Can You Change Your Body PH? The Alkaline Diet Scam
Filed under Raw Food & Health by Frederic Patenaude
I recently received the following question from a reader:
A few years back my mom was following pretty much Dr Robert Young alkalarian diet – with NO fruit at all, where he considers fruits – high sugar content ones specially – to be acidic, as a perfect and only greatest discovery diet ever.
I would like you to say something about this 'insanity' of not eating any fruits. What do you think about high content sugar fruits to be acidic to the body?
To be more specific, I have been eating much more fruits than greens nowadays, and my family is pretty much concerned about my eating choices, so I want to be able to show them a consistent answer about this choice and why it has nothing to do with Dr Young's Alkalarian diet.
Hope to hearing from you soon.
I'm familiar with Dr. Young's approach, and as I've always said, every diet has something to offer usually because of the bad things they *remove* rather than what they add in. The Alkalarian diet by Dr. Young does a good job at removing some of the most unhealthy foods most people eat, but is completely misguided when it comes to its recommendation on avoiding fruit.
First of all, Dr. Young is wrong in implying that what you eat or drink has any effect on your body's PH. It's actually pretty embarrassing that he would even say something like that, given that he pretends to be a scientist.
Your body and your blood maintain a stable PH that *never changes significantly* no matter what you eat or drink! Therefore you cannot make your body "acidic" or "alkaline" by eating a certain food or avoiding certain foods. In fact, if your blood's PH changed significantly it would mean *very bad news* for your health, it would mean your body did not have enough mineral reserves to buffer the change and bring yourself back to neutral.
The body always wants to be at homeostasis, if it changed constantly one way or the other you would likely not be alive, the body is very intelligent and has evolved in a way that it can handle almost anything you drink or eat and yet remain at the same PH.
That being said, the foods you eat can become acidic or alkaline *after they are digested.* This means that certain foods, after they are digested, will produce acidity in the digestive tract, and others will produce alkaline base materials. But remember that technically speaking, the digestive system is *outside* the human body! F
rom your mouth to your colon is a complete system that is not actually part of the rest of your body, nothing goes directly into your blood without being processed, and filtered. Picture a date and its stone pit, the stone being the digestive track and the date itself being the body. One is inside and one is outside.
Some people test the PH of their urine and think it means anything, but it doesn't since urine, again, is outside of the body and bloodstream. The only way to test the PH of your body would be to test the blood.
Your digestive system and organs only use what it needs and not everything you eat or drink "hits" your bloodstream. You cannot make your blood acidic or alkaline, it always stays the same PH. The body uses what it needs from the digestive tract and discards what it doesn't through waste products and those never "enter" the body or affect your PH.
Whether a food produces an alkaline or acidic reaction after digestion is measured by a chart known in medical science as the "Renal Acid Load Chart."
If you study this chart, you'll discover that *all* fruits and *all* vegetables are alkaline-forming. On the other hand, animal products are quite acid-forming while grains and beans are slightly acid forming.
The acidity created from the digestion of certain "acid-forming foods" must be buffered by the alkaline mineral reserves of the body. That's why it's important to eat diet composed mainly of alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables.
What this means to you, is that you need to eat more fruits and vegetables to have more alkaline mineral reserves generally in your bones. If you eat only meat and grains, your body will take alkaline minerals from your bones to buffer any extra acid produced in digestion and that can lead to problems like osteoporosis where you have weak or brittle bones from a lack of certain minerals like calcium which is alkaline.
Please note that I said it's important to eat "fruits and vegetables" and not just "vegetables."
Also keep in mind that the body and the blood themselves are not getting more alkaline or acidic by the foods you eat. Anyone who says the contrary is just making stuff up, and claiming that fruits are acid-forming because of their fruit "acids" and somehow harm the body is even more ludicrous.
Ask any medical practitioner or even med student and they will tell you that it's impossible and that the blood or body cannot change PH based on what you eat. It just doesn't work that way.
This also goes for alkaline or acidic water, water is buffered by the body just like food, so don't be duped into thinking the PH of your drinking water means anything, especially when you're eating a high mineral diet of fruits and vegetables. Your body is getting more than enough to maintain it's reserves to buffer any slight change from what is produced by digestion.
Eat your fruits, eat your vegetables, and you'll be healthy!

