Self-pour Craft Beers and more

brewport tap house

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.

Surfridge Brewing Company

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.

El Segundo 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.

Cool Food Events and Pop-Ups to Check Out This Week in Los Angeles: April 26

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.

You're the pilot at Brewport Tap House & Kitchen

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.

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.

El Segundo’s Newest Craft Beer Bar Lets You Pour Your Own Pints

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.

Los Angeles Ale Works

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE SPOTS

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.

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.

Benny Boy Brewing

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.

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.

Welcome to Wild Ones native garden designs website!

While ornamental grasses tend to reach their peak during fall, they also provide interesting seed heads, berries and foliage. Winter wonder also comes from the colorful seed heads of native garden plants like purple coneflower and sedum. Creating natural gardens is easy with well thought-out planning.

Visit a local arboretum, wildlife sanctuary, or nature trail

Regularly monitoring your garden and staying vigilant against threats can help prevent issues from escalating. Additionally, being patient and allowing natural predator-prey relationships to develop can often lead to effective pest control without the need for harmful chemicals. When considering native plant gardening, it is vital to weigh these pros and cons to determine if this approach aligns with your gardening goals and preferences. With proper planning and care, native plant gardens can thrive and contribute to the overall health of the environment.

Landscape Designs with Native Plants

Let your garden landscape ideas come to life and become part of a growing community of wildlife enthusiasts. Pests can be particularly troublesome in any garden setting. The key to managing pests in a native plant landscape is to foster a balanced ecosystem. Native plants, such as the slender mountain mint, are known for their pest-repellent properties.

What plants are best for pollinators?

When designing, take this into consideration and vary the textures of your plantings. This provides interest for the eyes and relieves the monotony of similar foliages. So if everything blooms and then loses its leaves or flowers at the same time, you’ll be left without texture, so choose plants with multiple blooming times. You can design with complementary colors, analogous colors, or monochromatic color schemes. Trecia decided on this design arrangement because this area receives full to partial shade during the day, and the soil is often moist.

Native plants create bird-friendly landscapes

native plant garden design

Always become familiar with the types of native garden plants that may already be growing on your property. This not only gives you an idea of the types of plants that thrive in your particular location but also makes it easier as you begin gardening with native plants and adding them to your design. Native plants flourish in their natural environment and complement the surrounding landscape of your home. Creating a native garden with seasonal interest, from spring through winter, requires careful planning and placement of long-lasting bloomers and a variety of foliage plants. For additional interest, include a focal point of some kind.

We've heard of people spending thousands ofdollars on sod lawns only to discover the water bill is hundredsof dollars per month and a maintenance bills hundreds more. If you have a lawn area, use plantsthat live next to the creeks of your target community next tothe lawn; watermoves through them to your plants in the dry areas. Front yard – Once more shade is established in the front yard by the oak tree & redbud, everything else may be planted. This common prairie native supports butterflies and other insect pollinators. Use in a mixed border or allow to naturalize in a meadow setting. Summer-flowering plants will take over once the spring blooms have faded away.

Designing Native Gardens: Gardening With Native Plants

The spring bird migration is also underway, and birds will be visiting our yards seeking shelter, water, and food. With thoughtful selection, plants can benefit birds and add another layer of enjoyment – music and motion – to our landscapes. Susie Van de Riet is the founder of St. Louis Native Plants LLC, whose services include consulting, coaching, design, & education. She obtained her bachelor’s in Women’s Studies and AAS in Horticulture. She is an ISA Certified Arborist and an NAI Certified Interpretive Guide. She has a passion for native plants and has been landscaping with them since 2009.

Each challenge that native plant landscape design presents an opportunity to grow as a gardener and to evolve your garden landscape ideas. By applying these solutions, you can maintain the health and beauty of your native plant garden, ensuring it remains a thriving part of the local environment. Invasive non-native plants can outcompete your natives and disrupt the local ecosystem. In areas prone to the spread of invasive species, planting robust native ground covers can provide an effective defense. Before you break ground, research the native plants of your region. Look for native plant garden ideas online, consult local gardening books, or visit botanical gardens and nurseries specializing in indigenous flora to get inspiration.

Doyle tries to create an attractive pollinator garden neighbors will see, hoping to inspire them to spread the word. Native plants are crucial to the pollination process, said Megan Pleasanton, cooperative extension educator at Delaware State University and coordinator of the Master Gardener program in Kent County. You may be tempted to skip this step, but any landscape architect worth his dirt will tell you that site and soil preparation is not the area in which to skimp. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the macronutrients every plant must get from the soil. Soil tests should measure both phosphorus and potassium and make fertilizer recommendations.

