100 lengths in 90 minutes in case you were wondering.
Can't believe I managed it but I did, I had great support and encouragement from everyone, but please there is just one last thing to do, let's reach the £500 target for Tony.
Thank you to all of you who have given.
On 17th January 2010 a much loved husband, father, grandad and friend sadly passed away.
Tony Hughes was a kind and funny man who every month gave to children's charities. In April Tony would have celebrated his 68th birthday.
Tony was father to my son in law, Carl and a very missed grandad to my grandson George. Tony had requested donations to Childline in lieu of flowers at his funeral.
With this in mind I would like to do a sponsored swim on his birthday, 27 April in memory of him and raise an amount for his chosen charity that would make him proud.
I aim to swim 100 lengths (over 1.5 miles) breaststroke in 90 minutes. My challenge will be confirmed by a leisure centre member of staff.
Please donate generously. Not only for such a great cause but for a wonderful man.
May I take this opportunity to thank you in helping me reach my target.

The 1950s Elvis's Cadillacs
Click on the thumbnails to view in full size.
Elvis bought the 1955 Fleetwood Limousine in the background of this picture just before going on a tour in it in March 1956. This picture was taken (probably) in May of 1956 at the house on Audubon Drive. They had obviously either just returned from a tour or were leaving on tour that day, since the instruments were stowed on the roof rack. Originally light blue, he had it painted black in mid to late summer of 1956. See a picture of Elvis standing at the rear door of the 1955 Cadillac touring limo, probably around the same time as the thumbnail picture (note the canvass slap-bass protective cover is laying on the rack, empty. The band was probably taking a break out by the car to get some air in the middle of a gig.)
On an interesting side note, when Elvis purchased this car, used, in Jan 1956, he had to have the loan for $5,000 co-signed by his father, Vernon Presley. He may have died quite wealthy and famous, but he had to start out with a
co-signer, just like the rest of us!!!
In the spring of 1957, Elvis moved to Graceland, and this vehicle was used to stock the grounds. One time it was used to haul fowl - chickens, ducks, guineas, peacocks and a turkey back to Graceland. The car had so much shit in it that even after he sent it to the Cadillac dealer to be cleaned and fumigated, it was never the same. Elvis told his Daddy it was time to buy a new car. That's when he bought a 1957 black Cadillac Limousine.
Later, this Cadillac was on display at the Elvis Presley Museum during the 1990s. Kruse International had it listed as lot No. 3329 for sale at Auburn Fall '99 auction, September 1-7. This vehicle however was not actually at the auction. It was then permanently exhibited at an Elvis Museum in Las Vegas called Elvis-A-Rama that was there from 1999 to 2006.
RM Auctions sold this vehicle at Monterey on August 18 2007. Expecting to fetch $100,000 - $150,000 it realised $275,000! RM Auctions stated:
"Elvis Presley himself purchased chassis no. 557547481. The Cadillac was originally painted in a light blue, but Elvis quickly had it repainted a more appropriate black. Elvis used it to tour throughout the south with his original band members, Scotty Moore, Bill Black and D.J. Fontana. Reportedly, Elvis and his band would strap their instruments to the roof of the car and drive through the night to make it to the next town where they were going to perform.
There is absolutely no question as to the documentation of the sale of the Cadillac Fleetwood to the illustrious Elvis Presley. There are several photos of Elvis with the vehicle, one outside his home in the summer of 1956, as well as another outside the CBS Studios in Los Angeles moments before his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Also included are the original conditional sales contract and the original 1955 Cadillac Owner's Manual stating, "Elvis Presley 1034 Audobon Ave. Memphis, Tenn.;" which, it should be noted, is handwritten on the inside back cover".
Update: Bonham's auction in California 12th November 2011: "Currently owned by a prominent Texas collector, this piece of Memphis-by-way-of-Detroit history comes with the original conditional sales contract from Southern Motors of Memphis that was co-signed by Elvis' father, Vernon Presley. Also included is the original owner's manual
with Elvis' signature on the back cover, plus one spare tire, lug wrench, and jack. The only thing that seems to be missing is a set of blue suede shoes."
Pre-sale estimates had the Fleetwood selling somewhere between $100,000 and $150,000, however the new owner paid US$172,000 for the car, including the Buyer's Premium."

