Hatfield-McCoy Feud 75 Years Old Today

Hatfield-McCoy Feud 75 Years Old Today
By Shirley Donnelly
Seventy-five years ago today was the beginning of some terrible times along the Tug River. At that time, what is now Mingo County was a part of Logan, home of the Hatfields. Across the Tug is Pike County, home of the McCoys.
Aug. 7, 1882, fell on a Monday and they were having an election in Kentucky. If you are up on the history of Kentucky you are well acquainted with the fact that an election in Kentucky is an occasion on which anything can happen - and usually does. They were voting that day on the usual state and county offices and on whether to increase the school tax. Such elections were days when the men of the mountains of Kentucky not only looked on the wine when it is red but maintained close communion with the mule when it is white.
Many are the tales one might tell about that election of three- quarters of a century ago but only one must suffice for today. On Blackberry Creek, a tributary of the Tug, the polls were open at sunrise. This particular polling place was on Hatfield Branch, a small run that empties into Blackberry just above Mateways, W.Va. Jerry Hatfield's home was there.
Across Turkey Foot Ridge on Blackberry Fork of Pond Creek stood the cabin of Randolph McCoy, who had a bunch of bad boys. Hatfields lived on both the West Virginia and Kentucky sides of the Tug and they had some bad boys, too.
Since the days of the Civil War - it had then only been a bit over 17 years since Appomattox - there had been bad blood and ill feeling between these two large families. William Anderson ("Devil Anse") Hatfield was the father of 13 children and Randolph (Rand'l) McCoy had done equally well in production. Those 13 children in each of these old mountain families spelled out bad luck in capital letters, - that is, bad for each of those two families.
The McCoy family hated the Hatfields because Johnson ("Johnse) Hatfield, handsome son of Devil Anse, had enjoyed a clandestine affair with Rose Anne McCoy, comely mountain lassie, the daughter of Randolph McCoy. Then too, the death of Harmon McCoy distilled still more hatred between the two big families. These two families had been on opposing sides in the Civil War, it should be stated. Also Floyd Hatfield, cousin of Devil Anse, and Randolph McCoy, had married sisters.
In 1873 these two brothers-in-law had a law suit over a sow and some pigs. Rand'l McCoy claimed the hogs but Floyd Hatfield said they were his'n. But the hogs went to Hatfield. Witnesses were accused of lying in Squire Anderson (Preacher Anse) Hatfield's court which was held in his house. Fuel was added to the flame of hatred between the two families, the McCoys and the Hatfields, as a result of the trial. From then on it was plain to see that the devil was to pay sooner or later. A man with one eye and only half- sense could see that, provided he was informed on local history along the Tug.
On that Monday 75 years ago today, Preacher Anderson Hat- field was one of the election officials and he was the best one of all the Hatfields, it was thought. He had a brother they called "Bad" Lias because he was a heavy drinker and was mean besides. Devil Anse had a brother named Elias but he wasn't as bad as "Bad 'Lias."
Both "Bad" 'Lias and Devil Anse's brother Elias were at the Kentucky election to watch political trends and otherwise pass the time of day. Preacher Anse Hatfield was only 47 years old at that time but most of the Hatfields minded him because he was a "Hardshell" Baptist minister. Among the Hatfields present that day, but not voting, was Ellison Hatfield, a Lieutenant in Pickett's Division and one who was in Pickett's immortal charge at Gettysburg on July 3,, 19 years before this election day.
Father of 11 children, Ellison Hatfield was a handsome and powerful man. He was wearing a big broad straw hat which they called a "Sundown" hat and everyone was kidding him about. Ellison turned taunts, aside by saying "I brought you some roughness for your cattle," alluding, of course, to his immense straw hat.
Drinking was rife that day and those with old grudges were carrying chips on their shoulders. Everyone was looking for trouble, it seemed. Beneath a big tree was a table and about it sat the election authorities. There the Australian ballot had not been heard of, apparently, and voter's choices were publicly stated to the poll clerks. This made more ill feeling.
Suddenly an open quarrel flared up-back under other threes at the rear of the polling spot. It seems that Tolbert McCoy, 31, son of Randolph McCoy, had bounced "Bad 'Lias" Hatfield to pay him the $1.75 which Tolbert claimed was due him on a fiddle he had recently sold "Bad 'Lias." This Bad 'Lias" lived a couple of miles up Blackberry Creek from where the trouble broke out.
Tolbert's two brothers, Phamer, 19, and Randolph McCoy Jr., 15, joined in the quarrel and backed up their brother Tolbert. At this juncture, up came Ellison Hatfield, drunk, and in a foul mood. Tolbert McCoy stalked Ellison Hatfield and reported to the Gettysburg hero that, "I'm hell on earth."
Ellison said, "You're a d-n (vulgar word) hog."
A fight ensued and Ellison Hatfield was stabbed and shot. Guns leaped from pockets and other shots were fired in anger. Those three McCoy boys were subsequently arrested and were being taken to Pikeville jail when Devil Anse and his friends took them away from the law officers. .
After being taken to the home of Anderson Ferrel in Warm Hollow, just back of the depot at Matewan, Ellison Hatfield expired the afternoon of Aug. 9,1882. Those 26 stab wounds and gashes, plus his gunshot wound, were too much for him.
That night the three McCoys were taken across the Tug at Matewan and shot to death in a paw paw thicket. From then on for years there was open warfare and fueding [sic] between the Hatfields and the McCoys.

