A few years ago, I had developed an online store for a buddy of mine using osCommerce. I had hoped to use Joomla! or Drupal for the site but at the time wasn't satisfied with the shopping cart extensions or modules that were available for either CMS. Shortly after developing that site a new eCommerce module for Drupal became available called Ubercart. I've never had taken on the task of building another online store (it was a lot of work) but I've always kept my eye on Ubercart just to stay informed.
Ryan Szrama who has been the project lead of Ubercart from its beginning posted yesterday that Ubercart will fork into Drupal Commerce. At this time it is now known what will become of Ubercart. Ryan writes:
A rose by any other name is still a rose, and Ubercore by any other name is still the best thing to happen for Drupal based e-commerce since the advent of Ubercart. For at least the foreseeable future, Ubercore will continue as Drupal Commerce, managed similarly to Drupal itself. We'll be working our tails off to make sure e-commerce on Drupal 7 shows just how awesome having fields in core can be.
As often happens in open source, the trademark owner and some of Ubercart's developers are in disagreement with the direction Ubercart should take in new development. Luckily, for Ryan and the developers of the new project, Ubercart is under the open source GPL license which allows them to use all of source code for Drupal Commerce. This should be an interesting story to follow in the world of open source CMS.

Identifying himself with comedian Jon Stewart and his message against extremist debate , MSNBC's Joe Scarborough praised his own morning show for being a safe haven for different viewpoints and calm debate. This, of course, happened shortly after he interrupted a Politico reporter twice and questioned his story's significance.
Comedy Central's Jon Stewart had appeared on Thursday's "Rachel Maddow" and criticized extremist debate and the sensationalism of the 24/7 news cycle. Scarborough wholeheartedly agreed with him.
"This is not a battle between red state America and blue state America, left and right," he expressed. "It's really not. It's between the extremists, and I'm talking in terms of the media now. It's between the extremists and the regular people, and in some areas in the media, the extremists dominate."
Scarborough also continued his argument made on yesterday's "The View," that more journalists should reveal their own political views and be transparent. It works for him and co-host Mika Brzezinski, he insisted. Scarborough is a former Republican congressman and Mika's father worked in the Carter administration.
"Can you think of a journalist that is really objective that doesn't have their own viewpoints?" Scarborough asked. "Have to be very shallow."
"Morning Joe" maybe should examine its debate first before preaching to the rest of the audience about detachment from bias and low-blow criticism. Co-host Willie Geist recently appeared on MSNBC's "Jansing & Co." and lampooned only Republican candidates while promoting his new book "American Freak Show."
Scarborough, on his own show last week, called all opponents of Obama's India trip "idiots," and ridiculed their intelligence.
In September, "Morning Joe" hosted Pastor Terry Jones, the Florida minister who at the time was threatening to burn copies of the Koran. Guest Jon Meacham of Newsweek lectured the pastor. Jones' feed was then cut before he could respond, and Scarborough later called critics of the move to cut his feed "crazy people."
A transcript of the segment, which aired on November 12 at 6:43 a.m. EDT, is as follows:
(Video Clip)
JON STEWART: We've all bought into that the conflict in this country is left and right, liberal-conservative, red-blue. Now all the news networks have bought into that. What I do believe is both sides have their way of shutting down debate, and the news networks have allowed these two sides to become the fight in the country. And I think the fight in the country is corruption versus not-corruption, extremist versus regular.
(End Video Clip)
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Ah. In following his comments on this issue, since that rally, and it – I think it's fair to say we could not agree more –
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Can't agree more.
BRZEZINSKI: – with that message.
