Fan Report from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: New Attack Scene Added for Movie, MoreDH Film
Today we have a report from the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Two long time Harry Potter fans and readers of TLC were able to visit the set at Leavesden where filming is ongoing for the final installment of the Harry Potter film series. While there, they were able to see some of the sets used in past Harry Potter films as well as see the new ones and learn more details about the upcoming Deathly Hallows.
UPDATE ONE: The full blog post for this has now been removed, sorry folks! UPDATE TWO: Via his official Twitter, actor Tom Felton has indicated that he is "waiting to go on set...all harnessed up (lycra on!) " The harness is most likely for the dramatic events in the Room of Requirement.
Notable from the report (and as indicated by multiple other sources previously) was confirmation that yes indeed Bill and Fleur's wedding scenes are being recorded all this week, complete with one of the Weasleys spotted wearing a bandage over his ear and Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley) was seen sporting prosthetic scars on the left side of his face. Exciting too is news that the double for Xenophilius Lovegood was wearing "mustard colored corduroys, a pale shirt with a yellow waist coat over the top that was covered in flowers and shoulder length blondish-white hair."
Also of interest to fans contained in the report are the following:
Scenes with 'lots of Goblins' are about to be filmed;
A prop of Aragog is being used as model for bigger larger spiders in DH (presumably for Battle of Hogwarts);
A glimpse of the sculpted bust of Rowena Ravenclaw and the diadem perched atop her head. "Stunningly beautiful detail!"
Photos were seen of Ron turning into Reg Cattermole. The report says "From the looks of this, they will actually be putting very realistic prosthetic makeup on Rupert. In the final stage makeup picture of him, you would not recognize him as Rupert.
Photos and sculptures of Dan's hexed makeup where he's hexed to hide his identity from the Snatchers. This looks amazing! The right side of his face is all lumpy and deformed. It's hard to see Dan under this makeup.
Part of the Seven Potters is being filmed on the Privet Drive set at Leavesden. The report also points out that "from what we were told, it sounded as if they will use makeup on the actors to make them look like Dan, at least for some part of the scene".
Grimmauld Place set, currently used as Baker Street for the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film is being repainted for use again in DH.
The Lovegood house set complete with Dirigible plums (bright orange plants) growing outside, is built with a stone base with "the right side of the house pitted with holes where Death Eater spells had hit (squib explosions)" The report also states that "they were prepping the house again for a much bigger version of that fight, apparently. They were adding even more squibs for the new fight."
Giant hedges (15 feet tall or more) and two large, stone pillars flanking either side of the entrance adorn the exterior of one of the Malfoy Manor sets. There is also word that there are white peacocks in the animal section of the set.
There is an Animatronic Hog's head that is used in front of the pub, with the pub set open for cameras and more from recent filming.
The Room of Requirement filming is also underway, with two doubles recently who "were perched atop one of the stacks of furniture and rigged into a harness." (probably for the Flight/Fiendfyre squence).
Finally of particular interest is word that there is another new attack sequence, minor and not contained in the book by J.K. Rowling, has been added to the film to showcase the ongoing war. The report says "It appeared to be a bunch of burned trailers / mobile homes. Apparently in this scene, Harry and Hermione show up at this camp site only to find that the Death Eaters have already attacked and destroyed some of the trailers."
Thanks so much to Chris and Maria for sharing their visit with us!

Posted in The Science of Wine
The next time you pick up a glass of Cabernet, you might stop and think about the science that went into producing that fine wine. You will if you were one of the nearly 500 guests that attended The Science of Wine on May 14, 2011. Sommeliers, casual wine lovers and "newbies" alike enjoyed a variety of wines paired with samples from local restaurants.
In an event that was described by guests as "uniquely the Science Center", sampling was complimented by seminars and workshops intended to create a better understanding of how wine is produced. Proceeds from the inaugural event will support the Science Center's mission "To Inspire Science Learning for Life".

