My son and I are on the way to the grocery store and my phone dings. I ignore it. It dings again. Then my phone rings.

One of the many reasons we moved was to shorten our commute time. So, although I find myself driving less miles, I find that I am in the car for the same amount of time as I used to be (or sometimes for longer). Every morning and evening, I sit in traffic and look at the other cars around me: I see angry, frustrated drivers who are endangering everyone around them by not using turn signals when merging; I see sleepy drivers who are…

Fiction. Asian American Studies. THE LONG ROAD HOME is the story of three generations of women, beginning with a grandmother who as a young woman went to China as a Canadian missionary nurse and fell in love with a Chinese medical student acting as her interpreter. Shortly after anti-western sentiment sends her home to Nova Scotia, she discovers she is pregnant. Attempts by her, and later their daughter, to contact him fail. Her daughter, Meihua, goes to China to look for her father and winds up marrying a Chinese man and teaching art. The cultural revolution sees her sent to prison as a American spy and anti-revolutionary, and her husband confined to a gulag. Their children, still at home, are raised by the family's illiterate servant, Yao. Yao's crude manner and resourcefulness partly shield Yezi, Meihua's daughter, and the novel's main character, as well as her brother, from family tragedy, poverty and political discrimination, negotiating their survival during the revolution that she barely understands. Only after her mother is released, does Yezi learns about her foreign grandmother, Agnes, who now lives in Boston and has lost contact with the family since Yezi's birth. Curious about her American ancestry, Yezi decides to join her grandmother in the U.S. Reading her grandmother's diaries helps Yezi get to know her grandmother as a young Canadian missionary and her life in China with the man who is her grandfather, and who her mother still longs to find.Author City: Toronto, ON CANBorn in China, Zöe S. Roy was an eyewitness to the red terror under Mao's regime. Her short fiction has appeared in Canadian Stories and Thought Magazine.

Basically, these guys have been at sea for a few months, and they're all getting cabin fever, so when one of them sees a group of seals, he mistakes them for mermaids, and everyone else begins to see them, too.
Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming response... I really appreciate it.

Gold party
A gold party is similar to a Tupperware party in that a small group gathers at a host's home to sell their gold jewelry to a gold buyer.[1] They are becoming increasingly popular as people look for ways to raise money during the current recession.[2] The buyer, generally, weighs and tests jewelry and other items for party guests. The testing includes a variety of means, including acid tests, magnet tests, and other methods to determine gold content. If a guest decides to sell the items, the buyer pays her at the party, and the item is sent to a refinery to be melted down.[3] The host receives a commission for each sale, usually around 10%.[1]
Consumer advocates advise attendees to value their gold before attending a party, as valuations given at gold parties are not always the best possible price, and can be affected by the profit margins required by the two middlemen (the host and the buyer) between the seller and the refinery.[1][2]

Pastor tries to delay start of prison term
Published: Sunday, January 6, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 5, 2008 at 11:00 p.m.
Attorneys for a prominent Birmingham pastor convicted of income tax fraud hope a federal magistrate will delay the start of his 21-month prison term, a request opposed by prosecutors.
The Rev. Gregory Clarke, 53, pastor of the 6,000-member New Hope Baptist Church, has been ordered to prison on Feb. 15.
Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Greene will hear the bid to delay the prison reporting date at a hearing Wednesday.
Clarke was convicted in July of underreporting on his tax returns $110,000 in earned income. Clarke's attorneys contend the pastor received gifts and so-called "love offerings," not pay.
U.S. District Judge Inge Johnson sentenced Clarke on Dec. 20 to serve 21 months in prison for his conviction on three counts of filing false income tax returns.
Clarke's attorneys filed a notice with the court Dec. 27 saying they planned to appeal the conviction. The next day, they filed a motion asking that he remain free on bond pending a ruling on the appeal.
In the Dec. 28 filing, Clarke's lawyers Mark Hoffman and Sam McCord say he is not a flight risk or a danger to society.
Prosecutors said there are no questions of law or fact stemming from his conviction.

