Tips for Your First Deep Sea Fishing Trip

For a truly unique vacation experience, try deep sea fishing in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica offers one of the healthiest fisheries in the world, where twenty-fish days are not uncommon, and fish simply don’t come in small sizes. Los Sueños Marina, which is home to an extensive charter fleet certified by the Costa Rican Ministry of Tourism, reports that dorodo average 40 pounds, and yellowfin tuna often push past the 300-pound mark. Other fish, including wahoo, roosterfish and snapper, as well as sailfish and marlin, also call the coast of Costa Rica home. Maybe the good fishing explains Costa Rica’s ranking as one of the happiest places on earth.

Tips to Help Your Child Get the Most Out of Team Sports

When it comes to improving academic performance, boosting self-esteem and teaching social skills, few things beat team sports. Sports give kids the opportunity to get attention and respect, and to use the natural skills that come with youth, like speed and coordination.

According to one survey of 2,185 children conducted by The Women’s Sports Foundation and  Harris Interactive, kids who played sports or who participated in activities like frisbee, camping and hiking felt healthier and more confident about their bodies than those who did not. Other studies demonstrate that children active in sports perform better in school and are less likely to use drugs as young adults.

Treat Dad to Time for Father’s Day

<b>Treat Dad to Time for Father’s Day</b>“></td> <td> <p>(<a href=NewsUSA) – Father’s Day is quickly approaching, and now is the time to find the best way to spoil your dad. Consider avoiding the boring tie or cheap gadget routine and give Dad a gift that makes his life a little easier around the house.

One of Dad’s most common chores is the yard work, and this year, the team at outdoor equipment manufacturer Husqvarna suggests giving dad something that will help make cleaning up and clearing the yard a more manageable task.

According to James Parello, Marketing Manager at Husqvarna, using a quality tool with great ergonomic features is one way to help make Dad’s outdoor chores easier. “It’s important to choose equipment that is reliable and easy to use. Using the wrong tool not only takes longer, it could cause sore backs, necks and arms, all of which can actually cause accidents to happen.”

Here are a few of the most common tools that will make Dad’s life a little more enjoyable:

* Straight Shaft Trimmer: Equipped with Smart Start technology, the Husqvarna 128L trimmer is light-weight and well balanced, making it easy to quickly trim heavy grass or just do moderate edging.

* Handheld Blower: The light-weight Husqvarna 125B blower has a unique in-line design that prevents twisting forces that are common to most blowers.

* Yard Tractor: The compact size of this Husqvarna YTH2042 tractor makes it well suited for maneuvering around difficult landscapes and through tight spaces. In addition, the performance, power and comfort features make it a machine any dad would enjoy using.

Another thing to consider is that most modern dads appreciate the need to be sensitive to the environment. While shopping, be sure to look for products that feature low emissions and exhaust.

Husqvarna offers a variety of eco-friendly and ergonomic trimmers, blowers, tractors and other outdoor power equipment that any dad will enjoy using, and that will also help get outdoor chores done faster.

Tips for Inexpensive Outdoor Entertaining

<b>Tips for Inexpensive Outdoor Entertaining</b>“></td> <td> <p>(<a href=NewsUSA) – Celebrate the warmer days by hosting an outdoor summertime party or barbecue. It’s easy to add pizzazz to an outdoor party and stay on budget, with accessories and color.

Here are some inexpensive ways to add character to your outdoor get-togethers:

1. Make it colorful. For a fast way to give your party a sense of style, color-coordinate your bowls, plates and cups in attention-grabbing colors. Dollar General stores (www.dollargeneral.com) sell plastic tableware in bright colors and patterns. These items are inexpensive enough to buy in multiples, so if you plan on hosting several parties, you can use one color per occasion, then invite guests to your “pink party” or “orange party.”

2. Pep up your decor with peppers. Add a memorable touch by serving condiments or finger foods in hollowed-out green, red and yellow peppers. Simply cut the stems, and fill the peppers with ketchup, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce or any other condiment. Depending on the peppers’ colors, you may be able to coordinate them with the rest of your tableware.

3. Create a field of dreams. Silk flowers can create a beautiful centerpiece or be used in smaller arrangements around the table. Add a whimsical touch by purchasing a variety of silk flowers and planting them upright in the ground. Use them to mark paths through the yard or to the food tables and seating areas. Silk flowers are inexpensive at stores like Dollar General and are economical enough to buy in large quantities. They’re also more durable than real flowers and can be used again and again.

4. Find unique ways to deter bugs. Certain herbs and flowers repel insects. For instance, sprigs of parsley or tansy may help keep ants at bay, while lavender or mint could drive flies away. Set up decorative bowls of herbs in various spots near the guests’ seating. A larger bowl can be the striking centerpiece of a table. Keep your food safe from unwanted company with mesh food covers.
