Beer Pals
Service Brewing Co.
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, GA
Community & Local Involvement
We are a veteran owned and operated craft brewery, in Savannah Georgia, dedicated to honoring those that have put their lives at risk and their country and community first. We donate a portion of our revenues to assist charities that support Service. We craft authentic American made beers for the curious and experienced consumer, focus on buying local whenever possible and in the same vein support the grassroots efforts of those giving back to those that have served.
Kevin's love for craft beer dates back to his first-ever Fat Tire Ale consumed in 1995, though his loyalty to his country began much earlier. In 2011, his girlfriend, Meredith Sutton, bought him a home brewing kit. He began tinkering with it immediately, fascinated by both the process and the product. These 5 gallon buckets and tubes would soon be the inspiration for something much bigger. A series of fortuitous coincidences led him to connect with several other Army veterans that worked with him to build a plan for a brewery inspired by their own military service and to honor the service of others.
Their First Keg
On July 24, 2014 we launched our beer to a capacity crowd at the American Legion in Savannah Georgia, the birthplace of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. We chose two charities to benefit from the launch event and raised over $4500. Service Brewing was thrilled to bring it's first kegs to a local audience that shared its values and story.
Other Breweries on the Rise
There are so many great breweries rising in the south. We are big fans of Wicked Weed and Burial Beer in Asheville, Ponysaurus in Raleigh, Cigar City in Tampa and of course Westbrook in SC.
Evil Genius Beer Co.
West Grove, Pennsylvania
West Grove, PA
Community & Local Involvement
Our goal is to help support the growth of the craft beer market. Helping to convert people to drinking higher quality, artisanal brews is the core part of what we do.
In 2008, our founders Luke Bowen and Trevor Hayward met in an accounting class at Villanova University. Realizing that their job prospects were grim due to the recession, they decided to follow their passion and start their own brewery.
Their First Keg
We sold our first keg to a bar in Mishawaka in Indiana. We started our company by contract brewing with a brewery in South Bend, IN, a little ways from home, but it got us up and running!
Other Breweries on the Rise
What a question! This one is just too hard to answer. There are so many new breweries opening with stellar quality brews, it would be impossible to pick just even a handful!
Cisco Brewers
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Nantucket, MA
Community & Local Involvement
We support just about every charity that has ever approached us! As long as there is a local connection… Mentoring Youth Nantucket holds an iron-man team event each year that we have been sponsoring for almost 20 years. The farm advocacy group, Sustainable Nantucket, for which my wife Wendy served as president back in it's early years, is one that we particularly enjoy being a part of. Their Farm Fresh Feast is always a great feed, and an awesome chance to showcase local agriculture. And the Holidays for Heroes group that brings wounded enlisted men to Nantucket for a vacation and a chance to share their stories is so rewarding to be involved with. The list really goes ON AND ON!
Cisco Brewers was founded by Randy and Wendy Hudson. Wendy started home brewing with some friends while living in California, but in 1992 she returned to the island and met Randy. Instantly, she not only knew that Randy was her soul mate, but that he would make a great brewer. And so she bought him a kit. When Randy and Wendy started selling beer, the entire operation-except the cold room, which was cooled by an air conditioner-was outdoors in the Lon's back yard. Wendy always called the original setup a "nano-brewery" because althought they dreamed about it, they certainly were not yet a "micro." Many people thought it looked like they were making moonshine and they were right! Cisco Brewers had the distinction of being America's Only Outdoor Brewery.
Their First Keg
We sold our first keg to the Chicken Box. Rocky Fox, one of the owners, offered us some sound advice when the resulting pints were only slightly fizzy- MORE MOTHER-F$*@ING CO2! We have to thank him over and over again for such sound advice...and for sticking with us in those early days...
Other Breweries on the Rise
The breweries ton the rise that I admire most are all gluten-free breweries! I have developed gluten sensitivity, and finding something palatable as well as hoppy has proven a challenge. The Brasserie sans Glut in Montreal who makes a beer called Glutenburgh is one of my favorites, along with the smaller domestic brewer in Portland, Oregon called Groundbreaker Brewing. Excellent stuff!
Speakeasy Ales & Lagers
San Francisco, California
In a typically foggy San Francisco summer in 1997, Forest Gray and his cadre of bootleggers were inspired to bring their unique and exceptional beers from the underground to the masses. Defiantly producing small batches of beer in a secret warehouse in San Francisco's long forgotten Butchertown District, Speakeasy quickly gained a loyal following with bold, complex beers and striking 1920s imagery. Starting with a single, iconic beer that immortalized the spirit of those who persevered when America's taps ran dry – a bold, hoppy amber ale known as Prohibition Ale – Speakeasy now brews a wide array of acclaimed beers from sessionable pale ales to bourbon barrel-aged imperial stouts.
River Horse Brewing Co.
Ewing, New Jersey
Ewing, NJ
Chris Walsh and Glenn Bernabeo were finance guys that had enough of it. They felt that they were finance geeks living in a world without soul. Grinding it out everyday for a fee, wearing suits and kissing butt. So they left that life and took the reigns of River Horse Brewing vowing never to look back. In their own words - "We may not end up as the greatest success story on earth, but at least we had the balls to try. Sometimes, for better or worse, your dreams get the best of you." Their goal is to make full-bodied, full flavored beers that are balanced and to have something that appeals to every lover of craft beer. They have stayed true to their word.
Finch's Beer Co.
Chicago, Illinois
In 1997, Ben Finch migrated to Chicago to attend The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As Managing Director of The Killswitch Collective, he discovered craft beer, and really fell in love with the architecture and design of beer. Drinking the likes of Goose Island and Two Brothers Brewing, two of the original Illinois Craft breweries, he quickly learned that creating something from scratch was a lot like his days of sculpting in school. After reaching out to Richard Grant, an old friend from college with brewing experience, Ben teamed up with his dad and went on to build Finch's Beer Co. into the success that it is today.
Westbrook Brewing Co.
Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston, SC
With a mission to make the most interesting, drinkable, and generally awesome beer possible, we love experimenting with different ingredients and brewing techniques. We hope you have as much fun drinking our beer as we do making it.
De Proefbrouwerij
Lochristi, Belgium
Lochristi, BE
