mean that you bike your kid around town, then park it outside of the grocery store and carry your child in; we mean to say that, once you get to the store with your kid, you transform the bicycle into a stroller, then push the whole thing inside. Then, when it’s time to head to the park, you transform the stroller back into a bike, place your child back in, and pedal on your way. Cool, huh? And oddly enough, it does not look completely robotic. It’s cute and trendy, offered in four colors, completely safe and reliable, incredibly easy to ride (it’s actually a grownup tricycle), efficient (it transforms into a stroller in only 20 seconds) and versatile (a number of accessories are offered, as well as double-child option). If you don’t believe us, check it out for yourselves at www.tag.nl. Be sure to watch the video, because it will literally blow your mind. $1,495.

ike the majority of Americans, you’ve likely struggled with shedding a few pounds at one time or another. Trying to watch what you eat doesn’t always cut it, and here’s why: You’re flying blind when it comes to how many calories you’re consuming. And come on, you don’t cook all your meals at home, and even if you did, you’d have to scrutinize every dab of mayonnaise and every squirt of dressing to have an accurate calorie count. It sure would be nice to have some way to monitor and track your daily food intake, right? Luckily, there’s an app for that. Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong’s LiveStrong Calorie Tracker app holds more than 650,000 food and restaurant items, allowing you to simply pull up the food item consumed (or about to be consumed) to display the nutritional facts. It will then log that info and display how many calories you have left for the day. You can also track the amount of calories burned for specific exercises to make sure you’re taking the ins and outs into account to match those magic numbers. Remember, the trick to losing weight is to burn more calories than you consume, so get the LiveStrong Calorie Tracker and begin counting already! While you’re at it, check out www.livestrong.com for forums, support groups, expert advice and a plethora of other helpful tools. $2.99 18

f you’re a man, you need to shave. Unless, of course, you’re going for the Jeremiah Johnson look, which we acknowledge as a trend of late. But really, folks, Jeremiah was a mountain man, and you’re not. And when it comes to shaving cream, most men are in a rut. Your dad used Barbasol, your dad’s dad used Barbasol, and you’re dad’s dad’s dad used Barbasol. Well, we’re in 2010, and it’s time to break the cycle and give your face something to smile about. Kiehl’s shaving products are almost mandatory to bring you and your face into the 21st Century. Start your morning shave with Close Shavers Shaving Formula #31-0 ($18, 1.7 oz), a light, rinsable oil with a blend of spearmint, eucalyptus, cedar wood bark and rosemary to soften up your beard. Then apply the Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream ($16, 5 oz), consisting of a blend of menthol and camphor. Shave. The blade will glide over your face so smoothly, you’ll swear you’re using a child’s toy plastic razor. After shaving, apply The Ultimate Men’s After-Shave Balm & Moisturizer ($18, 4.2 oz), packed full of allantoin, avocado oil, cocoa butter and Vitamin E, to soothe and moisture that handsome mug of yours.

NUUN SPORTS TABLETS

H

ere’s a handy little item to keep in your sports bag that combines the plop-plop-fizz-fizz technology of Alka Seltzer with the refreshing electrolyte-rich flavor of Gatorade. Nuun is the world’s most portable sports drink – that’s because it’s stored in handy tablet form. Users simply drop a Nuun pill into a glass of water (there are three flavors to choose from) and a minute later, the pill has dissolved and the water is now a refueling beverage. We tested it here in the office, and despite the fearful fascination with the fizzing tabs, all agreed: tasted just like every other sports drink. In other words: It works.

id you know that the human body is largely made up of water? It’s true – about 60% of YOU is good ol’ tap water. And, did you know the human body expels two to four cups of water every day through just through normal breathing? And if your feet are constantly sweating, you’re likely losing an additional cup. So now you might understand why it’s not okay to only have one cup of water a day when you can naturally be losing up to five. We all need to make a conscious effort to make sure we replenish our fluids. Fatigue, headaches and muscle weakness are often results of dehydration, so the next time you find yourself run down, try hitting the faucet before the medicine cabinet. The easiest way to ensure you’re getting enough water is to follow the 8x8 rule; throughout the day, drink eight 8 oz glasses of water. Below are a handful of benefits water gives to the human body:

and scrumptious. We’re talking about homemade popcorn, and there’s no better stovetop popper than The Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper. It’s simple to use and easy to clean. To make a batch, all you need to do is add a little vegetable oil and a couple of handfuls of popcorn (we prefer Jollytime white popcorn), shut the lid, crank up the heat (medium to medium-high) and wait for the fireworks. The sound of popping is your cue to step in and crank The Whirley Pop’s arm to keep the popcorn from burning. Once the popping stops, immediately dump the popcorn into a bowl, add a little salt and maybe a little butter, and ta-da! – you have a big bowl of delicious popcorn sans chemicals and uncontrolled sodium.

