Family member describes soldier killed in Texas post shooting as 'sweet, kind, accommodating'
A soldier with Rolla ties who was killed in the Fort Hood military post shooting Wednesday afternoon is being remembered as a "wonderful, sweet, kind, accommodating, young man" by his family.
Army Sgt. Timothy Owens, 37, was one of three soldiers killed by a gunman who opened fire in the 1st Medical Brigade area at the Texas post. The gunman also wounded 16 soldiers, before committing suicide, according to the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Army John McHugh said the gunman killed himself when confronted by a female military policeman.
Spc. Ivan Antonio Lopez, an Iraq war veteran who was being treated for mental illness, has been identified as the accused gunman.
Dee Humphrey, who lives outside Rolla, is Owens's mother-in-law. On Friday, two days after the incident, she shared a little bit about Owens and how she would like him to be remembered.
"When we (Dee and her husband George, a country music singer with the Big River Band) met him (Owens), he was like one our kids," Humphrey said. "We couldn't have asked for a better son-in-law."
Owens had been married to Humphrey's stepdaughter, Billy, since August of last year.
According to Humphrey, the two met while attending Rolla High School in the 1990s after Owens, who was born and raised in Effingham, Ill., and his family moved to Rolla.
According to current RHS Principal Jim Pritchett, Owens attended RHS twice. No start date was given, but Pritchett said Owens left RHS in April 1994 and came back to RHS at some point before leaving again in 1995 to transfer to another school.
Owens dropped out of high school in 1995, according to his mother, Mary Muntean, and school records, the AP reported, and she said he earned his GED diploma after joining the Army in 2004.
Billy, a Rolla native, graduated from RHS in 1996, according to Pritchett.
The two parted ways, Humphrey said, but years later, her stepdaughter contacted Owens, who had moved to Texas, and the two started dating.
Humphrey remembers meeting Owens for the first time when he came to stay for two weeks with Humphrey's family in June of last year, two months before the wedding.
"They got married at Grandma Virginia's house (in Rolla)," Humphrey said.
"He was amazing," Humphrey recalled, noting that Owens helped remodel her bathroom during his two-week stay. "He was a wonderful cook. He fit right into our home. He could light up your face with his smile. I just can't say enough good things about him." Owens enjoyed working on cars, too, Humphrey recalled.
Humphrey said the couple initially moved to Texas and lived outside of the post for a while before moving onto the post.
Owens will be missed, Humphrey said, noting that he touched many people's lives, including two children from Billy's previous marriage.
"He came and went in a flash," Humphrey said, adding that as a mother herself, said she feels bad for Owens's mother.
"He was all she had ... It's just really hard and I'm very sad for his mother. I'm a mom myself, so my heart goes out to her," Humphrey said.
Owens's wife is handling funeral arrangements, Humphrey said. Owens will be buried next to his brother in the Lake Springs area.
"He really, really, really loved Billy and showed her so much affection," Humphrey said.
Humphrey learned of Owens's death after Billy called them Wednesday night, April 2.
According to Humphrey, the military police went to Billy's home and took her to the hospital, where Owens had been taken. In a room full of doctors and chaplains, Billy was told that Owens "didn't make it," Humphrey said.
Wednesday night there were several posts of sympathy on Billy's Facebook page after the community learned of the incident.
Owens was a heavy vehicle driver who had also been deployed in Iraq and Kuwait, according to the AP.
The other two victims who were killed were identified Friday as 39-year-old Daniel Ferguson, of Mulberry, Fla., and 38-year-old Carlos Lazaney Rodriguez, of Puerto Rico.
"We send out our thoughts and sympathy to all of the families and men who were injured and lost their lives in this," Humphrey said.

During the first year of life, inner-city babies have different patterns of respiratory infections than infants living in suburban environments, which may be a reason they're more likely to develop asthma, analysis of prospective data showed.
For instance, rhinoviruses -- the most frequent cause of the self-limited common cold -- were more often detectable in the nasal secretions of sick infants living in suburban surroundings than in those of urban babies (36% versus 24.1%, P<0.001), according to James Gern, MD, of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and colleagues.
In contrast, sick infants residing in cities with high rates of poverty had higher rates of infections with adenoviruses (4.8% versus 0.7%, P<0.001), which are characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms along with gastroenteritis and ocular infections, the researchers reported online in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Studies have suggested that early-life exposure to respiratory pathogens may play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma, which occurs more frequently in children residing in crowded urban environments.
"Adenovirus is of particular interest relative to long-term outcomes because acute infections can lead to viral shedding for weeks or months," Gern and colleagues noted.
"Since both the immune system and the lungs are rapidly developing in infancy, chronic infections could influence these developmental processes, leading to long-term changes in lung and/or immune function," they wrote.
In an effort to identify specific exposures -- infectious, allergic, or environmental -- that might contribute to the disease, the researchers compared findings from two birth cohort studies.
The Urban Environment and Childhood Asthma (URECA) study included 515 infants from New York, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Boston who had at least one parent with allergies or asthma. Specimens were collected from 2005 to 2008.
The second cohort was the Childhood Origins of Asthma (COAST) study, which included 285 infants from suburban Madison, Wis., who also had a parent with allergies or asthma. Specimens were collected from 1998 to 2001.
In both groups, parents were asked to contact the study investigators if their child developed colds or other respiratory symptoms, and if the symptoms met a specific threshold for severity, the researchers arranged to have nasal swabs done and viral diagnostic testing performed.
Parents also were given routine questionnaires every 3 months during the child's first year about respiratory ailments.
Significant differences were seen in the two groups. In the URECA cohort, mothers were younger and had less education, passive smoke exposure was more frequent, and household income was below $15,000 in the majority.
In addition, far more were African American or Hispanic, and only one-quarter of the infants were breastfed until 3 months of age.
Factors in the urban group that correlated with a greater number of respiratory illnesses included other children in the home (r=0.20, P<0.001), the presence of mouse protein in dust from the child's bedroom (r = 0.11, P=0.016), and eczema in infancy (r=0.10, P=0.03).
A negative correlation were seen for breastfeeding at 3 months (r=−0.10, P=0.027).
No correlations were found for exposure to secondhand smoke, dogs, cats, or dust mites.
In the COAST group, infection with multiple viruses occurred more often (25.3% versus 18%, P=0.02), as did infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus (9.7% versus 6.1%, P=0.07).
In the URECA group, the rate of detection of any virus was lower than in the COAST group (67.5% versus 89.2%, P<0.001), possibly because the urban children had infections from bacterial pathogens such as Hemophilus influenzae or Streptococcus pneumoniae, or were symptomatic because of environmental exposures, the researchers suggested.
Adenovirus plus other viruses were detected in the same specimen in 10.7% of the urban children compared with 5.8% of the suburban group (P<0.001).
In all four URECA sites, the percentages of infections with adenovirus associated with moderate-to-severe disease were high, ranging from 10% to 21%, compared with only 6% of children in Madison.
Among the urban children infected with adenoviruses, more than 80% had the virus detected on more than one occasion, and viral sequence analysis determined that the infections were chronic, rather than being caused by different strains.
In an accompanying editorial commentary, Peter Heymann, MD, and Thomas A.E. Platts-Mills, MD, of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville pointed out that asthma is likely to result from an interaction between early viral respiratory infections and allergic inflammation.
"To what extent other environmental exposures can modulate this process will be easier to judge from these [cohorts] and other prospective studies, followed by intervention studies in the future," the editorialists noted.
Gern and colleagues do plan to continue following the URECA cohort, and also to conduct further studies using genomic analyses to provide additional clarification of the role of respiratory illness in asthma.
A limitation of the study was the investigators' inability to perform a multivariate analysis because of the demographic differences between the two cohorts.
The study and editorial comment were funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The lead author consults and receives research funding from a number of companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Centocor, Boehringer Ingelheim, Gilead, Synairgen, Merck, and AstraZeneca, and holds stock options in 3V BioSciences.
One co-author is a consultant for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

