Message from Hudson Leick

The following message is from Hudson via Cindy: Hi everyone, I wanted to invite all of you to my newly redesigned website, www.healingheartyoga.com . It was re-designed by Cindy Tingley and she did a fantastic job. If you've visited the site before, it is the same name, but a totally new website with a lot of new offerings that I would love to share with you. While I am still acting, I have also decided to pursue my deep passion for helping others and make myself available for Spiritual Counseling, Astrological Readings, and more. We are also planning another Yoga Retreat for sometime in August, in the LA area. All are welcome…please come if you feel called. Much love, Hudson

Karl Urban News - SciFi Wire Interview

Karl Urban told SCI FI Wire that he was "well versed" in the history of Star Trek before he signed on to play Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek movie. "I remember watching quite a bit of the original series with my father, when I was a boy," the New Zealand-born Urban said in an exclusive interview. "About a year before I knew they were making a new film, I bought the entire box set [of the original series] and watched it with my son, who absolutely loved the show. He found some aspects hilarious. He was like, 'Look, dad, they have posters of star systems instead of plasma screens.' So when J.J. was looking for his new cast, I was well versed in the culture and character of the show." Read the interview here News contributed by Barbara Davies
