For a product reviews to be effective, it should cover the salient aspects of the purchase. This helps buyers to better know their options. We created a structured approach using 5 categories. Each category can earn 0 to 20 points. The categories we rate are as follows: Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. We then add up the total to give an overall rating. In this massage chair review we analyze the M-2 Orion Massage Chair from Omega Massage. This entry level lounger is in the price range of $1,500 and under.

Warranty & Customer Service: This category is about the consumer being protected and taking less risk in the transaction. The product is covered by the warranty and customer service is how well the company supports its customers. Omega Massage, manufacturer of the M-2, covers it with the following: 1 year on the frame, 6 months on parts, and 6 months labor and 6 months shipping. This is strong warranty coverage at this price range. What about the customer service side? Our experience has been very positive with Omega. They diagnose quickly, and turn things around in minimal times. We rate the Omega M-2 Orion an 18 in Warranty & Customer.

Comfort & Ergonomics: A massage chair needs to be designed to fit the body and provide comfort. The chair is a place of relaxation. One does not want to be pre-occupied with non-intuitive functions. Let us take a look at the Orion. The Orion has a remote control holder under the armrest which is very convenient. You can recline the chair from 115 degrees to 170 degrees.

Ease of Use: With so much technology being built into massage chairs today, ease of use is a critical concern. If a device is overly complicated, those features just will not get used. This is just a design challenge. The M-2 is well designed and the remote control is simple and easy to use. The remote allows you to choose either automatic or manual massages. Select a manual massage and focus it on a particular part of the back. The manual adjustment levers for the backrest and leg rest are easy to find and use. There is a convenient remote holder underneath the armrest to store the remote when not needed. We give the Omega Orion a 19 for ease of use.

Key Features: The key features of the Orion M-2 massage chair are the swaying massage technique and the seat massage. The Hawaiian or Swaying massage uses gentle flowing strokes to ease and elongate the back muscles. The Swaying massage starts to penetrate deeper into the muscles as it works up and down the spine. This is an effective massage to relax tight muscles. The seat massage has both vibration therapy and an eight massage head system. These rotary massage heads target the buttocks and thighs with a very invigorating massage. Add the vibration therapy and watch the aches and pains melt away from your buttocks and thighs. We give the M-2 Orion an 18 for key features.

Massage Therapy: The massage therapy is what a massage chair is all about. How does the M-2 Orion rate? Let us find out. There are both automatic and manual massages to choose from. Select from 3 timed automatic massages of 5, 10 or 15 minutes in duration. There are 3 back course and 3 manual massages for your back.

Adjust them to exactly where you need relief. We rate the M-2 an 18 for its massage therapy.

Overall, we are very impressed with the Omega M-2 Orion. Let us sum up all the categories. The M-2 scores an impressive 90/100. Some unique features are the Sway Massage and the full seat therapy.

Diversification is critical for long term portfolio health. We’ve all heard about the benefits of not putting all your eggs in one basket, but conventional wisdom needs to be updated every now and then.

The modern investor has a wealth of new tools to achieve real diversification. Small investors are encouraged to spread their portfolios across a range of stocks and bonds. Small caps, mid caps, large caps, value, growth, short and long-term Treasuries, and municipal bonds have been the staple of a diversified portfolio. Well, times have changed and so too should your notions of eggs and baskets.

With the emergence of exchange-traded funds (ETF’s) there has sprung forth tremendous new tools for diversifying individual portfolios. Stocks and bonds can now be supplemented by precious metals, natural gas, oil, agricultural commodities, real estate, sub sectors of the economy (retail, financials, energy, etc.), targeted global markets, and currencies.

A great way for American investors to hedge inflation and the decline of the dollar is to purchase currency ETF’s. These instruments enable investors to gain exposure to specific foreign currencies, which are often uncorrelated to US stocks and bonds.

Overall portfolio risk can be measured in the variance of returns, which is a function of the individual assets held. To decrease total system variance it is best to include assets that are negatively correlated to each other.

Someone holding predominantly US stocks in their portfolio should consider adding currencies that are negatively correlated. It turns out that Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, and Swedish Krona move in opposite directions as US stocks, while Australian dollar, Mexican Peso, and Canadian dollar move in the same direction.

Holding Swiss Franc, Euro, Yen, or Krona would have yielded roughly between 12% and 17% in capital appreciation over the last year. Not only that, but each ETF has a dividend yield, representative of interest rates within each country.

An income investor should consider holding Mexican Peso, Australian Dollar, and British Pound, while avoiding Yen and Swiss Franc. There are many factors to take into consideration, but applying basic portfolio theory to your own holdings can have signficant long term results.

Currency ETF’s offer a great alternative to traditional methods of diversification and are great to offset further declines in our own currency. Consider that commodities price growth is largely attributable to US dollar depreciation and you can see how foreign currencies can insulate individuals from energy, food, and other commodity-driven inflation.

In recent years with the new bankruptcy law now in place, it has become far harder to apply for bankruptcy and also the prices of bankruptcy attorneys have gone up, since there is now more work for them to do.

So what are the main changes that have been made to the new bankruptcy law?

A so-called “means test” has been created in order to better assess whether or not a person is right for bankruptcy.

Basically what will take place during the means test is that your monthly income, minus a few expenses, will be calculated and compared with the average American income, if you are above it you will be directly obligated to file for chapter 13.

The IRS sets up strict guidelines for what they call ?allowable expenses.? Herein you will be allowed $200 per month for food and $800 per month for housing expenses.

Obviously in each state of the United States of America the laws do tend to change a little, depending on the state you reside in, this may help you or it may hinder you.

You will be forced by the IRS to pay out around about 75 $ on a credit counseling course that you will have to attend within 180 days from the date you first file for bankruptcy.

Under the all new bankruptcy law there is now more paperwork that you will have to do so that you can prove that bankruptcy is necessary.

Here’s a few things you will need to provide the IRS: a list of all your expenses for each month and your monthly income sources, a list of all secured as well as unsecured creditors, assets and liabilities, the most recent tax return you have and of course your photo ID.

Because of a lot of the changes in the new law, your bankruptcy attorney is going to have a lot more work on his hands and so you will have to pay him a lot more.

Interpreting the bankruptcy law

By law you are not obligated to use the services of a bankruptcy lawyer, however it is certainly highly recommended that you do in less of course you have qualifications in this area.

The one thing that you must remember is that bankruptcy, no matter the circumstances, is always your absolute last option. If you file for bankruptcy it will stay on your public record for up to 10 years, so if you can avoid it you will be most likely better off.
