JUST THIS MORNING the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported that our beloved Yellowstone National Park hosted some 675,000 visitors during the month of June – a 6% increase over the same month last year and just short of the all-time June record. One hundred and forty years after its designation as our country's first National Park, the allure & luster of this all-American vacation hasn't waned. In fact, now more than ever, Yellowstone provides the perfect opportunity to escape from the e-mails, step back in time and simply enjoy one's breathtaking surroundings. For example, last week I visited the park with three Wisconsin natives – my boyfriend Ethan and his mom and stepdad. All of them were simply amazed (and camera-happy) by our uniquely Western surroundings, even before we entered the official park entrance in West Yellowstone, Montana. Once in the park we saw the bubbling mud fountain pots of the lower geyser basin, followed by iconic "Old Faithful," erupting a perfect 90 minutes after its last show of glory. We saw the snow-capped Absaroka mountains in the background and the stunning lupine and Indian Paintbrush wildflowers in the foreground on the banks of Yellowstone Lake. We stood at Artist's Point and captured truly art-worthy shots of the lower falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We saw elk, deer, bison and even a wolf. Yet perhaps the most amazing thing about our day in the park was that we didn't get 3G, 4G or wireless coverage, and didn't need it. We weren't checking the latest news on Facebook or Twitter because indeed the best and most exciting news lay in the anticipation of our next roadside wildlife sighting. When we settled back in Big Sky that evening, with wireless again, we could share our photos on Facebook. But we could also reflect on the rare and old-fashioned quality time we had spent together. And providing just that may be Yellowstone's greatest attraction of all.

Cacadu District Win Peter Mkata Competition
12 Oct 2009
The annual tournament was held in honour of the late Peter Mkata, a KWARU and black Springbok flyhalf and one of the finest rugby players produced by the Eastern Cape. Seven districts took part in the four day event which started on Thursday in PE.
The Cacadu district ( Humansdorp/Patensie/Hankey/Somerset-East and Grahamstown) emerged as the winner of the Peter Mkata Memorial schools tournament when they beat Itembelihle by 5-3. It was a bruising encounter played in cold and windy conditions at the Wolfson stadium in New Brighton.
Both teams ended top in their respective pools. Itembelihle beat Oliver Tambo by 10-0,Alfred Nzo 15-6 and Ukuhlamba by 17-6. and Midlands 15-10 in the semi final.
The Midlands side had earlier been beaten 43-10 by Cacadu. Their players were a determined outfit and Itembelihle had to pull out all the stops to defeat them.Hero for Itembelihle was fly half Mbembe Payi who scored all his sides points via two drop goals and three penalties. Midlands scored two unconverted tries. Cacadu then hammered Ukuhlamba in the other semi-final.
The powerful Cacadu district, a combination of the best players from the district were the overwhelming favourites before the game, but the Itembelihle side came to show why they are so highly rated in the province. The game moved from the one side to the other of the field as both sides tried to take control. For Itembelihle, big number eight ,Zingisa April, had a storming game as he kept his side going forward with some strong running. Lock Sihle Mngautwa made sure that Itembelihle won their fair share of lineout ball. Itembelihle kept the Cacadu scrum under pressure and in doing so nullified their brilliant backline. Itembelihle were first to score when flyhalf Payi kicked a penalty just before half time. He missed a second attempt from the touchline as the strong wind just blew the ball away!. Itembelihle led 3-0 at the break. Cacadu upped the tempo in the second half , kicking for position and then using their bigger forwards to try and wear Itembelihle down, but a huge defensive effort from Itembelihle kept them out. Here hooker Godfrey Ndongeni and lock Gift Magenuka put in spome big hits. Cacadu eventually scored after sustained pressure for about ten minutes on the Itembelihle try line when their scrumhalf scored in the corner with about three minutes to go. Itembelihle took a quick kick off, regained the ball and took it through several phases before over eagerness led to a knock on with flyhalf Payi lined up for a drop goal attempt. Cacadu booted the ball out from the scrum to emerge victors. There were several tired and battered bodies after the game, playing five games in four days against the best in the province is certainly no joke.
Itembelihle will now travel to East Londen on the 30th September till the 2nd of October for the annual Dennis Botha top 16 schools competition.with another five gruelling games awaiting them before their season finally ends!

Would be on these few sentences
1. Every kid deserves a rich smart BIOLOGICAL dad.
2. If women prefer the rich, how can there be many kids with poor dad?
3. If it's your money, and women prefer you, why should it be someone else' cock?
I learn game theory and evolutionary psychology a lot to see answers to these 3 truth riddles. The answers are obvious but incomplete.
I went from forum to forum and am surprised by people's response to my statements. It's as if everyone else is under some powerful spell that they don't see the obvious.

