Competition for those pursuing religious professions has become extremely stiff today. Churches and faith-based organizations are receiving record numbers of applications for few available positions. Sadly, economic downturns, low church attendance, and scandals are displacing clerics at an alarming rate, and often these displaced workers are discouraged and unsure how to translate their experience to the religious or secular world. Although religious professionals are often charismatic public speakers, they may feel uncomfortable sharing "accomplishments" that could be interpreted as bragging. These professionals need resume writers who can help them stand out personally, professionally, and theologically among the myriad of candidates. By understanding what is important, asking probing questions, and listening carefully to religious language and "buzzwords," you can write resumes in your client's voice and according to his or her individual beliefs. Often resume writers shy away from writing religious resumes because they aren't familiar with this industry or population. If you would like to improve your approach or expand your business to include this clientele, please join Ginger Korljan as she demystifies the process. By attending this teleseminar, you will learn:

Sign up for this presentation on grammatical and mechanical aspects of good resume writing and learn to:
Gone are the days when a resume was nothing more than an obituary of ones career. Today's resumes are clearly branded marketing brochures that tell the prospective employer "This is who I am; this is what I do; and here are the highlights of what I can do for you."
But when a client brings you 20+ years of experience or is interested in making a career change, how do you decide what to highlight - and where and in what format? In this presentation we will explore the following:
You know how to write a resume summary and accomplishment statements. You lace your resumes with keywords and you have a toolkit of resume styles you use to showcase your clients' backgrounds. But are you writing resumes that suit today's fast-paced environment? Can your reader quickly find key information about your clients when they view resumes on their desktop, laptop, iPad or smart phone? During this one-hour webinar, participants will learn how to create resumes that suit today's world of speed, impatience, and disruption. Specifically, participants will learn:
We have 7 seconds to make a good first impression. The resume summary is a place where our candidates can either hook the reader, or appear generic - - a personal ad gone bad.

At the conclusion of this teleseminar, you will come away with tools and examples to create summaries that grab the reader's attention. Topics will include:

B-3 Cover Letters: Brief. Bold. Brilliant!Susan Whitcomb Originally Recorded February 17, 2012 Are your clients' cover letters getting read? Recruiters and hiring managers are overwhelmed and out of time. In a world of Web 2.0, the immediacy of social media, and the understaffing of a recession, cover letters need to be brief, relevant, and packed with ROI. Today, many cover letters don't get read if they're too long, too copycat, or too self-absorbed. The seismic shift toward micro-messaged, Twitter-esque communications makes value-infused cover letters an essential practice. Your clients will get noticed in a sea of top talent with a tantalizing "power note" that takes them from "yawn" to "Yes!"
Beyond Qualifications: Practical Strategies for Building Value-Focused Technical DocumentsMarie Zimenoff, NCRW Originally Recorded March 9, 2012 Are your engineering and technical resumes all starting to look and sound the same?

Every resume business has a unique product portfolio, such as resume, cover letter, reference page, LinkedIn profiles, etc. Positioning your business to stay ahead of industry trends is not only important for your business, but it is critical in helping your clients get noticed! In this webinar, participants will learn:
*You do not need a smart phone to generate and insert a QR Code to a resume. It is helpful to have a smart phone, but having a smart phone is not essential to add QR Codes to your resume product portfolio.
In 1996, Pat developed a 12-step resume writing process that was published in the first edition of her Barron's book Resumes in Cyberspace. The editors of The Wall Street Journal published the 12-step process in their National Employment Business Weekly, and it was selected as one of the ten best articles of 1997. With minimal updates over the years, the article has been permanently archived at www.careerjournal.com. In 2002, Barron's expanded the 12-step process into a full-size book (How to Write Better Resumes and Cover Letters).
This teleseminar, which Pat developed around her 12-step process, is a MUST for new resumes writers and is valuable for veteran resume writers, as well. Even if you just validate your own writing process, you will gain something from this presentation. Now, you have a chance to use this award-winning resume writing process to:
You will have access to all of Pat's worksheets, too, which you can use in the data collection phase or just as a guide during your phone interviews. Don't miss this chance to increase your writing speed (and bottom line) in 2010!
Insider Tips for Writing Attorney ResumesShauna C. Bryce, JD, CPRW November 19, 2010

