I know which ones I'd rather keep!
When I moved in with my ex-boyfriend, the taxidermist, he was concerned that my cats, Buster and Pandora, would scratch and shred his taxidermied animal trophies. He tried to convince me to have my cats declawed. I told him that I could never do this to my cats, that it was just too cruel. My ex said, "Well, you had Buster's balls cut off, if I had to choose between my balls and my nails, I know which ones I'd rather keep!" By the way my cats never did scratch his animals. Buster used to sit on the moose head between the antlers, but that's about as much attention they paid to the stuffed animals. They probably felt it was best to keep a low profile in that house. They could have gotten stuffed. They knew if it happened to bigger and smarter animals than they were, it could happen to any one. The neighbor kids called my ex's house, "The Dead Zoo."

Updated on Friday 16th June 2017
Rate this article 5 reviewsbased on
In case your toilet has leaks or cracks, utilizes too much water per flush or simply has grown out of fashion, it might be the time to replace it. You might consider hiring a good plumber in Singapore for the supply and installation of a new toilet bowl.
We invite you to watch the following video on how to install a toilet bowl:
We invite you to watch the following video on how to install a toilet bowl:
Installation of Toilet Bowl in Singapore
For the installation of a new toilet bowl, the following steps are taken:
1. Removing the old toilet:
It implies:
• turning off the water at the shutoff valve;
• flushing the toilet to let all the water out from the toilet tank and bowl;
• using a plunger to push any water left down the drain line;
• removing any water from the tank with a sponge and a bucket. If you need the help of a reliable plumber in Singapore who will safely remove the old toilet, feel free to ask for our assistance.
2. Disconnecting the supply line:
It consists of:
• disconnecting the supply line with an adjustable wrench;
• maintaining the water pipe secure when attempting to loosen the supply line from the valve.
3. Lifting the tank and toilet bowl:
This involves:
• disconnecting and taking away the tank from the bowl by extracting the bolts from the bottom of the tank, using an adjustable wrench;
• taking out the tank by lifting it.
4. Unbolting the tank and toilet bowl from the floor:
It is made of:
• popping the toilet bolt caps;
• utilizing a pair of pliers or an adjustable wrench to take out the nuts and washers on the bolts which secure the bowl to the floor.
5. Verifying for caulking around the bowl base:
It entails:
• verifying if the toilet bowl was caulked around the base where it joints with the floor;
• lightly rocking the toilet bowl back and forwards until it can be freed and lifted.
6. Verifying the bolt around the flange:
It consists of:
• verifying the state of the current toilet bowl bolts in the flange from the floor drain;
• removing the old wax ring by utilizing a putty knife and wiping away all excess with a damp sponge or rag;
• stuffing a rag into the open line in the floor.
7. Inspecting the flange for any damages:
It involves:
• Inspecting the flange.
8. Placing the new wax ring:
It implies:
• either resting the new toilet bowl on the side and attaching the replacement wax ring at the bottom of the bowl; or
• more commonly, one of our plumbers in Singapore will be placing the wax ring in position on the flange before setting the bowl into its place.
9. Placing the toilet bowl on the flange:
It implicates:
• aligning the bolt holes at the base of the bowl with the bolts inside the flange.
10. Securing the toilet:
It is made of:
• placing a washer and nut on every toilet bowl bolt and tightening evenly the nuts onto the bolts;
• cutting any excess bolts from over the top of the washers and nuts with a hacksaw;
• placing the tank onto the bowl, arranging the shank of the bolts with the holes in the bowl.
11. Attaching the tank to the toilet bowl:
It consists of:
• putting the tank on the floor;
• installing the "tank to bowl" gasket onto the base of the flush valve and inserting the tank bolts and washers from the inside of the tank if necessary;
• putting the tank on the bowl;
• securing the tank;
• reattaching the supply line;
• testing the toilet for any leaks.
12. Choosing a brand new toilet seat: from our experience, most toilets with two pieces are not supplied with a toilet seat. This has to be bought separately. Choose a toilet seat which fits the toilet model of your choice.
Supply of Toilet Bowls in Singapore
We have supplied and installed toilet bowls in Singapore for many years as well as serviced many other different plumbing issues. Please contact our plumbers in Singapore to find out more.

