Oooh first to post! Here's my question why were Kayo, Nocturna and Vizar never as developed as the other characters?
Now that the N/A DVD is out, I've got a hunch all you guys (and gals) are going to have a lot of questions. I discussed this with The Shadow and he's been gracious enough to approve me starting my own thread. Trust me, this isn't a question of ego nor pomposity -- neither of which are likely to exist in a television writer who's been kicking for around for as long as this aging warrior has been. Rather, the thinking here is that it'll be more efficient all of us to have all questions directed to me through a single thread instead of all over the place.
I'd like to kick this off by telling everyone what I thrill it's been for me to be on the Forum these past months. (And I look forward to being around as long as you'll all have me.) The support I've felt from ardent N/A fans has been heartening and I'm delighted to see that He-man fans who've never viewed the series, along with some loyal MOTU fans, are open to giving N/A a new chance. I must say I've enjoyed everyone's posting on this and all other forums. I've found He-man fans, by and large, are an intelligent, witty and engaging group. Stimulating conversation and interaction is difficult to find in today's world and I'm so very happy to have found it here. I believe we owe and enormous thank you to everyone involved with creating, maintaining and administering he-man.org. That's not smoke-blowing; just a simple statement of fact, because none of us would be enjoying these forums if it weren't for them.
To everyone posting, let me say from the start that I don't expect the N/A series to be embraced by everyone -- no series ever is. But I'm pleased that so many loyal MOTU fans seem to have gotten past their initial disappointment when N/A first debuted. So thanks to one and all.
What I'd like to do here is establish a few loose ground rules for all of us for this thread. First, I think it's a good idea for anyone not familiar with where I'd hoped to take N/A in Season Two, to take a look at my posts from #27 on in The New Adventures of He-man 1990 Annual thread. I think they pretty much lay out my thoughts and will hopefully give loyal MOTU fans a reason not to want to draw and quarter me.
Next, this thread is really intended to be a place for you all to ask me whatever questions you want. It should primarily be about N/A, but I have no problem fielding queries about the children's entertainment, toy and animation industries in general.
Please, no hate postings. Lord knows there's more than enough hate in the world already. So we don't need any more over, least of all over a toon. On the other hand, my fragile writer's ego has no problem with you offering a few superlatives. But seriously, postings about your relative likes or dislikes for N/A are more appropriately directed to the official N/A DVD feedback thread.
Two other minor matters, then you can fire away: 1) I had nothing to do with Skeletor's eyes, so please let's not get into that. 2) I had nothing to do with voice casting or voice direction. I was responsible for developing the series bible, writing thirty-seven episodes, story-editing some others and reviewing most of the storyboards.
One final bit of business. Although I know I've said it in other posts, I'd like to again say how very grateful I am to BCI for bringing out the DVD. It's wonderful for me to have this gift after all these years, but even more precious for me to see how it lights up my seven-year old son's eyes. So many thanks to all.
And now, let's do it!

Oooh first to post! Here's my question why were Kayo, Nocturna and Vizar never as developed as the other characters?
Hey Super7 I'm looking forward to what you do for Classics and I'm awaiting these figures!
Spinwit, Gepple, Alcon, Meldoch, Krax, Kayo, Stridor, Kittrina, Melaktha, Drissi, Master Sebrian, Sagitar, Vizar, Nocturna
My Facebook, check it out!
I'd like to know what your views on She-ra were, favourite characters etc and what would you have done with her, what direction etc if you had have continued with a second series of NA.
You mist have seen the episode featuring the appearance of Teela were you not abit surprised at the way she appeared, in my opinion she looks more like She-ra than Teela, any opinion/comment on this...
Finally if you did do a series 2 etc would there have been more 'sword and sorcery'?

I know you worked on the series, but as far as the toy line goes, do you have any knowledge of which characters Mattel might've had in the works but never ended up getting a toy? (Other than the ones we already know about in catalogues/online) Did Mattel keep you at all updated on what they had in development toy-wise?
Be ready for some very specific questions!
- There's a spoken antipathy between Sagitar and Staghorn that isn't really explained. What was the origin of their feud?
- Late in the series, some of robots show up who are the same make as Artilla, and their leader makes a reference to him having escaped "the Great One" or something like that. What was that about?
Thought I'd make this one a sticky
- Later in the series, when you introduced the Gleanons and the Mites, were they your own creations or a proposal from Mattell? I know they were going to be bringing out figures of them before the line ended.
- In Season Two, would Skeletor have reunited with the Mutants or just stuck with Crita?
Were you at some point of season one tempted to include classic evil warriors from MOTU to join the mutants ? If so which was first on your mind?
By the way thanks for taking the time to answer all these questions.
Any chance once you get the DVDs you could do a sort of directors commentary as you watch them, either by print or podcast? That would be cool to see.
RobCaptain Picard:So...five card stud, nothing wild...and the sky's the limit.
Now, Swift Wind, the answer is that Kayo, Nocturna and Vizar came in the second wave of action figures from Mattel and I was asked not to develop them too strongly in the early episodes until the second wave was released. I did know of all the figures that would be eventually released because I saw all the prototypes in the first presentation meeting. And I was told I could introduce them when I wished if I felt their presence was truly vital to a particular episode. However, they did ask that I emphasize the figures that were released in the first wave first, and I felt that was a reasonable request.
Another character specific question, about Darius. That character was supposed to be in the first wave of figures, and was shown on the back of the cards. He was also prominently featured in early NA materials, like the UK Annuals... He was portrayed as the leader of the Galactic Guardians, and a very important character, a cross between Man-At-Arms and King Randor...
Yet, he never appeared in the cartoon.
Was Darius ever intended to be introduced in the series, of did Mattel just cancelled the figure, therefore not allowing the character to be used ?
Did Mattel ever give you a reason why they cancelled the figure/character ?
Seriously, the feeling was that we had so very many of our new characters to service that harking back to characters from Eternia would cut into time that we needed to spend on our new heroes and villains -- and there were already plenty of them. As noted on another post, we had a large list of villains and heroes and just ordinary folks from Primus. In a half-hour script you've only got about thirty-two pages to tell your story. There's action, adventure, shifts from one location to another and maybe eight-to-ten -- or more -- characters in a single episode. So every page is precious to a writer. You have to carefully pick and choose who you're going to use and you'd better have a pretty compelling reason for using them -- i.e., moving the dramatic thrust of the episode along -- rather than just trotting them out because you think it would be fun.
Now I certainly liked the episode with Teela in it and I thought it was very cool to bring her in. But we just didn't have the time to do that over and over. Plus creating a device for bringing Eternia's characters to Primus was dicey at best. So by and large we stayed away from that.
As for Teela's look, I had nothing to do with the artwork. A lot of fans have commented about her hair, etc., but it was really an artistic issue handled by the animation studio. They obviously put their own interpretation into it, but the reality is that charatcers do change over time. (I saw ROCKY BALBOA last night and boy has he changed!) So let's put it down to that.
No question but that if there was a Season 2 we would have gone to a sword and sorcery feel because we were going back to Eternia and it would have be en appropriate there. Obviously, Primus was a different world and it didn't fit there. I surely would have had the sword and sorcery aspects in Season 2, and it would have been a lot of fun to see the Mutants dealing with that.
I'm not being contrary but there are clear similiarities between the NA Teela and She-ra.
Teela originally did have striking red hair.
***Please read and follow the forum rules about back-to-back posting***
Mattel did an excellent job of keeping me in the loop on what was happening with the toy-line. That was primarily because I had a strong relationship with Kaaren Lee Brown (who is presently a V.P. at DIC) and Debra Galliani, the two executives who served as liaison between Toy and Television. We had worked together on many projects in the past, so we were already on the same page when we began work in N/A. I had great respect for their abilities -- and for their championing writers -- and I believe they were comfortable with my track record in the industry. From my beginning in children's entertainment, Kaaren and Debra, along with Lori Crawford at DIC, were influential in providing me with opportunities to develop my career. entertainment industry.
As for the reference to The Great One, I have to use a Watergate line: "I don't recall at this point in time." (And here I used to think Haldeman, Erlichman, Mitchell & Dean were just bs'ing us. Now I can relate. )
However, if you'll tell me which episode it was in, I'll watch it and hopefully that will loosen my rusted file drawer. I promise I'll get back to you on it.
My questions
1. Why didn't Skeletor recognize Adam as Prince Adam from Eternia? They were face to face in "Adam's Adventure".
2. Teela got to make an appearance -- was it hard to convince Mattel to use a "classic" Masters character? Did Mattel have strict rules about not utilizing any characters from the classic line?
Just released EPISODE 60 - Ten Year Anniversary of Masters Cast!
The He-Man & She-Ra Podcast at www.masterscast.com
I hope to see you at Power-Con 2017!
As for the Teela appearance, that was also an episode I was not involved in, but from my side at no point did Mattel say, "You can't use any of the MOTU or POP characters. On the other hand, it was clear that they did want to service the new characters that they had invested heavily in and whenever you have an old character in an episode it takes away time from servicing the new ones.
The Running of the Herd is one of my favorite episodes. I don't recall the reference, but I do know that I have a tendency to attempt to inject elements of theism into most of my work, when appropriate -- not so much because I am personally a religious person (which I am), but because it seems to me that most cultures on Earth, from Chinese to Greeks and Romans to us, have theism as one of their pillars. So it makes sense to me that other worlds will also have that element in them.
On the other hand, the reference could have been to a military leader. As I said, I'll take a look at it and see if it jogs my memory.
My mistake. I see thgat you were referring to There's Gems in Those Hills. That episode had the Gleanons who, along with the Mites, were one of my favorite sub-characters. My recollection now is that the reference was to a military leader.

