Collection of Douglas Hyde papers presented to NUI Galway
Monday, 26 September 2005
A valuable collection of personal letters and other material belonging to a close friend of Douglas Hyde, An Craobhín Aoibhinn, eminent Gaelic scholar and first President of Ireland, has been presented to NUI Galway. The collection has come from the family of Tom Morrisroe who was born and raised in Ratra, near Frenchpark, Co Roscommon, close to the home of Dr Douglas Hyde. A strong friendship developed between the two men, which lasted throughout their lives, maintained by regular correspondence. The Hyde papers presented include family photographs showing Tom Morrisroe fishing and socialising with the Hyde family, indicating a close social relationship. The Morrisroe-Hyde papers include an extensive collection of letters in Irish from Douglas Hyde, who had taught Irish to Morrisroe, as well as material relating to Hyde's visit to the US to fundraise for the revival of the Irish language. The papers will join Lamhscribhinní de hÍde, 120 manuscripts gathered by Dr Hyde during the course of his folklore studies and other related material already held in the archives of the James Hardiman Library, NUI Galway. Tom Morrisroe joined An Garda Síochána and served in Mayo and later was stationed in Galway as Garda Sergeant until his death in a car accident in 1954. His daughters, Evelyn Morrisroe Connolly and Sr Bernadine (Breege) Morrisroe, were born and spent their early childhood on what is now the NUI Galway campus at Morrisroe House, current home to the University's Department of Philosophy. Evelyn now lives in Westchester, New York and Sr Bernadine is based in the Convent of Mercy, Dunmore, Co Galway. Speaking at the presentation of the Hyde papers to NUI Galway, Evelyn Morrisroe-Connolly said: I am so happy that these precious documents, which have been in my family's possession for more than fifty years have finally found a suitable home in the James Hardiman Library, which is not a stone's throw from where my sister and I played as children. My father and his beloved friend, 'An Craobhín Aoibhinn', enjoyed a life-long friendship which is reflected in the many letters written to my father from both Hyde's home in Frenchpark and Áras an Uachtaráin. Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, President of NUI Galway said: The presentation of the Morrisroe-Hyde papers renews the long-standing relationship of the Morrisroe family with NUI Galway. On behalf of the entire University community, I thank the Morrisroe family, and Evelyn Morrisroe Connolly in particular, for presenting these important Hyde papers to the James Hardiman Library. This donation will substantially enrich our Library's holdings relating to Douglas Hyde and the early years of the Irish language revival. Marie Reddan, Librarian, James Hardiman Library, NUI Galway said; We are delighted to receive this significant collection of historical correspondence which will complement existing material, including manuscripts the Library holds relating to Douglas Hyde. The Morrisroe-Hyde papers are an important primary resource for research into the social, cultural and political history of Ireland in the late nineteenth century.

Bailiúchán pháipéir Dhubhghlas na hÍde bronnta ar OÉ Gaillimh
Monday, 26 September 2005

€5m University campus officially opened in Gaoth Dobhair
Friday, 16 September 2005
Academic programmes will be language-centred, knowledge-based History was made in Gaoth Dobhair today (Friday 16 September), when the €5m NUI Galway Gaoth Dobhair campus, Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, was officially opened by Éamon Ó Cúiv, T.D., Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, in the presence of Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, President of NUI Galway. The ceremony also included the conferring of Diplomas on 75 students, who completed academic programmes at the Gaoth Dobhair campus and for the first time in Ireland, NUI Galway conferred Honorary Degrees outside the Galway campus. Tomás Mac Giolla Bhríghde, Mícheál Mac Giolla Easbuic and Máire Mhic Niallais, three remarkable Donegal individuals, were conferred with honorary MA degrees, in recognition of the exceptional contribution they have made to their communities. Tomás Mac Giolla Bhríghde, from Gaoth Dobhair, was honoured for his contribution to the creation of employment and the promotion of arts, culture and the Irish language in Gaeltacht areas. Mícheál Mac Giolla Easbuic, from Cill Chartha, for his contribution to community development and sports through the medium of Irish in Gaeltacht areas, throughout Co. Donegal and nationally. Máire Mhic Niallais, from Machaire Rabhartaigh, for her long-term interest in and exceptional contribution to the Irish language and community development in Gaeltacht areas. NUI Galway established an education centre in Gaoth Dobhair three years ago at the invitation of Coiste na Crannóige and Comharchumann Forbartha Gaoth Dobhair. Údarás na Gaeltachta invited the University to locate in a premises in the Gaoth Dobhair Business Park. NUI Galway carried out extensive refurbishments on the 2,500 square meters of a building leased to it by Údarás na Gaeltachta. The refurbished centre has received generous support from the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, making it a most modern education and technology facility. It is estimated that activities at this new campus will generate €2 million annually in the local community. A range of third level full-time and part-time programmes through the medium of Irish, are provided at the Gaoth Dobhair campus, including Diplomas in Television Skills, Applied Computing, a Child Care and Language Acquisition programme and programmes in Irish. Further programmes are being planned in Computing and Business Administration, Translation Studies and Business Technology. In the past year, 150 students completed programmes at the centre. NUI Galway also intends providing degree programmes in Gaoth Dobhair in the near future. Dr. Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, President of NUI Galway and Reachtaire of an tAcadamh said: "This is a special day for Donegal when the Gaoth Dobhair University campus celebrates its official opening and we are particularly delighted to honour the commitment to their Gaeltacht communities of three extraordinary people. The conferring of academic qualifications today also recognises the importance of delivering third-level programmes to communities in their own locality. "The University's commitment to the Irish language is exemplified in our strategy of bringing the classroom and the research lab to the Gaeltacht and by supporting those communities to achieve language-centred, knowledge-based, economic self-reliance. "This campus in Gaoth Dobhair is designed to empower the local community to engage in, and benefit from skills and learning, that are key to the development of a knowledge-based economy. University programmes delivered here will focus on the creation of sustainable employment, providing graduates with the opportunity of remaining in their native place and further strengthen the linguistic and technological infrastructure of the area." Mr Éamon Ó Cuív, T.D., Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs said: "The Government is totally committed to the enhancement of the status of the Irish language throughout the country as the first official language of the State. My Department and the Government have taken many initiatives in this regard. Amongst these is the enactment of the Official Languages Act, the establishment of the office of An Coimisinéir Teanga and achieving the recognition of Irish as an official and working language of the EU. All of these policies present us with tremendous challenges and opportunities. One of the challenges is to provide graduates who have a competence to work through Irish in a wide range of disciplines. "The development of 3rd level education through Irish is an important element of the work of my Department, the Department of Education and Science and Údarás na Gaeltachta. It is well recognised that centres of 3rd level education become magnets for growth in employment and the development of communities. For this reason, my Department and Údarás na Gaeltachta have supported the development of Gaeltacht 3rd level centres in An Cheathrú Rua, Carna and now in Gaoth Dobhair, under the aegis of NUI Galway. "I would like to congratulate NUI Galway for the very proactive role they have played and for their commitment and pioneering work in 3rd level education through Irish, particularly in the Gaeltacht, based on a policy of bringing education to the people rather than people to education. My Department looks forward to working in the future with the Department of Education and Science and with NUI Galway and other 3rd level institutions to assist in further developing this sector, which can contribute much both to the achievement of our national aims and to the future development of the Gaeltacht."

