Dear HP community,My hp laptop started shutting down suddenly with no warning or blue screen whatsoever, when it doe, I try to turn it back on but it tartar up for just a second for the light t turn on and then shuts down and I have to unplug it and wait a w seconds to turn it back on again and sometimes it takes even longer.The weird things is I can go to the recovery page by clicking escape and then f2 and run whatever tests I want without it shutting down, I tried all the tests but they fail duo to the memory module, I tried replacing both my RAMs with no availI gave it to a computer shop and they did the following:Changed RAMChanged the hard disksChanged the coolerChanged the fanChanged the laptop coverThey gave me the last solution of changing the motherboard but that would cost too much and I don't really think the problem is that big.Please help
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
New update: for the first time, laptop turned off in the BIOS screen after running some tests...

if you have cooling problems, then you know how to fix it already, provide better cooling.
My PC shuts down all of a sudden all the time(Up to like 5 times now). There's no warning, and no blue screen. It just shuts down and then starts back up again instantly.
Also, i have gotten 2 Blue Screen errors, and 1 incident where the lsass.exe process terminated suddenly and started the "shutdown -s -t 60 -c"Dont remember the message"" command at the login screen. All within 2 hours.
And right now my computer just lost all sound, which means its probbably about to shut down again.
I restored my computer 2 days ago, and havent installed much since then. It was suggested that one of my 3 RAM sticks had gone bad. But when i opened my PC, i couldnt figure out how to take the RAM sticks out.
Why is it doing this?
Hi, I've a problem. My pc sometimes shuts down suddenly and without any reasonable cause. It happens in various moments and I don't see the reapetibility of the situation.
Can it be caused from an insufficient power supply?
I've attached the system file zipped.
Hi there everybody. Lately I've built up my own computer. I am kind of expert so there shouldn't be any nab problem like mounting something wrong or placing wrong cables in wrong places but I have this problem. My pc runs very smoothly and powerful but after a period of gaming (like 1 hour of gtaV) my pc suddenly shuts down. It gives me no warning at all. I checked the temps and they all seems to be normal when the power off happens, so I think it couldn't be an over heating problem. This happens only when I "make things hard" let's say. The first days that this happened the AI software told me there was low voltage but now that doesn't happen anymore. But that's strange assuming I have a KCAS 600w.
My specs:
Mother: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
cpu: AMD FX 8320E 3.2->5GHz 8 core
GPU: AMD SAPPHIRE Dual-X R9 270X
Ram: 4GbKingstone+8GbKingstone
PSU: KCAS 600w
Cooling: Freezer 7 Pro rev 2
Help please, that's my struggle since 7 months
I kept it monitored until the shutdown and on the AI software I saw that there was low voltage on the 2v and the 12 one.
How is it possible? I have 600 w and it should be enough
I recently had a serious Adware attack. Fortunately, with the help of Hijackthis and this forum, I was able to stop all the annoying pop-ups, but ever since my IE will suddenly shut down while I am browsing the web. I'm lucky I got to type this whole message.
Any advice on how to resolve this problem?
Firewall?Blue screen msgs?(could be Windows Protection Measure)tho it will tell
you usually"IE has caused a fault in xxxx & will shut down";Could also be a F/W
defense.Is OE functioning OK?A possible Kernal32 error(also reported usually); a
problem with your ISP(disconnection /time out);do you have call waiting?);is this
random or after set time?;is it possible the sites visited are restricted to members;
Is IE fully updated(IE 6?).If no error messages display,do full scan with everything
& run scandisk in thorough mode;# your advanced settings,restore defaults &
get back to us.
This problem started a week ago.
When the pc shut down i can`t turn it on right away (nothing happens), so i have to unplug the power cord for about 10 secs to turn it back
i thought the problem was processor overheated, so i bought termal paste, now temps are good, arround 39C IDLE and 55 under heavy load.
so, i don`t know why my pc keep shutting down suddenly.
(i have pc specs in my sing, if you do need any other info just let me know)
i really appreciate your help, i`ll be waiting your answer, thank you.
I experienced something similar a few years back on an older rig, it turned out to be the PSU was dying might well be the same thing on your system.
I am running windows 7 on this laptop which I bought back in April 2010. Just 30 minutes ago, my laptop suddenly shutdown without warning or whatsoever, and upon rebooting, it hung while loading windows. I tried running startup repair but nothing was found. I restarted another time and managed to get into Windows 7.
Could it be a failing motherboard?
Thanks for responses.

Hey guys! Was wondering if you can help. I am trying to play gears of war and it stops working right in the middle of me starting it up. It would play for a while load up and the game will stop working and the program closes. I tried installing it and running it as admin. Installed reinstalled the game and directX still nothing. Any course of action you can recommend would be appreciated.
i had the same problem, the only way i could get it to work was to use a no cd /dvd patch, hope this helps
Read other 8 answersMy notebook computer has suddenly shut off three times today.
This has never happened before, except during times of cpu intensive activities,
such as video transcoding, where it has overheated.
...Then I bought a nice expensive cooling pad and it has never suddenly shut off since (until now).
The notebook did not feel that hot after any of the three times it shut off today,
and the cooling pad was turned on the last two times.
How can I figure out what the problem is?
We can also check the memory and Hard drive .....
Bad memory will cause system shut down...
for memory you can use Memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/
or Microsoft Memory test http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
and also bad sector on HD may casue that also...
For checking HD you can fellow http://www.sonexpc.com/support/how/1/0001
my HP Paviliion 22z was one month old. I was using it and all of a sudden it shuts off. no warning message. I thought it's a power cord connection problem. but after I look carefully, no connection issue. I pressed the power button, it started and everything looked ok. However, this happens more and more often. It is less than 2 months old, as of today. no sign of slowing down or any problem using it. it just shuts down right away. looks like there is a power failure. but when i press the power button, it turns on and works just fine. lost the data I worked on. Very annoying. Anyway to fix it?
It's under warranty. Let HP fix it. Do not tamper with it and make an issue worse.
Read other 1 answersLately, my computer has been shutting itself off suddenly, followed by a loud high-pitched constant tone, which lasts until I turn the power off on the power supply. When I turn the computer back on, I get a blue screen that says there was an error and the system has been shut down. If I leave it off for about 10 minutes and turn it back on, it will come on fine, but eventually shut off again. A friend of mine mentioned that this may be a motherboard issue, so I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks.
My computer is having issues and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. Lately it's had this problem with just suddenly shutting off, especially when I'm playing a game. It will do it maybe once every day or every other day.
I turned off the hyper-threading function on the P4 and that stopped it for a couple of weeks but now its started up again.
Once it just suddenly restarted itself, but 99% of the time it will just shut off.
Every time it shuts off, I have to unplug it, wait for a couple of seconds then plug it back in. A couple of seconds after I plug it back in it will power up again on its own.
I'm not sure if it's the ram, power supply, software or what. What could be the most likely culprit?
Thanks and let me know if you need more details.
Sometimes my laptop suddenly shuts itself down, as if i´d just cut the power.
This usually happens while playing Crysis, is my computer getting to hot?
I´m currently using WinXP, and it happens all the time, after about 20 minutes gaming. I used to run Windows Vista, and it happened only twice in 5 months. Anything I can do?
My first question to you is this: do you notice any intense heat coming from the underside of the computer? Try playing the game in your lap, and feeling for heat (don't get yourself burned though!).
Also, what type of laptop do you have? (brand and model #)
In the past Sony Laptops were very known for overheating.
Heres my problem:
When i start outlook and i hit F5 to check for mail, i get three spam emails (always the same ones) and then i get the message:
"microsoft windows messaging subsystem spooler has encountered a problem..." etc
I guess thats the MAPISP32.exe thats necessary for sending and recieving email. So guess what happens, i cant recieve or send email. The only thing I know that I changed in the computer is that i recently disabled and then enabled again the system restore. I also recently installed SpywareBlaster. Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I run WinXP and MS Oulook 97.
You may have a corrupt mail spool. Call your isp and ask them if they can delete those first 3 spam messages and then see if it works.

