CARLSBAD — While cleaning the attic of a historic building, once the home of an early Carlsbad pioneer and later the popular Twin Inns restaurant, property manager Lisa Snyder discovered a mural that once hung on the walls in the large octagon room.
The long-lost mural, painted on canvas in 1925 by local artist James Morton Patterson, was discovered in the attic of the landmark Victorian, on the corner of Carlsbad Village Drive and Carlsbad Boulevard.
Snyder was cleaning the attic of what is now the Ocean House Restaurant on March 19 to make way for the first walking tour of the Carlsbad Village, which begins and ends at the restaurant, when she found a long silver tube which contained the mural stuck in the rafters of the building's attic.
It is one of three, she said, that historians had been wondering about over the years.
Wrapped in the pages of a 1949 Los Angeles Times and a San Diego Union newspaper from the same year, the 6-foot-by-22-foot canvas, which depicts a mountain scene, is now cracked and yellowed.
The property owners, SIMA Corporation, hired Alexis Miller of Balboa Art Conservation Center to examine the painting.
Although the mural may be old and faded, memories of the Twin Inns restaurant and the octagon dining room where the mural once hung are still clear and full of details for many longtime residents and visitors alike.
If these walls could talk, they have said.
Eddie Kentner bought the building — which had been built in the late 1800s by Gerhard Schutte, one of the founders of Carlsbad — in 1919.
On his tour, local history buff George Hruby tells how the restaurant was also home to the Kentners, who lived upstairs.
The Kentners eventually turned it into a "world-famous" restaurant. The restaurant served only one meal — fried chicken and fritters dinners, Hruby said. He added that it is still served today.
The restaurant became a popular stop for tourists and Hollywood celebrities on their way to or from the Agua Caliente racetrack in Baja California in the 1920s and 1930s, and the racetrack in Del Mar in the 1940s.
Jack Greelis, who took the recent tour, said the Kentners reportedly hosted many celebrities such as John Wayne and Jack Dempsey, who stayed at the Twin Inns when they came to town.
The Twin Inns went though several changes and at least two renovations. One in the 1920s after the large room was added and murals were hung, and again in 1949, when the murals were taken down.
"Kentner was smitten, as most of the world at the time, by the discovery of King Tut's tomb and he had the bar and bar-restaurant section decked out in Middle Eastern art and déécor," Hruby said. This too, would be temporary, and the décor changed again. Many locals still remember the large chicken status outside that eventually made the restaurant a landmark.
What will become of the mural with so much history? Both Snyder and Hruby said the owners are investigating the possibilities.
"One major question is does the historical society or the city have a 22-foot-wall upon which to display the mural? So no one knows where exactly the mural will end up," Hruby said.
Long-lost mural just one mystery on new walking tour

Highlighting the source of problems with the 5 whys technique
Mistakes happen. We try our hardest to make sure they don't here at Brandwatch but occasionally things don't quite go to plan. This is a common problem in Engineering, just ask NASA, who lost a $125-million space craft thanks to a part manufacturer using imperial instead of metric units, or Apple, who failed to discern that the iPhone 4 would suffer huge signal drop when held in a human hand. Clearly, if slip-ups of this magnitude can happen to the largest, most well funded companies imaginable they can happen to anyone, and we are no exception.
This was (and presumably still is) a well known fact at Toyota back at the turn of the century, when Sakichi Toyoda first developed the "5 whys" technique, designed to uncover the "root cause" of problems. Since then, 5 whys has been incorporated into the Toyota Production System, a key part of the company's success over the last century or so. The method has subsequently moved beyond just manufacturing and is used in other fields, including Software Development.
The Technique
We have found it useful for a 5 Whys meeting to be triggered by a specific, significant event that can then be the focus of the investigation. An example might be a period of unplanned downtime or a critical bug making its way to the live system, but there is no limit to when it can be used. Generally, it's a case of using judgement to decide when it is appropriate to use 5 whys, but major, unusual or unexpected failures are generally good candidates.
The process is very straightforward, it requires that you begin with the problem and simply ask "Why?" over and over again, building up causes and effects as you go until you reach a root cause or perhaps multiple root causes. It is then a case of studying the root causes and identifying ways to solve them. It's important to think about long term solutions rather than quick fixes, the aim is to prevent similar failures from ever recurring, by tackling the very root cause of the issue rather than the symptoms.
Let's look at a simple example, provided by Taiichi Ohno of Toyota[1]:
"Why did the robot stop?"
The circuit has overloaded, causing a fuse to blow.
"Why is the circuit overloaded?"
There was insufficient lubrication on the bearings, so they locked up.
"Why was there insufficient lubrication on the bearings?"
The oil pump on the robot is not circulating sufficient oil.
"Why is the pump not circulating sufficient oil?"
The pump intake is clogged with metal shavings.
"Why is the intake clogged with metal shavings?"
Because there is no filter on the pump.
In this example, it would be simple to fix the apparent cause of the fault (a blown fuse) and move on, but this would not prevent the problem from recurring (in fact, it may recur quite quickly!).
Similarly, a worker could clear the metal shavings from the pump. This might fix the issue longer term but the issue would still eventually recur.
Even replacing the filter on the pump may not be sufficient. In this example it may be desirable to keep asking "Why" to find out what part of the process failed to allow a filter to be missing from a pump. It could be a process problem, a training problem, a monitoring problem or something else.
How we do 5 Whys
We perform 5 Whys meetings as follows.
