Even after discussing it for some time with them, I still did not really know anything about the festival - other than that I needed to go. So the next morning I crammed myself into the economy car with the rest of the travelers and made the 18 hour drive to attend the event.
Words could not do justice to the kind of peace and renewal that I experienced at the festival that weekend - and it was greatly needed at the time! - but I attempted to document it nonetheless. I wrote a stream-of-consciousness poem listing all of the marvelous things I had seen that weekend; and at the end of the poem I wrote, "Lord, the things I've seen. Lord, lord, the things I've seen."
After sifting through my old poetry and pulling the pieces that I thought I might set to music for Heliotropism, I knew that this poem would make the cut and end up on the album - somehow.
In the end, there were only two elements of the poem that remained: the list format and the line "Lord, the things I've seen!" But rather than a list of things I'd seen at PAPA Fest, the poem became a list of all I'd seen in my many travels and especially in my various experiences with the Occupy movement.
Members of Occupy Raleigh joined me at the recording studio to sing gang vocals. They are also the ones mentioned in the song whose hearts were pried opened while telling fireside stories.
Anthony Knuppel joined me on the piano.
Rocky and smoky and snow-capped mountains
And desert as far as my eyes could see,
I've seen men without homes living in houses
While those with most riches make their home on the street.
I've seen tall redwood forests and Japanese gardens
And thumbed my way across the nation.
I've played songs of protest on the road to Brooklyn
As friends were arrested for revolution.
Lord, the things I've seen.
I've seen endless rows of wheat and cotton,
I've slept on a stiff field of corn.
I've seen families desperate to slave these same fields
Just to live in the place I was born.
I've seen monkeys and sharks and rhinoceros beetles,
Diners and brothels in Thailand.
I've heard heart-breaking fireside stories
As occupied hearts were pried open.
Lord, the things I've seen.
Lord, lord, the things I've seen.
I've plumbed the depths and I've scraped the skies,
Hiked over mountain and canyon and stream,
I've traveled the earth with open eyes,
By the seat of my pants and the limits of dreams.
I've seen seven countries and twenty two states,
I've surfed both the west and the east
I've seen many a subsistence garden
And a farm whose main crop was peace.
I've seen Bangkok slums and Tijuana beaches
And explosions at the Eiffel Tower.
I awoke before dawn at a park in Manhattan
To show police who has the real power.
Lord, the things I've seen.
Lord, lord, the things I've seen.
I've skied and snorkeled and walked on water
Paralyzed by the cold.
And I've walked among a people more frozen still,
Apathetic and under control.
But I've also seen a rare breed of wild geese,
And a treehouse hostel on fire -
Singing and dancing and occupying,
Subverting and resisting empire.
Lord, the things I've seen.
Lord, lord, the things I've seen.
I've plumbed the depths and I've scraped the skies,
Hiked over mountain and canyon and stream,
I've traveled the earth with open eyes,
By the seat of my pants and the limits of dreams.
Today #S17 marks the anniversary of Occupy Wall Street - exactly one year since we set up camp in Zuccotti Park in the financial district of NYC. I'll be spending much of the day down there to celebrate and play some music.
As a gesture in solidarity with the movement and to honor this day, I am making #Heliotropism available on bandcamp for FREE from here on out. That's right. The whole album, free, for your listening pleasure.
I would only ask that you please bear in mind that I've put over 8 months of hard work into this album and there's much left to do! The suggested donation is $10 and if you can contribute even just a few bucks, I would greatly appreciate it :D I just don't want a lack of money to preclude anyone from experiencing the album.
Thus - it's all yours, enjoy!

Hello! Here's another review for Uniqso! I'm so happy with the wig I got, so make sure you read the reiew in case you want to know what's so good about it and why you should get it!
You can find the wig here.
Processing Time: 3 - 4 working days
Type: 100% heat resistant fibre
Wig Color: Orange
Wig Length: 80cmI have wanted to cosplay Asuka even before I watched the series. She's quite annoying but I love her regardless! She's such a pretty girl <3
I'm so happy with the wig I got! Unlike my previous wig I got for her, this one is sewn much better on the top and doesn't tangle as much.
The wig is not as shiny as reviews claim it to be. In fact, the wig is barely shiny at all! I really like how natural it looks.
The fibers are heat resistant and have a pretty natural color. The real color of this wig is very similar to my Honoka wig's hair color. It's a natural orange.
I believe I will have to cut at least 20cm of this wig until I can get the right style, but I will use the extra wefts to give more volume to the wig - I will post progress photos.
I was afraid this wig would come in too orange since the review photos seem like the wig was neon color, but it's actually really nice. It's also very comfortable to wear and it isn't too heavy - the fibers are sewn properly so I do not feel the weight of the wig!
Overall, this is my favorite long wig I got from Uniqso! The color is just so flattering!

350 gr Green Asparagus
2 tbsp Butter
1 Chopped onion
4 tbsp Rice (I use Arborio rice)
4 cups of Chicken Stock (I use water and a heaping tbsp of my homemade bouillon)
1 Bay leaf
2/3 cup of Milk Cream (I had sour cream so I used it)
170 gr of Chicken (cooked and cubed)
Salt & Pepper
Here are all of the ingredients, lined up and ready to go. The jar behind the sour cream is my homemade chicken bouillon. I always use it as my base for soups instead of buying broth. It's super cheap and easy to do. Find the recipe here.
In a stockpot I sauteed the onions, in a bit of butter and extra virgin olive oil, until translucent.
While I was waiting for the onions to cook, at medium-low for 3-4 minutes, I washed the asparagus and cut off about 2 inches from the bottom (discard this part as it is too woody). I then sliced off the tips and put them in a small pan, with a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, to sauté until tenter (a good 15-20 minutes on low heat).
While the asparagus and the onions were sautéing, I quickly chopped the remaining asparagus stems in small chunks. I added the asparagus, the rice, some salt and the bay leaf to the stockpot. I stirred and cooked for 2-3 more minutes.
I then added 4 cups of water and 1 heaping tbsp of chicken bouillon and brought to a boil. I lowered the heat and simmered the soup, covered, for about 30-35 minutes.
While the soup was simmering, I checked on the tips and removed them from heat when done.
I then proceeded to chop the chicken. I used thighs that I had seared the night before in some EVOO with some rosemary, salt and pepper. Tip: you can use leftover turkey as well. This is a great recycling recipe after the holidays, when the remnants of the celebratory dinner are ready and sitting in the fridge!
When the soup was ready, I removed the bay leaf. Don't forget this step or you'll have crunchy soup ;)
I then used my immersion blender to get the soup to a creamy consistency.
I added the sour cream (milk cream, heavy cream or half & half all work equally great) and incorporated it well.
I returned the soup to low heat and added the asparagus tips...
...and the chicken chunks...
...I gently stirred all ingredients together and adjusted with salt and pepper.
I then served it in pre-heated soup plates and used some asparagus tips and chicken cubes as a garnish.
This is a super delicious soup that lasts well for a few days in the fridge. I hope you enjoy!

