This is kind of a big deal.
Whenever LeBron James leads his Miami Heat into battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers, speculation surges and visions of the prodigal son's return home run rampant. To no one's surprise, nothing's changed.
Free agency remains more than six months away. We don't even know if LeBron will make himself available. In the middle of all this hoopla, there's a basketball game to be played. A victory on the line.
But that won't stop the longing or dreaming.
Courting LeBron Part II begins Wednesday, when the Cavs host the Heat. All of Cleveland will have one eye on Kyrie Irving, as he looks to grab his struggling team a much-needed victory. A necessary sign of hope.
Another eye will be on LeBron, not out of curiosity for how he'll perform—his dominance is like clockwork these days—but out of want for insight. For a sign of his own.
For an indication that he hasn't left Cleveland completely behind.

Many businesses and service providers (SPs) are looking for ways to leverage cloud based backup solutions. For businesses, backing up data into the cloud represents a cost-effective way to manage the day-to-day task of protecting critical business data. For service providers, cloud backup technology presents an opportunity to gain new customers and increase their revenue. But the key to meeting the needs of both of these groups are solution offerings, like Datto's, that makes cloud backup and recovery simple and reliable.
Market demand for business continuity (BC) as a service is growing and lucrative. Mere data backup is no longer sufficient for customers who depend on their critical data and systems every minute of every day. They need true automated business continuity that will not just let them recover files as they existed at some point in the past—but that will empower them to immediately continue operating their business no matter what happens to their hardware or their offices.
Virtualization has become not just commonplace, but vital among enterprises—but what should a company know when architecting its virtual server backup strategy? Here are five tips, including knowing what to ask vendors and how to go about future-proofing your organization.
As a soup-to-nuts provider of IT support and managed services, DataServ Corp. caters to the needs of small to mid-sized companies from two to 100 employees in the Midwest market. DataServ functions as systems integrator, a full-time contract IT department, as well as a provider of managed services, depending on the client.
Most disasters strike when you least expect them. Some – like hurricanes – give you more warning. But in either case, it's a real problem if disaster brings your business to a grinding halt. Forces of nature, malicious acts, or even a simple mistake can have a long-lasting negative effect on your business. This idea paper offers some first steps and follow-up steps you can take to upgrade your disaster preparedness.
Let's get this out right here at the beginning: at some point down the road, your data is going to be in danger. It could be a machine error. It could be a virus. It could be a tornado the size of Nebraska. But sooner or later, you're going to be in a situation where you're at risk of losing some or all of your data.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are doing small businesses a disservice if they sell them a backup only product. Small businesses, just like their enterprise counterparts, must have the ability to recover data and keep their business running in the event of a disaster.
SMBs in general don't have the same IT budgets and staffs as larger enterprises. Yet just like larger organizations they need to protect their data—and make sure they can get back to business rapidly after a disaster or other event that compromises their data and systems.
How do you size up a new client?
When you've been in business since 1937, change doesn't always come easy. For one of the country's oldest producers of pancake and waffle flour the decision to upgrade their backup technology didn't happen overnight. However, one of New Carbon's stated corporate values is "Accountability:

I fully agree with Nicolaitan, a fine connoisseur of art and history, that the statue of Emperor Josef II can be considered as a plagiarism of the original Marcus Aurelian equestrian statue exposed inside the Capitoline Museums with a recent copy exposed on the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome.
You can compare hereafter my photos of the original Marcus Aurelian equestrian statue and that of Josef II (1741 - 1790), the eldest son of Empress Maria Theresia, by Franz Anton Zauner inaugurated in 1807.
Actually this was the first statue from an Austrian Habsburg emperor standing on a public square and the people of Vienna started to grumble that "so much money had been spend and the Kaiser had to sit on a horse without saddle or stirrup!" The fact is that at the time of Marcul Aurelius (121 - 180 AD) Romans ignored the stirrup.
Let's forget the statue of Josef II, an imitation of a Roman statue, and look at the various buildings showing a remarkable homogeneity making the Josefsplatz the most architectural homogeneous square of Vienna. Mostly thanks to the imperial court architect Nikolaus von Pacassi around 1760.
The main building is the "Österreichische Nationalbibliothek", National Library, from architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in 1723 and continued by his son Joseph Emanuel.
Spectacular are the decors at the top of the façades. The sculptures are from Lorenzo Mattielli: a quadriga ridden by Athena, a gilded globe supporter by the usual Atlas on the left side and another globe supported by Gaia, the earth goddess, less usual, plus other statues representing sciences.
Opposite the National Library one finds the classic Palace Pallavicini and the renaissance façade Palace Palffy. The building on the right has entrance to the Spanish riding school on the days with performances by the Lippizans. See my review Spanische Hofreitschule - Practical Info.
Founded by the Habsburgs, the library was originally called the "Hof-Bibliothek", Imperial Library. The library complex includes four museums of which the "Prunksaal" State Hall (1723), Papyrus Museum, Globe Museum, Esperanto Museum, as well as multiple special collections and archives.
The entrance prices are rather high: 7 € for the Prunksaal but worthwhile for the décor; 5 € for the Globe museum.
Lovers of libraries and books will think they've died and gone to heaven , so splendid is the Prunksaal, the main hall of Vienna's National Library. The largest Baroque library in Europe, this really is a temple to the written word, 77 metres long with pairs of marble columns framing the enormous domed centre space like the sanctuary of some great cathedral. Magnificent frescoes on the vaulted ceilings, marble statuary, wonderful curving spiral staircases leading to the upper stacks, rich leather and gilt on the bindings on hundreds of thousands of books all pierced with shafts of light from the high lunette windows - it is a fantastic sight.
Special exhibitions are staged here - Cookery Through the Ages was the theme of the one I saw - drawing on the library's marvellous collection of books and related material that dates back to the 14th century. Having been built to house the court library, the collection passed into public ownership in 1920, since when the collection has grown to enormous proportions, far too big for it all to be housed here in the Prunksaal, but this is the showpiece of the library without a doubt.
The striking Josefsplatz, made even more famous by the post-WWII movie The Third Man, suffers today as a parking lot and main pedestrian thoroughfare, dates to the 18th C. It is surrounded by a wing of the National Library with a roof topped by classic statuary, the Augustinian Church, and the building housing the Spanish Riding School. The statues are classically beautiful, worth noting.