Amy and Dan find themselves in a new global race but this time, everything's different. Those closest to them might be working for the enemy, and Amy and Dan are forced to ask themselves how far they're willing to go to save the kidnapped Cahills. How much can you risk when there's no one to trust?
The Vespers have ordered Amy and Dan to find a legendary map that belonged to Marco Polo, and the hunt takes them to Eastern Europe where they make a terrifying discovery about one of their supposed "allies."
Amy and Dan have managed to rescue one of the Cahills kidnapped by the Vespers, but the remaining hostages are still in peril. Their search for the next ransom item leads Amy and Dan to Turkey and then to Italy where a visit to the site of an ancient disaster changes everything. The Vespers are far more dangerous than the siblings ever imagined and, even worse, it looks like they have an undercover mole posing as a Cahill. Amy and Dan have to face the biggest decision of their lives with nowhere to turn... and no one to trust.
After pulling some spectacular heists, Amy and Dan have become two of Interpol's most wanted criminals. So when Vesper One orders them to steal the world's largest diamond, they know they're facing life in prison...or worse. But with the Cahill hostages still in peril, Amy and Dan have no choice but to launch a mission that leads them to an ancient city full of dangerous secrets. With a Vesper mole sabotaging the Madrigals from inside, Amy and Dan have to fulfill their enemy's request before it's too late. Vesper One has developed a taste for killing Cahills, and Amy and Dan aren't going to wait to see who's next.
A surprising twist brings Amy and Dan back to New England for their first mission on U.S. soil since the beginning of the Clue hunt. But being close to home is anything but a comfort. The siblings have learned that there's a mole in the Cahill organization.... And the traitor is one of their closest confidantes. However, this betrayal is overshadowed when Amy and Dan make an even more devastating discovery: the truth about the Vespers' real plan. Burdened with this terrifying information, Amy and Dan are forced to ask an impossible question: Is it more important to save the hostages...or stop the Vespers?
International best seller David Baldacci pens the stunning conclusion to Cahills vs. Vespers! David Baldacci is the author of 23 books for adults, each of which has become both a national and international best seller.

Gov. Jerry Brown is unveiling his third budget since reclaiming the governor's office.

It's expected to be the first time in many years that the nation's most populous state does not face drastic budget cuts.
The state still must address a $1.9 billion deficit, but that is far from the $25 billion shortfall Brown faced when he started his latest term as governor two years ago. Thanks to tax increases approved by voters in November, California is projected to start running budget surpluses within two fiscal years if Brown can keep the Legislature's Democratic supermajorities in check and hold down spending.
"You can take this to the bank: We're not going to spend money that we can't afford to spend," Brown said earlier in the week. "We have to do more with less; that's just the way life is."
California's general fund spending hit a high of $103 billion before the recession decimated the state's economy and severely cut tax revenue for the state and municipalities. It dropped to a low of $87 billion during the 2011-12 fiscal year, requiring lawmakers to make deep cuts in a wide array of state services, including K-12 schools, higher education, the court system, and social services for the needy and disabled.
Many Democratic lawmakers want to use the $6 billion a year in extra tax revenue to rebuild those services. But Brown has said the 2013-14 fiscal year, which begins July 1, will be marked by "fiscal discipline and living within our means."
He promised last fall during the campaign for his tax initiative that the extra money would go to schools, colleges and universities.
Cuts are still expected in some areas, such as the courts, because lawmakers are required to pass a balanced budget. But after years of debating how much to cut from education and other programs, Brown and California lawmakers can turn their attention to setting spending priorities and revamping some of the state's funding schemes.

Each day, the first bus will leave Tusayan at 8 a.m. from the IMAX, while the first bus will leave the Grand Canyon Visitor Center at 8:30 a.m. The last buses will leave both Tusayan and the Grand Canyon Visitor Center at
9:30 p.m.
Shuttle buses will make the following four stops in Tusayan:
• IMAX Theater/R.P.'s Stage Stop,
• Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Inn,
• Grand Canyon Airport (Grand Canyon Airlines terminal), and
• The Grand Hotel
This summer, visitors should expect temporary modifications to shuttle stop locations and parking areas in Tusayan due to significant road construction, including streetscape improvements and construction of permanent shuttle bus stop shelters. Every effort will be made to communicate these temporary changes and to accommodate visitors utilizing the shuttle bus service.
Public parking for Tusayan shuttle riders is available near the IMAX Theater, R.P.'s Stage Stop, and at the Grand Canyon Airport. Those taking advantage of the shuttle service will have expedited entry into the park and will be able to connect with the park's free shuttle bus system at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center.
The Tusayan Shuttle is free of charge; however, visitors entering the park via shuttle bus will need to purchase their entrance passes in advance.
Entrance passes can be purchased at most of the hotels in Tusayan, including the Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Inn, the Grand Hotel, Grand Canyon Red Feather Lodge and Canyon Plaza Resort. Entrance passes can also be purchased at the IMAX Theater, R.P.'s Stage Stop, the Grand Canyon Airport at the Grand Canyon Airlines terminal, Tusayan Trading Post and the Wild West Experience.

This is the same slime mold I've looked at in previous weeks. Today I went back with Leslie Flint, and she both pulled off the remnants of the one atop the log, and also noted a larger mass of slime mold below.
This piece of lichen had fallen off of a nearby lichen-laden rock. The first shot is from below, the second (unfortunately out-of-focus) is from above.
We were hiking at the right hour to see the soap plant bloom! We even saw one open right before our very eyes! We watched a large bee pollinate it.
This time I was hiking with Leslie Flint, so I feel more secure in *our* ID

Oh No. I don't believe it. This is the week that I finalised all my flights and bookings for my trip to the U.S. and Canada. But I'm coming in August/September - not October. WHAAAAA!!
I would have loved to come to the Convention too.
Oh well, we'll have to wait and see if there's another one in a couple of years' time.

