Kid Rock - Do It For You Lyrics
Kid Rock – Do It For You Lyrics
Been stiin alone
Thinking about the past
Another lonley night
Another empty glass
This path im walking
Always seems to lead no where
I wonder how much you think of me
How we used to laugh
How we used to be
It seems like freedom
Has never had a man so scared
Times might change
Love it comes and goes
How i wish i could have shown you
How deep for you my love goes
And i know this might seem crazy
I would end my life for you
You know i dont want to
But id do it for you
Hey id do it for you
I wonder how much you think of me
It hurts to think the past
Is all that you can see
Now it seems like freedom
Is better then the love we shared
[repeat chorus]
Listen to me
I wonder how long it takes to see
Theres nothing more i want
Then you here with me
Freedoms been knockin
But i refuse to let her in
Times may change
Love it comes and goes
How i wish i would have shown you
How deep for you my love goes
And i know this might sound crazy
I would end my life for you
You know i want to
Come back home and care for you
Baby id do anything for you
Id do anything for you

Taking clopidogrel and esomeprazole together decreases the effectiveness of clopidogrel. It's best not to take these 2 medicines together.

Nadler: New size rules fall short
Few rules issued by Small Business Administration officials for comment last year would have required small-business owners to annually recertify their eligibility for certain contracts reserved for them. Officials intended the rule to winnow small businesses that outgrow their size limitations during the course of a contract.
Many small-business officials complained that SBA's proposed rule didn't substantially change the practice of awarding contracts to firms that grew during the life of a contract.
Small-business owners should applaud the intent of ensuring that only small businesses compete for and receive small-business awards. They should also applaud SBA officials' determination to create the rule to help small businesses.
The proposed rule change was based on several assumptions. An important one was that the transition from being a small business to a business qualified to compete in a full and open marketplace occurs when a revenue threshold is passed. The simple fact is that crossing a revenue threshold does not make a company well-positioned to realistically compete fully and openly with competitors that may have billions in revenues.
Smaller companies seldom — if ever — are able to match the qualifications of large competitors, and government decision-makers are reluctant to accept the risk of choosing a smaller company when they could opt for a multinational one.
Moreover, the proposed rule could have had many other unintended results. Program managers and contracting officials might be reluctant to set aside opportunities because they may fear a small firm would become large within two or three years, forcing them to award another contract.
The proposed rule change could have forced agency officials to hold annual competitions on multiple-award contracts to replace graduated small businesses. This burden could severely discourage the use of small-business set-asides.
Larger, well-established contractors would have little or no incentive to team with transitional small businesses. Company officials would worry that the small-business credit required by many multiple-award contracts would not come to fruition when the small-business partner grows.
Additionally, officials at small but transitional businesses might be reluctant to spend thousands of dollars to bid on multiyear contracts, even if they possess the best qualifications and expertise, because they fear they may graduate from a particular size limitation.
The fact is that some larger companies generate more revenue in a week than some companies graduating from small-business designations generate in a year. As a result, their competitive position in the full and open marketplace presents a significant barrier to the growth — or even survival — of smaller companies. This is not wrong; it is simply reality.
SBA officials recognized that the health and competitiveness of the U.S. small-business community is best served if small-business award holders on multiple-award contracts are not required to recertify annually.

