South Yorkshire boxer impatient for big title scrap
Dave Allen hopes boxing's administrators will give him a crack at the one belt he wants more than any other.
Updated Tuesday, 10th May 2016, 12:26 pm
David Allen celebrates at Sheffield Arena
The unbeaten heavyweight hopes the Boxing Board of Control will sanction him to take part in an eliminator for the British title.
Initially, his name was pencilled for a tick-over fight on a Stefy Bull show at Doncaster Dome, this weekend.
But he has decided against that and wants a more meaningful bout instead.
"We have agreed to wait and hopefully this week we might find out a bit more about what my chances are at getting a shot at a title" said Allen, 24.
"Promoter Eddie Hearn originally told me that he wanted to make a fight with David Price for June 25 and I said yes to that but Price has other things going on and is back in the top ten of the IBF. (Price is on the Tony Bellew undercard at Goodison Park on May 29.)
"I can't get out of bed for a four-rounder now I want to be fighting for titles or in eliminators, for the English, British or Commonwealth titles. The British belt is the one I have always wanted since I started boxing.
"I am ready for it, even if some people don't think I am. Maybe I didn't have much amateur experience but I hit hard enough to challenge any heavyweight.
"I am ready to roll the dice but a lot depends on how the British Boxing Board of Control sees it."
Allen, from Conisbrough, loves the big occasion, has boxed twice on Matchroom shows and knows the importance of fighting on live TV.
His last fight was on Kell Brook's undercard at Sheffield Arena, but the contest, as a spectacle, was poor.
"The problem was the opponent (American Jason Gavern) - he was terrible. Richard Towers had pulled out in the same week and in the last few days I wasn't very professional. It was the second time I had a pull-out so late and my last performance was pretty poor all round.
"But going for a title will see me 100 per cent."
Allen has only boxed one British fighter, out of the 10 he's faced (nine wins, one draw.)
"A lot have been Eastern Europeans and weren't great and I am impatient to fight big fights."
The boxer says he needs to transfer some of his sparring performances into the ring on fight night.
"I am getting better by sparring big-name, world class opposition in the gym - and I have had my way with a few of them."
Allen, who has worked as a teaching assistant in Wakefield, says he feels sorry for Dereck Chisora, who he says is now getting "beaten up" too often.

Pub Visit - Germany
Rosenheim, Bayern (Bavaria): Flötzinger Bräustüberl
Rosenheim is a smallish city on the River Inn in Upper Bavaria not far from the Austrian border. It dates from the 13th Century. Geographically it's an important railway junction where the Munich to Salzburg (and on to Vienna) line splits from the Munich to Innsbruck route (and south to Italy over the Brenner Pass).
The city is home to two breweries, Auerbräu and Flötzinger. The former is close to the station and has its tap located in a shack-like structure in the brewery's yard that doesn't open until the evening so wasn't visited on this occasion.
The Flötzinger Bräustüberl is a much more impressive building and is very close to its namesake brewery which is actually located at Herzog-Heinrich-Strasse 7. Like most traditional breweries in Bavaria this one has a long and interesting history.
The first record of its existence was in 1542. The following year it was first registered for tax which was two Kreuzer for each bucket (64 litres) produced. In 1604 the first proprietor is mentioned in records and this was Johann Huber who owned the brewery from 16.10.1604 to 10.03.1611.
The Plague in 1634 badly affected the town when one third of the population died. This was followed by the thirty years war. Then the town was destroyed on 02/03.05.1641 by fire which left only the town walls intact.
Another disaster was the War of the Spanish Succession from 1703 to 1715 when there was much pillaging from the Austrian forces.
During this period, 1n 1705, the brewery passed to a widow by the name of Wältl. However, by 1710 she went bankrupt and eventually was bought out by Georg Floetzinger who gave his name to the brewery that lasts to this day, even though it had many owners over the years following.
An important purchaser was Sebastian Zollne Jn in 1780 who invested in the brewery. Another major change occurred in 1804 when King Ludwig II passed the town from the court to the citizens and it became a city. It was then that the people saved the churches and the monasteries from dissolution during this period of secularisation.
In 1890 there were still eleven breweries in Rosenheim. In 1918 the Stockhammer brewery and pub succumbed to a takeover by Flötzinger and this was followed in 1920 when the Weissbierbrauerei Welckler was absorbed.
In 1934 the Steegmüller family gained control and remain in charge of this private brewery to the present day.
It was a pleasant hot afternoon when I, along with fellow imbibers Patrick and Vaughan, passed over the threshold. We elected to drink in the biergarten and selected from an impressive range of five draught beers. In addition there were a large number of bottled beers from the brewery.
We were offered a choice of Hell (5.2%) (normal light beer), Dunkel (5.3%) (dark), Hefe Weissbier Hell (5.3%) (wheat beer), 1543 Weissbier Kellertrübes (5.5%) (unfiltered cellar-fermented natural wheat beer) and Pils (4.8%). Between us we had them all except the 1543 and the consensus of opinion was that they were all very good examples of their styles.
The biergarten is quite small and I took a look at the interior of the pub itself as almost all of the clientele were in the garden. I was impressed by the classic rooms that so typify the ancient pubs in this part of the world.
Flötzinger Bräustüberl, Samerstrasse 17, Rosenheim 83022
Open: Wednesday to Monday 10.00-24.00. Closed Tuesday.
The pub is about fifteen minutes walk from Rosenheim station which is well served by RB (Regional local), RE (Regional express), and EC (Euro-City) that operated towards Munich, Innsbruck and Salzburg.

Pride in Pictures 2008: The Pride flag is now our icon
Gilbert Baker dyes and sews a symbol that endures.
By Ron Johnson Wednesday, June 20, 2018

How does one create an icon?
If you're artist Gilbert Baker, you're inspired by the suggestion of colleagues and friends like Harvey Milk. In 1978, in San Francisco, Baker sought a different symbol than the Nazi-era pink triangle, so he and friends dyed and sewed the first Pride flags for San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day Parade.
Activist and designer of the Pride flag, Gilbert Baker, in the Castro during 2012 San Francisco Pride.
For Baker, it wasn't easy growing up in Kansas, so he joined the Army and was stationed as a medic in San Francisco. After the Army, he started creating banners for anti-war and pro-gay protests.
For that first flag, Baker and 30 volunteers dyed the fabrics after hours at a laundromat and then ran bleach through the machines. The two original flags had eight colors — hot pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo and violet. For expedience, he would adapt it to six colors — red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
Baker later worked for a local flag company. He created flags for the city and for the 1984 Democratic National Convention there.
In 1994, for Stonewall 25, the silver anniversary of New York Pride, he created what was then the world's largest flag in the iconic rainbow colors. In 2003, to commemorate the flag's 25th anniversary, he created a version that stretched across Key West, Florida, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.
Baker died in 2017, at age 65. His iconic colors symbolize Pride and a movement.
Fun Pride fact —
1978 was a benchmark year for two gay San Franciscans originally from Kansas. Gilbert Baker, originally from Chanute, created the first Pride flag. And Jon Reed Sims, originally from Smith Center, founded both the Gay Freedom Day Marching Band and Twirling Corps and the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus.

Miksi ihmiset tekevät lävistyksiä, joka tapauksessa?
Ymmärtää "lävistyksiä psykologia" täytyy muistaa että se on vain – kaikkea – on koristelu. Tämä on, what motivates people to put this earring is the desire to beautify one's body in order to produce certain impression or create an image. Vielä, on olemassa joitakin muita syitä, aside of those to make one's body more appealing.
Primary, it's the desire to go "nostril-to-nostril" with the fashion trends. With this in mind, people place earrings on most visible body parts. Secondly, folks strive for that exclusive distinguishing look. In this case, the desire to stay out of flock could gradually result in putting on yet more and more "frills". Tämä on, ones this special image among those without piercing is achieved, people start to pursue new heights in acquiring the fanciest look among the others who sport those earrings, too! This way, area- and regional champions appear in certain social groups or hangouts.
The urge for the distinctive appearance, desire to show-off, be one-of-kind sits in deep sub-conscience of much many. Kuitenkin, among them are those who scare, hang-up, nurture their complexes: like, they want – and they don't. Now, watching others, free of such hesitations and doubts, these people vent their envy and unrealized desires by sub-conscious critical coming on the folks with piercing done.

