This is for a highschool party, is it a good idea?

So, my friend was talking to me about this the other day. He works for a party company, which has party buses, venue connections and all the rest. He wants to know if this is a good idea. He is hosting a high school party for teens 15 – 18 (must show high school ID to get in) and it’s called the “traffic light jam”. Anyway, to get to the point, if you’re in a relationship, you will get a red bracelet, if you’re “in the mix”, you will get a yellow bracelet, and if you’re single, you’ll get a green bracelet. That’s how it’s gonna work out. I want to know, do you think he has a good idea in his head? He also wants other ideas if you’d like to add more.

Thanks!

Lights for a Color Organ?

Im building a 3 channel color organ for my stereo, it works, im just making a small container to house the electronics right now, so basically, its almost done. Now, my question is, what kind of lights should i use? I would prefer them to be able to take standard 25Watt light bulbs, I have 3 colors of these bulbs already, so i’d rather not get lights that take different bulbs.

I have no idea what kind of light to get, I’d rather not go with 3 table lamps, that would look kind of odd, so, does anyone have any ideas? I’m going to use this for parties, when we gather up and play Rock Band 2, I figure it would be pretty sweet to have the lighting effects.

I did hear an Idea of taking a 3 channel traffic light, and have it flashing, like the bottom for bass, middle for mid, and the top red light for trebles, but i have no idea where to find a traffic light…

Fancy Dress costumes ?

I have a fancy dress party in like 2 days and have no idea what to go as! Some of my friends are going as like ipods and traffic light, so i want to go as something original but not something that will make me feel stupid. any ideas?

Is this not the best thing you have ever read?

Recently, a California website ran an e-mail forum (a question and answer exchange) where the topic was
“Policing the Community.”
One of the civilian email participants posed the
following question:
“I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to continually harass people and get away with it?”
From the “other side” (the law enforcement side) a cool cop with a sense of humor replied: “It is not easy. In California we average one cop for every 2,000 people. About 60% of those cops are on patrol, where we do most of the harassing. One-fifth of that 60% are on duty at any given moment and are available for harassing people. So, one cop is responsible for harassing about 10,000 residents. When you toss in the commercial, business and tourist locations that
attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a situation where a single cop is responsible for harassing 20,000 or more people each day.
A ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds. This gives a cop one second to harass a person, and three-fourths of a second to eat a donut AND then find a new person to harass. This is not an easy task. Most cops are not up to it, day in and day out. It is just too tiring.
What we do is utilize some tools.
They are as follows:
PHONE: People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on a person for special harassment. “My neighbor is beating his wife” is a code phrase we use. Then we come out and give special harassment.
Another popular one on a weeknight is, “The kids next door are having a loud party.”
CARS: We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They like to harass the drivers of fast cars, cars blasting music, cars with expired registration stickers and the like. It is lots of fun when you pick them out of traffic for nothing more obvious than running a red light. Sometimes you get to really heap the harassment on when you find they have drugs in the car, are driving drunk, or they have an outstanding warrant.
RUNNERS: Some people take off running just at the
sight of a police officer. Nothing is quite as
satisfying as running after them like a beagle on the scent of a bunny. When you catch them you can harass them for hours.
LAWS: When you can think of nothing else to do, there are books that give ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are called “Laws” -Penal, Vehicle, Health and Safety, Business and Professional Laws, to name just a few. They spell out all sorts of things for which you can
really mess with people. After you read the law, you can just drive around for a while until you find someone violating one of these listed offenses and harass them. Just last week I saw a guy smash a car window. Well, the law says that is not allowed. That meant I got permission to harass this guy.
It is a pretty cool system that we have set up, and it works pretty well. We seem to have a never ending supply of folks to harass. And we get away with it.
Why?
Because the good citizens who pay the tab actually like the fact that we keep the streets safe for them.
Next time you are in my town, give me a single finger wave.
That will be a signal that you wish for me to take a little closer look at you, and then maybe I’ll find a reason to harass YOU!
Looking forward to meeting you.

Is this okay for first real article?