Ranking among the legendary Italian builders, Azimut has created some of the most elegant designs on the water, each so striking and fashion-forward that passengers sometimes feel a sense of privilege sitting on board. In addition to its lines, the brand is known for its best-in-class engineering, construction and fine finish. Synonymous with sophistication, the company that was founded in 1969 by Paolo Vitelli when he was still a student in Italy also works hard to maximize production efficiencies and keep prices competitive while continually introducing new models to stimulate interest. Each model in the Azimut range–which includes flybridge yachts, the S Collection of sport yachts, the Magellano range of Italian-style trawlers, and the Grande collection of superyachts– reflects the attention to detail and the styling excellence associated with the best in Italian manufacturing.

I have a AMC 304 in my Jeep Wrangler. Every since i've had this engine it has seemed to want to eat up the cam and dist, gears. I can go maybe 3k miles on a set of gears before it eat them up. Oil is found on the end of the dist. when pulled but I belive for some reason it is starving for oil in the front cover area. It had just been re-built when the engine was purchased. I have been battling this problem for about two years now and I'm just wondering if anyone out there has had this problem or known anyone who has? Also if you have is there a simple fix I'm over looking?
I have the same problem. Have you prurchased matching gears yet. I recently purchased matching gears but haven't ran them yet. Got the front end apart and decided to upgrade my steering and brakes.
Timing gear problem I have had much experiance with this problem. Some of it comes from aftermarket cams.One of the only ways to REALLY repair it is to replace the timing cover and distributor (or at least the dist gear) with a known good unit. I took a wagoneer to the crusher last year..but before,I took the timing cover, cam gear and distrubutor off the engine. I have had them for sale off and on since. Waiting for someone to really need them. I will take $150 for everything. I spent hundreds of dollars and many painfull hours trying to fix this very same problem on my wifes cj7. Finally I found a junkyard engine and removed the needed items...Inspected them ...And found no real wear on the gears..installed them..problem solved. So if your tired of screwing with it give me a call or PM me. Bob 828-231-0966
yea my jeep has Crane cam. i have been told that maybe in the installation process that they may have goten the cam bearing oil journals off a bit and it let some oil through but not enough to really coat. i have been told to run a thicker oil and run Lucas oil for coating and maybe it will stop this problem. if not then i'm tearing down the engine and while i'm in there she's getting a steroid shot to boost power. so either way i guess i'm winning
Believe me it will not!! i tried everything! cam anti wal kit,special mached hardend gears,added a special oil line to drip oil directly on the gears. Etc etc etc! Nothing works! If you don't want to buy my parts thats fine..but find some somewhere!
cam gear issue I remember an article in magizine years back with this issue, it an oil stavation problem. If recall someone made a kit to add an oil drip line to the top of the timing cover to fix this. You can make it real easy get everything from local autoparts store. get an oil pressure gauge kit and run it from oil jacket off block, then drill and tap a port in timing cover over the gear. install the line and that should help the problem. I had a 360 with large cam and it would burn them up in couple days. once did this it was cured
First time in 30 years, I've heard of this. My 79, original 304, had 95000, on it, when it was rebuilt,due to burnt valves. My mechanics main concern, was any wear in the front cover, were the oil pump rides. Installed a Wolverine RV cam, original cover, still going great, with another 50000!
I built my 360 with a mild after market cam and installed a 1 wire HEI distributor. Fired it up and had a hard time setting the timing during the break in. Found out why. The cam gear was eaten up by the dist. gear. Bought a matched set from crown and havent had a problem since.
x2 Bulltear has a nice set of matched gears (as well as just about anything else you could want for an amc engine, including a great knowledgebase on the forum)

