Normal static air conditioning is provided by two Panasonic reverse cycle inverter type split system units, one across rear of bedroom and one across the front of the lounge, above the windscreen. These units adjust their output continuously rather than 'on or off', resulting in smoother demand on 230v supply. Further air-conditioning is available if required, from a centrally roof mounted Coleman unit. When travelling, air-conditioning is carried out by the original Coach Air unit mounted on the roof, and is ducted to all parts of the vehicle. A satellite navigation system is fitted, and is easily re-located to car when required.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky., Jul 06, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
General Cable Corporation (NYSE: BGC), one of the most globally
diversified industrial companies, issued an update on the previously
disclosed investigation by the European Commission. General Cable
reported today that the European Commission has issued a Statement of
Objections in relation to its ongoing competition investigation to a
number of wire and cable companies in the submarine and underground
power cables businesses, including General Cable.
A Statement of Objections is a procedural document in which the European
Commission communicates its preliminary view in regard to possible
infringement of European competition law and allows the companies
identified in the Statement to present procedural and substantive
arguments in response before a final decision by the Commission. The
Statement of Objections issued to General Cable alleges that two
affiliates in Europe engaged in violations of competition law for a
limited period of time in the underground power cables business. As
previously disclosed, General Cable only recently entered the submarine
power cables business in March 2009 through its subsidiary in Germany,
Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke GmbH & Co, which was acquired in 2007. The
Company is reviewing the Statement of Objections and intends to defend
itself against the allegations.
The Company also stated that it has not been named as a party in any
other cases or proceedings which have been brought by competition
authorities in various countries against companies in the submarine and
underground power cables businesses.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Certain statements in this press release, including without
limitation, statements regarding future financial results and
performance, plans and objectives, capital expenditures and the
Company's or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions, are
forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from
those statements as a result of factors, risks and uncertainties over
which the Company has no control. Such factors, risks, and uncertainties
are more fully discussed in the Company's Report on Form 10-K, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011, as
well as periodic reports filed with the Commission.

Congrats to all the winners…you are true Clancy-ites. And many thanks, Ree, for the fun quizzes that remind me of what great movies I've had the good fortune to see!
Ang On Friday, October 11 at 12:59 pm
Congrats! Guys know Clancy well . . . . I was 100% on things not "Patriot Games" never saw it so bombed those questions!Boo!
Alice On Friday, October 11 at 1:55 pm
Kathleen G On Friday, October 11 at 2:09 pm
Okay, a wild guess, not a gift of foresight. Love this quiz. Thanks Ree. Congratulations on the winners.
Sandi On Friday, October 11 at 8:15 pm
Having seen Hunt for Red October numerous times, I easily got all those. Only seen Clear & Present Danger once or twice and not any time recently, I remembered little except that it was in Columbia and had William Defoe in it. Patriot Games…. read the book when it first came out 20+years ago… Definitely did not do as well as hoped on this quiz. Oh well, Clancy was still a fabulous author and the movies were entertaining!
Melissa O. On Monday, October 14 at 10:03 am
I think I would've won if you gave a prize for the LOWEST score….29%!! I've only seen "Red October" so I totally bombed this quiz.
Thanks for the fun, though
Pammy On Monday, October 14 at 10:06 am
Congratulations to the winners.
I'm hoping the next novelist/actor/screenwriter/director who dies is someone I know something about. I was pitiful on this one.
AND…although I'm now intensely interested in reading the books, then seeing the movies, my school work load probably won't allow any leisure reading until I graduate next summer.
Reminds me of when I was pregnant. I read all the books…little did I know that would be the last of the reading for years.
Natalie On Monday, October 14 at 6:32 pm
Wow! now I am glad I didn't enter – I would have only gotten the "Hunt for Red October" questions right, and not even all of those!
Daawwnn On Tuesday, October 15 at 12:54 am
I love a quiz of any kind. This one was exciting. Thanks!

New study by Dr. Elliott Tucker-Drob Shows Poverty Suppresses Children's Genetic Potential
Posted: January 11, 2011
Using 750 sets of twins as subjects, Dr. Elliot Tucker-Drob found that 50 percent of the progress wealthier children show on mental ability tests can be attributed to genetics. Children from poor families, however, showed almost no progress attributable to genetics. The study, "Emergence of a Gene x Socioeconomic Status Interaction on Infant Mental Ability Between 10 Months and 2 Years", has been published in the journal Psychological Science. The study was co-authored by Kathryn Paige Harden of The University of Texas at Austin, Mijke Rhemtulla of The University of Texas at Austin and the University of British Columbia, and Eric Turkheimer and David Fask of the University of Virginia.

