The heat is on: Edwards heaps pressure on his charges

12:20pm Saturday 18th February 2012
By Chris Kirwan
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons head coach Darren Edwards has admitted there is no margin for error in tonight's clash with Edinburgh.
The RaboDirect Pro12 league table doesn't make pretty reading ahead of this evening's encounter at Rodney Parade.
The Dragons lie in 11th place with bottom club Aironi within striking distance.
The region travel to Italy next weekend to take on the basement outfit and Edwards expects to go to the Stadio Luigi Zaffanella looking for back-to-back successes.
"Tonight is a huge game, it's a must-win game," said Edwards.
"Our number one priority is league points, a good performance would be nice but our minimum requirement is a win.
"We can have no excuses. Preparation has gone well this week and we have a good team out there.
"The players know what is expected of them. We couldn't have done any more in the build-up and now is the time to deliver.
"The result didn't go our way in Ulster last week but the attitude of the players was spot on.
"We need the same again because the next two weeks are massive for us."
The Dragons are without lock Adam Jones, who suffered another blow on his troublesome right ankle at Ravenhill last week, and scrum-half Wayne Evans, who has back trouble.
Jevon Groves starts in the second row while Joe Bedford wears the number 9 jersey and is backed up by Wales Under-20s prospect Jon Evans.

Councillor K. Quinn
Councillors Baines, J. Fitzpatrick, Sweeton and Taylor.
Councillors Cooney and B. Holland.
.Steven Pleasant (Chief Executive), Pam Williams (Executive Director – Finance), Andrew Hall (Senior Resource Manager), Robin Monk (Assistant Executive Director – Economic and Technical Services), Ian Saxon Assistant Executive Director (Environmental Services), Andrew Leah (Head of Housing and Planning), Elaine Todd (Assistant Executive Director – Asset and Investment Partnership Management).
The Minutes of the meeting of the Strategic Capital Group held on 17 November 2011 were signed by the Chair as a correct record.
Consideration was given to a report of the Executive Director (Finance) which summarised the Council's capital monitoring position at December 2011, and showed a projected spend under budget at outturn of £1.930m against the agreed capital scheme budgets. The capital programme included assumed slippage of £3.300m, which adjusted the outturn position to a projected spend over budget at outturn of £1.370m.
Reference was made to the details of the variation, totalling £1.930m which was shown by service area in Appendix 1 of the report. It was further reported that the expenditure to December 2011, totalling £31.341m reflected 66% of the 2011/12 approved capital project, compared with the actual spend at the same monitoring period in 2010/11 being £58.114m which equated to 58% of the approved budget.
Details were given of the current capital programme position for the following three years, together with the current forecast level of capital receipts to be generated. It was further reported that the Council had successfully delivered a number of important projects in the quarter to December 2011, including the completion of the remaining 4 schools, from the current 5 school PFI agreements which had been handed over on 3 January 2012. A new community centre had also been completed at Dukinfield Park on the site of a former bowling green pavilion.
Particular reference was made to the following:-
Resolved that a recommendation be made to Executive Cabinet to approve that:
Consideration was given to a report of the Assistant Executive Director (Environmental Services) detailing the replacement of the refuse collection fleet and the current review of the Waste Services Section, which was due for completion in April 2012.
He reported that the Council operated a complex and varied fleet of refuse collection vehicles to enable it to collect domestic, commercial and recyclable waste from the citizens and businesses of the borough. It was further reported that the fleet was now provided by a mix of out right ownership and medium term hire arrangements. 3 of the vehicles operated by Waste Services had been previously funded through a capital grant from DEFRA and the need to replace these vehicles had been also referenced in a Key Decision which had been taken on 31 August 2011.
Details were given of the profile of the refuse collection fleet and this report covered 9 vehicles, 6 medium term hire vehicles and 3 owned vehicles. Further reference was made to the potential savings by outright purchase of 6 new refuse vehicles and finance over 7 years, together with the costs benefits of purchasing the 3 vehicles to replace the three council owned vehicles.
It was further reported that by terminating the medium term hire arrangement for the 6 freighters and replacing the 3 vehicles due to end 2012/13, by purchasing new vehicles financed over a 7 year borrowing period would accrue £507k over the 7 year period.
Particular reference was given to the following:-
Resolved that a recommendation be made to Executive Cabinet to approve:
Consideration was given to a report of the Executive Member (Business and Community Development) and Assistant Executive Director (Asset and Investment Partnership Management) detailing a proposal to relocate the Dukinfield Park Road War Memorial situated in Dukinfield Cemetery.
It was reported that the War Memorial currently located on Park Road was erected in 1920 to commemorate the sacrifices made by men from the Tame Valley. In this location the war memorial was clearly visible from the vast monolith that was Park Road Mill and its small neighbour Old Mill, where most of the local population worked in textile production.
However, it was reported that, the decline of the textile industry and the demolition of Park Road Mill had weakened the tangible link between the memorial and its community and now stood in isolation from the local community, inaccessible and in danger of being forgotten, deteriorating due to age and vandalism and the access steps in their current position, with no handrails to assist access, presented a clear health and safety issue to users and had now been closed off from public use as a precautionary measure.
Due to its current state and the issues of access it had been therefore proposed to relocate the war memorial to and accessible location and the following options had been considered:-
Details were given of the assessment of the current location, the condition of the steps, planning approval/listed building consent, proposed works and contract management, risk management and equalities issues.
In conclusion, it was reported that the war memorial was in poor condition and would continue to deteriorate without restoration in its current location and would be accelerated due to water ingress in existing cracks, if the structural issues were not addressed. It was further reported that there had been some objection to the proposals on the grounds of loss of historical interest, however the Secretary of State had given approval for the proposed relocation. Funding had been set aside within the Children, Learning and Economic Services capital programme from the Access to Buildings budget for this work.
It was reported that a Key Decision had been taken at the Joint Meeting of Executive Cabinet and Overview (Audit) Panel on 8 February 2012 which approved that:
That the report be noted.
Consideration was given to a report of the Assistant Executive Director – Economic and Technical Services which updated Members on Developer Contributions and Section 106 Agreements.
Details were given of the summary position statement at December 2011 with regard to receipts for Section 106 Agreements and Developer Contributions. He stated that the total for Section 106 Agreements was £994,000 and £365,000 for Developer contributions.
With regard to Services for Children and Young People, of the £229k received from the Audenshaw Depot housing development, £173k had been informally allocated to a roof replacement scheme at Audenshaw Primary School and £35k received from the housing at Dukinfield Golf Club would be committed by the end of the financial year towards the start of the BSF project to remodel Astley Sports College and Cromwell School.
It was reported that with regard to District Assemblies the following allocations would be made:-
District Assemblies
Engineering Services
Details were given of risk management in respect of the Engineering Services schemes and it was reported that there were no new Section 106 agreements since the last meeting.
Further reference was made to Commuted Sums, Developer Contribution and Section 106 funding, in particular the current arrangements in respect of commuted sums for maintenance when land was transferred to the Council as part of a Section 106 agreement or where existing facilities were upgraded with an ongoing maintenance liability. Currently the annual cost was calculated by the District Assemblies Operations Team who made an informed judgement on the type of maintenance regime required to produce a schedule of costs based on known rates for labour, materials and vehicles and an inflationary allowance made for each year for the 10 years of the agreement.
It was reported that a review was currently being undertaken to check the primary legislation and planning guidance, case law and best practice to ascertain whether the formula could be changed to permit future agreements to require payments for longer than a 10 year period as other local authorities' agreements ranged from 10 years to 41 years. Members suggested that a 25 year agreement be looked at for future commuted sums and it was -
There were no urgent items for consideration at this meeting.

