Among the types of cases that Winfield Law handles are:
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is when you drive or operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both. It also applies to situations when you have a blood-alcohol level of at least 0.08. Though most DUIs here in California are tackled as misdemeanors, certain DUI circumstances are charged as felonies.
- Drug Crime is a crime that involves the possession, manufacture, or distribution of drugs that are classified as having a potential for abuse. Depending on your past history and the severity of the offense, you may be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony when you are arrested for a drug crime. We focus mainly on felony trafficking cases.
- Violent Crime is when you use or at least threaten to use force upon a victim. Here in California, violent crime convictions here can carry hefty penalties that include fines, a tainted criminal record, incarceration, and even the death penalty.
- Property Crimes include theft, burglary, robbery, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and other types of unlawful taking that can carry hefty penalties based on the severity of the offense.
- Felony is when your crime carries the maximum sentence of over a year in jail or prison. Some of the gravest offenses can even carry the penalty of a death sentence.
If you're looking for highly competent and highly compassionate criminal defense attorneys to fight the battle with you and be by your side throughout the entire process, Winfield Law is here for you!
What To Do When Arrested in LA County
California is a capital punishment state, which pretty much explains why getting arrested for a crime can be a confusing, terrifying, and paralyzing experience for just about anyone. This is especially true if you didn't do anything wrong in the first place. The circumstance can be so overwhelming that a lot of people actually forget that they are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
If you get arrested in LA County, it's important that you know things that you should or shouldn't do as it may affect the outcome of your case.
- Stay calm and be polite. When you feel that your safety, freedom, and future are being threatened, you may have the urge to just lash out at arresting police officers. Don't give in to it. Being disrespectful and aggressive toward authorities will only make your situation worse. Stay calm and be polite.
- Invoke your right to remain silent. If there's one thing police officers are really good at, it's getting you to talk. This isn't a bad thing, but if you're not careful, you could give them incriminating statements or inaccurate accounts. Whatever you say can be used against you in court, so the best thing to do would be to respectfully refuse to answer their questions until you've spoken with your criminal defense attorney.
- Meet with your attorney. When you are brought to the police station, you can actually make one phone call before you get placed in a jail cell. Use this call to contact your criminal defense attorney and explain your situation to them. Make sure you clearly understand their advice and answers. If you don't have a criminal defense attorney, use your phone call to contact your family or friends who can find one for you.
If you get arrested in LA, knowing what to do and what not to do can greatly impact your ability to avoid unnecessarily harsh consequences. However, these just aren't enough. You'll need the excellent legal support, honest answers to your questions, wise advice, and fierce representation from a reputable LA County criminal defense attorney. This is exactly what we can offer you here at Winfield Law.
California Criminal Defense Process
If you get arrested for a criminal offense in the state of California, you're going to need to anticipate and prepare for what's to come your way. Depending on your offense, the possible sentences you could be looking at include fines, probation, incarceration in a county jail, incarceration in state prison, and even death. But before you start worrying about that part, it's very helpful to know how the process actually flows. It's best to get a good understanding of the LA County criminal process, and this is something that our defense attorneys here at Winfield Law can help you out with.
You can start with the following information about what goes on after the arrest or investigation:
- Arraignment is when the defendant is initially informed of the charges, provided with the charging document, advised of their constitutional rights, and given the opportunity to enter their plea (guilty, not guilty, or no contest). This is when the defendant first appears in court.
- Negotiation is when plea bargains and reduced charges are discussed within the courtroom.
- Preliminary Hearing takes place when the parties are not able to reach a negotiated agreement. It is when the judge decides whether or not the evidence to hold the defendant for trial is sufficient. Motions and arguments are then presented. The judge reviews the evidence presented by both parties, and if they find that the evidence is sufficient, the defendant is arraigned for trial.
- Pretrial Conference is when both parties are given the opportunity to continue negotiating a disposition and preparing for the trial. This time is also used to ensure that all relevant information and evidence are exchanged between the parties.
- Jury Trial is when the parties' attorneys select the jury, litigate pretrial motions, present opening statements, present evidence, present and cross-examine witnesses, and then present closing statements. The jury then deliberates on the case, and gives a decision on whether the defendant is guilty and proceed to sentencing, or not guilty and be released.
Knowing the state criminal process can help your case a lot; however, nothing replaces the support and guidance of an experienced and accomplished LA County criminal defense attorney. Here at Winfield Law, we are ready to go through the entire criminal process with you. From arrest/investigation to a jury trial, we are here to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

For the first 2 to 5 days after your baby is born, you will make a small amount of colostrum. This is the early, thick, rich milk that is high in nutrients. Colostrum is all a healthy, full-term baby needs in those first few days. Around 3 to 5 days after birth, your milk will come in. But some things may delay your milk from coming in. These include:
Severe stress
Cesarean section (surgical) delivery
Excessive bleeding after birth
Infection or illness with fever
Thyroid conditions
Strict or prolonged bed rest during pregnancy
Milk supply depends on demand, or milk removal, from the breast. The best way to have a good supply is to feed frequently, when your baby shows hunger cues. You may have trouble with delayed or reduced milk production. If that is the case, first take a look at the number and length of your feedings. Make sure that your baby can put their mouth around your nipple and areola to nurse (latch on). Make sure that your baby can transfer milk from your breast. If you are unsure about this, get help from a lactation consultant (breastfeeding specialist).
If you have a delay in your milk coming in, don't give up. Continue to express milk. That means removing milk from your breasts with a breast pump or by hand. Breastfeed often. Do this even if you are supplementing with formula for a few days. Babies who are premature or jaundiced may be more likely to need formula for a short time.
