Ok well let the game begin :)...I'm not going to talk in third person like " Miss m. was born in blah blah and then she performed in blah blah..." :) So here it goes...Hi! You probably already know my name but I want to let you know of some fun facts about me before starting to talk about all those resume stuff!
!) every body calls me Maryam but there are 23 letters in my full name and YES that's crazy.
@) I love red.
#) I think mermaids are super-cool
$) I wish I had a pet dolphin!
%) I watched a lot of wrestling as a kid and the hardy boys are my favorites!
if you're still reading => YAY. now lets talk about my experience. I started music, theatre and art when I was very very young. I moved to different cities AND countries so I had the chance to be taught by very different perspectives and teachers that had nothing in common but music. All that time beside being humble to my teacher I could still take notes of what they did that I loved and what they did that I hated as a student. Then when I was in high school I realized I loved helping people to learn and I started teaching and using those " words of wisdom" I left for myself. I know what it feels like to be a student believe me. I still am a student in college. I understand your pains and gains and happiness and sadness and everything you go through in your journey. I'm very flexible with different genres. In fact I started as a classical musician then changed to pop then rock then metal then blues then jazz and finally I realized : OK I admit it. I love all of them and I try my best to teach you what you want to learn. Oh and you might also be interested to know that I can also speak fluent Farsi. So what do you say? Lets open the door of Narnia together. It'll be AWESOME!
*** Lesson Details ***
I want you to improve. I want you to put time and be great at what you do. I truly love all my students and I want your happiness. As of teaching goes, I'll make sure to meet all your needs but it's you who can make a difference. I don't believe in talent , I believe in hard work and practice. everybody is born with the same blank canvas it's what you draw on it over time that matters.If you let me know that you have other things than music or you're maybe busy to practice a lot, I'll give less things to practice �after every 3 month ( what I call a semester) you can choose songs to record in my home studio. I don't have a fancy studio but I have enough equipment to record and edit demo songs. I'd love my students to participant in talent shows and I'm always looking to put you out there in the real world of music.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Any thing a student and their parents might need.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can bring my guitar to accompany but the student needs to also provide their own instrument. I will also need the voice students to have a keyboard or a piano as a lot of voice technique exercises need the piano accompaniment.
*** Specialties ***
I'm professionally an electric guitarist.. Started with classic guitar and then changed genre to rock and metal and then started exploring jazz but I consider myself a rock solo guitarist with some spices of jazz and i still play classical. I'm also a pop/rock singer with flavors of jazz and I've been singing classic music as well.
Composition, Music Theory, Piano
My name is Javier and I love to teach !
I am originally from Guanajuato, Mexico and in my last year of high school, I decided to take private piano lessons with a local teacher and it was during this time period that I learned classical pieces by Beethoven and Mozart. I also took music notation and I tried a hand at composing, discovering a new way to communicate in terms of music.
After moving to the USA, I resume my music education, learning new concepts on classical, blues and pop styles, as well as chord progression and accompaniment pieces. After a year and after completing the teacher training program, I started to teach piano from my home studio.
During this time, I took upon myself two more years of intense composition study and experimenting with some of the secrets of this art, which now has become one of my passion. In 2007 I earned a diploma from this institution and in the same year I released two CDs of my own compositions: Van Gogh Sunflower's and Dimes y Diretes.
This year I have enrolled in a music program at the Music Conservatory of San Francisco, where I am expecting to learn and expand my knowledge on technique, performing, and music ensembles.
For six years, I have been teaching successfully from my home studio, teaching students of all ages and with different music backgrounds.
*** Lesson Details ***
I teach piano and I specialize in classical and contemporary music styles
I am a strong believer of traditional teaching methods, however, I have learn that we all learn in different ways, so I let my students discover music by teaching them how to relate to the piano first, after they become familiar with the instrument by playing easy but wonderful melodies I start with the process of teaching music notation, scales, chords, analyzing songs, music history, exercises.
I teach all ages, I am very patient and supportive, never pushy but firm with my students goals.
Cello, Violin
With more than 20 years of teaching experience for the cello, I have taught students of all ages, throughout California and overseas. I earned a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Cello Performance and am currently the Principal cellist for the Camellia Symphony, California. In addition, I am teaching all levels of cello and beginner violin lessons to my students in Folsom, Napa and Sacramento.
