ATLANTA, Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Forget the sunscreen, magazines and guide books, new research released today by InterContinental® Hotels Group (IHG) reveals that of more than 10,000 travelers across 13 countries worldwide, the must-have item for a vacation is your smartphone.
According to the research by IHG® Rewards Club, nearly 40 percent of travelers agree that their smartphone is the most important item to take on vacation - and 67 percent agree that they will use it every single day. As a result, 1 in 10 travelers clock an impressive average of 70 hours online while on vacation - almost 20 percent of the actual time spent on a two-week vacation.
IHG® Rewards Club is the first and largest hotel loyalty programme in the world, with nearly 80 million members worldwide. IHG is one of the world's leading hotel companies, with over 4,700 hotels around the world and a family of nine trusted hotel brands.
IHG® Rewards Club members are IHG's most valued guests. In line with its aim of rewarding them for their loyalty, it surveyed more than 10,000 of its members worldwide in order to gain further insight into their relationships with their loyalty program and to learn more about their travel needs.
The survey found that the smartphone is fast replacing the traditional postcard with 64 percent of respondents saying they use it to text friends and another 32 percent to Skype friends and family back home, while on vacation. However, recounting vacation experiences with friends and family still remains one of the most enjoyable ways of sharing a vacation, with one in ten travelers saying this is as enjoyable as the vacation itself.
Planning a vacation is, nearly, half the fun - (45 percent) of all travelers say it is the best part of a vacation and more than a third (37 percent) spend over a day researching a vacation.
Susanna Freer-Epstein, Senior Vice President Customer Loyalty Marketing, IHG said:
"IHG is a brand and consumer driven company. We use insight to anticipate consumer trends and behavior. This research shows how mobile technology is revolutionizing the holiday experience – from enabling travelers to dream about and plan their holidays, to helping enjoy the trip itself and share their experiences with their friends and family."
The survey also uncovered that 42 percent of travelers check social media every day while on vacation, with 25 percent of them even saying they always check Facebook before going to sleep. Taking selfies is also increasingly becoming one of the most popular ways to share vacation experiences, with 25 percent of travelers surveyed saying they use their smartphones for vacation selfies.
As part of the global survey, IHG® Rewards Club has launched a digital hub at www.ihgrewardsclub.com/rewardingexperiences. It showcases the experiences available to nearly 80 million members worldwide – from a cultural experience at some of the world's most famous museums, to a special family celebration or a once in-a-lifetime relaxing spa experience. It includes reviews from members and global travelers from all around the world.
IHG® Rewards Club offers advantages that no other hotel company can match including; free guest Internet for all IHG® Rewards Club members worldwide, across the IHG brand family and no blackout dates on Reward Nights - a loyalty program purposefully designed to see the customer win.
Additionally, as of July 1st 2014, members earn more IHG® Rewards Club points when they stay at any of the 180 InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts worldwide. For every $1USD spent on qualifying revenue during stays, such as food and beverage, these members will now earn ten IHG® Rewards Club points.
Visit www.ihgrewardsclub.com/rewardingexperiences to learn more about IHG® Rewards Club rewards and experiences and to reveal your traveller type.
The top ten uses of smartphones by vacation makers are:
- Checking work emails – 68%
- Navigation / Maps – 67%
- Texting – 64%
- Taking vacation photos – 51%
- Making calls – 42%
- Snapping pictures of meals – 35%

Court Finds Navajos Were Underpaid for Land Use

LanOC V13 Recap

- Written by garfi3ld
It's been a few days now and not only have I set all of the PCs around the house back up, I also took the time to do detail cleaning around my desk. Even after a few days I feel little tired, an impromptu nap that went until 3pm yesterday helped some but it's going to be a little while before I'm back to normal. All of it means we had another successful LAN. Of course the work doesn't stop on Sunday for me, but before I get too far into it I wanted to post up a little bit of a roundup. Read on to hear more about it.

Special Report: What is the Greek Debt Crisis, and What Does it Mean for Investors?
