- Reviewed on: 11/16/2011
The good: The Samsung Galaxy Nexus brings a ton of new and very welcome features with Ice Cream Sandwich. The design is sharp, the screen is gorgeous, and the internal performance is fantastic.
The bad: Ice Cream Sandwich has eliminated some of Android's learning curve in some aspects, just to re-create it in others. There was some static on calls, and there's no external memory card slot. Also, like other Samsung Galaxy devices, the Galaxy Nexus feels rather fragile.
The bottom line: The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a big step forward for Android, but it's not the giant leap you may have been expecting. As impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy, and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Nexus device.

This site is seriously losing credibility...ice cream can be sloppy? please get out of here and go play with the simple limited ios. P.S I am an iphone user but am not not living in a fantasy world. Either write less bias reviews or quit.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.
Awesome product, so smooth, slim and fast. Great OS
by masterpfaii on November 19, 2011
Pros: OS - Ice Cream Sandwich is what Android needed to be.
Data management
Video playback
Face unlock

Summary: I had been holding out for a new phone for some time with many phones being considered, until I saw the introduction of the Galaxy Nexus. This phone has exceeded all my expectations so far with more discovery to come I'm sure.
In summary to my own personal review, we have to remember that the Nexus range, never have been a "Chart Topper" in terms of specs when compared to other Android phones, but as an example of what is possible from, what some would term, minimal specs.
Well done Android and Samsung, I now have a phone with an Awesome screen and a superb camera (Mega Pixels are not the whole story.
I like the smoothness and the way this phone handles everything I have thrown at it, so far, without any lag or hiccups whatsoever.
The integration of my bookmarks from my Google Chrome account is another welcome addition along with the effortless surfing on the pre-installed browser, that with the ability to make pages available offline, makes for a welcomed inclusive package.
Music and the integrated Google Music is another great feature, I have my entire music library and playlist available along with the ability to make these available offline too.
So glad I made this move and the added benefit of receiving any OS updates first being the Google propriety DEV phone.
Give it a try if coming from any other Android phone you will not be disappointed, if coming from iOS, RIM or WM, welcome, welcome to a new way of doing things, so many users cannot be wrong.
In reply to the OP
"As impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy, and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android device."
I fell this is the same as saying the iPhone 4s without iOS5 is just another iPhone or Nokia Lumnia without Mango is another WM phone, after all these phones are judged as a package OS included. With the tweaks, especially to the Galaxy Nexus, to bring the best out of the components included, this package to me is a winner
Updated on Nov 19, 2011
The likes of Samsung and HTC will release phones with better cameras/lenses, faster processors, more RAM and ROM, frankly more of everything, but with these guidelines set out in the Nexus brand, the Target has been set.
Opinions always will remain personal, so many will still prefer either WM or an iPhone, both I have tried and with hands on with a iPhone 4s on a regular basis, I haven't regretted the day I adopted the Green Robot over 2 years ago, once and now with this screen too, 3.5" just doesn't do it for me.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.
Don't like this phone? then you are probably jealous
by djgang on November 18, 2011

Review is fine but needs more clarification.
by GameDiversity on November 18, 2011
Pros: I agreed with the point I believe the reviewer is attempting to make: The Galaxy Nexus as a presentation of ICS is an unparalleled success; however, as a total package (software and hardware), it is an excellent, but not outstanding phone.
Cons: If you are not an UI sophisticato, or Android purist, you might find the phone overly complicated, or complex. The hardware is good-to-excellent, but does it beat the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (if you reside in Canada)?
Summary: An UI sophisticato, or Android purist - you must own this phone ... an Android adventurous - you must own this phone .... someone looking for great hardware, great functionality, great accessories ...

