Anybody elses electricity out besides mine? I was told my grid will not be fixed until Wed night.

My neighbor had a tree go through his roof :o

Our power is out....posting from Barnes & Noble's....

Practice baskets are coated in a 1/2" of ice....still went out and sank a few....

Can anyone say Blackhawk cleanup month?

can anbody say all courses clean up months

Well here in Houston I played 2 nice rounds of GOLF in about 82 degree weather....the down side is we still have misquitoes (sp) Have a COLD one on me...or aHOT one if needed. :D:cool:Yall come visit I gotta house that sleeps about 10 :D

Hope all ya'll are alright. 74 and sunny here today. Today is one of the days I don't miss OK.

Andrew and I drove by Reed and tried to drive throught BlackHawk.

Reed is a total disaster. It looks like every tree is broken.

Blackhawk is both a disaster area and now flooded as well.

This is going to take a lot of work and time to get these courses back in shape.

We are the TDSA, so it will be done..

I am headed by Riverside on the way home, we have a mini there this Sunday.

By the way. they re-scheduled the Toy Run for that day so everyone should get there early, I think by noon if possible. Otherwise parking may be a real problem..

Eveybody be careful.....

McClure and Dovillio are disaster areas. We played Mohawk on Sunday and it was a real experience. Tree limbs falling everywhere some whole trees. It was amazing seeing and hearing all of it coming down.
We only had one close call other than that it was okay.

Here in Owasso it looks like every where else, total destruction, looks like a huge bomb went off. I just got power back on at work at 11:00 today. We were lucky at home and only went with out power for about 12 hours and it came back on yesterday. At least I din't have to sleep by the fire place again.
And We HAVE cable TV. :D

I live near Riverside & it looks pretty bad as well.
I cant even imagine how black / red must look.
I hope I have power at home tonight, but I'm not expecting to.
its been out since about 6am Monday morning.
I did the reading by candlelight thing last night. I don't want to do that again, Luckily my office has power, internet and couches. I might be staying here tonight.

Andrew and I drove by Reed ... ? ... as in RedHawk ? ... and tried to drive throught BlackHawk.

Eveybody be careful.....

This is total BS. Disc and Ball Golf courses are hating life right now, I have no power at home so I'm sleeping at my Mom's house who does not have power either. But she does have 2 has fireplaces that we have been pumping full blast. I'm sure she is going to love her gas bill this month :D My brother Mark was told by PSO that his house (coweta) will not have power until the 18th. This a bunch of horse sheet.

IT'S TOUGH ALL OVER...LAST EVENING WE WERE GOING TO GO TO CASINO FOR MICHAELS BIRTHDAY...WITH THE WEATHER LIKE IT IS, CREEK NATION WAS CLOSED...SO WE DECIDE TO GO TO DINNER...WITH MASSIVE LINES AT ALL THE OPEN RESTAURANTS WE DECIDED ON PIZZA...WENT TO PAPA JOHNS AND WAITED ON PIZZA FOR OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF...LINDA WENT TO GET GAS...LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SHE HAD TO WAIT IN LINE...AND WAIT...MURPHYS RAN OUT OF GAS...KUM AND GO HAD LONG LINES AND MOVED SO SLOW THAT LINDA DECIDED TO GO TO TULSA AND GET GAS...AFTER RUNNING AROUND TOWN AND WAITING ON PIZZA I WAS LOW ON GAS, SO I DECIDE TO GO TO THE QT ON HIGHWAY 20 AFTER TALKING TO SOMEONE AT THE PAPA JOHN'S...THERE WERE ABOUT A HUNDRED OTHERS THAT HAD HEARD THAT THEY WERE NOW OPEN AND SELLING GAS...SO I DECIDE TO GO TO GERMAN CORNER AND SEE IF ANYTHING IS OPEN UP THAT WAY...ENDED UP IN COLLINSVILLE AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE GAS STATION OPEN THAT HAS 12 GAS PUMPS AND 11 CUSTOMERS GETTING GAS...WHILE MY WIFE WAS IN TULSA NOT ABLE TO GET GAS ALMOST TO RUN OUT OF GAS, A FRIEND OF HERS FROM WORK BROUGHT HER 3 GALLONS OF GAS SO THAT SHE COULD MAKE IT HOME.
EVEN THOUGH THINGS ARE TOUGH, WE STILL HAVE TO THANK OUR FRIENDS FOR BEING THERE.

