Cozy Chicks: IT'S TRUE--CHOCOLATE REALLY IS A MOOD ENHANCER!
IT'S TRUE--CHOCOLATE REALLY IS A MOOD ENHANCER!
A recent scientific study shows something you've probably suspected–eating chocolate really does make you feel better! Almost one thousand men and women were included in the study which examined the amount of chocolate consumed by depressed people versus people who are not depressed. The results are startling. People suffering from major depressive symptoms ate 12 one oz servings of chocolate a month, while those with milder depression ate just 5 servings a month.
And if you feel you're becoming a chocoholic and your chocolate addiction is seriously getting out of control, here's a tip from Psychological Science. New research shows that the smell of jasmine inhibits a desire for chocolate. So you can always brew a cup of jasmine tea and savor the scent.
Enjoy everything in moderation! What's your preference in chocolate? Dark chocolate, milk chocolate? And do you prefer it in cookies, cakes or brownies or do you like to bunch on a chocolate bar?
Now I want chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate but will give dark. I prefer chocolate chips, white cake with chocolate frosting and my favorite candy bar is Snicker.
I prefer dark chocolate, preferably a less sweet bar.
Hi Dru, just the thought of the cake makes me hungry and it's only 9:30 in the morning! Guess I better brew some jasmine tea and see if that helps Thanks for stopping by.
Yes to dark chocolate, Sandy! I have a recipe for chocolate bon-bons (made with brownies) that I'm dying to try. If it turns out well, I'll post the recipe here.
I like to pop a frozen kiss in my mouth and let it melt there. I have thin mints in the freezer right now, waiting to sooth a chocolate craving.
Ah, thin mints!! Excellent choice. Smart to keep them in the freezer, they are so tempting! Thanks for stopping by, Rachelle.
Thank you, Doctor! I love chocolate and my favorite is very dark chocolate bar with a hit of chili. So zingy you just about fly around the room afterwards.
I bring chocolate to all my book signings. Wrapped kisses of course, for health reasons.
Dark chocolate with a hint of chili?? I've got to try that! I have a turkey chili recipe from Hungry Girl that includes shavings of dark chocolate. They say it punches up the taste of the chili, but I haven't tried it yet. That is very smart to bring chocolate kisses to book signings...I may steal that idea! Thank for stopping by, MJ.
A slight correction, the recipe is from "Cook Yourself Thin," not Hungry Girl.
I'm a bit strange because chocolate is not my favorite. Actually, I'm not much of a sweets person. However, I do make a candy at Christmas that is chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter and rice krispies that I could be addicted to - which is why I only make it once a year. I like it because it's not too sweet, and it's one of the quickest/easiest recipes I've ever made. I do occasionally have some Andes mints, but my main weakness is lemon. I generally buy several boxes of the Girl Scout lemon cookies and freeze them- they're good right out of the freezer. Also, the Lemon Oreos that came out recently could easily become an addiction, so it's probably good that, once the stores sold out of them, they didn't get any more in (guess they were a "trial"). But judging by how fast they sold out and all the people I talked to who loved them, they will probably come back, and then I'll be in trouble.
Lynda, your Christmas recipe sounds seriously addictive and wonderful! Hope you will post the recipe some day. I love Andes mints. Thanks for stopping by!
I think I'll post that bon-bon recipe next week (if my own attempt is successful. Rolling cooked, square brownies into balls sounds a bit daunting, but I'm game. Then they're covered with a white chocolate hard candy topping and confetti sprinkles, very festive!
Love milk chocolate. Candy bars, fudge, brownies. I love dark choc truffles with milk choc centers. Excuse me, I have to go mop up my drool now.
Ha-ha, Lisa. I hear ya! I love chocolate in all forms, too! Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check back next Saturday for that bon-bon recipe.
Everything needed for a fantastic day. I prefer milk chocolate.

Garth Brooks Alludes To Adding Another Show At BSU
Credit: Daniel Boczarski / Getty Images
I've had the pleasure of knowing Garth Brooks for a long time. One of the all-time classiest human beings on the planet. There are so many wonderful stories about Garth and how he treats his fans and they're all true.
I remember hanging out with Garth Brooks backstage years ago and one of our listeners had the opportunity to come and meet him. Garth didn't just rush this lady through a line, snap a quick picture and send her on her way. He took her back into a room with only about four or five of us and sat down on the floor right in front of her. He made some kind of hand motion to one of his people taking care of him and that man quickly disappeared while Garth took 20 to 30 minutes talking to this woman about her life, what she liked, who she was, and every moment was flat out GENUINE.
Towards the end of the conversation, Garth's man popped back into the room with Garth Brook's t-shirts, cups, headbands, and just about everything else you could buy out in the merchandise area. Garth signed every one of those items, took pictures, laughed and treated this woman like they were sitting on the porch somewhere drinking a beer.
I've never seen a backstage like that and coming from such a superstar it made me tear up. Anyone who's lucky enough to watch this man when he comes to Boise is just that... LUCKY!
Carly and I had a chance to talk to Garth a few days ago and we talked about what he's been doing since we last saw each other, and then we got into it and started asking questions that you guys, the listeners, have been asking. Here's what Garth said...
Why haven't you been back to Boise for the past 20+ years?
Boise was always one of those places that was a great place for us and for some reason, I don't know how it happened, we never got around to getting there last time so I don't know if their building was just always booked or what but it's gonna be fun to get back there finally.
Why were you out here for the Bob Seger concert a few months ago?
Yeah, yeah I had a buddy that uh had his birthday all planned out with his girlfriend, they broke up like, I don't know 10 days before his birthday and so I'm sitting there going Oh Crap what are we gonna do for my pal here so we got some cowboy buddies lookin' around and come to find out, huge Seger fan... so I am too so it was pretty cool and he had just been here to Nashville so we looked up on the thing and he's in Nampa, Idaho of all places on this guy's birthday.
So we... it was fabulous man, we flew in there... everybody treated us great we were uh, we were I don't know maybe seven, eight rows back... right on the left, it was like you could just reach out and touch him and it was just fun man.
You and Trisha Yearwood have such a good relationship. What's your one piece of relationship advice?
I just think it's all about who you're married to, if it's your best friend that's a good place to start right there so... we all seem to get married really early because it's the next step in our lives and you're so young, you really don't know who each one of you's gonna become so that's tough and if you're one of those people who've been married 50 years... good for you man and me and Miss Yearwood were doing the math the other day and if we make 50 years I'll be like 140 so... I think that just being with your best friend is the best part.
Is Trisha Yearwood going to be in Boise?
Yeah, she's gonna put this big ass white tent on the campus. This is what she does. It's called 'Trisha Yearwood's Tailgate' and so what she'll do is... she'll have a tailgate going on for about two or three hours before the show, you go inside, she's gonna be in there, she'll have cooking, food demos... let me tell you what happens. Every time they've had to shut it down and get people into the stadium, it's like 'People... there's a show going on... it's crazy man, it kinda hurts my ego but I get it. I totally get it.
WILL THERE BE A 2ND OR 3RD SHOW ADDED?
I can't imagine man. These are stadiums you know so we uh, we've been lucky enough for people to show up but that's a hell of a lot of people especially when you're standing in the middle of them. It catches you off guard how many people's there so we've been lucky enough to have people show up. That's all I'm lookin' for here and as far as what's beyond that I have no idea.
Now, we'll post the ACTUAL audio below so you can decide for yourself. I believe it's not exactly what Garth says but HOW he says it. Remember, this conversation took place before tickets went on sale so Garth's camp had no idea if this would sell out or not BUT... rumors have been out there about Garth doing two or three shows here before we even announced he was officially coming to Boise. His concert schedule says he's open for at least two more dates surrounding the July 20th concert AND... I hate even saying this because I'll probably get into a bit of trouble with the boss BUT... I have some inside information here at 104.3 WOW Country that says Garth putting on at least one more show here in Boise looks VERY possible.
If you're bummed that you missed out on the 1st set of tickets stand by. We will keep you posted and Oh Oh Oh... make sure you have that FREE 104.3 WOW Country App downloaded onto your phone because you'll receive the information 1st if you do.

