Arizona firm says the number of customers using its web-based buying system is growing quickly.
TUCSON, Ariz. - Truly Nolen reports the number of customers who used its web-based buying system more than tripled from 2010 to 2011, and doubled again in 2012.
The company said it expects this trend to continue as it launches a redesigned version of its online buying website in early 2013.
"We're taking our e-commerce to the next level on tablets and other mobile devices," said Michelle Nolen Senner, director of marketing and advertising. "While the system behind the scenes is quite sophisticated, we're working to make sure customers' online buying experience is as seamless as possible."
The new system will allow Truly Nolen to respond to customers more quickly and efficiently, and will guide customers through the best solution to eradicate a particular pest problem, the company said.
"We'll have answers to basic questions before we even step into a home, such as if they have any children or pets, what type of foliage is near the house and where exactly is the problem," Senner said. "By the time customers call us, they are looking for quick solutions and with this information, we'll be able to provide that."

How to Build Your Own Living Wall or Vertical Garden
6 comments:
Thank you for sharing this Jamie, it's a very handy reference! We saw the living wall in person last year and all of us were admiring it, scrutinising how it was done. Perfect timing as we're thinking doing one this year!ReplyDelete
That's a lovely project, a beautiful alternative to the very expensive one! We also have an alternative here in the tropics using dessert plants or cactus in the vertical wall.ReplyDelete

Wow - good for you - been thinking about your wall. Could you divert the down pipe to run through the wall from the top down? I was thinking of a pumice wick (SFpermaculture)/living wall fusion. Thoughts?ReplyDelete
Thank you for showing us how you do this project. We have a huge blank wall that needs something and this is a great idea. We saw some sort of living wall system in an exhibition but it was too expensive for us and your method will work better for our budget. Thanks again.ReplyDelete

I have been researching how to built a living wall and your step and how to photo /drawn was fair the best. It is my weekend project. ThanksReplyDelete
Awesome and detailed explanation of how to construct a living wall. Whats with the headlights? Couldn't wait to get it done I suppose.ReplyDelete

(Fornebu, 25 June 2014) Telenor Norway has selected Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) as its partner to modernize and simplify the fixed network operations. The goal is to improve customer experience through reduced complexity and faster deliveries.Telenor Norway has launched a long-term effort to modernize and simplify products, processes and related IT systems in the fixed area. On 24th June, Telenor Norway signed a contract with TCS as a partner."This is one of the largest change programs in recent history for Telenor Norway. The agreement with TCS represents an important milestone for us. They have the expertise and the methodology we need to simplify work processes, products and IT solutions to the fixed network area. Our aim is to provide customers with better experiences, with improved quality and faster deliveries, while reducing costs," says Berit Svendsen, CEO of Telenor Norway.Radical changeThe telecom market in Norway and globally is undergoing a major upheaval. Technology is evolving faster than ever, with new infrastructure and new services. Telenor invests over 4 billion NOK in infrastructure and services in Norway. Use patterns are changing and we see that data usage is growing rapidly and already more important than the voice of our customers. The competition is international, where global content providers are strong competitors."A dynamic market is in many ways an ideal situation for a strong telecommunications company as Telenor, where new opportunities are opening up and our services are in demand. The challenges we must nevertheless take seriously. Complexity of internal processes and IT systems slows us. At the same time we experience reduced customer base for traditional fixed line services, while costs do not fall at the same rate. Therefore we are now in partnership with TCS radically changing our entire fixed network operations in both voice and broadband," says Svendsen.Always been aheadTelenor Norway has a good knowledge of TCS, since the company from summer of 2010 was one of two main suppliers of IT services (applications management and systems development) to Telenor Norway."In a hyper connected world typified by an unprecedented pace of change, companies that reimagine and simplify their businesses can significantly boost their competitiveness. Telenor has always been ahead of the curve in terms of embracing technology, investing in new markets and staying connected with their customers' evolving needs. We are very pleased to extend our ongoing partnership with them to this vital area of modernizing their fixed line business, using TCS' future fit telecom platform TCS HOBS," says N Chandrasekaran, CEO & Managing Director of TCS.Telenor Norway and TCS signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in March this year and has spent the time since then to the preparation and analysis of IT solutions, products and work processes. The parties are now ready to start detailing the design and transformation of the fixed network. The work will continue until 2018. Terms and conditions of the agreement/contract won't be disclosed by either party. About TCSTata Consultancy Services is one of the largest global service providers, which is considered a "Big 4" brand in the IT and business solutions industry. With over 300,000 employees, the company has operations in 46 countries, including Norway, where it has been expanding its presence since the early 2000's. The company has been consistently rated #1 in terms of customer satisfaction over the past 5 years, in multiple KPMG surveys (KPMG Nordic Service Provider Performance & Satisfaction Study (2010 - 2013) and Whitelane Research (2014)).