Statement by Judge in Los Alamos Case, With Apology for Abuse of Power
Published: September 14, 2000
Following is a transcript of a statement yesterday by Judge James A. Parker of Federal District Court in Albuquerque to Dr. Wen Ho Lee, who pleaded guilty to mishandling nuclear secrets, as recorded by the court reporter. At one point the federal prosecutor in the case, George Stamboulidis, defended his dealings with the defense lawyer Mark Holscher:
JUDGE PARKER -- Dr. Lee, you have pled guilty to a serious crime. It's a felony offense. For that you deserved to be punished. In my opinion, you have been punished harshly, both by the severe conditions of pretrial confinement and by the fact that you have lost valuable rights as a citizen.
Under the laws of our country, a person charged in federal court with commission of a crime normally is entitled to be released from jail until that person is tried and convicted. Congress expressed in the Bail Reform Act its distinct preference for pretrial release from jail and prescribed that release on conditions be denied to a person charged with a crime only in exceptional circumstances.
The executive branch of the United States government has until today actually, or just recently, vigorously opposed your release from jail, even under what I had previously described as draconian conditions of release.
During December 1999, the then-United States attorney, who has since resigned, and his assistants presented me, during the three-day hearing between Christmas and New Year's Day, with information that was so extreme it convinced me that releasing you, even under the most stringent of conditions, would be a danger to the safety of this nation. The then-United States attorney personally argued vehemently against your release and ultimately persuaded me not to release you.
In my opinion and order that was entered Dec. 30, 1999, I stated the following: ''With a great deal of concern about the conditions under which Dr. Lee is presently being held in custody, which is in solitary confinement all but one hour of the week, when he is permitted to visited his family, the court finds, based on the record before it, that the government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that there is no combination of conditions of release that would reasonably assure the safety of any other person and the community or the nation.''
After stating that in the opinion, I made this request in the opinion right at the end: ''Although the court concludes that Dr. Lee must remain in custody, the court urges the government attorneys to explore ways to lessen the severe restrictions currently imposed upon Dr. Lee while preserving the security of sensitive information.''
I was very disappointed that my request was not promptly heeded by the government attorneys.
After December, your lawyers developed information that was not available to you or them during December. And I ordered the executive branch of the government to provide additional information that I reviewed, a lot of which you and your attorneys have not seen.
With more complete, balanced information before me, I felt the picture had changed significantly from that painted by the government during the December hearing. Hence, after the August hearing, I ordered your release despite the continued argument by the executive branch, through its government attorneys, that your release still presented an unacceptable extreme danger.
I find it most perplexing, although appropriate, that the executive branch today has suddenly agreed to your release without any significant conditions or restrictions whatsoever on your activities. I note that this has occurred shortly before the executive branch was to have produced, for my review in camera, a large volume of information that I previously ordered it to produce.
From the beginning, the focus of this case was on your motive or intent in taking the information from the secure computers and eventually downloading it on to tapes. There was never really any dispute about your having done that, only about why you did it.
What I believe remains unanswered is the question: What was the government's motive in insisting on your being jailed pretrial under extraordinarily onerous conditions of confinement until today, when the executive branch agrees that you may be set free essentially unrestricted? This makes no sense to me.
A corollary question I guess is: Why were you charged with the many Atomic Energy Act counts for which the penalty is life imprisonment, all of which the executive branch has now moved to dismiss and which I just dismissed?
During the proceedings in this case, I was told two things: first, the decision to prosecute you was made at the highest levels of the executive branch of the United States Government in Washington, D.C.
With respect to that, I quote from a transcript of the Aug. 15, 2000, hearing, where I asked this question. This was asked of Dr. Lee's lawyers: ''Who do you contend made the decision to prosecute?''
Mr. Holscher responded: ''We know that the decision was made at the highest levels in Washington. We know that there was a meeting at the White House the Saturday before the indictment, which was attended by the heads of a number of agencies. I believe the No. 2 and No. 3 persons in the Department of Justice were present. I don't know if the attorney general herself was present. It was actually held at the White House rather than the Department of Justice, which is, in our view, unusual circumstances for a meeting.''
That statement by Mr. Holscher was not challenged.

