Author's Note: Here it is, guys: the last chapter. Thanks for reading along all this way and I hope you like the ending.
Part 12.
"Yes, it is I, Queen!" Hansen cried, reaching into the depths of his cloak and pulling out three Poke balls before lobbing them at the ground. "Shedinja, Ninjask! Your commander calls you for battle!"
The scabby, haloed form Shedinja floated serenely in the air, flanked by two Ninjask, beating their wings aggressively and darting about as though searching for something to stab.
Jason rushed in front of Sara, who was already being pulled back by Miranda and her other attendants, with his sword drawn. "Men!" he called out to the guards stationed at the entrance to the hall. "Seize him!"
"That won't work!" Hansen roared. "Ninjask! Shadow Ball!"
"We're not going to let you get away with that!" Ash declared. "Pikachu!" he said, turning down to his Pokemon who had long ago left the breakfast table to take up a battle stance by his side, "Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu gave a fierce nod and summoned up his electricity. "Piiii-kaaaa-chuuuu!" he screeched, sending the jolt directly toward the Ninjask, still building up energy for their attacks.
…And it might have worked if Shedinja hadn't flown in the path of the electricity and taken the attack harmlessly.
"No way!" Dawn exclaimed.
The Ninjask let out a cry and fired their Shadow Balls, not, as Ash had expected, at the guards making their way toward Hansen, but at the ceiling above them. The blast cut a hole through the roof and sent the overhanging architecture crashing down in front of the entrance, forming a makeshift blockade that the guards could not climb over.
"And now you can no longer escape," Colonel Hansen said, leveling a dangerous gaze at the queen.
"So what will you do now?" Sara asked, leaning over Jason's protective stance in front of her to face Hansen. "Your marionette has cut his ties from you and run off—any chance you had to claim the throne by proxy is gone; what do you have to gain by fighting?"
"Everything," Hansen answered. He narrowed his eyes at her. "You've improved much from the sixteen-year-old whelp who stole my throne away from me, but you're still a weak ruler. How else could I have gotten this close to usurping you once again? The Mirage Kingdom needs a strong hand to guide it, but you've let the priests get so strong that they control you and not the other way around. You have no right to call yourself Queen, so I will take your place."
"You wouldn't look as good in a tiara," Misty shouted mean-spiritedly at him.
Hansen gave her a fierce look, but quickly turned his attention back to the queen. "If you think these brats will help you win a second time then you're wrong. All I have to do is take you out, and then in the chaos the people will turn to the only one who can possibly steer this great kingdom… the exiled regent whose love of this country is second to none and whose power to crush all who oppose him is undeniable; the man who ruled this kingdom in all but name during the last few years of your father's reign. They will turn to me."
"You're insane!" Misty shouted, relieving Sara of the effort of answering this claim. "You really think we're going to let you hurt Sara?"
"Yeah," Ash said, pumping his fist. "If it's a battle you want then it's a battle you'll get. You're not going to hurt anyone anymore!"
"Big talk from a couple of brats," Hansen scoffed. "But can you three get past… my Shedinja?" he asked as the Pokemon floated in front of him.
"No problem," Dawn declared confidently. "A Top Coordinator, a Gym Leader, and a Champion-in-the-Making against just you? You don't stand a chance!"
"It's not going to be that easy," Ash admitted to Dawn, a bit put out that he was the only one of the three with a title that was still in progress. "His Shedinja's got Wonder Guard. Most attacks won't do a thing against it."
"That's right, boy," Hansen sneered. "You might as well not even bother—you'd only be wasting your energy."
"But," Ash added harshly, glaring at Hansen, "we've gotten through that before and we'll do it again, just like last time. Your Shedinja doesn't stand a chance against Misty's Gyarados!"
For a moment Colonel Hansen looked caught off guard, though, to be fair, so did Misty.
"Umm… Ash," Misty tried.
"Her Gyarados will flamethrower your Shedinja into submission just like last time," Ash taunted. "Isn't that right, Misty?"
"Uh… right," Misty said, her eyes cast downward and her fists clenched. Togetic flew around her looking vaguely concerned. "That's what I'd like to say," she muttered, "but Gyarados is back at the gym."
"What?" Ash exclaimed as Hansen grinned triumphantly.
"I don't know what you're acting so surprised about!" Misty hissed at him. "I told you Daisy was working with Gyarados for the next underwater ballet! Don't you listen to a word I say?"
"Well… I… I did but I just forgot," Ash replied sheepishly.
"It doesn't matter," Dawn cut across them. "We'll break through his guard anyway. I know just the attack and I know just the Pokemon."
"Oh, do you, little brat?" Hansen asked, turning to look at Dawn. "You and I haven't crossed paths before, but one brat is the same as another. Let's see what you think you can do."
"Togekiss!" Dawn called out, summoning the soaring Pokemon. "Let's protect the Mirage Kingdom! Use Sky Attack on Shedinja!"
