Disclaimer: I do not own Infinite Stratos or [Prototype].
This Fanfic DOES NOT disregard [Prototype 2]. It gives an explanation of how Alex survived and perhaps recharacterizes him in such a way that makes him closer to his [Prototype] persona, but the Second Outbreak still happened in this fanfic.
Note: This Fanfic assumes the first outbreak happened in 2009 (since that is when [Prototype] was released) and the second happened in 2010 (since the second is supposed to occur 14 months after the first).
Review Please!
Prologue: Awake
"He is awake!"
A flurry of lights and sounds assault the eyes of one Dan Gotanda. Naturally, he is confused… more so than usual.
"What happened…?" He thought. Taking a good look at his surroundings, he found himself surrounded by people in lab coats, and the familiar faces of his family members.
The people in lab coats were astonished, while his family members were in tears.
This only served to confuse him even more. Did he just get resurrected or something?
"What happened…?" He asked himself again, trying to will himself to remember just what caused everyone to look at him in such a strange way.
Trying to get up, he finds himself gently pushed back down by a corpselike person. He's also wearing a lab coat. Dan did not notice this person's presence before. He must have arrived recently.
"Don't get up, you need to rest," said the corpselike person.
Dan was about to ask the person what happened to him before the person continued.
"You're in the hospital, kid. You got multiple stabs at your abdomen and one stab at your lungs defending your sister here from would-be rapists. If it worries you, she escaped safely," the corpselike man explained, as if reading his mind. "She called the police after she escaped, and they found you bloodied and dying," he continued.
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Dan asked the corpselike man in the most polite manner he can.
"This is the person who saved your life!" said one very enthusiastic man. Dan immediately deduced that this man is a doctor, since he's in a hospital.
"His name is Doctor Mercer! God, he's a miracle worker!" the man continued. Dan now realizes that this enthusiastic man is no other than the person who yelled "He is awake!" the first time he opened his eyes.
Dan isn't a genius, but even HE knows that you simply CAN'T survive disembowelment AND a puncture in the lung, ESPECIALLY if not treated immediately. Before he had a chance to ask, however, a blob with red hair tackle-hugged him.
"I'm sorry Onee-san! I won't be mean to you again!" cries the red blob. Dan finally notices that the red blob is none other than his sister, Ran Gotanda. She is in tears. Her, and all of his family members; His mom, his dad, hell, even his grandpa.
"Interesting," Dan mused, "I never remembered Ran crying for me even once."
Dan turns his head towards that of Doctor Mercer's. He now notices aside from his corpselike complexion, he has brown hair and blue eyes.
"Thank you, Doctor Mercer," said Dan gratefully. He did save his life, after all.
"No problem kid," replies the Doctor.
A sudden urge assaulted Dan. The urge to move… to run… to scale walls… to do things he knows he can't do even when he's healthy. And yet the urge seems instinctual…
"When can I be discharged, doc?" asks Dan. The urge is overpowering him. He needs to get out of this confined space, fast.
"In a week or so," replies Doctor Mercer. Dan immediately cringes at the thought of being trapped in a small room for an entire week.
"Not yet," soothes a voice in his head, calming his desires to get out of the place, "Soon, perhaps tonight, but not yet."
Dan notes that the voice seems eerily reminiscent to that of Doctor Mercer's.
The Doctor nods to him, as if confirming that the voice indeed is his.
"Why?" asked a hooded figure bound on a wheelchair in a confused tone.
"A lot of reasons," replied Alex Mercer.
"You used Blacklight to save him. Why did you try so hard? I know his genes are compatible, but his background is simply unsuitable for any of your goals," pressed the hooded figure.
"I know, I know," replied Alex Mercer, voice sounding tired. Of course, Mercer is Blacklight incarnate, he does not tire at all, but even then human mannerisms seem to be maintained entirely out of habit for him.
"Then why?" asked the hooded figure.
"He has a sister," Alex murmured, answering the question as if it pained him.
"Ah," said the hooded figure, as if that explained everything to him, "To be honest with you, I thought that you wouldn't save him because he has a sister, not the other way around. After all, Dana did betray you…"
"That was a long time ago," Alex replied, "Plus, she had a very good reason for doing so. Not to mention I was a jackass at the time."
"Ah yes, the second outbreak," said the hooded figure, "I still don't understand why you sent a biomass replica to fight him and lose, instead of just killing him with your capabilities."
Alex sighed.
"I wanted to create a perfect world for Dana. I did it in order to protect her, to make her happy. When I found out she betrayed me… well… I simply lost the drive to do it, I guess. Besides, I won't win if I face Heller at that time."
"And why is that?"
"Heller had a family to protect and revenge to exact. I had… nothing. I disappointed the only family I cared about and I have no goals that I had a personal stake in. I knew he was going to win… because I won against Greene and Blackwatch before using the exact same formula; Dana to protect and Gentek to exact my revenge on. That is why I sent a biomass replica with memories of the vault's location. Because I knew I was going to lose."
"Did you regret that?"
"Trying to conquer the world? Yeah I did."
"No. Did you regret sending that Biomass replica instead of simply throwing the fight? Did you regret deciding to live with the burden of your sins instead of dying for them?"
Alex paused, thinking of a suitable reply.
"No, I did not," Alex finally replied, "I never liked taking the easy way out anyhow."
A chuckle from the hooded figure is heard.
