How to Climb A Hill On A Bike FAST
Do you struggle up hills and always want to avoid them? Hills are a natural part of cycling and are what makes our sport fun and interesting. Don't fear hills; embrace them and take your hill climbing to the next level.
When I mean 'hills', I mean hills that are long enough you can't simply sprint up them in one big gear! The hills I talk about here take roughly 5 to 10 minutes to ascend. These are your typical 'long' hills.
You see, climbing a hill on a bike is always going to be tough on the legs no matter your cycling level. The difference between the good climbers and not so good generally boils down to a combination of cycling hill technique, rider weight (power to weight) and general level of cycling fitness.
The latter two you can manipulate yourself through training and diet, but the former – "cycling technique" has to be learned. Climbing a hill is therefore a learned skill. So for example, if you had an excellent power to weight ratio, did good training, but never got your hill technique sorted, you'd be a long way off riding that hill to your full potential.
Technique is vital:
There's three areas that make up good hill cycling technique:
1. The cadence you choose (how many pedal revolutions you turnover per minute, rpm).
2. The gears you choose.
3. The position either seated or standing you choose.
When applied optimally, these are what forms your 'most efficient' speed (or power ouput) up any given slope.
In other words, when you climb a hill, you're looking for an optimum between gears you use, your cadence and whether you're faster out the saddle or seated.
Let's take a brief look at how these three areas can be a applied to a hill with a consistent gradient. I always break down a hill into three main sections: the beginning, the middle and the summit section.Each section requires a slightly different climbing technique:
The beginning section:
1. Gearing:
When approaching a hill make sure you're in a lower gear than you think you need. This ensures as far as you can that you don't have to shift down to a lower gear whilst riding up a hill. When you shift down you nearly always lose speed. Your goal is always to maintain your speed relative to the slope up the climb.
You'll be surprised how slow you need to go at the foot of the climb to get a personal best up it!
2. Cadence:
This is your pedal frequency (revs per minute, or rpm). You'll find your cadence drops as you ride up hill from the flat. If you are in a low enough gear you should find your cadence fairly high (i.e spinning) before settling into a slightly lower cadence as you settle into a good rhythm and move into the middle part of the climb.
3. Position:
Remain seated on a climb if you're new to cycling up hills. It's best to always get the seated position sorted and used to before learning the standing technique. Most cyclists will remain in the seated position for the first part of the climb to keep conservative. Getting out the saddle always uses more energy. Your goal with all your cycling is be as conservative as you can, so remain seated here, get into a good rhythm and enjoy the challenge ahead!
The middle section:
1. Gearing:
Once you're moving into the middle section of the climb, you have two choices: either step up to a higher gear, or remain in the gear you are in. You really want to be in 'maximum cruise mode' on this section. This is where your 'anaerobic threshold' training comes in. You want to be able to cruise fast up this section, but not so fast you 'blow up' – i.e: go into the red and 'die a million deaths'. Practice here will improve your pace judgement at threshold pace, as will knowing the climb well.
2. Cadence:
Moving from beginning section to mid section, your cadence will drop somewhat from the beginning section. That's fine because you've taken that into account with using a lower gear. You now want to hold onto this cadence and not let it drop any further. If this is done correctly, you'll immediately feel 'on top of the gear' which means 'in control' of your gear versus enough cadence. It 'feels' damn hard, but it feels RIGHT and you've settled into the 'sweet spot' of the climb, so to speak.
3. Position:
This now depends on the slope and how strong you feel. You can alternate between seated and standing to rest alternate muscles, although again this is really reserved for advanced cyclists. If you're new, just continue riding up in the seated position and focus on finding that 'sweet spot'.
You want to adopt an upright position so you can get enough oxygen into your lungs. Don't hunch up or put your face near the handlebars when it gets hard! You should breathe from your abdomen and keep as relaxed as possible at all times.
The summit section:
This is where you can 'make or break' a climb especially against other riders! Really, this is where most cyclists suffer the most because they've gone too hard at the beginning, or even in the middle part of the climb. They 'suffer' because YOU go past them! You now have the advantage of stealing the show from them and teasing them that you're super fit,when actually you're just boxing clever… Ok, that's the racer in me…I'm getting carried away.
Your goal all along has been to be at your fastest nearing the summit of the climb. If you've paced it right you'll be passing many cyclists about now. Or, if you're not racing, then you should feel it's time to get out the saddle and give it your all as you climb to the summit!
1. Gearing:
Again, you could increase to a higher gear and start to accelerate as you see the summit of the climb. It depends again on your fitness level and experience, but if you know the climb well and you've got enough in reserve, then now's the time change up to a higher gear or two, and push faster up to the summit.
2. Cadence:
You maintain your cadence even if you change to a higher gear as you approach the summit. Over the top of the summit you start to push harder to increase your speed, so your cadence should be increasing. As you go over the summit and start the descent this is when you are at your fastest and really cadence should be high, although by this time you may want also want to change to big chain ring, or simply recover!
Hard? You bet – summit accelerating is the hardest part of climbing, but then you're executing what most aren't willing to do – set out at the foot of the climb slower than you think you should do – so that you have enough in reserve to storm passed everyone in the latter part of the climb.
3. Position:
You can either get out the saddle to accelerate or remain seated. Most racers once fit, will get out the saddle to accelerate.
Easier said than done:
In reality, hills have varying slopes and the challenge is always to try and find 'your optimum efficiency' on each one. You'll find that as soon as your cadence drops too far, so your speed decreases – it's a fine balance that comes with much practice.
One other thing to note is that you actually have enough gears on your bike to start with! I think the biggest problems I see in sportives is cyclists not gearing low enough, then having to grovel up climbs when they could actually ride up faster if they had lower gears.
Tip: Lower gears used correctly can make you faster, not slower – it's all in the technique.
Final words:
To get good at climbing hills you need to climb hills all the time. Ok, you need to get your weight down too if you truly want to start 'racing' up them, but really you can gain a huge amount of time as a beginner cyclist by improving your technique first, or at least 'being aware' of how to climb a hill efficiently.
So with that, head out to the hills and enjoy their magic. Hills nearly always improve your power output and strength for cycling, so head out there with these notes in mind, and make the hills your best friend!

