Each night, I'm generating five sets of maps for Australia, and now also for New Zealand, plus the OSM extract files for both countries
I have changed the bounding area of each map for the Australia set, so there is now no overlap between maps, so routing should be improved
However, this means that if you are in Western Queenland (specifically west of the NSW border), or in northern Victoria, you will have to get the NT or NSW maps respectively. Australia just doesn't divide into nice little squares easily...
Lastly, I'm now generating the overview and TDB files for each set (see the relevant Overview package download) as a few people have requested them
OpenStreetMap Garmin IMG Files Australia
This is the main set of Australian maps based on the OpenStreetMap data
OpenStreetMap Garmin IMG Files New Zealand
This is the main set of New Zealand maps based on the OpenStreetMap data
OpenStreetMap Australia Extract
For people who want to play around with the source data. The extract should now be refreshing every night at about 3am AEST (assuming I don't turn my computer off)
OpenStreetMap New Zealand Extract
Same as above, but for New Zealand.
2 Kilometre Zoom Set (Australia)
This is a custom set of Garmin files that I use when mapping missing roads out in rural areas. They have the zoom levels altered so all road types are visible at the 2km zoom level. The reason for these maps exist is because last weekend I felt very smug with myself mapping some of the unmapped parts of the Brisbane ranges (based on what I could see wasn't mapped on my GPS), only to discover when I got home that it had already been done. It turned out that my GPS did show those roads already mapped, but they weren't visible until you zoomed in to 120m, and I had the GPS zoom set to about 1.2km (which is far more useful a level when you are driving in sparsely populated areas).
2 Kilometre Zoom Set (New Zealand)
Same as above, but for New Zealand.
Cycle Set (Australia)
Bike track focused maps with the bike tracks given prominence over roads.
Cycle Set (New Zealand)
Same as above, but for New Zealand.
Routable Set (Australia)
Routable Garmin maps. These are still under heavy development, but seem pretty good so far. There's still a bunch of issue kicking around though - turn restrictions, searching and the like - that will get fixed over the coming months
Routable Set (New Zealand)
Same as above, but for New Zealand.
No Name Set (Australia)
Maps where any streets that do not have a name are highlighted. Excellent for doing clean up work in a given area.
No Name Set (New Zealand)
Same as above, but for New Zealand.

HAMILTON CITY >> Human remains found over the weekend near the shore of the Sacramento River are bones from a lower body extremity, the Glenn County Sheriff's Office stated in a press release this morning
The skeletal remains were found Saturday afternoon in about 10 inches of clear water by the son of an off-duty Fish and Wildlife warden, according to the press release. Warden Steve Martignoni was kayaking with his son on the Sacramento River, south of Hamilton City, when his son decided to take a break, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Martignoni's son, whose age was not available, noticed something in the shallows and informed his father. The item appeared to be skeletal remains of a human, and Martignoni reported it to the Glenn County Sheriff's Office.
Before deputies arrived, Martignoni searched the shoreline where the remains were found to attempt to find more evidence, but nothing was found. Investigators processed the scene and the remains were taken to a mortuary, according to the press release.
According to the Sheriff's Office, indicators show it is not a native artifact, which are sometimes found along the bank of the river.
The partial bones will be examined by the Sheriff's Office forensic pathologist and Chico State University's Human Identification Laboratory to try to determine whether the bones belong to a male or female, if the person was an adult or juvenile, and to get an approximate age and race.
Information gained will be matched against the descriptions of people reported missing.
The Sheriff's Office does not yet know how long the remains were in the water, where they came from or a cause of death.
Anyone who may have information regarding this case is asked to call the Glenn County Sheriff's Office at 934-6441.
The last time human remains were found in Glenn County along the Sacramento River where near Ord Bend Park on July 2012. The remains were identified by DNA verification on October 2012 as those of Heidi Joanne Ring. Ring was reported missing in 2005. Her case is ongoing.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority (CBP) says information about patients "is there for the taking" at some Dutch pharmacies, Dutchnews.nl reports. In a study of 15 public and private organisations, the CBP found that local authorities and amusement parks are also vulnerable. "We were shocked by the results," said CBP Chairman Jacob Kohnstamm. "The most simple rules for good security are not being followed." Nine investigations are still ongoing, but the CBP said the organisations it looked at did not use secure website addresses or protect passwords properly.

