So, there was consumer credit before BankAmericard!And then one day the populace saw on his office door, beneath his name-board, another sign:
FIVE TOWNS UNIVERSAL THRIFT CLUB. Secretary and Manager— E.H. MACHIN.
An idea had visited him....
....He would encourage thrift in the working-man and the working-man's wife. He would guard the working-man's money for him; and to save trouble to the working-man he would call at the working-man's door for the working-man's money. Further, as a special inducement and to prove superior advantages to ordinary slate-clubs, he would allow the working man to spend his full nominal subscription to the club as soon as he had actually paid only half of it. Thus, after paying ten shillings to Denry, the working-man could spend a pound in Denry's chosen shops, and Denry would settle with the shops at once, while collecting the balance weekly at the working-man's door. But this privilege of anticipation was to be forfeited or postponed if the working-man's earlier payments were irregular.
And Denry would bestow all these wondrous benefits on the working-man without any charge whatever. Every penny that members paid in, members would draw out. The affair was enormously philanthropic.
Denry's modest remuneration was to come from the shopkeepers upon whom his scheme would shower new custom. They were to allow him at least twopence in the shilling discount on all transactions, which would be more than 16 per cent. on his capital; and he would turn over his capital three times a year. He calculated that out of 50 per cent. per annum he would be able to cover working expenses and a little over....
...Denry began to suffer from the ravages of a malady which is almost worse than failure—namely, a surfeit of success.... Denry ought to have been happy.... But he was not happy. And the reason was that the popularity of the Thrift Club necessitated much book-keeping, which he hated.
He was an adventurer, in the old honest sense, and no clerk. And he found himself obliged not merely to buy large books of account, but to fill them with figures; and to do addition sums from page to page; and to fill up hundreds of cards; and to write out lists of shops, and to have long interviews with printers whose proofs made him dream of lunatic asylums; and to reckon innumerable piles of small coins; and to assist his small office-boy in the great task of licking envelopes and stamps. Moreover, he was worried by shopkeepers; every shopkeeper in the district now wanted to allow him twopence in the shilling on the purchases of club members....
My pal David E. Davis had loaned me this car ... spent a bazillon restoring it ... And now David, who was behind me in a magnificent Mark IX Jaguar, would soon see his dream dashed to pieces -- no figure of speech -- at the bottom of a canyon. We get up, go into the office and manage bazillion-dollar portfolios whether we're frightened or not, or in this case clamber back behind the wheel. ... And we hardly ever let on that risking other people's money is nine-tenths of the fun.
S. C. Gwynne's Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.
Against this backdrop Gwynne presents the compelling drama of Cynthia Ann Parker, a lovely nine-year-old girl with cornflower-blue eyes who was kidnapped by Comanches from the far Texas frontier in 1836. She grew to love her captors and became infamous as the "White Squaw" who refused to return until her tragic capture by Texas Rangers in 1860. More famous still was her son Quanah, a warrior who was never defeated and whose guerrilla wars in the Texas Panhandle made him a legend.