The following practices apply to plantings where some degree of control is desired. Embracing native plant landscape design is a rewarding endeavor, but it's not without its challenges. From pesky pests to unpredictable weather and the encroachment of invasive species, there are several hurdles that gardeners may face. However, with a few strategic garden landscape ideas, these issues can be managed or even turned into advantages. Flowering plants add splashes of color and attract a host of pollinators. Incorporate a variety of species that bloom at different times to keep your garden lively throughout the growing season.

Remember, your garden can be a sanctuary for local wildlife, a bastion for native biodiversity, and a personal retreat that resonates with the natural landscape. By choosing native plants, you're not just gardening — you're stewarding the land and contributing to a larger ecological balance. The start of any successful garden begins with a well-thought-out plan, especially when it involves integrating garden landscape ideas with native plants. Begin with understanding which plants naturally thrive in your region. For instance, the sun-loving dense blazing star and the shade-tolerant woodland sunflower are excellent starters for varied light conditions, depending on the state you live in.

To put it simply, plants and animals with a long ancestral history in your climate have grown up together, eaten the same foods, and endured the same weather. There’s no cultural adjustment; this is their home, and they know just how to survive and thrive in your landscape. You should also consider incorporating plant diversity to attract a variety of pollinators and beneficial insects to your garden.

Refer to the information on native plants and the list of plants for sunny and shady conditions. Choosing flowering perennial plants and trees that bloom at various times during the season are great choices for your garden. That’s because they allow different types of insects to utilize the habitat all year.

Repeated use of line, color, form, or other elements create movement through an entire landscape. Native (and extremely local) plants create stunning wildflower fields in Pennsylvania. Milkweed leaves are the sole food source for Monarch butterfly caterpillars. There are thousands of different plant varieties native to the U.S. that can be grown in home gardens.

How do we design a native plant garden that doesn’t look so wild? You can have the beauty of the prairie and all the benefits of a native ecosystem with a properly designed native garden. An example of an invasive plant in Illinois is the Amur Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera maacki). Amur Bush Honeysuckle is widespread across the Midwest, altering ecosystems and impeding the growth of native plant species. Created by landscape designers, the plans come with native plant lists for 19 different US eco-regions. As with the townhome designs, this design is provided as a suggestion of how areas of turf can be replaced with native plants.

the deep house

The elder Montégnacs and Sarah were eventually killed by an avenging mob, but Pierre managed to escape. Reaching the spot, Ben and Tina submerge, finding the house in a short while, with its contents strangely well-preserved. However, eerie things begin to happen after they enter the house; they hear strange voices and noises, the motion tracker on their drone indicates movement while there is nothing to trigger it, and their electronic equipment inexplicably begins malfunctioning. In addition, in some of the rooms they find lots of photos, posters and news articles showing missing children, as well as satanic symbols and a score of violent scratches at the front door post. In the kitchen, they discover a door blocked by a large crucifix, and opening it, they enter a room containing two corpses in chains and torture masks suspended above a satanic pentagram, and a side room filled with pickled human body parts.

It overlooks a spacious patio with a seating area and an in-ground hot tub as well as a grassy path toward the ocean. The home’s only living resident is a big catfish, and I say that to imply that there may be DEAD residents there, you know, maybe some Cannibalistic Humanoid Underwater Dwellers! And here’s hoping, if only one of our intrepid protagonists makes it out, the one who doesn’t is dickhead Ben, but hey, NO SPOILERS. En route to the house, Pierre explains that their valley suffered a massive flood fifty years ago. To avoid another similar catastrophe, it was decided to abandon one of the villages and voluntarily flood it. The house that Ben and Tina explore is one of the houses in this submerged village.

The Deep House Ending: Are Ben and Tina Dead?

“The whole process was crazy, and we owe it to Jacques Ballard, who is a master of underwater filming. This unique process was “costly both financially and in terms of time,” says Maury. While trying to open a grate in the cellar with the two bodies, Tina is suddenly attacked. The assault ceases abruptly, but strangely Ben denies that anything unusual has happened.

Even if he survives the knife wound, Ben would undoubtedly die from a lack of oxygen. However, when they stumble upon what appears to be a ritualistic crime scene inside the house, the young couple realizes it’s more than they bargained for. By then, it’s too late, and the slow buildup spirals into a surreal and paranormal conclusion. If the frantic climax left you with a few questions, we’re here to clear them up! The Deep House more than unsettles through an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere and an exhilarating new twist to the haunted house.

