Shelter Cove Travel Tips
Relax in Comfort in Shelter Cove Vacation Rentals
When you stay in Shelter Cove vacation rentals, you can truly relax in comfort and luxury. Enjoy the gorgeous Pacific Coast from panoramic windows before you take a jog along the cove, or down the Avenue of Giants. When you jog along the Avenue of Giants, stop to take breathtaking photographs of the adjacent Humboldt Redwoods State Park. If you get up early enough, you can even enjoy a glorious sunrise from Tea by the Sea while you enjoy a fresh scone.
Shelter Cove Lodging is Practical and Well-Priced
For families who want to spread-out, Shelter Cove lodging is practical and well-priced. From your Shelter Cove vacation rentals, you can hike to King Range or to Black Sands Beach, for a quiet, peaceful picnic. People love to visit Black Sands Beach in the evening, when they are likely to be the only hikers on the fantastic Maui-like sands. For couples, a romantic trip to the Redwoods monastery that was built in 1868 can be the start of a wonderful day, and later you could visit the Cape Mendocino Lighthouse for spectacular views of the rocky cliffs along the Pacific Ocean. During your stay in Shelter Cove, make sure you stop by Arcanum Ranch Pottery for one-of-a-kind souvenirs that you will cherish forever. The creators of the pottery will let you photograph the wood and fire kiln, and discuss the process of pottery making with you, too.
Experience North California Coast Travel
You can experience North California Coast travel again, for the first time. No matter how many times you have visited this unique part of California, there are always activities that will be new to you. The coastal towns of North California are each unique and special for different reasons, so you will love every trip to Sonoma County when you stay in Shelter Cove vacation rentals.

Perhaps the reason there's no good tutorials out there on the blogosphere is because no one has yet achieved this successfully, or at least not without such agony that they've become unwilling to share their experiences.
Anyways, I'm nearly convinced that WordPress is going to be the CMS of choice for a fleet of new sites, and I'm committed to getting it going Multi, ie one installation of wordpress for multiple branded sites, each on their own domain.
Furthermore, it's not going to be acceptable to keep all these eggs in one basket. We predict that traffic is going to be highly fluctual; some days there may be massive deluges of traffic, more than one server can handle. Then other days there may be barely a trickle. These sites need to be load-balanced across multiple Front End Nodes to distribute these sudden loads and provide some failure-tolerance, PLUS we'd like the database to be either 1) clustered 2) federated 3) fault-tolerant with "warm slaves" or some such setup.
How would you do it?
Can WP3.0 - with the "network" option - host multiple sites across multiple, identical, front-end servers? And can it do that in a forward-compatible way, so when there are WP updates, we can actually install them? (ie I don't want to branch the code)

Practical Uses for WeakReferences
This is based on answers to Is there a practical use for weak references?
Since weak references can be claimed by the garbage collector at any time, is there any practical reason for using them?Answers
If you want to keep a reference to something as long as it is used elsewhere e.g. a Listener, you can use a weak reference.WeakHashMap can be used as a short lived cache of keys to derived data. It can also be used to keep information about objects used else where and you don't know when those objects are discarded.
BTW Soft References are like Weak references, but they will not always be cleaned up immediately. The GC will always discard weak references when it can and retain Soft References when it can.
There is another kind of reference called a Phantom Reference. This is used in the GC clean up process and refers to an object which isn't accessible to "normal" code because its in the process of being cleaned up.
(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
Daniel Michalik replied on Thu, 2012/11/22 - 11:10pm
Storing listener with weak reference in event source class is not as good idea as it seems at first glance. Listener instance is often created using anonymous class without reference to it, therefore the only pointer to listener is only from weakreference object which does not prevent garbage collector to remove it from memory.
aButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { ... });
Pierre-Yves Saumont replied on Thu, 2012/12/06 - 9:59am in response to: Konrad Garus
Think of a lazy initialized value. It is uninitialized until some user access it for the first time. So, if the initialization takes some time, the first access is slow, and subsequent accesses are faster. If you have many data like this, you may initialize them on the first access and keep a weak reference to them. The corresponding objects will stay in memory as long as the user holds needs (since he will have a hard reference to it). Once he does not need it anymore, you stay with a weak reference. If another user wand the data, he gets it fast as long as the weak reference holds, i.e. has long as there is enough memory. If memory gets low, the object is garbage collected and we are taken back the original case. If a user now wants the object, he will have to wait for a new initialization.