Sometimes a health condition may cause a problem with milk production. It may briefly delay the large increase in milk production that often occurs 3 to 5 days after birth. This may cause a delay in producing large amounts of milk until 7 to 14 days after giving birth. If this happens to you, don't give up. Seek support and guidance from a lactation consultant.
Don't wait to get help if milk supply is ever a concern. The sooner you get help, the better. Many communities have breastfeeding support groups that can be a good resource. Contact your healthcare provider if you are having problems breastfeeding.

Ten things we know to be true
We first wrote these "10 things" when Google was just a few years old. From time to time we revisit this list to see if it still holds true. We hope it does—and you can hold us to that.
1. Focus on the user and all else will follow.
Since the beginning, we've focused on providing the best user experience possible. Whether we're designing a new internet browser or a new tweak to the look of the homepage, we take great care to ensure that they will ultimately serve you, rather than our own internal goal or bottom line. Our homepage interface is clear and simple, and pages load instantly. Placement in search results is never sold to anyone, and advertising is not only clearly marked as such, it offers relevant content and is not distracting. And when we build new tools and applications, we believe they should work so well you don't have to consider how they might have been designed differently.
2. It's best to do one thing really, really well.
We do search. With one of the world's largest research groups focused exclusively on solving search problems, we know what we do well, and how we could do it better. Through continued iteration on difficult problems, we've been able to solve complex issues and provide continuous improvements to a service that already makes finding information a fast and seamless experience for millions of people. Our dedication to improving search helps us apply what we've learned to new products, like Gmail and Google Maps. Our hope is to bring the power of search to previously unexplored areas, and to help people access and use even more of the ever-expanding information in their lives.
3. Fast is better than slow.
We know your time is valuable, so when you're seeking an answer on the web you want it right away–and we aim to please. We may be the only people in the world who can say our goal is to have people leave our website as quickly as possible. By shaving excess bits and bytes from our pages and increasing the efficiency of our serving environment, we've broken our own speed records many times over, so that the average response time on a search result is a fraction of a second. We keep speed in mind with each new product we release, whether it's a mobile application or Google Chrome, a browser designed to be fast enough for the modern web. And we continue to work on making it all go even faster.
4. Democracy on the web works.
Google search works because it relies on the millions of individuals posting links on websites to help determine which other sites offer content of value. We assess the importance of every web page using more than 200 signals and a variety of techniques, including our patented PageRank™ algorithm, which analyzes which sites have been "voted" to be the best sources of information by other pages across the web. As the web gets bigger, this approach actually improves, as each new site is another point of information and another vote to be counted. In the same vein, we are active in open source software development, where innovation takes place through the collective effort of many programmers.
5. You don't need to be at your desk to need an answer.
The world is increasingly mobile: people want access to information wherever they are, whenever they need it. We're pioneering new technologies and offering new solutions for mobile services that help people all over the globe to do any number of tasks on their phone, from checking email and calendar events to watching videos, not to mention the several different ways to access Google search on a phone. In addition, we're hoping to fuel greater innovation for mobile users everywhere with Android, an open source mobile platform free of charge. Android brings the openness that shaped the internet to the mobile world. Not only does Android benefit consumers, who have more choice and innovative new mobile experiences, but it opens up revenue opportunities for carriers, manufacturers and developers.
6. You can make money without doing evil.
Google is a business. The revenue we generate is derived from offering search technology to companies and from the sale of advertising displayed on our site and on other sites across the web. Hundreds of thousands of advertisers worldwide use Google Ads to promote their products; hundreds of thousands of publishers take advantage of our AdSense program to deliver ads relevant to their site content. To ensure that we're ultimately serving all our users (whether they are advertisers or not), we have a set of guiding principles for our advertising programs and practices:
We don't allow ads to be displayed on our results pages unless they are relevant where they are shown. And we firmly believe that ads can provide useful information if, and only if, they are relevant to what you wish to find–so it's possible that certain searches won't lead to any ads at all.
We believe that advertising can be effective without being flashy. We don't accept pop–up advertising, which interferes with your ability to see the content you've requested. We've found that text ads that are relevant to the person reading them draw much higher clickthrough rates than ads appearing randomly. Any advertiser, whether small or large, can take advantage of this highly targeted medium.
Advertising on Google is always clearly identified as a "Sponsored Link," so it does not compromise the integrity of our search results. We never manipulate rankings to put our partners higher in our search results and no one can buy better PageRank. Our users trust our objectivity and no short-term gain could ever justify breaching that trust.
7. There's always more information out there.
Once we'd indexed more of the HTML pages on the internet than any other search service, our engineers turned their attention to information that was not as readily accessible. Sometimes it was just a matter of integrating new databases into search, such as adding a phone number and address lookup and a business directory. Other efforts required a bit more creativity, like adding the ability to search news archives, patents, academic journals, billions of images and millions of books. And our researchers continue looking into ways to bring all the world's information to people seeking answers.
8. The need for information crosses all borders.
Our company was founded in California, but our mission is to facilitate access to information for the entire world, and in every language. To that end, we have offices in more than 60 countries, maintain more than 180 internet domains, and serve more than half of our results to people living outside the United States. We offer Google's search interface in more than 130 languages, offer people the ability to restrict results to content written in their own language, and aim to provide the rest of our applications and products in as many languages and accessible formats as possible. Using our translation tools, people can discover content written on the other side of the world in languages they don't speak. With these tools and the help of volunteer translators, we have been able to greatly improve both the variety and quality of services we can offer in even the most far–flung corners of the globe.
9. You can be serious without a suit.
Our founders built Google around the idea that work should be challenging, and the challenge should be fun. We believe that great, creative things are more likely to happen with the right company culture–and that doesn't just mean lava lamps and rubber balls. There is an emphasis on team achievements and pride in individual accomplishments that contribute to our overall success. We put great stock in our employees–energetic, passionate people from diverse backgrounds with creative approaches to work, play and life. Our atmosphere may be casual, but as new ideas emerge in a café line, at a team meeting or at the gym, they are traded, tested and put into practice with dizzying speed–and they may be the launch pad for a new project destined for worldwide use.