"So, what's next? What are you going to do with the boy?"
"Well… I'll train him, I guess. I don't think he'll abuse those powers. He has a family after all. If he does well enough, maybe I'll recruit him to Blacklight, if he so desires."
Another pause, this time from the hooded figure, occurred. The hooded figure then, the first time in this conversation, turned his head from staring of the space beyond the railing of the rooftops and onto the blue eyes of Alex Mercer.
"You're actually giving him a choice in the matter?" asked the hooded figure incredulously, staring at Alex as if he just consumed someone.
"Aren't I allowed?"
It is 8'o clock at night.
His family left already, after accompanying him for ten hours straight. They had a business to run after all. Dan understood that.
Besides, he needs their absence right now. He needs to escape this hospital and take a jog or something. "I'm sure I can go out, take a jog, and return without getting caught," he thought.
"Not yet," said the voice of Doctor Mercer, "Too many people still walking around, you'll get caught."
So he waited.
Three hours later, Doctor Mercer enters his darkened room. The lights weren't on.
"We're going out. You need a change of clothes, preferably those for jogging," Doctor Mercer said.
"So I wasn't hallucinating about the voice… he can actually read my mind," Dan thought. He really would have been surprised, if not the fact that this world has physics defying exoskeletons powered by infinite power sources. Mind reading is tame compared to that.
"Change your clothes. We can talk later," grunted Doctor Mercer, as if his thoughts annoyed him.
"But I don't have a change of clothes," thought Dan. Before he could voice his thoughts, however, Mercer interrupted him.
"Imagine yourself wearing the clothes you had when you got stabbed," instructed Doctor Mercer. Dan did what he was told, shutting his eyes to focus. Something is telling him that the Doctor isn't crazy and that something is bound to happen.
When he opened his eyes, he's wearing his clothes when he got stabbed under the hospital gown.
"What the fuck?" he thought.
"Dismiss those clothes. This time, do not close your eyes."
Dan did what he was told. He was, quite frankly, freaked out when his clothes suddenly became black-red worm like structures and entered his skin.
"What the fuck!" he said, this time not bothering to hide his thoughts. If his suspicions are correct, the Doctor could read his mind anyway. Thus, it simply does not make any sense to hide his astonishment.
"It does. What if someone heard that?" Mercer suddenly opined, confirming once and for all that he can indeed read Dan's mind.
"Oh…" replied Dan, his mind still trying to comprehend what the hell is going on.
"Curious? Then summon your clothes, take of that hospital gown and meet me at the rooftops. I'll explain there."
When Alex Mercer left for the rooftops, Dan was only a few steps behind him, already in his clothes and out of his hospital gown.
"So, Dan Gotanda, correct? My name is Alex Mercer. Call me Alex, I hate formalities," Alex started when they arrived at the rooftops.
"Alright, Alex-san" replies Dan.
"I'll explain what's going on here. But first, let's take a jog."
Alex vaulted over the rooftop railing and fell to the ground with a thud. Dan simply stood there, staring and wondering how in the world he survived a five story fall.
"Come on, jump. Surviving falls are just the tip of the iceberg of what you can do now."
Dan hesitated, but he believes he could trust Alex. He jumped while shutting his eyes.
Another thump.
Dan opened his eyes. He flexed his fingers and stretched his legs, checking what bone he broke. He found out he broke none, although instinctually he knew he wouldn't be hurt.
Alex motioned Dan to follow him. Alex broke into a run, faster than what normal humans could possibly run at, and Dan followed. He was mildly surprised that he could keep up, but seeing that he survived a five story drop, he was kind of expecting it.
What he did not expect was, however, when Alex ran up an eight story building. Dan's rational mind tried to stop himself from crashing to the wall, but his instincts screamed to keep on running, as if he's made for this. Dan obeyed his instincts.
He was freaked out when he ran up the building vertically, just like what Alex Mercer had done.
Scaling the building, he reached the rooftop. Dan expected Alex to stop and give him an explanation at this point. Alex however, simply continued sprinting and jumped to another building.
"What the fuck?" grunted Dan. He can't seriously be expecting him to be able to leap that far a distance, right?
"No harm done with trying," thought Dan. He is, after all, capable of surviving lethal falls without a single scratch. There is not point for him to worry about plummeting down to the Earth. He is worried, however, on whether or not he could keep up with Alex.
Gathering all his strength at his legs, Dan jumped.
The wind rushing past his ears was enough indication that he really did jump freakishly high.
He did not quite jump as high or as long as Alex, though. Alex cleared the jump and landed on the target 16 story building. Dan smashed onto the 12th floor. "Thank God I crashed onto a wall and not a window," he thought. Dan immediately shifted his position before gravity does its work, and ran up the rest of the building.
After leaping building to building, they finally arrived at the outskirts of a forest. Alex sprinted into it, Dan following him closely behind.
After they were deep enough into the forest, Alex stopped. Turning around and facing Dan, Alex grinned.
"Welcome, Kid, to the top of the food chain."
Blacklight is an organization Alex made for purposes unknown. It's named after (obviously) the Blacklight virus.
Alex has his own hivemind now, used to manage the local and worldwide communication of his Prototype agents. It acts like an internet chat service, really, just using thoughts instead of typed words.
The wheelchair-bound hooded figure is an OC. He's not going to appear much in this story.