With Greece on the brink of default - and hanging over the global economy like a financial sword of Damocles - investors the world over are asking themselves the very same question, day after day: Just what is the Greek debt crisis , and what does it mean to me? It means a lot. In fact, the Greek debt crisis could prove to be the first in a series of sovereign-debt defaults that could even infect the U.S. economy, tipping it into a "double-dip" recession and reprising the bear market of 2009. In short, this crisis is one you need to watch and understand. Given the stakes, we decided to work with our panel of global-investing experts and put together this Money Morning special report: "What is the Greek Debt Crisis, and What Does it Mean for Investors?" Our goal was to provide you with answers to some of the key questions about the Greek debt crisis - how it started, what's actually taking place, how it could affect the U.S. economy, and how we expect it to play out. And with the help of experts Keith Fitz-Gerald , Shah Gilani and Martin Hutchinson , we also answer the most important debt-crisis question of all: "What should you do about it?"

SE Louisiana swamped in 62-10 loss to Missouri
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — This week has hardly been fair for Southeastern Louisiana.
Hurricane Isaac dumped more than 16 inches of rain on its campus, and the storm's remnants greeted the football team as it played Missouri on Saturday. The game was no picnic, either.
Southeastern Louisiana turned the ball over four times, with two returned for touchdowns, and gave up two punt returns for scores en route to a 62-10 loss.
"Whoo. That was a tough one," first-year coach Ron Roberts said. "The biggest thing, I think, was we made a lot of crucial, crucial mistakes. I don't care who we're playing, you do those things, (they're) going to put points on the board and you're going to get beat."
It was a rude welcome to the FCS for Roberts, who coached Division II Delta State University to four Gulf South Conference championships and a 47-16 record the past five seasons.
And while the rest of the teams Southeastern Louisiana faces this season may not match up to Missouri, there's still lessons to be learned from playing the Tigers, Roberts said.
"The inconsistencies stick out like a sore thumb," he said. "You can play someone else and not look as bad."
Kendial Lawrence ran for a 76-yard TD and totaled 121 yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns for the Tigers, who led 28-0 after running just 12 plays in their tuneup for next week's SEC debut against No. 6 Georgia. They then stalled for nearly two quarters before turning it back on.
Marcus Murphy, a 5-foot-9, 185-pound sophomore tailback, matched a 47-year-old school record with two scoring returns and totaled 180 yards on five punt returns. He added 32 yards on five carries.
Nathan Stanley threw a late 21-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Smiley for Southeastern Louisiana, which since resuming football in 2003 is just 8-45 on the road, including 13 consecutive losses. The Lions were picked to in the middle of the pack of the FCS Southland Conference under Roberts.
Roberts said his team could have been more emotional this week and not focused as much on Saturday's game due to the hurricane, but that it was no excuse.
"It was a big distraction," Stanley said. "We lost a day of practice. But to me, that's just another excuse. We've got to come out more focused. 62-10 is not acceptable, regardless of how many practices you get. We've got to clean up a lot of things up and get back to work."
Paid attendance of 62,173, the vast majority clad in yellow ponchos, was about 8,000 shy of a sellout. Still, that was an attendance record for Southeastern Louisiana, which plays its home opener against Savannah State next week.
"Some guys may have been nervous," said sophomore defensive back Marice Sutton, who led the Lions with 10 tackles. "But no excuses. It's a game of football. Everybody puts their cleats on the same way."
Heralded freshman Dorian Green-Beckham had a 29-yard sideline catch in the third quarter for Missouri, which has won five in a row dating to last season's strong finish in its Big 12 swan song. The Tigers have won their last 12 openers.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel left his starters in until late in the third quarter, no doubt displeased after a 207-yard first quarter was followed by 53 yards, two personal fouls and no points in the second. Stanley was 11 for 13 for 99 yards to end the half, and Southeastern Louisiana capitalized on a facemask call against Kony Ealy to snap the shutout on Seth Sebastian's 31-yard field goal to end the half.