The Truth is Out There
Flashbulb Memory is a term describing uncommonly vivid and detailed human recollection, distinct from ordinary long-term memory. These hyper-detailed memories may be triggered by a rare or traumatic event prompting an emotional response or a powerful sense of awe: first sight of the ocean, a solar eclipse, or an encounter with unexplained phenomenon.
As if encoded with a broader cerebral bandwidth, these memories carry heightened recollection of sight, sound, smell and touch. While their evolutionary purpose is unclear, neuroscientists believe they are created somewhere in the medial temporal lobe of the brain.
The precise physiological process has not been identified.
A wet, warm wind whips through an old stand of trees in my backyard, a vestige of the endless Oak savanna that once dominated this part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Through their branches, high in the sky, a waning crescent moon.
In a few moments I will walk into my house to watch the premiere episode of The X-Files, and from the pilot episode on, I am fascinated with this breakthrough in series television.
I remember everything…
'Sorry, Nobody Down Here but the FBI's Most Unwanted'
As if originality, exceptional writing and indelible performances are not enough, the X-Files is unforgettable in its look, feel and approach: The damp, shadowy noir atmosphere; the eerie sense of conspiracy, of being watched; and as the series developed, the unrequited love of Special Agents Fox William Mulder and Dr. Dana Katherine Scully.
I wanted to talk to other people about The X-Files in that fall of '93, but fellow enthusiasts were rare in those early days. It would be more than 15 years before I could Tweet or LIKE it on Facebook.
The show was ranked 105 out of 128 network programs, not really fodder for watercooler chat. So I found a very small group on America Online that regularly discussed the show. (That's how it was, kids. "Internet" was supposed to be a big deal one day, but not yet. You couldn't Google because there wasn't one, and Yahoo! was "David and Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web," operating out of a trailer. For reals. Ask your mom).
The fans on AOL were an interesting mix of sci-fi people, amateur ufologists and women with tragic crushes on David Duchovny. For the record, I just really liked the show. I did not progress to experimental fan fiction and I don't have 800 watercolor portraits of Gillian Anderson in a padlocked room at home, and that's the truth as far as you know.
But it's nice to share things we're passionate about. We moved to Chicago the following summer; one morning while commuting into the Loop on the train I read a wire story in the Tribune about the show's "cult following." They interviewed one of my old X-Files AOL friends. I felt somehow validated.
'Mr. Mulder, They've Been Here for a Long, Long Time'
One of the delights of X-Files, and something that fueled its popularity, is the uber-quotable dialogue; it is a writer's dream. And surprisingly useful in everyday conversation.
Example: Let's say your spouse or employer questions your credibility. You might say "When convention and science offer us no answers, might we not finally turn to the **fantastic** as a plausibility?"
Try this one. There's a scene in which Mulder's nemesis, Cigarette Smoking Man (CSM) is engaged in innuendo-laced conversation with Mulder's mother, a paramour from years past. Mom reminisces how CSM had been a more skilled water-skier than her late husband.
"Well," begins CSM before a long drag on his trademark Morley cigarette. "That could be said of a **great many things.**" It's just plumb magical as a conversation stopper, in any discussion.
But then, that could be said of a **great many things.**
'Agent Mulder Believes We are Not Alone'
Voiceover narration can be a friend to the lazy writer. But in the hands of the talented crew who penned X-Files episodes, it is leveraged to great effect. Some of the most memorable is delivered in the FBI field reports of Agent Scully.
She crafts them late in the night, her cute round glasses reflecting the flicker of the monitor's green phosphor. (Really, they're just like every Sex & The City episode, except she never writes about whether you can really be friends with your Ex, or her real feelings about Big moving to Napa).
Scully's reports try to address the loose ends, and often they're futile attempts to couch the case's inexplicable events in the discipline and context of science. They serve to enhance the paranoid sense of yet one more layer of secrecy we can never penetrate, of being manipulated by cruel puppet masters, both distant and unknown.
They typically end with a tantalizingly unsatisfying conclusion like "Agent Mulder's claims of alien origins could not be substantiated… My report on this case remains incomplete, and many aspects continue to defy explanation.
"Barring further authorized inquiry, this case, File #DF101364, is closed."
'Coconut Cream or Lemon Meringue? I Don't Know, It's Hazy'
It is simply too daunting and difficult to compile a Top Ten list of X-Files episodes. But I can share a few that I think are representative of the series and among the best:
Though rarely cited as exceptional, I find myself drawn to "Revelations," in which 12-year-old Kevin Kryder show the signs of stigmata. Despite Mulder's skepticism, Scully thinks the phenomenon may be genuine. She also comes to believe that she is destined, perhaps chosen, to be his protector. A well told tale at the intersection of science and faith, and a great performance by Anderson.
In "Jose Chung's From Outer Space," witnesses provide conflicting versions of the alleged alien abduction of two teenagers. As the agents seek the truth, thriller novelist Jose Chung (Charles Nelson Reilly) researches a book about the incident. It distills everything bizarre, confounding and ultimately compelling about the UFO phenomenon, and notable for appearances by Jesse Ventura and Alex Trebek as Men in Black.
"Beyond The Sea" is the story of death row inmate Luther Lee Boggs, who promises to use his psychic abilities to help the FBI find two kidnapped teenagers. He also convinces Scully that he is able to channel the spirit of her recently deceased father. Named for the 1959 Bobby Darrin song, "Beyond The Sea" creepily explores the frequent X-Files themes of belief and redemption.
In "The Unnatural" Negro League baseball player Josh Exley is in truth a tall gray alien smitten by the simple yet overwhelming joy of baseball. Beautifully brought to life by Law & Order's Jesse L. Martin, Exley is a fugitive from his people, living his dream among The Roswell Grays in 1940s New Mexico. Co-written and directed by Duchovny, "The Unnatural" is an outlier of the series, a standalone episode from season six that is a high water mark of the latter seasons and one start-to-finish cracking good hour of television.
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" may be my very favorite. The great Peter Boyle is insurance agent Bruckman, who helps Mulder and Scully track a serial killer who is murdering psychics. Bruckman is obsessed over the random sequence of events around the 1959 plane crash that killed rocker Buddy Holly and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. The obsession eventually yields a special power to forsee the circumstances of any person's death.
And no kidding, he was a bigger fan of The Big Bopper than Buddy Holly.
CONFIDENTIAL X-FILES FIELD REPORT OF MARK SPEARMAN – Epilogue
Further to the subject of memory and the events and opinions described above, it must be noted that human neurological constructs define our limited, largely false perception of time and space. While you believe you are reading words in sequence on a screen in front of you, you are actually seeing what we all experience every moment of our lives, the illusion of moving through linear time.
In fact, time, like space, exists only as a single, absolute value, the continuous "now."
Some theorize that time can be broken down to indivisible units called chronons, and that human perception is the product of a "smoothing" of these chronons, like trillions of tiny film cells creating a movie-like experience we know as consciousness.
It logically follows that this is a mechanism we are not capable of understanding within our present concept of reality.
Who, or what, is controlling this process, and why, remains unknown.

