This ammo fed my 1896 Swedish Mauser (made in 1917) flawlessly for three days in the Thunder Ranch Old Rifle Course in March 2017. Thanks to great coaching, great shot spotting and this great ammo, I was hitting at all distances between 50 and 700 yards. I love this stuff and so does my rifle.
I have bought lots of ammo from sgammo, since I found them, none have gave me any problems, I really like this ammo, and have the brand in several calibers now. My tikka T3 loves to shoot it and my Swiss Mauser made in 1900. All my orders have arrived in a very timely manner. Thanks Sarge.


Everybody knows that lavish lawn doesn't happen on its own. Lawns require good care, constant maintenance, and proper feeding to look green and neat. Quite often, soil does not contain enough nutrients to ensure the growth of healthy grass during the entire growing season, which is why most people apply supplements, whether to provide better growth, control weeds or to recover the grass from foot traffic. To keep the lawn fresh and good looking year around, one must know which product to use, when to use it, how much of it and how to maintain the lawn.
Before you apply any enricher, determine the type of the grass, meaning, identify whether it is a cool or warm season grass. Also, make sure to do a soil test to determine pH level. Depending on the alkalinity or acidity of the soil, you will be able to determine which product is best for your lawn.
Before choosing any, try to bring the soil to a neutral pH range (6.0 – 7.0) to ensure the optimal ingredient use from a fertilizer. Determine the size of the lawn to know exact quantities you will need because they are packed to cover specific square footage.
Best time to nourish soil depends on the grass type. Cool season grass requires applying supplements in the fall, before the frost and doing it again in the early spring. Warm season grass requires nourishment in the spring, but make sure to time it properly so that grass can use the ingredients before the summer heat.
Repeat after the high temperatures drop. Organic gardeners, who avoid the use of any chemicals to prevent contamination of water supplies, say that lawns do not need stimulation at all. However, there is a great choice of organic fertilizers on the market that are safe for the environment.
Depending on the grass type and your preferences, there is a variety of products on the market. Manufacturers have taken care of tailoring their products for appropriate use and any time of the year. Read the labels carefully since there is a lot of mixtures that contain herbicides and prevention formulas for weed. If in doubt, go for the slow-release fertilizers with a usual amount of nitrogen. Instead of sprinkling supplements on the lawn every four weeks, slow-release products require application every 6-12 weeks. Amount of nitrogen affects the shade of green grass, so if the grass is dark green, know that there is too much of nitrogen. Also, nitrogen boosts the grass growth, so make sure to determine the right amount to make your grass greener without growing too fast. For an easy and even application, go for the granules.
It is highly recommendable to follow manufacturers instructions, but be careful when it comes to application rates. The manufacturer's labels may suggest higher frequency and quantity than necessary since they aim for a bigger sale. There is no need for excessive fertilizing. Start with half of the recommended dose and if you don't like the results, increase the dosage. As mentioned above, the dark green colour of the grass implies a greater amount of nitrogen. Although it does look fabulous, keep in mind that some of the chemicals have ended up on the and sewer system and contaminated environment. Good looking and healthy lawn usually has light green colour, so make sure you don't go overboard.
Some soil supplements require watering the lawn before application because granules need water to break down and release the ingredients. However, keep in mind that the more you water the lawn, the more nutrients your grass will need. Water makes the grass grows, so more growth means a bigger demand for different ingredients. Make sure to follow instructions since every fertilizer has different watering requirements, before and after the application. Whether you use a soaker hose or sprinkler, you will have to fertilise the lawn every 6-8 weeks.
Even if you are not an organic gardener, take measures to prevent unnecessary pollution. Be nature-friendly even if you use chemicals. Be moderate when applying inorganic products, lower the dosage and make sure to remove any granules from the area around the lawn. Sweep up the granules that end up in the driveway, patio or street, because the first rain will wash them away and they will end up in streams and rivers. Also, check the weather forecast and make sure not to fertilize before the storm to prevent chemicals and nutrients run-off.
Keeping the lawn beautiful and neat is fairly simple and rewarding. However, take care while feeding the soil and take measures of precaution. Since fertilizers contain unsafe chemicals, make sure to wear a dust mask and goggles. Also, wear long pants, long sleeves, and rubber boots. Avoid application on a windy day and keep away from the lawn at least 24 hours afterwards. Ensure that your kids and pets do not get in contact with chemicals.