Sounds like you took the scenic route for some gasoline....big howdy.

Happy to have power in my place in Jenks! :cool:
We only have 6 extra people to bunk in so far plus :) 3 extra dogs :( so we still have a few feet of floor left. Rent is cheap, food and firewood (what a bargain) :D

I guess it's not a good day to hug a tree :mad:

Be Safe Tulsa, I hope everyone's OK

Thanks goodness it is not us yet in STL. We had this happen and tornados last year. Good luck to all you OKI boys in the cleanup.

Hunter park is really not as bad as I would have guessed there are several trees down but all and all not bad

I'm heading to Tulsa tomorrow for my regular bi-weekly food delivery.

What are roads like? It looks like I 44 is ok, but what about 169 and 75? I prefer one of those as opposed to the 'pike, but if the Interstate is in better shape...

thanks! Best of luck to TDSA with getting everything back into shape. Let's hope this is the last one like this.

KC missed most of it, fortunately. We have ice, but nothing nearly as bad as down there, and Tulsa now seems about like KC in Jan 2002.

Miserable times. Nice days, if it don't rain, eh??

roads are fine no problems except we still have alot of stop lights out so stay on the highways unless you have to get off

Thanks, Jerry!

Hey, the Pizza Shoppe at 131st and Memorial is open and kickin'.

cool...i'm right down the road from there.

No, I meant Reed Park...

I am no longer powerless! Thank you GOD!!!!!

Wow...that's all I could say when I drove into Mohawk this afternoon. I couldn't get as far as the courses for all the roadkill trees, but just looking at the woods by the gates told me BOTH courses are all but totaled.

Best of luck, y'all.

That's sucks Mike, crazy weather!
MOVE TO TEXAS!! :p
http://www.d16acbl.org/img/texas2.gif :D

Hey anyone got pics of the devistation? GARY? Just currious to see the courses in this state. Mine are still covered in misquitoes :D

This link will show what it looks like all over town.
The first pic is a prefect example of what the courses look like. :(

these are some pics i took. this is across the street from Riverside DGC. You can kinda see the baskets #11 & #12.

Maharg those are some killer pics. you guys be CAREFULL good luck on the cleanup....hope too many holes don't change drasticly :confused:

Wow....What a mess. :(...Power just came on at my work today. I never thought I would be happy to go to work but this feels great. I'm starting to see a few lights come on around 41st and Peoria but still no lights at the Moose Lodge. :(

Hope everybody is being safe out there. Last night a log almost rolled out of the fire place onto my head.

I don't mind camping out for a day or two but this sucks. :mad:....Not to mention cold toliet seats. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I always suspected you were the type to sit down to pee. :o:D

Not to mention cold toliet seats. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif



LMAO! Taking a crap in the morning was COLD!

Thats pretty scary. It was like this the 2 times it happened here in STL. Good luck w/the cleanup.

I am still powerless...This is starting to suck..BIGTIME!!!

Our power came back on around 7:30 this evening.

Good luck to those without, hang in there..

Dang, I might miss all of this.... :o

haikey is screwed but they have a good crew out there....i bet they get that park in order pretty quick

all the baskets you could see from the road at haikey did not seem to take on any major hits..lucky.

i just bought a chainsaw online. they are hard to find in town from what i hear...so i just ordered one online...should be here in a week. gives me a good week to think about how much work i have to do with that new chainsaw. :(

A few of us got out to play Dovillio yesterday. The course is pretty heavily damaged but is playable. I am going to try and get into Mowhawk this afternoon, to see the damage and maybe play some holes if possible. I will try and take some pics as well.

FYI......I just called Chandlerpark their answering machine said it has been closed until fur-ther notice for safety reasons. I guess they are afraid some broken tree limb might fall down on some unsupecting park patron. Hopefully they will re-open by the 22nd for Furdog's Christmas Special. :(

Those of you going to Friday Night Flights tonight, please be careful and not throw into the trees and bring down a loose limb on the card in front of you. :o....It might be a good night to wear a hardhat. ;)

The good news of the day?.....My power has been restored so there is a good chance I might be GETTING SOME later tonight.

