Loans are ideal for those who have an eye to credit rehabilitation and credit health. Given there are a variety of lenders who work with bootcamps, the below questions are important to ask prior to working with any loan provider.
Is a Loan for Me?
Is a Loan for Me?
What criteria do you use in my underwriting decision?
When will you disclose my final interest rate, APR and any service fees?
How much are my monthly payments?
Will you make me do my own math to figure out my actual costs?
How long will the process take?
What do I need to provide you in support of my loan application?
What happens if I default on my loan?
Can I prepay my loan without penalty?
Do you have hardship options?
Will you give me the best possible rate if I apply on my own?
What happens to my loan in cases of death or bankruptcy?
When thinking about paying for your bootcamp education, you can have a lot of school-sponsored options before you, including multiple lending options. How do you know which one to pick?
1. Understanding short and long-term costs is key.
You've most likely picked a bootcamp based upon your envisioned resulting career. An outcomes-focused school will disclose:
Which employers helped to develop their curriculum
How many students graduate on time
How many students are finding in-field job placement within three (3) to six (6) months after program completion
The median starting salary and top job titles of grads
Similarly, an outcomes-focused student lender will disclose your full costs (rate, estimated APR, and monthly repayment) before you've gone through the full application and financing process.
Why? You deserve to know the costs of borrowing funds to pay for your education before you are a step away from enrolling in your program.
Skills Fund uniquely offers everyone a loan calculator directly on each school's partnership site, to see your (1) interest rate, (2) estimated APR, and (3) monthly payment amount, before you even apply for your loan.
This allows you to make an informed decision on your return on education. You should have a good idea of how much it's going to cost you to pay for your program, and how long it will take you to pay off your loan - all before you apply to the school or to the lender.
2. Understand your repayment plan in full detail (think payment amounts).
Carve out time to map out the different repayment options available to you and the costs associated with each option. Most lenders will provide loan counseling to help you understand these details or upfront clarity on their site.
3. Make payments while enrolled, if you're able to do so.
The quicker you can start paying off your loan, the less your interest on your loan will compound over the life of your loan. Getting a leg up on payments while enrolled is a great way to lower the interest portion of your full repayments after your interest-only or deferment period.
Inquire to see if your lender has prepayment penalties, which will provide you the freedom to make extra payments at any point over the life of your loan, should you choose to do so.
4. Find a lender who will give you a low rate without a cosigner.
Some bootcamp lenders will encourage you to apply with a cosigner to secure a lower rate. Others, such as Skills Fund, will provide you the same low rate with or without a cosigner. If you're empowered to change your life and career on your own, shouldn't you be empowered to secure the best financing rate on your own too?
5. Understand the relationship between your lender and school.
Simply put, do they both have skin-in-the-game around your success?
6. Understand the details of your loan and compare lenders.
For too many Americans - think 44 million Americans with a growing $1.5 trillion in debt - paying off student loans feels like a never ending battle. With cloudy terms and marketing language that doesn't match the actual experience of lending, we as a society should expect more of our lenders.
And now we can. Skills Fund has flipped the student loan model on its head to offer the anti-loan; one in which all loan terms, estimated costs, and details are disclosed before you waste a hard credit check. Skills Fund makes it easy for you to compare loan details and choose the option that's best for you, because ultimately, this is about your Return on Education.
We encourage you to do your research and demand details around your rate, estimated APR and payment costs on the front end of your lending experience.