Especially for Lametrics without Battery it would be nice, that LaMetric turns on, when the Power is back on.
In our Company the power is turned of from 10pm to 6am. Every morning somebody has to turn it on. If it turnes on automatically, it would be really nice.
agreed really need this, especially if I'm going to use this as a smart alarm clock ....
Thank you for your ideas on device improvements. Every update is based on your experience of using LaMetric Time.
We considered your requests and the next batch of LaMetric device is being produced with a feature allowing the device to be turned on automatically after the power goes on again. It is completely new solution and unfortunately cannot be applied to previous versions of devices, technically it cannot be implemented.
Meanwhile, you can use some kind of powerbank with your device to make it portable and not dependent on power.
Many supercaps offer 5v - the same as USB, so why not make a little UPS of sorts to keep your LaMetric on during a power glitch.
USB from wall wart > super cap > USB into LaMetric

The US Central Intelligence Agency has degenerated into an American Gestapo. The CIA represents sixty years of failure and fascism utterly at odds with the spirit of democracy. The Agency needs to be closed quickly and closed permanently. Langley is a foul stain on the American flag.
Over the years the CIA has given US presidents so much wrong information on so many critical issues, broken so many laws, subverted so many elections, overthrown so many governments, funded so many dictators, and killed and tortured so many innocent human beings that the pages of its official history could be written in blood, not ink. People the world over regard the CIA as infamous, and that evaluation, sadly for the reputation of America, is largely accurate. More about Halliburton and CIA corruption can be found here.

Honestly, though, you need to make it a bit less obvious in future.
Honestly, though, you need to make it a bit less obvious in future.
So we're at a problem here. How many people saw what Ralara said? If it's 20% of the players, might want to just share it for everyone to know. If it's 1 or 2, then we can ask them to ignore it. For myself I missed it.
Either way, just chalk it up to Ralara's first time. He can be punished next round with a first turn kill ;-).
So, the easiest fix to this little situation is a bit more info, as it'll even the playing ground. Ralara's night action didn't change anything. Neither Steph nor Quarantine were the target of any night actions, so he didn't change a damn thing.
Or someone has a retaliate in action, and the vigilante tripped it...
Oh well, wasn't really putting the effort into this one anyways.
Pretty quiet here.

Allowing the doctor to protect himself is pants on head retarded.
I'm hoping it was just a desperation play on his part and not actually allowed.
I assume coinflip. Heads you survive, tails you die anyway.
I protected myself every round except the one I died in :V

Zoella Beauty Range | Soap Opera
It is the time of the month where I would usually write a monthly favourites post but this month I haven't really had any new favourites throughout October so I thought instead I would write a post on something from Zoella's new beauty range (It was released in Superdrug stores and online at superdrug.com and feelunique.com last month) - the soap opera bath soak and shower cream!
I only picked it up yesterday but have already used it twice and can say that I really love it! It has a lovely fresh fragrance to it and with just a small amount added to running water, it makes loads of bubbles (as you can see from my photos!). It also leaves your skin feeling super soft. I really want to buy the perfume soon too but unfortunately it was sold out when I was shopping yesterday - but hey what can you expect with Zoe having over 6 million subscribers! I really adore the packaging of the whole range too! It completely sums Zoe up with her logo printed on each item and is super cute and girly with the pastel colour theme throughout the range.
Other products in the range include a body lotion, bath fizzers, a body mist, a candle and there is also two super cute make-ups (an eye aqua green one and a pink guinea pig one!). All can be bought for just under £50.
It is a great collection and its so lovely to see all the blogging and YouTube community come together when Zoe announced the range earlier this year. I can only see the future getting even more brighter for Zoe especially with the release of her first book in a few weeks (cant wait to get that too!) It is so great to see someone who I have been watching on YouTube for the past three years grow and have as much success as she has! She is a true inspiration to all young people and I wish her the best of luck for the future!
Have you brought anything from Zoella Beauty?