Attract Employers with Magnetic Communications Tools for Technical and Engineering Professionals Marie Zimenoff Originally Recorded January 21, 2011
Do you get requests for engineering and technical resumes but pass them on to others because you lack confidence in this area? Or, if you are proficient in this area, are your technical resumes all starting to look and sound the same? In this teleseminar you will learn practical strategies to build documents that illustrate technical qualifications while communicating each client's unique brand.
The teleseminar presenter, Marie Zimenoff, held leadership development, selection, and advising roles in mechanical and biomedical engineering divisions of various higher education institutions before launching her career management and professional resume writing firm. She will share her expertise on how to capitalize on the straightforward, no-frills style of many of these clients while teaching them to communicate their value in language understood by hiring managers.
In this class, you will learn how to dig deeper than the traditional SAR/CAR accomplishment format to create long-form case studies that stand alone, and mini-case studies that can be incorporated into a resume. Best-of-breed career case studies:
Note: This is an advanced writing technique. While the class will be approachable for even a beginning writer (Kim wishes she'd had this information when she was starting out!) it is not recommended that you use this technique in the NCRW certification process unless you have fully mastered when and how to apply it.
Personality Polka Understanding Personality Type to Choreograph an Effective ResumeWendy Gelberg Originally Recorded June 29, 2012
Does it sometimes seem as if you and your clients are out of step? Perhaps the timing is off - you send them a worksheet to complete and then don't hear back for months (if at all). Or they just can't seem to come with good examples during your intake interview. Or you urge them to provide powerful accomplishment statements and they tell you that makes them feel like they're bragging. Understanding Personality Type, particularly Introversion and Extroversion, can help you recognize what might be contributing to being out of sync so that you can fine-tune the steps to produce better resumes and greater harmony. We'll cover:
Want to implement the perfect complement to your existing resume-writing or career-coaching business? Not sure how to get started? Do you want to learn what topics to cover when you speak with a client? Learn how to implement interview coaching into your portfolio services -- a natural add-on service. In this teleseminar, participants will learn:
Confused about how to find the right keywords to get your client noticed in resume databases? Don't feel alone. The technology is always changing, but the "key" to using the right keywords hasn't changed in the 15 years I've been writing books about the subject. This webinar should be required attendance for every resume writer, from the newbie to the veteran. In an hour, you will learn:
You will have access to Pat's latest research from the software developers of leading applicant-tracking systems. Don't miss this chance to be on the cutting edge of today's keyword-driven job search.
Understanding the ATS: Strategies to Ensure Your Client's Resume is Seen (free webinar)Jonathan Ciampi Originally Recorded November 18, 2011

From the start, Isabel Allende's new novel feels like a break from the past, a deliberate distancing from the deep historical context and magical realism that have marked her work and charmed her readers across generations and national borders. Maya's Notebook is a gritty, violent, cautionary tale set firmly in the present, with a tough-talking teen in the lead role and enough bad guys to fill an Elmore Leonard book.
But even with its relentlessly modern viewpoint, which might disorient some longtime Allende fans, the book offers enough familiar markers to reassure the internationally lauded author's most faithful followers while also winning her some new converts. The writing is still all Allende: driven by emotion, informed by her own multi-cultural life, framed by her brand of lyrical description. And there's historical context, too, although it's less central and more personal than in some of her previous books.
Narrated by troubled 19-year-old Maya, the novel traces the young woman's descent from an offbeat childhood in a rambling house in Berkeley with her grandparents to a nightmarish life on the Las Vegas streets mixed up with thugs, drugs, prostitution and assassins. The painful and degrading fall is set off by the death of her beloved grandfather — and a reminder of how easy the young and vulnerable can slip over the edge.
Eventually, her grandmother comes to the rescue, a Chilean émigré with a mystical bent who packs Maya off to live with an old friend on a remote island off the coast of Chile. That's when Maya begins to grow up, figure out what ails her and tackle some of the central mysteries of her life.
Allende, who was born in Peru, raised in Chile and now lives in California, has said she wrote this book with her six grandchildren in mind, realizing she couldn't protect them from all the evils of the world. And indeed, Maya's character is written with an undertone of sympathy. She's an open-hearted mess: angry, impulsive, funny, tumbling from one disastrous situation to another, the hot-headed runaway with scrappy appeal. Watching her character evolve from defiant kid to humbled but clear-eyed young woman is a compelling journey. You want to see her emerge on the other side, older and wiser but still true to herself.
Allende is kind to her readers, starting the story as Maya heads to the island, the grandmotherly rescue already a fait accompli. The flashbacks of drug overdoses, rape and criminality are brutal — they're conveyed as entries in Maya's notebook — but readers already know she survived to tell the tale.
That's not to say there's no suspense. Maya's voyage of self-discovery leads to detective work involving her own family. Upping the tension is the fact that Maya is cut off from the world — no email or phone calls — because law enforcement agencies and killers are trying to track her down. Eventually, just as Maya begins to understand her past and adapt to the tiny, slow-paced society of the island, her two worlds collide with potentially catastrophic results.
Allende's old magic works its way into Maya's story through her grandmother and the island people. As Maya opens herself to the possibilities of the island, she's invited to a midnight meeting with a group of women who may or may not be witches. She falls in mind-boggling love, feels herself dying and being reborn. Sees new horizons where once there were none.
And that's where Allende uses her reliable literary tools to fresh advantage. The magical touches, which could have felt like a retread of previous books, seem new again as they play out through Maya's eyes.
Some of the earlier criticisms of Allende's work still apply here. She's not the most subtle of writers, embracing high drama every time. Love and violence, themes she has embraced before, are once again center stage. But there's a lot to like here, starting with Maya. She reminds us of the central role that luck or lack of it can play in our lives. And her slow return to a more sure-footed existence shows us that sometimes, we can triumph anyway.

