Many parents want to know when is the best time to tell a child she is adopted. The answer is that it is never too early to talk to your child about adoption. Before age 3, include age-appropriate children's books on adoption as part of your child's reading routine. Give your child information little by little, as much as she can understand. It may take years for your child to fully understand what adoption means. These early talks will give you practice in talking about adoption. They will also show your child that it is OK to bring up the topic.
Just as any child delights in the story of the day she was born, a child who is adopted will love to hear the details of how she came into the family. Share with your child the joy you felt at bringing her home that very first day. Talk with her about the many ways children join families—whether by adoption or birth, or in foster care or stepfamilies.
During the adoption process, keep a scrapbook or journal the same way an excited mother does during pregnancy. Keep track of important dates and steps in the process. Take pictures of the people and places involved in your child's earlier life. These details will help make the adoption easier for your child to understand. You may want to place pictures in your child's room to encourage her to ask questions about her adoption. If you have an open adoption, you could frame a picture of her birth parents. If she was adopted internationally, maybe frame a picture from her place of origin.
The word adopted should become a part of your child's vocabulary early on. Find other words that everyone in your family is comfortable with. The terms birth mother and birth father are very common. Biological parents is also used frequently. Let your child know that the words mother and father have more than one meaning. A mother is someone who gives birth to a child, but a mother is also someone who loves, nurtures, and guides a child to adulthood. Being a father also can have different meanings.
Adoptive parents often tell their child she is special because she was "chosen" or that she was "given up out of love." Though the parents mean well, these statements may be very confusing to a child. Some children may feel that being chosen means they must always be the best at everything. This can lead to problems when they start to realize this is not possible. Telling your child she was given up out of love may raise questions about what love is and whether others will give her up too. Some families use the term "making an adoption plan" instead of "giving up" their child.
The longer you wait to talk about adoption with your child, the harder it will be. Any level of openness you can build when your child is young will help encourage her to ask more questions about her adoption as she gets older.
If talking with your child about adoption is difficult, talk with your pediatrician. He or she can be a valuable source of support, understanding, and resources.
Even if you talk about adoption early and openly, at some point your child may begin to ask questions such as
If your child feels that you are not telling the whole story, he may look for answers somewhere else, like from a relative or friend who may not know or may not share accurate information. Show your child that you are willing to talk about the adoption. Tell him it's OK to bring it up with you.
like "Why do you want to know?" or "Are you unhappy with our family?" Your child's curiosity is healthy and natural. It should not be discouraged or seen as a threat to you. Also be sure to only answer the questions the child has asked, not what you think he should know.
Some children are curious from the very beginning. Others may be afraid to bring it up. The best you can do is let your child know it is OK to talk about it. When your child is ready to know more, he will ask.
Other people might ask questions that your child will not be able to answer, from innocent questions like:
To important medical questions such as:
Questions from strangers can be tricky. You do not have to tell everyone your child is adopted. However, if a question comes up about differences in appearance or ethnicity, offer a simple but honest explanation. When you are proud of your child's identity, she too will learn to appreciate her own value. Be aware that your attitude about adoption will show in your answers. How you respond can set an example as to how your child may choose to answer these questions in the future. Also, let your child know that she does not have to give specific answers to strangers if she does not feel comfortable. It is her choice to share whatever information about her adoption that she chooses. It is fine for children to learn that information about their adoption is theirs to share over time.
Helping your child accept the fact that she is unique, yet just like everyone else, may not sound easy, but it is important to try. Talking openly and truthfully with your child about her history of adoption, her birth parents, and her feelings is the key. Adoption gives both you and your child a tremendous gift–the gift of each other. With love, honesty, and patience, you and your child will form a relationship that is as deep and meaningful as any bond between a parent and child.

Favourite file and author tracking now liveposted by Dark0ne Site NewsAfter a couple of weeks of procrastination I have finally gotten around to writing the all new favourite file and member tracking system for TESNexus. At its core this new site feature is designed to help members of the site keep track of the latest updates made to their favourite files through a semi-Facebook style news feed style system.
New "Track file" and "Track member" links have been added to file pages and member profiles respectively (denoted by a icon) that allow you to quickly add files and members to your favourites. A dynamic feed is then created for you on the file tracking and member tracking pages that shows all the latest actions that have been performed on the files or by the members in the file database. Currently the only actions that are tracked are the same actions tracked on the updates today page (new files, file edits, attribute changes, new images, new mirrors, new readmes). You can filter which updates you would like to see, also, so you can choose to only see file updates.
It's important to note that member tracking will only track the actions listed above; it won't track comments or forum posts that specific members make or images they upload in the image share database.