One leaf fell from a tall, tall tree
and subtly kissed gnarled roots beneath;
a lover's kiss below sunned-sheath
of greenest leaves, a jubilee.
One spiraling leaf brought playful mirth
to sullen earth of trodden dirt.
A flight of hopeful shades of spring,
for hard, hard ground, an offering
One leaf dressed in a sparkling jade
glided with grace to green grass blades
and rested near a bubbling brook,
then waited for warm breeze that shook
its flirty skirt on green, green glade.
An arc of bright green canopy
warmed my heart in bluest mood,
and one leaf blew a kiss from you.
It twirled and pranced and floated by,
then with a touch it came to lie
green in my hand, a dear surprise.
Like emerald hills of Irish tales,
I marveled at how one leaf sailed
green In my hand that blue, blue day,
a kiss from you on Patty's Day -
The gray clouds parted shining green,
a beauty like I'd never seen.

Listen to nurse's report including the news
that Joe and Wilma like each other.
Check all rooms and find that Roger is out of his bed
and down on the floor again.
(Hip not broken yet.)
Answer Wanda's light to calm her justified paranoia
because she knows that she is somewhere other
than her home but just can't figure out where that is.
Answer Jeremy's light to help him sip his water
while he giggles at his favorite T.V. show.
Accept his thanks and feel your heart break again to see a
45 year old man who can no longer control his limbs be so
appreciative of such a small act of kindness...big act of kindness.
Check on Jack even though he doesn't turn on his light
because you hear suspicious noises coming from his room.
Help Jack to bed after you find him swatting an
imaginary fly with an imaginary fly swatter.
Try to re-position Emma so that she is comfortable
even though her limbs are fetal-position frozen.
Kindly lie to yourself about her comfort so that you can
control your guilt when leaving the room.
Go into Jackie's room when she starts her usual screaming
that "she doesn't want to be here, and her family hates her
and that's why she's here."
Kindly lie to her and control your shame because you know that
what she is saying probably is true.
Answer ex-model Mabel's light and listen to her story about
how she could have married Groucho Marx, but that she married
her true-love instead.
Feel a sense of sad pride when Anna proudly explains to you
how she keeps track of her day by tracking her activities as she
would have for patients when she was a nurse.
Keep taking care of and giving these people (not patients)
love every chance that you get.
Gail's notes: Portrait of Joe and Wanda is the sequel to this. To protect the privacy of those who have lived before us, the names have been fictionalized, and the events semi-fictionalized.

Radiant hymn's of morning sun
of Godly words O' how I run
to and fro
I traipse in search
in love I rest
still my spirit yearns
I will sing of the Lord's great love
I hear the call upon the hill
in shallow breath my heart lie still
O' trial O' fear
I march ahead
I call my king
on Zion's perch
I will sing of the Lord's great love
To proclaim everlasting the prize
onward and bestowed to rise
O' anointed one
I march ahead
in love I rest
each day of toil
I will sing of the Lord's great love
I will sing
O' how I bear in my heart
in completion just to be a part
with sinful flesh
my spirit cries
I call my King
to shun desire
I will sing of the Lord's great truth
I shall sing forever

Sunny today
but Oh what a chill
The wind inhales and exhales
the trees bend on the hill
Winnie the Poohs Blustery Day
just cannot compete
In like a lion and out like a lamb
I am so tired of paying for heat
I long for crocuses, tulips and green
it seems like ages since they have been seen

The 'Undred an' Fifth is the greatest o' Britain,
They charge like the Royal Marines;
They'll shatter the shock, and they'll 'old like a rock,
On nothin' but pork leg an' beans.
They march by the mile, an' they step 'er in style;
At 'ome by the land 'r the sea.
They'll fight like a lion, an' die for the tryin',
For nothin' save crackers an' tea.
Aye! the 'Undred an' Fifth is the best in the land;
They 'ave trampled the gates o' Chardaux.
Brave for the fight, they 'll sail to the sand,
An' they'll march till they meet wi' the foe!
The 'Undred an' Fifth, yes the best o' the best;
They 'ud conquer the ends o' the world.
Not taking a rest, they are game for the test,
Till the Jack o' the Brits is unfurled.
The 'Undred an' Fifth is the greatest forever;
They'll cross any line in the sand.
When others 'ave failed, an' the reg'lars 'ave bailed,
Then the Fifth o' the 'Undreds 'll stand!
They stand in a rank, an' they march in a file,
They 'ark to an ol' rusty sot:
They serve for the Queen, as they camp o'er the mile;
They're the greatest that Britain 'as got!

Sweet, bitter March,
last year tears haven't dried out up
till now and yet you
are already at the door,
knocking lightly!
Sadness is still flapping over my head like
a frantic goose, what have you brought with you
to silence its primordial honking?!
I can see your hunched silhouette against the wall
Of my waiting, standing awash with shame,
wringing your empty hands desperately!
O' March , anniversary of tears and smiles,
Memories are pacing around nostalgically, sniffing
the withered roses, leafing through the pages of books
trying to put the haphazard leftovers of a once
beautiful image into shape…
The hurricane that accompanied you once
has subdued, leaving behind a nerve-tearing silence and
a deracinated life!
Don't wonder; rootless hopes are still roving
over the corpse of a long dead dream, taking
strength from the ever pulsating stars…
March, March , embracer of birth and death,
the breath of eternity has abandoned
your rosy-cheeked child..
The resonance of its happy giggles are
haunting the vacant hours of night, sending me
reeling of longing!
Its face emerges from among the clouds of years, an angelic
Vision imprinted on the face of a mourning moon!

