Yes it took me a long time.  Yes I moved.  Yes my computer address
has changed.  But let's just THANK GOD that the new version has finally
been completed.  I don't care that there wasn't that much activity.
The fact is:  it's here,  it's up to date,  and it's begging for more
talent to fill it's huge listings.

What is this marvelous thing?    It's the Record Book.
The new record book is here! The new record book is here!
Rah Rah Rah and all that....

The most active participant since the last version was Grinnell College.
Some shaker cup tricks were added to the list.  The club I am now
a member of, The Coconut Grove Juggling Exchange, has now joined the record
list.  Unfortunately we don't have any place to juggle anymore due to 
Hurricane Andrew which hit right where we usually meet. What a mess!

Anyway,  have fun pouring over the listing.  If you havn't seen this
before and you want to get involved then let me know.  I have some
text describing what you need to do to get your clubs records on the
list.  I'll send it to you at your request.

Warning!  My following posting is HUGE!

Subject: Another juggling network....
Organization: Computer Science, Indiana University

Tonight at juggling practice I discovered that there is another
juggling network out there. It doesn't sound terribly big, but I did
see about 20 pages of postings - the typical stuff, people bemoaning
the fact that they had no-one to juggle with, people asking what sort
of props to buy and where from etc.

They are on GENIE, which I have heard of before and which, I think,
is a public access bulletin board. Does anyone out there on the net
know anything more about GENIE? Maybe we can set up a gateway to them
from rec.juggling. It would be easy if we could get mail to them.

Anyone know any details? e.g. a phone number to get to the BBS.

    Its all very well all these people standing there throwing lots
of objects in the air (I do it myself sometime) but there must be
some other diabolists out there. How come we never get a mention ?
    Anyway, here's a tip for anyone out there who wants to try
something different:

                Saucepan lids make good diabolos

    They obviously have to have round knobs and it helps if they're
fairly heavy as they're a bit more stable then. They tend to turn
round as you use them so to get round this either walk round in a
circle or do a round the world trick to untwist the string.
    Have fun with this. Its harder than it sounds but looks really
good.

Just got my copy yesterday and it looks great!  Descriptions seem clear and
I can't wait to start going through the 88 tricks (wonder how many I can learn
before this weekend's Philly Juggling Convention??).

Also, like the bits of humor interspersed through the book; in particular:

	Said the doc to the lad "'tis my guess,
	That you've thrown out BOTH shoulders, no less.
	Tell me, how did you manage
	to do so much damage?"
	Said the lad, "I was tryin' Mills' Mess!"

	For your delight and delectation:

	I ran across the following information in _A History of English
in Its Own Words_ by Craig M. Carver (HarperCollins, 1991)

	... in the thirteenth  and fourteenth centuries, and earlier in
France, a harlot was not even a female.  When Chaucer called the
Summoner "a gentil harlot," he was not referring to the man's sexual
proclivities, but was simply calling him a "gentle fellow."  Its first
meaning, closest to the original Old French _herlot_ or _arlot_, was a
"vagabond," "rascal," or "knave."  It also referred to an itinerant who
worked from time to time as a jester or buffoon, sometimes with other
travelling showmen ("Mynstrel and jogelour, tumbler and _harlot_, wole
not take of the puple bifore that thei han shewid ther craft."
[Minstrel and juggler, tumbler and harlot, will not take (money) from
the people before they have shown their craft (ie., performed)]  
	... A male servant was a harlot, such as the one that follows
the friar in Chaucer''s _Summoner's Tale). ... It was not until well
into the fifteenth century that it referred to a woman, specifically a
prostitute or strumpet ...

	There will be a short quiz next week.

Quoted directly from the October 1992 IJA Affliates Newsletter...
-----
The IJA will hold its first-ever Winter Juggling Festival at the Showboat
Hotel in Las Vegas Sunday, Jan. 3-Friday, Jan. 8, 1993 (with a Saturday night,
Jan 9, option).  Reservations are due by December 1.