After a candidate for 5 whys has been identified a meeting is arranged involving all people involved in the issue. This is typically the entire development team as well as any key people from outside of the team who were involved. It's generally important that everyone attends so that their point of view can be represented. Otherwise, you can find yourself not having the correct person to answer a question present and the investigation grinds to a halt, or worse, the absentee being blamed for the failure and is not present to provide a crucial point of view.
The meeting will be scheduled for about 2 hours but may be shorter. The meeting is split into two parts; in the first half the 5 whys technique is carried out and a tree of all causes and effects are mapped out on a whiteboard. In the latter half of the meeting the root causes identified are discussed, and solutions are proposed. These are noted down on the whiteboard. At the conclusion of the meeting a consensus should be reached on which root causes should be tackled.
Seemingly important causes may be difficult to fix so a compromise must be made, a tradeoff between the simplicity of the fix and the severity of the problem. In practice, this is not normally difficult to achieve. In his book The Lean Startup (where I first learned of the technique), Eric Ries proposes that the investment should be proportional, that is the investment should be smaller when the problem is minor and larger when the symptom is more painful [The Lean Startup p.232].
People who are unfamiliar with the technique are often reluctant to take part, perhaps feeling that the purpose of the meeting is to find someone to be at fault and that they may be blamed for any failures. It's important when facilitating a meeting like this that everyone understands the intended outcome is some kind of process improvement and that there is never a desire to attribute blame to any person.
Making it useful
It's important that the output of the 5 whys meeting is shared with the appropriate people. We think that there is value in everyone in the department (and even beyond) learning from the improvements identified, so we (as a rule) share a brief write-up of the outcome with the entire department as well as with the Product team, and all other parties who may have been involved. It's important to us to try to foster a culture where we can be open and honest about the circumstances surrounding failure, so that we can learn from them. At Spotify, there is a physical "Fail Wall" where failures are posted and celebrated[2]. This may seem strange, but it is important to realise that every failure is an opportunity to learn, and by distributing the results from the investigation as widely as possible we hope to do just that.

I am far from an expert on any fishing topic, particularly when it comes to flipping heavy cover. I have only just recently acquired a rod and reel, for this purpose, and the appropriate terminal tackle. My total "flipping heavy cover" experience totals about 8hrs, so I am not qualified to teach you about this topic. I would rather share with you what I have learnt over the last 2 weeks and hopefully you can get something valuable out of it.
It started at basswarehouse a few weeks ago when Bryan Leppan introduced me to the flipping bait that started it all: the sweet beaver. After seeing his excitement and watching a few videos I rigged up a new setup and was ready to go. Since then I have had 2 fishing sessions at Inanda dam and caught numerous fish over a kilo with the biggest being 2,3kg. I have also seen 50lb Braid break twice and had some tugs which could only be from large and very powerful bass. The strange part is that most of these fish were biting midday in blazing heat, when nothing else was working. So whats the secret? If there was a book called bass fishing for dummies (there probably is), this should be in the first chapter! With the right gear, anyone can do it![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="37" alignment="center" border_color="grey" img_link_target="_self"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_custom_heading text="FLIPPING:" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:left" google_fonts="font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"][vc_column_text]
A lot of people find flipping very daunting, as it seems to be something that's reserved for those super skilled pros like "Kevin Van Dam". But for me its much more simple: flipping is simply using the weight and swing of the lure to propel your lure into "hard to reach" places. I use a very simple technique to do this, which simply involves swinging the lure (using the rod) and releasing the line when the lure has the right speed, height and direction to propel it towards the targeted opening. I fish in a kick boat, so I have the advantage of being able to fish right up against cover and only having to flip 2 meters. Within a few tries you will be able to flip a suitable distance and with a few hours practice you will be flipping 6 meters into those small gaps, with minimal splash.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_custom_heading text="HEAVY COVER" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:left" google_fonts="font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"][vc_column_text]
I'm talking about the thickest cover you've ever seen, the type that you wouldn't even want your mother or father in law to get stuck in; bunches of weed, grass, branches (thorns can be a problem), reeds etc. This means heavy tackle: heavy cover hook, 3/8 ounce tungsten bullets, rubber stoppers (to pin your weight), 50lb braid, a solid casting reel with a strong drag and a heavy action rod with a fast or extra fast tip (I use a 7.2ft for ease of handling in a kickboat, but apparently thats too short). The lures I've used are the sweet beaver and the Xcite Bait's Raptor Tail Craw. Both of them are extremely effective and in both outings its been only minutes between bites.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_custom_heading text="Xcite Baits Raptor Tail Craw" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:center" google_fonts="font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"][vc_single_image image="39" alignment="center" border_color="grey" img_link_target="_self"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_custom_heading text="Punching Weight" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:center" google_fonts="font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"][vc_single_image image="38" alignment="center" border_color="grey" img_link_target="_self"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_custom_heading text="THE RETRIEVE:" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:left" google_fonts="font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"][vc_column_text]
This is the part where most fishing techniques get more complicated; not the case here. Lock down your drag, once you have flipped your bait into the cover just let it slide down to the bottom. Watch your line; If you feel that familiar tap or even sniff a fish on the other end, strike hard! If your lure stops on something that's not a fish try getting it deeper by lifting your rod and lowering it, while letting out more line. Make sure to keep in contact with the lure. If nothing takes try moving the lure up and down a few more times in that particular spot, to try and trigger the territorial nature of a nearby bass. When you are done your lure should slide right out, ready to be flipped into the next spot, maybe 1 or 2 meters away. Be warned though, often fish will take your bait and it will feel like you are stuck on something. The slightest movement of line or vibration will tell you whether its a fish or a snag.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_custom_heading text="THE CATCH:" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:left" google_fonts="font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"][vc_column_text]
This is the fun part: once you have a fish on you have to get its head towards you and pull! This means you can't afford to give the fish any leeway. If it turns it head and starts swimming, then unfortunately 50lb braid is not strong enough: kiss that fish goodbye! Pull hard from the word go, if all goes as planned you should be able to pull the fish through an opening and over the cover. If you are snagged then just hold the fish there, keeping the pressure on until the fish stops thrashing. Once the fish is tired, either you or preferably your fishing partner should dig it out. But never try and pull the line with your hand, no matter how close you are to the fish. Grab the fish by the lip or use lip grips.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="40" alignment="center" style="vc_box_rounded" border_color="grey" img_link_target="_self"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_column_text]
I hope this encourages you to go out and invade a Lunker's privacy. And if you are already doing it, then you know what I'm talking about and you will know the adrenaline rush that comes from hooking a wild Largie in what seems like an impossible situation.