Pyxis: The Discovery
by K.C. Neal
Series: Pyxis #1
Published: October 2, 2011
Genres: Paranormal Romance, Young Adult
Format: eBook (218 pages)
Source: For Review
Corinne lives an average teenage life working at her dad's cafe, hanging out with her best friend, and trying to forget a falling-out with her almost-boyfriend Mason. Things take a strange turn when she uses her late grandmother's food dyes for a bake sale, and her customers suddenly find her irresistibly alluring. Then she discovers she and Mason are haunted by the same dreams of a dark force that consumes everything in its path . . .
I liked the originality of this book. It felt like one of the few books that really deserves the title "paranormal" (you know, the clairvoyant kind) because of it's unique combination of dreams and reality. I can't think of any other books to compare it to. The mystery in this book was great. It kept me guessing and wanting to find out more. My biggest complaint was that I felt like the plot meandered a lot. There are major, mysterious, and interesting things happening but we had to wait for it while we went to her driver's test. It frustrated me. I felt like there were two plot lines competing with each other: her normal life and her paranormal life. It really slowed the pace down and a lot of the time I found myself wanting to get back to the paranormal plot. Maybe she was trying to blend the normal and the supernatural, but it just didn't work for me. And then just as it got really good, the story ended! I'm dying to read more! K.C. Neal has set up what I think will be an amazing series.
Content Rating Medium, for language and teen drinking.
I received this book for review from the author, K.C. Neal in exchange for an honest review. I was not told what to say, I was not paid to write this review and all the opinions expressed are my own.