johnep wrote:Immoderate Greatness - Why Civilizations Fail by William Ophuls
This is a short book of 70 pages and the author lays out the factors that cause all civilizations to fail. It is not specific to any one civilization but makes the point that it is inevitable for all civilizations to fail due to these factors and weaknesses in humanity that all civilizations have in common. He presents a very plausible argument and I can see some of this from my own experience and observation. Some of his comments are eerily on target with our modern civilization, especialy Western civilization.
*Immoderate Greatness* explains how a civilization's very magnitude conspires against it to cause downfall. Civilizations are hard-wired for self-destruction. They travel an arc from initial success to terminal decay and ultimate collapse due to intrinsic, inescapable biophysical limits combined with an inexorable trend toward moral decay and practical failure. Because our own civilization is global, its collapse will also be global, as well as uniquely devastating owing to the immensity of its population, complexity, and consumption. To avoid the common fate of all past civilizations will require a radical change in our ethos—to wit, the deliberate renunciation of greatness—lest we precipitate a dark age in which the arts and adornments of civilization are partially or completely lost.
Sid wrote:"A Feast of Crows" by George R. R. Martin. The 4th book in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. I am really enjoying this series. What blows my mind is that I am an avid reader and yet I didn't know about these well written books until HBO did the TV series Game of Thrones based upon the novels. And yet the first book was published in 1996. It is funny how you can always be on the lookout for good books and yet miss something this obvious. These stories are kind of like a cross between the more adult versions of the King Arthur novels (Bernard Cornwell) and the Lord of the Rings novels with more violence and sex thrown in for good measure.
"Invisible Armies: An epic history of guerilla warfare from ancient times to the present" by Max Boot. I particularly enjoy learning ancient to medieval history which this book covers, but most of its emphasis is on recent history (1500 to present). Of course, that is where you would find the most written records.

The Berenstain Bears' Computer Trouble
The Berenstain Bears' Computer Trouble (Hardcover)
When Papa brings home a computer, the whole family is excited. Soon Mama, Brother, Sister, and even Honey start spending all day every day staring at their own computers. It's up to Papa to get the family off the computer and back into the real world!
About the Author
Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 250 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' interest in children's books has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.
Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter bookseven a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.
Since Stan's death at age eighty-two in 2005, Jan and Mike have continued to write and illustrate wonderful new adventures for Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear. They live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Bear Country.

How Many Reloaders?
Techniques for Reloading, Loads, Equipment, etc... Bullets are getting expensive, save by reloading
8 posts • Page 1 of 1
How Many Reloaders?
How many reloaders on here?
I've thought about it but just don't shoot enough to make it worth my while.
If guns kill people then pencils mis spell words..
Hoyt Alpha Max 35 29" @65#
60" Checkmate Recurve 49# @ 28"
Benelli Super Black Eagle 24" Barrel
H&R 20ga. Ultra Slug Gun
CVA Optima Pro 45cal.
I usually shoot quite a bit so I load for 45-70, 45-60, 38-55, 30-30, 300 mag, .220 Swift, .223, .45 long colt, .44 mag and .38 Spl. Also cast my own bullets for the majority of them to save money.
Re: How Many Reloaders?
I've been at it for over twenty years. Started helping my dad at ten years old or so and been loving it since. It's kind of like tying flies. You can probably buy ammo cheaper when all is said in done ( or not) but it's more fun and satisfying rolling your own.
Re: How Many Reloaders?
been reloading for 20 years.
Terry Patrick
Re: How Many Reloaders?
22-250 man here. longest shot with my loads is 398 yards.
Re: How Many Reloaders?
Been reloading for about 25 years. Mostly rifle and pistol.
Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage.
Re: How Many Reloaders?
Reloader and Bullet Caster here.
I do both 12 and 20 gauge shotshells and slugs with my own slug casting. I also do .300 Win Mag, 30-06, 270 Win, .38 and 357 mag, 44 mag, 40 S&W, and 9mm. I also cast several different muzzleloader bullets.

Backstage Broadcast
Listen to a behind-the-scenes interview with set designer Sarah Rozene and costume designer Deirdre McCabe.
Saturday Night
Book by Julius J. Epstein
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Based on the play "Front Porch in Flatbush" by Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein
Directed by Eric Hill
October 16-26, 2008
Laurie Theater
Lighting Design by Michael Jarett, MFA '07
Musical director Matthew Stern '08
Choreography by Hannah King '07
Twenty-three year old Stephen Sondheim penned his first musical based on the play "Front Porch in Flatbush" by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein (Boston Red Sox GM Theo Epstein's grandfather and great-uncle!) in 1954. But this lost musical was never publicly performed until 1997 and received its New York premiere in 2000. In this light-hearted musical comedy, occurring over three successive Saturday nights in 1929 in Brooklyn, an ambitious group of young men find themselves restless and worse, date-less. Gene, a Wall Street runner in the market frenzy before the crash, has dreams that reach far beyond Brooklyn and drive him into deceiving Helen, who has secrets of her own, into thinking he is someone he will never be and luring his friends into the financial foolishness of the time, coming close to paying the consequences of his deceit. Youthful innocence and a simpler time make Sondheim's first musical a delight for all and a must-see for the Sondheim aficionado.
Made possible through generous support from the Robin, Barbara and Malcolm L. Sherman Endowment for the Performing Arts.

