"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
Romans 7:14-25

Cack, this is not possible..
Moderators need to be able to reach all members from posts..
I.e if you do write sommething that should not really be allowed here (of course I know you would not do that ) then they should be able to reply and comment on it and you should be able to see that..
I think ignoring blocks pm's too, although i have to check on that....
Mods cannot block you either Cack, so don't think you are alone lol...
I would prefer it the way it is, but I might look into it anyway in case I change my mind...
What is the point in the ignore list?
Even if I block a mod, I'm only an e-mail away....
Fix it dammit.
Did anybody hear anything ?
I did, it sounded like chicken daddy and cloughface getting it on...
hmm perhaps it was a cat outside...

La Biennale di Venezia
The Exhibition with a Thousand FacesNovember 15, 2013
This reflection on the power of imagination and boldness provided a particularly fitting setting to celebrate Swatch's 30th birthday. Much perseverance was needed to stand by the risky approach of saving a conservative, dying watch industry with such an original project. However, this challenge was ably met by the members of the future Swatch development team. Convinced of the power of their vision, a few determined individuals managed to impose their utopian concept. This inclination towards innovation was immediately replicated in the special relationship that the brand quickly forged with the creative sector, especially the contemporary art world.
With verve and humour, Nick Hayek referred to this long-standing partnership at the official press conference of the 55th International Art Exhibition : "There has always been a mutual attraction between Swatch and artists. For them, it was a unique opportunity to show their works outside the usual museums and art galleries. They discovered that a watch could become a canvas worn on the wrist."
By inviting numerous artists to decorate its models, Swatch has indisputably played a role in sharpening people's sensitivity to art. Swatch defied social and geographical barriers, and made it possible for anyone to proudly display their artistic side.
In some cases, it helped to awaken an underlying passion for art in budding contemporary art aficionados. Massimiliano Gioni readily admits to being one of them : "Like many people of my generation — I was born in 1973 — I grew up in a visual environment which was shaped by Swatch to a large extent. The first time I saw the model designed by Keith Haring, it had just as big an impact on me as my first Andy Warhol exhibition. Swatch understood that art can be anywhere, and that was a message that many artists at that time were sharing." Thirty years later, Swatch is just as attuned to the messages of contemporary art. The different elements used in Swatch_Faces were proof of this. The aim was to celebrate these 30 years of creativity, innovation, provocation and, above all, unwavering support for the art world.
In the middle of the Giardini, a wall was filled with the portraits and works of artists in residence at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai. This installation created a link between Venice and China which, thanks to an extensive programme of parallel events, was om nipresent at this edition of the Biennale. This reference to the Swatch Art Peace Hotel also evoked the spirit of openness which is at the heart of this artistic residence project. As Carlo Giordanetti, Creative Director at Swatch, emphasised : "It's about preserving the spirit of this unique historic place, while providing an exceptional environment and conditions for creation. Everything is done to ensure that artists from all backgrounds can express themselves under ideal conditions."

The Rock first electrified at Survivor Series
By Scott Fishman
The 1996 Survivor Series from Madison Square Garden had its share of memorable matches and moments.
Bret Hart made his return to WWE against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the first chapter of their legendary career. The Undertaker got his revenge on Mankind, and Sycho Sid defeated Shawn Michaels for the WWE championship.
Despite all of this history made, there was one other happening that would alter the course of the company forever.
The third generation superstar The Rock, then named Rocky Maivia made his big debut. He made one of the most impressive first impressions in company history. He not only competed with legends like Jerry Lawler and Jake "The Snake" Roberts, he did it successfully.
He was the sole survivor for his team against some of WWE's top talent at the time. I'm talking Goldust and Hunter Hearst Helmsley (Triple H). The son of Rocky Johnson and grandson of "High Chief" Peter Maivia had arrived in MSG.
It took some time before the talented former University of Miami Hurricane to find himself and develop his true persona, but when he did it was electric.
The months that followed Survivor Series saw Rock capture the intercontinental championship from Triple H and defend the gold against the Sultan at his first WrestleMania.
Two years after his introduction, Rock captured the WWE championship in the finals of a tournament. It was a controversial decision, but he defeated Mankind and solidified himself as a main event superstar.
The Rock's meteoric rise and journey through sports entertainment began at the Survivor Series. It shows how important these traditional elimination matches can be for careers. Look what it did for Randy Orton, who has outlasted opponents on more than one occasion.
Ironically, Orton is also a third generation superstar. Maybe one day we will see both men collide in a singles encounter?
With the exception of maybe The Undertaker, you can say the Hollywood heavyweight had the best WWE debut at Survivor Series. From that faithful night of November 17, 1996 we could smell what The Rock was cookin'.

