Please click here for his contact details.
On Thursday 27 November 2014, Arno will defend his dissertation, entitled 'Popular Music Memories: Places and practices of popular music heritage, memory and cultural identity'.
Ever since the late 1950s, people have grown up with popular music as an important element of their daily lives. This dissertation explores the connections between popular music memories, cultural identity and cultural heritage, looking at the different ways in which popular music is remembered and evokes memories. In so doing, the dissertation examines the various memory practices of the cultural and heritage industries, ranging from the bottom-up activities of music preservation by fans to institutional forms of popular music heritage in museums. The studies presented in this work draw on interviews with heritage practitioners, cultural industry workers and music audiences. The research reveals the meanings of popular music memories for the cultural identities of individuals and communities. It also demonstrates how these memories enable a sense of self and identity and time and place.

Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 12
Mixed: 2 out of 12
Negative: 9 out of 12
A surprisingly effective teen-skewing thriller that soft-pedals graphic violence (in marked contrast to the R-rated 1980 original) while generating a fair degree of suspense.
Formulaic to the core, this reworking of the fondly remembered high-school slasher picture works surprisingly well on its own terms.
The movie offers less gore than the average Band-Aid commercial and fewer scares than the elimination episodes of "Dancing With the Stars."
McCormick and screenwriter J.S. Cardone don't have one original thought between them, but they do appear to share an obsession with characters opening hotel-room closets in which the steel hangers gleam ominously.
There's really nothing much to Prom Night: No twists, no atmosphere, no big Grand Guignol setpieces, not a single moment when it tries to do something novel with the event, the killings, the villain, or the victims. It's a little like going on a tour of the slaughterhouse, where death is meted out with mechanical regularity, but visitors are kept at a safe, PG-13 distance from all the butchering.
A nearly bloodless slasher film with fewer surprises than a broken jack-in-the-box.

Positive: 15 out of 44
Mixed: 2 out of 44
Negative: 27 out of 44

Twitter Turns 8; May Drop Hashtags and @replies 96
from the #-your-fist-@-them-in-rage dept.
Up the character limit to 160 to harmonize with SMS.
1. Build Twitter with features people love.
2. Remove said features infuriating the masses.
3. Re-introduce said features as a premium feature.
4. Profit?
Nothing else seems to be working for them...
You know, I used to think that. Facebook is a lot worse than Twitter when it comes to the 'tard community. Plus, you've got people with their hand out, asking to be your "friend" and I really don't like that.
Plus, Facebook is so intrusive. Twitter is more useful because you can be anonymous and just be a listener, if you prefer.
I'm not a big fan of the "social" aspect of social media. Now that there seems to be an all-out attack on RSS by publishers, Twitter is a very good way to follow news.
I still don't get twitter.

