Keep up the great work Pat!
Looking forward to helping out!
First, the good news:
DisneyWorldTrivia.com is pleased to announce that the Dream Team Project Auction will be returning to Fred Block's Magic Meets Disney Fan Gathering, on July 19, 2008 at Camp Hill, PA.
Last year, this auction raised $9,000 for the Make-A-Wish® Foundation of America! And this year is already shaping up to be even better!!
I'll be posting very soon about ways you can help us brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families.
But, it has been brought to my attention that some emails that have been sent to me have not reached me. If you have sent me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com regarding the auction and I have not replied, I apologize, and I have not received your message. Please contact me here via Private Message if you haven't heard from me in 24 hours.
Again, sorry for any inconvenience.
Stay tuned for more information on the auction!!
Thank you!

Keep up the great work Pat!
Looking forward to helping out!
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
It's a Disney thing. If you understood, your only question would be "can I go?"
FOR MORE INFO CLICK THIS LINK http://inside.unicefusa.org/goto/Meghyn
I've already been hard at work on my cards! So glad you guys are doing this again it's such a wonderful thing!
That's great news! I'll have to start looking for some interesting items to send.
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
Pat and her team have already been working hard behind the scenes since... well... since the day after LAST year's Magic Meets, and I can't thank all of you enough for all of your help. I'm looking forward to the fun and excitement (yes, Pat, I'll leave out "stress") of this year's auction, seeing the great donations, and of course, seeing all of you there!!!

I don't think I could ever imagine the time and effort that goes into planning this one event. Plus the additional pressure of the raising of the bar each year to raise more money for the kids
I'll have some donations definitely! However, I won't be there at Magic Meets this year so probably no meet for me! Unless an attendee helps me out! :-)

As someone who is new to both these forums and MouseMeets, I don't know much about the auction. Can someone tell me a little more about it? What kind of donations are accepted? Is there a list of auctioned items from last year?
Thanks so much for any help!
Hi Anna, to DWT!
The info from last year's auction may be found here: http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/200...m-auction.html
There is a link to the preview thread on that page, which shows almost all the items that were auctioned off.
We'll be announcing a "Wish List" of items to donate soon, but if you have any questions you can PM me here.

Here is a link (http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/Dre...m-Project.html) to the page that has all the info on the Dream Team Project. We raise money to go to the Make-a-wish foundation. To date we have raised about $17,400. (this includes last year's auction)
Here is what we auctioned off last year...
If you have an item in mind that you would like to donate please contact disneydame2004 (email@example.com) and she can help you out!
Welcome to DWT!
LOL Pat...Great minds!
Actually, we've raised much more than that $17,400 for seriously ill children. That's just how much has gone to Make-A-Wish. There was enough raised before that to send 3 children to WDW through the Starlight Starbright Foundation.

