- Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html)
- The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems, the humanities style (notes and bibliography) and the author-date system. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars. The humanities style is preferred by many in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography. It accommodates a variety of sources, including esoteric ones less appropriate to the author-date system. The more concise author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author's last name and date of publication. The short citations are amplified in a list of references, where full bibliographic information is provided.

The progressive movement lost one of its biggest primary battles in the 2012 cycle Tuesday. Ilya Sheyman, a 25-year-old community activist, was defeated by businessman Brad Schneider, who will now face Rep. Robert Dold (R-Ill.) in the November election for Illinois' new 10th Congressional District.
Update on Ilya, March 19:
Heading into Tuesday's Democratic primary, a new poll shows Ilya Sheyman now leading conservative Democrat Brad Schneider by eighteen points. Looks like Sheyman's smart approach to campaigning is paying off—speaking directly to voters about his commitment to economic opportunity and fairness, and how government and community support helped his own family find success after immigrating to this country. Representative Raul Grijalva, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has asked people to join him and all voters in the district.
If this election year represents a potential crossroads for Democrats — wherein the party must choose to either embrace progressive principles or espouse moderation in the name of electability — Tuesday's U.S. House primary contest in Illinois's 10th Congressional District might well be instructive.
A Public Policy Polling survey paid for by liberal groups supporting Ilya Sheyman shows him leading Brad Schneider by 18 points heading into Tuesday's 10th District Democratic primary.
Sheyman's 45 percent to 27 percent lead is a dramatic swing in Sheyman's favor over just the last two weeks, a change that the Progressive Change Campaign Committee ascribes to the mail campaign highlighting Schneider's past donations to Republicans.
It's not at all surprising, given the media's concentration on the fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party between tea party conservatives and the GOP's more pragmatic conservative wing, that most journalists have completely ignored the ideological fights within the Democratic Party this year.
The fight to win back the House—just like the fights to hold the White House and Senate—will not be easy. In order to not only win but to move any kind of agenda that addresses tax equity, environmental policy, immigration reform, housing, you name it, simply reinforcing the current Democratic narrative while being pulled further to the right by the Blue Dogs just isn't enough. We need a more democratic—note small "d"—House.
We need to elect progressives.
Former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) has made his first endorsement in a Democratic primary since leaving the Senate. He's putting his weight and the strength of his PAC, Progressives United, behind Ilya Sheyman, a community activist in his mid-20s running as the progressive choice in the primary to select which Democrat will get a shot at Rep. Robert Dold (R-IL), who some Democrats think is vulnerable this year.
Although largely identified as a liberal effort, the Occupy Movement is viewed differently by the Democrats running for the 10th congressional district seat.
Ilya Sheyman of Waukegan voiced strong support for the protesters who have occupied parks and other public spaces in Chicago, New York City and elsewhere.
Progressive candidate for Congress also wins overwhelmingly in New Trier Democratic Organization endorsement vote
Waukegan community organizer Ilya Sheyman's campaign for the Democratic nomination to earn the right to challenge Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) got a boost today with its best fundraising quarter since the race began and a pair of endorsements.
Simply put, the big idea behind the Robin Hood Tax is to generate hundreds of billions of dollars. That money could provide funding for jobs to kickstart the economy and get America back on its feet. It could help save the social safety net here and around the world. And it will come from fairer taxation of the financial sector.

