The target stakes are used as a primary target for the game with the target cups permitting a player to score more points; a carrying bag or container; a measurement flag or equal; and a card explaining scoring and rules.

Abstract: A resiliently bendable planar panel has a side that when juxtaposed laterally with a video display screen traverses the width of the screen, and is supported by a plurality of legs. The panel includes sufficient area and form to partition the display into two vertically distinct sections from the visual perspectives of viewers of the screen whenever the side is laterally juxtaposed with the screen. Preferably each leg includes a device slidable up and down the leg for containing and supporting a marginal portion of the panel. Preferably the panel is fabric and includes a marginal bias urging the fabric to be taut, such as an expansion rod disposed in a marginal seam of the panel.

Abstract: A material disposed in the tobacco burning path of a smoking article's ember at a pre-selected point, the material producing a visual and/or audible warning indication in response to encountering the ember for alerting the smoker that the ember is at or in close proximity to the pre-selected point. The warning indicator material is preferably in the form of a sleeve that is disposed around the tobacco cylinder of the smoking article, but can be deposited on or impregnated into a wrapper of the article's cylinder. Alternatively the sleeve can be disposed within the wrapper. Alternatively the indicator material may also be in the form of selectively placed integrated or stick-on patches.