Hey, its me again, the wannabe journalist
I went to an eighteenth birthday party last night and i thought this would be a brilliant event to pratice journalism on. Could you see if it’s okay? Bear in mind im only 12

On August 11th 09 Callum Bower celebrated his eighteenth birthday with a fancy dress party. But, because he wanted to turn eighteen at midnight, he held the party the day before his actual birthday.
Another Bower was celebrating her birthday too, and she was turning twelve, her name is Anastasia Bower. Anastasia is Callums younger sister who was born on the 11th. I asked her “What is it like having your older brother celebrate his eighteenth birthday on your twelfth birthday?”
“It’s really annoying, because everyone’s arrives at the party, and are like, Happy Birthday Callum! Then they’d just look at me and be like, “Oh yeah, happy birthday Anastasia.” They put him first, when his birthday isn’t actually until the day after mine!”
The majority of people dressed up for the party, there were a mixture of ideas, a Bumblebee, a Ladybird, two Cowboys, one even had an inflatable horse! There were two Tinkerbells, two Zorro Bandits. A genie, a Red Indian, a Robin Hood, an Angelina Jolie as Tomb Raider, a Sandy from Grease, a Pink Lady from Grease, two Lluminos ( a person dressed in all florescent and aluminous clothing ), I was in fact one of the Lluminos.
Callum Bower was dressed up as a kind of Superman, he had tights, purple boxers, and black long-sleeved cycling top and leg warmers on. He had sprayed a purple streak in his hair and painted a mask on his face with purple face paint.
He wore a piece of string around his neck with a traffic sign saying ‘ 18 and Sexy’.
People who didn’t dress up had to put orange and purple face paint on when they arrived.
There were a selection of foods and drinks, different champagnes, beer and soft fizzy drinks for the children. I wouldn’t exactly say people were being abstemious though, lots of people became drunk, and this made it even funnier when everybody played Pass The Parcel.
You may be thinking, ‘pass the parcel, at and eighteenth birthday?’ but this Pass the Parcel has an hilarious twist, in every layer, there is a prop and a sheet of paper with a task on. Examples are:
There’s a huge bra when a man has opened it, and he has to be sexy and pole dance on a broom.
A woman has opened a huge pair of knickers and she has to put them on the ‘Birthday Boy.’
Somebody has opened a pair of glasses with a nose attached and they have to put them on, pull a face and be photographed and the picture has to go on their facebook page.
Or you might not get a prop it would be a charade, and sometimes you get ‘Jump in the hot tub with two people of your choice and the Birthday Boy.
Though at one point the throwing got very enthusiastic and was launched into a shelf that had crystal figures on them, Fortunately, just a leaf and a petal came off a crystal flower and nothing was
seriously damaged.
After the food I asked a few people what they thought of the food and how the party was, everyone I had asked had said both was really good. Then these guests played a trick on Robert Bower, the father of Callum. Robert is really into UFO’s and things like that, so they had an idea which was to light a lantern and let t go into the sky and we’d all pretend it was a UFO.
Robert had his binoculars out and he saw that it was a lantern. It was a good trick though. I asked him “So, Robert, did you see the UFO?”
“I could see it was just a lantern, ha-ha, it was a very funny trick though” He laughed.
Midnight came and we gave Callum the birthday bumps, and then we came inside and watched him open his cards and presents. He got things like, wallets, belts, aftershave and beer. He was very grateful for his presents.
Then when the party ended everyone walked home or slept over, because they couldn’t drive from all of their drinks.

It’s actually in three columns and indented paragraphs and when i ask a question its in bold and the answer is in italic. i have added a picture of everyone in there fancy dress.

Is it good?
Honest Opinion please.
the title is Eighteen and Sexy

Car accident – overtaking at a junction?

I was involved in a car accident this September and I am not claiming liability as the third party overtook 3 stationary vehicles in a line of traffic at a junction I was pulling out of. The 3rd party “dragged” their car across the bumper of mine and drove off. The 3rd party was not indicating and drove onto oncoming traffic. 3rd party did not stop and I had to drive up behind them and flash my lights to get them to pull over. Police arrived and 3rd party did not admit liability and police did nothing. Checked out Highway code and states that it is wrong to overtake at junction. This is still ongoing and very upsetting that 3rd party lying and saying I “pulled” into them! Any ideas?
I was on the road at the time moving into the lane. 3rd party pulled out onto oncoming traffic, stationary vehicles not indicating to manoeuver just in a car park situ. driver got frustrated obv and tried to bypass the queue.Grrr
