- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper discusses instantaneous characteristic of adaptive detection of harmonic based on Least Mean Square (LMS). To deal with the contradiction between convergence rate and steady-state error of detecting harmonic, this paper proposes a novel algorithm which adapts dynamic detection of iteration process. Theoretical analyses and simulation results show that the proposed method can detect harmonic effectively.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: As the work frequency is very low, the Optimal Unsymmetrical PWM Method is suitable to be applied in high-power situation requiring control of fundamental and harmonics simultaneously, which will reduce the switch loss and the EMI greatly. Because of the low work frequency, the optimal unsymmetrical PWM method requires optimizing each independent switch angle in order to achieve good control effect, and it needs to solve the nonlinear equations on-line inevitably to obtain the switch angle. A new algorithm by combining the predominance of the Newton and homotopy algorithms is proposed, which can effectively realize switch angle on-line computation with relative high convergence rate. At last, this paper validated the real-time performance and the effectiveness of the switch angle algorithms on the experimental platform with the control core of TMS320F2812.
Conference Paper: An Improved Modulation of the Selective Harmonic Elimination Controlling[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In the application of the traditional selective harmonic elimination technique, the lowest un-eliminated harmonic and the total harmonic distortion factor are obviously enlarged usually, which would do great harm to the power system. In order to solve the problem, this paper presented an improved harmonic elimination technique. In this new technique, a new circuit topology is proposed and only a small additional direct current source is added. In the time of eliminating the selected harmonics just like the traditional SHE-PWM technique, the system total harmonic distortion factor will reduce greatly, and the switching frequency in the circuit is only half of the traditional SHE-PWM technique, so the system performs better and the latter filter circuit could be of small size. In the analysis, it is clear that the traditional selective harmonic elimination is only a special example of the improved harmonic elimination technique, so the improved harmonic control technique will be more flexible and have better behavior than the traditional selective harmonic technique. In the end, the Fourier analysis in an example validates the feasibility of the improved harmonic elimination technique.
Conference Paper: Harmonic Detection Based on the TLS Estimation Algorithm[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Based on the Newton learning algorithm, a new algorithm for TLS estimation and its application in harmonic detection is presented in this paper. It is shown that the LMS algorithm and constrained anti-Hebbian algorithm are two examples of the proposed algorithm in this paper. To solve the contravention between the detecting precision and speediness, analog detecting architectures are studied. The simulation results show that its noise rejection capability is superior to those of the LMS and constrained anti-Hebbian algorithms and the new algorithm gives faster convergence and better precision than another two methods
Conference Paper: An Improved Support Vector Machine Method for Harmonic and Inter-harmonic Detecting[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Based on the linear regressive model of support vector machines, iterative re-weighted least squares of the support vector machines for signal spectral analysis is introduced by virtue of abstract expressions of cost functions, and the uniform mathematical analytical expression of support vector machine for solving the problem of signal spectral analysis is obtained. And a new method is presented by changing resolution, namely defining the range of spectrum by taking advantage of wide range with rough resolution at first, and then using narrow range with high resolution. The simulation has showed that this method solves the problem of large calculation and slow calculating speed
Conference Paper: The topology and control of a new hybrid power filter[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A new topology of hybrid power filter is proposed in this paper, which consists of a C-type filter and an active filter. The application of C-type filter not only reduces the rating of active filter but also prevents the resonance occurring significantly when proper parameters are used. The iterative learning control (ILC) method is applied to the realization of harmonic compensation. In this paper, both the topology and the control method are discussed. Experimental results based on the proposed topology and control method are presented
Conference Paper: Interharmonic Detection Based on Support Vector Machine[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Support vector machine (SVM) based on the principle of structure risk minimization provides a new perspective in machine learning, and has been successfully applied to many areas in the last years, especially for pattern recognition and function fitting. In this paper, because of the adjustable resolution of the SVM algorithm, a new way to measure interharmonic is put forward, namely using wide analytical domain of frequency with low resolution at first and then using narrow analytical domain of frequency with high resolution to obtain the frequency spectrum of the signal. And based on this new method, the interharmonic detection system is designed and implemented with the prevailing and powerful software platform of LabVIEW with graphical nature
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Lots of structures of hybrid power filter are produced consisting of tuned filter and active filter. It can reduce the rating of active filter and cost of the harmonic compensators, and also can improve the compensation performance compare to the passive and active filter using alone by preventing the resonance occurring. However, the resonance still may occur under some condition. A new hybrid power filter by employing an active filter and C-type filter is proposed in this paper, which can reduce the rating of this harmonic compensator, and moreover, the resonance can be suppressed reasonable. A simulation result is presented in this paper, it proves that this kind of topology is effective on the harmonic compensation and elimination of resonance
Conference Paper: Dead Time Compensation for General-purpose Inverters[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In this paper a method is proposed for compensating the dead-time in a synchronous rotating reference frame, which is suitable for general-purpose inverters. A simple and practical instantaneous harmonics current detecting method is introduced, which realizes a special filter based on DFT (discrete Fourier transform). The amplitude of this filter is 1 in first-harmonic frequency, the amplitude is 0 in other harmonic, and the phase of the filter is 0 in first-harmonic frequency. The filter can follow the fundamental wave in one period. Firstly the FIR filter is designed and its coefficients are worked out in this paper. Then the recursion of filtering algorithm is obtained according to the response character of the filter, and the calculation is thus greatly simplified. One result of the output only needs two multiplications and two additions. The theoretical analysis and simulation have shown that this filter not only takes advantages of digital filters in the accuracy, but also overcomes the bad dynamics performance
Conference Paper: Model of the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor on the bias of the field orientation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: There is a bias between the estimated flux-orientation of a motor and its real flux-orientation in a vector control system. The paper presents the model of the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) on the previous bias, and designs an experimental verification. The experiment removes the difficulty to measure a continuous force of the PMLSM's mover, and has advantages of easy operation and high precision. The tested results are used to control the PMLSM drive system for the maximum efficiency.
Conference Paper: An active AC bridge with adaptive current orthogonal decomposition for precision measurement of dielectric loss angle[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: With adaptive orthogonal decomposition of reactive and active current, an active AC bridge, which is implemented by employing analog circuit, is introduced. Its application in measurement of dielectric loss angle for high voltage insulation apparatus can eliminate the effect of harmonics of testing voltage, reduce leakage resistance and capacitance and ease high resolution. Moreover, determination of the reference voltages for orthogonal decomposition and the dynamical characteristics of the bridge are presented.
Conference Paper: Fuzzy frequency conversion driving system based on DSP and IPM[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Based on digital signal processor (DSP) and intelligent module (IPM), this paper provides an example of vector control frequency conversion driving system, in which the fuzzy control algorithm is employed to improve control performance. The speed loop and current loop are employed in the frequency conversion system, where speed loop adopts automatic tuning control of fuzzy parameter, and the current loop adopts PI control.
Conference Paper: Hybrid multi-agent based modeling for MIS in electric power enterprise[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper introduced the concept and modeling of agents and three manners of multi-agent systems (MAS). On the basis of MAS, this paper presents a modeling method for management information systems (MIS) to overcome the shortage of information transfer manner in electric power enterprises.

