 Scotsman.com News - Scotland - Site guard who raped lesbian loses appeal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Kenneth Blyth tried to have his conviction overturned by arguing that the jury in the case should have considered the idea that he may have "honestly believed" that his victim had consented to sex.
Blyth was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison after being found guilty of attacking his 34-year-old victim after meeting her in a pub in the Dalry area of the Capital.
Blyth, 30, of Bingham Medway, Edinburgh, launched an appeal at the city's High Court alleging that the trial judge misdirected the jury.

Blyth's book Spin Sisters:How the women of the media sell unhappiness and liberalism was released last Manhattan spring to some good reviews, healthy sales and the chagrin of those whom she sees as an elite media girls' club.
She does, however, find some value in Blyth's idea of an artificial victimhood: the chic, modern ideal of a gal simply too stressed to bear anything but a spa treatment is gaining momentum.
Blyth has written her book, she says "not for the Spin Sisters" or media queens who have raced to assail her, but "for women to assist them in making up their own minds".

 John Ridgway & Chay Blyth
Blyth had been his platoon sergeant, his friend, his teammate.
Blyth believes that an important ingredient in their success is that "John was an officer and used to giving orders, and I was a sergeant and used to taking them."
In Blyth's estimation, however, their biggest error was ignorance, not learning all they could about their specially designed, self-righting boat.

 Birdlife project takes off : Newslink Article - University of Newcastle Upon Tyne
Blyth isn't usually remembered for its birds, but that is what Susan Gebbels is trying to change.
If you want to see these birds, the Blyth estuary is packed with gulls, and the meadows around Blyth are also a good bet for finding wading birds, including lapwings and curlews.
Some of these ideas include; specialised planting schemes to provide food and shelter for the birds; dog free areas on beaches so the birds and their nests are safe and undamaged; and for some hides to be erected from which the birds could be observed.

So as a resident of Holywell and Blyth Valley, I too share some of the concerns being expressed, not only by the FBU, some councillors and the public at large, in Blyth Valley, that if the present proposals are accepted Blyth Valley will lose its two fire stations at Blyth and Cramlington.
If the object of the exercise is to win the hearts and minds of the people of Blyth Valley, then I would suggest to fire chiefs and politicians that the best way to do this is to be prepared to listen to alternative views and ideas and not dismiss them out of hand.
My final concern is that I am led to believe that a number of Blyth Valley county councillors have already expressed their support to the present proposals.

However, as imaginative literature, it remains ultimately subjective in the sense used by R. Blyth as "the state of mind in which a man looks at the outside world, or at himself, as he would like it to be"' The example he quotes from Byron would be hard to beat:
Haiku which most clearly embody 'suchness' as the ground of our being I shall, in the Blyth tradition, call 'Zen haiku' and it is with these that I am particularly concerned.

A project called the Jubilee River, which diverts flood waters from the River Thames in Berkshire, is already open, but it was designed to look and act like a natural river, and it is not generally counted as a new canal.
There is now a large waterways network of canals and navigable rivers throughout Great Britain, with most canals being linked to other canals, navigable rivers or the sea.
In May 2005 The Times reported that British Waterways was hoping to quadruple the amount of cargo carried on Britain's canal network to 6 million tonnes by 2010 by transporting large amounts of waste to disposal facilities.
