On the Horizon: 11th Annual New Jersey Craft Beer Festival
HeyLinky asked:
Want to sample some of New Jersey’s best in craft-brewed beer? Then the 11th Annual Garden State Craft Beer Festival is your ticket. The rain-or-shine event (plenty of tent space to sip undeterred by the elements, should showers come) is where beer fans can enjoy IPAs, altbiers, Belgian ales, American lagers and ESBs — all brewed fresh in the Garden State. If you’re a naval history buff, then the festival location — the USS New Jersey — is a bonus. Take a self-guided tour on the nation’s most decorated battleship and enjoy great beer in the shadow of the Philadelphia skyline. Head over to www.njbeer.org for more details.
Which Craft is Right for Me?
Emma Snow asked:
Diana discovered the joy of pottery after suffering a terrible divorce. Taking a seat at the wheel with a lump of clay, she felt an immediate release. Her mind cleared and her heart rate slowed down. She was able to relax in a way she hadnt for weeks. Better than therapyand medication! she happily reported to her doctor after her first day at a community education class, where she went on to make friends with fellow potters, further enriching her life.
For Kris it was counted cross-stitch. The repetitive motion of the needle passing up and down through crisp cloth put her in a near-meditative state, the way yoga does for some. In this state Kris was able to work out solutions to her daily challenges. It was like the ideas dropped into my mind out of the sky, she told a close friend.
Shawn found furniture restoration to be wonderfully soothing after a stressful day at the office. The raw scent of wood loosened him up, and he was surprised how satisfying it was to sit down at a table he had restored himself.
Such is the world of DIY. Discovering the right craft for your personality and temperament can be a reward that transforms your life.
The crafting world is as wide and diverse as a tropical rainforest. Each crafting activity has unique benefits and challenges. You could spend your entire life just trying out different crafts. While this may be fun, it can be expensive and frustrating. Should you desire to narrow your search down, this article will act as your guide by investigating the world of crafts as they fit into five spectrums. If one activity doesnt suit you, take heart. Crafting is for everyoneyou are bound to find that perfect match.
1. Short-term projects vs. long-term projects.
Do you have a need for immediate gratification? If you do, you might prefer cake decorating, ceramics, candle-making, lotions-n-potions, or cut-n-paste projects (scrapbooking, collage, and decoupage), which deliver results relatively quickly. Conversely, if you are known to possess the patience of Job, needlecrafts and quilting may be your thing. (Although quilting by machine cuts down the time dramatically). If you like long-term projects, pottery and gardening are also excellent choices, since they involve several steps.
2. Fastidiousness vs. playfulness/ looseness
Needlecrafts, baking, and jewelry-making require a meticulous and careful eye, whereas cooking, gardening and cut-n-paste projects are more appropriate for the playful type. Keep in mind that many activities can go either way or are best for those who can balance a bit of each quality.
3. Planner by nature vs. spontaneous to the core
If you dont mind doing a little math, counted cross-stitch, knitting, and crochet are great activities. Needlecrafts, quilting and sewing also require planning and pattern-reading. If all this sounds too boring or frustrating and you prefer to jump headlong into projects as soon as you feel an urge, cut-n-paste, candle-making, ceramics, or pottery may be a better fit.
4. Space available
Do you affectionately call your apartment a cupboard? If you need an activity that takes up little space or can be cleaned up in a jiffy, yarn and needlecrafts can be tucked away in a basket or a drawer. Baking and cake decorating use what you probably already have in your kitchen, and jewelry only needs a modest tackle-box with little compartments for beads and tools. But perhaps you have a room or a whole basement where a hobby could take up a permanent residence? Pottery is such a hobby. If you quilt by hand you will need a room where a fairly large frame can be set up (unless you only want to do baby quilts). A table for laying out and cutting patterns is required for sewing, and most people dont appreciate having to lug out the machine every time you want to work on a project. (However, it can be done.) Lotions-n-potions, and candle and soap making can be done in the kitchen as long as precautions are taken, but ideally they need a separate space, since you are using dangerous chemicals that you dont want to accidentally mix with food. Gardening is ideal if you have a nice-sized yard, but many green-thumbed apartment dwellers find cultivating the space around their windows, on their patio, or even potted indoor plants a satisfying diversion. Dont lose heart if you dont have space for an activity that interests youjust sign up for a community class!
5. Available funds for expenses
Each craft has a range of what you could pay for the activity, depending on your taste and willingness. If you are picky about using only hand-dyed, organically grown 100% wool yarn, you are going to pay a lot more than someone who works with an acrylic yarn available at the closest Woolworths. It is a good idea when just starting out to borrow someone elses equipment, or use inexpensive supplies until you know it is an activity you are going to stick with. Then you can slowly replace your supplies with quality items that you appreciate. On average, pottery and sewing require more expensive equipment to begin, while you can garden, cross-stitch, or cut-n-paste on a shoestring budget. Yarn crafts are the cheapest activities to try, since they dont require a lot of expensive equipment to start. Again, a class might be the best investment for the more expensive hobbies.
If you still aren’t sure which craft is right for you, talk to other crafters about why they enjoy their craft. Ask if you can join them one day to see if it is something that appeals to you. Be patient with yourself as you begin each new activity–nothing kills the excitement of trying something new more than impossibly high expectations. Don’t worry–as you continue, your skills will improve. You will also know better which activities suit you best.

