Q & A: JACK HILLENOn the quick change from college FA to the NHL
[All this talk of Matt Gilroy and Tyler Bozak and this year's hot collegiate free agents made me want to track down Jack Hillen. A year ago, the Islanders signed the defenseman immediately after his college career at Colorado ended. He took part in one practice and played the final two games of the NHL season, both against the New York Rangers].
One day you were in college and the next you were in the NHL, and a lot of people could not believe how poised you were.
To be honest with you, I don't think I really took the time to think about how momentous it was. If I did, it probably would have been a different story.
Any advice to college players like Gilroy and Bozak, who could make the jump in the next week?
Nothing from my two games with the Islanders at the end of last season, but I definitely learned a lot this year. My message to any player going from college to the pros would be to remember how fun the game is.
At the start of this season, I spent way too much time thinking about this as my profession and worrying about whether I'd have a job at the NHL level and icetime and everything else. For a short time, it wasn't fun. My experience in Bridgey was a blast. I started getting back to why I love the game so much. I've kept that attitude ever since and I plan on keeping it that way. You play a lot better when you're approaching it with passion and fun and not worrying about things out of your control.
In your four years at Colorado College you played 30, 42, 38 and 41 games. This season you'll play more than 70 in the regular season and more when you rejoin the Sound Tigers for the playoffs. Yet you don't seem to be wearing down. What's the secret?
I think the issue of games played can be a bit overrated. I didn't find the transition so rough. In college you play fewer games, but you're on the ice just as much. We practiced Monday-Thursday and played Friday and Saturday. I think if you polled any hockey player, they'd tell you they'll take a game over a practice any time.
What was the best advice you got when you came into the NHL?
Billy Guerin said to me, "Kid, listen to your body. If you're tired, sleep."
What was a typical practice week at Colorado?
You practice all week for two games on Friday and Saturday. Monday was kind of a flow day, getting back after your one day off on Sunday. Tuesday was the hardest practice of the week. They could last for more than two hours and be intense from start to finish. Wednesday was all about systems and Thursday was special teams. On Monday and Wednesday, we lifted after practice.
An NHLer was telling me the other day about learning to get used to all the downtime. How is it different than college?
In college you don't have any. It's class and hockey. In the pros, the key is finding things to do after practice on non-game days. When we have weeks like last week without a game between Sunday in Chicago and Thursday at home, you can go a little crazy. You have to find a hobby.
What's yours?
Guitar. I picked it up about a year ago and I'm glad I did. It's perfect for all the down time. I play constantly.
If the Islanders had a talent show or made you perform as part of some rookie hazing, what's the one song you'd play?
I don't play for anybody but myself. And I don't sing. My fiancee suggests I move into another room the moment I start playing. I play Dave Matthews the most, but if I was forced to do a song, it would probably be something by Collective Soul. Maybe "Shine."

FF DIN Round supports 164 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, Russian, German and French in Latin and Cyrillic scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)
This welcome addition to FontFont's most popular family brings a softness to FF DIN's simplicity and industrial sterility. FF DIN Round is more than a "search-and-replace" rounded version of its predecessor.
Albert-Jan Pool and his team redrew each letterform to maintain the structure of the original. This ensures FF DIN and FF DIN Round will work well together in logos, slogans, price tags, etc. as compatible parts of advertising campaigns and corporate identities.
FF DIN Round is not only a good companion to FF DIN, its smooth and friendly curves make it work on its own for branding strategies for family cars, bikes, household appliances, sportswear, shoes, or medical products. It's also very legible on screen.

Described as "the true blue Willy Wonka," "eccentric," an "oddball," and a "savant," David Klein, I recently found out, is all of these things, and more.
David Klein is the inventor of Jelly Belly jelly beans, and he's got quite a story. Last week, I talked with David about his new documentary, Candyman: The David Klein Story, produced by his son and daughter-in-law. I'd been hoping to see this film, which chronicles David's Jelly Belly journey, so I felt like I won a first prize when he offered to send me a copy.
So far, I've watched this feature-length film twice. It's quirky and a little addicting. Ellia Kassoff, the owner of Astro Pops, LLC, says he's watched it four times.
I am drawn to this film because David is a walking candy Wikipedia. If I were writing a historical piece on the industry, he'd be the first guy I'd call. Ask David a question about a candy brand and he'll tell you when it was invented, the company that manufactured it, when the brand changed hands, and the people behind it all.
I am also drawn to this film because of David's character. He is wacky (he writes all of his notes on paper plates) and would probably drive you nuts if he were your dad, but he's got a heart of gold and an entrepreneurial spirit that trumps The Donald's.
I'm no film critic, so I won't go into details about the film (see the Candy Professor's review), but I will share a few good takeaways I got from my call with the Candyman:
- From the beginning, David sold jelly beans as individual flavors. "If I only sold an assorted box, I'd only have one spot in the store. By forcing retailers to buy single flavors, I got much more shelf space."
- David got the idea for intensely and realistically flavored jelly beans while watching "Happy Days." He got the idea for the brand name, "Jelly Belly" while watching "Sanford and Son."
- David's all-time favorite candy is not jelly beans. It's actually Junior Mints (and Queen Anne's Caramellos, but they are extinct).
- David wishes the manufacturer of Junior Mints (Tootsie Roll Industries), would come out with a Junior Mint peppermint patty.
- David is working on a new line of jelly beans that he says will "revolutionize the jelly bean business." If all goes to plan, the new beans will roll out before Easter 2011.
- The outlandish rhinestone cowboy outfit that David wore on "The Mike Douglas Show" set him back $4,760.
Candyman: The David Klein Story is now playing on The Documentary Channel, which is primarily available through satellite television services DISH Network (Channel 197) and DIRECTV (Channel 267).

