Hi and welcome to another newsletter.

Well, the message board has certainly had a work out since Nicole left her message. If you haven't read it please do. After awhile the board scrolls through and deletes past messages so read it and all the replies while you can!
This newsletter updates on some of the things I've done to the site in the past month so you may already know some of this if you regularly visit. :)

1. CUBE is now available on VHS and DVD

and click on the cube shaped banner at the top of the page. Warning, the prices may shock you!

2. The main page has been updated slightly again. Additions include a page for Family of Cops III images and a link for the startrekcontinuum Nicole chat session, which is not far away. You need to submit your questions in advance if you wish to participate.

3. For those of you who aren't able to get to the Message in time (in case you're reading this email in a couple of weeks, and to make sure it goes in the archives!) here is Nicole's message copied and pasted below.

      Hello everyone! It's me..Nicole. I finally have a chance to drop
      you all a line. Although,I
      realize you might not believe that it's really me.
      I don't know what to do about that. Hhmmmmm.
      First off, I'd like to say that I think this site is wonderful,
      and I'm extremely flattered by the
      time and effort put into it, and the other ones. Thank you so
      much.
      It is a little odd at times,having people I don't know writing
      and talking about me, but it does
      make me happy that the sort of people that are drawn to me as an
      actor are kind, intelligent
      and
      interesting human beings. That is a good sign,I think.
      Ah, let's see....yes you finally got my birthday...it's rather
      amusing that there was so much
      discussion about it. It is true,as someone pointed out( I think
      it was Neil) that I do
      predominentally play younger characters, and since people rarely
      believe me when I tell
      them my age, it is something I don't bring up on my own.
      What else?.. Work is going well,there are alot of interesting
      things going on for Ezri.
      As far as conventions, the only ones I know of now are the
     Manchester one and a couple in
      Australia(May-June?).Well friends, I guess I'll go now.I'm glad
      I had a chance to finally say
      "hi". I hope you will understand when I say I don't know how
      soon I can do it again.A spare
      moment is a rare moment for me these days. That's not a
     complaint! I love to work!Again,
      thank you so much. " Hi" to Neil and Jenn, and let's see ..Ryan
     "hi", and Kelvin You guys
      rule!!
      Happy not -quite- so New Year All!
      nicole :)

For those of you who are skeptics, here are some things that may convince you. 1. After much research by creechb the message was confirmed to originate from LA (which is where DS9 is filmed)  2. Jenn says that when she last met up with her, Nicole uses a favourite word - 'odd'. She uses it in this message. 3. I'm convinced! (Okay so that isn't really a quantifiably convincing argument but Nicole has been known to surf the net and so why not!) There are quite a number of
people who have emailed in questions to the chat asking if the message was really from her. Maybe one will get through and the moderator will ask. Something to look forward to. :)

The second is

Which basically features screen grabs of Ezri Dax's family.