I sold this for a loss and now it's barely down!!
So what do you buy ? I tried shorting the IWM with RWM but that didn't work.
Last time I was in AAL it was 38.00. Was looking to buy, but haven't followed it. Why has it dropped
so much more than DAL when it's cheaper? thanks
Sentiment: Buy
So what is the safest thing to be in aside from cash. He recommended short XLU and buy REM.
I was in RWM and SH. This market doesn't seem to want to go down.
From the chart TLT seems like the safest. How about JNK or PFF? At least you get a monthly div.
Any other suggestions?
Sentiment: Buy
So If nobody knows if the market will go up or down, what about the TLT ?
It's not very volatile and you get a monthly div. you don't get anything in SH or short the SPY, but what will happen if they raise the rates? Will the TLT drop a lot?
Even if you forget about the lousy div., in 3 months, SPY was down over 7% and TLT was only down about 3%.
I was in RWM, but that's a lot more volatile than SH, so I'm not in that right now.
What about the XLF ? It should go up if they raise rates but if the market drops. I guess
that will drop too. I 'd like to find something to trade with low volatility and a monthly
dividend, but I haven't found anything yet besides TLT.
Sentiment: Sell
Well Warren Buffet bought this too. I just bought today!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
WOW!! almost a dollar drop from the high. down 5%.
The only good thing is it's not marginable!!
I think its way too dangerous for me though. I'll probably
go back to RWM or SH. They don't drop so much!!, although
I buy them on margin.!!
Sentiment: Buy
The reason I went in VXX was because I expected the market to drop
a lot after the fed hike news, but I'm not doing too good right now. I bought at 16.20.!! Hope it's back up tomorrow, but since it's down so much and everyone expects the markets to correct I took a shot.
Sentiment: Buy
Thanks. So you watch the XIV when your in the VXX. Is that like when I'm in the
RWM, I watch IWM and SPY. I will check out the XIV. Is it the inverse of VXX?
Sentiment: Buy
It looks like you sold at a good price, down to 15.75 !! First time I've ever bought this. WoW, really volatile!!
I keep expecting this market to go down huge. I don't know what's keeping it up!!
Sentiment: Buy
Anybody buying the VXX ??
So when is the big sell off in SPY and IWM before or after 2:00 . I'm in RWM because it normally makes bigger moves than SH, so I'm hoping the IWM drops a lot.
I was in RWM yesterday morning and sold to buy GLD. That was a big mistake.!!
If the whole market drops wouldn't the IWM drop more than SPY?
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Carl has been very vocal in recent weeks in the media" about his negative views. 'We're much more concerned about the market going down 20% than we are it going up 20%. And so the significant weighting to the short side reflects that." Icahn was not on the call.
An investment fund run by the 80-year-old Icahn had a net short position of 149% at the end of the first quarter. Icahn is considerably more bearish than he was at the end of 2015, when the fund's net short position was 25%. A year ago, the fund had a net long position of 4%. It's rare to see a fund outside a dedicated short fund with such a large bearish stance.
The 149% net short position was disclosed by the management of Icahn Enterprises (IEP), which holds a $1.8 billion
Late last month on CNBC, Icahn warned "there will be a day of reckoning unless we get fiscal stimulus.
Are they going to raise rates?
No comments from the As Ho stock alert.I'm so tired of these jerks taking up all the message boards!!
I wish they're give it up already. No one reads them.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Is there anyway to watch CNBC live on your PC., sometimes the broker's stops working.
Sentiment: Sell
I just shorted XME today. I waited too long. Hope I didn't get in too late. Someone is putting a huge bet
that it goes down to 20.00 by sept ? Is that correct? It almost there!!
Sentiment: Sell
Looks good on a down market. Can it hit 31.60 today??
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I guess everyone is holding into earnings? I'm always afraid with most stocks but this usually has good earnings?? I just bought this today for first time.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Holly Shiete!! Glad I sold at 26.43 pre-market. My 1700 gain would have disappeared!!
Bought RWM. down a little but I'm not too worried. It won't make a big move like GDX!!
Bought Friday and sold at 26.43.I didn't even expect to get that so quick. Probably going higher, but I'm afraid of what happens if it drops.I missed the huge move up!!
I'm buying XLU if I get it at $48.00 today.
Sentiment: Buy

I am creating an iOS 7 app in which I'd like to have a SearchBar right bellow the NavigationBar, and I wanted them both to look like a single piece. Therefore I need to tint them with the same color (done already) and remove that hairline at the bottom of the NavigationBar and at the top of the SearchBar. How can I achieve that?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Officially, this is only possible by setting the
By using a custom background image, you would lose the blurred background translucency.
If you feel adventurous, the "hairline" is a UIImageView that is a subview of the navigation bar. You can find it and set it as hidden. This is what Apple does in their native calendar app, for example. Remember to show it when the current view disappears.
One way to remove the hairline on the top and bottom of a UISearchBar is to replace the background image with a stretchable one, that does not have that thin border. Simply make a square shaped png with the color of your choice, then:
Since the background is solid you can use pretty much whatever values you want for the insets.