Helped lead Glastonbury to one of the best three-year stretches in program history with trips to the Division I semifinals and finals in 2008 and '09. (The Tomahawks were upset in the first round this season.) Glastonbury was 53-16-4 in the past three seasons with Zlatkus a steady contributor. ... Had 20 goals and 26 assists to lead Tomahawks to a 15-6-1 record and CCC North regular season championship. ... Finished the last two seasons with 93 points (45 goals, 48 assists). ... Two-time All-Courant Fab 15 selection and two-time All-State selection. ... Combined for 149 points with his twin brother Adam, who is an All-Courant selection, the last two years.
Said Zlatkus:
"I know I maybe could've played somewhere else but doing it for the school and doing it with my teammates — playing with them after school and hanging out with them at school — was something I'll never forgot. ... We tried to keep it fun out there and not harp on the losses and I think that made a difference." ... People say 'Do you always know where your brother is on the ice?' I don't always know but I usually do. I play with him outside all the time so I usually know where he is. We always talk about what's the new cycle or the new pass. We talk so much it just becomes second-hand. ... My dad would always say 'If you don't want to be out there, you don't have to be.' If I wasn't playing well for a couple weeks when I was younger my dad would tell me to stop playing and that would always make me try harder because when you stop playing you remember just how nice it is to be out there. ... The games where I didn't score were the worst games — even if we won. I would still feel like it was my job to get the team to where it needs to be."
Said Barse:
"He's one of the those kids that you'll look back and remember as being the total package both on the ice and off the ice. He's a kid that you look back after 20 years or so of coaching and count on your hand as one of those kids that you'll always remember — that sums it up with Alex."
Up next:
Will attend Northeastern in the fall with his brother and is hoping to play club hockey. Looking to major in engineering or business.
In 10 years:
Hopes to have a good education, a nice job and be married and possibly still playing hockey with his brother.
Older brother Josh was a All-Courant first-team selection as a forward and Barse says "one of his most memorable players" during his coaching career. ... Made honor roll every semester at Glastonbury. ... Has a rink in the family backyard that has a scoreboard and boards used by the Hartford Whalers.

