This document gives a brief introduction to Generic Netlink, some simple
examples on how to use it and some recommendations on how to make the most of
the Generic Netlink communications interface. While this document does not
require that the reader has a detailed understanding of what Netlink is
and how it works, some basic Netlink knowledge is assumed. As usual, the
kernel source code is your best friend here.
While this document talks briefly about Generic Netlink from a userspace point
of view, its primary focus is on the kernel's Generic Netlink API. It is
recommended that application developers who are interested in using Generic
Netlink make use of the libnl library[1].
This section deals with the Generic Netlink subsystem in the Linux kernel and
provides a simple example of how in-kernel users can make use of the Generic
Netlink API. Don't forget to review section #4, "Recommendations", before
writing any code as it can save you, and the people who review your code,
lots of time!
The first section explains how to register a Generic Netlink family which is
required for Generic Netlink users who wish to act as servers, listening over
the Generic Netlink bus. The second section explains how to send and
receive Generic Netlink messages in the kernel. Finally, the third section
provides a brief introduction to using Generic Netlink in userspace.
Registering a Generic Netlink family is a simple four step process: define the
family, define the operations, register the family, register the operations.
In order to help demonstrate these steps below is a simple example broken down
and explained in detail.
The first step is to define the family itself, which we do by creating an
instance of the genl_family structure. In our simple example we are going to
create a new Generic Netlink family named "DOC_EXMPL".
/* attributes */ enum { DOC_EXMPL_A_UNSPEC, DOC_EXMPL_A_MSG, __DOC_EXMPL_A_MAX, }; #define DOC_EXMPL_A_MAX (__DOC_EXMPL_A_MAX - 1) /* attribute policy */ static struct nla_policy doc_exmpl_genl_policy[DOC_EXMPL_A_MAX + 1] = { [DOC_EXMPL_A_MSG] = { .type = NLA_NUL_STRING }, }; /* family definition */ static struct genl_family doc_exmpl_gnl_family = { .id = GENL_ID_GENERATE, .hdrsize = 0, .name = "DOC_EXMPL", .version = 1, .maxattr = DOC_EXMPL_A_MAX, };
Figure 1: The DOC_EXMPL family, attributes and policy
You can see above that we defined a new family and the family recognizes a single attribute, DOC_EXMPL_A_MSG, which is a NULL terminated string. The GENL_ID_GENERATE macro/constant is really just the value 0x0 and it signifies that we want the Generic Netlink controller to assign the channel number when we register the family.
The second step is to define the operations for the family, which we do by creating at least one instance of the genl_ops structure. In this example we are only going to define one operation but you can define up to 255 unique
operations for each family.
/* handler */ static int doc_exmpl_echo(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info) { /* message handling code goes here; return 0 on success, negative * values on failure */ } /* commands */ enum { DOC_EXMPL_C_UNSPEC, DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO, __DOC_EXMPL_C_MAX, }; #define DOC_EXMPL_C_MAX (__DOC_EXMPL_C_MAX - 1) /* operation definition */ static struct genl_ops doc_exmpl_gnl_ops_echo = { .cmd = DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO, .flags = 0, .policy = doc_exmpl_genl_policy, .doit = doc_exmpl_echo, .dumpit = NULL, };
Figure 2: The DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO operation
Here we have defined a single operation, DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO, which uses the
Netlink attribute policy we defined above. Once registered, this particular
operation would call the doc_exmpl_echo() function whenever a
DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO message is sent to the DOC_EXMPL family over the Generic
Netlink bus.
The third step is to register the DOC_EXMPL family with the Generic Netlink
operation. We do this with a single function call:
int rc; rc = genl_register_family(&doc_exmpl_gnl_family); if (rc != 0) goto failure;
This call registers the new family name with the Generic Netlink mechanism and
requests a new channel number which is stored in the genl_family struct,
replacing the GENL_ID_GENERATE value. It is important to remember to
unregister Generic Netlink families when done as the kernel does allocate
resources for each registered family.
The fourth and final step is to register the operations for the family. Once
again this is a simple function call:
int rc; rc = genl_register_ops(&doc_exmpl_gnl_family, &doc_exmpl_gnl_ops_echo); if (rc != 0) goto failure;
This call registers the DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO operation in association with the
DOC_EXMPL family. The process is now complete. Other Generic Netlink users
can now issue DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO commands and they will be handled as desired.
The kernel provides two sets of interfaces for sending, receiving and
processing Generic Netlink messages. The majority of the API consists of the
general purpose Netlink interfaces, however, there are a small number of
interfaces specific to Generic Netlink. The following two "include" files
define the Netlink and Generic Netlink API for the kernel:
- include/net/netlink.h
- include/net/genetlink.h
Sending Generic Netlink messages is a three step process: allocate memory for
the message buffer, create the message, send the message. In order to help
demonstrate these steps, below is a simple example using the DOC_EXMPL family.
The first step is to allocate a Netlink message buffer; the easiest way to do
this is with the nlsmsg_new() function.
struct sk_buff *skb; skb = genlmsg_new(NLMSG_GOODSIZE, GFP_KERNEL); if (skb == NULL) goto failure;
Figure 3: Allocating a Generic Netlink message buffer
The NLMSG_GOODSIZE macro/constant is a good value to use when you do not know
the size of the message buffer at the time of allocation. Don't forget that
the genlmsg_new() function automatically adds space for the Netlink and
Generic Netlink message headers.
The second step is to actually create the message payload. This is obviously
something which is very specific to each service, but a simple example is
shown below.
int rc; void *msg_head; /* create the message headers */ msg_head = genlmsg_put(skb, pid, seq, type, 0, flags, DOC_EXMPL_C_ECHO, 1); if (msg_head == NULL) { rc = -ENOMEM; goto failure; } /* add a DOC_EXMPL_A_MSG attribute */ rc = nla_put_string(skb, DOC_EXMPL_A_MSG, "Generic Netlink Rocks"); if (rc != 0) goto failure; /* finalize the message */ genlmsg_end(skb, msg_head);
Figure 4: Creating a Generic Netlink message payload
The genlmsg_put() function creates the required Netlink and Generic Netlink
message headers, populating them with the given values; see the Generic
Netlink header file for a description of the parameters. The nla_put_string()
function is a standard Netlink attribute function which adds a string
attribute to the end of the Netlink message; see the Netlink header file for a
description of the parameters. The genlmsg_end() function updates the Netlink
message header once the message payload has been finalized. This function
should be called before sending the message.
The third and final step is to send the Generic Netlink message which can be
done with a single function call. The example below is for a unicast send,
but interfaces exist for doing a multicast send of Generic Netlink message.
int rc; rc = genlmsg_unicast(skb, pid); if (rc != 0) goto failure;
Figure 5: Sending Generic Netlink messages
Typically, kernel modules act as Generic Netlink servers which means that the
act of receiving messages is handled automatically by the Generic Netlink bus.
Once the bus receives the message and determines the correct routing, the
message is passed directly to the family specific operation callback for
processing. If the kernel is acting as a Generic Netlink client, server
response messages can be received over the Generic Netlink socket using
standard kernel socket interfaces.
While Generic Netlink messages can be sent and received using the standard
socket API it is recommended that user space applications use the libnl
library[1]. The libnl library insulates applications from many of the low
level Netlink tasks and uses an API which is very similar to the kernel API
shown above.
Figure #6 illustrates the basic Generic Netlink architecture which is
composed of five different types of components:
- The Netlink subsystem which serves as the underlying transport layer for all of the Generic Netlink communications.
- The Generic Netlink bus which is implemented inside the kernel, but which is available to userspace through the socket API and inside the kernel via the normal Netlink and Generic Netlink APIs.
- The Generic Netlink users who communicate with each other over the Generic Netlink bus; users can exist both in kernel and user space.
- The Generic Netlink controller which is part of the kernel and is responsible for dynamically allocating Generic Netlink communication channels and other management tasks. The Generic Netlink controller is implemented as a standard Generic Netlink user, however, it listens on a special, pre-allocated Generic Netlink channel.
- The kernel socket API. Generic Netlink sockets are created with the PF_NETLINK domain and the NETLINK_GENERIC protocol values.
+---------------------+ +---------------------+ | (3) application "A" | | (3) application "B" | +------+--------------+ +--------------+------+ | | \ / \ / | | +-------+--------------------------------+-------+ | : : | user-space =====+ : (5) kernel socket API : +================ | : : | kernel-space +--------+-------------------------------+-------+ | | +-----+-------------------------------+----+ | (1) Netlink subsystem | +---------------------+--------------------+ | +---------------------+--------------------+ | (2) Generic Netlink bus | +--+--------------------------+-------+----+ | | | +-------+---------+ | | | (4) controller | / \ +-----------------+ / \ | | +------------------+--+ +--+------------------+ | (3) kernel user "X" | | (3) kernel user "Y" | +---------------------+ +---------------------+
Figure 6: Generic Netlink Architecture
When looking at figure #6 it is important to note that any Generic Netlink
user can communicate with any other user over the bus using the same API
regardless of where the user resides in relation to the kernel/userspace
Generic Netlink communications are essentially a series of different
communication channels which are multiplexed on a single Netlink family.
Communication channels are uniquely identified by channel numbers which are
dynamically allocated by the Generic Netlink controller. The controller is a
special Generic Netlink user which listens on a fixed communication channel,
