Disclaimer: Not mine. No money. At all. I'm sad.
(Thursday 4:37 pm)
Virginia actually enjoyed mirror travel. The speed of it, the recklessness, thrilled her the same way a rollercoaster did. She'd always been an e-ticket sort of gal.
But she couldn't enjoy the prospect right now.
"He's fine, you know," her dad said, sitting under the tree that housed the mirror.
"Yeah," she said, not looking away from the path. It was getting dark. "I know."
"It's not like he doesn't know how to handle a city. In fact, he does better in towns than in the country. Remember?"
"Yeah," she said again, watching the trees. "But you didn't see him this afternoon, dad. He was so…" she broke off, not sure just how he'd been other than he worried her. She bit at a nail and rubbed a hand over her ever expanding waist. What if her child was just as…unpredictable? Unruly? Dangerous, even?
"So wolfish?" her father finished for her. He shrugged, "What did you expect, sweetheart? He's not human."
She glared at him. "He's human." She thought so, at least. Oh God.
"Not really. Honey, I've been in the kingdoms for a while now. When they talk about the Wolves, they don't talk about them like they're people. They talk about them changing at the full moon, and hunting, and killing flocks and, and farmers. They are dangerous and unpredictable creatures, and you'd be better off without him around."
"I love him, dad," Virginia said. She swallowed, fighting the burning in her eyes and throat.
"I know," her dad said, looking at her with sympathy. "I know you do, honey. And I never want to hurt you, but the truth is that we don't really know anything about who, or what, he really is."
"You're not helping, dad," she said flatly. She sighed, looking away.
"I know. I'm sorry. But just loving someone doesn't make them good for you. I learned that lesson with your mother. And I worry about you. Especially when you're with him. He's just not safe."
"He's sweet. He's tender, and protective, and caring, and he's more… attentive to me than any person I've ever known."
"I think you mean obsessive about you."
"He loves me! And he's loyal, and he understands me!"
"Then where is he?" her father asked quietly.
She gulped in a breath. "He… he's just having a … mood. He'll be here."
"Having a mood," her dad shook his head. "Do you know you sound like a cult member? I'm pretty sure the people who followed Jim Jones thought he was attentive too. You know he just had these moods sometimes. Try the Kool-aid."
"That's not fair, dad."
"You're my daughter. I don't have to be fair if I think you're in trouble."
"I'm not in trouble, dad," she said tiredly. She slid down to sit beside him. "I'm just a little worried."
He reached over and rubbed her back. "I love you, and we'll make sure everything is all right eventually, but I won't lie to you and say there's no reason to be worried."
"Why are we worried?"
They both jumped a bit, flinching as Wolf slid silently from the trees. Virginia looked him over carefully, but he seemed much better, his eyes clear and his hands still. But there was an air of sadness around him that made her own heart hurt. For the first time she wondered if going back to the kingdoms was the right decision.
"Where have you been?" Tony demanded, standing.
"Walking," he answered, never taking his eyes from her. Wolf walked up to her and held out his hand, offering to help her to her feet.
She took it, letting him pull her up. "Are you okay?" she murmured as he pulled her close.
"I am now," he responded, holding her. "I'm okay whenever you're near. I just had to remember that."
She pulled back a bit. "So you're okay with going to the festival?"
He nodded, "If it's what you want, then I'm fine." He let her go, giving them both a goofy grin. "Besides, the look on all those prissy royal pusses when they have to be polite to a wolfie will be just too much fun to miss."
"Great! Then can we go before the cops show up and I get sent to jail for the rest of my life?" Tony grumped, turning to the tree and working on activating the mirror.
As the air around the tree shimmered, Virginia tugged at Wolf's hand. "I know you're not okay. That grin doesn't hide as much as you think it does."
He looked at her for a long moment, the grin fading slowly. Then he simply leaned over and kissed the top of her head and followed Tony through the mirror without speaking.
Virginia wiped away the tear that had gotten loose, cursing. She hated crying. Somehow she was sure that she had made a mistake somewhere along the way – but for the life of her she couldn't figure out just where.
Taking a deep breath, she lifted her head and squared her shoulders. This was what she'd wanted. It was time to pay up.
"Into the woods," she muttered, and stepped into the tree.
To say that the palace was bustling would be like saying the Grand Canyon was a ditch. Virginia's eyes were wide as she and Wolf followed her father through the gleaming halls. Servants hurried about doing chores while the lower royalty supervised. "Wow. They're going all out, aren't they?"
"You have no idea," her dad said. "They've been prepping this place for weeks. Every female royal and head of state will be here for at least three days. The plans for who's sleeping in which bedroom alone have taken years."
A young maid, barely a teen, suddenly rounded the corner and scurried down the hall toward them, her arms full of linens. Not able to see over the stack, she bounced off of Tony, grabbing for the laundry before it could fall. "Sorry," she squeaked as she looked up, then gasped, bobbing and awkward curtsy at Tony. "Lord Anthony! Excuse me, please! I know that we lower maids aren't to be in the main halls, but these beddings was needed by the Housekeeper and she sent me to fetch them right quick, and I was to hurry, and I didn't think anyone of account would be in this wing at the mo… I'm so sorry! Please don't tell Housekeeper!" The girl was nearly in tears as she bobbed another curtsy, averting her eyes from her 'betters'.
"It's okay. You know I don't mind. It's a stupid rule anyway. You girls are just doing your jobs," her dad said, smiling slightly. "Go on now. Don't keep Housey waiting. You know how she gets."
"Yes, sir!" she bobbed again, deeply, and almost dropping her stack. "Thank you, sir!" She edged around the group, back to the other wall, and Virginia felt a strange mixture of pity and a slight irritation at her obvious submissiveness. The girl darted little looks at them as she passed, especially Virginia. The girl stared at her as if she were some sort of strange and exotic bird and she was storing up the details to tell to her grandchildren. Virginia cocked an eyebrow back at the girl, slightly amused at the understated awe in her eyes. She blushed and shifted her gaze.
The girl's eyes fell on Wolf, who had been standing, still and silent, behind Virginia – and Virginia watched as the girl stiffened, her eyes widening not with awe, but with fear and disgust. "Wolf," she hissed, her once pretty little features twisted into an ugly sneer. She stepped as far away as the hall would allow as she edged passed him. "He shouldn't be here, Lord Anthony, he really shouldn't. He's dangerous, and evil, and he'll spread his filth in the halls of White, and neither his Majesty nor Housekeeper will be pleased."