I'm hoping for another convention too. It's great being on the East Coast so I can read the email faster, but it also costs a ton more to get to SLC. I don't think it's in this year's budget.
Posted 03 May 2008 - 09:02 PM
So who is going?! I am contemplating, although I really need a vacation WITH DH, not away from him:) LOL! For now, I am interested in whether anyone ANYWHERE in the vicinity of Iowa is thinking about attending and would be interested in driving (eep!) I'm not certain I could get away for that long, but it would sure be cheaper, no matter how high gas prices are, if I could get 2-3 others to ride with me:) Anyway, I'm putting out feelers:)
Posted 23 May 2008 - 08:30 AM
I would love to go. It's only about a 16 hr. drive for me. Alas, I can't make it because my youngest DD's birthday is right in the middle. Family comes first. Sorry Scrapgirls. I hope everyone has a fun time though. My BF Sara (ThreeTadpolesMom) is going and promises to fill me in on all the details and maybe I can go to the next one.

I got my hair chopped off this past weekend (when I say chopped I mean about 10"). What a relief. Like Dana said, I feel like a new person. Or at least a less tangly snarly greasy one.
This is actually my second time donating my hair to Locks of Love. I figure I might as well, why not? Seems like a waste to do it any other way.

Hi mums and dads, and anyone else who wants to give me advice!
I have a 16 month old toddler, Stephen. He's too youn'g to understand that mummy is disabled of course, but I've been thinking about haw I play the disability and medication thing as he grows up. I take some strong pain relief every day. I'm careful to keep it out of reach and locked up in a box, I have no doubt it would be seriously poisonous to stephen if he took any of it [shudder]. I'm just wondering what my attitude to my medication should be when I'm around him? I torn between two possibilities: wanting him to understand that these are mummy's tablets that she has to take, but they are dangerous and would make him very poorly so he mustn't touch them, or trying to be inconspicuous when I take the tablets so that they aren't on his radar, as it were. I'm leaning towards the former. what does everyone else think?

Samusenko Family Contacted by Local Authorities
By: Michael Holden
Updated: March 19, 2013
MARCH 18, 2013- An Erie family awaits word tonight on whether a body pulled from Presque Isle Bay is that of a missing teenager...
The cousin to missing Erie teenager Jacob Samusenko, confirmed to us that the family has been contacted by authorities, but the body still needs to be identified.
She says there is still a lot of uncertainty, and the family gathered in prayer tonight.
Monday afternoon the call went out to local authorities just after 2:30 that a body was found floating in water near the Maritime Museum.
"Call from a woman who observed what she thought was a body in the east lip. We responded and found body floating in the bay," says Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin.
The body was described as heavily decomposed by officials on the scene who gathered the remains.
"We had a report of a lady saying something in the water. Wasn't sure if it was a body or some object dispatched dive tea, and crews down there. Did in fact get two divers in water and did locate a body in the water," says Mike Fahey Erie Fire Deputy Chief.
Fire department rescue divers pulled the body from the water in what Deputy Chief Mike Fahey says was a quick recovery.
"It was actually a quick recovery. Two divers in the water right away able to get a floating device around him. We were able to bring him over to docks and lift the body out of the water," says Fahey.
Even though the body has not been identified, Coroner Lyell Cook says it is a white male.
The family of missing 17-year-old Jacob Samusenko confirmed to us that local authorities have contacted them directly.
Samusenko disappeared as he was taking out trash in front of his parent's home on Erie's East side nearly two months ago.
Search parties have been held, but nothing has turned up. The family even united in prayer Sunday evening for a special vigil, calling on god for answers.
Now, his family is gathering in prayer once again and waiting on word if a body discovered Monday afternoon is that of Jacob.
An autopsy and dental exam is scheduled for 10 tomorrow morning.

Network Optimisation
Emerging markets, global sourcing, merger and acquisitions, new collaborations / logistical co-operations, rising fuel prices and an increased sensitivity to environmental topics make network redesign a hot topic. During the economic crisis, resizing of networks to increase utilisation was also a key theme.

Hey all, very close to getting my first Spitfire. Have been reading all I can on sizes etc. and I reckon I'm right between 5'8 and 5'10. I am 6'1 tall, 82 Kgs = 180 Pounds (hope to be 2kg lighter soon), 49 years old, inter to inter/advanced, fit for my age.
My current board is a CI pod 6'0, which I broke last week (creased wiping out in 5ft close-out barrel) and is being repaired. I've been really happy with it but want to get something a little more edgy and radical but also for small days. The 6'0 pod paddles awesome and catches waves really well, and I'm sure I should have gone a bit smaller in the pod, probably 5'10 if I got another one. I am a very experienced surfer, can surf anything pretty well, but would classify my style as smooth and fast but not radical and vertical. I want a board that can help me change this style and push the critical and vertical stuff more.
So I'm pretty sure my decision is between 5'8 and 5'10. The other one I would like opinion on is FST or Rapidfire. I have had a 6'8 FST alternator (way too big I know) and I do like the FST technology and delayed spring, but never tried rapidfire. Love the look of the rapidfire, love that bamboo deck. After breaking the pod I'm quite keen to have strength but I wouldn't want to compromise weight for it. Which is lighter and does rapidfire last well or is it better to spend a bit more on the FST which will live a bit longer?
Thanks in advance for any opinions or suggestions :).

