With many of us treating our gyms like nonprofit organizations - making monthly donations with no services in return - it is an appealing proposition to have work and workout time become one and the same.

'If he's not guilty, why try to escape?'...

Sensing something was not quite right, the woman, 19, quickly left the cubicle.

What she saw next shocked her: A pair of eyes peeping out through the narrow gap between the door and the hinge of the next stall.

Her mother, 50, who had just finished using the toilet herself, saw her daughter looking stunned.

Through the narrow gap, they thought they saw a man.

Mr Winston ...

The comic drama TV series Being Erica takes a lively spin on an age- old question: What if you could go back to those truly regrettable moments in life and get a do-over? In this case, the notion is framed with some clever writing for the team behind Degrassi: The Next Generation, and character work in the form of Erica (Erin Karpluk), a thirtysomething cubicle drone sidelined by life and love,...

Bengals insider...

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 11:10:02 -0600

My tally: nine seasons, 140 regular-season Bengals games, 36 preseason games, one playoff game in Cincinnati, seven other postseason games, seven Super Bowls, countless practices and chunks of practices and mini-camps, and eight scouting combines in Indianapolis.

After nine full NFL seasons and more than eight years on The Enquirer's beat covering the Bengals, I am transferring back to t...

Short reviews of new films...

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 06:10:03 -0600

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD — Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet tear each other apart more thoroughly than an iceberg ever could in this brutal — and brutally tedious — depiction of marital malaise. Director Sam Mendes covered this territory before with more verve and imagination in his 1999 debut "American Beauty," and similar to that film, "Revolutionary Road" carries with it the un...

Band draws drummer out of the suburbs...

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 01:10:04 -0600

At first, Steve DiFranco laughed in his office cubicle last week when the e-mail popped up on his computer: Would you like to join us for a few weeks on our American tour?

Suburban dad leaves all to relive a youthful dream of playing drums again with his old band.

Leave my job, just like that? Leave my beautiful wife and two kids? Leave the bands I'm playing in now? Am I just fanta...

Enjoying an eco-lifestyle means living greener in all areas of your life. You may be taking environmentally friendly steps at home, but are you also doing it at work?

People spend almost 90% of their lives indoors, and for those people who work inside that equates to about 40 or more hours at your desk, office or cubicle. Whether you're a student interning at a major corporation, a marke...

Toying with the UFC...

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:10:04 -0600

All the kids dig UFC. It’s the in thing with the in crowd. Blood spilled? Love it. Broken bones? Bring it. Action figures? Bought ’em.

That’s right — action figures. MMA has action figures, and it’s a quick thinking Canadian company that is to blame.

If you tried to find official Ultimate Fighting Championship action figures for your kids this Christmas, your searc...

Although the economy is expected to struggle throughout 2009, Shelby Township resident Pam Randisi is not worried.

"It always seems that when the economy is down, lipstick sales go up," she said. "When the economy is bad, people aren’t going to take big trips or spend money on big items, but they will be buying smaller items, and they still want to look good."

Randisi should kn...

QATAR. An American man and a South African teenager were given three-year jail terms after being caught in a compromising position in a public lavatory in Doha.

According to court papers, the couple was spied entering a female cubicle within the Aspire sports academy on the morning of 16 February last year.

An Egyptian watchman told investigators that he first saw the two accused ki...