First I just want to say I've been a fan of the series since its debut and I was wanting to know were there any ideas or stories you had in mind for the mutants or the galactic guardians? One or two of the mutants going solo like a Karatti/Hoove story. To me those guys were like the Webstor/Kobra Kahn team, or background stories on particular guardians. I would have loved to see a Kayo or Artilla story.
I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve. As for me, I'm down with a pretty severe case of food poisoning, which is an ironic way to kick off the year for someone who completely abstains from alcohol!
Anyway, kindly be patient and give me a couple of days to get back on my feet. Then I'll return to the questions.
Hiya... This is awesome!
I posted this in the talk back thread but I'll just leave that there for fan speculation which is always interesting and ask you about it here.
In the Ultimate challenge He-man appears in that statue....how did he get there? Can he teleport now is that whats going on? ALSO and this is just weird...All through the series up till now He-man has short hair adam has long and in the beginning of this ep thats the way it is.. but then at the end not only does he have long hair and a pony tail but they make a point of SHOWING us that he does a highlight that its a change... so... I don't get it... first of all why does he have long hair now... and how
Also He-man has a lot of new abilities in the show.... what brought you to that choice... just to give him more sci fi stuff? how do you think he acquired these abilities? The ones with his sword and just his own new abilities? Would he still have these abilities on Eternia... or does he have them because he is on primus... what I mean by that is in season two when he was to go back does his sword still shoot lasers!!! :-)
I should revise ...IS PRIMUS ETERNIA!? they never state that it isn't... usually they just talk about going into the future... I always assumes primus was eternia but SO far in the future its changed completely.
Check me out: www.patrickireland.net
First, I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the cartoon. I have enjoyed all the original MOTU DVD releases, but it was all material I had seen before, so other than the interviews on the last disk of each set, there was nothing new, and I mainly enjoyed the sets just for nostalgia.
However, I wasn't aware of the New Adventures cartoon until it was almost at the end of its run. So I have probably only seen about 30 of the 65 episodes. This set is particularly enjoyable for me because I get the nostalgia of having seen some of the episodes back when I was a kid, but also I get to see episodes that are brand new to me. And Skeletor delivers some lines that are laugh out loud funny.
My questions are:
1- Who is supposed to be the love interest for He-Man? Is it Mara or Drisee?
2- Flogg is clearly the boss. Skeletor is the brains behind the boss. But is there a next in command? It seems like Hoove gets put in charge a couple of times.
3- I just watched a 5-part story where the Mutants take over Primus. (EXCELLENT STORY, BTW) They used little creatures who turned into monsters, which is similar to a G.I.Joe cartoon where Cobra used that plan to take over a space station. Did you have certain shows or movies that inspired you while writing this series?
Hope you feel better from your food poisoning soon.
(BTW, I'm still a bit off center from this food poisoning. Not a fun deal, I can tell you that!)
The Gleanons and the Mites were my own creation. One of the great things about working with Mattel and Mark Taylor -- then at Jetlag, now running Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank -- was that they gave me so much creative latitude in so many areas. And one of the places they really did this was in allowing me to create sub-characters even though those characters would never appear as action figures in the toy-line. Of course you always have to be careful about dancing in new characters because it takes away time from your main cast. But to do it once in a while is fun and I think Mark and Mattel got a grin from it.
I LOVED the Gleanons and the Mites.
As for your question about Skeletor aligning himself with the Mutants or Crita, that's a tough one. For sheer firepower and numbers, he'd have to lean toward the mutants. But for brains, wile and...hmmmm...he'd ben inclined toward Crita. (I know I would. ) Also, remember that, in my proposal for Season Two, I had a triumverate of females in charge of Eternia, so I think Skeletor would wisely want Crita's female input. If I know Skelly, I think he'd try to work the best of both worlds, using the mutants as his henchmen and Crita as his second-in-command, at the same time playing one faction off against the other so neither gets too comfortable. However, if I was in his place and I had to make a definite choice of one over the other, I'd have to go for Crita. But then I've always been drawn to powerful, intelligent, confident women -- all of which adds up to 'hot' in my book, Lucy Lui and my Irish wife being prime examples. I do believe that this is something Skeletor and I have in common, so there you have it.
I'm a big fan of the Gleanons and the Mites, though I thought the Mites looked quite odd in their animated form, I loved the Gleanons and thought the way that whole storyline played out, with Mara and Crita involved, was great. Clearly the folks at Mattel liked them too, as they turned them into figures.
There was certainly a temptation to use some of the classic MOTU characters. There were a number of reasons, however, that I chose not to. First, we were trying to distance ourselves from the original as much as possible. A lot of fans have asked why we didn't take along Orko or Man-at-Arms and others. Part of it was a business decision on Mattel's part. You must remember that they are primarily toy-makers and they make their living off of selling toys. So much of what they do is seen through that filter. Their feeling was that the original toy-line was pretty much spent out -- i.e., people had collected as many of the figures as they were going to collect. You don't need twenty Man-at-Arms for instance. So they wanted to introduce all new characters.
Now I come from a business background, was an executive in my family's business before I devoted myself exclusively to writing. So I understand things from a business perspective, and I understood and respected their point of view. I will point out, as I said in a previous post, that they gave me a great deal of creative latitude and I believe it's commendable that a toy company would allow a writer to develop sub-characters that would never see light of day just because he felt they could contribute to the dramatic thrust of the series. And I must give a well-deserved nod to then-Mattel exec Kaaren Lee Brown for allowing me to do that. Kaaren had a great understanding of writers and the creative process, and I believe any writer who worked with her -- and is working with her now in her position at DIC -- is fortunate, indeed.
But there was another factor at play in my staying away from the classic MOTU characters. Again, I know I've said this before, but you only have about 32 pages in a half-hour script. So any time you bring in characters that are not your primary characters -- and there were PLENTY of primary characters in N/A -- you are taking time away from those main characters.
Too, I was planning on our returning to Eternia in Season Two, so I figured there would be plenty of time to embrace those characters at that point. Which goes to show, things don't always work out the way you hope they will.
People instead of considering it MOTU cannon felt betrayed. This is not my personal opinion cause I think you made a tremendous job with it and it most've been very hard to please everyone at the time specially since Mattel wanted to change the concept so drastically. I consider it MOTU canon because you respected many aspects of the classic while giving us the New adventures that needed to be told.
I am sorry but I am going to throw just another question at you.
This is regarding the Power Sword, in NA it got new powers never seen before in the classic series and was turned it into a better weapon. Was this your idea or Mattel suggested it?
Thanks again Jack!!

