The best gift to get any Dad or grad is laughter. Bringing the family together, laughing, playing a game and eating some good food will make any dad proud! txTylz is the game to entertain your dad this Father’s Day. Think Caveman meets Shakespeare or Star Trek meets John Wayne. How would they communicate? txTylz can be played in any language, Slang, improper spelling are all welcome in this first of its kind game. All you need is a flat surface and your tiles to play -no board required (and no clean up for mom!). txTylz, created by model/actress Joan Severance, brings the fun of texting to an innovative new game. Inviting players to use multiple meanings, phonetic spellings and even other languages, the goal is to get your point across in two minutes with pictures, symbols, letters and words. Outside the box thinking is encouraged and at least one person must accept and understand your play. Victory is only possible if at least one of your opponents understands the meaning that your connected txTylzTM are trying to convey. You must communicate with your txTylzTM and play all of your txTylzTM before your time is up, or else others can steal your unused txTylzTM and earn more points. This innovative new game will be included in the 2013 Mensa Mind Games challenge. A portion of proceeds goes to assist those with Vitiligo (hypo-pigmentation), a condition Severance has had since childhood, in healing through safe and effective means.

Airocide® cleans the air, drawing in harmful airborne pathogens (VOC’s, allergens, pet dander, bacteria, etc.), and forces them into a matrix which destroys them on contact. Airocide is different from any other air purifier because it doesn’t contain a filter. The technology, developed by NASA, clears the air of the major causes of allergy symptoms, including pollen, mold, fungi, viruses and bacteria, and virtually 100 percent of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) – the harmful gasses emitted by products you have around your home, like aerosol sprays, cleaning supplies, dry-cleaned clothing, paints, pesticides and even air fresheners.
