I remember you mentioning this awhile back Ancient Wolf, should be a good series. Just a reminder to any others that might want to watch it.
Hatfields & McCoys - Premieres
Memorial Day at 9/8c
It’s the true American story of a legendary family feud—one that spanned decades and nearly launched a war between Kentucky and West Virginia.
Hatfields & McCoys, a three-part miniseries, showcases an all-star cast led by Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton. It chronicles a clash of clans that inspired passion, vengeance, courage, sacrifice, crimes and accusations, while forever transforming the two families and the region they lived in.
The Hatfield-McCoy saga begins with Devil Anse Hatfield (Costner) and Randall McCoy (Paxton).
Close friends and comrades until near the end of the Civil War, they return to their neighboring homes—Hatfield in West Virginia, McCoy just across the Tug River border in Kentucky—to increasing tensions, misunderstandings and resentments that soon explode into all-out warfare between their families. As hostilities grow, friends, neighbors and outside forces join the fight, bringing the two states to the brink of another civil war.

My understanding of the Historical background was that when Virginia left the Union, West Virgina left Virginia and remained with the Union and the Hatfields were largely Unionists (but not all). Kentucky being a border state, formed regiments for both sides with much of Eastern Kentucky being pro-Confederate. Again much division even among the McCoy family and the border feud was just more or less a continuation of the prior Civil hostilities and the pig in the garden just fanned the already existing flames.
Kentucky had the most divided loyalities of all states and being a border state with many access points via the rivers, Abraham Lincoln was quoted as having said "I would hope to have GOD on my side, but I must have Kentucky. If I lose Kentucky, I lose the War".

Got the smoker seasoned and ready to begin some ribs for this afternoon.

While reading the world news I seen this headline and thought about the sewer trolls and bet they would love to go join him. lol
Japanese Artist Serves Up Own Cooked Genitals
(Newser)– A Japanese artist recently cooked and served up his own genitals for diners at $250 a plate—to raise awareness about sexual minorities and pay for his hospital bills, the AFP reports. Mao Sugiyama, who calls himself asexual, had his private parts removed this spring and kept them frozen until the May 13 culinary event.
Participants apparently weren't disappointed: Some even asked the 22-year-old when he'll be doing it again.
"But there is only one set of male organ," Sugiyama tweeted. "Unfortunately, I have no plan for the next time." Photos of the meal are available at Calorie Lab, but view them at your own risk; at least Sugiyama served his privates up with mushrooms and a parsley garnish. Tokyo police say they knew all about it, but took no action because cannibalism remains legal in Japan. "It does not violate any detailed rules," an officer said. "There is nothing to take action about."

I will tosss it a hairy doughball and see if it bites like a carp.

Revealed: Hundreds of words to avoid using online if you don't want the government spying on you (and they include 'pork','cloud' and 'Mexico')

Department of Homeland Security forced to release list following freedom of information request
Agency insists it only looks for evidence of genuine threats to the U.S. and not for signs of general dissent

The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.

The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as 'attack','Al Qaeda','terrorism' and 'dirty bomb' alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like 'pork','cloud','team' and 'Mexico'.

Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats.

Like there was any ever doubt that you aren't being monitored on the world wide web. Watch what you say or you could land on the list and get paid a visit by Homeland Security.

Sounds like good ribs you whip up. I also used apple juice in a pan when using indirect heat on the grill, but the Weber smoker sure makes it easier than the grill to maintain that consistant temp. I need some applechips, but will run with hickory this time.
