My name is Avocet Abigail Jackson. But because Mama couldn't find anyone who thought Avocet was a fine name for a child, she called me Bird. Which is okay by me. She named both her children after birds, her logic being that if we were named for something with wings then maybe we'd be able to fly above the shit in our lives. . . .
My name is Avocet Abigail Jackson. But because Mama couldn't find anyone who thought Avocet was a fine name for a child, she called me Bird. Which is okay by me. She named both her children after birds, her logic being that if we were named for something with wings then maybe we'd be able to fly above the shit in our lives. . . .
So says Bird Jackson, the mesmerizing narrator of Connie May Fowler's vivid and brilliantly written, Before Women Had Wings.
Starstruck by a dime-store picture of Jesus, Bird fancies herself "His girlfriend" and embarks upon a spiritual quest for salvation, even as the chaos of her home life plunges her into a stony silence. In stark and honest language, she tells the tragic life of her father, a sweet-talking wanna-be country music star, tracks her older sister's perilous journey into womanhood, and witnesses her mother make a courageous and ultimately devastating decision.
Yet most profound is Bird's own storyher struggle to sift through the ashes of her parents' lives, her meeting with Miss Zora, a healer whose prayers over the bones of winged creatures are meant to guide their souls to heaven, and her will to make sense of a world where fear is more plentiful than hope, retribution more valued than love. . . .
"A thing of heart-rending beauty, a moving exploration of love and loss, violence and grief, forgiveness and redemption."
Chicago Tribune
"There is no denying the depth of Connie May Fowler's talent and the breadth of her imagination."
The New York Times Book Review
The Boston Sunday Globe
Editorial Reviews
Set in her native Florida, a place of sandy scrub and rundown motor-courts, Fowler's tale (River of Hidden Dreams, 1994, etc.) offers a child, Avocet Abigail Jackson (Bird for short), as the chronicler of one redneck family's misery and mayhem. Glory Marie, the mother, gave Bird and her older sister, Phoebe, birds' names because birds could "fly above" the debris in their lives. And the girls will need to do a lot of metaphorical flying if they are to survive their increasingly violent childhood. Bird and her dirt- poor family live in an orange grove near the small store her parents run. Billy, the father, is suicidal and prone to drunken rages in which he beats his children and fights with his wife. But the family's troubles multiply when Glory Marie buys a car of her own and spends time away from home. Mad with jealousy, Billy pays someone to beat up Glory Marie, and thenhorrified by what he's donehe disappears, only to be found a few days' later, a suicide. Mother and daughters head for Tampa, where Glory Marie finds work and a home for the family at the Travelers Motel. Phoebe does well at school, but Bird doesn'tshe takes to staying home instead, befriending Miss Zora, a mysterious black woman who lives in one of the motel cabins. It's Miss Zora, a healer and a wise woman, who saves them all when the grieving Glory Marie starts drinking heavily and badly beats Bird. Under Miss Zora's wing (as it were), the two girls can fly away to safety while their mother heals.
A vividly modern if schematic fairy tale with the usual goodies and baddies appropriately updated.

