Heaslip hails defensive strength

Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip was full of praise for his side after they shut Fiji out in their clash in Limerick on Saturday night.
Heaslip, skippering an Ireland XV in a non-Test cap clash, was quick to express his pride in a young side that swept the Islanders aside 53-0 in a one-sided contest at Thomond Park. "I was quite proud of the performance of the squad," said Heaslip. "It was a privilege to lead out a side that was full of such an enthusiastic bunch of guys.
"We talked all week about focusing on our roles and getting the details right. I said during the week that we have been training really well and, against Fiji, we played how we trained. We didn't get any return last week (against South Africa) but I was quite proud to see the return we got this week."
He added: "I'm more pleased with the zero (conceded) than the amount of tries we scored, to be honest. It is really hard in international rugby, to be able to shut a team out and give them no scores at all. That zero was ... I'm more proud of that than the scores.
"It would have been really easy to take the foot off the gas coming into that last quarter but credit to the lads for not doing so. Fiji kept the pressure on and had a good bit of ball near our line but guys stepped up, put their bodies on the line and stepped up at pretty significant times."
Ireland will play host to Argentina in Dublin on Saturday in a game that is set to be crucial to both side's hopes of securing their place among the second group of seeds for next month's 2015 Rugby World Cup pool allocation draw.
Coach Declan Kidney admitted that he "certainly had a few selection choices" to make before the Pumas clash with hat-trick hero Craig Gilroy, flanker Iain Henderson and centre Luke Marshall among those to press their selection claims.
"It's a new time for Irish rugby," Kidney said. "There's a whole new squad coming through and some fellas got their chance and showed that they want more of it. It certainly makes going to work easier on Monday when you've got a win," he added.

A THIEF pushed a supermarket worker who stopped him stealing wine.
Former offshore worker Jeffrey Howe was spotted stealing alcohol from Tesco in Prince Edward Road, South Shields, for the third day in a row.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the 50-year-old did not cause any injury when he lashed out at the worker.
Judge John Evans told him: "Fortunately this did not result in any injury, otherwise you would be going to custody today."
Howe, of Ethel Terrace, South Shields, admitted theft.
Judge Evans sentenced him to a community order for 18 months with 80 hours unpaid work.
Graeme Cook, defending, said Howe resorted to stealing in November last year when he lost his offshore work, but has since been offered new, similar employment.
Mr Cook said: "Fortunately it was nothing more than a push."

iTunes Hum at Motorola, Apple
Updated from 7 a.m.
Motorola (MOT) and Apple (AAPL) have finally agreed on a stage to raise the curtain on the much-anticipated iTunes phone.
The iPod-inspired music phone -- which Motorola twice pulled from introductions earlier this year, apparently under orders from Apple chief Steve Jobs -- will debut in the U.K. next month.
The planned venue is a four-stage "V Festival" concert sponsored by Virgin Mobile U.K. on Aug. 20-21, says American Technology Research analyst Albert Lin.Virgin Mobile U.K. will be one of the first telcos to offer the phone, says Lin. A Virgin Mobile U.K. rep said Thursday that "there is no confirmation of when this phone will be launched" and that "it is not being launched at the V festival." A Motorola representative declined to comment on the iTunes introduction. But during Motorola's analyst day presentations Monday, CEO Ed Zander said the iTunes phone would be unveiled by the end of this quarter. Making a show of it, Zander read the audience a fake letter. "We're not going to launch the iTunes phone today. Steve Jobs is not going to jump out of a cake. And we're not going to launch it tomorrow," Zander said. "But on one of the 66 days left in the quarter, we're not saying which one yet ... Apple, Motorola and our biggest operator partners around the world will announce -- and ship -- the first iTunes phone," Zander said. He concluded the iTunes hype by adding: "We believe music will be the next big experience, the next big thing." Observers note that rolling out a music phone at a concert featuring more than 57 bands would harmonize with Apple's marketing style. The scuttled introductions earlier this year raised speculation that the phone companies couldn't agree on how to slice the music download business. But Motorola's Zander explained that Apple wanted to schedule the introduction when the music phone was available for sale. The delays seemed to have only fueled greater anticipation over the marriage of the iconic iPod and the ubiquitous cell phone. Meanwhile, here in the U.S., the market may have to wait a while. Though Virgin Mobile operates in the U.S., the service is a brand used to resell Sprint's (FON) network. Motorola's iTunes phone, dubbed the Rokr, is a global systems for mobile, or GSM, phone. Motorola does not have a code division multiple access, or CDMA, version of the phone that could be used with Sprint's network or for that matter with Verizon's. Virgin Mobile U.K., which has 4 million subscribers, sells service using Deutsche Telekom's (DT) T-Mobile network in the U.K. Industry watchers say it's likely that a GSM operator -- either T-Mobile or SBC (SBC) and BellSouth's (BLS) joint venture Cingular -- will be the first in the U.S. to offer the phone.

Insurers eye market for supplemental health coverage to fill various gaps
Kaiser Health News / The Washington Post, February 7, 2014
As out-of-pocket medical costs grow for many Americans, the insurance industry is offering a way to help and, at the same time, expand its business: by selling supplemental policies that may fill the gaps for consumers. Insurers are increasingly marketing these limited policies that pay cash after a hospital stay or specific disease diagnosis, such as cancer. Such products, which cost less and provide fewer benefits than conventional insurance, can play a role similar to "Medigap" coverage, which fills holes in the Medicare program for seniors, insurers believe.

****This is a white IPA and there is no category for it so the options were either Belgian IPA or American IPA and I thought it fit better in the Belgian area. It uses Belgian yeast.****
A-Slightly hazed deep golden color.
S-Amazing aroma...the hops and the spices combine to make a very interesting aroma. A lot of citrus (tangerines, oranges, grapefruit) along with the spiciness from not only the spices but the yeast notes. I'm not great on identifying spices but I get some black pepper (probably from the yeast), along with perhaps some curraco, and lighter corriander...
M-Finishes with a bit of a lemony tartness....body and carbonation right one....call it medium bodied with an upper medium carbonation.
O-Very interesting beer. The aroma is really something but the taste isn't far behind.

Alternative Post Title: People Are Really Going to Start Freaking Out if the Phillies Lose a Series to the Marlins
Our friends over at Beerleaguer penned a post yesterday we're kinda jealous of so we'll just link you and send you their way. It's titled "Breaking down the Marlins' god-awfulness" and includes such gems as:
The Fish as a team have only scored more than three runs in a game
once this season, and even that was fluky -- it came in a five-run
inning against the Mets that included an error and a passed ball.
The Marlins are hitting .217/.287/.283 as a team. When we say it
doesn't get worse than that, it really doesn't get worse than that. It's
like facing a team full of Dee Gordons. (Gordon hit .228/.280/.281 last
Alternative Post Title 2: Don't Pitch to Giancarlo Stanton Ever
And as a helpful guide, here are the guys who were in the Marlins' last lineup on Wednesday. You should get to know them before you watch most of them play for the first time this evening:
Juan Pierre, LF*
Donovan Solano, 2B
Giancarlo Stanton, RF**
Placido Polanco, 3B*
Justin Ruggiano, CF
Miguel Olivo, C
Adeiny Hechavarria, SS***
Chris Valaika, 1B
*Remember him!?
***Very tricky first name