Bark.....Bark.....Woof.....Woof!!!! :) :cool::) :cool:

THE DONKEY! HEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW.

Furdog,
Imagine, on the road, in the Winter, w/the Dead. I have been there, that is what I would call, a hotel room.

Peace

wow
what a week
back in power
6 days in the cold is not cool
the florence park side of town like many is jacked up

good to hear you got power back slack!

Played Hunter on Friday. It is not as bad as I expected. Only one tee pad was totally blocked. I've almost finished clearing out the debris from my own yard, and I hoping to do some work at Hunter soon. Are there any chain saw owners out there who are interested?

looks like the storm closed all the throwing lanes.
May be poke and pray next Sunday.

yeah I took a tree off a roof at florence park..... :Dtoday is day 10 for the zucconi family with out power. :mad:but thats okay, we have a generator and :cool:

Hope your power comes back on soon, Zooc...sorry to hear that.

Last I heard The Swag Man still had no power either.

I have plenty of firewood :D maybe I will burn tonight. ;)

I went 8 days. Mine just came back on about 30 minutes ago. That means I get to clean the fridge tonight. I think I might even enjoy it.

today is day 10 for the zucconi family with out power. :mad:



That's what you get for voting "NO" on the River tax. ;)

my power flickered and I had to reset all the digital clocks
That sucked
then after I did that I went back and started surfing the net and watching TV

OOPs sorry :D;)

is there a coordinated effort in the plans to clean up any or all the courses in town?

I took my pole saw & axe out to Hunter yesterday and cleaned up holes 1-4 & 12 & 13. Someone had been there before me and cleaned out a lot of small stuff from the fairways of 1-4. The big stuff on some of the fairways will have to wait for chain saws.

As far as a coordinated effort, I'll bet everyone is still busy cleaning out their own yards right now.

Bristow:
A littel moist in places but playable
I cleared fairways Sunday so come play if u want this weekend
thanks

Nice job, Jim...i plan in walking BlackHawk/RedHawk soon and making a list of what needs to be done. My yard still needs work.

I pulled a lot of the little stuff mon. evening

at hunter

Andrew and I played Bristow today and it looked great. There are a few brush piles but it is very playable.

Thanks to John and who ever helped clean it up..

Great course by the way, I love hole 2..

This is a great time to be a chainsaw.

great time to be a chainsaw retail outlet :D Here is one count--- Mohawk Golf Course(ball) has 688 trees damaged with hangers..... :( Vacation nazi said"" No vac for you" next!!!!! :eek: :cool: sEE YALL NEXT oCTOBER :)

You'll do anything to avoid a DG showdown with me won't you. :D

Finally got into Black hawk today for the first time since the ice storm. Where do I start? Half way through walking it, I felt sick and wanted to cry. I actually had to stop and get my berrings a couple of times because I couldn't tell where I was on the course. :o

I saw a couple of bent baskets and #14 basket is destroyed.
I would put a conservitive estimate of about a year before if could be playable again and that would be with a lot of volunteer help over the entire time. There is so much downed lumber that it can't be drug off to the sides of the fairways. If it were, some holes would be lined the entire length 4ft high or more. It will have to be cut up and hauled out.
If we were to do it right, we might be able to raise some funds to cover clean up by selling some fire wood. We could stock pile it around the course and haul it out as we can.

Any way we do it though is going to take everyone's help and a real long time. :(

sorry to hear about the course. i have thought of the firewood fundraising idea here as well but haven't ever followed through on it. i think it's a great idea if the parks dept is copacetic with it.

WILL THE GTO NEED TO BE PLAYED AT ALTERNATE COURSES?

Dave: Is the damage so bad that there might be changes if the course layout?

We would have to wait until it is cleaned up to make that assesment.

The GTO is in Wayne's hands but as for what courses will be used, I have no idea. All of the courses have been damaged, some more than others. I would think that McClure, Dovillio, Hunter and Red Hawk would be ready by that time.

It is near impossible to make any kind of assesment until we can see what the city will do. As for Balck Hawk, I'm afraid it will fall on us for the 1st 6 months and the city may be able to help with some of it after that.

I know we can get it done and back in shape it will just be a very, very, long process.

