ABSTRACT: The glenohumeral joint provides greater freedom of motion than any other joint in the body at the expense of decreased stability. Shoulder instability can occur in overhead throwing athletes (chronic, overuse injuries) but more commonly occurs in contact athletes (acute traumatic dislocations). Our understanding of the anatomy and pathologic entities has evolved significantly since initial descriptions of shoulder instability and this has facilitated an evolving repertoire of treatment options. This article reviews the functional anatomy and biomechanics of shoulder stability and outlines the bony and soft tissue lesions associated with shoulder instability in the athlete.
Article: Anterior Shoulder Instability Associated with Coracoid Nonunion in Patients with a Seizure Disorder[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An association between coracoid fracture and glenohumeral instability with both a seizure disorder and the subsequent development of coracoid nonunion has not previously been recognized. This is clinically important as patients with a seizure disorder and glenohumeral instability frequently require a primary osseous reconstructive procedure, such as coracoid osteotomy and transfer to the anterior glenoid rim (the Bristow-Latarjet procedure), to address glenoid osseous deficiency. We report on coracoid fracture nonunion in five patients with a seizure disorder and anterior glenohumeral instability and discuss the implications for surgical treatment. Coracoid fracture was specifically sought on three-dimensional reconstructions of computed tomography scans in a consecutive series of 234 patients presenting to our unit with recurrent anterior instability. In addition to demographic data, we specifically sought information on any history of shoulder injury, the mechanism of injury, or previous seizure activity in these patients. In patients with a coracoid fracture or nonunion viewed to be at high risk of failure with a soft-tissue procedure, an open osseous reconstructive procedure was performed. The type of operative procedure was determined by the location of the nonunion. We identified six coracoid fracture nonunions in association with anterior glenohumeral instability in five patients (mean age, 26.8 years; range, twenty-four to thirty years). All patients had instability occurring in association with seizures. In the four shoulders with the anatomic location of the coracoid nonunion at its so-called elbow, a standard Bristow-Latarjet procedure was performed. In the two shoulders in which the nonunion was more distal, an Eden-Hybbinette procedure was performed. We recommend having a high index of suspicion of coracoid fracture when treating patients with a seizure disorder who have anterior glenohumeral instability. In these patients, preoperative computed tomographic images allow the diagnosis of a coracoid nonunion to be made prior to surgery and help to determine whether there is sufficient intact coracoid bone to allow a Bristow-Latarjet procedure to be performed.

ABSTRACT: Recent innovations have greatly increased the range of proximal humeral fractures that are amenable to open reduction and plate fixation.The optimum technique for some of the more complex fracture patterns is not yet fully refined.This article aims to describe the recent advances in the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures by open reduction and locking plate fixation, focusing particularly on the indications for surgery, the operative techniques, and the expected outcomes after treatment.
Article: The Epidemiology, Risk of Recurrence, and Functional Outcome After an Acute Traumatic Posterior Dislocation of the Shoulder[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Posterior glenohumeral dislocation is less common than anterior dislocation, and less is known about its epidemiology, functional outcome, and complications. The purposes of this study were to determine the epidemiology and demographics of posterior dislocations and to assess the risk of recurrence and the functional outcome after treatment. We performed a retrospective review of a prospective audit of the cases of 112 patients who sustained 120 posterior glenohumeral dislocations. Patients were treated with relocation, immobilization, and then physical therapy. Functional outcome was assessed with the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) and the limb-specific Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score (DASH) during the two years after the dislocation. The prevalence of posterior dislocation was 1.1 per 100,000 population per year, with peaks in male patients between twenty and forty-nine years old, and in the elderly patients over seventy years old. Most dislocations (67%) were produced by a traumatic accident, with most of the remainder produced by seizures. Twenty patients (twenty-three shoulders) developed recurrent instability. On survival analysis, 17.7% (95% confidence interval, 10.8% to 24.6%) of the shoulders developed recurrent instability within the first year. On multivariable analysis, an age of less than forty years, dislocation during a seizure, and a large reverse Hill-Sachs lesion (>1.5 cm3) were predictive of recurrent instability. Small persistent functional deficits were detected with the WOSI and DASH at two years. The prevalence of posterior dislocation is low. The most common complication after this injury is recurrent instability, which occurs at an early stage in 17.7% of shoulders within the first year after dislocation. The risk is highest in patients who are less than forty years old, sustain the dislocation during a seizure, and have a large humeral head defect. The risk is lower for most patients who sustain the injury from a traumatic accident, especially if they are older and have a small anterior humeral head defect. There are persistent deficits of shoulder function within the first two years after the injury.
Article: The Plate-Joystick Technique to Reduce Proximal Humeral Fractures and Nonunions With a Varus Deformity Through the Extended Deltoid-Splitting Approach[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fractures and nonunions in which there is a varus deformity of the humeral head producing posterinferior subluxation of the articular surface are increasingly recognized as an important subgroup of proximal humeral fractures. Operative open reduction and internal fixation of these injuries is often recommended when the varus deformity is severe. We describe a simple technique to assist in the open reduction and locking plate stabilization of this challenging and complex fracture subtype using tools and implants that are readily available in most modern orthopaedic trauma operating rooms.

