As Americans, we live in a society that tempts us to live in the moment, spend money on items we don't need, and not focus too much on the long-term value of our purchases. What we're not buying for ourselves is a security cushion.

Back in the days before cartoons decided to develop a social conscience, Beverly Hills Teens taught the kids at home that classic 80's mantra, "Greed is good." Adding a bit more sass to the classic Richie Rich formula, this weekday syndicated show featured the wealthiest teens on the planet: beautiful blonde lead Larke, her boyfriend Troy, boy genius Chester, arrogant Pierce Thorndyke, gossipy Switchboard, surfer dude Radley, African-American beauty Chanel, southern belle Tara, and ultra-bratty Bianca, who wanted to steal Troy from Lark. The rest of the cast included Bianca's manservant Wilshire, rockers Jett and Gig, pink poodle Fifi, and Pierce's back-talking pocket computer, the CAD unit.
The premise was simple: the kids were rich, and they bought things. The series centers around the lives, loves, and longings of a group of typical fun-loving teenagers, from Radley the surfer-dude to the arrogant Pierce, who just happen to be disgustingly wealthy. Whether riding in the back of stretch limousines or maxing out their credit cards on clothes, the teens always managed to find the kinds of adventures only the fabulously wealthy could ever afford.
Well, kids, money can buy many things, but it can't buy ratings. Beverly Hills Teens ran for only one season in syndication, crushing the dreams of legions of young capitalists. Their disappointment was eased when the spirit of the Beverly Hills Teens lived on in shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and the film/TV series Clueless.

From December 5th-8th the art world descends on Miami for the annual Art Basel Miami Beach festival. Leading galleries come from around the world to showcase works from masters of Modern art, meanwhile style-setters showcase their sartorial creativity. Click through to see our favorite looks from Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie, and more.
The 5 Best Looks Spotted at Art Basel, from Kim Kardashian to Nicole Richie
- 1 of 6
These covetable looks might provide the inspirational ray of sunshine your winter closet needs.
- 2 of 6
Nicole Richie
Richie wore an Emilio Pucci Resort 2014 cobalt top and embroidered high-waisted pants with white Manolo Blahnik Taylor Pumps ($735) and a white Givenchy Pandora Bag ($1650) while shopping on Lincoln Road. Proof that a simple but bold color palette can go a long way.
- 3 of 6
Michelle Williams
Williams attended a dinner celebrating the Charlotte Perriand collaboration with Louis Vuitton on December 4th wearing a navy and black look from Marc Jacobs' last collection for the house. The sleek black clutch and peep-toe pumps effortlessly complete the look and are true to her style roots.
- 4 of 6
Zoe Saldana
The newlywed hosted Niche Media's party on December 6th wearing a white Lanvin pantsuit from the Resort 2014 collection over a lace-trimmed camisole. The red lip, dainty gold jewelry—including Beaded 5 Tier Earrings from Jamie Wolf ($2850) and an EF Collection Pave Bangle ($1550)—and her pewter Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps ($625) add interest without overpowering the modernist look.
- 5 of 6
Zoe Kravitz
Attending the Aby Rosen & Samantha Boardman Dinner at The Dutch on December 5, 2013 in Miami Beach, Florida, Kravitz donned a sheer vintage dress (similar here) over her printed black bra and simple blue jeans. We love how she topped off her look with layers of colorful necklaces, a bold wine pout and skinny braids.
- 6 of 6
Kim Kardashian
Kardashian attended the DuJour Magazine party on December 4th wearing Proenza Schouler's White Appliqued Gown ($12,500) and Balenciaga's Imprime Leather Pumps ($775).

This is decadence at its purest, not because it is producing for the exclusively rich, but because it has a cheap sense of profit greed behind it – all of that many people really hate about recent capitalism and its proponents. Hasselblad got it all wrong. It is a cheap product for a horrendous price.
So, folks, it is not overpriced, it has the price it deserves!

