What exactly does the acronym 'APC' signify? Why is the existence of APC within your account important as far as your PHP-based web sites are involved? How to activate this option?
APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which should be shown is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All these actions take some processing time and include reading and writing on the server for each page that is accessed. While this can't be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there're various Internet sites that have the same content on many of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etcetera. APC is quite useful for such websites as it caches the previously compiled code and displays it when visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only lower the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any website a few times.
You will be able to use APC for your web applications with any of the shared website hosting packages that we provide because it's pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Turning it on will take only a mouse click in the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our shared plans and a couple of minutes later it'll start caching the program code of your applications. Our platform is quite flexible, so you will be able to use several configurations in accordance with the system requirements of your scripts. For instance, you will be able to activate APC for several versions of PHP for the whole account and pick the version that each website can use, or you could have the very same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC only for specified websites. You can do this by putting a php.ini file with a line of program code inside the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized configuration.
You will be able to use APC for every script application which runs on your new semi-dedicated hosting since the module is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be created. Activating or deactivating APC for the account takes one click from the Hepsia Control Panel, but if necessary, you could use the module only for specific sites. This is possible due to the flexibility of our cloud platform - different releases of PHP run on it simultaneously, so with a php.ini file placed in a website folder, you can select what release will be used for this particular Internet site and whether APC should be enabled or disabled. Employing such a file allows you to use settings that are different from the standard ones for your account, so you can take full advantage of APC for some scripts where the module makes a difference and not for others where you can use another type of web accelerator.

Jean-Marthe-Adrien Lhermitte ou L'Hermitte, dit le Brave, né le  à Coutances et mort le  à Plessis-Picquet près de Paris) est un contre-amiral français.

Formation
Fils d'un conseiller du roi aux bailliage et présidial de Cotentin, à l'âge de quatorze ans, il débuta dans la carrière maritime, comme novice à bord du Pilote-des-Indes, cotre garde-côte en croisière dans la Manche. Il participa alors à son premier abordage contre un corsaire britannique embusqué dans les îles Chausey. Embarqué fin 1780 comme volontaire sur le vaisseau Northumberland, il participa à la campagne de Grasse, à la bataille de la Chesapeake et à la prise de l'île Saint-Christophe.

Il fut ensuite embarqué sur la frégate La Médée rapportant les dépêches de Grasse en France; de ce fait il ne fut pas présent à la bataille des Saintes qui termina la campagne. Il fit la dernière année de guerre en tant qu'officier auxiliaire sur le lougre L'Oiseau puis la flûte La Pintade.

N'étant qu'officier bleu, il fut démobilisé à la fin de la guerre et s'enrôla dans la marine de commerce et fit, en qualité de lieutenant puis de second, plusieurs campagnes de pêche à Terre-Neuve sur des navires de Granville, la Modeste et la Surveillante.

En 1787, il profita de la réforme du ministère faite par Castries et réintégra la marine royale comme sous-lieutenant de vaisseau. Il navigua notamment sur le vaisseau L'Achille, puis sur différents petits bâtiments de guerre escortant la flotte marchande de Granville.

La Révolution

Campagnes en Manche et en Atlantique
Second sur la frégate Résolue dès le début de la guerre contre la Grande-Bretagne en , il participe à la guerre de course en Manche et sur les côtes atlantiques. Lieutenant de vaisseau au mois d', il reçoit en octobre le commandement de la frégate  (anciennement HMS Thames) prise par la division à laquelle appartenait la Résolue. Il est d'abord chargé de tester les qualités techniques du bâtiment, première prise faite par les Français sur la Royal Navy depuis le début de la guerre, puis il effectue deux brèves croisières de course en Manche particulièrement fructueuses. Toujours au commandement de la Tamise, frégate du vaisseau amiral, il participe à la campagne de prairial an II au sein de la flotte commandée par Louis Thomas Villaret de Joyeuse, et en particulier à la grande bataille du 13 prairial an II ().

Campagne d'Irlande et de Norvège
En 1795, il commanda la frégate La Seine, et eut sous ses ordres une division qui alla croiser sur les côtes d'Irlande, et fit un nombre important de prises, en général de peu de valeur, sauf la corvette HMS Hound. Il se rendit ensuite avec deux frégates et une corvette à Christiansand et visita différents ports de Norvège, neutre comme le Danemark dont elle dépendait, dans le but d'y récupérer des prises qui s'y étaient réfugiées. Bloqué par des avaries et par le froid, il fut contraint d'y passer l'hiver 1794-1795 pendant lequel ses équipages furent décimés par la maladie ; il revint en France au printemps 1795, remorquant trois prises jusqu'à Lorient; toutefois, prise dans la tempête, sa seconde frégate, la Galathée sombra sur les rochers de Penmarc'h.

Les mers de l'Inde
En , il commanda la frégate La Vertu dans la division de l'amiral Sercey à destination de l'île de France. Il participa aux différentes campagnes et combats de la division dans l'océan Indien. Il fut sérieusement blessé lors de la rencontre avec deux vaisseaux de ligne britanniques.

En 1798, commandant la frégate La Preneuse, il appareilla avec la mission de reconduire à Mangalore les ambassadeurs que Tipoo-Saëb, sultan de Mysore, avait envoyés au gouverneur de l'île de France pour demander des secours contre les Britanniques. En passant devant Tellicherry, il vit au mouillage deux vaisseaux de la compagnie des Indes : c'était une bonne fortune, il voulut en profiter ; mais au moment où il manœuvrait pour aller les attaquer, un de ces terribles orages si fréquents dans ces mers éclata inopinément. La foudre tomba sur La Preneuse; le feu prit à bord, le commandant lui-même reçut plusieurs éclats de mâture. L'orage passé, on répara la frégate. Elle fondit ensuite sur les deux vaisseaux qui amenèrent leur pavillon dès les premières bordées.

Arrivé à la colonie hollandaise de Surabaya, Lhermitte voulut faire remettre à l'amiral Sercey les pavillons britanniques pris à Tellicherry. Cela donna lieu à une révolte à bord de La Preneuse; l'équipage voulait garder ses trophées et s'opposa à leur débarquement, en disant que, conquis par la frégate, ils étaient sa propriété et non celle de l'amiral. Lhermitte n'était pas homme à souffrir une pareille insubordination ; il tomba à coups de sabre sur les mutins, dispersa les meneurs et les fit mettre aux fers. Cinq matelots, déclarés chefs de la révolte, furent condamnés à mort par un conseil de guerre et fusillés sur le pont.