GStreamer 0.10 Is Dead, But 1.0 Has Lots Of Good Stuff
Published on 28 August 2012 02:10 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
Tim-Philipp Müller of Collabora delivered the keynote this morning on the second and final day of the
2012 GStreamer Conference
. Similar to
yesterday's keynote about GStreamer 1.0
, Tim-Philipp Müller talked about how GStreamer 0.10 is dead and the future is with the soon-to-release GStreamer 1.0 and more of the future plans for this multimedia framework.
Here are some of my notes from this morning's keynote from San Diego:
- GStreamer 0.10 is dead. Müller acknowledged, "we haven't managed the transition very well [from 0.10 to 0.11/1.0." They may do bug-fixes if they can easily cherry pick it to 0.10, but there's no new development at all going into it. "Current 0.10 Git is a little unsavoury...It's not great." In terms of any future 0.10.x point releases, "we might do another 0.10 bug-fix release but no promises."
- Going from 0.10 to 1.0 is an evolution, not revolution. "Most things are still the same." For application developers the migration path to the new 0.11/1.0 API should be fairly easy while there is more pain exposed to GStreamer plug-in developers.
- New features of GStreamer 1.0 were highlighted like the dynamic pipelines, renegotiation support for all pipeline configurations, Table of Contents (ToC) support, VA-API hardware-accelerated video decoding, a video overlay composition API, better Windows plug-ins, better OS X plug-ins, the GStreamer SDK, etc.
- The GStreamer 1.0 status is that most all work has been completely ported, many elements from -bad also ported, many apps ported (namely the GStreamer GNOME applications) and are working, and porting apps was really easy going from 0.10.
- What's TODO for 1.0: the hard work has been done, conceptually the API is ready, and just some tinkering around the edges is finished. Almost everything has been ported.
- GStreamer 2.0 will be the next time there's an ABI break. There will be more bug-fixing going forward with 1.0.x point releases while GStreamer 1.1.x will be used for pre-releases. "We need to get bug-fixes out faster."
- Ongoing and future work for GStreamer includes in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), in-flight entertainment (IFE), DVB support / STBs, MPEG-TS support, and better connectivity (DLNA, SmartTV, etc). Some other future work also includes sub-titles using the overlay composition API, more application control, output-surface resolution dependent sub-title rendering, and support for more formats. Also being planned is better VDPAU video decoding support, better and more natural OpenGL integration, generic context sharing / distribution, and multi-view 3D video support. Some other items talked about were optimizations of new features, video parsing library improvements, GES improvements, better device discovery and probing, "smooth as butter" stream switching, play-list support, splitting the gst-plugins-bad module, Bluetooth plug-ins, and development tools/debugging improvements. For development tools/debugging there are hopes for better error reporting, tools collection, and ideas floating around about dot file dumps (dumping the GStreamer pipeline and also ideas for making it interactive).

"The Earthly Paradise design evokes regal beauty while clearly displaying the text. This could be improved by offering a silver themed color combo, as well."
"We used these invitations for our wedding in the blue/purple colors. We also used the enclosure cards for the RSVP. They were absolutely beautiful. I chose to have rounded corners on these and the paper was textured in a way that make the colors look like they were truly watercolor paintings.

5 People In The Right (Or Wrong) Place At The Right Time During NFL Week 9
From players to referees to fans, everyone is getting in on the Week 9 action…but maybe not in the way they imagined. Here's 5 people who were in the right (or wrong) place at the right time…
Five Things: Colts Vs. Texans Thursday Night Roundup
The Colts went up 24-0 in the first quarter this Week 6 Thursday Night Football matchup. Could've been another blowout, but the Texans made of game of it.
Thursday Night Fantasy Starters: Andrew Luck, Arian Foster And Reggie Wayne
Colts-Texans could come down to a last-second field goal, and it appears to be an excellent week to play perhaps the greatest placekicker in NFL history in the Colts' Adam Vinatieri.
Thursday Night Football Breakdown: Indianapolis Colts At Houston Texans
Could this be it-the first competitive Thursday night game of the 2014 NFL season? The Colts visit Houston as just a three-point favorite, and both teams are 3-2, so at the risk of being the Mary Swanson to your Lloyd Christmas, I'm saying there's a chance.
CBS Sports Chris Simms Talks Colts Vs. Texans On Thursday Night Football
The Houston Texans are looking better in 2014 and the Indianapolis Colts have turned things around after a slow start to the year. Former NFL quarterback and CBS analyst Chris Simms took time to talk to me about the upcoming AFC South battle on Thursday Night Football, and he had some great things to say.
Sharrif Floyd Looks To Continue Vikings Tradition Of Good Defensive Tackles
The Minnesota Vikings have a long tradition of having very good defensive tackles. They drafted Sharrif Floyd in the first round of the 2013 draft in hopes that he can continue the trend. He learned a lot of from former teammate Kevin Williams and slimmed down in the offseason to reach his full potential. This season should be the beginning of the Floyd era in Minnesota.

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More
Machine Head
What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves. With a mistake so many made in their youth, this band singlehandedly torpedoed themselves from ascending to the heights in metal held by only the select few like Metallica and Megadeth before them. After THE MORE THINGS CHANGE came… Read More
Nashville Outlaws
With the music industry pretty much dead anymore, nothing really comes off as shocking.