Excerpt from: Intuition, Chapter 13
"Intuition travels without any vehicle – that is why it is a jump; that is why it is a leap. It is a jump from one point to another point, with no interconnection between the two. If I come to you step by step, it is not a jump. Only if I come to you without any steps is it a jump. And a real jump is even deeper. It means that something exists on point A and then it exists on point B, and between the two there is no existence. That is a real jump.
"Intuition is a jump – it is not something that comes to you in steps. It is something happening to you, not coming to you – something happening to you without any causality anywhere, without any source anywhere. This sudden happening means intuition. If it were not sudden, not completely discontinuous with what went before, then reason would discover the path. It would take time, but it could be done. Reason would be capable of knowing and understanding and controlling it. Then any day an instrument could be developed, just like radio or TV, in which intuitions could be received.
"If intuition came through rays or waves, then we could make an instrument to receive them. But no instrument can pick up intuition because it is not a wave phenomenon. It is not a phenomenon at all; it is just a leap from nothing to being.
"Intuition means just that – that's why reason denies it. Reason denies it because reason is incapable of encountering it. Reason can only encounter phenomena that can be divided into cause and effect.
"According to reason there are two realms of existence, the known and the unknown. And the unknown means that which is not yet known but someday will be known. But mysticism says that there are three realms: the known, the unknown and the unknowable. By the unknowable, the mystic means that which can never be known.
"Intellect is involved with the known and the unknown, not with the unknowable. And intuition works with the unknowable, with that which cannot be known. It is not just a question of time before it will be known – unknowability is its intrinsic quality. It is not that your instruments are not fine enough or your logic not up-to-date, or your mathematics primitive – that is not the question. The intrinsic quality of the unknowable is unknowability; it will always exist as the unknowable.
"This is the realm of intuition.
"When something from the unknowable comes to be known, it is a jump – there is no link, there is no passage, there is no going from one point to another point. But it seems inconceivable, so when I say you can feel it but you cannot understand it, when I say such things I know very well that I am uttering nonsense. "Nonsense" only means that which cannot be understood by our senses. And mind is a sense, the most subtle.
"Intuition is possible because the unknowable is there. Science denies the existence of the divine because it says, 'There is only one division: the known and the unknown. If there is any God, we will discover him through laboratory methods. If he exists, science will discover him.'
"The mystic, on the other hand, says, 'Whatever you do, something in the very foundation of existence will remain unknowable – a mystery.' And if the mystics are not right, then I think that science is going to destroy the whole meaning of life. If there is no mystery, the whole meaning of life is destroyed and the whole beauty is destroyed.
"The unknowable is the beauty, the meaning, the aspiration, the goal. Because of the unknowable, life means something. When everything is known, then everything is flat. You will be fed up, bored.
"The unknowable is the secret; it is life itself." Osho

Revlon Customer Story
VMware is our core; it is the core of our cloud. It allows us to be very fast. And simplicity equals speed, speed equals competitive advantageDavid Giambruno, SVP/CIO, Revlon
Workloads 98% Virtualized
Revlon moved 98% of all global workloads into a private cloud, which includes approximately 531 applications across the globe, making more than 15,000 automated moves a month.
300% Increase in Project Throughput
With the changes, Revlon saw a 300% increase in project throughput, with zero downtime.
$70 Million Expenditures Saved/Avoided
In a short span of two years, the Revlon IT team has saved and/or avoided more than $70.4 million dollars in expenditures.
Working with VMware, we have covered such a wide span of products in such a short amount of time that it really has allowed us to grow rapidlyMike Canella - Global Data & Network Engineer, Revlon
How VMware Helped Revlon
Revlon had built its business around a simple idea – to deliver glamour through high quality products at affordable prices. As the company grew through its 70-year history, it found that simple goal was turning into a complex IT challenge. Not only there increasing demands from the growing, global retail locations where Revlon products were sold, but the widening sophistication of its many business units was driving the need for faster, secure, more reliable means of staying connected to information and each other – and ahead of the competition.
With no additional funding or resources, Revlon IT adopted a model of simplicity –'faster, better, cheaper.' That meant first virtualize everything, allowing one view of Revlon's IT world. With the infrastructure beginning to work for the business – rather than diverting time and attention away from the core goals of the team – Revlon was able to expand into the cloud, creating more dynamic avenues for mobile data and overall network management.
In two years, the IT team had a profoundly positive effect on Revlon's overall business picture, saving and avoiding more than $70.4 million dollars in expenditures. Today, Revlon's cloud runs approximately 531 applications across the globe, making more than 15,000 automated moves a month – a 300 percent increase in project throughput. This helps keep pace with Revlon's ever-expanding and diversified business, which reaches markets across 100 countries and six continents.