Having amped up their spiral-eyed psychedelia with 80s synths and the dance tropes on 2011's Skying, the Horrors attempt to go one higher with Luminous. Essentially Skying II, Luminous shifts slightly from the oceanics that characterised Skying to themes around perception and astronomy. There are songs such as I See You (seven minutes, begins as oscillation, ends as woozy crescendo), In and Out of Sight (five minutes, begins as analogue systems music, becomes indie-dance-pop) and Falling Star (hazy riff-pop, through and through). Fans of altered guitar states will find much to shimmer along to here, not least the gnarly Jealous Sun. But having traded in all their early attitude for non-stop blissed-out jamming, the Horrors' default mode – equable lassitude – is beginning to pall a touch.
Luminous review – the Horrors' shtick begins to lose its lustre3 / 5 stars 3 out of 5 stars.

Kalahari Red Tea
Kalahari Limited
As far as I can tell, rooibos tea is pretty much rooibos tea, no matter who makes it. At least that's been my experience so far, just going on the evidence provided to me by my taste buds. Perhaps, upon further investigation, I'll find that there are high grades of rooibos and crappier grades. That research will have to wait for now.
The last rooibos I reviewed was from Twinings. Kalahari, which calls itself a "premium South African rooibos herb tea," does not taste noticeably different, though ideally, I should have done a side by side taste test. Kalahari also bills itself as "the original pure rooibos." The box offers no explanation for this claim, though it does point out that the "tea" is made using only the tips of the plants. So maybe there's something to the company's claim that it's a premium variety.
Founded by a Californian and a South African, Kalahari is distributed on these shores from a base in Atlanta, Georgia. I brewed a cup using almost boiling water and steeped it for about five minutes. Color and taste were about the same as any other rooibos I've sampled, but again, a side by side taste test might provide more accurate results.
Recommended, as are any of the rooibos brands I've tried thus far.
Contents: 20 tea bags in a box.
I paid: $2.79

One area that never ceases to amaze is that of public opinion. As an active voice for people with convictions, I was dumbstruck earlier this week when a tweet appeared on my timeline from a person I have never engaged with previously. The tweet was "informing" me of the online presence of a certain individual. Now, I am not one to encroach on other people's opinions, and like the proverbial rectum, we all have one and some are larger than others.
My ongoing research, digging into the CJS brings some unpleasant truths. There are crimes against children which are heinous, of this there is no doubt. I am a mother, I am a daughter and despite my fractured family circumstances, my emotional involvement with my family remains. A crime against a child can, and is never, condoned by me. As the modern gift of technology gives the public a voice, I enjoy the vehicles we have in order to voice our opinions, be those good, challenging or diametrically opposed. I am of the mind that being given the opportunity to re-think a matter is not a bad idea. It is a constant learning curve as I look into the dungeons of the CJS.
As the buzz of my phone told me there was a tweet to my account, I do look and I do read. The tweet, although inoffensive, was a polite tweet asking me if I knew who I was conversing with. I responded I was fully aware of whom I was conversing with. I added in the same question back to the person, in asking him if he knew he was conversing with a convicted fraudster. The account stated he didn't. But that there was a huge difference between fraud and offences of a sexual nature against children. I am impartial on this one. I don't condone any offence against a child sexual or otherwise. I also do not condone my own offences of fraud.
What then transpired was a clear attempt to rid Twitter of this individual. Every single follower of this account had the same tweet and those who defended their right to make their own choices were then accused of supporting child abuse, covering up child abuse and a string of profane tweets between a group of individuals who have posted the location of the account concerned and listed the individual on a website that screams "vigilantes". I was told my position "incensed" other people in that they were confused over my stance on those with convictions. Coupled with the profane tweets from "supporters" I made use of the block button fairly quickly. I do not feel harassed nor do I feel victimised by this unsavoury event. But there are some people one just cannot reason with.
Looking back and a further discussion with a friend, who received a separate attack due to her opinions on those who are falsely accused (proven in court by the way) of sexual offences and not necessarily against children, I am amazed not at this vigilante attack but at the insulting manner in which many people's chosen followers were questioned. Twitter is full of the human race, tweeting regularly on media matters, personal matters and a whole diverse range of subject matter from A-Z. Removing my opinion on vigilantism from the following, I felt one thing and only one thing. The moment a person questions who I follow is the moment a red flag appears and an attempt to control not only me, but many others who rightly so, follow and converse with whom they please. That is our right as human beings, it is not a right for others to question because that choice does not sit with their moral outrage at events.