Sends part of a long, variable-length data type value to SQL Server.
This function can be used in conjunction with bcp_bind and bcp_sendrow to copy long, variable-length data values to SQL Server in a number of smaller chunks. bcp_moretext can be used with columns that have SQL Server data types enumerated with SQLTEXT, SQLNTEXT, SQLIMAGE, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), user-defined type (UDT), and XML. bcp_moretext does not support data conversions, the data supplied must match the data type of the target column.
If bcp_bind is called with a nonNULL pData parameter for data types that are supported by bcp_moretext, bcp_sendrow sends the entire data value, regardless of length. If, however, bcp_bind has a NULL pData parameter for supported data types, bcp_moretext can be used to copy data immediately after a successful return from bcp_sendrow indicating that any bound columns with data present have been processed.
If you use bcp_moretext to send one supported data type column in a row, you must also use it to send all other supported data type columns in the row. No columns may be skipped. Supported data types are SQLTEXT, SQLNTEXT, SQLIMAGE, SQLUDT and SQLXML. SQLCHARACTER, SQLVARCHAR, SQNCHAR, SQLBINARY and SQLVARBINARY also fall into this category if the column is a varchar(max), nvarchar(max) or varbinary(max), respectively.
Calling either bcp_bind or bcp_collen sets the total length of all data parts to be copied to the SQL Server column. An attempt to send SQL Server more bytes than specified in the call to bcp_bind or bcp_collen generates an error. This error would arise, for example, in an application which used bcp_collen to set the length of available data for an SQL Server text column to 4500, then called bcp_moretext five times while indicating on each call that the data buffer length was 1000 bytes long.
If a copied row contains more than one long, variable-length column, bcp_moretext first sends its data to the lowest ordinally numbered column, followed by the next lowest ordinally numbered column, and so on. Correct setting of the total length of expected data is important. There is no way to signal, outside of the length setting, that all data for a column has been received by bulk copy.
An application normally calls bcp_sendrow and bcp_moretext within loops to send a number of rows of data. Here's an outline of how to do this for a table containing two text columns:
while (there are still rows to send) { bcp_collen(..., total length of data for first text column, first text column's ordinal position); bcp_collen(..., total length of data for second text column, second text column's ordinal position); bcp_sendrow(...); for (all the data in the first text column) bcp_moretext(...); for (all the data in the second text column) bcp_moretext(...); }
This example shows how to use bcp_moretext with bcp_bind and bcp_sendrow:
// Variables like henv not specified. HDBC hdbc; DBINT idRow = 5; char* pPart1 = "This text value isn't very long,"; char* pPart2 = " but it's broken into three parts"; char* pPart3 = " anyhow."; DBINT cbAllParts; DBINT nRowsProcessed; // Application initiation, get an ODBC environment handle, allocate the // hdbc, and so on. ... // Enable bulk copy prior to connecting on allocated hdbc. SQLSetConnectAttr(hdbc, SQL_COPT_SS_BCP, (SQLPOINTER) SQL_BCP_ON, SQL_IS_INTEGER); // Connect to the data source, return on error. if (!SQL_SUCCEEDED(SQLConnect(hdbc, _T("myDSN"), SQL_NTS, _T("myUser"), SQL_NTS, _T("myPwd"), SQL_NTS))) { // Raise error and return. return; } // Initialize bulk copy. if (bcp_init(hdbc, "comdb..articles", NULL, NULL, DB_IN) == FAIL) { // Raise error and return. return; } // Bind program variables to table columns. if (bcp_bind(hdbc, (LPCBYTE) &idRow, 0, SQL_VARLEN_DATA, NULL, 0, SQLINT4, 1) == FAIL) { // Raise error and return. return; } cbAllParts = (DBINT) (strlen(pPart1) + strlen(pPart2) + strlen(pPart3)); if (bcp_bind(hdbc, NULL, 0, cbAllParts, NULL, 0, SQLTEXT, 2) == FAIL) { // Raise error and return. return; } // Send this row, with the text value broken into three chunks. if (bcp_sendrow(hdbc) == FAIL) { // Raise error and return. return; } if (bcp_moretext(hdbc, (DBINT) strlen(pPart1), pPart1) == FAIL) { // Raise error and return. return; } if (bcp_moretext(hdbc, (DBINT) strlen(pPart2), pPart2) == FAIL) { // Raise error and return. return; } if (bcp_moretext(hdbc, (DBINT) strlen(pPart3), pPart3) == FAIL) { // Raise error and return. return; } // All done. Get the number of rows processed (should be one). nRowsProcessed = bcp_done(hdbc); // Carry on.

Some Days....
How is your Friday going? I've had to stop looking at all social and news networks because between the anniversary of 9/11 and the Syrian refugees, I started my day crying.
Sadness turned into aggravation when I went to the school this morning. I had a PTO meeting scheduled, the first one of the year. Usually those meetings are jam packed with all the parents that want to help and by the 3rd meeting, it goes back down to the same handful of parents who help every year. Today was the exception. We had 9 people show up. I think the issues with the new principal have gotten around and nobody wants to be bothered with him. His actions are borderline fraud, but he's feigned innocence which has kept him out of trouble. Lets just say he's not supportive of the PTO and would prefer if we didnt exist. He's gone as far as to say most middle schools dont have a PTO, it would be fine with him if the current PTO dissolved. It wasn't pretty. It's my last year here, yet somehow I became the Treasurer.
Regardless of the huge stain on my carpet or the possibility that my power strip wont work, I still had a productive day. Meetings attended. Orders placed. Groceries bought and put away. A feeling of accomplishment has kicked in AND I'm smiling as I read this; it's been such a ridiculous start to the day and it's not even 4pm yet!! And I've run the gamut of emotions. At least I've landed on happy!!
Now that THAT is off my chest, lets look at some sweater progress, shall we?
I am *this close* to finishing the back. Another 4" of arm space then I start the neck decreases. I have to pay attention at this point which is why my pace has slowed down. I'm worried for when I start the front since the first few stitches involve a cable pattern. This means I REALLY need to pay attention if I want to avoid the frog pond. Not a vacation spot I want to visit.

