TV Review: ‘House of Lies’ Gives Showtime a Raunchy Laugher.
Charming, fast-talking Marty Kaan and his crack team of management consultants use every dirty trick in the book to woo powerful CEOs and close huge deals in this scathing, irreverent satire... In addition to the questionable business practices of Marty and his team, the series also focuses on Marty's personal life. He deals with his disagreeable management consultant ex-wife Monica, his retired-psychiatrist father Jeremiah and his confidently flamboyant son Roscoe. The main character, Marty, often breaks the fourth wall; he talks to the viewers in a freeze-frame bit in which he alone moves and the others in the background 'freeze' but continue where they left off.

Wednesday and Thursday, with an extension to midnight Friday and Saturday, plus 10 a.m. As for the drinks, look for a new iPourIt system to take over the heavy lifting for customers looking to drink rather seamlessly. Basically, guests have to turn in a form of ID and a credit card, and in exchange get a wristband filled with a prepaid amount of credits to use at the requisite machine. Bring the band up to the sensor point, pick your drink and number of ounces to enjoy, and wait for the pour. Partners Gina Tarber (Cicerone-trained) and Kristian Krieger should be on hand to help with any inevitable hiccups.

Brewport Tap House & Kitchen
The beers here are brewed and poured in cask, which means robust flavors and little-to-no carbonation (it's a little odd to get used to, but quite tasty). If you’ve spent much time in the South Bay, you’ve probably driven past LA Ale Works' taproom in Hawthorne, a few blocks from SpaceX (and right across the street from another solid brewery, Common Space). Ale Works is a good spot to host a party when you don't know how many people will show up. The massive warehouse tends to be full of 30-somethings gathered to discuss cryptocurrency or watch sports, and there's a great collection of IPAs, lagers, stouts, and sours to carry everyone through the night.

Sierra Nevada celebrates 40-years anniversary at Brewport Tap House in El Segundo.
The industrial space has a large interior with plenty of TVs, plus a giant wrap-around front patio ideal for getting a little red on a Saturday afternoon. They’ve got around 12 different beers on tap ranging from Belgian-style pilsners to a sour ale, but we tend to go for the Bigger Dreams, a hazy IPA with heavy notes of tangerine and grapefruit. If you’re looking for a quick drink before dinner, Creature Comforts is a great low-key option. Paperback Brewing has very good beer, especially if you’re a hazy IPA connoisseur, but the biggest reason we love this Glendale brewery is its space.
One of the smallest breweries on this guide, Frogtown feels a bit like you’re hanging out in your friend’s garage, except there’s an industrial brewing set-up instead of an unused homebrew kit. The Lites Out pilsner is ideal if you’re there in the daytime (it’s only 4.1% ABV), but there's also a good selection of hazy and milkshake IPAs if you want to kick things up a bit in the evening. There's usually a food truck on-site most evenings, but you can also bring in food—on weekend afternoons our move is to walk over to Wax Paper right up the block for a post-pilsner sandwich.
There’s no food inside, but there’s usually vendors selling pizza, tacos, and burgers out front. When it’s warm, take advantage of outdoor picnic tables spread across the astroturf lawn. They also have a smaller tasting room in Culver City right next to the metro.

