Electricity generation from German solar installations topped national wind generation in May for the first time. Together, wind and solar are ousting conventional forms of generation, prompting major new investment in the transmission system. But predicting exactly where and how much new transmission capacity is needed is a tall order for transmission system operators (TSOs) and the federal energy regulator.
Solar output reached 4.15TWh in May compared with 2.89TWh of wind generation, according to energy analyst Spider Energy. The last time solar came close to topping wind was in July 2010 when wind output reached 1.58TWh and solar 1.57TWh, the analysis of electricity trading data reveals. Around 27GW of solar capacity is currently installed in Germany compared with around 29GW of onshore and offshore wind.
Although the weather obviously plays a role in how much wind or solar energy is generated, solar's performance in May made it clear that photovoltaic is now on a par with wind in terms of generation capability and is also swiftly becoming cheaper. Already, on days when national electricity demand is low, coal and gas fired stations are often largely ousted from the generation mix, either by wind, by solar or by a mix of both.
This has implications for the country's electricity transmission system. The main locations for coal, lignite and nuclear power stations are different to those of the mainly decentralised photovoltaic plants, the largely rural locations for wind farms more often found in northern Germany, and offshore stations in the North and Baltic Seas. Some power transmission routes are becoming much more heavily trafficked and new routes need building, while other routes are required to a lesser extent.
In preparation for the new network investment required, Germany's four transmission system operators (TSOs) are currently drawing up a masterplan to establish what is needed. The plan will be adjusted year by year to take potential new developments into account such as swift wind and solar expansion in southern Germany or expansion of electricity storage, which could reduce transmission need.
The draft network development plan - NDP2012 - presented at the end of May by TSOs is based on three scenarios for development that were accepted as plausible by the federal energy regulator, Bundesnetzagentur last December. After consultation and potential adjustments, the plan is due to be ready by the end of the year.
System investment
The investment of EUR19-23 billion foreseen in the first draft of NDP2012 for the next ten years will make Germany's transmission system fit for the future, said Hermann Albers, president of Germany's wind energy association Bundesverband Windenergie (BWE). Albers said the existing network is totally outdated and that the expansion of renewables, increased interconnection with other European networks and the future feed in of conventional power stations renders it no longer fit for purpose.
This investment would cost the consumer an extra EUR0.004 per kWh, according to the federation of new energy suppliers, BNE, around EUR16 per year for an average household. But further costs are looming, warned the BNE in June, referring to reports that EUR25 billion more needs to be spent on the local electricity networks and up to EUR17 billion on offshore cables to shore.
Some question whether such large investments are really necessary. A reduction in electricity consumption and accelerated expansion of wind in southern Germany could make much of the planned new onshore cable routes superfluous, said environment organisation BUND.

Best truck I have had
By Robert on Friday, June 14, 2019This is my 10th F150 and never had any issues with any of them. This 2017 STX eco boost with 2.7 engine is by far the best over all in comfort, ride and performance.

Better than the 2013 Platinum
By old dude on Friday, June 30, 2017I stepped down from a Platinum to a Lariat, but the Lariat is not a step down. The 3.5 L Ecoboost with the 10 speed trany is a huge step up. New electronic additions like auto high beams, blind spot aid, improved rear camera with trailer hook up help, improved voice command structure and Android connectivity make the 2017 truly a pleasure to drive. Freeway entry is easy and safe even in heavy traffic because of the power and quickness of the V-6 and 10 speed. I have owned 2 King Ranch superdutys and the F 150 Plaimun, but this is without a doubt the best of them all.

Top of the full size class.
By CollierFL on Sunday, September 03, 2017After owning several Chevy full size trucks. I decided to test drive Ford and Ram in addition to Chevy while shopping for a new vehicle. I was very impressed with the Ford from the nice interior layout and engine options. I felt after driving all three trucks the Ford was my best option. I have nearly 12,000 miles on the truck and have not had one issue.Im very pleased with my Ford purchase.

INDIAN LAND – Tucked away in the Black Horse Run neighborhood, on one acre of land, is a place where horses hurt on the outside get healed on the inside.
Resident Katie Holme runs Healing Horses, a program for abused horses. Horses like Dakota Messenger, a Standardbred she recently found at an auction, come to Holme in bad shape, with cuts and wounds over their dingy coats, ribs and hip bones jutting out from starvation and the baggage of behavior problems that come from being mistreated.