And the strangest part was that, though her face never lost its look of scorn, her voice was almost kind and Virginia realized that she was trying to help out 'Lord Anthony', to keep him from trouble the same way he had been willing to overlook her blunder. The fact that Wolf was a thinking, feeling person who could hear words her never crossed her mind.
Behind her, Virginia felt Wolf stiffen, then relax in a way that made her very nervous. She could feel his breath, hot against her neck as her stepped closer, crowding the girl without actually approaching her.
"I have always liked the way that housemaids flitter about," he said in Virginia's ear, just loud enough to be overheard. "So nimble and…sweet."
The girl let out an "Eep!" and jumped, clutching her stack of laundry and turning to scurry away as fast as she could.
"Wolf," Virginia said, shoving an elbow into his sternum. "That wasn't helpful."
He chuffed, rubbing at his chest. "She deserved it. Besides, it's not like I really did anything."
"Still, you upset her. She was just a strange little thing. She had obvious issues."
"No," Tony said. "She was pretty normal. There are some things about this place I don't like. They are very particular, here. You're born into a station, and that's where you stay until you die. If your mother was a maid, you'll be a maid, and your daughters will be maids. There is no moving up. And if you're a maid, you need to be invisible to the 'betters', up to and including turning your face against the wall if they happen to be walking past, so that they don't have to acknowledge your existence. It makes me very …uncomfortable sometimes. That girl could have been slapped by the Housekeeper for letting us see her working. Or she could have been fired, which is worse."
"Being fired is worse than getting hit?" Virginia demanded.
"Yep, in this case it is. A girl discharged from her last employment won't get a reference. Without a reference, she can't get another position in a different house. Without a job, she has no money, no roof, no food, and no legal rights because she's a girl. Without any of that, she won't get a husband, and without a husband she can't have a home, because women can't legally buy property. If she looses her job, she's screwed."
"Wait," Virginia said, "you're telling me that girl could loose everything because she walked down the wrong hallway?"
"Pretty much, yeah," Tony said. He sighed. "This place has a long way to go for people who aren't royalty."
"You have no idea, Tony," Wolf muttered, pushing past them to continue down the hall. "You really have no idea at all."
The maid had irritated him. Wolf could freely admit that as he pushed pasted Tony and took the lead. Tony may now live in the Palace, but Wolf knew he could locate the King much faster by using his nose, and the encounter with maid had him wanting to get this whole festival over with as quickly as possible. It just proved that nothing ever changed. 'Lord' Tony was a hero, Wendell was King, and Virginia had achieved above royal status by being a 'Great Woman', a woman whose story would be told for generations. She would be more powerful than Wendell in most situations. But him – the wolf who had been with them nearly every step of the journey, who had, in fact, saved all of the royals of all of the houses at the coronation – well, he was just a wolf. First, last, and in between, he was a wolf.
And everybody knew what that meant.
He growled.
"What's your problem?" Tony demanded.
He clenched his fists. "Nothing. No problem."
Tony rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
"Dad," Virginia said, "leave him alone."
They didn't speak again until Wolf walked up to an ornate door. Tony snorted. "That kid never leaves the council room anymore."
As Tony opened the door, the conversation inside stopped and Wendell stood. He smiled and held out a hand. "Virginia. Welcome. I'm so glad you could make it."
Virginia stepped forward, taking his hand and kissing his cheek. "Hey, Wendell. Thanks for inviting us." The Council members had also stood, and now bowed deeply toward her. Tony rolled his eyes.
Wolf skulked in the doorway, unnoticed and unacknowledged.
"My dearest sister, in spirit, if not in blood. I could hardly have called this gathering a festival if you had not conceded to attend. Now, it will truly be worthy of the title of 'celebration'."
She gave him an amused smile. "You are become quite the charmer, my prince."
He leaned in conspiratorially, "I'm practicing. Do you think it will win me a bride this weekend?"
"You'll be beating them off with a stick," she assured him.
"That's the general idea," he grinned, squeezed her hand, then looked behind her. "Oh, and, Anthony, when you didn't return yesterday I had the royal tailor reschedule you for this afternoon." He glanced at his watch. "You should just have time to make it."
"Uh, I would love to," Tony said, making love to sound like I would rather have my teeth pulled by a deranged fairy, "but I, uh, should really see that my daughter –"
"Oh, yes," Wendell interrupted. "Excellent idea, Anthony. I had the tailor make you up some gowns, Virginia, I hope you don't mind. You can have your fittings while your father has his." Wendell grinned at Tony, only a little slyness in his eyes. "That will take of both problems nicely. Thank you so much for suggesting it, Anthony. You may be dismissed to go and take care of that, then." He winked at Virginia.
She shook her head, smiling. "Oh, that's wonderful," she said, obviously playing along. She turned and took her father's arm. "Lead on, dad. I want to see my new dresses."
"Yeah, but I don't want to see mine," Tony whined as he lead her through the door.
And then there was a moment, after Virginia and Tony had stepped out of the room, but Wolf was still there, next to the doorway. And Wendell met his eyes.
The Council members began muttering darkly. Wolf stiffened. Wendell waved a hand at the old men at the table, stilling them.
"Wolf," he said.
"King," Wolf answered, not looking away.
"You are welcome here," Wendell said, and ignored the gasps of those gentlemen. "In my house, in my lands, be assured that you are indeed to be made welcome. Or I will know why."
Wolf twitched, a surprised little jerk of his head, before bowing his head slightly – not submissively, but as he would have to a pack-mate. "Thanks. I'll try to be good." He scratched at his brow, then, in a flash of movement, turned and followed his mate down the hall.
And if he had to hear the uproar that Wendell's proclamation had caused through the open door behind him, well that wasn't Wendell's fault.