Sure, avocados are high in fat—perhaps that's why they've earned the nickname "butter pears"—but most of the fat in an avocado is monounsaturated, the heart-healthy kind that actually lowers bad cholesterol. In recent years, the U.S. government has even revised its official nutrition guidelines to urge Americans to eat more avocados. Moderation is still key, since one medium avocado boasts 30 grams of fat. Try substituting avocadoes for butter or cream cheese, or replace the mayo on your sandwich with avocado slices.

I returned the barn, the chicken coop, the farmer's house, and a couple other items on the module after weathering them, adding some details, and slightly modifying some of them.

It's been a good life
Prometheus Books, 2002 - Biography & Autobiography - 309 pages
As one of the most gifted and prolific writers of the twentieth century, Isaac Asimov became legendary for his inexhaustible creativity, wide-ranging intellectual curiosity, and talent for explaining complex subjects in clear, concise prose. While regaling his readers with an incredible opus of almost five hundred entertaining and illuminating science fiction and nonfiction books, he also found time to write a three-volume autobiography. Now these volumes have been condensed into one by Asimov's wife, Janet, who also shares excerpts from letters he wrote to her. Together these writings provide an intimate portrait of a creative genius whose love of learning and playing with ideas is evident on every page.
Reading this autobiography is like sitting down with Isaac Asimov and experiencing his witty, engaging, and brilliant personality firsthand. We are treated to many marvelous stories about his upbringing in Depression-era Brooklyn, his early fascination with the new science fiction pulp magazines, the thrill of his first published story, the creation of his well-known story "Nightfall, " the genesis of the Foundation series, and the evolution of his creative life as a writer.
He also reveals his inner thoughts about and experiences with various luminaries in science and science fiction. Above all, Asimov's autobiography conveys unbounded enthusiasm for his craft, the infectious joy of learning and creating, complete intellectual honesty, his strong humanist convictions, and his infinite fund of good humor and optimism even at the end of his life -- all told in the lively clear writing style that was his trademark.
Although Janet Jeppson Asimov concludes this work with a shockingrevelation about her husband's death, the volume is clearly intended as a celebration -- as the title suggests -- of a wonderful, creative life. As a poignant coda to this work, Janet has appended one short story that was Isaac's favorite, and his 400th essay on his thoughts about science.

Jaws is an obscure 800 foot long rib of rock, lost in the canyon between the Second and Third Flatiron. It rises from the canyon and runs Southeast. Its summit is the highest point in the rib of rock between the East and West Ironing boards.
Getting There
Hike the Bluebell shelter trail and take the standard East face approach to the Third Flatiron. Before you cross the boulderfield leading to the Third Flatiron, hike West on a faint trail. This trail will climb uphill between the Second and Third Flatirons.