Another day chased away by cold breese
And the fast wind into the dark caves flees
Silence, a master of the place that screams
And the void, a hole that swallows the beams
Into gloomy shades, the birds take refuge
As, the sky a black dome awfully huge
What is left, is the empty streets, without
And within, a poet rotten by doubt
Inside my chest, a throbbing heart, in fear
The season might mean that the end is near
As the trees, their leaves with rustle they fall
Highlighted by the scared few birds that call
As if Spring this year were just meant to leave
Before term, and before my words, i'd give

Replenished with rain, it rushes on,
Its brown water pours and spills
Like vinegar from the pickle bottle,
Tumbling over, bubbling through
The jagged jumble of rocks,
Those early plants pushed aside to let it pass,
Its running melody ringing clear,
Competing with the robin's call,
The stream pushes on, its cheerful song
Belies the chill beneath,
As it strives to outrun Winter,
While the fragile sun sighs
'Too soon, too soon'.

Last league of March, after spring had reached its peak,
I opened my doors to abeer.
And sunshine.
She grinned,
And shrieked in delight when I caught her.
The saffron on the curves of her hips is mine.
The azure on the rise of her breasts.
The dark, raunchy purple on her lips.
The vermilion on her forehead is not,
And when dusk fell, it drew her away from me.

There is another March Madness
and it also happens every year,
there are shouts, cheers, and a tear...
I wonder if you can make a guess?
The fans - they dress in all sorts of wild gear,
and there are office bets placed all around;
the brackets are made and are NCAA bound
and no Madness is the same from year to year.
Can you guess what this thing I rhyme is all about,
or are you like some who really don't care?
But watch and you'll see some amazing air
for basketball fans - March Madness carries real clout.
Now I know this isn't about the blues,
but I wasn't in the mood to make you sad,
so I wrote this piece, I hope you're glad...
the March Madness cure - Basketball shoes!

Entry for the contest: World or War: Viet Nam
Author: Elaine Cecelia Geroge, of Canada
Inspired by: the Picture of the soldier's
carrying their wounded comrade through
the Viet Nam Jungle. In this poem, it is
the soldeir on the left.
I dream of heaven here on earth,
where I walk in meadows green,
in the Blue Ridge Mountains, of Virginia
beside a mountain stream;
where rainbow coloured - wild flowers,
swaye upon a breeze;
and leafy emeralds blossom,
on the limbs of lofty trees.
There in those hills where I was born
'Heather' waits for me;
my love, my wife, I see her now
in every breath I breathe.
And I dare not cast my eyes
upon this grim reality;
here in Viet Nam,
where thorns and bards on gnarled trees,
hold me in this hell- hole,
in an endless muddy stream,
filled with blood, and sweat, and tears,
and victories broken dream.
And I dare not free my hands,
to wipe away these tears I cry,
I can not! I must not! for if I do,
my brother dies!
So with every single beat,
of this patriotic heart,
staring in the face of death, I march -
I march through Hell,
And dream of Heaven here on Earth

The candles are aglow on your birthday cake,
Where a wish awaits for only you to make,
A cascade of confetti thrown by many a friend,
Balloons and flowers, gifts and parties without end,
A year filled with new smiles and never a tear,
And with many heartfelt words of good cheer,
Like those I have written right here on the page,
A Happy Birthday to you, no matter what your age!
I wrote this for Linda's (Poet Destroyer's) birthday,
but I thought it was appropriate to repost this,
since today is my birthday!
It is always nice to share this special day with friends.
And, I consider all of you to be mine! :)

Another hockey battle comes along the way
It's a hockey night across the bay
And for the fans, it's a night of pride and respect
Thursday night with the blue and white
Trying to play for their season pride
Thursday night with the black and blue
Trying to play for their playoffs ride
When the dance on the ice begins to ring
Their voices of strong support will begin to sing
With an atmosphere of a pep rally from high school
The cheers of a true fan - a hockey team's supporting tool
Toronto Maple Leafs - the underdog team
Coming away from the bay to fight for respect
Tampa Bay Lightning - the elite team
Coming from the bay to keep their respect
From the cheers of "GO LEAFS GO" away from home
To the cheers of "LET'S GO LIGHTNING" close to home
Hockey Night in Tampa Bay - a worthy game to expect
And their season matchup will be known as "The Hockey Battle of Respect"

The days of March are dark and drear.
In April rain clouds still appear.
By May the weatherman we cheer,
And June is here, and June is here.
July brings forth the perfect rose.
In August we take off our clothes.
September we must don our hose,
And summer goes, and summer goes.
October the cool breezes blow.
November brings a hint of snow.
December time is all aglow,
Bright gifts with bow, bright gifts with bow.
In January a deep freeze.
Small February is a tease.
Bold March once more will try to please.
Time to plant peas, time to plant peas.

Ratta tat tat, as he taps on his drum
The war isn't over, it's just begun
He'll play that drum until the moon shines bright
He'll play that drum till the stars come out at night
With bullets flying over head
He looks around and sees the dead
Explosions and smoke lace the air
But still he runs, and plays his drum
He wants to cry but shows no fear
Fear is something forbidden here
To prove his self among the men
Is what he dreams of again and again
With tears streaming down his cheeks
He charges faster, anger at its peak
He grabs a dead soldier's gun and fires
To kill an enemy is his only desire
But angry like a ravaging dogs bark
Suddenly, everything goes dark
As he falls to the ground and looks over at the others,
The Little drummer boy thinks only of. . .
. . .His mother. . .
*I'm a huge history nerd and one night in high school, this poem came to mind.

Kong winter resolve his power struggle to live a little longer
Cold soil protects wild modest tiny flowers
March deserve tribute by an dignified pen
A soothing voice whisper in dew wet morning sun
When Spring youthful glory revitalises
With blessed glow in brilliant charm
A soft mother breast for all to be born again
Nature pregnancies seeds of life
Spring unveiled with a colorful smile
We go brighter times ahead, wakes up from beauty sleep
Princess Spring I feel lucky and almighty

Through our faith and courage, our minds and our heart have engaged vigor.
Dynamism is diversification via structure.
What is seen is statement beyond repose via strategy.
As we discuss the militant way, we centralize our thoughts
To suffrage in other nations against dogmatic methods.
Systemically approached the right to vote interposed by
Illegality of the election booth intervened by
Bribes and other means to destroy equability.
What is seen is statement beyond repose via strategy.
Impartiality is an assured plus of unanimous.
Political leaders aboard focus on a suppressed nation
Through their views on enslavement and incapacitate.
For sure, this is the Stalin's views of the Ukraine orders retain.
To incarcerate through tenets of rapaciousness is cruel.
Therefore, what is seen is only a system of beliefs.
The Ukrainians must remain free to be at liberty.

