Interview by Renate Publig
The dark velvety voice of José Cura is his trademark as well as his intensity in portraying roles. But the tenor is not only dedicated to opera.
- Mr. Cura, in your first recital at the Viennese Konzerthaus you will present songs from native country, songs which seem to be by of a rather wistful, melancholic character. Is this reflective tone typical for Argentinean songs?
Regarding the composers of this repertoire, we are talking about a generation of people who were descendants of immigrants, or even immigrants themselves. Today, the personality of the modern argentinean has changed, a lot of time has passed, but people of that former generation was very much affected by nostalgia, having to leave behind their lands, their beloved ones, in order to find their fortune in a foreign country. That "longing" is reflected in the music. But in the second half of the concert you will also hear joyful songs, not all tunes are sad!
- What does it mean to you to bring these songs to other countries?
I do this recital a lot, I've just given one in Budapest, in the new auditorium calle MUPA, with 2000 seats. It was completely sold out, so we had to add 100 seats on the stage itself. A wonderful atmosphere: myself and the pianist in the center and the public all around! Such a direct contact with the audience! This program, for the Viennese audience, is likely to be a different recital than expected by the Liederabend tradition. For such evenings a singer often chooses a repertoire based on his land, the country he comes from, therefore German-speaking people usually base their program on Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, etc. Generally talking, it's not common to have a recital of Argentinean classic music. I think the public in Vienna, which is eager for music, will find interesting to get to know songs and poetry so far away from the usual repertoire!
- How do you choose songs, what is more important, the lyrics or the beauty of the melody?
Both, but speaking about Lieder, I think the lyrics are very, very important. A great Liederabend is based on great poetry; it's that combination which makes a Liederabend so special. The music sometimes may even sound a little naïve, "naïve" in the real sense of the word, which is "innocent" and not "stupid". Contemporary music, when badly written, is sometimes uselessly complex and dissonant, even on words that don't need such artificial treatment. Some poetry requires simple, innocent music. It takes enormous courage to compose naïve music!
- There is a huge difference between singing an opera, with orchestra, colleagues, costumes, or a recital with a piano accompaniment. What do you like about recitals?
When you are performing in an opera, it is not you on stage, it's your character. You have to behave in ways you would never do as a private person. With Otello's psychology, for example, which I have performed recently here in Vienna, I have nothing in common. Of course it's my obligation as singer/actor to leave my personality in the hotel and bring on stage the character of Otello even if that goes against my moral. On the other side, a recital enables you to show a bit of your own persona, through the concept of the chosen program. It is you on stage, not anybody else, not a character. You have the chance to communicate with the audience directly, and this close up is very enriching. I have been having an artistic relationship with Vienna for about twenty years and, because after a recital you know much more about an artist, and the artist also learns more about his audience, I would have loved to do a recital here much earlier… Technically, it is much more difficult to sing a Liederabend than an opera. Nothing protects you: it is just you, your soul and the music. Also a song's recital allows you to sing in a softer voice; you can add much more colors to the words and the music. You don't have the athletic high notes of the opera to deal with, so all is more intime. This said, you must know that some times people are disappointed because you didn't sing an opera aria in a Liederabend, not even Nessun dorma as an encore…
- You also will present some of your compositions – is there a way to describe your style?
There's one thing that composers in the present must have in mind: After Johann Sebastian Bach, everything else is a comment. That phrase is not from me, but from Mozart. It points out that no matter what you do, there's nothing really fully new under the sun in terms of music: the geniuses have already done it all, or almost. On top of that, I think nobody needs new music from José Cura in the world, so it's not with that intention that I wrote these songs. The songs were composed in a very special periods of my life, the first two were written in 1995, the last two in 2006. The number six, the last but one song in the cycle, is also the last song I wrote and it was written in Vienna, when I was here for Don Carlo. Harmonically the music is very rich, with interesting melodies, but the main purpose of the songs is the extreme respect to Neruda. When you write music on the words of such an incredible genius, your music has to step under the word, every melody and harmony being the representation in music of the meaning of the poetry. In that sense the songs may surprise for not being hysterically contemporary, on the contrary, they are romantic, some of them dramatic, and they are never overwhelming the great poetry of Neruda
- You grew up in Argentina at times when democracy started to form after the military regime and when the country fought with unemployment and poverty. With a requiem and a Stabat mater, you set music to very profound texts. Are you a pensive person?
I am a very pensive person. Some people think singers to be like the character they portrays on stage. That happens to many persons whose career, whose work, is based on representing somebody else. A lot of people said about me many years ago that I was arrogant, which I'm not, it's the characters I portray, like Canio or Radames or Otello, etc, who's personalities are conflictive, not me… I am a very pensive and peaceful person. Today I'm turning 51. When you approach a certain age at which you are not old, but not young anymore, to be pensive, to have wisdom is one of the most beautiful things to achieve.
- Have your compositions of that time ever been performed?
No. The war was in 1982, I wrote the requiem in 1984 as an immediate reaction to the war. I never reopened the score since then, I cannot even tell what's in the music, I can't remember. Should it be performed one day, the big decision would be if to show it as it was, or if I completely re-edit it with the 30 years of life and musical experience I have gained since. I don't know. Perhaps two versions?
- You began your musical development as a composer and as a conductor. Does this knowledge of the structures of a score influence your interpretation of a character?
A lot. And not only the composing and the conducting, but also my constant curiosity in analyzing the text and acting in consequence. The interpretation of a role is an incessant process of research. So I am not angry when someone points out a mistake I might have made in such research. Getting to the bone inside a character is my characteristic as an artist and, I know, that with age an experience, I am becoming much more radical in my interpretations. I wouldn't be me if I wouldn't do it in order to be sure people will not be disappointed. I always have to ponder if I should or should not integrate my perceptions into the interpretations even at the risk of being criticized for it. I don't know it yet, but maybe sooner or later I will be making a nice compromise: being radical but balanced…
- Are you seeking for characters with multiple layers of personality in order to have the possibility of different approaches to the roles?
I think there are two ways of performing: One way is to be "just" a professional performer, relying on interpretations which have proved to be efficient in the past, not taking too many changes. (This is maybe a prudent thing to do. I admire in a way who can work like that. That does not only count for singers, but also for painters, sculptors, any artistic manifestation. It is important to remember that what we consider "Classic" or "Traditional" today, was once perceived as insurgent and disturbing). The other way is to go for research, experimentation, to try to do some fresh and new, to follow your ideals as an artist, as a human being, dreaming to take things to where you feel they could be going. Not in order to scandalize, not out of the cheap spirit of being controversial, but based on healthy and honest exploration. This is the only way to keep things moving.
- Singers sometimes complain about more and more directors hardly being able to read music. Does it happen to you that directors tell you what to do on stage while the music clearly demands something different?