My professional performing experience began in Medellin, Colombia in 1985 with the Medellin Philharmonic Orchestra where I was their Soloist beginning in 1992 and later on, as First Cello, from 1998-2002.
While in Colombia, I also performed with the Antioquia Symphonic Orchestra and the Antioquia Chamber Orchestra from 1991-1999.
I left my hometown of Medellin to come to the United States where I performed with the Texas Christian University Orchestra in Fort Worth, Texas in 2000. Returning to Medellin, I spent the next year with the Eafit Symphonic Orchestra.
Finally, I settled in Sacramento in 2003, coming here to earn my Master's Degree in Cello Performance while performing throughout the next year with the California State University, Sacramento Symphony.
In Sacramento, I have also performed with the Sacramento Metropolitan Orchestra and with several other chamber groups.
At this time, I am teaching all levels of cello and beginner violin. My students range in age from six to seventy years and enjoy learning in a relaxing environment at their own pace.
I incorporate several different teaching styles to meet each students' individual needs and abilities.
*** Specialties ***
cello, violin
Suzuki for kids and traditional classical style.
Music Theory, Piano
I took piano lessons as a child and my passion for music blossomed. I have been playing for over 30 years. I have always loved writing my own songs, and finally recorded a CD of original contemporary piano. I started teaching piano in 2007, and I am passionate about teaching my students proper techniques and concepts correctly so they will become proficient at reading and playing music. I have always connected easily with children and consider myself very fortunate to be able to teach the joys of music to children of all ages! I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications, I performed as a member of a local college orchestra for 2 years, where I played second string violin and piano. I also have performed drama on stage. From 2011-2013 I have taught music classes to kindergarteners up to sixth graders at a local private elementary school. I am a member of Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), and California Association of Professional Music Teachers (CAPMT).
*** Lesson Details ***
Poorly taught lessons do more damage. Improperly trained students will often have to start back at the beginning to undo bad habits. Why not teach them right the first time? I specialize in teaching beginning students in a fun learning environment. No two students are alike, and everyone learns at a different pace. I cater to your child and will find the best way to encourage them to learn. Your child will learn how to read and play written music proficiently, while learning the proper techniques and concepts correctly the first time. I focus half my lesson time on music theory, and I use fun music apps on my iPad to reinforce note recognition, rhythm counting, and many other fundamental music concepts.
I am a member of Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and the California Association of Professional Music Teachers (CAPMT).
*** Studio Equipment ***
Living room, grand piano, upright digital full keyboard piano, patio for parents to wait.
*** Specialties ***
I like to incorporate discovery learning and step-by-step teaching methodology in my lessons, where I help the student arrive at the answers on their own, thus improving the process of concept retention, and building their confidence. My focus is mostly on building a strong musical foundation where my students will learn to read and play written music proficiently.
Guitar, Music Theory, Piano, Singing
I'm Esther, a very enthusiastic musician. I started out teaching myself piano and singing in a choir at the age of 9. I moved to the U.S. in 1992 and studied music for 10 years receiving my B.M. & M.A. in music at California State University of Sacramento. I studied and trained with Claudia Kitka & Jackie Victorino for voice and Kirsten Smith, Joan McDe, & Angel Mamn for piano. I have performed many solo concerts in the U.S. as well as South Korea.
I find a student's strengths and weaknesses using various ways to encourage each student. I am very patient, kind, flexible, and enthusiastic and I love working with children as much as adults. I strongly support basic skills: sight-reading, pitch and tone.
I have 26 years experience teaching kids and adults private piano and 6 yrs voice coaching (early period to contemporary). I speak fluent Korean and English.
*** Lesson Details ***
My objectives: to help students powerfully communicate through the essence of music and aid the development of children and adults by finding their strengths and weaknesses and to develop their skills and show their musical talents. I emphasize basic skills, good sight-reading, and Solfege skills (Do-Re-Me...etc), vocal technique, vocal performance, and Alexandria technique. Students participate in their own recital and show their musical talents.
Lessons are held at either your home, or mine using composers from various time periods that speaks to the individual student.
A beginner lesson may be 10-15 min. for warm-ups and scales, 10-15 min. theory and 10 min. playtime. In three to six months the student will be able to read sheet music and should be able to perform simple songs.
An intermediate lesson is longer, 45-50 min., with more focus on music from a specific chosen time-period. A specialty is preparation for voice and piano auditions for entering college.
I enjoy teaching children from age 5 up to adults. I also can teach beginner oboe and beginner guitar.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano, electronic keyboard, guitar, oboe
*** Travel Equipment ***
guitar, oboe

