These are great

These have worked wonderfully at taking the edge off of my dog's anxiety. They, combined with stuffed kong toys, have made him much more comfortable when left alone. I like that they aren't a strong medication, and instead use ingredients such as lavender, chamomile and other natural items.
Pros: natural, easy to use, work well
Cons: dusty

Helps to Calm
posted 6 years ago
Our dog is terrible in the car, very afraid and excited. We bought this at a local pet shop for $7.99 for 8 OZ. and we are glad we did. Koda is more relaxed traveling now. It is used five minutes before we go somewhere to help him have a sense of safety and well being. It simulates the pheromones and your pet will find comfort if used in cars, crates, new environments etc.
Pros: lasts a long time
Cons: don't get in eyes

Would you make a good geographer? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!Take the free career test
A Geographer is a specialized type of Scientist. Also known as: GIS Physical Scientist, Geographic Information Systems Physical Scientist, GIS Geographer, Geographic Information Systems Geographer, Physical Geographer.
A geographer is someone who studies the earth and its land, features, and inhabitants. They also examine phenomena such as political or cultural structures as they relate to geography. They study the physical or human geographic characteristics or both of a region, ranging in scale from local to global. Some do fieldwork, which may include travel to foreign countries or remote locations.
A geographer will typically do the following:
Geographers use several technologies in their work, such as GIS, remote sensing, and global positioning systems (GPS). Geographers use GIS to find relationships and trends in geographic data. GIS allows them to present data visually as maps, reports, and charts. For example, a geographer can overlay aerial or satellite images with GIS data, such as population density in a given region, and create computerized maps. They then use the results to advise governments, businesses, and the general public on a variety of issues, such as marketing strategies; planning homes, roads, and landfills; or disaster responses.
Geographers held about 1,600 jobs in 2010, the majority of which were in the federal government. Most others were employed in professional, scientific, and technical services; colleges, universities, and professional schools; and state and local government.
Many geographers work full time during regular business hours, and some must travel to do fieldwork. They often travel to the region they are studying, which sometimes includes foreign countries and remote locations, to gather information and data.
Geographers need a master's degree for most positions. Those with a bachelor's degree may qualify for some entry-level jobs, but these often require previous geography experience or training in using geographic information system (GIS) technology.
Students usually choose to concentrate their courses in physical, human, or regional geography. Most programs include courses in both physical and human geography, statistics or mathematics, remote sensing, and GIS. In addition, courses in business, economics, or real estate are increasingly important as more geographers are employed in private industry.
Those with a bachelor's degree may qualify for some jobs in government, businesses, or nonprofits; some mid-level positions allow candidates to substitute experience or GIS proficiency for an advanced degree. Top research positions usually require a Ph.D. or a master's degree and several years of relevant work experience.
Positions for geography professors require a Ph.D. Most positions require geographers to be proficient in GIS technology.
I've now entered the third and (hopefully) final year of my PhD and time is flying by...
A Geographer will use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Cartography to plot data relative to a physical location, and then develop a map or visual representation of the data, which can help people solve problems and make decisions.
What Are You Going to Do With a Degree in Geography?
Below is a sample of types of positions that Geography graduates have gone on to. Please note: this is not an exhaustive list, there are many careers available.
The five themes of geography are used in social studies and history lessons throughout the school year. You need to be familiar with each theme of geography, provide examples of each, and understand its importance.
Geography has changed from a "declarative" (or fact finding) discipline to an intellectual one dedicated to exploring spatial science.

Seaworth Coffee is inspired by our love of the sea and hand-crafted cold-brewed coffee. We just couldn't find decent cold-brew in Southern California, so we set out on a mission: to create a delicious, top-quality cold brew coffee that would reflect the beautiful sunshine and good-spirit of the Golden State. So through a relentless process of experimenting with different beans, blends, roasting methods, and brewing techniques, we did it. We're passionate about this beautiful, thick liquid, so we decided to give it a name that pays homage to our favorite pastime and the rich surf culture of California.

Abstract: Reduction of dietary sodium by reduction of sodium in foods is a current industry target. Quantitative information on consumer knowledge of sodium and reduction of dietary sodium is limited. The objectives of this study were to characterize consumer knowledge and awareness of sodium and salt reduction in foods. Consumers (n= 489) participated in a quantitative internet survey designed to gather knowledge and attitudes towards dietary sodium, sodium in foods, and health. Eating habits and food consumption characteristics, knowledge of salt and sodium, and interest in health and wellness were probed. Saltiness believe and sodium knowledge indices were calculated based on correct responses to salt levels in food products. Kano analysis was conducted to determine the role of nutrition labels and satisfaction/dissatisfaction of foods. Consumers were aware of the presence of sodium in "salty" foods, and that sodium was part of salt. People who had a family history of certain diseases associated with a higher intake of dietary sodium did not necessarily have more knowledge of the relationship between sodium intake and a specific disease compared to consumers with no family history. Sodium content on the food label panel did not influence consumer dissatisfaction; however, sodium content did not necessarily increase consumer product satisfaction either. The addition of a healthy nutrient (that is, whole grain, fiber) into a current food product was appealing to consumers. For nutrient labeling, a "reduced" claim was more appealing to consumers than a "free" claim for "unhealthy" nutrients such as fat, sodium, and sugar.
Practical Application: This study demonstrated the current state of consumer knowledge on sodium and salt reduction, and consumer perception of the relationship between diets high in sodium and many chronic diseases. Information that may contribute to consumer satisfaction on nutrition panel labeling was also determined.