At the center is a statue of the reform-minded HRE Josef II. The strong alliance of the Hapsburgs with the papacy in Rome and the incredibly widespread Austrian Empire made Josef a leader of many peoples. Like other emperors, he tried to be a leader for all these people in the manner of the ancient Roman leaders. The statue created around 1800 by Franz Anton Zauner depicts him as a Roman Emperor and copies a statue of Marcus Aurelius in Rome's Piazza de Campidoglio complete with upraised right arm. Reliefs at the base depict his military conquests, a visit to Rome to schmooze with the Pope, and most interestingly a relief of two different religions shaking hands - testimony to his tolerance for all faiths in a unified Austrian Empire ( even after the fall of the Holy Roman Empire concept in 1806 ) and creation of the Austrian Empire.
The roof statuary is by Lorenzo Mattielli dating to 1726. At the center, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and justice, rides a quadriga. To the left side as you face, Atlas supports the globe with Astronomy and Astrology at his sides. To the right, the globe is supported by Gaia, the earth goddess with adjacent statues of geometry and geology. All fitting for the roof of one of the world's great libraries.
Even more shameless in its attempt to mimic Roman splendor is the statue of Francis II/I, first the HRE and then the first Austrian Emperor, in the inner courtyard of the Hofburg ( image 5 ) by Pompeo Marchesi from the early 19th C. Surrounded by figures of Roman goddesses, he is garbed in traditional Roman robes.
It is one of the most harmonious city public squares, all sluice from buildings of XVII century. On the bottom there is the Nationalbibliothek; on the right Redoutentrakt of the Hofburg that takes name from the Redoutensaal, still today knows used it for the masked dances, but also for conferences. On the left Augustinertrakt, wing of the convent of Agostinians (1773); to the center of the public square there is a statue of Giuseppe II work of F.A.Zauner (1807). On the opposite side there is the Palais Pallavicini, erected in the 1783 from F. von Hohenberg, with a door with cariatids (1786) by F.A. Zauner; nera it there is the Palais Palffy (1575) in which the rinascimental facade has been restored after the serious damages endured in the second world war: it was exhibited the prodigious child Mozart who make here the first private execution of the "Wedding of Figaro".
Josefsplatz (Joseph's Square) is named after Emperor Joseph II, the eldest son of Maria Theresia empress of Austria, and the brother of Maria Antoinette, the queen of France. This square is considered one of the finest in Vienna. Joseph II (1741-1790) was Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790 and ruler of the Habsburg lands from 1780 to 1790. Joseph was a proponent of enlightened absolutism. He asked that his epitaph read; "Here lies Joseph II, who failed in all he undertook".
The central position of the square is occupied by the equestrian statue of the Emperor Joseph II, in a full size. The sculpture was erected by the Austrian sculptor Franz Anton Zauner between 1795 and 1807. The sculptor was inspired by the statue of Marcus Aurelius on Capitoline Hill in Rome. Joseph II, who was the last Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, is depicted as a Roman conquerer, dressed in a toga and a laurel wreath. Such look of sculpture reflects the Habsburg belief that they were descendants of the ancient Roman emperors.
Day 2 : Josefstadt
It was really nice to walk around in Josefstadt. It was very quiet, almost no tourists, maybe because it is a bit of the beaten path.
There were some beautifully decorated houses and palaces, like for example at nr 53 in the Lange gasse which beautiful statues on the iron fence.
There are also some remarkable courtyards with small houses (Lange gasse nr 29)
So it is really worth to come here for a small sightseeing walk.
This is a public square at Hofburg Palace is named after Emperor Joseph II. No wonder there was a huge equestrian statue of Joseph II in the centre of the square, been there since 1807. The statue is similar to the one on Capitoline Hill in Rome. The statue depicts Joseph II dressed in a toga and a laurel wreath. The Habsburgs believed they were descendants of the ancient Roman Emperors.
What I noticed next, was the exterior decoration on the roof with Attika figures from 1726.
One statue is of Pallas Athene riding on a quadriga above the main entrance. On the LH side is Atlas, supporting the celestial globe, flanked by Astronomy and Astrology, and on the opposite side, Gaia with the terrestrial globe, flanked by allegories of Geometry and Geography. They look really good!
Do have a peek through the windows at the Imperial Stables, which once housed around 900 Lipizzaner horses. It was built in the 16th century and at one stage housed the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm between 1614 and 1662. It was later when converted to stables for the Hofburg. Smart stables surrounding a large courtyad with arcades on three level, the home of the Spanish Riding School and the Lipizzaner Museum resides here.
Josefplatz was a location used in the film The Third Man (1949).
Also, it was was selected for the 5 euro Austrian euro collectors' coins.
Josefsplatz, Joseph square in English, is one of Vienna's most elegant squares. It's in the heart of the Hofburg district, it's over 200 years old and all its buildings are not a clash of styles: the buildings around this square are all in and centuries Late Baroque style.
In the middle of the square there's a statue of the emperor Joseph II on horseback, while the surrounding buildings are the Austrian National Library, the Spanish riding school, the Pálffy and the Pallavicini palaces.
The Imperial Library, colloquially called Prunksaal, was founded by Charles VI. Its construction was begun by Johann Bernhard Fisher von Erlach and finished by his son Joseph Emanuel in 1735. It is the most significant part of Hofburg in artistic terms.
On the left portion of the roof, executed by Lorenzo Matielli in 1726, is situated Atlas, supporting the celestial globe and flanked by Astronomy and Astrology. On the opposite side is Gaia with the terrestrial globe and flanked by allegories of Geometry and Geography. In the central position of the roof, above the entrance, is Athena riding on a quadriga.
Named after Kaiser Jopsef I, and hosting a statue in his honor, Josefsplatz is the lesser-known cousin of Michaelerpltaz. Around this square you will find the Stallburg, the National Library, and the Augustinerkirche.
Day 2 : Hofburg area
Coming from the Michaeler Platz, I walked towards the Albertina Platz, like this I arrived at the Josefplatz (Josef Square).
Josefplatz is surrounded on 3 sides by beautiful buildings which are part of the Hofburg.
Behind the statue is the Austrian National Library with the beautiful Prunksaal.
On the right hand side you can visit the Augustiner kirche (see earlier tip).
On the left side is the Winterreitschule, the famous Vienna horse school, but note that the entry to this school is not via this square (however some guide book mention this as the address of the horse school), in fact the entry is via the Michaeler Tor (gate at the Michaeler Platz (on the left side coming from the Michaeler Platz).
The statue in the middle of the square is Josef II on his horse.
And on the road side there are some more palaces, like the Pallavicini Palace and the Palffy palace, where you could make reservations for some W.A. Mozart concerts.