Vulnerability due to Nocturnal Tornadoes
Walker S. Ashley
Andrew J. Krmenec
Rick Schwantes
1. Introduction Nocturnal tornadoes appear to be particularly hazardous to humans as evidenced by recent killer tornadoes ( Table 1 ) and tornado outbreaks. As an example, 80 tornado fatalities occurred during 2007, with 59 (or 73.8%) of those fatalities taking place between sunset and sunrise; moreover, 19 of 26 (or 73.1% of) 2007's killer tornadoes occurred at night. Nocturnal tornado events enhance human vulnerability and reduce the success of mitigation activities for several reasons. First

1. Introduction Recent significant advances have occurred in the meteorological community's ability to reproducibly evaluate and quantify the threat for tornadoes. In an age of increasing need for accurate, high-precision forecasts, this work is becoming increasingly integrated into daily National Weather Service operations. Smith et al. (2012) and Thompson et al. (2012) laid the initial groundwork for relating storm-scale characteristics and near-storm environments to tornado damage

Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Tornado Fatalities in the United States: 1880–2005
1. Introduction and background Tornadoes are nature's most violent windstorms and are a significant hazard to life and property throughout the United States. Approximately 800–1400 tornadoes are reported in the United States in any given year, with only a small percentage of these events producing casualties. Although there have been numerous advances in tornado detection, warning dissemination, and public awareness, tornado casualties cannot be prevented entirely as evidenced by recent

1. Introduction A tornado is a rotating column of air swirling upward from the surface and extending from a cumuliform cloud. The strongest tornadoes develop under rotating thunderstorms (i.e., supercells). Not all supercells produce tornadoes. This fact suggests that tornado initiation is sensitive to an interplay of many processes across a range of spatial scales, including the scale of a few kilometers at which the flow is described as a converging, swirling plume ( Lewellen et al. 2000

[The only other known compilation is available on the Turkish Meteorological Services Web page (in Turkish) at http://www.dmi.gov.tr/FILES/arastirma/afetler/hortum.pdf . It consists of 31 tornadoes recorded between 1940 and 2010.] The climatology spans the years 1818–2013. Tornado climatologies recently have been published for several European countries, including

1. Introduction As late as the mid-1990s, Finnish meteorologists generally assumed that severe convective storms or tornadoes did not occur in Finland and, if they occurred, they were rare. Tornado reports were not collected, and no research on severe convective storms was published from the 1960s until recently. However, since 1997, severe thunderstorms, and especially tornadoes, have received a lot of media attention in Finland. Thus, Finnish meteorologists have started to appreciate the
A Model for U.S. Tornado Casualties Involving Interaction between Damage Path Estimates of Population Density and Energy Dissipation
William D. Berry
1. Introduction Nearly one-fifth of all natural-hazard fatalities in the United States are the direct result of tornadoes ( National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2015 ). A tornado that hits a city is capable of inflicting hundreds or thousands of casualties (death or injury). Data from the Storm Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that the 27 April 2011 Sawyerville–Eoline, Alabama, tornado produced 1564 casualties, with 64 of them resulting in
Tornado Warnings, Lead Times, and Tornado Casualties: An Empirical Investigation
Kevin M. Simmons
1. Introduction Tornadoes in the United States have become less deadly over the past 75 yr, with the annual national tornado fatality rate declining from 1.8 per million residents in 1925 to 0.11 per million in 2000 ( Brooks and Doswell 2002 ). The National Weather Service's (NWS's) efforts to issue more accurate, reliable, and timely tornado warnings and to educate the public about tornado safety have surely contributed to this reduction. Conventional wisdom suggests that NWS warnings explain
A Revised Tornado Definition and Changes in Tornado Taxonomy
Ernest M. Agee
1. Introduction and considerations The first proposed tornado taxonomy was presented by Agee and Jones (2009 , hereafter AJ) consisting of three types and 15 species, ranging from the type I (potentially strong and violent) tornadoes produced by the classic supercell, to the more benign type III convective and shear-driven vortices such as landspouts and gustnadoes. This original taxonomy was presented to (i) help organize and sort out the variety of tornado occurrences, with different roles

Nocturnal Tornado Climatology
Amanda K. Kis
Jerry M. Straka
1. Introduction Nocturnal tornadoes are defined as occurring between sunset and sunrise. They compose only about a quarter of observed tornadoes, yet account for over 40% of tornado casualties ( Ashley 2007 ). This dichotomy was recently made very apparent during the active year of 2008, throughout which nocturnal tornadoes accounted for many injuries and fatalities that included 23 deaths by a single enhanced Fujita scale 3 (EF3) tornado in Tennessee during the Super Tuesday outbreak on 5