I am just as big a critic of the U.S. Government's massive spending for questionable projects as anybody, and yet over my years on this earth, I have seen so many people either not using or not having common sense, that I can easily start moving the blame from the government (actually government officials) to just plain, garden variety people. Governments spend money supposedly to help their constituents get to a better place in life, but in reality, they actually spend to keep themselves in power. The government's spending therefore is a given. People's acceptance of this shouldn't be a given unless you can get them to suspend all logic in regard to the particular spending project. Unfortunately, I am beginning to believe it isn't a real struggle, nor a major illusion, to get Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public to throw caution and thinking to the wind and move forward.
Let's look at a logical equation. It is reported that obesity can lead to diabetes and many other serious medical conditions. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe no one would go out of their way to try and get diabetes. Following that line of thinking, one might suspect diabetes would be on the decline as nobody really wants the disease. The most fit city in our country reportedly has 19% of their adults labeled obese. The percentage in our cities grows from there. Simple math will tell you that is 1 out of every 5 adults (approx.) in the best city, and it goes over 1 in every 4 adults in the worst cities. Does my aforementioned premise begin to seem possible?
People, as a whole, realize that seat belts help save their lives in both airplane and automobile accidents. One would surmise that everyone riding in an automobile or airplane would be wearing a seat belt. There is no reason for me to finish this logical exercise as we all know the statistics about accidents, injuries and death and seat belt usage.

So good and easy. Everyone loves. Good to have in the freezer for those "aghh" days.
This is a good recipe. Since I didn't have exactly the ingredients named, I used mushroom spaghetti sauce, added a small can of drained mushrooms, used a 25 ounce bag of meat ravs, and a combo of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. My picky husband loved it so he will get more for supper tonite!
This turned out to be very tasty. I added browned ground turkey to the sauce (I still added water). I bought a 25 oz bag of ravioli so was unable to do 20 raviolis on each layer but it turned out great. Even my picky eater loved it!