My first apology must go to Kristen SpiegelBerg of Wausau.
At least thats how her name was spelled in the race results for the Jamison Kampmeyer Memorial 10K, held in my hometown of Colby on July 20. I suspect that the name should be Kristen Spiegel Berg, as it was listed in online phone directories when I tried to call her and personally say Im sorry for what happened at the race. (I did not get in touch with her, however. The number I dialed was disconnected.)
It wasnt my intention to compete in the Female 40 to 49 category of the race. I know, I know, youve heard all this before. Excuses when it comes to sports and cheating are wide ranging and imaginative. The test results were invalid because the sample handler stopped at his home on the way to the lab. The meat was tainted. My hormones are messed up because my twin died in the womb. Ive never failed a drug test.
But the fact is, Im not exactly sure how I cheated and was able to take third place, edging out Kristen for a trophy. (For the record, I do not have the trophy.) All I know is that my name showed up in the female results, much to the delight of my high school friend and sometime training partner Pete.
Take a picture of that and send it to me, he said, between guffaws. I was puzzled by the slip-up, but didnt say anything to race officials because, well, because Pete said there was beer at his place. It wasnt until later that I realized that my reputation as a clean (except for beer) competitor was on the line and that Kristen might be out an award that is rightfully hers.
A controversy like this sprung up on the international track scene in 2009 at the World Championships in Berlin, when South Africas Caster Semenya won the 800-meter race in record time. I was watching that race and was baffled by and suspicious of Semenyas physique. Her muscles bulged like a body builders, which in turn led me to think about steroids. You know, because all body builders use steroids.
Instead, the international athletic community questioned her gender. She could not be a woman, the outcry said, and we, and poor Semenya, were subject to embarrassing headlines and stories that brought up the issue of hermaphroditism. It was an ugly debacle.
Semenya was cleared and went on to compete in the London Olympics.
I might have mistakenly ticked the Female box when I filled out my entry form. Or there was just some other mishap or clerical error along the way. Id rather not go through a battery of gender tests, because I fear what might be found. Ill just go back to being a guy, age 40-49, and forgo medals and trophies.
At any rate, I apologize again. But finishing third is pretty cool.