The head of a goat was left inside a box for ChicagoCubs owner Tom Ricketts.
An unidentified person dropped the box off with security at Wrigley Field and asked that it be given to Ricketts. The police were called instead.
There was no note inside the box, and police are still looking for whoever dropped it off.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the goat had a Department of Agriculture tag on its ear.
Neither Ricketts nor the Cubs have commented.
Billy goats and the Cubs have been unfortunately linked since 1945, after Chicago tavern owner Bill "Billy Goat" Sianis pronounced a curse on the club on October 6 of that year.
The team's record hasn't been the same since, and it has garnered the nickname "the Lovable Losers."
Fans have made many attempts over the years to put an end to the curse, according to the Cubs' website.
A Chicago charity, Reverse The Curse, was founded in 2011 and donates goats to impoverished communities around the world in the name of stopping it.
Last May, a group of five Cubs fans took a goat named "Wrigley" on a trek across the country in an attempt to lift the curse. It didn't work.
The Chicago team finished the 2012 season with 61 wins and 101 losses.
The CNN Wire contributed to this report.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Armed with a talented crop of new runners combined with seasoned, quality veterans, the Georgia College & State University cross country teams open up the 2010 schedule Friday, Sept. 10, playing host to the Bobcat Invitational on the West Campus Cross Country Course. The women's 5K starts at 4 p.m., with the men's 8K set to start immediately after the first race's finish.
"We've improved on both sides over last season," said head coach Joe Samprone, "and both teams had outstanding seasons a year ago. The women took second in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Meet, with the men battling injuries and illnesses to take fifth."
On the men's side senior Tim Cary (Monroe, Ga.) led the team at three races a year ago, and will be challenged by a well-seasoned junior class of Rob Manning (Lawrenceville, Ga.), Travis Knight (Oxford, Ga.) and Colin Conroy (Dacula, Ga.). Also in the mix thanks to strong preseason and offseason conditioning is junior Daniel Horseman (Cohutta, Ga.). Horseman was one of the often-injured runners a season ago, and given the chance to get healthy, could prove to be a leader this season.
A fresh crop of newcomers will take a team that was 5-6 runners deep in 2009, and increase the output to potentially an eight-deep squad. Tyler Mattix (Snellville, Ga.) transfers in from North Georgia, where he was an All-PBC runner a year ago. Mattix comes in as a junior after North Georgia cancelled its cross country program.
"Tyler has both ability and experience at this level," said Samprone. "Our crop of incoming freshmen has many runners that could take spots in our top five this season. This is the first time they've had to run the 8K distance, as high school races are shorter. It'll be interesting to see who has the endurance."
The Bobcat men lost one runner that was consistent in the top five, graduated senior Josh Hollar, and add three-or-four runners that could place in the top five, according to Samprone.
On the women's side, senior captain Dani Destiche (Snellville, Ga.), joins forces with another crop of strong juniors in Karissa Ekstrom (Alpharetta, Ga.), Sarah Balkcom (Fayetteville, Ga.) and Victoria Dobson (New Hamburg, Ontario).
Gone are a trio of strong graduated seniors in Bonnie Nikelin, Virginia Balkcom and Heather Raines. That threesome produced plenty of regular top-five times for the team, including an All-PBC finish for Balkcom in 2009, and a pair of PBC Runner of the Week honors for Raines, now a graduate assistant coach for the 'Cats.
These runners pulled together a second-place finish at the conference meet, the only runner-up finish in school history. Samprone believes several new freshman will step in to fill their shoes and "neither team will be diminished at all".
High school female runners compete in 5K races, so rookie runners are more prone to make an immediate impact. "Thanks to a great off-season, a team that was 6-7 runners deep a year ago is now 7-8 runners deep," according to Samprone.
Catch the Bobcat harriers Friday, Sept. 10 at 4 p.m. on the school's West Campus.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