Sammy Hagar
I get it. You are Sammy Hagar. You've seen huge success in virtually every world you've entered. In music, he was the main focus of Montrose. He parlayed that into a very successful solo career. That wasn't enough, so he joined the world's largest band at the time (Van Halen), and took them to commercial heights that even they… Read More
Cavalera Conspiracy
There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time. The bad news is it's generally spotty at best, because he simply writes and releases too much music at the same time. His band Soulfly released… Read More
With a ton of speculation and even more wonderment on this band's ability to continue on without founding members Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, Slipknot has returned after far too long of a layoff with .5 THE GRAY MATTER. I've listened to this release multiple times a day for the last week or so that I've had it,… Read More
I'm sure I'll probably get killed here by my metal brethren, but I actually like Godsmack. Certainly, I realize they are a more metal version of Nickelback; a band whose sole goal is to create three or four radio hits on each album, sell a good amount of music and concert tickets, and basically be a key cog in the radio rock syndicate. I get it - it's less about the art of music than the business of music with them. That said, they have been consistently solid with their albums...so much so that most say they are the modern day AC/DC where there's NO difference from record to record. For Godsmack, all a new album means to most people is that they will be invading radio with the sames songs as always...but with different words attached to them.
Fear Factory
For the purists out there, this version of Fear Factory that only features original members Burton C. Bell and Dino Cazares just doesn't measure up as the "real deal". To those people, I hope you enjoy missing out on one of the greatest resurgences in all of heavy metal. Without question, Fear Factory was at a point where it was time to give it up and do other things. Albums like ARCHETYPE and TRANSGRESSION were just shells of the former intensity that the band had possessed, and most thought these guys were done. Still, Bell rekindled his relationship with Cazares, pushed aside other original members, and forged ahead. If it did nothing else, the extremely solid MECHANIZE proved that the fire in the band was always spawned from the riffs of Cazares and the voice of Bell. With THE INDUSTRIALIST, they have seemingly taken it all the way back to their best era of the band.
Over the last few years, one of the most busy and biggest growing metal bands as far as reputation has been Havok. These guys have proven, right from the start, to be one of the most motivated and hardworking bands on the planet. They seem to be doing one of two things at every moment for the last 3 years...touring or recording. These new band creates what has to be considered the freshest dose of Bay Area Thrash throwback music the metal scene has seen in quite some time. There are other bands that have come along with them (Warbringer, Lazarus AD, Municipal Waste), but Havok is the only one that has seemingly stayed busy every step of the way and gained its share of attention.
From listening to THE EPISODES from Taproot, I guess it really wasn't that far of a leap for them to go from talented alternative rock band to a more emo flavored version of said talented alternative rock band. You have to give these Michigan rockers credit for keeping themelves somewhat relevant in the wake of a trendy landscape that has changed markedly since they debuted.
It's amazing how many of these second and third tier "classic metal" bands there are out there. Specifically, it's truly amazing how many bands there are that around around 20 years old, never made much of an impact, but still crank out this kind of heavy metal that touches on thrash elements from time to time. We all know the big names that have had success doing this kind of music - Metal Church, Helloween - you know...classic metal bands that are either grand in their sound, heavy in their riffs, or both from time to time. For every great one though, there's always the more workmanlike bands that put out solid material but just can't find that extra whatever to take them over the top. Bands like Meliah Rage, Tankard or Helstar immediately jump to my mind.
I know for many people, the fact that Accept is back with a vengeance is a bad thing since lead vocalist Udo Dirkschneider is not along for the ride. I guess, on some level, I wish he was there as well. That said though, I think I'm one of the few that enjoys his post Accept band U.D.O. just as much as I ever did Accept. Let's be honest here - all U.D.O. amounts to is Accept with a slightly more electronic edge to them. To my ears, they are virtually the same band. The vocals are obviously the same, and even the guitar players have names that sound somewhat similar (Wolf Hoffman - Stefan Kaufmann). It may just be due to pressure, but the last two U.D.O. albums DOMINATOR and REV-RAPTOR have smoked sonically. Needless to say, when the latest CELEBRATOR came across my desktop, I was definitely excited.
Wolfbrigade are a band of some irony. They are a punk meets metal band, and yet, they have landed on a stoner rock label like Southern Lord to release their latest album, DAMNED. While heavily punk influenced, their latest release is far more brutal than you would expect from a band of this ilk. Checking in from the road, Dadde from Wolfbrigade checked in to explain just what's going on with the band, with DAMNED, and with their decision to take a full year off before reconvening with DAMNED.
Shadows Fall
There's definitely some credit that has to be given to Shadows Fall. Without question, they are one of the most recognizable band from a collection of extreme metal bands to have broken out in the early 2000s. When you look at their contemporaries - God Forbid, Lamb Of God, Killswitch Engage - they fit perfectly in there with that small collection of bands that a lot of modern metalheads actually care about from release to release. To me personally, they've done the most with the least amount of "it" factor. To their credit (or discredit if you must), they have always featured a sound that's all their own while merging pieces parts from everything else around them.