Bryan Alvarez:
With the exception of SummerSlam on Sunday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, we've got a quiet weekend.
We're looking for reports on last night's TNA house show in Robstown, TX and tonight's show in Laredo.
We're also looking for reports from last nights AAA Verano de Escandalo, its No. 2 show of the year.
Raw will be taped in Las Vegas on Monday night with Floyd Mayweather Jr. as guest host. Smackdown and ECW are taped Tuesday night in Phoenix.
A detailed look at Kurt Angle's arrest, his reaction, the charges, the explanation and more, as well as a rundown of the Gina Carano vs. Cris Cyborg match, a business breakdown, two major wrestling personalities running for senate, another running for mayor, the turmoil in TNA, G-1 Climax tournament and a look back at the early days of women's wrestling in the U.S. with the death of Gladys "Killem" Gillem are among the headlines in Monday's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
All subscriptions to the newsletter and web site for more than one month will include what is traditionally our most talked about and best selling issue of the year, the 2009 Hall of Fame issue.
The issue is available now on the web site to premium members.
The issue also has a look at a network carrying wrestling and a major disagreement with the promotion and where things stand, including a television taping when the announcers didn't show up.
We look at TNA's decision making process when it comes to Kurt Angle, Angle's history of problems, a look back at Angle being let go by WWE, all the companies that were after him at the time, his move to TNA, his relationship with Rhaka Khan, predictions ahead of time of where it would lead, and the blow-by-blow of the blowup between the two. We look at the time line, the Angle explanation, what TNA told the wrestlers, the police report on the case, what Angle is charged with as well as additional charges that were filed this past week that have not been covered in other stories.
We also look at Angle's interviews on the subject, what he told TNA about how it went down, his explanation for using Growth Hormone, his feeling about spending time in jail, the coverage of the story, how WWE differs from TNA in a situation like this and story contradictions.
We also have a business rundown on the Gina Carano vs. Cris Cyborg match. We look at what it told about at least Carano's drawing power, as well as women's MMA. We look at the reaction, what hasn't been reported anywhere about the finish, the reaction of the fans, the excitement level in the crowd, ratings in detail, Showtime's biggest MMA events in history, the live crowd and how it differed from a usual Strikeforce event, and why the fight took place on Showtime and not CBS.
We look at the most watched MMA fight in history, ratings for the UFC competition with Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir replayed, why ratings weren't close to Lesnar vs. Couture, how the events did compared with other sports on that day, whether the UFC audience and Strikeforce audience were similar and how the loss affects women's MMA going forward.
We have notes on the TNA & Spike TV negotiations, the changes in TNA this week, creative issues, as well as full coverage of the Hard Justice show with poll results and star ratings.
We also have coverage of the Strikeforce show, including why the reaction in the U.S. and Canada to the event was so different, Fedor Emelianenko coming, a look at the issues regarding dates, the future of Nick Diaz and other future Strikeforce matches, as well as how each match on the show did in ratings.
We've also got updates on Jeff Hardy and his return, Vince McMahon directive for Smackdown, an update on the first PPV after SummerSlam, a story that could be very significant to WWE in October if things don't change, because it will mean almost a guaranteed significant ratings drop for a key show.
We also look at a television show that will have several WWE guests in the fall.
We have an update on the guest hosts for Raw including a huge name up for doing it. We look at whether the Raw guest hosting has made a difference in the ratings. We look at how publicity isn't always good, the return of Shawn Michaels, the making of the SummerSlam show, the firing of Nick Dinsmore, and even some early news regarding Wrestlemania 28.
We also look at upcoming WWE planned lineups, the Rise of Fall of WCW and weekend WWE house show business and rundowns.
We also have a look at the G-1 Climax tournament, including the business, the Makabe story, and the history of the tournament.
In a look back at the early days of women's wrestling, we have a feature on Gladys "Killem" Gillem, and her role in women's wrestling in another generation. We look at her thoughts on her heyday as the No. 2 woman wrestler in the country, and the interesting reasons she quit.
We also have our usual weekly features such as the most in-depth look at the ratings, the results from the major league events held around the world over the past week, and rundown of the major television shows.
The Wrestling Observer ranges from 25,000 to 40,000 words covering pro wrestling and MMA all over the world.
Each issue has coverage and analysis of all the major news, plus every issue breaks major news stories before the Internet sites and has the most complete look at the business as a whole anywhere.

-- Multichannel News reported yesterday that if DirecTV and Versus cannot come to a carriage agreement by September 1st, Versus will be dropped from the channel. Versus, of course, is home to all the WEC events.
-- WWE SummerSlam Axxess takes place today in LA, so if you attend we'd love any reports from the event.
-- Matt Hardy on his twitter noted that Jeff Hardy would still be with WWE after SummerSlam. Technically that's correct since he'll probably work at least Raw and perhaps the Smackdown tapings this coming week, but then he's finished. Hardy is being advertised for Tuesday night in Phoenix, which is expected to be his last date.

-- Dan Wahlers writes: I heard ads for Summerslam running all day Friday in regular rotation on WFAN Sports Radio 660 AM, which covers the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut area. Some of the ads would just mention Summerslam, and the date and time of the show, and other longer ads would actually mention matches. The return of DX vs. Legacy was mentioned as the top match (they mentioned HHH and Shawn Michaels by name, but not Rhodes and Dibiase, big surprise there) followed by Orton vs. Cena and then Hardy vs. Punk in a TLC Match. Then the announcer said "The Unified Tag Team Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and ECW Championship will also be defended." I guess the ECW Title officially ranks behind the tag titles, and the I-C Title on the depth chart. I'm not sure if it was just random, or if it signifies where they view the importance of each match. But it definitely gave you the impression that DX vs. Legacy was the main event of the show.
-- For those who loved the first season of Bully Beatdown, the show returns for its second season on August 27th (Thursday, new day) at 9:30 PM.