Er, yeah, supposedly I saw on a Yugioh Livejournal about a Yugioh GX Manga in the like February issue of V-Jump. Don't know anything else.
This is sweet! I hope it is manga adaptions of the anime, those are cool.
Er, yeah, supposedly I saw on a Yugioh Livejournal about a Yugioh GX Manga in the like February issue of V-Jump. Don't know anything else.
This is sweet! I hope it is manga adaptions of the anime, those are cool.
The only thing I can think of is Yu-Gi-Oh! R, something completely different, and the fact that the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! GX was going to debut. GX is not a manga.
Reminder from August 09, 2010- Name my future Reshiram "Griffin"...
My Current HeartGold Team:
If you want, look at Yu-Gi-Oh! C,Pokiman, and Naruto C, but they haven't exactly been updated recently...
STILL REJECTING PMs. SORRY. (No offense to anyone.)
They are making a manga for GX,FYI!
~Back After a Long Break~
~Quit Pokemon~
~Full Time Halo 3~
As shown here there is no such thing as yugi-oh gx manga coming.
Actually, yes there is. It's coming out in JAPAN this Febuary, hence why it won't be on that site, and the attachment card is called 'Dandylion'. And I very much doubt Tamer Zack would be fooled by false information.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it coming out in Japan. Even though it won't be here in the US, but I know a site that's going to have scans on the matter.
Actually, I've also heard from the site mentioned above that the manga is an adaptation of the show.

Lelouch is watching over all of us.
From the pictures I've seen, it looks like a new story not in the anime (Same characters). For example, there is a picture of Jaden dueling some guy (Who looks like General Maes Hughs from FMA, as alot of people have noticed) using a Tyrannasauras thing.
Also, their seems to be some new Manga exclusive E-Hero's. Don't be surprised if some of the Manga will sneak in to the anime.
Who is making this manga series? And can you give me a link to this live journal?
The Manga better well have some appearences from old YGO characters. I'm still waiting for my Haga and Ryuuzaki. >_>;
Still, Chronos helps the pain.
I've heard that the only old YGO characters that make an appearance are Yugi, Kaiba and the Paradox Brothers. None of the older ones do. I wouldn't mind seeing Ryuuzaki and Haga though.Originally Posted by Alfonso
I don't like Professor Chronos very much...he doesn't like Judai and I do.

Are you talking about the anime or the manga?Originally Posted by ♥~Mimori Kiryu~♥
Anyway, I bet they'll have this in Shonen Jump graphic novels. Of course, they don't even have Yugioh R in Shonen Jump graphic novels yet, so I dunno.
Is anyone going to answer my questions? ¬¬

Well I'm glad that the original creator is working on the manga; even though I'm not a huge fan of Yu-Gi-Oh (I don't collect the cards anymore because I thought it was useless to collect them and I can't stand the anime. Strange that I'm posting here, eh? ;D). The manga was.....alright, though it was only really good at the start of the manga.Originally Posted by Tamer Zack

[New Official GX Manga by Kazaki Takahashi]
Many people ask me a lot about GX manga. Here is the official ad published in the latest V-Jump. The GX is going from anime to comic soon. It will be published in V-Jump, which is currently publishing Yu Gi Oh R, from the next issue, issue#2 first released 12/17/2005. Following the ad, it seems that the characters and stories are different from anime's. Also, E-Hero monsters are also new only for manga. People have been talking about this topic in the forum, please go and enjoy discussing there ne~ Of course, if it's in V-Jump, I will post up the scans for us as usual ^^.
Original Work: Takahashi Kazuki
Manga: Kageyama Naoyuki
I will come back and finish all missing GX translaings after my exam next week and Thanksgiving holidays. Sorry for my busy time. Anyway, at least, we have known already about Edo's past and his intention of using Hero for the revenge. It seems that my team already updated some short details in the episode. Edo's deck list and Judai's deck list have also been updated. Please check around by yourself.
Lastly, good news for music fan, my team has already created live concert of Genkai Battle performed by Jam Project. Many people seem interested in it a lot. I will release it after I come back from the holidays. Please check in the forum for early release.
can't wait...
but it's suppose to be TO DIFFERENT CHARACTER beside...Judai and Sho (who i saw in a preview sketch of the manga)...
and some NEW E-HERO...ONLY for the MANGA...NOT for the ANIME..lol