NAMPA, Idaho. -- Senior Maureen Ajoku will end her four year track and field career at UC Santa Barbara with plenty of memories and a whole lot to be proud of. Ajoku's 2012 indoor track season came to end this evening after she placed second in the pentathlon at the Boise State Invitationals and set a tremendous personal record. Her score of 3,785 was an improvement of nearly one-hundred points from her previous mark of 3,688 that she earned at the University of Washington Invite two weeks ago.
While a significant achievement for Ajoku, her score did not qualify her to compete in the NCAA Indoor Championships March 9-10. The current automatic qualifying score for the pentathlon is 4,150.
Upon closer look, Ajoku's past shows the incredible amount of courage and grit that was involved for her to be where she is today. It took all the strength in the world for Ajoku to continue track after losing her parents in the beginning of her track career. Despite the difficult times, Ajoku made an effort to remain on the team by continuing to make strides and showing a desire to improve. "My first couple of years at UCSB were a bit rocky for me and it definitely showed in my results in competitions. I was going through the motions. I had to be strong though and turn all the negatives in my life into positives and that's when my improvements showed," recalls Ajoku.
"I had a significant PR in the long jump, tying the school record, and major improvements in the heptathlon as well. I am just thankful for the program and the coaches for believing in me. This program has lifted my spirits and made me a better athlete and person altogether. Most memorable moment is definitely tying the school record at 19-4.75."
Her coaches can attest to Ajoku's significant improvements as well. "Maureen had a great career at UCSB, very few athletes can boast the kind of improvements she has made as a collegiate athlete. She will leave the program with a long jump school record and a number of performances on the all time UCSB lists," claims Associate Head Coach, Josh Priester.
Ajoku leaves UCSB with her footprint in several top ten lists. She tied the school school record in the long jump at 19-4.75, is tied with eighth place in the high jump with her mark of 5-7, and is second in school history in the heptathlon with her score of 5,108.
As for the remainder of the outdoor season, Ajoku will continue to train with the Gauchos and hopes to land a spot in an M.B.A. program in the fall. She might be a fierce competitor on the field but her cheerful disposition and soft-spoken nature makes Maureen Ajoku a double edged sword, through and through.