I'm sure the upcoming months will offer a lot more work days than minis on the monthly schedules.

Dave: Thanks for the info.

I don't know if anyone has considered this but...
Is there anyway FEMA or any other disaster assistance
will be available to help the parks dept.
or us( we are a not for profit org.) in the cleanup?
I kind of doubt it but you never know. :p

The only kind of assistance I have heard of is
Low Interest Loans... like that would help us :o

Just figured I would throw that out there.
D.P. :confused:

Well I hope the parks department doesn't have to wait on FEMA funding in order to get the clean up done.

I know the towns that suffered flood damage from 6 months ago still haven't received any of the promised FEMA money that they were supposed to get.

:p

well that sucks
but We did it before and I bet if we pull together we can get it done pretty quick
when I get back from from montreal and this 2 feet of snow I will be ready to get started as soon as the parks dept. tells us its Ok to start working on it

I know as the best club in the country We can get it done

The city has been on the fema thing for a while, they know somewhat what they are doing.... dave is right about when we ,may even be able to start on blackhawk.. heck, we are working 7 10's untill further notice, all vacations cancelled, with few exceptions.... It is like a war zone with some nice amenities like power when you go home... :( gotogo

Andrew and I walked through Blackhawk today.

I agree overall with Dave's assessment. Some of the holes are really bad.

Holes 1 and 2 need some work but not bad.

Hole 3, major work. Trees are down the entire length.

Hole 4, moderate damage, most is by the path near hole 3, but also further down the fairway.

Hole 5, not that bad really.

Hole 6, total disaster area, one of the two worst.

Hole 7, the big tree left of the basket is half down. This is one of the biggest trees dimension wise.

Holes 8 through 10 are not bad except the big tree on 10 is 1/2 broken and bending towards the pond.

Hole 11, pretty bad, but not a long hole.

Hole 12, tee pad and by the basket needs work.

Hole 13 is terrible, trees are down everywhere. This is where I was seriously disoriented it is so bad. I had a hard time finding the basket!!

Hole 14, Moose Knuckle, pretty bad the entire length...getting worse as you move closer to the basket.

Hole 15 is really bad.

Hole 16 is really bad, actually as are 17 and 18.

The bright spot to me is 90% of the debris is smaller, the downside is it is everywhere . There aren't that many huge trees down, just a lot of stuff the size of your wrist maybe.

I think the key is having a set plan on what to do with the debris. I like the idea of cutting firewood. I also think a chipper would do wonders, mulch is better than what is there now.

Or making areas where we can throw this stuff that is out of the way.

It is going to take work but I think it is pretty doable. I bet after 2 or 3 solid weekends we will be surprised at our progress...

Plans are being laid out so that Mohawk can be brought back better than it was before.

It will take some time, lots of organization and some cooperation from the city. I would suspect that there will be many work days to choose from in the near future. I wouldn't expect a huge crew all the time, we just need to have people work when they can.

I guess I should have asked Santa for a chainsaw this year, looks like I'm going to need one.

The upside is we should have LOTS and LOTS of free fire wood available to our club members.

All forms of power tools will be needed.

I did a little research last night on self powered chippers..

Does anyone know about these, any access???

A chipper would help a ton...

Some of those can handle up to a 6" log..... (Save your comments FurDog) :cool:

rent one for the week/weekend

Also Time to see if any business might consider
some sort of donation of $$$'s or Equipment,
If not a discount on the equipment rental...
Since we are a non-profit,
Can we issue them a receipt for their donation.
Dave... Anyone...
D.P. :D

No.
The club is not non-profit. They are a not for profit corporation. We do not have non-profit status for tax free donations.

regardless, we will get it done. ;)

Did not know that. :(
Thanks for the clarification.
D.P. :D

New schedule has slots in January for work times on Black Hawk!
Get your schedules on line this weekend or better yet get a copy at the Lodge on Saturday, or Riverside on Sunday!

Speaking of Blackhawk clean-ups and the Lodge Jim has offered his services with the track hoe if the parks department will allow it.

buzz buzz zooc ????

We need equipment not one of your old girl friends. :p

We need equipment not one of your old girl friends. :p


awesome :eek:

but as far as clean up goes
i am willing to come out when ever the club is ready to cut up haul off what ever needs to happen
and i think
we should take the wood that can be used for benches
the right saw would cut it up
so keep us posted i know we can clean up this mess it is just going to take all of us working are ace's off
o and renting a wood chipper is really something we should do!