DRS: Hot Spot should be removed, says Michael Vaughan
Hot Spot should be removed from the decision review system (DRS), says former England captain Michael Vaughan.
The infrared system has been part of DRS since 2009, but has drawn criticism in the Ashes series for failing to detect when a batsman edges the ball.
Inventor Warren Brennan wants the use of tape on bats to be banned, and said a protective coating "definitely diminishes Hot Spot marks".
But Vaughan said: "He's admitted his system will not work. It has to go."
What is Hot Spot?
When the ball comes into contact with the bat or protective gear, friction generates heat as a result of energy transferring from the ball, which usually shows up as a bright spot
And Alec Stewart, another former England captain, said Brennan's suggestion was "laughable".
There are currently no laws banning the use of tape and the International Cricket Council (ICC) said there was "no intention" of any imminent changes.
ICC general manager Geoff Allardice, who met both Ashes teams in the build-up to the fourth Test in Durham this week to discuss concerns over DRS, said: "We listened to Warren's view and there may be something in it but I'd think we'd want to gain a lot more evidence before we'd look at rule changes or anything like that.
"This was a theory that he put up on Monday this week. He did some tests that he felt supported that theory. We would like to see some more evidence from on the ground with players in action to support that."
Hot Spot was devised in 2007 by BBG Sports and works using heat sensors and infrared cameras to determine what the ball has made contact with.
Earlier this week reports from Australian broadcaster Channel Nine suggested players from both England and Australia had used tape to prevent edges showing on Hot Spot.
Kevin Pietersen was the only player named in the report, and the England batsman vehemently denied the allegation.
Ashes Hot Spot controversies
Jonathan Trott, first Test at Trent Bridge
South African third umpire Marais Erasmus overturned Pakistani on-field umpire Aleem Dar's original not out decision for an lbw appeal from Mitchell Starc even though he did not have access to Hot Spot. It was Trott's first ball, and the host broadcaster was using Hot Spot to show a replay of the previous wicket.
Usman Khawaja, third Test at Old Trafford
The Australia batsman was given out caught behind off spinner Graeme Swann by on-field umpire Tony Hill. The review showed no Hot Spot mark and no audio, but third umpire Kumar Dharmasena upheld Hill's original decision. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd called it "one of the worst cricket umpiring decisions I have ever seen".
Kevin Pietersen, third Test at Old Trafford
Pietersen reviewed the decision of on-field umpire Hill after being caught behind in the second innings. The verdict was upheld by third umpire Dharmasena on the audio evidence, despite no mark showing up on Hot Spot.
In a statement issued in response to criticism of edges being missed, Brennan said: "More than anyone else, BBG Sports wanted to know why. Following the Manchester Test match we analysed contentious Hot Spot decisions from the Ashes series and decided to purchase several of the latest generation of cricket bats to undertake thorough testing.
"The majority of bats had some form of protective coating that would wrap around onto the edges of the bat. Strangely enough, this protective coating would cover only half of the edge of the bat and not the entire edge. We believed this could cause the front edge of the bat to have a different thermal signature than the back edge of the bat.
"The type and thickness of the protective coating unquestionably affects the thermal signature of the Hot Spot system. In layman's terms, the protective coating definitely diminishes Hot Spot marks.
"In order to achieve optimum Hot Spot results then the removal of protective coating from bats edges needs to occur. This will allow for the best thermal signatures between cricket balls and natural timber cricket bats."
Vaughan told the BBC's Test Match Special: "The game of cricket isn't here to protect his business. We just want technology that will present the right result more often than not.
"In this series, Hot Spot hasn't produced the right result and to suggest that players take the protective covering off their bats is utter nonsense.
"It's not down to the game of cricket to try to help Hot Spot, it's down to Hot Spot to help the game of cricket. He clearly knows that his piece of technology isn't good enough so he's trying to devise a way that the game can help his technology and his business.
"Hot Spot clearly doesn't work with the tape on top and for that reason I don't think it can carry on."
Stewart added: "It's an embarrassing statement, just ridiculous. If you're going to produce something like Hot Spot, you've got to make sure you've done all the testing before you take it to the ICC to be used for international cricket.
"I played in the 80s, 90s, early 2000s and bat tape and coatings that go on bats have been around for 30 or 40 years so for him to suggest you shouldn't have a coating or a cover or any tape on your bat is laughable and I'd be embarrassed if I was associated with that company's statement."