Comments: good quality box and very nice personalization. A little smaller than I expected but a very nice size
By Kay Parr
Comments: I ordered these for Christmas gifts and they are beautiful. I know they will be loved for years to come.
By Sarah Cooper
Comments: Bought this for my sister and had it shipped and gift wrapped. The dominoes are high quality and the box is perfect, small and compact. The engraving is very well done, too.
"Attention to Details"
By JoAnne Nanton
Comments: Much attention have been given to detail with this product. The quality and veneer of the wood is exquisite; the additional groove, coupled with the slider cover was thoughtful; the sizing of the dots reflect sensitivity, especially since I am a person with a visual impairment; and the lettering was beautifully and professionally done. Thank you for not compromising in the artistry and details of this fine gift; my husband, an avid domino player, loves it, and so do I!
"What A Great Gift Idea!"
By Lisann Williams
Comments: This was a great gift idea for my dad. He is blind and the raised domino holes were perfect for him to feel them to make his next strategy move in the game. And even though he can not see the engraving on the box - he was able to trace it with his fingers and feel the beauty the craftsman work and he was very pleased that his grand-kids and me (daughter) took the extra step to tell him that we appreciated him this Father's Day!

IndyCar: 2010 Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300 [SPOILERS]
by Frank Filipponio (RSS feed) on Aug 29th, 2010 at 11:33AM
It might seem that the 2010 IndyCar championship is a foregone conclusion. After all, Team Penske's Will Power has a sizable lead in the standings and there are just four races left to run. Ah, but those four are all on ovals, and Will has never claimed the top step of the podium at an oval track. Plus, right behind Power in the race for the overall IZOD IndyCar Championship are Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon – two drivers who have considerably better luck than Power when everybody only has to turn left.

San Francisco Bay Area-based designer Colin Selig repurposes old propane tanks to create an amazing array of sofas and chairs. The smooth, sculptural seats require no extra material, and Selig has plans to license the design so that local craftspeople can manufacture them around the world.
New Zealand-based Designtree showcased their series of Frankie Lamps, which feature recycled felt shades set upon FSC-certified wood frames. The Frankie line includes a table, standing, and pendant lamp, and each one is accented by a red cord that adds a bright pop of color.
That's no moon… it's Graypants' largest recycled cardboard lamp to date! The designers told us that even this epic 64″ sphere will soon be eclipsed by an even larger cardboard lamp – stay tuned!
The Recycler created this bright red chair entirely from repurposed bicycle parts. Four handlebars make up its legs, while the seat is composed of sections of bicycle wheels.

On a more subtle note, the metal on Van der Sluis chairs shown at ICFF can be coated with a shiny powdercoat chrome-substitute. The processes and substances involved in chrome-plating are notoriously earth-hostile. They have ergonomic and modern stacking chairs, too.

Finally, an effective web 2.0 site building program without a high monthly subscription price! What's more, I have found Link Robot Express to be much easier to learn and use than many of its competitors. The interface feels very intuitive to me, and Steve Hawkins has also been very quick to respond to any questions I have had. Link Robot Express will definitely be playing a key part of my link building strategy from now on!