ALEXANDRIA BAY Recent years of success at River Hospital now may be shown through an initiative the board of directors has taken on: a hospitalist program.
Albeit small, the program has one hospitalist who was hired recently to help the Fuller Street hospital improve patient flow.
Weve never had one before, and when Dr. Troy Johnson got here in June we looked at future needs with him, CEO Ben Moore III said. Dr. Johnsons in the emergency room, and itd be helpful to have someone like a hospitalist to improve our inpatient services. With a hospitalist, we could do more service to patients here versus a transfer.
Hospitalists serve admitted patients in the hospital who dont have a primary-care physician or they work in partnership with a patients primary-care physician.
Dr. Alfredo Torres, the hospitalist, began work in December. He will care primarily for patients admitted to the hospital and patients seen in the observation unit and River Hospital Convenient Care.
Dr. Torres came to River Hospital from Kaleida Health, Buffalo. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Rochester General Hospital, Rochester, and a surgical internship at Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital, Cooperstown, after graduating from medical school at University of Rochester. According to a River Hospital news release, Dr. Torres holds memberships in the American College of Physicians, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Society of Hospital Medicine and the Society of Critical Care Medicine.
Mr. Moore said that without the extra help, the hospital wouldnt be able to handle the scope of services and patients would have to be transferred to another hospital.
He said the hospital had struggled financially over the past several years and in 2010 closed its skilled-nursing department because the hospital would have lost more money keeping that service open.
Throughout the past 2� years, River Hospital has worked toward increasing outpatient volume and expanding services to increase revenues. While still facing some struggles of third-party reimbursements and other financial worries, the hospital has been in much better shape lately, Mr. Moore said.
There were 7,482 patient visits in the emergency room in 2011 and 8,000 in 2012. The hospitals inpatient volume was 1,628 for 2011, and 1,885 for 2012.
Were very optimistic, Mr. Moore said. We have another family medicine doctor joining us in February to go along with the partial hospitalist program. We wanted to increase our ability to admit inpatients, and were doing that now. We wanted to get into mental health. All those elements are things the board wanted us to accomplish.
Were trying to be as robust as we can, Mr. Moore said. Were far better off than we were two years ago.

Moliere (Moliere ou Le comedien malgre lui)
This bawdy French comedy is a re-imagination of the life and times of Molière, one of the great writers of his generation. We join the story when Molière is an impetuous 22 year-old, his theatre troupe is a failure, he is bankrupt and in prison because he can't pay his debts. It is mid-17th century Paris and Molière is a long way from realizing his legacy as the father and true master of comic satire. His release from prison, we discover, is funded by wealthy Monsieur Jourdain who grants Molière his freedom only in return for tutoring. Jourdain is a buffoon, and he enlists Molière to help him woo the affection of a French Countess with a series of love letters. At the same time, the young Molière is entwined in a secret love affair with Jourdain's wife, and if that's not complicated enough, he is also trying to stop Jourdain's daughter from eloping with her secret boyfriend.