This is written with special pastors in mind. If you minister where the most well-read news magazines are Progressive Farmer and the Farmers' Almanac and not The New York Times, where the local gathering place is not the bar but rather the town's grain elevator, where you can't leave town without everyone knowing where you are headed, and where everyone knew your name before you ever arrived there, then this blog's for you.
smallest, very small, quite unimportant, insignificant, very few, tiny.
Those adjectives pretty well describe what most feel about small town and rural congregations today.
When you take the above meanings, survey the rural places in Judea and Galilee where Jesus spent almost all of His ministry, and then consider that the emphasis today is placed on metropolitan growth areas in the church growth and planning materials, you can see why pastors serving in small towns and rural areas need encouragement!
I wonder if anyone else hears it too?
Definitely! You've put your finger on why I feel so at home when I visit World Renew's field work. I grew up in a rural town, and most of World Renew's overseas work takes place in very rural places that many NGOs have not reached. It's amazing how similar the issues of the day are whether you are in rural Guatemala or Uganda or rural USA.
I grew up in a small, rural church and I never thought it was "least". I'm so thankful that our pastor and elders didn't think it was "least" either. They led well and taught the Word- whether to 10 or to 50. I grew by leaps and bounds spiritually. I was also able to use my gifts of music at a very young age by playing the piano or organ on Sundays- something I never could have done in a large church. I'm thankful to have grown up in a small church and I'm thankful to be back in one!

Yvonne is a Queensland artist who lives and paints at Mt. Glorious, near Brisbane. She began exhibiting in 1981 and since then has maintained a consistently strong painting practice and exhibition schedule. Her most distinctive paintings are the grass series oil works, begun in 2004. This series is concerned with the colour, structure and movement of grass, and the relationship between areas of where grass has once been and where grass is now travelling to. Her works are currently held in private and public collections both nationally and internationally, including in Parliament House, Canberra, and University of the Sunshine Coast.
Yvonne's most distinctive paintings are her Grass Series begun in 2004. These are superbly crafted oil paintings, loaded with a strong metaphor for the spirit and movement of grass. The austerity and boldness of this subject matter is balanced by a delicate depth and finish-enhanced surface, seemingly imbued with the very fragrance of the Australian landscape. The ensuing result is works that vibrate and shimmer with their rhythmic and deliberate strokes of paint.
I remember when I first saw Yvonne's work from her now infamous Grass Series in 2004, I immediately thought of it's resonance with Indigenous art. I guess I'm tuned into that being somewhat of a dealer in this material, but we must not take these thoughts lightly. It's not very often that you get this resonance. From that point on, there began an intriguing conversation, indeed often a dialogue with her art and others. This found Yvonne's paintings being paired and compared with other Australian artists, often amidst cautious questions about the artists' background, ethnicity, locale etc. So what is it that makes Yvonne's paintings unique in this context? I think it's the combination of several important elements.
Her passion and discipline, her commitment, her craftsmanship, her belief in the basic mystery of the painting process - sometimes you get lucky! It's also about responding to this country. Not any country, it is definitely Australian country that Yvonne paints.
I guess that's also a strong and immediate resonance we have when looking at so much Indigenous art. More-often it will evoke a sense of place. It remains a mystery how this is achieved. Yvonne's works accordingly, look very comfortable sitting nearby indigenous art. They don't fight each other, they compliment and they inform one another. These are pretty rare commodities, far more easily to speak about than to physically achieve. Indeed for many these attributes remain political prizes or romantic notions. And there's nothing wrong with romantic notions they are just so very hard to realize. Hence, meditating on Yvonne's work therefore has a similar effect as one being transported into country, more so romantically, into a very nice, serene place.
In earlier paintings the landscape has been dominant over any figurative themes, particularly images of water, coast and jetty scenes, but always a sense of wonderment about a place. The grass was sometimes but one detail, that later became a dominant and focused theme within itself.
Her paintings are loaded with strong, simple metaphor, exquisite in depth and finish, enhanced almost with the smell of the Australian landscape.
So here in 2010 in this impressive survey exhibition we can now look back at a selection of Yvonne's paintings before, during and after this moment when the wind did indeed change, and the artist delved so deeply and passionately back into her own imagery - appropriating herself- culminating in so many variations of the Grass series: Encounters, Travels, Kikuyu, Dreams of Grass and other poetic meditations that remain her most prominent phase in a long and illustrious career.
Yvonne has spoken about her inner dialogues with paint and country, the movement of grass … the journey of life … However; it is really her paintings that speak for themselves. This remains the real business of painting. And so, many of Yvonne's paintings simply but quietly announce themselves. They maintain a beautiful conversation not only between art and the artist, but with the viewer and the entrancing 'country' we all have in mind.