The two-TD game was the first for the Missouri defense since 2006 at Texas Tech.
Zaviar Gooden skirted the sideline on a 20-yard interception return on Southeastern Louisiana's second snap to make it 14-0, also giving him a pick in three straight games. Ealy's sack and forced fumble of Stanley set up an easy 7-yard fumble recovery and score for Michael Sam that made it 28-0 with 7:19 to go in the first quarter.
Missouri backup QB Corbin Berkstresser threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jimmie Hunt and ran for a 1-yard score after replacing James Franklin late in the third quarter.
The only other time Missouri had two scoring returns in a game was in 1965, when Johnny Roland returned a punt and Ray Thorpe a kickoff in a 14-14 tie against UCLA.

I realized the other day that most common lisp had 128-bit "long-floats". As a result, the most positive long float is:
8.8080652584198167656 * 10^646456992
while the most positive double float is
1.7976931348623157 * 10^308, which is pretty big already.
I wanted to know whether anyone had ever needed a number bigger than
1.7976931348623157 * 10^308, and if so, in which condition?
Do you feel it is useful to have by default in a programming language?
Is the precision of a 64-bit double float not enough in some circumstances? I would love to hear use-cases.

This invention relates to circuit interruption in electrical capacitors.
Deterioration of a capacitor typically generates gasses that increase the internal presure within the sealed capacitor case, eventually causing rupture and leakage of the liquid dielectric. Pressure sensitive interrupters are sometimes used within the capacitor case to prevent rupture by breaking the electrical connection to the capacitive element in response to the internal pressure, thus stopping the gas buildup.
Published European patent application 0-093-455-A2 shows an interrupter in which the capacitor has terminals attached to a central disk that is part of the plastic can cover. The central disk is connected to the peripheral rim of the cover by an intermediate deformable "annular wall portion or web of reduced wall thickness" that permits the central disk to move away from the can in response to internal pressure. The capacitive element is held down by a rim around the inside of the plastic can so that as the central disk moves upward it eventually breaks the metal conductors that connect the terminals to the capacitive element.
Sometimes, after a pressure sensitive interrupter has broken the electrical connections, the internal pressure drops and the cover and terminals settle back to their original positions where electrical reconnection or arcing may occur.
A general feature of the invention is a capacitor in which the interruption mechanism includes an actuator that moves in response to a predetermined physical condition within the capacitor to cause electrical disconnection, and in which the actuator has a range of motion through a limited number of stable positions and is mechanically pre-biased to move toward one of the stable positions when not already in one of the stable positions.
Preferred embodiments of the invention include the following features. The physical condition is internal gas pressure within the capacitor, and the actuator moves in response to the pressure. The actuator comprises a portion of a wall (e.g., the lid) of the housing; the actuator is attached to the housing by a support having at least one rigid section connected to the wall portion and the housing by hinge regions. The wall portion is a disk, the support is a rigid annular rim, and the hinge regions are flexible annular rings. In some embodiments, there is one rigid section, two hinge regions, and two stable positions. In other embodiments, there are two rigid sections interconnected by a hinge region, and three stable positions. In other embodiments, there is an annular rim that is thinner than the wall portion. The capacitor terminals are mounted on the actuator. The electrical connections include conductors between the terminals and the capacitive element and the interruption mechanism further comprises means for retaining each conductor in a fixed position relative to motion of the actuator. The capacitive element includes a core that is ultrasonically welded to the inside of the housing. In other embodiments, a panel is interposed between the capacitive element and the terminals. The housing is plastic and includes a lid on which the actuator is located. The actuator is polypropylene. The capacitor element includes a dielectric impregnant (i.e., a blend of polybutene and polyethylene) having a drop point that is above the normal operating temperature of the capacitor, and is below a temperature that would occur following failure of the capacitor winding. In other embodiments, there is a liquid dielectric impregnant (e.g., polybutene) that is compatible with the plastic of the housing.