In the aftermath of the coup d'etat in Thailand on May 22, 2014, Focus on the Global South states our belief in the following principles:
Link : http://focusweb.org/content/statement-principles-thailand-s-crisis
Climate change negotiations are being dominated by irresponsible states, polluters and corporations that only care about current operations and the furtherance of profits through more fossil fuel exploitation and in new carbon markets which are destroying forests, soil, wetlands, rivers, mangroves and oceans, and financializing and privatizing ecosystems and nature itself on which our lives depend.
This was more than evident in the last UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) in Warsaw, Poland where parallel to the climate negotiations there was a summit of the coal industries shamelessly promoting the lie of "clean coal." In Warsaw, the countries (past and present) most responsible for emissions did absolutely nothing to change the key socio-economic causes of climate crisis such as trade and investment, energy, transport or agriculture policies nor did they attempt to genuinely cut emissions at the source. The public funds pledged for adaptation and to the green climate fund were simply a joke compared to the funds allocated to subsidize dirty energy or to rescue banks and the financial system.
This situation led to the walk out of most of civil society organizations from the Warsaw climate talks to raise awareness and to shift the focus away from 'inside' negotiations to mobilizing people and frontline communities resisting polluting industries in order to send a clear message: People and communities around the world are already implementing climate-safe, local energy alternatives and governments should listen to them and stop implementing policies that favor polluting corporations and their market interests.
Six months have passed since Warsaw and the situation has worsened. The climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany (4-15 June) are not focused on how to reduce emissions to 38 Gt of CO2e by 2020 and to avoid burning the planet with emissions that will be approximately 57 Gt of CO2e by 2020. If we lose this decade, there will be no going back from climate chaos. No future agreement will be able to undo the damage of the emissions that are now being sent to the atmosphere. The time to act is now, there is absolutely no more time and energy to waste on false solutions that maintain business as usual.
Furthermore, Ban Ki Moon's UN Climate Summit to take place New York in September, has been captured by corporations who will enjoy the precious access now expected of big business, including big polluters. This access deepens the illegitimate and dangerous corporate control of public policy spaces.
Climate change is not simply an environmental issue; it is the result of an unjust economic system that is in the business of pursuing endless growth, concentrating wealth in the hands of a few and over-exploiting nature to the point of collapse. To really address the climate crisis, overexploitation of nature and people - currently led by polluting corporations whose only priority is the maximization of their profits – should be immediately stopped. The proliferation of extractive and dirty industries, fracking and tar sands projects, privatization through natural disaster reconstruction projects and others are engendered by a capitalist system that needs to be changed. The climate crisis won't be solved without addressing the root causes of climate change.
"System change not climate change" means among other measures to leave more than two thirds of fossil fuel reserves under the soil; ban all new exploration and exploitation of oil, tar sands, shale oil and shale gas, coal, uranium, and gas; end the dominance of export-based industrial forms of food production, and promote small-scale farming and an agriculture system that ensures food sovereignty; support the development of local sustainable economies, based on communities participation, equity and protection of natural resources; dismantle the war industry and military infrastructure; reduce working hours and create more employment to restore nature; and stop and revert corporate driven trade and investment agreements. [1]
"System change not climate change" is also the struggle against false solutions to climate change like public subsidies to "clean coal" and Carbon Capture and Storage projects, carbon markets, the privatization of forests and biodiversity (like REDD), "climate smart agriculture", geoengineering, synthetic biology, industrial agrofuels, GMOs and others.
"System change not climate change" requires that the WTO and Free trade agreements framework, the global empire of transnational corporations and banks be dismantled. Only a society that has the type of democratic control over policies, resources, finance and the means of production which is based on a fair and equitable distribution of all work (including care work and migrant workers), indigenous and women's rights and respects the sovereignty of the people will be able to guarantee economic, social and environmental justice. System Change requires an end of the patriarchal society in order to guarantee women's rights in all aspects of life.
Many proposals already contain key elements needed to build new systemic alternatives like Buen Vivir, defending the commons, respecting Indigenous territories and community conserved areas, the rights of Mother Earth – rights of Nature, food sovereignty, prosperity without growth, de-globalization, the happiness index, the duties to and rights of future generations, the Peoples Agreement of Cochabamba and others.
The climate crisis is a great threat that can only be addressed by joining social, democratic and environmental movements and struggles. The struggles are all on fronts, both outside and inside the climate negotiations, but they all need to follow a common strategy and to be focused on the same goal: changing the system in order to arrest climate change. Whether inside or outside, efforts must be made to end business as usual and stop the corporate takeover of the planet and its resources. There will be no going back from the climate chaos if we do nothing to confront and challenge the inaction of our governments hijacked by polluting corporations. It is crucial for us to all strengthen our concrete struggles on the ground and focus our energies on changing the system.
The time is over for weak strategies, half-measures or empty promises designed to perpetuate polluters and their business as usual ways. If we are to reclaim our future, we must change the present – change the system and not the climate. For that, we will need everyone.