Friday, 16 September 2005
Beidh na cláir acadúla teanga-lárnach agus eolasbhunaithe D'oscail Éamon Ó Cuív, T.D., an tAire Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta, campas €5m de chuid OÉ, Gaillimh i nGaoth Dobhair, Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, go hoifigiúil inniu (16 Meán Fómhair), i láthair Uachtarán OÉ, Gaillimh, an Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh. Ina theannta sin, bronnadh Dioplóma ar 75 mac léinn a chríochnaigh cláir léinn ar champas Ghaoth Dobhair agus den chéad uair in Éirinn, bhronn OÉ, Gaillimh Céimeanna Oinigh taobh amuigh de champas na Gaillimhe. Fuair Tomás Mac Giolla Bhríghde, Mícheál Mac Giolla Easbuic agus Máire Mhic Niallais, céim oinigh MA. Triúr iad seo as Dún na nGall a bhfuil obair eisceachtúil déanta acu dá bpobail. Fuair Tomás Mac Giolla Bhríghde, as Gaoth Dobhair, céim oinigh as a bhfuil déanta aige le fostaíocht a chruthú agus ealaín, cultúr agus an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn sa Ghaeltacht. Fuair Mícheál Mac Giolla Easbuic, as Cill Chartha, céim oinigh as a bhfuil déanta aige ar son na forbartha pobail agus an spóirt trí mheán na Gaeilge sa Ghaeltacht, ar fud Dhún na nGall agus ar fud na tíre. Fuair Máire Mhic Niallais, as Machaire Rabhartaigh, céim oinigh as an tsuim a léirigh sí sa Ghaeilge le fada agus as an obair éachtach atá déanta aici ar son na Gaeilge agus ar son phobal na Gaeltachta. Bhunaigh OÉ, Gaillimh ionad oideachais i nGaoth Dobhair trí bliana ó shin ar iarratas ó Choiste na Crannóige agus Comharchumann Forbartha Ghaoth Dobhair. Thug Údarás na Gaeltachta spás don Ollscoil i bPáirc Ghnó Ghaoth Dobhair. Rinne OÉ, Gaillimh athchóiriú ar an bhfoirgneamh 2,500 méadar cearnach atá ar léas acu ó Údarás na Gaeltachta. Tá an-tacaíocht faighte ag an ionad ón Roinn Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta, rud a fhágann gur ionad oideachais agus teicneolaíochta nua-aimseartha é. Meastar go gcruthóidh na gníomhaíochtaí ar an gcampas nua seo €2 mhilliún gach bliain don phobal áitiúil. Cuirtear réimse clár lánaimseartha agus páirtaimseartha tríú leibhéal ar fáil trí mheán na Gaeilge ar champas Ghaoth Dobhair, ar a n-áirítear Dioplóma i Scileanna Teilifíse, Ríomhaireacht Fheidhmeach, Clár Cúram Leanaí agus Sealbhú Teanga agus cláir sa Ghaeilge. Tá cláir eile á bpleanáil i Ríomhaireacht agus Riarachán Gnó, Staidéar an Aistriúcháin agus Teicneolaíocht an Ghnó. Le bliain anuas, chríochnaigh 150 mac léinn cláir oideachais san ionad. Tá rún ag OÉ, Gaillimh cláir chéime a sholáthar i nGaoth Dobhair go gairid. Bhí an méid seo a leanas le rá ag an Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, Uachtarán OÉ, Gaillimh agus Reachtaire an Acadaimh: Lá speisialta é seo do Dhún na nGall agus oscailt oifigiúil champas Ollscoile Ghaoth Dobhair á cheiliúradh againn. Tá an-áthas orainn céimeanna oinigh a bheith á mbronnadh ar an triúr iontach seo as an obair eisceachtúil atá déanta acu ar son na Gaeltachta. Tugann bronnadh na gcáilíochtaí acadúla seo inniu aitheantas don tábhacht a bhaineann le cláir tríú leibhéal a chur ar fáil i gceantar na ndaoine féin. Tá dílseacht na hOllscoile don Ghaeilge le feiceáil inár straitéis trí a bheith ag tabhairt an seomra ranga agus an tsaotharlainn taighde chuig an nGaeltacht agus tacú leis na pobail neamhspleáchas eacnamaíoch trí chruthú fostaíochta atá eolasbhunaithe agus teanga-lárnach. Cuirfidh campas Ghaoth Dobhair ar chumas na bpobal áitiúil scileanna a fhoghlaim ar mhaithe le geilleagar eolasbhunaithe a fhorbairt. Díreoidh cláir ollscoile an Ionaid seo ar fhostaíocht inmharthana a chruthú, rud a thabharfaidh deis do chéimithe fanacht ina n-áit dúchais agus cur le hinfrastruchtúr teangeolaíoch agus teicneolaíoch an cheantair. Dúirt an tAire Gnóthaí Tuaithe, Pobail, agus Gaeltachta, Éamonn Ó Cuív, T.D., an méid seo a leanas: "Tá an rialtas seo tiomanta go huile agus go hiomlán do stádas na Gaeilge mar chéad teanga oifigiúil, a chur chun cinn ar fud na tíre. Is iomaí sin beart curtha i gcrích ag an Roinn agus ag an Rialtas lena mbainim, i dtaca leis an tiomantas sin. Orthu siúd tá, achtú Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla, bunú oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga, agus stádas oifigiúil a bhaint amach don Ghaeilge mar theanga oifigiúil agus mar theanga oibre san AE. Níl a fhios na dúshláin agus na deiseanna a eascraíonn as na beartais seo. Ar cheann de na dúshláin sin tá, céimithe a chur ar fáil i raon leathan disciplíní – céimithe a bheidh inniúil ar a gcuid oibre a dhéanamh trí mheán na Gaeilge. "Is gné thábhachtach de chuid obair na Roinne Gnóthaí Tuaithe, Pobail agus Gaeltachta, na Roinne Oideachais agus Eolaíochta, agus Údarás na Gaeltachta forbairt na hollscolaíochta Gaeilge ar an tríú leibhéal. Tá a fhios ag an saol Fódlach gur as institiúidí tríú leibhéal a eascraíonn fás na fostaíochta agus forbairt an phobail. Is ar an ábhar sin a thacaigh an Roinn Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta, agus Údarás na Gaeltachta, le forbairt na n-ionad tríú leibhéal Gaeltachta ar an gCeathrú Rua agus i gCarna. Is ar an ábhar céanna atáthar ag tacú anois le hionad seo Ghaoth Dobhair, faoi choimirce Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. "Is maith liom comhghairdeachas a dhéanamh le hOllscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, as an ról forghníomhach a d'imir sí, as an tiomantas atá léirithe aici, agus as an obair cheannródaíoch atá déanta aici i réimse na hollscolaíochta Gaeilge, go háirithe sa Ghaeltacht. Obair í seo atá bunaithe ar an tuiscint sin gur chóir an t-oideachas a thabhairt i láthair na ndaoine seachas na daoine a thabhairt i láthair an oideachais. Is fada leis an Roinn go dté sí ag saothrú arís leis an Roinn Oideachais agus Eolaíochta, agus le hOllscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, agus le hinstitiúidí tríú leibhéal eile, le cúnamh a thabhairt le tuilleadh forbartha a dhéanamh ar an earnáil seo, earnáil a bhfuil sé d'acmhainn aici cur go mór le baint amach aidhmeanna náisiúnta na tíre agus le forbairt fhadtréimhseach na Gaeltachta."