Financial FAQs
NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, just announced 2014 the warmest year in recorded history, and 14 of the last 15 years as the warmest in recorded history.
Yet Paul Krugman in his latest NYTimes Oped still seems mystified by conservatives' opposition to Good Government—such as denying the results of NOAA, the government organization mandated to track global warming (or maybe he isn't, really):
"And why this hatred of government in the public interest? he writes. Krugman cites political scientist Corey Robin's explanation that conservatives in particular are "…reactionaries. That is, they're defenders of traditional hierarchy–the kind of hierarchy that is threatened by any expansion of government, especially when that expansion makes lives of ordinary citizens better and more secure."
That, of course is the definition of a conservative—preserving the status quo. I would posit there is another, deeper reason for the denial of scientific results—whether it's climate-related, or the record income inequality that almost all economists agree is real.
It's called the bully mentality that has been discussed in prior columns. Bullies are those who want to dominate others without regard to reason or even common sense. And they appear periodically when prevailing cultures or societies lack strong leadership—positive leadership, that is.
Wikipedia defines it as, "Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual."
For instance, school bullying is at an all-time high, and has been the reason for many of the school shootings by those who have felt bullied. The NRA is a classic institutional bully—demonizing opponents with falsehoods, such as its campaign of "guns don't kill people, people kill people," in wanting to remove all gun controls, even though assault rifles with expanded magazines have been used in all the mass shootings to slaughter dozens, even hundreds before they were stopped.
Political bullying is another example. Republican bullying, particularly the Tea Party types that called compromise a dirty word, began when a very inexperienced Barack Obama became President who had no apparent experience in dealing with bullies.
And that is the point. Bullies have a wholesale disregard for scientific truth, or any other, and only stop bullying when they are opposed. America's bullies can only be stopped with equal and opposing force, and where are the leaders capable of that?
Senator Elizabeth Warren is popular because she has been willing and able to stand up to the financial bullies. She sees Wall Street and the financial industry as classic bullies that need to be opposed at every turn to reverse the record income inequality. Hence her opposition to the just-passed $1.1 trillion federal budget authorization that extended the deadline for Wall Street institutions to divest themselves of the riskiest derivatives.
"Pretty much the whole Republican Party—and, if we're going to be honest, too many Democrats—talked about the evils of 'big government' and called for deregulation," Warren said at the recent AFL-CIO National Summit on Raising Wages. "It sounded good, but it was really about tying the hands of regulators and turning loose big banks and giant international corporations to do whatever they wanted to do."
"These families are working harder than ever, but they can't get ahead. Opportunity is slipping away. Many feel like the game is rigged against them—and they are right," Warren said. "The game is rigged against them…. The world has changed beneath the feet of America's working families."
Maybe President Obama finally understands that it's not in the nature of bullies to compromise as he proposes policies on immigration and reducing carbon emissions (such as rising CO2 levels that even the Pentagon has foretold could result in future wars) that require executive action only, which will benefit all Americans. It doesn't look like the new Republican Congress wants to compromise, which means they don't want government to work at all if it will benefit Main Street, rather than Wall Street.