number 0x10, which is always present. Kernel or userspace users which provide
services over the Generic Netlink bus establish new communication channels by
registering their services with the Generic Netlink controller. Users who
want to use a service query the controller to see if the service exists and
to determine the correct channel number.
This section provides a more in-depth explanation of the Generic Netlink
message formats and data structures.
Generic Netlink uses the standard Netlink subsystem as a transport layer which
means that the foundation of the Generic Netlink message is the standard
Netlink message format - the only difference is the inclusion of a Generic
Netlink message header. The format of the message is defined as shown below:
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Netlink message header (nlmsghdr) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Generic Netlink message header (genlmsghdr) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Optional user specific message header | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Optional Generic Netlink message payload | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 7: Generic Netlink message format
Figure #7 is included only to give you a rough idea of how Generic Netlink
messages are formatted and sent "on the wire". In practice the Netlink and
Generic Netlink API should insulate most users from the details of the message
format and the Netlink message headers.
This section focuses on the Generic Netlink data structures as they are
defined in the kernel. A similar API exists for userspace applications using
the libnl library[1].
Generic Netlink families are defined by the genl_family structure, which is
shown below:
struct genl_family { unsigned int id; unsigned int hdrsize; char name[GENL_NAMSIZ]; unsigned int version; unsigned int maxattr; struct nlattr ** attrbuf; struct list_head ops_list; struct list_head family_list; };
Figure 8: The genl_family structure
The genl_family structure fields are used in the following manner:
- unsigned int id
This is the dynamically allocated channel number. A value of 0x0 signifies that the channel number should be assigned by the controller and the 0x10 value is reserved for use by the controller. Users should always use GENL_ID_GENERATE macro/constant (value 0x0) when registering a new family.
- unsigned int hdrsize
If the family makes use of a family specific header, its size is stored here. If there is no family specific header this value should be zero.
- char name[GENL_NAMSIZ]
This string should be unique to the family as it is the key that the controller uses to lookup channel numbers when requested.
- unsigned int version
Family specific version number.
- unsigned int maxattr
Generic Netlink makes use of the standard Netlink attributes; this value holds the maximum number of attributes defined for the Generic Netlink family.
- struct nlattr **attrbuf
This is a private field and should not be modified.
- struct list_head ops_list
This is a private field and should not be modified.
- struct list_head family_list
This is a private field and should not be modified.
Generic Netlink operations are defined by the genl_ops structure, which is
shown below:
struct genl_ops { u8 cmd; unsigned int flags; struct nla_policy *policy; int (*doit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info); int (*dumpit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct netlink_callback *cb); struct list_head ops_list; };
Figure 9: The genl_ops structure
The genl_ops structure fields are used in the following manner:
- u8 cmd
This value is unique across the corresponding Generic Netlink family and is used to reference the operation.
- unsigned int flags
This field is used to specify any special attributes of the operation. The following flags may be used (multiple flags can be OR'd together):
The operation requires the CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege
- struct nla_policy policy
This field defines the Netlink attribute policy for the operation request message. If specified, the Generic Netlink mechanism uses this policy to verify all of the attributes in the operation request message before calling the operation handler.
The attribute policy is defined as an array of nla_policy structures indexed by the attribute number. The nla_policy structure is defined as shown in figure #11.
- int (*doit)(struct skbuff *skb, struct genl_info *info)
This callback is similar in use to the standard Netlink doit() callback, the primary difference being the change in parameters.
The doit() handler receives two parameters: the first is the message buffer which triggered the handler and the second is a Generic Netlink genl_info structure which is defined as shown in figure #10.
- int (*dumpit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct netlink_callback *cb)
This callback is similar in use to the standard Netlink dumpit() callback. The dumpit() callback is invoked when the Generic Netlink message is received with the NLM_F_DUMP flag set.
The main difference between the dumpit() handler and the doit() handler is that the dumpit() handler does not allocate a message buffer for a response; a pre-allocated sk_buff is passed to the dumpit() handler as the first parameter. The dumpit() handler should fill the message buffer with the appropriate response message and return the size of the sk_buff, i.e. sk_buff->len, and the message buffer will automatically be sent to the Generic Netlink client that initiated the request. As long as the dumpit() handler returns a value greater than zero it will be called again with a newly allocated message buffer to fill. When the handler has no more data to send it should return zero; error conditions are indicated by returning a negative value. If necessary, state can be preserved in the netlink_callback parameter which is passed to the dumpit() handler; the netlink_callback parameter values will be preserved across handler calls for a single request.
- struct list_head ops_list
This is a private field and should not be modified.
Generic Netlink message information is passed by the genl_info structure, which is
shown below:
struct genl_info { u32 snd_seq; u32 snd_pid; struct nlmsghdr * nlhdr; struct genlmsghdr * genlhdr; void * userhdr; struct nlattr ** attrs; };
Figure 10: The genl_info structure
The fields are populated in the following manner:
- u32 snd_seq
This is the Netlink sequence number of the request.
- u32 snd_pid
This is the Netlink PID of the client which issued the request; it is important to note that the Netlink PID is not the same as the standard kernel PID.
- struct nlmsghdr *nlhdr
This is set to point to the Netlink message header of the request.
- struct genlmsghdr *genlhdr
This is set to point to the Generic Netlink message header of the request.
- void *userhdr
If the Generic Netlink family makes use of a family specific header, this pointer will be set to point to the start of the family specific header.
- struct nlattr **attrs
The parsed Netlink attributes from the request; if the Generic Netlink family definition specified a Netlink attribute policy then the attributes would have already been validated.
The doit() handler should do whatever processing is necessary and return zero on success or a negative value on failure. Negative return values will cause an NLMSG_ERROR message to be sent while a zero return value will only cause the NLMSG_ERROR message to be sent if the request is received with the NLM_F_ACK flag set.
Generic Netlink attribute policy is defined by the nla_policy structure, which is
shown below:
struct nla_policy { u16 type; u16 len; };
Figure 11: The nla_policy structure
The fields are used in the following manner:
- u16 type
This specifies the type of the attribute; presently the following types are defined for general use:
Undefined type
An 8-bit unsigned integer
A 16-bit unsigned integer
A 32-bit unsigned integer
A 64-bit unsigned integer
A simple boolean flag
A 64-bit time value in msecs
A variable length string
A variable length NULL terminated string
A stream of attributes
- u16 len
When the attribute type is one of the string types then this field should be set to the maximum length of the string, not including the terminal NULL byte. If the attribute type is unknown or NLA_UNSPEC then this field should be set to the exact length of the attribute's payload.
Unless the attribute type is one of the fixed-length types above, a value of zero indicates that no validation of the attribute should be performed.
The Generic Netlink mechanism is a very flexible communications mechanism and as a result there are many different ways it can be used. The following recommendations are based on conventions within the Linux kernel and should be
followed whenever possible. While not all existing kernel code follows the recommendations outlined here, all new code should consider these recommendations as requirements.
Attributes And Message Payloads
When defining new Generic Netlink message formats you must make use of the Netlink attributes wherever possible. The Netlink attribute mechanism has been carefully designed to allow for future message expansion while preserving
backward compatibility. There are also additional benefits from using Netlink attributes which include developer familiarity and basic input checking.
Most common data structures can be represented with Netlink attributes:
- scalar values ; Most scalar values already have well-defined attribute types; see section 4 for details.
- structures ; Structures can be represented using a nested attribute with the structure fields represented as attributes in the payload of the container attribute.
- arrays ; Arrays can be represented by using a single nested attribute as a container with several of the same attribute type inside each representing a spot in the array.
It is also important to use unique attributes as much as possible. This helps make the most of the Netlink attribute mechanisms and provides for easy changes to the message format in the future.
While it may be tempting to register a single operation for a Generic Netlink family and multiplex multiple sub-commands on the single operation, this is strongly discouraged for security reasons. Combining multiple behaviors
into one operation makes it difficult to restrict the operations using the existing Linux kernel security mechanisms.
Acknowledgment and Error Reporting
It is often necessary for Generic Netlink services to return an ACK or error code to the client. It is not necessary to implement an explicit acknowledgment message as Netlink already provides a flexible acknowledgment and error reporting message type called NLMSG_ERROR. When an error occurs an NLMSG_ERROR message is returned to the client with the error code returned by the Generic Netlink operation handler. Clients can also request the NLMSG_ERROR message when no error has occurred by setting the NLM_F_ACK flag on requests.