Ballantine Reader's Circle: Before Women Had Wings (Excerpt)
Chapter 1
Back in 1965, on a day so hot that God Almighty should have been writhing with sick-to-the-stomach guilt over driving His children out of the cool green of Eden, my daddy walked into our general store, held a revolver to his head, told my mama that he couldn't take any more and that because of her harsh ways and his many sins he was going to blow his brains out.
Seconds earlier, when it had been just Mama and I in that dusty old store, I'd been thinking about food. Sweets, to be exact. I used to suffer craving spells. Still do when I get to thinking about things. I don't know what spurred the want back then, a want for sugar that was so strong I would grind my teeth flat until my needs were met. Could it be that my deep yearning was caused by a sadness bred in the womb, a dark past we're helpless to undo or make right, a history we have no memory of once we're birthed into this world? Are there events so ancient and awful that our fresh lives are spoiled even before the cord is cut, so we keep craving?
These are questions for which I haven't a single answer. In fact, answers aren't part of my nature. Details are what I'm aboutstacks and stacks of detailsthe bones of my family, calcified vessels, the marrow chock-full of wishes and regrets. In my mind I pick up the bones one by onea leg bone, a hip, then a spine that looks like a witch's ladder. Before you know it, this skeleton made of memories is rattling me.
I was six years old, dressed in my yellow shorts setit had white rickrack tacked around the neckstanding in front of the pine bins that were full to overflowing with sweets, trying my hand at whistling in an attempt to get my mama's attention, hoping that she would look up from the black ledger book and its long columns of numbers that evidently foretold our future, wanting her to smile and say it was okay to eat a honey bunmy favorite food in the entire worldbetting that she would not snarl at me to get the hell away from the sweet bins because didn't I know it was almost lunchtime, when Daddy staggered in through the front screen door and, without saying hello, proceeded on with that revolver. Held it down by his side and let his arm dangle back and forth, as if the gun were nothing more than a toy, something he might throw across the room.
My mama, whose name was Glory Marie, looked up from her work. Her face slid from distraction to annoyance, and I prayed that my guardian angel, who so far in my life had proven to be an elusive helper, would materialize in front of the counter with its clutter of jars filled with pig's feet, beef jerky sticks, BC Powder packets, bug spray, pickled eggs. Prayerful words welled up inside me, whirled through my head: Please, angel, whisk me away. Take me to your house in the clouds, just for a little while, just for today.
I looked at the black muzzle of the gun and my daddy's freckled fingers wrapped around its handle like five pale, unsteady snakes. Come on, angel, come on.
Mama said something under her breathprobably a curse word, she knew a lot of those. Then she picked up her perfectly sharpened pencil, pointed it at Daddy, dartlike, and said, "Billy, put down the gun. You're scaring the children," although he could not have been scaring my big sister, Phoebe, because Mama had sent her down the road to Mrs. Bryson's to deliver the lard and flour she'd ordered.
My daddy's blue eyes were crazythunderhead wild, my mama always called themyou know, that look of madness as if a person's knotted-up, Devil-haunted soul has been forced into the small space inside the sockets, flashing despair, anger, and hurt like a warning light: Do not enter; do not cross; do not attempt to soothe.
"Glory, I mean it. I'm sick and tired to trying to make it in this godforsaken world. You and the girls will be happier with me gone." Daddy's voice was loud, trembly. He was crying.
I shut my eyes, and on the backs of my eyelids I saw Mama get up from behind the desk and put her arms around Daddy and coo, "Everything is going to be fine. Yes, baby, I love you. Your daughters love you." If I'd been her, I would have done that.
But my daydream did not come true. When I looked again, Mama was still sitting, thumping that pencil against the coffee-stained pages of the ledger. When she spoke, her words pounded into me as if she were a fancy-footworking prize-fighter: "Jesus, Billy, you're behaving like a fool."
A shadow passed over my daddy's eyes. His lips curled into a grimace, then a grin that was all heartache and threat. He looked past my mama at nothing in particular, and I feared he might be staring into the unknowable face of Our Lord and Savior.
Daddy raised the revolver to his temple, and for a split second the gun seemed alive, a blackbird flapping. In a voice too steady for the circumstances, he said, "I swear to sweet Jesus, you're gonna be sorry, Glory Marie."
Then he slipped the weapon into the waistband of his pantsan eerie satisfaction bouncing across his faceand he stormed back out the front screen door.
I expected the door to bang shut, but instead it only whispered because my big sister caught it on her way in. She was sweaty, red-face, looked as if she'd just stumbled through a mess of stinging nettlesalways did when there was trouble at home, which was almost all the time. I heard Daddy's car engine turn over and rev. Phoebe asked, "Mama, where's Daddy going with that gun?"
"Shush, girl," Mama said as she faced the window and watched Daddy peel out of the driveway. She picked up the phone. Its heavy black receiver looked too much like the revolver. Crows outside in the pecan tree started cackling. I ran over to Phoebe and threw my arms around her.
Mama's voice spilled over me: "Yes, Chuck, this is Glory Marie. Billy's got a gun. Says he's going to shoot himself. Can you send an officer after him? He's headed north, toward town. Try Moccasin Branch. He's threatened before that if he ever killed himself it would be by the river. And can you please send a cruiser over for the girls and me?"
After a series of okay's and I think so's, she hung up the phone, gathered her pocketbook and cigarettes, and told us to go outside and wait for the police. But I couldn't move. My muscles and bones turned to rubber. So I stayed put, clinging to Phoebe. She wasn't going anywhere either.
Mama was a pretty woman. I didn't look a thing like her. She had black hair and black eyes, and I figured her to have been Indian although she never confessed to such a thing. I was redheaded-near-to-blonde, with my daddy's thunderhead-blue eyes, and I'd blister under the sun before you could say squat. Phoebe looked like Mama's child with all that darknessskin and hair and eyes and allbut even shared looks didn't make the two of them close. No, she wasn't a woman you could get close to on a regular basis.
Mama pushed her chair away from the desk, smoothed her dress as she stood, then walked over to the counter. She took a wad of folding money out of the cash drawer.
I squeezed Phoebe's arm tight as I watched Mama run her thumb over the stacked corners of the paper money, silently adding. Then she glanced up, saw us standing there like a couple of stunned deer. "I said go out there, now! I've got to shut things down."
Phoebe took me by the hand and steered us toward the door.
Mama called to me as she locked the cash drawer, "Quit that foolish crying, Bird."
I wasn't crying, but her scolding words pushed me over the edge. Phoebe hustled me outside, where we stood in the glare of the noontime summer heat. The sun, the sandy road, and the palmetto scrub leading to palm trees and oaks blurred into a smear of bright light tinged in greens and browns as my tears broke loose and freely flowed. I cried because my mama had told me not to. I cried because I didn't know what else to do.
Mama walked out onto the porched and locked the door. Her thin and lovely hands shook as she lit a cigarette with a lighter Daddy had given her on her birthday just three weeks before. The lid was cherry red, but the bottom part was crystal clear so that you could see the lady in a pink swimsuit skiing in a sea of fire-triggering fluid.
We uttered not a word. Just stared into that scorched distance. A fear grew up inside me that maybe Daddy was already dead. I tried to reason away the rising doom: Nothing was kicking me down to my liver, no angelic voices screeching, "He's in heaven." That's right, I thought, I'll hear the revolver fire. I'll feel the bullet ripping through my own cheekbones when Daddy's life slips into that boiling sky.
"Where in the hell is the crusier?" Mama's voice broke our silence, and as she spoke a dust devil appeared far in the distance on the unpaved Prince of Peace Citrus Highway, the road our store was on.
"That must be him," Mama said. She tossed her cigarette on the ground and smashed it with the pointed toe of her gray pumps. Mama dressed nice when she worked in the store, but didn't go in for fadsno miniskirts, no sunglasses the color of limes.
The policeman stopped the car so fast it bucked. A skinny man with an Adam's apple nearly the size of my fist, he got out and nodded at Mama, his long face scraping the humid air.
If Mama's heart was turning itself inside out with worry, she did not show it. With hands on hips, that pocketbook dangling off her arm, she looked like a woman determined not to become unhinged. "Hello, Jack. Thanks for picking us up."
"No problem at all, Glory Marie." He opened the backseat door for us. His arms were so long, looked like they'd been stretched in a torture chamber.
"Get in, girls," Mama ordered.
Jack touched Mama on the shoulder. "Glory," he said in a concerned tone, "everything is going to be all right. Chester Smith is on his way to Moccasin Branch Bridge right now."
Mama nodded, her lipsticked mouth sealed like a knife slash across her dark face. Phoebe was already in the car, but I resisted. If people saw me speeding by in a copmobile, they would think I was going to jail. "No!" I screamed.
"Goddamn it, Bird, get in the goddamn car," Mama yelled.
I wanted to zip past her and into the store and run my hands over piles of penny candy in their cellophane wrappers, candy so pretty they looked like glass. I took a quick step in the direction of the front door, but Officer Stringbean Jack blocked my way, spurring me in a differnt idea: I would stand my ground by turning as still and unmovable as a garden statue.
But my mama, she would have none of that. She grabbed my arm, right where I'd been vaccinated, her face flying in a thousand directions, and she shook me. "What's wrong with you, you little hellion!"
I opened my mouth, tried to explain, but fear and panic snatched my words, ferried them to a place I could not go.
Mama shoved me into the cagelike backseat, and as she did she banged my head hard into the car door. "Ow!" I screamed. Please don't hurt me.
"Get in there, you bitch. Don't you dare fight me!"
She did not say sorry or check if I was bleeding, which I wasn't. But if I'd been that statue, my gray face would have been dropping into the dirt, a thousand broken pieces.