"Wartburg near Eisenach Page" Top 5 Page for this destination Wartburg by egonwegh
Wartburg Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 127 photos
April 2007 - Panorama of the Wartburg and detail of the entrance gate. The Wartburg, perched on a hill above the city of Eisenach, is the archetype of the German medieval castle. Several rooms inside the castle can be admired during a guided tour, e.g. the Sängersaal, the Friedenssaal, the Elisabeth Kemenate and the Lütherstube. In this last room Martin Lüther translated the New Testament from the Greek source text into German.
As a matter of fact, this was our second visit to the Wartburg, we'd been here before in 1997. The history of the castle goes back to before the year 1100, so in its long history our two journeys up the mountain can be seen as two visits with only very short intervals inbetween.
Legend would have it that the castle was founded by Landgraf Ludwig 'der Springer' who pronounced the famous words: "Wart Berg, du sollst mir eine Burg werden". Translated into 21st century rapper English that would be 'Hey mountain, just you wait and see, soon you'll be a castle to me'.

CNN @BrookeBCNN: Veterans causing the Baltimore riots
One of the tropes following most of America's wars has been the maladjusted, drug addicted, pathological and violence prone veteran. While many associate that image with many films involving Vietnam (for instance, Rolling Thunder, any of the Rambo films) actually the image is quite old. Crime reports and popular literature following the Civil War featured opium addicted war veterans, war veterans who were emotionally damaged, | Read More »

Demographic Research Demographic Research tag:www.demographic-research.org,1999:journal Copyright (c) Max-Planck-Gesellschaft 2016-04-27T00:00:00Z Union dissolution and migration (by Thomas J. Cooke, Clara Mulder, Michael Thomas) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-26 2016-04-27T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
While there is a limited body of research regarding residential mobility and migration following union dissolution, there is a particular dearth of studies that go into detail about the factors that shape how union dissolution may result in long-distance migration.

OBJECTIVE
This research isolates and identifies the processes that influence inter-state migration in the period immediately following the dissolution of a marital union.

METHODS
Multilevel logit models of the probability of inter-state migration following the dissolution of marital unions are estimated using data drawn from the 1975 through 2011 US Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID).

RESULTS
The results provide support for a gendered model of family migration, indicate that separated parents are less likely to migrate than ex-partners without children, and suggest that the migration decisions of former partners may remain linked through their children even after the end of their union.

CONCLUSIONS
These results indicate that the migration of separated parents is constrained by the need for parents with joint or shared children to remain in close geographic proximity to each other. Since both the number of children living with separated parents and the number of those parents with joint or shared custody are increasing, it is likely that this plays some role in the long-term decline in US migration rates.

 Pioneer settlement of U.S. immigrants: Characteristics of pioneer migrants and places (by Douglas Gurak, Mary M. Kritz) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-25 2016-04-26T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
Research on immigrant dispersion to new U.S. destinations has not addressed the question of how place and individual characteristics influence pioneer settlement. While origin-group social networks influence immigrants' settlement choices upon U.S. arrival and secondary destination decisions within the USA, other factors must be important when immigrants move to places where they have no compatriots.

OBJECTIVE
By examining national origin differences in pioneer migration for ten Asian and Latin American national origin groups, our goal was to determine whether and how they differed in their pioneer settlement responses to economic, demographic, social, and pan-ethnic labor markets conditions.

METHODS
We used 1990 and 2000 confidential decennial census data because they have sufficient sample cases and geographic detail to study national origin differences. We estimated two types of model for each origin group: a zero-inflated Poisson model that identifies the place characteristics associated with higher pioneer settlement counts in the 1990s and a logistic regression model that identifies the individual characteristics of immigrants who settled pioneer places.

RESULTS
The major context correlates of pioneer settlement were 1990 population size, the pan-ethnic presence of foreign-born from each group's origin region (Asia or Latin America), and the lack of a significant agricultural presence in the labor force. The logistic models indicated that pioneers were likely to be internal migrants rather than recent immigrants, fluent English speakers, and residents of relatively dispersed places prior to moving to pioneer labor markets.

CONCLUSIONS
The analyses showed the importance of secondary migration and prior dispersion from gateways for pioneer settlement. They also revealed considerable national origin heterogeneity in pioneer settlement dynamics and indicated that national origin differences merit further attention.

 Intergenerational money and time transfers by gender in Spain: Who are the actual dependants? (by Elisenda Rentería, Rosario Scandurra, Guadalupe Souto, Concepció Patxot) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-24 2016-04-19T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
The analysis of intergenerational transfers can shed light on the interaction between population age structure and welfare. Nevertheless, a thorough examination of this issue requires consideration of both monetary (market) and time (non-market) transfers.

OBJECTIVE
We analyse market and non-market production, consumption, and transfers by age and gender for Spain from 2009−2010 using National (Time) Transfer Accounts (NTA and NTTA) methodology.

METHODS
Using National Accounts, microdata from different surveys, and the Time Use Survey, we estimate age and sex-specific profiles of monetary and time production and consumption for Spain. Consequently, a surplus or deficit and the resulting transfers are obtained.

RESULTS
We observe higher labour income for men with respect to women throughout the age profile. Nevertheless, women spend more hours in total (market and non-market activities) than men. This division drives an asymmetry in private transfers. While men are net donors of money to other age groups during their working life, women are net donors of time to other household members (mainly children and their partners) over their lives.

CONCLUSIONS
The inclusion of the non-market economy in the analysis of intergenerational transfers is crucial to observe real inequalities between genders throughout the life cycle. This challenges the 'economic dependency' of women based on a market economy. The results suggest that the public sector in Spain should reinforce policies that take into account women's contribution to the welfare of other population groups, and call for policies that reconcile professional and family obligations.

 Types of social networks and the transition to parenthood (by Daniel Lois) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-23 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
A growing body of literature acknowledges the importance of social interaction and ideational factors for generative behavior. Building on this research, the present study identifies specific types of social network and gauges their value for predicting fertility behavior.

METHODS
Based on data from the German Family Panel (N = 3,104 respondents aged 20 to 42), four types of ego-centric social networks were identified using cluster analyses. Clusters were used to prospectively predict the transition to parenthood using a discrete-time event history analysis.