10. Great just isn't good enough.
We see being great at something as a starting point, not an endpoint. We set ourselves goals we know we can't reach yet, because we know that by stretching to meet them we can get further than we expected. Through innovation and iteration, we aim to take things that work well and improve upon them in unexpected ways. For example, when one of our engineers saw that search worked well for properly spelled words, he wondered about how it handled typos. That led him to create an intuitive and more helpful spell checker.
Even if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, finding an answer on the web is our problem, not yours. We try to anticipate needs not yet articulated by our global audience, and meet them with products and services that set new standards. When we launched Gmail, it had more storage space than any email service available. In retrospect offering that seems obvious–but that's because now we have new standards for email storage. Those are the kinds of changes we seek to make, and we're always looking for new places where we can make a difference. Ultimately, our constant dissatisfaction with the way things are becomes the driving force behind everything we do.

From its inception in the early 1970s, the Helsinki process – which includes the original Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), follow-up activities after 1975 and, since 1995, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) – has been a multilateral, politically binding security arrangement. Having successfully addressed the challenges of the Cold War, this arrangement has maintained its relevance in the present era of regional conflict, arms proliferation, terrorism and other emerging threats by combining a uniquely comprehensive definition of security with flexibility and innovation of response.
Defining Security Comprehensively
The first of three chapters of the 1975 Helsinki Final Act, commonly known as Basket I, deals with "Questions Relating to Security in Europe." This chapter first sets forth 10 Principles guiding relations between participating States:
- Principle I: Sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty;
- Principle II: Refraining from the threat or use of force;
- Principle III: Inviolability of frontiers;
- Principle IV: Territorial integrity of States;
- Principle V: Peaceful settlement of disputes;
- Principle VI: Non-intervention in internal affairs;
- Principle VII: Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief;
- Principle VIII: Equal rights and self-determination of peoples;
- Principle IX: Cooperation among States; and
- Principle X: Fulfillment in good faith of obligations under international law.
Some of the principles can be found in earlier international agreements, including the UN Charter, but the "primary significance" which the Final Act gave them all provided a uniquely comprehensive, political-military definition of security, particularly by making respect for human rights and the building of democratic institutions in one participating State a legitimate concern of all others. By committing to apply them "equally and unreservedly," the OSCE also recognized a linkage between progress in one of these areas and progress in the others, a concrete and significant conceptual contribution to European security. The justification for balancing progress was most explicitly stated in the 1990 Charter of Paris for a new Europe, where the participating States expressed their conviction that "in order to strengthen peace and security among [them], the advancement of democracy, and respect for and effective exercise of human rights are indispensable."
Early Soviet proposals for a pan-European conference were designed to manipulate the military balance in Europe, divide the United States from its allies and confirm Soviet hegemony over East-Central Europe. The OSCE's new and unifying definition of security, however, instead formed a basis for ending the Cold War's division of Europe and for recognizing that severe and continual violations of human rights are often the source of a conflict. Democratic development, therefore, was subsequently made a prerequisite for building a stable peace. Participating States today seek to ensure its realization "from Vancouver to Vladivostok" and to give this definition wider application around the globe.
Building Confidence and Security Through Transparency
The Final Act's first chapter also contains specific military commitments which, as developed in subsequent documents, enhance European security in modest but very concrete ways. Confidence- and Security-Building Measures (CSBMs) – such as prior notification of troop maneuvers and observation of military exercises – that form the core of this work on military aspects of security overcame barriers of secrecy and diminished the threat of surprise attack or misunderstanding of military activity.
For a few tense years in the early 1980s, OSCE negotiations were the only place where East and West sat at the same table to discuss security matters. The 1986 Stockholm Document not only achieved progress through measures for greater transparency but ushered in a new era of effective, mutually beneficial East-West arms control encompassing both nuclear and conventional forces. The OSCE capitalized on this success in the 1990s by expanding military openness and encouraging further reductions in force levels. A web of interlocking and mutually reinforcing arms control obligations and commitments links the politically binding Vienna Document of 1999 on CSBMs with the related 1990 Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) and the 1992 Treaty on Open Skies, both legally binding and negotiated on an East-West basis, to form a framework for arms control. Reinforcing the regime of new measures in the Vienna Document 1999 is an updated mechanism for consultation and cooperation regarding unusual military activities.
An Agreement on Adaptation of the CFE Treaty was also signed in 1999, taking into account realities associated with the break-up of the Warsaw Pact and the demise of the Soviet Union. NATO countries, however, have linked ratification of the agreement to Russia's implementation of commitments made in parallel with the 1999 Istanbul OSCE Summit to the withdrawal Treaty-Limited Equipment and military forces from Moldova, and the withdrawal or destruction of excess equipment, the closure of two bases and negotiations on remaining Russian bases and facilities in Georgia. To date, these commitments remain unfulfilled, making it impossible for the Agreement on Adaptation to come into force and for additional OSCE States, including some NATO allies, to become parties.
Maintaining a Security Dialogue
The Forum for Security Cooperation (FSC) was established in 1992 to provide constant attention to implementation of existing arms control agreements, including through regular information exchanges, and to strengthen them when possible. The Forum also encourages a dialogue among the participating States on topics of common concern, such as non-proliferation measures, the importance of adhering to international humanitarian law and civil-military emergency preparedness. The adoption of the 1994 Code of Conduct on Political-Military Aspects of Security, which broke new ground by formulating norms on the role of armed forces in democratic societies, was among the FSC's first notable achievements. The adoption in 2000 of the Document on Small Arms and Light Weapons was a later but even more significant achievement, providing a basis for developing guidelines on dealing with threats such weapons can pose, as well as for providing assistance upon request in securing stockpiles, disposing of small arms and enhancing border controls to reduce illicit arms trafficking.