I scooted over next to Phoebe, and Mama got in next to me, her hands clutching the pocketbook as if she might start slugging me with it. I buried my face in my sister's lap. It was a good way to sitMama couldn't hit me full in the face, and nobody would see me as we sped toward Lily, a town named in praise of the resurrection of Jesus, and the river that marked its edge.
For the next few minutes, I attempted to hide and to hear beyond the siren and to hold my breath because the back of the police car smelled like piss. I gritted my teeth, readying myself for the sound of a gunshot or a sudden pain inside my head caused by Daddy's passing. I thought about my angel who never came and I cursed her: Goddamn you, angel, straight to hell.
My whole body turned hot, then ice-block cold. I thought I might throw up or pass out. Did I feel sick because of my breath-holding, the bump on my head, my blood connection to Daddy? I didn't know, but I needed air bad, so I sat up, looked at Phoebe, studied her nettled face. Figured she could use some kind words. So I leaned into her: "He ain't dead."
Then I scrunched down into the seat, but not so low that I couldn't see out. The countryside whipped by fast. It felt like I was watching a moving picture. We streaked past farms and groves and signs that touted fresh citrus and the power of God. As we neared Moccasin Branch Bridge, I grew amazed, for it appeared as if every man, woman, child, and dog in Lily had gathered along the western bank. How they knew to be there, how they knew Billy Jackson was going to attempt to take his life right there on the slim white shoreline of that brown-water river, was a mystery to me. I hadn't yet learned that in a small town everybody knows everything instantly.
I eyed those busybody folks and was seized by a funny thought: It would be a good time to rob the bank. Then my heart stumbled a beat, as if it had gotten caught on one of the cypress snags in Moccasin Branch, and I searched that crowd for my daddy. But I did not see him. I looked to Phoebe, whose cinnamon skin was flushed and clammy. Her dark eyes were dry, which was a terrible thing to see. My mama always said the Devil steals tearskeeps them in a box with your name on it so that when you go to hell you will spend eternity crying the stored-up teardrops of a lifetime.
Mama struggled and cursed as she tried to get out of the police cruiser, but you can't open the back door of a cop car if you're on the inside, so the three of us were trapped. I felt a fit coming on, one of those leg-kicking, arm-flailing, wailing fits, when Mama had one of her own. She let loose with a string of cussing so potent it caused Jack the policeman, who was standing outside talking with another of his own kind, to blush.
He opened the door and said, "Sorry, Glory, I just need to make sure what was what. We've got Billy in custody. He's okay."
Jack nodded in the direction of another police car, and I craned my neck to see, but there were so many people milling about that my view was blocked. "You want that we take him in, or that you carry him home?"
Mama stared straight ahead, her eyes hard as steel. She said, "Take the son-of-a-bitch in."
Then she gathered her pocketbook into the crook of her arm and took me by the hand. I slipped my other one in Phoebe's. Pretending we were women of grace, wearing our pride like long black veils, we slipped out of the cruiser and threaded our way through the gawking crowdfriends and acquaintances all. Some said, "Glory, can we help?" but my mama responded to no one. She fixed her granite gaze on the storm clouds rising upon the horizon and pulled us right along behind her.
We got in Daddy's white Impala. Under the sun's glare not yet shadowed by the approaching clouds, the Impala seemed only a glimmer, a ghost car that would ramble through the Florida scrub toward a future thick with questions and grief.
Mama drove us home. She kept her lips sealed, and through instinct and experience, Phoebe and I knew to keep our own traps shut.
We had a shotgun house on a lake no one had ever bothered to name, in the middle of a citrus grove owned by Mr. Bailey T. Watson, a rich man who lived a lifetime north of us in a mansion that overlooked Lake Panasoffkee. We rented our house from him, and it was okay. The grove was a good place to hide.
As we walked up the front porch steps, Mama, who looked whipped but stubborn, said, "You girls play Chinese checkers or something. Do anything but fight."
My sister said, "Can we have a Co'-Cola?"
"Yes, you may, but don't drink too much."
Then Mama and Phoebe went into the kitchen, and I stayed on the porch and looked through the cracks in the wooden floor slats and said, "Here, kitty, kitty," because there was a wild cat that sometimes stayed under there and I wanted to tame her, thought that would be a fun thing to do.
Phoebe tired to catch the screen door with her foot as she came out with two Co'-Colas, but she wasn't fast enough. It made a popgun sound. From somewhere inside the house Mama yelled, "Damn you, young'uns!"
I took my cold drink. "Why do you think she's making Daddy stay in jail?"
Phoebe ran her finger down the long crest of her nose. "Try to teach him a lesson, I guess."
I took three big swallows, and as the soothing fluid rushed down my throat I wondered what kind of lesson could he possibly learnnot to play with guns, not to make Mama angry, not to do anything to attract attention? That must be itI acted poorly whenever I desired sweet attention. Maybe all my daddy needed, more than anything in this world, was for my mama to be Jesus-like, all-forgiving, and gentle to little animals.
Phoebe looked out toward the grove. Its straight, orderly rows of citrus trees were shaddy and often cool. She swatted a fly off her forehead and said, "I wish the rain would come soon."
"Me too."
I liked the way I sounded when I agreed with her. I thought I came off as a grown up, trying on my big sister's words and ideas rather than my mama's high heels and beads, which always landed me in trouble. I blew on the lip of the Co'-Cola bottle, coaxing from it a long, sad whistle. Daddy could whistle like nobody's business. Was he in that jail cell all alone, or had they thrown him in with a bunch of robbers and murderers? Was he wearing one of those striped prison outfits? Was he safe? I didn't have any answers. "Sister." I patted her leg. "Will you play me one game?"
Phoebe looked down at me as if I was a pest, but then her sharp black eyes softened and she said, "Yeah, Bird, I'll play you a game."
We sat on the porch, Indian-style, placing the marbles on the Chinese checkers board. Mama came out, pocketbook on arm, paper sack in hand. She'd put on fresh makeup and had changed out of that nice linen dress and high heels she'd been wearing earlier and into a blue wraparound skirt, a white cotton blouse, and flats. Despite the dark circles under her eyes, she looked comfortable, newly scrubbed.
"There's egg salad in the refrigerator," she said. "Phoebe, fix you and your sister a sandwich while I'm gone."
Phoebe didn't look at Mama, just kept on with those marbles, glaring at them as if they were being unruly and she was trying to make them obey. "Where are you going?" she asked.
"To take your daddy something to eat." Mama bit down on her bottom lip. I saw her whole face start to tremble and then pull itself back together. She took a deep breath, stared over our heads, and in a justifying tone of voiceas if we were accusing her of somethingshe said, "He's probably hungry by now."
"I guess so," Phoebe said.
A mockingbird started singing, and in some faraway field a tractor droned to life. A wisp of hair fell in Mama's eyes. "I've got to go," she said. Then she hurried down the steps, settled into the car, fiddled with the keys. Had to try three times before that heap of wheels and metal would start, but once she got it going, she hollered, "You two behave while I'm away. Bird, don't give your sister a hard time. If your head hurts, put some ice on it."
Then Mama was gone, disappeared down the road in the white Impala. A clap of thunder cracked the heavens, and a flock of sparrows flew from the live oak that overhung our tin roof, taking cover in the grove.
Phoebe seemed unmoved by the rumbling sky. Just kept her eyes on the Chinese checkers game board and its perfect triangles filled with marbles of such luscious colors I wanted to eat them. But they wouldn't be sweet, no they wouldn't. Sister, she looked beautiful, staring down at the board, her face framed in shadows and cloud-spangled light. I thought, She would make the most perfect angel.
I watched as she stretched over the board to flick off a fallen leaf. Underneath her thin cotton shell, I saw how fragile the bones in her back were, far too sliver-prone, far too light to support a pair of wings.
Something tickled my arm. I looked down; a ladybug walked among my many freckles. My hairs must have seemed like a forest to a creature so small. I brought my arm close to my lips and softly blew, my breath a gust of wind to send the ladybug on her way. She flew off to another world, maybe a blade of grass, maybe a flower with a pool of water cupped in its petals. I wiped the sweat out of my eyes, stared into the heat. "Do you think she's gonna yell at Daddy; do you think he still has that gun?"
My wingless sister moved a red marble. I thought I heard the cartilage holding her skeleton together snap as she said, "Who cares, Bird. Who the hell really cares."
Meet the Author
Connie May Fowler grew up in St. Augustine, Florida, until her father died when she was only seven years old, leaving Connie, her sister Deidre, and their mother Lee in near poverty. They moved to Tampa, and as her mother struggled to make ends meet as a motel bookkeeper and maid, Connie sought refuge in books: "I could be transported from the awful circumstances of my life by simply opening a book. And writing went hand in hand with reading. Writing to me was a kind of salvation."
While Connie attended the University of Tampa on a full scholarship, her mother, who had never really gotten over the loss of her husband, started drinking heavily and eventually died of cirrhosis. Connie, feeling lost, quit school and spent two years traveling through the United States and Mexico. She returned to Florida, where the provost of the University of Tampa spotted her working as a waitress and persuaded her to return to the university where she earned a B.A. in English.
Connie married Mika Fowler in 1987 and moved to Kansas, where she enrolled in graduate school at the University of Kansas. A professor there encouraged her to take a class in fiction writing. "That suggestion turned everything around for me. The fiction professor treated me for the first time in my life as if I was truly a writer. With her, everything coalesced. Fiction suddenly made sense to me." Sugar Cage, Connie's critically acclaimed debut novel, began as a short story written to fulfill a writing assignment for a fiction workshop. It evolved into her graduate thesis and eventually into a novel. Critical praise continued with her next two novels, River of Hidden Dreams and Before Women Had Wings.

