Rob & Big Reality Series To Star Professional Skateboarder
October 05, 2006 11:02 PM by Joe Blackmon
Meet MTV's modern-day odd couple as the network premieres "Rob & Big," a new reality comedy series starring professional street skateboarder, Rob Dyrdek and his bodyguard and best friend, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. Premiering Thursday, November 2nd at 10:30PM (ET/PT), MTV showcases the unpredictable daily lives of this unlikely duo living together in Rob's Hollywood Hills home where they experience the craziness of domestic life. "Rob & Big" is created by Jeff Tremaine, one of the creators of MTV's "Jackass" and "Wildboyz" series, as well as both "Jackass" movies. Fans can get a sneak peek of "Rob & Big" beginning October 26th as MTV, MTV.com and MTV Mobile services debut "Rob & Big: The Prequel" – a five-minute look inside how this dynamic duo came to be.
Reaching fans and viewers through every channel, platform and screen, MTV will showcase "Rob & Big" with a variety of partners, methods and means. As part of the premiere of "Rob & Big," MTV will debut the first episode of the series on iTunes, allowing viewers to download the episode for free beginning October 31st – two days before fans can see it on-air. Each subsequent episode of "Rob & Big" will also be available to download on iTunes on the Tuesday following its on-air debut. On MTV.com, fans will be able to watch each episode of the series immediately following its on-air debut. There, fans will also experience exclusive footage of Rob and Big Black as they give an inside perspective on each week's episode, along with their own demonstrations on the skateboarding and security skills that made each of them famous, plus see photos, and beginning October 26th, get the chance to win an autographed Dyrdek skate deck from Rob. Also beginning that day, visitors to MTV.com will also have the exclusive chance to play Rob & Big's video game, where they too can face off against unruly security guards and fans. For fans on the go, MTV Mobile will offer weekly clips of "Rob & Big," and through mobile.mtv.com, visitors will be able to purchase show ringtones and wallpapers.
The story of "Rob & Big" is simple: After years of being hassled by cops for street skateboarding, Rob hired Big Black as his own personal bodyguard with one goal in mind — to ride whenever and wherever he wanted. From that point on, this unusual twosome became instant buddies who were always by each other's side. From adopting their lovable bulldog Meaty, and throwing their first house party, to getting in shape and even joining a dating service, this dynamic duo leads a very strange, unexpected life together.
Born outside of Dayton in Kettering, Ohio, Rob is a rare and talented breed in pro skateboarding. At 12, Rob bought his first skateboard, and by 16, he had already turned pro. Soon after he became the first street skateboarder for the DC Shoes Team. His charisma and drive are as well-known as his abilities on a board. From designing innovative shoes for DC to building legal skateboarding plazas around the world through his foundation, Rob has continued to shape the modern skateboarding world and give back to the sport that made him a star.
At 6'6″ and 416 pounds, Christopher Boykin, is known as "Big Black"– to state the obvious, he says. Born in Chicago, IL, Big Black has over 10 years of Executive Protection experience and has been embraced by the skateboarding community since teaming up with Rob and DC Shoes. Much like Rob, Big Black also has an entrepreneurial spirit, creating his own clothing line as well as currently working on a rap album.
"Rob & Big Black" is created by Jeff Tremaine, Ruben Fleischer, Rob Dyrdek and Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. Jeff Tremaine is executive producer. Ruben Fleischer is producer. Lauren Dolgen and Heather Olander are executives in charge of production. Lois Curren is Executive Vice President for MTV Series Entertainment and Programming.