Yes, the crowds here are notorious for being a little chatty, but given the exquisite repertory and revival programming—plus gourmet snacks—this tastemaking downtown venue is still your best bet to relive that original thrill of seeing William Powell, Al Pacino or Jean-Paul Belmondo at their larger-than-life best. The schedule is consistently jam-packed with pre-Code oldies, '70s New York crime thrillers and more French classics than you can shake a baton at. 209 W Houston St between Sixth Ave and Varick St (212-727-8110, filmforum.org)
Place to laugh at funny people before they end up on SNL: Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
The original members of UCB (Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh) decamped from Chicago to start this NYC offshoot in the mid-'90s, but TV execs began taking notice of the improv venue's rising stars only a few years ago. Now, nearly every sitcom on NBC's Thursday-night lineup—along with Comedy Central favorites like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report—features performers who honed their craft at the Chelsea venue. We expect the recently opened UCBEast, a stand-up--focused outpost in the East Village, to serve as a similar incubator. 307 W 26th St between Eighth and Ninth Aves (212-366-9176, ucbtheatre.com) * 155 E 3rd St between Aves A and B (212-366-9231, east.ucbtheatre.com)
Small venue for checking out headlining comics: Carolines on Broadway
Yes, you'll pay a cover charge, and yes, there's a two-drink minimum. But the pleasure of seeing big-name comics (Dave Chappelle, Susie Essman, Tracy Morgan and others) in a more intimate setting is worth it. The club also hosts under-the-radar talent, like delightfully filthy Australian jokester Jim Jeffries, who will perform Nov 23 to 26. 1626 Broadway between 49th and 50th Sts (212-757-4100, carolines.com)
Literary hot spot: McNally Jackson Books
Its warm atmosphere, well-curated selection and convivial caf make McNally Jackson a book lover's beacon in Soho. But on a grander scale, the store is a guiding light for brick-and-mortar shops throughout the city. It opened nearly seven years ago amid declining print sales and a multitude of closing indies, stepping forward with an optimistic business plan and thoughtful programming that aspires to offer much more than authors carrying on behind a microphone. McNally's enthusiasm for books and its literary-minded customers have paid off, and it's always looking to improve upon a winning formula. Case in point: It has the city's first Espresso Book Machine, which prints a growing number of texts on demand for impatient bibliophiles. 52 Prince St between Lafayette and Mulberry Sts (212-274-1160, mcnallyjackson.com)
Reading series with a twist: Happy Ending Music and Reading Series
Great authors (and musicians) line up to be a part of Amanda Stern's monthly show at Joe's Pub, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the fact that they can't just hide behind their words. Whether the writer in question is a Pulitzer winner like Jennifer Egan or former New Yorker Jonathan Ames—all scribes here tend to be high-caliber and have to have a book published in order to perform—they'll be required to take a risk onstage. Recently, A.M. Homes speed-dated several members of the audience and Jesse Ball taught the crowd how to steal a book from Barnes & Noble. Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette St between Astor Pl and E 4th St (amandastern.com). Next event: Wed 9 at 7pm; $15 plus $12 minimum.
Place to remember why you love Brooklyn: Brooklyn Historical Society
There's no better spot to trace Kings County's evolution from a Manhattan suburb to a diverse, artist-friendly hub than this Brooklyn Heights institution. Its permanent collection and rotating exhibitions mine the borough's past and present, while assorted events—such as a Brooklyn Brewery beer night or a lecture on the Crown Heights riots—examine the borough's historical, cultural and gastronomic legacies. 128 Pierrepont St at Clinton St, Brooklyn Heights (718-222-4111, brooklynhistory.org). Wed--Fri, Sun noon--5pm; Sat 10am--5pm. $6, seniors and students $4, children under 12 free.
Game night: Gameshow Speakeasy
This five-year-old show relocated to Le Poisson Rouge, but its zany, spontaneous format remains the same. Master of ceremonies Neil O'Fortune runs the proceedings, during which wisecracking panelists from New York's nightlife circuit try to guess the occupations of regular New Yorkers from all walks of life (a Hooters girl and a rocket scientist have challenged attendees in the past). A famous mystery guest also joins the festivities; past celebs have included Zach Galifianakis and Martha Plimpton. Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker St at Thompson St (212-505-3474, lepoissonrouge.com). Third Friday of every month 8pm; $5.
Not-boring lecture: 92nd Street Y and 92Y Tribeca
Whether you're seeking a literary conversation, stimulating analysis of current events or an evening of sing-alongs, this 137-year-old organization has you covered. Offerings at the 92nd Street Y's younger sibling, 92YTribeca, are typically quirkier and cheaper and often include a beer. Three cheers for uptown and downtown culture. 1395 Lexington Ave between 91st and 92nd Sts (212-415-5500, 92y.org) * 200 Hudson St at Canal St (212-601-1000, 92ytribeca.org)
Bar to sing your heart out in front of strangers (in a group): Marie's Crisis Caf
This small, basement piano bar needs no gimmicks to coax rousing choruses from its patrons. Named in part after "The Crisis" by Thomas Paine, who died in the abode where the bar is now located, and Marie's, a house of ill repute that once existed at the site, the beloved dive attracts Broadway babies from all over the city. Every night, a pianist mines the Great American Songbook well into the wee hours. 59 Grove St between Seventh Ave South and Bleecker St (no phone). Daily 4pm--4am.

