Nursery Tray Growing Instructions
Specific Sprouting Instructions are found on the page devoted to the Seed or Mix you are interested in. Below are Tray specific Instructions.
When Growing, you MUST use Trays WITH drainage holes/slits! If you try to grow in an un-drainable container you'll have to tip it to let the excess water out. If you don't, you will drown your seeds!
You will find much more specific information on the seed information pages.
Seed Prep
Use something else - the drainage holes are just too big in these Trays!
You can not Soak in Trays. Use a bowl, or similar water holding unit.
Rinsing and Draining
When Pre-Sprouting or sprouting big seeds (those listed as Possible or Perfect for Trays, above) - Rinse each tray individually with a sprayer or faucet (if you are using a small Tray or have a lot of room under your faucet) and Drain well by holding the Tray at an angle until no more (or very little) water remains.
In either case - once Drained thoroughly, cover the Tray with another Tray to retain moisture. Sprout According to the directions on the seed's information page.
There isn't much difference in procedure, when growing on different mediums, but we spell them out where they exist. In the instructions that follow, we specify Baby Blanket and Vermiculite. We may have, or add new products in time, so here's the deal: If you are using a flat medium; follow the instructions labelled Baby Blanket. If you are using a "fluffy" medium (like Perlite, or some soil-like soilless mix); follow the Vermiculite instructions.
With Soil Fill Tray 2/3 - 3/4 full of soil. The amount of soil you use is up to you. The reality is this: As your plants grow they need more and more water. They get their water from the soil. The more soil you use - the more water it can hold = the less you need to water.
Thoroughly moisten the soil. Allow puddles to dry. Sometimes you may need to use your fingers to make sure the soil is moist all the way down to the bottom of the tray. Water, mix, water, mix, etc. Evenly and thoroughly moist is the goal.
With Baby Blanket Prepare the Pad Cut it to fit your Tray (if necessary). Soak it in water or better yet, Kelp Fertilizer enriched water, until thoroughly saturated (fold it up and push it into the liquid - use a pot or something similar to hold it). Spread the wet pad across the bottom of your Planting Tray. Proceed as with soil...
With Vermiculite There is very little difference when using Vermiculite instead of soil - except that you can use less of it. It can be thought of just like soil. Thoroughly moisten it by spraying it and/or soaking it. To soak Vermiculite: Nest your Growing Tray inside your Drip Tray. Fill your Growing Tray 1/4 - 3/4 full with Vermiculite. (Vermiculite holds water exceedingly well, so you can get by with much less of it. Having more of it in our Heavy Duty Planting Tray will cause less of it to fall through the holes in that tray. Work with it to determine what is best for you. I usually fill the Tray, 1/2 way.) Spray the Vermiculite. When starts to float you have more than enough water (you can stop sooner - and you will, as you gain experience). Let it sit for a couple minutes. Gently lift the Growing Tray out of the Drip Tray, while at very close proximity to your sink, or other water receptacle (if growing inside). Set the Tray in your sink. Empty the Drip Tray. Put the Growing Tray back into the Drip Tray. You may - as you empty the Drip Tray - use a strainer to capture any escaped Vermiculite, and return it to the Growing Tray, if you like.
For Everyone Spread seeds (sprouts if you pre-sprouted) evenly on top of thoroughly moistened medium.
Cover the planted tray with an inverted tray - to keep light out, and moisture in.
Note: Your covering tray should have holes or slits in it so that some air circulation exists.
See the seed information pages for complete details.
With Baby Blanket and Vermiculite The only differences here are these: Soilless mediums will benefit from Kelp Fertilizer as the mediums have no nutrients for the growing plants to draw upon. Secondly, when you plant on Baby Blanket you have to be even more gentle when watering, during the first few days, because it is easier for the seeds/sprouts to move around on this relatively smooth medium.. We water our Baby Blanket crops with a Spray Bottle (with Kelp Fertilizer enriched water). The Spray Bottle is the height of gentle, so it's perfect for watering flat mediums. Also; Baby Blanket will dry out more quickly than soil in most circumstances, so pay attention to it. Keep it moist.
For Everyone Water the seed gently for the first day or three, so as to not disturb the seeds. You want them to stay in place once planted on the medium, to allow the roots to bury themselves. When the roots are firmly in the medium, you water the medium every day or two. Your plants will take up their water from the medium. Keep the medium moist but not water logged. Your plants will need more water, more often, the bigger they get.
Alternate Watering Method You may want to experiment with our somewhat risky trick:
Use the Drip Tray to hold some water. The roots will actually sit in this, so don't go crazy - too much can drown your plants and/or lead to fungal or mold problems. Just leave as much water as the plants can drink in a day - and then add more the following day. The amount is dependent on the climate (humidity especially) you're growing in, so you'll have to learn this for yourself. We suggest that you start with 1 cup in the Drip Tray. Lift the Planting Tray to see how much is left after 4, 8 and 12 hours. If the Drip Tray is dry, add more water - if there is still water 24 hours later, then cut back the next time you add water. Pretty simple really, and not as risky as we make it sound - it is really a time saver and in our home, produces happy healthy plants. During your regular spraying some water will run through and collect in the Drip Tray. Be sure to account for this too when calculating how much to add to the Drip Tray.
Once again, we do recommend Kelp Fertilizer enriched water for soilless growers. Soil growers may use it too of course, but the soil does have some nutrients already, so it is not nearly as important for you. Just follow the instructions for diluting, on the Kelp Fertilizer bottle.
Sprouting, Greening and De-Hulling
Keep Trays covered until your Grass and/or Greens are about 1-2 inches tall - or they push the Cover Tray up (they really do that, it's awesome! How tall they are depends on how deep your medium is.
Remove the Cover Tray and locate your crop where they can get some light (according to the directions on that seed's information page). Since you are dealing with Trays you can get away with more light than when using enclosed sprouters. You can even use direct sunlight, but do pay attention, as the sun hastens drying and heats up the plants, so you might have to water more frequently. Experiment and see. We love Greening our plants outside in the sun! We cover them with screen or garden fabric (remay), or a thin white sheet - to keep 4-legged critters, insects and birds away. You do not need sunlight. You'll do fine with minimal light too, so don't feel like you have to push it.
The only Greens that retain hulls are Sunflower and Buckwheat. When they are ready to cut, we brush our hands over the tops gently, while holding the Tray at an angle (60-90° - as long as they are firmly in the Tray it's OK). Many hulls can be removed this way. You will have to pick the remaining hulls off by hand - we know of no other way.
All of these plants, regardless of what medium they are grown upon, are harvested by cutting just above that medium - with a scissors, or a very sharp knife. As with all crops, if you are going to refrigerate your crop, it should be not wet (wet plants will decompose in refrigeration much faster), so allow them to dry before refrigerating. We sell really great Produce Storage Bags, that actually extends shelf life of produce by allowing ethylene gas to escape. You don't need those if you're going to eat your crop in short order. Whatever you are happy storing your crops in is fine, and fine with us.
Regardless of what medium you planted on - you can not plant on it again. Growing mediums are NOT re-usable. Compost it!
If you grew on Baby Blanket, you need to be careful when removing it from the tray. Cut the roots that are growing out of the bottom first, then carefully pull it up from a corner. If you are too casual, you can break your tray, so take your time.
Though you can't re-use your medium - you may want to try growing a second crop. To do this; just keep the medium moist. Re-cover your Growing Tray until the plants grow an inch or two, and proceed as above. No subsequent crop will ever be as good as the first, but it doesn't hurt to try. See the seed's detail page for additional information.
Seed Specific Sprouting Instructions
If you have a particular seed type in mind, read on to discover further details of Tray sprouting that seed type. Refer to the seed's main information page for detailed instructions.
Grass and Greens
What is written above and what is on the seed information pages is all you need to know.
Maximum dry seed (Grass) = 2 pounds per 10x20 inch tray Maximum dry seed (Greens) = Varies. See Seed Information Pages
What is written above and what is on the seed information pages is all you need to know. Our Micro-Greens seed information pages (detail pages) have a whole lot of very specific information and instruction. Be sure to read them!
Maximum dry seed = Refer to the specific Micro-Greens seed information page
Follow the seed information page instructions for the bean you are growing.
Maximum dry seed = 2.5 pounds per 10x10 inch tray. If you want to use our 5x5 inch Tray use your maths skills. It has 25% the capacity of a 10x10 inch Tray.
Mung Bean
If you are going for small sweet Mungs you need only follow the directions on the Mung Bean information page. If you are going for big and thick, read on...
The 2 big issues with growing large, thick rooted Mungs is keeping them dark while growing and applying weight to the growing sprouts. Nursery Trays, though not deep, are dark inside and applying weight is easy. Whenever you try to grow big thick rooted Mung Bean sprouts, you need to keep them from moving: Don't disturb the sprouts - they need to be tightly packed, so after the first Rinse, apply weight directly to the sprouts by putting the bottom of another Tray directly on top of the beans. If you use a solid (drip) Tray as a cover, you can put anything in it, without fear of contaminating your Mungs. Bricks would work well! Come to think of it - regardless of the Tray you use to cover the beans - you should wrap your weights if they aren't really clean - you don't want brick bits or dirt or such as that in your sprouts! When you Rinse you need to do it gently the first few times. Soon they will be firmly massed together and you'll be able to turn up the pressure a bit. The only other issue is the soak period we suggest while growing Mungs. To accomplish this - insert your Tray full of Mungs in a solid (drip) Tray and gently fill with water. That isn't going to work as well as other methods, but it will help. Alternately you can submerge the bean Tray in a bathtub or some big container. You should to weight the beans down during this - so they don't float away.
Maximum dry seed per 10x10 inch tray = 2.5 pounds for small sprouts or 1.75 pounds for big, thick sprouts If you want to use our 5x5 inch Tray use your maths skills. It has 25% the capacity of a 10x10 inch Tray.
Follow the seed information page instructions for the Grain you are growing.
Maximum dry seed = 3.5 pounds per 10x10 inch tray. If you want to use our 5x5 inch Tray use your maths skills. It has 25% the capacity of a 10x10 inch Tray.
Nuts and Seeds
Follow the seed information page instructions for the nut or seed you are growing.
Maximum dry seed = 3 pounds per 10x10 inch tray. If you want to use our 5x5 inch Tray use your maths skills. It has 25% the capacity of a 10x10 inch Tray.
Leafy Sprouts
Though you can't use our current Nursery Trays to do this - you can use SproutMaster - which is a great way to familiarize yourself with the Tray method!
These will work fine in Trays - but, SproutMaster is the only Tray we currently sell that will do the trick.
These will work fine in Trays - but, SproutMaster is the only Tray we currently sell that will do the trick.
Please Note that all of our Tray pages have the same text below this point. We love when folks read our stuff, but we thought we should warn you....
Between 1993 - 2003, Sproutpeople produced over 200 tons of sprouts, plus tens of thousands of trays of both Grass and Greens, using Trays like these. Before I proceed, I have to warn you that our pages refer to these in various ways, due to my unwillingness to settle on one alone. When we were new to sprouting, we were told these were called Flats. If you buy plants at a Greenhouse or Nursery - and you buy them by the Tray - that is still commonly referred to as a Flat of plants. The other word that enters in is Nursery, because a Greenhouse is also known as a Plant Nursery - so sometimes I refer to these Trays as Flats, or Nursery Flats, or Nursery Trays. It's all the same thing; a Tray by any other name is still a Tray @:-)
There is little need for a home grower to grow such large amounts of Sprouts, that Trays would make sense - though we will someday be adding information here on our site - or in a book, which will detail methods of growing sprouts in these, and in buckets - for small wholesale and farmer's market growers.
For now, these Trays are not a good choice for sprouts because their drainage slits/holes are poorly laid out, in most cases. They are just swell for Grass and Micro-Greens though.
When growing in Trays, you also need a medium. We have grown Grass and Greens - on soil - in Trays, for many years. Now we have alternatives: Soilless Planting mediums - Baby Blanket and our favorite, Coconut Coir. We also have liquid Kelp Fertilizer, to help you and your crops, when growing without soil. Baby Blanket is a thin organic material that holds moisture quite well. It is excellent for Micro-Greens. Coconut Coiris is made from the outer shell of cocunts. It is a medium that has remarkable moisture retention, and provides nutients as plants grow. We mix in Earthworm Castings - 25% (by volume), to create an ideal medium for growing. We think you should try these mediums, to discover what you prefer working with. You should use Kelp Fertilizer too, if you grow soilless - it can make a whole lot of difference.
If you want to stick with soil: You can use any soil you like for most crops. We used sterile bagged composted cow manure for all of our Grass and Greens. It provided the extra nitrogen those plants like. We add even more nitrogen - mixing into our soil about 25% Earthworm Castings - when growing Sunflower Greens. You can use any sterile soil you like. Though expensive soils are fine, we prefer inexpensive. Whatever you choose - be sure it is free of chemicals!
Each 10x20 inch tray will grow 1-3 pounds of Greens or produce enough Grass to yield 10-20 ounces of Juice! Use your math skills if you are using a smaller Tray @:=)
For Sprouting Instructions, click the name of the Seed or Mix you want to grow.
These seeds are a Perfect match for Trays
Micro-Greens - If you want big crops; this is the way to go!
You can also Pre-Sprout all of the big seed Greens and all of the Grasses in Trays.
These are Possible in Trays
If you're sprouting big seeds, you can use Trays. You will need to use our 10x10 or 5x5 Trays - and you will have to pay some extra attention to Draining. You can also use our Tray-Sets which include those trays: 1/2-Crop Tray Set, 1-Crop Tray Set, 2-Crop Tray Set and 8-Crop Tray Set.
Beans - All
Mung Beans - Big and Little Sprouts are Possible.
Grains - The Big Ones Only.
Nuts and Seeds - Almonds, Pumpkins, Peanuts, Sunflower. Any big enough, not to fall through the drainage slits.
These are Impossible to grow with Trays
Until we get Trays with smaller drainage holes/slits, or find the time to tell you how to make them, we just can not advise you to sprout these seeds in these Trays. For now, stick with SproutMaster - or our simply marvelous Stainless Steel Sprouter for Tray growing.
Leafy Sprouts: Alfalfa, Clover and Mixes - When you grow these in a tray they grow vertically, roots down, leaves up! It is very beautiful! You will find instructions on our Leafy Sprout pages.
Brassicas - Broccoli, Radish, Mustard, Cabbage, etc. These are great in Trays as long as you remember to keep them from forming a mass. We look forward to sharing this too, someday.
Exotics - Garlic, Fenugreek, Onion, etc. Like the others - currently impossible.
PseudoGrains - These too will have to wait.
You CAN grow any of the Leafy or Brassica sprouts as Micro-Greens. Just follow the directions on a seed/mix detail page.
Nursery Tray Sets - Assembly
Our 1/2 Crop Tray Set is singular. Its footprint is only 10x10 inches! Now we can grow So Much More in our not-big kitchen! Use the 10x10 Drip Tray as a base to catch any water that escapes your 10x10 Growing Tray - and top your Growing Tray with another 10x10 Cover.
All of our other sets contain one 10x20 inch Drip Tray which is the Container for the tray(s) in which you plant. It keeps water +/or mud from messing up your home.
Single Crop Tray Set Planting is done in the Heavy Duty Tray with circular drainage holes. The Lighter weight Tray with drainage slits, is a 10x20 inch Cover Tray - to cover your planted tray.
Two Crop Tray Set Planting is done in two of the 10 Inch Square Trays. The other two are your Covering Trays.
Crop-a-Day/8 Crop Tray Set Planting is done in eight of the 5 Inch Square Trays. The other eight are your Covering Trays.
If you are growing indoors, you must use a solid Drip Tray as the base - it is just like keeping a plate under a houseplant. If you are growing outside you can safely skip the Drip Tray, though you should use one, if you are growing on Baby Blanket.
Cleaning: Scrub well between crops with soap and water. Rinse well!
Sterilize: Soak and scrub with a disinfectant as often as required. If your crop fails, it can be due to not having a sterile tray. Soap and water usually do the trick, but if not - use any disinfectant you are comfortable with. In our day, we used bleach water, but we dislike the toxicity of bleach, so we seldom use it, unless absolutely necessary. It is always true that; A clean sprouter produces the best crops.

