If your problem is still not solved, then tell us exactly what settings you have made in the phone.
All the best,

I repeat the contents of my post 153 below.
Nokia E51 supports SIP profiles. You can configure your SIP client yourself and make calls directly from your address book. Here I will tell you how to confirure Nymgo.
1. Go to menu->tools->settings->connection->sip settings
2. Create a new SIP profile using following settings:
Public username : sip:email@example.com
Service profile : IETF
Use compression : No
Registration : When needed
Use security : No
Proxy address :sip:ata.nymgo.com
Realm : ata.nymgo.com
Username: username (without @ata.nymgo.com)
Password: password
Allow Loose routing :Yes
Transport : UDP
Port : 5060
Registrar address : sip:ata.nymgo.com
Realm : ata.nymgo.com
Username: username (without @ata.nymgo.com)
Password: password
Transport : UDP
Port : 5060
3. Go to menu->tools->settings->connection->Internet telephone
4. Create a new Internet telephone profile using your Nymgo SIP profile.
5. Go to menu->connectivity->Internet telephone
6. Select your internet connection and your SIP profile should get registered.
7. Dial a number in international format or browse any number from address book and call this number using following options:
Options->Call->Internet call
When you are successful doing all this, you can see there are few other ways too to make your SIP calling more simple. All the best !!!

The ISSUE: Should the law be changed to allow homosexuals to wed?
10:00am Wednesday 18th April 2012 in Columns
"NO" says Mary Clarkson, Catholic Voices: "The reason for opposing same-sex marriage is not about gay rights. It is about what marriage is for and why it is valued by society.
Since 2004, gay couples have had the same legal rights as heterosexual couples. It is entirely right for them to enjoy equal rights and protection and I, for one, was delighted when the Labour government introduced the Civil Partnerships Act.
However, it is not clear what wrongs will be righted by introducing gay marriage.
The danger is that its introduction will lead to a change in the meaning of marriage, which will not benefit society in the long term.
Marriage belongs neither to state nor to religion. It has been valued for centuries as the basis of stable family life, where children can be brought up by a mother and father.
While lots of single parents and indeed same-sex couples do a wonderful and often heroic job of bringing up children, all research points to the fact that marriage between a man and a woman is still the best place to rear children.
Love and lifelong commitment are an essential part of marriage, but this is not the reason why it has been promoted by the state.
After all, many different relationships – between friends and siblings – for example are based on the same qualities.
No: what is important to society is less the love between adults, excellent though that may be, but the protection which marriage gives to future generations. We undermine it at our peril.
"YES" says Rafe Jeune, vice-chairman of Oxford Pride What I do not understand from the Conservative right is the mantra that marriage is the right way to live and bring up children, and is good for a stable society – but it is reserved for relationships composing of one man and one woman.
By definition this condemns all single parents, single-sex partners with children and the entire gay community.
How is this the right message to send to the younger generations? Is there really only one way to behave and live properly?
It seems to me that by rejecting homosexuals from a 'normal' way of life you are facilitating the tired stereotype of homosexuals having multiple partners and taking drugs instead of promoting secure and safe environments for them and their children.
As a gay person I believe we have the right to get married and by making this a viable option enshrined in law the government will be supporting healthy relationships between homosexual couples and give them the freedom to enjoy their lives without the stigma that their relationship is somehow second class or worthless in the eyes of the law.
While I respect that religious institutions need to express their opinions on marriage, in a modern secular country there is no room for the church card to be played and instead they should be welcoming the desire of homosexual couples to conform with their norms.

MIDDLE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - A southern New Jersey town now requires beggars to obtain permits and seeks to punish those who aggressively solicit donations.
The Middle Township ordinance defines aggressive begging as speaking to or following a person in a manner that would cause them to fear bodily harm or otherwise intimidating someone into giving money or goods.
The ordinance requires those who solicit money to obtain a permit at no charge and forbids solicitation by obstructing a pedestrian or vehicle, near an automated teller machine or bus or train stop, and in exchange for a service.
Fines start at $250 and include possible jail time.
Police Chief Christopher Leusner tells The Press of Atlantic City beggars who are not threatening and comply with the ordinance will not be punished.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Homicide detectives are investigating after a man was found dead in a home in south Louisville's Valley Station neighborhood.
Just before 6 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to a report of a man down at 5706 Alicante Lane, near the intersection of Dixie Highway and the Gene Snyder Freeway, according to MetroSafe.
Crime scene investigators taped off multiple houses and cars along the block near Pierce Way as detectives looked into the incident.
Dwight Mitchell, spokesman for the Louisville Metro Police Department, said the deceased is a white man in his early 30s. "We suspect foul play at this point," he added.
Mitchell would not release the victim's name nor how he died. Instead, he clarified that detectives believed the victim died inside the house while several other people were present.
"The Louisville Metro Police Homicide Unit is investigating," said Mitchell. "We are interviewing several witnesses at this time."
Tuesday morning, LMPD detectives spent time interviewing a person of interest found at the scene. She has not been arrested but police said that may change as the investigation unfolds.
"It's fair to say that charges may come later on," said Mitchell.
While the cause of the victim's death has not yet been released, word of the murder investigation is not sitting well with long time residents of the area.
"Totally out of character," exclaimed Rebecca Nunez, a 40-year resident of the neighborhood. "Totally out of character. This, this stuff don't happen here."
"I heard the sirens at six o'clock this morning," began Patricia Scheele, "So, I knew something was wrong."
Scheele has lived just a couple houses down from the crime scene for over 50 years. While she too was dismayed to learn of the homicide investigation, the great grandmother said it's actually not the first time crime has hit so close to home.
"Years ago we did have a murder down here on the corner. Many years ago," said Scheele. "It is a nice neighborhood. It's a shame that people have to live like this."
Neighbors like Scheele and Nunez hope this is the last time police cars and crime scene tape invade the neighborhood they've called home for decades.

