(Deut. 1:1, R.V.; marg., "some ancient versions have the Red Sea," as in the A.V.). Some identify it with Suphah (Num. 21:14, marg., A.V.) as probably the name of a place. Others identify it with es-Sufah = Maaleh-acrabbim (Josh. 15:3), and others again with Zuph (1 Sam. 9:5). It is most probable, however, that, in accordance with the ancient versions, this word is to be regarded as simply an abbreviation of Yam-suph, i.e., the "Red Sea."

Questions on Orthodoxy and music
October 14, 2002, 02:00:31 PM »
O.k., I know I ask a lot of questions, but I do have
a few more today.
1) Why is singing during the Divine Liturgy always
a capella? It is beautiful, but are instruments ever
used? If they are not permitted, why not?
2) Why is basically the same liturgy used for the
Divine Liturgy? Is there not any variation on prayers
and singing? If not why not?
3) Does anyone know where I can get or if there
are any good CDs of choirs/singing from the Divine
Liturgy in English? I have seen some in Russian,
but am interested in a CD in English, but haven't
found one.
4) What is the general Orthodox view of contemporary
christian (read: Protestant pop and rock) music?
Is it o.k. to be a christian rock musician with spiritual
lyrics that present the gospel and are uplifting/inspiring?
That is all I can think of for the moment. I am still
reading, praying and attending the Divine Liturgy
every Sunday-and enjoying it I might add! Talk
about giving glory to God! Anyway, thanks for your
earlier answers and I look forward to more.
God bless,

1. I think once upon a time, like in the first millennium, both Catholics and Orthodox sang
a cappella
(remember, Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony are voice-only, too!) - using instruments such as an organ was a postschism western innovation. Technically, only the human voice may be used in Orthodox church music but in practice the Greeks in America have adopted the protestantization of using an organ, at least to give the note for the choir to song.
2. Well, that is the essence of liturgical worship - much of it does stay the same. The parts that change, besides the readings, are the tropar' (troparion), kondak (kontakion), prokimen (prokeimenon) before the epistle, the alleluia verse before the Gospel and sometimes the Communion verse sung before Communion.
3. I'm sure they're out there!
4. AFAIK there's no problem with doing that. Of course such music doesn't belong IN church! Check out the link 'Free Monks' on my site: with some controversy, some Greek Orthodox monks have a pop band to try to spread the faith to today's secularized Greek youth.

O.k., I know I ask a lot of questions, but I do have
a few more today.
Questions are great, just remember that in Orthodox epistemological thought, you learn much more by experience than by question asking
(I am not, of course, trying to discourage question asking). Btw, if you wanted to know more about the Orthodox position regarding how we attain knowledge, I'd highly suggest Justin Popovich's essay "The Theory of Knolwedge of Saint Isaac the Syrian," which has been translated into English and is in the book "Orthodox Faith and Life in Christ". Or if you wanted to take a look before you'd consider buying the book, there is a short excerpt of the essay at
this page
1) Why is singing during the Divine Liturgy always
a capella? It is beautiful, but are instruments ever
used? If they are not permitted, why not?
I was thinking about this same thing during Orthros this past Sunday when I heard them singing the Psalms: "Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals" (Ps. 150). Why don't we have cymbals, or any instruments at all? I'm not positive, but I'll give three possible answers. The first reason I'll mention has at least some patristic support, that reason being that some thought instruments would be a distraction. It was thought, at least by some, that using just our voices--our person--we could focus on God more, while bringing in other objects would take away our attention from God. Second, the human voice, or voices joined, might be seen as a "sacrifice of praise" and/or "common intercession" to God. In other words, worship is direct prayer between us and God, and so it is possibly harmful to start adding other things in, especially if they are unneeded additions. The third answer I would give would involve the usage of prayers/songs in the home. Songs are not just sung in the Church, but can be sung anywhere, and especially should be sung at home if possible. In this way, while we Americans might typically think of music as having instruments, we should try as Orthodox to think of Church Music as being without instruments, that way we will have no hang-ups or excuses about singing wherever we might find ourselves. (E.g., we can't say "gee, I'd like to sing that hymn that's running around in my haed, but there's no guitar here to sing with, and I can't sing well, so I won't sing it at all.")
2) Why is basically the same liturgy used for the
Divine Liturgy? Is there not any variation on prayers
and singing? If not why not?
There are many variations through the year, and some from week to week, but it is true that the Liturgy is largely fixed in it's language. The idea is to get people to understand their faith, and more importantly to participate in their faith, so that's the approach Orthodox worship takes. Have you ever heard anyone say "It's wrong to have the Bible fixed because people will get bored"? Have you ever heard anyone say "Let's change the 'Our Father,' it's getting boring"? And how about David in some of those Psalms? (cf Ps. 136) The point is, repitition is not bad, and doing/reading the same thing isn't bad, unless you allow it to become dry and dead. The idea is to learn the liturgy well enough so that you can follow along and focus strictly on God. After a while you learn the "form," and that allows you to focus more on the substance. You aren't looking at the words of a contemporary chorus on a viewscreen, and you aren't reading along in a hymnal, you're instead--hopefully!--singing along what you honestly believe "We have seen the true light, we have received the heavenly Spirit; We have found the truth faith, worshipping the undivided trinity: Which have saved us." It doesn't matter that you sang it the last 300 sundays, all that matters is what you make of it this Sunday. Much like the Bible, you get from it only if you put into it, and as long as you are in communion with God and are sincere, you could read/sing it 3,000 times and it wouldn't become "boring" or "stale". Having said that, while the main part of the service is fixed so that we can follow along wholly, the Orthodox do include just enough variation each service (from service to service) to teach us something new. When taken over the whole year (especially if all services are attended, and not just Sundays), this becomes quite an extensive theological education. You'll find out about everything from the missionary activities of the Apostles to the affirmations of the Ecumenical Councils.
It's also note worthy that just about every Church repeats itself anyway, the Orthodox are just a bit more up front. In the Wesleyan Church I attended, for instance, we (I do not mean myself, but the Church as a whole) were very proud that we weren't dead and repetitive like the Catholics Church down the street (some of the animosity came from our eschatological views). In reality though, we were on a fixed pattern as well, it was just that our pattern changed every few months, while the Catholics kept their pattern. During that few-month period though, I could have told you, with probably 90% accuracy, what would happen in the service, what order it would happen in, and what songs (well, choruses) would be sung. We tend to be creatures of habit, sometimes this can be a good thing (e.g., having the habit of reading the Bible every morning).
4) What is the general Orthodox view of contemporary
christian (read: Protestant pop and rock) music?
Is it o.k. to be a christian rock musician with spiritual
lyrics that present the gospel and are uplifting/inspiring?
I've never ran into any problems with this, and I use to listen to Christian Heavy Metal and Rock (while I was Orthodox). I will be so bold as to say that I think you would, if you became Orthodox, eventually stop listening to the groups by your own free choice. I could be wrong on that, but that was my own personal experience. It's not about the rightness or wrongness of the action, it's just about what the best thing is to do in the situation you find yourself. If, however, you went on listening to such music, I don't see that you would run into any problems.
That is all I can think of for the moment. I am still
reading, praying and attending the Divine Liturgy
every Sunday-and enjoying it I might add!
I'm glad!
I'm sure many on here are praying for you.