Another general feature of the invention is a capacitor in which the terminals are mounted on and project from the housing and the housing includes a rim that surrounds the terminals and is filled with a dielectric material that insulates the terminals.
The capacitive element is quickly and effectively disconnected when pressure builds up. The actuator pops up to aid in the disconnection and stably remains in its popped up position to reduce the chance of reconnection. The entire capacitor is easily made. Mounting the terminals on the actuator assures positive motion of terminals away from the capacitive element. When the terminals are fully insulated, the capacitor can be used safely in tight quarters.
Other advantages and features will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiment and from the claims.
We first briefly describe the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a capacitor.
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic sectional side view at 2--2 of the capacitor of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional side view, broken away, along 2--2 of the capacitor of claim 1.
FIG. 4 is a sectional side view of a fragment near the bottom of the capacitor case of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a partial top view of the floor of the capacitor case of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 6, 7 are sectional side view and plan view respectively of the capactive element core of FIG. 3.
FIG. 8 is a view like FIG. 3 after disconnection.
FIGS. 9A, 9B, 9C are a sequence of sectional side views of a fragment of the capacitor lid of FIG. 1, showing three discrete positions of a lid using an alternative hinge arrangement.
FIG. 10 is a sectional side view of one-half of an alternative embodiment to FIG. 3.
FIG. 11 is a sectional side view of a portion of an alternative capacitor cover.
FIG. 12 is a sectional side view of a portion of an alternative capacitive element core.
FIGS. 13, 14 are isometric and sectional side views of an alternative capacitor cover.
Referring to FIG. 1, a capacitor 10 includes a capacitor roll 12 inside an injection molded round polypropylene plastic case 14 having an injection molded polypropylene cover 16 (made, e.g., from polypropylene product no. PP-402 available from Monmouth Plastics, or Polyflam RPP 1058 available from A. Schulman) in which two terminals 18, 20 are mounted. Case 14 has a segmented outer rim at the top end for mounting the capacitor.
Referring to FIG. 2, terminal 20 is electrically connected (in a conventional manner) to the top of capacitor roll 12 via an uninsulated tinned copper or tinned copperweld wire 30; terminal 18 is electrically connected (also in a conventional manner) to the bottom of roll 12 via an insulated wire 32 which passes through a hollow polypropylene capacitor core 34 or around the outside of the capacitive element. Capacitor roll 12 is surrounded by and embedded in a dielectric material 36.
Referring to FIG. 3, terminals 18, 20 are of eyelet design and include tubular portions 40 inserted through access holes 42 in a rigid central disk section 44 of cover 16. The ends 46 of tubular portion 40 are bent back against the underside of disk 44 to hold terminals 18, 20 in place.
Wire 30 is pulled taut and attached to terminal 20 by solder 50 and includes a carefully machined nick 51 by which the amount of tension (e.g., 15 lbs) needed to sever the wire can be carefully controlled. Insulated wire 32 is stripped to expose an uninsulated tinned copper conductor (which may also be nicked) that is similarly pulled taut and attached to terminal 18 by solder 52. If wire 32 is not nicked, it is not pulled taut, but is left with slack to allow cover 16 to move and break the nick in wire 30.
In addition to central disk 44, cover 16 includes a rigid L-shaped (in cross-section) peripheral portion 56 ultrasonically welded to the inner wall of case 14. A panel 54 on cover 16 forms an insulative barrier between terminals 18 and 20. A hinged portion 58 connects peripheral portion 56 and central disk 44. Hinged portion 58 is ring-shaped, disposed at an angle of preferably 30°-45° (a) with respect to the vertical, and includes a rigid part 59.
Extending around the outer edge of rigid part 59 (where it joins peripheral portion 56) and around the inner edge of part 59 (where it joins central disk 44) are interior grooves 60, 62 and exterior grooves 66, 68.
Grooves 60, 62, 66, 68 are arranged in pairs with the interior groove and the exterior groove of each pair, e.g., 60, 66, vertically aligned, thus defining two flexible annular rings (hinge regions) 71, 73 which bend when the internal pressure in the can rises.