NOTEBOOK: Jaffe says Tav (or Duch), Draft Party buzz, Lavi to NJ (?), send in your Qs today
Islanders Point Blank on Twitter
We haven't done the Reader Q & A in a while. If you have questions you'd like to run by me, please place them in Comments over the next two days. So that I can follow along, please just file one question in each Comment and limit it to just three per reader so I can do my best to get to everyone.
I'll start replying to your questions on the blog over the weekend, unless Islanders news breaks. Thanks for your participation.
A year ago at this time, Billy Jaffe was the only journalist in the Country to hint of a possible move back in the draft by Garth Snow. In a clip with Chris King and Steve Mears for ITV last June, The Jaff said he wouldn't be surprised if the Islanders cashed in the 5 for more picks later in the draft. So I had to call him to find out what the Islanders are doing on June 26.
"I think the Islanders are going to draft one of the forwards first overall – John Tavares or Matt Duchene," said The Jaff. The MSG Plus hockey analyst agreed with my prediction that Garth Snow will try to move up from pick 26 to get an additional player high on Ryan Jankowski's draft board.
"This is how I see it playing out," he said. "They get Tavares or Duchene at 1 and then one of the top defensemen on their board is still around. I'll use your number, let's say around pick 15. I feel the Islanders will make a strong push for a big-talent defenseman in the middle of the round after getting the forward they want at 1."
Jaffe also feels strongly about something I've blogged about: the Islanders need to keep their 2010 first round pick off the table.
"Look up these teams: Pittsburgh, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles," he said. "I could be off by one, but I don't believe any of them moved a first-rounder when they were rebuilding. If you want to do it the way Pitt and Wash and Chicago did, the way St. Louis and L.A. are and the way the Islanders say they are, you have to hold on to your potential high first round picks. Josh Bailey, Kyle Okposo and the first pick this year are a start, but it doesn't finish the job."
One last thing. Billy asked me what I thought the fan reaction would be in three years if Tavares becomes a very good but not spectacular scorer and Duchene hits his potential as a Mike Richards-like all-around player. If you're in the Tavares camp, be afraid. Be very afraid.
Peter Laviolette may be a serious candidate for the Devils head coaching position, or maybe just doesn't want to risk killing his chances to work for Lou Lamoriello. Of course, I have no source on this. Just one of my educated hunches I never hesitate to share in this accountability-free blogosphere.
A few New York-New Jersey hockey writers called me yesterday looking for a number to contact Peter. I called the ex-Islanders coach to see what was up and get his blessing to pass his number on. Pete's one of those guys who usually calls you back within minutes. Since I haven't heard back from him 18 hours later, this is the story I'm going with.
As for Brent Sutter, best wishes to him on his return home and to his junior club. In his first season with the Devils, he drove to the Island at the last second with Chico Resch to watch the Core of Four ceremony and catch up with his old Islanders teammates. It was very clear back then, just March of his first season, that something wasn't right. Seems to me he was so charged up about working within the culture of Lamoriello – the two believe in the same hockey principles – that the distance from home was forgotten. I'm glad they worked it out.
I'm a little surprised my old colleagues at the Islanders are making a huge deal of announcing that more than 10,000 tickets have already been distributed for the Draft Party. I get that this is a big, possibly historical night for the franchise, but it will be a monumental accomplishment by fans and team if a legitimate crowd of more than 10,000 shows up. Draft parties are nice events with some players around, a locker room tour and oh, BTW we just happen to have some season seats for sale. But in the end, it still comes down to watching VERSUS on the Coliseum scoreboard on a Friday night after school's out for the summer.
At this rate, it would seem likely by draft week that the Islanders will announce that more than 15,000 fans have picked up tickets to the event. By playing up the distribution of more than 10,000 tickets (and counting), the Islanders are risking the actual attendance being perceived as a letdown if "only" 8,000 show up. The Islanders have never had a hyped-up star like John Tavares staring at them in the face, but they've never had more than 3,000 at any draft parties of the last decade. They have had plenty of games without crowds of 10,000. If at least 8,000 people drive to Uniondale to watch the draft on the scoreboard, that should be cause for celebration – not disappointment.
I'd love to be wrong on this one. Let's see more than a real count of 10,000 fans show up at the Coliseum on June 26. As of today, I still don't know if I'll be in Montreal for the draft or Hempstead Turnpike for the Draft Party. I'll say this: if I knew for sure the Islanders were taking Tavares, I'd confirm my plans for Montreal. If I knew for sure they were passing on Tavares, I'd blow off Montreal and wouldn't miss the draft party for the world.
(not a mock draft)
1. John Tavares
2. Victor Hedman
3. Matt Duchene
4. Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson
5. Jordan Schroeder
6. Ryan Ellis
Yup, we're saying size is overrated.
Almost two months after the Islanders lottery victory, I've yet to adequately articulate why I feel the choice for the Islanders has to be John Tavares. It's not that I have a thing for him as a player, it's that, well…Larry Brooks in his Sunday column on the Rangers needing a star scorer explained it perfectly…
If we've learned anything from this year's playoffs, it's that it is impossible to thrive in the NHL without elite offensive talent.
Larry lists some of the great offensive stars in the league, Malkin and Crosby, Ovechkin and Semin, Eric Stahl and then writes…
The Rangers have no one remotely comparable. Fact is, the Blueshirts do not have a forward who would be selected in the top, what, 100 in a league-wide dispersal draft.
And then he really chrystallizes why I was in favor of a complete tear-down and rebuild for the Islanders…
It has become nearly impossible to get a top-end, difference-making talent any way other than bottoming out and hitting the draft lottery jackpot, for it is rare indeed that an elite player gets to free agency in his prime.