RESULTS
In the event history analyses, the highest propensity to start a family was found for 'family-centered' social networks, which were characterized primarily by a high share of persons with young children, a high amount of network support in case of parenthood, and a high proportion of strong ties to members of the nuclear family. By contrast, respondents who were embedded in 'family-remote' networks had the lowest transition rate to parenthood. Family-remote networks were characterized by a high share of friends and acquaintances, a high proportion of weak ties, and a low amount of social support and social pressure. Regarding selection effects, a comparison of cluster affiliation over time does not consistently confirm that persons who start a family select themselves into 'fertility-promoting' network types. In sum, the results enhance our understanding of how mechanisms of social influence and structural features of ego-centric social networks are interlinked.

 Differences in all-cause mortality: A comparison between immigrants and the host population in Norway 1990-2012 (by Astri Syse, Bjorn H. Strand, Oyvind Naess, Ólöf Anna Steingrímsdóttir, Bernadette N. Kumar) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-22 2016-03-30T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
Differences in all-cause mortality between immigrants and host populations may provide insight into health inequities that could be reduced.

OBJECTIVE
Death risks of adult immigrants were compared to those of the host population to assess effects of country of origin, duration of residence, calendar period, and sociodemographic characteristics, i.e., sex, education, and marital and parental status.

METHODS
Registry data encompassing the entire Norwegian population age 25-79 in 1990-2012 were used to compare death risks in various immigrant groups and the host population, using discrete-time hazard regression models with time-varying covariates.

RESULTS
Over 451,000 deaths occurred in around 4.4 million individuals. After adjusting for sex, age, and calendar period, immigrants had an 8% survival advantage (odds ratio (OR) 0.92). Death-risk estimates for immigrants were lowered pronouncedly by further adjustment of sociodemographic factors (OR 0.81). The greatest survival advantage was observed among immigrants with a short duration of residence. With increasing lengths of stay, immigrants' risk of death became similar to that of the host population. The survival advantage was most pronounced for younger, unmarried, and childless immigrants. Although the survival of Central and Eastern European immigrants improved over time, none of the groups had a higher adjusted death risk than the host population.

CONCLUSIONS
Immigrants have a 20% survival advantage compared to the host population. The convergence in mortality with increasing duration of residence suggests that 'healthy migrant' and 'acculturation' effects counteract each other, and warrants further research on the health and welfare of long-term immigrants.

 Transnational relationships and reunification: Ghanaian couples between Ghana and Europe (by Kim Caarls, Valentina Mazzucato) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-21 2016-03-24T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
The ability of couples to migrate together or to reunify in the destination country is increasingly limited because family reunification laws are becoming more stringent, especially for those moving from the Global South to the North. However, little is known regarding migrants' reunification behavior.

OBJECTIVE
We examine the prevalence of couples living-apart-together-across-borders (LATAB), the duration of their separation, and under which conditions they remain transnational or reunify in the destination country.

METHODS
Using data from the MAFE-Ghana project, we focus on LATAB couples among Ghanaian migrants living in the Netherlands and the UK (n=291). Event history analyses are used to examine the probability of reunification. We consider characteristics of the migrant, the left-behind spouse, their relationship, and the receiving country context.

RESULTS
Couples remain separated for extended periods of time. Just over half of the couples in the Netherlands and the UK reunified: approximately half did not. Reunification is less likely in the Netherlands than the U.K. and is less likely since 2004, when reunification policies became stricter. Spouse's education is a significant factor in explaining reunification, but, surprisingly, legal status is not. Being able to maintain transnational ties through short return visits increases the likelihood of LATAB.

CONCLUSIONS
Findings reveal that LATAB relationships are a common, long-term arrangement among Ghanaian migrants.

COMMENTS
These results emphasize the relevance of including partner characteristics at both origin and destination. Furthermore, comparing two destination countries shows that destination country context is important in understanding migrants' decisions to live transnationally or reunify.

 Diverging patterns of fertility decline in Uruguay (by Mathías Nathan, Ignacio Pardo, Wanda Cabella) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-20 2016-03-23T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
The total fertility rate (TFR) in Uruguay fell from 2.5 to 1.9 children per woman between 1996 and 2011. However, no study to date has examined the decline of the TFR by observing changes in fertility patterns by birth order.

OBJECTIVE
The main aim of this study is to analyze recent changes in fertility level and timing of childbearing by birth order in Uruguay.

METHODS
We estimate unconditional and conditional age- and birth-order-specific fertility rates for 1996-2011 using data from vital statistics, population census, and national population estimates. Additionally, three period summary measures of birth-order-specific fertility quantum are calculated: TFR, PATFR and TFRp*. Timing changes by birth order are examined with MAB and TMAB, focusing on MAB1 and its standard deviation and comparing their evolutions in Uruguay with those of selected countries.

RESULTS
Fertility decline fits a parity-specific stopping model with a moderate increase in the mean ages of first, second, and third births. The distribution of conditional fertility rates for first and second births depicts an asymmetric bimodal shape linked to the increasing heterogeneity of the timing of childbearing. Compared to countries with similar fertility trends, heterogeneity in the age at first birth in Uruguay is remarkably high.

CONCLUSIONS
Previous studies suggest that heterogeneity in first and second birth timing is related to structural social inequalities, as women from lower social strata have not significantly changed the age at which they bear a first child, whereas women of middle to high social strata have started to postpone it. The new evidence reinforces the idea that postponement transition in Uruguay cannot be studied without considering this consolidation of social status polarization in fertility timing.

 Forgotten marriages? Measuring the reliability of marriage histories (by Sophia Chae) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-19 2016-03-22T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
Marriage histories are a valuable data source for investigating nuptiality. While researchers typically acknowledge the problems associated with their use, it is unknown to what extent these problems occur and how marriage analyses are affected.

OBJECTIVE
This paper seeks to investigate the quality of marriage histories by measuring levels of misreporting, examining the characteristics associated with misreporting, and assessing whether misreporting biases marriage indicators.

METHODS
Using data from the Malawi Longitudinal Study of Families and Health (MLSFH), I compare marriage histories reported by the same respondents at two different points in time. I investigate whether respondents consistently report their spouses (by name), status of marriage, and dates of marriage. I use multivariate regression models to investigate the characteristics associated with misreporting. Finally, I examine whether misreporting marriages and marriage dates affects marriage indicators.

RESULTS
Results indicate that 28.3% of men and 17.9% of women omitted at least one marriage in one of the survey waves. Multivariate regression models show that misreporting is not random: marriage, individual, interviewer, and survey characteristics are associated with marriage omission and marriage date inconsistencies. Misreporting also affects marriage indicators.

