3 Tips for Optimizing Your Wufoo-CRM IntegrationBy Mike McNulty · January 23rd, 2015
Heads-up, form fans! Give a warm welcome to our honored guest blogger, Mr. Mike McNulty of Solve CRM. Sound familiar? Good, because we've blogged about these CRM all-stars before and when Mike asked if he could share some pro tips with all of you on how to maximize that sweet CRM potential of yours? Well, what do you think we said?
Get ready for some CRM wisdom, people. Take it away, Mike.
If you're running a business website, you've probably got an online contact form embedded into your site so visitors can submit inquiries, sign up for your newsletter, request a demo, or get in touch with you for just about anything else.
And it's likely that you use a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system to store the customer (and potential customer) data you collect. But how do you get the customer info you're collecting via your website forms and the data you're collecting from other landing pages and marketing efforts all into one place?
It's easy! Your website visitor data can be automatically transferred into your CRM using a Wufoo-CRM integration. (Check out all available integrations here!) And once you're all integ-ready, there are 3 things you can do to optimize your Wufoo-CRM powerhouse. Ready to learn? Of course you are.
1. Capture & Categorize
The #1 rule for optimizing your Wufoo-CRM integration? Be flexible. The more choices you include in your forms, the more comfortable your visitors will feel giving you their information. Plus, it'll be easier to personalize how you follow up with them. So make sure any form on your website is set up to include the right fields.
A good place to start is with a dropdown menu. For example, sort your contacts by asking site visitors, "Why are you contacting us today?" And when you ask for email and phone number, ask them to tell you which method of communication they prefer. You can even include a file upload field so existing customers (and potential clients) can submit photos or other documents. That way you'll contact them, ready to offer feedback, tips, or price estimates.
In short, your CRM should enable you to capture data using varying form fields—and tag contact records as they arrive, so that your data are given the right context. Websites that collect different information from different types of visitors should consider using separate Wufoo forms with unique fields and tags. With better data and more context, your staff can qualify leads more accurately and make faster decisions.
2. Automate Next Steps
Staff love when you make their lives easier, and you love it when there are no cracks for things to fall through. So when you capture a visitor's data from your website, make sure they get assigned to someone automatically, and that their record is shared with the right people. Any series of tasks that need to be performed should be created and assigned immediately. Perhaps future emails should be scheduled or "Welcome!" phone calls planned. And if there are help desk tickets or emails related to this person, those should all get linked to the contact record as well.
Many teams need contacts, tasks, and events synced to particular member's Google Apps accounts. You can also help your clients automatically maintain their profile with you by having your CRM simply update their record as they fill out your Wufoo forms. This helps centralize your client data and prevent duplicate records from weighing you down. With all the meticulous and repetitive work automated your team can focus time and energy on clients.
3. Take Action
Here's where the fun really starts because your team can now begin to leverage your setup, and use your CRM to demonstrate value to your new leads.
Scheduled emails are being received. Follow up phone calls are being made. Prospects are being added to marketing campaigns. Projects are being set up and shared while draft invoices are being prepared. Your existing customers and potential clients will think you have an army of staff dedicated to them.
Every step of the way, updates are being made and shared centrally in your CRM. So when a prospect calls you, you know exactly what they are talking about. Or if the client emails you, you can see their entire history in Gmail, so you'll know how to respond appropriately, without even jumping back into the CRM.
Your business should seem like a surprise party for your prospects. Your team should seem like a well choreographed group of friends, welcoming them with a shower of personalized service, delivered with effortless efficiency. Wufoo helps trigger such a party when it's integrated with a CRM that leverages other best of breed apps: email apps like Google Apps, accounting apps like Xero & Freshbooks, campaign apps like MailChimp & Constant Contact as well as Zendesk for helpdesk and RingCentral for incoming phone calls.
Remember, online forms and CRMs are helpful on their own, and once they're connected, they can turn your business into an automated powerhouse.

Say Hello to CSS: Introducing New Tips 'n Tricks SeriesBy Kane Stanley · January 7th, 2015
We all know that you can use the Theme Designer to make your form look absolutely wonderful, attractive, lovely, beautiful, brilliant…and we'll stop now before we get too carried away. (Too late.) It may be a little less well known, however, that it's possible to use your own CSS in a theme to fully customize the look and feel of your forms.
So we've already whipped up a nifty blog post that gives details on how to use custom CSS in a Wufoo form. This post is ace and can really help you add custom CSS to a form.
But for those of you wanting to get down into the real nitty gritty on creating your own CSS style sheet from scratch—this post shall reveal all. Even better, we're not stopping at just one post either: Say hello to our CSS Tips 'n Tricks kickoff Series! We'll be sharing cool CSS how-tos designed to make your form look even more attractive than say, a stunning beach sunset (really).
In our first installment, we'll walk you through the steps you need to create a CSS style sheet through Notepad, upload that to Dropbox or Google Drive, and apply it to your form.
Ready steady? Let's go.
1. Create that CSS on Notepad
Let's start by creating our actual CSS. Generally when Notepad is mentioned, you might hear people asking why the heck you don't use Word instead. Well, Notepad, we're on your side for this one. Open up Notepad and add your CSS. For our first CSS trick, we're going to keep it really simple. We'll put some nice curves on all our images in the form and give them a reddish border. That's going to make all your pictures look mega-cool:
We'll check out how that looks later, but for now let's Save this so we don't lose it. Click File and Save As. This bit is important so pay attention! You'll want to save the file with .css at the end of the name. That will make sure your file is saved as a CSS style sheet rather than just a Notepad file. It should look a bit like this:
Congratulations. You've just created your first CSS style sheet. In order to apply that to a theme in Wufoo, you have to host that sheet on the internet somewhere. This can be hosted on your own website or any hosting site that will host your files using https. We're big Dropbox fans, so let's go that route first.
1. Upload your CSS to Dropbox
Uploading a CSS file to Dropbox is simple. Head over to dropbox.com and log in to your account. Once you've done that, click the Upload tab as shown here:
Once you've uploaded the file, find it in your list and hover your mouse over it. A SHARE button should show up. Just give that a click and you should see this:
We're really close to having the finished link but there's just one more thing. If you were to share the link as is, you'd quickly discover that the CSS doesn't work. That's because the link ends in dl=0. The details behind that not working are a bit boring so we'll spare you. Just change the end of your link to dl=1. Once you've done that, you're all sorted. Add that link to the custom CSS section within your theme designer and your CSS will show up in the form.
3. Upload your CSS to Google Drive
Some people prefer to use Google Drive over Dropbox and that's completely cool. There are a few more steps needed with Google Drive, but it's still pretty easy to upload your CSS to Google Drive. First you'll want to log in to Google Drive and create a public folder. Once you've done that, click in your folder and upload your CSS file to the folder.
Just like with Dropbox, you still have to get the correct link to use with Wufoo. To do that, click the Information button in the top right corner of your page. Make sure that you click Details and that your sharing is set to Public on the web. Once you've done all of that, you should see the Hosting link. That's the link you need to add to your theme. Here's a visible step-by-step:
4. Add the link to your theme and enjoy
This is the easy bit. Just add that link to your theme via the Theme Designer and apply your theme to your form from the Form Manager. Let's have a look at our finished product.
Check out those sweet curved edges and cool reddish border, eh?
So we wanted to take you through how to create the CSS from the ground up this time and we hope it was insightful. Stay tuned for more CSS tricks to make your form look (and feel) fantastic.

