Can I ride a Yamaha R1

I'm 5'8 and I weight 167 lbs, 
Will I be too short to ride it ? 
Like would my legs hit the ground if I'm riding the motorcycle ? 
Thanks!

I'm 5'8 and ride a Fazer 1000 which has the R1 engine so you should be okay. I can't put my feet flat on the ground but don't find it a problem. The seat height of the Fazer is 825mm so check out that of the R1 which won't be any higher and then go get one.


cherry venner furniture

  Veneered furniture can be very expensive. what that means is that the table itself, the top mainly, will be made out of a less expensive wood - poplar, basswood, aspen or others - very stable woods, and there will be a thin layer of cherry veneer covering it. to get an idea of what I am talking about, you can look at a piece of furniture grade plywood, oak or birch are both available at Lowes and Home Depot. Those are made of veneers that are placed at right angles to each other to make them stronger, but the idea is the same. The very top layer, and perhaps the bottom layer, will be made out of oak or birch in this case.

The veneer is very thin and if you are refinishing it, you have to be careful

1. Not to lift it, cause it to become unglued - called de-lamination if you want the word for it

2. Not to sand it too heavily as you can sand right through it if you don't know what you are doing.

Putting veneer down again after it has de-laminated is an absolute PITA and replacing a piece that is damaged requires some good wood working skills.

At a furniture store you can tell if it is veneer instead of solid wood by looking at the end grains - where you would suspect the end of the boards to be on the table or whatever. If it has a natural wood grain, just like the top, that means that the end grain has been veneered, thus covering the base woods.

Veneer does not mean the furniture is a lower quality, some veneer work - especially where they have put a design in the wood - is a sign of good cabinetmaking.

If you have a veneered top on a table, look at the material that they made the legs and apron out of. If it is a quality piece, it should be a solid wood made out of the same wood as the veneer on the top of the table. It can be laminated boards which will not denigrate the quality of the furniture.

they would only veneer the flat surfaces, not round legs.



What kind of patio furniture

Patio furniture, the same as words show, the patio furniture is putted into your garden, your patio. 

Patio furniture contains many types, such as chair, table, bench, chaise, beach umbrella, etc. You can search patio furniture images on Google and yahoo. You will find many more beautiful styles of patio furniture. Patio furniture, we also can called it as outdoor furniture, they are nearly the same as indoor furniture. Just a few differences.

Nowadays, the most common material for Outdoor Furniture is Resin. There are few things to take note when buying your patio furniture, and one of the most important thing to remember is that your patio furniture should be made of Non-Recycled PE Rattan or resin. It looks like a real rattan but much lasting and won't attract termites or bugs. 

There are numbers of store or shop where you can buy this type of furniture but only a few will give you the best quality.

Garden furniture, also called patio furniture. It is typically made of weather-resistant materials such as aluminium which does not rust. Four types of material are used in outdoor furniture. 
1. Plastic : Plastic is least expensive option. Plastic furniture are made up from recycled materials. It can be cleaned with soapy water and easy to maintain. It a good choice for those who want something different. 
2. Wood : Patio furniture comes in a wide variety of wood that can be used if one wants a natural look. 
3. Wicker : Wicker is woven fiber most often used for baskets or furniture. This woven wood is durable and lightweight. 
4. Metal : It has two types of metal, Iron and Aluminium. Iron is strong, durable material. It can be colored to reduce the risk of corrosion and aluminium requires less maintenance than steel or iron and is significantly lighter and easier to move.

you can buy patio furniture just about anywhere have you done a Google search that's the first place i tried and it turned up a lot of scenarios for me, but it all depends on where you live as well and in what state unless you want to buy online you can check out this Wikipedia page i found on patio furniture as you will be very surprised what i found online. 

A lot of modern outdoor furniture is made with rattan, although with longevity in mind I wouldn't personally choose rattan furniture. I would highly recommend synthetic weave wicker which is exceptionally well made and built to last a life time, it looks fantastic too. I found a website that sells this furniture below.

Are yogurts like Yoplait's Yo-Plus safe for pregnant women to eat?

These yogurts are specifically designed to help digestion, but I was wondering if it is safe for pregnant women because of certain things it has in it.

My wife's OB said to avoid the ones with fruit in the bottom when my wife developed gestational diabetes. Prior to that, yogurts were OK. 

The ones with "probiotics" are supposed to be especially helpful in preventing/treating yeast infections.

I am trying to be really careful about what I put on my skin, and in my body while I am pregnant too. I had a craving for salad with ranch dressing. So I went out and bought that really expensive new salad dressing with no artificial anything. Well I was reading the ingredients list and I saw something that I wasn't familiar with. It was natamycin. Sounded like a fungicide or something. So I looked it up and I found the latest research on it from the 1960's. I had been administered to pregnant rats and dogs during testing and they had birth defects. So the conclusion for human food safety was that it was a natural food preservative that causes birth defects in animals at high dosages but is unknown to cause birth defects in humans (of course because you can't test on pregnant humans) and may not because humans would consume less than the doses administered in the research. 
So even though it seemed as if it was safer, in fact it was not. So I threw it away and went and bought the regular old stuff that I had known pregnant women to be eating for years instead of this new fangled food product that had unknown results on pregnant humans. My suggestion to you is just look up any ingredients that you don't feel sure about and see what the research says, that is truly the only way us pregnant women can try to be safe. We can't depend on the scientists and government. But thank the lord for the internet.

Is yogurt and yakult safe for pregnant

they say yogurt or yakult contains live bacteria or sometimes its unpasteurized. is it safe to eat while pregnant? im 28 weeks pregnant now and im craving for these milk products!!!! thanks.... :)

 Not all bacteria are bad for you. You NEED certain bacteria in your intestines to be able to digest food properly. The bacteria in yogurt and yakult are the good kind.

Yakult is always made with pasteurized milk. Yogurt can be made with unpasteurized milk but that is very unusual. If unoasteurized milk is used it will always say so on the label.

It is perfectly safe for you to eat yogurt or drink yakulot during pregnancy. In fact it's good for you, so obey your cravings and go for it!

Any grocers in Philadelphia area sell Yakult?

Yakult is not sold in Philly. It is sold at some stores in New Jersey, but they aren't very close. I suppose it depends where you are whether you consider the stores to be in the Philadelphia area.

Does yakult really aid digestion as it claims?

Yakult (ヤクルト, Yakuruto?) is a probiotic yogurt-like beverage made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk and sugar with a special strain of the bacteria Lactobacillus casei. Because L. casei Shirota is naturally found in the digestive system, Yakult is touted as beneficial for intestinal health. It has a natural citrus flavor. 

The name is derived from Jahurto, which is Esperanto for "yoghurt."[1] 

Yakult was invented by Kyoto University pediatrics doctor Minoru Shirota in 1930. In 1935, he founded the Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. (株式会社ヤクルト本社, Kabushiki-gaisha Yakuruto Honsha?) (TYO: 2267 ) to market his beverage. Since then, Yakult has also introduced a line of beverages for the Japanese market that contain Bifidobacterium breve bacteria, and has also used its lactobacilli research to develop cosmetics. More recently, the Yakult Honsha played a major role in developing the chemotherapy drug irinotecan (Camptosar, CPT-11).[2] 

Yakult also owns one of Japan's major baseball franchises, the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. 

Today, Yakult is manufactured and sold in Japan, Asia, Australia, Latin America, and Europe, although its bacteria cultures are still imported from a mother strain in Japan regardless of production location.

Yakult actually contain 'good' bacteria that aid in digestion. 
But the sugar content is really too high.

Yes because I take it and it help out greatly
