Jimmy Rollins is a pretty even-tempered guy. He isn't one to feel or show a lot of anger on the baseball field.
But as Rollins stood in the batter's box with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning Saturday night, he could feel his blood beginning to simmer.
Ultimately, the little bit of rage that had built up inside Rollins turned out to be a good thing. He put a knockout swing on a pitch and lofted a solo home run over the left field wall to give the Phillies a 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins at Citizens Bank Park (see Instant Replay).
Rollins knew he had ended the game the instant his bat connected with Miami lefty Dan Jennings' 2-2 slider. As Rollins started out of the batter's box to begin his trot around the bases, he turned toward his own dugout and shouted a few choice words.
At first glance, it appeared as if Rollins might have been emoting toward his teammates. But upon further review, Rollins was giving an earful to a heckler in the box seats.
"Some fan in the stands popping off," Rollins said. "He was right behind our dugout. He was close enough to yell, and he pissed me off, honestly."
Rollins said the fan said "something pretty ignorant" after the first pitch of the at-bat. He would not expound.
But Rollins had no qualms recounting what he said to the fan as he broke from the batter's box.
"I very politely told him to shut the F up," Rollins said.
And that's just the way he said it.
"He started chirping right after my first swing," Rollins said. "I wanted to do it right when he said it, but I still had an at-bat to get through.
"You hear it a lot. A lot of times you want to say something back. This time I was able to."
Rollins was pressed as to what the fan said that made him so angry.
Again, he would not expound.
"Just a dumb comment," he said.
Rollins made it clear he found motivation in the dumb comment.
"It worked," he said with a sly grin. "He did his job."
The home run was Rollins' second of the season and his third hit of the game. He scored two of the Phillies' five runs. After losing four in a row, three to red-hot Milwaukee, the Phillies have come back to beat the NL East rival Marlins two straight nights. The Phils (5-6) go for a sweep of the series on Sunday afternoon.
"Guys are working very hard," Rollins said. "The work is starting to translate onto the field. The pieces are coming together."
The top of the batting order came together nicely in this game. Tony Gwynn Jr. batted leadoff for the second straight game and had two hits and scored two runs. Rollins had his three hits and two runs out of the two-hole. Chase Utley, the No. 3 hitter, had two hits and scored a run. Cleanup man Ryan Howard had an RBI single to make up for a bad error that cost the Phils a run in the second inning.
Jonathan Pettibone went just five innings in his first start of the season. The Phils have had just one starter, Cliff Lee, get through the sixth inning on this homestand. That puts a burden on the bullpen that could have long-term ramifications.
Pettibone gave up a 470-foot home run to Giancarlo Stanton in the fifth inning as the Marlins cut the Phillies' lead to 4-2. Two innings later, Justin De Fratus could not get an out in his second inning of relief. He gave up a single and a booming two-run homer to Stanton as the Marlins tied the game at 4-4.
Antonio Bastardo, Jonathan Papelbon and B.J. Rosenberg combined for three scoreless innings until Rollins homered with two outs in the 10th.
"He swung like a guy who had one thing in mind -- not to play any more extra innings," manager Ryne Sandberg said.
Rollins is hitting .316 (12 for 38) with two homers and 10 RBIs in his first nine games. (He missed two games on paternity leave.)
"Jimmy is playing well," Sandberg said. "He's swinging the bat well. He's setting the tone at the top of the order and playing good baseball."