hello techspot community!
My wife was playing Tetris battle on facebook, that time I was watching her playing tetris battle then suddenly my laptop shuts down. That incident happened twice. But it didn't happened when I was playing NBA2k12 earlier that day. And when I tried to turn it on again, at first try it did not power up so i took the battery out and put it again then it turns on. What happend to my laptop? could this be overheat? But I have a cooling pad with two fan. pls help me. I'm not the techie type, me just a gamer so pls I need help. It's an Intel core i3, ATI mobility radeon 5470, 4GB RAM.

While I am using my laptop suddenly computer shuts down. It shows a blue screen with some details of the error. But before I could read it, computer restarts. After restart, sometimes it may function normally and sometimes it would keep shutting down. I have to turnoff the computer completely for few minutes and then it would start working normally. This can happen at any time, there is nothing specific about this behavior.
This is happenening for 2-3 months now. Then it struck to my mind to check the log files of the system. So I checked system log files in computer management. It showed "iaStor" error there.
Whats this "iaStor" error ? Is that the problem for this kind of behavior ?
Secondly, the pointer on the laptop freezes for few seconds quite often and then its released from the frozen state. When I am trying to click on a link or trying to scroll down, the pointer or grabber sign freezes and then it gets released after 4-5 seconds. Whats this behavior due to ?
I did uninstall and reinstall the windows xp, but still it gives same behavior for both the issues.
My Spectre x2 keeps turning off automatically without warning, even when I'm just watching YouTube videos or using Facebook. There's nothing to signal that it's going to happen, it just goes to a black screen.
Read other answersHi guys,
I'm just a newbie and don't know how to mess inside my PC.
I just want to ask what problem my PC might have. My PC is old, but it is the only one I have. Lately, after some time of using my PC, the graphics went crazy with big pixels and the resolution was messed up. When I tried to print, the output has gone crazy as well. Then all of a sudden my PC shut off. When I tried to restart, it shut off again immediately.Today, as I tried to start again, everything seemed to be fine, but again after hours of using the PC shut off again. I worried that I might be hurting my PC since the problem still persists.

Hi Everyone,
Computers never cease to amaze me. Just when I think that the computer is running "the way it should be", the damn thing restarts on me. It happened a few days ago while playing Madden 2003. It happened this morning, while printing a picture, I decided to close Paint Shop Pro. For some reason, I am leaning towards this being a video card problem. More specifically, I think there is a conflict between the video card driver and several programs on the computer (i.e. graphic intensive). It has always been my understanding that a computer is SUPPOSED to remain ON until you tell it to TURN OFF. I hope someone on this amazing board can HELP ME OUT!!
Thanks In Advance,
I'm assuming that you've confirmed that your CPU fan is working properly? (in case it's overheating)
Check out this site....if you don't have this driver, then try downloading and installing it:
I know that the specific error they mention doesn't really apply to you, but it might help your problem.
You could also disable your computer from automatically restarting with system errors. Right-click on My Computer, go to Properties, then Advanced, then Settings (under Startup and Recovery), then take the checkmark off "Automatically Reboot". This is probably what's causing it to reboot....while you're working on something that deals with graphics, and the system generates an error, it automatically reboots.
These are just a couple of suggestions.
Hey Techspot, I'm hoping you can help me out with a little problem I've started experiencing. I got a Lenovo G555 just last year, and everything's been going great with it so far. However, as of about a day ago it decides to start shutting down without any warning whatsoever. It seems that this happens at random also. Some times I can keep the laptop on overnight (I like to have videos playing while I sleep) with no problems, and other times it snaps off after not even 5 minutes. Thus I can't really finish a scan with avast! or malwarebites. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary either. I don't know if it's really overheating because I keep it in a similar environment as my Toshiba laptop that has remained on around the same amount of time with no overheating whatsoever. I'm running Windows 7 on my Lenovo.
EDIT: I thought that my problem was in fact overheating, so I cleaned the fan area with some compressed air. That seems to help a little bit, but my computer still has a tendency to shut down randomly, just a lot less frequently. I checked the temperature with SpeedFan, and upon startup my core temp is as high as 80C, then cools off to about 60C when I'm doing nothing. The thing that worries me is that SpeedFan can detect no RPMs from my fan. Fan1, Fan2, and Fan3 all show 0 RPMs in the program.
Chances are the thermal pads or the thermal paste on the CPU/video chip needs replacing
Hey guys,
I have a serious problem. I bought a new computer lately, it is superb but it has one error. Everytime i start my computer it shuts off after an undifined amount of time. It doesn't cleanly shuts down windows or something it just roughly shuts off. I did run a memory check, i build in another cooler for my processor and it didn't change anything. Sometimes it happens when i'm gaming, sometimes it happens when i don't do anything so it is a hard problem to analyse. When i am in safe mode it doesn't shut off.
These are my specs:
Amd Athlon 64 X2 dual core 6000+
2 GB memory
450W power source
Asus 8800GS graphic card
I hope you can help me!