That's a big issue. First of all, nowadays unfortunately there are less and less new productions. I consider myself to have been very lucky because I did so many new productions in my career, and I learnt a lot in them. Many young talented singers of the new generation do not get the same chance, they have to perform again and again in "repertoire performances", without the possibility of creating something new. This is in the long term very harmful. I have no problem working with anybody if they are well prepared. I used to make a comparison: When you dance with somebody who knows how to dance, you are very happy to relax and to be guided by that person, because that's the magic of dancing. But when you dance with someone who is again and again standing on your toes, you have to take a decision: Either you stop dancing, many does, and leave, or you take the guide yourself. I love to work with persons who are knowledgeable, prepared, professional. Then you can honestly say, "You take the lead, I am your instrument as a singer" (In the same way the orchestra is the instrument of the conductor). The problem is that today we find less and less of such "dancers", maybe because of the so-called "Wikipedia-generation": people who think that having read an article in tInternet makes them experts. The profession of the director is a dangerous one since a director can cheat very easily! As a singer you either sing or you go home, you cannot feign. That also applies to a conductor: If you are not good enough, the orchestra uncovers your deficiencies and you are in very big troubles. But as a director you can bluff easily. Many of these "geniuses of stage direction" have good assistants who do the job for them. Not to mention how fashionable is today to hide your lack of great ideas with a supposed to be contemporary approach to a piece. The so called Regie-theater is great when it's based on talent: Lots of new views were discovered thanks to it. But it is very bad when it becomes the excuse to cover the non-existence of good ideas.
- Conducting an opera gives you much more opportunity to "create" the piece than singing one part of it. On the other hand, a singer has other possibilities to "dive" into the emotion and to deliver it to the audience. Which side do you prefer and in which way?
Those really are two completely different approaches: The conductor has to put all his compassion, all his hot heart into the preparation of the piece. The rehearsals are the moment in which to take risks, where you may discover things. If you are too careful or conservative during rehearsals, you might miss out things, which would be a shame. But when the moment of performance arrives and the conductor is in charge, he has to be very vigilant, prudent and careful, because he is the main link, sometimes the only one, between the stage and the pit. In Vienna the orchestra is very high in level, so singers and orchestra can hear each other very well. But normally the orchestra pit is much lower, so singers and orchestra players do not hear each other very much, and of course they don't see each other at all. IN these cases, the only connection is the conductor. A singer, when he/she is a try artist, also makes researches during rehearsals and, of course, he/she also has then to be careful and professional during performances, as the conductor is: cold in his head and hot in his heart. But the added luck of the singer –I can tell because I live the best of both worlds– is to be in direct contact with the "flesh" of the drama. If you compare the performance with an act of love, singing is the moment you are actually making love: You are sweating, you are crying, bleeding, you are afraid, you have joy, to sing, portraying a character, it's a very physical experience.
- You often hold master classes for aspiring singers, so working with young singers is important to you?
I think working with young people is the only way we can ensure a stable future. As a father of three I can tell you I have my own experience at home! We live in very delicate times, both social and economical. This interview is not the moment to elaborate on that subject, otherwise it would be a very long one. The only way to pave the way for a better future is to help preparing now the generation that is going to be in charge, and to accomplish that, you have to give the best of you when you still can do it. I don't think is wise to keep your experiences just to yourself, to prevent others from stealing your originality. That's a very silly and very egoistic attitude. I try to pass on to young people insights that I have obtained, which work for me. I reveal to them my way of doing art, of singing, of conducting, of making music. But I ask them not to use my insights to imitate me, but as a tool to go for their own discoveries. One of my credos, which I always say to young people when I direct or conduct, is a great phrase from Oscar Wilde, who said: "Be yourself. Because everybody else is already taken." Nobody needs a clone! There is no reason to perform the same music, the same opera again and again, if not for the purpose of experiencing it through the filter of the personality of a different artist. It is wonderful to discover the new approaches that a piece, "passing" through a different human being (with other social or personal background, living in another time), can give. That is the great thing about art.
- Some pessimists say that opera and classical music in general is dying.
I don't believe it. Classical art will never die unless we kill it. If you put classical art under a crystal bell in order to prevent it from contamination, the air inside the bell will sooner or later be used up, suffocating that same Art you are trying to protect. The surviving of art depends on ALL of us, the artists, the audience, the journalists. After all, we are united by a wonderful thing, by music, so by facing each other with politeness and with respect we may keep art alive. When a journalist doesn't like my interpretation and points out what he dislikes in an educated way, I accept his/her professional point of view. Anybody with intelligence appreciates a respectful opinion. But when a journalist says, "I don't like this singer because he barks", then it is an ordinary and impolite opinion; completely unnecessary and worthless. The same opinion can be expressed with elegance and education. Respect is an important thing. It is as old as the world that most people mistake the expression "I don't like it" with the expression "It is not good". These two are not synonyms. It happens to every artist. Poor Van Gogh didn't sell a single picture in his live; he was considered to have no technique, no art, no this, no that, etc… Just think about what Van Gogh means to modern painting and take your conclusions!
- Missing financial resources are quite frequently held responsible for the decay of culture. Do you agree?
The question about the present economy killing culture is a very delicate one. To begging with, the theory that "less money leads to the destruction of individual culture" is not true. Anyone, even with little money, who wishes to get "culturized" can go to museums, to libraries, to performances where the ticket price is cheap, sometimes even free. The financial situation it is often used as an excuse. Take Vienna as an example: There is an incredible wide range of cultural propositions, museums, etc. Even at the Staatsoper, you can get very reasonable tickets if you want. Holding the economical crisis responsible for the "destruction of culture" cannot be accepted so easily: the crisis does not destroy the culture itself, but the business of culture. Money is needed to realize "certain" cultural projects; without financial means some projects cannot be implemented: this is the business in art. But has nothing to do with the fact that the poor economical situation is condemning a whole generation to a "lack of culture". it is maybe condemning a certain group of people to a "lack of business". But that's a whole other story. If you intend to make just money with art, opera for example, the same ten most popular operas have to be always performed and with the most popular singers of the moment, so tickets are sold well at the box office. This not bad and not good. Peace. But it has not to do, directly, with culture. It is just business. It is essential to distinguish between "just" Culture (with capital C) and Cultural Business.
- Mr. Cura, thank you so much for this highly interesting interview, and good luck with your recital at the Konzerthaus!
I hope to see many of my Viennese friends at the concert; it will be a very special evening for me. I don't know if Argentinean music will be to the taste of Viennese public, but I hope yes.