Hi there! I'm a data scientist and PhD candidate in the MS&E department at Stanford University. My interests include polarization, modeling culture, social mobility, trust, and criminal justice. I currently work with Johan Ugander, Sharad Goel and Amir Goldberg.
Before coming back to school, I worked at Airbnb on search, experimentation, knowledge sharing, and building out the data science team. I occasionally do part-time data science consulting.
We study the impact of going to college on people's social networks, using a large data set of networks from over 1k colleges in the U.S. We compare the structure of the resulting networks, the network formation processes, the role of homophily, heterogeneity across schools, connections between schools, and the long-range impact of networks formed during college years. This project is done in collaboration with Bogdan State and Lada Adamic.
We propose the use of choice models to study social network formation. A large number of network formation models (including preferential attachment, triadic closure, node fitness and homophily) can be unified when seen from a discrete choice perspective. The ability to sample data, as well as the existence of theory and software routines, make it easy to fit these models to large graphs. This paper was written with Johan Ugander and Austin Benson.
We trace the cultural integration of three firms based on analysis of email content before and after their subsequent mergers and explore how patterns of cultural assimilation that individuals follow after the merger relate to their subsequent career outcomes. This project is part of the Computational Culture Lab in collaboration with Anjali Bhatt, Amir Goldberg, and Sameer B. Srivastava.
Using public record requests we compiled and analyzed a large dataset of over 130M state patrol stops in 31 U.S. states. We find that minority drivers are persistently more likely to be cited, searched, and arrested than white drivers. We also looked at the impact of marijuana legalization in Washington and Colorado. We released the data, for other researchers to work with. This work is part of the Stanford Computational Policy Lab and done in collaboration with Emma Pierson, Camelia Simoiu, Sam Corbett-Davies, Vignesh Ramachandran, Cheryl Phillips, and Sharad Goel.
I was at Airbnb from 2012 to 2016, as the first data scientist working on product. I worked with teams across the company, but my main focus was search. I also worked on data tools, including the experimentation platform and a system to share knowledge and findings within the company. I wrote a few external blog posts during my time there: on search, experimentation, and the knowledge repository.
I worked with CouchSurfing to study how trust gets signaled and propagated in the community. We found linguistic markers that are highly predictive of distrust, and that trust relations are transitive enough to improve predictions of the valence of new ties. This work was done with Bogdan State, Ellery Wulczyn, and Chris Potts.

More Reflections from Portland during Landscape Architecture Month
On this last day of Landscape Architecture Month in the year 2020, we are continuing to respond to the challenges of extended stay at home directives. We are also trying to imagine what a return to "normalcy" will look like in our households, neighborhoods, public spaces and larger communities.
We, as landscape architects and designers, are looking beyond our own backyards to further consider how shared outdoor spaces will function. We long for our accustomed physical and social connections; yet it remains difficult to grasp the large and small steps to regain what suddenly has gone missing. Will these spaces be more profoundly valued as social sanctuaries and essential to peoples' lives? This experience of imagining adaptations to life beyond the mandates of COVID-19 reminds me of the difficult reckoning with our shock and vulnerabilities after the 911 attacks in 2001. The threat was different, but the feeling of fear was impactful. I recall how the opening of the newly christened Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade was transformed into a sacred space for those who gathered. Rather than the planned gala celebration of the Eastbank, city staff and event sponsors came together to organize the Illuminata, a nighttime candle-light vigil. It was held in solidarity with the many people across the nation who were deeply affected by the crisis. A procession formed a continuous ribbon of humans and light along the east and west banks. The ribbon spanned across two bridges of the Willamette River. Its mirrored procession was reflected on the surface of the river. Public participation in the Illuminata was far greater than we ever expected. I still think about the impact, peace and beauty of coming together in that moment: a powerful, emotional, shared experience that was all about hope. For many of us, we were able to move forward, in part, from that point.
Now, as we stay home, our expressions of hope and solidarity are experienced very differently. We realize it's unrealistic to think that any single point in time will acknowledge the end of a world pandemic. Unlike declaring an end to a war, there will be no exact moment that helps us attain closure. How will we gain a post-pandemic perspective, given the effects of the human tragedy and disruption that we are currently experiencing? Collectively and individually, we will all remain profoundly shaped by this experience.
Over time, we will resume family and friend gatherings, sports, festivals, farmers markets, parades and concerts, the "normal" activities in the spaces that we once took for granted. It is my hope that we reflect upon and recognize the value of our shared spaces. Will they, in an entirely new way, begin to feel sacred?

Reflections From Within
In the face of this unprecedented novel coronavirus crisis, we all pause for personal reflection. As designers of the built environment, we are also considering the perplexing social distancing adaptations that require a rationing of physical space. We're all being asked to analyze the potential consequences of our individual actions at a microscale. We're also thinking at a macroscale of effects across the country and globe, which is difficult to fathom.
We witness many people turning to parks and open spaces for solace, mental health and nature, as well as exercise routines and recreation. Increasingly, we grasp the value of friendly, walkable neighborhoods and flexible open spaces—places where we can spend time outdoors with our kids, family members and neighbors (at an appropriate distance) during these times of crisis.
We crave optimism and are looking for ways to restore our bodies and souls. We recognize that our connection to nature, sunlight and fresh air is essential to our being. The appropriate levels of engagement and respectful use of outdoor spaces are key. And the need for increased resources deployed to the underserved parts of our community is further underscored—now more apparent than ever.
In walking to a number of neighborhood parks here in Portland throughout the last month, we see diverse people from all walks of life savoring the spring air: couples, elders, multi-generational families, parents with strollers, teens, tweens and solo dog walkers. We study how they consciously populate shared outdoor spaces and (for the most part) demonstrate concern for others. People who pass on walkways and in streets often acknowledge one another in ways we rarely see in urban environments. We nod to porch sitters. Our basic human desire to connect, even with strangers, seems as strong as ever before.
The need for collective awareness and respect for each other is heightened at this time. It's an opportunity to remind ourselves of the importance of our investment in our parks, access to nature and the public realm. As landscape architects, designers and planners, we must use this time to deepen our understanding of the intrinsic value of parks, walkable streets and public spaces where everyone can feel a sense of belonging. We must redouble our efforts to create spaces that promote the values of equity and inclusion throughout the region. Everyone deserves access to these shared assets that help to define a healed, healthy and re-connected community.
A New Playscape for Creston Park Breaks Ground
With final design complete, the much anticipated Creston Park playground and pathways project is breaking ground for construction. This beloved park in SE Portland will get upgraded play equipment that is accessible and inclusive, bright and cheerful, and carefully nestled between the existing stand of Douglas firs. New accessible pathways will connect to the playground from the parking lot and Francis Street. We're looking forward to seeing the neighborhood kids swing, jump, hang, imagine, climb, spin, create and play to their heart's desire.