- "What keeps people polite on airplane? A shared hatred of the CBS sitcoms they're forced to watch."
— Jack Donaghy, Thirty RockCersei Lannister: We still outnumber them.
Robert Baratheon: Which is the bigger number: Five or one?
Cersei: Five.
Robert: [holding up his fingers] Five. [holding up a fist] One. One army - a real army united behind one leader with one purpose. Our purpose died with the Mad King. Now we've got as many armies as there are men with gold in their purse. And everybody wants something different.
— Game of Thrones, "The Wolf and the Lion"We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction."Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.""There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.""Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Our society has become nothing more than a place of cruelty and lies. News reporters blaming on video games and movies because of the massacres and shootouts, Youtube attention whores like Fred, PewDewPie or Rebecca Black getting their own shows or fame just to cash in on the teen popularity of today, the American culture has become nothing more than a pile of cow turd where everyday we are forced to suffer on surviving a very cruel harsh reality while the talentless hacks of the "oh no you didn't!" generation get all the fame and fortune. Then comes God Bless America, a movie that deserves to be seen by everybody so they can realize how goddamn ignorant our society has become. Powerful, heartbreaking and difficult to watch, God Bless America is a fantastic that explores the theme of society's spiral downfall into stupidity.
The story is about a man named Frank. Frank is tired of the whole American culture trash that has been plaguing in America and wants all of it to be gone. Worst is that he gets fired from his job, her wife divorces him cause the wife is a bitch and he will die from a tumor in just a few days. During an attempt to kill himself, Frank decides to go on a journey to take down the meanest, most racist, ignorant and disgusting people that deserves to be punished. A girl named Roxanne understand his motivation and decides to join his quest as well.
The greatest strength that God Bless America has going for it's the characters and the message that the film tries to tell to it's audience. It's about a man who lives a very hard and crucial everyday life, and it all comes down crashing hard on him, where he just had enough of America's ignorance and decides to show the world of the hard sick truth of our society. Even Roxanne is a great character and sure he can be annoying but we also sympathize with her in the whole teen popularity and high props for saying that Diablo Cody is a cheap hack screenwriter that writes the most retarded and confusing dialogue in any of her movies.
The message of the movie is heartbreaking but still very powerful nonetheless. It tackles with all the issues that is destroying our culture like the news media using fear and lies to make money, conservatives that are destroying the education system of our schools, ignorant people who rather bitch first before seeing a movie, the lack of responsibility as parents that are supposed to help their children, the overrated popularity of reality show cash-grabs like Ink Master and The Joe Shamo Show (whatever the fuck that is), news hosts that make incredible offensive statements on blacks and so on. It's a powerful message that was easily overlooked by audiences that complained that this movie is all about killing celebrities, which is not what the movie is about in the first place. If people actually watched the fucking film instead of watching the trailer and just bitched about it in the forums then they could understand the message that director Bobcat Goldthwait was trying to tell to the audiences.
There's also some great written dialogue scenes thank to the awesome script that Bobcat wrote and it delivers one of the best speeches I've seen in cinema history and has it's share of funny moments in the movie like the scene where Roxy and Frank shoot a bunch of hypocritical Babtist protesters claiming that God hates Jews, fags or even homosexuals, then they capture their leader and throws him off the cliff or the scene where Frank is daydreaming on what would he have done to those teenage douchebag couple in one of the best opening sequences of the movie and after watching the fist 2 minutes of the movie, I felt incredibly satisfied. Watching a whiny teenager getting her baby get blown up in her face by Frank because of her abusive parenting has got to be the most satisfying thing ever.
The acting in the movie is fantastic. Joel Murray delivers a very strong firm performance that manages to deliver a sense of hate and depression that the character goes through in the film. Tara Lynne Barr was also fun as Roxy and she is a very awesome character in the film. Come on, how can you not agree on what she is saying in the movie? What she says is basically all true in our teenage youth and how annoying it is.
All in all, you must see this movie. It's an overlooked gem that was hated by a bunch of dumbfucks that didn't even bother watching this movie in the first place and was ignored by everyone. God Bless America is a very important movie that deserves more recognition and It has to be seen by everybody or for that matter, show them other important movies like Bully and Waiting for Superman, 2 beautifully well made documentaries that deal with the issues of bullying in our schools and the failure of the education system that is failing our students to graduate to other and better schools.
It makes me sad that great movies like this get overlooked a lot cause the audiences don't want anything new or original. They just want to see some movie that's hip or cool or popular, nobody cares for deep stories with good messages or great characters, they just want shit. God Bless America is a movie that wants it's society to wake up and learn from their ignorance that has been plaguing them down through all these years.
Just please go see this movie. You wont regret it.

What do you mean that Adam tried to "fit it"....as though a gay person can not really be friends with straight people? Adam did not only make friends with the other idol contestants, he also helped them along the way so they would be successful too. Your blurb about Adam is offensive. Of course, Adam will get the last laugh as his talent will never just fit it....he's the only real star AI will ever make.
What on earth are you talking about regarding Adam? He tried to "fit in" What?!! He "announced himself as a full-fledged rock star" No...HE did not "announce himself" as anything! Adam introduced himself to the world when he appeared on American Idol.....It was his fans and music insiders such as; Rob Cavello, Brian May, Ryan Tedder, P!nk, Katy Perry, Linda Perry, Max Martin, 98% of all music critics covering the Idol Summer Tour, and many more (can't possibly think of them all right now) that declared him a "full-fledged" star!!!!!
Now write a retraction......and you'll be forgiven.
Yeah, what's with the snarkiness about Adam? Classier people than you consider him to be the real deal.
Wierd phrasing on Lambert.
"Trying to fit in" what lol?
"Tried to stand out with his voice" lol?
His voice stood out.
There's a sucker born every minute!
The whole Colorado State Police force got con by an amateur con man.
He's a liar.
I'd bet my life savings on it.
I put the odds 50 to 1
he set this whole thing up as a publicity stunt.
You can fool all the people some of the time,
and some of the people all the time,
but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Snarky indeed...
The Lambert fans are out. I can't believe that many Lambert fans read the WSJ, so they must be a product of Google alerts.
Anyhow, Hudson's family wasn't "allegedly murdered." They were murdered, plain and simple. The only thing alleged is that the killer is her brother-in-law; when he's convicted, it won't be alleged any more. But the family was **quite definitely** murdered.
I suppose not all journalist are observant. This is why so many intelligent, inquisitive readers who appreciate current EVENTS do not read WSJ. Adam Lambert is a MAJOR EVENT in the World, his voice may actually take us to new heights! But, some do not have ears to hear, nor eyes to see ~ observe, listen, then you can write about genius and beauty, equality, and what's NEWS.