The settings for the HTTP service are divided into the following categories in the Admin Console:
When performing benchmarking, ensure that access logging is disabled.
If you need to disable access logging, in HTTP Service click Add Property, and add the following property:
name: accessLoggingEnabled
value: false
You can set the following access log properties:
Rotation (enabled/disabled). Enable rotation to ensure that the logs don't run out of disk space.
Rotation Policy:ime-based or size-based. Size-based is the default.
Rotation Interval.
On the Request Processing tab of the HTTP Service page, tune the following HTTP request processing settings:
Thread Count
Initial Thread Count
Request Timeout
Buffer Length
The Thread Count parameter specifies the maximum number of simultaneous requests the server can handle. The default value is 5. When the server has reached the limit or request threads, it defers processing new requests until the number of active requests drops below the maximum amount. Increasing this value will reduce HTTP response latency times.
In practice, clients frequently connect to the server and then do not complete their requests. In these cases, the server waits a length of time specified by the Request Timeout parameter.
Also, some sites do heavyweight transactions that take minutes to complete. Both of these factors add to the maximum simultaneous requests that are required. If your site is processing many requests that take many seconds, you might need to increase the number of maximum simultaneous requests.
Adjust the thread count value based on your load and the length of time for an average request. In general, increase this number if you have idle CPU time and requests that are pending; decrease it if the CPU becomes overloaded. If you have many HTTP 1.0 clients (or HTTP 1.1 clients that disconnect frequently), adjust the timeout value to reduce the time a connection is kept open.
Suitable Request Thread Count values range from 100 to 500, depending on the load. If your system has extra CPU cycles, keep incrementally increasing thread count and monitor performance after each incremental increase. When performance saturates (stops improving), then stop increasing thread count.
The Initial Thread Count property specifies the minimum number of threads the server initiates upon start-up. The default value is 2. Initial Thread Count represents a hard limit for the maximum number of active threads that can run simultaneously, which can become a bottleneck for performance.
The Request Timeout property specifies the number of seconds the server waits between accepting a connection to a client and receiving information from it. The default setting is 30 seconds. Under most circumstances, changing this setting is unnecessary. By setting it to less than the default 30 seconds, it is possible to free up threads sooner. However, disconnecting users with slower connections also helps.
The size (in bytes) of the buffer used by each of the request processing threads for reading the request data from the client.
Adjust the value based on the actual request size and observe the impact on performance. In most cases the default should suffice. If the request size is large, increase this parameter.
Both HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 support the ability to send multiple requests across a single HTTP session. A server can receive hundreds of new HTTP requests per second. If every request was allowed to keep the connection open indefinitely, the server could become overloaded with connections. On Unix/Linux systems, this could easily lead to a file table overflow.
The Application Server's Keep Alive system addresses this problem. A waiting keep alive connection has completed processing the previous request, and is waiting for a new request to arrive on the same connection. The server maintains a counter for the maximum number of waiting keep-alive connections. If the server has more than the maximum waiting connections open when a new connection waits for a keep-alive request, the server closes the oldest connection. This algorithm limits the number of open waiting keep-alive connections.
If your system has extra CPU cycles, incrementally increase the keep alive settings and monitor performance after each increase. When performance saturates (stops improving), then stop increasing the settings.
The following HTTP keep alive settings affect performance:
Thread Count
Max Connections
Time Out
Keep Alive Query Mean Time
Keep Alive Query Max Sleep Time
Max Connections controls the number of requests that a particular client can make over a keep-alive connection. The range is any positive integer, and the default is 256.
Adjust this value based on the number of requests a typical client makes in your application. For best performance specify quite a large number, allowing clients to make many requests.
The number of connections specified by Max Connections is divided equally among the keep alive threads. If Max Connections is not equally divisible by Thread Count, the server can allow slightly more than Max Connections simultaneous keep alive connections.
Time Out determines the maximum time (in seconds) that the server holds open an HTTP keep alive connection. A client can keep a connection to the server open so that multiple requests to one server can be serviced by a single network connection. Since the number of open connections that the server can handle is limited, a high number of open connections will prevent new clients from connecting.
The default time out value is 30 seconds. Thus, by default, the server will close the connection if idle for more than 30 seconds. The maximum value for this parameter is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
The proper value for this parameter depends upon how much time is expected to elapse between requests from a given client. For example, if clients are expected to make requests frequently then, set the parameter to a high value; likewise, if clients are expected to make requests rarely, then set it to a low value.
The only HTTP Protocol attribute that significantly affects performance is DNS Lookup Enabled.
This setting specifies whether the server performs DNS (domain name service) lookups on clients that access the server. When DNS lookup is not enabled, when a client connects, the server knows the client's IP address but not its host name (for example, it knows the client as 22.214.171.124, rather than www.xyz.com). When DS lookup is enabled, the server will resolve the client's IP address into a host name for operations like access control, common gateway interface (CGI) programs, error reporting, and access logging.
If the server responds to many requests per day, reduce the load on the DNS or NIS (Network Information System) server by disabling DNS lookup. Enabling DNS lookup will increase the latency and load on the system—do so with caution.
The Enterprise Server uses a file cache to serve static information faster. The file cache contains information about static files such as HTML, CSS, image, or text files. Enabling the HTTP file cache will improve performance of applications that contain static files.
Set the file cache attributes in the Admin Console under Configurations > config-name > HTTP Service (HTTP File Cache).
Max Files Count determines how many files are in the cache. If the value is too big, the server caches little-needed files, which wastes memory. If the value is too small, the benefit of caching is lost. Try different values of this attribute to find the optimal solution for specific applications—generally, the effects will not be great.
Hash Init Size affects memory use and search time, but rarely will have a measurable effect on performance.
This parameter controls how long cached information is used after a file has been cached. An entry older than the maximum age is replaced by a new entry for the same file.
If your web site's content changes infrequently, increase this value for improved performance. Set the maximum age by entering or changing the value in the Maximum Age field of the File Cache Configuration page in the web-based Admin Console for the HTTP server node and selecting the File Caching Tab.
Set the maximum age based on whether the content is updated (existing files are modified) on a regular schedule or not. For example, if content is updated four times a day at regular intervals, you could set the maximum age to 21600 seconds (6 hours). Otherwise, consider setting the maximum age to the longest time you are willing to serve the previous version of a content file after the file has been modified.
The cache treats small, medium, and large files differently. The contents of medium files are cached by mapping the file into virtual memory (Unix/Linux platforms). The contents of small files are cached by allocating heap space and reading the file into it. The contents of large files are not cached, although information about large files is cached.
The advantage of distinguishing between small files and medium files is to avoid wasting part of many pages of virtual memory when there are lots of small files. So the Small File Size Limit is typically a slightly lower value than the VM page size.
When File Transmission is enabled, the server caches open file descriptors for files in the file cache, rather than the file contents. Also, the distinction normally made between small, medium, and large files no longer applies since only the open file descriptor is being cached.
By default, File Transmission is enabled on Windows, and disabled on UNIX. On UNIX, only enable File Transmission for platforms that have the requisite native OS support: HP-UX and AIX. Don't enable it for other UNIX/Linux platforms.

HOBBS, N.M. – Jake McCasland and the New Mexico Junior College Thunderbirds gave the Blinn Buccaneers an inhospitable welcome to the Land of Enchantment.
New Mexico defeated Blinn 16-3 and 15-7 here Saturday as McCasland drove in nine runs, including seven in the second game of the double-header.
The Buccaneer pitching staff never got its footing as seven different Thunderbirds drove in runs in the opening game. Emmanuel Forcier and Connar O'Gorman each drove in three runs for New Mexico, while McCasland and Omar Gomez each drove in two.
Taylor Cobb threw the first 1 2/3 innings for the Bucs, allowing eight earned runs before Kyle Mueller came on in relief. Mueller allowed two earned runs in 1 2/3 innings and J.C. Neighbors threw the final 2/3 inning, allowing six earned runs.
Tyler Coker hit a two-run homer and Kevin Santana hit a solo shot for the Bucs.
The Buccaneers got more offense in the second game, but McCasland almost single-handedly led the Thunderbirds, blasting two home runs and smacking a triple on his way to seven RBIs.
Brandon Montalvo went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs for the Bucs, and Cullen Gassaway was 3-for-4 with an RBI. Santana went 3-for-4 and Colin Kowal drove in a pair of runs.
Freshman Robert Dickey allowed six earned runs in four innings for Blinn, and Michael Vielma allowed three earned runs in 2/3 innings of relief. Tyler Day threw three innings, allowing two earned runs, before Cole Doherty recorded the final out.
With the losses, Blinn fell to 2-6 on the season.
Blinn and New Mexico conclude the three-game series in Hobbs at 11 a.m. Sunday.