Are you geek enough for Linux?
Though it first earned a reputation as a platform for hobbyists and hackers, Linux has come a long way since Linus Torvalds cobbled together the first kernel as a student project. A modern Linux desktop is a sophisticated, user-friendly GUI environment, with features and applications to rival any proprietary OS. In fact, when compared to the mainstream alternatives, there are lots of compelling reasons to give Linux a try:
It's free. Switching to open source software means the end of software license fees, not just for the operating system, but for the major applications that run on it, as well.
Switching to open source software means the end of software license fees, not just for the operating system, but for the major applications that run on it, as well.
It's secure. Linux is immune to the viruses, worms, adware, spyware, and Trojan horse programs that plague Windows.
It's compatible. Linux can take advantage of most of the media and file formats you use now, but open source software doesn't tie you to proprietary protocols and file formats. That means no more vendor lock-in.
It's lightweight. Linux offers plenty of cutting-edge capabilities for today's high-powered PCs. It can scale down to suit older hardware, too -- unlike Windows Vista.
It's well supported. Between an active user community and a variety of commercial support offerings, help is available for everyone, from novices to advanced users.
If you're willing to take the plunge, getting started with Linux is a matter of a few easy steps. Once you're done, you should have a fully operational desktop system suitable for learning, experimentation, or even for replacing your current PC for day-to-day computing needs. You can even keep Windows on the same machine, allowing you to switch back and forth between the two operating systems.