Challenge my opinions by all means, challenge what I put out there, I am not adverse to discussion and debate about where I stand. But under no circumstances, attempt to clean up my choice over whom I follow and converse with. That smacks of control and an attempt to overrule people's right of choice. It is unacceptable and punitive behaviour.
There is a world of difference between being vigilant with our online presence, the footprint we leave behind and vigilantism. I respect people's choice to follow, unfollow or block whom they like and it is not my right to question their decision and nor would I ever want to insult their intelligence with such behaviour. Vigilantism is not an "ism" I am comfortable with and nor will I subscribe. I find the recent events of a cultish nature and we all know what a cult is. It is when there is not enough people to form a minority.

LINCOLN CHRISTIAN POLICY CENTER™ - Researching how Lincoln's Beliefs effected His Government;
INTRO to ALL LINCOLN PAGES:
More books have been written about "Honest Abe" than any other human being who ever lived - except Jesus Christ.
More statues have been erected to President Abraham Lincoln than any other person who ever lived . . . also excepting Jesus Christ!
Of thousands of Presidential Monuments in the USA dedicated to the 44 presidents:
>> One-third are dedicated to Abraham Lincoln,
>> One-third are to the Founding Fathers,
>> And one-third to all the rest.
On a world-wide stage, the difference is even more striking.
The statues in memory to Abraham Lincoln exceed all other USA presidents combined, several times over!
In fact, the books and statues to Abraham Lincoln exceed the books and statures for the other TOP-10 American Presidents - combined:
There is a 'Secret'!
There is a great secret! Abraham Lincoln was the original "Mr. Republican!" (and founder of the Republican Party) Lincoln was a man extremely dedicated to the following:
[2] Principles,
[3] Ideals . . .
RATHER THAN . . . just winning elections.
Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ, Compared for Students, Disciples: The Mystery of Lincoln's Attraction!
Jesus Christ!
. . . and there are 24,000-plus new Christian Titles in the USA each year, not to mention the many "Top-Sellers" that attract new readers year after year, plus the "Classics" that have been selling for centuries . . .
. . . from the Pilgrim's Bible (now 450 years old), the KJV Bible (400 years old in 2011) Pilgrims Progress (the largest selling book of all time after the Bible, Matthew Henry's Commentary and Adam Clarke's Commentaries (on every preacher's desk in the free world!)
. . . and this 24,000 new Christian Books is just from the USA alone!
. . . especially with the greatest Christian growth taking place in Hispanic-Latino Nations, China, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
At least one such researcher places the figures at 100 new books about Jesus every day, 100,000 new book titles per year, and a billion copies of the Words of Jesus EVERY YEAR, world-wide!
Additionally, there has been at least 'One-New-Book-Written-About-Jesus-Every-Day . . . For-Over-A-THOUSAND-YEARS'; with more statues erected to 'His Honor' in every land, than anyone can tell . . . because they are neither counted, nor known, for multitude.
What does this have to do with Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln, More Books about Him than Jesus Christ?
Lincoln: The World Studies Him!
[SOURCE: Craig Symonds, Author of "Lincoln, His Admirers"].
After Jesus, there have been more seekers, writers, readers and admirers about Abraham Lincoln - the humble, countrified, leader who never-even-attended-grade-school - much less college!
Abraham Lincoln, somewhat 'ill-bred' (crude, some declared!) but born and raised in a 'three-sided-log cabin' (the fourth side open to winds, rains and the winter elements; the family protected by a fire from the panthers and bears prowling at night!
Yet Lincoln has been studied, written and read about more than any other human being:
>> more than any King, Pharaoh, Caesar, or Czar;
>> more than any Dictator, Emperor, President or Prime Minister;
>> more than any Shah, Ayatollah, Imam or General of Armies;
>> more than any Scientist, Philosopher, Musician, Sports or TV Star;
>> In fact - according to some research - there have been more books about Lincoln than all other US Presidents: combined!
Thus by so many searching-and-researching Lincoln's Life, everything knowable should already be known:
NOT correct!
If you inquire about Abraham Lincoln's faith, you will find every position of faith possible postulated and thus attributed: from Angry-Atheist and Super-Skeptic to Antagonistically-Agnostic and Doubting-Deist;
From Trusting-Theist and Effervescent-Evangelical to unaffiliated yet Fervently-Faithful to God, His Christ, His Word, His people, His Church and His day . . . those supporting EACH POSITION have a dozen personal "quotes" to prove their particular point of view.
"What is Truth?" Pilate asked Jesus!

Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, offered some insightful remarks at this year's GodBlogCon, a conference for Christian bloggers (which, ironically, was held this year in Las Vegas). In talking about the need for Christian to communicate everywhere--including blogs--he stated:
The Christian faith is actually tied to words and without apology, the Christian faith is tied to communication. ... And thus, we are here not merely as Christians but as Christian communicators.Amen! Our calling as Christians is one of being Christian communicators. After all, we are God's ambassadors to the world. The way we talk and act sends messages to those around us. Thus, it is critically important that we send messages that draw them closer to God instead of driving them away. This concept that Christians have an automatic calling as communicators is what drove me to write my book (For God's Sake, Shut Up!).

Teen Leadership Opportunities in Colorado!