The first two days of the festival had passed in a fantastic swirl of colors and foods and music. Virginia had been in the center of much of the doings, as the young would-be queens flocked to the newest 'Great Woman' – only to find that she was also the beloved step-sister of the delectable young King they had been brought to court to catch. Virginia was both amused and flattered by the attention – and by the voluptuous gowns that Wendell had ordered made for her, and by the fact that many of the women at court had, after the first night, cut their hair to match her style. The atmosphere that the husband hunting females created reminded her very much of a high-school dance, where the cliques ruled and the 'haves' set the cliques. Virginia had never been popular – her father had been a janitor after all – so she was reveling in the role of prom-queen…she even had a little entourage that followed her around all day. And all night, too. The festival left her no time to sleep as she was awake all night dancing and gambling, or listening to the singing and poetry; and she spent all day attending the storytellers, and puppet shows (she would always remember the moment of shock and embarrassment when she heard her own story told with great liberties and dramatic embellishments). She toured the open fairs, and joined jovial brunches and elegant teas. There was always something going on, something new to do or see or try. She was in seventh heaven.
She was so caught up in being the bell of the ball, literally, that she didn't notice the lack of fun being had by her father and step-brother. Tony was simply irritated. He was stuck in a dress, acting as the sober chaperone/bodyguard to his young King as Wendell was systematically mauled by a line of desperate females, each with a better pedigree and less personality than the one before. He also had to run interference with the councilors, who wanted to auction off Wendell's wedding night to the highest bidder.
Wendell was not enjoying the process of bride-finding anymore than Anthony. It consisted mainly of hours of insipid conversation and having his feet trod on. He couldn't believe that he had once found these creatures to be the highest of society, the best of the aristocracy, the only suitable companions for a prince of the house of White. Now he found them boring and short-sighted. They were, as a whole, weak things, with little moral fiber. They had much to say, but little enough worth hearing. He didn't fit with them anymore, these 'worthies' who had once been his friends and companions. And that was worrisome. If he didn't fit with them, then did that mean he wasn't fit? He supposed that it might be a sign that he was finally growing up. Becoming a man, his own man, instead of just a prince or a king. He wondered that being a man should be the harder of them.
In any case, he had privately narrowed his bride choices down to a handful of daughters of the lower houses and lesser nobility – which was something that his chancellors would never stand for. His marriage should be a careful balance of political influences and monetary concerns. If he should abandon all of that in favor of someone he simply found likeable… they would – in Virginia's expressive phrasing – have a hissy fit. So he did his duty and danced with all the royal daughters, and kept his thoughts to himself. For now.
As evening fell on the third day of the festival, Wolf was also keeping his thoughts to himself. He'd watched from the shadows and the doorways as his mate played with the frilly, silly girls; and he couldn't fault her for it. He knew she was only enjoying the ability to be leader of the pack for awhile. But he also knew he couldn't join in. He wouldn't be accepted by her temporary companions. No more than he was accepted by anyone in the palace. From royal to drudge, he was universally snubbed.
He slouched in thresholds, gilded-up in his finery, and watched as the royals twirled through the twin dances of music and society. He ate when the buffets were first set up as to miss the mass of the other guests. He followed Virginia from room to room, always watching, always wary, but careful to not draw attention to himself.
Maybe that was why, on the last night of the festival, he was the only one to notice the girl sneak into the ballroom. Nibbling at a leftover bone, Wolf's eyes narrowed as the young girl made her tentative way through the servants door, ducking the ladies-in-waiting and dodging the footmen. Her dress was tattered homespun, her feet were bare and bloodied. She'd obviously been traveling for some distance. Wolf could smell her desperation and fear from across the wide room, even over the perfumes and sweet-oils.
Absently, Wolf snapped the bone open, sucking the marrow from it. He was so caught up in watching the child that he didn't even notice the disdainful looks from the nobles near him. The girl was obviously terrified of the palace servants and the royal crowd, yet she pressed on, darting around the fringes of the room like a hummingbird… or an unwelcome Wolf. The question was why. Why was she here?
It was inevitable that she would be seen. She stood out in this primped and polished mob. One of the footmen approached her, and Wolf frowned as the man caught her by the neck of her dress, and yanked. His eyes narrowed as the man lifted the child by the scruff, like a naughty puppy, and began frog-marching the girl toward the door. The girl's feet barley touched the floor, and she was obviously sobbing as the bigger, stronger man dragged her toward the servant's door. The route he chose was discreet, jerking her back along the ignored edges of the crowd, being as subtle as possible. The few nobles who noticed the little scuffle turned away from the sobbing child with a slight look of distaste on their elegant faces, as if the had spotted a servant taking out the trash.
Wolf was already moving as the footman yanked again at the girl. He growled as he saw her tattered dress rip in the man's grip. Wolf watched as she fell, still too far away to help her. She had been caught off-balance because of the way the man had been yanking at her, and she could not catch herself.
– and he saw the man's foot pull back as the footman aimed a kick at the fallen child.
Wolf leaped; his vision blurred and tunneled, his attention focused completely on the bastard. Wolf slammed into the servant, grabbing the man's lapels as he shoved his body back, into the wall. Around him he heard the shouts and cries of royals, who darted out of the way, but he didn't care. The man was going to hurt a child whose only crime had been to come to a party uninvited. He didn't care about offending noble sensibilities. He knew his eyes were glowing. Didn't care. He grinned, a bearing of teeth that couldn't be mistaken for pleasantness.
"Don't you touch that cub," he snarled, his tone quiet and more dangerous because of it.
The footman shrank from him, as far as his coat and the wall would allow. Behind him he heard some female mutter "beast!" and from someone else: "Stop that creature!"
The footman's eyes were darting, the man was squirming in Wolf's hands – which was a bad idea, as it brought all his hunter's instincts to the surface. He could smell the man's sweat, could taste the fear and the leftover whiffs of pleasure the man had gotten from threatening the girl.
His mouth flooded with saliva. His jaw felt thicker, stronger. He wanted – needed – to bite so badly.
His head jerked, snapping at the air in front of the man's face; he barely restrained himself from rending flesh.
Then there was a hand on his shoulder, tugging insistently. "Wolf! No! Stop it!"
He rounded on his beloved, still holding the footman against the wall, and her eyes widened in surprise at the red of his. "He was going to hurt this child."
