This is our Classic Xero Shoe do-it-yourself (DIY) kit, the one we began selling (as "Invisible Shoes®") in November 2009, that's being enjoyed by over 6,000 runners, walkers and hikers of all ages all around the world. Our new FeelTrue® outsoles are a vast improvement over the Vibram Cherry, but some people like the extra do-it-yourself-ness of the Classic kit with it's Vibram Cherry rubber outsole sheets.

Sizing Information The Classic Xero Shoes kit comes in 3 sizes:
If your foot is over 12.5″ and you need a larger size, call us at 800.499.8880 or 303.447.3100 or use our Contact form FAQCan you really run in these things?Tens of thousands of people all around the world of all ages use Xero Shoes for running… and walking, hiking, biking, camping, going to the beach, hitting the gym, doing yoga, even running 100-mile ultramarathons. Our Customer Service Manager, Bill, runs from his house to the bus, from the bus stop to the office, back home, and then around with his dogs… he puts about 70-90 miles on his Xero Shoes each week! How do you run in these huaraches sandals?Light and easy. I can't give you a barefoot running lesson here (for that, see the links on our home page). But just by wearing them, you'll find quickly that you don't want to land hard on your heel as you walk or run in Xero Shoes. The best advice I can give is: play with your gait and stride, looking for the thing that feels the most comfortable and is the easiest. But, most importantly: TAKE IT EASY at first… remember, Xero Shoes are just like barefoot, only with protection and style. If you're not used to walking barefoot, that alone could take some time to get used to. Plus, since you're not putting as much stress on your skin when you wear huaraches, which means it hurts less, it's tempting to do too much, too far, too fast at first. I know that no matter what I say you'll probably overdo it (I did). Besides, how do you know what "too much" is, unless you do too much!? Well, even though that's true, I recommend you break into your huaraches SLOWLY. Walk around in them for a while first. Maybe only a half mile or so. When that's comfortable, extend the time you're walking and, when you feel ready, try running. If you're already running a mile a day, try half a mile in these one day and see how you feel. Give yourself a day or two off and then repeat. If that's not a problem, build up SLOWLY. I also use the "slap-test." If my sandals are slapping on the ground when I walk or run, I need to make some kind of change, probably by not reaching my foot out as far, or using better posture, etc. Will running in huaraches (or barefoot) cure my running problems and injuries?If you have a headache because you're hitting yourself on the head with a hammer, wearing gloves won't stop the pain. In other words, it's not just a question of taking off your shoes and experiencing magical healing powers. Running barefoot, or in running sandals, gives you a lot of feedback about your running form. In short, if it hurts, you're probably doing something wrong. If you are willing to listen to that feedback and use it as an opportunity to change the way you run, to adjust your stride, to find a way to move that doesn't hurt, then there's a good chance any problems you had that were caused by bad form sure might clear up. In other words, barefoot and minimalist running could show you how to let go of the hammer. Being barefoot, or in huaraches, is an opportunity to find a cure, not a cure in and of itself. Check out this post to read about people who, instead, thought barefoot running was about putting on gloves. How long will the Xero Shoes huaraches last?Frankly, we don't know. We've had people put over 10,000 miles on a pair… and they're still going! Like any shoe, how long they last depends on your running style. If you use good barefoot technique and are light and easy, without scraping your foot on the ground, you'll enjoy them for quite a while. Besides, considering how inexpensive they are compared to big, padded, running shoes, we expect that you'll be saving a fortune by using Xero Shoes. And, more importantly, Xero Shoes come with a 5,000 mile warranty! How do you tie huaraches?There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of different ways to tie Xero Shoes, from ultra-simple minimalist, to way-extravagant decorative, to everything in between. It seems like there's been more creative ideas about tying these sandals since we started selling them in 2009 than there was in the 14,997 years before that when they were invented Check out our page of tying ideas and, if you're experimental and come up with your own, share what you create! Won't the knot at the bottom wear out?Eventually, sure. But since the knot is kinda flat, and since the rubber is flexible, and since the knot tends to be in between your toes, it'll last WAY longer than you think. Many Xero Shoes customers have put thousands of miles on their shoes without wearing out the knot. And, we give you enough lace that when/if the knot does wear out, you can just pull another inch of lacing through the huaraches sole and make a new one. You can buy extra laces for just a few dollars. Doesn't that string between your toes hurt?Not at all. When you first start wearing your huaraches, you'll notice it somewhat. After all, it is a thing. But very quickly the sensation fades into the background. Also, you can change the tightness by the way you lace your sandal. If you loosen the heel, your foot moves further back and takes some pressure off the string. Or, obviously, you can loosen that "foot string", or change the placement of it by tightening/loosening the loop that goes around it. Plus, there are ways of tying Xero Shoes huaraches that don't have a string going between your toes. Finding the perfect way to tie huaraches is a personal thing, there's no "one best way." You'll find the one that works for you with a couple of tries. Can you feel that knot at the bottom?Nope. Wait, let me back up… Not all tying styles have a knot at the bottom of the shoe. But for the ones that do, you shouldn't feel it.
If you want, you can melt the knot with our laces into a tiny "bead." Why don't you use leather or hemp laces?You can use almost anything for lacing huaraches. In my testing, though, I found some issues with hemp and leather that I didn't like:
The 100% polyester cord we use is strong, light, and doesn't stretch or tighten, especially when wet. Also, I prefer the "slip-on" method of tying which works best with a round lace, rather than a flat one (like leather). Needless to say, you can replace the lace we send you with whatever you like. Do you ship internationally?We do! We've sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world. We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout. All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments. Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International. International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border. Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border. All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you're giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that's not the same as us sending a gift). Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you. What's your return policy?Some people get their Xero Shoes, put them on, and immediately love them. They walk and run painlessly and with the freedom that Xero Shoes provide. For others, there could be a process of learning how to tie huaraches, and how to walk and run in minimalist footwear. In fact, one of the points of going barefoot/minimalist is to let any discomfort teach you how to move in a different way… a way that will be more efficient and potentially healing. Getting a blister, or feeling some tension in the cord isn't a sign that there's a problem with your sandals, but rather they're working as they should: They're giving you important feedback about your form (usually overstriding and/or landing too hard). Once your body/mind naturally figures out how to adjust, those issues resolve themselves. If you have any questions, check out Xero Shoes Forum to see if someone else has already answered your question or solved your problem (they probably have). We're also happy to help, and we're really good at coaching over the phone, so don't hesitate to call: 303.447.3100 All that said, please go to Xero Shoes Return Policy page to learn about our 45-day return policy and free exchange policy.