Security issues are also discussed during the Annual Security Review Conference, the first of which was held in 2003. These conferences provide impetus for bringing new ideas for activity relating to European security into the OSCE framework. Meetings of OSCE foreign ministers and summits of heads of state/government have addressed security issues of paramount concern such as the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them.
Addressing Regional Conflicts
Regional conflicts erupting in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s have been responsible for the most egregious violations of Helsinki principles since their adoption. In response, considerable effort has been devoted by the participating States to developing early warning of potential conflict, offering "good offices" for bringing conflicting parties together, monitoring borders vulnerable to sources of instability and ensuring that sub-regional arms control and security-enhancing measures are adopted and implemented. A good example of the latter were the Article II, Article IV and Article V agreements originally mandated by the Annex 1-B of 1995 Dayton General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, the OSCE has contributed to the training of civilian police in several post-conflict situations.
The need to respond to regional conflicts also required the OSCE to become more than a negotiating forum. OSCE field operations, taking many forms, including efforts by OSCE institutions and designated representatives, began in the early 1990s. Significant among them, especially given the ethnic character of regional tensions, was the establishment of the High Commissioner for National Minorities with a specific task to provide early-warning of potential conflict. Field activities, however, take their most visible form as field missions of various sizes deployed at one time or another in places like Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Chechnya, Georgia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Kosovo and Serbia and Montenegro. Since 1992, the OSCE has had the capability to organize unarmed peacekeeping forces, although the need for more robust operations in conflict areas has precluded serious activity in this regard.
Combating Terrorism
The events of September 11, 2001, galvanized OSCE efforts to combat terrorism. An OSCE Charter on Preventing and Combating Terrorism, adopted in 2002, targeted four strategic areas for specific action: policing, border control, trafficking and money laundering. The Action Against Terrorism Unit established in the OSCE Secretariat provides assistance to participating States, often in field activities along with the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, in strengthening the legal framework for combating terrorism. OSCE efforts have sought to strengthen personal travel and document security as well as transport container security. The OSCE has also broadened the application of export controls on man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS).
The Helsinki Commission's Role
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (the Helsinki Commission) is a U.S. Government agency, established in 1976 pursuant to Public Law 94-304, mandated to "monitor the acts of the signatories which reflect compliance with or violation of the articles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe…" While particular emphasis was given to "provisions relating to Cooperation in Humanitarian fields," today known as the Human Dimension, the Commission also monitors developments regarding the Security Dimension and has similarly sought to encourage greater compliance with commitments adopted by the participating States on the basis of consensus. Activities in recent years have included hearings on combating terrorism and on illegal arms/weapons transfers, briefings on the U.S. chairmanship of the Forum for Security Cooperation and on OSCE police training, as well as attendance at security-related OSCE meetings.

Finding New Buildings in the Dust of the Old
With the continued and growing emphasis on sustainability in construction we could be on the verge of a radical shift in how we think about the current stock of buildings. The time may be coming when we stop planning for building replacement, and instead plan for building reuse. That in turn would significantly change the roles of designers and builders.
How To Build A Construction Plan
Learn how to market your contractor business professionally. In depth knowledge of attracting clients with online marketing strategies and deep thinking about who you want your clients to be.
The housing industry has proceeded at a red-hot pace for several years running. An all-time record was set in 1998, when 886,000 new-site single family homes were sold. That represented a 10% gain from the robust total of 804,000 homes sold in 1997, and an 8.1% rise from the prior record of 819,000 units in 1977. Single-family housing construction accounted for $48 million of the total $125 million generated in the industry.
Construction Honored with AGC Builders
Last night, Construction was honored to accept a Best Builders Award from the Associated General Contractors of Vermont for the construction of the $31.3 million Vermont Public Health Laboratory. There is so much to celebrate about this project – from both a construction and community perspective – and it was so gratifying to have that impact formally recognized in the contracting community.
Construction Forklift Buyers Guide
A forklift used at one construction site might not be the best for another. Specific construction tasks vary, as do weight and size needs. Terrain and environmental factors can make a difference when it comes to the effectiveness of your forklift. A forklift buyers guide like this can help you find the right forklift for your needs.
Build a Wood Fired Clay Oven
Building a wood fired clay oven is a fun project and when you get done you'll have fun using it too. It is however a moderately challenging project. So if you aren't of sound body and mind, get help, or don't do it.

Meat mummies.
It's a word pairing that is, I dare say, pretty rare. Who among us has heard those two words together? What, indeed, could a "meat mummy" be?
Indiana Jones, of course, would have known the answer right away. A meat mummy is a section of animal prepared as if for eating, then bandaged and placed in a sarcophagus by ancient Egyptians. Egyptian royalty, even after death, got hungry. And royalty deserved something more than oats and tubers. Tutankhamun, who died in 1323 B.C., was buried along with 48 carved wooden cases containing joints from poultry and beef.
But here's the rub. How do you prepare meat for a trip into eternity? The human mummies were preserved with special ointments and treatments to make that journey, so maybe the same was done for the victuals.
Well, scientists in England and Egypt recently set out to see if that was indeed the case. They employed high-tech chemical detection equipment to see what kind of residues they could find on what remained of these meat mummies found in Egyptian tombs but, perhaps not surprisingly, long ignored by Egyptologists.
They discovered that ancient Egyptian "meat-packers," if you will, specially prepared meat mummies so they, too, would last as long as possible ... longer, at least, than the few hours in the Egyptian heat that meat normally lasted in those pre-refrigeration days.