NOT as EASY as it LOOKS.
by Mr_Aaron on December 17, 2011
Pros: - Amazing Screen.
- Super Fast!
- Super Fast Camera!
- Great Navigation.
- Pretty thin and light for a phone of this size.Cons: - Really confusing UI. Not user friendly at all in my mind.
- Battery is marginal (but expected).
- Cheap feel to it, unless you put a durable cover on it.
- Screen may actually be a bit on the "Too Big" size.Summary: I am a Mac guy at heart I guess. But not a devout follower which led me to WAIT for this phone. I figure everyone deserves a chance to knock ...
Summary: I am a Mac guy at heart I guess. But not a devout follower which led me to WAIT for this phone. I figure everyone deserves a chance to knock the king off his perch. And I was really rooting for this phone to do it. I'm with the rest of the crowd that hates it when manufacturers hold out on us and don't put the obvious upgrades on their phones that WE WANT. i.e. Apple 4s - No 4" or bigger screen, No 4s, No Adobe Flash, etc. But somehow we'll see it on the 5 im sure.
Back to the NEXUS. It has ALL those great features, but in my humble opinion in a VERY annoying, confusing interface. Yeah, its fairly easy in some aspects and confusing in others. I'm sure if I had someone walk me through the ANDROID language and interface I'd understand it more and like it better. But for me, if you buy something this expensive you should be able to navigate (from a basic standpoint) without needing a professional sitting next to you.
- Wallpaper, I tried to make a Facebook picture my wallpaper and it gave me some annoying grid to crop the picture. The grid wouldn't use the whole picture it would off center it, blow it up, and other crazy annoying stuff.
- The icons dont make sense (need to get used to Android I guess) and you have to look online for the Rossetta Stone to decode it.
- The Vertical to Horizontal transition is pretty slow.
- Screen is actually on the verge, if not is TOO BIG? Somewhat awkward to hold but can work with it.
- Not a world phone either, which for a phone like this I thought would be standard.
If you are a tech freak and love figuring things out and manipulatingit, than this phone is for you and all the gadgets and toys it employs. They are on the right track with this phone. However if you just want a nice smartphone without MASSIVE bells and whistles, that any person can use and interact with easily without a class, I would go iPhone 4s.
The speed of 4G is great but does eat up your battery and isn't available everywhere yet anyway, so at this point its a crapshoot.
It just seems so difficult to navigate its giving me a migrane. For the amount of $$$ you spend on a a phone like this, it shouldn't be so hard and annoying to operate. It should be easy and a joy to have. I hate to say it but I'm probably gonna swap for iPhone 4s. Had this phone for 4 days. Maybe next time Droid.3 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: WOW, this phone is AMAZING! I have had a lot of phones from Blackberry 8830, HTC Hero, Palm Pre, to the iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 and then Samsung Galaxy S II. I have never felt the urge to write a review until now -- I feel that the CNET review was pretty harsh on their (video) review and not really "fair" in their assessment. Ice Cream Sandwich will flabbergast you... the ease of use will stun you. In regards to build quality, this phone is SOLID especially in comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S II, where I dropped it Day 1. It is the perfect width, similar feel to the iPhone 4/4S and is a perfect fit in the hand (sorry Ken, don't agree on how bendy it feels at all). However, all that being said... if you have have NEVER owned an Android phone of course there will be a learning curve, and of course that's where Apple shines best. But, for previous Android users, this is what you've finally been waiting for :)

Bad Screen - warning
by agsn on January 3, 2012
Pros: The device size.

Summary: his is a warning to all who intends to buy this device for watching video. "Almost" all the devices have faulty screens, dark scenes in video's look horrible on these screens. Just ignore any one who jumps to this device screen's defense, either they have never played back a video with a lot of dark scenes or plain have never played a video on this device(If some one still insists on disputing this, post a photo of your screen displaying a still of a dark scene in a video ). This problem also exist on almost every galaxy note devices.
Here is the detailed reason why. Every video that is compressed leaves behind artifacts, the video compression engines(every one) tries to compress the darkest parts of the screen into block if they are too dark to be visible on the screen(think dark grey of the shadows). This screen cannot lower its min brightness below a certain level (in this case the level is almost 30/255). so everything that is below that brightness stills shows up as spots on the screen. This combination makes for some horrible playbacks.
It should be just plain embarrassing for the reviewers, as none seem to have caught this problem. Most like they all just played the brightest and the most colorful videos to test the screens quality.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

