Merines At DSL

Has this scenario ever happened to you, personally I hope not. Just checking your site out to breeze over your latest revisions, everything is fine and you leave for a few minutes. Upon returning, you try to access your site and - Blammo - your site is down. At this point you only have a few emotions that resemble a hybrid of sheer panic, stress and anxiety as you attempt to access your website time and time again and it’s still off-line.

Granted, if you have a website that is visited from search engine spiders once a month, or every few weeks it no big deal right?
But to a thriving website with loads of traffic, a great reputation or lots of activity this can be disastrous. Down time from a bad server, or for lack of better terms digital gremlins that are known to show their faces from time to time can result in a dramatic dip in rankings (if search engines are attempting to access your site), loss of existing clients trying to access your site, or worse yet potential clients trying to reach your site for the first time being greeted with an error (not your best first impression right?).

So, what can you do? Screaming at your internet service provider or website host won’t help, maybe for a few minutes as your blood stops boiling, but instead here is a nifty little tool that you can use to check your server to see if all is up to par, just in case.

Personally having gone through one of the most agonizing hours of downtime in life of my website from switching to a dedicated IP address. The sense of helplessness that accompanies the experience is something you would only wish on your #1 competitor. One can only cross their fingers in the hopes that the server resolves and your back to business within a few minutes instead of days (which has been known to happen).

Server side issues can bring a business to it’s knees, so make sure that your website host can pass the muster and has 24 hour tech support to deal with real life circumstances as they unfold. Your online reputation is at stake and you are only as strong as your weakest link. Don’t let trying to save a few bucks on a hosting plan vs. getting a plan that can handle some serious bandwidth be the end of your website address as you knew it.

If you plan on doing SEO or article marketing for your website, make sure your servers handle the increased activity. Quite frankly, making the wrong decision regarding your hosting plan could result in your website getting buried from a top story at Digg by some heavy traffic (as website unavailable) or being able to fully capitalize on a newsworthy event that is directing droves of traffic to your site. Expect the best but plan for the worst so at least when or if it ever happens to you, you know what is causing the problem and can assist in diagnosing and fixing it in the least amount of time possible.

The only thing nearly as frustrating is having your DSL go down or you lose the ability to connect to the internet, but that is another post / rant in its entirety.

There is a mold that exists in the southwestern United States, different areas of South America, and the deserts of Mexico that the majority of people are not aware of when they visit the area.  The people the most at risk for coming into contact with this mold are construction workers and archeologists, because they dig around in the soil where this mold tends to be found.  What is it called and just how dangerous is it really? 

Coccidioides immitis causes a skin disease that has been referred to as “Valley Fever” by some, but as Coccidioidomycosis to physicians.  The features of this skin disease are typically rashes, coughing, myalgia, rashes, and headaches.  Myalgia is synonymous with “muscle pain” and this can be a sign or symptom of many other different kinds of diseases, not just Valley Fever.  The usual cause of myalgia is the over-use of a specific muscle or possibly an entire set of muscles.  If a person does not have a medical history of overworking or accidents, then the myalgia is probably being caused by a bacterial or even a viral infection.  If it is present in a person chronically, then it could possibly be a sign of some deficiency in the person’s nutrition.

The disease is known to be endemic in the states of New Mexico, California, and Arizona. 

The most common cause of C. immitis exposure is due to the digging or disturbing of soil that has been contaminated.  For the mold spores to get into the air and allow you to inhale them, this contaminated soil typically needs to be wet and recently, in order for archeologists to be able to dig in soil in the southwestern United States, they have ordered the soil be saturated with water first to avoid this exposure.  This has been put into practice not only with archeologists, but also any other occupation that involves digging into the soil.  Soil can also be stirred up due to natural disasters such as earthquakes or dust storms.

Those at the risk for developing the most serious aspects of the disease can include those who are pregnant and in their third trimester, African Americans, Asians, and anyone with a weakened immune system, such as those who have HIV or AIDS.  Severe pulmonary disease could develop in these individuals in addition to the skin rashes, fever, and other symptoms that are associated with Valley Fever.