As we gear up for Saturday's race, we asked IronmanLive Hosts Matt Lieto and Michael Lovato to make their predictions on the winners.
Michael Lovato's picks
IRONMAN 70.3 St. George, the U.S. Pro Championship is taking place this Saturday, May 3 in St. George, Utah, and an absolutely stellar field will gather on the shores of Sand Hollow Reservoir to vie for the win, along with the 1,500 points that go along with it. Fitting for a championship event, the St. George race course is one of the most challenging on the 70.3 circuit. The variable weather in Southern Utah adds to this challenge, as athletes have faced choppy waters, extreme winds, and high heat in past years.While the swim and bike will definitely test the strength and fitness of each athlete, it's the St. George run course that will truly separate the winners from the pack. Hills like the ones these athletes will run up and down on Saturday are the types that bruise the toenails, bloody the feet, wreck the egos and shred the quads.
Kessler again?
The women's race is headlined by last year's champ Meredith Kessler, one of the sport's toughest and most consistent racers. Not many athletes can carry a top-level fitness from January to November, but Kessler seems to have figured out that formula. This means she'll be as competitive on Saturday as she will be on the lava fields in October.The adopted local, Heather Wurtele, is fresh off an impressive win at California 70.3 - capped off with a 1:17 run split that shows she's ready to improve upon last year's third place (and 1:24 run). Before she began her impressive foray into IRONMAN domination, Mary Beth Ellis had secured two runner-up finishes at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, and I believe she's got the guns in all three sports to make some heads roll in Utah. Her toughness factor sets a new bar for the women, and being tough is a prerequisite for performing well in St. George.
After these three women snag the top three spots, a talented roster of women will continue to battle for the remaining money spots. Angela Naeth, Linsey Corbin, Emma Kate Lidbury, and Jodie Swallow should be well within range of one another as they near the finish line.
And the winners are:
1. Meredith Kessler
2. Heather Wurtele
3. Mary Beth Ellis
4. Emma Kate Lidbury
5. Angela Naeth
Runner's race?
The men's race is going to be a very uncomfortable affair from the outset of the swim. The ITU crossovers will no doubt apply a dose of pressure to the field from the gun, and an elite pack will begin to form as the athletes tackle the rolling hills from Sand Hollow to town. Once they are out on the backside of the course, I believe we'll see a 10- to 15-person peloton leave the other would-be contenders behind. In this race, a come-from-behind solo bike effort is going to cost too much to the rider to leave anything left for a competitive run on this course.
To be in the group assures you a top finish, or a massive blow-up, or maybe even both.
Being present in the group, but being relatively unseen, will be the winning tactic. The athlete who chooses not to let his ego hang out in the wind until late in the half marathon will be our St. George champion.
Looking past Jan Frodeno is foolhardy, as he's already shown that he can dispose of the world's best half-distance athletes. Dominating Panama and Oceanside in the early steps of the run has given him victory twice this year. To do that again, he's going to have to dispatch another hungry and speedy athlete by the name of Tim Don. Not many in this field have the foot speed to keep contact over the opening miles, but the world champ Brit can do just that.
Andy Potts will be out for a bit of revenge after losing too many steps to Frodeno in California last month. Potts hates to lose, and he definitely hates to lose at his own game, an anaerobic power-punching contest.Others who will play in the overall picture, but won't have the legs to close the deal include Gambles, Docherty, Bozzone, Tim Reed and Collington. My winning five is as follows:
1. Tim Don
2. Jan Frodeno
3. Andy Potts
4. Sebastian Kienle
5. Tim Reed
Matt Lieto's musings
Stacked is a word I feel is used a little too often these days to describe the quality of a race field. For this weekend's St. George U.S. Pro Championships, stacked seems to be the only appropriate word. If everyone on the start list shows up ready to race, this will be a most epic battle in both the men's and women's races. So many great athletes with different strengths/weaknesses and a few with seemingly none of the latter.
The course this weekend will also surely add to the drama come the meat of the race. It is an absolutely beautiful but unforgiving course that will bring some of these athletes to their knees. The bike course has some good texture to it with lots of good rollers and some steep pitches the first 35 miles with a tough climb coming around mile 38. The course mostly descends into T2, but a stiff wind would could keep the athletes working all the way home. The run is brutal. No flat at all the entire way, just ups and downs with some super steep grades. Mix this with the forecasted high temps in the 90s and things will get tough those last few miles.
Cyclists chase
The men's field is a who's who of world champs, Olympic champs, national champs and almost full of 70.3 and Ironman champions. The pace is going to be full gas from the horn and I expect to see a very elite group of 10 to 12 racers forming the initial "lead group" on the swim/bike. Behind these athletes will be complete chaos as riders chase to try to bridge early on some of the climbs on course. With a stellar "cyclists" field containing Sebastian Kienle, Ben Hoffman, Maik Twelsiek, Michael Weiss and Jordan Rapp possibly being a a chase situation, you can bet that the group will be under pressure to keep the pace up the entire ride. The run will be a battle of who was able to stay with that front group from the beginning and who still has the leg speed to really let it go on the way home. A strong runner will do well, but to win this race, you'll either need a large gap off the bike, or 1:11 foot speed to run down those hills effectively.
Ok, enough explanation, The picks. Certainly Tim Don, Andy Potts, Brent Mcmahon, and Ben Hoffman will make me eat my words for not picking them top five, but sometimes you've got to roll the dice!
Jan Frodeno is the pick, simply because he truly made it look easy at Oceanside and has the tools to get it done against the fastest in the sport. He looked to have jogged his way to a 1:11 run split and was in control all day. Oh, and he's won the Olympics, so he's got some turnover.
Terrenzo Bozzone had a great 2013 with five, yes five 70.3 wins and a silver medal at 70.3 Worlds and has two podium finishes already this year amongst tough fields. He can run up and down hills well and has the Ironman strength to suffer on a tough day.
Sebastian Kienle will do what he always does, absolutely lay it out there. This course is very similar to the one he's won two world championships on, and with a wetsuit swim here he could be in the lead even earlier into the bike. He is a great runner, but will need four minutes to be able to hold off the best runners in the sport.
Joe Gambles is somehow still underrated even after his podium at last year's worlds, but a course like this one is tailor-made for "Smokin Joe". He is one of the more dynamic riders and runners on the steeps and will certainly make the field hurt when he moves to the front.
Paul Matthews will be riding high after a second place at Melbourne not long ago and will take that confidence into a top placing this weekend. Swim front group, ride front group and grunt his way up and down those hills with the best of them.
Rolling the Dice
The women's field is just a deep as the men's. Too many super-fast ladies to comfortably pick a favorite, so I guess it's back to rolling dice. The race dynamic here will definitely play into how the late stages of the run go in the women's race. Not always tactical racing for the ladies, but this go around with all the fast swimmers and cyclists around I think it will come into play. You will definitely have some front runners that hold from start to finish, but I think the success will come from the patient athlete that plays to their strengths and runs that last six miles the best. In other words, go out too fast and out of your comfort zone, and the competition here mixed with the conditions will make a victory very tough.
The picks.
Heather Wurtele is the one with the momentum and one of the few who doesn't have an Ironman in her legs so far this year. She stunned the field in Oceanside with a 1:17 run and, with a "home course" advantage here, her steady "race to her best" strategy will pay off with a top step.
Mary Beth Ellis is so good at racing from the front it's hard for me to look past Ellis in this race. She is as tough as tough gets and I think that, coupled with a great swim/bike/and Ironman strength on the run, she'll be close at the end.
Meredith Kessler: no reason not to pick her for the win here again, but have to give someone else a go right? She is absolutely hard as nails and will get to the front of the race and do her best to stay there as long as possible. She will need a fast run to get it done, but is certainly more than capable.
Angela Naeth loves tough courses and loves warm races. Seems like a good match. She'll be a bit back out of the water, but will use the bike as her weapon to get near the front of the race. Her small frame will do well on the tough run. It is just a matter of how recovered she is from IRONMAN Melbourne.
Linsey Corbin is tough and with a renewed confidence in her run strength, I expect to see the IRONMAN Los Cabos champ tough it out to a great finish this weekend. The tougher the day the better we'll see Linsey do come finish time.