Firstly, let me reiterate how difficult this list was for me, as a life-long Simpsons fan, to compile. Of course we know that the Simpsons hasn't always been at full strength (some of the later series just didn't do it for me in terms of hilarity or poignancy) and it's common knowledge that ratings have been slipping steadily since around series ten or eleven; although I do feel that The Simpsons Movie marked a welcomed return to form for the series when it was released in 2007.
They're one of the most iconic images on TV recognised, within in a fraction of a second by anyone who sees them. With a staggering 22 complete series and 23rd currently airing, it's the longest running sitcom ever to air and – after questionable, but ultimately satisfactory contract negotiations with the actors – it shows no sign of ending any time soon. There's something about the Simpsons, clearly, that we can't get enough of.
That said, there's understandably a seemingly endless list of episodes; a number that's fast approaching the 500 mark in fact (what is this, a Japanese anime?!) and while not all of them are great, a nicely sized percentage of them are. Here at WhatCulture!, we've watched a lot of Simpsons and we've decided to sort through this bountiful treasure trove of comedy genius to bring you our top 25 episodes ever.
So without further a d'oh, here goes…
25. There's No Disgrace Like Home (Season 1, Episode 4)
When Mr Burns' favour is curried by a loving family at a company picnic, Homer uses the last of their money to buy family therapy, which he hopes will cure his eternal woe. An early insight into the true depth of their dysfunction, this episode introduces Dr Marvin Monroe as the therapist faced with the daunting task of fixing the Simpsons.
It's an early milestone on the Simpsons journey; cementing the fact that, despite their inability to function as a family unit, they are in fact bonded at the core by a deep love and understanding, even if it's not so apparent on the surface.
Stand Out Gag:
Homer sits, depressed, in Moe's Tavern.
Homer: You know, Moe, my mom once said something that really stuck with me. She said, "Homer, you're a big disappointment," and God bless her soul, she was really onto something.
24. Life on the Fast Lane (Season 1, Episode 9)
After Homer buys Marge a bowling ball (aptly named 'Homer') for her birthday, she becomes angrily determined to take up the sport in order to spite him. This unwittingly leads her into the sights of the French bowling instructor Jaques. He's debonair, patient and nurturing (basically everything that Homer isn't), and for a minute there it looks like Jaques might just bowl marge off her feet.
It's one of the early episodes to examine the many frailties of Homer and Marge's marriage. Sure Homer is a slob, he's reckless and self-involved. But he's also fiercely loyal at crunch time and always does the right thing in the end. It's clearly that which Marge is after and their 'Officer and A Gentleman' role reversal at the bottom of the episode can't help but leave a warm, fuzzy aftertaste.
23. Bart The Daredevil (Season 2, Episode 8)
After witnessing a brutal failed motorbike stunt at a monster truck rally, Bart decides he wants to become a daredevil. Despite injuring himself pretty rapidly, he persists to the dismay of Homer and the others, and is determined to jump the Grand Canyonesque 'Springfield Gorge' on his skateboard.
At the last minute, Homer dissuades him from the jump and they reconcile; but of course, Homer is stood on the board as part of one of his symbolic gestures and suddenly finds himself careening toward the gorge in Bart's place. Homer often ruins heartfelt family moments with his buffoonery, but for me this is still one of the more heartfelt moments, and it's maybe more spectacularly ruined than any other:
22. Homer Defined (Season 3, Episode 5)
I'm sure I don't have to re-iterate the severity of a nuclear meltdown; when Homer fails to notice a rising warning meter it's up to him alone to stop it from happening. After he uses the old 'eenie-meenie-mynie-mo' method to decide which button to press and it actually halts the meltdown, he's branded as a hero by the whole town, but suffers guilt at the knowledge that he simply lucked out. Of course come the credits he's exposed as the incompetent that he is, and the phrase 'to pull a Homer' gets printed into the dictionary to describe an occurrence of dumb luck.
It has all the ingredients of a great Simpsons episode; silliness and mayhem in heaps, but rich character development and exposition. It's episodes like this that have helped to define Homer Simpson as one of America's best loved idiots.
Stand Out Gag:
Homer panics, as the Nuclear reactor threatens meltdown.
Homer: Okay. Okay, think back to your training!
[The Past]
Trainer: Now, Homer, this may very well save your life one-day. This… Homer?
(Homer is playing with a Rubik's cube.)
Homer: Yeah?
Trainer: Please, pay attention. This button here controls the emergency override circuit. In the event of a meltdown, push this button and only this button.
(Homer is still trying to solve the Rubik's Cube).
Homer: Ooh, a side!
Trainer: Simpson!
Homer: What?
Trainer: You see which button I'm pushing?
Homer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Push the button. Got it
[The Present]
Homer [to the Rubik's Cube]: Stupid cube, this is all your fault!
21. The Last Temptation of Homer (Season 5, Episode 9)
Another episode where Simpson fidelity hangs in the balance (yep, marital discord is a repeated theme); this one sees Homer smitten with a beautiful new employee at the power plant, Mindy. She's crass, forward, loves beer and junk food and oddly, she has a big thing for Homer too. When Burns' sends them to an energy conference together, Homer's faith is tested to its limit.
