The Milamala starts with a procession of men carrying the newly harvested yams from the garden storage hut to the village yam houses while the women ahead sing and dance. During the festival time, traditional rites are observed. It was from Malinowski's anthropological studies of the customs and sexual practices during this time that The Trobriands became known as The Islands of Love.
Fresh water caves are found all over Kiriwina island. Near Matawa Village there are several deep limestone caves housing burial antiquities and skeletal remains. At Wawela there is a beautiful curving beach on a cool, deep lagoon. The village children fishing from their outrigger canoes are happy to give visitors a ride out to the reef to enjoy snorkelling.

Birdwatching: There is birdwatching at Lake Kutubu and Wasi Falls. Ambua Lodge, surrounded by dense tropical rainforest, and Lakwanda Lodge, near Tari, also have good birdwatching.
Sightseeing tours: Ambua Lodge organises a range of guided tours. Walk along rainforest tracks to go birdwatching, take a trip down the river to see the waterfalls or go by 4WD to visit a village and watch a traditional 'sing sing'. Kiburu Lodge, on the banks of the Mendi River, has a wide range of activities including cultural tours, mountain climbing and flora and fauna expeditions. Lakwanda Lodge offers orchid tours, skeleton cave tours, trekking, bush walking and other cultural activities.
KIUNGA NATURE TOUR is based in Kiunga, Western Province of Papua New Guinea, far northwest of Port Moresby and sharing international land border with Indonesia (West Papua). Kiunga Nature Touris is an ecotourism business engaged in promoting bird watching and other tourism activities such as jungle trekking, general sightseeing, arts and singsings (traditional song and dance), canoeing, fresh water fishing, arts and crafts displays. We operate birding tours in Kiunga, Tabubil and Upper Might Fly River areas which are home to well over 300 bird species. We can also arrange birding tours in Tari, Mt. Hagen, and Port Moresby.
Mount Hagen: Set in the large Wahgi Valley, with its neat villages, gardens, coffee plantations and groves of casuarinas, this busy town has a wild-west feel about it. All main banks and airlines have offices here. The market, located at the corner of Wahgi Parade and Kum Road, is the place to see colourfully attired locals, particularly on Saturdays, as well as fresh produce, pigs, feathers, and maybe cassowaries. The men traditionally grow a long beard and the women wear an array of brilliant scarves and carry their brightly coloured string bags, or bilums. Bilums are used to carry everything from babies to firewood.
Mount Hagen Show: Held the third weekend in August, this amazing show is the place to see the fantastic traditional costumes and headdresses decorated with bird of paradise plumes and the cuscus fur that Wahgi people wear.
Art & Craft: Traditional weapons, bilums and Highlands hats, decorated with cuscus fur, are available from the larger hotels and around the town. The Cultural Centre has a reconstructed village hut and a museum with artefacts.
Archeological Sites: The Kuk Valley is a site where land was first cultivated for gardening. Check with the Cultural Centre or hotels for permission to visit.
Walking/trekking: Walks of various lengths can be done from Haus Poroman Lodge, phone (675) 542 2722, through forest or to villages and plantations. Longer and more strenuous hikes can be taken from the city to the towering peaks of Mount Hagen (3791m), Mount Ongo, Mount Kubor, Mount Kini Kaino Ku, and Mount Giluwe (4368m). Trans Niugini Tours, on Kongin Street behind the hospital, can also organise tours and treks, as well as
Paradise Adventure Tours (675) 542 1696.
Birdwatching: Baiyer River Wildlife Sanctuary north of Mount Hagen is one of the best places to see Papua New Guinea's colourful birds of paradise.
Diving and snorkelling: Kimbe Bay is famous for its huge corals, big fish and caves. Land-based diving is available from Walindi Plantation Resort; phone (675) 983 5441, which also has a live-aboard, the MV Febrina, and from Hoskins with Dive Hoskins at Palm Lodge Hoskins. Snorkelling at Walindi is also rewarding.
Fishing: Big fish found off Kimbe Bay are blue and black marlin, sail fish and dog-tooth tuna while the waterways around Kandrian, on the south coast, and Talasea, are known for spot-tail bass. For the ultimate Papua New Guinea fishing experience, combine a Madang adventure with a trip to Arrjim Island Bass Fishing Camp on the remote south coast of West New Britain. It is internationally renowned for its black and spot-tail bass.
Trekking: Good trekking can be done in the Cape Gloucester area where Mount Langila is still rumbling gently. The Kandrian area is very beautiful and you can walk from Kandrian along the coast to Eseli, staying in guesthouses. From Talasea you can walk out to Cape Hollman on the Willaumez Peninsula. Lake Dakataua, at the end of the peninsula, was formed after a giant eruption in 1884, and it's a picturesque spot to explore. Contact Ecotourism Melanesia, phone (675) 323 4518, www.em.com.pg.
On Pangula Island, across from Talasea is the Valley of Wabua, meaning Valley of Hot Water, a mass of thermal geysers.
Apart from Walindi Resort there are several other options for accommodation including the Palm Lodge in the provincial headquarters of Kimbe; the Hoskins Hotel in the small town of Hoskins where the main airport for West New Britain is located; the Kautaga Guest Haus on a small island off the western side of the peninsular and the Bialla Guest House.
Air Niugini and a number of third level airlines fly via Hoskins airport from other parts of Papua New Guinea every day. There are also a number of coastal ships which call in at Kimbe on their way to and from Lae and Rabaul

