foul lady fortune

Orion Hong: brainwashed and now wants to kill Rosalind

Phobe Hong: is Priest

Dao Feng: 'It is a pleasure to meet you properly Priest.'

Celia Lang: aligned with the communists

Alisa Montagova: also aligned with the communists

Rosalind Lang: everyone I care for is now working with the communists, what has happened

[no-1-rosalind-lang-apologist]

that was not a joke. now is not your cue to laugh. do not pass go. do not collect $200. you are going to jail.

[no-1-rosalind-lang-apologist]

Oh I think it's going to be Silas.

At this point his cover is entirely blown. Since Dao Feng defected to the Communists, they definitely know that he's a triple agent by now since Dao Feng was his handler. In addition to knowing that Silas is a triple agent, Dao Feng also knows that Silas, Orion, and Rosalind do not suspect Phoebe at all and trust her to the point of involving her in their missions. This would lead them to the (correct) assumption that Phoebe knows that Silas's mission is to try to figure out who Priest is and hasn't really done anything about it. She also very obviously helped Rosalind and Orion much more than she had to to keep up her cover.

So. It would make sense for the Communists to tell Phoebe to kill Silas as some kind of a test of loyalty.

And to make this even better.

Oliver would be the one giving the order.

:)

I feel like Foul Heart Huntsman cannot be the finale of the secret Shanghai series if no one fakes their own death... Like come on. Someone's totally gonna fake their own death.

The Advantages of Waxing  For Men

It's estimated that about one in three men regularly get rid of hair from their backs, chests, legs or pubic regions. Waxing can be done by men too. In fact, it's arguably the best way to make the hirsute chest hairless, the mono-brow two, and the hairy back a thing of the past.

Why Wax?

Even though you are able to wax just about any portion of the body where there's hair, it is not advocated or the interior of the nose or ears, unless completed by a specialist. If you live in Hong L=Kong and you want to remove the unwanted hair from your body then you can search for various saloons that offer male waxing in Hong Kong.

It's estimated that about one in three men regularly get rid of hair from their backs, chests, legs or pubic regions - and that nine in ten women find profligate back hair a bit, shall we say, less than appealing. Saying that, don't just grab the nearest razor and dig in. For the vast majority of follicle-phobes, waxing is infinitely preferable to shaving, creaming or plucking. Reasons include:

·         Regions that are hairless thanks to waxing stay so for as many as eight weeks - depending on the person - and the hair often grows back somewhat softer and not as coarse. That's because the hair is removed in the root, rather than shaving where the top layer of the hair is eliminated.

You can visit https://strip.com.hk/waxing/ if you want to remove the unwanted hair from your body.

·         The wax used additionally functions as an exfoliate, leaving skin considerably smoother. This is only because it eliminates all of the dead skin cells on the upper layer of skin and shows smoother, peachier skin from its place.

·         Many men find that razors and depilatory creams serve as an irritant for their own skin, leading to a horrible razor-rash, cuts or other damage, or only a terrible odor. Waxing is simpler and kinder - and - smells fab!

Hair-Free without Hassle: Salon Waxing

For waxing to operate, it needs to be carried out properly. This implies either seeing a cosmetologist or even waxologist that knows what he or she's performing, or learning the way to do it yourself using a home improvement kit. There are many benefits of waxing you can navigate here to know about the various benefits of waxing.

Yummy China Restaurant Lives Up to Its Name

I promised myself I'd never use the word "yummy" in a restaurant review, but now my hands are tied. It's in the name of the restaurant--but more than that, it's a fair description. Yummy China fulfills its obligation, its moral contract, to present patrons with uncompromisingly yummy dishes.

The 6-month-old strip-mall restaurant, on an unlovely stretch of 8th Avenue, purveys the best Chinese food I've had in years. The kitchen traffics in bright sauteed greens, still-crisp veggies, burnished-skin ducks and cracked crabs redolent of ginger and scallion, served to a mostly Chinese clientele. Already, the place has a huge and devoted fan base, people who recognize that there's real Hong Kong know-how at work in the kitchen.

The soup  is a good place to start in getting at what makes Yummy China yummy. Good heat, clouds of egg and logs of slithery tofu - but what makes this version special is that amongst the wood-ear mushrooms are perfectly cooked shrimp and sea scallops. No way was this soup made in a bathtub-sized quantity and back-burnered for the duration!

A heaping tangle of garlicky ung choi (a water spinach with long stems) was the perfect, healthful foil for the platter of crisp duck skin - the ultimate guilty pleasure. The rest of the duck meat sits on a platter nearby, lengths of duck braised with garlic and rounds of ginger. Also good, but my hand kept creeping back to that duck skin.

The salt and pepper tofu may be the single best thing on the menu. Little cubes are cornstarched and fried, then tossed in a salt and pepper mix that makes them look like gray bricks. The bricks sit on a bed of crisply roasted garlic bits, scallion and some other crunchies I couldn't identify. I defy tofu-phobes not to like them, their centers soft and with all that nearby crunchiness and spicy-salty flavor.