Condensed Matter Physics (PHYS202)
Level 2 Credit level 15 Semester First Semester Exam:Coursework weighting 70:30 Aims
The aims of Phys202 are to introduce the most important and basic concepts in condensed matter physics relating to the different materials we commonly see in the world around us. Condensed matter physics is one of the most active areas of research in modern physics, whose scope is extremely broad. The ultimate aim of this course is to introduce its central ideas and methodology to the students.
Condensed matter refers to both liquids and solids and all kinds of other forms of matter in between those two extremes, generally known as "soft matter". While the course will touch on liquids, the emphasis will be on crystalline solids, including some nano-materials. The reason for focusing on crystals is that the periodicity of a crystal is what allows us to make progress in developing a theory for various phenomena in solids based on first principles. Two important concepts are:
• the electronic states of electrons in a solid and
• the vibrations of atoms in the solid.
The description of these ideas basically refer to the theory of electronic band structure and the theory of phonons. These concepts form the basis for understanding a wide range of phenomena including how the atoms bond together to form the crystal, what are some basic statistical properties like specific heat, how electrons move in solids and electronic transport, why are some materials metals and others semiconductors and insulators, and how do solids interact with electromagnetic fields. The course will also introduce optical and magnetic properties in solids, scattering phenomena, thermal conductivity and effect of defects in solids, semiconductors, magnetism and go beyond the free electron model to touch on intriguing effects such as superconductivity.
Learning Outcomes
On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to understand the basic concepts of bonding in solids, establish an understanding of electron configuration in atoms and in the condensed matter in terms of bonding, and relating them to band structure description.Students will be able to understand how solid structures are described mathematically and how material properties can be predicted.
Students will be able to establish a foundation in basic crystallography, using Bragg''s law, and understand the concept of the reciprocal lattice.
Students will understand basic transport properties, both electronic and thermal, in solids. Students will understand the concept of electron and hole carrier statistics, effective masses and transport in intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors
Students will learn the basics of magnetism, the atomic origin and classical treatment of diamagnetism and paramagnetism, quantization of angular momentum and Hund''s rule, and introduced to weak magnetism in solids.
Students will become familiar to the general language of condensed matter physics, key theories and concepts, ultimately enebling them to read and understand research papers.

The Age Of Steel
The Doctor (David Tennant) manages to stop certain death at the hands of the Cybermen by using the power
cell from the TARDIS, and he and the rest of his party -- including Rose (Billie Piper), Mickey (Noel Clarke), Ricky, Pete
Tyler (Shaun Dingwall) and Jake (Andrew Hayden-Smith) -- are rescued by the van driven by Mrs Moore (Helen Griffin). Pete
confesses that he's the Preachers' spy inside the Cybus Corporation. They escape and split up, but Ricky is killed by pursuing
Cybermen, electrocuted while struggling to get free.John Lumic (Roger Lloyd-Pack) begins operating his master plan.
Cybus Industries sends a control signal to everyone wearing the earpods, including most of London; the controlled populace
begin a march toward Cybus facilities where they will be "upgraded" to Lumic's design. However, the Cybermen are one step
ahead of him, realizing that he too is human and inferior to them; they set about "upgrading" him as well.When Jake
realizes Ricky is dead, he lashes out at Mickey, but the two are forced to team up again when they attack the main Cybus facility.
Mickey and Jake spot a zeppelin hovering over the plant, while Rose and Pete masquerade as controlled Cyber-subjects, marching
in the front door. The Doctor and Mrs Moore enter through the cooling tunnels below the station, but after meeting a Cyberman
who they realize has been affected by a faulty inhibitor (one who remembers her origins), Mrs Moore is killed and the Doctor
is captured. Rose and Pete, meanwhile, discover that Jackie (Camille Coduri) has already been turned into a Cyberman inside
the plant.The Doctor confronts the Cyber-Controller, the "upgraded" John Lumic, while on the zeppelin, Mickey and
Jake attempt to take control of the ship and fight off a Cyberman at the same time. They are able to stop the control signal
and the humans are released. The Doctor pleads with Lumic to stop what he's doing; Lumic, in his quest to create a utopian
society, has bred all humanity out of his subjects. Mickey, meanwhile, discovers the code for the Cyber control systems, and
the Doctor uses it to make all of the Cybermen go mad -- they realize what Lumic has done to them, and are no longer a threat.
As Lumic's facility goes down in flames, Mickey and Jake take off in the zeppelin, but drag a ladder behind them so that the
Doctor, Rose and Pete are able to escape. The Cyber-Controller pursues them, but falls from the ladder to his death.The
Doctor, Rose and Mickey return to the TARDIS, where Mickey confesses that he has decided to remain behind -- in this universe,
he is no longer the useless sidekick but, in Ricky's shoes, has the chance to do good. Rose resists the idea but eventually
the two say goodbye to their friend and the TARDIS departs, fully recharged but unable to return to this universe in the future.
As the Doctor and Rose return to our universe, Mickey contemplates his future, telling Jake he's not his counterpart, but
his own man, and the two set out to set Cybus Industries' terror to right.