SCARBOROUGH: And the people that come on this show here couldn't agree more – and I want to underline something he said toward the end of that...it is so true. And it is something that we say constantly. You know, we go out on – we've said this for – remember Willy, we went on the book tours, and would come back, and say "Well we've gone on these book tours, and we find that the majority of Americans are in the same place."
We get all these really nasty e-mails, "No they're not!" (Unintelligible)
BRZEZINSKI: Or tweets –
SCARBOROUGH: And we also brought up the point that we deliver the same speech at the 92nd Street Y that we deliver at Pat Robertson's law school. And people laugh in the same places, they applaud in the same places, they smile in the same places –
BRZEZINSKI: They seem to want the same thing –
SCARBOROUGH: They nod in the same places. And he's right. This is not a battle between red state America and blue state America, left and right. It's really not. It's between the extremists, and I'm talking in terms of the media now. It's between the extremists and the regular people, and in some areas in the media, the extremists dominate. And unfortunately that's what people hear or read or see. But in middle America, you know what? 70-75 percent of Americans want us to get debt under control, want us to get out of Afghanistan, or at least stop fighting all over the globe, want us to have leaders that are respectful to each other. And Jon Stewart's message is so, so important there.
BRZEZINSKI: He also made an interesting point on the 24 hour news cycle. Take a look.
(Video Clip)
STEWART: The problem with 24 hour news cycle is it's built for a very particular thing. Now the problem is, how do you keep people watching it? O.J.'s not going to kill someone every day. So that's gone. So what do you have to do? You have to elevate the passion of everything else that happens that might even be somewhat mundane, and elevate it to the extent that "this is breaking news." "This is developing news." "This is breaking-developing news." The aggregate effect of that is that you begin to lose the lexicon. You begin to lose any meaning of what "breaking news" means, or "urgent."
(End Video Clip)
SCARBOROUGH: And Willie, that's really the thing that shocked us three years ago – this is what ticks me off so much, is that people think that intelligent conversation doesn't rate. And we thought out three years ago that smart conversation – people will find it. And if you have like 15 minute interviews instead of four minute interviews, people will find it. I mean, listen, we're – Fox still has more viewers than us, but we out-rate – we have more viewers watching this show than any other network outside of Fox, and it's just a different audience.
WILLIE GEIST: When I was out on my book tour, people would keep saying "Thank you guys for having a civilized conversation in the morning." It just struck me as odd that they had to thank us for that, because –
SCARBOROUGH: For just talking –
GEIST: – where I live and where you live, at your breakfast table, people aren't screaming at each other from both sides of an argument.
But – but to your point Joe, people don't live on extremes, but right down the middle, and they speak with respect for the other person, I don't think the other person on the other side of the table is a villain.
SCARBOROUGH: And John, you were talking about – John bringing up another great point about – like for instance, waterboarding. It's not enough to say that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were wrongheaded. And like for instance Colin Powell said, these sort of policies will hurt our soldiers in the future. It's not enough to say that, Jon Stewart said, you have to say he's evil. And that shuts down the debate.
MIKE BARNICLE: We can – we can – it is possible to disagree vehemently on a political or policy matter without casting aspersions on the person's character. It's possible to do that.
BRZEZINSKI: But I also think there are deeper questions that we have to look at. Barbara Walters brought it up on "The View" yesterday, and it's about objectivity, and where do you draw the line? She is held to different standards, as to everyone else on that show, and I wonder if it's time just to open things up?
SCARBOROUGH: And to be transparent.
BRZEZINSKI: Completely transparent. Viewers are smart.
CHRYSTIA FREELAND: What, give up the notion of objectivity –
BRZEZINSKI: Let's put that in quotes.
SCARBOROUGH: Seriously? Seriously? Can you think of a journalist that is really objective that doesn't have their own viewpoints? Have to be very shallow.
BRZEZINSKI: Weekend review, next.

