Nuclear staining has never been easier
ReadyProbes® nuclear stains for live and fixed cells
What they are
Cell-permeant and -impermeant nuclear stains in ReadyProbes® format are available in multiple colors. All emit bright fluorescence when bound to DNA and are formulated in a room temperature–stable solution and come in convenient dropper bottles. Two drops per milliliter of medium is all it takes to stain your cells.
What they offer
- Exceptionally bright fluorescence when bound to DNA
- Rapid staining of live or dead/fixed cells without wash steps, using a convenient dropper bottle
- Room temperature–stable formulation eliminates need to dilute, weigh, or pipet
How they work
The cell-permeant NucBlue® and NucRed® Live reagents stain DNA and nuclei of both live and fixed cells and can be used for counterstaining, DNA content, and total cell counting. The membrane-impermeant NucBlue®, NucGreen®, and NucRed® Dead stains easily stain cells with compromised cell membranes, yet don't enter living cells. They are ideal for discrimination of live and dead cells, and staining of fixed cells and tissue slices. Finally, propidium iodide is a classic dead-cell marker for flow cytometry applications, and we are pleased to make it available in ReadyProbes® format.

|Rapid staining of dead cells using NucGreen® Dead stain. HeLa cells were treated with 0.5 µM staurosporine to induce apoptosis and cell death and stained with NucGreen® Dead 488 ReadyProbes® Reagent (2 drops of reagent per milliliter of medium). Overlaid DIC and green channel images were collected over a 6 hr period using a DeltaVision® Core microscope with a 40x objective. Images are gain- and exposure-matched.
Time course of cell death visualized using ReadyProbes® reagents. A549 cells grown in a MatTek glass-bottom dish were stained with both NucRed® Dead 647 ReadyProbes® Reagent and NucGreen® Dead 488 ReadyProbes® Reagent by adding 2 drops of the reagents per milliliter of complete medium and incubating for 20 min prior to disrupting membrane integrity by addition of DMSO/Triton® X-100 surfactant. The time-lapse video was acquired using a 40x objective on a DeltaVision® Core microscope using DIC, green, and far-red filter channels to show green nuclear staining in damaged cells.
No better time to react
Alexa Fluor® amine-reactive labels
What they are
You can conjugate these amine-reactive reagents with virtually any protein or peptide for subsequent use in fluorescence microscopy, high-content screening, and flow cytometry applications.
Different packaging sizes of the popular Alexa Fluor® amine-reactive dyes offer added convenience for performing small- or large-scale conjugations. The 3 x 100 µg size is ideal for optimizing reaction conditions, because it provides Alexa Fluor® amine-reactive dyes in single-use quantities, eliminating the need to perform multiple conjugations simultaneously or re-aliquot a larger unit size and risk losing material in the process. For large-scale reactions, the larger unit size eliminates the need to combine multiple vials.
What they offer
- Convenience—focus on the reaction, not dye handling, with optimized unit sizes
- Brightness—superior fluorescence intensity compared to other spectrally similar fluorophores
- Photostability—more time for image capture
How they work
Alexa Fluor® dyes are reactive molecules that can be used to add a fluorescent label to primary amines of proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules.

