With the majority of boats on this coast sub 40' I find little justification for generators use. DC systems and battery management can easily be manged on boats of this size without a generator.
When our anchorages get to glass calm, as they do many an evening, even the "quiet" Honda's can be heard for a LOOOOOOOONG distance...
I actually just left a boat after installing a custom alternator, regulator, battery monitor and re-wiring the charging system. He is also getting solar.
I just took measurements and am now at a coffee shop ordering a custom battery box for some industrial L-16 Trojan batteries. The owner wants to be 100% self sufficient and is adamant that he will NEVER use a generator. He is paying me good money so he is NOT rude to others and this whole upgrade was caused and set into motion by a RUDE boater. Kudo's to him!
Maine is a little different than most places but I like the peace & quiet. Sadly more schmucks buy Honda's and gensets every year and they are slowly ruining how idyllic Maine once was to cruise. Honda generators are NOT quiet !!!!!
@#!*% we watched a 50'+ power boat come into an anchorage, the owner dropped anchor from his enclosed flybridge then went down into the cabin and fired up what had to be a 50" TV and proceeded to plop in front of it while his genset ran 24/7.. The guy never stepped out of the cabin in the 7 hours we endured his exhaust before upping anchor and moving. May his props find some good solid Maine granite...
I'm bett'n his anchor and chain were too small as well. It's in moments like that, I call on the spirit of my fore mentioned Grandpa, and find a creative and slightly less harmfull, yet sporty way of dealing a card of justice. Sometimes we need to teach these dudes "what's what" out there. First a polite request, and then the good 'ol "I tried to tell ya!" I've lived on the hook since I was 8 years old. 33 years later, I've come to realize that there are those that are and those that are'nt. Sometimes a little push towards curtousy will make the world a better place for everyone these dip sh!ts encounter later on.

When the Laguerre-based finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used for electromagnetic problems, a huge sparse matrix equation results, which is very expensive to solve. We previously introduced an efficient algorithm for implementing an unconditionally stable 2-D Laguerre-based FDTD method. We numerically verified that the efficient algorithm can save CPU time and memory storage greatly while maintaining comparable computational accuracy. This paper presents new efficient algorithm for implementing unconditionally stable 3-D Laguerre-based FDTD method. To do so, a factorization-splitting scheme using two sub-steps is adopted to solve the produced huge sparse matrix equation. For a full update cycle, the presented scheme solves six tri-diagonal matrices for the electric field components and computes three explicit equations for the magnetic field components. A perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary condition is also extended to this approach. In order to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, numerical examples are given.