Stannis Baratheon is the elder of Robert Baratheon's younger brothers. He served on his brother's small council as Master of Ships and was also Lord of Dragonstone. After the death of Robert, he styled himself king of the Seven Kingdoms as Robert's heir, though he had difficulty getting support for his claim.
Appearance and Characteristics
Like his brothers, Stannis is a large man - tall, broad shouldered and sinewy. While he is not described as being particularly unattractive he is also not considered as handsome as his brother Renly or his brother Robert as he was in his youth. He has dark blue eyes. His head has only a fringe of black hair "like the shadow of a crown," and a close-cropped beard across his large jaw. His face has a tightness to it like cured leather, and he has hollow cheeks. He has thin, pale lips. See also this collection of images.
He is a serious, stubborn, unforgiving man with an inflexible sense of duty and justice. He neither dissembles nor flatters. Stannis is obsessed with slights both real and imagined and grinds his teeth regularly.[1] He is an accomplished commander, sailor, and warrior, although his personality gets in his way to being a great leader as well. While he is respected and feared he has never been loved or had the affection of nobles or smallfolk.
Stannis has a cold relationship with his wife, Lady Selyse of House Florent, and they have one daughter, Shireen, a sad little girl bearing a disfigurement from an ailment. Davos Seaworth is one of Stannis's most loyal servants.
Stannis was born the second son to Steffon Baratheon and Cassana Estermont, the younger brother of the Robert Baratheon and older brother of Renly Baratheon. His parents died when he was thirteen. He lost his faith in the Seven on that day, vowing that gods that were so cruel that they took his father and mother would never have his worship.[2] Even in his youth he was said to be a serious, dour and humorless boy.
Stannis's stubbornness and determination are legendary and served him well during Robert's Rebellion, when he successfully held the castle of Storm's End against Mace Tyrell's siege[3], lasting the majority of the war, unintentionally ensuring one of the largest loyalist forces didnt take the field against the rebels. His garrison held under desperate conditions, only avoiding starvation by the timely intervention of a smuggler, Davos Seaworth. His cargo of onions allowed them to hold the fortress. After the siege was lifted by Lord Eddard Stark, Stannis took Davos Seaworth into his service, dubbing him "The Onion Knight." True to Stannis' inflexible sense of justice, he also punished Seaworth for his crimes as a smuggler by removing the first joint from each finger of Seaworth's left hand, as payment for his past crimes. Seaworth accepted the punishment provided Stannis carry it out himself.
King Robert charged Stannis with leading a fleet to seize Dragonstone, which was still loyal to the Targaryens at that point. After completing the mission, Stannis was displeased to discover that King Robert had named him Lord of Dragonstone, instead of the wealthier Storm's End, which was given to their younger brother Renly, who hadn't done anything of true note during the war. However, Robert needed a strong ruler to control what had been a holdout of the Mad King's loyalists, and Stannis was much more suited for this role than Renly was. [4] It had the added advantage of taking prickly Stannis away from the mainland of Westeros. True to his nature, Stannis was an effective and efficient administrator for Dragonstone.
Stannis was appointed to the small council as well, as the Master of Ships.[3] During the Greyjoy Rebellion, Stannis commanded the royal fleet and trapped and destroyed much of the Iron Fleet. Afterwards, he subdued Great Wyk in his brother's name.[5] While he was at court, Stannis left Ser Axell Florent as castellan of Dragonstone.
During his wedding to Lady Selyse Florent, King Robert deflowered Delena Florent on Stannis's wedding bed. This coupling led to the birth of Edric Storm, the only acknowledged bastard of the king. Stannis insisted that he was a blight upon the honor of his wife's House and promptly shipped him off to his other uncle, Lord Renly, at Storm's End.[6]
Despite Stannis's loyalty and service to his brother Robert, Robert gave Stannis little in return; instead of thanking him for holding Storm's End against the Tyrells he thanked Eddard Stark for lifting the siege instead. Instead of thanking Stannis for capturing Dragonstone for him, Robert blamed Stannis for the escape of Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen (even though they fled long before Stannis's newly built fleet had even arrived). [1] According to Cersei Lannister Robert even meant Stannis receiving Dragonstone as a slight. [7] Stannis helped Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, in ruling the kingdom but got little or no acknowledgement or thanks from his elder brother who spent all his time, hunting, drinking and whoring. Stannis never complained publicly since service without expectation of reward was required of him in his positions.
Just prior to the events of A Game of Thrones, Stannis suspected that the children of Queen Cersei Lannister were not actually Robert's. He confided his suspicions to Lord Arryn, and they investigated the matter together. Stannis did not bring his suspicions to Robert, as he knew Robert would not believe the charges coming from him (Robert had no love for his brother Stannis, and Stannis would be seen as making himself heir), but would listen if the charges came from Jon Arryn whom Robert loved. They visited several of Robert's baseborn children in the city and Stannis pointed out that all had black hair and they looked like Robert, while Lord Jon consulted the book The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms of past marriages of Noble Houses and discovered the same was true: whenever a Baratheon wed, their sons and daughters would have black hair, even if the other parent was a golden-haired Lannister.
After determining that the children were in fact not Robert's, Lord Jon meant to act and even planned for his son Robert Arryn to be fostered with Stannis on Dragonstone. However, Lord Arryn was poisoned before he could bring the evidence before Robert.
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
After the murder of Jon Arryn, Stannis fled to Dragonstone to plot and gather forces. Eddard Stark wonders why Stannis left, believing it is due to the discovery of whatever secret Jon Arryn was killed for, not realizing that Stannis was slighted by Robert's selection of Eddard as his Hand. Stannis leaves for Dragonstone to gather his strength and plan his next move.[8] During Eddard Stark's investigation of Jon's death, Eddard discovered that Stannis and Jon had spent a great deal of time together. When he is told Stannis and Jon visited a brothel, when Stannis is normally so righteous to the point of prudish, he gets closer to the truth.[3]
A Clash of Kings
On Dragonstone, Stannis gathered what strength he could from the lords of the Narrow Sea, but even with Myrish and Lyseni sellswords, his forces were too few to challenge the Lannisters or Renly. During this time, Queen Selyse fell under the influence of the priestess of the Lord of Light, named Melisandre. Stannis's maester, Cressen, suggests he should treat with Robb Stark or Lysa Arryn, but Selyse says he should not treat for what is his by right, she says the comet is a sign that Stannis must sail and the banners of the Reach and the stormlands will flock to him, Stannis is not convinced. Selyse then tells him to embrace the Lord of Light. She says Melisandre has looked into the flames and seen Renly dead.[1]
Stannis renounced the Faith of the Seven and embraced the Lord of Light faith, seeking only the power that Melisandre promised would follow. Melisandre proclaimed Stannis to be Azor Ahai reborn, a messianic figure in the R'hllor faith. His switch to the faith of R'hllor divided Stannis's own men into two factions: King's Men who still followed the Faith of the Seven and Queen's Men who worshiped R'hllor. [2]
Stannis began preparing to war, when Robert died, Stannis claimed the Iron Throne as Robert's heir; however most of the Baratheon bannermen followed his more charismatic brother when Renly also claimed the throne.[2] As a first step he had hundreds of letters sent to lords throughout Westeros proclaiming himself king and claiming (correctly) that Cersei's children were not Robert's children. [2]
Rather than a direct assault on King's Landing, Stannis first led his forces to besiege Storm's End, hoping to convince his younger brother to join forces with him. He offered Renly to be his Heir and a place at the King's council. Renly made light of it and the brothers had an inconclusive parley that failed to reconcile them. They agreed that their forces will meet at dawn. That night, Melisandre used her magic to birth a animated shadow, which assassinated Renly in his tent at first light. The majority of Renly's followers immediate swore allegiance to Stannis.
One of Renly's sworn swords who refused to follow Stannis was Ser Cortnay Penrose, castellan of Storm's End. Ser Cortnay refused to surrender the castle, fearing what Stannis would do to the bastard Edric Storm within. He challenged Stannis to a duel, which the king refused. Ser Davos rowed Melisandre beneath the fortress, and the priestess assassinated Penrose as she did Renly. With Storm's End under his control, Stannis launched an amphibious assault on King's Landing. Braving wildfire, a river-spanning chain, and other defenses, Stannis' forces were defeated at the cusp of victory when Lannister and Tyrell reinforcements unexpectedly arrived, seemingly led by Renly's ghost (it was in fact Garlan Tyrell wearing the deceased Renly's armour).
A Storm of Swords
Stannis returned to Dragonstone, his host broken.[9] He had his Hand of the King, Lord Alester Florent, imprisoned when the man attempted to make peace with the Lannisters by offering them Stannis's daughter Shireen Baratheon as a hostage.[10]
When Ser Davos Seaworth returned to Dragonstone, Stannis has him brought before him to hear Axell Florent's plan to assault Claw Isle and put the island to the sword in retaliation for Lord Ardrian Celtigar's submission to King Joffrey. Davos calls the plan evil, stating that the smallfolk of Claw Isle were not traitors. Stannis agreed and named Davos Seaworth his new Hand of the King since Davos was one of the few men who had the courage to tell his king the truth, even when he knew the truth would not be well-received.[11]
Melisandre urged him to sacrifice Edric Storm to complete a spell that she claimed would raise dragons from stone and grant him more power. Stannis, though initially reluctant, [11] was about to follow through with the ritual when Ser Davos smuggled the boy away and urged Stannis to take his remaining forces north to defend the Wall.[12]
Stannis agreed, and arrived at the Wall just in time to crush Mance Rayder's wildling army at the Battle of Castle Black.[13] He stayed at King's Tower at Castle Black to negotiate a settlement compromise with the wildlings and offered to legitimize Jon Snow as Lord of Winterfell if he would support Stannis's rule.[14] The offer fell through when Jon was selected as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.[15] Stannis continues to seek support in The North for another attempt at the throne.
A Feast for Crows
Stannis sends flocks of ravens from the Wall to all Northern houses asking them to declare for him, he received silence or refusals from the lords, with only the Karstarks, led by its castellan Arnolf Karstark, has declared for him.[16][17]
A Dance with Dragons
Stannis sends Davos Seaworth to White Harbour to treat with Lord Wyman Manderly on his behalf.[18] Stannis receives many rejections from his demands of fealty from the Northern lords, although he does win the support of a portion of House Umber led by Mors Umber. Stannis has the King-Beyond-the-Wall, Mance Rayder (actually unknown to Stannis, a glamoured Rattleshirt)[19] burned for the crime of being a deserter of the Watch,[20] he then offers the remaining Free Folk a choice; bend the knee or go back to the wild. Given the severe threat posed by the Others in the wild, nine of every ten bend the knee.[21]
Stannis was counseled by Arnolf Karstark via raven messages to join his strength to his and attack the Dreadfort, seat of the new Warden of the North, Lord Roose Bolton. Stannis agreed and planned to make his assault when Ramsay Bolton marched south to take Moat Cailin (unknown to Stannis was that Arnolf Karstark was working for House Bolton and was trying to lure Stannis into a trap). Jon Snow however, upon hearing the plan persuaded Stannis not to go down this course, as Jon knew how strong the Dreadfort is even with a small garrison [22].
Instead Stannis went west to take Deepwood Motte from the Ironborn that held it. Jon Snow advised him to go through the mountains and win the support of the mountain clans (including Flint, Wull, Norrey and Liddle) who were deeply loyal to the memory of Eddard Stark and would take pride in receiving a King; Stannis won over several of their chiefs, such as Old Torghen Flint and Hugo "Big Bucket" Wull. With an additional three thousand men in his army, Stannis then retook Deepwood Motte.[23] Stannis took several ironborn captive, including Asha Greyjoy, and returned Deepwood Motte to House Glover, an act that gained him popular support in the North and earned him the support of House Glover and House Mormont. His army marched on Winterfell eventually joining up with the forces of Arnolf Karstark and Mors Umber but was slowed by relentless snowstorms.[24][25]
Meanwhile Jon Snow learning of Arnolf Karstarks planned treachery from Arnolf's niece Alys sent a message to Stannis trying to warn him.
In the Siege of Winterfell he was allegedly killed along with most of his army as tauntingly reported to Jon Snow via a letter written by Ramsay Bolton.[26] His last known location is in a snowed in village 3 days west of Winterfell.[27][28][29] It was unknown, however, if Stannis is really dead, or if it was just a lie written by Ramsay.
According to the current High Septon (the so-called 'High Sparrow') Lord Stannis has turned from the truth of the Seven to worship a red demon, and his false faith has no place in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Winds of Winter
Though reportedly isolated and secluded, Stannis is actively (and efficiently) preparing for the looming battle against the Boltons. Stannis received the Braavosi banker Tycho Nestoris and the two signed a contract, Stannis planning on sending the banker back to the Wall so he does not get caught up in the fighting.
Stannis is made aware of Arnolf Karstark's planned treachery due to the message Jon Snow gave the banker. Stannis has Arnolf, his son Arthor and three grandsons arrested and plans to execute them, though whether their death will be quick beheadings or by fire depended on their willingness to confess. Stannis is preparing his position to battle the coming vanguard of Roose Bolton's army led by Hosteen Frey. Stannis is sending Ser Justin Massey to escort "Arya Stark" (actually unknown to Stannis, Jeyne Poole) back to the Wall to reunite the girl with her brother Jon Snow in gratitude for Snow warning him to amass the hill tribes rather than march straight into the Karstarks' plans.
Stannis also orders Massey to go with Tycho Nestoris to Braavos, where Massey will use the money given to him by the Iron Bank of Braavos to hire sellsword companies till he has a force no less than twenty thousand strong and sail back to Westeros. Stannis also gave orders that if he is slain in the coming battle, Massey is still to do as instructed, with the intention of using the army to place Shireen on the Iron Throne.
Stannis also plans to have Theon Greyjoy executed, hoping to gain favor with his northern allies by exacting justice for the murders of Bran and Rickon Stark.[30]
Quotes by Stannis
"They turned their backs on their rightful king for no better reason than dreams of power and glory, and I have marked them for what they are. Pardoned them, yes. Forgiven. But not forgotten".[31]
"I am the rightful king...and your son no less a traitor than my brother here. His day will come as well". [32]
"I stopped believing in gods the day I saw the Windproud break up across the bay. Any gods so monstrous as to drown my mother and father would never have my worship, I vowed. In King's Landing, the High Septon would prattle at me of how all justice and goodness flowed from the Seven, but all I ever saw of either was made by men.[33]
"I never asked for this crown. Gold is cold & heavy on the head but so long as I am the king, I have a duty … If I must sacrifice one child to the flames to save a million from the dark … Sacrifice … is never easy, Davos. Or it is no true sacrifice.[12]
"It is not a question of wanting. The throne is mine, as Robert's heir. That is law." [11]
"I am king. Wants do not enter into it. I have a duty to my daughter. To the realm. Even to Robert. He loved me but little, I know, yet he was my brother. The Lannister woman gave him horns and made a motley fool of him. She may have murdered him as well, as she murdered Jon Arryn and Ned Stark. For such crimes there must be justice. Starting with Cersei and her abominations. But only starting. I mean to scour that court clean. As Robert should have done after the Trident." [11]
"Robert could piss in a cup and men would call it wine, but I offer them cold clear water and they squint in suspicion and mutter to each other about how queer it tastes."[31]
"Weddings have become more perilous than battles, it would seem." [12]
"Would that all the lords of the Seven Kingdoms had but a single neck..." [34]
Quotes about Stannis
"Ned found it hard to imagine what could frighten Stannis Baratheon, who had once held Storm's End through a year of siege, surviving on rats & boot leather while the Lords Tyrell & Redwyne sat outside with their hosts, banqueting in sight of his walls."
"There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man"
"This is Stannis Baratheon. The man will fight to the bitter end and then some"
"Stannis is no friend of yours, nor of mine. Even his brothers can scarcely stomach him. The man is iron, hard and unyielding. He'll give us a new Hand and a new council, for a certainty. No doubt he'll thank you for handing him the crown, but he won't love you for it. And his ascent will mean war. Stannis cannot rest easy on the throne until Cersei and her bastards are dead. Do you think Lord Tywin will sit idly while his daughter's head is measured for a spike? Casterly Rock will rise, and not alone. Robert found it in him to pardon men who served King Aerys, so long as they did him fealty. Stannis is less forgiving. He will not have forgotten the siege of Storm's End, and the lords Tyrell and Redwyne dare not. Every man who fought beneath the dragon banner or rose with Balon Greyjoy will have good cause to fear. Seat Stannis on the Iron Throne and I promise you, the realm will bleed."