Anything can happen after dark . . .
Tired of being treated like a servant by her own family, Lady Jane Guthrie finally has a chance to escape . . . at least for one night. Attired in a daring gown, she arrives at a scandalous courtesans' masquerade ball looking forward to her few hours of freedom. But when she sees Seth Rutledge, her skin begins to tingle with anticipation. Many years ago, Seth broke her heart by falling for her beautiful, title-hungry sister. But now here he is, right in front of her, offering her his lips . . .
Embittered by war, Seth returns home to inherit the title that would have once won him the woman of his dreams. Though duty demands he wed, he's convinced passion no longer has a place in his life . . . until a masked siren sets his heart aflame. Desperate to find her again, he has no idea it's his childhood friend Jane—and that after one night together their lives will never be the same.

Brophy Takes Player of the Week Honors for Men's Volleyball; Falcons On Verge of Clinching First-Ever Regular Season Title
April 3, 2012
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Men's Volleyball Player of the Week during week number six of the 2012 season. Brophy helped the Falcons to a 3-1 week in league play giving the Falcons at-least a share of the Conference Carolinas regular season title and home-court advantage in the first round of the league's tournament.
Brophy put down 13 kills in the Falcons' only league loss of the season at Limestone popping up 16 digs and leading the way with his 14 points. In a five-set win at King, Brophy scored 17 kills with 18 points, another match high. Taking on Mount Olive at home he hit a match-high .524 with 13 kills as the Falcons rolled the two-time defending league champs 3-0.
Hosting Lees-McRae, Brophy again took over with 16 kills hitting .400 adding seven more digs and match-high 18 points. In all four matches, Brophy led with his point totals on the night. For the week he hit .308 with 59 kills while recording 28 digs averaging just fewer than two a set. He also led the way with his 64 points averaging just over four points per set.
Brophy and the Falcons can clinch the outright regular season title and home court advantage throughout the playoffs on April 11th hosting Barton for senior night. The Falcons are currently 18-6 on the season, 8-1 in conference play.

So Psycho-Pass turned out to be... a bit crap, to be honest. A yawnsome romp through a generic dystopia which at this point just seems to be a less fun version of Minority Report. It's got some gratuitous gore and sexual violence just to make sure you know that it's GRITTY and MATURE and the law is opressive and amoral because it's the future and for some reason everything always has to suck in the future despite the fact that in real world history, going forward along the timeline will show a fairly reliable picture of moral progress (seriously, that's been bothering me recently, do we as a species have so little faith in ourselves that we think that the future being a tyrannical dystopia is completely inevitable? Because that's the message fiction tends to send out). Since it's Urobuchi, I'll give this show a little bit more of a chance than I'd normally give to this kind of childish dross but the prognosis isn't good*.
As for Robotics;Notes, the other noitaminA show, I put some brief thoughts in the thread for it (spoilers: I liked it).
*EDIT: Also, a training academy that teaches you literally nothing to prepare you for the job you're training for? My brain only just caught up to how monumentally stupid that is.

