GREAT REVIEWS of "Nor the Years Condemn" by Justin Sheedy
Review by Author Charlie Moore, Orange, Australia
"Nor the Years Condemn" was a truly enjoyable book. Weeks after reading it, I'm still thinking about it. And each time I think about it, it feels good. Mixed with the highly researched historical content, there's a sense of warmth, intimacy and shared connectedness with the main character that made me wish the book wouldn't end.
I have never been in a war personally, never flew a plane, have never lost someone I care about to a violent death, but I found myself relating to the characters in such a way that I felt their fear, anger, love, loss and determination in a way that moved me.
There were many parts of this book I found particularly enjoyable, but my favorite would have to be the character development of the main character, and particularly powerful was his connection and communication with his younger brother throughout the story. It struck a chord with me.
I couldn't imagine changing anything about his book, except to say I'd like it to not end. But I guess all good things must come to an end. Thank goodness there's a sequel!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action, drama, history and character driven stories. I'll be reading a lot more from Mr Sheedy!
Review by Michael High, Colorado Springs, USA
"Nor the Years Condemn": Where to start? The writing. Excellent. Everything flowed and, from the first chapter to the end, was fluid. Hints here and there as to what may happen in the future were freely dropped along the way. This kept me engrossed, kept me reading.
The story. Again, excellent. The history behind these young men (and women), the planes they used, the circumstances surrounding this time frame, et cetera – all well done. I thoroughly enjoyed the "story" of each character and how they interacted with each other. There were some shockers in there; war is hell, no? I also liked the hint of "espionage" involved.
"Nor the Years Condemn", to me, was a fantastic read. I can but recommend this book to others and impatiently await Justin's next work.