Puff the Magic Dragon has officially declared himself embarrassed and outraged at the dumb (okay, very, very dumb) pilfering of his eponymous song.
Chip-off-the-old-right-wing-block (surnamed Saltsman) has made a fool of himself and the Republican Party, sending out -- as Christmas gifts, no less -- a bunch of songs on a CD including the following: "Barack the Magic Negro," which boasted an Al Sharpton-sounding voice singing resentments of Obama, spouting envy that a man of such dubious racial authenticity would be the first "Negro" to step into the Promised Land (meaning, of course, the White House).
Here's a line from it: "Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C./ The L.A. Times they called him that/ 'cause he's not authentic like me."
Actually, it does sound like something Al Sharpton might say about Barack, but that's another story.
Chip Saltsman, of Tennessee [photo, above, by AP] -- who has been defending his circulation of the song -- has wanted to be leader of the Republican Party. But now bigwigs of the lately losing party are broadly offended by the overtly racial nature of the Puff song.
Their hoped-for future of inclusion has been handed a major setback.
As for liberals -- who, granted, are most naturally offended by the CD -- Peter Yarrow, co-writer of the original "Puff the Magic Dragon," writes in the Huffington Post:
"It is almost unimaginable to me that Chip Saltzman (sic) who sent the CD, would seriously be considered for the top post of the Republican National Committee . . . Puff, himself, if asked, would certainly agree." (read Yarrow's post.)
Let's wait and see if Saltsman gets the honey, which is to say the top party post he has been desiring. His buddy Rush Limbaugh may be on his side (and, by the way, making money off the controversy along the way) but Saltsman may have slipped and gravely injured himself on metaphorical ice of his own making.
Here's the song, put to a nice video show:

Simple, quick test
Maybe you've heard about the Conficker worm, a computer virus that became active on April 1. Millions of computers are said to be infected with it. It is unknown how or when the worm will be used, but it probably won't be used benevolently.
A quick, easy test for the virus has been posted by the Conficker Working Group. Visit the test page and compare your results with the charts at the bottom of the page. This is a reliable test, as long as you aren't viewing the internet through a proxy server (such as a web accelerator provided by a dial-up internet service.)
Or, simply try to visit some of the anti-virus software websites such as Symantec, Trend Micro, or F-Secure. If you can't open the websites, your computer is probably infected with Conficker.
the test page, just to be sure. If you learn that your computer is infected, see the CNET article: "Rid your computer of the Conficker Virus".
This information is a little off topic for Prairie Bluestem, I know, but I don't want any of my readers to be caught unaware. If you're not using anti-virus software currently, a good, free program is available from AVG.

Approved proposal by Fleis & VandenBrink Engineering to conduct environmental site assessment on a portion of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) property after ADM proposed removing silos there and donating land to city.
The Portland City Council approved a proposal by Fleis & VandenBrink Engineering to conduct an environmental site assessment on a portion of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) property after ADM proposed removing silos there and donating the land to the city.
The Phase One Environmental Site Assessment of the west side of 401 E. Grand River Ave. is "a preliminary review of the property" and its use in the past, Fleis & VandenBrink engineer Paul Galdes explained to council members. This would include a site visit and a review of other environmental reports that may have been done.
"It's a cursory review to determine if we should pursue other (more detailed) environmental assessments," Galdes said. "There is potential liability with any environmental issues (on the property). Taking this property is taking on future potential maintenance and cost."
The silos would be removed from "ground elevation up," he said. In addition there are chunks of concrete in the river; however, before anything can be removed, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality would have to be involved, because this could potentially affect river flow.
"You can't just start pulling that type of concrete structure from the river," said Galdes.
There also are retaining walls around the property, and changing river flow could change erosion and affect these walls long-term, said Portland City Manager Tutt Gorman.
"We have to do our due diligence and make sure the property is suited for its intended and proposed use (before accepting ADM's donation of land)," Gorman said. "I am cautiously optimistic that the report will come back OK. The concern is really more with liability, and sharing of those costs."
The price tag of the assessment is $2,000. ADM has said it would pay half, said Gorman.
Should this project go through, there would be "substantial impact to traffic," Galdes said. ADM expects the project could take three weeks to demolish the silos. If Divine Highway is shut down for that period of time, it would require "a significant detour" of 7.5 miles over gravel roads or 15 over paved roads.
"It makes sense to ask them to keep one lane of traffic open," he said. "It's going to cause a tremendous headache for residents."
"There's no good way to find alternatives as far as detours. School is in session now. Ideally this would be done in the summer months," said Gorman. "We have to look to see what is beneficial. This would be a huge burden to the community."

I have noticed that a lot of atheists and skeptics will still say "Oh my god" or "Jesus" when they are surprised by something.
I always tell people, "Don't use the g-word", or "Don't use the j-word."
People will defend the practice by saying that it is due to habit. Some excuse it, saying that it is just part of the culture.
For those who say it is habit, I say: Say strong, my naturalistic brothers and sisters. Change your habits to reflect your rational outlook.
For those who say it is okay because it is part of the culture, I reject that excuse. How did it come into culture? From religion. We must remove all religious and superstitious influences from our culture and our thinking. If we do not remove religion in small ways, how can we remove in large ways?
People should not replace "Oh my god" with something like "Oh my Darwin", or "Oh my Hithchens". We do not worship fictional characters. We should neither invoke nor give the appearance of worship of fictional or actual people, living or dead. Do not personify or
anthropomorphize the impersonal universe.
The only exclamation I can think of at the moment is: "Uranium 235!" [Note 1]
Make your awe and wonder reflect the mechanistic nature of the universe.
[1] Would "Thorium Tits" count as a compliment amongst the scientifically literate?