Born September 9, 1930, in La Grange, North Carolina, Frank Lucas moved to Harlem in 1946 where he entered the world of street crime. By the 1960s, he had constructed an international drug empire that spanned from New York to South East Asia. Killings, extortion, and bribery were his modus operandi. Lucas had millions in cash and property in several cities when he was busted in 1975.
Early Life
Born September 9, 1930, in La Grange, North Carolina, Frank Lucas was a country boy who grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina. As with many larger-than-life personalities, the biography of Frank Lucas is shrouded in fact, mystery and myth, much of which has been perpetuated by Lucas himself.
Lucas grew up in rural North Carolina during the depths of the Great Depression. Many Americans in the rural South were poor at this time, but most African-Americans suffered the deepest poverty. Lucas spent much of his early youth looking after his younger siblings and getting into trouble. He has claimed that the one incident that sparked his life of crime was witnessing the murder of his cousin. He was only six years old when five members of the Ku Klux Klan, shrouded in sheets and hoods, showed up one night at the shack where he was living. The men killed Lucas's 13-year-old cousin on the spot, claiming he had looked at a white woman in a flirtatious way. But, like much of the folklore surrounding Frank Lucas, investigators have never uncovered evidence to support his claim.
As the oldest boy in the family, Lucas had to find ways for the family to survive. With the Depression raging on, it was difficult to obtain and hold a job, so he resorted to stealing food. Later, as he got older and stronger, he found some success mugging intoxicated customers outside the local tavern. In his later teen years, he got a job working as a truck driver for a pipe company until he was caught in the act of sleeping with the boss' daughter. In the ensuing fight, Lucas hit the father on the head with a pipe, knocking him out cold. He then stole $400 from the company till and set the establishment on fire. Fearing he would be arrested and jailed for much of his life, his mother pleaded with him to flee to New York.
Move to New York
Frank Lucas arrived in Harlem in the summer of 1946. People told him to be smart and get a decent job as an elevator operator or door man at a hotel. But Lucas saw how real money was made on the streets, through illegal gambling and drugs. With each ensuing crime, he became more bold and ruthless. He first robbed a local bar at gunpoint. Then he stole a tray of diamonds from a jewelry store, breaking a guard's jaw with a slug from his brass knuckles. Feeling confident, he brazenly broke into a high-stakes crap game at local club and robbed all the players. Then, in the summer of 1966, on a crowded sidewalk, Lucas shot a local thug who reneged on a dope deal. His efforts caught the eye of Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson, a long-time Harlem gangster who controlled gambling and extortion operations.

