Unreferenced date December 2009 The white marble sculpture Hercules and Cacus is to the right of the entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy. File Hercule et Cacus Bandinelli Florence Signoria.jpg thumb right 250px Hercules and Cacus by Baccio Bandinelli, Piazza della Signoria, Florence. This work by the Florentine artist Baccio Bandinelli 1525 1534 was commissioned as a pendant to Michelangelo s David David , which had been commissioned by the republican counsel of Florence, under Piero Soderini gonfaloniere for life , to commemorate the victory over the Medici . The colossus height 5.05 m was originally given to Michelangelo and meant to complement the David but later appropriated by the Medici family as a symbol of their renewed power after their return from exile in 1512, and again in 1530. Although descriptions of its unveiling in 1534 provided verbal and written criticisms of the marble, most were instead aimed at the Medici family for dissolving the Republic and were not aesthetic. A few of the writers of these hypercritical verses were imprisoned by Alessandro de Medici, further suggesting a political commentary. The two harshest critics were Giorgio Vasari and Benvenuto Cellini, both of whom were champions of Michelangelo and rivals of Bandinelli for Medici patronage. Vasari lamented the change of hands from Michelangelo to Bandinelli, and the change of design. Cellini referred to the emphatic musculature as a sack full of melons, forgetting that Michelangelo had received similar deprecation previously by Leonardo da Vinci. Neither Vasari, nor Cellini can be viewed as unbiased resources due to their rivalries. The patrons Medici family were quite satisfied and rewarded Bandinelli greatly for his efforts with land, money, and he was later placed in charge of all sculptural and architectural programs for the Medici under Cosimo I.

Unreferenced date March 2009 Image Louis J Wilde.jpg 150px right Louis J. Wilde July 16 1865&ndash April 18, 1924 was an United States American banker and United States Republican Party Republican politician from California . Wilde was born in Iowa City, Iowa in 1865. After living in Rochester, NY , Philadelphia , and St. Paul, Minnesota , he moved to San Diego, California San Diego in 1903. He intended to spend only a winter in San Diego, but liked it so well that he stayed and went into the real estate and banking businesses. In San Diego he organized four banks, built the city s first modern apartment house, built the Pickwick Theatre, raised money to complete unfinished U. S. Grant Hotel , and, in 1914, urged renaming D Street to Broadway.. The 1917 race for mayor was a classic Smokestacks vs. Geraniums debate, with Wilde calling his opponent George Marston , owner of the local department store, Geranium George. Wilde s campaign slogan, in his outspoken, flamboyant manner, was More Smokestacks , which was demonstrated during the campaign when he drew a great smokestack belching smoke on a truck through the city streets. Wilde, with the support of unions and business, won and was re elected two years later, serving as mayor of San Diego during 1917&ndash 1921. As mayor, Wilde was outspoken and not afraid to say what he thought, and had a sense of humor. Whenever he spoke, he drew crowds. During a council meeting in 1920 he grabbed a gavel and lunged at a councilman scolding him for bereating a reporter, and mashed his own finger and injured his leg. After that date he refused to enter city hall. He conducted business through a messenger from the U. S. Grant Hotel. In 1920 Wilde organized the Community Oil Well Company to drill for oil in San Diego County, California San Diego County . No oil was found, of course, and the San Diego Sun s investigation accused the venture of improper spending. Wilde decided to not run for a third term in 1921, under a cloud of scan ... more details
The J. Marhoffer was a steamboat that was wrecked on May 18, 1910, just south of Lincoln City, Oregon , United States. While underway to Portland, Oregon Portland under Captain Gustav Peterson, the vessel caught fire and ran aground at Boiler Bay State Scenic Viewpoint Boiler Bay , then known as Brigg s Landing. Her boiler still sits in the small inlet and can be viewed on calm days. The wreck While underway to reload in Portland after dropping off her cargo in San Francisco, California San Francisco , an assistant engineer on board tried to light an unfamiliar design gas torch, while the chief engineer was napping in his cabin. However, his inexperience and determination to light the torch caused it to explode and throw burning fuel throughout the oil soaked engine room. The flames spread quickly and soon much of the ship was ablaze, even before the burned engineer could make it on deck to alert the crew. The engine continued to run at speed, but was too hot for the crew to approach and flood it. Captain Peterson then ordered the crew to abandon ship. The Captain, his wife, the crew, and the ship s dog were able to abandon the burning vessel in her two lifeboats. The J. Marhoffer continued north without the crew, a burning beacon visible in Depoe Bay, Oregon Depoe Bay . It was not long before the doomed vessel ran aground at Brigg s Landing, where a sizable crowd from the surrounding area had already gathered to watch the burning ship crash. Shortly after, the vessel was destroyed as a large explosion ripped through her. The explosion launched debris a half a mile to a mile inland. Nobody on shore was injured by the explosion. One local described the event as follows I could see a small speck drift astern of here, and I figured it was the lifeboat with her people. Then she came charging in belching flames, sparks and smoke like a volcano. ref name wreck cite web url http www.oregoncoasttoday.com oregoncoastshipwrecks.html title Oregon Coast Shipwrecks accessdate 20 ... more details

other uses Charybdis or Kharybdis IPAc en icon k r b d s Ancient Greek Greek was a sea monster , later rationalised as a whirlpool and considered a shipping hazard in the Strait of Messina . The mythological background File Strait of Messina.jpg thumb 320px The Strait of Messina, with Scylla underlined in red and Charybdis on the opposite shores In Greek mythology , Charybdis or Kharybdis was once a beautiful naiad and the daughter of Poseidon and Gaia mythology Gaia . She takes form as a huge bladder of a creature whose face was all mouth and whose arms and legs were flippers and who swallows a huge amount of water three times a day before belching it back out again, creating whirlpools. In some variations of the tale, Charybdis is just a large whirlpool rather than a sea monster. Charybdis was very loyal to her father in his endless feud with Zeus it was she who rode the hungry tides after Poseidon had stirred up a storm, and led them onto the beaches, gobbling up whole villages, submerging fields, drowning forests, claiming them for the sea. She won so much land for her father s kingdom that Zeus became enraged and changed her into a monster. The myth has Charybdis lying on one side of a narrow channel of water. On the other side of the strait was Scylla , another sea monster. The two sides of the strait are within an arrow s range of each other, so close that sailors attempting to avoid Charybdis will pass too close to Scylla and vice versa. The idiom between Scylla and Charybdis has therefore come to mean being between two dangers, choosing either of which will bring harm. Traditionally, the location of Charybdis has been associated with the Strait of Messina off the coast of Sicily and opposite the rock on the Italian mainland identified with Scylla. ref Thucydides .

She seems to give off an air of prissiness and even snobbery to a degree however this is shown to be purely out of her concern for breaking her curse, which she is ashamed of . Later, Princess Fiona s true self emerges, as she is really a very down to earth and independent woman who is a match or even better than Shrek when it comes to farting, belching and other bad habits. She is a loyal friend, and unlike princesses of fairy tales, an expert in hand to hand combat with knowledge of Japanese martial arts. She also has very bad manners just like Shrek , since she is an ogre. However, she is much more well mannered when in front of her parents.