CONCLUSIONS
This is the first study of its kind to examine the reliability of marriage histories collected in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa. Although marriage histories are frequently used to study marriage dynamics, until now no knowledge has existed on the degree of misreporting. Misreporting in marriage histories is shown to be non-negligent and could potentially affect analyses.

 Generations and Gender Programme Wave 1 data collection: An overview and assessment of sampling and fieldwork methods, weighting procedures, and cross-sectional representativeness (by Tineke Fokkema, Andrej Kveder, Nicole Hiekel, Tom Emery, Aart C. Liefbroer) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-18 2016-03-15T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
The Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) was developed to stimulate the study of a broad range of topics of relevance to population scientists. So far, at least one wave of the GGS has been conducted in 19 countries. If scholars want to use the GGS for comparative purposes, it is essential that there be cross-national equivalence in terms of survey implementation and representativeness.

OBJECTIVE
The two main goals are (1) to describe the main features of the implementation of the GGS in participating countries, and (2) to describe and evaluate the quality of the data collection of the GGS in terms of its cross-sectional representativeness.

METHODS
We use weighted and unweighted GGS data for 18 countries and compare this to country-specific information.

RESULTS
The quality of sampling and fieldwork procedures of the GGS is generally good. On average, response rates in the GGS are comparable to those in other cross-national surveys. After weighting, the data are generally representative in terms of age, gender, region, and household size, but less so for marital status and educational attainment. Implications for future waves of the GGS are discussed.

 Does grandparental help mediate the relationship between kin presence and fertility? (by Kristin Snopkowski, Rebecca Sear) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-17 2016-03-10T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
Previous research suggests that kin availability may be correlated with reproductive outcomes, but it is not clear that a causal relationship underlies these findings. Further, there is substantial variation in how kin availability is measured.

OBJECTIVE
We attempt to identify whether different measures of kin availability influence how kin affect reproductive outcomes and whether the effect of kin on reproductive outcomes is driven by the help that they provide.

METHODS
Using data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (1993, 1997, 2000, 2007), we compare the survival of parents and parents-in-law, their co-residence, geographic proximity, contact frequency, and helping behavior in predicting fertility outcomes, and test a hypothesized causal pathway linking kin availability to reproduction via helping behavior.

RESULTS
We find different results if we operationalize parental availability as survival or co-residence, suggesting that these measures cannot be used interchangeably. Receiving help from parents or parents-in-law has a positive effect on progression to birth when women have fewer than three living children. Path analyses show that geographic proximity is associated with contact frequency, which in turn influences helping behavior. Kin help has a positive effect on progression to giving birth for all parental categories, but the effects are strongest for mothers-in-law.

CONCLUSIONS
In Indonesia, kin availability has a positive effect on fertility only when kin provide help, suggesting that there is a causal relationship between kin availability and fertility which is mediated via the provision of help.

 Transition to adulthood in China in 1982−2005: A structural view (by Felicia Tian) tag:demographic-research.org,1999:34-16 2016-03-04T00:00:00Z BACKGROUND
The transition to adulthood has increasingly been postponed, shuffled, and individualized in the United States and Western Europe. Less is known about changes in the transition to adulthood in non-Western countries, especially whether they follow a similar pattern of change. Moreover, the existing literature uses diverse indicators to measure the transition to adulthood, which makes the cross-national comparison even more difficult.

OBJECTIVE
This article takes a structural view to examine changes in the transition to adulthood in China, which has the largest youth population in the world and which has experienced rapid social change since reform in the 1980s.

METHODS
The analysis uses data from 1982, 1990, and 2000 censuses and a 2005 mini-census. It treats participants aged 18−30 as synthetic cohorts and examines changes in three structural features of the transition to adulthood: timing, sequencing, and heterogeneity.

RESULTS
Though school completion and entry into the labor force have been notably delayed, only minor delays have occurred in marriage and parenthood. Some individualization occurs in urban residents, but the pathway remains relatively structured and follows a very ordered sequence.

CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest stability in the transition to adulthood amidst rapid social change in China during these twenty years.