1997 Ferrari F355, Only 24,000 miles, Six Speed, Mint Condition! Auto Fitness / Classbenz Contact Jim @ 818-648-523 Classbenz Presents top down motoring at its best ! The Ferrari F355 was produced by Ferrari from 1994 through 1999. The F355 was the replacement for the successful 348 model. The F355 Spider is powered by a fuel injected 3.5 Litre V8 producing 375 hp with a lofty redline of 8500rpm.This engine has a unique 5 valves per cylinder, three intake and two exhaust. All of this Ferrari racing technology allowed this engine to achieve the magic output of 100hp per litre. Translated this meant the F355 Spider could reach 60mph in a scant 4.6 seconds with a 12.8 second quarter mile time. Certainly super car territory especially in 1997. With Ferrari's race bred suspension and brakes, along with this cars six speed manual transmission, this Ferrari was a force to be reckoned with on the street or on the race track. Despite its race car heritage the F355 Spider has the appointments of many luxury cars including: Factory Air Conditioning Full Leather Interior Premium Sound System Power Windows Power Seats Power Mirrors Power Soft Top Central Locking Cruise Control Alarm System Factory Alloy Wheels Staggered Width with 18in Perrelli ZR Rated Tires This F355 Spider's exterior is absolutely flawless. The Ferrari verde silverstone metallic paint is in as new condition. There are no dings or scratches. The smoke free tan leather interior is in great shape as well, showing only minimal wear. With only 24,000 miles (approx 1600 mi. per year) and up to date services,this Ferrari runs great as well. The six speed manual transmission really allows driver involvement in the driving pleasure. The engine, transmission and clutch are in good working order. The aural pleasure of running this car through the gears, is a delight that should be experienced by every car enthusiast. The MSRP on this F355 Spider was close to $130,000. Here is a great opportunity to own a sports car legend with the Ferrari pedigree and in the best color combination. The car is absolutely stunning in the Verde Silverstone and Tan color combination. What a wonderful addition this Spider would be in any car enthusiasts garage! At our dealership, we strive to accurately describe our vehicles through text descriptions and elaborate photos. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle it is not a new vehicle. Any used vehicle can have normal wear and blemishes. Before placing a bid please read the descriptions thoroughly and view all pictures. * Please note speedometer and odometer read in kilometers. The 39,844 kilometers equal 24,571 miles. The Canadian and U.S. F355's are the same North American models. The Canadian cars differ in having daytime running lights and the speedometer and odometer are in kilometers rather than miles. Both models can be registered in the United States or Canada. We often close auctions early with a phone call. We can also assist with any of your shipping requirements. Thanks for your interest. Any additional questions please call Jim

DateField does not display time zone offset.
DateField doesn't use the time zone offset, but instead always displays the default time of the phone.
How to reproduce
Create a new time zone offset value with the following line:
TimeZone timezone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-00:30");
The example uses minus 30 minutes as an offset value. Use the created offset values as a parameter in dateField constructor:
today = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
datefield = new DateField("title",DateField.DATE_TIME, timezone);
Now the dateField should have the current date and current time +/- the selected offset value.

Metrix++ is a platform to collect and analyze code metrics. It has a plugin-based architecture, so it is easy to add support for new languages, define new metrics, and/or create new pre- and post-processing tools. Every metric has 'turn-on' and other configuration options. There are no predefined thresholds for metrics or rules; you can choose and configure any limit you want. It scales well to large codebases. For example, initial parsing of about 10000 files takes 2-3 minutes on an average PC, and only 10-20 seconds for iterative re-run. Reporting summary results and exceeded limits takes less than 1 - 10 seconds. It can compare results for 2 code snapshots (collections) and differentiate added regions (classes, functions, etc.), modified regions, and unchanged regions. As a result, easy deployment is guaranteed into legacy software, helping you to deal with legacy code efficiently, and either enforce the 'leave it not worse than it was before' rule or motivate re-factoring.