Returning To Pathos Lyrics - Dusk
[December 1997]
Return from yourself, the reaper of my fields
Return, for you are needed.
For the one yet to be born.
The child cries out your name, the night whispers to me
In the streets the screams are alive.
And they will always be.
White veils hanging still, waiting for you and me.
The forest still awaits, let us run...across.
Return, for the morning maybe never.
And the breeding is still untouched.
Return, maybe I fade away.
Before the sun, but not the stares.
They still weep the centuries in your name.
For the moon still is what it was
...Your name and the closed gate.
The stares shine for hours, like the fields never reaped
Return for the sun that has it's wings widespread.
The horizons sleep in a story
My feelings glare at thee.
As their mornings end, my mourning begins.
My pain is much for you; I shall let you breathe,
Open skies tasteful depths, green seas and you and me.
Return, since I caress the young. Since pathos burns in me,
Merge me; blend me, into sorrow.
Shade me with trees of grief
Touch me; winds of pain come touch me,
Burn me pathos; burn me if you can,
Now that what I have become,
Time is in immortal soils.
Sing, and dance for my return.

From denial to split: 2 days Only weeks into their marriage, Kardashian and her basketball-playing husband fended off rumors that things were already falling apart. "Something I really prepared Kris for [was] to let him know that no matter what we do, there's going to be rumors," she said at a Halloween bash on Oct. 29. Hit the fast-forward button – ever so lightly – and only two days later, Kardashian was already filing for divorce from her husband of 72 days.

Will Owen's Kalua Roast Pork--Wonderful (w/PHOTO)
- f
- Funwithfood May 30, 2006 11:22 AM
Thanks Will for this outstanding recipe!
I had an 8# boneless pork shoulder; used 3 T Kosher salt, 2 1/2 T liquid smoke and put it in a large Ziploc bag overnight. The next morning I wrapped it in foil and cooked it at 275 for 7 1/2 hours, then pulled down the foil and convection cooked it at 375 for one more hour to crisp up the exterior.
The juices/fat looked so yummy, so I dipped my buns in it and grilled them--mmm! We pulled the pork and put it on top of the buns, then poured BBQ sauce over--pure heaven!
re: Niki Rothman
For this I just used what we had on hand. We received a Harry & David jar of BBQ sauce as a gift, was very good on this.
re: jjj
Yes. Below is a photo of the inside.
re: Funwithfood
oh my god , meaty goodness and scrummy porkiness
Fabulous! This recipe is one of the best things I've got off this board--and that's really saying something, as I use tips and recipes from this board all the time.
Thanks for sharing the photos too.
re: Seattle Rose
Sure :)
P.S. A few hours after it is roasting the foil package begins to ooze juices, so place a bit of water in the bottom of the pan (at the beginning or when you observe them leaking out) to prevent them from burning.
One of the things I love so much about this kind of forum is that everyone takes a recipe and then pretty much puts his or her own spin on it. The meat I use is always a skinned Boston butt, and I'd never do anything to crisp the exterior - I want wall-to-wall meltingness, please - but that piece of pig looks awful damn good anyway. I'm thrilled you did it that way and delighted that you liked it. And if you see fit to thank me for it, then you're certainly welcome!
Don't know if I'd'a dipped my buns in it, though... ;-)
re: Will Owen
Actually, I mis-stated--it was skinless, just looks crispy because of the high cooking at the end.
P.S. Should have said I dipped my *hamburger* buns it the juices! (Don't make the same mistake I did though, make sure the grill is greased before grilling those delicious, savory buns!)