Article: article-title aid="1472932">Shoulder Instability in Patients with Joint Hyperlaxity</article-title[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Generalized ligamentous hyperlaxity and glenohumeral joint instability are common conditions that exhibit a spectrum of diverse clinical forms and may coexist in the same patient. No single diagnostic test can confirm the presence of these disorders, and a careful clinical assessment is important. Unlike patients with traumatic shoulder instability, patients with hyperlaxity and instability are more likely to experience episodes of recurrent subluxation than they are to have recurrent dislocation. They are more likely to have instability in more than one anatomic plane, and they usually do not have the soft-tissue and osseous lesions associated with traumatic instability. Shoulder symptoms in a patient with hyperlaxity are not always due to instability; other pathological conditions may coexist, with rotator cuff impingement being the most common. Most patients with hyperlaxity have a reduction in instability symptoms after nonoperative treatment, including physical therapy, activity modification, and additional psychological support when necessary. Operative treatment provides reproducibly good results for patients with hyperlaxity who do not respond to a prolonged program of nonoperative measures. Open inferior capsular shift remains the gold standard of operative treatment, although arthroscopic capsular shift and plication procedures are now producing comparable results. Thermal capsulorrhaphy is associated with unacceptably high failure rates and postoperative complications and cannot be recommended as a treatment.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral emboli have been detected during intramedullary orthopaedic procedures. The quantity of emboli produced and their clinical effects are currently not known. This study aimed to quantify the intra-operative cerebral embolic load using transcranial Doppler ultrasound during the intramedullary stabilisation of femoral and tibial diaphyseal fractures. Clinical cognitive function was also assessed after surgery and any relationship to the cerebral embolic load determined. Prospective cohort study of 20 patients with femoral or tibial diaphyseal fractures treated with reamed intramedullary nailing. The intra-operative cerebral embolic load was measured using transcranial Doppler ultrasound of the middle meningeal artery. Cognitive function was assessed 3 days after surgery using a range of validated neuropsychological tests. The cognitive results were compared to predicted scores matched for age and intelligence quotient as is the standard method of cognitive assessment after trauma. Four patients had detectable cerebral emboli with counts of only 2, 3, 3, and 9 respectively. A significantly poorer than predicted cognitive score occurred in immediate and delayed memory recall tests. However there was no significant difference in any cognitive function score between those patients who had detectable cerebral emboli and those who did not. Small numbers of cerebral emboli were detected during intramedullary stabilisation of lower limb long bone fractures but with no apparent cognitive effect. This poor correlation is similar to recent studies performed on arthroplasty patients and also conforms to the extensive cardiac surgery literature which would indicate that such low levels of systemic embolisation are unlikely to consistently produce cerebral clinical effects.

ABSTRACT: Fractures of the lesser tuberosity are rare injuries, and little is known of their epidemiology. Operative treatment is generally recommended for displaced fractures; however, the outcome of this method of treatment has not previously been studied. The aims of our study were to determine the approximate incidence of lesser tuberosity fractures, as well as the functional outcome following operative treatment in a consecutive series of patients. Over an eight-year period, we studied the demographic details of a consecutive series of twenty-two adult patients who had a fracture of the lesser tuberosity. We used age and sex-specific local census data to estimate the annual incidence of this injury in our local population. Seventeen of the original cohort of twenty-two patients, who were medically fit and had a displaced (two-part) fracture, were treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture. We assessed the outcome using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) general health measure, the Constant score, and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. The estimated annual incidence of these fractures was low at 0.46 per 100,000 population per year during the study period. There were fifteen men and seven women, with a median age of forty-three years. There was an even distribution of fractures across the age cohorts, and most fractures were sustained from a high-energy transfer mechanism. The median Constant score was 95 points at two years, and the median DASH score was 12 points at two years after the injury. Most patients regained nearly normal range of motion in the affected shoulder by three months. One patient had development of posttraumatic shoulder stiffness, which responded to arthroscopic release. All patients who were in regular employment prior to the injury returned to their jobs within six months. There were no significant differences between each component of the SF-36 at two years compared with age and sex-matched controls. A lesser tuberosity fracture, without an associated humeral head or greater tuberosity fracture, is a rare injury. Open reduction and internal fixation provides excellent restoration of function and range of shoulder movement, with a low risk of complications.
Article: Fractures of the clavicle[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Undisplaced fractures of both the diaphysis and the lateral end of the clavicle have a high rate of union, and the functional outcomes are good after nonoperative treatment. Nonoperative treatment of displaced shaft fractures may be associated with a higher rate of nonunion and functional deficits than previously reported. However, it remains difficult to predict which patients will have these complications. Since a satisfactory functional outcome may be obtained after operative treatment of a clavicular nonunion or malunion, there is currently considerable debate about the benefits of primary operative treatment of these injuries. Displaced lateral-end fractures have a higher risk of nonunion after nonoperative treatment than do shaft fractures. However, nonunion is difficult to predict and may be asymptomatic in elderly individuals. The results of operative treatment are more unpredictable than they are for shaft fractures.
Article: Assessment of axillary nerve function and functional outcome after fixation of complex proximal humeral fractures using the extended deltoid-splitting approach[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The extended deltoid-splitting approach was developed as an alternative to the deltopectoral approach in the treatment of three- and four-part proximal humeral fractures. The aim of our prospective study was to determine whether this approach was associated with evidence of nerve injury, functional deficits or other complications in these cases, during the first year following reconstruction. Over a 1-year-period, we treated 14 people (median age 59 years) with open reduction and plate fixation using the extended deltoid-splitting approach. All were prospectively reviewed clinically and radiologically during the first year after surgery. Functional testing involved three scoring systems, spring balance testing of deltoid power, dynamic muscle function testing and, at 1 year, electrophysiological assessment of axillary nerve function. Of the 14 fractures, 13 united without complications and with comparatively minor residual functional deficits. Of these 13 cases, 1 showed slight neurogenic change in the anterior deltoid but no evidence of anterior deltoid paralysis. In the remaining case, osteonecrosis of the humeral head developed 9 months after surgery and functional scores were poor, but without evidence of nerve injury on electrophysiological testing. This technique is a useful alternative in the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures, providing good access for reduction and implant placement without adverse effects.
Article: A comparative analysis of the accuracy, diagnostic uncertainty and cost of imaging modalities in suspected scaphoid fractures[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clinical examination of suspected scaphoid fractures is sensitive, but not specific, and initial plain radiographs lack sensitivity. A variety of second-line imaging techniques have been proposed to improve immediate diagnosis and reduce overtreatment. Different sample populations and methods of reporting test performance have made side-by-side comparison difficult. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology of clinically suspected scaphoid fracture and determine the prevalence of true fracture. These data are used to compare second-line imaging techniques in our population. 200 consecutive patients attending a trauma service with clinically suspected scaphoid fracture were followed through diagnosis to discharge. The prevalence of true fracture was 16% and was associated with male sex and injury playing sport. Magnetic resonance imaging has the best diagnostic performance, with the added benefit of soft tissue evaluation, but was the most expensive option. Ultrasound examination was least effective in detecting true fractures. Future studies should further evaluate the clinical and economic sequelae of overtreatment of suspected fractures. Clinicians should examine alternatives to "empirical" treatment without definite diagnosis based on their local facilities and patient demographics.
Article: Primary arthroscopic stabilisation for a first time anterior dislocation of the shoulder. A randomised, double-blind trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in younger patients is associated with a high risk of recurrence and persistent functional deficits. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a primary arthroscopic Bankart repair, while controlling for the therapeutic effects produced by the arthroscopic intervention and joint lavage. In a single-center, double-blind clinical trial, eighty-eight adult patients under thirty-five years of age who had sustained a primary anterior glenohumeral dislocation were randomized to receive either an arthroscopic examination and joint lavage alone or together with an anatomic repair of the Bankart lesion. Assessment of the rate of recurrent instability, functional outcome (with use of three scores), range of movement, patient satisfaction, direct health-service costs, and treatment complications was completed for eighty-four of these patients (forty-two in each group) during the subsequent two years. In the two years after the primary dislocation, the risk of a further dislocation was reduced by 76% and the risk of all recurrent instability was reduced by 82% in the Bankart repair group compared with the group that had arthroscopy and lavage alone. The functional scores were also better (p < 0.05), the treatment costs were lower (p = 0.012), and patient satisfaction was higher (p < 0.001) after arthroscopic repair. The improved functional outcome appeared to be mediated through the prevention of instability since the functional outcome in patients with stable shoulders was similar, irrespective of the initial treatment allocation. The patients who had a Bankart repair and played contact sports were also more likely to have returned to their sport at two years (relative risk = 3.4, p = 0.007). Following a first-time anterior dislocation of the shoulder, there is a marked treatment benefit from primary arthroscopic repair of a Bankart lesion, which is distinct from the so-called background therapeutic effect of the arthroscopic examination and lavage of the joint. However, primary repair does not appear to confer a functional benefit to patients with a stable shoulder at two years after the dislocation.