The Story Of How Blue Öyster Cult Started
via BlueOysterWizard/YouTube
According To Eric Bloom
It all began with a band called Soft White Underbelly. The lineup featured guitarist Buck Dharma, drummer Albert Bouchard, keyboardist Allen Lanier, singers Jeff Kagel and Les Braunstein, and bassist Andrew Winters. Sandy Pearlman was more than just their lyricist, he also got them several gigs and even helped them land recording contracts. He gave them stage names and more importantly, Pearlman was the one who brought in future lead singer Eric Bloom.
Before he got the lead vocals duties, Bloom was their acoustic engineer. Prior to that, he worked at a musical instrument shop on Long Island. He said, "Underbelly walked in to buy amps and I was the salesman. Les wasn't there. We started making small talk and I sold them a bunch of amps. Thanksgiving of '68, I got a phone call from Les out of the blue. They were playing the Electric Circus in the Village. The PA was not good. Could I come down with my PA and complement the house PA?"
Bloom had a PA and a van because he used to play in a band back in college.
He continued, "So I went and did sound for the Underbelly. Pearlman came up to me after the show and said, 'How would you like to work for the band?' They already had a record deal on Elektra. Sandy invited me to move in to the band house and I moved in Christmas Day. And it changed my life right on the spot."
He didn't know that the band was having troubles though, "Unknown to me, they were having personality problems with Les and around April of '69, Sandy walked up to me while I was watching TV in the living room. He had my tambourine in his hand, a smirk on his face, a little giggle and said, 'The boys want to talk to you.' They were rehearsing in the basement, so I followed him back downstairs and they asked me if I wanted to join the band. Sandy put me in front of the band. That's why I'm talking to you today."
Pearlman had to change their name to the Stalk-Forrest Group after a bad review of one of their shows. They had a few other names but eventually settled for Blue Öyster Cult – after a poem written by Pearlman. At first, the group wasn't happy about it but learned to accept it. In a 1976 interview, Pearlman explained an anagram of "Cully Stout Beer".
Blue Öyster Cult went on to sell over 24 million records worldwide.

The Fey Queen, Emajicka, is stealing the children of Grimmery for her Collection. She bathes in their nightmares to relieve her own. There is one nightmare she wants most of all.
If Ike had stayed home that Tuesday, he would not have betrayed a princess or robbed a murderous queen. He would not have been tied to an insane imp desperate to eat his liver. He certainly would not have floated across a strange land on an impossible rescue mission, powered by exploding manure. Nor would he have tried to escape via that disastrous troll-bum door.
But can he ever escape the Nightmare Queen?
The Nightmare Queen is hunting Ike and Mellie. A spell from forbidden Gobbeloon might stop her, but it won't be easy to get. On the way Ike will be struck blind, forced to eat maggot soup and carried by an enraged demon, upside down with his bum hanging out, right across Grimmery.
Then he picks up a bolt of frozen lightning. Bad move. Oh, yes, Ike dies in this story. And he still can't avoid the Nightmare Queen's cruel vengeance.
In this excellent book you will encounter lunatics, night-gaunts, a punning rat and a compulsive liar. Not to mention the most cunning enemy Ike has ever faced – the wicked goblin, Aigo.

Mellie has stolen the unluckiest charm in Wychwold and can't get rid of it. Pook has an insane plan to rescue the Collected children. The demons Nuckl, Spleen and Tonsil are after Ike's innards. And the Fey Queen, Emajicka, is coming to tear out his worst nightmare.
Only Ike can save Grimmery. But first he has to win a contest with a lying, cheating scoundrel – the desperate dwarf, Con Glomryt.