After the credits, there is a brief scene in which two new divers look out over the lake, accompanied by Pierre. Voter blocs that have generally trended Democratic have started a very slight tilt to the right that was a major contributor to Republican victories in New York, Smikle said. Groups such as Asian American voters and Jewish voters, according to Smikle, came around for Republicans amid a spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans and a rise in antisemitism. Cox thinks otherwise of Democratic efforts to replace the maps, accusing them of sidestepping fair and competitive races. The redrawn maps benefited Republicans but not at the expense of Democrats, Cox said. The red wave in New York, as Cox sees it, was a mix of good politics from Republicans and poor politics from Democrats.

“In this particular case, the lot is about 325 feet long, so there’s this wonderful expanse that provides privacy from people walking on the public beach,” Monus said. Unfortunately, Tina stops moving while still underwater and, therefore, most likely dies as well. Even if she surfaces, she is miles from civilization and cannot expect help from their treacherous guide Pierre. In fact, considering Pierre purposely sent Ben and Tina down to the house, he might even be waiting for her on the shore to finish the job, just in case she survives.

The buzzy title, which was produced by Radar Films with Logical Pictures and is releasing in French cinemas next week, caught the eye of Jason Blum‘s horror film powerhouse Blumhouse. The company acquired U.S. rights to the indie film, and Epix will release it domestically. Any communication that uses so-called synthetic media, or content that’s “substantially produced” by AI, would have to include the message, “Contains content generated by AI,” at the beginning, the end, and during the video. Basil Smikle, a New York-based Democratic strategist and director of the public policy program at Hunter College, said Democrats could have done better on assuring voters they could keep them safe from violent crime. Heading into 2024, Smikle expects the GOP to keep pinning what they claim as rampant crime rates on Democrats.

the deep house

The ghoulies that eventually materialize within don’t have to be so original, or terrifying — the situation itself makes for discomfiting viewing. The actors aren’t given a lot to work with here, though surely much was demanded of them, or at least of their diving stand-ins (Justin & Thibault Rauby, given prominent end-credits billing). One is eventually asked to do an “evil voice,” and does not excel in that capacity. But if these otherwise game leads don’t create complex or memorable characters here, well, no one could, and no one is asking them to anyway. On dry land, “The Deep House’s” script wouldn’t be much — Ben’s observance that the residents must have been up to some “Satanic shit” is as much explanation as we’re afforded for what ensues. Nor are all the horror tropes utilized as effective underwater, given the necessitated slow movement, and occasional visual incoherence when a character and their body-cam struggle against some force amidst swirling bubbles or dislodged debris.

Ben befriends Pierre at the lake, where the latter is first seen sitting and drinking a beer. Pierre promises to show them a secluded part of the lake that contains a perfectly preserved submerged house. He turns out to be right because Ben and Tina soon find themselves in a pristine corner of the lake and dive down to find the eerily well-preserved house. Tina gets a better shot at survival and is actually able to escape from the house. However, she is forced to discard her oxygen tank in the process and holds her breath while she tries to dig her way out.

The fake robocall used in New Hampshire set off alarm bells around the country, including in Washington state. Steve Hobbs, Washington’s secretary of state, said in a statement at the time that the situation was “just the tip of the iceberg for 2024″ and warned that it would likely only become harder to spot a deepfake. The grizzled guide’s motives are confirmed when the mysterious film playing in the submerged house shows that Pierre helped his father abduct and torture the neighborhood children. When the angry neighbors attacked Pierre’s family and killed them, he was the only one able to escape alive. Now, as the last living member of the family, Pierre seemingly sends unsuspecting victims down into the house.

Curious, Ben removes the masks from the corpses, revealing them to be the Montégnacs, the family who owned the house. As they try to escape through a chimney, the shaft collapses, trapping them on different floors. In an upstairs bedroom, Ben finds a family tree featuring Pierre, revealing him as the Montégnacs' son and indicating that he lured them to the house on purpose, before he is attacked by an undead girl - the Montégnacs' daughter Sarah - and possessed by her. When Tina finds him, he leads her to a hidden sitting room in the basement where Sarah, through Ben and a gruesome film reel, reveals that Mr. Montégnac and Pierre kidnapped children from the surrounding area to use as satanic sacrifices.