A lack of self-confidence and a weak talent pipeline are among the biggest challenges holding back female managers.
That's according to Women in Leadership, the first ever whitepaper released by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) on gender issues.
• Identify your goals and what you want to achieve through your career at different stages, using tools such as the Grow model for coaching.
• Assess your career development to date - are you fully satisfied? Does your vision match the reality? What are your options for getting there?
• Look for opportunities. Assess the internal opportunities at your organisation, assess your skills and qualifications, build networks and learn to better negotiate your salary.
• Keep an eye on your progress and continue to revisit your plan. What has been the result of your actions?
• Inspire younger women by getting involved in your local school or taking on a mentee.
• Measure and report on the proportion of women in your workforce, including at senior levels. Where there is little progress, act on it.
• Create supportive networks and encourage mentoring opportunities for female managers.
• Prepare future leaders with the skills they need to do a good job at the top including training, experience and qualifications.
• Enable women to be wives, mothers and carers by embracing flexible working at all levels.
• Require companies who have transgressed to publish aggregated pay data at all levels within the business.
• Focus on the talent pipeline, not just the boardroom: ensure greater transparency from employers about the level of female representation at different management levels.
• Inspire younger women's career aspirations by integrating management and leadership development into the education and skills system at every level, as recommended by the Heseltine review.
The release of Women in Leadership marks both International Women's Day (8 March 2013), and CMI's own commitment to sign up to the Government's 'Think, Act, Report' voluntary initiative, which aims to drive greater transparency around gender employment issues. CMI is also supporting women in the workplace with its Women in Management Network, which is the largest women's network in the UK with more than 7,500 members and offers events and support to female managers across the country, including through its Horizon Mentoring Programme.
On CMI's signing up to the initiative, Minister for Women and Equalities, Maria Miller, said: "I am very pleased that the Chartered Management Institute have today signed up to the Government's Think, Act, Report initiative. More than 70 leading organisations across a wide range of sectors have already joined, including BT, Accenture, IBM, Network Rail and Marks & Spencer. More than a million employees are working in companies signed up to Think, Act, Report. By their public commitment to promoting gender equality, these organisations are leading the way and I hope others will follow their lead.
"It is important that companies have a diverse range of people at every level. What is good for equality is also good for business - quite simply companies make better decisions when their staff are drawn from the widest pool, as they understand their market and their customers better."
Ann Francke, chief executive of CMI, said: "The business case for more women in senior positions is clear. Research has shown having women at the top is good business sense: firms do better with diversity.
"Sadly, for many organisations, it seems that Wonder Woman is still worth less than Superman. Just look at the FTSE 100. With only two women CEOs, UK plc will continue to lose out on female talent if businesses don' t report on the progress and show what they are doing to tackle the issue. Women in Leadership should serve as a call to action for employers to tackle inequality - and reap the business benefits that come with it."


Used to traverse Auckland to go to the Otahuhu food court and remember choosing a vindaloo from the curry stall. The chef did that inimitable indian head wobble and said 'I was not ready for his vindaloo', and he meant it, only relenting on the third visit. It was worth the wait but not all that dangerous.
growing up in Mangere in the 70s we had one couple over the back fence - outwardly Pomgolian, but she was born and raised in India and he'd been a soldier stationed there - who used to pass facemelting curries over on a regular basis. my dad would pretty much leave the house for the duration, salt and (white) pepper was the beginning and end of his flavour palette.
then over the right fence was a Fijian-Indian family who used to host regular celebrations and invite the whole neighbourhood over. got to enjoy Indian style sweets for the first time as well.
was all very mouthpopping for a wee nipper, and it took me a long while to appreciate them. I'm a horrendous sweater when it comes to chilli which, while considered a spectator sport by some, is never a look I particularly enjoy.
Later on in London, we'd trip up to the famous South Indian restaurants in Euston.
The same Euston strip also had the Everest which introduced me to Terai Nepalese curries, a passion I've retained to this day. I'm lucky enough to get to Hong Kong a few times a year and have become habitual in my need to head to the Himalaya in Wan Chai (and the killer Szechuan place just along from it but that's another story).
Rick Stein, eh? By chance late last night we watched a repeat of his food tour through Louisiana. I went to bed so, so hungry and dreamed of spare ribs and steak and pound cake!
Two good South India restaurants in Hamilton: RR South India (out near the university) and Bananaa Leaf (not sure why the extra 'a') in Hamilton East. A long tradition of Indian restaurants here--might be something to do with the tradition of Indian dairy farming in the Waikato.
Love it. You had to show you were serious.
If only the Scoville scale were more useful, one could present credentials showing tolerance to a particular level.
Ah curry. Close to my heart! My first curry experience must surely have been something my mother concocted with Gregg's curry powder in the 70s, which only my dad liked. Then the various crappy Indian restaurants on the Shore in the 90s. I went to one dodgy outfit in Hauraki Corner for a friends cheap birthday dinner. There was a mountain of wine bottles out the back, and when you went past the kitchen to the loo you could see these gargantuan pots of curry. One was being stirred with what looked like an oar, one with something attached to an electric drill.
Curry house on the Shore these days? There was an amazing one in Birkenhead a couple of years back called Bombay Bites - they served an amazing goat curry but sadly it's gone. I think it was a bit too authentic for whitebread Birkenhead Point, a theory borne out by the baffling flourishing of the offensive Masala across the road.
Our local curry house in London was the Taj Mahal. Loved the majestic name juxtaposed with the tacky reality of the interior decoration. The good was good as I remember, but that was also before I had visited India and found out what curry really means. My husband is still chasing the dragon of the first curry we had in Delhi - a delicious aloo mattar (potato and pea).
Japanese kare raisu – best hangover food ever.
Ben I have a good sweet chilli sauce recipe that I'd be willing to share?
No need to ask! Put it up here!
I went through my notes to find out what the hot chili in my pic is. It's a Jalapeño. So not really that hot per volume, but if you take a big bite, ouch! But I've just found this site for next year's crop. That baby is currently considered to be the world's hottest chili.
oki doki :) i've had a bit of success with growing chillies this year. very pleased about that as i've had no luck in years past and it's been my fond wish to make this recipe with homegrown chillies. the main difference this year was that instead of insisting on trying to grow them from seed, i caved and bought some seedlings from the shop.
•	40 red chilli (big red ones) 60-80 if smaller chillis (de-seed).
•	Peel apples and blend with chili and garlic.
•	Put in pot and simmer with everything else except tomato sauce for 25 to 30 minutes.
•	Add tomato sauce and simmer for a further 30 minutes.
apologies for the chilli related thread-jack ….

Oh yes, I went there once and remember being impressed.
A long tradition of Indian restaurants here–might be something to do with the tradition of Indian dairy farming in the Waikato.
Well, there's one thing I learned today.
The foreground ones, shaped more like a small capsicum, sent me into convulsions, to the amusement of my children, when I made the mistake of taking a large bite.
They look like jalapenos; not actually that hot on the scoville scale, but they're big, so I guess you can get a lot of pain from one big bite.
Thanks! Makes about 3 liters? Might make my own tomato sauce for it, too, got millions of them at the moment.
Yeah me too. At about 50c per plant, yielding 10 or more chilis each, it's economic without being the headache that raising seeds is. One bonus - many types are perennial. I had a second harvest from a number of plants. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have pulled out the old stems, and would have planned where they were planted a bit more carefully.
Nice weeds! My garden's the same - I get endless brassicas coming up as weeds everywhere. Zero effort broccoli. It's amusing really, because things pop up when the season is right for them. No thinking involved, just weeding out the things you don't want.
Wow... I can see this blog is going to open a pandora's box packed full of cans of worms of an incredibly delicious nature.
Without going into curry stories from eight years of living in Singapore, by way of a theory about how much a cuisine is like a language (hard to learn, needs constant practice, feels good when you break out of rote phrases), let's just go with how my 8 year old and I harvested our way-overgrown coriander last week; first time I've bothered to, and, yep, the seeds are incredible, as described - resinous, piney, lemony; they are to store-bought coriander seeds like fresh ginger is to Gregg's Ground Ginger. Different use-case, completely different sensation. Best bit? Seeing Ruby figure out we had scored FIVE DOLLARS worth of FRESH CORIANDER SEEDS without spending a *single cent*.
And yep, like Richard says, Rick Stein's India is well worth a watch. Beats the crap out of Reza the Spice Prince.
I'm still pining about groeing my own from seed ... But something in me balks at the idea of buying a heater .... Or even having to grow things inside.
Russell - do the chilli thread :) it's a whole new conversation.
The Himalaya! We lived one street over for a good few months. What a find, after all the South Indian carry-on in Singapore.
Oh god... this thread is going to eat me alive!
Tips on growing coriander? By far my favourite fresh herb - can't grow it.
We have absolutely no idea. On the same night we were interviewed by the local newspaper, who were doing a feature on the guy who owned the cooking school (plus three hotels, two restaurants, a spice shop and who knows what else). When we read the story in the morning, the reported had taken our names and made up quotes to go with them!