May 27th, 2007 at 4:25 pmHi guys, I am 53 years old lady from South Carolina and age has no difference when a good quality show is put together! I just love you two guys and keep dong that thing you do "WORK" cause it works!! LOL I love Meat (not ment to sound that ugly)
I also have a bull dog that loves to skate! He just started skating on his own one day. You may need to take Meat to the Vet for the smell you have been complaining of. There is a gland at his rear end that needs to be emptied from time to time or else you will get skunked by him when it gets over full. The Pony was a crazy touch but you need to put a pulling harness on him and build a cart so he can carry Big around while you skate! Cool huh!!
Take Care and if you ever need a Mom on the show look me up! Love u guys!! Penny -
margaret Says:
June 6th, 2007 at 12:34 pmI'm 61 from Florida. I just want to repeat every thing everybody else has said.
Please don't start getting all Hollywood on us. Your perfect just the you two are.
I love the way you love and treat your animals. Wish somehow you could support animal rescue shelters on your show. There are english bulldog rescues all over.
Your formula is perfect. I suffer with bi-polar depression. Nothing hardly makes me laugh. But you'll do even repeats
Keep it clean. You've proven filth, and bad language are not needed or wanted by many.
Looking forward to next episode -

on a couple of occations I've seen pictures of a fishing lure that looks just like the Disney Nautilus.
The text on the package tag reads "Nemo's Brand Squid Lure".
Does anybody have any details on this cool looking item, who has manufactured it and is it by any chance availiable for purchase?
If not perhaps it's possible to "self-cast" such an item?

Money's tight and traveling around the holidays can make it even tighter. So if you're planning a holiday vacation, you want to be sure to do it right.
But where to go? You could try one extreme and head north to Alaska. North Pole, Alaska, to be exact.
The town, which celebrates Christmas year-round, offers a great winter festival and the chance to get an exclusive North Pole postmark on your Christmas cards … and an average Christmas Day temperature of 0 degrees.
If that just made you shiver, maybe San Juan, Puerto Rico, is more your speed. The American territory offers a passport-free Caribbean vacation and San Juan's Paseo de la Princesa comes alive with lights and holiday festivities around Christmas.
But that's just two extremes. If you want something in between, we've gathered some top travel destinations for this -- or any -- holiday season. Eggnog and beloved, if sometimes annoying, relatives not included ...
No. 5: Nashville, Tennessee
If you want a super-sized Christmas with a little bit of twang, head to the country capital of the world.
With nearly 3,000 rooms and more than nine acres of enclosed gardens, the Gaylord Opryland resort does Christmas in a big way. Outside, you will find 2 million lights shining in outdoor displays, while inside features large-scale holiday showcases.
Attractions include a 40-foot Christmas tree, a daily medieval-themed yule log lighting and a boat ride on the man-made river running through the gardens.
While spending your holidays at the hotel, you can also take in ICE!, an interactive world of ice sculptures featuring the characters from the "Madagascar" animated movies, or visit the Holly Jolly Town Square, a step back in time to a nostalgic 1950s town square, complete with all the shops, a holiday kids train, live entertainment and more.
The resort also offers "The Radio City Christmas Spectacular" featuring the Radio City Rockettes, Louise Mandrell's Christmas Dinner Party, a craft show, photos with Santa and much more.
No. 4: Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland might not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of Christmas, but if the phrases "You'll shoot your eye out" and "triple dog dare" make you yearn for the holidays, it might be the place for you.
The 1983 Christmas movie classic "A Christmas Story" was filmed in Cleveland and the home to Ralphie Parker and his family has been lovingly restored to how it looks in the movie.
Together with a building across the street, the house forms A Christmas Story House and Museum. Visitors to the museum can see original props, costumes and memorabilia from the film, as well as hundreds of rare behind-the-scenes photos.
The Hyatt Regency in downtown Cleveland and the Red Roof Inn in nearby Westlake, Ohio, both offer "Christmas Story" packages that include admission to the museum and more.
No. 3: Santa Fe, New Mexico
Santa Fe may be one of the best-kept Christmas secrets in America.
The city quite literally is aglow during the holiday season, with thousands of farolitos, candles in sand-filled paper bags, lining buildings throughout the city. The candles illuminate Santa Fe Plaza on Christmas Eve, providing the perfect backdrop for the cider and caroling you will also find there.
Visitors will also find art galleries along Canyon Road, Native American dances at nearby pueblos and great food everywhere, including the option of having your meal served red, green or "Christmas" style, with both red and green chile sauces.
The city is also unique in providing a winter fix for both golfers and skiers. The weather is mild enough that nearly year-round golfing is possible while the nearby mountains, including the Ski Santa Fe area 16 miles from -- and 3,000 feet higher than -- downtown, offer great skiing.