Interesting technical question. As a keen hobby cyclist as opposed to 'doing it for years' club cyclist, I find myself in an unusual position of mediocrity when it comes to looking at my hill-climb times compared to the average club rider, and to those of other non-club cycling buddies who are good on the flat but hate hills.. I am way behind the club dudes, but way ahead of the other hobby cyclists. Now, oddly, my cycling buddies are all fitter, stronger, and more muscly than me and indeed I have chicken legs, yet I can easily beat them on hills. And no just browsing through a tour de France magazine with profiles of all the top climbers, they all seem to have skinny legs as well! That must mean that a very weird combination of muscles, or indeed only a specific part of certain muscles must come into play for climbing. The guys at work who want to improve have been told by their coaches to "do loads more squats to build up the quadriceps" but in my view (as someone who wouldn't dream of parting with money to go to a gym anyway!) this cannot be correct advice; these guys already have great big legs and calves compared to me, they are brilliantly fit runners and swimmers (they are big into Tri) yet they are slow going up hills.
So my question is – what is the secret combination of precise muscles and muscle areas that are involved in hill climbing? It definitely isn't thigh muscles as I am prrof of that!
great advice, much appreciated. I'll keep plugging away at those hills! It's interesting that you say that it's a lot about anaerobic threshold.. however all these colleagues of mine all happily get good times (far far better than I would) at running 5000,10000 meters, half marathons.. so there can't be too much wrong in that department for them.. I just can't understand why they struggle so much on hills. Interestingly, they are all very quick endurance cyclists on the flat; I've been out for 50-milers with them and I struggle to keep up on the flat, but as soon as the big hills arrive, they drop like flies. So there must be different muscle areas involved.. indeed when trying to go fast on the flat my calves hurt, but I have no muscle aches or pains whatsoever climbing steep hills, very odd! The other thing is that I am 6 foot 2, 14 stone and with relatively short legs for my height (I have friends the same height whose beltlines start about 6 or 7 inches higher up!) so my power-to-weight ratio must be quite poor as a result, it just makes no sense, however the one thing I have done all my life on a bike is grind my way up hills, simply because I just love hills, so I guess as you implied that's the bottom line – you just have to get out there and do them! Part of me is still wondering if there is a particular set of exercises that can be done on rainy days that would help, but as you say, if its all about the endurance tissue type, then I guess these won't be of much help!
best regards.
How about when a 90 degree turn is followed immediately by a very steep, not gradual climb. You cannot build up any speed?

Hi Rebecca
I just wanted to thank you. I've just recently taken up cycling and have been well and truly bitten by the bug. However, I had a real issue with getting up hills – until I found your website! I found the advice on this post invaluable and I now have a whole new approach and attitude to tackling hills
I write a wee blog of my own – just a bit of fun really – about my cycling exploits and I hope you don't mind that I've put a link to your site on one of my posts. This is the link to that post if you'd like to check it out and if you would like me to remove the link or the quote I'll obviously do so: http://storiesfromthecyclingsaddle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/story-10-reaching-top-with-saddle-and.html
Thanks again
Hi Rebecca
Thanks for your useful information, especially on conserving energy when climbing.
I go to my college by cycling. My college is downhill (lower than my place) so i'm going downhill at morning and UPHILL at evening everyday.
I have been going uphill for about 4.9 km (3 miles) with about 120 m height differences everyday, without knowledge of cycling. Then I found your website, and now I know how to use my energy efficiently…. And very thankful to it.
I will be using this tech tomorrow…. i hope i can make it… its hill we have never climbed before and is full of variations …. newest and longest ever…