Struggling gray whale being monitored in Puget Sound
Apr/28/16 07:01 PM
After repeated scans of the surface of Puget Sound's Central Basin from the Alki Lighthouse to Lincoln Park, the whale was sighted a couple of hundred yards off of Beach Drive - the mottled gray hump of the whale's back barely visible in the mottled gray waters.
Last night, there was an unconfirmed report of what was believed to be a gray whale, slowly drifting south from Shilshole near Seattle's Golden Gardens park. Members of the Marine Mammal Stranding Network were put on alert and kept in close contact regarding the animal's location.
Throughout the morning, Seal Sitters' volunteers kept a wary eye on the lethargic gray, who was gradually straying out into the main channel shipping lane and at risk for ship strike. Kristin Wilkinson, NOAA's regional stranding co-coordinator for the West Coast MMSN, was alerted and sent out a notice to the Coast Guard, who broadcast that mariners should avoid the area and keep a distance of 100 yards at all times. Read more about ship strike dangers on our website. Identification photos were sent to Cascadia Research to see if the whale has been in Washington waters before.
The whale was last sighted on the opposite side of the channel and was being monitored offshore by a State Parks ranger.
Each year, gray whales make the long, strenuous migration from Mexico's Baja California lagoons, headed for summer feeding grounds in Alaska. Along the way, a number of those grays venture into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the inland waters of Puget Sound. Some, like the whale known as Patch, return annually to forage on the nutrient-rich beds around Whidbey, Camano and Hat islands.
Others are not strong enough to make the 10,000 mile-long journey and perish in our waters. The outcome for this latest gray whale does not look encouraging.
Thanks to our Seal Sitters volunteers who peered through binoculars for hours, keeping tabs on the whale's behavior and bearings to help keep the animal safe from danger.
All sightings of whales and other cetaceans should be reported as soon as possible to Orca Network via email. Gray whales have mottled gray skin with a distinctive series of knuckles along the back. Humpbacks and other whales have dorsal fins.
If you see a whale entangled or stranded onshore - please call the NOAA West Coast MMSN Hotline immediately at 866-767-6114, giving location and species information. Gray whales do strand somewhat frequently in our waters.
If a whale is along the shoreline of West Seattle, please call the Seal Sitters MMSN hotline at 206-905-SEAL (7325) and then contact Orca Network. This will help enable our first responders to obtain an i.d. photo if at all possible.
Seal pup Doodle visits not once, but three times today
Apr/09/16 08:30 PM
Thru binoculars, the long stretch of shoreline of Fauntleroy Cove, historically important to Native Americans and one-time site of an ancient burial ground, was carefully scanned. There was no sign of anything between the tideline and woody debris high up near the houses.
Resigned that the pup must have been scared into the water, the responder noticed a furry little shape - nestled in the shadow against a wooden raft, half in the water at such a low tide, far down the beach. Sure enough, there was the pup. And sure enough, there were off leash dogs headed his way. The responder established a wide perimeter, stretching yellow tape between stakes and driftwood. As the tide rose, the alert pup moved a few feet onshore. After resting about an hour, the approximately 7-9 month old pup swam off and disappeared into the blue waters.
The stranding materials were removed from the area after ensuring the pup didn't have plans to return. The First Responder made the long trek back down the beach, south and around the Point, headed to her car and, theoretically, home. Just as she reached the car, neighbors said a pup crawled ashore about 50 yards away. Once again, tape was stretched and neighbors enthusiastically welcomed our presence and offered assistance. A call was placed to volunteer coordinator Arden and soon volunteer Sarah eagerly showed up to lend a hand.
The pup, nicknamed Doodle, rested somewhat nervously until about 4pm and, once again, swam off.
Huge thanks to Sarah, who has faithfully used Seal Sitters' online "Doodle" volunteer calendar and entered available times every week for many, many months. Because our pupping season had been so strangely quiet and virtually no weaned pups using the shore over the winter, she had never had the opportunity to protect a pup - until today.
Please call Seal Sitters' hotline at 206-905-SEAL (7325) if you see a seal onshore. Because of the high number of off leash dogs along Lincoln Park, Fauntleroy Cove and beaches south, it is especially important to have volunteers on-site so seal pups can rest and warm up, free from harassment and harm.
Gray whales return to Puget Sound
Apr/08/16 05:46 AM
All sightings of whales and other cetaceans should be reported as soon as possible to Orca Network via email. The photo at left shows the typically mottled skin of a gray whale with a distinctive series of knuckles along the back. Humpbacks and other whales have dorsal fins.
If you see the gray whale back in the Locks - or any whale entangled or stranded onshore - please call the NOAA West Coast MMSN Hotline immediately at 866-767-6114, giving location and species information. Gray whales do strand somewhat frequently in our waters.
If a whale is along the shoreline of West Seattle, please call the Seal Sitters MMSN hotline at 206-905-SEAL (7325) and then contact Orca Network. This will help enable our first responders to obtain an i.d. photo if at all possible.
Spring marks the return of gray whales to Puget Sound. Before continuing their 10,000 mile-long migration from the sheltered breeding grounds of Mexico's Baja California lagoons to their summer feeding grounds in Alaska, these gentle giants detour into our inland waters to forage.
Grays are baleen whales, who forage by scooping up and straining huge quantities of ocean bottom sediment (which contains invertebrates) through their comb-like filters. Along the shores of Whidbey, Hat and Camano islands are beds of ghost shrimp, a favorite food. At low tide, you can often see hollowed out areas of beach where the whales have been feeding. Sadly, a whale can also scoop up human trash that settles on the sandy bottom.
Each year, a number of gray whales take up temporary residency in north Puget Sound, sometimes wandering down into central and south Puget Sound. This spring offers a wonderful opportunity to get out on whale watch boat and observe them from a safe distance. It is imperative that their foraging behavior not be disrupted, so they have the energy to continue their monumental journey north. All marine mammals are protected by Federal law from harassment, the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
A dead gray whale was sighted on the 18th, floating off the waters of Vashon Island. Today, a team from Cascadia Research Collective necropsied the whale, a young male, who has been confirmed as the same gray seen in the Ballard Locks. Read Cascadia's report here.
Chubby rehabbed pup Paz returns home to Puget Sound
Mar/08/16 12:07 PM
In December, the female pup was suffering from seizures on a cold and wet afternoon at Jack Block Park, notorious for illegally off-leash dogs. Seal Sitters first responders, authorized members of NOAA's West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network, transported the hypoglycemic and largely unresponsive pup for evaluation at the Lynnwood facility, fearing she would require euthanasia. PAWS rehabbers were able to stabilize and hydrate her and Paz began a long recovery after a tenuous couple of weeks.
Severely emaciated and weighing only 12.8 kgs when rescued, the estimated 7-9 month-old pup was a true "blubberball" at her release on Monday, tilting the scale at 35 kgs (75 lbs). Pups are weaned around 4 weeks of age and are then entirely on their own, often struggling to survive wet fall and winter months. Click here to view a map of harbor seal pupping season in Washington.
It should be noted that only members of NOAA's Marine Mammal Stranding Network - or their authorized agents - can legally handle and transport marine mammals. It is a violation of Federal Law to touch, feed, move or harass marine mammals. If you see a seal pup on the beach, please contact your local stranding network (network map here).
Thanks to PAWS dedicated staff for nursing the pup back to health. Huge thanks as well to the US Coast Guard Auxiliary boat crew that released Paz back where she belongs, the culmination of a true team effort (view a video of the release on USCG Facebook page).
Sad end for harbor seal pup rescued from beach
Feb/27/16 12:12 PM
After observing the pup's non-responsive behavior, first responders Robin and Lynn scaled the slippery boulders below the sea wall to prevent him from drowning in front of onlookers. The pup was gently carried away from the water's edge. A call was placed to the rehab facility to make sure that the pup could be received for evaluation and humane euthanasia if necessary. Volunteers Buzz and Gretchen made the long drive in rush hour to deliver the pup to PAWS.
A review of id photos of pups from the 2015 season and responses early this year revealed that this pup was not known to Seal Sitters.
WDFW Marine Mammal Investigations Unit, a fellow member of NOAA's West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network, will perform a necropsy to determine cause of death. The pup would have been born in Puget Sound last year. Harbor seal pups are weaned and on their own after nursing 4-6 weeks.
Thanks to a recent fundraising campaign, Seal Sitters volunteers and supporters have raised money to pay for blood and tissue tests to help offset Federal cutbacks in funding for research. These tests provide valuable data and insight into the mortality of harbor seal populations and help identify disease trends in marine mammals. If you would like to make a donation to help fund this research, please click here.
If you see a seal or sea lion onshore, please allow space and stay back - and call Seal Sitters' dedicated hotline @ 206-905-SEAL (7325).
Seal pup snoozes on a sunny day in the park
Feb/24/16 07:27 AM
A concerned neighbor asked if he could make signs to warn people, especially those with dogs, that a seal had been using the beach to rest. He was encouraged to spread the word in the neighborhood.
A second call into the hotline around noon was of the same pup at the south end of Lincoln Park's Colman Pool, a highly trafficked pedestrian area. The pup was snoozing soundly at the water's edge, but as the tide rose over the next few hours, he/she kept scooting higher on the beach.
On this nice day, quite a few people stopped to ask questions of volunteers Buzz, David, Jonel and Dana who came down to help out. The afternoon sunshine coated everything with a golden haze, so the pup was named Dusty. Dusty was eventually engulfed by waves and swam off shortly after 3pm.
Thanks to everyone who gave Dusty some "chill" time on shore.
Seal pups in two locations keep responders on the run
Jan/26/16 01:52 PM
The tide was low, however, and the pup made a quick move toward the safety of Puget Sound. After lingering briefly in the water which lapped the shore, he swam off and headed north. The responders checked both north and south of the pool for about 30 minutes, but saw no further sign of the pup. They spoke with people about seal pup health and behavior and distributed educational materials before leaving the park. This pup seemed relatively healthy in appearance and body weight.
A second pup was reported at 5pm along the Alki Promenade beach stairs, but the pup was gone when volunteers arrived. It was the same location where a pup had been seen resting on shore on January 20th.
Seal pup Ziggy snoozes in the wee hours
Jan/19/16 07:06 AM
Convinced the pup was probably using the beach each night, our responder was out in the rain at 6:30am to see if the pup was there. Indeed, she found a quite small seal pup sound asleep at the water's edge. The entrance to the small beach was immediately taped off to prevent access. Due to the early hour and inclement weather, the park was deserted. Over the next few hours, only a handful of diehard people exercising their dogs stopped to inquire about the seal, who moved up into the rocks with the incoming "king" tide. The pup, nicknamed Ziggy, returned to Elliott Bay about 9:30am as the tide swept in and over the log he was sleeping behind.
Ziggy is not one of the few pups we looked over last year and is estimated to be anywhere from 5-7 months old (pups are born in South Puget Sound from late June - September). Like most weaned pups, he seems to have some winter respiratory issues. Undisrupted rest is critical to Ziggy and other underweight weaners, who can't afford to waste calories being chased back into the cold January waters. They need to rest and warm up.
A second seal pup seems to be sleeping on a different beach during the late night/early morning hours as well. This is a much safer scenario than coming ashore on crowded urban beaches during daylight hours.
If you see a pup onshore, please allow space and stay back - and call Seal Sitters' dedicated hotline @ 206-905-SEAL (7325).
Warmest wishes for the holiday season