LMPD, FBI to Discuss Dangers of Laser Pointers and Aircraft
By Staff
Louisville Metro Police and other authorities will discuss the "growing problem" of people using laser pointers on aircraft, which LMPD says can lead to "catastrophic results."
LMPD pilots will be joined at a news conference Wednesday by representatives from the FBI and the University of Louisville Police, a news release said. Authorities will urge people to be aware of the dangers laser pointers pose to aircraft, and they'll also discuss a recent arrest.

Rap fans, you can exhale. The female pit bull in a skirt, E-V-E is back with a new album and a partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Philadelphia native Eve Jihan Jeffries, now 34, left a void in rap music when she put her rap career aside for a decade after 2002's "Eve-olution." By then, she'd scored a Grammy with Gwen Stefani for "Let Me Blow Your Mind" and was one of rap's reigning queens. Eve enjoyed a successful film and TV career starring in her own self-titled show on UPN for three seasons and then appearing in movies like "Barbershop 2" and "XXX."

Miley Cyrus and Sugarland Duke It Out For Top Spot
- Miley Cyrus and Sugarland are duking it out for the top spot on next week's Billboard 200. Cyrus stood at 110,000 sales while Sugarland wasn't far behind with sales of 108,000 at the close of the business day yesterday.
- Country music bad girl Mindy McCready admitted herself to a treatment facility, following a trip to the emergency room last week. A source close to McCready's management told E! News that the singer checked into the hospital after overdosing on the sleeping pill Ambien while ingesting vodka. TMZ is reporting it as a failed suicide attempt.
- The Listening Post's Eliot Van Buskirk asks: "Does associating a band with a brand constitute a dangerous loss of credibility on the band's part, or should artists be thankful that at least somebody's paying them, and happily cash the check?" The 9513 reader Peter Kohan brought up the same topic back in March on his own blog, Appetite for Disruption, and insists that all artists need to "sell out" to corporate interests at some stage in their career.
- Jamey Johnson has a new website.
- In an article for Sports Illustrated Vince Gill talks about his love for golf and draws comparisons between the game and being a musician: (via NashvilleGab)
The biggest parallel between golf and music is the creativity. You have to have a creative mind to figure out how to play a shot. You must also develop the physical repetition and muscle memory–those are the same in playing a musical instrument as they are in golf. And there is as much reward in hitting a really great shot as there is in hitting the perfect notes while singing or playing a song.
- In other Vince news, he's tearing a page out of the James Taylor playbook and going on an acoustic tour.
- PopMatters' Aarik Danielsen heaps more praise on the Hacienda Brothers' Arizona Motel, even dubbing it one of the best country albums of the year.
- For some, an obsession with Dolly Parton is a way of life and you can watch their stories in the new DVD, For the Love of Dolly. Craig Shelburne posted a trailer and gives us the synopsis:
The film follows the lives of a handful of extreme Dolly Parton fans. One young man surprised his family by overcoming the struggles of a serious illness by taking up Dolly as a hobby. (He makes gifts to give her during her annual Dollywood parade.) One middle-aged couple's Dolly collection threatens to take over their home. And finally, two young ladies… well, their obsession is more than a little disturbing. For example, one girl takes a splinter of wood from the replica cabin at Dollywood, matches the color at Home Depot and remodels the back of her house to look exactly like the cabin. Yikes.
- Why didn't anyone tell Jeff Bates he was rich? (via Roughstock)
- Scott Shumway and his band Mama's Boys, consisting of his five sons, were scheduled to play this past Saturday at Showtime Utah in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Unfortunately Scott had to have emergency surgery two hours before showtime. The band told the audience what had happened, and to their surprise, Collin Raye was in the audience and volunteered to help them out.
25 Comments
Well now, Sugarland and Miley. I've always thought they had a lot in common. And frankly, that "ooh ooh ooh" thing on the radio right now is worse than anything I've heard of Miley's.
Jeff Bates – now that's just downright funny!
Collin Raye – I've always loved Collin.
Vince Gill – I'd love to see / hear a show from the acoustic tour, but it's coming nowhere near me. :-(