The core value of the "proef" brewery is integrity: to strive for the cleanest and most honest recipe development and beer production process, both with respect to our employees, the environment, the authorities and our customers and suppliers, as well as towards our raw materials and products.
Moody Tongue Brewing Co.
Chicago, Illinois
After working as a cook in several kitchens and transitioning to the brewing world, Moody Tongue Brewmaster Jared Rouben realized that the lessons he learned while working alongside chefs could be applied in a meaningful way to the brewing process: evaluating the addition of each ingredient, tasting beers throughout the creation process, challenging palates to combine new flavors and, most important, never compromising on quality. As Rouben began his brewing career in Chicago, he also started exploring and combining a variety of local ingredients from farmers markets to inspire and enrich his beers.
Founders Brewing Co.
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Grand Rapids, MI
Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers both had steady jobs when they decided to chase their dreams and open a brewery–which meant writing a business plan, quitting their jobs, and taking out giant loans. They figured if you're going to live life, you ought to live it hard, without regrets. After some initial challenges, due to making well balanced but unremarkable beers, we were on the verge of bankruptcy. It was at this point that the original Founders team decided to brew the kind of beer that got them excited about brewing in the first place: complex, in-your-face ales, with huge aromatics, bigger body, and tons of flavor.
Almanac Beer Co.
San Francisco, California
Jesse and Damian collaborated to found the Almanac Beer Company—a brewery dedicated to producing seasonal artisan ales, brewed specifically to complement local cuisine sourced and prepared with the same great care and craft. We came to the brewing world by way of homebrewing. For years in our respective San Francisco apartments we'd brew five gallon stove-top batches, developing a passion for crafting unique and unusual beers unavailable commercially. Using farmer's markets as the launching pad for many unique homebrews, we knew right away we were on to something. We've taken that passion and adventurous spirit and decided to brew on a larger scale with the hope of sharing our vision with our community. Each harvest we partner with a different Northern California farm to supply the fruit used for our next brew. Every beer is a collaboration between us and the local terroir.
Gigantic Brewing Co
Portland, Oregon
Portland, OR
Gigantic Brewing Company is an independent, crafty brewery located in the Southeast quadrant of the Peoples Republic of Portland. Brewer/Owners Ben Love and Van Havig are veterans of the Oregon brewing community. At Gigantic we only do two things: make the best damn IPA in Portland, Oregon and produce seasonal, exciting, flavorful beers, most of which will be brewed only once. Our goal is simultaneously to create new interpretations of classic styles and to ignore those same style guidelines completely and brew whatever our creative natures produce. We hold ourselves to a simple principle – Never Give an Inch. We vow to start small and (stubbornly) stay small, focusing our efforts on making exceptional beer, rather than a lot of beer. When you drink Gigantic, know that we didn't just put our names on the label – our effort, imagination, and dry wit are in every bottle.
Het Anker
Mechelen, Belgium
Mechelen, BE
Beginning as a labor of love many generations ago in 1471, this Belgian brewery has had a little bit of time to figure out the nuances of brewing beer. Steeped in local history and a timeless art, thieir location can be traced back to the 15th century, when notably, Charles the Bold declared that beer brewed for the local hospital should not be taxed. In 1872, the Van Breedam family "modernized" the operations with a steam boiler. From then on, a revival in specialty brews supported the creativity and talent that Het Anker has come to be known around the world for.
Fairport Brewing Co.
Fairport, New York
Fairport, NY
Community & Local Involvement
Our love for the local community provides us with the opportunity to support a variety of different interests. We are supporters of our local football and baseball teams, helped found the first chapter of Girls Pint Out in Upstate New York, sponsor a team competing in the Tour de Cure for American diabetes and work actively with the local fire department to raise money through raffles and events. We've recently made a beer grill out of a keg, a table out of a barrel, and a specialty porter in a distillery keg that is being raffled off as prizes for the Relay for Life to support the American Cancer Research Society.
Fairport Brewing began as almost all breweries do, from a love of homebrewing. Tim and I met at a homebrew club meeting and talked about someday opening our own brewery in Fairport. Three years later we turned our dream into a reality and opened our NY state farm brewery in the fall of 2012. We are still a small local destination aiming to brew 550 barrels this year. We currently have 8 team members and are excited to continue our growth!
Their First Keg
We were very happy to sell our first keg to the Fairport Village Inn! They are an amazing neighborhood restaurant which was open to taking a chance with us - still a happy partner that has anchored our growing list of establishments that serve our beer on Tap!
Other Breweries on the Rise
With so many great beers out there, this is a difficult question! If I must pick a few, then I'll go with Galaxy Brewing in Binghamton and Swift Water from Rochester, I'm also a big fan of Smuttynose in New Hampshire and Great Lakes Brewing out of Cleveland.
Arcadia Ales
Battle Creek, Michigan
Battle Creek, MI
Community & Local Involvement
We love our hometowns! And, we're lucky enough to be located in two distinctive Michigan communities. Every single month, we hold "Drink One Down for Your Town." Every month, on the first Monday in Battle Creek and Tuesday in Kalamazoo, we total our tap sales and make a matching donation to a charitable or non-profit organization in that city. We're hosting the 2nd annual "Lost Paddle" kayaking event in partnership with Lee's Adventure Sports in support of the Kalamazoo Rivershed Council. We're also about to announce the first ever "Arcadia to Arcadia Adventure," a biking and running adventure from Arcadia Brewing Company Battle Creek all the way to Arcadia Brewing Company Kalamazoo. Last, but not least, we are extremely fortunate to be the stewards of a beautiful portion of Kalamazoo's Riverfront with direct access for kayaks and canoes, as well as the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail. We have adopted a portion of the KRVT, which is a mixed-used, paved, trailway for recreational activity. 1% of all sales of our latest release, Cheap Date Session Ale, will be donated directly to the Kalamazoo Parks Foundation towards the upkeep and expansion of this trail, that will eventually connect our two locations!
Established as a micro brewery in 1996 focusing on handcrafted British-style ales, Arcadia has grown under the founding vision of Tim Surprise. With a wide range of beers and plenty of awards to go with them, Arcadia Ales has developed an exciting approach that beer enthusiasts love to keep up with.
Their First Keg