The Islanders have to decide if John Tavares has the upside as a scorer vs. the two-way defense of Victor Hedman and all-around play of Matt Duchene. If they know Tavares is going to be at least a 40-goal scorer someday, I don't know how they can pass him up.
Okay, so it's not a bash but it's being pitched as another important step. The Lighthouse Development Group will present an update on the project to the Nassau County Planning Commission on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The meeting is open to the public and will be held in the Nassau Legislative Building in Mineola.
Charles Wang and Tom "The Broker" Suozzi will be there. From the LDG's advisory: "The Nassau County Planning Commission is an important part of the approvals process as it will need to approve a subdivision plan before construction can begin."
On a side note, more than a dozen readers emailed me the story about the Brooklyn arena scaling down from the original Frank Gehry design and without room for a hockey team. I was supposed to accept this news as Brooklyn no longer being an option for the Islanders. Sorry, but I'm not buying. In these developments, as we continue to learn, everything is subject to change on a daily basis.
In the final installment in the PB series we like to call Conversations with Swedes, here's my recent phone conversation with potential first round draft pick Tim Erixon. The 6-2, 195-pound defenseman is the son of former Rangers forward Jan Erixon and could be available if the Islanders use their selections at 26, 31 and 37.
I know you were born in New York when your dad was with the Rangers, but how long did you live here?
Just when I was a little kid. We moved back to Sweden when I was 2 and a half years old.
Did you meet with the Islanders at the Draft Combine?
Yes. I thought we had a really good meeting.
How many teams did you interview with at the combine?
29 out of 30. Every team except for San Jose. (Note to readers: the Sharks, who have drafted well, are known for having limited meetings at the combine).
Do you think the Islanders are considering drafting you?
Maybe, I guess. Their interview stood out. They knew a lot about me and asked a lot of questions about my play that would seem to show they have some interest. Still, I'm told you never know about this process. Maybe San Jose picks me.
Any other teams show what you would consider extra interest in you?
A few. New Jersey had me stay on Sunday after the combine for an extra session. (Note to readers: The Devils, who have also drafted well, are known for requesting additional time with certain prospects after the combine is over).
Do you still have a connection to the Rangers?
Not really at all. My dad played for them and I'm proud of that, but I don't have any memories of it. Right now, I like all the teams in the NHL.
So if the Islanders draft you, this won't be a problem?
(laughs) Not at all. I'd love to come back to New York.
As you probably heard, the Rangers announced via a letter from Glen Sather that season ticket prices have been raised. I'll have more on Islanders ticket prices at another date, but one issue stood out when I was going over the Rangers' increases.
The Rangers have seats in the top third of the Garden that are now at $62 per game as a season ticket. I checked with an old friend from the sales department and asked him to give me two of his best deals. When you consider the sightlines of the Coliseum, these are pretty good. (Of course, the team has to start winning a lot more).
My guy in Sales tells me the Islanders are offering a season seat in the endzone 300s at $24 a game. According to him, that's down from $30 last year and it's the lowest that seat has been since 2001-02.
When I asked what he has closer to center ice in the 300s, the pricepoint is $34 a game, $5 less than last year and also as low as it's been since '01-02.
If you commit to two seasons, you get a price freeze and your first two rounds of any playoff games over those two years – settle down, Beavis – are free. There are also payment plans and you get all the perks, like the autograph event with the players. The number is 1.800.882.ISLES. Tell them Point Blank sent you, so they understand a few people read this blog.
I welcome a discussion on the Islanders' prices in the Comments space.
No, the Islanders are not trading for Dany Heatley. They don't have anywhere near the pieces to get it done. Or if they think they do, they shouldn't. Second round picks and second-tier players won't get you Heatley. Next subject.
NBC's coverage of Game 6 last night came out of commercial at 10:25 pm with 5 minutes left in the game. There were no commercial breaks until they went off the air at 10:58 pm. Pierre McGuire interviewed three Penguins while Doc and Edzo and Mike and Panger threw it back and forth. Good for the viewer, but makes you wonder about the lack of advertising…
On the subject of broadcasters, I asked recently-bounced Panthers analyst Denis Potvin about what's next for him when I wrote the Tavares-Hedman story. Denis is actively pursuing commentator positions. I know there could be some openings with other teams and at the national level this summer (not with the three NY-NJ clubs). Here's hoping Denis lands a good gig.
Word out of Islanders Country is that the team will once again have its radio broadcasts with the Long Island Radio Group and continue to try and fill in the holes in the metropolitan area where WMJC (94.3 FM) does not reach. And, of course, games will continue to be heard on XM Radio.
Remember the days when New York sports editors didn't even have to think about sending at least one writer to the Stanley Cup Final? It really wasn't that long ago. Now we have Crosby and Malkin against the incredible Red Wings and most major U. S. newspapers are not covering it. Sad. Glad to see the Washington Post is giving the Final he play it deserves.
New York Sports PR 101: if you have to announce something – say, a head coach quitting – but don't want a lot of press, here's how you do it. Have a conference call on the day the Yankees play in Boston, the Mets host Philadelphia and the Penguins and Red Wings meet in Game 6.
One of the many things I've learned doing this blog is that if you really need to make your point in a hockey argument, you can always find something to cite. Who needs Hedman? Oh yeah, look at what Lidstrom has meant to Detroit. The need for a scorer like Tavares is overrated? Oh yeah, look at what it's meant to Pittsburgh and Washington. Hedman? Bill Torrey built around defense! Duchene? The dynasty's nothin' without Trots! You get the point…
For the record, if we're talking about Duchene or Hedman, let me be clear: yes, I would definitely hypothetically trade the first overall pick for Evgeni Malkin.

