You will probably ask: “Who’s this American wannabe flip?” You probably won’t recognize me when you see me in designer jeans, black blazer and slip-on black leather shoes. But… oh the sweet taste of tender tendons and fall-off-the-bone pig’s skin. Believe me, I’ve tried making it here in the States but I can’t make it like you can. I remember spreading margarine on those still-warm breakfast rolls and sprinkling white sugar on top.Īnd then there is the “humba” (braised ham hock). To me that is mother’s milk.ĭo you remember how you used to run to the bakery - long before the sun was up - to wait in line outside for the first batch of pan de sal fresh from the oven? I do. If you want to call it halo-halo, go ahead. How about fresh young coconut meat all mixed in its juice, a few tablespoons of condensed milk and crushed ice? I might even throw in a couple of scoops of “macapuno” (sweet palm) ice cream. Just the thought of homemade “siopao” (steamed pork buns) and “tocino” (marinated sweet pork) makes my mouth water. I’ve been dreaming of fresh harvest rice steaming in banana leaves with grilled succulent “sugpo” (giant tiger prawns) in a sweet lime and chili glaze. I can’t wait to see you, hear you and smell you as you are today. I mean c’mon, a B-list action movie star as president? What did we think was going to happen?īut enough with the political talk. I’m sure that oversight is just a stubborn stain leftover from the government corruption during the Marcos regime and the era of Erap (Joseph Estrada). I suppose, being considered a Tiger Cub economy is not all that bad. I think it is a travesty that you can’t seem to gain recognition as one of Asia’s leading economies. Your Gross Domestic Product has grown almost tenfold since I left. I suppose that passes for progress these days.īoy you’ve been hard at work. Michael’s dead, Nonoy (Cory’s son) is president and you can get a pie right in town at Pizza Hut. My memories of you date back to a time when Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” was topping the charts, “People Power” was yet to hitch a ride on Cory’s (Aquino) shirttails and Dunkin’ Donuts was all the rage as “pasalubong” (omiyage or souvenir from a trip). I am now a middle-aged guy with a few rodeos under my belt yet I don’t know what I am going to say when I see you again. To be honest with you I am scared all over again. Way too long, if you ask me.Īs you read this I will be at 36,000 feet strapped to a seat next to my lovely bride in a Boeing 777 going approximately 564 miles an hour. I was just a boy then - scared, awkward, not entirely certain of what was to come. I have to say I have not been this excited since the day I bid you farewell and boarded my Northwest Orient flight to the United States. 18, 2013 Me on a pony on my family’s beach in the mid 1970s on the island of Negros, about an hour by jet south of Manila, Philippines. Join us as we visit the land of my youth.įeb. I have shared as honestly as I can the experiences my lovely bride and I had as we discovered a place that has only lived in my memory for the past three decades. This was my first time back in almost 30 years and I was as much a stranger to my countrymen as was my wife Meg. Dumaguete City is on the island of Negros, about an hour flight south from Manila, and is the seat of government for the province of Negros Oriental. For 10 days, I explored this city of more than 120,000 people. In February 2013, Longbranch Chronicles went on assignment to Dumaguete City, Philippines, in search of the charming town of my youth.

I follow another history channel that's picked apart a few of his various videos on historical topics, and in general I didn't pick up any hate from those. his writers handled the Benoit case better than most mainstream outlets too, and I worked in an industry involved in that case so I'm reeeeeal sensitive about the facts being put out on that.įrom a practical standpoint, he's reading what his writers have given him, but as you say the writers aren't public facing - he is. and a ton of people roll with the misinformation-riddled press of the day's garbage coverage of it, so clearly the intent is there to inform over just giving sensationalist theory/falsehood. Holmes on The Casual Criminalist factually, or his writers did. Simon is one of the few who has covered H.H. maybe note it kindly in the comments, and somebody who scrolled down because the topic and discussion interested them will catch it. the things I catch wrong are usually more minor points, not major ones that affect the overview of the topic to someone wanting to broaden their personal knowledge and trivia stack. infotainment is often the first exposure for people to find those things they wind up truly loving, and he's doing it with a lot more integrity to facts than literally the History Channel or Discovery do anymore. as someone with a few really intense special interests I know way too much about that he has covered, honestly, they need to lighten up. Most of the hate I've noticed has been from supernerds when he covered their special interest and didn't cover the full breadth of conversation on it, but. I guess bottom line is.what are his great sins? I'm just not seeing anything other than he is popular and is the on screen talent portion of a media company. They are an excellent lecture aid to giving historical context to certain volcabic eruptions. I'm a teacher and have used his videos on volcanoes in class before. And even they still use teams.Īlso, anybody with any understanding of how studying history works should be able to tell that he shouldn't be the FINAL word on a topic. Not everybody is Natalie Wynn or Knowing Better devoting whole periods of their life to producing one or two epic documentaries a year. Extra History, the Great War, Crash Course, etc. Which some people online seem to think isn't a legitimate gig but MANY other history youtubers have writing teams with one or several faces who are the on screen "talent". He is clearly primarily a tv presenter and history popularizer. I've found sometimes he's not 100% on the mark with things but sometimes it's just a matter of some sources of softer on certain figures or historians disagree on something and Simon just picked a side without acknowledging it. I tend to use Biographics for an introduction to historical figures and then I'll dig deeper if I want to. I've watched his stuff for a long time and found it to pretty good overall. We will be back soon.Are you looking for the very best Cabo adults-only all-inclusive resorts, hand-picked by two area residents and trip planning experts?

I will email you directly when we book again. Thanks for being a star and putting up with all of my requests. She helped me make sure everything was set up for this trip. Claudia, (chief of guest services) was the BEST prior to our arrival. Carlos Martinez( I think) was the manager that helped resolve my issues and really stepped up to WOW me with his proffesionalism and service upon checkout. Huge shout out to some of the admin /managment team members that helped us out. if you go to bed early, stay in buildings 1 or 2. Heads up, there are alot of private events like weddings, or corporate parties outdoors which go on in the areas outside of the preferred buildings # 6,7,8. The waves are amazing to watch while sitting on the beach. You can hear the waves all the time and there's a reason you can't swim in the ocean here. If you like the sounds of violent crashing waves. Desires night club/ lounge was fun as people get crazy on karaoke nights and dance all night once the dj gets going. good drinks and lots of interesting people. During the evenings typically the lobby bar was quite live and loud. you will Need to take a cab that charge $7 for a 3 minute ride. It is pricey but it was convenient and close by. I had the chance to play it twice this trip (early morning) and there's nothing like the all inclusive service with food and drinks. The Puerto Los Cabos golf club is amazing! Nothing beats the views and conditions of this track. I did play golf a few times on this trip. it can result in some abrasions and bruises. Make sure to protect your left arm if you do archery. At the Oceana bar, Francisco and Miguel were amazing!! For the activities, pool volleyball was fun and I took part in a few others, archery, putt putt, and poker all with Alicia and team. Pool side service was the best with the one they call Chucky!! He was spectacular. Some ppl would take pics others would run for their lives. I didn't mind so much but they had my wife on high alert everyday. One thing to note poolside is there are " resident " iguanas that live around the pool area or atleast hang out there. Pool was live and fun with added activities. Coco Cafe had awesome coffee and snacks !! The pool was VERY busy and you have no choice but to either book a cabana or reserve chairs early morning if you want to be in the action and close to swim up bar. Oceana- surf and turf or Salmon Portofino - pear salad, steak, penne, tiramisu Seaside grill was great for lunch - tuna / tataki sashimi was great and burgers were good. Or tepanyaki experience if you want alot of food. Dishes I would reccomend, El Patio- fajitas Himitsu- pad Thai, sushi, sashimi. As always in Mexico, the food is more salty than I would like but this time it was not bad with some exceptions. There are some items that I wouldn't order again but many were great. The restaurants are great and the food was better than I have read about and expected. The trip kicked off with some great tasting Jalepeno margaritas in the lobby bar made by Sonia, who was always a pleasure to talk to no matter which bar we encountered her. THANK YOU to Brian for helping us get this fixed immediately. Both issues were resolved within a couple of hours. The view was spectacular and we could see the golf course and ocean. Upon reaching our room, we immediately noticed the AC wasn't working, and the drinks in the fridge were warm. At check in We were offered an ocean view upgrade for a discounted price, which we agreed to and accepted. The property was sparkling clean and had a great theme for the decor. We arrived for our 20th Anniversary trip at secrets and the views were amazing. HOWEVER, not all that starts bad will end bad. We wanted a fun resort with a great pool and good food and we found it! I will start by saying that I've only marked this 4 out of 5 due to what I called "bad luck "scenarios but also ones that could've been prevented with the proper quality control measures. We just returned from Secrets Los Cabos and it was an awesome time for my wife and I.