I see the whole "selling out" thing very differently than Elliot van Buskirk. I get a kick out of hearing "The Funeral" from Band of Horses on the Ford commerical. I think it gives the commercial a bit of artistic cred even. What I think is cheesy is when the artist turns into "jingle-writer" ala Toby Keith's Ford Truck Man, or Old 97's Chili's commercial from a couple of years back. Dont get me wrong, I dont blame any of them, and dont think being involved with corporate america means they are "selling out". I dont think many acts CAN sell-out, actually. For example, someone as slick and poppy as Rascal Flatts cant sell out cuz they are a commercial product to begin with. They write songs to sell albums by the millions. If James McMurtry or Guy Clark (whose album sales barely make a blip in their bank acct.) all of a sudden recorded "Redneck Yacht Club", or "Bob Your Head" in order to "cash-in", then that's selling out….
Wait to see what happens to Miley's sales numbers once her fan base gets back from summer camp! (lol)
As for commercial tie ins, Ashlee Hewitt has really got a head start with Mike's Hard Lemonade even though she is not old enough to drink alcohol legally yet….
Off Topic: For a fun read check out Texas honky-tonker Amber Digby's blog about her recent trip to France to perform at a festival there. The new picture she's posted on her MySpace says it all. (lol) Be sure to read the first response to the blog from Amber's labelmate and friend Kimberly Murray. Amber and Kimberly are two of my favorite female country singers these days and its too bad they only get played on XM 14 Willie's Place and Texas radio stations…..
Amber Blog Link: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=99492417&blogID=416010615
I really like Jeff Bates and put him in the same general class as Jamey Johnson. These guys are just country through and through and nothing is going to change that.
The funny thing about Jeff Bates is that I actually talked to him yesterday (along with another artist). He's a genuine, down-home guy, and his personal style may just be that look that's on the album cover.
As for 'selling out' I am of the opinion that it's one other way to get your music out there to a wide audience.
Great blog here!! New web site in spanish
Paula: How much of Miley's stuff have you heard? Because seriously "I Got My Heart Set On You"–WORSE than the Corey Hart song it ripped off. I'm not a fan of Sugarland but them on a eternal loop would be a much higher circle of hell than Miley.
Knowing that she had a 30 something guy screwing around with her when she was 15 explains so much about Mindy McCready. But I still say if she would just write from the guts of her life, she could be the country singer of her generation.
I'm with Kelly on the selling out: I don't really see it as selling out when the band or artist is chosen to create a mood for the product.
I also always got a kick out of Clark's Taco Cabana ads…just like Grandma used to make….
Jeff Bates may or may not been the artist who I mentioned yesterday. I also interviewed two other artists.
Vince probably has to do an acoustic tour to make up for the huge amount of musicians he took on tour to promote his boxset. I wish he would come near me too. I've only been able to see him in concert once and it was all that I hoped it would be.
Kelly: And people who live in the right parts of the country know the power of the Burrito Lady spot.
Well I was sitting at home wishing I had me a burrito
A burrito would be oh so sweet right now
That my friends is true songwriting!
i saw Vince at a country music festival in 1997 when he was the Headliner. The opener? Keith Urban (as the Ranch). He played for 2 hours, had 3 encores and had 2 drummers ("because I can").
To continue the Vince testimonials, when I saw him, his opening act was Jon Randall. His show started at eight and lasted until midnight when the old people finally started filtering out.
LOL, Vince said "I have tomorrow off, I'm liable to play all night." It was at the Gorge one of the best amphitheaters in the country (it's similar to Red Rocks).
Stormy – admittedly, not a lot. But then again, she's 15 and admits to being a pop artist for the teeny-boppers. Sugarland is trying to convince everyone that they are mature country artists. I aint buying.
good detective work Brady.
DetourAhead! (lol)
Attn Stormy: Kasey Chambers and hubby Shane Nicholson are booking some gigs across the US starting here in LA at McCabe's Guitar Shop on September 12! Here's the current list but hopefully a lot more dates will be added: (say Austin for instance….)
Friday Sept. 12 Santa Monica -McCabe's Guitar Shop
Tuesday Sept. 16 New York, NY
Wednesday Sept. 17 Alexandria, VA
Thursday Sept. 18 Chicago, IL
This concludes this message from the emergency broadcast system and we now resume normal programming…..
I know, and her cd should be here soon!!
I love Kasey Chambers!
I hope Kasey doesn't cancel them like last time.
I'll travel to a Kasey show.. but hopefully she does her stuff, not just the new combined stuff.
Thanks for referencing that post – and for turning me onto the Wired post. Much appreciated.
I can't see why the critics don't like miley's newest song – I think it is fantastic.