Nov. 12 West Virginia 24 … at Cincinnati 21
CFN Analysis: Eain Smith's blocked field goal didn't exactly save the season, but it was a big moment to keep the Mountaineers alive for the Big East title. The team isn't playing well, but it continues to rally late when it has to. … After losing to Louisville at home last week, the Mountaineers couldn't make it three losses in four weeks; the team is way too good to be this mediocre. The offense is too good and the defense is too athletic, but it just can't put together a full sixty minutes. … Geno Smith was Geno Smith, rallying the team back in the fourth quarter, and he got his yards again finishing with 372 yards and a score. But once again, he had to with no running game to count on. … Help is needed, but WVU will have the tie-breaker over Rutgers and UC. The wins over Pitt and USF are a must, and to get them, the team has to be smarter. The 14 penalties were a killer.
The all red uniforms and the emphasis put on getting this one win has to be ignored and fast with road games at Rutgers and Syracuse up next. The Big East title is still in UC's hands, with the trip to the BCS there by winning out. The Bearcats are better than everyone else on the schedule, but it's going to mean more Isaiah Pead than normal. He ran for 113 yards and a score. … Zach Collaros got knocked out with an ankle injury, but Munchie Legaux kept the offense moving with 77 rushing yards with a 65-yard touchdown to go along with 70 yards passing. He wasn't Collaros, but he got the team in a position to force overtime before the game-ending blocked field goal. … One of the nation's best punting games continues to be a major weapon. Pat O'Donnell averaged close to 43 yards per kick and did a nice job of bailing the team out of trouble.
(AP) CINCINNATI -- Tony Miliano's attempt at a tying field goal barely got off the ground when Eain Smith dived in from the side and swatted it away, keeping West Virginia in the Big East race.
Pretty much everybody else, too.
The Mountaineers rallied from a fourth-quarter deficit behind Geno Smith, then swatted away No. 23 Cincinnati's attempt to tie in the closing seconds Saturday for a 24-21 victory that left the conference race wide open.
A loss would have knocked West Virginia (7-3, 3-2) out of the title chase.
"As for the blocked field goal, one word: Pandemonium," Smith said. "We had our back against the wall and fought back. This game was crucial for us. It was win or go home."
The Bearcats (7-2, 3-1) lost senior quarterback Zach Collaros to an ankle injury in the second quarter on a play that changed everything. He watched the rest of the game on crutches from the sideline with his right foot and ankle heavily wrapped.
Coach Butch Jones said Collaros would have tests to determine the severity of the injury.
Untested sophomore quarterback Munchie Legaux got the 48,152 fans at Paul Brown Stadium chanting his first name when he led the Bearcats to a pair of touchdowns for a 21-17 lead early in the fourth quarter. Legaux ran 7 yards for a score, and Isaiah Pead went 10 yards for his second touchdown.
"It's about how much energy we played with," said coach Dana Holgorsen, who had threatened to leave players back in Morgantown if they didn't give a better effort in practice last week. "We didn't get down on ourselves. We talked about it this week. We talked about not hanging our heads on the sideline. Our talks weren't about X's and O's this week."
The Bearcats lost their senior quarterback in the second quarter, when Collaros retreated from the pass rush to extend a play and got tackled by end Bruce Irvin at the goal line. Collaros lost the ball and his right leg got twisted beneath him as he went down.
Julian Miller fell on the ball in the end zone for a 17-7 lead. Collaros lay on the ground, both hands on his forehead. He put no weight on the right leg as he was helped to a cart to leave the field for an exam.
That injury changed the whole Big East race. A win would have put the Bearcats in range of their third title in four years.
On came Legaux, who had thrown only seven passes all season. His second throw was picked off and Cincinnati's offense went nowhere the rest of the half, with West Virginia playing conservatively.
"On that first series, I was kind of nervous," said Legaux, who finished 10 of 21 for 144 yards and ran eight times for 89 yards. "After that first series, I got comfortable."
For the fourth straight game, Cincinnati overcame a deficit of at least nine points to take a second-half lead. This time, it didn't stand up.
The Mountaineers have been one of the conference's mainstays, finishing first or second in each of the last nine years. The Bearcats were on quite a surge, winning six in a row. They've even come up with their own victory song, dancing to "Get The Dub" each time they come away with a "W" from a game.
