Q: Whether you're planning a wedding, a family reunion or a simple barbecue, you'll want your lanterns to fit with a theme. White lanterns work well for weddings, while bright colors will brighten up a summer party. Search online for the perfect kind to fit your theme. Pick a holiday-specific color scheme. Christmas events generally feature red and green, while Easter parties use pastel colors like light pink, light purple and light yellow. Look for event-specific lanterns. Some paper lanterns have printed patterns specifically for holidays, like Menorahs for Hanukkah, hearts for Valentines day, or pumpkins for Halloween. If you're having a party to celebrate a game day, use colors from the sports team your group favors. Parties can be held in a variety of different venues: tents, picnic shelters, even boats. You'll need to find fasteners that work for your situation, and most importantly, they'll have to be easy to remove. Think about using adhesive hooks, or try tying your lanterns directly to rafters or tent supports. Decide the placement of the lanterns and the heights at which they'll hang. Look online for ideas to match the setup that you are planning for. Sites like Pinterest have many example photos to help your creativity along. Consider hanging them high up above your guests' heads where they won't be in anyone's way. Tie lanterns across beams or supports. If your event setting has a shelter or tent, hang lanterns across the supports to create a large canopy of lights. Tie lanterns in bunches. Bunched lanterns hanging at different heights create great focal points at your party. Choose a point on a beam or support and tie five to ten lanterns in the same area, all at different heights. Try mixing the sizes of the lanterns to make your bunch even more eclectic feeling. Light a path with lanterns. Hang the paper lanterns low to the ground on short poles to create a cool effect. Use poles made for hanging potted plants, or make your own small poles with hooks. Then place the poles along a path or sidewalk to light the way to your party. Once you've decided how high you want your lanterns to hang, it's time to tie them up using twine or fishing line to create an "invisible" floating effect. Tie a sturdy loop at one end of the twine, then slip it over the lantern's hanging device. Then, tie the other end directly to a beam or loop it over a hook.
A: Decide on a theme. Choose hooks that work for your surroundings. Choose a configuration. Tie strings for your lanterns.

Q: Not every station offers the same contests or prizes. In order to take full advantage of what radio contests have to offer, you have to listen to a bunch of different stations to see what kind of contests they're running. One station could have a call-in contest happening at 2:00 PM, and there may be another contest happening on a different station at 5:00 PM. Once the first contest is over, switch over to the next one and try again. The more contests you try to enter, the better your odds are of winning. If you can, listen to the radio at work, at home, in the car, or even the park.This way you can figure out what each stations' pattern is. See which stations offer more opportunities to win, which have better prizes, and what times the contests run during the day. In order to truly maintain a competitive edge, you have to listen to as many stations as possible and get to know them inside and out. You don't need to have a radio to be able to listen to radio stations. You can pick up stations on iPods, iPads, mp3 players, and your computer. Every station has a website and they usually have sweepstakes or contests you can sign up for on their websites where you don't have to be listening live to win. Go to the website and register for them. This way, you can bypass the time restrictions of live giveaways and save effort. You can also sign up for their mailing lists for upcoming contests. Occasionally, you will get extra clues or times e-mailed to you. Check all the radio stations in your area and see who is giving away what prize; you can switch stations during the day. There are reportedly less contestants who play contests listed on radio station websites which means your chances of winning are higher. Time yourself accordingly to listen for when the call number or song of the day is announced, helping to avoid missing out at the last moment. If you have to call at 9:01 AM, then call at exactly 9:01 AM. You can use your cell phone, computer, cable box, anything that has the exact time. Usually, if a contest is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, they are going to give the signal to call, near the end of the show, to keep you listening as long as possible.
A: Listen to various radio stations. Listen to the radio as much as possible. Research multiple winning avenues. Listen to the rules and clues carefully.

Q: You must have a cellular plan that supports personal hotspots. This method will share your phone's cellular data connection with the computer you are using, allowing you to bypass the regular network. Click here for instructions on creating a hotspot on an iPhone. Click here for instructions on creating a hotspot on an Android phone. This is the easiest way to share your connection, though you can also turn your device into a wireless access point and connect via Wi-Fi. Click the Network icon in your System Tray (Windows) or menu bar (OS X) and select your phone. The computer will connect to the phone's network so that it can use the internet. Once the computer has connected to the phone's network, you can use your web browser to open Facebook. Since you're connecting through you're cellular data plan, you are safe to log into Facebook securely. When you load a webpage on your computer, it loads the desktop version, which typically requires much more data to be transferred than the mobile version of a website. This can become a problem if you have a low data cap or are close to using your monthly allowance. Click here for instructions on checking your data usage on iPhone.