ABSTRACT: The recent technological developments in implant design and the wider availability of bone graft substitutes have stimulated a renaissance in the operative treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures. However, one of the remaining problems of the operative treatment of these injuries has been the limited surgical access to the posterior aspect of the shoulder afforded by the deltopectoral approach. In this article, we describe a novel extended deltoid-splitting approach, in which the area traversed by the axillary nerve is identified and protected during the surgery. We feel that this approach provides enhanced surgical exposure and offers a useful alternative to the deltopectoral approach in the operative treatment of 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures.
Article: Complex Posterior Fracture-Dislocation of the ShoulderEpidemiology, Injury Patterns, and Results of Operative Treatment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Complex posterior fracture-dislocations of the shoulder are rare and often associated with poor long-term function regardless of the choice of treatment. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the epidemiology and pathological anatomy of posterior fracture-dislocations of the shoulder and to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a specific treatment protocol of open reduction and internal fixation. We studied the demographic details of a consecutive series of twenty-six patients (twenty-eight shoulders in nineteen men and seven women with a mean age of fifty-three years) who sustained acute posterior dislocation of the humeral head with an associated Neer two, three, or four-part fracture. We used age and gender-specific local census data to assess the incidence of injury in our local population. All patients were treated by open relocation of the humeral head, bone-grafting of humeral head defects if they were causing residual shoulder instability, and internal fixation of the fracture. We recorded the prevalence of fracture complications that were clinically and radiographically apparent and assessed the functional outcome using three validated scoring systems (the Short Form-36 general health measure, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, and the Constant score). The overall incidence of posterior fracture-dislocations was 0.6 per 100,000 population per year. The peak incidence was in middle-aged men, and most injuries were sustained during a seizure or a fall from a height. In all patients, there was a displaced primary fracture of the anatomic neck of the humerus, propagating from the area of an osteochondral fracture of the anterior aspect of the humeral head (a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion). We recognized three subtypes determined by the extent of the secondary fracture lines. At two years after surgery, the median Constant score was 83.5 points and the median Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score was 17.5 points. The eight components of the Short Form-36 score were not significantly different from those of age and sex-matched controls at two years. Acute complex posterior fracture-dislocations of the shoulder are rare, but they occur in patients who are younger than the majority of other patients who sustain a proximal humeral fracture. The use of open reduction and internal fixation to treat these fractures is associated with a relatively low risk of postoperative complications, and the functional outcome is generally favorable.

Article: Functional outcome and risk of recurrent instability after primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation in young patients. J Bone Joint Surg Am[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The prevalence and risk factors for recurrent instability and functional impairment following a primary glenohumeral dislocation remain poorly defined in younger patients. We performed a prospective cohort study to evaluate these outcomes. We also aimed to produce guidelines for the design of future clinical trials, assessing the efficacy of interventions designed to improve the outcome after a primary dislocation. We performed a prospective cohort study of 252 patients ranging from fifteen to thirty-five years old who sustained an anterior glenohumeral dislocation and were treated with sling immobilization, followed by a physical therapy program. Patients received regular clinical follow-up to assess whether recurrent instability had developed. Functional assessments were made and were compared for two subgroups: those who had not had instability develop and those who had received operative stabilization to treat recurrent instability. On survival analysis, instability developed in 55.7% of the shoulders within the first two years after the primary dislocation and increased to 66.8% by the fifth year. The younger male patients were most at risk of instability, and 86.7% of all of the patients known to have recurrent instability had this complication develop within the first two years. A small but measurable degree of functional impairment was present at two years after the initial dislocation in most patients. Sample-size calculations revealed that a relatively small number of patients with a primary dislocation would be required in future clinical trials examining the effects of interventions designed to reduce the prevalence of recurrent instability and improve the functional outcome. Recurrent instability and deficits of shoulder function are common after primary nonoperative treatment of an anterior shoulder dislocation. There is substantial variation in the risk of instability, with younger males having the highest risk and females having a much lower risk. Future clinical trials to evaluate primary interventions should evaluate the prevalence of recurrent instability and functional deficits, with use of an assessment tool specifically for shoulder instability, during the first two years after the initial dislocation.

ABSTRACT: Fractures and dislocations involving the shoulder girdle are common. If these injuries occur after high-energy trauma, initial assessment must follow Advanced Trauma Life Support™ (ATLS)™ guidelines to identify associated life-threatening injuries. Physical examination must include a thorough neurovascular assessment of the upper limb, with particular attention to the axillary nerve and brachial plexus because they are often damaged in injuries to the shoulder girdle. Knowledge of the relevant anatomy and accurate radiological evaluation help classify the severity of the fracture or dislocation. Classification of the injury helps guide treatment and indicate prognosis. Most fractures and dislocations of the shoulder girdle are managed with a brief period of immobilization followed by early, progressive mobilization of the entire upper limb to prevent stiffness. Surgical treatment is appropriate in some patients and various techniques are used to achieve reduction of the fracture or dislocation and maintain reduction by internal fixation. Complications may occur as a result of initial injury or after treatment of the fracture or dislocation.