A harvester holds fresh cranberries.
(Daniel Acker/Getty Images)
With Christmas week upon us, cranberries are a festive addition to our menus. Their inherent tartness is much needed to balance the overload of sweet treats we have at our disposal right now. New Jersey is the third largest producer of cranberries in the country, which makes us very creative with them. No need for opening a can of the wiggly jellied stuff. The website, Piney Power, has a section dedicated to the Magnificent Cranberry with a slew of recipes including one for cranberry slaw that pairs cabbage, grapes and cranberries in a creamy dressing.
I like to make a cranberry vinaigrette at this time of year. Fresh cranberries pureed with mustard, oil and red wine vinegar vinegar result in a deep red dressing that looks gorgeous tossed with hearts of romaine or sturdy kale. Add a sprinkling of feta or blue cheese and a handful of toasted walnuts for a great seasonal salad.
Take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and fire up the grill today. Brush some cranberry barbecue sauce on the meat of your choice. It's great on tofu and grilled vegetables, too.
There is a great satisfaction in watching this hard little fruit relax, pop, and release its flavor while cooking it. It reminds me that the holiday season is about taking time to relax, too.
At A Better World Cafe, we've made about 50 pounds of fresh cranberries into cranberry ginger chutney this holiday season. We pile it on turkey sandwiches and serve it with ricotta cheese on crostini. One of its biggest fans, Erika, confessed she was "fiending for it while she was pregnant." We made sure she got some extra this year to stash at home for emergencies. Whip up a big batch and package it in half pint jars for edible gift giving. Chutney will last up to two months refrigerated.
The adorable wooden crate of clementines you bought as an antidote for holiday sweets is probably languishing next to your dwindling supply of Christmas cookies. Put the juicy little darlings to work in petite cranberry clementine tartlets.
Brighten up breakfast on Christmas morning with a stack of cranberry orange pancakes with cranberry maple syrup. You can make the batter the night before and then pop them on a griddle in the morning.
I enjoyed pomegranate cranberry sangria at a holiday party this week. If Santa brings me the silver tequila I asked for this year, I'll be making margaritas made with cranberry jam this New Year's Eve.
Cranberries pair well with other fresh fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, pomegranate and oranges. Dried apricots and raisins play well together, too. In baked goods they work well with almonds, pistachios, chocolate and ginger. Not just a compliment for turkey, cranberries can be served with salmon, shrimp, pork and lamb.
Store fresh cranberries in the refrigerator for up to two month. Frozen they will last for one year.

