My apple seeds are germinating, what next?
I've had some apple seeds germinating in the frig. in some wet paper towels. I noticed that one is germinating. What next? Should I plant it in some potting mix? Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.
Here is a tray of peaches and some other stonefruit:
I'll leave them in here for about a month or so and then repot to gallon...from there i'll leave them until late May or early June and figure out where I want to set them. They'll outgrow gallon pots very quick once the days get long and the weather warms. I start all my stuff in a greenhouse, so I get a head start.
The next step is very important, in the process of growing an apple tree from seeds, and has to done with care. Remove the soil very carefully from the bag or container, and place it in a hole that is about 10 mm deep. If there are many seedlings, plant them at different locations. Avoid replanting the apple plant, as most of the cultivars are rather delicate and rarely survive re-potting.
The location at which you plant the germinated apple seed is very critical, because the tree should receive morning sunlight. This helps in evaporating dew, which is a medium for the spread of contagious diseases. The apple tree also needs to be planted in a type of soil that drains quickly.
If you wish to reap really good benefits from the tree, then it is advisable that you learn the techniques of pruning and balancing the tree. You can also get very good results if you prune the top branches regularly, and allow sunlight to reach the lower branches. The sunlight not only makes the lower branches healthy, but also prevents them and the fruits from infestation.
Your journey with your apple plant does not end with the planting of a germinated seed. You need to care for the plant, protect it, prune it, put in fertilizers, and last but not the least, love it, in order to get the best quality fruit from it.
I forgot to ask about light. I was planning to put the germinated seeds into 3" pots. Is a sunny windowsill enough? Or do I need to set up a fluorescent light like I do when I start tomatoes inside? Frank....looks like you have some sort of greenhouse set-up. I notice that you are in Z5 also. Obviously still winter there as it is here. Thanks.
I find if you have them under florecent grow lights they harden off a lot quicker to the full blown sun. For me I can take them from grow lights, expose them to morning and evening sun for 2 days then expose them to full day sunlight and not have the leaves burn.When I first started playing around it would take about a week of having them under an old window pane for the morning and evening exposure and then shading them from the afternoon .Even after all that I would still get burnt leaves.For me the grow lights really speed things up and you don't get a weak spindly grass whip sitting on the windowsil. I hope you have fun with your trees,I have a seedling that produces small inch and a half apples that are absolutely great!I have also grafted 10 other varietties to it. People do a double take when they see it because there are big apples little apples red apples yellow apples.....you get the idea. I also have some seedling trees with horrid tasting fruit which was not a problem as they are quickly being worked over.
hasslecloud - could credit your sources, please? Readers need to know if they are getting replies based on experience or on Google.
jolj - if you want an identical tree to the parent, ie a clone, they do have to be grafted. If you are not interested in a clone you can grow an apple tree from seed but the resulting fruit will be pot luck.
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing apples from seed
Yeah...if you are putting them out late enough, then burnt leaves is a real concern. I'd leave them in the shade for a few days or so and then move them into full sun. I have all my stuff in a greenhouse for most of the spring, so I don't see many issues, only with excessive heat (greenhouse even now will warm to 90F).
Seedlings grow extremely fast. I just was looking at a dormant apple seedling I have out in the garage and its taller then me (over 6ft) and this will be its 3rd summer and that is after having it in a way too small of pot (1 gallon) for one whole summer. I'm going to see how fast I can get a seedling to fruit.
Wow, what teriffic information! I've got some good sterile seed starting mix that I plan to use to plant the germinated seeds in. I have about 8 seeds in the frig. and 2 of them have roots about 1/8" long. Can they go into the mix now, or should I wait for the root to lengthen a bit? This is my first time with apple seeds, so I have a lot of questions. Thanks.
I usually stick em in the soil as soon as i see them sweel and crack their shells. Do you have a lot of seeds? If you are growing out over 40 or so I tried those seed starter trays last year with the dry peat moss pucks that you activate with hot water. they worked quite well, after observing which ones are the strongest growing ones you can pick them out and dedicate them to larger pots and terf the weaker ones.
It's been alluded to, but I'll say it again, coz I'd hate someone to get the wrong idea.
Apples from seed are likely to bear no resemblance to their parents. They might be great, they might be 'spitters'. You won't know until they fruit.
If I had plenty of space, I'd plant a bunch out and experiment away! I don't, so I have grafted, named cultivars. Boring, but a safe bet.
Edweather, just so you know it will take 7 or more years before you get any fruit to try, and that one seedling could end up being a thorn bush(which is not that bad as I have found the thorny ones bear earlier and you can graft them over to something else)If you have the space I would try and get a few growing then you can weed out the weaker ones in a few years.The way I see it, it is well worth the effort even if it is a dud , it's all about trying something new and having fun while gaining experience along the way with your children.So have fun and in a few years you can look at that tree and say "remember when we planted that"?
Speaking of apple trees grown on their own stock. We live on an old farm where there was an apple orchard circa 1830s. Here and there on the property is a wildling apple tree, likely progeny of the orchard down a few generations. We were bushhogging one day and noticed a good looking sapling growing in a field we hadn't mowed in a few years. Left it, just to have a tree there.
I suspect the seed was dropped by a bird or some other varmint and she grew into a beautiful apple tree with an early bearing fruit. It is good enough to eat raw, but makes fabulous apple sauce and a decent pie. So, you just never know.
Wonderful discussion. I'm not as obsessive with this apple tree growing experiment(yet,)as I am with other things that I grow. Like as was mentioned, my son and I are just having fun planting something in winter and seeing what happens. Two Empire seeds germinated in the frig, and we planted them together in a 4" pot of Jiffy mix, and have them on a heating pad. If a couple more seeds germinate we might do the same thing with them also. We don't have a lot of room, and in all likelihood won't be living here 10 years from now. Bottom line.....we're just having fun. Hopefully we'll get something that we can plant outside, and like you say, point at it and say, "remember when...." That would be fun! Now if you want to talk serious, just get me talking about my tomatoes and blueberries.
Here is one of my seedlings (2 years old) that should probably be planted out into the ground this year (i have way too many). I will end up grafting it over to Honeycrisp or some other apple....
Just keep in mind, if you don't plant them in the ground, that they will quickly fill up the pot with roots.
We start apple seedlings in tiny peat or coir pots and then transplant directly into the soil, then bud-graft and dig up a year later. They wilt quickly if dug out of a seed tray and transplanted, but if I leave them in the peat pot I can plant them out in 100 degree weather (unfortunately common here in April) with not even a hiccup. Pink Lady apples often come with a seed already sprouting inside.