Great post. I still miss the X -files, and yes, I believe. Even the opening music sequence was memorable and spooky. Six fingers? I wasn't a big fan of the movie, however.
CarlyW On Monday, July 29 at 8:27 am
I remember my very first X-Files episode…"Jose Chung's From Outer Space" when I was 14. I snuck upstairs to watch the Simpsons, which my mom didn't like, and found a much greater love in the X-Files afterwards. Soon the entire family was hooked (though my mom sort of regretted it after watching "Home"). I admit it, I did have a tragic crush on Fox Mulder, but I'm also a legit sci-fi fan, so it's okay…at least I keep telling myself that.
CarlyW On Monday, July 29 at 8:58 am
Also, perhaps you should write an X-Files quiz…?
Lauren On Wednesday, July 31 at 7:24 pm
Oh, "Home"…what a creepy, creepy episode.
Cindy Hardy On Sunday, August 11 at 2:11 am

Thanks for the memories, Mark. From day 1, I was a HUGE X-Files fan. I couldn't wait for each week's episode. Now I want to watch them all over again!
LanaB On Monday, July 29 at 9:18 am
Great post! I loved this show and couldn't wait to see a new episode every week. Now I am off to see if the episodes are on NetFlix
GiGi in Georgia On Monday, July 29 at 9:24 am
Loved this show! It was funny, creepy and smart. Thanks for the memories!
Deb R On Monday, July 29 at 9:26 am
Thanks for the great post! I really miss the X-Files, such a great show – really made you think and maybe go "hmmmm?" could that have really happen? Hmmmmm. . . .
Beth E. On Monday, July 29 at 9:33 am
I love the X-Files. I have all the seasons on DVD — although I haven't watched all of it. I liked the stand alone "monster of the week" episodes best. And I was a huge fan of some characters who were not leads like: AD Skinner and Langley, Frohike and Byers (the Lone Gunmen.)
Caryl O On Monday, July 29 at 9:36 am
I never missed 1 episode. The one episode that just creeped me out was "Squeeze." Even to this day, every time I see Doug Hutchison I think of that episode. There was just something about someone who could squeeze through those tiny spaces… I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Janet D. On Monday, July 29 at 11:38 am
OH MY!!! That was one of the creepiest!
helen On Monday, July 29 at 12:37 pm
I'm not an X-Files fan – not that I didn't like it – I just wasn't a huge fan. But my roommate in college was. And that's the one episode that I think about anytime I think about the X-Files because I remember us watching that one and by the time the episode was over, we were both curled up at the head of my bed as far away from the air conditioning vent as we could possibly get.
Paula On Monday, July 29 at 9:39 am
Loved the X-Files – what a rare treat it was, too – a show both the husband and I both liked, AND it was on Friday nights! When you have a baby, Friday nights out pretty much end, and I was pregnant when the show started, so it was a great gift.
Of course I had a sort-of crush on Agent Mulder – who could resist? Although I always thought Agent Scully was very pretty in her own right.
I've been watching the episodes again on Netflix (it is available, for those who are wondering). I've also been watching Gillian Anderson in The Fall – a five episode BBC program, I believe, that is available on Netflix as well. She's even prettier now then she was back then!

Great post! My husband & I just finished watching every episode on Netflix, then both movies. Love Mulder & Scully!
Jennifer S On Monday, July 29 at 9:54 am
I don't know the name of the episode, but do you remember the one about the redneck mutants? The mother scooted around on a skateboard-like thing…this was a "stand-alone" episode and it has to be one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen on TV. Still creeps me out to this day! LOVED the X-files though The truth is out there…
Jennifer S On Monday, July 29 at 1:48 pm
"Home" was the episode!
Ellen Renee On Tuesday, July 30 at 5:38 pm
I did not remember the name of that episode but you describing it gave me a cold chill. That episode scared me to death and all these years later I will think about it and get freaked out all over again!
Monique On Thursday, August 1 at 5:17 pm
I so miss the X-Files and that episode really creeped me out.
Robin M On Monday, July 29 at 10:07 am
Great post! This is in my top 3 favorite TV shows of all time. Great writing, great acting, just great all around.
Susan Brown On Monday, July 29 at 10:20 am
Yes, still miss "The X-Files"; thanks for this lovely little tribute to one of the best series to ever appear on television. Its was clever, well written, darkly humorous, creepy, beautifully acted, intelligent and just plain wonderful fun. So wish I could've been at Comic-Con for the series' anniversary and appearance by Duchovny and Anderson. Adored the chemistry between these two, who brought to life two of the most memorable characters in t.v. history. And yes, just like "Star Trek", I remember in detail the pilot episode, and feeling that, yes, this is what any great story/series, should be.
Aubrey On Monday, July 29 at 10:24 am
How I loved this show. Trying to get my younger sister to press record while I was cheerleading, oh so many fights. It also turned me on to the Internet back in that day, which in turn had me winning pizza parties for my keyboard class. Such good tweenage memories.
Heather S On Monday, July 29 at 10:35 am
Several years ago my husband and I started renting x-files from the library and watched all the episodes together. Good times. We've started watching them again on our occasional evenings together. We named our dog Fox, not after the animal, but after Mulder.
Tracy On Monday, July 29 at 10:36 am
Loved the X-Files. Tragic crush on David Duchovny. We have spent the summer watching the British series Dr. Who (Netflix, Season 1 & 2 so far) because my teenage son has heard a lot about it, but I think I'm going to have to insist he watch X-Files next. Way better show, in my opinion.
mctrot On Monday, July 29 at 3:39 pm
Loved the X-Files, but give Dr. Who a chance. It gets better. During Seasons 1 and 2 it was still finding its voice. And remember that season 1 was 1963. It's come a long way in 50 years.
Shea Z On Monday, July 29 at 10:36 am
I loved this show when it was first introduced. It was one thing that my Dad and I shared a passion for. Every week we parked ourselves in front of the TV and watched. Now my husband and I are watching every episode on Netflix. Great post!
JoLynne On Monday, July 29 at 10:48 am
Finally, 20 years later, there's a place where I can talk to strangers about my great love of the X files. Ah, the writing, the mystery, the almost-never-mentioned romance… I agree with many of your top choices, but I have to add my all-time favorite, "Bad Blood." A brilliant vampire comedy from the days before vampires were sparkly.
Jennifer On Monday, July 29 at 10:50 am
Just found out through a friend at the recent ComicCon event (San Diego, CA) X-Files starting on there final movie coming out end of the year or next year. Yiiiiippppeeee