I was born on March fourth, 1983.
But, I believe I was born, to march forth.
What I mean is, I was born to never give up.
To never quit.
To keep trying.
To walk my own path.
To keep going, no matter how dark my days get.
To continue on, no matter how bleak my outlook is.
To keep my head up, even when others look down on me.
I am tough, I am strong, I am a survivor.
I always was, and I always will be.
I will never stop reaching for my dream.
I will never stop going forward,
even when my shoes have worn out.
Even when my socks have torn to shreds,
even when my feet are broken and bleeding.
Because, I was born on March fourth.
To march forth.

The sun shines so bright in a cerulean sky,
As Christmas spirit comes in great surprise;
People now in all walks of life,
Happily enjoy the moment once in a lifetime.
Go shopping here, go shopping there,
They all buy things needed to cheer;
Everyone joins the spectacular parade,
With big floats and motorcades.
It is still July but Christmas is magic,
It comes on time when we least expect it;
Day and night, people are rejoicing,
Helping one another in all undertakings.
Still skeptical on what is really happening,
But colorful lanterns and ornaments are now seen,
Christmas lights even sparks in shimmering splendor,
Hang in houses, on window sills and doors.
In open houses have some special gifts,
For anyone who would wish to drop by for a pick;
Some are simple wrapped items,
And some are sweets or delicacies on plates.
Everyone keeps busy but doesn't go frantic,
Christmas in July is a real fantastic;
A special event which now lingers in the memory,
Because it is our Town's First City Anniversary!
Note: Our town turned to a city.

You held me for a moment
For just a moment it would seem
It seems like forever ago
Although I could never remember
Remember those warm-filled months
Between March and November
November was the end
The end and a new beginning
Beginning of a new season
A season such as Spring
As Spring would bring new life into the world
A world with unreasonable sin
A sin as lifeless as Autumn
(Autumn to some called Fall)
Fall, when he would fall
A fallen angel,
An angel gained
Or gaining a loss?
The loss of a day,
The loss of a life
A life that would end as the day turns to night
The night always dark
The dark calls for closed eyes
Eyes that await the promise of a sunrise
And so the sun would rise
But some still remain asleep
A deep sleep they will not wake
Wake me up from this dream
Dreams of an untold story
A story was cut short
Shortness of a heartbeat
A heart with no beat
Better count your blessings
Blessed life-long lessons
Not to lessen the longing
But I still belong to him
He smiles upon me all day all night
The night, I am used to days without light
A light grip, a solid hold
Hold me so that I don't fear no end
End this yearning, hold me for a moment again

Melting snows begin to fade
As a newborn season arrives,
Refreshing our lives grown dull.
Cradled in green budding leaves,
Hushed by the winds of spring.

I remember the days they were born
Both in March, cold and rainy yet we were warm
Me a new dad and my love a new mom
Not knowing what to expect, trying to be calm
Jarret was the first, it was March 25th
Time seemed to linger, our long wait was no myth
But when he decided to take his first look
We both cried at our miracle, as if from a book
It's the simple things, oh… the simple things
The next time we were old hands, but still a little scared
Wondering how it would turn out, our strength shared
The doctor and nurse seem to show no worry
When that heart monitor slowed down in a hurry
But then Anna came so quick on that March 29th
Our surprised little doc, still had her sweater on tight
It's the simple things, oh… yeah, the simple things
The years go by fast, as everyone says
Somehow you don't pay attention until, there it is
The first time he and I walked to our fishing hole
My buddy and me, him carrying his little pole
Jabbering away about the big one he'd catch
Me hanging on his every word, knowing this moment would be hard to match
It's the little things, man I mean the little things
She was a cute little bug, always holding a kitty, puppy or such
She with her happy heart, I love her so much
The first to make friends with whomever she met,
Her big brown doe eyes are hard to forget
The next thing I knew he's taller than me
With a voice as deep as the old man in the sea
His single word answers to questions left me craving more
It's tough on a loving dad, but I know the score
She sings, oh.. how she sings wherever she goes
Our happy heart may someday star in the show
Later I pick her up and hear how the game went
Just listening to her joy, me ever so content
It's the little things, those simple little things
I'm sitting in the car, waiting for school to abstain
'Cause I don't want him to have to walk home in the rain
He jumps in, looks at me and says, thanks pop
You know I love you, and that's non-stop
It's life's little things…just these little things
It's life's little things…just enjoy the little things..