When you have all those sweet kitties to help cheer you up, you can't HELP but be happy.
Hope the power strip survives.
Yay on the sweater .......onward!
- kathy b said...
Ugh oh. spills are the worst. My youngest two kitties and crazy tonight. We were gone much of the day at the Wisconsin Sheep and wool festival and they are making up for the lack of attention
- Sandra Knapp said...
I'm so glad, that after all of the frustrations, you day still ended with a smile. As for that sweater, my hat is off to you. I can't work with dark yarns anymore because I just can see well enough when using them. When I saw that sweater back, the first thing that came to mind was, "How does she see the stitches?"
LOL Congratulations! It's looking great.

Love the kitty pics Lynn. Glad your day improved.

Now for my interview with Helen Hollick:
1. How did you get your start in writing?
I have always loved reading and it seemed natural to write as well. I desperately wanted a pony of my own when I was thirteen, but my parents could not afford one – so I made one up and wrote myself a pony instead.
2. What inspired you to write about King Arthur?
While working in the library I re-discovered Rosemary Sutcliff's wonderful novels set in Roman Britain – Eagle of the Ninth, Frontier Wolf, Mark of the Horse Lord etc, and then Mary Stewart's Hollow Hills Trilogy, and thus I discovered Arthur.
3. How long did it take you to do the research for The Kingmaking? To write the book?
About ten years!
5. What is one of your favourite books/authors?
I have mentioned a few above, but if I could only have one book I would choose Rosemary Sutcliff. Her novels were written for teenagers but she writes so beautifully, I find them inspiring. I would select Mark of the Horse Lord. I cry at the end of every reading. I never tire of the story, which is about an ex-Roman gladiator's utter desolation and extreme courage.
Inside my copy I have a special treasure – a handwritten letter from Rosemary.
6. Where do you do most of your writing and what is your routine?
I write in my 'office' – well the spare bedroom really, but office sounds grander. We moved into this house just over three years ago (after the fire made a bit of a mess of our previous place). Although this new home was supposed to be only temporary we decided to stay here as it is lighter, airier and in a quieter area.
My desk is beside a window which looks out onto a small patio and our fish pond. There are lots of trees which screen the neighbouring houses, and at night it almost seems if we are in the middle of the countryside – although actually we live on the outskirts of a sprawling London Borough.
I do not have a routine, although I tend to do my "office" work – answering e-mails and maintaining my several Myspace sites, when I first get up – usually I sit here in my nightwear and dressing gown. Then I shower, have breakfast at about 10.30, do the household chores, the laundry, shopping, vacuuming etc, have lunch and then turn my attention to my writing.
If I can't think of a word to write I tend to sit and fiddle (Scrabble on the computer is most distracting!) but if I am in full swing, I will often write into the early hours of the morning – which means I am not an early riser.
7. Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
Write what is in your heart. Spelling, punctuation, grammar can all be put right in the re-write stage. Get your ideas down, do not let those characters who have been talking to you for months moulder to nothing in your mind!
I have a useful article on my website entitled "Discovering the Diamond" your readers are more than welcome to make use of anything they find interesting. Go to: http://www.helenhollick.net/culpa41.html
Please note however, I mention "cowboy" self publishers. In the UK this means a shady company up to no good, but someone has pointed out that in the USA 'cowboy' means the opposite. I find the differences of expressions between the UK and USA so fascinating!
8. Is there a question that you would have liked to have had on this book tour that was not asked?
I was doing a talk at a local school once to children aged about seven years old. I was asked some really good questions, but one little lad was obviously a bit bored. He stuck his hand up and said, "I've got a dog. Have you got any pets?"
(For the record, I have two cats, Scrabble and Kitty and a dog, Rum. My daughter, who still lives at home even though she is now 27, has a hamster, a pony and two horses. The last three, I hasten to add are at livery at a local stable yard – they are not in my back garden! My husband keeps racing pigeons – oh and there is a variety of beautiful fish in the pond.) I have not been asked about the book covers, which surprises me. (To date that is – I have a few more stops to make on my blog tour).
The original cover for the first edition of The Kingmaking published by William Heinemann was superb. Painted by UK historical artist Chris Collingwood, it had detail that was breathtaking. Sadly, the publishers decided it was not suitable for the smaller paperback edition or for the Book Clubs. I was told that the Clubs preferred a woman on the cover (what nonsense!) so they commissioned a different artist. This new design was dreadful. It had a purplish-blue background and everything that could be historically inaccurate was there. The woman (Gwenhwyfar) looked as if her legs were deformed and she was holding a bunch of flowers.
Now my Gwenhwyfar is a feisty lass, the sort of girl who owns a sword – and knows how to use it. I called that cover "the purple puke."
The mock-up cover for the second in the series was just as awful. It was supposed to be a view of Somerset. The last time I went to Somerset I found it to be distinctly flat. The name Somerset literally means "Summer Land". In the Dark Ages in winter the entire area would be flooded. The only high ground being the famous Glastonbury Tor.
I returned the idea for that cover to the publishers with a note stating words to the effect of: "A very nice picture but I was unaware they had mountains in Somerset. This cover would be ideal for a book about the Highlands of Scotland, but not one supposedly depicting the Somerset flood plain."
The cover for this Sourcebooks edition is wonderful!
I would like to thank Helen for this, my first author interview!