Detecting stem cell surface markers using fluorescently labeled IgM antibodies. Tra-1-81 antibodies were labeled using (A) Alexa Fluor® 488 SDP ester, (B) Alexa Fluor® 594 NHS ester, and (C) Alexa Fluor® 647 NHS ester. H9 human embryonic stem cells on a feeder layer of irradiated murine embryonic fibroblasts were cultured on hESC medium containing 20% KSR and 4 ng/mL bFGF. Cells were stained with dye-conjugated antibodies at 5 µg/mL, and images were collected on a Zeiss Axiovert® fluorescence microscope at 10x magnification.
Keep your cells healthy during imaging, and see the results in time lapse
EVOS® Onstage Incubator for EVOS® FL Auto Imaging System
What it is
The EVOS® Onstage Incubator is an environmental chamber designed specifically for the EVOS® FL Auto Imaging System. The environmental chamber fits on the automated X-Y stage. A small, separate control unit supplies the power and gas (air, CO2, and N2 for hypoxia experiments), and controls humidity and temperature. Several interchangeable vessel holders are available and make time-lapse imaging easy and convenient.
What it offers
- Easily controls a fully integrated environmental chamber for live-cell time-lapse imaging
- Precisely maintains physiological or nonphysiological conditions
- Intuitively sets all environmental and image acquisition parameters from the EVOS® FL Auto interface
How it works
Together, the EVOS® FL Auto system and the EVOS® Onstage Incubator enable precise control of temperature, humidity, and three gases for time-lapse imaging of live cells under both physiological and nonphysiological (e.g., hypoxia) conditions. Environmental settings and image acquisition parameters are all seamlessly integrated into the EVOS® FL Auto interface, creating a high-performance inverted imaging system with unmatched flexibility, ease of use, and superb optical performance for demanding live-cell time-lapse imaging experiments.
- Learn more about the EVOS® Onstage Incubator
Detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) in live cells using flow cytometry
CellROX® Flow Cytometry Assay Kits
What they are
We now offer three Molecular Probes® kits for oxidative stress detection via flow cytometry. The kits feature CellROX® reagents, probes that become brightly fluorescent when oxidized. Included in each kit is one of the CellROX® reagents formulated for use in flow cytometry, a color-matched dead-cell stain to distinguish dead cells from oxidatively stressed and nonstressed live cells, an antioxidant (N-acetylcysteine [NAC], to serve as a negative control), and an oxidant (tert-butyl hydroperoxide [TBHP], to serve as a positive control).
What they offer
- Fluorogenic probes—CellROX® reagents become brightly fluorescent when oxidized in cells
- Multicolor compatibility—minimal overlap with fluorophores excited by other laser lines, allowing easy multiplexing with other reagents
- Simple—cells can be stained in complete media or other appropriate buffers; no need for serum-free media
- Fixable—CellROX® Green and CellROX® Deep Red Reagents retain signal following formaldehyde fixation (CellROX® Orange Reagent is not compatible with fixation)
How they work
The three CellROX® reagents all detect ROS in live cells. Each reagent is cell-permeant and is nonfluorescent or very weakly fluorescent in the reduced state. Upon oxidation, the reagents exhibit strong fluorescence and remain localized within the cell. When used together with the SYTOX® Red Dead Cell Stain (or SYTOX® Blue Dead Cell Stain with CellROX® Deep Red Reagent), oxidatively stressed and nonstressed cells are reliably distinguished from dead cells by flow cytometry.
- Read more about using CellROX® reagents to streamline your oxidative stress measurements
- Learn more by downloading the CellROX® Green and CellROX® Orange Flow Cytometry Assay Kits manual (PDF) or the CellROX® Deep Red Flow Cytometry Assay Kit manual (PDF)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) detected by flow cytometry. (A) ROS levels detected by the CellROX® Deep Red Reagent are decreased in TBHP-treated Jurkat cells with pretreatment of cultures using NAC. The cells treated with the oxidant TBHP (red) have increased staining with the CellROX® Deep Red Reagent, compared to the cells pretreated with NAC (blue) and the control cells (green). (B, C) CellROX® Deep Red Reagent can be used in conjunction with SYTOX® Blue Dead Cell Stain to differentiate live stressed cells from dead cells. Jurkat cells were treated with (B) PBS or (C) 200 μM TBHP for 30 minutes before labeling with the CellROX® Deep Red Flow Cytometry Assay Kit. Note that the treated cells (C) have a higher percentage of cells under oxidative stress than the basal level of ROS observed in control cells (B).
Visualize autophagosome-to-autolysosome progression in live cells
Premo™ Autophagy Tandem Sensor RFP-GFP-LC3B
What it is
The Premo™ Autophagy Tandem Sensor RFP-GFP-LC3B is a fluorescent protein–based biosensor that reports the formation of the autophagosome, followed by the maturation of the autophagosome as the lysosome fuses to it to form the autolysosome. This biosensor provides a more in-depth investigation of autophagy in live cells, over time.
What it offers
- More in-depth autophagy data—monitor the maturation of the autophagosome into the autolysosome
- A complete solution—use in conjunction with LysoTracker® Deep Red to monitor the complete pathway of autophagy
- Highly efficient—BacMam 2.0 technology enables autophagy to be studied across a broad range of cell types, including primary human cells, neurons, and stem cells
How it works
The Premo™ Autophagy Tandem Sensor combines the autophagy marker LC3B with two fluorescent proteins, GFP and tagRFP. GFP is sensitive to low pH, whereas tagRFP is not. At the neutral pH of the autophagosome, fluorescence is observed from both GFP and tagRFP. Once the lysosome has fused, the pH drops, quenching GFP fluorescence and leaving only tagRFP fluorescence.
- Learn more about Premo™ Autophagy Sensors
Mechanism of action of the Premo™ Autophagy Tandem Sensor. (A) Schematic representation of BacMam-mediated gene delivery and expression of the Premo™ Autophagy Tandem Sensor RFP-GFP-LC3B. (B) Validation of the Premo™ Autophagy Tandem Sensor as a biosensor to report changes in pH in LC3B-positive compartments. Treatment of cells with the vehicle causes no detectable accumulation of autophagosomes, resulting in a diffuse pattern of GFP and RFP fluorescence. Inhibition of autophagy using either chloroquine or leupeptin A results in the accumulation of LC3B-positive vesicles (autophagosomes/autolysosomes). Chloroquine neutralizes the pH of lysosomes, and therefore GFP and RFP fluorescence emission is observed. Leupeptin A doesn't affect lysosomal pH, so only fluorescence from tagRFP is observed.
Site-specific antibody labeling in 3 easy steps
SiteClick™ Antibody Labeling Kits
What they are
The SiteClick™ Antibody Labeling Kits allow you to conjugate your IgG antibodies to Qdot® particles (525, 565, 585, or 605 nm emission) or DIBO‑modified R-phycoerythrin (R-PE).
What they offer
- Simplicity—in 3 simple steps, expertly attach Qdot® particles or R-PE to your antibody
- Quality conjugates—enzymatic labeling system keeps antibodies and antigen-recognition site intact
How they work
In the first step of SiteClick™ conjugation, the Fc region of the antibody is modified by β-galactosidase. The azide-containing sugar UDP-GalNAz is then added to the modified carbohydrate domain of the antibody via the β-1,4-galactosyltransferase (GalT)-catalyzed reaction targeting the specific N-linked oligosaccharide GlcNAc residues. This specific targeting maintains the integrity of the antigen-binding site on the antibody. Finally, the antibody (now containing an azide moiety) is conjugated to the DIBO-modified label (Qdot® particle or R-PE) in a copper-less click reaction with a simple overnight incubation.

Accurate microRNA quantitation
MyQubit miRNA Assay
What it is
The MyQubit miRNA Assay for use with the Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer allows easy and accurate quantitation of small amounts of miRNA even in the presence of ribosomal RNA, using a combination of existing Life Technologies reagents, common buffers, and the MyQubit miRNA Assay file. The MyQubit miRNA Assay is based on the Quant-iT™ OliGreen® ssDNA Reagent, which exhibits a large increase in fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids.
What it offers
- Sensitivity—accurately detect as little as 0.5 ng miRNA, even in the presence of ribosomal RNA
- Simplicity—add your sample (in any volume between 1 μL and 20 μL), then read the concentration using the Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer
How it works
The MyQubit miRNA Assay is selective for small RNA, unlike other RNA detection methods such as the NanoDrop® UV-VIS spectrophotometer A260 assay or even the Qubit® RNA assays (see figure). The MyQubit miRNA Assay has a dynamic range of 5–500 ng/mL miRNA. The MyQubit miRNA Assay file can be downloaded from the bottom of the Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer web page and permanently uploaded to your Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer. In addition to the MyQubit miRNA Assay, the MyQubit firmware preloaded on all new Qubit® 2.0 instruments allows you to create other assays for your Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer. Because the instrument is operated by simple commands, creating additional applications can be as straightforward as matching the spectral characteristics of the assay with the right LEDs and emission filters.

Quick and easy cell cycle analysis at your benchtop
Tali® Cell Cycle Kit
What it is
The Tali® Cell Cycle Kit provides a room temperature–stable, ready-to-use solution for convenient and accurate determination of the percentage of cells in each phase of the cell cycle. This kit contains a single solution composed of propidium iodide (PI), RNase A, and Triton® X-100 in buffer at optimized concentrations.
What it offers
- An all-in-one solution—contains everything you need to stain cells for cell cycle analysis
- Simple protocol—fix your cells, add reagent, incubate, and visualize
- Flexibility in analysis of results—data can be analyzed on the Tali® instrument or easily exported for in-depth analysis using modeling software of your choice
How it works
PI is a red-fluorescent molecule that binds DNA and RNA by intercalating between the bases with little or no sequence preference; the binding is proportional to the amount of these nucleic acids, so PI can be used to accurately determine the amount of cellular DNA for cell cycle studies after treating samples with RNase. The Tali® Cell Cycle Kit includes both PI and RNase in a single solution.