Debunking Drupal myths - Part one: Content control
by Jay Batson
Acquia has quickly become successful in increasing the exposure of Drupal to "CTO-level" conversations at larger enterprises. Despite the fact that there are numerous examples of big companies using it, Drupal is really still pretty unknown in big organizations - at least when you compare it to commercial, closed-source content management systems (the "incumbents").
As Drupal starts to make inroads in these larger organizations, the incumbents are forced to defend why their expensive proprietary software is better than that "little Drupal project." Hooray! The mere fact that they now must have answers shows that Drupal isn't such a little project anymore, and it is starting to cause real pain to the incumbents. It's now only a matter of time: high quality, powerful open source software with a big community behind it is the biggest threat to any closed-source software. The incumbents are living on borrowed time.
But given that we're now impacting them competitively, we're all about to experience an increasing flow of venomous-sounding FUD coming from these incumbents.
Just think back to what Microsoft did when Linux started to take over the data center: they howled and spewed FUD about quality, licensing, functionality - anything they could grab onto. The same types of FUD accusations are now starting to emerge from the old-guard Content Management System incumbents. And - just like the Windows/Linux story - virtually any argument they make can be debunked. Nearly all their assertions are specious; it's not real poison.
So I, and others here at Acquia, will be blogging about the FUD as it comes to us. When we see an accusation about Drupal that is simply untrue, we'll post it here, and tag it so you can see that the FUD poison isn't poison - it's simply harmless spit from a miffed vendor.
Case one: Content Control
A couple of great myths came up last Friday, when one of these incumbents asserted the following:
Drupal lacks Content Moderation Tools. Assuming your company gets hit with a tsunami of vigilante customers that just want to spew bad comments on your community, Drupal provides no mechanism by which to flip a switch and force all submitted content to be reviewed by a customer representative.
This is patently false.
Drupal actually combines two powerful features - each useful on their own, but more powerful in combination - to offer enterprise-grade content moderation:
- Roles / permissions. Nearly all critical functions in Drupal (including comment and content creation / moderation) is controlled by defined Roles, to which each is given a set of Permissions. For instance, administrators can define a "Moderator" role that a user must have in order to approve content for publishing; administrators only then add this role to employees (or external community managers) whom they trust to moderate content.
- The modr8 module. This Drupal component prevents posts that are in moderation from showing up in lists, on the /node page, etc., unless approved by a user (/Role) that has the "administer nodes" or "moderate content" permission. This module also provides an admin interface for managing content in moderation, and an optional block to show how many posts are in moderation and the titles of recently added posts. The admin interface allows a user with the "moderate content" permission to preview content in moderation, as well as approve or delete each moderated post, and (optionally) to send an e-mail to the author informing him/her of the choice.
A couple of other minor notes:
- Note 1: If you're using Drupal's Organic Groups (OG) capability to create different social groups on your site, there is an extended version of this module that makes it work with OG.
- Note 2: Acquia's Peter Wolanin is the current maintainer of the modr8 module.
Don't let uninformed FUD influence you. Get the facts first.
More fun as we hear more false assertions!
Community/multi-user moderation tools are another great solution. For the Economist we've helped to build a system where:
- Anyone can report inappropriate content to moderate it "down" including providing a description of the problem.
- The most problematic comments (based on votes) are sorted to the top of a view that is built on top of the views bulk operations module which allows moderators to efficiently review problem reports and unpublish them.
- When the content is unpublished, moderators can also revoke the ability to comment, all in the same interface and same set of actions
I hope to polish this up and release it as a recipe or complete packaged module, but this is just one example of the kind of community based moderation that is possible that helps to reduce the content responsibilities of a few site admins and distribute them out among multiple moderators or even community members.
From my experience, "tsunami of vigilante" visitors are often a competitor of yours. In WordPress you can actually ban ranges of IP blocks, which although sometime backfires, can largely stop from a single person or group to continuously slam the comment doors. The moderation tool isn't effective when there are barrages of authentic comments hitting on everyday..Is there some sort of Ip Ban plugins for Drupal? Thanks
Larry @ soft laser
(Frustration turned into WP)
Hi Larry,
Ip banning is built into Drupal core. It is available in the "Access Rules" section under the "User" heading on the administration screen.
In Drupal 7 this is changing somewhat, and I think it will be in a separate contributed module, but not 100% sure on that.
Here's some 5x more FUD to debunk: http://www.slate.com/id/223371
Roles and Permissions in Drupal are great. Occasionally they need to be extended to have the fine grained functionality you require but, out of the box, they're pretty good.
I would disagree with the poster here. I'm not saying that Drupal couldn't be extended to have a robust enterprise level moderation, but currently modr8 falls way short. It's not robust or intuitive. To my knowledge it also does not allow for moderation of revisions. We can pretend Drupal has enterprise level moderation, but until it does, I don't think this myth is debunked.