'Tis the season to reflect on all of the good things in our lives. Seal Sitters is so grateful for our dedicated volunteers and supporters. We cannot provide safety for marine mammals without you!
We are also incredibly grateful for this opportunity to help wildlife; the joy of earning the trust of a wild being and making a difference in his/her survival is truly unsurpassed.
Seal Sitters wishes all of you a wonderful holiday season and coming new year.
Christmas seal Paz improves in rehab
Dec/29/15 03:11 PM
Paz, who was suffering from seizures, was rescued by Seal Sitters first responders from a West Seattle public beach early in the evening on the 22nd.
Examination at PAWS revealed that in addition to suffering from emaciation and hypoglycemia, Paz also had lung worms, but was not stable enough to be treated for the parasite load. Underweight seal pups with weakened immune systems often become infested with parasites during the cold, wet fall and winter months, which can result in serious respiratory issues and pneumonia. It is great news that Paz has the strength to start treatment to clear her lungs of dangerous parasites. She will continue to be closely monitored by PAWS' rehab staff.
We are encouraged that Paz, a tiny pup measuring only 83cm in length, is on the mend enough to be enjoying swims in a big pool, complete with a green astroturf haulout (photo above). Her rehabilitation will be lengthy and Paz still faces many difficulties on an uphill road to recovery.
Seal pup Paz receives present of kindness and rescue
Dec/24/15 08:09 PM
Early Tuesday evening on the public beach at Jack Block Park, a harbor seal pup was rescued by Seal Sitters first responders. The thin pup was having seizures. After a call to PAWS Wildlife Center to ensure that staff would be available after hours, the barely responsive pup was carried from the beach as a cold rain began to fall and driven to the treatment facility in Lynnwood.
It was our fear that the pup would need to be euthanized, but she showed signs of life when examined at PAWS. Late the following afternoon, we received the good news that the small female had managed to survive the night and was in "critical, but guarded" condition. She was emaciated, weighing only 12.8 kgs (close to birth weight) and quite hypoglycemic. Further tests were being run and we will keep you posted on her progress.
We can't thank Raina, Ashley and other PAWS' staff enough for staying late to accept the pup, nicknamed Paz ("peace" in Spanish), and provide care for her as she faces many challenges in the days ahead.
Seal Sitters hopes Paz will be a true Christmas miracle. There would be no greater gift this holiday season than her recovery and return back to the wild, a healthy and chubby seal.