Conference to challenge Western stereotypes of Islam on 4th anniversary of 9/11
Wednesday, 7 September 2005
Reframing Islam: Politics into Law, 10-11th September, Irish Centre for Human Rights, NUI Galway Some of the most influential writers and thinkers on Islam will travel to Galway this week to address and recapture the debate on the social, political and religious dimensions of Islam. They will be attending a conference on "Reframing Islam: Politics into Law," which will be hosted by the Irish Centre for Human Rights in the Arts Millennium Building at NUI Galway on Saturday and Sunday, the 10-11th September. Sunday is the fourth anniversary of 9/11. Speakers will include a leading Iranian activist, imprisoned in Tehran for criticising the regime and an acclaimed Islamic scholar recently refused entry to the US by Homeland Security. The conference aims to challenge and move beyond the stereotypes that currently grip the discourse on Islam—terrorism, enforced democracy building, Islamophobia, and militant regimes. Topics to be addressed include: challenges to the Muslim world post September 11th, the question of democracy in Islam, rights of non-Muslims in Islam, human rights and Islam, women within Islam, and specific regional challenges and attempts to create a civic Islam. The conference will explore what Islamic political thought is, and how it originated, developed and changed over the past 1400 years, and particularly since 2001. Dr Kathleen Cavanaugh, of the Irish Centre for Human Rights, NUI Galway and conference director said: It is a great privilege for the Irish Centre for Human Right to welcome the pre-eminent writers and thinkers in the Muslim world to NUI Galway, to debate critical issues facing Islam and current Western liberal perceptions of Islam. There is an urgency to begin to reframe the debates and the narratives that have enveloped the discourse on Islam, especially post September 11th—the twinning of Islam and violence, the arguments that there cannot be faith in democracy, the notion that there is a 'clash of civilizations.' This conference hopes to provide a space that goes beyond the idea of right thinking and wrong thinking and to lend some empirical and theoretical weight to the current debate on Islam. Dr Cavanaugh went on to say that change and reform within Islam, grassroots in origin, is underway and, as one commentator has noted is, "Islam's best kept secret." Change can be charted in countries such as Malaysia, Morocco and Turkey where civil society (informing political establishments) have endeavoured to address questions of democracy, gender equality and reinforcing and nourishing a vibrant civil society. Yet these changes and challenges are off the radar. This conference will attempt to refocus and reframe the debate on Islam, looking beyond the current 'face of Islam' to what is actually happening within Islam—which is both multifaceted and complex and often contradictory, i.e., moderate to extreme, reform to regressive, she said. Amongst those addressing the conference will be: Professor Tariq Ramadan, recently appointed (August 2005) by Tony Blair to a UK government taskforce attempting to root out Islamic extremism in Britain, is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, founder, in 1928, of the Muslim brotherhood. Dr. Ramadan lectures at academic institutions and civic organizations around the world. He has authored and co-authored over 20 books and over 700 articles. Through his writings and lectures, he has contributed substantially to the debate on the issues of Muslims in the West and Islamic revival in the Muslim world. He is active both at the academic and grassroots levels, lecturing extensively throughout the world on ethics of citizenship, social justice, and dialogue between civilizations. Dr Tariq Ramadan taught Islamic Studies and Philosophy as a professor at Freiburg University in Switzerland for many years. Regarded as one of the most important voices in Islam, Dr Ramadan was not allowed enter the United States in 2004, to take up his post as Professor of Religion Conflict and Peacebuilding at the University of Notre Dame. Dr Mohsen Kadivar is a cleric and activist in Iran. Kadivar was arrested for the first in 1978 and 20 years later, the unconstitutional Court of Iran found him guilty of campaigning against the Islamic Republic, because of the statements he had made in an interview where he argued that acts of terrorism are condemned in the eyes of the Shiite faith. He was sentenced to spend 18 months in Evin Prison, Tehran, and was released on July 17, 2000. He is still campaigning for the reform of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Dr. Muqtedar Khan is Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations, at the University of Delaware. Author of many books, including American Muslims: Bridging Faith and Freedom (Amana, 2002), Jihad for Jerusalem: Identity and Strategy in International Relations (Praeger, 2004), Dr Khan frequently comments on BBC, CNN, FOX and VOA TV, NPR and other radio and TV networks. His political commentaries appear regularly in newspapers in over 20 countries. Dr. Jillian Schwedler is Assistant Professor of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland and has conducted extensive field research in Egypt, Jordan, and Yemen. She has travelled to Lebanon, Turkey, Qatar, Syria, Israel/Palestine, and more than two-dozen countries outside the Middle East. She is currently Chair of the Board of Directors of the Middle East Research and Information Project (MERIP), publishers of the quarterly journal Middle East Report. In 2002, she was elected Secretary of the Palestinian American Research Centre (PARC). Dr. Schwedler s current research interests include protests and policing, political Islam, social movements, democracy and democratisation, identity, political culture, and transnational public spheres.

