Description:
High tech, high action and truly unique! Deflexion combines lasers with classic strategy for cool, smart...Zap! "Gotcha!" Satisfaction. Strategy at the Speed of Light... Each player begins with 12 Egyptian-themed pieces and a laser built into the board. The goal is to arrange your pieces so that the laser's beam bounces off their mirrored sides with the goal of illuminating opponent's pieces to eliminate them from the game. Players alternate turns moving the mirrored pieces around the playing field after which they fire their low powered laser diode in attempts to hit the opponent's Pharaoh. Deflexion is fun and easy to learn. Developed by mechanical engineering students and similar to chess, the challenge is in thinking about the playing field as a whole. Because all the pieces move in the same way, you can learn how to play in minutes. The hard part is keeping your pharaoh safe all while trying to zap your opponent and kill him...your opponent's pharaoh, that is. Although the laser does not effect people, we are not suggesting zapping anyone or anything. Deflexion employs two class II lasers which are lower in power than most laser pointers on the market, (usually class III). This means that although you still get the neat effect of firing a laser to bombard your opponent's pieces, you will not get the wow effect of seeing it melt or blow holes through the playing field. Deflexion makes light strategy fun for all ages. According to the experts, product testing shows that players of all ages and groups find Deflexion easy to learn and fun to play. In fact "geeks" was the only group to give a 9 out of 10 on overall enjoyment, instead of the usual 10 out of 10 from all other groups, including swimsuit supermodels. Deflexion has received the following accolades: Wired Magazine's Super Cool Toys for 2005 Popular Science named Deflexion "A Must Have Product" American Mensa Select Winner Featured in Business Week and Tulane University Magazine

Got these as a gift for my father recently. I'm not a big golfer, but the idea behind these tees intrigued me. I'll be sure to post an update once he's tried these things out!

Description:
# The best tension-relieving massage - Junetsu ultra-kneading - is performed by professionals but never a massage chair until now!
# Only Panasonic's 21st-century massage-replication technology controls 600 movements per second to mimic therapeutic Junetsu - the pinpoint, high-speed, circular ultra-kneading by the thumbs that accounts for as much as 60 percent of the movements performed by a professional masseuse.
# Junetsu focuses on the muscle directly %u2014 without much movement of the skin %u2014 to relax tense muscles more effectively than any other massage-chair technique.
# Real Pro Ultra massages more of your body than any massage chair on the market - over 200 square inches of your back and neck (with 4-roller mechanism), and over 480 square inches of air massage (with 18 pairs of airbags) of your outer shoulders, waist, hips, thighs, seat, arms, palms, calves, shins and feet (including soles and arches) all simultaneously!
# Four individuals can create and save a virtual map of their back; the massage rollers will remember each user's "S" curve contours for 6 personalized massage programs.
# Easy-care upholstery looks and feels like soft leather. Select Black or Brown.
This item is on my 'one day dreaming' wishlist. I've gotten to try it out more than once, and I have to say it's quite the experience. However, the price tag is more than a little bit daunting for the average person. Perhaps one day the price will come down more and make it a more reasonable purchase. One can only hope!