The cashew chicken, often the vanilla-ice-cream-on-a-plain-cone of Chinese foods, was vibrant. Waffle-weave zucchini, crisp carrot, and baby corns mix with white-meat chicken in a pale, slightly smoky sauce, topped off with richly toasted cashews.

The restaurant is packed on most nights, the simple square dining room loud with the raised voices of big families and gastronomic enthusiasm. It deserves to be.

Yum.

Do You Want Acupuncture But Hate Needles?

Written by Sara Calabro Founder, AcuTake

Most people, when they hear about the benefits of acupuncture, find themselves thinking, “That would be so good for me!” Less stress, more energy, better sleep and digestion... Who doesn’t want that?

But for many people, there’s one thing that holds them back from enjoying the benefits of acupuncture: Fear of needles.

There’s a spectrum of needle fears, ranging from downright needle phobic to being moderately concerned about the whole voluntarily-being-stuck-with-needles thing. Regardless, fear of needles is the number-one reason people choose to forego acupuncture.

5 things to remember if you’re scared of getting acupuncture

Acupuncturists get asked about the tool they wield all the time. Here’s what they tell people who say they’d love to try acupuncture but haven’t because they’re scared of needles.

1. They’re nothing like the needles you know.

“Needle apprehension is very common and natural, considering that we have been conditioned to associate needles with pain—think dentists, blood draws, and IVs,” says acupuncturist Kathryn Peak. “But acupuncture needles are hair-thin and nothing like the needles we are accustomed to in a medical setting.”

“Acupuncture is the most gentle form of needling possible,” adds acupuncturist David Bonilla. “If acupuncture was anything like getting a shot, I wouldn’t be in business!”

Most people who have never had acupuncture do not realize how thin acupuncture needles are. They bend when you touch them. For an up-close look at an acupuncture needle, check out this article.

2. Kids do it.

Acupuncturist Adam Cantor reminds people that the needling sensation from acupuncture is so gentle that even kids are cool with it.

“If children are okay with getting acupuncture, it can’t be so bad,” says Cantor.

Acupuncturist Naomi Richman takes a similar approach when faced with needle-phobic adults. “I had an exclusively pediatric acupuncture practice for six years, and I still see a ton of kiddos for acupuncture,” she says. “When adults tell me they are afraid of needles, I share anecdotes about a child I recently saw who was really brave, or I tell them, ‘This morning, I did acupuncture on a two-month old.’”

Acupuncturist Robin Green has a whole website dedicated to kids loving acupuncture. This is a real thing.

3. Don’t call them needles.

Sometimes just changing terminology can help assuage needle fears.

“I’ve found that simply changing the word ‘needle’ to ‘pin’ helps shift the mindset away from needle phobia,” says acupuncturist Amy Kuretsky. “My patients love saying that I stick them with pins instead of puncture them with needles!”

Acupuncturist Jodi Knauer has another name for acupuncture needles: “I have several patients who refer to acupuncture needles as ‘magical healing sticks,’” says Knauer. “This tiny shift in perception, away from the western-medical ‘needle,’ can help to release fears and phobias around acupuncture.”

4. You’re in control.

People commonly assume that they cannot move once the acupuncture needles are in place. That they need to lie there stiff as a board lest they endure excruciating pain or damage their insides. Understandably, this leads to a lot of anxiety and out-of-control feelings.

But it’s not true. A good acupuncturist will go at whatever pace you’re comfortable with. If you want to start with only a few needles and not keep them in very long, tell your acupuncturist that. If you want to pull out a needle that’s bothering you, go for it. If you get push back on this, find a new acupuncturist.

“I tell my patients that we can go as slow as they want so that they feel like they are part of the experience,” says acupuncturist Po-Hong Yu. “Acupuncture is not about something happening to you. You have a voice.”

One thing you can ask for is that your acupuncturist avoid acupuncture points in your arms.

Acupuncturist Kerry Jenni, a self-described needle phobe who realized after becoming an acupuncturist that acupuncture needles are nothing like the ones she’s scared of, says that keeping her arms free during her early days of receiving acupuncture was helpful.

“Moving during acupuncture is a weird sensation,” says Jenni. “With your arms free, you can be more in control.”

Acupuncturist Christina Morris makes sure that her fearful patients remain at ease once the needles are in. “I leave the patient with a pager so that they can alert me if they’re feeling overwhelmed when I’m outside the room.”

5. It’s not all about needles.

“If the needles really freak you out, there are other modalities that acupuncturists can use,” says acupuncturist Paola Acuna.

Acupuncturists are trained in several healing techniques, and only one of them uses needles. There’s acupressure, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, ear seeds, qigong, herbs, among others. None of these things involve needles.

