My Go-To Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream cheese frosting makes everything better. This recipe has appears on my blog so many times, I decided it deserves it's own post. I've used it to top cinnamon rolls, Oreo cupcakes, Carrot Cake Cheesecake, and everything in between.
When you're making cream cheese frosting, make sure you give the cream cheese enough time to come to room temperature. If it's still cold, the frosting will be clumpy. And no one likes clumpy frosting! I usually set mine out at least 2 hours prior to whipping up the frosting.
One Year Ago: Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting
Two Years Ago: Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cream Cheese Frosting
This is my go-to cream cheese frosting. It will make enough frosting for 12 cupcakes and can easily be doubled.
Yield: 1 cup (enough to frost 12 cupcakes)
4 oz cream cheese at room temp
1/2 stick (4 Tbsp) butter at room temp
1/2 Tbsp vanilla
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
Place the cream cheese in the bowl of your mixer. Beat on medium-high until completely smooth, 3-4 minutes. Add the butter and continue to cream until fluffy.
Add vanilla extract. Slowly add powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time) until desired consistency is reached.

I am going to try this today on a chocolate layer cake that I found the recipe for on epicurious…. Wish me luck! I will post how it turns out…..
I don't have an electric mixer. can this be made by hand and get the same consistency? I'm finding mine runny.
How long does the frosting keep in the fridge? Can I leave it for two days?
wil this work with home-made cream cheese? I make my own from sour cream by draining the liquids from it overnight in a cloth…

---- — LAWRENCE — Officer Daron Fraser is scheduled to return to the police department this week, 29 months after he was placed on paid suspension and later convicted of domestic assault and battery.
However, once he's back, the veteran officer will be without a seemingly crucial police tool —his firearm.
Fraser, 40, was placed on paid administrative leave in July 2010 after he was arrested and charged with beating his then girlfriend. A Haverhill jury convicted Fraser of domestic assault and battery in February 2011.
Despite police Chief John Romero's requests to fire him, Fraser remained on the city payroll until October 2012, before Mayor William Lantigua adopted a hearing officer's decision and suspended Fraser without pay for three months starting in October.
Methuen lawyer Robert LeBlanc, the hearing officer, also recommended Fraser be barred from working paid police details for four months.
Over the 29 months of paid suspension, Fraser earned more than $150,000 and kept accruing sick and vacation time and retirement benefits, according to city records.
Romero said Fraser will not be allowed to carry a firearm when he returns to work. Romero pointed to federal law that prohibits those convicted of domestic violence from carrying guns.
"Based on the federal statue and given his conviction, he cannot carry a gun and therefore will be assigned to dispatch," Romero said.
Hearing officer Leblanc said the officer should be allowed to return to work because carrying a gun is not required to perform the job as police officer.
Officers working paid details must also be armed so it's unclear if Fraser will be able to work paid detail shifts once that suspension is lifted in a month.
Fraser was found guilty of putting his knee on his former girlfriend's throat and gagging her. The woman later told The Eagle-Tribune this was not a case of domestic violence but rather a "giant misunderstanding." She also told jurors she and Fraser were "just playing."
After his conviction, Romero called for Fraser's firing, saying police officers should be held to a higher standard and he didn't feel Fraser could carry out the duties of a police officer any longer.
An internal affairs investigation concluded Fraser violated three department rules and regulations: conduct unbecoming of an officer, violation of state law, and failure to obey those rules both on and off duty.
The city paid Leblanc to oversee Fraser's termination hearing and issue a decision. Lantigua officially approved Leblanc's findings on Sept. 29. That same day, Lantigua ordered two police officers indicted on felony charges remain on the city's payroll during their suspensions.
Those two indicted officers, Deputy Police Chief Melix Bonilla and Officer P.J. Lopez, are both political supporters of the mayor. In official letters, Lantigua told both officers that while the charges they face are serious, they are both innocent until proven guilty and can stay on paid administrative leave until further notice.
Bonilla earns $140,000 annually and Lopez makes $62,000 per year.
On Sept. 11, Bonilla was indicted on felony charges connected to an ongoing investigation into Lantigua and his administration. Bonilla is accused of swapping 13 city-owned vehicles for four Chevrolets with a Lantigua friend. The state Inspector General said the city lost $30,000 in the deal.
Bonilla was Lantigua's campaign manager and was promoted from sergeant to deputy chief after Lantigua became mayor in January 2010.
On Sept. 26, Lopez was indicted by a federal grand jury. He is accused of making arrangements with a tow company to have cars he ticketed towed in exchange for a "stream of benefits" including a $4,000 snow plow. He faces charges of bribery, making false statements to a federal agent and obstruction of justice in connection with an unnamed towing company in Lawrence.
Fraser could not be reached for comment for this story.

