Bicipital tendinitis, or biceps tendinitis, is an inflammatory process of the long head of the biceps tendon and is a common cause of shoulder pain due to its position and function. The tendon is exposed on the anterior shoulder as it passes through the humeral bicipital groove and inserts onto the superior aspect of the labrum of the glenohumeral joint. Disorders of the biceps tendon can result from impingement or as an isolated inflammatory injury. Other causes are secondary to compensation for rotator cuff disorders, labral tears, and intra-articular pathology.

Biceps tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the biceps tendon, which connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder.

I have a well-used and greatly loved Kay bass for sale. From my research it is a 1942 model. If you are looking for a pristine-looking bass, then this one is not for you. I played it for several years in a bluegrass band. It looks rough as a cob, but I think it has a great tone. My circumstances have recently changed, so I need to sell it, but it feels like I'm selling an old friend.

The serial tag says Genuine Kay Bass Viol 0-10013 Model Ser. No. 9873. I tried to get a good picture of the tag, but it did not come out well. I'd be glad to post more pics and answer questions as best I can. I'm asking $1400 OBO. I am located in Missouri.

Whether your workspace is miles from your home or right there amongst your books and Battlestar Galactica figurines, it probably has something in common with at least a few other readers' (and my own)—the ability to attract clutter, make important documents and objects hard to find, and, over time, become an actual impediment to getting things done. Some of us are able to work in a way that doesn't leave things a mess and clean as you go, but for those of us who can't trust our instincts, a system that corrects itself is needed. Today I've rounded up a few of our best tips for getting your workspace in order and keeping it that way without a cerebral transplant.

Tiction is a flexible, nodal music sequencer.

It’s pretty simple: Each node represents an event, and a connection from one node to the next triggers the next event after a certain number of tics. Nodes send MIDI note messages and/or MIDI controller change messages when triggered. Connecting nodes in a circuit lets you start a repeating pattern when one of the nodes is triggered.

"The debut video for Brooklyn ghost-punk band These Are Powers defies description. Just watch…"

Playing Kathryn's show; ghost punk? "Influences: futurists, zeitgeists, earthships || Sounds Like: "They came in this world soaked in blood from the Titans. The thunder breaks the frozen air while lighting zigzags to the bottom of the skies. The volcanoes burst and the duplicated mountains share while the ground trembles and leads to the breaking waves which again bring Atlantis to surface. They are elementary - fire, water, and air, wrapped in pointed coats of metal and diamonds. Their cry shrieking is wild and terrible, and all the alive things know them and fear. They inhale the depths of infinite and spit comets brilliantly extreme from their forked languages, rectifying together the crowned pyramids which are their teeth. They are the plague and the beauty of Nature."–La Maladie Tropicale "

Ghost Punk? "These Are Powers make music like cashmere lightning. We are free. We are a language of sound. We are hymns piggybacking on noise collages, club beats and ragas. We are a celebration. We are present in dreams and energy. We are the dynamics of being and the infinity of possibility. Union and improvisation strengthen us. We are future primitives who tour lots and live in Brooklyn and Chicago."

The text of the Rosarium is quite peculiar in that it seems almost to move in and out of focus. At one point in a section one seems to have a clear precisely drawn idea, which as it is developed in the text becomes more unfocused, more diffuse, and one finds oneself unclear as to what level the text then refers. Then, just as one’s puzzlement is growing into irritation, the text moves sharply back into focus with another clear statement of an idea. This may be a quite conscious technique on the part of the anonymous writers rather than just a failing of the translation.
