     COMPUTER~INTERNET TOOLS AND TIPS
     
     ERROR 404: How To Find Missing Websites
     
     You  may go to a web site or click a link to a site that  does
     not  exist  and  you’ll probably get an error message  saying,
     "Error  404, Object Not Found." If you do, there is  a  little
     trick you can do to help locate the missing file.
     
     Let’s pretend you attempted to go to:
     http://www.website.com/page/missing/web.html. If  you  receive
     an  error  message saying it cannot find that  web  site,  try
     going  back  to the root of the website to try and locate  the
     site  that you are looking for. For example, attempt to go  to
     http://www.website.com/page/missing. You may be able to find a
     link  for your page from there. And if that doesn’t work,  try
     going   to   http://www.website.com/page,   and   then    just
     http://www.website.com.  You should  have  a  good  chance  of
     locating the site you are looking for from one of those  sites
     if  it  has  been moved or renamed. However, if  it  has  been
     deleted you are out of luck. [Source: Computertips.com]

     OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/archives/8
     
     Kiski  Valley's  Own Oil Refinery: In 1865, before  the  great
     incorporation  of small oil companies into Standard  Oil,  the
     Kiski  Valley had at least one oil refinery itself.  The  Penn
     Oil  Works was built just above present-day Schenley,  on  the
     banks  of  the Allegheny. At its greatest capacity,  it  could
     refine 5000 gallons of crude oil a month. Little more is known
     about  the company. Read more interesting history at Our Local
     Heritage  at  above site. Click on “Archives” for  a  list  of
     history tidbits.