Another View - Scott Brown: We can make energy affordable for NH families
I took my plan on the road and talked to motorists at gas stations, business owners and homeowners around the state, and everyone is looking for relief.
She wants to focus almost solely on renewable energy and discourage people from using carbon-based fuels like the gas we put in our cars and the fuel we use to heat our homes. In order to do that, she wants to artificially raise the price of carbon.
Sen. Shaheen's energy tax would have a disastrous effect on our economy and cause rate increases that hurt families and small businesses alike.
No one knows how much it's going to ultimately cost, but it looks like another case of all pain, no gain. My plan outlines a strict cost-benefit analysis for this type of out-of-touch rule making so we can better understand the real-world economic consequences of all the red tape and new taxes streaming out of Washington.
By focusing on a true all-of-the-above energy plan that increases our domestic production and reins in the Washington bureaucrats, we can make energy more affordable, create new good-paying jobs, and improve our state and our nation's economy.

Early career prize for Lancaster physicist
Cherry Canovan, who is studying mathematical physics at Lancaster University and the Cockcroft Institute, was named the Very Early Career Woman Physicist of the Year at a ceremony in London in May 2011.
The prestigious award, organised by the Institute of Physics and sponsored by Shell, celebrates the work of female physicists who have completed their first physics degree in the last five years. Successful candidates must show that they have made a substantial academic contribution as well as supporting and encouraging others in the field.
Cherry was awarded the £1,000 prize for her published work on problems in classical electrodynamics, as well as her interest in helping other women get involved in physics. She founded the department's Women in Physics group two years ago, since when it has held many meetings and encouraged women from all career stages and research groups to get to know one another.
The 39-year-old took an unusual route into science, having had a successful career in journalism before embarking on an undergraduate physics degree just after the birth of her first child. She said: "I started to study physics with some trepidation, but I need not have been worried: the advice and support given to me by the department was of the first order. This experience has encouraged me to try to offer others the help and support that was so generously given to me.
"I am delighted and honoured to have been awarded this prize, which I hope will encourage other women - and who knows, maybe even some other young mums! - to believe that they too can have a successful career in physics."
Cherry's PhD supervisor, Professor Robin Tucker, said: "I am very pleased to learn of this award for Cherry. I hope it will encourage other women to realise that studying mathematical physics can be rewarding in many different ways!"
Ann Marks, founder of the Very Early Career Woman Award, said, "Cherry's is an outstanding success story. It's wonderful to meet a young physicist with such a bright future ahead of her who has overcome the combined challenges of career change and new motherhood. Amazingly, she has also found time to encourage others. I congratulate her on her ability and drive."

We had one suffer from a heat stroke and pass on, and we're scared the rest will suffer the same fate if they continue to be strictly outside cats. He really needs to be fixed, and has a certificate to have it done, but we've never been successful at getting him in the carrier to take him. Please help.