Review by David Nobbs, Sydney, Australia
"Your book is absolutely magnificent; I was completely enthralled and genuinely could not put it down. It is one of the top books of my life. Your detail is so spot on and your background absolutely superb, to me it is 120% out of 100%. Now I am desperately awaiting the sequel. Thank you again for such a wonderful uplifting book and already I know that "Ghosts of the Empire" will be equally exciting, thrilling and memorable."
Review by Marc H. Stevens – Author of 'Escape, Evasion and Revenge: The True Story of a German-Jewish RAF Pilot Who Bombed Berlin and Became a POW'
"Nor the Years Condemn" by Australian novelist Justin Sheedy draws the reader in and simply will not let go.
This story follows the war of an Australian law student who leaves school to volunteer in the RAAF as a fighter pilot. Beginning with the highs and lows of pilot training, the plot continues on to England and the early, uncertain and scary days as a new Spitfire pilot. Inexperienced pilots had no chance unless they could find a way to stay alive long enough to learn how to kill. Not an easy task, and one very well covered by Sheedy. Lucky, and not so lucky accidents and incidents take their toll. Action prevails, both in and out of the cockpit.
The plot and character development show a wealth of research. It is clear that Sheedy consulted with warriors who lived the actual events, and no fault in fact or concept was evident. This is not, by any means, a pretty story; rather, it shows war the way it really was: gory and nasty. In short, this book is as real as it must have been.
I cannot remember when a novel so engrossed me and forced me to read all hours of the day and night. Sleep and work may have interrupted my progress, but I made it through in 5 days, a near record for this plodding reader. I was honestly disappointed that I had to spend time to sleep before my reading could continue. This is a fine novel, and one that begs a sequel.
The cover art says it all: "First time overseas. With a unique job. Stop Hitler." Well done to the Allied fighter pilots, and to Justin Sheedy.
Review by Sandy Neilen, Brisbane, Australia
I do not do war. Not movies, not books, not artefacts – absolutely nothing. So when my favourite writer, Justin Sheedy, published a book on Fighter Pilots in WW2 I was in a quandary. Mindlessly I found myself asking bookshop owners if they carried 'Nor the Years Condemn' and as no one seemed to have it, I was, all of a sudden, on a mission. Eventually I found a copy and out of nothing more than blind trust, I bought and started to read 'Nor the Years Condemn'.
There was just enough of everything to keep me turning the pages. It became my date book – got to get back to that book, sorry, just have to finish the next chapter. In no time it was over and I was sorry it was over. You knew there were horrible things that happened and they are mentioned but not laboured. There is romance, adventure, and good people facing situations never contemplated with varied outcomes. I fell in love with some characters, admired others and despised some as well.
There are some details about planes and missions and even those were easy to read about because by that time you knew Daniel Quinn so well that you care about what he cared about. After reading, I have a better appreciation of some aspects of the Second World War but this was a story about people in a certain time and it is written with heart and it shows on every page. Just a great read – it deserves all the praise it gets."
(Personal note from Reviewer Sandy Neilen to Author Justin Sheedy…) "You really have mastered Page Turning Quality… I have only just finished 'Nor the Years'. It has been on my holiday reading list. Fantastic read. I was not able to get 'Ghosts of the Empire' up here. It will be an online purchase. Keep up the brilliant work." – Sandy Neilen
Review by Martin Zitek, Sydney, Australia
"Nor the Years Condemn" recounts the horrors of war as seen by one elite and effective unit of WWII. The author puts us there, in that time, by depicting: language, description of locations, the attitudes of the people and the spirit of the nation that would see it prevail through its darkest period of history. The reader is shown in clear, flowing narrative how war can touch us all, from the other side of the world, to the heights of the clouds.
The characters feel so real, we are sure they must have existed. The flying is portrayed so brilliantly, we feel an ace fighter pilot must have possessed Justin's head while he wrote this. The planes themselves become characters, even though mere machines, they became tools of victory and a symbol of ingenuity, technology and bloody determination. This is a testament to the research undertaken by the author and his wordsmithing we see as the end result.
We should count ourselves lucky today that the whole world has not since been embroiled in such a conflict and we hope it never will be again. Recounting the bravery of these men, and the staggering odds against their surviving, should make us never forget.
We will remember them.
Review by Shell Lancaster, Melbourne, Australia.
The book "Nor The Years Condemn" is a must have for any history buff. Not only for an insight into what it was like at the start of the war, but also an insight into Sydney at the time. Not only for the boys, everyone will take something away from this. Could definitely see this made into a mini-series or movie. The author sucks you in from the start, it is very hard to put down. You can tell that the author did a lot of research when writing this book and is passionate about the story and characters. Hoping there will be a sequel.
Review by Sarah Clifton, Sydney, Australia
You're a very talented author, Justin Sheedy… Wow just wow! Spitfires, Typhoons & Focke-Wulfs… Before reading this novel I didn't even know about the different types of aircraft used in war. At first I found it a bit confusing keeping up with the air force lingo but the more I kept reading the more I understood and learnt from it.
It was very interesting to read of the different stages of one's journey from Pilot Officer to Squadron Leader. You depicted the characters in a way that allowed the audience to connect with them, especially the main character, Quinn. I liked how this novel showed us from various angles how war affects people in different ways and their personal views. Various emotions from the characters (and yes us readers) were experienced such as courage, fear, admiration, pride, loss/grief, love and more.
I loved how the Australian culture and language was used and the mateship shown but most importantly I loved how realistically this novel was written… There wasn't one character who was perfect or immune to life's hardships e.g. Stephen Maddox's stutter, suicide, loss of a mate etc.
If I had wanted to, I wouldn't be able to find one fault of this book which is why I gave it a 5 star rating. I recommend this book to everyone especially young readers – Well done Justin!
Heartfelt thanks to the excellent Sarah Clifton — Justin Sheedy. Review at Goodreads HERE
Review by Dennis Groves, New Zealand
I took a longer time than is usual to read this excellent novel; mainly because even after a few pages I knew that I wanted to immerse into it completely. I thoroughly recommend it as a true to life and well-researched example of WW2 aviation fiction. For a younger person, Justin Sheedy has done a marvellous job of recreating life in the Allied air forces of the 1940s. Well done! Keep up the good work.
Review by Celia Byrnes, Iowa, USA.
This book follows the life of an Australian pilot from volunteering, training, shipping out to England, until the wind down of the war. Meticulously researched our fictional character's story is wholly believable, from descriptions of military training, learning to fly, airborne dog fights, war torn London, relationships formed and lost. A gripping story of war, love, loss and survival. As a Brit I found it an unusual perspective which is frequently overlooked, try not to let it make you late for work– it did me!
Review by Denise Boneham of Bury St Edmunds, England.
Well I finally got around to reading this the other day. I was predisposed to like it before I started cos it was about Aussie aircrew but it surpassed even my huge expectations. It made me laugh and cry at different times. It's a work of fiction but the voices and characters almost seemed like it was veterans speaking. Well done, Justin, there's a mini series in this. Bomber Command based novel next pretty please Justin!!!
My sincere thanks to Denise – please see her review at a great historical website, Commonwealth Forces in World War II. Denise, along with the above reader-reviewers of Nor the Years Condemn, will now feature in the next print-on-demand edition of the book in its Special Acknowledgements section.
Denise's Review at AMAZON UK…
Having watched this novel by Justin Sheedy for sometime on Facebook I was predisposed to like it even before I read it. I was not disappointed one iota. It has the feel of a biography because it reads so authentically. The characters are developed well and things happen to them that having read books by veterans of the era could well have happened. Good research Justin! I laughed and cried through the novel and was really glad of the ending. …Read it in one sitting…. Looking forward to seeing your next novel, Justin, but can you make it a Bomber Command one (pretty please). The Sydney Regional Aircrew Group might be good contacts for you for a start…. And maybe ABC will make it into a mini series?"
Review by Stephanie Speakman, Cape Cod, USA.
A war story, a love story and, above all, an historically correct novel for pilots and armchair readers alike. The darkest days of 1943 are resurrected by the memorable characters as the plot moves from Sydney to London and the skies above. Five stars!
My sincere thanks to Stephanie. See her Extended Review down the page…
Review by Nathan Dickey, Waco, Texas.
My interest was piqued when i saw it was about RAAF pilots in WWII, something we here in the US have to dig for and from my initial thoughts on the book, before it was read, I knew it would be very good. I had no clue though, that it would be even better than I expected. The story is an amazing read and I found the characters exceptional, each with their own unique personality. The way it's written gives you a connection to the characters and the attention to detail is superb, adding to the realism and feel of the story. It is obvious, the amount of time that was spent researching, little details pop out nicely, adding more depth to already intricate moments. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will read it again and again. I just couldn't seem to put it down, time escaping me as I read late into the night, several nights.
Truly a story one can get lost in, as I surely did. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in aviation, WWII or the RAAF/RAF in the war.
My heartfelt thanks to the excellent Nathan Dickey. — Justin Sheedy, June 2012.

Another insightful review of Nor the Years Condemn, this time from Andrew Landström of Sweden: Andrew writes…
I think a lot of social aspects go missing in a lot of novels about war… like family, love and the main characters' own feelings… Some authors seem not to be able to get the balance right. I think you did… I laughed out loud in some parts of the book as well as being moved almost to tears. "Nor The Years Condemn" by Justin Sheedy is a book among many about the young men who risked all to fly, fight, love and lose during World War 2. What makes this book stand out is the way it is written, the closeness you get with the main character. I'd have to say it is written with soul and is very balanced… I lost myself in descriptions of emotional trauma, being moved by the characters emotions, which I find a bonus. It is about everything around an individual caught up in the vortex of war, family, friends, love, loss, victory.
My sincere thanks to the excellent Andrew L.