After several hours without service, phones are now ringing again for most AT&T cell phone customers in the Lexington area.
Many customers say they lost service around 10, or earlier, Thursday morning.
By 3 Thursday afternoon, AT&T officials said service to most customers had been restored.
AT&T officials say the outage affected both 2G and 3G customers.
The following is a statement from AT&T spokesperson Cathy Lewandowski that 27 NEWSFIRST received Thursday afternoon:
"Our 2G and 3G wireless customers in Lexington were experiencing a temporary service interruption while placing or making phone calls earlier this morning in the Lexington and Nicholasville, KY areas. AT&T technicians are on site, investigating the root cause of this morning's service interruption.
We will work with each customer affected by the service outage to reach a solution that addresses their specific situation and the impact the service outage may have had on their services from AT&T."
For more information, AT&T customers are being told to dial 611 on their cell phones, or call 800-331-0500 (mobility service), 888-757-6500 (residential service), or 866-620-6000 (business service).
Many customers had been using their land line phones to call 611, which when called on a cell phone, goes to customer service.
But when called on a land line phone, 611 is rerouted to 911 instead.
Police dispatchers in Lexington and surrounding areas say they received many calls Thursday meant for AT&T customer service agents. They ask people not to dial 611 on their land line phones, unless it is a true emergency.
AT&T officials say once service is restored, customers can call AT&T Customer Service for a possible credit, because of the outage.
Meanwhile, a problem in Georgia affected Windstream customers in Kentucky as well Thursday morning.
A disruption between two switches caused an interruption of service.

In the past year I have "done" several road race events, some of which I was in good training for, some not so much. This morning I was reflecting on the fact that my training has really fallen off in the past couple of months, and yet, I put in the fastest 5K of my athletic year yesterday afternoon.
I don't care to do it again (race without training better), and I have to wonder if I would have done better with regular training runs, or if I did better becauses my body had more rest time? I will probably never know.
I signed up for the Governor's Cup the same time I signed on for the Buffalo Run. I knew I was not training for the 5 miles for Buffalo Run and was very happy with my time for it. But I figured (back then) that I had six weeks to resume proper training before the Governor's Cup.
Then "Life" intervened in the form of overtime and a rebellious attitude, and that proper training didn't happen. The Susan G. Komen run got "tucked in" to the schedule, and rebelliously skipped. I half-heartedly did some run-walk workouts on the treadmill, but more on the order of once a week, not three days.
I kept walking on my work breaks, and I did the occasional strength workout, but seriously, I was more focussed on just keeping my head above water. I had my little tantrums, my scary food binge thing, and a lot of second-guessing along the way.
Then, for better or worse, I went out and did it. This morning? Still sneezing. Some muscles reminding me they would have liked a better prep for what they need to do. But overall, not too bad.
I am not signing up for the Jingle Bell (arthritis 5K, November) or the Holiday run (December, track club 5K). I don't want to run if I'm not properly training. And I have to figure out just how much training time I have room for... either that, or an event that grabs my vision enough to make training a priority. But you never know... a last minute change of heart?
And that will be the focus of this week, figuring out "what's next". Life's good. Spark on!
Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo! I went running drugged with Zyrtec, which I took this morning.
I got through the race, and in good time, too. 5K in 30:53, for a sub-ten minute mile pace. I am thrilled with my performance... I did not run the whole way, dropped to walk multiple times throughout the course, but to finish with an average 9:57 mile, that means I was pushing it when I *did* run, and those walking breaks were power walks.
However, all that leaf mould and dust? My goodness... I was sneezing up a storm on the way back to the car. And all the way home. Still draining now, two hours later. I just hope I haven't damaged myself for the work week ahead.
And this wraps the season of Barb's athleticism. No more 5K's this year. Gotta start thinking about what's next. But for now? Endorphins rule.