Qdot® nanocrystals conjugated to antibodies for flow cytometry
CD2, CD19, CD4, and CD45R primary antibodies
What they are
Qdot® primary antibody conjugates of the mouse anti–human CD2 and CD19 markers and the rat anti–mouse CD4 and CD45R (B220) markers are available in a variety of colors for flow cytometry.
What they offer
- Compatibility—use together with organic dye conjugates to increase the number of detectable parameters
- Stability—nanocrystals do not degrade over time like tandem conjugates, so they afford greater reproducibility
- Minimal single-laser compensation—narrow emission spectra allow for minimal compensation when using a single excitation source
How they work
Qdot® nanocrystal primary antibody conjugates have extremely bright fluorescence emissions that make them well suited for the detection of low-abundance cell-surface proteins. They can be efficiently excited using a 405 nm (violet) light source. In addition, the narrow, symmetric emission profiles of Qdot® conjugates require substantially lower compensation compared to conventional fluorescent conjugates, enabling better, more efficient multicolor assays using the violet laser.

ABfinity™ recombinant monoclonal and oligoclonal antibodies offer consistent results, minimizing the need to revalidate working antibody dilutions for your experiments each time you order. Life Technologies currently offers hundreds of ABfinity™ recombinant antibodies, and we are actively developing more.
What they offer
- Specificity—undergo rigorous validation
- High performance—proven consistency from lot to lot
- Efficiency—detect low-level targets with a small sample
How they work
ABfinity™ antibodies are produced by transfecting mammalian cells with high-level expression vectors containing immunogen-specific rabbit antibody heavy chain and light chain cDNA. This highly reproducible process results in superb consistency in lot-to-lot antibody performance.
ABfinity™ oligoclonal antibodies are mixtures of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. These combine the improved signal strength that can come from using polyclonal antibodies, with the highly reproducible results you get from ABfinity™ monoclonal antibodies.

State approves $400k for Orange County Airport
The Texas Transportation Commission approved approximately $400,000 for improvements to the Orange County Airport at a May meeting.
According to a press release from the Texas Department of Transportation, the funds are earmarked for planned airport improvements including engineering and construction of new hangars at the facility. Project costs will be funded through Orange County and TxDOT's Aviation Facilities Grant Program, which was designed to preserve and improve the state's general aviation system. A project consultant will be selected this summer, the release read.

Officials from New Mexico and Japan, including Gov. Susana Martinez, gathered en masse to dedicate the new Smart House Monday afternoon, which is the last link in the $53 million Smart Grid demonstration project.
"The Smart Grid and Smart House are pioneering results stemming from the strong collaboration between Los Alamos County, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology and Development Corporation), efforts that will demonstrate how to meet a community's residential power needs," Gov. Martinez said.
"This is the first U.S. international project of its kind. And as we stand here today, with project construction complete, I know that New Mexicans across the state are proud to have reached such a significant milestone," she told the crowd.
Norio Sasaki, president and CEO of Toshiba Corporation, called the technology for this demonstration project the most advanced in the world. The project combines several key elements to test and improve Smart Grid technology.
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Thirty-five years after leaving Earth, Voyager 1 is reaching for the stars.
Sooner or later, the workhorse spacecraft will bid adieu to the solar system and enter a new realm of space — the first time a manmade object will have escaped to the other side.
Perhaps no one on Earth will relish the moment more than 76-year-old Ed Stone, who has toiled on the project from the start.
"We're anxious to get outside and find what's out there," he said.
When NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 first rocketed out of Earth's grip in 1977, no one knew how long they would live. Now, they are the longest-operating spacecraft in history and the most distant, at billions of miles from Earth but in different directions.
Wednesday marks the 35th anniversary of Voyager 1's launch to Jupiter and Saturn. It is now flitting around the fringes of the solar system, which is enveloped in a giant plasma bubble. This hot and turbulent area is created by a stream of charged particles from the sun.
Outside the bubble is a new frontier in the Milky Way — the space between stars. Once it plows through, scientists expect a calmer environment by comparison.
NASA has recently release video of the NASA Curiosity rover landing from the jettison of the head shield to the touchdown.
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have observed for the first time how a laser penetrates dense, electron-rich plasma to generate ions. The process has applications for developing next generation particle accelerators and new cancer treatments.
The results, published online Aug. 19 in Nature Physics, also confirm predictions made more than 60 years ago about the fundamental physics of laser-plasma interaction. Plasmas dense with electrons normally reflect laser light like a mirror. But a strong laser can drive those electrons to near the speed of light, making the plasma transparent and accelerating the plasma ions.
"That idea has been met with some skepticism in the field," said Rahul Shah of LANL's plasma physics group. "We think that we've settled that controversy."
The team, which also included researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany and Queens University in Belfast, UK, used the 200 trillion-watt short-pulse TRIDENT laser at Los Alamos National Laboratory to observe the transparency phenomenon at 50 femtosecond resolution. Until now, those dynamics have been witnessed only in computer simulations.
NASA's Curiosity rover has zapped its first Martian rock, aiming its laser for the sake of science.
During the target practice on Sunday. Curiosity fired 30 pulses at a nearby rock over a 10-second window, burning a small hole.
Since landing in Gale Crater two weeks ago, the six-wheel rover has been checking out its instruments including the laser. During its two-year mission, Curiosity was expected to point the laser at various rocks as it drives toward Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-high mountain rising from the crater floor.
Its goal is to determine whether the Martian environment was habitable.

Bill targeting tax delinquent feds hits a conservative sweet spot.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday signed off on a bill that would lead to the termination of any federal employee delinquent on federal taxes. With just the right amount of loopholes, the bill hits a conservative sweet spot: perceived abuse by government employees, the new "welfare queens."
Introduced by Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, the bill, H. R. 249, would require termination of any federal employee against whom the IRS has filed a lien. With some exceptions: It wouldn't apply to members of the military, or to those who can claim financial hardship (though the measure requires that such scofflaws be counted and reported back to Congress). It applies, in short, to postal workers, employees of any executive branch agency, or any employee of the legislative branch. An almost identical bill passed the House last year, but died in the Senate.
Chaffetz generally credits his politics to Ronald Reagan, not uncommon for a Republican politician. But unlike many of his peers, Chaffetz had the opportunity to meet and work with the former president. In the early 1990s, Reagan signed on as a motivational speaker with Utah-based Nu Skin, a skincare company for which Chaffetz worked as a spokesperson. (Which couldn't have been an easy job.) When he left, Reagan gave Chaffetz an autograph, a pair of cufflinks, and a political philosophy.