Its Surreal Thing: The Temptation of Objects
October 4, 2013 through January 5, 2014
Surrealism loves a duality. Especially one it can hatethat is, one that wields a contradiction. Day and night, waking and dreaming, the rational and irrational, conscious and unconscious, and so onwhen we fixate on the collision of such incompatibles, we drop the silky comfort of the real and slip into the wiry vertigo of the surreal.
The idea here is that there is always more to life than what we see outright. The promise of something elsea view to the obscuredresides not solely in the things themselves, but in the attraction they exert on us. Held in this tension, things will divulge more than were accustomed to seeing. The flashlight of surrealism is to reveal the secret charms and repulsions that subtend the night world of ordinary and extraordinary things.
Its Surreal Thing explores the temptations of objectsworks of art and design and sometimes the confusion of the two. The exhibition is not about a movement or its history, but about the effect of surrealism before, during, and after the historical movement. Its Surreal Thing ranges from post-Impressionism to postmodernism, with Constructivism and Pop along the way.
John Pfahl: Points of View
August 23, 2013 through January 5, 2014
John Pfahl was a pioneer in the transformation of American landscape photography in the 1970s, and his body of work has influenced generations of artists.
For more than four decades, Pfahls approach has encouraged us to contemplate images conceptually and visually and to consider the evolving ways in which humans interact with the land socially and photographically. Pfahl has captured such changes through numerous series that deal with the environment, both natural and constructed. This exhibition includes prints from his first formal series, Altered Landscapes (197478), and from Power Places (198184); all are from the permanent collection of the Sheldon Museum of Art.
Picturing Nebraska
Traveling Nebraska communities through June 8, 2014
In Nebraska City January 7February 5, 2014.
This exhibition highlights 14 artists in the Sheldon Museum of Arts permanent collection whose works interpret the experience of life on the Great Plains. Globalization may have eroded the significance of distance and space, but the places in which we live still remain personal and meaningful.
Picturing Nebraska explores the ways in which artists have depicted the state and asks viewers to examine its role in their own lives. Early photographs by John Anderson and Solomon Butcher, landscape images by Keith Jacobshagen and Karen Kunc, and photographs by Binh Danh and Wright Morris are included, among other works. A portion of University of NebraskaLincoln professor Liz Ingrahams project Mapping Nebraska is also on view.

Featuring … Long Dead Kings, Lana and the Tradesman, Sabiya (+ 1 more act TBC)
Folklore's Sunday club starts a little earlier in the month of June at 2:15 until about 7:15. There will still be four quality live acts as well as games, silent films and Wonderful homemade baking from Wright Little Baker .. YUM!!
Formed in late 2010, LONG DEAD KINGS are one third rootsy lullabies, one third dark country noir and er… another third valve pushing folk rock.
Occupying a large 19th century church in Crouch End, North London, the band comprises three multi-instrumentalist (they swap around sometimes) songwriters, a campaigning rhythm section and no one single questionably principled front man.
As you read this from the comfort of your home or office or school or prison cell, the band is most likely out there somewhere like Kilburn, slogging away, entertaining the whiskey-sodden masses with music and songs and words.
The band released their first full album in 2011, and previously worked with producers at London based artist development outfit The Animal Farm. They also have their own residency night, 'Before The Goldrush', at The Wilmington Arms in London, showcasing the best as yet undiscovered Folk Rock and Americana artists.
Next up is Newly formed band Lana & the Tradesmen. David Burns from Orchid has penned some beautiful tunes of his own style and fronts the band which include Lucy Grimble on Piano and backing vocals, Geoff Hayden on guitar and bass and Alana Goddard on drums. Originally called The Tradesmen (Dave and Geoff) the name Lana was added when Alana joined on drums. Lucy is the latest member of the band so discussions are no doubt going to have to take place to see if the bands name will evolve any further. The Band are currently in the studio recording their debut album to be released later in the year!
Some of her earliest memories are of baking (making jam tarts from Mum's pastry offcuts counts as baking, right?) and I struggle to imagine any problem that couldn't be made better with a biscuit fresh from the oven.

Great jacket! Just had a bad experience with a cream A+O tweed jacket and was pleasantly surprised with this yellow piece. The color is lovely - a wonderful shade(a true sunshine yellow). Super comfortable, lining is cute, and TTS fit. Not too tight, not too loose. For reference I am usually a 2-4 in Blazers/Jackets and got a size small. The only thing that is strange is the metallic threading - it is almost iridescent instead of being gold or silver. All in all, HIGHLY recommend. Perfect for Spring!