Love Pina Coladas but hate the extra calories and fat? At over 500 calories per cocktail (and possibly a lot more, depending on what size you get), these are a nutritional nightmare. Thankfully, there's a guilt-free substitute for that high-fat, calorie-laden drink: Dannon Light & Fit Pineapple Coconut Yogurt. It might not be an exact substitute for the alcoholic beverage, but it tastes pretty darn good!
Like all Dannon Light & Fit yogurts (read our reviews), this stuff is a bit on the thinner side compared with other low-fat or fat-free yogurts. However, the taste more than makes up for it with pineapple and coconut flavors that shine but don't overpower. Pineapple is actually one of the ingredients too - so it's not just pineapple flavoring - but coconut is nowhere to be found. I was really amazed at how dessert-like this tasted.
Each 6-ounce container of Dannon Light & Fit Pineapple Coconut Yogurt provides 80 calories, no fat, 16 grams of carbs, 11 grams of sugars, 5 grams of protein, 20% of the RDA for riboflavin and vitamin D, 15% for calcium and phosphorus, and 8% for vitamin A.
The ingredients list starts with nonfat yogurt, water, pineapple and fructose, and the sweeteners used are aspartame, acesulfame K and sucralose - 3 non-natural sugars combined (plus fructose), but the taste is incredibly natural, not to mention delicious.
I bought a 6 ounce container for $1.25, but they are regularly on sale. Dannon Light & Fit Pineapple Coconut Yogurt is definitely a flavor that I would buy again.