Students at the core of all University activity
Monday, 24 October 2005
"Students are at the core of everything NUI Galway does, from the provision of top-class facilities to promoting research, from recognising the importance of teaching to fostering social inclusion and encouraging diversity", stated Dr Iognáid Ó Muircheartaigh, President of NUI Galway at the first of a series of conferring ceremonies today (Monday), that will see more than 4,000 students graduate by the end of the week. NUI Galway campus has experienced major infrastructural development with the investment of €200 million in new buildings. Dr Ó Muircheartaigh announced further developments, which include the imminent openings of the €16 million J.E. Cairnes Graduate School of Business and Public Policy and a €23 million Nursing and Therapies Building. Plans are at an advantaged stage for a proposed €55 million Engineering School and a major €21 million Sports Centre will commence in Spring 2006. During this week's conferring ceremonies, Dr Ó Muircheartaigh will also present the inaugural President's Awards for Teaching Excellence, in recognition of the many dedicated and inspirational teachers among Academic Staff, whose outstanding efforts ensure that students of NUI Galway receive the highest quality learning experience. Referring to NUI Galway's significant success in attracting research funding, which has amounted to €100 million since 1999, Dr Ó Muircheartaigh said this had enabled research centres to be established on campus which will "provide post-graduate opportunities for many of this week's graduates, opportunities which previously would only have been available abroad." He went on to urge the Government "to continue to invest in this research and education infrastructure, so that generations of graduates will have a future of economic prosperity and opportunity." Dr Ó Muircheartaigh stressed NUI Galway's commitment to social inclusion, saying that the University is "continuing to develop and expand educational programmes to enhance access for the widest population from the regional level to the international level." Through Adult Education and life-long learning opportunities, and through Access and Foundation courses for both school leavers and mature learners, especially for less advantaged students, NUI Galway continues to support the education needs of the wider population. The growing participation of students from abroad which brings increased cultural diversity to the campus, is an important dimension of student life and Dr Ó Muircheartaigh said that the recently established International Scholarship Programme, would enable talented students from the developing world to undertake post-graduate studies at NUI Galway.

Launch of Irish Universities Association
Wednesday, 19 October 2005
At a reception today, the Conference of Heads of Irish Universities (C.H.I.U), the representative body of the seven Irish Universities, announced the change of its name to the Irish Universities Association (IUA). Also unveiled was the organisation's new website www.iua.ie. The new name better represents the objectives of the organisation and its work on behalf of the seven universities. The IUA provides a forum for the Presidents and senior officers of the universities to identify the strategic challenges facing the university system and to agree on the policies and plans for tackling them and developing the sector. As well as representing the universities, the IUA has undertaken substantive work on behalf of the universities in areas such as the following – Establishing expertiseireland.com with the financial assistance of InterTradeIreland which now has online profiles of over 3,700 experts from the nine universities north and south, and a growing number from the Institutes of Technology. Operating the National Office for the Marie Curie Scheme –the most successful programme for Irish Research under the EU6th Framework Programme with funding of €42m already secured Setting up the Irish Researchers' Mobility Office & Portal with financial support from the European Commission and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. Speaking at the launch, Prof. Ferdinand von Prondzynski, President of DCU said: "The change of name is timely, and will allow us to focus our efforts more effectively. We know that Ireland's growth and competitiveness depends on the universities being effective and coherent in acting together. We know that universities are critical in securing a succesful economy, a vibrant cultural life and a stable society. The universities must improve the international ranking of the system, but also exercise leadership within Ireland during these challenging times." Professor von Prondzynski used this opportunity to call on action by the government to deal with the critical issue of university funding as recommended by the OECD Report published over a year ago. He stated: "The present financial position of the sector is totally unsustainable. It's a problem that can be solved, but it needs to be solved right now, not next year, not some time in the future". He said that the IUA will continue to work in partnership with the government, its departments and agencies, the European Commission and other stakeholders. He said: "The objective is to make Ireland a leading knowledge society. It cannot be done without us. We are here to help." Ends

NUI Galway to honour three individuals for their contributions to the Arts
Monday, 17 October 2005
NUI Galway will confer Honorary MA degrees next week on PJ Curtis, Pádraic Breathnach and Ollie Jennings for their outstanding contribution to the Arts in Ireland. The ceremonies will take place Monday 24th October and Tuesday 25th October 2005. PJ Curtis, broadcaster, author, record producer and lecturer, will be recognised for his significant contribution to many aspects of Irish cultural life throughout a career that has spanned 30 years. A native of Kilnaboy, County Clare, Mr Curtis has won numerous awards for his radio documentaries which include the 1980 ground-breaking 'The House of R&B', the first programme on Irish radio to regularly feature authentic Blues, Cajun, African and World Music. Having produced 53 albums, he has worked with Ireland's finest artists and as a music historian, has lectured at home and throughout the US. Mr Curtis will be conferred with an honorary MA degree on Monday, 24th October at 11.00am. Padraic Breathnach, will be honoured for his immense contribution to cultural life in Galway and Ireland. A fluent Irish speaker, Pádraic grew up in Carna, Connemara. As a student in NUI Galway, he was deeply involved with An Cumann Drámaíochta and Dramsoc, where he teamed up with Ollie Jennings in a series of groundbreaking cultural initiatives in and out of college. He worked with An Taibhdhearc and Druid Theatres and became the first manager of Galway Arts Centre, before co-founding Macnas with Ollie Jennings. As both performer and Artistic Drector, Padraic Breathnach became the most visable face of Macnas, which as well as presenting the annual Galway parade, toured the US and with U2, over 40 cities in Europe. Macnas represented Ireland on the world cultural stage in Seville 1992 and was invited to usher in the new Millennium in New York in December 1999. As an actor, Pádraic has worked in several films and television programmes and now presents his own arts programme 'Soiscéal Phádraic' on TG4. Pádraic Breathnach will receive his honorary MA degree on Tuesday, 25th October at 11.00am. Ollie Jennings will also be honoured for his outstanding contribution to the Arts in Galway and Ireland. He worked alongside his friend Padraic Breathnach from his student days at NUI Galway, developing the Arts Festival into one of the most innovative and outstanding arts and cultural events in Europe. The two are synonomous with Galway's cultural renaissance in the last three decades. This artistic relationship was strengthened further when they co-founded the Macnas group. Ollie continued to develop and guide both organisations until 1990 when he joined the Sawdoctors as manager. Jennings will be conferred with an honorary MA degree on Tuesday, 25th October at 2.00pm.