She glanced down at the still sobbing girl, and then turned her angry gaze on the servant pinned to the wall. "You were going to do what?"
"Never!" the man gasped, trying and failing to free himself. "Madam, I would never hurt the girl...I was merely trying to get her out of the room! It's obvious she has no place here."
Wolf growled.
"Would someone like to tell me what is going on?"
The crowd of gawking nobles parted, allowing King Wendell and Lord Anthony through. Wendell looked merely curious ... but Tony looked pissed.
"Wolf said this jerk was going to hurt the little girl," Virginia said, kneeling down to help the sobbing child to her feet.
"Surely you aren't listing to the Wolf?" demanded an anonymous voice from the crowd.
"Surely you aren't trying to tell the King what to do?" Virginia snapped back.
The surrounding nobles dropped their heads submissively, but the general muttering continued.
"Thank you, Virginia," Wendell said, and reached a hand down to help both his step-sister and the girl stand. "Now, Wolf, if you don't mind...?"
With a final growl, Wolf reluctantly loosed his hold on the footman, allowing the man to drop to his feet.
Wendell nodded, satisfied. "Now. Let's have the full story, if you don't mind."
The girl stood shaking in Virginia's arms, as the Footman again stumbled through his tale of seeing a peasant who had no place in the palace, and that he was only removing the girl before she could cause trouble. "I was only doing my job, your Majesty. Honestly."
Wolf, who had positioned himself between Virginia and the girl and the footman, snorted.
Wendell motioned him to stillness, and turned to the girl. "And you, young miss. What have you to say about the matter?"
A tear slipped down the trembling girl's pale cheek. "M-matter? Sir?"
Wendell smiled softly. "How did you come to be here, little miss?"
She scrubbed at her cheek, sniffling. "I was asked to come."
An incredulous titter ran through the watching crowd. The girl cringed, Virginia glared, Wolf bristled. Wendell ignored them. "Asked by whom, pray tell?"
"This is preposterous!" a new, shrill voice piped in; and the crowd surged, tossing out a middle-aged woman wearing a ridiculous costume of ball-gown and red veils. "Really, Wendell, I can not believe you would lower yourself to talk to this filthy creature! I'm already bored. Tell the footman to take that... thing out, and let us proceed with our evening."
"Queen Riding-hood," Wendell said calmly, "I apologize for this horrid interruption in your evening -- heaven knows, I would never do anything to come between such a beautiful creature and her chosen entertainment, but such unpleasant things do crop up in a ruler's life, as you well know." He sighed dramatically, as if it was just too, too trying. "So, as this is my thrown-room, I will just deal with this little fiasco in my own fashion, hum?"
Riding-hood tossed her head a bit, making it obvious that she was not pleased by the slight, but dipped her head and backed once again into the crowd.
Wendell turned back to his family, rolling his eyes. Wolf snorted in agreement, while Tony shook his head. "Well, there goes the option of marring her." Tony muttered.
"That was never an option." Wendell replied, equally low-voiced.
"She certainly thought it was."
"She was wrong on many levels." Wendell turned to the girl once again. "So, miss, we will hear your side of it now."
The girl took a deep, if shaky, breath, clearing her throat and straightening her shoulders. Virginia stepped back a bit, giving her some space.
"Sir, King Wendell of the House of White, I carry a message to you."
Wendell frowned. "A message from whom?"
The girl swallowed, her eyes darting to the glaring Queen Riding-hood, before speaking again. "The Gray-Lady would call a council of the rulers, my Lord. She would have you do so in your name, since others will not heed her call. She begs your forgiveness in sending me, a child, to speak for her, but she had no way of contacting you herself. She would ask, even in the event that you refuse her summons, that you would grant safety and safe passage to her em... ema.."
"Emissary?" Virginia asked.
"Emissary," the girl said, relived.
Wendell gave the girl a sad, lopsided smile. "I think safety for her emissary is a reasonable request. But I also think her emissary should be feed and cleaned and rest a bit before partaking of this passage. Beckley," Wendell called, and was instantly attended by his personal valet. "Beckley, please escort this charming and brave young Lady to the blue room. See that she is attended by a ladies maid, someone kind," he warned in an undertone, "and that she is fed, bathed, her injuries seen too, and have the seamstress make her a new frock. And shoes. Thank you."
"Sir!" the girl gasped, boldly and desperately snagging at Wendell's lace cuff. "Sir, thank you, but what of my message? What should I tell my Lady?"
Wendell, sighed, dropping to one knee and taking the girl's hands. "My fine, brave, young Miss, we shall talk on these things after you have had a chance to rest. I must speak to my advisors on these things; but be assured that we will talk again before you return to your Lady, and then you will have my answer to her."
The girl looked at him, judging... then pulled her hands free. She lifted the hem of her skirt, ignoring the gasps of the watching nobility, and with a solid jerk she tore the seam. She pulled a small square of folded paper free of the new hole in her skirt, handing it to Wendell.
"From my Lady," she said.
Wendell took it with a respectful nod. "Again, I thank you, Miss. And I ask you, will you go with Beckley?"
Wendell stood, passing the girl's hand to the smiling valet, and nodded them from the room. As the walked through the crowd, Wendell signaled his guard. "Follow them. I want her protected," he ordered quietly. And the guard hurried after.
"Wendell," Tony started, stepping up and taking his arm, but Wendell held up a hand.
"My dear guests," Wendell said, his voice cutting through the muttering spectators. "Well, that was just fascinating!"
There was a general laugh.
"There is no telling what the peasants will get up to just to be around royalty! It's quite pathetic, really."
"So you don't believe the child's story?" asked a voice.
Wendell looked shocked. "What, that the Grey-Lady is sending emissaries for the first time in two generations, and that she chose a rag-tag child for the job? That's about as likely as a troll knowing his salad fork from his fish!"
Again, a laugh.
"Most likely the girl is just hungry and a little crazed. Feeding her will cost me nothing, and she can go about her way in the morning. Poor, filthy little creature." He shook his head sadly. "Ah, well," he continued, more brightly. "Let's not let this little drama spoil any more of our fun! Play!" he ordered the band, and the crowd dispersed talking animatedly, the young ladies impressed with his kindness toward the child.
"Wendell," Tony tried again. "How serious is this."
"Very," Wendell responded, never loosing his smile. He opened the letter, eyes moving over the words. "Very, very serious. Call the royal council together. Now."