John Martin
Professor Martin on massive stars
Meet John Martin
Assistant Professor, Astronomy/Physics
- B.A. Astrophysics: University of Virginia
- Ph.D. Astronomy: Case Western Reserve University
- I was born in Washington D.C. and I grew up in that area. My father worked for the federal government at the National
Institute of Standards in Technology for 25 years. My
mom had her master's degree in biochemistry but was a stay at home mom. So I had parents that were very interested in science and in math and encouraged me in those directions. At the age of six I had a talk with my mom about what I wanted to do when I grew up, and I told her that I liked physics and I liked outer space and I asked what a good job would be, she said astrophysicist, and I latched onto the word and stuck with it.
Interesting facts:
- I'm the oldest of four children. I have three younger sisters. When I did my dissertation I went down to West Texas to the McDonald Observatory. It is one of the darkest sites for a professional observatory in the continental U.S. If you step outside on a moonless night down there you can see more stars than you could ever count. It was just an amazing place to go.
Research interests:
- Stars. Primarily hot stars and what makes them tick. I'm studying stars that are ten or more times the mass of our own sun. This makes them much hotter than the sun—two to five times hotter—and much more energetic. These stars are important because the universe started out made completely of hydrogen and helium, but our bodies have more in them than hydrogen and helium, so where did it all come from? Well, it was made inside stars, particularly large stars that go supernova and spill all of the stuff from their interiors back into the galaxy. The origin of all of the neat elements like iron, carbon and oxygen that we rely on to live were formed in these stars.
Major project underway:
- Teaching is my major project for most of the year, but I have collaborators at the University of Minnesota. We work on projects with the Hubble Space Telescope studying some of these massive stars. We also have research going on at the research observatory at UIS on a similar type of star. We're doing some long-term monitoring of several different stars to get a handle on what they're doing. They exhibit some unusual behavior so we're trying to understand the process that they are going through.
Learning philosophy:
- When I teach Astronomy 101 we do at least one group exercise every class. I try to have the students extrapolate knowledge beyond what I've given them—not anything groundbreaking, but that would make them say "Well if I know this and I know this, then I can conclude a third thing." I try to present my students with problems and then have them discuss what they know that might help them find the answer and then how to solve the problem.
Community connections:
- I try to keep in touch with amateur astronomers in the community through the Sangamon Astronomical Society. I also help run Star Parties. We have these on clear nights on Fridays during September, October, March, and April. We invite people to come to the campus observatory from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. We usually give a little talk and then give people the chance to look through the telescopes and ask any questions they have. We also do these for special events like lunar eclipses. It's just a night open to everyone to come out, look through the telescopes, and ask our astronomers questions.
Professor Martin on studying massive stars:
Advice to prospective students:
- The idea of a whole education is very prized here. What I mean by a whole education is that you know your math, you know your history, you know your science, and you know your English. Students might not enjoy one or any of those, but that's like eating your vegetables. You have to eat them so that you're healthy and prepared for everything else. If you build yourself a strong foundation from the beginning, you will get a lot more out of your education.
Best thing about UIS:
- Small classes. In Physics, we start introductory classes with 30 students in the fall, and that winnows itself out by second semester down to 10 to 15 people. At any other state university, no intro class would have as few as 30 students. One other thing we're really proud of is that the professors teach the labs. It's not graduate students, it's professors. This gives our students a great advantage. My focus is teaching, so when students come here, they get a lot of individual attention. They get to know their professors and profit from that interaction.