I've started using this technique riding up Church Hill in Purleigh (on route to Maldon with Essex Roads Cycle Club) and yes there is a certain sadistic pleasure to be gained in offering encouragement to struggling stragglers as you pass them on route to the summit, standing up in the saddle in a seemingly effortless approach to the top….
Shame I'm so slow everywhere else

I am new to cycling – at 48 I am a late developer! Started cycling about 18 months ago, not been out much this year and got my first road bike in july last year. Have signed up to do the Etape Caledonia in May but I am really struggling with hills. My hubby has been telling me to get in the lowest gear possible when I approach a hill and just do slow and steady. I can overtake him on the straight and flat but I can't compete with his wee legs uphill. I will take on board everything you have put in this post and hopefully – come Sunday when i am doing Johnshill it will make a difference.
Interesting article. I thought you may be interested in a slightly left field perspective. I have a few steep hills around my area and I had some good PBs on my road bike. When I bought a Moulton TSR30 (small wheeled road bike with suspension) I found I could match my road bike on flats but on long climbs it wasn't as quick. The road bike was higher geared but on long steep climbs out of the saddle riding was an option. On the Moulton the front suspension bounces when riding out of the saddle so it is best to spin in the saddle in a lower gears, which luckily it has. At first I thought this would never be as quick, even though my average cadence on flats was normally 90 rpm. But with practice and improving my technique I have now managed to beat my PBs on the hills. This is in spite of me being a few kg heavier and the Moulton being 1 kg heavier too. Too lower gear and the spinning is too fast and doesn't yield speed. Too higher gear and of course effort is too high and you have to gear down. But getting the right gear for the climb makes all the difference. Even if it feels a bit low at the start.
I guess my point is that just like your article says good technique is essential and it is the thing to focus on when trying to improve climbing skills. And never assume the person on the strange little wheeled bike is at a disadvantage ;-).
I am new to cycling and preparing for Triathlon and the route we practice in has a lots of up slope. I am sure your guidelines will help me negotiate the up slope easily and clock good timing. Thanks.

How long to grind a stump
O.K. full disclosure. I run a small landscape/lawncare company. We have had one of the worst droughts EVER this year in Indy. Normally I would not take this job on but...
5 large stumps about a foot or two tall and 4-5 feet across. I can rent a 60HP diesel that hooks to the back of my truck. I then back up to the stump and go to town. Should only need to go 12-18 inches deep. How long can I expect each stump to take? I can rent the machine for about $375 for a day. Can I get these done in an hr a piece with this type of machine? I have run small 20hp grinders and muscled decent size stumps say 24in across but this is a whole new ballgame!
Thanks for having a forum for this type of question!
I am a member on lawnsite and really enjoy sharing and collecting knowledge.
If you plan on "Just backing up and going to town" you are in for a very rude awakening. I sounds like the stumps are very high. Height and width = time. I used to run a 120 hp machine and it would take out a pine stump flush to he ground 2.5-3 feet in diameter in 7 minutes. Now this was a very well maintained machine (the rental may not be), and they were pine stumps. What speicies is your stumps? That will have a huge factor pine vs. oak. IF you flush the stumps and you are very efficient with the grinder (most people are not) I would expect an hour to hour and a half each... TO GRIND. Now do you need to clean them up? Why so deep? 18" is a long way down. Best bet I think, charge by the hour. Rent the machine for the day, add your fee and divide by 8 (if you think you can get it done in a day). Safest way. Good luck
I charge about $4.00 per inch of stump diameter, measured across the largest part of the stump. With a 60hp machine, you should be able to grind a 48 incher in about a half hour. Like squirrel says, cut the stumps to ground level with a saw first, and save a bunch of time. Otherwise, you will be fighting your grinding pile the whole way.

Awesome App!
If you like to customize your phone with your own music this is a great app for you! I've used third party apps like Myxer, which is nice because you have the option to fade in/out, but the sound quality is poor. Using iTunes to make ringtones is nice because the sound quality is maintained, however you don't have the fade in/out option. Ringtones app is great because you can do it right from your phone with fade in/out as well great sound quality! I give it 5 stars, but It would amazing if you didn't have to use iTunes to sync them to your phone.
Amazing app!
I completely love this app! It works flawlessly. I get to create ringtones from my favorite parts of each song. I love playing around with this app, switching tones and speed of the music..then I assign my ringtones to different friends, and when they call, I get so excite, start singing and dancing along - and forget to pick up the phone! :) Super fun app. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I email the ringer to myself & just download & open the file to bring to itunes automatically. My itunes is set to sink ringtones. Love the ability to customize length, fade in & out, find the best part of the song. Fastest & easiest app I've used to make ringtones!

