I was impatient to continue my journey. It was not Americans I had come to see, but something totally different from the men I understood, something more in accord with the customary nature of my ideas; I longed to throw myself into an enterprise for which I was equipped with nothing but my imagination and courage.
When I framed the idea of discovering
the North-West Passage, it was not known whether

This discovery might have made me change direction and head due north; but I would have had scruples about altering the plan agreed between myself and Monsieur de Malesherbes. So I decided to travel west, so as to strike the north-west coast above the Gulf of California; from there, following the trend of the continent, and keeping the sea in sight, I hoped to explore the Behring Straits, double the northernmost cape of America, descend by the eastern shores of the Polar Sea, and return to the United States by way of Hudson Bay, Labrador, and Canada.
What means did I possess to execute
this prodigious peregrination? None. Most French explorers have been solitary
men, abandoned to their own resources; only rarely has the Government or some
company employed or assisted them. Englishmen, Americans, Germans, Spaniards
and Portuguese have accomplished, with the support of the national will, what
in our case impoverished individuals have attempted in vain. Mackenzie, and
others after him, have made conquests in the vast expanses of America, to the
benefit of the United States and Great Britain, which I dreamt of making in
order to extend the possessions of my native land. If I had succeeded, I would
have had the honour of giving French names to unknown regions, of endowing my
country with a colony on the
I found no encouragement in Philadelphia. I recognised then that the
object of this first voyage would not be achieved, and that my journey was only
the prelude to a second, longer voyage. I wrote to this effect to Monsieur de
Malesherbes, and while awaiting future events, I dedicated to poetry whatever
would be lost to science. Indeed, if I failed to find in

brought me to Baltimore, carried me from
London, April to September 1822.
At New-York
I embarked on the packet sailing for Albany,
on the upper reaches of the Hudson
River. The company was numerous. Towards evening on the first day, we were
served a collation of fruit and milk; the women sat on the benches and the men
on the deck, at their feet. Conversation was not long maintained: at the sight
of a beautiful natural picture one involuntarily falls silent. Suddenly someone
called out: 'There is the place where Asgill
was captured.' They asked a Quaker girl from