In one example, central disk 44 is 0.062" thick, part 59 is 0.044" thick, and grooves 60, 62, 66, 68 have typical radii of 0.031". The centers of radius of grooves 60, 62, 66, 68 lie at the intersections of planes that extend from the upper and lower surfaces of part 59, central disk 44, and peripheral portion 56.
Referring to FIG. 4, capacitor 10 includes equally spaced vertical ribs 70 along inside wall 72 of case 14 and an ultrasonic energy directing grid 74 molded into the bottom 76 of case 14.
Referring to FIG. 5, ribs 72 extend 0.02 inches into case 14 and are spaced 15° apart about the central axis of case 14. Grid 74 is 0.75 inches in diameter and is concentric with the bottom of case 14. Grid 74 includes upwardly extending peaks 80 and recessed rectangular regions 82.
Referring to FIG. 6, 7, the lower section of core 34 includes hexagonal bore 90 and circular bore 92. Energy directing flange 94 extends around the bottom of core 34, and, when placed in case 14, contacts the top of peaks 80 of grid 74 at a limited number of sharply defined contact points at which ultrasonic welding can be accomplished.
Dielectric material 36 may be liquid polybutene as described in copending patent application, U.S. Ser. No. 762,542, filed Aug. 2, 1985, assigned to the same assignee as this application, and incorporated herein by reference. Polybutene has an advantage of not attacking the polypropylene material of case 14.
Alternatively, the capacitor may be formed as a "dry" capacitor by substituting a waxlike blend for dielectric material 36. For example, the blend can be a mixture of polyethylene and polybutene chosen to be non-liquid at normal operating temperatures. As the capacitor begins to fail, the resulting temperature rise causes softening of the mixture, allowing gas to escape to the upper part of the interior of the capacitor case, to trigger operation of the disconnection mechanism. Additional details concerning the blend are set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,787,010 issued to Bentley Impregnation and Encapsulating Material, filed on the same day as this application, assigned to the same assignee, and incorporated herein by reference.
Terminals 18, 20 are mounted on cover 16 by inserting unbent tubular portions 40 through access holes 42 and bending ends 46 of portions 40 back against the underside of disk 44.
Roll 12 and hollow core 34 are fixed inside case 14 by ultrasonically welding the flange 94 of core 34 to the peaks 80 of grid 74. The sharp lower edge of flange 94 and the sharp upper edges of peaks 80 serve to direct the ultrasonic energy to the contact points between peaks 80 and flange 94, creating a strong weld.
Next, roll 12 and core 34 are encased in material 36.
Cover 16 is then placed into the top of case 14 and wires 30, 32, previously connected to roll 12, are fed up through tubular portions 40. Peripheral portion 56 is ultrasonically welded to case 14. Finally, wires 30, 32 are pulled taut and soldered into place.
Referring to FIG. 3, when the internal pressure inside case 14 increases, an outward force is exerted on central disk 44 (in the direction indicated by arrow 100.)
Eventually the internal pressure becomes large enough to cause central disk 44 to pop outward to occupy a second stable position as shown in FIG. 8.
As disk 44 moves to its new position, it pulls on wire 30, causing it to break at nick 51. Wire 32 may also break if taut and nicked. This halts the flow of electric current through roll 12 and in turn the generation of gasses and the building of increased internal pressure. Rupture of case 14 is thus prevented.
The effect of the design is to provide an actuator that has two stable positions, and is pre-biased to move toward one or the other stable position when not already in one of the stable positions. Thus, as the central disk 44 rises under pressure it reaches a point in its travel where it pops up to its upper position thus aiding rapid and complete disconnect. Once in the upper position the central disk resists downward movement except under a force that exceeds the pre-bias force.
Other embodiments are within the following claims.