Thanks for posting the info. I am a naturopathy student in Australia and read the book, 'the pH miracle' in my first term and was very confused as to why fruit could ever be blacklisted. I still of course continued to eat it after reading the book, based on simple common sense more than anything.
I am now in my final year and have since gone to study anatomy and physiology, medical science, microbiology and pathology in a lot greater detail (including metabolic acidosis/alkalosis)
I respect scientific findings, but always take them with a grain of salt. To me anecdotal experience is far more important. My only interest here is supporting people to improve their health.
From speaking to a lot of senior naturopaths, it would appear that many of their unscientific, unproven and sometimes even 'dangerous' treatments/methods (according to science) basically for want of a better word, work, AND have continued to work for the last 20-30 years with hundreds of cases of certain health conditions.
So the question is, who do you believe? Someone with a well respected academic position, or someone with years of anecdotal clinical experience?
I can think of a few examples: Licorice will raise bp. But just how much would you need to ingest to do it is never mentioned, and if you investigate it one would need to take well above the recommended weekly dose to effect BP. Gallbladder flush is rubbish and only emulsified oil and salts is passed, but yet multiple GB cases with before and after scans showing the stones have shifted along with drastic health improvements. St. Johns Wort with the contraceptive pill, it enhances liver clearance via cytochrome P450 so therefore it is contraindicated. Echinacea shouldn't be used with auto immune disorders etc etc…. The list goes on.
I am just saying please don't immediately disregard anecdotal experience based on modern science, i.e. it is useless until proven effective with multiple double blind, placebo controlled studies.
If it works and does no harm, great.
I was thinking the same but I was not 100 % sure; now I'm pleased that Fredereic clarified this. Thanks for the info !
As a western medical professional I felt the need to comment on some of the things in the article and in the comments that people seem to be confused about. I hope this helps
A few things….
"impossible to change pH…" I know Fred says "significantly", which makes this statement technically true, but pH CAN be changed significantly but it causes GIANT PHYSIOLOGICAL DISTRESS, not minor symptoms or complaints. pH imbalances in the body are extremely dangerous. They can occur and you are right that they will occur if the buffering of the body fails which comes from it's stores and reserves.
Buffering of the body takes place in the stomach with acid, the intestine with bile, pancreatic juice and along the bowel with secreted enzymes, and the colon with water absorption. This continues in the blood as it travels through the enteric and then the hepatic blood systems towards the liver. The liver is our filter and works towards balance and toxin removal, this comes first, right after the blood leaves the intestine to protect us against anything the gut may have erroneously let in. The then blood itself is a buffer, then as the blood continues round the body, lymph and the kidneys help to manage pH too. All these parts at any given time may be slightly acid or slightly basic (SLIGHTLY) as they work toward a neutral pH. You can take a series of blood tests along a timeline and have a different pH each time. Even dehydration causes swings and we are 97% water. This swinging back and forth is also why our blood sugar fluctuates after a meal and why taking your blood sugar is a prescribed schedule and not a free for all, take it when you want. Everything in the body floats back and forth between slightly acidic and slightly basic… but CUMULATIVELY it is neutral.
ALL chemical processes are balances, or equilibriums, they are constantly swinging back and forth from product and reactants…. salt water is sometimes salt and water, and sometimes dissolved Na+ and Cl+, when the molecules bump into each other they break apart or join momentarily, but we don't call it salt and water, we call it salt water because it is both, salt and water, and salt-and water.
"outside the body" the intestines or digestive tract are part of the body but the surface which food interacts is an external surface. This makes them "external" to the body. Food remains external to the body and since ppl understand our digestive system as being a food intake system, this statement is true but semantically confusing.
"Urine pH" There can be changes in pH of the urine, and in general this is a good thing, excess is being driven out of the body as waste, your body is buffering. Good for your body. I suppose that urine pH could be an indicator of the internal environment, but more likely how well the body is clearing out that environment. Diet is a big factor on how much you need to clear out. But luckily your body can clear a lot.
What people need to understand is that the body absorbs what you put in, to a large extent it will only take what it needs, but if all you are giving it is crap it has no other choice than to use that crap. The body does not know that tomorrow you intend to improve your diet, it only has what you give it. It does do it's best to make the best of what you give it, but won't just absorb nothing because all there is is crap. You need fuel everyday and the body only knows today and storing for tomorrow, it doesn't wait for better.
Also some drugs, toxins or metals can enter the body via the digestive tract simply because they are soluble or available. This is why we should care what we put in. Fruit is not toxic nor is sugar a drug, therefore excluded from this conversation. The gut is not perfect and will absorb anything its enzymes break down, like gluten for a celiac, gluten is BAD for humans but because they have Zonulin (an enzyme) it is broken down into gliadin and absorbed. Other enzymes can cleave or make available bad things as well as good, but they are specific enough that with a good balanced diet we get all we need. Also if all you give your body is fat, you will be fat…. the enzymes will break it down, you will absorb it and it will be stored in the body. The gut doesn't care if you have already eaten a large amount of fat, it will continue to break it down. This is evolutionary and important as our bodies want to protect themselves and in times of plenty this will mean creating stores.
The chemical equation for water is H2O, this leaves no room for anything else, so when we are talking about drinking water we are not talking about H2O. We are talking about mineralized water that contains (typically) sodium (Na+), phosphate (K+), Magnesium (Mg+) ect… Being alkaline or acidic can simply mean differing amounts of these or another substance added to water. You are right, some spring water is acidic, but it is not a pH of 3 or 2 or 1, because it would kill you. I have not specifically researched the pH of spring waters but are certain they are not so acidic or basic they would be chemically considered a strong acid or a strong base. Strong acids and bases have the potential to overthrow the body's buffers but weak acids or bases usually cannot with the proper balance and available balancing agents and reserves.
What substances and their concentrations in the water determine its pH and why do you want to drink altered water? filtered is one thing, big things are removed according to size or attraction to the filter's materials. But to make water acidic or basic is to add or take away from water that is neutral or fairly close to it. I am not sure what exactly makes the water one or the other… and you are right, stomach acid at a pH of ~1 is a stronger bigger meaner acid than any form of something still close enough to be called H2O.
"nothing else was changed" "placebo effect" You can never control a human unless they are under observation (which very few humans will consent too) and certainly it is unrealistic to consider that patients faced with a diagnosis of cancer would not change anything but their water as a means of treatment. I am not saying they went out and secretly took chemo… but there is the placebo effect to consider. These people knew they were unhealthy or had cancer (as there was ZERO quoted studies I cannot verify the information provided) and were provided with a substance, there is a strong indication that by being given a substance after being diagnosed with cancer that it is meant as a treatment. The faith of the people also matters, and the fact that the water could not have been properly concealed or considered to be the only form of water consumed unless people were supervised 24hrs/day. Trials, even with drugs from well funded pharmaceutical companies, must acknowledge the uncontrolled variables, and what is possible to have changed. No trial that does not include supervision claims that NOTHING ELSE WAS CHANGED. People will fight for their lives. These trials are about utilizing an intervention among many people who will all take it in addition to all the things people facing these conditions will do.
Thank you for pointing out the link between those selling the water and toting its effects all while quoting the studies they have not provided. Seriously. I test drugs. I do not sell the drugs. I do not receive a financial benefit from wether or not the study is positive or negative, or if the drug sells. In fact, publishing a negative study enhanced my position in science by conveying the truth without bias and establishing my methods as being careful science. This is the point of science, integrity and honest reporting and acknowledgement of the limitations of the experiment and its hypothesis. What we guess/hypothesize as the cause is still just a guess, only the results are true, how we explain them is up for debate until no further dis-proof can be found. Truth in science is often the most accepted hypothesis, not truth as some people use it to mean indisputable fact. Science actually uses "laws" when its hypotheses are so well accepted that there is not room for anymore dispute.
"those who switched their diets got better" I am sure they did. Diet counts as per all the reasons above. Does diet cure cancer? I don't know, not always, maybe, it could. Do we know this for sure? no. I am sure that there are many raw vegans who die of cancers along with meat eaters. But no one ever goes out and preaches how to get cancer, they are perhaps too embarrassed to say anything if they feel or are told or know that their diet caused their bodies harm. BUT PLEASE EAT WELL. eat balanced, eat simple known ingredients. eat often, and eat for nutrition and pleasure. eat the right amounts to maintain weight and be healthy in other areas of life including exercise and emotional/mental health.
"most people are willing to change their water" WHAT?!?!?! not me. I am not going to not drink water because I don't have my special glass flask of special alkaline water with me. And I don't know I'd want a specific kind of water that has been treated to become and stay on one side of its natural equilibrium, I am definitely not in agreeance with this. Also the people who participate in these studies likely agree with the philosophies of natural medicines or homeopathy or whom ever provided this magic water.
Also, I have never used words like "magic", "higher consciousness" or "heightened energy" to describe the physiological processes of drug or treatment function…. but oh yeah, she didn't provide the studies she said prove the cure for cancer…. so i guess i can't check if they did, but all their websites sure love those words, along with their youtube videos and publications, none of which contain accurately cited or supplied references. Although one did reference some ancient knowledge born in him from his ancestors. And a Myan scripture that apparently supported the 6 sided shapes in which the buildings around the spring he was at, proving it was protective and magical. But the Egyptians believed the pyramid was a good shape, but maybe his ancestors weren't Egyptian. or they don't matter because the building was 6 sided and that didn't fit.
Sigh, oh psuedoscience, how you twist your reasonings and proclaim to do good for power and control.

