Hi Charlene,
It's not that simple. In life nothing worth having ever is. Hope this helps. I'm also going to post more on my blog so I can explain the context, but I can start the conversation by saying a few things here.
- I am president of the Massachusetts affiliate of ASCD,
- I am on the ASCD Leadership Council.
- I attended the Position Statement Committee discussion in New Orleans, ASCD 2008, last month on 21st Century education and was a strong advocate for ASCD beginning to help the staff, leadership and membership understand Web 2.0 pedagogies.
- I advocated in the same fashion for Web 2.0 pedagogies with Valerie Truesdale, current President of ASCD.
- Valerie pointed out that ASCD 2009 has a major theme on technology, **Imagine: Connecting Learners in an E-World**, and a major theme of engagement, **Imagine: Challenging Minds to Engage and Learn More Deeply**.
Based on what I know, I am optimistic that ASCD is ready for our message. I still have work to do, but if I have the names of a network of presenters like you, Gail and others interested with solid proposals, I will approach ASCD to advocate for an understanding of how significant our contribution could be on ASCD 2009. It would obviously help if I had ten or more people so I could say, "Hey, look at us; we have something to offer ASCD that will move the educational technology strand from successful to significant! Not sure what will come of it, but it sure beats complaining that no one listens to us.

NAILMALL on 03 Apr 19A limo service should never be short of exhilarating. With the right guidance, you can choose the service that suits your interest. You can avoid lousy limo services that promise one thing and deliver the exact opposite. You can avoid the hassle by choosing the right service using the following criteria. 1. Decide the Type of Service You Want You can hire limo services for virtually any event or occasion. Most people use these services during their weddings, prom dates, airport transfers, anniversaries, birthdays, corporate events, normal corporate functions, official functions, private parties, dinner dates, and many other situations. Whatever the event, a limousine service will make it memorable and special. Once you have decided the event, confirm how many people will use the service. If you need more than two people, you may need a company that has big limousines. If everyone is traveling alone, you may need a service that has a large fleet so that no one arrives too early or too late. On your wedding day, you need a spectacular limo that will make a statement. Whatever the occasion, you need a company that can cater to those specific needs. Specify the number of people, the number of limos, the type of limousines, the color of the limo, the driver's dress code, and such details. 2. Verify Things can go wrong if you don't conduct your due diligence. These are the things to check before you hire the company. A. Vehicle Inspection The vehicles inspection report and FMCSA registration should be available for review. It should also be up to date. B. Driver License Your chauffeur will determine the kind of experience you can get. The driver's license should be current. Inquire about the level of training, experience, and ability to communicate. C. Company License Every company should have licenses to operate in individual states. Players in Brevard County and Space Coast need specific permits from the state of Florida to offer public transportation. D.
