Long ago, TuscanyCircle email notification was removed due to numerous bugs. A while ago, it was restored--after being significantly improved--for trusted users. Now, it's being made available to all registered users again. Go to "account", then "my notify settings".

Email notifications are sent out when new posts are published and when new or edited comments are published. The notifications have just the title and a link to the new content. » read more »

When you go to a TuscanyCircle page for which you're not authorized (when you're not logged in yet), you'll be presented with a log-in form. This is for your convenience. However, note that this is not a secure log-in form (no SSL, not HTTPS). This means, in theory even if unlikely, your password could be intercepted. If you want to use a secure log-in form, use the regular one in the left-hand menu. » read more »

If you want to use the Lord's name in Hebrew in a blog or comment on TuscanyCircle, just use the name Yehovah. It will be replaced with the Tetragrammaton. It looks like this: יהוה

A while back I mentioned that we had our roof replaced. While our experience with our homeowner's insurance company was quite good, our experience with the roofing company that we went with, Academy Roofing, was not. » read more »

I'm not recommending a business, per se, but a product. Ever since I saw a former coworker with this screwdriver, I have sought it myself--for years now. I couldn't remember the brand or name, only the features. Every time I went to a hardware store (a frequent occurrence), I looked for it. I finally stumbled across it at Home Depot in Tucker yesterday (29 & JC). Of all places, it was in the light bulb section. Go figure. » read more »

Lillian Vernon's online shopping is very substandard. First, processing of the order takes a full week (meaning they sit on it doing nothing for that time). Second, unless you pay unusually high rates for rapid delivery, their normal delivery mechanism is also amazingly slow. Considering first class USPS takes only 2-4 days to go most anywhere in the nation, 2-3 weeks for delivery is pretty sad. Third, no tracking information is offered via email. Fourth, the tracking information on the website is wrong. » read more »

I received the Sonorix C3 bluetooth headset/headphones device several months ago as a gift. Not only is it a wireless headset, but it supports the A2DP profile (stereo headphones), too. There are several unique features of the C3. It clips to your shirt. It supports the use of any standard headphones; it has a 3.5mm jack. This last feature was especially important to me, as I am able to choose whatever headphones, earpieces, etc., that I desire. It has a built-in microphone for headset use. » read more »

I recommend Jerry Knoff if you're ever in the market to buy or sell real estate. He's a very enthusiastic broker with values rarely seen in real estate. He used to be an accountability brother of mine, so I know him very well. He's conscientious, goes above and beyond the call of duty, works tirelessly for you, and exudes integrity. He's a real professional. » read more »

Guven's has been a consistently awesome jeweler. They're sold-out believers. They always give very fair deals--far more fair to the customer than to their own bottom line. They are very helpful and attentive. They're quick. They're also patient as they wait on customers. Their taste is impeccable, too. We have frequented Guven's for years, and we're still amazed by their service and prices.