How to stop political robo calls: Vote for the opponent. My home has been invaded by an avalanche of automated calls asking for my vote for a variety of political candidates. I am on the national "Do Not Call" list (unbelievably, political calls are exempt from this law), pay for an unlisted phone number, and only use this phone for family emergencies (so I cannot shut it off).
I now listen to these unwanted calls long enough to jot down the name of the candidate that they are promoting, and then make sure to vote for their opponent in the election.

What treatments are best for urinary tract infections?
- Q: My friend had a urinary infection. Do you know any kind of medicine for that? She cannot go to the doctor because she doesn't have any insurance.
- A: A urinary tract infection (UTI) happens when bacteria that normally live in the intestines get into the urinary tract and cause an infection. The urinary tract includes the urethra, bladder, ureters (tubes from the bladder to the kidneys), and kidneys. When the bladder is infected, it can also be called cystitis. The bacteria enter the urinary tract by being spread from the anus to the urethra (where urine exits the body). In women, this distance is short and the bacteria can easily be spread by sex or by incorrect wiping. Symptoms of a UTI can include frequent urination, an intense urge to urinate, pain or burning when urinating, and a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Cystitis or bladder infection can progress up the urinary tract and lead to a more serious kidney infection. Symptoms of a more serious infection are fever, nausea, vomiting, back pain, and blood in the urine. A UTI should be properly diagnosed by your doctor, since some of these symptoms can also be present with other medical conditions. Since UTIs are caused by bacteria, they need to be treated with antibiotics that are available by prescription. Antibiotics fight bacteria in the body to help kill them. Proper treatment with antibiotics can help prevent cystitis from progressing to a more serious infection. Over-the-counter UTI treatments will only help the symptoms and will not treat the cause. These products are not antibiotics. They are urinary tract analgesics or pain relievers. UTIs can usually be prevented by following a few guidelines. First, drink plenty of water each day to keep urine moving through the urinary tract. Cranberry juice can help keep the urine acidic, which may keep bacteria from growing as easily. Make sure to wipe front to back. This sweeps bacteria away from the urethra. And urinate after sex to flush out any bacteria that may have entered the urethra during sex. Sarah Lewis, PharmD