Would suggest you access the Concilliar Press Bookstore for the following CD's of contemporay Orthodox music. The first, Living in an Orthodox World is my favorite. It is comprised of various hymns of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy, Vespers, etc. services sung by a chior of Orthodox kids (the youngest is 6 years old). It contains various hymns sung in a contemporary style. I bought this CD for my nephews seven year old Lutheran son and he knows all the hymns by heat. He puts it on and goes around the house singing for all he's worth!
You can click on a section to get a sample of the hymns
An educational "sing along" for Orthodox young people that will capture the imagination of your child and bring the vocabulary of the Church's liturgy into your home.
The Seraphim Six Orthodox Children's Choir sings a joyful collection of 2- and 3-part music for the Divine Liturgy and Feast Days. Conducted by Alice Hughes and Anne Schoepp.
Conciliar Press and Peter Jon Gillquist are proud to announce the release of Peter Jon's newest CD, Live at the Village. Live at the Village is a concert recorded live on location at the Antiochian Village Camp, Ligonier, PA on August 7, 2000. The concert features a selection of Peter Jon's most requested music.
Conciliar Press is now the exclusive distributor for Peter Jon Gillquist's music.
Peter Jon Gillquist writes and performs acoustic folk rock from the perspective of an Orthodox college student. His music appeals to teens, college students, and parents, too. Peter Jon tours the U.S. and has now released five albums.

If I may take this moment to respond to question #2, regarding why the Liturgy does not have the 'major' changes observed in other churches from Sunday to Sunday:
First off, one of the many purposes of the Liturgy is to mystically transport the worshippers to Heaven--parts of the Liturgy are developed from the descriptions of Heaven revealed to us in Scripture, such as in the OT prophetical literature as well as St. John's vision of the worship in Heaven. As far as we know, this is what is occurring in Heaven right now, and so we want to 'blend in' by worshipping in the same way.
Secondly, the Liturgy does not need to change because it speaks to worshippers in different ways as the worshipper experiences his or her life. I know that different parts of the Liturgy 'speak' to me now that previously these same parts did not gain as much attention from me. This is because with the grace of God I have changed from the time I first converted so long ago, and hopefully I will continue to change, in so experiencing a different Liturgy over the years even though the wording and actions are mostly the same.
Not to be mean spirited, but it could be argued that some people crave change in their worship because they themselves are not being changed by their worship. This innate spritual hunger given us by God is not being satisfied by what they are doing, but they do not yet know that they can be fully spiritually fed through the Liturgy.
Regarding CD's of Orthodox Liturgical music, I think St. Vlad's bookstore (through
-- this is from memory) has various selections of music in English as well as the group Eikona (in English as well as Greek on the same tape, though. However, their chanting and singing is beautiful so that you may be able to 'endure' the non-English parts).
Finally, please continue to ask questions. The Spirit is placing this desire in you to find Truth, who is the Lord.

I have been taught that the reason we do not use intruments is that Orthodox worship is the worship of the inner court where only the human voice is appropriate.
The OT musical instruments were used in the outer court.
I have also been told by one old monk that he thinks even in OT days musical instruments were an economy, a concession to man's weakness and not what was best.