Hotspot sometimes shows that a batsman has clearly edged it. This means he can be given out for a catch or not out for an LBW. This simple truth in itself makes hotspot useful, and Vaughan wrong.
The fact that it sometimes misses an edge just means we have to use it correctly, and not assume that the lack of a white mark means there was definitely no edge.
Its a useful part of a wider system.

The whole game has gone bonkers with this rubbish. The decision to give a batsman out should be that of the umpire at the crease, when he decides the batsman did indeed nick the ball. It just oozes desperation when they have to go to review and look at the hotspot to see if the ball nicked the bat.
Like the old Cliche, It just isn't playing cricket.

Too many people's default position is: be as negative as possible. When something good like DRS, goal line technology or hawkeye comes along, they put all their energy into arguing why it's not 100% accurate to hide the fact that it's 200% better than human eyes
Tony Hill is a poor umpire & DRS has saved him & the series. Funny that the Aussies stopped whining when decisions went in their favour.

12th August 2013 - 15:23
Vaughan's right bats shouldn't have to be designed to suit hotspot - this isn't about players deliberately tampering with them. And as it stands, what's the point of reviewing a 'caught' decision, as even if the 3rd Ump sees no mark, he won't overturn the decision - eg Khawaja. But if there IS a mark, that's still conclusive surely, so it's worth the fielding side appealing. But is that fair?
Comment number 146.Commentator
12th August 2013 - 14:39
Hot Spot is not fool proof, it makes mistakes. If batsmen use tape on bats they should not moan when the system is fooled. Either ban tape on bats or find aother system, the two do not mix.
Comment number 145.Cliff Wood
12th August 2013 - 12:33
If technology was introduced to prevent bad decisions does that not in practice imply giving batsmen out in error rather than giving someone not out when there is the fainest of nicks. Surely the way to go is to only allow the batting team two appeals?
Comment number 144.Avalon
12th August 2013 - 11:08
@142.paullakesknees , the only question is would the umpires second guess themselves and what if the do make a mistake and dont refer it.
As some will not refer as with most humans will beleive that they dont make mistakes.
The issue is that its not used for its original purpose the howler (Khawaja at OT, Trott at TB), but used to buy a wicket.

Couldn't agree more. Let the 3 umpires work as a team, using whatever evidence is available, allowing them to proactively speak to one another ( including allowing the 3rd umpire to intervene). Scrap the referrals quota and let the decision-makers make the decisions
Comment number 141.Alan
12th August 2013 - 9:40
The whole DRS debacle should to be reviewed. Having players acting as pseudo umpires is quite ridiculous. If the aim is to get the highest % of correct decisions, the on-field umpire should have access to a third umpire when there is any doubt, eg. "can you see any reason why the batsmen should not be out lbw". Hawk-eye, snicko, sound and hotsspot should be used together to arrive at a decision.
Comment number 140.Zanderzelle
12th August 2013 - 9:28
I think part of the problem is the media / public's interpretation of how it is supposed to be used. The media talk like hotspot is the conclusive evidence in a review, but the umpires are also listening to sounds, looking for deviations etc. and may ignore hotspot if they think some of the other evidence is more compelling.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — The United States and Canada will play for the women's hockey gold medal for the fourth time in the five Olympics since the sport was added to the Winter Games.
"We feel like we've prepared all year for this game," said Natalie Spooner, who scored twice Monday in a 3-1 win against Switzerland to put Canada in the Olympic final.
The U.S. joined them by beating Sweden 6-1. The teams have two days off to prepare for a rematch of the 1998, 2002 and 2010 gold medal games.
"The last four years, that's been our goal," said U.S. forward Julie Chu, a four-time Olympian who has two silver medals and a bronze. "We're going for a different color this time."
Megan Bozek and Brianna Decker each had a goal and two assists as the Americans outshot Sweden 70-9. The U.S. has medaled in every Winter Games since women's hockey was added to the Olympic program in 1998, and just once — with a loss to Sweden in the 2006 semifinals — failed to reach the championship game.
Canada, the three-time defending champion that has played in every Olympic final, will have a chance for a fourth straight gold after beating Switzerland.
Not since the inaugural tournament in Nagano have the Americans beaten Canada in the Olympics, losing in the championship game in 2002 and '10 and again in the preliminary round of the Sochi Games on Wednesday.
Canada and the United States played seven times in the run-up to the Olympics, with the Americans going 4-3.
"We've played a lot of great games against them," Spooner said. "It's going to be another one of those in the final.
There are 11 players on the U.S. roster who played in the gold medal game in Vancouver, but Chu is the only one who was also on the team in Salt Lake City or Turin. Coach Katey Stone would like to see her get the gold medal.