Singer has said he's not 'cherry-picking' the franchise, and I believe him, so the only reason he'd excise a part of the current franchise would be if doing so was warranted due to the parameters of the story he's telling with DoFP, which sounds like what's happened with O:W.
I disagree? My best friend can't stand comic books. He loves movies. He hates the X-Franchise. He loves Nolan's Batmans and The Avengers.
More than just fans have problems with the X-Franchise. It's riddled with just about everything that makes a bad franchise. Plot holes, recasts, continuity errors, unwarranted and unearned deaths, and Baraka-pool.
Rather than viewing it as a reboot (as the OP titled the thread) I think he's describing more of a renaissance. In terms of (likely) never seeing some of the major cast again (Stewart, Mckellen and Jackman) and allowing a younger cast to pickup where the current one never really traveled. It's not a hard or even soft reboot. It's a resurgence.

Conference Paper: A Review of Methods for Topology Errors Detection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A review of methods for detecting topology errors in energy management systems applications is presented. The methods range from pre-processing consistency checks to those linked to a state estimator solution. The methods selected are tested on several networks and they are evaluated in terms of reliability, accuracy and ease of implementation.
Conference Paper: Detection and estimation of topology and parameter errors from real-time measurements[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the detection and correction of topology and modeling errors in power system state estimation. The proposed method partitions the network into loops. Then anomalies-sensitive measurements are used to diagnose realtime data and the power system model. Finally the method is demonstrated on a real network.
Conference Paper: Detection and identification of topological errors from real-time measurements reconciliation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: State estimation assumes that measurement errors are statistically small, that data redundancy is adequate in number, type and topological distribution of measurements. Furthermore, network configuration and parameters are assumed known. Frequently, these hypotheses are not true. Topology errors result from errors in the status of the circuit breakers associated with a network branch such as a line, a transformer, a shunt capacitor, or a bus tie. In this paper, network configuration and parameter errors are addressed and an identification procedure is demonstrated.

El Dorado County health officials are warning residents and visitors to stay away from chipmunks and squirrels because of renewed fears of the plague.
Plague is an infectious disease that affects rodents and humans. Introduced into this country in 1900 when it hitchhiked to the United States on rat-infested ships, plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria.
There were 999 confirmed or probable U.S. plague cases from 1900 to 2010, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of the cases have been in the New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado area and in Nevada, Oregon and California.
"Plague is naturally present in many parts of California, including higher elevations of El Dorado County, so we all need to be cautious around animals that can carry it," said Dr. Alicia Paris-Pombo, the county's public health officer.
The California Department of Health Services routinely monitors the rodent population in the state for signs of the plague. Last September and October, three chipmunks tested positive for plague in the South Lake Tahoe area.
Two of the infected chipmunks were found near the U.S. Forest Service Taylor Creek Visitor Center and a third near the Tallac Historic Site. No human illness was reported because of infected chipmunks.
Warning signs were posted asking the public to report dead or sick rodents. The signs will continue to be posted this year.
The CDC's website notes that people usually acquire plague when they are bitten by a flea that is infected with the plague bacteria. Humans can also become infected from direct contact with infected tissue or fluids while handling an animal that is sick or dead from plague.
Human cases of plague are rare. The disease can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
Symptoms of plague usually show up within two weeks of exposure to an infected animal or flea, according to county health officials.
With bubonic plague, people develop fever, headache, chills and weakness – and swollen, tender and painful lymph nodes, according to the CDC.
Civilization has suffered major plague pandemics through history. During the "Black Death," originating in China in 1334, it is estimated that plague killed 60 percent of Europe's population, according to the CDC.
The El Dorado County Health Department offers these tips to avoid the plague:
Do not feed squirrels or chipmunks.
Never touch sick, injured or dead rodents.
Do not camp, sleep or rest near animal burrows.
Look for and heed plague warning signs.
Leave pets home if possible. Otherwise, keep them confined or on a leash and away from dead rodents and rodent burrows.
Wear long pants tucked into boot tops to reduce exposure to fleas. Apply insect repellent containing DEET on socks and trouser cuffs.
If you become sick after having been in an area where plague is known to occur, consult a physician.

text: I've stayed at the Berns may times & it always does well. I'm a big fan of boutique hotels, preferring the quirkiness of the rooms to the bland predictability of the major brands. The Berns staff are wonderfully friendly & helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable (with free wifi) if occasionally a little cramped. The breakfast buffet & Asian restaurant are surprisingly good & the huge ornate room is great. There's a large bar inside for the winter & one outside on the gound & 1st floors for the summer. There's also one exclusively for hotel guests & "members" on the 6th floor in the summer. In addition there's the nightclub but I haven't been in that! Lastly the location is very central & it's easy to walk to Gamla Stan from there, or to a business address if that's the reason you are in Stockholm.

Double cell shades offer maximum insulation. Light filtering or blackout fabrics provide privacy and light control choices in a wide array of colors, textures and even patterns. Customize your honeycomb shade with convenient lift options including cordless, top down-bottom up, and motorized remote control.

customer reviews for cellular honeycomb
"Very pleased"
By Kari from NJ
We bought these blinds for our basement. They were very easy to install and look beautiful. They have a very high quality feel. I would definitely recommend these blinds to anyone.View this product
"Great quality"
By SDTim from Oceanside
The quality and ease of installation was better than expected. There is a little light that gets through on the small gap between the window frame and edge of the shade. Overall it blocks a TON of light. We love them. Size based on my measurements were very accurate. Great customer service!View this product

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Arena Football League and its players have reached a collective bargaining agreement that could clear the way for play to resume in 2010.
League executive Jim Renacci told The Associated Press the agreement was reached Friday. He said Saturday the labor agreement is just one step toward getting back on the field next year. The league also plans to restructure into a single entity ownership model.

If you had to guess from the very first time you bought one, how much would you say you've spent on home pregnancy tests? (Not just this cycle but every cycle you have ever bought one or ten or fifty for)
If your SO knew this, would you be embarrassed?
I most definitely would be embarrassed. My guess is that I've probably spent $500 on tests?