Monday AM: It's Zeke's annual check-up. He remembers the six-inch needle from his last appointment. He's not welcoming John, the GVW ("the Greatest Vet in the World"). Zeke weighs in. He's up another 5 pounds, peaking at his all-time high. GVW's scorecard on Zeke sets off vicious attacks: Family v. Dad. It's you! He only sits next to you at Dinner! You are feeding him table scraps! Do you realize you are shortening his life!" Dad Growls in response.
Wednesday AM: GVW sends an email. He's never sent an email to me before, but he needs to send this one. Zeke's stool sample shows no evidence of worms. Vet Code Translation: He's fat, but at least he's clean. All is not lost.
Thursday PM: It's bedtime. Zeke's laying next to me. He looks up and stares. What's up Zeke? He tells me he's depressed. GVWs lack of bedside manner cut deep. GVW and the Family fail to grasp nature's natural cycle like Mary Oliver and I do: summer falling to fall, to be following by what will follow: winter again: count on it. Same with weight. Down in summer. Up in the Winter. Down in summer. Count on it. It's a bloody cycle. No need to overreact.

Works perfectly
I ordered 3 of these, and they are perfect. They are a perfect color, a mix of grey and taupe or a griege. They worked perfectly with my decor. They have storage which is always great. They are very sturdy, people can sit on them with no problems, but they are not too heavy to move around. the tray top is great too but they do scratch pretty easily.

Does the lid flip over with tray attached? Or is the tray separate and you would take lid off then place tray?
The tray is attached to the lid, so it flips over with the tray attached.

