Truman Capote's ground-breaking "non-fiction" novel about the murder of a Kansas farm family. We take the position that the book is not only flawed, but dishonest.
by J.J. Maloney
The publication of In Cold Blood, in 1966, launched Truman Capote firmly into the top rank of American writers. It was – and is – widely heralded as a masterpiece -- not only a masterpiece of writing, but as a brilliant insight into the criminal mind.
After publication of the book, Capote told George Plimpton, in an interview for the New York Times published in January, 1966, that he had been watching for an event that would allow him to write a "non-fiction" novel – in his definition, a factual book written using the literary skills of an accomplished novelist.
The murder of the Herbert Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas, on Nov. 15, 1959, caught Capote's eye. The case received a blurb in the New York Times because Herbert Clutter, during the Eisenhower administration, had been a member of the Farm Credit Board, and was founder of the Kansas Wheat Growers Association.
The murders were brutal, unsolved, and apparently without motivation, since nothing appeared to be missing from the house.
Three days later, on assignment from the New Yorker, Capote arrived in Kansas with Harper Lee in tow. Lee, a childhood friend of Capote's, had just completed her first (and only published) novel, To Kill A Mockingbird (which would win the Pulitzer Prize). Lee had some time to kill, so she'd agreed to help her old friend.
Although widely known now, Capote wasn't nearly as well known in 1959. Prior to going to Kansas, Capote had achieved literary celebrity with, at age 23, his first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). The young Capote, only five foot four, was openly – some would say outrageously -- gay at a time when other gay writers chose the security of the closet. He went to Europe for some time and, by 1954 he had achieved sufficient recognition – and social connections -- to co-write, with John Huston, the film Beat the Devil (Humphrey Bogart). In 1958 he published the celebrated Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958). But as the New York Times said in Capote's obituary in 1984: "…the book that perhaps solidified his claim to literary fame was In Cold Blood, his detailed, painstakingly researched and chilling account of the 1959 slaying of a Kansas farm family and the capture, trial and execution of the two killers."
The book concerned two Kansas petty thieves, Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, who'd known each other at Lansing Penitentiary. Not much is known about Hickock in prison, other than he kept his nose clean. Smith, on the other hand, dabbled at painting and had artistic aspirations. A charcoal drawing of Christ, done by Smith on a bed sheet, hung for 25 years in prison chaplain James Post's Kansas City, Kansas, church.
Hickock had heard from a fellow convict about a wealthy farmer, Herbert Clutter, in Holcomb, Kansas, who allegedly kept $5,000 in a safe in his house. This convict had worked for Clutter 10 years earlier.
After getting out of prison, Smith and Hickock met in Kansas City while Smith was trying to look up a homosexual friend from prison. The night before the murders they visited Rev. Post at his home. They were looking for an ex-con who'd been Post's clerk at the prison, but Post didn't know where the man was. Post would say later that, had he been able to connect Smith and Hickock with his ex-clerk, the murders might not have occurred.
The next day, almost broke, Hickock and Smith drove to Holcomb to rob Herbert Clutter.
According to Capote – and virtually everything we know about the interactions of Smith and Hickock comes from Capote – Hickock had been bragging continuously about how he was going to splatter the walls with hair, how he was going to massacre the Clutter family.
At the Clutter residence, late that night – after cutting the telephone line – Hickock and Smith confronted the family – one by one – and each was tied up, with some pains made to make them comfortable. The clutter son, 15-year-old Kenyon, was tied up and laid on a sofa in the basement, where his father was also tied up. Bonnie Clutter and 16-year-old daughter Nancy were tied up in separate beds. Herbert Clutter was taken to the basement and tied up, but Smith placed a cardboard pallet under his head.
The seminal event leading to murder, according to Capote, was when Perry Smith walked into 16-year-old Nancy Clutter's room, and found Hickock trying to have sex with the girl. Smith, at that time, pressed Hickock on the issue of killing the Clutters, but Hickock, for all of his prior tough talk, wasn't up to it.
Smith went to the basement, where Herbert Clutter was laying tied, and shoved a knife through Mr. Clutter's throat. One by one, Perry Smith then murdered each member of the Clutter family. Although Capote implied in the book that Hickock may have killed two of the Clutters, he later conceded that Smith killed all of them. Capote attributed Smith's actions to a period of dissociation – that he was subconsciously striking out at "them," them being whoever his subconscious blamed for his miserable life.
There was no cache of money. The killers got away with less than $50 and a small, portable radio.
According to Capote, the crime was the brainchild of Hickock. In fact, Capote told Plimpton that one of Hickock's prime motivations in going to the Clutter farm was that Hickock wanted to rape 16-year-old Nancy Clutter (whom he'd never seen).
However, early on I'd like to raise the question of Capote's basic honesty in writing this book. He set out to write a masterpiece, yet he took no notes. He recounts lengthy, complex conversations – sans notes.
Capote told Plimpton that he had trained himself to do this – that, for a year and a half prior to embarking on the book, he had a friend read passages from a book to him, for an hour or two a day, then he would write down what he had heard – and in his estimation he had a unique facility for accurately remembering interviews, with an accuracy quotient of 95 percent. Which any newspaper reporter can tell you is horse feathers.
Capote, who never finished high school, also had no training whatever as a journalist. He told Plimpton that the process of taking notes – or tape recording an interview – would change the parameters of the interview itself. That people would become self-conscious. All of which is true – but none of which has prevented trained journalists the world over, for as long as there have been newspapers, from religiously taking notes during interviews.
The reasons are simple. During an interview the attention leaps from one revelation to another – one "fact" to another – so that, by the conclusion of the interview, you have often covered much ground, with the interview taking twists and turns. To say that you can go back to your room and, verbatim, regurgitate that interview is to deceive yourself.
On those occasions where a journalist finds himself unexpectedly in a conversation that divulges important information – he might later, better sooner than later – write down what he remembers of the conversation. He might have a vivid memory of some isolated quote or two, because the quotes were so memorable, for instance, but for the most part he can only paraphrase what he remembers.
That is the first problem with the book. However, choosing to concede the accuracy of much of the book – those portions dealing with the details of the murders, the flight of the killers, the capture of the killers and their trial – we come to the most troublesome aspects of the book, the motivation for the murders and the intellectual integrity of the author.
Throughout the book we are struck by the intimacies of thought between Hickock and Smith. Although having killed four people, Smith is portrayed as the gentler, more passive of the two – Capote calls him a dreamer and an artist.
Capote denied, adamantly, that Smith was a homosexual, or even a jailhouse punk (the passive member in a prison sexual relationship). Capote said that Smith, prior to getting out of prison, had had a deep, loving relationship with another con, but that it was never consummated physically.
He also denied there had ever been a sexual relationship between Hickock and Smith – partly, in Capote's estimation, because Hickock was a lady's man, and a strong masculine type.
Capote thoroughly misunderstood the dynamics of prison sexuality. It is not uncommon in prison for some thoroughly tough, thoroughly masculine convict to have a "punk" – someone who satisfies his sexual needs.
It is also not uncommon for such men to get out of prison and revert to strict heterosexuality. It's known as "situational homosexuality" – to be found in prison, or other places where men find themselves in a monosexual society for long periods of time. In fact, many 'punks' revert to heterosexuality upon their release from prison.
Based on the facts as we know them, it is more likely than not that Smith and Hickock had a physical homosexual relationship at some point.
There are certain tip-offs to this: a) Smith's furor at catching Hickock trying to have sex with Nancy Clutter; b) Smith's great discomfort in Mexico, while Hickock was having sex with a prostitute (an activity Smith chose to forego); c) Smith's fury toward Capote (as related to Plimpton) over Capote sending girlie magazines to Hickock on death row.
Over and over, Capote interprets these actions by Smith as a puritanical streak, or moralizing as Capote put it. The more obvious interpretation, the one Capote shied desperately away from, was that Smith, having been Hickock's lover, was jealous.
And, somewhere along the way, Capote fell in love with Perry Smith – the little bow-legged con (his legs were so short that when he sat in a chair, his feet dangled above the floor), with good looks and an artistic bent, who had lived a damaged life and yearned for love. This is everywhere evidenced by Capote's determined effort to portray Smith sympathetically (at the expense of Hickock), even though Smith personally – and alone -- slaughtered the Clutters.
There have been allegations that Capote paid money to death row guards at Lansing, so he could be let into Smith's cell to have sex with the convict.
Harold Nye, former assistant director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, has claimed the KBI received information that Capote paid $10,000 to death row guards to be let into Smith's cell. Charles D. McAtee, a Kansas lawyer who was director of the Kansas penal system when Hickock and Smith were hanged, adamantly denies this allegation, saying it's not possible.
McAtee says the death row cells were open faced, with plywood partitions between them.
I tend to agree with McAtee – that the guards did not let Capote into Smith's cell to have sex. They didn't have to. As long as the guards did not walk back to the cells for a period of time – and you can usually hear them coming -- Capote and Smith could have sex through the bars – a practice that is common in American prisons. With plywood partitions between the cells, they would be shielded from the view of the guards and other prisoners.
Although this thought – as did the allegation of sex in the cell – might horrify Rev. Post and Harper Lee, and many others, it is entirely possible. When Capote was in Kansas City – frequently in the years prior to the execution of Hickock and Smith, he cut a swath through the gay community, and was known to give blow jobs in parking lots and other odd places.
It was Capote who told Plimpton that, shortly before Smith was taken out to be hanged, Smith kissed Capote on the cheek. It's the only time I've ever heard of a condemned man doing such a thing.
Whether or not they had a physical relationship (it's not necessary to the premise of this piece), there's no doubt Capote fell in love with Smith during the five years he visited with him on death row. His book reeks of it.
And that is why Hickock was portrayed so mercilessly in the book – not only as a child rapist, but down to the point of saying that Hickock swerved his car in an effort to hit a dog walking down the road.
Capote – in the tortured logic peculiar to those in love – blamed Hickock for Smith being on death row.
That is why, on the dreary, rain-swept night of April 14, 1965, Capote stood stoically and watched as Richard Hickock was hanged. But when it came time for Perry Smith to be hanged, Capote couldn't watch (according to Rev. Post).
On the drive back to Kansas City, Capote wept (according to Ray Cosgrove, the Muehlebach Hotel bellboy who drove him, and who described the incident to the Kansas City Star).
The Motive For Murder
On Nov. 11, 1968, I was serving four life sentence in the Missouri State Penitentiary. I was also reviewing books for the Kansas City Star, and reviewed The Crime of Punishment, by Dr. Karl Menninger. On that date, I received a letter from Menninger, and in my response, I set out my thoughts on In Cold Blood. My discussion of the case is as valid now as it was then:
Dear Dr. Menninger:
I was pleased to here from you, and to hear that you enjoyed my review – although the credit for the review is not mine, but yours, for you wrote the book.
