Also, Satuday marks the 40th anniversary release of The Clash, London Calling. It’s one of my top 5s.
London Calling has since been considered by many critics to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time,[67] including AllMusic’s Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who said that it sounded more purposeful than “most albums, let alone double albums”.[21] In Christgau’s Record Guide: The ’80s (1990), Christgau called it the best double album since the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St. (1972) and said it expanded upon, rather than compromised, the Clash’s driving guitar sound in a “warm, angry, and thoughtful, confident, melodic, and hard-rocking” showcase of their musical abilities.[60] According to the English music writer Dave Thompson, London Calling established the Clash as more than “a simple punk band” with a “potent” album of neurotic post-punk, despite its amalgam of disparate and occasionally disjointed musical influences.[68] Don McLeese from the Chicago Sun-Times regarded it as their best album and “punk’s finest hour”, as it found the band broadening their artistry without compromising their original vigor and immediacy.[59] PopMatters critic Sal Ciolfi called it a “big, loud, beautiful collection of hurt, anger, restless thought, and above all hope” that still sounds “relevant and vibrant”.[25] In a review of its 25th anniversary reissue, Uncut wrote that the songs and characters in the lyrics cross-referenced each other because of the album’s exceptional sequencing, adding that “The Vanilla Tapes” bonus disc enhanced what was already a “masterpiece”.[69]
According to Acclaimed Music, London Calling is the sixth most highly ranked record on critics’ lists of the all-time greatest albums.[70] In 1987, Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times named it the fourth-best album of the previous 10 years and said, while the Clash’s debut was a punk masterpiece, London Calling marked the genre’s “coming of age” as the band led the way into “fertile post-punk territory”.[71] In 1989, Rolling Stone ranked the 1980 American release as the best album of the 1980s.[72] In the 1994 All Time Top 1000 Albums, Colin Larkin named it the second-greatest punk album;[73] it was also voted number 37 in Larkin’s All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).[74] In 1999, Q magazine named London Calling the fourth-greatest British album of all time,[75] and wrote that it is “the best Clash album and therefore among the very best albums ever recorded”.[63] The magazine later ranked it 20th on its list of the 100 Greatest Albums Ever.[76] It has also been ranked as the sixth-greatest album of the 1970s by NME,[77] and the second-best in a similar list by Pitchfork,[78] whose reviewer Amanda Petrusich said that it was the Clash’s “creative apex” as a “rock band” rather than as a punk band.[79] In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it eighth on their list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,[4] maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list.[80] Entertainment Weekly’s Tom Sinclair declared it the “Best Album of All Time” in his headline for a 2004 article on the album.[81] In 2007, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, a collection of recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance.[82] In 2009, the album was included in the BBC Radio 1 Masterpieces Series, denoting one of the most influential albums of all time.[83]

The coming Melbourne Thrid Test beginning on News Year’ s day is going to ‘interesting!
The current pitch was so substandard that a Sheffield Shield match between Australian State sides had to be called because several batsmen were injured with quick balls hitting cracks and them them at 140 KPH!
The MCG groundsmen have said that they will provide a ‘drop in’ pitch that will be flat and true, but I’m yet to be convinced!
Interesting times as the Black Caps (Kiwis) have just seen off England in a two Test series with an innings win and a drawn game that didn’t go the distance due to weather.

Chinese criminal gangs spreading African swine fever to force farmers to sell pigs cheaply so they can profit
Report by state media says some offenders are leaving infected feed in sties and are even using drones to spread contamination
Pork prices have spiked as a result of the disease and gangs can profit by getting around controls to smuggle meat across provincial boundaries
The profit margin can be as much as 1,000 yuan (US$143) per pig, so dealers have been stockpiling funds for bulk purchases.
“However many pigs you have, we are taking them all,” the story quoted a dealer as saying.
In the southwestern province of Yunnan alone, the authorities have already intercepted 10,000 live pigs, some infected with the virus, that were destined for other provinces.
The report said police believed that one gang had smuggled 4,000 pigs from the province in one day.