Water damage to a vehicle may occur as a result of flooding, intense storms, or from continuous exposure to water, salt, humidity, or corrosive chemicals. While there is no foolproof technique to avoid the financially devastating purchase of an environmentally damaged vehicle, steps can be taken to ensure the vehicle you purchase lives up to your expectations.
A vehicle's likelihood for rusting is directly related to its geographical location. Salt can be problematic for vehicles no matter where you live, but if you live near the ocean, your vehicle will be more susceptible to rust due to the high salt content of the humid ocean air. In colder climates, many communities and road crews use salt on roads and highways to breakdown ice and snow. As the ice and snow melt, you're left with an electrolyte bath capable of turning your vehicle into a rust bucket. Areas such as the upper Midwest and parts of the Northeast have a reputation for rusting vehicles, largely due to both the humidity and heavy use of road salt in such areas.
If you live in an area that isn't known for road salt use and humidity, don't make the mistake of thinking you are safe from rust. After all, vehicles can easily be transported and sold throughout the entire country, so a rusted vehicle can appear just about anywhere, including at your local used car dealerships.
Many parts of a vehicle, including the vehicle's frame, chassis, exhaust system, brake system, and suspension, are exposed to the elements and susceptible to rust. Rust can even bubble up from inside the body sheet metal panels and attack the painted surfaces of your vehicle. Getting rid of rust is challenging. It is easier to prevent rust than it is to eradicate it.
Rust tends to affect the bottom of a vehicle first. Unfortunately, this presents a huge problem since the underside of a vehicle is not easily seen. For this reason, it is critical to place a vehicle on a hoist prior to purchasing. Once the vehicle is on a lift, the entire undercarriage can be carefully inspected for excessive rust.
Painting over or applying an undercoating spray are common forms of deception used to cover up the presence of rust. This is usually done quickly and only on obvious components that can be easily viewed. Often the true condition of the vehicle can still be discovered when raised on a hoist and inspected with a quality flashlight and a sharp eye.
Flood damage is often difficult to detect because it does not happen gradually. Many visible signs of a flooded vehicle can be cleaned, repaired, concealed, or masked in order to sell a vehicle. A little investigative work may be required to determine if a vehicle has been in a flood, but the effort is worth it since modern vehicles are basically rolling computer systems filled with electronics from the engine to the seats and everything in between. It's no secret: Electronics are not compatible with water.
The easiest flood damage test is to open the door of the vehicle and take a good sniff. Mildew and mold have a distinct smell, and even a trace amount of either one should be apparent if the vehicle has been sealed. You should also beware of vehicles that smell too good, since a spray-on fabric freshener or air freshener can mask odors.
Once you have smelled the interior, look under the seats with a quality flashlight. Inspect metal seat frames, seat tracks, and mounting brackets and bolts for any evidence of corrosion. Inspect under the dash for any corrosion or debris, including any unusual deposits of mud, sand, or grit. Inspect the assembly line diagnostic link (ALDL) connection for any evidence of corrosion. Look for signs of moisture, rust, water marks, stains, or water rings on all trim, carpeting, seats, seat belts, pillars, and ceiling. While there may be the rare exception, there shouldn't be any rust on the inside of a late-model vehicle. The presence of rust anywhere inside such a vehicle is an indication the vehicle may have been significantly flooded at some point.
While the vehicle's interior is the best place to start when searching for flood damage, tell-tale signs of water damage may reside under the hood as well. Look for debris that may have washed in and become deposited in the engine bay's nooks and crannies. Unexplained leaves, silt, mud, and sand found inside the spark plug wire cavities is concerning and likely the result of flood waters. Be suspicious of dirt buildup in unusual areas. Evidence of a water line on the firewall and inner fenders is also a sign of flood damage.
It is not uncommon for mud and debris to collect in hard to reach and hard to clean places, such as under the hood and in the trunk. However, rust on the heads of any exposed screws or bolts under the hood, around the doors, or in the trunk, indicates exposure to excessive moisture. Mud and debris on the underside of panels and brackets is another good sign the vehicle may have suffered water damage, especially if the vehicle has not been used for off roading.
While under the hood, be sure to check the engine oil. If the vehicle is equipped with a transmission dip stick, check that as well. When oil mixes with even a small amount of water it becomes milky. The presence of water in the oil or transmission fluid is a bad sign.
When checking for flood damage, take a few minutes to inspect the paper air filter. Most of the time, the engine air filter can easily be exposed by removing a few retainer clips or screws. Once paper has been wet it never looks the same. If the filter shows signs of any warping or water stains, you may want to keep looking for another vehicle.
After you've inspected the interior and under the hood, take a walk around the vehicle. Look for signs of moisture in the light fixtures. While it may just be a leaking seal, fogged-up lights and water intrusion in lenses indicate the vehicle may have been submerged under water. Get close and inspect for tiny holes in the lenses that may have been drilled to drain flood water.
When test driving a vehicle, be sure to test the vehicle's electrical systems for water damage. When you start the vehicle, there should be no smoke or odd smells. Listen for irregular noises, such as warning buzzers that sound strained or just a bit off. Check every accessory to ensure everything is working properly including turn signals, windshield wipers/washers, lights, power windows, power door locks, the horn, seat heaters, heater and air conditioner, blower fan, cruise control, and navigation dash board. If it can be switched on or off, you should switch it on and off. Turn on the vehicle's entertainment system and listen to the audio. If the audio is distorted or the system doesn't work, this again may be a sign the vehicle was once submerged in water.
If there is a strong likelihood a vehicle has experienced flood damage, consider removing a door panel, lifting the carpet, or checking hidden electrical or mechanical components and connections that may be hiding evidence of refurbishment.
Your vehicle should be inspected by a trusted ASE certified technician regardless of your confidence in your purchase. The inspection should be thorough, and should include raising the vehicle on a hoist. The cost of an inspection will pale in comparison to the financial cost of unknowingly purchasing a vehicle that has suffered flood or rust damage.

- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

Bared To You by Sylvia Day
Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness…
He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily…
Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private wounds…and desires. The bonds of his love transformed me, even as i prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...
The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson
After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Deveaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get back to her friends. But Rory's brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she's become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades--the city's secret ghost-fighting police--are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it's too late.
As Wrath's fiercest son, Logan carries the scars of fifty years spent in the most dreaded prison of the underworld, for a sin he'd kill to keep secret. Enduring decades of gruesome torture has left Logan feared by and detached from others, until a female Alexi's blood resurrects his soul from death and, with it, the pleasures he's been denied for so long.
Plagued by shame of her own, Calla is drawn to the ruthless demon, Logan, whose insatiable craving for her touch rouses buried passions and, for once, leaves her feeling desired.
A dark and dangerous evil has been reawakened, however, and when Calla is drawn too close to its breeding grounds, Logan vows to summon the violence of Wrath in order to keep her safe. First, though, Calla must save him from a past riddled with deceit and corruption … but only if she can accept the chilling consequences of unearthing his vilest skeleton.

Three-day weekend. Party at White Rock House on Henry Island.
You do NOT want to miss it.
It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for being there (which involve T.J., the school's most eligible bachelor) and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled luxury.
But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine.
Suddenly people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off from the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry that isn't scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine?

Assembly to run continues.
Holy crap there's a lot of stuff in here.
Realized that the wires for the AiM system needed to come through the firewall safely so I knocked out a little billet piece for safe passage:
I also got the 1/2" (12mm) heater core feeder line installed in the coolant transfer tube assembly:
One thing that I'd not addressed yet was the high mount brake light. Have been tossing around ideas of where to mount it. Originally I thought under the rear lip of the roof but that puts it in the middle of the top of the rear glass and there's no really good way to mount it to the cross bar.
I always thought it would look good in the stock place like you see on full sized trucks - upper edge of the back of the roof. Wasn't sure I had clearance between the roof and cage, though. Did some measuring and sure enough I had room so I got brave, pulled out the cutting and filing tools and a Sharpie.
Game on - had one chance to get it correct.
I got it correct! WHEW. 3.5 hours from start to finish.
Started out by sinking it horizontally into the back of the roof and then opening up the hole in the top part of the roof until the light sunk in flush to the bottom of the roof.
Once I got the light in place I made a quick mount to secure it in its home and the thing darned near clips into position.
Yes, that is a Hewlett-Packard 41CV calculator, closing in on 40 years old and uses Reverse Polish Notation. 1, enter, 2, + Few will understand.

What you see here is a true Unicorn.
Once I got the 12v DC compressor in hand (end of October, 2019) I realized I needed a controller for it - or at least it would be easier to get one than having to engineer one (and my electronics skills would/will be tested by this regardless). So I got online and started searching the company, Rencool, that makes the compressor. Sure enough, there's a controller.
Being that TALON is down in Australia I ask him to do a little inquiry on the controller. A few messages later and its "No, they don't have it in 12V anymore. You're SOL."
I get in touch with StreetFX, where I got the compressor and asked them about the controller. "Sure, we can get that. You'll need to contact us directly and we'll work from there."
I get in touch with them as asked (e-mail), send them links and pictures from Rencool and they say no issues on getting the controller. It'll take a couple weeks.
Hmmm... that seems too easy. TALON said no go... Oh well, I'll wait. Couple weeks go by and they say "We have it."
"Can I get a picture of what you're sending me?"
I get a picture of the actual control circuit in the top of the compressor. NOPE!!!!
Quick e-mail back and they were very apologetic and said they'd see what they could do about getting me the controller I was after.
Go for it! (I've not informed them that I'm aware of the lack of stock at Rencool).
I get an email last week:
I have spoken with Rencool in regards to your order, they are still awaiting some components to be able to complete the unit for dispatch to you, they aren't able to give me an estimate yet as they are still awaiting their supplier to provide this information. There are a few orders held up at the moment due to this.
However they did note that due to the length you have already waited they would let their display model (at a reduced rate) be sold to you. If you wish to save a few $$$ and get one soon I could get this arranged for you.
I"m not sure on the total savings but I believe it will be at the very min of $100.00 of the total price.
I'm good with this!
I get a tracking number four days ago and THE ONE AND ONLY 12v controller shows up three days ago.
Now I have to figure out the HVAC system as this whole mess goes back together into one working machine.
Off to the shop! There's work to be done.
Nice work, keep em coming (pictures/updates)!Marine Veteran Sgt USMC 8151/8541 1992-2000