5. Maintain a Healthy Weight
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two out of every three American adults are overweight and more than one-third are clinically obese. This obesity is widespread throughout the United States. As of 2011, all 50 states had obesity prevalence rates in excess of 20 percent. Obesity rates for children are approximately 17 percent and have tripled since 1980.
Of course, this has serious implications since there is a direct link between a sedentary lifestyle, obesity and diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke and gallbladder disease. If your body mass index, BMI, (a relative measure of body height to body weight) is in the overweight or obese category, your most important heart-health goal is to reduce your body fat.

6. Know Your Numbers
There are four numbers you should be aware of: blood pressure, cholesterol level, blood sugar level and BMI.
7. Get Regular Check-Ups
There is no better way to identify early indicators of potential heart disease than regular trips to your general practitioner. So go get a check-up this year.
More: 6 Tests That Can Save You From a Heart Attack
8. Avoid Destructive Behaviors
This should go without saying but I will say it anyway. If you don't smoke that's great. Make sure you never start. If you smoke, you need to stop. While that is much easier said than done, you should consider the massive health risks smokers incur. In addition to respiratory problems and lung cancer, smoking is a major cause of coronary artery disease.
The risk of heart disease greatly increases with every cigarette, so use that as a motivation to quit. Excessive alcohol use, particularly binge drinking, is another problem when it comes to heart health because it can damage the heart muscle, increase blood pressure and cause weight gain.