Every international traveler knows the situation: A uniformed agent asks a series of questions before allowing you to board a flight.
Did you pack your bag? Did anyone else have access to them? Did anyone give you a gift, and so on?
Whether you are in Munich or Maritius, the questions for international travelers are posed in English. It is a major advantage of being American.
In fact, English is well on the way to becoming Mother Earth`s linqua franca, the modern equivalent of the Latin that once knitted the intelligentsia and rulers of Europe together well into the 20th century.
Americans who travel recognize this advantage perhaps more than anyone else and, consequently, probably have a less jaundiced view of the rest of the world.
In the cabin of an international flight, announcements are always made in English and additionally in the language of departure: Spanish from Madrid, Russian out of Sheremetyevo and Spanish from Santiago, but always coupled with English. It is the law of the air.
It can be comical when a Portuguese pilot sambas through the explanation of which electronic apparatuses must be turned off during flight with words that are not quite English. Most seasoned travelers can recite by heart the oft heard script, but new fliers will scratch their heads in confusion.
In the airport, every newsstand blares headlines in English. Most international magazines are in English or offer page layouts where the English is followed or paralleled by the language of the land where the airport newsstand is located.
CNN is everywhere overhead and overheard. Signage is more frequently in English than any other language, whether in the airport, a restaurant or in shop windows.
Customs officials all speak English of a sort. But, here was a Chinese boarding screener in Paris in the infamous Charles de Gaulle Airport who spoke precious little English and halting French.
In combination with much waving of hands and nodding of heads, the two languages got us through, but it was a bit Monty Pythonesque. Usually, however, the screeners speak more precise English than most American college seniors.
In fact, it is rare for a hired hand in the tourism business not to speak English. Inglais is as ubiquitous as is McDonald's. Many foreign travelers have learned English to facilitate travel, so recently it was with more than a bit of humor that I watched a man and a woman sitting next to each other on a flight discover that both spoke native Portuguese after a full hour of small talk in English.
This linguistic patina of English gives we gringos an obvious advantage over someone from Uzbekistan or Germany, and is a reason why so many Americans can find a job in Shenzhou or Kiev teaching English to eager natives. Some hybrid of English is the language of the future.
But English still has a few competitors: Russian, Chinese and Spanish, foremost.
The Russian language and alphabet dominate the largest landmass on earth. From the Baltic to the Pacific, from the North Pole to Central Asia, Russian links Nordic blonds with swarthy Mongols and olive-skinned Georgians.
But in Moscow, the business class, educators and scientists all take pride in their English, mingle English into their everyday chatter and wax eloquently in our mother tongue whenever the opportunity presents itself to engage an Amerikanets.
There are well over a billion Chinese, but again, anyone who wants to get ahead there speaks English. And, while Spanish serves millions from Tiera del Fuego to Chicago, it, too, is incorporating English at an astonishing rate.
Anyone who has been to Lowe�s lately can attest to the rise of Spanish, even in the heart of modern English. But the educated in Spain and Uruguay and Chile all speak English, because it is also the language of commerce.
Many foreigners, in fact, speak a more polished, grammatically correct English than can be generally found on a Saturday night at Parkview Field.
As for most other languages on Earth, they will eventually go the way of Cornish or Esperanto.
The reason why English is the language of travel is the same reason Latin ruled from the time of Christ for centuries on��. English is the language of commerce and wealth.
We still have the No. 1 economy on the planet. Coupled with the dollar as the world�s currency, the benefits to Americans are immense.
We can travel to almost any corner of the Earth, use our money and do business in our language. That gives Americans an immediate upper hand.
In most countries, the dollar is accepted as easily as the local currency, so we are often spared many of the troubles in business transactions. And, now, with our credit cards accepted in ecotourism yurts in Mongolia, we barely need to carry cash, thus further lightening the Americans' travel load.
Additionally, often the ground rules of international commerce are based on Anglo Saxon law, making our lives yet easier. You can expect a refund without involving a border guard.
Ever wonder what languages are spoken among world leaders at important conferences? Ever wonder what language is spoken in a World Cup match when the ref is German, the opposing players Polish and Greek? Nearly everyone uses English.
So, count your lucky stars, Fort Wayners, the world still welcomes us, beckons us and caters to us. Be not afraid of falling off the edge of the world, despite the short legroom, the below-average food and the screaming baby two seats over. Travel is made for Americans.
The world has the "Open" sign in its window and speaks your language.

Bring Back the \'F\'
The World Wrestling Federation should STAY the World Wrestling Federation. The undersigned ask that World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) revert back to the WWF name. If it\'s not possible to continue use of the WWF initials due to legal issues, the undersigned believe that World Wrestling Entertainment should refrain from using initals at all, and use the Federation\'s full name. Out of respect for the years of wrestling history and tradition, we desire to see the World Wrestling Federation name carry on into the future. The change to World Wrestling \"Entertainment\" diminishes our ability to take the on-screen product seriously, and is a constant reminder that what we\'re seeing isn\'t real. Without that suspension of disbelief, the programming becomes far less enjoyable. Again, we encourage World Wrestling Entertainment to reconsider their name change, and if at all possible, revert back to the World Wrestling Federation name.