Recent trends show a surprising redefining of the American dream of "having it all." More and more, "having it all" means not having it all – well, not having children, that is.
In what's sure to be another talker in the check-out aisle and the book stall, TIME magazine splashed an image of the "good life" on the cover of its most recent issue. This good life is child free and not making any apologies about it.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — On the surface, using Gloucester property tax revenues for what most would see as a church project would raise a few eyebrows, given our separation of church and state.
Yet, Gloucester's Community Preservation Committee indeed chose to do just that through providing $30,000 in Community Preservation Act money toward a project aimed at making the Unitarian Universalist Church on Middle Street fully accessible to the disabled. And the committee made the right call.
That's because the church, rich in more than 200 years of history, is rightfully recognized as an historic building. And given its use by its own congregation and other groups for concerts, as part of the Grace Center project for the homeless, and for a variety of other events, it is in fact a citywide resource and a longstanding source of community pride.
The project — launched after wheelchair-bond activist Joe Randazza sought to attend a Haiti relief fund-raising concert and needed four men to literally carry him up some two dozen steps to get in — has included the installation of an accessibility ramp, a new lift, an accessible bathroom and the widening of doorways to accomodate wheelchairs. And all of that has indeed made this historic building, as last week's headlined proclaimed, "open and accessible to all."
That's the way it should be — and the way our Founding Fathers would have wanted it as well. Indeed, this wasn't a project that crossed any lines; it's one that represents what the CPA, funded through a local property tax surcharge and state deeds registry funds, should be all about.
All who played a part in this project deserve credit for a job well done.

Why rural Wales needs better broadband more quickly - Sandbach
Conservative AM Antoinette Sandbach explains to Lynn Courtney why access to high-speed broadband is vital for rural areas and why the lack of it is harming rural businesses.
The Welsh Conservative conference is taking place at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.
Conservative AM Antoinette Sandbach explains to Lynn Courtney why access to high-speed broadband is vital for rural areas and why the lack of it is harming rural businesses.
Shadow Education Minister Angela Burns has been talking about the commission into affordable childcare she's chairing for the Welsh Conservatives. Opposition leader Andrew RT Davies announced her appointment at the party's conference in Swansea.
Alun Cairns MP, Nick Ramsay AM and Karen Robson discuss the themes of today's Welsh Conservative Conference with Adrian Masters.
In conversation with our Political Editor Adrian Masters, the Prime Minister defends his attack on the Welsh Government, saying it is "making mistakes" on the NHS, education and enterprise.
David Cameron says he leads a "very active, very pro-Wales, very pro-enterprise Government", committed to nuclear power on Anglesey and upgrading the M4.
DC says Labour crashed the car when running the economy.
David Cameron defends UK govt's approach to cutting deficit as 'moral issue' and welfare reforms as 'necessary' and a matter of fairness.
DC- Labour ground people down and wrote them off
In his speech to the Welsh Conservative conference David Cameron attacks the Welsh Government, saying "Wales needed the A-team but got the Muppet Show"
He tells Welsh Conservatives the UK is in "a global race against time" against competitor countries with extreme drive.
Opposition leader Andrew RT Davies will use his conference speech in Swansea to announce that he's setting up a commission to look at ways of providing what he calls 'proper, affordable childcare.' He's appointed Shadow Education Minister Angela Burns to head the commission. He'll tell delegates:
I want parents across Wales to look at the Welsh Conservatives and see a party that "gets it" and is doing something about it.
I want young people across Wales to look at the Welsh Conservatives as a party leading the way for aspiration.
So today, I'm pleased to announce that my Shadow Minister for Education, Angela Burns has set up a Commission to look at how we can provide proper, affordable childcare.
– Andrew RT Davies, leader of the Opposition
Following on from some of the great work already undertaken by the UK Government in this field, Angela will work with professionals from representational organisations and business to see how we can help parents across Wales to be as aspirational for themselves as they are for their children.
Engagement in real policy development is the only way we can sell ourselves as the party that 'gets it.'
The Assembly's Opposition Leader is expected to tell his party's conference in Swansea that Wales 'feels more removed than it has ever been' because of Labour's dominance of Welsh politics. Andrew RT Davies will accuse Carwyn Jones' party of thinking 'they have a divine right to rule in Wales.'
In a jibe at a lack of major changes around the cabinet table, he'll say that 'some of [Labour's] ministers amongst the longest continuous serving ministers in the Western World. They'd make some of the Eastern Bloc waxworks proud with their longevity!'
The conference takes place at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.
UK Cabinet ministers and senior Assembly politicians will be amongst the speakers at the party's Welsh conference in Swansea. It's being held at the Liberty stadium and delegates will be hoping some of Swansea's footballing success will add to their party's electoral prospects.

