Hi all,
I am in urgent need of some help here. I am blind and performing is what puts food in my stomach and feeds my dog. Today after I had finished performing and was drining some tea someone came and stole all my equipment light staff glow poi, Fire poi and just a standard set of warmup poi
and light up juggling balls. I am unable to make my own poi due to my lack of sight. So if anyone out there has any juggling/poi they no longer need (I dont care how old and batterered.) If anyone is willing to donate any equipment I would be extremely grateful. I will pay postage or whatever necessary. Cant pay much i am sorry. 
I thought I would ask te online community for help as a last resort. Thankyou
Rosita
Also I was thinking if i can finmd a bunch of like minded people maybe we could do a practice session on clapham common once a week. Anyone interedted?

Hello Anthrax
Ok so we got off on the wrong foot but that slate is now clean. I wasnt seeking pity or trying to beg (Only find help) and I am sorry if it seemed at all that way. I was offended at the time but these things soon pass. I actually posted as i was looking for more blind performers twirlers and fire spinners. I do tight rope and acrobatics a few other things. I am wondering whether there are more people like me. I teach blind kids to read braille and juggle using a set of specially made balls that make sound (electronically) when thrown. I know that onewheeldave was asking me about this. I will explain now how this works. The sound is used to co-ordinate the movemnets and if you miss the ball it lannd on the floor and continue to bllep intermiitantly until located. This improves childrens directional skills and co-ordination.That me roughly other than the fact i train dogs and perform (music as well as poi/circus arts) Thankyou

Huh.
I think I am extremely offended that you all automatically assumed I was being hostile and calling anyone a liar. How is asking the relevance of a detail hostile? I see you all do it every day of each other in countless threads, especially in the Soc Disc. What made this any different?
I wanted an opinion, an answer. Nowhere did I call her a liar or was hostile or accusing her of wrong doing. Those are all implications you read into my post.
I was curious about a detail and asked about it (to which I still have not recieved a full answer here or in PM)
I *never* once said she wasn't blind.
I *never* once attacked her, called her a beggar or anything else I am being accused of.
I also find it intriguing that we have received complaints about this both in PM and email, one by someone offering a very contradictory opinion here.
I take my "mod hat" off when I am inquiring about something out of personal interest and not as a mod and representing HoP. I take great offense to the assumption that I did it to be mean. When I am mean on here, everyone knows it, especially the person I am upset with.
I have also seen sighted people come on here claiming that their stuff was stolen and looking for help replacing it over and over without near as much help or defensiveness being offered.
In my eyes everyone is the same, no matter what, and will get the same treatment from me...which includes me asking questions if I have them. Nowhere in here have I treated Rosita any differently than I have anyone else when I have had a question. Nowhere do I give less or preferential treatment. Why should this be any different?
Her having her stuff stolen sucks.
It does every time someone else has their stuff stolen too.
Nothing changes that. The only way I see it being worse is if someone was outright mugged. But Rosita's circumstance is no different than the hundreds of others who have had their stuff stolen in my eyes.
I've said it before...if you want to find other blind spinners, then put it in the Meet Others section instead of every post you make. It tends to take the edge off how people percieve the posts. Best of luck in that venture.