This post is to announce that I fixed the dumb little setting that broke this blog over a year ago (I switched hosts in a fit of disgust with GoDaddy and, well, I was a month or two into my first real job and… yeah).
Some knitting things!
- I knitted at least several things since we last spoke. I promise. I haven't been abducted by aliens and replaced by a Pod Lisa. I just didn't have a blog going so I posted them to twitter or entirely didn't take a picture at all THE HORROR.
- I knit 4 of the same item, a new record. I managed to rather dull the exitement, though, by losing #2 before casting on for #4, and I still dearly miss my madelinetosh tosh DK (is that how they intend you to write out their yarns? seems repetitive) Windschief. The other 3 are for people who aren't me, so this is a tragedy of near-unprecedented proportions. This disaster is in no way diminished by the fact that I knitted the thing during one supremely lazy and simultaneously productive Sunday.
- I'm on a weird, self-imposed project to read all of The Yarn Harlot's blogs from day one. Somehow I was inspired by her anniversary post. I think I might be kind of crazy.
Okay, let's see what pictures I can turn up by going through my twitter photo history.
Okay that picture is absolutely huge but I am not going to do something silly like allowing enormous pictures to stop my "blogging on a roll-ness" which is a phrase that I am pretty sure the Coke Zero made me invent. The story of the yarn bundle involves a lot of reading comprehension issues and the fact that I have two others of similar size is totally not my fault. I blame reading comprehension and the fact that colors look different on the Internet. Anyone want to knit sweaters with me? Like, multiple for each of us?
Oh god they're all going to be huge. FORGING AHEAD! No time for links; I'm sure all of the patterns are available on Ravelry anyway and I must continue with my MAD BLOGGING EXPERIMENT.
Looks like I'll have to stalk my knitting to its new owner. This is knit with madtosh sock held double because I'm a crazy person and NEEDED THAT COLOR. THAT EXACT ONE. I also have a fixation on madelinetosh at the moment permanently.
How beautiful was this hat? It was SO BEAUTIFUL. I hope whoever has it now is really enjoying it. I called the restaurant I probably had it in last. No dice. No way to get in touch with the cab driver after…
I knitted the above two FROM STASH like someone who doesn't buy more yarn than is clinically advisable.
I'm going backwards in time with these photos because that's easiest. I've since learned to knit continental/yarn-in-left-hand and loosened up my overall knitting. I no longer do an extra little gratuitous tug on each and every stitch. Not only is that uncalled-for, it is BAD FOR MY KNITTING. And prevents making sweaters that I really, really, REALLY want. Turns out that I'll fix any knitting thing for an item that I want that badly.
Maybe I'll knit some kind of super bulky blanket with the yarn held quadruple or something super normal like that. This hobby sure makes people do super normal things. Normal.
I don't want mittens, though, so the above fingerless-glove thing was an experiment into making fingerless gloves to learn how to make more pretty fingerless gloves and also because it has been COLD in San Francisco (yes, this means I am weak and no longer allowed to consider myself an East Coaster at heart, I think). I really want to do the gloves with the two-color corrugated ribbing on each finger, which probably means that I hate myself and secretly want punishment.
Proof that I weaved in the ends instead of just hiding them and hoping they don't slip out, which, I will tell you, was EXTREMELY TEMPTING:
Picture of it finished though? HAH. That'd take foresight.
As we travel BAAAACKWAARDDSSS IN TIMEEE (eerie voice) we discover — terrifying — the pre-woven-in-ends state of that hat (avert your eyes):
Okay, that is as far back as Twitter's memory goes. I'll poke through photos on my phone for the next one or, what? Maybe generate new content? Speak in depth about something I'm currently working on? Resurrect some long-abandoned projects from the terror that my yarn closet has managed to become in the less-than-a-year I've been living in my current apartment? Who knows. I'm going to go with the "start typing and see where it goes" method for (theoretically) reliably producing posts.
Also, It's 5:30, not 8:30. Dunno how to get this thing on California time.