Veteran Film, TV and Theatre Writer & Performer, Tim Bean, who ordered Nor the Years Condemn from AMAZON, has just penned the following Review of the book…
NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN is Goodreading.
NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN, by Justin Sheedy, is an engrossing war novel set amid Britain's fighter squadrons during WWII. In 1939, Daniel Quinn, 20, Sydney University 1ST XV Rugby star, applies to join the RAAF almost on a whim. It's a whim which will have him flying a Spitfire over Nazi Germany with a one in three chance of survival. Told mostly from Daniel's viewpoint, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN details the misfortunes of war experienced by a generation of young pilots, the best of the best, most of whom will die young. Daniel faces his first flight, first kill, first love, first loss and first meeting with a young colleague old before his time. It's a tense, well told story, gripping, from prologue to epilogue. (To those readers in the habit of skipping prologues, a word of advice: Don't skip this one.) Justin Sheedy's no-nonsense style of writing fits perfectly with his subject matter. The detailed research is obvious, yet there are no glaring information dumps. Instead, the exposition is so well integrated that it becomes part of the drama. In all, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN is a very good read which, incidentally, would also make a very good movie.
My huge thanks to Tim Bean. Please see Tim's veritably iconic contribution to Australian Film, TV, Theatre and Cultural Scene HERE. Tim's incomparable insight recently provided me, as the author and cover-designer of the book, with a true 'light-bulb-going-on' moment re a potential improvement to the back cover of Nor the Years Condemn. Tim's suggestion has resulted in an enrichment of the all-important experience for the bookstore browser of the book in being 'drawn into' the Key Character of the book, an experience richly promised by the front cover and which has now been made a reality, and to wide public approval.
Another excellent Reader Response from Nathan Dickey of Waco, Texas, who ordered Nor the Years Condemn from AMAZON…
Initial Response from Nathan Dickey, Texas…
Anyone who is interested in RAF/RAAF stories or historical fiction focusing on WWII will enjoy this. I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far; I like stories that allow you the chance to connect with the character, and this one does that quite well for me. A big thanks to the author for making it available as print-on-demand, and for writing a story one can get lost in. …I love the writing style.
Massive thanks to Nathan Dickey, who, along with all the above Reader-Reviewers, now features in the Special Acknowledgements (pages) of Nor the Years Condemn. — Justin Sheedy.
FULL REVIEW by Stephanie Speakman, USA…
Justin Sheedy convincingly paints Sydney and London from a fighter pilot's perspective. The story jinks like a Spitfire in Focke-Wulf's crosshairs. An airman's story and a love story, Nor the Years Condemn captures the essence of a time when life expectancies were short, when young men and women made the most from the moments they had as they gave their all to save the world they knew. Mateship was an unspoken assumption, and understatement a common denominator. Sheedy is totally at home in 1943; he knows the aircraft and their idiosyncrasies, the spirited thoroughbred of a Supermarine Spitfire, the unforgiving war horse of a Typhoon that could kill a pilot as easily as the enemy. He evokes blitzed London, its atmosphere of rubble, unexploded bombs, and dive-in-the-wall pubs contrasting sharply to the Sydney his protagonist, Daniel Quinn, left behind, brought to mind through family letters. An historically correct, beautifully crafted novel, Nor the Years Condemn leaves me anticipating Justin Sheedy's next work. Five stars!
My profound thanks, once again, to Stephanie Speakman. — Justin Sheedy.
Review by Stephen Horsman, Perth, Western Australia.
"Nor the Years Condemn. What a captivating read. Justin tells the story in such a way that one feels like one has become a character in the story. I believe that there is sub plot which pays tribute to the Australian men and women who volunteered their services for mother England during WWII and the sacrifices they made in doing so. The reader feels the ultimate glory of becoming a fighter pilot – the wish of all who volunteered – but only a very few actually achieved this dream. We see the reality of what those poor boys (and they were boys) had to endure when faced with the reality of a dogfight. I would recommend this book to all who have a love of history or aircraft of the era."
MY WARMEST THANKS to Stephen Horsman. He will be featured, as will his review, in the Special Acknowledgements page of the next edition of the book. — Justin Sheedy.
Reader Review by Paddy O'Connor, UK…
"I found this tale absolutely magnetic… His writing is highly readable and the storyline maintained my interest right from the beginning. His research was obviously long and deep, for the authenticity of locations, the excitement of the fight sequences, the overall strategic needs & detail and the general run of the plot made a brilliantly enjoyable book which ended with really quite unexpected pathos that was entirely in keeping with the spirit of the story. Happily, he avoided being drawn into the trap of broadening the two obvious love elements, yet managed to provide an interest in that direction by capturing the war-time emotional need for immediacy rather than the measured courting of less stressful times. I say all this, not because the author and I become 'friends' on Facebook following a mutual (UK) friend's recommendation of the book but because what I say is exactly what I feel – and I look forward greatly to reading the sequel… Keep writing Justin Sheedy – you tell a brilliant tale."
My Heart-felt thanks to Paddy.
Reader response from Logan Meddler Dehn, Indiana, USA…
"Justin, I absolutely LOVED your book. Every detail all fits together to make an amazing, compelling, and fascinating story! The best book I've ever read! I almost felt like I was there; I could see every scene in my mind and almost feel the rumble of the Spitfire's engines. I would recommend this book to anyone!"
Sincere cheers to Logan – Justin Sheedy, August 2012.
Reader response from Justin Osborne, Gainesville, Georgia, USA.
"This was an excellent book and shows what the young men went through during World War 2 while flying the latest fighters of the day and the sacrifices they made to protect the free world from Nazi Germany and the imperialist Japan. I strongly recommend this book for anyone that is a WW2 buff. I give this book 10 stars."
Reader response from Jason Mitchell, UK.
"For anybody who likes a good read try "Nor the Years Condemn" by an Australian chap by the name of Justin Sheedy. It's about young Australian pilots who volunteer to join the RAF in our time of our darkest days of WW2 when the Luftwaffe were relentlessly bombing our airfields and cities. You will find the story exciting and you will be enthralled and want to read it over and over again. I highly recommend the book and it would make anybody young or old a brilliant stocking filler."
My most sincere thanks to Jason – Justin Sheedy, October 2012.
Review by Angela La Camera Paino, Sydney, Australia.
"There have been 2 most positive experiences since I got on to Facebook. One of them has been reading "Nor the Years Condemn" by Justin Sheedy.
Set during WWII, this is an outstanding novel where its Australian author has captured the perfect balance between what is expected of "story telling" & historical accuracy. The author's incredible sensibility reflects in his portrayal of each & every character. I thought particularly moving his description of how Daniel (the main hero) spent his last day in Sydney with his younger brother Matt and again in Matt's letters to his beloved & much admired brother Danny, a wonderful way for the author to give us an insight into life in Sydney of the period. A wonderful way to make them so real, so human and a clever way to let us in to their innermost dreams & aspirations… The perfect way to make them so real; you do believe they are & feel all they feel along with them.
The author's meticulous & accurate description of the flying, the planes (I never knew there were so many!), the training, the missions over foreign locations, the hint of espionage, the glory & the emotional trauma of its characters has all the makings of a classic war movie – At times I could liken to a documentary. So much so, that I believe this is a book which should be made part of the SCHOOL CURRICULUM. For what better way to inspire & capture the young ones' imagination but with a book such as this?!
Did I say 2 most postive experiences since I got on to Facebook? I will leave the 2nd one for a later time !!!!"
My true thanks to Angela La Camera Paino for her most insightful and elegant Review – Justin Sheedy, November 2012.
Reader Response by Mitchell Newell of Sydney, Australia.
"Nor the Years Condemn" brings to life the realities of war. The reader is able to put themselves in the positions of the main characters – I would recommend this novel to anyone I come in contact with.
Thank YOU, Mitchell – Justin Sheedy.
From Ms Glen Knight, UK. (Review on Amazon UK)
"I cannot praise this book enough, it is written with a real understanding of people, aviation and era… A superb depiction of life, love and war in the 1940's. The research for it must have been thorough and extensive, but that leaves even more credit to the author who writes in a way that makes you believe you are actually there… his characters are friends. Anyone who thinks this is just another "War Book" is in for a pleasant surprise."
My most sincere thanks to the wonderful Ms Knight. My response to her was as follows…
"Dear Glen, thanks from the bottom of my heart for your so very kind words. I am truly touched that you've engaged with Nor the Years Condemn in the way you describe. You are Spot On, too: My greatest hope for the story is that it should be a homage to the People who made the history and to the Era, and also that it might educate people even now learning about this stunning period of our history by putting them RIGHT IN that history – especially by engaging them with the Characters who made it, and 'characters' they were: in order to become fighter pilots, the best & brightest of a generation, their loss so tragic. And that was indeed my inspiration to write this story. To write an Anti-War Story." – Justin Sheedy 2013
2 February 2012 12:03 am
There has been some debate as to whether the line "Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn" should end with the words 'condemn' or 'contemn'. Contemn means to 'despise' therefore either word would make sense in the context of the stanza. When the poem was first printed in The Times on 21 September 1914 the word 'condemn' was used. This word was also used in the anthology The Winnowing Fan: Poems of the Great War in 1914 in which the poem was published later. If the original publication had contained a misprint Binyon would have had the chance to make amendments, so it seems unlikely that the word 'contemn' was meant. The issue of what word was meant seems only to have arisen in Australia , with little debate in other Commonwealth countries that mark Remembrance Day .
Leanne Gittus permalink30 September 2016 5:03 pm
"Nor the Years Condemn" is one truly great read. As a female reader, historical war stories never really interested me. The only historical books I read were period histories, or those written by authors such as Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte etc. imagine my surprise when I started reading " Nor the Years Condemn" and literally could not put it down!
Justin has a simply awesome writing style. So easy to read and his characters are all realistic. His characters are totally engrossing. Reading his book was simply like just talking to him.
His research and knowledge of the era and aircraft is nothing less than amazing! It certainly gave me so much more of an insight of the dreadful circumstances faced by these brave people.
Justin managed to keep me, the female reader, totally absorbed in the book by interspersing action scenes with personal scenes.
An absolutely fabulous book and I am now now reading "Ghosts of the Empire" to be followed by his latest book "No Greater Love". I am a convert! I am hooked! Thank you, Justin!

