TIVOLI AUDIO SONGBOOK RADIO

When you need a radio on-the-go, for traveling, camping or for a day at the

beach, the Tivoli SongBook is your perfect companion. This handy little unit is about the size of a hardcover book but far more exciting. The unit sports a durable, rubberized, water-resistant cabinet, auxiliary input for your iPod, digital AM/FM tuner, 9k/10k switch for worldwide AM reception, rechargeable bat-tery, digital clock and alarm, headphone out-put and a large selection of designer colors. If that isn’t enough for you, it looks really cool too. $199.99 www.tivoliaudio.com

TAGA STROLLER

The Taga Stroller is the Optimus Prime of the stroller world. If you don’t know what

Optimus Prime means, then trust us when we say that, if you have an infant or a toddler, you want to buy the Taga. Here’s what it is: It’s a bicycle and a stroller in one unit. And we don’t

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 actu-ally 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.

RUB DOWN

Juggling a full-time job, the gym, home and family obligations and recreational ice

hockey can most definitely lead to stress. And working out and playing hard, followed by a long commute and sitting in a chair all day at work can lead to aches, pains and sore muscles. If you can manage to fit one more thing into your agenda, salvation is close at hand. Nothing relieves stress and soreness more than a nice, looooong massage. Squeeze it into your schedule, and you’ll find your-self recharged and ready to tackle anything thrown at you. Here are some of our favorite places to visit for an outstanding massage:

LIVESTRONG CALORIE TRACKER APP

Like the majority of Americans, you’ve like-ly 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

A SHAVERS PARADISE

If 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 allan-toin, avocado oil, cocoa butter and Vitamin E, to soothe and moisture that handsome mug of yours. Visit www.kiehls.com for more info.

FLAKE FREE HAIRIt’s an all too obvious (and at times, embarrass-ing) fact that many of us have a dry, flaky scalp. Even if the shoulders of that favorite black coat aren’t dusted with dan-druff, a special shampoo will not only do wonders for your scalp health, but even help prevent the onset of the dreaded flakes.

Wait no longer. Look no further. Buy now at Axis and enjoy up to $18,000 in tax credits

The care-free condominium lifestyle is happening at Axis, San Jose’s award-winning luxury high-rise. Located

on the best corner of downtown’s most desired neighborhood, Axis is an urban oasis bursting with life.

NOW is the best time to explore its resort-like pool area, spacious fitness center, 12th floor model homes and magnificent pent-houses. Plus, if you purchase NOW you can take advantage of FHA loans (as low as 3.5% down payment), historically low interest rates (which won’t last long!) and the brief window of opportunity to receive up to $18,000 in combined federal and state homebuyer tax credits – depending on your timing (funds still being available) and qualifications.

To take advantage of both tax credits, homebuyers must enter into a purchase contract for a principal residence before April 10, 2010, and close escrow between May 1 and June 30, 2010, inclusive.

Axis offers convenience in every direction. Just west along The Alameda, discover shopping, entertainment and services, including HP Pavilion and Caltrains. Enjoy fine restaurants, trendy nightspots, cul-tural attractions, supermarkets and the Farmers’ Market at San Pedro Square. A real neighborhood gem is the big “back-yard” – the Guadalupe River Park and Gardens, enticing joggers, tennis players, dog walkers and nature lovers.

When you visit Axis, explore art@axis, fea-turing 90 works by local artists, displayed in the lobby and model homes, as well as the new Axis Art Gallery.

NUUN SPORTS TABLETS

Here’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 fla-vors 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. www.nuun.com

THAT’S HIGH QUALITY H20

Did 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 nor-mal breathing? And if your feet are constantly sweat-ing, 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:

� Regulates and maintains body temperature through per-spiration

� Moistens tissues such as those of the eyes, ears, nose and throat

� Assists the kidneys and liver by flushing out toxins and other waste products

� Lubricates joints

� Helps to prevent constipation TW

SILICON VALLEY 2010 MICHELIN RATED RESTAURANTS

Who would’ve thunk a tire company would be telling us where to go for the

best of fine dining? Oddly enough, Michelin has been doing such a good job with it and for a long enough time that not very many peo-ple make the food-tire connection anymore (though they deserve kudos in both areas). They forage the country in search of the best, and we are very thankful that they share their findings with us. See below for a handful of Silicon Valley establishments that met the tough criteria to make the 2010 Michelin Guide. Congrats, guys!

MANRESA RESTAURANT ��[French, Spanish] 320 Village Ln., Los Gatos (408) 354-4330 www.manresarestaurant.com

To say that executive chef David Kinch suc-cessfully fuses Central California ingredients with Catalonian cooking and the acclaimed Ferran Adriá’s style of gastronomical magic would be an understatement. Go with the seasonal tasting menu, and leave your dining experience in Kinch’s competent hands.