Lulu loses no opportunity to impress
You'd expect a fashion designer to wear something out of the ordinary for public appearances.
And accessories guru Lulu Guinness didn't disappoint when she arrived at this week's 2014 Red Magazine Women of the Year Awards.
Bag designer Guinness turned up wearing black tights , pointy silver shoes and a striking black dress ensemble with chiffon sleeves and floral motifs.
The ceremony, held at Central London's prestigious Ham Yard Hotel on Wednesday, honoured some of the leading women from all walks of life who are helping to shape the world.
Categories included sections for charity and community, blogging, creativity, digital, media, pioneers and women to watch among others.
The attendees included Dragons Den's Kelly Hoppen, actress Camilla Rutherford, and news broadcaster Kirsty Wark.
Nominees included perfumer and fashion designer Bella Freud, dementia researcher Selina Wray, screenwriter Kelly Marcel, campaigning comedienne Francesca Martinez, and bloggers Laurie Penny, Niamh Shields and Carrie Barclay.

Is class of 2014 the best dressed ever?
New students are putting their best foot forward - being dubbed history's best dressed new university intake.
From sporty socks to fashionable patterned or black tights , from stockings to comfortable leggings , September's freshers are putting on the style from their feet up.
In fact, they're splashing the cash like never before, according to a new survey on university fashion.
The poll finds that over one in four students are arriving at uni for the first time with wardrobes valued in excess of £2,000.
This totally turns on its head the age-old stereotype of university-goers wearing ageing boots, scruffy T-shirts and jeans, and jumpers in need of darning.
More than a quarter (28%) say they are heading off to campus with designer brands in their suitcase - with the highlights to be unleashed on the world during Freshers' Week festivities. Around 7% expect to arrive with clothes worth a total of under £500, while 83% claim there is pressure to create good first impressions with what they wear.
Johnny Tuxedo, the dinner suit and tuxedo specialist, carried out the research.

Union Jacks loud and proud at Gleneagles
British golf fans showed off their colours as Europe beat the United States to claim another Ryder Cup win.
Union Jack socks were among the patriotic items worn by the thousands of supporters at Gleneagles in Scotland over the weekend, while flags were draped over shoulders and faces were painted blue, red and white.
Led by captain Paul McGinley, the European players - themselves sporting blue and white clothing - brushed aside their transatlantic opponents 16½-11½ to make it eight wins out of the last 10 Ryder Cups.
Welsh rookie Jamie Donaldson beat Keegan Bradley 4&3 to take Europe to the 14½ needed to win the Cup outright, having led 10-6 going into the final day on Sunday, to spark jubilant celebrations in the crowd gathered around the 15th green.
The players, including the likes of Rory McIlroy, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, also celebrated long into the night.

Serena Williams makes fashion week debut
Serena Williams has ditched her racket in favour of the catwalk.
The tennis ace, fresh from her triumph at the US Open, recently showed off her spring 2015 collection at New York Fashion Week.
A sleeveless long sweatshirt with the letter "S" on the front and leopard print leggings were among the new outfits on display.
Other attire included zipped, slinky mini-dresses, open run, faux fur jackets and jersey-knit dresses.
Fashion icon Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue, was watching from the front row, as were a host of big names such as supermodel Beverly Johnson, actor Boris Kodjoe and comedian Marlon Wayans.
Williams is no stranger to the world of fashion, having made the industry her bit on the side for a number of years, and the fact that Wintour chose to attend her runway debut at the esteemed event shows she has most definitely arrived.
A rapturous round of applause met the 32-year-old as she took to the stage at the end of the show.

Tight-spot Fielding spotted in tights
Ghost-hunter Yvette Fielding is used to finding herself in tight spots in the pursuit of the paranormal.
But she recently found herself spotted in black tights for the star-studded UKTV Live showcase at a prestigious London gallery.
Most Haunted presenter Fielding, 45, wore a distinctly monochrome outfit at last week's event at Howick Gallery.
The black-and-white thigh-high combo couldn't quite steal the show for the former Blue Peter hostess, however.
For larger-than-live US celebrity David Hasselhoff was also in attendance. The former Baywatch star had the audience in stitches with an impersonation of John Cleese doing his Monty Python silly walks.
But celebrity watchers from The Mail thought Hasselhoff was himself upstaged by a Welsh girlfriend reportedly 28 years his junior, Hayley Roberts.
TV naturalist, Life on Earth legend David Attenborough was also in attendance. Sir David, 88, staged an informative Q&A session.
Wildlife presenter Nigel Marven appeared with a vibrant, exotic-looking panther chameleon.