A Splash in the Wild
I love horses. They represent power of free spirit in nature. I have tried my hand at two situations:
i. a herd of wild galloping horses coming up suddenly on a desert oasis.
ii. a pair of Egyptian desert dancers, all spruced up, on way to a cairo club to entertain clients.
Note on Materials : Acrylic on canvas, with a textured background on a handmade dotted surface.

Cosmic Play
Cosmic Play
The world is a stage and we are all actors. We play our part and depart, says a wise man. Some call it 'fate' and others, 'destiny'. In my case, I'm comfortable with both!
Call me 'Destiny's Child?'
Here, in these two art works, I have two characters, actors, if you will. As in most of my work, the female dominates the stage, so I've put her in the forefront, while the male lurks in the background, a bit player, partly an observer.
Other creatures of the earth fill the void, may it be the dusky dawn or a dusty sunset.
Note on Materials: Two different canvases are related. Oils used in the dusty sunset and acrylics are used in the dusky dawn, in order to distinguish the styles.

The Glory of the Yesteryears - Marionette Puppetry
Glory of Marionette Puppetry
Puppetry is an ancient form of performance. A marionette is a puppet controlled from above using wires or strings.
Puppets have the power to appeal and attract the people of all age groups. The soft puppets are made with cloth and manipulated with hand and fingers. One needs deft fingers for movements, and a ventriloquist's voice to simulate speech.
Puppets have the power to appeal and attract the people of all age groups. The soft puppets are made with cloth and manipulated with hand and fingers. One needs deft fingers for movements, and a ventriloquist's voice to simulate speech.
The visual impact of puppetry is beautiful. And even the audience can participate wholeheartedly with their comments and encouragement. Puppetry needs only a small investment in money, material, manpower, making it perfect for everyone from the casual enthusiast to the professional puppet master, who can enthrall their audiences with fantastic stories and theatre.
So is puppet theatre a dying art? Yes, it probably is. In this new age of technology- mobile phones, high speed internet, instant gratification... who has the time to enjoy a slow paced art? Lifestyles have changed rapidly that many of our traditional crafts and hobbies have been forgotten.
Tell me what you think. Are we too old for the joy of puppetry? Can it ever make a comeback, or is it forever doomed to be one of those pursuits that we look back on with nostalgia, and a sigh of 'those were the days?
Note on Materials: Two mixed media pieces on paper are used to illustrate. Mediums used are pencils, charcoal, colored pencils and ink pen.

Hope Rises Eternal
Hope Rises Eternal
According to the way I feel, it is music, above anything else, that connects people in their dark days and gives them hope. Great composers and musicians have sustained the human spirit throughout history. From Beethoven, to Paul McCartney musicians have played an important role in our lives. Music is the background to our lives, be it the rhythmic tapping of a woodpecker, or the singing of birds, or the honking of horns outside our houses. Everything had rhythm, and though I am not able to hear it, I can feel it in my very being, in my very soul.
Don't get me wrong, I feel sad when I cannot partake in this nectar of the soul; whereas even the birds of this earth are free to indulge in it. But its part of who I am, and I have accepted it. I love that I can still use colour to depict my understanding of music. These pieces are called 'Hope Rise Eternal' to showcase this yearning of part of my soul.
Note on materials: two mixed media on paper are used similar to small pieces of collages and then painted on with brilliant colours.

Music on a Grand Scale
Music on a Grand Scale
A musician has a vast array of choices in selecting his instruments or backdrops in a city environment.
But as an artist I feel mother nature provides a vaster stage for a musician. The forest floor, the big mountain backdrop, the vast colourful sky canopy sets the stage .The colourful birds, running brooks, snails, snakes, reptiles, animals , fish, flora and fauna with their humming , songs and tweets provide the background music.
The artist feels that nature itself is a grand concert.
In these four paintings I have used oil on canvas and acrylic on canvas . I have tried to bring out the joy of music through colour, light and movement.
January 25, 2014
Imagine of Art
I call this piece, 'Imagine of Art'
This piece is a mixed media piece, and it is special to me. It was a gift to my younger brother. My younger brother is like a gift to me, and I painted this to show him how special he is to me.
The young woman in this piece is playing the didgeridoo. My brother loves this instrument and owns several of them, so this was the inspiration for my work. The young woman in this painting feels her words come out like pebbles in the sand. She feels beautiful, and dreams of freedom and music.
This piece is a dreamscape, and it came to me as a dreamlike inspiration. I love the visions in the sky, festival kites, shells and pieces of coin... floating in the calmness of the night and denoting the happiness that my brother finds when he plays his didgeridoo.
Notes on Materials: This is a clay and acrylic painting on wood. I used bright colours like blue, pink and violet in the sky to underline it's vibrancy and dreamlike texture. I also used texture in the form of sand, coins and shells.