I would make sure your drivers are up to date and try a system restore if you have a restore point. Also, you might be able to find our more about whats causing it by looking at the event manager for dump files. Otherwise if its not a big hastle for ya i would consider a reinstall.
Read other 9 answersPlease help. My HP Pavilion Notebook, Windows XP, just started randomly shutting down (complete shut down, doesn't restart on it's own). Sometimes I can use it for an hour, but other times only 10 minutes. It just started doing that today. I haven't made any changes recently. Doesn't seem to be overheating.
I've tried searching the archives, but can't seem to find any recent posts (all expired) to try to find some answers.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I've been struggling with this for months and am at my wit's end. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!
Basically, without warning, my computer, for no apparent reason, shuts itself off. No shut down. It simply shuts off, as though the power had been disconnected. (It might be worth noting that on starting it back up again, chkdsk doesn't run.)
At first, I thought it was a random occurence and likely a hardware problem; possibly the Power Supply. However, my MoBo is set to power up the computer after losing power and, after one of these unexpected power downs, the computer doesn't start back up until I hit the power button.
I've also started to notice a link to downloading. Namely, if there's multiple downloads going on, it seems to trigger the problem. It shuts down almost every night, which is when I've got utorrent scheduled to run, and I've been able to trigger the problem reliably by initiating multiple downloads of podcasts in iTunes. It also seems to happen sometimes when web pages are taking too long to load.
It's probably important to note that the computer functions perfectly otherwise. I can tax the system with the latest games or a heavy set of video transcodes without incident, so I'd have a hard time believing it would be a heat problem.
Based on suggestions from others, I have tried replacing the RAM and Network Card, but neither has had any impact on the problem.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I guess there's no harm in having a bit of (possibly helpful) input...
It could have something to do with a faulty hard drive...I had something not so long ago where I had a lot of damaged secotrs, and copying things between disks would restart my computer (and sometimes never let it start back up)...
Have you got a spare drive you could test? Or if you have multiple drives, set the other 'good' one to the default download location and try to induce the problem.
I dont know what anyone else thinks of this...it could be completely wrong, but I guess there's no harm in trying!
I'm from India. I bought a HP 15-ay106ne laptop through my uncle in Abu Dubai on 01-01-2017.After a week I noticed that it didn't charge to 100% it reaches 99% only. After 15 days I noticed that it suddenly shuts down when the charging reaches 15% without any notification about plug-in. After few days it shuts down in between 15% and 20%.Now it's shutting down in between 36%-40% of charging. I found that the battery backup is also not good. Original backup is 10 hours but my laptop gives 5 hours of battery backup.I gave my laptop in to a HP service centre and they said it has a hardware problem. In India the spare parts are not available so please go to Dubai with your laptop.I preferred to buy it in Dubai because of its international warranty. But now they are not going to help me out of this problem.Please help me to get my laptop in good condition. And suggest me how to decrease the cycle count.
Read other answersGreetings-- my previous problem was wonderfully solved here, so am hoping help with new problem will be successful.
This past week I've suddenly developed a problem where without any warning the computer will shut off. The 'power' button on the PCU will go to an amber, and will not respond to repeated pressings. The only way I'm able to get it back on again is to cut the machine off at the power strip, then press the power button. I've run some various system scans, and nothing turns up.
I am using Windows XP, have a Gateway computer, and have NO CLUE about what is going on. Many thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. Please let me know what more information I need to provide for consideration.
Hi there!
Before I can help you in any way, I would like you to give information on your computer, such as service packs are installed or not, do you get any error messages, have you been experiencing speed problems with the pc lately, or have you been fiddling with the registry( ). Thank you!
Looking forward to helping you!

My other computer suddenly shut down while i was playing a game. Then i smelled a burning odor. I tried turning on the computer again but it wouldnt turn on so i opened the case and felt the hardwares. The power supply and the harddrive were hot.
What happened to my computer? how do i fix this?
have a look and see if you can see anything burnt on the motheboard.
powersupplies and HD are HOT - how hot - remember they do run very hot hence the fans.
when you turn on - do any fans spin up or lights come on - if not its likely to be the PSU.
you could try disconnecting the PSU from the MoBo and other devices and then switch on and see if fan in psu runs.
otherwise you probably need a meter to check if the psu is working.
whats the make/model of the PC and then maybe someone can advise more on parts etc.
I was recently having issues with the LCD backlight on my Dell XPS M1530 laptop. So I took it to the tech guy who fixed the backlight issue. But, now I get sudden shut downs while I'm working on my laptop. The screen goes white for a second before it shuts off by itself. Could it be an issue with wiring inside which the tech guy messed up? Or maybe the heat? because I notice the shut down when mostly my laptop is resting on a wooden table for about half and hour. Any advise?
Does your laptop have the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT installed? If so your problems are very likely a result of the nVidia Defect (I have recently had a refund on a laptop I boughgt in 2007 because of this), have a look here http://www.nvidiadefect.com/ for info, it's a very helpful website.
My PC is an XP Home, service pack 2.
My internet has been acting strangely lately. Sometimes it comes up with a white page or takes a couple of trys, also difficult to close at times.