abetterlovedeservingof asked you:
A ficlet about Snowbunny, perhaps?blackcatula asked you:
Snowbunny! (Ice Queen/Fionna)
She stomps into the castle uninvited as always: throws free her rucksack and tosses away her sword. As the blade goes clattering into the kitchen—"Wenk!" chides Gertrude—she folds, falling facedown onto the couch across the Ice Queen's unsuspecting lap. Frost gleams in the ragged twist of her hair, and the slush on her boots drips to the floor to craft small, shimmery puddles. Thwip-twip-thwip.
"As I've told you three times already," says the monarch, "I won't consent to a duel with you until I am finished with this." She scarcely glances up from her magazine, but her mouth puckers and she continues, "Tsk. You're making a mess."
"Simoooone," groans Fionna. Into the Ice Queen's thigh she thrusts an elbow, squirming: when she turns her face sidelong to the older woman's stomach, the heat of her cheek and brow sears through the fabric there. "I'm tired of waiting, glob, and it's snowing buckets and I—"
Dropping her magazine to curl her fingers about the ears of Fionna's hat, the Ice Queen pulls the girl's head aloft. She interjects delicately, "Patience, my dear"—against the swell of Fionna's throat her other hand curves, nails grating—"is quite a virtue."

The 11th Avenue Inn is a charming B&B in an excellent location. The inn is spotlessly clean, our room was comfortable, and the breakfasts were outstanding. We would stay there again if we return to Seattle.

This is a wonderful bed and breakfast in a quiet neighborhood. It is a little bit of a walk to the downtown (uphill on the way back), but there is bus stop right across the street if you want to take public transportation. David was very welcoming and accommodating. He provides a great deal of information on places to see and restaurants locally. Everything is very clean and well kept. Breakfast was amazing. I would go back here in a heart beat. Stay here, you won't regret it!

We will stay here again. In over 20 years, this is the first B & B that we have stayed at where the Inn keeper, David, meet us outside by our car! What a wonderful greeting! He was very helpful. The staff were also very pleasant. We had a wonderful breakfast with GREAT coffee. Our room was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. My husband to walk to work and I walked the neighborhood. Christine, who made a tasty omelet, suggested a walking direction. I felt very comfortable walking around Volunteer Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. David didn't mind that after leaving our room for our stay, that I could sit in their front room to read. It was all so very relaxing. Having a place to park the car off of the street is very nice. A simple, comfortable place to stay is what you will get. David and the staff make you feel like you are at home. They had bowls of snacks downstairs- just nice little touches.

The 11th Avenue Inn is a charming, clean home -- formerly a pastor's family residence, not far from the Seattle harbor. Big plusses are friendly, responsive host and staff, delicious food, off-street parking, lovely neighborhood. Walk to comfy restaurants or Pike's Market. A keeper.

Very charming b&b, with wonderful woodwork, excellent staff, delightful food, and an inn keeper who is happy to giving you directions or look up something of interest to make your stay more enjoyable. All of the rooms I saw had a private shower, wardrobe, and charm. Almost in the heart of Seattle, the Space Needle and down town are just blocks away, we walked to just about everywhere. I would definetely stay there again. Leslie and Joe of North Pole

text: I gave it four stars because it is def. four star worthy but I'm not sure if it's "worthy of a special occasion". This was a great week night all-American dinner. I made the hamburger steaks with the Smoky Green Beans and mushrooms and mashed potatoes and THE KEY is to make that exact menu. I don't think this meal would stand up alone with out the mashed potatoes. It was really good. Even better as leftovers for lunch! Will be making again.

