There are many ways to take pictures, not all wrong but there are ways to get the best from your subject. For the photographer, even just an amateur, lighting and angles can make a difference in the photograph. Sometimes just adjust the angle of the camera/phone can make a difference in getting the best from the subject.

For the cosplayer there are ways to take a good picture when you may not have anything to pose with such as a background. Knowing your surroundings and whats in hand can make a difference to a good photo. (An interactive panel)

Go to jail and you could lose them to other players while you are incarcerated!

But it's not all bad! Every player starts the game with property. You could spend a few turns on welfare or win the Lottery and take all the money that ''The Man'' has collected in the center of the board! Still losing? Marry for money.

We've all seen them. Bad vintage sci-fi films that have expired into the public domain; or pretty much started out there to begin with. Films so non-mainstream that they leave a lasting impression with you. So bad in fact that the only way you can reconcile having watched them is to force your best friend to sit through it, too! (Even if it means having to see it again, yourself.) At All-Con we're pleased to bring you not just one, but two such films back-to-back. One is a returning favorite, previously banned from All-Con due to how difficult it is to sit through without 20 of your closest friends, and the other is a brand new (old) find for 2013. When midnight rolls around and you just aren't ready to end your day, this is the place to be.

The third time's a charm! Or so JediCole hopes as he pits his Ever-Ticking Brain against contestants once again and tries to defend the Prize Pile. The Prize Pile is a huge assortment of prizes (collectibles, comic book trade paperbacks, games, toys, and assorted fun things) that are offered as the all or nothing goal of this show's contestants.

In the first round Cole acts as host as three contestants answer trivia questions in unique categories and try to keep the top scores. In the second round one contestant is eliminated and replaced by the host! From that moment forward JediCole has no prior knowledge of the questions asked as he competes to eliminate a second contestant for the final round. The last contestant standing then goes head to head with the host answering the same 10 questions in 60 seconds!

If the finalist answers more questions correctly he or she takes home the WHOLE Prize Pile! If Cole is triumphant (as he has been in the first two years in a row), all of the prizes remain in his possession , but fear not! Every last prize will be given away before the end of the All-Con weekend! Just because JediCole is defending the Prize Piled does not mean he wants to take it home. This is the last time Prize Pile will be produced at All-Con so don't miss out!

Science fiction has served as a speculative vehicle for evaluating and understanding the world in which we live. It is a type of fiction that is deeply rooted in the mythology of man. Since the early beginnings of story telling, man has utilized speculative fiction to not only make sense of the world, but to hypothesize about the future based on the present. In this sense, science fiction can be said to represent a type of mythological narrative that serves as both cultural mirror and cultural teacher. It is a timeless cultural phenomenon that can be used as a valuable teaching tool across disciplines in order to inspire unbiased critical thinking and discussion about concepts in literature, science, and social science. This discussion explores the many ways in which science fiction can be utilized to develop or enhance any course in the sciences and social sciences and will include real course examples of each.

Go to jail and you could lose them to other players while you are incarcerated!

Cultural symbolism of Gotham City and Metropolis. Though fictitious, both Gotham City and Metropolis are representative of deeper cultural themes. Their primary significance can be seen through their respective representations of the social issues that exist in the urban environment. The term Gotham also has cultural ties to England which can be seen through the same comic representation. Both Metropolis and Gotham City also hold cross cultural significance with respect to contemporary urban culture and its evolutionary history. Through this exploration of a contrast between urban visions of darkness and utopia, political and economic themes of urban life are illuminated. Both Gotham City and Metropolis clearly offer insight into the evolution of urban culture. Using a cross cultural perspective, the origins and continued evolution of urban culture are explored with respect to the origins and continued evolution of Gotham City and Metropolis.

The X-Men comics justify the use of the comics medium as a viable means of social communication. It is evident that the X-Men comics vividly address a number of social issues that are alive and well in contemporary culture. This is perhaps one of the primary reasons for the success of this series. Individuals turn to comics as not only a form of entertainment or escapism, but perhaps more importantly for the lessons and hope that can be gleaned from them. X-men offers insight into contemporary cultural issues such as racism, anti-Semitism, and genocide. Characters act in a metaphorical sense as they illuminate the power and necessity of the individual in a culture. The concepts of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism resonate throughout the exploration of such themes as diversity, individualism, religion and the concept of a subculture. Examination of the X-Men comics reveals the power of this futuristic mythos and how it acts as both a mirror and guide to contemporary culture.

Firefly documents the tale of the birth of a subculture based on those marginalized from mainstream society following their losses in major conflict. Having attained cult status, Firefly is an ideal cultural mirror, and cultural teacher. It truly can be classified as participatory, progressive, myth. Firefly is an anthropological dream in how it utilizes the human past and present to tell the story of humanity in the future. Discussion focuses on Firefly as both a cultural mirror and teacher, as well as differentiating between morals and ethics and how each relates to localized and globalized cultural arenas, as well as to the larger global political landscape.

Also included is a discussion on the subculture of fandom that Firefly has spawned.