dbgheap.c, line 1132, debug errorm debug assertion failed, breakpoint.
I have disabled 3rd party browser extensions, and have took off Google as my search engine.
I'm clean of malware or viruses.
Go easy on explaining to me, I'm a senior and a little slower then I'd like to be at times understanding.
Thank you.
Hi .
What browser? What version?
You realize that not having SP3 installed...makes your system more vulnerable to malware....than it would be if you had SP3 installed?
odd problem...when i launch search, as soon as i try and input anything into any box, it shuts down suddenly and without any error messages. would appreciate any input. am running xp with 512 mbs ram, 1.1 gig amd chip, and 40 gig hd. all applicable xp updates have been installed.
Sounds like something could be corrupted. Just a guess though. When I have had funky problems, I have tried a couple of things, which include a repair/reinstall. Basically, you run your WinXP disc in a repair mode. It should replace only the Windows files, so your settings will remain the same. You will have to re-update your "updates" though.
Again, just a suggestion.
it automatically shuts while doing some work without giving any warning and after restarting it works fine for some days then again shuts down randomly
Read other answersI have a Medion 8000 computer running Windows XP. Recently it started booting very slowly (5 min or more) and after it boots, it suddenly, without warning, shuts itself off and then starts to reboot. Any suggestions? Also when it starts to book and says "Push F1 or Del to enter setup", and I puxh F1, nothing happens.
Not sure if this is where I'm supposed to put this, but here goes. My father's laptop keeps shutting off. I know the battery is very poor, but I don't think it is what is causing the problem. When you boot the computer up, it runs through boot, loads windows, but as soon as it gets to the login screen, it suddenly does a hard shut down, like it suddenly loses power. Turn it back on and you get the "start windows normaly" option and it loads windows, but as soon as it comes to the login screen, complete shuts off, no shutting down, just hard shut down. The battery is bad enough that when you unplug the power cord, it shuts off like that, but the power cord was plugged in. We had a bad storm last night, but the power cord was plugged into a surge protector, so I don't know if the cord is damaged. When the computer shuts off at log in screen, it seems to do it at the same place. I don't know if it is a power issue or a Windows issue.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys

I don't know where to look and I don't even know if it is a hardware or software problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Id firstly check your temps - if the CPU or GPU gets too hot it will shut your computer down to protect it. Software such as Real Temp & GPU-z may shed some light on any overheating issues
Does anyone have a idea on why my computer shuts down mostly when playing games
the screen flickers once and then shuts everything down sometimes you can restart the system and it's ok but other tiimes it just keeps shutting off
I've tried troubleshooting everything but can not fiqure it out so please help
I am running windows xp with service pac 2
What kind of computer and what are the specs? Video card, motherboard, power supply?
Read other 6 answersmy HP desktop suddenly shuts down with no alert OS: windows 8.1 ( 32 )HP: hp compaq 8100 elite cmt pc it happens several times (abot twice in day)and dont know why this happens .... i mean its not about heat cuz heat is little cool at roomwhile as working suddenly shut down without alertthis first time i use HP and if could not fix it am gonna back this PC to the shop
Read other answersHello i´m stuck in a very bad situation, i try to use my PC, but it only will remain on for about two minutes and then shuts off, then i try to turn it on again but it will remain on less and less time, until i just cant even get to windows. Then i let it rest for 10 or 20 minutes and then again the same situation i´ve described above.
I checked the PSU and it seems ok, i even changed it for a new one, but the situation is still the same.
I can´t make a ram mem test because it shuts off first, don´t have enough time.
I checked the temperatures at BIOS when i start the PC, this is the status right after i turn it on:
CPU Temp: 75 C, 167 F. (it´s a Pentium D)
MB Temp: 29 C, 84 F.
CPU Fan speed: 3276 rpm. (is this too slow????)
VCore Volt: 1.216 V.
3.3V Voltage: 3.32 V.
5V Voltage: 5.107 V.
12V Voltage: 12.032 V.
Q-Fan: Disabled.
And this are the readings just a minute or two later (without even going to Windows yet):
CPU Temp: 93 C, 199 F.
MB Temp: 38 C, 100 F.
CPU Fan speed: 3276 rpm.
VCore Volt: 1.216 V.
3.3V Voltage: 3.32 V.
5V Voltage: 5.107 V.
12V Voltage: 12.032 V.
Q-Fan: Disabled.
And then the PC just shuts off.
Are these temperatures very high? if so, what could be happening, i don`t have it overclocked or something, and in the room the temperature is not so high, it is hot, but acceptable, i´ve been in worst temperatures with no problem at all.
I hope someone can help me, thankx!!!

Yeah, the cpu is way too hot so it stops working.
Hey everyone, so I recently got my laptop (ASUS G53JW) back from the ASUS service centre and that was to replace the DC jack port as the pin broke off in the port from the charger. They didn't change the motherboard, just the port as it was a defective part and caused the pin to break off.
I have no idea what they did to my laptop at the service centre, but since getting it back (yesterday) I have an issue with the laptop....I have started to get random shut downs without any warning at all. I am just sitting browsing the internet or playing a game and the laptop powers off without any blue screen, error, or warning. It boots back up right away, except for the latest time where it powered off (shortly after I plugged in my iPod) and then it kept shutting down in the boot screen about twice. I unplugged the iPod cord (and thus the iPod itself) from the USB port and that seemed to allow it to boot back up. Funny thing has started to occur as I changed what USB port I plug the iPod into, it randomly starts charging and then stops (but the cord is still plugged in)....
I checked event viewer, as I don't get a BSOD or anything and this is what I keep getting every single time these shut downs occur:

My PC locks up / shuts down without any notice. It also takes a long time to start up. I believe the slow start up is because I have too much stuff opening up that is not really needed. I notice the lock up problem happens more often when I use Firefox (V3.0.5) then when I am using IE (V6). I tried updating to IE7 but had so many issues with it that I had to go back to IE6. IE was locking up and not loading pages. The log and zip file are attached.

Hi, I'm helping a friend out with her Acer Aspire 3620. Its in pretty bad shape, I attempted to wipe the hard drive and reinstall XP, but when the process begins the notebook shuts off suddenly. Chkdsk has the same results after about 5%. I suspect faulty power supply or overheating, anybody have any other clues or things I should try to keep it going?