Chiefs further shake up coaching staff
The Chiefs have officially let go of defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast and also announced other changes to their coaching staff late Thursday.
Age aside, Chiefs may push to keep WR Chambers
While it was thought a couple of months back that there wasn't much chance the Chiefs would retain 31-year-old WR Chris Chambers in 2010, the stretch run of the '09 season might have changed their mind.
An illness running through the Kansas City Chiefs the past few weeks kept running back Jamaal Charles, linebacker Tamba Hali and left tackle Donald Stephenson out of practice Wednesday.||||||| Coach Romeo Crennel said that Hali and Stephenson were sent home soon after arriving at the team's practice facility.
The Chiefs have waived linebacker Cameron Sheffield to make roster space for Hali, who was suspended for Week 1 for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.||||||| Hali did not count against the Chiefs' 53-man roster while he was suspended for the season-opener against Atlanta. He's eligible to return for this week's game at Buffalo. Hali is coming off a standout season in which he had 12 sacks and reached his first Pro Bowl.
The NFL has suspended Hali of the Kansas City Chiefs for the season-opener against Atlanta for violating its policy on substance abuse. The league announced the suspension in a brief statement Monday without disclosing details.||||||| Hali will miss the Sept. 9 game against the Falcons and be fined an additional game check. He will be eligible to return the following day and he is still allowed to participate in preseason practices and games. The Chiefs play the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night.
A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press that Hali and the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms on a five-year deal worth $60 million.||||||| The person, who spoke late Wednesday on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made, said $35 million of the contract is guaranteed. The person also said that Hali will be at training camp Thursday afternoon on the campus of Missouri Western State University. Hali had been designated as the Chiefs' franchise player after a breakthrough season in which he led the AFC with 14 1/2 sacks.
The Kansas City Chiefs have put the franchise tag on Hali, with the team saying it was hopeful of reaching a long-term deal.||||||| The non-exclusive tag was placed on Hali on Wednesday. He can negotiate with other teams, but the Chiefs have the right to match any offer or receive two first-round draft choices for letting him go elsewhere. Hali led the AFC with 14 1/2 sacks this season and was a late addition to the AFC Pro Bowl roster. He also had 50 tackles, 19 quarterback pressures and four forced fumbles. He was the Chiefs' first-round pick in the 2006 draft.

UPDATED: Trains back to normal after fire
Updated 2:53pm Thursday 24th January 2013 in News By Steven Smith, Chief Reporter
TRAIN services have returned to normal after a fire caused major problems for train travellers between Bournemouth and Weymouth this morning.
South West Trains said a fire under a train was now out and nobody had been hurt.
The incident caused delays between Bournemouth and Weymouth.
Taxis ferried passengers from Wareham and buses were called in.
A spokesman for Dorset Fire and Rescue Service said: "Two crews from Weymouth attended Upwey rail station, Weymouth, just after 6am this morning following a 999 call to reports of smoke coming from the underside of one of the passenger carriages.
"All passengers, approximately 20, were evacuated from the train while DFRS and railway staff, who had used extinguishers on the fire before the arrival of fire crews, dealt with the fire.
"The train has now been removed from the platform area while crews and rail staff investigate further."
A South West Trains - Network Rail Alliance spokesperson said: "We can confirm that there was a fire between the conductor rail and the shoe gear beneath the 05.55 train from Weymouth to London Waterloo earlier this morning.
"None of the 20 passengers or staff on board were injured in the incident and the train crew quickly extinguished the small fire. Emergency services were called as a precaution. The problem with the shoe gear was at the front of the train and as a precaution two passengers were moved to the rear coach of the train where the other customers were seated.
"A bus replacement service was put in place between between Dorchester South and Weymouth while the train was moved and normal services were running by just after 9am.
We would like to apologise to our passengers for any inconvenience caused."

