I use to have Milgard vinyls for a while and after a few years, I felt drafts and my house was getting colder and colder every month with my furnace on max! it turns out that window expansion and contraction broke the seals around the edges. Anyways...
I had a Penguin appointment last night. They did not come off like rude salesmen at all, more like a window consultant. Everything he said did point towards penguin, but he had evidence from cross sections of other windows, glass differences, etc. bottom line, it has an insulating factor of 10, my drywall is 12 so this is pretty good. Any other window on the market is r-4.2, and I've done my research! The PVC is the same vinyl as any other windows except that they extracted the petroleum and mixed acryllics and hardeners into it. The same material they use in the windows is boeing 747 fuselages, thats nothing to laugh about. The insulation in their frames is the same in your refrigerator. This window is no joke. They guaranteed me 40% minimum energy savings or pay the difference, and in the course of 10 years i'm set to save over 20k. I called my real estate agent today, he checked with his office and did comfirm that with any new gas filled window the price of the home will increase 118% on average, depending on the consumer reports expected lifespan on the window. So for a Milgard builder's grade window 8-10 year shelf life, 110% will remain until that shelf life expires. The penguin window will retain the 118% for 50+ years. With all the evidence I've gathered and reserach I've done, I am completely convinced I have just purchased the best product on the market today. I also know why Penguin gets alot of flak.
Penguin, has a product that costs about 5-6 times more to make. The only way people will buy is if there are sales people doing door to door appointments. This makes lots of sense. Would the majority of people going to Lowe's pick up a 2,000 window, or would you go with the 150 window? At a hardware store, no financing and no custom sizes.

Was looking for a quick dinner and ran into the Amici bistro. The food and service was top notch. The prices where higher than I expected going to a bistro but the food was that of a world class restaurant. The atmosphere was very elegant. the service top class. I would highly recommend for a romantic dinner or just for great food.

I don't get to this place enough, but will again this weekend. I usually visit during off hours when friends are in town (because my wife doesn't like to drink and my son is too young to be able to get in ;), e.g., Saturday or Sunday late afternoon or early evening. The keys are to order the right beer -- the staff are quite willing to allows a taster or two, and my favorite is there IPA, the best in the Seattle area, imho -- and the right food. My recommendation: The basil bleu. This is a mouth-watering rib-eye with bleu cheese, basil, mushroom, and veggies. The kicker, though, is that, like many of their dishes, it's delivered to you almost immediately as a raw steak on a 750-degree-F platter, and you get to cook it! If you like it raw, just start eating. If you like it well-done, cut it into thin slices and cook it on the platter to your own tastes. And they're very willing to advise on how to cook it based on your tastes, and you can get it just the way you like it! Again, great place, wish I lived closer!
Pros: Good food, good beer, good people
Cons: Parking can be a bit freaky during busy times

We went in twice, one on a Date night and once with some good friends, Its a bit of a drive but well worth it!
I had Seafood Fett. and my husband had a Scampi Prawn dish and they were Fabulous, so much flavor and rich taste. Our service was friendly and answered all our questions with great knowledge and she directed us towards our selection. The Front desk greeted us with young vivarant smiles and the Manager Thanked us for coming in and invited us back, you can bet we will be back to try many more delicious dishes sooner than later.

I am not a seafood fan so was not excited to try this place out. The fish and chips was surprisingly really good. The fish was moist and flaky without a "fishy" taste at all. My husband really likes seafood and swears this is the best he has ever had, including his travels in Europe! The people are really nice and the view is good, looking out on the water. You can walk up to the street window for a few fast options or go inside to the nicer restaurant for a full menu. Our kids love their soft serve ice cream cones best. Everything is reasonably priced as well.

The signing up experience was very positive for me. A couple of my friends are members and told me about the low monthly dues. The gym has just added some new classes and equipment. I've only been a member for 2 weeks but the staff is friendly and has answered my questions.

Amazing course with tremendous variety and perfect greens. The front is a certified wetland and the back is a hilly, forest course. Bring your A game and a few extra balls. Well worth the $$

quiet, casual dining - with great food and good service. Reasonable prices. We LOVE their pasta, my husband's favorita is the bake spaghetti with meat sauce and sausage. I love the baked spaghetti too and their lemon-rice (avgo lemano) greek soup is awesome! Plenty of food and soup or salad is included with your mean. Warm fresh bread. For something fun, order the flaming greek cheese appetizer!
We go here at least every other week -
Pros: casual, reasonable, lots of food , friendly
Cons: speedway traffic