I'm guilty and fessing up to the fact that I often drown my salads in dressing. Simple, crisp and fresh salads are my favorite ways to eat greens, sans all the complicated toppings. The extra toppings often get in the way of my favorite greens. But to contradict myself in a bowl of lettuce, I'll often plunge the delicate leaves in a bath of oil and vinegar, suffocating my salad in excess dressing. Bad me, bad.
Key ingredients to healthy & flavorful dressing: non-fat yogurt, parmesan & oregano
fresh endive from the garden & toasted pine nuts
But after 4 days of glorious green and healthy meals at Rancho La Puerta Spa, I'm a changed gal. I never realized how less is more when it comes to constructing a salad.
This delicious creamy parmesan dressing from the cookbook Rancho La Puerta: Cooking with the Seasons, has proven to me that dressings can be flavorful, healthy and light, without all the oil and volume. Instead of using a lot of oil, non-fat yogurt is the base to this ridiculously amazing and simple dressing. All the stellar salads that I ate at the ranch were always delicately dressed and I never missed the pool of dressing that usually adorns my salads. A little bit of a great dressing goes a long way. And better yet, this creamy parmesan dressing is low in calories. Boo-yaa!
I was invited to a social media retreat at Rancho La Puerta in Tecate Mexico and it was a week long retreat of healthy eating and inspiring technology talks with some of social media's most influential women. Bonding sessions full of informative discussions with these amazing women made me feel small in comparison. Yes, I Twitter and occasionally Facebook, but nearly not successful enough compared to these mavens. Luckily I have Jaden as a friend to let me tag along or else I'll still be at home trying to figure out how to update my Facebook page.
The menu at Rancho La Puerta is superbly fresh, seasonal, healthy and completely satisfying. Brilliant culinary thought goes into each dish to ensure that their high quality produce is savored and celebrated. The ranch was founded almost 70 years ago by Debra Szekely, an amazing and passionate radical of her time who was the driving force behind the modern health and fitness movement. Debra is 88 years old and continues to be a power-house of ideas, opinions and concerns for the state of social welfare. She is a mentor, a philanthropist and a public servant who never ceases to build strength and inspiration to those around her.
Much of the produce for the daily menu at Rancho La Puerta comes from Tres Estrellas, the ranch's organic garden that was started by Debra's daughter, Sarah Livia Brightwood. Every single dish at the ranch sings with fresh produce from Tres Extrellas organic, seasonal and sustainable garden. Nestled at the base of Mt. Cahuilla, the sprawling ranch feeds the ranch guests and the local community. It's a beacon light, thriving health and quality produce in such small rural town.
Our group was fortunate to be invited to a cooking class at the garden's cooking school and luckier yet, it was headed by Chef Michael Stroot, a kind, accomplished Golden Door Chef and a generous soul full of culinary passion. Leading the garden harvest for the evenings agenda was head gardener, Salvador Tinajero, a energetic and devoted lover of the earth who can talk hours on end about the growing seasons of lettuce greens. The wonderful evening was buzzing with cooking activity, where everyone in the group participated in preparing the menu.
All the produce was collected straight from the organic garden and the whole group was giggly happy like little girls while we tromped through the vegetable isles, pulling onions and lettuce along the way. It was an awakening and spirit enriching week with these fabulously lovely ladies. Thank you to everyone at Rancho La Puerta Spa and Tres Estrellas organic garden for your generous sponsorship of this valuable trip. I'm forever inspired by your commitment to bettering the health of everyone around you.
And finally, my salads thank you too. They won't drown in oil anymore.

BELLEVUE, Ohio -- The Bellevue Board of Education has reached agreement on plans to purchase a building on Moore Avenue for $500,000 to use as its bus garage, maintenance facility, and storage area.
The board plans to pay $350,000 at closing for the Scagnetti Building and then pay $50,000 a year for three years interest-free. Administrators say the plan will reduce fuel costs by an estimated $23,000 a year and earn rental income of $31,800 from the tenant, A. Schulman Co.
Superintendent Kim Schubert said the building will mean the district's buses are just five minutes from the new central elementary and middle schools on State Rt. 269, which are to open this fall. The plan also will allow the district to sell the former York Elementary property in York Township, where the current bus garage is.

What's Up With Dan Murphy?
Marty Noble got a great question in his mailbag regarding Dan Murphy's rookie status for the 2009 season.
Once a player exceeds 50 innings pitched or 130 at-bats in the Major Leagues he loses his rookie status. Further more, if a player has more than 45 days on a Major League roster before September 1st, he also loses his rookie status.
Here was Noble's reply:
Murphy retained rookie status in terms of days on the roster. He was promoted on Aug. 2, so he had 30 days service before Sept. 1. But his pinch-hitting appearance — he struck out — in the eighth inning of the final game increased his at-bat total to one over the limit. Had he walked, he would be eligible for the 2009 Rookie of the Year Award.
Wow, one stupid at-bat… what was Jerry Manuel thinking…
Just kidding Jerry, keep on keeping on…

McClendon is strong as an ox, doesn't make him anything better that slightly less that ordinary. JJ's skills are what is going to make him good, and they seem to be developing by what shows on the video's posted. He can improve with more strength, sure, but it's not all about strength. If it was, McClendon might be all-pro.
Jarvis Jones has a message to everybody out there who thinks he's too small to be a successful outside linebacker in the Steelers' 3-4 defense.
"You ever see me get put on my back?" Jones said.
Jones quickly answered his own question.
"I don't think so," he said.
The Steelers always have liked bigger outside linebackers, especially in the Dick LeBeau era with James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley.
But when the Steelers drafted Jones in the first round last year, they showed they valued speed over size.
At 6-foot-2, 245 pounds, Jones is the second-smallest projected starting 3-4 outside linebacker in the league behind only Cleveland's Barkevious Mingo.
"In the NFL, you can't go off size. You go off heart, and Jarvis does a lot of that for us," linebacker Lawrence Timmons said. "He is a player who can fit the bill for our defense."
You don't have to be big to be a successful outside linebacker in the 3-4, especially rushing the quarterback. The Indianapolis Colts' Robert Mathis is the same size as Jones and has 111 career sacks. Clay Matthews is an inch taller and 10 pounds heavier and is averaging 10 sacks a year in Green Bay. Neither can be considered stout at the point of attack, but they aren't a liability, either.
"It's a passing league," Jones said. "Everybody wants somebody who is fast and can move. I would love to look like Woodley — big, strong, muscles and move and play the way I do. It would be great. But that's not my game, so I have to work with what I have."
Jones' game is more speed, quickness and getting off the ball. His 245-pound frame could lead to him getting pushed off the ball in the run game, but that hasn't been much of a problem.
Getting to the quarterback has.
Jones became the first rookie outside linebacker to start for the Steelers since they went to the 3-4 in 1982, and he struggled at times. Jones started eight of 14 games but managed only one sack and 11 quarterback pressures in 308 pass-rushing attempts.
Jones played his best game in the season finale against Cleveland when he had nine tackles while facing All-Pro left tackle Joe Thomas.
More is expected from Jones this season, and that was evident when the Steelers cleared the path for him by releasing Woodley in the offseason. The Steelers had only 34 sacks last year — a 25-year low.
"There is a lot of pressure," Jones said. "My teammates want me to produce, my coaches want me to produce, and I need to produce. They are giving me an opportunity to start and become a player and produce. Now I have to hold up my end of the bargain."
In two preseason games (82 snaps), Jones has a sack, five tackles and a pair of quarterback pressures.
"I like the work that he has done," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "By no means he is a finished product."
Jones has been working with Joey Porter, a defensive assistant, on different pass-rushing moves. Jones sacked Eli Manning during the first preseason game with an inside move, something he didn't have in his arsenal last season.
"I am playing faster and am more comfortable with the defense," Jones said. "I still have areas to improve on. I am not there yet, so I am not going to say that I am. I feel like the better I learn the game the better my pass rushing will go. The better I learn exactly what we are trying to do on defense, the better my game will be."