The body was ready to be up at the usual time, despite my having turned the alarm off. My Saturday early morning tradition has become watching the streaming video of the most recent "Biggest Loser" show, and usually working out while they work out.
I varied this today, as I didn' t want to overdo workouts today, since I have decided I really do want to do that 5K tomorrow afternoon... so kind of tapering? Or, just putting rest at the top of the list.
Did a bunch of Saturday errands, tucking in getting my bib and timing chip for tomorrow's event. I also bought replacement batteries for my digital food scale... who knew I'd wear them out... I can't remember exactly when I bought this scale, but I'm thinking five years. Not bad for battery life.
I got the car's oil changed. Hacked a bit more at the shrubbery. It keeps coming ba-ack! Rewarded myself with a walk with my book before supper. Food was good and healthy... I made my fat free cream of tomato soup: Chobani greek yogurt (plain) stirred into low sodium tomato juice, and zapped in the microwave. Yum!
To put just the right end on the day, I'm thinking early bedtime. Life's good. Last weekend's rebellion is a distant memory. Feeling good again! Spark on.
I'm in the midst of reading one of those great big books: a historical novel, set in the days before Henry II took the throne of England. The author, Sharon Kay Penman, is a historian in her own right, so her books are full of fact and flavor mixed in with the surmise. She always explains at the end which was which, in her author's notes. I have enjoyed her works.
Being me, I have to project from what I'm reading into the Sparkverse... I'm reading of a struggle for the crown. Of men and women who lead and those who follow. It dawns on me that we are much the same in our struggle for any prize.
Take fitness and weight loss (after all, this is Sparkpeople), for example. Often we are taken by an inspiring story that we see around us. A friend or family member has enjoyed success. We might be among their supporters and cheerleaders. And then it hits: the realization that we could have this prize for ourselves! And we follow their lead.
We have some success, perhaps, and suddenly, one day we find there are others cheering us on, and following OUR lead!
The really neat thing about this particular prize? It's not a one-winner prize. Everyone who enters the struggle to achieve it is a winner to one degree or another. This is a crown we all can wear.
The people struggling for the crown in the historical novel are doing so because of their lineage and claim. They are limited to some degree by the strength of that claim, yet still, they enter the battle, and find their place in their world.
As human beings, we have the lineage to claim mastery of our own bodies. We may be limited somewhat by circumstance or genetics... after all, we've got what we've got to work with. But we have the choice to strive to make it the best it can be.
So go for it... follow the ideal, or follow a friend... and lead yourself to your crown. Because you're worth it.
Woke up with the sinus headache miseries. I'd been feeling it coming on last night when the sneezies hit. I took my Zyrtek this morning. I will likely resort to Advil throughout the day, as needed. Despite all that, I just don't feel at the top of my game. Yeah, I know, break out the cheese to go with the whine. Lots of other people have it far worse. Nothing like self-pity to make a person ug-ly!
Trained by a "mean mom", I went through the checklist of "how sick are you, really"? My mind pondered fuzzily over whether today might be a "light" enough day at work to stay home and nurse myself. When I remembered one (and that's all it took) of the things on my calendar... it was an immediate "No". Now if I was "really sick" (as our mothers used to say)... thinking about that item on the calendar would have had me saying "I can't possibly do that in this condition." But I didn't. I said, "Oh, I need to do that! So-and-so is relying on me." It was not one of those "I'm a martyr" attitudes that accompanied the thought, either. It was more "I'm looking forward to this task". That tells me to keep moving forward. If I'm "really sick" my body will tell me... later.
Routine on a day like this is indeed my friend, because... in this semi-not up to speed state... routine doesn't require me to think... just go through the motions of getting ready for a work day. Even down to my morning pep talk.
I also know from experience, that once I get to work (different combination of allergens), I might just feel better anyway!
Here's to an improving day! Spark on, my friends!