I have every season on VHS… that's how long I've loved and watched the X-Files. I mean, this is where my fandom started!
Kim Ralston On Monday, July 29 at 11:15 am
One of my all time favorite episodes was "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas"! I just loved this episode! And the one episode that scared the beejeezes out of me was "Detour". It was the one were Scully sings to Mulder! Still can't watch that one by myself!!!!
Taana On Monday, July 29 at 11:21 am
How cool is this?!?! I'm actually watching The X-Files on Amazon Prime!! I'm almost done with season 8 and it's been fun re-watching one of my childhood shows. Thanks for the blog!

Shawna On Monday, July 29 at 11:28 am
I was a fan of the show and floored to hear that my father was actually a friend of the actor who played the Cigarette Smoking Man. When they got together for a meal in Vancouver we insisted my dad bring home a pic of the two of them together as proof. I still have that picture, though it looks odd to see him tanned and smiling instead of pale and sombre like his character.
Interesting fact: while my dad and he were downhill skiing buddies a long time ago, CSM is in fact, an avid waterskier. He waterskis competitively in the seniors' category.

Nikki H On Monday, July 29 at 11:43 am
I was the only one I knew who watched the X-Files, but I got my daughter (10 when it started!) hooked. We sat together in the recliner, clutching each other, and then would dissect the episode for a couple of hours afterward. Now I want to go watch them all over again.
PJ On Monday, July 29 at 11:45 am
If this doesn't come out on blu-ray soon, I am going to explode!
Rebecca F On Wednesday, August 7 at 11:18 am
According to at least one X-Files episode, human spontaneous combustion *IS* a possibility…
Marcy from TN On Monday, July 29 at 12:01 pm
Mark, I have watched every episode from the beginning and I used to tape it for my late father, who looked forward every month to getting his tapes of that months worth of episodes. I had told my husband that this was something only my dad and I did and we bonded extensively over watching these episodes.
So for Christmas this year, he bought me the whole 9 season set! We have been watching them on and off for the last several months when nothing else is on TV to watch and I have to say. I have forgotten a lot of the episodes, so I am thoroughly enjoying getting to see them again!
(PS. He also bought the entire set of MacGyver as well! Another favorite of my dad and I! Did I mention I have an awesome husband!?)
Angie On Monday, July 29 at 12:36 pm
Oh, I do hope you write about this again. I remember where I was as well: in the family room of my parents' old house, staring desperately at the clock, ratting the ugly brown shag carpet. I was 9 and had fallen in love at first preview. I begged in advance to be allowed to watch it since it was after my bedtime. My parents allowed me to stay up but only because I was very nearly 10, the age at which bedtime got extended to the magical hour of nine o'clock. I taped the whole thing on a much-recorded-over VHS, and lovingly labeled it X Files Pilot DO NOT TOUCH OR ELSE.
From that night on, it was a weekly staple. Did a lot of it go over our heads? Yep. Did we care? Not a bit. Some kids played cops and robbers, but my sister and I? It was FBI versus government cover up/creepy monster/crashed ufos. I even had a little hard plastic pencil case with a handle that we used as a briefcase, with hand drawn badges.
Thanks for the memory trip

Has and always will be my favorite tv show ever! Kim
Shannon H On Monday, July 29 at 12:48 pm
Thanks for bringing back memories of one of my favorite shows. I love the style in which you wrote the piece and one of my favorites was also "Clyde Bruckman" It's one of the episodes which really draws Scully's character into believing. A quiz on the show would be so fun!
JoAnn W On Monday, July 29 at 12:50 pm
Oh my—my husband and I geeked out on X-Files from the beginning. I have to laugh at the rembrance of early AOL without Google, because I was there, too! Great article, I remember the shows, but not the titles of each…so thanks for the memories!
Heidi On Monday, July 29 at 12:59 pm
As newlyweds, my husband and I spent many an evening watching this show. He lost interest after a few seasons but I hung on until the end. Just thinking about it reminds me of our first house, sitting by the fire, sipping white zinfandel and watching CSM in all his evil glory. My favorite episode — and one of the few I still watch on Netflix — is "Home", the one episode banned from the network due to its controversial nature. "Well, aside from the need for corrective lenses and a tendency to be abducted by extraterrestrials involved in an international governmental conspiracy, the Mulder family passes genetic muster." That quote still makes me smile.
Mark On Monday, July 29 at 1:16 pm
Yes! Seems no one is neutral on the subject of "Home" but I liked it.
Diane On Monday, July 29 at 1:06 pm
I loved this show! I remember sitting down to watch the first episode. Too many favorite episodes to name just one
Heidi C. On Monday, July 29 at 1:08 pm
Man, I loved this show! I really need to start watching reruns.
TamraK On Monday, July 29 at 1:26 pm
I never watched the X-Files. I didn't have a TV in the early 90's, for one thing. You've inspired me to put it on my Amazon watchlist-it's free for Prime member!
marilyn d. On Monday, July 29 at 1:28 pm
this show was a bonding thing for me and my then 13 year old daughter. we had a standing date for x-files, even when they switched the broadcast night. i don't think we ever missed an episode. i am such a geek that i own them all on dvd. we still make "in" references, laugh at certain triggers, and smile at "42" on mulder's apartment door. (obscure science fiction reference and "hitch hiker's guide" that slipped by a few people…but not the true fans!) it fed my need for science fiction/UFOs and the unexplained–it fed my daughter's need for conspiracy plots and distrust of the government–and it gave us something in common at an age when so many kids are pulling away. we could never pick a favorite episode.
and don't forget the "lone gunmen", and their short-lived spin-off! they were the comic relief the x-files needed to keep things light, and not take itself too seriously. and we loved them. they were geeks before geeks were a truly recognized species!
now i have to go dig in the archives, and start the series over, all over again. i've just retired. i'll have time. and i still love a good conspiracy…
Beth E. On Monday, July 29 at 4:12 pm
I loved the Lone Gunmen and did watch their spin off (I own it on dvd too.) But I didn't like how they dumbed down the Gunmen on their own show. I have a mug with the Lone Gunmen on it.