We can be reasonably sure, that if the wood is dragged to a spot where the parks people can find it, that they will use their wood chipper free of charge and save us that expense.
ALL work will have to be coordinated with the relevant park authority before we can proceed.
That means that we will have to keep in contact with the City, County and Public works departments relevant to what ever park we are helping with.
Be patient please, you all know that it will take a little while for the wheels of city and county government to grind around. The last thing we need to do is upset our relationship with anybody we have a course in common with.

All TDs need to be in touch with their contact person and then report what, when and where so we can coordinate efforts in a positive manner.

I agree Martin but for anyone wanting to work on a hole or two at BlackHawk it will be fine. As long as they have nothing bigger than a chainsaw its okay. ;)

true dat

Yo Zook!
Keep us posted on what you have in your parks please.
Any updates you can submit will help us plan.

true dat



was that a true dat
for the martin post?

or the wise post?
or both
like i said i will be at mohawk sat.
as long as that is coool
slack

Be patient please, you all know that it will take a little while for the wheels of city and county government to grind around. The last thing we need to do is upset our relationship with anybody we have a course in common with

please please please
do not wait on the city to start this clean up mess
you can see around town that this will take the city forever to take care of
the city is still trying to firgure out ohow to make money out of all this disaster not clean up, restore power, direct traffic ....

tdsa is a good club lets get organized and start taking care of it soon! because it could take months

Mohawk will be fine.

I have talked to Zooc and we are okay out there for working on cleaning it up. ;)

true dat,, twoputt :D

true dat,, twoputt :D



thank you :cool:

i now have a contact with a bucket truck and a grappling loader .
these two gentlemen are from verginia here to help with tree care and clean up.they are very fair priced and are insured and bonded. they are certified arborists as well. if anyone has a need for these services or knows anybody or companies that need these servises please call me. 694-7280
no job is to small or to large for them.

I was driving thru Dovillio yesterday am to survey the damage and I saw an end loader scooting limbs around on the fairway of hole 3 and a big dump truck driving around. Hopefully they made some progress in the park through the day.

I've cleared a few more holes off at Hunter, and it is in reasonably good shape now. The rough is a little bit rougher now with the piles of limbs that I dragged to the side. A friend with a chainsaw helped me on hole 8, but it still needs some professional-type equipment to clear it completely.

I spent a little over an hour on hole 15 at Hunter on Saturday after I finished my morning round of golf, and during that time about a dozen casual weekend golfers played thru. The soft-wooded elm tree right in front of the basket was stripped of about 60% of its limbs, and after cutting them down to dragging size I had a huge plile of limbs to drag off. Some of them offered their thanks, belched, and dropped a beer can on the fairway, but no one offered a hand to drag a limb or two aside. :confused:

I hate to hear that Jim but unfortunately that is not uncommon.

I have see it happen WAY TOOOooooo much!.

Thanks for your efforts, they ARE appreciated. :D

Jim , I really appreciate you with your continued cleaning of Hunter park and all other disc golf parks around tulsa. once my arm is fixed then I will be getting out and doing more

Thanks again

I will be out at blackhawk Saturday morning with my chainsaw to try and put a dent in the wreckage. Anyone who wants to help can meet me there around 10:00.

Cool, I believe there is a scheduled work day from 10:00 to 1:00 then we are having a mini at Riverside starting at 2:00..

The TDSA message board is HOPPING today...cmon guys get back to work.

hey local disc golfers! i have a great contact for some hired help on the courses.these guys have the right equipment to do this work safly and quickly and there rates are very reasonable. they are currently storing therir heavy equipment at my place.
id like to put this to a vote of the board memmbers.

Who are these guys?....."The Travelers?".... ;)

There might be some legal implications with the city if you bring in a private group that is getting paid to work on city land. Non-paid volunteers is one thing but it sounds like you're trying to bring in a private company for hire to have them work on city land without the approval of the city.

I don't see a problem with the club renting some equipment for a weekend or two to help us do it quicker but hiring a company to do it for us sounds expensive and the club would be responsible to the city for what they do with or without the city's approval. :(

Whether we get what we pay for would probably vary from one opinion to another also.