Our last name starts with Hatt- which takes Harriet nn Hattie out of the running. Especially since we live in Hattiesburg. Hattie Hatt.en from Hattiesburg? Uh, no. I would have definitely considered that name too since the book Harriet the Spy basically changed my life when I was 10.
I'm also not keen on names ending in -en or -in or -on. My name does, and it sounds kinda lame with my last name. So that takes one of my favorites, Vivien, out of the running.Mrs. H.

I'm not married, but if I kept my maiden name any -o names would be out - including favourites Leo & Ivo. Also have a double-l in my name, so things like Lily, Tallulah, Delilah etc would have to be avoided, though none of those are too special to me. I don't plan on keeping my maiden name though, so I'll probably have a whole different bunch of restrictions when it comes to the time.

After the good reviews, I was so disappointed by this hotel. Venice is a hard place to find a room that isn't overwhelmingly expensive. But this hotel was definitely not a good value. The rooms are tiny and were mosquitoe invested--the burners they had did not keep the insects out. The locations is ok, near museum and at the foot... More

- Agli Alboretti Hotel
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Situated in the elegant "Sestiere" (neighbourhood) Dorsoduro Agli Alboretti is a fine family three star hotel meticulously run by Mrs. Anna Linguerri, helped by a dedicated staff, some of whom have been working here for many years. Enjoy the quiet, relaxing atmosphere of an ancient Venetian house, placed in a strategic position to visit the most interesting sites of Venice.

It is near public transports for the City, the airport and the islands (Murano, Burano, Torcello) and therefore easily reachable also from Piazzale Roma (car and bus terminal) and railway station. All the 23 rooms at disposal are furnished in 19th century or navy style and have been recently redecorated. They are fitted with private services, satellite TV, wireless Internet connection, mini bar and air conditioning in Summer. They overlook either the large street Rio Terà Foscarini or some private inner gardens among which the courtyard of the hotel where, in Summer, breakfast is served. A lift makes easy to reach the four floors of the building and the terrace on top where guests can sit and relax. The curious name "Agli Alboretti" comes from the "small trees" that were planted along the street Rio Terrà Foscarini at the end of 19th century when the canal was filled in and transformed into a street. Venetians are not accustomed to have trees along the "calli" and they started to call it "the street of the small trees." ... more less

On the Road (Penguin Classics)by Jack Kerouac
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:On the Road chronicles Jack Kerouac's years traveling the North American continent with his friend Neal Cassady, "a sideburned hero of the snowy West." As "Sal Paradise" and "Dean Moriarty," the two roam the country in a quest for self-knowledge and experience. Kerouac's love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz combine to make On the Road an inspirational work of lasting importance.
Kerouac's classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be "Beat" and has inspired every generation since its initial publication more than forty years ago. Review:"The most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat.'" The New York Times
Synopsis:Includes bibliographic references [pp. xxxii-xxxii].
Synopsis:Jack Kerouac's classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be "Beat" and has inspired every generation since its initial publication more than forty years ago.
Introduction by Ann Charters About the AuthorJack Kerouac's (1922-1969) On the Road was published in 1957, six years after its completion. It went on to become a bestseller and is considered the quintessential statement of the 1950's literary movement known as the Beat Generation. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Kerouac did stints at Columbia University, in the Navy and in the Merchant Marine before meeting Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Neal Cassady, who would influence the rest of his life and his writing. Kerouac died in St. Petersburg, Florida at the age of forty-seven.