Dogs are at home here, by the dozensStefan Hard / Staff Photo
Don and Sindi Blanchette relax with Gabby, a 5-year-old German shepherd with multiple health problems, on the deck of their Berlin home, where they run Almost Home Dog Rescue and Rehab. Besides Gabby, they are caring for 46 other rescued dogs.
When visiting the home of Don and Sindi Blanchette, a half mile up a dirt driveway off Junction Road in Berlin, its difficult to mistake your destination.
The sound of 47 dogs is the giveaway that youve found your way to Almost Home Dog Rescue and Rehab.
The couple said they started the center in 2012, after they became more aware of the problem of dog abuse, specifically in the Southern United States.
In Vermont were kind of shielded from a lot of this because people take care of their pets here, said Don Blanchette, 57. In the South, its a different mentality. Dogs are disposable. Theyre used for breeding. The dogs are bred to hunt, and if they dont hunt theyre thrown out.
He also said many dogs are bred to fight for sport, and some are used as bait dogs. According to him, bait dogs with worn-down teeth are thrown into the ring so fighting dogs can practice.
Sindi Blanchette, 59, said all of the dogs the center takes in have been neglected or harmed in some way.
Some of them you dont know, you can only guess what happened to them based on their reactions to hand movements, she said.
The couple said one of the hardest things is deciding which dogs to take in.
Were exposed to hundreds and hundreds of dogs each day, Don said. We get pictures sent to us, saying, Please help this dog. And you can only help so many of them.
He said they take the ones for which they think they can actually make a difference. The ones that everybody else has turned their backs on and its the eleventh hour. Most of our dogs are scheduled to be euthanized at 6 in the evening, and at 5:30 we pulled them out of the shelter. Weve actually had some in the killing room that weve pulled out.
They work with a network of people in the South who identify dogs that need rescuing and help facilitate the animals transport to Vermont.
His wife said the couple will take dogs regardless of their health issues. But she said they know at some point they wont be able to keep taking in more, and may have already reached the centers capacity.
As is, the couple said it is difficult to keep up financially with the needs of all their dogs. Sindi Blanchette said the organization is a nonprofit and sometimes receive discounted services from veterinarians.
The bottom line is we spend in excess of $100,000 of our money every year, her husband said. And weve got over $40,000 in vet bills alone this year. He said outside funding such as donations covers only about 5 percent of operating costs.
Caring for nearly 50 dogs introduces another problem: time. Don Blanchette said he needs to grind 80 pounds of chicken every night for the next days feeding. That is on top of owning a business, DB Design, which designs and builds custom interiors. Recent projects have included the Blanchard Block and the Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen in Barre.
Our day starts at around 4 or 4:30 in the morning and it ends around 10 at night, he said. And thats seven days a week. We dont get to go out to dinner, or go to a movie, or hang out at the lake.
But they arent complaining, he said. This is what we chose to do. They would, however, be open to some volunteer helpers.
Sindi Blanchette said the feeling of knowing the dogs are finally safe is reward enough.
The satisfaction that we get every night when we close our eyes and we know these guys are safe is great. Nobody is going to come in and kick them in the head. They may not be the cutest things that have ever walked down the pike, but theyre living, breathing souls.
The couple have had some success finding families to adopt some of the dogs so they can take in more. Three have been adopted in the last couple of weeks, they said, compared with four in the previous two years.
They said its often challenging to find people willing to adopt their dogs, because many are older and have serious physical and emotional problems.
The organization charges a $300 adoption fee as a demonstration of the adopters commitment to the dog.
The center also sometimes does fundraising for specific dogs, such as a 5-year-old German shepherd named Gabby, whom they adopted from Florida. They said Gabby lived in deplorable conditions there, locked in a crate for long periods. As a result, Gabbys leg muscles didnt develop properly, so she couldnt walk.
The couple started Gabbys Challenge on the centers website, www.almosthomedogrescuevt.com, to gather donations for a series of surgeries.
Overall, both Blanchettes are surprised at where their simple desire to help has led.
I used to say I wanted 25 dogs, but that was long before I thought about rescue, Sindi said. ... We thought wed save a few dogs. But then you become more and more engrossed and passionate about it.
Her husband added, Obviously we love what we do, and we wouldnt have it any other way.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

