The Virginia Tech Murders I was just watching the news where they were calling the virginia tech gunman 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui a monster. And I can't help thinking he was a victim too despite having commited an obviously horrific act he was clearly very ill and had been refered for psychiatric treatment...
Any thoughts?

This is Glade Festival approved application ... through the good the bad and the ugly here it is .... i was in touch with vicky wheatley, she kindly mailed this to me the day after itd been approved. So here it is for persons wanting to have a look ...
APPLICATION NUMBER: 017712
Premises Licence Application - Transitional with Variation
SITE: The Glade Festival. Wasing Estate, Aldermaston, Reading. RG7 4NJ.
I write to inform you that the Licensing Sub-Committee has now determined this application, and it has been APPROVED with conditions as detailed below. In coming to their decision the Sub-Committee had first to consider the four objectives of the Licensing Act:
1.Prevention of Crime and Disorder;
2.Public Safety;
3.Prevention of Public Nuisance; and
4.Protection of Children from Harm.
In this instance the Committee felt that adequate provision had been made in respect of these objectives, subject to the conditions as in the operating schedule, any relevant mandatory conditions in ss 19 – 21 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the following variations:
(1) The Glade Noise Team shall carry out a survey to determine the background noise levels, LA90 (15 minutes) covering the typical week/weekend period for the Festival. The background noise levels to be monitored at noise sensitive locations to be agreed with West Berkshire Licensing Authority 2 months before the event. The information obtained from this survey shall be made available to the Licensing Authority 2 months before the event.
REASON: After hearing the Applicants and the Environmental Health representations, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that a statutory public nuisance had been created at the 2005 and 2006 Glade Festivals. The Applicants at the 2006 Hearing of their application had persuaded the Sub-Committee that they had sufficient control measures in place to prevent a statutory public nuisance at the 2006 event, however this proved not to be the case. On this basis the Sub-Committee believe stricter controls imposed in this condition are necessary to prevent a third statutory public nuisance being created.
(PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE).
(2) Noise levels from the operation of the Glade Festival 2007 during the hours of 09:00 Р23:00 shall not exceed 45dB LAeq (15 minutes) and 70dB at 63Hz and 125Hz octave frequency bands, when measured 1 metre from the fa̤ade of noise sensitive properties. The noise levels to be monitored at noise sensitive locations to be agreed with West Berkshire Licensing Authority 2 months before the event.
REASON: After hearing the Applicants and the Environmental Health representations, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that a statutory public nuisance had been created at the 2005 and 2006 Glade Festivals. The Applicants at the 2006 Hearing of their application had persuaded the Sub-Committee that they had sufficient control measures in place to prevent a statutory public nuisance at the 2006 event, however this proved not to be the case. On this basis the Sub-Committee believe stricter controls imposed in this condition are necessary to prevent a third statutory public nuisance being created. The Applicants agreed at the Hearing that daytime levels of sound would end at 23:00 hours and their sound expert, Mr Jim Griffiths, advised that they could provide real time sound monitoring rather than averaged every 15 minutes.
(PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE).
(3) Noise levels from the operation of the Glade Festival 2007 during the hours of 23:00 Р09:00 shall not exceed the background noise level (LA90 (15 minutes)) plus 5dB, and 65dB at 63Hz and 125Hz octave frequency bands, when measured 1 metre away from the fa̤ade of noise sensitive properties. The noise levels to be monitored at noise sensitive locations to be agreed with West Berkshire Licensing Authority 2 months before the event.
REASON: After hearing the Applicants and the Environmental Health representations, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that a statutory public nuisance had been created at the 2005 and 2006 Glade Festivals. The Applicants at the 2006 Hearing of their application had persuaded the Sub-Committee that they had sufficient control measures in place to prevent a statutory public nuisance at the 2006 event, however this proved not to be the case. On this basis the Sub-Committee believe stricter controls imposed in this condition are necessary to prevent a third statutory public nuisance being created. The Applicants agreed at the Hearing that daytime levels of sound would end at 23:00 hours and their sound expert, Mr Jim Griffiths, advised that they could provide real time sound monitoring rather than averaged every 15 minutes.
(PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE).
(4) All exceedances of the noise limits to be recorded in a noise event log by the Glade Noise Team, and updated every 15 minutes. This data to be made available on demand to the Licensing Authority during the event, and also submitted to West Berkshire Licensing Authority 48 hours after closure of the event.
REASON: After hearing the Applicants and the Environmental Health representations, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that a statutory public nuisance had been created at the 2005 and 2006 Glade Festivals. The Applicants at the 2006 Hearing of their application had persuaded the Sub-Committee that they had sufficient control measures in place to prevent a statutory public nuisance at the 2006 event, however this proved not to be the case. On this basis the Sub-Committee believe stricter controls imposed in this condition are necessary to prevent a third statutory public nuisance being created.
(PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE).
(5) By no later than 2 months before the event, agreement must be reached between the premise licence holder and Thames Valley Police as to the resources, facilities and special police services to be provided and paid for by the premise licence holder. A copy of this agreement is to be provided by the premise licence holder to West Berkshire Licensing Authority within 2 weeks of the agreement being concluded.
REASON: After hearing the representations from the Applicants and Thames Valley Police, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that the level of security and policing of the event were previously inadequate to effectively police this event and control crime; in particular in relation to drug supply, possession and use.
(PREVENTION OF CRIME AND DISORDER).
(6) A copy of the written agreement between the applicant and the South Central Ambulance NHS Trust regarding off site transfer to hospital, shall be supplied to West Berkshire Licensing Authority no more than 2 months before the event.
REASON: After hearing the representations from the Applicants and West Berkshire Environmental Health – Public Health team, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that this condition was necessary for public safety.
(PUBLIC SAFETY).
(7) Valid certification to operate lasers to be received from the HSE prior to operation and made available to West Berkshire Licensing Authority.
REASON: After hearing the representations from the Applicants and West Berkshire Environmental Health – Public Health team, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that this condition was necessary for public safety.
(PUBLIC SAFETY).
(8) The capacity of the venue is limited to a daily amount of 12,500 persons attending the Glade Festival 2007.
REASON: After hearing the representations from the Applicants, West Berkshire Environmental Health – Public Health team and Thames Valley Police, the Sub-Committee were persuaded that this condition was necessary for public safety as there would not be sufficient capacity at the other venues when the two main stages closed at 23:00 hours and to ensure the event is policeable.
(PUBLIC SAFETY and PREVENTION OF CRIME AND DISORDER).