Denver, CO
For those of you who don't already know me from the Brettanomyces Project let me introduce myself, I am Chad Yakobson and the Brettanomyces Project is an open source website which details the research and results from my Master's dissertation on Brettanomyces yeast species. This brewing endeavor is a culmination of the knowledge and inspiration I have amassed during the past four years of living, studying, brewing and traveling abroad. It's difficult for me to articulate the many experiences and ideas that have been born during this time into a precise summary. It is only through the beers which will be produce that I can best unveil the adventures I have been on and the bestowed inspirations.

Brew Bus
Tampa Bay, Florida
Tampa Bay, FL
The Brew Bus fermented in 2011 when our Founder Anthony Derby was a student at The University of Colorado. When he tried to visit 3 breweries in one day he quickly realized the need for a transportation service. When we first started out as a brewery tour service, we realized how important we were to the craft beer community. When we got a special license to serve beer on our tours, we decided to turn our bus into a tasting room by serving our own beer. Brew Bus Brewing is a reflection of that mind-altering experience you get when you see the inside of a brewery for the first time and drink a beer poured into your glass by the hands who made it.

Free Will Brewing Co.
Perkasie, Pennsylvania
Perkasie, PA
Dominic Capece and John Stemler started Free Will Brewing Company in 2010. They got started by brewing beer on the weekends as an active hobby they could also use to catch up with each other. When friends and family told the duo that their homebrews were so good they should open up their own brewery, they kind of shrugged off the idea. But when people in the beer industry sang their praises, they started to seriously consider it. The rest is history as they now have a respectable brewing facility (13,000 sq ft), a tasting room and continued growth in distribution. Free Will's team prides itself on its renegade attitude and independence that led to its founding. Hard work and consistently satisfying discerning beer drinkers has earned them a reputation of strong talent matched with genuine quality.
Rockmill Brewery
Lancaster, Ohio
Lancaster, OH
In 2008 one of our owners, Matthew Barbee, made a bold move and came back to work on his family's farm, a former horse farm located about 25 minutes southeast of Columbus, Ohio. Prior to this decision, Matt worked in Los Angeles but was eager to try something different; making a beer that pairs with food in a similar way that a fine wine does. As the grandson of a vintner he grew up appreciating the intricacies of what it takes to design a complex wine. It was through the introduction to the Brasserie Dupont's Saison that he realized what a beer really could be. Tasting this quintessential brew, Matthew began doing his research (both, of course, by tasting and reading) on all types of world-class beers. After having the farm's water tested to determine what style of beer he should start brewing, he was astounded to see that the results matched a similar minerality profile to Wallonia, Belgian's water. It has been five years since we introduced the beer to the public, an adventure that has introduced us to countless people who share our love for craft beer especially in the context of pairing it with food. We are happy that you have found us and hope that you might make it down to experience what we have come to call the "Rockmill spell."
Evil Twin
Brooklyn, New York
Brooklyn, NY
Evil Twin Brewing is a gypsy brewery originating from Denmark. Founded in 2010 by Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, Evil Twin produces limited-edition and one-off beers as well as a series of seasonal and year-round beers available internationally. Jarnit-Bjergsø, a former schoolteacher in Copenhagen, is also the proprietor of the Ølbutikken bottle shop in Copenhagen, which imports and distributes craft beer throughout Europe.
Hof Ten Dormaal
Tildonk, Belgium
Tildonk, BE
Brouwerij Hof Ten Dormaal from Tildonk, Belgium began operations in May of 2009. Prior to that, it existed as a family farmstead dating back several centuries. Roughly 30 years ago, the farm fell into the hands of the Janssens family, who for decades had no intentions of making beer. "We are famers first, not brewers," owner Andre continues to say. But indeed that changed a couple of years ago when the family decided to install a brewery on their grounds in order to make their farm more financially sustainable. The point of the brewery was to be very traditional, yet strictly ecological. This was not going to be an ordinary brewery. It was going to be a nearly 100% self-sustaining brewery. They'd grow all their own grain, grow all their own hops, cultivate their own yeast strain, and even power the brewery with rapeseed oil that they themselves would produce. Ambitious, yes. Crazy, one could argue. But the dream is now indeed a reality, and as far as we know, there's no other commercial brewery anywhere else in the world doing anything quite like it. To make matters better…their beers are stunning. Simple, yes, but they are designed to be – each brew containing a single grain, single hop, and single yeast strain. They are, however, nothing short of exquisite. Original Belgian farmhouse ales brewed strictly via traditional methods.
Off Color Brewing
Chicago, Illinois
At some point John and Dave were born. They did other stuff for a while and then they figured out they were better at making beer than at the other stuff. So that's what they do now. They met while both studied at the oldest and most respected brewing school (of the two...and by the brewers that went to the one) in the US, the Siebel Institute, in 2008 and the brewery was envisioned while they both interned at Metropolitan Brewing afterwards. Most of Off Color's business plan is based off of Doug and Tracy at Metro knowing what they're doing, so you should go buy some of their beer too. After cutting their teeth at larger breweries, the two somehow convinced enough otherwise-very-smart-people to invest enough money for them to buy some big shiny things to make their own beer in. So that's what they do now.
Caldera Brewing
Ashland, Oregon
Ashland, OR
Located in Ashland, Oregon, is dedicated to producing un-compromised quality ales. In 2005, Caldera became the first craft brewery on the West Coast to brew and can its own beer, helping to start a revolution. Today, six of Caldera's most popular beers are available in cans, with several more currently available in 22 oz bottles, and there's more on the way
Stillwater Artisanal
Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore, MD
"A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing." - Sir William Dobell. The goal of Stillwater Artisanal is just that, living art. Although packaged within a medium often overlooked for its artistic merits, our desire is to offer something new and intriguing. We present more than just a fine crafted beverage, rather an occasion that evokes an emotion and inspires contemplation. For art is not a sum of actions but rather an approach to life. We draw our inspiration from the world around us, whether that be a season, location, or even humanity itself. Our intent is to encapsulate this muse, exhibiting an artistic rendition to the best of our abilities.
Dochter Van De Korenaar
Baarle-Hertog, Belgium
Baarle-Hertog, BE
Brewer Ronald Mengerinks interest in beer started while biking to school in Twente (part of Holland bordering Germany) with a friend. He came across wild flowering hops growing along a ditch. Ronald was 15 and it ignited his interest in brewing. Up to that moment he only knew that beer was made with malts, hops, water and yeast. He later moved to Groningen where he lived for 12 years. In 1984/1985 he sold his self brewed beer called De Noorderzon (Northern Sun) until this brewery went bust. A mistake in a 5000 liter batch meant the end. Ronald went off the beermap for a while. Though costly he still calls it a good learning experience. His view on beer changed when he tried a Flying Dog Snake Dog I.P.A. and loved it, not the worst introduction to this style. The hoppy I.P.A. It was a revelation and back then a style that wasn't known much in continental Europe. During a trip to the U.S.A. he tried more good I.P.A.s, something that has definitely influenced his ideas about what beer can be apart from the usual Belgian and German styles. The use of hops led him into a new direction.
Their First Keg
The new brewery started in 2007 and takes his name from Emperor Charles V who in 1550 said that he preferred the juice of the daughter of the Ear of Corn over the blood of grapes. Behind their house Ronald and wife Monique built their own brewing installation and started brewing. Just two years later he already had his first prize: a silver medal for the Embresse Peated Oak Aged at the Zythos festival and another silver for the l'Enfant Terrible at the European Beer Star Awards.