The Knight CIT offering at Renaissance Adventures is a unique leadership program where the teens become the mentor to a group of younger kids and assistant to our adult counselors. By engaging in one of our exciting programs (such as Adventure Quest), Knight CITs help with activities, challenges, storytelling, plot dynamics, characters, safety, and leadership.
To be a Knight CIT, the teen must be at least 14 years old, have passed Knighthood Training, and be in good standing.
Knighthood Training Details
- 2019 Dates: For Boulder: Monday, June 3 through Friday, June 7. For Denver: Monday, June 10 through Friday, June 14.
- Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm.
- Location: Meet near the main entrance of the Boulder Public Library (Arapahoe side) or at Denver Waldorf School.
- Price: $200. All Knight CITs must own an Adventure Quest Game Book (available for purchase through the registration page).
- Register: Enroll online and find "Knighthood Training" during "Week 2 at Central Boulder" or "Week 3 at Denver Waldorf."
All would-be and current Knights (including Master and Grandmaster Knights) must attend Knighthood Training, with some exceptions (see "Squires" below). Renaissance Adventures does not offer any other time to become a Knight CIT except during training. However, those that passed Knighthood Training during a previous year may be able to keep their Knighthood rank for the current year without joining training if they have demonstrated adequate scores on their Knight CIT Evaluations. This is not recommended and should only be considered if the teen cannot attend the training.
Training Packet
Download our Knight CIT Packet with information about the program, including training details, expectations and tips for how to be a good CIT. It includes a questionnaire for the Knight-to-be to fill out and give back to us.
Teens that do not pass the Knighthood Test, who are not yet 14, and/or who are unable to attend Knighthood Training may request to be a Squire. Being a Squire is not an official program – it requires special registration by contacting the RA office. Squires act in the same capacity as a Knight even though they have not attended Training or taken the Knighthood Test. In order to request the title of Squire, the participant must qualify through one of these three options:
- A Knight CIT Trainer must determine that the teen demonstrates Knight-like abilities during a week or two of actual programs, and/or
- The Squire lives over 20 miles from the training location. In this case, the teen must have been a Quester at least twice, and the Quest Leaders must verify that the teen makes a good candidate.
- The Squire may undergo a one-week trial period at the price of a Quester to demonstrate that he or she would make a good Knight. At the end of the trial week, the Quest Leader decides whether the Squire can join as a Knight at apprentice rank, needs one more week as a Squire for proper evaluation, or is not yet ready to become a Knight. If a Squire is enrolled for more than one week, future weeks registered as a Knight are dependent upon the Squire trial period.
Program Locations
Knighthood Training happens once a year, in early summer at Central Boulder.
After attending training, Knight CITs can sign up to accompany a group of Questers at these locations:
Program Details
Ages 14 to 18 years old (may train at age 13)
Assists Quest Leader in mentoring groups of ~6 questers
Opportunities to develop storytelling, acting, and leadership skills
Opportunities to create interesting challenges & develop characters
Grouped with preferred age of students, when possible
For other teen programs, see Friday Game Night. See also options for Alumni
See details & dates of upcoming programs:
Ready to sign up?
Renaissance Adventures has been a replacement for the Boy Scouts for us. A counterpoint to our hi-tech environment. It is a way for our son to learn teamwork and outdoorsman skills in an imaginative, enchanting way. It's like having a nintendo adventure game experience offscreen in real time! Thanks for providing this fine opportunity.

It's been five years to the day since Apple first launched the App Store for the iPhone.
To commemorate the anniversary, Dan Frommer has put up a post on SplatF summarizing who's come out on top and who's taken a serious beating from the introduction of the App Store's model for releasing software.
The obvious winner is Apple. Besides giving consumers a huge reason to buy the iPhone, the company also takes in 30% of the revenue from apps sold through the App Store.
Developers and users also get a huge benefit from the existence of the App Store. Rather than having to sell their software for high prices on their own websites, developers have direct access to millions of people who are interested in buying apps. This lets users buy a wide range of useful apps for low prices with far less effort than was required in the past.
Google has also done rather well thanks to the App Store. While the company's Play store isn't doing as well as Apple's offering, Google makes a ton of money from mobile app advertising on both stores thanks to its purchase of AdMob back in 2009.
One of the biggest losers is Microsoft. While the company is still huge and profitable, it has failed to gain traction in the mobile space with either its phone or tablet software and the PC has lost a lot of relevancy. For instance, if you count the iPad as a PC, Apple has been the largest PC seller in the world for some time now.
Big-budget game publishers like Electronic Arts (best known for the Madden and Sims game series) have also taken a beating from the rise of the App Store. Many casual gamers don't want to spend upwards of $50 for a game when they can pay as little as $0.99 for a mobile title that will provide hours of entertainment anywhere.

Judge a Book by Its Cover
I judge people; however, I don't judge simply by appearances as so many do. I judge based on the placement of body and the way their eyes shift or by a nervous tick in their jaw. People can give away so much without saying a word and that is what I find amusing.
Flicker, flicker. The cold, metal rail I clutch offers the stability I need as the subway lurches along, delivering the subjects of my thoughts to their destinations. The gentleman to my right clearly expects a promotion today. The normal, mundane black suit is spotless as always, but he has an almost imperceptible smile that borders on cocky to match the gleam in his eye. He sits tall on the plastic seat, so at odds with the teenager in sweats sitting next to him. I let my gaze study this person for a moment before reaching my conclusion. Student, on break for the holiday as Christmas swiftly approaches. Headphones are the cause of the incessant head bobbing and his fingers tap the gray fabric as if trying to keep the beat. Most likely the son of a wealthy investor who has no use for a job and is heading for that convenience store downtown where he can flash a fake ID and get a pack of cheap beer.