I've been told my ggg grandfather, James Mark Roberts b. 1859 d. 1933 originally from Hall Co., Ga cannot be located due to records being destroyed in fires @ courthouse. Where do I go from here? No living relatives to ask.
James daughter, my gg grandmother Della Mae Roberts Smith b. 8/6/1895 d. 9/8/1974 ( gave birth to 20 children - one husband, Melvin Fletcher Smith b. 4/24/1885 d. 4/24/50. My gg grandmother never knew her Roberts family, her mother drowned with her baby Cora in a river. Della was 5 years old - she survived. I have seen census records for DElla & Melvin, but that does not help me find James' parents, his wife's name, etc.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Looking for info. mother of: Della Mae Roberts Smith b. 1895, d. 1974 Hall Co.,Georgia
Would like to find information on ggrandmother Della's mother's family. I do not know her name for certain. I think I was told it was: Chloe Cooper. She was married to James Mark Roberts - she died when a buggy capsized in a swollen river with her small baby daughter, Cora.
James Roberts b. 1859 d. 1933 buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery in Morrow, Ga. (Della's father) was a musician. His best friend, Melvin Fletcher Smith married my ggrandmother at age 13. It's a big mystery. She lived in Georgia all her life, born in Hall Co.,lived in Atlanta, Clayton County is where she died. The only other info. I know is that James had a brother, Robert (Bob) Roberts found dead by a railroad track. My ggrandmothers family all lived in Hall Co., Ga.
James brothers: Early & Robert, 1- sister (name unknown).
If anyone knows of the incident where my ggg grandmother lost her life with baby Cora, would you please respond? I need to know who James parents were too. My gg grandmother never knew, though she desperately wanted to know. James would not discuss his family. The only reason she knew of Early, is because she remembered playing with his son, Early and Uncle Early.
Jennie was married to John Newton Conner (about 1850) She is buried in Lily, Ga. Any info. would be appreciated.
I believe Jennie had siblings: Josh, Jolly, Molly (hearsay) not sure.

COARSE GRAINS: U.S. 2012/13 feed grain supplies are increased slightly with higher corn production
more than offsetting a reduction for sorghum. Harvested area for corn is lowered 346,000 acres, but a 1.1-bushel-per-acre increase in the estimated yield boosts production 55 million bushels. Sorghum
harvested area is nearly unchanged, but a 1.3-bushel-per-acre decrease in the estimated yield lowers production 9 million bushels.
Projected corn use for 2012/13 is raised with higher expected feed and residual disappearance more
than offsetting reduced prospects for exports. Feed and residual use is projected 300 million bushels higher based on September-November disappearance as indicated by December 1 stocks and on higher expected beef, pork, and poultry production. Corn exports are projected 200 million bushels lower reflecting the slow pace of sales and shipments to date and increasing pressure from larger supplies and exports for South America.
Corn ending stocks are projected 44 million bushels lower at 602 million. The season-average farm price for corn is unchanged at $6.80 to $8.00 per bushel. While stiff competition has limited U.S. corn exports, higher domestic disappearance leaves the balance sheet historically tight and is expected to support continued strong and volatile prices well into summer, particularly in the domestic cash markets.
Other 2012/13 feed grain changes this month include increases in projected sorghum, barley, and oats feed and residual disappearance as indicated by the December 1 stocks. Sorghum exports are
projected 35 million bushels lower with feed and residual use projected up 50 million bushels. Oats
exports are lowered 1 million bushels, based on the pace of sales and shipments to date. The seasonaverage sorghum farm price is raised 20 cents at the midpoint to $6.70 to $7.90 per bushel.
The barley farm price is projected down 5 cents at the midpoint to $6.10 to $6.70 per bushel on lower reported prices for malting barley. The projected oats farm price range is narrowed 5 cents on each end of the range to $3.60 to $4.00 per bushel.
Global coarse grain supplies for 2012/13 are projected 2.9 million tons higher mostly reflecting the
larger U.S. corn crop and increased corn production for South America. Paraguay corn production is raised 1.1 million tons on a higher projected yield, which is in line with historical yield and production revisions this month. Brazil corn production is raised 1.0 million tons on higher expected yields with favorable December rainfall across the southern growing areas. Argentina corn production is raised 0.5 million tons as lower harvested area is more than offset by higher expected yields. Heavy rains and flooding in November and December delayed planting and reduced area prospects. Since then, clearing weather, the absence of threatening heat, and abundant soil moisture have set the stage for strong year-to-year yield increases, particularly in the central growing region.
Partly offsetting these increases are reductions in corn output of 0.5 million tons for Russia and 0.1 million tons each for the Philippines and Serbia. Changes for Russia and Serbia reflect the latest government estimates. The smaller expected crop in the Philippines is based on the latest assessment of typhoon damage in December.
Changes to 2012/13 global coarse grain exports, in the aggregate, are small this month, but increases
in 2011/12 and 2012/13 local year corn exports for South American countries have substantial
implications for U.S. corn exports during the 2012/13 September-August marketing year. Exports for
Argentina are raised 0.5 million tons for 2011/12 and 1.0 million tons for 2012/13. Exports for Brazil are raised 0.5 million tons for 2011/12 and 1.5 million tons for 2012/13. With the local marketing years in both of these Southern Hemisphere countries running from March through February, increases in both years weigh against U.S. export prospects for 2012/13. Similarly, in Paraguay, where the local marketing year runs from January through December, corn exports are boosted 0.6 million tons and 0.5 million tons, respectively, for 2011/12 and 2012/13, also reducing prospects for U.S. corn exports during the current marketing year. EU-27 corn exports are also raised 0.5 million tons for 2012/13.
Global corn consumption for 2012/13 is raised 5.6 million tons mostly on the increase in U.S. corn
feeding this month. Consumption is raised slightly for Paraguay, but lowered slightly for Russia and
Serbia. Global corn ending stocks for 2012/13 are projected 1.6 million tons lower with lower expected stocks in the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. Stocks are raised for Paraguay with the larger projected crop.