UNION A whole lot of heart. The final home regular season doubleheader for the Union softball girls boiled down to that Friday afternoon.
The Bobcats beat Nyssa 7-1 in game 1, then rallied before falling 13-10 in eight innings in game 2.
The Bobcats and Bulldogs remain tied for second place in the Eastern Oregon League with 9-5 records. Pine-Eagle (11-3) travels to Nyssa today, while the Bobcats play at Weston-McEwen.
Pine-Eagle defeated Elgin by scores of 13-8, 20-4 Friday.
Two teams head to the district softball tournament next Saturday at Eastern Oregon University.
Pine-Eagle has one spot. The second spot is up for grabs between Nyssa and Union.
"We came out of it just as well as we went into it," Union coach Steve Robertson said.
The Bobcats dominated game 1, with Jennifer Sasser pitching a three-hitter.
"Sasser had her best game of the year," coach Robertson said. "Colbi (Robertson) and Kallin (Prince) in the outfield did a great job."
"We hit the ball aggressively all through the line-up," Robertson said. "We did a lot of great things."
Game 2, while a loss, showed the heart of the Bobcats.
"In the second game, we dug a hole," Robertson said. "The girls were not quitting. We kept battling back and put ourselves in a position to win it."
The Bobcats trailed 7-2 before scoring three runs to pull within 7-5 in the bottom of the fourth. Robertson made a pitching change in the fifth.
"Kallin came in and shut them down for two innings," he said. "We got right back into it."
In the bottom of the sixth, the Bobcats scored four runs to take the lead at 9-8.
April Savely got on base off an error. Robertson and Jana Brotherton hit back-to-back doubles, then DeeAnna Hall and Jaycee Waite got on base on errors. Melissa Helmer got a hit to close out the frame.
In the top of the seventh, the Bulldogs tied the game at 9-9. The Bulldogs shut out the Bobcats in the bottom of the frame to force extra innings.
The Bulldogs got four runs in the eighth off back-to-back doubles and a single.
In the bottom of the eighth, Lena Weitlauf's double drove in a run to cut the deficit to 13-10. It was the closest the Bobcats would get.
"Down 7-2, they could have rolled over," Robertson said. "It was the best job of battling back we've ever had."
Nyssa 000 001 0 1 3 5
Union 101 104 x 7 8 3

KC area bishop apologizes to parishioners
Monday, June 6, 2011
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Bishop Robert Finn of the Kansas City-St, Joseph Diocese said in a letter to parishioners that he accepts responsibility for not responding to warnings about a priest accused of possessing child pornography.
Finn's letter was read during Sunday services. He also apologized and said the diocese has to do more.
Finn also said last week that he regretted failing to listen to warnings about the Rev. Shawn F. Ratigan, who has pleaded not guilty to possessing child pornography. Finn also recently removed another area priest from his duties because of "credible reports" of sexual misconduct with minors.
The Kansas City Star reported that in addition, a federal lawsuit, filed by the parents of a girl, also alleges that Ratigan took photographs underneath her clothing and while the child was nude.

Psychic Ability! Do We Have It? Is it Dormant? Can We Really Unlock This?
By: Dodger Parks |
Book Reviews
An interesting book caught my attention a few weeks ago while surfing the internet. It's called Dowsing the Lottery and it claims that we all have some kind of psychic ability. Do to social constructs, these abilities lie dormant and unused in most of us. Through a system developed by the author, you can begin to revive those old psychic muscles and begin living intuitively using a dowsing pendulum and any traditional style lottery system as a way of practicing and gauging performance. I have had a few experiences in my past and can resonate with his premise. So I flopped down 15 dollars and purchased the ebook. Here is my review.

Tests are used only for cervical cancer screening and we all know that HPV virus can be cleared out, on its own, with no other health problems. Thus, there is no need to be tested just to check out if you have HPV.

LA MESA Question: What happens when a flock of harmonica fans and some of the best harmonica players anywhere descend upon a grassy La Mesa amphitheater for an annual harmonica festival?
Answer: Show up Saturday to find out.
The 14th annual Spring Harp Fest, taking place in a La Mesa amphitheater Saturday — on a day with temperatures expected to reach into the mid-70s — lines up performers including Rod Piazza and friends, Billy Watson and Ronnie Shellist.
There's also an opportunity for amateurs, dubbed the World Famous Unknown Player's Jam, where green crooners of all ages can show off their skills for a shot at a trophy.
Saturday's festival is free, but a $5 suggested donation will go toward funding blues classes for San Diego schoolchildren. A $10 donation will buy you a spot in the amateur jam.
The blues crew will get busy as of today. Here's the weekend's lineup:
• Harmonica seminar: Today from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Lafayette Hotel in North Park. Tickets are $35 at the door or $30 with advance purchase.
• Festival pre-party: Today from 8 p.m. to midnight at Tio Lio's, 5302 Napa St. in San Diego.
• Spring Harp Fest: Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Harry Griffen Park, 9550 Milden St., in La Mesa.
The annual festival, which was founded in 1999, partners with Blues Lovers United of San Diego, a local musical nonprofit group, to give the gift of music to local schools.
Last year, the festival proceeds resulted in a donation of $1,500 (and 300 harmonicas) to the nonprofit's Blues in the Schools program.