Screech, lurch, screech, stop. As the subway doors open, a flood of people step out as more come in, and they all transform into salmon attempting to swim upstream. Everyone is in each other's way, and there's that moment of panic that the doors of the car will slam shut and deny you access. As always everyone makes it in who can, and the anxious breath releases from your lungs. Shifting my purse to my other shoulder, I take in this new group of humanity determined to learn their stories before the next stop.
Lurch. A heavy shoulder pushes into mine, almost buckling my knees with the force of both man and subway.
"Pardon me", a voice speaks. Regaining my footing, I look up to see hazel eyes that peer out from a wool hat tugged low and a scarf covering half a face.
"No problem," I hear myself say. As quickly as he had come, he moves on, sidestepping passengers and moving down the car. He isn't wearing professional clothing. Blue collar? A brown, leather messenger bag swings from his shoulder. Student? He strikes up a conversation with a middle aged woman who has her hair tied in a tight bun. Even in her flats she is pointing her toes, and her impeccable posture concludes: ballet mistress.
What is it about subways that bring people together? Strangers from various countries and all professions of life swirl in the melting pot of the underground train. And that's where I come into play. Julianne Winters, assistant manager of Barnes and Noble in Manhattan near the Upper East Side, author of every person on this subway.
I stroll nonchalantly through the store, eyeing shoppers and potential buyers who peruse books like ancient artifacts. As I walk I attempt to figure out each character in this store. To my right, a woman in her late twenties, around my age, reads the back of a fitness book. Her slightly chunky body reveals her desire to lose weight. The next aisle down showcases an elderly gentleman, fishing cap on head and a slight limp as he walks. Fisherman and a war veteran. The sound of my heels clicking on the tile floor is drowned out by the wail of an infant, and I soon see a slightly frazzled young woman cradling the child. By all appearances she was too young to be a mother, so I conclude she must be one of the highly paid nannies of the Upper East Side.
Arriving at the back end of the store where my office was located, I almost didn't stop until an object in my periphery caught my attention. Pivoting, I peered through the line of customers waiting for their order at the café and slowly walked forward. There. Sitting at the middle chair, coffee cup to his right and laptop comfortably on his lap, was the man from the subway. I recognized the wool hat, although it wasn't pulled down so far. The scarf lay across the back of the plush chair while a slight smile lit his face as he focused on the screen of his computer. Who was he? It irked me that I had never taken notice of him before, or maybe it was the fact that I couldn't put a pin on his character.
"Julianne?" Startled, I turn and nearly bump into the manager.
"Oh, good morning, Sharon."
Ah, Sharon. She was an easy character to understand. Keeping up on recent events and world news, she was a fountain of information but quirky as the day is long, which explained her vintage suits and 80's haircut. How we became fast friends, I'll never know, especially in light of the fact she was thirty years my senior.
"What are you staring at, darling?" she inquired. My gaze went back to the mysterious man and she chuckled. "Ah, I see…you know, for a self-proclaimed celibate I'm surprised to see he's garnered your attention."
I sighed, somewhat impatiently. "Sharon, I've told you before many times. I'm not a self-proclaimed celibate; I'm a woman who is focused on her career who happens to be single and with no interest in a relationship. You gave me that title on your own." I began my walk to the office again, leaving Sharon to trail me.
"Oh, I know, dear. But what harm would there be to initiate at least a conversation?"
I swirled back around with a smirk on my face. "Sharon. You ask me this every Monday morning as if something grand happened over the weekend. I just don't have the time nor the inclination to be in a relationship. I like men perfectly well, but I like my career more. Is that such a crime?"
She placed her hands on her slim hips and her hot pink lips puckered. "No…" she groused. "But I know you were here on Saturday. I saw the time cards from the past week when I came in this morning. You're a workaholic, you know that?"
I smiled. "Sharon, you can try to label me all you want. I know you're just trying to help me create a social life, and I appreciate that. But having this store and you are plenty for me."
She shook her head and sighed. "Fine, you win. But I won't give you a raise until you speak with that man out there."
I looped an arm through hers. "That's blackmail, you know. And I won't fall for it." H
Her soft hands patted mine. "You need the challenge, dear girl. I don't think I'm quite enough for you."
I could barely smile as her statement barbed. Workaholic… no one can place a label on me.
The gray dragon swallowed up people a little after five o'clock, marking the end of another Monday. I shifted my purse strap on my shoulder, securing it as we jostled back and forth to find a spot to sit or stand. I took my usual place, clutching the hand rail and began my scan from left to right. A little girl, probably around five or six judging from the way her eyes shifted from me to her mother, sat swinging her legs. Most likely in school all day and then to daycare, wanting to get home and eat dinner. Her mother is a waitress, and the dark circles under her eyes indicate the day is not over. She probably has a night shift she works, too.
Almost directly across from me stands a young man of Hispanic descent, a lecherous grin on his lips. The wink he gave me and comfortable slouch suggests a cockiness that isn't easily swayed. I looked away before he could perform the vulgar motion I knew he was about to direct toward me. There were quite a few white collars on the subway today, some chatting with another, talking on blue tooth, or drumming fingers on briefcases. There was an air of tension and sophistication, as if each individual thought they carried the weight of the world or were expected to.