Greg Hoyd picks up a Bulldog scholarship offer
Fresno State recently offered Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta three-star linebacker, Greg Hoyd. Including the Bulldog's offer, he has scholarship opportunities from New Mexico State, Toledo, Duke, Washington State, Utah and Prairie View.
Hoyd stands at 6-foot-2, 215-pounds and runs the 40 in 4.6. With his measurables alone you can take it to the bank there are going to be more offers for Hoyd as the recruiting process progresses. Hoyd talks about Fresno State.
"I know little things about Fresno State," Hoyd said. "I went to the Fresno State-Ole Miss game in 2011. The Bulldogs played really well, but Ole Miss came out with the win.
"My dad went to Ole Miss, so he wanted to go to the game and Fresno State's stadium was very beautiful, very beautiful."
One member of the Bulldog's incoming class is tight with Hoyd.
"The corner they just signed this year, Treshon Broughton, is like a brother to me," he said. "He is going to be attending Fresno State for the 2013 season and he is hoping for a great season. I wish him well.
"I have talked to Fresno State's coaches and they like me. They said with Treshon going there, 'we want to see if we can get you and we feel we have a chance to get you because pretty much, your best friend is coming.'
"So yeah, I have interest in Fresno State. Pretty much family already there, but I want to see what else holds for me. I do like Fresno State."
Even though Hoyd currently holds seven offers, he doesn't have any favorites.
"I am very open," Hoyd said. "It's still early, I am still in my junior year. May hasn't even gotten here, but it is right around the corner though."
What is Hoyd looking for is a college?
"I would want to fall in love with the school," Hoyd said. "Just because I may have heard about a school like USC, I may not like the campus or things like that.
"I'm just listening to the coaches and talking to them. When I get a chance to go see the campus I could truly fall in love with the school.
"Education is important. Most likely I will be majoring in electrical engineering. Getting a full ride education, you have to really take advantage of it. Getting to the league, you can do that from any school, you just need film, but that education, getting that degree is hard to come by."
At this point in Hoyd's recruitment, he doesn't have a time limit for decision. He is simply going to take it as it comes.
"If I get my school that I like before the season, it would be all great," Hoyd said. "It would be nice knowing going into the season that I would have a home to go to after the season.
"I'm pretty much open. It could be before my senior year or it could even be signing day."
Playing away from home is not going to be a problem for Hoyd.
"I don't mind getting out of town," Hoyd said. "I really want to experience something different. I wouldn't mind playing close to home, but I wouldn't mind going away from home either.
"I'm going to do right for myself, growing up becoming a young man and things like that. Wherever I fit, I fit."
Hoyd will be attending the Ole Miss Camp this summer and he could end up taking trips to Kentucky and Mississippi State. All three schools want to see him up close and see a little more film.
Hoyd has a long body and has a high ceiling. He could easily grow more and gain weight. He is just hitting his stride as a football player and the best is yet to come. He also becoming a team leader and has good football bloodlines. His dad played for Ole Miss and was a starter for two years.
As a junior, Hoyd was an all-league selection after accounting for 96 tackles, four forced fumbles, four pass deflections, two interceptions and two sacks.
Stay tuned to FSBulldogs.com for more updates on the Fresno State 2014 recruiting class. You can follow us on Twitter at @FresnoDogs.

Lake Manasarovar
Mapham Yumtso
(July 2006)
|30°39′N 81°27′E / 30.65°N 81.45°ECoordinates: 30°39′N 81°27′E / 30.65°N 81.45°E
|Surface area
|410 km2 (160 sq mi)
|Max. depth
|90 m (300 ft)
|Surface elevation

Lake Manasarovar (also Manas Sarovar, Mapam Yumtso; Tibetan: མ་ཕམ་གཡུ་མཚོ།, Wylie: ma pham g.yu mtsho; Sanskrit: मानसरोवर ; Chinese: 玛旁雍错) is a freshwater lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region, 940 kilometres (580 mi) from Lhasa. To the west of it is Lake Rakshastal; to the north is Mount Kailash.
Lake Manasarovar lies at 4,590 metres (15,060 ft) above mean sea level, a relatively high elevation for a large freshwater lake on the mostly saline lake-studded Tibetan Plateau. Despite claims to the contrary, there are hundreds of higher freshwater lakes in the world, including a larger and higher freshwater lake at 4,941 metres (16,211 ft) above sea level and 495 km2 in size, Angpa Tso (also known as Chibzhang Co, Migriggyangzham Co, East Chihpuchang Hu), further east on the Tibetan Plateau at 33°24′N 90°17′E / 33.400°N 90.283°E. The largest freshwater lake of its size (290 km2) over 5000 meters elevation is Pumoyong Tso (also known as Puma Yumco, Po-mo Hu, Pumuoyong Tso), also on the Tibetan Plateau, at 28°34′N 90°24′E / 28.567°N 90.400°E at 5,018 metres (16,463 ft) elevation.[1]
Lake Manasarovar[2] is relatively round in shape with the circumference of 88 kilometres (55 mi). Its depth reaches a maximum depth of 90 m (300 ft)[citation needed] and its surface area is 320 square kilometres (120 sq mi). It is connected to nearby Lake Rakshastal by the natural Ganga Chhu channel. Lake Manasarovar is near the source of the Sutlej, which is the easternmost large tributary of the Sindhu. Nearby are the sources of the Brahmaputra River, the Indus River, and the Ghaghara, an important tributary of the Ganges.
Lake Manas Sarovar overflows in to lake Rakshastal which is a salt-water endorheic lake. These lakes used to be part of the Sutlej basin and were separated due to tectonic activity.
The word "Manasarovara" originates from Sanskrit, which is a combination of the words "Manas" "sarovara" manas meaning mind and sarovara meaning lake. According to the Hindu religion, the lake was first created in the mind of the Lord Brahma after which it manifested on Earth.[3]
Religious significance[edit]
In Hinduism[edit]
In Hinduism, Lake Manasarovar is a personification of purity, and one who drinks water from the lake will go to the abode of Shiva after death. He is believed to be cleansed of all his sins committed over even a hundred lifetimes.[4]
Like Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar is a place of pilgrimage, attracting religious people from India, Nepal, Tibet and neighboring countries. Bathing in Manasarovar and drinking its water is believed to cleanse all sins. Pilgrimage tours are organized regularly, especially from India, the most famous of which is the yearly "Kailash Manas Sarovar Yatra". Pilgrims come to take ceremonial baths in the cleansing waters of the lake.
Lake Manasarovar has long been viewed by the pilgrims as being nearby to the sources of four great rivers of Asia, namely the Brahmaputra, Ghaghara, Sindhu and Sutlej, thus it is an axial point which has been thronged to by pilgrims for thousands of years. The region was closed to pilgrims from the outside following the Battle of Chamdo; no foreigners were allowed between 1951 and 1980. After the 1980s it has again become a part of the Indian pilgrim trail.[4]
According to the Hinduism, the lake was first created in the mind of Brahma after which it manifested on Earth.[3] Hence it is called "Manasa sarovaram", which is a combination of the Sanskrit words for "mind" and "lake". The lake is also supposed to be the summer abode of the hamsa. Considered to be sacred, the hamsa is an important element in the symbology of the subcontinent, representing wisdom and beauty.[5]
In Bon religion[6][edit]
Bon religion also associate with the main holy place of Zhang Zhung Meri sacred deity. When Tonpa Shenrab (the founder of Bon religion) visited to Tibet in first time from Tagzig Wolmo Lungring he washed himself in the lake.
In Buddhism[edit]
Buddhists associate the lake with the legendary lake Anavatapta (Sanskrit; Pali Anotatta) where Maya is believed to have conceived Buddha. The lake has a few monasteries on its shores, the most notable of which is the ancient Chiu Monastery built on a steep hill, looking as if it has been carved right out of the rock.
The lake is very popular in Buddhist literature and associated with many teachings and stories. Buddha, it is reported, stayed and meditated near this lake on several occasions. Lake Manasarovar is also the subject of the meditative Tibetan tradition, "The Jewel of Tibet". A modern narration and description of the meditation was made popular by Robert Thurman.[7]
In Jainism[edit]
In Jainism, Lake Manasarovar is associated with the first Tirthankara, Rishabha.