They wore all-red uniforms Saturday for the first time since 1993, another indication of how much this one meant.
It started with big-play drama.
Pead weaved his way past defenders along the left sideline on a 40-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead. Smith found Stedman Bailey beyond the coverage for a 59-yard touchdown pass that tied it. Pead had a 19-yard catch and 33-yard run that helped Cincinnati get to the 1-yard line, where Collaros was stopped inches short of the goal line on a fourth-down draw play.
Tyler Bitancurt's 28-yard field goal gave West Virginia its first lead at 10-7 early in the second quarter. On Cincinnati's next possession, the Bearcats lost their most indispensable player.
West Virginia (6-3) at Cincinnati (7-1) Nov. 12, 12:00, ABC
Here's The Deal … After one season in dry dock, head coach Butch Jones' first with the school, Cincinnati is back at the top of the Big East. It'll spend the next four weekends trying to stay there. As the lone remaining ranked team from the embattled league, the Bearcats have emerged as the one holding its ragged banner. The program has displayed commendable resiliency in rising up the standings, rallying in the second half of three straight wins; even better, the last two came on the road, at South Florida and Pittsburgh.
Cincy will now showcase how far it's come under Jones in front of the Paul Brown Stadium faithful. West Virginia was supposed to be the heir to the throne this season, but improbable losses to Syracuse and Louisville over the last three games have altered the landscape in Morgantown. Falling to the Cardinals at home last Saturday was a particular head-scratcher that put the Mountaineers on the brink of extinction in the conference title chase.
Why West Virginia Might Win: The Mountaineers still harbor considerable weapons, and are improving over time in Dana Holgorsen's offensive system. You can't blame an offense that's averaging 38 points a game for the program's woes over the past few weeks. While the ground game has been sporadic, the Geno Smith-led passing attack has been just fine. The junior ranks No. 7 nationally in total offense, and just got finished carving up a very good Louisville defense for 410 yards and three scores on 31-of-44 passing. Defending the pass has been the weaker of two areas for Cincinnati, which ranks 105th nationally in the category. Given time, No. 12 will survey the field in order to find one of his three playmaking receivers, Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin and Ivan McCartney. Bailey has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the passer-friendly attack, catching passes for at least 100 yards in six of the last seven games.
Why Cincinnati Might Win: The underlying reason for West Virginia's struggles has been that the defense has not been carrying its weight, a rarity under coordinator Jeff Casteel. The Mountaineers have had ill-timed lapses in both run and pass defense that the Bearcats will be able to exploit. While Cincinnati hasn't been prolific in 2011, it has been neatly balanced behind the consistent running of Isaiah Pead and the versatility of QB Zach Collaros.
The latter should have plenty of time to operate against a pass rush that's had intermittent help from DE Bruce Irvin and little else. Cincinnati, on the other hand, has made it a habit all year of making money plays on defense, ranking sixth nationally in takeaways and eighth in sacks.
What To Watch Out For: The Bearcats brought back a ton of starters on defense, yet no one knew for sure if the unit would be a year better or simply a year older. The answer through seven games has been the former. No, Cincinnati is not impenetrable, but it has been frenetic up front, getting an unrelenting push from the likes of linemen Derek Wolfe, Dan Giordano, Walter Stewart and Brandon Mills. Which West Virginia O-line will show up in the Queen City, the one that held LSU without a sack in September, or the one that gave up three in the loss to Louisville a week ago?
What Will Happen: Buckle in for what could be the most entertaining Big East game of 2011. Cincinnati and West Virginia have arguably the two most talented rosters in the league, both showcasing a fair amount of speed on both sides of the ball. The Bearcats, though, have a considerable edge in momentum and confidence, courtesy of its six-game winning streak.
They'll trade blows with the Mountaineers in a seesaw battle, but that knack for enduring this fall when the game hangs in the balance will truly come in handy in the waning moments. In a tremendous back-and-forth duel between the quarterbacks, Collaros will lose the statistical battle, but win the war by piloting the game-winning drive in a frenzied fourth quarter.