Plenty of bullshit out there, bro - including stuff that actually HURTS, restricts rights, promotes pseudo-science and screws with our government and wants to promote the idea that the US is a christian nation, never mind crap that comes from the followers of the New Apostolic Reformation. By comparison, worrying about atheists using words such as god and Jesus-Jebus-Haysus-whatever is way small potatoes by comparison.
Worth note, too - there's plenty of talk here on A|N about god, whether he/she/it exists and if so what happens. These discussions have been going on since before I joined A|N three years ago. You want to rail on about that, too?
I do not have to accept bullshit just because it is part of the culture. Why join a site called Atheist Nexus if you are going to just accept the bullshit people give you?
If you want to be a sheep, go ahead. Do not tell me that I have to be one.
Good night, Agnes! If you're going to be that much of an ouch-cube about a lousy word - god, you have a bigger problem than perceived threats from me. Like it or not, it's part of the vernacular and the culture, and changing that is going to require as large a change in social inertia as getting believers to stop believing.
I will continue to speak and swear as I see fit, full stop.
To Loren Miller: Do not threaten me under any circumstances, not even in jest.. If you try to kick my ass, I will kill you. You don't like it? I will lump you.
I just use the Jesus F. Christ one and occasionally say "Oh Your God!"
'Cides, on my work site, Jesus IS the little shit that does most of the fucked up stuff. I'm not going to blame his essay Gabriel.
Whereupon I say, "Attempt to censor me, and I'll kick your ass to Zanzibar!"
I express myself mostly in the moment and as I see fit. Frequently, I will use what you might find as more acceptable expletives, such as: "Good night, Agnes!" or, under greater stress," Great holy fuck-a-duck!" However, particularly when I'm not thinking about it, "Jesus Christ" still pops out and I will apologize to NO ONE about it.
It's part of my upbringing and who I am. Maybe it'll change over time, but in the overall scheme of things, it's small potatoes compared to other shit that's going on. You don't like it? LUMP IT.

Thursday November 1, 2012
Amy Winehouse's wedding dress, which was to be auctioned for charity, has been stolen from her London home.
The dress she wore to marry Blake Fielder-Civil in Miami, 2006 was stolen along with a newsprint cocktail dress she wore to perform on the BBC live music show Later With Jools Holland.
It was hoped that the dress could have raised up to £100,000 for her foundation which helps youngsters beat drugs and develop their music. And the cocktail dress could have raised a further £30,000 at the auction which takes place later this year.
A spokesman for the Amy Winehouse Foundation said the dresses were stolen from the performer's Camden home but it is not believed the property was broken into.
Amy's family have been cataloguing her possessions at the property - which fans have turned into a shrine - and only recently realised that the garments were missing.
Mitch Winehouse, Amy's father tweeted: "Thanks for all lovely messages about Amy's dresses. They would have helped lots of disadvantaged kids. Amy will figure out another way to help."
Because of the items' significance, it is thought they might have been stolen to order by someone entering the property during events after her death in July last year.
The spokesman said: "A lot of clothes and items were left and they were being catalogued when it was realised these two were missing. They were going to go to the foundation but somebody might be trying to sell them for their own profit. People need to know they are not supposed to be out there on the market and they should not try to buy them."

Great software. Installed in my site today no trouble at all and does everything it should. Not sure where to log requests so here it is. I like the little yellow boxes that turn green after we edit the text. But at times we need to edit entire paragraphs. This is so with translations from say English to Japanese. The little yellow boxes just don't do it. To do this it would be great to have a delete the lot and retype the lot from scratch option. Maybe side by side original language and empty editor box.

Reviving a Georgian-Style Treasure in St. Louis
Once a noble wreck, now imbued with light and grace
Slide 1 Of Reviving a Georgian-Style Treasurein St. Louis
New York designer Marshall Watson feared the worst. Clients Amy and Bill Koman were set on ripping out the original black and white marble entry tiles in their Georgian-style St. Louis home. Designed in 1922 by architect Edward F. Nolte, the house had fallen into disrepair, but it remained architecturally important. From the slate roof and detailed limestone friezes and arches to the stone-railed brick terraces and interior marble floor tiles, its parts were good even if the sum failed to reach its potential.
"I told them that people in London and Paris would die for that tile," Watson recalls. "I said they just needed to restore this house. The architecture would shine through."
A repeat client, Amy listened. When Watson said the magic words—"we will bring in decorative elements to make it more youthful, more with the times"—she acquiesced. "I loved keeping the integrity, but I also wanted to bring our current lifestyle to this house," she says.
As a "noble wreck," the house was intact but in need of TLC and updates. Watson reinvigorated all the rooms (plus he designed the interior of the new great-room addition). Fortunately, he was able to retain all of the original architecture in the living room. "I loved the old stone fireplace and plasterwork," the designer says. Despite the heaviness of the wood, the room feels light, with pale carpet and upholstery. Amy and Watson were in agreement: The art must sing. "We designed it so the art, the architecture, and the colors did not compete but reinforced each other," explains Watson. A blue-gray palette keeps the room warm but neutral.
"This is where we entertain," says Amy. "Candlelight parties are very pretty with the reflections on the silver accents. It's designed so people can gravitate to their own little seating areas and socialize." Bill, a real estate developer, philanthropist, and two-time lymphoma survivor, is a major fundraiser for cancer research. The Komans' living room is his favorite venue for events. "It's a great place to host meetings rather than going to a restaurant," says Amy. "It can accommodate a lot of people."
A space Amy admired in a Neiman Marcus catalog inspired the dining room's backdrop. "We had a painter copy the strié gray-green wall color," she says. The painter began with a blue base topped with beige strié that was then trimmed with silver leaf atop gold—a month of painting. The resulting paneled walls have a quintessential Louis XVI look but also offer a freshness ushered in by views through three arch-topped French doors that lead to the terrace and garden.
Watson found "the perfect antique table" from a Long Island estate, then adapted Louis J. Solomon chairs by adding stretchers to their oval backs. "The stretchers give the Louis XVI-style chairs the look of an original," he says.
To match their lifestyle, the Komans, an athletic couple with three daughters, turned a formal sitting room into a good-times family room. "This is where we put the Christmas tree each year," says Amy. "It's where we light a fire and watch movies." Watson's task was to lighten the room. "It's in the center of the house and was very dark, with ebony moldings. I wanted to keep it rich but comfortable," he explains.
A Scottish sideboard and diamond-back chairs create the desired architectural presence. "I love my diamond-back chairs because they are comfortable while also looking good from the front and the back, so they can float in the room," notes the designer. With Amy's art collection and the Japanese-style coffee table, the family room "has a wonderful English coziness to it with an eclectic feel," muses Watson.
To further meet the family's needs, the team built an addition onto the kitchen to serve as a great room where the Komans' three daughters can do homework and be close to Amy as she prepares meals. "The Scandinavian design works with the Georgian-style architecture because both reference the 18th century," notes Watson.
In the private spaces, the spirit shifts a bit from entertaining to intimate, but the mood remains welcoming. The master bedroom is all about chilling. "I like its quiet colors—no bright artwork," says Amy. "When you look out the windows, you see the fountains, the big oaks, and the 'Annabelle' hydrangeas. I read at night to calm down, so I wanted a bedroom that was calming." Watson's take on the space: "Not Zen modern but Zen with patina."
Watson credits the original architecture as the root of the restoration's success. "Gracious scale, the flow of the rooms, the heights of the ceilings, and the quality of details all begged for a classic approach with clean lines. There is a beautiful sense of proportion created in the 1920s that these architects from the Beaux Arts period truly understood. Seldom do you have the honor to work on a house like this with such beautiful bones." Watson and the Komans brought those bones back to life.