It's almost the reverse of the Jaques situation from Life on the Fast Lane, and of course it's just as satisfying to see Homer beat back temptation as it is Marge. With a heartfelt message about monogamy at its core and a renowned guest star performance from Michelle Pfiefer as Mindy, The Last Temptation of Homer won the ratings race the night it aired, as well as garnering high praise from both audiences and critics.
Stand Out Gag:
As usual, Homer is sat in Moe's.
Homer: Moe, I need your advice.
Moe: [uninterested] Yeah.
Homer: See, I got this friend, Joey Joe-Joe Junior… Shabadoo?
Moe: That's the worst name I ever heard.
[a man runs crying out of the door]
Barney: Hey, Joey Joe-Joe!
20. I Married Marge (Season 3, Episode 12)
The early backstory episodes of the Simpsons, those that explore the lives of the family before the beginning of the on-going story, are some of my personal favourites. When Marge suspects she may be pregnant again, Homer takes the opportunity to recount the tale of their marriage, and the subsequent birth of Bart.
Episodes like this help to flesh out the Simpsons 'Universe', giving events – no matter how ludicrous – a sense of existence in time and space. They convey a sense that there's been a Springfield since before we knew about it, and therefore a sense that life will continue for the Simpsons even after the show finally ends. Let's be honest, thanks to this episode (and others like it) the Simpsons are as 'real' as any family we might gawp at on a reality TV show, and usually convey a far more positive sentiment.
19. The Homer They Fall (Season 8, Episode 3)
This is most certainly one of the best sports-themed Simpsons episodes available (there are a few dotted throughout, some great some not so much). After Homer absorbs a vicious beating, Moe, revealing himself to be a failed prize fighter, suggests he takes up boxing. Homer works his way up the rankings, his style to let his opponent pummel him until they're exhausted, before finally being offered a shot at heavyweight champ Drederick Tatum (a thinly veiled Mike Tyson parody, who's gone on to cameo on numerous occasions).
Moe is one of the more popular Simpsons characters, out of a cast of hundreds, and its thanks in part to episodes like this. Obviously Homer is a central character, but The Homer They Fall reveals much more about Moe; with a long-running show like the Simpsons, even tertiary characters are given deep, rich backstories.
18. Bart's Comet (Season 6, Episode 14)
After ruining Principal Skinner's weather-balloon (hilariously), Bart is forced to assist him in his amateur astronomy. When Bart inadvertently discovers a meteor that's heading for Springfield – appropriately dubbed 'The Bart Simpson Comet' – the town is cast into a panic. Ned Flanders grants the Simpsons a place in his bomb shelter, but soon the rest of the townspeople demand entry as well. And there isn't quite room for everyone.
Homer's relationship with Ned Flanders is somewhat outrageous; Homer often actively screws him over, even in the face of Ned's overwhelming kindness. But why does Ned put up with it, in fact why does anyone? Bart's Comet wasn't the first episode, in which Homer ultimately risks his life for another, and it certainly won't be the last but for me, it's certainly one of the warmest, yielding satisfying insights into the America's longest running neighbourly relationship.
Stand Out Gag:
Homer: Get out of there. My family needs to use your bomb shelter.
Ned: I kind of figured this might happen, so I built the shelter big enough for both our families.
Homer: No deal. Out.
17. Bart of Darkness (Season 6, Episode 1)
There are plenty of Simpsons parody episodes, but Bart of Darkness is easily one of the most loved and well-remembered. It's the hottest day of the summer and the Simpson's family, desperate to keep cool, buy a back yard pool and soon their house becomes the local hotspot for the town's children. When Bart falls from the tree-house and breaks his leg in a botched attempt to jump into the pool, he's forced to spend the summer in jealous isolation his room with only Lisa's telescope for company.
It's an almost note-perfect skit on the late, great Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, and a parody of Jimmy Stewart actually appears in this episode to commemorate it ("Grace, c'mere. There's a sinister looking kid I want you to see"). The gags themselves are laid on heavily, and consistently hilarious, but also the idea that Ned might actually have murdered Maude makes for succulent, exciting drama.
Stand Out Gag:
Bart: I'm telling you, Ned Flanders murdered his wife!
Homer: But why? She's such a fox! [Marge shoots Homer a look] I mean, what's on Fox tonight? Something ribald, no doubt…
16. Homer's Barber Shop Quartet (Season 5, Episode 1)
Despite Homer's status quo as an unmotivated slob, he's done more in his life than even the most successful billionaire; Homer's Barber Shop Quartet details one of the more popular of these past adventures. At a local swap meet, Bart and Lisa discover an L.P album by the Be Sharps that has Homer's face emblazoned on the front.
Homer then recounts the story of his jaunt into professional musicianship; it's a parody of the Beatles rise to fame and George Harrison even cameos during the group's reunion performance on the roof of Moe's.; Homer's Barber Shop Quartet is an infinitely watchable and consistently gleeful reminder that, in the Simpsons, anything can happen, or can have happened in the past – a fact that the writers constantly derive gags out of.
Stand Out Gag:
Bart: Man, that's some story!
Lisa: But there are still a few things I don't get. Like, how come we never heard about this until today?
Bart: Yeah, and what happened to the money you made?
Lisa: Why haven't you hung up your gold records?
Bart: Since when could you write a song?
Homer: [laughs] There are perfectly good answers to those questions. But they'll have to wait for another night. Now off to bed!
15. Flaming Moe's (Season 3, Episode 10)