Your Top 3 Support Questions AnsweredBy Emilie Sanchez · January 5th, 2015
Happy New Year, Wu-friends, Emilie from Support here! It's a new year which means you get a new start. But 2014 isn't too far behind us just yet. And so in the spirit of bringing what we've learned from the past into our form future—we're here to share the top 3 support questions that you, dear customers and form ninjas, have asked us about in the last year.
If you take these 3 tips—along with Michael's handy 3 common pitfalls to avoid blog—into the new year with you as you create those fab forms of yours? Well, then we guarantee you'll be set for genuine form success in 2015.
Let's get it going, shall we?
1. Help! How do I reset entry IDs?
Since you're a savvy form builder, you know to submit a few test entries to your Contact Me forms before it goes live. The form performs just how you want it to, so now you can delete those five test entries. After you do, the first entry in the Entry Manager is numbered 6, not 1—even though it's currently the first entry in the list.
No matter which entries are deleted from your account (and when) the entry ID associated with each entry in the form will remain the same. This ID number is hard-coded into our database, so there isn't any way to update it. Being aware of this will help you keep track of all the submissions your forms have historically received.
What's the work-around if you need to start numbering entries from scratch again? Duplicate the form and collect real entries through the duplicate. When you duplicate a form, none of the entries are carried over, so any new entries collected there will start at 1 again.
2. Argh! Having SSL issues. What can I do?
We've enabled SSL security by default for all forms free and paid. So this means that the data submitted will always be secure, whether you're sending out the direct form links or embedding them in your site with the code we provide you.
However, SSL encryption can cause a conflict with CSS-hosted themes, which many of you have written in to us about. If you're hosting your form theme with a custom CSS file, make sure that the CSS file is loading over SSL as well. There are several great sites that generate SSL URLS for free, like Dropbox or Google Drive.
We can tell the example theme below is SSL-encrypted, due to the https:// in the hosted file URL:
Is your CSS styling not showing in the live form? Here's how to resolve the issue:
- Host the CSS file somewhere else, where it is encrypted.
- If you prefer to avoid all SSL browser conflicts, you can remove SSL from both the hosted CSS file, and your form. Click here for instructions on how to disable SSL on your form.
3. Show me the way of templating, please!
Aaah, Templating. One of the most powerful and useful tools in the Wufoo bag o' tricks can sometimes be tricky to get the hang of. And for those of you out there not already familiar, this feature lets you pull form data into the confirmation message and email, and notification email. Translation: The people who submit an entry will receive a personalized confirmation email/message including their name, email address, or any other information they inputted to specific fields! Or simply—when new entries come in, your colleagues can see the Entry ID, date it was submitted, or even the total amount paid, all at a glance in the subject line of the notification email.
Templating has two components:
→The Template tag →The Parameter
The template tag is what tells the system to pull either field or entry data. The parameter tells the system specifically where to pull that data from. Let's see how this works using my Contact Me form as an example: I want the Confirmation Message to show the date the user selected.
First, navigate to the Confirmation Options section of the Form Settings tab. Below the confirmation message text box, click Templating Options.
The API Information page will open. Take the ID number of the field that you want to draw data from, and note that this doesn't always correspond with the order that fields appear in the form. In this case it does: The Date field is also API ID 1.
Head back to the Form Settings tab. The template tag for pulling field data is: {entry:Field#}
Combine this with the parameter: The API ID number. Replace # with 1, and place this tag where you want the date to appear in the message. So when you're all finished, this is what the Confirmation Message will look like from your end:
But after submitting an entry, the users get the personalized message:
Awesome, right? For those of you who'd like a more detailed Templating walk-through, check out Aubri's great blog.