"Kiss!" Togekiss trilled, her body glowing white as she flew toward Shedinja, leaving a trail of afterimages as she swooped.
"That's a flying type move," Ash observed hopefully. "If it makes contact then it can break through the guard!"
"'If' being the operative word," Hansen snarled, pointing outward toward his Pokemon. "Ninjask, both of you, Hyper Beam!"
"What?" Dawn said, caught by surprise.
"Kiss?" Togekiss murmured as the two fleet-winged Pokemon fazed into view on either side of her.
With the buzz of a thousand cicada-fueled famines the blasts fired, each hitting Togekiss dead on.
"Togekiss!" Dawn cried out, as the Pokemon crashed to the ground in trail of smoke. She ran toward her.
Pikachu's fur stood on end and he was ready to wreak rodent vengeance on his friend's attacker, but Togetic was quicker, barreling through the air like a tiny, rage-powered missile. The Ninjask it had been aiming for didn't even have to break a sweat to send it flying back the way it came with one slash.
"Togetic! I've got you!" Misty yelled, racing toward the place Togetic was falling and catching him in a move that would've made the Electabuzz team manager itch to recruit her. "Togetic are you alright?"
His tiny white form was bruised and battered. But when he looked up at her his black eyes radiated determination… as well as desperation.
Hansen laughed mockingly at Ash. "Two down and I haven't even gotten warmed up yet. What will you do now? Your Pikachu couldn't even hold his own against my Ninjask, let alone break through my Shedinja's defenses. Your fight is all but lost."
Ash ground his teeth together. Much as he hated to admit it, Hansen had a point. His Ninjask were fast, and very powerful—and they wouldn't even be able to touch them until they could take out Hansen's Shedinja. But with Wonder Guard in effect, none of Pikachu's moves could affect it at all. They might have had a chance with Togekiss, but… Ash looked over his shoulder were Dawn was crouched at the grounded Togekiss's side. It had taken two hyper beam blasts at once… there was no way it could fly, at least not now. And Togetic, spunk or not, was pretty banged up too.
Ash clenched his fist. "Maybe we are at a disadvantage, but quitting's not our style, right Pikachu?"
"Kaa!" Pikachu declared, electricity arcing from the pouches on his cheeks.
As the two were gearing up to fight, they hadn't notice the quiet conversation going on between Misty and her injured Togetic.
Misty closed her eyes and reached into her pocket. "We're in a tight spot…" she said, "I can give you an option, but…" she trailed off, gripping something in her fist, "…I can't make the decision for you."
"G-getic?" Togetic murmured, trying to get himself upright.
Misty opened her hand solemnly, revealing a gem that sparkled green and yellow and orange in the changing light. The shiny stone.
"Dawn," Ash called out, not taking his eyes off Hansen's hovering Pokemon. "How's Togekiss?"
"I think her wing's broken," Dawn answered, her voice wavering as she patted Togekiss's head. "Ash, I'm sorry, but she just can't—"
"I know," Ash said heavily. He turned to Pikachu. "Come on, buddy," he said. "Just you and me."
Before Ash could make his futile counter-strike against Hansen, a blinding white light drew everyone's attention away from the battlefield. Everyone turned to the source of the glow, right in front of Misty. When the glow faded it left…
The fleecy, elegant form of a Togekiss appeared from the blinding light, gliding confidently in mid-air.
"But that's—" Ash started, confused as he turned to Dawn's wounded Togekiss and then back to the Togekiss in front of Misty. He remembered the stone she'd uncertainly carried with her for so long. "Oh!"
"You can do it, Togekiss!" Misty called out to her newly evolved Pokemon.
Hansen snorted. "Another Togekiss? They may be protectors of this land—but it won't be any trouble for me to take out another one."
"Ash!" Misty called out to him.
"Right," Ash returned, nodding at Pikachu.
Misty's Togekiss swooped forward, his broader wings increasing his speed from his prior form. He dived toward Pikachu who deftly hopped on his back.
"You can do it guys!" Dawn cheered, as her Togekiss looked hopefully on at the battle.
"Togekiss, Sky Attack on Shedinja!" Misty commanded.
"The result will be the same!" Hansen predicted. "Ninjask—both of you—hit the Togekiss and Pikachu with Hyper Beam!"
The Ninjask's wings hummed ominously as they prepared their attack.
"Not this time!" Ash declared, stomping forward and twisting his hat around backwards. "Pikachu, Electro Ball times two!"
"What?" Hansen demanded.
Pikachu jumped off Togekiss's back as the flying Pokemon soared forward. It did a somersault in the air as it descended, lobbing one ball of pure electricity at the first Ninjask, still charging up, and then flipped again to send one toward the second.
"No!" Hansen shouted, as the balls of energy smacked into his Ninjask, covering them in clouds of smoke. The frantic buzzing of wing-beats had stopped.