When TALON and his buddy Smith came here a few years ago I had a bit of a time following conversation between them (especially with a bit of alcohol added to us all).
Then, a couple of years later, Talon and I spent a couple weeks driving/riding across the USA and I got really good at Aussie (especially with a bit of alcohol added to us).
I still want to see any of you mates from down under go get a bag of ice from a US convenience store. They won't sell it to Aussies, as they think you're asking for a bag of ass. (and I laughed until I cried)
I've also discovered that you all know 'Ol' Mate'. He's a common character, apparently. Even Ozzy Man knows Ol' Mate.
My wife had to have "having a root" explained too. (another laugh until I cried moment)
Got the clutch belt guard done yesterday. Have about 6 hrs into it.
First backing plate attempt wasn't quite right. The whole thing mounts only to the transmission as both trans and engine are rubber mounted so there's flex between the two pieces. That meant that I couldn't attach the cover to both - one end had to float. The transmission already had four bosses that just needed threading and I had my cover mount. First attempt ended up being clocked incorrectly by 4.8 degrees. Crap - more in the scrap bin.
Second backing plate went as planned and fits perfectly:
It has good clearance all around so getting to the belt (installing/removing) is easy enough:
Welding's getting better all the time. Seat time and help with settings has made a HUGE difference:
The issue, after getting it assembled and test fit, is that the backing plate for the cover is thin enough that it allows for some flex and that let it hit (probably vibrate) against the engine so I needed to stiffen the area. Fortunately (for once) I had a spare, screwed up, discarded plate that had the correct bolt pattern in it. A bit of time with a jig saw and some more welding and I had a dual plated area around the mounting screws. By only welding the outer perimeter and then using bolts in the center it makes the backing plate nice and stiff. No more wiggle.
Still needs a little bit of attention to detail work done but other than that, it's done and I'm actually really pleased with this piece.
I've chosen to run the clutches open to the world instead of sealing them off like all the UTVs do. I've run thousands of miles in the two Deztazes, my old Honda Pilot and the Briggs cars and never had any issues with them being exposed to the elements other than when I had to deal with water and being that I live in the desert, water's not an issue (and I avoid the stuff like the Coronavirus when possible).
Leaving the cover open lets everything breath, get cooler air all the time instead of trapping it inside a cover and I don't have to deal with a sealed box that has to have an air intake and exhaust (plumbing). Simple is better. The only thing I see on a covered CVT system is time wasted trying to get the stupid thing off when you have belt issues.

Yes Mate, when we get together and start firing most foreigners just look with saucepan eyes and say what did you just say. I had friends from Montreal come over for a tour of Melbourne and we took them all over the place. We had to talk real slow.
They said " we got it now, you just shorten every word and add Y or O tothe end of it. LOL.
Looking sweet as usual K not enough movement between the two to rub on that little cut out..Ride it like you Stole IT!!!

Nearly 2 billion users in more than 91 countries visit YouTube every month, where they enter search terms and look for the answers to their questions in video format. The first thing they see once they click on your video thumbnail is your YouTube intro. Using a Youtube intro template allows you to make compelling and consistent YouTube videos that capture and hold your audience's attention. Learn how to use a YouTube intro maker that combines graphics, logos, text, and audio ato help you grow your YouTube channel.
YouTube Checklist