Wastewater rates are based on the actual cost to build, maintain and operate the Wastewater Management system, including treatment plants, pumping stations, sewer pipes, maintenance crews and billing systems. This adds up to about $80 million a year.
Rates are based on a formula that considers the quantity and quality of sewage to be treated based on each homeowner's and business owner's usage.
Homeowner wastewater rates are based on the amount of fresh water a household uses during the most recent four-month winter billing cycle, typically December through March, when water usage should be at its lowest. This eliminates any extra water used in summer gardening and yard maintenance, which doesn't end up in the wastewater treatment system.
New customers are charged based on average residential use. A typical single family home in Tacoma uses 600 cubic feet, or 6 ccf, of water each month during the winter months. Once a customer establishes a winter water usage history, their monthly rates will be adjusted accordingly.
Monthly rates for a single-family residence, effective January 1, 2020, are:
A single family home that uses 6 ccf of water in the winter pays $57.33 per month for wastewater fees in 2020.
Different types of businesses send different amounts and concentrations of wastewater through the system. That's why a restaurant will pay a different wastewater rate than a hospital.
Monthly wastewater rates in 2020 for commercial and industrial customers include:
For monitored customers, the flow charge is based on individual sampling results.
For unmonitored customers, the flow charge is set based on the specified strength for the user group you are in.
Category 1 - $7.02 per ccf
Photo Finish Laboratories
Taverns - no food preparation
Photo Studios
Car Washes
Lime Manufacturers
Category 2 - $7.31 per ccf
Hotels and Motels - no restaurant
Nursing Homes
Automotive Body, Paint, and Interior Repair
Drycleaning/Laundry Services
General Automotive Repair
Category 3 - $9.20 per ccf
Canned and Cured Fish
Linen Supply
Bowling Alleys - no restaurant
Fresh or Frozen Fish
Category 4 - $10.80 per ccf
Hotels and Motels with restaurant
Correctional Institutions
Category 5 - $10.98 per ccf
Industrial/Commercial Laundries
Retail Bakeries
Category 6 - $12.58 per ccf
Commercial Bakeries
Limited Service Restaurants (Category I)
Donut Shops with onsite baking
Category 7 - $14.22 per ccf
Grocery Stores - full service
Funeral Services with embalming
Category 8 - $14.70 per ccf
Full Service Restaurants (Category II)
Establishments with full service food preparation (Taverns, Bowling Alleys)
For questions or more information, please contact Billing and Technical Services at (253) 502-2100.
Some businesses (such as restaurants and taverns that prepare food) have the option of installing grease interceptors for a lower rate.
Other businesses wanting to reduce wastewater costs should focus on conserving the amount of fresh water used.
For information about commercial or industrial wastewater rates, please call Billing and Technical Services at (253) 502-2100.
Residents who qualify as low-income seniors or low-income disabled may be eligible for a rate reduction. If you think you might qualify, call Customer Solutions at (253) 502-8400 to find out how to apply. You'll find details on this and other bill-paying assistance on the Tacoma Public Utilities website.
If you believe your property has been damaged by a City sewer or storm drain backup, call our 24-hour spills hotline right away at (253) 502-2222. The law allows you three years to file a claim for damages, but we can't pay unless we can investigate and document the damage, so it's better to call sooner rather than later. City staff will come out to inspect the property, document any damage and let you know if the damage is eligible for a claim. City staff will then walk you through the claim filing process.
For all other claims involving injuries or vehicle or property damage, visit the City's Customer Service Center page or call (253) 591-5000.