Thank you Fred!!! I appreciate your integrity!
I and many of my customers have been entering the raw food world over the last couple of years. There's lots of conflicting info out there that needs to be sorted through. Your bit here on acid/alkaline is the first thing I've read that feels right. I also just watched your lecture, what you say is not only common sense but also intuitively hits the spot for me.
You've got a new fan 🙂
dear fred,
brilliant expo. but i thought the issue was that sugar itself leaves an acid residue drawing down mineral reserves to process. so high sugar fruits will have the same effect as a candy bar in this regard! i know there is a debate about fruit sugars versus refined table sugars etc but in the context of hypoglaecemia. i totally buy the argument that fruit does not cause the same sugar rush as a candy bar but i still have a niggle about the acid residue from the sugar in the fruit.
Fred, I agree with you about fruit. It's preposterous to think that fruit could be bad in any way. For some reason, it seems to be trendy right now to be anti-fruit. I recently attended a conference for chiropractors and naturopaths, and they were all nodding their heads in agreement as the lecturer spoke of heavy meat and fat diet as being optimal, and blamed many illnesses on…fruit!!! How ridiculous is that? He even said that only 'healthy' people could get away with eating fruit, but only 1 or 2 pieces per day. Crazy!
It's common knowledge among alternative health practitioners that drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice will alkalize the body. How can this be when lemon is acidic? Because, it's not about whether the food itself is acid or alkaline, but about its reaction in the body. Even though fruits like lemon, berries etc. are acidic, they actually have an alkalizing effect on the body.
This isn't true of everything acidic. Sodas are also very acidic but have an acidifying effect on the body. When I give away alkaline water to people, I always know when they are sneaking sodas, because the sodas cancel out the alkaline water and they don't get results. Without fail, those who don't drink sodas or sports drinks get results. (Many people had already quit drinking sodas, and were already very health conscious for a long time, and they got a new level of health when they added the alkaline water. So no, it's not just because they quit the sodas, although that is obviously a factor for those who were soda drinkers.)
The point here is that I know from experience that adding lemon juice or acidic fruits doesn't interfere with the benefits of alkaline water, whereas adding soda does interfere. This shows that not all acidic substances react the same in the body. I don't know enough about chemistry to explain why this is so, but it's easily proven to be true, with simple observation. Those who eat lots of fruit, are vegan or high raw, including lots of acidic fruits, still do great and their urine pH stabilizes between 7 and 7.5, which is considered optimal by many alternative practitioners and is the threshold upon which we see dramatic healings occur.
But those who drink sodas, remain in the 6 or even 5 pH range. A single soda will mess them up for days.
Therefore, based on simple observation, it can be concluded that raw fruits, even the acidic ones, have an alkalizing effect on the body which is very positive, whereas acidic sodas have an acidifying effect on the body.
Another example is meat and dairy, both of which aren't acidic, but are acidifying. They have an acidifying effect in the body.
My conclusion is that all raw fruits and vegetables are alkalizing to the body and therefore good, whereas animal 'foods' (sic), and artificial drinks like sodas and sports drinks, are acidifying.
Thanks for the great article and thanks Angie for the information.
much appreciated!
Hi Fred,
For perfect balance your urine should be 6.4 and your saliva also should be 6.4
on the alkaline scale.That's slightly on the acid side.If your saliva and urine are both 6.4 your blood will be 7.2 to 7.4 which is perfect PH for the blood stream.
The above is part of the Biological Theory of Ionization by DR.Carey Reams.
Very interesting article and comments. I think, contrary to Angie, that a long time raw eater cannot die of cancer (until he has developed it before at such en extent that years of frugivorism were powerless to cure it !), because according to Dr Shelton, cancer is always providing from an infected body with animal proteins. There is no sudden and unexplained illnesses, all have their causes. What is said on inner and outside parts of body is also clarifying for me, because I found this notion a little bit "tirée par les cheveux", the intestines being the center of nutrition.
So, the salivary tests are quite unuseful. For me, I have a personal, cheap, permanently available barometer of acidity : a tooth ! When I have too much acid in my food, it begins to ring… Drrrrring ! If I hear its warnings, I will conserve it and my health !