Cougars split with Odessa
ODESSA, Texas The Western Nebraska Community College baseball team split a doubleheader on Sunday against Odessa College in Odessa, Texas.
The Cougars pounded out 11 hits and John Timmins went five strong innings in powering WNCC to the 12-2 win.
WNCC, however, couldn't rid the offensive spark of the first game, tallying just one hit while falling 3-1 in game two. The Cougars finished the four-game, weekend series with Odessa going 1-3.
Sunday's first game was a huge lift for the Cougars, who were defeated 15-0 and 9-2 to the Wranglers. A big reason for the offensive punch was the team's hitting as they pounded out 11 hits, including five extra base hits.
Ozzie Gonzalez was the big hitter for the Cougars, going 2-for-3 with a double and a home run. He also scored two runs and had two RBIs. JT Core, Keeton Krause, and Nick Vanthillo each contributed two hits each.
The big inning for the Cougars was the second, where they plated six runs on five hits. The Cougars loaded the bases before Anthony Delgado ripped a two run-scoring single. WNCC kept finding the sweet spot on the bat as Core had a run-scoring single before Gonzalez doubled to centerfield to score another run for a 6-1 lead.
WNCC pushed the lead to 10-2 with four runs in the fourth on three extra base hits. Core got things started with a solo home run to rightfield that was followed by a solo shot by Gonzalez to centerfield. Krause followed with a double that scored two runs.
The Cougars added two more runs in the sixth. Vanthillo had a run-scoring single followed by Zach Ostergard with a run-scoring double.
Timmins and Krause combined on a four-hitter. Timmins gave up four runs on two hits. The freshman from Bellevue also walked four and struck out four. Krause threw one inning, walking two but striking out three.
The second game saw the Cougars nearly get no-hit. In fact, Odessa pitcher Jacob DelaCruz had a perfect game going through 4 2/3 innings before Pablo Garcia reached on an error with two outs in the fifth inning. DelaCruz then plunked David Martinez with a pitch. Garcia later came around to score on an error.
DelaCruz took the no hitter into the seventh before WNCC's Cameron Snyder singled to centerfield to break up the no-hit gem.
Wright picked up the loss despite throwing well. Wright went five innings in scattering four hits and allowing three runs. The right-hander also struck out six and did not allow a walk.
WNCC, 2-6, will be back in action this weekend for a five-game series against Barton Community College in Great Bend, Kan.

Long relied-upon funding sources for basic research are increasingly focused on shorter-term payoffs, and are being cut back even as needs and opportunities accelerate. The Marconi Society can make a difference by strongly advocating for more public and private investment in science education and research and by becoming a source of mentorship and encouragement for top students in the field.
In 2008, with a generous donation from 2007 Marconi Fellow Professor Ron Rivest, we created and launched the Young Scholars Award, selecting four scholars at U.S. universities to receive financial stipends and travel funds to attend our annual Awards Gala and to connect with some of the most sought-after mentors in the world, Marconi Fellows. Young Scholars make a commitment to remain involved in our organization, to attend future events, and to help us reach out and motivate other exceptional young scholars.
The Marconi Society made a commitment to continue to fund this successful program, and in 2009, five Young Scholars were chosen from top engineering schools in Italy, France, the U.K., and the United States. We also will continue to support the ongoing participation of existing Young Scholars, who immeasurably enrich our organization. To learn more about these exceptional young men, click here.
Young Scholar Updates
2008 Young Scholar Salman Abdul Baset, a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University, recently initiated an online lecture series where researchers and entrepreneurs present their work to university students in Pakistan over a video link. He hopes that such an initiative can be replicated all over the world, and will help bridge the knowledge divide, and foster interaction between students.