thanks Kevin. Perhaps yours was owned by a member of the Temperance Society
I have some table glass from the late C18/early C19, and several spirit squares, and as you say there is usually a greyish/steel tint - but I'm not sure that I'd be able to say where a grey tint ends and a blue might take over - should I ever see something with a blue tint that is.
I'm not well up on this 'blue myth', but makes you wonder whether someone got carried away looking at a strong grey tint, perhaps in the wrong light, and thought they were looking at blue.
Once you've seen Georgian lead coloured glass, it's unmistakable, and as you say, it has nothing like the brightness of modern glass. As to the acclaimed better sparkle of C18 cut glass, it may be true - possible because of the lack of acid polishing which seems to have become an habit of economy in the C20 when cleaning up the cutting, and dulls the sharper reflective qualities.
We mustn't forget that most of the big C20 factories produced copies of ealier patterns/designs, prior to 1940 ish - W/Fs, Richardsons, E. & L. and Walsh amongst them - and it was the Georgian fashion they seemed mostly to copy, so your example might well be from such a source, and let's not forget that these names did produce high quality glass, whether contemporary or historic in style. Unfortunately, I've never knowlingly seen such 'reproduction' piece from any of those factories, but had assumed that the colour would be brighter than an original.
However, not so apparently, as Andy McConnell cites a page from one of Richardsons catalogues dated 1916 on which it clearly states that "reproduction of a George III decanter etc. etc...........is to be made in old glass, and with stoppers rough fitted". The 'old glass' implying that they where replicating the C18 colour - and you may also be aware of Andy's story concerning one Stourbridge maker who employed someone to rub the feet of wine glasses on a doorstop to deliberately age the pieces.
One apparently reliable method of determining age on decanters is to try sliding a piece of paper under the base - where the decanter doesn't touch the table the paper should slip under, and therefore the base (of the decanter) should appear (in that area) devoid of wear. I've never tried it - my few pieces seem covered in dull matt wear all over their bottoms.
I agree that colour and wear are probably the most critical characteristics that I'd look for when assessing age, but less than perfect cutting is also important, along with seeds and lack of symmetry in areas like the neck, but it seems from Andy's comments that colour may be less reliable than we'd thought.
Having read Andy McConnell's posts above, you might be forgiven for thinking that his 'Decanter' book would have provided some illuminating new information on Mrs. G-S 'nefarious' activities on the alleged reproduction of Irish glass (not the 'Gray-Stan' material) - however, not so, and in a book running to something like 575 pages he offers no more than nine and a half lines of previously published information. He also reproduces the same picture of the lady as Hajdamach's plate 171. Can only assume that additional unpublished information proved impossible to come by - but who knows - I understand Andy has declared his intention to reprint the book with a view to providing more information on C20 material - fingers crossed.
Regret I can't really comment on your decanter - I don't have any Irish examples - old or reproduction.......but, having just looked through Phelps Warren I can appreciate your difficulties. All the features on your decanter seem to agree with the originals, but then I don't have your one in my hand, and this might make all the difference - seeing it in the flesh so to speak, so suggest you contact Andy
P.S. Andy McConnell's book is invaluable - I wouldn't be without it, and my comments about the G-S matter were simply one of surprise bearing in mind Andy's earlier discussions requesting information on the lady and linking this to his book. I know it's expensive - let's hope the reprint isn't too far away.

I have the Andy McConnell book, and if he is going to update it I am definitely buying another. I also have the Warren Phelps book too, but I don't have the 20th Century Glass book. I really should get it as that is where I am a little weak.
As a peak into my collection, I put up pictures of 2 real Irish decanters, one late 18thC and one early 19thC, and 2 copies, one a copy of a late 18thC and the other a copy of a pair of early 19thC decanters. The thing from pictures is it's difficult to tell, it's when you get them in your grubby hands that you can really tell. The copy of the late 18thC decanter has one give away and that is that the peg of the stopper is polished. If you notice that, you know its a copy. Once you have them in your hands, one thing that does make it obvious is the quality of the cutting. Modern cutting often feels more perfect and neither of these copy decanters tries to deceive on that front.
I have a load of old books on glass, and what it funny is that a few have this exact Cork Glass Co. bottle, and I wonder, if they have the real thing or one like mine.