After Homer accidentally discovers a alcoholic beverage (with Krusty brand cough syrup as the key ingredient), which is greatly enhanced when it is set alight, Moe steals the idea dubbing it the 'Flaming Moe' instead of 'Flaming Homer'. When the new drink turns Moe's into a celebrity hotspot, Homer is consumed with jealousy and reveals the cough syrup as the secret ingredient, souring a deal that would earn them both half a million dollars.
As discussed in The Homer They Fall, over the years Moe has become one of the Simpsons best loved tertiary characters. His often tumultuous relationship with Homer has been explored in depth across the series, but it largely began with this episode, Flaming Moe's – which is one of the first Simpsons episodes to feature the disgruntled bartender in a central role. It's an early gem from the Simpsons that has featured in best Simpsons lists on popular sites like IGN, Entertainment Weekly, AskMe.com and AOL.
Stand Out Gag:
Bart attempts one of his legendary crank calls to Moe's.
Moe: Flaming Moe's.
Bart: Uh, yes, I'm looking for a friend of mine. Last name Jass. First name Hugh.
Moe: Uh, hold on, I'll check. (to the bar clientele) Hugh Jass! Somebody check the men's room for a Hugh Jass!
Hugh: Uh, I'm Hugh Jass.
Moe: Telephone. (Hands over the receiver)
Hugh: Hello, this is Hugh Jass.
Bart: (Surprised) Uh, hi.
Hugh: Who's this?
Bart: Bart Simpson.
Hugh: Well, what can I do for you, Bart?
Bart: Uh, look, I'll level with you, Mister. This is a crank call that sort of backfired, and I'd like to bail out right now.
Hugh: All right. Better luck next time. (hangs up) What a nice young man.
14. Homer the Great (Season 6, Episode 12)
Homer discovers that many of his friends are members of a shadowy Freemason style group known as the Stonecutters. When they won't let him join, Homer becomes depressed revealing that he's been getting left out of social situations his whole life. But even when he's discovered as the prophesized 'chosen one' to lead the group, his inane antics soon cause unrest amongst the lesser members.
If you've ever been ostracized from a group before (a more common occurrence than one might think) then it'll be easy for you to relate to this episode. Like all of us, Homer just wants to be liked, to be accepted for what he is, and in a way Homer the Great is an episode in which Homer is at his most poignantly vulnerable. And with Patrick Stewart in one of my personal favourite guest star roles, it's easy to see why it's featured highly on this list.
Stand Out Gag:
Marge: Oh, Homer, don't start stalking people again. It's so illegal. Remember when you were stalking Charles Karault because you thought he dug up your garden.
Homer: Well, something did.
Marge: I don't want you stalking people tonight.
Homer: All right, fine. I'll be right back. I'm just going outside… to… stalk… Lenny and Carl… D'oh!
13. The Boy Who Knew Too Much (Season 5, Episode 20)
When Bart forges a dentist note to get out of an extra-long school day, Principal Skinner pursues him across Springfield, determined to prove his truancy. After ducking into one of Mayor Quimby's parties to escape, Bart witnesses the apparent assault of a French waiter by the Mayor's nephew Freddy.
Thanks to Freddy Quimby's fiery demeanour the whole town are convinced of his guilt and only Bart knows the truth- but revealing it will be damning evidence of his truancy, and earn him months in detention. Despite this though, Bart can't see an innocent man suffer (that isn't Homer). Bart's a little terror of that there's no doubt, but it's episodes like this that remind us of the good that's at his core.
Stand Out Gag:
Lionel Hutz interviews Dr. Hibbert at the trial of Freddy Quimby.
Dr. Hibbert: Well, only one in two million people has what we call the "evil gene". Hitler had it, Walt Disney had it, and… Freddy Quimby has it.
Lionel Hutz: Thank you, Dr. Hibbert. I rest my case.
Judge Snyder: You rest your case?
Lionel Hutz: What? Oh no, I thought that was just a figure of speech… Case closed.
12. Lemon of Troy (Season 6, Episode 24)
Lemon of Troy is the point where Springfield's neighbouring town of Shelbyville, and the intense rivalry that exists between the two, is first properly explored. When some Shelbyville kids steal Springfield's prized Lemon tree, it's up to Bart and his friends to cross the town borders and take it back.
It's a hilarious episode that poses Shelbyville as an alternate Springfield; in fact, the head of the Shelbyville kids, Shelby, is a spitting image of Bart, and his father is also the image of Homer, albeit with a little more hair. In Lemon of Troy there's a real sense that in an alternate universe there's a show based on their exploits instead of the Simpsons.
11. Bart Sells His Soul (Season 7, Episode 4)
When Bart sells his soul to Milhouse for the paltry sum of $5 he soon notices disturbing changes; Santa's Little Helper will no longer embrace him and the automatic door to the Kwik-e-Mart won't open. When he attempts to get his soul back, he finds it's been sold and he pursues it desperately across Springfield. I've been trying to focus on main plots so far in this article, but the sub-plot to this episode deserves a special mention; Moe turns his bar into a family restaurant, named Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag – with hilarious consequences.
Bart Sells His Soul received high praise from audiences and critics alike, as well as from the theological community, who were in admiration of the episodes thoughtful, introspective examination of the nature of the human soul. Matt Groening himself cites this episode as one of his personal favourite; little wonder then that it places so highly on this list.
10. Homer Loves Flanders (Season 5, Episode 16)