History of the Grand Hotel
The Grand Hotel first opened in Torquay in 1881, in response to the Great Western Railway's expansion into the South West. Its striking Victorian architecture, elegant interiors, fantastic seafront location and award-winning food has earned it pride of place as Torquay's landmark hotel for over 130 years.
During that time, The Grand has witnessed many historical events and has played its own role over the years. In 1926, it was one of the first hotels in the UK to install central heating – a pioneering venture at the time! During World War Two, the hotel was requisitioned by the Royal Air Force. Behind the wallpaper in the rooms on the fourth floor, there are messages and dates that some of the aircrew scribbled on the walls and the restaurant was used as one large dormitory. Each crewman was given a pillow and blanket, and requested to find his own bed – namely, whatever area of the floor was vacant by the time he got there! The Grand reopened as a hotel in 1946.
Corbyn beach, right in front of the hotel was once the site of a late medieval harbour and this maritime tradition has continued, with the more recent development of Torquay Marina (a 10 minute stroll along the seafront from The Grand), and regular large ships and Royal Navy vessels anchoring further out in the bay.
We've welcomed many famous guests throughout our history, including the world-renown 'Queen of Crime', Agatha Christie and music legends, such as the Rolling Stones.
Originally built with just 12 bedrooms, The Grand has been expanded several times to reach its present size of 132 en-suite bedrooms. Keith Richardson purchased the hotel in 2001 and undertook an extensive refurbishment in order to pay homage to its period architecture and Art Deco interiors.
Agatha Christie Connection
The Grand has a unique association with the much-loved author, as the place where she spent her honeymoon in 1914. In recognition of that The Grand Hotel has a bedroom suite named after her. The Agatha Christie suite can comfortably accommodate up to 5 people; it consists of a double bedroom, a twin bedroom, a lounge which has a sofa bed, and a spacious bathroom. The suite is decorated in a style that reflects her literary prowess. Find out more about Agatha Christie and her connection to our hotel and Torquay

Venezia, a new start
Gabriella Belli, the new director of the Musei Civici Veneziani, explains how she will be able to enhance a unique art and cultural heritage
Last December Gabriella Belli was nominated director of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, that includes eleven amongst the most important museums of the city. A new adventure, after twenty-seven years at MART in Trento and Rovereto.
"We have at our disposal enormous artistic wealth and an extraordinary museum institution that requires international visibility. And we are in sync with the flux of people who run the other institutions of the laguna; and closer relationships with the rest of the world need to be woven". Declares Belli, who only looks ahead. "What matters is what I will do and we will do tomorrow. A mid and long term program is fundamental, planning international exhibitions centered upon specific themes, with artists who have a relationship with Venice or an identity link with the Foundation".
Amongst the places to revitalize there is Ca' Pesaro, that will host from 31/3 The Spirit of Klimt: Vittorio Zecchin, Galileo Chini and major decoration cycles in Venice and the Correr, dedicated to big exhibitions and where from 24/3 Gustav Klimt, in the sign of Hoffmann and the Secession has been on show.

Go with a Sound Blaster Live! card. When I got mine with my new (2 years ago) computer I was amazed by the sound quality and software options. It is available as a PCI card and has line out. You can find some good prices on eBay.
I have a compaq presario that has crappy built in sound. It sounds terrible. I was wondering if you guys could suggest a sound card to buy, and where to buy it. Here is what I would like out of it:
1--PCI format
2--preferably have a line level output. Not a headphone output. It would be nice to have a fixed line out that I dont have to adjust the volume in windows.
3--Inexpensive. I really dont need anything with digital in and out, so I dont want to spend over $30 or so.
4-Do they make cards with RCA outputs yet?
Thanks guys!

SB Live! or if you wanna save a few more bucks... a Vibra/Sound Blaster 128...... both are great cards..
Project - GAME OVER :(
the only sound card ive seen with rca's is the sb awe 64 gold. but its isa
"if everything is under control, you're not going fast enough!"
I'll just add my two cents. Although I use all creative cards in my machines at home (those that have soundcards atleast), they are evil incarnate. or aleast they've become that to me since i got the oem sb live! 5.1 for my mp3 player. Phillips makes a good cheap soundcard, i think its the rythmic edge that can be had for about $30 (maybe its the acousitic edge). and without being expensive or old, a soundcard wont have rca most likely (none that I know of).
And why do i think that creative labs is infact the devil? The oem card only came with drivers for xp, so i thought "whats the big deal, ill just download them off the web." But they aren't, anywhere, in any country, or on anyone elses site. So then I was like "I'll just call them." But I couldnt, not without running the registration software that came with my cd, which is why i wanted to call them (infinite loop goodness). So then I was like "God damn hippies, Ill just go buy a retail card." And I did, and the !@# installation cd wouldn't install the DRIVERS ONLY on winME, i dont even use (or like) all their fancy cpu eating software. So before setting fire to the cards and throwing them out of my moving car, I returned them and formated my machine and installed Win98.</rant>
Thanks guys, I just got a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 "value" from Ebay for $25 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=2003669805
What is the "value" edition?
I have a Live! 5.1 in my home comptuer and its great, so I guess I cant go wrong. Thanks!
value: just the card and sb software
gamer: card + 2-3 free games
mp3: card+mp3/audio software
platinum: card + live drive