I teach the basic skills very strongly, and also encourage students and, challenge them, as well.

I grew up in a household of 9 where music was always center stage. We would sing as a family in different venues and were often called the VonTrapp family. I have enjoyed singing and performing from a young age. I began studying flute at age 8, after scoring highest in the harmony listening exam and began formal violin lessons at the age of 9. I studied all genres including, fiddle, classical, musical theater and 20th century. I have continued to study violin since then and have performed in many orchestras and small groups, such as Honor Orchestra, the Paradise Symphony, the Yuba College Orchestra, Yuba-Sutter Oratorio Society Orchestra and more. I have been concert master and first stand in many of these. I have also soloed in many and have been the first violinist in quartets for countless weddings and other events. I have also played in numerous pit orchestras for musicals.
I have been in choirs and soloing since I can remember. I have performed and soloed in choirs such as the Yuba-Sutter Oratorio Society, CSUS Chamber Choir, the CSUS Women's Choir and more. I have toured to Victoria, Montreal, Ottowa, Oregon and Washington. I have also been in opera productions such as The Magic Flute, Peleas and Melisande and Die Fledermaus (The Bat) with CSUS Opera. I am a recent recipient of the Saturday Club Scholarship, a prestigious award, and have won many competitions (some repeatedly) both vocally and with violin, such as the Tri-County Competition, Young Artist Competitions, and the California Soloist and Ensemble Competitions. Additionally, I have performed musical theater repertoire and have performed as lead in musicals such as Beauty and the Beast and Into the Woods. I have also soloed repeatedly with the Yuba College jazz band and at churches all around.
I have earned my Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from CSU Sacramento. I have my Associates Degrees in both Music and Early Childhood Education from Yuba College.Additionally, I have obtained my certificate of completion of training from Music Together, an organization which trains teachers to teach Basic Music Competence (both in tonality and rhythm), and am currently teaching this curriculum.
I have been teaching music privately for over ten years to all ages, genders and abilities. Additionally, I have taught ages 0-5 years in a preschool setting for 7 years and am extremely familiar with developmentally appropriate practices for both preschool school age, as I am a site supervisor at a child development center with a preschool and after school program. I have had many adult students as well and encourage adults to enrich their lives with music at any age! Additionally, I have experience teaching parent child classes and am familiar with how to teach to the particular needs of each family and student.
I'm extremely excited and looking forward to growing as a professional, both teaching and performing, in both the areas of violin and voice and to be instrumental in your musical growth too; I can't wait to share my passion with you and to ignite your passion for music too!
*** Lesson Details ***
I have been teaching since 2002 and have loved every minute of it! I teach all ages. I tailor my style of teaching to each student's goals and to what works for you. If you want to learn Taylor Swift music, I won't be giving you arias. On the other hand, if you wish to study classically, I have repertoire appropriate for you. I teach fiddle, classical, orchestral, 20th century and more for violin students and have experience with jazz, classical, musical theater, pop, religious, spiritual, choral, 20th century and more vocally.
For violin students, I use the Suzuki method as a pushing off point, a tried and true method used in many countries across the world, though I have other repertoire including fiddle, orchestra, small ensemble, solo, concertos, Christmas, and more. For vocalist, I start with the book, Adventures in Singing. I also have warm ups and exercises to keep you vocally healthy. I will teach you anything you want to learn! I also teach how to read music, theory and harmony, depending on your interest and tailored to your current skill level.
I am encouraging and knowledgeable. I will meet you at your current level, be that beginner, intermediate, or advanced. My students can look forward to being encouraged and growing through their time with me. I don't have preset ideas about where you should be in 3-6 months, nor do I have a one size fits all teaching style. Instead, I will work with you individually so that you will become the best musician you can be, meet your goals, and increase your enjoyment and appreciation for music.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Lessons in open space, digital piano, music stands, violins available for rent, music, staff paper and computer
*** Travel Equipment ***
I expect my students to provide the instrument with all of it's accessories (ie shoulder rest, rosin, bow and case) along with the appropriate level Suzuki book. I have instruments available for rent. My voice students should bring their own music also. I have an electric piano in my studio along with music stands. Of course, every student must have a pencil an come ready to have fun learning! :)
*** Specialties ***
Suzuki, solfege, art songs and arias, reading music, fiddle, classical, healthy vocal technique and musical theater. I am very good at working with any age.