Well, I did the Q&A session that Dan Davenport kindly set up for me at RPGnet's webchat channel. Dan logged the session, and if you want to find out more about Argor FRPG it's a good place to start, as I go into some depth about the game mechanics, the races, character creation etc.
If you want to talk about Argor, I'll be doing a Q&A session on RPGnet's live chat channel. The session will start at 7pm CST on Tuesday 28th October. I'll have to work out what time that is in the UK as I have a horrible feeling they change their clocks at a different time to us. Anyway, it will be stupid o'clock in the morning for me, but well worth it and I'm really pleased to be invited. Pleased and a bit nervous!
Ok here's something that looks really intriguing, and I'm glad to be doing my bit to support it: BrigadeCon offers all the fun of a physical convention, only from the comfort of your home! Yep, it's an entirely online event. Draken Games are happy to be one of the con's sponsors, and a lucky few attendees will get the chance to win a copy of Argor FRPG.
Just click on the image below to visit their site. The event takes place on 15th November.
The stats for the bull were assigned to the carnosaur and vice versa. I mean if you want a VERY scary bull (and rather less scary dinosaurian predator), fine, use the original stats. But I'd recommend going with the correction!
All the corrections are now made – new buyers will get the updated version, and like I said, those of you who have already got a copy will get the opportunity to upgrade.

Q: SAS - Advanced querying I have one SQL table with the data in SAS.  The first column is a datetime, and there is one row for each second. The set spans for about 20 minutes.  The other columns contain integer values.
Here is what I need:
For example, Let's pick 50.  How many times did the integer value go from below 50 to above 50 and stay above 50 for at least n seconds.
Is it possible to conduct such analysis with proc sql?  If yes, how so, and if not, how else?
I am new to SAS, so any help is appreciated.  Let me know if you need more info!
Thanks!

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will spend the next 18 months flying around Bennu mapping its surface.
NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has finally arrived at its destination: a lumpy, diamond-shaped space rock orbiting the Sun between Earth and Mars.
"We've been trying to catch up with the asteroid for two years," said Heather Enos, the mission's deputy investigator from the University of Arizona.
Launched in 2016, the bus-sized spacecraft has travelled more than 2 billion kilometres to reach the asteroid known as 101955 Bennu.
It's taken the long way around to save energy, using a flyby past Earth to slingshot it into the asteroid's orbit.
On its way, the spacecraft sent back its first images in August, and since then, the asteroid's shape and surface have started to become clearer.
"We are seeing what appear to be canyons and we are seeing a big bulging boulder that's coming out off the top that literally looks like it's dangling and could fall off at any moment," Ms Enos said.
Now it's arrived, the spacecraft will start work mapping the asteroid's surface.
Over the next three weeks, hovering about 7 km above the surface, the craft will take high-resolution images and get preliminary data about the asteroid's mass, spin rate and shape.
Then, for the next 18 months, it will explore every nook and cranny of Bennu, searching for an ideal spot between the rocks to collect a sample of space dust to bring back to Earth in 2023.
What's so special about Bennu?
Bennu was chosen by NASA from more than 500,000 known asteroids.
To start off with, it had to be close enough to get to.
Bennu is one of 7,000 near-Earth objects. Not only is it close to us, it has an orbit that is similar to ours, which makes it easier for a spacecraft to go into orbit.
Around 500 metres in diameter, it is just one of 26 asteroids with the perfect size.
Asteroids less than 200 metres in diameter rotate so quickly that it would be difficult for the spacecraft to keep up.
"We will get up close and personal with Bennu and match its rotation state, so it's important that it's not rotating too quickly," Ms Enos said.
There would also be less chance of scooping up material from the surface of a smaller asteroid, she added.
"[Bennu] should maintain much of its material because it's not spinning so quickly," she said.
"So size is a big deal."
And its dark colour indicates it's one of just five asteroids that may contain a lot of organic compounds.
"Bennu is like a time capsule of the elements and composition of things that were preserved in the early solar system," Ms Enos said.
That not only makes it a record of our early solar system, but an interesting target for mining in the future.
"It could be an opportunity for agencies such as NASA or private industries to be able to determine whether or not they could go to such an asteroid and extract the resources necessary to create fuel, for example," she explained.
An artist's concept of OSIRIS-REx at asteroid Bennu.
Studying Bennu could also give us information about the threat posed by near-Earth asteroids.
Ms Enos said Bennu is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid.
"Currently the estimate is that it would have about a 1 in 2,700 chance of striking Earth in the late 22nd century — about 150 or 170 years from now."
It's too small to wipe out life, according to calculations by the team, but it would cause a major natural disaster with damage for hundreds of kilometres around the impact site.
The OSIRIS-Rex mission will measure how solar wind affects the asteroid's trajectory, a phenomenon known as the Yarkovsky effect.
Ms Enos said direct observation of this effect will help scientists update the probability of Bennu, as well as any other potential asteroids, hitting the Earth.
How will the spacecraft collect space dust?
OSIRIS-REx is short for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer.
On board the spacecraft are a suite of cameras and an altimeter to provide detailed images of the asteroid's surface, and tools that map chemical composition and temperature.
For the next month, OSIRIS-REx will do three flybys over Bennu's poles and equator, measuring the asteroid's mass, spin rate and shape down to a resolution of 75 centimetres.
Once NASA has this information pinned down, they will put the spacecraft in a series of orbits that match the rotation of the asteroid.
The asteroid Bennu is estimated to be just over 500 metres wide.
The spacecraft will inch closer and closer to the surface of the asteroid over time, as it zeros in on a target spot.
"We have to get a site that has the right tilt and has the right sample and grain size," Ms Enos explained.
They will also need to find a spot that is no more than 75 degrees Celsius to ensure the chemical compounds in the sample are preserved in pristine condition.
In mid-2020, the craft will descend slowly towards the surface and stretch out a "touch and go" robotic arm that contains a camera and dust collector.
"OSIRIS-REx will very slowly descend to the surface about 10 centimetres per second, touch the asteroid for less than five seconds," Ms Enos explained.
"As we are descending and doing our touch we'll use a burst of compressed nitrogen gas to mobilise the asteroid surface."
They'll use the camera on the arm to decide whether the dust collector has sucked in enough space dirt.
Ideally, they'd like to get enough dirt in one go, she said, but they have enough nitrogen to try three times.
After the spacecraft collects the sample, it will need to wait another six months before beginning its two-year journey home.
Already the team are happy with what they've seen.
"Bennu is not as rocky as Ryugu," Ms Enos said.
Ryugu is another near-Earth asteroid, which is being orbited by the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa 2.
Earlier this year the Japanese mission placed three robots on Ryugu, but plans for the spacecraft itself to touchdown on the asteroid's rocky surface and collect a soil sample have been delayed.
"I want [Bennu] to be scientifically exciting, but I also want it to be not so incredibly challenging that we won't be able to successfully get a sample and return it to Earth," Ms Enos said.


