Dawes stopped through New York City on Monday to play an outdoor concert at Central Park's Summerstage. The Los Angeles-based band released an excellent album earlier this year called All Your Favorite Bands. The album received a 5 star review from the NY Daily News, and a 4.5 star review from us at Zumic.
The things that make Dawes great were on full display throughout the evening. Taylor Goldsmith's intricate songwriting makes for excellent records, and also for exciting concerts. His upbeat anthems avoid played out clichés while consistently ringing true. Vocally, he's a genius at matching signature melodies with twisting and turning narratives about the struggles of everyday life, giving the audience something to latch onto. As usual, he was singing and playing his heart out for a crowd that was transfixed by his talents and occasionally singing along.
Of course, there's a lot more to Dawes than Taylor Goldsmith. His brother, Griffin, is a powerhouse drummer who also contributes backing vocals. On bass, Wylie Gelber plays lines that keep the groove chugging along while locking in with everyone else in the band. Tay Strathairn is a keyboard player who takes the band to the next level on some of their best songs. As a unit, they're a spectacular rock band capable of getting a big sound.
The newest member of the band is Duane Betts, the son of Dickey Betts (a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band who wrote, played guitar, and sang on classic tracks like "Ramblin' Man" and "Blue Sky"). Duane was officially added to the Dawes touring band this year. In a recent interview with Jambands.com, Taylor Goldsmith said:
Well, he's on the stage with us. He didn't play on the record. He kind of came into it after that. He's been a friend for a long time. But yeah, when we're onstage and I say, "Hey, we're Dawes, thanks for coming," and he's standing on the stage, you know? I mean, who knows what the future holds – we don't wanna put that kind of pressure on him or anything. But right now, yeah, he's in the band.
There is an undeniable chemistry between Goldsmith and Betts as the two traded leads throughout the night. Duane's solos were very tasteful and he provided solid backing when he wasn't out front. Duane is in the spitting image of his father, and he sounds like him too. Those early Allman Brothers records created the psychedelic Southern rock sound while bringing the focused modal jazz of Miles Davis and John Coltrane into a rock setting. This wasn't just noodling around, it was amped up sonic fireworks.
One of the interesting things about this show was that there was a lot more wild energy than you might expect from listening to Dawes' albums. The band had a combustible quality, much like Neil Young & Crazy Horse. As the five guys on stage were rocking out, it felt like it could all fall apart at any moment. But it never did.
It wasn't a perfect concert. Several of the songs felt rushed, and Griffin Goldsmith might have been guilty of overplaying the drums. He was doing sort of a Mitch Mitchell thing, throwing in jazz licks and syncopations constantly, which was impressive but prevented the band from achieving the delicate vibe they're capable of. By the same token, I felt like the light show was too busy. As the band jammed out, lights moved around and changed colors in ways that didn't seem to compliment the music, and actually detracted from it.
On the bright side, the songs sounded great. "Things Happen," "Right On Time," "Somewhere Along The Way," "Don't Send Me Away," "I Can't Think About It Now" and "All Your Favorite Bands" are great tunes from the new album that played very well. The band mixed in older songs like "Time Spent In Los Angeles," "Bear Witness," "Most People," "A Little Bit of Everything," "When My Time Comes," and "From A Window Seat" and the setlist flowed very nicely. This is a band with a great catalog, and they're showing no signs of slowing down.
With the addition of Betts, Dawes are embracing the jamband tradition more than ever. It's something that suits them, and there were lots of great moments during instrumental passages where the musicianship was truly outstanding. Moments reminded me of Billy Joel and The Beatles at their best, but it was still very creative and uniquely Dawes. It will be interesting to see how this develops over time.

I'm Back. With Seedlings!
It has been a crazy few weeks! Between travel, photographic gigs and other unexpected turns, I've barely had time to smoke, let alone report back. I shot a wedding, four days of muay thai workouts and BMX racing. Now, thankfully, things have settled down a bit, which allows me to return to regular posting.
Meanwhile, one of the more amusing developments is the birth of my tobacco "farm," displayed in its full glory above. The seeds were a thoughtful gift from my girlfriend, and thanks to her knack for getting anything to grow under any conditions, I now have five varieties of seedlings springing to life. I don't see myself riding horseback, Litto Gomez-style, through these lush fields anytime soon. But if these do half as well as our habaneros and Thai peppers out back, I'll someday smoke an "estate grown" robusto. Frankly, I'd be happy to make a couple of cigarettes out of it. (Under-promise, over-deliver!) Stay tuned…

Very nice Kevin! Let me know when the "Box Press Special Edition robusto" is ready to sample. I want to be apart of that action. ;-p I'm glad you're back and I'm looking forward to more of your great reviews and photos.