Uzbekistan has borders with Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. It is doubly landlocked, but includes the southern shoreline of the Aral Sea. Once part of the Persian Samanid and later Timurid empires, the region was conquered in the early 16th century by Uzbek nomads, who spoke an Eastern Turkic language. Most of Uzbekistan's population today belong to the Uzbek ethnic group and speak the Uzbek language, one of the family of Turkic languages. Uzbekistan was incorporated into the Russian Empire in the 19th century and in 1924 became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, known as the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic (Uzbek SSR). It has been an independent republic since December 1991.

Daily OCD: 10/19/10 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Zak Sally, reviews, Patrick Rosenkranz, Megan Kelso, Love and Rockets, Johnny Ryan, Jeremy Tinder, Jaime Hernandez, Jacques Tardi, Drew Weing, David B, Daily OCD, Coming Attractions, Boody Rogers, Blake Bell, Bill Everett | 19 Oct 2010 11:54 PM |
Online Commentary & Diversions returns after a post-APE hiatus and subsequent sick day:
• Review: "Good Jaime Hernandez comics are always just about the most satisfying books that money can buy, and I was so impressed with how the pleasure of seeing contemporary Maggie again for the first time in far too long [in Love and Rockets: New Stories #3] gave way to the satisfaction of seeing another building block in her curious history, and then everything turned unpleasant in a way that was equally bleak and fascinating. Watching Jaime fit everything together the way he does is breathtaking. Recommended for adult readers." – Grant Goggans, The Hipster Dad's Bookshelf
• Review: It's still "Love and Rocktober" at Sean T. Collins's Attentiondeficitdisorderly: "If Ghost of Hoppers was Maggie's confrontation with adulthood, The Education of Hopey Glass serves up the equivalent for Hopey and Ray. It's fascinating to me to see where their lives have taken them versus where they were — and more importantly, what they represented to Maggie — when they were first juxtaposed. [...] What makes these two stories compelling and connects them to one another beyond the basic idea of the characters coming to terms with their age is how much the stories rely on the kinds of things only an artist of Jaime's caliber can pull off for their telling."
• Review: "Man's oldest gynophobic horrors and most simplistic delight in sheer physical dominance are savagely delineated in this primitive, appalling, cathartic and blackly funny campaign of cartoon horror. Resplendent, triumphant juvenilia is adroitly shoved beyond all ethical limits into the darkest depths of absurdist comedy. Not for children, the faint-hearted or weak-stomached, [Prison Pit Book 2] is another non-stop rollercoaster of extreme violence, profanity and cartoon shock and awe at its most visceral and compelling. ...[T]his book is all-out over the top and flat out hilarious. Buy and see if you're broad-minded, fundamentally honest and purely in need of ultra-adult silliness." – Win Wiacek, Now Read This!
• Plug: "...Johnny Ryan's Prison Pit Book 2... is the funniest shit I've read in years." – Sean Witzke, Robot 6
• Review: "Bitter, haunting stories [by Zak Sally] like 'The Man Who Killed Wally Wood' and 'The War Back Home' show a striking willingness to ask uncomfortable questions about himself and the world around him. His account of Dostoyevsky's time in prison is a real highlight and I think marks a turning point in his storytelling ability. And the fearless, self-lacerating essay he provides at the end brings the book to a near-perfect close. Really, [Like a Dog] is a tight little collection." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6
• Review: "There's fourteen stories in all in this anthology, beautifully scanned, restored, and reproduced in all their four-color glory. [...] There's a lot of fun to be had in these pages. [...] Boody properly showcases a sizeable enough collection of complete comics stories by the wildman inkslinger from Texas, finally elevating Rogers into the pantheon he's always been part of — if only enough folks had been able to access his work. At last, they can!" – Steve Bissette, The Schulz Library Blog
• Review: "The publication of Rebel Visions was a vital riposte to [a] tide of apathy, a vast and authoritative work built for the clear purpose of documenting the entire history of the US underground revolution in a definitive fashion: a not inconsiderable task given the various tributaries that have spewed forth since the early 1960s. [...] Rosenkranz diligently weaves a number of divergent themes using the oral histories of most of the major participants." – Kevin McCaighy, Exquisite Things (via ¡Journalista!)
• Interview: Kat Engh of Geek Girl on the Street chatted with Megan Kelso at APE over the weekend: "I like writing and movies and music and art forms that are about more than one thing. I'm really fascinated by that, and I think that comics really lend themselves to that kind of layering and layers in conflict, because you've literally got two tracks of information with pictures and words, and because they're so separate from each other, they lend themselves to doing different things at the same time. I've always thought that if a comic's not doing more than one thing, it's not taking advantage of what is, so yeah, I'd say I actively strive for that."
• Interview: At Comic Book Resources, Chris Mautner talks to Fire & Water author Blake Bell at length about Bill Everett — "I think Everett is as unique a stylist as Ditko is. When you see Everett's work, you automatically know who it is if you have any inkling about any of the Silver or Golden Age artists. Secondly, in his own way he's as influential as Ditko. Without question, Everett created the antihero in superhero comics back in 1939 when he introduced the Sub-Mariner. There was no other comic book character like him." — and upcoming volumes of The Steve Ditko Archives.
• Interview: It's the second part of Brian Heater's conversation with Drew Weing at The Daily Cross Hatch: "It's such a weird time where so much stuff is available online, though I went out of my way to make the book a nice little object. And I feel like it does read better in book form, because it's a format that you can more lovingly pore over the detail."
• Interview: At Gapers Block, Rose Lannin talks to Jeremy Tinder, who makes his Fantagraphics debut in Mome Vol. 20. This quote is relevant to the Mome story: "I grew up reading newspaper strips, like Garfield. I think it was around age 5 when I really started getting into Garfield and tracing it out of the paper every day. [...] Garfield was my focus in life for six years, I was so into it."
• Coming Attractions: Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston reports here that "...[I]t seems that Fantagraphics, as part of their current attemp to to translate every French comic book in existence, has seized upon [David B.'s] book, Le Jardin armé et autres histoires or The Armed Garden and are to publish it in August next year," and here about our translation of Tardi & Manchette's Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot, "...planned for August next year. Which, in terms of European-to-American translation is light speed."