VanDusen Botanical Garden website
5251 Oak Street
click for larger images
For information on the Garden and its programs the public can call the 24-hour information line 604-878-9274 or during office hours (Mon - Fri. 9 - 4:30) you can call the Admin Reception Desk at 604-257-8666.
The garden is located in the heart of Vancouver at 5251 Oak Street at the corner of 37th Ave, between Oak & Granville Streets. Travel time by car or bus from downtown Vancouver or Vancouver International Airport is 10 minutes.
In 1910, this site was an isolated acreage of stumps and bush. It was owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway and was leased by the Shaughnessy Golf Club from 1911 until 1960 when the golf club moved to a new location. The railway proposed a subdivision, but was opposed by many citizens. In 1966, the VanDusen Botanical Garden Association was formed to assist the Vancouver Park Board with saving the site. This effort was successful and the land was purchased with shared funding from the City of Vancouver, the Government of British Columbia and the Vancouver Foundation with a donation by W. J. VanDusen, after whom the Garden was named.
Development started in 1971 and VanDusen Botanical Garden officially opened to the public on August 30, 1975.

HSBC VanDusen Family Program
Explore the amazing world of nature in our beautiful 55-acre garden and come face-to-face with a huge variety of plants and animals! Discover the natural world through plenty of outdoor hands-on practical explorations, games and crafts. VanDusen Botanical Garden is transformed into a holiday wonderland with when thousands visit the Festival of Lights every Christmas, where young and old alike are dazzled with over one million sparkling lights. * Programs are designed for children ages 4-11yrs. Infants and toddlers under 4 years are welcome, but programs are not as suitable for them.* Check their web site to find out when the next one is (or check the Kids Vancouver Event Page)
What can children gain from visiting the garden?
School children leave the Garden with a greater respect for nature, an increased understanding of how all its components interrelate and, most importantly, their own role in stewarding the natural world. Children are encouraged to use all their senses to explore the world about them. Their joy at experiencing its wonders is profound. For instance, in Passionate Pollinators, students from grades two through four are guided through the complexities of plant pollination. 'Why do plants have flowers?' 'What is pollen?' ''What do flowers turn into?' 'How do they do it?' ''What do insects, such as bees and moths, have to do with it?' 'Why do plants need to create seeds?'
These are big questions. Do you know the answers? Any eight- to ten-year old who has been to a VanDusen school program will be able to tell you. When the children see, smell, feel, touch and sometimes even taste what pollination is all about, abstract concepts become real and meaningful. They learn the value of living things and come to see that it is all connected. For nearly 30 years, VanDusen Garden has been connecting kids to nature and, by extension, to conservation.
Children's Garden:
They have an area just meant for children to see and enjoy! Plants of unusual or bizarre shapes are planted here such as the corkscrew hazel, Corylus avellana 'Contorta'; weeping walnut, Juglans regia 'Pendula', and the pendulous mulberry bush, Morus alba 'Pendula'. Topiary figures of legendary beasts such as Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Ogopogo, the Lake Okanagan monster and a dragon are featured.
The bench and seats are made of nephrite jade and the little boy with the dolphin in bronze is a replica of the Verrochio Putto in Florence. Near the espalier-trained apple trees on the cedar fence, is a small border which contains various food plants. In the summer, exotic fruits, pomegranates and bananas, are sometimes planted.
VanDusen houses a collection of several sculptures, including fountains, sited throughout the Garden. Eleven larger stone sculptures were created at the Vancouver International Stone Sculpture Symposium

Hello Sanctos will not be available for selection for the 2015 European Championships in Aachen. Photo (c) Jenny Abrahamsson.
Horse & Hound reports that Scott Brash has announced that Hello Sanctos (Quasimodo vd Molendreef x Nabab de Reve) will not be made available for selection for the 2015 European Championships. Brash says to Horse & Hound that it is "not in the horse's interest" to put him forward for selection, referring to the fact that the 13 year old gelding has done three major championships already and that he should be given the best chance to compete at the Olympic Games in Rio next year.
Hello Sanctos was a part of the British gold medal winning team at the 2012 Olympic Games and at the 2013 European Championships, as well as taking the individual bronze at the latter.
Brash still has a chance to make it to the team though, considering top performances from the mare Hello M'Lady (Indoctro x Baloubet du Rouet) - that recently won the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Monaco.

