An interesting area for a writer… Some people just don't get your books, some people actively hate them and some love them. I write these stories for you guys and myself, because we love Lancelot and his family. For others who don't know our world, this is what other people think via email and mostly Amazon. I want to say thank you to everyone who supports indie authors and leaves reviews – it matters and without positive criticism we writers can't improve.
I was magnetically drawn into another world and the story played before me like a film reel in my head. The character of Lancelot, a man of strength and honour, engaged me from the start and had me rooting for him throughout his trials and ordeals, willing him on to succeed in his mission. The dark nature of the piece mesmerised and compelled me to read on. The complex relationships at the root of Knight and King, and magic enchanted. I want more.
I dont normally do this kind of thing but after reading your Knights of Camelot series I felt I needed to. I have just finished reading the last book Lancelot and the Grail. It was great. I downloaded the first book on the off chance last week and to my delight you have written another two – o happy day !!!!. Ive ended up having read all three in one week. Your second lancelot book i read in one night from about 8 o clock in the evening till about two in the morning. I have completely and utterley fallen in love with the world of Camelot and all the people in it. I have to say i nearly fell off my bed when i realised what was happening between Arthur and Lancelot, it freaked me out i have to admit, but i was intrigued at the same time. As the story went on I think i started understanding this bond that they have and how strong it is supposed to be and ho it has developed over years so that they can share all these relationship s simultaneously almost- friends , lovers , brothers in arms . Sorry if i am droning on. Apologies!!
I just want to say i have truly enjoyed reading The Knights of Camelot series and cannot wait for the next book. Thank you for having such an inspirational imagination and sharing it with your fans through your books.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading these two books, "LANCELOT AND THE WOLF" and "LANCELOT AND THE SWORD". I am a great Knights of the Round Table fan and although this is a completely new take on the tale – it works, as all the well known parts and charactors of the original story are included and as it is mostly legend and myth, whos to say whats true or false. The only jarring bit for me was the up-to-date swear words which jolted me out of the story each time they were used, far to modern for a story of that long ago. Otherwise i found it very hard to put the books down and now eagerly await the release of the third part of the series "LANCELOT AND THE GRAIL"
I didn't like this twisted version of Arthurian legend – not into homosexual love scenes in the books I read – it probably should have come with some sort of heads-up on that I think.
(This one made me giggle…)

3. Load your necessities in the pockets.
X Don't try to wear the GirlyGoGarter® over nylons, pantyhose or pants - it won't stay put unless it's gripping your bare skin.
X Don't put lotion on your leg before putting on the GirlyGoGarter®. Anything between the grippers and your clean, bare leg will cause the garter to slip down.
X Don't close the Velcro and then pull the GirlyGoGarter® up your leg like a stocking. It won't stay up unless you stretch the grippers around your thigh AND THEN attach the Velcro tightly.
For more information, check out the Instructional Video.
Wash & Care
Lotions or oils on your skin can reduce the "stickiness" of our patented GentleFlex™ grippers. Simply wipe grippers with a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to return them to their original grip.
GirlyGoGarters® can be hand-washed or put in the washing machine on the delicate cycle. GlitzyGoGarters® must ONLY be hand-washed - never put in the washing machine. Also, NEVER put any of our garters in the dryer, as this will ruin the patented grippers.
What's my size?
The GirlyGoGarter® is designed to fit sizes 0-24. Our sizing is based on USA standard ladies' pants sizes. So, if you wear a size 10 in slacks, you would wear a size M GirlyGoGarter®.
***If you're unsure about your size, go smaller, as our garters stretch up to 4 inches.***
The garter should fit snugly! The sizing chart goes like this:
|GirlyGoGarter® Size
|USA Ladies' Pants Size
|Small (size 3)
|0 - 8
|Medium (size 2)
|8 - 16
|Large (size 1)
|16 - 24

This invention relates to an improved archery sight and, in particular, to a sight which can be easily adjusted to compensate for different shooting distances while permitting accurate shooting of an arrow.
Numerous sighting devices have been devised for use on archery bows. Most of these known devices, however, have not proven satisfactory to a great majority of archers. One of the primary disadvantages of many known sighting devices is their difficulty of adjustment so as to compensate for different shooting distances. A further disadvantage is that the known sights often have not permitted the desired shooting accuracy. Still a further disadvantage is that most known sights employ only a single sighting element or pin mounted adjacent the bow, and the archer utilizes in conjunction therewith a sighting eyelet positioned in the bow string. However, sighting devices relying upon structures of this type introduce additional complications and inaccuracies inasmuch as each archer normally positions the drawn string in a slightly different positional relationship relative to his body, depending upon his own shooting style, and this accordingly makes such devices difficult to adjust and of undependable accuracy. Still further, the known sighting devices have not possessed sufficient adjustments in the various directions, that is both horizontally and vertically, nor have they possessed independently adjustable front and rear sights so as to permit the sighting device to be individually adjusted to best suit each archer's needs.