Anybody can show up and give an estimate but whether they show up and follow through is another thing.

rates are 150.00/hr for two arborist with a boom truck and a grappler capable of lifting 4 tons. i have no idea what rental cost are. when these men labor they are skilled and safe.they have 10 chain saws so that they dont have down time billed to customer. we spent months and money to install these courses the parks department is overwelmed with thier work load i doubt there would be any complaints about the club hiring able bodied assistance.

Well then, the Taylor's saved us $150.00 per hour today.

Those guys are awesome as were Randy Wilson and Wagle, our heavy machine operators..

Thanks again.....

It was awesome...big machines = big results...

i agree the taylors have truly blessed this club. it is not cheap to run that equipment mutch less bring it al the way hear and then have a flat tire in addition. thank you mr and mrs taylor and all the people who labored. sorry i couldnt make it in the morning. maybe today i can make it out there , ive got a couple of projects today and dont know when ill complete them.

:D WOW... Jim and crew (family, co-workers), are really awsome. I went out to "look" on Sat. for the first time since the ice hit. I was sadened, then Amazed.. amazed that our club, with the Taylors had done so much in so little time, and this has saved us hundreds of hours... I dont know when our crew will get out there, but we will... I am also glad we have been blessed that noone has been seriously injured. (Moose) wildlife doesnt count. :DReally , just look up and around you while you all are working out there or anywhere there is or has been a tree.

Hey Zook. I didn't know until this weekend that you were a licensed Arborist. Does that mean you "arbor" city park employee's by giving them a place to hide when there is work to be done? :o:D

I thought I would submit an update to the course work being done.

I drove by Mack Taylor last Thursday and it looks better. The park entrances were blocked. There are huge piles of mulch here and there. This one is close to playable.

I drove by Dovillio today and the clean-up crew was on site. I spoke to one of the workers and he said they should be through today. I question that but they are close. All of the debris has been piled into the drainage ditches next tot he road. The city contractor is to pick up the debris..

On a side note, I heard they are opening Chandler for a disposal site. I am not sure when it will be open but hopefully the course will be open then as well. I have heard mid-February as the target date but with demand for a new disposal site maybe they will re-open sooner...

u da man, mike!

Chandler wasn't in too bad of shape, I got to play there yesterday.

No way, did you use the back door????

FurDog said I could always use ....uh....the back door. :o:D Slipped right in too, no problems. It did look like there had been several through there before me though. I saw some muddy tracks, so I can only assume he invites others to use the back entrance also. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

he may have let Evan up there Friday night before the ice bowl, he seemed pretty happy Saturday. :D

at least I don't take pictures of FurDog's Butt :p

and all of ya'll think that the Fur part comes from the facial hair :o

Don't be that Way Evan, don't make me show them all where the email came from. :D

well the url states http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/ <font color="red">Twoputt</font> /_1266082.jpg

your album at photobucket also comes up as private, wonder how many disc golfer butt pix you have in it :o:D

Well if you're geek enough to find that then even you know I can't post a pic that has been emailed to me until it is up loaded through another site. Right?

I only saw him twice all day, I think you played the 1st&amp; 2nd rounds with him and went home with him at lunch. By the way did he show you the kitchen?

Thanks for the email. :D

All that I noticed in the kitchen was grafitti on the wall that said "TwoPutt was here", I've heard that the grafitti in your Kitchen says "Everyone was here" :D

the only email that I know about is the ones that keep winding up in my spam folder......come visit twoputtdiscgolfbutt.com, only 99 cents per minute :D

That site has a bunch of pics of backwoodsy type people in it. You know the type. :oAnd you are obviously quite aware of the pricing and benefits so come back often and keep sending those referrels. You're almost up to 30 free miutes, keep it up and YOU too could be one of our top customers. :D

By the way you're almost 30 days past due on the December balance of $1,492.50, please remit that as soon as possible.
;)

Thank you


Spam folder, thats a funny name. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

uhh FurDog, when do I get my half of Dave's money from throwing that round away.........you said all I have to do is lose 1 round to you and I'd get $12.50...........I've got some bills to pay up

apparently that credit card I loaned TwoPutt got over ran on some web site :eek:
