Celebrations Of Philippine Independence Day 2010

Every year people in the UK marks the date in the calendar, I do the same thing. For many, his first birthday, and then Easter and Christmas, the holidays, several of its events and occasions such as Valentine's, Mother and Father's Day, Chinese New Year, St. Patrick's Day, Notting Hill Carnival, Glastonbury, Bonfire Night, we could go on! But very few people whom I know all the notes and even ask what happens in the Philippines Independence Day. Why is this happening?

Maybe independence, as the concept is lost generations were brought up in a relatively peaceful democracy, especially if born abroad. Maybe it's because many still feel oppressed or have little faith in government. In many countries around the world, experience and terms of ring true, aggressive and repressive colonial master grant independence after the war, often bloody, followed by a period of economic and political collapse, when other states may try to take the country itself can not be socially and politically, before the dictator seizes power and establishes martial law, and then drove the peaceful modernization liberator.

Why Lou Piniella Is A Hall Of Famer?

Lou Piniella belongs in the Hall of Fame.Piniella announced today that he will retire at the end of this season, his fourth as head of the Chicago Cubs. If so, as he says in his statement, "time to enter a new phase in my life, it will end 23-year career in which Piniella never got it quite thoroughly as a strategist. You would have realized that Piniella managed for 23 years? Since he made his debut as a manager with the Yankees in 1986, there were only two seasons (1989 and 2006), Piniella was not in one shelter or another, a huge area of longevity, which was for the most part, very successful.

Managers usually do not get elected to the Hall on his statistics, but to stand in Piniella criticism. He won 1,826 games as manager, 14 of all time. Of the 20 managerial victories, all but the genes Mauch and Ralph Houk or are in the hall or on their way, Mauch had a career record below .500, and Houk did not manage a team pennant or a division title after his third season of the dugout. Piniella total of 3517 games managed by the 13th all the time, and it is one of only 14 men in history have at least 3000 games and posted winning percentage above .500. Piniella managed one World Series champion, 1990 Reds, a team that set a record for regular season wins, 2001 seamen and four other division champions and one wild card team.

The first thing that comes to mind when Piniella's character, who was a legend. Watch any highlight show today, and you'll see clips Piniella scream, scream, throw bases ... caricature manager. This was not what made him great. Piniella made the material things that made it better ballclubs, such as denial of the one closer to the model in 1990, when he had three terrific lines in Randy Myers, Rob Dibble and Charlton norms and drove them to the title World Series.
