...cyclists the real problem is the way America designs its city streets and they way Americans think about movement. Living in L.A. made me give up driving; the craziness of the freeways, the sprawl of the city and the love of the car all got to me so I decide to chuck the car and switch to commuting by bicycle. I was fortunate in that I lived in Glendale and worked in Burbank which made my commute less then five miles. It wasn't easy to do and some of the biggest problems I found were lack of dedicated space for bicycles on streets, drivers who would pass at high speeds without proper spacing (I think 99% of the drivers weren't even aware I was on the road) and parked cars that would open doors without looking or pull in and out of spaces without checking to see if it was clear. I later moved up to Mountain View, CA and worked in Palo Alto, CA where my commute went up to just a little more then seven miles. The big difference from southern California to northern was the addition of bike lanes some of which even took cyclists completely away from car traffic but there still were problems with drivers and them being aware of cyclists on the road. I have also lived in Chicago, IL and Austin, TX and saw the same problems there. I now live in NYC and have been impressed by how some of the bike lanes are separated or at least shield from most of the moving traffic but I have found there is now a problem with pedestrians that blindly step off the curb into the bike lane without looking because they seem to think they are not stepping into traffic which is sort of true as they are not stepping into car traffic but they are stepping into bicycle traffic. Now I have also been to Germany (Munich & Berlin), Belgium, Amsterdam and Paris and have seen how there just isn't space for cyclists on the road but there is also awareness by both drivers and pedestrians of cyclists and the spaces dedicated for them. In the ten plus years I have ridden there have been at least two occasions that my helmet saved my life; one of which I was not moving at all, I was doing a track stand when a SUV hit me, sent me flying in the air and eventually I landed head first on the street. I always tell people I can break a leg or arm and it wont change who I am but if I break my brain well that is a different story completely and that is why I wear a helmet. I would love to be able to ride without a helmet but until the 99.9% of Americans, drivers and pedestrians, start thinking and seeing cyclists the streets of America will not be safe for riding.

So I haven't read the article from Pakistan's Daily Times but the idea of telling people of other faiths or no faith at all that they aren't allowed to say something about another persons faith is just a ridiculous idea. Why doesn't the Pakistan Prime Minster instead try to pass laws in Pakistan that would punish extremists who are causing the trouble in his country.

Suggest you take a look at Synology (http://www.synology.com/us/index.php) we use them in the small company that I work at and find them to be a good solution.

after the first 30 seconds I wanted to turn it off but tortured myself with the full 6:14 because I just couldn't believe how idiotic it was! Whatever marketing firm is behind this fiasco better start closing shop.
