Travel etiquette raises countless questions. How messy should you leave a hotel room? How much should you tip a cab driver? Who owns the airplane armrest? What are appropriate expectations for kids on a plane? Do you say hello to strangers on the streets of a bustling metropolis? When is it okay to honk on a countryside road? Though there are some basic rules of civility that are globally recognized—listening to what other people say, being aware of what other people do, and interacting with other people with respect—many of the answers to these questions depend on cultural context. Let Travel + Leisure guide you through the sometimes confounding, sometimes delightful maze of travel etiquetteMind Your MannersWhen travelers encounter a very different culture, expectations—on both sides of the culture divide—change. Locals might not be surprised when Americans stick out their hand for a shake, even if it might otherwise be a faux-pas. Likewise, when the French go in for a greeting kiss, otherwise-averse Americans may already be prepared for the incoming lips. This tension between surprise, discomfort, and discovery is what makes travel so exciting. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make an effort.A little research goes a long way. Offer to take off your shoes before entering a private residence in Japan. Rely on your right hand alone at meals in India and the Middle East. Common sense goes even longer: don’t deface public property or natural spaces. (Avoid the ignoble fame of the French hitchhiker who destroyed local street signs after he didn’t catch a ride in a small New Zealand town, or the American social media maven who painted natural rock faces in a National Park and posted them on Instagram.) And whatever you do, do not—do not— touch museum items.

Please take time to read about the process. Photos illustrate examples of custom staves previously made for other customers. None of those staffs can be reproduced, as every custom staff is unique and customised for the individual and every blank piece of wood is different. Your custom staff will be your own personal design, the shape of the wood will be unique, just as the staff will be unique. I cannot reproduce any of these examples. Every staff is a new and unique work of art, just for you. I cannot duplicate these staves, as they are custom pieces that are personal to the customer who designed them. Please read through the description of the process to facilitate our working together on the design. SOME OF THE JEWELRY, ANTLERS, TAILS and ORNAMENTS IN THE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED BY THE CUSTOMER FOR THAT SPECIFIC STAFF.* These are shown to illustrate how i can work with items that are sent to me to personalise the staff. This is a good way to make your staff your own. I am offering custom made walking staff Please allow six weeks for me to get everything completed. Each staff is planned with the customer: 1.) the selection of the actual wooden staff 2.) the height/length of it 3.) where the grip is to be placed 4.) colours of leather to be included 5.) theme and type of ornaments 6.) Any ornaments you wish to send me for inclusion that you send to me Allow six weeks for planning, stripping the bark, curing the lemon oil, applying the decorations and preparing all the jewelry attached to the staff for shipping. Staves are cut from our local trees, my favorite are the cedar limbs, aged, stripped of bark, and finished with lemon oil. Many have very interesting tracks from insects under the bark before the bark is removed which makes for a more interesting staff. The cedar retains strength after the bark beetles have made their magic. I can select the best one for you or we can discuss, through images, what is available. Photos are always provided before final selection is made. Grips are soft leather in your choice of color. Black, white, green, blue, red, rust, moss, and purple leather are currently on hand. Ask and I will see if others have come into the shop since the writing of this listing. Please feel free to send scraps of fabric or leather for me to incorporate into your custom staff. Colours NOT on hand will cost a bit more to special order, and may add to the time it takes to deliver. If you require special order items you may order them shipped to me or I can bill you for them separately. Decorations may be anything you can dream up or provide. I have bells, beads, buttons, bones, random hardware, found objects, old jewelry, lanyard, lace, trims, feathers from our flock of many colored chickens and our guineas who donate to the collection as they pass through our yard. I have made leather decors, attached the patron's own jewelry, concocted ways to contain sea shells in a jar, added leather strips and chain. As the work progresses i can send images of the various ways i decorate and you may make your suggestions, a process that usually results in a staff very close to what you envisioned. If you can imagine it, I can realize your idea. SENDING ME A PACKAGE of YOUR desired attachables at the beginning of the project is encouraged but certainly not required. Staves will be as tall as 5 ft. 11 in. long, possibly a little longer, but if the staff is too long or the packing too wide the shipping becomes too costly. They vary in thickness and straightness, but most can be shipped at a reasonable price if the length is under six feet. Excessively wide or bulky staff will require additional postage. (Six ft staffs and taller staves require a good deal more postage) Each staff will have a leather grip at a comfortable height for you. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TALL YOU ARE IN YOUR NOTES WITH YOUR ORDER, bend your elbow and measure to the ground - approximately waist high or shoulder height. Take your broom, grab it a comfortable height, and measure from your hand to the floor. The decorations radiate from the grip. Please specify your height IN INCHES in order that i may put your grip at a reasonable height for you. Please specify WIZARD or FAIRIE (or special title). I like to begin with at least a dozen strings of beads, bones, and found items ( to your taste) to give the right 'feel'. Custom bead, bone, leather, ceramic or feather dangles can also be ordered separately and may be added any time. These strings of ornaments can be longer or shorter. The basic set is usually integrated into the leather from which the grip is constructed, and are permanently applied. Leather strips and chain wrapped around the upper portion of the staff provide a way to add decorations as you go. Dream catchers are special order items from a local artist and cost an additional $10.00. More than five leather leaves will cost $5 each. If you want leather leaves, you may specify up to five at no additional cost. Custom Ceramic decorations can be ordered, will take two weeks to produce, and cost $5 each. (for example: The tiny goddess figurines when available) also I have developed some rune disks in muted green. I am always ready to discuss your design and particulars. *SOME OF THE JEWELRY ORNAMENTS IN THE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED BY THE CUSTOMER FOR THAT SPECIFIC STAFF* Skulls not provided. Claws not provided. Tails not provided. Antlers not provided. - those were sent by the customers, as were several of the larger crystals. Due to excessive shipping costs, Price will increase as the USPS increases their cost.