You guessed the name Bucolic says i like, or is that me and The Monkey like a good walk and the Redmires Water-Treatment Works Sheffield Reservoirs are a group of three reservoirs in Fulwood, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. They are fed from the Hallam Moors by various small streams including Fairthorn Clough. The three reservoirs are named Upper, Middle and Lower and date from 1830s. The area is popular with walkers and bird watchers. A path from the Upper reservoir leads onto the moors and to Stanedge Pole.
Well, there had to be a filter house, we knew this due to the fact there is a new one, built 1971, like Bradfield we suspected the same infrastructure would be in place here, so a mooch around and we find the old 1949 one and unlike Bradfield, this place was fully intact.
This was a while back and G Barnsley and Sons has taken over our thoughts, but today we needed to look for something new, and if we failed at least we had a good old walk in The Bucolic.
So last time round on me own I failed (some urban exlporer Bucolic is) today with The Monkey and we are in, it seems last time used 5 years back looking at things left, it could have been longer looking at the peeling paint and decay.
This had it all dials, switches, left objects, and we let the images speak for what we found, here is more info on Redmires Water-Treatment Works Sheffield Reservoir here and some images from when we mooched around the empty reservoir and some more images from our mooch are here
Words do fail this time round on this place, we needed a new playground following Barnsley's and the events of the last week. Onto some images then, oh enjoy because I know we did taking them..

Another corn recipe from the Iowa girl!
Every year our friends have a 4th of July Party at their house. This year unfortunately it was too hot to have everyone over so just a few of us got together to hang out. It was still a really fun day even though it was more low key. All of our friends within the last year had babies so it is always fun to see them as they are growing up. It was especially cool to see the really young ones get into the fireworks. I couldn't believe how mesmerized some of the babies were. Streamwood, where we went to watch the fireworks, have some of the best firework shows I have ever seen, so I can see why the kids enjoy it so much!
I was asked to bring an appetizer this year, so I decided to bring Corn dip. When deciding to make something for a party I, a. always bring something I know that I will like because of my whole onion thing.....and b. like to make something that stays good if it gets set out for awhile. I am a big dip person so I will usually bring a dip if I am making an appetizer.
I have a weird thing with using canned vegetables so any recipe that calls for canned I just thaw out frozen vegetables, which is what I did with this recipe. But if you prefer canned that works as well. The last few times I have made this recipe everyone always says how much they like it. It is great with tortilla chips and who doesn't like corn?!?!

How do you deal with "agreeing to disagree" when the person you're "agreeing" with still holds your position in utter contempt?
I try very hard not to be hurt or bitter when people reject my beliefs. And it's better to walk away with a simple "agree to disagree" than to end in a damaging debate. Right?
I want to leave debates respectfully, saying: "I now know what you mean when you say you're [insert label], as opposed to what my assumption was. I don't agree with you that your position is correct, but I understand that you are intelligent, you've done your research. And I can respect you for that. I can respect your conclusion and worldview as well, because it is clear that there are convincing arguments in your favor. I just happen to be more convinced by other arguments."
But why is it that when people say they "agree to disagree," they so often mean "I think you're an ignorant person with a stupid worldview that I've read critiques of. And by the way, I hate your position. But I don't want to argue any more, so let's just agree to disagree."
And what then is the proper response? Do you say, "Wait, I want to agree to disagree, but only if you at least stop hating my worldview?" Probably not.
So do you just agree? I guess. Agreeing in a kind and understanding way is probably better than getting into a fist fight (or whatever the equivalent is over social media). Maybe that's the way to go – if you can't earn their respect you should at least deserve it. Right?
I think that's right. But man, is it ever unsatisfying.

Hey all-- K and I leave for Costa Rica in the morning. Right now I am blogging instead of packing. But that is the sort of person I am.
As you know, I am sort of the Lucy Ricardo of the international travel set. I am always meeting famous people, having crazy adventures, falling down stairs and coming up with crazy schemes. We'll see if I can update from CR or, if not, I'll fill you when we get home.