Rise 60 hubs can be adapted to most axle configurations. The front accepts standard quick-releases or 15mm thru-axles. The rear can accommodate standard QRs or the newer 142x12 setups. The Rise 40 front hub is also convertible but the rear is not—it is available in either 135mm or 142x12 verions. SRAM also developed oversize front hub sidecaps that work specifically with RockShox forks, which they claim offers a better fit and increases stiffness by as much as 15 percent with a quick-release axle.

Video: Caught on cam: Man hooks 15-foot shark while fishing
PHOTOS: Check out the 2012 regional finals of the Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant!
Howell, Mich. (Livingston Daily) -- Dan Gee has caught and killed a lion, a kudu (African antelope), warthogs and reeled in some big fish during his 40 years of hunting and fishing.
The 52-year-old Michigan man, who has traveled to nearly 50 countries for his outdoor adventures, has endured some long workouts nabbing his trophies.
Yet nothing compared to the big fish - a 15-foot thresher shark - he hooked on April 2 during a family vacation in Florida.
"This is the biggest and strongest fight ever," Gee said.

He said it took more than three hours to haul in the shark, which he estimated was over 15 feet long and weighed 700-800 pounds.
"I've never caught anything like this," he said. "It's a pretty impressive fish."
He said thresher sharks are known for their large tails, which can be 6 feet long. He said a thresher shark smacks its prey with its tail, stunning the fish, and then turns around and eats the prey. He said his thresher shark had "eyeballs are about the size of a softball and a half."
WATCH: Video shows Dan Gee's struggle with the shark
He said the shark was hooked in its tail about 400 feet deep, and unlike other fish, he said it doesn't surface; it goes straight down. He was buckled into a chair, his fishing pole was secured into the chair, and he spent three hours reeling in the shark.
"My arms and legs felt like rubber for four days," he said.
As soon the shark was pulled close, he said, the crew saw it was a thresher, an endangered species. Therefore, they took some photos of the shark, tried to get some measurements and let it go back into the water.
"It swam away fine," he said.
Because it's an endangered species, he said that he would have faced serious fines if he had killed it and hauled it in.
Gee said he believes the shark he caught could have broken a record in Florida, but he's not clear how the catch would be verified. He said he's hoping the photos will help verify his shark as a record catch.
Gee, owner of Action Asphalt in Green Oak Township, said he's been hunting and fishing since he was about 10 years old. He has traveled to Honduras, Panama and Costa Rica for fishing expeditions.
On this trip, he was traveling with his 15-year-old daughter, Savanna, his fiancee, Sunny Sutton, and her three daughters. They left Fort Lauderdale on a charter boat for a six-hour trip and began fishing for black-fin tuna. He caught several tuna, and his daughter caught one.
Unfortunately, his fiancee and children didn't enjoy themselves.
"She and her three children were sick the whole time," he said.
Gee said they began fishing for swordfish and hammerhead shark when he caught the thresher shark.
He said his family was "freaked out" when the shark was pulled alongside the boat.
"To have a monster like that, you hate to let it go, but it's the best thing to do," he said.