WHO WE ARE: Alessandro Galvanni, was born near Milan as the son of Flavio and Laura Galvanni in 1936 in the village of Seriate! His father was a veteran on the horseback riding and his mother was famous with her tailoring. Due to the hard economic conditions during this years and Mussolini's fascist pressure on the regime they immigrated to Britain to a small town close to London.
Due to his fathers expertise in the field of horseback riding the Galvanni family found work at an Earl's stable. While the mother Laure started to do all the tailoring jobs for the Earl's family. During Alessa's childhood years he helped his father and mother at the Earl's court. In recent years he developed a passion for Horses and the game of Polo which he was able to watch on the competitions attended by the Earl.
At his twenties with the mentorships and support of the Earl he started to study in London at the fine arts academy. When he graduated from school at the age of 25 he turned back to his family at the Earls court. He stayed there and took over the tailoring job of his mother and designed all the families' clothes until the decease of the Earl in 1973.
MISSION: 1973 was a turning point for Alessa. After the death of the Earl he founded his first company under his family name Galvanni and got specialized in polo shirts. During the first year the production was only handmade and preferred as a brand in the region by polo players.
VISION: From 1973 to the present, Galvanni is currently expanding the brand internationally by exporting in several European countries and still providing its customers with polo collections.

Taxes remain flat in Waukesha County budget
Waukesha - Waukesha County government will be able to balance its 2013 budget with a few dollars less from most homeowners.
The county will collect $512 in property taxes for 2013 - $2 less than this year's budget - on a home with a median value of $243,200. The taxes will help pay for a $273.77 million spending plan for 2013 adopted Tuesday by the County Board.
The total cost of county government drops 3.8% in 2013, fully $10.9 million less than this year, County Budget Manager Keith Swartz said.
Waukesha County spends less per resident than any other county in the state, Swartz said.

Storms do damage once again in Waukesha
A thunderstorm once again left behind major damage in Waukesha.
It wasn't as widespread as last month when high winds uprooted many trees across the city and county and left thousands without power.
But one image from last night showed the similarity to the June 30 storm.
An ash tree was completely uprooted near the curb and fell onto a ranch home in the 300 block of N. Greenmeadow Drive.
As a result, city of Waukesha Forestry workers were seen Wednesday morning cutting down the branches from the storm that toppled the tree and brought down a number of branches near Waukesha North High School on Tuesday night.» Read Full Article

