The EU2000i: A Great Portable Generator

July 19, 2010

There are two things that people will want out of a portable generator; portability and power. Not only are those two things important, but fuel efficiency and quiet is also incredibly important. The reason for this is because individuals will want to bring a generator with them when they go camping so they can enjoy the outdoors, while keeping life’s conveniences around while in nature. To meet those needs, we have the Honda EU2000i. This generator is one of the top generators on the market thanks to several features that come standard from one of the leading generator companies in the world; Honda.

First of all, the Honda EU2000i runs at 2,000 watts with 120 volt capabilities. While it says it runs at 2,000 watts, many owners have reported that the generator actually surges above 2,000 watts and that it has a lot of motor speed. This gives the generator the ability to deal with large motor loads without a problem. Honda lists the generator as ideal for TVs, DVD players, a small fridge, a coffee pot and much more.

Another great feature about this wonderful generator from Honda is the fact that it is very quiet. This is very important if you are operating within a campground. While you may want to keep the kids amused through letting them watch a movie on the portable television, the other campers may not want to hear a running generator. This is why something like the Honda EU2000i is so great because it runs so quietly.

The Honda EU2000i is very light, at least light for a generator that is. At only 47 pounds, the generator is surprisingly portable, which makes it much easier to use and much easier to pack around. This is very important, especially if you are camping because the generator can be moved to where you need it to be, while at the same time you will be able to fit it in the car without taking up too much room.

Probably the best feature of the Honda generator is the fact that it has excellent fuel efficiency. Honda currently rates the fuel efficiency of the generator at 9.6 hours per one gallon of gas. That means if you have 10 gallons of gas for your generator stored, you have 96 hours of generator use. That is phenomenal and something that makes this generator perfect for camping use.

If you are looking for a light-weight, fuel-efficient, power generator that can be carried easily, then the Honda EU2000i is the generator for you.

Five Pregnancy Myths you Shouldn’t Believe—and One I Won’t Believe

July 8, 2010

For as long as there have been teenagers, teenage boys have been trying to convince teenage girls to have sex. And five of the things they tell you are myths at best, lies at worst.

“You can’t get pregnant the first time.” Women are at their most fertile in their teens and twenties, whether it’s the first time or the fiftieth. Every year hundreds, if not thousands of teen mothers say “But we only did it ONCE.” It only takes once.

“You can’t get pregnant if we follow the rhythm method.” A recent study shows that one in five teens claims to use the rhythm method of birth control. Unfortunately, this form of birth control results in pregnancy 25% of the time.

“You can’t get pregnant if I pull out.” “Pulling out” isn’t as easy as it sounds, and he may not be able to even if he truly intends to. Furthermore, there may be what is called “pre-ejaculate” which includes sperm that can reach your egg.

“You can’t get pregnant if we use a condom.” While a condom may be more reliable than the rhythm method, they have been known to break.

“You can get pregnant if you take a bath or shower or douche after sex.” Another dangerous myth. In fact, douching can make matters worse by giving the sperm a boost. Not that they need it. In fact, they swim so fast, that it’s unlikely anybody could stop them once they’re on their way. No matter how fast you try to clean up, it may be too late to prevent pregnancy.

So there you have it. Five common myths that teenage boys want to believe and teenage girls should never believe.

And there’s one more myth that nobody will believe, no matter how much they may want to: “I must have gotten pregnant from a toilet seat.”

No, that just doesn’t happen.

Believing these myths can change your life forever. And while everybody loves sweet little babies, statistics prove that early motherhood and abandoned educations lead to lives of poverty for both the mothers and their babies. Because these clichés aren’t the only ones teenage mothers hear.

“It’s not my kid.” And “I don’t think it looks like me.” And “Why should I pay child support? YOU’RE the one that got pregnant.”

And, of course, there’s the myth you’ll hear from your boyfriend’s mother no matter how much she likes you now: “You ruined my son’s life when you got yourself pregnant.”
