Robert, have you looked at Benjamin Garth's book on eating fire without getting
indigestion?  It has been advertised in the last issue or two of Juggler's World
magazine.

I don't do the flame, myself, but those who do seem to like and value this
book.  Check it out.

  The Ft. Wayne juggling festival suffered from low attendance this
weekend.  The organizers had changed it's location from last year's to
Franke Park Pavillion where it had historically been held.  They could only
get a date that conflicted with the Columbia, Missouri fest.  Registrations
dropped from around 100 last year to 35 this year.  The vast majority of 
those 35 people were there Saturday.  Friday and Sunday attendance was 
closer to 10 or 15.  
  I don't understand why the Pavillion was considered so desirable that 
they were willing to go up against Columbia.  The location is fairly scenic, 
but the ceilings only moderately high (about triple-spin high.)  
  Otherwise a good time though.  Thomasl and Fritz Grobe of Bloomington 
were there Saturday.  As was Juniors 1991 IJA competitor Shawn Blue and 
Merry Spahr of Dayton and Bill Dietrich of Erie, Penn.  The Ft. Wayne 
people are good guys -- they just made a massive scheduling error.  I hope 
it works out better for them next year.

		---------->DONATIONS<----------

HI. My name is Colin Mertes, and I am a juggler that teaches a class for inner
city kids in the city of Oakland, California. I week long class is held in the 
Eastern Hills of California in the mountains at a camp.The event is sponsered 
by Studio One Arts Center in Oakland California. At the moment we are facing 
a serious budget crunch in the Arts Center. We are asking for help so that 
we can teach the kids how to juggle. Last year we had only 9 clubs, and about 
one dozen beanbags to use all loaned to us  by fellow jugglers. In 
my class alone I had 20 kids in it. The shortage of materials
resulted in students not being able to learn as quickly. 
We are hoping that by making this post that fellow jugglers and or companies 
out there can donate equipment for the students to learn. We project that this
 year my class will have about 25-30 kids! We are looking for beanbags, 
juggling clubs, Diablos, Rola Bolas, Rings, Cigar Boxes, scarves, Devil sticks,
 stage balls, a unicycle if possible, and what ever people can donate. 
	The equipment does not have to be new, only fuctional! This equipment
will than become property of Studio One Arts Center for use on special events,
such as summer classes, and future classes at camp. PLEASE if you can help us
that would be great. What ever we can do to show these kids how to juggle, they
would love it. The  150 kids that attended camp last year, voted the class I 
taught was voted the best class of the camp, and it was the first year they 
had ever had a juggling class. Next year looks to be even more promising.
        If you can help in any way possible, PLEASE call me at 707-526-7703
I will be glad to answer any questions that you may have about this.

	PLEASE	DONATE ANY EQUIPMENT THAT YOU MAY HAVE, BUT DO NOT WANT!!!

one at a time to juggling-request@piggy.cogsci.indiana.edu

to reconstruct:

With respect to Dale Jone the Spring 1992 issue of Juggler's
World says:

The Statler Brothers introduced their nationwide Nashville
Network audience to Dale Jones during a recent show. Jones one
armed four minute comedy routine included balancing a tennis racket
on his foot while playing a bugle and juggling two balls with one
hand, eating a head of lettuce, and performing a four bag
multiplex juggle. The unique multiplex he caught and threw three
balls with one hand while bouncing the fourth off his knee or
foot. Jones, a St. Louis juggler who lost the use of one arm in a 
childhood accident, also got a nice writeup from the Associated
Press in December. He performs mainly at fairs in the Midwest.

You might also want to dust off your March 1982 issue of Juggler's
World which has an article on Dale Jones. It says (in part):

Writing about Dale Jones, you have to point out his handicap
first, because of the remarkable way in which he's worked around it
to become a successful performer.
	"I hurt my right arm when I was eight and had a lot of surgery
on it," said the 25-year old St. Louis, MO, resident. "It fused my
wrist and thumb and I can only move the first two fingers. I can't
grip a ball with my right hand."
	The crippled arm, stymied in its growth, would seem to 
prevent most juggling...
	"My style has definitely been influenced by my handicap,"
Jones explained. "I learned to juggle two in my left hand at age
14, but was all one-handed for four years. Everyone would ask me if
I could do three, and I was determined to figure out a way. It
wasn't until I started doing two tennis rackets in one hand that
I got it. First I tried to get a normal cascade going between
three balls in my left hand, bouncing them off the tennis racket
I held in my right hand. But I couldn't catch the thrown balls
softly enough on the racket. Finally I figured out this multi-
plex pattern that works great, and I've developed a lot of 
variations for it, too.
	The unique multiplex move appears quite natural on stage. 
Viewers often don't notice that his right hand is barely
functional. He depends on his wit to carry a large part of the
show also.
	The versatility of his juggling and precision of his balance
tricks make Jones an instant IJA favourite. His creativity and
cheerful ability to accomodate a harsh twist of fate make him an
inspiration as well.