Update: New Redesigned Share PageBy Johan Lieu · December 8th, 2014
When we began the process to redesign the Share page (the artist formerly known as the Code Manager) our main objective was to simplify the user experience and interface for all Wufoo users, both new and experienced alike. Part of that process was to examine all of the sharing methods and see if we could focus down the page to the options that the vast majority of users were using and remove the ones that weren't.
In short, we messed up.
After we announced the redesign, you guys let us know that the advanced options we removed in the effort to simplify the experience were integral to your workflows and with their removal your Wufoo experience suffered. The discussion was passionate and appreciated and we heard you guys loud and clear. Today, we just released an update to the Share page that returns the advanced features that you're used to.
Short Link
We've added back in the short, easy to read URL as another way to share a link to you form. Instead of the unique identifier for your form as part of the URL, this link contains the title of your form.
As always, if you change the title of your form, all previously shared short links to your form will no longer work and you'll have to share the new link with the new title.
Advanced Sharing Options
We've returned both the iframe embed option as well as the HTML/CSS download file for all users. Some of our more advanced and technical users require these features for their specific implementations of their Wufoo forms and now they are back.
What We Learned
Finally, I'd like to talk about what we learned with this latest change to the Share page and how it'll change our process going forward.
First, no matter what our data says regarding usage or engagement, we'll strive to make sure that whenever we update Wufoo we make sure that we account for our power users who are taking their Wufoo accounts to the edge and have really technical implementations. We won't be so heavy handed in simplifying Wufoo to the point that power users are left out in the cold.
Secondly, we'll do a better job of communicating these changes to you guys. Both more clearly and earlier in the process. We'll make sure that whenever we do push big changes to Wufoo, you'll know about it well ahead of time. We've always tried our best to do this but it's something we can and will continue to get better at. You guys deserve it.
Finally, this isn't something we learned so much as a genuine thanks to the entire Wufoo community who gave us pointed, critical, and totally helpful feedback here on the blog, as well as on that them there social networks like Twitter and Facebook.
We do read every comment, tweet, and post from you guys and welcome all comments and criticism of what we're doing here. We appreciate frank discussions about how to make Wufoo better and please know that we care a whole lot about making and keeping Wufoo awesome and the best form builder out there. Thanks again for all of your support and if you have any notes, comments, or questions, please let us know below.
Thanks for using Wufoo!
3 Common Error Messages & How to Fix 'EmBy Joss Unzicker · December 5th, 2014
Season's Greetings, dear Wufoo-ers! It's the perfect time of year to heat up a mug of hot cocoa, grab your softest blanket, and snuggle up at your desk for a cozy day of form-building. But don't get too comfy just yet. Today, we're going to dive deep into three common error messages that users occasionally run into when getting down to form business. While the following three errors may throw off your form-building groove at first, we've got in-under-a-second changes for each one that'll get you back to building in no time.
Let's jump right in, shall we?
1. Required Drop Down fields and Default Answer Options
Scenario: You've just completed building your form and so far things look great. The time has come to run a test through. When you click the Submit button you're looped back around with a big red !error! around your required drop down field. "But there's a legitimate answer there," you protest.
Chances are that your legitimate answer choice is the default answer option for your field.
Why am I getting this error?! Well, when you make a Drop Down field required, the user must select a choice other than the default answer. When a user selects the default option (the one that is selected when the page loads), Wufoo will consider that as not making a choice and will display the dreaded error.
Fix - You have a couple of options here to clear this up. You can:
Remove the Required validation from the field settings, since it will submit a choice anyway
Add a blank answer first
Add a choice with Choose One as the default answer. That way, the user has to select something other than blank or Choose One to complete the submission.
2. HTML errors and "NaN" in the form builder
Scenario: You're making the final edits to your form in the form builder and suddenly you realize that you can't use Wufoo's awesome drag and drop functionality to rearrange fields on your form. You also see this cryptic NaN message in place of the field number when looking at some of the field settings.
Why am I getting this error?! Both of these "symptoms" indicate that you have an HTML error in the content of one of your field labels. Even the tiniest of errors can make the form builder go a bit loopy. Typically our users run into this when an HTML tag isn't closed all the way.
Fix: To resolve this, you'll want to first locate the error in question. You can easily do this by taking the following steps:
Once you save you'll be able to use the drag and drop and those pesky NaN messages will be replaced with the field numbers again.
3. Exclamation Points in the Rule Builder
Scenario: You're getting fancy with a registration form and have decided to use field rules to dynamically SHOW fields depending on the number of registrants the user has. Here is your vision: If the user would like to register 4 people, 4 name fields will display. If you a user would like to register 1 person, 1 name field will display. When you go to save your fabulous rules you get a bunch of glaring yellow exclamation points!
Why am I getting this error?! Our rule builder can't SHOW or HIDE the same field in multiple different rules.
Fix: To patch this up, you'll want to add multiple conditions to a single rule, by using that grey plus sign next to the first condition.
Instead of a separate rule for each registration, you'll want to set it up so that a single rule reads:
"If how many campers would you like to register?" is 1
"If how many campers would you like to register?" is 2
"If how many campers would you like to register?" is 3
"If how many campers would you like to register?" is 4 SHOW 1.) Camper Name
Whenever you see those exclamation points in the rule builder, you'll want to ask yourself, "How can I consolidate multiple rules into a single rule with conditions so that there aren't any conflicts?"
Using multiple conditions will ensure that your form rules work as intended and will eliminate those big exclamation points when saving/editing in the rule builder.
There you have it! Hopefully these tricks make some of Wufoo's more daunting errors more approachable. Of course, if you run into any error messages that you're unfamiliar with and can't find info in our docs, feel free to reach out to our support team at any time.
New Redesigned Share Page Makes It Easier To Share Your FormsBy Johan Lieu · December 3rd, 2014
Today we released a new streamlined and redesigned Share page (the artist formerly known as the Code Manager) in the Wufoo Form Manager. We cleaned up a lot of the clutter to make it easier than ever for you to share your form where you users and customers are. Let's walk through some of the changes and new features:
Share Is The New Code
The most obvious change we've made is to rename the "Code Manager" to "Share". We've also updated the button on the Form Manager from "Code" to "Share" to make it even clearer how to share your form. This change is a long time coming since Wufoo has offered plenty of ways to share forms that wasn't just code.
Cleaned Up Interface
Previously, the Code Manager was a mess of hidden tabs and it was difficult to figure out what you needed to share your form the way that you wanted to. In the redesign, we did away with a lot of unused features and clutter and removed the tab structure and instead broke out the various methods you can share your form into three parts: links, social sharing, and embedding your form.
The first section is fairly straightforward. This is the traditional permanent link to your form that will never change, perfect for sharing with colleagues or customers in an IM chat, email, or any other ways you share links.
The second section is other methods of sharing, primarily on Twitter, Facebook, or email. More about this section below.
And the final section is where you'll find the code snippets to embed your Wufoo form on your own site, or even on your WordPress site/blog.
Social Sharing
With this update, we've also added two new ways to share your form. You can now easily post and share your Wufoo form to your Twitter or Facebook account. No more copying and pasting links and bouncing between tabs!
To do so, simply click either the button of the social network of your choice and a new window will appear asking you to log in to your Twitter or Facebook account. If you're already logged in, you'll see the sharing prompt where you can modify your message before sharing. Click the share button and boom, you're done! A link to your Wufoo form has been automatically shared to your social network of choice increasing your form's reach and visibility.
We're really happy with how the new Share page looks like and think it makes it a lot easier for you to share your forms with your users and customers. We know it's a big change so we'd love to hear what you think about the new Share page below.
Updated 12/8/2014: Based off your overwhelming feedback, we've updated the new Share page to include the previously removed Short Link URL to the links section. We've also added a new section named Advanced Sharing Methods which includes complete HTML/CSS download of your form and the iframe embed for circumstances where Javascript is unavailable. These last two features are for advanced users and we suggest that the majority of users use the preferred methods of sharing or embedding their forms (permanent link or Javascript embeds). You can read more about these updates in this blog post.
Two Quick Tips to Optimize Your Time with WufooBy Johan Lieu · December 2nd, 2014
If you're anything like us here at Wufoo, as the end of the year approaches, it seems like you're getting busier and busier and there's less and less time to get things done. Luckily, you run your business on Wufoo and we've got you back. Here's two quick tips you should do now to save time each and every day.
Setup Email Notifications
This is the most important Wufoo tip you'll ever read. Turn on email notifications and you'll automatically get an email notification whenever someone submits an entry to your form. I can't stress this enough and how important it is to help you save time.
Now instead of worrying whether or not you're getting any submissions to your form, you can instead rest easy knowing that when a potential customer fills out your form, you'll instantly know about it and act on it. The email we send you also includes all of the form data so you can easily view the info and decide if you need to act on it right then and there or if it can wait. If you're using Wufoo to run your business, you know that the slightest delay could cost you a customer and sales. So, please, for me, turn on email notifications for your most important forms. You won't regret it.
Integrate Your Form with Other Apps & Websites
The second best way to save yourself some time and effort is to simply integrate your form with any one of our numerous integrations. Tons and tons of apps and web sites have integrations with Wufoo and help save our customers tons of time every day.
Have users or customers uploading files (say photos for a quote on painting a room)? You should definitely integrate with Dropbox and have your files automatically sent to Dropbox where they will sync to all of your devices.
Using a Wufoo form on your web site to receive leads from customers or clients? Make sure you read our blog post about the most popular CRM's that Wufoo integrates with. Coupled with email notifications, you'll automatically know when a lead comes in and your CRM will track your entire lifecycle with that customer.
Have you setup a mailing list sign up form so that your users and customers can get more information about your services or receive updates about deals or sales you're having? It's time to integrate that form with any of our email integrations like MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, ActiveCampaign, Sendloop, or INinbox. New email address comes in? It'll automatically show up at your email integration of choice, ready to be acted on.
The possibilities are endless. You can combine any number of our integrations with your forms to help you create a powerful and time saving workflow (like a sales lead form that sends your lead information to Salesforce, sends the lead's email address to MailChimp, and sends any uploaded files to Dropbox). And you'll also instantly receive an email notification (because you set that up already, right?) when the lead comes in which includes their phone number so you can call them right away.
By using email notifications and any number of Wufoo's great and easy to use integrations, you'll be saving time in, uh, no time. And you can get back to running your business and living your life. Got a tip on how you use Wufoo to save yourself time? Share it below, we'd love to hear about it!
Save Your Sanity with CRM IntegrationsBy Johan Lieu · December 2nd, 2014
We know that many Wufoo customers use their Wufoo forms to help them save time and run their business as smoothly as possible. You guys do everything from managing mailing lists, creating registration forms, accepting online orders, and capturing leads from potential clients and customers. Another way to help you save even more time (and yes, that oh-so-important sanity!) is to integrate your forms with a CRM. Ever thought about connecting your forms to a CRM? Good, because this blog post's for you.
So without further ado, here are three CRM integrations that we've integrated with—for good reason, they're awesome—that you're going to want to check out and see which one is right for you and your business. And don't forget, these are just a sampling. We have a ton of other integration partners to choose from too.
Agile CRM
A relative newcomer to Wufoo's stable of integrations, Agile CRM uses webhooks to connect your Wufoo form to Agile CRM. It's super easy to setup and they've created a really easy to follow and thorough guide to setup your integration. Agile lets you easily push form entries to their system to quickly setup a contact within Agile CRM. You can even pass in tags and other pieces of information you want to track on a per contact basis. And from Agile CRM, you can then integrate with other websites and applications to kick off automated marketing campaigns based off this information.
Another great CRM that's popular with other Wufoo users is CapsuleCRM. Capsule also uses webhooks to seamlessly integrate your Wufoo forms with their service. Using CapsuleCRM, you'll be able to create Wufoo contact forms and have the contacts automatically show up in CapsuleCRM for you to manage. From there, you'll be able to keep the conversation going with your leads and hopefully turn them into customers!
Solve CRM

