Beer pong is a drinking game of hand-eye (un)coordination that usually requires at least four people to play. Two people will also suffice in an abbreviated game, however, and can provide for even more intense play, but more on this later. You will normally run into a beer pong game at a party of younger folk who like to drink beer. The atmosphere will get competitive and often times very noisy after one team has "double-cupped" the other.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. To play a pretty standard game of beer pong, you will need: 20 party-sized (16-20 oz) plastic cups, red preferably as that is the color that makes the bulls go running; a long table (regulation calls for 8x2'); a ready supply of ping pong balls, paper napkins (or whatever else you might use to dry and/or clean the balls); and beer, obviously.
Set up 10 cups centered on either end of the table into a triangle, exactly how bowling pins are arranged at the end of an alley: four in the back down to one at the front. Make sure each cups sits flush with the table; otherwise, complaints (otherwise known as "shit-talking") will arise about your team's lack of setting a good rack. Evenly pour three ice-cold beers between the ten cups. Don't worry depending on how many games you play and how fast the games go, three beers between you and your partner is plenty!
The game then begins with the toss. Each partner gets a toss for a total of two throws per side. You can choose to bounce the ball into the cup! However, this could result in general derision of the player practicing this style, unless he/she is deadly good at bouncing the ball for a score. You only get one bounce; after that the players on the other (defending side) are entitled to knock the ball away.
At this point in the game, there are many different ways to proceed. One method involves the option for a defending player to blow a ball out of play if the throw rims into a cup, spinning around like a toilet flush. The spinning motion allows for a chance at blowing the ball out of the cup and to deny the player's attempt. However, this is adding more dirt (i.e. saliva) to an already dirty game. Some like to stem this sanitary issue by having water and napkins on hand to wipe the ball after it has touched the ground or been inside a cup.
My favorite way to play, in fact I live for this, is the aforementioned "double-cup" whereby you and your partner make it into the same cup, thereby affording yourselves each another turn and the dismay of your opponents. Each cup made results in that cup drunk by the defending team. This can be arranged to the discretion of each team, however usually you and your partner will alternate drinking cups. In an abbreviated game of one-on-one "3-cup" you have to drink solo, obviously.
In the standard game re-racks happen when the cups are reduced to 6 and 3: in other words, reforming the triangle. These are not mandatory, at least until the throwing team requests one. The game ends when one side makes all of their opponent's cups, and as an additional penalty the losing team must drink the contents of their opponent's remaining cups. Weird things might happen, like someone will accidentally knock their team's own cups down in the follow through of their shot: what happens next usually is that you lose that cup, but hose rules generally will prevail. Ask your party host.
People get tossed quite well with this game, they have different styles of throwing the ball and taunting their opponents, and generally it is a fun time, unless people take the winning/losing too seriously. When we are drinking and having a fun time, that's all you need. Though please do remember to have someone sober around to break up fights and drive everyone home.

Seasonal Banners, Back to School Sales Banners
One of the busiest times of the year for many retailers is the back to school season. This is a great time to design a custom banner that will attract more customers to your store and your merchandise. By designing an attractive custom vinyl banner that stands out, you can be assured that your back to school sale will be a success.
Here is an example of how a retail store can use a back to school banner, from the initial design stage to the actual display to increase their sales.
Our sample store sells many different items, from clothing to supplies and shoes. This type of store can do very well during the back to school rush, since it is easier for customers to purchase everything they need at one store. However, this store will have to make this point clear on their custom banner to attract the most attention.
Keeping this in mind, the graphics that will need to be used on the promotional banner will have to be carefully considered. They should represent the actual products that are for sale in the store. For example, jeans, shirts, notebooks and pencils could be used to support the main message of the banner.
Once the vinyl graphics have been selected, the main message should be written. Again, keeping in mind that the point of the banner is to let people know that they can get all of their supplies in one place, the message should contain this information. Our sample store decides to use the phrase "All Back to School Supplies 25%" as the center message, with an additional phrase, "Get All of Your Supplies Under One Roof" above this main message
.
Now that the store knows what the vinyl sign will say, it is time to select the colors that will be used on the sign. Since this is a back to school sale, primary colors that are bright and vibrant should be used. That means that yellow, blue and red should be featured heavily throughout the sign. The background color should be easy to read off of, but still eye-catching. In this case, a yellow background will be used. The main text message will be displayed in blue, with the secondary message in red.
The graphics should also follow this color scheme, particularly if they are line art graphics. Green and other bright colors can be brought into the overall color scheme to make the finished product pleasing to the eye. It is important to avoid an overuse of color however, as this will create a visual disturbance.
Now that the banner's design is complete, it is time for the store to decide where they will hang their new custom banner. Their location is in a business area, but they do not have any close competitors or neighbors. This gives the store a few more options for the display of their vinyl banner. In order to attract the most attention, and because the store is set back from the sidewalk, the banner will be hung over the entrance, on the existing overhang. This will ensure that people walking and driving by will easily be able to see the sales banner.

Need help finding model of car..........?
I had a 97.5 Buick Regal GS S/C, all black ( not the two tone) w/red leather interior, dash, etc. Got rid of it about 3 years ago. I knew my interior color was rare for this make and model, and the all black paint job. But what really set this apart from the other supercharged GSs' out there was the exterior badging. The "supercharged" word on my year was a decal above the "Regal" badge on both
doors, plus "supercharged" on the rear tailight (etched in) above the GS badge. Of all the Regals I see now, most are the two tone of course w/the "supercharged" badge on the rear decklid. I see some monochromatic Regals here and there, but there the standard 3.8 GSs'. My car was sold as a 1998. What was so special about my model v.s. the others? I cannot find any GSs' out there w/the particular setup I had. Any build info. is appreciated. I think 97 was the first year for the supercharged 3.8 aside from the true turbos from previous generations. Thanks for the help!!
If the car is as rare as you seem to think, then it's going to be hard to find one on the open market. Try doing a Google search for Buick GS special interest groups or collector's clubs. People who are actively involved in maintaining or restoring these cars are probably the best source of information on finding one for sale.
STATE: Novice drivers must now display special decals
With the implementation of “Kyleigh’s Law” on Saturday, young drivers will be required to let police know they’re behind the wheel by affixing small red decals to their license plates every time they drive.