But this week's spectacular Tom Ford spring/summer womenswear collection was just that - if the catwalk is anything to go by.

In fact, you could say that ebony and ivory were in perfect harmony during day four of London Fashion Week's five-day festival of style on Monday.
Ford is also a big name in the movie world as a director, so it wasn't a complete surprise that Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper was spotted among the famous faces taking in the new line.
The 39-year-old Philadelphia-born American Hustle, American Sniper, Serena and The Words star has won world's sexiest man gongs in past polls.
But on Monday Cooper was content to keep a low profile sat alongside Anna Wintour, Vogue's editor-in-chief for the US.

"The factory already has a proud history of producing high quality water for consumers across Great Britain."

Synth-pop queen Lauren Mayberry helped to make the atmosphere even more electric during the weekend's Bestival four-day concert.
The 25-year-old Stirling-born Chvrches lead singer was entertaining The Big Top's enthralled audience on Sunday.
She wore an understated look, donning her best black tights as a ballast against the changing of the seasons.
She also wore a dark T-shirt at the popular Downend venue on the outskirts of Newport on the Isle of Wight.
The Glasgow-based Team, Falling and Tightrope three-piece band transformed the Robin Hill theme park into a riot of sound and energy.
Mayberry twiddled on her samplers and synthesisers as well as lending lead vocals.
Other stars of the 55,000-capacity feel-good festival included OutKast, La Roux, Beck, Sam Smith, Lethal Bizzle and Chic.
Chvrches finished in a list of top five most promising music acts compiled by the BBC last year. The band also featured in the Commonwealth Games' opening video recently.

Fashion tights loved best of all at Bestival
Wild Beasts, OutKast, Chic, Beck, Caribou ... they all were there at the weekend.
But Bestival has been just as much about the battle of the footwear as the battle of the bands during the four-day music jamboree.
Tights , such an important fashion staple of the summer, seemed to just about shade it from ankle socks .
These colourful revellers certainly show the wide spectrum of footwear on display at the Isle of Wight festival with tights' versatility once again to the fore.
The tights didn't just extend to the audience, however. Chvrches' lead singer Lauren Mayberry could also be seen sporting them on Sunday.
Party-goers breathed a sigh of relief that they didn't have to get their wellies out for Glastonbury-style monsoons.
Instead, the 55,000-capacity venue at the popular Robin Hill theme park in Downend, near Newport, Isle of Wight, rocked to the sound of some spectacular music to fair weather.
Lethal Bizzle, La Roux and Sam Smith were other stand-out performers.

This Anchor And Meteorologist Seem To Hate Each Other [Video]

Former Ms. Pennsylvania and anchor Nicole Brewer and her meteorologist colleague Carol Erickson are shown below in a compilation of some of their best on-air passive-aggressive moments. Of course, a statement from the station says it's all being blown out of proportion.
"Carol and Nicole are professional broadcasters who have great respect for each other and happen to be the closest of colleagues — both inside and outside the office."
Yeah, whatever. We'll just go on assuming that they hate each other. That's much more fun.

But amnesty is not the only issue Graham is making a name for himself these days. Less than 12 hours after police had captured Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and many more hours before Tsarnaev even had the capacity to talk, Graham issued a joint statement with McCain demanding that the Obama administration ignore Tsarnaev's Constitutional rights and treat him as an enemy combatant:
"The accused perpetrators of these acts were not common criminals attempting to profit from a criminal enterprise, but terrorists trying to injure, maim, and kill innocent Americans. The suspect, based upon his actions, clearly is a good candidate for enemy combatant status."
Why is it that the two Republican senators so eager to give citizenship away are also the two Republicans senators so eager to ignore its protections?