ZF-1276: add ignore_user_abort to Zend_Cache_Backend_File
If the user disconnect during the write process the cache contains not clompleted data. This can shirk by set the ignore_user_abort to off and after writing to prior value again.
I suggest considering adding this as an option to Zend_Cache.
IMHO, this is useless.
With the default configuration, the hash key won't be ok so the cache will be dropped.
So it's not really a problem if the cache contains not completed data because it won't be used (readControl feature)
True, but in some situations, a failed cache write could be avoided using ingore_user_abort().
sure but is it enough to add a new option in Zend_Cache core ?
I prefer to keep the core away from "not really usefull" options because : - the code is cleaner - perfs are better
I don't have any strong feelings on this, and won't object if you close the issue, because developers could call ignore_user_abort() themselves. However, I doubt adding the following would affect perfs in any meaningful way for those not enabling the proposed option:
if ($this->_options['user_abort']) { $abort = ignore_user_abort(true); }
if ($this->_options['user_abort']) { ignore_user_abort($abort); }
On the other hand, if something slow and costly was calculated and written by Zend_Cache* corrupted because of a user abort not ignored, the perf cost could be large.
I don't know. I prefer to take some time to think about it.
Zend_Cache related issue, assigned to Fabien until he has thought about it ;-)
ok for 1.1.0
fixed in SVN