Hello, and welcome to my website, 'The Sound of Colour'. I hope you enjoy your meander around, and don't forget to check out my gallery of work.
Why is my website called 'The Sound of Colour'? As an artist, I primarily rely on my intuition and perception of the world around me. For me, these are my guiding lights. As you know, I am hearing and speech impaired. But that is not what defines me. It is part of who I am, but not my entirety. In the solace of my silence, I feel the music of colour and light, which feeds my dreams and my soul, and guides my art.
I want you to feel the emotions that I feel when I paint. I want you to see the world through my eyes. I want you to hear the silent music that I hear. Through my art, I want to let you into my world.
And I hope that you will join and cheer me along on my journey through this world of colour, light, dreams and magic...

Taken at the Abingdon air show on Sunday 8th May……..
The AgustaWestland AW101 (rebranded from EH101 in June 2007) is a medium-lift helicopter for military applications but also marketed for civil use. The helicopter was developed as a joint venture between Westland Helicopters in the UK and Agusta in Italy (now merged as AgustaWestland). The aircraft is manufactured at the AgustaWestland factories in Yeovil, England and Vergiate, Italy. The name Merlin is used for AW101s in the British, Danish and Portuguese militaries.
In Spring 1977, the UK Ministry of Defence issued a requirement for an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter to replace the Royal Navy's Westland Sea Kings. Westland responded with a design designated the WG.34 that was then approved for development.3 Meanwhile, the Marina Militare (Italian Navy) was also seeking a replacement for its (Agusta-built) Sea Kings, leading Agusta to discussions with Westland about the possibility of a joint development.4 This culminated in the joint venture being finalised in November 1979 and a new London-based company, EH Industries Limited (EHI), being formed in June the following year to manage the project.
As the design studies progressed, EHI became aware of a broader market for an aircraft with the same capabilities as those required by the British and Italian navies. On 12 June 1981, the UK confirmed their participation, with an initial budget of £20 billion to develop nine pre-series examples.5 A major agreement securing funding for the development of the EH101 program was signed by both the British and Italian governments in 1984.6 At the 1985 Paris Air Show at Le Bourget, Agusta showed a mock-up of a utility version of the new helicopter, leading to a more generalised design that could be customised. After a lengthy development, the first prototype flew on 9 October 1987.7
In 1989 demand for the EH101 was uncertain, the American Blackhawk was providing competition with potential export customers, and neither Britain or Italy had placed production orders yet.8 The Canadian government had expressed considerable interest in 1991 in acquiring up to 43 EH101s to replace their own aging naval helicopters;9 however with the end of the Cold War they were branded as excessive by several politicians and the acquisition was aborted in 1993.1011 Britain maintained its commitment to the project, ordering 22 EH101 helicopters in February 1995;12 Italy also pressed ahead with its order for 16 EH101s in October 1995.13
The first group of production EH101s for the RAF began arriving in 1997.14 In 2002 Westland made an unsolicited and unsuccessful offer to provide the MoD with an enhanced version of the Merlin to meet the UK's demand for lift capability.15 Westland and Agusta merged together to form AgustaWestland International Limited in July 2000,1617 closing down EHI as a separate entity shortly afterwards. Consequently in June 2007 the EH101 was re-branded as the AW101.18
[edit] Design
[edit] Overview
AW101 airframe diagram
The AW101 Merlin is well known for its extensive use of composite materials.19 The modular aluminium-lithium alloy fuselage structure is damage and crash resistant, with multiple primary and secondary load paths. Active vibration control of the structural response (ACSR) uses a vibration-canceling technique to reduce the stress on the airframe. The AW101 is rated to operate in temperatures ranging from −40 to +50 °C. High flotation tyres permit operation from soft or rough terrain. The main rotor blades are a derivative of the BERP rotor blade design, which improves the aerodynamic efficiency at the blade tips, as well as reducing the blade's noise signature.20
The cockpit is fitted with armoured seats for the crew, and can withstand an impact velocity of over 10 m/s. Dual flight controls are provided, though the EH101 can be flown by a single person. The pilot's instrument displays include six full colour high-definition screens and an optional mission display.21 A digital map and forward-looking infrared (FLIR) system display can also be installed.
[edit] Propulsion
The probe for Aerial refueling
The military version of the AW101 is powered by either three Rolls-Royce/Turbomeca RTM322 turboshafts used by the UK, Japan, Denmark and Portugal; or three 1,491 kW General Electric CT7-6 turboshafts in Italy, Canada, and Japan. The Rolls-Royce RTM322 engine was specifically designed for the AW101,22 and was later used in other helicopters such as the WAH-64 Apache.23 Engine inlet particle separator systems provide protection when operating in sandy environments. Each engine is supplied by a separate 1,074 litre self-sealing fuel tank using dual booster pumps. A fourth tank acts as a reservoir supply, topping up the main tanks during flight; while a fifth transfer tank can be added to increase range, as can airborne refuelling. The engines power an 18.59 metre diameter five-bladed main rotor. The rotor blades are constructed from carbon/glass with nomex honeycomb and rohacell foam, edged with titanium alloy. Computer control of the engines via the aircraft EECU's (electronic engine control unit) allows the AW101 to hover reliably in winds of over 80 km/h.
The second small apparent exhaust pipe on each engine is the blowoff from a rotary separator to remove grit from the intake air.
[edit] Weapon and defensive systems
A chin FLIR is fitted to some variants.24 The AW101 (excluding the ASM MK1) is equipped with chaff and flare dispensers, directed infrared countermeasures (infrared jammers), ESM (electronic support measures, in the form of RF [radio frequency] heads), and a laser detection and warning system.25
It has two hard points for weapon carriers, on which the HM Mk1 model can carry four Sting Ray torpedoes or Mk 11 Mod 3 depth charges, though at present cannot use the Sea Skua missile. The Mk1, Mk3 and 3a variants can mount General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) in up to 5 locations in the main cabin pointing out of door and window apertures.
[edit] Cargo systems
The AW101's fuselage has a volume of 31.91 m3 and the cargo compartment is 6.5 m in length, 2.3 m wide and 1.91 m high. The military version of the AW101 can accommodate up to 24 seated or 45 standing combat troops and their equipment. Alternative loads include a medical team and 16 stretchers, and cargo pallets.26 The cabin floor and rear ramp are fitted with flush tie-down points, a semi-automatic cargo release unit (SACRU). The ramp (1.91×2.3 m) can take a 3,050 kg load, allowing it to carry vehicles such as Land Rovers.27 A cargo hook under the fuselage can carry external loads of 5,440 kg via the use of a SACRU.28 A rescue hoist and a hover trim controller are fitted at the cargo door.
[edit] Avionics
The navigation system includes a GPS and inertial navigation system, VHF omnidirectional radio range (VOR) instrument landing system (ILS), tactical air navigation (TACAN), and automatic direction finding. The MK1 and MK3 are equipped with a Doppler velocity system (DVS) for when the exclusive use of the conventional pitot pressure instruments might be unreliable for gauging accurate airspeed. The AW101 is equipped with helicopter management, avionics and mission systems linked by two 1553B multiplex and ARINC 429 databuses. A Smiths Industries OMI 20 SEP automatic flight control system provides dual redundant digital control, giving autostabilisation and four-axis auto-pilot operation.
[edit] Operational history
[edit] British Royal Navy
A Merlin HM1 of 814 NAS
The RN's final order was for 44 ASW machines, originally designated Merlin HAS.1 but soon changed to Merlin HM1. The first fully operational Merlin was delivered on 17 May 1997, entering service on 2 June 2000. All aircraft were delivered by the end of 2002, and are operated by four Fleet Air Arm squadrons, all based at RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall: 814 NAS, 820 NAS, 824 NAS and 829 NAS. 700 NAS was the Merlin Operational Evaluation Unit from 2000 to 2008.
In March 2004, RN Merlins were grounded following an incident at RNAS Culdrose when the tail rotor failed on one of them. Investigations revealed that this was due to tail rotor hub manufacturing defects.29 Flights resumed the following year.
The Merlin HM1 has been cleared to operate from the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, Type 23 frigates and a number of RFA vessels including the Fort Victoria Class. It is also intended to equip the forthcoming Type 45 destroyers. A Capability Sustainment Programme is currently in place to upgrade 30 aircraft to the Merlin HM2 standard. This will include a new mission system and digital cockpit. It had been planned to include the remaining 8 airframes but this has now been dropped for financial reasons while alternative roles were sought for these aircraft.30