Flower Picture Diary
Each week I will be uploading new pictures of my plants - as they grow. Please e-mail your own plant pictures to me.
Weekly updates:
23/03/09 Throughout this week all of my daffodils have opened. They are all standing proudly in my garden, the tallest measures 35cms in height. Many more of you have reported your daffodil flowers opening this week and finally your crocuses have opened too! See the and to compare other schools with your own. This is the last week for recording temperatures and rainfall - so please send in all your records before the Easter holidays then I will send you your certificates on the 5th of April.
17/03/09 My 1st daffodil opened today!
13/03/09 This week my daffodils have grown lots. I'm sure they will flower over this weekend! So far, the findings this year are very interesting. All schools are reporting that daffodils are coming before the crocus - which is very unusual and has not happened before in this study! Also, all our flowers seem to be around three weeks later than usual, which has also been reported by the Really Welsh farmers! But why?...
The cold weather this winter has meant that our bulbs were exposed to frost. Frost can slow down a flower's development or even damage a flower and prevent it from flowering. Bulbs in pots are particularly vulnerable.
But why did most of the crocus come later than the daffodil? In short, the frost had a more damaging affect on the crocus because the bulbs are smaller and not so tough. The frost also came at a bad time for the crocus when it was almost ready to flower.
04/03/09 Lots of my crocus flowers have appeared and my daffodils are beggining to shoot up too. I took some close-ups of the crocus flowers today because they look so pretty - covered in dew drops.
I've studied the average flowering dates for this year and see that in many schools it is the daffodils that have opened 1st. The crocus have only opened in two places - my garden and Burton School. Normally, it is the crocus that open 1st? Take a look at the and for yourself.
23/02/09 Today, my 1st crocus flower opened! Lots of other flowers have shot up too - but only one has actually opened. In the sunlight you can see through the petals to see the orange anthers inside. My daffodils have grown quite a lot this week, the tallest is now 18cms tall. See the - some daffodils have opened at Oakfield Primary School in Cardiff too! Have any of your flowers opened yet?
19/02/09 Hi Bulb buddies! Welcome back from your half term break. In my garden, things have really started to grow. What was a tiny green bud, has transformed into a beautiful purple flower. It's still not open yet - when it looks like this you should send your flowering date to the immmediately. Then a flower symbol will appear above your school on the and the average flowering date for your school will appear on the .
In , in Pembrokeshire one of their daffodils has already opened - unsually before the crocus. I'm going to be watching my Crocus everyday now so i can catch the flowering - I hope you can do the same!
10/02/09 The shoots are now 2-3cm tall. This is small for this time of year - because we have had such a cold spring. At this time last year the crocus flowers had already opened and the daffodils were 11cms tall!
Which shoot is which? The daffodil shoots have smooth curved, light green tips. They are much broader than the crocus tips. The crocus shoots have narrow pointed shoots that normally appear in clusters of five. They have dark green edges - making them look slightly stripey.
03/02/09 Snow everywhere today, even a bit in Cardiff! The shoots haven't grown much this week and now they are hidden under a blanket of snow.
Come back next week to see how much the plants grow.