I have read a lot of books about child abuse. This book was very moving in some parts. I think the ending was a little rocky. It ended kind of abruptly. Personally, I would like to know what happened once the girls and Miss Zora get to Florida and if the mom ever recovers. The end of the book where Bird was getting the last beating, brought tears to my eyes. The way Connie May Fowler describes the child abuse and the events that take place following the fathers death were very good. The story line of the book was wonderful and the only thing that I did not like about the book was that it left you hanging at the end. As a reader, you never find out if the book has a happy ending or if the mom stays a drunk and the girls stay in Florida. That was really the only drawback on the book.
This novel puts a real face on abuse This book was next to impossible to put down. The author did an excellent job of showing an abuser (the mother) as both victimizer and victim and was a sober reminder that those little children who are abused all too often grow up to become abusers themselves. In both the real world of criminal justice and in books we all too often see a portrait of abusers as evil people, whitewashing over the fact that they have often been abused themselves. One wonders what kind of people Bird and Phoebe would become if there had not been any intervention. The story instead ends on a hopeful note that perhaps the cycle of abuse might stop.
I loved this book, was going to delete off my "To Read List" so glad I didn't. This book broke my heart, made laugh and gave me hope because it shows that there is still good people in this world.
I recommend this book to everyone. It was tragic and yet at the end you knew that there was hope for everyone. Ms Fowler's treatment of the mother showed deep insight. Things are never black and white. Every women in the world should read this book.
Before Women Had Wings was one of Oprah's early selections--and for good reason--it is a classic. The writing exposes the raw emotions of the characters through their dialoge, attitudes and the things left unsaid as much as the things made obvious...You can feel the confusion and helplessness, anger and frustration.. and the pride in the characters...one of the most compelling books about abuse on the market. Beautifully written.
This book was absolutely awesome i loved it. When reading this book it made it feel so real like i was right there when everythign happened. The author did a great job going into detail. Over all this bok is great.
This was a very good book but no exactly one that is life changing and inspirational. I only felt small emotion but at least there were emotions. I really do like Fowlers style of writing but she just needs to write a book that is dynamic and has deep characters.
If you need a book to read, this should be it. It is the very best book i have ever read. Connie does such a good job and makes the book so realistic. Bird reaches out to you in more ways than one. connie shows you abuse through the eyes of a child and how incredibly funny it can be while at the same time, it is sad. Bird is so innocent, yet she's not.
This is my most favorite book I have ever read. Connie Mae Fowler has made me laugh, and made me cry, and made me understand some things about child abuse. The characters were so developed, I found myself 'looking' for Bird when I went out! An outstanding contribution!
This book narrates on the growing process of women throughout all ages. It's about women struggling with each other, attempting to find themselves. I loved the message of one being the master of restricting yourself or setting yourself free. And how powerful letting go plays a huge role.
Before Women Had Wings is southern writing at it's finest. The characters were so real and believable, I almost had myself convinced that I was Bird. Would love to read more by this author
This book was the best book i have ever read.....i loved it so much i read it twice and let all my friends and family borrow, they all loved it as much as i did!!!