I stayed for 3 days at Maxine's Inn on Lakeshore rd in Mississauga. I was looking for an afordable motel that would fit into my travel budget as I was going to tour Toronto and the surrounding areas. What I found at Maxine's Inn was more than I expected. My experience started with a very courteous front desk that not only greeted me warmly but gave me all the information I required on room rates and extended stay rates (which by the way were really affordable...my room with a fridge and cable tv and internet came out to 66 dollars total with taxes and all and a weekly rate was qouted to me for 275 and thats with tax). My room was SPOTLESS. I have stayed at 5 star hotels and I have not seen a sparking toilet until I stayed at Maxine's. The beds were comfortable and I loved the spot where Maxine's is located....its right next to Lake Ontario and from my room I could see the Lake and a wonderfull Park was just down the road where I could enjoy my picnic lunches right next to the Lake. My trip was a peacefull and relaxing one thanks to this wonderfull little jewel of a motel hidden by the Lake. I strongly suggest this Motel for all travelers coming into the GTA area. Its affordable,clean, quiet and just an overall amazing place.

Great customer service and the price couldn't be beat.

I travel a lot personally and for work and I have stayed at several motels in my life and this is among the best I have seen.
It is extremely clean and the room we had had wood floors.
I am one of those people that won't sleep somewhere if it isn't clean and if I don't feel safe. Location is off a main road, and room was everything you need for one night or a couple of nights. Service told me they have several long term stays so I am sure they are not over priced. I would recommend this place to my friends.
You would need to get there by car. Doesn't look like there is much options for public transit however.

I too have stayed for a long period of time, infact longer than just a month, try 8. I did not get the same experience at all. From my experiences in traveling, from hotels and motels, I would have to say I can't complain. It was very clean (not many motels are), the staff was very friendly and always on top of things. When a light was busted, they changed it right away. When I needed extra towels, they never kept me waiting long. They have an accessible laundry mat on the premisis which was so convenient for me, cable tv, access for wireless internet. For what it's worth, it worked out fantastic for me. On the statement of not having a microwave or fridge, I'm sure she knew that before she checked in, so why did she want to stay??? I was informed this at the beginning. I'm sorry but where in Canada can you stay and get those luxuries for that price now a days. They never said that I couldn't bring one if I needed on either. As for the calls, I never had a problem receiving them. Even when I had multiple calls at a time. She didn't make a valid point because how can she say they were jobs and housing when they were actually her "friends." I'm sorry but I've stayed there quite longer than this lady and I had no problems. Maybe she hasn't been traveling enough to differentiate what's a good motel or a bad one. This Motel worked out just fine for me!

I had a very pleasant stay at the Maxine Inn. I found the staff very polite and concerned with making my stay there a good one. It was VERY affordable and would gladly stay again.
Bad attitudesSubmitted by: A Travel-Library User in 14/07/08

I stayed for an extended period of time and was treated like a high school student. Considering the amount of money it cost me to stay for the month (1160.35) you would expect courtesy, none of which I received. Not only that, I had no fridge nor a microwave. When I began receiving necessary phone calls (for jobs and housing) they informed me that they "were not an answering service" and could I "please tell my friends to stop calling so often." The whole experience left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. I DO NOT recommend this hotel to anyone unless you enjoy being treated like a two year old.