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
- Cut 185g unsalted butter into smallish cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g best dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them. Now remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
- While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4 (most ovens take 10-15 minutes to heat up). Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Now tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl, and tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
- With a large sharp knife, chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board. The slabs of chocolate will be quite hard, so the safest way to do this is to hold the knife over the chocolate and press the tip down on the board, then bring the rest of the blade down across the chocolate. Keep on doing this, moving the knife across the chocolate to chop it into pieces, then turn the board round 90 degrees and again work across the chocolate so you end up with rough squares.
- Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar until they look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is, so don't lose heart. You'll know it's ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you're there.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like – you don't want to undo all the work you did in step 4.
- Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly. Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don't want to overdo this mixing. Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they're dotted throughout. Now your mixing is done and the oven can take over.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it. Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 minutes. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it's not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven.
- Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you're using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you're using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles. These brownies are so addictive you'll want to make a second batch before the first is finished, but if you want to make some to hide away for a special occasion, it's useful to know that they'll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, May 2003
Comments, questions and tips
The best brownies I have ever had and I made them myself! Amazing considering I'm not particularly good at cooking. The tops had a thin crispy layer. The insides were squidgy and a total chocfest.
The only thing that could be better for me is that they crumble a lot when I cut them, even if I leave them overnight. Not sure if its due to how long they were cooked for. I needed to leave mine in for an extra 8 minutes to stop the wobble.
Took them to afternoon tea with a toddler group and they had rave reviews! Made two batches already! Easy and tasty, I'm very pleased with the results.
Made these to the exact recipe and they were perfect, by far the best brownies I've had, much better than shop bought ones. They took longer to cook (almost an hour in fact) but my tin is quite high sided and this may have contributed to the extra time. Perfectly moist and oh sooo chocolatey. Perfect and easy to make. .

Best brownies ever - and I ALWAYS choose brownies as a pudding option if I'm at a restaurant! I can honestly say these were absolutely delicious and I am already addicted.
I only had a 150g bar of dark chocolate so I used milk chocolate for the remaining 35g; also, my butter was slightly salted but this made no difference to the taste I feel. My eggs were medium not large, I didn't have golden caster suger so I used 200g normal caster sugar and brown sugar for the remaining 75g - and the final difference, I used all milk chocolate chunks (100g), although I'm sure it would taste amazing with white as well. For cooking time, my middle kept wobbling (see cooking instructions above), so I cooked mine for 30 mins and then an extra 2 x 1:30 mins (removing from oven to test after each 1:30min) - in short, I think these brownie would be very versatile, whack some nuts in there or some raspberries and I'm sure they would still be gorgeous.

Samsung Electronics has announced that it has begun shipping samples of its 32GB DRAM module designed for use in advanced servers, with mass production slated to begin in April 2010.
Samsung is using the industries' highest-density monolithic DDR3 device - a 40nm-class, 4Gb DDR3 chip - as the building block for the new 32GB module. This comes just one year after the company announced its 50nm-class 2Gb based, 16GB registered dual inline memory module (RDIMM) last March.
The 32GB RDIMM consists of 36 dual-die 40nm-class 4Gb DDR3 chips that can perform at equal or greater levels to a 40nm-based 16GB RDIMM with no increase in power consumption.
By equipping a dual CPU, two-way server with 32GB modules, a server system can have up to 384GB of memory. This allows for doubling the previously largest density of 192GBs per server with a power increase of less than five percent over that needed for a 16GB module-based system, teh vendor said.
In addition, replacing 12 DRAM modules of 16GB density with just six 32GB modules would achieve a 192GB total density, while allowing the DRAM operating speed in a two-way server system to rise by 33% from 800 megabit per second (Mbps) to 1,066Mbps, as power is cut by 40%, it said.

BOSTON, Mass. - A Brockton resident was sentenced today in connection with a scheme to create and pass counterfeit checks at various Staples retail stores throughout New England.
MARK FRALICK, 43, of Brockton, was sentenced by the Honorable Mark L. Wolf to 37 months imprisonment to be followed by three years supervised release. FRALICK had previously pleaded guilty to an eighteen-count indictment charging him with wire fraud and making, uttering and possessing counterfeit checks.
From July 2008 through February 2009, FRALICK created hundreds of counterfeit checks using genuine bank routing numbers and fictitious account names and numbers. Using these checks, FRALICK purchased merchandise from various Staples retail stores, usually returning that merchandise for cash before his counterfeit check had bounced. The aggregate value of the merchandise which FRALICK purchased through this scheme was approximately $140,709.28.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Steven Ricciardi, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Secret Service made the announcement today. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Vassili Thomadakis of Ortiz's Economic Crimes Unit.

Lake George tourism businesses fined $120,000 for labor violations
Nov 07, 2007 — Tourist businesses in the Lake George area have been fined more than $120,000 for allegedly cheating their foreign workers. An investigation by New York's Labor Department found that hotels and restaurants were denying wages and violating child labor laws. Labor Department spokesman Chris Perham told the Associated Press that many of the workers were foreign students involved in a work-exchange program. "Some weren't being paid properly," Perham said. "I understand some of them weren't being paid at all." Ramada Express and the Quality Inn and Econo Lodge in Queensbury were among the businesses that agreed to pay the fines. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais, who co-founded a worker support program called The Student Connection, told Brian Mann that the enforcement case began after a worker approached him with a complaint. State officials say much of the 120 thousand dollars in fines will be used to reimburse employees who have returned to their home countries. The tourism businesses affected by the penalty have not returned reporters' calls asking for comment.