I'd love to purchase the full version but I've got a few doubts:
Has everyone moved over to FC2? How active is FC1 these days?
Would paid membership here transfer to FC2 if I want to switch?
I've heard some users complain they're losing older levels. Not cool.
Some kid hacker deleted my designs and wrote "FAG" everywhere...
I've made another account, but it can't log onto the forums?
I'd be buying membership for my new account, this one has lost everything and just feels insecure. Also kinda dirty, like that kid took a dump all over everything. But this new account can't log onto the forums so maybe I should stick with this one? Are new accounts not allowed on these forums, because I hesitate to join a closed community destined to dry up. See what I mean? I've got a few doubts, and I just want to know what I'm getting for my ten bucks.

Aden + Anais Mod About Baby - Swaddle Blankets (Set of 4)
Soft muslin is what makes these swaddle blankets different. The lightweight fabric has a light, open weave and is extra breathable, allowing for better airflow and temperature moderation.

Rated 3 out of 5 by NapaMomma Great blanket, but not for swaddling
These are great multi-purpose blankets (soft, nice size, cute patterns) but not for swaddling. They are too big and not very stretchy. For 8 weeks, my husband and I could not get our baby in a good swaddle. Then I tried smaller, stretchy ribbed-cotton blankets, which were perfect for swaddling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by h2oaloha Best swaddlers
These are the best swaddling blankets. The fact that they're so breathable makes me less stressed that the baby will get it over their face. And they get even softer with time.

Rated 5 out of 5 Are there 6 stars?
These are the best in the world.. I use them for everything! If you cover the stroller with them you baby still has lots of air.. they are perfect for swaddling, holding changing on top of - burp cloth in a pinch - I have even tucked it in tight to use as a sheet for my travel crib when I forgot one!

Rated 5 out of 5 Miracle wrap
I absolutely loved these blankets. My son was born in the summer so they were great because they are so light. Also they are large enough to wrap around a few times in a tight swaddle that will hold well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cshopsalot so many uses
I love these blankets. I swaddled my daughter every night in them as a new born. They work great as blankets, nursing covers, burp clothes, etc. The material is very light and they have been washed soo many times. I still have them and will use them for baby number 2. My only complaint is that my ring gets snagged on the material once in a while, but with some care you can stretch the blanket and the snag goes away. I love the pattern on these too. Gender neutral and different than all the typical over the top boy/girl stuff. Great buy!
March 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Reardon714 If you're having a baby you need these!
These are the best blankets for swaddling. And when you are out and about they make the perfect shield over your car seat from the sun and to keep it darker for baby. The details of the design make me so happy every time I pull them out... and there is a design perfect for everybody!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by moonrose2715 My go to shower gift!
I love these blankets. They are the best for swaddling. They are breathable for warm days, but warm for cold ones. I buy these blankets for every single one of my pregnant friends now. Litterally. I have a stock in my closet for the next friend that announces they're expecting! Get some. You won't regret it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by emarsh best blankets
love these more than any blanket - esp for a newborn. perfect for swaddling, or to shade a carseat/stoller in the summer - they let air flow. they are so soft & wash very very well (better with time!)