There is much I wanted to say about the book – things that I think need to be stressed. But reviewers are limited – one could, in fact, write a second book about your book and even then, after publication, think of things he should have said but didn't.
There was, however, one particular passage in your book that I wanted to discuss with you, and perhaps hear your reaction to.
On page 8 you quoted an excerpt of a review of Truman Capote's book In Cold Blood. The reviewer sums up that, because of several episodes of criminal behavior many years before, that he felt a special sense of empathy with Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, killers of the Herbert Clutter family. His closing words, "the beast is in charge," have been disturbing me – because it seems that almost no one has surmised what I believe to be the true reason that Perry Smith killed those four people. Everyone seems willing to attribute it to the arcane workings of the criminal mind.
Capote glossed over the motivation of this crime by depicting Smith as being in what one might call, for lack of a better definition, a moment of schizophrenic dissociation in which Herbert Clutter was perceived as the authoritative 'them', and therefore summarily killed because of a convergence of resentments on Smith's part.
Then, Capote theorizes, the other three murders followed as an anti-climactic defensive maneuver. He further, because of his rather obvious sympathy for Smith, feels compelled to insist that Hickock killed at least two of the victims, a theory with which I vigorously disagree, and for good reason.
In order to place this crime in proper perspective, we have to conjecture on the nature of Smith and Hickock's relationship – which I believe was the result of a prison homosexual relationship.
Throughout Capote's book one is struck by the intimacies of thought – approaching feminine 'intuition' – threading through this relationship. Hickock was obviously the more aggressive and masculine of the two – evidenced by his hard-talking, and his affectedly bitter intention to kill the Clutters.
Smith, on the other hand, in his very passivity would lead one to conclude he had resolved the issue of masculinity assertion – by relinquishing total masculinity in favor of a dependent role – or a feminine role in the case of homosexuality (this correlates with the fact that he met Hickock while in Kansas City, trying to trace down a homosexual friend from prison).
If my conjecturing is correct, then I feel confident that Hickock and Smith had been sexually involved in prison – further, that in any such relationship that Smith would have taken the feminine role, and psychologically leaned on Hickock because of Hickock's facade of rough-hewn masculinity.
The thing that few people would suspect is that Smith would quite possibly be the more dangerous of the two.
There are two types of prison homosexual (passive) – those who are passive because they cannot be aggressive, and those who are passive because they choose to be. I feel Smith was of the latter type. He had a strong need for affection, even in prison, and in order to gain that affection – in this case from Richard Hickock – he had to structure the relationship so that it would be acceptable to Hickock. Hickock, being far less confident of himself, would never accept any relationship in which his already shaky manhood was further compromised. Therefore, Smith had to make the sacrifice and was better suited to do so.
After leaving prison, Smith and Hickock probably discontinued the physical aspect of their relationship, but the psychological relationship remained intact.
So, we have a situation in which Smith has surrendered his body and his mind (manhood) to Hickock – because of a facade of toughness and masculinity that Smith never suspected was over-compensatory in nature.
When Smith and Hickock arrived at the Clutter home I don't believe that either of them really expected a mass murder to take place. Smith, I believe, took it for granted that Hickock would find some face-saving reason not to kill the Clutters, and Hickock, of course, took it for granted that Smith – being 'pussy' – wouldn't or couldn't do anything so supposedly masculine as cold-bloodedly blow someone's brains out with a shotgun.
Inside the house they encountered Herbert Clutter, took him into the basement, tied him up – and Smith, believing no one would be killed, took time to make Herbert Clutter comfortable by providing him with a cardboard pallet. Smith, of course, thought Herbert Clutter would have to lay on that basement floor alive all night. They then tied up the Clutter boy, placing him comfortably on the couch in the basement. The mother and daughter were left in bed.
Then, Smith caught Hickock trying to make love to Nancy Clutter. He must have been furious! Here, beneath his very eyes, the man he had surrendered himself to so totally was spurning him in favor of Nancy Clutter. Capote romantically theorizes that Smith prevented the seduction of Nancy Clutter on moral grounds. No, it was nothing so lofty as that. Smith was simply jealous, and he interfered as any lover would.
At this point Smith was irked, jealous, and he wanted to humiliate Hickock. So he pressed Hickock on the issue of killing the Clutters. Hickock couldn't do it and, confronted in this manner, was prevented from saving face. As Shakespeare said, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
The moment Hickock showed 'cowardice' – the inability to kill – the fate of the Clutter family was sealed. If Smith backed out at this point, nothing would have been proved, and the issue of Hickock's pride and masculinity would be unresolved. This of course was not a calculated sequence on Smith's part, he was reacting instinctively.
The ultimate blow to Hickock's pride would be if Smith showed more heart (nerve, guts) than Hickock. This would make Hickock weaker than a 'punk' – and in the value system prevailing among criminals, that would be a crushing blow to Hickock's pride and self-esteem.
Smith, in his confusion, jealousy, anger, disappointment – and spite – reactively and instinctively thrust that hunting knife into Herbert Clutter's throat (Smith may also have simultaneously been displacing his anger onto the victim, thereby symbolically killing his feckless paramour).
The other three murders were then both defensive – and, perhaps and probably unrecognized by Smith, an excuse to go upstairs and kill Nancy Clutter – an act which would be doubly traumatic to Hickock and satisfying to Smith.
This theory is reinforced by Capote's portrayal of the extreme discomfiture experienced by Smith after he and Hickock went to Mexico, and Hickock slept in the next room with a woman.
This also, to some degree, explains the spite displayed by Smith toward Hickock following their capture, a spite which lasted until shortly before their deaths. But Smith could not completely escape the affection he felt for Hickock, and he relented toward the end, to the extent of admitting that he had personally killed all four of the Clutters.
Plimpton's interview with Capote serves up other useful nuggets. Asked if he had shown his manuscript to Hickock and Smith, Capote said he'd shown them bits and pieces. Of particular interest is his statement:
Dick's reactions to the book was to start switching and changing his story . . . saying what I'd written wasn't exactly true. He wasn't trying to flatter himself; he tried to change it to serve his purposes legally, to support the various appeals he was sending through the courts. He wanted the book to read as if it was a legal brief before the Supreme Court.
In the very next paragraph, in response to a different question, Capote says: Dick had an absolutely fantastic memory – one of the greatest memories I have ever come across.
I find it significant that Hickock challenged Capote's rendition of the story. Capote says it was because of Hickock's desire to keep anything unflattering from influencing the outcome of the case – but that raises large red flags about almost everything Capote did and wrote.
Under those circumstances, Hickock would never have admitted to wanting to rape Nancy Clutter, for example. In addition to the possibility that Capote misrepresented Hickock's actions and role, those quotes indicate Capote thoroughly misled Hickock and Smith. Had Capote been honest – had he told them the book wouldn't be published until after they were hanged – then Hickock wouldn't have had to worry about whether the book would impact his appeals. I suspect Capote didn't tell them the truth because he feared they would quit cooperating with him.
Although Capote said later that he held up publication of the book because he didn't want to adversely impact their appeals, it is just as likely that he wanted the dramatic ending of a double hanging.
I also suspect Capote didn't get that much cooperation from Hickock – that most of his conversations were with Smith. As Capote told Plimpton:
Perry never meant to kill the Clutters at all. He had a brain explosion. I don't think Dick was surprised, although later on he pretended he was. He knew, even if Perry didn't, that Perry would do it, and he was right. It showed an awfully shrewd instinct on Dick's part. Perry was bothered by it to a certain extent because he'd actually done it. He was always trying to find out in his own mind why he did it. He was amazed he'd done it. Dick, on the other hand, wasn't amazed, didn't want to talk about it, and simply wanted to forget the whole thing: he wanted to get on with life. (Emphasis added).
Capote had to engage in mental gymnastics to arrive at the conclusions he did. If Hickock 'pretended' to be surprised at what Smith had done, Capote would have none of it. And we are to believe that Hickock spilled his guts to Capote – while Capote simultaneously says Hickock didn't want to talk about it, and wanted to forget the whole thing (one can only imagine the bitterness Hickock felt, at being sentenced to die when Smith did all the killing).
Capote would never have admitted that he'd bamboozled these two guys, letting them believe that he was going to help them – all the while needing them to hang, so his book would have an appropriately dramatic ending – yet that appears to be precisely the case.
I also suspect Capote wanted to wait until they were dead – so they couldn't dispute what he had written – at least insofar as Hickock was concerned.
Capote told Plimpton that he wrote twice a week to Smith and Hickock for five years – separate letters since the two were jealous of each other – or, rather, that Smith was jealous of Hickock.
Later in the interview Capote tells how Smith had left all of his belongings to Capote, since he had no family: "…it was miserably little, his books, written in and annotated; the letters he received in prison…not very many…"
What happened to the 500 or so letters Capote allegedly wrote to Smith?
In the book, and in his interview, Capote goes to great lengths to convince us that Perry Smith was a dreamer, an artist, a man who'd had all the bad breaks, but who, nonetheless, was quite a moralist – getting furious at Capote for sending girlie magazines to Hickock – a man who studied Santayana and Thoreau. Hickock, meanwhile, is portrayed as a shifty-eyed sociopath whose intellectual heights reach no higher than girlie and car magazines. All of this as filtered through Capote.
However, the way a man dies may tell us something about the man – and there were independent witnesses to the hangings of Hickock and Smith.
Rev. Jim Post accompanied both men to the gallows. He has said that, prior to going to the gallows, Perry Smith gave him some of his belongings – including Smith's hand annotated copy of Man & Nature by Thoreau.
Hickock died first. Rev. Post told the Kansas City Star, in 1997, that Hickock's last words were: "I want to thank you for all that you've done to make this as easy as possible for everybody. Actually, we don't deserve very much, and you're sending me to a far better place than I've ever known."
When it came time for Smith to die, Rev. Post said: "Perry gave them a speech telling them what he thought of them. He just kind of rambled."
The ultimate question is whether Capote knew of his own deceptions – were they conscious. For the most part the answer would be yes.
As to why he put off publication of the book until after the hangings, Capote was in full possession of his faculties on that one. I suspect he may have confided more in Smith than in Hickock.
Smith, after all, would have little reason to dislike the manner in which he was portrayed – considering the fact he did all the killing, he came off smelling like a rose.
It was the masterful way in which Capote demonized Hickock that has always bothered me. I do not believe Hickock would ever have admitted wanting to rape Nancy Clutter, or, for that matter, liking them a lot younger than 16, as Capote put it.
A guy like Hickock, who feigns a tough front, would never, ever, admit to being a child molester, which is how Capote portrayed him. As a literary device, Capote chose to do good-guy/bad-guy. He picked Smith, the actual murderer, to be the good guy – a great literary twist, but not necessarily true.
The problem with analyzing In Cold Blood is that the book is not honest.