CHARLEROI – Prosecutors Thursday withdrew a felony count of risking a catastrophe against a Charleroi Area High School senior accused of making pipe bombs in his Speers home.
The decision was reached when Ryan Pfrogner, 18, appeared in district court for a preliminary hearing and, instead, waived his case to trial in Washington County Court, a court official said.
"He's a great kid," Charleroi Area Superintendent Brad Ferko said as he left the office of District Judge Larry Hopkins. "He made a stupid mistake,"
Pfrogner is free on $50,000 bond following his arrest Jan. 3 on charges filed by Charleroi Regional police after investigators found two small PVC pipe bombs and bomb-making materials Nov. 20 in his bedroom at 136 River St. Police searched his residence following allegations that he brought a pipe bomb to school that month and left it in the trunk of his car parked in the student lot.
The Washington County district attorney's office withdrew charges police filed involving taking a weapon onto school property because there was no evidence to support that allegation.
Pfrogner still faces charges of making offensive weapons and reckless endangerment, court records show.

Nikon D4 reviewThursday March 15 2012 Sensor Review
Nikon D4: The best Full-Frame overall score ever measured on DxOMark
The sensor results for the Nikon D4 are now available, and they do not disappoint!
- With a DxOMark Overall score of 89, the Nikon D4 surpasses the next-best Full-Frame sensor by just one little point, the now second-place Nikon D3x.
- The D4's Low-Light ISO score of 2965 is barely 0.15 stop less than that of the best sensor analyzed up until now (the Nikon D3s).
- Its Portrait (24.7) and Landscape (13.1) scores, while not exceptional, are still very high-level.
Nikon D4: a real success for Nikon
So the D4 is a big success for Nikon, who has succeeded in placing 4 its cameras among the top 10 best DxOMark sensor scores. Only Phase One is ahead with its high-resolution but expensive Phase One IQ 180.
The DxOMark Overall score is derived from three different "use case" scores — Portrait, Landscape, and Sports. These three scores let you get a better look at the specific characteristics of each sensor.
Portrait: 24.7 bits (tied for 4th overall; best Full-Frame score)
For the Portrait score, we analyzed the sensor's ability to provide vivid, varied, and accurate colors under good lighting conditions (i.e., studio). The D4's score is 24.7 bits — a remarkable score and identical to that achieved by the Nikon D3x. Only certain medium-format cameras (e.g., Phase One IQ 180 and P65 Plus) do better. This score is interesting particularly for those who take photographs under studio conditions without lighting constraints and who want optimal color rendering. The Nikon D4 can respond to the demand for good color, but its 16 Mpix sensor will be certainly limiting for this kind of use. — Good thing, since the D4 isn't really intended for portrait photographers, who really should wait for the test results of the Nikon D800, which with its much better resolution perhaps comes a little closer to the best sensor in this area, the Phase One IQ 180's.
Landscape: 13.1 EV (11th place)
For the Landscape score, it's only the black and white dynamic range that counts — specifically, the maximum dynamic range that the sensor will be able to capture under good lighting conditions. This score will interest aficionados of landscape photos and strong contrasts. The Nikon D4 achieves 13.1: no problem here, high-contrast images (sunsets or back-lit, for example) can be shot with a maximum of details both for shadows and highlights. Still, the results are a bit disappointing: we expected much better from the new Full-Frame sensors. As things stand, the 16Mpix Sony APS-C sensor (in the Pentax K5 and the Nikon D7000) stays way ahead — nearly 1 stop better.
Sport: 2965 (2nd place)
The Sport score (alias Low-Light ISO score) lets you know how far you can go vis-à-vis ISO without compromising on image quality. This is the score we were particularly anxious to measure for the Nikon D4: its predecessor, the D3s, had blasted by its competitors with a dizzying score of 3253. Before this new camera appeared, Nikon already had the 3 best scores in this category for three cameras equipped with members of the same sensor family (the Nikon D3, D3s, and D700). The first non-Nikon camera in this category is the 5D Mark II, whose score equates to about 1 stop less (1815).
The Nikon D4 lives up to our expectations with a Low-Light ISO score of 2965, or roughly the same score as the D3s (0.15 stop difference).
ISO 204800: SNR = 11.6dB, DR = 5.04 EV, Color sensitivity: 9.4 bits
No surprise here, the extreme 204,800 ISO will be a real challenge to handle even for the best raw converters.
Nikon D4 vs Nikon D3s: Progress?
The complete comparison is available here: Nikon D4 vs Nikon D3s
For everything else that does not relate to sensor test results, see our previously-published Nikon D4 preview that lists all of the improvements and new features that the Nikon D4 brings with it with respect to the Nikon D3s.
The Nikon D4's DxOMark sensor test score is indisputable:
Seven points better for the Overall score, and 1 stop better each for Portrait and Landscape, with an almost identical score for the Sport use case. The D4 is a real evolution — its new Full-Frame 16 Mpix sensor keeps all its promises. It succeeds in correcting certain weaknesses of the D3s (notably those affecting its Portrait scores).
Looking at the graphs a bit more closely, with the normalized SNR curves superimposed:
No improvement in terms of quantum efficiency — just a real, additional ISO in the lower realms (i.e., ISO 100) that will allow users to take full advantage of the sensor in good lighting conditions.
In terms of dynamic range, the Nikon D4 outperforms the D3s, especially for low ISO.
One easily gains 1 stop at ISO 200. Nikon has significantly improved its noise management in shadows — at least at ISO 200.
It's the same story for color sensitivity— improvements are mainly up to ISO 800.
In sum, this new 16 Mpix sensor brings with it some real improvements for low ISO (from 100 to 800). As for high ISO, its measurements are comparable to the Nikon D3s's, which remains simply the best sensor in this area.
Nikon D4 vs Pentax K5 vs Nikon D7000
The comparison is available here: Nikon D4 vs Pentax K5 vs Nikon D7000
Just a note about the management of dynamic range for the Nikon D4: Even if the results are higher, we don't reach the same heights as with the Pentax K5 and Nikon D7000.
However, at least for the moment, this APS-C sensor seems to be unequaled in terms of noise in shadows for low ISO, even taking into account the D4's remarkable behavior.
Nikon D4 vs Canon EOS 1Dx
To end, here is the comparison that everyone's been waiting for: Nikon D4 vs Canon EOS 1D-X.
We will have to wait a little while longer before drawing any hard and fast final conclusions. Nikon has set the bar high, but no doubt Canon's first full-frame camera will provide a worthy response.

Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED on D4

This a comment for this page on the website
Am I reading wrong, or does DxOMark list two different scores for the Nikon AF-S VR 105mm f/2.8G IE-ED on the D4? One one page the score appears to be 35 and on another 27. See:

Re: Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED on D4
You are not reading wrong! Here is the explanation: we changed the dxomark and sharpness scoring system last December (for further information you can have a look at DxOMark's Perceptual Megapixel on this page: www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/Looking-for-new-photo-gear-DxOMark-s-Perceptual-Megapixel-can-help-you).
For this reason, previous reviews using the old scoring system are now indicated with a banner. This one was actually missing but that should be fixed soon.
Sorry for that!
ISO performance
but this is a conspiracy against DxO ....... still denied its results ....
another denial
Opss...... another site that belies the DxO dynamic range:
When you are not sincere
if you click here, and understand Italian, you can see that your assessment of the noise and dynamic range is too sbilanciat in favor of NIKON.
In Reala is better the Canon ......

What a joke!
I agree with avicenna. The 70-200 II came out in 2009 and you haven't had a chance to get your hands on one?? Stop comparing lenses that cost orders of magnitude more or less than others, and please check other sites before you recommend a 20 year old lens over a brand new one that all other sites consider improved (50 f/1.8s). You probably have a bad copy if your tests are against all other recommendations!

Missing newer lenses for comparison

This a comment for this page on the website

You guys need to catch up on lens reviews before you post lens recommendation articles...
Some of the lenses you recommend are so old you can't even BUY them anymore. Many sections completely ignore newer lenses that are far superior to the old versions (Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-S for example), just because you haven't reviewed them.
You are doing a disservice to your readers.
Lenses for sports and wildlife photographers
> where is the Nikon 70-200 VR II f/2.8 and the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8
Lens suggestions for portrait photographers
> where is the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-D and Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-S
Fixed Prime Lens Recommendation
> where is the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-S - it should outperform the older AF-D version
The ultimate wide-angle lens for landscape photographers
> THIS is the worst. How can you compare a 24mm f/1.4, a 20mm f/2.8 that costs 1/4 of the price, and a manual-focus 14mm!!! Especially the 14mm, which is 40% wider of an angle than the 24mm!
> You should have compared the Nikon 24mm f/1.4 versus the newer Nikon 28mm f/1.8 and the older Nikon 28mm f/1.4 AF-D.
> Or how about the Nikon 28mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8 and 20mm f/2.8 for a budget prime shootout?
Micro lens recommendation
> Where's the new version - the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 OS. You can't even BUY the old version anymore!
> What about the Tokina 100mm macro? Should have been a 4-way comparison of Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina lenses.

D4 vs D800
Hi to all,
Just thought I would share my opinion on the D4 and D800. It might help some of you guys out.
I owned a D3s and D300 and now use the D4 and D800 for weddings, model shoots and urban photography.
First I would like to state that the D4 is just the best camera I ever owned. It is really superb. I also shot with Canon (5D mkII) but the Nikon models just feel better when holding them. When it comes to overall image quality I would just as easily use a Canon camera. Just to point out I am not one of those guys who loves to bash the other brand :) Nikon or Canon are both great camera manufactures but I just prefer Nikon.
On all camera's I use a 14-24 2.8, 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8. So there was no difference regarding lenses.
The picture quality of the D800 and D4 are in my opinion pretty much the same. The higher resolution of the D800 makes reducing noise somewhat easier and brings out a little more detail.
The D4 however is much better build. I find the D800 more plastic and it feels somewhat cheap.
But when it comes to model shoots the higher resolution is just great to have.
During a wedding I use the D4 for the make-up shots, ceremony, diner and party. But for the bridal shoot I use the D800 for 90% off the time. When I need higher ISO's I drop the D800 and go back to my D4.
The D4 is fast while focussing and has a better ISO performance than the D3s. Most say that the ISO performance of the D3s and D4 are the same but that is not true. I can go up to ISO 10000 on my D4 and get the same quality as when I shot at ISO 6400 on my D3s. For my D800 and Canon 5D MKII I won't go higher than ISO 3200. And on my D300 I really didn't go any higher than ISO 1200. Just to point out that I am really picky when it comes to noise.
The battery life of the D4 is also better than some say. I shoot around 1700 images during a wedding (starting at 8:00 AM till 1:00 AM) and still have 3 bars left.
I don't do video so I can't say if Canon does a better job on this part.
In my opinion the D4 is the best camera to have.
If you can afford it, go for it. I sold my D3s and paid a lot extra for the D4 and find the better focus (in the dark), higher resolution (for cropping) and better ISO performance are worth the money. For all types of photography in which you need a fast focussing monster camera this would be the one.
When doing solely model shoots or urban photography the D800 would be the best choice because of the higher resolution.
For nature photography go for the D800E.
If you don't need the higher resolution and don't have the cash for a D4, then buy a second hand D3s. You can buy one for around 3000 euro's which is the same price as a D800. But the D3s is much better build. And the ISO performance of a D3s is so much better than on a D800.
Hope this will help some of you decide.