By Lady Mary of Montevale
Features Reporter
The Pennsic medallions are relative newcomers to Cooper's Lake when you consider that they have been a part of the War only since Pennsic XVII.
Many Pennsic veterans remember the years when they received only a carbon copy of their paid fee receipt on a yellow slip of paper. When the War lasted for just Friday through Saturday of a single weekend, one might even manage not to lose it or have it get wet and disintegrate. Magistra Rosamonde of Mercia (Meridies) recalled that it was around Pennsic XV when there began to be a problem with gate crashers and attendees were told "You must keep your receipt." This was not a well-received request in some quarters.
It may have actually been one of the Coopers who suggested the use of some sort of metal medallion on the grounds that people would be both more likely to wear something that was permanent and attractive and to keep it on them for the entire War (which by then had expanded far beyond a three-day weekend).
Keeping your past Pennsic medallions has now become a tradition. Magistra Rosamonde, who has been to every Pennsic since the 9th one (that's a total of 32 Pennsics), wears all her old medallions on her broad-brimmed sun hat. The Pennsic XVII medallion is smaller and a bit plainer than some of the subsequent ones, with the simple black XVII being its most eye-catching element.
Some years there have been competitions for the medallion design in which anyone could submit a design for consideration. Other years, the Pennsic Autocrat (Mayor) has simply made a request for a medallion design to an artist of his or her choosing. Master Tristan Alexander said that for Pennsic XXI, the medallion was designed by the Autocrat, Duchess Sedalia MacNair, herself, because (as she admitted to him) she completely forgot all about asking someone to do it in time.
Master Tristan probably knows more than anyone else about the medallions because he is the only person to have designed more than one. The first (for Pennsix XIX) was done at the direct request of Duchess Sedalia and he has researched and created the designs for a total of eight Pennsic medallions. Most of them can be identified by the presence of a tiny set of his initials (TA) and a small feather somewhere on the medallion.
Associated with the medallion at Pennsic XX and for a few years thereafter were the T-shirts printed by Claus the Toymaker which he sold to benefit the Chirurgeon's Fund. His were the official Pennsic T-shirts. Today there are several merchants selling souvenir Pennsic T-shirts, but none of them are official, nor do any of them make use of the current year's medallion design. Each year the design is kept secret for security reasons until medallions are given out at starting at Land Grab.
When each year's medallions are stamped with the design, every one also gets a unique number. The Mayor of Pennsic each year receives medallion #1 unless he or she chooses to honor someone else by giving them that particular medallion. The first hundred numbers are reserved for the event staff. A section of the highest numbers are set aside for the food vendors' employees (often locals who live in the area of Cooper's Lake), and the rest of us get what is in between. Once pre-registration closes, a count is made to determine how many medallions will be made that year. This year the number made after pre-registration closed, but before counting estimated walk-ins, is 12,259.
Why do you have the number you do? Does it help to pre-register in January? No, it doesn't help. The numbers are assigned after pre-reg closes in June, using an alphabetical database of everyone who has pre-registered. If your modern last name begins with A, you will always have a very low number medallion; if your last name begins with Z… (sigh).
If you know someone who pre-registered for this year and did not come after all, you cannot pick up their medallion for them. What you can do is take a stamped envelope addressed to them over to Troll, and their medallions will be mailed after Troll closes at the end of the War.
The fate of unused medallions is uncertain. There are stories that one of the Pennsic merchants buys at least some of them to re-purpose in some way, but this has not been confirmed. The only two sure facts about unused and unclaimed lost medallions are these: there is a supply of a couple dozen unclaimed lost medallions from the last year or two at Lost & Found; and Troll admits to keeping a few old ones to give any under-5's (who must wear wrist bracelets) who become upset because everyone else in the family has a medallion and he or she has only the plastic bracelet.
Hlafdige (Lady) Arastorm told me an incident in her family which may have led to the required use of the wrist bracelets on the youngest Pennsic attendees. It was Pennsic XVI, and she and her husband were so busy setting up the family's tent, they did not immediately notice their 3-year-old son had wandered away from camp while wearing nothing more than a diaper. They began searching and feared the worst when his diaper was found near the old swimming hole. However, the clever young man had meanwhile remembered that popsicles were available at the Cooper's Store and headed in that direction (sans diaper) to get himself one. Fortunately a friend of the family's recognized the child, determined Mom was nowhere in sight and assisted Security in getting him back to the right parents in the right camp. The bracelet with its information about parents and campsite was begun the next year so that any small child found out and about on his own could quickly be returned to where he or she belonged.
Many thanks to: Magistra Rosamonde of Mercia, Master Tristan Alexander, Claus the Toymaker, Mistress Livia at Troll, Hlafdige Arastorm, and a young gentleman at Lost & Found who all provided information for this article.