He's a terrific gu and a great juggler. If you every get a 
chance to see his show, don't miss it!
	Keep throwing things ... up!

  This is where I think most of the problems come from.  If you are 
retrieving jp2 via ftp then the .exe and .hnd must be retrieved in BINARY 
and everything else (including .pat and .gen files) must be retrieved in 
ASCII (TEXT).
  If you then must transfer the files from your mainframe to your PC, again 
you must make sure the .exe and .hnd files are transfered in BINARY and 
everything else in ASCII (TEXT).

  I retrieved jp2 last evening.  Very impressive, Ed!  It is well worth 
getting even if you already have jugglepro.  I didn't get around to 
checking multiplex patterns -- but evidently they are supported.  So jp2 
does it all.

I thought the three days were fun, the organisation was not as
good as it could have been.  The main hall was hot and
overcrowded, except at 8:30 on Sunday, however there were enough
outdoor areas to spread us around. 

I stayed at the Poly so I cannot comment on camping, the good
thing about the Poly was the cooked breakfast, even the fire
alarm at 7:30 on Saturday didn't worry me too much :-)

The shows were not as good as they could have been, some of the
acts were really good, for example "The Club Meeting", and
Stompy's jump from the truck, I felt that there was enough
material to make one good show, unfortunately this was spread
over two nights.  As a general principle I would have prefered
to only have "juggling" acts (that is juggling in the wider
sense of the word) if I want to see a conventional caberet I
will go and see one. 

I also went to both business meetings, I thought the
arrangements for future conventions was about as good as we
could get it, I know Birmingham (1993) have not prepared as much
as they could have but given the choice of Birmingham or nothing
I know where my vote goes.  I also agree with the idea of
arranging conventions years in advance and while it would be
nice to have a meeting in Wales or Scotland I think that
Manchester (1994) and Norwich (1995) deserved my support. 

For me the second business meetings, about the startup of the
British Juggling Federation was more important, I have expressed
my views about the lack of organisation in British Juggling on
the net before.  I believe it makes it hard for new jugglers to
join in the British Juggling scene, and it allows those who
don't juggle to think juggling is an activity practiced by a few
weirdos wearing silly cloths.  I still believe that there is a
need for an organisation that keeps British Jugglers informed,
and not just via "your local organiser", it looks like the BJF
may not fill this role.  I decided not to become a board member
of the BJF because it has enough male, hobby jugglers, from the
South East already, however I do intend to make a submission to
the initial board meeting.

I have downloaded jugglepro several (no... many) times and have yet to see it work.  I've followed the directions and gotten it to load.  The problem starts 
when I go to show the pattern.  The screen turns black and a message appears 
saying press space bar to exit repeat or any other key to exit.  The problem
is that there are no ball or hands.  The hands have shown up before when I go
directly to show pattern without loading a pattern.  I know this is where they
should show up, but nothing happens.  I would have thought something was wrong 
with my graphics card, but I've been able to get the hands to show up.
Anyways, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong.  I'm about to give up and this is my last try.
Thanks in advance.

When they were in Burlington, VT. We juggled with them.
They were real nice to us.  I did not actually get to
throw clubs with them, but some of our better jugglers
did.  
Unfortunatly I could not juggle clubs at the time.
They are real nice guys though...as is Avner the Ecentric.

In fact this notation can be used for any number of hands as it stands.
At the moment it describes the throws at successive points in time and
then you simply interpret these throws as occuring in alternate hands.
If you have three or more hands, though, you can simply say that the
hands take it in turns to do the throw.

Multiplex then works by taking two or more of these patterns and
superimposing them on each other, giving multiple throws and catches
at each point in time.

The only thing that this notation doesn't immediately give you is
simultaneous throws from multiple hands.  However, mathematically,
that is best regarded as multiple patterns with specified change
over points.  Thus two people each juggling with two hands is not
a four handed pattern, but is a "product" of two two-handed patterns.

Mind you, it all comes down to the same thing in the end, and that
is a useful way of viewing juggling, and no doubt there will be some
aspects that are easiest described from one viewpoint rather than
another.  I personally find MHN extremely unnatural and difficult,
and the other notation rather easier to visualise, but then, I did
come up with that one for myself, so that's not surprising.

I look forward to trying out JugglePro 2.0, and maybe one day I'll
get around to posting the animation program I and a friend wrote.

I can't tell you where the first three were held, but at the
British Juggling Federation / Convention Meeting it was decided
that one year is not enough time to prepare so the next three
conventions will be

    1993   Birmingham
    1994   Manchester
    1995   Norwich

(start preparing your bids for 1996 :-) ) also 15 board members
were selected to serve on the BJF board when the BJF becomes a
legal entity.