It's no wonder that penis rings are incredibly popular. They're one of the few sex toys that can pleasure both men and women at the same time. Penis rings work by fitting snugly around the base of the shaft, limiting blood flow from the penis. Controlling the blood flow can boost his girth and length, while also helping to delay ejaculation.
Some of the most popular penis rings are the vibrating varieties. Given a choice between a regular penis ring and a vibrating penis ring for sex with your partner, the vibrating ring is almost always the best option. The vibrating penis rings typically use a small vibrator and clitoral stimulator to tease your lover during sex. Once you see your lover's face when the vibrating bullet presses against her clit, you'll understand why these little toys are so popular. There are even several varieties that come with multiple motors, targeting both her clit and backdoor, sending her pleasure into overdrive.
For added excitement, try the Double Penetrator Ultimate Penis Ring. Complete with a snugly fit cock ring, this toy also has a bullet vibrator for clit stimulation during sex, and an added shaft for double penetration. With this toy, you can please all three of her main arousal areas at once, leaving you both very, very satisfied.
Some people forget how satisfying solo sex can be with the addition of a cock ring. Products like our Ball Buzzer Penis Ring are great when used with a partner. The clit vibrator will send her into a frenzy, but the additional vibrator at the bottom will take your masturbation to the next level. The gentle buzzing will tease and tickle your testicles, making your toes curl and sending you over the edge while you pleasure yourself.
Adam and Eve is the perfect place to get all of your penis rings. We'll happy to help you and your partner find one that will make your next meeting between the sheets one you both won't soon forget.

If you want to take notes by hand but also want to keep the notes digitally, be warned, you may have limited success with OCR software. One Note, my favourite piece of Microsoft software, seems to be the best option to creating digitised, handwritten notes. Kinda defeats the purpose of toting that Moleskin around though.

While this sounds like a good idea, I don't really see what advantages this would bring if they cant download them to the device as well. The Scoop says it only works when students are in close proximity, so what is the difference between looking at your screen or looking at their own? And how would I know they were looking at the slides, and not Facebook? Interested in thoughts from this group.....?

Finally! I downloaded the Microsoft apps a while back but was frustated by the fact that they would only open as read only documents.now users can access them and be able to use them for free without having to have a 365 account. You can also put them on your phone, although that has limited use for most of us.
Louise Robinson-Lay's insight:
Media Literacy is crucial in today's society. We are bombarded with messages urging us to buy this and look like that. Teaching young people about the messages being sent is vital if they are to be confident and informed citizens. Kathy Schrock's blog gives teachers an overview to this important skill.