For veterans in the pageant field, "trunk show" is common terminology. For our newbies out there, trunks shows are incredible ways to find unique gowns or get inspired by the latest in pageant fashion. A trunk show is a special sale where designers or vendors present select merchandise to consumers at a specific venue or event. Sometimes new merchandise is shown before it is made available to the public. A few of the more prominent trunk shows available in the pageant industry are from designers like Sherri Hill and Mac Duggal or stores like La Casa Hermosa. Typically, state directors will bring a few trunk shows to their state for contestants to peruse. Trunks shows usually don't have bargain prices, but the selection is generally top-notch. There's no junk in the trunk! Keep reading to learn how to make the most of your next trunk show visit!
- Make sure you are honest about your price range when the associates ask you (since they will). Nothing is worse than falling in love with a $5,000 gown when your budget is $250.
- Bring photos. Have an idea of what "look" you are going for. You don't have to stick with it, but it is helpful for the owners to know what kind of dresses they should pull for you.
- Also, definitely BRING YOUR SHOES WITH YOU! A) you need to know how it looks with those shoes and B) If you end up buying the gown, many times they offer in-house alterations so you have to have your shoes so they know if the gown needs to be hemmed at all.
- Also, go to the trunk show with your hair and makeup nicely done. You want to get the full effect of how you will look in the gown so if you show up in sweatpants with your hair a mess, it is less likely you will feel as fabulous in the gown as you should.
- Make an appointment. Trunk shows are usually one weekend only and the closer you get to the pageant date, the closer they fill up.
- While trunk shows are generally a great one stop shop for pageant preparations it doesn't mean they are the only place to buy your gown. The key is to buy a gown you LOVE, not Like. If the trunk show doesn't have what you were looking for – ask the owner/associate if they have a store you can visit.
- Bring someone who's opinion you trust—avoid showing up with an entourage. Not only will there not be enough room for all of you, you don't want too many cooks in the kitchen swaying your decision
- Budget for accessories because there will be some fabulous jewelry on display.

This requires a wifi enabled handset, such as the ATT Tilt, Fuze, or the T-Mobile G1. There are others though. Keep in mind in order to connect to the internet with such a device, you need to frequent an establishment which offers wifi for free. You won't get internet for free per se simply because the handset has the wifi radio.
If you are still unclear on the concept feel free to ask follow up questions.
Is there a legal way to get a phone with wifi ability without paying the phone company for internet access? I am willing to only have such access where I find wifi, so I think I should not have to pay the phone company for access. Any help?

text: I have been under a lot of stress in the last few weeks, but I have been very faithful to my 20 carbs in induction (Atkins) I have been drining 80+ oz. of water eachday, and I exercise. A typical exercise day includes 20 minutes of Abs work each morning. Then a two mile walk at lunch. Every other day, I do 30 minutes of weights. Added to that two or three times a week I go swimming for about 30 minutes. Here is the kicker In the last month, I have lost 2 pounds(and that was 2 weeks ago), and 1 inch I do not know what else to do to get the weight off I do not want to give up, but I am not seeing a difference in weight or inches. Seems that I am just not destined to loose the rest of this weight. I put on a bathing suit, and I almost cried, because I look like a mini whale I use fitday, and I measure all my food. No cheating with anything...I do not get it I am feel like I am outting in all this effort and going no where. Seems like the story f my life lately. I just want to see some success