Take a mid-winter juggling vacation in termperate Las Vegas, where you can see
the Great Ones on the big stages, then return to the juggling hall to try
those moves yourself!

The IJA invites you to its first Winter Juggling Festival, to be held in the
9,600-square-foot Nachez Complex at the Showboat Hotel in Las Vegas.
Registration for the festival is just $50 ($75 for non-IJA members), and rooms
in the hotel are equally reasonably priced.  One or two people in one room is
$21.60 per night, three people $27.00, and four people $32.40.

To make a room reservation, call 1-800-826-2800 and use hotel code IJA 1033.
There is one night's deposit to hold the room (or use a credit card number)
and you may cancel your reservation up to 48-hours before your stay with no
penalty.  Rooms for Saturday, Jan. 9, are available at the Showboat Hotel on
an availability basis, but because of a large trade show coming to town that
weekend, you should book early if you plan to stay that night.

Your IJA registration fee covers 24-hour juggling in the Nachez Complex and a
cocktail party with Anthony and Nick Gatto and Nino and Romano Frediani.
There will, of course, be nightly excursions to shows on the Strip to see
jugglers like Anthony Gatto, Dave & Sean, Gregory Popovich, Michael Godeau,
David Lucas, and Tim St. John.  Show prices are about $18.00.

But there is more than juggling for you in Las Vegas in January!  See Hoover
Dam and Lake Mead, go horseback riding at Bonnie Springs Ranch, or snow skiing
just 45 minutes away at Mt. Charleston/Lee Canyon.  You can try rock climbing
in Red Rock Canyon (call Richard Dingman at 413/367-9398 for more information),
or check out the Ethel M. chocolate factory, the Liberace Museum, or Wayne
Newton's garage sale!

By making you travel arrangements through Eager Travel, the official travel
agency for the IJA, the IJA will directly benefit and you will be assured of
the lowest available airfare.  Call Eager at 1-800-848-4648.

This is the only notice you will receive about the Winter Festival, so invite
your friends to join you and make your plans now!  For more information call
Ginny Rose 413/367-9398, or send your name, address and registration fee to
IJA secretary Tom Bennet at Box 3707; Akron OH 44314.

Well, the act that caught my attention was the Amazing Mr. Lifto.  apparently  
Mr. Lifto is the proud owner of a botched circumcision, and has turned his  
lemons into lemonade (so to speak) by learning to lift objects using various  
parts of his body, including -- yes, you guessed it -- his private bits.  I  
enjoyed, if that is the right word for it, his lifting two household cinder  
blocks and an iron by means of a chain attached at either end to serious steel  
nipple rings.  Ouch.  And let's see, something was lifted using a coat hanger  
threaded through a hole in his tongue.  Positively yummy.  And of course the  
finale features Mr. L spanking nude lifting some common home appliance ("what,  
the iron again?!") with his wee-wee.

They did the whole show on Sally Jessie Rogers (or whatever it is -- I don't  
have a TV) minus Mr. Lifto's climax.  I understand that the prodigious Mr.  
Lifto has since parted company from the Jimmy Rose Freak Show, and may be  
opening for some cool rock band.

Great taste, less filling

Hello again!

	I just read a reference by C Frog to a four-ball Mill's Mess.  Up to
now, I've considered it a myth.  I thought I saw someone doing it at a
convention a while a ago, but I thought I was seeing things (TOO MANY THINGS!).
	I made some feeble attempts at this weird pattern.  I even got it going
a few times, but I can't figure out how!  It seems to involve a double throw
(a 5 for site-swappers) at some point to some hand at some time.  Please help
me out on this.  This looks like the most visually pleasing trick available
with four balls.  (And if it isn't, tell me how to do the trick that is!)
	Thanks for your help!

I just found a book in a local book store called "Indian Club Swinging"
by Miller published around 1900 or so.  It cost around $14 and has
some way cool pictures of very serious looking gentlemen in striped
leotards.  I didn't get it, but if any club swinging afficionado would 
like it I will do so (ain't I nice).  I don't know much about club
swinging, but given the books age it could well be one of the "bibles"
in the field.