What is the general Orthodox view of contemporary Christian (read: Protestant pop and rock) music?
We have different words for it all together. Music, like secular pop music, is called
while spiritual music is called
. Orthodox consider Ethiopian "Gospel Music" to be nothing but
and thus music and not spiritual songs. The Protestants complain that the traditional Orthodox
is boring. That makes sense because the Protestant style is totally rock band oriented and unless I listen closely and hear "BeYesus Sem" (In Jesus Name) being sung I can not tell if it is Church related or not. It sounds like any modern Ethiopian pop singer.
When Orthodox
starts it is clear that it is Orthodox. Our hymnography is based on St. Yared's revelation (as well as his interaction with Syrian Saints) over 1,500 years ago and it can not diverge from three distinct styles and the drum has something like 3 or 4 styles that must be followed. Other instruments similar to the violin and harp are used as well.
I once asked my spiritual father if I could write a rap so long as it was focused on God. He looked at me like I should go somewhere and spank myself and I haven't brought it up since.
The basic rule is that if it makes you want to dance and takes your mind anywhere other than what is Holy then it does not belong in the Church.

A comical use of a musical instrument would be the harmonica that is sometimes used by some cantors before they chant in order to get on key. Its sound is humourously out of place. After listening to it, you would next expect a violing to kick and someone to shout, "Ooooh, grab yer partner, swing'er 'rawnd..."
I hear mazameer (plural) played in our house by an Ethiopian friend, and I can't quite remember how she put it, but I was told that if a woman sings ecclesiastical music (makes a recording), she cannot sing from now on what I suppose you would call zefin. She was very worried when she found out that the Lebanese Fairuz was doing something she seemed to find very wrong: she released a recording of her singing Sad Friday hymns (for a contemporary Greek counterpart, I recommend Petros Gaitanos; he has a voice for ecclesiastical music) and of course has many recordings (and has sung many times in theater) singing about many things such as poetry, love, nationalism, even verses from Jubran's "Prophet". Could you explain this taboo, Aklie?
Also, does mazmoor literally translate to "psalm"? The word is identical to ours.

Also protestant Seeker,
Here is a link that has a number of Othodox hymns in ENGLISH that are great.
I will also post a response in a short while about the use of instruments in the Orthodox Church. Keep in mind that the Coptic Orthodox Churches uses the cymbals and the triangle during the liturgy in accordance with pslam 150.
Here is a sample of those sounds:
The Greek Orthodox in central Africa, use drums and during the hymns also. Basically, the Church incorportaes the culture and allows the local population to express their Orthodox spirituality using their own customs. This applies mostly to lands that have been evangelized by the Orthodox.
I will post greater detail when I have time.

Personally, I have *never* heard the harmonica used in the Eastern Orthodox Church, irrespective of recension, either by cantors (Romanian, Greek or Antiochian) before they chant or by a choir director to give their notes to choristers. But that doesn't mean that an innovative cantor or choir director doesn't use one somewhere. However, I have heard, and quite frequently too, choir directors--even in churches following a strict Russian recension-- use pitch pipes to give choristers their notes, particularly before beginning a difficult hymn. Nothing wrong with that in my POV.

I know that in Syriac, Mazmoor means "psalm", and the connection to "Mezmur" was one that I noted to myself and wondered about.

Yes it does, the Psalms of David is called
Mezmura Dawit
, a stronger reason that we should refuse to refer to Protestant music as
I was told that if a woman sings ecclesiastical music (makes a recording), she cannot sing from now on what I suppose you would call zefin.
Oh that...just imagine seeing a priest break dancing on the corner with teenagers; that is how it looks when someone starts singing music after they have already earned the reputation of singing mezmur. Being a mezmuran, while not an ordained status and not even an official status, is still like being a deacon or something. You just have to behave in a Christian manner, and you never, never sing secular music again.
the Lebanese Fairuz was doing something she seemed to find very wrong: she released a recording of her singing Sad Friday hymns...and of course has many recordings (and has sung many times in theater) singing about many things such as poetry, love, nationalism, even verses from Jubran's "Prophet".
Was this a woman who usually sings secular music just deciding to release an album of Sad Friday hymns (kind of like Whitney Houston singing "Jesus loves me") or was this someone who is primarily known as an ecclesiastical musician and then started singing secular music?
Ethiopian Christians worry about the latter especially since modern secular music is getting way out of hand (the songs that Americanized Ethiopians are singing and then exporting back to Ethiopia are noteworthy for their filth).
Maybe in Lebanon the worry is not great since the people are still cultured in the traditional sense. Secular music is probably safe from going into the wild extremes of pop culture. I know I have read the lyrics for an entire album of one Arab secular musician and he primarily sung love songs to his wife, it was very respectable and totally family oriented. But then, that is precisely the type of music that is not commercially viable in centers of pop culture. You rarely hear that kind of music in this country and the little that exist I am sure is not paying it's performer well. Here we have songs like the disgusting adulterers anthem of the 1970's "If loving you is wrong, girl I don't wanna be right." When a Church musician starts to sing 'worldly music' what are they getting involved in?
Once I was watching a panel of famous Gospel singers on BET (Black Entertainment Television); a couple of them sang 'worldly music' as well as gospel. Some of the secular music that these musicians sang was outrageous. They would go from "Jesus you shake me up" to "girl, shake your booty" in the matter of seconds. That's because this is the stuff of modern pop music, there is no respectability so any Christian who wants to participate in it usually has to conform or go out of show business.
America has the longest experience in this Protestant tradition of 'modernizing' Church music. Therefore if there is a way to try to see the road this tradition ultimately leads to it is by looking at the state of today's American Gospel music; if that is the future then the future does not look good.
Let me also mention that Ethiopian mezmur is innovative, different things can be sung about but they have to revolve around the Church and God. I have heard what could be called nationalism a few times. For one, you always encounter the name "Qidist Ethiopia" (Qidist = femenine for saint) being sung in Church songs. As you know Ethiopia is considered Maryam's fief so there is sometimes reference to Ethiopia in mezmur about Mary. The strongest I ever heard was a solo by a female and she started singing "Ethiopiawan bahel alacho, Ethiopiawan tarik alacho" (Ethiopians we have culture, Ethiopians we have history). This is in the Church.
Oh yes, Aklie, glad to see Abouna knocked some sense into your head, my friend......no, seriously......<grin>
I know but the Protestants do it why can't I? Baba is being mean to me.