In the 1960's Clark toured with Carl Sandburg and Bette Davis in "The World of Carl Sandburg", and appeared with Marlon Brando in "One Eyed Jacks", and in several TV episodes of "The Twilight Zone" and "Peter Gunn".
Clark Allen's 1942 drawing of the original GHS granite Castle has become a symbol of Grosssmont High's early history, appearing on our commemorative bronze plaques.
Franklin "Bud" Held - Class of 1946
Even in his early years at Grossmont High School, Bud Held excelled in sports, competing in track and field, baseball, and tennis. In college, he became a superb javelin thrower, earning NCAA titles in 1948, 1949, and 1950. Held was the first American to hold the world javelin record in 1953 and bested his own record in 1955. Bud held 6 AAU national titles and 6 American records in the javelin and competed in the 1952 Olympics.
After careers as a minister and later a businessman, Held continued to excel athletically. In 2008, he competed in the USA Masters Outdoor Track and Field Championship, where he became the world record holder in the pole vault for ages 80-84.
Bill Davis - Class of 1948/Honor Graduate, 1987
Bill Davis loved Grossmont High School. It was a love first instilled in him in 1944-48 during his four years as a student and athlete at Grossmont High School, then in 1966-1970 by his four years as a Assistant Principal, and finalized by more than ten years as a Principal from 1976-1988.
Upon his departure as GHS Principal, Bill said despite the changing problems the school faces, "the things Grossmont stands for are built on a foundation and record of excellence." After leaving Grossmont, Bill became a GUHS District Director working to develop programs to identify and encourage high-risk students to graduate.
But his love of all things Grossmont didn't end with his retirement. Bill became Grossmont's oral historian, reminding us of the wonders of our past. In this role, Bill continued to be an advocate for the values and traditions that have distinguished Grossmont High School.
Outside of education, Bill continued to serve others. In 1988 after 37 years in the military, Bill retired as a Colonel: he had served 4 years in the Naval Reserve, 2 years of Active Duty in the Air Force, and 31 years as a member of the Air Reserves. In addition, Bill was active in East County community service organizations: he was a member and Past Distinguished President of the La Mesa Kiwanis, as well as being a member of the Elks Lodge of El Cajon, the El Cajon Masonic Lodge #575, the SDSU Aztec Club, and a Life Loyal Sigma Chi member.
Gene Chubb - Class of 1948
Gene Chubb, RCP Senior VP, is a proud and generous alumnus who has demonstrated his love of Grossmont High School through campus improvements.
In 1947-48, the Hi-Y Club, of which Gene was a member, built the Big G on the Hill in front of the original school, made of shrubs and blooming in colors of blue and gold. Eventually, the shrubs showed their age; in 1993, thanks to the GHS band fundraising and Gene and RCP's generous support, crews of parents and band members created the current Big G from 770 gold painted bricks and gravel.
Then in 2015, the G was repaired and painted, the frame of the G redone in stone to match the 1922 granite of the original school, and the gravel replenished with materials again supplied by RCP.
Simultaneously, Gene was working on another project at the entrance to Grossmont: modernizing the Class of 1989 monument with Gene donating the concrete blocks and the masonry. Gene also facilitated the creation of a paver pathway on the north side of the Math Building through his donation of the needed pavers, gravel, and sand.
Next in 2016, Gene provided the materials and the masonry to create the face and the pillars of the front monument beside the new GHS Office, another iconic testament to Foothiller history. In 2020, Gene created two concrete block seats at the entrance to the GHS Museum; they echo the other monuments on campus as well as the granite of the original school.
Over the past 72 years, Gene Chubb has epitomized Foothiller pride through his generous efforts to modernize the campus while preserving its amazing history.
Fredric Martin Donohue - Class of 1949
Martin Donohue received his commission in 1954 through the Air Force ROTC program at San Diego State College and began active duty August 1954. Marty was awarded his pilot wings in 1959 and completed Helicopter Pilot Training the same year. In 1967-68, he served his first tour of duty in Vietnam with the 37th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron.
Two years later in November 1970, five Air Force Crosses were awarded in the attempted rescue of American Prisoners of War from Son Tay prison in North Vietnam. Major Donohue "Apple 3" was one of the three HH-53 pilots awarded the Air Force Cross. His Air Force Cross Citation was awarded for "extraordinary heroism …when Major Donohue courageously flew the first aircraft directly over the compound at an altitude of forty feet….He fired upon the greatest threats to the ground rescue party,…neutralizing guard towers….Major Donohue, without regard to his personal safety, immeasurably contributed to the complete confusion and disorganization of enemy forces….Through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship and aggressiveness in the face of the enemy…."
Colonel Donohue then served at the Pentagon and MacDill Air Force before retiring from the U.S. Air Force on August 31, 1984.
Ben Cloud - Class of 1949
During the Vietnam conflict in the spring of 1964, in a two week period, Ben Cloud flew 12 missions over North Vietnam to gather reconnaissance information of North Vietnam's military activity and received hostile fire every time. Before the Vietnam War, Ben flew with the Blue Angels. When the war began, the Blue Angels were dismantled, and in 1964, when he was sent to Vietnam, he flew the first combat mission in the Vietnam War.
Later in his career, Ben worked in the White House as an aide in the Office of Protocol, planning diplomatic events to three Presidents: Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. Ben became one of the first African Americans to command a squadron and in 1972 served as the Executive Officer of the carrier Kitty Hawk, which launched some of the final strikes of the Vietnam War. In 1972, Commander Cloud was instrumental in defusing the worst race riot in modern navy history.
Also, during his career, Ben was Commander of the Fighter Squadron at Miramar Air Force Station. He served as Captain of the Navy for 32 years from 1952-1984. He retired after an amazing career distinguished by his commitment to the service of his country and by his personal courage. Obituary

CARE knows how to find new and effective ways to fight poverty.
Here are just some of CARE's innovations that are making a big difference to millions of people's lives.
CARE's pioneering Village Savings and Loan Associations have helped 5 million people - 70% of them women - to make plans for a better future.
How can poor and marginalised people actually have a say over what sort of health or education services they need?
How can you provide food aid in a remote and extremely poor community in a way that also boosts local markets?
CARE found an ingenious solution to the problem of women in Ecuador having to walk down the mountain to get water from the river.
Bangladesh is prone to flooding and livestock like chickens often drown in floods – so why not rear some floating food instead?
Our Shouhardo project with 2 million of Bangladesh's poorest people proved that women's empowerment is the best way to improve everyone's lives.