DETROIT — The Detroit News reported that the prospect of the state's new Regional Transit Authority getting funded is in question, which may stymy transportation goals for the region. Transit officials told the paper they feel certain there's legislative support for the authority to receive $1.7 million in a supplemental appropriations bill. However, if the funding falls through, the authority's only option may be to siphon money from local transit providers such as the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation and Detroit Department of Transportation. A spokesman for the state budget director told The Detroit News that no decision has been made to put the funding request in the bill. For the full story, click here.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

Alert System
Hey,I don't know if it would be possible on this type of boards but you guys should really think about implementing a alert system, kind've like the one you have on Facebook.IGN.com use a system designed after it on their forums and it works great,basically it'll simply let you know when someone has quoted your comment,or posted in a thread you made.
Look here to see what I'm talking about.Hell make an account and check it out to see for yourselves.
Re: Alert System
I asked about this months ago, apparently they see it as a completely useless system having no value to anybody on here.
Re: Alert System
This system does exist and is very useful, unfortunately it is not available on the vBulletin software that VerticalScape has installed for this forum as of now they aren't willing to upgrade to a newer version. The servers probably can't handle an upgraded software anyway.

Moving to Ithaca from LA--any eats out here?
- y
- Yummy Sound Apr 26, 2006 02:51 AM
Hi! I am a chowhound from Los Angeles and like great fresh ethnic food, good diners, and funky spots for desserts and coffee. Any recommendations for good eats out around Ithaca--sorely appreciated! I am moving in early summer. I also hope to visit NYC at least once a month.
Well, I haven't lived in the area for many years, but it is a great area for restaurants (especially considering it's rural setting). IIRC, there was some sort of statistic that used to be thrown around that Ithaca had more restaurants than anywhere in NY state outside of NYC.
BUT, for diners in the area (my forte), get down to Horseheads for a breakfast at Sullivan's- a beautiful, well-kept Silk City that has great food. (I used to like to stop in for dinner if I was going to an Elmira Suns minor league baseball game, too.) I think I read that the diner was sold by the Sullivans but is still run the same (hopefully). Maybe one of my all-time favorite diners.
In Owego, there's a nice funky diner, Harris Diner, sort of a cement, barrel-roofed affair with a great, cheap breakfast. There's a similar "home made" diner around the corner, with barrel-roof and brick front.
Also, the beautiful Red Robin Diner in Johnson City and Danny's Diner in Binghamton (you'll pass thru the area on the way to NYC). Both can be found on http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurants/ search for New York state + diners.
There was also this neat little diner on the main drag in Waverly, NY- only a few stools and no tables, it may have been a Valentine diner. Worth checking out- the whole town used to feel like stepping back in time (some interesting bars, as well).
In Penn Yan, try the Penn Yan Diner.
Hopefully, all or most of these places still exist (unlike my home state of New Jersey, where many of the classic diners I used to visit are destroyed, "re-modeled" or shipped out of state.)
Haven't been to Ithaca in about 10 years, but it is known for excellent restaurants. One obvious recommendation is the famous Moosewood Restaurant. Vegetarian and run by a "collective", Moosewood has published several good cookbooks. You can take a look at them in any bookstore. Also, read through their website, which I think is moosewoodrestaurant.com . Apparently, Bon Appétit magazine named the Moosewood one of the 13 most influential restaurants of the 20th century.
My cousin-in-law who has lived in Ithaca since college (never left) and who has parents who met there recommends this site. He comes from a long line of opinionated foodies.
Don't worry, you're not in a bad place... especially given the rural nature of the area, you're within an hour radius of a surfeit of decent to excellent food. Definitely LOTS to choose from in terms of funky little coffeeshops/dessert places in Ithaca... I haven't been in a while, and there tends to be some turnover (it *is* a college town), but just do some exploring and I'm sure you'll find something in short order.
We'll definitely have to wean you off california wines (ps., even though they changed the laws, you still can't get wines in our grocery stores here)... the Finger Lakes region really doesn't produce anything I'd call good red wine (possibly with the exception of cab franc), but some of the better producers in the area produce the best rieslings in the US.
I HIGHLY reccomend one of your first stops on moving out there is doing a saturday morning/lunch at the Ithaca farmer's market down on the south end of the lake when the weather is nice. There's some really great unique stuff to be had there, both in terms of foods, plants, and crafts, and you can get a good cheap ethnic lunch to eat on the lake, and then chase it down with some homemade baked goods, or gourmet cider.
You're not very far also from Skaneateles, which has one place -- Mirbeau -- that sounds like something you'd really love, and also Syracuse, which has a few very good ethnic places if you know where to look (quicklist: kyoko in fayetteville for sushi, lemongrass, little thai house, or erawan for thai, tokyo seoul for korean, china road for chinese, and of course, the non-ethnic but friggin' awesome dinosaur bbq).
I hope you enjoy your time out there... ENJOY THE SUMMER AND FALL!!! Seriously. It's gorgeous out there, the sunsets are incredible, and when the season's over you're going to experience a winter so dreary and long and miserable you're going to wish you were back in LA sitting in a traffic jam on the 101. ;-)
All of the Thai restaurants in Ithaca are fabulous. Some say even better than the best in NYC.
Against popular opinion, I would say that Moosewood is hugely overrated, terrible, in fact. The food is very bland and over-priced. Last time I walked in there (and subsequently turned around) the special was "rice and beans" for $10. There are too many cooks stirring the pots who now have kids at college age, so I guess they decided it was time to make a profit.
re: Pat P
You are correct about Moosewood as a place whose time has past. There are lots of other places where you can get some good food: the recommendations for the farmers market and Thai restaruants are right on. On my last visit we enjoyed a very good meal at Pangea and Just a Taste is a decent wine bar with good small plates. Gimme Coffee pulls a great espresso shot.
re: pixlpi
Just googled it: 120 3rd. St. - it is tricky to find, www.pangearestaurant.com . I don't live in Binghamton anymore, but visit frenquently. And I didn't realize I was required to have a profile!
No need to travel all over the countryside to find great food- - there ARE many good places right in Ithaca. Plus, winter is pretty harsh and I wouldn't risk those hills for a meal in Binghamton or Syracuse (at least not Dec-March).
Moosewood is not so bad, but I agree that it is overrated. I also agree about the Thai- all good, but I think the place across from Wegmans is the best. Hit Stella's for coffee & pastries. Collegetown bagels and Ithaca bakery for sandwiches. Manos and State Street diners are pretty standard greasy spoons (good), open all night! There are also some pretty good NY style pizzarias (far better than what you probably would get on the west coast). I hear Joe's restaurant has reopened- got good reveiws. And start hitting those wineries!! Some of them have attached restaurants/cafes that are good. The Farmers market IS great- Ithaca is a very GREEN town. Also- new places open and close in a heartbeat in the Commons and Collegetown, so you have to take your chances. Sadly- there isn't really any good Mexican around. But Wegmans has lots of ethnic and hard to find ingredients- make your own! Good luck.