My post of the day is actually a reply to one of the comments here in our blog, Do you say 'NO GOD'?
As it is quite long, I posted it separate.
Submitted on 2011/05/23 at 10:09 pm
"This is going to be a quick post. All the issues you have raised above have already been debunked by many others many times, so I will just be brief. You can get more information by typing in youtube and watching talks by Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens."
Thank you for your quick post. If your brief answer is one of the debunks..i will say 'IT REALLY DIDNT WORK'. Go ahead and read 🙂
"Question 1:
The universe began with the big bang. No one knows, and when I say 'no one', I mean NO ONE, knows what happened at and just before the moment of the big bang, but we have a good idea what happened straight after the big bang."
No we don't have! We don't know exactly which year big bang took place, we don't know exactly how old is this earth…we don't know how long this will last. WE DON'T KNOW!
All we do it assumptions and assumptions have no boundaries.
" Scientists are still working on finding answers, that's why we have the Large Hydro Collider. Experiments like these will help us understand the Universe as it was straight after the big bang."
Yep..thats what i am saying..we will keep on working..and that never ends.. some scientist will say something..and you believe in that. Few years later, another one will pop up and say, "That was wrong!". Experiments will give a result..bt again you have to 'just believe' that result is right 🙂
"I do not know if we'll ever find out what created the big bang, but like professor Atkins said, to say God did it when we get something we don't understand, is intellectually laziness."
Do you say there is an effect without a cause?
OK this universe was formed from big bang..some thing should have caused that big bang right? Even if you say…'x' reaction caused big bang.. some thing should have caused that 'x' reaction right?
And this will never end until you admit that THERE IS GOD..What we find is the steps which God made to create this universe. There is definitely a 'Causer' behind all these reactions.
All these amazing things..just came up like a 'boom' without any driving force behind it? Even a needle has a maker..what about this universe?
I say 'denying Him' is intellectual laziness..not affirming Him.. get a big picture.
Let's learn our universe and this will definitely affirm the existence of God, this will never deny Him. You see all those unbelievable reactions and yet you say they came up all by its own? This is intellectual laziness man.
Our intellect is limited, you cannot understand everything…each forward steps you take..u will know there are more and it's nothing wrong to say, "God did it" because you and I know, "THERE IS GOD"…even if you deny Him outwardly.
"Question 2:
We are the product of a billion years of evolution. It is evident in the fossil records and in our genes. The theory of evolution is a FACT, supported by overwhelming evidence. In fact, we rely on theory of evolution to develop vaccines for diseases and many other scientific applications. Monkey and us share a common ancestor. YouTube "Carl Sagan Evolution". Also read up on Richard Dawkins book "The Greatest Show on Earth" which explains the evidence for evolution."
Again monkeys!
Some said monkey is my mother and you say monkey is my brother?
You can believe monkey is your brother..but you can't believe you are a separate creation with intellect and free will? weird.
You have the greatest history but not that animal!
All celebrated Darwin's theory..and now they say, "it was without any proof". Again you celebrate some other theory, wait until few years to get the opposite result.
We are human beings, we always err and there is no 100% truth in any so-called theories.
"Question 3:
God exists in the supernatural realm. Most athiests, including myself, don't believe in the supernatural. So the 'time is god' logic is completely flawed."
Submission… human beings always submit to something, this is unevitable. We submit to the One who created us provides for us all day and those who deny Him submit to primitive things..it may be time, their own desires, science..anything..! And they put their trust in it.. I say that is their God.
Believing in God is not just enough, submitting to Him is more important.
We put our trust in God and you put your trust in Science.
Remember! Science never denies the existence of God rather it affirms Him..otherwise you won't be seeing a number of scientists embracing Islam. As you are an user of youtube, I don't think I should list their names 🙂
"Here you are describing Pascal's Wager, which states that you should just believe in a god, because if god doesn't exist, then you've lost nothing, but if god exists then you have everything to lose. This, in my opinion, is a horrible and vile reason to believe in anything as it plays on humans fear. Using fear to convince of something as being true."
Put it in this way, billions and billions of people believed in God and only a few lakhs, or crores or even say a million denied Him.. who is likely to be correct?
Those billions and billions or a few nuts? Give a second thought.. there is God.
"First, there have been 10,000+ gods in the history of men."
If you really 'studied' Islaam, you should have known that there is only one God all time. And there was only one God in the beginning of our history (if you believe Adam is the first man, he didn't worship 10,000+ Gods did he?). There were 10 generations between Adam and Noah where people worshipped the one and only God.
And again, if you have 'studied' Islaam, you would have known.. polytheism began during Prophet Noah's (alaihi salaam) time.
Wadd, Suwaa', Yaghooth, Ya'ooQ and Nasr these were the five righteous people of Noah's time. After their death people kept a stone in their meeting place for remembrance. None of that generation worshiped them..but the future generation was deceived by Shaitaan and they started worshiping it.
This is the beginning of idolatry and polytheism.
This is an age of Science and you need proofs for everything.. who knows people may even ask proof for their father 😦 but still at the end of the day 'its belief'. You are 'just believing' your proofs are right (until someone comes and say it is wrong.. and then u go in a confused state) and 'I believe' my scripture is right and no one can confuse me because it is not based on assumption!
My Scripture itself a miracle.. I am personally moved by it's literature. Lemme give u an example..
There are 10 forms of verb (may be there r many but I dont know). For example, if you say 'he does' in English, you can say the same thing in 10 different ways in Arabic and each has a different impact and a specific meaning.
When you take a verse and see a verb there…you will say 'wowwww' coz.. it will be in the most suitable form.. and it will have 'the most powerfull meaning'.
You could have used any of the 10 forms ..bt still it will be in the most correct form..and u cannot choose a better option than that.
If you wanna study Arabic go to Qur'an..and it has merely all rules and perfect lyrics..and subhaanallaah… NO MAN CAN BRING SUCHA BOOK!
All English translations we have is 'no justice' you know.. you just translate it generally..bt the arabic words are more specific and have more accurate meanings.
And I can never say 'an illiterate' man said all these things. EVEN A LANGUAGE SCHOLAR CAN NEVER BRING SUCHA BOOK!
"You are pretty screwed if you die, get to the gates of heaven, and it turns out Brahman is at the gates and you've been worhshipping the wrong god all along."
Hehehe..you made me laugh.. if you see what the vedas say..it says the same thing..worship the one and only God who has no beginning, no end, no parents, no children, no idols etc.. and even it talks about the kalki avatar.
You can call your God as Brahman..we Muslims have no trouble with it but worship Him in the way He said..in the way His Last Prophet did..thats what really matters!
You are worshipping the idols not the Brahman, worship the Brahman guys!
"Also, I'm pretty sure god will be able to see through you if you are just "acting" like you believe in him."
lol I'm pretty sure, you believe in the existence of God. Otherwise you wouldn't have made such statements. So it's actually: God will be able to see through if u 'act' like denying God. Because belief in God is ingrained in our soul. From the primitive tribes to famous scientists all believed in GOD!
We believe in God but we don't want to obey Him, so we deny Him. Thats the truth actually.
"No rational person can believe in something that is not reasonable to believe in; flying winged horses, virgins giving birth, men flying off into the sky. No sane person of reason can believe in such things."
But a sane person believes in the things which he sees in front of his eyes right? The things around you itself proves the existence of God. Nothing can be there without a Creator.
"We are a very curious and inquisitive species. We are always looking for answers and explainations. When mankind didn't have answers to the germ theory, or the planets and the stars, and why it rained, and why the Sun was bright and yellow and went from one side of the earth to the other side, we inserted God into the equation. God was the default "I don't know, but God did it" explaination to everything we didn't understand. Before germ theory, people thought god took revenge and killed people."
Again, even if I get those answers it only affirms my faith in God and not the other way round. How amazing these planets and stars are..then how amazing will be the One who created it?
If you deny God you deny the whole purpose of life you know?
What's your purpose of life actually? To eat, to sleep, to find out why it is raining, why sun is yellow?
You should do these researches to know the higher purpose of your life. And denying it is actually 'intellectual laziness'.
Even if u know all about sun..it is going to die oneday..it is going to be nothing one day… why do you care about it so much? Care about your soul because your soul is gonna be recreated and gonna be judged. The sun is not gonna be judged it's YOU!
If you say there is no judgement at all, then this clashes with every aspect of life.
Why do I need to be good if there gonna be no judgement? I shall go and steal.
Why is someone created blind and dumb and others so intelligent?
Why is someone poor and others rich?
You will not get the answers for these qs if you deny judgement.
You talked about 'moral' you know what.. no one will be morally good if they don't have a little fear that, if they do bad, they are gonna be punished. Even if they escape in this world they will taste it in the Hereafter.And the reality is THERE IS A JUDGEMENT DAY!
And to prepare for that is the highest purpose of life, NOT TO UNDERSTAND WHY EARTH IS REVOLVING!
These are all primitive things, you go besides these things and they are all going to be destroyed one day. All your efforts to understand them is null and void.
If understanding the 'Creations' help you remember your 'Creator' go ahead, otherwise you will get to know what you were doing all these days in a day WHERE NO SOUL CAN HELP OTHER 🙂
"At the very start, the most prominant thing in the sky was the Sun, thus the birth of the "Sun God", which explained to the primitive minds of humans why the sun went down and came back up again; God went away at night, and arose again during the day."
Sun was not the first worshiped thing, it was the 'One and Only real true God'. Who did Adam worship? sun or Allah?
You reminded me Prophet Abraham's (alaihi salaam) story.. He knew that stones can never be his God and saw the sun to be most powerful. But when there was no sun in night, he said, "this can't be my God!"
"When he saw the rising sun, he said, "This is my Lord for it is greater (than the others)." But when this too faded away, (Abraham) said, "My people, I disavow whatever you consider equal to God." [AlQur'aan Chapter 'The Cattles' 6:78]
Lets not worship the creation of Allah, lets worship Him alone.
"And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if you (really) worship Him." [AlQur'aan Chapter 'Explained in detail' 41:37]
" That say primitive way of understanding exists today, when even in the face of so much scientific reasoning and explaination, and so much evidence, people still try to explain the unknown by saying "God did it"."
I think I answered this, even if I get to know the unknown I will still say, "God did it" because He did it right!
Whatever we find is the steps of how God did it.. step 1 this step 2 this ..so on..but at the end 'God did it'.
As I said..we can never fully understand the way how God did everything. We take one step forward and will find there are many more to go.. we keep on running behind it and all of sudden everything will be destroyed including you and me!
And then we will be raised up and questioned! No injustice will be done to any soul 🙂
And then we may think..I should have planned how to spend my time, subhaanallaah.
"And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blazing Fire." [AlQur'aan Chapter 'The Dominion' 67:10]
Islaam doesn't say you should believe blindly. Listen and reason.. reasoning will never deny the presence of God, it only affirms it!
"And lastly, you don't need to scare people into believing in a god, it's a poor reason and not evidence that god exists."
What to do..sometimes 'truth is a bit scary'. We know it's gonna happen, instead of denying it 'No NO NOO' and getting destroyed when it actually happens..lets prepare ourselves and face the terror.. because IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
"I will leave with this quote from Epicurus, the greek philosopher from ~300BC:
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?""