Cave-In Movie Set for Saturday night at Cascade Cavern
OLIVE HILL, Ky. — After several days in the 90s and with heat indexes getting into the triple digits, the best day trip is one where you can — with apologies to New Edition — "cool it now."
Here's just a couple good ways to do just that with some well-timed road-trips. Read more great ways to get cool and ways to have a great time in Thursday's Weekend section of The Herald-Dispatch
What's better than heading into middle Earth for the coolness of a cave? How about heading into Carter County, Kentucky's largest cave, Cascade Caverns for a Cave-In Movie.
Come out at 6 and 8 p.m. Saturday night, July 20, when Carter Caves State Resort Park in Olive Hill, Ky., will present its summer Cave-In Movie series with the animated film, "Brave."
Admission is $5. Go online at www.parks.ky.gov and click onto Carter Caves for more info or check out the Carter Caves new Facebook page.
Also, you can call Carter Caves at 606-286-4411.
Over at Greenbo Lake, at 11 a.m. Saturday, the Resort Park will become the first state park in Kentucky to open a SCUBA diving refuge.
The 10-acre SCUBA refuge will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily April through October for a daily use fee of $12 of the area which averages about 25 feet deep.
Divers will have to be open-water certified or higher to use the area, or be accompanied by an instructor with the appropriate certification.
Although you can't swim otherwise in that lake, (unless you are SCUBA certified) there is a great swimming pool (with water slide) located across from the amphitheater.
Greenbo Lake State Resort Park is on KY 1, 18 miles north of Interstate 64 from the Grayson exit, or 8 miles south of U.S. 23, the Country Music Highway. Greenbo Lake State Resort Park features the Jesse Stuart Lodge, with 36 rooms, convention center and Anglers' Cove Restaurant. The park has a 225-acre lake for boating and fishing, tennis courts and 25 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. The campground is open April 1 through Oct. 31. There are also campsites for campers with horses. Greenbo's amphitheater features musical concerts and plays during the summer and fall.

Bids have been let for the renovation of the former Seniors' Center for use as Johnson City's Juvenile Court, and Judge Sharon M. Green says she's anticipating relief that the additional space will provide, not only for operations but also for emotions which sometimes can run high in cramped quarters.
"Our court today has a width of only 13 feet," Green said Tuesday. "There are high tension levels on occasion and the parties are sitting just feet apart. This is going to be a tremendous improvement. The new courtroom will be about 25- to 35- feet wide.
Bids for the 10,000-square-foot renovation for the city's new juvenile court at 607 E. Myrtle Ave. are due in to the Purchasing Department by Jan. 8. The court's current location is 102 W. Myrtle Ave.
The city's Juvenile Court is about 6,000 square feet in size, but that will nearly double after renovations. Meanwhile, seniors quadrupled their capacity when Senior Services moved into the new Memorial Park Community Center on Dec. 8.
In March, the total cost estimate for renovations was about $1.4 million, according to results of a feasibility study presented to the City Commission by Thomas Weems Architects. But commissioners later asked Weems to bring down cost, and bids are expected to reflect that.
Bid documents show the big-ticket items include replacement of the roof and new heating and cooling systems. The new courtroom will be carved out of the old gymnasium, increasing elbow room dramatically.
"The biggest part of the improvements are going to be roofing, and heating and air, so it's not like they're going to pour a million dollars into the courtroom," she said. "We'll still just have one main courtroom, but it will be much larger. Another part of the gymnasium space will be used for clerks and filing."
The new court also will include a conference room used for "child and family team meetings." The drive-thru portion of the old center will be demolished to make way for a large lobby, or waiting area, that will double the number of chairs from 30 to 60, Green said. Parking also will be much improved.
"The old conference room is very cramped," she said. "We have court five days a week. And in a year, about 1,700 children will come through and 2,775 cases will be disposed of. It is a very appropriate location for the court. It is in close proximity to local police zones, and it would allow for the expansion of the courtroom facilities, including attorney conference rooms, and administrative and other offices."
The total cost, as well as time lines and other information, should be available next month.
Just exactly what will happen to the existing Juvenile Court building and parking lot remains unknown, though there has been talk about converting it for an alternate municipal use.

"Kelly Clarkson pregnant" has been high up on Google Trends all morning, which perplexed us as she very recently revealed that she doesn't want kids. "Oh, my God, I have no desire," the singer told USA Today. "I would not be a good mother."
So what gives? According to speculation on The Insider, it's just "weight gain." You'd think the fine citizens of America, in which 63 percent of the country is overweight, would be able to distinguish a couple pounds of water weight from a growing baby belly (seriously, WTF is wrong with you, America?) . After all, it's the two things we're most obsessed with in the U.S. But what's most troubling to us is the assumption that Kelly's gained something other than commercial success. That's all we're looking for these days – bellys to criticize or celebrate – even when there's no reason to do so. [Photo: GettyImages]

continued "It makes me a bit winded sometimes and I have to take a couple medications," said Waldron.
Waldron is a senior at Plattsburgh High School and though he's not sure where he wants to study photojournalism he is going to be prepared. Waldron said for anyone out there who is diagnosed with the disease they should "expect a lot of treatments but in the end it's worth it because you'll feel better."
Many younger children choose a wish like going to Disney Land. Others wish to meet a celebrity or professional athlete and last year a young girl was sent to the Olympics in London. Elsinger said the Northeast chapter has also helped welcome wishers from other parts of the country who wanted to see snow for the first time.
Riley said Andrew's choice was unique and especially fun for him to shop for.
"I was journalist and a photographer in the Ohio years ago so it was great to do the shopping here to set Andrew up for his potential career," said Riley.
Riley said the Northeast chapter of Make-A-Wish grants at least 100 wishes during the year and covers from the outskirts of the Catskills to the Canadian Border.
"We grant 100 wishes but worldwide we can say a wish is granted every 40 minutes and at anytime there is someone living their wish either on a trip or meeting a celebrity they chose," said Riley.
World Wish Day is celebrated each year in April, marking the anniversary more than 30 years in the making: in 1980, a 7-year-old boy received his heartfelt wish to be a police officer for a day. That one wish inspired the founding of Make-A-Wish and launched the wish granting movement that circles the globe today.
Riley said he has been in contact with the mother of the very first wish child and to this day she and her family remember the occasion with the same excitement they experienced 30 years ago.