The Basic panel has two sliders-- Recovery and Fill Light--that are aimed squarely at fixing two common specific photo problems, blown-out highlights-- that's Recovery--and blocked-up shadows--that's Fill Light. Let's talk about the Recovery slider first. The purpose of the Recovery slider is to protect highlights from being clipped. Ideally, you want detail in the highlights--the very brightest parts of a photo-- except when you're shooting something reflective like glass. A clipped highlight is one that doesn't have detail, like the plain white area of the clouds up here, or of the mountains over here and back here.
The good news is that you have a good chance of recovering detail in areas like these using the Recovery slider, particularly if you're working with a RAW photo. Sometimes it's hard to see highlight clipping from just looking at a photo like this, and that's one place the histogram can help. Let's go over to the histogram and notice that there's a spike on the right side of the histogram. If you see a spike there, you know that there are clipped highlights. And if you hover over the Highlight Clipping Indicator triangle here and you see red marks in the photo, you'll also know you've got clipped highlights.
Those red marks tell you exactly which pixels lack detail. I'm going to click on this Highlight Clipping Indicator to keep it activated, and then I'm going to go down to the Recovery slider, and I'm going to drag it to the right to try to bring back detail in the areas under the red clipping marks. I'll drag to the right, and as I do, those marks disappear and the spike on the histogram goes away, and that means that I've brought back detail in those areas. Let's take a closer look at the image to see the results. I'm going to move over and click right on that mountain to zoom into 100%, and now let's do a before and after to compare.
This is how this area now looks after the Recovery adjustment, and I'll press the Backslash key so we can see the before view without the Recovery adjustment. So you can see that there really is more detail after than there was before. So I'll go back to the after view. Of course, I would usually check the other areas too, but for now I'm going to go with this result. Of course there are some photos, like extremely overexposed photos, in which recovery may not be enough to bring back all the blown-out highlights.
In those cases, along with a Recovery adjustment, you might also try dragging the Exposure slider a little bit to the left to decrease exposure. But use a light hand when you decrease exposure too, because that will darken the entire photo, whereas Recovery darkens just the highlights, and that's the beauty of the Recovery slider. One caveat about the Recovery slider: it was designed to be used on photos with actual clipped highlights, so before you use Recovery, check the histogram to see if there is a spike on the right; and if you decide to try Recovery anyway, double-check that it doesn't introduce a gray overcast to your photo.
Let's look at the other slider in the Basic panel that's for a specific tonal issue, and that's the Fill Light slider. Fill Light brightens just the shadow areas in a photo, similar to the effect you might get with a Fill Flash on a camera. It's useful in situations in which the shadows are blocked up, in other words, too dark and lacking in detail. A typical example is a backlit photo. Here, the sun is coming from behind the flower, causing its center to go too dark to see detail there. If there is detail in the shadow areas, we can try to tease it out by dragging the Fill Light slider to the right. And sure enough, now we can see a lot more detail in the center of this flower.
One downside to using the Fill Light slider is that the photo can start to look a little chalky, or washed out, and if you look closely, you'll see that here. That's because moving the Fill Light slider to the right makes the blacks in the photo less strong, and you can see that in the histogram too, where the mound of tones that represent the dark areas of the photo are now pulled away from the far-right of the histogram. To fix that, when I use the Fill Light slider, I almost always move the Blacks slider a little bit to the right as well. You can see when I did that in this photo, it took away some of that chalky appearance.
Back lighting like this isn't the only situation in which the Fill Light slider is useful. Give it a try on any photo in which there's uneven lighting that might be balanced out by opening up the shadows. There is one more control in the Tone section of the Basic panel that we haven't looked at, and that is the Auto button right here. Auto Tone tries to automatically set the six sliders we've covered so far in this chapter: Exposure, Recovery, Fill Light, Blacks, Brightness, and Contrast. I usually don't recommend any auto feature as a final solution, but sometimes Auto Tone can give you a good starting place which you can then fine-tune manually by moving the sliders.
Let's see what it does to this photo. And it certainly does bring out the shadows in this photo. Now because Auto Tone happened to increase Fill Light here, I'm also going to manually increase Blacks. So that's how I might use Auto Tone. Now we've covered all the controls in the Tone section of the Basic panel. These are the sliders you'll use most often to do a basic photo correction. But to take a photo a little beyond that, to add some punch, try using the Clarity and Vibrance sliders down here at the bottom of the Basic panel, which I'll cover in the next movie.