Barotrauma has been reported among COVID-19 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), and other forms of respiratory support ranging from supplemental oxygenation by nasal cannula to heated high flow nasal cannula, , ]. Some studies have correlated COVID-19 related barotrauma with a longer length of hospitalization, longer ICU stay, and higher mortality. An increasing number of barotrauma cases have been reported with COVID-19 pneumonia in hospitalized patients. Pulmonary barotrauma refers to the spontaneous rupture of alveoli and the subsequent release or dissection of air into the various extra alveolar spaces resulting in pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pulmonary interstitial emphysema, pneumatocele or air cyst formation, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumopericardium, and or pneumoperitoneum. 843, Mein Roß so müd / "My steed is tired" 839, Ave Maria!

Music Tag Editor 7.5.1 Multilingual MAS macOS As veterans returned from the war, they largely chose to leave the aging neighborhood for areas with better housing and economic prospects, accelerating the trend of declining population and economic contraction. Demand for cigars increased after World War II, but by that time, almost all of Ybor City's cigar factories were mechanized and did not re-hire the skilled and well-paid artisans they had once employed by the thousands. Some cigar factories closed, others ended the hand-rolled tradition and turned to mechanization to reduce costs, and remaining operations sharply decreased production and payrolls, resulting in widespread unemployment and hardship across the entire neighborhood. The coming of the Great Depression in the early 1930s brought a sharp reduction in the worldwide demand for fine cigars, and Ybor City's economic base suffered greatly. Ybor City continued to grow and prosper through the 1920s, by which time its factories were producing almost half a billion hand-rolled cigars every year, giving Tampa the nickname of the "Cigar City". During this decade, Ybor City's residents founded mutual aid societies, labor organizations, newspapers in several languages, and many other social and civic organizations along with a diverse roster of businesses, helping to create a vibrant civil society that blended the residents' different cultures of origin into a new "Latin" culture unique to Tampa. The neighborhood grew rapidly during the 1890s, quickly evolving from a primitive outpost with streets of loose sand populated mainly by young Cuban and Spanish men seeking work into a bustling city with modern amenities and a diverse demographic makeup. He also helped to ensure medical care and paved the local streets and sidewalks. Martinez-Ybor started the practice of building small houses, "casitas", that his workers could buy at cost, in order to increase staff retention. Restored casitas at the Ybor City Museum State Park Italian and Eastern-European Jewish immigrants followed shortly thereafter and established many retail shops, farms and grocery stores, box factories, print shops, and other enterprises which catered to the cigar industry and its workers. The original population was mostly composed of Cuban and Spanish immigrants who worked in the cigar factories. Ybor City was founded as an independent town in 1885 by a group of cigar manufacturers led by Vicente Martinez-Ybor and was annexed by Tampa in 1887. It was unique in the American South as a prosperous manufacturing community built and populated almost entirely by immigrants. The neighborhood has distinct architectural, culinary, cultural, and historical legacy that reflects its multi-ethnic composition. It is located just northeast of downtown Tampa and north of Port Tampa Bay. Ybor City ( / ˈ iː b ɔːr/ EE-bor) is a historic neighborhood that includes the Ybor City Historic District in Tampa, Florida. |
