Matt here: This update page is very much behind schedule, my apologies for that.

I first wanted to address the Red Cross banner that one can find on the main page. As soon as the earth quake in Haiti occurred, I very much wanted to help, and immediately contacted that great people of IBG Inc, to see if they had anything planned. they didn't, but they offered a list of websites that Frank Spotnitz strongly supports. In light of the recent developments in Chile, this seemed relevant to bring this up.

For both Haiti and Chile, you can contact The Red Cross through IBG here.

Or you can reach, Partners in Health, one of Frank Spotnitz's charities.

Or Katherine Fugate's web site, one of the sites that Gillian Anderson highly recommends, and a site that offers a number of options.

I just wanted to briefly contextualize, now that it has been a several months since the Haiti earthquake. I hope people understand that the infrastructure in Haiti was completely destroyed, and it's going to a long process to rebuild that country from the ground up, so please continue to assist.

Onto other news and I heard this directly, Raskolnikov's Book, LAX-Files is impending and should be released in a couple of weeks!

We also have a new article that I wrote for the Paranormal Omnibus, a piece on Spontaneous Human Combustion.

Some additional exciting news is that today, we just conducted an interview with author Robert Shearman about his book about X-Files, that should be up within the week!

Thank you and keep visiting the Lexicon.

Matt here: A new series of articles have been launched on the Case Analysis page about the science of Forensics, Mimic's first article, an introduction on the subject can be found here.

More to come, thank you for visiting the Lexicon.

Matt here: New pages are up for the Historical Timeline, and this has been long over due, apologies for the delays, the non-myth and myth for 1992-1994 are now up.

As much as I try to be diligent about it, there were a couple of people that I missed in my New Years Thank you list, without further delay.

I must thank Matt Hurwitz, for helping to secure the Bob Goodwin Interview, as well as generously donating exclusive material of his interviews with Kim Manners.

I must thank Tom Lavagnino for his continuing efforts to arrange and secure an interview with David Nutter.

Lastly, I also must thank Angie C for her continued support.

Thank you and keep visiting the Lexicon. More great material to come!

Well, and yet another year has gone by, and we're back with our little tradition of New Years Eve Thank you's. Some might wonder why we do this, after all, most sites will offer up lists of the biggest events, or best of lists, but I feel that an acknowledgment of thanks seems more fitting. There's a lot of people who work behind the scenes, faces that come and go, as well as new friends, and each of them have somehow helped to shape what the Lexicon has become.

XScribe has continued to be an incredible help, and ally, I continue to owe her a debt for sticking with this venture even if it's been a challenging year in some respects.

Jill continues to go above and beyond. I approached her with an incredible challenge near the start of the year, and she has managed to commit the time with good cheer and grace.

I must personally thank Adam Vadnais for his continued support and counsel, even if we have long moved on from our project together, his availabilty is appreciated.

I'd also like to thank Dean Okazaki from Fox's Home Entertainment Legal, for his patience and counsel, it's deeply appreciated.

I must personally thank Jana Fain, not only making time for her wonderful interview, but for her support, friendship, and really coming through over the summer; her presence at Big Light will be missed.

I owe a huge thank you for Robert Goodwin, for his incredible generosity, availabilty, and for delivering one of the best interviews to grace the lexicon as of yet.

A special thank you must go out to Alison Groves from the Big Light Social Network, for her continued friendship, support, and for allowing me play around with Big Light's new toy before release, the Wiki feature! It was an honor.

I must thank bellefleur and David Morris for their efforts this past year, and for their endless patience, I am well aware there's been some bumps, and they have been gracious.

Diego Z has been an incredible help this year and has made a huge difference, he's really gone above and beyond, and I am in his debt.

Two individuals really came back into the fold this year in a big way, and I appreciate their commitment. Chris Knowles, and his incredible Secret Sun site, as well as Red Scully who delivered her top notch X-Con report.

Joe McBrayer has remained a steady friend to the Lexicon, and has continued to deliver some great work as well as enthusiasm. Thank you.

A trifecta of thanks must go to a group of people who has been helping with a very special and important project. Mark Hayden has remained an incredible friend to the Lexicon, as well as helping to open a door to a person who could be of great importance in the future. James McLean also shared his support, and friendship. Lastly, Kimon from Eat The Corn was one of the earliest people to become involved with the above project, and his support, as well as friendship remains in high regard.

I also must thank Dietrich Johnson for his cooperation.

