I'm coming on the walk from Hathersage as Jos's sister and am keen to participate.  However I regret that I have serious issues about certain aspects of Jos's website in particular the diary entries and the Macmillan nurse essay.  These are not defamatory but I strongly feel and I have some support in this that they are prejudiced and pay no respect to people's right to privacy.  Jos was a marvellous person in many respects but her prejudiced and sometimes  UNTRUE remarks about her birth family have caused pain and she, being very ill, was unable to understand.  I have tried to avoid looking at the website and Caroline (youngest sister) cannot bear to look it.  I feel that she should not continue to cause justified pain with aspects of her writings, posted when terminally ill, and probably unable to exercise discretion and judgement.  My criticism caused her to write back suggesting I was on a manic high which I was not.  The Macmillan Nurse essay is witty and I'm sure the woman was a real pain but I seriously think she should not have her faults perpetuated on a website when she must be easily recognisable in the Hathersage area.  As an email to friends it would have been fine.

She wrote a (trivial) untruth about the hat sent by oldest sister Diana (i.e.that it cost money that could have been given to MAP).  It was a recycled materials hat that Diana had been fond of and thought Jos would like i.e. it cost nothing.  She wrote about my manic depression making speculative comments that I strongly disagreed with and it is ME that lives with the illness and it bears no resemblance to experiencing a steroid high.   She was patronising and ignorant, totally unaware that one's judgement flies out of the window when one is on a high.  There is an element of self-indulgence in going high but she overplays it and mentions not at all the total absence of judgement that makes one convinced that any absurd idea that comes to mind is a fine thing to follow through.  It is for the sufferer to "out" him or herself not for Jos to do it on a website.  Her prejudiced remarks about our late father have caused distress too as there is another side to his character which she did not try to reach being so belligerent.

She writes wonderfully about her terminal cancer and the fellow patients with cancer that she met.  She has tremendous wit and a definite writing talent.  

However, I strongly feel that her diary entries need to be extensively pruned and I shall say so on the walk and I know that this HAS to be said and for the sake of me, at least, it has direct effects on my mental health so it's extremely important.  I want to be left with good memories of Jos whom I loved dearly.

That is a very understandable concern, and I look forward to speaking with you about it.

I do feel strongly that what Jos felt and wrote should be preserved in full, but if there are suggested additions which clarify things, rather than edits, I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to co-exist in some way.

I feel very differently in relation to the Macmillan nurse article than I do about the ones that talk about you Susan.

Lots of love,

Ian

How influentital the Media on Teens Are
     It has been a hot topic discussed heatedly for the time being that how indeed the media influence our teens. Different peopie  come  up  with  different opinions. The following passages are two different comments given by several  teenagers ranging from 15 to 20.
World of Warcraft power leveling,
      One, World of Warcraft power leveling Teens are the most influenced and the easiest to be influenced by
last chaos gold,the media.last chaos gold The media influence the way they dress, talk and conduct themselves. From the latest trends to the coolest celebrities, they imirate what they see, whether it's Katie Holmes's new haircut or the pink shirt that Christina Aguilera wore. So it follows that more serious actions like carrying arms or doing drugs could be copied as well.
aoc power leveling,
      Young people are impressionable.aoc power leveling Therefore, some request that the media should take responsibility by changing some of the content of their shows  especially those for teens. They are huge consumers of media, so networks should show them respect by promoting positive images. They think some shows confuse the lines between entertainment and life.The producers know their audiences are young, so they should realize that teens watching "reality" shows might not be able
aoc power leveling,
to tell the difference between fantasy and fiction.aoc power leveling
      Opposing voices have also come from others. They think that they use the media--magazines, television and movies--to connect to one another and to the world, so naturally,they're influenced by the images the media present. For example, a boy would be lying if he said he didn't want to be like Brad Pitt. Pitt's flawless style, good looks and moneymaking talent seem to define what's "cool".
Final Fantasy XI GIL,
     Nevertheless,Final Fantasy XI GIL those teens hold that the media only provide information, what they as viewers do with that knowledge is up to themselves. They have to learn to make their own choices and accept responsibility for their actions. To blame entertainment figures for certain crimes committed by teens is
funny.
aion kinah,
It's not the fault of TV.aion kinah Media are an expression of our culture--not the cause. It's time we stop making the media a scapegoat for our nation's problems. It's not the media's job to make sure kids understand what they're watching; that responsibility belongs to parents. Parents and schools should dedicate more time to establishing clear rules of discipline.The influence of parents and teachers--the teens' true role model--carries more weight with teenagers than what they hear on the radio or see at the movies.