My favorite place to be on Sunday night was in front of the TV at 9pm Hated that this show ended….
Shari On Monday, July 29 at 2:04 pm
Love the X-Files. Most particularly the first few seasons. And not to detract from this fine article, but you did mention Sex & the City, and that makes me wonder if you will ever write an article on it? I would love to hear a man's perspective on the series. I would also be curious if you learned anything? : )
Catie Cook On Monday, July 29 at 2:12 pm

Shaun Hansel On Monday, July 29 at 2:35 pm
Funny, my wife and I have been watching X-Files recently (right now actually) while cooking up your great recipes(again, right now) so I had to laugh when I got the newsletter and saw this. You continue to entertain and inspire, so thanks! Got any great recipes that require a smoker?

I was in elementary school when X-Files was on, but I remember FOX MULDER and fell in love with the name FOX and vowed to one day name my son FOX. Fast forward to 2010 and we now have a son name FOX! I LOVE X-FILES!
Rachel C On Monday, July 29 at 3:46 pm
Loved this show too, and have them all on VHS
I should watch those again.
Remember the episode with the house covered in the circus tent?
Kate S. On Monday, July 29 at 4:12 pm
Yes! the Post-Modern Prometheus. Another favorite. Filming in black-and-white was genius.
There are three songs that I will never hear again without thinking of a corresponding X-Files episode: Cher's version of 'Walking in Memphis' (from that episode), Beyond the Sea, and Johnny Mathis' 'Wonderful, Wonderful' (from Home, *shudder*).
Heather C. On Monday, July 29 at 11:19 pm
Yes! It was one of the best monster of the week episodes!
Kate S. On Monday, July 29 at 4:06 pm
Jose Chung's and Beyond the Sea always come to mind when I think of my favorites. I loved the stand-alone episodes so much, like The Rain King. One Breath is perhaps my all-time fave.
I really miss that show!
Cassie from Wisconsin On Monday, July 29 at 4:39 pm
I remember watching X-files weekly with my mom and older sisters, and remember being scared in many of the episodes. I am about halfway through with re-watching every episode on Netflix (every season is available!) and am finding it funnier and wittier than I remember. The theme music and beginning still freak me out sometimes! Oh and I definitely have a crush on David Duchovny.
patty On Monday, July 29 at 5:32 pm
Oh how I loved this show, still do. I one day plan to purchase the series in it's entirety. Oh yes I do …
Lynelle D On Monday, July 29 at 5:45 pm
While channel surfing I came across the x-files episode humbug I was hooked. I miss that show. thanks for a great post.
Lanria On Monday, July 29 at 5:56 pm
Oh what memories…… X-Files was my favorite show. I couldn't wait for each new episode each week. Yes, some of the episodes were on the brink of frightening and scaring the daylight out of you. I liked the creepy and intense opening music. Oh, how I miss Dana and Fox. They were so good together!
marilyn d. On Monday, July 29 at 5:58 pm
anybody else remember the angst-filled alternative song "david duchovny, why don't you love me?" " i loved that longing little anthem…
Kacy K On Tuesday, July 30 at 11:01 am
I have the words on my bulletin board. Just this week, I stopped and sung through the song in my head. I loved David Duchovny and the X-Files.
Annie On Monday, July 29 at 6:18 pm
I'll never forget the name Eugene Tooms. And the vampire episode with Luke Wilson and Ham from The Sandlot. I always loved the "Monster of the Week" eps, except The Chalusari, which I watched alone while I was pregnant with my first child. I totally freaked out and didn't sleep that whole night.
Annie On Monday, July 29 at 6:19 pm
Oh, and I share a b-day with Gillian Anderson, so I always thought I had some sort of secret affinity to the show. It does that to you.
jody On Friday, August 9 at 11:45 am
Tooms and Bad Blood are my two favorites too. One super creepy, one nearly hilarious.
Traci On Monday, July 29 at 6:52 pm
I was a single mom at the time the X-Files first came on television. My boys and I would have pizza every Friday night and watch the X-Files. I loved that show. There has never been another show like it and I don't think there ever could be. The writing was superb, the cast/acting was perfect and I still watch it regularly to this day. Thank heavens for Netflix.
Chrissy Denise On Monday, July 29 at 6:57 pm
I miss this show. I also miss watching anything that is not on Nickelodeon….. lol.
Stacy On Monday, July 29 at 8:45 pm
Love this show, too! One of my favorite episodes was War of the Coprophages where Mulder visits a town seemingly overrun by cockroaches. So much wit and innuendo.
Guess I have another show to catch on Netflix!
Isabel On Monday, July 29 at 9:12 pm
I was hooked from the very first episode and now my 12 year old is hooked (Netflix). I LOVE that we can spend time together sharing our mutual geeky-ness
Holly Jo On Monday, August 5 at 11:51 pm
My husband LOVED this show. I just told my husband you said it was on Netflix I think we will now start watching it with our kids
Heather C. On Monday, July 29 at 11:13 pm
Mark, you were far from being alone! My best friend, husband and I have loved the X-Files since it was first aired on channel 50 here in Detroit. I love the standalone episodes like The Unnatural, Syzgy, Humbug, and it isn't Christmastime util we watch The Ghosts Who Stole Christmas! I wish reruns were still airi g.
Suzanne On Monday, July 29 at 11:26 pm
You are not alone! I was also an AOL-X-Files-Chat-Room fan. We were probably online at the same time (30 seconds after the ending credits every Friday night)! I like your fav selections, especially the Unnatural. I tended to really love the "different" episodes, much more than the conspiracy ones, not that I didn't bite my nails through every conspiracy plot twist and pray for/ dread the eventual death (explosion) of Cancer Man. I think I have to add to your list Ice, Post Modern Prometheus, and Arcadia. Oh, and Home!! Seriously, Home was the most demented, creepy episode of the series. Is it obvious that I was a "shipper"?? I spent all of my teenage years wrapped up in this show. Might explain why I went off to college as an even bigger dork than I would have otherwise (and heartbroken that an era was over).
Mark On Monday, July 29 at 11:45 pm
That's right! The AOL confab was right after the show ended. I believe the high point in the early days was a Live Chat with either Glen Morgan or James Wong.
Interesting, the "Home" fans coming forward…