How to Accessorize an Ottoman
Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.
How to Clean an Ottoman
It's easy to give living room ottomans a cursory, superficial cleaning, like simply running a vacuum cleaner over the surface; however, because ottomans are the object of much use by feet and shoes, they need an occasional deep cleaning. Follow these steps to clean your ottoman.
Ottoman Buying Guide
Ottomans are fun, functional pieces of living room furniture, and they go well beyond their modest size in completing the look of your home. At its most basic, an ottoman consists of a padded cushion, usually atop a wooden frame for resting your feet. Of course, there are countless variations on the basic theme. This ottoman buying guide gives you everything you need to know about how to buy an ottoman that will reward you and your living room again and again.
How to Use Ottomans for Coffee Tables
Everywhere you look, you'll see decor spreads that replace the living room's old, faithful coffee table with one or two ottomans. This relatively straightforward substitution can toss a few curve balls at would-be decorators unless they do their homework. Take a look below to learn how to use ottomans for coffee tables.
How to Sew an Ottoman Slipcover
Old, worn-out furniture often sticks around longer than preferred, creating some problems when it comes to redecorating a room. One common solution for keeping older sofas and chairs around that no longer match a living room color scheme or have too much wear and tear, is to create slipcovers using a sewing machine and new upholstery fabric. Slipcovers can be sewn for all types of furniture and if you are redecorating a room, you should attempt to update all furniture, including ottomans. If you are looking for an affordable way to keep your old ottoman around without disrupting your room's sense of style and coordination, then you might consider sewing your own ottoman slipcover.
How To Use a Storage Ottoman
If you're short on space, try adding a storage ottoman to the room. Whether you need storage in your living room, bedroom, or home office, this handy piece of furniture may just be the answer. They come in a number of shapes, sizes, textures, and materials so you can easily match them to any room's decor. Here are some tips on using a storage ottoman.
How to Match an Ottoman and Chair
When you add new furniture to your living room, like an ottoman or accent chair, it's important that they coordinate with your already existing furniture. Much like coordinating clothing, matching different pieces of furniture is important for creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing room. When you're matching an ottoman with a chair, it's especially important to get a piece that matches or compliments the furniture that you already have, especially since these two items will sit in such close proximity to each other. Keep reading for tips on how to match ottoman and chair.
Tips on Coordinating an Ottoman with Your Living Room
An ottoman is a versatile piece of furniture that, when chosen and incorporated tastefully, can spruce up your living room, add function and tie various design elements together. How you coordinate an ottoman with your living room depends on factors such as your decorating taste, your living room theme, the size and style of your room, the existing furniture in your space and the personality you want the room to reflect. So, when choosing an ottoman, pick one that satisfies the criteria that matter to you the most.
Popular Styles of Sofas Loveseats and Ottomans
Finding the perfect sofas and loveseats for your home is essential. Your living room furniture is an important part of your home decor, so making the right furniture choice is vital.

An Introduction to Gliders
A new alternative to traditional rocking chairs is are gliders. With so many new furniture fads nowadays, it's hard to keep up with what's popular as well as practical.

Necessary Living Room Furniture - Sofas
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best. Although most people own living room furniture like ottomans and end tables, few realize what an impact their sofa can have on a living room. Sofas and other accompanying furniture can either tie a living room theme together or break it. Keep reading for more information about sofas.
Tips on Making Leather Furniture Last
Leather furniture is a wise investment that pays off in style, class and comfort. Leather furniture can range from leather sofas and loveseats to ottomans and recliners. Your new leather furniture will beautify your home quickly. Regrettably, if it's not maintained, leather furniture can age quickly. Your furniture can go from terrific to tacky in a matter of years if it doesn't receive the proper care. Fortunately, there are some easy tips on making leather furniture last that are simple and effective.
Bench Buying Guide
Often overlooked in favor of sofas, armchairs and ottomans, benches deserve more attention than they receive. These versatile pieces of living room furniture serve as style accents to any room and act as convenient seating surfaces. Whether indoor or outdoor, benches come in varieties to satisfy multiple decorating functions. This bench buying guide will give you some shopping points to consider when fitting benches into your existing and future home decorating.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
How to Clean a Leather Storage Bench