Reprinted at the request of RBS Bulldog Football Fans
Story By: John Ferguson
Think fast - when can a head coach with a career record of 4-9 be called a success? When his name is Kyle Shoulders, head coach of the rising Red Boiling Springs Bulldogs.
Rising? With a record like that? Well, yes - but, to understand where this is going, you have to know where the program has been.
The loveable losers
Most everyone in Tennessee knows about Red Boiling Springs. Not many know where it is, but they know what it's famous for - 0-61.
Before the 2009 season, the Bulldogs had not won a game since Week 9 of the 2002 season. Six consecutive 0-10 seasons - that kind of streak is hard on the soul.
None provide affluence. Money comes hard there, as evidenced by the string of empty shops you drive past on the way to the school. The growth in the county is all to the west, in neighboring Lafayette.
Most towns like this rally around their football teams as a source of community pride and unity - 0-61 makes either seem hollow.
The only tradition the Bulldogs had was losing. Their latest stretch of futility wasn't even the worst in the program's history - the team went 0-63 between 1986 and 1993. From 1986 to 2008, the football program was 18-212. As one coach described it, "Everyone wanted to schedule us for homecoming."
Coach after coach threw himself into the maw - 1980 RBS graduate Tony Boles stepped up in 2003, and then stepped down, winless, in 2007. He was followed by Scott Baughn, who survived one winless season before leaving for personal reasons.
Reasons for the streak abound. The school only enrolls about 200 students, one of the tiniest in the state. Money for anything is scarce. Some of the home situations are not the best.
Maybe losing was to be expected.
Too young to know any better
In April 2009, Kyle Shoulders was chosen from four applicants to fill the head coaching vacancy at RBS. The 26-year-old was well aware of the history of the program, having graduated from nearby Macon County High in 2002. His senior year of high school was the last time the Bulldogs had won.
After earning his teaching degree from Middle Tennessee State University, Shoulders returned to Macon County to teach and coach, serving as offensive coordinator for the Tigers.
"Actually, the losing record was a bit of an encouragement to me," Shoulders said. "I knew I could make it my own. I could bring in my own staff, my own traditions, and start moving the program in the right direction."
Shoulders started by calling some coaching friends and asking them a crazy question: How about coming to Red Boiling Springs?
The new Bulldog staff brought both youthful exuberance and winning expectations with them. Jason East, 28, coached at state powerhouse and district-foe Trousdale County, a program diametrically opposite RBS in terms of tradition and success. Longtime area football stalwart Bob Fitzpatrick, who played at Tennessee Tech and coached at Macon County, came on board as a volunteer.
"They may have thought I was a little crazy when I first called them, but then they realized that we could all be on the same page together, building something from scratch," Shoulders said.
Shoulders then added an even younger Jeremy Phillips, who at 22 is enrolled in college and working towards his teaching degree. Phillips doubles as coach and scout team quarterback - put pads on him, and you would be hard-pressed to separate him from his charges.
Even the managers were young - two sophomores and a junior.
There's a new sheriff in town
The staff went right to work on all aspects of the program. They refurbished the stadium, finding a good field under years of neglect. They tore old lockers out of the field house, renovated the weight room, and created a better home away from home for the team. Next came tearing down the old bad habits.
"The old program had no summer workout program, no conditioning, and no two-a-days in preseason. In fact, one of the first things we had to correct was attendance at practice," Shoulders said. "In years past, boys would just skip practice."
Shoulders dropped two rising seniors from the team during the spring; in fact, they were the two best athletes on the squad, including the presumptive starting quarterback.
"They didn't want to do the work," Shoulders said and shrugged, telling a story about one hot day during the summer when the team was out running through town. The young man in question drove by the team, radio blaring, laughing and yelling.
"He had told some players that he'd be back starting for the team in the fall, after skipping all the conditioning and training. One of the team members came and asked if that boy could come back, and I said, 'No.' I think that sent a message to our boys."
The staff set four lockers slightly apart and named four captains not for their ability but for their leadership in the classroom, in the hallways and on the field.
A new start
There's a sign on the wall in the weight room that reads, "Did I make my team better today?" It is a mantra that the new staff spent the spring practice and summer instilling in the Bulldogs.
"We never talked about the losses," Shoulders said. "We always looked towards the future, and told the boys 'Don't look back.' "
Instead of a spring scrimmage, the team played a Red vs. White game - quite a feat for a club with only 28 players. However, the combined infusion of youth and commitment sent a jolt through the community, which turned out in numbers for the spring game.
That energy, in turn, helped motivate the players through the summer workout program. Their resolve resonated even more with the townspeople, who responded with more support in the form of money.