← What's a Disney Ride?
Someone mentioned hearing an interview on the radio in which a native Spanish speaker (who was speaking English in the interview) used the word conspiration when referring to conspiracy. Interesting. There is no word in any English dictionary for the word conspiration. However, our conspiracy is derived from Anglo-Norman conspiracie, an alteration of Old French conspiration. In modern Spanish the word is conspiración. All of these come from the Latin conspiratio (agreement, union). So, the Spanish speaker apparently mapped the current Spanish word into a parallel English form, utilizing English rules of pronunciation. So, why isn't conpiration a word in current English usage? Good question.
levitate/levitation, gravitate/gravitation, elevate/elevation, exterminate/extermination, radiate/radiation, etc..
What about secrecy? The state or quality of being secret entered English from Old French (secré – variant of secret). In the 15th century the English noun appeared as secretee. About a hundred years later secrecy appears, believed to have formed on the model of existing primacy. Another example of language's fluid and changing nature.
But, could we have secretness? We do have efficaciousness even though we also have efficacy. What is the difference in meaning between these two nouns? The root in both cases has Latin origin, but the first suffix (-ness) is about as Germanic a suffix as English possesses, unlike the Latinate (-acy) of efficacy. Secretness does not currently have the credentials of a proper dictionary entry (at least to my knowledge), but -ness is a highly productive noun-forming suffix in Modern English.
One envisionment (it's becoming a word!) of word patterns is to imagine a 2-dimensional matrix with all the possible roots represented along one axis and all possible suffixes (in our case) along the other. At any given time in the history of the language a subset of the possible combinations (each cell in the matrix is a possible combination of root + suffix) will actually be in current usage; over time some combinations will fade from currency and others become 'activated'. Such a model would allow for words such as secretism and secretude (both presumably meaning a state of being secret). Is such a model realistic? It doesn't predict which combinations will occur, but only which ones could occur. Perhaps it fails to capture important real constraints that would always 'black out' many of the possible combinations. Notice that it doesn't predict combinations such as determinationness (determine + -tion + -ness). This latter example seems to truly violate English word-formation rules in a way that is different from the above examples. Understanding what makes a linguistic 'boundary' hard or dynamic is an interesting question — there is still much to be learned.

Q: Embedded association not being persisted I've followed this tutorial for the exact same use case of assigning roles to users.
I'm using Rails 3.2.16.
When I try testing role assignment from the pry console I get that the roles field of User is not updated.
here's the pry text:
[14] pry(main)> a = User.last
  User Load (0.3ms)  SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` ORDER BY `users`.`id` DESC LIMIT 1
=> #<User id: 7, email: "a@b.c", encrypted_password: "...", reset_password_token: nil, reset_password_sent_at: nil, remember_created_at: nil, sign_in_count: 1, current_sign_in_at: "2013-12-29 11:14:36", last_sign_in_at: "2013-12-29 11:14:36", current_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", last_sign_in_ip: "127.0.0.1", created_at: "2013-12-29 11:14:04", updated_at: "2013-12-31 09:50:26", username: "asf", confirmation_token: nil, confirmed_at: "2013-12-29 11:14:26", confirmation_sent_at: "2013-12-29 11:14:04", unconfirmed_email: nil, roles_mask: 0>
[15] pry(main)> a.roles = [:admin, :expired]
=> [:admin, :expired]
[16] pry(main)> a.save
   (0.1ms)  BEGIN
   (0.1ms)  COMMIT
=> true

Here's the relating methods from the model:
ROLES = %w[admin active expired]

  def roles=(roles)
    self.roles_mask = (roles & ROLES).map { |r| 2**ROLES.index(r) }.sum
  end

  def roles
    ROLES.reject { |r| ((roles_mask || 0) & 2**ROLES.index(r)).zero? }
  end

  def role_symbols
    roles.map(&:to_sym)
  end

and here's the migration:
class AddRolesMaskToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :users, :roles_mask, :integer
  end
end

Would you know why the association is not persisted here?
thanks a lot in advance.