I am having some issues with twenty eleven.
I have created a page template using a child theme for one page that requires no side bar.
The other pages in our theme all require the sidebar and this works fine based on the layout option I have selected - content on the left.
The page layout option (content on the left) is overriding the page template I have created and it is still adding a side bar to the page that I would like to display with no sidebar.
Is there a set work around for creating new page templates in the twenty eleven theme?

text: I am writing my senior thesis on communication networks and this question sort of popped into my head: What determines what frequencies you can use in a landline connection? (e.g. say I have a wire connecting point A to B to send a bunch of signals, what prevents me from using the entire bandwidth from 1 hz to 1 ghz and beyond?) In wireless networks I guess some frequencies have lower attenuation over long distances than others due to the composition of atmosphere or objects in between points A & B that absorb. different frequencies. Also you don't want two people to have their cellphones use the exact same carrier in the same zone or you won't be able to separate it out at the receiver. However how do these limitations apply if you have a landline, you couldn't possibly be interfering with other landlines....? and how does the attenuation vary depending on whether the wire is copper, zinc etc. on frequency? If I don't care about equipment complexity, what limits me from using my phone line to transmit at ridiculous data speeds for everything from internet to voice because I can use all the bandwidth possible? Thanks

Bristol residents should welcome a blanket statement from the selectboard at its last meeting that encouraged citizen participation at all public meetings within the town, and apologized to one resident who was recently denied an opportunity to speak at a recent planning commission meeting.

Here's a political question to ponder. In a representative democracy, should a public board follow 'majority rule' or what might be called 'plurality rule'?
More specifically, if town residents vote 60 percent to 40 percent against locating a gravel pit near town, should the governing body write rules that sort of prohibit the pit but allow some gravel extraction in a smaller corner of the proposed pit — taking the stated stance that "not everyone gets what they want," so the board splits the difference?
Two months after my most recent move — and sick of fishing CDs out of packing boxes — I had to face the inevitable: It was time to haul my music collection out of the boxes and organize it onto the shelves.
With several hundred CDs to sort through, the first choice for a music nerd is whether to group everything together alphabetically or to separate the music by genres.
Vermont's 2012 presidential primary will be held on Town Meeting Day, Tuesday, March 6. The Democratic primary will be uneventful, with President Obama running unopposed for renomination. The results of the Republican primary will determine how the state's delegation to the Republican National Convention, which will be held in Tampa in late August, will be divided among the candidates.
BRISTOL — Bristol Police Chief Kevin Gibbs was called out at 1 a.m. on Nov. 21 to deal with a reported stabbing on North Street. When he arrived, he found that no stabbing had occurred, but there had been a physical dispute.
VERGENNES — Vergennes police are looking into two recent thefts, one of about $300 in cash and one of about $300 of metal.
On Nov. 28 police were told by a shopper at Shaw's Supermarket that he had left an envelope with cash in it in a shopping cart. When he realized his mistake and returned for the envelope, he found it contained $300 less than he expected.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police responded to the scene of a car-tree collision near North Forty Lane on Sunday, Dec. 4. Police said Kathy L. Grace, 44, of Middlebury was northbound on Case Street a little before 10 a.m. when for an unknown reason, the vehicle traveled across the southbound lane and struck a tree.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police and Vermont Fish and Wildlife personnel last Friday evening responded to New Haven for an incident in which three vehicles struck two deer on Route 7.
Trooper Kaitlyn Armstrong and Game Warden George Scribner reported that two deer came bounding into traffic between two cars and a truck on Route 7 between the southern entrance to Dog Team Road and the New Haven River at around 5:20 p.m. on Dec. 2.

eBay auctioneers unite! A new eBay app just became available on the Mac App Store to help you search for bargains.
The eBay app (free) doesn't have seller capabilities, so if you're planning on making your first billion by selling stuff online, you'll still need to get another app like GarageSale or stick to using the horrific eBay website. The eBay app has very few reviews so far on the App Store, most of which are griping about the inability to sell items through the app.
The app is very useful for searching, saving searches, and watching auctions, and takes up very little real estate on your Mac desktop. I found it to be quick in terms of response time, much faster than what I usually see when using the eBay website with Safari.
The watch list under the My eBay tab in the app is quite interesting, as it updates about every five seconds and displays last minute bid changes without needing to manually refresh. If you're a Mac-owning fan of eBay and love to pick up bargains online, the eBay app is definitely worth the download.

One curiosity is that the vote of candidates claiming to be socialist hasn't varied much since 2005.

In 2005 we were the only such candidate. We got 240 votes.

In 2010 there was us and Workers Power. We got 143 and they got 109 (a total of 252)

This time there was us and Left Unity. We got 82 and they got 188 (a total of 260).

Of course we don't regard either Workers Power or Left Unity as really standing for socialism but we can't deny that some people regard, and treat, all three of us as part of the "far left".