I told my oldest kids about the rescued Ohio women. I told them never to take rides from anyone and never to walk over to a car or van while waiting for the school bus. I told them the girls had been kidnapped and held for 10 years. I told them to know I would never send anyone to get them that they didn't know and to always stay with a group.
My 10-year-old son told me to PLEASE stop telling him about news events that they were upsetting to him.
So I am wondering did you tell your kids (what age?) about the kidnapped girls/women? Was it a teachable moment to never get in the car with a stranger or was it just too horrific to share with them? How much detail did you share if you told them about the case? When is something just too awful to tell them? What news events have you shared with them this year and what events haven't you shared?

Does your son lament things so heavily often? That's a little reason for concern.
We told both of our kids about this as well as the Boston and Connecticut school shooting. I guess they are both like me in the sense that they digest the information and move on.
My wife is a terrible worrier. I think it makes her crazy that the other three of us in the house kind of go with the flow.

By all means, shield your children from the reality that is the present day. When/If they become adults they will be ready for w/e they world has to throw at them.
May 14th, 2013
9:49 am
So I am wondering did you tell your kids (what age?) about the kidnapped girls/women? Yes both my 11 and 13 yo were told. I did see it as a time to remind them of the safety rules we had discussed most of their lives. Also, there was an email the NEXT DAY about a Pope HS girl who was approached by a man in a van (the police said he did not attempt to force her into the car and he is being investigated. He gave her a business card…contact Pct 4 in Cobb for more detail).
Was it a teachable moment to never get in the car with a stranger or was it just too horrific to share with them? TWG, there are horrific things out there you need to share with your kids! Sorry but that is life. I am sure that when Laurie Lynn Landt was kidnapped (raped and murdered) from Akers Mill, where the most of us went to the movies my parents were not thrilled to have to tell me (I was about Rose's age). Her brother's were in my classes at school. I still remember the new reports, her mother on the tv, and how I wanted to help (we sent a gift basket from our grade over to them).
How much detail did you share if you told them about the case? We discussed the basics that we knew…they had accepted rides, were raped, were held in bonds, and were gone from everyone they knew for 10 years. That they were LUCKY they were not killed, and that they did find a way to escape but that MOST of the time that is not the case.
When is something just too awful to tell them? At Rose's & Walsh's age…very little. Liliana you have some time still. With your older one's, they are likely to hear it at school. BOTH of mine (ES & MS) came home telling me what they had heard at school. So we discussed that too.
What news events have you shared with them this year and what events haven't you shared? Aurora, CT, Boston, TX, the plant in N. GA that exploded. Some of Benghazi, North Korea. ALmost everything about both the CCSD and the Federal economic issues.
TWG, as parents we want to protect our kids. Rose and Walsh are very close in age to mine. So I really get it.
However, part of protecting them is letting them know the real dangers in the world and what to do. Helping them to think and how to make good choices. Hopefully to one day help be part of the solutions to reslove the mess we adults create (like the every increasing spending issues!)

There are ways to share information and get your kids to understand the seriousness of a situation without scaring them. And you shouldn't just warn them about strangers; the reality is, they are more likely to be picked up by someone they do know (just like Ariel Castro knew one of the girls he kidnapped).
Walsh is either over sensitive or you are sharing way too much information with him and making him paranoid.
May 14th, 2013
10:00 am
Why tell them and add unneeded stress to their lives? If they see this on the news or friends talk about it then answer the questions. But at their age the only reason to bring it up is to scare them.
Age appropriate is the point here. Teaching your children basic safety rules is one thing, but discussing this particular event should be done with the age of the children firmly in mind.
We talk constantly about children growing up to soon. This type of discussion is an example. Why would I expect to have an adult discussion with elementary age children? And this topic certainly comes under adult discussion. Did you include the years of rape in the discussion? The other physical abuse? A child growing up as a hostage too? None of this seems appropriate for younger children. Remember that for most children their fears are different than those of adults. Why go the extra step to impose adult fears on them at an inappropriately young age? Pay more attention to what your children are saying and realize that they are not yet ready for adult conversations and concerns.