Protector is a Ruby ORM extension for managing security restrictions on a field level. The gem favors white-listing over black-listing (everything is disallowed by default), convention over configuration and is duck-type compatible with most of existing code.
Currently Protector supports the following ORM adapters:
- ActiveRecord (>= 3.2.9)
- Sequel (>= 3.30.0)
We are working hard to extend the list with:
Protector is an extension and therefore hides deeply inside your ORM library making itself compatible to the most gems you use. Sometimes however, you might need additional integration to take the best from it:
DSL of Protector is a Ruby block (or several) describing ACL separated into contexts (authorized user is a very typical example of a context). Each time the context of model changes, DSL blocks reevaluate internally to get an actual ACL that is then utilized internally to cut restricted actions.
Protector follows nondestructive blocking strategy. It returns
nil when the forbidden field is requested and only checks creation (modification) capability during persisting. Even more: the latter is implemented as a model validation so it will seamlessly integrate into your typical workflow.
This example is based on ActiveRecord but the code is mostly identical for any supported adapter.
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base # Fields: title, text, user_id, hidden
protect do |user| # `user` is a context of security
if user.admin?
scope { all } # Admins can retrieve anything
can :view # ... and view anything
can :create # ... and create anything
can :update # ... and update anything
can :destroy # ... and they can delete
scope { where(hidden: false) } # Non-admins can only read insecure data
can :view # Allow to read any field
if user.nil? # User is unknown and therefore not authenticated
cannot :view, :text # Guests can't read the text
can :create, %w(title text) # Non-admins can't set `hidden` flag
can :create, user_id: labmda{|x| # ... and should correctly fill
x == user.id # ... the `user_id` association
# In this setup non-admins can not destroy or update existing records.
Inside your model, you can have several
protect calls that will get merged. Using this you can move basic rules to a separate module to keep code DRY.
Now that we have ACL described we can enable it as easy as:
article.restrict!(current_user) # Assuming article is an instance of Article
current_user is a guest we will get
nil from
article.text. At the same time we will get validation error if we pass any fields but title, text and user_id (equal to our own id) on creation.
To make model unsafe again call:
Both methods are chainable!
Besides the
can and
cannot directives Protector also handles relations visibility. In the previous sample the following block is responsible to make hidden articles actually hide:
scope { where(hidden: false) } # Non-admins can only read unsecure data
Make sure to write the block content of the
scope directive in the notation of your ORM library.
To finally utilize this function use the same
restrict! method on a level of Class or Relation. Like this:
Note that you don't need to explicitly restrict models you get from a restricted scope – they born restricted.
Important: unlike fields, scopes follow black-list approach by default. It means that you will NOT restrict selection in any way if no scope was set within protection block! This arguably is the best default strategy. But it's not the only one – see
paranoid at the list of available options for details.
Self-aware conditions
Sometimes an access decision depends on the object we restrict.
protect block accepts second argument to fulfill these cases. Keep in mind however that it's not always accessible: we don't have any instance for the restriction of relation and therefore
nil is passed.
The following example extends Article to allow users edit their own posts:
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base # Fields: title, text, user_id, hidden
protect do |user, article|
if user
if article.try(:user_id) == user.id # Checks belonging keeping possible nil in mind
can :update, %w(title text) # Allow authors to modify posts
Protector is aware of associations. All the associations retrieved from restricted instance will automatically be restricted to the same context. Therefore you don't have to do anything special – it will respect proper scopes out of the box:
foo.restrict!(current_user).bar # bar is automatically restricted by `current_user`
Remember however that auto-restriction is only enabled for reading. Passing a model (or an array of those) to an association will not auto-restrict it. You should handle it manually.
The access to
belongs_to kind of association depends on corresponding foreign key readability.
Eager Loading
Both of eager loading strategies (separate query and JOIN) are fully supported.
Manual checks and custom actions
Each restricted model responds to the following methods:
visible?– determines if the model is visible through restriction scope
creatable?– determines if you pass validation on creation with the fields you set
updatable?– determines if you pass validation on update with the fields you changed
destroyable?– determines if you can destroy the model
In fact Protector does not limit you to
:update and
:create actions. They are just used internally. You however can define any other to make custom roles and restrictions. All of them are able to work on a field level.
protect do
can :drink, :field1 # Allows `drink` action with field1
can :eat # Allows `eat` action with any field
To check against custom actions use
can? method:
model.can?(:drink, :field2) # Checks if model can drink field2
model.can?(:drink) # Checks if model can drink any field
As you can see you don't have to use fields. You can use
can :foo and
can? :foo. While they will bound to fields internally it will work like you expect for empty sets.
Global switch
Sometimes for different reasons (like debug or whatever) you might want to run piece of code having Protector totally disabled. There is a way to do that:
Protector.insecurely do
# anything here
No matter what happens inside, all your entities will act unprotected. So use with EXTREME caution.
Protector is a successor to Heimdallr. The latter being a proof-of-concept appeared to be way too paranoid and incompatible with the rest of the world. Protector re-implements same idea keeping the Ruby way:
- it works inside of the model instead of wrapping it into a proxy: that's why it's compatible with every other extension you use
- it secures persistence and not object properties: you can modify any properties you want but it's not going to let you save what you can not save
- it respects the differentiation between business-logic layer and SQL layer: protection is validation so any method that skips validation will also avoid the security check
The last thing is really important to understand. No matter if you can read a field or not, methods like
.pluck are still capable of reading any of your fields and if you tell your model to skip validation it will also skip an ACL check.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'protector'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install protector
As long as you load Protector after an ORM library it is supposed to activate itself automatically. Otherwise you can enable required adapter manually:
Where "ActiveRecord" is the adapter you are about to use. It can be "Sequel", "DataMapper", "Mongoid".
Protector.config.option = value to assign an option. Available options are:
- paranoid: makes scope management white-listed. If set to
truewill force Protector to return empty scope when no scope was given within a protection block.
- strong_parameters: set to
falseto disable built-in Strong Parameters integration.
Protector features basic Rails integration so you can assign options using
config.protector.option = value at your