It also confirms something that we have noticed before that when we (proposing the maximum programme only of socialism) come up against others (claiming to be socialists and proposing vote-catching reforms) clash, about a third of the "far left" vote choose to vote for socialism.

I hadn't realised that the Tories had such an obsession about the SNP.

Here's what a leaflet, for just a local council by-election, in Wandsworth says: either we have a Conservative government
Or we have a Labour/Scottish Nationalist Government, taxing London and harming Britain.
But the prize for this sort of thing goes to Tory leaflet for Kingston & Surbiton. Headed "SNP puts Miliband in Downing Street. Your vote can stop this", it is entirely devoted to the subject and says:

A Vote for the Lib Dems will help Ed Miliband and the SNP take us back to square one.
I suppose they think this will get them votes from people who don't like the Scots.

Anyway, the SNP is just another capitalist party, whose aim is not so much independence, but to gain some strength to bargain for a bigger grant for the Scottish regional administration from the central givernment. Just the same as the Democratic Unionist Party is trying to do for Northern Ireland. Come to think of it, you could just as (il)logically argue that a vote for the Tories will be help the Paisleyites get their way -- though they might decide to support a minority Labour government instead if it offer more money. Who knows?

The Prince's Ward by-election Hustings took place on Thursday 30 April 2015 in St Anselm's Church, Kennington Cross. Prince's Ward is in the north of Lambeth borough, comprising mainly Vauxhall and Kennington. The most interesting thing about council by-elections and their hustings is seeing capitalism in a microcosm and its effects on people at the local level in Lambeth with regards to housing, libraries and schools. There was a small demo outside the hustings before it began – local community activists carrying a 'Hands Off Durning Library' banner.

Around 50 people turned out for the hustings and all 6 candidates were there: Danny Lambert, the Socialist Party candidate, Kingsley Abrams (Left Unity-TUSC), Labour, Lib-Dems, Green and Tory. Danny stood (all the other candidates sat down for their speeches/answers as they had nothing to be excited about to stand up) and gave his 2 minutes opening which was a concise exposition of the Socialist case.

The Green Party had some support at the hustings but their candidate was weak. The point of the Greens seems to be what Caroline Lucas said on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, as a group that puts political pressure on Labour from the left. There was no support for the Lib-Dems and I can't recall a single thing he said. The Tory candidate was personable and probably right when he said 'I'm the only candidate here who can beat Labour' but he had no support there.

The Labour candidate is a shoe-in to win Prince's Ward, she had lots of support there. But what a candidate! Mealy-mouthed, charmless, professional Blairite career politician in the making, a product of the Vauxhall Labour Party Machine. I thought of Danny's observation 'anyone who wants to be a politician is the last person you'd want'. The Vauxhall Labour MP Kate Hoey was in the audience.

Local Lambeth issues dominated the hustings - 'estate regeneration' or really the housing crisis in particular Knights Walk, threatened closure of Durning Library, the need for expansion of the Archbishop Sumner School. Lambeth Labour Council got in the neck from 4 of the candidates, the Labour could not stick the boot too much! Even Danny had to agree that Lambeth Council data is not to be trusted. Another local issue that has recently developed is the future of the Royal Vauxhall Tavern future which has been bought by a property developer. The LGBT community and continuing existence of the RVT supported by all candidates, although Danny pointed out the inevitability of things like this happening when we live in an economic system where profit comes before people's needs.

If I was one of the community activists at the hustings then my vote would go to Kingsley Abrams of Left Unity-TUSC. He had some support at the hustings, and was a very capable speaker. He should be, as he is a professional local politician, many years experience as a Merton Labour councillor and Lambeth Labour councillor. His refrain was 'I will never vote for cuts' but he sometimes spoke of himself in the third person using his forename! 'Kingsley will never vote for cuts!' He never once mentioned the word 'socialism' although even Steve Nally, Trotskyite TUSC candidate at other hustings doesn't either. Abrams is also LU– TUSC parliamentary candidate in Southwark against Lib Dem Simon Hughes. Abrams is unusual in that he is not a Trotskyite and is standing for TUSC. He is Labour left. He praised the so-called 'independence' of Vauxhall Labour MP Kate Hoey who was in attendance for part of the hustings. I spoke with Simon Hardy (Vauxhall Left Unity candidate) in Brixton last Saturday, and he said LU were there to push Labour to the 'left'. So that is the point of Left Unity.

Abrams 'pledges' were music to the ears of the local activists involved in the Knights Walk, Durning Library, Archbishop Sumner School campaigns. He got passionate (although he did not stand up!) talking about 'regeneration' means 'social cleansing', it is a a disgrace, he proposed rent caps, scrapping the right to buy, scrapping the bedroom tax (the only time it was mentioned – probably because of its unpopularity even a Labour government will scrap it if elected on 7 May)

Our socialist Iranian comrade pointed out to the hustings there were 1 million empty homes, and that 'housing should be held in common'. On a question of working with local faith communities, Danny had the best answer when he spoke about the 'human community', although I feared he was going to do Marx on religion but really that was me wanting to do a socialist exposition on 'religion' along the lines of Feuerbach and Marx !