The researchers found some meat mummies that were treated and dried with salt. And then they discovered that one meat mummy (beef ribs, sans jus) had apparently been rubbed with "balms" made of pistacia resin — think pistachio tree sap — as well as fat or oil. In other cases, there were chemical residues of what appeared to be beeswax.
Well ... who knew?
Might there be one more swashbuckling archaeologist movie in this? Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Meat Locker? Yummmmm.
Until the movie comes out, you can find out more from the scientific paper published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

I Hate Mapping
When I was younger, I used to spend hours creating intricate maps of both dungeons and wilderness areas -- and I had a lot of fun doing it. Nowadays, I don't enjoy it so much. I don't think it's because of time constraints, as I'm frankly blessed with a very flexible schedule that gives me a lot of free time to invest in creative efforts (like this blog).
Rather, I think it's because, as I got older, I started to realize I'm not an especially good mapmaker and that realization has made the whole process less enjoyable for me. When I say I'm not good, I don't just mean my technical skills, though that is part of it; I mean I'm not very imaginative when it comes to making maps. My own maps lack both flair and, where appropriate, plausibility. They just seem throw-together, which, of course, they frequently are.
That's why, more than the ability to draw, I wish I possessed the ability to make attractive and usable maps. You'd think, in this day of high technology, that there'd be software that'd let me do that easily without having to learn the ins and outs of a stripped-down CAD program. Alas, there isn't or, if there is, I don't know of its existence. And so many of my creative efforts get slowed down due to my inability to produce maps in a timely fashion. Goodness knows Dwimmermount is a little less ambitious than I'd like it to be, owing to my lack of enjoyment when it comes to cartography, which is ironic, given how important the players' mapping of the megadungeon has become to the development of the campaign.
35 comments:
AutoRealm (http://gryc.ws/autorealm.htm) is my go-to map making program. It may not have the depth of more sophisticated CAD programs, but it's got a nice shallow learning curve. (My favorite tool is the one that lets you decide how "fjordy" you want a coastline to be.)
That being said, I don't usually freehand in AutoRealm; I draw my outline map by hand and run the AutoRealm cursor over the outlines.I've been using AUTORealm as well and have been pleased with the results. I do have a cartography specialization as part of my undergrad degree and some experience with GIS, but that has made me love AUTORealm all the more.
I've actually kept my maps simple, using black, white and grayscale. That has made the design easier and it has an antique look to it.There are some neat dungeon generators online. You can start from there if you are lost and then tweak them at your heart's content.
If my memory serves me well Chris Gonnermann, the great guy behind the Basic fantasy RPG, has some kind of free dungeon generator on his website.(www.basicfantasy.org)I couldn't agree with this more. I've tried many different kinds of mapping programs, and at best I can produce a mediocre map. At some level, you just have to have that creative artistic skill to make a truly interesting and inspiring map. It's a skill I just don't have.
This is why I've become a great pilferer of maps. My number one use for printed modules is to steal and re-purpose their maps. There are many modules I own that I have not even tried to read, where I simply stole the map and tossed the rest.
Surprisingly, a good source for these maps is WotC's website. There's a sadly discontinued section called Map-a-Week, which fortunately has archives of its four year lifespan still available.(I wonder if I'm healthy enough to comment. We'll see)
I recognize many of the programs mentioned above, but just like Jim I've found that the magic seem to be missing for me.
What I have realized, though, is that my talent is to take odds and ends and stitch them together. I read good maps and adventure and steal whole cloth a room or a section. Sure the bits are not mine, but how they fit together sure is my dungeon. Sometimes that technique even makes me get a spark of magic. Worth trying.This is an excellent example of a more wide-spread problem with being an adult. It's exactly like saying "I don't draw well, therefore I can't enjoy drawing." I'm not disagreeing--I have the same feeling--but I know that I should resist.
I've learned to enjoy drawing again by drawing for my kids--they think I draw wonderfully (foolish little tykes). So maybe I need to start making maps for them. Hmn.- AnonymousOctober 26, 2009 at 3:55 PM
Try using Google Maps or some other source of realistic-looking maps that have no words on them. Flip or rotate or mirror to disguise the already-obscure landforms and you're ready to go.
ReplyDelete I love writing adventures, but i HATE, HATE, HATE making maps. Like you, I used to love it, but looking back at the maps I did over 20 years ago makes my stomach hurt. They're bad.
However Giga boy's suggestion is a good one, and one that I have followed in the past. The free dungeon generators always give me a great starting point for decent adventure maps.The excitement of mapping out strange new worlds is what got me into D&D in the first place, and I feel very confident in saying that computer programs for mapping are *very* highly overrated. I like to draw most of my maps by hand these days. It's easier for me to put in all the features I want, I don't need to worry about the features being in a particular library, and unless I'm doing something incredibly detailed, its about three times as fast as doing it on a computer. Plus, artist or not, teaching yourself to draw is good clean fun.
There are a couple of reasons why I don't like computer maps, but first and foremost is the barrier to entry. It's very easy for a talented expert to use a computer to produce eye-poppingly beautiful maps. For some rather inspiring examples and lots of fantastic tutorials, you can check out the enormous population of *absurdly* talented individuals at the Cartographers Guild Forums. However, it's very difficult for a novice to produce, well, *anything* half-decent on a computer without an expensive artist's tablet.
MS Paint is easy to use, but drawing nothing but basic shapes and brushes with a mouse is a sure way to end up with something amateurish that looks like a child's scrawl. Campaign Cartographer is relatively easy to use once you get over the AutoCAD learning curve, but frankly, the maps it churns out tend to feel very bland and uniform. Just sketching shapes and slapping down symbols will produce very cookie-cutter maps that lack all of the little individual touches that makes art a satisfying pursuit. If you have ever really used this program, you can easily sniff out a CC map from about a mile away. I can't speak for AutoRealm, as I've never used it, but I would be astonished if it didn't suffer from the same flaw - it's inherent in relying on a small set of premade symbols to make art.