El Segundo’s Newest Craft Beer Bar Lets You Pour Your Own Pints
Patrons access their choices by tapping their wristband on a logo'd sensor on the tablet for each tap. They are given a description of the product, and can then choose how many ounces they'd like - from one ounce to a full pour. Flight trays are available for both beer and wine, so guests can sample new on tap offerings. The outside beer garden features picnic tables, umbrellas, and games and can host a party of 75. Any place that sells marked-up bottles and bowls of olives can call itself a wine bar.
Benny Boy Brewing
Brewport Tap House is a social dining experience featuring a self-pour concept and a GREAT selection of craft beer, wine, other adult beverages and great food. Brewport's state of the art technology enables patrons to embark on their culinary adventure with the assistance of experienced staff and certified beer experts. Upon their arrival, guests will be greeted by the Brewport Flight Crew, who will inform them of the multitude of offerings and options, such as carry out from the retail bottle shop. After checking in with a valid I.D., Drivers License and Credit Card, guests are issued swatch like wristbands, pre-loaded with credits that are used to pour the extensive array of selections available on any given day. Opening in late March, Brewport will offer 60 full taps for everything from root beer to red wine to kombucha to craft beer, plus a full kitchen for food under chef/partner Rob Rice. Look for casual pub fare and baguette sandwiches down the line.
There’s a pleasant patio out front where you might spot a couple of toddlers with their tattooed parents. But the real scene is inside the garage, which has a long bar, a disco ball, and (on weekends) a DJ spinning vinyl. Most people come here to sip housemade IPAs and snack on masa-battered chicken wings during the day, but on Friday and Saturday nights, the dance floor is packed until 1am. Head there the next time you’re looking for a place to drink dry-hopped saisons and meet someone with a color-coordinated tote bag. With drink in hand, they can mill around, enjoy Brewport's front and back patios, finding plenty of indoor seating to socialize with old friends and meet new ones.
Expect nearly 20 beers on the menu including crisp rice lagers, fruity sours, and a tasty California IPA humorously called the Nose Job. You’ll also usually find some kind of entertainment happening at any given time, from ping pong to pool to the occasional live DJ set. There's a solid menu of bar snacks menu with things like burgers and wings to fish sandwiches and kimchi, all way better than they need to be. This is where you should be drinking hoppy pilsners before a Dodgers game. Originally from Georgia, Creature Comforts is a Downtown brewery in the same complex as Rossoblu and Dama.
Don’t miss the top-selling Dog Ate My Homework—a purplish, juicy blackberry saison—or Popfuji, a malty, refreshing unfiltered pilsner. If you think you took a wrong turn and ended up in a warehouse yard, you’re at the right place. Boomtown Brewing is the most fun thing happening on this extra-industrial block of the Arts District, and somewhere you can fit a lot of people on a weekend afternoon. Between an alleyway and two giant warehouses, there’s plenty of seating.
With its vast array of creatively labeled craft beers prominently displayed, Brewport provides a colorful and unique visual experience. The giant patio is filled with wooden benches, tree stumps, and metal structures, achieving something that feels like a grown-up summer camp where people overuse the word "dude." Plus, food pop-ups operate most nights. LA's massive craft beer wave of the 2010s has long subsided, but there are still plenty of great places to drink a local pint.
The already craft beer-soaked South Bay is getting another contender soon, this one called Brewport Tap House. The El Segundo option will actually take over the former downtown post office, with plans for a pour-it-yourself setup little seen in Los Angeles. The casual El Segundo space should come online in a few weeks. Expect the requisite brick and wood, with a vague aviation theme throughout. This isn’t likely to be quite the beauty of Downtown’s new Mikkeller, but something solid for the South Bay nonetheless. When it opens, expect Brewport Tap House to keep hours from 11 a.m.
Which might also explain why this place is perpetually packed. Housed in a former car service station, All Season has indoor and outdoor seating, a row of skeeball machines, and a Chicas Taco window out back, so you don’t have to wander far for food. We also like that the short menu of draft beers is big on IPAs, including the citrusy Figure 8 that you can order by the pitcher.
Open since late 2023, Solarc is one of the newer breweries in LA—and one of the most unique, too. Rather than a typical line-up of IPAs and lagers, this Glassell Park brewery specializes in gruit, a medieval style of beer made with bittering agents other than hops. At Solarc, that means beer flavored with things like wormwood, black tea, and turmeric, and fermented with wild yeasts collected around Los Angeles.
But hanging out in an LA brewery means more than just drinking good beer—it's about having a good time, too. From tiny tap rooms in the South Bay to sprawling warehouses in DTLA filled with games and dance floors, these are the 15 best breweries in LA. At Brewport Tap House, we’ve taken the old adage, “variety is the spice of life”, and applied it to craft beer! A unique twist to the gastropub concept, at Brewport you’re in the pilot's seat as you experience our self-pour craft beers, ciders, seltzers, kombucha and more. With over 60 self-pour craft beers, wine, seltzer and kombucha, it's a unique twist to the classic gastropub. All Season Brewing in Mid-Wilshire is geographically central, making it an easy place to bring together people who live on opposite sides of the city.