My daughter is 8 and I talked about it with her. It was all over the television news and on the internet new sites. I talked about it in an age appropriate way, but I still talked about it. We talked about the bombing in Boston too. My daughter is a worrier like TWG's son seems to be, but I have found that if I do it the right way she worries less. I will never NOT tell her anything. For one thing I want her well informed about the world we live in. I also don't want her to hear bits and pieces and make her own conclusions. That is what causes confusion and fear…even in adults.
May 14th, 2013
10:51 am
I don't think it's necessary to share all these news stories with kids or that sharing so much makes them safer. I get what FCM is saying about her parents having shared what happened to someone at her local hangout, but the problem is, we're now in a 24h news cycle where stories that were once local are broadcast nationally if they're likely to boost ratings (especially if they involve pretty women/girls as victims or murderers). I think it's often just too much and that Walsh shows a certain maturity in recognizing that too much bad news is making him anxious. Most adults know that as scary as this is, it's relatively rare, but when kids hear so many of these stories, it can make the world seem like a scarier place than it is — the reporting of horrific crimes is often disproportionate, but they're too young to get that. Share what they are likely to hear about anyway (like the Ohio story, which was huge) and discuss it with them, but refrain from pointing out most of the scary stories that hit cable news and the morning shows. And in this case, in addition to reminding them about stranger danger, stress what the actual "news" is — that the women were found! And that when he heard their cries, a man ran to help! Help them find the good shown by people when tragedy strikes, not just the evil. And remind them that as awful as it is, things like this don't happen to to the vast majority of people, so while they should do what they can to keep themselves safe, they shouldn't live in fear.
If a scary news story is not local and doesn't make the front page of a print version of the newspaper or the half-hour evening national news, I'd say don't share it with them at all.

If I had a child under 14, probably not. I would have already spent years talking to them about rides from no family members, taking medicine or drugs, etc. and of course they were well supervised.
I was allowed, on pretty days, to walk home from school, a distance of about 2 miles. It was in a suburban area, bit a half mile ir so was beside vacant land next to the river. I had been told to NEVER get in the car with ANYONE, so when our neighbor, the pastor's wife, stopped and offered me a ride, I said, "no, my mom says I can't ride with you." By the time I got home she had jumped on my mother(bad mistake) about why I could not ride with her, and my mother explained that she did not want me to have to decide who was "safe" so that was the rule. Caused a considerable flutter in the neighborhood.

I was 8-9 at the time.
Theresa, you seem to be a fearful person yourself, so you might dial back your level of discussion, or you might end up with scared children of your own. Answer their questions, for sure, but don't turn it into a horror story for them. JMHO.
May 14th, 2013
11:47 am
Interesting question to pose. Ten years ago when Amanda went missing, I used it as a teaching moment to my then 9 year old daughter. (We live in the Cleveland area) Then when Gina went missing a year later, I drove the point home even further. I am glad I did. She is now 19 and just completing here freshman year of college in NYC. She has a health paranoia about strangers, but is still a very outgoing person. She will be home tomorrow, so I haven't had the chance to talk to her about the women being found. As for my younger children now (5 & 8) thay can't escape the facts of the story plastered all over – tv, radio. I just review what proper strager safety is.
I think it is TOTALLY appropriate to talk to your son about this. Now that the subject was talked about already,you don't have to beat the issue. Just a friendly reminder about stranger safety when your son heads out the door.

'Was it a teachable moment to never get in the car with a stranger or was it just too horrific to share with them?'
I read somewhere that most abductions are done by people that they do know. Wasn't one of the girls that Ariel Castro kidnapped the best friend of his daughter? And videos I have seen of stranger abductions show the abductor grabbing the child and putting them in a vehicle not luring them in.
May 14th, 2013
1:52 pm
I have asked myself this same question about my son… I want him to understand the seriousness and dangers that are out there, but I don't want to turn him into a paranoid person either…. the direction of this world though – i think they do need to know, with a filter…..
May 14th, 2013
2:01 pm
@ to FCM….that was TWG's question not mine. My reply to it did not address stranger or known person. In the Laurie Lynn Landt case she did not know her abductor (according to her father). In the case of these Ohio girls I think at least one did. I also said at the time the story first broke that if Amanda called home to say she had a ride she knew her captor. Surely at 17 she knew not to go with a stranger. However, if this Castro guy had been in her Burger King often she might have been ok with it.
May 14th, 2013
6:14 pm
We have an obligation to teach our kids how to stay safe. We don't have an obligation to sensationalize this situation for these poor young women. I hope this is a "one-off" situation, but I fear that it is not.
I do think we must tell our children what to do/not to do.