If you choose to not participate in contests, then choose a different time slot if you want to avoid the band crowding. To ask that your personal interests should be held above those of the contesters by reserving frequencies for your personal use is certainly presumptive. ---------- On the QRZ survey there was a similar message (time diversity) from W5HTW. In these times when common sense is more precious than bagging that last section with 5 minutes to go, it was great to read his post along the lines of what you mention above. He is not a contester, but seems to co-habitate well on the same planet with same. Fancy that. As far as pressure on the bands--it seems there must always be a lot because every few weeks I get a letter saying we are going to lose our frequencies--send money. I say the more pressure from "within" the bands the better. There's plenty of pressure from "without" to grab our freqs, or so I'm led to believe. If I was one of the guys in charge of frequency auctions/allocations and I tuned across the ham bands and they just happened to be full of stations hollering "Ur Figh Nigh Kilo" I would be frightened and move on to other less active parts of the spectrum to put on the chopping block. We might see you this weekend from the new NorthCentral Montana section where we had absolutley no degrees this morning. We now have 10 deg F.

|I once warned you, Percy Jackson, that to save a friend you would destroy the world. Perhaps I was mistaken. You seemed to have saved both your friends and the world.
–Athena, talking to Percy on Olympus, in The Last Olympian
Athena is the Greek virgin goddess of wisdom, handicrafts, useful arts, and battle strategy. She is the daughter of Zeus and Metis, and her symbols include the owl, Aegis, the olive tree, and the snake. Her Roman counterpart is Minerva.
Athena was the daughter of Metis and Zeus. A prophecy had once foretold that Metis would give birth to a son more powerful than his father, which was the god Zeus. This posed a problem as Metis was already pregnant with their first child. To prevent the prophecy from taking place, Zeus tricked Metis into taking the form of a fly and swallowed her. What Zeus did not know, was that Metis was pregnant with their daughter.
Over time, however, Zeus eventually began experiencing terrible headaches so Hephaestus offered to put Zeus out of his misery by splitting open the latter's head with his awl and hammer. While most of the other Olympians held Zeus down on his throne, Hephaestus banged his awl into his father's head with a mighty blow, creating a fissure, thick enough for Athena to squeeze her way out, after which she grew into a full-size goddess, much to the astonishment of the other gods. Hephaestus subsequently stitched up the fissure in Zeus's head.
Athena quickly became Zeus' favorite daughter. She is, above all, the Goddess of the City, the protector of civilized life, of artisan activities, and of wisdom. She also invented the bridle, which, for the first time, tamed horses, allowing men to use them.
Shortly after her emergence from Zeus's head, her father sent her to live with the nymphs of Lake Tritonis, since their warlike nature and aestheticism appealed to her. Athena would get along famously with them, and would come to become a master of both armed and hand-to-hand combat under their tutelage. Her dearest friend, however, was a girl named Pallas, the only nymph who could match the prodigiously skilled Athena in combat.
Eventually they engaged in yet another sparring match, but they fought with such speed and intensity, that Zeus, who happened to be watching them at the time, mistook it for a genuine mortal duel. Worried for his daughter's safety, Zeus appeared in the sky right behind Athena, and held up his fearsome Aegis shield, which greatly unnerved and startled Pallas. Athena proceeded to disarm her friend of her javelin and counterattacked, stabbing at Pallas' gut. Her startled friend was too slow, however, and Athena ended up accidentally fatally piercing her with her sword.
A devastated Athena honored her best friend with a sacred monument, building a wooden replica of Pallas, draping a small section of her Aegis cloak over its shoulders. This statue would eventually end up in the city of Troy, becoming known as the Palladium (Place of Pallas) shrine, with women being allowed to claim sanctuary there from Athena, while men were forbidden from even looking at the statue. Since Pallas's statue greatly resembled Athena herself, confused people would eventually begin referring to the goddess herself as "Pallas Athena", which the goddess encouraged, as it helped her keep Pallas's memory alive.
Athena was also known as "Athena Parthenos" ("Ahena the Virgin"), which was how she was worshiped at the Athenian Parthenon. This would also be the name of her statue that stood there, which eventually becoming the most famous Greek statue of all time. When she leads in battle, she was known as "Athena Promachos".
Hephaestus and Erikthonius
Hephaestus had managed to develop strong unrequited feelings for Athena, all the more because they had similar interests in tool and crafts respectively, as well as a penchant for solving mechanical problems. Unfortunately for him, however, Athena, as one of the Virgin Goddesses (along with Hestia and Artemis), was incapable of romance, and never desired to marry anyone. A lovesick Hephaestus would not be deterred, however, and persistently followed and flirted with the beautiful goddess, finally flinging himself at Athena, wrapping his arms around her waist, tearfully burying his face in her skirt. In the process, some of his divine sweat and tears rubbed off on Athena's bare leg where the skirt was parted, much to her chagrin. She kicked Hephaestus away and snatched up a piece of cloth to wipe the godly moisture off of her, hurled the cloth off Olympus, and ran away from her persistent admirer.
The cloth, containing the essence of both Hephaestus and Athena, would subsequently transform into a mortal baby boy Erikthonius, a mortal child of both gods. Athena placed her son into a wooden chest, along with a magically conjured serpent, with the intention of Erikthonius's godly qualities eventually being enhanced by the serpent, making him immortal. Athena then took the chest to the Athenian Acropolis (her most sacred place) and gave it to the daughters of Kekrops (the first king of Athens), and warned them not to open it. While the princesses agreed, they would be overcome with curiosity after only one night, they opened the chest. However, seeing Erikthonius and the serpent rendered them insane, and they promptly jumped off the side of the Acropolis's cliffs, plummeting to their deaths. As a result, the spell was broken before Erikthonius could become immortal, and the serpent slithered away, inducing Athena to raise him herself. Athena would eventually take out her vengeance on the girls' father, Kekrops, whom a grown up Erikthonius would banish, usurping his Athenian throne.
While Athena remained a virgin goddess, she did end up having quite a few demigod children afterwards, with them being conceived when her divine thoughts meet the mortal ingenuity of the men she favors, a love which she believes to be the of the purest kind. Her children are then born in the same way she was, quite literally making them brain children. It is unknown if any other goddess can give birth to children in a similar way. One of her most famous demigod children would be Daedelus.