I also must thank Raskolnikov, who was not only busy finishing up her own fan book, but managed to take time to deliver her great IBG report, she has increasingly shown herself to be quite invaluable, and she's in my debt.

Shivani Saran has been an incredible help at the Lexicon's Facebook group page, and I continue to look forward to her help in the future.

To Karen, Viridian, Philiater, MullySculder, Polly, Invisigoth, as well as Sarah, Erin, Terry, Tere, and Helene, thank you for your wonderful artwork that continues to grace the site.

I'd like to thank Nicky and Aliatope1013 for their continued assistance with the Lexicon Forum.

Avi, Tiffany, and Holly from X-Files News has continued to be an incredible help, and I appreciate their friendship, goodwill, and support.

Mike Marek from The X-Files Timeline, is another that I must thank for his great understanding, patience, and support, it was more than I expected.

I should also thank for the continued and patient cooperation of Damien from The X-Files Ultimate, Aly from Ask Dr. Scully, Ghostfreak from the X-Files Forum.net. Megan from XF Roadrunners, and Richard and his staff at CC2K.

I'd like to thank everyone who has friended us at Twitter, or joined our Facebook group, the list is too long to mention here, but it's appreciated.

The Lexicon Blog is still the baby of the bunch, but for all those who or follow and visit, I thank you, we'll try to keep it interesting.

I'd like to thank all of the new members who registered at the Lexicon Forum, many of whom have been longtime supporters and friends to the Lexicon and many are new friends. The fan success of the Lexicon and the Lexicon Forum is in no doubt because of you:

Raskolnikov has requested that the following information be posted. From Raskolnikov's statement:

This is fan made book dedicated to the memory of the late and great television director, Kim Manners, featuring location information for The X-Files: Fight the Future and Seasons 6-9 of The X-Files as well as interviews with the cast, crew, and fans.

All of the books profits will go to the American Cancer Society, the charity of the Manner's Family choosing.

Anticipated release date for the book is January 2010.

There's a Facebook page with further information.

There's a lot more material around the corner, thank you for visiting the Lexicon.

Matt here: One of our staffers, aside from his contributions with the Lexicon, has a couple of important outside projects. Joe McBrayer has been involved with the Millennium virtual season fan driven series, and it will be making it's debut next September, 3rd, in 2010. But they are in need of potential writers, if interested, please go to the following page.

Joe also runs a baseball blog that we would like those who are interested to visit.

While that might not seem relevant, bear in mind that Chris Carter is a huge baseball fan, and you never know, he himself could always visit Joe's blog.

More to come, keep visiting the Lexicon.

Matt here: We are proud to present a new exclusive, Raskolnikov's report about the IBG Event in Los Angeles.

Furthermore, we are working on securing an interview with Director David Nutter about his years of working on the first three seasons of The X-Files, nothing is locked down as of yet, but we hope this will happen before the end of this year. We thought we should ask fans if they might have some questions.

For more information, please visit here.

We will only consider questions if they are posted on the Lexicon Forum. If you have not done so, please register with the Lexicon Forum, it's a great place, registration should only take a few seconds. Questions could be directed at my E-mail, but, in fairness, I'd rather have questions posted on our forum, I hope everyone understands.

Thanks and keep visiting the Lexicon.

Matt here: Another round of new material. Red Scully wrote an excellent report about attending the X-Con in Berlin.

The Werewolf article featured on the Omnibus has been expanded with more material, as well as a format adjustment, which we think people will very much like.

Erica has produced another video promo for LAX-Files that is quite moving tribute to Kim Manners, and made it's debut over last weekend's IBG event.

A report on the IBG event is forthcoming, as well as another ep guide review. You can expect to see a lot more changes and new additions around the corner.

Thank you and keep visiting the Lexicon.

Matt here: We have a number of new articles, and more around the corner.

A belated announcement, but Bellefleur's review for Colony is now up in the episode guide. A good friend of the Lexicon, Erica,  has requested that we mention the promo for her new book, LAX-Files, the book's proceeds are going to charity, in tribute to Kim Manners, it's a great cause, and should be an interesting book about, nearly, all of the locations used during the LA years of The X-Files.

Joe McBrayer has written his second article for the Omnibus, about Immortality (The Fountain of Youth), please take a look.

We have an exclusive report about the X-Con in Germany, and that is pending and should be up soon. Polly created more art for the character dossiers. Thanks for visiting the lexicon, a lot more material and changes this month are coming!

Matt Here: The Lexicon is proud to present our new interview with Jana Fain, who was up until recently Frank Spotnitz's assistant.
