Teens are Hungry for Personal Power – Adults’ Responsibility to Show How to Get Power
Austin, TX (ContentDesk) February 22, 2006 -- Discovering personal power as a
teenager is an important aspect of growing up. However, when teens discover their personal power they get the independence they desire, but may not yet know how to handle this power. The key for adults is not to convince teens that they have the power, as they already sense it even if theyre not fully expressing it, but to model for them how to use their power responsibly, claims educator and motivational speaker Roger Leslie. When were responsible for ourselves and respectful of others needs and wants as well, we can make sound decisions that keep us out of the dangers teens sometimes meet by making reckless choices. Telling teens to do something or even giving them convincing reasons why they should is never as powerful a motivator as showing by example the strengths and benefits derived from going after what you believe will make you happy.
Leslie believes that parents must consistently strive to be successful and happy [themselves] and teens will learn by what you model. Teens will respond to anyone they believe is genuine.
A do-what-I-say-and-not-what-I-do adult holds no credibility. Teens are very perceptive. They know which adults genuinely have their best interest in mind. When adults come from a position of respecting teens and striving to give them tools so that they can help themselves succeed, then teens will respond, whether that adult is an educator, a speaker or a parent. Marvin Walbert, syndicated weekly columnist for Scripps Howard newspaper adds If you are a parent, its never too early to help our children learn how to begin to visualize the future.
They may have years to go before having to decide careers, but right now they have things they love to do, want to do, cant wait to do.
Parents and educators can start helping the teens now by getting a copy of Success Express For Teens: 50 Activities That Will Change your Life (ISBN 1886298092, Bayou Publishing) by Roger Leslie.
The book shows that for anything that teens want in their life, there is a reality to fill it.
Leslies book gives a step-by-step process for them to find out exactly how they can see their dreams clearly and how to start making them happen.Roger Leslie uses original and dynamic techniques in his writing workshops, self-esteem building seminars, and customized presentations.
His writings and teachings have earned him awards from school districts, writing organizations, Chambers of Commerce, state universities, and national education groups.
He earned his BA in English Education at the University of Houston, MA in creative writing from Antioch University and a library science certification from University of Houston-Clear Lake.
Success Express For Teens may be obtained at any bookstore or online..

AC Power Adapters - Do I Really Need Them?
By now you have decided where you want to go and if you have read my ac adapter article you know whether or not you need to bring along some ac power adapters.
Unfortunately, like many things in life, there are no exact rules governing travel adapters.I recommend bringing power adapters even if you know your destination uses the same kind of ac plug.
Many tropical vacation destinations only have power outlets without a ground.
Therefore if you have a grounded plug (like on your laptop) you will need an ac power adapter to convert it for a non-grounded outlet.
North Americans please remember that many of your appliances with non-grounded plugs are polarized.
(ie. They can only fit in one way).
You may need an ac wall adapter in many countries as their outlets will not accept polarized plugs. If you are traveling to Great Britain you should be extra careful about which ac adapters you bring.
Britain doesn't have a standardized...

MAJOR GENERATOR SHORTAGE: Electric Generators Direct.com Now Taking Backorders on All Portable Generators
The effects of Hurricane Charley and Frances are being felt far beyond Florida. The tag team tandem just put the entire portable generator marketplace on backorder. In Ohio, Tony Holder tried to purchase a generator at his local home improvement store, only to find the shelves empty with the entire inventory on a truck headed south. In Florida, new generators are as scarce as snowballs, with the demand overshadowing the supply. Customers are forced to wait in long lines with lottery numbers, hoping for a "chance" to get one of the few arriving generators.
Many customers, who were simply unable or unwilling to wait, jumped online to purchase generators directly from the manufactures. Even this supply evaporated.

Tips for Purchasing a Standby Generator
So you've decided that you don't want to be left in the dark if a hurricane or a tornado or other disaster hits your area.
You've decided to buy a standby generator.
Sounds simple enough.
But when you get to the store, you find a bewildering variety of generators, from a small 5.5 kilowatt model for around $2,000 to a 45 kilowatt monster for $25,000 or more.
How do you determine which one is right for you?
Of course, your budget will be a factor, but there are other factors that are equally important.
The first factor is whether you want a portable or stationary generator.
If you want a stationary one, where will you put it?
A generator's exhaust gas includes poisonous carbon monoxide, so it must be located outside, in a well ventilated area with plenty of space around it, and protected from the rain.
If you want a portable one,...