There are plenty of sprawling warehouse breweries in LA, but Browuerji West in San Pedro beats them all in square footage. This brewery on the docks of Port of LA occupies a WWII-era naval warehouse so large it could host a regulation flag football game. Aside from the huge indoor taproom, there’s a big outdoor courtyard with food trucks and live music on weekends, and a marketplace selling local crafts across the street.

Located in an old 1940s-era airplane hangar, drinking at Paperback feels like you’re in line for Soarin’ Around The World at California Adventure, except the only ride here is sitting and relaxing for a few hours. Even during peak weekend hours, you’ll always be able to find an open table, and when you get hungry, you’ll find a food truck or two parked out front. This all-Belgian brewery in Torrance was one of the first places on the West Coast to kick off the hazy/juicy IPA craze, with every brewery from here to Seattle following suit. Expect a rotating roster of food trucks in the evening, and a large selection of cans available to-go. Homage Brewing is for people who love good beer but also want to dance.
A matching console table, aligned with the treads, and a brass-and-marble lamp anchor the space by Emma Beryl. The white-painted risers and balusters expertly contrast the dark wood treads and hand railing. Classic plaid speaks to the traditional style of the staircase design while adding a fun dose of personality.
Offset a simple staircase with a bold wall colour
If space allows, incorporate even more interest, like in this stairwell where blue and white vases tie together the foyer. In her previous home, Shannon McLaren of California’s Praire needed to redesign her floating stairs to ensure they were up to code and kid-friendly. Because she loved the airy effect of the original setup, she chose to pay homage to that design and worked thick, see-through glass spindles into the mix. McLaren finished off the staircase with a custom walnut railing and green Missoni carpeting. “Adding a bright cocktail bar allowed us to give function and fun to the space without making any structural changes,” Elias shares.
DIY Runner
This particular design uses a black rug with minimal patterns that complements the color of the rails on the staircase. This is a brilliant way to breathe life into your old staircase without breaking the bank. With a little design and creativity, you can easily turn regular wood into a luxurious masterpiece that you will be proud of. This particular design features wooden treads and glass that curve their way up the building, providing a unique luxurious touch. There's no doubt the primary function of a staircase is to give you access to different floors around your house. However, staircases in modern design also double up as decorative structures that'll elevate the standards and appeal of your house, according to Art Boulle.
Stairs Painted Black
The brown wooden color introduces some warmth to the design while the clean straight balustrade cables bring in a modern minimalist twist. Using marble gives you the unique opportunity of adding style and luxury that will stand the ultimate test of time. Serving as her design laboratory, decorator Ceara Donnelly's 18th-century Charleston home comes alive with clever color and bold patterns. Tumbling-block flooring by decorative artist Stephanie Poe dresses up the entry stairway. A platinum lustre Christopher Spitzmiller lamp sits atop japanned library steps from Mario Buatta’s estate. "If you want to keep the budget down [on a stairway update], then you could paint the stairs a beautiful color, and then add a beautiful runner," recommends Riddle.
Custom Staircase Feature
Don’t be afraid to stack art up and down a wall or tuck it into unusual spaces. Art lines this entire staircase wall, adding pops of color to the subdued neutral space. To get the look, try mixing and matching your favorite bold prints in subtle wood frames. A baluster, also called a spindle, is part of a staircase’s support system. If there’s one upside-down baluster on your historic staircase, you can blame superstition. The thickness of a granite staircase can vary depending on several factors, including the specific application, design preferences, and structural requirements.
Infuse your home with warmth and character by incorporating dual-toned granite with a textured finish. These natural-looking stairs add a touch of charm to the house while blending seamlessly with the surrounding aesthetics. A dramatic brown granite paired with a white marble base is a unique choice that exudes old-school opulence. It's common for modern home designs to have streamlined and clean lines as a design detail.

Consider this simple do-it-yourself staircase design idea to save money on a costly stair runner. Painting a faux runner down the center of your stairs will create the same look as a store-bought rug but will cost just a fraction of the price. This statement-making staircase wraps around one end of this light-filled home. Its simple design doesn't draw attention away from the soaring ceilings and plentiful windows. A geometric-pattern stair runner boosts both the comfort and style of this staircase. In addition to providing softness and warmth underfoot, the runner also prevents walkers from slipping on the potentially slick wooden treads.