Pool House Exterior
The pool house was built as a self-contained entertaining space separate from the main house. "Amy and Bill asked me to come up with a design for the pool house that integrated the gracious qualities of the beautiful Georgian house, the landscape, and its location on the property," says designer Marshall Watson. The façade at the back of the main house was adapted for the front of the pool house.
Slide 9 Of Reviving a Georgian-Style Treasurein St. Louis [28]
Pool House Interior
Light and airy, the interior incorporates elements from the main house—like the vaulted wood ceiling of the great room—while allowing for maximum sunlight and open space. The resulting effect is similar to a Scandinavian pavilion.

Gingrich banks on wins in Alabama and Mississippi
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Republican Newt Gingrich says he plans to campaign for president until the party's nominating convention in August, but his candidacy largely rests on the results of Tuesday's primaries in.
The former House speaker is banking on a Southern strategy that has yielded victories only in South Carolina and Georgia, the latter a state he represented in Congress for 20 years. Winning both contests Tuesday is vital to sustaining his limping candidacy.
Gingrich's campaign appearances Tuesday include a speech to an Alabama community chamber of commerce and a visit to the Birmingham Zoo. He is hosting a primary night event in Birmingham before a trip to Chicago ahead of the Illinois primary on March 20.
Polling shows a tight three-way race among Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in both Alabama and Mississippi.
In an address to the Alabama Republican Presidential Forum in Birmingham on Thursday, Gingrich implored voters to turn out and support his candidacy.
"I've stayed in this race for two reasons," he said. "I do not believe the two other candidates can beat President Obama. We have to win in a principled way with a big enough agenda and enough momentum to change Washington decisively."

Subtitled "The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare," the award-winning film will be shown at Andrew's Skylight Theater in Hood River Nov. 2 through Nov. 6. The movie is rated PG-13 and start times vary. Call theater for details.
A question-answer session is scheduled after the Nov. 2 showing, led by Hood River physician Dr. Erin Martin;. Dr. Allen LaBerge, family physician at Northshore Medical Group, White Salmon; and Dr. Bonnie New of Columbia Gorge Health Care for All in Hood River.
"The film is a non-partisan viewpoint about what's wrong and it offers a variety of ways to fix our national health care system," said Martin, who recently opened TrueMed Institute in Hood River. She originally worked in Hood River as a physician at LaClinica del Carino.
Martin said the film assesses who has power in the health care industry and "what we can do to change it."
One statement in the film, Martin said, is "there is a river of money flowing into a few pockets, and people who don't want anything to change." "Escape Fire," directed by Susan Froemke and Matthew Heineman, premiered at the 2012 Sundance Festival and won best documentary and best director honors at the Newport Beach and Berkshire film festivals, respectively.

About the Book
What is the single most important thing you have learned from your mother? Unlock My Story posed this question—plus a handful of others—to friends, family and Facebook fans for a new book, Mothers and Life Lessons. The hope was to create a gift book of inspiration in celebration of all moms and to pass on the priceless life wisdom moms share with their children. Who better to provide lessons in living than two generations of amazing women who steadfastly (and often quietly) raised families, loved unconditionally, nurtured dreams, embodied courage, made sacrifices, pioneered career paths and experienced both the joys and hardships of life from the 1920s through today. Twenty-five sons and daughters stepped up and shared their stories of love, pride and, most of all, gratitude for their moms. The questions provided a starting point for each child to reflect upon and talk about their mom's influence on who they are today. What emerged were heartfelt stories that were equal parts love letter to Mom and a recipe for navigating life. The stories range from lighthearted and humorous to heartbreaking, with each story carrying a powerful message of inspiration. Together the collection forms 25 cherished life lessons lovingly passed from mother to child. This 10x8 softcover book was designed so that the story narrative continues beyond these twenty-five amazing women. At the back of the book are two pages designed, ready and waiting to add your story and photo. Whether it's in celebration of Mother's Day, a special birthday, a gift to a new mom, or perhaps someone you know who needs a bit of motherly wisdom, you can add your handwritten story "What my mother taught me" to share with family and friends.

My question is I am interested in riwayatu Warsh in the style of Asbihaan, what I want to know is some of its usool if not..
Asalaam aleykum
First of all jazakumullahu kheyran jaza for your effort teaching millions of Muslims tajweed and this great website; I say jazakumullahu kheyran jaza.
My question is I am interested in riwayatu Warsh in the style of Asbihaan, what I want to know is some of its usool if not all. Alhamdulillah I know the usool of riwayatu Warsh an naafi3 an Tariiq Azraq, I heard that there are many difference between Asbihaan and Azraq like the mudood, tarqeeq, taqleel, and taghleedh harfu laam, please could you provide me with some detail about Asbihaan, any website where I can listen or download Asbihaan?, and why is it not famous like the style of Azraq?
insha Allaah i would be looking forward to your reply. jazakumullahu kheyran jaza.
wassalaam aleykum
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Jazakum Allahu khairan for your dua'.
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree outlined the different turuq meaning "ways" and it is the plural of , in his book An-Nashr fi-l-qira'aat al-'ashr of each of the ten qira'aat and their riwaayaat. Each of these ways ( ) is part of tareeq at-tayyibah. The recitation of Warsh 'an Nafi' has two riwaayah in an-Nashr, and from these two riwaayah are all the different turuq for Warsh. Al-Azraq is one of the two riwaayah and Al-Asbahaani the other; each of these has many turuq. The riwaayah of Warsh min tareeq ash-Shatibiyyah is one of the turuq under Al-Azraq, and this is the way of Warsh that is well known and read in different parts of the world today, mainly in parts of North Africa. This is most likely the tareeq that you are familiar with and have learned.
You are correct; there are differences between the different turuq under Al-Azraq and the others under Al-Asbahaan. The ways under Al-Asbahaan have different lengths for the mudood, different rules of tafkheem/tarqeeq of the letter , etc. To find out details, we suggest you look at An-Nashr and the different ways and rules that are outlined there for each of the various turuq of Warsh. Very few students of the Qur'an learn the ways of Tareeq at-Tayyibyah, so it would be unlikely to find a recording of one of the ways of Asbahan.
The ways outlined by Imam Ash-Shatibiyy are the ways that are most popular for all the seven qira'aat. They were the most popular over 900 years ago, and by Allah's will, are still the ones known by those who study the qira'aat today. Only Allah knows the divine wisdom in this.
Wa iyyaakum wa-l-muslimeen.
Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuah.