2009 Jeep Wrangler - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Love it
By simplefello on
Vehicle2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4dr SUV 4WD (3.8L 6cyl 6M)
ReviewI traded my 200 Silverado single cab z- 71 for this vehicle because of a growing family. I love the jeep and have ever since I rented one for a week. This thing gets so many looks and is very capable off road. I really love that it can fit two car seats in it and I can still feel like a real man...lol.
Best FeaturesI love the 3-piece hard top, the axles and 4.10 gears. I also can't wait until it's lost its life as a family vehicle so I can transform it into something much more superior.
Worst FeaturesI would like to see a v-8, or even a larger v-6. I'm averaging about 15.7mpg, and would like to see that improved or stay the same with more power. My 5.3L vortec v8 got 14-15mpg and had way more power and was a heavier vehicle.

rUBI DIDN'T let me down ON his BIG DAY
I'M hoping to return from injury next week, so I squeezed in a visit home from my base in Chantilly last weekend. I had been on the phone to Robbie Hennessy to sort out passports for a couple of horses that I bought for him recently.
The reports were good ahead of Rubi Light's tilt at the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown last Sunday. Rubi was the first horse that I bought for Robbie, so I was keen to see how he'd fare on his big day. He didn't disappoint.
Andrew Lynch reported that he felt he would improve for the run, which was encouraging ahead of another serious test in the Lexus Chase. I don't envisage Rubi having any problems over three miles at Leopardstown.
When I sold him to Robbie, it was as a staying chaser and his pedigree backs that up. It's only in the past few years that I have branched into bloodstock, but it is something I enjoy.
My fiancee Louisa Brassey specialises in horses' pedigrees and conformation, while I focus on watching races and riding the horses to get a feel for them. All being well, we plan to start up a bloodstock company in the coming weeks, so it's an exciting time for us.
That said, I will continue to ride for as long as I can. Since June last year, I have suffered an array of fractures. First off, I broke two bones behind my nose near the upper jaw area. The following October, I fractured three vertebrae in four places, as well as two more fractures in the pelvis area.
Within weeks of coming back in December, a horse knocked a chunk off my elbow and that needed surgery.
Since June this year, I have broken my lower arm twice. I am due for an X-ray on the arm on Monday. It feels perfect now, so I expect to be cleared to ride ahead of what is a busy period here in France.
Chantilly is a massive training centre, with gallops meandering up through a big forest. At this time of the year, though, Pau and Cagnes Sur Mer in the south is where all the racing is.
We're even racing on Christmas Day in Pau. Like many trainers, Francois Cottin, who is married to the former Irish trainer Irene Oakes, whom I ride for, stables horses down there, so you'll have stable staff, jockeys, trainers and racecourse personnel spending Christmas Day at the races.
At this stage, I'm all revved up, eager to get going ahead of the new year. Francois was champion trainer here in 2008, and there are only a few trainers in Ireland or England that could have given me that kind of opportunity.
I moved here full-time in 2009. Francois' yard is just a kilometre from where I live and Paris is a 25-minute train journey, so I often take a trip up there on a day off.
At the moment, with the horses that are racing based in Pau, we are concentrating on putting the two-year-olds through their paces in Chantilly ahead of the three-year-old hurdles and chases in the spring.
They start early here. Often, there's a non-thoroughbred influence in the horses' breeding and I think that hardens them and makes them a little precocious.
Speaking of precocious, my all-conquering sister Nina received a presentation for her success in this year's Irish Grand National at the Irish Racing Awards on Monday.
You could see the pride in my parents' faces as Nina won the Outstanding Achievement category.
Our family has a long association with the National. My brother Paul has also won it and I remember breathing a sigh of relief that I had kept it going when I won on Point Barrow in 2006.

Cris Cyborg finally secured UFC gold, finishing Tonya Evinger in the third round for the vacant female featherweight belt. Cyborg, a former Invicta FC champion, and Evinger, who currently holds the Invicta FC bantamweight title, were fighting to replace Germaine de Randamie atop the division.
Early in the third round, it was Cyborg who caught Evinger, stopping her with a series of knees.
Former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler returned, scoring a decision victory vs. Donald Cerrone in a much-talked-about fight. "Ruthless" had not fought since dropping the belt last year to Tyron Woodley, while the loss was the second straight for "Cowboy."
Volkan Oezdemir served notice to the rest of the light heavyweight division, knocking out top contender Jimi Manuwa in just 42 seconds. The 27-year-old has now defeated Ovince Saint Preux, Misha Cirkunov and Manuwa since signing with the promotion earlier this year.