The UK had long considered the Merlin as a replacement for the Sea King ASaC7 in the Airborne Early Warning (AEW) role.31 On 15 December 2009, the future helicopter plans were announced. The RAF Merlin HC3 and HC3As will be moved to the Commando Helicopter Force replacing 'junglie' Sea King Commando helicopter, these helicopters being replaced with Chinooks in RAF service. The eight spare airframes will be refitted with equipment from the Sea King ASaC7. Sea King will also be replaced in the SAR role by a PFI deal, resulting in the retirement of Sea King, leaving the Navy operating Lynx Wildcat and Merlin, the RAF operating Chinooks, and Army operating Lynx Wildcat and Apache.32 The Lynx helicopter has been seen as a useful compliment to the newer Merlins, however it had been mooted in 1995 than phasing out Lynx for an all-Merlin fleet in maritime use would be plausible.33
Royal Navy Merlins have seen action in the Caribbean, on counter-narcotics and hurricane support duties. They have also been active in Iraq, providing support to British and coalition troops on the ground, as well as maritime security duties in the North Persian Gulf.
[edit] British Royal Air Force
RAF ordered 22 transport helicopters designated Merlin HC3, the first of which entered service with No. 28 Squadron RAF, based at RAF Benson, in January 2001. The type is equipped with extended-range fuel tanks and is capable of air-to-air refueling; however, due to the lack of a suitable UK tanker aircraft, this capability has not been cleared for use. It also differs from the Royal Navy version by having double-wheel main landing gear, whereas the RN version only has a single wheel on each of the main gears.
A British Merlin in Iraq during 2005
Depth maintenance of Merlin HC3 is carried out at the Merlin Depth Maintenance Facility at RNAS Culdrose.34 The first operational deployment was to the Balkans in early 2003. They were deployed to southern Iraq as part of Operation Telic until July 2009 when British Forces withdrew from Iraq.
To alleviate a shortfall in operational helicopters the British Ministry of Defence acquired six DMRH AW101s from Denmark in 2007. These were assigned to the RAF with the designation Merlin HC3A. As part of the deal, the UK Ministry of Defence ordered six new-build replacements for the Royal Danish Air Force. In December 2007, a second Merlin squadron, No. 78 Squadron was formed at Benson.35 Five Merlin Mk3s are operating in Afghanistan in 2010; their initial deployment was criticised as they allegedly lack Kevlar armour,36 the aircraft are now fully fitted with ballistic protection armour supplied by Permali Gloucester Limited.37 It had been announced that the RAF would transfer its Merlins to the Royal Navy (specifically the Commando Helicopter Force) and receive Chinook HC2s as replacements. However this decision is now under review as part of the Strategic Defence and Security review due in October 2010.
[edit] Italian Navy
Italian Navy ASW variant in 2004
In 1997, the Italian government ordered 20 EH101 helicopters with four options for the Italian Navy in the following variants:38
9 (2) early-warning (AEW)
4 utility aircraft
4 ASH (Amphibious Support Helicopter)
The first Italian Navy production helicopter (MM81480) was first flown on 4 October 1999 and was officially presented to the press on 6 December 1999 at the Agusta factory. Deliveries to the Italian Navy started at the beginning of 2001 and were completed by 2006. Italian EH101s operate from a variety of ships, including aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. The 9th ASW helicopter was delivered on August 2009.
The AW101 was chosen for CSAR program, 12 + 3 option, of Aeronautica Militare (Air Force) for replacement of HH-3F.
[edit] Royal Danish Air Force