Featured groups: AT&T National
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
BETHESDA, Md. -- When Adam Scott sank the winning putt at the Masters, he let out a "Come on Aussie, Come on!" Don't be surprised if you hear something similar this week at Congressional Country Club.
Scott is paired with fellow Australians Marc Leishman and Jason Day for the first two rounds of the AT&T National.
Here's a closer look at that group, and who else to keep an eye this week (click here for all tee times):
Adam Scott, Marc Leishman, Jason Day: Scott has a couple of top 20s since his Masters win, but hasn't been much of a factor. He has however finished third in this event each of the last two years. Likewise, Day has had success here, finishing eighth last year and second when the U.S. Open was held here in 2011. They'll tee off on 12:27 p.m. Thursday and 7:27 a.m. Friday.
Brandt Snedeker, Hunter Mahan, K.J. Choi: Congressional demands length and accuracy off the tee, which in part explains why Mahan has had some good showings here with a tie for eighth last year, a runner-up in 2009, a tie for 12th the year before and a tie for eighth in 2007. He's also in good form right now -- he shot 62 in the opening round at the Travelers Championship and finished fourth at the U.S. Open the week before. Choi, meanwhile, was the event's first winner, in 2007, and was second in 2011 when it was played outside Philadelphia. They'll tee off at 12:39 p.m. Thursday and 7:39 a.m. Friday.
Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Angel Cabrera: Two years ago, Congressional hosted the U.S. Open. Furyk and Cabrera have both won a U.S. Open. Furyk has also fared well here, twice tying for third and also finishing in a tie for seventh. Fowler arrives off a 64 in his final round at TPC River Highlands last week. They'll tee off at 7:27 a.m. Thursday and 12:27 p.m. Friday.
Ken Duke, Billy Horschel, Nick Watney: Duke is fresh off his first career victory, which came in his 187th career start on the PGA TOUR. Horschel is having a career year with seven top 10s, including his first career win. He also was in contention at the U.S. Open, where he tied for fourth. Watney has won this event before (when it was at Aronimink) but comes into the week off three straight missed cuts. They'll tee off at 7:39 a.m. Thursday and 12:39 p.m. Friday.

MADRID — The first question people in the United States ask about Ricky Rubio these days is simple: "When is he coming to Minnesota?" The answer is complicated.
Rubio, who was drafted fifth over all by the Timberwolves in 2009, is set to play his second season with F.C. Barcelona, one of the strongest clubs in Europe.
"He has a buyout at the end of next season, and that will be a more appropriate time to talk to him more specifically about that," Minnesota General Manager David Kahn said. "All in due time. He's 19."
Rubio's buyout is considerably lower than the figure of more than $4 million set by his former team, Joventut. That is important because N.B.A. teams are allowed to pay only $500,000 of a player's buyout.
But the prospect of an N.B.A. lockout, which some have forecast as a strong possibility for 2011, could interfere. Why would Rubio leave when he can make a hefty salary in Europe?
In the N.B.A. in 2011, he would earn about $2 million, his slotted salary for his draft spot. If Rubio waited until 2012 or was forced to wait because of a lockout, he could earn considerably more.
For three years after a player is drafted, he is essentially locked into a salary slot. It is one reason many European players wait a few years before coming to the United States. That situation could change with a new collective bargaining agreement.
But for now, everyone will wait and see.
"Ricky will be very successful," Kahn said. "No matter what he does in basketball. I just think in effect he's been proving himself on someone else's dime. That's not such a bad thing."
Rubio dismissed the notion that he did not want to play for Minnesota, one of the league's smaller markets.
"Everyone is talking like Minneapolis is not a good city to live, but I think that it's a great city to live," he said. "O.K., the weather is not so good. But there's a lot of things to do there, a lot of sports to watch and centers to go. I think it's a great city."