This little gadget does a great job of pureeing soup right in the pot, sparing the need to decant into a blender or food processor, and whips eggs and cream like nobody's business. Easy to clean--the stalk pops right off and goes in the dishwasher. A great little tool.
Blends well, the main reason I bought it was the fact that you can remove the blade end and wash it. Other more expensive ones don't have that.
Mixer works great. Price was reasonable. A little louder than expected
weak weak weak these stick blenders suck. yes they are cheap, both in price and quality.
I bought this about a year ago and it works great for small blending jobs. I love how the mixer detatches for easy cleanup without possibly damaging the electrical componants. Also love the neon green color. Stores easily in a drawer.
I have a Kalorik glass blender also. Both are very good quality
for very light sauces doesn't really puree things... well not for me. I ended up giving this item away.

A Crown of Autumn Leaves
Opening air where they hang

- Healing Woman said...
I wanted to respond to your earlier post of felt peace flagss. They are beautiful hanging from tress and out in nature and I love the quotes, especially that of Gibran. He is my favorite of all time.
I am curious as to what you hung in the trees-the whispy flowing drap of cloth. It's rather haunting and lovely. - 8 October 2010 04:30
- Jasmine said...
Thank you Cheryl. The whispy flowing cloth is an eco dyed silk with nuno felted details. It was a gift from fibre artist Yvette of Felting Your Soul. I love it so much. Her work really is wearable art, I feel honoured to have it.

I'm obviously the only one slightly disturbed by the pictures. Beautiful, yes, but also such a sense of a presence, not quite of our world. And not entirely benign - some ancient spirit or force.
So, powerful, for me, but not pleasant. - 8 October 2010 14:10

The Romaniotes or Romaniots (Greek: Ρωμανιῶτες, Rōmaniōtes) are a Jewish population who have lived in the territory of today's Greece and neighboring areas with large Greek populations for more than 2,000 years. Their languages were Yevanic, a Greek dialect, and Greek. They derived their name from the old name for the people of the Byzantine Empire, Romaioi. Large communities were located in Thebes, Ioannina, Chalcis, Corfu, Arta, Corinth and on the islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Rhodes and Cyprus, among others. The Romaniotes are historically distinct from the Sephardim, who settled in Greece after the 1492 expulsion of the Jews from Spain.
A majority of the Jewish population was killed in the Holocaust after Axis powers occupied Greece during World War II. They deported most of the Jews to concentration camps, where they were killed. After the war, a majority of the survivors emigrated to Israel, the United States and Western Europe. Today a total of only 4,500 to 6,000 Jews, of both Romaniotes and Sephardic descent, remain in Greece.