I trusted this show with my heart and they put it through a meat grinder and burnt it to ashes and scattered it across the universe
#i will never love again
yeah that sounds about right
if this episode does not win anything or is not even nominated in the future i….
"Y'see, I feel sorrier for you than I do for him. Because you'll never know the things that love can drive a man to. The ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures, the glorious victories… All of these things you'll never know. Simply because the word 'love' isn't written into your book."
3x19 - Requiem for Methuselah
(Source: iristigerlily)
in a land of myth and a time of magic,
the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man who keeps getting emotionally and physically hurt and who has to keep his true self a secret from almost everyone he loves because if he tells them THEY WILL MOST LIKELY DIE. a man who will kill you with his face and his tears AND HIS EMOTIONS AND HIS BLATANT LOVE FOR A KING HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR. A MAN WHOSE EFFORTS AND SACRIFICES WILL PROBABLY BE IN VAIN
his name
every time I hear the lyrics "and can you kneel before the king/and say I'm clean, I'm clean" I can't help but think of Merlin and Arthur and ugh
I just want them to be happy
I hate this show

Samsungs U.S. Galaxy S II Plans to be Announced August 29 in NYC?
After looking at this press invite that Samsung just sent out for an evening event they have planned at the end of the month on August 29, Id say we are finally going to hear what they have in mind for the Galaxy S II here in the states. Were guessing of course, since the invite doesnt specifically say that, but the massive Roman numeral II certainly would suggest such things.
Everyone ready?

4Wheeling in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park?
Headed to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park and checking out what 4 wheeling opportunities that are still left in our National forest and parks system.
Anyone been there? Any suggestions? I'm trying to round up the MVUM's but paper maps only go so far. Looking for anyone who's been there. Anything open other than Old Fall River Road in the park? Going first week in July so I'm not sure how the snow pack is that far north in the Rockies. Any neighboring USFS opportunities? Boulder Ranger District? Canyon Lakes? Clear Creek? Pawnee? Sulphur Ranger District? I see lots of trails on the maps but I'm unsure of just what I might be seeing for difficulty. We're on a two week round trip to Colorado and are looking for opportunities as we pass through. Jim-kb8ymf |

Definition of isooctane in English:
Syllabification: i·so·oc·tanePronunciation: /ˌīsōˈäktān
Chemistry- A liquid hydrocarbon present in petroleum. It serves as a standard in the system of octane numbers.
- Chemical formula: (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)CH3
More example sentences- They are rated based on their ability to resist knocking against a standard mixture of two hydrocarbons, isooctane and heptane.
- Mix gasoline with the right number of hydrocarbons and you get isooctane.
- The end result is the addition of isobutane to isobutylene to form isooctane, the molecule that is the basis of octane ratings seen at the gas pumps.

Hello, I am showing the difference in kinetic energy for different velocities and impact damage from that said velocity. I would just go and buy paintballs and determine their mass on a scale, but I am a poor college student that doesn't have time for a job at the moment and I was wondering if someone could tell me the brand of paint weighed and what the masses where in grams for 10 paint balls. Thank you
Average mass of a paintball?

JEALOUS!: Firework-Shooting R/C Helicopter Taking Out Hydrogen-Filled Balloons
This is a video of an R/C tri-copter shooting Roman candles at hydrogen-filled balloons in the style of a video game. Obviously, I'm pissed I didn't have this kind of setup when I was a kid. And not just because the closest I ever came to a missile-laden R/C helicopter was a hand-me-down Cabbage Patch Kid, but one time I did throw lil Joey out the window with a trashbag parachute with fairly traumatizing results. Read: he hit the sidewalk so hard his head and legs came off. Try explaining that to your 4-year old sister when you re-gift the head as a birthday present!