London, Sept 15 (ANI): Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney came back from a horrific injury to help his club beat Crystal Palace 2-0, giving new manager David Moyes his first win at Old Trafford.
According to The Daily Star, Rooney defied a gashed head to return to the United side earlier than expected and nine minutes from time he superbly curled home a free-kick after substitute Adnan Januzaj, 18, had been tripped by Adlene Guedioura.
That guaranteed Moyes' landmark victory after failing previously to win at Old Trafford in the league in 11 attempts with Everton and one with United, the report said.
Moyes had faced a difficult decision on whether to play Rooney, who wore a headband to protect his injury from a training ground incident, the report added.
The manager said that Rooney scored a great free-kick and even went for a couple of headers, adding that he was a bit tired towards the end but he wanted to give him 90 minutes with a big week coming up.
Moyes said that the player's head had healed better than expected and he had trained really hard.
Palace had their mid-fielder Kaigisho Dikgacoi sent-off for a challenge on Ashley Young before halftime, after which Robin Van Persie scored from a penalty to give United the lead. (ANI)

Kristen Stewart Tops 'Forbes' Highest Paid Actress List
Well maybe this will give her something to smile about (finally!): Kristen Stewart has topped this year's Top list of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. Homie say what?! I know! But it makes sense when you get into the details. Regardless of hers (or anyone's) opinions of the Twilight film series, Stewart made herself indespensible in a worldwide mega-blockbuster films. That means, when movies two and three rolled around, she was able to ask a pretty penny for her turn as Bella Swan, clumsy lover of sparkly vampires. And let's be serious: at this point, no one else could play the part. If the studio tried to replace her, they'd have worse than the press to answer to, they'd have to answer to the twihards, which is way more intense of a firing squad.
So this means she was able to pull in a reported $12.5 million for the next two films — the same as the male leads Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner —on top of the money she made from Snow White and the Huntsman. Which put her at the top of the Twilight heap, financially, and also made her the youngest lady on the list by at least sixteen years. It's rumored that Kristen Stewart made $34.5 million in the last year. (Hopefully someone is totally splurging on a new pair of Converses this weekend!)
The movie industry is no different than most in America, though, where women are still paid less than men. The ten actresses who made up the list earned $200 million combined, compared to the $361 million brought in by the top ten dudes.
The other ladies on the list include Cameron Diaz at No. 2 with $34 million, Sandra Bullock at No. 3 with $25 million, Angelina Jolie at No. 4 with $20 million, and Charlize Theron at No. 5 with $18 million.
What do you think of this list? Are you surprised by any of the ladies included (or not included)? What do you think Kristen Stewart should do with that sweet $34.5 million? That sure is a lot of money to… sink your teeth into, har har har! Should I ask her to borrow a couple thousand? Do you think she'd mind? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

In 2011, I did my first and last session of laser hair removal on my upper lip. After, I noticed a discoloration. The skin is now a darker pigment and the discoloration is uneven. I was told that this could be related to an topical acne cream I was trying at the time. I stopped using the acne cream in advance of the session though. However, I'm still dealing with it 2 years later. It gets darker when I'm out in the sun regardless of using sunblock. How can I get rid of this? Please help!
Upper Lip Discoloration As a Result of Laser Hair Removal?
Doctor Answers 4
Your upper lip discoloration after laser hair removal may be improved.
Upper lip brownish discoloration may occur after any laser procedure, especially if your skin is olive or darker. It's referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
If you want to improve this, you must use SPF30 or higher every day. You may also consult a dermatologist for evaluation for a bleaching cream like hydroquinone. Sometimes hydroquinone is used in conjunction with topical retinoic acid.
Hope this is helpful for you.

Upper lip is darker after laser hair removal - post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after laser hair removal
Sometimes laser treatments can result in darkening of pigment, which is called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. You can definitely help it with the treatments suggested here - retinoids, hydroquinone, and sunscreen. All of this will definitely help. You can also visit a VERY experienced office with lasers. Even though it seems counter-intuitive, retreating that area very carefully with the right laser, can also help break up that pigment and get it to sluff out of the skin. We do a lot of laser repair work in my office like this for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Discoloration of lip after laser hair removal
One of the most effective (and least expensive) ways to reverse facial hyperpigmentation such as yours is by using a combination of two prescription strength medications: 4% hydroquinone and tretinoin cream. Prescription strength 4% hydroquinone is better than any OTC product for lightening dark spots in the skin. Combining prescription-only tretinoin cream with hydroquinone will make it even more effective. These dark spots are made worse by sun damage so daily use of sunscreens is essential in your treatment. I recommend the Obagi Nu-Derm System which uses both tretinoin cream and hydroquinone to treat hyperpigmentation as well as the fine lines and wrinkles that are due to chronic sun exposure.