How to Measure a Recliner for a Slipcover
Whether you want to update an old chair or protect a new one from spills and stains, a recliner slipcover will do the job. Should something spill on the slipcover, you can easily clean it, as most are machine washable. Slipcovers let you change the color of a recliner to match any decor, too. Before you buy a slipcover, however, you'll need to measure your reclining chair to ensure a proper fit. These steps for measuring work for recliners with either attached or separate footrests.
Tips on Buying Bar Stools
You don't sit down on a bar stool; you sit up on a bar stool. And that seems to make all the difference. People sitting on stools seem to be much more lively and talkative. But stools, whether at a bar in your basement or around the center island in your kitchen, still create a casual, relaxed mood. Adding counter stools or bar stools can add a lot of energy to a home. They are well suited for cocktail parties and holiday gatherings when no one wants to establish themselves in one location too long but might want to get off their feet for just a moment. Fortunately, the many styles and colors of stools let you easily find some that are right for you, regardless of your home's decor.

Considering this was a Pleasanton cop who caused the middle-of-the-night evacuation of our neighborhood, I think the community has a right to know what ever came of it all. Did he just get a slap on the hand? Seems odd that we haven't heard anything more about it.

Against the Tide
How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President
By Lincoln Chafee
(Thomas Dunne Books, Hardcover, 9780312383046, 272pp.)
Publication Date: April 1, 2008
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
In this smart, candid, and surprising political memoir, Lincoln Chafee offers a behind-the-scenes look at the first six years of the Bush Administration from the vantage point of one of the few Republican moderates in the Senate.
When Senator Chafee (R-RI) went to Washington, he encountered a Republican Party drifting so far to the right it no longer stood for the mainstream principles that united Americans. Instead, under the direction of George W. Bush, the Party had fallen victim to extremism. In the face of this trend, Chafee stood fast as one of the most liberal Republicans in the Senate, seeking to cut across partisan lines at the very time that they threatened to irrevocably divide the nation.
A political iconoclast, Chafee was the only Republican senator to have expressed support for same-sex marriage; the only Republican to vote in favor of reinstating the top federal tax rate on upper-income payers; the only Republican in the Senate to have voted against authorization of the use of force in Iraq; the only Republican to vote for the Levin-Reed amendment calling for a nonbinding timetable for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq; and the only Republican to vote against Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. Chafee favored increased federal funding for health care, supported affirmative action and gun control, supported women's reproductive rights, and endorsed federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Sometimes referred to by conservatives as a RINO (Republican in Name Only), Chafee turns the tables on the right and asks why it has enabled Bush Jr. to pull the GOP and the nation away from traditional principles of fiscal conservatism, respect for our environment, and aversion to foreign entanglements.
Unabashedly frank, Chafee's memoir recounts his political journey from small-town mayor to a voice crying from the congressional wilderness. He offers a forward-looking assessment of what comes next for the Republican and Democratic parties, and he also addresses the potential rise of a third party within the void created by bipartisan extremism. Most important, Chafee sounds a wake-up call to his Party, and to all Americans, by challenging our government to strive, as Abraham Lincoln once articulated, "to elevate the condition of men."
LINCOLN CHAFEE served in the United States Senate as the Republican senator from Rhode Island from 1999 to 2007. Currently, he is working as a distinguished visiting fellow at Brown University, and he has been mentioned as a candidate for governor of Rhode Island in 2010. He lives in Rhode Island with his wife and three children.