Reports from Monday's field battle tell the story of closely-matched forces leading to War Points for both the Tyger and the Dragon. The Middle took the first two points, while the East roared back to take the concluding three for an overall 3-2 point edge in the Field Battles. The final two battles in particular came down to just a handful of fighters from each side determining the final victory. Fighters reported ideal fighting conditions, near parity in numbers, and fulfillment of the promise of a fun fight.
As the Independent is still lacking in battlefield reporting, we have decided to let the pictures tell the story of Monday's battles

Zach LaVine dropped a season-high 21 points with seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and three 3-pointers as the Bulls were defeated by the Sixers on Wednesday night.
Sure, he's only played in six games but LaVine had enjoyed scoring nights of 19, 18 and 14 in his short time back on the floor. The Bulls have to like LaVine's progression and fantasy owners have to like how easily he's scoring and how well he's shot in four of his six games. Plus, he's achieved a steal in half of his games. With LaVine's skill set and his minutes on the uptick, there's no reason he shouldn't be owned in every league or any format.

July 5, 2020, 6:33 pmMike ConleyPG, Utah Jazz
Mike Conley, like several others, is expected to leave the NBA's Orlando bubble when his wife gives birth to a child.
Conley's third child is due in late August, so any departure will likely affect the Jazz's playoff roster to some extent. Utah will already be missing Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist surgery), though they still figure to be one of the best teams in the West's second tier of contenders. It was a frustrating first season with the Jazz for Conley and fantasy GMs, but he can flip the narrative with a strong postseason.

According to Shams Charania, the NBA has informed players that they will not be able to travel with their respective teams to Orlando, should they fail to be tested on one of two days before the scheduled travel date.
The report also says that if the player does indeed miss the said window to be tested, he will need to register three consecutive tests before traveling. This is a strict protocol, but one the league needs to enforce in order to ensure the safety of all of the players and staff who will be entering the "bubble" in Walt Disney World in preparation for the resumption of the 2019-20 season. There has been a lot of concern, especially with the growing number of cases being recorded in Florida.

July 4, 2020, 2:39 pmJimmy ButlerSG, Miami Heat
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald is reporting that a third Heat player has tested positive for COVID-19.
Derrick Jones Jr. is the only known player, though Jackson adds that the two latest cases are both rotation players. Florida is in terrible shape at the moment and the Heat may need to enter the bubble without three of their rotation options — those players may still join the team later but will miss out on valuable practice time. The NBA is going full steam ahead on their restart plans but the virus is going to determine whether or not things actually unfold according to plan.

July 4, 2020, 1:21 pmLandry ShametSG, Los Angeles Clippers
Shams Charania reports that Landry Shamet has tested positive for COVID-19 and is unlikely to join the Clippers for their trip to Orlando this week.
That leaves the door open for Shamet to rejoin the team closer to the season's restart, assuming he is feeling okay. Just yesterday it was announced that the Clippers closed their facilities after a positive test, so it appears Shamet's case was the culprit. The sharpshooter is averaging 27.5 minutes per game this season so if he's forced to sit out the Orlando restart it could have big ramifications on LA's backcourt rotation.

The NBA has released its schedule of scrimmages for the Orlando restart, with games beginning on July 22.
The league has tried to match up teams that are unlikely opponents for these scrimmages so nobody gets a really good look at what a potential playoff matchup might want to run. For example, the first day of scrimmages will see the Nuggets face the Wizards, the Nets take on the Pelicans, the Clippers against the Magic and the Kings vs. the Heat. Scrimmages will run through July 28.