2014-2015 Enrollment Continues
The Burnham Wood Family of High Performing Schools continues to accept enrollment for the 2014-2015 School Year to all residents of El Paso County. The schools, Da Vinci School for Science & the Arts, Howard Burnham Elementary School, and Vista del Futuro Elementary School, will be hosting Open Houses throughout the Spring and Summer Months.
Next year, the Vista del Futuro Elementary School will add a sixth grade. According to Superintendent, Iris Burnham, many parents have expressed an interest in their children attending a small, high performing 6th grade rather than sending them to a large, overwhelming middle school.
The Da Vinci School for Science and the Arts serves grades 5-12.This outstanding STEAM Academy(Emphasizing science, technology, engineering, arts and math) has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top high schools in the nation!
Your child can attend our schools. There is no tuition. These are public, charter schools. Give your student an opportunity to achieve in a world class learning environment. Applications are available here as well as at any of the school offices. Join us for an Open House to learn more about the schools and get a tour! Our next Open House will be at Howard Burnham Elementary on July 30th at 5:30pm, at the Da Vinci School for Science and the Arts on August 6th at 5:30pm and at Vista del Futuro Elementary on August 6th at 5:00pm!
Superintendent's Message
It's Sweet Sixteen for the El Paso Education Initiative, Inc.
Having completed our Quincenera year (2012-2013) our schools have met the challenges laid before them with success. All of our campuses have met AYP (Average Yearly Progress). Vista del Futuro, our relatively new elementary campus on the Eastside of El Paso, received distinctions in Reading, Math and Progress. On the new and unfamiliar state assessments (STAAR) all schools demonstrated high performance in the reading and math areas. Of particular note are the exceptionally high passing rates on the various End of Course tests our Da Vinci students earned. We must also mention that 100% of our eleventh graders taking the TAKS Exit tests passed all Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies components.
While we do not want to teach to a test, we recognize the reality of being judged by how well our students perform on these new instruments. Our strategy has been to conduct several benchmark tests throughout the year, so we can track each student's progress and monitor those who need more assistance. Working with testing data has refined teachers' instruction and prevented students from falling through the cracks. With the support of our parents and the cooperation and the acceptance by our students, we came out on top!
Nevertheless, our teachers have not turned away from the enrichment activities, as well as the project based learning activities that make school so much fun. In addition, we have added a number of clubs and opportunities for students to be creative and excel in areas such as Lego robotics, Suzuki violin, Latin, Piano, Student Council, and much more. Along with these new activities are competitions that have brought our teams awards and recognition. Consequently we have had invitations to travel to regional and state level contests, particularly in robotics and engineering. Unfortunately these opportunities require extensive fundraising that often place a burden on our families' budgets and the students' time. For these reasons, we must reach out to the greater community and tell them about the wonderful opportunities our charter schools are offering El Paso children free of charge. We need them to partner up with our campuses in order to lend the extra support that helps us shine and compete.
As we enter our sixteenth year, we hope to light those celebratory candles so that our community will be drawn to the accomplishments of this small, nonprofit organization, and will join us as Advisory Board members and generous donors to the many worthwhile projects we hope to execute. For example our new robot is waiting for a name and a sponsor. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to put the name for an El Paso business/donor on our student designed robot that is destined, as they have in the past, to travel to the Dallas Regionals and play its little wires out in some soon to be revealed competition?
What about our talented and enthusiastic performers who desire nothing more than to find venues where they might display their music, dance and art? Then there are our Da Vinci high school students looking for community internships that will spark their career interests and hopefully keep them in El Paso after they complete their education. How many businesses are out there that will see the light of those sixteen candles and open their hearts to them? We are hopeful and excited for the outcomes.
El Paso Education Initiative Inc.- a 501c3 nonprofit organization- is the charter holder for three high performing, public, charter schools – Howard Burnham Elementary, Da Vinci School for Science and the Arts, and Vista del Futuro Elementary. We are committed to providing our students with the best education in a nurturing, safe environment.
Our mission is to work in solid partnership with the family and community in order to prepare children to accept responsibility for their own learning. We offer students a framework that encourages lifelong learning through skills building, creativity, a sense of self-worth, and ethical values necessary to survive and grow in an ever-changing, diverse, global, society.
We provide a rigorous, integrated curriculum with an Arts, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) focus. This model allows students the necessary time to develop intellectually, socially, and artistically. Classes are small and our teachers promote a personalized learning environment that advances our core values: respect, responsibility, quality of self and work. Instruction includes:
- Phonics-Based Reading Program
- Self-Paced and Mastery-Based Instruction
- Cooperative Learning
- Enrichment Programs
- Pre AP & Advanced Placement Courses in MiddleSchool and High School
- Optional Suzuki Violin and Piano lessons
- Double Math Periods
- Robotics and Engineering
- Graphic Design and Media
- Dual High School and College Credit
- Community Service and Internships Performing Arts classes: guitar, strings, band, dance, choir
- Visual Arts
"My eight year-old daughter has been playing the violin for three years now thanks to the Suzuki Violin program that the school offers starting in Kinder. It is so rewarding to see my daughter advancing academically and musically! " – Melodya Salaices

In order to achieve and maintain dramatic skin care results, you must use high quality, proven skin care on a consistent basis. Through the Auto-Ship system, customers can designate a specific time interval (such as every 30, 60, 90 days) to receive their favorite skin care products. As a further value incentive, Apothica.com gives a 10% discount off the initial product order and 20% off each subsequent automatic shipment.
Creating your Auto Ship Account
An Automatic Shipment is set up on your account with Apothica.com when you complete an initial standard order that includes items designated for Automatic Shipment.
After you have set up an Automatic Shipment you will be able to view all your order information from the "My Account" area. From this area you will be able to view your order details, remove recurring products, change product quantities, change the schedule of shipments, update the next shipment date, and change billing/shipping information.
Once you have completed your order, you will be able to access your Auto Ship account to view details, remove items, change quantity and frequency, adjust the next shipment date, edit your shipping and billing address, and update your credit card information.
Each Auto Ship item must be assigned to a quantity and frequency of shipment schedule. Certain products are excluded from the Auto Ship program. Please refer to the individual product pages for more information. The initial order will be discounted 10% off its current price and each subsequent automatic shipment will be discounted 20% off its current price. These discounts are only available on qualified products. Discounts may vary.
Automatic Shipment Procedures and Notifications
If you wish to select two products to automatically ship and both products will be shipping within seven days of each other, these products will be grouped and shipped together in a single package. They will ship on the earlier of the two original ship dates.
The option is available from your account management page to receive a notice five days before your automatic shipment is processed. Receiving this reminder allows you to make any changes to your order before it is processed.
You will be contacted if any of the products associated with your order are out of stock or discontinued. You will also receive a notification if there are any problems processing your credit card.
Managing Your Automatic Shipment Settings Credit cards are the only method of payment allowed on orders containing products set-up for Automatic Shipment. Payments for automatically shipped products will include the cost of the product, the cost of shipping, and all applicable taxes.
Your credit card information will be stored securely with your account profile and will be billed every time an automatic shipment related to your account is processed. These shipments will be processed based on the settings chosen by the customer.
All billing and shipping addresses used on automatic shipments will be stored with your customer account. These addresses are available for edits on your account profile page.
New automatic shipments can be created by designating products for Automatic Shipment during the standard checkout process, or by contacting our customer service representatives. The new automatic shipment will take the credit card information used at checkout and save that information for all future instances of automatic fulfillment in relation to that product.
Canceling Your Automatic Shipments
In order to cancel an automatic shipment you will need to complete one of two processes.
- Option A: Access your customer account area and remove all automatic shipments from your automatic shipment management area.