ZF-7857: Parsing WSDL documents documentation is incorrect
The (English) documentation states that you can parse your WSDL documents with
$parser = Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Parser::factory($dom); $result = $parser->parse();
This will result in a fatal error thrown by PHP saying the file Zend/Soap/Wsdl/Parser.php can't be found. I've found out that this file has been removed since ZF 1.8.0.
The documentation needs an update for how this is done by the latest releases.
That class is deprecated, please don't use it. The documentation for the WSDL parser made it in there by accedient i guess, I'll remove that immediately.
Removed mention of untested, unmaintained, non-working Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Parser class from the documentation.

Recently I came out second in a pre-release tournament when I was home on leave.
I know the new rules and I'm actually trying to go in as a Pokemon Professor at the official TCG site.
If you have TCG questions, or game mechanics, I can answer them... well... make sure to add the text of the cards as well. There are so many cards out there that it takes me while to remember them.

Woot! I thought I was the only who has played the video game...that Windows 95 computer served me well...and GOD I hated that stupid girl Julie or w/e... Anyhoo yes I know how to play it by the vid game rules...energy cards, discard pile etc... I even had a mat and like 5,000 cards to play with. Aahh old-timed Pokemon...(:
there was a TCG video game for the GBC too.
Really now? Strange how people don't want to play a game properly by the rules and then complain how lame the game is. That's just foolish.
It's as if someone used their hands in football and complained how easy it is to score a goal instead of kicking it in. Lameness...

I can play the old style. Mostly because of the video game they had
They broke the game by adding SP Pokémon. They're like Gymleader Pokémon (not sure if you played that long, but the GYM set back in the day had Pokémon with Gymleaders names in them. Like Misty's Poliwag and Misty's Poliwhirl or Brock's Sandshrew or Brock's Sandslash). They couldn't evolve from regular Pokémon, they HAD to evolve from the correct Gymleaders Pokémon. And a Gymleader's Pokémon couldn't evolve into a regular Pokémon too.
Well, SP Pokémon are basic Gymleader Pokémon, but are super cheap. They deal high damage for low energy cost, or do great game mechanics for low energy cost or simply do uber stuff without any draw backs.

I dont know the old way, i remember a while back before HGSS came out going to the pokemon website and doing the game demo, it was fun until i figure it stopped in the middle of it all and now i know the new rules, what are the old ones?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaybeelee Beautiful serene artwork I ordered this online, and was hoping it met my needs. It has absolutely exceeded all my expectations. The colors are brighter than they look online, and I get lots of compliments. From a small distance it looks like a real painting. I was so happy with this purchase that I ordered another in the series for a different room. September 23, 2013

Ushio Shinohara, who along with his artist wife Noriko (shown left with CUAC's Adam Bateman) are the subjects of a Sundance documentary "Cutie and the Boxer," demonstrated his "action painting" in Salt Lake City at the CUAC Gallery Monday night.
After the film was screened in Salt Lake City, 81-year-old Ushio donned boxing gloves wrapped in sponges. He dipped the gloves respectively in black and red paint and shadow boxed against a white paper sheet stretched across a wall of CUAC gallery.
Ushio's "boxing paintings' obviously have more to do with the performance spectacle—which delighted a packed CUAC crowd, many of whom were splattered with paint.
Ushio and cutie Noriko's art is being exhibited at CUAC through the film festival.