No one is doubting Jim Harbaugh's quarterback decision now.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
Colin Kaepernick ran roughshod all over the Green Bay Packers in his first NFL playoff start, leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 45-31 win. The 49ers are headed back to the NFC Championship Game, but they didn't need a last-second touchdown to get there this time.
Kaepernick rushed for an NFL-record 181 yards and two touchdowns on just 16 attempts, including two kneel-downs. He threw for another 263 yards and two scores on 31 attempts. To put it another way: Kaepernick gained more yards than the entire Packers team. And it wasn't even close.
Green Bay's defense simply had no answer for Kaepernick's speed and running ability. After an early interception returned for a touchdown, the 49ers ripped off six touchdowns and a field goal in their next nine drives. When the Packers tied the score at 24 early in the second half, the 49ers answered with three long touchdown drives.
The 49ers were too physical for the Packers on both sides of the ball. Green Bay was lucky just to keep the game close, considering how much San Francisco dominated up front and how clueless its defense appeared for everything the 49ers threw at it.
It's hard to watch Kaepernick's performance and not think that the quarterback position is changing. Players like Kaepernick, Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton won't reinvent the game. But there is no denying that teams are doing a better job using these quarterbacks' unique, multifaceted skill sets early in their careers. The NFL is infamously conservative, but it is also a league of evolution. Kaepernick's strong arm, blinding speed and San Francisco's creative offense looks a little different than anything we've seen.
To repeat: No quarterback has ever rushed for more yards in any NFL game. Kaepernick did it in his first playoff appearance.
This sort of thing isn't supposed to happen. But it just did, on a huge stage. Change can be a beautiful thing.

Introduced in 1986, the Maryland Million, a program of races restricted to the offspring of Maryland-based stallions, has been duplicated by more than 20 other states. Maryland-sired thoroughbreds are nominated before they become 2-year-olds and remain eligible for life to run in the Maryland Million races. After twenty-seven runnings, more than 220 stallions have been represented in Maryland Million races.
Thanks to Jim McKay's love of his home state and thoroughbred horse racing, Maryland breeders have one day a year that they can stand proud and potentially pickup a few new clients. McKay originally proposed the concept and remained Chairman of the Board until his death five years ago. Twenty-two times attendance figures have topped 20,000 for the event.
Twenty-seven horses have won more than one Maryland Million event. Nine former winners are entered Saturday, including five runners looking for back-to-back scores: Action Andy (Sprint), Roadhog (Turf), Pagan Priestess (Ladies), Varborough (Starter Handicap), Motherload Hipster (Distaff Starter Handicap).
Only five (5) runners have won three (3) times on Million Million Day… Safely Kept Distaff-1989-90-91), Countus In (Ladies-1989-90-91), Mz. Zill Bear (Ladies-1993-94-95), Docent (Sweepstakes-2001 & Classic-2002-03) and Ben's Cat (Turf Sprint-2010-2011-2012).
Ben's Cat has a chance to move into the record books. Owner/trainer King T. Leatherbury cross-entered the 7-year-old son of Parker's Storm Cat into both the $125,000 Turf and $100,000 Sprint.
Leatherbury said Thursday morning the decision would go "down to the wire" (he's expected to decide by Friday afternoon), but may have tipped his hand adding, "A mile is not my choice. If I was writing the race myself it would strictly be sprints. He's won distance races but they weren't impressive. He just won them. It wasn't one of those wows.".
The first 4,000 full-paid admissions and Maryland-licensed owners and trainers will each receive a free Maryland Million Sport Cap. On-track entertainment between races will include two pony races, Suttler Clydesdales, Goshen Foxhounds, Great Falls Vaulters and Special Olympics Maryland and a visit from Joey of War Horse fame, brought to life by puppeteers. What?! No wiener (Dashsund) dog races?
Party at the Park, located trackside in Paddock Park, will feature food truck fare, a full bar cornhole as well as Jeremy Plonk and Brian Nadeau from Horse Player Now's Night School providing expert analysis of the card.
HRTV will have a live presence for the entire card with hosts Caton Bredar and Dick Jerardi on site. First post for Saturday's 11-race program is 12:15 p.m. EDT at Laurel Park.
A few weeks ago, Jose Villegas, an exercise rider at Laurel Park was involved in a training accident which left him paralyzed from the waist down. With the local horse racing focus on Maryland Million Day, Frank Vespe founder of The Racing Biz website spearheaded an online handicapping contest to help Jose and his family.
Please join me as there's a voluntary/optional $5 contribution to participate. Click HERE for more information.
It's a beautiful day to go to lovely Laurel Park and celebrate this rich thoroughbred horse racing tradition in Maryland. Good Luck!