recognised, annoyed me. If I had believed in myself, I should have left for the

When the Mohawk had been crossed, and I had entered woods where no trees had ever been felled, I was seized with a sort of intoxication of freedom: I went from tree to tree, left and right, saying to myself: 'Here there are no more roads, no more towns, no monarchies, no republics, no presidents, no kings, no human beings.' And, to see if I was truly re-possessed of my original rights, I indulged in wild antics which enraged my guide, who in his heart, thought me mad.
Alas! I thought I was alone in that
forest where I held my head so high! Suddenly, I almost bruised my nose on the
side of a shelter. Once beneath it, I set astonished eyes on the first savages
I had ever seen. There were a score of them, men and women, painted like
sorcerers, bodies half-naked, ears slit, crows' feathers on their heads, and
rings through their noses. A little Frenchman, hair curled and powdered, in an
apple-green coat, a woollen jacket, and a muslin shirt-frill and ruffles, was
scraping a pocket-fiddle, and making the Iroquois dance to Madelon Friquet. Monsieur Violet
(for so he was called) was dancing-master to these savages. They paid for his
lessons in beaver skins and bears' hams. He had been a scullion in the service
of General Rochambeau, during the
American War. Remaining in
Was it not a devastating experience for a disciple of Rousseau, this introduction to savage life via a dancing-lesson given to the Iroquois by General Rochambeau's scullion? I was greatly tempted to laugh, though I felt cruelly humiliated.
London, April to September 1822.
I bought a complete outfit from the
Indians: two bearskins, one to serve as a half-toga; the other as a bed. I
added to my new apparel the red cap in ribbed cloth, the cloak, the belt, the
horn for calling in the dogs, and the bandolier of a trapper. My hair hung down
over my bare neck; I sported a long beard, I was savage, hunter, and missionary
all in one. They invited me to a hunt taking place next day, to track down a
carcajou, or wolverine. This species is almost entirely extinct in
We embarked before dawn, to ascend a river flowing from the woods where the wolverine had been seen. There were thirty or so of us, Indians as well as American and Canadian trappers: part of the group walked the bank beside the flotilla, with the dogs, and the women carried our provisions.
We found no trace of the carcajou; but we killed some lynxes and muskrats. The Indians would go into deep mourning, when they accidentally killed any of the latter, since the female muskrat is, as they all know, the mother of the human race. The Chinese, being even better observers, maintain with certainty that the rat can turn into a quail, the mole into an oriole.
Our table was furnished with an abundance of river-birds and fish. The dogs are trained to dive; when they are not hunting they go fishing: they throw themselves into the rivers and seize the fish from the very bottom of the water. The women cooked our meals on a large fire, round which we took our places.
We had to lay flat, faces to the earth, to protect our eyes from the smoke, clouds of which, floating above our heads, preserved us to some degree from mosquito bites.
The various carnivorous insects, seen through a microscope, are formidable creatures. They were those winged dragons perhaps whose fossils are met with: diminished in size, in the way that matter loses energy, those hydras, griffons and the rest, are found today in an insect state. The antediluvian giants are the little men of our own day.
London, April to September 1822.
Monsieur Violet offered me letters of
credence for the Onondagas, the remnant of one of the six Iroquois nations. I came first of all to the
Fifteen years later, when I bivouacked among the sands of the desert of Saba, a few steps from the Jordan, on the edge of the Dead Sea, our horses, those slight offspring of Arabia, looked as though they were listening to tales of the Sheiks, and taking part in the story of Antar or Job's steed.
It was scarcely four hours after when we completed our camp. I took my gun and went to explore the neighbourhood. There were few birds. Only a solitary pair flew up in front of me, like the birds I hunted in my native woods; from the colour of the male I recognised the white sparrow, passer nivalis of the ornithologists. I also heard the osprey, so well characterised by its call. The flight of that exclamator, led me through the woods to a valley hemmed in between bare and rocky heights; half-way up stood a wretched cabin; a lean cow was grazing in a meadow below.
I like such little shelters: 'A
After a few minutes, I heard a voice in the valley: three men were driving five or six fat cows along; they set them to grazing and drove the lean cow off with blows from their switches. An Indian woman came out of the hut, went towards the frightened animal, and called to it. The cow ran towards her stretching out its neck and lowing. The settlers threatened the woman from the distance, as she returned to the cabin. The cow followed her.
I rose, descended the slope on my side, crossed the valley, and climbing the opposite hill, arrived at the hut.
I pronounced the greeting I had been taught: 'Siegoh! I am come.' The Indian woman, instead of replying to my greeting by repeating the usual phrase: 'You are come', failed to reply at all. Then I stroked the cow: the sad yellow face of the Indian woman showed signs of feeling. I was moved by those mysterious acquaintances in adversity: there is tenderness in grieving over ills which no one else has ever grieved over.
The woman gazed at me for some time with lingering doubt then she came forward and placed her own hand on the brow of her companion in misery and solitude.
Encouraged by this mark of confidence, I said in English, since I had exhausted my Indian: 'She is very thin!' The Indian replied in bad English: 'She eats very little' – 'She was badly treated,' I continued. And the woman replied: 'We are both accustomed to it; Both.' I said: 'This field is not yours then?' She answered: 'The field belonged to my dead husband. I have no children, and the pale-skins drive their cattle into my field.'
I had nothing to offer God's creature. We parted. The woman said many things to me which I could not understand; no doubt wishes for my prosperity; if they were not heard in heaven, it was not the fault of the one who offered them, but the fault of him for whom the prayers were offered. Every soul does not possess an equal capacity for happiness, just as every field does not bear the same harvest.
I returned to my ajoupa (shelter), where a meal of potatoes and maize awaited me. The evening was magnificent; the lake, smooth as an un-silvered mirror, showed never a wrinkle; the river, murmuring, bathed our almost-island that the spice-bushes (calycanthus floridus) perfumed with the scent of apples. The whippoorwill repeated its cry: we heard it, now near, now far away, as the bird altered the location of its amorous calls. It was not my name being called. Weep, poor Will!
London, April to September 1822.
Next day, I went to visit the sachem
of the Onondagas; I reached his village
at ten in the morning. Immediately, I was surrounded by young savages who spoke
to me in their language, intermixed with English phrases and a few French
words; they made a great noise, and seemed happy, like the first Turks I saw
later at Modon, when I disembarked on the
soil of
Those who explored the North American interior found all the different forms of government known to civilised peoples, among the various savage nations. The Iroquois belonged to a race which seemed destined to conquer all of the Indian races, if strangers had not arrived to bleed his veins dry, and arrest his genius. That intrepid creature was not awed by firearms, when they were first used against him; he stood firm while bullets whistled and cannon roared, as if he had heard them all his life; he seemed to pay them no more attention than a passing storm. As soon as he could procure a musket, he employed it more effectively than a European. He did not abandon the tomahawk, scalping-knife, or bow and arrow, because of it; he added to them the carbine, pistol, dagger and hatchet: he seemed never to have enough weapons to match his valour. Doubly equipped with the murderous instruments of Europe and America, head decorated with feathers, ears slit, face daubed with diverse colours, arms tattooed and blood-smeared, this champion of the New World became as redoubtable in appearance as in battle, on the shores which he defended foot by foot against the invaders.
The sachem of the Onondagas was an old Iroquois in the full meaning of the word; in his person he guarded the ancient traditions of the wilderness.
English writers never fail to call the Indian sachem the old gentleman. Now, the old gentleman is completely naked; he sports a feather or a fishbone piercing his nostrils, and sometimes covers his head, smooth and round as a cheese, with a three-cornered hat edged with lace, as a European mark of honour. Does Velly not portray history with the same realism? The Frankish chieftain Chilpéric rubbed his hair with rancid butter, infundens acido comam butyro, painted his cheeks with woad, and wore a striped jacket or a tunic of animal skins; Velly represents him as a prince magnificent to the point of ostentation as to his furniture and retinue, voluptuous to the point of debauchery, scarcely believing in God, whose ministers were subjected to his mockery.
The sachem of the Onondagas received me courteously and invited me to be seated on a mat. He spoke English and understood French; my guide knew Iroquois: the conversation was relaxed. Among other things, the old man told me that though his nation had warred with mine, he had always respected it. He complained of the Americans; he found them unjust and covetous and regretted that in the partition of Indian territories his tribe had not augmented the share that went to the English.
The women served us a meal. Hospitality is the last virtue retained by the savages in the midst of the vices of European civilisation; what that hospitality once was is well-known; the hearth was as sacred as the altar.
When a tribe was driven from its woods, or when a man came seeking hospitality, the stranger began what was called the dance of the suppliant; the youngest child in the hut touched the threshold and said: 'Here is the stranger!' And the chief replied: 'Child, bring him into the hut.' The stranger, entering into the child's protection, went to sit among the ashes of the hearth. The women sang a song of consolation: 'The stranger has found a wife and a mother. The sun will rise and set for him as before.'
These customs appear as if borrowed
from the Greeks: Themistocles,
calling on Admetus, kisses the penates and his host's young son; (At Megara I trod perhaps on the poor woman's
hearthstone, under which Phocion's
cinerary urn was hidden); and Ulysses, in Alcinous' palace, implores Arete: 'Noble Arete, daughter of Rhexenor, after suffering cruel misfortune,
I throw myself at your feet…' Having spoken these words, the hero goes and sits
among the ashes of the hearth. – I took leave of the old sachem. He had been
present at the siege of Quebec. Among the shameful
years of Louis XV's reign, the episode of
the Canadian War consoles us, as if it were a page of our ancient history