I just wanted to say wow, and I mean wow I have been a fan of yours for a while but you have outdone yourself with this beauty, I mean it's just the muts nuts, honestly I can't say enough good things about it, I have been marketing on the internet now for what 5 years and I love trying out new methods, techniques and I have come up with my own strategies, some bad ones and some great ones.
But your software has lifted the best technique off the page and put them into one of the best systems I've come across, even the big one such as evo2 and senuke, (yes I've tried them all) are going to have to up there game to a whole new level, to be brutally honest I wasn't too keen them all that much, some they seemed a little fixed you know kind of paint by numbers so you always get the same picture.
But the playing field has changed Link Robot Express takes my weeks work and turns it into a an hour and even then all I did was click start and then stuck the TV on, but the beauty of it was the human feel to it, I could change the link network so it's not always the same it was straight forward easy to use, the article spinner was easy, in fact I think that's the best word to describe your software its easy, it makes IM so much easier.
Just one last thing I just wanted to say thank you for the help and support you have provided since I first found you, you have been a gem and I know my list of SEOers and IMers have always more than happy with your products and support, so a great big thanks and keep up the good work, I'm off to watch some tv…..

Steve has done it again! SEOLink robot has taken link building to another level. This unique product will save your hours of your time everyday. I really can't believe how easy it is now to create web 2 accounts and mini-nets. If you have one or more sites you need to promote, then this is a must have piece of software. You can scale up bigger and faster than ever before.
I always used to outsource this type of link building but not any more. What's amazing is the fact that it's also available at a one time fee. Software as important as this is nearly always a monthly high subscription. For me, it automates a whole bunch of SEO tasks and allows me to get more done in less time.
To make money in IM these days you need seriously powerful tools, and you don't get much more serious than Link Robot Express.

* see specific modules for the ability to add your own sites. Currently you can only add specific site types.
Functionality wise it compares very well against the current competition. None however, have the ability to auto-create mini-nets of web 2.0 sites in a button click and none have the flexibility to create several linked networks using simple article tags.
Cost wise , the direct competitors charge users between $147 and $157 a month just to use their software packages!! Which gives a grand total annual fee of around $1844+ But the worst of it is that you are almost 2 thousand dollars down before you start to market any of your sites!!
If you can afford to lose this type of money before you can make any money then that's fine.. but in most cases this is simply not acceptable.

April 12 - The words tight and volatile were used frequently to describe agricultural markets at the Kansas Ag Bankers Conference recently in Manhattan, Kan. Sponsored by the Kansas Bankers Association, the event was held in the Kansas State University Alumni Center.
The overall theme was summarized succinctly by one of the speakers, Darrell Holaday, president of Advanced Marketing Concepts of Wamego, Kan., which works directly with agricultural producers and food companies in developing and executing marketing plans.
You can analyze the situation from many different angles, but the reality is that U.S. supplies of grains, oilseeds, forages and beef are extremely tight, Holaday said in his presentation. Price movement will be very erratic and unstable until we have a better feel for the spring and summer weather.
Corn is still king and will determine overall price direction, according to data Holaday showed the Kansas bankers. The near-term equilibrium in futures is $7.50. U.S. corn acres will likely increase by 2 million, but yield is the most critical element now. Downside price potential is substantial if U.S. corn yield hits 156 bushels per acre or better. The basis will remain strong into the early part of the crop year.
Holaday cited these statistics for soybeans: The South American crop is big, but a little smaller than early potential. Chinese demand will not end. U.S. soybean acres will increase slightly by 500,000 to 1 million acres. The near-term equilibrium price is $15. The downside price potential is $10$11 if U.S. yield is 42 bushels per acre or larger.
The outlook for wheat is as follows, according to Holaday: The U.S. hard red winter wheat crop is already damaged, but recent moisture has been very helpful. U.S. soft red winter wheat is in good condition. The world stock situation is not as tight as other products, but is becoming tighter. Russia should be watched as key to price movement. Wheat is being consumed as a feed grain. Wheat prices at harvest will be the highest of the year if there is no U.S. summer drought.
Tight supplies also characterize the beef industry, according to Randy Blach, CEO of CattleFax of Englewood, Colo., a leading member-owned source of cattle and beef market information, analysis and research.
Using U.S. Department of Agriculture data, the outlook for 2013, as Blach described it for the Kansas bankers, includes a drop of 860,000 head in the beef cow inventory to 29.3 million head; next year looks flat at best. The steer and heifer slaughter should drop by 470,000 to 25.4 million head, following a drop of 900,000 in 2012 to 25.8 million head. Net beef production was 6.4 billion pounds in the fourth quarter of 2012; dropped to 6.32 billion pounds in the first quarter of 2013; and is projected at 6.04 billion pounds in the fourth quarter of this year.
Other points in materials presented at the conference by Blach:
Jason Henderson, vice president and Omaha branch executive for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, concluded the KBA program with his discussion of the frequently asked question, Is This Farm Boom Different? His conclusions:
Henderson also asked the questions:

Zend_Service_PayPal is a Zend Framework interface to the PayPal on-line payment service, through PayPal's exposed APIs. Initially, it is intended to support the lighter PayPal Name-Value Pairs (NVP) interface. Additionally, Zend_Service_PayPal will provide smaller "utility" classes for sending special requests to PayPal (eg. Payment Data Transfer requests) or receiving Instant Payment Notification messages from PayPal.
Zend Framework: Zend_Service_PayPal Component Proposal
Proposed Component Name
Developer Notes
A.J. Brown, Zend liaison
0.1 - 27 February 2007: Started proposal process
0.2 - 23 March 2007: First proposal draft ready for review
0.3 - 9 June 2007: Added the MassPay API
0.4 - 17 June 2007: Added the GetTransactionDetails API
0.5 - 1 July 2007: Added PDT and IPN requirements
0.6 - 2 February 2008: Transfered proposal ownership from Shahar Evron (wiki revision: 29)
Table of Contents
1. Overview
In the future, Zend_Service_PayPal might also implement a SOAP interface as an optional alternative to the NVP interface.
2. References
3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria

4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
- Zend_Http_Client
- Zend_Validate_Ccnum
- Zend_Validate_Alnum
- Zend_Validate_EmailAddress
- Zend_Validate_StringLength
- Zend_Service_Exception
5. Theory of Operation
The PayPal service object will be used in slightly different manners, depending on the API call that is preformed. Generally speaking, a single interface object is instantiated, and the API credentials are set (API user name, password and signature / certificate). Internally, the object also instantiates a Zend_Http_Client object and prepares it for an NVP request (set the method to POST, preset some always-required POST parameters, etc.).
Depending on the request type, the user will also need to instantiate additional container objects - for example, a DoDirectPayment request would require credit card information and billing address to be passed. These pieces of information will be represented in objects that will be passed to the interface object when calling an API method.
Once an API method is called, the interface object will set all the required POST parameters, and send the HTTP request. All API calls will return a common Response object - containing all the information in the PayPal response (status, transaction ID, failure reasons, etc.)
Note: Supporting PayPal certificate authentication might require improvements to Zend_Http_Client - namely resolving ZF-1004.
6. Milestones / Tasks
- Milestone 1: design notes will be published here
- Milestone 2: As part of the proposal process, integration with other Framework components will be considered (eg. Zend_Currency, Zend_Auth, Zend_Log)
- Milestone 3: Working prototype for DoDirectPayment and ExpressCheckout calls, along with container classes for common data objects
- Milestone 4: Unit tests exist, work, and are checked into SVN.
- Milestone 5: Initial documentation exists.
- Milestone 6: All API other listed API calls are working using the NVP interface, along with unit tests and documentation.
- Milestone 7: (optional, depending on a separate proposal) Implementation of the SOAP interface
- Milestone 8: (optional, depending on a separate proposal) Implementation of a PayPal Instant Payment Notification gateway
7. Class Index
- General
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Exception
- PayPal Business API access
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Interface
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Nvp
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Soap (optional, depending on a separate proposal)
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Response
- Data Containers
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Data_Exception
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Data_Address
- Zend_Service_PayPal_Data_AuthInfo

Start the checkout process:
After the user is redirected back from PayPal after authorizing the payment:
|UC-3: Preforming a Mass Payment to customers

9. Class Skeletons
Mar 01, 2007

good idea, i may use this proposal in my work.

Mar 23, 2007

Looks great, Shahar. You may want to update your use cases to match your skeletons, though (parameter order, for example).

