On the home stretch with www.TaggZilla.com coding. A few minor issues with Internet Explorer remain. The main ones have been knocked out. I don’t know how coders can stare at the screen so long without getting bored. Amazing to me. When you find a good one keep him/her.

responding to your emails

Looks like most of the main coding issues are solved. A few more display issues cropping up and a database thing has showed up on taggzilla.com. Coder is on it and got much done this weekend.

The remaining bugs Internet Explorer was giving seem to have been worked out. Somehow the Internet Explorer fixes had affected the database for the forum and are now knocked out.

Few remaining cosmetic things to get settled and TaggZilla will be ready for launch.

When you work long hours it’s amazing what 1 rest day does to recharge you

Coding issues can be a real nightmare. After a long hunt and going through 5 different coders I finally found 1 who could do the job.

I even ran through 2 who came highly recommended by friends. Then I met one through a forum and he’s been a godsend.

Alas, Internet Explorer is creating issues with displays and unknown arrays. Back to the drawing board.

P.S. my coder tells me it should be minor fixes taking only a day or so.

I chatted with author Chris Lang of Wickedly Evil Social Marketing Tactics and it was very enlightening. Some definite possibilities to work together.

He gave me some good ideas and potential help promoting www.taggzilla.com and I offered to help him with copywriting.

just closed out 2 phone conversation with social seo guru Chris Lang, big things brewing

Urinary Track Infection - Do you have one? Common Symptoms are

Facts and Research:

Urinary track infection affects over 12 MILLION people each year. While women are the most common sufferers men also get them. They are painful for each sex. The important thing is to detect them early and treat them fast and effectively.

Here are 2 interesting facts from the Nigerian Tribune:

“The amount of urine produced depends on how much water we take, the climate in which we live and how healthy our kidneys are.”

“Kidney stones are one of the most common and painful types of urinary tract disorders. Besides, one in every twenty people is said to develop this disorder at some point in life.”

-Nigerian Tribune

According to the National Kidney Foundation 20% of women WILL develop a u.t.i (urinary track infection) AND 20% of those will have it on a recurring basis!

The most common infection for women is the dreaded yeast infection (1 type of u.t.i.).

Research shows that cranberries cuts the recurrence of u.t.i. by 50% and prevents new recurrence for up to 2 years.

So cranberries are a good natural cure and first step to curing and warding off future suffering.

So how do you know if you have one?

Pain is usually a good indicator although that is a reactionary stance. When you are feeling the pain you are already suffering the symptoms.

Yeast infection (caused by candida yeasts) symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge, often with a curd-like appearance.

So how to catch them before they become a big problem?

Urine color

This chart is a good first watch alert mechanism. It comes courtesy of Larrian Gillespie, a retired urologist-urogynecologist:

Clear: You’ve been drinking more liquids than usual. Signals good hydration and health. However, if you’re not drinking increased amounts of beverages and it remains consistently clear, contact a physician — it could be a sign of a kidney or liver disorder.

Dark yellow: Most likely, you haven’t been drinking enough liquids and are dehydrated. Drink up, podner. On average, we need at least 32 ounces of fluids per day.

Fluorescent yellow or orange: Perhaps you’ve been consuming a lot of darker-colored foods, such as beets, carrots, too much vitamin C, etc. Could also be an early sign of liver dysfunction if urine is consistently a dark yellow/orange or brownish color. Keep hydrated. If color persists, see a doctor.

Blood-tinged or rust: If accompanied by pain, burning and frequent urination, it is most likely a urinary tract infection. Contact your health care provider for a urine culture. Can take over-the-counter medications formulated to relieve the pain while waiting for results and an antibiotic prescription.

Brown: Could indicate a serious condition, liver or kidney disease. See a physician.

Green or blue: Weird colors to scare the bejezus out of most anybody, but most likely caused by artificial coloring in food or drugs. Urine in the brighter green color can also be an indication of an excess of B vitamins (Dr. Green disagrees, saying the color is fluorescent yellow for B vitamins). Cut back on supplements and artificial food colorings. If nothing changes, consult a doctor.

Murky, cloudy: Yikes! Could be bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection, a bad urinary tract infection, kidney stones or other urinary tract diseases. See a physician promptly and alert the physician about any changes in the way you urinate (flow, pain or urgency).

The candida yeasts are the cause of yeast infection, and the e.coli bacteria is the most common cause of other urinary track infections.

Women are more affected by urinary track infection also known as urinary tract infections. It is unclear exactly why but the speculation is due to women’s shorter urinary tube giving the bacteria easier access due to less length to travel.

The most common u.t.i. for women is the yeast infection because it affects the most women and many are subjected to the repeat and persistence of the condition.

Men:

While the suffering of infections is less the pain is just as great if not more because the urinary track infection travels the longer tube. So kidney stones (1 type of infection) take longer to get out and cause more pain. My grandad has been a sufferer since he was 8 and has excruciating pain.