The Orioles have interest in LHP Paul Maholm, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. The other clubs in on Maholm are reportedly the Mariners, Red Sox, and Cubs. Maholm's former club, the Pirates, have also kept in touch with him but are unlikely to resign him, according to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Tribune.
Maholm, 29, was a 1st round pick (2003) of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Through seven seasons with the Pirates, he has compiled a 53-73 record with a 4.36 ERA, 96 ERA+, 1.424 WHIP, 5.5 K/9, and a 3.0 BB/9. In 2011 posted a 6-14 record in 162.1 innings with a 3.66 ERA, 105 ERA+. 1.294 WHIP, 5.4 K/9, and a 2.8 BB/9.
Maholm would provide the Orioles with another reliable arm in the rotation. He could presumably be a better option than Joe Saunders, and would come at a lesser price than Edwin Jackson.
I would gladly take him. I think he is a very underrated pitcher, and I am actually quite shocked by the lack of interest/talk in him up until now. He has been in even a worse scenario than Baltimore his entire career!

Eagle Rock Energy Partners LP entered into a new fee-based gas gathering, processing, and purchase agreement with Apache Corp. to support the Houston independent's active drilling program in the Texas Panhandle portion of the Anadarko basin. Apache has dedicated all existing and future wells drilled within a more than 106,000-gross acre area in Hemphill, Lipscomb, Ochiltree, Roberts, Hansford, and Sherman counties, Tex., to Eagle Rock under market-based terms. The dedicated acreage covers the Granite Wash, Hogshooter, Tonkawa, Marmaton, and Cleveland plays in the Anadarko basin.
Eagle Rock will gather Apache production and process it at one or more of its cryogenic processing plants in the Texas Panhandle. Eagle Rock's Texas Panhandle assets include roughly 6,500 miles of gathering pipeline and more than 480 MMcfd of high-efficiency processing capacity, with an additional 60 MMcfd expected online in this year's second quarter following the completion of its previously announced Wheeler plant.
The agreement supersedes and expands on various existing agreements between Eagle Rock and Apache, providing fee-based compensation to Eagle Rock and applying to all existing and future wells completed by Apache on any of the acreage in the dedicated area.
Eagle Rock last year bought BP America Production Co.'s processing plants and associated gathering serving the Texas Panhandle (OGJ Online, Aug. 13, 2012). The two companies entered into a 20-year agreement under which Eagle Rock will gather and process BP's production from existing connected wells.

Had some friends over for a birthday game night. Convinced two of them to play Brikwars with my son and I. We used the Mines of Moria set with additional minifigs from Orc Forge and Gandalf Arrives sets plus I whipped up a custom Aragorn.
We did teams; 2vs2 with orcs, goblins, and cave troll on one team and the fellowship on the other. Each of us had 4 minifigs including our heroes. Two guys had never played before. It was a blast and a great way to spend my birthday!
This thread is unworthy because I have no photos of the epic awesomeness... maybe next time.