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
Start Time: 09:00PM End Time: 10:00PM
DEAN'S BEST CHANCE OF SAVING SAM LIES WITH CROWLEY — Dean (Jensen Ackles) is devastated after Kevin's death and vows to find the angel that killed him, not only to free Sam (Jared Padalecki), but to seek revenge. Castiel (Misha Collins) arrives at the bunker and suggests they try to separate Sam's brain from the angel's so they can talk to Sam and have him expel Gadreel. However, there's one small problem: the only person who knows how to do that is Crowley (Mark Sheppard). Robert Singer directed the episode written by Andrew Dabb (910).

HP Pavilion dv6t- power cord in and charging but computer doesn't recognize it
Hello all,
Sometimes when I plug my laptop in, my laptop says it's still on battery power, the light on the outside of the ac outlet won't turn on and my battery bar tells me the battery is discharging, even though it is definitely charging, the charging light on the front of the laptop is on and the battery will go to 100%. I don't know how to tell if this is a software issue, an issue with the cord, or an issue with the computer's outlet. Usually when this happens, I unplug it and plug it back in multiple times until the little light comes on and the computer recognizes the ac. Any suggestions? I want to resolve this before my computer gets some kind of electrical shock.
Re: HP Pavilion dv6t- power cord in and charging but computer doesn't recognize it
Hi Rebecca,
i also am having this same issue with my dv6t1200, and today i ordered a replacement power connector off of ebay, when it arrives and after i replace the part i will share my results for you on here. .If intrested the part number for the power connector is 533465-001.best of luck and i will be posting my results in the next few days.
best regards
Re: HP Pavilion dv6t- power cord in and charging but computer doesn't recognize it
I have a pavillion dv6t that is doing this exact same thing. Any resolutions to this issue?
Re: HP Pavilion dv6t- power cord in and charging but computer doesn't recognize it
called HP support and they won't even talk to me unless I pay them for support. This is bogus. Obviously, this is either a known issue or a normal indication that either the battery or the ac adaptor is malfuctioning.
So, as I understand it, these are my choices:
1. Give in to HP extortion and pay them just to talk, in hopes they actually have a relevant solution.
2. Pay $100 for a new battery and see if that is the problem.
3. Pay $75 for a new ac adaptor to see if that is the problem.
4. Live with the issue and pray that my laptop doesn't just stop working at the worst time possible (on a stage in front of hundreds of people).
Thanks HP, the only thing I know for sure is that I will not be buying another one of your products.