Quittant les côtes de Java, Lhermitte alla faire une croisière de trois mois dans la mer de Chine méridionale. Après cette campagne qui eut pour résultat la destruction de plus de quarante bâtiments britanniques, La Preneuse et la corvette Brûle-Gueule revinrent à l'île de France, où une division ennemie les bloqua durant trois semaines dans le fond de la baie de la Rivière Noire avant qu'elles pussent entrer au port. Lhermitte eut l'idée de débarquer ses canons de tribord inutiles et de les placer en batterie à terre jusqu'à ce que les vaisseaux anglais doivent se retirer. Ce combat est désigné sous le nom de second combat de la Rivière noire.

Lhermitte reprit la mer aussitôt que sa frégate eut reçu les réparations dont elle avait besoin. Il alla croiser dans les parages du cap de Bonne-Espérance, sur les côtes de Madagascar et dans le canal du Mozambique. Le , à la chute du jour, il aperçut dans la baie de Lagoa cinq bâtiments que la brume lui fit prendre pour des navires de commerce. Sa frégate jeta l'ancre à demi-portée de canon de leur mouillage. Il se proposait de les attaquer le lendemain matin, mais il ne tarda pas à être lui-même assailli par eux. L'engagement dura près de six heures, La Preneuse eut une quarantaine d'hommes hors de combat et Lhermitte, craignant une avarie qui l'immobiliserait dans cette zone hostile, préféra se retirer. Elle avait affaire à une flûte armée de 40 canons et un brick mais surtout à un fortin à terre doté d'une artillerie redoutable.

Dans les jours qui suivirent, La Preneuse, qui s'était rapprochée du cap de Bonne-Espérance, fit rencontre, sur le banc des Aiguilles, d'un vaisseau britannique de 54, le Jupiter, devant lequel elle prit chasse. L'ennemi la poursuivit pendant vingt-deux heures; mais sa marche étant supérieure à celle de la frégate française, ses boulets finirent enfin par l'atteindre. Réduit à se laisser amariner ou à livrer combat, Lhermitte vira de bord et attaqua le vaisseau. La canonnade fut vive de part et d'autre, le vaisseau anglais ne pouvant toutefois utiliser sa batterie basse (les canons de plus gros calibre en raison de la mer trop agitée).

Les deux bâtiments évoluèrent pour se prendre par leur faible ; le Français, plus habile, plus prompt dans ses manœuvres, parvint à envoyer en poupe à son adversaire plusieurs volées d'enfilade qui mirent le désordre à son bord. Lhermitte saisit ce moment de confusion pour tenter l'abordage; mais l'ennemi, prévenant cette intention, rompit le combat et se sauva sous toutes voiles. La frégate française essaya à son tour de donner la chasse mais le vaisseau était trop rapide et réussit à s'enfuir.

Lhermitte poursuivit sa campagne jusqu'à la date prévue par ses ordres bien que la Preneuse fût affaiblie par ses deux combats et son équipage ravagé par le scorbut. Mais, en vue des pics de l'île de France, un vaisseau britannique apparut sous le vent de la voile française. La frégate changea son sillage pour éviter l'ennemi qui n'osa la poursuivre ; mais aux atterrages, quand elle se croyait hors de tout danger, un autre vaisseau se trouva encore sur sa route, et celui-ci paraissait décidé à lui disputer le passage. Elle veut gagner un mouillage protégé par le canon de la côte. Parvenue à la baie du Tombeau, célèbre par la découverte du corps de Virginie après le naufrage du Saint-Géran dans le roman Paul et Virginie de Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, une suite de vents brusques et violents, saisissant La Preneuse, la jette sur un récif de corail au moment où elle allait échapper à la poursuite de l'ennemi. Les deux vaisseaux arrivent alors sur elle et l'écrasent de leurs bordées. Lhermitte, voyant sa perte inévitable, fait débarquer ses nombreux blessés, ses malades plus nombreux encore, puis son équipage. Resté à bord avec son état-major et quelques hommes de sa maistrance qui ne voulurent point le quitter, il fit saborder sa frégate, et c'est seulement lorsqu'il la vit hors d'état de pouvoir être relevée qu'il amena son pavillon. Lhermitte, victime d'une maladie contractée probablement lors d'un séjour à Batavia est présenté comme étant lui-même très malade au moment de cette reddition.

Il fut conduit avec ses officiers sur le vaisseau L'Adamant, commandé par le commodore William Hotham, où on le reçut avec tous les égards dus. Quelques jours plus tard, l'état-major de La Preneuse fut mis en liberté sur parole, à la demande du gouverneur de l'île de France. L'arrivée de Lhermitte dans cette colonie fut un véritable triomphe ; il se vit accueilli à son débarquement par une foule enthousiaste qui voulait le porter sur un brancard de lauriers jusqu'à l'hôtel du gouverneur, pendant qu'un salut de quinze coups de canon se joignait aux acclamations publiques pour rendre hommage à sa valeur.

Lhermitte souffrait depuis déjà un an ou deux d'une maladie tropicale contractée probablement lors d'un séjour à Batavia (Jakarta). Il était atteint de crises nerveuses périodiques paralysantes qui allaient le poursuivre tous le reste de sa vie. Cette maladie est à l'origine de la légende inventée de toutes pièces par Louis Garneray, selon laquelle il aurait été victime d'un empoisonnement par un espion britannique à l'île de France en 1800, hypothèse absurde pourtant reprise régulièrement. Lhermitte souffrira de cette maladie tropicale tout le reste de sa vie et écourtera sa carrière en mer.

Lhermitte « le Brave »
Lhermitte ne tarda pas à être échangé ; il rentra en France dans le courant d'. Le premier Consul, qui connaissait ses hauts faits, le manda aux Tuileries pour lui donner de vive voix le témoignage de son estime, et lui remettre de sa main le brevet de capitaine de vaisseau de première classe. C'est à cette occasion que Bonaparte lui décerna le qualificatif de « Brave » qui sera assez systématiquement accolé à son nom par la suite.