text: How Reading Fiction Can Improve Your Social SkillsAdam Dachis4/27/11 11:30amFiled to: PsychologyReadingBehaviorsocial skills34EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Perhaps it's due to the way movies and television programs portray bookworms, but people who like to read are often portrayed as socially awkward. Interestingly enough, a new study shows that reading fiction can actually improve your social skills. Here's why. Advertisement Susan Cain, and expert on introversion, elaborates:This could of course be correlation rather than causation — maybe the kind of person who likes fiction is more empathic to start with — but the researchers think not. They believe that there's something about exposure to fiction — the direct immersion in another person's mind and body — that stimulates our empathic muscles.So while it's entirely possible for fiction lovers to be shy and appear to lack some social skills, it's also possible that they've developed a great ability to empathize with others that isn't entirely apparent. If you're a bit shy and love to read fiction, the good news is that you might be more socially adept than you realize.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
We are recommending the shares of Calgary-based Tourmaline Oil in the latest issue of The Canada Report, released on Feb. 16. The shares trade primarily on the Toronto Stock Exchange as TOU but are also listed in the over-the-counter Grey Market under the symbol TRMLF.
Contributing editor Tom Slee likes the company for several reasons including its strong management team, excellent properties, and low production costs. The shares were trading at C$24.50 on the afternoon of Feb. 17. Here is a condensed version of Mr. Slee's analysis:
The business: Tourmaline Oil is an intermediate oil and gas exploration and production company based in Calgary, Alberta. The company was formed in 2008 and has grown rapidly through acquisitions and farm-ins. Current production is about 23,000 boe/d (barrels of oil equivalent per day) of which 85% is natural gas. Production should exceed 40,000 boe/d by the end of 2012.
Why we like it: What I really like about this company is that the key executives are a successful team with a proven track record. For example, CEO Michael Rose founded, built, and then sold Berkley Petroleum and Duvernay Oil. More to the point, the management team has invested $253 million of their own money in Tourmaline and hold 30% of the outstanding stock. That's a healthy situation.
TOU is already one of the largest landholders in the promising Alberta Deep Basin, an area with significant potential. It is also producing in the Montney Fairway in British Columbia, a low-cost extraction site that is becoming extremely active. The company has drilled more than 70 wells during the last two years and there are plans to drill another 55 in 2011.
Financial highlights: TOU has one of the lowest cost structures in the industry. Its rich natural gas drilling inventories have a weighted break-even price of $3.65/Mcf. In its 2011 guidance statement, issued in late December, Tourmaline said it expects to spend between $350 and $425 million on capital projects this year (figures in Canadian dollars). Production growth in the 57% range is expected.
The company expects cash flow of approximately $274 million in 2011 ($2.01/share basic). Tourmaline has maintained a very strong balance sheet during its two years of operation and intends to continue to do so; the company currently has no debt.

Having first been produced by the Block Beattaz, Stalley's "Hell's Angels" gets a smooth tweak from Atlanta's DJ Burn One. The great thing is that it doesn't even sound like a remix, with both Stalley and Rick Ross' flows fitting cleanly into the track's new low-crunch synths. The song--which can be found in its original form on Stalley's Savage Journey to the American Dream mixtape--also features some slow burning guitar towards the end that gives it a just-discovered feel. And courtesy of Stalley's Soundcloud, you can listen to and download Burn One's take on "Angels" below. [Complex]

In Sunday's (Dec. 8) episode of "Breaking the Faith", the refugees from the "Crick" had to leave their safe house after one refugee returned home, perhaps putting the rest of them in jeopardy, and fled to Salt Lake City, four hours from St. George. But Salt Lake City isn't "safe" as far as the FLDS is concerned. In fact, due to the history between the FLDS and the LDS (Mormons,) they've been taught that SLC is ground zero for debauchery. So the group is even more nervous. And unlike the last episodes, they're far enough away from the "God Squad" to be able to venture out into public.
With the help of Lisa, their host in Salt Lake City, they meet some LDS kids their own age, and they try, haltingly, to discuss their differences. The conversation ended fairly quickly for two of the more conservative girls, Angie and Connie, when the word "cult" was used. While they've left that life, the girls are still very protective of it.
Martha and Valerie, however, are trying to make changes – even if at this point, it's just looking at "worldly" clothes and talking about wearing them without the long, "protective" FLDS underwear. Baby steps.
We admit, we're drawn to this series, even if the admitted "staging" feels fake (be sure to read the disclaimer at the beginning of the show.) But the fact remains, no matter when these young adults broke free of the FLDS, they are going to be wrestling with the reality they were taught their whole lives vs. the pull of being free and learning about the world they've chosen instead; a world they were blind to before they jumped.
That doesn't mean that they're going to put on miniskirts right away (and that's reassuring.) Each of them have their own levels of comfort and how much or little they want to keep from their pasts. I hope we learn more about them each individually as the weeks go on.
Some thoughts:
- The Warren Jeffs voice-overs during transitions are completely creepy. Yes, they're supposed to be, but the trance-like quality of his voice makes warning bells go of in my head, and then I immediately wonder how others don't hear the same thing.
- It comes out that Connie really left FLDS because her "boyfriend," Cody, had left a year prior, and she's convinced they're supposed to be together. As one of the girls who is not terribly comfortable with changing, she does have a good deal to say about how much she made out with Cody while back at the Crick. She seems to have chosen this boy more than the "non-Crick" world. Unfortunately, we didn't see the details of their reunion this time. Next week.
- The "stares" that the group got during the parade were probably due more to the camera crew than their dresses, don't you think?
- Even disrespectful idiots can wear "protective" long underwear.
- Note to the two LDS missionaries: you should do some reading up on FLDS.
What are you thinking of "Breaking the Faith?"