Aphrodite's Marriage
The goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, was causing a lot of problems on Olympus due to her radiant beauty. Hera, feeling that her godly family was about to unravel, was determined to prevent that, and hastily ordered the other Olympians to silence themselves. As the goddess of marriage, she felt an obligation to pick the perfect husband for the new goddess, and proclaimed that such a perfect match was her son Hephaestus, much to Ares and Aphrodite's dismay. Hephaestus himself was so surprised, that he fell off of his throne. Athena was quick to agree with Hera as well, pointing out that if Aphrodite were to marry anyone else, all of the other male gods would never stop fighting about it, while it would be nearly impossible for them to be jealous of Hephaestus. Hence, Zeus married both of them right then and there, with Hephaestus promising to be a loving husband.
When her father Zeus decided to create the irresistible Pandora (in order to punish Epimetheus for his brother Prometheus' actions), Athena helped by gifting the girl with cleverness and curiosity, as well as teaching her weaving and crafts.
Inventing the Flute
One day, Athena, whole walking in the woods near Athens, discovered a nest of hissing snakes, giving her a sudden idea for a musical instrument, which she would fashion from a hollowed out reed with holes, thereby creating the first flute.
Proud of her achievement, Athena took the flute up to Mount Olympus, eager to perform in front of the other gods. As soon as she started playing, however, Aphrodite, Hera, and Demeter began giggling and whispering to each other, with Demeter and Aphrodite eventually pointing out that Athena's facial features comically contort while she plays. An embarrassed Athena fled in humiliation, and hurled the flute off of Olympus, cursing it to give the worst fortune to the next person to play it.
Since the flute landed in Asia Minor, that person would end up being the satyr Marsyas, who was so stunned by the beautiful music that it created (since it had been filled with the breath of Athena), that he actually challenged Apollo to a music competition. Due to Athena's curse, however, Marsyas lost and was subsequently flayed alive by a victorious Apollo.
One night, Athena would go to a swimming hole in central Greece, for relaxation purposes. However, while the naked goddess stood bathing under a waterfall, she heard the cry of a mortal man named Teiresias, who had accidentally come across her. The startled and embarrassed Athena promptly blinded Teiresias. However, since he was very apologetic, the goddess sympathetically sent birds and snakes to lead and protect him (granting him the ability to understand their language), and also gave him supernatural powers of precognition, which lead to Teiresias becoming a great prophet shortly thereafter.
Aphrodite's Humiliation
One day, when Hephaestus pretended to depart for Lemnos, Ares and Aphrodite retired to the latter's bedroom, but were imprisoned and immobilized by an unbreakable golden net as soon as they jumped into bed. A returned Hephaestus then proceeded to lead the rest of the gods into his bedroom, determined to humiliate the cheating pair. Athena took the chance to jeer at Aphrodite.
Rivalry with Arachne
A long time ago, the mortal Arachne challenged Athena to see who could create the best tapestry. Athena then disguised herself as an old woman and tried to warn Arachne that it would be foolishness to challenge a goddess, but Arachne persisted and stated that if she lost, she would accept any punishment. Enraged, Athena revealed herself and accepted the challenge as she herself had invented weaving. Each of them then made a tapestry. Athena's tapestry was of the gods together in glory and joy while Arachne's showed the gods making fools of themselves. Athena was so infuriated by this deliberate insult to the gods that she destroyed the tapestry in rage and was declared the winner.
Arachne was filled with guilt and hung herself. Athena, after seeing Arachne's body, felt responsible for her death and decided to do her a favor. She turned Arachne into a spider so that she and all her children would be expert weavers forever. In other versions of the myth, Athena transformed Arachne into a spider directly after the contest as part of Arachne's punishment.
Be it whatever reason, ever since then, every child of Athena has suffers a deep fear of spiders. They are very paranoid that every spider they see is out to get them and avenge Arachne. Most of the time, this is true as spiders are shown to be hostile to them.
Rivalry with Poseidon
For many eons, Athena and Poseidon have had a rivalry between them, which can be traced to the time when they competed for the position of patron of the city of Athens, (called Attica at that time). The leader of the city asked the two gods to bestow a gift for the newly constructed city. Poseidon created a salt-water spring and horses, while Athena gave them the olive tree. Seeing that the olive tree was more useful than the salt-water spring and horse, the leader of the city Kekrops made Athena their patron goddess. A temple known as the Parthenon was dedicated to her, and the new city took the name of Athens in her honor.
Another time which marks a conflict between the two Olympians was when Athena transformed Coronis (whom Poseidon was trying to seduce) into a raven. As a result, a furious Poseidon longed for revenge. Hence, he took Medusa, his new lover, into Athena's temple. Furious with Poseidon and Medusa for doing such disgusting and disturbing acts in her temple, Athena turned Medusa into a hideous creature who had the additional curse of turning anyone who looked into her irresistible eyes into stone. As Medusa's sisters had helped her get inside the temple, they too were transformed. Collectively, the three sisters are known as the "Three Gorgons". Yet another time both of them were at odds about Odysseus. While Poseidon was furious with him for blinding his son Polyphemus, Athena favored him above all other mortals, and was always willing to aid Odysseus when he needed it most.
Though it seems unlikely that Athena and Poseidon would ever cooperate, this did happen when the chariot was invented, as Athena had built the chariot itself and Poseidon had created the horses needed to pull it. Poseidon and Athena were also on the same side during the Trojan War, as they had both supported the Greeks.
Athena's rivalry with Poseidon seems to be the basis of her dislike for Percy Jackson, Poseidon's son. Their parents rivalry does not seem to affect Percy and Annabeth Chase. Athena, however, tells Percy that she does not approve of their relationship, and has told him to stay away from her daughter on several occasions. At the end of the series, she seems to be more civil towards Percy, though she does singe his clothes as a warning, should he ever hurt Annabeth.
Trojan War
During the 10-year long Trojan War, Athena (along with Hera and Poseidon) supported the Greeks, most often the hero Odysseus, whom she finally gave the idea of the Trojan Horse. She also helped the hero Diomedes defeat Ares in a duel. She would later assist Odysseus again multiple times during his lengthy journey back home to Ithaca.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The Sea of Monsters
She is seen when Annabeth is being lured by the Sirens, described as wearing hiking boots and jeans and casual clothing. She was sitting with Luke and Annabeth's father, Frederick Chase, supposedly at a picnic in the redesigned Manhattan that Annabeth designed.
The Titan's Curse
Athena disguises herself as a park ranger at the Hoover Dam, and advises Percy on how to escape, despite her misgivings about him. It is likely that her desire to see Annabeth saved outweighed her disapproval of him, therefore the reason she helped him.