EECS PhD Candidate Honored by Marconi Society
Work on fundamental limits of wideband cooperative localization earns Yuan Shen the Young Scholar award.
Yuan Shen, a researcher and PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, received the Marconi Society Young Scholar Award for his work on the fundamental limits of wideband cooperative localization. The award was presented on Oct. 15 at the Marconi Awards Dinner in Menlo Park, Calif., where Adobe co-founders Charles Geschke and John Warnock also received the 2010 Marconi Prize.
Wideband cooperative localization is an emerging paradigm for determining precise position and time information of mobile nodes in a wideband wireless network that exploits cooperation among the nodes. Shen's work, detailed in a two-part paper in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory October 2010 issue, provides new insights into cooperative localization and facilitates the design of location-aware networks.
Now in its third year, the Marconi Young Scholar Awards Program recognizes outstanding young researchers in the fields of communications and the Internet. "Marconi Society Young Scholars have demonstrated extraordinary early promise and already have made an impact in their fields of research," said Robert Lucky, chairman of the Marconi Society. "The selection committee looks for candidates who show the potential to win the Marconi Prize — the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in communications science — at some point in the future."
Shen is one of three students chosen this year from an international slate of candidates. Shen was born in Shanghai and received his BS degree from Tsinghua University in Beijing. He held the Walter A. Rosenblith Presidential Fellowship and is working under the supervision of Professor Moe Win at MIT.
"Shen's work is impressive and he has chosen an important field of study," said Theodore Rappaport, a professor and founding director of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG) at the University of Texas at Austin. "Location awareness could revolutionize several present and future technologies since positional information is often needed to facilitate numerous operations. There are many important military and commercial applications that benefit from precise position and time information, including blue-force tracking, search-and-rescue operations, intruder detection, asset management, coordination of events, and authentication for secure communication."
The Marconi Society Young Scholars Awards were launched with a generous donation from 2007 Marconi Fellow Ronald L. Rivest, an MIT professor who co-founded RSA encryption, the major encryption system used throughout the world for secure transactions on the Internet.
The Marconi Society was established in 1974 through an endowment set up by Gioia Marconi Braga, daughter of Guglielmo Marconi, the Nobel laureate who invented radio (wireless telegraphy). Through symposia, conferences, forums and publications, the Marconi Society promotes awareness of major innovations in communication theory, technology and applications with particular attention to understanding how they change and benefit society.

Viva La Vida (song)
From WikiColdplay
"Viva la Vida" (Spanish for "Long Live Life")[1] is the second single released from Coldplay's 2008 album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. It was initially released along with the iTunes Store pre-order of the album on 7 May 2008, later becoming a download-only single on 25 May 2008.
The lyrics to the song contain historical and religious references, and the track is built around a repeating string section with a percussion background. The song was released on 7 May 2008 as the album's second single, debuting to critical and commercial success. Viva la Vida has reached the top spot of the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first number-one single, as well as their only Transatlantic number-one.
The song has been used in a cross-marketing campaign with the iTunes Store. A nationwide iTunes commercial was aired on May 20, 2008 in the United States during the finals performance episode of American Idol, as well as the following night on the season finale of American Idol season 7, featuring the band performing the song.
Coldplay performed the song live for the first time at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards.