[Uma Musume Pretty Derby] Episode 13 - FINAL everyone's impressions
"Echo, Fanfare!"
Ah so we reached the final episode.
While it was funny seeing them line up near the goal I think it was the best way leaving the viewer to decide who won. It was great they all could do the winning live together as well.
this Umamusume at the end at first I thought it was Cesario Spe's daughter but she had a ribbon on her right ear making her based on a male horse. Umamusume has a rule with character design to show which is male in real life and which is female in real life. Males have something on their right ear while females have something on their left (Special Week is a male in real life so she has a ribbon on her right ear while Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet are female so they have ribbons on their left ear).
I guess she could possibly be Kitasan Black a race horse that just ran his final race a year ago. He was popular due to being not only strong but also being owned by a famous enka singer in Japan. He would also sing in front of the crowd whenever his horse won. If Kitasan Black was in Umamusume the winning live would definitely be enka lol.
Well at first I was quite sure this show would fail as its concept was just plain weird and quite disrespectful to the horses which the characters are based on, however, after watching episode after episode I found that this show showed lots of respect towards horse racing and soon changed the doubts of me and many other people. I'm glad I gave this show a chance as it has been my favorite show this season and it also made me want to visit the racing courses again. I'm quite sad this show ended and I will be hoping for a second season or movie. I'm excited for the game but it still doesn't have a release date. It cannot come sooner enough
It has been a pleasure watching and discussing this show with you guys and I hope some of my posts have been useful for giving you some background information on Japanese horse racing.
P.S. Also they finally performed Umapyoi Densetsu! the song that is in every Umamusume character CD. It's a weird but strangely addicting song so I recommend you listen to a few of the different versions. My personal favorite is the Rudolf, Air Groove and Narita Brian version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iabXIUFbhZc&feature=youtu.be
Kitasan Black lines up, he has the white stripe, and the colour palette of black and brownish orange.
I also noticed her shoes are yellow just like the color of Kitasan Black's taping . This show never stops surprising me with the attention to detail!
They all look so pretty in their dresses <3
Me too Trainer-san T_T
I have to admit that I never had any expectations with this show when it first aired. Never have I expected for PA Works to create an anime based on a mobile game about horse girls and make me care about these characters. I guess considering their past shows, I shouldn't be surprised. This is what they do best.
Hopefully this isn't the end of Uma Musume. With the mobile game incoming, I really hope they'll pull a BanDori and end up making more anime because of the game's popularity.
Vodka looked amazing, that nice black dress with those strappy shoes.
El-chan and Gold Ship are ellegant af
≫They all look so pretty in their dresses <3
Yeah I know right! It's a shame we didn't get more of that in the series. Made up for their race costumes...I didn't care too much for those.
The Dream Race outfits especially felt like a step down from the dresses. Sure, it makes sense in so far that one is better for running than the others, but they also had better racing outfits.
Teios looked seriously cute
I don't think many of us expected this show to be much good in the beginning.
Horse girls was the only reason I checked it out.
But man, it had some absolutely exceptional and emotional moment, every race was exciting and every win was immensely joyous. Spe catching Suzuka when she was injured and Suzuka making her return will definitely stick out as my favourite moments.
Got an album? about to make these my wallpapers
Couldn't have expected anything more from this finale, loved every second of it. It was a special moment seeing them all race together, can only assume they crossed the finish line together which is as good a result as it gets. And the live concert, really love the songs from this series, Umapyoi is fantastic song and just look at the ridiculous number of them in the credits. Says quite a lot that I am actually feeling happy once the credits rolled, not sad that the show has finished. Definitely my AOTS too.
Cygames have outdone themselves with this new IP, Umamusume anime has been an absolute joy to watch. So much care and attention they put into these horse girl designs, and their stories too linking back to the real horses themselves.
I'm really looking forward to the game, based on the anime they produced I will believe Ishihara's words and hope the game beats my expectations. They been teasing for so long I hope it releases soon, but then again I want them to really polish it.
The return of the Gold Ship eye-poke gag! This finale is already perfect.
She really is the glue that holds Team Spica together.
Season 2 When?
I need more cute horse tummies.
1: Gold Ship is a true bro for staying with Trainer-san when he was at the lowest point. Secretly best horsegirl right there.
2: I don't like that the race had no winner. I wished for a tie between Spe and Suzuka, or a "Underdog" winner like McQueen.
≫I don't like that the race had no winner.
It's actually a nice thing since we got to see them all perform.
≫Gold Ship is a true bro for staying with Trainer-san when he was at the lowest point. Secretly best horsegirl right there
Yes. I at first dismissed her as just a joke character, but i came to appreciate her more over the episodes
I thought about giving it 8/10 but then I remembered it's a series about horse girls and I gave it 9/10.
This series was solid all the way through. So exciting and immersing I had a great time with every episode. I don't remember any other sport series that that are so likable. There's so much good about this series I could talk for hours.
I'm really glad I got to watch this and I hope it'll get another season.
The perfect ending Utopian ending that we all deserve. Not only did not Spec-chan or Suzuka win over one other, NO on lost haha I thought it would be at least that they would draw and not show who won but full episode establishing everyone rival to beat and all the rival teams get a draw hahahahaha
Leading to of course the ultimate idol girl dance number we all been waiting for with all the horse girls together singing about rivalry.
Gonna miss this anime :( it came from nowhere to be one of the most enjoyable animes this season.
As good as the Germany - Mexico may be I do not regret going away for a while to watch this, incredible how an anime that seemed so silly managed to be so amazing, a very good 9/10 and my AOTS!
Teio looks stunning in her dress. It's simpler than most of the other dresses, but maybe that's what makes it appealing.
I was afraid for a bit that with all that lead-up they would just leave the series with the start of the race to then go into an ad of the game, but they actually made it through, even if they left it ambiguous who really won.
Was a pretty enjoyable sports series with a lot of funny quirks and I do hope that the game will be available in Europe, I certainly want to join the race war. So, in its purpose as an advertisement for the game, it certainly worked on me.
It wasn't ambiguous. Only the winner alone gets to be on stage for the Dream Cup. The fact all 18 girls were on stage gives away the result. It was a draw.
What a great way to end the show. It's always been a lot less about who wins and who loses and way more about the journey and the bond of friendship forged between friends and rivals. Racing together with everyone has always been the ultimate goal of the show, and some of the girls themselves. It's only fitting that we see them achieve that goal and be able to stand together on the platform at the end.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an honor watching this show with you this season. Who know that what looked like a generic show based on a mobile game would, what I would assume most of us would agree, be the biggest surprise of the season? Uma Musume sprinted into our hearts, made us cheer, and wrung us dry. And we're all better for it.
Also, Gold Ship is best girl.
≫Also, Gold Ship is best girl.
I see you're a man of culture as well
PLEASE DO NOT RIDE THE HORSE
Now this is how you do a fanservice episode. Get all the girls together for one big race. They didn't show a winner but we all know best girl Suzuka won ;)
This show really was a surprise for me, it nailed both the CGDCT angle and was a pretty good sports show at the same time. The tension and emotional moments always got to me and I have to give them credit for that.
Also had a cute ship!
I'll miss these girls but it was a really nice ride :)
It was a draw. They're all won.
My life already sucks more now that this is over.
What am I going to do now? Watch the world cup? Fuck that gay shit
I felt the exact same last season when Yuru Camp and Sora Yori ended but I found this cute show and everything turn back to normal. Don't worry, I guess there will be something this good next season.
And so we come to the end! Like many here, I never expected that we'd get even close to as good a show as this out of such an outlandish concept. But more than that, the care in attention to detail, and seemingly fervent determination to avoid conventional fanservice moments, has been immensely impressive.
All the background gags, the overall positive tone and decidedly sportsmanlike attitude of all the characters towards each other. pacing that neither allowed events to feel dull or drawn out, nor sacrificed character development or downtime for the sake of plot progression. The amount of heart and care that went into this show's production seems very apparent, and I feel that's not something you see every day, and that is worthy of commendation.
While it isn't quite my AOTS (because Comic Girls exists), it's extremely close, and I've certainly enjoyed the ride far more than I ever would have anticipated. Also learned a good deal more about horse racing than I ever wanted to, thanks in large part to the knowledgeable folks in these discussion threads. Sundays just won't be a special without the horse girls.
In conclusion, Oguri Cap was the best of a cast of best girls, Gold Ship was best running joke, and I'm still overjoyed the we got a whole cast of cute girls with dumb nonsense racehorse names. Truly a momentous step forward for the industry.
Well that was a good way to end the show. I'm glad that Special Week and Suzuka where able to keep their promise. Looks like Trainer has found himself another horse girl to train. What was Gold Ship doing to Mejiro McQueen.
What an amazing show. Can't say I was disapointed at all. You think this was going to to be trashy but it turned out as something meaningful and hyped. And the dream race was perfect at the end.
I was very impressed that basically every episode had an animated race. A lot of sports anime (let's be honest this is totally a sports anime) have a ton of build up to just one race or match. The animation during the races was top notch and the mix between CGI and traditional animation was fairly solid as well. Every race had me on the edge of my seat and rooting for them until the very end. The series far surpassed my expectations.
Going back and watching the PV the updated anime character designs look better but I'm a little sad we didn't get to see any ice skating.
What a great ending for a great show. We don't know who won, but for once in a show like this I'm fine with that. I honestly couldn't have told you which of them I was rooting for. Just like Trainer, in the end, It was just about watchingall of these great girls run. For me this came out of left field and easily became one of my favorites each week. Really well done.
This game better be coming out in NA, and when it does, I'm going to end up dropping so much money on it lol.
We do know who won. Only the winner gets to be on stage for the Dream Cup. The fact all the girls were on stage means everyone won. It was a draw.
What do I have to live for now?
I'm sad this is over. Loved every episode
I began watching this series as a joke with my brother; we saw the a clip of the op on Kotaku, and thought it looked SO ridiculous we just had to see it and make fun of it. I mean, c'mon. Famous racehorses who are reincarnated as anthropomorphic teenage horsegirls who attend a special school dedicated to horse racing and who compete in races with each other that end in the winning horsegirl(s) singing in a celebratory pop idol concert? Like, this series was just begging to be memorialized as an absolute trainwreck.
And yet -- somehow -- here I am 13 episodes later, completely and totally invested in the show and absolutely 100% willing to suspend my disbelief for the sake of entertainment and fun that Uma Musume brings with it. I could not be more surprised by how much I enjoyed this show. Huge props to Cygames and co. for sucking me into a world that I was so ready to ridicule.
Also Gold Ship 100p best girl
This series was amazing. Gonna miss this series and all the cute horse girls this had.
This was a good way to end the series. I wasn't too keen on having a 15 person draw, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Of course, Trainer had to fondle another horse girl's thighs before it ended, only for him to get kicked in the face.
The series as a whole was very entertaining. It brought a lot of smiles, a good amount of chuckles and one or two tears. Every character had their place in the series, which is difficult to do most of the time. You could tell a lot of effort was put into the series, as well. Thankfully, my biggest concern of it heavily focussing on the idol aspect didn't last long. It's not my AOTS, but it is definitely up there.
There's only one thing to do now and that's to check out the game, whenever possible. Hopefully, the wait for the game will be worth it.
I started watching this because of the memes, expecting a trashy train wreak for me to make fun of and drop after 3 episodes. This show has no business being anywhere near as good as it was.
I don't know how they managed to do it, but they got me emotionally invested in a bunch of horse girls. They even managed to pull a few tears out of me at times. This show managed to break my heart and put it all back together repeatedly over a dozen episodes, and I absolutely love watching all the girls grow as both people and runners, especially Spe-chan and Suzuka.
I was really expecting to feel kind of sad when this show ended, but I honestly feel really satisfied with what I got, which I guess speaks a lot for the overall quality of the show. Still, season 2 when?
Awesome final episode and an excellent series as a whole. If you told me three months ago that an anime based on a mobage about horse girls would be this good, I'd have laughed. However, P.A Works did a stellar job. It's not quite my AOTS (that would be either Hinamatsuri or Megalo Box), but I'm damn sure that Uma Musume is the biggest surprise of this season.
I'm really sad this anime is over. I really enjoyed all of the characters, the drama and the just warm feelings that you got watching this. I certainly hope Cygames produces a second season. I think this has been quite a bit more popular than they even imagined. (Especially overseas, unless we're just really vocal)