A: I figured that I was matching strings with symbols in the roles= method and this would not work.
I've converted everything to symbols now, and it works nicely.
Here's the new code:
  ROLES = [:admin, :active, :expired]

  def roles=(roles)
    self.roles_mask= (roles & ROLES).map { |r| 2**ROLES.index(r) }.sum
  end

  def roles
    roles_symbols.reject { |r| ((roles_mask || 0) & 2**ROLES.index(r)).zero? }
  end

Nick was frightened of ogres and spiders and crabs and cold water and the dentist and dark nights, but he wasn't afraid of Mr Evans, even after that first dreadful night, because Mr Evans had false teeth that clicked when he talked.
Bombs are falling on London when Carrie and Nick are sent away. Wartime evacuees billeted in Wales, they stay with bullying old Mr Evans and his timid mouse of a sister. Their friend Albert is luckier, living in Druid's Bottom with Hepzibah Green and the strange Mr Johnny. But the old house is tainted by the Screaming Skull's ancient curse. When Carrie does a terrible thing, will it haunt them all forever? This timeless story of two evacuees transported to rural Wales brilliantly evokes the Second World War era.
It might not be the most challenging book in the world but I still loved it! I think different people may have different opinions about it but I think out of the many books about war I have read this is one of the best!
We read it as a class at our primary school and we were so bored! We ended up watching the film and even that was slightly boring. Not the book for me.
i can tell you peaple for a fact that this book is very sad but it is really good.

COMPANY REVIEW Best and Top 10 companies in UAE for 2020
Best and Top 10 companies in UAE for 2020
Although there are thousands of international companies in UAE, local organizations always rank higher than foreign competitors, because, biggest governmental or privates projects have been operating by them.
After the global pandemic (Coronavirus), most companies have been affected by government lockdown and low demand for goods and services in local and international markets.
So, in another word, we can say this year is not good for the companies in the UAE either they are bigger or smaller. All have suffered and will prolong until 2021. The result for that many companies are entrenching the employees or reducing their salary to survive at this hard time.
Hospitality and aviation companies are deeply affected by the global health crisis. Although healthcare companies have benefited from it, they do not play a vital role in the UAE and international markets.

The News Is an Important Source of Knowledge for All of Us About the World, Especially in This Era of Technology
Leave a Comment / Writting Task 2 / By admin
The news is an important source of knowledge for all of us about the world, especially in this era of technology. Journalists are mainly responsible to bring this news to us but not all of them are true to their responsibilities and ethics. How much can we trust the journalists? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.
News items from various sources are veritable means of information that keeps us abreast with the happenings in and around the globe, and this helps to keep us constantly updated. Media practitioners happen to be at the centre of the dissemination of news items. They, therefore, have an important role to play in determining how much news we get and the quality of the news we get. The question, therefore, arises, to what extent can these media practitioners be relied upon to function with utmost integrity? It is my considered opinion that the average journalist in our contemporary times has what it takes to work in the most credible fashion. My opinion is informed by the following reasons;
Firstly, considering the nature and extent of training received by journalists, they are generally equipped to live above boards. This training is known to confer on them a high sense of professionalism. For instance, the curriculum for the training of journalists in most tertiary institutions like the University of Sheffield in the UK comprises a blend of theoretical and practical aspects of the principles and ethics of the profession. That is why they are meant to undergo some form of industrial attachments in some media houses to give them the necessary orientation and exposure to what to expect in the larger world.
Furthermore, the average practising journalist in the world of today is daily inundated with articles and items that show that they are constantly under public scrutiny. In other words, each time a journalist performs his or her function, he/she is automatically thrown into the court of public scrutiny where his/her work undergoes some form of screening for transparency, fairness and balance in reportage. This makes every journalist conscious of the fact that they need to show a high sense of public accountability in the discharge of their duties. For example, a renowned journalist from one of the suburbs of the Scottish city of Aberdeen was made to openly defend his statement of claim that a well-known singer in the UK fraudulently worked her way to stardom. This was contained in one of his articles which was widely published within and beyond the UK. This attracted widespread criticisms from local and international observers. He was invited to defend his claim before an in-house panel set up by the umbrella body of the media houses in the UK. This and many of such cases serve as a clarion call for all media practitioners to embrace their duties with a high sense of responsibility and professionalism.
In conclusion, my view that Journalists can be trusted to a very large extent in the discharge of their onerous duties in our world of today stems from the fact that they have been equipped with a high standard of training globally as well as being constantly refined by public scrutiny.

