    Eco Water Systems - Water Softener Plus Water Purifier

    Consumer Reports tested Eco Water's ERO-375 last year and gave it pretty good ratings (#3 overall score) and is one of their "Recommended" RO systems (but not their "Best Buy" rating), but noted that it "requires professional service to replace filters".  Their "Best Buys" for RO were: Whirlpool...

    Eco Water Systems - Water Softener Plus Water Purifier

If you opt for a water...

    Engineered Wood vs. Hardwood Flooring

    When I had my engineered wood floor installed downstairs, the contractor used a compound that is both adhesive and moisture barrier (made by Bostik if I remember correctly) http://www.woodsthebest.com/Flooring/Flooring_IntallEng2.htm

    PYOG (Print Your Own Gun)

    Apparently, you just can't 'print' your own usable gun and carry it around.  But, feel free to print knives and other stabbing weapons.  :-\

    Saratoga Upgrades

    One of our family friends suggested using a curtain liner inside the glass shower door, and it works great at keeping the door clean.  Kinda weird, but it works.  Use the Kohl's $10 off anything coupon to buy a few cheap liners and you're good for the year.  :P

    Meiji Seimen (Udon restaurant), Costa Mesa

    Haha, it doesn't get much fresher than that!!  :P I'd try the fresh squid first before the baby octopus.  Only concern is possible choking hazard if it happens to be a feisty one with lots of fight.  Otherwise I'm sure it tastes like the ocean.

    Rate the last movie you saw...

    Iron Man 3 - 5/10 - weak story, butchered villains' storylines, but great special effects.  Typical summer blockbuster action flick.  If you already know anything about the Mandarin and Extremis, you will most likely be very disappointed with the movie version.  If not, enjoy!!