But it wasn't over yet. Togekiss continued his arc forward, his whole body steaming with white energy as he plowed straight into the unguarded Shedinja.
"Kiiiiisss!" Togekiss trilled triumphantly, whipping around the falling carapace as it doubled back and caught Pikachu before he could hit the ground.
Hansen's Pokemon weren't so lucky. Their impact with the ground was punctuated by the sound of painfully cracking exoskeletons.
"No," Hansen said, softly, disbelievingly as he stared at his fainted, still-smoking Pokemon. "No!" he yelled louder. "The Mirage Kingdom was mine—mine! I was so close to reclaiming it!"
Sara stepped forward, past Jason's protection. She looked down at Hansen with a hard, disappointed expression. The rubble behind Hansen stirred as the guards that had been chipping their way through from the other side began to break through.
"It was never yours to begin with," she told him.
An attempted rebellion never quite ends at the battle's close. Hansen still had to be seized, disarmed and contained by the guards before being dragged down to prison. But all that was only temporary; a tribunal had to be held to decide what was to be permanently done with the would-be usurper, the council had to be informed, and the public had to be addressed. As Queen, Sara, and as captain of the guard, Jason, both had a lot on their plates. But as for Dawn, Ash, and Misty… they stayed out of all that. They had different priorities to concern themselves with, namely, the health of their Pokemon, particularly Dawn's Togekiss who had been injured the worst.
They needn't have worried too much. The Mirage Palace had its own private selection of doctors, both for humans and Pokemon, along with quite a few of those handy Nurse Joys. They took Dawn's Togekiss into their care and worked all the wonders that occur between handing off your Pokemon to them and hearing the blessed words 'your Pokemon have been fully healed.'
Since Togekiss's injuries were severe, she wasn't one hundred percent fighting fit even several days later as the gang sat around the sitting room, but she could fly again. The wing was tender and couldn't take heavy use yet, but it was healing and the Joys pronounced her to be on the road to recovery.
"Togekiss looks like she's doing a lot better," Ash observed, as the feathery Pokemon took a seat on the floor in front of Dawn's chair.
"She definitely is," Dawn said, reaching down to pat Togekiss. "It was a dirty trick of that Hansen to hit her with so much, but she's gonna recover and be even stronger."
"It was a tough fight," Ash agreed. "But he relied too much on his defenses. Once we cracked through those it was over."
Dawn looked at Ash and Misty sitting on the—and she had to smile at this—loveseat. "It was all thanks to you two that we won—and to Pikachu and Toget—I mean, Togekiss."
"Two Togekiss, huh?" Ash said, scratching his chin thoughtfully as Misty set down her cup of tea. "That could get confusing."
"The more the merrier, I say," Sara said, stepping into the room with Jason at her side.
"Sara!" Misty said, standing up and greeting her. "I thought you'd be busy all day with meetings."
"I've another one in a fifteen minutes," Sara confided, sinking into an armchair. "But I thought I'd stop by and chat with you three."
"So… how's it going?" Ash asked. "Is Hansen in jail?"
Jason took that one. "He is," He said firmly. "He's our highest security prisoner."
"He made a fuss about that, too," Sara commented. "He said if I were any kind of good ruler I'd have already had him executed."
"He can… complain about that?" Dawn asked disbelievingly.
"Do you think this is going to be the end of it, Sara?" Misty asked. "Or are there going to be more problems?"
"Hansen's not getting out of jail again," Sara said firmly. "That much is solved. I think dealing with the council will be a bit easier for the moment. For one thing, their scheme has been an embarrassment that nearly gave a fanatic the throne, for another, I now have the people on my side… at least for now."
"Why's that?" Dawn asked.
A small, but nevertheless sly smile crossed Sara's face. "They're feeling rather sorry for their queen, who was disgracefully left at the altar."
"I have some goodwill right now—it never lasts, but I intend to use it while I have it," Sara said practically. "The Togepi nests are still empty and the only thing I can do to encourage the Togepi that left to come back is to make the Mirage Kingdom the happiest of all Kingdoms."
"I hope they come back," Misty said sounding concerned. She put a hand on her Togekiss's head. "But they'll always have you to protect them, right?"
"Kiss!" her Togekiss agreed.
"You all have done such a great service to me and to the Mirage Kingdom," Sara said fondly. "I wanted to know how I could possibly repay you… perhaps… a knighthood?"
Ash exchanged glances with Dawn and Misty and thought that they felt the same as him. "Thanks a lot, Your Maj—I mean, Sara, but we helped you because we wanted to, so there's no need to reward us. Anyway," he said thoughtfully, "I think it's about time we all got back on the road again."
"I thought you might say that," Sara answered, getting up to leave once more. "But always remember that any time you come back to the Mirage Kingdom you will receive a hero's welcome."
"We'll definitely come back to visit," Dawn promised. "Right, Togekiss?"
