Our reviews are systematic and a chair can earn up to 20 points in each category. The sum of the categories then determines its overall rating. Let us take a look at how the M5000 DLX rates.

Warranty Coverage & Customer Service: With any product that incorporates both electrical and mechanical features, you want to make sure that you get an adequate warranty.

The Omega M-5000 comes with the following warranty coverage: 5 years protection on the frame or structure of the chair; 3 years coverage on parts and labor; 1 year parts shipping; 90 days in home technician service. By industry standards, this is the best warranty coverage available on a massage chair in this class. On the service side, Omega has an excellent track record. We give the M5000 a 19.

Comfort & Ergonomics: The purpose of a massage chair is to ease your aches and pains to facilitate relaxation and wellness. To accomplish this, a massage chair needs to be comfortable. Another important element to comfort is ergonomics or how well the chair is designed to fit your body and where key controls are located. The DLX comes in oxide leather which is very comfortable to the touch as well as durable. There are adjustable head and shoulder pillows to support the head and neck. All chair controls are located on the remote control. Everything can be operated from the remote, including changing the music and volume levels. The M-5000 gets an 18 in this category.

Ease of Use: New technologies and features are being added into massage chairs at an incredible pace. It is important that manufacturers keep the design of their remotes and other controls simple and intuitive for users. The remote of the DLX has one touch automatic programs. It also has a cover on the remote which can be opened and manual controls are located inside. Controls are simple with only one to two presses to get any major massage function going. We rate the ease of use as an 18 for the DLX.

Key Features: Here are the two key features of the DLX. The lower body air massage system and the 3 automatic massage programs for the back. The lower body air massage utilizes airbags to massage the buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. The seat massage provides an invigorating massage of the buttocks. The foot wells of the leg rest contain reflexology nodules that gently press up into the feet to stimulate full body relaxation. We mention the 3 automatic massage programs because the actual program sequence of these massages are outstanding. The automatic massages include: neck and shoulders, full back and lower back. What is impressive is the use of many massage techniques beyond the standard kneading and tapping. There are a variety of techniques by use of fast and slow motions that are very comprehensive and very relieving. The DLX gets an 18 for key features

Massage Therapy: We will state right off the bat that the M5000 DLX is the strongest and most penetrating massage chair on the market today. The DLX comes with layers of padding to soften massage. This allows those more sensitive to also enjoy the chair, but also more importantly it allows those that need a deep penetrating massage to obtain it now and in the future. The automatic pre-programs are perhaps the best designed massage programs available with techniques not available in other chairs. The lower body is covered with the air massage system which can target together or individually the feet, calves, thighs and buttocks. We give the DLX an 18 for massage therapy.

If you need deep, penetrating relief, then this is the massage chair for you. Overall, we give it 91/100 points. It comes with an excellent warranty. It is well designed to be simple and easy to use.

Selecting Cultured Pearls

by Arsene Gibson

A diver glides through the water. He cuts an oyster off the base of a rock cropping. On the surface, he opens the shell and inside is a beautiful oyster. Although a great vision, this is not how most pearls come to be.

Pearls are known as refined jewelry. The process by which they are made, however, is rather more organic. Foreign material gets stuck within a mollusk and the animal reacts. To protect itself, it surrounds the material in nacre.

The outer layer of a pearl is the nacre. It is also known as calcium carbonate. The first layers on the foreign matter are soft, but they harden over time. Getting this process to start can be difficult, so cultivators take matters into their own hands.

Cultured pearls are those that are helped along by farmers. To make sure pearls are being formed, the farmers artificially implant foreign matter into the shells to spur production. They then provide optimal growth conditions as well.

The phrase cultured pearl refers to a pearl that is farmed. It is not an entirely accurate terminology, however. Why? Well, there are really four different types of cultured pearls.

One would not think 13 millimeters could ever be called huge, but it can when it comes to South Sea cultured pearls. This is their average size, the biggest of the cultured pearls. They are known for their near perfect round shapes.

Tahitian cultured pearls run a close second when it comes to size. They tend to be in the 10 to 12 millimeter range. They tend to be dark green in color with a high luster. They are fairly rare. This makes their price the highest on average among the cultured pearls.

Some people prefer the classics. With pearls, this means the white Akoya cultured pearls of China and Japan. In the 7 millimeter range, these pearls are beautiful, but common enough that they will not wipe out your bank account.

Freshwater cultured pearls have a bland name because they tend to be your run of the mill pearls. There is nothing particularly notable about them, but they are a good middle of the road choice if you are looking for a gift.

Unlike diamonds, the best choice amongst pearls tends to very much so be a matter of taste. In general, larger is considered better, but rareness is also a quality to look for. I prefer Tahitian cultured pearls, but there is no wrong answer with pearl types.

Skin Aging and Wrinkling and Way to Prevent it Happening

by Julie Samtsonn

Let's face it, getting older means your skin aging even wrinkling and sagging. When those first lines and wrinkles appear, it is time to start buying products on the market that tells us they can get rid of the fine lines and wrinkles. The science of aging is that the damage is done long before the lines and wrinkles appear and products used topically would only reduce the appearance, without actually making them go away. Unless done surgically.

Skin aging progresses and starts in the early years, with over-exposure to the sun, and climates of dry, cold winters, and hot summers and all the external elements that cause oxidants to attack the skin cells and accelerate the fat stores in cells, that hold the vitamins and hydration to keep them appearing plump. Once the fat stores are reduced, they start to shrivel and dry and do not reproduce new cell growth as quickly. The turnover of cells slows, to where the outer layer of skin is composed of older, more weathered cells. These older cells appear dull, lack a glow, and facial muscle contractions have started forming intense wrinkles in the form of smile lines, frown lines, brow lines, crow's feet and general sagging from the beginning breakdown of facial muscles, and many rush to the aid of anti-aging creams and anti wrinkle creams to help reduce the appearances.

The best preventions for aging skin are Limit Sun exposure, especially in the hottest parts of the day; always use sun block to limit UV ray exposure when you are in the sun. Use Sunglasses, to help block UV rays and protect the fine skin in the eye area. Avoid Tanning Beds, these use UV rays to accelerate tanning, and are worse than regular sun exposure, as they do not provide the natural nutrients or benefits derived from sunlight. Eat a healthy diet, rich in fruits and vegetables and high in antioxidants, which help promote healthy cell production and eliminate toxins. Take vitamins and supplements such as Vitamin A, C and E, which promote healthy skin cell growth. Don't smoke, for many health reasons, but for skin, the oxidants produced by smoking slow skin cell turnover and the repetitive facial gestures, such as pursing lips cause fine lines and wrinkles.

Use Antioxidant enriched skin care products, and ones that promote hydrating, as dry skin cells, tend to make you look older and should be exfoliated. Focus on eye area skin care, because this is where aging shows first with puffiness and fine lines, because of the thinner skin in the area. Use Retinol A products to remove dead, dry skin cells, usually found in the form of chemical peels, to show the healthy, new cells underneath and promote new cell growth, elastin and collagen production.

These hints will help prevent premature aging, along with the use of anti aging creams and anti wrinkle creams. Don't wait until you start seeing the signs to start preventing aging skin symptoms.