CHEZ TJ �[French] 938 Villa St. (650) 964-7466 www.cheztj.com

Chez TJ has been wooing fine diners for more than a quarter of a century and is recognized by numerous “Best of” lists and restaurant guides (including the one-star Michelin rat-ing). The freshest ingredients from local farms are used in the renowned prix-fixe menus, such as the chef ’s tasting menu.

PLUMED HORSE �[French, American] 14555 Big Basin Way, Saratoga (408) 867-4711 www.plumedhorse.com

Plumed Horse is contemporary yet incredibly romantic, with chic interiors, an eye-catching fireplace and an amazing transparent glass wine cellar. The French/American menu is impressive and luxurious, so much so that we recommend the tasting menu (offering

items like Local Dungeness Crab Wontons, Mishima Ranch Kobe Beef and Burnt Orange Souffle) to make sure you have a chance to savor everything.

THE GENUINE WHIRLEY-POP POPCORN POPPER

Humans have grown complacent and lazy in this high-tech modern world and

have, in many instances, replaced quality with convenience. We have drive-thru coffee shops, cell phones, 6,000 television channels and the largest abomination man has ever created -- microwave popcorn. We’ve completely lost touch with the fact that a little effort and time can result in something fresh, healthy

and scrumptious. We’re talk-ing 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 pop-corn (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. Google “Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper” to find a seller near you, $25.

FARM FRESH TO YOU

You never really know where your produce comes from when pick-ing it up at the store. How far has it traveled? Has it been geneti-

cally altered? What kind of chemicals are sprayed on it, and can it affect your health? You won’t need to think about these types of questions anymore after visiting Capay Organic Farm via www.farmfreshtoyou.com and signing up to have local, organic fruits and veggies delivered right to your front door or office. The family farm, founded in 1976, is located in the Coastal Range’s Capay Valley, 90 miles northeast of San Francisco and is a member of the California Certified Organic Farmers Association. Farm Fresh to You has a plethora of produce to offer and a number of very affordable options to choose from, all of which depend on how much produce you want to receive and how many deliveries per month you’d like to participate in. Prices range from $25 for a small box of mixed fruits and veggies to a monster size for $55. Every box comes with organic produce, farm news and recipes.

TAYLOR SWIFT

This 20-year-old has done well for herself:

She was named Artist of the Year by Billboard Magazine in 2009. Her Fearless album won her a Grammy for Album of the Year, and she won CMA awards for Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year. 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. Taylor’s even had the pleasure of “sharing” the stage with egotistical maniac Kanye West at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. With all that said, we here at The Wave

honestly still don’t get it. She’s about as country as Kanye, right? But that doesn’t mean we won’t show up at the HP Pavilion on April 11 chewing our bubblegum and singing along to Love Story. HP Pavilion, 525 W. Santa Clara St., San Jose www.hppsj.com

WEDNESDAY NIGHT DRAG RACING

Not much smells bet-ter to a gearhead

than the aroma of burn-ing 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!!For more information visit www.infineonraceway.com

MOHSEN NAMJOO

Don’t miss this once-in-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 the-atre 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.For tickets and more information visit www.stanfordtickets.org

FIRST ANNUAL WORLD DANCE CELEBRATION: 4/24

Come 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 TWHistoric Hoover Theatre, 1635 Park Ave., San Jose (510) 213-6852 www.artsanddance.org

LIVE HEALTHY EXPO: 4/16–18

So 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 increas-ingly 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. Santa Clara Convention Center, 5001 Great American Pkwy., Santa Clara www.bodymindexpo.com

GOING NATIVE GARDEN TOUR

We envy the folks who have

the time and energy to perfect their gar-dens through digging, watering, pruning and chasing the gophers away. And every year we’re excited that gar-dening fanatics in the Santa Clara Valley, Peninsula and San Francisco Bay Area are willing to open up their little Edens for the public to visit. The Going Native Garden Tour on April 18 will feature close to 45 jaw-dropping gardens, most of which are in private homes, from 10am to 4pm. Whether you need some inspiration to get started (like we do) or want to check out the best of the best to steal ideas for your own garden, you won’t want to miss this event. For more information visit www.goingnativegardentour.org

SPRING CLEANING

So you have old computer moni-

tors stuffed in the closet, a black and white TV collecting dust in the attic, old heavy laptops from the ‘90s under the bed and miscel-laneous computer paraphernalia scat-tered 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 work-shops, lectures, children’s activities and plants for purchase.