London, April to September 1822.
Now my guide and I remounted our horses. Our trail became more difficult, marked only by a line of felled trees. The trunks of these trees served as bridges over the streams, or as fascines through the quagmires. At this time Americans were settling nearer to the Genesee concessions. These concessions fetched a higher or lower price depending on the condition of the soil, the quality of the trees, and the course and force of the water.
It has been observed that settlers are
often preceded in the woods by bees: the vanguard of the farmers, they are
symbols of the civilisation and industry they herald. Strangers to
The clearings on both sides of the road along which I travelled, offered a curious blend of the natural and civilised state. In one corner of a wood which had only ever known the yell of the savage and the calls of wild creatures, one came across a ploughed field; from the same viewpoint one saw an Indian wigwam and a planter's cabin. Some of these cabins, already finished, recalled the neatness of Dutch farm-houses; others only half-complete, had no roof but the sky.
I was received in these dwellings, the result of a morning's work; there I often found a family surround by European elegance: mahogany furniture, a piano, carpets and mirrors, a few paces from an Iroquois hut. In the evening, when the farm-workers had returned from the woods and fields armed with axes and hoes, the windows were opened. My host's daughters, their lovely blonde hair in ringlets, accompanied at the piano would sing the duet from Paisiello's Pandolfetto, or a cantabile by Cimarosa.
In the better districts, small towns were established. The spire of a new church rose from the heart of an old forest. As the English take their customs with them wherever they go, when I had crossed a region without a trace of inhabitants, I would come across an inn-sign swinging from the branch of a tree. Trappers, planters and Indians, met together at these caravanserais: the first time I stayed at one, I swore it would be my last.
On entering one of these hostelries, I stood amazed at the sight of an immense bed, built in a circle round a post: each traveller took his place in this bed, his feet against the post in the middle, his head at the circumference of the circle, so that the sleepers were arranged symmetrically, like the spokes of a wheel or the sticks of a fan. After some hesitation, I climbed into this contraption, since I could see no one else within. I was beginning to doze, when I felt something slide against me: it was the leg of my big Dutchman; I've never in my life experienced a greater sense of horror. I leapt from the hospitable receptacle, cordially cursing the customs of our good forefathers. I went and slept in my cloak in the moonlight: that voyager's bedfellow at least was all sweetness, freshness, and purity.
On the bank of the
London, April to September 1822.
We rode on to Niagara. We were no more than twenty miles or so distant, when we saw, in an oak-grove, the camp-fire of some savages who had halted beside a stream, where we ourselves thought of bivouacking. We profited from their prior efforts: after grooming the horses, and preparing for night, we approached the group. Legs crossed in the manner of tailors, we seated ourselves among the Indians, round the fire, to roast our maize-cakes.
The family comprised two women, two infants at the breast, and three braves. The conversation became general that is to say a great many gestures were interspersed with a few words from me; later they all fell asleep where they were sitting. The only one left awake, I went to sit by myself on a tree root which stretched alongside the stream.
The moon showed above the treetops; a
balmy breeze, which that Queen of the Night brought with her from the Orient,
seemed to precede her through the forest, as if it were her cool breath. The
solitary light rose higher and higher in the sky: now following her course, now
traversing banks of cloud that resembled the summits of some snow-crowned
mountain chain. All would have been silence and peace, but for the fall of a
few leaves, the passage of a sudden breeze, the hooting of a tawny owl; far
off, the dull roar of
Next day, the Indians armed themselves, while the women collected the baggage. I distributed a little gunpowder and some vermilion amongst my hosts. We parted, touching our foreheads and chests. The braves gave out a cry as a signal to march, and set off in front; the women walked behind, carrying children, who, slung in furs from their mothers' backs, turned their heads to look at us. I followed their departure with my eyes, until the whole troupe vanished among the forest trees.
The savages of
London, April to September 1822.
I spent two days in the Indian village, from which I wrote another letter to Monsieur Malesherbes. The Indian women occupied themselves in various tasks; their babies were slung in nets from the branches of a large copper beech. The grass was covered with dew, the breeze emerged from the forest all scented, and the cotton plants, their bolls inverted, resembled white rose-bushes. The breeze rocked the aerial cradles with an almost imperceptible motion; the mothers rose from time to time to see that their children were asleep, and had not been woken by the birds. It was ten miles or so from the Indian village to the falls: it took me and my guide half as many hours to reach them. Already, six miles away, a column of mist indicated the position of the waterfall. My heart beat with joy mingled with terror on entering the wood which hid from view one of the greatest spectacles that Nature has offered mankind.
We dismounted. Leading our horses by
the bridle, we made our way through heaths and copses, to the bank of the
The guide held me fast, for I felt drawn, so to speak, towards the flood, and had an involuntary desire to hurl myself into it. Now I gazed at the river banks upstream, now downstream at an island that separated the waters, and the point where those waters suddenly ceased, as if they had been cut off in mid-air.
After a quarter of an hour of perplexity, and an indefinable admiration, I went on to the falls. You can find the two descriptions of them I have given, in the Essai sur les révolutions, and in Atala. Today, wide highways lead to the cataract; there are inns on the American side, and the British, and mills and factories below the chasm.
I cannot convey the thoughts that stirred in me at the sight of such sublime disorder. In the wildernesses of my early existence, I was forced to invent people to adorn them; I drew from my own substance beings I found nowhere else, that I carried within me. So I placed the remembrances of Atala and René beside Niagara Falls, as if they were an expression of its sadness. What is a cataract, falling eternally beneath the senseless gaze of earth and sky, if human nature is not there with its misfortunes and destiny? To sink into that solitude of water and mountains, and know not whom to tell of that great spectacle! The waves, rocks, woods, torrents there for itself alone! Give the soul a companion, and the smiling finery of the hills, the breath of fresh air from the flood, becomes wholly delightful: the day's travels, the sweetest of rests at the end of the journey, the passage of the waves, sleep on a bed of moss, elicit the deepest tenderness from the heart. I seated Velléda on Armorica's shores; Cymodocée under Athenian porticos; Blanca in the Alhambra's halls. Alexander created cities everywhere he passed: I have left dreams everywhere I have trailed my life.
I have seen the cascades of the
Et praeceps Anio ac Tiburni lucus:
'And swift Anio and the sacred groves of Tibur'
I was holding my horse's bridle twisted round my arm; a rattlesnake started rustling among the bushes. The frightened horse reared and backed towards the falls. I could not free my arm from the reins; the horse ever more terrified, dragged me with him. His forefeet already off the ground, on his haunches at the edge of the abyss, he held position only by the strength of his loins. It was all over with me, when the animal himself astonished by his new peril, pirouetted backwards to safety. Dying in the Canadian woods, would my soul have borne, to the supreme tribunal, sacrifices, good works, virtues like those of Père Jogues and Père Lallemand, or wasted days and wretched fantasies?
This was not the only danger I ran at
London, April to September 1822.
I stayed for twelve days with my doctors, the Indians of Niagara. I saw tribes there who had come from Detroit or from the country to the centre and east of Lake Erie. I enquired about their customs; for a few small gifts I obtained re-enactments of their ancient rites, since the rites themselves scarcely exist now. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the American War of Independence, the savages still ate their prisoners, or rather the dead ones: an English captain, ladling some soup from an Indian woman's cooking pot with a ladle, retrieved a hand.
The Indian customs associated with birth, and death, are the least eroded, since they have not been thoughtlessly lost, like those of the segments of life which separate them; they are not things of passing fashion. In order to honour him, the new-born child still has the most ancient name of his family bestowed upon him; that of his grandmother for instance: since names are always taken from the maternal line. From that moment, the child occupies the place of the woman whose name he has received; in speaking to him, one grants him the status of the relative brought to life again by the name; so an uncle may address his nephew by the title of grand-mother. This custom, laughable thought it may seem, is nevertheless touching. It resurrects the ancient dead; it recreates in the feebleness of the first years of life, the feebleness of the last; it brings together the extremities of life, the beginning and end of a family; it confers a species of immortality on their ancestors and imagines them present in the midst of their descendants.
In what concerns the dead, it is easy to find signs of the savage's attachment to sacred relics. Civilised nations, in order to preserve their country's memories, have the mnemonics of writing and the arts; they have cities, palaces, spires, columns, obelisks; they have the marks of the plough on once-cultivated fields; their names are cut in bronze and marble, their actions recorded in their histories.
Nothing of that appertains to the
peoples of the wilderness: their names are not written on the trees; their
huts, built in a few hours, vanish in a moment; the sticks with which they
labour barely scratch the earth, and cannot even raise a furrow. Their
traditional songs die with the last memory that retains them, vanishing with
the last voice that repeats them. The tribes of the
I wished to hear the songs of my hosts. A little fourteen-year old Indian girl, called Mila, a very pretty girl (Indian women are only pretty at that age) sang something quite delightful. Was this not the very couplet cited by Montaigne? 'Adder stay now! Stay now, Adder, so my sister may take from the pattern of your markings, the embroidery and style of a fine belt I may give my beloved: so shall your beauty and decoration be preferred forever above all other snakes.'