Alongside YouTube channel art and YouTube outros, a video intro is a key component of building your YouTube channel experience. Before we dive into how to make a YouTube intro, here are three key elements that you'll find in all the best YouTube video intros:
- They're quick: Above all, your intro shouldn't last more than a few seconds. YouTube swarms the viewer with other suggestions in the sidebar, and you need to make sure that they don't click away while your introduction lingers.
- They're on-brand: Your YouTube intro is your chance to introduce your brand, and includes assets that fit your channel's content. For example, we wouldn't recommend explosions and techno music for your personal finance brand channel. Make sure that the intro fits with the type of content your viewer is expecting to view.
- They're consistent: Use the same YouTube channel intro every time to create consistency and set a tone with your viewership.
A good example of this can be seen in our infographics round-up below, where we show the Envato logo and quickly jump to the content at hand:
In this how-to, we'll cover two approaches that teach you how to make an intro for your YouTube channel. No matter your level of video editing expertise, you can learn to build a YouTube intro of your own that has the power to grab a viewer's attention and hold itt
YouTube Intro Maker
Even though every YouTube channel could benefit from a channel intro, the challenge lies in building one. Let's face it: many video apps are tough to use, and you may not have the skills it takes to create a professional YouTube intro.
Enter, Placeit: a browser-based tool that takes all the hard work out of building your YouTube video intro. With Placeit, you don't have to master any additional apps to create a professional video intro that works for your channel. Start with a template, add your channel details, and download your finished intro.
Placeit has a number of great starting points for creating your YouTube intro. Here are some of our favorites that can easily be customized to suit your channel:
Remember that winning intros need to be quick and snappy so that your viewers don't lose interest and move on. This confetti-rific video is the perfect example of how simple your channel intro can be to grab your audience's attention.
This preset makes it easy to drop in your brand colors and logo and start your video off on the right tone.
YouTube Intro Templates
While Placeit is a wonderful intro maker tool, many YouTube channel owners already know how to use apps like Adobe After Effects and enjoy the creative freedom this allows.
The best of both worlds approach is to use a pre-built template for Adobe After Effects. Not only is this a cost-effective option, but it will also save hours of time that you can dedicate to building great content for your YouTube channel.
The best place to grab YouTube intro templates is on Envato Elements, an all-you-can-download service for creatives. An added bonus is that Elements includes stock footage, audio clips, and photos that you can easily add to your channel intros–all for a flat-rate monthly subscription. Even if you stop subscribing, you'll retain the rights to use the intro you created.
Envato Elements has over 7,000 video templates, including these three great YouTube openers:
The aptly-named YouTube Opener asset is one of the best ways to combine imagery, text, and your logo to create an eye-catching intro. Again, the focus here is on creating a quick and punchy intro that only introduces your content and doesn't detract from it.
Inside this package, you'll find a number of assets that are perfect for spicing up your YouTube channel, including ready-to-use intro graphics. Just add your text and logos to make it your own.
This package combines a quick intro with a promotional aspect. It leaves you room to ask for subscribers and channel likes, right in the body of the intro, then quickly pivots to the content at hand.
Whether you use a browser-based tool like Placeit or an After Effects template, a YouTube video intro is a must-have. Keep it short, keep it on-brand, and keep it consistent.