The open riser design also helps to maximize natural light throughout the space. This staircase by Dynamic Property Services, Inc. features a floating design with glass panels and wood treads, creating a modern and elegant look. The use of lighting under each step adds an extra layer of interest and safety. While your staircase serves an obvious function by connecting the levels in your home, it also plays an important role in its design. Often, the staircase is the main character of a chic entryway (meaning it's first thing guests see) or it's centrally located in an open-concept interior.

Eight homes with characterful floating staircases that appear to defy gravity.
With a minimal and understated look, this floating staircase and landing design evokes a less-is-more philosophy and architectural style. Architect Carlo Gaspari converted a former knife-making workshop in Abruzzo, Italy, into a sophisticated residential property. The design pays homage to the home’s name—Casa del Ferro (the Iron House)—by using iron within the interior design, such as the staircase. Why opt for just one piece of art when you can create an eye-catching display? “We used the large painting upstairs to help draw the eye up into the larger space and also complement the chandelier,” Andrews explains.
There are plenty of possibilities that can turn your home’s staircase into a functional work of art. Use these staircases as inspiration for safety enhancements, space-saving solutions, or ways to add a touch of modern elegance to your living space. These elegant structures, whether spiral, straight, or floating, serve as more than just a means to connect floors; they represent a canvas upon which your unique style can be painted. Discover how the interplay of materials, lighting, and innovative designs can turn an ordinary staircase into a work of art. From minimalist, sleek modern staircases that embrace simplicity to ornate, timeless classics that exude grandeur, we explore a myriad of staircase ideas that cater to diverse tastes and preferences.
Illuminate your ascent and descent with the futuristic glow of LED path lights embedded within your staircase. These luminous beacons, often subtle during the day, come alive as twilight descends, guiding every step with their gentle radiance. Plus, freestanding, colourful under stair storage below with a DIY peg board creates a handy place to kick off coats before heading upstairs. Plus, the spandrel (the triangular space under the stairs) has been incorporated into the kitchen as extra storage. The rejuvenated structure creates the perfect bridge between the history of the property and the it's new purpose to suit a modern family lifestyle. An exposed brick staircase can work wonders when designing for a new home or building an extension.
By tying the balustrade in visually with the internal doors and over-sized mirror, the whole look is pulled together. This stunning steel staircase highlights the double-height void in the centre of this open plan home. It has been painted in the same RAL shade as the windows and divides the more intimate snug – out of shot around the corner – from the modern kitchen and dining area. A key decision to make when looking at a wooden staircase is whether you will carpet the steps or leave the timber on show.
The warm tones of the wood, paired with the gentle creak underfoot, tell tales of generations past and memories forged. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, a skylight window also plays a practical role, reducing the need for artificial lighting and helping in energy conservation. In essence, it bridges the gap between indoor spaces and the vast, ever-changing canvas of the sky above. Beyond the sheer joy of the slide, its inclusion in a staircase design is a testament to the boundless possibilities of interior architecture, where functionality meets pure, unadulterated fun.
Native plants are a natural choice for resident and migratory birds. Native plants draw moths and beetles that feed insectivorous birds, and the foliage is the feeding ground for caterpillars, a primary food source for many bird species and their nestlings. These designs move away from common foundation plants that tend to be overused, non-native (often invasive such as Japanese barberry), and not connected to our local ecology. Landscapes with more plant diversity are more resilient to changes in the environment and native plants support beneficial insects that provide pollination, food for birds, and natural pest control.