I like this and hope he does well.....
Piquet to Nationwide: Nelson Piquet, Jr., will graduate to the Nationwide Series this season, running for the series championship in a Chevy Camaro fielded by Turner Scott Motorsports. Piquet finished seventh in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship standings last season with Turner Scott, claiming a pair of wins at Michigan and Las Vegas, nine Top-5 and 15 Top-10 finishes in 22 events. He also made two Nationwide starts last year, highlighted by a win from the pole at Road America in late June. A spokesperson for Turner Scott Motorsports declined to confirm the move, and there is no word on who might replace Piquet at the wheel of the team's #30 Chevy Silverado. In a related story, sources say Turner Scott will continue its longstanding emphasis on fostering young talent in 2013, fielding at least three and as many as five entries on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East

Great Pine Scent
This hand soap smells just like the balsam fir trees my Dad used to get for Christmas. Brings back happy memories of those Christmases.
The smell of the holidays when I was growing up
I LOVE the scent of Frasier Fir Hand Wash as it reminds me of how the house smelled when I was growing up around the holidays. My mom would bring out her candles and the whole house would smell of pine, fir, and all things evergreen. It takes me back to that magical time when I was a kid. I'm so grateful for the memories being re-invigorated every time I wash my hands. Thanks Thymes!
Wash Wow
My husband and I both love the Frasier fir scent. It is intoxicating! I bought this wash and was pleasantly surprised that the subtle scent lingers on your skin even after the bubbles are rinsed away. I can't wait to try the bar soap!
Season's Greetings
It's just not the holiday season until I put out the Frasier Fir products. One of my most favorites is the pump hand soap. I look forward to a reason to need to wash my hands as I love the smell. It's in the powder room and the kitchen. Can hardly wait for November as that is when I bring out the Frasier Fir.

Few engines can truly claim the status of legend, but the Slant Six, used in Dodge vehicles from 1960 to 1987, is one of them. Some old garage hands say that if it was properly cared for, a good old Slant Six might just run forever.
A clean-sheet-of-paper design, the Slant Six originally took its name from its innovative cylinder layout—the block was laid over on its side 30 degrees to the right to allow a low center of gravity and a low, sleek hood profile to accommodate…Read More

Cheats and Walkthroughs(136)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(56)
Microsoft has never issued a fully satisfying answer about why Xbox Live, almost four years after the launch of Xbox 360, cannot support more than 100 friends. The company has blamed it on technical obstacles related to the original Xbox Live architecture. It's simpler than that. The real reason you can't have more than 100 friends on Xbox Live is because of Bungie. Specifically, Halo 2.
The continued community support behind Halo 2 is the only reason Microsoft hasn't ditched the lingering ancient Xbox Live architecture, a high-level Microsoft source confirmed to me late last week.
The original Xbox Live was not designed to support more than 100 friends. That's no problem for the Xbox 360 incarnation. Allowing players to add more than 100 friends on Xbox 360 is not a real technical challenge for Microsoft, but it requires ending support for the still-popular shooter. It's not as simple as issuing a patch for Halo 2, or else Microsoft would have released one ages ago.
Looking at Major Nelson's weekly Xbox Live activity lists, the Halo 2 connection should have been obvious a long time ago. Halo 2 is always the most played original Xbox title, suggesting a healthy community still enjoying Master Chief's second adventure online, despite the existence of Halo 3 on Xbox 360. What's keeping them playing? It doesn't matter, it only matters that they are.
My source said Microsoft still does not know when it will disable support for the original Xbox Live, thus ending Halo 2's reign on the charts. It could happen after the release of Halo 3: ODST, since that would give Halo players two new Halo games to move over to on the new Xbox Live. If you want Microsoft to move in that direction, however, it requires your voiced opinion.
Microsoft will be reading this and comments elsewhere. If there's real vocal support for finally moving on from Halo 2, it could very well happen in the near future, I'm told.
But at least we know the hold up. It's a technical issue, but it's really not. It's about a community doing nothing more than enjoying their favorite game, while the rest of the world is prevented a seemingly simple interface feature. When to call it quits is a challenging issue for online games, but really, it's almost out of Microsoft's hands. Gamers have to make the decision.
I've contacted Microsoft for official comment. I'll update you if I hear anything.
What do you want Microsoft to do?