The Best Boat Deck Chair
There are not many more relaxing things in the world than being on a deck chair while you're on a boat. Whether you're fishing or simply having a gathering your friends, it's a great way to pass the time.
A deck chair on a boat though has many more requirements than a usual chair due to the harsh environment that it finds itself in. It has to be sturdy and resistant to the harsh marine environment so finding the best boat deck chair isn't easy.
Here at Globo Surf we have developed a complete buying guide and have gone through the boat deck chair reviews to find the best marine deck chair for you. After reading this guide you'll know all the facts and be confident in buying the best deck chair for you.

How To Choose The Best Boat Deck Chair – Buying Guide
As with anything on a boat it's likely to go through a lot of punishment due to the environment that they find themselves in. There is the general wear and tear as well as being exposed to the elements and seawater. For these reasons the materials have to be hard wearing and resistant to corrosion as well as UV rays.
One material that can often rust is steel and this is part of what can separate normal chairs from marine grade ones. The steel on boat deck chairs will be resistant to rust so make sure that this is the case before you buy your chair. Steel can also be quite heavy which is another consideration but if these chairs are staying on your boat then this isn't much of an issue.
Whatever material your deck chair is made out of it's important to make sure that you keep them well maintained. You wouldn't want moisture staying on the fabric and you wouldn't want saltwater staying on the metal. Wiping your chairs down with a damp cloth and storing them away when they are not in use is the least you can do to ensure that your chairs last for as long as possible.
The design is obviously one of the key elements when it comes to deck chairs as you want to make sure that you're getting the right kind of chair for your situation. One of the biggest design considerations is whether or not to get a standard chair or one that is foldable, the advantages of both are clear. Standard chairs are generally sturdier and can be more comfortable but they do however have to stay out. Folding chairs on the other hand can lack the same type of solid build but give you the option to store them away so you're only ever using the number of chairs that you need to.
All deck chairs we have reviewed here will offer you a level of comfort but some chairs do it in different ways. Some offer well-designed wooden seats which offer plenty of support to your back while other chairs are made out of fabric which will be able to softly support your bodyweight. Perhaps the greatest in comfort though is with the padded chairs that can offer you support on the seat, armrest and back but these chairs are generally bulkier and harder to maintain.
Weight is as important an issue as you want it to be as this depends on how you are going to use your chairs and how often. If you are getting standard chairs which are going to be left out then weight isn't really an issue as you're only going to be moving them once, but if you're stowing away your chairs after every use then make sure this isn't going to be an issue by checking the product's weight and seeing if this is too heavy or not.
When deciding what boat deck chair to buy it's also important to consider use. Whether you're using it for social gatherings or using it to go fishing it's important to look at its features to determine whether it is what you need for the activities that you want to do. This is where you also consider whether you need foldable or non-foldable ones and if you need such features as a drinks tray as well.
How quickly an item is going to dry is an important consideration when you're on a boat as the waves and the rain are just two factors that are going to make them wet. Wooden chairs will obviously dry the quickest followed by fabric chairs but you want to ensure that padded chairs are resistant to the wet and won't harbor mildew when they do.
Stain Resistance
It's important that chairs resist stains as accidents will happen over time. Thankfully all the best boat deck chairs do a great job of resisting these stains to make sure that the product looks great time and time again. It's still important to make sure that you maintain the chair and ensure that any stains aren't left to dry.
Q: Why Do I Need A Deck Chair?
While many boats have seating solutions many are either not comfortable, not in the right place or there simply aren't enough of them. A deck chair will give you a place to sit that is very comfortable and allows you it sit wherever you want. A boat deck chair separates itself from a normal chair by being resistant to the marine environment and having features such as non-slip legs.
Q: How Stable Is A Boat Chair?
A boat chair is very stable as they are well made and many have solutions such as double-tubed legs to ensure that they remain steady. These chairs that we have reviewed here are all well-made and don't have the flimsy qualities that you sometimes find with cheaper foldable chairs. These are all made out of high-quality materials which will be able to last for a long time and give your chair the strength it needs to support your weight time and time again.
Q: Should I Get A Foldable Or Non Foldable Once?
This depends on the space you have on your boat both on the deck and your storage options too. If you have limited space on deck then having chairs out permanently might get in the way when they are not in use. If you have foldable chairs then you will be able to put them away if you have enough storage and bring them out when they are required. While non-foldable chairs are usually more stable, the foldable products reviewed here are very well-made and the difference between them and a standard chair is very small.
Globo Surf Overview
Being able to relax on a boat is one of the great joys of life and whether you are listening to your favorite music or putting a few burgers on the grill you want to be able to sit down in a comfy chair and enjoy the experience. Thankfully there are plenty of boat deck lounge chairs out there which are well-made and will give you a high level of comfort.
Whether you are looking for aluminum folding deck chairs or wooden boat chairs this buying guide offers up all the solutions you need in order to pick the best chair for you. There are key considerations to be made such as if you should get foldable boat chairs are not. Foldable is not often seen as the best choice as the modern day chairs are very sturdy and will hold their structure while still being able to be stowed away.
You also want to get the right comfort level for you and might want to opt for a chair that is padded to give you the nicest feel but these chairs can be bulkier and harder to maintain. They can also be heavier too which is another aspect to think about as you need to know if you'll be carrying the chairs from one place to another. Beyond that you can use your own personal preference and choose a chair which you like the look of best, as after all the important features, style is still important.
While there are many safety features you have to think about while you're on a boat such as if you have the right life jackets or if you have installed the right bilge pump, you also want to think about the more enjoyable aspects such as sitting down and casting out a fishing line or having a beer. Picking the right boat chair is important to ensure your comfort levels aren't compromised.
Hopefully this buying guide has given you all the tools you need to look at the best deck chairs on the market and be confident that you're making the right choice for you taking into account the material, design and comfort. Once you have, you can relax in your new chair knowing that you've made the right choice.