Authored by Dr. James S. Corum.
+[Indigenous Forces] +[Counterinsurgency] +[Corum]
The author examines the British experience in building and training indigenous police and military forces during the Malaya and Cyprus insurgencies. These two insurgencies provide a dramatic contrast to the issue of training local security forces. In Malaya, the British developed a very successful strategy for training the Malayan Police and army. In Cyprus, the British strategy for building and training local security forces generally was ineffective. The author argues that some important lessons can be drawn from these case studies that are directly applicable to current U.S. counterinsurgency doctrine.

Lt. Gov. Guadagno to seek reelection with Christie
Governor Christie's campaign announced Tuesday that Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno will join him in seeking reelection, ending nearly a week of speculation that he would choose another running mate.
"After being able to sit down and speak with Kim, I am thrilled that she is going to be part of the team as we seek to serve the people of New Jersey for another four years," Christie said in a statement, the first issued by his campaign.
The governor announced he would run for reelection last week during a news conference on superstorm Sandy in Monmouth County, the same day his campaign filed paperwork declaring his candidacy with the state Election Law Enforcement Commission. But during a news conference in the State House two days later he said he had not yet spoken to Guadagno about whether she would seek another term.
Christie ended talk that Guadagno would be replaced to rest Tuesday saying in a statement she has "made the role of Lt. Governor a unique and valuable one."
"She is a trusted adviser and friend who I'm glad to have as my partner in both reelection and public service," he said.
Guadagno, 53, is the first person to serve as the state's lieutenant governor, a position that voters approved creating in 2005 through a constitutional amendment.
Guadagno also serves as secretary of state and it was not immediately known if she would stay in that job in a second Christie administration. Guadagno was not available for comment Tuesday night when the announcement was made.
If Christie wins next year but leaves early to run for president in 2016, Guadagno would become governor. Under state law, the lieutenant governor fills in only until the next general election, unless that election is less than two months away.
Since taking office along with Christie, Guadagno has been the administration's point person for business development. In 2011, she visited 100 businesses in the state. This year, she ran monthlong tours of life-science and agri-business companies.
She heads the Red Tape Review Commission and the New Jersey Partnership for Action, an increasingly powerful public-private organization that focuses on the state's economic development.

