We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Finally, a long term solution so that my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandkids can see my baby pictures, listen to my Fallout Boy CDs, and watch my disturbing pr0n collection. I'll order a dozen!

That makes me a sad panda.
It won't get that far because it will require an app for some proprietary long-dead OS first. Apps are the future ya know!
You you just virtualize an OS that virtualizes an OS that virtualizes an OS and so on and so forth. Eventually, I'm sure you'll get there.
Isn't nostalgia wonderful?

Society will just label them as a dangerous schizophrenic [wikipedia.org].
You win link of the week. That was awesome. Someone needs to publish a collection that guy's stories.
It's just Fallout Boy, no big loss. However, my Lisa Ann video collection needs to be preserved for all eternity.
It's only 40MB each. You might need to leave out the baby pictures and Fallout Boy CDs.
Dear Hitachi,
please record the video "Never Gonna Give You Up", so that all future generations are able to get rick-rolled. And label the disc "soft porn" to ensure they'll work at decoding the data.
It's all very well having something that can be read "with an optical microscope and appropriate software", but if the planned life is in the millions of years, then you have to hope that the science of optics hasn't been lost. And as for software, that will be hard to read far, far sooner (see the Domesday Project as an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Domesday_Project [wikipedia.org])
The solution is obvious: put the software, along with the datasheets of the ICs and schematics of the hardware for building the required computer on a quartz glass disc.
This is easily accomplished.
Break the library cache into several sections.
In the first section, make a single literary work, in every world language. (We wouldn't be able to read ancient egyptian without the rossetta stone.) Do this using the "image in crystal" colimated laser etching technique. (See for instance, this image of the eifel tower. [cncestablishment.com]) do this with a
Thousand years from now, someone looking at computer data storage devices might be completely oblivious to what they were meant for.
"Ah, those crazy ancient people, obsessed with making ornamental plastic/metal boxes!"
I would say from an archeological perspective, any digital archive that requires a computer to read is a big no-no. Stone tablets are good, as even in the worst dark ages people will understand their purpose (even if they can't decipher the text). However stone tablets are limited in data dens
Thousand years from now, someone looking at computer data storage devices might be completely oblivious to what they were meant for.
"Ah, those crazy ancient people, obsessed with making ornamental plastic/metal boxes!"
Kinda makes you wonder about our own civilization's archaeological endeavors, doesn't it? How many odd looking "stones" have been discarded whilst in pursuit of other, more museum-desired items like clay pots and gold jewelry?
I propose writing on titanium or aluminum sheets. Most of the writing would be in tiny microscopic font to get some decent data density -- like microfilm of the 80's, but with better long-term durability.
On the first page we could put normal-size writing as sort of a primer. Then the text would get progressively smaller until it's microfilm-sized, so the reader would get the point that the rest of the tablet is in tiny letters. We could put a diagram explaining the properties of a magnifying glass, and how to make one.
A bit like the plans for the Rosetta Project: http://rosettaproject.org/disk/concept/ [rosettaproject.org]
The text begins at eye-readable scale and spirals down to nano-scale.