Magazines Expand Business Models With Marketing Services, E-Commerce…and Matchmaking
NYMag.com partners with dating site HowAboutWe.com.
Personal ads, once a staple of the publishing industry, have gone to the wayside with the emergence of online dating sites, as well as classified ad prejudice (Craig's List, anyone?).
Depiction of "Want" ads have suffered greatly in the media – Sleepless in Seattle may have gave lonely hearts hope of meeting blue-eyed strangers through media in the 90's; but Lifetime's recent Craig's List Killer made-for-TV movie warns contemporary audiences against inter-Internet rendezvouses.
New York Magazine is attempting to bring the personal ad boom back into the mainstream of publishing by partnering with online dating site HowAboutWe.com. On NYmag.com, HowAboutWe.com is included in its editorial content, and "will feature Nymag.com's top navigation", according to a press statement. Located in the dating section, the site can be found at nymag.howaboutwe.com.
HowAboutWe.com users finish the phrase "How about we…" with an activity of their choosing, and other interested users can take them up on the suggested date if they decide to do so. The dating site was founded in 2010 in Brooklyn, New York.
As publishers struggle to keep their audiences engaged and advertisers buying across a multitude of platforms (print, in app, on the Web), more and more often services outside of content are being developed to strengthen business models.
For readers of print and users of digital, publishers continue to find new ways to fulfill needs and/or wants of their audiences. E-commerce is gaining speed with large publishing companies like Hearst, offering readers the chance to buy what they see on the websites and in the apps of their favorite publication.
Commerce entering editorial is extending into the print world as well, with publications like Lucky Magazine offering "text to buy" options below select products.
Now with New York Magazine's new partnership with HowAboutWe.com, looks as if users can not only purchase the season's newest accessories through editorial content, but find a date to wear them to. It'll be interesting to watch if this new faction of NYMag.com becomes "a lucrative source of revenue", as they claimed their former back-of-the-book classified section used to be.

Happy colour!
How beautiful is this?! Such a gorgeous thing to have, brighten up any dull, grey day. Looks like a fairytale journey to grandma's house. Made by loja de estar, hop over and have a look at the other beautiful things. I think I would have this on a wall or on top of the sideboard .... stunning.
I am also really liking this print by charmaineoliver over on Etsy. It has an ethereal feel about it. Almost like the Carnival has closed and the wildlife are allowed to play.
And I would just love this necklace, isn't it cute? Made by homako over on Etsy. Yes Please!!
So, Happy Monday... hope you are all feeling refreshed and ready for a good week. Let's ignore the weather and think happy colourful thoughts!

Trump Comments Overshadow Romney's Texas Win
By Ari Shapiro
Mitt Romney won the GOP presidential primary in Texas Tuesday night. By some counts, that gives him the last delegates he needed to formally secure the Republican nomination. He celebrated in Las Vegas with a campaign event and a fundraiser. But his victory was overshadowed by campaign surrogate Donald Trump who has a gift for finding the spotlight.

Product named Internet Phone, developed by VocalTec, was a pioneering product from two aspects: (1) It had the ability to do VoIP call over the bandwidth-starved public Internet of 1995, and (2) The developers of Internet Phone had to overcome the limitations of the hardware of that time which comprised of 486 based PCs and modems of 28.8 kbps speed.
Unique contribution here was to achieve real-time voice, including compression, with the standard PC hardware of 1995, and enable users to talk over public Internet in real-time. That was a major breakthrough that VocalTec achieved. Apart from Internet Phone, the first ever IP-PSTN breakout gateway was also introduced by VocalTec. The company demonstrated the first gateway at CT Expo in Los Angeles in the March of 1996.
There is no other company that can be associated with pioneering real-time voice over Internet. VocalTec was the first in introducing PC to PC VoIP client and hence is selected as one of the 10 organizations that established VoIP. There were other competing companies that were working on such projects who introduced similar solutions subsequently. These included Nuera, Net2phone, Cisco, Clarent, Vienna Systems etc.

I don't believe the New England Patriots. They lie.
Robert Kraft, the owner of the liars, went on NBC Sunday night and stated that he had no knowledge that Bill Belichick was brazenly videotaping opponents' signals from the sideline. I guess he missed the memo.
Wade Wilson, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback coach suspended for using HGH, also is confused. He has confirmed that he is attempting to get an explanation from the commissioner's office on the disparity in punishment between him and the Patriots organization. Wilson received a 5 game suspension for using HGH to treat his personal medical issues, while the Patriots were only fined and docked draft picks for illegally and repeatedly taping signals. To date, he still hasn't heard back.
And I assume Michael Vick, Chris Henry and other players sitting at home not collecting paychecks are confused as well. Not only was Belichick slapped on the hand, his owner rewarded him with the game ball and an extension through 2013. Belichick's owner effectively paid his $500,000 fine many times over, while the players who put the fans in the seats and sell the authentic replica jerseys are docked without a second thought.
If it doesn't seem fair, it's because it's not.

