Full text of the poem below the cut!
Above the eastern steps of The Music Center, directly across from Grand Park is one of the most iconic sculptures of both Downtown Los Angeles and the city itself. "Dance Door," is the bronze frame and doorway sculpture originally created by the celebrated late sculptor Robert Graham in 1978. As writer Michael Several wrote in 1998, "The work consists of three sections: small fragments of dancing figures appear in relief in the bottom half; larger fragments of dancers in relief in the next quarter; and a cutout frieze of silhouetted dancing figures on the top." This elegant artwork frames City Hall on the eastern horizon and has been the site of countless photos for over a generation of Angelenos.
"Dance Door," is a meaningful sculpture for many reasons. The most obvious is that its' beauty pays tribute to the many dance events that The Music Center hosts every year. The work was so successful that it also led to Graham creating many more sculptures throughout the city including his "Olympic Gateway" piece at the Memorial Coliseum for the 1984 Olympics and his "Source Figure," sculpture above the Bunker Hill Steps next to the Library Tower. Graham has also created equally significant works that remain standing in New York City and Washington D.C.
"Dance Door," was commissioned by the late Frederick Weisman, who was one of the America's best known art collectors, for installation near his swimming pool at his Beverly Hills home. Weisman donated the monumental sculpture to The Music Center in 1982 where it still stands, greeting pedestrians walking up the steps to enjoy another Music Center production.
On Friday June 17th through Sunday June 19th, Dance Door will be open for three ticketed performances of one of the most dynamic dancing events to ever appear in Los Angeles: Compagnie Käfig.
Choreographed by Artistic Director Mourad Merzouki, this event features the confluence of Hip-Hop, Capoeira, Samba, electronic music and Bossa Nova. Performed by an all-male cast of 10 Brazilian dancers, the show will fuse martial arts, street dance, acrobatic skills and high energy into an interdisciplinary show that transcends tradition and usual expectations.
Merzouki founded his company in 1996 and the French choreographer has won international acclaim because his Dance Company presents performances that unite South American, European and North American movement into an aesthetic vocabulary that utilizes Hip-Hop and dance culture to bring worlds together and make sociopolitical statements that can be felt on the visceral level.
Walk through "Dance Door," to witness a new world of movement with Compagnie Käfig.
Mike Sonksen aka Mike the Poet is a 3rd-generation Los Angeles native that grew up in the LA underground. After graduating from high school shortly after the 1992 Rodney King Rebellion, Mike started at UCLA in the fall of 1992 and from this time he has spent thousands of hours attending Hip-Hop events, performing spoken word poetry and writing record reviews for a wide range of magazines and websites.
We're calling it – with the first Dance DTLA event this Friday night (Dance Downtown: Bollywood), Los Angeles is officially in summer mode!
Back for the 12th year, The Music Center's Dance DTLA kicks off THIS Friday night, June 3! Head downtown for an evening of dancing under the stars on most Friday nights from June-September, 2016. Plus, grab some yummy specials for your picnic basket at Grand Central Market's extended Summer Nights hours and hop on the free Downtown Concierge Shuttle over to The Music Center!
Our new favorite Los Angeles couple is a pair of ducks that has been frequenting The Music Center campus this week.
Most recently they came out of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion parking lot elevator and strolled on the plaza…
Only to become understandably intrigued by the upcoming production of American Ballet Theatre's Firebird.
Minds made up, they waddled over to the box office to get their tickets for the show in July, proving that the arts are, indeed, for everyone!
Some bonus shots below:
In just about a week, Complexions Contemporary Ballet will perform on the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion stage, April 15-17. An overview of the engagement and full programming information are available on our WEBSITE, but in this post we'll tell you a little bit more about the history of the company and background of each dancer you will see perform.
Happy Hump Day, everyone! Here is an early This Weekend at The Music Center for those of you who are in need of some last-minute Valentine's Day plans.
Start the weekend off right with Center Theatre Group's The Mystery of Love & Sex at the Mark Taper Forum. The play offers an explosive look at romance, race and our connections to each other in a world full of tangled and complicated differences. Or if you're in a mood for theater that tickles the funny bone, catch An Act of God starring Emmy Award® winner Sean Hayes at the Ahmanson.
At Walt Disney Concert Hall, the LA Phil is setting the mood with their CITY OF LIGHT: A Century of Music from Paris series. On Friday, come to CITY OF LIGHT: Mother Goose, with Installation or catch the world premier of The Wooster Group: The Room by Harold Pinter over at REDCAT.
Saturday & Sunday (Valentine's Day!)
All of the shows from Friday have additional performances through the weekend so check the links above for dates and times.
Additionally, Saturday is the opening night of The Magic Flute at the LA Opera. Don't miss this visually stunning production that is a celebration of true love conquering all. February 13 is the only day to catch the show this weekend, but it runs through March 6.
Over at Grand Park, love is in the air this Saturday at PROUD Love, celebrating the LGBTQ and ally community. Enjoy a sunny afternoon dance party with a photo booth, dance floor and square dance lessons bringing together love of all kinds.
Valentine's Day Dining
Bonus dining tip: Patina Restaurant Group has a special Valentine's Day: Love Bites & Potions menu available. View & Reserve.
No matter what you choose, we wish you a weekend full of love!
Even from a distance, you could tell something special was happening at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Streams of green and blue light darted off the chandeliers and through the Mondrian windows, inviting you to enter the peculiar world of Sleepless: The Music Center After Hours (Sleepless).
This past weekend we celebrated the third installment of the Sleepless series, and it did not disappoint. Flocks of fans braved a warm February night in Los Angeles for a taste of The Music Center after hours. From the Founder's Room to deep below the stairs, the pavilion was alive with sounds and beats, lights and imagery, puppets and pillows. The pavilion was decked out for a luxurious good time.
We had the opportunity to collaborate with dublab again, helping us tap into the pulse of LA's unique music scene. Things kicked off with DJ crew Mas Exitos, along with their expertly curated assortment of tropical classics and rare oddities.
In true Sleepless fashion, the arrival of each guest was announced aloud by our cheery staff. Flanking either side of the Grand Staircase were a few newcomers to the affair. Boyle Height's own Self Help Graphics & Art brought their workshop directly to the party. Guests and their DIY shadow puppets danced the night away atop cityscapes by Self Help's own Daniel Gonzalez and Martha Carillo.
On the other side of the lobby, guests became the puppets themselves. Fresh off of their epic projections at N.Y.E.L.A., yU+Co graced the Grand Lounge with an interactive video installation alongside the audio works of composer John Wiese.
Touch, the London-based imprint, burrowed themselves deep below the stairs, creating a truly 360º installation. Eight speakers surrounded you, blending together pieces from their artist roster in real time.
Past the bronze Plazzotas statues and up the Grand Staircase, Stern Grand Hall was transformed into a space of futuristic leisure. The video and sound synthesized with the mid-century design of the hall in a way that was both nostalgic and innovative. The audience listened intently as they reclined below the chandeliers, gazing upwards as animated light reflected back down towards them. Leaving Records provided a diverse soundtrack including worldly, spiritual songs from Carlos Niño, the undulating synthesis of M. Geddes Gengras, and frantic juke-inspired beats from Ahnnu.
Meanwhile around the corner, in the illustrious Founder's Room, wide-eyed dancers shuffled and stepped under the watchful gaze of Dorothy Chandler herself. As the disco-ball spun and the records revolved, the ESP Institute put on a clinic of their own. Straight from Amsterdam, Tako joined a cast of his label-mates including Cooper Saver and Lovefingers.
It didn't matter where your personal experience took you that night, the experience of Sleepless is as exclusive to every individual as it is universal to the whole. Because of these unique factors, no two Sleepless nights can ever be the same. Surrendering themselves to the spectacle and the allure of the night, each artist created for the collective. With open minds, the audience was able to check their preconceptions at the door and revel in the moment. Combined they were able to tap into the heartbeat of the city at night.