Casino Jobs in Atlantic City – Dealers, Bartenders, Internships
Jeff Craft asked:
If you live in the Eastern parts of the U.S. and you are considering a casino job, Atlantic City may be the first thing that comes to mind. When you think of casinos in Atlantic City, Donald Trump is at the top of the list. The second largest gambling city has endless opportunities. Some have training programs, internships, and hands-on training. Besides working on the casino floor bartending, waiting, or dealing, there are many other employment opportunities available, some of which require extensive knowledge and/or degrees.
Trump Entertainment Resorts, comprised of Trump Plaza, Trump Marina and Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic runs a tight ship and offers many opportunities to work your way up the corporate ladder. They offer an excellent three-month internship program.
Internship positions are paid $10.00 per hour. Interns receive free meals during their scheduled shift. They are provided free uniforms and free dry cleaning (for required positions). They are also offered cash scholarships for the top students at the end of the program.

This is an eight-week program, which begins in early June. There is limited housing available at a minimum cost for those living over two hours away.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
Getting a job running a game at a casino requires applicants to secure state licensing everywhere in the U.S. Obtaining a dealer license will always require a criminal background check to determine eligibility. There may also be a financial background and tax status check run. The specific requirements in any given state will vary. The casinos themselves can have their own standards as to financial reporting.

Textile Crafts of Gujarat – a Rich Cultural Heritage
http://www.fibre2fashion.com asked:
Introduction
The state of Gujarat in India, popularly known as the ‘Manchester Of the East’, has a rich heritage of textile crafts. The arid region of Kutchh is the richest in the state in terms of cultural heritage. However, there are several other parts of the state which specialize in some form of textile craft or the other. In this article, we have outlined some of the traditional textile crafts of this beautiful state and have attempted to analyze the scope of these crafts.
Bandhni
The craft of ‘Tie & Dye’, typically known as ‘Bandhni’ or ‘Bandhej’ in Gujarat is practiced in several areas of the state. The term ‘Bandhni’ is derived from the Hindi word ‘Bandhan’, this means ‘tying’. Bandhni from Jamnagar, Anjar and Bhuj are particularly renowned. The Bandhnis from these areas differ from those of other regions in terms of designs and craftsmanship. In Jamnagar, Bandhni work is done on a special type of silky material. Initially, Bandhni work was done only on sarees. Later on, Bandhni salwar kameezes began to be produced. Nowadays, there are many items available in Bandhni, ranging from blouses and scarves to bedsheets and ties. Usually, Bandhni is done in bright colors such as red, green and black. Handmade colors were used earlier; but the scenario has changed now. The traditional patterns used in Bandhnis are dots, squares, waves and stripes. Bandhni is generally done on cotton, silk or satin material. The communities of Muslim Khatris in Kutchh have been doing Bandhni work since generations.
Gujarati sarees
There are different types of sarees that Gujarat is famous for. One of them is the ‘Gharchola’, which is woven with silk and zari threads. Bandhni work is then done on them or they are block-printed. Gharcholas are traditionally used as wedding sarees. The saree is divided into squares by white bandhni dots or stripes of zari. The number of squares are usually in multiples of 9, 12 or 52. Motifs like elephants, parrots, flowers and dancing girls are generally found in each compartment.
The ‘Patola’ saree produced in Patan, North Gujarat, is another type of saree that is well known. These sarees are handwoven and involve traditional patterns such as leaves, flowers, parrots and dancing girls. Patolas are generally produced in the red color with white, dark green and yellow patterns. Patola sarees are also considered to be wedding sarees. Simple traditional looms are used for weaving and natural dyes made from vegetable extracts and other natural colors are made use of. These colors are fast and do not fade easily. In fact, there is a Gujarati saying “The Patola will tear, but the color will not fade.”