The hustings switched then to a quasi-Anglican caring capitalism feel when the Vicar's curate made a statement on the plight of Carers in the borough who are paid below minimum wage, are on zero hours contracts, and not paid travel expenses for travelling between clients. Abrams again gave his support as a trade unionist for UNITE, and representing TUSC and Left Unity, proposing £10 minimum wage, and the scrapping of zero hours contracts. I gasped inwardly when the Labour candidate said the minimum wage of £9.15 was a 'reasonable wage' ! although nobody at the hustings felt that the Labour candidate had just revealed her contempt for working people.

Danny pointed out that the Curate had nicely put into words an indictment of capitalism.

5 of the candidates want a more 'caring', 'compassionate capitalism', believe capitalism can be reformed to be better although Danny pointed out several times that capitalism cannot be made to work in the interests of working people.

To round off a peculiar hustings the Tory candidate had the best line right at the end of the hustings when he said 'Finally, what is the use of words. Let us be seen together in Action' which clinched the finale, and was taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses.

The Tories have produced a glossy A3 leaflet for the by-election despite not having a chance. The other discarded leaflets found were general election ones for Labour, the Tories and Left Unity as well as one of ours (for our archives). There's going to be a local by-election hustings on Friday 1 May, in St Anselm's Church in Kennington,but what a few for the general election?Londonsocialisthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048538.post-24420298032290190272015-04-10T09:22:00.002+00:002015-04-10T09:22:43.474+00:00Prince's ward by-election: the runnersNominations closed yesterday at 12 noon. There are 6 candidates: Labour, Green, LibDem, Tory, us and "Left Unity -- Trade Unionists and Socialists". No UKIP (no Elizabeth Jones, presumably she's busy trying to get elected MP for Dartford). It's a bit surprising that the Electoral Commission have allowed a candidate to stand as "Trade Unionists and Socialists" as they have refused to allow us to register "The Socialist Party" as a variant of our name on the grounds that this could cause confusion with "other socialist parties". In that case, so should "Trade Unionists and Socialists" but I suppose "Left Unity" in the name is the let-out. In order words, Kingsley Abrams is basically standing for Left Unity.

Since the result of the general election in Vauxhall is a foregone conclusion -- a walk- over for the outgoing MP Kate Hoey -- this by-election could be the centre of political interest in constituency: ex-Labour councillor trying to get back on the council, splitting the Labour vote and letting in the Greens or even, though hardly a realistic possibility, the LibDems (who once held the ward), etc, etc.Londonsocialisthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048538.post-43107074006414843962015-04-05T21:21:00.000+00:002015-04-05T21:33:07.309+00:00More on Prince's ward by-electionWe will be standing a candidate, Danny Lambert, who is also standing in the General Election for Vauxhall.

Waleed Ghani of the newly reformed Whig Party agreed but suggested dates in early March that were not practical and unfortunately he is too busy in April to debate with the Socialist Party. We were looking forward to debating topical subjects such as whether to impeach Prime Minister Robert Walpole, or should the 1832 Great Reform Act have extended the franchise to the working class or even was the South Sea Bubble the Wall Street Crash or 2008 financial crisis of its day?

The Green Party candidate Gulnar Hasnain rejected the call for a debate by saying: "I'm sure we would have a very interesting discussion and would share common ground but during the election period I need to be committed to public hustings and not any organised by political parties."

The Pirate Party candidate Mark Chapman also rejected the call for a debate by saying: "In principle I am in favour of anything which increases public engagement and understanding, and am very willing to put myself forward for any debate or hustings which you, or anyone else, is willing to organise. My only comment would be that it should be seen to be open and transparent, and in my opinion all confirmed candidates should be invited (even if some may choose not to accept)."

We expect to meet up with the above candidates at hustings to be organised in the Vauxhall constituency.Vauxhall Socialisthttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048538.post-60762399158761550392015-03-02T10:54:00.004+00:002015-03-02T10:54:50.452+00:00Acting globallyReceived a request for an organisation calling itself Simpol (Simultaneous Policy) asking to sign a pledge of theirs. Here's our reply:

Thank you for your email, and request to sign up to your Simpol principles. I'm afraid I cannot.

Whilst the Socialist Party shares your general principles of democracy, co-operation and worldwide action, we see the problems facing the world as stemming from the ownership of the wealth of the world by a privileged class. We do not think the world's problems can be solved until the wealth of the world is taken into the common and direct democratic ownership of the whole of humanity.