Lions claim third Division VII title in four years
LODI — Brad Gunter Sr. made his way to his son's office Monday morning, using a walker to aid his ailing back.
Gunter, normally a fixture at Valley Christian Academy's baseball games, wouldn't be able to attend the Sac-Joaquin Section Division VII championship final because of that bad back and other health issues.
He had a message for his son.
"In tears, he said, 'I don't care how you do it. Just find a way,'" head coach Brad Gunter Jr. said. "I'm proud of the kids, but I gotta take this to my dad on the way home."
"This" was a blue section championship banner, presented to the Lions after their 3-1 victory over Tracy-Millennium at Tony Zupo Field. It's Valley Christian's third section title in four years.
Gunter also planned to stop at Sacramento City College on his way home to watch Roseville play in the Division II final. He and Roseville coach Hank DeMello exchanged text messages, and Gunter alerted DeMello to the Lions' victory.
"The goal was to bring two banners back to Roseville," Gunter said.
It happened. The Tigers knocked off defending Division II-champion Rocklin 4-2 on Monday night.
In Lodi, Valley Christian (18-9) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on back-to-back doubles by sophomore Jimmy Shaw and senior Junior Casas. The left-handed Shaw stroked an opposite-field worm-burner inside the bag at third. Casas followed with an opposite-field drive to right.
Shaw stopped the Falcons (17-9) on four hits through four innings, but the Tracy school tied it in the fifth on Jamani Woods' leadoff hit and Daniel Yanez's RBI single off freshman reliever Jeremiah Moore.
"When they tied it up, it's going to take a big hit," Gunter recalled thinking.
The Lions got it from Casas, who launched an 0-1 fastball from Millennium sophomore Austin Larson high and over the fence in left-center to lead off the seventh.
"Man, it just changed everything. I was just pumped up. Speechless," said Casas, who had three of Valley Christian's four hits. "I just knew it was out."
Micky DeFiebre then was hit by a pitch, went to second on a wild pitch and scored when pinch hitter Joey Parker reached base on a throwing error.
"We were able to breathe just a little bit more," Gunter said.
Larson, with smooth mechanics, retired 16 of 17 hitters before Casas' bomb. Larson didn't walk a batter and struck out. He threw 10 pitches in the fifth, all strikes.
The Lions needed the runs. Millennium loaded the bases in the last of the seventh on a one-out single and back-to-back errors. Moore then struck out Tanner Carroll, and Millennium freshman Spencer Blackwell lined out to Perchaz in right.
Shaw and Moore combined to scatter seven hits and struck out six.
Valley Christian didn't win a league championship for the first time in 14 years, but it won another section banner.
"When that last ball was hit, I almost forgot that we had just moved Aaron to the scouting report. Because the ball was hit so hard, my heart sort of fluttered," Gunter said of Blackwell's hard-hit ball. "The scouting report said if he hits it hard, he's going to hit it there."

May 1, 2016
Spring weather conditions will continue across eastern North Carolina for the next few days. A weak cold front will drop into northeastern sections early Tuesday with some cooling across those communities. Highs will generally be in the 70s except middle to upper 60s along the Outer Banks and extreme northeast. Winds will be lighter than Monday with a mainly northeast component along the Outer Banks. Winds will be variable in most inland locations and that should reduce the fire danger a bit. Gusty winds are likely to return Wednesday with an increased fire danger. There is little or no chance of rain through Wednesday.