if we put them on metal someone will come along and melt them down and make a cooking pot or frying pan out of them. never under estimate the the ability of anyone to not give a crap about history and knowledge. what you need is a Indiana Jones like temple/datacenter/library that will kill anyone not very determined to get at what the ancients left behind built in a geographically stable area that will anything sort of a direct extinction level meteor strike. fill it with books to teach them basic english a
I'd come up with some way of hinting at and explaining the encoding. Here's an idea:
The surface starts with a visible circle, 1 mm in diameter. The next circle is a bit smaller. The next is smaller still, and so on until the size of the bit is reached. This would draw somebody examining the device to trying to see where this detail ends.
Next to this there's a visible, etched ASCII table, with the binary representation for each letter, and an example text that's unlikely to be lost to time, with its binary v
And, as an archeologist, I'd just throw that into a junkpile with the modern version of 'tl;dr'.
Are you sure you're a real archeologist?
Any interesting artifact these days is obsessed over to an incredible degree. It gets x-rayed, carbon dated, chemically analyzed, stuck in a MRI machine, looked at with a microscope, and the debates about the conclusions that can be drawn from those things last for decades.
Maybe sheer quantity will take care of providing a "Rosetta Stone" for the future. If only a single product label survives, then our descendants will have a record of about a dozen major languages instantiated in texts with identical meaning, and a fairly clear understanding of our major obsessions and legal system in the bargain.
The problem with long term data archival isn't just the storage medium -- it's being able to recreate the reader mechanism from scratch. Tomorrow world war 3 happens. We're bombed back to the stone age. Thousands of years from now, humanity has returned to the level it is today, but with no knowledge or intact examples of previous technology. How do you explain how to build something, when the language, the words, and the understanding of physics and technology are all different (and possibly wrong or incomplete)?
We've been trying for a long time to come up with a universal language; Partly in case we ever contact E.T., but also because of the problem of language fragmentation. Human language tends to diverge, not converge. How do you manage to tell someone how to construct a complex device from scratch, without any linguistic foundation and scientific understanding to build from?
Civilization in a bottle: Not as easy as it sounds.
The problem with long term data archival isn't just the storage medium -- it's being able to recreate the reader mechanism from scratch.
These are two different problems. One is how to archive things assuming the future will be technologically proficient, another is how to archive things assuming it won't. This technology is clearly geared towards the former. In a technologically proficient future, historians will certainly love having full access to the tons of small details and day-to-day stuff that can be made available for them with this, things we wouldn't dream even trying to archive in something geared towards a technologically backwa
Duh, they just store it in the crystal as a README.
They saved the file in UTF-16. Also, in the future, the use of English is illegal. Historians believe that a catacalysmic nuclear event several thousand years ago was what caused the Great Warming. Records show a language known as "english" was prevalent in the worst-affected areas. It was retroactively banned by the 320th High Pope of the New New Pastarastafarian church. It's believed the language itself was what caused the problem. Your argument is invalid.
Aw, the Pope's Tits they'll outlaw Engrish. If they do, it'll become the cool underground language spooky books are written in.
Civilization in a bottle: Not as easy as it sounds.
I don't know about bottles, but Sid Meier can put Civilization on a plastic disc.