Why use old lenses?
Hi Just have a question: Why do you use old lenses for the tests? There is a BIG difference between the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED and the newer version 70-200mm II.

Sony pro relfex?
Probably not, its more mirrorless even tho mirror is still there, but its EVF based camera. Sony wont make dSLR in future. Cause of that I doubt they will match D800, there will be loss of SNR due half-silvered mirror if I dont count that one which will be caused by different CFA and Sony usuall approach "colors over everything" (which is why I like them :). Plus D3x didnt performed like A900 either (cause Nikon is pretty good in squeezing Sony chips). Tho as main supplier for Nikon, they actually profit either if Nikon wins.
Im quite interested in what should be "lower" Sony model with 24 mpix FF (revised or new chip supposedly). Imagine 36 mpix A99 priced around D800, then decent 24 mpix FF priced quite a bit lower.. :D

Thinking about trying out for a reality show, but not sure you're ready to take the plunge for your 15 seconds of fame? Draw some inspiration from local grill-master Clint Cantwell, who sent in his audition tape for "Grill It! With Bobby Flay." Cantwell shared with The Post the pressures of getting a cooking segment right in one take and dealing with surprise guest stars:
"Hey Bobby, this is Clint coming at you from the barbecue capital of New York -- Garden City -- home of Smoke In Da Eye competition barbecue team, winners of the 2007 New York State Grilling Championship." A mouthful, huh? Try it in one take!
(story continues here)
Sunday, May 03, 2009"Clint Cantwell, a New York state barbecue champion, says he is impressed with the Bubba Keg's portability and performance , but worried about its long-term viability. "I'd like to see how it holds up to the elements," Cantwell said. "What happens if you scratch the protective coating on the steel? I'd worry about rust."
(CNN) -- Of all the great sports of summer, only one leaves competitors covered with sauce, smelling like smoke and clutching trophies with charcoal under their fingernails.
Barbecue -- the staple of gatherings with friends and family on hot, lazy days -- has become serious business for amateur cooks who want to prove nobody does it better.
Not content to keep their skills confined to backyards, these competitive foodies hit the road loaded up with meat, equipment and secret recipes to challenge like-minded aficionados in hundreds of barbecue competitions each year.
"I don't play golf, I don't really have any other hobbies, so I own a lot of grills and smokers, and this is my fun," said iReporter Clint Cantwell of Garden City, New York.
Cantwell, 39, is the founder of the Smoke In Da Eye team and winner of last year's New York State BBQ Championship. (for the entire story click here)

When Mary Anne MacFarlane opened the front door of her South Strabane Township home to let her two dogs outside Monday, her cat, Milo, strolled in from outside.
While that might not seem out of the ordinary, MacFarlane had not seen the orange tabby since the big snow during the first weekend of February three years ago.
"It was like he never left," MacFarlane said. "He went up the stairs to the kitchen and straight for his food bowl. I kept thinking it couldn't possibly be Milo."
MacFarlane called her 12-year-old daughter, Morgan, who was visiting at a friend's house.
"I told her that she might want to come home," MacFarlane said.
During the storm three years ago, MacFarlane was shoveling out her car, and Milo, who prefers to handle his "business" outside as opposed to using a litter box, was out with her. When she went to go back inside the house, she couldn't find the cat.
"I thought he was gone," she said.
MacFarlane and her family spent several days at a motel after losing heat during the storm.
"I kept coming back and checking for him," MacFarlane said. "We put posted fliers around the neighborhood and asked neighbors if they had seen him. Every time Morgan saw an orange tabby, she'd go running after it."
The family is sure the cat is Milo. The cat had a scar on his left ear from a fight he had while a kitten. He also has little spots on his nose. And he remembered his name, as well as the location of his food dish.
MacFarlane said she had taken in Milo's pregnant mother. After the kittens were born and weaned, MacFarlane took the mom to Washington Area Humane Society and the kittens to Wet Pets for adoption.
"But they wouldn't take Milo because he had some drainage in his eye," MacFarlane said. "So we kept him."
Wherever he has been the past three years, Milo has been well cared for, MacFarlane said. He weighs more than when he disappeared.
A few months ago, MacFarlane agreed that her daughter could have a kitten for her birthday. The gray female was named Miley, in honor of Milo. While Milo likes Miley, the feeling, at least initially, has not been mutual.
"I wish he could tell me where he has been. I'd like to find out where he has been for the last three years," MacFarlane said. "We've been watching so he doesn't go outside. I think he is destined to be here. If he does go out, I think I'll attach a note to his collar in case he goes back to where he had been staying."

Rueben Brock and Jonathan Miles II have been friends since childhood.
Their lives have taken different paths. Brock is an artist and educator and has even written a book, "A Young Man's Wisdom." Miles chose a career in law enforcement, now working as a North Strabane Township police officer after spending a few years with the Washington police department. But both would likely tell you that their most important job is that of dad.
So when Brock posted on Facebook about his 8-year-old son's fear of police officers a few months ago, his lifelong friend offered to help.
"I sent a message to him that I'd love to try and change his son's perception of police," Miles said.
"It was sad to see," Brock said of the trepidation shown by his son, Rueben Brock II, toward officers. "You tend to see police as an ally, a friend."
"But despite my best efforts, he was still afraid," he added. "So Jon offered to help."
Young Rueben spent part of a Saturday afternoon with Miles and other officers on his shift. The boy even got to talk on the radio with 911 dispatchers. He also got to visit the fire department and see a LifeFlight emergency helicopter.
"I love dealing with kids, especially now that I am a parent," Miles said. "I enjoy interacting with them."
During the boy's visit, Miles said he tried to tell him about the effect of a police officer on a child's life and why officers do certain things.
"I tried to tell him not to be afraid and that officers are really there to help people," Miles added. "I tried to share with him the good and honor of this career. I wanted to show him the personal side."
Unfortunately, Miles said, children have to interact with police during some awful situations.
"It breaks my heart every time," he said. "We just want to make the world a better place. We are in a unique career that allows us to have a positive influence on people who deserve it."
Miles said he tries to reach out to children. It is not unusual to find him sitting at a lunch table with Canon-McMillan students. He usually has some stickers in his pocket to hand out to youngsters.
The weekend after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut, Miles worked on a plan to improve safety at district schools.
Brock, who lost his own father when he was 7, said it upsets him when he hears people tell their children that they better be good or the police are going to come get them.
"That scares kids, and the fear trickles into their subconscious," Brock said. "What Jon did for my son was great. I like to think my son now thinks differently when he sees an officer."
Miles said educating the public and helping with public relations is a facet of the job he enjoys.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Rueben," Miles said. "I hope I made a difference."