Canadians are no longer such as were described by Cartier,
La Hontan,
Charlevoix and the
Lettres édifiantes: the
sixteenth century and the start of the seventeenth century were still an era of
powerful imagination and simple customs; the wonder of the former reflected
virgin nature, and the candour of the latter recreated the simplicity of the
savage. Champlain, at the finish of his first voyage to
The savage population of North America, not including the Mexicans or Eskimos, comprises today no more than four hundred thousand souls, on both sides of the Rocky Mountains; travellers even put it as low as a hundred and fifty thousand. The decline of Indian customs has gone hand in hand with the depopulation of the tribes. Their religious traditions have become confused; the instruction spread by Canadian Jesuits has mingled foreign ideas with the native ideas of the indigenous peoples: one finds, in their crude fables, Christian beliefs disfigured; most of the savages wear a cross as an ornament, and the protestant traders sell them what the Catholic missionaries give them. Let me say, to the honour of our country and the glory of our religion, that the Indians are strongly attached to us; that they never cease to mourn our absence, and that a robe noire (a black robe, a missionary) is still the subject of veneration in the American forests. The savage continues to love us beneath the trees where we were his first guests, on the soil we have trodden, and where we have consigned to him our graves.
When the Indian was naked, or dressed in skins, he had something great and noble about him; in our time, European rags, without covering his nakedness, are a witness to his wretchedness: he is a beggar at the inn-door, no longer a savage in the forest.
In the end, an intermediate race, the Métis, formed, born of colonists and Indian women. These men, nicknamed Boisbrûlés(Burntwoods), because of the colour of their skin, are the exchange-brokers between the creators of their twin origin. Speaking the languages of both their fathers and their mothers, they possess the vices of both races. These bastards of a civilised and a savage nature, sell themselves now to the Americans, now to the English, so that they might grant them the fur monopoly; they fuel the rivalry between the English Hudson's Bay and North West companies, and the American companies, Columbian-American Fur, Missouri Fur and the rest: they hunt themselves, as paid specialists, and with the hunters paid by the companies.

Speaking of Canada and Louisiana, or looking, on the old maps, at the extent of the former French colonies in America, I have asked myself how the government of my country could have allowed those colonies to perish, that today would have been an inexhaustible source of prosperity for us.
From Acadia and Canada to Louisiana, from the mouth of the St Lawrence to that of the Mississippi, the territory of New France surrounded that which formed the confederation of the first thirteen united states: eleven others, with the district of Columbia, the territory of Michigan, the North-West, Missouri, Oregon and Arkansas, belonged to us, or would have belonged to us, as they do belong to the United States after their transfer by the English and Spanish, our successors in Canada and Louisiana. The region between the Atlantic to the north-east, the Arctic Sea to the north, the Pacific Ocean and the Russian possessions to the north-west, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, that is to say more than two thirds of North America, acknowledged French law,
I fear that the Restoration has simply lost its way among ideas contrary to those which I express here: its obsession with holding onto the past, an obsession which I never ceased to oppose, would not have been a disaster if it had merely overthrown me by removing a prince's favour from me; but it might in fact overthrow the throne. Stasis is impossible in politics; power must advance with human intelligence. Let us respect the greatness of time; let us contemplate with veneration the flow of the centuries, made sacred by the memory and footsteps of our forefathers; however let us not try to progress backwards towards them, because they no longer possess anything of our real being, and if we attempt to seize them, they vanish. The Chapter of Notre Dame d'Aix-la-Chapelle opened Charlemagne's tomb, they say, around 1450. They found the emperor seated on a golden chair, holding in his skeletal hands the Book of the Gospels written in letters of gold: before him were set his sceptre and his shield of gold; at his side was his sword Joyeuse, sheathed in a golden scabbard. He was dressed in Imperial robes. On his head, which a gold chain held upright, was a veil that covered what had been his face, surmounted by a crown. They touched the phantom; it fell to dust. We owned vast countries overseas: they offered a refuge for our excess population, a market for our trade, a source of supply for our navy. We are excluded from a new universe, where the human race is starting again: the English, Portuguese, and Spanish languages serve, in Africa, Asia, Oceania, the South Sea Islands, and on the continent of the two Americas, to convey the thoughts of many millions of men; while we, disinherited of the conquests achieved by our courage and our genius, are at pains to hear the language of Colbert and Louis XIV spoken in some little town of Louisiana and Canada, under foreign domination: it remains only as a witness to our reverses of fortune, and our political mistakes.
And who is the king whose power now replaces that of the King of France in the Canadian forests? He who long ago had this note penned to me:
Monsieur Le Vicomte,
I am commanded by the King to invite Your Excellency to dine and stay overnight here on this Tuesday 6th.
Your very humble and very obedient servant,
Francis Conyngham
It was my destiny to be tormented by princes. I broke off; I re-crossed the Atlantic once more; I restored the arm broken at Niagara; I stripped myself of my bearskin; I put on my gilded vestments again; I returned from an Iroquois wigwam to the Royal Lodge of his Britannic Majesty, monarch of three united kingdoms, and Emperor of India; I left behind my hosts with pierced ears and the little beaded native girl; wishing Lady Conyngham the sweetness of Mila, and her years which still belong only to the earliest moment of spring, to those days which precede the May month, and which our Gallic poets call l'Avrillée.

