Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Shade some cells such that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent, all unshaded cells form a single orthogonally connected region, and no 2x2 area is fully shaded or unshaded.
If a digit X appears in a shaded cell, it must appear in exactly X shaded cells.
Clues outside the grid give the sum of all digits in a contiguous set of unshaded cells in the row or column next to the clue. The set must be bounded on each side by either a shaded cell or the edge of the grid. Clues are not necessarily given in the same order that the sets appear in the grid. Each clue must refer to a different set of cells.

Beautiful puzzle. Just spent 90 minutes on it and developed a series of stunning deductions that led to...Well, a completely impossible to solve grid. Think I'm going to restart and try again later.
Edit: Alright after letting this sit in my "in progress" list for a few months I finally got around to finishing it. Hooray!

This is an excellent puzzle - such a creative ruleset so elegantly applied. Having said that I did find it extremely difficult!

Brilliant puzzle! Very hard to get the count of the shaded cells and then to get the numbers to fill those cells. I loved it. Thank you

Magnificent - intricately logical and, for me, very hard. It was a Sunday afternoon puzzle finished on Monday evening ... and what an interesting combination of rules.