Oracle Customer: Madinah Monawarah Development Authority
Location: Madinah, Saudi Arabia
Industry: Public Sector
Employees: 140
Al Madinah Al-Munawwarah—commonly written as Madinah Monawarah or Medina—is the second-holiest city in Islam, after Makkah (Mecca), and it is the burial place of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. The city, known as the capital of Islam, houses the Holy Prophet's Mosque and is one of the most visited places worldwide, receiving millions of pilgrims and tourists annually. Madinah Monawarah Development Authority (MMDA) is a Saudi Arabian governmental organization focused on developing the Madinah Central Area, which has nearly 1.8 million residents. The organization is responsible for implementing the Madinah region's development plan, which includes expansion of the Holy Prophet's Mosque.
"Madinah Monawarah Development Authority is a Saudi Arabian governmental organization that was established in 2009 to design and apply a comprehensive development plan for Madinah. The plan focuses on all development aspects of the Madinah Central Area, including the expansion of the Holy Prophet's Mosque, and it ensures the integrity of all projects run in the city. With Oracle E-Business Suite, we optimized service contract management, enabled compliance with complex government regulations, and introduced a completely paperless working environment. The solution also delivers seamless integration and cost-effective scalability, which are important, as we expect to double our workforce and quadruple budgets within two years." – Eng. Mohamed Bin Madani Al-Ali, Secretary General, Madinah Development Authority
"Modern government organizations need to consolidate, automate, and integrate processes—including the ability to control all activities with multiple alerts—to optimize public resource use," said Hatem Al-Rehili, IT manager, Madinah Monawarah Development Authority. "It was seeing the success that other public sector organizations in Saudi Arabia have had with Oracle E-Business Suite that triggered our attention. And, Oracle's strong presence in the country—with numerous certified partners, who can assist with the implementation—gives us the security that Oracle will be a strategic partner for years to come."
Oracle Partner
Advanced Operations Technology
"We selected Oracle Platinum Partner Advanced Operations Technology, based on the group's expertise in Oracle E-Business Suite implementations and its accomplishments in the Saudi Arabian government sector," said Ahmad A. Al-Raddadi, IT services manager, Madinah Monawarah Development Authority. "Advanced Operations Technology deployed Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 in close cooperation with and under the continuous direction of the information technology team of Madinah Development Authority. We benefited from substantial knowledge transfer during the process.
"We would not have had such a successful implementation without the cooperation, as a team, under the noble direction of His Highness the Governor of Madinah, the Head of the Authority, as well as the follow-up of His Eminence the Secretary General of Madinah Development Authority," Al-Raddadi said.

He came off his worst shooting season last year, although I think he'll get much better looks playing next to our starters. It's just that CL is notorious for hyping up role players only to have them stink it up.
Who's hyping him up? No one is expecting him to be an All Star just a solid sixth man.

Haven't played S.L. since the bag tag open. So it's been a half of a year & in this time i thought S.L. would have had benches & trash cans on a could holes.

Haven't played S.L. since the bag tag open. So it's been a half of a year & in this time i thought S.L. would have had benches & trash cans on a could holes.
NOT SO & i know a couple of us suggested such
What's up with that ?
Benches are a lot of work and not too many volunteers to go around. It will get done, just in time. It took 20+ years to get them at Otter Creek, IIRC...
Less lip more hip
We had a # of trash cans throughout the course - some have been moved - do you really have that much garbage you are carrying around?
the course is pristine anyhow - there isnt any garbage laying around
benches - maybe someday - cant throw when you are sitting anyhow - i expect we may construct some seating over the next year or so
check out the reviews of this course on a national website - most folks are concerned about the important parts like - is the course fun and can i find hole 2 after I play hole 1
Is this a joke? Seriously, the course is awesome.
Tons of man hours by many fine people.
Carry out your own trash!
If you want a bench build a bench. If you want a trash can, carry a trash bag.
Just like benches, courses aren't free and they don't build themselves. A LOT of work goes into a course redesign and Seviren is one of the best around.
So Mike, if benches are so important, my advice is to go to Lowe's, pick up some boards, 4x6s, nuts, bolts, bags of Sackrete and track down some post diggers, saws, hammers, drills and whatever you might need and build and drop some benches. You can pick up some trash cans while you're there too. I'm sure everyone would really appreciate your efforts!
April Fools In Aug?
I think I remember hearing that any benches would have to be built by the parks department because of the rules governing the park, so we don't really have any control over that. I'd like benches, too, but I'm also willing to plop my fat butt on the ground when needed. You do get benches by the shelterhouses next to #13 and #16. They have done construction out there when we've needed them to in pretty short time--those bridges (which probably didn't look necessary to you because it's currently dry,) went in in a day prior to the SLO.
Not trying to be a smart butt, how about carrying a collapsible stool with you?
Thirty dollars at Dick's...comes with a carry strap and a back to lean against. Much cheaper than a bench.