En 1802, Lhermitte alla prendre à Lorient le commandement du vaisseau le Brutus, qu'il conduisit à Brest. Il passa ensuite au commandement du vaisseau l'Alexandre, puis à celui du trois ponts le Vengeur, sur lequel l'amiral Truguet avait son pavillon. À la suite de la révocation de Truguet qui s'était déclaré opposé à la proclamation de l'Empire, Lhermitte connut une disgrâce d'à peu près un an pendant lequel il n'eut aucun commandement.

L'Empire

La division Lhermitte
En 1805, il commandait sur le vaisseau Regulus une division chargée d'une croisière sur les côtes des Açores, du Cap Vert et de la côte d'Afrique, et enfin sous la ligne, se rendit de là aux Antilles, où il se signala par un grand nombre de captures. Sa division fut dispersée par un ouragan en  et il rentra à Brest avec le seul Regulus, le , après avoir échappé à la chasse de quatre vaisseaux britanniques.

Pendant cette croisière, Lhermitte prit 26 bâtiments de guerre ou de commerce (notamment plusieurs gros bâtiments négriers) ayant à bord  d'équipage et 229 canons. Il fit éprouver au Royaume-Uni une perte de 10 millions de livres.

 l'élève au grade de contre-amiral et le fait baron de l'Empire en 1807.

Un commandement écourté à Rochefort
Il commanda quelques mois l'escadre de Rochefort avec pavillon sur le vaisseau Ville de Varsovie d' à mi- quand la maladie le contraignit à quitter son seul vrai commandement en tant que contre-amiral ; la persistance de sa maladie ne lui permettra plus d'exercer aucun commandement à la mer par la suite.

Le conseil de guerre des brûlots de l'île d'Aix
Un décret impérial, daté d'Ebersdorf, le nomma commissaire impérial, c'est-à-dire procureur, près le conseil de guerre que ce décret convoquait à Rochefort, afin de juger quatre capitaines de vaisseau à la suite de l'attaque par une flottille de brûlots tentée par les amiraux britanniques Thomas Cochrane de Dundonald et John James Gambier, pour détruire sur la rade de l'île d'Aix l'escadre de l'amiral Allemand, dans la nuit du . Lhermitte, fidèle aux ordres du ministre de la Marine et des colonies Decrès, se montra particulièrement sévère vis-à-vis des capitaines dont un fut condamné à mort et un autre destitué, tout en évitant toute mise en cause de l'amiral Zacharie Allemand qui avait pourtant fait preuve d'une totale inefficacité et aurait dû être le premier accusé du désastre.

Préfet maritime à Toulon
L'Empereur appela, en 1811, le contre-amiral Lhermitte à la préfecture maritime de Toulon, poste important qu'il occupa jusqu'au début des Cent Jours. Il commanda par intérim pendant quelques mois en 1812 l'escadre de la Méditerranée, totalement stationnaire à cette époque, avant de revenir à sa préfecture.
Pendant toute cette période, régulièrement affecté par sa maladie, il fut fréquemment suppléé par le capitaine de vaisseau Christy-Pallière.

En 1814, Louis XVIII l'envoya, avec le vaisseau  Ville-de-Marseille, prendre à Palerme le duc d'Orléans et sa famille pour les ramener en France. Le baron Lhermitte, officier de la Légion d'honneur depuis la création de l'Ordre, reçut en cette circonstance la croix de l'ordre de Saint-Louis.

Lhermitte reprit à son retour ses fonctions de préfet maritime malgré sa santé difficile. Au retour de  de l'île d'Elbe, il se déclara maladroitement en faveur du roi et fut immédiatement limogé.

Fin de carrière

Mis à la retraite en , vice-amiral à titre honoraire, il est mort au Plessis-Picquet (aujourd'hui Le Plessis-Robinson) près de Paris le . Son nom est inscrit sur l'arc de triomphe de l'Étoile.

Ses traits, ainsi que ceux de son épouse nous sont connus par deux pastels de Langlois de Sézanne, donné par la famille Lhermitte au musée de Coutances. Ce musée dispose aussi d'un portrait en médaillon par Fanish: le capitaine Lhermitte en 1793.

Jean Lhermitte était franc-maçon, initié en  par la loge Les Élus de Sully de Brest qui comptait de nombreux officiers de marine.

SANDY Bay beach has been adopted by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), Devon Cliffs Holiday Park and EDF Energy in an attempt to keep the beach clean.From next Wednesday the energy company will head to the beach armed with bin bags. As well as keeping the beach clean, the rubbish collected will provide vital information for the MCS to be able to target the manufacturers.John Ball, environment manager of Devon Cliffs Holiday Park, said: "We are delighted to welcome EDF Energy to Sandy Bay beach as partners in the Marine Conservation Society's adopt-a-beach scheme. "As a company we believe that one of the best ways forward to safeguard our beautiful countryside and coastline is through sustainable tourism and we are delighted to be involved in this exciting new link-up with one of Britain's biggest power companies in such a worthwhile environmental project."Sue Kinsey, MCS's adopt-a-beach officer, said "EDF Energy's support of MCS adopt-a-beach is just fantastic. The more people who are aware of the problem of beach litter the sooner we can start to change things for the better."The move is part of a wider plan for EDF Energy to adopt a beach in the South West, South East and North East of England - from where the company operates.In April, the Beachwatch report published by the MCS revealed more litter is found on the West Country's beaches than anywhere else in the UK.Plastic litter is now at its worst level ever recorded on Britain's beaches.On average, some 2000 pieces of litter are scattered across every kilometre of UK beach, according to the MCS, with beach visitors, fishing debris, sewage outfalls and shipping all contributing to the problem - and proving hazardous and often fatal to marine wildlife.Mike Davy, EDF Energy's major business director of customer services, at Exeter, said: "We're delighted to be teaming up with the Marine Conservation Society to help them in their work at Sandy Bay. As a company we are already involved in numerous environmental projects in the South West, but this is an opportunity to have an input in a longer-term scheme. "It means we can build awareness amongst staff and help make a real difference to the local environment.