Something else to add to the pot. I don't know if any of you have had the experience of listening to the chanting in the orthodox church in Georgia (Iberia). They sing in three part harmony and it is hauntingly beautiful. There is a movement within the church, however, to revert back to the Byzantine tradition. The reasons are basically these:
The chanting is beautiful and the Georgians have become very "proud" of their tradition. Pride = not good.
The very beauty of the chanting can be a distraction from the content.
Most importantly, the Georgian tradition lacks the sense of repentance inherant in the Byzantine tradition.
Who knows, in heaven we may be singing like the Georgians, when we have nothing but joy to express, but I do agree that there is great benefit in the Byzantine tradition. Anything that aids us in turning to repentance is a good thing IMO

Dear John,
This is a very interesting statement. Why do you think this is so? Why does the Byzantine musical tradition have a sense of repentance that is absent from the Georgian musical tradition (which, being ignorant for the most part about the subject of music, I am not sure, but assume is more in tune with the various "Slavic" musical traditions)?

The Byzantine tradition is filled with the same paradox expressed in orthodox iconography, that of joyful sorrow. I really couldn't explain it in any other way. I guess "repentance" is not really the best expression except that we experience the same joyful sorrow in our own daily (hourly?) repentance. Sorrow over having failed yet again to live holy lives and joy over God's forgiveness of our sins.
I currently live in Thessaloniki, Greece, so I am blessed with being deeply immersed in orthodoxy. Seriously, if you throw a stone in any direction in Thessaloniki, you are bound to hit a church, there are that many! Plus I can think of at least twelve monasteries off the top of my head within an hours drive and they are only the ones that I know of. I'm sure there are many more.
Anyway, one of the things that really made an impression on me was the chanting and how it seemed to express both joy and sorrow at the same time. To the western ear it sounds like they are singing a bit flat or sharp at times and indeed they are as they do not use the same musical scales as Western music. A good description can be found in this PDF:
found at this address:
Now I can't speak with authority on the Georgian tradition as I have only heard a small amount of Georgian chanting myself, however I did meet Davit (David), a Georgian chanter who had come to Greece to study the Byzantine tradition. He spent 10 days in one of the monasteries on Mt. Athos (can't remember which) learning as much as he could and will be coming again for more instruction. Eventually they intend opening a school in Georgia for any chanters and priests wishing to learn the Byzantine tradition. Up until meeting Davit, I hadn't given much thought to the why's and wherefore's of chanting but I have since been forming something of an opinion on the matter.
Joyful singing can lift our souls temporarily but the effect is not long lasting as it does not reflect the true condition of our hearts and does not turn us to repentance. The combination of joy and sorrow in singing however, is more closely matched to the condition of our souls. We are reminded both of our unworthiness and of God's grace to us, receiving us while we are yet sinners. Because there is more "truth" conveyed in this manner, because it more closely resembles the reality of our situation, I believe the effects remain and help in turning us to repentance. The effect may be small, we may not even be concious of it, but every little bit helps in the hospital of souls which is the Church.
This is my opinion anyway FWIW

Flight04 Nov 13
Hello, I did not enjoy my journey back to Canada because I landed in Calgary 22:00 instead to be at 14:55. The flight KL 3097 from Kiev was landing very late in Amsterdam and I had only 15 mun. to get flight KL 0677. Nobody gave me any compensation or document for discomfort what I got with extra log trip. I am your customer many years, I was enjoy your flight and service in August but not happy my return. I look forward your answer. Thank you. Serenely, LudmilaMila -

Winter wonderland weekender25 Feb 13
Coming to Kiev for a long weekend in the middle of winter may appear crazy but you can pack in everything that London has for the same price or less including the flight. We enjoyed going to the opera for a fraction of the cost of going in London. Then we spent most of a day visiting the Aquapark and spa where again we made amazing savings on the costs of the spa compared to London with the benefit of experiencing one of Europe's largest indoor aquaparks. Then an evening out on one of the great restaurants that Kiev has to offer. Again great savings to be had but beware of the outrageous price for wine in the restaurants. In the day we found more than enough activities to keep anyone occupied during our time in Kiev.The Expat - UK

Travel via Amsterdam on the way out and via Paris on the return to save nearly £100.00 pp when using Heathrow. This saves expensive transfers from central London to other airports to achieve the same costings and only takes an extra 60 - 90 minutes on the journey time.
A pleasant surprise20 Feb 13
Went for my son's wedding (lst part, registry office). His sister and I were shown around the city and we enjoyed dinner at different restaurants each evening. I would eat at all of them again. His friends are all professionals and part of a tight kit community but their wives and girlfriends are all Ukranian - all of whom I found delightful. We needed to really wrap up when stepping outdoors but were very very warm when indoors. We enjoyed the churches, history museum, sights and sounds of Kiev and are looking forward to our next trip in the summer for the church and reception part of the wedding. The metro is very busy and tightly packed with commuters but very cheap to use. There is an underground shopping mall or malls which has different areas representing different countries. We only saw a small section and I didn't realise there were different sections until we had arrived home. It is under the road and has to be used to reach the other side if one wants to look at other shops at street level. There is a street with up market shops ie Louis Vitton, Bulgari, designer clothes and shoe shops and so on for the discerning shopper. We feel that there is still so much to see and strongly advise others to look on Trip Advisor. My son's apartment is 4 minute walk from the main shopping area and a 3 minute walk from the office. We passed many hotels during our walks so there are plenty to choose from. However, we stayed in his close friend and boss's apartment next door. Oh, forgot to mention that when stepping into someone's home you will find a mat and have to step onto it and take your shoes off. It is just a matter of courtesy as they don't like the dirt from the pavements to be brought indoors and a Russian phrase book will come in handy.Linda - UK