History repeated itself this season as another famous Indian TV actress, Juhi Parmar, ended up as the winner of Bigg Boss season 5.

Most Notable Housemates
Pooja Bedi, Shakti Kapoor, Juhi Parmar and Laxmi Narayan Tripathi (LGBT rights activist)

Winner- Urvashi Dholakia
The women of the house completed a hat trick with another famous TV actress Urvashi Dholakia winning the sixth season of the show. Salman Khan returned as the host of the show. Navjot Singh Sidhu held the record of becoming the contestant to go longest without being nominated for elimination by the inmates. This season featured its fair share of characters with Emam Siddique being the absolute standout.
Most Notable Members
Urvashi Dholakia, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Delnaaz Merchant and Rajeev Paul
Memorable Moments
The now famous phrase, "Talk to my hand" was used a bit too much by the notorious Emam Siddique. Rajeev and Delnaaz's unlikely and forced love story and what many viewed as a deserving winner being crowned.

Air Date- 15/09/13 – 28/12/13 (104 days)
Winner- Gauhar Khan
This show of semi-famous looking for a nudge towards stardom. Salman Khan continued as the host of the show.

Most Notable Housemates

Air Date- 21/09/14 – 03/01/15 (105 days)
Winner- Gautam Gulati
This season became the joint longest running of all the seasons till date but was filled with entertainment. A not so famous model winning the show after gaining popular support over the course of the season was a great story in itself. Salman Khan started out as the host of the show but didn't complete the season due to his movie commitments with Farah Khan replacing him. This season was full of entertaining tasks with over the top fights being less when compared to other seasons.
Most Notable Housemates
Karishma Tanna, Upen Patel, Arya Babbar, and Minisha Lamba
Memorable Moments
Gautam Gulati's victory was a slow burning story throughout the season, Karishma Tanna and Upen Patel's love story in the house and of course Gautam Gulati's very own rendition of the song "We will, we will rock you".
Bigg Boss All Season : Season 9
Pic Credits: ibtimes.co.in
Air Date- 11/10/15 – 23/01/16 (105 days)
Winner- Prince Narula
The latest season of Bigg Boss had its fair share of twists and turns. Prince Narula completed his hat trick of reality TV show wins. The show had some peculiar characters like Rimi Sen and Mandana Karimi with one claiming to be there only for the money and the other painting herself as the victim whenever possible. Salman Khan hosted his fourth season in a row and his fifth overall.
Most Notable Housemates
Aman Verma, Kishwer Merchant, Yuwika Chaudhary, and Prince Narula
Memorable Moments
Fights between Mandana and Kishwer and between Rishabh and Prince continued throughout their stay with Priya Malik becoming a separate nuisance at the end. Keith Sequeira leaving the house due to his brother's death was a sad moment for all the viewers and housemates.

What to expect from Season 10?
Still, nothing much is known about the Bigg Boss season 10, except for the fact that there will be a common man/woman involved in the show from its beginning. The show in itself is expected to be as it always is an interesting source of time pass for at least nine months. The shoutfest and one or two standout personalities are also to be expected like most other seasons.

Implicit negative attitudes towards other races are important in certain kinds of prejudicial social behaviour. However, little is known about the neurobiological processes which might mediate implicit, negative racial biases.
In a pioneering project, and working with healthy volunteers, our group showed that a β-adrenoceptor antagonist, propranolol, compared to placebo, significantly lowered heart rate and abolished implicit racial bias (as measured using the racial implicit association test), without affecting the measure of explicit racial prejudice. These results indicated that β-adrenoceptors play a role in the expression of implicit racial attitudes, suggesting that noradrenaline-related emotional mechanisms may mediate negative racial bias.
Ranked #1 as the most widely discussed/mentioned neuroscience paper published in neuroscience in 2012 (Springer Ldt.), the article is the result of a collaboration between Phil Cowen and Sarah McTavish (Department of Psychiatry), Guy Kahane and Julian Savulescu (Department of Philosophy), and Miles Hewstone (Department of Experimental Psychology).
Mean response times in the racial implicit association task
for the propranolol and placebo groups
We are now exploring the neural basis for this pharmacologically-induced changes using functional MRI, conducted at OCMR. Lead by Sylvia Terbeck, our hypothesis is that propranolol will be assiciated with reduced activity in the amygdala, a part of the brain which plays a key role in the early non-conscious appraisal of threat.