Effect of the HIV Protease Inhibitors Atazanavir and Lopinavir/Ritonavir on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) are a class of antiretroviral drugs used to inhibit viral replication. They do so by interfering with a key step in the replication process. Some HIV PIs have been associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular side effects. Further study is needed, however, to assess the full extent of effect of newer HIV PIs, including atazanavir and lopinavir/ritonavir, on cardiovascular disease risk. This study will compare the effects of atazanavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and placebo on certain cardiovascular disease risk factors in healthy people without HIV.
Condition | Intervention |
Endothelial Dysfunction |
Drug: Atazanavir Drug: Lopinavir/ritonavir Drug: Placebo |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator) |
Official Title: | Effect of HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors on Endothelial Function and Glucose Metabolism in Normal, HIV-Uninfected Subjects: Atazanavir or Lopinavir/Ritonavir or Placebo |
- Leg blood flow response to the intra-femoral artery infusion of methacholine chloride [ Time Frame: Measured at Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Insulin sensitivity measured by the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp study [ Time Frame: Measured at Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | November 2003 |
Study Completion Date: | October 2006 |
Primary Completion Date: | September 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: 1
Participants will receive treatment with atazanavir and placebo lopinavir/ritonavir.
Drug: Atazanavir
400 mg of atazanavir (two 200-mg capsules) per day for 4 weeks
Drug: Placebo
Daily dose of placebo for 4 weeks
Experimental: 2
Participants will receive treatment with lopinavir/ritonavir and placebo atazanavir.
Drug: Lopinavir/ritonavir
400 mg/100 mg of lopinavir/ritonavir (three soft-gel capsules, each containing 133.3 mg lopinavir and 33.3 mg ritonavir) twice per day with food for 4 weeks
Drug: Placebo
Daily dose of placebo for 4 weeks
Placebo Comparator: 3
Participants will receive treatment with placebos for both drugs.
Drug: Placebo
Daily dose of placebo for 4 weeks
Detailed Description:
Antiretroviral therapy for HIV, particularly with the use of PIs, is associated with an increased risk of heart attack. Specific cardiovascular side effects seen with the use of some PIs include insulin resistance, abnormal blood lipid levels, and endothelial dysfunction (abnormalities in the cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels). Past studies have shown that treatment with indinavir, an older PI, results in significant endothelial dysfunction, which may be the main cause for the increase in cardiovascular risk. Indinavir is now seldom used in clinical practice, and the newer PIs atazanavir and combination lopinavir/ritonavir now account for nearly 70% of total PI use in the United States. It is not known what effect these new PIs have on endothelial dysfunction. This study will compare the effects of atazanavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and placebo on certain cardiovascular disease risk factors, including abnormal glucose metabolism and endothelial dysfunction, in healthy people without HIV.
Participation in this study will last 4 weeks. All participants will undergo initial assessments that will include various vascular and metabolic evaluations. Body weight, height, basal heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure will also be measured. Participants will then be assigned randomly to receive 4 weeks of treatment with 400 mg of atazanavir per day plus placebo, 400 mg/100 mg of lopinavir/ritonavir twice per day plus placebo, or placebos for both drugs per day. Upon completing the 4 weeks of treatment, participants will repeat the initial assessments.