Second-Ranked Mens Lights Vie For Murtaugh Cup, Take On Navy/Columbia
National Poll l @TigerLights l @PUTigers
The second-ranked Princeton men's lightweight rowing team will look for a second straight Cup retention this Saturday morning, as it heads to Overpeck Park to take on both Navy and Columbia.
The varsity eight showdown between Princeton and Navy will be for the Murtaugh Cup, named for the highly successful former Tiger lightweight coach, Joe Murtaugh.
"The championships in May and June are certainly the focus, but Cup races are the real body of the season," junior Bowen Peard said. "Crews grow a lot week to week, and racing our competition in duel races is a large part of this growth. We hope to gain maturity and race experience that will serve us well as we enter our most intense competitions.
"And, of course, we hope to have fun doing what we have been training for the past six months to do — to race boats," Peard added.
Peard was part of Princeton's successful season opener last weekend, when the Princeton varsity eight defeated Georgetown by more than 23 seconds to retain the Fosburgh Cup. It was part of a perfect day for the men's lights, who overcame some challenging weather to post an unbeaten morning.
"Our team is relatively young this year, but there is still a great deal of rowing experience to go around," Peard said. "There are four returners from last year's boat in the 1V, and I think their experience and some fresh blood made for a dynamic combination. We rowed that race with a lot of fire, but also with good composure, and it will be exciting to see what speed the boat will be able to pick up over the next two months."
The Murtaugh Cup was originally scheduled to be the lightweight season opener, but the extended winter forced a postponement. Thus, each team has one race under its belt heading into the weekend. Navy fell by less than five seconds to No. 2 Yale. Columbia, the regatta host, will be making its season debut; the Lions and Midshipmen will race for the WIT Cup in the varsity eight competition.
Princeton won last year's season-opening race against Navy by more than nine seconds, and it topped Columbia by less than three seconds in the regular season finale. The Lions avenged that result at Eastern Sprints, though, finishing just ahead of the Tigers in the V8 grand final.
Ultimately, peaking at Sprints is the ultimate goal for the men's lightweights, and this team is still in the early stages of developing the chemistry needed to be successful that Sunday in Worcester.
"Everyone has their own technical shortcomings to work on, but most basically, we all need to get comfortable rowing together, and to learn to take the water and apply pressure in the same way," Peard said.
Of course, if the Tigers can continue to pick up victories along the way, all the better.

anemia (low number of red blood cells). The sickle cells also get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow.[1] Signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease usually begin in early childhood and may include anemia, repeated infections, and periodic episodes of pain (called crises). This condition is caused by mutations in the HBB gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.[2] Treatment typically focuses on controlling symptoms and may include pain medicines during crises; hydroxyurea to reduce the number of pain episodes; antibiotics and vaccines to prevent bacterial infections; and blood transfusions.[1]Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells that have a crescent or sickle shape. These cells do not last as long as normal, round, red blood cells, which leads to

My Triumph Pre-Unit trans arrived a few days ago and it's got me tickled pink!
I'm quite excited to have a foot shifter behind my ol' 45!
Of course I have questions for all the guys who have also have british trannies!
Such as:
-Chain or belt primary? Do belts stretch/need adjustment?
-What front pulley (size) are you using (especially if using a belt!)
-Does anyone sell a kit in the U.S....?
Or heck, even anywhere?
I'd love to run a belt-drive primary on my 45, and I know it can be done, I just need to find out who supplies what!!
(and YES, I already have the "victory" printed literature!)

Dangerous Encounters departs from its traditional format of traversing the globe and focuses on powerful, elusive and deadly animals right here in the United States. As he travels across the country, Brady seeks out the help of locals and scientists to locate and study a series of remarkable animals that are often overlooked. But not to worry, Dr. Brady Barr still brings his unique scientific approach to each encounter.
Always willing to go the distance, Brady faces his ultimate fear this seasonreturning to rodeo clown school and mounting a bucking bull. Applying the same techniques he famously used in the past to disguise himself as a hippo and crocodile, Brady enlists the help of a stuffed animal and remote-controlled car to analyze a lethal predator. And even with more than 20 years of experience tracking and studying reptiles, Brady finds himself unprepared for an epic battle with a rogue alligator and calls on a Nat Geo WILD cameraman for help. Using the few materials they have on hand, the unlikely duo wrangles the phantom beast with a pair of jumper cables and Brady's underwear … yes, his underwear!
Episodes include Raging Bulls, Pets vs. Predators, Home Invasion, Vacation Nighmares, Bayou Beasts, and Phantom Killer.

Over the last three decades, science has been advancing our understanding of stresshow it impacts our bodies and how our social standing can make us more or less susceptible. From baboon troops on the plains of Africa, to neuroscience labs at Stanford University, scientists are revealing just how lethal stress can be. Research tells us that the impact of stress can be found deep within us, shrinking our brains, adding fat to our bellies, even unraveling our chromosomes. Understanding how stress works can help us figure out ways to combat it and how to live a life free of the tyranny of this contemporary plague. In Stress: Portrait of a Killer, scientific discoveries in the field and in the lab prove that stress is not just a state of mind, but something measurable and dangerous.