Chapter 9: The Tragic End
Since a SEAL's strength is his ability to get in and out unseen, their cover was effectively blown and a decision had to be made.
What should they do about the goat herder? As the team leader, Murphy was forced to make a fateful decision.
If he were allowed to leave, the herder might tell insurgents in the area of their presence, putting their lives in jeopardy. Taking him prisoner would slow their movements and could bring others out to look for him. Aborting their mission would risk the lives of those who would have to come to extract them and possibly allow an important insurgent leader to go free.
Murphy made clear to the others that killing the shepherd, a noncombatant, to ensure his silence was not an option.
"You know what, we are not murderers," he told the three others SEALs. "We're not just going to kill someone."
They would spare the herder and take their chances.
While much of what transpired after the goat herder was allowed to go his way is not known, at about 2 p.m. the four SEALs found themselves all but surrounded by several dozen heavily armed Taliban fighters, whose familiarity with the rugged terrain allowed them to slip in unseen.
The Taliban knew the escape routes, and the paths the SEALs could use to flee the area. All they had to do was choke them off and pin the GIs down. The four Americans were trapped.
Trying to reach safety, the four men began fleeing down the mountain's steep sides, making leaps of 20 to 30 feet. Realizing they were trapped, Dietz, the communications guy, sought open air to place a distress call back to the base. But before he could, he was shot in the hand, the blast shattering his thumb.
Murphy, now desperate to make radio contact for help, then climbed out into the open, exposing himself to enemy gunfire. While making the call, he was hit, though not fatally, by at least one shot. But his words got through to Bagram Air Base.
"Hornets nest," Murphy yelled into the satellite phone.
Then he ran back down to help his three men.
An account written by a U.S. Marine captain and published by the on-line magazine DefenseWatch, said U.S. forces who received the distress call sent a Predator drone mounted with an infrared camera to locate the SEAL team. Images beamed back from the battlefield told commanders that the SEALs were now surrounded. Within minutes, an Army MH-47 helicopter carrying eight SEALs and eight Army commandos was aloft, flying toward the battle scene at 50 feet off the ground and upward of 150 miles per hour.
It was flanked by two attack helicopters, whose job it was to protect the chopper from ground fire. But the attack helicopters, burdened with the weight of armor and ammunition, and laboring in the thin air of the mountain altitudes, fell behind the troop carrier, making it vulnerable to enemy fire.
As the troop carrier approached where the SEALs were trapped, a rocket-propelled explosive fired from the ground slammed into the MH-47's side.
It is not known how many of the SEALs saw their rescuers' chopper explode and crash, killing all 16 aboard - including James Suh, 28, a SEAL from Florida who was Murphy's closest friend.
At some point, Luttrell found himself trapped, only to be saved when Murphy came to his rescue.
Luttrell has told the families of the other SEALs that an explosion blew him farther down the mountain and away from the fighting.
It was the last time he saw the others alive.
In the fighting, an official investigation found, Axelson, Dietz and Murphy suffered multiple gunshot wounds, plus blunt-force injuries incurred as they jumped and tumbled down the ravine. Dietz was hit 16 times, including gunshot wounds to both thighs and both shoulders, his chest, jaw and head. Axelson had been hit with gunfire at least 22 times, including one shot that struck the back of his head. Murphy was hit at least seven times: bullets pierced his arm, leg, abdomen, back and his face below his left eye.
As darkness fell, Luttrell, bleeding from several wounds and apparently unable to communicate with his command, hid from his pursuers. When the sun came up days later, an Afghan shepherd walked out of his mountain home after hearing a strange noise in the woods. He found Luttrell, wounded and scared, and after persuading him that he meant no harm, took him to his home to protect him from his pursuers.
Luttrell had now been saved twice. And, if it was the first herder who betrayed them, it was now a second herder who saved the sole survivor.
Armed gunmen, who videotaped themselves looting watches, weapons, boots and electronic equipment that they say were from the bodies of Axelson, Dietz and Murphy in a scene that was posted on YouTube - came to the village to demand custody of Luttrell. But following their own local code of ethics and tradition, which require villagers to offer sanctuary to anyone who is in danger, whether friend or enemy or stranger, the villagers told the gunmen they'd have to kill all the men in the village before they'd turn the American over.
They later smuggled a note written by Luttrell to U.S. troops stationed at Asadabad across the mountain range.
The tall Texan was now safe.
Within a few days, a Navy chaplain phoned Maureen Murphy in Patchogue to say her son was missing in Afghanistan. The next day, a SEAL who had once been Michael Murphy's commanding officer flew from San Diego to Long Island to wait with the family. He moved into a nearby motel.
Every day he would spend from morning to midnight at the Patchogue house, calling back to San Diego each night to see if there was word. On July 4th, at about 11 p.m., the officer went outside to make his nightly call. This one was different - it lasted much longer than his earlier calls. Inside, Daniel Murphy sensed something was very wrong.
"I saw him coming toward me and I said, 'Is everything okay?' " the father recalled. "He said, 'Mr. Murphy, I'm sorry.' "

Struggling Titans
Albert Haynesworth was emerging as a star defensive tackle when he suffered a right hamstring injury in Week 9. After losing three straight games without him, the Tennessee Titans are beginning to understand just how valuable Haynesworth had been.
The Titans hope to have Haynesworth back in the lineup to help their struggling defense as they try to climb back into the playoff picture by hosting the AFC South rival Houston Texans on Sunday.
Oddsmakers from Bodog have made Tennessee –3.5 point spread favorites (View NFL Football odds) for Sunday's game, the over/under has been set at 42.5 total points (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 54% of bets for this game have been placed on Houston +3.5 (View NFL Football bet percentages).
The Titans (6-5) won six of their first eight games with Haynesworth in the lineup. In those contests, they had one of the league's best defenses, allowing just 66.0 rushing yards per game and holding each of their opponents to less than 100 yards on the ground.
After recording a career-high three sacks against Carolina on Nov. 4, however, Haynesworth strained his right hamstring late in the fourth quarter of Tennessee's 20-7 victory.
Without him, the Titans have given up 160.0 rushing yards during their three-game skid, which has dropped Tennessee one game behind Cleveland for the AFC's final wild-card berth.
After holding opponents to 15.5 points over the first eight games, Tennessee has allowed 32.3 in its last three.
Haynesworth made it through most of practice Wednesday, but said he could still feel the hamstring problem.
"We're getting better, definitely getting better," he said. "It's just a day-by-day thing."
While Haynesworth's absence is a logical reason for the Titans' defensive struggles, Haynesworth thinks the team's skid has more to do with its mindset than its personnel.
"I think it's the attitude. You watch the first eight games, you know we had a lot of attitude. Now we're just out there to be out there," Haynesworth said. "We just need the attitude back, whatever it takes."
Tennessee suffered its largest margin of defeat in more than a year last Sunday, falling 35-6 at Cincinnati. The Titans gave up a season-high 426 yards, and the 35 points were one shy of the most they've allowed this season.
"It's not a scheme thing. It's more a technique thing," end Kyle Vanden Bosch said of the continued defensive struggles. "We're not tackling well. We're just getting beat in a lot of different areas. It's not one thing we have to fix. It's a number of things."
The Titans' defensive problems have been compounded by a sloppy and inconsistent offense. After running back LenDale White recorded the first three 100-yard rushing games of his career in three straight wins, he's been held to a total of 81 during the three-game slide.
Meanwhile, Vince Young has had three of the four highest passing yardage totals of his career during the losing streak, but he's thrown just two touchdowns and five interceptions in those games.
After Sunday's loss, Young remained alone on the bench for seven minutes, pondering what's gone wrong with his club.
"Thoughts, man, just thoughts, trying to see what's going on, what's the problem, what we need to do to get back to where we need to be at," said Young, who has been playing through a bruised thigh and a strained ankle.
"Why is this all of a sudden happening to us, going back to that bad feeling that we had last year with getting our butt whooped."
The Titans, who moved from Houston before the 1997 season, will try to snap out of their funk against the Texans (5-6), who are hoping to get to .500 this late in a season for the first time in franchise history.
Houston is one win shy of its total from last season, and two away from matching the franchise record of seven, which it reached in 2004.
The Texans, though, blew a chance to get their sixth victory last week, when they lost 27-17 at Cleveland.
Houston couldn't take advantage of one of the league's worst defenses, compiling 314 yards - its lowest total since netting 254 in a loss against Indianapolis Sept. 23 - against a Cleveland team that allows a league-worst 397.9 per game.
"We put ourselves in a tough situation," said Matt Schaub, who threw two interceptions as the Texans committed three turnovers to give them a league-high 29. "The turnovers really hurt us. That's been our Achilles' heel all season. We just didn't make the plays. I threw a couple of interceptions and we didn't move the ball."
The Texans committed a season-high six turnovers to lose at home 38-36 in their first meeting with the Titans this season. Despite the giveaways, Houston scored more points against Tennessee than any other team this season.
However, the Titans played that game without Young, a Houston native, who was sidelined by a quadriceps strain. They hope having him Sunday can help them avoid another close call.
"We're at a point right now where we have to improve," coach Jeff Fisher said. "We have to be able to put this, whatever it is, behind us and go out and score points, have fun and enjoy the game, make plays and find a way to win."
The Titans have won nine of 11 against the Texans, including five straight. Each of their last four wins, though, have been decided by six points or fewer.