PHILADELPHIA -- Major League Baseball announced on Tuesday that rookie second baseman Freddy Galvis, who has impressed both the organization and fans with his brilliant defense and on-field smarts, has been suspended 50 games for testing positive for a metabolite of Clostebol, a performance-enhancing substance, in violation of MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The suspension began on Tuesday, even with Galvis on the disabled list with a fracture in his back that likely would have had him sidelined for the next 50 games anyway.
Galvis claimed innocence in a statement:
"A trace amount of a banned substance -- 80 parts in a trillion -- was detected in my urine sample," Galvis said. "I am extremely disappointed in what has transpired. I cannot understand how even this tiny particle of a banned substance got into my body. I have not and never would knowingly use anything illegal to enhance my performance. I have always tried to follow the team's strength and conditioning methods, listen to the trainers, work out hard and eat right. Unfortunately, the rules are the rules, and I will be suspended.
"I'd like to apologize to all my fans, especially here in Philadelphia and back home in Venezuela, to my teammates and to the Phillies organization. I am looking forward to putting this behind me, rehabilitating my back and returning to the Phillies as soon as possible to try to help them win another World Series."
He later said on Twitter: "Sometimes life isn't fair... But that's the way it is... You have to keep moving forward and turn the page."
The Phillies released a statement of their own.
"The Phillies continue to believe in and endorse Major League Baseball's drug policy. We also support Freddy Galvis in his determination to put this matter behind him and we look forward to his return as a productive member of the Phillies as soon as possible."
Galvis was hitting only .226 with 15 doubles, one triple, three home runs, 24 RBIs and a .617 on-base plus slugging percentage in 58 games before he went on the DL on June 6. He doesn't fit the mold of the typical bulked-up power hitter, but he credited increased strength over the past year or so for his improved performance at the plate.
Galvis never hit higher than .240 with a .588 OPS in the Minor Leagues before he hit a combined .278 with a .716 OPS with Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season.
"It's disappointing," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said before Tuesday's series opener against the Rockies at Citizens Bank Park. "We fully support the program and the decision. At the same time, we support the player. We just want him to get healthy and get back onto the field for us. ... We believe in the kid. I believe in him. I think he's still got a great future for us moving forward."
Asked if he believes Galvis' claim of innocence in mentioning the 80 parts in a trillion found in his system, Amaro said, "I don't know anything about those numbers. It's kind of foreign to me. As I said, I support the player. I can't really comment on it, because I don't know much about it."
Amaro added that Galvis is "disappointed."