The Socialist candidate for president was in Buffalo last weekend.
There were no street closings, Secret Service or media hordes, because it wasn't Barack Obama, despite what Fox News might say.
No, this was the real Socialist candidate, Peta Lindsay, whose presence on the ballot in New York and 12 other states should at least prompt the question: What has the free market done for me lately?
As Mitt Romney runs as the unabashed capitalist and Obama runs away from any notion that saving Detroit or asking more from the superwealthy smacks of socialism, Lindsay revels in the word and even sees things moving her way.
"A lot of people are beginning to question a system that hasn't brought them very much," the 28-year-old Howard University graduate says.
She points to a December 2011 Pew Research Center poll in which 49 percent of Americans ages 18 to 29 had a positive reaction to the word "socialism," while 43 percent reacted negatively. Overall, nearly a third of Americans reacted positively – which is remarkable, given the stridence of our free-market indoctrination.
Lindsay even sees the Republican Party helping the cause by applying the label to Obama's policies.
"So people who want health care are like, 'Yeah, well maybe I'm a socialist,' " she said, sitting in a Sweet Avenue home in one of the poorest parts of Buffalo.
But partisan labeling aside, the data is what should convince Americans that something is fundamentally wrong with the economic system they've been handed by those for whom it works best.
Something is fundamentally wrong when stock market indexes were up by double digits through the first three quarters, while the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the real disposable personal income you had to spend, after taxes and inflation, declined by 0.3 percent in August.
Something is fundamentally wrong when the Government Accountability Office said the Agriculture Department paid farmers $10.6 billion between 2003 and last year not to farm at the same time Feeding America said 33 million adults and 16 million children were hungry in 2011.
Something is fundamentally wrong when productivity rises – as it did by 2.2 percent in the second quarter – primarily because employers stopped hiring and sat on profits while 12 million Americans look for work.
Something is fundamentally wrong when Bureau of Labor Statistics graphs show diverging lines as productivity outpaces pay, and when Federal Reserve charts show corporate profits skyrocketing as the employment/population ratio plummets and the ratio of employee compensation to GDP nose-dives.
When the top 1 percent control 43 percent of the wealth and the top 5 percent control 72 percent, while 15 percent of Americans live in poverty and the middle class shrinks, something is fundamentally wrong.
Despite such data, Lindsay – who is legally too young to serve – won't get many votes, here or elsewhere. The goal of her Party for Socialism and Liberation is to build a movement. She quotes a South African anti-apartheid activist: All revolutions are impossible until they happen; then they become inevitable.
With the kind of record our two-party duopoly is amassing, the only question is: How long?

HOMEWOOD, Alabama -- This week, Homewood High School social studies teacher Rhonda Rush will pack her bags and head to Washington, D.C. for the two-day C-SPAN Classroom 2013 Educator's Conference on Thursday, July 11 and Friday, July 12.
Earlier this year, Rush competed against applicants from around the nation to secure a position at the conference. At the end of the week, Rush will be joined by the other social studies/technology teachers who have also been selected. In D.C., they will learn how to use C-SPAN in their yearly curriculum.
According to a news release, participants will learn more about C-SPAN's Video Library, Congressional Chronicle and a variety of other free digital and social media resources designed to help a classroom come to life. Historian and author William Seale will be present at the event, where he will speak at the conference dinner.
"Our goal," said Joanne Wheeler, C-SPAN Vice President of Education in a news release, "is that after the conference teachers will return to their communities armed with solid teaching tips, tools and strategies for using C-SPAN's primary source programming to engage their students in a better understanding of how government works, as well as how to become informed citizens."
C-SPAN provides the roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations for all selected attendees.