Our jaggery is a traditional form of unrefined wholesome sugar made from the pure concentrated juice of sugarcane.
Jaggery is used throughout India to sweeten dishes and its long been used in Ayurveda as a nutritious food.
Most sugarcane is grown under intensive farming practices which we have avoided by working with a wonderful organic project using natural fertile compost.
It's one of the elements in our Golden Preserve that helps give it the incredible flavour too.

Stars— they're just like us!
Yeah, except that when they are a huge fan of a show, they are given a tour of the set by said show's executive producers and gets to hang out with the cast. This is exactly what Kelly Clarkson got to do today with the CW"s Vampire Diaries!
The American Idol winner was invited to visit the show's Atlanta set by executive creator Julie Plec, where she got to rub elbows with Mystic Falls' finest!
Find out which Secret Circle star is joining The Vampire Diaries as a blast from Tyler's past
Vampire Diaries star Claire Holt, who plays vampire Rebekah, snapped a picture with Clarkson, which she posted on her Twitter account. "Special visitor on set today, " she wrote. "So great to meet you @kelly_Clarkson :)."
So how did Clarkson wind up on set? Plec got to meet Clarkson after her show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles last week and learned that the singer is a fan of the show. "And....as the capper to the night I just met @kelly_clarkson who it turns out is #TVDFamily," Plec tweeted at the time. "Gonna give her a set tour next week."
Nice to see she keeps her promises!