Extremely perceptive and personable.
I am probably among Dr. Mathur's first patients, with my visits beginning when he was still practicing in La Plata, around the corner from what was then called Civista Hospital. He has always offered first-rate professional care & interest in one's life.
Isle an appointment for 1 pm and don't get seen until 2 pm. This happens way too much here they pack as many people in as they can get.
Great Dr and staff
Great doctor
He was kind and understanding during my appointment today. My Doctor has much improved his Bedside manner. I am a 50 year baby when it comes to a needle he got me past it real fast. Thank you Dr. Mathur
Dr Mathur is very thorough and all my questions always get answered. Most importantly I never feel my appointment is rushed. The office staff is great as well.
He is a good doctor very pleased with him and I have referred people to him
When I call for an appointment the receptionist is always pleasant. With my work schedule they accommodate me with the time that I need for an appointment. Dr. Mathur always greet me with a smile an addresses my health needs.
A experience and knowledge doctor
No issues with making appointments and seeing the doctor.
Dr. Mathur is an excellent doctor.
Great doctor; needs to work on timeliness.
Dr. Mathur and his staff always treats me well and they are very courteous and respectful. I have recommended Dr. Mathur to a lot of my friends; and they really enjoy his service. Dr. Mathur is one of the best doctor's in the metro area.
Very pleased and the visit was I informative.
Great Doctor all around.
dr mather and michsele and staff are as much my friends as they are my health provider I feel safe secure and confident in all the very professional care this dr and staff provide you may share this with others
My visit was very satisfactory and I look forward to my next appointment.
Came to doctor's office on time no one was there due to inclement weather
Was in and out in 15 minutes Dr Mathur is always very good !
Always helpful
he show's deeply concern for his patents.
Doctor personable yet very thorough
My visit today was pleasant. The nursing staff took vital signs professionally and accurately. Dr. Mathur please refill my medication - Atenonlol w/Chlorthalid (100/25)). Thanks
This has been my primary physician for years. I would not trade him for anyone else. He is very caring, professional and knows his stuff. I trust this doctor and would recommend him highly.
Dr. Mathur was GREAT!!!!! The reason for the semi low rating; is from the receptionist, that was extremely rude to me. Even when I arrived for my appointment. She didn't smile and she still had a smart mouth. I suggest her for some training.
This was my first appointment & I really was impressed. The only reasons for rating 4 instead of 5 are more personal. I need to be told what is going on before it starts so explaining after could be fine for most people. Very complete appointment.
Dr. Nalin Mathur has been our family doctor for many years-- he is very attentive to patients concerns and keeps his practice clean and up-to-date with current technology. I highly recommend him for primary care.
I needed to see a doctor that day and my primary doctors office was booked and could not see me until 2 days later. Dr. Mathur office was able to fit me in even as a new patient. He is now going to be my primary doctor.
It is hard to find a doctor that really makes you feel a great level of care and concern.i feel as if dr.Mathur is not only a doctor but a friend as well...I love his attention to detail and sense of humor,great staff and has even accommodated me
I thought things went well yesterday. I'm going to need a different antibiotic than the one prescribed for me because I can't take a penicillin-based antibiotic.
My concerns were addressed thoroughly and I appreciate the professionalism of the staff.
He will spend time with you and ask about your other health problems
Excellent medical care.
Dr. Mathur cares about his patients health and any concerns they may have. He is always attentive to his patients.
Dr. Mathur is the best. Very thorough and personable. Wouldn't go to anyone else.
It was ok. I do not like how he doesn't talk to you about whatever the problem is or how you got it or even what to do to get better.
seems like the doctor was in a hurry I didn't have time to get all my questions answered
He rushes and doesn't listen to concerns.
very nice doctor mathur and staff thankyou
Dr Mathur is a very caring doctor. He always goes out of his way to find the right way to treat your condition, I have been going to him for over 10 years
As always, Dr. Mathur & his staff were phenomenal!
I DIDN'T HAVE MAIN CONCERN EVALUATED - BLOOD AND URINE RESULTS NOT IN. i HAVE TO RETURN FRIDAY FOR RESULTS AND TO HAVE MY UNDERARM WOUND EXAMINED. NEED REFERRAL FOR NEUROLOGIST AND PAIN MEDICATION.
I'm pretty satisfied with Dr.Mathur. I only want to be told what he thinks is going on with me before giving a solution. For instance he gave me a cortisone shoot and prescription for my knee which did help but I wanted him to tell what was wrong.
Doctor relies on computer to the detriment of patient interaction. Very little eye contact, rushed. I'm diabetic and only response to my diabetes care is double medication. Did research on my own and learned that area hospitals have diabetic programs; doctor needs to be more open to other means of care other than medication.
Always a pleasure to see Dr Mathur. refreshing to see a doctor with personality and a sense of humor!
Best doctor in town.
Dr. Mathur and Staff are Wonderful. I was in and out in less then an hour. All my problems were addressed and I felt a sigh of relief walking out of the office. I would recommend Dr. Mathur to any one that needs a new primary care doctor.
Dr. Mathur genuinely shows care and concern for my health needs. He is efficient in finding solutions for my medical issues and is thorough when evaluating my overall health. I have recommended him to my family and friend
Dr Mathur is by far one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. He's very friendly and and knoledgeable. His staff is always very friendly and curtious. I love them and I have recommended him to all my friends and family.
At this point in time i have the following opinion: So far ...so good
Dr. Mathur office provide emergency appointments and a friendly staff. He is a wonderful doctor with a good personality.
Outstanding quality medial care! The best of the best. You couldn't pay me to switch primary care doctor!!!
I am already feeling a lot better, and he was more talkative this time!
Not only Dr. Mathur, but his office staff as well are always so friendly and caring. I would recommend this Dr's office to anyone who is looking for a great doctor.
Other than the wait time which I really can't complain because I called at 8:10 this morning and was able to get an appointment at 10:30 same morning. Friendly,professional, clean atmosphere.
As always I was able to get an appt. right away and the staff was very professional and kind. Dr.M took good care of me. I was in the waiting room a bit longer than usual but I knew the Dr. was coming in late that day so I'm sure that's why.
Dr Mathur has been my wife and my doctor for over 9 years. I would highly recommend him to all that need a General Practitioner for their health care.
Dr Mathur was very good about addressing all my issues. as well as my Daughter he was very concerned about her and what was going on with her. I just wish sometimes he would talk some more he is quiet but good.
Very professional and caring doctor. The staff is also good.
Dr. Mathur is clear and concise when he communicates. When he asks how you are and what has prompted your visit, he actually stops to listen. He is direct and thoughtful in his suggestions.
As usual, my visit was very personable and my concerns were addressed with utmost care and attention.
I have been a patient of Dr. Mathur for over 20 years. In fact, he was in a family practice, and when he went out on his own, I followed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Outstanding Doctor, Wish all of my family who has diabetes would go to him. He is great and very concerned about his patients health.
Dr Mathur is not only my Doctor but he is also a GOOD FRIEND
I was extremely satisfied with the staff and the service rendered by the Dr. !!!
Dr. Nalin Mathur and staff demonstrates professionalism, courtesy, compassion, & thoughtfulness during all my visits. They are a beautiful team of medical professionals who strives to meet their patients at their need....
Dr Mathur is very thorough and often checks on things I often forget. He also makes me feel like a person and not an object. He is a good person and excellent doctor.
michelle provided a quick appointment same day I requested with short notice I gave her and I appreciated that saw dr mathur and he provided excellent treating and exam for me I feel very confortable with dr mathur and his staff
Doctor Mathur was wonderful making me feel blessed to have found him.
Very good doctor, but I would like a little more time to discuss all my issues.
He was only interested in performing tests during my 1st visit that had nothing to do with reason I was there. I did get a blood test which he wouldn't share the results unless I agreed to make apptmt & pay add'l $25.00 copay.I won't be back!
Great guy! This was my first office visit and the hospitality was outstanding. I was so nervous when I first arrived, but after meeting the good doctor, he made me feel comfortable, reassured, and most importantly his bedside manner was great!
Thank you Dr Mathur !! And your wonderful staff
Always spot on with his evaluations and treatment he provides. The absolute best Doctor I have ever been too!!!
Dr Mathur is much more than a good Doctor, when you get to know him as I do after many years he is a caring family man and a friend. He is the kind of Doctor Who would care for you in your home if need be, just like the old days. Thank you Doc!
Dr. Mathur honestly cares about his patients. That is why I continue to go to him.
Very good doctor!
Good doctor. Seems very thorough.
I like the doctor and his personality, however I either wait over an half hour to forty five minutes to an hour in the waiting room or the back of the room only for the doctor to spend no more than 10 minutes with me when he comes in the room.
He is an outstanding doctor. We would recommend him to any one. He takes is time to explain every thing.
Great bedside manner. Blood work done on site.
I believe Dr. Mathur has special powers. He observes things that are going on with your body that you are not even aware of. Just a conversation with you and he can almost determine anything and everything that is happening with you. He is the best.
Dr. Mathur has been my doctor for 4 years and he always addresses my issues and makes me feel comfortable talking to him. His staff is very helpful and efficient. I would recommend Dr. Mathur to my Friends and Family.
Very reassuring to have a GP. Who could see exactly what problems need to be addressed within 15 minutes of meeting him. Good feeling to have support with health issues...
I had been in pain and trying to handle it myself with over the counter medicine, but it began to affect my work and home life. I called for an appointment, was seen the same day and Dr. Mathur knew exactly what it was; I am 100% better!
Very nice, answered questions
I felt Dr Mathur was a very good in addressing all my medical needs and he does an outstanding job in examining you to make sure you have no other medical problems.
Dr, Mathur is very personable and treats you like a person not a patient. He cares about what is going on.
Have been with Dr.Mathur for over 20yrs. Have the up most confidence in him.Highly recommend
I have been coming to Dr Mathur for many years. I have every intention of continuing.
Today was my very first meeting with Dr. Mathur and he made me feel very comfortable, and welcome. After just one appointment, I can already tell that I am going to like him, and have complete faith in him.
The negative was I had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes for a check up I scheduled weeks ago. The positive was Dr. Mathur was easy to talk to and seemed to be thorough. Also I was able to get my bloodwork done very quickly right in the office.
I would refer my friends to this doctor, he has very good bedside manner, he explains what he is doing and why. Over all very good doctor
Very fast friendly staff, addressed the issue, got me back to work quickly
I did not have an appointment. I was going out of town and needed my prescriptions refilled. Dr. Mathur and his staff has always accommodated me!!
he is addressing all issues and working with me to get everything back on track and straightened out. because of my own personal neglect. office staff is very friendly and personnal.
He is an outstanding doctor.
Dr. Mathur is a wonderful professional!
I didnt realize internal medicine does not do pap smears
Dr. Mathur is a knowledgeable physician who promotes preventative medicine and listens to the concerns of his patients.
The Doctor and Staff were Very Pleasant. The Office was Very Clean and Organized. I was able to make an appointment for same day service!!
I have learned over the years to trust his judgment, but that is only part of the story. He has a deep care that comes across in his manner and treatment.
My first visit was good the doctor listen to my concerns
Always good treatment
Great doctor. Excellent personality. Cares about his patients and does everything he can to help them with their health issues. Would certainly recommend to anyone.
All in a good first visit
Good doctor
Dr. Mathur is a great doctor. He keeps you informed and makes sure that you are given the necessary referrals, and go for whatever testing you need done. He has a great staff that supports his and your needs.
Very pleasant office staff. Overall experience was very well.
Dr. Mathur is a wonderful doctor. Friendly, attentive to your questions, easy to communicate with and will call you personal back regarding test results. I am glad I found a good doctor to handle my medical needs and concerns.
had a great experiance
Dr. Mathur has been my primary care provider for many years now. I have never had any issues with him or his team. His recent addition to having a Lab Corp tech in house is a most welcome addition.
I really liked the Dr . The staff were very nice . The turn around to set up another appointment was amazing .
Dr Mathur is a very caring doctor, very easy to get a appointment. I like it because he has early appointment times and Lab Quest right in the office,so when I need my blood work done , I just walk across the hall and it's done.
Dr.Mathur has the best overall practice I have ever had. A very caring person with the best plan of care for me. I have never felt like an account or how many patients left to treat, but as if I was I was the only person there for care and treatment.
The reason for the long waite was because I had no appointment. I called and was told that no openings and they worked me in. Thank you
The doctor and staff are very efficient and professional and friendly. I have been going there for many years
The Dr. and the staff are very polite and very little waiting time.Nice atmospphere, the Dr. is very knowledgeable
Dr. Mathur is a nice, calm, informative doctor who has a sense of humor. He makes you feel comfortable and he sends you to have regular testing done and sees specialists. He addresses your concerns. His hours are good and he accepts walk-in
Dr. Mathur always understands the problem and takes the action which is best for me. He believes in being preventitive rather than treating after the fact and I like that. I trust him 100%.
Really like my Dr. Mathur. I feel comfortable discussing anything with him and that's what you need and want in a doctor . He's our family doctor.
Very good he is excellent at his details to your health.
Dr. Mathur took time to listen and diagnose. Very gentle and manner foul.
I really needed somebody to listen to me.and he did in very professional way.
Doctor took care of me very well.
I feel this is a good doctor but he needs to slow down and give his patients more attention.
I am in the process of finding a doctor who will make me feel like he/she has time to listen to me and to diagnose my condition. Dr. Mathurseem to be only here for the money. Each time he gets a new doctor toy he tries to get me to be his guinia pig. I no longer want him to use his doctor toys on me. Mole remover,heart monitor, sleep apnea toy. No more , My days with him is over. I gained 50 lbs. taking a diabetic drug that he prescribed. He finally took me off of the drug after it was found to cause heart problems. Goodbye Dr. Mathur!!
I have been going to Dr. Mathur for quite awhile. He is the worst doctor I have been to. He has misdiagnosed me several times, causing me additional pain and additional expense for medications and specialists. When I have an appointment with him I always feel like he is in a huge rush (even when he doesn't have patients waiting). Several times he has not returned phone calls. His bedside manner is horrible.
great doctor,good manners
Great bed side manners,intelligent.