Bought the burgundy sofa cover. Great color. Easy to place on couch. Soft velvety feel. Only complaint is that it doesn't sit quite right tucking under my couch in the front. Tucks and fits great on both sides and in back. Comes with a pull tab adjusted which fixed it somewhat but not all way. Solved the problem with a couple straight pins tucking the cover under the couch and pinning it. Overall the cover fits and looks great on couch. Would definetely recommend.
This slip cover really rocks. Velvet texture gives a rich look and the blue color is too good. This has changed the ambience of the living room. It looks that it doesnt need adjustment as compared to my previousl slipcover which needed adjustment. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone.
The only real problem I had with the covers was that the color depicted on the site was not the same as I recieved. It looked tan in the photo but was very gold when out of the box and on the couch and chair. Quite 70's. The quality was fine, but I ended up returning just because the color was so bad.
I bought this slip cover because I have a baby and a toddler at home and they can make a couch really messy. I wanted something that I could take off and wash when it got to disty from sticky hands and drool. I got the Burgundy to match my livingroom. The swatch online looked more maroon/red then a true merlot/burgundy... a perfect match! It arrived pretty quickly and was really easy to install. Props for ease of use. The color was not nearly as Red as it looked online.. when they say Burgundy, they mean it. So, bummer for that, but whatever. "colors vary from computer to computer" right?. I noticed right away that some of the seams were ripping and coming lose in spots, and it only got worse after I washed it... but I'm pretty handy with a needle and thread, so once they actually start to open up, I'll be able to take care of it without much hassel at all. For me it's not a big deal, but for someone else it might be. If you put the cover on straight out of the package it'll look all swirly and patterned like you think Velvet does.. But after you wash it it smoothes right out and looks just lovely. Just make sure to wash it alone and don't do a load of whites after, as it really lints up the dryer! Overall I would say it was a good investment and I look foreward to buying one in another color so I can swap them out seasonally.
I was extremely disappointed with this product. Although the material felt nice and soft to the touch, as soon as I put it on the sofa, the material began to fall apart. I have had it on for about a month and there are many noticable holes all over the seats. The fabric seems to just fall apart. Very poor workmanship. Not at all worth the money!
Easy to work with cover that looks just like new each and every time it is laundered. I actually own 2 of these so that I can have one on the sofa at all times. I have 3 dogs that lounge around on them and they fabric has never had a pull or tear in it. The only weak area of the construction is the seams I have mentioned in the item. The manufacturer should have reinforced the seams or used heavy duty thread to secure the seams. I have had to do this manually if I see there is a void after washing. It is a small price to pay to have them stay in good working condition. This is a very good looking cover and is an attractive addition to the room.
I would not recommend these slip covers to anyone with children or pets. I bought the green one about 2 weeks ago. When it came in the mail it was very easy to put on my couch and it looked great. After about 2 days the "velvet" started showing little nicks and marks. I have had them on my couch for 2 weeks now and there are already holes all over them. I have a cat and a dog, so the damage is obviously from them, but my last slipcover was on my couch for a year and does not have one hole in it. I am very disappointed with this product and would not advise you to purchase it unless you do not plan on sitting on your couch. The material is far too delicate to be used as a couch cover and I wish I would have spent the extra money on a better product.
In the beginning, I was a little skeptical about paying the requested price for this sofa cover. When it came in the mail, I was very pleased with the fabric quality!! I thought, "Boy, if it fits my sofa well, I'll be in business!" The directions were easy to follow. I was able to get it the way I wanted in less than 20 minutes! I have had the cover for over 3 months now and the fabric is still holding up very well. In the 3 months mentioned, I have had the "people traffic" of college kids and dinner party guests sitting on this cover. We have an Airedale terrier. Guess, what? The cover repels her hair!!! I have had to wash it yet. Considering the fabric is a great weight, I am confident that it will hold up in the wash just fine! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!!
I bought 2 of these for both of my full size sofas in my living room. One sofa is traditional w/ removable cushions on the seat and back, the other is modern with a sewn on solid cushion, and a super low back of only 28". The stretch fits them both pretty well. It shrinks down to accomodate the smaller sofa and stretches tight to accommodate the larger sofa. I love the color, it reminds me of an emerald even thought I'd call it more of a sunny olive; perhaps it's the garnet and topaz throw pillows against the green. Also, the cotton/poly velvet feels great against your skin. I'd rather lay on that than the microfiber that the sofas are actually made of.
If you have kids I would not recommend this item. I was slightly disappointed. I thought the stretch material would have fit better. Although the kids loved the color and the velvet material. If you want it for looks only it ok.