With Thanksgiving coming up, our thoughts are all turning to holiday meals, family conversations…and the inevitable road trip. While we don't have any tips on how to deal with loud-mouthed relatives or the inevitable family political argument, we did collect our favorite 10 in-car technological features for your reading pleasure (and preparations for the long drives ahead).
Bluetooth Connectivity
With the exception of texting and driving--which is either illegal in your state, a horrendously bad idea, or both--Bluetooth ensures that there's almost no good reason to pick up your phone while driving anymore. In-car Bluetooth has evolved over the years from using a microphone and your cars speakers to replicate a phone call, to adding steering wheel buttons and interactive on-screen controls to access speed dial. Almost more importantly, most Bluetooth-enabled cars now offer Bluetooth stereo, which gets rid of AUX cables and ports and wirelessly streams music from any device and any source.
USB Ports that Aren't Branded Cables
Bluetooth audio doesn't yet allow drivers to browse their smartphones or devices, so you'll need to use a trusty USB cable to connect a music player or smartphone to your car for that. Years ago we found it charming that cars could come equipped with, say, an on-board 30-pin Apple connector, but as the iPhone's 30-pin connector gave way to a new Lightning connector--and many smartphone fans chose Android phones--those quaint connectors turned to annoyances. Your best bet now is a simple USB port, which supports almost anything you can throw at it, including USB flash drives with music files on them.
Voice Commands
This one is a bit of a gift and a curse. Ford's Sync system first wowed us back in 2007 with its ability to index and voice-activate tracks on our iPods or iPhones, or names in our phone books, or destinations for our navigation systems. When voice commands--now cooked into basically every new infotainment system--work, we love them (who wouldn't love being able to play Duran Duran's entire discography with a single command?). But when voice commands don't work, they inspire feelings not of awe but of irrational anger. And no system or brand has completely cracked the code for perfect voice command systems.
In-Dash Media Streaming
Ford's Sync system is arguably the best one on the market to voice-activate music tracks you own--if it's a music file on your smartphone or music player, Sync will find it with ease. But in the years since Sync hit the market, many users have given up MP3 and AAC files for streaming services (like Spotify, MOG, or Rdio, which give users access to vast music libraries) or radio services (like Pandora or Stitcher, which offer custom internet radio stations) when they want an aural fix. The solution: programs like Sync's AppLink (which supports MOG) and BMW/MINI's ConnectedDrive/iDrive suite (which uses MOG or Pandora), which connect to smartphones and put all of the information/choices on a dashboard screen. Once again, drivers won't have to pick up their phones to change channels or artists.
Heads-Up Displays
Aside from the obvious emotional benefits--it's hard not to feel a little like a jet fighter pilot when driving a car with a heads-up display--heads-up displays are a great example of technology making driving safer. Instead of looking at physical gauges and center stack-mounted GPS screens, drivers can look straight out the windshield and instantly know information like Bluetooth phone caller ID, GPS directions, and speed/time/temperature. Future iterations (like Audi's next-generation MMI Touch) will use greater swaths of the windshield and augmented reality to point arrows at the exact street you need to turn onto, or highlight your exact destination.
BMW iDrive (Physical Controls)
By the middle of the last decade, BMW's iDrive looked like an absolute disaster--it was driving customers away from cars like the 7 Series and frustrating nearly every critic who touched it. Many years (and a few updates) later, iDrive is the veteran system in a world of upstarts (like Cadillac's CUE), and it shows: where whiz-bang tech features like capacitive touchscreens stutter and falter (and in CUE's case, smudge with oily fingerprints), iDrive's physical controller (skinnier and less clunky in its second generation) moves through menus with relative ease. iDrive's coup de grace over similar systems like Audi's MMI and Mercedes-Benz's Comand is its layered menu approach--where a tilt of the controller to the left or right shifts between menus--and its array of shortcut buttons flanking the controller. In comparison, Audi's MMI makes users rely on soft keys and the back button, and Mercedes-Benz's Comand forces drivers to push the controller up or down--a clumsier motion to perform while driving.
OnStar (Live Operators/Cloud-based POI Databases)
A restaurant's name, location, and phone number might only take up a few bytes of data, but there are thousands of restaurants, grocery stores, dry cleaners, and auto mechanics in this country, and they're frequently changing names/places. On-board navigation systems might try their best with Point of Interest databases, storing them on Secure Digital cards and hard drives, but the fact of the matter is this: a 2010 model-year car--and its POI database--isn't going to know about the new Costco around the corner from you. Furthermore, many POI databases aren't accurate for businesses with less than a handful of locations. Enter services like OnStar and BlueLink, which connect drivers (and their cars' Nav systems) to vast online databases that are constantly updated. While we credit services like Google and Bing Maps and Hyundai's BlueLink system (which are automated), we reserve a special shout-out for OnStar. The service may not be cheap--$28.90 a month, included in some GM leases--but it's well worth it for its immensely helpful reps and its ability to turn any new GM car into a nav-equipped one, regardless of what's in your dashboard.
This one is actually pretty obvious--we're so thankful for the camera, we named it our 2013 Technology of the Year. Why did we do it? Because the camera, more than ever, plays an integral part in making us drive better, smarter, safer...the list goes on. While sensors clearly had their heyday--serving as the backbone for park assist systems, blind spot information systems, automatic cruise control, and forward collision warnings, the camera (and the computers that process those images) should soon supplant the sensor. Cameras can now do all of the aforementioned things, and also provide us with clearer pictures of things like blind spots (see Honda's LaneWatch) and parking spots (see Nissan's Around View Monitor and comparable systems), not to mention blind intersections (BMW's outward-facing front ¾ cameras). The latest talk about cameras is that the rear-view camera may be mandatory in the future. We're neither surprised nor disappointed.
GPS That Isn't In-Dash
So you don't have a fancy LCD infotainment/navigation screen in your car, and you don't want (or can't afford) OnStar--what do you do? You've got two excellent options: pick up your phone, or stick a portable GPS unit to your windshield. Portable GPS units--once thousands of dollars--now can be had for a couple hundred (for a good model) and have all sorts of new features like traffic reports, Bluetooth connectivity, and databases of speed or red-light cameras/common speed traps. Your phone--depending on how you look at it--is either better or worse. Programs like Google Maps for Android and Apple Maps for iOS do support voice guidance, but Apple's high-profile Maps meltdown hasn't done much for its reputation. Other apps like TomTom and Navigon could be a better bet, but they're considerably more expensive. Either way, they're more easily updatable/expandable than their in-dash counterparts.
In-Dash Restaurant Recommendations/Reservations
We chose this feature for its usefulness and its wow factor. On one hand, it's highly useful that drivers can choose a restaurant based on Zagat ratings (Acura, among other brands), Yelp ratings (BMW/Mini), and Google/Bing place pages (Toyota, BMW, Audi, among others), but Toyota might have the coolest feature. Toyota's Entune system has Bing on-board for search, but also uses OpenTable to allow passengers to book a table at a local restaurant, call it using Bluetooth, or punch it into the navigation system. Some premium manufacturers have had something similar for a while using live operators (Infiniti comes to mind), but OpenTable for Toyota is packaged into the Entune system, which is free for the car's first three years.