"Togeee," Togekiss answered, but she sounded somewhat uncertain.
"I'll look forward to that day," Sara said, at the door. "Good-bye Misty, Ash, and Dawn. I can't thank you enough for all that you've done."
A chorus of good-byes were said and then the door closed as the queen left—off to a busy day of meetings and speeches.
"Hey, Ash," Dawn chirped excitedly once Sara had left, "I know we said we were going to travel together for a little while longer, but would you mind if I split off from here? I've kinda had a change of plans."
"Sure, that's fine," Ash said, blinking slightly confusedly. "What kind of change of plans?
"Oh, I'm heading over to the Pokemon Fan Club to see about some contests," Dawn answered in a purposefully vague tone that left the door open for more questions.
"What?" Ash asked. "But you already won Top Coordinator. Is it fair for you to compete again—at least so soon?"
"I'm not going just to compete—I'm going to organize one!" Dawn burst out excitedly. "And it won't be just a regular contest either! It'll be a battle royal made up entirely of past Top Coordinator winners!"
Ash whistled. "That'd be some fight to see. What would they be competing for? Tippy-Top Coordinator?"
Dawn laughed. "No, this time I think it's better if we're not competing for a prize like that. You see," she got up and folded her hands behind her back, walking toward the window, "I love contests. They're a great way to show off your skills, entertain people, and I can't deny that I thrive off the competition. But I think… I think it's time contests did a little more worthwhile than just that." She turned around dramatically. "So that's why, in this competition, all the Top Coordinator competitors will be playing for charity."
"Wow!" exclaimed Misty. "That's a great idea, Dawn!"
Dawn grinned. "With all the attention contests usually get, I think we can really do some good. I just hope I can get the contest committee to go for my idea."
"I'm sure they'll love it," Ash answered. "A contest where everyone's a top coordinator? That's gonna make for some awesome events."
"Piplup!" Piplup cheered from Dawn's shoulder.
Dawn laughed again. "Well, I know Piplup's looking forward to helping out." She looked down at Togekiss. "You too, right Togekiss?"
Togekiss said nothing and looked torn.
"Hmm? Togekiss?" Dawn tried again.
Togekiss stood up and took flight gently, so as not to strain her wing, and then glided over to where Misty's Togekiss sat. "Togekiss," she said, by way of explanation.
"I think…" Misty said slowly, "I think she wants to stay here too."
"Huh?" asked Ash. "But why?"
Misty jabbed him painfully in the side with her elbow and nodded to where the two Togekiss sat, curled up closely together.
Ash rubbed his side ruefully for a minute and then looked at the Togekiss. "Oh," he said after a moment. "Oh." He pulled his hat brim down slightly so it covered his eyes. "One of those things."
Dawn kneeled down by Togekiss. "You really want to stay here?"
"To, kiss," Togekiss answered, her tone somewhat guilty.
Dawn stared for a moment at her longtime friend and then finally smiled. "I understand," she said, reaching out to pat her on the head. "We're all moving on to the next thing, I guess… but we'll always be friends."
"Kiss!" Togekiss agreed, sounding relieved.
"And if both these two stay here," Misty realized, "then the nesting grounds won't be empty. They'll recover, even if it's just a bit at first." She took a knee and poked her own Togekiss in the side playfully. "You little Casanova," she teased, "you're lucky you're better at this than Ash."
Ash immediately colored. "Hey, I'm trying."
"I know, I know," Misty said to him. "I'm just kidding around."
She turned her gaze back to Togekiss and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm going to miss you so much," she said. She drew back from the hug and surveyed him. "You've gotten so big—but to me you're still the same little Togepi I could hold in my arms."
"Gekiss!" her Togekiss answered.
As Misty and Dawn both rose, Dawn began to ask something she'd been wondering about for awhile: "So…" she tried, "I know what I'm gonna do—and it looks like our Togekiss have made up their minds about the future. So… what are you two gonna do?" she asked in a tone that seemed to hope that the answer was 'get married, buy a house with a picket fence, and crank out 2.5 children.'
Misty waited for Ash, but an answer didn't seem to be coming, so she went ahead. "Well… I guess I'd better head back to Cerulean City," she said. "If I stay away for much longer my sisters will start handing out gym badges for free again." She sighed. "I'm the youngest—I shouldn't have to babysit them."
"And?" Dawn pried. "What about you, Ash?"
Ash took a minute to reply. "I've been thinking… I've been thinking…" He took a deep breath. "I guess that it might be a good idea to check out that gym leader try-out in Vermillion. I'm not totally giving up on being a Pokemon Master or anything," he added aggressively, "but I figure it's time to try something new—at least for a little while." He sighed. "Traveling's fun, but it's nice to have a place to hang your hat every once in awhile. And I'd still get to fight strong trainers—they'd just come to me instead."
Misty's grin was so wide it nearly left her face. "How do you come up with these amazing ideas?" she ribbed him.