you asked for it - a shrink art tutorial
You will also need to gather: plain brown kraft paper, good quality craft scissors, manicure scissors, nail clippers, a clean cookie sheet, a single hole punch and some clear (top coat) nail polish (I like Sally Hansen brand best). You will also need access to a computer with photo-editing software like Photoshop and a colour inkjet printer.
Browse the internet for the images you would like to use as charms... or you may have photos of your own. Whatever you like. For this project, Loopy and I visited Photobucket for a plethora of Juicy Couture images to turn into theme charms for the party. Click and save the images you like onto your desktop. Open a new document measuring 8 inches wide and 10 inches high (check the document size if you have a different brand of shrink art material).
Using layers, drag and drop the images into your new document... now keep in mind that you will be shrinking these images so make them about 40 - 50% larger than you would expect them to be when finished... you will have to eyeball this. I have a general rule of thumb that most charms fit four across and five down on the document page.
.The next step is very important, and you can do it in one of two ways. The saturation of the images needs to be reduced significantly... the reason made perfect sense when The Secret Weapon explained it to me:
You see, the shrink art material is actually specially stretched or somewhat "extruded" plastic. When you expose it to heat, it wants to shrink back to its original size. Therefore, if you don't reduce the intensity of the colour you will end up with a pretty dark and not very pretty image when it shrinks. Some images will just look like a black, smudgy inky mess. I usually reduce my saturation by 50 - 60% depending on the original image and how much dark pigment is in it.
You can reduce the saturation by clicking "Image" on the menu and selecting "adjustments" and then "hue and saturation". Click on saturation and use the tool in the dialogue box to reduce the saturation. It's that simple.
Otherwise, some printers have the option in the print queue to reduce the saturation before you send the document to print. This will also work.
* Before printing, ensure that you load your paper feeder so that you will be printing on the correct side. It is the side that has a slight texture and emulsion on it that will allow the plastic to "grab" the ink and prepare for shrinking. The correct side will appear slightly scaley or look like it has little ripples. It's easy to determine which is the wrong side, it will appear completely white, pristine and glossy.
After you print your pages, allow them to dry completely before handling. This might take up to ten minutes if you have saturated colours or black details.
Time to carefully cut out each of your charms. I like to use manicure scissors for the little details that some images have, but most of the cutting can be done nicely with smooth, sharp paper scissors.
It is also very important at this point to punch a hole into the shrink material BEFORE you bake the charms. After baking, the material is just too hard to punch and you will snap the charms into pieces. Trust me on this. A regular hole punch will do the trick - be sure you leave a good amount around the perimiter of the hole so your charm is sturdy.
Now, line your cookie sheet with the brown paper. Make sure it is flat and smooth and doesn't have folds and wrinkles in it. Lay your charms on the paper leaving ample space between each piece.
Your oven should be preheated to 275 degrees F, or whatever your package instructions indicate. Set your oven timer for five minutes and pop those bad boys onto the middle rack of the oven.At this point, be prepared to have a mild freak-out. Your charms will behave like Mexican jumping beans and pop-pop and flip over, turning into all sorts of shapes resembling exotic flowers, footwear and avante-garde ceramics.
Resist the temptation to open the oven and manipulate them with your hands. The oven needs to be at a constant temperature... you'll just have to trust me and leave them be.
You might want to avoid hovering and get your oven mitts ready and locate a nice spatula. Pace the kitchen and check the progress occasionally. Feel free at this point to phone the craftiest person that you know and express your feelings of anxiety and ask for reassurance... it will all work out.
Before you know it, you will look into the oven and the charms will be flat. After the final charm unfolds to its perfectly flattened stage, keep the tray in the oven for another 15 seconds... this ensures that the charms will be completely hardened when they cool.
Immediately after removing the charms from the oven, I like to use my metal spatula to lightly "flatten" each piece of plastic while it is still slightly warm. If there is any slight bend in the charm, this will take care of it.
Allow your charms to completely cool on the brown paper. Gently slide them onto the cool countertop or a flat surface.
I like to place the charms on a piece of the silicone parchment paper from the Dollarama... because the next step is to seal the printed side of the charm with at least one coat of clear nail polish, and that stuff won't stick to the silicone parchment. When the nail polish is still wet, you can sprinkle super-fine glitter to the charms for added sparkle.
When the nail polish is cured, you can add jump rings through the nice little holes (see how they shrunk?) and your charms are ready to use! You are now only limited by your imagination and the cost of the shrink-art material.

When I read the Shrinky Dinks thing it reminded me of those people that we used to draw in school using stencils where they had the giant heads and you could make them into whatever they want. Then I realized that Shrinky Dinks have nothing to do with charms so it had to be different haha. I've never even heard of those shrinky dinks though so this was pretty interesting to read. If I ever need to make charms you can definitely bet I'll be coming back here to reread this.

AUBURN, Calif. — CleanFlixxx, a Netflix-style Christian film download service which offers the latest in family-friendly entertainment, has failed to attract customers and is struggling to figure out why.
"Maybe it's our business model," says CEO Kyle Montane. "We're perplexed."
CleanFlixxx debuted last year under the motto "Penetrating the Darkness," but thus far has failed to connect with consumers.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — On their wedding night after Kayley Jurgensen rolled over and went to sleep, husband Jordy took to Facebook and wrote a detailed, glowing review of his first-time experience for his ministry buddies.