The Hunger Games is a tale of children forced to grow up quickly when thrust into a violent game of life and death. Which is dramatic, compelling and utterly fascinating, but also nothing like any teenagers we've ever heard of. Why aren't they taking a time-out from a brutal fistfight to update their relationship status, or hiding under a rock to make the next move in Words With Friends? This is how we picture it. Be warned, it's full of SPOILERS — but if you were a real fan you would've seen the movie last night anyway. (By Chase Mitchell)

WASHINGTON {AP} The Navy offered a "pretty good solution" with its plan to end training on Puerto Rico's Vieques Island, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday. He did not think the decision would jeopardize the continued use of other sites where residents oppose the U.S. military presence.
Powell acknowledged criticism of President Bush's announcement last week that United States would stop bombing and other exercises by May 2003.
Republicans in Congress fear it could affect military readiness and endanger lives, and possibly set a precedent because there are other places where there is local opposition to the U.S. military presence.
Protesters and their supporters on Capitol Hill say the withdrawal does not come soon enough.
"You can get every point of view out of the Congress on this subject. Those who say, 'Do it right away, stop firing right away.' Those who say, 'No, don't do it until you have a solution,"' Powell said on ABC's "This Week."
"I'm hopeful the secretary of the Navy will have an exciting time this week as he tries to bridge these differences," Powell said.
Navy Secretary Gordon England said last week that sailors and Marines may have to use multiple training sites and change the way they do some exercises in order to make up for the loss of training on Vieques, which he called a "crown jewel" of the Navy's Atlantic training sites.
England said the Pentagon is actively looking for a place or places where the Navy can do the bombing and other exercises that it has done for 60 years on Vieques. He also is creating a panel of experts to "reinvigorate" the effort.
"I think the secretary of the Navy has come up with a pretty good solution. ... Vieques has been used to get our troops ready to go in harm's way, going into combat. And so that's what has made it so valuable," Powell said.
"But it also has been a source of enormous irritation to the people of Puerto Rico and Vieques."
The president's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, denied accusations that the announcement was motivated by a desire to please Hispanics, an important voting bloc. "This is not an issue of politics," Rice said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "This is an issue of how best to train."
The Navy has long said Vieques is the only place in the Atlantic suited to combining land, air and sea maneuvers.
"I don't think it sets a precedent," Powell said on "Fox News Sunday." "Vieques was a very unique situation, and I think the way the secretary of the Navy has handled it ... is a very correct way of going about this problem.
"I think it was a combination of issues that came together to resolve this contentious Vieques problem that's been there for years," he said.
But the Senate's top Republican, Trent Lott of Mississippi, said that "just because people may be opposed to it in an area should not be the determining factor" in a decision.
"Certainly that would be a dangerous precedent if that's the one that we're going to have," he said on CNN's "Late Edition."

This year was a good year for horseshoe crabs. The weather was cooperative and the restrictions on horseshoe crab harvesting on the east coast the past few years has helped the repopulation of the species.
This is why you are seeing more horseshoe crabs stranded on the beach than in previous years. Most do not wash up on the beach, but come ashore to spawn and the waves turn them over stranding them on the beach making them vulnerable to predators. (shore birds, raccoons etc.)
Horseshoe crabs lay their eggs between the high and low tide marks. This helps to keep the eggs moist until they hatch. The shore birds you see feasting on the beach are most likely eating the eggs although shorebirds will sometimes be seen feasting on the overturned horseshoe crabs too.
Turning over horseshoe crabs and helping them back into the water, while in the big picture won't make much of a difference, to the individual horseshoe crab it could mean the difference between life and death. While some of them would probably be able right themselves and get back to the water when the tide comes in, many could die from dehydration and predators before that happens. If it makes you feel better, by all means help them. I always try to help an animal in distress as long as it's safe and feasible.

Visiting Israel
In last week's The Jewish Week, Julie Wiener wrote about a "mini-trend" we first reported on earlier this year: the emergence of trips to Israel geared towards interfaith families.
Wiener addresses the trips through the lens of personal experience. When she was fresh out of college, she spent a year interning at a Jewish non-profit. Toward the end of her year there, her non-Jewish boyfriend Joe visited her:
She writes about two interfaith trips to Israel, one run by the Interfaith Connection of San Francisco (which begins Wednesday), the other by Mitch Cohen of Atlanta, who ran a previous "Israel Encounter" trip for recent converts last year. As Melissa Rudin Russell wrote for us in January, these trips tap into a need identified by Steven M. Cohen's and Ari Y. Kelman's 2007 study, "Beyond Distancing: Young American Jews and Their Alienation from Israel" (although it should be noted its methodology and conclusions are disputed by Leonard Saxe's, Charles Kadushin's and Theodore Sasson's study "American Jewish Attachment to Israel: An Assessment of the "Distancing" Hypothesis"). Whether you agree with the notion that young Jewish adults, especially those from interfaith families, feel remote from Israel, you can't dispute that trips to Israel help strengthen people's bonds to the country.
But Robin Margolis, coordinator of the Half-Jewish Network, wonders whether that is a good thing. Disgusted by Israel's treatment of interfaith families, Margolis is wary of such trips. Wiener writes, "Not telling interfaith couples about this from the get-go sets them up for later disenchantment when they do learn the truth, Margolis says." Margolis talks of Israel's "elaborate and entrenched system of discrimination against members of interfaith families"–tough words, but not in the least bit hyperbolic.
I personally see more value than vice in interfaith families taking trips to Israel–if only so the non-Jewish partner can begin to understand Jews' complicated, highly emotional relationship with Israel. As Wiener says:
Note: All comments on InterfaithFamily are moderated. Any comment that is offensive or inappropriate will be removed.

