GET TO IT
A guide to help make your day
GOING OUT
• Opera: Les Memelles de Tiresias and Savitri presented by University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music Opera Department, 8 p.m. today UC's Patricia Corbett Theatre. Repeats 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Free. 556-4183.

STAYING IN
• TV picks: Prepare a vodka martini — shaken, not stirred — and tune in The James Bond Story, an hour of 007 film clips and interviews (10 p.m., American Movie Classics).
• TV Critic John Kiesewetter also says Dick Clark fans must wait until 11:35 p.m. (Channel 12) to see his new Winning Lines CBS game show, after Lou Rawls' Evening of Stars for the United Negro College Fund (7-11 p.m., Channel 12).
• Web site of the day: One of the oddest things about the Web is that — heaven forbid! — you might turn up on it and not even know. Ego surfing is the answer. Try Google, a relatively new search engine. It has no frills, but we find it gets more of the things we want, especially when we're looking for our own name online. It's at www.google.com.
WHAT'S IN STORES TODAY
• Sleep easy: Safety 1st offers Angelcare Sound Monitor and Movement Reassurance System, the first monitor that detects both sound and movement, alerting parents if there is no movement in the crib for more than 20 seconds. The product features an ultra-thin sensor pad that gets placed under the baby's mattress and detects even the slightest movement. $99 at Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Service Merchandise and Home Depot. For more information, call (800)-723-3065 or visit www.safety1st.com.