After decades of fighting the image of being a 'fluffy' cost centre, the marketing function is finally escaping the long-held mis-perception of being all about 'creative' with an inability to prove measurable impact on the bottom line.
The growing importance of the Chief Marketing Officer, especially in business-to-consumer organisations, is the strongest indication yet of this continued professionalisation within the function.
A recent article in Marketing Week quoted a CMO in the airline industry as saying:
The success of my role is far more about analytics and technology than it is about hanging out with my ad agency, coming up with great creative campaigns. We must increase campaign ROI.
As a consequence, CMOs find themselves straddling an ever-broadening range of responsibilities, including coping with traditional and digital marketing campaigns, business strategy, technology and measurement, to name but a few.
Stemming the data deluge
Central to all of these tasks is collecting, managing, analysing and acting on data, whether it concerns the business operation or the organisation's customers.
Putting in place effective Marketing Information Systems has long been something of a holy grail for the marketing profession. With the current explosion in data, the quest for ways to stay on top of the data deluge – or 'Big Data' – has only intensified.
In addition to traditional forms of business data, organisations have to deal with a rapidly growing list of non-traditional data sources that all add to an already hard to manage data pool. Just think of the streams of customer information coming from social media, such as blogs, communities, Facebook, Foursquare, YouTube, Twitter and many others.
Furthermore, there is a steady stream of information emanating from radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, devices with global positioning systems (GPS), and bar code readers (i.e. QR Codes).
Making the most of this, often unstructured, data and turning it into information and customer insight is critical for CMOs to better understand, anticipate and meet the needs of their customers. At the opposite end of the spectrum awaits "analysis paralysis" as data floods in without the appropriate means of dealing with it.
Customer data management is not a job for IT
An organisation that is not in control of its data is not in control of its business, but the task can be overwhelming.
It involves, amongst others:
- Identifying what data should be captured and operationalised.
- Ensuring the data collected is of a high quality.
- Data-mining across existing corporate or product silos which all hold their own share of customer information to develop a single, centralised view of the customer.
- Abstracting useful insight from the available data to identify the customers who are most likely to respond to a particular offering – rather than waste money on those who will never buy.
- Establishing the best ways of communicating with these 'warm' sales targets to clinch the deal.
Traditionally, the sheer mention of the word 'data' used to lead almost automatically to the IT department. But this is a great fallacy. Let's be clear: IT certainly has its role among a number of significant contributors to mastering the 'Big Data' challenge, not least when it comes to finding a technology solution to the problem.
However, the IT department on its own will not usually have the comprehensive perspective of an organisation's business and the specific requirements of the marketing function.
Best practice would dictate the bringing together of a multidisciplinary team to establish the firm's overall data strategy, which ideally needs to bridge functional silos — whether it's marketing or production – to enable an overarching as well as a drill-down view of the organisation.
It is not surprising, however, that dealing with data often lands in the lap of the CMO, who usually already has a highly comprehensive view of the business, and is also probably most in need of access to disparate data streams to create effect marketing campaigns.
Many in the industry see CMOs adding the role of 'Chief Data Officer' to their remit as a result of this trend, eventually resulting in the creation of an independent CDO function, which sits between marketing and IT.
Priorities for CMOs
Once CMOs have a handle on data management, the question is how all the inbound data should be put to use.
In an age when brand loyalty is ever more elusive, this data has to serve in building strong, lasting customer relationships, and maximising the lifetime value of each customer by:
- Optimising segmentation and targeting in order to tailor offers to the individual customer rather than mass marketing indiscriminately, and reducing costs at the same time.
- Enabling customer service staff and salespeople to engage with consumers in a meaningful way, based on their buying history, preferences and, more and more frequently, location.
- Coordinating all communications channels to deliver consistent messaging. Ensuring that all channels have the same up-to-date, real-time and contextual information so that a customer can start a dialogue in one channel and finish it in another.
If CMOs and CDOs can master the 'Big Data' challenge in this way, then the big prize looming in the offing is better campaign ROI, reduced marketing costs, improved customer acquisition and retention and, ultimately, a boost to the bottom line.