WikiProject | ||||||||||||||
The earliest reference to a Greek Jew is an inscription dated c. 300-250 BCE, found in Oropos, a small coastal town between Athens and Boeotia, which refers to "Moschos, son of Moschion the Jew", who may have been a slave.[1] The Romaniotes are Greek Jews, distinct from both Ashkenazim and Sephardim. Jews have lived in Greece possibly since the Babylonian exile. A Romaniote oral tradition tells that the first Jews arrived in Ioannina shortly after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE.
In the 12th century, Benjamin of Tudela recorded details about communities of Jews in Corfu, Arta, Aphilon, Patras, Corinth, Thebes, Chalkis, Thessaloniki and Drama. The largest community in Greece was in Thebes, where he found c. 2000 Jews. They engaged mostly in cloth dyeing, weaving and making silk garments. At the time, they were known as "Romaniotes".
The Romaniotes had distinct customs, very different from those of the Sephardic Jews, and closer to those of the Italian Jews: some of these are thought to be based on the Jerusalem Talmud instead of the Babylonian Talmud. Unlike the Sephardic Jews, they did not speak Ladino, but the Yevanic Greek dialect and Greek. Romaniote scholars translated the Tanakh into Greek. A polyglot edition of the Bible published in Constantinople in 1547 has the Hebrew text in the middle of the page, with a Ladino (Judaeo-Spanish) translation to one side and a Yevanic translation to the other.[3]
Waves of Sephardic Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492; many settled in Ottoman-ruled Greece. They were richer, and believed themselves more educated and cultivated than the Romaniotes, so they formed separate communities. They also spoke a separate language, Ladino. Thessaloniki had one of the largest (mostly Sephardic) Jewish communities in the world and a solid rabbinical tradition. On the island of Crete, the Jews historically played an important part in the transport trade. In the centuries following 1492 most of the Romaniote communities were assimilated by the more numerous Sephardim.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Romaniote community of Ioannina numbered approximately 4000 people, mostly lower-class tradesmen and craftsmen. Economic emigration caused their numbers to dwindle and on the eve of World War II, there were approximately 1950 Romaniotes left in Ioannina. Centered around the old fortified part of the city (or Kastro), where the community had been living for centuries, they maintained two synagogues, one of which, the Kehila Kedosha Yashan Synagogue still remains today.
A strong Romaniote community was present in Corfu until the late 19th century, when a pogrom instigated by blood libel forced most of the Jewish community to leave the island.
During World War II, when Greece was occupied by the Axis powers, 86% of the Greek Jews, especially those in the areas occupied by Nazi Germany and Bulgaria, were murdered despite efforts by the Greek Orthodox Church and many Christian Greeks to shelter Jews. Although the Germans and Bulgarians deported numerous Greek Jews, many were hidden by their Greek neighbours. Roughly 49,000 Jews were deported from Thessaloniki alone and were exterminated.
The Romaniotes were protected by the Greek government until the Nazi occupation. During the occupation, the Romaniotes could speak Greek better than the Sephardim, who spoke Ladino first and whose Greek had a distinct, "singing" accent. The Sephardim were more vulnerable targets, and their language was one of the factors leading to such great losses among Sephardic communities. In Ioannina 1,860 out of 1,950 Jews were deported to Auschwitz and Birkenau in April 1944. Most of them were murdered by the Nazis.
The creation of the state of Israel in 1948, combined with the violence and anarchy of the Greek Civil War, was the final episode in the history of the Romaniotes in Greece. The majority emigrated to Israel or the U.S.
Present day[edit]
Today a small number of Romaniotes live in Greece, out of the approximately 4,500 to 6,000 Jews living in Greece today, both from the Romaniotes and the Sephardi subgroups; mainly in Thessaloniki, Ioannina and Athens. About 3,500 people live in Athens, while another 1,000 live in Thessaloniki.[6] The vast majority of Romaniotes live in Israel and the United States (mainly New York). These communities, though they identify as Romaniotes, now use the Sephardic rite: the distinctive Romaniote rite does not survive except in the form of certain hymns used by communities such as Corfu.