U.S. Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., came to Northern New York on Friday to show her support for the federal weatherization program that has taken a hit in recent spending decisions.
The Community Action Planning Council of Jefferson County may be able to help only about 50 people weatherize their homes this year because of a nearly 40 percent decrease in weatherization funds.
CAPC is set to receive $366,000 for the federal Weatherization Assistance Program in 2013, a decrease of $234,325 from the $600,325 the agency received last year, according to CAPC Executive Director Melinda M. Gault.
Hopefully, we wont have to have any layoffs, Ms. Gault said. Right now, we have two crews of three people per crew.
Those crews have been responsible for weatherizing about 100 homes per year through the program and through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authoritys EmPower program.
Ms. Gault said even though the agency received some weatherization funds through the federal stimulus package a few years ago, that money is gone and the waiting list has climbed back up to 350 households.
While tackling the list of weatherization needs in Jefferson County, such as new doors, insulation, furnaces and other improvements, will be more of a struggle now, Ms. Gault said, she is happy to have the senator in the agencys corner fighting for more weatherization money in the federal fiscal year 2014 budget.
Mrs. Gillibrand spoke Friday at CAPC, 518 Davidson St., about the value of the program and the struggles it faces in Washington.
Because this program has consistently been underfunded, there are 1,200 people on waiting lists in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties, she said. We can all tell winters here. Its been quite cold.
Bad weather mixed with drafty homes or furnaces that dont run properly, if at all, means more families are suffering, the senator said, especially when theres a reduction in funding.
Families dont have extra funds to replace a boiler or windows, Mrs. Gillibrand said.
That was the case with Christine L. Davenport, LaFargeville, who spoke Friday about how shes happy she now can go home to a warm house, thanks to weatherization updates completed by a CAPC crew.
Have you ever tried turning the page of a book with gloves? she said. Were proud. We dont like to ask for help.
But she did in 2010, and after two years of being on the agencys waiting list, she finally got the help she needed. Her old farmhouse had its windows and insulation replaced and door work done. Since the weatherization, she has cut her energy bill in half, from $700 to about $350 per month.
Now we are not bundled up in our beds under blankets seeing our breath, Miss Davenport said.
Andrew Stone, executive director of the state Weatherization Directors Association, said weatherization has come a long way and isnt just wrapping plastic over windows anymore.
Housing science is far more complex than people think it is, he said.
Ms. Gault said weatherization funds are vital to low-income Jefferson County residents because they often have to choose between food, medicine and other household needs or heating purchases.

Monet's Giverny and Other Edens
Art critic Richard Nilsen has spent 40 years photographing gardens around the world. His exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden featured images from Impressionist painter Claude Monet's famous garden in Giverny, 40 miles outside Paris, along with images taken at a dozen other gardens, private and public, from around the U.S. and Europe.
Critique the Critic
During the exhibit, guests were invited to critique some of Nilsne's work on the Garden's "Critique the Critic" blog. The "art" of being an art critic has been around since the 18th century and guests were encouraged to use such principals as description, analysis, interpretation when commenting on the blog.
February 25, 2011 - May 27, 2011
A Desert Illuminated
A Desert Illuminated photography exhibit featured 30 photographs of cactus flowers of the Sonoran Desert. The stunning macro photographs are wrapped in the visual and contextual embrace of a Renaissance-era illuminated manuscript that connects the human passion for science and art. By placing a sheet of black construction paper behind the cactus, he is able to isolate the subject, intensifying the composition of the richly hued and delicate flower.
Schaefer, president emeritus of University of Arizona, is a conservationist, avid bird watcher and founder of the Nature Conservancy in Arizona. He is a talented photography who, with Ansel Adams, established the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson.
October 1, 2010 to January 2, 2011

The Desert Botanical Garden featured 18 sculptures in bronze that reflect the modernist influences from which Houser drew inspiration for his work, as well as a collection of his two-dimensional drawings for children's books. The Heard Museum exhibition featured paintings, sketches and small-scale sculptures from their collection. Born on June 30, 1914, Allan Capron Haozous become known to the world as Allan Houser. Houser was a descendant from the Fort Sill survivors of the Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache tribe. He was immersed in the history and community of Indian people, is considered one of the best-known and celebrated American artists of the 20th century and is often referred to as the "father" of American Indian sculpture. Houser, who died in 1994, became famous for his bold statements in stone and bronze. He was also an illustrator and painter and never failed to create innovative new works of art.

Once Mayme's garden turned to seed, the collected elements of nature became a part of her unique art.
April 18 - May 30, 2008
Mayme Kratz – Artist in Residence
The Desert Botanical Garden presented an exhibition of the artwork of Mayme Kratz. Created from organic materials, her work celebrates nature and the cycles of change. Mayme's creations of organic material suspended in resin create dynamic sculptural and two-dimensional works of art.