The Return (Part 1: The Fall of Havensburrow)Mature
Hours later, as the sun clothed itself in a crimson cover, Bain and Malkoff arrived near the large forest. The wind howled and weaved through the trees like a snake through grass, giving the dark forest and eerie animation. Maybe… they should wait the night. It would be foolish to travel the woods in complete darkness with the Bahamut Guild running about.
Usually bandits and thugs were no issue with Bain. He just mentioned his name and they would leave him be. A noble going missing raised questions and usually a squad of knights was sent to take care of the bandit group. It rarely failed. But the Bahamut guild were no ordinary criminals. Only one man had made it out, and he had been half starved and nearly dead. What could they have done to the poor fool?
Bain had to concentrate! "We camp over that hill," Bain ordered, "to keep well out of sight of these woods." Malkoff nodded. Odd fellow, but he was very complacent. Never once did he argue. It was almost like his will to debate was gone. More of a hack and slash fellow really.
They made their way to the hill and over it. Bloody wind was getting colder, though, and Bain had forgotten to grab extra blankets for the night. Well, with all that had been going on – the fight with Arkheem, Elizabeth's sickness, himself being a suspect – Bain knew it was not he who was to blame.
"So, why are we staying away?" Malkoff asked once they had gotten to a desirable spot free from the forests gaze.
Bain pulled the bedroll from Dalzig's saddle and looked to Malkoff. Where had the man been for the last few years? Everyone knew of the Bahamut Guild. They at least had heard rumors! Was this man daft? Bain started to ask him just that, but held it back. This man, he somehow knew, was a good friend. No need to get angry over something so small as ignorance.
"About fifty years ago," Bain said, rolling out his bedroll as Malkoff did the same, "There was a town called Havensburrow at the edge of that forest. It was not a large town, but it did manage a decent wealth by trading ale to a city up north called St. Albans." Bain finished with the bedroll and went for his pipe. Dalzig let out a snort when he retrieved it, So Bain gave the stallion some wheat from a bag and a pat on the nose. The Lord knew Dalzig deserved it.
"This town eventually starting having troubles," Bain continued, "People, children mainly, went missing. At first, the people thought it was a wild animal and so they went to hunt the creature. After killing a few beasts – bears most likely – they were appeased and left the woods." Malkoff started to pick up sticks off the ground. For a fire most likely. "Don't worry about a fire. We don't need to bring attention to ourselves."
"Oh… I suppose you are right," Malkoff said, dropping the sticks and sitting down in his bed roll. His long black hair made him hard to see in the growing darkness of night. "Please, continue."
Bain nodded. He would do so without the man's consent, but it was better to have it. "The people of Havensburrow were satisfied and the attacks stopped. It was all for naught, however, as soon the people began to vanish once more. This time it was women and little girls who started to vanish." Bain took a seat on his bedroll once Dalzig was asleep. The horse wouldn't run off, thankfully, but he was always cranky when Bain didn't soothe him into the sandman's arms.
"What did they do?" Malkoff asked. Good question.
"No one knows," Bain answered before lighting his pipe. It was a good tabac, but sadly some of his last. "Only one man made it out and his only words were: 'The Bahamut Guild…. They took them all.' He died shortly after, but the guard whom he told gathered a large for to investigate." Bain took another deep puff, then looked to his large companion. "Want to know what they found in Havensburrow?"
Malkoff nodded, his dark eyes gleaming with just a little curiosity.
"Nothing," Bain said.
"Nothing? You mean no people?"
Bain shook his head. If only there were no people. It would be understandable then. "No, there was nothing that put Havensburrow on the map. The only thing they did find was the road leading to the village. The buildings, people, and farmlands were gone though. Wiped from the fabric of reality."
Malkoff nodded sadly. "I see…" He knew something but Bain wasn't going to ask. It was dark and he was already tired. Maybe he would have pleasant dreams this night instead of the frequent nightmares he had been receiving. Only time would tell, so Bain finished his tabac and put his pip away. The two men fell asleep shortly after their heads hit the bedrolls. Bain's last thoughts were of Elizabeth. He would see her soon.

#1 General Comment
This Dr. is dangerous
SUBMITTED: Sunday, February 21, 2016POSTED: Sunday, February 21, 2016
Perhaps your remarks are postive because Tangvald knows you have a masters degree. Good for you because that possibly saved your life.
The majority of his patients were poor,destilute, drug addicts or order by the courts to seek mental health treatment. These people were seen as low lifes by him and his staff.
Most of his patients had no jobs and received help through goverment programs. I bet you had your own insurance because those who did and were of the working class were treated with dignity and respect.
I have heard horror stories from people who put thier trust in him only to be degraded,belittled and disrespected. One of those people was my sister. During a visit with Tangvald he called her a "big fat slob and that she was nothing lazy" She called my our mother extremely upset and crying at what he said to her and how she was treated. She also recorded the incident in her journel as well. Shortly after that visit she took her life. I prefer to say he took her life. This man is a danger to his patients and certainly needs to have his license revoked.