Re: Arlo legacy iOS app???
mikejd1
So I just got an update for the Arlo app on the App Store today and it said the app will no
Longer work at the end of September and to download the new Arlo app. The problem is THERE IS NO NEW ARLO APP on the App Store. What the heck is going on with this Arlo team? You'd think before pushing an update like that the app would actually be ready in the App Store!!!
Model: VMS5240 | Arlo Ultra 2 Camera Kit
The new app should now be available in the Android store with iOS soon to follow. We apologize for any confusion this has caused. It may take a little time for the app to show as available for all users. Please keep an eye on the app store and download the new Arlo app when it becomes available.
For more information on the new Arlo app, take a look here: Arlo is migrating to a new Arlo app this month
IAMSAMMICH
Good thing you have 30 days for them to push the app... It's most likely stuck in the Apple approval process. Patience young padewan..
That's not the point. Why direct someone to do something that isn't even available yet?
moosed
I agree. I have a lot of ultra cameras, woke up to this wonderful news at 6am... called netgear... took them 10 minutes to get my contact information... they refused to help me because I did not want to go digging around for a serial number at 6am then they told me they don't support arlo products right after I see a message about support ending for the app later this month and no other app is available. So I'm thinking I dropped over a grand on cameras that lasted about 40 days. Then they tell me to contact arlo... the app developer is netgear... so ok... transfer me! Can't do that. Searched the site for a while trying to find the number. Had to google it. Spent 22 minutes on the phone to find out the app is not released yet, it is still in development. Great. Should I get out now? Probably.
Model: VMS5440 | Arlo Ultra 4 Camera Kit, VMC5040 | Arlo Ultra Add-On Camera
I'm sorry. I don't usually make call, but this entire company is a joke and that product mgmt team are complete morons
Ewf2001
Why all the panick? It's not the usual way that we get an app update but it's not yet the end of September. Maybe there are a lot of core changes to the app so that Arlo (or Netgear) has to make clear that you must upgrade to the new app. I agree it would have been better if the app was already there but there could also be an delay with Apple?
Google doesn't screen apps and during my call with Arlo, they said it is not in the google play or App Store yet, it is still in development
DoNotBuyArlo
I totally agree. My Arlo Pro 2 system has turned to junk by these Arlo monkeys. Even the moderators don't know how to help real customers as they just read recorded scripts over and over again. Maybe they should find real jobs.
unlimitedsounds
Why update the iOS app and tell us to download the new app and it is not ready yet....
@Ewf2001 wrote:
Agreed, Not sure what the fuss is about. Nothing has broken. The same thing happened with my Hue Apps when they switched architecture. Now that Arlo is a separate entity, they are most likely creating a standalone (separate from Netgear) app. Instead of complaining, maybe you could look towards the positive side of a company that continues to invest in its apps/userbase. I made the mistake of trying out canary for a bit. Terrible company that was....
kipster007
Why all the panic???? Well it is worrisome when a company tells you to install new software and old software will stop working in 30 days... oh yea by the way we're not done with the new software yet.
I don't care if it's ready sitting on a shelf somewhere. You don't just do that to people. Let me spend $600 on some system oh it's not going to work in 30 days unless you upgrade and upgrade is not available to you yet hoping to release it soon and even if we do hoping you didn't have to leave on vacation for a while leaving your property unprotected... You should have come back from vacation to upgrade and then gone back.... This by far is the DUMBEST thing I heard a company doing... Whose running this company Jerry Lewis.?! If they gave an option either upgrade when we release it and hope you are in town or recieve a full refund. It would be a no brainer!!!
@IAMSAMMICH what do you mean you don't see what the fuss is about? I see you've been complaining about bugs in their software for two years and now you're defending them when their software won't be working in 26 days... and so far there is only mention of a new app. What would you say to other people who use this to protect their families, their babies and what if they don't have an app out by September 30th? You think that's not a big deal? They're pulling the thing that makes these work without an alternative. When hue switched over apps, they were available side by side. I have both apps still and use them. The old app has a feature or two the new one doesn't. They didn't make one stop working. even if they did, they had the other one available
Just downloaded the new app for iOS .....

The new app constantly crashes on all of my iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). Figures. I've been an Arlo customer for one month, and I'm learning that Arlo software is trash.
krypttic
What is the point of the Arlo Legacy app if the new Arlo Technlogies app was released today anyway? Why did I need to update my previous app only to replace it the same day?
hhzhao
For anyone on IOS 13 (beta), the new Arlo app 2.8 has a major issue running on devices with iOS 13. That is the notification and alerts DO not working!, no notification message, no badges, no alert sound, nothing at all!!!
iOS 13 will be released in few weeks, and Arlo legacy (2.7.x) will be end of its life by the end of September. This issue better be fixed by then, I hope!
Yup. I'm on iOS 13.1 beta 2 and noticed this too. Gonna delete the new app and go back to legacy for now

Hi Mikejd1, I personally had no luck yesterday evening failing back to the Arlo legacy app running iOS 13.1.
I had to go a bit extreme and restore the iPhone back to iOS 12.4.1 to get a Arlo apps to work normal again and receive notifications .
So as of last night I am running iOS 12.4.1 again on my daily device .
Yup. Just noticed this too
We're aware of an issue with notifications and the iOS13 beta. We will have a fix for this ready for release prior to the official release of iOS13. I will keep you updated on when this will be available.
Wow JamesC, lol in my only short 2.5 months of owning Arlin ultra cameras I must say that's the fastest I've seen Arlo admit to an issue with their product that needs correcting.

Thanks for clarifying this. New Arlo App for Android is available now at the App Store and still waiting for the iOS version to come out.

BCAC director leaving post
Executive Director Laura Knochen-Davis will be leaving the Broome County Arts Council (BCAC) as of July 28. Knochen-Davis told the arts council board of directors that she is facing some family obligations that require her complete attention.
"I am disappointed not to be able to continue in my position as I was looking forward to a long relationship with the BCAC," said Knochen-Davis, who became executive director in January 2016.
Since February, the BCAC has been developing an organizational strategic plan. Board President Susan Appe, Ph.D., said an interim executive director will be named while the council puts its strategic plan in place, and then a full search will be conducted for a permanent executive director.
Appe said that, under Knochen-Davis' leadership, membership increased 20 percent, the arts council completed another successful annual campaign for the United Cultural Fund and the BCAC increased important public programming such as workshops for local artists and community members and expanded First Friday events and exhibits.