The superintendent of the Burgettstown School District said Wednesday night she will be determining whether procedure was followed earlier in the day after two buses carrying elementary school children collided on Route 18 (South Main Street.)
McDonald police said Washington County 911 apparently was not contacted after the two buses traveling southbound collided about 3:45 p.m. after leaving Burgettstown Elementary Center. Initial reports indicate about a dozen children were taken for treatment, including several to the Weirton (W.Va.) Medical Center. About five dozen students in kindergarten through fifth grade were on the two buses.
"We received a third party call of debris on the road that appeared to have come from a school bus," said McDonald Officer Jordan Faust, who is investigating the crash with Officer Jennifer Dempsey. "Then we got a call from an operator at Wally's Towing who had towed one of the buses. Thankfully, he let us know."
Faust said the driver of one bus, Nancy Halling, 64, of Burgettstown, had stopped for traffic. The driver of the other bus, Gretchen Rheinlander, 61, of Burgettstown, told police she looked in her rearview mirror to see if a student that needed to be dropped off was on the bus.
"When she looked back, she was not able to stop before colliding with the other bus," Faust said.
The impact shattered the glass on the bottom panel of the emergency door of the front bus. The radiator on the second bus was damaged. The bus has heavy front-end damage and was disabled.
"Neither driver contacted 911," Faust said. "They contacted their supervisor, who also did not contact 911."
The disabled bus was left in the parking lot of a nearby business and the children were loaded into another bus, Faust said. The bus with the damaged rear door continued after the glass was swept out and the children moved closer to the front.
Both bus drivers and their supervisor have been cooperative in the investigation, police said.
School district Superintendent Deborah Jackson said she could not verify whether 911 had been called. The students who sought medical treatment were taken as a precaution. She said she has not met with police.
"I have spent the night checking on the welfare of the children," Jackson said. "I can't verify whether 911 was called. But I absolutely will be checking to see if procedures were followed."
Police are continuing their investigation. Police ask that anyone who might have witnessed the crash or who had students on either bus to call them at 724-926-2105.

CASSIBER - The Way it Was
[or order the full BOX still at �65 and get this now] These are great recordings that paint the best � and most devil-take-the-hindmost � picture of this extraordinary, groundbreaking band. The sound is exemplary and the music constantly thinks around corners. Plus you have all the complexity and serendipity of live interaction and spontaneous rearrangement; you can hear the band is having a good time, even when some of the sounds seem to come out of nowhere. It�s a radical programme, all the more so for its shifts between organised noise, rhythmical intensity, lyricism, cultural debris and semantic complexity. OK I�m biased, but when I finished putting this together it was like finishing a new Cassiber CD and, arguably, the best of them. You really get a picture of what the group was made of. There�s also the pleasure of guests Dietmar Diesner and Rene Lussier on two tracks. This release will be included in the Cassiber Box, which is almost there but probably won�t be ready before the end of the year. All new and current subscribers to the box will get this CD now. But if you buy the CD alone, you�ll still be able to get the box without it, a little cheaper, later.

Canada's French cultural heritage informs every aspect of Quebec life - including the skiing. The narrow, cobbled streets and brightly painted buildings of Tremblant give this town a delightful Gallic feel.
A holiday in this picturesque Laurentian Mountain town is the closest you will get to European-style skiing in North America. Tremblant is Eastern Canada's most popular ski resort. Although it offers a smaller piste area than some of the Western resorts, it has a genuine appeal to all levels of skier and snowboarder. The spread of terrain across Tremblant's four skiing areas, Versant Sud, Versant Nord, Versant Soleil and Edge offer a good variety for even the keenest skiers. The extensive lifts and excellent snowmaking mean that conditions stay good throughout the season. In addition, Tremblant's three large terrain parks, cross-country skiing and good childcare facilities give the resort a great all-round appeal.
Mont Tremblant is 140 km (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes transfer) from Montreal airport.
Tremblant has the superb, two-acre, Équilibre area dedicated to absolute beginner skiers and snowboarders. Here you will be able to master the basics with the assistance of the highly rated instructors. There are 16 easier green pistes to take advantage of as you progress. Many of the easiest ones are located in the Versant Sud area.
Both Versant Nord and Sud offer a good selection of blue runs through the trees and on the groomed slopes. The former faces the sun during the morning, whilst the latter is in the sunshine in the afternoon. Tremblant has 31 intermediate ski runs overall, whilst some of the easier black runs might be tempting for the more experienced intermediate.
More than half of the trails in Tremblant are graded black or double black. Advanced skiers will enjoy the variety of steep and moguled runs across the four areas, with Edge in particular offering stiff challenges. For snowboarders there are 40 acres of ramps, jumps and rails across three separate terrain parks, the largest being Gravité. Freestyle skiers and snowboarders will also enjoy the Olympic calibre super-pipe.
Average temperatures in Tremblant can fall as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius during January and February. It is worth keeping this in mind if you are travelling with young children. Aside from that, the tuition and childcare facilities are excellent here. Children from age 1 to 11 can be cared for until 9.30 pm and the ski school has small classes for children aged from 3 to 12 years old.
The pretty streets and colourful buildings of Tremblant make a truly beautiful setting for a skiing holiday. The French influence is reflected in the cafes, creperies and stylish designer clothing boutiques of the traffic-free centre. There is a good variety of different cuisine to sample in the restaurants of Tremblant - notably Mexican, Italian and, of course, French. Later in the evening, the main square has a great atmosphere - often showcasing live music. Café d'Époque, le Petit Caribou and La Forge are all popular bars in which to while away the evening in.