In Ioannina, the remaining Romaniote community has withered to a number of 50 mostly elderly people. The Kehila Kedosha Yashan Synagogue remains locked, only opened for visitors on request. Immigrant Romaniotes return every summer and open the old synagogue. The last time a Bar Mitzvah (the Jewish ritual for celebrating the coming of age of a child) was held in the synagogue was in 2000, and was an exceptional event for the community.[7]
The synagogue is located in the old fortified part of the city known as "Kastro", at 16 Ioustinianou street. Its name means "the Old Synagogue". It was constructed in 1829, most probably over the ruins of an older synagogue. Its architecture is typical of the Ottoman era, a large building made of stone. The interior of the synagogue is laid out in the Romaniote way: the Bimah (where the Torah scrolls are read out during service) is on a raised dais on the western wall, the Aron haKodesh (where the Torah scrolls are kept) is on the eastern wall and at the middle there is a wide interior aisle. The names of the Ioanniote Jews who were killed in the Holocaust are engraved in stone on the walls of the synagogue.
The Ioanniotiki Synagogue, situated above the Jewish Community of Athens offices at #8 Melidoni St., is the only Romaniote synagogue in Athens. Built in 1906, it has services only during the High Holy Days, but is opened for visitors on request through the Jewish Community office.
The Jewish identity of a building found in the excavations of the ancient Agora in Athens, is questionable. It is believed that the Metroon, found in 1930 at the foot of the hill Hephaestion (Thesion) was used as a synagogue during its construction at the end of the 4th century CE (396-400). This view was expressed by the archaeologist H. Thompson, from the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, but was not developed into a complete theory. The Jewish identity of the Metroon was based on the small piece of marble found near the Metroon, that had two Jewish symbols carved on one side, and the resemblance of the building to the synagogue of Sardis in Asia Minor.
One hour boat ride from Piraeus, the port of Athens, one can visit the Romaniote synagogue of Aegina. The synagogue was discovered in 1829 in the city of Aegina, near the ancient military port. The synagogue was originally discovered by the German historian Ludwig Ross, from the royal court of Otto. The floor was covered in order to be protected and was studied again by Thiersch in 1901, Furtwängler in 1904, E. Sukenik in 1928, and finally by the German archaeologist Dr. G. Welter, in 1932. The studies were completed by the National Archaeological Service. Based on the quality of the floor's mosaic, the building is believed to have been constructed in the 4th century CE (300-350 CE) and was used until the 7th century CE. The mosaic floor of the synagogue still survives (see photo below) and is made up of multi-colored tesserae, that create the impression of a carpet, in a geometric pattern of blue, gray, red and white. Two Greek inscriptions were found in front of the synagogue's entrance, on the western side of the building. Today, only part of the synagogue's mosaic floor is extant, and it has been moved from its original location to the courtyard of the island's Archaeological Museum.
United States[edit]
Only one Romaniote synagogue is in operation in the entire Western Hemisphere: Kehila Kedosha Janina, at 280 Broome Street, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where it is used by the Romaniote emigrant community.[8] It maintains a mailing list of 3,000 Romaniote families, most of them living in the tri-state area, but it often has difficulty meeting the minyan or quorum for worship on Shabbat and Jewish holidays.[8][9] It is open for guided tours to visitors on Sundays.[8]
Most Romaniotes in Israel live in Tel Aviv.[10] There are two Romaniote synagogues in Israel: the Zakynthos Synagogue in Tel Aviv, and the Yanina Synagogue in Jerusalem.
Notable Romaniotes[edit]
- Elijah Mizrachi, Hakham Bashi of the Ottoman Empire.
- Mordehai Frizis, officer of the Greek Army during the Greco-Italian War.
- Rae Dalven, a prominent Romaniotissa, particularly noted for her translation of modern Greek poetry.
- Amalia Vaka, a singer of Greek traditional and rembetiko songs with a successful career in the United States.
- Gabrielle Carteris, actress.
- Jack H. Jacobs, Vietnam War veteran. Medal of Honor recipient.