Find Your Passion: Bringing Spaces to Life
By Sarah Caroline Willcox
The sheer mention of a stereotypical college dorm room is enough to make any student homesick. Bare, concrete walls obstruct picture hanging, and cold, tile floors, reminiscent of a hospital, are not exactly comforting.
Beth Eubanks, senior interior design student at The University of Alabama, says she's helping ensure this stereotype will not exist at UA.
The 29-year-old Birmingham native has been an interior design intern with the UA furnishings and design department for the past three years. In this role, Eubanks has worked for the Housing and Residential Communities for about 18 months to design and decorate Ridgecrest South dorm, among other projects. Eubanks, under the supervision of a certified designer, selected, and budgeted for, the furniture, fixtures and equipment for the facility.
"As a designer, I am not limited to decorating, rather I can use my abilities and talents to solve technical solutions and enhance environments," Eubanks says. "I love that I can take an empty shell and bring life to a space."
According to Susanna Johnson, associate director for furnishings and design, Eubanks' approach to the finishes and furnishings of new and existing residential communities was innovative for student living. Eubanks chose fabrics that were functional and attractive, worked with the architectural firm to pick energetic finishes, selected exterior furniture for the courtyards and planned the furnishings for the student units and common spaces.
"Because of Beth's keen eye to design with our students in mind, she was successful in developing one of the most aesthetically pleasing residential communities we have on campus," Johnson says. "Beth has a work ethic that cannot be matched by other students."
Eubanks' focus on interior design has clearly set her apart, but she has also found a way to balance her other passion—5-year-old son, Jeremiah. After moving to Hawaii shortly after graduating high school, Eubanks says she intended to further her education when she moved back to Alabama. In 2003, Eubanks returned to Birmingham where she enrolled at Jefferson State Community College. Two years after Jeremiah was born, Eubanks transferred to UA.
One thing Eubanks says was the most helpful in her transition was the University's attention to her personal needs, such as childcare for her son, enrollment and financial aid.
"The UA staff [in Human Environmental Sciences] was so personable and helpful in guiding me through [the transfer]," Eubanks says. "Along with that, I was naturally drawn to Doster Hall's beautiful architecture."
Eubanks says she has learned valuable lessons about interior design both in the HRC department and outside of the classroom; for example, an epiphany she had after carrying a carpet sample to her car one day.
"Someone literally chased me down to tell me what a hideous piece of carpet they thought it was," Eubanks
says. "At that moment, I realized a valuable lesson—people are passionate about their environment. My job as an interior designer is to direct that passion in creating the best space possible."
She says her belief in designing for people and their lifestyles has been instilled in her by her UA mentors and work experience for HRC. Upon graduation, Eubanks says she hopes to continue her education in UA's graduate school for management. She has also been granted graduate assistantship through HRC beginning in the fall of 2010, which will allow her to continue working as their interior design intern while working on a master's degree.

Barre schools closingMarch 12,2014
BARRE – Thanks to an ominous weather forecast students from two local schools will be sent home early today and – per order of Mayor Thomas Lauzon – will get the day off on Thursday.
With a major snowstorm bearing down on central Vermont students at Barre City Elementary and Middle School and Spaulding High School were scheduled to be released at noon, according to Superintendent John Bacon, who didn't get the chance to cancel school on Thursday because Lauzon did it for him.
Exercising the authority granted him by the city's charter, Lauzon ordered both of Barre's public schools – BCEMS and Spaulding – closed on Thursday due to what he characterized as a looming weather emergency.
With forecasts calling for between 12 and 20 inches of snow to fall on central Vermont over the next 24 hours, Lauzon informed Bacon of his decision by email shortly after 9:30 a.m. today.
"… While our crews will work diligently and in split 16-hour shifts, we simply cannot guarantee safe roads at all times due to the severity of this storm," Lauzon wrote, noting that he was troubled that he hadn't heard back from Bacon on the subject, but had consulted with city and state officials who shared his concerns.
Bacon said he had spoken with Chief Tim Bombardier earlier in the day and was planning to wait until this afternoon or possibly this evening to determine what to do about school on Thursday. He said that would have given parents ample time to plan in the event school was canceled, while giving him a better idea of what to expect from a storm that had only barely begun, but was expected to intensify.
Lauzon saved him the trouble.
According to Lauzon, giving parents extra time to plan was one of his considerations. But, he said, he didn't want to risk school officials underestimating the storm that he believed would challenge the city's ability to keep roads and sidewalks clear.
"It looks like this storm is going to live up to its billing," he said.
According to Lauzon, keeping inexperienced high school drivers off snow-covered roads and young children away from bus stops that hadn't yet been cleared were his primary concern.
"It all comes down to safety," he said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

