“My Computer Is Acting Funny”
http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/2570
Last year Pat Zaranek of Saltsburg, a retired neurology
specialist nurse, was getting ready to leave for Myrtle Beach
when her laptop started “acting funny”. Pat said she depended
on her laptop to continue getting her e-mail and follow the
news while away each winter. Needing a quick repair she took
her laptop to HighVision Computer Service Center where
Jonathan B. Myers, Service Manager, worked on her laptop. He
“really got our laptop in order,” Pat said. “He was really
terrific,” she continued.

features that are worth noting. For starters, users now have
the ability to display local weather conditions in their

web pages. First-time users will benefit from such existing
features as a built-in web form spell checker and a universal
URL filter. This version is compatible with all computers

OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/archives/8
Turkey River Place: The Allegheny River takes its name from
the 'Allegewi', the name the Delaware and Shawnee supposedly
called the Mound Builder peoples. But according to one
historian, the Shawnee called the river something different,
the Pulawu-thepi-ki, meaning 'Turkey River Place'. We could
have very easily been calling Allegheny Township,
'Pulawuthepiki Township' instead… Read more interesting
history at Our Local Heritage at above site. Click on

The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire
http://digbig.com/4fymt
A coastal city leveled by a predictable natural disaster.
Public officials thrown into a tailspin. Residents desperately
clinging to survival. No, it's not New Orleans -- it's San
Francisco in 1906. As the 100th anniversary of that quake
nears, U.C. Berkeley's Bancroft Library has digitized photos,
movies, and other artifacts to present the story of this
disquietingly familiar tragedy. The night before the quake
struck, the famous tenor Enrico Caruso sang at the Grand Opera
House. The next morning, the new fire chief struggled to
quench raging fires. An interview with survivors recounts
damaged homes, escape attempts, and refugee camps. While
assistance poured in from around the world, local politicians
were accused of wasting the aid resources. An interactive map
leads to photos from different neighborhoods, and a panoramic
collage shows how the whole city was flattened by the
disaster. Let's hope this kind of historical evidence can help
us prepare better in the future. [Yahoo! Weekly Picks]

Animal Vegetable Video
http://www.anivegvideo.com/
What does a flock of sheep do when it's alone? In 1988, Sam
Easterson strapped a video camera to a sheep's head to find
out. (The answer: a lot of starting and stopping and checking
in with each other). Sam has since outfitted a wide range of
wild animals with his custom-designed "helmet-mounted"
cameras. And, with the sample footage available here, he
allows us to glimpse his astonishing work. A wolf snuffles
and digs in the undergrowth; a baby chick squeakily trails
another hatchling; a tarantula pads across the rocks. There's
a lot of nosing around: A wheezy pig pokes in the mud with
its wide snout; an alligator nudges through the swamp,
occasionally flaring its nostrils. We're even offered a
tumbleweed's point of view as it plunges onward. The videos
are choppy and brief, but they're unfettered by human
presence -- and that's enormously satisfying. [Yahoo! Weekly
Picks]
Miss Snark, the Literary Agent
http://misssnark.blogspot.com/
So 2006 is the year you're going to finally write that novel.
Write on, Shakespeare. But once you finish, if you want to
see your masterpiece on the recommended shelf, you better get
yourself an agent. Not just any literary agent. Make it one
who swills gin from a pail, wears stiletto heels, and carries
an unhealthy obsession with George Clooney. Make it Miss
Snark. If she can't (or won't) be your agent, she'll at least
answer your questions about the quandaries of getting
published. [Yahoo! Weekly Picks]