The underwater photography amplifies the murky, claustrophobic atmosphere, and Bustillo and Maury thankfully didn’t feel compelled to stick with handheld-cam/found footage POVs. Watching the two principals and their drone navigate the submerged house is disorienting enough to amplify the tension, yet isn’t so discombobulating that it pushes us out of the moment. And set design and props that would be mundane in a non-underwater haunted house movie enjoy a fresh, eerie glow here. When they finally come to, Tina finds Ben in one of the bedrooms in a strange stupor. He leads her to a room where the lights mysteriously come on, and an old-fashioned projector starts up. The film shows how the house’s owners tortured children and were subsequently murdered by angry villagers.

John Serba is a freelance writer and film critic based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Is a palpable unease punctuated with overdoses of adrenaline that would probably put most people off recreational diving. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously which makes for a fairly entertaining movie night despite its flaws-just don't expect anything more than typical B-horror fare. The Deep House works on a superficial level of being a way to while away some time, but fails to dive much further than that.

2024 elections: NY Democrats have new plan for winning back the House

the deep house

“We had a very energetic, good gubernatorial candidate,” New York GOP chair Ed Cox told USA TODAY, who expressed disappointment in Zeldin’s loss but credited Zeldin’s run for boosting several Republicans in highly competitive House races. After the November elections, New York Democrats conducted a postmortem, and more than 1,000 individuals and organizations signed on to a letter laying the blame at the feet of Jay Jacobs, the state party chair, and called for his resignation. Both were on hand as Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, helped unveil the Democratic administration’s blueprint for reducing suicides in the United States. Five vessels that have been trapped in the harbor for nearly a month with no way out are expected to finally leave through the new channel over the next few days before officials close it Monday or Tuesday.

New Vegas Strikes a Deal with Fallout‘s New California Republic (NCR)

A large driver behind strong GOP performance in New York was Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin. Democrat Kathy Hochul won the governor's race over Zeldin by just over 6 percentage points, an uncomfortably close margin for a statewide race in deep blue New York. As the 2024 election nears and national Democrats step into the Empire State, Jacobs disputed accounts the moves are a sign of a lack of confidence in him as a leader. Instead, Jacobs said, his party is working in tandem with national groups, and the initiatives were a long time coming for New York Democrats, who have long needed the resources after being overlooked. All that messaging, including billboards and digital ads, is coming from a New York-based rapid-response war room handled by multiple communications and opposition-research staffers.

‘The Deep House’ is a horror mystery that follows a young couple down into a sinister house at the bottom of a lake. Ben and Tina decide to explore the underwater structure in the hopes of getting some hair-raising footage for their online following. A unique aquatic supernatural horror that offers a great twist on a typical haunted house story, even if it doesnt serve up immense frights. Maury and Bustillo are constantly brainstorming ideas and like to walk together for hours in the streets of Paris to come up with original concepts.

Ben is adept at finding unexplored, positively creepy locations to film and shares videos of his finds online. Looking to raise their online following, the two plan a trip to France to explore a sunken village. Just before leaving, Tina struggles to hold her breath for more than a minute and a half in the bathtub. However, when Ben asks, she confidently replies she can hold it for three minutes. 'The Deep House' is a conceptual marvel that is so strong in its underwater haunted house visuals, but performances and narrative intentions become soggy too quickly. All the technical aspects had to be done differently there, and it forced us to reinvent the mise en scene process and the way shots are organized,” says Bustillo.

Since the house lies at a depth of about thirty meters, by the time Tina sees light from the surface, she is almost unconscious from a lack of air. For a few moments, it seems like her desperate kicking might help her break the surface. Hence, the film ends on an ominous note, with both protagonists very likely dead. Ben is seemingly possessed by one of the ghosts when he is separated from Tina and therefore drags his girlfriend deeper into the house despite their dwindling oxygen. He briefly recovers when Tina stabs him out of panic and he comes to his senses.

Now, while patrolling the Mojave might make you wish for a nuclear winter, the games frame it as one of the more civilized areas in post-war America. While getting torn to shreds by Deathclaws or murdered by roving raider packs are still risks, there’s an actual semblance of law and order in Fallout‘s New Vegas and its environs, thanks to the NCR—and debatably, Mr. House. Of course, the home also comes with all the benefits of any Malibu address, including not having to pay the usual 4% mansion tax on sales in other parts of Los Angeles, and the Santa Monica Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. From the street, the box-shaped house sits discreetly at the end of a short driveway. To the right of the two-car garage, a stone pathway meanders through a landscaped courtyard and past a large rock sculpture to the architectural, double-height, glass-enclosed entrance offering immediate ocean views across the length of the home.