Taylor Swift Songs That Mention Cars That Are Totally About Phoebe and Silas - White Horse

say you're sorry, that face of an angel / comes out just when you need it to / as i paced back and forth all this time / 'cause i honestly believed in you

Because Phoebe and Silas are so close and have known each other for so long, Silas has likely picked up on the thing Phoebe does where she changes aspects of her personality based on who she's with, especially because I think she started to develop that a lot more during General Hong's trial, though it was definitely present while she was in London. Despite this, he probably still believes that he knows her, not just a facade that she's putting up. When Silas finds out about Phoebe being Priest, I think she's going to panic. Because I think a huge part of the reason that she changes her personality based on who she's with is her fear of losing people. And I think this is one of the bigger reasons she's trying so hard to keep her identity as Priest under wraps (I'm getting this from the end of the scene where Oliver and Celia break into Rosalind and Orion's apartment). Based on this, I think if Silas were to confront her about being Priest, she might panic and try to tell him what he wants to hear. And I think Silas would likely pick up on this if she were to do that and start to wonder how much she has been lying to him.

stupid girl, i should've known, i should've known

I think Silas will blame himself for not realizing that Phoebe is Priest quite a bit. I think he'll feel ridiculous for ever thinking that he ever really knew her beyond the front that she's putting up. He's going to feel really used. He let her know crucial details about his assignments all while likely picking up on a lot of stuff she was clearly hiding from him (ex: the gun in tpats). Not going to be a great time for him.

that i'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

In this song, Taylor Swift alludes to common fairytale characters and tropes to contrast the way she naively idolized her idea of a romantic relationship with the actuality of how one ended. This connects with the way that Silas has idolized Phoebe and ignored her faults, seeing her as more of an idea than a person and how that view of her will be shattered when he finds out that she's Priest.

now it's too late for you and your white horse / to come around

In the alternate reality dimension where Phoebe and Silas don't end up together, this is Silas saying that Phoebe has irreparably broken his trust, and it's too late for her to try and fix what she's done.

maybe i was naive, got lost in your eyes / and never really had a chance / well, my mistake, i didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upper hand

Again, Silas is likely going to naive and used when he realizes that Phoebe is Priest. I think he's going to doubt that their relationship was ever anything more than her manipulating him.

i had so many dreams about you and me / happy endings, now i know

Silas has loved Phoebe since they were very young. (I think that Phoebe has loved him since they were very young as well but has a harder time admitting it to herself for a number of reasons.) I think he could come to the conclusions that his dreams were unrealistic, ridiculous, and naive, at least for a little bit in FHH. We know they will get their happy ending, but I don't think it's going to be the ideal perfect relationship with zero problems that has been in Silas's head for years. I think he's going to start to see a more complete picture of Phoebe, including her faults, and love her more for it. And I think this is going to help him learn to stand on his own more. And be a more complete person, regardless of whether Phoebe is there or not. And I think their ending will be much happier for it.

and there you are on your knees / beggin' for forgiveness, beggin' for me / just like i always wanted / but i'm so sorry / 'cause i'm not your princess, this ain't our fairytale

Okay. So on the tiny chance that we are right about the potential "we have never been real" "we were to me" scene parallel, this would likely be the first time Phoebe has ever come anywhere close to directly admitting her feelings for Silas to him. And I think that if this scene were to happen and I am right about Silas's reaction to Phoebe being Priest and how that could potentially change his perception of her, I think that her finally admitting her feelings to him in this context could make him think that even if what she's saying is true, it means very little for her to be saying it to stop him from leaving. And he is no longer willing to blindly believe her and go along with whatever she's saying just for the hope of being included.

i'm gonna find someone someday / who might actually treat me well

Okay hear me out. It would be funny. Obviously painful to read. But funny. If Silas rebounded for 0.0000567896 seconds in FHH. And had a little bejeweled era. Because I support pettiness. And with the multiple povs the whiplash you would get from jumping from Alisa and Roma reuniting or something to Silas rebounding would be absolutely insane and very funny. I do not think this is actually going to happen at all. However, I don't have direct evidence that it won't happen, and I think it would be funny. But painful.

this is a big world, that was a small town / there in my rear-view mirror disappearing now

Obviously Shanghai is not a small town. But this is the obligatory car line. It is also representative of outgrowing childhood and experiencing the complexities of the real world, which often don't line up with the perfect idolized scenarios you come up with when you don't know better.

[typingwithmyhandstied]

Ooooh yes. That makes sense. You are very clever. Also that smiley face at the end is killing me (mostly of laughter but still).

I've actually never thought before about how Phoebe has probably gone beyond what she needed to do to maintain her cover, and that the communists might not trust her for that reason. Thank you for opening me up to this idea. I'm trying to collect theories because FLF caught me off guard, and I am determined to try to guess what will happen in FHH.

Assuming all of this happens, this poses two things to think about:

1. Does Oliver know that Phoebe is Priest even if he's her handler?

2. In this situation, would Phoebe be forced to reveal her identity to Silas instead of him finding out (I don't really care because either is drama/entertaining)? I would LIKE to believe that Phoebe couldn't kill Silas... She probably couldn't...

I would love it if this situation led to Phoebe faking Silas' death because chaos, and that would make her eventually maybe meeting Juliette even funnier.

I feel like Foul Heart Huntsman cannot be the finale of the secret Shanghai series if no one fakes their own death... Like come on. Someone's totally gonna fake their own death.