Weasenham Preschool is a charity, run by a voluntary management committee comprised of parents and members of the wider community. As a parent of a child who is, or will be attending Weasenham Preschool during the forthcoming academic year, it is important that you get involved in the preschool committee meetings.
Without a committee, our preschool cannot legally operate. All it takes is a few hours each term but it offers you the opportunity to directly influence the management of the preschool and the people to whom you entrust your child's development and with it their first steps in learning.

Several months sooner than expected, a Berrien County businessman is now in prison Thursday morning.
John Bertuca of St. Joseph is at a minimum security prison in Oxford, Wisconsin.
Bertuca owned several businesses, including Bertuca Bonding and Insurance.
Bertuca is serving time for filing false tax returns and agreed to testify in a $52 million ponzi scheme trial set for April.
He was scheduled to serve his sentence after that trial.
Because of the government shutdown, we are unable to find out why he started serving his sentence now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Darce Great glasses! Just bought these glasses and I love them. They are very stable, durable, and stylish. They store much easier in my cupboard than the tall martini glasses. The seaglass drink picks look great in them. October 27, 2009

In this paper, a class of piecewise linear Lyapunov functions is used to obtain the sufficient conditions for the stability of multiclass fluid networks under priority service disciplines. This extends and generalizes the existing work that is based on a linear Lyapunov function, and also complements the existing work that uses the piecewise linear Lyapunov function approach to study the global stability of multiclass queueing networks. A three-station network example is used to illustrate the quality of this sufficient condition. Both theoretical and experimental results indicate that the piecewise linear Lyapunov function approach yields better and effective sufficient conditions

Is there an air filter inside the car interior,and when should it be replaced? Can this effect the amount of air flow from the vents?
Does some of the cadalac engines have aluminum heads on older models back in 1990? Is it safe to drive a car say 15 to 20 yrs and get tuned up at or on the 100,000th mile? LOOKS LIKE ONE MAY HAVE SOME PLUGS SIEZED UP IN THE HEADS??? This is less than 10,000 miles a yr! Is this a safe serviceing option or a sales gimmick??
Is there a way to lubricate the shifting cables on the transmission? I have a stubborn reverse gear ingaugement. The other speeds are ok,just reverse hard to engauge !
How much does it cost to replace the ignition lock on the steering column ? The key works ok it turns ok,but if you pull it out it will take some doing jiggeling and shaking to get it to turn to start the engine ,once it works it is ok untill you pull it out to take the key for securety reasons!
I just love this olds cutlass it gets 30-34 mpg highway with the 2.2 ltr engine. I do a lot of short trip drives .I done a complete engine rebuild in 2006,it has always used a pint or slightly more in 1800 miles of city and hyway combined miles. I know this is not much,but will a factory new long block be better or use less oil? I had a local machine shope do all the machine work!I,m thinking they may not have bored the cylinders,to meet the lowest tollerance,on piston clearances. The cylinder head was rebuilt,as well.I use stp added to every oil change,did i use it too soon after it was rebuilt at 500 miles driving?
A shock can leak air pressure,or a line to the shock can leak.Check to see that the leveling device is conected to a link that controls the signall to turn on the air pump,when the vehicle is needing to be leveled by the air pumped to the rear shocks.you may be able to find the leak with soapy water sprayed on the shocks air bag or lines from the pump to the shocks.If there be a leak any where in the system the shocks will deflate!And the vehicle will sit down!I,m not sure about a check valve in the system!
Your car has a starting ignition,fed from the starter solenoid,while cranking to start the engine, with the key.The ignition switch should supply the ignition with 12 or less volts,to run on,after the engine is started.If you have the ign.switch turned on to run position,while you jump start across the solenoid terminals,the motor should continue to run,if not there is an open circuit on the running ignition.Either from the ignition switch, or from the module to the coil pack!Sometimes you can have one terminal, on one coil, not fire, while the others will,causing a miss,and a new coil will not fix this.This may be due to a faulty module,located under the exhaust manifold bolted to the Engine block.You can have a parts jobber test your module possibly for this starting and running problem.I cant tell how to check the voltage from the ignition switch to the module.You will need a wiring diagram,to find the feed wire,and then you may need to unplug the module wiring at the module, before checking the voltage from the ign.switch.A multimeter is best for this,not a test light,since the computer electronics is delicate.
The circuit has a short!The new bulbs had less resistence in them and the fuse lasted a bit longer, before it heated up from excess amps,or voltage draw.Check for a loose ground wire as well.Look for the obvious under the car as well,at the bulb sockets,or where the wiring can rub against frameworks! corosion can cause resistance in circuits.Road splash can be corrosive in due time!in line Connectors between the brake switch,and the rear lites can get moisture in them and corrode.This would be an oppen circuit!Is the carpet wet from leaks underneath while driving??
Be sure you check both sides of all the fuses,the radio and cigar lighter, are on the same fuse i think,you should have a cover on the fuse panel, that gives the information on all the circuits.Or if you have the owners manual, in the glove box it will tell it all in detail.I think the clock on the dash is hot all the time, and is protected with a fuseable link.
The 351w was built in windsor Ontareo,Canada,for ford motor company it is the smaller block verson of the Engine desine back in the late 60's to the mid or late 80,s I think.. The 351 m was built in the USA. It was built as an engine that could be modified to have a changeable cubic engine displacement,either a 351 or a 400 cubic in.By using a different crankshaft with a longer stroke,but used a big block engine for both sizes.It was called a 351m-400,on the lable on the valve cover,and was a 400.The 351cid was labled 351 m The 351 Cleavland was built in Cleavland ,Ohio.It was the high performance version in its day.
The resistor pack is cooled by the airflow in the ac&heater housing!The ground needs checked on the blower motor,or the motor may have dry, or worn bushings,does the air come from the outlets,on the proper modes of the controls? Is the air ample on ac outlets and defrost outlets! Check for ground from engine to firewall! Does the circuit's fuse blow frequently?
First things first! Charge the battery for 15 minutes.While charging battery!Remove the plug from cylinder number 4!If the plug is wet and glossy black replace,or wire brush it clean with brush,and gummout spray.If the plugs are all sooty then too much fuel is delivered.Place a screwdriver shaft tip down into the plug wire from cyl no. 4.Have some one spin the engine with the starter,look for spark to jump to any metal surface or a good ground from the screwdriver shaft, useing the handle to hold it next to ground. .It should jump at least a 1/4in.gap or slightly more if it doesnot then you may have more electrical problems.Try this on all 4 plug wires,incase one has high resistense.If there is no spark,check connections on the battery,and the starter solenoid AT the starter WIRING CONNECTIONS.Also check for a good ground on the engine block.
Let me see now !!!GM has ben good to locate the resistor pack within reach,without too much other items to remove,for a quick fix! Look under the hood on the heater ac box housing,for a conector with several wires in the plug in or connector! After you take the connection loose look to see if there are 2 screws holding the resistor pack in the air box,remove the pack and if there are 3 or more coils within the pack you have found it! Look for burnt or broken coils or resistors ! good luck without a wiring diagram!you should see a blower motor in this area as well! good luck
I,m not sure on the Ford Taurus,but most all cars dropped the cable and use a sensor to relay the transmission out put speed.Most are located on the transaxle assy,on the passenger side of the vehicle or off center in that direction.The sensor has a 2 wire hook up, and inside the housing uses a reluctor coil and a spoked wheel,that makes a signal or pulse, like the solid state ign system for the eng.This goes through the circuit to the computer moduale and then to the speedometer head.
the fuel pressure regulator will be located on one end of the fuel rail,that supplys fuel to the injectors.It has a round body with a vacumn hose atached to the diaphram within the round housing.