The benevolent lkslksdju titans created the Emerald Dream to serve as the underlying blueprint for the planet Azeroth. Located outside the physical boundaries of Azeroth, the Dream is a lush and primal forest: the world that Azeroth might have become, had it developed wow power leveling without interference from the sentient races (e.g., technological advances, urbanization, and wars). Although the Dream is wedding dresses beautiful, its primal savagery can also be deadly.The Dream's Purpose wow gold The Dream is under the protection wow power leveling of the green Dragon Aspect, Ysera. After the titans had shaped rolex Azeroth, they sent Ysera into an eternal trance and wedding dresses charged her with watching over all of Azeroth from the Dream. As a result, green dragons guard every portal into the Dream, and they always see both the landscape of Azeroth and the corresponding dreamscape. This enchanted vision, known as dreamsight, allows green dragons to perceive their surroundings with perfect clarity despite the dragons' closed eyes.
Unlike Azeroth, the Emerald Dream is a realm that is primarily spiritual instead of physical. All who enter the Dream can affect it to a minor extent, but only temporarily: the underlying structure of the Dream inevitably reasserts itself. Even Ysera cannot change the Dream permanently, nor, indeed, would she wish to do so. She does not control the Dream; on the contrary, it is closer to the truth to say that the Dream controls her. Using the Dream as her unfaltering guide, she regulates the ebb and flow of nature and the evolutionary path of the world itself.
Perception of the Self Inside the Dream
The creatures of Azeroth can visit the Emerald Dream either physically or via dreams, as the realm's name indicates. When an individual's spirit visits the Dream, leaving the body behind, that individual will manifest his or her dreamform, which normally looks and behaves much as that individual's physical body might. Hence, for most creatures, moving through the Dream is achieved in the normal fashion, despite the realm's chiefly spiritual character.
These rules do not apply to druids of sufficient skill or experience, who are trained to see beyond physical reality. These druids might be capable of abnormal movement in the Dream (e.g., a night elf who can sprint at a greatly accelerated rate, walk through solid objects, or fly). It is quite rare to see such unusual capabilities in non-druids, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility.
Characteristics of the Dream
The Dream can be affected by all dreamers to a minor and temporary extent. However, no living creature except the titans has ever been able to permanently change the Dream. Ysera herself cannot control or shape the Dream, which has its own ecology and a variety of inhabitants, both sentient and non-sentient xll.

    Shortly cheap wow gold, after my parents moved from Pennsylvania to a remote rural area of Ohio near the Kentucky border, they began noticing dark areas of grass in the shape of circles. I saw one myself once when I visited them and teased that it looked as though a UFO had landed there. It would fade away and another would appear somewhere else some time later. One time a friend visited them and they showed them the odd circles of dark grass. The friend told them they are fairy rings. My mother went to the library to see what she could find on fairy rings and learned that folklore tells that if you stand in the center of a fairy ring at midnight during a full moon and make a wish, it will come cheap wow gold true.
    Some time Eve isk,later, a new fairy ring appeared just a few yards from her house. (All the others had been out in the pasture.) There would be a full moon in a few days so she decided to see if the folklore tale was true. During the day she put a bucket in the middle of the ring so she could easily find the center at midnight. The night of the full moon she went to the bucket at midnight and made a wish. Within just a few short months her wish came Eve isk true.
    My parents ffxi gil,had bought this property (140 acres surrounded on three sides by state game lands) and built a new home there so it pretty much depleted all of their savings. There was still so much that they dreamed of having there, but would not be able to do on my father’s pension. My mother’s wish was simply to have all the things they wanted for the property. One of those things was roads to the remote areas. Another was to have a garage and a third dream was to have a small lake on the ffxi gil property.
    Soon wow power leveling,afterward, a company contacted them that was interested in some of the lumber on their property. They would pay for what they forested and promised not to rape the land that my parents loved so much. In order to get to the more remote areas for the trees they wanted to take they had to put in wow power leveling roads.
    One day buy wow gold, my mother was talking to one of the owners of the company. He was telling my mother what beautiful property she had and what potential it had. He seemed to have developed a special fondness for my tiny 78 year old mother, and talked to her quite often during the month or so that they were there. My mother told him about her dream of a lake and he told her they had the equipment to do it and they would do it for her for no charge. They dug a deep and wide area out behind the first meadow and diverted water from a creek into it. My brother stocked it with fish and turtles buy wow gold abound.
    With the money wow power leveling,they made from the sale of the trees they put up a three-stall garage. Some people may say that those things would have occurred anyway even if my mother hadn’t gone out into the yard at midnight during a full moon to make a wish. I guess we will never know. But another occurrence after that only strengthened my belief in fairies. Maybe sometime I will tell you a story of the fairy wow power leveling designers pictures.