Davao City - A photo posted by Angela Joey Go of the "Binay Country" tarpaulin at the South Coastal Road on her Facebook account is now making the rounds of social and news media.
Just walking distance away from San Pedro Calungsod templete where the final Mass of the 51st International Eucharistic Congress (EIC) was held, a tarpaulin that read "Welcome to Binay Country" was put up along South Coastal Road on Sunday morning.
"Hello! Can anybody get this streamer out of the highway leading to SRP before this afternoon's International Eucharistic Congress Mass? This is placed just before the bridge for people coming from Talisay to see. After what happened during the Sinulog, Rama has become worse. Can't Rama and Binay show respect?" posted Angela Joey Go on her Facebook account on Sunday noon.
Acting Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella immediately ordered the the removal of the Binay tarpaulin after it earns negative reactions online.
"I immediately ordered our Probe (Prevention, Restoration, Order, Beautification and Enhancement) team to remove the tarp. And any other tarp for that matter," Labella told Inquirer.
Meanwhile, suspended Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, an ally of Binay and UNA Visayas head, said he had nothing to do the tarpaulin at the SRP which was apparently timed for the closing Mass of the IEC.
The Mass drew in at least a million devotees, including the 15,000 delegates from 72 countries.

text: FXStreet (Delhi) – Research Team at Danske Bank, suggests that growth in the euro area slowed marginally to 0.3% q/q in Q3, down from 0.4% q/q in Q2, but the latest survey indicators point to stronger growth in Q4 and we look for the recovery to strengthen in 2016 on the back of a turn in the global inventory cycle. Key Quotes "ECB's 'menu' of monetary policy easing in December disappointed our expectations and those of the market but, nevertheless, we believe it marked the end of easing from the ECB. In the near term, base effects should lift inflation to around 1.0% as early as January, while the economic data should confirm the ECB's small upward revision to its projections for activity. Later on, the quickly declining unemployment rate should receive more attention, as it will eventually put upward pressure on wages and core inflation." "A key risk to our call for 'the end of ECB easing' is that Draghi will eventually be forced to lower the core inflation forecast, which, in our view, is still too optimistic. Related to this, the ECB will be challenged by EUR appreciation pressure (which we continue to look for) and the negative impact on inflation." For more information, read our latest forex news.

Nicholas Delbanco recently wrote a piece for the New York Times about revisiting Provence with his wife, 40 years after his honeymoon there. We enjoyed it so much we had to share it with you here. . .
He began the article with "The difference, for the traveler, between a first and repeated visit is crucial. To "go back" is not "to go." Yet old, familiar places retain a kind of magic, and all the more so when the memories are shared. For our 40th wedding anniversary year, my wife, Elena, and I returned to the place where our marriage began: the South of France. We planned to visit old haunts, the area we'd once called home."
Delbanco is the author of "Running in Place: Scenes from the South of France," which is a commentary on three decades of travel in Provence, sometimes with friends, sometimes with a lover, then with his wife and daughters. This latest article in the NY Times is more of the same – we love how he juxtaposes his early escapades (friend to the author James Baldwin, neighbor to Julia Child, penniless newlywed and deliverer of propane tank) with the luxury and pleasure of this recent trip.
Some places are recognizable and comforting to him, others have disappeared, and a few have improved. The landscape and the artwork are still breathtaking, the people still gracious and welcoming.
"Eating well is the best revenge," DelBlanco says near the end of the article, and he is generous in sharing the list of restaurants and inns he visited on this trip.
Travel is almost always delicious – the sights, the meals, the sounds and the scents. Travel to Provence, we believe, is the most delicious way to go, and DelBlance does a great job of convincing us it's time to go back. Been to Provence lately? Ready to go again?

Amateur boxing's knock 'em, sock 'em competition the Golden Gloves has been reeling in athletic young badasses since the '20s. The man who started it all, Chicago Tribune Sports Editor Arch Ward, probably didn't foresee that the one-time newspaper-sponsored boxing tournament he spearheaded in 1923 (before the sport was banned in Illinois) would give talented bare-knuckle bar fighters and boxer wannabes an arena in which to become the next Joe Louis or Evander Holyfield, but the newbie battles endured against all odds.
This week, amateur hopefuls from flyweight to super-heavyweight fight for a chance at prestigious titles and pre-pro hype and glory. To be sure, the Cow Palace is a far cry from the glitz of luxe arenas, but there's still bound to be enough ass-kicking, foulmouthed trainers, battered faces, and brash attitude on hand to excite even the most die-hard of old-school boxing loyalists. Bouts begin nightly at 7 at Geneva & Santos, S.F. Admission is $8-25; call 404-4111 or visit www.cowpalace.com.

Hills too daunting for a morning cycle? Venture out on the zoo's "March BikeAbout" tour instead -- no inclines, just drowsy beasts. The Schwinn safari begins at 8:30 a.m. at the San Francisco Zoo, 1 Zoo (at Skyline). Admission is $15-20; call 753-7073 or visit www.sfzoo.org.