During the album's production, Viva la Vida is one of the songs that had polarized each member's opinion over which version they should choose. In an interview, vocalist Chris Martin recalls, "... we did quite a few different versions and went round the houses a bit and eventually settled on those treatments for it."[2]
Vocalist Chris Martin has explained the song lyric "I know Saint Peter won't call my name" in an interview with Q magazine: "It's about... you're not on the list. I was a naughty boy. It's always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analyzed on it. And this idea runs throughout most religions. That's why people blow up buildings. Because they think they're going to get lots of virgins. I always feel like saying, just join a band (laughs). That is the most frightening thing you could possibly say to somebody. Eternal damnation. I know about this stuff because I studied it. I was into it all. I know it. It's still mildly terrifying to me. And this is serious."
When asked about the song, bass guitarist Guy Berryman said, "It's a story about a king who's lost his kingdom, and all the album's artwork is based on the idea of revolutionaries and guerrillas."
Unlike the typical arrangement of Coldplay songs, in which either the piano or guitar dominates, "Viva la Vida" mostly consists of a drum string section playing the song's upbeat riff, along with a steady bass drum beat, percussion (including a timpano and a church bell), bass guitar, and Chris Martin's vocals; there is limited use of electric guitar in the song. All the strings are arranged and performed by violinist Davide Rossi, who is also one of the main collaborators of the album.
The song's Spanish title, "Viva la Vida" is taken from a painting by 20th century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. It translates into English as "long live life".
Lyrical meaning
The lyrics to Viva la Vida contain historical and religious references.[3] Martin has explained the song lyric "I know Saint Peter won't call my name" in an interview with Q magazine: "It's about ... You're not on the list. I was a naughty boy. It's always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analysed on it. And this idea runs throughout most religions. That's why people blow up buildings. Because they think they're going to get lots of virgins. I always feel like saying, just join a band... That is the most frightening thing you could possibly say to somebody. Eternal damnation. I know about this stuff because I studied it. I was into it all. I know it. It's still mildly terrifying to me. And this is serious."
When asked about the song, bass guitarist Guy Berryman said: "It's a story about a king who's lost his kingdom, and all the album's artwork is based on the idea of revolutionaries and guerrillas. There's this slightly anti-authoritarian viewpoint that's crept into some of the lyrics and it's some of the pay-off between being surrounded by governments on one side, but also we're human beings with emotions and we're all going to die and the stupidity of what we have to put up with every day. Hence the album title."
Unlike the typical arrangement of Coldplay songs, in which either the piano or guitar is the prominent instrument, the track mostly consists of a string section playing the song's upbeat riff, along with a steady bass drum beat, percussion (including a timpani and a church bell), bass guitar, and Martin's vocals; there is limited use of electric guitar in the song. All the strings are arranged and performed by violinist Davide Rossi, who is also one of the main collaborators of the album. Although Coldplay are widely labeled as an "alternative rock" band, "Viva la Vida"'s classical composition and historical subject matter have led to the song being labeled as "baroque pop" and "chamber pop".
But how does it sound? Pretty good, and it is a stronger cut than Violet Hill It opens with a triumphant string melody, and it's the violins that carry much of the song. It's a cleaner-sounding cut than the more aggressive "Violet Hill," but it still glides along with an urgency not heard often enough in Coldplay's music.
By tapping producer Brian Eno, comparisons to U2 will be inevitable, and Viva La Vida brings a bit of U2 grandeur with its epic build, but it still colors the song with enough fresh sounds to demand repeated listens. Things get rolling with a frisky violin, and Chris Martin puts it in check with a commanding vocal turn, singing "I used to roll the dice / Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes."
Moments later the song gets more interesting, with a flash of rhythm momentarily sending a more electronic-sounding beat to the background. References to Catholicism grace the song, and Martin repeatedly declares that Saint Peter will be calling his name.
But never mind the biblical nods. The song further reveals the Coldplay of "Viva La Vida" to be a hungrier, more interesting band. Indeed, as the song builds, strings disappear into a twittering of electronic atmospheres that bridge the verses. Even the addition of church bells sound off just enough to not be corny. As the song comes to a close, a jaunty piano helps carry some background "whoa-whoas," and there's not a guitar in sight. Instead, "Viva La Vida" is swift-moving minimalist orchestra.
Critical response
Critics were positive towards the song. In the Entertainment Weekly review of the album, critic Chris Willman wrote: "Take the title track ... on which [Martin] imagines himself as a paranoid monarch. 'Who would ever want to be king?' Martin asks. 'Revolutionaries wait/For my head on a silver plate!'. The confident majesty of the music, however, belies how he and his bandmates have invigorated their rock-lite reign." Josh Hathaway from The Plain Dealer noted "Viva la Vida" as the "catchiest" song in the album. Chris Jones of the BBC noted: "The string/brass mutations that bolster a track like ["]Viva La Vida["] ... conjure tunes so sweetly melancholy." In the IGN review, critic Chad Grischow wrote, "It is their one and only foray into unabashed orchestral pop, but the punchy strut of the strings and fantastic marching vocals make it far too charming and lively to dislike, and even harder not to love." Viva la Vida has been nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or a Group at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Viva la Vida won the Grammy for Song of the Year and Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals and the whole album won Best Rock Album. This song was number 9 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
Chart performance
Viva la Vida has become Coldplay's highest-charting single. Fueled by high digital sales, the song peaked at the top spot of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first number-one single and their second top ten on the Hot 100. It is the first song by a British group to reach number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 since "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls in 1997, and it is the first song by a British rock band to top the chart since UB40's 1993 song "Can't Help Falling in Love". Although the song was initially successful in digital sales, after being released, it went on to become the band's highest-charting single in American radio, becoming their first top ten hit on the Hot 100 Airplay where it peaked at number eight.[29] It had also become the band's first number-one single on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Viva la Vida also became the first song to top both the Hot 100 and Modern Rock chart since Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" in 2001 and 2002. On the Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks, the song has become the band's first number one, as well as the first single on the Capitol Records label to ever top the chart.
The single was also successful in the United Kingdom. Although the song had been disqualified from the UK charts due to initially being available only by pre-ordering the album on iTunes, it became eligible to chart after the album was released. "Viva la Vida" hit number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Coldplay's first chart-topping single in the UK.
In Canada the single made a "Hot Shot Debut" at number four on the Canadian Hot 100 on the issue of 24 May making it Coldplay's highest debut there.
Release and promotion
"Viva la Vida" was initially released only with iTunes Store pre-orders of Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends on 7 May 2008 (as the "New Edit" version of the song), which led to the song's temporary exclusion from the UK Singles Chart. It was released as a download-only single on 25 May 2008, and a physical CD single in Europe on 29 July 2008, to coincide with the release of the single's music videos.
The song was used as part of Apple Inc.'s iPod + iTunes advertisement campaign, while Coldplay performed the song live for the first time at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. It has since gone on to make many media appearances, featuring in the episode "We're Not in Kansas Anymore" of the new teen drama 90210 as a song played on the radio, appearing on the international soundtrack to the Brazilian soap opera A Favorita and played during the final week of games at Yankee Stadium.
Music video
The official music video for Viva la Vida was directed by Hype Williams and premiered at Coldplay's official website on 1 August. The video features the band performing in multi-colour backgrounds, including the album's artwork (used for the majority of the video) and speeding clouds (used in between verses and in parts of the final chorus). The video ends with every band member crumbling to rose petals that fly into the air.
A second, alternate video was shot in the Hague, the Netherlands, directed by Anton Corbijn and released alongside the first. This second version is a tribute to Corbijn's video for Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" and portrays Chris Martin as the king from whose perspective the song is sung. During the video, he carries a larger framed version of the cover art for the album. At the end, we see him hang the picture up in a white stall on top of a hill. As he sings the last chorus, his band mates surface heading his way, tying in loose ends from the Violet Hill video.
A parody of this music video (Viva la Cheata) was done on the FOX sketch show MADtv. It starred Jerry O'Connell as John Edwards who sings about how his affair and possible love child has ruined his political career, but is confident that he'll rebound since political sex scandals have been around for a long time.