Cuneiform and clay tablets!
Despite numerous cataclysms in the past, most languages remained intact. The Rosetta Stone is basically the way forward, a translation key with all languages represented, as at least ONE modern language is sure to be comprehensible in the very distant, post-apocalyptic future.
And it's an easier problem today than ever... We can print innumerable color pictures, labeled with the appropriate words. That wasn't so easy when craftsman were hand-carving stone tablets.

Sounds like every 16 language foldout instruction sheet for various little electronic gizmos.
We're saved.
I am Sparticus and my collection is amazing.
This problem is overblown for hyper-long term storage. It wouldn't be too hard for someone to reverse-engineer the x86 instruction set if they really wanted to. (server-based DRM is a bigger problem, but they may be able to crack things like AES-128 in the far future)
100 million years, right?
' That means I can use this to store my music collection until I finally have time to categorize and playlist it.
I hope there is a human-readable "Rosetta Stone" to convert binary information to human-readable information. Better yet, record as much as possible in human-readable form to start with.
Heck, for pictures, dispense with the binary and store them as psuedo-analog, color-separated red, blue, and green "black and white images" with "pixels" of various sizes using artificial halftones. Next to the "red" picture, put a label indicating that this is "red" or a specific reddish wavelength of light. Ditto green
"Archival" storage has much more use for the 100-1000 time frame than for the million-year-plus time frame.
For time frames of less than 1000 years and assuming no major disruption like a nuclear war, we can assume that people will know what binary code is, what the English language is, have bodies that have eyes and ears that respond to light and sound much the way ours do now, etc. This makes deciding how to store information much, much easier.
Try storing the Declaration of Independence, the Koran, or Hom
The kinds of messages that will last 1,000,000 years will be things like "we built cities," "we traveled in space," "we lived in an era with rapid climate change," "we used fire, tools, and medicine," and the like.
The only deliberate messages that may last this long will be things like "DANGER! TO PROCEED IS TO DIE!" near our nuclear waste dumps. Or maybe we won't be leaving these messages after all [slashdot.org].
Infoworld had an article on this [infoworld.com] in which the reporter wrote: It was unclear whether the optical microscopes needed to read the storage medium will still be available in the year 100002012.
Still, I hear that Hitachi is offering 10x your money back if the data is unreadable 100 million years from now.
The Rosetta Disk fits in the palm of your hand, yet it contains over 13,000 pages of information on over 1,500 human languages. The pages are microscopically etched and then electroformed in solid nickel, a process that raises the text very slightly - about 100 nanometers - off of the surface of the disk. Each page is only 400 microns across - about the width of 5 human hairs - and can be read through a microscope at 650X as clearly as you would from print in a book. Individual pages are visible at a much lower magnification of 100X. The outer ring of text reads "Languages of the World" in eight major world languages.
Link [rosettaproject.org]
Yes, and you can have one for the low low price of $10,000. Which is nice and all, and if I had stupid money, I'd buy one, but come on.
Ok, Hitachi will probably sell quartz data writers for that, to start with, and possibly they won't ever get much cheaper, but then again, they might. I can see there being a market for that sort of thing.
And yes, I understand digital data and the Rosetta Disk printed in standard human scripts are two rather different things, but consider this: if quartz disks are anything
Yes. Yes I do. In fact, I think a $5000 charity dinner is far worse than the Rosetta Disk donation. Like I said, I'd cough up $10k if money was no object to me. But I wouldn't pay a nickel for a charity dinner. If I'm going to donate to charity, I'm going to donate to goddamn charity. Don't make me put on a monkey suit and sit around all evening in an uncomfortable chair listening to a bunch of self-satisfied pricks tell me how wonderful they are (oh, and me too, of course).
I worked for a small non-profit organization, years ago, and I can tell you from personal insider experience that charity dinners range from "barely worth the effort" to "financially successful, but an unspoken embarrassment to all involved".
Some of these charity dinners involved Old Money from big names, and when the rich get excited about throwing a charity dinner, said charity will bend itself silly to meet their expectations.
I'm thinking of an Old West theme dinner, which involved wagon wheels, rusty m
They mention is has the storage capacity of "about a music CD".
I would love some kind of archival medium I could trust for 1000 years. Then I could really back up something in a form I knew would last "forever" and keep it offsite without ever having to refresh it.
But I have way too much data to make using something with the capacity of a normal CD practical for use in this way.
So I still wait for a technology to come that can really store a lot of data for a long time... I agree with all the people bring
Great, now I have to buy my music all over again.
And how long does it take to write data? Can we assume the laser required to deform quartz glass requires more power than a typical household even has available? Or is there some specific frequency that glassine quartz is peculiarly susceptible to? There isn't a lot of data I can think of that I'd like to have available from a single piece of media for the rest of my life (and the life of my species), but there is some.
One hopes there will be more details on the 30th, as one of the articles mentions.
To be honest, if you wanted to make a "home brew" version of this (which wouldn't matter so long as you used a readable medium and data structure), then one of those kits that engraves 3D images into blocks of plastic would work just as well.
I don't know how expensive they are, but they're not prohibitive, run from common power supplies, engrave on cheap plastic (whose internal structure is unlikely to decompose much in 10,000 years), and customisable (i.e. you can get them to engrave any image, so it's jus
Fascinating. It didn't even occur to me that the machine to do what they're talking about has been around for years. It's an off-the-shelf device, made in China. A random sample Google finds runs at 1.5KW with 800 DPI resolution (focus accuracy of 0.02nm) and position accuracy of 10 micrometers. And it can write to crystal, glass, hard plastic, acrylic, and even do surface etching on metals. Possibly for as little as $3000 for the machine, though it's hard to tell with these Chinese sites.