Speak Freak EP
- Artists Kid Blue
- Release Date 2009-07-06
- Labels LOT49
- Catalog LOT49049
Lot49 are really raising the bar in 2009 with some outstanding releases from their impeccable stable of artists. Hot on the heels of Lee Coombs, Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes comes DJ/producer Rory Natkiel AKA Kid Blue with the latest instalment in the tech funk chronicles.
Natkiel has recorded for labels including Passenger, Fat and of course Lot49, he is a much respected DJ and has been successfully promoting club night for over a decade, from the much lauded Technique nights in Leeds to the current string of off the hook Lot49 parties.
The 'Speak Freak EP' is a collection of rock solid house/techno hybrid cuts that perfectly reflect where Natkiel is coming from as an artist.
Lead cut 'Speak Freak' takes the sentiments of big bass driven fidget house and gives it a rough techno edge, a perfect track to test any soundsystems limits and one that is bound to find favour across the board this summer.
'Speak Freak' is closely followed by the quality sounds of 'Pentatonik', a slice of superbly crafted tech house that hits all the right buttons.
Finally we have 'Soul Inside' a track described by Natkiel himself as "an electro-techno roller with the kind of blippy melodies that I love to play in my sets". This is a real corker of a cut with an intense vibe that makes for a real hypnotic listening experience, an electro-techno roller indeed!
This Ep makes a clear statement about the future sound of Kid Blue and is perfectly paired with a label evolving into a powerhouse of the techno/electro scene. Sterling stuff!

Even though it's Star Wars Week on Jimmy Kimmel, that isn't stopping ABC from promoting the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's all about corporate synergy these days folks.
The first teaser trailer doesn't give away too much except for the fact Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) are on the outs due to Steve Rogers wanting to protect his old friend, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). Should we prep ourselves for an epic fight between these two Avengers?
The third installment of the Captain America franchise will give fans the first look at Tom Holland as Spider-man and marks the first appearance of Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther. They'll join returning players Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Anthony Mackie as Falcon, Emily VanCamp as Agent 13 and Paul Bettany as Vision in the highly-anticipated flick.
Captain America: Civil War invades theaters everywhere on May 6. Check out the teaser trailer below.
Despite being contracted for at least three Spider-man films, Andrew Garfield won't be playing the web-slinger in anymore sequels. The 31-year-old actor is being replaced in yet another reboot of the superhero franchise. Seriously, how many times is Sony Pictures planning on rebooting the popular Stan Lee character?
"Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world. With Tom, we've found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man's story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe." – Producer Amy Pascal
Find out below which talented young actor has been tapped to play Peter Parker next.
When I first heard the premise of this film, I thought it was going to be a typical Hollywood disaster movie. You know what I'm talking about- a glamorization of the tragic events from that dreadful day in 2004. Can you believe it's been eight years since then?
Thankfully, The Impossible is more than an action movie. It's a powerful story about the strength of the human spirit. The film tells the real-life harrowing tale of a family's experience surviving the tsunami while on Christmas vacation. Though it's based on a Spanish family's story, the film switched things up and transformed them into a British one. There's the Hollywood twist 😉
I first saw the film a couple of weeks ago at an early screening, but since reviews are embargoed til opening day, I've been chomping at the bit to write my article. Mere words can't even begin to describe how fantastic this film is and don't even get me started about the performances. I'm so glad the film is getting some recognition during the awards season. Truly well-deserved.
At the beginning of the awards season, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty looked unstoppable. With Lincoln leading the pack with 13 nominations at the 2013 Critics Choice Movie Awards, it's looking like a two horse race for the Best Picture Oscar. The Steven Spielberg film earned CCMA nods for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Best Supporting Actor (Tommy Lee Jones) and Best Supporting Actress (Sally Field) to name a few.
Also scoring multiple noms is Jennifer Lawrence. The 22-year-old actress has four chances to win an award when the winners are announced on The CW on Thursday, January 10, 2013. She's in the running for Best Actress, Best Actress in a Comedy, and Best Ensemble for The Silver Linings Playbook, as well as Best Actress in an Action Movie for The Hunger Games. Her Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper was also recognized.
Out of all the nominations, the one I'm most excited for is Naomi Watts finally getting some love for her amazing work in The Impossible. I attended an early screening of the flick and was blown away. It's her movie along with Tom Holland's breakthrough performance. That kid is EVERYTHING in the tsunami flick. Holland as well received some love from the Critics Choice Movie Awards. Check out all the nominees below.
A couple of days after Kathryn Bigelow's film scored top honors from the New York Film Critics Circle, Zero Dark Thirty nabs another win. The National Board of Review bestows Best Film honors to the Osama bin Laden movie. Bigelow also won for Best Director. Is Zero Dark Thirty the film to beat at the upcoming Academy Awards? It's certainly a contender, but keep this in mind. The last time the NBR picked the eventual Oscar Best Film winner was back in 2008 when Slumdog Millionaire danced its way to the podium.
Zero Dark Thirty also earned an award in one of the acting categories. Jessica Chastain who plays a CIA agent on the hunt for bin Laden won Best Actress. Bradley Cooper beat out Oscar frontrunner Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) for Best Actor for his work in Silver Linings Playbook. On the supporting front, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ann Dowd were honored for Django Unchained and Compliance respectively.
Out of all the winners, the one I'm most ecstatic about is Tom Holland's win in the Breakthrough Actor category. I literally just walked out of a screening for The Impossible and can't say enough great things about Holland. He was EVERYTHING in that film. The trailers made it look like it was all about Ewan McGregor, but it wasn't. The entire movie is an acting tour de force from Holland and Naomi Watts. Definitely check out this film. Be warned: bring lots of tissues. I cried at least ten times. Check out the rest of the winners below.