In progressive vaccinia, the primary vaccination site does not heal but rather expands with extensive necrosis (death of tissue), eventually covering large portions of body with extensive destruction of normal tissue. If allowed to progress, the patient may experience dire complications including toxic or septicemic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, superimposed infection, and bacteremia or septicemia. They may die. Aggressive use of vaccinia immune globulin (VIG) is the mainstay of treatment. Progressive vaccinia has sometimes been termed vaccinia necrosum, vaccinia gangrenosa, or disseminated vaccinia.

From Judith Baron:
And thank you for letting us know your thoughts about piggy banks and TOWFI. |
From Daniel H. Schechner:
All more believable than the suggested derivation that we first encountered (gardy loo, a corruption of French gardez l'eau or "watch out for the water", supposedly called out by women dumping chamber pots from second-story windows). John Ayto thinks the lieux d'aisances explanation is the most believable, too. |
From Luke McElligott:
Oops, Luke, actually, the phrase is beck and call and always has been. Beck is the same word as beckon, though, so you're on the right track. To be at one's beck and call is to respond when he beckons you and/or calls you. It dates from the mid-19th century. |

I wonder at times if I am doing this right. This parenting thing. Have you ever thought this? Actually, you may not have...but I have.
Tasks I would consider easy seem to become scientific problems for NASA here. As I was writing this, one of my boys became so frustrated with one of the chores he was doing because...just because. My fingers left the keyboard and went to help him. I took some time and showed him how to do it. And he got it. And he was grateful. And that was it.
I have to remember this. I have to take the time to demonstrate my expectations. I have to take the time. I have to.
I am twenty years old (+++) and my boys are still in elementary and middle school. I've had a wealth of life changing experiences, where they have had a max of 13 years of simple life. The reminders, given over and over and over and...(whew) and over again are necessary for them. As a matter of fact, some adults get constant reminders, over and over again. In fact, some who are reading this get reminders over and over again. I digress.
Dads, I am well aware that we expect so much from our children. Let's remember that we are raising CHILDREN. As exhausting as it can sometimes be, they need our constant example. So give it. Be it. Be mindful that examples can be a sharp contrast to directives.
I am NOS...

An extras casting notice from Embassy Films appears to provide filming dates for season 4 of Game of Thrones in Croatia, and confirms the city of Split as a new location for next season.
According to the notice, filming will occur this summer in Dubrovnik from August 20th through September 20th. Shooting of the show will shift to Split from September 20th through October 10th.
Split is a coastal city, located on the Adriatic Sea and home to the palace of Emperor Diocletian, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Ours is the Fury: I'm curious as to why they're moving to Split this year, which about 140 miles from Dubrovnik – not a simple day trip but a complete move of the production.

This Wednesday we need your voice. We only need to borrow it for a few hours, and I promise you'll enjoy its use. It needs to be raised in unison with others across the country and around the world.
Two events are happening Wednesday night that you need to be at, wherever you are. It just might be the most fun you've had all year.
It also might be the most important thing you do all year. If anyone doubted the severity of the situation in Quebec, and the urgent need for solidarity, this weekend's events will put those doubts to rest.
Police actions over the weekend crossed a line, an even more significant one than that crossed by the reviled Bill 78. Across Montreal's metro system, and especially at Parc Jean Drapeau, where the Formula 1 racetrack is located, police engaged in "preventative arrests".
People were pulled off metros, denied access to a public park, searched, and in many cases arrested. Why? Because they were wearing a political symbol. A red square of solidarity with the student cause.
Or, in the words of a Montreal police officer to a Le Devoir reporter, a "revolutionary symbol."
Many journalists were also denied access to the Park, as police tried to limit the public visibility of their repressive actions. However, the best account of what transpired was written by two courageous journalists with Montreal daily Le Devoir, who went undercover wearing red squares to see what would happen. The results of their experiment are hair raising, and must be read to be understood (English translation + French original).
In Montreal right now, you may be arrested en masse for participating in a peaceful demonstration. You may be stopped and searched, even arrested, for wearing a politicial symbol. You may be beaten in the street for no reason, as happened to two tourists a few days ago. You may end up with a concussion, broken ribs, bones and lacerations from batons. You may lose an eye, as has happened twice, or an ear. If you're media, especially CUTV which has been broadcasting live from all the demonstrations, you may be specifically targetted, and have your camera broken repeatedly.
You no longer need do anything to find yourself a target of police violence and arrest. Simply expressing your dissent, through peaceful protest, or even the wearing of a symbol, is now enough to make you a target.
In the streets of Quebec our people bleed for the dream of a better world, or simply one where governments defend the common good, instead of selling it to the highest bidder. They are tired, dog tired, after almost fifty straight nights of marching. They are scared, reasonably so, of arrest, injury or worse.
But they continue. They do not give an inch. They fight this battle for themselves, but also for all of us. Quebec is the front line of a global struggle.
The brave souls here in Quebec need your solidarity. Can you spare an hour to give it to them?
This Wednesday night at 8 PM, for the third straight week, people across Canada and around the world will join together and bang their pots and pans in the joyous excercise known here as casseroles. Last week over 125 communities participated, from Brussels to Montevideo, New York to Saltspring Island, Tatamagouche to Dawson City.
Go to the national Casseroles Night in Canada Facebook page and find your community! If you're not on the list, start your own casseroles. Simply pick a central location, create a Facebook event, post it on the national page and share it with your friends. Then post your photos and videos on the national page so we can keep track of what happened where.
Beyond Wednesday, our next big Casseroles Night in Canada will take place on Friday the 22nd of June. Timed to coincide with the largest rally yet in Quebec, which may exceed half a million people, we are asking everyone to build toward large rallies on that day to send a strong message of support to Quebec.
Wednesday also marks the 13 Heroes national day of action against the federal budget. With the terrifying omnibus budget expected to pass early Thursday, LeadNow.ca has organized rallies at Conservative MP offices and support locations across the country at 5:30 PM. They are calling on 13 Conservative MPs to break ranks and vote against the budget. Visit the 13 Heroes website to find your local action, or sign up to host one in your comunity.
As Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, Brigette DePape, Union leader Louis Roy and others said at a conference in Montreal this weekend, we need a common front against governments which are dismantling our democracy across the country.
So please, bring your casseroles to the 13 Heroes rallies, and bring your friends from 13 heroes to the casseroles. Together we are strong, but as Raul Berbano of Latin American NGO Common Frontiers said this weekend "We can't start the revolution from Starbucks."
So start by sharing this article, the Casseroles Facebook page and the 13 Heroes website far and wide. Then take your love and solidarity into the streets.
You won't only be helping Quebec's social movement, or taking a stand against an unjust budget, you'll be helping to build your community, and strengthening your ties to your neighbors.
I'll see you there!