NUI Galway establishes Cross Border links in extension of Medical Education
Monday, 17 October 2005
NUI Galway's Medical School is to join forces with the University of Ulster to provide increased opportunities for medical graduates in the north-western area. Proposed developments at the University of Ulster, focussed on its Magee campus in Derry will provide further impetus for the extension of healthcare education in the region. The Medical School at NUI Galway has also established links over many years with Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry and this has resulted in the formation of the western region education network incorporating all hospitals in the West and Northwest. With the expected permission of the State and the Higher Education Authority, NUI Galway intends to introduce graduate entry from 2006, doubling the number of places in its Medical school. It is the intention of the University that this development will provide places for 50 graduate students and 100 undergraduates annually. Graduate students will have an honours degree and will follow a four-year programme, in place of the six-year programme undergraduate students must complete and the University will continue to admit overseas students. "Clinical placement is crucial to medical education and while substantive links exist with affiliated hospitals in the Western region, there is potential for significant additional capacity at a clinical level for students in the these hospitals including Letterkenny, Sligo, Roscommon, Portiuncula and Castlebar," says Dr Phillip A Carney, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, NUI Galway. The Faculty encompasses a School of Nursing and a School of Therapies, and it is anticipated that by 2007, it will accommodate over 1,400 students. St. Angela's College, Sligo has recently become a constituent college of NUI Galway and the University is also uniquely placed in that it is the only university within the EU-designated Border, Midlands and West (BMW) area. Dr Carney said: "NUI Galway and the University of Ulster believe that the provision of suitable doctors for the BMW region as well as the western half of Northern Ireland may best be achieved by expanding medical education opportunities in the locality. It has long been recognised that graduates in any discipline from a particular university are more likely to seek employment in the area where they are educated. A further benefit of a conjoint approach by the two universities to undergraduate medical education will be the development of cross-border research programmes, which will lead to more effective patient care in the region enhancing opportunities for continuing professional development for all professional groups in the Health Services in both institutions". The University of Ulster's commitment to enhancing the provision and quality of professional healthcare education in the North West was emphasised by Professor Bernie Hannigan, Pro-Vice Chancellor. "We are delighted to work closely with NUI Galway,' said Professor Hannigan. 'Improved medical education will bring many benefits to the standards of care available in the region and will be a new and important focus for economic development. Effective partnerships, both among universities and the health sector across the North West are essential for success." Ends

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at email@example.com.
Weyerbacher are no strangers to experimentation. Their regular lineup is fairly eclectic, their anniversary beers are giants, and they have long had a series of offbeat brews only available at their brewery in Easton, PA. Tarte Nouveau, however, marks the first time they've played with the somewhat unusual berlinerweiss style. Coming in at a miniscule 2.9 percent ABV, many beer drinkers will look right past this one. Their loss. This light yellow beer tells you it's different from the first time your nose passes close to the glass, giving off a sharply tart aroma tinged with wild grass. A sip of the light body reveals lemon-touched sourness, fruity yeast undertones, and a little bit of Earthy funk. A dry, tart finish closes out each sip with a snap. This is a beer built for warm days. You're likely to see this one just once, so grab it while you can at Sidecar.

Keep those pics coming! I am down to 14 days from today!!
I just switched our stay to the Poly yesterday AM and I have been coming back here to look at all of your pictures.
I can't wait!!!!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful trip MS! We nearly always stay Poly concierge and are so spoiled by the resort we don't go anywhere else! Love seeing all the pics! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I can't wait!!
great pictures.....
Thanks mrincredible! I love posting (and taking photos) but I will have to wait a few days before posting more, photobucket is telliing me I am close to reaching my bandwidth limit
WOW! This thread is fantastic! We are booked mid-January for the Poly for our first ever trip for more that one day or staying onsite (inlaws in Merritt Island so we've been over to MK for the day). This has been a dream of mine since I first went as a little girl, and it will be a Christmas surprise for my children, so I'm not sure it's possible for me to be more excited! Seeing your beautiful pictures has certainly heightened my anticipation however! Thanks so much for sharing, and please do keep up the great work! I will be back regularly until we go so I can get a "fix"!
Me too! In 1981, I stayed at the CR with my parents, but every time we rode the monorail through the Poly it looked so amazing. I think we even went to the Luau. Would it have been running then? Anyway, during that first trip over 26 years ago I decided that someday I would stay at the Poly. I am working on making that dream come true!
google *********** for the unofficial disney poly site. this is a great place to learn about poly. we used this site to research before booking stay at poly. great info.
woops......guess not suppose to know about this web site.
I love this site. You guys are great!
Poly is my favorite resort, and the only one I will stay at. Thanks for the pics and the building excitement for my trip in 318 days
Hi! I think we live near each other!
I am sooooo excited for you!!! I have been in love with the Poly ever since I first went there in the mid-70's! What an amazing surprise for your kids!
We were probably there at the same time ! I was spellbound by the Poly, too. You could swim in the beach then (useless trivia). Yes, the Luau opened in 1973, so you very well may have seen it in 1981! I have stayed at the Poly several times since then, the love has rubbed off on my daughters, too! My wish, though, is to one day stay concierge level with an MK view! Hmmmmm, 15th anniversary is coming up....?
Pixie dust to you for dreams coming true!