June topic? Tell about someone awesome you've met through trail running.
And we all know how much I LOVE writing about THIS one! There are many, many people who are very, very awesome and special that life allowed me to meet because I joined trails, and, especially, trail ultrarunning. The people who find their passion in this what used to be an odd niche are incredible, and when you meet them, open your heart to them, share your pains (and not just physical) - the bond lasts forever.I can list all the "famous" folks who had become wonderful friends over the last 12 years, I can list my crazy and committed running partners, but the most awesome person I had met was the one who chose to spend his life with me, through thick and thin, sickness and health, rich or poor...yes, Mr. Larry King. And we met not simply "through" trail running - we met, quite literally, on trails. Lets the story begin...
There is this little race, Zane Grey 50, that I consider my favorite of all 50's I've done. I had run it in 2006 and had an amazing time, proving myself I am good at exactly this kind of things, crazy tough, with terrain and elements that put many folks down. I decided to come back in 2007. There was an injury involved, and some struggles, but as I said - this was MY kind of race, so I persevered - and made a small connection that I had no idea would go anywhere. There was this guy, who read my blog, and introduced himself before the race - we shook hands, and then...he passed me at mile 3, I passed him at mile 25, and that was it, the history, a normal thing, a thing that happens to each of us every time we go on a trail.
We were both married at the time, and from time to time would check into each others blog. Something he wrote once touched me, it felt that he was seeking support in a darkness of time - I felt it, I was in my own dark days...and I reached out, told him to hold on. Turns out, there was a reason we felt connection, all of a sudden - those dark times were of the same proportion for both of us: we happened to be ending our perspective 18 years old marriages. That was weird, but that was all there was.
Another few months pass by, and I come to check out this new great race in NM, Jemez 50. The terrain and difficulty seems to be right up my alley, I arrive - and who comes to shake my hand again at a pre-race meeting but Larry. And so I joked: "Don't let the history repeat itself!".
The race began as always, with me holding my reins, and slowly making my way through the field. Somewhere at mile 30 I come up on, yes, Larry! He is having struggles with his energy and with his hip, and I smile, and all I can say is: "You better hang on to mys skirt, don't let me drop you again!".
done already. But life's story was only beginning to get written...
He emailed me with "thanks for saving my behind", I responded with "Anytime you want to see Oregon, come over and I'll play your tour guide". 2 weeks later he, a guy who thinks months before making any kind of decisions, was on a flight to Portland - and what a weekend it was!.
|Handy's peak, 2008
|Hardrock 2009.
And so it was no surprise that I was driving my car across the country in the heat of the summer of 2009 from Portland, OR to Austin, TX, and no surprise that the venue for our commitment to each other was, you guessed it, local trails.

Dissatisfied with your (or your husband's) company's benefits (or lack thereof)?
Check out what Google offers their employees (and get yourself really pissed off):
Google's benefits
Some of the perks include:
* 12 weeks of maternity leave at 75% pay
* 6 weeks of parental leave at 75% pay

* adoption assistance up to $5000

Can you say holy crap?? Go ahead. Say it. HOLY CRAP! Now that is a company that knows how to treat it's employees. I bet their retention rate is extremely high. Who would want to leave a company that will bend over backwards for you?
Where do I sign up?? 😉
I should probably add that the reason I was even looking at Google's perks is because my husband was day-dreaming that his current company would get bought out by Google. ::sigh:: We've all got our dreams.