Valeant Gets $2.75 Billion Bridge Loan for Medicis Acquisition
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., Canada's largest publicly traded drugmaker, obtained a $2.75 billion bridge loan to support its acquisition of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is providing the financing, the company said in a filing today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bridge financings usually mature in one year and are often used as backstops to bond offerings or longer-dated bank debt.
"We will finance the transaction with the combination of term loan and bonds," Chief Executive Officer J. Michael Pearson said on a conference call.
The transaction will push the company's leverage, or debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, to 4.2 times, Pearson said.
Moody's Investors Service today placed Valeant on review for downgrade because the acquisition may "push Valeant's leverage beyond Moody's tolerance level for the Ba3 rating", credit analyst Michael Levesque wrote in a research report.
Valeant is acquiring Medicis for $44 per share, representing a 39 percent premium to Medicis's trading price at market close on Aug. 31.
Bridge facilities are short-term loans that usually mature in one year and are often used as backstops to bond offerings or longer-dated bank debt.

Ivan Misner, founder of Business Network International, explains his concept of doing six things a thousand times.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): "What I often find is that business people look for these bright, shiny object," he says. "Oh look at this, this is a great idea, let's try this, let's try that... no. You really want to be successful? You have to do things over and over and over again, consistently. "We are what we do, repeatedly. Therefore excellence is not a single act -- it's a habit."
So I thought that I might write a quick review of every self-help book ever written all right here in this one little post. Simple enough. I love the easy jobs. Surely it couldn't be that hard, could it? I figured that maybe I could take the important lessons from every self-help book I've read and every life experience I've endured, condense all that into fifty key points and save everybody a whole bunch of reading time. Sure, global book sales in the self-help field might take a down-turn for a decade or so, but I'm willing to take that chance and put in a solid sixty minutes (or so) work for the good of humanity; my gift to mankind.
Selfless I know.
I thought that perhaps I could follow Stephen Covey's lead (the Seven Habits) and come up with my own list of say…

Great Slavica! Yes, this post gives us a lot of interesting insights to be successful and it easy to read!
Brrriiinnng. The alarm clock buzzes in another hectic weekday morning. You leap out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with barely a moment to think. A stressful commute gets your blood pressure climbing.

You could spend hours reading advice on how to improve your diet or become more organized. But maybe you'd be better off using that time to take a nap in the afternoon.
Via Barb Jemmott
donhornsby's insight:
One of my recent life changes is a focus on getting enough sleep. In the past, I have tended to be one who would burn the candle at both ends.
This is an interesting idea....
(Quote): Of all the advice you get about how to improve your life, does this sound like the one thing you'd be very happy to add to your daily routine?
Some habits will help you live a better life. They'll help you improve what's already working or help you fix what's not working very well.
But what about habits that completely change the game entirely? What are the questions that uproot your beliefs, shake them from its roots and move you into a bigger pot?
These are seven habits that won't just improve your game, or help you "level up." They'll help you play a different game, one that you completely design yourself.
Regularly engage in time travel. Often the best way to solve a problem is to have a conversation with your future self...

About Us

Recent tensions between Taiwan and Japan over the disputed Tiaoyutai Islands remind us that relations between the two neighboring island nations have by no means been cordial for much of the last century.
Taiwan is an island of many riches of the greatest variety. At present, it is one of the world's great computer manufacturers, but centuries ago it was known as the "Granary of China," producing tea, camphor, and sugar cane.
The first time I read about Silver Stream Cave (銀河洞) in an old Chinese guidebook, I felt sure my shaky Chinese skills had translated the description of the place completely wrong.
It often seems to me that Taiwanese do not travel really to see places, but rather travel to various eateries to taste the local delicacies.
Anyone who's stood at the summit of Mount Jade on a clear morning will long remember the unbeatable panorama over the surrounding mountains from the roof of Taiwan.
I am floating in the steaming hot springs of the aboriginal mountain village of Chingchuan (清泉), an hour's ride from the foothills of Chutung (竹東), not far from Hsinchu (新竹) City. Outside, the air is chilly.
Taiwan's government is working hard to attract more foreign tourists to the island, and one market niche where progress is being made is bird-watching.
In this, the third of four installments following the adventures of nine brave cyclists riding 800 kilometers from Taipei to Kending over eight days, we look at stages five and six, which took us from Sun Moon Lake, up and across the mighty Central Cordillera, and down the superb East Rift Valley to Antong Hot Spring.
It's not surprising, considering that Taiwan has literally thousands of named hills, mountains and peaks, that some place names get used more than once to describe different summits, which can become a little confusing.
Have you ever wondered where the water you drink comes from? Well, if you live in the Taipei area, the answer is most likely Feicui Reservoir (翡翠水庫), a major waterworks that winds through the valleys about 30km off the city and supplies water to about 4 million of its residents.

