article: Multiply the amount of cubic feet of helium required for your balloon size by the amount of balloons you want to fill. Since there are various balloon sizes and helium tank sizes, you may want to consult an online chart to figure out the tank size you want. For example, a standard-sized balloon, eleven inches in size, requires .50 cu. ft. of helium. A 50 cu. ft. helium tank can therefore fill 100 eleven-inch balloons, because .50 (amount of cu. ft. required per balloon) x 100 (amount of balloons desired) = 50 (size of tank in cu. ft.). You can buy these or rent them from party supply stores. If you will be blowing up lots of helium balloons often, consider buying one. But if this is a one-time thing, rent one instead. Party stores typically offer helium tanks you can rent for up to three days. You may be able to negotiate a longer time frame, or you could simply go to one of the stores which offer longer-term rentals. Purchasing a tank with between eight and fourteen cubic feet of helium in it costs around $40 to $60. Renting a helium tank ranges from about $25 for 14 cubic feet of helium up to a little over $200 for 291 cubic feet of helium (enough to fill about 525 eleven-inch balloons). Return the item to the store by the time agreed upon when you rented it, so that you don't get charged an extra fee. A safety deposit may be required and late returns may result in a dock from your deposit. How long your balloons stay afloat can vary based on temperature, humidity and altitude. In general, foil or "Mylar" balloons stay suspended in the air between two and fourteen days, whereas latex versions stay afloat for four to sixteen hours. Rotate the inflator onto the nozzle by turning the inflator clockwise as you face the tank. Continue to screw on the inflator until it's tightly attached. For latex balloons, attach the larger, cone-shaped adapter. For foil balloons, attach the smaller, screw-shaped adapter at the tip of the latex adapter. Make sure the appropriate adapter is connected to the inflator. The tank should have a release knob that looks similar to the faucet handle for a garden hose. Turn the knob counter-clockwise.

article: Truth be told, you don't even need a container or any sort to maintain a vibrant vermicomposting setup. If you have a fully shaded spot in your yard, rake your leaves and grass to this area and add any other organic waste, such as kitchen scraps. Water the pile every other day for a week or two, and add a few hundred red wigglers. Use a pitchfork to turn the pile once a week. An additional benefit of a basic compost pile is the increased likelihood that you'll attract native earthworms to your compost as well. Monitor the moisture level of the pile. Make sure it stays moist, but not actually wet, as a pile that is too wet will get too warm for the worms to survive. Build a simple wood frame outdoor to maximize the space you have and to keep costs low. Build your bin as wide and as long as you want, and in whatever shape works best. You can use chicken wiring for walls attached to wooden posts, or use boards for walls as well as supports. The important criteria is that the bin is 8 inches (20.3cm) to 12 inches (30.5cm) inches deep, as this is the depth required for the worms to move around and feed. You can use a plastic storage container to build a bin for use in your garage, shed, or even in your home. Essentially, all you need to do is drill 8 to 12 holes that are a inch in diameter on the bottom and sides of a roughly 18 gallon (68.1L) gallon plastic storage bin . These holes allow for aeration and excess water drainage. If the bedding consistently stays sopping wet, you can add more holes later. Start with about 3 pounds of red wigglers, and know that they will reproduce until there are about 9 pounds of worms in the bin! Build a shallow collection tray beneath the bin to collect the natural "tea" that drips from the bin, which makes an especially good fertilizer for your houseplants. Be sure to keep plastic bins in a relatively cool location, out of direct sunlight. If you live in a hot climate, know that you may not be able to leave a plastic worm bin outdoors year round. Further, keep indoor bins loosely covered to keep light out. Do not use a clear bin, as the sunlight will stress your worms and keep them burrowing towards the center of the bin. You can also simply purchase a manufactured worm bin system. The Can-O-Worms is an especially reliable and simple container you can buy at home improvement stores or online. Structures such as these - usually simply multi-tiered plastic trays stacked together. These bins benefit from portability and are the easiest way to start raising worms indoors.

If possible, ban cell phone use completely during game play. Pulling out a mobile phone while another player is sparring with an angry wizard will destroy the atmosphere in the room pretty fast. If natural light spilling in from nearby windows is distracting and/or conveys the wrong mood, cover them with blankets. Set up the game in a room that doesn't have a lot of other things going on. An empty attic, for example, would be an excellent place to set up. Dim or turn out the lights and use candles. If you'd prefer to avoid possible fire hazards, try repositioning the room's light sources instead. For example, you could move all the lamps into the next room and allow just a little of their light to spill into the game room. You can get even more creative by throwing patterned and/or colored scarves over the lampshades. As the plot progresses, make sure to change up the lighting to coordinate with new scenarios and settings. Music is one option, although most contemporary music would throw off the fantasy setting completely. For a no-fuss solution, stream an internet radio station that plays classical, baroque, or Celtic music. Using non-music sounds can greatly enhance a fantasy setting, as well. For example, you could play a CD that features nature or ocean sounds to intensify jungle or maritime settings and scenarios. Put computers on the other side of the room, out of everyone's direct line of vision. Have the game master sit in a chair that positions them above the other players. You can also use room elements to mimic setting characteristics. For example, in anticipation of a sea scenario, you could set up a fan in the corner of the room to mimic an ocean breeze.