Chart performance
"Viva la Vida" has become the band's most successful song, becoming their first number one in both the U.S. and the UK. Fueled by high digital sales, the song debuted at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100, and later became the band's first #1 single and their second top ten on the Hot 100. It is the first song by a British group to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls in 1997, and it is the first song by a British rock band to top the chart since UB40's 1993 song "Can't Help Falling in Love". Although at first the song was primarily successful in digital sales in the U.S., after being released it went on to become the band's biggest radio hit in the U.S., becoming their first top twenty hit on the Hot 100 Airplay, where it peaked at #11. It was also successful on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart reaching number one, their first number one on the chart, beating out previous songs "Talk" and "Speed of Sound" which peaked at #5 on the same chart. On the Adult Top 40, the song has become the band's first number one, as well as the first single on the Capitol Records label to ever top the chart.[8]
Although the song had been disqualified from the UK charts due to initially being available only by pre-ordering the album on iTunes, it became eligible to chart after the album was released and hit #1, becoming Coldplay's first chart-topping single in the UK. After descending to number 2 just a week and number 7 the following week, the single dropped out of the top 10, but over a month later on 17 August 2008, it re-entered the top 10 at number 10, probably due to the release of the Viva La Vida music video on UK music channels.
Coldplay have reached a record-equalling 30 weeks in the dutch Top 40 single charts which they've accomplished with their single Viva La Vida. Coldplay are currently tied with (I can't get no) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, and Only A fool by Mighty Sparrow. Should Coldplay stay in the charts for another week, Viva La Vida will be officially recorded as one of the top 10 longest charted singles of all time in the Netherlands. Viva La Vida held the no.1 position in Netherlands for three weeks.
The song reached the top ten in Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada, Ireland and Australia, becoming Coldplay's highest charting single in most of those countries.