At the winter solstice, when Zeus asks the room if Percy should be left alive as he could be dangerous, Athena, along with Ares and Dionysus (half-heartedly), do not raise their hands to defend him, but they were out-ruled by the majority. Athena later tells Percy not to judge her too harshly and that he is a big risk to take. Percy replies by saying, "So you're saying you shouldn't take risks?" She concedes to his point, but then informs him of his fatal flaw, which is intense personal loyalty. Percy is outraged by the thought that a desire to help those he loves could be considered a flaw, but Athena tells him that the most dangerous flaws are those that are good under the right circumstances, and that as a hero of a prophecy his flaw could cause the downfall of the world. Percy wants to argue, but is left speechless, thinking "she is pretty darn smart".
Athena was "pretty darn smart", and Percy makes a note that she would be one of the worst gods to have as an enemy, as she is smart and would not make a mistake or act rashly, but would just keep hunting you down. The goddess leaves after warning him that she does not approve of his relationship with her daughter, Annabeth.
The Last Olympian
Athena knows that Typhon is a distraction, and that Kronos sent him through the United States to get them away from Olympus, so he could send his army to overtake it. She convinces Zeus to send Hermes to tell them that it is a trap and gives them information. She tells Annabeth to "Try Plan 23" and Percy to "Remember the rivers", and also to stay away from her daughter. However, the demigods from Camp Half-Blood defend their parents' thrones and many die in the process.
Athena later tasks Annabeth as the designer to rebuild Olympus. She praises Annabeth's abilities to everyone making Annabeth very proud. She also votes for awarding Percy immortality, though she turns to look at Annabeth when she says this and most likely noticed her stricken expression at the thought of losing Percy. After the council meeting, Athena privately talks to Percy saying that she could have been wrong about him, but not necessarily say she was. Later, Athena asked why Percy would give up immortality and he first says that he could not leave Annabeth and then quickly adds that he could not leave Grover Underwood either. She then quickly tells Percy to "spare her" and disappears in a column of flame that singes his shirt.
The Heroes of Olympus
The Mark of Athena
While flying to Camp Jupiter on the Argo II, Annabeth became nervous and wished she could pray to Athena, but that was impossible. She also mentioned a meeting with her mother about a month ago, where she was given the worst present of her life from her meeting. The Romans, after conquering the Greeks, decided to crush their rivals by stealing the Athena Parthenos, breaking their and Athena's spirit. The Romans changed Athena and reduced her to a goddess of crafts and wisdom, taking away her title as a war goddess and replacing her with other gods like Bellona and Mithras, much to her anger. Since her counterpart, Minerva, was a strict maiden, Reyna, Octavian, Terminus, and the other Romans at New Rome were distraught to see her daughter Annabeth, calling it scandalous.
While on the Argo II on the way to Rome, Annabeth recalls her meeting with Athena prior to the beginning of the journey. Annabeth thought she saw her mother near Sweet on America where she was studying a map, wishing that Odysseus was there to aid her. Annabeth tried to talk to her, but she was in the form of Minerva and had no recollection of Annabeth as her daughter. She claimed that the Romans reduced her importance, but Annabeth states that Athena is not about revenge. As Minerva however, the goddess only seems to crave vengeance for how they disgraced her. When Annabeth asks for help on locating Percy, she says that since Percy has allied with the Romans, he should perish with them and then she hands Annabeth a coin. She then tells Annabeth to avenge her and to "follow the mark", before restating she needed to find the way home.
In Charleston, Aphrodite states that Athena was affected the most by the splitting of the Greek and Roman gods. Later, in the lair of Arachne, Annabeth states that Arachne was better than Athena in the weaving of tapestries and starts to doubt her mom's ability as several of Arachne's weavings are better than those of her mother. After trapping the spider in a Chinese finger-cuff that she got Arachne to weave, Annabeth gloats on how the arachnid had done a great service to Athena by protecting the Athena Parthenos, but Arachne decides to destroy her lair instead of seeing Annabeth win. Before the floor completely caves in, the Argo II blasts a whole in the ceiling and saves Annabeth as Arachne fell into the pit to Tartarus. They load the statue of Athena onto the Argo II, but Arachne managed to pull Annabeth and Percy into the pit using her thread that was still attached to Annabeth.
The House of Hades
Athena appears in Annabeth's dream while she is in Tartarus with Percy, telling her that she has done well in her quest to retrieve the Athena Parthenos. However, she also tells her that the statue has to be returned by the Romans at Camp Half Blood, in order to seal the rift between both camps.
The Blood of Olympus
When Reyna fights the giant Orion, her sheer bravery greatly impresses Athena, who gives her part of Aegis for her cloak. Aegis shields Reyna from a powerful blast and she is stunned when Athena speaks to her to tell her about giving her Aegis. During Reyna's subsequent attack on Orion, she can sense both Athena and Bellona supporting her, though neither appear in person to help. Instead, they give Reyna the strength she needs to kill Orion on her own. Reyna is able to use her Aegis-infused cloak to strangle Orion to death.
When Reyna, with the help of six pegasi finally manages to place the Athena Parthenos on Half-Blood Hill, golden light ripples across the ground, seeping warmth into the bones of both Greek and Roman demigods, and curing all of the Olympians (including Athena) of their split personalities. As a result, Athena promptly arrives in Athens to participate in the final battle with the Giants. She is dressed in golden full Greek battle armor and helps her daughter Annabeth slay Enceladus, after which Hades sends his body back to Tartarus. Athena's sanity is fully restored and no longer afflicted between her vengeful Roman counterpart, Minerva.
After the Giants' defeat, Athena is seen later rebuking the advancements of Hermes with her fearsome Aegis shield, and gives advice to the Olympian council (giving Jason a glance of approval) when the demigods are trying to decide on the best way to reach Camp Half-Blood in time to stop Gaea and the Romans from attacking. She watches as Zeus hurls the Argo II back to Camp Half-Blood.
Demigods & Magicians
The Staff of Serapis
When facing the god Serapis, Annabeth finds that Athena has removed all of her books from her backpack and left her a square of ambrosia and her magical Yankees cap instead. Annabeth is stunned as the cap hasn't worked since her argument with Minerva and realizes that if Athena herself is getting involved, Serapis must truly be a major threat. Using her restored cap, Annabeth and Sadie Kane are able to defeat Serapis and Annabeth interprets the return of her cap as a message from Athena that her days of using stealth to defeat an enemy aren't over yet and she will need it in the future.
As far as gods go, Athena can be very sympathetic, as shown in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods: once, Teiresias, a mortal man, saw her bathing naked. While Athena did blind him, she then sent snakes to protect him and gave him supernatural powers to see the future, among other things.