It may be possible to improve this discoloration with a prescription skin lightening treatment regimen. If that does not work, it may require a more aggressive fractionated laser treatment or chemical peels. Good luck in your area.

WATSONVILLE -- Poverty, crime, corruption and religious conflict plague the West African country of Nigeria.
To improve society in Africa's most populous country, schools must nourish the spirit as well as the mind, Nigerian educator Emmanuel Ivorgba told students at Mount Madonna School on Monday.
"If we don't do something different, this is the government and society we are going to have," Ivorgba said. "We are taking the first steps, one step at a time."
Ivorgba is the founder of the Creative Minds International Academy in Jos, Nigeria, a school, like Mount Madonna, dedicated to promoting academic excellence, positive values and creative thinking. Students at both schools have worked together on an ethics curriculum, and Mount Madonna students and families have donated funds and computers to the Nigerian school.
Through his school, Ivorgba hopes to create a generation that will not only have the intellectual wherewithal to lead Nigeria, but also the "love" to put the welfare of its people first.
"We are offering something not offered by other schools, the kind of education that is values-based," Ivorgba said.
Ivorgba said he was inspired after listening to the Dalai Lama to find a way to contribute to his country. Among many roles he plays in charitable and religious circles, he is a global ethics coordinator for the Dalai Lama Foundation and the Africa program director of Project Happiness, an education program supported by the Dalai Lama.
He is touring the United States to promote the film "Project Happiness," in which he appears.
In his country, Ivorgba said, education is largely by rote and narrow in scope. Teachers copy texts onto chalkboards; students copy lessons line by line into notebooks for memorization. By the time a chemist graduates from college, he has learned little of other disciplines.
The focus is on preparing people for jobs, not for life, Ivorgba said. The result is leaders who don't understand the "affective domain," he said, tapping his heart.
"Everything is to get the job and money to have the good life," he said. "We really think money is the thing, but our society is not getting better. We have more crime and increasing poverty."
Change isn't easy and quick, Ivorgba said. He talked of the use of corporal punishment, a widespread cultural practice. He abolished it at his school in favor of counseling, but had to relent in the face of parental opposition. He said he's taking a more gradual approach to making a change now.
"Our school is very young," Ivorgba said. "We are building a foundation. That is the dream. That is the vision, and we are working on that."
Mount Madonna senior Brooke Staveland said at this point in her life, as she searches for a way to make a difference, Ivorgba's story is inspiring.
"He has found his purpose," she said. "In some way, he is helping the world."

Traverse City, MI, United States, 2008/10/10 - Real Tour Vision releases the newest of their line of virtual tour hardware/software solutions for immersive interactive virtual tours.
Real Tour Vision (RTV) today announced the release of their newest 360 virtual tour system, the RTV Rotator-Mini. This newest addition to their line of proprietary, calibrated virtual tour hardware and software solutions is engineered with the same precision as their full size virtual tour hardware packages. Their unique process involves Variable Controlled Stitching technology which controls more variables throughout the image capture and photo stitching process than other available options available on the market today.
Jason LaVanture, Vice President of RTV stated, We are excited to release the Rotator-Mini this month. Now more than ever, real estate agents and local virtual tour business owners need economical solutions to remain competitive without sacrificing the quality of their services or their business image. The addition of the Rotator-Mini allows both our in-house and full service virtual tour providers to offer the same high quality virtual tours as our complete builder kit and at a fraction of the cost. In the nine years that RTV has been in business this is one of those moments that you look back on and say, 'that was a game changer'!"
According to the website, the new Rotator-Mini panoramic tripod head provides uncompromised quality for virtual tours and panoramic VR. The evenly spaced and level photos taken with the Rotator-Mini produce beautiful interactive panoramas quickly and effortlessly. This small pano head is engineered specifically for lightweight point and shoot digital cameras and weighs in at less than 2 lbs. Combined with RTV software, the Rotator-Mini enables real estate agents and virtual tour providers to turn digital photography into immersive interactive virtual tours at an economical price.
RTV (realtourvision.com) is also offering an upgrade program to replace the now discontinued 360 stick. Real estate agents that wish to upgrade to the Rotator-Mini may contact RTV at 866-947-8687 ext 410 for reduced upgrade pricing. Because of the compact size, the Rotator-Mini may not be compatible with many larger digital SLR cameras; however interested parties are encouraged to contact RTV for other available options.