Several known archery sights are disclosed in the following United States patents: Smith U.S. Pat. No. 4,026,032, Brougham U.S. Pat. No. 3,871,105, Brougham U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,894, Diamond U.S. Pat. No. 3,674,002, Depatie et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,667,444, Millnamow U.S. Pat. No. 3,648,376, McNeel U.S. Pat. No. 3,058,221, Ryder U.S. Pat. No. 3,015,328, and Beloungy U.S. Pat. No. 2,559,927. These patents disclose sights possessing structural and operational features possessing one or more of the disadvantages noted above.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved archery sight which is believed to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages. More specifically, the improved archery sight of this invention permits the sight to be simply and efficiently adjusted so as to accommodate each archer's shooting position, while at the same time permitting the archer to shoot with a high degree of accuracy for any selected shooting distance.
The improved archery sight of this invention also posseses an adjustable structure which enables the sight to be easily selectively adjusted so as to accommodate different shooting distances, while at the same time permitting shooting with a high degree of accuracy. This improved sight also includes structure which permits the sight to be adjusted in transverse directions, and also permits independent adjustment between the front and rear sights.
The sighting device preferably incorporates an elongated arm which is attachable to the bow and extends substantially transversely thereof, with a front sight being mounted adjacent the front end of the arm in close proximity to the bow, and a rear sight being mounted at the other end of said arm and positioned rearwardly a substantial distance from the normal relaxed position of the string, whereby the rear sight can be disposed in close proximity to the archer's eye when the bow string is drawn back. These front and rear sights are fixedly, but adjustably, positioned relative to one another to provide the archer with very accurate alignment with the target. In a desired embodiment, the front sight is formed as a selectively rotatable member having a plurality of sighting pins projecting therefrom, with one pin being selectively positionable in the sighting location, whereby rotation of the member enables different sighting pins corresponding to different shooting distances to be quickly and accurately moved into the sighting position.
This invention also relates to an improved sighting device, as aforesaid, which can be manufactured efficiently and economically so as to be saleable at a reasonable price, which can be readily attached to substantially any conventional bow without requiring any substantial modification thereof, which is extremely durable, which possesses numerous adjustment features so as to be positionable and usable in a form deemed most desirable according to the needs of each individual archer, and which permits shooting with a high degree of accuracy provided that the device is properly utilized by the archer.
Other objects and purposes will be apparent upon reading the following specification and inspecting the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates a side elevational view of a conventional compound bow having the improved archery sighting device of this invention mounted thereon.
FIG. 2 is an elongated top view of the archery sight device as taken substantially along line II--II in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged front view of the front sight as taken along line III--III in FIG. 1.

FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary side view as taken substantially along line VI--VI in FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line VII--VII in FIG. 6.
Certain terminology will be used in the following description for convenience in reference only and will not be limiting. For example, the words "rightwardly", "leftwardly", "upwardly" and "downwardly" will refer to directions in the drawings to which reference is made. The word "front" will refer to the outer end of the bow sight, namely the leftwardmost end as appearing in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, and the word "rear" will have reference to the opposite end of the bow sight, namely that end which is positioned more closely adjacent the archer's face. Said terminology will include the words specifically mentioned, derivatives thereof and words of similar import.
The objects and purposes of this invention, including those mentioned above, have been met by providing a sighting device which includes an elongated arm formed by front and rear arm portions which are adjustably connected to permit appropriate horizontal or vertical adjustment therebetween. The front arm portion is attached to the bow, adjacent the hand grip, and projects forwardly thereof. A front sight structure is mounted adjacent the forward end of the front arm portion. The rear arm portion projects rearwardly a substantial distance beyond the normal relaxed position of the bow string and is provided with a rear sight structure at the rearward end thereof. One of these sight structures, normally the front sight structure, is adjustable and includes a plurality of different sighting pins which are representative of different shooting distances. In a desired embodiment, this adjustable sight structure includes a rotary member having a plurality of different sighting pins projecting radially therefrom in angularly spaced relationship, which pins can be selectively individually disposed in the sighting position depending upon the selected shooting distance.