General Info: The 18th Annual Chicago Ethnography Conference was held on the campus of DePaul University by the Department of Sociology on Saturday, April 30th, 2016.
This annual graduate student conference is hosted on a rotating basis by one of several Chicago-area Sociology departments, including DePaul University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola University, Northern Illinois University, Northwestern University, University of Notre Dame, the University of Chicago, and University of Illinois at Chicago. The conference provides an opportunity for graduate students to share their ethnographic scholarship with one another and get feedback from faculty and other graduate students based in the Chicago area and beyond.
2016 Conference Theme: "Beyond the Case Study: Connecting Theory and Generalizability"
Keynote Speakers
Michael Burawoy
Michael Burawoy is Professor of Sociology at the University of California at Berkeley. He has been a participant observer of industrial workplaces in four countries: Zambia, United States, Hungary and Russia. In his different projects he has tried to illuminate — from the standpoint of the working class — postcolonialism, the organization of consent to capitalism, the peculiar forms of class-consciousness and work organization in state socialism, and, finally, the dilemmas of transition from socialism to capitalism. Over the course of four decades of research and teaching, he has developed the extended case method that allows broad conclusions to be drawn from ethnographic research. He is the author of several books, including Manufacturing Consent: Changes in the Labor Process under Monopoly Capitalism (1979), two volumes co-authored with graduate students, Ethnography Unbound: Power and Resistance in the Modern Metropolis (1991) and Global Ethnography: Forces, Connections, and Imaginations in a Postmodern World (2000), as well as a collection of theoretical and methodological essays, The Extended Case Method: Four Countries, Four Decades, Four Great Transformations and One Theoretical Tradition (2009). Throughout his sociological career he has engaged with Marxism, seeking to reconstruct it in the light of his research and more broadly in the light of historical challenges of the late 20th and early 21st. centuries. He is the editor of Global Dialogue, the newsletter and magazine of the International Sociological Association.
Claudio Benzecry
Claudio E. Benzecry is Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Sociology (by courtesy) at Northwestern University. His book The Opera Fanatic: Ethnography of an Obsession (University of Chicago Press, 2011) received the Mary Douglas Award for best book in the Sociology of Culture (2012) and Honorable mention for the ASA Distinguished Book award (2014). He is also the Editor of two books on culture and knowledge, and has published articles on sociological theory, sociology of culture, and the arts in venues such as Sociological Theory, Ethnography, British Journal of Sociology and Theory & Society, among others. He's currently conducting research on fashion, creativity and globalization.