I've got the GF3, it's a good camera but he flash is super weak if you are thinking you'll use it with that ability. If this is the power-zoom lens, definitely sell that and pick up either the original 14-42 or just go for the 20mm and be happy.
If size is not a concern, I'd rather get the G3 kit for $300 from BH (not sure if they have it at tihs price anymore). It's a bit bigger but much more featured. They also have the G3 body for $250 and a used body for $200. Here's the size comparison
http://www.imaging-resource.com/P...FRNT-S.JPG |
I had this camera and returned it.
If you want interchangeable lenses then why do you want a "dumbed down" body without viewfinder or hot shoe? If I want compact then I also want pocketable like RX100 or nearly pocketable like LX7. I also didn't like the touch screen. Touchscreens are OK for phones but not for cameras. I don't want a fingerprint smeared screen on a camera!! I think this camera fits a real strange niche market. |
Panasonic and Olympus lenses are interchangeable since they are both m4/3 (though Panasonic uses lense stabilization while Olympus uses body stabilization, IIRC). You can buy other lenses for any of these systems and use an adapter but you won't be able to use things like auto-focus and power zoom on them. |
"We have got to eliminate the White Man, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him." ~ Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas. "...nothing from that first day I saw her, and no one that has happened to me since, has ever been as frightening and as confusing. For no person I've ever known has ever done more to make me feel more sure, more insecure, more important, and less significant..." www.AmericanJus |
If the only reason you're withholding a purchase of a good deal is 5% negative feedback, it's just silly. I mean you have every right to, but it's silly. |
Not to kill the party, but I have owned 2 versions of the GF- series cameras which I bought thinking they are convenient over SLR and pocketable etc, but I realized I have been fooling myself . Neither they are pocketable nor convenient. I would rather carry a SLR which I have or get a PS like RX100. Finally got a RX100 and happy.
G3 has the advantage of Viewfinder additionally. But I'll wait to see a good deal on GH3 panny. |
I have no doubt that these would product excellent image quality, but you have the negatives of a smaller sensor, while still not being pocketable. Having said all that, this is a good price, and m43 IMO is probably the dominant mirrorless standard at this point. |
I own a Nikon D7000 and a range of lenses, ballhead, L- plate etc. I was looking for a alternate (to SLR ) and a pocketable camera to carry with me. So bought GF2 way back when released and paid hefty $600-ish. Then for the GH1 as well. However, I saw little use of the babies as I would still carry a big bag with me always which is a little smaller than my 2-lens, 1 flash SLR bag. So finally took the plunge with RX100 3 months back. Other negative with these cameras and lenses is, the little to no re-sale values. If you see the way the price of these cameras and lenses drop, they quite become a non-performing asset in no time. I could not sell my Panasonic gear. Otherwise you get good re-sale on Nikon or canon lenses. If you are looking for long term investment, then I would look elsewhere as you will slowly build a parallel MF3 equipments in addition to your SLR. |

2011 Kia Sportage first drive
Something unexpected is happening at Kia. The Korean car company released new models, updated others, and put hamsters in its commercials. We took a preview drive in the Sportage, Kia's small SUV that has undergone a radical restyling.
With a base price of $18,295, the 2011 Sportage makes an economy play, and some of the car's appointments, such as hard plastics in the cabin, reflect that strategy. But other aspects of the car, such as the ride quality and handling, suggest something slightly more upscale. Think Honda when it ruled the economy roost.
At its highest trim, and fully loaded, Kia says the price only gets to about $28k. At this level, the Sportage includes features such as dual-zone climate control, a heated and cooled driver seat, locking all-wheel-drive, and navigation.
Following a trend Kia set with the new Forte and Soul models, all Sportage trims come with a Bluetooth phone system that lets you dial by name using voice command and a USB port for iPod integration. … Read more

Feminism and Pop Culture
Whether or not we like to admit it, pop culture is a lens through which we alternately view and shape the world around us. When it comes to feminism, pop culture aids us in translating feminist philosophies, issues, and concepts into everyday language, making them relevant and relatable. In Feminism and Pop Culture, author and cofounder of Bitch magazine Andi Zeisler traces the impact of feminism on pop culture (and vice versa) from the 1940s to the present and beyond. With a comprehensive overview of the intertwining relationship between women and pop culture, this book is an ideal introduction to discussing feminism and daily life.
Bitch is pleased to announce that Feminism and Pop Culture stepped in at #33 on Ms. Readers' 100 Best Non-Fiction Books list!
**Author-signed copies available! Would you like a personal message and/or signature from Andi in your copy of Feminism and Pop Culture? Just let us know in the order comments!**