Resource Management is efficiently and effectively using your organization's budget, inventory, personnel and information technology (IT). In this blog, the term "resource" refers to personnel.
Once initiatives are prioritized or selected, the next step in your Project Portfolio Management process is to assign resources to projects.
PPM enables you to determine resource allocation using a top-down approach – either at the portfolio or organizational level. You can effectively perform tasks such as assigning resource availability, aligning skills to projects, and resource leveling.
Increased visibility enables proactive management of resource schedules, which allows you to identify potential issues weeks or months in advance.
There are 3 important ways that Project Portfolio Management optimizes deployment of personnel:
- Resource Scheduling
- Skills Management
- Resource Leveling
Resource Scheduling
Resource scheduling is the process of assigning a person to a project, and is typically a built-in capability of a Project Portfolio Management tool.
Visualize utilization and assignment across the entire portfolio viewing resources by project and by resource. This aggregate view helps you identify key projects, skills, people and timelines.
You can perform "what-if?" analysis by assigning individuals to projects that are not yet active.
Determine the optimal deployment of resources by:
- Identifying high value projects (by their score)
- Identifying projects that are not yet active (workflow status)
- Assigning resources
In order to implement a robust scheduling process, begin with a list of all resources ("roster") and a list of all upcoming and current projects. Create a detailed project management plan or a work breakdown structure to identify the exact times and dates that personnel need to be assigned to the initiative.
Skills Management
Skills management is matching your team's skills with your project's requirements. Understanding the skills required for a given task or milestone is a necessity. A list of required skills should be gathered during the project intake process.
A Project Portfolio Management software provides such a roster with the personnel available to work on projects. Roster data will include a mini CV of the individual and their skills. This matches resources to projects so that proper talents are best applied.
Resource Leveling
Resource Leveling methods adjust project timelines and fine-tune utilization of personnel. Resource leveling allows the maneuvering
of personnel among many projects
by considering utilization/load and skills while looking ahead for future scheduling needs. Resource leveling is necessary because timelines change, resources become unavailable, and new projects begin that overlap with current dates.
Methods of leveling enable you to reassign a portion of the work based on skillset and adjusts deadlines to accommodate the schedule of key personnel.
A PPM solution removes the manual effort and mental angst of Resource Leveling via a spreadsheet.
Resource management can ensure that the right projects are assigned to the right people thereby increasing the chances of project (and portfolio) success. To learn more about the additional benefits that PPM can deliver please see our "Definitive Guide to Project Portfolio Management".

MISSOULA – When students arrive at the University of Montana for the Freshman Wilderness Experience, they are greeted by a leader yelling, "Get ready for an adventure you will remember the rest of your lives!"
This year marks the fourth – and largest – year for the FWE program. More than 160 freshmen and student mentors will embark on a wilderness adventure to kick off their undergraduate experience at UM.
The students convened with a check-in and orientation at Schreiber Gym. They then met one another and broke into small groups for their backcountry experience. They talked with their student mentors about food, gear and route logistics. Then it was packing and orienting themselves with the UM campus.
Students leave for the backcountry Wednesday, Aug. 23, and will return at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26.
Students participating in the experience, sponsored by UM's Wilderness Institute and Campus Recreation's Outdoor Program, spend four days and three nights exploring various wilderness areas around the state. Thirteen groups of 10 freshmen, each led by two trained student leaders, will backpack and canoe while performing group and community-oriented tasks, as well as completing service projects.
"Being able to arrive on campus one day not knowing anyone, and then return four days later having bonded with strangers in a wilderness setting was an amazing way to integrate into the school community," said Zoe Leake, a former FWE participant, who returned to the program as a student leader. "It gave me
One of the highlights of the FWE is the growing involvement of student alumni in the program. Each year former FWE students return as organizing staff members and guides for the trips. The goal of Campus Recreation and the Wilderness Institute is to make this a program run by students, for students. In this
FWE is open to all incoming freshmen at UM, regardless if they have been on a