For example, referring to FIG. 9A, hinged portion 200 could include three (or more) interior grooves 202, 204, 206 and three (or more) exterior grooves 208, 210, 212. Referring to FIG. 9B, as central disk 214 moves outward portion 200 may bend first at grooves 204, 210, 206, 212 to form a V-shape. Referring to FIG. 9C, as disk 214 continues to move outward additional force on portion 200 causes it to bend at grooves 202, 208. Eventually disk 214 reaches the final position shown in FIG. 9C and portion 200 is once again fully extended.
Referring to FIG. 10, in other embodiments, terminal 318 may be electrically connected to capacitor roll 312 via tinned steel terminal rivets 330 spot welded to tinned copper tabs 332. Terminals 318 are mounted on cover 316 by inserting rivets 330 through cover 316 and welding terminals 318 to rivets 330 while applying a clamping force between rivet shoulders 338 and terminals 318. Rivet tips 340 are then inserted through holes 342 in panel 344. Tabs 332 (previously connected to capacitor rolls 312) are spot welded to tips 340. Panel 344 and cover 316 are ultrasonically welded to the inner wall of case 314. As central disk 336 moves outward terminals 318 and rivets 330 also move outward causing an outward force to be exerted on foil tabs 332 and on the welds connecting tabs 332 to rivet tips 340. Tabs 332 are drawn outward until they come in contact with interrupter panel 344. As central disk 336 continues outward, the force exerted on the welds between tips 340 and tabs 332 causes tabs 332 to tear away from tips 340. This breaks the electrical connection between terminals 318 and capacitor roll 312. In the embodiment of FIG. 10, it is not necessary to attach the capacitor roll to the bottom of the case since panel 344 will prevent roll 312 from rising.
The dimensions of the central disk 44 (actuator), part 59, and grooves 60, 62, 68 can be varied to change the flexibility of the hinges and thus control the dynamic characteristics of the interruption mechanism.
When the dielectric impregnant is liquid, other impregnants can be substituted for polybutene, e.g., dioctyl phthalate (DOP), caster oil, or mineral oil, provided that it is not a liquid that will attack the capacitor case.
Other materials can be used for case 14 and core 34 provided that they are chosen from the same organic polymer family to permit ultrasonic welding. More than two terminals could be used. The externally exposed parts of the terminal could be encased in an insulator.
Referring to FIG. 11, hinged portion 58 may simply be a thinned down region 400 without grooves defining separate hinge regions.
Referring to FIG. 12, the capacitive element core may be formed by countersinking 402 the end of the core.
Referring to FIGS. 13, 14, cover 16 may include an annular rim 404 that rises above the level of terminals 406. Wires 408 are attached to terminals 406, and passed through ports 410. Then the space within rim 404 is potted with a dielectric resin material 412, thus eliminating all exposed conductive elements. Such a capacitor is especially useful in close quarters to prevent unintentional contacts, e.g., in HID type lamp ballasts.
Other materials can be used for the cover provided that they have appropriate Physical, thermal, and electrical properties to provide the required mechanical operating features and also to satisfy the requirements of the particular application.

I promised Painlord a blog post.. mostly about my thoughts on GenCon va. PaizoCon.
Firstly, I was so surprised to run into Painlord at Scotty's on Thursday. Since coming to GenCon was a literally a last minute con from Mike Brock at PaizoCon, I hadn't planned to be here long term. I can also say that since I am off summers I tend to do a lot of traveling and going to conventions. When I arrived on Wednesday there was a huge cluster regarding our room... in which we didn't have one. By the time I'd actually gotten to the hotel there was a room... a single king-sized bed in a small room for 4 adults. I was definitely not okay with this and very nearly said F-it and spent the weekend with my in-laws, I stuck through it though and by the time my room-mates arrived the front desk had called. I simply explained that the room was not okay at all and was not going to work. They upgraded us to a suite, which at least had two beds. So that made things moderately better.