Empress Gi (or Ki; Hangul: 기황후; 1315–1369/70), known as Empress Qi (or Ch'i; 奇皇后) in Chinese and Öljei Khutuk (Өлзий хутуг) in Mongolian, was one of the primary empresses of Toghon Temür of the Yuan dynasty and the mother of Biligtü Khan Ayushiridara. She was from a Korean aristocratic family.
Öljei Khutuk, the Mongolian name by which she came to be known, was born to Gi Jao (hanja: 奇子敖 ) in Haengju (hanja: 幸州 , modern Goyang) in Goryeo. She had an elder brother named Gi Cheol (hanja: 奇轍 , Mongolian: Bayn Bukha). She became a concubine of Toghon Temür and was the mother of Ayushiridara. Lady Gi (also known as Lady Ki) was born into a lower-ranked aristocratic family of bureaucrats.[1] Until the late 19th century, Korean society was divided into 14 castes with the royalty at the top and slaves at the bottom. In 1333, the teenage Lady Gi was sent as "human tribute" to China as the Korean kings had to provide a certain number of beautiful teenage girls to serve as concubines of the Mongol Emperors once every three years.[1] Lady Gi did not wish to leave her family in Korea, and was taken to China very much against her will as she had no desire to be "human tribute".[2] The concubines of the Emperor were his slaves and in effect the Emperor's harem was glorified sexual slavery. After she arrived in China, Gi chose to make the best of her situation by being the best concubine she could be.[2] Extremely beautiful and skilled at dancing, conversation, singing, poetry, and calligraphy, she quickly become the favorite concubine of Toghon Temür as she able to provide him with a degree of sexual satisfaction that his other concubines could not.[1] The Emperor fell in love with Lady Gi and it was soon noted that Toghon Temür was spending far more time in her company than he was with the first empress Danashri.[3]
After the primary empress Danashri was executed on 22 July 1335 in a purge because of the rebellion of her brother Tankis (Tangqishi),[4] When Toghon Temür tried to promote Lady Gi to secondary wife, which was contrary to the standard practice of only taking secondary wives from the Mongol clans, it created such opposition at court to this unheard of promotion for a Korean woman that he was forced to back down.[1] Toghon Temür tried to install Öljei Khutuk as the empress. However Bayan of the Merkid, who held real power, opposed it. In 1339, when Lady Gi gave birth to a son, whom Toghon Temür decided would be his successor, he was finally able to have Lady Gi named as his secondary wife in 1340.[1] As the favorite wife of the emperor, Lady Gi was a very powerful woman in China and as a result the "Korean style" in women's fashions and hairstyles become all the rage in China.[5] The "Korean style" also extended to ideals about female beauty, and after Lady Gi's rise, Korean concubines become very popular with the Mongol and Chinese elites as it become almost de rigueur for an official to have at least one Korean concubine as a status symbol.[5] When Bayan was purged, Öljei Khutuk became the secondary empress in 1340 (the primary empress was Bayan Khutugh of the Khongirad).
Toghon Temür increasingly lost interest in governing as his reign went on. During this time power was increasingly exercised by Lady Gi, who become the real ruler of China.[3] Gi had a special office devoted entirely to imposing taxes for her own personal use, and she became known for her corruption and lavish spending on palaces and luxury goods, making her a much hated figure in China.[3] In Korea itself, Lady Gi's family, who all enjoyed influential positions thanks to her power, were equally hated for their corruption.[3] Lady Gi had the Emperor gave her parents the titles of "king" and "queen" whom the official Goryeo king had to pay homage to, and the Gi family were infamous for abusing their positions to steal the property and slaves of other Korean aristocrats.[3] Lady Gi's older brother Gi Cheol was appointed the commander of the Mongol Eastern Field Headquarters-making him in effect the real ruler of Korea-owning to her influence.[3] Lady Gi never returned to Korea after being sent as "human tribute" to China, but she closely monitored Korean affairs, and warned her siblings and parents to try to control their greed as her family become more and more unpopular.[3] Her son Ayushiridara was designated Crown Prince in 1353. Using her Korean eunuch Bak Bulhwa (Hangul: 박불화; hanja: 朴不花) as her agent, she began a campaign to force the emperor to pass the imperial throne to her son Ayushiridara. However her intentions became known to the emperor and he grew apart from her.
Depending on Öljei Khutuk's position in the imperial capital, her elder brother Gi Cheol came to threaten the position of the king of Goryeo, which was a client state of the Mongols. King Gongmin of Goryeo exterminated the Gi family in a coup in 1356. Öljei Khutuk responded by selecting Tash Temür as the new king of Goryeo and dispatched troops to Goryeo. The Mongol troops were defeated by the army of Goryeo while attempting to cross the Yalu River.
Within the Mongol capital an internal strife was fought between supporters and opponents of the Crown Prince. An opposition leader, Bolud Temür, finally occupied the capital in 1364. Ayushiridara fled to Köke Temür who supported him, but Öljei Khutuk was imprisoned by Bolud Temür. Bolud Temür was overthrown by Köke Temür the next year. Once again, she tried to install her son as Khagan, this time with the support of Köke Temür, but in vain. After Bayan Khutugh died, Öljei Khutuk was elevated to the primary empress.
The collapse of the Mongol rule of China in 1368 forced her to flee to Yingchang. In 1370, Toghon Temür died and Ayushiridara ascended to the throne. Empress Gi became Empress Dowager, but soon after that went missing. The official History of Goryeo listed the Gi family under the section "Traitors" and devoted much space to denouncing Gi family for their arrogance and corruption.[5] Likewise, after the Ming dynasty to power in 1368, an official history of the Yuan dynasty was written where Lady Gi was singled out as one of the main reasons for the fall of the Yuan.[3] In her own lifetime, Lady Gi was hated figure in both Korea and China, but as the effective ruler of China (a nation whose population numbered about 60 million in her lifetime) during the later part of Toghon Temür's reign made her the most powerful Korean woman in history, making her the object of enduring fascination in Korea, all the more so because of the traditionally low status of women in Korea.[3]

The Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate (SONIA) was established in 1997 by the Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association in Great Britain. Prior to the SONIA the Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association had no Sterling overnight funding rate. This void created volatility in England's overnight interest rates. When the SONIA was created, it gave a stability to overnight rates and also encouraged the creation of the Overnight Index Swaps markets and the Sterling Money Markets in Great Britain.

A new configuration of Michelson fiber interferometer is proposed and demonstrated for refractive index (RI) and temperature sensing. The proposed configuration consists of a 2 × 2 3 dB coupler and a section of high birefringence (Hi-Bi) fiber. The Hi-Bi fiber is spliced to an output of the coupler, and its combining with the other output forms and the interference arms of the interferometer. For the spectral response of the proposed interferometer, the extinction ratio of an interference pattern corresponding to conventional Michelson fiber interferometer is modulated by a larger period induced by Birefringence in Hi-Bi fiber. This sensor shows a capacity for simultaneous measurement of liquid RI and temperature by detecting the fringe contrast variation and the wavelength shift, respectively.

The 39 Clues Series
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that nearly everyone in the first book is trying to kill, sideline, or deceive the heroes, who are orphaned children. There is some violence (arson, explosions, traps, and several fights with injuries) though it's mostly cartoonish. This book includes incentives to purchase cards, register on a website, and sign up for a contest with cash prizes. It's also a popular mobile app with buzz that it's being made into a movie with Steven Spielberg attached.

What's the story?
Orphans Amy and Dan belong to a rich and powerful family related to nearly everyone important in history. When their grandmother dies, she leaves 39 clues, spread across the planet, to a treasure that will make the finder immensely powerful. So all the relatives, none of them decent or honest (except Amy and Dan, of course), compete to find and solve the clues while trying to eliminate their competition. This proposed 10-book series (10 physical books followed by 29 online-only installments), each by a different author, includes cards plus a code for a Web site with an online game with cash prizes.
Is it any good?
Taken simply as a story, this first book is pretty good. Sure, you have to park your disbelief at the door and give up on any expectation of realism. That done, it's loads of fun, with action, mysteries, and clues. It's clearly intended to make money, and a little more baldly than most. But as long as the writing is good and the story is fun, who cares? And Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series, knows how to pace a story.
The second installment keeps moving like the first -- from Vienna to Salzburg to Venice this time. And it keeps you guessing about how the clues will fit together. But the brother-sister team seems less likable here. Dan won't stop whining about how boring he thinks Mozart is and the two won't stock bickering. It overshadows their talents and makes you wonder how they're able to stay ahead of the competition.
The third installment sends the Cahills to Japan and Korea and teams up Amy and Dan with ruthless relatives Ian and Natalie Kabra. The book starts and ends with fun flourishes and twists but it also gets to the heart of what the four Cahill branches are really fighting over -- and it's not all that original. Also, the puzzles leading to the clues are confusing and the romantic subplot feels clumsily put together.
Dan and Amy Cahill work their way through Egypt in the fourth installment. Lucky for them their grandma has left numerous hints around Cairo and the tombs. Once again this installment doesn't hold a candle to the first in the series. There's no logical flow from one clue to the next and the way the kids figure out some of the puzzles makes no sense. It's too bad because Egypt is such an exciting place for a treasure hunt.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about marketing. Why does the book include playing cards? Why is there a Web site and contest, with cash prizes? What do the publishers have to gain by giving away money?
What do they mean when they call this a "multi-platform series"?