Grapery Cotton Candy Grapes
Cotton Candy Grapes Are a Circus For Your Taste Buds
When our editorial assistant Aemilia Madden brought in a container of Grapery's cotton candy grapes, editors flocked to her desk to try one of these mystical seedless green grapes that taste exactly like spun sugar. The secret isn't infusing the grapes with some sort of flavoring, as is the case with Grapples, or grape-flavored apples. Instead, Grapery worked alongside International Fruit Genetics to cross-breed thousands of grape varieties until they discovered one with a cotton candy-like flavor.
So, um, what exactly does a cotton candy grape taste like? Think: extremely sweet with very low tannins. These grapes leave a syrupy, vanilla aftertaste on your palate, just like spun sugar. And they don't just deliver on flavor. The plump grapes snap off the vine and have a satisfying firm texture while being incredibly juicy. Taste testers (even the grape and/or cotton candy averse) couldn't help but pop grape after grape into their mouths.
Now for the question you've all been waiting for: where the heck can you pick up these awesome green grapes? Though Grapery has limited retail locations, they do offer a four-pound pack ($20) that can be delivered straight to your door. Think four pounds is excessive? Just imagine all the co-workers, roommates, strangers on the bus, etc. that you can make happy by simply asking, "Hey would you like to try a cotton candy-flavored grape?" And when in doubt, freeze them! It's like you're eating bite-sized cotton-candy popsicles.

It is telling that "O ye of little faith" appears 4 times in the Gospels and "O thou of little faith appears 1 time. In each case Jesus was speaking to His own followers. The first 4 appearance are found in the Gospel of Matthew and the other one is found in Luke. Each time He used this phrase applies to areas of our own personal, daily lives as it did with His original twelve. Let's take a peek at the context of each situation where our LORD used this term when speaking to His disciples:
When speaking about provision and trusting God's hand to provide, Jesus said:
"Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Matthew 6:30
When Christ and His twelve boarded a ship and were in the middle of the sea, a great storm arose His disciples feared and doubted that Jesus would rescue them from this peril. Jesus wondered why they were afraid.
"And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." Matthew 8:26
When Peter joined Jesus in walking on the water and then began to sink, Jesus wondered at his lapse in trusting Him to save and sustain him.
"And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" Matthew 14:31
When 5,000 men, not including women and children, followed Christ to the desert to hear His Word, He suggested that those seeking souls be fed physical food. Christ's disciples then doubted how that was possible because they brought no food with them out there. They doubted how they would feed that large multitude because they were limiting things to their own finite ability. They were not trusting the miraculous workings of God. Jesus wondered at their lack of faith. The Son of God wondered why they didn't yet understand that He owns all and their lack of understanding that "with God ALL things are possible." (Mark 10:25) To their unbelief, Jesus answered:
"Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?" Matthew 16:8
Finally, Jesus wondered at how the LORD God was doubted in the clothing and protecting His own children.
"If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?" Luke 12:28
A Nugget to Encourage Your Heart
Just as the twelve struggled with unbelief at times, so, some of us do at times. Perhaps Jesus has whispered to us at times, "O ye of little faith." Take heart beloved, even the mighty prophet Elijah is said to have been "a man subject to like passions as we are." Yet, do you recall the mighty miracles God used him to do? Wow! Remember how he challenged, defeated, and slayed the 450 false prophets on Mount Carmel? (1 Kings 8) If God could use Elijah, He can use us because it's all about His divine power and He brings it through that one who learns to trust and have faith in Him, not self.
"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit." James 5:15-18
Trusting God Who is "A Very Present Help in Trouble"
Our LORD taught us to "Have faith in God" and that nothing would be impossible to those who believe. Here are the words of the Savior:
"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:22-24
As Christ taught on forgiveness, the disciples asked Jesus: "Increase our faith." This reveals that such a prayer, from a sincere heart, is welcomed and answered by God.
Are you ready to simply ask our LORD to increase our faith?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, firstly, I admit and ask you to forgive my unbelief. Please forgive me for having an evil heart of unbelief. Bless me to be filled with faith in Your love, provision, protection, and watch care over my life and the lives of all Your saints. I love You Father! I love You Jesus! Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit afresh and faith to believe to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. In Jesus' name, amen.