Suddenly, I saw him. The man that bumped into me that morning and who was sitting at the café in the store. He was speaking with a business man, quite engaged in their conversation. He seemed at ease but kept a hand protectively over his computer bag. Why couldn't I figure out who he was? Life is like a poker game where people have a "tell" when it comes to their profession or way of life. It's either in their posture, their clothing, their body language, or how they communicate. This particular man had clothing that was in juxtaposition to his designer computer bag, and the carefree nature in which he initiated conversations with strangers belied the heaviness of the air around him. Who was he?
Weeks went by and the Christmas holiday marked the passage of time. Business went as usual in the store and I found myself getting…bored. Not by life in general but by the people in life. The thrill of judging one's way of life had continued to seep out of me ever since I laid eyes on the man in the subway. He was the ever-present thought in my subconscious and I did not want to simply know who he was and move on, but I wanted to know what he thought and how he saw people.
This particular afternoon I was about to check on a display for the midwinter season when I saw him again! Much to my chagrin, I ducked behind a shelf of self-help books. I cocked an eyebrow. How ironic.
As he walked confidently across the tan and green tile of the main aisle towards the café, his computer bag slapped his left thigh, keeping rhythm with his gait. He stood behind the first customer, scanning the blackboard above him. When it was his turn, he greeted the barista and ordered a coffee and some kind of soup, then sat down at the nearest available chair. I shook my head. I was acting like a child! I was the assistant manager for goodness' sake, and I was a confident businesswoman! Straightening my dark purple, knee length shift and rubbing my hands down the mesh sleeves, I gathered my courage and determined that my curiosity would carry me through my nervousness.
His tanned hands tugged a black laptop out of the bag, and he opened the top then turned on the power. After that he fished around in an outside pocket and removed a tape recorder, then proceeded to reveal a notebook as well. I slowly ascended the short staircase to the café, keeping my eyes on this stranger. The closer I came, I mentally rehearsed what I would say…hello? Nice to meet you? May I ask what you're doing? No…I'll simply ask him how his service was and if he was enjoying his meal. Then I could ask him what he does with that laptop. But with more subtlety.
"Good morning." I flashed a smile, attempting my best to use charm. He raised those hazel eyes to me and my stomach flipped involuntarily when I saw the depth in them. A beautiful smile graced the width of a tan face, and his coffee-colored hair was stylishly cut.
"Morning," he replied, then squinted. "Aren't you…the girl I bumped into on the subway the other day?"
I chuckled. "Actually, that was a couple of weeks ago. But time has a habit of passing quickly when you're occupied. I actually wanted to ask how your service was today and if there's anything I else I can offer you." I wrapped my hands around each other, determined not to pull on the ends of my hair as I was prone to do when nervous.
"It is excellent, thank you. Are you the manager?" He took a sip of coffee.
"No, assistant manager. I do hope to be manager one day. Being in charge of all these books is wonderful." I made a sweeping motion with my hand and felt pride rise within me.
"Manager of a book store, huh? I'd love to interview you sometime. You could be another character in my novel."
I took a step forward with this declaration. "You're a writer," I said, more a statement than a question. That's why I couldn't label him. He lived a varied lifestyle, delving into the minds and worlds of people around him, seeking their story.
"Yes, I am. Well, budding writer, I should say. I was in the seminary at St. Joseph's north of the Bronx, but I'm taking a year off to do mission work through St. Patrick's cathedral and discern my vocation. It's also giving me the time to dig deeper into writing and discovering the inhabitants of this great city."
I nodded. "I try to figure out people, too, but it's not always easy. I need time to read them before they pass me, but most of the time I take a wild guess." The enthusiasm bubbling up inside me quickly dissipated as I saw…disapproval emanating from those captivating eyes.
"You judge people before you even speak with them?" His question cut me to the quick, forcing a blush to my cheeks.
"Well…I…I can't help it. It's what I do. It's what I've always done."
He interlaced his fingers in front of the keyboard. "Tell me, do you judge a book by its cover?" My hesitation prompted him to continue. "How do you know what's inside the book if you simply glance at the outside? You could pass up the opportunity to read the greatest book in the world all because you weren't attracted to the cover. That would be a pretty disappointing thing, wouldn't it?"
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. The blush on my face caused a lump to form in my throat while tears threatened to spill. I had never had someone challenge me before like this, and it made me appear…shallow. Cold and calculating…inhumane to a degree. I was reducing a human being's existence to the notions I created.
He cleared his throat, as if sensing my discomfort. "But here I am, being rude in my own way by lecturing you when I didn't even tell you my name. I'm Simon, though you probably have no interest in learning my name anymore." The boyish smile on his face that no doubt charmed girls and women alike simply added to the embarrassment gnawing at my gut.
"Julianne," I murmured, pivoting and descending the short staircase. I thought I heard him utter another social formality such as, "nice to meet you", but at the moment all I cared about was making it to my office without shedding tears profusely.
How had I done it? My life up until that moment was a whirlpool of judgement and cynicism. Sitting on the slightly worn carpet in the living room of my flat, I played with the floppy ears of my oldest stuffed animal, Scooter the dog. He stared back at me as I kept myself propped up with the matching pillows of my indoor décor set. Why wasn't I sitting on my hand-me-down couch from my parents? I think I wanted to make myself uncomfortable. But my flat was anything but uncomfortable, because my parents had set me up in a contemporary complex that was fitting for an assistant manager of B&N. Although some of the furniture used to be theirs, it was still in tiptop shape. I scanned the room back and forth. Maybe it was the lifestyle I was born into and the lifestyle I created. I saw things for their net worth. Was Simon right? Was I cheating myself out of learning all about the adventures of life? Even if I didn't experience them personally, I could learn so much simply by listening to other people's stories.