Class-leading handling and ride will jumpstart the Renault Clio's launch in the light-car market next year. A lack of airbags may deflate some of that edge, at least among potential buyers who want the maximium protection for rear-seat passengers. It's still a five-star car, though, and one of the best driving vehicles in the light car segment.
Prices haven't been set for the Clio - it doesn't go on sale until midway through next year - but Carsguide predicts it will be around $16,500. That's based on Renault Australia managing director Justin Hocevar's assertion the car will be priced between the top-selling Japanese model (the $15,790 Mazda2) and the best-selling Euro vehicle (the $16,990 Volkswagen Polo).
Specification likewise hasn't been set for the local cars, but expect the base model - a 900cc turbocharged three-cylinder - to come with cruise control, keyless entry, daytime running lights and possibly even satnav as standard gear.
The optional R-Link seven-inch touchscreen is an Android-powered system developed by Renault and TomTom. It is a multimedia interface with satnav and an embedded SIM that lets it connect to the internet and download apps that (in Europe) range from alerting drivers to the nearest and/or cheapest fuel, provide speed camera warnings and prioritise internet radio stations based on users' previous preferences.
A dual-clutch automated manual transmission will be available on the mid-range petrol engine - likely the 1.2-litre turbo - and the top-end turbo diesel. All models should have engine idle stop/start.
Outputs for the turbocharged 1.5-litre diesel aren't huge -- 66kW/220Nm -- but it has impressive economy at 3.4L/100km, making the diesel Clio the most fuel-efficient engine in its class. In Australia it will only be sold with the EDC dual-clutch transmission, so expect around a $4000 premium over the base price.
A compact, classy package with plenty of interior space should put the Clio on a lot of short lists. The 300-litre boot takes two big suitcases with ease and there's room for two adults in the back without the front occupants having to keep their seats forward. The materials look and feel good and the only complaint is the seat is made for a bigger butt than mine.
Even then, the fabric has good grip but I'd prefer the side bolsters to have thicker padding to offset cornering forces. The front end is dominated by the big Renault badge set on a piano-black horizontal stripe across the bonnet that gives the car road presence. The scalloped door panels don't hurt either, while the rear of the five-door hatch is solid, if not sensational.
It will be interesting to see if ANCAP adopts the five-star rating EuroNCAP has given the Clio. The light car comes with four airbags, meaning the rear passengers aren't cushioned in a side-crash, much like the VW Up!.
Renault admits the decision was price-driven but argues the structural strength and dual-stage seatbelt pretensioners provide more than enough protection for back-seat passengers. Software includes the expected ABS with stability control and hill-start assist.
The Clio has the capacity to surprise, at least not when it comes to the 900cc engine that is expected to be the entry point for the range in Australia. The lightweight engine isn't the quickest cab in the field off the lights but once underway it is hard to fault, pulling cleanly from low revs right up to redline.
The Ford Fiesta was Renault's benchmark for ride and handling and they've come very close to bettering it, though a definitive test will have to wait until the Clio lands here. The car's poise through corners shames much more expensive models and changes of direction are taken in its stride. Understeer eventually appears but a tiny lift off the throttle will have the car tracking true again.
The electric steering is light around town and adds effort as the pace picks up. The good news is it's pinpoint precise at any speed. The suspension coped with rural Italy's patched-up roads with barely a shake and while larger bumps at speed could momentarily unsettle the torsion-beam rear, it is something most owners won't feel.
A brief stint in the diesel shows it is on a par with the best oilburners coming out of Europe, with on-the-go performance that impresses. Like the 900cc petrol, the engine is functional ahead of frisky, with low-down torque that happily copes with third gear roll-on acceleration from 30km/h.
This is the best regular Renault on the market. It drives as well as it looks and, airbags aside, will rate as one of the smarter choices in the light car pack.

We have a love-hate relationship with cops, you and I, although we don't like to acknowledge it during times such as this. It feels unseemly.
Right now, Mobilians are mourning the stabbing death of Officer Steven Green, who was killed Friday in the line of duty.
His friends, family members and fellow officers are grappling with the prospect of life without him. Their misery is palpable.
Meanwhile, his co-workers also are confronting the fresh reality of how dangerous their jobs are.
The rest of us are sad, too, of course. Not yet 40, married with three children, Steven Green was an honorable man who was far too young to die at the hands of a two-bit criminal.
We will salute him as a hero when he is buried with honors later this week.
That's what we call cops — heroes — when they're killed or wounded on the job. The rest of the time, we're conflicted.
We curse when we see their blue lights in the rearview mirror. We're resentful when we get caught in a long, slow line of cars at a roadblock.
We want the police to come to our house when it has been burglarized, however.
And they must help us when we've been injured and rescue us when disaster has struck.
We want them to be aggressive, highly trained and always ready to confront evil-doers on our behalf.
We don't want to pay cops a decent salary, though, and if that means some of them have to take second jobs to support their families, so be it.
We pretend to understand they work in a pressure-cooker, and yet on the rare occasion that a cop goes overboard, we act surprised that such a thing could happen.
We alternate between stereotypes in which all cops are like the tough guys on "Law & Order" or like the caricatures who spend their days eating doughnuts and drinking coffee.
Then, when things go wrong and a police officer is killed — not on TV, but right here in south Alabama — we are stunned.
Did we not believe the platitudes society utters about how it takes special people to be cops, that there's potential for danger in every call they answer and every stop they make, that their wives and husbands and children live each day in fear that they'll be killed?
Guess what: The platitudes are true.
In the death of Officer Green, we are reminded anew that people who go into law enforcement are a rare breed, that they do risk their lives every day, and that their loved ones are not irrational in their concern.
Yes, cops are imperfect. And yes, there will be times when their duty to enforce the law inconveniences us, costs us money or maybe even lands us or a family member in jail.
But day-in and day-out, they serve us, protect us and sometimes give their lives for us.
If that isn't heroic, I don't know what is.

The Lefors Pirates don't like the fact that they are picked last in six-man District 1-A.
But they understand why. The Pirates had a 3-7 squad last year, and all three wins came against junior varsity teams. After cancelingthe 1997 season because of a player shortage and playing with a 13-man roster in 1998, a three-win season has to be considered a step forward.
"I think most of our kids would like to show that's not right, that we're not the bottom of the district," said Lefors coach Ronny Miller.
Now they are looking to take another step. A .500 record could be out of reach of the Pirates. Their goal: to surprise some people.
"We were pretty young, mostly freshmen," Miller said. "I scheduled some games so we could compete a little better. I scheduled three JVs, and those were the games we won. We needed some games where we could compete. But we could either blow them out or they'd blow us out.
"We're going to be a lot improved. We may not win a whole lot of games, but we are going to surprise them on the field. We're going to match with people strength-wise."
With second-team all-district back Michael Steele, a senior, they might be able to do that.
"He's the fastest one we've got on the team," Miller said. "He's a go-to guy. When you've got to have it, you give it to Michael. He's a good, hard runner."
Senior lineman Jeremy Pierce is another of the four returning starters.
"He's really strong," Miller said. "He's one of the most committed in the weight room."
The Pirates will go into the season with the core of this team being sophomores; three are expected to start. There are six sophomores and six freshmen on the roster but only three seniors and two juniors.
"We're real young again, but several of those freshmen from last year played a lot," Miller said. "The sophomore group is really a committed group. Everyone is just pushing themselves to the limits."
Sophomore Caleb Barnes is expected to be one of the starters at running back, and Dee J. Preston will start at end on offense and linebacker on defense.
Another year will help the group of sophomores, and so will an off-season or two. The younger group has spent some time in the weight room this off-season. - HEDLEY PREVIEW, SEE PAGE 93 STEELE