Morneau emerging as quiet leader
DENVER -- Rockies first baseman Justin Morneau slipped on a pair of gray baseball pants just before beginning his pregame preparation at Coors Field on Monday. Oops. At home, the Rockies wear white pants with purple pinstripes.
Morneau laughed at himself. "I'd done so well in the gray pants," he said, before changing quickly so no one else would notice.
There certainly were hits in those road pants -- 4-for-16 with two home runs and two doubles in his last five games. But it's the man, not his pants, who is finding his swing and emerging as a key performer and positive example for the Rockies, with whom he signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract during the offseason.
Through his first 15 appearances, Morneau was hitting .346 with six extra-base hits. His .924 OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) was sixth-highest among National League first basemen.
Morneau's .346 start was his best through 15 games since 2005, when he was hitting .390. That year, however, his average finished at .239.
Morneau, who turns 33 on May 15, also has quietly but efficiently fit in, and at times stepped out front with the Rockies. It's the Morneau who was one of the heart-and-soul players with the Twins 2003 through last August.
Last year, the Twins traded Morneau to the Pirates last Aug. 31. While Morneau was a contributor to a playoff team, he acknowledged that players such as Andrew McCutchen and Pedro Alvarez were the leaders and he was "joining someone else's party."
Because he has been with the Rockies since the start of Spring Training, he has had time for vigorous pregame preparation and postgame exercise routines and his relaxed sense of self to become part of the fabric of the club. Having Michael Cuddyer, who was a longtime teammate with the Twins and had already established himself as a Rockies leader, helped Morneau.
"Anytime you've been around a while, people look at how you go about your business, how you do things, how you work, and how you play -- as much as I look at everybody else who's successful," Morneau said. "People have respect for players who have been around awhile, so it's a big part of it.
"There's a way that I believe and Cuddy believes the game is supposed to be played. We just try to set an example."
The Rockies pursued Morneau believing he was past the concussion problems that limited his availability 2010-12. Because he finished last year healthy (.259, 17 HR, 77 RBIs in 152 games combined with the Twins and the Pirates), the Rockies thought Morneau could have a full offseason of preparation and use that to return to something close to his former All-Star status.
But what they knew about Morneau's presence was as much a reason for pursuing him as the projected production.
"Guys respond to him," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's tough coming to a new club, even if you've been around for awhile. Morney has been out front and he's set the tone in a lot of ways. We've got a good group -- some veteran guys that are willing to take on that leadership role. He's been great."
Morneau's calm nature allows him to walk the line of leading without being overbearing.
"If there's some way I feel I can help, something I see or a situation I've been in before, guys can accept things a lot more if you talk to them one-on-one," Morneau said. "I'm not big on embarrassing somebody. Obviously, if you're not respecting your teammates, respecting the game, there are times that needs to be brought to someone's attention. And we have guys who are willing to listen. It's fun to talk to those guys."
It helps when the person with the advice is producing. That's the case with Morneau, whose recent extra-base hits have been especially hard. The homers were to center field at San Francisco's AT&T Park and San Diego's Petco Park. The double that drove in the Rockies' first run in the rally that gave them a 3-1 victory over the Padres was hit hard enough on a line that Padres right fielder Chris Denorfia froze initially and couldn't recover.
"My swing is a lot more consistent than it has been in a while," Morneau said. "Obviously, getting results is nice, but every time you step in to bat you want to feel like you're going to get a hit. It's important to have."

Go with the Pros
Articles are written by scholars
One of the best things about using subject encyclopedias is that the articles are written by scholars or subject experts. These scholars and experts were selected by editors, so you can be assured that these people are real (you can't say that about most websites). Their experience and academic credentials have earned the authors credibility.
We won't say that everything in print is perfect or true. People do make mistakes. But when you use materials that have gone through the publication cycle -- research, writing, submitting, editing, fact-checking, proofreading, and publishing -- you at least know that you're starting with quality material.

Since honeypots have already been discussed you can obviously see that. But what a tarpit is, is a software utility that mimiks machines on your network. It will create new, replicate, ect, machines within your IP block. A tarpit is used to slow down scans and DoS attacks. Since the fake computers are not there, every ping, ip scan, ect, sent there way will take the maximum ammount of time to time-out. This will cause any type of scan for trojans, open ports, or even dos attacks to target sometimes thousands of computers that do not exist. Which will in turn slow down the attack substantially allowing you to recover quicker, and safe-gaurd you system with less of a loss to you.
A very good tarpit that I have used before on my computer network is LaBrea. Available for download at www.HackBusters.net

What will Ashlee do?
EW is reporting that Ashlee Simpson and some other dude have been axed from the new Melrose Place. The official word is that this was the intention all along. I don't watch the show, but many of you who do have been quite expressive about how she's the worst part of it. Needless to say, the "read between the lines" conclusion among the masses is that the official word is nice talk for We Fired Her Because She Sucks.
So now what?
What is the relevance of an Ashlee Simpson?
Not being facetious. Strategically, how do you career plan for Ashlee Simpson? She can't act. She can't sell records. She changed her face and looks like everybody else. And she's only 25. That's a lot of time doing nothing but shopping.
Stupid me.
For celebrities that's actually a rewarding existence.
This is Ashlee, skinnier than ever and, surprise!, shopping yesterday in Studio City.

Modified Mustangs & FordsNews & Views
Scott Drake Pay It Forward Winner Announced
Mustangs of East Texas Gets To "Pay It Forward" With a '66 Project Mustang
In celebration of Drake Automotive Group's 30th anniversary and the 45th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Scott Drake and the Mustang Club of America are giving one MCA club a chance to Pay It Forward with the ultimate Mustang makeover. The lucky MCA club will start with a '66 Ford Mustang convertible project car and $10,000 in parts donated by Scott Drake. The club will finish with a fully restored Mustang that will be displayed in the Scott Drake booth during the 2009 SEMA show and later sold at auction. Proceeds from the sale of the car will benefit the charity selected by the winning MCA club, giving them an opportunity to Pay It Forward.
Several clubs from across the country submitted applications for the contest. Mustangs of East Texas (www.mustangsofeasttexas.com) stood out from the rest by providing a hardbound book with a full timeline and delegated plan of the restoration. The club knows who will be responsible for every part of the car. The club has worked with the East Texas Crisis Center (www.etcc.org) for years. The crisis center is "dedicated to providing safety, shelter, and education for victims of family violence, sexual assault, and other violent crime" with a "commitment to restoring dignity and purpose in the lives of victims and promoting public compassion and awareness in order to reduce violence in our community."
Scott Drake and Mustangs of East Texas aren't the only ones involved in this project. Quantum Performance will donate an engine of the club's choice to the project, Performance Automatic will provide a C4 automatic transmission, and Kicker Audio will provide a complete audio system for the car.
We'll follow the build of the car right here, so check back for updates.