[[caption-width-right:312:Even a LargeHam can be [[BondOneLiner cured]].]]
Real {{Vaudeville}} shows would DropTheCow on bad or overly long acts with [[HooksAndCrooks "the hook", a shepherd's crook]] extended from offstage to pull away the performer. But in cartoons, you don't even need to be on a stage to get the hook. Any bad performance can get the hook, even if you're performing on top of a fence - it just reaches out from BehindTheBlack and drags you offscreen. Wearing a red-and-white vertically striped shirt and a straw boater makes you especially susceptible to this, as does dancing while holding a cane. Spending a while dodging the hook, continuing to perform all the while, before eventually getting snared is a common feature.
Though he didn't originate it, the hook is forever associated with Howard "Sandman" Sims, a tap dancer who would use the hook on bad acts at the Apollo Theatre.
[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': Garfield sometimes gets the hook when he's doing his fence act. Once, when he gave a ChristmasSpecial, a candy cane was used.
* One ''Farley'' strip, when Bruin Hilda was running for mayor of San Francisco, had the beaver sing a campaign song (to the tune of "[[Music/TheBeatles Saw Her Standing There]]". Hilda is thinking "Get the hook".
* The page image comes from a political cartoon, where Uncle Sam is obliviously showing off America's status as a world power while [[ChinaTakesOverTheWorld China]] calmly watches in the shadows, with a "Your [[FifteenMinutesOfFame fifteen minutes]] are almost up, Sammy..."
* In one of Father Justin [=McCarthy=]'s ''Brother Juniper'' comics the title character uses a candle lighter to hook a small dog that wandered into the church.
[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', this happens to WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck in the Ink-n-Paint Club. After several minutes of trying to sabotage one another's piano playing, Donald [[RefugeInAudacity fires a cannon at Daffy's piano]], flooring his own and destroying Daffy's. Both of them, along with their pianos, are dragged off-stage with hooks.
* In extras of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'', there's a [[Series/AmericanIdol American Idol-esque]] singing contest, and [[PeterPan Captain Hook]], [[JustForPun while singing "Hooked on a Feeling"]], is [[VisualPun removed from the stage in this manner]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'''s [[DisneyAcidSequence "If I Didn't Have You"]] song, there's a part where a line of eggs with dragon feet sticking out dance across the screen. They are promptly yanked off-screen.
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* Used in one of Hal Roach's ''[[Film/TheLittleRascals Our Gang]]'' comedies, in which one of the mothers tried to drag her boy offstage with the hook... but kept missing him, first popping a couple of stage lights, then badly electrocuting herself when the metal crook got caught in the live socket.
* A vaudeville performer (complete with fez and revolving bowtie) gets pulled off of an illustration by a vaudeville hook in the ''Literature/MurderousMaths'' book ''Desperate Measures'' for the joke "Why isn't my nose twelve inches long? Because if it was it would be a foot.".
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/TheGongShow'': One of several methods for ejecting horrendously bad acts from the stage. These were, of course, non-scoring, comedy relief acts that performed in between scoring acts.
* Referred to on ''Series/TheDailyShow'' in 2004 when, after winning the Oklahoma primary, Wesley Clark said, [[{{Pun}} "Oklahoma is OK by me!"]]
-->'''Jon Stewart:''' Clark then added, "Idaho, Alaska!" before becoming the first candidate in history to be yanked off stage with a cane.
* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' (the American version) has a slight RunningGag of Colin Mochrie carrying a joke for "Scenes from a Hat" [[OverlyLongGag a little too long]] (generally because Drew "forgets" to [[DropTheCow buzz him out]]), at which point Ryan Stiles, or occasionally Brad Sherwood, will come over and gently usher him off center stage.
* ''Series/SesameStreet'': The "Cast of ''charactors''" segment used this on the number 6.
[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'': Deployed in several episodes, including multiple times during the episode that showed the audition process for the show. [[http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Vaudeville Listed on the Muppet Wiki.]]
* In the new ''Film/TheMuppets'' movie, one of these is used to grab most of the other Muppets during the montage.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* The fan game ''VideoGame/MegaManRockForce'' uses these in Charade Man's stage to try and pull the player into spikes.
* ''Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun'', when five objects are dropped during the juggling act.
* Peacock from ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' exits the stage this way when switching out characters. She even does a bit of "softshoe" before getting yanked off-screen.
[[folder:Web Animation]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' [[AnimatedMusicVideo PMV]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmJ2Bkx2C5A "Beat It"]] features one in the post-music video part, when [=AnimatedJames=]' OC asks Flash Sentry if he doesn't mind not being included in the video, because... nobody likes him. Cue Flash struck speechless, and a vaudeville hook slowly reachs for the pegasus before pulling him offstage. Then Ms. Harshwhinny walks in, carrying the hook, and [=AnimatedJames=] gives her money.
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* Referenced in ''Webcomic/BasicInstructions'', when Mullet Boss says that his great-aunt was a professional vaudeville "hook-dodger" -- "she started as [[HollywoodToneDeaf a bad singer]], and the act evolved from there".
* Other uses of this trope are discussed in [[http://www.bugmartini.com/comic/hooked-on-a-reeling/ a strip]] of ''Webcomic/BugMartini''.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Happens to WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck in [[ClassicDisneyShorts shorts]] like "Orphans' Benefit" and "Mickey's Amateurs".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Zoidberg is doing stand up at the Apollo and gets the hook. He breaks it with his claw, only to have another one whack him in the head and pull him away while he's groggy from the blow.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', a disguised [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker Joker]] shows up on stage and starts performing at a stand-up comedy competition -- right as the judges are about to announce the winner. He gets pulled off stage with one of these on the grounds that since he hadn't registered as a participant, he had no business being there. A year later, [[DisproportionateRetribution Joker steals some mind control chips from the Mad Hatter, uses them to turn the judges into third-rate supervillains, and arranges for himself to be the only contestant in that year's competition -- with his henchmen as the new judges]].
* Happens to Batman(!) in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' just when he's about to be caught and brought to "justice" for the crimes committed by [[spoiler:his evil alternate-Earth doppelganger]], courtesy of [[spoiler:the Joker]].
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', Wilt is making a spectacular mess of his introductory speech to a talent show, and gets pulled off in this manner when he's so flustered he can no longer even apologise for his mistakes coherently. Madame Foster then comments how he was much better than [[NoodleIncident last year]].
* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes MerrieMelodies]]'' short ''Hamateur Night'', Egghead gets pulled away by a hook. When he comes back again, two hooks are used. Later, when he comes back a third time, [[RuleOfThree three hooks]] are used, with an extra hook coming in to get his hat.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' episode "You're Fired!", ComicBook/{{Vixen}} gets this treatment during the TerribleIntervieweesMontage.
* A Creator/TexAvery short, ''The Flea Circus'' (1954), has a SadClown flea performer upset the audience and get yanked offstage by a ''full-sized'' hook.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'': In "7 Continents for 7 Koopas", Luigi ends Hip's Koopathon by yanking him with a hook.