May 4 will feature South County gardens, mostly located in coastal cities and Irvine, she said, and May 5 will feature a variety of gardens around north Orange County. Some private homes and some public gardens, including plant demonstration gardens created by local water districts, make up the tour stops. Plants that are well-suited to your local climate and soil conditions are more likely to thrive and resist common challenges. Researching native plant species that are native to your region can help you select the best plants for your garden and minimize the risk of disease or pest infestations.
Plant list for sunny conditions
As Landscape Designers, we focus on implementing CA native plants that support our local butterflies, birds and bees. By taking inspiration from our local foothills, we create gardens that are welcoming and beautiful. Local garden centers and nurseries are a good place to start. Independent stores may be more likely to offer native plants than big box hardware stores. Call a few in your area before you stop by and ask what they offer. As we mentioned earlier, plants that have a lineage in your local area or climate are the best options for you, the success of the plants, and local wildlife.
Planning your native plant garden
It’s important to vary the heights of vegetation when you create your native plant garden because they are a factor when it comes to providing shelter, nesting and food for wildlife. For example, brown thrashers, Georgia’s state bird, nest on or very near the ground in a shrub, tree, or vine tangle. Forsythia and gooseberry shrubs, honey locust trees, and crossvine are among preferred nesting sites for brown thrashers. If you are in the Sierras(coniferforest) or coastalareas and you want to use a desert or grassland plant, use arock mulch, and plant in the open, away from trees. Also clumpthe same types of plants together so they support each other andyou can treat them alike, see companionplanting.
It has been my experience that this is the most important element in developing a successful native garden. Anytime you stray too far off, the plants don’t flourish and they require more effort. Planting a swamp milkweed on a dry hill or a primrose in a bog will never work.
Showy pincushion-like flowers attract butterflies, moths, and other beneficial insects. Native to much of the U.S., this sturdy carefree shrub makes a good substitute in areas where butterfly bush is invasive. Native plants are endemic to a particular area, occurring there long before human habitation. These plants evolved and adapted to the local climate and growing conditions, becoming an integral part of the ecosystem. Some believe that natives aren’t attractive, which is simply not the case. By including a variety of natives that bloom at different times and have multi-seasonal attributes, you can have a beautiful natural landscape year-round.
Make a list of species that not only appeal to you visually but also suit your garden's conditions and location in the US. After selecting your native plant species, consider their sunlight and water requirements to ensure they thrive in your garden. Group plants with similar needs together to create ideal growing conditions for each species. If you want to establish a formal native shade garden for your front yard or other area, this plan can help you. This Front Yard Formal article by Scott Woodbury from the spring 2019 issue of the Missouri Prairie Journal is a companion to this plan, and contains photos of many of the featured plants. Learn more about plants featured in this plan from this audio file from Scott, and learn more about the plants’ growth habits from this audio file from Scott.

Their dive turns into a nightmare when they discover the house was the scene of atrocious crimes. “The Deep House,” which marks their follow up to “Leatherface” [“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” prequel] revolves around a couple of YouTubers who go diving in a remote French lake and discover a house submerged in deep waters. Their adventure turns into a nightmare when they understand the house harbors atrocious crimes and find themselves trapped with hardly any oxygen left.

Upon reaching the lake, the couple is disappointed to see it is a tourist trap. Ben, who has a habit of befriending strangers, finds a man named Pierre, who promises to take them to an unexplored part of the lake. On the way there, Pierre explains how the lake was formed by submerging an abandoned village. Upon arrival, Ben and Tina dive into a seemingly deserted corner of the lake and, as described by Pierre, find a perfectly preserved house.

Ben and Tina are a young engaged New York couple and passionate YouTube contributors who are travelling Europe and seeking out reputedly haunted houses to live-record their experiences. One day, they go to south-west France to seek out a sanatorium submerged in an artificial lake, only to find it a crowded vacation spot. A local, Pierre, offers to take them to an isolated branch of the lake in the forest of Chanteloup, an area which was artificially submerged in 1984 to prevent frequently recurring, devastating floods. The area he is leading them to contains a mansion which he claims has remained perfectly preserved. Finding all the doors and windows barred except for one at the top of the submerged house, the young couple enters and finds themselves surrounded by ominous vintage relics.