Nutritionists, dieticians and other health professionals involved in helping people to lose weight, tend to agree that healthy eating and a low fat diet are essential for long term healthy weight loss. Losing weight by calorie counting helps to build your knowledge and awareness of what's in what you eat, and what your body really needs. Calorie counting is flexible enough to fit into most lifestyles and can accommodate personal taste, likes and dislikes. There are no forbidden foods when you calorie count - everything is allowed - as long as you eat less calories than you burn up each day you will lose weight, that's a scientific fact!
First you need to work out how many calories you need each day to maintain your weight. For women, this averages around 2000, for men around 2500 (more if you are very over weight, very muscular - or very tall!). To lose weight you need to create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than you burn. If you eat 500 calories less than you need each day you'll lose weight at the rate of one pound a week. If you eat 1,000 calories less than you need each day you'll lose two pounds each week. Your body will have to turn to its fat stores to make up your calorie deficit. It's recommended that you combine exercise (burning more calories) with healthy eating to create a calorie deficit.
You'll need a comprehensive chart or calorie counter to look up the calories in food and drinks. Then jot down what you eat and drink each day and add up the calories. We recommend the Calorie, Carb & Fat Bible calorie counter which lists calories in over 22,000 UK foods. Jotting down what you eat will help you to see where you can make changes to reduce the number of calories you consume. Most people find they have a fairly small number of favourite items that they eat or drink habitually, or in large amounts, which take up a big portion of their daily calorie needs. Calories in alcohol are a good illustration; alcohol has 7 calories per gram and little or no nutritional value. The trick is to reduce these high calorie items - don't cut them out all together, making yourself feel deprived is counter-productive when trying to lose weight - even those calories in alcohol are ok in moderation. Try to concentrate on healthy eating and a low fat diet that leaves some room for treats. For tips on reducing fat see Ten Ways to Reduce Fat for a low fat diet a helpful article by State Registered Dietician Christine Fenn.