Druid Hills guard Deshon Burgess scored 20 of his 23 points after halftime to help the Red Devils defeat Douglas County 72-63 in a Class AAAAAA first-round playoff game Wednesday night.
Burgess scored 13 of his second-half total in the fourth quarter, including nine from the free throw line. He also hit a jumper to put his team ahead for good at 57-56 inside of four minutes to play, and completed a 3-point play to put Druid Hills up 62-58 with at 2:12 to go.
"He's a three-year starter for us," Druid Hills coach Jerome Lee said of the 6-4 senior. "He's been our leader all year long."
The teams played furiously in the first half and Douglas County led by as many as 10 early in the second quarter, but Druid Hills fought back to lead 33-31 at halftime behind hot shooting from senior guard Kyle Simmons. Simmons hit five of his six 3-point baskets in the first half, including one a few seconds before the break.
Justin Bridges scored a game-high 29 points for Douglas County. His layup with 4:07 left gave the Tigers the lead at 56-55, just before the Red Devils reclaimed it with Burgess' shot. He also grabbed seven rebounds. Kalen Clifton scored 11 and Tevin Lighty added 10 points for the Tigers (15-13), who were held to their third-lowest scoring output of the season after going over 80 points 15 times.
Druid Hills (17-9) finished 5-7 in Region 2-AAAAAA but won the post-season tournament behind upsets of regular-season champ Rockdale County in the championship game and runner-up Luella in the semifinals. The Red Devils reached the field of 32 with a first-round win over Lovejoy.
"Last year we suffered a heartbreaker," Lee said of a last-second loss to Stone Mountain in the Region 5-AAA tournament. "We all stood there and looked at the scoreboard like, is this it? I told my guys that this year we would come back and finish games, take care of business. And we did that."
Fellow seniors Jacob King and 6-8 center Clarence Williams added nine points apiece for Druid Hills, who will host the Campbell-Brunswick winner on Saturday.
Druid Hills (72) – Deshon Burgess 23, Kyle Simmons 20, Clarence Williams 9, Jacob King 9, Alonzo Brantley 7, Desham During 4
Douglas County (63) – Justin Bridges 29, Kalen Clifton 11, Tevin Lighty 10, Brandon Robinson 7, Cory Tillery 5, Tre McMurtry 1

Another shoulda, woulda. We played without our best player, the refs were horrible, so and so got hurt, the coach blew the game, they didn't call a timeout when they should have….whine, whine whine. Any team that is not prepared when a player gets hurt should not be here. Every team goes thru the year with a player loss to injury, ineligible, football season, suspension and so on. As a coach you prepare your team to take these hits. So please you and anyone else who whines, exit left.

Coach Lee need to take better care of himself, 89% of adults are over weight. Coach you did a great job of wining the basketball game now try to win the game of LIFE SO YOU CAN BE AROUND AND WIN MANY MORE BASKETBALL GAMES!

However, if you don't need the advanced features DVD Shop provides, there are software-only packages that can handle each aspect of what DVD Shop does and are not tied to a piece of hardware.

PLOVER, WI (WSAU) - Toro has been found.
The Wood County sheriffs department says their missing police dog was found around 9:30 Tuesday morning. Details of the recovery have not been made public. More information is expected this afternoon.
Lt. Shawn Becker from the Wood County Sheriff's Department said yesterday that searchers had been at the scene west of Plover, and initially found no signs of the german shepherd named Toro. "We've got the Spirit helicopter helping us out from the air, several snowmobiles are out helping, and a lot of ground units as well."
Becker says Toro went into the woods during an assist Sunday night at a Highway 54 traffic stop. "Deputy Joe Zurfluh was working at the time with his K9 unit Toro. Portage County didn't have a K9 unit available, so we sent him over here. They were doing a search on the vehicle, probably for drugs, and during that search the dog did get away from Deputy Zurfluh."
The dog disappeared in an area between Highway 54 and the Wisconsin River that is mostly woods, fields, and cranberry bogs. There are some residences along the river, but few houses between there and the highway.
Becker is not sure what distracted the police dog, but did say it's highly unusual. "He's an animal, so it's hard to say, but we're going to guess it's probably another animal that was in the area, got his attention, and he ran towards it."
Searchers were worried he may have the leash hung up on something in the woods. The dog may have gone without food and water for nearly a day-and-a-half.

I suggest an organized student lobby to work to improve our library, delegation chairmen to coordinate representation on administrative committees, and ID-Discount and Tenant Union for economic assistance. My experience working with state and " student government will help solve your problems." Hunter states, "What I have tried to do in this campaign is to project to the studentbody where my emphasis as studentbody president will be. I feel there needs to be greater emphasis on academics, student rights, and the image that we project to the community. After all, the image we project has a direct bearing on job opportunities, and graduate opportunities. Believe me when I say 'I want to work for the betterment of Weber State'.

Now is the time to make your voice heard by voting for the candidate of your choice. "This year, the primary thrust of student government has been one of a change in attitudes. We have tried to become less "activity- oriented" and more 'education-oriented." The emphasis has changed to where our major concerns are the quality of education at Weber State and student rights and problems.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.