LAWRENCE, Mass. — Obeline Biron has been a Red Sox fan for almost 100 years.
One of her first vivid memories of the Red Sox is when they won the World Series in 1918.
"That's when I really became a fan. We all celebrated. It was a great time," the 107-year-old said. She was just 12 years old at the time.
If the Red Sox defeat the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 or 7 at Fenway, it will be the first time they have won the World Series at home since 1918.
Biron said she has been a die-hard fan ever since then, through all the good, bad and the ugly.
"There was a long period where they didn't win, but I was always a fan. I grew up with them," she said. "You could say a number and I would tell you the player's name. I knew everyone for years. I can't do that anymore."
When the Red Sox finally won in 2004 after 86 years of never being champions, Biron was elated.
"Oh, I was dancing around with everyone," she laughed. "It was amazing."
Biron has seen the Red Sox, Fenway Park and Major League Baseball change through the years.
She got to see the first African-American to be allowed into the major league, Jackie Robinson, play in person.
"He was a great guy and a great player," she recalls.
Biron has a superstition that if the Red Sox score in the first inning, they will win. She also has another tactic to help out her favorite team.
"I pray wicked hard for them," she said.
Brown writes for The Eagle Tribune in North Andover, Mass.

The Washington Post
An increasing number of lawsuits have been filed across Japan against department stores that allowed unusual purchases to be made by elderly people with dementia.
In April, the Tokyo District Court ordered a Tokyo department store to refund to a woman about 2.4 million yen (about $25,300) for clothes she bought over one year, during a 4 1/2-year period in which she bought a total of about 11 million yen in such products.
The ruling recognized that some of the sales agreements between the 78-year-old woman and the store were made after she developed dementia.
The woman, who lives alone in Tokyo, filed the lawsuit against Tokyu department store's Toyoko store at JR Shibuya Station in Tokyo. She bought 280 clothing items at a boutique in the store since 2006.
Her 70-year-old brother, who lives separately from her, said he realized something was wrong when he saw her wearing an odd combination of a jacket and skirt at their relative's funeral in June 2010. He then visited her home and found a room full of unopened shirts and jackets. "I was totally taken back to see that," he said.
In August that year, a hospital diagnosed the woman as "suffering from Alzheimers-related dementia," according to the hospital. "It's believed she started showing symptoms about five years ago."
Although the brother explained her condition to the department store, and asked them to stop selling her products, they ignored his request. He became her guardian in May 2011 and filed a lawsuit against the store in February 2012, seeking about 11 million yen.
According to evidence submitted to the court, the woman visited the store almost every week, buying such items as jackets and shirts. Some months she spent more than 500,000 yen, and she bought the same products several times.
She also bought health food worth 20,000 yen from a salesclerk, even though the product was unrelated to the boutique, according to evidence.
On April 26 this year, Judge Norio Kojima included in the ruling part of the demanded refund for all the products she bought. "The claim that she developed her dementia five years ago was a doctor's opinion, which is not definitive," he said.
However, he added, "Since August 2009 when she bought three of the same product, it was clear that she was suffering from dementia and unable to form rational judgments."
Kojima ordered the department store to refund about 2.4 million yen for clothes the woman bought over one year since August 2009. The sentence has since been finalized.
The younger brother said: "As my sister obviously purchased the clothes in an abnormal way, I'm sure shop clerks noticed that she had dementia."
Tokyu department store opposed the ruling, saying: "It's not unusual that customers of a boutique repeatedly buy expensive products. The refund we were ordered to give was for the period when we didn't know she had dementia," a store official said.
"We can't tell our customers, 'We're unable to sell you products because you have dementia.' However, we'll carefully handle such matters when we're asked not to sell products," the official added.
There have been similar cases across the country in which customers with dementia have made unusual purchases.
In 2005, an elderly woman with dementia bought kimonos and other clothing valued at about 6.4 million yen from a Osaka department store. She filed a lawsuit with the Osaka District Court, seeking a full refund.
In 2012, an elderly woman with dementia who bought about 18 million yen in clothing and other items filed a lawsuit against a department store in Hamamatsu. In both cases, the parties involved reached a settlement.
The National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan said it had received inquiries in three other similar cases since 2011.
According to the Japan Department Stores Association, the industry has no standard guidelines on how to deal with customers that suffer from dementia. The association said while it realizes there is a problem, its hands are tied.
"If we decided not to sell products to people suffering from a certain disease, it would become a human rights issue. Our only choice is to sell products to customers who want to buy them," an association official said.
Yasuhiro Akanuma, a lawyer who is familiar with issues facing elderly people, said salesclerks should give consideration to people who make unusual purchases.
"People with dementia tend to frequently visit shops where they are treated nicely by clerks and end up purchasing unnecessary things. Salesclerks must realize eventually if a customer suffers dementia. However, I presume they give priority to sales, so they continue to sell them products," he said.
"If a person with dementia has an adult guardian, a sales contract can be canceled later even for expensive clothes. I want families involved to consider using the adult guardian system," he added.