The guy is a brilliant bowler, definitely one of the best in the world. He has had his fair share of injuries, suspensions, and bowling action controversies, and as a result he hasn't played as much cricket as he should have over the years. But at the moment I couldn't imagine a more fearsome sight at the bowling crease.
I'd also like to commend his attitude, it's strange how much controversy has surrounded him because IMO he has perhaps the best attitude in the Pakistan team. He is always charging in and giving it everything, even when he's getting hit around, and he's one of the most committed fielders in the team. His catch to get out Clarke was priceless imo, his casual catch technique, Awesome.
But most of all I think he is a wonderful bowler, easily (consistently)the fastest in the world, but also a thinker who bowls brilliantly at the death in ODIs.

- I want a white light but which white light color should I choose?
- Warm White is equivalent to a standard incandescent light color and is most popular for residential applications. It has a slight warm yellow glow to it that many people find comfortable and we are all used to seeing in our homes. It is a 2700-3000K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.
Cool White is equivalent to a standard CFL or Fluorescent light color and is most popular for commercial applications, although it is also used fairly often in residential. It puts out a pure white without any yellow undertone. It is a 4000-4500K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.
DayWhite™ most closely replicates natural daylight and does have a slight blue hue to the light output. This is rarely seen in residential applications as the light output can seem a bit harsh and bright, and is most commonly seen in exterior or commercial applications. This is the brightest of the White light color options. It is a 6000-6500K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.
- How does this fixture install?
- This light comes with a landscape stake that can be placed into the ground to support the light.
The light is supplied with a wire pigtail that you will connect directly to your power source (12VDC, 24VDC or 120VAC). Connect the positive(+) wire to the positive wire on your power supply and the neutral(-) wire to the neutral(-) wire on your power supply.
- Can I daisy chain or connect multiple lights together?
- Yes, just make sure that your wire gauge and power source are adequate to support the distance you are running from your power source to the lights and the number of lights on your circuit.
- How long is the wire lead on each light?
- There is approximately 2' of wire lead that comes standard with these lights. You have the option to order longer wire lead lengths if needed./dd>
- Which voltage option should I choose?
- 12VDC: Popular for automotive, motorcycle, boat/marine applications, or anywhere where you are connecting to a 12VDC supply. Some applications may require a separate 12VDC power supply!
24VDC: This is the most popular option for residential and commercial applications. 24VDC is a safe low voltage, and is the most stable and reliable voltage for your aspectLED in-ceiling lights. Requires a separate 24VDC supply!
120VAC: Designed to connect directly to your 120VAC residential supply power. No additional power supply is required.
- If I choose a low voltage (12VDC or 24VDC) light; how do I know what power supply to purchase?
- The method to calculate your required power source for a low voltage light installation would be to take the watts per light (in the specs section of the product you are interested in), multiply by the number of fixtures you plan to install, and then add 20% to that total. The resulting number is the minimum number of watts your power supply needs to be, so round up to the next available size power supply.It never hurts to go with a larger power supply. Your lights will only consume the number of watts actually being used when they are on.
- What gauge wire should I run to my lights?
- We generally recommend using between 14ga or 16ga stranded wire. If you are installing these outdoors, you will need direct burial rated wire. Longer distances require larger gauge wire. Always consult a wire gauge chart to determine the correct size wire for your application.
- Is this fixture UL listed?
- Many of our products are UL listed. To confirm, please review the Certifications listed under the product specifications section of the product you are interested in.

Choosing a color
White Light
Warm White
Warm White is most popular light color for residential applications and has a bit of a gentle/soft warmth/yellowish hue to it. Warm white is the same color as a standard incandescent light bulb, which is 2700-3000K.
Cool White
Cool white (also referred to as Neutral White) is popular for commercial (office/hospital/medical/municipal) applications. It is also very popular in modern-style residential projects. Cool white is a very pure white, it doesn't really have any yellowish or blueish hue. Cool white is the same color as most fluorescent light bulbs, which is 4000-4300K.
Day White (Daylight White)
DayWhite TM is the brightest LED light color that we offer and is popular in industrial and other applications where a high color temperature and high brightness is desired. DayWhite is an ultra-pure white, with a bit of a blue-ish hue, designed to mimic the color of natural sunlight. It is the same color as metal halide bulbs, which is 6000K.
Colored Light
If you're looking for a specific color of light output, we also offer a variety of colored LEDs, including: Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.

Wire Lead Length
The wire lead length is the amount of waterproof rubberized wire that comes pre-attached to your LED light fixture. Most electricians and contractors prefer to have enough wire length to get from the light fixture to a nearby above-ground/above-water junction box.
Have questions or need assistance choosing?