The reader behind the blog:
Hey everyone!
My name is Becky! I'm a 24-year-old bookworm, currently living in snowy Minnesota. My favorite types of books are YA fantasy and mystery/thrillers.
When I'm not reading, you can find me with a drink in my hand, going on Netflix binges, practicing magic tricks, or obsessing over my new puppies.
Feel free to find me on my other social media as well! I love to make new bookish friends.
The blog:
Welcome to my corner of the internet where I can gush about books. I've been an avid reader pretty much my entire life and I love that I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I'm able to get back into reading.
On this blog, you will be able to see my thoughts on books, some may be books I picked up on a whim, other may be books I was sent by publishers or authors in exchange for an honest review (I'll make it clear which reviews are which). I will also feature unboxing posts of any bookish (or fandom) subscription box service that I use. I love subscription boxes, I think they are a great way to get fandom merch or new books. Also, I feel like they're a little gift to myself every month. I will also be including TBRs, hauls, wrap-ups, book recommendations, anticipated releases lists, favorites lists, and book tags. I hope to include interviews and author spotlights as this platform grows.
Welcome to my blog!

Restrict shipping methods using the various product, cart, and customer attributes. Make your shipping process both legal and cost-effective.
Other Extensions by Amasty
OverviewBack to top
Usually, carriers offer several shipping methods to customers, such as land, air, sea shipments and more. But not all of the methods are profitable for a particular store. This module lets you restrict unnecessary shipping methods instead of blocking all of them. You can set extremely flexible shipping conditions according to your business purposes. For example, you can restrict ground mail methods for short-life products as it usually takes about a week to deliver them. You can also set or cancel restrictions right from the grid.
Shipping Restrictions for Magento 2 extension has a great number of tools to adjust your delivery process: shipping areas management, restrictions for particular shipping types, postcodes, customer groups, product attributes, days, order subtotal, etc. Webstore owner can easily allow or restrict shipping with coupons and discounts to make delivery even more beneficial.
- Restrict shipping methods according to your business needs;
- Configure restrictions based on shipping, product, order, and cart attributes;
- Create restrictions for customer groups and store views;
- Manage to ship with coupons;
- Set restrictions for particular days.
Make Shipping Legal & Cost-Effective
Sometimes you need to restrict certain shipping methods for legal reasons. In this case, the module will become a perfect solution. Create shipping rules using various limitation criteria based on customers, cart and product attributes. For example, some items are not allowed to ship internationally due to exporting country, importing country or transportation regulations. Thanks to the module you can apply restrictions only for the products that cannot be shipped.
Restrict Certain Deliveries
You risk losing money when shipping very small or very heavy orders, so it makes sense to block non-standard deliveries for distant regions for such products as well as deliveries for the distant regions like Alaska or Hawaii.
Set Shipping Restrictions
Shipping methods restrictions can be created based on any product attribute. For example, you can exclude ground mail from delivery methods in case the order contains a premium brand product.
Apply Discounts & Taxes to Subtotal
As an example, you have set up your shop to automatically give free shipping when someone's subtotal is over $149. But, if a customer uses a coupon which drops the order value below $149, free shipping wouldn't be applied due to the discounted subtotal.
Restrictions For Back-Ordered Items
From time to time, items are temporarily out of stock. In this case, it makes sense to remove next day delivery shipping method for such items.
Set Restrictions For Particular Days
This option can be very useful if you don't deliver goods on weekends or on holidays.
Use Customer Attributes As Rule Base
Create shipping restrictions using customer attributes such as date of birth, customer group, gender, etc. You can create specific conditions for separate customers using this option.
Enable Shipping Methods For Customer Groups
The module enables you to restrict shipping methods for particular customer groups. For example, give access to free shipping only to wholesale users.
Disable Shipping Methods For Certain Store Views
The module enables you to choose shipping methods for a particular store view. This function is very useful if you're working worldwide and have several online shops.
Restrict Shipping By Postcode
Set a postcode as a restriction rule base. For example, you can apply the restriction to all zip codes that starts from '123' or ends with 'XYZ'.
Restrict Or Allow Shipping With Coupons
You can apply restrictions when a customer uses a coupon. For example, you can provide your customers with free shipping and launched an advertising campaign with discount coupons. In this case, it is possible to:
- remove free shipping if the customer uses a coupon;
- offer free shipping as a bonus to the coupon discount.
Create Regions With Certain Shipping Settings
Create custom regions and apply shipping rules for the whole region. This feature saves you time and makes store management a lot more efficient.

Price £11,000
IDEAL FOR USE ON: Rally of the Tests, Le Jog, Scottish Malts, Classic Marathon, Monte Carlo Historique
Rally Preparation Services is pleased to offer this Sunbeam Alpine Classic rally car. A delightful alternative to the more ubiquitous MGB, the Alpine has always been a stalwart of the UK and European Classic rally world.
The Sunbeam name can be traced back to the dawn of the motor car and even slightly before. Bicycles, aero engines, land-speed records and racing all feature in the heritage of Sunbeam and as with so many automotive pioneers so does the grim juggulation of insolvency. Scooped up by the Rootes Group in 1934, the Sunbeam brand was initially linked with Talbot before broadly becoming the sporting brand of the Rootes Group. Success in rallies followed with an outright win for a Sunbeam on the 1955 Monte Carlo and after 3 consecutive penalty free runs for Stirling Moss on the Alpine rally a "Coupe d'Or". No surprise the new car was called the Alpine. Often overshadowed by it's big brother, the Tiger, the Alpine is 100kg lighter and very much at home on twisty roads.
This Alpine has competed on various events over the last 20 years including the 2014 Winter Trial to Monte Carlo and notably achieving success in the 2000 Le Jog in the hands of Robin Eyre Maunsell with the Telegraph reporting "set fastest time of all on several tests, despite opposition ranging from incredibly nippy MG Midgets and Mini Coopers to astonishingly fast Porsche 911s. His Alpine, a model often slated as unsporting, comprehensively defeated all the rally-prepared MGBs in its class". Purchased by the current owner with a view to go Classic rallying a bad back has curtailed plans so this old war-horse has been dry stored for the last 4 years. Realistically a bit of a project, this charming Alpine is itching to go rallying again. We have just overhauled the carburettors and can confirm the engine seems healthy. With a bit of work this Alpine offers an ideal entry to the sport without too great a commitment.
The car is currently residing at RPS' sister company – the SASCo storage facility and available for inspection.