14 Things I Wish I Knew Before Botox
In our Botox community many people look back on their experiences and say, "I wish I had known..." some information prior to undergoing Botox treatment. Here are 14 tips from RealSelf community members that you may find helpful. Feel free to add your own in the comments! --Sharon
1) Everybody Offers Botox. Who Should You Trust?
It's very important to research the person doing your injections. Botox isn't something to take lightly. Having a nurse do mine was my mistake. I'm not saying that there aren't nurses qualified to do Botox. But, in my case she injected too deeply and too low. I have had consultations with two other cosmetic surgeons since my droopy lid. They both said the same thing. Too low, and too deep. [by missesteelaura]
I would definitely suggest going to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for these shots. I once went to a doctor who did this on the side (she was an gynecologist who decided to offer this at her office). The results there were poor. The dermatologist and plastic surgeon who did these on me were great. The results were wonderful! [by paducahapss]
I was at my dentist for a cleaning and I was offered a Botox injection for my wrinkles. I guess they couldn't tell I had Botox last month. I looked up his certifications on the way out and Googled it at home. Wow! He learned it in one weekend. No thank you. I am sure there are gifted superhumans out there but I don't think my dentist is one. [by VancouverFace]
Went to a new clinic and just "knew" after the injections that they weren't done right. I found out that the doctor is a psychiatrist with very little facial Botox experience. [by Sacramento9355]
If you had a bad experience chances are you went to the wrong doctor. I have been to several doctors and there is a very big difference from one to the next. But don't judge by price -- some of the cheap ones are great, some are terrible. Same for the expensive ones. Talk to people and check out the doctor before you go. [by shosho1948]
2) Do Your Homework
Do a bit of research. Don't inject yourself, but look up and read about injection techniques and "off-label" techniques so you know what your injector is up to and what to ask for. The informed patient is the happy patient! [by bb7880]
Before I went in, I researched every horrible thing that could ever happen from Botox and got myself completely freaked out. I went in talking about droopy eyelids and migraine headaches. My doctor completely reassured me and said that had never happened to anyone she had worked on, but was honest about the slight risk. She suggested that we use a very light dose this time and see how it goes. So we did that, and I am so happy with the results. I still can make expressions, but my wrinkles are gone! [by liljgirl]
3) Price
Make sure your doctor charges you "per unit of Botox," NOT "per area of the face." Doctors who do it "per area of the face" are cheating you. [by truecolors]
I got 52 units at $12.50 per unit. Not the cheapest, but administered by a Doctor. It being my first time, I thought it would be better than going to a hairdresser to get it done (funny how some people trust their aesthetician because it's half the price). [by Mr. Rick]
I had Botox on my entire forehead -- I have six continuous horizontal lines across my forehead and I'm only 35. Mine cost $225 for the entire area and was done by an RN / aesthetician who is overseen by a doctor. [by Missmoo]
I think for around your eyes and forehead, Botox is great way to go. It's temporary but it's effective; not too expensive. I pay $350 for the entire treatment session and this lasts three months. [by Kelly A.]
The doctor-owned spa that I go to has $10 per unit specials once a month. [by secretsister]
My preferred doctor charges per Botox session and I prefer it that way. He just does whatever is necessary on my face at that time for a fixed price. Sometimes it's probably a little more and sometimes less. I figure it'll average out. If it turns out to be not enough I get some extra shots later free of charge (this only happened once in three years). So basically I'm paying for the result. When I was charged by unit, I paid twice as much. How do I know how many units I really need or how many I'm getting? It seems some doctors get better results with less units by injecting it the right way. With a fixed price I know what I'm going to pay and I can budget accordingly. [by ErikaM]
4) What's It Like to Get Botox?
Very quick procedure...10 minutes, tops! No anesthetic or numbing medicine required. The needle is so small, you don't need it and there is nothing to be afraid of. I am not a needle person and now have learned to love the needle (HA HA!). Pain of injections on a scale of 1 to 10 was about 1.5, with some areas more sensitive than others. [by RdLlRose]
I felt nothing more than a prick. Went to work an hour later. Nobody noticed a thing. [by Mr. Rick]
5) Pain, Swelling & Bruising
I had some mild red spots at the injection sites, but they were gone the next day. Overall, the discomfort with Botox is very minimal, especially in relation to the phenomenal results. [by mannonj]
I had swelling around the injection sites for five minutes, it was totally gone by the time I left the clinic. I did get some bruising, it was similar to what you get after a blood test, it was easy to cover with makeup and went away in a few days. [by Krystalgem]
6) Botox Results
It took a few days for the results to become apparent (which is normal), but when the Botox took effect it was visibly smooth. Don't be alarmed if it takes a few days to see the results... it will kick in all at once, and you will love what it does to relax the lines that are driving you crazy! I don't have an artificial look at all -- it's just youthful. [by mannonj]
The key is MODERATION. Go conservative. You can always do a little more. Plenty of my friends come back (from their doctor) looking like "the Joker." I have my doctor do just a little... enough to give me lift, to look fresh, but not "different." [by marecat]
I have been very satisfied with Botox on the crease between my eyebrows and bunny lines on the sides of my nose. I do NOT recommend it for any other area! I've had my forehead treated... it made my eyebrows droop. I've had crow's feet treated... it made my cheeks fall. Several people said I looked different (not in a good way). My husband, who notices nothing, noticed the awful results. I've had my lower eyelid injected for creping skin under my eyes... it made the sagging significantly worse. I've had my lips injected for the small lines... couldn't say my "M's" for a month. My lip just hung there. [by Julie7]
7) Botox Side Effects
My dermatologist is skilled but didn't warn me that some people do, in fact, have reactions. No pharmacy-grade medicine out there is 100% safe for all populations. [by Natick]
The only con for me is a droopy lid. Having a droopy or closed eyelid is going to affect the way you feel about yourself. When you shell out hundreds of dollars to look better, you expect to look better. I hate it that I spent so much money and can't enjoy any of the benefits of the Botox because my eye looks so awful. After six weeks and my eye finally looking better, I can say that I will have Botox again. [by missesteelaura]