Learn more about Mary Magdalene
Was there a secret marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, or was Mary Magdalene one of the first feminist theologians of the New Testament period? Did Jesus have female disciples? The book of Pistis Sophia reveals in its dialogue the true relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. It portrays a deep spiritual relationship between the two, which is different from that suggested in Dan Brown's best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code, but is revealed in the Pistis Sophia. This book, whose title unites the Greek words for "Faith" and "Wisdom", was used as a sacred text by the early Coptic Church community of Egypt in the 2nd century AD. Sophia (Wisdom) itself was regarded by the early Coptics as a female presence who undergoes the experience of transgression and redemption in her path to full participation in the many universes, in conjunction with the Christ.
The Coptic Christian documents found in Egypt, like the Dead Sea Scrolls found in Israel, are important in reconstructing the lost years of Jesus and give us in-depth insights into his works and his teachings. Like the Gospel of Thomas and other recently discovered documents of the Nag Hammadi Library, the Pistis Sophia is devoted entirely to the esoteric teachings of Jesus to his disciples. This ancient text presents deeper aspects of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and his detailed deciphering of the mysteries of the universe. These teachings for the most part give a new perspective of the four gospels of the New Testament and the Old Testament book of Psalms.
In this edition of Pistis Sophia, Dr. J.J. Hurtak, scholar and orientalist, and D.E. Hurtak, social scientist and researcher, provide extensive commentary to help you understand the original texts which are included in their entirety in a newly revised translation, and guide us through the extraordinary plight of Sophia (Wisdom) into a fuller understanding of the world around us.

NEW YORK (AP) Martin St. Louis found another way to lift up his New York Rangers teammates. This time he carried them within one win of the Stanley Cup finals.
What St. Louis lacks in physical size, he compensates with heart. Since he rejoined the club one day after the unexpected death of his mother, without missing a game, St. Louis has provided inspiration on and off the ice.
Now he also is delivering the clutch offense he has always been known for.
St. Louis scored his sixth goal of the playoffs 6:02 into overtime to give the Rangers a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday night.
New York leads the series 3-1 and can advance to the championship round for the first time since claiming the Cup 20 years ago as early as Tuesday night in Montreal. The Rangers won the first two games on the road before losing Game 3 in overtime Thursday night.
''It's a big difference up 3-1 instead of 2-2 going back to Montreal,'' St. Louis said. ''We were obviously disappointed with the result last game. We thought we played a good game. That's just hockey. Tonight we are on a good end, and it's a big plus.''
A loose puck came to St. Louis, alone in the right circle, and he fired a snap shot over goalie Dustin Tokarski's shoulder.
''I just got open,'' said St. Louis, who has 39 career playoff goals. ''I tried to trust my instincts. I hit some good shots, he made some good saves. I was fortunate this one got by him.''
The Rangers won after squandering a pair of one-goal leads.
''I just remember there was a turnover somewhere around the neutral zone. I'm not sure,'' Tokarski said. ''St. Louis had some time and picked a corner on me. It's a game of inches, and we came up a bit short.''
Carl Hagelin put the Rangers in front with a short-handed tally in the first period, and Derick Brassard made it 2-1 in the second. Hagelin also assisted on St. Louis' winner.
Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves and earned his 41st postseason win, tying the franchise record of Mike Richter, who was in attendance. He also earned an assist on Brassard's goal for his first career postseason point.
''I'm really proud to be out there with those guys, and hopefully can keep it going a little more,'' Lundqvist said.
The Rangers are 6-1 since the death of St. Louis' mother galvanized the team. St. Louis was acquired from Tampa Bay at the March trade deadline for former captain Ryan Callahan.
''He has been great for us ever since he got here,'' said Hagelin, who also scored his sixth goal. ''He shows a lot of tenacity and emotion every time he steps on the ice.''
Francis Bouillon tied it for Montreal in the second, and fellow defenseman P.K. Subban made it 2-2 in the third with a power-play goal. David Desharnais assisted on both for Montreal. Tokarski stopped 26 shots for the Canadiens, who went 1 for 8 on the power play.
''By no means are we counting ourselves out,'' Canadiens captain Brian Gionta said. ''It's a tough loss, it's a bitter loss, but at the end of the day we are still in this series. I still like our chances with two games at home.''
The Rangers rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the second round against Pittsburgh.
Though there were 13 minor penalties, there was no carry-over of the nastiness in Game 3 when a hit by Montreal's Brandon Prust broke the jaw of New York forward Derek Stepan. Prust served the first game of a two-game suspension. Stepan sat out after having surgery.
The Rangers gave Montreal five power plays through the first two periods, and New York's penalty-killers stood tall. But the sixth produced the tying goal 2 minutes into the third period when Subban scored his first goal of the series and first point in six games.
That broke the Rangers' run of 27 straight killed penalties, dating to Game 2 of the second round.
Montreal came at the Rangers in waves for much of the third period and nearly grabbed the lead when Alex Galchenyuk, who scored in overtime of Game 3, struck the crossbar with 3:17 left in regulation.
Brassard, the focal point of some of the war of words between the two head coaches over the weekend, proved he has recovered from his Game 1 injury when he ripped a slap shot past Tokarski to restore the Rangers' lead with 55.3 seconds left in the second.
Lundqvist stopped a puck behind the net and moved it up to Dan Girardi in the right circle. Girardi sent a pass nearly the length of the ice to Brassard, who grabbed the puck at the lower edge of the left circle, pulled his stick way back, held it loaded and then unleashed a drive that soared into the net for his fifth of the playoffs.
Brassard had missed most of the first three games of the series. Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said on Saturday he knew exactly what was ailing Brassard, comments that were perceived by the Rangers as a veiled threat.
The goal was a strong response by the Rangers, who lost their 1-0 lead at 8:08 of the second when Bouillon fired a shot in over Lundqvist's left shoulder during a 2-on-1 break.
The Rangers put themselves into trouble by taking three straight offensive-zone penalties in the first period, but they were the ones who produced a goal during the power plays.
While Benoit Pouliot was serving the first few seconds of his high-sticking penalty against defenseman Alexei Emelin, the Rangers gained control of the puck after a faceoff in their end. Brian Boyle was deep in the zone when he spotted Hagelin streaking up the middle of the ice.
Boyle hit him in stride with a pass just before the blue line, and Hagelin carried the puck in alone, shifted to his backhand in close, and slid the puck in at 7:18. New York's first short-handed goal of this postseason came 12 seconds into Pouliot's penalty.