Do You Know How a Mezuzah is Crafted?
Anita Satin Choudhary asked:
There are numerous Jewish homes that put a Mezuzah on every door both inside and on the outside entrances and exits, while some homes only display a Mezuzah on the outside entrances.
A Mezuzah has many defined steps that have to be followed as per the religious Jewish Laws on how to protect the ‘Halacha’, which is the Mezuzah scroll. There are Jewish Laws on how to position the Mezuzah, the doorways of where to locate the Mezuzah, and how often to check the Mezuzah. The silver Mezuzahs are purely hand-crafted oblong cases styled in many designs and Mezuzah covers do need special care.
There are other materials which are used to handcraft a Mezuzah besides silver.
A Mezuzah is a beautiful handmade silver Judaica object, which contains the written Jewish prayers by a scribe on a parchment in Hebrew. It is hung by a nail on the door post of Jewish homes as a constant reminder that God is in your thoughts at all times. The Mezuzah is a physical reminder to keep God in mind as you come and go to and from your blessed home. There are numerous Jewish homes that put a Mezuzah on every door both inside and on the outside entrances and exits, while some homes only display a Mezuzah on the outside entrances.
A Mezuzah has many defined steps that have to be followed as per the religious Jewish Laws on how to protect the ‘Halacha’, which is the Mezuzah scroll. There are Jewish Laws on how to position the Mezuzah, the doorways of where to locate the Mezuzah, and how often to check the Mezuzah. The religious Jewish Law states that the Mezuzah Scroll must have two covers, with one being the protective material of a wax paper or any type of greaseproof and waterproof paper. The second cover would be of round tube like casing made of silver for the rolled up scroll to be securely put into. The silver Mezuzahs are purely hand-crafted oblong cases styled in many designs and Mezuzah covers do need special care.
When using a Silver Mezuzah make sure that it is of the right size so that there is enough breathing room for the scroll, as not to damage it. The other concern is problems of oxidation of silver which may damage the inner scroll, if care is not taken. Make sure to polish your silver Mezuzahs often, but remove the scroll first.
There are other materials which are used to handcraft a Mezuzah besides silver. The main point of consideration before choosing the metal mezuzah is whether it are going to be placed outside or inside the home. When placing the Mezuzah outdoors the materials must be able to weather extreme climate appropriate. Materials such as silver, gold, stone, wood or any whitish tone of protection should be considered so as to deflect strong sun light, unlike darker colors or transparent materials. Moisture is also an important concern, if there is a lot of rain, moist humidity or condensation would start affecting the Mezuzah on the outside or the parchments inside.

Would you support a government program that gives you more choices to fit your needs and not the governments?

In the United States the lobbies and the politicians seem to craft legislation that makes them look good but takes our power and choices away. Every time this model is tried the lobbies fight this. Social Security privatization is an example. Why not ask for more choices out of your politicians?
