Have a Simultaneous Sound Experience With Sonos

Have you ever dreamed of being able to hear music in all of the rooms in your home at once? The Sonos Wireless HiFi system allows you to do that.  “Sonos allows for music to be a social experience again,” said Sonos senior PR manager Eric Nielsen.

Choose from a number of wireless speakers and audio components, which allow you to play songs from your digital music collection from one app that you can control from any device, whether it be your computer or your phone, thanks to a dedicated wireless network. Opt for the Playbar to amplify your television’s sound and have a movie theater-quality listening experience, or enhance your music.  Go for a Play:1 speaker for smaller rooms, and a Play:5 for the biggest space in your house.

“If you want the whole house to play the same thing at the same time or if you want different things in different rooms at the same time you can make the listening choice that is right for the moment,” said Nielsen. “ Sonos allows any music from any source to be played in any room.  Customers can also choose from over 30 music services as well as songs from their music collection so they don’t have to change their listening habits.  We additionally have an alarm feature that allows you to wake up to any music or radio station you need to start your day with.”

Whether you want to wake up to NPR or blast a customized play list at your next house party, unwind alone, or have a rager with all your friends, pick Sonos and experience its crystal clear sound all over your home.

What’s the deal with Bryson DeChambeau? The Open Championship controversy explained
DeChambeau drew ire and measured responses over the weekend.

It was Ryan Fox who birdied the 18th hole on Sunday to win The 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Despite the electric finish, all anyone's talking about is Bryson DeChambeau, who was given a two-stroke penalty following Friday's second round. The penalty has apparently divided the golf community, but the fact remains that DeChambeau's response to the penalty over the weekend took away from Fox's triumphant moment. And now, word is that DeChambeau reportedly tried and failed to rope President Donald Trump into said controversy.

The drama unfolded after Friday's second round, when it seemed DeChambeau finished the day in sole possession of second place with a -7 under score heading into the third round. At least it appeared that way -- until the leaderboard was updated to reflect a two-stroke penalty against DeChambeau, after officials claimed he stomped on the grass behind his ball to improve the line of his swing at No. 5. That, officials say, violates Rule 8.1, which states that, in order "to support the principle of 'play the course as you find it,' this Rule restricts what a player may do to improve any of these protected 'conditions affecting the stroke' (anywhere on or off the course)."

And just like that, Argentina's luck ran out. Spain's Ferran Torres emphatically found the back of the net from 8 yards out in extra time to secure La Roja a 1-0 win and the country's second World Cup. Torres' goal came in the 106th minute, but don't let that fool you: this was a one-sided contest from start to finish, and a deeper look at the box score reflects that.

I predicted Spain would beat Argentina, 3-1, and from the start it seemed like that prediction would come to fruition. Spain came out swinging, almost immediately recording two shots on goal, including an early header that came so close to finding the back of the net. Spain's relentless attack was evident throughout the match. La Roja applied pressure with swift passing and precision shots. Just ask Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez, who seemed to be the only one playing defense, making one spectacular save after another, 11 to be exact.

England-France playing for third place an instant World Cup classic
It was only for third place, but what a thriller.
Head, Person, Face

If you tuned in for the World Cup England-France game and checked out at halftime, nobody would have blamed you. The Three Lions led 4-0 at the half in a third-place game that was a blowout. You would have been right to assume England was in complete control and France had all but given up. You also would have been forgiven for turning off the TV and moving on to the rest of your Saturday. But for those who stuck it out, you were rewarded for your patience and loyalty.

France didn't waste any time getting on the board just three minutes into the second half with Kylian Mbappé's first goal of the game. Mbappé's goal didn't matter all that much at that point, except if you've been following the Golden Boot race. England still held a commanding 4-1 lead, thanks to goals from Declan Rice (3rd minute), Ezri Konsa (18th), and Bukayo Saka's brace (37th and stoppage time). Saka would complete the hat-trick in the 87th minute with a penalty conversion.