Caris LeVert embraces challenge of being a leader.
LeVert has been an active participant in the racial inequality protests and admitted that basketball is very minor right now compared to everything else going on in the world but is ready for the NBA restart saying, "For me, it's just taking on that challenge of being a leader, being the leader of that group, going down there with some of the most experience on the team, playoff experience." In the 16 games since rejoining the starting lineup, LeVert has put up All-Star numbers with 24.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists, while shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range and leading the Nets to a 9-7 record over that span. The upward trajectory continues for the Nets' 20th overall pick in the 2016 draft.

Jordan Crawford has agreed to a deal with Russia's Lokomotiv Kuban.
Crawford last played in the NBA for the Pelicans in 2018 with career averages of 12.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 24.4 minutes. The career journeyman has played for five NBA teams since 2010 with a few stints with China in between. Since the beginning of 2019, he has played in Israel, China, Germany and now we can add Russia to that list.

Lance Stephenson is ineligible to sign with the Pacers according to Scott Agness.
Stephenson to the Pacers was being discussed in early March and made sense now with Victor Oladipo choosing to sit out the remainder of the season but this move apparently will not happen. The 29-year old Stephenson spent this past season in China where he averaged 26.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists for the CBA's Flying Leopards.

July 3, 2020, 10:10 pmAnthony DavisPF-C, Los Angeles Lakers
Anthony Davis has high expectations for the Lakers when they resume play later in July in Orlando, citing the long layoff as a favorable development for his squad.
As if the Lakers weren't already squarely in the hunt for an NBA championship. When speaking to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Davis said that he believes their "chances are higher just because we're all rested and we're all ready to go." Depth seems to be the most glaring issue potentially facing the Lakers as they prepare to make the trip to Disney World, as defensive stalwart Avery Bradley recently opted out of the remainder of the season. Bradley was subsequently replaced by well-traveled veteran guard J.R. Smith (who has a long history of playoff runs alongside LeBron James with the Cavs), but the team is still unsure of veteran center Dwight Howard's status the rest of the way. Other than Howard, the Lakers' roster is seemingly set for Orlando. Davis sounds like he's ready to rock, however.

July 3, 2020, 8:28 pmDeng AdelPF, Brooklyn Nets
Deng Adel, who played 19 games for the Cavs last season as a two-way player, is being pursued by the Illawara Hawks of Australia's NBL, which, notably was the team 18-year-old LaMelo Ball played for last season (and has attempted to purchase).
Adel had two short stints before last season with the Rockets and Nets in the Summer League and the preseason, respectively. He was originally a standout at Louisville but went undrafted in 2018 before hitching on with the Cavs on a two-way pact. This season he had been playing for the Long Island Nets, the Nets' G League affiliate, prior to the pause and ultimately the end of the G League season. Adel had registered averages of 11.1 points, 4.2 boards and 2.6 assists to that point. Also of note, Adel spent the lion's share of his childhood in Australia after his family moved from South Sudan around the time he was eight.

Once again, we were treated to a couple of fascinating parallel plots in tonight's episode of NCIS, "Hereafter."
In the crime story, the team was called to investigate the mysterious death of a marine who perished during training at Quantico. Turns out he died as a result of cerebral hemorrhaging, due to repeated blows to the head.
The team was provided some misdirection as a result of the discovery that the dead marine had participated in a fight club. Later it was learned that their commanding officer had been attempting to toughen his team up by wounding them repeatedly - basically, torturing them - in the same manner as his brother, who had died from his injuries.
The more personal story involved Leon Vance, who discovered that his wife had kept a separate bank account and a legal "separation of property" letter; he found them inside a safety deposit box that he didn't know about.
Of course, the immediate conclusion he came to - and by extension, the viewer - was that she was getting ready to separate from him prior to her death. The agony of that assumption was plain to see, as he tried to ensure his kids continued with their lives. He even went back to work while harboring that painful secret.
The writers did a great job with Vance's character, portraying him as a brittle and proud man who felt the need to shield his kids and everyone else from his anguish. It seemed sad to me when his daughter offered to help him sort papers and he declined, telling her that they needed to get into the kitchen and eat some breakfast. Or when his son asked him when he was going back to work, only to be told to get ready, because the car was leaving in 20 minutes.
It would have been better for him to have let them in, allow them to grieve along with him - but that wouldn't have been Vance, would it? It would have been someone else entirely. The truly bright spot occurred when Vance returned home after solving the crime, only to find his kids shrieking with laughter as Tony and Ziva chased them around the house. They needed that, he said. And he was right about that, just as he needed to smile at their laughter.
And how about that exchange between Tony and Ziva just as they got to Vance's house to babysit? The excruciating grimace on Tony's face was hilarious: he was truly horrified at the thought of being around them. Then this happened:
Ziva: DiNozzo, pull it together.
Tony: Kids. This is way above my pay grade. I spent the afternoon in a child care clinic when I almost lost my life.
Ziva: Stop stop stop stop. We're doing the director a favor, okay? We just need to be here, we need to be normal. Can you just please do that for a few hours?
Tony: Sure. Fine.
Ziva: Fine.
Tony: Only because you asked nicely.
Did you catch the laugh and smile they gave each other after that? Interesting to say the least, as was the fact that they both got into playing with the kids.
I liked the fact that Ziva finally had a brief heart to heart with Vance about the death of his wife. The beautiful/tender tension between them was portrayed so well by Cote de Pablo and Rocky Carroll. There was some great acting there.
The compelling conclusion tied up Vance's story nicely, with Gibbs making him realize that Jackie was merely preparing her kids and herself for a time when Vance wouldn't be around. The key point involved the fact that she started preparing around the time the NCIS building was bombed (end of NCIS Season 9 and the beginning of NCIS Season 10.)
I have to say: the writing, the directing and the acting on the show are stellar. Hardly a wrong note anywhere. If there is to be any criticism, it would be the idea of Tony continuing to be the clown and not evolving more and more into the strong watchful Tony we saw in "Shiva." Maybe it's time for someone else to play the clown for a while. Deputy Directory Craig might fit that role, or Palmer.
Some final thoughts:
- It was good to see Abby, even if only for a little bit, as she had at least one great line from the NCIS quotes of the evening: You could totally rock an eye patch Gibbs. And that's not important.
- Missing from the picture entirely was Jimmy Palmer He wasn't in either of the autopsy scenes. What's up with that?
So, what did you think of this episode? Did you see any plots holes? How do you think Deputy Director Craig will leave? Or will he?
Steve Marsi has set up this week's round table to discuss this episode. We're stumped about whatever it is Gibbs is building in his basement. Come on over and check it out. It's here: NCIS round table.