Yeah, time to throw them all out
Chinese embassy officials – with their wives in the car – literally barged onto a military base at Norfolk Virginia – got intercepted and thrown off – and have been expelled. The article doesn’t name the base, but says it’s home to Special Ops forces.
The Chinese officials and their wives drove up to a checkpoint for entry to the base, said people briefed on the episode. A guard, realizing they did not have permission to enter, told them to go through the gate, turn around and exit the base, which is common procedure in such situations.
But the Chinese officials instead continued on to the base, according to those familiar with the incident. After the fire trucks blocked them, the Chinese officials indicated that they did not understand the guard’s English instructions, and had simply gotten lost, according to people briefed on the matter.
American officials said they were skeptical that the intruders made an innocent error and dismissed the idea that their English was insufficient to understand the initial order to leave.
It is not clear what they were trying to do on the base, but some American officials said they believed it was to test the security at the installation, according to a person briefed on the matter. Had the Chinese officials made it onto the base without being stopped, the embassy could have dispatched a more senior intelligence officer to enter the base, the theory goes.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry and Chinese Embassy in Washington did not reply to requests for comment about the episode. Two associates of Chinese Embassy officials said they were told that the expelled officials were on a sightseeing tour when they accidentally drove onto the base.
This was in September

@ For decades, counterintelligence officials have tried to pinpoint embassy or consulate employees with diplomatic cover who are spies and assign officers to follow some of them. >eaglesoars:
When the Soviets were operating in NZ during the Cold War they were restricted to specific routes around the country. They were also followed on a regular basis to identify ‘who’s who in the zoo’ by CI personnel. Their movements mirrored those in effect against Western diplomatic staff in Russia. Occasionally the Russians went off reservation. I know as I drove their diplomatically plated big black Mercedes on occasion….. just for fun. No speeding tickets when that happened! They were tracked as well on occasion by the guy sitting beside them! 🙂 HEH! They didn’t get away with much and they led the CI teams to most of their western based agents of influence as well as operational ‘under diplomatic cover’ agents.
Good times

@ Aussie Infidel:
That’s true here also. It used to be w/in 50 miles of wherever their embassy is, I don’t know if that’s still the limit. They’ve got – or had – their ‘dachas’ on the Eastern shore that Obama kicked them out of, and that’s more that 50 miles from D.C., I think.

Well, a few weeks ago I had a voice conversation with a friend, face to face about slow cookers. Yep, that is why I do not have many real life ( or Internet friends ) because I am boring.
Anyway my friend mentioned a retail outlet that always sold things at a discount, stacked coupons etc.
My friend said the name of the store, and as I do not do much shopping I took what my friend said as the name of the store was Coles.
That evening, and for days after I was getting adverts in my Hotmail and on websites for Kohl’s A store I had never visited, Googled or even knew about.
Strange…
Yesterday I face to face met the same person and one topic that came up was the cost of Insulin for animals. I never Googled Insulin but now I am seeing advertisements for Insulin in both my Hotmail and on websites.
Yeah, I am fucking crazy, but not crazy enough to think my phone is listening to me but I am wondering if I am getting ads targeted at me because of what other contacts on social media are searching for?
If so, whoever on my contact list that is searching for yoga pants and leggings

That is where the militia resolution is in place. County Administrator Erc Young laid out their thought process: “Our position is that Article I, Section 13, of the Constitution of Virginia reserves the right to ‘order’ militia to the localities,” Young said. “Therefore, counties, not the state, determine what types of arms may be carried in their territory and by whom. So, we are ‘ordering’ the militia by making sure everyone can own a weapon.”
If the Governor or any other State entity tires to remove their Sheriff from office for disobeying unjust laws, they’ll face a legally assembled group of armed citizens standing against them.
The militia ordinance also calls for concealed weapons training for any county resident that is eligible to own a gun. Further, it called for the local public school to begin including firearm safety classes.