She sold more than four million records and is the top-selling digital artist in music history with more than 24.3 million digital tracks sold.

ot much smells better to a gearhead than the aroma of burning rubber mixed with a hint of exhaust and a dash of clutch dust. Instead of hunting for that oddly scented candle, head to the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, where you’re sure to get a schnoz full of that very smell every Wednesday night. Why Wednesdays? Because Wednesdays are reserved for gearheads and Fast and the Furious types. That’s right: YOU get to drive. For the mere price of $25, you can join hundreds of fellow racers laying down rubber on the quarter-mile track, as long as you have a valid driver’s license and your car passes a safety check. Gates open at 3:30pm, and racing spans from 5–10pm. See you there!!

AN EVENING OF SHORT NEW PLAYS

City Lights Theater, 529 S. Second St., San Jose www.cltc.org

This existentialist play is the fabulously inventive tale of Shakespeare's Hamlet told through the bizarre experiences of two minor characters. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Hamlet's friends from Wittenberg who King Claudius calls to keep his step son/nephew company and essentially spy on him. We all know how the story ends, but these two blokes trudge through life with hope that everything will be alright. Can they actually control their own destiny, or will fate win the day? Is this a tragedy or a comedy? Can life be anything but both? You'll have to judge for yourself: 4/9–24 SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL

D

on’t miss this oncein-a-lifetime shot to see who many consider the “Bob Dylan” of Iran. Moshen Namjoo, born in 1976 in Torbet-e Jam, Iran, began his musical journey at 12 years old. After studying theatre and music at the University of Tehran, Namjoo was well on his way to become an accomplished artist, songwriter, singer and music scholar. His unique sound is a montage of classical Persian poetry (Hafez, Rumi or Saadi), infused with western music (rock, blues and jazz). This special performance on April 10 is sponsored by the Hamid & Christina Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies and the Music Department of Stanford University and will take place at the Cubberley Auditorium on campus.

ome check out The Cultural Arts and Dance Association's first annual World Dance Celebration, that includes food, vendors, workshops and demonstrations, festival dancing throughout the day and an evening festival showcase and gala. A quote from one of our favorite movies sums up this celebration perfectly – "'From the oldest of times, people danced for a number of reasons. They danced in prayer... or so that their crops would be plentiful... or so their hunt would be good. And they danced to celebrate.' And that is the dancing we're talking about. Aren't we told in Psalm 149 'Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song. Let them praise His name in the dance'? And it was King David - King David, who we read about in Samuel - and what did David do? What did David do? David danced before the Lord with all his might... leaping and dancing before the Lord." - Footloose TW

LIVE HEALTHY EXPO: 4/16–18 o many of us have lost our ways when it comes to our health. Really, what do we have if we don’t have it? Suits, titles and offices bring in money, but it can’t matter much if you find yourself on the verge of a heart attack every time the elevator is out-of-order and you’re forced to take the stairs. It’s time to put things into perspective, get out of the office (of off the couch) and pay attention to our minds and bodies. Of course, guidance is in order, and this is why the Live Healthy Expo is becoming increasingly popular. The Expo spans three days and offers advice on alternative approaches to health and wellness, nutrition, cooking, yoga, meditation, pilates and living green. Lectures, workshops, massages and healthy food samples will also be available.

20TH ANNUAL SEA OTTER CLASSIC 4/15–18 icyclists from around the country will roll into Monterey to celebrate this yearly racing classic. A number of events are offered, including criterium and road and circuit racing. Mountain bikers will have a chance to compete in the downhill, dual slalom, Super D, cross country and short track races, while tricksters can participate in the dual stunt and pro pump track contest. Those of you without the competitive nature are invited to participate in the Grand Fondo or mountain bike tour, and anyone who just wants to come check stuff out can watch all the races and take part in the giant exhibition featuring the latest bikes, accessories and clothing to try and purchase. Really, there’s something for everyone interested in bicycles, even the little ones, so there’s no reason why we won’t be seeing you there.

o you have old computer monitors stuffed in the closet, a black and white TV collecting dust in the attic, old heavy laptops from the ‘90s under the bed and miscellaneous computer paraphernalia scattered about. Of course, you can’t use any of it, but you keep it because you know you can’t just pitch the stuff in your curbside garbage can. The answer is not to hoard the crap; the answer is to attend the free E-waste recycling event taking place at the Guadalupe River Parks Visitor & Recreation Center on April 24. This is your chance to finally unload the outdated desktops, PDAs, TVs, printers, VCRs, telephones, cell phones, already outdated iPods and any other old electronics taking up space in your home. After unloading your unwanted, you’ll likely feel so good that you’ll want to stick around for the 16th Annual Spring in Guadalupe Gardens event on the same day, which will feature workshops, lectures, children’s activities and plants for purchase.