Comments about Stress: Portrait of a Killer DVD:
Viewing this DVD was enlightening and a cause for concern at the same time.Realizing that stress could be a killer I purchased several more copies over the next year or so I feltTrying to relate the substance of the DVD myself was inadequate to bring the subject matter home to friends and loved ones so I begin handing the DVD out so these people could have the same somewhat alarming experience I had when watching this stress DVD
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My son, 20 and a college student, was experiencing difficulty managing the stress of the adult world. He is his toughest critic and his expectations are very high. I had similar struggles when I was his age. The Stress DVD gave me a platform to share the negative consequences of a formerly stressed life.

S�o Paulo State
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: S�o Paulo State
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionS�o Paulo State?s Contribution to Rio+20: Targets for Energy Sector (Summary) The 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development will address three main topics (Poverty Reduction, Green Economy and Governance), in connection to the previous decisions, specially those concerned with the 1992 Rio and the 2002 WSSD. This proposal from S�o Paulo State focus the global Energy sector, revisiting the 2002 Brazilian Initiative for a global target on renewable energy (10% by 2010) and the Millennium Development Goals. TARGET 1: MINIMUM LEVELS OF PER CAPITA RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICITY SUPPLY The first target proposed is TARGET 1: ?All countries should provide a minimum per capita residential electricity of 600 kWh by 2030, through cleaner technologies and technicalfinancial support from the international community.? This is based on the rationale that (i) electricity is a versatile energy carrier, providing basic services that other types cannot achieve - communications, lighting, basic refrigeration etc. Figure 1); (ii) this basic prerequisite for development is still out of reach for most of the population in the poorer countries (Figure 2) (iii) good quality energy services provide women empowerment and thus control population in an ethically acceptable way (Figure 3). (iv) good quality energy services provide women empowerment and thus control population in an ethically acceptable way (Figure 3). (v) all countries with a ?Low? HDI - Human Development Index (i.e. below 0.5, Figure 4) have a per capita residential electricity consumption below 200 kWh/yr, below a minimum level necessary for development; (vi) countries with a per capita residential electricity consumption above 600 kWh/yr have a minimally reasonable HDI; (vii) the HDI is still one of the best indicators of development, encompassing income, mortality and education; (viii) Access to modern energy services support the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), specially to around 1.4 billion people without electricity and more 1.3 people utilizing traditional biomass; Population in countries with low HDI (below 0.5) is around 1.02 billion people. To supply all these people with 600 kWh by 2030 it would be necessary to generate additional 531 TWh, through 242 GW of installed capacity, at a cost of US$ 53 billion over 18 years. Average annual Growth (12%) is ambitious, although acceptable considering the rapid evolution of technologies and access to development strategies. TARGET 2: INCREMENTAL SHARE OF RENEWABLES IN THE PRIMARY ENERGY MATRIXES OF ALL COUNTRIES The other target revisits the Brazilian proposal at the WSSD (a 10% global target on renewables by 2010) and is stated as: TARGET 2: ?All countries should increase the share of renewables in each country?s total primary energy supply, taking as a base the levels of year 2008 (ie 13%), in additional 4% (ie 17% of total) by 2030 and in additional 14% (ie 27% of total) by 2050? The rationale is the following: (i) the proposal for a global target on renewables was in practice misunderstood by many delegates at the WSSD: many countries with RE shares above 10% perceived that they should not act; some countries with RE below 10% perceived that would be a huge and uneven task; moreover, the number 10% was considered arbitrary by some; (ii) although the proposal for a numeric target could not reach a consensus, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) has recognized the importance of renewable energy (RE) sources for all of the three pillars of sustainable development (SD); (iii) JPOI also recognizes the importance of targets and timetables in the energy sector; (iv) Increasing the share of RE in all matrixes also encompasses the implicit idea of Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EE&C), perfectly connected to any objective concerning the concept of Green Economy; (v) The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Renewable Energy (IPCC SRREN), approved under consensus by around 200 countries, recognizes the relationship RE-SD; (vi) The IPCC SRREN also provides scenarios (Figure 5) with the relationship between levels of RE and greenhouse gas concentration pathways ? a condition to have average global temperatures stabilized at safe levels, addressing one of the major environmental threats mankind is facing today (as well as being in connection with the ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, proposed at the UNCED 1992); (vii) The window of opportunity is closing; delayed climate action is likely to entail additional costs to economy, as shown in reports such as the Stern Review. According to the IPCC (2011), renewable energy sources (hydro, biomass, solar, wind, ocean, geothermal, marine) represented 12.9% (63.5 EJ) of world primary energy in 2008. The IPCC SRREN, a compilation of existing scientific information, shows ranges of RE supply consistent to carbon dioxide (CO2) levels below 400 parts per million (ppm), based on 164 literature scenarios. Such compilation provides the following median levels2 of (i) 139 EJ/year in 2030 (17% of total primary energy supply) and (ii) year 248 EJ/ in 2050 (27% of total). This requires growths in RE of approximately 3.6%/yr in the period 2008-2030 and 2.9%/yr between 2030 and 2050. Such high rates require integrated policies with energy efficiency and conservation. Countries with low HDI could be exempted from this rule while such condition lasts, but with a commitment towards long-term convergence to this end. Conclusion Such proposals entail the third topic to be discussed at Rio+20: governance. Under the present financial crisis, leveraging the electricity consumption would add to the consumption market more than 1 billion people. An economy driven by renewables and energy efficiency is much likely to be labeled as ?Green?, in a dynamic and sustainable process. ANNEX Figure 1.