The AGENDA goes full-force and ALL OUT !! If you are yet unconvinced about the contrivance of global warming, consider the 2005 documentary "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room", based on a 2003 book by two reporters from Fortune magazine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron:_The_Smartest_Guys_in_the_Room Among the activities of Enron executives prior to 2001 was the selling of the 'weather'; technology that not even prospective investors believed existed. The authors of Enron, who gave no clues to the existence of weather technology, nonetheless drew a comparison to the fact that Enron was well ahead of the curve when 'broadband' was also believed not to exist. The documentary is available here: http://freedocumentaries.org/film.php?id=203 For Californians, the engineered downfall of Governor Gray Davis and his replacement with Arnold Schwarzeneggar appears to have been made in the boardroom of Enron.
Americans may not be aware that some of the most progressive environmental legislation ever passed in the US, or in any country, was struck down by the rules of competition from the WTO. Clearly, we have been denied the right to protect ourselves from globalization. The upcoming Copenhagen treaty seeks to levy binding authority by the United Nations on all futher activity of trade and industry; in a nutshell, subordinating the United States Constitution in favor of colonial Maritime Law. States within the US will either have to secede or rally the popular will to uphold the sovereignty of American citizens.
The Crossroads of Global Government
This December, 2009, world leaders are meeting in Copenhagen to sign on to an international treaty to control climate change. In the words of Lord Christopher Monckton, this will be the end of America's constitutional republic and there is no turning back. The creators of this document will usurp the rights of every nation on earth and install a world-wide regime that lays claim to every square inch of the planet and every creature that inhabits it. Kiss your freedom goodbye!….or tell your leaders any which you can, NOT TO SIGN on to this tyranny. [posted at http://archsymposia.blogspot.com]

A new film called "Not Evil, Just Wrong" takes a look at the real costs in jobs and quality of life, countering the Warming science with another scientific view. Watch a film trailer http://www.noteviljustwrong.com
This is probably the most important story I will ever write about. News coverage will comment here and there about 'climate protests', perhaps offering the same quality of accuracy as the Swine Flu Pandemic in the days ahead, but nothing in our history compares to the depth and scope of what is happening now –and what is about to happen. It ties up all the threads of world control in the hands of the Rothschilds and their legions of executors. My objective is to continue this post and demonstrate how it works and who is behind it. But first, ripples must go out across the media to get your favorable attention about an issue that is desirous of popular support. Don't you want to Save The Planet? Of course you do….