Looks like Jill Hennessy is returning to her legal roots. CBS announced Wednesday that the former 'Law & Order' Assistant District Attorney is set to guest-star on CBS' 'The Good Wife' next month.
In the episode that is scheduled to air on March 16, the Canadian actress finds herself on the other side of the courtroom, portraying "power" lawyer Rayna Hecht. The episode, entitled "A Few Words," finds Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and Carey (Matt Czuchry) battling to align themselves with a pretty hot-to-trot New York lawyer, who might have the potential to join their newly-formed law firm.
Is Hennessy that lawyer? Personally, I hope so. Hennessy's Claire Kincaid was always my favorite ADA of all the ADAs (and there were plenty!) on NBC's 'Law & Order,' and I was so bummed that they killed her off, too. It will be great to see Hennessy back in a New York courtroom. And fingers crossed that there's a scene reuniting her with her former 'Law & Order' co-star, Chris Noth.
New York Mayor Bill De Blasio is also set to appear as himself in the episode.
After three seasons on 'Law & Order,' Hennessy crossed over to topline the medical drama, 'Crossing Jordan,' which lasted for six seasons on the Peacock network. She recently appeared on HBO's now-defunct horse-racing drama 'Luck,' in which she played Jo. And in a fancy bit of TV trivia, Hennessy's last TV gig was a English-language French police procedural series entitled 'Jo.' It aired last year.
'The Good Wife' returns to CBS on March 9 at 9/8c.

How are hospitals and health systems preparing for the financial effects of health insurance exchanges and other key pieces of health reform legislation? One popular strategy that is unlikely to abate any time soon is to consolidate with other providers.
This is a way of creating population health management alliances, preparing for the shift in patient volume to ambulatory settings, and finding economies of scale for supply chain purchasing.
Birth of a Mega System
The latest health system mega merger is between Baylor Health Care System and Scott & White Healthcare, which sealed the deal to create Dallas-based Baylor Scott & White Health in September, almost a year after it was announced.
The combined $8.3 billion organization has 43 hospitals, more than 6,000 physicians, 34,000 employees, and more than 500 patient care sites, making it the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas.
I recently asked Frederick Savelsbergh, who was CFO at Baylor Health Care System and now holds the same position within the new organization, what influenced Baylor's decision to merge with Scott & White. He said preparing for the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was a major factor.