Those nice people over at The Weinstein Co. just sent Cinematical the first poster for Justin Theroux's upcoming romantic dramedy Dedication, starring Billy Crudup and Mandy Moore. The story revolves around a highly-dysfunctional author of children's books (Crudup) who has major issues with women, enjoys telling children that Santa Claus doesn't exist and whose personal motto is "Life is nothing but the occasional burst of laughter rising above the interminable wall of grief." When his usual illustrator, played by Tom Wilkinson, unexpectedly dies, the author must begin working with an attractive young female illustrator, played by Moore. Dedication, which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and was snapped up by the Weinsteins at that time, marks the directorial debut of Theroux, who is known for his acting work in David Lynch films Inland Empire and Mulholland Drive, along with other credits. The film will also feature other well-known players such as Dianne Wiest, Amy Sedaris, and Bob Balaban, and is scheduled to hit theaters on August 24.

Tim Russert, 1950-2008, R.I.P.
I normally don't post things of this nature on Backstage, but I wanted to take a moment to lament the death today of Tim Russert—best known as the host of NBC's Meet The Press—a journalist who I considered inspirational. Opinionated, well-informed, honest, and willing to speak truth to power, Russert set the gold standard for political journalism, and his untimely passing will leave a huge gap in both American news and politics. Rest in peace, Mr. Russert, and may those you leave behind be better for the lessons you taught us.

I think that it is completely appropriate for you to write a post about such a great man. Russert was one of the few people that was involved in politics that you could believe what he said. He will truly be missed as a voice of the people.

Thanks for posting this. I'm so saddened by the loss of Tim Russert. He asked all the right questions and would always press for answers. Great loss to us all. Requiescat in pace.
Posted by Bob Baker on June 13, 2008 at 8:48 PM (CDT)
An outstanding journalist is shockingly, suddenly gone, and the American political news scene is weaker for it. I'll always remember Tim Russert for his outstanding analysis and dry-erase board the night of the 2000 election, when he said it was all going to come down to three words: "Florida, Florida, Florida."
I watched Meet the Press almost every week. Sunday mornings won't be the same without him.
Jeremy, thank you for taking a time out from the everyday to mention this.