Sat Oct 24, 3:45 pm ET
PARIS (AFP) – Kicking off with thousands gathering on the steps of Sydney's iconic Opera House, global warming protests took place around the world Saturday to mark 50 days before the UN climate summit.
From Asia to Europe via the Middle East, activists staged lively events addressing world leaders and to mobilise public opinion around climate issues.
Many waved placards bearing the logo 350, referring to 350 parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in the atmosphere which scientists say must not be exceeded to avoid runaway global warming.
France's politicians received a "wake up" call from several hundred Parisians who chose clocks as their symbol.
Protesters who met in a central square had set their alarm clocks and mobile phones to ring at 12:18 pm (1018 GMT) in reference to the closing date of the summit, which lasts from December 7-18.
The summit is considered crucial as world leaders will try to thrash out a new treaty to curb greenhouse gas emissions in place of the Kyoto Protocol which will expire in 2012.
However, Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen said Saturday that preliminary discussions are not moving fast enough for an international decision to be concluded in Copenhagen.
"It is time to give full speed to the negotiations," Rasmussen said, adding that he wanted a legally binding international agreement to be in place by January.
There is growing concern that a treaty deal in Copenhagen could be hampered by issues including US domestic politics and the problems of securing agreement between developed and developing countries.
Rasmussen underlined that progress had been made on climate issues but that these "key political questions" still had to be resolved ahead of the December meeting.
The Science of global warming has a beginning with the discovery of the 'greenhouse effect' , described and published between 1824 and 1827 by Joseph Fourier http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Joseph_Fourier and adopted into a carbon emissions theory almost one hundred years later by Svante Arrhenius. The Swede Arrhenius (1859-1927) is considered one of the founders of 'physical chemistry' and co-founders of the Nobel Institutes and Prize, which he then accordingly "[used] his positions to arrange prizes for his friends and..to attempt to deny them to his enemies". Among Arrhenius's dubious accomplishments was supporting the creation of The State Institute for Racial Biology in Stockholm which lent scientific aire to the practice of compulsory sterilization in Sweden, lawful to 1975. Fourier's legacy, however, was to note that "Earth primarily gets energy from solar radiation, to which the atmosphere is largely transparent, and that geothermal heat doesn't contribute much to the energy balance." The current discussions address this disparity between CO2 levels and solar energy inputs, reframing the argument in accordance with the properties of gases and heat transfer, quoting from this website http://firstname.lastname@example.com/Arrhenius_is_Wrong.html that "Adding CO2 actually will cause trivial global cooling at the surface.."
Arrhenius apparently was not the first to publicize a link between global warming and CO2. That distinction goes to the American Thomas Sterry Hunt, who delivered his conclusions to the British Royal Society in 1878. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sterry_Hunt
The uptake of CO2 levels as a demonstration of climate change resurged in 1958 under the watch of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and its director, Roger Revelle. Scripps is a research institution within a partnership complex of the University of California that supports a large medical services system in San Diego county. Readers who've followed my blog stories of 'polio' and 'fallout' are familiar with Scripps as a key facility of the military-industrial-medical cartel, which includes the Salk Institute and (historically) Los Alamos, N.Mex, weapons lab. Revelle, who married Ellen Scripps, participated in the first peacetime A-bomb tests (in 1946) called Operation Crossroads and in '58 he supported Charles 'Dave' Keeling at the Mauna Loa (Hawaii) observatory as the 'evidence' of CO2 emissions was plotted. 1958 became the first International Geophysical Year (IGY) under Revelle's guidance and it even appears that the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) was founded to develop global warming science. Near the end of Revelle's official leadership of the Scripps Institute, in 1963, he established the Center for Population Studies at Harvard which took on the academic challenge of 'World Hunger', a central issue of global climate change. Revelle returned to UCSD as a professor of climate change, energy development and marine policy and remained a central figure in the Pugwash Conferences and IGY activity until his death in 1991. Dave Keeling also remained active until his death in 2005, in spite of nearly having his funding pulled early on by the National Science Foundation on account of the CO2 fluctuation/increase being perceived as 'routine'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_David_Keeling
Climate Change science as we know it now was (likely) hatched by the Big Energy consortium that heard the airing of a report in 1956 by Shell Oil geologist Marion King Hubbert –the Peak Oil report– confirmed as true in 1971, convenient to the first Club of Rome publication "Limits To Growth". Hubbert, who died in 1989, remained the only source of "factual proof about the case", according to http://www.princeton.edu/hubbert/the-peak.html , and did not live to see his revised prediction of catastrophic oil shortages by 1995. But 'shortage' of the natural-raw-material kind, has never been a problem in the oil industry according to "The Age of Oil" author Leonardo Maugeri. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070214-cheap-gas.html.
This is truly about corporate and political hegemony exploiting and 'witholding' one set of resources until another becomes available to rival it. Well… those days are here. And in the words of the Club of Rome 1993 report "The First Global Revolution", those resources are the grassroots. The bottom line on climate science looks to be a pillow fight, lacking hard evidence, for some long time to come. Review some of the controversies here, http://www.climatepolice.com/mission.html and read about the scientific publishing malfeasance going on here http://bishophill.squarespace.com/blog/2008/8/11/caspar-and-the-jesus-paper.html Globalization has already occurred over the last two decades and integrated information systems are now merging into a Global Brain, we must understand, but the barriers of constitutional nations are the last hold-out for acquiring Consent of the governed. Climate Change is just such a design for your consent.
Todd Stern, US Special Envoy for Climate Change, says "you will not hear anyone in this [Obama] Administration question the science" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOK13GWfXUw
An "Open Letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations", written by 100 prominent scientists , declares "..the current UN approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase human suffering from future climate change rather than decrease it….In stark contrast to the often repeated assertion that the science of climate change is 'settled' significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming…IPCC working groups were generally instructed..to consider work published only through May, 2005 [and] these important findings are not included.." http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/reprint/open_letter_to_un.html ,Dec.2007
Todd Stern represents the think tank 'Center for American Progress' as a Senior Fellow of the institution, founded in part by the Sandler family of California and sustained by the funding of George Soros (Gyorgy Schwartz) . The "left-leaning" CAP was established in 1994 during the Clinton Administration to act as a base for political transition to the Obama Administration. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Center_for_American_Progress. Soros, in so many ways, is the visible hand of the Rothschilds at work in the world, exposed as "Your Enemy" here in the 'dossier' compiled through the auspices of Lyndon LaRouche: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/archivos_pdf/soros_dosier.pdf
Watch this 1990 film as a primer for the climate science debate (approx. 55 minutes) . At minute 50,near to the last words of the film " People hate each other about this issue…have you ever seen a nastier scientific issue? Would you march down the road toward a policy which, people have rightfully said, requires an economic restructuring of the world knowing that the world was behaving opposite to what the basis for that policy said?"

President Obama's Science Advisor, John P. Holdren, has some choice ideas about Climate Change solutions; http://kdka.com/national/president.barack.obama.2.980111.html "One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays…Holdren said 'It's got to be looked at…We don't have the luxury..of ruling any approach off the table…We're talking about all these issues in the White House.' Holdren, a 1981 winner of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, outlined these possible geoengineering options: Shooting sulfur particles into the upper atmosphere..proposed by Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen in 2006; creating "artificial trees" –giant towers that suck up carbon dioxide out of the air and store it– to 'try to produce a cooling effect to offset the heating effect..' said Holdren. But he said there could be grave side effects [such as droughts and irrepairable ozone holes]…'It would be preferable by far' he said 'to solve this problem by reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses'.." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_P._Holdren , described here as dangerously out-of-touch [insane] http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/17/horrid-dr-holdren

On Thursday, it was announced that the final weekly downloadable song for Rock Band would be Don McClean's "American Pie."
I don't have stories from working on Rock Band. I have stories about not working on Rock Band. Back in 2006, I was working for the Activision studio Vicarious Visions. Among other things, we did a lot of the Nintendo Wii and DS development for Activision titles headed elsewhere.
I had a number of old friends and colleagues at Harmonix, and the previous year they had come out with Guitar Hero, to huge success. So, when Activision acquired Red Octane (Guitar Hero's publisher) I indulged myself in some hope that I might get to work with those guys. That, of course, was not fated to happen that way.
I did end up working on the fringes of Guitar Hero. In addition to managing the design group at VV during most of the Guitar Hero years there, I was producer on the team that prototyped Mii Freestyle Mode in Guitar Hero World Tour, and did design on another prototype that never made it. I remember a lot of animosity among fans between Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and I expect some developers must have felt that way too. But all I ever percieved personally was responsibility. I had accidentally ended up with the people who were in charge of Harmonix's baby, and I wanted to take good care of it. Let it be done well, and let someone else worry about sibling rivalry.
Fast forward to today. I am working with those old friends now, at Harmonix. I'm not working on Rock Band, and never did. But my involvement with carrying their baton was one of the things that gave me the mad confidence to be here. And just as when Activision closed down their music business, the end of new Rock Band content at Harmonix has got me looking back on these stories that put me where I am today.
Why does anybody choose a life in entertainment? The song goes "I knew, if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance, and maybe they'd be happy for a while." When I go home at the end of the day, all I can hope is that I've done something to bring people some joy.
So, bye bye. Harmonix isn't telling yet what we're offering people next. But maybe they'll be happy with it, for a while.