Eagle Shield High-Performance Reflective Coating™ is an excellent complement to Eagle Shield High Performance Reflective Insulation, applied where insulation is difficult to be installed such as metal roofs or uneven surfaces. Just like our High-Performance Reflective Insulation™, it is the only radiant coating on the market recognized by NASA and certified by the Space Foundation.
Eagle Shield is the only company in the market to offer this revolutionary product. Our unique benefits to home and building owners include:
- Improved comfort and lower energy costs
- The lowest emissivity of any reflective coating, with a rating of .19 versus an average of .25 for other radiant coatings. Low emissivity means higher reflectivity, keeping more heat out in the summer and retaining more heat in the winter.
High-Performance Reflective Coating blocks 80% of the sun's radiant heat.
When applied to building materials, Eagle Shield High-Performance Reflective Coating™ blocks 80% of the radiant heat from entering a home or building increasing comfort and reducing energy costs.
Additional benefits of High-Performance Reflective Coating™
- Permeable: moisture is not trapped
- No interference with cellular signals
- The lowest VOC (volatile organic compounds) rating—50 grams per liter vs. commercial paints with VOC ratings of 250 to 500 grams per liter. Fewer particles are dispersed into the air when applied with virtually no "wet paint" odor.
- Enhanced home and building values
Our trained Eagle Shield Radiant Coating application specialists will be in and out of your home in a matter of hours. They'll prepare and apply the coating using our commercial equipment, clean up, and properly dispose of all materials when completed. A typical application takes two hours or less.
Eagle Shield High-Performance Reflective Coating™ can be applied to many building materials, including:
- Wood
- Steel
- Plasterboard
- Aluminum
- Concrete
- Many types of tile
- Other construction surfaces
Eagle Shield High-Performance Reflective Coating™ is designed for interior use only. It can be applied to the bottom side of roof decking (OSB, plywood, chip board, sheetrock, concrete or masonry), to primed or coated metal roofing, or to rafters and joists directly attached to roof. Reflective Coating dries to the touch in 2 – 4 hours at 77°F © and 50% relative humidity.
To function effectively, a radiant barrier must face an airspace of 1″ or greater. A radiant barrier will not function if sandwiched between two solid surfaces. Eagle Shield High-Performance Reflective Coating™, installed on the underside of roof decking, normally faces downward into the attic. If insulation is installed in the cavity formed by the roof trusses and roof decking (as in a cathedral ceiling), at least 1″ should be allowed between the top of the insulation and the Eagle Shield High-Performance Radiant Coating™.
Eagle Shield High-Performance Reflective Coating dramatically reduces heat lost in the winter and gained during the summer, extending the life of heating and cooling systems and saving money on your energy bills and increasing your comfort.
Now is the time to contact us to keep your family comfortable and lower your bills. Eagle Shield can also help you finance the installation costs, so Contact Us with any questions today. Click here to order your energy audit now for only $349!

Librarithon Update #3
Posted on | February 25, 2011 | 11 Comments
Oh goodness me! We've been zooming all over the place visiting libraries these past few days. I've been amazed to discover so many new-to-us libraries, how each one is different, how each has a different feel and vibe, even though many are in the same city.
Here are some photos from Library 8 in our Librarithon. We visited this library, and nos 9 and 10, on Tuesday.
I counted books in at least 15 different languages in this library! None in Dutch, but M gave one in an Arabic script (?perhaps Urdu) a go!
As in just about every library we've visited, before we knew it we were chatting to other families using the library. One young girl asked if M and J wanted to play with her and soon they were happily chatting and making friends. Next up the security guard wanted to join in! He was great – really friendly and encouraging and added to a sense that everyone is welcome in this library, it's a safe place, a place where you can strike up a conversation with a stranger and for it to be perfectly alright. We need more places like this!
And here's one more photo of Library 8 that I already posted on Twitpic: http://twitpic.com/42o6qy
One chocolate football, one slice of chocolate cake and one bannoffie pie eclair later we were at Library no. 9:
The staff at Library 9 seemed very excited to hear about our Librarithon! In every library we visit I give the staff on the counter a little flyer I've created about our Librarithon, what we're doing and why, and then ask them if it is ok to take photos as long as the only identifiable people in them are my children. Some librarians have been nervous I'm going to ask them for sponsorship (which I don't), but these librarians welcomed us with open arms, which was really heartening.
The next photo is specially for the wonderful Book Chook. She's sponsored our Librarithon and asked us to look out for an Australian animal. Here is an excited M with a Koala!
Finally for the day it was on to Library 10:
Initially our time here was quite depressing. One of the children's librarians I know well from our local library (which is now closed, but which has redeployed its staff) talked to me at length about her fears for the library service in our city. I learned that the library budget isn't part of Education or even Leisure – it comes under Housing!
Everywhere I go I'm hearing how librarians are living with a great deal of uncertainty. Nobody is telling them anything about their futures, though everyone seems sure that if there aren't actual closures in this city, almost every library will have to reduce the number of hours it is open per week.
Fortunately my mood brightened when another Mum and I ended up in fits of giggles over something silly and too complicated to repeat here, though it did involve the idea of libraries lending out children as well as books. And then there was the lovely Satoshi Kitamura carpet – I'm putting it on my birthday wish list!
And one more photo on Twitpic: http://twitpic.com/42o8fx
On Wednesday we travelled into another county for Library 11.
For those of you concerned about how the kids are enjoying our Librarithon – just look at them skipping in the photo above!
M, J and I loved this sculpture just in the entrance to the library, all about the development of alphabets and writing. Having earlier in the day read about how a Maisy book has been challenged in a US library because it shows Maisy putting on her pants (in the context of her getting dressed) I did wonder if a sculpture like this could ever make it into a US library…
I loved the idea of "Books on Prescription". These were actually all to do with health issues, but I thought the idea could easily be developed with a list of "ailments" and a corresponding list of books that would help, for example funny books to banish the blues.
This library also had a huge pile of puzzles. They weren't for loan, but rather available for users to set up and come back to over whatever time they liked. I loved the idea of people coming in to the library for a little bit of quiet time, but with people nearby, and being able to come back day after day.
By chance we were able to sneake in an extra library on Wednesday, our twelfth library so far.
Unfortunately this library was the only one so far where we were refused permission to take photos inside the library
I hope you get a sense from these photos how much fun we're having, and how we're pulling out all the stops to visit libraries, support them and raise money for Book Aid International. We're doing our bit – could you do something for us and sponsor us just £2? This is enough for Book Aid International to get a book to where it's needed. And, even though I've said it before, it's worth repeating – that book might be the one that changes someone's life.
Don't forget, if you can't sponsor us but would still like to help Book Aid International then pay a visit to Tidy Books' Facebook page and tell them what book changed your life. For every 4 nominations, Tidy Books will donate a book to Book Aid International. You'll also stand a chance of winning one of Tidy Books' bookcases for yourselves (and they're gorgeous, I can tell you!). So go on, hop over there and leave a comment! What's stopping you?