The big question!! How often should I water my garden
Hi all.
I'm in desperate need of HELP! I have a newish garden which was finished at the end of the September.
Total land are is 645m2 - 200m2 for the house.
Total lawn area 165m2
Other spaces filled with stone and some plants.
The land was toiled, evened out and prepared with sand and compost before laying down the turf. Since the first week of December I noticed some patches appearing in the grass which I now have come to learn is a type of fungus. It is spreading fast and I'm worried that I am over watering the garden. I'm trying the cornmeal route before applying a herbicide as I would like to maintain the garden organically.
Our climate based in Chicureo, Santiago in Chie is pretty hot with summer temps of 30'C and winter temps don't drop below 12'C. Annual rainfall 356mm during winter.
Land type sand with a large quantity of clay minerals.
My irrigation system is set to come on every day at 12.00pm at night and 9am in the morning twice a day. The grass gets 5 minutes and the plants get 9min.
Lawn total watering times 10 minutes.
Plants watering times 18 minutes.
Now I've given the background (hang in there) I have the following questions:-
1. Should I be watering at a different time during the day
2. Should I be watering less frequently i.e. every other day or twice or three times a week.
3. How long should I water for.
I would love just to speak to a professional company here but just me on this they just don't exists no-one has a freaking clue what they're doing, no-one has studied. All the gardeners have no previous knowledge about gardens and comes in with their blunt mower blades and cut and chop as they wish.
I would really appreciate anyone who can take the time to help me determine when and how often I should be watering.
A lawn or garden should get about one inch(2.54 cm) of depth of water a week if it was raining. Place several cups out on the lawn to measure the depth of water in the cups per watering cycle. Let us know what depth you measure. My guess is your are over watering, especially with fungus forming or grass starts to yellow. Without knowing the water output your system is generating, it is just a guess. I would cut back watering to about 4 minutes per day, once a day, every other day and see how the grass or plants take it. This is called an experiment. go out and check the moisture in your soil by digging about 5 cm into the ground and see if there is moisture after your water stops. Do the cup thing to find out exactly how long to run your system. That is called a water audit. Placing cups all over the place will determine how even you system is water all parts of your lawn. If you do this you will be the gardening expert in your area. Aloha
You are generally better off watering longer but less often. When you water small amounts very frequently, the lawn and garden stay wet on the surface nearly all the time, making an ideal environment for fungus problems. Plants also don't put down deep roots since they don't need to, so are more susceptible to drought stress if there is a gap in the watering, and if your sprinklers aren't completely uniform, you get patches that never get enough water.
By watering less frequently, but with more water so it soaks down in, the surface will dry out and reduce fungus problems and the roots will go down deeper to follow the water.
I water usually once a week, sometimes every 5 days during the hottest part of the summer when days are consistently in the 90's--it depends on when the grass starts to show water stress, but the water will reach a depth of 24 inches or more from each watering. My climate gets virtually no rainfall, so irrigation is all it gets. When we do get measurable rain in late spring, then I will space the watering out further, based on when the grass just starts to show some drouth stress.
What I'm getting at is let the ground dry out to a depth as long as your middle finger or a little more, then give it a good watering, then let it dry to that depth before the next watering and set your timer to follow that schedule.

On 25 March, Christie's Paris presented a selection of works on paper coming from the Triton Collection.
The sale, which amassed a total sum of €9,823,375, broke several world records for works on paper, with Salvador Dalí's La reine Salomé (1937) being particularly successful, exceeding its estimated price which was set to be between €300,000 and €500,000, seeking for €721,500. Fernand Léger's Danseuse au tambourin (1954), which was estimated to sell for between €250,000 and €350,000, was sold for €673,500. The highlight of the sale was Camille Pissarro's Les paysannes travaillant dans les champs, Pontoise (1881), which went for €1,381,500, despite an original estimated price of €250,000 – €350,000.
Tudor Davies, director of the Impressionist and Modern Art department at Christie's said that the results of this sale's total bore witness to the "extraordinary quality of the collection", as well as the energy and enthusiasm of the collectors.