Some thoughts, for pure PFS/PF things I would say that I genuinely prefer PaizoCon. Paizo has more control over than venue, the technicalities, and advertising than they do at GenCon. There are more players at GenCon, but more doesn't always equal better. For something as large as GenCon I would love to see more 'trial' games like the Goblin Invasion and Quests - GenCon is big with a lot of stuff going on, spending 4-5 hours on a single slot can sometimes feel like a waste of the convention time. I know that there are some veteran players that go to play, so for sure I'm not saying do away with everything, but I would like to see more balance in how PFS/Paizo is attracting new players at GenCon. Sadly I also noticed a lot of players and even GM's bashing new players and pregens when I was walking around. This is definitely one of my pet peeves when working with new players... there is no quicker way to make people feel less welcome than constant negativity. Perhaps because this is my first GenCon I misunderstood what the point of the con was (to draw in new players).
PaizoCon also allows for that intimacy with the nature of Pathfinder, especially the most recent year with the change in slots it was nice to be able to take things at the pace it was needed. Which isn't to say that GM's are always great.. I had a terrible GM for my Sunday Night special at PaizoCon (he was also at GenCon so I'm glad I wasn't playing). Slots at GenCon were pretty much back to back and were exhausting. I worked HQ almost the entire time and there was plenty to do. I've been reading through the Feedback thread and some of the feedback is very interesting.
I did not see nearly as many familiar faces as I thought I would. Some of the familiar faces were ones I recognized from previous PaizoCons (I've been to the last 5). This was my first GenCon, GenCon while very interesting as a convention wasn't as fun as Origin's was in terms of playing new games and having the opportunity to do so. I didn't have as much time to wander and explore GenCon as I would have liked so that may be something that is available, but that I didn't get to experience. I wished that I had exchanged my Core table tickets for PACG tickets - when I realized that pretty much no Core tables were going off (I only brought paperwork for my core character) I could have spent time doing something else on the slots I had off. So I skipped out on the two tables I purchased tickets for ... one because I slept in both times (see exhaustion above) and two, because while I don't mind pre-gens I had specific characters I'd rather play those scenarios with (Darkest Abduction and Out of Anarchy).
I did enjoy working with the HQ staff, though I would prefer a better adherence to the schedule we were given. Sometimes it was hard to know what to plan for when I showed up for my slots.
Final thoughts, if making a choice I would pick PaizoCon hands down, I preferred that pathfinder experience to the one at GenCon. For gaming I would pick Origins. For people watching I'm going to continue to keep with San Diego Comic Con. Gencon seems to want to be a lot of things and as such with the growth in commercialization I think it loses some of it's accessibility (so does SDCC; by a lot) to new gamers that want to try new things. I also tend to prefer conventions that are not pay to play. That was something I disliked about Origins and GenCon. Frankly, when I have a crappy experience at PaizoCon I know at least I didn't shell out $6 or $10 for the experience ontop of my badge and other fees.
I will also say that my experience got off on the wrong foot since we didn't have a room and then got different room-mates than planned since June. Nick Greene and Mizkitty were great and I am so glad we got them as roommates, but that definitely didn't begin the con on a positive note. I also realized as I got home that my copy of Occult Adventures ended up sprouting legs from our hotel room and walking away (I didn't want the book... but still a =/ moment).
Some highlights -
I loved working with the HQ staff, they were really great and it was awesome to get to know people within the area. I have a super severe anxiety disorder so if I came off as snobby, it wasn't the intention.
I enjoyed seeing the specials from the other side as it were. I played 2 of the 4 at PaizoCon and at some point TOZ will run the Kobold adventure for me and friends. I don't know when I'll do the Season 7 opener, but I'm sure it will be just as fun.
I met a ton of nifty people and I would have loved to chat more but I felt super awkward (see anxiety disorder above). I'm generally open to talking to people about just about anything.
Seeing Chris Hayes table (3d Terrain... all my <3 there) and Thursty's table was such a blast. I seriously couldn't contain my laughter.
I know I'll be at PaizoCon this coming year, Phoenix Comic Con, and San Diego Comic Con. I'd like to try GenCon again, but that depends on my work schedule and contract.