During an ER visit I was diagnosed as having a reaction to the Botox I received a few days earlier. Nobody in my small town seems to be aware of this, including the dermatologist who administered the Botox. I felt like I was in a fog and extremely sensitive to cold. It took well into nine months for me to feel better. [by GRS]
I had Botox injected and experienced blurred vision. It has not gone away. It's worse when I am in the sun and when I walk. I went to the eye doctor today. The doctor said my vision is 20/20 and they don't see anything wrong. It is extremely frustrating. After five weeks it finally started going away. I thought it was going to drive me insane. I tried everything: Eye patch, several kinds of eye drops, ice, massage the eye. Unfortunately nothing worked. All you can do is wait it out. It still isn't 100 percent, but it is much better. [by Michell07]
I get a severe headache for weeks after Botox injections! None of the docs ever seem to care. Allergan told me a percentage of people do get a headache for a couple of weeks and you just have to wait it out. Never again for me! [by berykute1]
The results were stunning, but Botox does definitely make you feel a little weird. I had no bruising or swelling at the injection sites, but I was a little ill after each treatment a few days later (nothing terrible though). [by ClaireK]
8) Getting Rid of Botox
Time and patience. That's it in a nutshell. I'm five months post-op and only recently feeling better. No magic cure. It's no secret, it's just when your body is ready to get rid of it! [by Trippy65]
It is so strange to me that licensed practices that inject this stuff give you no warning or suggestions for an antidote. I too tried massaging, heat... hoping it would get out of my system quicker. It's the "over thinking" that makes it all worse. But let me say: It will stop and your life will get back to normal. [by Uh Oh]
9) How Long Does Botox Last?
It usually lasts for about three months on me... the longest lasting about five months. [by paducahapss]
Some people with metabolic differences may "soak it up" quickly. I have some (serious) bodybuilding friends that required Botox every two months initially to get it going. [by bb7880]
The Botox honestly lasts me between 6-9 months and when it does wear off my wrinkles are nowhere near as deep as they used to be. (You can't create more or deeper wrinkles if you can't make them.) [by Vanessa]
10) Botox May Change More Than a Few Wrinkles
Be careful. I got Botox done for frown lines and now look even more angry and serious than I did before. If you are someone who looks pretty when you smile or when you lift up your eyebrows, you might not like the way Botox on the brow makes you look. I know after I got mine done, people have stopped laughing at my jokes and get offended when I make a sarcastic comment, because I don't look like I'm kidding. [by aboutface]
You relax the muscle in one area and that affects another. My crow's feet are gone but my under eye now has awful bags and wrinkles. I would never do this again. I embrace my crow's feet and can't wait for them to come back actually. [by Amaxy]
Botox has fully taken effect now and my forehead looks unbelievable! Literally took five years off... not to mention, it lifted my eyes up and opened them up way more! [by RdLlRose]
When I got Botox at 38, I seriously couldn't believe how great I looked. I really did look more like 29. It was very natural looking. It messes up your judgment, a bit. I got sucked into the idea that my value is tied to my looks. My kids didn't care about my wrinkles and neither did my husband. [by Natick]
Think long and hard before getting Botox around your eyes as it has ruined my face. I had Botox between my eyebrows for frown lines twice before and I was really pleased with the results. I should never have thought that just because it was a success in that area it would be a success around my eyes. The eyes are such an important feature in our faces: They show laughter, sadness, fear, etc. Once you take away the eyes' ability to show emotion, you do not look real. [by Beth F]
11) Preventative Botox
One suggestion I will give to the younger ladies (and guys) out there: If you know you don't like wrinkles, start getting Botox BEFORE they set in. When you smile or frown, the lines you see will eventually permanently crease in your skin. I wish I could have gotten to my frown lines five years ago. Now I may need to spend much more money for fillers. [by aboutface]
12) Botox Isn't Just for Wrinkles
I got Botox in my neck and shoulders for pain after a fusion. They gave me two full syringes each time. [by Della Palladino]
I receive Botox in my brow furrow, forehead, crow's feet, and also he injects me just above the outer third of my eyebrow, creating a very cool arch that I normally don't have. This is called an Anterior Brow Lift. I really love this. [by Yecatsr]
I had Botox for hyperhidrosis under my arms about 16 months ago (50 units, each arm). [by jellycar27]
I had my first Botox injections and had great results for not only deep-set frown lines but, miraculously, my migraines, which plagued me daily, were gone! However, the Botox wore off in two months and my migraines returned. I believe that Botox is the answer for migraine sufferers. [by Rhee1985]
I have had terrible muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders for 30 years. It is constant and painful. On a scale of 10 for relief, the best chiropractors might make a two and the treatment lasts maybe a few weeks. But Botox is awesome! I had seven shots in each side from the edge of my shoulders up to high on my neck. The relief was easily an eight, and lasted several months. It was the best I had felt since the problem started. [by 4096anon]
13) Does Botox Train Your Muscles?
I was told, with extended use, Botox might last longer. For me, this is not the case. I still get Botox about every three months, even after years of having it done, but it is worth it! [by paducahapss]
It is strange not to be able to move your forehead muscles when you are used to making faces. But, my doctor claims that a few years of training myself not to flex those muscles will take a decade off my face by the time I'm 50 and I believe him. I do not at all look frozen or mask like -- no one knows I've done anything except the few people I've told. [by ClaireK]
I notice that the more I get it, the less I need it because it causes my muscles to stop wrinkling my skin, and over time my skin looks smoother and smoother. It is a great investment! [by Krystal]
I haven't found that my muscles have gotten trained to relax the wrinkles, so I still require the same routine visits as when I started. [by Kelly A.]
14) Expert Tips From Long-Time Botox Fans
I have been getting Botox for more than 10 years for frown lines. Although I was hooked from the start I was often surprised to find that sometimes I had great results and other times not so great. I have learned that some doctors are better injectors than others and that fresh Botox (reconstituted on the same day) is far better than day-old or week-old Botox. [by octonc]
I get "toxed" with 50 iu (international units) to my brow, glabella and crow's feet approximately every 4-6 months. For me it was important to allow the Botox to help me retrain my muscles. Now that's hard to explain, but I'd watch myself in the mirror and keep myself from making certain movements. When I felt that "heavy" feeling while making certain brow expressions it was an indication that I shouldn't make that movement. [by bb7880]