Globe Staff Writer
JOPLIN, Mo. —
Cleta Mills loves the rush of tax season. Ever since the first time she pushed a pencil on paper and worked out refund amounts 27 years ago, she learned how to channel the rush of adrenaline that comes from the mad pace of 12-hour days with barely any breaks.
"If you don't love the job, this can be very miserable," Mills said. "I love doing taxes, meeting clients and helping them. It's just a feeling I get, knowing I've helped a person get through this."
That feeling is the ultimate reward for the tax preparers who are working like crazy right now.
But this year, that reward is delayed -- or in some cases, absent.
Gridlock in the nation's capital is making for some long days and nights for local tax preparers -- not to mention some unhappy taxpayers.
"I've been a tax preparer for 27 years for H&R Block," said Mills, a preparer for H&R Block in Webb City. "It's the roughest year I've seen for tax returns going through. This is impacting people directly, a whole bunch of people."
People who would normally expect to get their return by the end of January are having to wait much longer. Others are filing electronic returns with the intention of later amending that return with a paper filing.
"This is because the IRS, our congressmen and the president got nothing signed into effect until after the first of the year," she said. "They didn't open the doors to file electronically until Jan. 30. We couldn't file for the education credit until Feb. 14. Depreciation schedules opened after the 14th of February."
The adoption credit is not even open yet, she said.
"We have clients waiting for those forms to come through to file," she said.
Hectic business
The situation is making a frenzied time of year even more hectic for tax preparers, who spend the "off-season" studying new tax laws and assisting clients with extensions, audits or other tax matters.
When the first of the year rolls around, their schedules go into high gear, with extra hours and plenty of extra work. Tax preparers and accountants go to work early in the day and go home late at night.
Breaks don't happen often. Mills said she and her co-workers start a Crock-Pot dish of some sort in the mornings, and everyone takes what time they can to grab a bite.
This year's complications have forced tax preparers to cram their work into a much shorter time frame than they would normally have.
"It's compressed the time we have to file returns for people," said Dody Walker, with Vern Blood Tax Service in Joplin. "It's very, very condensed. Every year before now, we had a chart we could give to people that showed if their return was accepted by the IRS on this date you could expect to get your return on this date.
"We don't get those charts anymore. So, your guess is as good as mine," she said. "People look at us and ask when they can expect their return. We tell them: 'We can't tell you.' They ask: "Why not?' We tell them the IRS situation is completely out of our control.
"And heaven help you if your return is pulled for some reason or if they ask for additional verification. That could take another three to six weeks," she said.
Because there is so much identity fraud and theft, the IRS is taking its time this year to examine more closely the credits that are being claimed by individual taxpayers.
"They're cracking down on mileage," she said. "If you don't have a mileage log, if you don't have something written down, we can't do it. We tell people that if they keep good records, they don't have to worry. But if everything they are claiming is not legitimate, they should be nervous.
"If a person is expecting a return, we tell them: 'Don't spend it until you have got it.'"
Jim Hardy, with Hardy, Wrestler and Associates in Joplin, said, "The problem is our inability to finish a lot of tax returns because the IRS is not ready to accept the forms. It's a fly in the ointment that creates a backlog you can't clear out."
More work, less time
The changing of forms and policies within the IRS is affecting both individuals and businesses. Hardy said the majority of the accounting firm's work involves business clients who might have investment properties and partnerships where depreciation schedules are factors. Those depreciation schedules have been held up.
This has translated into overtime work for tax preparers and extra diligence in keeping abreast of what Congress is doing and when they do it.
"Last year was an unusual year because of the tornado victims and their losses," he said. "We are planning for 2013 now to see how the changes in law will affect our clients."
Hardy said he spends about four hours a week staying current on tax law.
"For planning issues, you have to stay informed the best you can. That's what our clients pay us for," he said.
The success for many tax-preparation businesses is their ability to get a taxpayer's return filed accurately and in a reasonable amount of time.
"The biggest issue this year are the delays," Walker said. "We make our living by getting people in here and getting their returns done as quickly as we can. When we can't do that, it hurts our business."
And one of the best parts of being a tax preparer, Mills said -- helping a client get a refund -- gets delayed.
"It has been a letdown to clients," Mills said. "When we know they need the money, and we can't help them get their refund back, it's a letdown."