FIG. 1 illustrates therein a conventional compound bow 11 having a central hand grip portion 12, an arrow rest 13, and a bow string 14, the latter being shown in its normal relaxed position. The structure and operation of the bow 11 is well known.
According to the present invention, the bow 11 is provided with an improved sighting device 16 associated therewith, which device 16 is shown in detail in FIGS. 2-4.
The sighting device 16 comprises an elongated arm structure 17 which is connected to the bow directly above the arrow rest 13 and is provided with front and rear sights 18 and 19, respectively, at opposite ends thereof. This arm structure 17 includes a front arm portion 21, an intermediate arm portion 22 and a rear arm portion 23.
The front arm portion 21 is releasably fixed to the bow directly above the arrow rest, as by one or more threaded screws 20. These screws extend through openings or arcuate slots 25 and are threadably engaged with the bow, whereby the arm portion 21 can be initially angularly adjusted as desired with respect to the bow, and then fixedly positioned by means of the screws. This mounting arrangement also permits an arrow holder to be attached to the bow in overlying relationship to a portion of the arm 21 if desired. The rear portion of the arm 21 is of a substantially channel-shaped configuration so as to effectively wrap around the bow on both the front and rear sides thereof, and this channel-shaped portion terminates in a substantially planar forward portion 26 which projects forwardly of the bow on the same side thereof as the arrow rest.
The rear leg of the channel portion 24 overlaps one leg of the L-shaped intermediate arm portion 22, the latter portions being fixedly joined together by a threaded bolt 27. This bolt extends through a horizontally elongated slot 28 formed in the arm portion 22 to permit a desired sideward or horizontal adjustment therebetween.
The rear leg of the L-shaped intermediate arm portion 22 overlaps the front of the rear arm portion 23, being fixed thereto by a threaded bolt 29 having a wing nut 31 associated therewith, whereby this bolt can be easily released to permit the rear arm portion 23 to be vertically angularly adjusted relative to the L-shaped arm portion 22, thereby permitting vertical adjustment of the rear sight 19.
The rear arm portion 23 is provided with a sideward offset 32 intermediate the ends thereof to provide additional clearance for movement of the string 14 during shooting. This rear arm portion 23 is of substantial length such that it projects rearwardly of the bow a substantial distance, whereby the rear sight 19 is thus disposed a substantial distance rearwardly from the string 14 when the latter is in its normal relaxed position. Accordingly, when the string is drawn backwardly during utilization of the bow, the rear sight 19 can be positioned in close proximity to the archer's eye to provide for proper sighting of the arrow. This rear sight 19, however, is normally spaced sidewardly from the string since most archers prefer to draw the string backwardly to a position adjacent the cheek or mouth, so that the rear sight is thus disposed sidewardly sufficiently to compensate for the sideward positioning of the string relative to the archer's eye.
The rear sight 19, as illustrated in FIG. 4, is formed by a platelike flange 33 which is integral with the rear arm portion 23 and is bent sidewardly from the rear free end thereof in substantially perpendicular relationship. The upper edge of this flange 33 has an upwardly opening sighting slot 34 formed therein. The flange 33 also has a sight plate 36 attached thereto, as by a screw 37, which plate has a sighting hole 38 formed therethrough. By loosening the screw 37, plate 36 can be swung upwardly into an upper position wherein the hole 38 is aligned with the lower end of the slot 34, as indicated by dotted lines, whereby the screw 37 is then retightened so that the archer can utilize a sighting hole rather than a slot, if desired.
Considering now the front sight 18, same includes a plurality of substantially identical sight pins 41 each secured to a slide block 42, which blocks 42 are individually slidable within a vertically elongated guide housing 43, the individual blocks 42 being fixed relative to the housing by individual thumb screws 44.
The vertically elongated guide housing 43 is in turn vertically adjustably mounted on a bracket 46, being secured thereto by a thumb screw 47. The bracket 46 is in turn fixedly attached, as by means of screws, to a transverse flange which is formed integral with the forward edge of the plate portion 26. The plurality of sight pins 41 are vertically spaced apart and project sidewardly of the bow, substantially as illustrated in FIG. 2, directly above the arrow rest, so as to represent various shooting distances.
The adjustable front sight 18 as described above, wherein there is provided a vertically elongated slidelike housing having a plurality of individually adjustable vertically spaced pins, is conventional, such a structure being illustrated in the aforementioned Smith U.S. Pat. No. 4,026,032.