This blog will continue hiatus
through January 1st. Until January 7th. (Might as well make it an even month off.) Have a great holiday, everyone.
Well, this is sad, although not at all surprising.
Regular readers may have noticed a lack of posts recently. I'm busy with other things at the moment, so blogging is taking a backseat. I don't have time to write more about this now. Hopefully tomorrow.
I appreciate all the responses to my question about billboards. Honestly, I don't really have strong feelings about billboards one way or the other, but if I had to choose a side, I would have to say that, sadly, I disagree with most of my commenters. I'll write more about why later, but before I do so, I have another question. Do you guys have a problem with ads on bus shelters and buses and in BART as well?
Sometimes I think I'd be a lot happier if I just stopped reading the newspaper altogether. Continue reading
So Novometro's print magazine, Oakbook, is finally out and I've got to say it looks totally fabulous. The magazine is free, so when you see it around town, make sure to pick up a copy a copy of the new, hipper alternative to Oakland Magazine, so you don't miss the very cool fashion spread, the spooky true crime feature, and a great reminder of why the African American Museum and Library is just that awesome. Also, horoscopes! (Apparently, I'm going dancing at Luka's this week. Who knew?)
Anyway, if you're planning on going out for First Friday tonight, make sure you stop by the Esteban Sabar Gallery at 480 23rd Street between 7 and 10 to celebrate the launch. If you weren't planning on going, now you have a reason to. Enjoy music by DJ Fflood and wine from Lost Canyon Winery.
So it's about time (PDF!) that someone tried to do something about the increasing safety problems in Fruitvale:
Oakland City Council President and District 5 Council Member Ignacio De La Fuente introduced the Fruitvale Safety Project – a three-month focused effort to reduce rising crime and violence in the vibrant Fruitvale Neighborhood through improved coordination and targeting of resources. "We all have to pick priorities and my priority is increasing public safety in the Fruitvale," said President De La Fuente.
Good for him. Continue reading
Why do people hate billboards so much? I feel like I must be missing something, because I just don't get it. Who cares if there's a billboard on the Bridge? And what does this have to do with the East Bay Regional Parks? I'm so confused!
So the East Bay Express this week was all about global warming. If you missed it, you can read the stories here, here, here, here, and here. And overall it was interesting. It was nice to see them have some actual content for once, even if it wasn't unique to that paper. But I have to admit that I'm a little bewildered that a newspaper can devote 4,436 words to a discussion of slowing climate change, and somehow not once mention the single most important factor driving increasing emissions rates – land use. In fact, immediately preceding their special rah-rah environmentalist section, they ran an anti-development story bitching about the kind of high-density housing that, frankly, we're going to need a lot more of if we want to accommodate anticipated regional growth without making the problems in question even worse than they already are.
Also, I'm not entirely certain that any of the Express articles managed to communicate what a daunting task the emissions reductions they're calling for is. In October I went to this ABAG/MTC joint event called Bay Area on the Move, where they talked about planning for anticipated housing and transportation needs for 2035. Continue reading
So if you ever attend or watch Oakland City Council or Committee meetings, a complaint you'll hear nearly every week is that the Council is disrespectful to Oakland's citizenry because they don't allow sufficient time for public comment at meetings. People get so angry about this! On their list of positions, Oakland's League of Women Voters includes a section on ensuring "Meaningful Citizen Input." The first bullet point of this section reads:
Adequate time for input at hearings (one – three minutes is often not enough)
Get real, people. Continue reading
So around 10 PM Saturday night, I happened to be sitting in a local bar, enjoying a glass of bourbon and a lovely conversation, when two of Oakland's finest entered and proceeded to march up and down the room with their flashlights, inspecting all the patrons for cigarettes. They wrote a couple of tickets, issued the bar a warning, and twenty or so minutes later, went on their merry way. Since providing real-time (or even near-time) crime data for its residents is not one of Oakland's strengths, I couldn't tell you what else was going on around the city at that time. But historical personal observation and anecdotal evidence have led me to conclude that Saturday night is not exactly a traditionally low-crime time, and I have a hard time believing that there was nothing else those two officers could have been doing to better serve the community at that exact moment. Continue reading
Nothing's inspiring me today, either in the news or at the Council. (Concerned citizens may want to check out the emergency meeting of the Measure Y Oversight Committee tonight, but I've already written about that.) Anyway, in lieu of spending time searching for something to complain about, I thought I'd share some stories about other places that I've found interesting recently and made me think of Oakland for one reason or another. Happy reading! Continue reading
I apologize for the somewhat erratic posting lately. This is a busy time of year for me. But I seem to be on a bit of a blogging binge today, so scroll down to make sure you catch all the new ones. I figure that another lengthy post would probably be kind of overwhelming, so I'm going to hold off continuing the Oak to Ninth stuff until Monday. Anyway, I want to highlight two things going on this weekend, plus a little bit of good news for West Oakland. Continue reading

Hello Coyote or used girls pre puberty in the nineteenth centuary girls came into puberty at sixteen so a hundred yearsor two before girls puberty could have been seventeen or eighteen.Interesting subject.Hey Katie: maybe the artists just used their imagination !
question- female anatomy

Katie, artists almost never showed the women with pubic hair in their paintings. In fact most paintings of nude females do not even show their slits, just something blanc. Art is not supposed to be vulgar. In fact even most male nudes in old art are nearly always shown with small genitals.
As a matter of fact women never shaved their pubic hair in old days in general. In fact if you see old photos of nude women, unless they are brushed over, they are always shown with full pubic hair.
Bridgewater, Canada
#43 Jan 9, 2011
Okay Katie- check out the Yawapiti tribe and explain the puberty/ no pubic situation. Hope your wrists are getting better.
Bridgewater, Canada

Sorry Katie- should be Yawalapiti
#45 Jan 9, 2011
To Coyote hello again please fill me in on the Yawalapiti.This seems good
Bridgewater, Canada
#46 Jan 9, 2011
Katie- you only have to type it in search and it is there. I do not know but possibly some cultures do not have pubes ?? If you google it you will note that the females appearing to be mature do not have them and I thought of that when you queried about the oil paintings and shaving tools of bygone era.
#47 Jan 9, 2011
To Sir Arthur hello i should think so art should not be vulger after all art is not pornography.When i was at my old school the H.S.A i had to paint and draw nude models both male and female and that was in the first year at the H.S.A.You are right the vaginal lips were never shown but the pussy bulge can be seen on some paintings along with what seems like a faint rash.Sir Arthur the first women to shave their pubic hair were the acient Eygptians followed by the acient Hindus.Wealthy roman women would have their pubic hair plucked.In days gone bye very few of the few of women did shave their pubic hair i think it was a social status sort of thing.You are right old pornographic photographs always show pubic hair.Well without a safty razor shaving ones pubic hair would be difficult if not dangerous you could end up with a case of self inflicted FGM.
#48 Jan 9, 2011
To Coyote thank you for the information on the Yawalapiti i will check that out.In Europe Scandanavian women have the least pubic hair and British and Irish women the most Coyote i think this is gong to become a good topic after all we are all adults.