Signage along the fences of the stadium multiplied, the program began to see a little bit of money, and even though hopes were rightfully muted, the town turned out in full force on Aug. 21 for the Bulldogs' home opener against Oakdale.
The Eagles never knew what hit them.
Running back Shelton Watson rushed for a touchdown to give RBS an early lead. Quarterback Cody Dickens found Brandon Kelley in the end zone for a late first-half strike, and Kelley picked off and returned an Oakdale pass in the dying seconds of the quarter, giving the Bulldogs a 21-0 halftime lead. Dickens rushed for one more score in the third, and the team celebrated wildly as the crowd rushed the field at the final horn. Red Boiling Springs 28, Oakdale 12.
Two weeks later after a bye week, a last-minute touchdown pass against visiting Pickett County brought some strange new vocabulary to town, words never associated with RBS football.
Undefeated, and on a winning streak.
Teaching an old Dog new tricks
Reality crashed down the following Friday, when Watertown hung 50 first-half points on the RBS squad. The Bulldogs finished the 2009 season with a 2-8 record. The young pups were competitive in three other games down the stretch, giving hope that the program was indeed on the rise.
Coach Shoulders, now teaching on campus at Red Boiling Springs, has seen his roster grow to over 30 players. The habits and training patterns introduced by the coaching staff are no longer new and strange to the boys, and after a calendar year together, the team has been able to expand their basic playbook and football I.Q. The tragic death of sophomore lineman Brandon Tidwell during the summer galvanized the feeling of team and family. The program is moving forward - the proof is found in their 2-0 start this season.
That success, however, brings a whole new set of challenges.
The burden of expectations
At the base of the hill atop which the school stands is Big Ed's BBQ, home of some of the best grilled and smoked meat you'll find anywhere. The place is only open Thursday through Sunday, and a sign on the door lists the operating hours as, "open until sold out" - which, according to the locals, happens quickly. "Get there early," advised Coach Fitzpatrick, who walked in himself about thirty minutes after recommending the place.
Through the aromatic hickory smoke, owner Nathan Brown pointed out a perceptible difference around town."People come in on Saturdays and want to talk about the games," Brown said as he moved some chicken around on the grill. "That never used to happen. But the biggest difference is in the boys. They come down here after school to get some food, and they carry themselves differently. Now, they're proud of the jersey they're wearing, compared to before."
The staff also noted the change. "There's a big difference. On game days, you see the team colors all around town," Michelle Bell said, serving a steady stream of customers, many of whom were sporting RBS outfits in anticipation of the night's game.
Those rising expectations present a whole new set of problems for the RBS coaching staff, a fact not lost on Shoulders.
"As the season progressed last year, it was a struggle at times to keep the team motivated, especially in some of the lopsided games," the coach mused. "It's harder to be a 2-8 team than a 0-61 team."
That makes sense, in a strange way. When you expect to lose, and everyone expects you to lose, then there is no pressure - simply fulfill the self-fulfilling prophecy. 0-61 is a novelty act, a sideshow ... 2-8 is just another struggling football team.
The team, and the town, are both learning what it means to expect success. It's called building a program, a task Shoulders and his staff do not take lightly.
"We want the boys to feel the pride of being part of a program," Shoulders explained. "I tell them all the time that it takes a special breed of person to play football. Not everyone can put in the time, heart, and effort necessary to have success in this sport."
The staff emphasize to the boys the concept of Being a Standard, and hope that the program produces young men who go on to contribute to their community and society when they graduate. Along the way, Shoulders also works hard to instill in the team a love of the game itself.
"We try to show them how important football is to them while they're playing. As a player, I took some things for granted - now I wish I could go back, just for one more practice, one more game."
"We've tried to instill in these boys the importance of attendance, a good work ethic and dedication - I'm glad that their hard work paid off, and they've gotten to show off what they earned."
By: Coach Glendon G. GattisMacon County girls tied for third with David Lipscomb with 84 points. The tie was broken with the results of the 6th runner. David Lipscomb finished in 3rd place, Macon County in 4th. The top 3 teams advance to the State Meet.
"Our girls ran well, led by Freshman Katie Swindle in 3rd place and Senior Mackenzie Painter in 10th, who both qualified for the State Cross Country Meet. The top 5 scorers were rounded out by Freshman Jasmine Chaparro, 20th, Sophomore Terra Pryor, 34th, and Junior Meerim Talipova in 37th. Sophomore Katie Hix, who has been battling an injury most of the season finished in 47th, and Freshman Casandra Wilson continued to improve with a 60th place finish. The girls raced more today rather than just running."
"The boys were led by the 7th place finish of Junior Andrew Emberton. Senior Taylor Boxold, still recovering from an appendectomy back in September finished in 29th place, while Freshman Mason Doss finished in 30th.Seth Smith finished in 38th, Jordan Kemp 62nd, Corey Eden 80th, and Dylan Sexton 95th."

