8/31/06
The Reds are losing again, this time 7-2, currently it is the top of the 9th. Staying up in vain. Given up all hope for them, first time at .500 winning percentage since 4/5/06 when they were 1-1. Haven't been below .500 since 4/4.

DID YOU KNOW...
...that for over 200 years the Ribeira Palace in Lisbon was the residence of the Kings of Portugal until its destruction in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake?

TODAY IN HISTORY
1876 - Abdul Hamid II became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire when his brother Murad V was deposed.
1888 - In Victorian London, Jack the Ripper claimed his first victim.
1920 - Polish forces, led by their cavalry, defeated the Bolshevik Red Army in the Battle of Komarów.
1986 - After a collision with a freighter, Soviet ocean liner Admiral Nakhimov sank in the Black Sea within 7 minutes, killing 398 on board.
1992 - Pascal Lissouba was inaugurated as the President of the Republic of the Congo after a multi-party presidential election, ending a long history of one-party Marxist rule.

PICTURE OF THE DAY

Dante and Virgil in Hell (1850), inspired by Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, was William-Adolphe Bouguereau's first major work. In this depiction of Hell, Dante and the Roman poet Virgil (in the background) observe a pair of Hell's inhabitants.

In his own time, Bouguereau was considered to be one of the greatest painters in the world, but he fell into disregard in the early 20th century, due perhaps to his staunch opposition to the Impressionists. However, today there is a new appreciation of his works, with over one hundred museums throughout the world exhibiting his oeuvre.

I don't promote this picture.