Ava brought her friends to one of her favorite places. She did not tell them what it was because she wanted to surprise her friends. Once they were inside the place, she brought them to a wall with four holes in it. She told them to stand next to a hole and wait. They all stood and waited while she rang a bell and suddenly a cock popped through each hole. Adas friends were shy at first and Ada showed them they could grab the cocks and stroke them. They all began jerking the cocks furiously. Then, Ada suggested they begin sucking the cocks and they did. Ada decided she wanted to get fucked. She bent over and got her pussy pounded through the glory hole. Finally, Ada told all the girls to pick a cock and make it cum all over.

I tried hoptimum a few months ago. As I was staring at options, a random woman demanded that I buy some, and she was big, so I did. I thought it was good although if I remember right, it ended with a bit of something less than perfect. Still, for SN, not bad at all.
Green Flash is a favorite, their IPAs especially. And I didn't mention it above, but I bought 15 gallons of it...
its my day off, i also generally dont work to 4 or 5 pm and dont get off till about 1am. That means my after work time is till 4am to 7am on workdays then i sleep till around 2pm.
on my days off i stay up later and sleep in more.
whats the problem?
im on a different schedule than you so that drinking before noon **** is irrevelent.
Drunk... .drunk... getting drunk
Jubelale is pretty decent.. there's just something about Deschutes beers that is strange to me... can't put my finger on it.
Ommegang's Adoration is where it's at as far as winter warmers go, imo.