|Assistant Coach
|Gainesville, Ga.
|Previous College:
|Tennessee Tech
Returning for his third year as a full-time assistant coach and fourth overall year as a member of the Tennessee Tech men's basketball coaching staff is former Golden Eagle 3-point specialist Frank Davis.
Just two years after returning to his alma mater as the Director of Basketball Operations, Davis will look to help the Tech squad build off a resurgent 2013-14 season in which the team returned to Ohio Valley Conference Tournament action, defeating SIUE in the first round and finishing the year with a 17-16 record.
A standout ball player and graduate in the class of 2010 with a degree in exercise science and physical wellness, Davis began his transition from player to coach at Piedmont College during the 2010-11 season, before taking a graduate assistant coaching position at Lee University during 2011-12.
Davis finished out his career at Tech at the top of the all-time 3-point shooting list, having netted 251 buckets from downtown during his 2006-2010 career. He logged two seasons with a 3-point shooting accuracy over 40 percent (42.9 percent in 2008-09 and 44.4 percent in 2009-10) and is No. 2 on the Golden Eagle list of career games played with 125.
A standout in the classroom as well, Davis was named four times to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll while earning a spot in Tech's 1,000-point club with 1,118 career points.
Davis is a native of Gainesville, Ga., and completed his master's degree in education at Tennessee Tech in 2013. He is married to the former Allison Price, who started three years at guard for the Golden Eagle women's basketball team.

My 4-week old has a terrible latch. I think he's getting enough milk, but how can I be sure. I have the following questions/problems:
-pinching pain when he nurses (I keep trying to get his lower chin to open wider, but he closes it and pinches the nipple).
-he rarely 'falls off' the breast, so I either pull him off or he falls asleep
-I can't self-express very well.
-He spits up a lot after each feeding, which makes me think he gets too much milk at one time.
Has anyone else experienced this problems?
Also, I find that I'm having a hard time knowing whether or not he's actually hungry because he doesn't root as much, if at all.
Please help. Thanks.

What is in this article?:
- Dufresne, Keller, Ripert discuss careers, legacy
- Tasting menus, pivotal career moments
This is part of NRN's special coverage of the 2013 Food & Wine Classic held in Aspen, Colo., June 14-16.
Since 1988, Food & Wine magazine has named Best New Chefs, an award that has launched the careers of dozens upon dozens of chefs. Among them are Wylie Dufresne, the chef/owner of New York City's WD-50 and a James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef New York for the last six years; Eric Ripert, the chef/owner of Le Bernardin in New York City; and Thomas Keller, the chef/owner of The French Laundry in California's Napa Valley and the holder of multiple Michelin three-star ratings. The chefs discussed pivotal moments in their careers, upcoming projects and their legacies with Food & Wine editor Dana Cowin.
Cowin: What are the mantras you live by?
Ripert: Because we are a seafood restaurant, it's always been "Fish is the star of the plate." Everything we do at the restaurant is designed to pay homage to fish.
Keller: Our goal is to strive for perfection, and as such it's all about the extra effort that you put in.
Dufresne: Our mantra is to always ask "Why?" All of us in the business do lots of repetitive things, like cook a chicken or an egg the same way. But why do we have to cook the things we cook the same way all the time? Is there a better way to do it? It pays to keep asking yourself that question.
• Top chefs dish on Dad's favorite meals
• Chefs offer tips on breaking into broadcast
• More food and beverage coverage at NRN.com
Keller: That's a good point. It's about evolving and constantly moving forward. For years at the French Laundry we would poach lobster in butter on the stove. That left it to the skill of the chef and knowing when to pull it out of the butter. At Per Se, we decided to take the human risk element out of it and put the lobster in a bag and poach it in a circulator so it comes out perfect every time. But the health department has issues with us doing sous vide, so we went back to poaching it in butter until we realized that we could poach the lobster in a circulator without the bag. It's about finding a better way.
Ripert: The world is always changing. It's shrinking so we can fly to Asia easily and we can get products from all around the world that will influence our cooking. Improvements in technology are helping the chef but they're also helping purveyors. New technology is helping fishermen deliver fresh fish better than ever. If you don't evolve, it's boring. Remember, 25 years ago nobody in this country was eating sushi.
Dufresne: This is the information age, so we have instant access to all sorts of information that can change and help us improve what we do. It's easy for us to find out what chefs are doing in Asia, Scandinavia and everywhere. It didn't used to be that way.
Cowin: Has the interest in French food waned?
Ripert: Good food is good food, and success is about harmony on the plate. Though a lot of us were trained to use French technique, we don't necessarily cook French food. We use the ingredients around us. My inspiration comes from New York and its products.
Keller: I don't think we've lost our appreciation for French food, but now we have access to so many other great cuisines, there's a lot to pick from.

Man arrested in Illinois on Iowa murder allegation
The husband of a Burlington woman has been charged with killing her.
Authorities say 38-year-old Chico Newman was found Monday and arrested at a motel near the Quad City International Airport in Moline, Ill. Newman is being held at the Rock Island County Correctional Center, awaiting extradition to Iowa.
Newman is accused of shooting to death 32-year-old Crystal Newman during an argument at their Burlington home on Aug. 9. He is charged with first-degree murder.
Chico Newman's attorney has declined to comment.
Authorities said the Newmans' two children have been living with their mother's relatives since the shooting.