Jury trial set for Rep. Bill Kramer on sexual assault charges
A jury trial has been ordered to begin Oct. 28 for state Rep. Bill Kramer (R-Town of Waukesha) on sexual assault charges, online court records show.
Kramer, the former No. 2 lawmaker in the Assembly, was charged in March with two felony charges of second-degree sexual assault stemming from an incident three years ago.
According to the Waukesha Freeman, Kramer's attorney Eduardo M. Borda said Friday that Kramer will fight the allegations that he shoved a woman into a car, tried to kiss her, touched her indecently and made inappropriate comments to her outside a Republican Party event at a Muskego tavern in 2011.
The assault charges were filed this spring after Kramer drew widespread criticism for allegedly harassing two other women, one a legislative aide and the other a lobbyist, in a more recent case.
Kramer is accused of groping the staffer and harassing the lobbyist while at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 26.» Read Full Article
Waukesha panel rejects parent request to ban 'Looking for Alaska'
Waukesha — A Waukesha School District committee voted unanimously Friday to reject a parent's motion to ban the book "Looking for Alaska" from schools.
Ellen Cox filed the request after her daughter, a student at Waukesha South High School, brought graphic sexual content in the book to her attention.
Cox told the district's Consideration Committee that students can get life lessons from books that don't glorify profanity, drug and alcohol use and sex.
"We didn't give teachers permission to expose our kids to these things," Cox said, adding that she plans to appeal.
Committee member Maria Trainor said books such as "Looking for Alaska" help people think about the variety of issues that are prevalent in diverse cultures.» Read Full Article
Waukesha police respond to couple fighting after an alleged argument over dance music at Salty Toad
The selection of dance music at one downtown Waukesha bar apparently led to a couple fighting and police having to intervene.
According to the police blotter, Waukesha police responded to a domestic disturbance call after someone reported a man and a woman fighting at 151 E. St. Paul Ave. at 8:47 p.m. July 19.
The caller said it appeared that the woman hit the man and was yelling for him to get away from her as they walked through the Waukesha State Bank parking lot near the Riverwalk.
Police, however, learned that the man and woman, who were both heavily intoxicated, were fighting over what song to dance to at the Salty Toad in downtown Waukesha earlier in the night.
The man's story, however, changed multiple times and there wasn't enough criteria for a domestic arrest.» Read Full Article
'Loud political conversation' brings police to Waukesha residence
Political debates can no doubt get heated around here.
But in Waukesha a political discussion was mistaken for a fight that led to a police call.
According to the police blotter, a caller was passing by and heard a lot of screaming coming from an address in the 400 block of Madison St.
But upon police arriving at the residence at 11:33 p.m. July 11, officers didn't find anyone fighting. They just heard a loud conversation about politics.
For other strange calls to police as well as thefts and burglaries, see Waukesha NOW's weekly police blotter page.

Waukesha County Fair officals are calling it one of the best attended fairs in its 172 year history.

Waukesha teenagers charged with felony counts for recent burglaries on southwest side of city
For now, residents can find comfort in the idea that authorities believe they have cleared recent home burglary incidents, as well as theft incidents at Waukesha South High School.
The three Waukesha teenagers that were arrested for the recent string of burglaries on the city's southwest side were each charged with multiple felony counts last week in Waukesha County Court.
If convicted, Johnathon Lilteich, 17, Harley McKay, 18, and Collin Hoya, 18, face up to 12 years and six months in prison and $25,000 in fines on each of the five burglary counts.

July 25, 2014
The Staff at the Jamesburg location should be the training model for not just Uncle Bob's but for all storage facilities. Though it was in the first day of transitioning from another company to Uncle Bob's and the unit I needed was the smallest offered you would think the way the Staff accommodated me I was renting out half the place. Even the follow up calls to ensure my needs were being met was a pleasant surprise, and one that will not be forgotten.Kevin from Florence, SC

The net expense ratio takes into account a voluntary fee waiver or expense reimbursement, without which the Fund's performance would have been less. The fee waiver for this Fund was amended on 7/1/09 and may be modified or terminated at any time. The net expense ratios are shown as if the amended waiver had been in effect for the fiscal year ended 3/31/09.
The net expense ratio (where applicable) also takes into account contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements without which performance would have been less. These undertakings may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the current prospectus, unless approved by the Board.
The net expense ratio represents the Fund's gross expense ratio less certain interest and related expenses from the Fund's investment in inverse floaters, as reported in the latest prospectus. Under accounting rules, the Fund recognized additional income in an amount that offsets those expenses. the Fund's total returns and net asset values are not affected by those offsets.
The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance and expense ratios may be lower or higher than the data quoted. All fund returns include change in share price, reinvested distributions and the sales charges as listed below, unless "without sales charge" is indicated. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual's investment. Class A Share returns include a maximum sales charge of 5.75% (equity), 4.75% (most fixed income), 3.5% (Senior Floating Rate Fund, Senior Floating Rate Plus), 2.25% ("limited term" fixed income funds and Currency Opportunities Fund) and 0% (Money Market Funds). Class B Share returns include contingent deferred sales charge as follows: For years 1 - 6 respectively, charges are 5%, 4%, 3%, 3%, 2%, 1% except for "limited term" fixed income funds (4%, 3%, 2%, 2%, 1%, 0%) and Senior Floating Rate (3%, 2% 1.5%, 1.5%, 1%, 0%). Class C Share returns include a 1% contingent deferred sales charge and are subject to an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75%. Class R Share returns are subject to an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.25%. Annual asset-based sales charges are applied as follows: 0.75% on Class B/C; and 0.25% for Class R shares. Class Y shares are not subject to a sales charge. Prior to 7/1/14, Class R shares were named Class N shares and were subject to a 1% CDSC (18 months)
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star with some adjustments for multiple share class portfolios. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating Metrics. Oppenheimer Rochester Minnesota Municipal Fund was rated against the following numbers of U.S.-domiciled Muni Minnesota over the following time periods ended 5/31/14: 59 funds in the last three years, 53 funds in the last five years, and in the last ten years. With respect to these Muni Minnesota funds, Oppenheimer Rochester Minnesota Municipal Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 5 stars, 5 stars and — stars for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods, respectively. Morningstar Rating is for the A share class only and rating may include more than one share class of funds in the category, including other share classes of this Fund. Different share classes may have different expenses, performance characteristics and Morningstar ratings. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