"And," Ash said, clearing his throat. "Vermillion's not that far away from Cerulean."
"It's not," Misty answered, still smiling. "And we could travel back that way together."
"That's what I was thinking," Ash said a bit sheepishly.
Pikachu was jubilant at the news and climbed up on Misty's shoulder with a cry of "Pika!"
"So do you like that Pikachu?" Ash asked his Pokemon companion, now looking up at him from Misty's shoulder. "You ready to try the gym leader life?"
"Ka pikachu!" Pikachu answered in the affirmative.
"Well then, I guess the Vermillion City gym will have to get used to having a Pikachu around instead of a Raichu," Ash said with a smile.
Pikachu shrugged as if to say that it was impossible to know what the future held.
"What? Have you let go of your rivalry with Raichu?" Ash asked, perplexed. "Where's that Pikachu pride I know?"
Misty laughed. "I think you're both growing up," she said. "Slowly—very slowly—but surely."
Dawn clapped her hands together excitedly. "This is so wonderful!" she said. "You're going to make a great gym leader, Ash. I know it! And I know you'll like being closer to home."
Misty breathed in a cleansing breath and then let it out. "It's a new beginning," she said fondly, "for all of us."
"I've had a lot of new beginnings," Ash said reflectively. "But now that I start looking back at them they were all sort of… the same. But this…"
"I know," Misty said. "This is different."
Ash looked at Misty. It wasn't just the prospect of being a gym leader that would change his life—it was her. He didn't have much more than a vague notion of what he'd face on this mystery road he would have to walk if it meant staying with her. Was he ready for whatever it meant? He still wasn't sure.
"There's going to be different challenges this time around," he said doubtfully.
"Oh come on," Misty said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Since when does Ash Ketchum back away from a challenge?"
He smiled that familiar smile—that one that contained more joy than a battle that had been won—it was the joy of a battle yet to be won. "Well," he answered, "when you put it that way…"
There's nothing wrong with dreaming—if Ash, Misty and Dawn hadn't dreamed then they wouldn't have gotten as far as they'd gotten and earned and experienced all they had without their dreams. But all those that dream must know when to wake up; must know the difference between reality and mirage.
And it took a kingdom of illusions to teach them that.
The End.

It's simplest to use a tool that knows how to just use SCSI/ATAPI commands to grab the audio tracks from the device. Since we have unified SCSI/ATAPI (unlike FreeBSD) you have a choice of many such tools. The best one I've found is "cdda2wav", which is part of cdrecord-1.8alpha distributions. *DO NOT* build and install the version of cdrecord you'll find in such a distribution -- it's really, really, Really broken, particularly on non-i386 (e.g. Alpha) platforms. But cdda2wav works great, and supports many different drives, including almost all new ATAPI drives, which usually implement the MMC standard. I use an ATAPI MMC CDR reader/writer to read and burn audio CD's, using the cdda2wav from the cdrecord1.8alpha distribution and the cdrecord from our packages collection (which is 1.6) and it works great, on both x86 and alpha. -- Thor Lancelot Simon email@example.com "And where do all these highways go, now that we are free?"

Foundation Honors NJDEP's Campbell with Keeper of the Coast
(04/18) Asbury Park --
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner
Bradley M. Campbell will be honored tonight by the Surfrider
Foundation's Jersey Shore Chapter, with its annual Keeper
of the Coast award in recognition of his exceptional leadership
in protecting New Jersey's coastal areas.
The Foundation will present the award to
Campbell at the Surfrider Foundation's mid-winter festival,
Stokefest, at 9 p.m. at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. The
festival begins at 6 p.m.
"I am greatly honored to receive this
award from the Surfrider Foundation. For too long, the voices
of surfers and other outdoor enthusiasts were overlooked
when critical decisions were made about our coast. I am
grateful to the Surfrider Foundation for their wisdom and
advocacy in seeking reform," Campbell said.
The Keeper of the Coast award is presented
annually to an exceptional leader dedicated and committed
to protecting New Jersey's coastal environment. Past recipients
include Congressman Frank Pallone and Cindy Zipf, Executive
Director, Clean Ocean Action.
"The Surfrider Foundation selected
Commissioner Campbell to receive this award because of his
courageous leadership on water issues, including beach nourishment,
beach access, beach replenishment and shoreline structures,"
said Surfrider Foundation Jersey Shore Chapter Chair John
J. Weber. "He has consistently demonstrated his commitment
to improving water quality on the coast and has worked hard
to address the concerns of surfers."
The Surfrider Foundation, founded in 1984,
is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the
protection and preservation of oceans and beaches. It includes
over 37,000 members and 60 local chapters in the U.S. and
has affiliates in Australia, Japan, France and Brazil.

This week has been taken up with converting our ebook into various formats so that I can submit it to all the different book stores around the place. Who would have thought there were so many standards and rules that you have to try and follow.