1 1/2 cups
fresh or frozen broccoli flowerets

fresh or frozen cauliflowerets

carrots, cut into 2-inch strips

3/4 cup
2 tablespoons
Dijon-style mustard
1/8 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
This was weird, but oddly enough a few family members liked it. It has a really strong mustard taste, so you may want to adjust the amount to taste. I found the sauce a little gloppy and thick. I wouldn't make it again.

Tuesday Top Ten -- ten to watch for in 2010
Tue, 12 Jan 2010 05:42
Today's Tuesday Top Ten is a list of the top ten forthcoming books that I'm looking forward to seeing land on my desk in the next few weeks or so...
Whoops!: Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay by John Lanchester
Novelist John Lanchester has a go at explaining the credit crunch, the differences between CDOs, CDSs and MBSs, and all the rest of the crazy economic stuff that seems both vital to our lives and, yet, strangely distant from them.
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
Novelist Foer presents the "gut-wrenching truth about the price paid by the environment, the government, the Third World and the animals themselves in order to put meat on our tables more quickly and conveniently than ever before."
Point Omega by Don Delillo
Don Delillo, one of the modern masters of the American novel, is back: "In the middle of a desert 'somewhere south of nowhere', to a forlorn house made of metal and clapboard, a secret war adviser has gone in search of space and time. Richard Elster, seventy-three, was a scholar -- an outsider -- when he was called to a meeting with government war planners. For two years he tried to make intellectual sense of the troop deployments, counterinsurgency, orders for rendition. He was to map the reality these men were trying to create..."
Gandhi by Jad Adams
I'm excited about this one, and told: "This new biography not only traces the outline of an extraordinary life with exemplary clarity, but also examines why Mahatma Gandhi and his teachings are still profoundly relevant today."
This Party's Got to Stop by Rupert Thomson
Excellent novelist Rupert Thomson turns his hand to what looks like it might be the stand-out memoir of the coming year: "On a warm, sunny day in July 1964, Thomson returned home from school to discover that his mother had died suddenly while playing tennis. Twenty years later, Thomson and his brothers get word that their father has died alone in hospital. This title works Thomson's memories into a mosaic that reveals the fragility of family life in graphic detail."
Van Gogh: His Life and Work by Tim Hilton
The first definitive and full biography of Vincent van Gogh -- the man as well as the artist: "Vincent van Gogh is one of the world's greatest artists. He produced almost 2,000 paintings, drawings and watercolours within a ten-year period. Yet until now no definitive biography of him has ever been written, the truth of his life overshadowed by the myth that has surrounded him since his suicide."
What Darwin Got Wrong by Jerry Fodor
I have not time whatsoever for Creationist or Intelligent Design arguments, but I'm led to believe that Fodor is doing something more interesting here with a book that promises to reveals "major flaws at the heart of Darwinian evolutionary theory." There should be a lot of debate when this lands...
Parrot and Olivier in America by Peter Carey
Carey is back: "Olivier is a French aristocrat, the traumatized child of survivors of the Revolution. Parrot the son of an itinerant printer who always wanted to be an artist but has ended up a servant. Born on different sides of history, their lives will be brought together by their travels in America. When Olivier sets sail for the New World, ostensibly to study its prisons but in reality to save his neck from one more revolution -- Parrot is sent with him, as spy, protector, foe and foil."
The Wrecking Light by Robin Robertson
Robin Robertson's fourth collection is, if anything, an "even more intense, moving, bleakly lyrical, and at times shocking book than Swithering, winner of the Forward Prize. These poems are written with the authority of classical myth, yet sound utterly contemporary: the poet's gaze -- whether on the natural world or the details of his own life - is unflinching and clear, its utter seriousness leavened by a wry, dry and disarming humour..."
Chopin by Adam Zamoyski
A completely new edition of the definitive biography of Chopin, unavailable for many years, by one of the finest of contemporary European historians. "Two centuries have passed since Chopin's birth, yet his legacy is all around us today. The quiet revolution he wrought influenced the development of Western music profoundly, and he is still probably the most widely studied and revered composer..."

Comments Thread For: Kal Yafai: Whatever Hearn Throws at Me, I'll Take It
HOT prospect Kal Yafai is a man in a hurry as he bids to become Britains best bantamweight.
Yafai has seven straight wins as a pro and Birminghams rising star is aiming to land the British title within the next 12 months.
His latest win came when Mexican opponent Gonzalo Garcia failed to come out for the fifth round last week and he is now being lined up for a busy year.

He should fight Martin Ward next, maybe a couple of eight-rounders after that, and then towards the end of the year target Haskins and then Jamoye for the European title. Yafai is going places.

Josh Wale looks a good fight at some point for Yafai though I'd stay away from Jamoye for the time being, the Belgian is probably a bit too good for the next 12 months.
Yafai though should be looking to moving in to the world rankings. It's perhaps a shame that Bantamweight it's self, especially at world level, is very tough with Yamanaka, Moreno, Santa Cruz (even if he's not staying their for long), Ruiz, Kameda, Singyu and Rungvisai. Even on the fringes of world level you have guys like Iwasa, Ceja, Santillan, Demecillo.
Yafai can run to through the British level guys, and maybe even get close to Jamaoye by the end of the year, but let him walk when he reaches European level and not run or he'll end up coming undone against an opponent with the experience to punish his mistakes.
Iron lungs
I like the look of Yafai but I'm still not completely sold on him.