I have also noticed this in photos and documentaries about African tribes. Neither the men nor the women seem to have any pubic hair at all. They either shave it or are hairless by nature, the latter being more likely. In fact the adult males don't even have hair on their face. Some races are naturally hairless, except on their head of course. I have also noticed this with the Amazon tribes, where both men and women seem to have very little pubic hair if any at all. In fact I doubt if any of the males in these races, both African and Indian and some others, can grow a beard at all. Asians are also less hairy. I think the white race is the most hairy race in general.

Sir Arthur: I sure do not know but maybe the info would be handy in a game of trivial pursuit. The tribe mentioned is well documented via verse and photos- my query was triggered when Katie alluded to razors etc. of bygone era. Thanx

To Coyote hello FGM is female genital mutilation a form of female circumcision Coyote did you know that the acient egyptians praticed female circumcision.
#53 Jan 10, 2011
To Sir Arthur hello yes some races are hairy than others.No amerindian male has facial hair even the Eskimos have no facial hair.African women have very little pubic hair due to the fact that they live in a hot climate.Pubic hair on a woman is belived to trap a natural scent to make her more sexual to the male how ever periods and a hot climate no not mix hence the lack of pubic hair on african women.This also goes for other body hair.Yes you are right Sir Arthur some amazonian women do not have pubic hair this again is due to a hot steamy climate.Yes i would agree with you that the white race is the most hairy in general.

Katie: sorry, but I am quite certain male Eskimos have facial hair- meanwhile- the Yawalapiti ?? FGM- I am not interested in such a horrid thing taking place no matter the era.
#55 Jan 10, 2011
To Coyote hello again iam sure that Eskimos have no facial hair but i will check that one out for you.Iam going to check the Yawalapiti out thanks for that information.Iam glad that you find FGM as horrid as i do i find all circumcision horridand that goes for these designer vaginas that the rich and famouse have takecare katie xxxx

Katie- please no more FGM-okay- I will disappear like a cloud. If you are sincere- I will guarantee male eskimos grow facial hair but is it because the fact you are female you will not comment on the Yawalapiti tribe and the ability to expose their vulxxx w/o modern shaving - I doubt Remington was there!
#57 Jan 11, 2011
To Coyote hello iam having problems with my laptop so i cannot enter onto the Yawalapiti tribe iam having difficulty getting my posts on this forum.When i can get on to the Yawalalapiti i will let you know erm no pubic hair every girls dream.Take care Katie xxxx

common Coyote, females int he locker rooms and swim areas where boys supposedly swam nude did not happen. It is a ridiculous thing to say and demeans you.
#59 Jan 26, 2013
but, to comment on the post, shaved men and women is very common in California lol. Women here are also decorating ;-}

Interesting that the alleged former "Sir Arthur", once the pride of this thread, has never returned, even under his alleged new identity. Lol.. "I Wonder Why," ask Dion and the Belmonts. Because, reply the Beach Boys, "That's Not Me".

Browne Jacobson Midlands recruiting" />
Three years ago Midlands-based Browne Jacobson had a disappointing level of brand awareness among law students that was leading to a decline in training contract applications. Online applications and feedback at law firms revealed a depressing picture.
"The reputation was weak – we weren't seen as a first-class regional employer," says Browne Jacobson HR executive Zena Comrie. This left the Nottingham firm in the lurch as stronger candidates would desert it for the likes of Eversheds if their applications to larger rivals turned out to be successful.
At the time less than half of all applications came from Midlands candidates. Browne Jacobson was highly aware that this could have a knock-on effect on the retention rate, with trainees from other regions less likely to pursue a career at the firm on qualification than their colleagues from the Midlands.
Despite not having a dedicated graduate recruitment team, Browne Jacobson pooled resources in its HR and marketing departments and launched a threefold campaign to improve graduate trainee recruitment, which yielded promising results.
The campaign consisted of the following goals: by 2009, to increase the conversion rate of quality candidates from offer to acceptance to 69 per cent from the 2005 rate of 59 per cent; to raise the levels of prompted and spontaneous awareness among students at preferred universities; and to increase the number of quality applicants for 2009 contracts from Midlands students.
The firm's strategy was to raise its profile as much as possible. This involved doing the legwork at law fairs and embarking on a number of marketing exercises.
One of the cornerstones of this strategy was an annual sports fair at the University of Nottingham. Students from the universities of Warwick, Leicester and Birmingham were invited along to compete in rugby, netball and football as part of Browne Jacobson's efforts to target the wider Midlands region.
This was "a good way of grabbing everyone all at once within the target universities", Comrie points out – and it fitted in with the firm's objective of being "in the Midlands, for the Midlands".
Events such as the sports shindig came good. On the first of the three goals, Browne Jacobson was wholly successful, increasing the conversion rate to 71 per cent, while the number of applicants went from 616 in 2005 to 1,133 in 2006. This was 41 per cent over the stated objective of 900 applicants.
Comrie points out that the number of trainees also slightly increased – from 10 in 2005 to 12 in 2007 – although this is driven more by business need than the campaign itself.
The results on the third pillar of the programme have been more mixed. While the number of quality applicants (those with three A-levels and at least a 2:1) did grow, the firm fell 6 per cent short of its goal of having 60 per cent of 2009 applicants coming from the Midlands. The firm argues that the record is still positive, with Midlands applicants growing by 7 per cent, and the firm is marking an own first with trainee vacancies in 2008.
With a series of hurdles overcome, Browne Jacobson is already moving on to new challenges. The firm is now focusing on its website and promotional materials.
It is not easy competing with national firms for quality local candidates, but given the positive results of Browne Jacobson's campaign perhaps the odd Goliath might sit up and take note of this David.