Marvell May Pay $3.5 Billion for 'Willfully' Infringing Patent
TheStreet) -- A federal-court jury in Pittsburgh has found in favor of Carnegie-Mellon University in a patent infringement case against computer-chip maker Marvell (MRVL - Get Report). The jury decided that Marvell infringed on a number of patents concerning computer hard drives. It awarded the university $1.17 billion in damages.And if that's not bad enough, the jury decided that Marvell willfully infringed upon the patents, which means the school might be due a lot more. If so ordered, Marvell might have to pay triple damages, or $3.5 billion in fines. For those keeping track, that's a larger sum than Apple was awarded (nearly $1.05 billion) in its landmark case against Samsung -- a jury decision still being fought in the courts. Two big jury verdicts of the past, such as Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) vs. Microsoft (MSFT) ($1.52 billion) and Centocor (now Janssen Biotech) vs. Abbott Labs (ABT) ($1.67 billion), were overturned on appeal. As expected, Marvell has released a statement saying it plans to appeal the jury's decision. -- Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com YORK (

Definitely better than WoWbreetality | June 27, 2013 | Review of Guild Wars 2 Digital Edition NA Overflow 1 - PC
I love that this game is not subscription based, it helps introduce new players to the genre with amazing mechanics and an immersive universe. I would say that this game is definitely worth it's full price and a definite buy on sale!
So stupid, but so funbreetality | June 27, 2013 | Review of Saints Row The Third - PC
Sure this game looks ridiculously silly, but when you start playing you can't stop! Especially really fun if you are playing coop, if it's on sale don't overlook buying it!

How do I go about doing this. I have done no research on it yet. I thought maybe I'd ask for advice here first. If someone would point me in the right direction by providing some web links I'd appreciate it. Does it cost to start & write a blog? If it does not what is the catch? If it is free am I required to sign up for & agree with a bunch of stuff that can cause spyware problems on my computer? I don't mind paying for things especially if it keeps unwanted stuff of of my pc.
Thank you.

The whisky market has room for growth, but it must find a way to attract younger drinkers, writes Jane Bainbridge.
Between 30% and 40% of UK whisky sales take place during the festive season, a combination of buying for hospitality and gifts. However, the market for the UK's most popular spirit has become flat, other than the dash of fizz Jack Daniel's has received from the 'JD and Coke' phenomenon. Scotch and Irish whisky producers need to find new ways of seducing under-45s if they are to please shareholders with a kick in sales.
Though the UK whisky market was worth an estimated £2.9bn in 2004, it is a market suffering from old age. Distillers are failing to attract new drinkers to the spirit, and the core market remains 45-plus males, according to Mintel.
The market is split between blends (at least three years old) and malts (typically 10 years old). Of whiskies sold in the UK, the main countries of origin are Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the US.
The majority of the market (77% by volume) is blended whisky, but this area is becoming commoditised, subject to heavy discounting by the supermarkets, and is also declining in volume terms.
The malt segment, however, is growing by about 10% a year by volume. The imported/deluxe categories are also on the rise and, combined, the three segments are sustaining the market's value.
While an ageing population means that the older demographic of whisky drinkers is not an immediate catastrophe, the sector requires a sexier image if it is to attract younger drinkers and build market value.
Whisky is not seen as fashionable among younger drinkers, who tend not to be exposed to it in the same way as other drinks categories. This is partly due to the fact that the spirit is rarely served with a mixer, an exception being Jack Daniel's, which is often combined with Coca-Cola by younger consumers.
Trading up
While there is some crossover by drinkers between categories, with consumers of blended whiskies often 'trading up', Mintel says many people who fall into the deluxe category are entirely new to the sector.
Malts, too, benefit from the trading-up factor, but also do well from the gift market. Whisky gifts are important for introducing customers to the sector and encouraging trial, with boxed malts proving lucrative. Christmas alone accounts for about a third of blended sales and 40% of malt sales.
Despite a heritage of small, independent distilleries, the whisky market has become highly consolidated, with about three-quarters of Scottish distilleries owned by just three global companies: Diageo, Allied Domecq and Pernod Ricard.
Diageo owns market-leading Bell's in the blended sector and introduced Bell's Special Reserve in 2003, a premium blend priced about £15 a bottle. Among its other brands are Johnnie Walker Black Label, a deluxe blend, and Johnnie Walker Red Label, the world's bestselling whisky. Its classic malts range includes Dalwhinnie, Glenkinchie, Oban and Talisker. In 2002 Diageo introduced its Hidden Malts line - four lesser-known brands that had not been widely available in mainland Britain before - which are priced about £25 a bottle.
Earlier this year the company caused a storm in the market by changing its Cardhu 12-year-old whisky from single to 'pure malt', a blend of malts, due to a scarcity of the single malt. It was accused of confusing drinkers and eventually reversed its decision.
Allied Domecq focuses mainly on the UK off-trade with its Teacher's Highland Cream whisky, whereas its Stewart's Cream of Barley and Ballantine's blends are sold predominantly to the export market and in duty-free outlets. Laphroaig is its bestselling Islay malt and Canadian Club its premium Canadian whisky.
Whiskies account for 40% of Pernod Ricard's volume sales. Its portfolio includes Irish whiskies Jameson, Black Bush and Bushmills, as well as Chivas Regal Scotch, the packaging for which was updated this year. Pernod Ricard's malts include Aberlour, The Glenlivet and Royal Salute.
Glenmorangie, one of the last remaining independent distillers, was sold in October by the Macdonald family, who helped form the company in 1893. It was bought by French drinks firm Moet Hennessy, which paid £300m for the Glenmorangie, Glen Moray and Ardbeg whiskies.
Jack Daniel's is performing very well, mostly due to its accepted mixability, with owner Bacardi Brown-Forman attributing 85% of its consumption being in combination with Coke.
The whisky industry is all too aware of the need to attract younger, drinkers and many companies have been involved in activities to this end.
Mixer appeal
The Famous Grouse is undergoing a £1m global repositioning, increasing the size of the grouse icon and introducing a more premium look. To attract younger drinkers, it is offering serving suggestions for mixing the whisky.
'There is still a stigma in the UK about drinking Scotch long with soft drinks,' says Derek Brown, brand heritage director for The Famous Grouse. 'But young people in continental Europe - including Spain and Greece - enjoy Scotch in tall glasses with lots of ice and mixers.'
The whisky trade is also trying to educate consumers about the region their bottle of whisky comes from, in a similar way to French wines. Scotches are now often branded as Speyside, West Highlands or Islay.
There is no doubt that there is room for growth of this sector, with only 13% of the population drinking blends and 10% drinking malts, according to Mintel. Hence the research company's forecast for the market is one of steady growth, with an increase of 7% in real terms to £3.2bn by 2009.