Lots of warm clothing, gloves, hats, scarves if travelling in winter months. Keep away from buildings when walking along the pavements. The walkways are wide. Huge chunks of snow can fall from rooftops and causes about 20 deaths per annum. Embrace the whole experience and enjoy your trip.

I give this product a "GOOD" rating only because of the sizing. Had the size been true I would have definitely given this product an "EXCELLENT" rating. I ordered this dress to wear to my brother and wife's 10th Renewing of thier Vows ceremony. I received the dress a few days before the actual ceremony. I ordered a size 12 even though I normally wear a 10. The dress was more beautiful than the pictures but when I tried on the dress I barely got it over my shoulders and to my disappointment I was not able to zip it once I finally got it on. If you order this dress you may need to order a size larger because for me it was definitely NOT TRUE TO SIZE. I think if you get the right size you will be very pleased with this dress because everything else about the dress is awesome.
when I got the dress it was great until I tried to put it on. Someone forgot to put a zipper in the back which makes it close to impossible to put the dress on. I was able to peel myself into it and get out of it but its too bad there is no zipper in back to make it easier to put on
I was looking for a dress that was a raspberry color, and hoped this would work, based on the picture. It was darker, more wine-colored (which is what it was called!). Sizing seemed true to size, altho based on other reviews saying it ran small, I got 1 size larger than normal, and it was too big. Overall, the dress was very pretty and seemed well-made, with just enough "bling" for mother of the bride. Jacket was nice to have as an option, and no need for special bra was an added plus!
I purchased this dress for a wedding. The color was beautiful and the fit was great. I will definitely buy again from Overstock.
I took notice of other reviews about the sizing and ordered a larger size, and then had to return it for the smaller size. Returning of the original dress was made easy as. Thanks
This is a beautiful cocktail dress. It's smaller in the bust area than I would have expected it to be. I ordered 3 different (but similar) dresses from 3 different places. One size 16 was WAAAY too big, a size 14 fit perfectly, and this one (a size 16) was too small. You just never know. That's why you have to try them on!
I think the dress looks better in the picture than in person. It fits well, though, and the color is nice but it looks sort of cheap, especially for the price ($XX)
I love this dress,I just need to know the colors of my nephew's wedding so I will not stand out more than any one else..I am looking for a dress that will serve to casuses and I think this one will do the job.It is so nice ,it could serve any purpose.
I read the reviews, ordered the dress anyway. I laughed so hard when I read people talking about a ZIPPER needed in the back. The ZIPPER IN ON THE SIDE. Hidden very well, as it should be. LOL I love the dress. Makes me look thin.
Love this dress! All of the other reviews said you needed to order a size or two larger; however, I ordered a size larger than I usually wear and it was almost too big. So, if you are squeezing into your size now, you need to order a size larger, but if your clothes fit comfortably, you probably need to order your size instead of going to the next size.

After four consecutive league games, it is two cup matches in a row for the Blues, beginning with the start of this season's FA Cup campaign. Club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton think third round…
This is Chelsea's first visit to St Mary's in eight years as we defend the FA Cup for the seventh time in our history. The Blues have an immensely proud record in this competition in recent times, winning it in three of the last four seasons.
Only Tottenham (eight times, most recent 1991), Arsenal (10, 2005) and Manchester United (11, 2004) have won the world's most fabled competition for football clubs more times.
Few teams have flown the FA Cup flag around the world as widely as Chelsea, especially across Europe, Africa and South America.
Players from Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain and Uruguay have been involved in winning finals with Chelsea since 1997, becoming ambassadors for the tournament.
'When you are a foreigner watching English football and you see that red carpet and the managers with the big flower,' 2000 trophy-winner Gustavo Poyet said recently, 'any player who comes to England is thinking that if they're lucky enough, they will be able to play once in the FA Cup final. So to be able to play in one and win it is even better.
'I say this coming from Uruguay, where there is no cup and from Spain where there is the Copa Del Rey, but the FA Cup is the greatest cup in the world.'
Other overseas Blues would concur: Didier Drogba, for example, became the first player to score in four FA Cup finals, winning on each occasion, including the first at the new Wembley in 2007.
Equally Ruud Gullit: no overseas manager had lifted the old trophy before he claimed it in 1997.
The Italian forward Gianfranco Zola danced a jig of delight on the pitch at the end of that game - and his Watford side square up to 2011 winners Manchester City this weekend.
Rafael Benitez might be forgiven for pondering the club's priorities over the next week, with a Capital One Cup semi-final first leg coming in midweek, ahead of a testy league trip to Stoke on Saturday.
Some of his players looked jaded and lacked intensity in the defeat at home to QPR, which saw the Blues remain in fourth place. That match was the 11th in 35 days for the Chelsea squad, which has fewer playing personnel than any Premier League rival this season.
There have also been injuries and suspensions to the likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard, David Luiz, John Mikel Obi and Oriol Romeu over the same period. As a result, new striker Demba Ba, who is cup-tied for the Europa League, may be called into action straight away at the Dell. Midfielder Yossi Benayoun has also returned from loan.
Probable underdogs Southampton enjoyed an unbeaten Christmas campaign but manager Nigel Adkins indicated that Premier League survival is his overriding concern in the team selection for their Capital One Cup match at Leeds in October.
He made 11 changes from the side that played Spurs the previous Sunday and the Saints were beaten 0-3. However, with his team having more recovery and preparation time than a bruised Chelsea side he may scent victory and keep his changes to a minimum.
If the scores are level after 90 minutes there will be a replay at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday 16 January, kick off 7.45pm, subject to any TV selection.
The draw for the FA Cup fourth round is on Sunday at around 3.30pm and will be broadcast live on ITV 1 and FATV.