Boxer Manny Pacquiao cancels September bout with Juan Manuel Marquez – will no longer fight in America thanks to Obama-Democrats taxes
So now Las Vegas will lose a ton of revenue and tourism due to Boxer Manny Pacquiao deciding not to fight Juan Manuel Marquez in September at the MGM. Why? Because Manny Pacquiao doesn't want to pay the higher taxes that Obama and the Democrats got on New Year's Day. From now on, Pacquiao will only fight outside of the this country, thanks to high taxes. Leftists will probably whine about how much Pacquiao is worth, and makes per fight, but lets look at it's real impact.
With no fight and the MGM in September, the city of Las Vegas and State of Nevada will lose out on a ton of revenue from the lack of fight hype. Any fight that Manny Pacquiao does have in the future will be outside this country, and Vegas. This means less dollars flowing into the economy for the poor and middle class. I hope you leftists are proud of yourselves.

Boxer Manny Pacquiao has shocked the sports with the announcement that he will no longer fight in Las Vegas — or any U.S. city, for that matter — because federal taxes have become too burdensome.
Obviously, this means he won't be fighting Juan Manuel Marquez in September at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as originally planned.

Nearly One Third of Children in Study Had Correctable Refractive Errors
As kids head back to school or start kindergarten, it's the perfect time to make sure they have the best possible vision. A study of more than 10,000 preschoolers gives parents information on vision risks based on ethnicity and other factors and underscores the importance of early vision screenings.
Nearly a third of the preschoolers in the study had refractive errors, slight irregularities in eye shape that affect how well images can focus on the retina. About 4 percent were nearsighted, 21 percent were farsighted and 10 percent had astigmatism. All three of these refractive errors cause blurry vision. African-American kids were more likely to be nearsighted but less likely to be farsighted than Hispanic and non-Hispanic white children. Astigmatism was most likely among Hispanic children followed by African-Americans, and least likely in non-Hispanic white kids.
Also, about 5 percent of the children had amblyopia, known as "lazy eye," and about 2 percent had strabismus, a misalignment condition commonly called "wandering eye."
The study found that even when kids' refractive errors were mild, they were at higher risk of amblyopia and strabismus. These two conditions can occur separately or together, and need to be corrected as early in life as possible, ideally before kindergarten. If not treated, they can result in permanent, lifelong vision loss that can limit job options and enjoyment of life. For instance, either of these disorders can lead to loss of depth perception.
Strabismus is easier for a parent to spot, because one of the child's eyes may turn inward or outward, some or all of the time. In amblyopia, one eye is stronger than the other due to strabismus or other causes, but since the child may appear perfectly normal it can be hard for a parent to detect a problem. This is why preschoolers need to have vision screening by trained health professionals at their doctor's office, clinic or school.
Treatment for amblyopia is often as simple as "patching" the stronger eye for part of the day so that the weaker eye has to work harder, which helps it develop normally. Eyeglasses may be needed if the child also has a refractive error. Strabismus treatment sometimes involves surgery.

It has been a great week for Lil Wayne, as his new album Tha Carter IV has shattered the record for iTunes downloads.
She's always a sight to see, and Nicki Minaj added her colorful ways to Lil Wayne's record release party of "Tha Carter IV" on Sunday (August 28).
The "Your Love" songstress sported a bright pink ensemble as she posed for pictures on the red carpet before heading inside Boulevard3 for the post-VMA shindig.
He's always up for a good time, and last night (August 28) Lil Wayne was on fire at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
The "Mrs. Officer" rapper took the Nokia Theatre stage and sang an auto-tune heavy version of his hit "How to Love."
With another year's show come and gone, the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards offered up plenty of action while honoring the best in the music business.
He's known for his deep messages and thought out lyrics, but Lil Wayne has outdone himself with his latest video, "How to Love."
The visual offering, which was directed by Chris Robinson, is full of drama and social commentary while telling the story of a pretty young lady who has a life of ups and downs.
Topping off his highly-anticipated performance at the VMAs, Lil Wayne has announced that the release of his new album, "Tha Carter IV," is set for midnight on August 29.
Elated about the timing, the "How to Love" rapper told press, "I am extremely excited to be the first artist to utilize such an amazing idea. I hope that I can open the door for others."
He's always up for a challenge, but it seems Lil Wayne ended up sustaining a nasty injury after showing off at a skatepark in St. Louis.
The "Mrs. Officer" rapper was rushed to the hospital after crashing his skateboard and cutting his forehead on a fixture at the park.
He's on top of his game, as usual, and Lil Wayne can't wait to win some hardware at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
The "Mrs. Officer" rapper is up for two trophies, and he put together a promotional commercial for the VMAs, including music from everyone from Nirvana to Tupac.