Change-up at Weekend of Chamber Music; Founder passes the baton
January 23, 2013 —
BETHEL, NY — Performer that she is, Judith Pearce started this press conference with a touch of theater. She leaned on the long, gleaming bar now located in the Catskill Distillery tucked behind the Dancing Cat Saloon. In 1994, she said, when she founded Weekend of Chamber Music (WCM), the bar was located in a hotel in Jeffersonville, and she sat around the bar with members of the Lions Club, thinking, "I have never sat in a bar with only men." It was worth it; she left with a check for $100.
In the 20 years since then, Pearce and the Weekend of Chamber Music have become institutions in Sullivan County and the region. At the press conference on January 18, Pearce announced that she was handing over duties as artistic director to American composer Andrew Waggoner and his wife, cellist Caroline Stinson, who have been associated with the organization for several years.
In remarks that summarized WCM's activities over the past two decades, Pearce said that from the beginning, WCM has had an extensive program of events with children, having done projects with and played for every school district in Sullivan County.
Over the years, the organization also has scored some impressive achievements. "We've had two world premieres, at least four U.S. premieres, and we've introduced at least six composers," Pearce recalled.
She also talked about collaboration, which is central to the arts these days. "Practically all grants are asking you to collaborate," she said. "This is something that as chamber musicians is entirely natural to us. In fact, I'm going to stick my neck out; after all these years, not only with WCM but throughout my entire life, I would say that collaboration reaches one of its highest levels in art in chamber music performance. We have to assume many different roles; we have to be soloists and we have to literally switch on a dime to come to a supporting role. We ourselves know that within an ensemble, if you really get on well, it is a marvelously exciting experience."
She also touched on the open performances WCM often holds on the day before performances. She said, "I know that people have come up to me and said, 'To hear you rehearsing and discussing the balance of voices, what should be louder what should be softer, I really felt I could hear it,' and I know for personal friends that these open rehearsals have given people confidence in their listening."
Now, however, while she will stay on as board president and as a performer, Pearce said it was time to turn over the artistic director reins.

i do agree with everything youre saying.. its not that most americans dont wear the same clothing as you do cause they do and matter of fact, i think your style is international. there shouldnt be a label to your style cause its you and im pretty sure many girls from different countries wear clothes that are similar to yours. i think u.s. television has brainwashed other countries into thinking that we all dress like people from the o.c.

What a great post! I think with the increasing 'globalisation', the world is becoming 'smaller', more 'reachable'... (including internet shopping, blogging, television). As we get exposed to other countries' fashion (amongst other things), we may assimilate a little of what we see (if we choose to do so, consciously or subconsciously).
Personally, having lived in so many countries, I don't think I could've ever been 'pinpointed' to any countries' fashion. Even growing up in Brazil, most of my clothes were hand-me downs from my American cousins. Having said that, when asking me 'where I'm from', most people don't really go by the way I dress, but more by my accent (which confuses people at times) and my Asian face...

I agree
last year for halloween I donned dreadlocks and really ratty baggy clothing, and a huge backpack, and I was a "backpacker" but everyone thought I dressed up as an Israeli because backpackers are predominantly Israeli, anywhere
but I said - I'm Israeli and I know tons of Israelis and we don't dress like this! (aside from when actually backpacking..)

Reading this really made me think of me. I feel foreign in my country of Australia alot of the time, especially in Sydney (which has a huge beach culture). I get strange looks when I wear quite sophisticated clothes out even when I'm shopping, people think it's crazy. I guess the way I look also doesn't opitimise the Australian look (even though my heritage is European). I have porcelain skin, and blonde hair... So many stereotypes, so annoying

What's great for you, Rebecca, is that you're in the enviable and unique position to have traveled early in life. You've had a chance to immerse yourself in other cultures, something that blogging—while wonderful—can't offer. Blogging offers a peek, but no real exposure. That said, blogging is like virtual travel for lots of people, and it's a great eraser of boundaries.

As someone who has never even left though country I don't have much of a grasp on international style. My only access to it is through style sites and foreign movies. I definitely think where we come from influences our style though.
ps. Cute dress :)

- the Yellow Elephant said...
it's important to be influenced by other cultures. both in thinking and way of dressing. by exploring new places, meeting new people you change and that affects your clothes. i love to see people wearing clothes from where they have been, the clothes tell a story.

when i had a blog a lonnnng time ago and posted the very first picture of myself, everyone made comments like "you are the epitome of southern charm" ... it's very strange to have someone say you LOOK like you're from a certain region!