Re: Australian Gold Panning Championships in Tasmania
Thats a great idea phil. If advertised properly and was held at the right time of the year, we might get a really good turn out. Theres a lot of people fossicking and prospecting these days. The wife and i just sent off our application papers to join PMAT just the other day which we've been meaning to do for way too long! Not sure how many members PMAT actually has but it can never have to many. In saying that, Anyone that is Not a member of PMAT should become a member instead of just sitting on the fence. Not a great deal has changed in tha past 200 years in regards to our mining rights and no doubt there will be further restrictions imposed on us as time goes by. The more numbers a group has, the more likely the group will be heard.

Steamspur Mountains
Edit Page Last Edit:
The Steamspur Mountains mark a natural barrier between Ascalon (to the east) and Orr (to the south, across the sea). The high elevations of Timberline Falls and Mount Maelstrom soon give way to the swamps of Bloodtide Coast and Sparkfly Fen. These mountains may offer salvation: they provide a natural barrier against the undead making their way inland, through the marshes. Steamspur Bay is the body of water east of this area.
Over the past 250 years, a volcano became active in the Southern Shiverpeaks and thawed the mountains.
For the purposes of the Explorer achievement, the zones comprising the Steamspur Mountains are considered to be part of either the Shiverpeak Mountains or the Maguuma Jungle (despite the latter being on the far side of the Sea of Sorrows). As such the Steamspur Mountains do not mechanically "exist".

I had some siding that was needed in my home. I needed flooring, bathroom repairs, painting, ect. Burnette Construction did the work efficiently, I had no complaints. Their rates were reasonable, which I appreciated in this economy. Also there was no drama! My friend hired a contractor to do some repairs, He failed to tell her of her dry rot problem in her laundry room, and decided just to cover over it. After having to hire someone else, plus 800$ later things were back to normal in her house. I am really glad I called Burnette Construction in Kingwood first.

Jay-Z Imitated by Affion Crockett in Rocawear Ad
Comedian Affion Crockett has taken his mimicry to new heights.
After spending years imitating rappers like Lil Wayne, Drake and Kanye West, the hip-hop impressionist has now not only scored his own Jamie Foxx-produced Fox sketch comedy show, 'In the Flow With Affion Crockett,' he is also the star of a new ad for Rocawear, imitating the company's owner, Jay-Z.
Appearing in the spoof of Jay's infamous 'D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune),' Crockett announces the "death to other clothes," rapping, "This is anti-other clothes/ Death to your wardrobe/ This ain't for linen pants/ This ain't for plush robes/ This Young Carter at the opera, fitteds on/ I get thug in ya church with my denims on."
Crockett then segues into a send-up of French hip-hop dance duo Les Twins' interpretive Rocawear ad, to the tune of Jay's 'Venus vs. Mars,' dancing comically.
'In the Flow with Affion Crockett' premiered Sunday (Aug. 14), on Fox.

The uniaxial ratchetting characteristics of fibre glass reinforced epoxy laminate have been investigated in the present project. The specimens were subjected to cyclic axial stress with a constant mean stress of 40 MPa and a varying amplitude stress of 26.67 MPa and 53.33 MPa. Tests were also performed on 50 mm diameter, Glass fibre Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) straight pipe. The pipe was subjected to a constant internal pressure of 1.875 MPa and a cyclic axial load. The finite element model in ABAQUS has also been simulated in similar loading case. The comparisons between experiment and simulation results were observed. The effect of fibre orientation on the rate of ratchetting was also investigated at the present project. The uniaxial and biaxial ratchetting strain was observed to increase with a number of cycles but decreased the rate of ratchetting. The specimen showed no further ratchetting rate and exhibited shakedown after some strain accumulation. On the basis of experiment and simulation, it appears that ratchetting would occur in the circumferential direction for a composite pipe subjected to constant internal pressure and cyclic displacement with no ratchetting observed in axial direction. A direction in fibre orientation seemed to have effect on the rate of ratchetting. Thus, the increasing of fibre angle from the axial load axis will increase the rate of ratchetting.

It's a Cards Diaspora holiday tradition: the 12 Days of Cardinals Crapmas, where we find the worst items that someone might be tempted to gift. All previous days are linked at the bottom of this post.
Toys generally don't make any sense.
Some cursory research reveled that this Christmas parents were fighting over the following: Fultterbye Pink Flying Flower Fairy, Furby Boom, Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow Blaster, The Gross Electronic Talking Puppet… and my personal favorite, the First Royal Talking Vanity.
Why you crush American dreams KATE!
So to see some pretty innocent Cardinal figurines packaged together, it was what it was. Pretty vanilla. Likely to make a kid happy for 10 minutes before they want to play on the iPad again.
Then I looked closer.
Is that a freaking umpire? Is that really part of the three pack? I mean, I was a pretty big baseball fan as a kid and never, EVER, did I want to play with an umpire doll.
At the very least this should be marketed as a 2 pack with a bonus umpire. But in no way can you call it a Cardinals three pack and include the umpire in the three.
Not fair.