Deer Hunting Forums (https://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/)
- Site Requests/Comments (https://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/site-requests-comments/)
- - Political Forum (https://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/site-requests-comments/6133-political-forum.html)
Political Forum
What is your folks take on adding a political forum.
We use to say no political discussion. Then we started allowing it since it became such a focus last election.
Now we have quite a few political threads in the campfire/lodge.
I do not want this forum to turn into a bash fest against one political party or the other, but would not mind having it seperate from hunting related topics.
Keep them seperate or leave it like it is?
I just want to say I
I just want to say I am all new to weblog and holnetsy liked you're web-site. Probably I'm going to bookmark your website . You amazingly come with amazing writings. With thanks for sharing with us your blog.
I think the campfire forum is an appropriate forum to post just about anything including politics.
The DHC is a GREAT hunting & fishing & outdoorsman/woman website.
and Personally I think we have a great member database full of folks who show great respect to one another.
The touchy part about chatting politics is basically you have 2 sides, The Democrats. and the Republicans,
Both have different views on how to handle every situation so every discussion is going to be a back and forth match
of who's politicians are doing the better jobs at suggesting the best options for the American people...
:bag: I guess the cats out of the bag on me now to the fact that I cannot stomache Barack Obama BUT
I think I have the ability and common sense to maintain a civil tone when chatting about politics.
I don't hate the man I hate what he's doing to our country, too many soldiers fought and died
for our freedoms to have him trample all over the very freedoms they fought and died for.
So either way works for me.. :thumbup:
I think a separate section would encourage more discussion and variety of topics. I'm all for it since there is so much at stake.
i think the ocational political rant or need to vent should be alowed. but i dont think a politics section, or alowing a bunch of political topics in the campfire thread is a good idea. the obama medical care thread caused such a crusifiction that it lead to a thread were everyone felt the need to talk about how much they liked the member who was crusifyed. the Pot thread almoast made me leave the forum. and the NO mosqu thread, and the new americal deam thread are likely to get me banned.
huntnh, I'm always going to accept your opinion on any topic. You're equally entitled to say whatever you want to say on any subject.
Just because some people view issues totally different than you do doesn't mean they are right or you are wrong, it's always going to be just a difference of opinion So I guess what I'm trying to say is don't ever think you'll be banned by saying what you feel, Nobody will get banned for speaking their mind as long as they maintain text of discussion and not resort to foul language or name calling those are just 2 examples of things that no member should have to tolerate in any discussion.
And for the record nobody was ever crucified in any of our discussion the one you're referring to is the back and forth between onehorse and myself, he saw things one way I saw them another it's that simple but he did end up calling me a racist and he shouldnt have., I hope he's learned from his mistake but onehorse is always going to have my utmost respect no matter what he says to me.
As far as the pot subject you live by what you believe in, I can't and wont ever try to force you or anyone else to think about pot the way that I do, it's your choice to decide how you feel about it not mine.
Just because 2 people dont agree on a given subject doesnt mean they cant hold onto and do their best to maintain their beliefs. It's ok to agree or disagree.
I hope this gives you a little more comfort about saying what you want without worrying you'll get banned.
As a former soldier I was taught to protect and defend and that includes all people even the ones I don't agree with.
:thumbup:i enjoy our discussions on different issues pot,government etc.we all have the rt to disagree.i value other peoples opinions even though i might not agree with them.we have some pretty knowledgeable people (RONN HM BRUCE etc) and i learn and value their input.its never personal and were still all hunting brothers
Just some additional points to consider.
I guess the best way to think about it is to think about the brands of weapons we use Versus the brands of weapons other hunters use, same thing goes for clothing, scents, calls, scopes, etc. etc. etc..
If we can discuss those threads can't we discuss politics too.
People always say don't talk about politics or religion BUT, when is it time to open our mouths to speak?
Should we always remain silent? How will we ever Unite to defend our rights and priviliges?
I don't know about you guys but I think it's high time we throw out the ole' "Dont speak about politics or religion" crap.
I'm sure the government uses our political silence against us and when it comes to religion, come on Christians are almost the minority now. Why,
because we werent allowed to speak up for what we believed in even though we all knew right from wrong. Other religions (especially muslims) want to end Christianity
I'm going to cut ranks here and suggest that politics should be discussed in it's own forum. Keeping the Camp fire separate is just perserving a time honored tradition, talk about anything except politics around the ole fire..
I think it is important to remember that we are all brothers, not just hunting brothers. As the Bible states we are to "love one another". It doesn't say just when it"s convenient or when the other guy annoys you! Have you driven on the road today? Did anyone annoy you? It is so discouraging to be the only one on the road that knows how to drive! lol So discussing politics is sort of like driving, you never know what the other guy is thinking so be prepared and be kind.
A political forum can be run and if we act badly shut it down. Sort of like I do with the TV when it doesn't agree with me.
Thanks, I feel a lot better.