Zachary Rodgers | November 9, 2007 | Comments
Tacoda founder will court Madison Avenue and pursue global partnerships.
AOL has named Dave Morgan, who joined the company through the September acquisition of Tacoda, to a global advisory and communications role. As EVP of global advertising strategy at Time Warner's morphing portal and ad network unit, Morgan's duties include courting Madison Avenue, building partnerships in the U.S. and abroad, and making sure AOL's internal divisions support the company's core display ad business.
"AOL does not have a search business," he told ClickZ today. "The display ad business is our present and future. We need to move from reacting to it to leading it... There's no reason why, as everyone else tries to build the display business, we can't own the display business going forward."
Accomplishing that task will mean striking further partnerships in the U.S. and overseas, including perhaps other acquisitions. The company has been among the most acquisitive Web giants, especially when it comes to ad networks. The company's numerous network acquisitions include mobile ad seller Third Screen Media and, most recently, Quigo.
The road to complete reliance on display advertising continues to be a rocky one, however. During AOL's earnings call this week, executives said weakening demand in the display market had put downward pressure on ad revenues.
"We now expect advertising growth in the fourth quarter to grow at a lower rate than we experienced in the third quarter," CFO Wayne Pace told investors. Compared with AOL's own sites, third-party sales through its Platform A network business are relatively healthy, growing 21 percent year over year.
Ironically, large ad networks such as AOL's own Advertising.com and those run by Google, ValueClick and Specific Media are contributing to the weakness, as they make large amounts of inventory available to advertisers at low cost.
"[Network growth] has softened what was the CPM display business," said Morgan, who insisted the market will grow enormously in the future. He suggested that growth will be driven in part by a resurgence of creative thinking and planning as values.
"You need to have people creating ads. You can't have machines doing it all," he said. "The human aspects of advertising online are things we can do well with."
Morgan won't hold the reins of the horse he rode in on. Tacoda now resides within AOL's Platform A division, which also houses LightningCast, Advertising.com and Third Screen Media. Eventually it will also absorb Quigo. That division is now led by Curt Viebranz, who took over as Tacoda's CEO in 2006 when Morgan gave up operational oversight of the firm. Both Viebranz and Morgan report to AOL President Ron Grant.
Morgan plans to build a small team, but will not have direct responsibility for any large groups or divisions within AOL. Rather he'll have the ear of executive management and focus much of his attention on would-be partners and ad clients.

My Dearest god Assad. Just found out that the Patriotic Syrians are not giving up! Can't blame me! I had been trying my best with the lies and propaganda to help you out but the educated and those with higher IQ's are not buying it! I certainly hope this will not reflect in my next paychecks from you! I find myself gum flappin' at the mouth with repeated nonsense because it's all I can think of!! Things like, "CLINTON, MCCAIN, THE WEST, ISRAEL, ZIONISTS, THE U.N., THE ARAB LEAQUE NEED TO STAY THE HELL OUT OF SYRIAN ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO PROOF IF THEY ARE THERE OR NOT! I JUST LIKE MAKING UP FILTHY LITTLE LIES! The Russians are putting it right up despicable Zionist's rear ends even though they have not been involved IN ANY OF YOUR MURDERING ESCAPADES! Russia has stopped the West in its tracks! I really don't know what tracks I'm talking about but what the hell? Russians are true friends to you my god! So are murderous dictators in Venezuela, China and Iran as well. Zionists are behind all of your murdering escapades and blaming it all on you, my god Assad! THAT'S AN OUTRAGE!! McCain, Hillary and the West have sent American forces into Syria without anyone but you and I knowing about it. Those Syrian Patriots have been defeated for the millionth time! Or is that 2 million times?? I forgot! The USA, the West, The U.N., the Arab League, Zionists, Jews, Christians, Israel and Joe Bag Of Donuts down the street are forcing you, my god Assad, to murder 30,000 your own people. That's despicable!! Please understand that I am hiding out in Connecticut (THE WEST) as your faithful servant and lying propagandist so that the Real Syrians Patriots who don't like a Murderous Dictator can't find me. Yours Forever and EVER AND EVER!!
Signed, THE SYRIAN ASSADOMITE!