Physical Parameters and Comfort of the School Environment in Assessments of Schoolchildren and Teachers 459

The problem of interrelation of physical parameters of school space with the state of comfort of students and teachers in conditions of different types of educational environment is considered: "enriched", "standard" and "depleted". The hypothesis was that the assessment of comfort is interrelated with the physical parameters of the environment (temperature, air quality, illumination, acoustics, furniture) and has significant differences in the assessments of schoolchildren and teachers of schools with different types of educational environment. 416 schoolchildren and 73 teachers of three Moscow educational complexes took part in the study. Specially developed questionnaires were used. In the group of schoolchildren, significant differences in assessments of the comfort of the school space and its individual physical parameters were revealed depending on the type of educational environment and significant relationships were established between these indicators. The state of comfort of schoolchildren is determined by the type of educational environment and its physical parameters. For teachers, comfort, which is higher in comparison with the assessments of children, is determined by a favorable psychological climate and benevolent relationships.

It was Thanksgiving day back in 2002. I was only 23 years old and my life forever changed on that day. I had a placental abruption and Brendan was born at 33 weeks. He lost oxygen during delivery due to incompetent care but was a fighter and turned 17 this year. My journey in life over the past 17 years took many turns I was not expecting but I try to stay strong and have my husband by my side even when I am not.

Happy Birthday Brendan!! Missing my Dad
Brendan turned 9 years old yesterday!! Every year seems to fly by. I can not believe he is 9 and next year we hit double digits!! I am not ready for the next 9 years. He is heading into his teenage years. That seems insane!! Okay I know I have a few more years before that but lately he is maturing before my eyes and becoming this young boy that I never thought I would see.
He loved his birthday. We had a family party and he had a blast. He can open presents without any help now...must have the been all those years of practice. I think this was his first birthday that he genuinely enjoyed all of his gifts. Usually we don't even open half of them for weeks because he shows no interest but every single present has been opened and played with.
Maybe we are all learning who Brendan really is or maybe he is just becoming more 'typical' as he ages. I am not sure but I am loving this little boy that is growing up on me. He can play by himself in his room. He watches t.v. in bed and can actually have the remote within reach and NOT press a million buttons. He even shuts off his t.v. by himself when he is ready for bed. The past year has been really humbling for me. So many changes. So many good things. I am so impressed by my own son and I know part of that is due to our parenting and helping him become who he is today and part of that is his determination to be like everyone else.
Before my dad passed away he told me I was doing a great job with Brendan and he knew I had a difficult life. He told me he was proud of me which he never really said to me throughout my life. I am thankful for the last conversations we had. They really helped me let him go. I miss him and these holiday's are not easy. I know my mom must be having a very hard time. I know everything will get less painful as the years go on but right it is very painful. I cried while making apple pie for Thanksgiving because a few months ago my dad told me he meant to text me to tell me how good my apple pie was in hopes that I would make him one. Well I am glad I did make him his very own the next time I went to visit. The little things just pop up and bring sadness to me. I hope that fades. It is hard to even see a picture of him or think of him without crying. I know it has only been 2 1/2 months but it seems like yesterday he was still with us. RIP Dad.

Oh my goodness Stephanie, my heart aches for your loss of your Dad. I will say some extra prayers for you this holiday season. My grandmother passed away earlier this year too, and she was a lot like my second mother. Not having her here for the holidays is tough. I can empathize with you just a bit. I know that it must be harder when it is your dad. I got very emotional when I read what your dad said about how he was proud of your for the great job you are doing with Brendan. I know that had to mean so very much to you. It is true. You are doing a wonderful job, and that is so obvious in how Brendan is growing and changing.
I just keep getting more and more impressed with Brendan the more I learn about him. I pray that Emma will become more typical like Brendan as time goes on. He can do so many wonderful things that Emma cannot even think about doing right now.
I especially LOVED LOVED LOVED his new picture on the slide. He looks fantastic and so grown up in that photo. He certainly inspires me.
Hugs! I will be thinking of you through the holidays. I wish you peace and happiness.