Those of us who were around a long time ago on here (which isn't many of us ), do any of you know what became of Nofby and his animation The Sword and the Stone?
Not to sure actually but I do remember Nofby though. Here is his YT channel. I have PM'd him: http://www.youtube.com/Nofby
Also, which old members are still here? Has SockEye been on recently? I saw that Fish and Ursrut had been around and Conty was here around 3 months back but who else has stayed?
I was just thinking about Nofby the other day when I was making an armature, he gave me some advice that I still remember to do.
As for people still here. I guess I am a veteran of this site. I haven't seen Conty in a long time. I haven't seen Spazicat or Chochoc in a while either.
IAN!!!!!! Great to see you! Just finished reading about the Boinx offer! Did Boinx give you the iPad or did you already own one? Great work though! How's everything else?
Nofby gave me some ideas on rigging that helped out.
I don't know, but I guess I am a slight veteran. Almost 4 years.
they gave me a brand new iPad 2
HOLY SCHNOINKEES! That's so awesome, man! You definitely deserve it!
I guess I'm sorta old 4 years same as harryboy8080
i have been on this account for 3 years yass it was made in dec 2008
I actually joined december 2007, but I found the site about 3 days after it went up in august 2007 and I read the forums and creations, so I was a member, but not actually a registered member until december of that year.
Ditto Ian
I joined in september 2007, and i do miss the old days. Even jordan doesn't seem to be around much any more, and he's like the oldest member! The beginning of 2009 was the busiest time I think (probably thanks to AMOLAD) and i remember people like thetopbun, flufflesthepoodle, crackingtoast...... and newer people like Clay Fighter seem to have gone too. I miss them, and the old days, I wish they would come back.
GLB, yeah I definitely agree on the early 2009, that was a really good time for this site, lots of good animators, lots of discussion. I think there was more talk about animation, how to and people giving each other tips, and learning all at the same time, there just isn't much of that anymore.
Well hopefully, if a new film is announced, the flock will return!
hey,im surprised people remember me ha ha
but yeah i completely agree with you i joined late december 08 and the forum was so busy with people excited about the new film and people who were really passionate about animating and art.It does seem a lot quieter these days.I still come back from time to time and have been keeping up with the beaver creek episodes.I remember most of the people mentioned and also lozi and cracking cheese with his furball bear animation.
I couldn't agree more with you guys, I totally miss how this site used to be. I do hope they announce a new film, and that all of our old friends comeback. It's a shame they all left
I guess people got older, grew up and got busy. I am a lot busier, but i still try to keep up on here. I was twelve when I found this site, now i am seventeen. So it has been a few years.
I'd love to see the lively conversations and activity return. I've been a member since August 15, 2007. I read more than I post. I'd like to participate more. I don't know as many people now - part of the problem. The other is time, as iamtimothy and others have pointed out.
The "oldie" I miss most is SockEye Salmon - she rarely posts anymore. I get to talk with Ursrut from time to time. I also miss Cinders - and Mark the Shark. Jordan had so much info, even if he was a bit ornery now and again. (Nobody's perfect)
Hi GLB
I agree with fish and ian time is definitely a factor,im at uni now so dont have the amount of free time i used too
Yeah, that's true, our lives seem to get busier and busier, and time seems to go quicker and quicker! Still, it would be nice to see them from time to time.
YES! I'm still around. But I have to agree I have so much going on at the moment, If i'm not at college or doing work for it, then I'm most likely trying to figure out my future plans. It is really nice to come back onto the forum when I do get a chance though and catch up with everyone! And I really miss Sockeye too! She had such a way with words and always made me smile
It's good to see you Joshy and Fluffles it seems like forever since you posted on here!
Yeah, I agree with everybody. It was more exciting when loads of peopl came here.
Now who agrees with me. There's only like 10 well known people who post about every day or so.
This site will probably never be as active as STS just because WandG are EXTREMELY low in popularity in the U.S. But STS aired on U.S. T.V.s.
No, that's not entirely true, the people on STS are mainly a lot younger than us, for the fact that STS was aimed at that demographic and marketed on a children's channel. Naturally, younger people are more likely to get involved in websites relating to their favourite shows. Wallace and Gromit, is aimed at a universal audience (prime time slots etc) and was initially aired when many if STS's target audiences weren't even born. Some of us, myself included, have grown up with Wallace and Gromit, and that's one of the reasons we are frequent posters on here.
Also, the Wallace and Gromit forums are mainly about animation etc, whereas the STS form are mainly based on the celeb culture we have created in the past decade or so. Personally that type of discussion board doesn't appeal to me, and that is why I'm a frequent poster here.
And yes, STS is more popular in the U.S. but I don't think that's the reason why this site isn't as busy. I think this isn't as busy because the discussion topics are more focused, and not everyone can relate to them as easily as topics about x factor, big brother, Bieber etc.....
But that's just my opinion.
yh am older but am still on shaun the sheep
Ditto to all that GLB said
Well yeah, your, right, I don't really go on sts. but I post at least 3 times a day.
i joined on christmas day 2009 on my old account. so i've been a member just over 2 years. it's gone so quickly though
Hmm... Thought I would have been considered as an 'Oldie' by now...
You are, you're an oldie, just not geriatric like us ;D Missed you!!
hahaha, guess I'm one of the 'spring chicken' oldies!
I missed everyone here too, and felt guilty about not being on in awhile, hence my return.
The forums are now closed. For all the latest Wallace & Gromit activity and discussion visit the news section of the website

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Henrik Zetterberg scored the winner 1:04 into overtime as the Detroit Red Wings survived a late collapse to take a 4-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 of this Western Conference quarterfinal series.
Detroit had blown a two-goal lead late in regulation, but forced a deciding Game 7 when a left circle faceoff win saw the puck eventually get to Zetterberg, who blasted a big shot from the top of the left circle that went through a Justin Abdelkader screen and sailed past Jonas Hiller.
The series will be decided in Anaheim, as the Ducks host Game 7 on Sunday night.