As is belived apparent from the above description, the archery sighting device 16 can be easily adjusted to permit it to comfortably fit each archer, and specifically each archer's own shooting position. The rear arm portion 23 can be horizontally sidewardly displaced by appropriate loosening of the bolt 27. The rear sight 19 can also be vertically adjusted by loosening the wing nut 31. By loosening the screw 37, the sight plate 36 can be swung upwardly or downwardly to there provide the rear sight with either a sighting notch or a sighting hole. The front sight 18 is also independently adjustable relative to the rear sight, since the complete front sight can be vertically adjusted by moving the housing 43 vertically relative to the bracket 46, and the individual pins 41 can themselves be individually vertically adjusted. When so adjusted, the bow can then be utilized to permit accurate sighting of an arrow at selected targets disposed at different distances. The operation of the bow, including the positioning of the arrow and the shooting thereof, is well understood by those familiar with archery equipment.
Referring now to FIGS. 5-7, there is illustrated a modified sighting device 16' according to the present invention. The parts of the device 16' have been designated by the same reference numerals utilized to designate corresponding parts of the device 16, but with the addition of a prime (') thereto.
The sighting device 16' utilizes the same basic elongated arm structure 17' except that the rear arm portion 23' is provided not only with the front offset 32', but is also provided with a further rear offset 51 which is identical to but reversely oriented from the offset 32'. The remainder of the sighting device 16', except for the front sight 18', is otherwise identical to the above-described device 16.
The front sight 18' again includes a plurality of sight pins 41'which are fixed to and project radially outwardly from a rotatable support 52. The sight pins 41' are equally angularly spaced around the rotatable support 52, and project radially outwardly through different distances so as to permit the sight device to be set corresponding to different shooting distances. The support 52 is rotatably mounted on the outer end of an elongated rod 53, a screw in the illustrated embodiment, which rod is secured to the front end of the plate portion 26' and projects horizontally sidewardly therefrom. A compressed coil spring 54 surrounds the rod 53 and is compressed between the plate portion 26' and the support member 52 to thereby exert sufficient frictional force against the side of the support 52 so as to stationarily hold same in a selected position. If desired, a conventional detent device can be provided for coacting with the five different positions on the support 52 to releasably hold it so that the selected alignment pin 41' projects vertically upwardly.
In use, the support 52 is manually rotated until the desired alignment pin 41' projects vertically upwardly, whereupon the upper end of this selected alignment pin is used in conjunction with the rear sight 19' for sighting the arrow on the target. The shortest pin 41' is obviously used for a short shooting distance, with the progressively longer pins 41' being used as the shooting distance increases, thereby compensating for the increased vertical drop of the arrow during its flight. This front sight 18' is particularly desirable since only a single alignment pin projects vertically upwardly, and hence the archer does not become confused, such as may occur when utilizing a front sight of the type illustrated in FIG. 3. At the same time, the archer can readily rotate the support 52 to select the proper alignment pin depending upon the shooting range, which adjustment can be made very rapidly and efficiently.
Other than the adjustment of the front sight 18', as explained above, the sighting device 16' is in other respects adjusted and operated in the same manner as the sighting device 16 described above.
In both of the above-described embodiments, the horizontally elongated arm 17 or 17' has the sections thereof formed from substantially thin platelike material since this enables the arm to be of minimum weight while still having substantial strength and rigidity. Further, this also results in minimum thickness when the archer sights along the arm, and hence creates no significant visual distraction or interference with the archer's unobstructed vision along the sight toward the target.
Although a particular preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in detail for illustrative purposes, it will be recognized that variations or modifications of the disclosed apparatus, including the rearrangement of parts, lie within the scope of the present invention.

TUSCALOOSA | As the economy has worsened, the Tuscaloosa Police Department's burglary unit has gotten busier.
Statistics from TPD show that the number of burglaries in the first four months of this year has jumped 44 percent, compared with the same period in 2007. Between January and April, there were 421 burglaries in Tuscaloosa. In the same time last year, there were 292.
The reasons for the rise in burglaries vary, but David Forde, a professor of criminal justice and director of the graduate program at the University of Alabama, said the rise locally is consistent with national crime statistics.
While he cautioned against extrapolating theories about crime levels without comparing a longer period of time, he said figures from the last two years do indicate a substantial increase.
One contributing factor to property crime levels is the economic downturn, and not just because
burglars have more need to make a quick dollar.
'As the economy changes, the people in these houses are changing their patterns and routine activities,' Forde said.
To conserve gas, people may consolidate errands and be gone from home for longer periods during the day. They may be working longer hours to pay bills.