Former State Supreme Court Judge to Speak at Susquehanna University Commencement
April 27, 2009
SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Cynthia A. Baldwin, a former justice on the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, past chair of the Pennsylvania State University board of trustees and the first African American female judge elected to the Allegheny Court of Common Pleas, will address an anticipated 429 graduates of Susquehanna University at Commencement services May 10. The event is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in the field house of the James W. Garrett Sports Complex.
The ceremony follows a baccalaureate service at 10 a.m. in the Weber Chapel auditorium and a Commencement luncheon gala from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Charles B. Degenstein Campus Center's Evert Dining Room.
Baldwin currently is a partner in the law firm Duane Morris LLP in Pittsburgh, where she practices appellate litigation within the firm's trial practice group and mediates all types of cases. She served as Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania from 2006-08 and in various divisions of the Allegheny Court of Common Pleas for 16 years.
Prior to her judicial appointments, she was the attorney-in-charge in the Office of the Attorney General at the Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection. She also taught at Widener University Law School in the trial advocacy program.
Baldwin received her law degree from Duquesne University, where she was a member of its Law Review. She went on to teach as both a visiting and an adjunct professor at the university's School of Law, and is a trustee emerita of the school's board of directors and past president of its law alumni board.
Before attending law school, Baldwin taught English and was an assistant dean of student affairs at what is now the Greater Allegheny campus of Pennsylvania State University. She received her bachelor's and master's degrees from Penn State in English and American Literature, respectively. In 1995, the governor of Pennsylvania appointed Baldwin to the Penn State board of trustees, where she eventually served as chair.
Baldwin formerly served on the Pennsylvania Commission for Justice Initiatives and currently is a member of the American Bar Association, Pennsylvania Bar Association, Homer S. Brown Law Association and the Women's Bar Association. She chairs the board of directors of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges. Baldwin was a gubernatorial appointee to the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency from 1990 to 2002, and is a past member of the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing. She also is a former Master in the Pittsburgh chapter of the American Inns of Court and the Matrimonial Inns of Court.
In September 2008, Baldwin's professional success earned her the Greater Pittsburgh Athena Award. In January 2007, Baldwin received an honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities, Honoris Causa from Carlow University in Pittsburgh. In 2003, the Mental Health Association of Allegheny County awarded her the Espirit Children's Service Award for her role in the lives of children with emotional and behavioral problems.
Baldwin was chosen as a Fulbright Scholar in 1994 and lectured at the University of Zimbabwe Law Faculty in Constitutional Law and Jurisprudence. Having worked with judiciaries in several other countries, Baldwin is now involved in efforts in Guinea and Uganda to fight government corruption and to educate people about their rights and responsibilities as citizens of democratic governments.
Founded in 1858, Susquehanna University is a national liberal arts college that prepares students for achievement, leadership and service in a diverse, interconnected world. Academic excellence, study away and service learning, student-faculty collaboration, and rich opportunities for creative and personal growth are hallmarks of a Susquehanna University education. Susquehanna students come from 30 states and 12 countries, and more than 90 percent of them find jobs or pursue graduate study within six months of graduation. The university is located in central Pennsylvania, in the town of Selinsgrove, along the banks of the scenic Susquehanna River and about three hours from major East Coast cultural, financial and recreational centers.

DURHAM, N.C. – Durham businesses won't have to wait the usual 30-to-45 days to receive their inspection reports and bills in the mail thanks to a partnership between the Durham Fire Department and California-based company, Fire Recovery USA. Fire inspectors are set to launch the automated inspection program to expedite inspections, making the entire process more convenient for businesses and fire inspectors, beginning July 1, 2013.According to Fire Marshal Edward Reid, fire inspectors previously provided handwritten inspections and billing was done on a monthly basis. "Now with the automated inspection program, fire inspectors will use iPads to send billing and inspection reports out immediately by email. Business owners without email addresses will receive their bills through traditional mail and will likely receive them within a couple days," Reid said. "This new software won't affect the way we conduct inspections, it will just improve the process by providing our customers with their bills sooner while also improving our inspection efficiency." All businesses that require annual and/or new construction fire inspections and fire permits within the city limits will receive the new inspection billing modifications.For information, contact Sierra Mckoy, public information officer for the Durham Fire Department, at (919) 560-4233, ext. 19242 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

USDA to conduct mid-year surveys
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service will soon conduct two major agricultural surveys to determine crop production and supply levels: the June agricultural survey and the June area survey.
The agency will gather data from farmers across the state through mail, phone and online surveys.
For the area survey, agency representatives will also visit random plots of land and interview the operating farmers and ranchers.
Growers will be asked to provide information on crop acreage, grain stocks, livestock inventory, cash rents, land values and value of sales.
The resulting information will be compiled, analyzed and published in a series of USDA reports, including the annual acreage report and quarterly grain stock report set to come out June 30.
The data will also contribute the NASS monthly and annual crop production reports, the annual small grains summary and the USDA's monthly report "World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates."
All information provided through the surveys is confidential by law. Only state- and national-level data will be published to avoid the identification of an individual operation or producer.
For more information, call the NASS N.C. Field Office at (800) 437-8451 or go to nass.usda.gov.

Census 2010
NALEO's National Initiative to Achieve a Full Latino Count
ya es hora is an historic non-partisan Latino civic participation campaign launched as the Latino community's action-oriented follow-up to the immigrant mobilizations of 2006. The campaign represents the largest and most comprehensive effort to incorporate Latinos as full participants in the American political process. Unlike past approaches which focused on either naturalization or voter registration,
The historic Ya Es Hora campaign will now expand its focus to include the 2010 Census.
The principal goal of the Ya Es Hora Hagase Contar initiative is to increase mail response rates among Latino households in the U.S. through a sustained and aggressive community education initiative.