Burger King is the Latest QSR to Serve the Plant-Based Impossible Burger/
The plant-based company Impossible Foods has partnered with yet another massive quick-serve chain.
On Monday, Impossible Foods announced that the Impossible Whopper will now be available at 59 Burger King stores in the surrounding area of St. Louis, Missouri.
Since the announcement was made on April Fools, the "burger giant released a hidden-camera-style promo video showing the serving of plant-based Whoppers instead of meat to customers who marvel that they cannot tell the difference," writes "Reuters."
Burger King decided to partner with the plant-based company because the Impossible Burger not only mimics the looks of a traditional beef burger but it is similar in taste.
"We've done sort of a blind taste test with our franchisees, with people in the office, with my partners on the executive team, and virtually nobody can tell the difference," said Christopher Finazzo, Burger King's North America president.
The Impossible Whopper is priced about $1 more than the traditional Whopper.
As we said, Burger King isn't the only fast food burger chain jumping on the plant-based bandwagon by partnering with Impossible Foods.
In April of last year, White Castle started serving the Impossible Slider. After the success of the menu item at 140 test stores, the chain announced that the Impossible Slider would be available nationwide.
Burger King is the first big chain to serve the Impossible Burger with the company's new recipe. Earlier in the year, Impossible Foods change the recipe so that it is gluten-free. The company decided to switch out the wheat protein for a soy protein concentrate. The new patty also has no animal hormones or antibiotics either, along with less salt.
Learn more about the Impossible Whopper at "Reuters" now.
Veggie-burger companies have been battling it out to capture more of the market share. Impossible Foods' rival Beyond Meat has been more focused on retail, but in January Beyond Meat announced that it would be rolling out its plant-based Beyond Burger at the QSR Carl's Jr.
Beyond Meat, which recently went public, has more of an expansive product line, which includes "chicken" strips, "beef" crumble, and "sausage"– all made out of plants, non-GMO soy, and pea protein.
We recently sat down with Ethan Brown, the CEO of Beyond Meat to discuss why plant-based foods have become so popular. Listen to the episode of The Barron Report below to see what Brown thinks the future holds for the plant-based market and to learn more about Beyond Meat's role in the movement.

Andre Villas-Boas is confident
Roman Abramovich remains fully behind his Chelsea project as he seeks to prevent the clubâs slump becoming a full-blown crisis.
Blues boss Villas-Boas has spoken with the billionaire owner amid what has been the most turbulent ten days of his short time in charge.
The fall-out from the John Terry racism allegations and a raft of other disciplinary issues have been compounded by a nosedive in results.
One win in the last four games has left Chelsea nine points behind leaders Manchester City in the Premier League and not certain to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages.
However, despite the downturn, it would appear Abramovich is satisfied with the overall progress being made by the Portuguese coach, and his attempts to produce the attacking brand of football the Russian desires.
âAt the moment, he is good,â said Villas-Boas. âWe will defend this philosophy to the death, but what is expected from us as a top club is to win titles.â
âThe results we have been getting, doesnât hurt our confidence. Thereâs a good spirit in the group.
âThereâs a negative momentum we are passing by. We want wins as soon as possible. But weâre not questioning our quality or our talent.â
Meanwhile, Michael Essien is set to return from knee ligament at the end of December, a month ahead of schedule.

Mondeo Made Easy – Safety Systems
January 15, 2015
Ford's straight-talking guide to its new flagship car
Today we're talking about the tech that prevents accidents happening, and protects when they are unavoidable
OK, I'd rather avoid an accident altogether, how does Mondeo help do that?
To start with, Mondeo's Pre-Collision Assist technology can spot obstacles ahead, warn the driver, and apply the brakes if the driver doesn't respond
So I can avoid bumps with cars ahead?
Not just cars. Mondeo can spot people, too, and figure out if they're likely to wander into the road
It knows if the car is drifting out of lane, and can steer it back on course
But what if an accident cannot be avoided?
Well, you'll be better protected than ever
How so?
The body is made of 61 per cent high strength steel. And if you are in a situation where emergency help is required there's a system that can help you contact the local emergency services. It also offers our Inflatable Rear Seatbelt
Did you just say inflatable?
It's a new kind of seatbelt with an inflatable chest strap that deploys to cover an area five times greater than a conventional seatbelt – and faster than the blink of an eye
Sounds like a safe place to be
Don't just take our word for it. Independent crash test authority Euro NCAP awarded the Mondeo a maximum five-star rating.