Helping Could Hurt
The average American has at one time or another lent their cell phone to another person who needed to make a call usually friends or relatives, but sometimes strangers.
Think twice before you lend your smart phone to strangers. With moments they could access personal or financial information without you noticing, especially since smart phones have become easier and more convenient to use than ever. If you do lend your phone to another person, pay attention to what they do, or consider asking for the phone number so you can dial it yourself. Limit access to your phone so you can limit unauthorized access to your online banking services.

Syrian Refugee Families - Help Now
Help Syrian families forced to flee their homes.
Now in the third year of conflict, intense fighting in Syria has driven millions of refugees to seek safety in neighboring countries, often escaping the violence on foot in the dark of night. Families find themselves in crowded refugee camps in foreign countries with nothing except the clothes on their backs. And children make up over half of the refugee population.
No one knows when these refugees will be able to return to their homes. Mercy Corps is providing emergency aid, clean water, food, and supplies to families living in refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon, as well as educational supplies for the children.
You can help. Your donation provides aid to families in need during this crisis.
Report From The Field
by Cassandra Nelson,
Director, Multimedia Projects, Mercy Corps
Leena (not her real name) fled Syria with her husband and young son after their home was destroyed in an aerial attack.
I met Leena in the Za'atari refugee camp, near Jordan's northwest border with Syria. In a dusty tent glowing with the light of the harsh desert sun, her 18-month-old son, Raed, reached for her, though she couldn't pick him up over her pregnant belly—she's due with her second child in just six weeks.
Leena (who asked me not to use her last name for fear of reprisals if she returns to Syria) had fled her home in Syria three weeks earlier with her husband and son after their home was destroyed in an aerial attack. Thankfully, no one was home when the house was bombed.
They had to escape in the night to avoid detection. The trip to the Jordanian border is very dangerous and many refugees have been shot at while taking flight from their homes. She told me they only brought the clothes they were wearing. They couldn't carry anything else with them.
Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. Mercy Corps works amid disasters, conflicts, chronic poverty and instability to unleash the potential of people who can win against nearly impossible odds. Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided $1.5 billion in assistance to people in 106 nations.

A suspected drunk driver slammed into a Detroit bike shop. It was all caught on camera. However, it's what the driver and her passengers did after the crash that has everyone talking."Can't be drinking and driving and crashing into bike shops," said Dalton Cooper.Especially while surveillance cameras are rolling. It happened at Bike Tech on Detroit's east side early Thursday morning.Video shows a truck and a sedan driving east on Warren towards the shop. The sedan makes a turn, but the truck not so much. A guy inside the truck bails out leaving two others to clean up the mess. The women dressed to party try to move the truck, taking turns pushing it and appear to be freaking out, but the truck wouldn't budge. One tries to ditch what appears to be a box of beers behind a bush, but her buddy clearly thought leaving the truck was more than enough."Hiding their beer, tossing their beer cans all over the place," Cooper said. "They obviously wanted to get away from what they did."Cooper got the call from the alarm company and made it to the shop just minutes after the trio took off, but the truck itself is more than enough evidence. The plate led to a home nearby, and neighbors seemed to recognize the women caught on tape. So it's only a matter of time before the driver gets busted for leaving behind more than $10,000 worth of damage."They obviously need to turn themselves in. If not, I'm sure they'll get caught," Cooper said.