Specifically, we think this requires a self-conscious and active movement of people working together, worldwide, and we cannot allow this movement to be divided into nation states or rely on Governments to help us.

If you would like to know more about the World Socialist Movement, please do take a look at our website at www.worldsocialism.org

Your for World Socialism,

Bill Martin (Socialist Party Candidate, Islington North).

Lambeth Town Hall 25 FebruaryWe distributed a leaflet announcing our candidate Danny Lambert for the Vauxhall constituency to people on Acre Lane and Brixton Hill as well as to about 100 trade unionists protesting against Lambeth Council cuts yesterday. The trade unionists were representing unions such as UNISON, GMB, and campaigns such as Save Our Schools, Save Our Libraries in Lambeth Borough. Also people from Stand Up to Racism and Fascism were there. The Green Party was in evidence calling for Save Lambeth Libraries. The Labour parliamentary candidate for Epsom and Ewell spoke at the demo as did the ex Lambeth Labour Councillor Kingsley Abrahams who was basically kicked out of the Lambeth Labour Party because he would not vote for cuts.

But it was a TUSC (Trade Union and Socialist Coalition) show. The TUSC parliamentary candidates Unjum Mirza (Streatham) and Steve Nally (Dulwich and West Norwood) spoke at the rally. The large TUSC banner was in evidence. Steve Nally usually stands in Vauxhall for TUSC but has been moved away so that he doesn't oppose the Labour MP Kate Hoey who is a member of the RMT trade union Parliamentary group (RMT are a funder of the TUSC). TUSC are a front for the Trotskyite SPEW political party, of which Steve Nally is a member, as is the UNISON rep who spoke at the protest yesterday. TUSC are also supported by rival trots the SWP. TUSC/SWP shared a stall at the protest. The SWP locally are holding meetings in Brixton in March on Syriza, Climate Change and Selma to Ferguson.

I saw a Left Unity supporter who are standing a candidate in Vauxhall where we are standing.

Will TUSC/SWP supporters in Vauxhall vote for rival trots Workers' Power who are essentially Left Unity in Lambeth?

For the record the SWP endorsed former Lambeth Labour council leader Steve Reed at the Croydon North by-election in 2012 which is staggering considering for years the SWP in its front organisation Defend Council Housing was bitterly opposed to Lambeth Council housing policies under the leadership of Reed!

TUSC's Steve Nally said to those gathered outside Lambeth Town Hall that we should "look to Greece" (ie Syriza) for inspiration which is strange considering the Syriza government has made a deal with the Eurozone and is going to continue with austerity economics when it was elected on an anti-austerity platform...

Their candidate here is Simon Hardy, formerly of Workers Power, the Trotskyist group who stood in Vauxhall in the last general election in 2010 (and got less votes than us). He has moved on from orthodox Trotskyism but still seems to have a soft spot for Lenin.

Meanwhile the Green Party candidate in Vauxhall in 2010, Joseph Healy ,has also joined Left Unity and is calling on people to vote for Simon Hardy rather than for his successor as Green Party candidate, Gulnar Hasnain.

TUSC is not standing as the sitting Labour MP, Kate Hoey, is a member of the RMT Parliamentary Group and TUSC don't want to alienate RMT. Steve Nally, who we've come across in various local by-elections in Lambeth, has been shunted to the other side of Brixton High Road to contest Dulwich and West Norwood for TUSC.Londonsocialisthttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048538.post-67364015789771964762015-02-13T16:18:00.001+00:002015-02-13T16:49:48.405+00:00After the Pirates the WhigsTalk about back to the 18th century but the Whig Party has been revived and will be standing in Vauxhall. Their candidate will be Waleed Ghani. More on the revived Whig Party here.

For those who don't remember their school history, in the days before the extension of the vote to the industrial and urban midddle class in 1832, the Whigs were the least reactionary section of the landowning ruling class as opposed to their more reactionary section, the Tories. They later became absorbed into the old Liberal Party.

Not sure what we could debate with them. Perhaps: That the 1832 Reform Act should have extended the franchise to the working class? Or: Were the Chartists wrong demonstrate on Kennington Common in 1848 to demand One Man, One Vote?

William Morris had something to say about them (he didn't think much of them). Or, to hear it read, go to:

Dear Friend,

 an election must be coming. Jeremy Corbyn has been appearing in print around the shop calling for rent controls as a means of curbing the housing crisis. Rent controls, though, have never worked, and never will. They are an attempt to fix the market, and market rates will out, with landlords either letting their stock go to wreck or withdrawing from the market to protect their profit rates.

 The only solution to the housing crisis is to build enough homes for all; but the market is patently failing to do this, and never will. If there were enough homes for all, how could a landlord collect rent?