Joseph Anton
by Salman Rushdie
Work details
Joseph Anton by Salman Rushdie
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The first part of this book is really interesting, a 4 out of 5 stars, but as I continued to read, it got worse. Much worse. The incessant name-dropping, the persistent self-promotion, the monolithic Islamist community, the blind spots to his character weaknesses and lack of introspection, the misogyny, chasing after 'crazy' women, the cliched "all I needed to see was the smile from my son's face", and did I mention the name dropping? UGH. I give it a 2 1/2 stars because although it only deserves two stars, I did learn a lot from this book. DO NOT BE LIKE THIS MAN.
There is a story in this book. There should be: Rushdie is a talented writer, and his memoir is not just about his time in hiding during the fatwa declared against him; it is also about the publishing world's response to political turmoil, and the international response to literary turmoil.
But it became too hard to keep track of that story; the book is stuffed, overstuffed, with dropped names. Only some of the many, many influential people Rushdie names connect to his survival of the fatwa -by writing in his support, or providing him with safe places to stay- and only a very few others were referenced as good friends. Most of the rest were just names, seemingly mentioned for the sake of being well-known people, never given personality (and often not even speaking parts), just accorded a moment in time and a setting. Maybe it reflects more on me than this book, but it became too frustrating to focus on dissolving marriages, loose-tongued security, and compromised safe houses, when every page was sprinkled with "These six people went to this chichi place, and so did I."
I think I would have finished, and bought, and read this book dog-eared had it been half its length, with the balance of size being the removal of most of the name-dropping. Maybe I will pick it up again in the future.
I enjoy the way Salman Rushdie writes. I find him very funny even when talking about serious subjects like the fatwah. My only criticism of this book was that I thought that he was "name-dropping" a bit much. I did not really care about how many famous authors he knows or who was at the parties he attended. None of this was important to the message of the book which was the difficulty of being hunted and threatened for ten years.
Thank you Goodreads and Random House for this giveaway!
What does feta cheese have anything to do with the fatwa? You'll find out, if you read this book.
This is a long book. It is all about Salman Rushdie and Joseph Anton. It is a memoir of the years the author/father/husband/lover/"infidel" lived under the threat of the fatwa that ordered his assassination.
So, if you do not like Rushdie, do not like detailed accounts of how books are published, lives are lived under the daily monotony of hiding out under security details, and how a man, a pretty well known writer, lives, writes, gets married, divorces, raised children, cheats on his wife, argues with Scotland Yard, politicians, journalists, other writers... Well, this book is not for you, I am afraid. Stay away.
Rushdie does Rushdie well, and if you like that, you will enjoy this book. He names names, he gives away lots of gossip, as most memoirs do, and perhaps should (otherwise, why not a biography instead?). He rants, writes imaginary (to religion, god, etc.) and real (to friends, MPs, etc.) letters, criticizes people, criticizes himself, makes excuses for his behavior, accepts his mistakes, argues that in certain things he was not wrong, thanks many people, and does all that the Rushdie way. As someone who is interested in publishing as an industry, and in writing and the lives of writers, I found Rushdie's account of the saga of the publication of the Satanic Verses and his following books fascinating. His account of the securities given in person by politicians and fellow writers, and the complete reversal of promises in public is fascinating. His account of the ramifications of the fatwa, his continued career, and his troublesome travels on international politics is fascinating.
For those interested in Indian, Turkish, British, and American politics, the events of the fatwa years have many interesting intersections with the major events of the political lives of these countries and beyond.
For those interested in freedom of speech and the right of artists and writers and anyone, really, to create works that question, criticize, scrutinize, and speculate about religion (and leaders of religions), politics (and politicians), and human actions, this is perhaps one of the must-reads of the century. If you have read things about Rushdie and the Satanic Verses from news sources, essays written by others, and other books, you should give the author a chance to argue his freedom and creation. Especially if you are aware that most news sources distort the truth and many who speak out have agendas of their own, and obtaining an unbiased opinion about people and even books is, well, impossible, then you should hear the biased opinions and arguments of Rushdie to get a better picture of what happened and why.
For me, perhaps the most interesting parts of the book were those in which Rushdie argues how the practice of a religion cannot be thought of as a separate entity from the religion itself. Having had this argument with strong believers of religions myself, I can say that it is good to hear an eloquent voice arguing on my side. I can also say that it is a losing battle. I am glad Joseph Anton is finally dead, but there will be many others who live/die for the same reasons.
Joseph Anton, Salman Rushdie's memoir of the years under the fatwa is remarkable for a number of reasons and one of these is - how long ago this all seems. How much the terrorist threat has moved on from individual threats to individual writers to the situation today. Mr Rushdie's fatwa almost seems a reminder of gentler times - although not of course to Mr Rushdie
Mr Rushdie has four main aims in his memoir. The first is to lionise those of his friends, associates, and members of the public who behaved generously and well when he needed help. This he achieves. The second is to excoriate heavy handed and authoritarian security services that imposed draconian and expensive security regimes on him, and the lily livered governments refusing to defend citizens under threat. This he also achieves, although its probable that this heavy handedness was caused by over caution rather than malevolence; and Mr Rushdie seems to forget sometimes that governments have a duty to all citizens and not just him. The third is to rage against those who he thinks overtly or subconsciously, supported the would be murderers. This is understandable, and there are a number of public figures (such as John Le Carre) who don't come out of this looking very good
His fourth objective is to talk about the impact on his various marriages over the fatwa. For sure the fatwa would have placed enormous pressures on all concerned, but in truth Mr Rushdie doesn't come out of this very well. Its not necessary to like an author personally to admire his work, or to support his right to free speech and a normal life. However it has to be said that Mr Rushdie comes across as a less than likeable person. He comes across as self absorbed, arrogant and with a nasty streak - surely it is sufficient, for example, to explain that his wife, Marianne Wiggins, was depressed because her book John Dollar was selling poorly. Is it really necessary to twist the knife by saying she had sold 23 copies? Thats just malicious .
Similarly, he spends much of the book being generous in his praise of the way his first wife, Clarissa, dealt with the threat and her support for their son, Zafar. But then he ruins it by claiming that she demanded $150,000 additional settlement years after their divorce. Their are two sides to every story like this - and Clarissa is no longer alive to give her side of it. Rushdie brings it up AGAIN, when describing the final days of her struggle against cancer. Its just unnecessary, and only possible for someone who really doesn't have much empathy for others
None the less its an interesting memoir of an almost forgotten time. It could be have used more editing, and less name dropping, but still interesting. And I look forward as eagerly as ever to his next work of fiction
Mr. Rushdie has written a memoir that chronicles those years in hiding — a memoir, coming after several disappointing novels, that reminds us of his fecund gift for language and his talent for explicating the psychological complexities of family and identity. Although this volume can be long-winded and self-important at times, it is also a harrowing, deeply felt and revealing document: an autobiographical mirror of the big, philosophical preoccupations that have animated Mr. Rushdie's work throughout his career, from the collision of the private and the political in today's interconnected world to the permeable boundaries between life and art, reality and the imagination.

On February 14, 1989, Salman Rushdie received a call from a journalist informing him that he had been "sentenced to death" by the Ayatollah Khomeini. It was the first time Rushdie heard the word fatwa. His crime? Writing a novel, The Satanic Verses, which was accused of being "against Islam, the Prophet, and the Quran." So begins the extraordinary story of how a writer was forced underground for more than nine years, moving from house to house, with the constant presence of an armed police protection team. Asked to choose an alias that the police could use, he thought of combinations of the names of writers he loved: Conrad and Chekhov: Joseph Anton. How do a writer and his family live with the threat of murder for over nine years? How does he go on working? How does despair shape his thoughts and actions, and how does he learn to fight back? In this memoir, Rushdie tells for the first time the story of his crucial battle for freedom of speech. He shares the sometimes grim, sometimes comic realities of living with armed policemen, and the close bonds he formed with his protectors; of his struggle for support and understanding from governments, intelligence chiefs, publishers, journalists, and fellow writers; and of how he regained his freedom. What happened to Salman Rushdie was the first act of a drama that is still unfolding.--From publisher description.… (more)

Thanks that cleared up a lot of questions.
So could I get the tax stamp before I purchase a suppresser or do I have too do it at the same time. Do I have to get one for each C3 item?
Each item is taxed separately. The serial number of the item is required in the application. You generally go through a dealer, purchase the item, file the paperwork with ATF, pick up the item from the dealer when the tax stamp comes in.
So each item is a extra $200.