Hey El Sicko!! What's the world going to do, not just Israel and Jews you clowns hate so much if Iran gives a nuke to terrorists scumbags dummy! And when those terrorists get a nuke from Iran and set it off in your hiding place in THE USA, SYRIAN ASSAADOMITE AND RAMBONEHEAD WILL BE will be flying up in burst of flames screaming "LONG LIVE PRESIDENT MAHMOUD AHMADINNERJACKET!! Iran is the only country since Nazi Germany that actually threatened to wipe out another country (Israel) FURHTERMORE, Stop trying to portray Iran to look like a peace loving nation DUMMY!! Do some thinking for a change clown!! Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has been one of the worlds most active sponsors of terrorism. Tehran has armed, trained, financed, inspired, organized, and otherwise supported dozens of violent groups over the years. Iran has backed not only groups in its Persian Gulf neighborhood, but also terrorists and radicals in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Bosnia, the Philippines, and elsewhere. This support remains strong even today as Iran is tied to an array of radical groups in Iraq. Iran has publically Threatened Preemptive Strikes Against Israel and United States!! To sit there and not think for one minute that Iran would not pass on nuclear technology to terrorists, you'd have to be brain dead!!
No one can guarantee this will not happen, not even you! So do we gamble like we did Hitler and Nazi Party and presume they want to live in peace or do we wait and hope we all don't wake up someday to find terrorists using nukes supplied to them by Iran! Many countries including Pakistan and Israel have had nukes for decades and have never threatened publically the destruction of another country. The Six Day War started with threats and movement of troops to all the borders surrounding Israel!! Should Israel have waited for her destruction. NO! And neither should any other country!!

Try it in their system and see how long you last moron!! Those little baby fingers won't be doing much more typing on that old worn out Radio Shack computer.

John 5:18 - "For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God."
His blood be upon us Matthew 27:25 and the Jewish People.
jews are called prophet killers by Christians and muslims alike for a reason
#99097 Nov 20, 2012
I posted credible links who you omitted . Typical Jew .
" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_appeara ...
"The race and appearance of Jesus have been discussed on a number of grounds since early Christianity, although the New Testament includes no description of the physical appearance of Jesus before his death and its narrative is generally indifferent to racial appearances"
Jesus was a Jew - another lie from Jewish media machine .
https://www.google.com/search ...
#99098 Nov 20, 2012
exactly ! Now the Jewish media (history channel ) is trying to feed us that jews were not responsible for the Jesus's death .
#99099 Nov 20, 2012
you're racist yet when some calls a Jew a "subhuman " as Germans did you get angry
#99100 Nov 20, 2012
you haven't proven anything .
#99101 Nov 20, 2012
The links beg to differ, putz.
#99102 Nov 20, 2012
nope , besides your link came from Jewish source . We all know jews are not to be trusted
#99103 Nov 20, 2012
no, I just laugh at the stupidity which you excel at.