It is common knowledge that prior to becoming a park, Quiet Waters was a farm. However, the history of Quiet Waters extends several millennia into the past, with evidence of pre-historic aboriginal occupation. Upon the colonization of the Americas, Quiet Waters became a valuable plot of land, changing hands many times before its final ownership by Anne Arundel County. To completely understand the historical and pre-historical habitation of Quiet Waters it is necessary to look at the areas environmental condition as glacial recession marked the end of the last ice age, approximately 15,000 B.C.

I write about enterprise innovation.
When I first bought an iPhone I thought: How beautiful and sleek – in fact the phone was so sleek it kept sliding out of my hand. Like most people who do not carry a handbag, I had to buy an ugly, black, plastic cover to stop me dropping it. My iPhone resided inside that case where nobody could see its sleek, rounded edges. To my surprise those edges made up part of the recent Apple vs Samsung infringement action. I say surprised but I mean astonished – how can anybody win a billion bucks for a design error? Or for that matter for being a trend setter?
But dare I say it – I rarely see an iPhone that is not encased. I rarely see one that is not hidden from view because of its impractical form (and wasn't Steve Jobs promising free covers to help overcome a mic (sorry antenna)-design defect two years ago?) Still, it is a design icon and there is a cost of iconic status. People copy you, defects and all. Apple's inability to deal with that should get us asking questions about its liberal arts credentials.
If Apple had really been in the design business then they'd have seen Samsung's copy as sheer flattery (at least at the trade dress level) and moved on to the next iteration. Design is fashion, a peculiar form of intellectual property that wavers and transforms by the season.
In Brussels right now you can buy Pierre Marcolini's autumn collection of chocolates. Since Marcolini began making single estate chocs, combining them with ingredients like Earl Grey tea, that fashion has swept through the chocolate making business. His neat idea of copying the seasonal element of fashion is also out there and copied. Marcolini is no longer alone in launching seasonal sweets.
But that's trivial you might say…. not to Pierre though, I'm sure. And that is the central issue with ideas and designs. To a degree, they are shared property. On the bigger stage, in the fashion business, Zara is a b-school case study in how to copy catwalk design and to get them into the shop, pronto. Zara in fact has built a new retail business model around being deft enough with color and shape not to be a total copycat but to get close enough that buyers crave its goods, while the original is still fresh in people's minds.
When the Duchess of Cambridge wears blue, knitted, shops fill with blue, knitted. Chinese car manufacturers are upbraided for copying the designs of western car makers. But take a look at the new Audis. Audi is the up and coming design house in autos but I happen to think their latest shapes are a rip off of Mercedes. There's only so many ways you can do four wheels and a cabin (or cockpit I guess we should say).
Design is not invention. It arises from a common pool of creativity. I happen to think Apple's icon designs are superlative but no more so than Chris Bangle's designs for BMW – now take a close look at Opel, which are as similar to BMW as Audi are to Mercedes and not just because Opel designers finally know how to do curves – more importantly they have the technology to bend the metal like BMW does.
Apple deserves no kudos for taking the trade dress fight to the courts. Maybe if they were a bunch of losers whose design advantage had been unfairly appropriated and now they had no cash for the kids' school fees, then there would be a cause for sympathy. But this is is the most valuable company in history. Mr Cook. Move on. Create.

Will Apple's Latest Move Against Samsung Seriously Trash Its Reputation?
Apple, A Monopoly? It Could Happen.
have you heard of office of fair trading mate?
Granted that Samsung copied Apple but everyone knows (even fanboys of both sides) some of Apple's patents should be invalidated due to prior art.
FACT:everyone copies everyone even Apple!
Beautiful people do not walk around naked. People who buy ugly casings are to blame and not apple. In the end everybody knows what is under that ugly casing, just like a pearl is under an ugly shell. I wonder if you will still have yor writing job tomorrow morning.
That's true. Designing a phone that slips out of your hand is not smart. But for me, iPhone size is just enough to make it easier to grab. Bigger than that, I think it will difficult even to hold it by one hand. And I think most people using casing for their phone (not just iPhone) because there is always risk to drop it. So it's to protect from the drop. Or from dust. Not to avoid slip.
give it up Haydn – you're lost and home is the other way…
Then don't buy it…anyone forced you ?
Wonder why you didn't take all that wisdom to Samsung and asked them to design better? That could have avoided the patent suit on one patent at the least.
Touch smart phone, internet browsing, Rectangular form fits the best on it. And rounded edges decrease any physical risk. Do you now understand why? And why Samsung can't do any better but to copy?
Which phone doesn't slip out of your hand?
Maybe the dumb ones.