leadership What Your Luggage Says About You An increasing number of travelers eschew that greatest single modern invention since liquid soap—the wheelie bag—and opt instead for luggage that must be carried; they can be categorized as "passenger extreme" or "passenger couture." Before you pack up for your next business trip, consider what your luggage says about you. Read More » By Michael Valkevich
Fast Company Is Sleepbox The Right Solution For Weary Business Travelers? Halloween is a metaphor-rich time to address the Sleepbox phenomenon coming alive in airports around the globe. There have been times I've felt like the walking dead as I stalked across a strange concourse—but no matter how much you need a little shuteye, actually renting a Sleepbox presents some issues.

A foreigner living in a foreign land.
I have a love/hate relationship with VBA.
I loathe it as much as I am strangely drawn to it.
It is old but it will not die, it is ugly but equally fascinating.
When I code in VBA, I feel like I discovered an old secret that begs to be understood.
I imagine ways to hack it, to ply its ancient curses into modern idioms.
Then I fail.
Then I try again.
May the god of F# have mercy on my soul and liberate me from my sisyphean plight.

Michael McGrath is inducted into the Raritan High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
On October 14, 2012, SONJ athlete Michael McGrath was inducted into the Raritan High School Athletic Hall of Fame. As an inductee, Michael (Class of 1997) will see his name proudly etched on a monument at the entrance to the school's athletic fields. While in HS, Michael was on the track and cross country teams for 2 years, manager of the football and wrestling teams for 3 years, and a leader on the Rocket Special Olympics track team all 4 years. Michael has been competing in Special Olympics for over 20 years, primarily in track & field. His commitment came to fruition several years after graduation. In 2006, Michael represented NJ at the National Games in Iowa and in 2007, he was one of two track & field athletes from NJ chosen to represent Team USA at the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai. In China, Michael's hard work and dedication earned him Silver in the 1500M after he edged the 3rd place finisher by 0.13 seconds, and Bronze in the 4x400M relay. Congratulations Michael!

Choice ArchitectureRichard H. ThalerUniversity of Chicago - Booth School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Cass R. SunsteinHarvard Law School John P. BalzUniversity of Chicago - Political Science Department April 2, 2010 Abstract: Decision makers do not make choices in a vacuum. They make them in an environment where many features, noticed and unnoticed, can influence their decisions. The person who creates that environment is, in our terminology, a choice architect. In this paper we analyze some of the tools that are available to choice architects. Our goal is to show how choice architecture can be used to help nudge people to make better choices (as judged by themselves) without forcing certain outcomes upon anyone, a philosophy we call libertarian paternalism. The tools we highlight are: defaults, expecting error, understanding mappings, giving feedback, structuring complex choices, and creating incentives.