Athena is a very disciplined, quick thinking, and wise goddess. She is very brilliant and always takes precautions before acting, for obvious reasons. Percy notes in The Titan's Curse that Athena might be the worst enemy someone could make, even among the gods, as she would never give up or make a rash mistake simply because she hated you. She loves all of her demigod children, and seems to be a caring mother. For instance, Athena is the only known god who claims her children at birth. She gave her daughter Annabeth the gift of a cap that turns the wearer invisible. In one of Percy's dreams in The Battle of the Labyrinth, she is shown to have blessed both her son Daedelus and his young nephew Perdix.
She later punishes Daedalus for killing Perdix by branding him with a partridge (the mark of a murderer). She is later so impressed with Reyna in The Blood of Olympus, that she grants her part of her own Aegis and her strength in the battle with Orion despite Reyna being a daughter of Bellona and not Athena. Due to them having somewhat similar personalities and both being virgin goddesses, Athena gets along very well with Artemis and they often conduct conversations as a result. She doesn't get along well with Ares and Aphrodite, however, since Athena considers the former's violent and bloody version of combat tasteless, and considers the latter somewhat shallow and conceited.
Athena is also usually kind to other demigods. She often aids heroes on their quests, even helping Percy at one point while he was in the Hoover Dam. Athena is somewhat cold and calculating at times. She voted against letting Percy live in The Titan's Curse, because she did not want to risk him staying alive. Athena is also known for never giving up, and crossing her is a mistake. When Paris picked Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddess instead of her, Athena took the side of the Greeks in the Trojan War and used every power within her to bring him down. In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena is seen as a strict and proud goddess, as seen with her original conflict with Arachne.
Athena does, however, have a darker side, for example when she turned Medusa and her sisters into the fearsome Gorgons just to get back at Poseidon, who had committed provocative acts in Athena's temple with his lover. Also, despite her wisdom, Athena is capable of both vanity and vengeance, a good example of both being when she and Hera helped the Greeks' army take down the city of Troy after Paris had chosen Aphrodite over both of them in his trial of the fairest goddess. Another infamous example was when Athena vengefully cursed the flute that she had created in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods only because playing it grotesquely altered her facial features, which in turn induced her fellow goddesses to tease her.
In battle, Athena is a fierce, astute and extremely unpredictable warrior and a magnificent tactician. Despite her calm and reserved demeanour, she can become extremely intensely focused in a duel, shown when she spars with her friend Pallas so viciously that it was assumed that they were actually fighting to kill, provoking Zeus to intervene and leading to Pallas's brutal death. Percy also speculates that Athena would be an absolutely terrifying opponent and an impregnable force to be reckoned with - her wisdom, astuteness and superb capacity for calculation would mean that, if she made a plan to destroy an opponent, it would have no chance of failing. Because of this, she would become an even more dangerous and frightening opponent than Ares (A violent and warlike deity), Artemis (Who is one of the finest archers in Greek mythology) or even Poseidon (One of the Big Three, who has incalculable control over the ocean).
In Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena is described as wearing elegant flowing gray robes, Greek battle armor, and an Imperial Gold helmet on her head, which is decorated with pictures of gryphons, and sphinxes.
In Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes, Athena wears a long white sleeveless dress, and held a spear and rectangular shield in her hands, with both items "glowing with magic." According to Perseus, her face is beautiful, but also somewhat scary, the way a warrior goddess should look. And unlike any dull grey item on the Gray Sisters island, Athena's storm-grey eyes were bright and "full of fierce energy."
In The Sea of Monsters, Percy sees a Siren-induced image of Athena, and describes her as a beautiful woman with a strong resemblance to Annabeth, and though she was causally dressed (blue jeans, a denim shirt, and hiking boots), there was something about her that radiated power. Hence, he immediately recognised her for who she was.
In The Titan's Curse, Athena made her first appearance as a park ranger, with long black hair pulled back in a ponytail and tinted glasses. When she took off her glasses, Percy saw that she had startlingly grey eyes, like storm clouds. Later on, when Percy arrived on Olympus, Athena was described as a beautiful grey-eyed woman in an elegant white dress, and he immediately recognised her as Annabeth's mother. During their conversation, Percy again noted the resemblance between Athena and Annabeth, to the extent where he almost addressed Athena as Annabeth, and also realised through her cold grey stare that she would make a terrible enemy.
In The Blood of Olympus, while helping Annabeth battle Enceladus, Athena wears Imperial Gold armor over flowing white robes, while wielding a spear and bronze Aegis shield, with the fearsome visage of Medusa upon it. The Aegis can sometimes change shape into a glowing mantle, that glitters "as if woven through with filaments of Imperial Gold."
As a goddess, Athena could change her appearance at will, though she retains her stunning beauty and dignity no matter what physical manifestation she chooses. She was also viewed to be one of the most beautiful goddesses of all, given how she was perfectly capable of attracting male attention, but she employs her powers to do horrible things to them if they do not leave on her first warning. Because of this, Athena gets along with Artemis well, being seen having similar personalities and often conduct conversations.
- Main article: Minerva
Athena can change into her Roman counterpart of Minerva. Unlike the other gods, as Minerva she is less warlike and militaristic and is instead a goddess of crafts and wisdom.[1] She also remains a maiden goddess in this form, but re-frames from having any children at all, unlike Athena who is able to have "Brain Children." Because the Romans depicted Minerva as a more cerebral and demure goddess, she dislikes the Romans despite being a Roman god, as they took away all her military importance and stole her statue.
As a daughter of Zeus, Athena is an extremely powerful goddess:
- Prowess in Battle: As the Goddess of Battle, Athena is a superb warrior, and a complete master of both armed and hand-to-hand combat, but frequently uses her wisdom to overcome her opponents instead of sheer force. As revealed in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena learned all of her great combat skills from the nymphs of Lake Tritonis. As a result, Athena and her best friend Pallas would frequently engage in sparring matches, which were described as so intense, that Zeus finally intervened, worried for his daughter's safety. During the First Giant War, Athena was able to defeat the fire-breathing Enceladus (the most cunning Giant) with the help of Hercules, and later helped Annabeth defeat him again in The Blood of Olympus.