I provide honest reviews and opinions on the bleeding edge of tech
With Chromebooks gaining traction in schools and Acer touting successful sales of their C7 Chromebook, HP is set to enter the Google Chrome OS fray with their reveal of the HP Pavillion Chromebook.
The $339 Chromebook is the first laptop driven by Google's Chrome OS to boast a 14-inch display. This may appeal to consumers and educators who prefer a full size screen to the more cramped, netbook-style experience. The display on offer has an average 1366 x 768 resolution, but the larger screen real estate means users get a full size keyboard.
The tech specs for HP's Chromebook won't impress, but Google's web-driven OS doesn't require much horsepower. It has an Intel Celeron 847 clocked at 1.1 GHz, 2GB of RAM (expandable to 4GB), and a 16GB SSD drive.
Sadly, the Pavillion Chromebook struggles in the battery life department, likely influenced by its larger display. HP's 4-cell 37Whr battery is rated for 4 hours and 15 minutes, which means slightly less time in practical real-world environments.
I'd love to see Google step in and exercise some quality control as they've done with their flagship Nexus brand. For Chromebooks to continue being adopted, Google needs to set hardware benchmarks which result in an excellent user experience. With the lightweight Chrome OS, Chromebooks should be shipping with all day battery life, especially when targeted toward students.
HP joins Acer, Samsung and Lenovo in the Chromebook arena, and they certainly won't be the last manufacturer to do so. ASUS seems like a sure bet following their partnership with Google on the Nexus 7 and upcoming QUBE for Google TV, and as long as I'm in wishful thinking mode, it would be fantastic to see a touch-based variant of Chrome OS in the years to come.
HP's Pavillion Chromebook is available for $339 direct from HP.
HP 2000z-2c00 Notebook PC $349 every day price on HP website.
Runs windows 8 has a much higher spec than the chrome book….
Acer have windows 7 and 8 laptops for $229
In fact there is really no price reason for anyone to buy chrome , unless of course you wish to "pretend" that lower or same spec windows 8 machines cant run fast and smooth on bottom end hardware.
There will always be people in the anyone but the "winners" camp, these same people will flock to some other off brand product should Google win the OS war. And they will shout the same complaints about google they once shouted about MS.
I don't believe schools are adopting chrome, as it does not support 99% of existing software. I don't believe it is selling nearly as well as fans like to claim; chrome does not even get listed as an OS on useage charts it is lumped in with others at 2%….
I don't believe HP thinks it is going to sell any Chrome machines at all. They are not dumb, they are charging way too much to get any real numbers.
I see PC makers as trying to sell PC's. I doubt very much if they care if it has Linux, Chrome, OS X or DOS for that matter. Its about trying to sell PC's.
I also think Microsoft should pay attention because once something like Chrome takes off in the mainstream PC market. I think Microsoft will have another real problem on its hands. I don't see Chromebook's as being anymore then a cheap second PC or a handy travel PC. But as more PC makers offer a Chromebook. I think that could change. The real question, is how many computer users have decided that they don't need a expensive PC anymore? Maybe that's why tablets are doing so well too? Is what OS a computer runs that relavent anymore?
flogging a dead horse but anyway…
Windows costs about the same as chrome, for every chrome machine priced low there already exists a windows one at about the same price point.
This is fact and I dare you to refute it
Chrome does not support ,
and a million other bits of software. Sure some day chrome might grow up and be able to do more of these things, but by then the goal posts will have shifted.
Windows 8 for $220 supports everything chrome does and the other 99% of software.
I don't see a case where anyone I know or work with would believe that Chrome can stand toe to toe with the leading OS.
We deal with everyone from school kids to CEOs and while one could shoe horn chrome in to the home or work place there is no reason to, well other than being a blogger and wanting to have something to write about.
Nice looking hardware.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- Officials at the Rutherford County
Detention Center in Murfreesboro are doing what they can to keep the heat on
for 800 inmates there.
One of their boilers blew out Friday, and the sheriff there says their last
remaining boiler has shown signs of stress as it has been pushed to the limit.
They've turned down the
heat on that remaining boiler to help prevent it from breaking, before the
other one can be fixed. If it goes out, the
prisoners there will be left in the cold, which means they'd have to start
contingency plans which could
involve moving prisoners to other facilities.
They have already moved prisoners from the top floor of the jail to help
with the water pressure and heat.
"We've actually cut the heat down up
here," said Robert Arnold, the Rutherford County Sheriff.
Because of the holidays, the boiler hasn't received immediate attention, but
they hope to have the boiler fixed within five days. The Rutherford County sheriff
says he thinks it could cost between $20,000 and $40,000.