We deserve better. We've just begun to recover from what has been described as campaign season. Thank heaven there was finally an election.
The campaigns were pretty much transparent, consisting of never ending and increasingly annoying battles of offensive maneuvering, intended to cast dirt on the opponent, hoping of course, that at least a slight coating might stick. After all, our politicians and their team mates have made image demolition an art form.
In fact, candidates from bottom to top spend more time telling well-spun tales about their opponent than selling their own merits. Fortunately for our candidates, truth is not an issue. Neither is honesty or self-respect. Indeed, most of this crop of candidates apparently missed the turn leading to the high road.
Our political system has become a den full of career self-servers who spend the majority of their time getting elected and then re-elected, time that could be spent solving problems and reading what it is they are voting on.
We deserve the opportunity to vote for leadership and vision, not the choice of a candidate we dislike the least. We deserve better.
If that's not bad enough, the following act is even more disgusting. Picture this: a large group of men and women disguised as public servants, assembled in glorious halls of governance, seemingly eager to solve real problems and provide real leadership. But in reality, leadership, problem solving and thoughtful governance take a back seat to more important things like posturing, pointing fingers, worrying about re-election, and all the rest.
Wouldn't we really be in a fix if every worker could simply ignore the work he or she was hired to do? Just think, where but here can a group of career public servants in high places award themselves for self-described hard work while condemning other citizens, including public employees, claiming them to be overpaid and over-benefited. Only here I suspect.
We deserve better.

By Kayla Hedman '14 / Champlain College News
Upon returning from spring break, first-year students are eager to plan their first summers in Burlington, sophomores are organizing their study abroad adventures for next fall, juniors are more than ready to be seniors, and the big dogs are applying for jobs, hearing back from graduate schools, and preparing for commencement on May 3. At this stage in the game, rather than being productive, many seniors are losing their motivation and blaming it on "senioritis." Not to worry, senioritis is very common and can be treatable.
Senior management of creative media major David Pictor even shared on his Facebook, "I just have SO much to do and just don't want to do ANY of it. Senioritis is real guys."
We're here for you David, but have you considered that this might be more severe than senioritis?
At this point in time, many seniors' senioritis has progressed on to become "graduitis," also known as Post-traumatic Spring Break Disorder (PTSBD).
If you think that you or someone you know may be suffering from graduitis, please view our WebCC page about graduitis HERE.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
'Encouragement' gifts for bride are over the top, so just decline
Bridesmaid-zilla?: As a bridesmaid in my future sister-in-law's wedding, I just got an e-mail from the maid of honor assigning me certain dates on which to send the bride gifts (trinkets? a bottle of wine? who knows?) to "encourage her." I'm buying a dress, dying shoes to match, traveling for the wedding and no doubt shelling out for a bachelorette party. Am I being a Grinch, or is this over the top?
Also — the whole "encouragement" thing rubs me the wrong way. You're marrying the love of your life, then having a party with everyone you love; this sounds like a good deal to me; "encouragement" implies that this is a struggle to be gotten through. She's getting married, not running a marathon or going through chemo.
(I have in fact done both those things — the chemo while planning my own wedding. And I didn't insist on six months of weekly gifts from my bridesmaids. Sheesh.)
So, two questions I guess: (1) Am I overreacting, or is this actually reasonable?; And, (2) If it is over the top, is there any way I can say so without totally offending everyone, or do I just suck it up?
Carolyn: (1) There is nothing reasonable about this request.
(2) Please respond to the maid of honor that "encouragement" implies that the bride is going through something terrible, and that if this is so, you'd like to help in some more significant way. (The dyed-to-match shoes suggest an emerging tragedy, but that's between us.)
If she responds in earnest that all is well and the gifts are just about showing the bride love, then please say clearly that you're going to decline — no reflection on the bride, you just have other priorities for your discretionary spending.
By the way — I can't tell if you're genuinely puzzled or just baiting me to say horrible things about wedding excess, but even knowing it might be the latter, it seems I can't help myself.
How to track down what to spend on a 'nice' wedding
Washington: My daughter is recently engaged … a happy occasion! Now how do we decide how much we are willing to spend on the wedding? We have adequate means but are generally frugal. So many weddings seem to be such huge extravaganzas.
We don't know how to start thinking about what might be reasonable or necessary for a "nice" wedding.
Carolyn: I suggest sitting down and putting together a rough idea of what you'd consider a "nice" wedding — location, number of guests, heavy hors d'oeuvres/buffet/sit-down meal, DJ vs. live music, etc. Then, make a few calls and/or go online and gather some information on pricing.
If you just wing it, then the location you regard as simple and nice might seem like a few thousand dollars in your mind, but be $15,000 in reality — and so you'll believe you're giving your daughter a fair budget for "nice" when really it will buy her 20 guests in a public park.
Not that there's anything wrong with 20 guests in a public park — just that what you think you're giving should match what you really are giving.