Qui Tam Tips: How To File A Whistleblower Complaint

Unfortunately it doesn't happen that way. You'll need attorneys who have litigated big whistleblower qui tam cases before. You'll need investigators who know how to prove fraud. (5:50)

Recently got an AppleTV to go in an upstairs bedroom. Because there is no way to increase the wifi power signal strength on the standard FiOS b/g router, I decided to move the router to the middle of my house, instead of it being on one far end, directly connected to my PC. The problem with this is, now my PC's wifi speed is suffering. So Verizon, instead of releasing a new firmware for current b/g speed routers to be able to increase signal strength power, you are pushing out new N' speed routers. Unfortunately is push for the new routers are, "for new customers only"; unless you want to pay the non-refundable inflated $169.99 price of that said "new" router. The "over tightening" of current customers is no new thing for big companies always trying to acquire new customers, but if those new customers do not request a higher speed router, give them the old stuff. I don't understand why it is so hard to give current paying, and loyal customers the option to upgrade first.
Most un-sincerely, long time loyal customer.
If you can upgrade your STB to easily, why is Verizon making is such a hassle to upgrade routers?
Am I able to use a commercial router that I would buy in best buy or a store like that?

Have you stopped in a Verizon FIOS store, and asked if you could swap your "non-N" router for a "N-capable" router? I know of 2 people who have been succesful in that manner.
My two closest Vz stores are a three hour round trips, and I most definitely call before making trips like that. I have called both and neither have them in stock yet.

It was recently reported that the /admin/categories.php file in osCommerce contained a vulnerability that would allow someone to remotely add files to an osCommerce installation without. This could be used to add backdoor script, which would allow the hacker access to all the website files and the ability to run code on server. This could be used for a number of malicious purposes including added spam or malware to website. osCommerce has been a frequent target for hackers lately, mainly being used to spread malware, due to a number of security vulnerabilities in older versions. In SecurityFocus's advisory it was stated that version 2.3.1, which is the most recent version of osCommerce, is the vulnerable version. Using the exploit code they provided we tested the exploit and we found that version 2.3.1 is not vulnerable. Version 2.3, which included fixes for a number of security vulnerabilities and a number security enhancements, is also not vulnerable. Version 2.2rc2a and probably versions older than that are vulnerable if the workaround to secure the admin area has not been applied to them.

Make your own birthday pinata with a paper bagInstructions:
Put a small handful of candy in the bottom of a paper lunch bag. Stuff the rest of the bag with newspaper, leaving a little room at the top so you can tie it closed. Gather the top closed and secure it with a string. Then cut strips of different colored tissue paper that are at least an inch wide -- the wider the strips are, the less you?ll need. On each strip cut slits every half-inch to make fringe, stopping about a quarter of an inch from the edge so it can be glued to the bag. Starting from the bottom, start gluing your strips on your pi�ata. Once you?ve covered the entire bag, cut out a few streamers and glue them to the bottom to hang down. Hang your pi�ata and start swinging.Similar activities:

Record: 43 – 26 – 13
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Jets never saw it coming
Believed Rypien was rejuvenated, ready to revive his NHL career
Those in the know -- the select few in his inner circle and the men that suited up with and against him -- will always remember Rick Rypien as more than just a tough guy.
Oh sure, the 27-year-old could throw 'em, all right. And he would regularly and willingly drop his gloves to protect anyone wearing the same jersey as his own.
But he had skills beyond simply the grit and toughness that was part of his DNA. He could score, he was responsible in his own end and every time he stepped on the ice he brought that shift-disturber energy to the game that often had fans inching forward in their seats.
That alone made him appealing to those in the Manitoba Moose organization who first spotted him during his days with the Regina Pats, then to the Vancouver Canucks and -- after a handful of teams inquired in free agency -- finally back to Winnipeg and the Jets this summer.
Still, Rypien was much more than even that. In many ways, he had become the epitome of everything the Jets organization represented: the against-all-odds scrapper who made it to the bigs while stepping over or through every doubter and cynic along the way.
That's why his passing -- he was found dead in his Coleman, Alta., home Monday afternoon -- hit the Jets like a death in the family.
It's why as assistant GM Craig Heisinger occasionally fought back tears during a media conference Tuesday, owner Mark Chipman was spotted at the back of the room with his glasses in one hand, his head buried in the other.
"He loved being the style of player he was, the smaller-bodied guy that fought two or three weight classes up and often came out on top," said Heisinger. "We differed on some things, on how he dealt with some things, but I would say we had a fantastic relationship."
RCMP in Crowsnest Pass, Alta., called Rypien's passing a 'non-suspicious sudden death,' but his battles with depression are now well-documented. Rypien took two leaves of absences while with the Canucks for personal reasons, but after returning to the Moose in the spring -- Heisinger said he was arguably the club's best player in the playoffs -- and then signing with the Jets in July, he appeared to have defeated his demons and was refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to revive his career.
But when Rypien failed to arrive in Winnipeg Sunday night for an MRI on his knee Monday morning -- and just hours after checking with Heisinger about whether there was ice available for him to skate on -- alarm bells began to clang. He was also scheduled to run his annual hockey school in Coleman this week.
Heisinger said he was aware of some of the details of Rypien's death, but opted to leave their possible release to the family's discretion.
"There were no drug or alcohol issues... depression is the right word," said Heisinger. "I think he had a fantastic summer, but obviously that wasn't the case. He seemed really excited to be back here. I think there was a comfort zone here for him. He had an apartment all set up and was ready to go. So the question being, did we see any signs? No, we didn't. I never got the sense that there was any problems all summer. I spoke to other people in his support group and none of us had that sense... so, either something happened very quickly or we all missed the boat.
"I thought for sure he had made strides... I was happy for him because I knew how much he wanted to play here and there was a 100 per cent level of comfort for him here."
Heisinger first thought of Rypien as a pro prospect during his junior days in Regina and, in particular, after the Brandon Wheat Kings had throttled the Pats in a game at the MTS Centre. The next morning Rypien was blocking shots in practice.
"That's what attracted me to Rick Rypien," Heisinger explained. "I can remember going down to the dressing room after and saying, 'Tell me more about this guy' and it went from there."
It went from there to a regular shift with the Moose and, ultimately, to the bright NHL lights with the Canucks. There he also made an immediate impact with his teammates and with the organization, who were very supportive during his time getting treatment for depression.
"Over the course of the last three seasons, we participated in a variety of different initiatives with him and we were all really close with him," Canucks GM Gillis told The Canadian Press Tuesday in Toronto. "We had an understanding of what we thought was going on and had a number of outside agencies involved in assisting us and we felt we were on course.
"We felt he was making progress in a lot of different areas. When he signed with Winnipeg, we were all really happy for him."
In Vancouver, Canucks fans had set up a small memorial outside Rogers Arena by pasting posters and flowers to a concrete pillar and forming candles in the shape of Rypien's No. 37. Heisinger said the Jets would also likely honour Rypien in some manner this season.
In the meantime, the Jets organization is working through the grief of the loss of a man everyone called 'Rip.'
"This is all hard to put into words, it's been a challenging 24 hours," said Heisinger. "I'm hoping to not have to deal with this again. You learn lessons from these things. Rick always spoke about once he had this situation under control about trying to speak out and help other people. At the end of the day I'm hoping something like that comes out of this. I guess I'm having trouble seeing how it will right now.
"Through all this the Canucks never questioned anything. They paid him right through and the level of support they showed him was phenomenal. And from a Moose perspective he started his career here and he finished his career here.
"I think he gave a lot more back to us than we gave to him."