Hopkins was reportedly taken to Castleview Hospital and then life flighted to University of Utah Hospital where she later died from injuries received during the accident.

The Los Angeles Kings became in existence when the NHL expanded the league by six teams in 1967. The Kings have been a consistent playoff performer, earning a postseason trip 27 times over the years. The highlight of the organization came during the 2011-2012 season when the Kings won the conference championship and a Stanley Cup championship. Los Angeles returned to the Western Conference Championship the following year, but they were unsuccessful in repeating. The Kings did win a conference championship during the 1992-1993 season and added a division title to their resume during the 1990-1991 season. The Kings have had legendary players like hockey icon Wayne Gretzky skate for the organization. Also wearing a Kings sweater over the years are organizational greats like center Marcel Dionne and right wing Dave Taylor. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Los Angeles Kings hockey tickets.
2013 saw the Los Angeles Kings return to Hockey's highest step. The Kings seem to find a way to win in any situation they are put it. Whether it is coming back from a 3-0 series deficit to the San Jose Sharks, or beating the defending Stanly Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks in 7 games in the Western Conference finals, the Kings simply have the will to win. Few teams have seen the success that the Kings have had over the last 3 years, with 2 Stanley Cup titles and 3 trips to the Western Conference finals, the Kings just continue to win.
TThe talk throughout the 2014 season will be about if the Kings can repeat as champions. No team has won back to back Stanley Cups since the Detroit Red Wings pulled it off in 1998. The LA Kings certainly have the pieces in place to be able to do so. Lost in the offseason was the charismatic Willie Mitchell but the core of the 2013 Stanley Cup Championship team is back for 2014. Marian Gaborik signed a long term deal in the offseason to stay in Los Angeles, and Drew Doughty, Justin Williams, and Anze Kopitar are all back. The Los Angeles Kings look to ride this talent and the goaltending greatness of Phenom Jonathan Quick to be the first repeat Stanley Cup champions of the salary cap era.
Check out our Los Angeles Kings Season Preview History page for previews of previous Kings seasons.
The Los Angeles Kings play all their home games at the Staples Center, located in Los Angeles, California. When filled to capacity, the legendary facility holds over 18,000 screaming fans. The Staples Center hosts over 250 events a year and it is the home of the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers of the NBA and Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA. The Los Angeles Kings home bench is on the Staples Center rink side in front of sections 101-102. Staples Center parking information is covered in our Kings event guide.
Edmonton Oilers, San Jose Sharks
The first year these two clubs met in the playoffs was 1982, where the Oilers were heavily favored behind the NHL points champion Wayne Gretzky. The Kings went on to win Game 5 and the series in front of Edmonton's home crowd, and then breaking Oiler fans hearts even more, Gretzky was traded to the Kings six years later. The rivalry becomes an intradivisional on in 2013 when the Oilers make the move over to the same division as the Kings.
It's SoCal vs. NorCal when these two 60s expansion clubs meet, bringing along the tenacity you'd expect in teams from the same state. At the time of expansion, they were the only two teams west of the Mississippi River and were basically created to play each other to reduce travel time and costs. Most recently, the Kings beat the Sharks in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs in seven games.
The Kings, winners of the 2012 Stanley Cup, have had an impressive history of successful. In their long NHL history dating back to 1967 the LA Kings have managed to go 2-2 in their Western Conference Final appearances as well as reach the playoffs 27 times.
Gates open at Staples Center 90 minutes before the puck drops.
Just to the north of Staples Center is LA live which houses many good restaurants. Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar is a great upscale dining option inside of LA Live. The Yard and Rock'N Fish are two more casual options in LA live that are always fun before games. If LA live is not your thing, try a hot dog from Tijuana Dogs street vendor located near Staples Center. Tijuana Dogs are some of the best hot dogs you will ever have and they are easy to take with you as you walk to the game. For Mexican food lover try Chichen Itza Restaurant. It is only a short distance to Staples Center and has some of the best Mexican food anywhere. Langer's is close by and has great sandwiches and deli style foods that are quick and easy. Other good places in the area are, Arashi Sushi, Buil Samgye Tang, Rivera, and Papa Cristo's.
Staples Center is surrounded on all sides with parking options. Usually the easiest place to find a spot is on the west side of the arena at lot 1, or lot C. Another good option is immediately to the south of Staples Center at the Convention Center West Hall Parking. The West Hall Parking garage is the largest in the area. Lots 7 & 8 are on the east side of the arena and have the most handicapped accessible parking options. Often, arriving early and parking at LA live to the north of Staples Center, eating, then walking to the game is a great way to beat traffic and find a good spot.
Children 3 years old and older are required to have a ticket to enter Staples Center. If your child is under 3 they are allowed to sit in a guardians lap for the duration of the game. We highly recommend bringing proof of your child's age with you to the gate to avoid any last minute issues.