I'm going to be reinstalling windows xp, and the primary master IDE is a smaller 10 gig drive.
I'm pretty sure that if I tried to install all my programs back onto the C:\ drive that they'd not all fit.
Is it possible to get my Program Files directory to point to a partition on one of my larger drives, so I don't end up with some of my programs on C:\ and others on D:\, E:\, etc?

Hi all,
I've been having one of those really annoying problems that you just KNOW must be some damn simple setting somewhere and can't for the life of you figure it out.
I wanted to write a simple java program to use Apple's DNS Service Discovery APIs to broadcast a service on a wifi network (for the Bonjour zero-configuration protocol). The code itself is very simple (and runs on my friend's computer).
However, when I run this code I get the following runtime exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jdns_sd in java.library.path at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at com.apple.dnssd.AppleDNSSD.<clinit>(DNSSD.java:596) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source) at com.apple.dnssd.DNSSD.<clinit>(DNSSD.java:529) at server.ServiceAnnouncer.registerService(ServiceAnnouncer.java:22) at server.Main.main(Main.java:17)
Now I must say that there was some fishy things going on when I was installing the Bonjour SDK. First, it didn't install. I forget what the error message was, but it prompted me to go to Control Panel and uninstall 3 items marked "Java Update blah blah". It installed after that, placing a bunch of files in C:\Program Files\Bonjour SDK\ . However, the files seemed to be different than those on my friend's computer. Namely, I couldn't find a dns_sd.jar file anywhere. So I got that file from my friend, placed it in a folder on the desktop, and added to the project.
In my desperate attempts to fix this, I also added any directory with Bonjour SDK files to the PATH variable and edited the eclipse ini file to run the java vm with the -Djava.library.path option, again adding those directories to the path. All to no avail.
So if anyone knows how I can fix this situation, I would highly appreciate it. Alternatively, if anyone knows how I can purge all java related files, settings, registry values, etc. (WHATEVER THERE MAY BE) out of my system in order to do a clean install with all the files in the right places, that would be good too.

The Lieutenants
They were the young ones, the bright ones, the ones with the dreams. From the Nazi-prowled wastes of North Africa to the bloody corridors of Europe, they honorably answered the call. War - it was their duty, their job, their life. They marched off as boys and they came back - those who made it - as soldiers and professionals forged in the heat of battle....

Good read by great author
I enjoyed this book. The story was engaging and the voice acting was good.
I've just finished reading Griffin's Corps series, and I'd say the characters in this series aren't quite as engaging as 'The Killer' and Pickering from the Corps books, but a couple do stand out, such as the young Lieutenant and his German girl, and it's certainly still a very good book.
One thing it's worth noting is that very little of this book actually takes place during WWII, despite what the blurb might lead you to believe. Most of the book occurs in the immediate aftermath of the war in Germany (where the author himself served) and in Greece, where conflicts occurred after WWII. That's not a bad thing, I just thought it was worth pointing out. There's several action sequences during the Greece part of the book.

Not just a Novel about War
I was pleasantly surprised when I started listening to this novel. I had been steered towards W.E.B. Griffin by a friend of mine but had been dragging my feet about reading them because of the "orders" that are so numerous within the novel. I knew that if I had to read them I would soon find myself bored to tears and skimming more than reading.
When I discovered them here at Audible.com I was delighted. I knew that I would be engrossed in the story and could easily get through the "orders" if they were read to me, rather than being forced to read them myself.
The Lieutenants gives a wonderful foundation for the series, giving us the background needed to follow the 4 main characters throughout their careers and their personal lives.
Griffin is a first rate storyteller, making his characters memorable. I found it difficult to turn the book off.
As a narrator, Eric G. Dove is pure delight to listen to. Griffin's writing stands on it's own, Dove however, breathes life into the characters, not just the males but the many women portrayed in the novel as well. He personalizes each character so that even if you have not listened to the novel in a few days when you hear his voice you know which character is speaking.
What I have enjoyed most about the series is that even though it is military based, it is not all about war...the novels are about life, military life and as a military brat, I do have first hand knowledge of what military life is like.
My only concern at this point is that even though there are 9 novels in the series, Audible.com, only has 4 of them recorded with the 4th not being released until October of 2012. I do hope that the other 5 will be forthcoming.