"............oh, what a moron
Of course yours isn't from such a source........it's got 'The Cork Glass Co.' on the base ..... apologies Kevin, I knew it was too late at night for typing.
I agree with you re older clear glass, there is no substitute for handling the piece - screen pictures simply do not provide the sort of detail that is essential for determining colour, and other subtleties of age or otherwise - it's always difficult even with good pictures. People who collect coloured glass don't know how lucky they are
To be honest Kevin, I'm seeing the pix of your decanters with too much of an all over blue/grey colouring - they're lacking contrast - which suppresses detail - sorry to be picky.
Also agree with your comments about the nature of early cutting being less refined and accurate compared with C20 handiwork. On older pieces, mitres and other lines which travel for some distance around a shoulder or body, tend to waver and lose their shape occasionally on the way.
Unlike the base of yours, I think it's perhaps a little easier determining authenticity when a decanter base has been ground and polished to remove the remains of the pontil scar etc. - Georgian examples seem (to me) to have a quite distinctive appearance when finished in that area.
A down side of collecting decanters, especially from non-professional sources etc. is the frequency with which a body lacks its matching stopper, and a high proportion of charity shops, bric-a-brac venues and boot sales have this problem. So I've tried some random matching recently by doctoring a stopper or two with valve grinding paste - you do need a fairly good match to start with - but I've had some limited success.
Not sure if Peter (Oldglassman) said that Westropp's book was very expensive - but apparently very good...........he and Mrs. G-S clashed very publicly over the lady's 'Irish' pieces, and there's a very interesting piece in Hajdamach describing how Westropp had written to
Apollo magazine in the late 1940's, to criticize G. Bernard Hughes for supporting some of G-S's myths of Irish glass. The irony being that in later years G-S gave Westropp a gift of one of her 'art glass bowls' - which apparently is still in the Westropp family collection.
Don't know if you have this book and would recommend it.
Perhaps your bottle is bona fide after all

" Not sure if Peter (Oldglassman) said that Westropp's book was very expensive - but apparently very good "
Sorry not me , not got that 1 , and as for decanters I have never really been attracted to them except for 17thc examples.

Westropp's is on Abe Books for quite reasonable money.

Hi ,
probably the Rijksmuseum catalogues, 2 huge tomes which can cost £100 plus for the 2 , volume one is usually available somewhere but volume 2 seems hard to come by.

Lost knowledge is one of the greatest frustrations. We know text like G-S - and Fleming have been debunked. We know but it is not written down. 9 years ago Andy was on a trail but clearly flunked it. Her daughter certainly would have the opportunity to destroy much of the evidence and may well have done so to protect her own position in the society that her mother seemingly abused. Who was it that told me G-S had a glassworks in France producing pressed glass in the style of Lalique... nearly 30 years on from that info, no idea. Galle forgeries made in Japan, big scandal in the 1980s - story vanished they are all now regarded as genuine.
Further confounded by those who know the answers being reluctant to put on public record!

