     Men’s Work/Snow Boots
     3  pair  of  men’s  used  boots: The first  pair  are  Coleman
     Waterproof  Thinsulate boots and are in good  condition.  They
     were only worn about a dozen times. The only flaw is that  the
     zipper is broken on the left boot. If you know where to have a
     zipper  fixed, you are in good shape. They are size  13.  They
     have  a  leather  upper.  The  second  pair  are  Texas  Steer
     Thinsulate  boots and are in good condition  also.  They  have
     been  worn about 6 or 7 times for hiking. The tread  is  still
     excellent but the bottoms need some cleaning. They are a  size
     12.  They  have a leather upper. The third pair are  Palladium
     (paratrooper style) boots and are in very good condition. They
     have  an already worn look to them when you buy them new. They
     are leather and a size 13. I paid over $150 for all three pair
     of  boots. This is a real bargain. I cleaned all boots to  the
     best  of  my  ability. $60 OBO Please email or call  with  any
     questions! Joshua Bailey Phone: 724-478-5638

     COMPUTER~INTERNET TOOLS AND TIPS
     
     Start Menu and Favorites Menu Aren't in Alphabetical Order
     
     QUESTION:
     When  I install a new program it ends up at the bottom of  the
     Start  menu.  I'd like the Programs to appear in  alphabetical
     order. Also, the Favorites menu isn't alphabetical, either. Is
     there  a  way to make these display in alphabetical  order  so
     they'll be easier to navigate?
     
     ANSWER:
     Some  folks  like  it this way; others prefer an  alphabetical
     arrangement.  You had to edit the registry to  fix  this  with
     older  versions of IE, but if you're running IE  5  or  above,
     it's a lot easier. Just do the following:
     
        1. Click Start | All Programs.
        2. Select any item on the menu.
        3. Right click and select Sort by Name.
     
     You  can do the same thing with the Favorites and My Documents
     menus. [Source: WXPnews]

     OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/archives/8
     
     Well-Oiled:  The  Great Seaboard Oil Company,  in  the  early
     1900s,  transported oil through pipes that crossed the  Kiski
     Valley near Leechburg. It carried oil from oil fields in  the
     mid-west  to  the East Coast to be loaded onto freighters  in
     port. With the Oil Pipeline industry less than 40 years  old,
     this  was  considered a great feat, sending petroleum  across
     half  the  nation,  and through our valley. And,  ironically,
     through  the same Valley that had a strong hand  in  the  oil
     industry  beginning  and in pipeline development.  Read  more
     interesting  history  at Our Local Heritage  at  above  site.
