OCTOBER 16 "FRIENDS - MAGIC OF..."


The original seven page pitch for friends described the show as a comedy about six people in their 20’s who hang out at this coffee house. As a concept, it didn’t exactly scream success. But as we now know, friends turned out to be one of the most successful sitcoms ever produced. The success of friends is no secret. The simple ideal that each one of us wishes we had the friends and comradery displayed in the weekly episodes. Somehow each week, we could get lost, into a TV, into a world of a virtue of long lost, “friends”.  In today’s day and age, with the business of life and hectic pace we live, friends is a by gone era, but the days of friends and being able to get lost in this surreal environment where friendships were still vital and cherished, this was and still is the secret of the sitcom. Officially it has ended, but unofficially, friends lives on. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the first episode of Friends and ten years since the show officially ended. I say officially ended only because friends continues to pull in the viewers. Up to 17 episodes per day are screened on comedy central which won the replay rights for another year. DVD sales are still going strong, with 77,700 sold in the UK in the past 12 months alone.

OCTOBER 15 "RE-UP - MARRIED AGAIN!"

Paul Chudnow, 71 and Phyllis Chudnow, also 71 decide after 50 years to get hitched for another 50. The mood was lighthearted before the 7:30 p.m. service. "I figured if you can last 50 years, you might as well look for another [50 years]," said Phyllis Chudnow, 71, who will be married to Paul Chudnow, 71, for 51 years in June. "It's something to celebrate," Paul said. The couple lives in Fort Lauderdale . What happened 50 years ago I’m sure is very special to this couple, but even more special, even more meaningful, is that 51 years later, whatever they felt, whatever moment they had, 51 years ago, it’s still going on 51 years later! This couple, “has it going on” beyond what any deluded teenager thinks about “how they have it going on”, this is the real deal!

MAY 13 "EVOLUTION VS. CREATION"

WHY VENUS SPINS THE  WRONG WAY -AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Evolution teaches that creation started by the "Big Bang Theory"; thence sending all sorts of particulars flying through the explosion through the momentum of a blast. If that were the case, the momentum of the blast, if we can somehow take a grand leap of faith that the blast created planets (big leap I know) than we can only conclude the planets would all be spinning in t...