I an drinking bourbon county cherry rye draft for the second time and trying to remember exactly how it smells and tastes because after tonite (and the 6 bottles I've enjoyed this year) I realize I may never have this beer again. So what do you do when you drink the last of what you consider the best beer you've ever had? And don't think they could improve upon this? And OML (oh my Lord) the young thing im sitting besides at the bar is drop dead gorgeous, with bangs, yes bangs.

Dear DART — This is how to webcast a meeting
The Texas Transportation Commission is meeting right now, and the public will be able to watch it do business by clicking onto the TxDOT website from their computers. Most major state agencies and university boards telecast or webcast their meetings. Most large local cities and school boards do one or the other, then post archived versions on their websites.
The Dallas Area Rapid Transit board does none of the above, and I don't get it.
I've written about this before, in a blog item, and the newspaper published an editorial on the matter. We reported that Rep. Pat Fallon plans legislation next year to get DART meetings online.
Today's Transportation Commission meeting brought DART's deficiency to mind once again. Our local transit agency needs to get this fixed. I predict it will happen voluntarily or involuntarily.

Also, I have a quick N=1 experiment that could solve this whole situation. Someone from Team CICO who is passionate that "a calorie is a calorie" should go on a calorie restricted, mostly liquid sucrose diet for 3 months. [B]Exercise as much as you want. Keep calories "low."[/B] Do whatever magic you want. But make sure to consume mostly liquid sucrose - like 70% of calories.
I'd bet you'd gain serious fat, even if you forced yourself to go to the gym AND starved yourself, [B]because cals would be shunted into the fat tissue no matter what.[/B] So your BMR would plunge (you'd have no energy) and you'd start to catabolize muscle and organ tissue to meet the energy deficit instead of fat. but that's just my guess.[/QUOTE]
Even with that kind of liquid sucrose load, if this experiment is both calorie restricted and allows exercise at will, so little of that energy would end up in adipose tissue. It doesn't take more than two minutes on Pubmed to learn that. Ever heard of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogenesis]glycogenesis[/url]?

Contract grants exec new stock options
Edgar Bronfman Jr. has reupped for five years at the helm of Warner Music Group, the company said.
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Friday, WMG said the chairman and chief exec would be paid a salary of at least $1 million, with a bonus of 600% of the base pegged to certain performance targets. The terms, which run through March 15, 2013, are the same as those in Bronfman's just-expired pact.
The new contract also grants Bronfman 2.75 million stock options at Friday's closing price of $5.29 a share.
That price is about one-third the levels of a year ago but above the 52-week low established in January. Although the music biz has suffered through a well-documented slump in recent years, WMG's recent earnings suggest reason to hope.

Album Review
Of course, the first thing that strikes you listening to the first
Barbra Streisand
album, recorded and released before the singer's 21st birthday, is that great voice. And it isn't just the sheer quality of the voice, its purity and its strength throughout its register, it's also the mastery of vocal effects that produce dramatic readings of the lyrics -- each song is like a one-act musical.
opens with
Julie London
's signature torch song, "Cry Me a River," and she doesn't only surpass
, she sets off a thermonuclear explosion. From there, versatility and novelty are emphasized -- a breakneck version of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?," a slow, emotion-drenched performance of "Happy Days Are Here Again." But
's debut, inventively arranged and conducted by
Peter Matz
, is notable as much for the surprising omissions as the surprising selections. Arriving in 1963, ten years into the revival of sophisticated interwar theater songs led by
Frank Sinatra
and followed by all other adult pop singers,
virtually ignores the modern masters like
. When she does do
Rodgers & Hart
Cole Porter
, she picks obscure songs; her idea of a good 1930s number is
Fats Waller
Andy Razaf
's "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now." She is much more comfortable with recent theater material, choosing two songs from
The Fantasticks
(1960) and the title song from the stage play A Taste of Honey (1962).
The Barbra Streisand Album
is an essential recording in the field of pop vocals because it redefines that genre in contemporary terms. (
The Barbra Streisand Album
won Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Female Vocal Performance, and Best Album Cover.)