Natural Colic Calming Remedies
Flush with the success of my predictions with Aidan, I confidently gave it another go with Ammie — 'he's good-natured, unusually good-natured, social, and, yes, mellow, definitely mellow' — he moved only gently and easily day and night, and when he did kick, would happily kick away under the expectant hands of family and strangers alike. Their colors show themselves immediately, I believe, and if they don't, I liked to believe my happy predictions anyway — because who wants to believe they are about to give birth to a little hellion?
Imagine my surprise then when, after a first few newborn weeks that neatly fit my expectations, my little Angel turned Gripe-y. I don't mean a little gripe-y either, 5-7 witching-hour gripe-y. I mean ALL THE TIME. Nothing satisfied him. And whether imagination or intuition took over at this point, I don't know. All I knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, was that this was NOT his inherent nature. Maybe it never is with any baby. After an embarrassing number of sleepless nights, internet searches, and shame… I decided to go back to my roots as a pediatric expert — and go extreme.
I called my husband at work, suddenly empowered again. "I do this for a living!" I cried in revelation. "We can put all our resources to work and figure this out — he's uncomfortable!" This was the start of the best baby-weight-loss program EVER — I cut out every food that was featured on any list ANYWHERE of gassy foods, foods to avoid, culprit foods, you name it. In other words, I cut out everything I liked.
No milk, no onions, no beans, no peanut butter, no cruciferous vegetables, no gluten, no — ah the last holdout — no chocolate. (Remember please, with pity, dear ones, that I gave birth to Ammie right before Thanksgiving and Christmas.) And, lo and behold, within a mere week, Ammie turned in to the fantastic sleeper, and good natured love that he is today — we call him "The Smile Factory." I slowly — and one at a time, experimented with which foods I could bring back — I am breastfeeding after all, which means, I'm hungry! and ultimately narrowed it to a list that makes us all happy — no onions, no cheese, no beans (except, occasionally, lentils), no tomatoes, and, strangely, but definitely, no white rice. At lunch with my sister-in-law a couple months later, she revealed that these are the same foods that have always and still cause her trouble, down to the very last one (Genetics, that crazy thing it is.) We did some other things too, things I'd like to share with any mama or papa or beleaguered babysitting grandparent in hopes that it will help them to unearth their baby's inner angel as well, and most importantly, bring sweet babies the comfort we desperately wish for them.
But first, the moral. More than one, in exchange for all the sleep lost.
- Mamas know their babies. If you think your baby is acting in a way that is inconsistent with their inherent nature, trust your deep knowledge of this little being — they probably are giving you a message the only way they know how.
- Everyone's got advice – I was given everything from belly belts to colic foot cream – none of it bad, not all of it practical. In the end, it came down to trial and error – every baby is different.
- Well, I'd like to think there's a third… Oh yes. "This too shall pass." I'm sorry. And I promise.
Now here's what has worked for me, personally and professionally:
* Food Restrictions
While opinions even within the scientific community differ as to how much effect the foods mama eats while nursing has on her breastmilk or her baby, proteins from the foods you eat are absorbed through your intestines and into the bloodstream — and from here, finds its way into the milk in unknown quantities. Many babies don't have much to any problem with this; however, if your baby is colicky, your diet is worth a second look. It is my clinical experience that many cases of colic are caused by mamas eating foods that are making the milk difficult for babies to digest. This is especially true if your baby seems to have bouts of crying followed by expulsion of gas, or if your baby has constipation, diarrhea, rashes, or congestion. I am also suspicious of food sensitivities if baby was premature, or if you or your spouse have a family history of digestive or respiratory difficulties.
When baby arrives, the lining of his or her intestines is immature, making it more difficult to digest and absorb foods for the first six months than it will be in the months that follow. This is why most pediatricians and childcare experts recommend waiting to start solids with your baby for at least six months (in some cases, I even recommend a bit longer). If your child cannot tolerate an ingredient you are ingesting, this does not mean he or she will be sensitive to it forever — but for now, avoiding it could give baby — and you! — much needed comfort.
Scientists know that flavor from foods is also transmitted to the breast milk — and may not only have a correlation to baby's enjoyment of the milk, but may also correlate to what foods baby will like as solids (in other words, a mama who eats lots of carrots while nursing may have a baby who likes carrots as a solid — for more interesting information on this connection, check out: Here). Its not such a leap then, that the foods we eat also have an impact on the digestability of the breast milk for certain infants – a tenet of Grandma's kitchen table wisdom in many cultures.
The main culprits:
- milk and dairy products
- cruciferous vegetables (including broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, kale, cauliflower)
- "gassy" vegetables (including onions, asparagus, green peppers, tomatoes)
- spicy foods
- wheat
- chocolate
- caffeine (in coffee, tea, some sodas)
- soy
- peanuts
- citrus
- shellfish
- iron supplements (or the iron in your prenatal if you're taking them)
These aren't the only culprits (remember, beans and white rice really set my little guy off – although it took me a while and a good food log to believe it), but they are the most common. Which, if any, are culprits for your baby is a personal, and somewhat tedious matter to unearth. Either go extreme and eliminate the main possibilities and then add back in, or unearth likely suspects by backtracking through your worst days with a good diet log. And give this project time. It took nearly a week to notice that the colic had disappeared — which, not coincidentally, is sometimes the amount of time it takes for a food to leave your system. If you're not sure about some of the foods on this list, experiment by adding them back into your diet after a week of eliminating them. Some of these foods are really good for you (and by this of course, I'm talking about chocolate. :))
* Lactobacillus Reuteri
A gram-positive bacterium that is found in the intestines of birds and mammals, l. reuteri falls into the category of "probiotics" (the beneficial bacteria that makes yogurt and fermented foods popular health boosters). Studies show that the effects of l. reuteri are very specifically beneficial to colicky babies (and not replicated by other probiotics, even of the infant-formulations). A study conducted in 2007, shows that after 4 weeks of taking l. reuteri drops, crying time was reduced by 74 percent.1 A 2010 study replicated these findings with similarly positive results.2 Be forewarned when you head to the local health food store or pharmacy for these — even with all the great research to support its efficacy, I had many well-meaning folks try to steer me toward other probiotics that don't contain this strain — they're wonderful for other things, but have not demonstrated the same effectiveness in cases of colic — in fact, they sometimes have generated the reverse.3 The l. reuteri had to be special-ordered and is not inexpensive (ringing up at somewhere around $30 for less than a week's supply), but after weeks of crying (first Ammie, then me), I would probably have hocked my wedding ring for the possibility of sweet relief. BioGaia Protectis Baby Probiotic is what we used — a liquid formulation that you give to baby by the drop.
* Tummy Circles
One of the most effective ways to provide comfort to a colicky baby and to stimulate healthy digestive function is also one of the easiest. First lie your baby down on his back in a comfortable location. Then with the pads of your four closed fingers or the palm of your hand, gently push while rotating your hand to make medium-sized clockwise circles around your baby's belly button. Continue in a clockwise direction 50 to 100 times, or for a few minutes. It's unclear whether this has an effect on colic in the world of western medicine, but age old traditions of qi gong and other eastern practices place the center of much energy at this area in the body — stimulating and soothing the area around the umbilicus increases the strength of baby's "Qi" (roughly translated as active life force). This couldn't be bad, right? I've found it to be entirely therapeutic.
Here's what others swear by:
* Swaddling: From popular books like "The Happiest Baby on the Block" to Dr. Sears' indispensable compendium, "The Baby Book" — and tracing its roots again back to Grandma (and Grandma's Grandma), — swaddling, the technique of wrapping baby up tightly in a light blanket to simulate womb conditions (read: Tight!), and ameliorate the stresses of newly developing, not-quite-controllable limbs, is something many parents swear by to calm everything from a case of the tired fussies to downright aggravated babies. It doesn't hit the roots of colic at it's core — however, any safe calming techniques could only help. The larger question seems to be, does it calm? This seems to depend on the baby. Limited research has found the calming effects of swaddling to be temporary — after a few days, there seems to be no difference between the crying in swaddled and unswaddled babies.45 On the other hand, some babies are very sensitive to stimulation — and the newborn startle reflex is, well, startling. My main bias, however, is that my babies didn't like swaddling at all. Maybe I had a small uterus and they were just relieved to finally be unrestricted. That's my theory. My firstborn preferred to sleep with arms and legs splayed out like he was making a big snow angel. But if it works for you, by all means… (When not to swaddle: when they're just born. Skin-to-skin contact here, with unrestricted hands and arms helps breastfeeding, calming, and bonding significantly better than any amount of swaddling.)
* Baby Herbal Tummy Packs: My former neighbor, just about the nicest gal in the world, and mama to a now one-year-old, first provided cookies on the day of his birth, and then her baby herbal tummy pack, called "Happi Tummi" a few weeks later. Her daughter cried inconsolably during the first few months — a microwavable belt filled with such olfactory delights as chamomile and lavender, along with the warmth of the belt on baby's belly was her number one aid in relieving her daughter's misery. My Indian friend also swears by the benefits of a warm herbal pack on baby's belly. The warm tummy pack soothes and relaxes the possibly-stressed, definitely tense intestinal muscles of an unhappy infant. You can buy the Happi Tummi version, or for DIYers, make your own by placing uncooked rice in a muslim or linen sack, adding essential oils of your choice – lavender and chamomile are best bets for babies- to the rice before placing in the sack. (Sew Mama Sew gives great instructions for DIY packs). Heat in microwave for 15 seconds and please, test on inside of wrist before placing on baby. Place it over the onesie or sleeper to avoid it getting too hot on baby's sensitive skin (lets not add injury to insult…) Then remember this technique for when baby gets older — warm belly packs are absolutely great for stomachaches and bedwetting in older kids as well.
* Gripe Water: Here's another remedy folks swear by. I keep it in the diaper bag myself. Chalk full of great tummy-relieving herbs such as ginger and fennel, it performs the minor and immediate miracle of stopping my little one's hiccups in their tracks (boy, did he hate the hiccups for a while!) There are a lot of gripe waters on the market, however, and all are not created equal. Aniseed is a common ingredient, but also a common allergen, and gripe waters that use essential oils are generally way too strong for babies (this is internal we're talking). You want to look for natural, optimally organic ingredients, and no alcohol or simethicone. We tried a couple of different kinds and used Mommy's Bliss with the greatest success, but there are a number of other reputable brands out there for your own trial and error research — Wellements, Colic Calm. Did any of them stop the colic? Verdict's still out on that one for us, but certainly didn't hurt. It's available Here on Amazon.
* Tea for Mama: fennel seed, Indian celery root? 1/2 – 1 tsp of fennel seeds steeped in hot water for 10 minutes (you can include 1-2 slices of fresh ginger while you're at it) is a remedy that seeks to work at the level of "what mama eats, baby eats." Hopefully it makes your milk more digestible and more palatable to your little one. Some Indian friends insisted that I should add Indian Celery root to this homebrew – and gave me some of their own that family and friends routinely bring back from India for them. It doesn't smell the same as the celery root in my own pantry. Again, I cannot say with certainty that it helped, but just the ritual moment taken to nurture myself every evening (boiling the water, steeping the tea) was a therapeutic act.
And When is Colic no longer "Colic"? Red Flags That It's Time to Visit or Revisit Your Pediatrician or ER:
- if your baby's cry becomes shrill or harsher than usual, or lasts for a longer interval than usual
- if your baby's poop or pee habits change dramatically or are accompanied by blood
- if the crying always comes at feeding time and includes writhing, arching, twisting
- if your baby's soft spot is bulging
- if your baby becomes listless or lethargic
- if your baby's cry is more of a weak moan
- if crying is accompanied by a fever or temperature drop
- if baby is vomiting repeatedly and/or with blood
- if your intuition says it's time for outside support, something's just not right
And if none of this works? My favorite mantra during the crying weeks was, "I love my baby, and he is perfect for me." Corny? Maybe. Obvious? Generally. But it helped. Blessings to all the mamas and papas out there who are in the midst of weathering the storm.