Difficult to match at the moment I suppose.
But he probably could go up to British and European level very quickly. Otherwise he is just knocking people over fairly easily.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2011 A week after Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates' visit to Tokyo to discuss a broad range of issues including the realignment roadmap for U.S. forces based in Japan, Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa traveled to Okinawa yesterday to build support for the plan.
Kitazawa also toured Kadena Air Base, where he got a mission update from Air Force Brig. Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach, the 18th Wing commander, and thanked U.S. service members for their role in regional security, base officials reported.
Kitazawa recognized the support Kadena's airmen contribute, both operationally and through the base's community relations activities.
He also emphasized the importance of Japan and the United States working together to build better understanding among the Okinawan people about the importance of Kadena's presence.
Wilsbach described base leaders' regular engagement with the local community and ongoing efforts to build trust and understanding, officials said.
Also, making good on the pledge he and Gates made last week to move forward on the bilateral agreement to relocate Marine Corps Air Station Futenma to a less-populated part of Okinawa, Kitazawa met with Okinawa Gov. Hirokazu Nakaima and community members to help in overcoming local resistance, Japanese defense officials reported.
"The realignment roadmap is important," Gates said during a Jan. 13 news conference in Tokyo. "We do understand that it is politically a complex matter in Japan, and we intend to follow the lead of the Japanese government in working with the people of Okinawa to take their interests and their concerns into account."
Gates said his talks with Kitazawa helped to pave the way for relocating U.S. forces in Okinawa "in ways that are more appropriate to our strategic posture while reducing the impact on the communities nearby."
The secretary underscored the changes the realignment plan will bring to Okinawa.
"Thousands and thousands of United States Marines and their dependents will depart the island," he said. "Significant land and facilities will return to the people of Okinawa. The U.S. presence will be less visible on the island. So there are very real benefits to people of Okinawa in this realignment roadmap."
Gates emphasized the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance, which he said "is broader, deeper and indeed richer than any single issue."
Japanese Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara told a news conference today that he, too, plans to visit Okinawa before the month's end to build support for relocating Futenma within Okinawa.

In all, Firefight contains ten maps (two are featured twice as night and day versions with slightly varied ingredients), and three of the ten are unlocked through campaign progression; though anyone can play on a locked map, so long as the match host has unlocked it. Likewise, except for the Rookie, character skins are unlocked through campaign play. (Sgt. Johnson will be a bonus skin for ODST pre-orderers.) Firefight lives on the campaign disc (separate from "vanilla" Halo 3 multiplayer; contained on a second disc), and players are bound to the limitations of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper: non-rechargeable health, no dual-wielding, and so on. You're no Spartan.
%Gallery-72910% Played on Heroic difficulty, as I recently chose, Firefight is an often quick, but engaging experience that benefits from varying enemy AI and seven "skull" modifiers activated as players progress through waves of attacks; for example, at the start of Round 3, the "Black Eye" skull is activated, requiring players to melee enemies to regain stamina (normally auto-recharging). With these various factors at work against me, surviving to the end of even the first round (after five waves) felt like an achievement.
And what was the group reaction to reaching the end of the first set (after three rounds and fifteen waves)? I wouldn't know. Even with a Bungie level designer on our side, we never made it that far.
The average Firefight match length probably resides in the five- to ten-minute range if you're playing on a difficulty setting that's challenging for your squad's skill level (some folks could survive much longer) -- but remember, the team shares a single pool of lives (though everyone respawns after a wave is completed, even when you've exhausted your extra lives). The Heroic setting was the sweet spot for my crew, and I found Firefight most satisfying when played in two to three matches per sitting. It's a diversion -- a fervid skirmish -- and not the slow-burning, hypnotic experience that turns a night into dawn. I can only imagine how potent this slice of Halo would be if broken out and sold, say, as a $10–15 dollar XBLA game.
My initial curiosity was dashed when I realized that all of Firefights' maps were trimmed out of the campaign I had already completed. I was disappointed that I'd been denied the exploratory element of stepping into a wholly new multiplayer environment for the first time. Within seconds though, that idea was swept away by the first wave of Grunts, Jackals and Brutes. The stimuli are the varying group strategies that must be developed and executed to survive, if only for several minutes, on each map.
What I discovered is that the Firefight areas are subtly different from the same death traps you knowingly step into during the campaign. All manner of Covenant creep, drop and stampede from numerous entry points; bases provide refreshments,
A new canvas for mythic players to paint their best stuff.
Alpha Site, inside the ONI facility, has a deceptively simple blueprint. Shaped like a "Y," waves of Covenant are dropped off at either the left or right upper points where your squad can split up and meet them, using structural pillars as cover, or you can fall back and let enemies pour into the natural choke point formed at the base of the enemy entrance routes. At the bottom of the "Y" is your base -- a dead end.
The "Night" version of Crater is a classic, circular arena (in the campaign, the site of your captain's drop pod) and the darkness allows the use of the VISR; a vision mode I'd mostly forgotten about in Firefight since it's utterly useless in sunlit maps. While the VISR eliminates some of the difficulty of fighting in the dark by highlighting enemies in red, friendlies in green and usable weapons in yellow, the night beckons a tougher breed of Covenant and the appearance of mass overshield–generating Engineers. (Protip: Kill those floating sacks with the quickness.)
Rally Point, the entrance to the ONI facility, is another circular map, with bridges and other architecture that create layered elements and cluster points. Security Zone, one step closer to the interior of the facility, is an uphill courtyard dotted with turret-equipped terraces -- just be mindful not to expose yourself to the Phantom dropships' cannons and the Wraith tank's "hadouken" blasts.
The remainder of the maps, which have yet to be publicly revealed, introduces other nuances to Firefight. In all, there's still a singular and unchanging objective: kill or be killed; but differences in scale and battle-flow design should give Firefight some longevity if Bungie sticks to its current "no DLC planned" line -- but, man, how I'd love to see some "non-canonical" maps populated by Elites or (dare I regret mention of) the Flood. Firefight has legs, too, in its competitive scoring element (there's an individual score, as well as the team total) complete with numerous medals, stats and Achievements to attract those who continue to grind their way up the community ranks. And surely, Firefight presents a new canvas for mythic players to paint their best stuff with video support to prove it.
Firefight boils down to ... actually, it boils down core Halo gameplay into quickly digested servings. The mode is a demonstration of how expertly programmed the foundation is: I retreat into the base to retrieve an SMG, and from the doorway peer out to mow down a swarm of Drones that has decimated my exposed squadmate; and then suddenly I'm trapped, with a useless weapon, as a Hunter charges and shatters my safe zone. There's no fail-safe strategy. Firefight, like pure Halo, is a game of constant adaptation.