I was nervous about ordering a dress online as I always like to try it on first. I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the size 6 in chocolate brown and it fit perfectly. The other reviews said it was tight fitting around the chest. I did not have this problem. I am an A cup bra size but I can see that anyone bigger than a B may have trouble with this dress. If you are bigger busted I would reccomend ordering a bigger size. I purchased this dress for my sister in laws wedding which is in the fall. The weather will be cooler so the longer length is perfect. Also a great price. I am very happy and can't wait to wear the dress.
I love this dress and plan on wearring it to an evening wedding in July. I am 5ft 6inches and 138 pounds and the size six fit perfectly. My only complaint is that you have to be real careful when zipping up the dress. It has a tendency to catch on the silk cumberbund. You really need a second person to help you get dressed.
I have to say this was a beautiful dress, size was accurate and was perfect lenght for me, I'm 5-4. 140lb. size 10 fit perfect. Got alot of compliments, love the dress its dressy for a wedding yet elegant for and modest for a religious meeting.
Very long.... Had taken up which added swing. Color is very nice, zipper not great quality and bit stiff. Tailor was unable to take in at all cut on curve. Overall it was what I was looking for without breaking bank.
I love the look of this dress and the color is amazing. My only complaint is that I had to get one size bigger than I normally wear and the top fits loosely while everything from the ribs down is tight.
I haven't worn yet but this dress looks like some I've paid 200 for!! It's simply elegant & the navy is true navy
Dress is well made and soft to the touch. It wears well and the fit was excellent.
wonderful chiffon teal dress. very flattering and the price is great.
ordered wrong size ,my fault dress was pretty , will do better next time
I was pleased overall with the dress. Just had trouble initially with the zipper since it was brand new.I don't get many things online since I worry about the fit ,this was a great fit. I've told everyone where I got the dress from and I got so many compliments.

Learning county roads / geography ?
To all the FTOs / Training Officers / Deputies,
I have a question for you guys, do you have any suggestions on games, learning aids, and anything else, to learn the roads and geopraphy of a large county? I have been looking at maps and driving the roads some on my off time. It is just a fair sized county, over 800 square miles with a lot of rural gravel roads, a fair amount of them unmarked. While I have a GPS, I am not allowed to use it while on FTEP, I am just allowed to use a map, which works, but is a little slow. So just looking to see if you guys know of anything besides what I am doing that had worked well in the paste for other people.
The reason I am asking is I just switched from a small city PD to working for the county, and the main thing I need to work on is learning all the roads and geography.
Before coming to the City I worked for a Sheriff's Dept. I got 2 county maps. I took one of the maps and cut it into three sections ( North South and Central) I then laminated these three pieces. This made it easier to learn the roads. When I was working the North end of the county I would get out my laminated section for the north. It is much easier to handle than a huge county map.
As far as best way to learning the roads, I just drove, drove and drove some more. Every time I turned onto a road I would say it out loud and as I was driving I would try to guess which twp or county road would come up next. I learned the roads pretty fast but even after a few years I would have a brain fart and pull out my laminated maps.
Draw the map of the county yourself. Nothing fancy, but the more detail you put into it the more you will remember. Start with the main get to roads (highly used main roads). I used to do this for geography classes and it works.
Meanwhile, fishing in Russia:

Don't use GPS. It's like driving around looking through a paper towel cardboard tube. They are good later on for situational awareness but not for finding the best route. I like the idea above about drawing a map. Using maps is good to give an idea of how roads and landmarks relate to each other.Pleasing nobody, one person at a time.