Having built webapps in Java and PHP, I have been curious about ASP.NET. So I decided to teach myself some basic ASP.NET programming by building a useful webapp. A common problem that I've faced going for dinners/movies/shopping with other single friends is splitting bills and keeping track of who owes who how much. It is typical in the plastic money era for us not to have any cash on ourselves. So when they bring the check it is quite tedious to request it being charged to 8 different credit cards with varying amounts. We end up with just one or two of us paying on behalf of others who try to remember the small debts they owe. Three or four such transactions per week and an ever growing social network of friends makes tracking these debts pretty hard.
So I built a webapp called 'Paisa' (hindi for 'Money') to try to solve this problem. Members can charge other members the amounts owed and clear payments received. They can also split a bill among multiple payers with custom ratios. Transactions added send an automatic e-mail to the people involved.
It is a pretty simple app that runs on ASP.NET and uses SQL Server 2005 (express edition should be fine) as backend. It uses Database Mail, a feature of SQL Server 2005 for queuing e-mail messages and delivering them via an SMTP server.
If you think this is handy, send me an e-mail and I can give you the source code so that you can customize it for yourself.

In the quest to discover and re-discover fun places to eat in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, this week's feature is Golden Dragon Chinese Mandarin Restaurant at 2023 Harbor Blvd. in Costa Mesa.
Golden Dragon is a favorite spot among locals craving Chinese food.
There isn't an outside dining area, so it's not pet friendly, but they sure are people friendly. As we entered, owner Mama Chi greeted us and then proceeded to hug everyone in our party before ushering us to our table in the large main dining room. Apparently she's been greeting diners to her establishment in this fashion for more than 30 years.
Looking at the menu, prices are reasonable, with most dishes in the $9.95 to $14.95 price range.
While most dishes are intended to be shared family style, the lunch and dinner menus do offer single-plate combinations.
Combos on the dinner menu are served with egg roll, fried wonton, wonton soup and egg fried rice.
Choices here included sweet and sour pork or chicken, orange peel chicken, Kung Pao chicken and Mongolian beef, all $9.95.
Lunch combos include fried rice and the appetizer and soup of the day. Entrée choices include chicken, pork or vegetable chow mein, $7.25, black mushroom with pork, $8.25, broccoli beef $8.50 and sautéed hot shrimp, $10.25, among many offerings.
Try the appetizer platter, $11.50, which includes wonton, shrimp, egg roll, ribs and paper-wrapped chicken.
Dumplings – fried or steamed – come eight per serving, $7.95, and are another good starter choice.
Soups can be ordered to serve two or four people. Choices here include, sizzling rice soup, with shrimp, pork, chicken veggies and crispy rice, $7.25/ $10.95.
Egg flower soup is made with egg, chestnut, peas and mushrooms, $6.25/ $8.50.
The menu includes many traditional Chinese dishes like Egg Foo Yung, $7 to $8.95, depending on your choice of chicken pork, beef or shrimp.
Golden Dragon also offers an extensive selection of chicken, pork, tofu, duck, beef, seafood and noodle dishes. It also has a full bar.
If you're allergic to MSG, I suggest you mention that upon ordering.

[781] Wales Township was organized in 1841, with Clark S. Cusick, Supervisor. It forms one of the finest agricultural districts of the county; is well watered by Pine River and Perry Creek; is girt by the Chicago & G. T. R. R. and the Detroit & G. T. R. R., and within easy distance of the county seat. Among the first permanent settlers were John Lamb, N. Bartlett, William Chortier, Joshua Tompkins, the Kings and others named in the list of original entries.
The United States lands in this township were first purchased in 1836. The buyers of that year were Abner Coburn, Joseph Pitcairn, S. Mosier, J.L. Barton, E.A. Seymour, Henry Mandel, Elias Eddy, Orus Field, Benjamin F. Tower, Edwin Jerome, Serino Smith, N. Dickinson, William Kellogg, William H. Haggerty, Ebenezer Williams, Linus S. Gilbert, Curtis C. Gates, Avery W. Stowell, Bowen Whiting, Henry J. Avery, H.F. Stockbridge, Samuel B. Linscott, Luke Hemmingway, T.J. Dudley, A.

Ludden, Hiram Sherman (1837), Anthony Wells (1837), Joseph Chortier, Isaac Hall, Samuel Ufford, Hamilton Morrison, John Beach, Phineas Davis.
The population in 1845 was 114; in 1864, 1,010, and in 1880, 1,820. The area is 23,520 acres, and the equalized valuation $361,735. In 1881, there were 656 school children enrolled.
Grange Lodge, No. 450, of the Patrons of Husbandry of South Wales, was established in 1876. The installation of officers of the Patrons of Husbandry took place January 15, 1876, at the Wales Schoolhouse. The Acting Master, Joshua Tompkins, was the installing officer. His opening address, in explaining the duties of the thirteen officers composing the Grange, was lucid and eminently to the point. This old gentleman deserves more than a passing notice. He is the first man that ever entered the primeval wilderness of Wales, over forty years ago, and has lived on the same spot where he then pitched his tent, a good citizen, highly respected by his neighbors and all who know him. There were none else of the old settlers of early days present, but John Lamb, Sr., now nearly eighty years of age, as fresh and agile as a man of forty years, and, like his neighbor, Mr. Tompkins, highly respected. The following were the officers installed: Master, John A. Lamb; Overseer, Thomas Dunning; Lecturer, David Hawkins; Steward, Jerome Harp; Assistant Steward, Charles Reich; Chaplain, Eli Dutton; Secretary, Melvin Lamb; Treasurer, Abram Yarger; Gate Keeper, James Hill; Ceres, Mrs. James Hill; Pomona, Julia Tompkins; Flora, August Reich; Stewardess, Mrs. Nettie Jeffers. The concluding sentences of the installation were that, directly or indirectly, no partisanship should be exercised by one brother with another, in politics or religion, and only a word of honor vow being administered.