Choosing the right voltage
Low Voltage DC
12VDC or 24VDC (12 volts DC or 24 volts DC) are the most popular options for newer residential landscape lighting. These voltages require an LED power supply that outputs DC voltage. 12VDC and 24VDC are a safe, low voltage and is the most stable and reliable voltage for your LED lights.
120VAC (Line Voltage)
Many of our landscape lights are also available in a line voltage (120VAC) version. Remember that line voltage is a high voltage power source, so you should ensure that you are familiar with all of your local codes for installing electrical fixtures before choosing 120VAC.
12VAC (12 volts AC) is used in many older landscape lighting applications. A 12VAC system is different than a 12VDC system in that it will use AC current rather than DC. If you have an existing transformer or landscape lighting, check to see if it is 12VAC or 12VDC.

Melissa — 1 Person Killed in Car vs. Tractor-Trailer Collision on Sam Rayburn Highway
Posted on Monday, March 23rd, 2020 at 10:22 pm by Williams Hart
On the morning of Friday, March 20, 2020, one person was killed in a car vs. tractor-trailer collision that occurred in Melissa, Texas.
According to initial reports, the car and the tractor-trailer collided into each other on Sam Rayburn Highway, near Texas State Highway 5. The impact of the collision caused the car to become lodged beneath the truck.
One person was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash still remains under investigation.
It is unfortunate to hear of the death of the unidentified victim. Alas, there are countless other victims who suffered the same fate. Vehicular accidents like this are awfully common nowadays. In statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car accidents occur almost every minute of every day, and every 16 minutes, someone dies from a car accident. This can be translated to be about 6 million car accidents every year and about 37,000 people dying from them.
Additionally, an accident involving a tractor-trailer is a kind of vehicular accident, and it is a deadly one just because of the fact that a tractor-trailer is one of the largest and most dangerous vehicles in the world. It is estimated that there are more than 2 million tractor-trailers roaming in the United States, and each year, they get involved in about 500,000 accidents. And since the size of a tractor-trailer is enormous, the results of this kind of accident are catastrophic, from a severe injury to death.
Vehicular accidents, especially those involving trucks, are quite difficult for the victims and their respective families. Thankfully, there are lawyers that specialize in truck accidents, so if you are a victim of this kind of accident, or you know someone who is, or you lost a loved one because of this, then please never hesitate to ask for help from these lawyers. They will help you in protecting your rights and in getting you the justice that you deserve.
If someone you love was seriously hurt or killed in an accident, you may be unsure of where to turn. The attorneys of Williams Hart have experience helping people through the aftermath of catastrophic accidents, and we can help you too. Contact our law firm at (713) 352-7071 to speak with an experienced lawyer today.

Calibre PERC Garners Award for Innovative Advancements in Electrical Rule Checking
WILSONVILLE, Ore. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 12, 2010 — Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced it was honored with an Electronic Products' Product of the Year award for its Calibre® PERC. This solution directly addresses two key requirements for electrical rule checking that are currently unmet needs in the industry. The first is ensuring that designers have met all electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection rules, which is critical to the robustness of designs in portable and high-reliability applications. The other is being able to verify the integrity of low power designs that have multiple power domains. Calibre PERC removes the burden of electrical rule checking from designers, and it can be programmed to meet these general concerns as well as address unique customer requirements.
Jim Harrison, West Coast Editor for Electronic Products magazine said, "We felt the Programmable Electrical Rule Checker provided SoC designers with a significant new tool to address reliability challenges with a solution that tackles circuit verification both geometrically and electrically. The tool's programmable electrical rules checking provides a unique flexibility that can greatly reduce time required for verification."
The editors of Electronic Products—a leading trade publication for electronic design engineers—evaluated thousands of products launched in 2009. The winning products are selected on the basis of innovative design, significant advancement in technology or application, and substantial achievement in price and performance. The Calibre PERC product demonstrated success in improving the reliability of ICs by enabling extremely flexible electrical rule checking based on both circuit design (netlist) and layout geometry information.
The 2009 Product of the Year Awards were announced in the January 2010 issue of Electronic Products with a cover feature and a brief description of each product. Additionally, the winning products appear on Electronic Products' website. 2009 marks the 34th annual Electronic Products' "Product of the Year" Awards, which began recognizing the best products in the industry in 1977.

Timing belt kit with engine seals
For many high-mileage or hard-working vehicles, it makes sense to replace the engine seals when installing a new timing belt. If the old seals were to begin leaking, the customer would reincur installation labour costs. If oil were to leak onto the belt, another new belt could be required.
SKF timing belt kits with engine seals make preventing these problems easy. The kits contain everything needed to complete the job, including high-quality components that meet or exceed OE specs, such as PTFE seals when applicable. They are also available in a range that covers most popular models, including 90 kits for the Asian car parc.