- Divine Wisdom: As the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena is extremely wise, intelligent, and knowledgeable, constantly coming up with brilliant strategies. Hence during the creation of Pandora in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena was the one to gift the girl with cleverness and curiosity. She was also able to see in The Last Olympian that Typhon was only a decoy in Kronos' plan to defeat the gods. However, she tends to measure the odds without taking her own or others feelings into account, leading to her voting to destroy Percy in The Titan's Curse (but she was out voted). This makes her come across as cold and callous, but it demonstrates how much she values wisdom. Due to her wisdom, she was the one Zeus trusted to check on the imprisoned Titans in Tartarus.
- Strategist: As the Goddess of Strategy, she is an exceptionally skilled tactician (greater than even Ares), since unlike him, Athena only uses violence as a last resort after thinking things through and planning for the long term before acting. Her genius-level intelligence makes her enormously cunning, but also makes her a frightening and supremely dangerous opponent in a fight. This is because, unlike Ares, she is not prone to outbursts of aggression or overconfidence and would not make a pathetic mistake because she hated her target or held emotional opinions - if she made a plan to destroy an enemy, that plan would never fail. Her father, Zeus, obviously admires and recognizes her incredible tactical skills, since he wouldn't let her leave the battle with Typhon because she was his best strategist.
- Crafts: As the Goddess of Crafts, Athena is an incredibly skilled craftswoman. However, she is best known for her skills in weaving, shown during her encounter with Arachne in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods. She would later teach weaving and crafts to Pandora. In Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes, Athena helped Jason by drawing up blueprints for the Argo, and would later carve the ship's magical prow herself.
- Telumkinesis: As the Goddess of Battle, Athena has great control over any weapon, much like Ares.
- Weapon Conjuration: She can conjure and use any weapon, though she prefers to use her spear and Aegis.
- Weapon Curses: She can curse weapons.
- Disarmament: She can disarm her opponents with a gesture.
- Weapon Omniscience: She knows everything about a weapon when she sees it.
- Granting Aegis Portions: In The Blood of Olympus, Athena, impressed by Reyna's sheer bravery, imbues the latter's cloak with the invulnerability of her own Aegis cloak, making it glitter with power.
- Shapeshifting: Athena can transform into an owl like in The Last Olympian. It is unknown if she can turn into other animals also. Athena also appeared as a park ranger at the Hoover Dam in The Titan's Curse. As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena can even transform herself into pure intelligence: after learning the skill from her mother Metis, Athena was able to use this ability to travel from Zeus' stomach into his head. Sha later transformed herself into an elderly woman when first approaching Arachne.
- Transfiguration: As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena has transformed Medusa, Euryale, and Stheno into the first Gorgons, Coronis into the first raven, Arachne into the first spider, and Perdix into a partridge.
- Inventions: While not quite as good at inventing things as her half-brothers Hermes and Hephaestus, Athena notably invented the first flute in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, which played so beautifully (due to it having been filled with Athena's divine breath), that it enabled the satyr Marsyas to hold his own in a musical competition with Apollo himself.
- Item Teleportation: Athena was able to teleport Annabeth's books out of her bag and replace them with her Yankees cap and a square of ambrosia.
- Curses: As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena can place horrible curses on objects, shown when she cursed a flute to give the worst fortune to the next person to play it, which ended up with the satyr Marsyas getting flayed alive by Apollo. She would also curse Teiresias with permanent blindness, and, as shown in The Battle of the Labyrinth, cursed her son Daedalus, branding him with the scarlet partridge-shaped mark of a murderer that would never fade.
- Control of Animals: Athena appears to have a high level of control over animals sacred to her, such as owls and serpents. As seen in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods she conjured up a magical serpent, which was intended to enhanced the godly qualities of her son Erikthonius. She would later have birds and snakes follow and lead Teiresias, while also granting him the ability to understand their speech.
- Amokinesis Immunity: As a virgin goddess, Athena is completely immune to Aphrodite's ability of arousing romantic love and passion in others, as well as Cupid's infamous romantic arrows. Instead, Athena's demigod children are conceived when her divine thoughts meet the mortal ingenuity of the men she favors, a love which she believes to be the of the purest kind, thereby making all of them "brain children".
Athena's attributes are her spear, and the olive tree, while owls and serpents are her sacred animals. She is also the patron goddess of Athens, which was named after her. As revealed in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Athena is usually referred to as "Athena Pallas", in honor of Pallas, her dear childhood friend. Athena's greatest statue (and the most famous Greek statue of all time) is the Athena Parthenos, which initially stood in the middle of the Athenian Parthenon, covered in ivory and gold. However, when Athens was conquered by the Romans, they stole it, so that Athena could no longer be a symbol of Greek military power. The Athena Parthenos itself is described as resembling Athena perfectly, and "even scarier than Arachne". Athena has a shield named aegis which is powerful against monsters. As shown with Reyna, just a piece of aegis is powerful enough to absorb an explosion that would've destroyed a yacht.
Although she is counted as a virgin goddess, Athena can conceive children by joining her mind with her lovers. This means the offspring are literally "brain children". It is believed that this ability of Athena's was influenced by the fact she came out of Zeus's brain in full battle armor.

Athena has shown to be the most active goddess, secretly protecting her children from monsters such as when Annabeth ran away, she protected Annabeth until she met Thalia and Luke.
- She gave Annabeth a cap of invisibility (a Yankees cap) though it lost its power in The Mark of Athena when she and Annabeth argued. She later restores it to Annabeth in a moment of need in the Staff of Serapis.
- Along with restoring Annabeth's Yankees cap, Athena left her a square of ambrosia for her fight against Serapis.
- She gave Daedalus and Perdix her blessing of wisdom.
- When Reyna proves herself, despite not being related, Athena is so impressed she grants her part of aegis to help her in the battle with Orion and is said to have lent Reyna her strength along with Bellona even though she didn't appear in person.
- According to Reyna, Athena would sometimes gift her chosen heroes with pieces of aegis.
The Lightning Thief
Athena is played by Melina Kanakaredes. She played a more major role than the other gods at Olympus, besides Zeus and Poseidon. She was seen talking to Zeus about the threat of war between the gods if the Master Bolt is not returned, trying to convince him that 'war is not the answer'. When peace is declared by Zeus, Annabeth says 'Hi, mom,' and Athena tells her that she is very proud of her.
While they were in the Parthenon, Percy sees 'Athena' written in Greek at the foot of her statue, and when he tells Annabeth, she wonders whether her mom really looks like the statue. Percy, in response, tells her 'We'll find out,' indicating that he is confident they will survive the quest and make it to Olympus.
Annabeth also mentions that her mother had been speaking to her telepathically to help her, similar to how Poseidon spoke to Percy, saying that even though she had not seen her, she still felt close to her mother.