Big Science, Bad Science
Where Science and Politics Meet
Where scientists and politicians meet there should be conflict; and so there was for a time. This healthy condition no longer prevails. Scientists and politicians now dance together, advance dos-à-dos, bow, scrape, exchange compliments. A regrettable spectacle.
What brought about this decline? One looks for a clue in Jerome Wiesner's book, but, as I shall try to show further on, he evades the question or, perhaps does not recognize the circumstances which demand an answer, a critical evaluation. I propose therefore to sketch the background against which what Wiesner has to say should be examined.
Before the big war, scientists and politicians in this country minded their own business. They were different breeds. Neither group admired the other, neither really understood the nature of the others' activities. Science was a small enterprise; scientists met no payrolls; they were poor, frugal, and proud. It would not have occurred to them to ask the politicians for money, nor would they have got any if they had asked. All the same, research thrived. We are still living off discoveries made in the spare years when the total sum spent on science altogether was less than is now demanded for a single engine. When E = mc2 began to threaten as a weapon instead of a theory; it took a letter from Einstein to the President of the United States to get the government to lend its support to further investigations. A plea from a lesser figure would have expired in an ordnance colonel's—more likely major's—basket.
The bomb, as we all know, changed everything, including the status of scientists. Within half a dozen years science became a big enterprise. Two billions were spent on the weapons which obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since then the A.E.C. alone has spent more than thirty billions to keep us safe and the world peaceful. U. S. Scientific agencies have sprung up like toadstools after a rain. Money has been lavished on machines, laboratories, universities. Salaries of scientists have risen sharply and all sorts of delicious privileges and perquisites are offered. The federal government now spends annually on "R" and "D" (research and development) about sixteen billion dollars: of this 90 per cent or more is for "development," which is all military, and a good part of the remaining 10 per cent, ostensibly for research, supports paramilitary activities. Money is, of course, not the whole story. Senators, Congressmen, and other government officials now are almost all science minded. They have become voguishly knowledgeable in natural philosophy: coronary occlusion, the Van Allen Belt, ballistics, the psychoneurosis called space travel, computers, the eight-fold way, anti-matter. Scientists sit at high table. They are advisers to presidents. Prizes and medals are conferred on them on the White House lawn. They counsel on war and peace, husbandry and education, the budget and the national economy, health and happiness and death. Science is important.
That it has become both a cult and a national crusade is by no …

From silent movies to the modern digital age, the
Allred Theater, Pryor, is going digital.
Allred Theater owner, Gene Oliver, continues commitment to Mayes County movie goers that began in 1917 by J. F. Allred. His father, Doyle Oliver, purchased the theater from in 1963.
"The Allred Theater has been part of the evolution of film presentation since the silent picture," said Oliver. "It is now time for Digital/3D Cinema." The first phase of the installation of 3D is scheduled for March 16. The Allred is the oldest continuously operating theater in the nation that is making this complete transition.
The movie business at the Allred is at historic highs. Business at the Allred is up 47 percent compared to the same period in 2005 - 2008. In times of economic diffi-
culty, the film business usually thrives as indicated by this massive increase, Oliver said.
The Allred is the first small-town independent theater owner in Green Country to commit to Digital/3D film projection. It also has the highest year to date increases of any theater in Green Country, Oliver said.
"With our initial investment of $1,000,000 this increases to $1,350,000 our expanding commitment to Mayes County. The support of the community has enabled us to do this and we appreciate that support." "We also appreciate the support of RCB Bank to continue this investment.
Mayor Jimmy Tramel applauds Oliver's investment in the community as he watches sales tax increases reflected by the Allred's historic grosses. "Mr. Oliver's commitment to modern movies has enhanced the downtown business area for Pryor. He helps all our community by enabling our citizens to shop in Pryor. Other businesses also benefit from the Allred's presence," said Tramel. "Towns this size are very fortunate to have such an investment in the community. Every dollar spent at the Allred and other Pryor businesses helps the city and the county in these difficult times."
"Those of us involved in community development in cities the size of Pryor are very aware that our downtowns will not only survive, but thrive, if we focus on building them into the entertainment center of the town," said Barbara Hawkins, Chamber of Commerce Director.
"Mr. Oliver began the trend for us in 2000, when he returned to Pryor, remodeled, expanded and turned the Allred Theater into a state-of-the-art movie complex. Because of the trend he set, we now have restaurants added to our downtown mix. Today, he is again going to the front of the pack, with his latest investment in Digital/3D film projection. We are all excited about the new technology. Mostly, we are very grateful that he returned to Pryor and that he continues to pursue his vision to help position our community as a leader in Northeast Oklahoma economies."