Atascadero is a city in San Luis Obispo County, California, about equidistant from San Francisco and Los Angeles on U.S. Route 101. Atascadero is geographically the largest city in San Luis Obispo County. The City of Atascadero and Paso Robles have approximately the same population. Atascadero is farther inland than most other cities in the county, and as a result, usually experiences warmer, drier summers and cooler winters than other nearby cities such as San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach. Nearby State Routes 41 and 46 provide easy access to the Pacific Coast and the California Central Valley.
The population was 28,310 at the 2010 census. The brainchild of mega-entrepreneur E.G. Lewis, Atascadero is the result of nearly a century of organic community evolution. It is an amalgamation of rolling hills studded with oaks; historic buildings; quaint lake park and zoo; enclaves of artists, musicians and writers; all surrounded by visitor vistas and wineries.
Atascadero is a Spanish word loosely translated as bog, from the verb "atascar" which means to become stuck or hindered. Also, in the Chumash language, Atascadero translates into a place of much water.
The area was originally home to the Salinan Indians. In the half century between 1769 and 1823 the Spanish Franciscans established 21 missions along the California coast, including the nearby Mission San Miguel Arcángel, and Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. In 1821, Mexico won its independence from Spain, and California became a Mexican province. In 1833, the Mexican government secularized the mission lands. Mexican Governor Juan Alvarado granted Rancho Atascadero to Trifon Garcia in 1842, and Pio Pico granted Pedro Estrada Rancho Asuncion in 1845. Patrick Washington Murphy held ownership of 61,000 acres (25,000 ha) at one time.
Edward Gardner Lewis, a successful magazine publisher from the East, founded the community of Atascadero in 1913 as a utopian, planned colony. He had previously created such a community, at University City, Missouri. After purchasing the Atascadero Ranch in 1912, Lewis put together a group of investors from across the country, paid J.H. Henry $37.50 per acre ($93/ha), and celebrated acquisition of the ranch on July 4, 1913. As investors came to homestead the land that they had bought with their down payments, the area was transformed into a "tent city" with tents situated on land now occupied by Century Plaza and Bank of America. Lewis employed the services of experts in agriculture, engineering and city planning to develop his dream colony for the anticipated 30,000 residents. In 1914 the land was surveyed and subdivided. Thousands of acres of orchards were planted, a water system was installed, and construction began on an 18 mi (29 km) road (now Highway 41 west) through the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains to the ocean (Morro Bay), where Lewis built cottages and a beachfront hotel called the Cloisters.
The first civic building in Atascadero, The Printery, had the first rotogravure presses west of Chicago. Lewis then published the Atascadero News newspaper and the Illustrated Review, a photo/news magazine. The centerpiece of Lewis' planned community was an Italian Renaissance-style building, which was the home to Atascadero City Hall and the Museum until it was damaged in the 2003 earthquake. After significant upgrades and renovations, the building was re-opened in August, 2013. Built between 1914 and 1918 with bricks made from local clay, this unique and beautiful building has become one of California's Historical Landmarks (No. 958).
Founded in 1913 by Edward Gardner Lewis and incorporated in 1979, the Atascadero Colony as it was known at the time was originally envisioned as a model community. Little evidence of Atascadero's original architecture and urban design remain, as historic buildings and homes have been torn down to make way for more modern developments and the Sunken Gardens bisected by U.S. Route 101. One of the few surviving examples of original urban design can be found, however, in the Rotunda Building located near the Junior High School on Palma Avenue in the Sunken Gardens public park. Designed by Walter D. Bliss of San Francisco, construction was completed in 1918 at a cost of $180,000. It was the headquarters for the Atascadero Colony, built of reinforced concrete and locally produced brick, it had also served as a private school for boys, a veteran's memorial building, and county offices. Location: 6500 Palma Ave, Atascadero. This building was purchased by San Luis Obispo County in the 1950s as a Memorial Building. The building housed the county library, Atascadero Historical Social Museum and then the city offices following incorporation in 1979. The historic City Hall is adorned with a 40 ft (12 m) dome atop the third story, originally intended to house the library. The building was designated a California Historical Landmark. The City Hall was damaged by the magnitude 6.5 San Simeon Earthquake on the morning of December 22, 2003.
Another example of Atascadero's early architecture is The Carlton Hotel, built in 1929, located just west of the Sunken Gardens on El Camino Real, the city's main commercial street. Vacant since 1987, the building was rejuvenated, costing an estimated $15 million and completed in 2003.
The Skytherm house was developed in Atascadero. This private home pioneered solar powered cooling and heating using an integrated rooftop water system. Solar roof ponds are unique solar heating and cooling systems developed by Harold Hay in the 1960s. A basic system consists of a roof-mounted water bladder with a movable insulating cover. This system can control heat exchange between interior and exterior environments by covering and uncovering the bladder between night and day. When heating is a concern the bladder is uncovered during the day allowing sunlight to warm the water bladder and store heat for evening use. When cooling is a concern the covered bladder draws heat from the building's interior during the day and is uncovered at night to radiate heat to the cooler atmosphere. The Skytherm house in Atascadero, California uses a prototype roof pond for heating and cooling.
Atascadero is nearby the Carrizo Plain, a center for large scale photovoltaic solar energy projects that are planned to reach the gigawatt scale by 2012.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 26.1 sq mi (68 km2), of which, 25.6 sq mi (66 km2) is land and 0.5 sq mi (1.3 km2) or 1.87 percent is water. Atascadero is geographically the largest city in San Luis Obispo County.
Atascadero experiences a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification BSh).