A Classic Series
I wonder if something like The Brotherhood of War could be written today. Begun over thirty years ago or thereabouts, it candidly but often light-heartedly tells a tale that begins where and when the author served, Germany immediately after World War II, and follows the personal and professional lives of a very diverse cast of characters as they rise through the ranks in the aftermath of the Second World War. During this time, the very nature of war was thought to be changing, though no one quite knew how.
Despite war and the profession of arms forming the core of the story, combat makes up very little of the narrative. Instead, we come to know the characters through the way in which they conduct their lives; the degree to which they play the army's political games, the passion with which they pursue the women they love and the degree to which they remain faithful, and ultimately the bond that links them as fellow officers. Along the way, we get a colorful depiction of life in the post-war army.
As we watch them grow, we see the army transform to meet the challenges of the new Cold War. We see this in the advisory duties two of our new lieutenants in this first volume, as well as the hints that the airborne legions that stormed into Normandy may soon be a thing of the past. Later installments would deal with the advent of army aviation and the rise of the army special warfare community.
These new unabridged editions are quite good productions. Dove's reading thankfully imparts a great deal of humor and self-awareness but also can bring seriousness and drama where appropriate.
Across nine volumes starting with this one, the army's triumphs and tragedies forms the backdrop for the drama of some extremely memorable personalities, and some of Griffin's best characters. This is why after all these years, technical errors, typos and continuity problems aside, the series as a whole remains a favorite and an easy recommendation for anyone remotely interested in a good story about soldiering. For the price, you simply can't go wrong.

Great Series!! One of W.E.B. Griffn's best.
This is a great series to introduce someone to W.E.B. Griffin. If you listen to this book you will come back for more. Mr. Griffin gives a unique perspective to the military culture, I believe he does it justice. W.E.B. Griffin is not only a good writer he is a generous person, he is one of the few writers that goes above and beyond for his fan's. I sent him a few books a while back and he was gracious enough to sign them for me. How many authors these days are willing to do that for their avid readers? I digress, The Brotherhood of War Series is defiantly worth listing to if you have never listened to it before, and is worth re-listening to if its been a while since you have.

Not really a WWII book.
This book is tied together because the major characters are simply Lieutenants. While it begins in WWII with a major character being captured by the Germans and sent to a prison camp, most of the book actually takes place between WWII and the Korean War. Sort of a soap opera with military families.
The part of the book that describes the escape from Germany is fast paced, but the majority is fairly dull. Nothing much happens in the entire second half of the book. The major characters go from one posting to the other and it's really a story about daily life in the military when there are no battles to fight other than with the Pentagon bureaucracy. If you have not read the Winds of War series go with that alternative, this is not quite as good.

Its about time!!!
I love this series. I have been hoping the early ones would finally appear. My problem is now I am waiting for The Captains. The early Corp books would also make great additions. These are stories I happily read/listen to more than once.

I first read this book, in paper format, almost 30 years ago and enjoyed it so much I subsequently bought and read all of the "ranked" sequels (The Captains, The Majors, The Colonels and The Generals). All were equally good and I was sorry to have completed the series.
While the characters in the book were well drawn and their life stories interesting, I asked myself why I was so taken with these books. Even 30 years after reading them I could remember events in the books and how the characters reacted to them, and it is unusual for me to remember specific characters and events in a light read 30 years after I finished reading a book. I finally decided that it was because WEB Griffin had developed such life-like characters with interesting backgrounds and presented the military environment in which the characters function completely accurately. I spent 3 tours of duty in the military before leaving to take advantage of the GI Bill to attend both undergraduate and graduate schools and the events taking place in the book, the military characters and their wives and the world in which they live felt as realistic to me as it was possible to be. Even the military orders and letters of commendation sounded completely authentic and I could see, in the characters the writer created, traits and reactions to events that paralleled those of career military people I knew well. Nothing in the books seemed artificial, inaccurate or unreal.
I bought the Audible book with some trepidation. I had some concern that if the book was not well narrated I would be terribly disappointed and, if the book was well-done, I would end up buying all 9 volumes in the series. Still, the draw was too strong and I fairly devoured this first book, largely unable to put it down until I had completed it. Everything was as I remembered (with one exception described below), Eric Dove's narration was first class and I had a tear in my eyes when I reached the end of the book. And, as I feared, I ended up buying the remaining 8 volumes (during the Audible sale).
The one thing about the book that surprised me was the harsh language. These are soldiers and their manner of speech is representative of the way soldiers spoke, at least years ago, when this book is set. There is not too much of it and, while it did not offend me much (I have gotten more sensitive to it as I have gotten older), I did think I should mention it in case others might find it either annoying or truly offensive.
The characters, their lives and the events are all interesting and well presented. The world in which they live and function is both interesting and accurately presented. The writing is flawless. I feel able to highly recommend this book almost without reservation.

What did you love best about The Lieutenants?
This is a series that is about life in the military, but has super character development. I've read the entire series several times and still enjoy going back. Listening to the performance is a differenet experience.
What other book might you compare The Lieutenants to and why?
The only other series of books following a set of characters that compares is Tom Clancy's
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I use the recording of the book to escape during excercise, yard work, etc. so I don't do it all in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
Great series....hopefully the others in this series will be available soon!!!!!

Soldier's Stories at their very best
I do not know what took me so long to find the Brotherhood of War series, but now that I have, I cannot pull myself away from them. I read and listen to military history with an insatiable desire. I tend to stay away from fiction, but I must say that W.E.B. Griffin weaves a great story line through historical periods, with great characters that draw you in and make you care. He gets it right in both history and mindset. The narration by Eric G. Dove, is very good, however, his pronunciation of some of the German could use some help. In my opinion there is no way your coming away from the Lieutenants, without going on to the next book in the series. Listening entertainment at its best...

Another wonderful series
At first I wondered why the book was titled the Lieutenants. The narrative just didn't seem to fit the title, not that I minded but it seemed to talk about the Colonels and Generals and not the Lieutenants. After awhile it became clear that two Lieutenants were the central focus of this book. If Audible had the second book of the series "The Captains I would have down loaded it right now. I will when it is available. Good stuff.