 No one can help taking up space, or needing shelter, and no-one should have it denied them because of market whims. Just as no-one can help falling ill, and should not have health care denied them because of market whims. We need housing free at the point of use.

 The only way we can get this is through the common ownership of the wealth of the world. Anything less will always see profit (and rents) put before people's need.

 Bill Martin Socialist Party Parliamentary Candidate for Islington North.

In the Islington Gazette no online letters page, but there is an e-edition here.firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048538.post-58808806101792902222015-01-31T12:01:00.000+00:002015-01-31T12:02:50.125+00:00A flurry of lettersSo, I promised letters (I think). Here goes

In the Islington Tribune I also sent one to the Morning Star, that appears not to have been published. Text below:
Dear Friend, the current debate about "splitting the vote" in Croydon is missing the point. If people are in organisations so similar that they are robbing each other's votes, then they should become one party. The fact that they are not one party suggests they are putting forward different policies and different choices for the electorate, and should have no shame in standing their ground. As Eugene Debbs said: "It is better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it." The Socialist Party will be standing in ten seats, to put forward the case for the abolition of the wages system, and will stand irrespective of whoever else puts themselves forward in those seats.
I wonder why they didn't publish that one?

Anyway, another letter has been sent, this morning, to Islington Gazette, this time attacking Jeremy Corbyn, on rent controls. Updates when/if it appears. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048538.post-23020315172878787302015-01-28T11:39:00.001+00:002015-01-28T11:39:33.743+00:00So, while other parties gear up for the long campaign, we chug to the starting line. Activity so far this week: two letters to the press (I'll put them up here once I know whether they've been published or not). At the end of last week I got some interview practice with a student journalist (who was very good at lobbing soft open questions my way). I explained how often we get stitched up by the media. The debacle of the leaders debates shows what a mess it is, rather than being a tool to assist candidates putting their case forward, the media is a tool of power that shapes the debate, and gets to select who speaks. There's not a shortage of air time, over the next hundred days press national and local will not be short of parties to give ten minutes to, surely? We'll have to find a way to reach as many people as we can. Interestingly the student found out about us from the wikipedia article on Islington North (where I'm contesting my first Parliamentary seat). I know Wikipedia isn't for advertising, but, still. But email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048538.post-56011856320219244832015-01-24T10:34:00.000+00:002015-01-24T21:35:03.190+00:00Us and the General ElectionAs we can't avoid knowing, there will be a general election on Thursday 7 May. We'll be standing two candidates in London (and another 8 elsewhere in the country).

The two constituencies are: Islington North and Vauxhall where our candidates will be, respectively, Bill Martin and Danny Lambert.

West London branch will be organising our campaign in the two Oxford seats (just up the M40 from west London).

A meeting has been fixed for Thursday 12 February at 7pm in our offices at 52 Clapham High Street, SW4 7UN (nearest tube: Clapham North; nearest overground: Clapham High Street) to form a committee to help organise the campaign in Vauxhall.

The Independent candidate was standing to protest against the Labour council's plan to sell off to developers land in the area cutrrently used for sheltered accommodation for the elderly

The reason for this by-election, so soon after the full council election in May, is given here.

We will continue to contest local by-elections, especially in the Vauxhall parliamentary constituency.

This method underestimates the number supporting parties which put up only one candidate (in our words, us, TUSC and UKIP), but it is unclear how this could be worked out. Anyway, TUSC, UKIP and us will have more support than the Lambeth website figures suggest, perhaps twice as much.

This means that UKIP has the support of about 5% of those who bothered to vote in the two wards they stood in (Ferndale and Clapham Town). Not much compared with elsewhere. Commentators have been noting that UKIP is not doing so well in London. In fact, when you look at the composition of the population in London, especially central London, you wonder why UKIP thinks it has any chance in the inner London boroughs. Here for instance are the 2011 census statistics for Ferndale ward:

38.7% White British
20.9% Other White
10.8% Black African
9.9% Black caribbean
5.0% Black other

Of course these are unscientific categories and measure only what people classify themselves as when given a limited number of choices and told they must choose one, but, given that most "Other White" will be EU migrants, UKIP's on to a hiding in places like this, just as their parent group, the Tories, have been.

The results for the three wards we contested can be found here:

Clapham Town

Ferndale

Larkhall

The results in the two wards we contested both times (Ferndale and Larkhall) are almost exactly the same as last time in 2010.

The new council will be completely dominated by Labour with 50 seats to 3 for the Tories and 1 for the Greens.The Liberals have been excluded from being a serious contender for council seats in the future, with the Greens taking their place as the main opposition to Labour. UKIP got nowhere (look at their result in Ferndale) and, although TUSC got more votes than us in the two wards we both stood in, in the other wards they contested they didn't do much better than we would have done.