John Haydn Hughes, 47, admitted 1978, practising at material times as an assistant solicitor with Berwyn Davies & Co, Aberdare, struck off and ordered to pay £1,070 costs. Allegations substantiated that, acting as a solicitor, he gave undertaking he was not entitled to give, drew cheques on his firm's office account without authority, fraudulently completed withdrawal notice in respect of a building society account with intent to obtain controlled trust funds for his own purpose, failed to pay client money into client account, used client money for his own purposes. Hughes was previously before the tribunal in March 1994 and May 1987. The tribunal said it was dismayed to learn of the two earlier appearances. At one hearing the tribunal had taken the view that Hughes was fundamentally an honest and trustworthy person who through youth and inexperience had embarked on a foolish rather than dishonourable course of action. This tribunal considered he had behaved in a "dishonest and disgraceful fashion".
Michael Anthony White, 47, admitted 1974, and Michael Allan Atkin, 67, admitted 1955, practising in partnership at material time as MM Rossfield & Co, York, severely reprimanded and struck off respectively. Also ordered to pay costs of £740 and £1,080 respectively. Allegations substantiated White failed to deal properly with correspondence from the Solicitors Complaints Bureau and Atkin failed to account properly to predecessor solicitors for costs due to them and received by him from the Legal Aid Fund, failed to comply with decision of the Conduct Committee, failed to honour terms of professional undertaking, failed to comply with court order, was guilty of unreasonable delay in delivery of clients' papers, failed to reply to letters from the Law Society and the Solicitors Complaints Bureau. Atkin was previously before the tribunal in 1991 when he was fined £1,000 for failure to reply to letters from the SCB and practising without current practising certificate. The tribunal said Atkin's behaviour was unacceptable. White had apologised but the tribunal took the view that he was not a solicitor who should be permitted by the Law Society to practice on his own account.
Philip Lee Vaughton, admitted 1975, partner in Howes Percival, Northampton, at material time, fined £5,000. Allegations substantiated that he assisted in obtaining mortgage advances by deception. Tribunal said Vaughton had been extremely neglectful, had shown gross dereliction of duty and gross neglect when a fraud was clearly taking place. It was not, however, satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that he had been a party to the scheme at the heart of the complaint or that he had been aware of the fraud that had taken place.

When a patient receives the diagnosis of cancer, a first question that springs to mind is: Why me? For those with a family history of the disease, like a woman whose mother had breast cancer or a man whose father had prostate cancer, the physician offers as a facile answer, ''heredity.'' The pernicious seeds of the tumor were presumed to be present in the blueprint of the person's DNA, drawn at conception and programmed to blossom decades later. For those with cancer in the lung or throat who smoked, the disease is readily ascribed to the carcinogens in cigarettes.
Although a family history of a certain cancer or exposure to a known environmental toxin like tobacco are certainly germane, they still do not fully explain why that particular individual fell ill. Moreover, for most people with the disease, there is no apparent link to family history or lifestyle carcinogens. While we suspect the answer is related to something in their genes or their environment, we cannot offer them a cogent reply.
Human biology has been daunting in its complexity, and out of necessity, medical science is forced to simplify it in creating concepts of illness. Sharp divisions are often drawn where they do not actually exist. Disorders are routinely categorized as being hereditary, dictated by genes, or environmental, due to ambient toxins or microbes.
The relative importance of nature versus nurture in illness forms the fabric of heated debate among scientists. The announcement of the decoding of the human genome last month fueled the determinist camp that contends that nature, meaning our inherited DNA, explains most pathology. Starting from this premise, scientists and biotech executives presented intoxicating scenarios depicting a direct path from deciphering our genome to the demise of virtually all diseases, particularly cancer. We were told we are on the brink of a clinical utopia of almost mythic character where pathology and decay are poised to be banished from our midst. As the public spirits soared, so did the share prices of genome companies.Continue reading the main story
Such heady pronouncements caused the proponents of environmental factors to bristle. It comes as no surprise, then, that a study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, indicating a relatively small impact of heredity compared with environment on the sporadic development of most common cancers, has been used as fodder to deflate the genomists' claims, and to argue that our attention and resources should be devoted to investigating ambient toxins.
In the study, nearly 45,000 pairs of identical twins in Scandinavia were compared to fraternal twins. Since identical twins have identical genes, while fraternal twins share an average of 50 percent of their DNA, differences in the incidence of cancer between the two types of twins can provide an indication of the relative roles of genes versus environment. The researchers concluded that environmental factors play major roles and genes relatively minor roles. The exceptions appeared to be prostate and colorectal cancer, where the effects of heredity were more prominent.
What was missing from the Scandinavian study was an analysis of the dynamic and intimate interaction that occurs between our genes and the world around us. Indeed, the statistical model applied by the researchers assumes that no interactions occur between our DNA blueprint and external toxins like tobacco.
Remote from sophisticated statistics, common sense strongly argues that this dynamic interaction should be our focus. We all know of people who have smoked three packs a day of unfiltered cigarettes and lived well into their 90's without developing lung or throat cancer, or those who made alcohol a primary part of their diets and yet preserved healthy livers free of cirrhosis. We see this variability in outcome as well among women who have a powerful inherited susceptibility to breast cancer, carrying mutations in their BRCA genes. Their chance of developing breast cancer ranges from about 50 to 80 percent, not 100 percent.
Certainly our growing knowledge of the genome will help us make sense of this individual variability. In the case of cigarettes, we will learn which genes are important in metabolizing tobacco carcinogens in our bodies. This will be one piece of the puzzle. Another piece will be knowledge of which genes are damaged in the airway cells by tobacco smoke, causing healthy ordered growth to cease and unleashing the wild proliferation of cancer. The amount and types of tobacco carcinogens the individual encounters will be factored into the equation of his genes. We may then begin to explain differences in who gets sick and who doesn't.
The information gained from deciphering our genome will radically alter our long-held and largely static paradigm of the genesis of disease, particularly cancer. Over the decades, it will become increasing clear that the debate about heredity versus environment was miscast. Physicians will begin to craft more intelligent and complete answers to the patient's poignant question ''Why me?'' and offer specific advice on not only how to treat the disease but how the environment may be altered for both the patient and the patient's family.Continue reading the main story