This one is for my bro-in-law. I figure he doesn't read this site so he won't see it, but I know my sis-in-law does read this. (So A, if you see this, don't let him peer over your shoulder!! LOL Oh and that's the celtic knot book for your mom in the background there. At least, the case for it. )
He's an artist that's into western stuff right now, and he liked the scrapbook albums I made earlier in the year, so I searched forever for a country/western album with a neat label and just failed horribly.
I DID find a seventies disco single on white vinyl for two bucks, though, so eventually as the holiday loomed closer I gave up and scraped that label off and faked it up from there. I think "Fake it with glue" is my motto for this year's holiday gift giving, but ANYWAY...
Here's the cover.
The binding is on the "wrong" side on purpose - the intention is to make left-handed sketching easier. The paper inside is "his" brand of sketching paper, cut down to size. 100 leaves, each is 8x8.
I did find albums with good westerny cover art, so one of those became the back cover:
And another became the box that holds the completed book
I put some westerny paper on the inside of the box
The inside of the back cover has the same 'bandanna' paper that the record "label" has
Binding is coptic stitch, linen thread. In retrospect I probably didn't need to bind it "lefty" style since that type of binding flops open flat so well, but ah well. He can decide the dude on the horse is the front if he prefers it that way. It's reversible!! LOL

HTC has officially launched today the first fruit of its recently inked "strategic partnership" with Beats Electronics–the HTC Sensation XE.
Formerly codenamed the HTC Sensation Special Edition, the HTC Sensation XE will reach European, Middle Eastern, African, and Asia Pacific markets in late September.
The handset is expected to cost about EUR590 (about US$806). No word has been given yet regarding release in the U.S. and Canada.
The HTC Sensation XE is the first–and definitely not the last–HTC Android handset to come equipped with Beats Audio technology for "studio quality" sound experience.
Pretty much everything else in the original HTC Sensation is still in place in the refreshed model, except for the faster clock speed (1.5 GHz against the 1.2 GHz of the older model) of its dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 processor, Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, total internal storage of 4 gigabytes (up to 1 GB available for use), and a 1730-mAh Li-ion battery pack (compared to the 1520-mAh battery of the earlier Sensation).
Owing to the bigger battery capacity, the HTC Sensation XE has also acquired additional 3 grams of weight, although no changes in the height, width, or depth of the device have been noted.
The HTC Sensation XE will also ship with a microSD card (8 GB or 16 GB) and in-ear Beats by Dr. Dre headphones featuring a remote control.
Jason Mackenzie, HTC head for global sales and marketing, said in a press statement that the HTC Sensation XE proves HTC's "commitment to place consumers at the center of their mobile worlds" by "pushing the audio boundaries to encompass not only improved voice but music, movies and games."
As cool as the sound of the HTC Sensation XE might be, it is also as beautiful physically with an aluminum unibody highlighted with hints of red.
As in the original HTC Sensation, the Beats-enabled model still comes with a 4.3-inch qHD touchscreen, an 8-megapixel primary camera, a VGA secondary camera, and 768 MB of RAM.
Anyone interested in a better-performing and better-sounding model of the HTC Sensation?

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I used a leotard for the base and altered elbow length gloves, but the hip roll and everything green or pink was made by me. This skirt/hip roll and collar are detachable, so I can reuse it if I ever decide to be a different Sailor Scout. However, because the skirt droops in back, I think I might attach the skirt to the leotard in the future. Also, I used stuffing on the hip roll and shoulder rolls, which turned out a bit lumpy, so I plan on remaking them with quilt batting.
The tiara, earrings, and heart broach were made by a friend who is currently majoring in jewelry and metals. The tiara is real metal bent in the shape of my forehead, and it's held in place by hair combs (welded to the tiara) and spirit gum for extra support.

Churches step in to fill affordable housing gap
The Church in Wales is supporting a project aimed at making spare church space available for housing.
The Faith in Affordable Housing project aims to address the nation's housing crisis by converting unused church property or land into homes.
The project is run by Christian charity Housing Justice and is looking to appoint its first project officer to work with Welsh churches.
The project officer will be responsible for identifying suitable space in rural as well as urban areas, with the aim of bridging the gap between churches and housing associations.
The project will provide support in the selling or leasing of closed churches and glebe land, as well as church halls and vicarages which are no longer used.
Alex Glanville, head of property services at the Church in Wales and a member of the project's steering group said, "This is an exciting project which could benefit people in desperate need of housing.
"It will also help churches free up land or space they don't use and enable them to invest more in the community."
Tracey Bessant, Project Coordinator for Faith in Affordable housing, said, "The new officer will work with churches to look imaginatively at how land and buildings could be used for the future and facilitate partnership working between the church and charitable sector to deliver much needed affordable housing."

Well Being
The Very Brief Life Of A Condom
The life of a condom may be brief, but it is noble.
Humble beginnings: In order for condoms to grow up stable, flexible and strong, latex is treated with chemicals and then prevulcanised (heated). According to Durex, the chemical reactions that occur during this process react with the latex's rubber content to make it "stronger, more reliable and [to] give it low allergenic potential." After another round of testing, the potential condoms move onto their next step to becoming useful or whatever.
The latex is transferred into a temperature-controlled storage tank. Glass molds (or "formers") are then dipped into the latex, rotated the former is coated evenly, then dried and then dipped again. The formers are sent through an oven to vulcanize the rubber and ensure the condoms are strong and elastic. After the necessary chemical reactions are complete, the latex is removed from the glass formers as condoms and then dried and powdered. I wonder how similar the process is to the creation of dentist's latex gloves, which are also weirdly powdered.
Condoms are then electronically tested using stainless steel shafts called mandrels. Mandrels look just like metal penises minus the urethra, veins and other organic penis accoutrements. Electronic testing checks for holes and other potentially compromising defects. The condoms that make it past the electronic testing are then sent to be packaged.
In order to individually wrap condoms, they are placed between two foil webs that are then heat sealed together. The condoms are then injected with flavorings, lubricants and what have you and neatly sealed between the foils which are then stamped with batch number and expiration date. The condoms are not quite ready to be shipped out to retailers; there's more testing to be done to ensure they're ready for business.
There are so many tests to ensure you're safety. For instance, strong hands man handle them during manual inspection by humans. Air is injected in them during the air inflation test in order to assess their resilience against bursting and elasticity–in order to meet standards, condoms must hold at least 18 liters of air. Tensile tests assess how stretchy they are, which is good if you have a huge penis. They sure are tested a lot…for uniformity, lubricant quality, some are even artificially aged to see how the product holds up at the end of the projected 5 year lifespan. You don't get the results condoms deliver without diligent testing and stringent standards. If a batch of rubbers fail even one test, the whole lot is disposed of because they are unsafe and useless. Once the condoms are guaranteed to be in good shape, they are ready to be shipped out.
The flawless batches of good condoms are then packed into branded boxes and dispatched to distributors where they can be shoplifted by hooligans or purchased by responsible types. From there they will either live in a drawer or wallet (where they will deteriorate) or they will be responsibly unwrapped, rolled onto a D or vibrator, inserted into a butt, mouth or vagina, filled with semen (or not) and then knotted up and given a proper burial in a trashcan. RIP condom, thanks for keeping us safe.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Fistula Foundation, San Jose, CA, USA
I saw a documentary on UK TV many years ago and was left with the memory of one woman who had spent something like a year begging at the roadside to get enough money (about a £1) to get to the fistula clinic where the problem that had ruined her life could be fixed in a short, simple operation. I had never heard of the condition and was horrified at the many complications it caused. Some years later, in 2006, I was looking for a new charity to support, remembered the programme and the name of the condition and found the Fistula Foundation online. I liked its approach of using volunteers, including doctors giving up their holiday time to go out to Africa and help, so that the all/most of the donated money could be used to help women rather than pay fat salaries and chuggers. I particularly liked their approach of helping the women to get back to a life, not just fixing the physical problem. Since starting to donate the FF has kept me updated from time to time (but not too often!) and I have enjoyed hearing about their success. The FF is a very dedicated group of people that have made a difference in a field that is not as 'glamorous' as the better publicised charities. I am pleased I can at least offer my financial support to people who identified this problem and chose to forego a comfortable lifestyle to stay and help.