Review - Dementia
The One-Stop Guide: Practical Advice for Families, Professionals, and People Living with Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
by June Andrews
Profile Books, 2015
Oct 20th 2015 (Volume 19, Issue 43)
There are is a growing number of books about dementia and the challenges that families face when a loved one has Alzheimer's or a similar neurological disorder. This one is focused on the situation in the UK, although much of the advice Andrews gives would also apply to people in other countries. But the information about the health care service is specific to the UK. June Andrews writes from a position of experience, knowing a lot about how the system works in the UK, from the National Health Service, the social services, care homes, and the complaints process.
The first part of the book, describing dementia and Alzheimer's and its effect on carers, and it is useful but standard information that is fairly easy to find elsewhere. Andrews illustrates her points with frequent vignettes from real life, which make it easier to grasp the main ideas. The discussion of the issues is useful and Andrews has plenty of good tips. It is not exhaustive, and not everyone will agree with everything she says. But certainly the advice is based on a wealth of experience and will be useful for most people.
The second part of the book will only really be useful to those living in the UK, but for them, it will be especially useful and it will be hard to find it elsewhere. Andrews has a thorough knowledge of how the NHS works and the problems that often occur. She knows the weaknesses of the system and the way it often fails those with dementia, so she knows what people should look for. She also knows how families can act to minimize the dangers to patients with Alzheimer's by acting on their behalf. Her advice about how to keep people out of hospitals, which she regards as often dangerous places for people with dementia. Her tips about identifying problems with care homes and finding ones that are a good fit for one's love one are especially useful.
So while Dementia: The One-Stop Guide has a limited potential readership, those in the UK who either have early stage dementia, or have family members with dementia will find this book essential reading. Highly recommended.

Most people face choices that are either/or: eat in or out, to buy or not to buy, X Factor or Strictly Come Dancing, daddy or chips? Of course, actuarial students — while they love their binary — prefer life to be a little more complicated. In the quest for a work-life balance they like to throw in a third, unspeakable variable.
We say that we suffer in the name of qualifying. Perhaps we do it because it offers us a supply of rants about how we never have time to enjoy ourselves — we are either working or studying. We follow the student ABC: Always Be Cramming.
But is it true? Are we selflessly missing out on our 20s and 30s in the pursuit of excellence or are we, in fact, just a bunch of moaners? I hate ambiguity so let's find out. Compare two people: a student and a person with a job but no study.
• There are no external factors, like sick days.
So, over six months, what do our two subjects spend their time doing? The major difference is the presence of study days for the student — more on that later.
It is worth pausing to consider the nature of 'free time'. Let's say there are two kinds: Grade A free time comes when there is a substantial block in which to do a meaningful activity. Grade B free time occurs when the subject may be tired or have chores to do. It is clear grade A free time is more valuable than grade B.
Holidays, weekends and work days are broken up as shown in Table 1. Holidays and weekends will always have grade A free time and work days will have grade B.
We can assume that study days offer 12 hours of free time similar to weekends.
• They can do something in-between.
I will assume the student will study more as the exams approach. Also, if they study a lot in a day then free time downgrades from grade A to grade B.
This means that the student might typically enjoy 31 hours of grade A free time and 44 days of grade B free time from study days. However, this assumption means they need to find another 67 hours of study time to prepare for the exam. This will come from weekends.
Whichever way you slice it, the student will end up with about 36 hours less free time than the worker. That's the deal. Also, with no exam commitments, the worker can choose when to take holidays more freely. But the student can gain flexibility from study days. They can end up with more days with grade A free time than a worker. Some would argue that having more days of free time is better than having more free time condensed into fewer days.
Also, the overwhelming amount of free time that a student has is flexible.
They can choose to have high- or low-quality time depending on how they approach studying — little and often or blitzed all at once. So, when you think about your work/life/study balance, consider the ways you can get the mix that is right for you. This could go a long way to making students feel more content in dealing with the perceived sacrifice of having to study.