Plagiarism allegation
Coldplay were briefly accused of copying portions of "The Songs I Didn't Write" by American alternative band Creaky Boards, for the melody of "Viva la Vida". Creaky Boards' band member Andrew Hoepfner claimed that Chris Martin had heard the track at one of their shows. Coldplay denied the claims; band spokesman Murray Chambers said "Chris was working in AIR Studios in London" at that time.
Creaky Boards later retracted the accusations and now speculate that both songs may have been inspired by the video game The Legend of Zelda.
In December 2008, American guitarist Joe Satriani filed a copyright infringement suit against Coldplay at the Los Angeles federal court. The suit claims that "Viva la Vida" incorporates "substantial original portions" of his instrumental track "If I Could Fly" from his 2004 album Is There Love in Space?. Coldplay has denied the allegation, saying the similarities were "entirely coincidental". Answering Satriani's claim that parts of their No 1 hit Viva La Vida were copied, the band wrote:
With the greatest possible respect to Joe Satriani, we have now unfortunately found it necessary to respond publicly to his allegations. If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental, and just as surprising to us as to him. Joe Satriani is a great musician, but he did not write or have any influence on the song Viva La Vida. We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavours.
The Oracle on Viva La Vida
January 31, 2013 - submitted by Rick W, United States of America
Q. In the alternate video for Viva La Vida made by Anton Corbijn, it looks like the beach Chris walks onto around 2:36 is the same one he walked on in the music video for Yellow. Is this really the case?
The Oracle replies:
Nope, there was only ever the one video visit to Dorset's Studland Bay.
November 28, 2012 - submitted by Valentina, Colombia
Q. Why Viva La Vida? Why in Spanish? I know that it can be called Death and All his friends too, but why the alternative name?
The Oracle replies:
Viva la Vida's title was inspired by Frida Kahlo's painting of the same name hence it being in Spanish. There is no alternative title; Death & All Of His Friends is a separate song that is tagged on to VLV.
April 21, 2011 - submitted by Lucas, France
Q. Hi Oracle, hope you're fine.
Are the very last notes of Viva la Vida -after the last chorus- played by an accordion?
The Oracle replies:
No, it's keys - electric piano in fact. You know how Chris gets the organ sound on Fix You? Well, same thing here but I guess it does sound like an accordion.
May 5, 2010 - submitted by Tanya, Italy
Q. Dear Oracle...
Just wanted to ask you if you or Coldplay ever heard about the Viva La Vida version Lady Gaga did a couple of weeks ago on Radio 1 live lounge? If yes, did you like it? I thought it was pretty cool and a nice tribute to Coldplay (even though she forgot or changed the words sometimes!)
The Oracle replies:
Eh Tanya? That was over a year ago?? I remember hearing it at the time and never telling Chris that I didn't like it. The he asked me last December what I thought about her; he's a big fan of her work.
April 15, 2010 - submitted by Luke, Canada
Q. Would the band mind if I used the title "Viva la Vida" for the title of a book I am writing, since its inspired by the song?
The Oracle replies:
It wouldn't be up to the band as to whether you could have the same title because Viva la Vida is a commonly used phrase; as you may know the band took the name for their 4th album from a Frida Kahlo painting. I'm confident you could use it as you can't exactly copyright a phrase.
July 2, 2009 - submitted by Natale, Australia
Q. Hi Oracle
I was wondering apparently there are two videos for Violet Hill and Viva la Vida
Which are the official videos?
Also the other ones were they just jokes or just a tried ideas?
Hope you answer.
The Oracle replies:
There are indeed two videos for both of those tracks and both are official. They were far from jokes, they were just alternative videos. Trouble had two videos for different reasons. To find out why, click Trouble in the tag cloud.
October 21, 2008 - submitted by Cindy, Netherlands
Q. Dear Oracle, can you tell me when and where the video for Viva La Vida 2 was filmed? It looks like Holland, and seeing Anton Corbijn filmed it, it probably is Holland. If so, too bad I missed them.
The Oracle replies:
It was shot in the Netherlands by, as you say, Anton Corbijn which is also why is bears more than a passing resemblance to another of his previous videos for Depeche Mode; Enjoy The Silence.
October 15, 2008 - submitted by Abi, United States of America
Q. How did u come up with the name 4 Viva la Vida? I mean the song doesn't even say Viva la Vida once.
The Oracle replies:
There's no rule to say that the title has to be included in a song's lyrics, many Coldplay songs don't (Amsterdam anyone?) Viva la Vida took its name from a Frida Kahlo painting of the same name.
In fact there are thousands of famous songs that don't, for example Bohemian Rhapsody, Smells Like Teen Spirit, The Unforgettable Fire and Peace Frog (Any excuse to be able to listen to this!) to name but a few.
August 18, 2008 - submitted by Jonas, Spain
Q. Dear Oracle, Are Coldplay really fans of Depeche Mode or the optional video of Viva la Vida is just a parody of Enjoy the Silence?
The Oracle replies:
The band are indeed fans of Depeche Mode. It's not a parody though, more of an homage. The videos were both directed by Anton Corbijn. FYI: Coldplay's Tour manager Franksy, used to be TM to Depeche Mode.
August 5, 2008 - submitted by Yoanna, Hong Kong
Q. When will Coldplay release their "Viva La Vida" music video? I'm still looking forward to watch this. A lot of boring people made fake music video on YouTube...And is it true that the iTunes ad is a little part of the real "Viva La Vida" music video? *Thanks Oracle sir!"
The Oracle replies:
There are 2 Viva la Vida videos on the website now.
July 31, 2008 - submitted by Justin, United Kingdom
Q. What does Viva La Vida mean?
Where did Viva la Vida come from?
The Oracle replies:
Literally translated from Spanish, Viva la Vida means Live the Life. The name is taken from Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's 1954 painting of the same name. FYI this year's Edinburgh Festival showcases the play Frida Kahlo: Viva La Vida.
July 29, 2008 - submitted by Zaituni, Tanzania
Q. What is the name of the song that goes "for some reasons I can't explain..."
The Oracle replies:
Viva la Vida.
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listened as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead, long live the king" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield Missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you'd gone there was never Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know St Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world

Attempted break-in at Lunch 4 U in St Barnabas Road, Woodford Green in same week as owner injures herself with crate
Updated 3:39pm Friday 8th February 2013 in Redbridge By Dominic Sutton, Senior reporter
Unlucky sandwich shop owner Val Martinelli has had a bad week.
Ms Martinelli, who runs Lunch 4 U in St Barnabas Road, Woodford Green, arrived at work yesterday morning to find her door hanging off its hinges.
She said: "It was half open and you could see someone had been hacking at it trying to break it.
"They must have given up, because nobody got into the shop, but it's not great is it?
"The police did turn up, but they didn't say much."
This is Ms Martinelli's second brush with crime in four months.
In November a thief made off with a charity box full of cash for vulnerable children from the counter while staff were in the kitchen.
And the latest incident capped a miserable few days for the 59-year-old.
She said: "On Saturday I was packing up a plastic crate when it sprang open and hit me in the face.
"I fell over on top of it with the shock and gave myself a massive black eye.
"That's the way it goes sometimes. It's been one of those weeks you just want to forget about."