Meaning & Origins
English form of the name of the Christian evangelist, author of the first gospel in the New Testament.

In the Authorized Version, the evangelist is regularly referred to as Matthew, while the apostle chosen to replace Judas Iscariot is distinguished as Matthias.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2000 Pentagon leaders and top commanders around the world talked force protection for more than an hour during an Oct. 26 video teleconference.
Defense Secretary William S. Cohen and Army Gen. Henry H. Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the conference call to ensure commanders are reviewing force protection measures and making any necessary changes.
The goal is to "make a good system better," Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon said during a news briefing.
Cohen frequently makes video conference calls, Bacon noted, but they normally involve fewer people. "But this is an important issue and everybody sees it as an important issue," he told Pentagon reporters. "They did before the call, and they did certainly after the call."
U.S. forces in the Middle East and Turkey are currently on alert for possible terrorism in the wake of the Oct. 12 suicide bombing of the USS Cole. Military officials have declared Threat Condition Delta, the highest level, in Bahrain and Qatar.
The military's four threat levels, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta, each bear a set of increasingly restrictive security precautions. Threat Condition Delta is normally declared as a localized warning when a terrorist attack has occurred or intelligence indicates likely terrorist action against a specific location.
About 1,100 U.S. service members are in Bahrain and about 50 are in Qatar. About 280 U.S. personnel are on the ground in Aden, Yemen, and another 540 are aboard ships in the area. In all, about 20,000 service members are stationed in the Central Command area of responsibility, which covers 25 countries from the Horn of Africa and Egypt eastward through the Arabian Peninsula into Southwest and Central Asia.
About 7,000 American military personnel and family members are in Turkey. U.S. forces there are part of European Command.
The Cole tragedy in Aden, Yemen, that killed 17 sailors and injured 38, Bacon said, has generated concern and heightened awareness on U.S. bases around the world.
"I think there is wide appreciation throughout the military, from the newest private to the most senior admiral, that the Pentagon has done an awful lot since Khobar Towers in 1996, and that force protection is atop everybody's list of priorities," he said. "But it doesn't mean that there aren't ways to improve protection and the point of this conference call was to focus on some of those steps that can be taken."
Following the June 25, 1996, Khobar Towers bombing in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, that left 19 American airmen dead and about 500 others injured, defense officials launched a vigorous campaign to safeguard U.S. service members. An independent review board concluded DoD needed more money and people, better intelligence and advanced technology for force protection.
The conference call was very useful, Bacon noted, because the commanders, as well as the service secretaries and chiefs, got to hear other commanders were doing, and they were also able to bring up common concerns. Regional commanders from European, Central, Pacific, and Southern Commands and the commander of U.S. forces in Korea were on line. The chiefs of the military's functional commands -- Strategic, Special Operations, Joint Forces, Transportation and Space commands -- also participated in the discussions, he said.
The Pentagon leaders gave some specific directions and then the commanders "reported actions they are taking, actions they plan to take and actions that would be worthwhile to take in the future," he said. They also discussed the need to acquire the latest technology for force protection, detection and perimeter defense, Bacon said.
"That's something we've devoted a lot of time to, a lot of money," he noted, "but we have some other projects in the pipeline. They could be accelerated over time."
Commanders' also discussed the need for more money for force protection, he said, adding that enhanced force protection obviously will require greater resources.
Secretary Cohen does not believe one can be overzealous in pursuit of force protection, but it must be kept in context, Bacon said. U.S. forces have a worldwide mission that will not be deterred by the threat of terrorism. "We need to remain forward-deployed," he said.
"Our ships will be at sea. Our soldiers will be exercising around the world. Our airmen will be flying. Our Marines will be deployed in their amphibious ready groups, and the Coast Guard also will continue to patrol sea lanes around the world.
The world is a dangerous place and America's service members face threats every day, he said. "Given that we are a power with worldwide responsibilities, we have to figure out how best to deploy in ways that reduce the risks our troops face.
While you may never reach "a perfect level of force protection," he said, "it's something for which you always strive."

Hello friends, pls i need someone who can give me a practical guide on how to implement @media query for about two screen resolutions: largest and smallest.
I want a situation where if one resizes his browser window to the bear less minimum, the browser will still not have a horizontal scroll. But when zoomed out to lowest percentage with ctrl minus, the font sizes and any other will take on the style of the min-width:2400px, which will make everything readable.
I tried only for the 320px, it worked fine. But when zoomed out, the text becomes unreadable. So I now used min-width:2400px to style the page by increasing the font size, margins and paddings. It looked great. But when I now zoomed in to return to the normal 100% window resolution, the font of min-width:2400px refused to change. I want the page to return to the default style set in the css.
Check the[ codepen.](http://codepen.io/anon/pen/IehuE "")
thank u pls.
Zooming is **not** the same as re-sizing the browser and is (as far as I know) unaffected by media queries.
You can make MQ work with zooming by using ems though!
Except you need to refresh the page to make it work.
Check this [codepen](http://codepen.io/alex13/full/IehuE "") and try zooming out.
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve.
Either you want media queries which re-size the text based on the **width of the browser window** OR you want the text to stay the same size when zooming.
The two aren't the same….apart from @CrocoDillons point.
I want a media query that will re-size the text based on the width of browser window.
Help me.
Well I have given you a link. I suggest you do some reading rather than get us to do it for you.
Once again, and only to say again what @Paulie_D said twice: **zooming is not the same as resizing the browser**. You cannot detect user's zoom (which is in most cases 100%).
If you try to reproduce a smartphone view by zooming, you're gonna have a bad time.
Here….if you can't get it after this…then I can't help any further.
Thanks @Paulie_D, I have got it.