An Appeal to His Excellency, The Executive Governor of Delta State
Source: ukpakareports.com
Your Excellency sir,
We, the 2007(batch B) corps members who served in delta state university abraka campus, between October 2007 and September 2008 wish to bring to your notice the non-payment of our state allowance through out our service year in delta state. When we arrive delsu, we were told that it is tradition that the state allowance is paid at the end of the service year. So while our co-leagues in other state owned establishments were receiving five thousand (#5000) monthly allowance, thirty three of us in delsu were hoping to collect a bulk sum of sixty thousand naira(#60,000)each at the end our service year. It was a shock, however on the 14th of February 2008 when our predecessors that is our batch B counterparts passed out without being paid.
It was on this note that we realized that all the assurance we got from the school authorities through series of meetings were all false, so we confronted them and insistently emphasized on being authorized to process the payment ourselves. After much pressure, we were authorized with a covering note from the bursary unit of the university. It got to a point where the former P.S in the ministry of higher education came down to abraka with two of his staff to arrange our documents to ensure payment against the delay of the university authorities. The greatest shock met us on the 29th august 2008 when our representatives were chased out of office by the chief accountant in ministry of higher education in the person of mr.obiabga, it become obvious that bureaucratic conspiracy was in its manifestation, so we were left with no option rather than to take more drastic measure since the process has been exhausted.
Monday 1st of September 2008 found us at the state house of assembly complex, unfortunately, the honorable house members were on recess, we left there for the office of the executive governor but he was on leave, his deputy was also not on seat, we were directed to the office of the chief of staff who after a fair hearing directed us to the p.s cabinet office, where we finally met with his P.A.
The P.A to S.S.G gave us appointment for Friday 5th September to enable him make due consultations on the matter since he was new in the office, only for the state coordinator to sermon us on the 4th of September for breaching protocols and violating NYSC bye laws section 6, subsection © and (F) as stated in the query issued to us.
It was after due to defense and provisions of evidence of due process that the state coordinator saw the injustice done to us and offered to be in attendance which she did at the office of the permanent secretary to the state government. In that meeting it was decided that we will be paid from a special fund, it was also said that no corper will be sent to delsu until they apologize for their gross inhumanity.
However, on the 17th of October 2008 I visited the state coordinator to remind her of her promise to take over our struggle and making sure that we are paid, she advised me to go to the government house myself when I demanded for an explanation she said "so that they will know that it was a serious case"
Your Excellency sir, we are convinced that this matter never got to your table, we know it was swept under the carpet. Times without number you have distinguish yourself as a social crusader and a detribalized citizen of Nigeria, we are also aware of your true follower-ship of Aristotle concept of justice "equal distribution of all distributable among equals in the society", we also know that this may be handiwork of masked enemies in your government, for it is only such a person or persons that will paint your administration the image it does not deserve.
We therefore appeal to you to use your good office to do this case of inhumanity the justice it deserves.
God bless you sir as we awaits your due consideration.
God bless delta state.

Extremely durable and able to withstand great depths, the Divinycell HCP is used by renowned filmmaker and shark expert, Joe Romeiro.
Diab, producers of Divinycell, explains that naturalist and award-winning cinematographer Joe Romeiro has always loved the ocean and got interested in sharks at a very early age. He has produced a number of award-winning films that have aired on Discovery Networks, Discovery International, National Geographic, National Geographic Wild, BBC Wildlife, Animal Planet, among others. Himself a respected naturalist, Romeiro has worked with many of the top scientists and researchers within the field of shark research and behavior. He has spent over a decade filming and interacting with sharks all over the world.
Discovery Channel's much anticipated Shark Week 2016 opened in late June with the documentary 'Tiger Beach'. A team, led by Dr Neil Hammerschlag from the University of Miami, US, had invited Romeiro to participate in a research project where a shark was tagged with a fin-cam to track the behaviour of many species of sharks in deep water. "I used the Divinycell HCP on the component that carried a wildlife computer tag. The tag could track its movement via GPS once released off the shark by a magnesium trigger. It was the only way to recover the footage that we had compiled on the many successful deployments," says Romeiro.
Used in subsea applications from sea level to 700 meters depth, Diab explains that its Divinycell HCP has a long and excellent track record. The low-density cross linked polymer foam successfully meets the demands for high performance in subsea applications. HCP stands for Hydraulic Crush Point and the number defines the maximum hydraulic pressure the material can withstand. It has very low buoyancy loss and water absorption under long-term loading conditions due to its excellent hydraulic compressive properties and closed cell structure. It can be shaped into almost any design and is widely used in ROVs, flotation units, diving bells and marine impact-protection structures at depths down to 700 meters.

Delhi Weather this May;
After a line of W.D.'s, Delhi this May (only May, summer not yet over) had absolutely normal temperatures. None of the extreme heat, except for only a couple of days early in the season when the mercury touched 43c, and thus maintaining a normal average. The minimum temperature in Delhi has been below normal and "comfortably ok".None of the 32-33c in the nights as yet. In fact there were a few days with the low around 20c, 19.6c to be exact. The overall average temperature for May this year was just normal, 0.14c below normal to be precise !The diagram for May gives a clear picture of the average and the maximum and minimum temperatures, and the departures from normal (red and blue colours indicative of the variation).
For information, in contrast, the highest ever recorded at Delhi (Safdarjung) was 47.2c on 29th. May 1944. While the lowest ever recorded in May was17.5 on 12th.May 1964, not too far from this year's minimum.
No surprise that Delhi had 74mm of rain in May, surpassed only once before in 2002, when 132 mm of rain was recorded. And the number of rain days this year was 10 in May, against a normal of 2/3 days. This diagram gives a clear picture of precipitation this year.
Monsoon Watch - 20
Carrying on from MW-19, the" sudden push" mentioned has pushed the monsoon into Karnatak, on the next day ,29th. But, as estimated, the gathering of the clouds in the Arabian Sea is not gaining enough monentum to keep up the pace of the last two days. Heating up in the plains of the sub continent is taking place, but slower than expected, and the "tail" of the W.D. hangs around in the form of an upper air trough. A mass of rain bearing clouds has developed over the Sindh coast very near to Karachi.
Thus for the monsoon clouds to get organised in the western arena it may take yet another 3 days.The winds are not strong enough and cannot gain strenght due to lack of temperature gradiant (low pressure not enough inland). The only positive factor for this today is the trough off the west coast of India.
These observations are best that I can infer from my experience, and I am no expert. The actual behaviour of nature will always puzzle the best of meteorologists and computer models and prove the weatherman right or wrong.