In 2001, the Royal Danish Air Force announced the purchase of eight EH101s for SAR duties and six tactical troop transports.39 The last of the 14 EH101s was delivered 1 March 2007 and the first SAR EH101s became operational in late April 2007. The Danish Mk 512s have a MTOW of 15,600 kg.
In 2007, the British Ministry of Defence acquired the six troop transport AW101s from Denmark to alleviate a shortfall in British operational helicopters. In exchange, the British have ordered six new-build helicopters from AgustaWestland as replacements for the Royal Danish Air Force.
On 28 January 2008, one Danish AW101 broke the drive shaft from one engine to the gear box and made an emergency landing at Billund Airport. Following this incident the Danish fleet was grounded as a safety precaution. The incident provoked national debate about the future of the EH101 in Danish service and whether it made sense to acquire different helicopters, since the EH101 had very low availability of roughly 30% due to mechanical issues. AgustaWestland in turn blamed the Danes for ordering spare parts very late and not keeping enough staff to properly service the helicopters.40 In April 2008, RDAF reported considerable improvements in operational availability of over 50%, citing improved service from AW (speedy delivery of spare parts) and increased proficiency of ground crews as responsible.[citation needed] Number 6 replacement for the helicopters taken over by British RAF was delivered January 20th 2010.
[edit] Portuguese Air Force
Merlin in Portuguese Air Force colours
The Portuguese Air Force has operated Merlins since 24 February 2005, in transport, search and rescue, combat search and rescue, fisheries surveillance and maritime surveillance missions. The 12 aircraft, in three versions, gradually replaced the Aérospatiale Puma in those roles. Portuguese Merlins are painted in a tactical green and brown camouflage.
The main role of the Portuguese AW101 is search and rescue in Portugal's maritime zone. AW101s are on constant alert at three bases: Montijo (near Lisbon), Lajes Field, Azores and Porto Santo Island.
[edit] Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force
Japanese MCH-101
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force ordered 14 aircraft in 2003 to use in both the AMCM (Airborne Mine Counter-Measures) and transport roles.41 The AW101 was modified by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and the Japan Defense Agency designated the model MCH-101. Characteristics of this model were automated folding of the rotor and tail, and an active anti-vibration system.42
AgustaWestland, Kawasaki and Marubeni entered a general agreement in 2002. Kawasaki began assembly of the CH-101 and the MCH-101 in 2003. The MEXT uses the CH-101 on its Antarctic transportation missions. Kawasaki began licensed production of the Rolls-Royce/Turbomeca RTM322 turboshaft engines in 2005.43 The first MCH-101 was delivered to the Self-Defense Force on March 3, 2006.4142
The MCH-101 and CH-101 will replace the MH-53E (S-80-M-1) for AMCM, and the Sikorsky S-61 in a support role for Japanese Antarctic observation missions.44 AgustaWestland received an order for 14 MCH-101 and CH-101, and another 12 aircraft will be assembled by Kawasaki in Japan.45 Under agreement between Marubeni and AgustaWestland, a Spare Parts Depot was established in Japan to provide support for its MCH-101 and CH-101 fleet.46
[edit] Other military customers
There has been a considerable demand for the AW101; which has kept a continuous queue of customers for over five years.47
Norway has expressed an interest in the AW101 as a candidate for the Norwegian All Weather Search and Rescue Helicopter (NAWSARH) programme, that is planned to replace the Westland Sea King Mk.43B of the Royal Norwegian Air Force in 2015.48 The other candidates for the NAWSARH contract of 10-12 helicopters are Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, Eurocopter EC225, NHIndustries NH-90 and Sikorsky S-92.49 Iceland also cooperates with Norway in this programme and is interested in 3-4 helicopters to replace its fleet of Super Puma helicopters.50
South Korea has recognised the need to modernse their airborne mine countermeasures (AMCM) maritime helicopter fleet, and the AW101 is one of the helicopters being studied for the role.51
In November 2007, Algeria signed a contract for six AW101 helicopters.52 This is one of several deals that may potentially follow according to the MOD.53
[edit] VIP and other usage