Will the deadlock be broken this weekend? Only time will tell. Here are this week's fearless forecasts:
Randy's picks:
ARKANSAS AT ALABAMA: Each team played a USC on the road last weekend. The Tide won 37-14 at South Carolina, while the Hogs lost 70-17 at Southern Cal. Even overconfident, Bama should win handily. Alabama 27, Arkansas 14
WESTERN KENTUCKY AT AUBURN: The Tigers have outscored their last two opponents 91-3. That pace will be hard to maintain. Auburn 35, Western Kentucky 7
FLORIDA AT KENTUCKY: The Wildcats appear to be the SEC's worst team. The Gators might be the league's best team. That sort of negates the home field advantage, doesn't it? Florida 31, UK 10.
WYOMING AT OLE MISS: Rebel coach Ed Orgeron had better win this one because his next test is Oct. 1 against Tennessee in Knoxville. Ole Miss 20, Wyoming 13
RICHMOND AT VANDERBILT: It would be just like the Commodores to start 3-0, then break their fans' hearts by losing to a team like the lowly Spiders. But I believe in fairy tales. Vandy 27, Richmond 17 TENNESSEE AT LSU: For the Vols, this is nothing more than a game. For the Tigers, it's nothing less than a mission. LSU 24, Tennessee 17
TROY AT SOUTH CAROLINA: Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks have been up and down. This is their week to be up. South Carolina 31, Troy 10
GEORGIA AT MISSISSIPPI STATE: This is a battle of Bulldogs but one pack has considerably more bite. Georgia 31, Miss. State 14
Jeffery's picks:
ARKANSAS AT ALABAMA: After Arkansas' pasting in L.A. last week against No. 1 USC, the Hogs won't be intimidated by Alabama's talent, neither will they have the confidence needed to pull an upset. The Crimson Tide has lost two in a row to Arkansas and are looking for a little pay back against the Razorbacks. Alabama 31, Arkansas 16.
WESTERN KENTUCKY AT AUBURN: After home games against Mississippi State, Ball State and now Western Kentucky, the Tigers may be getting a little sick of cupcakes, but that won't keep them from devouring the Hill Toppers without so much as a hiccup. Auburn 42, Western Kentucky 10.
FLORIDA AT KENTUCKY: Coming off a big win over Tennessee the Gators, who have won 18 straight over Kentucky, may overlook the Wildcats as Chris Leak returns to the scene of his first collegiate start. It won't matter. Florida 38, Kentucky 9.
WYOMING AT OLE MISS: This has the potential to be the closest and most entertaining game on the SEC slate. The Rebels' second-half rally against Vanderbilt fell short last week, but an early start in front of the home folks should give Mississippi the edge. Ole Miss 24, Wyoming 21.
RICHMOND AT VANDERBILT: After playing the freakin' Deacons, the blind Hogs and the Rebels without a cause, the Commodores catch the Itsy Bitsy Spiders this week in Nashville. Who made this schedule — Mother Goose? I've picked against Vandy the last three weeks and lost each time. I might be stubborn but I'm not stupid beyond redemption. Vanderbilt 33, Richmond 13.
TENNESSEE AT LSU: Switched from Saturday night to Monday in Baton Rouge because of hurricane Rita, weather could still be a factor in this SEC contest. That might favor the Vols who has an APB out for their offense. I don't expect them to find it in Louisiana, and you can't win if you don't score. LSU 17, Tennessee 13.
TROY AT SOUTH CAROLINA: It won't take ten years, a thousand ships, the great Achilles or a massive wooden horse to defeat this Troy — just an ol' ball coach and a beat up visor. South Carolina 34, Troy 14.
GEORGIA AT MISSISSIPPI STATE: Last season Mississippi State was a 24-point underdog when it pulled a stunning upset of Florida in Starkville. That can't be much comfort to UGA which enters as a 16-point pick. I think I smell an upset. Then again, it may just be the tuna fish I had for lunch. Georgia 27, Mississippi State 17.