Star Light, Star Bright
The Morrison Planetarium's closed until 2008, forcing dedicated stargazers to go the old-fashioned route under the real, live nighttime sky. Meet astronomer Bing Quock for an expert 411 on celestial happenings with "Star Trek: The Spring Sky Night Walk," an easy meander through the fragrant footpaths of the Strybing Arboretum and Botanical Gardens -- not that you'll pay much attention to the foliage, what with the brilliant distractions of Aries setting, Leo rising, the waxing moon, and, if you're lucky, the five "naked-eye" planets. Meet at 6:30 p.m. at Ninth Avenue and Lincoln Way in Golden Gate Park, S.F. Admission is $10 for individuals, $16 per two-child family; call 661-1316 or visit www.strybing.org.

Basketball's Big Man
Oliver Chin's biography The Tao of Yao relates how Chinese NBA star Yao Ming used his spiritual background to deal with the often-unenlightened American media (not to mention the mental anguish of crushing his foes on the court). The author analyzes his subject further at "Yao Ming and the World of Basketball," a conversation with USF alum/former NBA player and coach Bill Cartwright, starting at 5:45 p.m. at USF's Lone Mountain Campus, Room 100, Turk & Parker, S.F. Admission is free; call 422-6357 or visit www.usfca.edu.

Chuck Palahniuk Quotes About RealityQuotes about: Reality
It's creepy, but here we are, the Pilgrims, the crackpots of our time, trying to establish our own alternate reality. To build a world out of rocks and chaos. What it's going to be, I don't know. Even after all that rushing around, where we've ended up is the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. And maybe knowing isn't the point. Where we're standing right now, in the ruins in the dark, what we build could be anything.
Beginning with Santa Claus as a cognitive exercise, a child is encouraged to share the same idea of reality as his peers. Even if that reality is patently invented and ludicrous, belief is encouraged with gifts that support and promote the common cultural lies. The greatest consensus in modern society is our traffic systems. The way a flood of strangers can interact, sharing a path, almost all of them traveling without incident. It only takes one dissenting driver to create anarchy.
Rant Casey used to say, "No matter what happens, it's always now..." Talk about cryptic. I think what Rant meant was, we live in the present moment of reality, and no matter what's come before, no matter how much we loved a person or a dog, when it attacks us we'll react to that moment of danger.
The only funny part about Colonial Dunsboro is maybe it's too authentic, but for all the wrong reasons. This whole crowd of losers and nutcases who hide out here because they can't make it in the real world, in real jobs — isn't this why we left England in the first place? To establish our own alternate reality. Weren't the Pilgrims pretty much the crackpots of their time? For sure, instead of just wanting to believe something different about God's love, the losers I work with want to find salvation through compulsive behaviors.

Fairy Bower PoolTriangular in shape and boasting 'The Sea Nymphs' and 'The Oceanides' sculptures, Manly's Fairy Bower Pool combines coastline and creativity all in one relaxed location. On the walk from Manly to Shelly Beach, it has been a favourite since it was built in 1929.
Whites BeachOne of the country's best kept secrets, Whites Beach at Broken Head near Byron Bay offers a piece of secluded paradise with rocky cliffs, palm trees and pristine waters. Whites Beach is tucked out the way with access via a drive along Seven Mile Beach Road followed by a trek through the rainforest. Named as Australia's number one secret destination in Australian Traveller Magazine, Whites Beach is a hidden gem and a great little getaway that's worth well the effort.
Blue PoolTake a dip in Bermagui's famous Blue Pool, a natural rock pool washed with crystal clear water which offers fantastic snorkelling. The natural rock pool lies at the base of a rocky cliff face with picnic tables, amenities and a shower nearby.
Newcastle Ocean BathsWith its Art Deco pavilion, Newcastle Ocean Baths is one of the city's outstanding historic landmarks. For more than 100 years, Novocastrians have enjoyed splashing in the salt water, many remembering it fondly as the place where they first learnt how to swim.
The Bogey HoleLocated on the Mollymook headland is a large circular rock pool and makes an ideal place to cool off for families with young children or anyone looking for a calm spot for a dip. For those looking to explore marine life, the Bogey Hole has snorkelling.
The Entrance Ocean Baths– A children's pool, 22 metre pool and full-length Olympic-size pool makes these bath's ideal for everyone. The baths at the Entrance are popular with locals and visitors alike as it is the only ocean pool on the Central Coast.
Yarrangobilly CavesLocated in Kosciuszko National Park, Yarrangobilly Caves is one of the most beautiful limestone cave systems in Australia. Enjoy swimming in the above ground, natural spring, outdoor thermal pool which is at a constant 27°C year-round. Before taking the plunge, discover stalagmites, stalactites and corals in the caves.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
hereditary surnames in Scotland were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. Scottish patronymic names emerged as early as the mid-9th century. The patronyms were derived from a variety of given names that were of many different origins. The surname Francey is derived from the popular medieval given name Franciscus. Francey is a patronymic surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. Many patronyms were formed when a son used his father's personal name as a surname, but in this case, the surname was originally derived from the famous religious figure, St. Francis of Assisi. The Francey family was established in Derbyshire, prior to the Norman invasion of England, in 1066.
Francey Early Origins
Derbyshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Francey Spelling Variations
Francey Spelling Variations
The frequent translations of surnames from and into Gaelic, accounts for the multitude of spelling variations found in Scottish surnames. Furthermore, the spelling of surnames was rarely consistent because medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules. The different versions of a surname, such as the inclusion of the patronymic prefix "Mac", frequently indicated a religious or Clan affiliation, or even a division of the family. Moreover, a large number of foreign names were brought into Scotland, accelerating accentuating the alterations to various surnames. The name Francey has also been spelled Francis, Frances, Franceys, Francies, Fraunces, Francys, Francess and many more.