The importance of the NSX cannot be overstated.
Created to do battle with Europe's best exotics while maintaining Japanese reliability. Tested by Formula One legend Ayrton Senna. The "muse" that inspired the invincible McLaren F1. The first car with an all-aluminum monocoque body. The NSX is all of these things and much more.
The Nissan GT-R is fantastic, but if you ask me, the NSX is still the greatest Japanese car of all time. Furthermore, its design remains striking and eye catching even today. When an NSX drives down the street, all heads turn to see it.
It's a luminary car, so it deserves a luminous wallpaper.
Our wallpaper this weekend comes to us from friend of the site Patrick Ernzen over at Desert Motors. Patrick shot this fantastically lit photo of the NSX that I had to share with you guys. Check out the other galleries on his site; he's immensely talented.
What do you guys think of the NSX? Does it hold up today?
Calling all photogs: New wallpapers typically are featured on Saturdays. Do you have a photo you'd like to see posted here? Then send it to tips at jalopnik dot com with the subject line "Weekend Wallpaper." Just make sure you have the proper rights to the photo and can tell us how to credit it.

Tom Osborne recently opined on the state of football offenses. And keep in mind that, not only did the guy win multiple championships at Nebraska, his offenses also scored points. Indeed, while much has deservedly been made of Oklahoma's terrific multiple pro-style up-tempo offense, in 1995 it was Nebraska who averaged over 52 points a game en route to a title. Including OU this year, only five teams have averaged over fifty points a game for a season since 1945. So Osborne has a unique perspective on football offenses, the spread, and what could be next.
"You know, people are really obsessed right now with spread offense," Osborne said. "And I think there are a lot of real great features about it. But I think you're going to see a team jump up and do really well at something that's different. For a long time, Oklahoma had a real advantage because the only time you saw the wishbone was the week you played Oklahoma. It was so different from what you were doing.
"Now, although those spread offenses are giving people trouble, you still see it week after week after week. So, as time goes by, defenses are going to get a little better at playing it. I don't know that anybody will ever shut it down, but they'll play it better. And then you're going to see something like what (former Navy coach) Paul Johnson is doing down there at Georgia Tech." [Flexbone Triple Option]
"That's something that's so much different than what anybody's seeing," Osborne said. "He's going to make some waves. He's taking what they've been doing at the service academies for years. And now he's got bigger linemen. And more speed. Now he can recruit kids he probably wasn't getting at Navy.
"I'm not saying it's going to be that type of offense. But there's going to be somebody who's going to start doing some things that people just aren't seeing all the time. And that'll maybe start another wave of innovation and some different things happening."
A few points. First, Osborne's description of the spread belies some of the ambiguity behind the term -- he likely has not read my most recent piece on it -- and it's obviously a truism that you can no longer get the advantage of being different if you're doing what everyone else is. Second, Osborne is absolutely right that there are huge advantages to be had by running something that your opponents only see once a year. At one time, this was the spread. Now of course, that's no longer the case.
That point can't be overemphasized though. Every offensive scheme must be able to do a few things: must have ways to get the ball to your playmakers; must be able to get the ball to different guys when the defense wants to take your best players away; must have schemes and counters that attack the defenses you will see, both in terms of fronts and coverages; and it must be able to do all those things without overwhelming your players with information. Easier said than done. It's an added, but not necessary perk if your opponents are not used to seeing it.
And Johnson, at Georgia Tech, has a special perk with his flexbone: normally, if you do something your opponents are not used to seeing, then you too are not overly familiar with it. That is how it was with the early spread teams. Johnson, by contrast, has used his offense for decades and knows all the adjustments and changes. When Georgia Tech ran all over Miami and Georgia, a lot of it came in the second half. Often, it seemed like the defense had two guys defending, say, the pitch guy, or the quarterback, and none on the guy who wound up running for a forty-yard run. The reason for that was because Johnson knows how to vary his blocking and assignments to take away the guy responsible for those players. So when announcers like to say that you play "assignment" football to stop the option that is only partially true. If you do, Johnson figures out who is "assigned" to his guys and blocks them, and then lets the reads take care of themselves. So this is where execution and soundness of an offense meet uniqueness.
But my last point is that I'm not sure if Osborne's narrative is exactly right. It's true that, to some extent, football is cyclical. But it's not exactly cyclical. Defenses do not completely forget; with the internet, they absolutely cannot forget: the answers are all out there. The single-wing stuff is back, but it's also different. In the old-old days, the centers who did the shotgun snaps did not really know how to snap the ball with their heads up, so they were ineffective blockers. So now, with the wildcat and other single-wing variants, the center is now an equally effective blocker.
But the meta-narrative here is passing. Again, this point can be overstated, as passing was not invented in the last two decades (Joe Namath had a 4,000 yard season with the Jets), but there's clearly been a synthesis. I think that it will be unlikely that teams will be completely unable to throw -- or run -- with consistent success. Now, that does not mean the type of "balance" usually spewed on TV (equal carries, equal yards, etc) as I have well documented that the better approach to balance is a somewhat game-theoretic one. But both Florida's and OU's offenses are examples of ones where they use advanced and time-tested concepts -- spread, play-action, quicks, multiple-formations, etc -- to put maximum pressure on the defense. As a football pragmatist, I think that these types of offenses will continue to set the standard. Unlike Osborne, I think using what once was, alone, will not work, without the added ability to pass or evolve.