WASHINGTON - The Washington Nationals were in the midst of their peculiar dugout celebration Monday night when Jayson Werth made eye contact with the opposing manager.
So much was racing through Werth's mind at that moment.
The Phillies team he left after the 2010 season, the team that had dominated the National League East for half a decade and won a World Series in 2008, was forced to watch Werth and the once-lowly Nationals celebrate a division title after the Atlanta Braves' loss in Pittsburgh.
As the game continued, the Nationals hugged and hollered during the bottom of the ninth inning of a game the Phillies won, 2-0.

A few words from our students…
"Ms. DelaRosa taught me how to trust in myself because as she told me "You have to build your empire with your own two hands!"
"No matter what kind of day I was having Ms. DelaRosa would always put a smile on my face and make me laugh. That down in your gut, tears rolling down my face laughter. She had the biggest presence and biggest heart of anyone I've ever met. I loved her sincerity and in your face attitude. You never had to question where you stood with her or what she thought about you. She was my inspiration and I will always hold her close to my heart and strive to make her proud everyday."
"She would never let me quit even when I wanted to. She believed in me more then I believed in myself."
"Very uplifting. When I had a hard day she would remind me of ways to remember others have it harder."

This phrase has absolutely _no_ racial dimension, despite appearances. It is a Northern British (e.g. Yorkshire) term referring to a silly person. It does not derive from nigger and should not be considered racist at all.

Keeping in mind that hops magnify the heat of peppers I decided to pickle some mild jalapenos in an extra hoppy pale ale to give them some kick and also bring out the citrusy notes of the hot pepper and the coriander!
Beer Pickled Jalapenos
2tbsp honey
1tbsp salt
2tsp whole coriander
1tsp whole mustard seed
pinch of whole pepper corns
juice from one lime
1/3 cup golden balsamic
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cups of beer (I used Knee Deep's Citra Extra Pale Ale)
7 mild jalapenos
-Slice up your jalapenos thinly and set aside in heat proof container
-Add honey, salt, spices, vinegars, lime juice, and 1 cup of the beer to a pot and simmer
-Simmer pickling liquid for about 5 minutes
-Add 1/2 cup of beer and remove from heat for a couple minutes
-Pour liquid over sliced jalapenos and cover container
-You can enjoy them after about 2 hours and they will keep for a couple weeks if properly refrigerated!
Pair your jalapenos with grilled meats, tacos, charcuterie and of course a refreshing beer!
Don't forget to share pictures of your Hopped up Jalapenos with me on Instagram with #fugglybrew!

Bust of Civil War General Stirs Anger in AlabamaBreaking News
In Selma, Ala., a battle over what to do with a bronze bust of a contradictory and controversial Civil War general has lasted far longer than the war itself.
Since the monument honoring Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest was unveiled in a city park in 2000, critics have called it a symbol of hate. Vandals littered it with trash, pelted it with cinder blocks and tried to pull it down with ropes before it was moved to a private cemetery. Finally in March, the bust vanished. A historical society called Friends of Forrest has offered a $20,000 reward for its return, and vowed to replace it with a new bust on a taller pedestal, guarded by an iron fence and a surveillance camera.
The fight continued this week as about 20 protesters tried to block construction of the new monument by lying in the path of a concrete truck as crews tried to pour a ramp. Late on Thursday night, the Selma mayor, George Patrick Evans, decided to halt the work until the city attorney could review the plans. Meanwhile, an online petition at Change.org asking the City Council to ban the monument has more than 69,000 signatures....