Nick had his 6 week checkup and I finally got around to setting him up a bank account, which we are putting $10 into every week. By my calculations he should have about 12-13K by the time he is 18, so hopefully that should help him in some way – perhaps a car or to further his education?
There have been an insane amount of break ins around our area recently. It feels like pretty much every house in our street has been targeted and I feel like it is only a matter of time before ours also gets hit 🙁
Search Terms
Here are some of the search terms that I enjoyed that sent people to my site this week:
- Australian bank account frozen due to no activity – That is exactly why you need more than 1 account!
- I had good neighbors and we become best friends – Awwwww, isn't that nice 🙂
- Can the unemployed rent out rooms -Sure, why not…
- Is it worth spending money on a bed – I think so, but it's really up to you.
- Reasons not to want more money – You've got me – I haven't a clue.
- Value my time spend more money – Time is valuable, but you don't have to spend more money if you don't want to.
This time I am participating in a giveaway by Structured Settlement Quotes and the prize is a DSLR camera! Be sure to enter for your chance to win and good luck to you 🙂
That's it for this week everyone.
I hope you all have a great weekend and remember to checkout this weeks best personal finance articles.

Sapphire's THE KID — an Important New Novel, with a Serious Old Problem
Written by Barbara Jones, a Progressive Book Club blogger.
Last week, at the launch event for her second novel The Kid (her first novel, Push, was made into the Academy Award-winning movie "Precious"), Sapphire was greeted by an adoring and attentive house, a Barnes & Noble crowd that clapped and hurrahed and whistled its welcome — then hung on every word. Sapphire was interviewed on stage and for a podcast by B&N's always spot-on "Upstairs at the Square" show host, Katherine Lanpher. And Sapphire was sung to by the deep alto of singer-songwriter Imani Uzuri (the bookstore became "the church of Sapphire," Lanpher said). Toward the end of the evening, in a climax to everything that had been talked about, sung about, and read (Sapphire was marvelous reading from The Kid), Dance Theatre of Harlem artist DaVon Doane, in a breathtaking adagio improvisation, seemed to become Abdul, the protagonist of The Kid — except that Doane was Abdul as we hoped he'd be. In The Kid, Abdul is violated as a child and becomes a violator; in Barnes & Noble, Doane was Abdul healed, a beautiful young man in benevolent and powerful possession of his body. Many, including Sapphire, wept while Doane danced. Others stood in ovation. Soon after that, Sapphire's fans formed a long line, each holding a copy of The Kid to be signed. Here was an entirely successful coming out for a new novel.
But even so, underneath, trouble brewed.
Let's call it The Sapphire Problem.
In her novels and in her poetry, Sapphire writes about poor, black, abused American children, about HIV/AIDS and its many victims, including those orphaned by it, and about male (and sometimes female) domestic and sexual violence. She writes as honestly as she can, eyes wide open to reality.
Here's some of that reality in statistics: Every 32 seconds an American baby is born into poverty; every 41 seconds an American child is confirmed as abused or neglected; every minute a American baby is born to a teen mother. (Hundreds more statistics such as these are readily available from the Children's Defense Fund: www.childrensdefensefund.org.) These poor, harmed children live out whatever length of life they get largely unseen by the public that has the means and votes to do something to help them. Every 18 minutes a child dies before its first birthday; every 5 hours a child or teen commits suicide; every 6 hours a child is killed by abuse or neglect. Sapphire passionately wants these underfunded, undernourished, unsafe lives to be seen.
Well, you know how that goes over.
Her work upsets people.
Most people don't want to read it. They don't like it. Not really.
At Barnes & Noble last week, Katherine Lanpher said to Sapphire, "It strikes me as one of your hallmarks, for your poetry as well as your prose, that you are able to write about and make us look at things we don't want to look at."
Sapphire, sitting in a chair on stage, her hands clasped between her knees, looked toward the floor and said in her gorgeous, low voice, "Some people. Some people are able to look at things they don't want to look at. Other people just close the book, and go on about their business." She went on to explain that because of the buzz around Lee Daniel's movie "Precious" and because "Oprah and Tyler Perry were gracious enough to get behind [that movie version of Push]," millions of people "went to see the film and were touched deeply," and left the theater and bought Push, ten times more than had bought the book before. Even so, "some people… didn't understand the violence in the text. It hadn't happened to them. You know, 'Why can't we just keep a lid on that?' And my thought was if these people can survive it, we certainly can read about it. I'm just asking you to read about other people."
Words in a blog post don't convey the solid, humble, generous way Sapphire spoke. If children thrown into poverty and peril through no fault of their own can survive these terrible situations, the least we can do is read about them. Read about the lives they are living before the worst happens.