AgustaWestland developed a luxury variant of the AW101, the AW101 VVIP (Very Very Important Person, i.e. a head of state), targeted at business and VIP customers.54 In mid-2008 it was revealed that a Saudi Arabian customer had ordered two VVIP AW101s.55
The United States Marine Corps has acquired two AW101 (VH-71) helicopters as part of its efforts to replace its Marine One helicopters under the VXX program.56 However the project itself was halted when funding on the programme was cut on 6 April 2009,57 though it is likely to see a revival.58
India has ordered 12 AW101 helicopters, for the Indian President and Prime Minister.5960 The AW101 was selected after competing against the Sikorsky S-92 "Superhawk" in field trials in 2008. One particular requirement was that the helicopter have "a high tail boom" to allow the Prime Minister's car to come closer to the rear exit staircase for reduced exposure to threats.61

[edit] Notable accidents and incidents
Five Merlins have been written-off and one damaged in accidents, of which three have been due to problems with the tail rotor hub cracking.[citation needed]
21 January 1993 – Italian development Merlin PP2 (MMX600) crashed near Novara-Cameri airfield in Italy after an uncommanded application of the rotor brake in flight – four killed.[citation needed]
17 April 1995 – British development Merlin PP4 (ZF644) crashed near Yarcombe in Dorset, England.[citation needed]
20 August 1996 – Italian development Merlin PP7 (I-HIOI) was damaged in an accident when it turned over after the tail rotor drive failed on landing. The helicopter was repaired.62
27 October 2000 – British Royal Navy Merlin (ZH844) ditched near the Isle of Skye, Scotland after a hydraulic fire caused by the rotor brake being partially engaged.63
30 March 2004 – British Royal Navy Merlin (ZH859) crashed on take-off from RNAS Culdrose due to tail rotor hub cracking.64
15 November 2007 – During a medical evacuation on São Jorge Island, Azores, Portugal, a Portuguese Air Force Merlin caused injuries to five people when it suddenly and unexpectedly climbed by one metre in the middle of the embarking procedures. The pilot was then able to recover control of the helicopter minimising damage. According to an air force spokesperson, this kind of incident is unheard of.65

This is not meant to keep you awake at night, but heavy coffee drinkers are at increased risk of death, according to a major study.
For reasons that researchers do not fully understand, a 17-year study of 45,000 people showed those aged under 55 who averaged more than 28 cups a week were at risk.
It is not that people are dying at a rapid rate. But men who drink more than four cups a day are 56 per cent more likely to die and women have double the chance compared with moderate drinkers, according to the the University of Queensland and the University of South Carolina study.
Cardiovascular disease is not a major factor and people aged older than 55 do not appear to be adversely affected, say the authors of the report published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
"It could be the coffee, but it could just as easily be things that heavy coffee drinkers do," says the University of Queensland's Dr Carl Lavie.
"We have no way of knowing the cause and effect."
However, the statistics have been adjusted to remove the impact of smoking.
Close to 5 per cent of people in the study died during the 17 years.
"It's not as if people are dying like flies because they are drinking coffee. But it is statistically significant," says Dr Lavie.
"We are not trying to scare people, but I do think it makes sense to keep average coffee consumption to two to three cups a day."
This does not mean people should be afraid to occasionally have more than that, he says.
Senior investigator Steven Blair of the University of South Carolina says it is significant the results do not show an association between coffee consumption and people older than 55.
It is also important that death from cardiovascular disease is not a factor, he says.

A special tree,
you tower above the forest,
catching sunlight with
heart-shaped leaves.
More than an ornament,
you amaze our state
with your unusual size
and grace a century.
You lift a 69-foot crown,
toss your hair in the clouds,
offering milky white sap,
and cradle baby birds.
You hold a piece of history
in your wrinkled hands:
windstorms, fires, floods.
Your feet cleave to Clay County.
--Brenda Kay Ledford