Jon Barcellona is principal architect for Digital Architects.
WorldDoc provides Web-based health management tools, such as personal health records, that health insurers and employers can buy for people covered under their plans. The idea is that people will use the information systems to stay healthier, thus living better and lowering costs for insurers and employers. The company's fully hosted central database engine integrates an individual's health risk assessment, medical and pharmacy claims, laboratory test results, and biometric data to provide care management such as personalized medical goals, find gaps in care, and suggest actions to stay well.
WorldDoc's vision is to build a "healthcare intervention engine" that integrates with its existing member healthcare portal. Such a system would let clinicians write rules to process health data information, medical claims, and other information for millions of members. The rules would match a person's health profile with specific interventions, which could be delivered as e-mails, text messages, Web-based coaching, mail, phone calls, and via a smartphone application. It's a highly complex vision, and it needs to execute against millions of members' health data while maintaining a high level of performance.
To do the software development, WorldDoc hired a four-person agile development team from my company, Digital Architects; it wanted a production application in one year. We had a basic development road map in mind from past experience:
- Clearly define the problem domain.
- Don't build what we could buy.
- Start small and rapidly deliver a proof of concept.
- Deliver the main project using agile principles -- especially "deliver working software early and often."
Based on our experience, we decided at the outset to create a new domain-specific language (DSL), this time for the medical domain for medical rules. A DSL is a computer programming language that targets a particular domain -- healthcare in this case -- instead of a general-purpose language such as Java or C++ that's designed to solve any kind of software problem. DSLs offer numerous benefits for projects like WorldDoc's. Users (clinicians in this case) understand them, thereby facilitating communication; they increase the productivity of software developers by raising the level of abstraction; and the system can be quickly updated if user requirements change -- a must for a project like this.
The most critical and time-consuming aspect of such a "rules engine" project was the initial analysis of the language -- understanding the healthcare domain and translating it into a simple programming language that would be intuitive to the clinicians. Another challenge was creating an intuitive user interface for clinician rule entry. Additionally, we learned that the data access layer needed to be mapped from the language elements to the WorldDoc healthcare data, so that future changes to the data structure could be changed via mapping of the language elements to the data, rather than changing the DSL itself.
Define The Problem
The project sprawled out in three big areas, according to Ben Say, World Doc's CIO. One, the clinical rules went very deep. Two, there's a huge variety of member preferences. And three, there's tremendous breadth of possible intervention the system could recommend to patients. Using a DSL let us automate more of the development.
With the DSL approach settled upon, we began defining the problem domain by categorizing the tasks at hand into problem parameters, then reorganizing those tasks into technology areas. In doing so, the problem looked like this:
Create a DSL for medical rules that:
- Clinicians find intuitive;
- Integrates with the existing member health data and intervention process;
- Creates rules that execute swiftly enough to handle millions of members.
This led us to realize that we'd also need to build a Web-based portal for authoring rules that clinicians could use. It would also have to allow authoring and validation of rules syntax and data elements, as well as support fullfeatured rules testing and workflow to manage processes from the draft phase into rules production.

A Mexican girl has become a mother at the age of 10. And she had quadruplets!
The youngster arrived at a hospital in the city of Puebla, suffering from life-threatening complications in her 31-week pregnancy, including seizures.
She gave birth by Caesarean section to a boy weighing 3.3lbs, and three girls each weighing about 3.2lbs at the Women's Hospital in the city, 60 miles southeast of Mexico City.
Her premature son and daughters are now said to be in intensive care following a bout of pneumonia, but officials said his young mother visits the baby every day to breastfeed.
The paper said the hospital revealed the babies are in a good condition considering the premature births and the mother is recovering well after first coming to the centre on October 22.
However, hospital director Rogelio Gonzalez said that the birth had been reported to the state's Attorney General's Office, which is investigating whether the girl could have been raped and who the father is.
Mexican state laws prevent young mothers having abortions unless they can prove they were the victim of sexual assault.
The legal age of consent is 12 and women who have abortions in Puebla face a fine or prison sentence if they are unable to prove they were sexually abused. However, the laws are currently under review.
The shocking case is not the first of a young girl giving birth in Mexico.
In August last year, an 11-year-old known only as Amalia had a child two weeks prematurely after being raped repeatedly by her stepfather when she was 10 years old.
Amalia told her mother she had been raped by her stepfather and the attack was immediately reported to the police.
Cancun had passed a law banning most elective abortions, but women's rights groups claimed the girl wasn't told by doctors that the new legislation allowed for rape victims to have abortions.
And in 1999, a 13-year-old rape victim in Baja California state became a cause celebre after medical authorities refused to give her the abortion she was entitled to by law. She later gave birth to the child.
The girl, Paulina Ramirez, brought her case to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in 2002, drawing international attention and sparking a high-profile campaign seeking reparations from the Mexican government.
The government later agreed to pay her more than $40,000.