I was in Dubai last November and visited the 2 large Malls there.
In a Nokia store I asked about their wp7 phones, and the salesgirl
told me flat out that these are crap and tried to sell me the N9 instead.
None of the other electronics stores carried ANY wp7 phones, but tons
of Android hardware (and even a Blackberry Playbook, which really is
confusing to work with).

(part 2)
Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set. Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player's actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player's "real" autograph. Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets. Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers. Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement. |
1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career. This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards. Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set. The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PLUGIN/METHOD IS DEPRECATED. For updated info, see: Simplified Spring Security with Grails
Basic Tutorial using Requestmap
There are three ways to define security mappings - see Securing URLs for more details. This tutorial uses the Requestmap approach. To use Controller annotations, use this tutorial and to specify security mappings using the standard Spring Security approach use this tutorial.
Create your Grails application
# grails create-app bookstore # cd bookstore
Install the Spring Security plugin
# grails install-plugin acegi
Create the User, Role, and Requestmap domain classes
# grails create-auth-domains User Role Requestmap
You can choose other names for User, Role, and Requestmap, and can create them in packages; these are just examples.The script will create this User class:
Note: Depending on your database, some names might not be valid. This goes for any domain classes you create, but names for security seem to have an affinity towards trouble. So before you use names like "User" or "Group", make sure they are not reserved keywords in your database :)
/** * User domain class. */ class User { static transients = ['pass'] static hasMany = [authorities: Role] static belongsTo = Role /** Username */ String username /** User Real Name*/ String userRealName /** MD5 Password */ String passwd /** enabled */ boolean enabled String email boolean emailShow /** description */ String description = '' /** plain password to create a MD5 password */ String pass = '[secret]' static constraints = { username(blank: false, unique: true) userRealName(blank: false) passwd(blank: false) enabled() } }
/** * Authority domain class. */ class Role { static hasMany = [people: User] /** description */ String description /** ROLE String */ String authority static constraints = { authority(blank: false, unique: true) description() } }
/** * Request Map domain class. */ class Requestmap { String url String configAttribute static constraints = { url(blank: false, unique: true) configAttribute(blank: false) } }
Optional - create controllers and GSPs for User, Role, and Requestmap domain classes
# grails generate-manager
- grails-app/controllers/RequestmapController.groovy
- grails-app/controllers/RoleController.groovy
- grails-app/controllers/UserController.groovy
- grails-app/views/requestmap/create.gsp, edit.gsp, list.gsp, view.gsp
- grails-app/views/role/create.gsp, edit.gsp, list.gsp, view.gsp
- grails-app/views/user/create.gsp, edit.gsp, list.gsp, view.gsp
# grails generate-all User # grails generate-all Role # grails generate-all Requestmap
Optional - create controllers and GSPs for Captcha, Register, and an Emailer Service.
# grails generate-registration
- grails-app/controllers/CaptchaController.groovy
- grails-app/controllers/RegisterController.groovy
- grails-app/services/EmailerService.groovy
- grails-app/views/register/edit.gsp, index.gsp, show.gsp
Create a controller that will be restricted by role
# grails create-controller Secure
class SecureController { def index = { render 'Secure access only' } }
Start the server
# grails run-app
then navigate to http://localhost:8080/bookstore/requestmap/create and create the mapping for SecureController:
URL: /secure/** Role: ROLE_ADMIN
Note: If your controller class names have a capital letter in the name (other than the first character, e.g. BigCar or BigTruck), then the url you provide here should be something like "/bigcar/**" or "/bigtruck/**". The url you would expect to put in (i.e. "/bigCar/**" or "/bigTruck/**") will not work since the default behavior is to convert the url to lowercase before comparing with security rules.
Note: Be sure to prefix your role names with "ROLE_". If you don't, UserController won't add selected roles to users, and you won't be able to login.