Storm: Twitter's scalable realtime computation system
Storm makes it easy to write and scale complex realtime computations on a cluster of computers, doing for realtime processing what Hadoop did for batch processing. Storm guarantees that every message will be processed. And it's fast — you can process millions of messages per second with a small cluster. Best of all, you can write Storm topologies using any programming language.
Storm has a wide range of use cases. The basic use case is "stream processing": processing a stream of new data and updating databases in realtime. Unlike the standard approach of doing stream processing with queues and workers, Storm is fault-tolerant and scalable.
Another use case is "continuous computation": streaming the results of a query to clients to visualize in realtime. An example is streaming trending topics on Twitter into browsers.
A third use case is "distributed RPC": computing an intense query on the fly in parallel. With distributed RPC, a Storm topology is a distributed function that you can invoke like a normal function.
In this talk, I'll release Storm as open-source. I'll show how Storm's simple programming model makes realtime computation easy, robust, and even fun.

Nathan was the lead engineer at BackType which was acquired by Twitter in July of 2011.

House OKs temporary funding fix for highway programs
WASHINGTON — With an August deadline looming, the House voted on Tuesday to temporarily patch over a multibillion-dollar pothole in federal highway and transit programs while ducking the issue of how to put them on a sound financial footing for the long term.
The action cobbles together $10.8 billion by using pension tax changes, customs fees and money from a fund to repair leaking underground fuel storage tanks to keep the federal Highway Trust Fund, which pays for transportation programs nationwide, solvent through May. The vote was 367-55. A similar bill is pending in the Senate.
Without congressional action, the Transportation Department says that by the first week in August the fund will no longer have enough money to cover promised aid to states, and the government will begin to stretch out payments. Congress has kept the highway trust fund teetering on the edge of bankruptcy since 2008 through a series of temporary fixes because lawmakers have been unable to find a politically acceptable long-term funding plan.
The most obvious solution would be to raise the federal 18.4-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax and 24.4-cent-a-gallon diesel tax, which haven't been increased in more than 20 years. But lawmakers are reluctant to raise taxes in an election year.
As a result, Congress has had to look elsewhere for transportation money while not increasing the federal deficit. The bill by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., relies on tax changes that are forecast to generate revenue over 10 years but provide only enough money to keep the highway and transit programs going for 10 months.
The largest chunk of the money, $6.4 billion, results from allowing employers to defer payments to their employee pension plans. Funding pension plans normally results in a tax savings for companies, and deferring those payments means they will pay more in taxes and increase federal revenue. But several lawmakers suggested the revenue from the pension changes is illusory.
"Come on. Really, it's pretty phony stuff," said Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore. "Let's get real about how we're going to fund our transportation" programs.

Melissa Clark's Thanksgiving Shortcuts
Friday, November 16, 2012
Melissa Clark, the James Beard award-winning food writer who writes the "A Good Appetite" column in the Dining Section of the New York Times offers some Thanksgiving shortcuts, advice on how to cook a big meal in a small kitchen, how to save time, and more. Her latest cookbook is Cook This Now.

Comments [22]
I fail to believe for a second that it is more expensive to produce free range organic turkey. No money on cages and chemicals. Turkeys can live on their own eating bugs and are completly self sufficent in a field. This is just part of the scam like everything else in our society. I live in a world full of gullible victims and no one cares. Like the price of healthcare, rent, ...ransom i tell you.
Was it just me, or did others have the experience of the word "insufferable" frequently popping into their heads during the course of this segment??
To Judith Bellini
Video: Pie Crust Basics With Melissa Clark
Heaven in a Pie Pan - The Perfect Crust
Ms. Clark's descriptions, motormouth speed-gabbing, and tendency to end every sentence as a question kills my appetite for turkey, and, well, lunch today.
We had fabulous success steaming a turkey two years ago–on the barbecue! We placed the bird on pan inside another pan with an inch or so of water that we replenished as need. This technique steams the bird and protects the turkey juices from burning away due to the direct bottom heat on the grill. A very moist turkey and the ovens were free for everything else.
I've read that the pilgrims probably ate eels on the forst thanksgiving. Can you recommend any good eel recipes?
Melissa mentioned her piecrust recipe on the show. I have never made homemade piecrust and would love to have this recipe.
How does one keep the turkey breast from drying out?
The way the turkeys are being talked about - the skin, stuffing it, the legs, juicy flesh - makes me feel sick.
Cran relish: for tartness -- cooked raw berries and orange rind. For sweetness -- apple sauce, crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges (without juices, which are too sweet).
So, this year's hot T-G trend seems to be spatchcocking--does Melissa have opinion on this method? And how rude would it be to ask my buthcher to do it?
For flour free recipes, I use gluten free pancake mix. I bake all my radiation all pie and cake recipes without changing a thing, just gluten free pancake mix in place of flour
I am in charge of the turkey this year (first time!!) and was watching Melissa's videos on NYTimes.com. She suggests 1/2 inch of liquid in bottom of roasting pan. Can I use chicken stock or just water? We use the turkey drippings for gravy and am worried Apple cider or wine will change the taste of the gravy
What are your feelings on using vodka in the place of water in pie crusts?
I am gluten free and I use ALL my traditional recipes for pies and cakes using gluten free pancake mix. It already has all of the baking ingredients for gluten free baling in it
What about stuffing in a crockpot? And what about those roasting bas?
i do my bird in the weber. every year for the past 20. absolute success every year. no brining. 22-24 lbs, stuffed with an oyster and sage stuffing made with fresh bread. kids love to tear the loaves to peices.
takes about 3 1/2 hours. just never ever lift the lid.
mahoganny crisp skin, buttery breast meat, and the dark meat with the slight smokiness - i wait all year. with a gamay and riesling