Can you show me your full project XML so i can see fully what you're trying to do?
I figured it out thank you. I have a read excel that I had a file list on. The count rows was trying to count the rows in the file list instead of the row set. I removed the file list from the read excel and created a separate one then it worked, thank you.


Break into teams of 2, one works while the other judges.

Bajorországi Mária Anna Viktória (teljes nevén Mária Anna Krisztina Viktória Jozefa Benedikta Rozália Petrónia hercegnő, , ; München, Bajor Választófejedelemség, 1660. november 28. – Versailles, Francia Királyság), a Wittelsbach-házból származó bajor hercegnő, Ferdinánd választófejedelem és Savoyai Henrietta Adelheid leánya, aki Monseigneur Bourbon Lajos herceggel kötött házassága révén francia trónörökösné, dauphine. Gyermekei között van a későbbi trónörökös, Lajos, Burgundia hercege, valamint az első Bourbon-házi spanyol király, Fülöp, Anjou hercege.

Élete

Származása, testvérei

Mária Anna Viktória hercegnő (Kurprinzessin) 1660-ban született Münchenben, szüleinek legidősebb gyermekeként. Édesapja a Wittelsbach-házból való Ferdinánd Mária bajor választófejedelem (1636–1679) volt, I. Miksa bajor választófejedelem (1573–1651) és Mária Anna osztrák főhercegnő (1610–1665) fia, II. Ferdinánd német-római császár unokája.

Édesanyja Henrietta Adelheid savoyai hercegnő (Adelaide Enrichetta di Savoia, 1636–1676) volt, I. Viktor Amadé savoyai herceg (1587–1637) és Krisztina Mária francia királyi hercegnő (1606–1663) leánya, IV. Henrik francia király unokája, XIII. Lajos király unokahúga.

Szülei házasságból nyolc gyermek született, négyen érték meg a felnőttkort:

 Mária Anna Krisztina Viktória (1660–1690), 1680-tól Lajos francia királyi herceg (1661–1711) felesége.
 Miksa Emánuel (1662–1726), utóbb II. Miksa Emánuel néven Bajorország választófejedelme, aki 1685-ben Mária Antónia osztrák főhercegnőt (1669–1692), 1695-ben Sobieska Terézia Kinga lengyel királyi hercegnőt (1676–1730) vette feleségül.
 Lujza Margit Antónia (1663–1665), kisgyermekként meghalt.
 Lajos Amadé Viktor (*/† 1665), kisgyermekként meghalt.
 Egy halva született fiú (*/† 1666).
 Kajetán Mária Ferenc (*/† 1670), születésekor meghalt.
 József Kelemen (1671–1723), 1688–tól Köln hercegérseke, választófejedelem.
 Jolánta (Violante) Beatrix (1673–1731), aki 1689-ben Firenzében feleségül ment Ferdinánd de' Medici toszkánai trónörökös herceghez (1663–1713), III. Cosimo de' Medici legidősebb fiához.

Neveltetése
Anyja nagy súlyt helyezett leányának művészeti és zenei képzésére. Mária Anna Viktória verseket írt, szépen festett, hárfázni és énekelni tanult. Tanárai közé tartozott a korszak neves zeneszerzője, orgonistája és csembalistája, Johann Caspar von Kerll (1627–1693 ).

Maria Anna Viktória hercegnő saját korában kifejezetten művelt leányzónak számított. Német anyanyelvén kívül (melyet erős bajor akcentussal használt), folyékonyan beszélt franciául, olaszul, latinul. Jól rajzolt, elegánsan és könnyedén táncolt, tehetségesen énekelt és csembalózott. Erzsébet Sarolta (Liselotte) pfalzi hercegnő, Fülöp orléans-i herceg (1640–1701) felesége, XIV. Lajos sógornője, aki később a francia udvarnál találkozott Mária Anna Viktóriával, igen élénk szellemű, szeretetre méltó, és természetesen viselkedő személynek írta le őt, aki mindig előzékenyen, de méltósággal viselkedik, és sohasem vét a jó ízlés ellen. A kortársak azonban azt is egybehangzóan írták, hogy a hercegnő egyáltalán nem volt egy szépség. A róla készült portrék, amelyek pedig mindig megszépítve ábrázolták modelljüket, hogy növeljék férjhez menési esélyét, megerősíteni látszanak ezt a vélekedést.

Házassága, gyermekei

1680. január 16-án XIV. Lajos rendkívüli müncheni nagykövete királya nevében megkérte Mária Anna Viktória hercegnő kezét a francia trónörökös számára. A házassági szerződést a két uralkodó diplomatái – francia részről Charles Colbert, Croissy márkija (1625–1696), Jean-Baptiste Colbert pénzügyminiszter öccse – már két héttel korábban elkészítették. Mária Anna Viktória hercegnő 1680. január 28-án Münchenben házasságot kötött Lajos francia trónörökös herceggel (1661–1711), XIV. Lajos király és Mária Terézia spanyol infánsnő egyetlen fiával, Franciaország trónörökösével. A vőlegényt megbízottai képviselték.

A hercegnő ezután útra kelt Franciaország felé. Útját ünnepélyes fogadások kísérték. A szájhagyomány szerint Strassburgban, amely ekkor még birodalmi szabad város volt – 1 évvel később, 1681-ben már elfoglalták Mária Anna apósának csapatai, – a város egyik elöljárója német nyelven köszöntötte a bajor hercegnőt, ő azonban (úgy mondják) felszólította a szónokot: "Monsieur, beszéljen franciául!"

Franciaországban ebben az évben éppen átmeneti béke uralkodott. 1679-ben ért véget a francia–holland háború, amelyben XIV. Lajos területi gyarapodást ért el a Spanyol-Németalfölddel és a Német-római Birodalommal szemben, de már folytak a következő háború előkészületei, amelyet XIV. Lajos az ún. egyesítési politikával alapozott meg. A dinasztikus házasság révén erősödött a bajor–francia politikai közeledés. XIV. Lajos potenciális szövetségesre lelt Bajorországban. A frigy súlyosan aggasztotta I. Lipót német-római császárt, akinek jó oka volt attól tartani, hogy a Német-római Birodalom és Franciaország konfliktusa a Habsburgok nagy vetélytársa, Bajorország, a Napkirály szövetségeseként Salzburgon keresztül támadást intézhet Ausztria ellen. A császár félelme nem volt alaptalan: Még Lipót életében, a spanyol örökösödési háború során Mária Anna Viktória öccse, II. Miksa Emánuel bajor választófejedelem valóban sógorapósának, XIV. Lajosnak oldalán szállt harcba a Birodalom és szövetségesei ellen, de a höchstädti csatában vereséget szenvedett Savoyai Jenőtől, és lemondott Ausztria meghódításáról.

