William Henry McCarty (November 23, 1859 – July 14, 1881), better known as Billy the Kid, but also known by the aliases William Antrim and William Harrison Bonney, was a famous 19th century American frontier outlaw and gunman who was a participant in the Lincoln County War. According to legend he killed 21 men, one for each year of his life, but more likely he participated in the killing of less than half that number.McCarty (or Bonney, the name he used at the height of his notoriety) was 5'8-5'9 with blue eyes, smooth cheeks, and prominent front teeth. He was said to be friendly and personable at times, but he could also be short-tempered and determined. This made him a very dangerous outlaw, when combined with his shooting skills and cunning. He was also famous for (apparently) always wearing a sugarloaf sombrero hat with a wide green decorative band. He was little known in his own lifetime but was catapulted into legend in the year after his death when his killer, Sheriff Patrick Garrett, published a wildly sensationalistic biography of him called The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid. Beginning with Garrett's account, Billy the Kid grew into a symbolic figure of the American Old West.

I can't believe how Trish Posey, a.k.a. Chef Trish, synthesizes outdoor cooking with a Christmas menu. A very intelligent gal who offers cooking classes from Gainesville, FL.

The rapidly disintegrating case against the Muslim kids in Toronto is further eviscerated by Thomas Walkom, columnist for the Toronto Star. One RCMP mole was paid $4 million to cook the bomb, the other created the 'training camp' and ran the operation. Another example of statist leaders cooking up a plot to justify military adventurism?

Yeah yipee wonderful, i camp alot with my kids and HATE cooking with gas etc etc, this stuff would be great, please please please bring it into production.

Don Imus, it turns out, isn’t cooked. Far from it. Hiring Lenny Bruce’s lawyer—the veteran First Amendment attorney Martin Garbus—was the first step in what appears to be an increasingly likely if improbable comeback. Officially, Imus is still laying low in New Mexico, overseeing his camp for kids with cancer and getting back to the land.

Lazy weekends, outdoor cafes, and daylight past 8 p.m. The kids are away at camp and it’s too hot to cook at home anyway. Something about summer makes the thought of eating out especially inviting. The June issue of Bon Appetit magazine lists 10 restaurants as “summer’s hotspots,” new foodie destinations around the country.