I don't know who the original authors had in mind as to who "you" refers to here. It's a country song, probably about a relationship between a man and a woman. It could just as easily be interpreted that "you" is Jesus Christ, so that's what I did. The song was written by Kostas and John Scott Sherrill. Bottom line is: Jesus loves us!

Thanks But No Thanks: Robot Shaped Lamps
They're shaped like robots and they're receiving electricity. That's playing with fire. And if I've learned anything about playing with fire, it's this: always get somebody else to light it. Preferably somebody who didn't see how much lighter fluid you used. However, if you're the kind of person that likes taking chances and doesn't bother looking both ways before crossing a busy intersection, you can purchase a Robolamp from Robert Matysiak. Made out of plastic plumbing and electrical supplies, each robot is handcrafted by Robert in his workshop and will set you back between 40-110 euros ($60-$166). Plus, everyone is different -- like snowflakes! Well, snowflakes that want to electrocute you in your sleep and burn your house to the ground. WHICH EXIST. Why do you think there are so many house fires in the winter? The prosecution rests.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Battle of Fredericksburg, which took place 150 years ago, is best known for the bloody Union assault on Confederates dug in behind a stone wall at Mayre's Heights, overlooking the Rappahannock River town of 5,000.
More than 8,000 federal troops were mowed down in Gen. Ambrose Burnside's unsuccessful attempt to wrest the high ground from troops commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee in December of 1862. The defeat ended Burnside's career as commander of the Army of the Potomac after only 77 days, while strengthening Southern resolve to fight on.
While the winter battle in a town only 60 miles north of the Confederate capital proved to be something of a hollow victory for the Southern cause, since it merely delayed the Union assault on Richmond until the following spring, it was historically significant for a number of reasons. Pulitzer-nominated author and historian Frank O'Reilly will discuss those reasons during a free public lecture beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday in the University of Charleston's Geary Student Union.
Several actions that took place during the Fredericksburg campaign "anticipated 20th Century combat," O'Reilly said in a telephone interview from Virginia's Fredericksburg & Spottsylvania National Military Park, where he is park historian.
One such action, he said, was the world's first amphibious landing under fire, followed by the first establishment of a beachhead in combat conditions.
"In 1862, no one had contemplated, studied, or drilled for such a thing," O'Reilly said. But the Union soldiers at Fredericksburg "made it up as they went along," he said, because if they were to have any chance of victory, "they had to defy conventional thinking and think outside the box."
Burnside's plan for capturing Fredericksburg, and using it is a staging site for an assault on Richmond, depended on an un-resisted crossing of the Rappahannock, from which Confederate forces had removed all bridges in anticipation of a Union advance. The Union general ordered the components for several pontoon bridges to be brought to Fredericksburg to accommodate a speedy crossing before a force of Confederates could be assembled to block the attack. But the floating bridge parts arrived 10 days behind schedule, giving Lee's troops time to arrive on the Fredericksburg shore before they could be assembled.
On Dec. 11, 1862, Union engineers began putting the bridges together. The span nearest downtown Fredericksburg was about halfway across the river when Confederates in a row of riverfront houses began firing on the assembly crew.
Anxious to put an end to the sniping and complete their task, volunteers from the bridge-building crew piled into six of the clumsy, open pontoon boats, and after a barrage of Union artillery fire rained down on the Confederate riflemen, paddled toward the opposite shore.
"After they landed, they established a beachhead in a few of the riverfront homes," O'Reilly said. "That amphibious landing and the taking of a beachhead under heavy fire that followed became the great-grandaddy of similar actions at D-Day in World War II and Inchon during the Korean War."
The 200 federal troops making the initial crossing soon became involved in another military first: the first urban combat to take place in North America.

Despite successful efforts by the NRA to prevent publicly funded research into gun deaths, several scholarly studies have suggested that a gun in the home is more likely to be involved in accidental death and injury, suicide or violence among "intimates" than in addressing a threat by outsiders.
It should come as no surprise that a recent YouGov poll found that in households where guns were available, members who did not actually own a gun were more likely to support "gun control" than those who owned them. It should not be forgotten that the Newtown massacre was carried out by someone who obtained his mother's legally obtained weapons.
Responsible gun owners may feel outrage about the current debate. One of the ironies of gun ownership is that those who purchase them for protection are far less likely to ever encounter a criminal threat than those without guns who live in high-crime areas. Most gun owners live in relatively safe communities, often in rural or small towns, and may use firearms for hunting or recreation. They certainly share the horror that any normal human feels about the killing of innocent children. They may simply be unaware of people who live in urban neighborhoods who fear the consequences of easy legal, as well as illegal, access to firearms. Most reject the notion that guns in their own home can be more threatening than some criminal they might encounter.
Yet, it is absurd, if not insane, to think that making more guns available to more people will make them safer. Elisabeth Rosenthal, in a New York Times article, notes that in countries with high rates of civil violence like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Colombia and Venezuela, "good" guys with guns "grace every lobby, storefront, ATM, restaurant and bus station" without any discernible increase in safety. Rebecca Peters, of the International Action Network on Small Arms, gets to the main point: "A society that is relying on guys with guns to stop violence is a sign of a society where institutions have broken down."
Blogger and Middle East scholar Juan Cole notes that among 21 developed OECD countries, the United States alone accounted for 80 percent of deaths by firearms between 2000 and 2011. This country has more gun deaths in a 24-hour period than many European countries have in a year. By official count, between 2000 and 2011, the United States experienced 115,997 gun deaths -- more than might be expected in a country experiencing a civil war, such as Syria.
Those who constantly assert the "right to bear arms" need to be reminded that democracies thrive only where people take responsibility for and with each other, rather than arming themselves to the teeth against real and imagined enemies within their own society. It is what we do together as a people that provides for our public safety, not what we would have to do if we lived in a world where safety lies in arming ourselves to the teeth against each other.
Sane people know that our security, and indeed the freedoms we take for granted, come from the compacts we form with each other through our civil and political institutions. One would think that we might have learned this 236 years after the Declaration of Independence defined the purpose of self-governance.