The book Tombstone, about the famine of 1958-1962 which occurred under the rule of Mao Zedong, has recently garnished considerable media attention. Here are some resources:
- BBC Radio Four has selected Tombstone as Book of the Week, and you can listen to 15-minute audio excerpts from the book online beginning here.
- The Wall Street Journal has written a review, A Most Secret Tragedy.
- The Economist has written a review, Millenial Madness.
While the death through starvation of 36-45 million Chinese is indeed a terrible tragedy, it might make sense to ask "Why should someone living in 2012 care?"
There are several reasons:
- The current rulers of China were children when this tragedy happened, and even though it was not widely discussed, it was part of their formative experience.
- While the political and tragic economic policies under Mao are a thing of the past and belong to history, the party has adapted many of its policies to create a new reality.
- While today's China is vastly different and richer than the China of fifty years ago, it continues to be ruled by the Chinese Communist Party, the same party which presided over the famine. This party operates to serve the interests of its leaders first, its members second, and the Chinese people third.
China's opening up was the result of the party's desperation in 1979; it was basically bankrupt after Mao's endless political movements. This is very different from the party's current narrative, that it had worked hard to make China a wealthy and strong nation, and all of the Chinese people should be grateful for their wise policies. Basically the first 30 years of the People's Republic, from 1949 to 1979, was about endless political movements and tragic economic policies.
With continuing heavy-handed policies and its incessant paranoia about social stability, especially in the run-up to the new Chinese leadership succession, the party reminds the Chinese people that although its political and economic policies have changed, at its core, it is the same party which presided over the famine and its coverup.
The author, Yang Jisheng, was a journalist for Xinhua New Agency (the party's official news agency), which made it possible for him to gain access to secret party archives and records. While his book was banned, he continues to be a party member, and serves as an editor for a pro-reform party magazine based in Beijing Yanhuang Chunqiu.

In celebration of the Cannes Film Festival, which starts tomorrow, we caught up with the event's star jury member Diane Kruger to find out what she's packing for France. "I feel like the Riviera, for whatever reason, has invited designers to be quite outrageous," the actress told us at a luncheon for luxury timepiece label Jaeger LeCoultre. "People allow themselves to be extravagant. They play it a little less safe. It's a big spectacle." Find out what's in Kruger's Cannes suitcase in the gallery, and check back tomorrow for updates from the Cannes red carpet.