According to National Director Alain Deletoille "Christian not only had exceptional personal qualities, his perspective was always positive and he always worked with a disconcerting calm. I will remember for a long time those moments we shared during travels abroad or during seminars. He gave because he wanted to make the world a better place. He was a good man, a righteous man." As Sports Director for Special Olympics France, Christian created Holiday Camps, Montaigu's Tournament, The National Games of 2007 in Saint Laurent and the United Soccer Tournament at the Parc des Prince Stadium with the UGSEL. He was a Sports teacher, closely tied to the Soccer Club of Montaigu and contributed with passion and enthusiasm to our cause.

Conservationists asked to operate forests and parks with millions of dollars in state cuts are hoping budgetmakers don't lead them on a trail to further spending reductions.
State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources press secretary Christina Novak said state parks lost $9 million and state forests lost $7.4 million when the budget was finalized for the fiscal year ending June 30.
Campgrounds were closed statewide, swimming seasons were shortened and decreased capability to maintain roads were some of the impacts Novak described.
Article Photos
District Forester Rich Glinski doesn't expect more cutbacks at the Loyalsock State Forest he manages, only because he said he's already shortstaffed.
"They can't cut any fat off a rock," he said.
According to Glinski, reduced personnel affects forest roads, trails, buildings and signs when they can't be properly maintained.
For fiscal year 2009-10, Glinski said he lost six employees who were designated forest maintenance responsibilities from April to November.
That leaves him with five seasonal maintenance laborers.
Glinski said there's only one employee that oversees maintenance because two other full-time positions were cut from the staff.
January flooding only worsened roads, according to Glinski.
He said there's no way to precisely gauge how many people visit the forest for a variety of activities including hunting, fishing, hiking and camping.
Using permitting to help form a count, Glinski said there's well over 4,000 campers who use these roads and other forest amenities annually.
State parks
Despite a $21 million cut to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resource's general fund, no parks or forests closed this past year.
Payments made by natural gas companies leasing land helped keep the parks open, according to Novak.
From the gas property lease money, Novak said a total of $1.8 million was paid by the businesses and transferred to the DCNR for this fiscal year.
Another $1.8 million is proposed for the budget being drafted, according to Novak.
Michael S. Winters, a park manager who oversees operations at Little Pine and Upper Pine Bottom state parks and Hyner Run and Hyner View state parks, declined to speculate on proposed cutbacks.
He was willing to describe cuts already enacted.
Winters said his parks were no exception to the proportionate cuts enacted statewide.
His operating budget for the four-park complex is about $70,000 less than the $803,000 available in fiscal year 2008-09.
"Further reductions would be crippling," Winters said.
The Hyner Run campground and organized group tent areas at Little Pine park are operating under a reduced season spanning from late April to mid-October.
That's about 3 1/2 months less than it used to be, according to Winters.
Instead of the former Memorial Day to Labor Day Hyner Run swimming pool season, Winters said a two-month pool season won't begin until mid-June.
Winters said none of the park employees were furloughed, but some seasonal workers experienced reductions in the numbers of hours they could work.
Fewer employees made it more challenging to Winters to ensure facilities were properly maintained.
Adjustments were made to reduce operating costs, according to Winters.
Power was turned off at a Hyner Run office that was winterized and unoccupied through the colder months of the past year.
Some maintenance building consolidation was enacted through the winter.
Fewer restrooms were made available early this camping season, as Winters said they'll be opened as needed.
As he adapts to the changes, Winters understands the necessity.
He said, "Decisions about service reductions were calculated and deliberate to continue to provide a quality visitor experience at our parks while keeping all 117 state parks open in Pennsylvania."