Diamond Version is the collaboration between two ground breaking and experimental creators in modern music, Olaf Bender (Byetone) and Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto). As joint heads of the German-based label Raster-Noton, and with their respective solo projects, they have been releasing work that spectacularly blurs the lines between the visceral and the conceptual, bridging the gap between gallery and dance floor. Opening the EP series is Technology At The Speed Of Life / Empowering Change. The combined effect of these tracks' crisp, synthetic surfaces and the slogans hyper real imagery is two-fold, drawing attention to the sinister utopias the titles suggest, while also hinting at their inherent absurdity. "Diamond Version is a project born out of a live situation. We occasionally performed encores together after our solo sets. These spontaneous and improvised tracks always had a kind of "special energy" which we missed in our solo works." "Diamond Version tries to capture this energy and combines it with conceptual ideas: every day we are exposed to the Daily Short Message Information Culture (DSMC), the aesthetic of this information system became a strong topic and a Blueprint of the visual identity of the Diamond Version project." explains Diamond Version. Diamond Version's aesthetic is charged with surreal and subversive humour, drawing titles and iconography from a host of corporate slogans which are used as track titles across the releases.
"We both are obsessed with company logos," says Nicolai. "We collected these slogans and started reading them, without knowing the companies. In this amount and concentration they become absurd." The duo have known one another since they were teenagers growing up in Germany. A common ground proved intuitively easy to tap into.
"Carsten and I share a strong interest in rhythmic music. We also share an idea of general aesthetic, as in design, and prefer even in music, more and more roughness. With Diamond Version we will follow this rough rhythmic direction, we are not DJs and we're less interested in delivering a functional music to a social situation," Bender explains, though he's keen to emphasise that despite its very powerful presence, Diamond Version is not simply a project aimed at club floors. "It's a bit harsh, and a bit more noisy [than our solo projects], but this is not the main focus." Read more on Last.fm.

Ok, so we aren't in the chalkboard business – but we couldn't help but share this one. This is a great idea that would work well for dry erase paint as well. We really like the creative application; having the surface surrounding the doorway and providing a large surface composed of several distinct areas is great!
A large part of getting the most out of your dry erase surface painted surface is getting the location right. This is important for both use and aesthetics. Putting your surface up in a high traffic area where it is constantly seen can be a real benefit – and having it by a door can just come in handy!
As we come across great ideas like this one, we'll share them here – let us know if you come across any great ideas for dry erase surfaces!

How Nissan is Making the Electric Car Happen
Nissan's "Reuse, Resell, Refabricate and Recycle" venture gives lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars a second life as energy storage solutions by recycling and reusing them.
What happened to the electric car? After disappearing from the market for a few years, things are about to change. Nissan Motor Co. now projects the demand for large-capacity second-life lithium-ion batteries to skyrocket in Japan to the equivalent of 50,000 electric cars by the year 2020. That's why Nissan teamed up with Sumitomo Corporation and announced in October 2009 its "Reuse, Resell, Refabricate and Recycle" joint venture to give lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars a second life as energy storage solutions by recycling and reusing them.
Nissan is making recycling of lithium-ion batteries a hot topic.
There currently is no existing supply of large-capacity reusable lithium-ion batteries, and Nissan hopes to fill that niche by becoming the world's first company to provide a zero-emission car. Not only that, but the lithium-ion batteries will also be able to be reused and recycled. Nissan is focusing on launching these electric vehicles with reusable lithium-ion batteries by 2012. Once these vehicles reach the normal end-of-life cycle, their batteries are expected to retain 70% to 80% of residual capacity and will be reused and resold to other markets for energy storage. The second-life batteries are expected to be reused in the following applications:
Energy storage for photovoltaic solar panels (residential and commercial)
Backup power supplies
Load-leveling for the electricity grid
Leveling of energy from photovoltaic solar and wind power