more: stilltasty.com/questions/index/112/page:2
What about if you want to make a turkey really quickly. Can you cut it up to cook it faster?
Can I buy a thawed (not frozen) turkey today and season it over the weekend and keep it in the refrigerator until next Thursday morning cooking.
Melissa's pie crust is the best recipe ever. Does she recommend making the pie crust in advance and then baking Thanksgiving morning? How far in advance can I bake a pie and still expect the crust to remain tender and flaky?
I'm going to a thanksgiving party where several guests are on a no-flour no-sugar diet. Can you recommend a pumpkin pie or squash-inspired dessert where the squash is sweet enough that adding sweetener would be unnecessary?

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL - Get Report) was one of the tech sector's big losers on Monday, with the gadget giant's stock tumbling more than 3%.
The iPhone maker had recently reached a $600 billion market cap for the first time. Apple shares today slipped $21.38, or 3.5%, to $583.85 during Monday trading as the Nasdaq fell 0.7%.
"We believe this could be a simple 'collapsing' on its own weight given the year-to-date move
Apple shares have climbed more than 44% this year, easily outpacing the Nasdaq's gain of 14.89% and the S&P 500's increase of 9.1%.Shares of rival Nokia (NOK - Get Report), however, rallied Monday, gaining 12 cents, or 2.9%, to reach $4.14. The Finnish handset maker's stock declined before the market open after Moody's downgraded the company's long-term credit rating. IBM (IBM - Get Report), which reports its fiscal first-quarter results after the market close Tuesday, was up $1.54, or 0.8%, to $204.34. In a research note released early on Monday, Credit Suisse (CS) predicted a solid quarter from the tech giant, and raised its IBM price target from $175 to $200. Chip giant Intel (INTC - Get Report) was also one of the tech sector's winners, gaining 35 cents, or 1.25%, to reach $28.44.

It's still summer weather around here, and these beaded hoop earrings are so very summery with their turquoise beads. But you could totally adapt these to the fall and winter season by using darker, richer colored beads.

Time to Plant Fall Bulbs
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
So this summer, I planted my first container garden, and I'm continuing my gardening adventures (and battling my black thumb of death) into Fall. Now's the time to plant bulbs for springtime. I remember planting irises and gladiolus in the fall when I was a kid. It was such a wonderful surprise when they popped up! But fast forward today...I need some bulb planting advice!
I had heard of Curbside Chaos from another blog when they hosted a $5000 yard makeover giveaway. I would have loved to give our home (a rental) a yard makeover as thanks to our fabulous landlords (more like landparents!). But alas, I didn't win...check out this video with Taniya Nayak (I love her on Restaurant Impossible) as she helps the winner choose bulbs and put together a lovely new yard.
I also consulted Curbside Chaos' Garden Guru (click the above link, then look to the bottom left), to tell me what kind of bulbs I should buy at this time of year for spring. First, I selected my zone and which month I'd like my bulbs to bloom. The website suggested four types of bulbs for me. Clicking on each type of bulb gives further planting advice.
With this info in my head, I went to my local nursery and found a huge display of bulbs. Yay!
I found this bag of mixed bulbs, which included hyacinths, muscari, and narcissus, and I went for it.
I noticed on the packaging, there was a picture of the flowers blooming along with pansies. Now I'm not sure if the pansies will last all the way til spring, but I picked up some anyways, to decorate the pot while the bulbs are still underground. I loved these velvety purple ones!
The girls dropped what they were doing once they knew I was going outside to plant. They got started filling up a pot with soil.
We may or may not have followed the exact directions on spacing and depth. I had gone inside to refill a watering can, and they had already planted half the bulbs! So we will be really surprised as to what bulbs were planted where, in the spring.
They did save these bulbs for me...twins!
We covered the bulbs with more soil, and then I put the pansies on top.
We made one more for grandma to take home when she visits this week.
If you'd like more information on bulbs, please visit www.digdropdone.com to learn more. This was a super fun and informative website on bulbs, from basics to crafty ideas on displaying bulbs. I love the wheelbarrel idea!
You can also meet the Dig Drop Done Ladies, three ladies in different stages of life (single, married with kids, and an empty nester) who love bulbs because they are so easy to work with and give great results, perfect for their individual lifestyles. I of course relate to Marcy the most...she wants a way to have a beautiful garden but at the same time, still have time for her children as well as other things that interest her.
One more thing...Tweet about Dig Drop Done with the hashtag #CurbsideChaos and $1 will be donated to Rebuilding Together. Rebuilding together is the nation's leading nonprofit organization, working to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize communities.
Feel free to ReTweet my tweet here:

Craft Tutorial: Pumpkin Yarn Embroidery Hoop Wreath
You know me and embroidery hoops. I love them. I love finding them at thrift stores. My collection was building up so it was time to use them! This time I used a big one, a small one, and an oval one to create a rustic-meets-modern interpretation of pumpkins to form a wreath for our front door.

Football Rice Krispy Treats with BBQ Chips and Chocolate
A few months ago, I was looking around the kitchen for a snack. All we had were barbeque rice chips and chocolate chips. I ate the chips first, then the chocolate. And I was amazed at how yummy they tasted together! It was the perfect sweet, salty and spicy bite. I thought of how to combine them into a recipe together, and thought Rice Krispy Treats would be a good idea. As if BBQ chips aren't already football-y enough, I made them into a fun football shape.

Lasagna Rolls on Multiples in the Kitchen
I write a monthly feature on the Multiples and More Blog Network called Multiples in the Kitchen, where I blog about cooking with my twin girls (now 5 years old). I've been writing this feature for over a year now, and I'm really thankful that this opportunity came to me. I never would have had the patience to have my girls cook with me on my own! But it's something they enjoy, and I love watching their skills improve little by little each time.
This month, we made Lasagna Rolls:
Check out how we made them today on Multiples in the Kitchen.

Easy Fall Twine Striped Pumpkins
To celebrate the rich, warm colors of Fall, I decided to spruce up my front porch with some Fall gardening. So I got some lovely mums, pansies and coleus, displayed with the help of these twine-striped pumpkins that were so easy to make.
I was inspired by several pictures on Pinterest (such as this one from Keeping Up with the Joneses) to create my little porch vignette. (Note: If you're going to pin the pic below, please visit the link above, then pin, so they get credit for their beautiful work!)
I bought some artificial pumpkins, special saws for carving artificial pumpkins, Outdoor Mod Podge, jute twine, and brushes (foam or bristle work well). This would also work (maybe even better for the outdoors) with a ceramic pumpkin. I will keep my eye out for some after Halloween when they go on sale! I also couldn't resist these little faux baby pumpkins that I will use at the end.
For the large white pumpkin, I'm going to put a potted plant inside. So I used a saw to cut out a hole.
Then I brushed on some Outdoor Mod Podge on top of the twine as I positioned it at a diagonal on the pumpkin.
And I formed a lattice design, going the other direction. As that started to dry, I brushed the entire outside with a light coat of Outdoor Mod Podge. Use more Outdoor Mod Podge to glue the ends inside, and on the entire inside as well. Or, you could use a polyurethane spray to protect it.
For the smaller pumpkin, I kept it as is, and just Mod Podged the twine along the grooves of the pumpkin. Again, as it dries, brush a light layer of Outdoor Mod Podge all over the outside.
I repotted the coleus, mums, and pansies into a larger pot. I love how the coleus drapes over the sides. Then I repotted another mum plant into a slightly larger pot that would fit into the pumpkin, put a dish at the bottom of the pumpkin, and put that pot inside. I also decorated the large pot with the baby pumpkins.
My family has been using Miracle-Gro for as long as I can remember. You can use it too to help Find beauty in the Fall! Since I am not able to do in-ground gardening in our current home, I rely on potting mixes to keep up my plants. You know me...I need all the help I can get when it comes to plants, so I love that it feeds continuously for 6 months, and provides good air flow and water drainage with lots of organic materials.
Be sure to learn more about Miracle Gro, get more ideas for fall planting, as well as interact with other gardeners on the Miracle-Gro Facebook page or clicking the orange button below to go to the Miracle Gro website.

