THIS WEEK ON AUSXIP

There's been a few additions and a few changes...you may have noticed the new banner...thought the site needed a bit of a freshen up so the main AUSXIP page has been given the new banner and also the winners of the AUSXIP Talking Xena Banner competitions for Lucy and Renee's sites have also been chosen. Beautiful banners for both sites!

Mesh has been busy creating and has some very exciting news for Stacy Haiduk fans who can now email Stacy via and AUSXIP.org email account and it will be answered by Stacy. Check out Mesh's note below. Stacy has also graciously contributed exclusive images with more on the way. Lots of good stuff.

Mesh writes: The AUSXIP Network site dedicated to Stacy Haiduk now features a set of exclusive photos, with more on the way. You may remember Stacy as Lana on Superboy, Lt. Hitchcock on SeaQuest, or Lisa Tabak on the last season of Prison Break. She's been on shows ranging from All My Children to The X-Files, she currently stars on The Young and the Restless as the vulnerable whacko Mary Jane.

Stacy has decided to open a fan mail account with AUSXIP, you're welcome to email her if you liked her in any or all her roles.

Come on over and check out the site and don't be shy, email Stacy, she'd love to hear from you.

For Erin Cummings fans, the new site dedicated to the Bitch Slap and Spartacus star is now online. Erin is a super cool lady and I'm very pleased to be adding this new site to AUSXIP. The GORGEOUS banner was created by Mesh.

AUSXIP Spartacus Image Galleries Now Online

 With the flurry of PR for the show in full swing, I've added an images section with the latest PR photos officially released by Starz. AUSXIP has been added as a media outlet for these images. All images are copyrighted to Starz.

All these images have inspired my muse to get creative. There is a new banner on the site and I've added a slighter bigger version of this banner to the new Artwork section in the image galleries.

I've also added  pics that were sent to me from Annie who is at Comic Con - the magazine PR from the comic con program guide will be replaced with a full size scan once the troops come home.

So far the galleries are:

Pre-Order Legend of the Seeker

Amazon.com has been updated with the Legend of the Seeker Season 1 DVD ordering info.

Richard Cypher was once but a simple woodsman, an expert tracker and explorer of the trails that run through and around his home town of Hartland, located in the province known as Westland. He was well liked by the townspeople, and looked up to his older brother, Michael, the First Councilor. Their father, George Cypher, raised the two boys after the death of his wife.

AUSXIP's Atomic Meltdown Recovery...

The recovery from May's AUSXIP Atomic Meltdown is still ongoing. I've been working on bringing back the AUSXIP Legend of the Seeker news archive (that's currently up to November 2008) and now I'm happy to report that my site dedicated to Steven Sears is back online!

I posted a note from Steven on 2 May 2009 and then AUSXIP got hit by the hackers and the seriously dead server so you all may  not have read Steven's update on his new job with Cookie Jar. Go over and have a read! Thanks everyone for your patience.

The convention page also needs to have parts of it resurrected and other assorted things. This year AUSXIP Celebrates 14 years online and these last few months, I can see where all the work has gone <g>

Once again thanks for your patience!

Goodbye Michael

Shock News - Michael Jackson Dead!

I was driving into work this morning and turned on the radio to the shock news that Michael Jackson has died. I'm in shock. Michael suffered a heart attack at the age of 50 and couldn't be revived. I grew up listening to Michael's music (and he was only 5 years older than me). I love his music. I won't go into his personal life but his extraordinary musical talent is undeniable and the world has lost a SUPREMELY talented man. He was a muscial legend and a muscial genius.

I find myself feeling the same way I felt when I learnt that Elvis had died...wow. Unbelievable.

Goodbye Farrah

It is with great sadness I woke up this morning to the news that one of the women I admired so much as I was growing up had passed away overnight. Farrah Fawcett, who entranced a young kid with her bubbly personality and her acting gift has lost her battle with rectal cancer. I admired Farrah so much. Her portrayal of the battered woman who fought back in The Burning Bed was truly an amazing performance. Ryan O'Neil, her long time love (and fiance) issued this statement today:

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," he said. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

Thank you for the hours of enjoyment and for your talent, Farrah. Rest in peace.