Works of art by Herbert Creecy hang in one of the galleries at the Hudgens Center for the Arts. Creecy's artwork is one of three new collections being displayed at the gallery.
DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Institute of Arts is opening its new exhibit dedicated in part to forgery.
"Fakes, Forgeries, and Mysteries" runs Sunday through April 10. It explains the science and research behind figuring out whether works are authentic artworks and highlights mistakes and other discoveries made over the years about pieces of the museum's extensive collection.
The exhibit draws on the experience and work of the museum's own experts.
One gallery displays works once thought to be authentic but later found to be copies or stylistic replicas. Another section shows forgeries made to deceive. And another focuses on puzzles that remain about certain works.

Cortisone is a hormonal steroid naturally produced by the adrenal gland and manufactured synthetically as a drug in the corticosteroid class of drugs. Corticosteroids act as anti-inflammatories, reducing the inflammation caused by a number of conditions, and also suppress the immune system. The production of cortisone was discovered at the Mayo Clinic and first manufactured by Merck & Co. It is available by prescription in the form of tablets and topical creams and is also administered by injection.
Injections of cortisone are commonly administered to patients suffering from localized joint or muscle pain resulting from conditions such as carpal tunnel, and injury to excessively used joints, such as the shoulder or knee. As opposed to oral doses, which are absorbed by the body gradually over a period of time, injections allow for immediate and targeted relief of localized inflammation and pain. These injections often contain an additional pain reliever intended to provide immediate numbing and relief from pain, while the corticosteroid works within a day or two. Cortisone injections can provide lasting relief for several weeks.
Oral doses are more effective at treating widespread inflammation and joint pain, such as arthritis. In addition to treating pain and inflammation caused by arthritis, injury, and other conditions, cortisone is sometimes used to treat endocrine disorders, allergic reactions, skin conditions and disorders, as well as some respiratory disorders and other conditions.
Side effects of cortisone vary and some can be dangerous. Adverse reactions include sodium and fluid retention, potassium loss, muscle weakness, abdominal discomfort, and immune system suppression. While cortisone acetate may be prescribed in immunosuppressant doses, the complications of a suppressed immune system can occur in any patient, especially with long-term use. These complications include infection, vulnerability to infection and viruses, and difficulty with wounds healing.
A medical professional may recommend cortisone in any form to treat a variety of conditions and complications. Patients should remember to tell their healthcare providers about any other medications they may be taking. It is also important to remember not to have any "live" virus immunizations while taking corticosteroids.
Post 2
@StarBanobo: Cortisone is a member of the corticosteroid family and is used as an anti-inflammatory. Corticosteroids should not be confused with anabolic steroids which are known for their use (or abuse) by athletes who take them for their muscle and strength building properties.
Abuse and side effects are still possible, so cortisone should be taken only under a doctor's care.
Post 1
Is cortisone one of the anabolic steroids steroids that have been used by athletes?
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