The Kid begins with the death of Claireece Precious Jones, the now well-known protagonist of Push. Because millions of people saw "Precious," millions will never look at an obese, poor, black teen mother in the same way; they will never ignore her as entirely as they did before. She has been seen. This triumph of social education may seem like a starting place for an ongoing, trusting mass-audience-author relationship. But Sapphire kills off Precious in the first chapter of The Kid. Precious's sole surviving child, 9-year-old Abdul, is orphaned in that moment. "If there's a strength in single mothers," Sapphire said at B&N, "it's that she carries on and carries forth. If there's a tragedy in single mothers, it's that if she falls, that child falls." That tragedy is the situation of The Kid.
"Why did she have to go?" Lanpher asked Sapphire.
Because that's what would probably have happened, Sapphire said. If a poor black woman had AIDS at the time Precious Jones had AIDS, chances were, she would have died. "Abdul is just one of millions" of children orphaned by AIDS worldwide, Sapphire said. "I chose just one man who has lost everything." Furthermore, to drive home the reality of Abdul's situation, Sapphire reminded the audience that he is a black boy in America, the least likely child to be adopted. "People will go all over the world. People will go to Indonesia, to Africa, people will go to Russia," before they will adopt a black American boy, she said.
Lanpher asked, "What temptations, if any, were there for you to defy the facts on the ground and have Precious live and be that 1 percent that carries on?"
Sapphire, quickly, while making an effort to be patient with her audience, said, "You mean a romantic fantasy." And her remark plus the way she said it sent a low "whoa" through the crowd, because she'd told the truth. A romantic fantasy is just what the people wanted.
Sapphire couldn't write that fantasy. "That would cause you to not feel the pain that millions all over the world are feeling behind the AIDS epidemic."
So far The Kid has received some of the lowest customer ratings I have ever noticed on Amazon. Distressed reviews. Why did Precious have to die? Why is this book so dark? Why is there no redemption — or so little redemption? The Amazon reviewers don't fault the writing; they fault the plot.
"[With] mass horror should come mass grace," one wrote.
"The worst part for me is that even though I can imagine young black boys are treated like this is the fact that there is no real resolution at the end," wrote another.
But Sapphire is taking reality as her plot. As Chekhov saw it, it's not the artist's job to solve the situation, only to show the situation correctly. The resolution sought by the disappointed Amazon reviewer is not in Sapphire's hands; it's in the hands of the citizenry. Those who want to change Sapphire's plot would have to help change the reality she's looking at. Which would mean, for starters, seeing that reality, which could mean, as a first step, reading The Kid.

text: high stakes testing High Stakes Testing, Teacher Evaluations Remain in the Mix By Elisabeth Harrison • Jun 20, 2014 The General Assembly is expected to wrap up the session today, with two key education issues still under discussion. House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello has indicated he may bring a vote on a move to stop the use of standardized testing as a requirement for high school graduation. The measure was considered dead in the water under former House Speaker Gordon Fox, but Mattiello says he is concerned about the impact of the testing requirement on students with special needs. One compromise could involve suspending the testing rule for students with special needs. RIDE: Most Students Meet Graduation Requirements By Elisabeth Harrison • Jun 18, 2014 The State Department of Education says roughly 95 percent of this year's high school seniors have met a controversial new graduation requirement involving test scores. Nearly 500 students met the requirement by getting a waiver from their school districts. Most high schools have already held graduations, but RIDE says it does not have a final number for how many students were prevented from receiving diplomas because of the testing requirement. Education Commissioner Deborah Gist told RIPR students can still appeal graduation decisions. Gist Responds to Providence Graduation Waivers By Elisabeth Harrison • May 29, 2014 State Education Commissioner Deborah Gist has declined to comment, at least in person, on Providence's waiver of the testing portion of the state's diploma system for roughly 200 seniors. She did provide the following written statement to RIPR, via email. Providence Introduces New Waivers from Testing Requirement By Elisabeth Harrison • May 28, 2014 Providence is granting a reprieve to some 200 high school seniors, who risk not graduating under a new state policy linking test scores to a high school diploma. The rule, in effect for the first time this year, calls for students to score partially proficient or better on the NECAP test or improve significantly on a retake. Students can also use alternative tests or acceptance at a competitive college to earn their diploma. House Bill Takes Aim at Suspensions By Elisabeth Harrison • Apr 2, 2014 Rhode Island's House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare has scheduled testimony Wednesday on a bill seeking to reduce the use of "out of school" suspensions in public schools. The bill would also require education officials to collect and analyze discipline data to determine how policies are affecting minority students. Senate Committee Hears Testimony On Bill That Could Eliminate High Stakes Testing By Elisabeth Harrison • Mar 26, 2014 123 Flickr The Senate Education Committee is scheduled to hear testimony Wednesday on a bill that would ban test scores as a high school graduation requirement. A state policy requiring test scores has come under fire from critics, who say it is unfair to low income and minority students. But State Education