Press reviews
"Will it be another summer of Vinho Verde? A small but significant hit as it has grown in new-found popularity over recent years, this example is sherbetty at first, perhaps slightly soapy aromatically, but then the pure citrus and apple comes though. Shimmering stuff, it is basically dry and savoury in the finish, the acidity and merest hint of spritz is so refreshing."
The Wine Gang , 1st June 2014
"You know how holiday wines never seem to taste the same when you drink them at home? Well this one tastes even better! With a glorious spritzy, zesty, grapefruit and green grape theme, this is a vivacious vinho verde with masses of appeal and pizzaz."
Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail , 1st June 2014
"A gentle spritz, light in alcohol, not quite dry (for the geeks out there who like to know, the residual sugar is 6g/l), the taste of white peaches and blossom and citrus - this is just so refreshing that, cold from the fridge, it would be easy to finish the bottle. Swimming pool wine, in a good way. Drink with a smile."
Victoria Moore, Daily Telegraph , 1st June 2014

The entity I refered to in my original post need not be "supernatural". I agree that people have through out history mistakingly atributed to the supernatural, "God" or "Gods" everything they didn't understand. I do think that there is evidence that at one time a superior intelligence was present on this planet (the pyramids, evidence of anti-gravity use, ancient drawings in caves, Stonehenge, etc.) Yes I do read Science Fiction and maybe I do let my imagination get carried away. I don't read bad Science Fiction. The authors I read are of the ilk of Asimov, Clarke, Sturgeon and Leiber.
Believing that there is a force that intervenes, a force set in place by a superior inteligence to keep the human race from being totally destroyed may be something of a stretch. But how else do we explain situations where 2 year olds of average intelligence have saved an unconscious parents life by calling 911? There a multitude of other reports of incidents where information on how to deal with a situation that the reporter had no training or understanding of suddenly became available to them allowing them to solve a life threatening problem.
It may be Science Fiction but do you believe we are alone in the Universe?
Probably not in terms of other life forms out there, though I see no evidence of intelligent life forms or some obvious type of a deity or omnipresent being, or creator. I suppose there could be, but what's the use in talking about it without any objective evidence? That's probably how religion got started.
Pyramids and Stonehenge and drawings on caves don't compel me to believe anything other than that there were some motivated creative people way back when, many, if not most, of whom were likely slaves.
I haven't ruled everything out, though. I'm not going to claim to know all the answers about everything, having only seen a tiny fraction of the universe from a very limited perspective.
One thing that makes me wonder if there might be some type of 'universal spirit', or God if you want to call it that, is the chill I get up my spine every once in awhile when at the same time I am feeling inspired just from thinking about something. I see no evolutionary reason for this. I understand why animals and some people get a chill up their spine in situations of danger, buy why would I get it when I am feeling inspired?

Farming & Agriculture
Farming & Agriculture
With the vastly increased productivity of today's farmer comes added responsibility to ensure the environment is protected and the production is sustainable.
Agricultural practices can be very damaging. They contaminate rivers and streams, resulting in fish kills, reduced biodiversity, increased turbidity, eutrophication, algal blooms and more problems that can impact human and animal health. Agriculture is also a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
However, one should not overlook its many positive environmental benefits. Agricultural practices that conserve soil and increase productivity while improving soil quality also increase the amount of carbon-rich organic matter in soils, thereby providing a global depository for CO2 drawn from the atmosphere by growing plants. The same farming practices that promote soil conservation also decrease the amount of CO2 accumulating in the atmosphere. (Source: EPA / Photo: Flickr)