Preparations Underway For 31st Annual San Diego Veterans Day Parade
Friday, November 10, 2017
Credit: Matt Hoffman/KPBS
Veterans Week San Diego is getting ready for a big parade, and a big crowd to go with it Saturday. The organization expects as many as 80,000 people to attend its Veterans Day Parade.
The parade will begin on Harbor Drive near Waterfront Park at 11 a.m., then continue south toward the USS Midway Museum before ending near Pacific Highway at 1 p.m.
"This is a big responsibility," said Veterans Week San Diego President Jack Harkins, "to have charge of the celebration of Veterans Day for a county with 250,000 veterans residing here."
The parade will feature veterans from all branches of the military. Active-duty personnel from the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy and U.S Coast Guard will also be participating this year.
"That has become now the largest public parading of active duty, men and women in uniform, in formation, anywhere in the country," said Harkins. "There will be over 1,000, probably close to 1,600."
RELATED: Some Government Offices Will Be Closed For Veterans Day Holiday
Harkins said anywhere near the mile-long route is good for viewing, but those looking for a special spot should sit near the end of the parade's route.
"At that point, the people marching in the parade become attentive to the sidelines because they're looking for that family or friend who said 'I'll meet you at the end,'" he said. "They are over looking at you, so that's a fun place to be."
The 31st annual San Diego Veterans Day Parade is 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday near Waterfront Park in downtown.

Mac Right-Click Hard-coded as option click?
joshjacobson last edited by
Option + click appears to be hard-coded into Vivaldi. My 'right click' functionality comes from a two finger click in the lower right of my trackpad. Vivaldi is, as far as I know, the only app to not defer to the Mac's stated preferences on this. An absolute deal-breaker for me right now.

Case Studies: Supervillains with Nuance
(Standard spoiler disclaimer applies to Vicious by V.E. Schwab)
I don't tend to feel the same nostalgia for '80s and '90s cartoons as many of my peers. Oh, I watched and enjoyed several of them (Darkwing Duck was a motherfucking boss and we can't be friends if you think otherwise) but even as a kid, I remember feeling vaguely annoyed by them. It was the villains that bothered me. I remember Rita Repulsa (and if you know who that is without Googling, we can totally be friends even if you're wrong about Darkwing Duck) going on and on about how she was serving the forces of evil, and I would just roll my eyes. No one actually thinks they're evil, right? I figured that out around the time I learned cursive.
So it always excites me when something really delves into the question of evil and the villain's perspective. When Vicious came to my attention billed as a supervillain origin story, I was immediately interested, and became enthralled with the discovery that there aren't exactly heroes in this world.
Background: There are a few superpowered individuals (rather preciously called EOs for ExtraOrdinary, and yes it is always styled that way, she said through gritted teeth) and they each have one distinctive ability.
At the outset, Eli is attractive and devout and socially gifted. Victor is pale, antisocial, and wears a lot of black. Eli steals the girl Victor wants. It all seems fairly straightforwardly setting up Eli as the hero and Victor as the villain.
But but but but but. This story thrives in the but. (That might have come out wrong.) Eli becomes convinced that EOs are an abomination and that he's divinely called to wipe them out, and Victor's initial plans for revenge turn into a quest to stop his former roommate and friend.
The entire book is a meditation on Grey and Grey Morality, so the bit I want to discuss specifically is the use of powers. The two men are, as great protagonist/antagonist pairings should be, two sides of the same coin in many ways, and their powers are part of that. Both were studying pre-med at the time of their experiments, and their powers are both tied to medicine: Eli can heal, and Victor controls pain.
Those seem like pretty obvious good and evil powers, but (see?) they get explored in a way that's truly fascinating. See, Eli can only heal himself, and while Victor can certainly inflict pain, he can also take it away. To unpack it a bit further, while Victor can control the pain of an injury, he has to live with the scars, the physical restoration process and the reminder of what happened. Eli, on the other hand, is burdened with no such permanent tokens of his actions, his age, his past. He experiences the injury, but it does not mark him.
Such a setup would make an interesting enough premise on its own. The thing that elevates the story for me is how deeply this duality is woven into the character arcs. Victor's understanding of pain grants him an empathy he lacked as a student, whereas Eli's invincibility and immortality completely robs him of any empathy he once had. Victor may disdain Eli's religious fervor, but it's Victor who ends up sacrificing himself. Eli's only ally is a girl he would kill if she weren't able to prevent him from even wanting to, while antisocial Victor is the one who ends up with his little pack of strays, a quasi-family that remains loyal to him even after his death.
I think it's important for us as writers to keep these sorts of moral explorations in mind, even in stories where they aren't supposed to be the entire point. Every virtue can corrupt and be corrupted. Every vice can be used to redeem. Nuance helps create believable, compelling characters and situations. Even a kid can tell you that.