1680. március 7-én a champagne-i Châlons-sur-Marne városában (ma: Châlons-en-Champagne) megtartották a 20 éves Mária Anna Viktória bajor hercegnő és másodfokú unokafivére, a 19 éves Lajos francia trónörökös herceg ünnepélyes esküvőjét. A házasságot dinasztikus alapon kötötték, alapvetően XIV. Lajos politikai törekvéseinek megfelelően. A házasságból három gyermek született:

 Lajos (Louis) királyi herceg (1682–1712), a "Kis Trónörökös", Burgundia hercege, aki 1696-ban Mária Adelheid savoyai hercegnőt (1685–1712) vette feleségül. (Három gyermekük született, köztük a legfiatalabb maradt életben, ő lett a későbbi XV. Lajos király).
 Fülöp (Philippe) királyi herceg (1683–1746), Anjou hercege, 1700-tól V. Fülöp néven Spanyolország királya, 1701-ben Mária Lujza Gabriella savoyai hercegnőt (1688–1714), 1714-ben  Farnese Erzsébet pármai hercegnőt (1692–1766) vette feleségül.
 Károly (Charles) királyi herceg (1686–1714), Berry hercege, aki 1710-ben Mária Lujza Erzsébet orléans-i hercegnőt (1695–1719) vette feleségül.

Élete a francia udvarban

Mária Anna hercegné a trónörökös feleségeként a királyné után a második legmagasabb rangú hölgy lett a Napkirály udvarában. Szoros baráti viszonyt ápolt sógoranyósával, Erzsébet Sarolta pfalzi hercegnővel (Liselotte von der Pfalz), Fülöp orléans-i hercegnek (1640–1701), a király öccsének feleségével, aki a Wittelsbach-ház pfalzi ágához tartozott (Mária Anna a család bajor ágából érkezett).

Első fiának, Lajos burgundiai hercegnek, majd még két fiúgyermekének születése nagy tekintélyt kölcsönzött neki. Az egyenes ági trónöröklés biztosítottnak látszott. A büszke XIV. Lajos új címet kreált első fiúunokájának, ő lett a Kis Trónörökös (le Petit Dauphin). Megkülönböztetésül apja, Mária Anna férje pedig a Nagy Trónörökös (le Grand Dauphin) címet kapta. Mária Anna rangja ezzel a Nagy Trónörökösné (la Grande Dauphine) lett. 1683-ban Mária Terézia királyné elhunyt, és Mária Anna lett az udvar legelső asszonya. Be is költöztették a versailles-i kastély királynéi lakosztályába. (XIV. Lajos második, titkos felesége, Maintenon márkinő sohasem kapott hivatalos udvari méltóságot).

A női szépséget igen magasra tartó francia udvarban a "csúnya hercegnő" élete nem volt felhőtlennek mondható. Férje, bár házasságuk első éveiben gyengéden szerette feleségét, fiai születése után elhanyagolta őt, szórakozásainak élt, több szeretőt tartott. Sok kortárs udvaronc – köztük Marie de Rabutin-Chantal (Madame de Sévigné) – naplójában leírja, hogy Mária Anna a vallásban keresett vigasztalást, befelé forduló, visszahúzódó, sértődékeny természetté vált.

Halála
Visszahúzódásának oka romló egészségi állapota is lehetett, környezete gyengének, betegesnek tartotta, aki bármikor meghalhat. Három sikeres gyermekszülése mellett több vetélése is volt, az első már 1681-ben, majd még öt (!) 1685-ben és 1687-ben is. Harmadik fia, Károly herceg 1686-ban igen nehezen született meg, súlyos komplikációk árán. Mária Anna Viktória hercegné 1690. április 20-án, alig 29 éves korában meghalt. Ő maga utolsó percéig úgy tartotta, hogy a legkisebb fiának szülésekor elszenvedett sérülések és fertőzések vezettek halálához. Halálos ágyán gondoskodott bajor kíséretének tagjairól, megáldotta gyermekeit. A 3 éves Károlytól, Berry hercegétől búcsúzva, Racine Andromakhé c. tragédiájából sóhajtott el egy sort: "Ó, kisfiam, napjaidért anyád drágán fizet." A későbbi kutatások szerint valószínű, hogy tuberkulózisban szenvedett, ez hozzájárult korai halálához. A párizsi Saint-Denis-székesegyházban temették el.

Fejlemények halála után
Özvegye, Lajos herceg, a Nagy Dauphin 1695-ben ismét megnősült. Apjának tiltása ellenére egyik kegyencnőjét, Marie-Émilie de Joly de Choint (1670-1732) vette feleségül, aki – Pfalzi Erzsébet Sarolta orléans-i hercegné visszaemlékezései szerint – "csúf nőszemély volt, tekintélyes méretű keblekkel." 1704-ben Mária Anna második fia, Fülöp, Anjou hercege V. Fülöp néven Spanyolország királya lett, trónigényét apjának, XIV. Lajosnak segítségével a spanyol örökösödési háborúban is el tudta ismertetni.

A Nagy Trónörökös nem lett király. 1711. április 14-én este meghalt, még apjának életében. 1712-re Mária Anna legidősebb fia, a Kis Trónörökös Lajos, Burgundia hercege, annak felesége, Mária Adelheid savoyai hercegnő és három fiuk közül a két idősebb is elhaltak. Mária Anna második fia, Fülöp herceg a spanyol trón elismerése fejében lemondott francia trónigényéről. A harmadik fiú, Károly, Berry herceg 1714-ben baleset következtében meghalt, utód nélkül. 1715-ben elhunyt XIV. Lajos trónját dédunokája, Mária Anna Viktória legfiatalabb unokája, az 1710-ben született Lajos, Anjou hercege örökölte, XV. Lajos néven.