Yay! Great koala hunting! Thanks for another update. I am so enjoying these peeks into your libraries.
But so sad to read your libraries' plight. I believe it's the same in USA and here too. Yet a library is such a hub of learning, interaction, entertainment and quiet joy. Surely the powers that govern will come to their senses.
February 25th, 2011 @ 9:20 am
Loved all your posts on the librarithon. Lovely to have a peek into them, and thanks for posting those photographs.
Did you come across any books in Marathi? That is the language we speak at home, and I see there were books in Arabic, Hindi, Bengali among others.
And no, Arabic is not quite the same as Urdu, though they share the script. Urdu has come from Arabic, rather from a version of Arabic called Pharsi, brought to India by the Persian invaders and is a more Indianised version closer to Hindi, Most speakers of Hindi understand a lot of spoken Urdu. The scripts are very different, though. Hindi has adopted the Devanagari script that is common to Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi.
The situation of libraries here is abysymal, there is a next to none concept of a free library, except for some government run ones that are extremely outdated in their content and running. The good ones are paid places, and even those are not so many. I suppose it is to be expected in a country where a lot of times survival with dignity is the major question. I would count myself and others like me as priviledged in a lot of ways.
Here is a post I had done some time ago on libraries. http://arightowrite.blogspot.com/2010/07/library-affair.html

Really enjoying following your Librarithon tweets and reading the blog posts… I bet you'll be glad of a rest though next week… but maybe you could see how many libraries you could all tour in a year as the next librarithon!
Even in Australia
February 26th, 2011 @ 12:41 am
I love this idea! How are the libraries near you organized, institutionally?
Here in New York, the New York Public Library has branches in three of the five boroughs – Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. Brooklyn and Queens each have their own systems. Within the NYPL, I can request books online and if my local branch does not have it, those books will be sent to my local branch (or any other branch I request).
I just looked it up and "Of its 82 branch libraries [fewer than I thought!], 35 are in Manhattan, 34 are in the Bronx, and 12 are in Staten Island." There are also solely research libraries and specialized branches such as "The Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library, the circulating collections of the Science, Industry and Business Library, and the circulating collections of the Library for the Performing Arts." (I took this info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Public_Library.)