2016 Contemporary Ethnography Across the Disciplines Hui
The fourth international Contemporary Ethnography Across the Disciplines (CEAD) 2016: Ethnographic Imaginings: Place, Space, and Time will take place between 15-18 November 2016. Sponsored by the Association for Contemporary Ethnography Across the Disciplines, the hui will move from the beautiful campus of the University of Waikato in Hamilton in Aotearoa New Zealand to Cape Town, South Africa. The conference will take place in the stunning surrounds of University of Cape Town (UCT) campus. Sessions are housed in the newly opened Centre for African Studies (CAS) Gallery and the Snape Building. Four keynote speakers are confirmed; César A. Cisneros Puebla, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Iztapalapa; Keyan G. Tomaselli, University of Kwazulu-Natal;Jean Clandinin, University of Alberta; and Nolwazi Mkhwanazi, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.
The move to the African continent—and then to South America (Santiago, Chile) in 2018—mark a significant turn towards truly internationalizing the Association and the hui itself. The CEAD itself can provide a touchstone for its delegates, a biannual oasis for intellectual and spiritual replenishment and renewal. Every year seems to get better with this group, and 2014 was no exception. Our keynotes earned standing ovations, and the ACEAD was incorporated as an Aotearoa/NZ Association. The official name is "The International Contemporary Ethnography Across the Disciplines Association Incorporated," and all who have been delegates of this hui (2010, 2012, 2014) are de facto members. So, to keep it straight: ACEAD—Association of CEAD (established in 2014); CEAD—conference/hui.
Expand your worldview with CEAD! With us, see the Southern Hemisphere: in 2016, Cape Town, South Africa; in 2018, Santiago, Chile! Make plans now for our prestigious ethnographic conference, with fabulous cutting edge researchers and practitioners delivering intriguing keynotes; intensive pre-conference workshops with world-renowned qualitative researchers; Special Interest groups; and the chance to replenish your researcher's spirit. The CEAD welcomes all forms of engagement in ethnographic disciplinary practice, and aims to stimulate rich intellectual discourse. In the ACEAD Constitution, in fact, this goal is made explicit:
- CEAD recognizes that contemporary ethnography has wide-ranging, shifting interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary manifestations and that those who populate such ethnographic endeavours need forums to disseminate their knowledge, collaborate, and garner encouragement and critique from others. (2014, p. 1)
As a Southern Hemisphere conference, CEAD offers a richness of perspective that is slightly counter to the dominant, hegemonic worldview of many ethnographic pieces; for example, informed by a Kaupapa Māori wordview of "research," discussions of participant/researcher "ethics" take on a decidedly-richer, more nuanced, view. Broadening our scope to the continent of Africa, we hope that African qualitative researchers will draw upon African indigenous forms of knowledge to enliven, enrich, and inform current dominant, experimental, and emerging forms of the ethnographic project. As always, we expect that researchers and practitioners from across the disciplines of law, anthropology, arts & letters, education, geography, health, management, business, psychology, sociology, cultural, Kaupapa Māori, African Studies, and ethnic and gender studies—and any other discipline where ethnography advances scholarship and public understanding of the way groups and individuals interact and live their lives into being—will seek to share in the rich diversity that this biannual conference and hui provides.
The major theme for the hui in 2016 is Ethnographic Imaginings: Place, Space, and Time and there are four major content streams for exploration (read more about each one here). All abstracts are peer-reviewed, and submitters will be notified of acceptance status in a timely manner. Submit your abstract today.
- Emerging Methods: Traditional, Experimental and Transgressive Forms
- Praxis and Advocacy: Doing Ethnography on the Ground
- Social Justice and Transformation: Theoretical Ethnographic Visions
- Indigenous Voices: Communicating Peoples

does anyone know if there is a way to convert a ruger 10/22 lr into a .22 magnum? barrel magazine and bolt replacement i would assume.

The .22 WMR is much, much longer than a .22LR.
I don't think that a magazine for WMR would fit in the same magwell, or that the .22WMR brass would clear the ejection port of a regular 10/22.
You can buy a Volquartsen Custom that will shoot magnums, though. Uses Ruger 77/22 Magnum magazine.
January 6, 2008, 12:56 PM
you can't.
January 6, 2008, 01:00 PM
No, but you can build one from aftermarket parts.
January 6, 2008, 01:09 PM
You can also buy a used one made by Ruger.
They offered a .22 Mag version of the 10/22 a few years ago.
It had a steel receiver.
Apparently the aluminum .22 RF receiver wasn't up to the task.
And apparently the steel receiver didn't solve all the problems, because they dropped it from production shortly after it was introduced.
January 6, 2008, 01:24 PM
The 10/22 magnum model was just discontinued not very long ago. I remember reading about it but don't remember the date. Ruger was not impressed with quality I remember reading.
And yes, you can convert a 10/22 to a magnum. It has been done two or three times that I remember reading about on RimFireCentral. Search for it there and you will find the threads somewhere. If I recall, it didn't sound at all worth it.
January 6, 2008, 01:52 PM
Here are a couple threads from RFC. Looking at the amount of work that the conversion requires, I'd agree that it's not worth it when aftermarket receivers are available.