About Ventura County
Ventura County is a county in the southern part of the U.S. state of California (Southern California). It is located on California's Pacific coast, and forms the northwestern part of the Greater Los Angeles Area. It is often referred to as the Gold Coast, and has a reputation of being one of the safest populated places and one of the most affluent places in the country. It is ranked as one of the top 100 highest-income counties in the country and as the 6th wealthiest county in California by per capita income. Median Home Prices range from $400,000 to around $2 million. This is partly because it is part of the Tech Coast Area, and has a large presence in technology corporations like telecommunications, healthcare, development, and especially biotech corporations, most of which are located in the Conejo Valley.
As of the 2000 census, the county had a population of 753,197. A more current California Department of Finance estimate places the population at 813,052. The county seat is the city of Ventura (formally known as San Buenaventura). Ventura County's largest city is Oxnard, with a population of about 200,000.
As of the census² of 2000, there were 753,197 people, 243,234 households, and 182,911 families living in the county. The population density was 408 people per square mile (158/km²). There were 251,712 housing units at an average density of 136 per square mile (53/km²). The racial makeup of the county was 69.93% White, 5.35% Asian, 1.95% Black or African American, 0.94% Native American, 0.22% Pacific Islander, 17.68% from other races, and 3.93% from two or more races. About one third (33.42%) of the population is Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There were 243,234 households, of which 39.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 59.5% were married couples living together, 10.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 24.8% were non-families. 18.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.04 and the average family size was 3.46.
In the county the population was spread out, with 28.4% under the age of 18, 9.0% from 18 to 24, 30.7% from 25 to 44, 21.7% from 45 to 64, and 10.2% who were 65 or older. The median age was 34 years. For every 100 females there were 99.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 97.5 males.
The median income for a household in the county was $59,666, and the median income for a family was $65,285. Males had a median income of $45,310, versus $32,216 for females. The per capita income for the county was $24,600. About 6.4% of families and 9.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 11.6% of those under age 18 and 6.3% of those aged 65 or over.
According to an updated 2005 US Census, median household income was $66,859, while mean was $85,032. Per capita income was up to $29,634, making it the 6th wealthiest county in California.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 2,208 square miles (5,719 km²), of which, 1,845 square miles (4,779 km²) of it is land and 363 square miles (940 km²) of it (16.43%) is water. Anacapa Island of Channel Islands National Park and San Nicolas Island are located in the county.
Most of the population of Ventura County lives in the southern portion of the county. The major population centers are the Oxnard Plain and the Simi and Conejo Valleys.
North of Highway 126 the county is mountainous and mostly uninhabited, and contains some of the most unspoiled, rugged and inaccessible wilderness remaining in southern California. Most of this land is in the Los Padres National Forest, and includes the Chumash Wilderness in the northernmost portion, adjacent to Kern County, as well as the large Sespe Wilderness and portions of both the Dick Smith Wilderness and Matilija Wilderness (both of these protected areas straddle the line with Santa Barbara County). All of the wilderness areas are within the jurisdiction of Los Padres National Forest.
A common flower in the area, and the official flower of the neighboring City of Los Angeles, Strelitzia reginaeThe highest peaks in the county include Mount Pinos (8831', 2697 m), Frazier Mountain (8017', 2444 m), and Reyes Peak (7525', 2294 m), all in the San Emigdio Mountains (Pinos and Frazier Mountain are sometimes assigned to the Tehachapis). The uplands are well-timbered with coniferous forests, and receive plentiful snow in the winter.
Mount Pinos is sacred to the Chumash Indians. It is known to them as Iwihinmu, and was considered to be the center of the universe; being the highest peak in the vicinity, it has a spectacular view, unimpeded in three directions.
The Santa Clara River is the principal waterway. Lake Casitas, an artificial reservoir, is the largest body of water.
Ventura County is served by Amtrak and Metrolink trains, as well as Greyhound Lines, Gold Coast Transit (formerly South Coast Area Transit), and VISTA buses. The cities of Camarillo, Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks have their own small bus systems.

Oxnard Airport, just west of Downtown Oxnard is a commercial and general aviation airport. Commercial flights are available to Los Angeles International Airport.
Camarillo Airport, formerly a US Air Force Base, is a general aviation airport located south of the City of Camarillo.
Santa Paula Airport is a privately owned airport. However, it is open to the public for general aviation.
Unlike most other areas of Coastal California, Ventura County is relatively split between Democrats and Republicans, with a slight majority tending to support the Republican Party in local and national elections. While Republicans used to win a large majority of votes throughout the 1970s and 1980s, no party has received more than 60% of votes since 1988. The last Democrat to win a majority in the county was Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Yet, the 23rd congressional district, which includes coastal regions of Ventura County along with the cities of Oxnard and Ventura, has a Cook Partisan Index (CPI) rating of D +9, meaning that a Democrat will on average defeat a Republican by a 9 percentage point margin. It is currently represented by Democrat Lois Capps. Most of the county's area, including the inland areas and cities of Thousand Oaks as well as Moorpark, is in the 24th district, which is held by Republican Elton Gallegly. In the State Assembly, Ventura is in the 35th, 37th, 38th, and 41st districts. The 35th and 41st districts are held by Democrats, Pedro Nava and Julia Brownley, respectively; the 37th and 38th districts are held by Republicans, Audra Strickland and Cameron Smyth, respectively. In the State Senate, Ventura is part of the 17th, 19th, and 23rd Senate districts, which are held by Republicans George Runner, Tom McClintock, and Democrat Sheila Kuehl, respectively.
Current county supervisors are Steve Bennett, Linda Parks (Chair), Kathy Long, Peter Foy, and John Flynn. Bob Brooks is the sheriff of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. Bob Roper is the chief of the Ventura County Fire Department.
Ventura County typically has limited housing inventory making it a consistently expensive location in Southern California where it is usually the third most expensive county behind Orange and Los Angeles counties. The county was not on track as of March 2018 to meet its state-mandated housing goals. Individual cities are responsible for meeting their assigned housing goals, while the county government is responsible for housing goals in unincorporated areas. Several affordable housing groups that are actively working on building housing for veterans and low income people have long waiting lists. Farmworker housing also has waiting lists though designated units continue to be built.
Ventura County has a considerable range in climate because of differences in topography between one part of the county and another. Rainfall is limited in summer and crops have to be irrigated. The average annual temperature is near 60 °F at low elevations near the ocean, in the 50s over most of the northern two-thirds of the county, and less than 45 °F in the Topatopa Mountains. The annual range in temperature is between 70 °F and 80 °F on the Coastal Plain and as much as 100 °F in the interior. For July, the average maximum temperature is between 70 °F and 80 °F on the Coastal Plain but exceeds 90 °F in the upper part of the Ventura- and Cuyama River Valleys. For January, the average minimum temperature is near 40 °F on the coast but in the lower 30s and upper 20s in the northern parts of Ventura County. No temperature data are available for the highest point in the county, Mount Pinos. The length of the growing season ranges more than 300 days near the coast to less than 175 days in the coldest part in northern Ventura County. In both the northern and southern ends of the county, the annual precipitation totals between ten and fifteen inches. In the Topatopa Mountains, the annual total is more than thirty-three inches. The drier parts of the county get less than five inches of rain annually, and the higher and wetter parts get more than 60 inches annually. Measureable amounts of rainfall in Ventura County are reported on thirty to thirty-five days annually, and half an inch or more on six to twelve days annually. In the northern parts of Ventura County, snowfall averages five inches or more per year, and along the northern border and Mount Pinos, more than twenty inches.
