Leave it to Dr. Chris, Gresham Animal Hospital, to put his whole heart, soul, and “head” into raising money for the Salvation Army.

Channel Selection
WiFi channel selection is about getting your network signal separated from the “noise” for better connection. Often wireless points have tools to help you select between the 2.4GHz 1-11 channels or the 5GHz 36-165 options.

Raking leaves burns as many calories as walking 3.5 mph, horseback riding, or water aerobics—and more than a general weight-lifting session or bowling. Just thirty minutes of raking and squatting to scoop up the leaves and transporting them gives you the recommended daily dose of moderate exercise.

SEPSIS and the Flu
We have all been more than inundated with information about this year's dangerous flu, but are you aware of all that can result from contracting this year's flu? Health experts aren't sure why this year is different than others, but it is now evident that it can be deadly and taking precautions could save a life. Get your flu shot-although the flu vaccination isn't likely to be as effective this year as in the past, it's still very important. The flu can weaken the immune system which leaves people of all ages more vulnerable to serious infections. One of the complications of these infections is called SEPSIS and has been mentioned often during this year's flu epidemic. Severe sepsis strikes more than a million Americans every year and 15 to 30 percent of those people die.