Fat Tuesday is over. Make way for ashes, abstinence and changes of heart.
In Catholic and Protestant churches around Orange County and the world, Ash Wednesday services mark the beginning of Lent, the 40-day liturgical season leading to Holy Week and Easter Sunday.
It's a time for personal reflection, acts of sacrifice and new beginnings, church officials say.
"The term Lent comes from the Old English word for 'spring' and Christians see these days as a time for changes of heart, personal repentance and an openness to the grace of a fresh beginning," according to a statement from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange.
At noon in Holy Family Cathedral in Orange, Bishop Kevin Vann will celebrate his first Ash Wednesday as the newly installed head of the Diocese of Orange.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Vann said: "The announcement of Pope Benedict's retirement and the election of a new Pope by Easter adds great significance to this Lenten season. ... Ash Wednesday truly will be a season of new beginnings and reflection for Catholics worldwide."

The Stage Door Theatre's Update of Pygmalion is Groovy, Baby
YUKON, Oklahoma (January 30, 2013) – When most people think of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, they think "My Fair Lady without the music." It conjures up images of Audrey Hepburn in period costume and Rex Harrison speak-singing all of his numbers. That's not the Pygmalion that the Stage Door Theatre is doing this February.
Shaw's Pygmalion, the tale of the upper-class phoneticist Henry Higgins who makes a bet that he can pick a common flower girl out of the gutter and in six months pass her off as a duchess in polite society, both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914, and director Michael Tull hopes to achieve this again by changing the play's time period. While some might find this change blasphemous, Tull's keen understanding of his source material ensures that the play will stay true to Shaw's original message.
"To modern audiences, 1912 feels romantic and ancient, like Titanic and Downton Abbey" says Tull, who directed last season's The Family Man, voted by Stage Door season ticket holders the best show of the season. "Shaw did not see this play as a romance. It is a commentary on the class system, the folly of assuming the value of someone based on superficial limits. It's about change. 1912 doesn't feel like change any more, but 1969 does."
That's right: the Stage Door is doing Pygmalion meets Austin Powers, and the actors couldn't be more excited. Anna Miller plays Eliza Doolittle, the cockney flower girl picked by Professor Henry Higgins to transform into a cultured lady. "I am in love with this era," says Miller. "I feel it was a time of a lot of reform, which is why I think it fits this play."
Miller is a new face at the Stage Door. Tull says of his decision to cast her, "Anna has a fire. In rehearsal, she has recognized that in some ways she is Eliza. She is ready to be moulded into something great."
Of the news that she had been cast as Eliza, Miller says she was "absolutely estatic and surprised." She didn't expect to get the lead role her first time auditioning for this theatre, but that is part of the mission of the Stage Door to foster new talent.
Shaw would approve. "In the end, Pygmalion is a play about the hope of change," says Tull. "It's the hope that we can grow and become something other than our parents' legacy."
Pygmalion runs February 15, 16, 22, and 23 at 7:30pm and February 17 and 24 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $9 in advance or $12 at the door. Visit http://stagedooryukon.com/ for more information and to purchase tickets.
The Stage Door Theatre was founded in Yukon, Oklahoma in 1987 and is located in the historic Yukon Museum and Arts Center. With each production, the Stage Door tries to foster exposure to the world of live theater. This is a volunteer program providing a chance for beginning actors to grow and build a resume, with the guidance and support of more experienced actors and directors.
