Article: If the party you're throwing is a small dinner party for 4-12 people, there's no need to make a huge mix, and certainly no call for danceable music. Instead, help everyone relax and feel elegant by putting on some classic jazz. Not just any jazz album will do; look for famous performers, and lean towards variations on songs rather than original compositions (though these are also fine in moderation). You should only need a few albums' worth of music, at most. Don't shuffle your jazz; instead, go through each album in turn, from beginning to end, preserving the intended mood. As for era, stick to the 20 years between 1951 and 1971. Jazz from this period has a classic jazz sound that most people find relaxing and sophisticated. Consider these albums as useful starting points: Solar Energy, Ray Brown Trio with Gene Harris; Time Out, Dave Brubeck Quartet; Kind of Blue, Miles Davis; Idle Moments, Grant Green. You can also try an album of bossa nova (such as Antonio Jobim's excellent Wave) or other "relaxed" sounding music, but be careful not to make your guests feel as though they're listening to elevator music. This works best with a collection of CDs or LPs, but can be approximated with a digital music player. Before the party, set aside every album that's not suitable for the party, leaving only good party albums out in the main area. Put one on as guests begin to arrive, and leave the albums prominently displayed so that people can look through them. Offer to let people play albums, a few songs (or one side) at a time, one pick per person. Your guests will have another activity to play around with, and you can rest assured that only the chosen albums will be played. To be safe, don't leave out any albums that would be difficult or expensive to replace if broken. Parties have been the bane of many a breakable item. Themed mixes aren't only useful at theme parties; they're also a great way to show off a collection that has some depth, and can provide some additional structure to a more public event (like a neighborhood block party). Simply look at your collection and make mixes of your favorite songs from genres you collect or have a special interest in. You can even make more tightly themed mixes for specific parties, such as a maritime theme or a desert theme. People love it when the music matches up to the theme of the evening. An early rock, rockabilly, and bebop mix is great for a sock hop or retro-themed gathering. Funk and classic '70s soul lend a lush, decadent air to any warm summer night. Split your mix between EDM (Skrillex, Tiesto, the Chemical Brothers) and IDM (Bonobo, Aphex Twin, Modeselektor) to create a soundtrack for a rave. (You can learn to crossfade and match beats to make it feel even more authentic, but that's not covered here).

Article: You will want to release them to a natural environment. Turtles are wild animals. They will fare better in their own natural environment than in a home or outdoor aquarium. Release turtles by a wild pond or creek. This is their natural habitat. If you can't release the turtles right away, you will need a proper enclosure with enough water, light, shade, and food. Wild freshwater turtles generally do well outdoors or in a large indoor enclosure. Avoid keeping them in glass aquariums. They tend to be too small. Try a rubbermaid tub with opaque sides. Turtles in glass or see-through containers will obsessively try to climb through or become afraid by activity in the room. Seriously consider on outdoor trap with adequate sun, shade, water, and weeds. A small pond (either natural or homemade in a tub) is best. This acts as a comfortable cushioning for the turtle. A mixture of potting soil, sand, leaf mulch, and sphagnum moss is recommended. Keep this misted everyday to hold humidity. Turtles need a moist, humid environment. Turtles will burrow or nest into the substrate. This makes them feel comfortable. Make the substrate deep enough that the turtle can completely bury itself. Put some flat rocks in the enclosure. This will allow the turtles to sun themselves. Make sure you keep the terrarium or enclosure misted daily. It is very important to keep the turtles habitat very moist or they can develop respiratory problems. Make sure the water is warm so that the turtle does not become disabled if it falls into the water. A shallow pool in a plastic tub will suffice for a pond. Turtles will swim for an hour or more a day. Turtles tend to defecate in their water so it is very important that this is changed everyday. Outdoor enclosures will need to be heated if the temperature drops below 60 degrees. A ceramic heater will help to keep a colder enclosure warm enough for the turtles. All enclosures should provide a cool area and warm area. In hotter climates, make sure that the turtles have an area where there is lots of shade and soil for burrowing. This will help to keep them from getting overheated. Keeping the enclosure misted will help this issue also. Light is also necessary for keeping the turtles healthy and comfortable. Make sure the turtle has a sunny area in an outdoor trap or buy an incandescent bulb for an indoor enclosure. Turtles like to eat insects, vegetables, fungus, weeds and even snails. Try feeding the turtle a small "salad" with some lettuce, grated carrot, and a live earthworm. You can also feed them mushrooms and strawberries. You can buy live insects to feed the turtles at pet stores. Feed the turtles on a flat rock instead of in a dish. This is a more natural way for turtles to eat. If a turtle is reluctant to eat, try misting or wetting the turtle ahead of time. Feed them in a warm area of the enclosure.