I wanted more. I wanted more than just seeing a person's outward appearance. I wanted to see inside their souls. I had never been one to go to church except for special occasions, but I liked to think there was more to this life than just the everyday. There had to be something…after it all. Why else would I be feeling this desire to learn about a person's soul? I think I had been afraid…afraid of what I might find in myself and see how much I was lacking. I ran a hand over Scooter's still-fluffy fur. Tomorrow was a new day, and I was determined to start fresh.
The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted over me as I skirted around customers, almost giddy at the prospect of starting anew. My heart fluttered disappointedly when I thought I didn't see Simon, but I caught sight of him sitting farther back than the prior week. I had taken time to really think about what Simon said to me and examine how I was leading my life. I had even begun to flip through a couple of Christian books, skimming passages here and there and finding comfort in their words. I had so many questions. Locking in on Simon, I giggled at the concentrated look of his face, fingers flying over the keys of his laptop. I plunked down in the chair across from him and smiled, relishing the look of surprise and delight on his handsome face.
"Hi, I'm Julianne. I'd really like to hear your story." I clasped my hands on my knees and waited. It was time to listen.

Hi! I'm Nunzio Bruno, the founder of The Disruptive Strategy Co., and I have spent almost a decade as a professor teaching business concepts, theories and practicals to college students (including MBA's) and business owners all over the country.
It's my mission to help you make better business decisions so that you can create and sustain the growth you want in your business.
Have you ever read a really great business growth article or heard a great business story and think to yourself:
- How can I apply this to my business?
- My business is too small to try that?
- How can I get more people to pay attention to me?
- What are the tactics or actions to actually make my business grow?
- I tried a SWOT analysis once and it didn't work.
- I'm too busy running my business to think about growing it.
Growing a business means deliberately choosing between what to do and what not to do. As an entrepreneur you are pouring your heart, your time, your money, and sometimes even your relationships into your business and the choices aren't always easy to make. Wouldn't it be nice to know that every choice you make is a deliberate and measurable attempt to grow your business?
I got your back!
How This Site Will Help You Grow Your Business
This site is committed to demystifying the business growing process so that you can systematically make better decisions and to grow your business everyday. That means I am pulling proven growth strategies out of classrooms and boardrooms and making it available to anyone trying to build a business - of any size. I'll do my best to leave out the corporate jargon and buzzwords so that I can deliver earnest strategic and tactical concepts that you can take action on right away.
Think about the last time you had to make a choice in your business. Did you wing it? Did you think about how your competitors would respond? Your customers? Did you know what market or industry you are actually competing in? It's in answering these questions, and a whole lot more, that you will find opportunities to differentiate and create so much awesome value that you can't be ignored/replaced.
Learning how to apply growth concepts, using the right tools, and following through on the right actions will position your business to get the biggest return out of your resources. It's about using all the "stuff" in your business to create as much value and capture as much profit as possible.

About Nunzio Bruno
Hi again. Still Nunzio Bruno here. I've been working to help businesses develop and achieve growth, as well being a business professor, for the better part of a decade. On my adventure, I've had the opportunity to do some strategy work for LEGO and a few other big name companies. I've also contributed to some pretty interesting places like: Executive Forum Magazine, Personal Branding Magazine, Nathan Hanagan's Building Digital Empires Blog, Wealth Pilgrim and Financial Samurai. Even authored a weekly column in The Boston Globe for a stint with a weekly readership of over 120,000.
Teaching is part of my identity. I don't want anyone to go through some of the early experiences I had in the business world. Teaching people to build better businesses is important to me because I've been on the receiving end of a business that had no plan, no mission, and provided no real value. It was not fun.
My passion is to help you build businesses and help you build solid business foundations. Building businesses that are sustainable, businesses that scale, and that help provide a life for you while you are providing value.
I also know that there are only so many hours in the day so if you stick around I promise to keep putting only the most important information in front of you.
The very best part (this one is for me) is I get to keep being a "Sage on the Stage" but instead of talking to a class or a client I'll be talking to you!

Zhangcha duck, or tea-smoked duck, is a famous Sichuan dish. It is cooked by hot smoking a marinated duck over tea leaves and twigs of the camphor plant. Due to its complicated preparation, zhangcha duck is eaten more often in banquets or festive events than as a daily household item.
Sichuan pepper, huangjiu or baijiu (fermented or distilled Chinese alcoholic beverages), ginger, garlic, and salt.
1. Prepare the Marinated combination of crushed Sichuan pepper, huangjiu or baijiu (fermented or distilled Chinese alcoholic beverages), ginger, garlic, and salt.
2. Open a small mouth at the back of the duck and remove the viscer, and clean.
Cooking steps:
1. Wipe the marinated combination to the whole duck, and with much of it rubbed inside the cavity of the duck for about 30 mins- 1 hour.
2. Then, put the duck into boiled water to tighten the skin, and then take out and drain the water(to ensure the skin of duck has a crisp snap upon completion.).
3. A wok is then prepared for smoking the duck with black tea leaves and camphor twigs and leaves. Following a smoke treatment of approximately 10-15 minutes, the duck is then steamed for another 10 minutes before being deep fried in vegetable oil until its skin is crisp.
The duck is consumed wrapped in clam-shaped buns called gebao (割包).