2. Malcolm Gladwell's "Quarterback Problem"
The famous (or infamous) Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink, The Tipping Point, and now Outliers, has a very interesting new essay in the New Yorker. The point of the article is about how we could be better at selecting teachers, because we now know that being a good teacher is all about making a connection with kids (who are not always easy to read) and these are skills not easily taught, evaluated, or identified. To illustrate the problem of identifying good future teachers he uses the problem of identifying successful NFL quarterbacks, focusing on a scout's attempt to evaluate Mizzou's Chase Daniel.
And, if we focus just on football for now, this is an amazing thing. No position is paid more highly in the NFL than quarterback, and no position is more integral to a team's success. And no position receives more scrutiny. And it's a total crapshoot. The studies have been done, and draft position -- the best marker of what the expectations levels are for a quarterback -- has absolutely no bearing on how successful a quarterback winds up. This is scary. It's scary enough for football -- all that money and time spent on what is basically a futile endeavor -- but, as Gladwell points out, it's scary for society that we have lots of jobs where we don't know how to pick how people will be successful.
But then Shonka [NFL talent scout] began to talk about when he was on the staff of the Philadelphia Eagles, in 1999. Five quarterbacks were taken in the first round of the college draft that year, and each looked as promising as Chase Daniel did now. But only one of them, Donovan McNabb, ended up fulfilling that promise. Of the rest, one descended into mediocrity after a decent start. Two were complete busts, and the last was so awful that after failing out of the N.F.L. he ended up failing out of the Canadian Football League as well.
The year before, the same thing happened with Ryan Leaf, who was the Chase Daniel of 1998. The San Diego Chargers made him the second player taken over all in the draft, and gave him an eleven-million-dollar signing bonus. Leaf turned out to be terrible. In 2002, it was Joey Harrington's turn. Harrington was a golden boy out of the University of Oregon, and the third player taken in the draft. Shonka still can't get over what happened to him.
"I tell you, I saw Joey live," he said. "This guy threw lasers, he could throw under tight spots, he had the arm strength, he had the size, he had the intelligence." Shonka got as misty as a two-hundred-and-eighty-pound ex-linebacker in a black tracksuit can get. "He's a concert pianist, you know? I really—I mean, I really—liked Joey." And yet Harrington's career consisted of a failed stint with the Detroit Lions and a slide into obscurity. Shonka looked back at the screen, where the young man he felt might be the best quarterback in the country was marching his team up and down the field. "How will that ability translate to the National Football League?" He shook his head slowly. "Shoot."
This is the quarterback problem. There are certain jobs where almost nothing you can learn about candidates before they start predicts how they'll do once they're hired. So how do we know whom to choose in cases like that? In recent years, a number of fields have begun to wrestle with this problem, but none with such profound social consequences as the profession of teaching.
Now Gladwell's explanation is likely imperfect (he clearly has not read my articles, particularly when he talks about the "spread" that Mizzou runs), though it hits at the general truth: the only way to evaluate how good a quarterback will be in the NFL is to see them play in the NFL. And even then sometimes the light just goes on for certain guys after a period of mediocrity. It's just so hard to say. With baseball, as Moneyball showed, you can model the game to at least tell you a great deal of what you need to know. It's a game largely about hitters and pitchers. We may not know everything, but it gets us far to the end. But football is too complex. Players can't be evaluated solely on statistics. And the traditional scouting method, some kind of gestalt impression where you say "ah he looks good" has been proven unreliable.
We know that Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf were seen as the undoubted 1-2 picks. Many liked Leaf better. We know Leaf completely failed while Manning has had remarkable success. Do we even know why, exactly though? A fair but unscientific pop psychology hypothesis is that Leaf was too mentally unstable: he had all the physical tools but few of the emotional and mental ones. But isn't it obvious that NFL quarterback is only a partially physical game? I always thought of evaluating quarterbacks as a threshold approach: the guy has to be able to do certain things, to make certain throws, but after that, the physical qualities diminish. Whether a guy throws a deep out with "zip" or as a "laser" is irrelevant if he lacks knowledge, awareness, and a sense of timing.
And do we even know if that hypothesis was right? What about those five guys from 1999? How do you explain Akili Smith and Cade McNown who were apparently dead on arrival? Tim Couch seemed to just fumble through mediocrity into eventual oblivion, but those two guys were right there and had unbelievably short careers. Physical? Mental? Mental in what sense? Couldn't learn the playbook? Couldn't handle the pressure? No timing? No support from teammates? I haven't a clue. I don't know how you glean lessons from those evaluation failures.
A college quarterback joining the N.F.L., by contrast, has to learn to play an entirely new game. Shonka began to talk about Tim Couch, the quarterback taken first in that legendary draft of 1999. Couch set every record imaginable in his years at the University of Kentucky. "They used to put five garbage cans on the field," Shonka recalled, shaking his head, "and Couch would stand there and throw and just drop the ball into every one." But Couch was a flop in the pros. It wasn't that professional quarterbacks didn't need to be accurate. It was that the kind of accuracy required to do the job well could be measured only in a real N.F.L. game.