Most church leaders who donŌĆÖt have a plan for engaging financial leaders in their church lack one for these two reasons:
1. The belief that engaging financial leaders will make them feel as if all the church cares about is their money or it shows favoritism to certain givers.
2. The lack of confidence to engage financial leaders in a way that encourages them to become significant givers.
However, as churches look to climb out of the tough times caused by the recession, we can no longer exclude anyoneŌĆöincluding those with financial meansŌĆöwhen it comes to developing a giving ministry. At the same time, confidence is developed when we know the proper techniques to use and the right questions to ask.
Financial leaders are a part of funding your churchŌĆÖs vision for the future. Doing your homework on the front end will not only help you feel more confident, but it will also ensure youŌĆÖre maximizing the moments of your meetings.
As you prepare for your conversations with financial leaders, here are some general rules of engagement:
- Know that financial leaders are already giving to a variety of other organizations. If you want them to get more involved in your church, you need to be prepared to show them where theyŌĆÖre needed and how they can make a unique contribution to accomplish something that is personal to them.
- Financial leaders want to understand the why, how and what of any strategy decision a church leader makes. WeŌĆÖre talking about vision and mission decisions. Remember, these individuals are used to sitting at the decision-making table. They donŌĆÖt want to take over your job; they already have enough responsibility. But they do want assurance that you have all your bases covered.
- You need to be ready to share specific details if they ask. That doesnŌĆÖt mean having all the answers, but it does mean demonstrating youŌĆÖve thought your ideas through.
- Respect your time with them. Have a purpose in meeting with them. Follow up and follow through on everything they ask. Show them that you value them and their time.
- Please donŌĆÖt forget to be human. Ask them about their life, spouse and children, as well as what they like to do when they arenŌĆÖt a busy professional. Few people ask them these types of questions. It also helps ease into a relationship built on mutual trust and respect.
There are financial leaders in your church right now who are waiting for you to connect with them, inspire them and help them see how they can be part of GodŌĆÖs plan. If you do these five things, youŌĆÖll discover what so many other church leaders have already discovered: Financial leaders know they have the ability to significantly impact the trajectory of the organizations and causes they are passionate about.
You can learn more about the mindset of a financial leader, how to identify them and how to fund your churchŌĆÖs vision by developing financial leaders in our newest eBook, The Ministry of Giving.
How are you going about engaging the financial leaders in your church? What part do they play in GodŌĆÖs plan for your church?
Tony Morgan is the chief strategic officer and founder of TonyMorganLive.com. HeŌĆÖs a consultant, leadership coach and writer who helps churches get unstuck and have a bigger impact. For 14 years, Tony served on the senior leadership teams at West Ridge Church (Dallas, Ga.), NewSpring Church (Anderson, S.C.) and Granger Community Church (Granger, Ind.). With Tim Stevens, Tony has co-authored Simply Strategic Stuff, Simply Strategic Volunteers and Simply Strategic GrowthŌĆöeach of which offers valuable, practical solutions for different aspects of church ministry. His book Killing Cockroaches (B&H Publishing) challenges leaders to focus on the priorities in life and ministry.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Give peace a chance — again
When negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians resume in Washington, both delegations can save a lot time on making preparations, especially on speeches and opening remarks. Why work day and night and agonize over the right wording and nuances, when everything has already been said?
The Israeli representative, for example, can pick up a piece of paper from the archive and read as follows: "Our Palestinian partners in peace, we feel that we can work together with you. We have been empowered to continue to change the course of history and to follow in the direction of our two leaders, who make the historical decisions. We hear the call of our peoples and the order of our children: Put an end forever to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and build good relations between neighbors, living apart, differing in character, history and aspirations, yet destined to dwell side by side."
His Palestinian counterpart can respond with the following words: "We will spare no effort and will work diligently and tirelessly to ensure that these new negotiations achieve their goals and objectives in dealing with all of the issues: Jerusalem, refugees, settlements, border security, water, as well as the release of all our prisoners — in order to achieve peace. The people of our area are looking for peace that achieves freedom, independence and justice to the Palestinian people in their country and in their homeland and in the diaspora — our people who have endured decades of longstanding suffering."
As a matter of fact, the Israeli speech was actually delivered on May 5, 1996, by then-Director General of Israel's Foreign Ministry Uri Savir, at the opening of the Taba negotiations. The Palestinian one was given on September 1, 2010, by Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), president of the Palestinian Authority, when he met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington. Of course, both sides can choose from a multitude of similar speeches, given at countless negotiations in between.
Martin Indyk, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, who has just been appointed by the Obama administration as the chief mediator between the Israelis and the Palestinians, can also save himself the trouble of preparing opening remarks. He can just browse through his files and dig up something he said on Dec. 22, 1997, when he was assistant secretary of State for Near East affairs during the Clinton administration: "There is still a lot of hard work to be done, but the United States, the president and the secretary of State, remain committed to moving this process ahead as quickly as possible so we can achieve an agreement and start final status talks as soon as possible."
This sense of deja vu can explain a lot of the cynicism that accompanies the announcement of Secretary of State John Kerry's success in jump-starting the stalled peace process. Israelis and Palestinians have already seen and heard everything. What makes this new round different than the previous ones?
It has always been my belief that with all the fine words negotiating partners might use on the merits of peace, real peace between Arabs and Israelis will only happen when both sides come to the conclusion that they have exhausted all other options. In other words, that peace was their best choice to promote their national interests. Egypt, Israel's greatest enemy for decades, made peace with Israel only after realizing that Israel cannot be defeated by military force. Israelis, on the other hand, gave Sinai back to Egypt, something they had been reluctant to do before, only after the Yom Kippur War taught them the heavy toll of stagnation.
People in Israel should really salute the determination of Secretary Kerry in particular, and of all American administrations since the Six-Day War in general, for never giving up hope of brokering peace in this region. However, no American mediation and goodwill, or even pressure, for that matter, can possibly substitute for a genuine decision by the leaders of both sides to make peace.
So again, what's new in this round? Have the Israeli and Palestinian leaders really reached that crucial point?
Some of my friends maintain that true peace will only be possible when the two parties reach the point of mutual exhaustion. I hate this conclusion, because it means more bloodshed. Short of that, however, is there something that can convince Israelis and Palestinians that peace — with all the painful compromises and risks involved — is their preferred alternative?
I think that there is. On the Palestinian side: the realization that sooner than later, they might be declared a failed state, and that they will forever be doomed to fight for their sovereignty and never get it (see the case of the Kurds in the Middle East).
On the Israeli side: the growing awareness that every year of stagnation moves us closer to a bi-national state, where the Jewish and/or democratic nature of the state might be compromised.
So thank you, Mr. Kerry, and welcome again, Mr. Indyk. You might be surprised to find the two parties riper than ever. This time, I, for one am holding my breath.