Will full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) increase competiton in the health care market or decrease it?
Witnesses debated that question today at a hearing organized by Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee subcommittee that handles issues involving competition.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Washington, argued that PPACA will reduce the level competition and the overall supply of health care, by turning doctors into salaried, less productive wage slaves and reducing the supply of capital entrepreneurs need to create new and better ways to deliver health care.
Traditionally, venture capitalists have helped entrepreneurs develop innovations such as health maintenance organization plans and long-term care hospitals, Gottlieb said, according to a written version of his testimony posted on the committee website.
In some cases, Gottlieb said, the entrepreneurs have profited by moving patients to lower-cost settings, from high-cost settings, and taking a share of the savings.
"PPACA contains deliberate provisions aimed at regulating returns on invested capital, discouraging different forms of entrepreneurship," Gottlieb said. "These provisions are, in many cases, the expression of a political philosophy that guides a number of provisions in PPACA. That philosophy views profits earned on the provision of care as money that should have been channeled instead into direct patient care. The result is that entrepreneurs are not pursuing new health services ventures. Capital flowing to these endeavors has fallen sharply. The lack of incentive for entrepreneurs further entrenches existing players, meaning that tools that could help better coordinate care (for example, health care information technology) is only adopted through outright subsidies to existing providers, rather than through the creation of new approaches to replace an existing way of delivering care."
Thomas Greaney, a health law researcher at St. Louis University, said that PPACA ought to increase competition, and that the laws and regulations now governing the U.S. health care system have been reducing the level of competition for years.
"In 1990, the typical person living in a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) faced a concentrated hospital market with an HHI [the index of concentration used in antitrust cases] of 1,576," Greaney said, according to his written testimony. "By 2003, however, the typical MSA resident faced a hospital market with an HHI of 2,323. This change is equivalent to a reduction from six to four competing local hospital systems."
Hospital market concentration is the result of various "merger waves" facilitated by erroneous court decisions and lax antitrust enforcement, Greaney said.
"Horizontal" combinations between rivals hurts competition, but vertical integration of hospitals and physicians is a good kind of integration that can reduce fragmentation of care, increase the quality of care, and generally increase the level of competition between the vertically integrated organizations, Greaney said.

New Fall Menu at Public Kitchen & Bar (Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel)
Before Vartan Abgaryan exited Public Kitchen and Bar at The Roosevelt, he and Executive Chef Tim Goodell left them with a solid Fall menu.
I was there to try their Halloween eye ball cake pops but was treated to quite a feast instead, starting with a jar of very creamy burrata with bagnet vert and cherry tomatoes ($13)
We couldn't stop snacking on the Chicharrones with chili and lime ($8)
The various vegetable dishes are great for this season. It's the season for squash, so try their Kabocha squash, sheep's milk ricotta, pumpkin seeds, rapini leaves, pumpkin spice vinaigrette ($11)
The pumpkin spice vinaigrette was so good, this dish was almost like eating a savory pumpkin pie.

|Sakon and Ukon's Kekkei Genkai
|Volume #23, Naruto Chapter #203
|Naruto Episode #120
|Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game
|Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu
Sakon and Ukon's unnamed kekkei genkai gives them the unique ability to break their bodies down to a molecular level. The two brothers usually use this ability to share the same body but can also use it to merge with the bodies of others and destroy the host's cells from the inside. When Sakon is in need of assistance, Ukon can bring out some of his body parts to aid Sakon in blocking or attacking. Ukon's arms and legs can emerge from those of Sakon's to increase the force and quantity to his physical attacks.
If needed, Ukon can separate from Sakon's body so that the two can attack independently. While this can be an effective way of double teaming an opponent, Ukon is not used to leaving Sakon's body and is much weaker when he does so. While within another's body, however, they are vulnerable to whatever injuries befall upon the host, in theory allowing the host to commit suicide to kill either of the brothers. After their separation, should any injury befall either of the brothers, they can merge with each other to heal. This way, their healing rate is much faster than that of a normal human's, though it depletes a large amount of chakra. If Sakon is the one to lay dormant for healing, Ukon will have trouble as he is not used to being the lead body.
After integrating Sakon and Ukon's DNA into himself, Kabuto gained access to this kekkei genkai.[1]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer on the hit TV show "The Shield," was arrested Tuesday after authorities said he called 911 and told an operator he shot his wife.
Detectives were investigating whether the couple's financial problems or other marital difficulties played a role in the killing that police said occurred during an argument Monday night while the couple's two sons, both under 10, were in the house.
Police were unsure if the children witnessed the argument or gunfire. They were placed with relatives.
April Jace, 40, was shot multiple times and was found dead in a hallway of the family home in the quiet, modest Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police recovered a handgun believed to belong to her husband, Los Angeles police Detective Dean Vinluan said.
"She came home with the kids and then the dispute happened and the shooting happened," he said.
Jace called 911, said he'd shot his wife and then was seen walking out of the home as officers arrived, Vinluan said. He was detained and later arrested.
Jace was booked on suspicion of homicide, and detectives intend to review the full 911 call and other calls from neighbors reporting that shots had been fired before he is formally charged.
Jace, 51, is best known for his role as LAPD Officer Julien Lowe in "The Shield." He also appeared on the show "Southland" and had small roles in the movies "Planet of the Apes," ''Boogie Nights" and "Forrest Gump."
Vinluan said there had been no reports of domestic violence at the home. However, the actor had been under financial pressure in recent years. He declared for bankruptcy in 2011 and had been delinquent on payments as recently as December.
Next-door neighbor Shirley Harding described the Jaces as good, hands-on parents.
"I never heard arguments," she said. "I just heard happiness over there."
The actor has a son from a previous marriage and was accused in divorce proceedings of being violent toward his ex-wife.
Maria de la Vega, a close friend of Jace's ex-wife Jennifer Bitterman, wrote in a court filing that she saw the actor become violent several times. In August 1997, de la Vega wrote, Jace choked Bitterman and slammed her head into a wall while their infant son was crying in a crib next to them.
In his filing, Jace wrote that he and Bitterman "were both guilty of overstepping physical boundaries."
April Jace was a schoolteacher for 10 years before taking a job in March 2013 as a financial aid counselor at Biola University, a private Christian school. Geoff Marsh, Biola's senior director of financial aid, said she had a radiant personality.
"Her love for helping students and families and her great work ethic earned the respect and love of her co-workers," he said in a written statement.
Michael Jace's bankruptcy filing listed debts between $500,000 and $1 million. Much of the debt appeared related to his home, with an additional $22,000 owed in state and federal income taxes. More than $20,000 of his tax delinquency was owed to the state of California for the year 2008. He agreed to a payment plan, but had fallen behind as recently as December, records show.
In a statement of his assets, Jace checked a box indicating he didn't own any firearms. There are no records of any criminal cases involving Michael Jace in Los Angeles.
Jace consistently found work in Hollywood but remained mostly a bit player. "The Shield" ended its seven-season run in 2008 after Jace appeared in all but one episode, according to IMDB.com, an Internet movie database.
"He's one of those people whose faces you'd recognize but you don't know their names," said veteran casting director Sheila Manning. "He's a solid actor. Nothing big, but he's a working actor."
Calls seeking comment from Jace's agents at SMS Talent were not immediately returned. It could not immediately be determined if he had a lawyer.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer on the hit TV show "The Shield," was arrested Tuesday after authorities said he called 911 and told an operator he shot his wife.

Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-shortening autosomal recessive genetic disease affecting Caucasians. The disease is characterized by a dysfunctional cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) protein and aberrant mucus accumulation that subsequently alters the physicochemical environment in numerous organ systems. These mucosal perturbations have been associated with inflammation and microbial dysbiosis, most notably in the lungs and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Genistein, a soy isoflavone and dietary polyphenol, has been shown to modulate CFTR function in cell cultures and murine models, as well exert sex-dependent improvement of survival rates in a CF mouse model. However, it is unknown whether …

It's been a while, but I thought it was time for another Friday 5. Vegetables are finally fresh again! So let's look at five links on what to do with them:
1. Radishes. Radish, Boursin & Chive Tartines.
2. Spinach. Italian Sausage & Spinach Pasta.
3. Asparagus. Well, you can make Chicken, Feta and Asparagus Salad for yourself. Or maybe an Asparagus, Goat Cheese and Lemon Pasta. Of course, you can eat it on its own, but can you eat it with your fingers? Forget all that, just grill it already!
4. Scallions. Make pancakes! Yummy!
5. If you can find some really really fresh peas (I might be pushing this one in Toronto right now), try this one.
Oh, all right…
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a big fan of rhubarb. But it is a classic spring vegetable, so enjoy. Just don't ask me over:
Rhubarb Cobbler – I think this would be amazing with any fruit, by the way. If you substitute, please ask me over.

McGwire, Dodgers hope steroid use comes to end
ST. LOUIS -- When Mark McGwire sat down in the Dodgers dugout at Busch Stadium to talk with reporters Monday, he joked that he hoped the first question would be about his return to St. Louis, where he played five seasons and was the hitting coach for three years.
But the focus was, instead, on the story that is reverberating throughout baseball. Major League Baseball on Monday suspended 13 players as a result of the league's Biogenesis investigation. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez received the stiffest penalty -- a 211-game ban without pay through the end of the 2014 regular season.
"I wish I was never part of it," McGwire said. "Just really hoping and praying that this is the end of it. Just everybody, especially the players, they don't want any more part of it. And let's just hope it's the end of it."
Rodriguez, 38, has appealed the suspension, which is set to begin Thursday. His case will be heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. Rodriguez's discipline, MLB said in its written announcement, is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone, over the course of multiple years.
Rodriguez's discipline under the Basic Agreement is for attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to "obstruct and frustrate" the investigation.
The other players who were handed 50-game suspensions include Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta, Mariners catcher Jesus Montero, Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, Phillies reliever Antonio Bastardo and recently demoted Mets utility man Jordany Valdespin. Minor Leaguers Fernando Martinez, Jordan Norberto, Fautino de los Santos, Cesar Puello and Sergio Escalona were also suspended.
"It really doesn't matter what I think, I think it matters what the players think," McGwire said. "And what I hear every day in the clubhouse, they're just happy it's coming to an end, they're happy that Major League Baseball is taking care of it.
"I just hope it's over with. I just hope we don't have to sit here and talk about this anymore."
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly has a personal connection to Rodriguez, whom he knows from his time as a coach with the Yankees.
"I like Alex and I'd just like to see what the process ends up being. You never really know the whole story," Mattingly said. "I hate seeing anybody's name involved with it. It's disappointing. It was disappointing last year for Melky [Cabrera]. I loved Melky and really liked him as a player. It's disappointing when you see anybody's name that you know."
Chris Capuano, one of the Dodgers' player representatives, said the suspensions marked a good day for baseball.
"I think the vast majority of guys, any guy you talk to in here, is incredulous that guys would even try to get around it, because we get tested so often and because the tests are so sophisticated," Capuano said. "I think this is a good day. I think the guys that are cheating and trying to gain an unfair advantage are getting punished today."
Over the years, Capuano said he has noticed a shift in players' attitudes toward drug testing with most now overwhelmingly in favor of the league cracking down on the issue.
"I think once we got the testing procedures in place, guys kind of said, 'OK, it seems like it's fair now,'" Capuano said. "But then you had Melky Cabrera, Ryan Braun, you had certain guys, and all of a sudden, you got the sense that there are actually still guys trying to subvert the system, still trying to cheat to gain an advantage, and I think that outrage is a lot of guys who work hard and are trying to compete out here."
In wake of what he believes is another step in the right direction, Capuano said he could envision a future in which the cloud of drug use isn't lingering as strongly over the game.
"There's always people who are going to lack the integrity, there's always people that are going to try to seek an advantage," he said. "But with that, every time this happens, our testing gets more sophisticated, we learn about new ways people are trying to cheat, new methods, new substances, and it makes our testing that much stronger. I envision our testing procedures getting better and better along with this."

Retweeting Without Reading? Yeah, It's Happening – and It Affects Journalism Strategy on Twitter
Worth noting for journalists looking to measure engagement on the Twitters: your retweets aren't necessarily your click-throughs, and the two unfortunately may have almost no correlation either.
Hubspot's Dan Zarrella analyzed 2.7 million tweets that contained links, and his findings show that the retweets and click-throughs had only a sad Pearson's correlation coefficient of .038. More vividly (and perhaps this is a stat that's easier to understand), an entire 16.12 percent of the link-containing tweets Zarrella analyzed generated more retweets than clicks.
Digesting those stats, that means your assumptions are probably right when you notice a weirdly fast retweet, or see a RT of something that you already recognize as not true: Zarrella's study implies many people tweet a link without even clicking on that link.
Forget about "RT are not endorsements." RTs may not even be an acknowledgement that a particular link was clicked, let alone read.
In other words, almost one in every five tweets generates more retweets than clicks. This suggests many people pass on a link without looking at it, and perhaps even worse, vetting it.
Our sister blog AllTwitter has a nice post on this aimed largely at smart marketers, but here is a quick round-up of notes and advice on what the pervasiveness of blind retweeting should maybe mean for the tweetin' journalist:
Recognize RTs may not directly help your traffic
A retweet is probably some indicator of "engagement," but that engagement may not be with what you want it to be: your content. Engagement on social media with a brand or person is good, of course, on many levels, but if it's just a retweet of a link to a story that the retweeter hasn't even read, to what degree is that helpful? A blind retweet may be helpful for pushing your brand out there (which, true indeed, can be a fair goal—see more below), but it may not be helpful for the prime goal of journalism: informing the public.
(Can a blind RT lead to more click-throughs from that blind retweeter's followers? Possibly, and that's nice, but not the ideal, right?)
Strategize, because maybe sometimes this is okay
Zarrella points out that if your goal is to grow into a "thought leader" on Twitter, you want to get out there in front of more eyeballs. In this case, getting more RTs – however blind – does gets you more facetime. As such, it's good to think about the goal of each tweet. Perhaps it's good for you to optimize a tweet for RTs if it contains a link written not by you, but by someone else, and seems to be being shared a lot– as long as what you compose is relevant to your coverage area and you share something useful or insightful to go along with it. But if you want people to read your own linked content, perhaps its better to optimize the tweet for click-throughs. That's something you'll have to weigh on your own.
(Here are some suggestions from AllTwitter on how to get more RTs.)
But still recognize how precise this means you have to tweet
Notably, the skin-level digestion of news that accompanies a blind retweet isn't entirely a new media phenomenon. Back in the heyday of newspapers, of course there were people who didn't read a full article either—instead, they just read the similarly short bit, the headlines. A tweet is a new form headline, and of course there are people who just read its less than 140 characters and go no further. But unlike in the newspaper age, everyone has publishing power, and everybody can pass on an individual "headline," all on their own.
You, as the journalist, should always click before a retweet. You need to vet the info before you pass it along. Studies like this also should be motivators to be mindful that even if a retweet is widespread, that doesn't mean it's widely read. By extension, that doesn't meant it's widely vetted. (Indeed, that's probably a bit how Twitter rumors spread.)
But you, as the journalist, should also want to be mindful of this behavior, and brainstorm ways to limit it as much as possible. If there's a way to construct your engagement to get people actually reading and taking away what you have to say, that's going to be far more rewarding and impactful endeavor than tallying up a long list of RTs on your "Interactions" tab.