BA profits plummet by 88%
British Airways has posted an 88% drop in its first quarter profit after being hit by soaring oil prices. It has also attributed the fall to the slowdown in the economy and low consumer confidence.
The airline has posted a pre-tax profit of £37m in the three months to the end of June. This is compared to the £298m it posted the previous corresponding period and signalled a 88% drop in profit.
BA says it is expecting its fuel bill to reach £3bn in the year to March 2009 and has already announced that it would cut flights by 3% during the winter in order to reduce its overheads.
BA chief executive Willie Walsh says: "This is the worst trading environment the industry has ever faced, and fares are likely to go up as we reduce some winter capacity and cope with unprecedented oil prices, but we won't be grounding any aircraft."
Earlier this week, the carrier revealed that it was in merger talks with Spanish airline Iberia.

As one looks eastwards towards Mkhuze, there are two prominent feature which
can be seen rising out of the Ubombo mountain range. On the left is Gaza, and to
the right Tshaneni, also known as Ghost mountain. Through the years numerous
strange lights and flickering fires have been seen among the cliffs and
mountainous terrain near the summit, as well as various strange noises and calls
also being heard.
A portion of the Ndwande tribe, headed by the Gaza family used to occupy the area beneath the mountain until they were conquered by Shaka in 1819, and fled towards Mozambique under the leadership of Soshongane who founded the Shangaan tribe.
A custom dating back many hundreds of years states that chiefs should be buried on Ghost Mountain, and high on the slopes of the mountain, there is a taboo cave, used as a tomb by generations of the Gaza family. Although Soshangane and his descendants lived very far from the site, they were carried back there from Mozambique when they died. The mummified bodies were wrapped in black bull skins, and transported by night to avoid making contact with the Zulus who had previously expelled them from the area. After the Anglo-Zulu war ended in 1879, the British decided to rule Zululand, by dividing it into thirteen separate states, each governed by its own ruler, which brought on a period of chaotic rivalry, feuding and fighting.
Two of the main rivals were the son of overthrown Zulu King Cetshwayo, Prince Dinuzulu who commanded a force of Usuthu warriors, and Zibhebhu who was the head of the powerful Mandlakazi section of the Zulu nation. In a series of violent and bloody battles Zibhebhu gained the advantage over Dinuzulu. Dinuzulu, in a desperate attempt to reclaim victory enlisted a force of six hundred boer and germans, which was led by Louis Botha, who would go on to become the first Prime minister of the Union of South Africa. Dinuzulu made promises of land for these men to farm, in exchange for their help.
In June 1884 Dinuzulu's mixed army of Zulus and Europeans launched their invasion into Zibhebhu's territory. Although Zibhebhu was a determined leader, and his Mandlakazi section consisted of the finest Zulu warriors it was thought that he never stood a good chance against his enemy. Zibhebhu had also gained support of a handful of boers which included the well known frontiersman Johan Colenbrander. Under heavy fire from Dinuzulu, Zibhebhu made a fighting retreat towards the Mkhuze river pass, fleeing through the Lebombo mountains. On the fifth of June 1184, the vicious struggle known as the Battle of Tshaneni took place in the rugged gorge below Ghost Mountain.
The Mandlakazi fought persistently but heavy fire from Dinuzulu's army forced them to back down, and resulted in them fleeing in to the densely forested Tongaland region in north-eastern Zululand. As reward for their assistance, the Boers were given a large portion of northen Zululand by Dinuzulu, which included access to the sea at St Lucia. The battlefield was literally scattered with thousands of bodies, and in a book called "trekking On", by the late Colonel Reits, he claims that in the early 1920's when he made his way through the area, skeletons were still strewn about on the slopes of the Ghost Mountain.