Ben and Tina try to flee the house, but the window they entered through is suddenly blocked off by a brick wall, and their frantic search for other exits is in vain. Over the past several years, Washington has built a series of multilateral security arrangements like these in the Asia-Pacific region. Although U.S. officials claim that the recent mobilization of allies and partners is not aimed at China, don’t believe it. Indeed, Mr. Kishida emphasized in a speech to Congress on April 11 that China presents “the greatest strategic challenge” both to Japan and to the international community. The 50-foot-deep main channel is scheduled to reopen next month after the cargo ship is moved out — reestablishing maritime traffic to the busy port, which normally processes more cars and farming equipment than any other in the US. The lots are also deeper and longer than many of those on offer on the other beaches, allowing for guest houses, main houses and land in between.
The owners of the house, Mister and Madam Montégnac, were left behind, chained to the cellar, and seemingly continue to haunt the house. While looking at the family photographs of residents of the submerged house, Ben discovers that Pierre is the offspring of the house’s owners. Therefore, Pierre sends the adventurous couple down with the full knowledge that he is sending them into a haunted death trap. The film opens with Ben and Tina exploring a house in Ukraine that’s rumored to be haunted.
The pair works as a mini-studio and always have a several projects in the pipeline. “We never put all our eggs in the same basket, we know it takes time to get a project greenlit and sometimes we can develop something for years in vain — we had eight projects in development when we signed ‘Kandisha’ and ‘The Deep House,'” says Maury. “Every sequence under water takes three times longer to shoot than a sequence above it — even a shot reverse shot takes a long time to set up,” says Maury.

A former Democratic Georgia congressman hopes abortion can power his state Supreme Court bid
Ben catches up with her and tries to kill her, but she wounds him with a diving knife, shocking him out of his possession. The Montégnacs then turn on Tina, but she escapes up the shaft, which leads back into the lake. But just below the water's surface, the remaining air in her lungs gives out, and she drowns. Massachusetts would not be the first to regulate the use of AI in campaign ads. Washington state passed a law last year targeting so-called deepfakes by requiring that any election communication that contains synthetic media carry a disclosure, including for audio media.

A candidate whose voice or likeness is used without the disclosure can also sue to block the ad under the law. The bridge collapse killed six Latin American immigrants who were part of a roadwork crew on break when the cargo ship rammed into it. Only four of their bodies have been recovered from the mess of steel and concrete under the water’s surface. A cargo ship trapped in Baltimore’s harbor for weeks after the Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge collapsed last month was finally freed Thursday as it became the first vessel to pass the wreckage via a new deep-water channel. This also puts into sinister perspective the prayer he mumbles just before Tina and Ben dive into the lake, as the house turns out to be the site for ritualistic killings. Since the chained bodies in the basement are revealed to be those of the owners of the house, we can infer that they are the bodies of Pierre’s parents.
The movie had its world premiere at Stiges last year but had its theatrical release canceled due to the pandemic. An exorcism-themed movie, “Kandisha” is set during the summer break and revolves around a powerful and vengeful demon. The helmers explain that directing the actors under the water presented another level of difficulty because they couldn’t be fully wired and “there’s no wifi down there,” points out Bustillo. “We had an engineer who took months to create a system where we had antennas placed in the water which were connected to one another. This unique system required us to work with unusual crew members and allowed us to see the dailies on the monitors above water,” says Maury. “The Deep House combines an amazing concept as well as massive technical challenges that were not made easier by the Covid pandemic,” said Pulsar Content’s co-founders Gilles Sousa and Marie Garrett.
The next day, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines was also in the U.S. capital for a historic U.S.-Japan-Philippines summit, during which a new trilateral security partnership was announced. With the pre-war world of the games and show locked in a 1950s limbo, even in 2077, New Vegas brings all the same ‘old’ Vegas vibes, but with that touch of radiation (and cannibalism sometimes, whoops!) that makes it so uniquely Fallout. Other highlights include a modern interplay of warm wood surfaces (including new wood floors) with stone finishes and abundant glass details in the ceilings and walls. The ocean-facing living area features a double-sided fireplace, a wet bar and picturesque views through expansive black-clad windows and sliding doors, which were added by the owner, Monus said. The adjacent dining room flows into a covered outdoor lounge that’s enclosed in glass on three sides—both agents said this space has resonated the most with those who have seen the house.
Tina, horrified by the scenes and out of oxygen, tries to pull Ben away, but he is stabbed by the ghost of a young girl. The panicking diver then tries to escape through a well and finally digs her way out of the house. However, just before breaking the water’s surface, Tina suffocates from a lack of oxygen and becomes still.
