Article: Once you've hung some banners, streamers, balloons, and lights, it's time to add a few decorations that help bring the party's theme to life. For example, if you're throwing an Oscar or a Hollywood themed party, you want to create a red carpet for the room by laying down a piece of red fabric for guests to walk across. For a dance themed party, you may want to hang a mirrored disco ball in the center of the room. For a child's birthday, a pinata that fits the theme makes an ideal decoration. At your local party supply store, you can find inflatable decorations in a variety of fun shapes that fit an array of themes. For example, you might place an inflatable palm tree in the corner of the room for a tropical party, or an inflatable treasure chest in the corner for a pirate themed party. You might not think tablecloths make a big difference in readying your room for a party, but they can add some fun color to help tie the entire look together. They also protect your table or other surfaces in case there are any spills during the party. Choose a bold or bright color that matches the other decorations at the party. Consider laying tablecloths in two or more different colors for a festive look. Make sure to choose one that's slightly larger than the others so the bottom will peek one from underneath the top layer. For a casual party, disposable plastic tablecloths are the best option. They are inexpensive and come in a wide range of colors, so you can some that match the rest of your decorations. For an elegant, sophisticated party, you may prefer fabric tablecloths. They can be somewhat expensive, though, so if you're only going to use a certain color for the party, you may prefer borrowing one from friends or family members. Whether you're having a sit-down dinner or a buffet style meal at your party, it helps to have an eye-catching decoration for the center of the table where you'll be serving food. A floral arrangement is a traditional option -- you can purchase fresh flowers or use artificial or dried flowers to create a centerpiece for the table. If you're not a fan of flowers, you can substitute balloon or create a custom centerpiece that fits your party's theme. For example, if you're throwing a zoo theme party, you might use stuffed animals to make a centerpiece for the table. For a Christmas party, a large bowl filled with fruit, pine cones, ornaments, and garland can make a simple but beautiful centerpiece. For a Halloween party, a jack o'lantern is the ideal centerpiece. For a child's birthday party, you can put vases or jars filled with colorful candy, such as gumballs, rock candy, gumdrops, and lollipops, in an arrangement to create a centerpiece for the table. Create a simple centerpiece for an elegant party by filling a large bowl with water and adding floating candles.

Problem: Article: As soon as you injure your knee, you need to protect it from further harm. When the sprain happens, do not continue to move your knee or perform the activity you were taking part in when you injured it. This will only cause your sprain to get worse. If at all possible, sit down immediately and take pressure off of your knee. If you are in a public place, have someone help you get to the doctor. You don't need to walk too much on your knee until you assess how bad your sprain is. See a doctor as soon as possible. Because it is the most popular method of treating a sprain, your doctor will likely tell you to follow the rest of the P.R.I.C.E. method after your visit. However, if it is a serious sprain, make sure you follow her instruction completely. Within the first 48 hours, the most important thing for you to do for your knee is rest it. This will give the ligament time to heal and repair itself. Your doctor will likely tell you to stay off of it as much as possible in the days after your injury. To accomplish this, she may give you crutches to use. Your doctor may also recommend a splint or a brace if you have issues keeping your knee still in the first few days after your injury. In the first few days, you should ice your knee to help relieve inflammation and pain. Put ice cubes or crushed ice in a sealed plastic bag or take a bag of frozen veggies from the freezer. Wrap the bag in a towel or cloth. Place the ice pack on your knee for 20 minutes at a time. You can repeat four to eight times a day. Do not ice your leg for more than 20 minutes at a time. You could cause cold injury or frostbite if you do. You can also use a cold compress instead of ice. You should continue treating your knee with ice for 48 hours or until the swelling goes down. To help reduce swelling, you should compress you knee in the days after your injury. You need to wrap your knee with an elastic bandage or band. Wrap the bandage tightly enough to support your knee and keep it from moving. However, make sure you do not wrap it so tight that it cuts off your circulation. Take off the bandage while you sleep. This gives the blood in your knee time to circulate freely and your knee will not likely move much while you sleep. You may be able to take the compress off after 48 hours. If you knee is still swollen, however, your doctor may advise you to keep compressing it. During the days after your injury, you should elevate your leg as much as possible. Try to keep your knee above the level of your heart to decrease the blood flow and swelling to your knee. Sit back or lie down on your back. Place two or three pillows underneath your sprained knee to elevate it above your heart. The amount you need to elevate your knee will depend on your environment. If you are sitting up, you may need more pillows than when you are laying down.
Summary: Protect your knee. Rest your knee. Ice your knee. Compress your knee. Elevate your sore knee.

Once you are apart, send out a radio check and wait for a response. Say something simple like, "This Wendy at the old lodge, over." Wait a couple moments before sending out the signal again.