I love using Pinterest as a resource for finding new lesson ideas. So many music teachers have blogs and share their plans and materials, and Pinterest is a place to find many of these ideas in one centralized location. Click on a pin that interests you, and poof! You are taken right to a web page to explore further. I have about 300 pins on my "Making Music" board on Pinterest. I only pin links after I click on them and make sure it is something that I would really want to refer to again and possibly use in my classroom. This past week, I utilized two lesson ideas that I found through pins on Pinterest. They were both a hit with my students, so I thought they were worth mentioning. Fruit Loop Rhythms Mrs. King's Music Room blog is a wonderful resource for engaging music lesson plans. I am a follower, but noticed her latest post through a pin on Pinterest before I had even seen her blog post on Fruit Loop Notation. I recently started teaching rhythmic notation to my first graders, and I immediately knew they would love this method of differentiating between one or two sounds per beat. I enjoyed finding a cute font to create a Fruit Loop worksheet. You can download a copy below. Fruit Loop Notation Worksheet I used coffee filters to hold the cereal for the students. They are cheap and work perfectly! I measured out 1/4 cup for each student, which was usually just the right amount. As you can see, the students were engaged and enjoyed working on their rhythmic notation: When I introduced ta's and ti's, I used 4 stools to represent 4 beats. As we spoke a phrase from a poem, the students determined if there is one or two sounds on each beat. If there was one sound, one student would sit on the stool. If there were two sounds, two students shared the stool. When two students shared, they put their arms around their partner's shoulders to visually represent the beam over eighth notes. After we worked from text, I called students up to the stools to create different rhythmic patterns. We used words first, like "birthday" and "cake" for one or two sounds. Ex.: "Birthday, birthday, cake, cake." Then we moved to reading the pattern as "ti-ti, ti-ti, ta, ta." I put a Fruit Loop Rhythm worksheet under the document camera, and demonstrated how to complete an example. If I didn't have the document camera, I would have put a worksheet on the floor and let everyone watch as I completed one pattern. Since this was my students' first attempt at rhythmic dictation, I used the percussion setting on my keyboard and played two different sounds for the quarter notes and eighth notes. I typically used a higher pitched percussion sound for the eighth notes and a bass drum for the quarter notes. If students struggled, I added the words we had used (birthday & cake) or spoke the ti's and ta's. Most of the students were able to successfully notate the rhythms without the words or syllables. The nice thing about this activity, is that I could sit at the keyboard and see how students were doing from a distance. I played the example several times. When most students appeared to be finished, I had them tap their boxes as I played it again to check their work. We played a little game to check the students' work. Since I had numbered the beat boxes, I had used letters for each example. So I taught the students sign language for letters A-D. Then I played an example and they found it on their worksheet. They held up the letter for the pattern I played. I could assess how well they had done as they identified the examples. Of course, I had to try to trick them and repeat one before playing the last one. I got a few on that one when they immediately guessed the example I had not played yet. We had a good giggle over that. :) The following lesson, we used bottle caps and mini craft sticks to represent notes. Although it wasn't as tasty as the Fruit Loops, the students still had fun as they practiced rhythmic dictation. Next week, students will begin reading flashcards and playing rhythms. I will have them speak the rhythm prior to playing it. I use the phrase, "Say it, Say & Play, Play" They speak it first, then speak and play, then think the syllables while they play. We usually use the barred instruments set in pentaton for this activity, but any percussion instrument will do. Thanks to Pinterest, I also found a game to use for reading and playing rhythms. I can't wait to try it with my students. It's a game from Amy Abbott, who has a fantastic music blog named Music a la Abbott. The game is called St. Patty's Day Poisoned Rhythm Game. Check it out! Step/Skip Game Last summer, I scoured Pinterest looking for ideas for music centers. I was reviewing some of my older pins and noticed one that would be perfect for my 3rd graders, since they are working on melodic notation. We have been using individual music staff white boards to notate line/space notes, scales, and solfege patterns. Some students were struggling with line and space notes, so I wanted a fun way to reinforce this concept. When I am introducing line and space notes, I use my head and arms to demonstrate the difference. I put my hands on both sides of my head like an arrow going through my head for the line note. Then I put one arm over my head and one arm below my chin for a space note. I go back and forth and let the students call out which kind of note I am representing. I also tell the students that although we say a note is "on" the line, think of it as being stamped on, rather than sitting on the line. Some students may imagine that if a note were sitting on the line, it would actually be a space note. I find that stamping it on the line helps. Okay, back to the game that I found! It came from Jennifer Fink at Pianimation. The games and resources that she shares are amazing. The game I used last week was Floor Staff Races. Follow the link to read about the game and scroll down the post for the link to the game cards. Before playing the game, we practiced identifying space/line notes, steps/skips, and up/down. For the game, students drew skip/step cards and up/down cards and raced their toy from the ledger line to the top of the staff. I definitely recommend using more "up" cards than "down" in order to finish a game. I made two game boards and divided the classes in half to play and thought that would work well. However, that ended up being too many students per game, in my opinion. So the next time we played, I divided the class into 4 groups. Two groups played one game, while two groups played this one. We rotated halfway through class, so everyone got to play both games. I even used this game with one of my 4th grade classes while I listened to individual students play for recorder karate belts. We took the game one more step by having the students identify the pitch name after they moved the animal. If they could not name it, they had to return to the previous position (unless they had moved downward, in which case they had to remain there). What are you waiting for? Run over to Pinterest and plan your next lessons. If you need a starting point, you can check out my music board by clicking here. See you on Pinterest!