Read the Full Article - How Much Does a Root Canal Cost?
I have been checking prices in MN since unemployed and uninsured and I am being quoted from 1213.00 to 1265.00 for the root canal (although U of M denistry school states 400 - 800) and the crown is being priced from 700(U of M Denistry school) to 1200.00 at dentist.
I've finally had it with the pain in my tooth and decided to go to the dentist. I'm a stay at home mom w/ no insurance or income, so I was scared of what they would charge me. I need a root canal on my left side molar, a crown rebuild and cap. They priced it a little over $2000. I wanted to cry. When I questioned others about this, they said the price was outrageous and have had others do it for less, but not in this area. What is reasonable?
I was already going to western dental for a 3000.00 implant. I had moved to another city close by and needed a root canal. I figured 600-1000 dollars. They told me it would cost 2100.00. I am an unemployed single mom of 4 kids. My son also has braces from them. They just seem to charge a whole lot of money. Obviously, people go there because they don't have insurance or limited financial means. It seems like western dental would be priced a bit more reasonable. Anyone else have this problem?
I recently went for a checkup to be evaluated with a treatment plan and cleaning for $99. Needless to say the total was over $8,000. Three crowns, three fillings and some cracked teeth filled. I want to focus on the painful canine right now which I received antibiotics from this dentists for. I decided to try a new approach as we are on a fixed income with no dental insurance. I am offering $400 cash for the root canal alone which he wants $826 for. Hope this works. Lets see if there is kindness out there.
Cost was completely out of pocket, no insurance. The Doctor was kind enough to at least provide a free evaluation and x-rays.
I paid credit, using the doctor's inhouse credit payment plan of no intrest in 6 months to get the whole procedure. From the looks of the other posts I don't think I got a good discount. More like the average price.
I thought I was getting a great deal when they quoted me a price of $950...stupid me did not realize they were not including the post and crown, which I just found out will cost an additional $1500. I have two other teeth that I should also get done...it will not be happening.
I grind my teeth, which caused me to develop TMJ. Purchased a night guard which did wonders. Months later, I awoke with a horrible toothache, which was found to be a cracked molar. (I clinched so hard, it cracked in 2 places) The tooth was drilled & a temp crown placed. The pain got worse, so a root canal was performed. Horrible sound, horrible taste, glad its over with. I dont have insurance, so when I got the bill I almost fainted! $1100 for crown & $884 for root canal! Shouldve had it pulled!
Root canal on tooth 29 plus crown. Root canal was 1800, crown was 1000. No insurance.
Had a root canal yesterday because tooth had broken off- previously had a filling. I was starting to experience some pain so went in to see Dentist. Cost of the root canal was 1200 but my part was only 350.00 So paid this amount and when I go back to get the crown I will pay 400.00 (which is 50% of the total cost of the crown) ins. will pick up the rest. So total 750.00 out of pocket for the root canal and crown. Awesome Dentist!
Had a large filling in this tooth that had been giving me twinges for some time. Tooth broke cleanly away from filling on inside of mouth while eating something soft. Dentist recommended a root canal in addition to crown. Spent 1 1/2 hours at dentist today getting root canal. Painless (so far). Need to go back in 2 weeks for crown. Pd $828 for root canal ($34 over estimate given because of additional x-rays taken). $908 for crown. $306 for prep and post for crown. I about fell over when I saw the prices, as they were about twice what I was expecting. After reading these posts, I guess they are in line with other dentists' charges.
What I don't understand is the price differences >.< BTW I had no pain. 2hr procedure, same day apt. , friendly staff. Insurance covered 50% yup 1240 total! So from what I've read way better for you than a implant which is why I opted to do this. I think this is a great way to vent, the cost was unexpected and super high(like a house payment high). ~ I hope I never need to do this again.
I just finished a root canal and crown on an upper left bicuspid. I paid $65.00 (total for five visits), while Japanese national health insurance paid for the rest. The national insurance covers the cost of a metal crown; if I had wanted a white plastic or ceramic crown, the price would have increased by $400-$700, but at my age (60) I have little reason for vanity. Can't believe America still lacks basic national health insurance.
Choose to pay 150 add'l for nitrous oxide gas--my first time (but 3rd root canal) and well worth it. Time: @ 1 hour. Also substantial Prof. courtesy coordination ($225) with implant specialist was not charged. Thankfully given start up pain meds w/reminder card for amts and intervals. Periodontist w/latest materials. Highly skilled professional and staff ensures good result.
I was NOT expecting to pay almost three grand for one single tooth!
There are still more charge when I go back for the permanant cap!
The procedure seemed to be fairly regular.
They took a manual xray and deduced that light infection in a deep crown breach was killing the nerve, so a root canal was called for.
In and out within the hour. No muss no fuss.
The procedure took more than 1 hour. Was not painfil and afterwards i took some painkillers. The day after I was OK.
HELP HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO?
MAN O MAN I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE EXPERENCING SO MUCH PAIN, PAIN IN MY BILL FOLD AND PAIN IN MY FACE.
I had an old cracked/broken tooth that eventually became infected and after a sleepless night in pain I saw a dentist the next morning. That dentist recommended root canal/crown and wanted $2,400. Having no insurance I could only pay for the office visit/two x-rays at $116 and got antibiotics and pain killers. I really didn't want to loose another tooth (I'd already lost three over the years b/c I could never afford to go to the dentist and always waited until the teeth were so bad that I had to have them pulled. Plus I am very nervous about dentist.)After some research I found a new low cost dental clinic and they offer paitents with no insurance a discount and a payment plan! So the root canal/crown at this clinic was much cheaper at $1,300, plus I could pay $650 down and the rest when I have the permanent crown put in. It's not a fancy clinic but it is more affordable for someone like me.
The prices listed on this site refer to general dentists only. Endodontists (dentists who specialize in root canals) generally charge around $1000, more or less depending on the complexity of the root canal.
If you go to a regular dentist expect root canals to cost much less.

Heroes of the Fourth Turning at Playwrights Horizon
November 13, 2019 by Steve Mentz
The four talkers paced the backyard on a cold Wyoming night, seething.
Justin's hand trembled as he prepared to disembowel a newly-shot deer. Teresa joyously proclaimed her readiness for the coming "war." Emily ached with unlocated pain. Kevin gazed up at the stars and railed at his addition to the internet.
Will Arbery's great new play, "Heroes of the Fourth Turning," has under a week to go at the Playwright's Horizon on Broadway's edge. Many of the reviews that have made it one of the hot plays of the season have emphasized its ability to make urban liberals feel the feelings of rural Christians. But it's better than that, and harder. The play, via the figure of Teresa, played with fire and charisma by Zoe Winters, scoffs at those of us who are "addicted to empathy." That's too simple an answer, too squishy and shareable. The truths this play's after are less easy to assimilate.
Arbery comes by his knowledge of the play's world biographically; his parents teach at Wyoming Catholic College and the character Gina, who arrives late to the party after having been named the new President of the College, appears to be based on his mother, Ginny. (The conservative author Rod Dreher, author of a brief for Christian separatism called The Benedict Option, which the play references, could not get to New York to see the production, but he's written a compelling response to the screenplay based on his longtime relationship with the family.) Like many New Yorkers in the full house on Tuesday night, I was an outsider to the particulars of this world, but responded viscerally to the emotional force of the play. Theater is emotion concentrated, and that's what we got last night on 42nd Street.
Teresa quote-evangelized paranoid theories of history – the "Fourth Turning" describes the coming generation of heroes, like the Civil War and World War II — she gleaned from Steve Bannon. Kevin vomited on stage, just a couple feet in front of my seat. Emily lovingly described her friend Olivia, who worked for Planned Parenthood. Justin quoted Latin poetry, Aristotle, and Plato.
Some of the chatter about the play has connected it to other "sympathy for Trump voters" efforts such as J. D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. But unlike Vance, whose memoir I found to be thin and self-serving, Arbery writes with an artist's aggression and restlessness. We don't need to like these characters. They aren't charming. They're feeling pain. They play asks us to take that pain seriously, whether we empathize or not.
Kevin declaimed Wordsworth's "The world is too much with us, late and soon" in full. Emily got embarrassed when her mom showed up drunk to the party. Justin carried Emily since it was too painful for her to walk. Teresa developed a cocaine habit while living in Brooklyn.
The notion that the cultural war might devolve into real combat shadows the evening's conversation, from Teresa's ecstatic and Bannon-sourced prediction that "war is coming" to the pistol Justin carried in his back pocket to the recurrent references to electoral politics. All four of the talkers distrust Trump but voted for him. All four resist and resent mainstream American culture. All share a sense of solidarity through cultural resistance, of being a select but imperiled group. "There's more of them than us," Justin says mournfully, deliberately overlooking the current levers of power owned by the American right.
Emily howled forth the pain of a desperate and angry Chicago woman she counseled at a pro-life center. Justin played guitar and sang about the comforts of "nothing." Teresa asked her former professor to blurb her forthcoming book of Breitbart-esque vitriol. Kevin craved a "big conversation." Also a girlfriend.
In several moments, the play interrogated but also simply presented Catholic orthodoxy to view. John Zdrojeski's manic Kevin gushed a graphic, description of the Eucharist. Along with Jeb Kraeger's powerful Justin, he and Tesera voiced a collective rosary. July McDermott's Emily appealed to the person I imagine to be Arbery's ideal writer, "Flannery O." These materials together assumed a powerful strangeness in performance. I'm a standard-issue academic lefty and seldom a churchgoer, though working for more than a dozen years at a Catholic University has given me a window onto the richness of Catholic social thought, its uncompromising resistance to certain aspects of modernity — Justin, who often serves as a moral compass in the play, rejects LBGTQ people unambiguously — and its deep attachment to classical and Biblical texts. The dissonance of "Heroes" felt a little familiar to me.
A painful screech scoured the stage several times during the performance. Justin said it was a malfunctioning generator, but then later admitted he had been lying about that. The struggle of a soul in agony? It never quite became clear.
Gina — Emily's mother, former professor of Teresa, Justin, and Kevin, and newly elected President of Transfiguration College — arrived late to the party. She denounced Teresa, suggested she may hire Kevin as a new Director of Admissions, rejected Justin's idea to add marksmanship to the College curriculum, and — heartbreakingly — appeared not quite to believe in her daughter Emily's pain. Pain functioned as the basic currency of this world, and Gina's inability to see her daughter felt to me unforgivable.
Motherhood, symbolic and literal, occupies at the play's red-hot core. Gina's triumphant claim to Christian sacrifice, which she pounded into Teresa during an argumentative climax, built itself atop the physical risk and suffering of eight C-sections and eight babies. Kevin opened his "big conversation" with Teresa wondering why he had to venerate the Virgin Mary. Emily did tell Justin at one point that she thinks he'd make a great Dad, but fatherhood stayed off stage. Mothers are the mystery, the flesh, the suffering. Gina genuflected to her academic husband's "brilliance," but admitted that she was glad that she was the one chosen to be the next College President. Abortion politics, raw and uncompromisable, shadowed everything. (By coincidence, I came across my one-time colleague Caitlin Flanagan's visceral entry into the abortion debate just a half-hour before the show, which seemed appropriate. Flanagan ends up seeing the debate as unsolvable. I wonder what she'd make of this play?)
Not much time left, but if you can, get to West 42nd St to see one of the last shows! And put Will Arbery on the list of names to watch.