An Enhanced Robust and Efficient Password-Authenticated Key Agreement Using Smart Cards
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Although, the smart card brings conveniences, it also increases the risk in the case of lost cards. When the smart card is possessed by an attacker, the attacker will possibly attempt to analyze the secret information within the smart card to deduce the authentication mechanism of the server and then forge user credentials or break the entire authentication system In this paper, the authors analyze the lost smart card attack from Juang et al.'s scheme that proposes password authenticated key agreement. In order to bolster the security of the entire system, they mitigated some of its weaknesses.

VIDEO: Oracle President Thomas Kurian on CX, Data & Innovation
By Oracle Social Cloud-Oracle on Jan 20, 2015
Keys to any successful customer engagement and customer experience (CX) program are strategy, integration and data. In our video blog series with Oracle President Thomas Kurian we continue with his insights on Oracle's commitment to CX and how developing a strategic and innovative CX portfolio that is enriched with data will be Oracle's differentiator.
Recently noted in an AdExchanger article, Oracle's focus on data and data integration is no secret, especially with its acquisition of BlueKai in February of 2014 and the more recently announced acquisition of Datalogix. The holy grail of any marketer and business is a complete understanding of your customers and prospects across their online and offline worlds for better engagement and targeting. Oracle's CX strategy includes integration across CX applications like marketing, service, sales, commerce and social; and enriching those applications with data so businesses have a unified view of people across all the many channels and platforms they access daily.
"Data is a fundamental differentiator… All applications, over time, can become vastly better if they are enriched with data," noted Kurian in the video.
He also talks about the transition that cloud and CX innovation has had within Oracle. Today, Oracle is leading by partnering with customers to develop modern software that is innovative, integrated and delivers great user experiences. "Look at Oracle in 2007 and look at it in 2014, night and day different as a company."
This is just one video in a series of videos with Kurian. Oracle Social Cloud Group VP Meg Bear spent the day recently with Kurian discussing everything from the changing role of today's CMO and CIO, to data and innovation, to the importance of user experience. Check back each week as we feature a new video with insights from Kurian on how Oracle is partnering and co-innovating with our customers to help pave a path of success and deliver consistent, rewarding and exceptional experiences for their customers.