Cold weather in U.K
Very cold weather in U.K. on 28/29th. May caught my attention. I feel that any extreme weather or records regarding the weather in any part of the world , must be put up on my blog.
Rain and strong winds ravaged southern England,St Catherine's Point on the Isle of Wight was one of the wettest places in the UK, receiving an incredible 80mm, (just over 3 inches) of rain during the weekend.Temperatures struggled across many parts and were unseasonably cold. Highs ranged between 7 and 10 Celsius (45 – 50F). Normally temperatures would be nearer 17 or 18 Celsius (63 – 64F) at this time of year.A maximum temperature of 7C was recorded at Heathrow Airport and 8c at London Weather Centre making it the second coldest May day on record, according to the met office.The minimum was 4c at Heathrow on 29th.
One of the country's biggest carnivals in Luton, which was expected to attract around 100,000 people was cancelled.At 1500GMT temperatures were below 8C over an area from Surrey to the E Midlands and the Thames Valley, making it feel unusually cold here as the rain continued to fall.
Fresh snow fell on some of the higher peaks in the Highlands. Rainfall totals in 24 hours ending 1800GMT included Weybourne 54mm, Liscombe 56mm, Wattisham 60mm, Benson 62mm, High Wycombe 64mm and St Catherine's Point 81 mm. Max. temperatures were Killowen 14.7C, Kenley 6.6C ,and minimum Cairngorm -2c.
The IMD has announced the advance of the South West Monsoon over Kerala on 28th. May.
Bang on target, as expected, after the moving away of the W.D., the south west winds regrouped fast, and even formed a low pressure off shore trough off the west coast of india,(as seen here on this IMD streamline map).
http://www.imd.gov.in/section/nhac/dynamic/hp925sa.htm( click and paste this if unable to direct click).
The "push effect" was fast, as I was only expecting the winds to pick up from today, and take a day or two, but it has actually pushed the monsoon current into the south west coast, where ,in Kerala, heavy rainfall ranging from 40- 120 mms was reported today.
Due to this sudden thrust, I think the actual winds from the south west may take 2 days more to again gain the required momentum to again push the monsoon northwards. The satellite image today shows clouds off the southern tip and Kerala, but more gathering of clouds are needed in the central Arabian Sea for a further movement north of the monsoon. Due to the low pressure trough persisting off the west coast, further thickening of heavy clouds in the central and eastern Arabian Sea will take place in a few days , and further northward movement of the monsoon may take 2/3 days time.
The highest temperature in the sub continent today was 44 degrees at Nagpur and Nawabshah. But with the moving away of the W.D. from the northern areas of the sub continent, the Sindh areas of Pakistan, and Rajasthan in India will see a sudden rise in day temperatures, maybe to around 46-47 in a day or two. Interestingly, stations in Saudi Arabia
Dhahran Airport recorded 47 ,Al Ahsa Airport and Dammam Airport recorded 46° today. This augments well for the monsoon, as the seasonal low of the monsoon has to spread upto the Arabian Peninsula by the time the monsoon starts in the sub continent.
Karachi, which had shot up to 42 degress 2 days ago, can expect a return to 35/36 degrees. As the Arabian sea breeze has now rearranged itself, the north wind from the interiors, having caused the sudden rise have abated.
Mumbai, is getting more humid and stuffy. The temperatures are now at present ranging from 35 in the day to only 29 as the minimum, with high humidity levels. But with the situation showing signs of the monsoon progressing soon, initial pre monsoon showers could be expected in Mumbai around 31 May.
Please give your comments and suggestions at kapadias@gmail.com
As indicated in "MW"-17, the W.D. is today moving across Northern India and Pakistan. Rain has been reported from many places today in North India, and the temperatures were below normal all over the North (India and Pakistan). Now, this is in sharp contrast to the heat that was prevailing in late April and upto mid May. Different forecasts have been seen on the future behavior of this W.D.
IMD expects this W.D. to move away in two days, while some models expect the W.D. to hang around the region for a week more, that is till 2/3 June.
So long as this is in place, the SW Monsoon can not proceed northwards. Personally, looking at the situation, "push effect" from the Southern Hemisphere cross winds is likely to move the W.D. away in two days, and get the monsoon current back on stream from 28th.May. The anti clock-wise wind movement is flattening (luckily),and the streamline shows some re-grouping. The south West winds should pick up from early next week, and bring in the cloud formation of the monsoon again in the Arabian Sea and a low pressure to form off the west coast of India around 1 June. Hence, I expect the monsoon to be in Kerala by the 1/2 June.
The sea temperature of the Arabian Sea is also at 31, which is ok to form convective clouds, when the cross winds bring in the moisture.
A small strip of sea temperature off the Somali coast should be low, at 18-20 degrees about 10 days before the monsoon clouds arrive on the West coast of India. The stronger the temperature gradiant between the strip and the vast area of the Arabian Sea, stronger the impact on the monsoonal winds, forcing them towards the east. Today, the strip off the Somali coast is at around 25 degrees, and cooling every day.
Also, if the prevailing W.D. moves away in a day, the northern regions and areas of Sindh and central India can expect a sudden revival of the heat. This will help in the quick formation of the seasonal monsoon low in a week or so.
But the rain I mentioned in the last blog, coming up the west coast of India this weekend is not to be mistaken for the monsoon. These rains are due to the upper westerly trough of the W.D. and will move eastwards. The interior areas of Karnataka and TamilNadu are bound to get rains this week end as a result of this westerly trough moving eastwards. But these rains will dry up, as the real monsoon current closes in from behind, and this monsoon current will travel north.
A look at todays streamline of the Arabian Sea, shows a totally messed up view (check the IMD site). An anti clock-wise wind formation seems to be churning the sea, indicating, maybe the formation of a high pressure ! The winds along the west coast of India is North-South,and the wind discontinuaty off the Oman coast has produced cloud formations in the southern parts of Oman. A sharp contrast from the superb cross equatorial flow we saw 10 days back. And as a result, the massive cloud formation in the Arabian sea has all but vanished today.
Now, all this has resulted because of the W.D.'s ruling the northern parts of the sub continent for the past week. The result is normal to below normal temperatures all along central and northern India and Pakistan, and the forecast of another W.D. coming (IMD) is going to result in more lower than normal temperatures for a few more days. (In the extreme north, Pahalgam,Kashmir had a low of 3 on the 23rd.).
[Just compare the temperatures in Pakistan a year ago, on 27th. May 2006
ISLAMABAD 23.5 41.7 QUETTA 19.5 35.5 SIBBI 33.1 50.1 JACOBABAD 31.2 51.0 ROHRI 28.3 49.0 NAWBSHAH 27.5 47.2 HYDERABAD 27.0 42.5. KARACHI 26.2 35.0
Temperatures, hot enough to produce a sub continent low of 994 mb. This year the same low is stuck at 998 mb.]
A spell of rain and thundershowers is projected to move up the west coast of India upto Gujarat, this week end, as mentioned by Jim, in his latest blog. But this should not be mistaken for the arrival of the monsoon.
I think (and hope), that the monsoon regrouping of winds and clouds should restart from 28th. May, after the W.D. moves away. We can still hope to see the monsoon arriving around the normal date.