Pele, I think it was Anthrax and Brit Joes comments, not yours , that pertained to the idea that she might be lying...
And as for Brit Joe saying he did not accuse her of being a liar, but rather that he just mentionned it was a possibility to be aware of in the internet medium- well, yes, technically.But the intent of someone raising it in the way that you did reads as implying guilt. That is probably what raised peoples hackles.
Pele, you say you were just asking a question, so why do people get in a huff? Why was it seen as hostile? Well, I think it might be that it does not come across as a sincere question, a question that is asked for the sole intent of learning something. I suspect many read it as a question asked more to make a point: that you found it - blindness- irrelevant and so should others. It seemed as though you already having a firm opinion on what the correct answer would be, so anything she said would have to be in defense.
I think it sort of sounded like you somehow took issue with her mentionning her blindness for reasons of your own-- particularly because she did actually include a few reasons why blindness was relevent in this situation- not being able to make her own poi, and wanting to connect with others. You do not acknowledge these as sufficient reasons to put mention her blindness , which I find curious.?
Who is to say what aspect of themselves people should or should not include when talking about themselves and their needs? It may not be the least bit important as an identifier for you, but I bet it is for her, cause she is the one living it and chosing to offer up that information.I still can not understand why it would push your buttons int he way it obviously has.
Suggesting that asking about meeting others in with the request she made is inappropriate, and should be placed in the meet others section is silly, lots of times our messages are mixed, and one thought leads to another. To me it was simple and sensible-I just thought she may have wanted to initiate contact as well as ask for help, and make the whole thing more personal and connected.
As for people with impairments/disabilities being able to do things for themselves, no kidding! Of course. But why would you judge whther or not she can or should be able to do that? Just cause someone else can? And you list one example or two of disabled people you know that can, so everyone should? That is absurd. And funny, considering apparently this is one very talented person!Why not just beleive she knows what she can and can not manage? It is just a set of poi, after all. She is not asking for all that much!
Really, I cant even imagine learning and teaching juggling and trapeze without sight.I went without sight for a week, and all the normal stuff was shockingly difficult.I cant even juggle with having sight! It is a pretty exciting idea,how Rosalita teaches, and I am glad to know someone is doing it!
So, Pele, please dont be offended either; maybe everyone should just remember to breathe and gently move on...

Pele, the thing that annoyed me about your post is that you took the thread off topic and started comparing her to other blind people you know.
If "everyone is the same" and blindness doesnt make a difference, why are you comparing her? We are all individuals, we have different strengths and different weaknesses.
Personally I think Rosita is very strong for the abilities she has (sighted or not, she kicks ass!).
Also, yes we do throw our opinions about in social discussion and social chat, as that's where they are meant to be

To Pele and evryone else here, I expect all sorts of comments good and bad. I will admit that your first post Pele did feel very patronising along the lines of (Why should she ask for our help) I can answer that now I had nowhere else to turn Sorry! But I do agree the intenet is a dodgy place and it is not easy to take people at there word. So I understand where the uneasiness comes from. I listened to you video last night Pele about your fire breathing accident. I can tell by the way people talk that you are a genuine person who sometimes put up a hard defence shell (Dont be offended by that please, I think everybody does it at sometime). Thanks

Hi Strugz
Pleasure to meet you digitally. It may be better to send you poi to dunc. He will get them to me. I actuaaly found out what happened from police CCTV. I did actually, have my rucksack tied to my leg (I thought i did). My foot through the armhole. The (censored) that stole it had cut the strap with a knife (Glad I never challenged them now i know that).while his accomplice was talking to me. He had even disconnected the personal alarm that i had on the bag. One of these little personal attack alarms that go off if the string is pulled out. He had taken it from the bag and left it on the ground by my feet. The police are unable to identify the thief but if he tries to come near me, when i get on my feet again. I think he get a whack with my staff (Just joking) Anyway Thankyou
Rosita

Yes it is awful (now I know how it happened.) I have just thought his accomplice was asking me about fir poi and how to spin them etc. What fuel to use. I think that if he tries to use them he will definatley burm himself as he had no idea at all. I did warn him of all the precautions etc. Well anyone that knows what Covent Garden is like, Knows that it has 2000 people running around minding there own business and not paying attention to anything in particular other than themselves.
Thanks

P.S Hope to meet up with some of you somehow.

Yeah, it's on every tuesday
Directions:
Closest Tube: Liverpool Street
Come out of the entrance of Liverpool Street onto Bishopsgate. This is the entrance by the high numbered platforms by WHSSmith, not the entrance by McDonalds or the walkway by Boots.
Turn Cross the road and turn left.
Turn right down Brushfield Street.
Spitalfields Market is the big building on the left just beyond the building site.

Apologies for my ignorance again! Not being blind I haven't been keeping up with technologies for the blind but is it something like a minicom?

Hi Neon Fowl iin Marinade,
I use a screen reader. It an ordinary computer which reads everything on the display. It reads whatever I type and whatever is written on screen. I am using a program called JAWS it basicaaly reads what would be all the normal visual cues. It tells me where there are link and what they are. Does that answer your question?
Thanks

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Hi Rosita, I'm glad you had a good time I'm sure there will be some sort of bus from London to Play, but your best bet is to ask on the play site: https://www.playfestival.co.uk/
There is a wiki there with a lift share page.
I'm also interested as to how the site works with JAWS: I've not been able to test it.