How Drone Warfare Creates Terrorists
No matter how much anyone talks about "surgical" strikes and precision bombing, air power and civilian deaths are inextricably bound together.
This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website.
When men first made war in the air, the imagery that accompanied them was of knights jousting in the sky. Just check out movies like Wings, which won the first Oscar for Best Picture in 1927 (or any Peanuts cartoon in which Snoopy takes on the Red Baron in a literal "dogfight"). As late as 1986, five years after two American F-14s shot down two Soviet jets flown by Libyan pilots over the Mediterranean's Gulf of Sidra, it was still possible to make the movie Top Gun. In it, Tom Cruise played "Maverick," a US Naval aviator triumphantly involved in a similar incident. (He shoots down three MiGs.)
Admittedly, by then American air-power films had long been in decline. In Vietnam, the US had used its air superiority to devastating effect, bombing the north and blasting the south, but go to American Vietnam films and, while that US patrol walks endlessly into a South Vietnamese village with mayhem to come, the air is largely devoid of planes.
Consider Top Gun an anomaly. Anyway, it's been 25 years since that film topped the box-office—and don't hold your breath for a repeat at your local multiplex. After all, there's nothing left to base such a film on.
To put it simply, it's time for Americans to take the "war" out of "air war." These days, we need a new set of terms to explain what US air power actually does.
Start this way: American "air superiority" in any war the US now fights is total. In fact, the last time American jets met enemy planes of any sort in any skies was in the First Gulf War in 1991, and since Saddam Hussein's once powerful air force didn't offer much opposition—most of its planes fled to Iran—that was brief. The last time US pilots faced anything like a serious challenge in the skies was in North Vietnam in the early 1970s. Before that, you have to go back to the Korean War in the early 1950s.
This, in fact, is something American military types take great pride in. Addressing the cadets of the Air Force Academy in early March, for example, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates stated: "There hasn't been a US Air Force airplane lost in air combat in nearly 40 years, or an American soldier attacked by enemy aircraft since Korea."
And he's probably right, though it's also possible that the last American plane shot down in aerial combat was US Navy pilot Michael Scott Speiker's jet in the First Gulf War. (The Navy continues to claim that the plane was felled by a surface-to-air missile.) As an F-117A Stealth fighter was downed by a surface-to-air missile over Serbia in 1999, it's been more than 11 years since such a plane was lost due to anything but mechanical malfunction. Yet in those years, the US has remained almost continuously at war somewhere and has used air power extensively, as in its "shock and awe" launch to the invasion of Iraq, which was meant to "decapitate" Saddam Hussein and the rest of the Iraqi leadership. (No plane was lost, nor was an Iraqi leader of any sort taken out in those 50 decapitation attacks, but "dozens" of Iraqi civilians died.) You might even say that air power, now ramping up again in Afghanistan, has continued to be the American way of war.
From a military point of view, this is something worth bragging about. It's just that the obvious conclusions are never drawn from it.
The Valor of Pilots
Let's begin with this: to be a "Top Gun" in the US military today is to be in staggeringly less danger than any American who gets into a car and heads just about anywhere, given this country's annual toll of about 34,000 fatal car crashes. In addition, there is far less difference than you might imagine between piloting a drone aircraft from a base thousands of miles away and being inside the cockpit of a fighter jet.
Articles are now regularly written about drone aircraft "piloted" by teams sitting at consoles in places like Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. Meanwhile, their planes are loosing Hellfire missiles thousands of miles away in Afghanistan (or, in the case of CIA "pilots," in the Pakistani tribal borderlands). Such news accounts often focus on the eerie safety of those pilots in "wartime" and their strange detachment from the actual dangers of war—as, for instance, in the sign those leaving Creech pass that warns them to "drive carefully" as this is "the most dangerous part of your day."
When it comes to pilots in planes flying over Afghanistan, we imagine something quite different—and yet we shouldn't. Based on the record, those pilots might as well be in Nevada, since there is no enemy that can touch them. They are inviolate unless their own machines betray them and, with the rarest of imaginable exceptions, will remain so.
Nor does anyone here consider it an irony that the worst charge lodged by US military spokespeople against their guerrilla enemies, whose recruits obviously can't take to the skies, is that they use "human shields" as a defense. This transgression against "the law of war" is typical of any outgunned guerrilla force which, in Mao Zedong's dictum, sees immense benefit in "swimming" in a "sea" of civilians. (If they didn't do so and fought like members of a regular army, they would, of course, be slaughtered.)
This is considered, however implicitly, a sign of ultimate cowardice. On the other hand, while a drone pilot cannot (yet) get a combat award citation for "valor," a jet fighter pilot can and no one—here at least—sees anything strange or cowardly about a form of warfare which guarantees the American side quite literal, godlike invulnerability.
War by its nature is often asymmetrical, as in Libya today, and sometimes hideously one-sided. The retreat that turns into a rout that turns into a slaughter is a relative commonplace of battle. But it cannot be war, as anyone has ever understood the word, if one side is never in danger. And yet that is American air war as it has developed since World War II.
It's a long path from knightly aerial jousting to air war as... well, what? We have no language for it, because accurate labels would prove deflating, pejorative, and exceedingly uncomfortable. You would perhaps need to speak of cadets at the Air Force Academy being prepared for "air slaughter" or "air assassination," depending on the circumstances.
From those cadets to Secretary of Defense Gates to reporters covering our wars, no one here is likely to accept the taking of "war" out of air war. And because of that, it is—conveniently—almost impossible for Americans to imagine how American-style war must seem to those in the lands where we fight.
Apologies All Around
Consider for a moment one form of war-related naming where our language changes all the time. That's the naming of our new generations of weaponry. In the case of those drones, the two main ones in US battle zones at the moment are the Predator (as in the sci-fi film) and the Reaper (as in Grim). In both cases, the names imply an urge for slaughter and a sense of superiority verging on immortality.
And yet we don't take such names seriously. Though we've seen the movies (and most Afghans haven't), we don't imagine our form of warfare as like that of the Predator, that alien hunter of human prey, or a Terminator, that machine version of the same. If we did, we would have quite a different picture of ourselves, which would mean quite a different way of thinking about how we make war.
From the point of view of Afghans, Pakistanis, or other potential target peoples, those drones buzzing in the sky must seem very much like real-life versions of Predators or Terminators. They must, that is, seem alien and implacable like so many malign gods. After all, the weaponry from those planes is loosed without recourse; no one on the ground can do a thing to prevent it and little to defend themselves; and often enough the missiles and bombs kill the innocent along with those our warriors consider the guilty.
Take a recent event on a distant hillside in Afghanistan's Kunar Province where 10 boys, including two sets of brothers, were collecting wood for their families on a winter's day when the predators—this time American helicopters evidently looking for insurgents who had rocketed a nearby American base—arrived. Only one of the boys survived (with wounds) and he evidently described the experience as one of being "hunted"—as the Predator hunts humans or human hunters stalk animals. They "hovered over us," he said, "scanned us, and we saw a green flash," then the helicopters rose and began firing.
For this particular nightmare, war commander General David Petraeus apologized directly to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who has for years fruitlessly denounced US and NATO air operations that have killed Afghan civilians. When an angered Karzai refused to accept his apology, Secretary of Defense Gates, on a surprise visit to the country, apologized as well, as did President Obama. And that was that—for the Americans.
Forget for a moment what this incident tells us about a form of warfare in which helicopter pilots, reasonably close to the ground (and modestly more vulnerable than pilots in planes), can't tell boys with sticks from insurgents with guns. The crucial thing to keep in mind is that, no matter how many apologies may be offered afterwards, this can't stop. According to the Wall Street Journal, death by helicopter is, in fact, on the rise. It's in the nature of this kind of warfare. In fact, Afghan civilians have repeatedly, even repetitiously, been blown away from the air, with or without apologies, since 2001. Over these years, Afghan participants at wedding parties, funerals, and other rites have, for example, been wiped out with relative regularity, only sometimes with apologies to follow.

