Get Off the Couch: Time to eat, shop, kick off holidays
Posted: November 20, 2012 at 9:45 am
BARRY COURTER: Lisa, so I guess it's fair to assume you've been in training, working on your Soddy karate. You know, doing some aerobics and working the heavy bag with your elbows and pointy shoes. 'Tis the season without reason and all that.
LISA DENTON: Correct. But it's the yearlong training that makes the difference. I may shop till I drop, but I won't be KO'd by an opposing shopper on Black Friday. This year, shoppers can even start on Thanksgiving. Apparently, Thursday is the new Friday.
BARRY: Full-contact shopping is not for the timid or weak, so it's good you train. It reminds me of Barney explaining to Andy why he was practicing his gun-drawing: "... 10 minutes every day. If I ever have to use this baby, I want to teach it to come to papa in a hurry."
LISA: Speaking of Mayberry, I ran across a quote from Aunt Bee the other day that reminds me of feasting on Thanksgiving.
She asks Andy, "Did you like the white beans you had for supper?"
He says, "Uh huh."
She says, "Well, you didn't say anything."
He says, "Well, I ate four bowls. If that ain't a tribute to white beans, I don't know what is."
I'm planning to do my own tribute to white beans Thursday ... and to turkey ... and dressing ... and, well, you name it, I'll eat it. I need to keep my strength up for shopping.
Of course, there's more than eating and shopping to entertain us this week. There are a couple of theater productions opening. Chattanooga Theatre Centre has two companion comedies by David Sedaris: "Season's Greetings" and the hysterical "SantaLand Diaries," about his stint working as an elf at Macy's one Christmas.

Gazette.Net: Damascus instructor hosts Thanksgiving morning aerobics
Posted: at 9:45 am
Michael Conroy/submitted Local residents take part in Karin Baker's Thanksgiving morning aerobics class at Lake Marion Community Center in Montgomery Village.
On a day when feasting is celebrated, aerobics instructor Karin Baker has some advice: Work out before you pig out.
Baker is teaching an aerobics class at Montgomery Village on Thanksgiving morning, a tradition shes had for years. Dozens of students between the ages of 40 and 85 join her on the holiday to practice aerobics, donate food to the needy and enjoy breakfast.
The Damascus resident said she has been doing aerobics for 37 years and teaching for 22 years. She uses fitness guru Jackie Sorensons dance aerobics program to teach classes every week in different facilities in Montgomery County.
I started in my late 20s, now im 65 and still doing it, she said.
Her Thanksgiving aerobics classes start with a 20-minute warmup, she said, then she incorporates hand weights and ankle weights into the exercises. The whole class usually lasts about an hour and a half, she said.
Baker charges $5 and the donation of a can of food for entry into her Thanksgiving morning class, she said, though many students bring bags of food. The food and proceeds are donated to Gaithersburg Help, she said. Gaithersburg Help is a volunteer organization that provides food, transportation and other assistance to those in need.
She also serves a light breakfast after the class, but she warns students not to eat too much.
Sometimes when they do the aerobics class, they walk out and start eating, Baker said.
Though she teaches year-round, she said aerobics classes are not as popular as they used to be.

MPSP’s aerobics sessions a hit
Posted: at 9:45 am
THE Seberang Prai Municipal Councils (MPSP) free aerobics sessions are gaining popularity.
Council president Maimunah Mohd Sharif said there were less than 100 people when the council started the aerobics session in January but the crowd has since improved to about 500 persons.
The growing response is because the participants found the sessions highly beneficial and have convinced their family members and friends to join in as well.
Many joggers and walkers, who happen to be in the park during our sessions, have also become regular participants, she said.
She was speaking after joining an aerobics session at Taman Tunku in Seberang Jaya.
Maimunah said the hour-long sessions were conducted by fitness trainer Aise Tan Seok Ai, on a voluntary basis.
The sessions are conducted on every first Sunday of the month at Taman Tunku (behind the Seberang Jaya Public Swimming Pool) at 7.30am.
Similar sessions are conducted at Taman Tugu Kota Demokrasi in Taman Cantik, Mak Mandin, every third Sunday of the month at the same time.
She hoped residents in housing schemes could initiate similar aerobics sessions in the parks of their respective areas.
Aerobics promotes good blood circulation as it involves the movement of almost all body parts, she said.

I #39;ve found that the HRM is compatible with the equipment at my gym (treadmills and excercise bikes) meaning that I can see my current heart rate and calorie count on the machines I am using instead of having to look at my watch. I think the equipment in my gym is Life Fitness which states on the machines they are compatible with Polar, however, as I say I have found this watch is also compatible. The watch is very easy to use with clear instructions and takes no time at all to get used to. As well as your heart rate it works out your lowest rate, highest aswell as average over your session, tracks not only how many calories you have burned off but also how many grammes of fat. Excellent product which comes with interchangeable straps, brilliant. The white one looks great too but not a fan of the blue." "Really pleased with this HRM. Wasn #39;t sure which one to go for and was weighing this up against the Polar and Sigma equivalents. The Beurer is stacked with lots of functions, has a really intuitive and easy to use interface and represents great value for money. Love the fitness test feature and huge number of laps / results you can record. I was a little ...From:usmrenwsViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:56More inSports

1972 Lincoln Continental Cruise Control Operation
This video is a response to a question/request from another YouTube user that wanted a little more detail regarding the cruse control system on this vehicle along with the rim blow horn switch. The cruse control works perfectly. In fact, I used it on a road trip back in 2010 for a brief period. I tend not to use cruse control because I feel less connected to the driving experience when I do. But it #39;s nice to excercise these systems on occasion to test their functionality and keep the parts moving freely. After 40 years, it #39;s still working as it should.