New 'Other Genre' Fiction for September, this month featuring New Zealand writers
This month we have a sample of the diversity of our writers, with short story collections, historical novels, futuristic novels, and murder mysteries all included.
Tumbledown Manor / Helen Brown.
"Life's going down the gurgler for romance writer Lisa Trumperton. The deadline for her next novel is looming, her daughter won't eat but has a new tattoo each week, and now her Wall Street trader husband has run off with a woman at work. Lisa makes a quick escape, home to Australia, where at least her girl-magnet son seems to be making hay. Determined to grow older disgracefully, she turns her back on a trim and tidy townhouse that is close to shops, aged-care providers and her bossy older sister, instead buying a grand old house in the country that once belonged to her great-grandfather. But like its new owner, Trumperton Manor has seen better days. Crumbling, filthy and possibly haunted, the old house defies Lisa's attempts to restore it. Add flood, fire and family secrets, plus a stray cat with attitude and an overly familiar handyman, and the cracks begin to show." (Adapted from Syndetics summary)
Astonished dice / Geoff Cochrane.
A collection of Wellington writer Geoff Cochrane's published short stories. All written in his edgy, terse, humorous style giving glimpses of lives lived slightly outside the norm.
Four of a kind / Shannon Clayton.
"Have you ever had one of those days where everything that could go wrong does? Deborah Hayes is dealt that exact hand when dosaster strikes at an event she's managing, giving her publicity for all the wrong reasons, not to mention breaking up with her English boyfriend. And the trouble doesn't just end there, but when Deborah starts to investigate she can't help but feel like the universe is trying to warn." (Adapted from Book cover)
The naturalist : a novel / Thom Conroy.
"A fascinating, moving novel based on the real life of Dr Ernst Dieffenbach: scientist, explorer, revolutionary, outcast. Featuring Darwin, Charles Heaphy and the notorious Te Rauparaha, this novel connects New Zealand's past with world history and brings alive the story of this remarkable man." (Adapted from Book cover)
The sovereign hand / Paul Gilbert.
"Thorn, the gilded capital: bedecked in steam and the dust of convoys bearing riches from across the earth. From here, wise and ruling hands have ensnared all Aurawn in a great story, a Primacy of Peace. A land where every person – humans, gobelin, or drake – can dream, toil hard and succeed. Of course, not everyone sees things that way. But when Alexa Temperen stands above Crucible Square and denounces the First and all his government for their injustices, the last thing she imagines is that she'll soon be working for them, as a champion: one of the Sovereign Hand." (Adapted from Book cover)
Shamejoy / Julie Hill.
"ShameJoy (English for schadenfreude) is a collection of smart, darkly comic short stories about pop psychology, pop music, politics and Germans". (Adapted from Syndetics summary)
The Witzke woman / Allan Marriott.
"I walk home through a night when the moon is dark. I do not remember crossing streets and do not remember falling but my knees soon bleed to my ankles. I do not know what happened to my hat but I never see it again. I do not know what I do with the spade and guess it probably lies alone in a ditch. In the morning, all I have is the gun and quiet bullets. This is no way to carry out a final solution." (Adapted from Book cover)
Mistory : a novel / Philip Temple.
"Following Annie's strange death, her partner is forced to think about what he has allowed to happen to his life, his community and his country. His diary, kept during the year of The Change, reveals how the example Annie left him, and the mission of his young sister Sophie, drive him to escape the life of a bureaucratic cipher and work with the Movement in its fight to bring back a free and fair way of life. A tale of life at mid-century that reveals what the future may hold if we ignore the threats that face us and carry on with 'business as usual'." (Adapted from Syndetics summary)
Fallout : a Tito Ihaka novel / Paul Thomas.
"For 25 years McGrail has been haunted by the unsolved killing of 17 year old who was murdered at a 1987 election night party, but finally a witness comes forward with a scrap of information which sheds light on one of the many mysteries surrounding the case and prompts McGrail to instruct Ihaka to look into it. Ihaka, meanwhile, is embroiled in a very personal mystery. A freelance journalist has stumbled across information that Ihaka's father Jimmy, a trade union firebrand and renegade Marxist, didn't die of natural causes. Meanwhile Van Roon is unexpectedly hired by a PR man, acting on behalf of a shadowy tycoon, to investigate a reported sighting of a political powerbroker who vanished without trace in 1987. The three strands weave themselves into an exciting climax in an atmosphere of political maneuvering and intrigue surrounding New Zealand's confrontation with the USA over its anti-nuclear stance." (Adapted from Syndetics summary)
ʻAvaiki Tautau : homeland beneath the stars / Keith Tonkin ; illustrated by Spike Wademan.
"Avaiki Tautau is a story set 8-900 years ago when Polynesian navigators made their last and most spectacular journeys to settle the last habitable landmass on Earth, ʻAvaiki Tautau, later to be known as Aotearoa (New Zealand). The story follows Teipe, a boy otherwise destined to be a warrior had not he, his family and friends been chosen by his chief, Tamatea to accompany himself and others leave their native Rarotonga and begin again in the new ʻavaiki, a future homeland that dangled beneath stars far to the southwest." (Adapted from Syndetics summary)