Of course, Photoshop or the GIMP* can make some utterly jaw-dropping full-color maps, with all the personalization of doing it by hand and all the creative power a PC can bring to bear, but by the time you get to the stage where you are skilled enough with layers and textures to do it, you probably don't qualify as an amateur anymore.
*Note*: This isn't saying most people can't master those programs or that it isn't worth doing! The Cartographer's Guild forums has some pretty cool tutorials on the subject that I really can't recommend enough for anyone interested in learning how.
To my mind, though, the cookie cutter problem is the worst thing about PC-aided mapping. Without a significant amount of skill at Photoshoppery, you are relying on the artwork of others to build your stuff. That means that you almost never get an attractive map to come out exactly the way you want it. Maybe their windmill doesn't look quite right, or maybe you pictured the Black Spire just a little differently. Seeing your vision take the wrong shape is a MAJOR turn-off for a lot of creative people.
So yeah. Try your next few maps by hand. I almost guarantee you'll be happier with them.
*: The GIMP is a free, open source Photoshop program, for anyone who don't know. If someone reading this wants to learn Photoshop and can't afford it, GIMP is basically just as good, and well worth your time to play with.Two things in which I have absolutely no talent are drawing and playing music or singing. Nonetheless, I create my own D&D maps using graph paper, hexagonal paper, and colored pens. My maps are improvised affairs, not much to look at, but they are essential to my game. I am into wilderness exploration. D&D would not be D&D without Dungeon exploration. To truly make charcaters come alive, you have to role play everything else as well - going to town, shopping for gear, meeting people, going to country fairs, jousts and parties, making contacts. That's what makes a campaign play, a campaign. Characetrs have to take armor (if they can afford it) off when they go into town. Assassins can and will strike at unarmored characters in taverns. Nobody bothered to take ona jeweler or a gem knowledge NWP and now the players find a gold bracelet with some pinkish-red stones set into soft, crappy looking yellow metal. They take it to a jeweler and he will tell them that its real gold with imitation rubies, worth maybe 50gp due to purity of the gold. Can they believe the old jeweler? Old jeweler stats getting insulted once he sees characters hesitation. 75% of D&D players will act the suckers and will give up a 3-5,000.00 gp bracelet for 50gp. A session can pass wihout combatm but there will be violence and expeditions, and when it come to adventuring, the MAPS are absolute.
Here is why. I believe that there should be an absolute dungeon site and an absilute location. Players can wander forerver and not find it or they can stumble on it, or they can follow the clues in yuor narrative. The Map and the Map Key are the ABSOLUTE SETTING, which give an absolute criterion for the p;layer success - they will either find the adventure site or they WON'T. It's not up the DM's whim, it's ON THE MAP!!!! That makes game OBJECTIVE and WINNABLE as opposed to DM randomly rolling the enocunters so as to indulger him or herself with the thrill of the unknown, which ought to belong strictly to players, the thrill of ghe DM is in laying out narrative for the layers to succeed. The DMs torment is when players miss that secret door and hence miss the lair treasure trove. Small consolation and a waste of DMs work if the players chose to kill and drive away anyone and not bother to do any reaserch into the dungeon site or getting to know its denizens. But whose fault is that? Missd treasue makes game more realistic than a thousand combat hit location tables, and will the DM give in and yell to the players - The secret door is over there! The secret door os over there!Something to consider: if your maps leave you flat and feel uninspired a good solution is to "evolve" the map. For a town, for example, imagine the first settlers of the area. They were probably farmers and needed access to the water, so they will have built buildings within a short walk from a stream or river and had cultivated some land.
Go ahead and sketch that out. Then think about the needs of these residents and add a few buildings to support those who provides those needs. For example, after a few more farmers are in the area, a blacksmith and general store (probably combined) might crop up. These people need somewhere to live as well. Just think about where they would be likely to build and how (say, making the second story a residence over the shop).
Continue in this fashion and a remarkably believable settlement will be built in a fairly short time. Some examples of continuing the idea: as the town expands, a road is worn through the land past it. The tavern/inn will pop up there, probably a bit farther from the water than the original settlers (as they won't make a road through their farm).
Surprisingly this works for dungeons as well. Create some natural caves, thinking about what formed them (lava tubes, water erosion of limestone). Then imagine the kinds of long ago creatures that might make their homes. Some creatures may expand the cave system in various ways. Do so, keeping in mind why they expended the effort and what they used the space form. Evolve the caves as various waves of settlers and abandonment happens, each brining a unique flavor to the system that is being built.
Finally imagine how the current residents use them. How does food get in and out (or is it found internally). Where does water come from, how are wastes disposed of, etc. Being a fantasy world, some of these can be "hand waved away", but the interesting thing is that by thinking of a dungeon as an underground town, a much more interesting system arises.
Overland maps... for that I use computer generation. Too much water flow and geology :-PMaking good maps isn't hard but it takes practice and a lot of repetition. How I learned is by taking a few maps that I liked and simply started copying the topography onto a sheet of paper by hand. Draw noting but trees on one paper, then only do mountains on another, rivers the next. In a short time you'll be able to draw this stuff with your eyes closed.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to use AutoRealm several times over the years, and every time I've been beaten back in retreat. Do not recommend.
My personal favorite was the simple, tile-based MapMaker program that came with the 2E Core Rules CD. It even had 3D walkthroughs. Downsides are that it's out-of-print, hard-to-come-by, and had very limited areas to the maps (20x15 squares or so). I really wish someone had the moral courage to make such a simple tool again.I've used CC3 for a while myself, and I'm pretty pleased with the results: http://rodoflordlymight.blogspot.com/2009/10/joys-of-mapping.html
It does have a bit of a steep learning curve compared to some of the hex-mappers out there, but it's more flexible and, IMHO, makes a much more beautiful and useful map for inspiring the old creative juices.If you make maps like I do, I might have a tool for you.