JELD-WEN's Les Stephens Discusses Replacement Window Product Innovations and Sustainable Practices
Founded in the Pacific Northwest and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, JELD-WEN is one of the nation's largest window manufacturers and a recognized leader in sustainable practices. In addition to developing products that are Energy Star qualified, JELD-WEN commits to renewable forest management, habitat protection and land stewardship. Earlier this year, the company offset demand for new wood by introducing a line of reclaimed Douglas fir windows from old barns, fences and buildings across America- the first of its kind in the industry.
Along with earning the Sustainable Forestry Initiative President's Award, JELD-WEN participates on the Board of the Green Building Initiative, identifying strategies to improve the environmental performance of existing buildings, and is a member of the US Green Building Council.
We caught up with JELD-WEN's Product Manager, Les Stephens, to learn more about the company's latest product innovations and green practices in an industry that demands exceptional performance.
RWFD: JELD-WEN is widely recognized for its environmental stewardship- something customers take into account today more than ever. What are some of the latest innovations you offer in terms of energy savings and sustainable or recycled material?
JW: JELD-WEN is one of the world's leading window and door manufacturers. We have always taken a practical approach to manufacturing and product development, introducing a number of sustainable practices that were simply recognized as good business many years ago. Today, we offer a number of industry-leading sustainable product options including:
- Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified wood windows and patio doors in the JELD-WEN Custom Wood window line.
- AuraLast Wood that's made from solid pine and provides superior protection from wood decay, water saturation and termites. What makes AuraLast Wood different is a water-based process that results in a 96 percent decrease of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when compared to traditional dip treatments. JELD-WEN Windows with AuraLast Wood can contribute to LEED credits.
- JELD-WEN has the largest and broadest offering of ENERGY STAR qualified windows and exterior doors in the industry and has been an ENERGY STAR partner since 1998.
- Door skins that contribute to healthier indoor air quality. To meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) formaldehyde standards, JELD-WEN offers Phase 1- and Phase 2-compliant no-added formaldehyde (NAF) door skins in accordance with the CARB Airborne Toxic Control Measure.
- Recycled materials. JELD-WEN Molded Interior doors and Wood Composite garage doors feature facings and trim boards made of recycled wood fiber. The company also recently introduced Reclaimed Wood windows and doors as part of the Custom Wood line.
It's important to note that windows and doors can contribute toward LEED credits but they are not LEED certified.
RWFD: You mentioned JELD-WEN's line of Aura Last Wood and your latest recycled material line. What are the advantages of these windows to traditional wood?
JW: JELD-WEN has a research and development lab where we test many types of materials to ensure product performance and reliability. AuraLast is JELD-WEN's proprietary process that prevents wood rot, termites and water saturation. Made from solid pine, we manufacture it using a vacuum-pressured process that helps protect the wood all the way through to the core and offers an industry-leading limited-lifetime warranty. AuraLast Wood uses a closed-loop, water-based system selected because it does not harm the environment with hazardous, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in most other traditional wood preservation methods. Homeowners that choose JELD-WEN's products can rest assured that their windows will perform reliably for many years.
Our windows made using recycled or sustainable materials are built to perform just as reliably as their counterparts. We recently introduced Reclaimed Wood windows (and doors) as part of our Custom Wood line (see picture on the left). One source of our reclaimed material is from snow fencing, used to prevent snow drifts along highways. That wood, which was specifically used to stand up to harsh conditions, is now used to make JELD-WEN Reclaimed Wood windows that will perform reliably for many more years to come.
RWFD: Many home owners appreciate the architectural warmth associated with wood windows yet prefer the lower cost of vinyl. Aside from price tag, what are the benefits that JELD-WEN vinyl windows offer?
JW: Two out of every three replacement windows sold in the United States are vinyl windows, so consumers seem to be happy with the quality and performance standards of vinyl. Vinyl offers comparable energy performance with wood windows and vinyl frames never need to be painted. JELD-WEN's new vinyl window lines offer features that compare favorably including painted exteriors and wood grain laminate interiors, so whatever gap may have existed in consumer opinion of vinyl windows compared to wood seems to have diminished over time.
Vinyl provides low maintenance, durability and greater energy efficiency and it does well in virtually all climates. Vinyl windows are also increasingly becoming versatile with style options. JELD-WEN offers many features for vinyl windows that can blend with classic architecture styles such as simulated divided lites and a variety of trim and color options.

Jesse Jackson Jr. submits letter of resignation
WASHINGTON -- A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner says he has received letter of resignation from Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Boehner's spokesman Michael Steel said Wednesday the Speaker's office received a letter of resignation from Jackson. Boehner's office did not immediately comment beyond acknowledging they'd received the letter.
Jackson was easily re-elected earlier this month to a ninth term despite not having appeared in public since quietly taking medical leave in June for treatment of bipolar disorder.
The House Ethics Committee has been looking into whether Jackson was involved in discussions about raising money for imprisoned ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich's campaign in exchange for an appointment to President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
There also have been reports of a federal investigation into possible misuse of campaign money.

Soggy Sunday
For a few days, weather forecasters predicted a heavy rain storm for the east coast today. There are times when weather forecasters strike out but this time they didn't swing and miss.
The Phillies subscribe to an online weather service. Mike Stiles, the VP of Administration and Operations, wears the hat of deciding if a game is to be played. His rain alert staff met after Saturday's game. Right there on his computer terminal was a big green blotch, meaning heavy rain was going to hit practically the entire east coast. Calls to other weather services resulted in the same forecast.
A list of topics had to be reviewed: checking with Major League Baseball for a possible rain date, when and how to notify the players and umpires, reporting times for the Phillies and ARAMARK game day staff, the possibility of rescheduling the Jackie Robinson Day festivities, Hatfield Phillies Franks Dollar Dog Day, Southwest Airlines magnet schedule day and a post-game Modell's Sporting Goods run the bases event, which outlet would televise the rescheduled game and when the media would be notified.
Rescheduling the game is a process in which MLB has to discuss the potential date with the Players Association. A call was made Saturday night to begin that process so a decision could be announced today, if at all possible. We wanted to alert the fans as early as possible of a new date.
A handful of Phillies office personnel arrived early this morning, mainly Stiles, PR, some ticket office staff, couple clubhouse staffers and ballpark ops.
In walking through the Phillies clubhouse very early this a.m., one noticed a note posted on the eraser board in the middle of the clubhouse: "Sunday-players report 10:30 a.m." Three racks of pinstripe pants were still hanging, now fully dried from their late Saturday night washing.
Frank Coppenbarger, Director of Team Travel and Clubhouse Services, contacted each player shortly after 8 o'clock to let them know the game was going to be called. Three pitchers, Jamie Moyer, Cole Hamels and Geoff Geary, came in to work out. Moyer also spent time going over the Mets hitters for his next start on Tuesday night. He was comparing the detailed report of his last start on Thursday.
Charlie Manuel and his staff were there in the a.m.
There will be activity at some point in the Astros' clubhouse, located behind the third base dugout. The Astros would attempt to get out of town earlier than their scheduled evening charter flight. Generally, the availability of an aircraft dictates when a team can leave.
Guess it is time to head home to wash windows.

ALSA library compatibility
I see quite a few problems with ALSA setup on the forum, and I'm now wondering if some might be caused by the mismatch of ALSA modules, libraries, and utilities currently in Puppy.
What commonly happens is that with each kernel upgrade the ALSA modules are also upgraded, but there can then be compatibility problems with the older ALSA libraries.
alsamixer, for example, can start to display the sound card's features incorrectly. Or in one case I (when I compiled a new kernel in Vector Linux) alsamixer failed to launch with many error messages.
It appears to be good practice to match the version of ALSA libraries, utilities, and kernel modules.
So what's the current situation in Puppy?
Puppy 2.14 has ALSA modules from ALSA 1.0.12rc1, which it inherits from its 18.104.22.168 kernel. This can be seen in /<kernelsource>/include/sound/version.h
I don't know what source was used for the ALSA libraries and utilities, but I suspect that it was from the T2 source repository that Barry used to compile the main libraries when Puppy moved from version 2.02 to 2.10.
alsaconf is v1.0.8
alsamixer is v1.0.11
I suggest that it would be worthwhile upgrading the ALSA libraries and utilities to 1.0.12rc1, to match the ALSA modules.

Well, it seems my suggestion did not resonate with anyone having audio problems.
I have gone ahead and compiled the compatible ALSA libraries and utilites, and I suggest anyone having ALSA setup problems might do well to try them.
UPDATE: these ALSA libraries are compatible
ONLY WITH Puppy 2.12-2.16
EDIT March 28 2007: alsa-lib package fixed and re-attached.
EDIT April 15 2007: alsa-utils package fixed to remove "standard" alsaconf.
If you already installed this package earlier, re-install the Puppy-compatible alsaconf, available as attachment to later post.