In order to continue in the Nursing Program, students must achieve minimum grades of C+ in (NURS 102, 301, 310, 315, 351, 360, 430, 401, 410, 421, 451, 461, 470, and 480) and maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.75. Students who receive a grade of C or lower in a nursing course or who fail any nursing course segment (didactic or clinical: NURS 102, 301, 310, 315, 351, 360, 401, 410, 421, 430, 451, 461, 470, and 480) will be allowed to repeat the specific failed course (didactic or clinical) only once. Only one nursing course may be repeated. Students who fail to achieve a B or better in a required nursing course (didactic or clinical) for a second time will be dismissed from the Nursing Program. Given the nature of nursing practice, students will not be permitted to use a withdrawal from a course to avoid failure. Withdrawal from a course is only permitted in the case of a documented illness, personal emergency or unusual circumstance and not because of a course/clinical/ lab rotation failure or anticipated failure.
Repeating a Course
- Identified Prerequisite Courses- Students may repeat only two (2) identified prerequisite courses in which they received a grade of C or below; these courses may be repeated only once. This requirement includes courses taken at other colleges. Students who are required to repeat an identified prerequisite course must achieve a grade of C+ or better in the repeated course. Students who fail to achieve this requirement are not admissible to the nursing program.
- Nursing Courses- Students who receive less than a C+ in a nursing course (clinical or didactic) may repeat the course only once. Students may repeat only one (1) nursing course. Students who are required to repeat a nursing course must achieve a grade of B or better in the repeated course. A grade of B-, C+ is not acceptable as a grade for the repeated course and constitutes a course failure. Failure in more than one nursing course constitutes grounds for dismissal from the Nursing Program.
Time Limit for Completion of Professional Phase
Students are accepted as a cohort into the professional phase of the nursing program in the spring semester of the sophomore year (fourth semester) beginning with the first nursing course NURS 102. The professional phase of the nursing program consists of 5 consecutive semesters. A student must complete the curriculum within 3.5 years. If a student needs to take a leave from the program, extenuating circumstances will be considered by the department and upon department approval, a student who is deemed eligible to return must take and pass competency exams for all prior completed coursework. If passed successfully, the student may then progress forward in the curriculum. If unsuccessful in meeting course competencies, the student must repeat the competencies; the student must repeat the coursework.
Re-applying to the Clinical Phase
Students who have withdrawn, failed to return from a leave of absence at the designated time of 3.5 yrs. or have successfully repeated a failed course, may be considered for readmission with departmental approval and if:
- They left in good academic standing.
- Financial obligations to NYIT have been met.
- There is space available in the professional courses of that particular year.
Demonstration of Competency: Absence in the Clinical Area for more than 6 Months:
- Students returning to clinical courses after an absence of 6 months or more are required to demonstrate the level of theoretical and clinical competency required for the course they are entering. This includes, but is not limited to physical assessment, medication administration, competency skills, set competency, documentation, etc. Students are required to demonstrate skills in both the nursing laboratory and participate in the patient simulation experience, select documentation and take scheduled exams.
Returning students must contact the Department of Nursing one semester prior to the semester they intend to reenroll in the nursing program.
This policy supports the Department of Nursing's commitment to patient safety.
Grading, Testing, Attendance & Progression Policies: Academic Grading System
Grades for all courses are based on the standards outlined in the college-wide Student Handbook. The grading system for the nursing courses is based on the listing cited below. At the end of each semester, the grade point average (GPA) and cumulative grade point average (CGPA) are computed. The following information describes the process for calculating the GPA.
Example: Course Grade Value x Credits per Course = Quality Points
|Quality Points
- Total Credits = 13
- Total Quality Points = 36.6
- Total Quality Points divided by Total Credits = Grade Point Average 2.82
|Numerical Value
|Point Value
|96 - 100
|90 - 95
|87 - 89
|84 - 86
|80 - 83
|77 - 79
|74 - 76
|Withdrawal failing
|Failure from an incomplete
Academic Probation
Students must adhere to the standards specified in the college-wide Student Handbook. Students are placed on academic probation if their CGPA falls below 1.7 as a freshman, 1.90 as a sophomore, or 2.00 as a junior or senior. However, a nursing student cannot enter the professional phase with a CGPA less than 2.75. In addition, a nursing student who does not maintain a CGPA of 2.75 in his/her freshman or sophomore year will be evaluated by the Academic Review Committee for dismissal from the nursing program.
Grievance or Appeal Procedure
Refer to College-Wide Student Handbook. Students are required to follow the step-wise protocol as outlined in the handbook.
The student may be dismissed from the Nursing Program if the grade point average and/or the cumulative grade point average fall below 2.75. Students may also be dismissed from the Nursing Program by exhibiting improper behavior or professional misconduct to include, but not limited to: rude behavior toward faculty, fighting on campus or institutional grounds, plagiarism, striking a client, compromising the safety of a client, unsafe nursing care and not adhering to the Department of Nursing Policies and the Policies of the Clinical Agency Partners.
Application for voluntary withdrawal from the Nursing Program must be submitted to the Nursing Chairperson, in writing, with a copy to the Dean of Health Professions. Withdrawals from a course are only permitted in the case of a documented illness, personal emergency or unusual circumstance and not because of a course/clinical/lab rotation failure or anticipated failure. Given the nature of nursing practice, students will not be permitted to use withdrawal from a course to avoid a failure. In addition, withdrawals are permitted only for students who have no academic or disciplinary proceedings or financial obligations to NYIT. Letters of "Good Standing" will be written for students who meet the above criteria.

Antarctic Petrel
|Description & Characteristics:
Several species of petrel in a wide ranging group of families can be found in the Antarctic. Most petrelsl have a skittering, skimming-type flight; hence their name, which means 'Little Peter" for the Apostle who walked on the water with Christ on the Sea of Galilee. All petrel species have dense plumage, webbed feet and deeply grooved and hooked bills. Many species of petrel breed in dense colonies on cliffs and steep rocky slopes, some of them 60 miles or more from the open sea on inland nunataks and mountain ranges. Petrels typically have long nostrils, indicating a strong sense of smell, unusual for birds. On human-inhabited islands, introduced cats and rats have severely reduced some populations of diving and burrowing petrels. Interestingly, most petrel species can regurgitate their stomach oil as a defense mechanism against predators.

Great-winged Petrel
White-headed Petrel

Wilson's Storm Petrel
- Old-time whalers used to call Giant Petrels 'breakbones' because of their frequent blood-stained brawls over carrion meat.
- Diving petrels are small seabirds with stubby wings that seem to whir like wind-up toys as they buzz about the sky in perpetual motion.
- Where most petrels flap and glide, diving petrels actually 'fly' under water quite similar to penguins.
- Storm petrels are the smallest and lightest seabirds in the world.
- The Wilson's Storm-petrel skips across the surface of the water as it feeds, stirring up small marine organisms with its feet.
- Wilson's Storm petrels feed while on the wing, skimming and pattering with their feet over the sea surface.
- White-chinned petrels have been called 'cape hens' and also 'shoemakers,' the latter based on their call, which resembles that of a cobbler hammering shoes.

More Muscle Comes from More T
Everyone has some testosterone—babies, little girls playing with tea sets, grandparents shuffling through the laxative aisle at CVS—but no one has hormonal increases from one year to the next like a maturing male. His level increases tenfold during puberty, starting sometime between ages 9 and 15, and he hits near-peak production in his late teens. From there, his testosterone level climbs slowly until about age 30, at which point he hits or passes a few other peaks.
His muscle mass will top out between the ages of 18 and 25, unless he intervenes with some barbell therapy. Sexual desire peaks in his early 30s. Sports performance, even among elite athletes, peaks in the late 20s and starts to decline in the early 30s.
None of this is inevitable, of course. Unless you're that elite athlete who's trained for his sport since before the short hairs sprouted, you probably have the potential to grow bigger and stronger than you've ever been. And that could also put a little of that teenage explosiveness back into your sex life.
The testosterone/muscle-mass link is pretty clear in general terms: The more you have of one, the more you get of the other. Strength training, while it doesn't necessarily make your testosterone level go up permanently, certainly makes it get a little jiggy in the short term. We know of four ways to create a temporary surge in your most important hormone.
1. Do exercises that employ the most muscle mass, such as squats, deadlifts, pullups, and dips.
2. Use heavy weights, at least 85 percent of the maximum you can lift once on any given exercise.
3. Do a lot of work during your gym time—multiple exercises, multiple sets, multiple repetitions.
4. Keep rest periods fairly short—30 to 60 seconds. Of course, you can't do all these things in the same workout. For example, when you work a lot of muscle mass with heavy weights, you can't do a high volume of exercise, nor can you work effectively with short rest periods. This is among the many reasons you should periodize your workouts, which is a polysyllabic way of saying change your workouts every few weeks, rather than do the same thing from now till the gene gods recall the merchandise.