I make maps by drawing them on graph paper first.
Apparently I'm not too bad at it, as I won the "Best Retro Use of 30x30 Space" in the One Page Dungeon Contest this year.
The dungeon level is here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/15678370/Crypt
You will note that it looks a lot like, well, S1, in terms of layout.
The thing is, I can't use CAD programs either, so what I did was to write a simple little description language and then a Perl program that translated the description into SVG (which Firefox and Safari, at least, can render directly).
Although I did this with a text file, it would be trivial to do in, say, Excel.
The program to generate an SVG map from a description file is at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/15678469/makemappl, and the description file for the sample level (which contains the specification of the description) is at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/15678501/cryptdesc
I found this a very easy way to make a map: basically, you number your rows and columns, and then you just type in the features' grid coordinates.
At the moment, the program only does straight lines and smooth arcs. I think I know *how* to do random crinkly cave-wall kinda things, but I haven't coded it yet, and it will severely bloat the size of the generated SVG file.
Anyhow, I didn't put a license on the map generator, but let's say it's Artistic License 2.0. Feel free to take it, use it, extend it, whatever.
Adam@Delta: I thought AUTORealm was fairly easy, but after I posted my comment I realized that if you are not familiar with cartographic programs, it really isn't easy.
If I were starting from scratch. I would trace the Baltic countries (Latvia, Lithuania, etc) and then flip the map over and use a variety random name generators.
Really, anything that conveys the information that the DM or players need to know is good enough. Darlene's map of the World of Greyhawk has given a whole generation of wannabe cartographers a permanent inferiority complex.- AnonymousOctober 26, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Godeke's comment is essential to some of my favorite dungeon maps, like Caverns of Thracia with its layers of history. A great tool for helping you evolve your maps is Tony Dowler's How to Host a Dungeon - http://planet-thirteen.com/Dungeon.aspx - a solo game of procedural dungeon generation. By playing out successive eras of subterranean settlement, expansion, disaster, and rediscovery, you wind up with maps that have their own organic history built into the architecture. The default mode of the game is a vertical cross-section, which would require some additional mapping to get a traditional horizontal map of each level (but that's the easier part). It'd be reasonably easy to play How to Host a Dungeon with a purely horizontal perspective (although you'd lose some of the lovely layering), or with both a cross-section and a traditional series of grid-maps, so that you would have a D&D-usable map when you were done.
- Tavis This is another reason that I look forward to the publication of Castle Greyhawk and Castle El Raja Key: the maps themselves are wonderfully inspiring, and provide a number of concrete examples of varied designs for a campaign dungeon environment.
Until they are published, you can spend some time with Rob Kuntz's Maure Castle levels published in Dungeons 112, 124, and 139 (as well as in WG5 Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure): the maps in those are comparable in quality and style to the ones from the original castles.
Allan.I always like making dungeon maps because it requires no real artistic effort. Quite often, my artistic time is taken up drawing the PC's portrait. I never really hit myself over the head with how nice it looks, because its just game notes for my eyes only.
Even with my artistic skills and a good understanding of architecture & geography, my head still run a blank from time to time - ether because I cant manifest even the simplest layout, or I'm just over-complicating things. When in doubt, I just think of how it would look if I was going to set it up as a HeroQuest adventure.Andreas: I was thinking generally that those issues were more-contemporary, and therefore folks might be more-likely to already own them (vs. books published in the '70s or '80s).
That said, the maps for both Dungeon #139 and #124 are available on the Paizo downloads pages @ http://paizo.com/dungeon/resources/downloads, although issue 124's maps are not also available there, alas.
Allan.I greatly admired the overground maps for Dwimmermount. I'd say that if you're discerning enough to know when a design is unsatisfactory then you have the basic tools you need to make good maps: it's just a question of practice.
If the problem is visual style, then I say steal - there are lots of map archives online now - Perry-Castaneda, the Bleau Atlas, architectural floorplans. My advice to any designer of anything: build a collection. Invest some time in research, and cast your net as wide as you can: try to surprise yourself with where you look. Soviet town plans, Angkor Wat, Petra, Olympic villages, circuit diagrams, factories, Hillier and Hanson's Space Syntax, Spiro Kostof's History of Architecture (which is a great source for site plans, BTW). Get a really big pile and then mash them up: rescale, jam them together, be a bit irrational, not too careful - and then let your critical eye wander over what you have and save the relationships you like. Last of all, lay a hex or square grid over them and retrace their outlines (this is trivial in photoshop, manageable with a photocopier and diacel). Even if this gives you nothing you use directly, it will probably crystallize your ideas about why it's not serving your needs, and that might be most useful in the end.
My 2d.For me, drawing dungeon maps is by far the hardest and most time consuming part of campaign design -- probably 80% of the time and effort involved in creating a dungeon level goes into drawing the map and everything else is trivially simple by comparison. That said, whenever I finish drawing a map that I'm satisfied with it always feels like a huge accomplishment, and once you've accumulated several it's awfully cool to be able to page through a binder looking at all the dungeon level maps you drew, each of which represents a significant labor of love (with an emphasis on the labor part).
For non-dungeon maps -- wilderness, towns, castles, caves, etc. -- I either shamelessly steal maps from other sources (both game and RL) or just sketch out the rough features and don't worry about the specific details. It's only in the main campaign dungeon-labyrinth where I actually care down to the level of each individual room and each 10' square.
As for the tools I use -- graph paper (4x4, 5x5, 6x6 or 8x8 grid), pencil & eraser, ruler, template, compass, colored pencils. I've never even been tempted to use a computer mapping program.