The economy's tanking. Jobs are disappearing right and left. The national debt clock had to add a digit last year. So why is a small business focused on full-body cleansing, Kundalini yoga, and raw, organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free snacks doing well—nay, thriving?
Deva Khalsa theorizes that as people feel like the economy, the country and their lives are spiraling out of control, they want to take charge of one of the few things they can dictate entirely: What goes into their bodies.
Deva is president of Food On Purpose, a Santa Fe business that is gaining a foothold as a leading manufacturer of raw, unprocessed snack foods. In a short amount of time (the brand was officially launched in March 2008), Food On Purpose's snacks have shot to the top of the popularity heap in Santa Fe, and the company has caught the eye of Whole Foods Market. Whole Foods already stocks FOP in all its New Mexico stores and will soon start carrying FOP products in all its Rocky Mountain region stores.
The company started as The Cleanse of Santa Fe, a diet, lifestyle and yoga center that specializes in take-home kits that amount to "detox for dummies" (baggies of vitamins numbered by the day, a cookbook divided into phases, precisely as many tea bags as you need for the cleanse, etc.). The cleanse program is overseen by Kartar Singh Khalsa, Deva's husband and a doctor of Oriental medicine. While the cleanse kits sold well and remain a popular product, customers wanted more.
It's easier to designate 10 days to detox (which includes yoga practices, Ayurvedic herbs and other supplements) than it is to integrate raw, unprocessed foods into everyday life. Though the cleanse kits come with a special cookbook penned by Deva, clients don't necessarily have time to whip up a batch of celery soup to take to work. Deva came up with Food On Purpose, a line of unprocessed, raw snacks that fit conveniently in a desk drawer or yoga bag to make it easier for folks to integrate raw foods into their diets.
Cited benefits to raw eating—perhaps the reasons for its rising popularity of this sort of eating—include improved digestion (the food's natural enzymes are not broken down by cooking), weight loss (because, let's face it, most of us could stand to shed a few pounds) and a diet with little to no saturated fats.
While there are many benefits to eating a raw diet, there also are numerous myths and misunderstandings about what "raw" actually means. A slab of cool pink tuna and a few grapes is raw, yes, but a raw diet is more than just uncooked foods. And, for the record, not all raw food has to be cold; many enzymes in food tend to deactivate between 104 and 114 degrees Fahrenheit, so anything heated up under that range is still considered raw.
In addition, someone on a "raw diet" doesn't necessarily have to eat 100 percent raw foods; many raw diets include 75 to 90 percent raw foods (so if you just can't give up the birthday cake, never fear). The Khalsas maintain that while a mostly raw diet is the healthiest option, integrating even a few raw meals a week—or, if you can't even swing that, just a few raw ingredients per day—can spur a significant health improvement.
Deva aims more for quality than quantity. Indeed, the small company based in the Triangle District has among its immediate merchandising concerns precisely how such a small group of people will be able to churn out enough snacks to stock the entire Rocky Mountain region's worth of Whole Foods. In addition to its current obligation to New Mexico Whole Foods stores, Food On Purpose also provides its products to Body (333 W. Cordova Road, 986-0362), La Montañita Co-op (913 W. Alameda St., 984-2852), Vitamin Cottage (3328 Cerrillos Road, 474-0111) and online at thecleanse.com.
Even just the process of making the company's popular Flaxies flaxseed crackers takes days on end. Does $6 sound like a lot of money for a few little flatbreads? It's actually downright cheap when you consider that each one was spread out by hand (in Española, where the products are manufactured) and dried carefully for days. Don't feel like buying your own flaxseed and soaking and sprouting it yourself? That's exactly what FOP does for you.
Of course one can't live off Flaxies and FOP's Granola in the Raw alone. When it comes to spreading the word on healthy eating, the Khalsas want to reach everyone, including—and perhaps especially—low-income families. To this end, Deva offers educational sessions to the public in which she suggests easy ways to incorporate healthier foods into everyday eating life.
The easiest way, of course, is fresh produce. Bring an apple to work in the morning or slice up a cucumber to put on a hamburger; it's a start. If prospects like a dehydrator, a juicer and home-sprouted wheat germ are too intimidating, just get ahold of some celery.
The philosophy behind FOP's raw snacks is all well and good, and I can appreciate a company that looks at the big picture when it comes to health. But the big question remains: How do these things taste?
With visions of cardboardy granola bars dancing in my head, I decide to try a Choco Roonie raw macaroon. "Decadent chocolate and coconut bliss!" the package proclaims. Investigating the ingredients, the first one is agave nectar. OK, that's promising—if nothing else, this little brown sphere will be sweet. Upon biting into the chocolatey ball, I find it isn't merely sweet: It's a thick, hefty, compact piece of semisweet bliss. It sticks to the mouth as would a corn-syrup-laden candy but, of course, there is no high-fructose anything in sight.
Now I'm all about eating healthy food when I can, but when I get hungry, I get hungry. Accordingly, when I eat, I eat like I mean it. We're talking half a pound of pasta in a sitting. A completely clean steering-wheel-sized plate at Cowgirl BBQ. Not a crumb of burger nor potato left over at Bobcat Bite. I mean business.
Indeed, after the first bite I am convinced I could eat all six Choco Roonies in the bag; but by the time I finish the entire Roonie, I am full.
The Roonie is probably one-twentieth the size of my average dinner meal, but already I'm satiated. How is it possible?
Since raw, unprocessed foods don't contain all the fillers that their ground-up, cooked-out, life-force-deprived cousins do, they act like direct shots of nutrition and satisfaction right into your bloodstream. It's like eating a Little Debbie cake versus noshing a banana; you're likely to want another cake, yet be satisfied post-banana. So when I down a Birds in the Nest (a mild little ball of coconut stuff with a tart organic raspberry center) or crunch a Santa Fe Flaxie (complete with jalapeños—it's like pico de gallo, only in cracker form), I only need one before I call it quits. This, coming from someone who eats Ritz crackers by the sleeve.
I then pick up a bag of FOP's Nutty Nori Chips and encounter what feels like a bag full of air. The squat little snacks inside clearly exist—I can see them! So why can't I feel them? The label quotes the bag's contents as "0.9 ounces." Really?
But I have to admit those Nutti Nori Chips are pretty tasty. In fact, that little bag o' air remains stashed on my desk for a midday pick-me-up.
The Choco Roonies? They are long gone.
1½ cups raw unsalted sunflower seeds (sprouting optional)
2 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon cumin
Dash of cayenne
1 tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos or Nama Shoyu
¾-1 cup Rejuvelac or water
¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
¼ cup celery, diced
½ tsp Celtic Sea Salt
Soak the seeds for two hours minimum. Throw out the soak water. Blend the seeds in a blender or food processor with ¾ cup of water or Rejuvelac, Nama Shoyu, a clove of garlic and lemon juice. Do not add too much water at first or it may be too thin and you will need to add more seeds. Add more liquid to desired consistency. You want the consistency to be that of a thick spread such as hummus. Then add seasonings such as dill or cumin. By hand, mix in the diced celery and add finely chopped red onion. Recommended served as a dip or spread with FOP's Flaxies.