I'm trying this recipe for the first time, but my dough came out super crumbly. So much so, that I can't even put any cookies together because the dough just crumbles apart. How can I fix this?
Peanut Butter Cookies
From EatingWell: March/April 2012
It's quick and easy to mix together these slice-and-bake peanut butter cookies whenever you need something sweet. The recipe makes enough dough so you can bake half and put the other half in the freezer—ready to pull out and bake up a few fresh cookies anytime.

I bought this printer on black Friday. I am not too technical, but can follow an instruction book. It was easy to set up (even for me). I have printed/copied/scanned with this printer and am pleased with all results. Printing just takes about 2-3 seconds per page. Scanning takes about 5-10 seconds per page and the document is on your computer wirelessly as soon as the job completes. Copying takes just a few seconds as well. I was worried about the quality of the scanner, but I did some tests with some documents written in pencil and it scanned the image clear and dark enough. I was surprised and happy about this. It comes with a USB cord just in case you don't like using it with wireless (which I guess it's nice to at least have the option). The fact that this printer is e-print capable was a big plus for me too. So even if you aren't home, you can e-mail a document to your printer at home and it will print it automatically for you.
I bought this printer so I could print from my iPhone and iPad 2 and it works. No additional apps needed. Had a little snag during installation but went to HP.COM and the installation finished. Once installation was complete, all of my Apple products recognized the printer and I was able to print.
I bought the printer on Black Friday for $39. I really didn't take the time to study wireless printers. I figured for 39 bucks I could take the chance. After the ease of setting it up and printing several test pages, I would say it works pretty well. One test print was three rooms away and it printed pretty quickly. I am curious how the ink holds up. Overall quiete pleased so far.
I have never had a printer so easy to install and use! I gave up on Lexmark because of constant "printer head" problems and it was a complete waste of money and was returned. I love all of the features of this printer and I still can't believe I've had it for a month with absolutely no problems at all! I can print and scan from my laptop in the next room and I can even send an e-mail to the printer itself, from anywhere, and it prints! The quality is even surprising. The hp printer my relatives have was twenty dollars more than mine and the printing quality is sub-par in comparison, even with new ink cartridges. I love this printer...
I bought this printer during the black friday sale , it has been a great buy , it only took about 15 minutes to setup and now i can print from my ipad and iphone , i highly recommend this to anyone needing a air-print printer or for anyone wanting a great lower priced printer , scanner , copier.
I bought this printer at the Black Friday Sale online for $39.00 and it works great. I can now print directly from my iPhone using AirPrint and wirelessly from my MacBook Pro.
I wanted an HP printer that was compact and came equipped with HP's Airprint--the ability to print from iPads and iPhones etc. I came across this great deal on Wal-Mart's website for the printer and an 8gb PNY jump drive for $49.99! The printer was a snap to setup and connect to my secure Wi-Fi network. After downloading the HP Airprint App on Itunes, I was printing e-mails from my iPhone! This printer is one of the smaller printers that scans, copies and prints and it fit just right in a small area of my desk! It prints quickly and with excellent quality. I've installed and used many printers over the years and this rates as one of the best ever. I chose to have the printer and jump drive delivered free to my local Wal-Mart after paying for it online and in about a week they notified me via e-mail that it was there for pick up. The lowest I've ever seen this printer sell was $79.99 so I'm very satisfied with the price and this awesome printer.
So easy to set up and connects with everything I have...laptop, iPad, and iPhone!!!!
I am very happy with this printer, got it on a black friday deal, so far so good. it's very light. However, the eprint, its only seem to work for wireless connections, although the manual says it can also be connected to a non wireless network. ie. cable
I love it!! I can print my coupons from my Iphone and my Ipod touch too <3 best purchase ever
I really like the wireless, all-in-one feature. Setup was technically easy; however, mechanically was inconvenient due to the very short USB cable which came with the unit. I had to place the unit on a chair next to my CPU to load the software and drivers. It prints, scans and copies excellently. The downside so far is that I am having problems setting up the network function.
Was so excited about this printer, because it has such good reviews! Set up was indeed easy and quick. Worked great. For two weeks. Then out of nowhere, an error code appeared (OXC4B841AHWLMICCI2C). Googled it and found (mostly), that this is a 'fatal' error. Called customer service, spoke with a CSR for over 10 minutes who couldn't even understand my problem, much less provide a solution. Tried numerous things at her advice, none worked. So after 2 weeks and using 3 times ... this baby is packed up in its box and headed back to the store for a return. What a disappointment.
Tried to hook up wireless to my HP notebook G62 model. Only worked with USB connection, could not get it to work with my wireless router. No problems with my other notebook (Toshiba) so I called HP support. Was on the phone for 7 hours with the HP tech, even he could not get it to work. He escalated the call after giving up cause we both haven't eaten any food from 9am to 4pm. Said he would call back the next day to continue (gave me a ticket number), well he never called back. I ended up returning it to Walmart after spending 3 days before giving up on it. It also messed up my computer, so I had to uninstall my old printer as well. The HP tech even used remote access to take control of my notebook. He was very good at everything but was stumped by it all. I believe he didn't call back because he really did run out of ideas after spending 7 hours on it. His salary ended up costing more than the printer itself.
This printer has really great features. It does exactly what it says it does with easy set up. My only HOWEVER is that the ink cartridges hold very little ink. I don't print a lot, maybe a page or two a day. So going through at least one black cartridge a week is absurd. I even have the settings on economy as to use less ink. If they could make the ink go further than a dozen pages I would be 100% pleased with this purchase! Because seriously it has every bell and whistle I wanted at a great price.
Great product at a great price. Would've given it 5 stars if it was also a fax.
This printer is Amazing. It prints super fast! It allows me to send print jobs from my phone and other home computers on a wireless connection!! Setup was easy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an inexpensive wireless all-in-one printer. Great product!
We love this printer! We've used it to print from the computer, iPad and iPod Touch. The wireless function worked perfectly, as did the email function. We wanted to get an HP because the ink is so much less expensive than most other brands.
bought this on black friday for 39.00 this is the easiest printer i ever had to set it the printer itself tells you what to do we have 2 laptops and can print from anywhere in the house using the wi-fi love it and it prints nice as well highly recommend
Hard to beat price with admirable performance. Definitely would buy again or recommend to my clients.