Concerns about drainage prompted another abutter to sue the town for approving the project in 2010, Moldoff said. The lawsuit was later withdrawn.
Board members had numerous questions about the project, but only Phyllis O'Grady voted in opposition.
"I think it could work if it had a lot less houses on this hill," O'Grady said. "At this time, I'm still not going to approve it."
The board also approved a request from the Boys & Girls Club of Salem to keep a 40-foot storage trailer behind its building at 3 Geremonty Drive.
The trailer was donated to the club by Victorian Park owner Larry Belair, who is closing his miniature golf course and family entertainment center this fall after 22 years.
But town regulations prevent the club from keeping the trailer on its property for more than a year unless it receives a variance, Moldoff said.
Boys & Girls Club representative Mark Gross said the club would use the trailer to store athletic equipment.

5 Easy Ways To Be Clutter-Free For Spring
- Courtesy of California Closets
It's hard to know where it all began (a pile here, an unsorted drawer there), and suddenly the clutter is out of control. Luckily, spring is the perfect time to wipe the slate clean and get organized. Glo talked to experts in decorating, organizing, design and more, and put together this step-by-step guide to tidying up your space in no time—or at least no more than a weekend. Let the de-cluttering begin!
Step 1: Be A Ruthless Curator
Your collections have a deep emotional meaning and say lots about you. Show personality with these rules of display.
• Secrets from a Stylist host Emily Henderson says visual vignettes "look better in threes or odd numbers." Pare down your assortment of teacups or vintage perfume bottles to the items you truly love. (To help you trim down mementos, consider sharing beloved treasures with family or friends who will appreciate them.)
• Keep the chosen display pieces together, rather than scattering them about. You can arrange objects according to size, shape and color.
• Use instinct rather than strict rules to create proportion, balance and symmetry. The result? Imperfectly perfect, natural-feeling design you can live with.

Publisher's Description
"When Maggie opened her eyes that New Year's Day some seventeen months ago, I felt like I could see again. The fog lifted off my soul, and for the first time since our son had died and she had gone to sleepsome four months, sixteen days, eighteen hours, and nineteen minutes earlierI took a breath deep enough to fill both my lungs."
Life began again for Dylan Styles when his beloved wife Maggie awoke from a coma. A coma brought on by the intense two-day labor that resulted in heartbreaking loss. In this poignant love story that is redolent with Southern atmosphere, Dylan and Maggie must come to terms with their past before they can embrace their future.
Publisher's Weekly
Fans of Martin's Christy-nominated debut novel, The Dead Don't Dance (2004), will be delighted to see this somewhat uneven sequel in which Martin picks up the story of Dylan Styles, a farmer and junior college instructor. His long vigil at his comatose wife Maggie's bedside following the stillbirth of their son has ended with her awakening. Now, life in Digger, S.C., is beginning to return to normal or so it seems. Together, Dylan and Maggie try to rebuild a life interrupted, grieve the loss of their son and ponder trying for another baby. But as the couple pick up the pieces of their relationship, tragedies perhaps an overabundance of them are just around the corner. "What makes the broken whole?" Dylan wonders. "How does deep-down pain, interwoven like sinew, come untangled?" Martin's plot twists, including one involving Pastor John's past that comes back to haunt him and the people he cares for, may seem like a distraction from the stronger theme of Maggie and Dylan's own struggles in taking their marriage forward. One of Martin's many strengths is in his rich portrayals of people, but he has a penchant for overusing similes, and his often beautiful writing sometimes needs to be tightened. The ending laudably offers hope and redemption without too-neat resolution. (Sept. 12) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