Thanks ladies. I feel like Brendan has come so far over the past few months. I seriously think PERCS is one of that reason. That surgery has changed his life.
Thank you for the sympthy for my dad. It is so hard and his death was long and drawn out especially with his heart issues the past two years. It was just a very somber time and then it ended so badly. I feel so bad he had to go like he did. I am so glad to have 3 amazing kids that keep me going and smiling and laughing all the time. :)

Happy Belated Birthday, Brendan! I can't get over how grown up he looks in that picture! Wow! Brendan is such an inspiration to me and he gives me great hope for Malayna's future.
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling sad. Losing a parent is SO hard but it does get easier with time. But there will always be those certain things that get to you so hang in there. Holidays are especially challenging so I'm really glad you have your husband and kids to keep your spirits up.

So grateful for this progress. I also feel for you though... because I know what it's like to not have a close relative to celebrate them with.

All that holds us together is but a name
So estranged from one another
Familiar foundations have passed away…
So who are we now?
…Now that this name is just a moment of historical, hereditary fame
A series of broken generational connections
With so many assumptions
With so many expectations
Filled with confusion
Mix messages
And so Love is left undone
Just a word
Just a name
Too empty to lead our ways
Yet, there is always somebody else to blame
What is it worth to share the same blood
When lines are scattered
Pieces lost
Faces unknown
Pictures incomplete
Stories left untold
Are we not just strangers?
Sharing nothing but a past fame
A picture that was never really without pain
Perhaps we've always been estranged
Pretending to be united on those special days
When all year round, love lays dormant as we go our separate ways
Our own needs and wants leading us astray
all that holds us together is but a name

A FORMER Rochdale businessman is being held in a Spanish jail accused of murdering a British couple.
Paul Baines, the retired owner of a Rochdale sock-making factory which he sold five years ago, is alleged to have stabbed long-term pal Laurie Nash and his German wife, Laura, at their villa on the Costa Del Sol, where Mr Baines was a guest.
Spanish authorities were called to the villa in the village of La Atalya, near Mijas, following reports of a fire. They discovered the stabbed body of Mr Nash 100 yards away. When the fire was extinguished the charred remains of his wife were found inside.
Friends of Mr Baines, aged 51, insist he is innocent. They say he was woken by the fire and went to raise the alarm.
They say he was arrested when he returned to the villa and is now being held in nearby Alhaurin jail.
A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We can confirm that Paul Baines has been arrested in connection with this incident.
"We are providing appropriate consular assistance and have visited him in prison."
Close friend, Sidney Carpenter, who lives in Whalley Range and who has known Mr Baines for 15 years, said: "I cannot see for one minute that Paul has done it.
"Paul was a scaffolder for many years before he started the sock company.
"I have known him for 15 years, he is a family man and I cannot believe for one minute that he has done it - it is not in his nature.
"The people he is supposed to have murdered are very good friends of his, he has been staying out there with them on and off for 20 years.
"I think he's come downstairs to find the house on fire and the woman dead.
"He's gone out to raise the alarm and found the man on the path.
"The Spanish police have assumed he's done it, but there is no way he has done this.
"This is a nightmare for him. He's found his mates dead, then been arrested for murdering them."
It is understood that Mr Baines first met Mr Nash, from north London, 20 years ago when he worked on North Sea oil rigs.
Mr Nash and his wife opened a bar called Patsy's Parrot Bar in Los Boliches, Fuengirola and Mr Baines flew out to visit them two or three times a year.

The term e-commerce refers to buying, selling or ordering goods and services on the Internet. It is a subset of e-business.