New ICQ Password Policy Meets With Customer Dissatisfaction
Submitted by hitbsecnews on Thu, 2000-08-31 20:08
Saw this over at HNN
In an attempt to pull the plug on rampant account theft, ICQ has cleaned up its password retrieval process. The problem with ICQ's solution is users are finding themselves locked out of their own accounts for reasons they can't explain or correct on their own. AOL dismisses these "complaints" and maintains that everything is going along as planned.

The Harker Heights Kiwanis Club was finally able to throw a surprise 90th birthday party for longtime member retired Gen. Robert M. Shoemaker.
His actual birthday was Feb. 18.
"We had an ice cream cake made about three weeks ago and were prepared to surprise him, but he wasn't in attendance that week nor the following week," said Vivian Marschik, club secretary. "We were unsure when he might finally appear so I took the cake home with me and set it in my freezer."
Shoemaker was also honored by Shoemaker High School, named in his honor, on his actual birthday.
After all club business was completed, members serenaded him with "Happy Birthday."
Not only did the club celebrate his big milestone birthday, they also lauded him for his 35 years of membership to the club.
"Two surprise birthday parties is really something," he said.

Poirot believed he could save the man from the gallows. What he didn't realise was that his own life was now in great danger.
©1953 Agatha Christie Mallowan; (P)2002 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, London UK
"The plot is perfect and the characters are wonderful." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"The best Poirot since such pre-war classics as Cards on the Table." (New York Times)
"So simple, so economical, so completely baffling. Every clue scrupulously given, with superb sleight of hand." (Sunday Times)
There are no reviews for this title yet.
"One of her best"
Not as well known as 'orient express' or 'death on the Nile', but this book is one of her best with solid back story (where are they now) and excellent characterisations of all the residents at Broadhinney. Coupled with High Fraser's narration this is one of the best Christies I've download.
You can't go wrong with Agatha Christie. Time and again I return to her books (spoken or word) due to the timeless quality and appeal of her work.
"Love it"
I love Hugh Fraser narrating Agatha Christie
now own almost all of the them. Definitely recommend
"Mrs McGinty is Dead"
How is it that your past always catches, you up? An old person is murdered, they try the culprit, committed to death, but the detective who collected all the evidence isn't happy good old Poirot is on hand to help his friend, can he do it, before his friend retires & the suspect is hanged in 3 weeks......
This is my favourite Agatha Christie, Poirot, story. Whilst one suspects the murderer pretty quickly, the twists and turns and individuals stories are fascinating as they unfold.
Hugh Frasier's narration is superb. His vocal characterisations brilliant. I love his voice, and his range of accents etc is extraordinary. You could be listening to a play, he is so good.

This is the best I have ever tasted. Italian restaurants could take lessons from this recipe.
This was OUTSTANDING!!! The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I too browned the chicken in the skillet, then dumped everything into a casserole dish and baked for 30-45 minutes. I'm a cheese nut, so of course I added a ton of mozz! Thanks again!
When I saw all the 5 star reviews for Chicken Parmesan I knew I would have to try Inez's 'Zaar Cult Classic. Once again, Inez, you did not disappoint. This recipe is so easy to prepare and so very delicious. I don't know how any fine restaurant could prepare it better than this. I prepared this dish exactly as directed and served accompanied with angelhair pasta and Lennie's Glazed Carrots. Everyone enjoyed it so much! Here's to you, Inez! Thanks for another great one!
I made this dinner for my new boss, and she loved it, as well as my family. This was a recipe that I knew would impress her. Thanks!!
This was excellent. Really easy to make. I love the idea you only need one pan. My husband and son really loved it.
WOW! This is fantastic!!
This was pretty good. I added zucchini and let that 'fry' with the chicken. I used regular white bread crumbs which I sprinkled with garlic, thyme and pepper. That worked just fine. It was easy to make and I think I will make this again. Thanks for the recipe!
WOW!!! This is an incredible recipe! It is VERY easy to prepare, and this is absolutely the best italian dinner I have ever had, and I frequent Italian restaurants! My husband and 2 sons devoured this and asked to have it again! Everyone should make this recipe!!
This is just an amazing dish! It is by far the best italian meal we have ever had. I did not change anything in this-nothing needs changing! It seems like there should be more stars to put on this recipe! It's amazing, very easy to make, very quick to make, very few ingredients, and VERY VERY GOOD!! Thanks for this recipe!! Douglas
Well I will tell you one thing,This is going with me to our next church supper,because I like to get compliments on what I take,and this one will get raves,and everyone will think I spent all day in the kitchen to make it,HA(What they don't know won't hurt them.Thanks Inez for this great recipe.Darlene Summers

He has written over thirty books books on Wicca, Voodoo, and the occult.
Witchcraft From the Inside is your complete guide to the past, present, and future of Witchcraft. See how the ancient pagan traditions developed over time and how they were forced underground with the rise of Christianity.