'Times are harder for both the victim and the offender,' Forde said. 'These guys aren't stupid. They are looking to see who is at home and who is away for longer time periods � they're going to pick that house.'
Consumer buying habits have also created a better market for burglars looking to unload stolen items fast, Forde said.
'One thing that's changed is that for the past two or three years people have been buying fairly high-priced items, like televisions,' he said. 'They're able to sell these things fairly quickly and they're smaller to pick up and get out of a house with � iPods, for example. You can sell those on the street and get 50 bucks.'
Recovering property
In response, cities have passed more laws making it tougher for burglars to profit from stealing. Tuscaloosa and Northport require local pawn shops to send police departments a list of all merchandise purchased at the end of every business day. Tuscaloosa last year updated the city ordinance to require pawn shop employees to photograph people with the goods they pawn. While Northport doesn't require a photograph, the city does require detailed records of purchases and requires sellers to show photo identification.
Jerry Pinion, owner of Southern Jewelry and Pawn on McFarland Boulevard in Northport, said that as gas and food prices rise, so do the number of people trying to pawn their belongings � and that includes crooks. It's difficult to tell the legitimate from the illegal, he said, much to their loss, since a pawn shop can't turn a profit on merchandise it can't sell.
'There's really no way we can tell,' he said. 'We come out the loser if it's stolen merchandise.'
The tactic has been effective. Last week, Tuscaloosa investigators recovered $2,000 in stolen electronics and made an arrest after comparing pawn shop purchase records with police reports. In May, TPD recovered more than $8,000 in stolen goods from pawn shops. Tuscaloosa is also part of a network that shares information with several other cities on pawn shop sales.
Although the pawn shop database is a useful tool to catch burglars, burglary is still one of the most difficult crimes to solve. Last year, arrests were made in 8 percent of burglary cases in the city. This year, arrests have been made in 8.5 percent. While Tuscaloosa's clearance rate has been as high as 15 percent in recent years, statistics from the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center indicate that nationally, only about 11 percent of burglaries that were reported cleared in 2006.
Both nationally and locally, burglaries follow similar patterns. Most are forcible entries that occur during the day, when most people are out of the house. Money is the most common item stolen, followed by jewelry, clothing, vehicles, office equipment, electronics and firearms, in that order.
Most of the burglaries reported in Tuscaloosa occur on Fridays, with Tuesdays a close second, followed by Wednesdays, Mondays, Thursdays, Sundays and Saturdays, in that order. The time of day for most burglaries varied, with the most common times around 4 p.m., followed by mid- morning, then early afternoon.
Repeat offenders
Tuscaloosa Police Chief Ken Swindle attributes the rise in crime partly to repeat offenders who he says are released from prison without serving their full sentences and are likely to commit more crimes.
In 2007, the Tuscaloosa Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division referred 1,305 felony cases to the Tuscaloosa County District Attorney's Office. Of those, 207 offenders were sent to the state prison system, Swindle said. But more than twice that number were released from prison. During 2007, 441 people sentenced in Tuscaloosa were released from prison. Of those, 106 were paroled.
Of the 19 burglary suspects Tuscaloosa Police arrested between Jan. 1 and April 30, 18 had been arrested for burglary before.
As an example, Swindle points to Lamar Mims, who was arrested earlier this year in connection with a rash of burglaries in the Woodland Forrest neighborhood. Mims, 38, was charged with 18 of the burglaries reported in that area and in some neighborhoods north of the Black Warrior River � areas that don't typically have a high rate of crime. Swindle said investigators believe Mims is responsible for many of the burglaries reported then, but they still hope to make more arrests.
Mims pleaded guilty in February 2006 to three counts of second-degree attempted burglary, two counts of second- degree theft and one count each of second- and third-degree burglary. He was sentenced to two years in the community corrections program, making him eligible for release in February.
'He served only four months, and should have been behind bars when these burglaries occurred,' Swindle said.

Just a collection of the idiocy going on in the world.

During the Fems march against Trump called everything but that, older building started to shift off their foundations and pavement cracked.
Even more than that even with the loud hailers and the chanting of mindless alimentary noises, the rubbing and abrading of huge thighs (see photo) drowned out just about all cries for anything from beer to thigh blister ointment.
In spite of claims of a non political position, most of the screeching centered around Trump being elected, daring to sit in the Oval Office and that he abused the lovely press.
Even the stragglers had to display their avoirdupois in a manner that caused most people to suffer a severe gastric disorder.