Voice Recognition Ready for Consumer Devices
This looks like the year that voice recognition finally reaches the mainstream. Motorola unveiled "Mya, the 24-hour talking Internet" at the Oscars. Tellme.com and other startups are deploying voice portals that accept speech commands and read web content over a standard telephone. The latest Jaguar allows drivers to adjust the climate and sound systems using their voice.
Most of these services run on remote servers or PCs where plenty of processing power is available. But the Jaguar example is telling: CPU performance has reached the point that even an inexpensive embedded processor can perform useful voice recognition. Over the next few years, voice will become a common interface in a variety of non-PC devices, many of which will be running Linux.
Until recently, voice recognition required each user to train the system to recognize his or her particular speech patterns. Like most other software, however, voice recognition improves given faster processors and more memory. Recent products reduce training time dramatically. Speaker-independent software eliminates training entirely. To achieve highly accurate speaker-independent recognition with moderate processing requirements, designers must limit the context and vocabulary of the application. For example, a car needs to recognize only a few dozen words, including "temperature", "radio", and the numbers needed to select a station.
Lernout & Hauspie (http://www.lhsl.com/), a leading supplier of voice software, supplies speech engines for applications as simple as these, as well as far more complex ones. According to Klaus Schleicher, a director of product management at L&H, the simplest speech engine provides speaker-independent recognition of up to 100 words, but requires less than 200K of memory. L&H offers a more-powerful speech engine that can recognize up to 1,000 words, again without training. This engine requires 2MB of memory and can run on a 200MHz processor. This hardware costs a bit more, but is still easily obtainable for $30 today, and that price will drop over time. The larger vocabulary is suitable for applications such as a TV set-top box that can be programmed by speaking the name of a show or a hand-held PDA that can manage calendars and address books via voice.
Composing arbitrary text, such as an e-mail message, requires a much larger vocabulary. For this purpose, L&H has a speech engine with a 20,000-word vocabulary—twice as large as the average adult's. This engine requires some training, but only about five minutes per user. Even this large vocabulary doesn't require a full-blown PC or server; the company has demonstrated it using a 200MHz StrongArm processor and 32MB of memory. This speech engine could be incorporated into a webpad, allowing users to compose e-mail and other documents without using a keyboard.
One problem is that these speech engines are still not 100% reliable. The smaller the vocabulary, the smaller the error rate—after all, there are fewer words to confuse. In addition, a "command and control" application has natural opportunities to seek clarification. For example, if the user says "Turn off the TV" in a noisy room, the system might respond "I didn't understand that; please try again" or "Do you want the TV off?" In these limited-domain applications, the software actually interprets the voice input to determine its meaning, in this case, to turn off the TV. One possible interpretation of the input phonemes might be "turnips are meaty", but the software would quickly discard this possibility as irrelevant in the context of controlling the television. This intelligent interpretation is called natural language processing (NLP). The combination of good voice recognition and a well-programmed NLP back end can produce a reliable system.
A working example is MIT's Jupiter system, a conversation interface for weather information built by the university's Spoken Language Systems group. You can call it (1-888-573-8255, but it is often busy) and ask about the weather anywhere in the U.S. or around the world. It uses a 500MHz Pentium III PC running Linux, but it hasn't been optimized to reduce CPU overhead. Jupiter has a vocabulary of about 2,000 words and is very usable. Text dictation, however, has a much larger vocabulary and an unbounded content domain: an e-mail message could have any subject matter, even turnips. NLP for this application is much harder and generally limited to putting nouns and verbs in the right places. After dictating a few hundred words into even the best speech engine, a user is likely to have to go back and correct at least a dozen errors.
Thus, for applications where a keyboard is available and the user can type reasonably well, typing is likely to be the most efficient interface for the foreseeable future. But L&H's Schleicher says, "the human voice is the most natural user interface for communication and computing on a variety of devices." For command and control applications in cars, information appliances, set-top boxes and even PCs, voice recognition is an excellent interface. The hardware just needs the right programming—and the sound of your voice.

absolute perfection
This was the absolute perfect girls weekend get-a-way. The house is clean, well managed, and decorated perfectly for the setting. It has the most amazing tiki bar area, and great views out the back. I hope to stay again - it was a memorable trip. Diane was very attentive to any questions I had and was quick to respond to all communication.
A beautiful home
Villa Tamara is a beautiful house in Cape Coral. We were two familys of 8 people and it was perfect. We caugth catfish from the dock. The kids just loved it. We used the pool a lot and the barbecue. Villa Tamara had it all, free Wi-Fi, great drinking water, all the accessory to cook. If you find the alternativs roads it doesn't take that long to drive to Ft Myers, Naples and so on. The property was very clean and even better than the lovely photos. The property manager and the owners were very helpful. We will recommend this property to all friends and family. Thank you for a great vacation on the west coast. Johan-Mia-Pontus-Marcus from Jönköping, Sweden Figge-Emma-Edvin-Oskar from Norrköping, Sweden
Perfection All Around
My family stayed at this lovely home for the second summer! My grandchildren asked if we could all live here. The home is perfectly appointed for the beach! It is comfortable, yet is lovely in its own style. The owners take great pride in making sure your every need is attended to. The home is updated with incredible style, yet allows you to feel every comfort possible. All you need when you arrive is clothing and food. Everything else is provided. My family has been coming to Boca Grande for over 30 years and there is no other place we would choose to stay on the island now that we have found this home away from home. Do not hesitate when choosing this home. It will not disappoint! All your needs are met, far above any expectation! If you are a gourmet cook, you will love this home as well!

samurai (sä´mōōrī´), knights of feudal Japan, retainers of the daimyo. This aristocratic warrior class arose during the 12th-century wars between the Taira and Minamoto clans and was consolidated in the Tokugawa period. Samurai were privileged to wear two swords, and at one time had the right to cut down any commoner who offended them. They cultivated the martial virtues, indifference to pain or death, and unfailing loyalty to their overlords (see bushido). Samurai were the dominant group in Japan, and the masterless samurai, the ronin, were a serious social problem. Under the Tokugawa shogunate (1603–1867), the samurai were removed from direct control of the villages, moved into the domain castle towns, and given government stipends. They were encouraged to take up bureaucratic posts. As a result, they lost a measure of their earlier martial skill. Dissatisfied samurai from the Choshu and Satsuma domains of W Japan were largely responsible for overthrowing the shogun in 1867. When feudalism was abolished after the Meiji restoration, some former samurai also took part in the Satsuma revolt under Takamori Saigo in 1877. As statesmen, soldiers, and businessmen, former samurai took the lead in building modern Japan.

I'm ready, to label my first beer and I'm just wondering what you all do to print yours. Do you buy generic labels and print at home? If so, what labels do you buy? Thanks for any help
Primary: Crystal Ave Milk Stout
Drinking: Cut Day Pale Ale, Yooper's Oatmeal Stout (with some extra roast)
I just print mine off with a laser printer and stick them on with some good 'ole elmers glue.
+1 to ^^^^. I've also seen some people (Revvy) utilize a "tag" label that slips over the neck. That way, there is no need to remove labels/glue again after the bottles are emptied.
"presentation" paper - a tad thicker and better quality, on an inkjet printer - then a spray of krylon clear to protect from condensation. I tried the "milk-as-glue" trick, but it really doesn't work for me near as well as a simple glue-stick.