Congratulations are in order for YouTube vloggers Tanya Burr and Jim Chapman who have just married. The happy couple and their famous friends were able to keep details of the nuptials under wraps much to the surprise of their millions of subscribers.
Burr, 26, and Chapman, 28, tied the knot at Babington House, Somerset on 3 September but only announced the joyful news a few days later. Alongside a black and white photo of the couple sharing a kiss moments after saying their vows, beauty blogger Burr tweeted: "We did it... So in love," while Chapman added: "I have a wife!"
YouTube vloggers in attendance at the countryside ceremony included Zoella, real name Zoe Sugg and her boyfriend Alfie Deyes aka Pointless Blog, and vlogging couple Marcus Butler and Niomi Smart. Wishing the couple an online congratulations, Zoella tweeted: "Congratulations to my friends@tanyaburr & @jimalfredchapman on their beautiful wedding. Thank you so much for having me I had the best time and I love you both so much! This is me & @niomismart before the wedding, we unintentionally matched x#JimandTanyaGetMarried."
In a new YouTube vlog titled: "We Did It", posted on 6 September, Chapman reveals details of their wedding for the first time, telling his 2.3m subscribers: "It was honestly the most magical day ever. But now I am a husband and I just want to be a husband for a while. We're going on a honeymoon next week and I want to just hang out with my wife and not film anything so I'm going to have a little while off the channel."
Joking about his new wife's interesting choice of films, Chapman then quipped: "The reason I'm filming this right now is because she's downstairs watching High School Musical 3 and I thought I'll either divorce her or film this video." Explaining how he feels in his new life as a husband, the vlogger revealed: "Honestly, I feel absolutely incredible. I didn't think anything would change, I thought 'Okay, I've got a ring now, everything carries on as usual'. But actually I did feel really special."
The couple met and began dating in 2007 before their online fame and Chapman proposed to the vlogger and aspiring actress in 2012 during a trip to New York. He shared the moment just before and after he popped the question in a YouTube video.

Dr. Amiya Prasad – Super Specialist in Eye Lift Surgery
As a leading specialist in practice for 20 years, Dr. Prasad represents a new paradigm in Cosmetic Surgery of the eyes and face. His background includes certification in Ophthalmology, Oculofacial Plastic Surgery, and Facial Cosmetic Surgery. A Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery in Facial Cosmetic Surgery, his training and certification far exceeds the board certification requirements of Plastic Surgery in his area of expertise.
"We're not about selling procedures. We're about developing relationships and developing a plan that ultimately allows our clients to reach their goals. They are not only just clients for a procedure, but they're also clients for life — for many things beyond just procedures." – Dr. Amiya Prasad
Dr. Prasad believes that individuals who are well-adjusted and comfortable with themselves have very specific cosmetic goals in mind. In order to achieve these goals, Dr. Prasad encourages a personalized approach to each patient in order to establish a relationship of trust that goes beyond the medical aspect. Dr. Prasad treats his clients with a realistic attitude about their own youthful preservation. He believes that it is very important to be able to restore and rejuvenate a patient's image in such a way that they will still retain the unique character of their face and still look like themselves after a procedure.
Although eyelid surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, the results can be variable and unnatural in quality unless the procedures are performed well. Just think about celebrities who have had "bad plastic surgery" and you can appreciate that eyelid surgery is more complex than it appears. Dr. Prasad believes that eye lift surgery should never drastically change your face. If people compliment you on your surgery, you've probably had too much surgery. Your goal should be a natural-looking enhancement of your features rather than a whole new face, and it is Dr. Prasad's goal to provide you with the options you need to obtain the youthful appearance you want.
Helping patients look as young as they feel for over 20 years while balancing the latest non-invasive techniques with state-of-the-art laser and micro-surgical techniques allows Dr. Prasad's patients to enjoy a natural appearance with minimal downtime. He is devoted to providing each and every one of his patients the individualized care he or she deserves. Please take the time to learn more about Dr. Prasad and his practice.

I have forgotten the power cord for my laptop, and need to go home to get it. As I don't think it would be very productive to go home now, I am going to put the computer to sleep and spend the rest of the morning reading some things I have been saving up, and then get it at lunch time.
Human beings are in many ways habit machines. We form patterns of behaviour and much of the time our actions run in thier well-worn grooves. This is true for simple things like packing a briefcase in the morning, but also for thinking and social behaviour. In my trading, I need to form good habits and eliminate bad ones (and my earlier post today represents some work in that direction). The danger is that after a while, you can't see some of your habits because you are so used to them; this is a particular danger for me because I am working alone, with nobody to see them for me (it seems to me that, for many people, even if they had someone else to point out bad habits, they would not understand the importance of habit in determining their actions — people think they are free agents and dislike being told otherwise).
In the field of social behaviour, I think one should remember that liberal types are on to something with their almost religious obsession with personal conscience (which leads to political correctness, social pressure to recycle, etc.). Hard-headed analysis is the way to work out how to make the world a better place; but that is no guarantee that one will want to make it a better place, especially after a lifetime of hard-headed analysis. One has to pay some attention to building the habits that will lead to positive actions (i.e. virtues). That is why I do Street Rescue once a month, and so on.

When the Face of Homelessness is a Baby's Face
By Kendra Hurley
When we talk about homelessness, the conversation typically—and understandably—focuses on families' most pressing needs: affordable housing; jobs that pay a living wage; and subsidized child care so that parents can work and families can find a way out of the shelters and into permanent homes.
To talk about anything else is, to some extent, talking about a Band-Aid solution to a deep social and economic problem. The reality, however, is that homeless families today spend an average of more than 400 days living in New York City shelters. For children, especially young children, that's a developmental lifetime. For the sake of these kids, we need to strengthen that Band-Aid; we need to improve the services for fragile families.
The Center for New York City Affairs' 2015 report In Need of Shelter showed why. We found that while children 5 years old and younger make up about one-third of all kids in the five boroughs, and about one-third of the city's children living in poverty, they make up nearly half of all the children in shelters. In fact, in recent years, nearly 2,000 babies have been born to mothers living in City shelters each year.
Decades of research underscore how critical these early years are for healthy lifelong development. The trauma and chronic stress that too often go hand-in-hand with poverty, homelessness, and shelter living can derail young lives. Thankfully, research has also demonstrated that targeted interventions that work with parents and children together can help parents protect young children from this impact.
Historically, children 3 and under have received very little programming in shelters. In our 2015 report we found the most common way for a homeless family to receive help for, say, maternal post-partum depression is to be reported to child protective services on suspicions of abuse or neglect. The result is a support that goes hand-in-hand with stigma and fear.
In recent months, however, a handful of new programs that aim to strengthen parent and child bonds and promote healthy development of very young children—and that don't require participants to be child welfare-involved—have sprung up in City shelters. The Department of Health's Newborn Home Visiting Program, for instance, has begun home visits to babies born to mothers living in shelters. As these visits increase, the program also hopes to screen these new mothers for post-partum depression. And last fall, with funding from the City Council, the social service organization CAMBA embedded SafeCare, a practical parenting skills training program, in a Central Brooklyn shelter. CAMBA staff hopes to create a culture of positive parenting there, then expand to other shelters.
Before last fall, families could only access SafeCare through CAMBA's foster care prevention program. Making programs like this available to all families in shelters is important, because homeless parents have real reason to fear that child welfare workers will remove their children from them. A 2002 study found that of New York City families receiving public assistance, 8% of non-homeless mothers were separated from one or more children. But an alarming 44% of mothers who experienced homelessness during the previous five years were separated from one or more children.
It's important to note that a number of the separations happened after the family had left a shelter, because family members themselves decided that living apart would be best. Researchers have speculated that something about shelter life—the crowding, lack of privacy, and restrictive rules that can undermine a parent's authority—weakened familial bonds.
Targeted interventions like those starting to take place in shelters demonstrate the City's attempts to address the toll that homelessness and shelter living can take on young kids. Family homelessness often opens gaping psychic and emotional wounds, and it's easy to dismiss the value of these fledgling efforts as mere Band-Aids for those wounds. There's truth to that. But by targeting the youngest, they also have the potential to do something game-changing: To use time spent in shelters as a chance to provide families with young children a support that could have ripple effects for a lifetime.
For New York City, we hope these steps signify the beginning of an important reckoning, one that should guide all decisions when it comes to the City's shelters: A recognition that all too frequently the face of homelessness is, in fact, a baby's face.
Kendra Hurley is a senior editor at the Center for New York City Affairs. She is the principal author of the Center's report "In Need of Shelter." This posting is a reworking of a presentation she made at the Institute for Children, Poverty, and Homelessness's "Beyond Housing" conference in January.