On the first full day of Donald Trump's administration, millions of women gathered in cities around the world to deliver the message, powerfully and unequivocally, that we dodged a real bullet by not electing a vagina-owner as President.
Oh sure, that wasn't the message they meant to send – but what the hell else is anyone (male or female) with more than a spoonful of brains supposed to think? The angry protesters donned "pussy hats" and vagina costumes to prove they're not just sex objects and should be taken seriously. Which, frankly, we find hard to do when a glowering woman has turned her face into a clitoris.
Purportedly, the massive marches were about women finally and firmly demanding their rights, including non-discrimination, protection from sexual assault, equal pay for equal work, access to abortion on demand, the right to vote, the right to go to school, the right to sit in the front of the bus, and the right to be served at Woolworth's lunch counters.
Of course, all of these things are already mandated by law, but attempts to inform the protesters of this were decried as blatantly sexist "man-splaining." And the real point isn't that women lack rights, but they feel like they lack rights…and feelings always outweigh facts among those high on estrogen.
Celebrity speakers were in abundance at the Washington march, with alleged-actress Ashley Judd proclaiming herself to be a "nasty girl" and babbling about Donald Trump's wet dreams (honest), and Madonna following up on her previous promise to blow any man who voted for Hillary with a new admission that she wants to blow up the White House. A sentiment which drew a standing ovulation from the enthusiastic crowd.
Disclaimer time: Hope n' Change supports equal rights for women without reservation. No woman should suffer from discrimination or actual sexual harassment. If a man "grabs her by the pussy" he should face criminal charges. If he talks about grabbing women by the pussy, even "just among the boys," he should be considered an asshole and pariah.
These are serious matters which, unfortunately, have now been trivialized by activists who failed to elect their chosen candidate and are now having a huge public hissy fit simply because they can in a country which already affords them the freedom and rights to do so.
To those women who filled the streets, Hope n' Change acknowledges that you have been heard.
But maybe next time, consider having something to say.

SCOTUS deferred this until the new term by a 5-3 vote. Which means this gender confused person will have to wait until next year to find out whether standing or sitting is the method of relief.
Supreme Court: School Can Keep Biological Female Out of Male Restrooms—For Now
The U.S. Supreme Court has determined that the Gloucester County, Va., school board may prevent a biological female from using the boys' restroom—at least for now.
The court was responding to a request from the Gloucester County School Board to stay an order issued on June 23 by U.S. District Judge Robert Doumar. That order said the board must allow G.G.—a 17-year-old biological female who says she identifies as a male—to use male restrooms (but not male locker rooms) while the court reviewed G.G.'s case on the merits.
Judge Doumar had previously dismissed G.G.'s claim that the Gloucester County School Board had discriminated against her under the terms of Title IX of federal education law, which says schools that receive federal funding may not discriminate on the basis of "sex."
However, in April, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit decided that the district court should hear G.G.'s case again, reconsider allowing her to use male bathrooms at school while doing so, and give deference in the case to the Department of Education's current interpretation of what the word "sex" means in Title IX.
The appeals court said:
"At the heart of this appeal is whether Title IX requires schools to provide transgender students access to restrooms congruent with their gender identity. Title IX provides: '[n]o person . . . shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.' 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a). The Department of Education's (the Department) regulations implementing Title IX permit the provision of 'separate toilet, locker room, and shower facilities on the basis of sex, but such facilities provided for students of one sex shall be comparable to such facilities for students of the other sex.' 34 C.F.R. § 106.33. In an opinion letter dated January 7, 2015, the Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) interpreted how this regulation should apply to transgender individuals: 'When a school elects to separate or treat students differently on the basis of sex . . . a school generally must treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity.'"

TAIPEI, July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (TAIEX: 2412, NYSE: CHT) ("Chunghwa" or "the Company") today reported its un-audited operating results for the second quarter of 2014. All figures were prepared in accordance with Taiwan-International Financial Reporting Standards ("T-IFRSs") on a consolidated basis.