Santa Fe Crock Pot Chicken Stew
I was asked to create a dinner for two inspired by the colors and flavors of Santa Fe, New Mexico, so I created something you can enjoy with one other loved one or more: Santa Fe Crock Pot Chicken Stew.
I created this recipe using two soup mixes available at World Market…Southwestern Chili and Potato and Corn Chowder.
The Southwestern Chili Mix contains beans, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, chipotle, smoked paprika, and ancho chili. Many of these spices I do not have in my pantry, so I loved that they were all mixed together for me in this package. In addition, it contains masa harina which is ground up corn and is used for thickening.
The Potato and Corn Chowder Mix might not sound like Santa Fe! But it had corn, onion, celery, chives and bell pepper, which would give the stew some flavor without me having to chop up a bunch of veggies. The potato, which is kind of strange, would also help thicken the stew as well plus add some interesting texture.
I also found these refreshing drinks to go with our meal…Soiree Sangria, Mojito, and Margarita Mocktail sparkling beverages.
All of these ingredients I found at World Market together created such beautiful colors! I had to look for some accessories with this Southwestern color palette!
I love using cloth napkins as placemats, or pieced together to make a big tablecloth.
These soup bowls are the perfect colors as well.
A close-up of my purchases from World Market:
Now I'm ready to start cooking.
I opened up the soup packs to see exactly what was in them. As mentioned, the Chili Mix had a spice mix and a packet of masa harina along with mostly beans. In the Potato and Corn Chowder Mix was corn, potato, bell peppers, herbs and a pack of chicken soup base. Since I had chicken broth at home, I decided not to use the soup base.
So I started dumping everything in…first a can of cream of tomato, which I also got at World Market. Then I poured in the Southwestern Chili pack, and the Potato and Corn pack (but not all of the potato). Then I sprinkled in about half of the Masa Harina and about half of the spice mixture, both of which came with the Southwestern Chili pack. I then added about half a box of chicken broth.
I sprinkled some of the spice mixture from the Southwestern Chili pack onto two chicken breasts, and rubbed it in on both sides. I submerged them into the crock pot.
Finally, I added chopped fresh cilantro, chopped fresh tomatoes, and sauteed onions and garlic and cooked on high for 6 hours.
After about 2 hours, it was really starting to smell goooooood in the house!
All done. I shredded the chicken before serving.
I ladled the stew over rice in our new soup bowls. I prepped all kinds of crunchy, cool toppings for the stew, like sour cream, scallions, lettuce, cucumber, avocado, and more fresh tomatoes, and I garnished with tortilla chips and a lime wedge. I poured out our mocktails which were so refreshing and such pretty colors, into our new blue-rimmed glasses. I loved the colorful backdrop of our new table linens. All ready for our romantic Santa-Fe-inspired dinner for two!
Oh wait, you two are here. Nevermind. Well, lucky for you, there's plenty of food. Yes yes yes fine, you can have a chip.(Yes, that happy birthday sign is from last April).
You can also serve the stew over a tortilla…
…or scoop it into a chip! The two of us (and the other two of us) really enjoyed our festive meal.
And I loved the convenience of making this meal using the pre-packaged soup mixes. I did expect style from World Market, but I was pleasantly surprised that shopping there made dinner so easy as well!
Santa Fe Crock Pot Chicken Stew
- Two chicken breasts, patted dry
- One pack World Market Southwestern Chili
- One pack World Market Potato and Corn Chowder
- 1 can Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup
- 1/2 box (about 16 oz) Chicken broth or stock
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic (either minced or left whole)
Sautee onions and garlic in olive oil until softened. Open the spice mix from the Southwestern Chili pack and rub some onto the chicken breasts. Then add the rest of the ingredients into the crock pot: the cream of tomato soup, chicken broth, the beans, half the Masa Harina and half the spice mix from the Southwestern Chili pack, all the corn and half the potato from the Potato and Corn Chowder pack, cilantro, tomatoes, and the sauteed onions and garlic. Submerge the chicken rubbed with spices into the mixture. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours. Shred the chicken with a fork, and serve over rice or tortilla. Suggested toppings: lime, sour cream, scallions, lettuce, avocado, cucumber, fresh tomatoes.
I have loved World Market since I was a kid (back then, it was called just Cost Plus). Even back then, I loved its eclectic, international and unique style. Today I love shopping at World Market to integrate the most beautiful and flavorful the world has to offer into my everyday life.

