Dining Guide
The FoodBar
Wading River, NY 11792
Le Soir has been my favorite restaurant for 30 years. My whole family and extended family have enjoyed memorable meals year after year. Jasia is a gracious hostess and the new decor is beautiful. From appetizer to dessert, it's all top notch. My personal favorite is the steak au poivre. Everything is expertly prepared. I've never met anyone who hasn't loved Le Soir and its' longevity speaks for itself.
Excellent Restaurant. Everyone should be so lucky.
We have been at the BrickHouse Brewery many times. The recent addition of Charles Noll and Brew Master has enhanced the quality of the fine brews they serve. The menu is extensive and the specials are always great.
The service is very good even on busy nights. Now there is a paved garden in the rear of the restaurant that lends itself to beautiful outdoor dining.
Overall rating: Very good. Value: extremely Good.
This place is the best, Miami on Long Island and the food is fantastic!

It seems to me that once fermentation stops, the solvation of atmospheric gasses combined with Brownian motion would allow oxygen to slowly enter over time, making an airlock inferior to a balloon which self seals once fermentation has completed.
On this day, I wish a cold brew and warm company upon thee.
The time that takes is longer than the time my beer stays in fermentor. Plus even when no activity is noticed in the air lock does not mean activity has ceased in the fermenting chamber.
Balloon's aren't necessarily oxygen impermeable, in fact as pressure in the balloon builds, I'd imagine the barrier becomes more permeable. The rate of oxygen dissolution into water and then back out again would be significantly lower than the passage of oxygen through the walls of a balloon or plastic fermentor, particularly given the differences in area.
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own!
twitter.com/2kidsbrewing .. facebook.com/2kidsbrewing .. 2kidsbrewing.com
sounds like an engineer question, and i'm not an engineer, but here's what i think. as the beer ferments, it creates a positive layer of pressure over it of co2. it forces all the o2 out, and as the pressure reduces, the co2 spreads a little, creating a fairly high pressure layer throughout the fermenter, all the way up to the airlock. this increased pressure on the (vodka, in my case, in the airlock) keeps o2 out. only if the extra co2 was bled out, which should not happen under any circumstances, would the pressure be reduced enough for 02 to bleed in
1: Honey Malt APA
2: Roasted ESB (mistake by the LHBS in recipe)
3: Skeeter Pee
Fermenting: Hoegarden Saison, German Pilsner
The system looks like this:
with | representing an interface between phases. There is a chemical potential difference across each interface which depends on the differences in activity of oxygen in each phase. If a phase contains no oxygen then its chemical potential is infinitely less than an adjacent phase which contains any oxygen and oxygen will, if the interface is permeable to it, pass into the phase at lower potential. Thus an airlock full of water does not prevent the migration of oxygen from the atmosphere into the water, from the water into the headspace and from the headspace into the beer. At equilibrium the amounts of oxygen in each phase will be the amounts required to zero the potential across the interfaces. The beer will contain approximately 8 mg/L oxygen. The saving grace is that it takes a long time for equilibrium to be reached. Provided the beer is only in the carboy for a couple of weeks the amount of oxygen reaching the beer will be very small.
An airlock isn't really airtight, but then again, neither is the space station. They're both, however, close enough for what you need.
Think about it: Locks don't keep criminals out. Locks just make it harder for criminals to get in.
Now, replace locks with airlocks and criminals with oxygen.
I went to school with Brown, he was a real doucher. I wouldn't listen to anything he said.

Leeds, England-based singer-songwriter Eaves sounds remarkably mature for an artist who's only in his early 20s. The three songs on his upcoming Old As the Grave EP forgo the '90s-style fuzz and postmodern electronic sounds of most buzzy young acts, presenting his songs with bare-minimum arrangements that give his deft melodies and crystal-clear voice plenty of room to breathe. The songs recall low-key folkies from Nick Drake and Fairport Convention to Bon Iver, but Eaves's emotive vocals and the hint of darkness that he adds to them—even on the lilting piano ballad "Timber"—make them feel bracingly original.