Towns' pools under threat
PUBLISHED: 10:51 26 September 2008 | UPDATED: 07:40 01 August 2010
BECCLES and Halesworth's open air pools are amongst a number of amenities likely to be sacrificed following a review of leisure services in north Suffolk.
The review, which was put forward to a Waveney District Council (WDC) cabinet yesterday, says that the two pools and the Halesworth Rifle Hall are not providing enough value for money to be kept open, and Waveney does not believe it can achieve its strategic objectives without losing some of its underperforming assets and projects.
None of the facilities managed to score half of the maximum points available, and so were deemed to "show little evidence that they achieve the key strategic priorities for leisure," and do not "have the achievable potential to do so in the future."
The review recommends that Beccles open air pool no longer be managed by the council from next April. However it also states that officers should look at options for continued provision of the service as part of the Enabling Agenda, where outside operators are brought in to manage services.
Maureen Saunders, chairman of the Friends of Beccles Pool, said that they would be putting forward proposals to help run the pool if WDC decide that enabling options should be allowed.
"Basically we're going to fight tooth and nail to do that," she said. "It's a waiting game at the moment. Hopefully it will carry on but how confident can you be? I cannot see the pool opening next year as things stand.
"I'm not surprised this has happened because it's been under threat for a number of years. But we were promised by Mark Bee that there would try and keep it open for as long as possible, until the new one was built."
The review also says that the Halesworth pool should be returned to its owners, the Halesworth Playing Fields Association (PFA), and so would also no longer be managed by the council from next April.
But Tony Goldson, chairman of the PFA, said that such a move would be "disastrous" as the association does not have the funds to run it and the pool would close.
Meanwhile it is suggested that the Halesworth Rifle Hall should no longer be offered as a service from April next year, and that the council should explore options on the site in partnership with Halesworth Town Council - which has so far refused to take control of the hall in its current condition.
Council vice-chairman Sandra Leverett said: "We don't think in its present condition it is fit for community use. We would want to have appropriate funding to use it."
The Beccles pool had 9,080 users in 2007/08 - meaning it cost £5.82 a head to run. Meanwhile Halesworth pool, which had 1,831 users in 2007/08, cost £13.50 and Halesworth Rifle Hall, which had 1,050 users, £7.54.
These are compared with Bungay Pool and Gym, which scored 14 points and had 141,222 users at the cost of just 27p.
The Friends of Beccles Open Air Swimming Pool are holding a coffee morning on October 10 from 10am to 12pm to raise money to keep the pool open. To become a member of the Friends you can apply at The Gazette Bookshop in The Walk.

December 2012 – Peter Chaffetz was on the panel at the ICDR's international arbitration conference in Sao Paulo entitled, "Alternative Dispute Resolution Options for Today's Global Commercial Transactions." Peter's session featured a roundtable discussion of current U.S. developments, including the potential for discovery in aid of arbitration under 28 U.S. C. Section 1782, the enforcement of awards and judgments in the U.S,. and the current status of the 'manifest disregard' doctrine.
Peter is one of the founding partners of Chaffetz Lindsey. He is currently representing a Brazilian private equity firm in a loan-related dispute against one of the world's largest hedge funds. The firm regularly represents clients based in Latin America or investing in the region, and was one of the sponsors of the conference.