What is this butterfly
Could you please tell me this butterfly's name ?
They're both swallowtails. The first one is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail I believe. The second is a spicebush swallowtail. Congratulations on your find!
I think the first one is not a Tiger Swallowtail since it does not have a dark stripes ... I think it could be a Giant. Spicebush swallowtails are usually pretty greenish/blue irridescent I believe... so I'm not sure its that. Maybe a female if it is a Spicebush because the males are definitely more greenish. I'm wondering if it could be a Pipevine?
Thank you for your answers. All my information said that the first one was a Giant swallowtail that's all and the second was all that was said was it to be black swallowtail. I will look up both of what you all said. Thanks again. I was really lucky to get their picture.
The second one is positively NOT a black swallowtail. Black swallowtails don't have the 'lunules' around the bottom edge, and they have a very distinct 'eye' that is, a red circle with a small black dot inside it, all enclosed by a black ring around the red circle - this 'drunk's' eye is at the lower part of the wings next to their body.
Your spicebush swallowtail looks to be newly emerged and is just gorgeous!!

Clems all sold out, help please!
I have been to several on-line nursery sites and all the Clems have a "sold out" notice. When do they usually offer Clems in the fall? I need 6-12 new ones and want to get them into the ground this fall. I am in the Kansas City area so if there is a nursery around here that anyone knows of that offers a good variety of Clems I would like that info too. The only ones I have found locally are the ones I already have. I would drive up to 30 miles. Thanks for any help you can share.
Trowelgal or Tina
I, too, want to add some clematis to my garden this fall. Brushwood Nursery located in PA will soon be updating their website with what they will have available to ship in September. I will be placing an order with them. By checking the link you can see what they sell, but all of them will probably not be available. I am not in any way connected with this company.
You can get reviews on them by going to Dave's Garden and checking under Watchdog.
Good luck. Jane
Here is a link that might be useful: Brushwood Nursery
I visited KC area late October last year and found a good selection of clematis at Soil Service Garden Center Nursery on Troost Ave. You might call and to find out what they still have available. 816-333-3232
Since we had visited Truman's Library I brought home 'The President'.
Have you tried Garden Crossings? I bought several things from them this year and was very impressed! I also am not affiliated with GC but was happy with them. You can look them up on Daves Garden Watchdog (they are in the top 30). The site still has a lot of clems for sale and they are available it looks like.
Happy clemming!
Try Klehms - looks like they are sold out of some, but many are still available. I've never gotten clematis from them, but last year ordered peonies from them and I was very impressed. I'm expecting 3 clematis from them any day now! Also, they've got great customer service.
Hope this helps; shipping isn't the cheapest, but seems comparable to other sites.
Here is a link that might be useful: Clematis at Song Sparrow
I bought several from a huge nursery last fall just east of KC, near Lee's Summit, I think. They had a large selection. Will check with my daughter this weekend for the name of the nursery. She gave me a huge clem from Suburban this year that I have not seen elsewhere. When I visit DD in Olathe, we go nursery shopping. Don't do malls...who needs clothes when you can buy plants instead!!!
Thanks for all your suggestions. Think I will be buying on line, the selection is so much better. After looking at Klehms Song Sparrow I think that's where I'll order. I want Vitacellas or Texensis varieties and they make a point of listing them so the buyer knows which is which. That detail is important when I am searching for only "species" clematis and not the hybrids. Thanks a lot LilGreenFrog.
Glad they had what you wanted! I got my three from them yesterday, and thought I'd share some pictures.
Note that the pots are as tall as my sink...
This is less roots than the first one I planted had...I was worried about getting these established before frost, but after seeing the roots I am no longer concerned.
And a note about unpacking - those little metal trellises aren't attached to the pots, only the plants. So DON'T use them as handles to pull the plants out of the box. I learned that the almost hard way!
Hi Lara,
Those do look healthy, thanks for sharing. I am going to place my order next week. I will be out of town Sept.15-19th so don't want them to arrive while I am gone. I have an area where they will vine up and will have help prepping that area on Monday when my neighbor friend comes over to help me prepare the site. Three willow bushes have to be dug out and put elsewhere so the clems will be able to climb and be noticed. Christopher is 18 and very strong so I hire him when I need muscle. He also mows my grass all summer. I do flowers, not grass:) I have so many plants to move around this fall that it will be a race to get it all done so they can establish in time. I will thoroughly mulch the new Clems so they won't suffer over the winter. They will be in a protected site with a wooden fence and my house on one side and the neighbor's house on the other so I am not too concerned about them making it through the winter. All the other Clems in my yard come back each year.
Do you have a lot of Clems? I think I have 16 that vine and also 4 that are integrefolias and don't vine. Soon I will have more! Also have an arbor leading to my backyard that has a variegated porceline berry vine and two clems on each side. I just love it! The Clems bloom in the spring then the P.B.V. takes off and right now it is full of the beautiful blue/purple berries.
Thanks again for your pictures of the nice sized plants and healthy root systems.
Hi All,
I ended up ordering from Silver Star Vinery and am very pleased. Wanted only species clems as in Viticellas or Texensis clems and found what I wanted there. Got Princess Dianas, Vineosa Violaceas and Huldines. They have arrived and look great! Tomorrow they go into the ground. This is a new area and I have high hopes for these three clems.
Thanks to all who responded to help me.
Hi trowelgal.
You write about species clematis. But all those, you have mentioned are not species. Species clematis are the ones that grow in nature. Those you mention are all hybrids, man made.
About wilt, it is mostly clematis from group 2(b)that gets wilt. But wilt is not always wilt (a fungus). Sometimes clematis witheres down, because their root system isn't developed fully, and just like other plants lets some leaves (stems) wither, to maintain water enough for the rest.But that is no reason to worry, they will come back, when their roots are enough developed.
Hi ingridkl,
The clematis books I have and web searches I have done all show that the viticella and texensis clematis varieties are species clematis, originally found in the wild. Do you have different information to share with me?
Sorry ingridld there is only one form of clematis viticella and texensis (unless you consider the Tarpley River form of texensis a separate species from the regular texensis)that are considered true species. There are hybrids of texensis such as Duchess of Albany, Gravetye Beauty,etc. and hybrids of viticella such as Black Prince, Blue Belle, Etoile Violette, Venosa Violacea, Huldine, etc, but there is generally considered only one true species called texensis and viticella.
Not sure what you meant then when you said "there are found several wild forms of texensis and viticella". This statement seems to imply to me that that you were saying that there are several species of both viticella and texensis. The wild forms are generally thought of as the species since they are found growing in the wild and therefore not cross-pollinated versus the hybrids which are ones generally found in cultivated gardens.
Any plant with a cultivar name, which is shown like this 'Name Here' is a hybrid not the straight species.
Clematis texensis is the species, Clematis texensis 'Princess Diana' is not. It is a cultivated variety or hybrid of the species.
In my garden here in the Pacific Northwest the viticella and texensis hybrids get powdery mildew every year but the Type II hybrids don't. The Type IIIs have grown much larger, faster though.