Weaves have a hot new rock song with an NSFW title
Weaves has a slippery sonic identity that can change radically from song to song, turning on a dime from fuzzy electropop to a compellingly weird amalgamation of the B-52's and UK postpunk to straightforward power pop. It might make for a confusing listen if the group didn't have frontwoman Jasmyn Burke's distinctive achey voice to pull it all together, as well as the chops to pull off seemingly whatever style they tackle.
On their latest single—whose title EW style prevents us from publishing in the headline, but which we can tell you here in the body of this post is actually "S–thole"—the Toronto four-piece sounds a little like The Pixies at their proto-grunge best covering a Burger Records stoner-pop song. The single comes out Oct. 20 through Buzz Records.
Synths and psychedelia collide on Canopies' 'The Plunderers and the Pillagers'
Milwaukee electro-psych-pop quintet Canopies have a lot of synthesizers and a lot of patience. Despite the buzzworthiness of their sound, which should resonate with fans of MGMT, the group eschewed the urge to rush into releasing its first album and instead went two solid years with a pile of vintage equipment patiently assembling their debut, Maximize Your Faith (out Dec. 9 on Forged Artifacts).
The payoff to their slow-moving approach is apparent on the intricately layered instrumentation on "The Plunderers and the Pillagers," which you can spend multiple listens peeling apart to find the nifty little flourishes woven into the mix. Or you could just sit back and enjoy the song's expansive hooks and crackling energy, which make it an excellent choice for starting off your weekend with a synth-heavy bang.
Icelandic indie rockers Ourlives unveil 'Blurry Eyes'
Over the past few years, Iceland has emerged as an unlikely indie rock hotbed. Sigur Rós remains the best known of Iceland's bands, but there are a bunch coming up in their wake, including Reykjavik duo Ourlives. The pair consider themselves indebted to acts like Coldplay and Radiohead, but on their upcoming album Den of Lions (out Oct. 14 on Spartan Records and available for pre-order on iTunes and vinyl), they aim for something less ostentatiously grand but just as interesting, and on the track "Blurry Eyes," they sound almost like a dreamier, less anxiety-ridden version of Interpol.
Member Jón Björn Árnason calls the track "a song we wrote about addiction. It's about addiction being an easy escape from the everyday life—and about being afraid to face each day and the duties that come with it. The lyric 'blue heaven' is a reference to the way the summer is in Iceland, as it doesn't stay dark very long—in fact, the sun is up most of the night."
Reviewing Thom Yorke's 'Tomorrow's Modern Boxes': A surprise delivery -- and a pretty great one
On Friday, Radiohead frontman and dance enthusiast Thom Yorke snuck up on the Internet and delivered another sonic sucker punch. Not only did he announce that he had completed a new solo album called Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, but that said album was already available via BitTorrent.
For a nominal fee of $6, hardcore fans were entitled to download a bundle that included all eight of the album's tracks plus the unnerving music video for the track "A Brain in a Bottle": READ FULL STORY
Hear two new delicately chilled-out pop tunes from Icewater
Icewater began as three guys playing around with self-penned country songs in a Brooklyn apartment, but after four years, the acquisition of a drummer and a bassist, and the tragic passing of member Grant Martin, the band has reinvented itself as purveyors of chiming, clean-toned indie pop built on a rootsy foundation with a glassy psychedelic sheen. Imagine Wilco if they'd abandoned their proggier tendencies and taken up residency as the house band for a very classy but chill drinking establishment, and you should be in the right neighborhood.
The group's been splitting its time between performing its own material and serving as the backing band for Eleanor Friedberger. They have a followup to this year's Collector's Edition LP in the can but no solid plans yet for releasing it. While they plan their next move, they're releasing a two-track EP, out Oct. 7, which they'll celebrate with a release party at Williamsburg, Brooklyn's Baby's All Right on Oct. 15. You can hear it here right now.
Purling Hiss conjure weird, gritty VHS vibes with a playlist
Singer-songwriter Mike Polizze occupies the weird zone where experimental art music and eccentric rock 'n' roll overlap: an odd but fruitful territory that's been home to generations of Weird Rock heroes from Frank Zappa to Ariel Pink. Recently Polizze's expanded his project Purling Hiss from a solo endeavor to a trio, upping the music's pop quotient in the process, and in the process created his most accessible album. Weirdon, released today on Drag City, delivers classic rock tunefulness enveloped in a haze of freaky vibes that feels a bit like the group's label mate Ty Segall but just a touch more tweaked out.
To celebrate Weirdon's release, Polizze compiled an exclusive playlist for EW that he says has "a gritty lo fi/VHS aesthetic." If you like your rock music weird and obscure, you're in luck.
Hear a 'bountiful autumn' playlist from The Drums
EW recently talked to Brooklyn indie heroes The Drums about their new album, Encyclopedia, and you can read the jumbo-sized Q&A with founders Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham here. We also asked the pair for a playlist, and they gave us 10 tracks covering an impressive range of sounds and styles, from ambient goth to jittery postpunk funk to the Disney Robin Hood soundtrack.
Indie pop goes digital on Cassorla's 'The Right Way'
Every so often, a session musician will strike out from the backline to lead a group of his own. Much of the time, the resulting music is technically impressive but less than compelling—more or less underlining why he was playing backup rather than fronting a band in the first place.
But Ben Cassorla, who's toured with bands like Washed Out and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes (and, interestingly, Slick Rick), has proven himself to be an exception to the rule with his group, Cassorla. Back in the spring, he released an EP called Amigos—named for the group of buddies, including Aubrey Plaza and members of the Magnetic Zeroes and Blitzen Trapper, who played on it—that emphasized his nifty pop songwriting chops over any flashy guitar skills he possesses.
The band's about to head out for a fall tour with Blitzen Trapper. In preparation, he's recorded a new single. Co-produced by Mighty Mike, who's previously worked with Carly Rae Jepsen and Kelly Clarkson, "The Right Way" expands Cassorla's sonic pallette by combining his signature punchy, riffy rhythm guitar playing with glassy keyboard flourishes and trap music's flickering hi-hats, resulting in an odd but very interesting hybrid of indie rock and digital pop.
Nude Beach share a playlist of their inspirations, and it's kind of like a collage
Brooklyn trio Nude Beach have a rare talent for borrowing sounds and ideas from various high points in rock history without coming off like copycats. Part of the reason is that they tend to collage bits from different styles and periods within one single song — part of it's the quality of material that they're drawing from, and part of it's just a gift for writing undeniable hooks. While they're getting ready for the release of their third LP 77 and an accompanying fall tour, the band took a break to make EW a playlist of songs that inspired the album. Covering everything from modern jangle revivalists to classic country to psychedelic folk, it's proof that when it comes to making records, the band's working with top-shelf ingredients.