How can someone "seriously" compare them when:Did anybody "seriously" compare compute shaders vs OpenCL?
1: NVIDIA's Compute Shader implementation is barely 6 months old and hasn't been out of beta for more than a few months.
2: AMD doesn't even have a Compute Shader implementation yet.
In short, compute shaders are too immature at the present time to be "seriously" comparing them to anything. It's simply too soon to answer most of your questions.
The other question is this: what exactly are you using them for?
Compute Shaders exist to do exactly one thing: make it more convenient to do GPU computations that directly support rendering operations. Before CS's, if you wanted to do instanced rendering with frustum culling, you had to use Geometry Shaders via some hacky methods. This involved a pointless vertex shader, as well as working around the semantics of GS output streams and other such things.
Now, you can just use a CS (hardware and drivers willing).
Compute Shaders are not a replacement for all uses of OpenCL. If all you're doing with your compute tasks is to read the data back on the CPU, stick with OpenCL. Compute Shaders are primarily intended to help rendering operations. They exist so that you don't have to do expensive context switches and such that OpenCL/GL interop requires. If your compute tasks aren't about rendering operations, then you shouldn't be using CS's.
Simply saying that you lost 20% performance "in my case" really isn't enough information to know if that's reasonable or not.

"An Urologist's View on PSA Testing" by Dr. Roger E. Schultz, MD, of Riverside Hampton Roads Urology. Schultz is the co-author with Alex Olive of "Humanizing Prostate Cancer," a manual for patients.
"The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has decided that the PSA (prostate specific antigen) blood test is not a reliable screening tool. ... Their decision will, in the opinion of many, adversely impact the health of many men. Instead of throwing out the whole baby with the bathwater, they could have refined their recommendations and identified the subset of men who truly can benefit from PSA screening."
(Daily Press Editor's note: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is an independent panel of private-sector experts that conduct impartial assessments of the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of a broad range of clinical preventive services, including screening, counseling, and preventive medications. Its recommendations are considered the "gold standard" for clinical preventive services and affect standard of care and insurance coverage.)
... "We can still use the PSA test to good advantage by limiting its application to selected men:
1. African-American males who have a higher risk of prostate cancer;
2. Men whose father or brother has been treated for prostate cancer;
3. Men who desire screening and are healthy enough to live well for at least another 10 years.
The argument against PSA testing stems from concern about overdetection and overtreatment. Current urologic practice does address these concerns. Instead of acting upon a single PSA value, we often choose to monitor the PSA values over time. We can decide NOT to do a prostate biopsy if the PSA is stable. Likewise, we can reduce overtreatment by recognizing that low grade/low volume cancers may be monitored by active surveillance and not necessarily treated. Often this entails another prostate biopsy at a later time, but there is hope that we may be able to rely on the less invasive MRI for information about cancer progression.
It is not the PSA blood test itself that is a problem, but rather what we choose to do with the information. If the test is properly applied to selected men and monitored serially, it will uncover early cases of potentially lethal prostate cancer.
Every urologist knows this, but they were not part of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force panel of experts.
We are concerned that insurance carriers may stop paying for PSA testing in all men. Until we have a better test (and there will certainly be one), the PSA still performs well when applied sensibly and interpreted carefully."

Hi, just curious as to where Auren goes if you remove her from your party. I dropped her and picked up Valygar for the Planar Sphere quest, and I can't find where she went off to. I assumed she'd return to the Copper Coronet, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any help would be appreciated.
Where does she go if you remover her?

I removed her after checking her voice pack and stats, and she didn't sound terribly happy about it. Perhaps she leaves for good.
Posted 06 March 2012 - 03:23 PM
So, is she really gone? I just wanted to check her out and maybe pick her up later when I have some boots of speed.
Posted 07 March 2012 - 01:55 PM
Yeah, she disappears forever. That was a design flaw on my part when I made the mod (which was a long time ago and it was my first mod ever). Been meaning to do some kind of patch or update for it but have yet to get around to it.

It is a bit brutal, but you can create with ShadowKeeper or Clua an Imprison scroll and apply it on her while she is in the party. She will stay imprisoned for as long as you want to play without her.
When you do want her back you cast a Freedom scroll in the area where you imprisoned her and she will appear with a blue circle. You talk with her and she then starts the "Is this it, shall we go separate ways?" question, which you reply that you want her in the party and you have her back.

I don't know if that brakes anything in the bigger picture if it interrupts storylines or anything like that. I did not play her. I just picked her up tested to kick her out again to pick her up later again and imprisoned, freed and imprisoned her again.

I removed the command EscapeArea() from K#AURENP.DLG and K#AUR25P.DLG. It can be done with NI or DLTCEP or even better with WeiDU (by either editing the original script or by making a patch mod if she is already installed). If you do so, she just stays wherever you dismiss her, and you can recruit her back by simply talking to her.
Posted 03 January 2014 - 10:34 AM
I let her go without realizing that she vanishes from the game. However, in Throne of Bhaal, she is one of the npcs that you can have summoned to rejoin your group. I will state that she loses her levels (back to level 10 or 11) so you'll have to use the cheat console to level her back up if she was higher than that. You are given the option to either summon her with or without her romance with Nalia so its just her levels you'll have to replace.
