Wolves + Vegas = 200K fine???????

Ok, I hardly think a non-official team trip to Vegas, pulled together by KG qualifies as a team practice. I'll bet Mr. Taylor (Owner) would be quite happy to pay the 200k fine if it helps the team gel and start building some chemistry. I bet KG would pay it himself too!

Now, I wonder if the team won enough money to cover the fine? :)

Here's the link...

FAQ about PGP messaging

This was an excellent bit of text PGP messaging.


What it is, what it's for, and why you'd use it
“Pretty Good Privacy” (PGP) is a scheme used to encrypt or sign messages. There are other schemes for the same thing, but this one is freely available for various different types of computer systems. It works by using secret and public key pairs, you pass out your public key and keep your secret key, and so does anyone else that you communicate with (they pass out their public keys, and keep their private keys). All the keys, in combination, are used to encrypt messages (your own private keys, and each other's public keys), and all of them are required to decrypt them (you send a message encrypted with your private key and their public key, and they decrypt it with your public key and their private key). This way, no outsider can decrypt the material (because they don't have anybody's private keys).

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Ernie!

I had heard that golfer Ernie Els had injured is knee on vacation, but did not hear that it was a ruptured Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) (http://www.ernieels.com/show_story.asp?ontheroad_id=205#current).

From the link above, it sounds like Ernie has already had surgery, and having had the same injury and surgery, my heart (and busted ACL) goes out to Ernie on this. Rupturing your ACL is a nasty, nasty thing. I wish Ernie the best of luck and a speedy recovery. Chills go up my spine (not in a good way mind you!) even thinking about rupturing an ACL.

Go get 'em Big Easy!

cheers