The appliance that gives me pleasure
23 comments :

I love the microwave. I learned to use it when I was 3 or 4, and I've been in love ever since. I can make anything in a microwave, even things that aren't supposed to be cooked in a microwave. And unlike the stove, it's never caught on fire while I cooked.

Wow. This is a tough one--I love all my appliances! But my very favorite is my Cuisinart Grind & Brew coffee maker. I seriously couldn't live without it. Next in line is my Crockpot.

Never, ever mention to your roommate that there is such a thing as liquid nitrogen. I'm just sayin'
Mine is the toaster oven. It toasts, it melts stuff on toast, it bakes potatoes, it melts stuff on baked potatoes, it grills brats and hotdogs, it melts stuff on brats and hotdogs . . . the list is endless.
- November 1, 2011 at 4:32 AM
Appliances, eh? I love my dryer. Not a lot of households have dryers in this country. I don't know how they can live without one. Guess they like scratching their faces off after a shower, with crunchy line-dried towels. Not me! I prefer fluffy 100% cotton towels that have been hotly tumbled in the dryer.

- Patty Blount said...
I don't drink coffee so the grinder - meh.
For me, it's my stand mixer. O joy! To not have to hold the mixer while it blends ingredients. 'Tis a wonder, I tell you.
GAH! It's November 1st. I have to start planning holiday cookie batches.

I love love love my standup mixer. i got it for christmas about five years ago, and instantly became the cake boss. my poor coworkers had a new cake to eat every day (a fact made worse by the fact that i hate baked goods of any kind)...but just imagine all the cakes, cookies, breads, pretzels, bagels, and yes, donuts I was churning out. i couldve started my own bakery. it was great!
- November 1, 2011 at 6:06 AM

I second the stand-up mixer especially since I discovered I could shred chicken in it! No longer do I have to stand with two forks tearing at my chicken breasts. Now I just drop it in the kitchen aid with the paddle attachment and go.
But I am craving a deep fryer like whoa...

Is this post in Greek?? Stand mixers?? I have no idea what any of you are talking about.

My electric kettle. No more burning a regular kettle. (I melted the seams in a copper kettle many years ago.) Even the little plastic electric kettles do not measure up to my large, stainless steel kettle. Plus, it's the kind where the electricity goes to the stand. When you pour, you aren't dragging a cord with you. Lots of tea. Lots and lots of tea and cocoa and instant oatmeal ....

My bread maker, definitely. There's a certain amount of smug that goes with saying "Yeah, we only eat fresh bread in our house" and knowing it's because it only takes me 5 minutes to toss all the ingredients in the pan and click 'start', and that's a lot easier than going to the grocery store.

I love all my appliances equally. However, the one I couldn't do without is my toaster oven. Love love love that little thing.

Anything that pops popcorn is my favourite appliance. I have an air popper, a crank-style popper, a microwave popper, and a popper that I use over the open fire when I'm camping. And if all else fails, I've got a big pot... :-)

Popcorn!!!! Love me some popcorn. I like making it over the stove, though .LOL With oil and butter. :)

Water boiler, definitely my water boiler. I'm a tea fiend, and I use that water boiler at least five times a day.

After reading posts about your housemate's penchant for frying, I must get a fry baby (or better yet, fry daddy) in the immediate future. Everything is better fried.
That said, my fave appliance for the moment is my AeroLatte. I love hot chocolate in the winter, and that baby froths up the milk with beautiful bubbles. It does run on batteries, but I don't use it often enough to make me crazy about changing them.

I actually spent close to $400 on a blender last year - but it's not just a blender, it's the Blendtec Total Blender that can make liquid out of an iphone (look it up on google). I got it to make smoothies and particularly green smoothies (with some fresh veg in it - far sweeter than you'd imagine when it's all pureed) and it really does work better than my old Kmart cheapie. Because I spent so much on it I make sure to use it regularly. It sort of doubles as a food processor, but not to the extent the sales people will make you believe.
- November 1, 2011 at 2:26 PM
- Jason said...
I'm split. It's either the Cuisinart ice cream maker or the food processor - both have their unique aspects of awesome. Probably the food processor though...if it were easier and faster to clean I'd probably use it every meal.
- November 1, 2011 at 2:28 PM

Crockpot. Because mine has three different sized removable bowls, and a warming function, so you can make three different dishes of different quantities, heat them all up, and rotate to keep them all toasty warm. If you felt the need to do that :)

I wouldn't say I "love" my microwave. It's more like we're drunk frat buddies. It understands that sometimes, it needs to be woken up to eat a precooked burrito with me at three in the morning, and it's always up for it. So me and the microwave? We homies.

Taymalin, do you need me to give you a moment alone with that microwave?
Joyce, I share your crockpot love, though mostly just during cold months.
Sarah W, this is wise advice! *googles 'liquid nitrogen'*
Suzanne, I love to air dry everything EXCEPT towels!
Patty, I hate coffee, too, but sure do know a lot of coffee addicts.
Karla, I can't honestly say I've ever used a standup mixer, though I do deeply adore the food processor I got at a yard sale.
Elissa, I can't picture chicken shredding in a standup mixer, but maybe that's just because I've never used one.
Michelle, I think I know what a standup mixer is, but I don't honestly think I'd use one. I'm not much for baking.
Skye, oooh, I have something kinda like that. I'm a tea junkie, too!
Loralie, I've been wondering if I'd use a breadmaker if I had one. Might have to scout around at yard sales.
Anne, I have a double-oven, but the top one is small and sorta like a toaster oven. I couldn't live without it!
Diane, mmmm….popcorn!
LynnRush, you, Diane, and I should form a popcorn fan club.
Bethany, on the days I work from home, my water boiler is pretty much in constant use.
Susan, my gentleman friend would be hard pressed to pick between his coffee maker and his milkshake machine.
Lindsay, I covet your NuWave. I want one of those!
Julie, I think I have to google AeroLatte. Not sure I know what that is!
Stephsco, funny how you sometimes appreciate things more if they cost a lot. I have a pair of boots like that!
Jason, oooh, I do love my homemade ice cream maker. Yum!
Mary Kate, I have the multi-chambered crockpot, too! I love that thing!
Amanda, LOL, that's the perfect description!
Kait, I do occasionally like stove popped popcorn, but sometimes it just seems too oily.
Thanks for reading, guys!