Sources close BET's "106 & Park" Rocsi and Young Money President Mack Maine is telling Gyantunplugged.com exclusively a very interesting tidbit.
People very close to the two tell GU.com that though they've been trying to keep it on the low, one of my new colleagues over at BET [more on that later] Rocsi and Mack Maine are in fact dating. Apparently the two are smitten with one another and have even been communicating with each quite candidly on twitter.
The two met months ago when Nicki Minaj visited the popular video countdown show. My sources say it was pretty much "love" at first site and they've been getting it in ever since. I'm told Rocsi jets off to New Orleans — her hometown- to meet up with Mack every chance she gets.
Rocsi posing with one of Mack Maine's homies Fatt at the home of New Orleans Radio Personality Jugga.
Apparently the two are getting hot and heavy and the two — and their families — have been spotted together all over New Orleans. And they've even spent Valentines Day and Easter together.
I don't have an opinion on their union either way, but remember who put you onto the news first!

Maybe he has mad ball skillz. Maybe Justice Hayes (who I don't remember playing defense in high school, but maybe he did) can't tackle worth a lick.
I'm not convined that Norfleet can't make an impact on defense. Maybe he won't be the #2 safety at any point, but maybe he can be #3. Maybe he's 5'8" or 5'9" now and packing on some weight. There are several examples of short-ish safeties being successful (Bob Sanders, Tyrone Carter, Javier Arenas, etc.).
I don't know the answer. All I'm saying is there are examples of success from the past, there are other options at RB in the same class, Norfleet has experience playing defense in high school, and he was mainly brought in to return kicks/punts. Those aforementioned things make me shrug my shoulders about this, if it's indeed a thing. It's not anything that we should be getting worked up about, in my opinion.

Species-Reactivity |
Human, Mouse |
The PathScan® Total p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2). A p44/42 MAPK mouse mAb has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, p44/42 MAPK is captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, a p44/42 MAPK rabbit detection mAb is added to detect the captured p44/42 MAPK protein. Anti-Rabbit IgG, HRP-linked antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate, TMB, is added to develop color. The magnitude of absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of total p44/42 MAPK.
Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.
Specificity / Sensitivity
CST's PathScan® Total p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) Sandwich ELISA Kit #7050 detects endogenous levels of total p44/42 MAPK protein (see Figure 1). The kit sensitivity is shown in Figure 2. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
Figure 1. Treatment of NIH/3T3 cells with PDGF stimulates phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK at Thr202/Tyr204, detected by the PathScan® Phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Thr202/Tyr204) Sandwich ELISA Kit #7177, but has little effect on the total level of p44/42 MAPK detected by PathScan® Total p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) Sandwich ELISA Kit. NIH/3T3 cells (80-90% confluent) were starved overnight and treated with 100 ng/mL PDGF for 5 minutes at 37ºC. The absorbance readings at 450 nm are shown in the top figure, while the corresponding western blots, using p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) Antibody #9102 (left panel) and Phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) (Thr202/Tyr204) (D13.14.4E) XP® Rabbit mAb #4370 (right panel), are shown in the bottom figure.
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a widely conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases involved in many cellular programs, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and death. The p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) signaling pathway can be activated in response to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines (1-3), and research investigators consider it an important target in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer (4). Upon stimulation, a sequential three-part protein kinase cascade is initiated, consisting of a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K), a MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK or MAP2K), and a MAP kinase (MAPK). Multiple p44/42 MAP3Ks have been identified, including members of the Raf family, as well as Mos and Tpl2/COT. MEK1 and MEK2 are the primary MAPKKs in this pathway (5,6). MEK1 and MEK2 activate p44 and p42 through phosphorylation of activation loop residues Thr202/Tyr204 and Thr185/Tyr187, respectively. Several downstream targets of p44/42 have been identified, including p90RSK (7) and the transcription factor Elk-1 (8,9). p44/42 are negatively regulated by a family of dual-specificity (Thr/Tyr) MAPK phosphatases, known as DUSPs or MKPs (10), along with MEK inhibitors, such as U0126 and PD98059.

This was taken at the Lion & Rhino Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. The same place Mischief was taken. While the brown lion cub was playfully naughty at 4 months old, this white lion cub could barely be bothered moving. He was 3 months old at the time.
He and his 3 siblings were content sitting in the shade, watching the brown lion cubs kick up a dust storm around us. Amazing what 1 month can make to behavioural differences!
All these cubs would have grown close to their full size by now and would be in the return to the wild program, teaching them how to hunt, kill and survive out there. The program is designed to help keep the white lion away from extinction, which sadly, it is dangerously close to at the moment.