I offer my love and gratitude to Mother Earth, Goddess Gaia and all of you for your great love, patience and fortitude during these great times of Earthly transition toward Light. Earth continues to go through turbulent times, as she rids herself of more and more dross. This month we bring to your attention urgent work that Divine Mother and the Masters have brought forth.
This month we are offering 2 different courses dealing with the Silent Watchers and the Angelic Watchers. One is a Home Study Course called Creation of Angelic Watchers with Melchizedek and Divine Mother and the other is a Live course called Silent Watchers at the Throne of Ellah. It is highly recommended that you take the Home Study Course, Creation of Angelic Silent Watchers with Melchizedek and Divine Mother, before the Live course, Silent Watchers at the Throne of Ellah, on 10/21 because, through the first course, you will participate in the creation of the Silent Watchers and the Angelic Watchers and in the second, you participate in installing them at the Throne of Ellah.
The recent earthquakes and hurricanes have brought to the surface a great need for stabilizing Earth's Five Body System. We have been called to action by Divine Mother and the Masters to be of great service in helping Earth Stabilize her Five Body System. Please pay special attention to the notices below for a very special course: Stabilizing the 5 Body System of Earth with Divine Mother.
Also this month we continue our work with St. Germain, bringing his energies to the forefront. This month's meditation is a potent and timely one in which St. Germain works with your Flame of God Unity and Spheres of Remembrance and Illumination. St. Germain also takes you to Divine Mother's Throne to receive the Seed of Perfection. These are great tools to use on a daily basis and as an adjunct to the Alchemy of Instant Manifestation Home Study Series.
Alchemy of Instant Manifestation with St. Germain Phase II, which was offered in September, is still available at the reduced tuition, so you may magnify the impact of the Alchemy Series with this month's Meditation. This series is to be taken in order, so please see the link below if you would like to take Phase I. We are temporarily offering Phase I at the reduced Tuition.