I love this post Zoe. You three really have visited some amazing libraries – so varied. I remember the controversy over the Maisy getting dressed image from when I was studying for my Children's Lit MA. It caused quite a heated debate during our seminar too which was fascinating. I love the fact that we can have sculptures in our libraries that provoke knowledge, discussion and imagination. Thanks so much for your amazing support.
February 26th, 2011 @ 8:23 pm
Hi Tasha,
It's I who thank you for providing the impetus to do something to fun and worthwhile! Two week ago I don't think I'd even thought of the word Librarithon, and yet here I am having completed one and loved doing it!
February 26th, 2011 @ 8:40 pm
Hello Even in Australia,
I can borrow material from any library in the conurbation I live in (about 52 currently I think, with a total stock of 2.7 million books), and can return it to any library. So that's pretty good. It meant that this last week I got lots of books out from libraries we were visiting and can return them when I'm ready to my regular library. In a neighbouring county they have a policy of allowing anyone to join the library. No ID is required at all, not even for children. The librarian I spoke to about this (in library 11 I think) said that this had been a very deliberate policy decision about 10 years ago to send out a message that all and everyone is welcome in the library. She said there is some fraud, but at a level very similar to that previously, when proof of ID was required.
February 26th, 2011 @ 9:40 pm
Thanks Sandhya for your generous comment. Loved your post about libraries in India!

Hi Becky, yes, that's been another great side effect of undertaking the librarithon, you're right!

Absolutely love Kariva. Never gained weight, no headaches, my periods are light and short and I get no cramps at all anymore. I feel protected using Kariva and I couldn't be happier. I have to switch because it is going up in price, which is really upsetting because I love this birth control very much. I've been on it for almost a year

I have been on this pill for 5 years. At first it was fine. A couple of years ago I began having extreme mood swings and getting depressed. Last year I started getting extremely nauseous and cold-like symptoms (congested and headaches) every month, same time. Recently I started getting migraines. If this pill is the cause (my doctor thinks it is) it is not worth it.

TuesdayCelebrity Gossips
Sonam Kapoor seeking Control of herself
Sonam-Aishwaya: Sonam Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai's war of words started when L'Oreal chose Sonam as the young face of their brand. Sonam had said that she was the young face, while Ash represented the older women. She even calledAishwarya Rai Bachchan 'Aunty Ji' as Ash had starred with her dad Anil Kapoor. Aishwarya, in turn hit back by referring to Sonam as 'Just another junior artiste'.
"Sonam Kapoor is known for being outspoken and she is simply unstoppable at that! Be it her friend or her co-stars, none are spared."
Sonam-Shobhaa De: Shobhaa De, referring to Sonam's shoot wrote on her blog, "Sonam just doesn't cut it in the sex appeal stakes." Sonam replied, "For a 60-something porn writer, I am sure she (Shobha) knows what she's talking about." But this didn't stop here, when Shobhaa criticised I Hate Luv Storys by labelling it as "I Hates Dumb Storys". Sonam retweeted (director Punit Malhotra tweeted and deleted), "Guys pls don't take Shobha De seriously. She's fossil who's getting no action and going through menopause." After all these drama, Sonam took to Twitter and formally apologised to Shobhaa.
Sonam-Abhay Deol: Actor Abhay Deol, who had acted with Sonam Kapoor in the movie Aisha, complained about her repeated tantrums on the sets of the film. Sonam had even said (when Abhay took on Sonam and Anil Kapoor), "It just shows how badly brought up Abhay is."
Sonam-Shahid: Earlier it was reported that Pankaj Kapoor was angered with Sonam as she arrived late during the shooting of Mausam. There were also rumours which said that Sonam and Shahid Kapoor had differences of opinion. When Shahid was asked about Sonam, he said, "We will make another film on Sonam's tantrums, it will make for an entertaining script…" And when the movie flopped at the Box-Office, Sonam said that Mausam is not a film that young kids would watch. Speaking to a film magazine, she even said that the pacing of the film Mausam was the biggest drawback.
Sonam-Ranbir: Sonam had even taken potshots at Ranbir Kapoor on the chat show Koffee With Karan, by saying that she doesn't find Ranbir sexy and he is a mama's boy. Ranbir in turn replied, "She is a bit of a drama queen…" Sonam was unwilling to give in easily and said, "I am an actress, darling. If I don't do drama, who else will?" Ranbir's parents were hurt by the comments passed by Sonam and Ranbir felt that her comments were a case of sour grapes. The drama did not end here. When asked if she was apologetic about what she had said about Ranbir, the fashionable actress said, "Why should I say 'sorry' to him?" She then went on to say that she didn't know Ranbir anymore and added that he was not her friend anymore.
Sonam-Kareena: In an interview, Sonam said that she doesn't mind turning gay for Kareena Kapoor. Media blew this issue out of proportion and had questioned Sonam's sexual preferences. Sonam then clarified on the remark that she made on Kareena.
Sonam-Katrina: Even after receiving so many blows, Sonam refuses to learn as she recently took a dig on Katrina Kaif. When she was asked regarding her choice of projects, she said that she'd like to "give Katrina a bouquet." When she was asked the reason, she said, "I don't know how she does it. You need a certain kind of commitment and a certain kind of shamelessness to do certain things." After that, she took on Twitter as usual stating that she didn't say anything like that and it is completely baseless.
