Puzzle #105 - Heyawake

Another day, another Heyawake with a restrictive theme. I wanted to construct a puzzle with clues 0 to N for some value of N. This one seemed to be coming together nicely but the final resolution ended up being particularly nasty. On a different day I might have reworked the puzzle to make the ending work out more smoothly, but perhaps you'll enjoy this one anyway.

Rules

Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally-connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. An unbroken horizontal or vertical line of unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border.

Difficulty: 6/10