Four fans facing charges after Jets-Patriots postgame fight
After the Jets beat the Patriots in overtime on Sunday, four fans got into a fight at MetLife Stadium and now, all four fans will be facing charges. The fight made national headlines after a YouTube video emerged that showed a male Jets fan punching a female Patriots fan.
The male Jets fan, identified as Kurt Paschke, and the female Patriots fan, identified as Jaclyn Nugent, were both among the four charged.
Paschke, 38, of Holbrook, N.Y.; Nugent, 26, of Boston; Amanda MacDowell, 25, of Marlborough, Mass.; and David James Sacco, 28, of Boston, will have to appear in East Rutherford (N.J.) Municipal Court to face charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct.
"The investigation revealed that Amanda MacDowell and Jaclyn Nugent were observed kicking and punching Paschke in the body and head. Shortly thereafter, Paschke was observed striking Nugent with a punch to the face. David James Sacco then was observed striking Paschke in the face," the New Jersey State Police said in a statement.
The story took an odd turn on Monday when it was discovered that Paschke had spent nearly four years in prison in the early 1990's for committing criminally negligent homicide in the 1992 death of a 17-year-old. The 38-year-old Paschke was a teenager when that incident happened.
While this case makes it way through the legal system, none of the four fans involved in the incident will be allowed back at MetLife Stadium.
"We have zero tolerance for this behavior. Consistent with our Fan Code of Conduct, those involved have been banned from attending any events at the stadium," the Jets said in a statement. "Once the legal process has run its course, each of them must take the necessary steps before even being considered for readmission to future events."

First Post-Mubarak Parliament Opens as Islamists Dominate
Members of Egypt's newly formed parliament elected a candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood's party as speaker in secret balloting today, in the chamber's first session since the downfall of Hosni Mubarak.
Mohammed Saad el-Katatni got 399 out of 496 valid votes, said Mahmoud el-Sakka, member of the Wafd party, who temporarily headed the session as the eldest lawmaker. Voting in the assembly was broadcast on state television.
"We declare to the Egyptian people and the whole world that our revolution will continue," el-Katatni said after results were announced. "We shall not rest until all the revolution's goals are completed. We will avenge the death of martyrs through fair, rapid and efficient trials and build a new, democratic and constitutional Egypt."
Islamists led by the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom & Justice party dominate the lower house of the assembly, in contrast to the previous parliament, which was controlled by Mubarak's now-dissolved National Democratic Party and contained no lawmakers from the Brotherhood. Freedom and Justice said its bloc won 235 of the 498 elected seats, or 47 percent.
Yellow Scarves
A number of lawmakers, mostly liberals, wore yellow scarves saying "No to military trials for civilians" during the oath-taking process which preceded the voting for speakership. This was a reference to thousands of civilians and activists who faced charges before military courts since Mubarak ceded power to the military council last February.
The oath-taking process was interrupted repeatedly as some members added their own words to the oath, reflecting their different ideologies. Some lawmakers said they will respect the constitution and the law, adding "in what doesn't violate God's law". Others added pledges of respect for the revolution and its goals to their oath.
"This is a parliament that is reflective of the Egyptian people's will," said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar. "There isn't any longer one party that dominates Egyptian politics."
While the elections were the freest in decades, the seven weeks of voting failed to allay tensions between the activists who ousted Mubarak and the military council that took power from him. Protesters are calling for mass rallies on Jan. 25, the anniversary of the start of the demonstrations against Mubarak, to demand the generals transfer power immediately to civilians. The council has said it will only cede authority when a president is elected by the end of June.
Building Tensions
One of the first tasks of parliament is to select a committee that will write the new constitution, an issue that has been the focus of much political wrangling. Conflicting statements about the powers the assembly will hold in the future led to speculation of a confrontation with the country's military rulers.
"The tensions are going to build slowly," said Hamid. "Sometimes there will be accommodation, sometimes there will be confrontation."
The alliance led by the Nour party, which follows an austere interpretation of Islam, holds the second-largest share of seats. Under Mubarak and his predecessors, Egypt's security forces were used to suppress Islamist and other opposition groups.
Economic Slump
Many demonstrators say the structure of the electoral system and timing of the vote unfairly favored the Brotherhood.
The unrest of the past year has curbed tourist arrivals and foreign investment and lowered economic growth to 1.8 percent in the fiscal year through June, the slowest pace in at least a decade. Tourist arrivals fell 33 percent last year, while international reserves are at the lowest level since March 2005.
The government failed to achieve its target of 3.5 billion pounds ($580 million) in yesterday's sale of nine-month treasury bills, raising less than a third of that amount and paying an average yield of 15.802 percent. That's the highest rate since Bloomberg started tracking the data in 2006.
Egypt submitted a formal request last week for a $3.2 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund on Jan. 16 to help its struggling economy. Egyptian officials said they turned down a deal for a similar debt package from the fund last June. Since then, foreign currency reserves have dropped 32 percent.
The head of the military council, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, said Egypt is facing "grave and unprecedented dangers" and urged Egyptians to be vigilant to thwart "plots and conspiracies" against their country, Mena reported on Jan. 17. The army on Jan. 21 ordered the release of 1,959 prisoners convicted by military courts since the protests began.