Know the Laws: Nebraska
UPDATED August 18, 2016
A domestic violence protection order is a civil order that provides protection from harm by a family or household member, including former or current dating partners.
This section defines abuse for the purposes of getting a domestic violence protection order. The following acts are considered abuse (domestic violence) when they occur between family or household members:
In Nebraska there are ex parte temporary protection orders and final protection orders.
Ex parte is a Latin term meaning "from one side." These orders are called ex parte because you may receive them without prior notice to the abuser or his/her presence in the courtroom. When you file your petition for a protection order, a judge can issue an ex parte order if s/he has reason to believe that you are in immediate danger of being abused based on your affidavit or your statements.* If the judge does not give you an ex parte order, the judge should schedule a hearing within 14 days where the abuser can be present and you will have to prove that the order should be issued.**
If an ex parte order is issued, it will be served upon the abuser along with a form for the abuser to request a "show-cause hearing" in which the abuser would appear in court and show cause (evidence) why the order should be dismissed -- and you would present evidence why you should keep the order. If the abuser wants to request a show-cause hearing, s/he has to return this form to the clerk within 5 days of receiving the order and the hearing would be scheduled within 30 days. If the abuser cannot prove that the order should be dropped or does not appear at the hearing, the temporary ex parte order is now considered to be a final order.* A final protection order will last for 1 year.***
An ex parte order or a final protection order can order the abuser to:
Whether a judge orders any or all of the above depends on the facts of your case.
You must file the petition in district court and the case may take place in either district court or in county court.* In the petition, you may be asked to include whether you want the case to be heard by a county court judge or by a district court judge.** However, just because you choose a particular court, it doesn't mean that the case will necessarily go to that court. If you are unsure of which court to request, you might want to ask an attorney in your county to see what the difference is (if there is one). For courthouse locations in your area, see NE Courthouse Locations. To find legal organizations, go to NE Finding a Lawyer.
You may be eligible to file for a domestic violence protection order if you have been the victim of abuse by one of the following family or household members:
If you do not qualify for a domestic violence protection order, you may qualify for a harassment protection order. See our Harassment Protection Orders section for more information.
In Nebraska, you may apply for a domestic violence protection order against a current or former same-sex partner as long as the relationship meets the requirements listed in Am I eligible for a domestic violence protection order? You must also be the victim of an act of abuse, which is explained here What is the legal definition of abuse in Nebraska?
There is no fee for filing for or serving a protection order. However, the judge may order you to pay fees and costs if the judge determines that the statements in the petition were false and that the protection order was sought in "bad faith." Furthermore, at the final hearing, a judge may order the respondent to pay these costs.*
No, you do not need an attorney to file for a protection order, but it is generally better to have one, especially if there will be a hearing or if the abuser is represented by one. A domestic violence organization in your area may be able to refer you to an attorney or legal aid service that will take your case for free. Often, domestic violence organizations can help you through the process if you do not have an attorney. To find a lawyer or legal aid program in your area, please visit the NE Finding a Lawyer page. To find a domestic violence organization, fo to our NE State and Local Programs page.
Go to the district court to file your petition.* You can find a court near you by going to our NE Courthouse Locations page. Once in court, find the Clerk of the District Court and request a petition for a protection order. You can also find links to the form online by going to NE Download Court Forms. Carefully fill out the forms. Write about the incidents of violence or abuse, using descriptive language (slapping, hitting, grabbing, choking, threatening, etc.) that fits your situation. Be specific. Include details and dates, if possible. If your petition is based on threats rather than a physical incident, write about how the threats affected you. If the threats made you fearful, you can explain why the threat caused you fear (for example, perhaps due to past behavior/threats). If the fear has affected your daily activities (for example, causing you to change your routine, etc.), you can explain how the fear has affected your life in this way.
A domestic violence organization may be able to provide you with help filling out the form. See NE State and Local Programs page for the location of an organization near you.
Note: Do not sign the petition until you have shown it to a clerk, as the form may need to be notarized or signed in the presence of court personnel.
After you finish filling out your petition, bring it to the court clerk. The clerk will forward it to a judge. The judge may wish to ask you questions as s/he reviews your petition. The judge will decide whether or not to issue you an ex parte order. The judge can issue an ex parte order if s/he has reason to believe that you are in immediate danger of being abused based on your affidavit or your statements.* If the judge does not give you an ex parte order, the judge should schedule a hearing within 14 days where the abuser can be present and you will have to prove that the order should be issued.**
If the judge issues you an ex parte order, it will be served on the respondent (abuser) along with a form for the abuser to request a "show-cause hearing" in which the abuser would appear in court and show cause (evidence) why the order should be dismissed. Note: If the abuser wants to request a show-cause hearing, s/he has to return this form to the clerk within 5 days of receiving the order and the hearing would be scheduled within 30 days.* If the respondent does not request a hearing, then the order will remain in effect for one year.**
The courts will forward copies of your papers to law enforcement, who will then try to serve the papers.*** In order for the papers to be served upon (legally given to) the abuser, the sheriff will go to the abuser's home, work, or other place s/he can be found to hand him/her the papers. If, for example, you believe that serving the respondent at his/her work will endanger you, you can include this information in the forms that you fill out and request that the abuser not be served at work. The order is not valid until law enforcement has served the respondent.
There may or may not be a hearing. If the judge does not give you an ex parte order, the judge is supposed to schedule a hearing within 14 days where you can better prove your case.* If the judge does grant you an ex parte order, there will only be a hearing if:
There are several things that you may want to consider doing upon leaving the courthouse. You will have to evaluate each one and see if it is safe for your situation. You may want to:
You can call the police or sheriff, even if you think it is a minor violation. An abuser can be arrested, fined and/or jailed. A violation of a protection order can be a Class I misdemeanor; and for repeat violations, a second conviction can be a Class IV felony.*
Nebraska law requires that an arrest be made if "probable cause" exists that the respondent violated a domestic abuse protection order.** If you feel that law enforcement officers did not respond according to Nebraska law, you should contact an attorney to discuss the issue and to see what legal actions can be taken. Go to our NE Finding a Lawyer page for legal referrals.
If the police become involved, it is generally a good idea to write down the name of the responding officer(s) and his/her badge number in case you want to follow up on your case. Make sure a police report is filled out, even if no arrest is made. If you have legal documentation of all violations of the order, it may be useful in the future.
Nebraska law does not allow a protection order to be extended. If you feel that you still need a protection order and your current protection order is about to expire, you should talk with an attorney or victim advocate to determine what options may be available to you, such as possibly filing for a new order. Go to our NE Where to Find Help page for referrals to local advocates and attorneys.
Your order is good everywhere in the state. Additionally, federal law provides what is called "full faith and credit," which means that once you have a protection order, it follows you wherever you go in the United States, including U.S. territories and tribal lands.
Different states have different rules for enforcing out-of-state orders. You can find out about your new state's policies by contacting a domestic violence program, the clerk of courts, or the prosecutor in your new area.
You may want to call the court where you originally received the order to tell them your new address so that they can contact you if necessary - be sure to let them know if the address is confidential and ask how to make sure it cannot be accessed by the respondent.
To read more about this, please visit our Moving to Another State with a Protection Order page.

The initial design was ultimately deemed unacceptable and a new design was completed in the 1990s with a much smaller reservoir. In 1996, Eletrosul put the project out for project-sector development and a group of 11 companies, 7 private and 4 state-owned, joined to implement the scheme. The plant cost $618mn (excluding interest) and took five years to complete. The rockfill dam is 126m high and 700m long.