Maryland Zoo to debut four baby warthogs
Wednesday - 5/2/2012, 1:50pm  ET
WASHINGTON - Pumbaa would be very proud now that the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore has welcomed four warthog piglets. They were born April 4 to Kumari and Kijani, the zoo's resident warthog couple.
The little ones were discovered by staff who had been on pregnancy watch for several weeks.
"Kumari is very protective of her litter and is doing a great job caring for her newborns," says Meredith Wagoner, mammal collection and conservation manager at the zoo. "The three females and one male piglet are nursing regularly and appear to be thriving."
All four are thriving and have already gained 1 pound. They will be on exhibit in mid-May once the weather gets warmer, the zoo says.

Yesterday I got to see about 30 barn swallows who had just fledged from their nests. They were in panic mode as they didn't know how they were going to be fed. These are two that just left their nest. It looks like a heated discussion. Finally many of them flew back to their nests to see if a parent would come and feed them. There were more than 100 swallows flying around -- kind of like Alfred Hitchcock's movie "THE BIRDS".

The app's key feature, a world clock, allows you to check the time in any city around the globe, making it a useful tool for travelers. The app's unappealing background, however, makes it less enjoyable than it could have been.

okay people....removing wallpaper from plaster walls SUCK!!!...I wanted to paint over the wallpaper but NOOOOO...this forum waves their finger with a tisk..tisk.....so I have attempted to do it right like Mike Holmes says...BUT I can't take it anymore.....I am re-adding wallpaper....beadboard paintable wallpaper........what do you think so far?....what is your opinions about doing the whole room with this wallpaper?.......the section that I did was out of necessity...the walls were quite damaged and would require a skim.......I spent 10 hours removing and 1/2 hour adding the new paper.......I hope my forum friends agree to my solution!!! :D

There is nothing wrong with adding new wallpaper, the paintable stuff is absolutely for jobs such as this. You are sizing the walls first though right?
So you have the wainscotting, what are you thinking of for the upper parts?
As for removing, warm water is a really good friend when attempting such things. The more the better and easier it makes it for a scraper to get the wall clean of paper.
Cat, why did you take all that plaster down? Was something wrong with it?
This is exactly why wallpaper scares me and if I were buying a home I would request the existing owners remove the wallpaper in the offer.
I would just keep at it until it's done, don't put a timetable on the finish date. It will be done when it's done. You won't ever have to do it in that room ever again. If the room is on the chilly side you might do as the previous poster did and add more insulation at the same time but that is a lot of work and extra expense too although the results would be worth it.
I don't envy you but don't give up, stay the course, don't be a quitter. Play inspirational music and treat yourself to something special after each session. Ask some friends over to help out and make it more of a social thing.
Here is a 'in process' photo.
We had to renovate all our bedrooms upstairs in this house. They all had plaster walls. We pulled down all the plaster ourselves and redrywalled oursleves. A long process and loads of dust (controlled), but worth it. We had to do the ceilings too.
Otherwise redrywall over the plaster wall, and paint or wallpaper on that clean smooth surface.

Instagram saving pics to camera roll
Instagram is saving the edited pics to my camera roll even with my setting to save set to "off". Plus it creates an instagram folder of pics everytime! This happening to anyone else? Am I missing something?
Re: Instagram saving pics to camera roll
I think it only lets you turn off saving the original (a photo shot using the camera inside the app), not the edited version. So anything you filter and save in Instagram will go to that album. Some apps (Snapseed) allow you to disable that, others (Instagram, KitCam) do not. It's a drag.

Instagram saving pics to camera roll
Oh I gotcha. It didn't used to be like that. They must of changed that in some recent update. I guess I will be deleting pics each time I upload. Thanks for explaining that! I appreciate it!
Re: Instagram saving pics to camera roll
I'm guessing it's something Apple is now allowing, because in the last month a bunch of my usual photo apps have started using it : Snapseed, Instagram, Diptic, KitCam, etc. One tip: it can be easier to just go to the list of photo albums, click Edit, and delete the album(s) altogether.

Citing protests, Rep. Pscholka bows out of Blossomtime Parade
A West Michigan lawmaker has decided not to take part in a parade in Benton Harbor and St. Joseph Saturday because protests are expected at the event.
State Rep. Al Pscholka says the Blossomtime Parade is not the place to protest Michigan's new Fiscal Accountability Act.
Demonstrators are expected to rally against the recent actions of an emergency financial manager in Benton Harbor, where the elected city commission was stripped of all its powers.
Pscholka, a Republican from Stevensville, says in a written statement the parade is a wholesome community event and not the forum for a political sideshow conducted by professional agitators.
A staff member in Pscholka's office says the representative has left the state for a family event and is not available for further comment.
Governor Snyder will be the Grand Marshall at the Blossomtime Parade.