Sonos Controller for Mac and PC (2012) pictures and hands-on
Sonos has updated its Mac and PC software, bringing with it a number of new features and a complete overhaul to the user interface. Pocket-lint has been using the new software for the past week to see how much of a difference it makes.
The apps, according to their maker, "will make it easier than ever to find, control and play music in any room - right from your favourite desktop or laptop".
Put simply, that statement is bang on. The Mac and PC software has been out of touch with the rest of the music system for some time and the update brings a new approach that now resembles the iOS and Android apps, in particular, the iPad app interface. It also refers to several new features, including a mini-player window and full screen mode.
The new Mini Controller is just as it sounds and, like iTunes, you can now shrink the app down to just an album cover. You can then have it hovering in a spare space on your desktop rather than giving you a stack of information you don't need. The addition of the album cover is a nice touch and still lets you enjoy cover art - which has almost been lost with the move to a constant flow of digital tunes out of our speakers.
Likewise, the move to full-screen mode isn't compulsory, but is welcomed if you like that kind of thing on the Mac. While we aren't sure it works with some apps, having your music full screen here somehow does: maybe it's all about reminding us of the ease of use the iPad app offers.
As iPad users will tell you, the benefit of having a larger workspace is that it is so much easier to manage and control everything.
Also like the iPad app, the interface is broken down into a number of tiles and columns regardless of whether you are using it on the PC or the Mac. The top bar is all about the player controls, volume and search, while the middle rest of the interface is broken down into three columns: rooms, now playing and music.
The "rooms" column is where you manage your zones and the new system lets you group zones quickly and easily.
"Now playing" details the track that is playing and your all-important queue with a similar interface to the iPad. It allows you to edit, save and clear quickly. Tracks can be dragged up and down the queue to re-arrange the order.
The third column is about searching and selecting your music and the source - be it your local music or something from a service like Spotify.
Acknowledging that multiple search boxes are a user interface nightmare, the controller now offers a single-search box which can change which service it searches via a drop down menu. The system is very similar to how you can quickly change search engines in Firefox, and if that doesn't make sense either, just know that it is easy.
Everything, as you would imagine, is now drag and dropable, and managing your queue is considerably easier. Find the track you want, drag it to the queue, move on. It really is that simple.
The new controller also brings instant volume control and a one-touch Party Mode that lets you set the volume in your grouped rooms simultaneously. It is simple but clever.
Also drastically improved is the ability to access both the Sleep Timer and Alarms from the main window without having to go hunting for them in the menu settings. Although you still don't get the chance to set the length of time you want your alarm to go on. It sounds like we are picking faults for picking faults' sake, but is it really hard to let us set an alarm to play the music for the time you want rather than set incremental times?
We've been playing with the new software on both the PC and the Mac for a while on two separate systems, one on the PC with two zones (one by the time the screenshots were taken, because of spring cleaning), and one on the Mac with five zones. And it must be said that the new Sonos Controller is a vast improvement both in looks and performance.
There are still frustrations. You can't, for example, control playback via your keyboard's playback keys. Nor can you use the software to turn your computer into a further Zone in order to truly have one music software app to manage all your music services in your house, be it a Sonos system or your desktop.
However, we're still very impressed. Sonos Controller 3.7 is more than a lick of paint.
The free update is available on your system from today with the apps for Android and iOS updating shortly.

A Tea Party Kerfuffle! by VelvetRedBulletWatch
©2014-2016 VelvetRedBullet
We've had a couple of nice days in Scotland, hope it doesn't end yet!
This is awesome! I love the colours of the tea and the grass, and the arrangement of the teacups is perfect. I feel the colourful light spots are less effective - they might work better if they were slightly less cluttered, or if they were blended with a gradient overlaying the image? The tea splashing down has been captured in a perfect moment of stilled motion though, especially with the droplets spraying out. Really gets the feeling of Wonderland across - well done!
Oh, and thanks for the fave ^ ^
Oh, and thanks for the fave ^ ^
great great art
You fascinating work!
What great movement such an interesting shot you've composed!
This picture remind me of my dear friend. Thank you for that it's awesome. Mainly the splash ^^.. and collors, and watch, and cards... well, hopefully you get the point ^^
whow this is a great photo - so much going on !! Very nice
like in Alice in Wonderland < 3
like in Alice in Wonderland < 3
thank you dear!
its actually for my alice in wonderland college project!
its actually for my alice in wonderland college project!
I love this! The water spilling out of the teacup looks like a bubble!
Those are the cutest tea cups Jen-Jen!
Great shot Sweetie!
Great shot Sweetie!
What a fantasy!
Wonderful mad scene Jen-Jen. the flowing tea adds to the chaos
You captured just the perfect moment