The judge ruled on a multi-state lawsuit filed in opposition to Obama's immigration plan.

Mayor Eric Garcetti, right, and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson spoke Thursday at the Los Angeles Central Library, in advance of the Feb. 18 kickoff of the Obama administration's executive immigration plan. Garcetti said the city is committing resources toward assisting immigrants who seek to apply. Librarians will be trained to provide information to those seeking temporary legal status and work permits.
Los Angeles public libraries want to be free information centers for immigrants seeking temporary legal status under President Obama's executive plan.
City libraries have for a couple of years had "Citizenship Corners," where people can obtain information about applying for U.S. citizenship. Now, librarians are being trained to help guide immigrants through the process of applying for deportation protection and work permits.
Library officials said immigrants will be able to go the city's 73 libraries for details on where and how to apply. They'll also be able to look up applications online, attend informational forums, and get referrals to legal help.
It's part of a broader city effort to assist immigrants, Mayor Eric Garcetti said Thursday.
Speaking at the Los Angeles Central Library, Garcetti that the city has committed about $10 million in city resources to help implement the federal plan. He said that will be matched by another $10 million from foundations and nonprofits.

The first and so far only Asian-American to hold a council seat, Michael Woo, did so more than two decades ago.
There is diverse mix of candidates running in the March 3 primary: There are a dozen women, and Latinos are well-represented. Some are children of immigrant parents, or immigrants themselves — the same holds true for some current council members.
But there are still only three Asian-Americans, including one candidate of Mexican and Japanese descent.

With U.S. gasoline prices at an all-time high, having climbed in fits and starts for five years, the logical results appear to be finally showing up in lower gasoline consumption and a distaste for large cars and light trucks. According to a report in the May 5 issue of Business Week, the number of vehicles on the roads dropped 1.4 percent last year, and gasoline consumption is expected to dip 0.7 percent this year. Sales of SUVs and pickup trucks plummeted 27 percent in the first quarter of 2008, with total auto sales down 8 percent.
Will oil and gasoline prices continue to trend upward and stay there, or is the current situation just a blip? That is the question. If high prices are here to stay, then of course those who immediately replace their big cars with smaller ones will come out ahead of the game, and those automakers who anticipate that behavior will be the winners. Ford Motor, which reported a surprisingly large first-quarter profit last week, is among those betting that high prices are here to stay, says Business Week.
Ironically, if gasoline prices stay in the stratosphere, the United States may be off the hook when it comes to the atmosphere. Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that if one wanted to halve carbon emissions from the U.S. automotive sectorâ''enough to get the country into step with international efforts to reduce greenhouse gasesâ''gasoline prices would have to double from their average levels of the past few years, which have been around $2.50. That calculus underlay a blue-ribbon report sponsored by Princetonâ''s Woodrow Wilson School last year, which recommended increasing gasoline prices by $2.50 per gallon over a period of 10 years--in effect doubling the gasoline price as a matter of policy.
Of course that's a far cry from any policy being discussed out on the campaign trails. McCain, joined by Clinton, has proposed suspending the Federal gasoline tax of 18.4 cents for the summer months, to help out drivers and give the economy a little boost. Obama has dismissed the idea as ineffectual.
If however market forces were allowed to drive the gasoline price to $5, and American consumers started to believe it was really going to stay that high, thenâ''arguably!â''policy wouldnâ''t be necessary. Over time, if econometric studies are to be believed, American drivers would spontaneously use half as much gasoline and emit half as much carbon.