Guided by two tug boats, the Balsa 94, a bulk carrier headed for Saint John, Canada, traveled through the new, temporary 35-foot-deep channel followed by two more commercial ships later in the day. The fact that the only canon character we see from the games in the Fallout series (besides Dogmeat, kind of) is Robert House is extremely telling. In 2274, the New California Republic (NCR) set out to restore Hoover Dam, a crucial resource for just about everyone in the American Southwest—and massive enough to provide power for the entire Republic. But given the steep credit check required to enter, this bastion of pre-war debauchery remains beyond reach for many wastelanders. For those who can pay, though, it feels like, for a moment, maybe the Great War never happened at all.

‘The Deep House’ Review: Submerged Influencers Try to Escape a Watery Grave

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 idea for “The Deep House” came out of their shared love for the aquatic universe and haunted house films. “We were drawn by the idea of combining these two sub-genres,” say the filmmakers. With “The Deep House,” the French director duo Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo have revamped the haunted house genre by shooting almost the entire film under water. Panicked and with her air supply depleted, Tina flees into a secret satanic chapel, where she finds a shaft leading out.

Seemingly trapped inside the house and running out of oxygen, Tina begins to panic while Ben tries to calm her down. Thinking there might be a way out through the basement, they go back to the room with the two bodies and are shocked to see the corpses come alive. In an attempt to get away from them, Ben and Tina try to climb out of the chimney but are knocked unconscious by an avalanche of small rocks. The tension provided by dank claustrophobia and threat of suffocation, as air supplies dwindle, makes this house a very scary place to be.

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.

Missing-children posters and pictures of kids impaled on spikes soon make Tina panic, but Ben pushes on, hoping to get even more unsettling footage. After discovering two bodies suspended by chains in the basement, Ben finally agrees to leave. However, upon arriving back at the window they had initially entered through, the panicking couple is shocked to find it blocked by a brick wall. Anyway, Ben and Tina learn about a few houses that lie drowned in a lake, and trek to the “secret” locale, only to find it noisy with boaters and picnicking families and tourists. Their next stop is in southwestern France, where Ben follows a tip that proves disappointing until they meet a local man (Eric Savin) who claims to know where to find something very special.

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.

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.

That would be an intact entire house submerged by flood waters half a century ago, located a good drive and a lengthy hike away. Finally arriving at the designated lake’s edge, they suit up and dive in, Tina the more skittish of the two as usual. They have the technology to continue talking to one another beneath the surface; both also have lights and cameras, their additional filming “crew” being a drone they call Tom. French genre duo Bustillo and Maury’s latest is a haunted house tale whose clammy underwater setting provides the chills. Because it was used to hold captive and violently torture children, the house was sealed before the village was flooded.

“You can’t take it for granted because it never should have been taken for granted,” Hank Sheinkopf, a longtime New York-based Democratic strategist and president of Sheinkopf Communications, told USA TODAY. But Washington’s pursuit of an increasingly complex lattice of security ties is a dangerous game. Those ties include upgrades in defense capabilities, more joint military exercises, deeper intelligence sharing, new initiatives on defense production and technology cooperation and the enhancement of contingency planning and military coordination. All of that may make Beijing more cautious about the blatant use of military force in the region. But the new alliance structure is not, on its own, a long-term guarantor of regional peace and stability — and could even increase the risk of stumbling into a conflict. The spectacle was part of a carefully orchestrated series of events to showcase the renewed U.S.-Japan relationship — and the notable transformation of the United States’ security alliances in Asia.

The importance of the parks to Disney’s bottom line is also showing up in the entertainment giant’s search for Iger’s successor. (Iger is expected to retire in 2026.)

The Berry Farm’s Nightmare in the Redland

The federal government has hosted some of the most powerful people throughout history, so it makes sense it would come with a little haunted activity. Visitors, staff and White House residents have reported seeing the ghosts of Abraham Lincoln, Abigail Adams and Andrew Jackson. Among the witnesses, FDR, Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill have claimed to have seen the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. The Obamas even claimed to have repeatedly heard strange sounds and felt a sensation of someone gnawing at their feet in the middle of the night.

In an interview, Mr. Booth described several other inexplicable, eerie encounters that have led him to believe that his century-old house is haunted. Pictures that he’d hung on the wall he’d later discover placed perfectly on the floor with no broken frames to indicate a fall. He noticed vases moved to different locations, had momentary sightings of a ghost (an old man), and heard bellowing laughter when no one else was in the house. “There’s so many little things that sporadically happen that you just can’t explain,” he said. Dark Harvest is an interactive and fully immersive haunted house and haunted maze designed to terrify you out of your skin with a new theme each year.