"bought colored kids"
A discussion about transracial adoption made me think of this piece by Kil Ja Kim, a Korean woman adopted by white American parents. This is fairly intense-- well, all of her stuff is intense-- and may be triggering for some folks.
Along with dreadlocks and a non-white lover, the coolest accessory of the white liberal "left" these days is a bought colored kid.
How many times have you walked into the office of a union organizer, or a professor of the humanities or social sciences to be confronted with a picture of their adopted non-white kid hanging on the wall (along with other random pictures of non-white people and some photos of more "famous" non-whites)? How many times have you marched with a white person in a rally against war who is holding up a sign that says "Down with US imperialism!" while they wheel their purchase—oops, I mean child—along? (and of course, these people never see any contradiction between their slogan—"Down with US imperialism"—and the non-white child they purchased) How many times have you seen LGBT white individuals and couples respond to homophobia against LGBT parented families by buying a colored kid, neglecting to consider their access to white supremacy even as LGBT people?
How many times have you been sitting in an activist meeting to have a white parent stand up and urgently talk about the racism that his or her "child" experiences as a person of color? How many times have you had to sit and watch how these white people are so delighted to tell non-whites what their child experiences as a person of color? How many times have you been confronted by a white person who demands access to a people of color space and use their bought kid as an entry pass (similar to when they use their non-white lover to get into places)?
Whatever the case, a white "liberal" or "leftist" person who adopted a colored kid is still a white person walking around with a purchased body of color.
Now of course, I can see some corny white people (along with their cornier non-white friends and lovers) getting all red in the face and telling me how much they have provided for the child, how lucky this child is to have a home, to have food. Then, the white liberal or "leftist" will put out their information and historical knowledge on the structural conditions colored kids face. Then, they give their speech about what the children go through and how they're saving non-white children. All the while the white person is about to have an orgasm from the pleasure of "schooling" non-white people about their history and conditions.
Thanks, but I think a lot of us—adopted or not—already know what the kids go through. We live lives as non-white people, and many of us come from the conditions and countries whose histories you know so well and love to tell us about.
For myself, I am quite aware of what the trade off was. By buying me, my white parents "saved" me from sleeping on a concrete bed in the South Korean orphanage I was housed at until I came to the US when I was three and a half years old. This transaction gave me the "opportunity" to live a middle-class upbringing and to have an entry into the lives of white people.
Of course, I was never really a full member of the household. That is, it was clear that my presence in the house was something to be both ignored and monitored. On many times my family would say stuff to me like, "I love you. I don't see you as Korean. I see you as my daughter." Or, when debating immigration, my family would be quick to point out that my presence in the US was fine—it was all the other immigrants that had to "get the hell out of the country" (our presence is always "allowed" if white people can regulate it and determine the terms of acceptability). Often, my beloved family would make fun of how Asian people talked by speaking in a mock "Chinaman" voice, never batting an eye but getting really heated when I said something to them about it. Once, my father told me to "Get your wok and go" in front of his new wife, and they laughed and laughed.
But the white supremacy I experienced, like that others experience, is also highly sexualized. My father controlled my sexuality by making a point to tell me in high school that I was allowed to date only white guys and Asian guys (and of course, only guys). He monitored my friendships with Black, Latino/a and Arab men and Black women. For some reason, he obsessed over who I dated and hung out with in a way that he never did with my white sister. My father also obsessed over my body. For some reason, I was just way too big for him (read: for an Asian woman to be desired by white men), and so I have had a membership to a health club since I was thirteen years old.
Now I know that the white liberals and "leftists" I addressed earlier are saying, "Hey, we're not like that. We see your color. We see your race. We want you to have many different people of color to the house (so they can feel good at the "diversity" they allow). We think you should look however you want." And of course, these whites will be right there when all of this goes down. They will be learning the Korean, the Chinese, the Spanish, the Vietnamese, or the Black slang. Or, they will make a point to let you know that they knew all of this before they adopted a colored kid, an argument that indicates they have some kind of "insider" knowledge about our cultures that substantiates their transactions.
Or these white parents will enroll their children in cultural language and dance classes, trying to get their kids to learn Chinese and to take classical Chinese dance. They will try to get their Black kids to listen to hip hop. They will try to make their kids "authentic" minorities. They will push their children to have a "racial" outlook, to be "who they really are" (as if you know). Anything to maintain their authority (both literally and figuratively) of your racial identity. They will encourage their kids to be an activist against racism, even to challenge them as white parents.
They will do stuff to "prove" they are not "hierarchical" (yeah, but who paid for the kid?), such as allowing their children to call them by their first name and other such "crazy" liberal acts they pat themselves on the back for doing.
All of this is fine and good, white mommy and daddy. But what do you do when the child is not willing to work within your paradigm? What happens when the child stops taking your calls, cuts you off? What happens when the bought colored kid is repulsed at the sight of you, even the thought of you?
In other words, what happens when the bought colored kid begins to understand your role in white supremacy? What happens when we begin to see that we are part of a transaction in a global economy of white supremacy? What happens when the realization of all that went down occurs?
You snort and say with hostility, hey, we never stood in the way of you and your culture. You were the one that felt uncomfortable around Koreans for a long time. You were the one that didn't want to take Korean language classes. You will point out that you did "your job" and it is my fault that I didn't respond.
Some of you will point out that you even offered to help your bought kids find their "biological" parents (a distinction that serves your need to be the "real" parent).
I guess you don't get it. The whole point is, there is nothing you can do to make shit better. You're white in a white supremacist society, and that's all there is to it. You purchased a colored kid (sometimes two or three) as a white person. You can never take that back. There is little you can do to repair the damage. No amount of cultural lessons, no amount of anti-racist work you do, no amount of money that you give, no amount of slang or phrases that you learn, can change the structure that you are a part of.
The unfortunate reality of all this is, my situation, like that of many non-whites all across the world, including the US, was bad. I was abandoned by my "biological" parents. South Korea at the time was transitioning economically from a third world country devastated and torn apart by militarization to a player in the global economy (and adoption game). I was malnourished. A lot of the kids in the orphanage I lived in died before they were adopted. Shit was bad and I probably would have remained in those conditions until someone adopted me. But don't ever throw some shit like that in my face to deflect an analysis around white supremacy. That is, as a friend of mine puts it, a cum shot to the face. It is dangling in front of me the conditions of my life so as to make your role in the process that created those circumstances and history invisible.
Now some of you are saying, what can we do, we already bought, I mean, adopted our child? I guess, unlike some purchases, this one is harder to return, right? Well, all I can say is, I can't help you there. You just need to live with the hostility that some people of color (but unfortunately not enough) have of your position. I am not interested in helping you out with your dilemmas of whiteness. I am not interested in being your colored-adopted-kid-insider that soothes your guilt. In fact, I hope it eats you up inside. It's little remorse for the transactions that have gone down, but it is something.