Daawwnn On Monday, July 29 at 11:37 pm
I learned of El Chupacabra from X-Files. Creeped me right out. The episode "Triangle" especially sticks in my memory. The plot (WWII, Bermuda Triangle) was very far fetched, even for X-Files, but so well done.
angie g On Monday, July 29 at 11:44 pm
Even though I was a big fan of the show the movie confused me. I miss the simple days. Memories….
Marla On Monday, July 29 at 11:53 pm
Oh Mark – you have hit the nail on the head! That show was a wonderful thing, in an era of conservative TV, it was the one way-out-there thing on the "new and improved" Fox channel. How much I loved Sunday nights after work, popcorn in hand and "X-Files" on the tube! We still discuss it at work like it is still on and thank you Netflix for showing them so we can ruminate over every idea presented. This was the first time that any show did the "plot within a plot" idea: the ongoing conspiracy plot against the weekly thriller plot. Now so many shows do it, but the "X" did it first and best! Rumor has it that there will be a reunion (movie again or TV?) but it is just a rumor – or is it?
Dawn C On Tuesday, July 30 at 8:19 am
I miss the X-files – my husband and I watched it religiously. Favorite episode has to be Bad Blood – Luke Wilson was fantastic.
deb On Tuesday, July 30 at 8:50 am
Great post! I was an avid X-files fan from the beginning. I was going to college at night, so the only evening I had free was Friday, so that was the only night I watched tv and the only show I watched was the X-files. Loved Bad Blood and Jose Chung but also loved Post Modern Prometheus with the Great Mutato and Small Potatoes, where the guy can change his apparence and ends up looking like Mulder (and nearly kisses Scully). Still miss the show!
Theresa On Tuesday, July 30 at 11:02 am
One of my favorite shows of all time. On some level I enjoyed the stand-alone episodes more than the continuing conspiracy episodes. Great writing, the perfect touch of humor in certain episodes, fabulous characters throughout, and an incredible blending of science, reality, creepiness, faith, sci-fi, quirkiness, and mystery. Love, love, love it!
Joanie from NC On Tuesday, July 30 at 12:29 pm
I "heart" this blog post passionately! "Bad Blood" is my fave ep ever, "The Unnatural" comes in 2nd. The 2 Eugene Tooms episodes made me take my DH to the bathroom with me for many days, scared me into irrationality! I was afraid of what could come through the vents indeed! I truly lived and breathed this show for all but the last season. Fox and Dana forever! And the beloved Lone Gunmen, sniff…
Thank you for the memories….
Suzanne On Tuesday, July 30 at 10:21 pm
Oh my gosh, Tooms!! how could I forget that wonderful little creep!

Oh how I also LOVED the Xfiles, Fox Mulder was yummy!!!! Their movie was equally great, they so need to come back on the air!!!

I was one of the cult following from the very beginning and luckily, had company in a good friend, my parents and a small, demented group of people on a BBS. Remember BBS? Dial up, 2400 baud modem (I figured a 1200 would quickly grow old), clicks and whirrs and everyone thinking you were mad because you talked to people on the internet.
Those were the days…

Wonderful blog Mark! I remain a loyal X-files fan. My favorite show was the one that involved them being on a ship in the 1940's
BB Tyree On Wednesday, July 31 at 4:28 pm
I go back and forth between "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and "Humbug" as my favorite episodes. I was in college in Tuscaloosa when the show first aired, and every Sunday night a whole group would gather to watch it, the location determined by whomever had cable and/or beer at the time.
Clyde Bruckman, "Humbug", "Jose Chung" and "War of the Coprophages" were written by Darin Morgan, who also played the characters Flukeman in "Host" and Eddie "the 'h' is silent" Van Brundht in "Small Potatoes". I wish he had written more.
Peyton-Leigh On Wednesday, July 31 at 9:23 pm
What strange timing!! I just got my husband hooked on the X-Files a few days ago, thanks to Netflix! I watched it from the beginning, in a dark bedroom huddled on the floor so I could lean back against my bed and stare at my small, hand-me-down tv. I was in high school and I found a group of friends in college who shared my love for the show. We would have a big X-Files watching party every week and NO ONE was allowed to talk unless it was during a commercial. Aside from Gillian having to wear the enormous pantsuits, the show was absolutely genius. Now I'm excited to watch more of them!