row2k - How did you get your start in rowing and why did you decide to row for Virginia? Martie Kuzzy - I began rowing with the Minneapolis Rowing Club the summer before my sophomore year of high school. I used it as cross-training for Nordic skiing and running. After a successful season, and a lot of fun with the club, I was hooked!
As for Virginia, I had never heard of it until my first summer on the Junior National Team. A few of the girls at camp were headed there in the fall. I decided to take a last minute official visit during the fall signing week of my senior year and immediately fell in love. Everything about Virginia seemed perfect: the weather, architecture, southern hospitality, plus their rowing program wasn't too shabby, either. Once I had visited Virginia, the decision was easy. The night I got home, I signed the papers and I haven't regretted that decision since.
row2k - You've been on past Junior and U23 National Teams, what did you learn from those experiences that have made you the rower you are today? Martie Kuzzy - The experience that shaped me the most was my first summer on the Junior National Team. Going into camp, I did not have much rowing experience besides a few summer seasons and a qualifying 2k. It was a bit of a shock when the aches, pains, and blisters began. It was a long seven weeks leading up to Junior Worlds in Beijing, and much of that time was laced with doubt and wondering if I even liked this whole rowing thing.
The whole experience taught me to be mentally tough. Since that summer, I find myself making comparisons and thinking, "well if I could handle that, then I can definitely do this." It gave me a lot more confidence in my ability as an athlete and helped me realize that rowing can really take you places if you work at it. And sometimes if you stick with something, you may just turn out to win a World Championship.
row2k - You've had success at multiple levels of the sport, winning a Junior World Championship and NCAA Championship. What has been your most vivid memory to date and why? Martie Kuzzy - My favorite moment to date was rowing into the beach after our NCAA team title. It was really surreal having crossed the line and immediately knowing we had finally done it, but it didn't really hit until we rowed into an extremely enthusiastic crowd of teammates, coaches and family. It really put things into perspective. Just knowing how much the win meant to [UVA coaches] Kevin [Sauer], Steve [Pritzker], and all our staff who put in endless hours and years to achieve a championship title, is truly incredible. You work so hard to achieve something so personal, but in the end, it's only worth it if you have people to share it with.
row2k - Your brother was a 2010 Olympic cross country skier, how competitive were you two growing up? Martie Kuzzy - My brother, Garrott, has been my personal hero ever since I can remember. Considering he's eight years older AND a boy, there was never much competition, except if you count card games or cribbage--which luckily seems to stand in my favor.
Growing up, things were more competitive for my older sister, Laura, and me--who are only two years apart. However, the three of us create an awesome network for each other. We have different strengths and are really supportive in our own ways. At any given time, I feel I can have a mentor, confidant, or motivator. Ultimately, my parents have been really supportive in all of our endeavors and that has helped the three of us stick together.
So, when it comes to being competitive in sports, I'm pretty sure I can still take my bro in running, but when it comes to pretty much anything else, unfortunately I'm going to have to let him take the W.
row2k - What are your strengths as both a student and an athlete? Martie Kuzzy - I view attitude as my strength. Even though we dedicate what seems our entire lives to competing and studying, it's only fun and hopefully successful if you stay positive while you're doing it. Chances are you're going to be doing the work either way, so why not make the most of it and at least (at times…pretend to) have fun? It really can make the toughest of workouts just a little more manageable.
row2k - What do you like most about the sport of rowing? Martie Kuzzy - The people. Rowing is an incredible sport truly independent of all others. The camaraderie and teamwork, combined with an individual effort, creates something that is much greater than the sum of the parts. People in the rowing community are such a hard-working, passionate, and fun group—at the end of the day, that's what I love most about the sport of rowing.
row2k - What are you studying at Virginia and do you have any plans yet for after graduation? Martie Kuzzy - I'm graduating from UVA in May. At this point, my efforts have been focused on finishing out a strong final season with my team. Afterwards, I would still love to stay involved with rowing, either as an athlete or coach, but I don't have any specific plans yet. Ideally, I'd find something where I can share my knowledge and inspire the next generation of champions.

Yeah, took the flag, too.
I'm already surrounded by half-dead brainless people already, the zombie apocalypse would just give me a reason to be productive and get rid of them.
For the record, I wasn't rude or short with the CS woman as is being assumed. Firearms-related industries are renowned for going out of their way to satisfy their customers, so when I got the nasty from Taurus, I was holding the phone out in front of me, shocked. I've dealt with many gun-related companies on problems with guns, grips, mags, etc. I bought a Savage 110 package deal that sat on the shelf for over 4 years Box was lost along with the leather sling. Called Savage about a sling, they told me they no longer supply a LEATHER sling, but she would find one and send it immediately. I got it in 2 two days. Tha's what I'm used to from gun companies.
Lifes tough
its even tougher if youre stupid.

Jackrich, The girl on the other side of the phone is probably just a receptionist that is trying to screen the calls, she was probably taken back by you trying to pay for the parts because they usually just ship replacement parts.
Let me give you a tip, next time you call ask to speak with Christian, his the CS manager and I believe that you will be surprised in his professionalism and promptness in getting the parts you need, out to you.
You cut out the middle man (lady on other side of phone)when you deal directly with the man.