You're not going to learn it overnight....or in a couple weeks...or months...or even, probably, in the first year.
Drive it as often as you could, look at EVERY single road sign you pass so you always know where you are.

The best thing you can do, is work the streets. Run calls, it will come. We have a map on our CAD system, a "Street guide" for the city ont he computer, and I carry a laminated copy of the phone book map above the visor. Worked out well so far, and after about a year on, I know most of the streets I get sent to.

Learning County Roads / Geography ?
I have a couple of thoughts. Like another poster suggested, I took a section of map, cut it to clipboard size, laminated it, and it was on my clipboard when I needed it. The other thing that helped me a lot is finding out what the system is for you area. For example, some places run an alphabet system. Some have a mile of "A: streets, a mile of "B'" streets, etc. Others have a certain theme to certain areas. Maybe it is streets with tree names, Oak Street, Birch Street, Walnut street, etc. Find out how it is laid out and that will help you out. Our County road numbers are even if they are an east-west road and odd for north-south roads, the numbering starts at County Road 2 on the north end and gets higher as you go south. There will be exceptions, but knowing the system will help.
Also, do you work a decimel system? I work the Denver metro grid, so we're lucky. Hundred blocks that coincide with numbered east west avenues (62nd is the 6200 block, etc), and generally patterned north-south streets/roads/boulevards. Where I mostly work is alphabetical, two streets per letter, with the second being a plant or tree of some sort. (Albion, Ash, Bellaire, Birch, Clermont, Cherry, and so on.) After that, it still stays alphabetical. When I hear a street, I can think of the general area of where it is based on the alphabet letter, and knowing what "block" of an alpha set belongs in, and can therefore probably guestimate the hundred block it is. Vice versa, I can hear an address, and I might not know the hundred block cross street (since my city spans from the 2300 E block to the 21000+ E block), but I can tell you that it will be in the area of X and Y street that I DO know the hundred block to, then head east 10 blocks to the address.
On our system too, it's easy to remember "East is even, north is not" when it comes to even and odd addresses and what side of the street they'll be on."If anything worthwhile comes of this tragedy, it should be the realization by every citizen that often the only thing that stands between them and losing everything they hold dear... is the man wearing a badge." -- Ronald Reagan, in the wake of the deaths of 4 CHP troopers in the Newhall Incident, 1970
The opinions given in my posts DO NOT reflect the opinions, views, policies, and/or procedures of my employing agency. They are my personal opinions only, thereby releasing my agency of any liability, or involvement in anything posted under the username "121Traffic" on O/R.
Well for me I was learning a large metro area, so for county use I'm not sure how well this will fair, but I got a part time job delivering pizza. In addition to the advice given already which I did as well, I delivered pizzas. It helped me to learn the streets faster and even some house numbers. It also helped to give me an undercover like edge to knowing where some of my problem houses were. Showing up with a delivery and having pot smoke roll out the door as a wasted guy answers, the guy screaming at his wife and breaking things as you arrive, the guy who has stacks of tv's and car radios in his living room.... Delivering pizza was a good way to familiarize myself with the locals. It also helped me to know the nice residents of my ward, the doctors, politicos / lawyers (ugh), pilots, businessmen, etc. It helped to meet and familiarize myself with the people I served, and it came in handy later, allowing me to go up and talk to people as if I knew them, because in a way I did.
And I agree with everyone else so far, the gps is a crutch, use it as a tool but don't ever ever let it get the best of you, it is not without failures and should not be relied on so heavily you loose true "street smarts"
oh, btw, The vast majority of pizza delivery drivers make minimum wage, so please be sure to tip more. And strangely (not) poor / lower working class tip better than rich people. The bigger the house and the more wealthy they were, the more likely they will give you exact change or in the case of one lady, she gave me a whopping three cents over and told me to keep the change.