I just returned from spending 3 weeks in Europe. It was my first trip abroad and I was wholly prepared to be labeled as an "American tourist." However, several times throughout my trip I seemed to be mistaken for a local. Or at least no one guessed I was American until I spoke back to them. Although I do wear jeans often, I'm not one for flip flops or tennis shoes and I love hats, scarves and necklaces. I guess I didn't fit the "American tourist" stereotype.
I'm still envious when I see street fashion photos from other places. If I dress too far from the "norm" ie. put a hat on, or layer nd add a pair of heels or ballet flats, I feel I'm labeled as overdressed. I've decided I don't care any longer, I wear what I want!
I love your blog, and always look forward to your outfit posts!

It's truly an eye opening experience to live abroad as an American, isn't it? Even if you don't "look" particularly American. Once people find out you are it opens a can of worms, so to speak.
I hate boxes but I'm afraid putting people in boxes is a universal language. Every culture has stereotypes that other cultures tend perceive as a truth. I have never take these stereotypes seriously. There are unique people peppered through out every culture - that being said there is also a lot of what I would term trendiness or "non-fashion" everywhere.
very interesting post.

ive noticed, too, when a lot of people tell me i dress really japanese- but then back in japan my style was considered a bit weird!
i love these pictures- especially the second last one.. the bag looks lovely :]

you just have a unique style all by yourself. it doesn't take away the fact you are an American, just a unique styish American.

So you have that that
dress also?!(i send you a photo of mine with that dress a few days ago via e-mail,but the question is still on.What about that dress in a rainy automn?!)
Maybe you do not look totally american or me greek or that guy that i have from the view of muy window catalan, but i can easily recognise in Spain(or Greece) the brand of the clothes,jaja! Frequently i see combinations of brands rather than combination of clothes! The good thing is the combination itself though,hm..

Great post. While I can't see generalisations with terms of countries, I do vaguely agree with the notion of 'style tribes', there was an awesome book on style tribes a few years ago but the name escapes me. I guess globalisation has had a big part in breaking down the geographic constraints of shopping. I've tagged u by the way!

In Germany, at a party:
Lady: Hi, we [her table] were talking about where you're from. Japan? China?
Me: No, I'm from Canada.
Lady: Really? Funny, you don't look Canadian.
I have a different issue then you when traveling. When I'm overseas (aside from Asia), I'm automatically assumed I'm from Asia (ie. people attempting to hawk their goods to tourists will try greeting me in Chinese or Japanese). When I'm in Hong Kong or China, I get stares from the locals as they try to assess where I'm from because I don't dress like them.

I'm always flattered when people assume I'm something other than Scottish (not that I'm not proud to be a Scot, fried Mars bars and all!) maybe because anything that's not your homeland seems more exotic and interesting...I do get Canadian a lot though, which is a bit odd! Char x

The fact that people tend to think you aren't American could also have something to do with your demeanor. When I lived in Japan for a year everyone thought I was European. They said they would never think I was American because I am quiet and polite and they assume many Americans to be loud and obnoxious. It's an awful stereotype of Americans, but if you are on the quiet side that might be why people don't think you're American.

Nice pics, lovely bag and very interesting post! It's easy to tell that those pics are mediterranean, 'cos there is this thing called idyosincrasy.
American have a different way of dressing up, but you definetly look European, altough still anglosaxon. Anglos seem to feel like more free, less cosntricted to rules, which are especially strong in the South (Greece, Spain, Italy...).
By the way, you really look like a hip Spanish folky singer called Russian Red. She's a whole indie star here!

This was a great post. I think that so many people get stereotyped by their country and it's typical style, but I'm so inpsired by so many different places that I don't think I could fall under any specific one.
I absolutely love the photo of the clothespins! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera do you use and what do you do when you edit your photos? Because they always have a really nice color tone to them, and they're always really clear.

I loved this text, and I agree with you, it's impossible to generalize everything and everyone. Here in DK I've met so many foreigners, and it's funny how most of them didn't correspond to my pre-idea of what they might dress like, like a french girl who dresses dowdy and a japanese who mostly wears jeans and a plain top every day.

- muchlove said...
Yes, your environment will definitely affect your style.
When I lived in my hometown in Indonesia (not a big city) as a teenager, I ALWAYS wore tshirts and jeans. I think the overall economy development (shopping malls were a new thing) and our culture (modesty - eg: it was frowned-upon to wear tops that shows off our shoulders) definitely affected our limited fashion choices.
Once I lived in Australia for a few years and having access to retail shops and seeing the everyday style on people, it has changed the way I dress now. I feel I can have a lot more fun with fashion. At the end end of the day, despite the strong influence of Australian/western fashion, I still love wearing Indonesian batik tops/skirts/scarves and I still feel awkward showing off my shoulders.
and I like it that way.

