Coveted Crib: Catherine and David's Home in Chloe

I finally got to theaters to see Atom Egoyan's scandalous thriller Chloe — did you catch my Get the Look last week? As unsettling as the film is, the sets and scenery are absolutely stunning. Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson's characters, Catherine and David, live in an expansive modern ravine home in Toronto, which actually has a large role in the film. I kept thinking that the film seems destined for the blog Unhappy Hipsters, with Catherine's despair and self-destruction solidifying the idea that modern architecture goes hand-in-hand with some lonely sense of gloom.

I did some digging around to find the real house that's featured in the film. As it turns out, it was designed by Toronto-based architect Drew Mandel. The art collection that you see in the film belongs to the homeowners, and likely much of the luxe modern furnishings as well. I loved the glass panes that you see throughout the house; they create so much visibility, openness, and flow. The living room fireplace is also magnificent.
Take a look at more photos of the house below.

H.I.T. Gyms where 4 minutes = 90 minutes

The promise is attractive: a sweat-free 4-minute workout that will give you the same results as a grueling 90-minute workout session.

The promise is attractive: a sweat-free 4-minute workout that will give you the same results as a grueling 90-minute workout session.

A Canadian company is making that silver-bullet pledge as it attempts to build a chain of store-front exercise havens for people who don't have the time to hit the local gym.

The company called H.I.T. (which stands for High Intensity Training) has opened its first "gym" in Toronto. It contains 5 narrow stalls, each one housing a $17,700 range-of-motion machine - it must be some serious magical piece of equipment to do in 4 minutes what it takes normal people hours to achieve. While the workout itself burns just 40 to 50 calories, it creates a lingering effect of burning an additional 500 calories over the next 24 hours due to its high intensity.

H.I.T claims using the Fit ROM machine is equivalent to approximately 45 minutes of resistance training, 30 minutes of running, plus 20 minutes of stretching.

H.I.T says it plans to open hundreds of such locations in Canadian cities within 5 years with membership dues comparable to traditional gyms.

So, does this really work? If you want to find out then read more