Ghost hunter Newkirk says that more often than not, demonic possession and even a demonic presence is not behind whatever it is you’re experiencing. That’s why when you see things flying around your house without visible cause, you can be pretty sure that there is something—or someone—other than you in your house. “I’ve seen books thrown through the air by an invisible force,” Newkirk recalls.

In 1852, James “Yankee Jim” Robinson was hanged for grand larceny. A few years later, Thomas and Anna Whaley built a house on the spot of Robinson’s death. Today, Mr. and Mrs. Whaley, a young girl and the family dog have also been known to show up at the home in ghost form. Louisiana's known for its bayous, and 13th Gate is known for its swampy pools full of actual snakes.

Covered in a layer of soot, with windows broken and boarded up and trash strewn about the yard, the 2-story, 2,728 square-foot Craftsman-style home looks like an abandoned horror movie set. Locals refer to it as the Boise Murder House, or even more eyebrow-raising, the Chop-Chop House, which is a glib reference to the gruesome homicide that took place there more than three decades ago. As depicted in The Conjuring, the Perron family moved to the house in 1971 and immediately began experiencing strange things.

This process requires taking beer which has been completely fermented and adding to it beer which is still fermenting. The Krausening process in beer corresponds closely to the “bulk process” in making some types of sparkling wines. The most common users of this license are operators of micro-breweries and brewpubs. These designations are not to be construed as legal definitions. Whether you’re strolling along the city streets or heading off the beaten track, the Salsa 4 Air pushchair is a trusty companion on any surface.

I personally would probably choose between that and the Metro+, which, also, is the sturdier one, and has chunkier wheels which, for normal use, you will need. I am so thankful for your useful advices here, I’ve learned a lot about strollers.

The Disability Advocacy Network of Australia says housing remains one of the top issues people with a disability face every day. The government spokesperson said it did not want to make "building new homes more complex or expensive at this time". In a statement, the WA government said its decision not to sign up to the accessible design building code came after consultation with industry and stakeholders.

However, both hands need to be used for pushing, which seems logical for the type of the stroller. A spacious and easily accessible shopping basket is great for big shopping (even our baby bike fits there). I noticed that during the wet weather, the screws on the wheels started to get a bit rusty. This license is issued only to the holder of a beer and wine wholesaler’s license and authorizes the sale of brandy produced to persons holding licenses authorizing the sale of brandy. It also allows the exportation of such brandy by or for a winery whose wine the wholesaler handles. Authorizes the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold.

Well, that is quite normal, I mean, if something is not obviously missing. I just want to say that yes, compared to a larger stroller, they will always offer a bumpier ride, and they should not be thought about as daily pushchairs - read more about ultra-compact strollers here. The mobility of the chairs allows little travellers to face one another in transit, which is a lovely idea although the basket is difficult to reach if this setting is chosen. The pushchair is sturdy but also heavy and quite bulky, even when folded.

The compact all-terrain Samba 2in1 pram

Authorizes the production and sale of beer by breweries which produce fewer than 60,000 barrels per year. The privileges and limitations for this type of license are the same as for other beer manufacturers. The only difference is the license fees (see also Type 01 – Beer Manufacturer). “Steam” beer is made by fermentation at cellar temperature rather than near freezing as is the case with other beers. It contains no corn, rice or other cereal grains as regular beers normally do. The method of carbonation is entirely natural and involves a process known as Krausening.

Thus, neutral grain or other distilled spirits cannot be used to fortify wine – only brandy of a specific type. No more than 15% added flavoring or blending material may be added. This license is no longer available for purchase but may be transferred to another person. Issued to vessels which provide paying customers a social event lasting a day or a specific set of hours.

Brandy made by the distillation of wine or fermented fruit. Any licensee holding a Winegrowers License (Type 02) may apply for a wine sales event permit. For further information regarding a wine sales event permit, please see our Wine Sales Event Permits page. This type of license is frequently referred to as a “distilled spirits rectifier’s license”, which is incorrect since the license also permits the rectification of wine. This licensee may sell distilled spirits and wine without the need for any other license, but they may not sell wine to a person who does not hold a license that also authorizes the sale of distilled spirits. A rectifier may also elect to function as a distilled spirits wholesaler, but when doing so, they must comply with all of the provisions applicable to a distilled spirits wholesaler (BPC § 23371).