Commissioner Deborah Gist has been a strong supporter, arguing that it will ensure that no student graduates from a Rhode Island high school without basic knowledge of math and English. More NECAP Scores to be Released By Elisabeth Harrison • Feb 13, 2014 State Education Commissioner Deborah Gist is releasing additional results from the standardized test known as NECAP. The report will include school-level data for all Rhode Island public schools, and comparisons to other New England states using NECAP. At the end of February, the Rhode Island Department of Education released an abridged summary of NECAP results, revealing scores for seniors facing a new test-linked graduation requirement. The early release was intended to give schools and students time to prepare if they did not do well enough to earn a diploma. NECAP Scores Show Improvement in High Schools By Elisabeth Harrison • Jan 31, 2014 The latest NECAP scores show more high school students reaching proficiency in both reading and mathematics, although math scores continue to be lower than state officials might like. The Rhode Island Department of Education says 36 percent of high school juniors scored proficient in math in 2013, up from just 27 percent in 2009. 81 percent scored proficient in reading, up from 73 percent in 2009. Gist: More Students are Ready to Graduate By Elisabeth Harrison • Jan 31, 2014 In her annual State of Education Address, Education Commissioner Deborah Gist revealed that 73 percent of this year's senior class has met a new requirement tying test scores to a high school diploma. Just 60 percent of students had met the bar prior to re-taking the test in October. "Lets not lose sight of the magnitude of what Rhode Island has accomplished," Gist said. "More students today are ready to graduate, and they are much more ready to succeed beyond high school." Education Commissioner Gist Delivers Upbeat State Of Education Address By Elisabeth Harrison & John Bender • Jan 31, 2014 Elisabeth Harrison / RIPR Rhode Island's Education Commissioner Deborah Gist emphasized the positive in her annual State of Education speech last night at the General Assembly. She said Rhode Island students are improving on national testing, and she said 73 percent of this year's senior class has now scored high enough on the state standardized test to earn a diploma, after thousands of students had to re-take the test in October. RI Students Protest Linking NECAP Test Scores To High School Graduation By John Bender • Jan 30, 2014 John Bender / RIPR Rhode Island Education commissioner Deborah Gist delivers her annual State of Education address Thursday. Standardized test scores for thousands of RI students come out Friday, and some 4,000 high school seniors will find out whether they did well enough to graduate. This is the first year test scores are linked are required under a new sate policy, and some students are protesting. Gist to Deliver State of Education Address By Elisabeth Harrison • Jan 30, 2014 Rhode Island Education Commissioner Deborah Gist plans to deliver her annual State of Education address Thursday at the Statehouse. The speech comes just hours before the state is slated to release the latest round of standardized test scores, which are due out Friday morning. With NECAP Testing Linked To Graduation, Thousands Of RI Students Anxiously Await Results By Elisabeth Harrison • Jan 29, 2014 Catherine Welch / RIPR Thousands of high school students across Rhode Island learn this week whether they improved enough on a standardized test to earn a diploma. The state is releasing NECAP scores for all students, including 4,000 high school seniors who had to re-take the test. One of them, Providence Senior Ruth Presendieu stopped by our studio to talk about what it's like to be a member of the first Rhode Island class whose graduation is linked to standardized testing. NECAP Scores Expected This Week By Elisabeth Harrison • Jan 29, 2014 School districts are getting ready to notify students of their scores on the state's standardized test, known as NECAP. The results will have a major impact on roughly 4,000 seniors, who need to improve their scores to earn a diploma. Although the state has announced it will allow waivers for students who get into college, this is the first year that high school seniors are expected to use NECAP scores to earn a diploma. They also have to pass their classes and complete either a senior project or a portfolio demonstrating highlights from their high school career. ACLU Again Calls for Rethinking Diploma Policy By Elisabeth Harrison • Jan 24, 2014 The Rhode Island Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has completed a survey of school districts and their policies to grant waivers from a controversial test-based requirement for high school graduation. The ACLU finds that some districts have no finalized waiver policy, while others are confusing or arbitrary. Long an opponent of linking test scores to a high school diploma, the RIACLU has written a letter to the state board of education, renewing its call for a review of the test-based graduation requirement.

I have a nikon coolpix s4. I have used a Kodak sd 256mb memory card for years which has worked fine. I am going on a trip and wanted more memory and got a 4gb memory card. When I insert the card into the camera it reads "this card cannot be used." Why can't I use the card?
The S4 uses SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card and thus will not work in the S4. You will need to stay with cards 2GB and smaller. ... Nikon Coolpix S4 Digital Camera
When I put the memory card in the camera it says 'cannot read' it. How do I format the card? I know it has the right 'size' memory. The memory card I am using is the same one I used a few months ago and I saved the pictures I took to a computer and erased the pictures off the card. Now as soon as I turn the camera on it says 'This card cannot be read'. Im frustrated as there is nothing in the manual that seems to get my camera working again. I have only had it for a year. Please HELP!