1 Enabling e-commerce
2 Creating an online store The term e-commerce refers to buying, selling or ordering goods and services on the Internet. It is a subset of e-business. So e-commerce happens when any commercial transaction is facilitated by the Web or . The transaction may simply involve a customer ordering an item from your online shop and paying for it by cheque when it is delivered. The more sophisticated e-commerce systems allow users to pay immediately via credit card for items purchased online. Websites or can be used to allow customers or clients to order, purchase or pay for things such as: products and services information in the form of papers, images, video or audio clips - perhaps held in a database on the site membership subscriptions rates, licences and taxes subscription to specialist services, newsletters etc for which you normally charge specifically requested research conducted by the organisation s staff bookings and tickets venue/facilities bookings. E-commerce does not have to be an expensive or sophisticated function or process. It is simply a tool that makes it easier for customers and suppliers to do business with you, and you with them. What to do If your e-business plan involves selling products or services online (via your website or , or both) then you need to consider a range of issues before the website is built. The following section assumes that you want to provide the e-commerce solution via your own website or system. An alternative to doing it yourself is to join an e-marketplace where someone else puts your catalogue online and handles the e-commerce solution for you. If you want to explore that alternative, look at this e-marketplace resource. Assuming your plan is to include e-commerce on your website, it is important to resolve a number of issues before going online because the approach you adopt for each will affect the way the web developer builds the site, what e-commerce software is employed and it will help to ensure that the solution is right for you and your customers. Consider each of the following issues: What products and services are to be sold online? Not all products or services are suited to being sold online. For example, CDs and books sell very well online but it is more difficult to sell life insurance over the Internet. Perhaps only a selection of your products or services should be offered for sale online. Are there any business partners to consider? Before making these products or services available online, consider that once online, anyone, anywhere can see and purchase them. Is this an issue for you and your business partners? For example, do you have re-sellers or fellow franchisees who would regard your e-commerce activity as treading on their territory or even taking business away from them? Enabling E commerce 2
3 What price to charge and what pricing model? Should the pricing/fees be the same as that charged to face-to-face customers? You may want to offer a discount for purchasing online to encourage people to purchase online. Determine how much to charge for freight and handling for the various quantities that can be purchased online. How to present your products and services? What will be the means by which users see and select products and services? Will you provide images, video clips, animations or samples of your products or services? If there is a range of products and options, how will these be presented? How will the prices/ fees be displayed? How do you want users to be able to make selections and edit their choices should they decide before paying that they want to change their selection - referred to as a shopping cart solution? How are the products or services to be delivered? Directly online, by post, courier, or collected in person by the purchaser. Payment method and timing: Do you want to be paid by credit card, cheque, money-order, cash? When is it best to receive payment, given the type of product or service being purchased online? Instantly, at the point of sale, or is it sufficient to take an order via the website or and invoice the customer at the point of delivery or at the end of the month? Security and reliability: What level of security of your e-commerce solution is required or appropriate? How dependent will your business be on the security and reliability of the system? eg if a significant amount of your turnover is to be put through the website then it needs to be secure and very reliable. Fulfilment: What is the availability of the goods and services for sale? If you require instantaneous payment but then cannot supply the goods, you may then waste time crediting their money and you may lose the goodwill of the customer. Inventory/catalogue: Does the e-commerce solution need to be linked to your product catalogue and/ or stock and inventory system, and to what extent? If you have only a handful of products and you don t expect to sell high volumes through the website then this may not be an issue. But if you expect a high volume of sales, and/or the number of products and options being offered online is large, and/or has to be updated constantly, then you may need to have a direct link between the website and the catalogue systems on your office computers. Maintaining the e-commerce solution: How often will you need to add, delete or update the details of products and services on the website - eg prices, availability? If it will be necessary to update the e-commerce catalogue regularly, then an efficient and effective solution will need to be provided by the web developer. You will need to balance the need for efficiency and ease of updating with the cost of the proposed maintenance solution. Managing risk: Providing an e-commerce solution carries with it some risks. In order to limit the risks, and to ensure that you mange the expectations of your online customers, you should develop and then explain clearly on the website your policies covering: privacy - what you will and will not do with their details returns policy - under what circumstances you will accept returned items and how will they be returned? shipping policy - freight costs, insurance, import duties, where you will not deliver goods fulfilment policy - what you will do if an item/service is purchased but you cannot fulfil the order in reasonable time security - of their personal details, their payment records, credit card or account details if given. Enabling E commerce 3