Mar 23, 2007

Rather than integrate just PayPal, why not a Services_Payment or something similar. You could use adapters for paypal, authorize.net, linkpoint, etc. I know there is a pear class trying to accomplish something similar, and I would deffinitly be willing to contribute the authorize.net code.

Mar 24, 2007

When I started looking at this there was already Gavin's proposal for Zend_Service_Payment - I am not really familiar with any other payment services so it was very hard for me to think about a generic adapter-based service.

The PayPal API exposes many features which to me seemed specific and hard to generalize (eg. express checkout).

Can you describe your ideas of creating such generic interface?

Mar 24, 2007

Sorry - it's not Gavin's <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" /> My apologies to Richard.

Mar 27, 2007

I suppose it could extend a common Zend_Payment_Interface, Zend_Payment_Data_Address_Interface, etc. but I'm not sure if enough value would be added for the hassle involved. As you said, there are a lot of unique features that would be hard to abstract out, although at the core you are doing the same thing with each payment service.

Jun 21, 2007

Note that while the proposal has not been accepted or rejected yet, the code suggested above has been committed to the Zend Framework laboratory, available from Subversion repository at http://framework.zend.com/svn/laboratory for all those who want to test it and propose improvements.

Jul 22, 2008

can you update the status of this proposal?

The code "moved" here, in case people are looking for it:
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/laboratory/library/Zend/Service/

Jun 22, 2007

Does it implement subscriptions as well?

Jul 18, 2007

The proposal lists PDT and IPN as a requirement but only PDT is mentioned in the class list. Also later in the milestones it's stated that IPN should be a seperate proposal.

When using PDT, I would imagine that like myself, other developers might either be required or prefer to use IPN for verification and other back-end operations instead of the PDT data. So in this case I think if IPN goes to a seperate proposal, then PDT should go with it since the two "methods" will commonly be used together.

There will probably be scenarios with using payments pro or payflow pro whereby an order or transaction might be amended or added to, or perhaps there's just a hold on a payment that gets released. In this case IPN might be the choice of interaction. I'm not sure how common a scenario this might be, just some food for thought with regards to IPN being a seperate proposal. Perhaps it should be in the base service component?

I see in the laboratory the code is renamed to Zend_Service_PayPal rather than Zend_Service_Paypal_Nvp and a quick peek at Zend_Service_PayPal code shows that it's assuming the use of the name/value API. I have no idea as to the uptake or % use on either the NVP or the SOAP API's for paypal; but if it's a strong possibility that the SOAP API gets implimented would it not be a prudent step to have a bit more absraction at this stage rather than assume the base Zend_Service_PayPal class will use NVP?

Code looks good Shahar <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

I think this component will ultimately prove to be very popular, i'd like to see it progress a.s.a.p.

Jul 18, 2007

About IPN: I was actually going to add it to this proposal. I have a working draft of an IPN handler in fact...

About abstracting the NVP API: I was thinking about this initially, but since the NVP and SOAP APIs AFAIK expose the same functionality, I was wondering whether this actually worth the effort. Also, I was thinking whether using and adapter /factory patterns was smart in this case, or whether it would be simpler to just create two different classes (implementing the same interface) that are instantiated directly:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
// Adapter / Factory
$paypal = Zend_Service_PayPal::factory('NVP');
// Replaceable by 'Zend_Service_PayPal::factory('SOAP');'
// Direct instantiation
$paypal = new Zend_Service_PayPal_Nvp(); // Replaceable by 'new Zend_Serive_PayPal_Soap();'
Jul 19, 2007

That's a fair point about the funcionality being equivalent between the NVP and SOAP API's, probably not worth the effort.

With regards to a factory Vs. direct instantiation. I'd say leave it up to the developer to create a factory if required ( since i'm really struggling to think of many scenarios where I might want to use one for this component ).

Hi Ian,

Are you commenting on the proposal or reporting a bug in the laboratory code? If it's a comment, I didn't really understand it - so please try to be more descriptive.

If you're reporting a bug, this is not the place. Please join and e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com (keep in mind that the laboratory code is in no way fully tested and should not be considered stable for production use).

Oct 17, 2007

well two things

helping people to test it with the dev keys, and also pointing out that these didnt work as something wierd was going on.