Help needed: university dissertation about the acid house movement! Hello
Im a university student in Nottingham writing my final year dissertation about the Acid House movement of the late 80`s and the modern day rave scene. Gonna leave a few questions on here so any responses from everyone would be really helpful so i can use quotations. Thankyou!!
What is everyones views on the huge media attention the Acid House movement recieved in the early 90`s with the Criminal Justice Act being enforced and Thatcherism taking a real stand against illegal parties?
As drug taking was such a huge part of the rave scene do you feel it to be a positive thing or a negative aspect? Do you feel that the scene would have taken off as strongly without the ecstacy involvement?
Thanks guys!! any help would be really appreciated! if anyone wants to e-mail me my address is: candyass_barbie@hotmail.com
Amsterdam to Heathrow customs Hey all, I'm heading to the Dam this weekend and could do with some info. If I were to bring a box of shrooms back over with me, nothing too much, what would customs do if they discovered it? Would they
a) slap me on the wrist and give me a fine
b) send me to a Bangkok prison to live off a diet of cockroaches and rice for 60 years... or something near equivalent
If the answer is 'b' people then fear not - I'll simply stuff them in the bag of the chick I'm flying with, mwahahaha....
Cheers for anything you can muster up!12

UK : East : Do crews clean up the forest/woods midweek? been wondering about this..
there are a lot of good parties in Thetford forest, but as usual by the end of it there are many bottles/cans/balloons left behind..I do see people with bags tidying up, but this is often late on Sunday evening and it must be getting dark..
And what about the tracks where all the cars are parked? I hope some people take away their own trash (maybe most do)...
Does someone from the crew go back there on Monday and help clear up, or is it all left to Forestry Commissions rangers to deal with? I haven't seen loads of complaining articles in the local papers though, so maybe there is a "clean up crew" associated with the raves (this used to happen in SE England)
Incidentally I worked at Defra for many years (they work very closely with Forestry Commission) and would look out for any notes/news articles about environmental problems caused by raves, yet it seems that they weren't even seen as a major environmental problem until Davidstow in 2006 (by which time I had left that job).
Defra were sort of a sister organisation but a "rival" to Forestry commission as well (Blair made us "compete" for various bits of work), particularly with regard to looking after SSSIs.
At one rave in SE England a few years back I went for a spangled wander in the morning, and saw a friend of mine who always clears up litter in the morning - she was with a good looking blonde girl also clearing litter - I was getting ready to chat up what I thought was a a "pretty hippy girl" (suprising for me, being quite shy) when I suddenly realised she was wearing a Forestry uniform fleece and badge :scared:
So I quickly disappeared, although later I cursed myself for being paranoid as "nothing would have happened, there's no way she would have known who I was or work could have found out.."
Then on Monday at work my Head of Division (your ultimate boss in the Civil Service) who was sort of "hippy accountant"(!) type arrived and said to everyone "hope you had a good weekend, I've just been on a working weekend preserving woodlands with the Forestry Commission" (it turned out he had been in virtually the same area I had been) - looks like I had a lucky escape...
