Abstract (Summary)
The area's haunted houses will be open late, while several area bars will be celebrating the scare season with costume contests and drink specials. 2. Research shows that an hour of hands-on treatment can help release pain, tame anxiety and hasten the healing of the some sports injuries.
Oct. 30--WATERLOO -- The adage "What goes around comes around" usually is accompanied by a sense of foreboding.
But this Sunday, the end of daylight Savings time means that everyone -- whether they handed out tricks or treats on Halloween -- is granted an extra hour.
The change officially goes into effect at 2 a.m. Sunday, resulting in a 25-hour day as Americans set their clocks to "fall back."
Here are some ways to make your extra hour count.
1. Live it up: Keep the jack-o'-lantern burning a little longer Saturday night. After all, you'll be able to make up your zzzs the next morning. The area's haunted houses will be open late, while several area bars will be celebrating the scare season with costume contests and drink specials.
2. Splurge: Start the month off right with a massage. Research shows that an hour of hands-on treatment can help release pain, tame anxiety and hasten the healing of the some sports injuries. Plus, it's relaxing.
3. Stretch your brain: You know iTunes boasts the Web's most comprehensive music collection from ABBA to Zappa. But did you know the site also offers more than 200,000 educational audio and video files from the country's top colleges? Visit iTunes U to listen in on the University of Alabama's "Zombies! The Living Dead in Literature," or ponder the fundamentals of physics with Yale University faculty. Best of all? The classes are free, with most lectures clocking in at the 60-minute mark.
4. Reconnect: How long has it been since you've talked to your old college roommate? Or caught up with the summer camp crew? Pick up the phone or log in to share old memories and make new ones. Just remember: Always ask before posting your BFF's marching band photo on Facebook. The uniforms weren't flattering then, and they still aren't.
5. Burn, baby, burn: Admit it, all those miniature candy bars didn't end up in trick-or-treat bags. Use your extra hour to battle the onslaught of holiday pounds. Raking leaves for 60 minutes burns an average of 240 calories.