Thanks, tempestuous. I have downloaded and will include with Puppy 2.15CE RC2/Final after testing.

Oh, I was assuming that these packages might be tried in Puppy 2.14, rather than being added to a new Puppy version.
OK, it seems that Puppy 2.15 now includes these libraries.

A symlink was wrong in the alsa-lib package above. I just fixed it.
This problem was small, but serious.
The original package was downloaded 8 times, why did no one report the problem?

Apologies! My alsa-utils package installed the "standard" alsaconf, which overwrote the customised version Barry provided to accommodate the way that Puppy's drivers load from the zdrv file.
Thus, alsaconf from my package will fail to work, and setup of the ALSA drivers will fail in many cases.
I have just fixed the alsa-utils package (April 15 2007) and re-attached it.
I now also attach the original alsaconf, which is Puppy-compatible, and should fix the problem in recent releases of 2.15, and for anyone else who installed my alsa-utils package before April 15.

I did the three ALSA downloads, but I don't know what to do or which/what to run? I ran the ALSA sound wizard, but it looks like
it is running what was already included in the distribution, huh?

Here's what works for me:
Download all three of the dot-pets provided above, then install them in the order shown below:
For each one, go
1. Right-click "Download" in the forum dialog box.
2. Open in New Tab.
3. A dialog box willl appear, titled "Opening alsa...pet"
--Left-click "Save it to disk," then "OK"
4. On the first one (choose ALSA-lib-1.0.12rc1.pet), do the following (not necessary on the two others):
--Click "Browse for other folders"
--Click "root" button, then "my-applications", then "Save" (if you are in 2.14 using the jwm windowmanager, you may have to drag the window up a bit to see the "Save" button).
5. On the second two (alsaconf-original.pet and ALSA-utils-1.0.12rc1.pet), just click Save, the dialog box will already point to /root/my-applications.
6. After you download all three, now open a Rox window, go to /root/my-applications, and left-click-and-install them in this order:
7. Menu - Shutdown - Restart X Server.
8. Menu - Utility - rxvt and issue the command
9. Again do Menu - Shutdown - Restart X Server.
Now you can do Menu - Setup - ALSA sound wizard.
I've tried this on a P3 running 2.14 and a P4 running 2.15CE-Final (patched) and it works; the P3 had the can't-find-ESS1868-ISA-card issue, and this cures it. Please note that it does take a few seconds for the "Driver Selection" window to appear, if you don't have a PCI card and choose to "Probe ISA cards."

I just did the above steps, but when I start ALSA setup, it still
shows as ALSA WIZARD ver 1.0.8 ... looks like I have to do
something else to force it to ver 1.0.12, huh?

What I give above is a "one-size-fits-all" fix. I designed it to correct every problem I could think of and (***EDITED: well, actually that's giving myself too much credit; I should say, "I'm suggesting you install tempestuous's packages in this order and stop at the original alsaconf, because I believe this will solve the problem and just..."***) work no matter which of the various reported ways people have tangled their shoelaces. It addresses actually several reported losses of alsaconf or sound capability, some of which happened after a version upgrade, and others of which seem to spring from a conflict somehow with xvesa which I'm still tracking down.
If you want to see "version 1.0.12rc1" when you start alsaconf, so everything seems consistent, you can carry it one step further: do the above procedure, and then copy /usr/sbin/alsaconf in from the liveCD of 2.15CE. It may work. But I wouldn't guarantee it, particularly if you are using a version of 2.15CE prior to the last Final, or if you are using 2.14 or earlier, or if the problem stems from the xvesa bug.
If the procedure (without copying the 2.15CE alsaconf in) makes alsaconf work OK, and you then copy the 2.15CE alsaconf over, and now it doesn't work, then I would like to know:
1. In what manner does it fail?
2. What version of Puppy do you have, and how installed? Clean install, or an upgrade?
3. Are you using xorg or xvesa?

The correct version of alsaconf to use is the original one which Barry modified to be Puppy-compatible.
The actual version of this utility does not really matter. It's just a script.
The updated ALSA 1.0.12rc1 packages are most important for the core ALSA library, libasound.so.2.0.0, and alsamixer. All other ALSA utilities are not so important.

I haven't sorted out alsa..as in when it doesn't work on various setups, I don't know how to go about fixing it..
It either works or doesn't when I run live cd save file to HD on boot.
Mentioned it in another thread that on this desktop, had no sound with 2.12 &3 but once I booted with 2.15 Bingo
had sound for the first time.

2.12, 2.13, and 2.14 have mismatched ALSA modules/libraries as I mentioned in the first post. 2.15 has updated libraries.
It appears that the new libraries achieve a critical benefit in this instance.

I've just upgraded my box. Now it runs on nForce405 with ALC883 codec. I read in many places that:
1) the correct driver is snd-hda-intel
2) that it only works starting with 1.0.13
Unfortunately puppy 2.15CE only has 1.0.12 (thanks to tempestuous), and as a result = no sound in the new box. Running alsaconf doesn't detect it, and running modprobe snd-hda-intel loads the module but /proc/asound/cards shows nothing.
How difficult is it to upgrade to alsa 1.0.13 ?
Thanks !

CNN's Dana Loesch: Too Extreme For Rush Limbaugh
CNN contributor Dana Loesch is under fire for comments she made on her radio show dismissing outrage over video that appears to show members of the United States Marine Corps urinating on dead bodies that early reports have identified as Afghans, saying that she would "drop trou and do it, too." Loesch's comments are so extreme, they put her out on a fringe where even Rush Limbaugh won't go.
Thursday night, Loesch complained that "we have a bunch of progressives that are talking smack about our military because there were Marines caught urinating on corpses -- Taliban corpses." She went on to say:
Can someone explain to me if there's supposed to be a scandal that someone pees on the corpse of a Taliban fighter? Someone who was -- as part of an organization murdered over 3,000 Americans? I'd drop trou and do it, too. That's me, though. I want a million cool points for these guys. Is that harsh to say?
Loesch's comments have been widely rejected, leading to her responding that she was "defending" the Marines from "overly-dramatic hysteria."
Her comments put the talk radio host out on the fringe where even Rush Limbaugh won't go. Dana Loesch - a CNN contributor - responded to the video by saying she would "drop trou and do it, too." Limbaugh -- RUSH LIMBAUGH -- responded to the video by saying there is "no defense of this" :
Well, there's a video, nobody knows how old it is, of some U.S. Marines urinating on the bodies of Taliban combatants in Afghanistan. Peed on them. And of course it's Marines. It violated the rules. There's no defense of this. The overreaction of this is nuts, but still it happened.
Dana Loesch's comments, too extreme for Rush Limbaugh, put her out on the fringe where CNN should never go.