(Comparisons throughout the press release, unless otherwise stated, are made with regard to the prior year period)
Second Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights
- Total revenue decreased by 0.1% to NT$55.78 billion
- Mobile communications revenue increased by 3.4% to NT$27.78 billion
- Mobile value-added services (VAS) revenue increased by 23.7% to NT$8.44 billion, with mobile internet revenue, the largest contributor to VAS revenue, increasing by 32.5%
- Handset sales revenue increased by 10.4% to NT$8.35 billion
- Internet revenue increased by 1.7% to NT$6.29 billion
- Domestic fixed communications revenue decreased by 5.2% to NT$17.23 billion
- International fixed communications revenue decreased by 2.4% to NT$3.93 billion
- Total operating costs and expenses increased by 0.6% to NT$43.45 billion
- Net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 0.3% to NT$10.60 billion
- Basic earnings per share (EPS) was NT$1.37
Dr. Rick L. Tsai, Chairman and CEO of Chunghwa Telecom stated, "Since joining Chunghwa six months ago, we have been working tirelessly, reviewing the company's operational strategies and promoting business development, with an emphasis on 4G, fiber broadband, MOD, and the enterprise business."
"Our second quarter was very exciting, being the first 4G operator in Taiwan with our launch at the end of May, we accelerated our 4G deployment and capital expenditure investment timeline so that we could offer our customers enhanced and faster user experience, and to gain an advantage over our competitors," Dr. Tsai continued. "We are still confident that by the end of this year, we will reach our target goal of acquiring at least 40% of the 4G market, and reach more than 90% population coverage by the end of 2015, further moving towards our goal of providing Taiwan's leading full-service, digital convergence services."
"Additionally, this quarter we carefully reviewed our capital expenditures and resource allocations. We believe that capital expenditures will be lower than what we previously budgeted due to greater operational efficiencies realized from reviewing capital utilization carefully as well as improved resource integration among business lines. By improving our efficiencies through strengthened resource allocation, we will continue to better position Chunghwa Telecom for strong long-term growth."
Chunghwa Telecom's total revenues for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 0.1% to NT$55.78 billion, which was comprised of 49.8% mobile, 11.3% internet, 30.9% domestic fixed, 7.0% international fixed, and 1.0 % from other businesses.
Mobile communications revenue for the second quarter 2014 increased by 3.4% to NT$27.78 billion. This was mainly due to the continual growth of mobile VAS revenue and handset sales, which offset the decrease in mobile voice revenue mainly due to market competition and promotional packages.
Internet business revenue for the second quarter of 2014 increased by 1.7% year-over-year to NT$6.29 billion. The increase was primarily attributable to higher internet value-added service.
Domestic fixed revenue for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 5.2% year-over-year to NT$17.23 billion. This was mainly due to the decrease in local and DLD service revenue, which decreased by 6.1% and 5.7% respectively because of increased mobile and VoIP substitution. Broadband access revenue increased 0.4% year-over year at NT$4.70 billion.
International fixed revenue decreased by 2.4% to NT$3.93 billion, mainly due to lower international long distance revenue because of market competition.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Total operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2014 increased 0.6% to NT$43.45 billion. The increase was mainly due to the increasing depreciation and amortization expenses and personnel expenses.
Income Tax
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 2.8% to NT$2.10 billion.
Operating Income and Net Income
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 2.6% to NT$12.32 billion. The operating margin was 22.1%, compared to 22.7% in the same period of 2013. Net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 0.3% to NT$10.60 billion. Basic earnings per share was NT$1.37.
Cash Flow and EBITDA
Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 25.6% to NT$14.42 billion. The decrease was mainly due to the higher operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2013 resulting from the delay of bill collection from the first quarter to the second quarter associated with the holiday season. EBITDA increased by 1.3% to NT$20.85 billion. The EBITDA margin was 37.4% compared to 36.9% in the same period of 2013.
Capital Expenditure ("Capex")
Total Capex for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 9.1% to NT$7.3 billion, and was comprised of 51.5% domestic fixed communications, 31.4% mobile communications, 8.9% internet, 2.7% international fixed communications, and the remainder from others.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements constitute "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Chunghwa's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from those statements as a result of a number of factors including, but not limited to the risks outlined in Chunghwa's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms F-1, F-3, 6-K and 20-F, in each case as amended. The forward-looking statements in this press release reflect the current belief of Chunghwa as of the date of this press release and Chunghwa undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that occur subsequent to such date, except as required under applicable law.
This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. Any public offering of securities to be made in the United States will be made by means of a prospectus that may be obtained from the issuer or selling security holder and that will contain detailed information about the company and management, as well as financial statements.
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Supervisory Commission, or T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provides EBITDA, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure". EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) total net comprehensive financing cost (which is comprised of net interest expense, exchange gain or loss, monetary position gain or loss and other financing costs and derivative transactions), (iii) other income, net, (iv) income tax, (v) (income) loss from discontinued operations.