This weekend was a lot of fun for me. I went out with one of my friends from FAU. I hadn't seen her in a long time and it was fun hanging with her again.
Also, I got to try a lot of new foods/drinks. I don't eat a lot of things, but I am willing to try almost any food once to see if I will like it. It just so happens that I got to try quite a bit of new foods/drinks and some old favourites prepared by a new source.
I had a Manicotti Formaggio which is a pasta filled with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan cheese. Yummy. Ricotta is fast becoming my favourite kind of cheese.
I also got a Pumpkin Cheesecake from the same place. It was absolutely divine and I really enjoyed it. I had assumed originally that the flavour of the cheesecake and the pumpkin would not blend well. But was I ever wrong.
Later that day I had two drinks that I never tried before. The first was an Appletini which was delivered in a very girly cup, much to my displeasure *grin*. It was okay but not as sour as I wanted it to be (the menu said it was made with vodka and sour apples).
Anyway, the next drink I tried was a Blue Hawaiian which I didn't really care for. It is made coconut milk something and pineapple something with vodka. The flavours did not blend to my liking.
Also, the old favourite which I haven't had since I left Jamaica was the shrimp stir fry. It was absolutely good. I usually do not like shrimp unless it is fried. Seafood, unless fried, always gives me the weird feeling of still being raw *shrugs*. But they seasoned and prepared the meal really well. I even used the chopsticks which was exciting for me.
So for me the weekend was filled with friends, food, fun...Now how was your weekend?
Have a good Veteran's Day!

I realized that I've never posted anything about being safe when you run. I found a list on the RRCA website and thought I'd share it with you. Much of what is on their list (follow that link) is what I do. This can go for any outdoor activity - walking, biking, skating... Anything! I think we all just need to be reminded to take the time to protect ourselves.
Things that I do...
When I run, I need music. I wear either one ear bud or keep my music on low so that I can still hear what is going on around me (traffic, footsteps, voices, etc.).
I watch my surroundings.
I always tell someone when I'm going out and when I'm expected to be back; generally I let them know my route too.
I wear at least one brightly colored piece of clothing (usually it's my top), even when it's bright out. I prefer to be seen from a distance away, so I like color! Plus color is a fun addition to any run.
I carry my cell phone in my hand so it is easily accessible.
I pay attention to others but do not engage in contact with them. I may smile or nod at another athlete but that's it. If someone looks shady or creeps me out (intuition, not judgement), I go out of my way to avoid them if possible. If I can't avoid them, I take that as an opportunity to sprint away!
I run against traffic and obey traffic laws. When a car is present, I do not go unless the driver waves me on.
I'm courteous of other runners. I make sure I don't cut them off, pass carefully - even in races because that's just good running etiquette!
My latest addition? Pepper spray. There are companies that make it for people who do things like walk, run, or bike. It fits right onto your hand so you have it near and ready to use.
What I'm doing next to further my safety... Self-defense. I've learned some skills from Turbofire but I think a self-defense class is a good idea. I also remember two techniques from a class in college that will surely drop a man to the ground.
I've had safety on my mind and thought that since the weather is getting nicer for many of us, it would be a good time to remind you to be safe!!

When you create a SIP enabled account in A2Billing then by default it will be setup to use username/secret authentication. If you want to use IP authentication (where the A2Billing customer uses a fixed IP address to authenticate to you instead) then there are a few settings to change on the SIP account.
This guide was done using A2Billing v1.9.4 and the SIP accounts are created under the "CUSTOMERS/VoIP Settings" menu. Previous versions had a different menu name, but the general idea is the same.
After creating the SIP account check the following –
Change HOST to the IP address of the customer –
Change TYPE to 'peer' –
Set USERNAME to be blank –
Set SECRET to be blank –
Another tip if it doesn't work …
Make sure in the VOIP account settings for the customer you also have –
What does the customer need to put into their FreePBX installation?
At a minimum you would need a SIP trunk with –
Would this work if Asterisk is running with Realtime?
Yes, it should work find using Realtime, it's what I do.
Hi Matt, I have tested IP auth while using real-time, but it doesn't work (same settings as mentioned). I changed A2Billing Realtime to "NO". It works when Real-time=no (requires the additional_a2billing_sip.conf file to be present with the IP.
Please comment. if I could've done something wrong, for it not to work. Realtime was working fine with SIP registrations on the same server. (I didn't setup a trunk for the customer in FreePBX, could that be the issue?, because wouldn't that be the same as non-realtime, if I have the ip in a conf file)
Kind Regards
Hi Najib
Did you set PORT=5060? It's not too clear from the post this needs doing.
Cheers, Matt
hi guys, you forget config the parameter:
insecure = port,invite
you need that in realtime if you want to autenticate by IP.
