annoying long link to JSTOR which is a highly credited medical research type site. They search medical journals and everything that you find is published and nearly all of it is peer reviewed
Okay=http://cybersarges.tripod.com/ptsdhistory.html This is a credited site hosted by an American veteran of the Vietnamhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_traumatic_stress_disorder war. His site is obviously biased on anything involved in the military, but the facts you can find in the medical information is general and reliable.
Bad=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_traumatic_stress_disorder
wikipedia good for boredom and providing heuristics but nothing practical.

The Clinton add which shoes his support public education is effective because it uses emotional appeal by using small children which emphasises the importance of his issue. Clinton also appeals to the minorities as minorities are showed in as prominate members of all educational situations. Clinton also effectivly uses mud slinging aganist his opponint by quoting him as saying that he wants to eliminate education. Clintons use to appeal to the common person of America is very affective at making him look good while making his opponent look bad.

rhetoric of the spirit

I hate analyzing general authorities. That said they are remarkably good speakers and their messages are some of if not the most effective and impacting on peoples very lives. Pres. Monson spoke at the end of the first session of the Sunday morning session. The part of this talk that effected my the most was how he commented on how we should be kind to each other and that for parents the days where their children grow and leave come all to quickly. His message was to cherish those times and to not take them for granted. He taught by the spirit which has more emotional appeal than any other source and his use of logical ideas in the emotional details further strengthened his message. It also helps that he is the Prophet.

This charcoal rendition is a beautiful master piece that would feel at home next to any piece of art work. Yet this piece is not protected behind bulletproof glass or on display in a museum. No this wonderful original work of art is available to you. This depiction was created with the finest materials available to any artist and was created by some of the greatest local artist. Several of the artist works have been are no longer in the public eye as they have already been purchased by private collectors and the widow in which the artwork is available is beginning to close, so act quickly before your opportunity to own an original is gone.

my least favorite thing at byu is that the classes change every day. This is on me however because I am easily confused and tend to get my days mixed up. I'm still awating the day that i walk into the wrong classroom because its wednesday and I thought that it was thursday.