Now preparing for a rise through the minor leagues, Matt Tenuta has a pretty good foundation when it comes to moving from place to place.
The son of a college football assistant coach, he knows well about packing up and heading somewhere else.
"I've talked to a lot of people like that," said Tenuta, who tonight will be on the mound at Burlington Athletic Stadium when the Burlington Royals opener their Appalachian League season against the Pulaski Mariners. "It's a lot easier for me to make the transition and meet new people. I feel I'm cut out for this lifestyle."
Tenuta lists Apex as his hometown, a byproduct of Jon Tenuta, his father, spending three seasons on North Carolina State's football staff. He worked at nearby North Carolina in 2001.
When Matt Tenuta went away to start a professional baseball career as a teenager, a few months later his father was out of a job when N.C. State made a coaching change. Jon Tenuta picked up a job at the University of Virginia, his alma mater, where he's the defensive coordinator.
For the younger Tenuta, it seemed like no big deal. There were five years in the Columbus, Ohio, area when his father worked at Ohio State and about six years in the Atlanta area when his dad was at Georgia Tech.
"And a lot of other smaller moves," he said, indicating less time at those stops.
Matt Tenuta didn't pursue a football path, noting that his father's favorite sport growing up was baseball (as a catcher). Older brother Zach Tenuta played college football at Marshall and Akron.
"I always wanted to play baseball in the fall," Matt Tenuta said.
Basketball was in the mix, however. He played as a swingman as a freshman and sophomore at Penn High School in Mishawaka, Ind. (near South Bend), when his dad was a Notre Dame assistant.
Next thing he knew, Matt Tenuta was suiting up in a baseball uniform for Apex High School. That two-year stint was so successful that his No. 24 jersey was retired during a basketball game last season.
All this means that Matt Tenuta has been places and seen things. That could suit him well for this baseball journey.
"Being able to meet guys and develop a friendship real quick," he said. "We're all shooting for the same thing."
Burlington catcher Chad Johnson said: "He has moved around. We've been best buds ever since we were drafted."
Zach Lovvorn, also a first-year Burlington pitcher and a 2012 draftee, has been a roommate with Tenuta since last summer. "He has real good people skills, great people skills," Lovvorn said.
And he, too, has heard stories about the travels, most related to football and family.
"I can only imagine how many places he has been and met new people," Lovvorn said. "It's kind of cool to hear about his dad coaching at places like Notre Dame and all the places he has gone."
Amid all these moves, Tenuta said he has seen the supportive side of his father, who declined an interview request for this story. The son is also aware of the personality that can accompany a major-college defensive coordinator.
"That intimidating factor," Matt Tenuta said. "He was tough on us playing sports."
His mother was an athlete, too. Dori Gamble played basketball at Virginia.
Matt Tenuta knew the possibility of being sent to the Burlington club, which is less than an hour's drive from home. It's a thought that became more frequent during the past few months in extended spring training in Surprise, Ariz.
"Being from 45 minutes down the road, I was really hoping I was coming," he said.
He played at Burlington Athletic Stadium before in a showcase event. He was on a travel team with former Western Alamance pitcher Adam Huffman.
Last June, there was a twist in Tenuta's plans when the Royals drafted him in the 25th round. He also held a scholarship from N.C. State.
That would have put him in the College World Series this week.
"I'm not bummed because I'm happy where I am right now," he said, pointing out that he sent Wolfpack coach Elliott Avent a text message congratulating him and wishing him well in the CWS.
Tenuta was the organization's Pitcher of the Year for the Arizona Rookie League club last year, going 3-5 with a save and a 4.58 earned run average. He made 13 appearances, but only one start.
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, Tenuta points out he's still growing. That could add velocity to a fastball that clocks from 88-93 mph, though his key pitch is a slider.
"He's a smart pitcher," Johnson said. "He trusts what he has that night."
A few dozen friends and family might be on hand tonight — dad is expected to make the trip from Charlottesville, Va. He saw his son pitch for about a week last summer in the Arizona Rookie League.
So that makes him more aware of the left-hander's capabilities than Burlington manager Tommy Shields, who was scouting this spring and will see the 19-year-old in game action for the first time tonight.
"He's my lead-off guy," Shields said in reference to the opening-night assignment, "which means he must be good."