Atascadero is currently serviced by 1 Freeway and 1 Highway:
- U.S. Route 101, is the most frequented and largest road-transportation arterial for the city of Atascadero and serves as its North-South Gateway. US-101 runs in a North-South direction and bisects the city (along with the Salinas River), into the western and eastern portions of the city. Traveling northward from the city, US-101 North runs up to San Jose, San Francisco, and continues on along the coast up through Northern California, Oregon, and finally ends near Olympia in Washington state. Traveling southward from the city, the "101" South heads down to San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and on to Los Angeles where its south terminus is.
- State Route 41 (CA SR-41), is one of the main east-west arterial for the State of California. SR 41 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System. CA-41 runs in an East-West direction. Traveling westward, CA-41 West leaves the city and gradually climbs up and over the Santa Lucia Coastal Range, where it then quickly descends and meets the Pacific Ocean, right into the city of Morro Bay, CA at its westernmost terminus when it meets Highway 1, better known as the Pacific Coast Highway. Traveling eastward, CA-41 East leaves the city and crosses over the CA-229. after traveling through rolling countryside for about 25 miles (40 km), it climbs up the Temblor Range and San Andreas Fault,and crosses over the CA-46, then 25 miles (40 km) later, crosses CA-33 and Interstate 5 and continues on as A.K.A. the famous Yosemite Freeway. The CA-41 is a great highway connecting Atascadero, CA straight into Yosemite National Park!
- State Route 58 (CA SR-58), State Route 58 (SR 58) is an east-west highway across the California Coast Ranges, the southern San Joaquin Valley, the Tehachapi Mountains, which border the southern Sierra Nevada, and the Mojave Desert. It runs between its western terminus near Atascadero, CA (junction U.S. Route 101) and its eastern terminus at Barstow (junction Interstate 15). It has junctions with Interstate 5 near Buttonwillow, State Route 99 in Bakersfield, State Route 202 in Tehachapi, State Route 14 in Mojave, and U.S. Route 395 at Kramer Junction. Route 58 gives good access to Edwards Air Force Base. Route 58 has several names throughout its length, including the Blue Star Memorial Highway (for its entire length); the Kern County Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway, for the section from Route 184 to the Kern County/San Bernardino County Line; and the Rosa Parks Highway, for the section between Route 99 and Route 184.
- State Route 229 (CA SR-229), SR 229 starts at SR 58 east of Atascadero, CA. It travels north on Webster Road as a one-lane, windy mountain road, after which the road widens to two lanes as it approaches Rocky Canyon Road. In this segment, it is a county road much like a standard rural state route. It continues north through relatively flat, rural farmland and then passes through the small town of Creston, continuing north and terminating at SR 41.