Just got my third Set of Botox injections today. Initially got it done because my five year old asked why I was angry all the time lol ! I do feel the heaviness and a little "off" feeling currently, but I went to a MD to have it done, referred by someone who had it done by him, he always uses a fresh bottle...schedules all patients in the same one or two day period. Love the results from the last two times...looking forward to two days from now when I lose 10 years off my face! Tension headaches are usually gone within two weeks . However....remember if you are thinking about doing this for the first time... You are getting something shot into your face. Yes it will hurt, yes you probably should start with a small area until you see the results, yes! You should use a doctor that does this regularly and get a recommendation from someone who looks great! I'm 44, I want to look my age but with a more pleasant appearance so Botox works for me. Good luck and do your research .

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be, but with most people it seems to pass through their system in 3-4 months. Some people have mentioned that lots of water, green tea, and exercise have seemed to help speed the process.

I had the same. It is very frightening. Botox is a toxin and we have been toxically poisoned. I used to train and have heaps of energy and now I can barely walk the dog. I have a rasping cough that wont go away and neck and chest pain that is going on for months. DONT GET BOTOX! It has ruined my life

I am 33 and just got Botox for the first time to treat three deep horizontal lines across my forehead, plus very deep 11 lines between my brows. (I know, you must be thinking how bad could it be at 33? I'm telling you, they were VERY bad. I remember being self conscious about the horizontal lines back in my COLLEGE days!) It's been life changing! What used to be my least favorite part of my face is now one of my favorites. Within three days, the horizontal lines were G-O-N-E and within two weeks my deep 11s are barely noticeable. I had it done at a very reputable dermatologist's office in Boca Raton, FL. I spent $300 for the whole thing (she said because I'm younger I didn't need as much-- typically it's $400). I am a Botox believer. Even my boyfriend who was originally dead set against it admits it looks amazing. I look younger, and way more awake. Botox for life!

Hi, I am having botox for hiperhydrosis in my forehead next week, has anyone had this done and was it effective. I don't want the dreaded sagging as the treatment is really not for cosmetic reasons! Thanks in advance

One thing to keep in mind is experience. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists don't really learn how to do Botox in residency - it's all through pay for weekend courses and experience that they seek out, including electives. Therefore any physician who has the experience is capable of doing it. I know a psychiatrist, of course a md, who does it daily and does a fantastic job because of experience.
- Reply
Yeah, I guess my concern would be that a psychiatrist wouldn't have been as thoroughly trained in anatomy as a plastic surgeon...plus I would question why a psychiatrist would choose to inject botox when it really doesn't seem relevant to their specialty.

I just turned 50 in December and I dont have alot of wrinkles but did not like the crows feet and frown lines. I hate needles and was really scared to get botox. I got it even though I said I would never do it. I have to say I loved the results and can understand how people get hooked. I am making an appointment to get it again. I have been told I look to be in my 30s by people who do not know me and dont know I had botox. I got it on my forehead, crows feet and frown lines. I love it and will keep it up as long as I can afford it. Try it, I think you will love it too.