I am testing your code quite thoroughly today but am new to this part of the framework so any advice is welcome.

I will join this list then.

Aug 20, 2008

Is there any status update on this one ?

Aug 24, 2008

Unfortunately I have no time to work on this. If anyone wants to inherit the existing code / proposal, I'd be happy.

Dec 18, 2008

I would be interested in taking up leadership on this proposal if it will get it moving down the pipes. I have enough experience with PayPal to ensure a quality deliverable.

Dec 18, 2008

It would be very nice to have this component.

Feb 01, 2009

I'll be willing to help Aj Brown on this if help is needed.

SpotSec

Feb 02, 2009

Hi Guys,

Im' working on getting permissions to edit the proposal. Once that's done, we'll get this moving again.

Feb 11, 2009

Just an idea: wouldn't it be nice if this would become something like Zend_Payment?

With adapters for use with the many different payment gateways or possibly even your own?

With a way to generate a Zend_Form to initiate the payment process with gateways that require this.

With a way to handle a Zend_Controller_Request as a payment confirmation/cancellation.

Loosely coupled to allow stand-alone use of course.

At least it sounded useful to me at the time of writing <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Feb 20, 2009

We already had the proposal: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Service_Payment

But it is not developed anymore.

Mar 23, 2009

Until the project is rolling again, is there a download with all the files arranged easily for us to experiment with? I have been battling with the code for several days. I have found the laboratory (that took some work)... and that has been helpful, BUT, it does not have the test-a-payment code wrapped in.

I love this project... anything I learn, I would quite like to contribute back.

Apr 21, 2009

I would love to see DoReferenceTransaction as well as ManagePendingTransactionStatus in this in addition to what it already has.

Apr 27, 2009

This and almost every other API Call available will exist under Zend_Payment component. That will allow a unified API to various payment providers and gateways. Will blog about the usage and examples tomorrow.

Aug 08, 2009

Is this still under development? i'd love to see this running. If you need some help, don't hesitate to contact me. <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Aug 14, 2009

I'd like to echo this. Any help required, let me know. I've got a complete IPN component if required.

If this proposal is dead in the water due to resources, please pass it on to someone else.

Aug 14, 2009

Hey Guys,

This is still under development, albeit at a much slower pace. I'm working on another project, which takes advantage of this component, so it's getting parallel development. Once I'm done with this release cycle, I update the latest code and the necessary changes to the proposal. On the brighter side, this has allowed me to restructure things in a way that works better.

Aug 14, 2009

I would also like to help with this if possible

Im still using a modified version of Shahar did

 So if you need any more devs let me know

Ian

Aug 19, 2009

I'll toss my hat into the help pool as well.

Sep 20, 2009

Hi All,

I will be putting this up on Google Code shortly. I wil post the details here so that everyone whom would like to contribute can do so.

Oct 22, 2009

http://code.google.com/p/zendservicepaypal/

Please send me an invite request to aj .. AT .. ajbrown .. DOT .. org with your gmail username for commit access. Lets get this thing finished up.

you'll notice that it's relatively simple right now. I have 2 projects that will be making use of the various API interfaces, so it'll start to get filled in quickly.

Once in the project, please develop in your own branch.

Dec 20, 2009

After putting some thought into it, I've decided that we should drop support for the SOAP API. I can't seem to come up with a justifiable reason for someone using this component to want to specify the SOAP API. The only real scenario I can come up with is if the user is using a proxy to transfer between their web server and PayPal which requires SOAP. This is an edge case, however.

In the mean time, the architecture will continue to use an Adapter pattern, in the case that an end user would like to create their SOAP compatible adapter.

Are there any arguments against this decision?

Dec 21, 2009

+1, go ahead!

Still about adapters. How often they change/add some stuff in this API? If this is common like once a semester/year, it could be nice if the adapters provide us a way to make request directly, like a "make-urls-by-yourself". This way the API will work even for those that don't update their zend library... i am thinking about that since some weeks ago.

so, i think that's all, i'm not expert in paypal, but here is my 2 cents