Atascadero City Hall[edit]
The Atascadero City Hall, also known as the Rotunda, is the icon of the city. Constructed in 1918, it is the symbol of the city and the crown jewel. This was the founder E.G. Lewis's vision for the Utopian community of Atascadero. In 2003, the 6.5 San Simeon Earthquake caused major damage to the historic building. During the next 10 years, the city rented out the bowling alley for use as the temporary city hall until the old one could be fixed up and made very structurally sound. In August 2013, the old city hall was complete and the city could move back in! Now, it has sprung back to life and is again the crown jewel of the city.

Game Preview 4/5/11: Angels @ Rays - A Must Win Series....Already?
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (1-3) @ Tampa Bay Rays (0-3)
Pitching Probables: LAA – Jered Weaver (1-0, 0.00 ERA) TB - Jeff Niemann (0-0, -.-- ERA)
Game Info: 3:40 PM PT; TV - KCOP; Radio - KLAA 830 AM
Well, here we are to start the season off, once again at 1-3. The Angels MUST win two game series, we can't risk going home 2-4 or 1-5, we need to be at .500 if we want to keep up with a Rangers team red hot out of the gate. Once again, these bullpen atrocities are starting the team off on the wrong foot. Despite the back to back to back bullpen blunders, there are a few things that one could get excited about regarding the Angels. For one, all that talk about Howie Kendrick "finding himself" seem to be true, and he's looking like that batting champ we were all promised. Either he's gotten off to a very hot start, or he's finding his groove, lets just hope its the latter. The outfield is looking as spectacular as we could have hoped, save for the game saving catch Wells missed on Sunday. Wells isn't to blame though, Fraudney shouldn't have put the team in such a sensitive situation. Lets just pray that these bright spots continue to shine, we're definitely going to need to bring our A++ game to face this completely new and improved Rays.

Union Contracts Overwhelmingly Approved
Precedent-setting spirit of cooperation marks the signing of agreements
MTA Long Island Rail Road has reached agreements with 17 of its bargaining units represented by 10 different unions. The agreements - which cover the period January 1, 2007 through June 15, 2010 - were signed by all rank and file unions last month, marking a historic milestone and signaling an era of mutual respect between labor and management. The Board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority approved the ten agreements today.
"Workforce development and improved labor-management relations are top priorities at the MTA", said Elliot G. Sander, MTA Executive Director and CEO. "I'm glad that we reached another agreement that respects our employees while ensuring a fair deal for the MTA and our customers."
"I am extremely pleased with the labor-management teamwork that characterized this round of contract negotiations and culminated in an overwhelming rank-and-file affirmation," said LIRR President Helena Williams. "Anthony Simon, General Chairman of the United Transportation Union (UTU) and Chairman of the Long Island Rail Road Labor Council, was instrumental in bringing the Railroad's diverse unions together."
The agreement provides for retroactive wage increases of 4% effective January 1, 2007; 3.5% effective January 1, 2008; and 3% effective January 2009. It also includes two provisions that reduce future pension costs for the LIRR while providing improvement to other benefit levels.
Anthony Simon, UTU General Chairman said: "I owe tremendous gratitude to our Long Island Rail Road President Helena Williams for all her efforts in helping us achieve this goal. I would also like to express my thanks to the leadership of our unions for their trust and support during the negotiations process. Most of all, I would like to thank all of the represented employees on the Long Island Rail Road for an overwhelming ratification of this agreement."
The UTU, which represents about 40 percent of the Railroad's 5,558 unionized employees, led the way with a signing that took place on December 6.
The MTA's action covered agreements with the UTU and the following unions in the LIRR Labor Council: Transportation Communications International Union; Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers & Trainmen; Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen; International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; Independent Railway Supervisors Association; National Conference of Firemen & Oilers; Sheet Metal Workers' International Association; and UTU Yardmasters.