E-Textbooks and the iPad Learning Classroom
If your students use iPads in the classroom for collaboration and research, you may want to add e-textbooks. Like digital e-books, e-textbooks for iPads can offer interactivity and search capabilities that make them easier to use than their traditional paper cousins. But do e-textbooks exist? And if so, where can you find them?
Educators who have embraced technology in the classroom will be happy to hear that we've finally reached a period of transition where many traditional publishers are recognizing the need to publish and promote e-textbooks. In addition, smaller publishers and even individuals now have the technology to create and distribute their own textbooks — something that wasn't possible when textbooks had to be mass-produced and sold through traditional sales channels.
The dust is still settling, and a variety of e-textbook formats are on the market. In the case of the iPad, the iBookstore has an iBooks Textbooks category and the content in it has started growing rapidly.
Apple has released a free software program for the Mac called iBooks Author, with the specific intent of allowing authors to create e-textbooks for the iPad and distribute them through the iBookstore.
Other publishers are releasing interactive textbooks as apps. That gives them more capability to add features such as monitoring and reporting on student progress. Sites such as Inkling focus solely on interactive textbooks and have apps for a variety of platforms, including iPads.
Amazon offers e-textbooks for iPad through its Kindle app. Other major sources for e-textbooks include CourseSmart, Kno and Chegg.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Lawson Fusao Inada
After the war, Inada went back to school and discovered music. He played bass while studying at Fresno State University and developed a fascination with the rhythms of jazz. This interest is evident in his poetry, which often uses the sophisticated rhythms and musical structures of this truly American musical form. Inada went on to study at the University of Iowa's writing program, and has taught at Southern Oregon State College since 1966.
According to poet Shawn Wong, Inada's rise to preeminence among Asian American poets happened almost by accident. Wong and two other aspiring Asian American writers -- Frank Chin and Jeffrey Paul Chan -- had become friendly during the 1960s, and they were looking for other Asian American poets with whom to share ideas. They found Inada. "In a bookstore," remembers Wong, "I saw an anthology of Fresno poets [Down at the Santa Fe Depot] with a picture of them on the cover. And in the picture I could see a Japanese guy. I called him up, and it was Lawson Inada. I said, 'You're a Japanese poet? We want to meet you.' We all met at a party with Alex Haley, Richard Brautigan, Ishmael Reed, and we talked about how, before we knew we were going to be writers, we were first going to be doctors and engineers like our parents wanted us to be."
In 1971, Inada's debut collection of poems, Before the War, became the first volume of poetry from an Asian American writer to be published by a top New York publisher. In 1983, Inada helped to edit Aiiieeeee!: An Anthology of Asian American Writers. It was the first anthology of Asian American writing, and was co-edited by Wong, Chan, and Chin. The group -- sometimes referred to as "The Gang of Four" -- has been credited with pioneering the field of Asian American literature; they are known both for mentoring new Asian American poets and for reviving work by earlier writers like Toshio Mori and John Okada.
Inada has published a number of books of poetry and has been recognized as one of the most significant American voices to speak about the experience of the Japanese internment camps. He has won numerous fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, was named Oregon State Poet of the Year in 1991, and won the American Book Award for Legends From Camp in 1994.