4 There are numerous e-commerce solutions available from Internet Service Providers, web developers and specialist third-party suppliers. Probably the overriding consideration for an organisation in deciding which solution to adopt is its integrity, security and the bona-fides of those organisations that are selling it and supporting it. If you want to offer instantaneous payment by credit card, you will need to arrange it with your bank and obtain a security certificate from a registered issuer so that your website is secure for people providing credit card details. When choosing an off-the-shelf solution or accepting one developed by your web developer, ensure that the solution is supported by a reputable bank and that it is deployed on websites of organisations you recognise and respect. It is recommended that once you have developed the appropriate policies and the accompanying explanations, you have them examined by an appropriately experienced lawyer before placing them on the website. For more information on e-commerce and security issues, you might like to look at these two fact sheets developed by DCITA as part of their publication, Trusting the Internet: Trusting the Internet Fact Sheet - How do I tell if I m completing a secure transaction? (187 kb) Trusting the Internet Fact Sheet - How do I set up a secure website? (82 kb) Setting up eftpos and credit card facilities Virtually all e-commerce sites accept credit cards as their primary form of payment. To accept credit cards, you need a merchant account with a bank. A payment gateway is simply a service which connects your Web site with the bank. While there s a bit more to it than that, in essence that s all it is a way to take payments online. Typically, when a customer enters credit card details on your Web site, those details are sent to the payment gateway, which then does some hard work in the background and processes (or rejects) the transaction. It then tells your shopping cart whether the payment was accepted or rejected. All this happens in a few seconds while the customer is waiting. The money is then transferred to your bank account when that happens depends on the terms of your service. It s a diverse industry and the description above is the most common scenario, but there are many variations on it. There are three basic types of payment gateways. The first is an API (Application Programming Interface). This means that the customer never sees the payment gateway Web site your shopping cart talks to it seamlessly in the background. This is generally the best option as it s a transparent experience for the shopper, rather than being transferred to another site at the crucial moment of taking the money. APIs sound a bit scary, but your shopping cart vendor should have done the hard work to support it, so there s very little work for you, the shop owner, to do see below for more. The only catch with this option is you ll need a secure certificate installed on your server. These start at around $100 per year and work their way up quickly. The second type is a third-party payment gateway. The customer starts the checkout process on your site, but completes payment on the payment gateway site. While this can be simpler to setup in some cases, the experience is unsettling for the customer, and you ll probably lose a few sales. Some thirdparty payment gateways allow you to customize the page design. Enabling E commerce 4
5 There are also integrated payment gateways. In this scenario, you don t need a merchant account from your bank the payment gateway does everything for you. For start-up businesses, this can be an easy start. Generally the fees are higher for an integrated service, but the trade-off is simplicity for the shop owner. The best known integrated gateways are PayPal and 2Checkout. How to Choose a Payment Gateway? The first thing you need to know about a gateway is whether your shopping cart supports it. Unless you want to do some programming, you need to check for support. Most shopping carts support at least a dozen gateways, so check the list on your shopping cart vendor s Web site. Different payment gateways support different features. The most common features that you might need include: Fraud detection: If your business is susceptible to a lot of fraudulent transactions (for example, you sell digital goods or mobile phones) then you should ensure your chosen gateway has fraud detection technology. You may pay a little extra for this, but it could be worth it. A shop selling women s fashion will have far fewer fraud problems, so the extra cost (if there is one) may not be worth while. Additionally, if your business is classed as high risk especially adult sites many gateways won t take your business. Virtual terminal: This is a place where you can log in and manually process transactions among other things. For example, if you do phone orders, a virtual terminal may be important. Recurring fees: If you have a service that takes regular payments a monthly subscription for example make sure your gateway supports this. Fees: Of course, the fees the payment gateway charge are important. Be careful as there are a range of fees, and some services can get pretty imaginative on how to charge you. Fees might include a setup fee, monthly/yearly fee, fee per transaction (fixed or percentage), withdrawal fees (getting charged to get paid amazing!), chargeback fees (these can add up quickly), fraud detection fees and possibly more. You ll need to have an estimated number of transactions per month before you start to work out the best service for you. There are many other issues to consider, such as accepting foreign currency, so you need to look at your individual requirements. Setting up a Gateway Generally, setting up a payment gateway is easy. When you sign up, they ll usually give you a customer ID, API key or similar. You go into your shopping cart, choose the payment gateway you ve signed up for, and enter the details provided. That s it! There s usually a test mode. This means the shopping cart will be integrated with the payment gateway, and will talk to it, but won t actually process the transaction. Sometimes they have a special credit card number for test mode (Visa card is a popular one) check with your payment gateway for more details. Choosing a payment gateway can be tricky. But apart from sign-up fees (which can often be waived if you ask nicely), it s not too hard to switch to another if your service isn t performing well. With easy integration and low barriers to switching, it s a buyer s market out there. An Introduction to Payment Gateways By Mark Baartse Enabling E commerce 5