The film version of Athena is less strict, and did not show any sign of not liking Poseidon or Percy (even though Annabeth claimed that their parents "hate each other"). She even states that "War is not the answer". This is perhaps a little paradoxical, as she is a goddess of war. However being the goddess of strategy, she knew that a war between the gods was not the answer and would only lead to unneeded sacrifice.
Melina Kankaredes did not return for The Sea of Monsters film.
- Pallas, one of the largest asteroids in the asteroid belt, is named after Pallas Athene Parthenos, one of Athena's alternative names.
- Her hair color is black in The Titan's Curse and blonde in The Sea of Monsters.
- Athena is one of only two current Olympians who is a virgin.
- She is the only Greek Virgin goddess who has children.
- Minerva, her Roman counterpart, is displayed on the medal of honor, the highest military decoration awarded by the United States Government.
- She highly dislikes Percy and Annabeth together because of the rivalry between Poseidon and her.
- In the series, Frederic Bartholdi designed the The Statue of Liberty as a representation of his mother, Athena.
- In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena never had any children except for Erichthonius, who like Athena's other children, was not born in the traditional sense.
- In some Greek myths, Athena was the goddess of magic. The Percy Jackson series contradicted this by making Daedalus her son as well.
- Much like Aphrodite, Athena's shapeshifting ability has been emphasized more than the other gods.
- In one Greek myth, instead of turning Arachne into a spider, Arachne hung herself, then Athena felt bad and turned her into a spider and brought her back to life in that body.
- In the series, Athena is described to have grey eyes. However, it is also her famous nickname, "Grey-eyed".
- The first letter of her name 'A' is the same as the first letter in her daughter Annabeth's name.
- As revealed in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods and The Blood of Olympus both Hermes and Hephaestus have unrequited feelings for Athena.
- Her Egyptian equivalents (in terms of attributes) is Seshat, Isis, Thoth, and Neith.
- Her Norse equivalent would be Freya or Nerthus

IKEA's Ode to 'The Shining' Will Scare Your Furniture Silly
IKEA's new ad, an homage to 'The Shining,' is even more frightening than the thought of trying to put together that bookcase you bought from the Swedish chain.
IKEA's new ad, an homage to 'The Shining,' is even more frightening than the thought of trying to put together that bookcase you bought from the Swedish chain.
The classic Halloween song 'Monster Mash' is getting a makeover.
Here's the mother of all Halloween costumes.
Have you decided what you're going to be for Halloween this year? No? Well, then you're in luck.
Chances are you've ever eaten an overpriced hamburger at an airport. Well, the 20-odd dollars you angrily coughed up for sustenance while trying to kill time during your layover in Phoenix seems like a bargain compared to this.
Inspire your creative process for Halloween this year by checking out these pictures of celebrity Halloween costumes! Just like us, singers like Miley Cyrus, the Wanted, Adam Lambert and Beyonce enjoy dressing up in Halloween costumes on Oct. 31, with their getups ranging from scary vampires to insanely hot super heroes.
It's always sad when a celebrity passes away, but sometimes these strong-willed, vibrant personalities live on long after they have shuffled off this mortal coil. Here are 10 famous folks reportedly still hanging around even though they were "no longer with us."
Now that Halloween is quickly approaching, why not grab a few friends and visit these 10 real-life locations that famous horror movies used in order to scare and thrill their audience? It's a good way to get some spine-tingling chills as you walk past these infamous sites without having to spend the money to visit a haunted house or go on a ghost tour.
Audiences got their first taste of the 'Friday the 13th' franchise, which is now 12 films strong, when the original horror flick hit theaters in 1980.
The tale of gruesome happenings at Camp Crystal Lake didn't do much for critics, but audiences ate up its grindhouse-style gore.
In 'The Monster Squad,' a gang of monster movie-obsessed adolescents end up waging an epic battle against the ghouls they idolized after they learn that Dracula, Frankenstein, et al. are real.
Few things are better than dressing up our pets. How can you resist a Michael Jackson puppy or an Avengers pug? Costumed pets are probably the best part of Halloween. But just because we love it doesn't mean they do. Especially cats. Who knew these little guys were such Halloween-haters? Check out these 15 cats hating on Halloween.
Ahhhh, 'Hocus Pocus' -- the story of three evil (singing and dancing) witches who like to eat children and sometimes also turn them into cats. They are temporarily resurrected by a kid trying to impress a lady, and then they make everyone dance, Dance, DANCE! Since this is a Disney movie, eventually the day is saved and they all lived happily ever after. But did the cast follow suit in real life? See what the stars of 'Hocus Pocus' are up to today.
From dogs dressed as Darth Vaderto Elvis kitties, we can't stop stuffing our four-legged friends into Halloween attire each October. Dog and cat costume parades are more popular than ever, and everyone from major pet supply companies like Petco to mom-and-pop Etsy dealers make a mint on adorable animal outfits. (Our pets, on the other hand, become more indignant with each passing fall).
Horror master Wes Craven's slasher film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' was a huge success with both audiences and critics in 1984. In fact, it was such a hit that it spawned multiple sequels, remakes and various television incarnations.
Halloween is on its way, and parties are bound to pop up. The only problem is that you don't have a costume. You could throw on a dirty old bedsheet, cut a few holes in it and tell people you're a beige ghost. Or you could actually be clever and in-tune with what's happening and hip (as the kids say) by going as viral video star the honey badger.

West Street reforestedJune 12,2014West Street
Volunteers planted 76 crab apple trees along West Street Wednesday.
The plantings are part of Green Mountain Powers Rutland Blooms project, which drew volunteers from Berkshire Bank, City of Rutland, Green Mountain Power, NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Stafford Technical Center, The Vermont Country Store, Vermont Council of Urban and Community Forestry and Wilk Paving.
The Village Snack Bar also supported the effort.
The trees were purchased with donations from Casellas, GMP, The Vermont Country Store and Rutland Regional Medical Center. They replaced scrub brush and nuisance trees along roughly 1,700 feet of the south side of the street. The site borders a rail siding, the citys winter snow dump and a recycling facility.
Other Rutland Blooms projects funded by donations from local businesses and individuals are being planned through the fall. The Vermont Teddy Bear Company will give a bear dressed as a gardener to the first 10 people to donate at least $250 to Rutland Blooms. Donations will be used to pay for plants, seeds, bulbs and planting materials for use in public community spaces.
Donations may be sent to United Way of Rutland County Rutland Blooms, 6 Church St., Rutland, VT 05701.MORE IN This Just InWindsor 3-2