Exceptions / non-returnable items
At SajhDajh, we offer many different types of sales throughout the year. One type of sale that you may come across is a final sale. Final sales can be a great way to snag a deal, but it's important to understand the rules and restrictions that come with them.
What is a Final Sale?
It's a sale where all purchases are considered final. This means that once you buy something, you can't return or exchange it. Final sales are typically offered on clearance items or end-of-season styles, and they often have a significantly reduced price.
When shopping for a final sale, it's important to keep a few things in mind:
- No returns or exchanges: Remember that all purchases during a final sale are considered final, meaning no returns or exchanges are allowed. So, make sure the item(s) is something you or someone in your friend and family circle will want and that it will fit them.
- Check the sizing: Since you won't be able to exchange the item, it's important to make sure you're buying the right size. Check the sizing chart and read any reviews to get an idea of how the item(s) fits.
- No price adjustments: Final sale items do not qualify for price adjustments or price matches.
- Sales tax: Depending on where you live, sales tax may still be added to the final sale price.
Overall, final sales can be a great way to score a deal on some SajhDajh styles you've had your eye on. So, don't hesitate to share the love and encourage your loved ones to grab some great deals during our final sales! Just make sure you understand the rules and restrictions before making a purchase.
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
We will notify you once we've received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you'll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

We can get back to discussing GOP minority constituent recruitment soon, but in the meantime, we have a fiscal cliff issue that beckons — the real fiscal cliff (America's imminent financial collapse), not the government shutdown molehill everyone is agonizing over.
Congressional Republicans should look at their party's loss in the presidential election as liberating. They surely now understand that the strategy of soft-pedaling Obama's record and agenda doesn't work. They surely grasp that its fear of calling President Obama out on his real intentions and the disastrous consequences of his destructive policies just plays into his hands and enables the advancement of his agenda.
So, how about some bold, straight language from our side? How about telling the American people exactly what Obama is up to? How about drawing a line in the sand right now — before the pseudo "fiscal cliff" negotiations even begin — and announcing there is no point to entering these farcical talks because they don't share the same goals? Republicans want to prevent a national financial collapse, and Obama wants to keep spending and prevent entitlement reform so that he can complete his task of fundamentally transforming America.
Obama is already engaging in doublespeak and deception about his goals in these negotiations, and Republicans, instead of permitting him to control the language and the narrative, should flush his true intentions into the open at the very outset.
Let's start with this fact: Obama doesn't want to raise "revenues." He wants to raise tax rates on the "wealthy," a group that includes tons of people who are not wealthy, and a policy that may well not raise significant revenues anyway. Even if you assume tax hikes on those who provide the lion's share of American jobs won't further suppress economic growth and thus revenues, the amount of money they would generate won't make a dent in our annual deficits, much less our crushing national debt.
So Republicans must assert that Obama's uncompromising demand that we raise taxes on the "wealthy" is not about raising revenue, but redistributing wealth and punishing the rich.
Every honest, informed person knows we cannot bring our budget and debt into balance without major structural entitlement reform and real reductions in discretionary spending.
Here again, Obama has made it very clear he doesn't share the goals of reducing spending and reforming entitlements. He not only refuses to restructure entitlements and seriously reduce discretionary spending (except military), but he's salivating over the prospect of spending (he calls it "investing") any "revenues" the tax hikes generate.
The naked reality is that Obama and his Democratic Party are entering these budget negotiations in bad faith. Republicans must confront Obama, using plainspoken English words as defined in the dictionary. Either he doesn't believe spending and entitlement reforms are essential to balancing the budget and averting a financial collapse, which would make him more obtuse than any president in history, or he doesn't have any intention of addressing our deficit and debt problems. Either way, he has obstructed any serious spending and entitlement reform initiatives for four years and still hasn't put a plan on the table. It's imperative that we conclude he is going to use all his power to prevent such actions going forward.
On those rare occasions when Obama is forced to discuss entitlement reform, he demagogues and lies about alleged reductions in entitlement benefits to the middle class and seniors that would occur under Republican plans. But we have no choice but to institute and manage a reform plan on our own terms, such as Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity, which does in fact preserve benefits for the most vulnerable groups and causes as little pain to others as possible. Otherwise, our exploding expenditures are going to force reform upon us the hard way, with an ugly Grecian-style financial collapse that will make 2008 look like child's play and show us what real pain is.
If the GOP acts forcefully and boldly, it may still prevent this collapse. But if not, when we are hurtling toward the Earth together, we can do so knowing we did all we could to save this great nation for our children. Or we can reminisce about how the GOP again pulled its punches for fear of looking mean-spirited or because they, too, didn't believe their own rhetoric or possess the courage of their convictions.
Before Republicans reenter this process of what are sure to be futile negotiations, please let them put their case before the American people and force Obama to explain his actual intentions. It's time to have this out and to force a sober national assessment of where we are and where we're going.
Out in the open, perhaps we can discover whether a majority of Americans truly share Obama's goal of obstructing spending and entitlement reform and thus destroying America's future. The rest of us have a right to know.

Remarkable Time-Lapse Video Shows How Women Are Made to Look Impossibly Beautiful [VIDEO]
Beauty is in the eye of the Photoshopper.
This 37-second ideo offers a time-lapsed look into how a seemingly ordinary woman is made up to become beautiful and glamorous. It's a reminder that the images of beauty portrayed by the media are perpetuated by airbrushing and not representative of most women.
The video has been around since 2012, but only recently went viral after Upworthy user Laura Willard posted it on the site.
She said, "I want to show my daughter, over and over, why the images of so many women she sees aren't realistic. And what I really want is for us to stop turning beautiful women into drawings and passing them off as real."