This is horrifying
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 04, 2016POSTED: Monday, January 04, 2016
I was reading through these comments and I am absolutely at a loss for words after having read the "freedom of speech does not prevent lies" rebuttal.
The doctor and staff at this office need to understand that taking to the internet to air concerns are is highly constructive, and it is also a great way to look for trends. In this case, all negative reviews left for this doctor and his staff match up perfectly with the sort of behavior one would expect from someone receiving such negative reviews. Especially the following comment, which I quote directly from the aforementioned rebuttal-
"...an inability to respond to most of the complaints detailed on the internet by mentally ill patients or criminals seeking to fraudulently acquire medications or a free ride from the government."
That alone says it all. You are degrading those with mental illness by carelessly lumping them into the same category with criminals and you are making the assertion that people are just looking for handouts. That is a very poor representation of the mentality at this office, and it raises several very serious red flags. Not the least of which being the overall outlook on the patients. I can tell you that, if I were to ever read anything remotely similar to what I just quoted, coming from any of my care providers- I would immediately take them to task and do all I could to expose any sort of issues, much the same way as so many others have done here. All this has done is amplify what everyone has been saying. There is a trend in the types of comments left, that being that people seem to feel degraded and belittled, and that the doctor and his staff are unprofessional and rude.
Having A PhD does not automatically make everyone around you dumber, nor does working in the same office with someone holding a PhD grant you special rights to demean and verbally abuse those looking to you for help. You should be incredibly ashamed of what has been said. Without the ability to read reviews such as these and the many others on all other websites, many people could possibly find themselves in a horrible situation by being duped into thinking that they'll get help when they'll apparently just be seen as another leach.

I could not disagree more
SUBMITTED: Thursday, June 25, 2015POSTED: Thursday, June 25, 2015
Although I'm wasting my time drafting a rebuttal to the previous poster (obviously angry because Dr Thor knew better than to prescribe or continue prescribing this provincial Philistine medication) I feel it necessary and compelling to let my family and the readers of this site to know that Dr Thor not only improved the quality of my life. > > And when it was necessary he made a prudent choice to reduce my meds; which in the end proved to be quite a relief. > > He is the most trusting, down to earth, loving and articulate behavioral specialist I have ever had the privilege of meeting. In my mind I couldn't imagine what my life would be like had I not been under his care for the past 8 years. > > While he may be direct in his communication he has never been remiss, myopic or glib with his advice and encouragement. I've recommended him to a number of adults my age (52 with a Masters Degree, nonetheless) and would not hesitate to continue to do so. > > A. Novogroski

#4 General Comment
Dr Thor Tangvald is very honest
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 07, 2014POSTED: Friday, March 07, 2014
I've been a patient of Dr Tangvald's for years and he has helped me though some very trying times. He has always treated me with respect and compassion. My well being has always been in his best insterest.
He does have a dry sense of humor, which not all people can understand or find humorous. He is extremely knowlogable and maybe to smart for his own good but if you see him with an open mind and do not judge his strong statements about himself, you could get pasted it and allow him to do his job and treat you. I find his honesty and sense of humor refreshing.
It's hard enough to treat people now a days but trashing a doctor on the internet isn't going to make getting treatment any easier. I ask that more people stay positive and leave positive feedback. Hate and anger take to much time and energy.
Keep up the good work Dr. Thor

We've been bombarded with Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger news for the last several weeks.

I have to agree with you, I haven't heard anything negative about Maria Shriver since the whole Arnold ordeal. I can imagine how she must feel but she was very poised about the whole thing and only cares for her family. She did not lash out or even say anything outrageous against Arnold or the other woman. She has my respect for sure.

I've always been impressed with her long before this. What a classy woman. Which makes me that much more disappointed he would do this to her.