"Спарта multi-field Research Station had been festering in the planning phase for decades at the start of what is affectionately dubbed 'Humanity's first Interplanetary Golden Era'. The era lasted about seventy five years and saw an explosion of progress in many areas of interest, space travel and its associated components being the most profitable. It came about through an Earth-wide revolution in thinking and ideology, kind of similar to a huge corporate take-over i suppose. Suddenly there were trillions of Sterlings available for anything you can imagine. Large scale off-world ore mining, colonizing and terra-forming far off planets, research into medicines and virtually every other science you can think of. Of course it started off as a trickle, a few planets being claimed and colonised, a few lunar mining projects et cetera. But as the money began pouring in from these ventures, the trickle turned into a torrent. Consortiums from all over the world took part in the gold rush, from villages pooling together and purchasing an extractor/freighter to huge multi-nationals having entire fleets manufactured to their design.
The idea behind Спарта station changed hands several times, as corporations lost interest or moved onto different avenues, but finally the deeds were picked up by natural gas behemoth Gazprom; who immediately put the plans into action. Having already discovered and claimed a world with which to conduct their affairs in peace, Gazprom erected the Station and it's defenses in record time. It's purpose was split into several areas. Let's not go into that but i'll just say they involved natural gas as well as some other...unsavory areas of research. Everything went well for a while. Gazprom sold the rights to land deemed invaluable to eager colonists. Small communities popped up all over the planet, harvesting ore and gases to be shipped back to Earth and other worlds. Then the bubble burst. No one has concisely written the reasons for it down yet. Something to do with 'insufficient returns' and other issues going on back on Earth, massive drouts and civil unrest. Funding dried up.
The first reaction was to sever all ties with the colonies they had pumped so much money into, but millions of lives would have been in jeopardy, so another alternative had to be reached. In the end it was decided that all colonies and projects would gain sovereignty, and all colonies would be floated on stock markets on every planet to secure new funding. Booming 'New Earths' like Cornucopia and Templar finally had a chance to buy up assets that Earth couldn't afford to sustain. Gazprom sold eighty percent of Спарта station to other companies and only maintained a small scale operation there. The staff on site at any one time was cut by around 20% and the more accomplished researchers and scientists were bought up by stakeholders and shipped off to better funded facilities. The highly specialized maintenance droids were also taken away and replaced with hardier, more generic models that could keep going for millennium on Helium 3 fuel cells " - Recording found on the Спарта Station archives. Recorded 221 years before current date. Sound quality decays afterwhich and dissolves into static.
<Getting acquainted>
Hello everyone! I'm Cathy and this is my newest roleplay: Forty Miles of Bad Road! We will be playing the scientists and support staff working at Snapta station and the nearby Anti-air battery. We will need to overcome great difficulties in the days ahead. If it sounds like something you're into then feel free to fill out an application form and post it here!

The earrings are nice but overpriced for the tiny size. They are only suitable for 2nd ear piercing. Too late to return them as they are a Xmas gift. The color of the earrings are nice and they do sparkle.Am disappointed on the size as I had expected bigger studs.
By angeleyes
from Lakefield ON
These earrings are very small and if you have long hair don't bother getting them because no one will ever see them. The colour was pretty but I returned them due to the size issue.

I was waiting for the perfect pair of Tanzanite earrings to purchase in order to wear with a Tanzanite ring I purchased some time ago. Finally, upon seeing these earrings, I knew this was the pair I was wanting. Very classy look with good colour and nicely priced. Hoping for a matching pendant to become available...please.

I was very pleased when I opened the box with these earrings. I'm very happy with the color & design and the price. I'm still debating .... should I keep them or give them as a gift as was intended?!! I'm almost positive I'm keeping them.

I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw these earrings! The colour is remarkable, deep and vibrant, good size and lovely design. I wear them often and notice people's eyes are drawn to them constantly when we're chatting. Love them!