This is such a great post - I think a lot of countries such as America and Australia get stereotyped into very mediocre styles (over here it's flip flops, shorts and a tank top) whereas other countries like Japan and Sweden become known for their cutting edge style. I agree that location is not the defining characteristic of a person's style and that there's good style and bad style all over the place.
- October 22, 2008 at 5:37 PM
It's funny how the sterotype of a loud obnoxious american exists in europe. When I have spent time there...I did see them: the baseball caps, loud questionings, blue jean shorts. But I also live in Honolulu, which is America, but vastly different from the mainland because it's largely a mix of asians, hapas, samoans, native islanders, and military. I work at a English-School and most of the students are either from Japan/Europe (swiss, german, french, liechtenstein, spain, italy..you name it.) At the school..the Europeans are very loud and (slightly obnoxious, but i still love them). Locals in Hawaii tend to speak softly and slowly. I think it's just hard to stereotype a country to a style/fashion because of globalization (ie aren't there many american fast food places in Greece? I know there were several McDonalds there when I was in athens). ps. people also always think i'm from asia... even though I'm born and bred here.. it just shows how people still don't consider america to be as diverse as it is...for many people to think an Asian can be American (or Canadian) is out of their mind.

I love the picture of the clothes-line. I get the same thing about not really looking American. When I was in Denmark and Sweden, American tourists took me as a native and asked me to take their pictures using gestures. It's also kind of funny just in that it doesn't seem to me that there is a single American style. I mean, there's classic American style, but very few people actually wear that today.

when abroad i always took secret satisfaction when people were surprised/ said I didn't seem/look/act American. I actually used to be kind of ashamed to be American because we had such a lousy reputation. That's changed, and I realize it's a part of who I am, but I much, much prefer the international scope of the blogosphere to the mainstream American fashion magazines or other noise like that. I love that how people in the blogosphere, while international, are often rather small town girls. It's so inspiring. (lol, sorry, long comment)

I loved the post. As an American living in Australia (for 7 years now), my style is a complete mix up. I wear clothing designed in both countries together at any given time and most people think I'm from France (that is before I open my mouth). I hope you are enjoying your time in Greece, I'm enjoying reading about it.

Great post. Although I would probably say I dress pretty "American", my style isn't very "Portlandian". As in, I don't live in Asics shoes and a north face with a chrome bike bag. However I think where people live still affects there style. As in, I'll wear something pretty put together but still have my Nike messenger bag. I think even though a person's style may not completely fall into the stereotype of where they're from, it adds quirks that are unique to their enviornment.
Oh, and nice dress.

Great post. I know a lot of people in Asia will be able to tell western-born Asians like myself simply by their body language and clothing! Makes one feel pretty self-conscious eh? The flip-flops do seem to be a north american thing; I think we seem to dress more casually than Europe or Asia, so it's no wonder people mistake you for European! Take it as a compliment ;)

Interesting post. I think there's ways in which we fit in or stand out just in America based on clothing choices. In Phoenix I blend in. Once I'm back where I grew up in rural NY my clothing is out of the norm and draws reactions from stares to comments (positive and negative).
When I was traveling in India and China it was my reddish hair that garnered the most attention. Most often when I travel in Europe I'm mistaken as French which I don't mind at all. I take that as a huge compliment. :)

what people think you look like are often based on their own experiences....so a lot of the time its more about them than you....i think. :-) if somebody refuses to believe there are classic, stylish girls like you from America it will take them a long time to arrive at your country of origin.

Wonderful post. In Vancouver I've been mistaken for Korean quite a few times, and in Paris I had several people ask me if I was Japanese. It's interesting because I see very subtle style nuances between Chinese/Korean/Japanese women and I start to wonder why I'm mistaken for someone with a different East Asian background.

very interesting post, i guess stereotypes are everwhere and most of us europeans only see american style through american TV, which, when i was younger, kids TV shows showed me all crazy patterns and matching stuff, makes me think of 'that's so raven!'. looking at shows like friends makes me think of just casual styles that most might employ. of course through fashion blogging i know there are many different styles!

DH and I were having a conversation about Daniel's "nursing" habits. Basically every day or two, sometimes more than once in a day, he will ask for "milk" and take one suck. Never more than one. He often asks for "milk" when he's playing with my belly. I guess he thinks the two go together.
DH says he's weaned. I say he's still "nursing" in his own way.