Cecil Newton released a statement Thursday evening saying he would not attend the Heisman Trophy ceremony Saturday, where his son Cam Newton is expected to win the award, putting to rest questions about his appearance.
This is undoubtedly the right move for everyone involved. But something still feels wrong about this.
According to Counseling & Empowerment Consulting Group based in Florida, at least 80 percent of African American children can expect to spend "a significant" portion of their childhood living without their biological father. And the list of tragic statistics concerning fatherless youth go on and on, hitting young black men the hardest.
Cecil Newton's choices cost him an opportunity to take part in one of the most important days in his son's amateur football career. And it cost African American youth a chance to see an important photo of a mother and father standing beside their son in celebration.

The Administrator of the Bay County Health Department has issued a rabies alert for the eastern geographical region of Bay County, Florida. This is in response to cats that tested positive for rabies on September 20, 2011 and October 12, 2011.
All citizens in Bay County should be aware that rabies is present in the wild animal population. Domestic animals are also at risk if not vaccinated. The public is asked to maintain a heightened awareness that rabies is active in Bay County. Alerts are designed to increase awareness to the public, but they should not give a false sense of security to areas that have not been named as under an alert.
The recent rabies alert is for 60 days. The centers of the alert include the Bayhead area of Youngstown and the area north of 7th Street, between School Avenue and Transmitter Road, in Springfield. The rabies alert includes the following area boundaries in Bay County:
— East of Highway 77
— South of Highway 231
— North of Highway 231
— East of Deerpoint Lake
An animal with rabies could infect other wild animals or domestic animals that have not been vaccinated against rabies. All domestic animals should be vaccinated against rabies. All wildlife contact should be avoided, particularly raccoons, bats, foxes, skunks, otters, bobcats and coyotes.
Rabies is a disease of the nervous system and is fatal to warm blooded animals and humans. The only treatment for human exposure to rabies is rabies specific immune globulin and rabies immunization. Appropriate treatment started soon after the exposure, will protect an exposed person from the disease.
The following advice is issued:
— All pets should have current rabies immunizations.
— Secure outside garbage in covered containers to avoid attracting wild animals.
— Do not leave pet food outside. This also attracts other animals.
— For questions regarding the health of an animal, contact a veterinarian.
— Veterinarian staff and animal control staff should be alert for animals encountered with signs suspicious for rabies and use appropriate precautions, especially when working with unvaccinated animals.
— If bitten or scratched by an animal, wash the wound immediately with soap and water. Seek medical treatment as needed and report the injury to the Bay County Health Department at (850) 872-4720, X1125. If the animal is a stray or wild animal, call Bay County Animal Control at (850) 248-6030 and report its location. Follow up.
— Rabies is preventable when treatment is provided in a timely manner.
— Avoid contact with all wildlife, especially raccoons, bats, and foxes.
— No animal is too young to have rabies.
— For general questions pertaining to animals, contact the Bay County Animal Control at (850) 248-6030.
For further information on rabies, go to the Florida Department of Health website: website:

Re: Manual Configuration, pathing errors in IIS and ISAPI setup
Chris @ 11-Oct-2006 and phpmanual at pbb dot dds dot nl @ 07-Oct-2004 are both correct.
Problem is not with PHP but with IIS (mine is v5.1).
Installed PHP into C:\Program Files\PHP, and set environment variable PATH to path as stated.
When selecting the installation of php5isapi.dll via IIS Administrator, IIS would insert the path as:
"C:\Program Files\PHP\php5isapi.dll" (note the quotes and space in directory name)
All scripts ran and produced a HTTP 500 error.
Replaced ISAPI path in IIS with:
C:\PROGRA~1\PHP\php5isapi.dll (note the removal of the quotes and spaces, and the replacement of the path with 8.3 format names)
All scripts ran w/o problems.
Thanks to all! I hope someone can report if a similar problem exists with IIS6/7.

Leave it to Berkeley to bring back the barter system. Transition Berkeley, an organization that works with local communities to encourage sustainability and emphasize the importance of locally grown food rather than fossil fuels, is hosting what they call a "Crop Swap".
Every Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., participants will have the opportunity to trade their goods with others. You don't have to stick to food, either; flowers and herbs are also acceptable.
The Swap will be held across from North Berkeley BART on the Ohlone Greenway at Sacramento and Delaware and will also be a chance to socialize with other local gardeners. Let's just keep it legal here, folks.

A man stopped on De. Route 1 last week for talking on his cell phone while driving turned out to be carrying more than 250 grams of cocaine, according to police.
Troopers stopped 36-year-old Philadelphia resident Orishafemi Swint's Pontiac Grand Prix on soutbound Route 1 near the Pole Bridge Road about 1 p.m., according to Delaware State Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack.
A search of Swint's car was conducted after a K-9 officer detected the presence of illegal drugs in the vehicle, he said.
Troopers then discovered 252 grams of cocaine in the truck, with a street value of about $10,000, Shavack said.
Swint is charged with possession of cocaine in a Tier 5 quantity, possession with intent to deliver cocaine and traffice violations.
He later was released after posting a $22,560 secured bond, Shavack said.