need help flying my piper cub
i keep crashing! on the simulator i am AWESOME! but every time i go fly my dynam j3 piper cub we (my dad and me) we cant get if of the ground so we hand launch it and the first time it nosedived and "flew" not even 10 feet. the second time I hand launched and I got it in the air but after about 10 seconds it turned around and went right at me and hit me in the shoulder.
Does anybody have any tips to help fly or how to launch it off the ground so I don't have to hand launch every time.
One trick I have seen is to stretch out a plastic tarp on the ground so you have a smooth, flat surface to take off from. You have to pull it tight and stake the edges down.
Also, double check the c.g. Should balance something like 1/4 to 1/3 back on the wing. Make sure the controls don't move too much. On many planes you can get by with about 10 degrees up and down elevator, or less, and maybe 20 degrees on the rudder. Try to make small control movements, and don't let the nose point too high.
I don't know if this particular plane is any good.
Lots of times problems that seem very tough to you can be solved easily if you can find an experienced instructor.
There are two opposing opinions:rise off ground, you have a little more time.Hand launch, you have a little more air time,as it is already in the air. I favour hand launch.Hand launch does NOT need a run-up, just a push at approx flying speed, level or slightly downwards so speed can build up.Full throttle to get it away.As a beginner to real flying, the cards are stacked against you.Even if the CG is perfect (checked?), it will need to be trimmed for S&L once you are clear of the ground.Learning to fly a rc plane is a LOT like learning to ride a bike - once you can fly, you could take an ill-trimmed tail-heavy BITCH up and get back down in one piece, but as a newbie, even a perfectly-set up plane can give you all sorts of problems.But that is one of the joys of our hobby, if it was as easy as PC games, we would not work at it.You will get it right, you may have to do some repairs, but once you have taken it up and landed in one piece the first time, it is GREAT!
Where are you based?

fwiw--I'm an old newbie---was in the hobby 20 yrs ago. First time I tried to fly a 40 sized trainer I couldn't get it off the ground. Second attempt (same day) I tried hand launching. Went 10' and flew into the ground. After gathering up the pieces I examined my radio and model. When giving up elevator I realized the elevator was going down! When I had stood behind the model and pulled back on the stick I saw the elevator surface go down which in my own feeble mind seemed correct since I was pulling back(down) on the stick.
First mistake above? I was trying to learn by myself. I won't make that mistake again.
I have recently started flying again after taking ~18 year break. The first and smartest thing I did was purchase a good flight simulator program (RealFlight 6). Like you, after a while (~20 hours) I was able to fly perfect on the simulator. What I have noticed is the flight simulator program DOES NOT simulate take-offs very well. The simulator allows you to nail it and your off the ground within a few inches. While in the real world you have wind, grass, friction, drag and most importantly - NO RED RESET BUTTON.
Learning how to maintain control of your plane while on the ground with the left/rudder stick and keeping it straight while ramping up to take off speed is critical. Practice maneuvering your plane on the ground at different speeds. When youre comfortable with that graduate to doing bunny hops; but remember to always zero the throttle if you think youre getting into trouble. It minimizes damage to your plane.
Where are you located?
As much as a good sim WILL help you to get the basics of RC flying down. It is no substitution for the real thing. There are too many variables as others have stated.
My best advice would be to seek out someone with some experience. I would look for a flying club in your area for starters. If you don't have one, then try going to your local hobby store. You'd be surprised how helpful they can be.
Maybe it's set up okay, let it climb out with power and stay off the elevator as it sounds like you may have over controlled with the elevator. Patience may be needed as throttle/power will make it climb without forcing it up with elevator.
Let us know how it goes with these tips.

Good luck!
Please note that my suggestions above are not based on all the facts that you know. You mentioned that it flew for a few feet ... you were there and if you feel it was coming out straight/level and not veering, then all is good laterally.
If that is the case, and it comes out nice, altitude and power should be your focus for your next game plan. I'm not an expert but we can teach ourselves if we treat crashes as a learning experience. Wish they would invent a black box for rc Watch carefully what happens during takeoff. I've gone through a lot of glue learning what to watch for and there are pilots where I fly that can get near anything in the air ... first time. They blow me away
I've had a lot of students that use a simulator say that on the "real " thing it is a LOT more sensitive. You have to have a light touch and use very little stick movement on most planes.
Think of it this way: do you have a wife or a pet ? They don't like to be slapped around, your plane doesn't either and both will bite ya good if ya do it.
Another point : Most people try to use to much power to quick. On your hand launch try just putting about 2/3 throttle on and a smooth toss instead of a hard throw. You don't want a rocket type take off, it's not real and not easy to handle.
As far as a ground launch ( ROG ). With most tail draggers people over control and use to much power right off and that just gets them in trouble. Try slowing down and just controling the plane on the ground till you can get it going a little faster a bit at a time. In most cases, full power will just keep you in trouble. ENJOY !!! RED