A lot of people want an ice cream sandwich these days. But they're going to have to have a little patience.
But it's not food they're after. Ice Cream Sandwich is the name of the newest version of the Android operating system. And many of the people waiting for it might end up disappointed.
Android Version 4.0 has been tempting smartphone users with its polished user interface and a few new functions. But a dpa survey of manufacturers says it might be a while yet. And not every new model is necessarily going to get an update.
The delay is a function of variety. A whole series of manufacturers are making Android mobiles, and each of them builds upon the Google software to create its own interface or add special features.
"This breadth of functions separates our products from the competition," explains Ralf Gerbershagen, head of Motorola in Germany. Motorola, for example, has an Android business-ready package.
But that means before a new version of Android can be installed, a company's own programmers have to have a crack at it.
"When there's an update, then the appropriate project team has to take the time to make the new version of Android match, to make sure that everything functions seamlessly," says Gerbershagen.
New functions possible with Ice Cream Sandwich include one that allows the camera to be activated out of standby mode, meaning it can recognize upon startup whether the person holding the phone is the owner. The function is called Face Unlock.
In the new version phones with integrated near field communication systems will be able to swap data easily. There's also something new in apps. Since Google has merged the software for smartphones and tablets, developers no longer have to make two versions of everything, which should increase variety and allow hardware makers to focus on only one set of compatibility issues.
Google has a history of naming its new mobile operating systems after deserts. Version 1.5 was dubbed Cupcake, while 2.3 was named Gingerbread. Version 3.0, which hit the market at the start of 2011, for tablets, is Honeycomb. Ice Cream Sandwich is the logical extension.
Samsung will have the first Ice Cream Sandwich mobile. A Galaxy Nexus presentation in October showed what Android 4.0 can do. But the South Korean company still isn't saying which device will get the new system, although its British subsidiary has said via Twitter that the lucky machine will be the Galaxy S II.
Motorola expects an update to its flagship Droid Razr "probably in the first half of 2012." But earlier versions of the trimmed-down mobile will only have Gingerbread. Other details won't be available until six weeks after publication of the source codes.
Since Google only recently starting uploading those, users will have to at least wait until the new year. From Motorola, there will only be Gingerbread through the end of 2011.
Google is set to take over Motorola's Mobility mobile division, meaning that Motorola phones might soon get updates faster. But until the deal is done, Motorola users will have to be patient.
HTC is also being coy, saying various of its devices will start using Ice Cream Sandwich "starting in the spring of 2012." Models slated for the new system include the XL and XE, as well as the HTC Evo 3D. But the Wildfire and Desire are not listed for a system update.
At the same time, the Taiwanese company promises to "continually improve its product portfolio and to announce as early as possible updates with Ice Cream Sandwich for additional devices." Meanwhile, Sony Ericsson wants to update all Android smartphones introduced in 2011 from Version 2.3.4 to 4.0. The company will announce in its blog when it plans to upgrade the Xperia series, which will help out users of the Xperia X10, Xperia Neo and Xperia Play.
LG is also holding out hope for its clients, while saying that it can't report anything about the planned updates.