So, How Was Poly Speed Dating?
I've often started event reviews by saying that I wasn't sure what to expect. This uncertainty could be exciting as a chance for new experiences and flexibility in imagination. The lack of information could also mean wouldn't know if it would be worth going to and I might pick an alternative thing to do.
For poly speed dating there was a good amount of information on the website which gave me a good idea of what would happen and the general atmosphere the organisers were aiming for. I rather like pictures too though didn't expect them this time since this was the first event of its kind in UK that I know of.
I knew the venue from previous Polydays and other events. I like the carpeted comfyness of the pub, Doggetts, with plenty of booths to sit in, and the central city & river views. Accessibility for people with disabilities we found out over time isn't perfect but finding an overall better venue is also hard.
I was surprised a new poly event without huge publicity managed to sell out. Well done organisers!
The website made it clear to me that the event was friendly to people who, like me, weren't heterosexual and was explicitly Trans friendly. I spotted and liked a practical tip on not inadvertently being unwelcoming to people of colour.
I had a chat with another guy about how the rules of the evening could be seen as a bit nannying. However, if some forms of good behaviour are obvious to me, they may not be to everyone and it does me no harm to be reminded of them. I think the rules helped create an expectation that the atmosphere wasn't going to include having to fend off suitors; I think that helps welcome many women whom I hear have to deal with setting and policing boundaries for men all of the time. I'd like to hear from some women about that since I wouldn't presume to speak for them.
It also helps make the space somewhere people can feel open to connecting without unwanted closeness later. Fostering that openness makes it more likely I will share more in my conversations and that others might be more connected with me during a "date".
I say "date" but wanted to be clear with myself and my lovers in advance what I expected from poly speed dating. I was pretty clear what I was looking for: a social and fun time with other poly folks and making some new friends. I'm aiming to steer my life towards seeing more of the people I'm already pleased to be attached to. I'm not really offering a lot of time or emotional involvement to anyone new.
My only previous experience of speed dating had been an easy way of talking to new people and a chance to catch up with people I already knew, but hadn't had a lot of one-to-one chatting time with. I hoped poly speed dating would work well for friend making and enjoying as well as for people seeking new partnerships and loves.
I recognised many people from previous poly things, and noticed quite a high crossover with the bi community that I know. I noted the website mentioned the venue as having had a bi event also in the past. I wonder why this was mentioned and the poly things were not – perhaps I just missed it. I also was happy to see new faces. I helped reassure someone that everyone didn't already know everyone else. I liked there being a mix of people new to poly and some of us who had been doing it for longer (though I would not assume longer means we do it better)
I planned to arrive with one lover, met another on the way, and metamours were also present so it was good to briefly catch up with them too.
Before the event each participant was given a form to fill out giving their gender and the gender preferences of people they wanted to meet. You could also date as a group, say whether you had an interest in kink (don't know what was done with that) and what age range you were willing to meet. Ticking boxes is necessarily a bit crude, and many of us don't quite fit whatever category you might think up, but I think the choices there worked well for many.
When we arrived we had a name sticker which also had a code on it, and a personal sheet of the code and table numbers for each of our dates of the evening. You could state whether you also wanted "friends" dates with people for whom gender or age preferences did not apply. My list was full, some people had a lot of free spaces on their cards.
I was glad of the carpets for soundproofing in a space with 100 odd people trying to chat at the same time. It was pretty cosy and lively but I didn't find it overly loud. There were plenty of sample questions handed out, but with such short chatting times in the dates I had we didn't use the questions. I was pleased that I met plenty of cute and interesting men, as well as women I enjoyed talking to. After each 5 minute date we would tick on our form if we wanted our contact details passed on at the end (provided the other person did too) and there were also three spaces where you could ask for your details to be passed on to a person you spotted who looked interesting as a "cruise". There were short breaks after every few dates.
By the end my voice was giving out and I wanted to spend time with a special someone I already knew, so I didn't stay to socialise for long.
I enjoyed it, hope more of them happen, and short of a mythical perfect venue I can't think of a lot I'd change. I'd like to hear how others experienced it, or would like to see at the next one.

And while we had hoped this headline might apply to the Canucks' franchise 40 year Stanley Cup drought, we are relieved that this season (the longest ever in team history) has finally come to an end.
And while, upon reflection, it will become a season to celebrate, right now it's impossible to feel anything but disappointment.
The players and coaches will all say the right things about having left it all out there in this strangely epic Stanley Cup Final. But from this vantage point, we can't help but think about the lack of anything resembling a sixty minute effort in the three games in Boston from the goaltender on out.
Back in 1994, it was easy to feel that the Canucks got jobbed by some phantom calls in the decisive game 7, not to mention a Nathan Lafayette goal post. Unlike this time around, the Canucks were wearing their opponent down – with another few clicks on that clock, we might have just tied it. Indeed, in 1994, it seemed we deserved more.
This time around, when it came to crunch time you never got the sense that Roberto Luongo was going to make a clutch save or that our elite forwards were ever going to find the back of the net behind the seemingly ever expanding Tim Thomas. In 2011, it seems the seven game series result flattered the locals.
So what happened? How did a Cup win that seemed almost certain just over a week ago come so quickly off the rails? And what does this mean for the future of this team? There are many questions. And there will be answers. But not today. Because it's over.Tags: 2011 Stanley Cup, Boston Bruins, Roberto Luongo, Tim Thomas, Vancouver Canucks
I for one would like to congratulate you guys in a season well-played, even though the outcome was not what you wanted. Never mind the rioting – there are stupid people everywhere – your team represented itself well, and just broke down at the end. Please hold your heads high Vancouver.
I will say one thing, which I say to a number of people who bleed Orange and Blue for a little football team in my town. I think you guys might be taking all of this a little too personally. The last weeks (and months) have contained so many nervous, unhappy people in these blog pages… It seems so many got so caught up in how some media outlet was portraying your team, how horrible your opponents and their fans are, how terrible the NHL is, that you lost track of your enjoyment of the sport. Instead of discussing the play of your talented team, so many gravitated towards negativity, uncertainty, aggression and what others deem "whining".
In your time of grieving, please remember this is a game. It's entertainment. I know it's easy to get wrapped up in all of this (as I do with our lowly team from time to time)… But please – let it go, play with your kids, remember how much fun you had during the majority of the season, and know that real hockey fans appreciate the Canucks and hope they do well next season.
Hang your heads high Vancouver! And when you're ready to discuss things again, can you possibly find a way to acquire Stastny from us? He'd love it in your fair city!
"So many gravitated towards negativity, uncertainty, aggression and what others deem "whining"."
This statement says it all. This is exactly why most players in the league (sans Boston's natural rivals in Montreal and New York) and most fans of other teams were actively rooting against the Canucks.

p.s. For the record, a good Stilton is, and will continue to be, one of the finest cheeses in the world. Really.
Quote from: stipa on December 20, 2007, 01:35:56 pmp.s. For the record, a good Stilton is, and will continue to be, one of the finest cheeses in the world. Really.Everyone knows a good Wisconsin cheddar is better!
I think the UCE is a step in the evolutionary cycle, and rather than the end of an era, is the continuation thereof.
I believe I've heard that there is a law in India that they must have parts available for a vehicle produced there for either 10 or 15 years after production stops. Maybe someone else can confirm this? jon
With so many riders being in their 50's and beyond I think there might be more worry about parts being available for our bodies than for the classic RE!
There is a big difference between having something you like because you like it and having something because others place a high value on it. One is enjoyable, the other just ego.
BanditRE is correct. It is either a 250 Clipper, or Crusader from the late 50's or early 60's. It has the early seat, and late gas tank. Hutch
The new Bullet Lean-Burn should be available from dealers toward the end of Janruary. I do take offense about the POS remark,(from the person who spoke not from prof_stack) it shows the ignorance of the club member you talked to. I would hold a current RE up against any of the Brit bikes mentioned when they were new. Back in the day, most any Brit bike was a "work in progress", it took a lot of care, fooling around with etc. to get them in the shape that they are today. There was most likely never one made that didn't leak from the factory. Any restored bike you see now is typically grossly over restored compared to how they really were coming out of the crate back then. To be sure the RE has all of the issues that come with 1950's technology, but the materials, machining etc are vastly superior to the reality of bikes back in the 1940's and 1950's. It is easy to only remember how beautiful they were (are) and forget how fussy they actually were. If you are ever able to talk to someone who actually sold them back then you will get the same story.