Mark, you are such a kindred spirit! I loved the article. This is the second article of yours that I have read and both were right in my wheelhouse! "The Unnatural" is one of my favorites, but my absolute favorite is "Bad Blood" (season 5). That one just cracks me up! I love the telling of the same story from two different viewpoints. I should say, I love the WAY they told the story from the two different viewpoints — mocking each other along the way. I miss the X-Files!
Linne On Thursday, August 1 at 12:24 pm
Well, I saw a few episodes when visiting friends who were into it, but we were never big fans of tv and didn't own a set. So I can't say much about the series. I enjoyed the bits I did see, though.
But I have to say that you forgot to mention Richie Valensuela (stage name Richie Valens), who also died in the plane crash with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. I still wonder what music we might have heard if they had lived . . .
Shelli On Thursday, August 1 at 4:54 pm
So many favorite episodes of The X-Files. I used to have the first 5 or 6 seasons on VHS – ha! My husband and I recently watched Jose Chung – he had never seen it – and the writing and cleverness still impress me. The same writing team that wrote Jose Chung also wrote Clyde Bruckman ("Mister, you really need to work on your close"). Such a good show.
This was around the time of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, too. I remember being thrilled at the strong female characters – Scully and Buffy – that dominated my TV watching.
Susan On Thursday, August 1 at 6:26 pm
"[A}nd women with tragic crushes on David Duchovny." Ahem, I think there were at least as many guys who fantasized about Gillian Anderson.
A friend started me watching this series about midway through. I was never a true devotee (or a fan of Duchovny), but I watched many of the episodes. When my nieces got me hooked on Buffy, however, that was another thing altogether. Semi-crazed might sum that up. "NO talking during the Thanksgiving Buffy marathon!" It doesn't sound too terrible unless you knew how old I actually am.
Deby S On Thursday, August 1 at 8:37 pm
My 1st moment was on a Tuesday afternoon. In a bid to find relief from a migraine and the oppressive Western Kansas Summer heat, I went to the movie theater and bought a ticket for the only thing showing. The first X-Files movie. I was the only person in the theater and by the end, I was hooked. Headache long gone.
Within months, I had tracked down and watched every previous episode that had been recorded by a friend onto VHS. By the time the next season started, I was ready. It was my one hour of TV each week, the only thing I watched and when it ended for good, I canceled my cable.
The line that most often comes to my mind: "I've seen the life on this planet, Scully, and that is precisely why I'm looking elsewhere."
Jill On Friday, August 2 at 11:49 pm
Fun! Thanks for the great post – I've been a long time x-phile (I taped every episode on VHS back in the day). My favorite episode has to be Bad Blood, although many of those listed are high on my list. I was lucky enough to see a few episodes filmed once they moved to LA and got autographed from DD, GA and MP. Man, such fond memories…
Mary On Saturday, August 3 at 2:31 pm

Kendall On Sunday, August 4 at 5:30 am
You mention two of my all-time favorite episodes: Beyond the Sea and Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose. That just makes me so happy. I feel like CBFR is pretty off the radar… no one I know seems to really know that episode, so I'm glad to see it get some love here. Some great acting. Great show. I love it.
Mandy On Sunday, August 4 at 6:57 pm
I really loved Bad Blood – It was great humorous insight to the very different perspectives of Mulder and Scully. My all time favorite episode has to be Memento Mori. The scene where Scully and Mulder are hugging in the hospital hallway made me a believer. The X-Files had superb story telling and great character development.. I have yet to watch another sci-fi TV show that can top it.
Penny Mc On Sunday, August 4 at 9:58 pm
I have to say this was one of my favorite shows ever. My husband and I would sit and watch faithfully every Friday night or we would record it. It is hard for me to pin down any one episode as a favorite. I was sad to see it end.
Diane On Monday, August 5 at 10:22 am
My husband and I watched this from episode 1 until it ended. I have since introduced it to my teens because of Netflix. I still like to watch it.

Gillian Anderson has been doing some excellent acting on the new show "Hannibal," based on the famous movie in which Hannibal was played by Sir Anthony Hopkins. But the TV show is about Hannibal's life before he was institutionalized. He is still the same sadistic killer, he has just not been discovered as such. And Gillian Anderson plays Hannibal's mysterious psychiatrist. Great TV drama!

From one X-phile to another, great post! My husband and I are currently rewatching (again) the whole series, from the beginning. They are just as intriguing and curiosity inspiring this time around.
Cindy Hardy On Sunday, August 11 at 2:14 am
My Favorite has to be the Christmas show about the haunted house starring Ed Asner and Lily Tomlin!

I can't believe it has been 20 years! My husband and I are true geeks and loved "X-Files" and watched every episode – well, I refused to watch the end of 'Home' but he did. That was one freaky episode of tv. I remember when I was a kid, watching a show with my dad that really turned me on to science fiction. I little-watched show called "Star Trek". I wanted to be a Vulcan so badly. And many years later when I was in college, I went to see Leonard Nimoy speak on our campus and enjoyed every minute. He was also quite the accomplished poet. We have always loved sci-fi series and "X-Files" was one of our favorites along with "Fringe" and "Lost". Now I want to go back and rewatch all the episodes…maybe even will watch the ending of 'Home' this time.
Jenny On Wednesday, August 21 at 6:17 pm
Loved this show, just heard they were together again at an event and were fairly cordial to each other. So many great one liners "how do I get this off my hand without betraying my cool exterior…"
Adrienne On Thursday, August 22 at 9:31 am
I think it's funny that so many of you mention "Home" as the scariest episode… it is! They only aired it the one time, according my research.It was one of three episodes that I watched with my boyfriend to see if I was interested to watch the entire series. I couldn't sleep for a week! I had to have the light on and I slept with one eye open. Apparently there is a bit of truth in the story, yuck.
I eventually watched the entire series and I LOVE it. I just wanted them to be in love and be happy for pete's sake. Boyfriend laughs at me but so what! I just want people to be in love