Similarly, all quarterbacks drafted into the pros are required to take an I.Q. test—the Wonderlic Personnel Test. The theory behind the test is that the pro game is so much more cognitively demanding than the college game that high intelligence should be a good predictor of success. But when the economists David Berri and Rob Simmons analyzed the scores—which are routinely leaked to the press—they found that Wonderlic scores are all but useless as predictors. Of the five quarterbacks taken in round one of the 1999 draft, Donovan McNabb, the only one of the five with a shot at the Hall of Fame, had the lowest Wonderlic score. And who else had I.Q. scores in the same range as McNabb? Dan Marino and Terry Bradshaw, two of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game.
We're used to dealing with prediction problems by going back and looking for better predictors. We now realize that being a good doctor requires the ability to communicate, listen, and empathize—and so there is increasing pressure on medical schools to pay attention to interpersonal skills as well as to test scores. We can have better physicians if we're just smarter about how we choose medical-school students. But no one is saying that Dan Shonka is somehow missing some key ingredient in his analysis; that if he were only more perceptive he could predict Chase Daniel's career trajectory. The problem with picking quarterbacks is that Chase Daniel's performance can't be predicted. The job he's being groomed for is so particular and specialized that there is no way to know who will succeed at it and who won't. In fact, Berri and Simmons found no connection between where a quarterback was taken in the draft—that is, how highly he was rated on the basis of his college performance—and how well he played in the pros.
Indeed, as we have seen with guys like Brad Johnson or Matt Cassell, apparently playing in college is not even as important as some other, less tangible, factors. As Gladwell points out:
The entire time that Chase Daniel was on the field against Oklahoma State, his backup, Chase Patton, stood on the sidelines, watching. Patton didn't play a single down. In his four years at Missouri, up to that point, he had thrown a total of twenty-six passes. And yet there were people in Shonka's world who thought that Patton would end up as a better professional quarterback than Daniel. The week of the Oklahoma State game, the national sports magazine ESPN even put the two players on its cover, with the title "CHASE DANIEL MIGHT WIN THE HEISMAN"—referring to the trophy given to college football's best player. "HIS BACKUP COULD WIN THE SUPER BOWL." Why did everyone like Patton so much? It wasn't clear. Maybe he looked good in practice. Maybe it was because this season in the N.F.L. a quarterback who had also never started in a single college game is playing superbly for the New England Patriots. It sounds absurd to put an athlete on the cover of a magazine for no particular reason. But perhaps that's just the quarterback problem taken to an extreme. If college performance doesn't tell us anything, why shouldn't we value someone who hasn't had the chance to play as highly as someone who plays as well as anyone in the land?One answer is that ESPN the magazine is a hyperbolic and bizarre magazine, but there were actual scouts quoted in that article. The view seemed to be that while Chase Patton is not good enough to beat out Chase Daniel, he is instead good enough to be drafted ahead of him. In any event, this is a problem that affects all professions, and all stages of life. We know that what makes someone good in one level cannot be evaluated until you get to the next. Chase Daniel is an excellent college quarterback, and all the debate about the NFL around him is really unfair and beside the point so long as he in college, as it is with Tim Tebow. The answer is no one knows how good these kids will be. It's no referendum on them, nor their spread offenses or coaches, but just different circumstances.
Eventually, I suppose, scouting will finally more approximate a science. But right now, we know, that scouts and NFL teams literally do not know what they are doing when they throw money at guys. Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco look excellent, but they just as likely could have been Ryan Leaf or Cade McNown. This year Green Bay drafted Brian Brohm from Louisville early in the draft and Matt Flynn from LSU in the seventh round. Right now, Matt Flynn is ahead of Brohm on the depth chart: he just beat him out in camp and pre-season. No one could have foreseen that until they all got there. Brohm will be fine, but the Packers both were hurt and helped by their own incompetence at evaluating quarterbacks: they seem to have overvalued Brohm and everyone else undervalued Flynn.
Midway through the fourth quarter of the Oklahoma State–Missouri game, the Tigers were in trouble. For the first time all year, they were behind late in the game. They needed to score, or they'd lose any chance of a national championship. Daniel took the snap from his center, and planted his feet to pass. His receivers were covered. He began to run. The Oklahoma State defenders closed in on him. He was under pressure, something that rarely happened to him in the spread. Desperate, he heaved the ball downfield, right into the arms of a Cowboy defender.
Shonka jumped up. "That's not like him!" he cried out. "He doesn't throw stuff up like that."
Next to Shonka, a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs looked crestfallen. "Chase never throws something up for grabs!"It was tempting to see Daniel's mistake as definitive. The spread had broken down. He was finally under pressure. This was what it would be like to be an N.F.L. quarterback, wasn't it? But there is nothing like being an N.F.L. quarterback except being an N.F.L. quarterback. A prediction, in a field where prediction is not possible, is no more than a prejudice. Maybe that interception means that Daniel won't be a good professional quarterback, or maybe he made a mistake that he'll learn from. "In a great big piece of pie," Shonka said, "that was just a little slice."