i used to read out loud to myself every street sign i passed, every time, until i knew where that street was.in the warriors code there's no surrender, though his body says stop, his spirit cries...NEVER. deep in our souls, a quiet ember, knows its you against you, its the paradox that drives us all. its a battle of wills, in the heat of attack, its the passion that kills, and victory is yours alone.
the posts and opinions stated by me do not in any way reflect the values, beliefs, or views of my department. they are simply opinions and/or observations which have been developed through my personal experiences. hell, most of the stories probably arent even true...wink wink
In Georgia, roads have to be specially certified for local officers to run radar, and most little roads aren't listed. All the speed limits are listed on the permit. When I was in FTO, I took the permit and a county map and color coded all the roads that were on the permit with their speed. It really helped me learn the through roads in the county including some of the ones that look like side streets, but are handy cut throughs.
OTOH, I still have the old speed limits stuck in my head 12 years later, and I don't have a radar.
Later when I first had a laptop in the car, I kept a GIS map on my laptop that I could zoom in and out of. I learned that some of the geography that I had in my head was messed up, and I learned some more short cuts that way.
Your tax assessor's office or your county GIS department should be able to provide you with all kinds of maps. They can probably give you a map book with cross references.
Another place you might want to check is the fire department. They don't get out as much as we do, and they're not nimble enough to make a lot of driving mistakes, so they probably have mapbooks in each vehicle. I get the impression that they check their routes before they roll if it's on a residential street.
Finally, I'm a big fan of GPSs. On a bush bond, having a GPS in your back pocket can be real helpful when you're on foot in the woods, and you come up behind a subdivision or when you're in an unfamilar area. I've caught people just by doing a little work on the GPS and figuring out where the other side of the woods came out when we chased one out of the county.

text: So everytime I come on here I see this ad "Three people unfriended you. Find out who they are!". Is this real? I really don't care who unfriended me, but I do care that in the last two years I unfriended like 1700 friends just to keep my privacy. Is this real? How awful. I didn't delete anyone because I disliked them (though some I admittedly did). Is this real? God I'm going to have 1700 enemies now. Or is this just a phishing expedition?

I just recently bought my self a new car (2006 civic) and have decided that this would be a good time to install my first car audio system.
I have decided to go with the polk sr6500's for my front speakers (i am not having rears) powered by the polk c300.2.
I have two jl 8w7's that will be housed in custome fiberglass enclosures in my trunk right next to each wheel well closest to the back of the trunk. Each of these will be powered by it's own polk c500.1.
As for my head unit, here is the great part. I am not going to have one. Since i like computers and work them alot i have decided to put a computer in my car that would handle everything a head unit normally would and a whole lot more. (MP3, DVD, Wi-fi, Gps Nav, Phone hands free, even things like nes and sega emulators courtesy of two wireless game pads in the glove box :)) All of this will be controlled by a 7" touch screen monitor that will be put in my front dash along with a lite-on dvd-rom drive.
Well anyway i started my install over the weekend i knocked out all the dynamatting (wow! it was alot of dynamatting, I put two layers of dynamat extreme on everything) and running of wires (power, speaker, vga, usb etc etc) and thought i would put some pictures up of my progress so far. I had no idea that dynamatting was going to be the pain in the ass that it was but i got it done and i must say i was pretty proud of the job i did especially beacuse this is my first time doing anything with a car. I was really suprised in how quite the inside of the car is now after i finished all the dynamat. Driving to work on monday was awseome, pretty much zero road noise :D!
I will post more pictures of my progress as it comes along. I am still waiting for my 6500's to come in that is why they are not installed yet. The next thing on my agenda is to get the work started on my screen and dvd-rom drive. As well as put the finishing touches on my carputer, i have it all assembled in a gutted amp case i am now just working with the software and tweaking it just how i want it before i put it in the car.
These are all before i started to gut everything out
These are after i got everything out
This is the completed trunk, including side walls, spare tire well and trunk lid. All three with two layers.
Here is my work on the floor of the car, again complete with two layers :p
This is my work on the doors (all four doors were done the same)
This is what was behind the door panel
This is my first layer on the door. Notice I also put a lot of dynamat on the inside of the door as well against the exterior panel, that really changed the sound of the door.
Then here is the finished product of what all the doors now look like
My 12volt and common ground distribution blocks are both located under the backseat. All wires are currently just hanging loose in my trunk waiting to be connected up.
What do you guys think, comments and kudos on a job well done welcome, criticism is not!. Haha I am just playing, I really want comments or suggestions on what I should do/ have done or things I might be doing wrong since I have never done anything like this before. I wanna make sure I do this right and end up being very pleased with my system ..