First of all, I'm not. Having a second child. Someday, yes - absolutely, I want at least one more child - but for now I am happily a mother to one toddler without another on the way.
But it's something that I think about a lot, partly because once you enter this club called parenthood, well, kids are a popular subject. We, as parents, make this decision (or stumble into this reality) to have more children, as parents have been doing since the dawn of time.
Before I had a baby I never imagined that the timing of subsequent children would be something I'd think about at all. But you guys know how it goes. You experience those fond memories of holding a newborn, somehow glossing over the whole sleeplessness situation. Or, you know, that day that you were wearing your red hoodie for, like, the seventh day in a row and you found that very depressing.
Maybe your friends start having more children and it seems like it would be a good idea to keep up. To go through it all together. Or maybe you simply always imagined your children would be exactly one, three or five years apart, because that's how it was when you were growing up and it was great! Or it was horrible! Let's not do it that way!
I'm of two totally different but equally passionate minds on this, one day thinking that I cannot wait to be pregnant again, just absolutely can't wait! The next day I'm all, "You know what? Let's give this four or five years. I am loving life with my one adorable child and want it to be exactly like this for as long as possible."
Age is, of course, another factor for mothers if you're going the traditional pregnancy route. I'm 32. Not the youngest mother on the block by any means, but I certainly feel that I have ample childbearing years ahead.
There's a lot to think about and, for me, thinking about it isn't such an attractive prospect. I'm a pretty big non-planner when it comes to life events (which, believe me, has its pros and cons) and the thought of discussing the timing of a second child with my husband, when we're not sure what the next year may bring in terms of job prospects and whatever else, sounds like an awful way to spend an evening. I mean, it's hot out. How about margaritas and mindless television instead?
For those of you who are raising children now, or who have raised your children, how did you make these decisions, and how did the age separation between your children work out? For those of you who haven't had children yet, do you have a specific plan?

Castor reacts to Kucinich announcement and Grayson health bill listen
03/17/10 Seán KinaneWMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
In January, Tampa-area member of Congress Kathy Castor told WMNF she would vote against the Senate's version of health care reform.
"I could not vote for the Senate bill. No, I could not vote for the Senate bill. But I think we're going to see some concessions from the Senate billâ€
We spoke to her again today, when it looks likely the Senate version will be deemed to be passed by the House of Representatives later this week.
We began this interview by asking Representative Castor for her reaction to Rep. Dennis Kucinich's announcement that he will support the bill.
Castor also weighed in on a bill by Orlando-area Representative Alan Grayson that would allow everyone to buy into Medicare
"As a matter of fact, I just talked with Congressman Grayson and I'm looking at that bill right now.â€
Kathy CastorThank you Kathy for standing up for the people of Florida.

05-31-2012, 11:30 PM #1002Since I have 250 miles on the new crate engine I dropped in a few weeks ago, I decided it was time to tackle the paint and rust on my 89 Burb.
So yesterday I got the grinder out and started attacking the typical rust spots on the fenders.
All I've done so far is take the chrome trim piece for the wheel well off the pass side fender (had to grind the heads of the screws off because they were rusted in there) and sand down as much of the rust as possible. Then I hit it with some rust inhibitor and sanded a bit more. Last thing I did today was lay a bit of bondo down on the offending areas. So tomorrow I'll do some more sanding and more thin layers of bondo and more sanding until I'm satisfied. Then I'll move on to the next fender.....And so on and so on and.........

ATHENS — Police in Athens say they will increase patrols of University of Georgia football players' homes while the athletes are out of town for away games.
Georgia linebacker Christian Robinson says he returned from the Bulldogs' lopsided loss at South Carolina on Saturday night to find a house he shares with quarterback Aaron Murray "egged and rolled." Robinson, a senior, concluded the toilet paper and eggs on the house were a result of the loss.
Athens-Clarke County police will conduct "house checks" of the residence whenever the Bulldogs are out of town for a game.
Georgia (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) has a week off before playing at Kentucky on Oct. 20.