This report was concerning freakish weather, and I thought was important;
Beaches in South East Asia reopened on Monday after giant waves triggered by intense winds thousands of kilometres away crashed ashore last week, reviving memories of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The waves, which were 7 metres (23 feet) high in some areas , struck large parts of Indonesia, the Maldives, Thailand and Western Australia. There was no official warning about the freakish waves that killed at least one person, damaged hundreds of homes and displaced thousands of people. Weather officials said the waves were the result of an accumulation of winds in one spot on the ocean, but were looking at why they were so intense. The phenomenon was likely caused by Kelvin waves, giant waves caused by a surge of irregular wind patterns in the Indian Ocean. It could have easily been predicted because such waves commonly occur around this time. "However, we didn't expect the waves to be of this size, that's why we need to analyse the other factors first before arriving at a conclusion." The European Space Agency said the huge waves were generated by intense storm winds in the Southern Ocean.
The line of a couple of W.D.'s has trimmed the heat in the subcontinent persistently since the last 5/6 days. Today the highest was 44°,(only), again in Machillipatnam and in Nawabshah. In a most of the places the days were normal to below normal.
IMD and international models forecast another two W.D.'s coming from Pakistan into N.India between the 22nd. and 27th. May. Even though these will be in the form of lows in the" upper atmosphere", they will bring rain and thunder showers to N.Pakistan and N.India, as a result keeping the temperatures around the normal levels through this week.
In fact, today, the smooth flow of the south westerlies from the Arabian Sea was broken due to the W.D. movement. A line discontinuaty in the winds has formed off the Oman coast in the Arabian Sea. The progress of the weak low, already formed off the Africa coast, will be stagneted and can strenghten only when the low aloft forms a trough from Pakistan southwards.(That is after the passing away of the W.D.).
Hence the week commencing 28th.May should see the monsoon winds in the Arabian Sea getting organised and re curving again towards the west coast of India.
Meanwhile the Bay branch of the monsoon has moved north, and should hit the hills of the north eastern region of India in two days, by the 24th. Normally, the monsoon hits Kerala and the North east region on the same date on 1st. June. But this year,the Bay monsoon current is early, an the monsoon could have kept its normal arrangement in the Arabian Sea branch too, but for the "out of place" W.D.'s.
As is said, man proposes, but God disposes !
The W.D. in the northern region has been restricted a bit to the North, but not enough, as it has pushed off the heat wave. As the temperature map from IMD shows, the heat wave is now restricted to a small area in the east, and much of the subcontinent is normal, or even below normal.
The temperatures are fairly "moderate'' and the highest in the subcontinent today was Machhillipatnam(east India) at 45° and then Nawabshah and Jacobabad at 44°.
Now this has weakened the south westerly flow from the Arabian Sea temporarily, due to poor temperature gradiant, and as this streamline from IMD shows, the south westerly flow has somewhat bifurcated into two parts, that is weakened, from the western Arabian Sea area.
The cooling of the sea waters off the Somali coast has also slowed down to some extent, and as a result, the pushing of the mass of monsoon clouds towards the Indian shores has halted, as of today, near the 60°E line as seen in this satellite image from NCEP.Image also shows the weak clouding of the W.D.in the North.
But I think this may have only delayed the monsoon date by a few days (from 24th. May). As the W.D. weakens, the South West winds should regain strenght, and bring back the monsoon cloud mass towards Kerala, maybe a few days later towards the end of May. The COLA site at http://wxmaps.org/pix/prec6.html indicates a burst of monsoon over Kerala between 28th. May and 3rd. June.
Due to the reversal of the sea breeze,the temperatures in Chennai have been high at 42°, since the last few days.
The flow in the Arabian Sea is getting stronger, and the cloud formation in the sea has started forming near the warm edge of the central Arabian sea. This indicates, and the sea temperatures also show, the required cooling of the waters off the Somali coast.This cooling pushes the massive cloud formation in the Arabian Sea eastwards. All ok till here.
But a slight let-up in the heat over the India Subcontinent is seen since a few days . About 45 °,mostly in the east. The culpritis and will be one or more Western Disturbances due in the next 4/5 days. Now W.D.'s are known to shield the northern movement of the monsoon, if they are large enough. So, lets only hope this line of a couple of W.D.'s coming do not upset the as yet smooth approach of the monsoon. We will have to wait and observe !Not too sure still !
Cyclone Akash quickly crossed into Bangladesh coast and fizzled out. Now there seems to be a few days of lull in the Bay.
The temperatures over a larger part of the sub continent are almost at normal levels since the last couple of days, with a few hot spots today like Jacobabad at 49°, Nawabshah and Sibi at 46° andHissar at 45°. The sea level pressure is falling over central India and adjoining Pakistan, and is now at 995mb.
Strong winds are now blowing south to north off the Somali coast, portending quick cloudiness in the Arabian Sea. The ECMWF has forecasted the formation of a low in the central Arabian Sea on the 22nd. of May. It also projects the same low becoming stronger (maybe a deep depression) by the 24th. and crossing the North Maharashtra coast on the 25th. But this needs daily watching, for even though the wind and sea temperatures support such a formation, the actuality may be different.
Continuing from the last "MW", it seems the estimate that the monsoon will cover the Bay in 10 days time holds good. The depression in the Bay, has now become deep, and may even become a cyclone. It is heading north, and as per the forecast by ECMWF, the system will intensify into a cyclone and cross West Bengal coast by May 17th. The monsoon will be pulled with this system to the Bengal coast and the North East region.
Meanwhile the heat wave in the north has abated, and thanks to some duststorms and thundershowers, the temperatures have come to near normal levels. But mild heat wave conditions prevail in the Vidharbh region.The highest in India and Pakistan today was 45° at Nagpur and Nawabshah.
Still, the U.S. based COLA, indicates a "burst" of rains starting over Kerala around the 21/22 of May. The ECMWF predicts a low in the Arabian Sea around the 23rd. of May, thus on similar lines, predicting rains in Kerala from around the 24th. of May. Thus, early Monsoon, by a week, is estimated by international projections.
Even the current streamlines show strong south west winds, pulled by the deep depressoin in the Bay, at the Sri Lanka coast.
As indicated in "MW-11', the cross equirorial flow has developed well, and recurves across the Somali coast perfectly.This belt of strong southwesterly wind is known as the `Somali Jet`; it is an essential part of the whole SW Monsoon circulation.This map from the IMD shows the strong gush of south westerlies developing near the Andamans and the Sri Lanka coast.
Also the heat wave has now established a heat low in central India,and pressures of 999 mb. has developed around M.P. Thus the heat low over North India and the low over central India form a vertical trough.
Now, both the above situations are normally established around the 20th. of May. After this the vertical trough tilts a bit and becomes a little horizontal, creating "on set" conditions, and then becomes fully horizontal, with the east end in the Bay after the monsoon has set in.
The monsoon over south Andamans now, should also move north in a day or two, and cover the Bay area in another 10 days time before reaching the Bengal coast and North East area.
But this year, as yet, things are moving fast and if this rate of development continues, and if nothing changes the situation, the monsoon can strike Sri Lanka by 18th. and Kerala by the last week of May.
Mumbai can get pre monsoon showers in the last week of May, and regular monsoon rains by 1st. June. Till then, hot, humid days and nights !
It was my observation in "MW -10", that the trail of the last depression in the bay was pulling the south west winds into the Andaman area.Since yesterday, the South Andaman area is experiancing south west winds and rain. The cross equitorial winds have now 'gracefully ' recurved along the line of the equator into the south west direction, thus indicating that the ITCZ is now along the equator.
Thus, according to me, it can be said that the south west monsoon has set in over the South Andaman Sea, upto the 10° line.(The normal date for this region is 15th.May).
As Jim, international weather expert, states in his blog of Monday, 7th. May, quote,"While in South East Asia, I believe it is safe to say that the South West Monsoon has set in over most of Indochina and southern Myanmar."
The sub continent heating continues,with Jacobabad at 47.5°, and Bhawalnagar at 47.3°, and some places in India at 45° today. Unusual today was Karachi at 40°.
As anticipated, the bay did host a low,wich became well marked on the 4th. On the 5th. it moved rapidly north, and crossed the coast of Myanmar as a depression. Now,the entire bay is warm enough to welcomethe monsoon current of the bay branch. It is around 31° - 32° all along from the Bengal coast to the Andamans,thus behind the last low, south westerlies are prevailing over the Andamans,and more rain is predicted there, as as per my observations, the cross equitorial winds are crossing the equator below the bay and aiming at the Andamans, thus assuring the monsoon there within a few days.
This is as far as the Bay branch is concerned. As regards the Arabian Sea branch (which hits the mainland), the cross equitorial winds are now only turning towards the Arabian Sea, and are gaining strenght near the Somali coast. Another 15 days from now and the winds should be strong enough to bring the monsoon clouds to kerala any time after 25th. May. This is possible,as the heat gradiant required to pull the winds is building up and will get stronger as the heat wave is forcasted from Monday onwards.The renewed heat may see temperatures as high as 48-49° in Pakistan,and 47° in Rajasthan and Vidharb region of Maharastra.
The north south trough prevails from central India to peninsula,and has created relief thunderstorms. But this was a temporary respite to some areas,larger parts of North,central and peninsula India are to experiance a fresh heat wave.
Monsoon Watch - 9
The bay temperature has now been steadily constant at 31-32°, and is sufficiently ready to host a low. Hence with the formation of an "UAC", it is expected that this"UAC" will descend to form the first "low" of the season in a day or two.This formation will surely be triggered by the "shoot-outs" from the ITCZ, which is at present located near the Malaysian area. If the "low" gains and attracts the heavy cloud formation around it, and the southwesterlies currently prevailing over the Malaysia area migrate northwest, it could herald the setting of the South West Monsoon in the South Andaman Sea around the 8th. of May.
The ITCZ movement northwards is to be followed for the mainland, as when it is near the Southern tip of India and SriLanka, the monsoon gets triggered on.But to reach this lattitude, at the present rate of developments, should be in around 25 days from now.
Meanwhile the heat wave over India/Pakistan continues, with Bhawalnagar(Pakistan) topping 47° , and Hissar and Akola at 46° yesterday. Today it was Jacobabad and Bhawalnagar(Pakistan) at 46° and Ganganagar (India) at 45° among the highest.