Tom Brady beat the Bills on the ground and in the air.
For about 30 minutes, it seemed a possibility that the Buffalo Bills would beat the New England Patriots for the second straight season.
That evaporated very quickly in the second half of a game for which the final score was a 52-28 rout.
This was a historically-significant win for the Patriots. Let's take a closer look at what made it so noteworthy.
First time for everything
This marked the first time the Patriots scored 45 points in the second half of a game. It's the first time any team scored 45 points or more in the second half since the 1972 Cincinnati Bengals did so against the Oilers .
And a second time for everything too …
Brandon Bolden (137 rush yds) and Stevan Ridley (106) are the first Patriots teammates with 100 rushing yards in a game since Nov. 23, 1980 (Don Calhoun & Vagas Ferguson).
Patriots Trailing Bills at Halftime
Past 5 Instances
This also marked the second straight week that the Patriots had a pair of 100-yard receivers (in this case: Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski).
We can combine the two notes and get the following stat, courtesy of the Elias Sports Bureau.
The Patriots are the second team in NFL history with a pair of 100-yard rushers and a pair of 100-yard receivers in the same game. The other was the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions in 2008.
The 52 points are also the second-most scored against the Bills at their home field.
The only other time in franchise history the Bills allowed 50-or-more points at home was Week 11 in 2007 (November 18) in a 56-10 loss to the Patriots.
Offensive Key to victory: Between the tackles
Ridley, Bolden and even Tom Brady on one play, shredded the Bills' interior run defense.
The Patriots gained 200 of their 247 rushing yards between the tackles, the
third-highest yardage total of any team since the start of the 2008 season.
The Patriots 200 yards rushing inside the tackles was more than the Bills had allowed in their first three games of the season (166).
Offensive Key to Victory II: Brady's deep touch
Brady found his range downfield in the second half. Brady threw two of his three touchdowns on passes at least 15 yards downfield. Both of Brady's deep touchdowns came against five or more pass rushers.
Attempts of 15+ Yards Downfield
Tom Brady, 2012 Season
Brady had a much better time throwing the ball downfield than he did in the first three games of the season, as the chart on the right shows.
Last season, Brady had the third-highest completion rate on throws of 15-or-more yards (51 percent).
Brady also finished 3-for-4 for 61 yards when the Bills sent five or more rushers.
He has now thrown a touchdown in 36 straight games, tying Brett Favre for the third-longest streak in NFL history.
This just in if you wish to add it…
Brady completed 17-of-22 passes for 269 yards and accounted for three touchdowns when the score was tied or the Patriots were trailing on Sunday. He had a 99.3 Total QBR when the Patriots were trailing. His Total QBR when the Patriots trailed in their other three games this season was 65.3
Brady is now 19-2 all-time in his career against the Bills.
Defensive Key to Victory: Defending the empty backfield
Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had success passing with an empty backfield in the first 30 minutes, with five completions in nine attempts, but that fortune faded away in the second half. Fitzpatrick completed just 1-of-9 passes with an empty backfield in the final two quarters, threw two interceptions and was strip-sacked as well.
Fitzpatrick finished with a very unusual line- four touchdowns and four interceptions. He is the first quarterback in Bills history to post that line in a game and the first to ever post such a line against the Patriots.
Coincidentally, the last quarterback with a four-touchdown, four-interception game was Brady in the loss to the Bills last season.

Penn State Altoona students have created social media marketing plans for the Pittsburgh-to-Harrisburg Main Line Canal Greenway, a regional community development project administered by the Allegheny Ridge Corp.
The Greenway project was the focus of an Intermediate Social Media Marketing course taught by Tulay Girard, associate professor of marketing.
The project was orchestrated by Thomas Shaffer, academic internship coordinator and co-coordinator of Penn State Altoona's Center for Community-Based Studies, as part of an ongoing academic-community partnership with ARCorp.

Student teams presented their social media marketing plans to ARCorp directors Jane Sheffield and Claudia Pequignot and will implement those plans during the spring semester.
ARCorp is a private, nonprofit organization involved in economic development, historic preservation, outdoor recreation and environmental conservation along the 320-mile corridor of Pennsylvania's historic Main Line Canal.
The Main Line Canal was part of the Pennsylvania System of Public Works, a critically important transportation improvement that enabled the rapid expansion of commerce between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh from 1834-57, when it was purchased by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Kerry garda wins award for bravery
Published 14/11/2012 | 11:29
THE courage of a West Kerry Garda, who saved the life of a man trapped in a burning building, will be recognised at a special ceremony in Dublin this Friday.
Garda Seán Brosnan, a native of Garrynadur, Lispole, will travel to Farmleigh House in the Phoenix Park this Friday where Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan will present him with the Garda Award for Bravery.
Seán, who has been stationed in Clonmel for the past ten years, will receive the bravery award along with two of his colleagues, Garda John Hennessy and Garda Marie Lonergan. Together they rescued a man from certain death in a blazing bungalow fire in November 2010.
Garda Brosnan and Garda Hennessy risked their lives when they entered the burning house in Clonmel to rescue the unconscious man in his 40s from his bedroom with the aid of Garda Lonergan.
The Gardai had responded to a 999 call and upon arrival had been informed by neighbours that a man was still inside the house which was on fire. Garda Brosnan and Garda Hennessy risked their lives by entering the burning building where they found the injured man in a bedroom and managed to drag him to the window where Garda Lonergan helped pull the victim from the blaze.
Speaking to The Kerryman this week, a modest Garda Brosnan said that the rescue was simply "part of the job".
"It's a great honour to receive this award but that's the job and it's all part of it," he added.
Garda Brosnan is the son of Mike and Eileen Brosnan from Garrynadur, Lispole and a large contingent of family and friends from the parish will travel to Dublin this Friday to attend the awards ceremony.

Texas AandM football preview: 5 reasons why Aggies fans should be optimistic
1. Senior quarterback: Jerrod Johnson is being widely heralded as a Heisman Trophy contender. His play last season set plenty of A&M records, and he returns as the senior leader with aspirations of a Big 12 Championship. His calming, experienced presence in the huddle and on the field should help a young offensive line. And his skill set should push the offense to unparalleled levels.
2. Skill position talent: A&M boasts one of the more talented set of skill position players. Running backs Christine Michael and Cyrus Gray are both explosive, downhill runners who can force teams to keep eight in the box. And the wide receiver set, with Jeff Fuller, Uzoma Nwachukwu and Ryan Tannehill can stretch the field.
3. Tim DeRuyter: The A&M defense can't be any worse, right? The unit ranked 106th in the country and last in the conference in total defense last season. New coordinator DeRuyter brings with him a pedigree of getting the most out of his defenses -- his Air Force unit was No. 10 in 2009. He also brings with him an attacking 3-4 defense that Aggie fans hope will be reminiscent of the Wrecking Crew days.
4. Von Miller: The senior "joker" surprised many by electing to stay at A&M after a 17-sack season in 2009 that led the nation. But Miller is back and with DeRuyter calling the shots, he should excel coming off the edge. Miller should give fellow outside linebacker Sean Porter more freedom on the opposite side.
5. The schedule: Sure, the Big 12 is still a gauntlet, but A&M gets Texas Tech, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska at Kyle Field. The early-season schedule sets up for A&M to get off to a 7-1 or even 8-0 start. Granted, going to Stillwater for an early-season showdown won't be easy and winning in Austin is never a small task, but the 2010 slate along with some good fortune should give A&M a reasonable shot at 10 wins.