HON 1112-002 And Dignity for All CRN 60382 Barrett R 12-1:40 p.m.
Fulfills Spring Dignitas requirement. This is a continuation of Honors section 2 of Dignitas from the Fall. The course will be taught using the methods and at the level appropriate for Honors.
HON 2405 The World CRN 60643 IDS: 02, 06, 07 Barrett
TR 4-4:50 p.m.
This course aims to give students, largely from the Upper Midwest, exposure to and an opportunity to analyze current issues from around the globe. Since the text is a British publication, it exposes students to foreign perceptions of the United States. Students will gain the research skills needed to quickly get additional information on events around the world.
HON 3350 Psychology of Human Sexuality CRN 61668 IDS: 01, 02, 06 Schroeder
MWF 1-2:05 p.m. 3/18-5/9
This course will involve reading and discussing the literature on selected, often controversial, topics in human sexuality. Subjects include evolutionary psychology and mate selection, love styles and classifications, unlovely feelings such as jealousy, correlates of sexual orientation, the church and sexuality, contraceptives, resolving unwanted pregnancies, impact of pornography on sexual aggression, atypical sexual behavior, realities and politics of child sexual abuse, and sex therapy. The course will emphasize the interactions between psychological factors and other influences -- biological, social, cultural, religious -- on sexual attitudes and behavior, and the study of sexuality as a scientific discipline.
HON 3390 Irish Literature CRN 61669 Area Distribution: 04 Hagen
MWF 11:45 a.m.-12:50 p.m.
The incredibly rich fiction, drama, and poetry of a tiny island have produced four Nobel Prize winners in literature. While we will read some texts written before the twentieth century, the emphasis will be on modern and contemporary literature, in part because it was written in English rather than Irish, but more importantly because Irish writers are among the giants of modern literature and some of the most brilliant writers working today. Students will read, discuss, and write about important Irish literary texts, with a few forays into Irish myth, music, art, and history.
HON 3777 Applications of Game Theory CRN 61628 IDS: 02, 05 Hoffman, Qson
TR 2-3:40 p.m.
Game theory is a set of analytical tools for studying the strategic behavior of individuals in both cooperative and non-cooperative settings. In this course we will learn the principles of game theory, show how evolutionary biology has affected our understanding of game theory, and apply the principles of game theory to a wide variety of fields. This course will use problems to develop our understanding of game theory. In many applications of game theory, modeling the interaction of individuals can become quite complicated. The use of computer simulations has allowed researchers to model complex strategic interactions and we will, in this course, use computer simulation models to help us solve various problems. This course will appeal to students interested in economics, political science, psychology, biology, computer science-in general anyone wanting to learn formal tools for analyzing competition and cooperation in social interactions.
HON 4777/MER 4444 Seminar: The Book of Memory CRN 60602 IDS: 01, 04, 07, 11 Hodapp
MW 3:30-5:10 p.m.
The idea of the book in medieval and early modern cultures carried both physical and metaphorical meanings. Memory as a book a person reads was one such metaphorical use. Guided by Mary Carruthers, Frances Yates, and others we will explore how medieval and early modern people used writing and other artistic means to record and shape memories both individually and culturally. We will also examine how certain writers create fictive worlds - cast as personal memories or culturally remembered experiences - to comment on their present political, cultural, religious, or philosophical situations. On the way, we will examine the advent and use of writing as a memorial technique through an on-going exercise in experimental archeology: we'll study and practice a little calligraphy and produce a manuscript. As an upper-level writing intensive course, this seminar will also use writing as a means to learning, leading to a final seminar paper that will become part of a class anthology of essays.
HON 4777 /HIS 4402 Human Rights in World History CRN 61670 IDS: 02, 07, 09 Poole
T 4-7 p.m.
This course is a research seminar divided into three parts. The first part (three weeks) is devoted to the concept and philosophy of human rights. Topics will include human nature, human dignity, natural law, and natural rights, with readings from philosophers such as John Locke and Immanuel Kant. The second part of the course (six weeks) will trace the historical development of human rights from the Enlightenment to the present day, with an emphasis on the twentieth century. In the third part of the course (six weeks), seminar participants will research, write, and present a major paper (25 pp.) on a topic related to human rights. Our main text will be Paul Gordon Lauren, The Evolution of International Human Rights: Visions Seen (2003). (Honors students will be able to present their projects at the Honors Conference in April.)
HON 4777 World War I CRN 61671 IDS: 02, 04, 07 Barrett
MW 3:30-5:10 p.m.
It is said by some that World War I ended the Age of Optimism and began the Modern Era. It certainly triggered the fall of the Tsarist government in Russia, destroyed the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and killed millions of young men who would have been the next generation of European leaders. Some historians claim that World War II was just a continuation of the first war--that the two wars were really one with a twenty year uneasy truce in the middle. After World War I, no one had any illusions that war was glorious and grand. However, most people know few of the details about the war. The goals of the course are to fill in some gaps and inspire a desire to learn more.
HON 4777 Global Poverty II CRN 61672 IDS: 01, 02 Morgan, Hoffman
MW 11:45 a.m.-12:50 p.m.
In this course we seek to answer three questions. First, why are some nations poor and others rich? Second, what programs have been shown to be effective in helping the poor especially the 80% of the world that lives on less than $10 a day? Third, what is our moral obligation to the poor?