I take your point re an object for σκηπτόμενοι, but does it have to be τί itself? Could it not be an understood relative referring to τί? In other words, the construction would be '... or, using [it] as an excuse ...'. Is this a possibility?
I'm not sure I understand how this would be syntactically possible. And it strikes me that once you recognize that σκηπτόμενοι needs a direct object, τί is the logical choice (rather than supplying something that isn't in the sentence), especially since it yields the neat parallelism λέγοντες . . . ἀποκνοῖμεν and σκηπτόμενοι μὴ βοηθοῖμεν, with the contrast between the Athenians' own interests and those of their allies.
The more I think about this sentence, the more carefully constructed it seems -- the parallelism and the positioning of the ἢ's to highlight the contrast between [ὑμεῖς] αὐτοὶ and τοὺς ἐκεῖ ξυμμάχους in the parallel clauses. There's a reason for the "trajection" -- it's not just an arbitrary dislocation. Actually, it probably shouldn't be thought of as "trajection" -- it's only a departure from normal word order if English word order is imposed on Greek.

I'm definitely looking forward to Loo-Kee!!
It wouldn't be a good selling point, but it would be pretty cool if he was hidden in a POP characters package and kept a secret. Imagine how cool it would be to open the package of someone like Flutterina and then realize Loo-Kee is the secret "accessory".

Alessandro Del Piero has confirmed his playing career with Sydney FC is over, but he may return in another capacity.
The former Juventus great has been linked with the recently vacated coaching position at the A-League club after Frank Farina's sacking.
Del Piero, 39, and the club are looking to continue their relationship, but it remains unclear in what way.
After 24 goals in 48 games, which saw him finish as the club's top goalscorer in both of his seasons, Del Piero offered his thanks in a farewell message posted on his website.
"Australia, the moment has arrived to say 'arrivederci'," Del Piero said.
"My adventure with Sydney FC is about to be concluded, and, even if it makes me rather sad, because I have had wonderful time here, I have communicated my decision to the club.
"I'm really grateful for the last two years and for the club's request for me to remain and with whom, I am happy to explore new opportunities to continue our relationship.
"It hasn't been an easy choice, also because my life on and off the pitch has been fantastic, my family and I have really enjoyed these two wonderful years.
"Australia will remain in our hearts forever."
Del Piero will captain the A-League All-Stars in an exhibition match against Juventus in August, while he is also an ambassador for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup to be held in Australia.
He may continue his playing career elsewhere after being linked with several moves earlier this year.
Sydney FC chairman Scott Barlow said Del Piero's signing was the biggest in Australian football history, and is hoping their relationship can continue.
"Today is bitter-sweet," Barlow said in a statement.
"While we would have liked to see Alessandro remain at Sydney, his decision now allows us to further our discussions about some exciting new opportunities for our ongoing relationship and to build on the legacy that has been started.
"On behalf of everyone at Sydney FC I would like to say thank you to Alessandro for the enormous contribution he has made to our club over the last two years.
"It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have him at our club and we look forward to seeing him in the near future when he is next back in Sydney."

A Johnstown man was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly threatened and then raped a 16-year-old girl earlier this year.
Victor Eugene Pulgar, 32, is accused of having contact with the girl from May through July, when he allegedly raped her at the Elco ballfields.
The girl's parents contacted Roscoe-Elco-Stockdale-Allenport regional police after learning of the alleged assault.
According to the criminal complaint, the girl told police she met Pulgar through an online dating site in May. He reportedly told her that he was 23 years old and from Johnstown. She met him in person when he came to her home.
After a few weeks, she told police she started not to trust him. He reportedly told her he would harm any of her male friends if she hung out with them. Pulgar allegedly obtained her password to her Facebook account and sent her friends messages.
Pulgar reportedly asked her to send him photographs of herself while she was either wearing only underwear or naked. Pulgar reportedly threatened to post the photographs she sent him on Facebook. He also allegedly threatened to harm her family and friends. Police said he also sent her nude photographs of himself.
The girl told police she tried to end the relationship, but Pulgar wouldn't let her. The two went to the ball field late one night because she wanted to talk with him about ending their relationship, and he reportedly raped her.
Pulgar was arraigned before District Judge Gary Havelka on charges of rape, sexual assault, terroristic threats, indecent assault, open lewdness, harassment and four counts of sexual abuse of a child. He was placed in the Washington County jail on $50,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in Central Court.
Pulgar also faces charges in Cambria County of selling obscene or sexual materials, coercing or threatening to expose a secret and harassment by communication using lewd or threatening language. He was arrested by state police in Greensburg stemming from a May 28 incident.

WAYNESBURG – People returning to work following the Easter holiday who drive Route 21 east of Waynesburg or Route 188 may want to leave a little early as highway construction projects on those roads get under way Monday morning.
Contractors for the state Department of Transportation will begin repaving a section of Route 21 between Gwynn Road and Fox Road and start work to replace a small bridge on Route 188 behind the Greene County Fairgrounds.
Bridge replacement on Route 188 will require a detour while work on Route 21 will at times during construction involve lane restrictions.
"People who use these routes to get to work may want to build a little extra time into their commute," said Jay Ofsanik, PennDOT spokesman.
The replacement of the bridge over Laurel Run will involve the closing of Route 188 to through traffic between the Sheetz Store at Bill George Drive and Elm Drive.
During construction, the detour will follow Route 21, Elm Drive and Route 188. Most of the construction will be in the area of the bridge, and the roadway on either side will remain open to local traffic.
The bridge is about 50 feet long and has met its useful life, PennDOT said. The project is expected to be completed by July 22, before the Greene County Fair, which runs Aug. 4-10.
The project will include demolition of the existing bridge, utility relocation, construction of the new single-span bridge, drainage, paving and signs. Work began earlier on utility relocations.
Lane Construction was awarded a $2.2 million contract for this project, as well as for work conducted last summer on a bridge on Route 19 in Mt. Morris.
On the Route 21 project, work is expected to begin Monday and be completed by June 10.
PennDOT had awarded a contract to repave the about 2 miles of highway to the Golden Eagle Construction Co., which submitted a low bid of $775,000.
Traffic, at times, will be restricted to single-lane, alternating. The same stretch of highway was last resurfaced about 15 years ago.
Last spring, a slightly longer section of the road was repaved between the Junction Deli and the Paisley intersection in Cumberland Township.
That project, also completed by Golden Eagle, was more extensive and involved milling the roadway and resurfacing it, upgrading the guardrails and repairing the slope and a bridge parapet. That project also involved single-lane restrictions.
Work also is continuing on Route 21 on the construction of a new bridge to replace the 87-year-old Masontown Bridge carrying Route 21 over the Monongahela River.