It's the weirdest half-consciousness over there that feels very superficial to me. It's like... You aaaaalmost seemed like you were getting it, but no. Not so much. It was for sure the most frustrating thing about that place.
One woman commented that there were no dolls OC, and that was off-putting. So someone else pointed out the Korean baby and the black basketball player. And in response? "Oh, okay! I didn't see those!"
It really smacked of tokenism.

Pre-Columbian America Enjoyed "Black Drink"
Tea and coffee are drunk worldwide, far beyond their original ecological niches. Now it looks like another caffeinated beverage also gained popularity far from its home.
Archaeologists call it Black Drink—a caffeinated brew of toasted leaves and twigs of the holly plant. It was imbibed, often ceremonially, in many regions of the Americas. Researchers say they've found the earliest trace of Black Drink—in a region that doesn't grow holly.
They investigated Cahokia, a large pre-Columbian political body. It encompassed floodplains and hills near today's Saint Louis. It's tough to find plant matter, so scientists searched for traces of theobromine, caffeine and ursolic acid in ceramics in the right proportion—a sort of chemical signature for holly. And they were able to date Black Drink back to about the year 1050, almost a thousand years ago. But the nearest holly grows hundreds of miles away.
The findings are in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. [Patricia L. Crown et al., Ritual Black Drink consumption at Cahokia]
The researchers say this is the earliest evidence of Black Drink consumption. And that Black Drink was traded for ritual consumption far from where it was grown. Much like our morning cup of joe.

In 2006, then-president George W. Bush signed an executive order that created the largest federal marine sanctuary in history, a thousand-mile stretch of Pacific Ocean and uninhabited islands between Hawaii and Midway. Perhaps he wanted to trump the legacy of his father, who as president 14 years earlier signed into law the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. It protects 276 miles of California coast between Hearst Castle and the Marin Headlands from oil drilling and other disruptions to the ecosystem.
Now it's President Barack Obama's turn. He should issue an executive order to protect a 50-mile stretch of coast from Bodega Bay north to Point Arena in Mendocino County, one of the most beautiful rugged coastlines in the world. The area would expand on the Gulf of the Farallones and the Cordell Bank national marine sanctuaries to preserve 4,500 square miles of ocean.
U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-San Rafael, has tried to get this done through legislation, but the oil and natural gas industries have fought any further limits on offshore drilling. Although that opposition seems to have ebbed — the area apparently isn't considered to be of great energy potential — there's no way the GOP-controlled House will expand environmental protection. And Woolsey leaves office at the end of the year.
So she and Sen. Barbara Boxer are leading an all-out campaign to get this done by then. They're urging the president to use the same type of executive order Bush signed for the South Pacific preserve.
While the drilling industries oppose sanctuaries in principle, the major fishing and tourist industry groups strongly support them.
Most professional fishermen know the importance of protecting the ecosystem to sustain their business over time. And domestic and international travelers spent $102 billion in picturesque California in 2011, supporting 893,000 jobs with combined earnings of $30.4 billion, according to travel industry reports.
Tourist spending is estimated to have generated $2.3 billion in local taxes and $4 billion in state taxes that year. It's not quite the tech industry — but it also doesn't require a lot of R&D spending to keep it going.
Woolsey and Boxer are joined by a dozen California House members including Zoe Lofgren, Jackie Speier, Anna Eshoo and Sam Farr. But the more voices, the better. Contact your own representative or, better still, Woolsey (http://woolsey.house.gov) to add yours. It's her crusade.
We also suggest that you send this to your friends across the country who come visit you on their California vacations. Anybody who has driven even a small stretch of that rugged Sonoma-Mendocino coast will want the view and the creatures that thrive there preserved forever.
Both Presidents Bush showed that intelligent environmental protection really isn't that difficult to accomplish, even in Washington.
A visionary president would leap at this opportunity to shore up his environmental legacy. We urge Obama to do so.

And the Dish Ran Away With the SpoonBook - 2001
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
A delightful picture book that uses a popular nursery rhyme to craft this enchanting story. Dish and Spoon ran away but this time they didn't come back! The Cat, the Cow and the Dog set off to find their friends, and on the way they meet characters from other nursery rhymes who help them in their quest. This book is full of clever puns and lots of fun!
My 6 year old son and I each really enjoyed this book but for entirely different reasons. The rhyming was fun to read aloud for me, but there is a large map in the middle of the story that had my son quite intrigued. For him, it was the beginning of understanding the relationship between map distance and distance on the ground. Quite unexpected!