MONACO (AP) — For the first time in nine years, the Monte Carlo Masters trophy belongs to someone other than Rafael Nadal.
The Spaniard's record reign at the clay-court tournament finally ended Sunday as he lost 6-2, 7-6 (1) to top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the final.
THE KISS: Djokovic and his shiny trophy
Nadal won his 46 previous matches and the last eight titles at Monte Carlo — beating Djokovic in last year's final — and his last defeat here was against Guillermo Coria 10 years ago. Nadal missed the 2004 tournament through injury before winning his first Monte Carlo title the following year.
Nadal then beat Roger Federer in the next three finals. His eight straight titles were an ATP record for one tournament.
"I cannot be happier than I am in this moment knowing what I've been through the whole week, actually two weeks," said Djokovic, who twisted his ankle two weeks ago playing for Serbia against the United States. "If somebody told me 10 days ago I'd be winning the trophy, I wouldn't think it's so realistic, to be honest."
Djokovic faced Nadal for the 16th time in a championship decider, and they are now 8-8 in finals. The Spaniard had won the previous three, including the French Open final last year.
"I think he played a little bit better than me, especially in the first set," Nadal said. "I felt that I was playing really well the second set and I was having more chances than him."
Djokovic sensed Nadal was there for the taking.
"I knew after yesterday's match that I had a feeling that I had a big chance to win against Rafa if I was on the top of my game," Djokovic said. "The first six, seven games, eight games, were unbelievable. It's the best that I can play on clay."
Nadal looked set to take the match to a third set after opening up a 4-2 lead in the second, but his serve let him down. Especially in the 12th game, when Djokovic broke him to love to take the momentum back heading into the tiebreaker.
News, notes and highlights from the world of tennis, featuring Serena & Venus Williams, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and more!
"When I was 6-5 down, I think out of next 10, 15 points, I lost only one. So that's an unbelievable effort at that stage," Djokovic said. "Analyzing the game and the matches that I had against him in the past on different surfaces, I know if I can play on that level for long period of time, I have a very good chance of winning."
Nadal has reached five consecutive finals since returning from a knee injury in February — winning three, and losing two — while Australian Open champion Djokovic won his third title of the year and 37th overall.
But Nadal still feels he is some way short of full fitness.
"I need a little bit more physical performance," he said. "That's the real thing, to play all those points with the same intensity."
Djokovic sealed the victory on his first match point with another booming forehand winner.
After a brief shower, the match started with a delay of around 45 minutes, and the Serb raced ahead 5-0 in just 25 minutes. Neither player has won a set 6-0 against the other in 34 meetings, but Djokovic came very close before Nadal summoned up the strength to save five break points in the sixth game.
Djokovic won the first game easily, concluding it with an ace; Nadal then dropped serve by returning wide.
It was as a sign of things to come in a first set in which Djokovic hit 14 winners to Nadal's seven and made almost half as many unforced errors.
After 25 minutes of brutally effective shot making by Djokovic the unthinkable started to look very possible: that Nadal could lose a set on clay 6-0.
French Open winners Roger Federer and Gaston Gaudio, and French Open runner-up Guillermo Coria, have managed it, and Djokovic came very close. But Nadal dug deep, winning one mammoth point that spanned 27 shots, and landing crucial serves.
Nadal held before moving ahead for the first time, breaking Djokovic and holding for 4-2. Then, after Djokovic had dropped his serve again in the 11th game, Nadal had a chance to level the match on his serve.
Instead, he crumbled, and he looked despondent in the tiebreaker.
Their finals have gone in cycles: Nadal won the first five; Djokovic the next seven; Nadal the following three.
With the French Open five weeks away, Djokovic has chosen a good time to buck the latest cycle.
"Of course, I want to win Roland Garros," Nadal said. "That's no secret. But I need to keep on having the right positive mindset."

Life-Cycle Studies: Umbrellas
An early 18th century English dictionary defines an umbrella as a "screen commonly used by women to keep off rain." Men too, of course, shelter from downpours under umbrellas, but the devices were invented—as long ago as 1400 BCE in China and Egypt—as protection from the sun, mainly for nobility. The Latin root of umbrella, umbra, means shade...

How does this sound to you: a banana pound cake cupcake, covered in peanut butter mousse frosting, topped with salted peanuts, a wedge of peanut butter cookie, and drizzled with honey?
Well, this cupcake--the "Elvis"--was as delicious as it sounds, and it was just one of many delectable items obtained at Chestnut Hill's Bredenbeck's Bakery.
Now, as you probably aready know, CakeSpy has had a bakery crush on this place for the longest time--recipes for ghost cupcakes and dude-friendly beer and chip cupcakes have been featured on the site. So it was an absolute joy to visit the actual bakery--open in Philadelphia since 1889 --in person and sample some of their sweets for ourselves.
Other than aforementioned Elvis Cupcake, what did we sample? So glad you asked.
We tried a bit of their seasonal Eggnog ice cream--similarly deliciously decadent.
After that, why not follow up with a seasonal sugar cookie (but obviously a 2 and 0, because seriously, the 1s looked like they had far less surface area). Buttery. Sugary. Good.
We finished with one of their slices of buttery pound cake. Simply awesome.
Of course, due to limited time, some of the things that sadly were not sampled included:
The "Chestut Hill" Torte (a sort of rich chocolatey confection);
...or the cannoli, brownies, or other delicious looking cakes.
But there's always something for next time, right?
Totally worth a visit: this bakery was chock-full of unfussy, but totally buttery, baked goods that will make you smile.