Staff Report
Islamabad – It looks like overseas Pakistanis for the first time will be able to take part in the forthcoming elections this year as the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has confirmed the readiness of the software in this regard by April this year.
Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on Monday appreciated efforts made by the NADRA and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) towards the development of a voting system that can empower overseas Pakistanis with the ability to vote in general elections.
Presided over by the chief justice, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court was hearing a case combining 16 petitions on the matter that it had accepted on January 5.
The petitions, filed by civilians, had appealed that the state set up appropriate infrastructure so that overseas Pakistanis — estimated to number at least eight million — can cast their vote in Pakistan's elections.
During Monday's hearing, NADRA Chairman Usman Mobin told the court that "the matter has been brought under discussion with the ECP."
"Work is underway on the software's development," he said. "It can be tested on an experimental basis in mock elections and will be ready by the start of April."
At this, the chief justice said: "This is a very good news given by NADRA's chairman. He has given a very reasonable 10-week deadline."
"NADRA and the ECP should sit together and give overseas Pakistanis the gift of voting ability," he added, while instructing NADRA to furnish in court a progress report during the case's next hearing in a month's time.

This week I tackled another one of my struggles besides waiting, that is relationships. The first little fable, which I call the lovers, is about the kind of relationships that doesn't last or the kind where two people are together, sometimes for a long time, but living separate lives side by side. Then more rare is the opposite story, the partners, where the two people form a real unit and even after years together still manage to surprise and learn from each other.
Growing up I had the example of my parents having the second type of relationship. It's what felt normal to aspire to. My parents were very lucky, because one, it's rare to meet someone you feel that sort of connection with, and two, even if you do meet that person or think you do, it doesn't always work out.
At the time I made the first drawing I had just installed a hummingbird feeder by my front door and there were two of them that kept coming and chasing each other with a friendly buzz. I immediately felt an affinity with the little birds so when looking for what would be "my" animal symbol I naturally turned to the hummingbird. And along with it, the tree, houses, and water from the fountain. The funny thing about hummingbirds is that despite their common association with marriage and happy relationships, the real birds are pretty independent and change partners every season.
Originally the drawing for my portrait was meant to illustrate this sort of new gift I discovered, that is having an intuitive sense about people by feeling the harmony between us through the collective unconscious.
Later on I discovered Carl Jung's concept of the shadow and started to experiment adding an opposite to all my drawings. I revisited this one last year, taking a new look at the symbolism and what the opposite drawing could be. I won't get into the details, but it involves Jung's theory of the male and female in all of us and how it affects our relationships.
Essentially to become whole we need to unite the male and female parts of our psyche. Picture the round tree as the male part and the house as the female part. The fish is a symbol of this unification and water is the unconscious through which we are all connected. I imagined a pair of doves living in the garden Joseph Campbell talks about in The Power of Myth, protected by two guardians we need to get passed to be able to enter, that is desire and fear.

De Kock, V.A & Taylor, M., 2011, 'Quantum advances in the cold storage maintenance of the plum fruit quality using SmartFresh TM combined with other handling and packaging changes', SA Fruit Journal 9(6), 45-48.
According to Dodd et al. (2010) plum volumes increased from 1.05 m cartons in 1983, to 8.9 m cartons in 2007. With the ever-increasing volumes, the challenge has been to store plums for longer periods, while still achieving optimum quality fruit. Research on plums in South Africa therefore focused on quality maintenance and extension of cold storage and is the basis of the current handling and cold storage protocols.

The Makeup Revolution The Emily Edit The Wants Eyeshadow Palette featured in this post was purchased by me. All opinions are 100% my own.
It's green, smokey, exciting. And yes, I'm talking about this eyeshadow look I created with the new Makeup Revolution The Emily Edit The Wants Eyeshadow Palette.
So, I dug into the palette that I just reviewed with a bit of excitement and anticipation. It's always fun to spend time exploring new products. I have to say, however, that I was a bit … frustrated at the end. I'm not sure if its the texture of the matte shadows in this palette, my eyelid skin or a combination of both that makes them at odds with each other.
There was a lot of elbow grease involved in making this look work out and to have a properly blended eye look. And, to be honest, the shimmers involve a lot of TLC as well. I found that applying them to my lids with the pads of my fingers worked best to make them show up.
In the end all the elbow grease worked out and both looks turned out nicely, so lets get to the breakdown!
For look 1, I used the following combination on my eyes. The gloss I'm wearing is Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow, FYI.
I started off by applying Hobby in my crease. Next I applied Side Hustle on my inner lid.
Then Corduroy on my outer lid. I placed the color with a flat brush and blended it out with a blending brush. I also placed this color on my lower lid.
Eve Rose goes smack dab in the middle. And the look is finished The Cream in the browbone and with Dark & Early applied as the liner.
For look 2, I kept things burgundy and smokey.
Capricorn is on my outer lid, Grateful is on my inner lid, Pi Phi is on my lower lid and Oh Heavens! is on my brow bone with Corduroy as the liner.
Have you added this palette to your collection? I don't think it's a need, to be honest. I wish the shadows were easier to work with! If I ever had the chance to have a collaboration with a budget friendly brand, I'd go for Wet n Wild – wouldn't that be fun?!