*Interdisciplinary Course Option - Honors Program
Some Honors courses fulfill the traditional General Education areas (history, literature, fine arts, social science, philosophy, religious studies, natural science, analytical reasoning). However, many courses will be identified as "Interdisciplinary" (IDS) courses, the content of which spans more than one academic discipline. Students and their advisors decide on an appropriate General Education area each IDS course will meet .
A minimum of 20 credits of regular General Education courses must be taken. Students must enroll in the Writing and Oral Communication components of the General Education Program. Students should review what General Education courses are required for their majors and minors before selecting Honors courses.
For more information, please contact the instructor or Dr. Debra Schroeder.

The Sky's wireless syncing is a nice feature, but it's not a game-changer.
Read the full review →conclusion:We like it
If you take notes on paper, but still want to preserve them digitally, you can always scan everything periodically. Or, you can use the Livescribe Sky Wifi, which takes all of your notes, along with synced audio recordings, and uploads them to Evernote via WiFi. You can then access your scribblings from anywhere with a computer, smartphone, or tablet. The Sky Wifi isn't cheap, and it requires special paper that sells for about $9 and up (though you can print your own with the right laser printer). It's also thicker and heavier than a typical pen, so it's worth trying out first, especially if you have small hands. But it beats scanning -- or hauling a laptop to every meeting or class.

This makes it a great tool for journalists covering events. Students and teachers could benefit, too. An instructor could share "pencasts" that explain trigonometry ratios, for instance, while students take interactive notes to spell out the formulas and shapes during class.
Read the full review →Livescribe's digital pens, which employ a unique combination of actual pen and voice recorder, have always been a top-notch way to take accurate notes, but the latest version, the Sky Wifi Smartpen, needs a bit more work.
Read the full review →If you do a lot of interviews without your computer, attend math classes or like the novelty of a digital pen, then you are a potential customer. The initial investment is high, but the flexibility of paper brought to the digital environment is impressive and actually useful.

Read the full review →The Livescribe Sky wifi smartpen is an improvement over its predecessor thanks to built-in Wi-Fi connectivity that synchronises recorded notes and audio to Evernote. While the core functionality of the Sky wifi remains as impressive as ever, the buggy integration with Evernote needs to be ironed...
Read the full review →Should You Buy It? If you can afford it, absolutely. This will revolutionise the way you draw, sketch, take notes and interview. As a journalist, I don't know how I have gone this long without it. For the price you're paying, though, you'd want to use it every day.