The whole family fell in love with aspen during our week in November. The Ritz Carlton is fantastic and the owners epresentative made us feel very welcome even helping us to arange ski lessons.
Apartment was everything we hoped it would be, clean comfortable and spacious. Looking forward to comming back next year to tackle more of the great higlands ski area.
This is the real Aspen experience with the best ski area for miles around, good food nearby or a few minutes away they youn ones will particularly enjoyed the Highlands Pizza Co, where mom and dad can enjoy a refreshing glass of beer form the Aspen Brewery.
There is nowhere better to bring your family.
Just spent 5 days in Aspen Highlands at the Ritz Carlton Club (in August 2010) with my husband and grown children and had a wonderful vacation. The accommodations were perfect---a beautiful condo with great views and ALL amenities. We decided not to rent a car because shuttle transportation was provided to Aspen every 30 minutes (and they also provided transportation to and from the airport). There were great restaurants on the grounds, and the RCC staff bent over backwards to make sure we had a great stay. We couldn't have had a more comfortable and relaxing time. Our family hopes to be back next summer and would highly recommend this Ritz Carlton Club to anyone heading to Aspen.

I just finished reading the latest copy of U.S. News & World Report. This is simply one indication of my age. Not only do I read it, I subscribe to it. I am old.
The cover story in this latest issue is 50 Ways to Improve Your Life in 2008. Here are a few of their suggestions…and what I think of them.
1. Try open water swimming.
Just a few days ago, I read about Vibrio Vulnificus, a bacteria found in salt water which can invade any open sore on your body and lead to amputations and death. Open water swimming? I think not.
2. Cut back on corn.
Had they said this would improve the life of my sewer line, I might have bought it.
3. Waltz your way to better fitness.
And where exactly will I find someone to waltz with? Unless Tony Romo was his dancing partner, my husband would rather stick hot needles in his eyes.
4. Give a healthcare giftcard.
This seems nothing more than a slap in the face. "Hi. You seem old, sick and frail and I doubt you'll be around to blow the candles out on your cake next year. Here's a little something to help pay those doctor bills. Oh, and happy birthday!"
5. Read an international newspaper.
I have a hard enough time reading what the American media has to say, do I really need to cross a border for more of the same?
6. Get a raise.
Oh! Okay! Just like that.
7. Avoid recalls. Make your own toys.
Ingesting lead would hurt my children less than the toys I would make.
8. Avoid air travel delays.
Getting that raise would be easier.
9. Knit like a hipster.
What does that even mean? What am I supposed to knit? A peace symbol? A poem? A beatnik afghan?
10. Yawn.

Hi Tracy, let me know how I can email you. I could not find a link in your profile to do so. And I did not want to just post my address in a comment.

I guess I just have been too hectic getting things set up for this weekend when we have a big family gathering, and my sister is flying over to join us. Getting the house in order has become a full time job for me at this moment, and all else that the party entails. And I am just thrilled that sis will be here soon!!
