	Web application testing with Puffin: Puffin testing framework, Part 1
		Puffin will analyze this response for criteria you specify and will use the results of that analysis to deem a given test action a success or failure.

		Puffin can extract these values from a given test action's response (or from other previously existing tokens or from several other sources of information) and store them in the token dictionary.

	Mainebirding :: Puffin Information
		Puffins have long been hunted in some parts of their range and are a common food item in Iceland and the Faeroe Islands today.
		Puffins never came back to 4 of the other 5 islands on their own maybe because of the large populations of gulls, especially the large, aggressive and always hungry Great Black-backed Gulls.
		Today there are puffin breeding colonies on at least 4 of the original 6 islands off the coast of Maine: Eastern Egg Rock, Seal Island NWR (re-introduced colonies), Matinicus Rock and Machias Seal Island (natural colonies).

	Puffin folding kayaks from Piragis Northwoods Company and PakBoats
		The folks at Pakboat have brought together 3 basic elements to form the Puffin Kayak’s structure: The skin is the outside cover that keeps the water out.
		The longitudinal structure has only three main parts: A keel/stems assembly that runs end-to-end and is anchored into reinforced pockets in the skin and two gunwales that are inserted into channels along the edges of the skin.
		Like the other Puffins the Puffin II is a recreational boat and is not intended for very rough conditions although waves occasionally washing over the deck do not pose a problem.