Using the answer of my previous question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3710263/how-do-i-create-a-csv-file-from-database-in-python
And 'wb' for opens
w = csv.writer(open(Fn,'wb'),dialect='excel')
How can I open all files in a directory and saves all files with the same name as starting name and use 'wb' to reformat all files. I guess convert all CSV's to binary CSV's.

ANAHEIM – Restaurateur Bruno Serato has a national reputation for feeding needy children – his "motel kids" – nightly at his Anaheim White House restaurant.
But Serato, who last year was named one of 10 CNN Heroes, said he continues to have a nagging feeling he should do more.
"I feel great at 4 p.m. each day when I'm preparing pasta for the 300 kids I feed," he said. "I feel great at 4:30 p.m. watching them eat. But every day at 5 p.m., when I see them getting back in those Boys & Girls Club vans, I feel horrible knowing they are going back to spend the night in a motel, where often they are surrounded by drugs, drug addicts and sometimes even sexual predators.
"I don't think any child should have to live in a motel."
So now Serato also helps get families out of motels for good.
On Wednesday night, he hosted four families who live in Orange County motels at his Italian bistro and surprised them with oversized golden keys and gingerbread houses with their names written in frosting over the front doors.
He wants to help working families overcome one of the toughest obstacles to going from motel living back into an apartment or house – by paying for the security deposit of first and last month's rent. Through Serato's nonprofit Caterina's Club Foundation, named in honor of his mother, the selected families get $2,000 to $4,000.
"I can't believe it. I wish I could find the words to say how grateful I am," said Lisa Garza of Santa Ana, who came to the dinner with her mom, Gloria, and her children Felicity and Manuel Velazquez, ages 10 and 8.
Lisa Garza said she lost her job and has been living with her mom and children in a motel since February.
"(A motel) is not the right environment to be raising kids," she said. "I'm back to work, but getting enough for first and last month's rent is a struggle. It's unbelievable that he (Serato) is reaching out to help a few of us that are trying to help ourselves."
Manuel clutched the oversized golden key and the boy practiced opening an imaginary door to his new home.
"I'm so happy," he said.
Serato rubbed his eyes as he teared up: "I feel like I'm not just helping kids' stomachs with this," he said. "I'm now helping change their lives."
He hopes to help 20 more families within the next month, then will continue to help other families as the money becomes available through his foundation.
Serato held fundraisers at his restaurant earlier this year to raise the initial money. He contacted the Irvine-based Illumination Foundation, which works with Orange County families on the verge of homelessness and subsidizes their rents.
The Illumination Foundation vets the families to ensure that the aid goes only to families with working parents who are living free of substance abuse. Serato asks that his financial help goes to families with at least two children, because his focus is on supporting kids.
"We didn't choose these families; they really are families that chose themselves because of their hard work," said Katie Rootlieb, development director for the Illumination Foundation.
"But we don't have the resources to pay first and last month's rent for all of our families," she said. "We wouldn't be able to do it without the generosity of donors like Bruno. He has the energy and the heart."
Felisa Ursua, 48, said the gift will allow her and her husband, Fred, and daughters Fantazia, 10, and Fredyzia, 7, to move out of the run-down Costa Mesa hotel they've been in for three years.
"Our girls are getting older and they shouldn't be living in a motel, where they're neighbors are always changing," she said. "We've been living paycheck to paycheck. This is like a miracle for us."

This wine is made by the team that also brings you the wonderful and long-lived Château Calon-Ségur. Coming from a property that produces very tannic and structured wines for their first wine, this small production wine provides plenty of substance in a great vintage like 2009. Made from 65% Cabernet, 20% Merlot and 15% Cab Franc, it has big chocolaty aromas that follow to the palate. Decant for an hour or more; it then comes around nicley, and enjoy with a steak or prime rib or some fancy cheese! Very limited production. Great pedigree.