ANALYST COMMENT - Kevin Baker, Director, alcoholic beverages, Canadean
Despite losing volume and share to lighter spirits, whisky remains Britain's favourite tipple, with almost 9m cases consumed in 2003.
The UK market is dominated by blended Scotch, which accounts for almost 80% of total sales, but has been losing volume at the rate of 1.2% a year since 1999.
American whiskey, which accounts for 8% of sales, has been growing at almost 10% a year over the same period. Malt whisky and Irish whiskey are also outperforming blended Scotch and account for 6% and 4% of sales respectively.
Just two brands, Bell's and The Famous Grouse, account for a third of all standard blended Scotch sales. The top four brands in this area (Bell's, The Famous Grouse, Teachers, and Grant's) have bucked the decline in standard Scotch, posting marginal growth.
The deluxe Scotch segment, which is dominated by Johnnie Walker Black Label and Chivas Regal, has seen volumes grow. The latter has seen growth of almost 10% a year since 1999.
The malt whisky sector is led by Glenmorangie, acquired just a few weeks ago by Moet Hennessy.
Jack Daniel's accounts for 90% of US whiskey sales in the UK. Its nearest rival, Jim Beam, has just 5% of the category. Jack Daniel's is the fourth-biggest whisky brand in the UK and has succeeded in attracting younger drinkers. Its US heritage and relatively recent arrival in the UK in the 80s have allowed the brand to avoid the perception of being a 'dad's drink', an image problem affecting many Scotch brands.
Although it is likely that whisky sales will face a slow decline over the next few years, its position as Britain's leading spirit seems unassailable for the time being.

In 2013, Logger Beer was sold to Ma Ha Ling Beverage of Shanghai for 4.2 Billion dollars.
- Logger Light (GTA V)
- Instead of "since 1874", the bottles are labeled with "born 1874".
- The mascot for Logger Beer is a chipmunk.
- It is basically a play on words as it is pronounced similarly to "lager beer".
- It is possible that this is a parody of Coors Light.
- Near Cletus's second mission in GTA V, you can see a big lumberjack statue with a barrel of Logger Beer.
- According to Weazel News, "Logger Beer is made by rednecks, for rednecks."