FGCU Men's Soccer Takes Top Spot in #ASun Preseason Poll
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The three-time defending Atlantic Sun champion FGCU men's soccer team was picked as the top conference team by the league head coaches in the 2013 A-Sun preseason poll that was unveiled on Thursday.
The Green and Blue were voted first by a staggering seven votes in the A-Sun preseason poll, above previously top ranked ETSU who only received one first-place vote this season. Mercer, who took third in the poll, also received a single first place vote.
FGCU also secured three spots on the 12-man Preseason All-Conference squad with three sophomores adorning the list. Last year's A-Sun Freshman of the Year, Felipe DeSousa (Tampa, Fla./Wharton HS), joined defender Aaron Guillen (El Paso, Texas/Coronado HS), and midfielder Rodrigo Saravia (Guatemala City, Guatemala/College Internacional Montessori). DeSousa led the league with five game-winning goals last season for the Eagles, while he racked up 15 points with seven goals.
Finishing the season with an 11-5-2 overall record, the Eagles entered the 2012 A-Sun Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed after posting a 6-1-1 mark in league action. Having already secured three regular season championships, the Green and Blue went on to claim their second straight A-Sun Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth in the program's second season of eligibility.
Welcoming back 15 players from last year's championship squad, the Eagles open the season with a trip to Tampa, Fla. to face the Bulls of USF on August 30 at 8:00 p.m. The 2013 home opener with FIU is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Sept. 7 at the FGCU Soccer Complex.
FGCU season tickets can be purchased in person at the Alico Arena ticket office or by phone at 239-590-7145. Tickets are also available at FGCUathletics.com/tickets. The FGCU ticket office is open from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to the ticketed event. An adult season ticket is $30, while a youth (3-12 years) ticket is $15. Single game tickets can also be bought at $6 for adults and $3 for youth. Groups of 10+ can get in for $3 a person. FGCU students and faculty/staff get in free with their Eagle ID.

Matt Hasselbeck: Another potential QB option for the Tennessee Titans
Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck is a 35-year old vet who's certainly paid his dues as a quality NFL starting quarterback. After struggling through the 2010 regular season, Hasselbeck was able to turn back the hands of time with an impressive postseason showing during the 7-9 Seahawks' improbable playoff run.
Hasselbeck, unlike some of the other guys we've already discussed, won't require trade compensation due to the fact that he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.
Yea or Nay: Should the Titans consider bringing in Hasselbeck as a potential starting QB option?
Will the real Matt Hasselbeck please stand up?
Due to his advancing age, the Seattle Seahawks were already prepared to move on to life without Matt Hasselbeck as their starting QB. Philip Rivers' former backup, Charlie Whitehurst, was acquired last offseason and was designated as the present and future signal-caller for Seattle.
Despite the presence of Whitehurst, Hasselbeck ended up as Seattle's starting QB in 2010 and for the most part, had a pretty uneven year. His TD to INT ratio was anything but impressive: 12 TDs, 17 INTs and he even missed a couple of starts due to injury.
In the playoffs, Hasselbeck appeared rejuvenated, displaying the form that earlier this century, made him one of the league's better quarterbacks. In two postseason starts, "Hass" threw for a combined 530 yards while tossing an impressive 7 touchdown passes and only 1 interception.
His more-than-adequate playoff performance showed that despite being 35 years old, maybe he still has something left in the tank as a starting QB in this league.
If the Titans decided to pursue Hasselbeck, they'd still be able to keep their draft picks due to the veteran being an unrestricted free agent. That's a good thing, considering the myriad of needs the Titans should and will likely address with their draft selections this April.
Hasselbeck is the definition of a stop-gap: A guy who is capable of holding down the fort for a year or two while a youngster waits in the wings. Of course, that youngster is currently not on the team's roster (sorry, Rusty Smith) so if the Titans decided to acquire Hasselbeck, that means that they will likely pursue an up-and-comer at QB with one of their high draft selections.
In the event that the young quarterback that the Titans would acquire via the draft steps up and emerges as the starter from day one, Hasselbeck would be a perfect backup QB option if Kerry Collins isn't re-signed or decides to call it quits.
So what's your take, guys? Matt Hasselbeck: Good or bad fit for the Tennessee Titans?

Palm sugar is a great substitute to sugar but I'm allergic to nuts, so last time I ate something with palmsugar I got terrible rashes and got very sick. But this didn't happen at all from my first order with palmsuger. No I don't want to eat this palmsugar anymore because it can contain traces of nuts, sadly... I wish U could sell products that didn't have traces of nuts etc... So this is THE BEST, BUT not for those with nut allergy..

