mer retail outlet in the Westfield Mall, has closed and moved all their puppies to the Carlsbad mall, reports say.
Further, the Carlsbad Mall is scheduled to shut down in the future for construction and remodeling. Informed sources tell The Paper that California Pets will then close that store for good as well. The North County Mall manager, Damien Osip, told The Paper they are no longer entertaining retail pet stores as tenants in their malls.
This essentially shuts the door on the puppy mill market for San Diego County as all retail puppy outlets in San Diego County are either closed or will soon close. The city of San Diego passed an ordinance outlawing them; recently, the city of Oceanside did the same. A campaign was being mounted to develop the same type of legislation in Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, and Carlsbad. Now, organizers say, they may not have to go to all that work and can focus on stimulating adoption of animals via a number of rescue organizations. This, they say, will cut back on the number of needless euthanizations of perfectly healthy

woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Please sit down." "Would you like a drink?" "No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice." "Oh it's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?"
Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs."
No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism. "This woman is amazing," he muses, “What's next?"

Escondido Business Dispute Flares Up
The Paper received a press release that was a bit out of the norm in that there appeared to be open hostility displayed against the Escondido Chamber of Commerce amid allegations of failure to keep financial comments.
The release, written and released by Downtown Business Association (DBA) President Alex MacLachlan apologized for the the cancellation of the annual Valentine’s Day Chocolate Festival and blamed the cancellation on the Chamber, saying that the chamber had failed to pay the DBA some $20,000 due the DBA by the Escondido Chamber. MacLachlan later said the $20,000 represented the share of proceeds it was owed as its share of proceeds from two street fairs held last year. The chamber and the DBA had partnered to run the fairs, he said. He also accused the chamber of

The Founding of America’s New Pastime
With the annual Super Bowl Sunday just around the corner, you might be interested in how professional football grew to the giant business it is today.
Baseball is no longer the nation’s “pastime.” Today, it’s the National Football League. The NFL averages a larger per-game viewership, both in attendance as well as broadcasts and telecasts, than any other sporting event in North America. On Feb. 1, this year’s ultimate playoff, known as the “Super Bowl,” will determine the champion of the league.
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her.
"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely. When was the last time you played around?" She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes, . . . . "You've built a Golf Course?"
Professional football had its birth in the state of Ohio when a meeting in a new car showroom was held on Aug. 20, 1920, by representatives of the Akron Pros, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Indians, and Dayton Triangles in Canton, Ohio, resulting in the formation of the “American Professional Football Conference.” The primary aim was to raise the standard of professional football, eliminating bidding for players between clubs and to organize schedules. The fledgling league hired legendary football great Jim Thorpe as the first president. Historically speaking, only two of those original 14 teams remain: the Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears) and the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals). In 1922, the name was changed to the National Football League. Fan interest in a championship game led the NFL to split into two divisions with a championship game to be played between the divisions. In the 1933 season, African Americans were prohibited from playing in the league. That ban was rescinded in 1947, because of public pressure and the lifting of a similar ban in Major League Baseball. Up until the 1960s, several smaller leagues attempted to form, but the NFL remained dominant and