Requirements to deploy modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure.

I Choose to Live Below the Line Because 1.4 Billion Have No Choice
by Opportunity International
Live Below the Line brings attention to the struggles people face around the world by challenging people to feed themselves for less than $1.50 a day. As I learned last year, this challenge illuminates how much choice we have here in the U.S. and how difficult it is to support a family below the extreme poverty line. This year, from April 29 to May 3, I'll challenge myself to Live Below the Line again and fundraise on behalf of Opportunity International.
Opportunity International provides loans, savings, insurance, and training to more than five million people around the world. These financial services allow Opportunity International's clients to build businesses, support their families, and plan for the future. They give people the chance to work their way out of poverty. They empower individuals and communities, and transform lives.
Like last year, this April I will give up my food choices in honor of the 1.4 billion people for whom Living Below the Line is not a voluntary choice. I will take the challenge, give up cranberry juice and chocolate, and stand up for people like Opportunity International's clients. I hope you'll join me.
Ian Haisley is the Director of Online Strategy at Opportunity International, a non-profit focused on providing access to savings, small business loans, insurance and training to over five million people working their way out of poverty in the developing world. Ian spends his time telling stories, sharing inspiration and being a dad. Find him on Twitter: @ianscotthaisley.

Baylor, Tennessee women advance to regional final
DES MOINES, Iowa – Tennessee was down 14 points against 11th-seeded Kansas, an unheralded bunch that few though could test the mighty Lady Vols.
Feisty sophomore Meighan Simmons gave Tennessee the boost it needed to survive and advance to yet another regional final.
Simmons scored 16 of her 22 points off the bench in the second half and Tennessee rallied past the Jayhawks 84-73 Saturday and advanced to its second straight regional final and 25th in 31 years.
Glory Johnson added 18 points for the second-seeded Lady Vols (27-8), who'll meet undefeated and top-seeded Baylor on Monday night for a spot in the Final Four.
It was the 1,098th win for Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, who announced in August she'd been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, and has yet to commit to coaching next season.
Baylor 83, Georgia Tech 68: Brittney Griner capped a sensational performance with a two-handed dunk and the Bears (37-0) stormed into the regional finals for the third straight year with a rout of the Yellow Jackets (26-9).
Griner, who finished with 35 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks, got behind the defense and threw down her slam with 6:29 left in yet another rout for the Bears – swinging briefly on the rim for good measure.
It was the second straight game in which the 6-foot-8 All-American dunked and the seventh slam of her college career.
She's now tied with former Tennessee star Candace Parker, whose two dunks in NCAA tournament play had been the most.
Destiny Williams added 18 points on 9-for-10 shooting for the top-seeded Bears.
Saving for the future
sponsored According to two 2015 surveys, 62 percent of Americans do not have enough savings to handle an unexpected emergency, much less any long-term plans.

Get the best acoustic integrity and clarity from the MDF® Acoustica™ Deluxe Dual Head Lightweight Stethoscope. Both you and your patients experience ultimate comfort, even during extended use.
This is my first stethoscope purchase. I need it for a CNA class required for cardiovasculas sonography. I love the stethoscope. It is very well made, the sound is amazing, and it doesn't hurt my ears like some others I have used have. I do eventually plan to order more in other colors. The only reasons I did not give five stars is because the color was darker and duller than what I expected(I ordered the light pastel purple and it is a lighter, duller version of the dark purple) and I was disappointed in the size of the personalization. I had my initials engraved on the head for security and they are barely visible.