Ferrari Presents the All-New FF
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Feast your eyes on Ferrari's flagship fastback, the four-seat, four-wheel-drive FF. The initials stand for Ferrari Four in reference to the seat configuration and the new all-wheel drive system, which Ferrari says weighs only half as much as those made by their competitors.
The novel traction system is mated to an all-new 6.3-liter V12 engine with direct injection that produces 651 horsepower. That's enough, says Ferrari, to propel the FF to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 208 mph – both faster and quicker than the 612 Scaglietti it replaces.
It's also lighter than the 612, and features an innovative "shooting brake" body-style that is at once both sleek and versatile, providing as much luggage space as a small hatchback.

Air Travel and the Super-size Passengers
The ever-increasing number of individuals around the globe who are over-sized for the average airline seat will have a major impact on aircraft interior design. Two separate trends in body types, the larger passenger and the taller passenger, will require that airlines revisit their design approach and focus on people centred innovation to provide solutions.
Obesity, as measured by medical professionals in terms of BMI (Body Mass Index) and the prevalence of taller people are an undeniable part of our future. Trends also show that this very BMI may have a flaw in the future, due to the fact that some people are now growing taller than their ancestors. In some cultures, primarily Asian and South American, there have been dramatic changes that are beginning to be seen by medical professionals.
While there is a lot of discussion around the core reason for these changes, that is not as important to the commercial airline industry as what to do with the changing size and shapes of passengers. Some carriers already have a policy about "obese" passengers, but they are defined by a set of inconsistent factors. One of the more common measurements (and one that got a certain amount of notoriety from actor Kevin Smith while attempting to fly Southwest Airlines) is if a passenger "can comfortably lower the armrest". I am relatively confident that this will be an issue in years to come.
Airlines and Obese Passengers
Another common policy that airlines follow is to have larger passengers purchase two seats on a flight, or to pay to upgrade their travel to another cabin. As capacity reduction continues to put some pressure on the ability of airlines to deliver these seats on short notice, there will also be a need to identify passengers ahead of the flight. This has some potential legal and social implications that may be unpalatable to most carriers.
Often lost in this discussion is the comfort of other passengers who are sharing the space with the obese passenger. There is a potential customer service issue for airlines as other passengers potentially complain about the loss of personal space already at a premium.
There are potential issues around aircraft safety, as passengers changing shape and sizes may cause some to question if some aircraft emergency exits are even accessible to these individuals.
What can airlines do for Super-size Passengers?
What new innovations are available to carriers to deal with this evolving need in all classes of service? There are some changes with so called "sliding seats" that may allow for airlines to offer slight adaptations to seat size. However, these represent safety challenges with the size of the aisle being potentially reduced.
I believe that there are not commercially available economy seats to deal with this issue, as airlines do not fell that they need or want to invest in this area of development. I believe that a more proactive approach is called for, and developing adjustable seating or even select seating that is truly wider will offer both passengers and airlines a better solution to addressing this emerging "mega-trend".
At the same time, there are premium seating solutions in forward cabins that do make flying more comfortable for people of all sizes. However, these may be economically unfeasible for many passengers. In this case, I do see a day where additional potential legal challenges may be faced by air carriers in places like the USA by an obese person who may claim that their size is due to a disability and is therefore protected by law. Carriers will need to proactively examine the potential range of solutions that could be available.
Airlines and the Taller Passenger
In a completely separate issue, there is obviously better news for taller passengers and travel on some airlines. Some airlines have a gate control policy that allows them to "gate control" the seats with more legroom for passengers they feel could benefit from the additional space.
There are also a number of carriers offering "extra legroom" or "premium seats" in the economy cabin. That said, some carriers also charge for these seats, which some taller passengers may feel is unfair. In addition, with the increase in Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) over the last decade, there has also been ever so slight erosion in seat pitch (the distance between one row and the next). This presents the taller passenger with comfort challenges, but may give some carriers an advantage with this segment of the traveling public.
What can airlines do for taller passengers?
For this particular trend, most carriers have a product that is already available in their economy class, including on some smaller regional jet services. Overall, while there may be an increase in demand for more legroom in economy class, I do not foresee airline economics allowing for what American Airlines used to refer to as "More Room throughout Coach"- a product that offered the entire cabin more space.