GM recall repairs could take weeks for some in western Pennsylvania
A service technician can make the repair in about an hour.
But the owners of Chevy Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other cars included in a General Motors ignition switch recall can expect to wait for weeks for the repairs to be made while dealers wait for parts.
GM dealers, both in western Pennsylvania and around the nation, are working to install new parts on about 2.6 million cars included in a massive recall, prompted by claims that keys can turn themselves off, leaving cars without power brakes, power steering and even air bags.
Norman Poniatowski, a GE Transportation retiree who lives in Summit Township, said he was breathing a sigh of relief after a local GM dealership replaced the ignition switch Monday on a 2007 Cobalt he bought for his granddaughter.
Poniatowski said the car turned off twice in recent months, including once when the car lost brakes and slid through a stop sign.
Poniatowski said he was satisfied with his dealer, but unhappy with GM, which didn't provide parts for several months after he first contacted the company in January.
The good news is that the repair process seems to be gathering speed.
Rick Walker, the service manager and an owner of Walker Brothers Buick Chevrolet in Edinboro, said that earlier this year it was taking months for the parts to arrive from GM.
Now, he said, the wait is about a month from the time a customer contacts his dealership.
"I hope it gets faster, and I think it will now because they (GM) are gearing up production," he said.
GM had fixed nearly 200,000 recalled cars and dealers had received 400,000 repair kits as of June 16, according to a report published Tuesday in AutoWeek.
Tim Betts, service manager of Community Chevrolet near Meadville, said customers there are waiting four to six weeks to have repairs made.
The delay isn't for lack of effort, Betts said, explaining that technicians are coming to work early and staying late to replace switches at a rate of 60 or 70 a week.
"Whatever we can do to accommodate the customer," Betts said. "We try to pick them up or anything we possibly can. They have been through enough already. We don't need to add stress to their lives."
GM, which has suffered a challenge to its reputation in recent months, is making moves to hasten the repair process. The company is offering service and parts managers $250 in credit redeemable at an online gift shop if they can install at least 90 percent of the ignition switch replacement kits by July 7, Automotive News reported.
Betts said the company is also paying for rental cars for owners who don't feel comfortable driving their cars until the repairs are made.
Walker said, however, that most of his customers have continued to drive their old cars.
"I think a lot of people are taking this in stride," he said.

CDC Whistleblower Says Test Misses Too Many Zika Cases; US Special Counsel Calls For Review
The US CDC-promoted Trioplex Zika virus test that won an FDA emergency-use authorization in March is nearly 40% less sensitive than a rival CDC Zika test called Singleplex, a CDC microbiologist whistleblower told superiors in April. A review of his complaints by HHS and CDC did not substantiate that, and CDC demoted him. The US Special Counsel sent a letter to the White House this week asking for further review.

USC football is at a crossroads.
The team is coming off an embarrassing loss at home to Washington State, and the program is coming off a disappointing finish to the 2013 recruiting cycle, plus 2014 recruiting is not going as well as it has in the past.
For the Trojans to turnaround their recruiting, they need to re-establish the fence around their state. California has several elite recruits in the 2014 class who USC must not allow to slip away from their clutches.
An athlete from a traditional USC pipeline could choose another school, while a cornerback who attends a school the Trojans have recently gotten three great receiver prospects from has other schools on his mind. Also, a mauling guard could opt for an SEC team.

The BlueClaws have won fifteen of their last twenty games. In addition to their strong team play, individual achievements have been accomplished as well.
Matt Maloney was named Pitcher of the Month for June in the Phillies' minor league system, while Greg Golson won the Player of the Month for June. Maloney is tied in the South Atlantic League for first in wins (10), first in strikeouts (114) and in earned run average (1.59). "I'm happy with the way things have been going," Maloney said. "I still feel good. Not really tired at all. Hopefully I can keep it that way the whole rest of the year."
Golson's average has sat around the .190 mark all season, but he is now hitting .220 with six home runs, 27 runs batted in, and he's 17-for-23 in stolen bases.
"He has really stuck with his program, worked hard, and got his batting average up some," Huppert said. "He put a real good month together and it's all contributed to him because he's worked real hard. He has been covering the plate real well, driving the ball the other way, and looking for good pitches to hit."
Another player who has been struggling at the plate all season and is beginning to improve is Welinson Baez. Baez won Player of the Week in the Phillies minor league system after he hit .393 in seven games last week. He racked up eleven hits, with six doubles. He is now hitting .218/.281/.330 on the year with 25 doubles, two home runs, and 33 runs batted in.