The View From 1776

Teachers' Union Tort
Everything for union members, nothing for students.
Education • (0) Comments
Print this Article • Email A Friend • Permalink
The View from 1776 presents a framework to understand present-day issues from the viewpoint of the colonists who fought for American independence in 1776 and wrote the Constitution in 1787. Knowing and preserving those understandings, what might be called the unwritten constitution of our nation, is vital to preserving constitutional government. Without them, the bare words of the Constitution are just a Rorschach ink-blot that politicians, educators, and judges can interpret to mean anything they wish.
"We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution is made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams, to the Officers of the First Brigade, Third Division, Massachusetts Militia, October 11, 1798.

Reese Witherspoon on Son Tennessee: Heaven "Delivered Us an Angel"
Reese Witherspoon has given birth three times -- most recently in September, when she and husband Jim Toth welcomed baby boy Tennessee James -- but she's as awestruck by the miracle of life now as she was 12 years ago, when she became a first-time mom to daughter Ava. (The Devil's Knot star also has an 8-year-old son, Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.)
On Friday, Dec. 7, the Oscar-winning actress, 36, spoke at the March of Dimes Celebrates Babies event in Beverly Hills, where pal Elizabeth Banks presented her with the Grace Kelly Award. The award recognizes role-model celebrity parents, like Witherspoon, who exemplify the March of Dimes commitment to healthy babies and families.
PHOTOS: Reese's chic maternity style
Accepting the honor, the blonde beauty opened up about her experience with motherhood and what it was like to hold her children in her arms for the first time. She told a story about a friend who called her en route to giving birth, wanting to know what to expect at the hospital.
"She wanted to know how she was going to feel in that moment and what it would be like when you meet your baby for the very first time," the mom-of-three recalled. "And I was talking to Jim, my husband, and I said, 'Can you imagine describing that moment of pure joy that happens when your child is in your arms for the very first time.' I mean, what are the words?!"
PHOTOS: Reese's body evolution
"We are parents that know the joy of having a beautiful, brilliant, joyful, perfect baby," Witherspoon continued. "That somehow heaven has opened up and delivered us an angel [who] looks adorable in every angle of an iPhone photo. And, in my case, looks gorgeous printed on a bag or a pillow or an iPhone cover -- anything you can get on TinyPrints!"

Sex shop closing in Dana Point eyes San Clemente site
A sexually oriented business that is scheduled to close its Dana Point location at the end of the month hopes to open a new store in San Clemente's downtown area, if the city approves a business license for it.
But some San Clemente residents and businesses are not happy.
Intimate Obsessions is trying to move to 309 N. El Camino Real in San Clemente by the beginning of August, when the Dana Point store must close because its building was sold, Dana Point store manager Kimm Flatley said. "We hope to have another store in Dana Point soon," she said.
She said the closure will hurt Intimate Obsessions in the short term because the Dana Point store is more than double the size of the 1,000-square-foot San Clemente location and offers many more items.
Susan Smith, owner of Backstreet Home Decor next to the proposed San Clemente site, said she is against Intimate Obsessions opening, though she wouldn't discuss her reasons.
Resident Tom Murphy, saying he was speaking on behalf of Backstreet Home Decor, said there are several reasons the shop should not be allowed there.
"My feeling is that type of store is not suitable with the location," Murphy said.
He cited San Clemente municipal code 5.12.050, Section C, which reads, "The adult-oriented business shall not be located within 1,000 feet of any lot upon which there is properly located a religious institution, public park or school."
San Clemente Presbyterian Church is just behind the proposed location.
"They have sexual material in there, pornographic material, sexual items, which you can all imagine," Murphy said during the July 16 City Council meeting. "The Presbyterian church is right behind this building, with their church and their school and their children."
But Murphy said a loophole in the law may allow the shop to open if it doesn't have more than 15 percent sexual material on the floor, he said.
Flatley, a longtime San Clemente resident, said the intent of the business is not to bring controversy but rather to be a place where consenting adults can go for items such as feather whips, fuzzy handcuffs, lubricants, lingerie and candles. She said the store also offers adult-oriented educational items.
The San Clemente space won't have rooms where people can view pornography, Flatley said. It would mainly sell higher-end products such as lingerie, she said, and would stringently enforce a rule requiring people to be 18 or older to enter.
"We want to embrace our neighbors and be positive," Flatley said.
"Most people come in here for educational purposes, not to buy porn DVDs," she said.
People recovering from cancer will visit on advice from a doctor to purchase items to help them readjust to their bodies after chemotherapy or surgery, she added.
"Intimate Obsessions has applied for a business license, and Community Development is currently reviewing the application," San Clemente City Manager Pall Gudgeirsson said.
"Since Mr. Murphy has raised some issues with the application, we have asked our city attorney to review it for compliance with our municipal code," Gudgeirsson added.
"This is not an issue that the City Council will be reviewing, as it is an application for a business license and not subject to City Council review," he said.
Because the shop is defined as "adult-oriented," it has to get an adult-oriented business permit and a business license from the city because of potential harm an adult-oriented business can have on the community, according to city code.
Adult-oriented businesses are "believed to have any of the recognized significant secondary effects on the community which include, but are not limited to, depreciated property values and increased vacancies in residential and commercial areas in the vicinity of the adult-oriented businesses; higher crime rates, noise, debris or vandalism in the vicinity of adult-oriented businesses; and blighting conditions such as low-level maintenance of commercial premises and parking lots which thereby have a deleterious effect upon adjacent areas," according to Section A of municipal code 5.12.010.
"If this city has the will, which I know it does, to say, 'Not here, not in our town, not next to our kids at the Pizza Port, not across the street from our church and the church school, not in our 'T-Zone' (downtown), then they could keep this thing out of here and send it down to … the (zones) where it's allowed," Murphy said.
Flatley said opposition to sexually oriented shops is nothing new. She said the Dana Point store faced opposition when it wanted to open a dozen years ago but that its relationship with the city is much better.
The San Clemente store would be the city's second adult-oriented business. The other, Condom Revolution, is down the street at 401 S. El Camino Real. It opened in 1999 and received heavy criticism from members of the public and the religious community.
The San Clemente city attorney's comments are expected within days. A decision on the business license also could come soon.