In managing the Company's business, Chunghwa Telecom relies on EBITDA as a means of assessing its operating performance because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation and amortization, which represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) certain financing costs, which are significantly affected by external factors, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and inflation rates, which have little or no bearing on our operating performance, (iii) income tax (iv) other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business.
In addition to the consolidated financial results prepared under T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provide non-GAAP financial measures, including "EBITDA". The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations.
Chunghwa Telecom's management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, the Company recognizes that:
- these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures;
- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures;
- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; and
- these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with T-IFRSs and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principle.
Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to Chunghwa Telecom, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results as a substitute for results under T-IFRSs, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.

Orchard Road
Last night I went to have dinner in SM Megamall. I was intending to eat somewhere else, but when I passed by the new Orchard Road restaurant (2F, Megamall Bridgeway), I decided to give it a try.
The restaurant is named for Singapore's shopping hub.
Orchard Road uses a concept similar to Singapore's famous hawker centers. Hawker centers are similar to the typical food courts in malls, with several food stalls selling different fare (Chinese, Indian, Malay, etc.), except they're typically open-air structures that stand on their own, as opposed to food courts that are typically enclosed within a mall's interior. However, instead of having multiple independently-operated stalls, Orchard Road offers the same diverse cuisine that one would usually find at a hawker center, but all made by the same kitchen.
Like hawker centers, Orchard Road's kitchen is glass enclosed and as such, one can see everything that's going on with regard to the food preparation. The kitchen is in the center of the restaurant's space, and since the counter is also there, guests are invited to actually view the preparation (the order slip echoes this invitation; guests are told to visit the open kitchen before choosing their order).
After paying for my order (Malaysian chicken curry with noodles), I then went to my seat.
The aroma of the food cooking immediately reminded me of Singapore. That exotic scent of intermingled cuisine I associate with that country brought back memories of the time I spent with my family there. Good times.
The ambiance was also quite good—despite the use of dark wooden dividers (which were given a lighter image by light colored glass), the restaurant was actually well-lit and had a great view of the rush hour commuter swarm around the Julia Vargas exit to EDSA—a view that I've rarely ever witnessed from Megamall's bridgeway. Great for people-watching.
The curry came rather quickly, and I was very pleased with it. It was quite yellow, which my brother says is rather uncharacteristic of that type of curry–it's usually orange. (As opposed to Japanese curry, which is typically dark brown and salty rather than spicy, and Filipino curry, which is pale yellow and watery.) Still, it was very flavorful and induced a sweat rather quickly. Even after I finished off the noodles and chicken, I drank up every last drop of the soup.
The cuts of chicken were good–they were large breast cuts, instead of the annoying leg cuts in Pinoy curry (I don't care much for chicken leg due to the blood content and the difficulty of separating meat from bone). They weren't dry (as breast cuts usually are), and the curry sauce gave the chicken a really good kick. I wish there had been more noodles, but the dish was quite filling.
It's a bit on the pricey side—Php 175 for a bowl—but it left me quite satisfied. I hadn't eaten good curry in a while, and it was one thing I really was craving for.
In the future I'd like to give other dishes a try, but overall I enjoyed it–and from the number of guests last night, I think many others did too.

The Lovereading4Kids comment
This is an absolutely marvellous soaring adventure that gives you a glimpse, and a memorable one at that, of another world. The story is completely original, like nothing you will have read before and utterly compulsive. The words are rich and evocative of time and place without a word out of place.
The Kite Rider by Geraldine McCaughrean
Haoyou knows that his father's spirit lives among the clouds above Ancient China. He also knows that to save his mother from being forced into a new marriage he must now follow in his father's footsteps and take to the skies, riding a kite through the clouds and the spirits of the dead. Then the Jade Circus offers him a chance to escape his enemies and travel throughout the empire, and maybe even perform before Kublai Khan himself. But is going with the circus really the best option? It could be that the circus master is leading him into even greater danger. This outstanding story is like nothing else you've ever read - packed with action, adventure and emotion.

Giggling Squid was born in 2009 from a determination to do things differently. To be one of a kind. We now have a few more restaurants under our belt (21 to date!) and have been named in The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 (2015 & 2016) for good reason but the important stuff hasn't changed. We're still as hungry as ever to give our guests a truly unique experience based around staggeringly good food cooked by master Thai chefs.
As a family run restaurant group, getting the right people couldn't be more important to us. We're looking for big smiles, small egos and people who want to go above and beyond the norm. We're interested in extraordinary, not ordinary. In return, we take care of our people. We're very committed to training, development and giving our teams the skill-set they need to give our guests the unique Giggling Squid experience.