Lucroy shutting down running game early on
By Doug Padilla
ANAHEIM -- Jonathan Lucroy put his thumb and index finger in front of his face and held the digits an inch apart."Small adjustments," the A's veteran catcher said Friday from the visiting clubhouse at Angel Stadium.The year is young, but in his first season in Oakland, Lucroy looks to be
ANAHEIM -- Jonathan Lucroy put his thumb and index finger in front of his face and held the digits an inch apart.
"Small adjustments," the A's veteran catcher said Friday from the visiting clubhouse at Angel Stadium.
The year is young, but in his first season in Oakland, Lucroy looks to be distancing himself from a rough season throwing out baserunners in 2017.
Lucroy threw out five would-be basestealers in Oakland's just-completed series against the Rangers. And on one of those plays in particular, that small adjustment made a huge difference, and has become something that Oakland plans to lean on all season.
Lucroy and shortstop Marcus Semien saw on video that they just missed throwing out an Angels basestealer in the opening series of the season. Semien took a Lucroy throw out in front of the bag, toward home plate, and tried to make a sweeping tag. The runner was safe.
Against the Rangers, the same exact play occurred, with identical timing, and this time Semien waited a beat longer for the ball to arrive to him. He dropped down the tag in time.
"Same throw, and we made the adjustment and got the guy out," Semien said. "Same timing and everything. Safe vs. out. It was just us talking in the video room about certain plays, and he's a really good communicator. That's going to be huge for not only the young pitchers but the group we have of position players."
Asked about his early-season improvements in the running game, Lucroy made sure the pitchers and the infielders got credit for the success too. But after throwing out just 23 percent of basestealers last season, Lucroy made sure to improve that part of his game this year.
"Last year wasn't me," Lucroy said. "That's not who I am."
But he also knew that one bad year didn't have to define him. He has thrown out 28 percent of basestealers in his career, and was as high as 39 percent in 2016, the year he was traded from the Brewers to the Rangers.
Since 2010, Lucroy has thrown out 182 runners trying to steal, the most by any Major League catcher in that span. The three he threw out against the Rangers on Tuesday were the most by an A's catcher in a game since Stephen Vogt threw out three in July of 2015 against the Indians.
"It's just getting back to rededicating yourself, refocusing on the things you can do whether it be footwork, transfer stuff, arm strength, building that up," Lucroy said. "I've been working on all that to bring it all together. But that's really what it's all about."
If the A's had a concern this season it was with that young starting rotation. After the first eight games, the young staff has looked promising with Lucroy behind the plate. And so far, nobody has been able to get away with picking on the A's on the base paths.
"We've had some difficulty the last couple years throwing guys out and it's a boost," manager Bob Melvin said. "You get an out on the bases like that, and a couple of times a third with two guys on, it gets you back in the dugout and gives you a nice little momentum boost."
It has become the scenario the A's were looking for when they signed Lucroy on March 12.
"We knew he could throw," Melvin said. "He's put together some really good times and he's off to a good start with that. He's relating to the pitchers really well and has done a real nice job for us."
The A's expect outfielder Trayce Thompson to join the team on Saturday in Anaheim. Thompson was claimed off waivers from the Yankees this week. The Yankees had just claimed him off waivers from the Dodgers.
Thompson, the brother of Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson, will have some familiarity around him as he joins the A's. Angel Stadium is about 20 miles from where Thompson grew up in south Orange County. The A's will then head to Dodger Stadium for an Interleague series. Thompson played in 107 games with the Dodgers over the past two seasons.
And in the A's clubhouse is Semien, who played with Thompson in the Chicago White Sox's organization.

RayJ poured his heart out at the Brotherhood Crusade and Mothers In Action charity press conference, which are charities close to his heart.
The 31-years-old singer, who has be rumored to be Houston's toy-boy in the past said, "I miss my friend, I really do. I'm really hurting. I'm really emotional right now, I really don't know what to say.
It's just such a tough time for me. I've been through a lot in these past 2 weeks. I may have to look at life in a whole different way."
Whitney Houston past away last month. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.

Will you have the necessary income to be able to pay your monthly mortgage?
Have past credit obligations been made? Have you been late in making payments? You may need to show paid receipts and cancelled checks for rent and utility payments that document a pattern of making payments on time.
A lender wants to see that you have the funds to fulfill your obligations as well as your new mortgage payment. Theoretically, you should enough savings to use for a down payment as well as an emergency fundin case something should unexpectedly happen financially.
A lender will have an appraisal completed to determine what the value of the home is in comparison to other properties in the neighborhood.
