Gear Review: Clear2Go Water Bottle With Filter
I've been carrying a reusable water bottle with me for years now, filling up on tap water as needed. Well, portable water just got a little cleaner with the Clear2Go water bottle ($16). It's your standard water bottle with a squeeze top made for cycling, but it comes with its very own water filter.
Gear Review: slotRadio by Sansa
I love my iPod, but there is a new music player vying for my heart: the slotRadio ($79) by Sansa.
The two-inch-by-two-inch clip-on music player comes with a data card with 1,000 songs from the Billboard music charts, with prearranged playlists by music genre. I tried the additional Health and Fitness mix, which includes the mixes for warmup, cardio, roadwork (cycling), power (lifting), yoga, cooldown, and the even more mellow spa mix.
Gear Review: Nike ACG Wildedge GTX Shoe
I'm a big fan of Nike's All Condition Gear (ACG) line. If you're into climbing, hiking, or trail running, this shoe line has something for you. When at the Nike store recently, I noticed that my Wildedge approach shoes are now on sale.
Babymel x2 Diaper Bag Does Double Duty
Just when I thought I'd seen the end-all-be-all of diaper bags, I was sent the Babymel x2 to review. Specifically designed for parents of twins, it's perfection for any mom on the go. The designers created a two-in-one satchel that easily detaches so mom can carry only what she needs.
Stroller Review: Mutsy Urban Rider Next Stroller in Joey
http://sugarloving.com/776463 The Urban Rider Next Stroller with Joey bassinet and seat is hands down the best investment we've made with our son, Brody. The large wheels can get through any terrain. (I've zoomed right over curbs, tree roots, bumps, potholes, and gravel with no problem at all.) I've gotten many compliments on this stroller and I wish I could tell everyone I know about it as it's the best thing we've bought for our baby.50 Emergency Uses for Your Camera Phone
50 Emergency Uses for Your Camera Phone by Paul Purcell In an emergency you'll not only need to provide and receive help, but after the event is over, you'll face the prospect of return, repair, and rebuilding. Central to all these activities is communication and documentation. Everything in our society carries a heaping helping of red tape, and disasters are no different.I wish every elected official could be challenged in a primary

Many people have complemented me on my talent for always knowing when crazy events are taking place around San Francisco, how I always know where the latest hotpots to eat, shop, or see are located, and I'm often asked for suggestions. So I'm going to share my secret to being "in the know." Aside from having way too much time on my hands, I have a few great newsletters/ websites I check out and read often when I need inspiration.BBC (UK) Country Album Review: Brad Paisley - 5th Gear
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/mq9x/ Here in the UK country music has been only made occasionally hip when it comes suffused with real roots credentials (cf: Alison Krauss) or as some kind of precursor to punk attitude (alt country’s roots in acts like Steve Earle or Lyle Lovett) but the real stuff, that sells in gazillions throughout its homeland can be a step too far. Brad Paisley’s 6th album sums this up perfectly. It contains some of the smoothest, slickest and breath-taking playing this side of the Pecos.Leaving D.C. Schoolchildren Behind