By: John Doetkott
(ABC 6 News) -- When icy roads caused a large milk truck to slide off the road near Elkton on Tuesday morning, it spilled nearly 6,000 gallons of milk, snapped several trees, and downed nearby power lines in the process.
But while utility workers responded quickly to clear the danger, a different threat was slowly seeping into the stream.
The milk, although an organic compound, could prove deadly for the surrounding wildlife.
"It strips water out of the water column so that the fish either have to leave or suffocate," said David Morrison, an emergency responder with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. "It also kills the oxygen so that the bugs and the critters living in the bottom of the stream also die."
Morrison and another pollution control worker were out Wednesday afternoon taking samples and monitoring oxygen levels in the stream. But with the water still flowing beneath the ice, the danger isn't only to wildlife living near the site of the crash.
"So far we've followed the milk about, just shy of two miles downstream," Morrison said.
Thankfully the cold temperatures froze much of the spill in place, which could help avoid a major fish kill.
"With the cold that's probably not going to happen for a while, but we want to keep our eye on it anyway to make sure we don't have a stress to the stream," Morrison said.
Experts say the best thing they can do right now is to make sure the water flow remains open, to hopefully dilute the milk and minimize the damage.
Officials said they will continue to monitor the stream's oxygen levels over the coming weeks as they work to reduce the damage as much as possible.

To help college football fans get through the dog days of summer before conference media days launch the preseason festivities in mid-July, The Post and Courier is counting down the 12 most important South Carolina Gamecocks and 12 most important Clemson Tigers for 2013. The series continues today with No. 9 for each team and will conclude with the No. 1 players on July 7.
Position: Right tackle
Year: Sophomore
Height/weight: 6-6/321
Hometown: Goose Creek
Last year: Started the opener at left tackle and the final nine games at right tackle.
SOUTH CAROLINA'S No. 9
Position: Offensive lineman
Year: Junior
Height/weight: 6-6/310
Hometown: Middletown, Del.
Last year: Made 11 starts at right tackle, missed Furman game in week three and left Chick-fil-A Bowl with injury.
The Goose Creek High graduate began 2012 as the starting left tackle, and spent just one game there before being removed from the starting lineup for three games, returning as the starting right tackle in Week 4 and spending the rest of the season in that role.
Shell will be a third-year sophomore in 2013, and this is the season when he can show significant progress. He has all the physical tools. He is 6-6 and 321 pounds, with the long reach required of elite tackles. Coming out of high school, he was the No. 4 tackle nationally in his class and the No. 66 overall recruit, according to Rivals.
Pass blocking has been an adjustment for him in college, because Goose Creek primarily ran the ball. Moreover, offensive line coach Shawn Elliott determined early last season that Shell was more comfortable playing right tackle than left tackle, the protector of a right-handed quarterback's blind side (and both Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson are righties). Shell was always a right tackle, until last season. So he is just more comfortable on the right side.
After the first three weeks of 2012, the previously rarely used Corey Robinson started every game but one at left tackle. He will be a junior in 2013. Robinson is a fine player, but there is no doubt that Shell has more upside.
If Robinson can hold up on the left side, and Shell is able to stay at home on the right side and continue to develop as a pass blocker, the Gamecocks stand a chance to improve their pass protection – a critical storyline to watch this season. Last season, they ranked 110th of 124 teams nationally with 38 sacks allowed.
COMING SUNDAY: Gamecocks' No. 8 most important player.
CLEMSON'S No. 9
Interesting statistic from the Clemson football files: the squad has won 76 percent of its games in years with at least four returning offensive line starters. (The program has won 57 percent of its overall games, for perspective.) Seeing as Brandon Thomas and Gifford Timothy return at the tackles, and David Beasley and Tyler Shatley are back at guard, that could give the Tigers their complete starting lineup sans center Dalton Freeman from the entire ACC slate and Chick-fil-A Bowl. There's still some competition to sort out – does Kalon Davis take over from Beasley at left guard? Does Isaiah Battle factor in at some point? – but continuity and chemistry are everything to coach Robbie Caldwell's big uglies.
You know what you're getting out of Thomas: an All-American effort from a guy who if healthy will keep Tajh Boyd's backside clean. The real fear for opponents is if a second dominant tackle emerges. (Remember when Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews resembled a shark-infested moat around some guy named Johnny Manziel?) Now, when Thomas got hurt in the first quarter of the bowl game, Battle held his own against LSU's first-round NFL defensive end talents. So the onus is on Timothy to keep Battle just where he is: a hot prospect in waiting.
COMING SUNDAY: Tigers' No. 8 most important player.

NIKE EYBL Session 2Boo Williams Day III overall record of 4 and 5
NIKE EYBL Session #2
With forty teams fighting to make it to the Peach Jam competition is getting stiff. ICP Elite finished the second session of the NIKE EYBL league with an over all record of four wins and five losses. Although this was not ICP Elites best showing they are my no means out of the picture as far as legue standings go. nbebasketball.coms Brian Bosworth a National Recruiting Analyst published an article/player review about EYBL Session number two. In the review he mentioned ICP Elite's own Kameron Chatman, you can check out an excerpt of the article below.

May 1, 2012 By Brian Bosworth, National Recruiting Analyst
The Boo Williams Invitational wrapped up on Sunday and with it concluded the second session of Nikes EYBL circuit. Unlike the majority of AAU tournaments Sunday is not playoff day at Boo Williams but rather just continued EYBL regular season play as all 40 teams are competing for spots in Julys Peach Jam. Star performances showed up in droves just as they had on the first two days. Below are a sampling of the best showings NBE has the pleasure of viewing.
Kameron Chatman (ICP Elite 2014) Listed as a combo forward Chatman played the role of point guard primarily in the game I saw and netted major positive results. His length and handle running the show at 66 make him a very difficult cover as he best in screen/roll when lumbering defenders couldnt stay with him. Chatmans eventual position is still in question but after Sundays performance his status as at least a mid major player certainly is not.

Lexington Cracks Down on Graffiti
Officials say a police task force focused on curbing graffiti in Lexington is a success. Community leaders gathered at Woodland Park Monday afternoon to announce the arrests of several people on vandalism charges."Within the first three weeks of the task force, with all the task force members working very hard, we identified most of the graffiti in the city of Lexington to six people," says police officer Ricky Lynn. The task force documented more than $32,000 in damage to city and private property. Some of the offenders are doing community service and painting over the graffiti.

It could be a hardware issue. Have you verified that the headphone output works using a liveCD? Also, have you tried a second pair of headphones?I'm multibooting with Windows and there it seems to be working fine. I sadly don't have a second pair, but i've verified that these work both with my other computer and on windows on the laptop, should i try to get a hold of some others anyway?2Ma (HowTos)