Tuition: $125.00 until midnight, 10/8 and $150.00 thereafter.
In this one session course, Divine Mother invites us to one of the inner chambers of her Throne to offer a healing to our Five Body System. She also offers release from, and dissolution of the burden of our remaining karmic debts and entanglements. These impediments can cause us distraction and delay, as we accelerate into the new Spiritual Year, beginning in November. In our last session, Divine Mother told us that we have woven a unique and powerful group Signature Energy, capable of achieving enormous feats of service. It is time for us to receive the gift of healing and removal of karma so graciously offered by Divine Mother and other Cosmic Beings. Join us to make our Group Energy even more potent and mighty through this healing.
Friday, October 21 at 7:30 PM ET.
Tuition: $88.00 until midnight Saturday, 10/15 and $99.00 thereafter.
You are invited to join Divine Mother in installing the Silent Watchers at the Throne of Ellah. The Great Silent Watcher, the Cosmic Being responsible for the creation of our entire Solar System, has offered her overlighting presence to raise the vibration of Earth's entire Hierarchy of Thrones. She has specifically requested a dispensation from Divine Mother to send the 12 Silent Watchers, who have become the Guardians of Earth, to cocoon the Throne in the 55th Dimension in order to dissolve all disruption and correct all misalignment.
We highly recommend that you take the Home Study Course, Creation of Angelic Watchers with Melchizedek and Divine Mother, offered below in this Newsletter before Silent Watchers at the Throne of Ellah, so that you can witness and participate in the events leading up to this Landmark point.
The retrieval, return and assigning of the Watchers are events of paramount importance. Divine Mother will give us background relating to the 55th Dimension, relevant to these events, and tell us why installing the Silent Watchers in this Throne, under the over-lighting presence of Great Silent Watcher, is of such great significance. To read more and to register, click here.
This is a 2 Session Home Study Course. There will be no live events for this course. You may access the course material on-line at your convenience.
Tuition is $75.00 until midnight on Saturday, 10/ 15, and $88.00 thereafter.
In this course, we witness Divine Mother call forth the last of the Angelic Watchers, who have remained behind, to return to their Source. We then witness the creation of the Seed of Life which becomes the Life Giving Force for fashioning 144 new Silent Watchers and 144,000 Angelic Watchers. The 144 Silent Watchers will oversee the Angelic Watchers. The 144,000 Angelic Watchers are sent to occupy the Celestial Realms as well as from the 13th Dimension down to the 3rd to become the Guardians of all souls and to guide earth and humankind to the higher vibration that awakens us to our Higher Selves and opens the Gateways to the 5th Dimensional Octave. We will also have the opportunity to receive one Silent Watcher, as your Personal Cosmic Guardian, and 1,000 Angelic Watchers to guide, guard and accelerate you in the manifestation of your spiritual needs and worldly success. To read more and register, click here.
This course will be available on 10/7. At that time, you may access the course material on-line at your convenience.
Tuition (Half price): $99.00 until midnight 11/17 and $198.00 thereafter.
The year of 2011 has been full of Natural and Manmade disasters. It is easy to see the effects of these events on the Physical Body of Earth in the form of flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the war torn and scarred lands where battles are raging. All these events leave scars and marks of trauma throughout the Five Body System of Earth. In this course, Divine Mother offers us an explanation of the workings of the Five Body System of Earth and tools for its healing.
Prerequisite: Alchemy of Instant Manifestation Phase I. To read more and to register for Phase I at a reduced Tuition, click here.
Tuition for Phase II is $122.00 until midnight ET on Saturday, 10/15 and $144.00 thereafter.
Our emphasis in Phase II is to anchor the Energies of Alchemy on Earth. We will mainly focus on the Five Elements. All manifestation takes place through the Five Elements. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether; are the building blocks of everything manifest. There are Angelic Forces and Celestial Guardians in charge of the Five Elements who keep the knowledge of Alchemy of Instant Manifestation in their hearts and guard it from falling into the wrong hands. These Guardians were called thousands of years ago to retrieve the secrets and move them to the Higher Realms.
In Phase II, we will receive the secrets from the Cosmic Guardians and Celestial Guardians and we will be appointed our own Angelic Forces in charge of the Higher Aspects of the Five Elements, which are fully involved with the secret knowledge of Alchemy.
The Anchoring of the Five Elements at their Higher Aspect, imbued with the Alchemical Potencies, has the potential for restoring balance and harmony back to Earth. After all, our Mother Earth depends on reliable performance from the Five Elements to ensure survival of all species and the planet. To read more and register, click here.
In this exercise, St. Germain guides us first to form the Sphere of Remembrance and illuminate it to become the Sphere of Illumination and then to clear all chakras above the body with the help of Violet Flame and Violet Ray. He then takes us on the journey through the Thrones calling for the Blueprint that restores our Original Divine Plan and weaves it into the tapestry of our lives.
We then retrieve the Seed of all perfection from various alternate realities to become our Divinely Ordained and fully Perfected Ultimate Reality. The Spark of Light from the core of the Great Silence is then called to illuminate the Seed and complete this amazing journey.
Visualize you are standing face to face with St. Germain. His left hand is over your heart and your left hand is over my heart. St Germain's right hand is over your left hand and your right hand is over St. Germain's left hand creating a loop of infinity, the symbol of Eternal Life Force. Bathe in the Light and feel the energies emanating from my heart to your heart and from my hand to your hand.
The Purple Sphere of Remembrance begins to form inside your Heart Chakra. At the center, the Flame of God-Unity is illuminated. The presence of the Flame is a reminder that there is no separation. You have taken physical embodiment in bodies of matter, as incarnate souls. The Spark of Light held in your heart is the symbol of Oneness which has its source in the heart of the Undifferentiated Source.
When illuminated, the Sphere of Remembrance becomes the Sphere of Illumination. The ignition and illumination leads to greater awakening and acceleration of spiritual energies within the person. The Sphere of Illumination vibrates a Golden-Platinum Light and the Flame of God-Unity emanates Pure White Light throughout the Sphere.
Focus your attention on your heart and visualize that the Sphere of Remembrance has become the Sphere of Illumination, pulsing in rhythm with your heartbeat, beating in rhythm with mine.
"In the name of the Divine Mother, the Creative Force for this entire Manifest Creation, I ask to become the embodiment of my Divine Mission on Earth. I ask this through St. Germain and the energies of the Violet Ray and Flame. I ask for freedom from dross in my physical and all energy bodies. I seek to become the perfection of the Light of my Soul Lineage and to anchor this Light on Earth in accordance with the Perfected Original Plan." Take a moment to pause and receive the energies.
Visualize that a Pillar of Light is illuminated all around us. You and I stand inside the Pillar and begin to spin clockwise. The Sphere of Illumination begins to spin in our hearts. We spiral upward inside the Pillar of Light all the way to the Throne of Absolute, the Throne of Divine Mother.
"In the name of the Divine Mother, the Creative Force for this entire Manifest Creation, I ask for the power and might to become the embodiment of my Divine Mission on Earth. I ask this through the Throne of Absolute and the Presence of Divine Mother. I ask for freedom from dross in my physical and all energy bodies. I seek to become the perfection of the Light of my Soul Lineage and to anchor this Light on Earth in accordance with the Perfected Original Divine Plan." Take a moment to pause and receive the energies.
We ask the Seven Lords of Light to sanction this intention and bless the Seed. We ask Divine Mother to seal it. We merge into this Throne and receive the sanctions of the Seven Lords, the Maha Lord and Divine Mother. Mother takes your hand and beckons you to accompany her to the Throne of Creation, the Abode of the Pool of Creation; the Quantum Pool where all thoughts are created and take form. We move into the depth of the Pool of Creation to the Throne of Feminine Principle where the seeds for all thoughtforms and all actions are held. Divine Mother will retrieve from the fabric of that Throne, the creation of the idea, design, and thoughts for the formation of a Golden Seed. That Seed will be placed inside the Sphere of Illumination in your Heart Chakra. We repeat our intention as she is creating the Seed.
"In the name of the Divine Mother, the Creative Force for this entire Manifest Creation, I ask for the power and might to become the embodiment of my Divine Mission on Earth. I ask this through the Pool of Creation and the Throne of Feminine Principle. I ask for freedom from dross in my physical and all energy bodies. I seek to become the perfection of the Light of my Soul Lineage and to anchor this Light on Earth in accordance with the Perfected Original Divine Plan." Take a moment to pause and receive the energies.
We receive the Seed from Divine Mother. She places the Seed inside of the Sphere of Illumination over the Flame of God-Unity. Sit with her while she puts her right hand over your heart. Take a moment to express your love to her and offer your prayers while you receive the Seed. Take a deep breath.
We will carry the Seed in our hearts to the Seven Lords and the Maha Lord of Light. We begin with the First Lord of Light. Merge into the First Lord of Light who is emanating Blue-Green Light. We ask this Lord of Light for the power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being.
We move to the Second Lord of Light. His Light begins in a Peach-Pink color and stabilizes in a bright Yellow Light. We merge and unite in this Light with the Second Lord of Light. We ask for the sanction and seal of power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being.
We move to the Third Lord of Light. Bright Red Light is emanating everywhere. The Third Lord of Light carries the Life Force of all Manifest Creation. We ask this Lord of Light for the sanction and seal of power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being.
We move to the Fourth Lord of Light. Aquamarine-Blue is emanating everywhere. We ask this Lord of Light for the sanction and seal of power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being.
We move to the Fifth Lord of Light. Emerald-Green is everywhere. We ask this Lord of Light for the sanction and seal of power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being.
We spiral to the Sixth Lord of Light. Bright Orange is emanating everywhere. We ask this Lord of Light for the sanction and seal of power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being.
We move to the Seventh Lord of Light where Purple Light is emanating everywhere. We ask this Lord of Light for the sanction and seal of power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being.
From there we go to the Bubble which is abode of Maha Lord of Light. Aquamarine-Blue Light with Platinum Light is shimmering everywhere. We stand in front of Maha Lord of Light. We ask the Maha Lord of Light for the sanction and seal of power and might to illuminate the Divine Spark; igniting the Divine Spark into the hearts and minds of multitude and masses; illuminating the Seven Rays and Seven Lights within their being. Take a moment to pause and receive the energies.
We spin and spiral back down, bringing the Seed into every Throne and finally into the consciousness of the body. The Flame of God-Unity is now impregnated with the Seed. The intentions are sanctioned and sealed in your heart. The Seed is carried from this day on in your heart and anchored on Earth for the benefit of all.
I stand by your side and serve to bring this intention into manifest reality. In the Light of the Violet Ray and Flame, I hold you with great love.
I am your very own St. Germain.

Recipe modified from the Barefoot Contessa.
Wow, these look amazing! Love, love, love coconut! Thanks so much.
Thanks Jessie! These are SO simple to make…I really was surprised!
That is really easy! And I just so happen to have grated coconut and sweetened condensed milk left over from something else but didn't know quite how to use up. I think I'll whip me up somethin' sweet tonight!
Yes, it is just amazing to me that these macaroons are this easy to prepare…would love to know how yours turn out!
I have a similar recipe that gets raves every time I make them.
I like to food-process the coconut before mixing, to make the flakes smaller. I like the texture better that way.
Also – these macaroons taste soooo much better a day (or three) after they're made. Seal them in a cookie tin, and they soften up and get all super yummy!