Dijaya Website wrote:The 14-acre Tropicana Gardens commercial development will serve the residents of Tropicana Indah Resort Homes and its surrounding areas. It will feature a pedestrian mall lined with palm trees to exude a tropical resort feel. Small and medium businesses with an underground traffic system will be one of the unique features for this development.
Looks like the high-rise component will be facing the golf course, with retail fronting Persiaran Surian. A hotel, service apartments, offices and retail with a GDV of RM1.8 billion:

Word on the street: RM1,000 per sqft.
With Sunway Giza on a downward trend (asking prices dropping, tenants barely threading water) and with two other mega projects in the pipeline (Strand's Red Carpet and Sunway Nexis) I don't see how another massive commercial development is a good idea?

Chasing Hearts Crochet Hat Patterns Flapper Style Cloche Newborn to Adult Large
by Kris Moore
This Valentines Crochet Hat Pattern is soooooooo sweet, and is easy!! It is adorned with curl tailed, crocheted hearts that are appliqued around the top of the brim, with a ribbon that has been weaved in between the hearts. The brim flares out, making this a flapper style Cloche. You can roll the brim up if you would like. I have also added a clip on bow that can be added for extra flare, or left off. In this pattern you will find a tutorial on how to make a pull tie bow, with additional instructions on how to affix it to a clip. There are also pictured to help you along in making the curl tailed heart. You will also find that I have added instruction on how to quickly remove the wire from pre wired ribbon. So many of the prewired ribbons are gorgeous, and soft and pliable enough to weave in between the hearts. Just like the flocked damask, and the zebra, that are in the pictures....so adorable! The design possibilities are endless!!!

April 1, 2010 - Peter Wege officially released his latest environmental book, "Economicology II", in late March, after unveiling the book on his 90th birthday last month. Wege's first book, "Economicology: The Eleventh Commandment," was released in 1998.In "Economicology II," Wege talks about his passion for green living and the need to balance the competing forces of the economy and West Michigan's ecology. It features pivotal quotes from some of Wege's favorite authors in each chapter. Wege discusses the need to create positive thinking and a union of educated nations in a force that can help everyone.Unsurprisingly, Wege's newest book is green from front to back. All 215 pages of the book are printed on recycled paper that was printed on presses that were wind powered. Proceeds from the book, which is selling for $19.95, go to the Sixth Grade Center for Economicology, a program with a public-private partnership with the Wege Foundation. 1,400 copies of the book will be given away to presidents of colleges and universities around the country. The book was published by the Wege Foundation.Throughout the years, Peter Wege has made numerous contributions to Aquinas College with both philanthropy and leadership, The College's Center for Sustainability is under the tutelage of Wege, and Wege sponsors an annual speaker series at Aquinas that promotes awareness of important global issues.Information taken from the Grand Rapids Press.

Much of what was said for the previous recording of Caron by this ensemble seems relevant, so for now, only slightly modified:
This release presents a natural companion to this ensemble's discs devoted to Faugues, and in this case, Caron had received even less attention on disc up to the point they recorded his music.
I find this music far more compelling. There is more rhythmic differentiation and more feeling of excitement & acceleration in the way the movements progress. This is clearly high quality music from this time period, and well worth hearing.
The performance by "The Sound and the Fury" is quite good, intelligently constructed and with enjoyable sonority & articulation. It also has a great energy level, something they often seem to be able to bring to music of this era, and something that seems to fit Caron's voice quite well. This is a highly energetic program.
The more I listen to this music, the more I like it. I am absolutely amazed it lay unrecorded for so long when it had had a critical edition for decades. I really do wonder what failed to attract performers, because this is some very compelling material.
The earlier Caron recording was named my EM Record of the Year for 2009, although it's now been replaced here by the current complete set.
Even subsequently, my esteem continues to rise. Although I had been pointing out that Caron, who had a major reputation at the time, was receiving no attention by performers, I had no idea how much I would end up liking his music. It really came out of nowhere, although by the time I knew a complete recording was coming, I fully expected to enjoy it.
My enthusiasm is mainly centered on the five masses, although the chansons are welcome too. The Sound and the Fury has such command of the masses, as they've been recording so many from the period over these last few years, including of course two of Caron's already. The chansons are a departure, and regular readers will know I've never been a great fan of all-vocal chanson interpretations from this period.

WORCESTER, Mass. - Holy Cross junior captain women's tennis player Kristen Meahl (Falmouth, Maine) has earned second team All-Patriot League honors. She is only the second ever Holy Cross women's tennis player to earn All-Patriot League accolades as Stefanie Raymond earned 1995 first team honors and 1993 second team accolades.
Meahl, who played all of her matches at No. 1 singles, had a 14-12 overall record and a 9-9 dual-match record. Her 14 wins tied for the team-lead. She also had a 10-14 overall record at doubles and an 8-10 dual-match record at No. 1 doubles. She won the No. 1 singles match and the No. 1 doubles match versus Patriot League opponent Lafayette as the Crusaders won the match, 4-3. At the Siena Invitational she won co-sportsmanship honors. Meahl has a 32-33 overall singles record for her career and a 32-38 doubles record. She is also a two-time member of the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
The Crusaders went 10-8 overall as this was the seventh time over the last 10 years that Holy Cross had at least a .500 record and was the fifth winning season. Over the last 10 years with Mike Lucas as coach his teams are 101-76.