Another Ned themed episode (obviously-a-diddly), Homer Loves Ned places admirably as the first entry in the top ten. It's further proof that Homer does not do things by half. When Ned hooks Homer up with prime football tickets, Homer decides to put his unfounded grudge on hold and become friends with America's favourite God-botherer. But of course, soon, Homer begins to take their friendship too far; to the point of stalking (the Terminator 2 skit in this episode is to my mind one of the funniest cultural references the Simpsons has ever done).
This episode has stuck in my mind since I first saw it way back when. It's from what I like to think of as the golden age of the Simpsons; that period when there was no such thing as a filler episode, when every moment we were watching seemed funnier than the last. Homer Loves Flanders is a perfect representative of this golden age – just check out that Terminator parody again, and I challenge you not to laugh:
9. Grampa Vs. Sexual Inadequacy (Season 6, Episode 10)
When Homer and Marge's sex-life is on the rocks, Homer gets help from the unlikeliest of places. Abe Simpson's wild-west style rejuvenation tonic puts the 'boing' back in Homer's pants and his passion for Marge is reignited. After shifting bottles of the stuff on the whole town, Homer sees the products potential and he and Abe go on the road as Simpson & Son to sell as much of it as they possibly can. But soon trouble arises, when Homer's resentment toward his childhood arises as a major bone of contention.
It's a tender episode that examines Homer's relationship with his father in greater depth than others before it. I've not always had the easiest relationship with my own father over the years, and so this episode has a special place in my heart (in fact it's probably why I love the Simpsons so much in general); come the end, Homer realises that he loves his father, even if he isn't always emotionally available and conversely, Abe loves his son too. Lovely stuff!
Stand Out Gag:
Homer: Ooh, mama! This is finally, really happening. After years of disappointment with get-rich-quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme…and quick!
8. Homer Vs. The Eighteenth Amendment (Season 8, Episode 18)
In this episode, Springfield suffers the greatest crisis Homer has ever known; an old prohibition law is re-enacted, making all booze illegal. To make matters worse, comically incompetent Police Chief Wiggum is replaced by the single-minded Rex Banner, whose only mission is to make sure the alcohol ban is enforced. Of course, Homer can't survive without booze can he? Before long he finds himself at the centre of a bootlegging business that caters to the alcoholic needs of the entire town.
It's a clever look at alcoholism that doesn't just take the side of the non-drinker; it recognises that alcohol, while it may in many cases lead to addiction and can generally be taken as a negative, it's also an inherent part of our society (encapsulated by the gag that the episode ends on: "To Alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems"). A great sentiment, that doesn't pander, but instead presents a mature, objective argument that's considerate of both sides.
Stand Out Gag:
[Homer attempts to sneak off to his illegal distillery, but is confronted by Marge]
Marge: Why do you have so many bowling balls?
Homer: Ah, I'm not gonna lie to you, Marge… So long!
[He struts out of the house, while Marge growls].
7. And Maggie Makes Three (Season 6, Episode 13)
Another Simpsons backstory episode, And Maggie Makes Three begins with the family leafing through their old photo albums (much to the dismay of Bart and Lisa). Lisa comments on the fact that there are no baby photos of Maggie and Homer launches into a story that exposes how Maggie was born. Forced to quit his dream job at the bowling alley, Homer grovels for his old job back at the power plant, with Burns' fitting a plaque in his booth that he must look at every day reading 'Don't Forget, You're Here Forever". I'm still getting goose-bumps thinking about what he does to the plaque using Maggie's pictures…
For me this is the best of the Simpsons backstory episodes; it's particularly tender as we're shown how much Homer has sacrificed in order to support a third child and possibly points at contributing factors in his continuing alcoholism and rage problems. What it invariably exposes though, is Homer's true character as a loving father and husband, and the reason Homer Simpson is one of the most admired characters in sitcom history, despite the fact that he's a bumbling idiot.
Stand Out Gag:
[Homer sits on the bed ranting to Marge]
Homer: We're gonna have to have a baby! All our financial plans are ruined! We're doomed! Doomed I tells'ya!
[Homer screams as his head expands to twenty times its normal size and explodes].
[We jump back to the present]
Marge: Bart! Let your father tell the story.
6. The City of New York Vs. Homer (Season 9, Episode 1)
One of the few later series' episodes to appear in this list, The City of New York vs. Homer follows the Simpsons family to New York city, after Barney leaves his car on the plaza of the then standing World Trade Centre's twin towers. While Homer must wait across awhole day for a parking attendant to release his car, Marge and the Kids take in the sights. Unfortunately, Homer is in the bathroom when the attendant arrives, and in a rage he drives away with the clamp still attached, unleashing a characteristic mayhem on the City that never sleeps.
Fictional towns and boroughs like Shelbyville, Brockway and Ogdenville serve to flesh out the Simpson's universe, but sending the family to New York City helps to solidify the characters into the our world, and into an instantly recognisable, real-world location. The City of New York vs. Homer has widely been regarded as one of the best of the bunch by fans and critics and its musical number 'I'm Checkin' In' even netted the show two awards.
Stand Out Gag:
Homer: All right, New York. I'm coming back. But you're not gonna get this!
[Homer throws his wallet into the lit fireplace]
Lisa: Dad, our baby pictures are in there.
Homer: Don't you start!
5. Homer's Enemy (Season 8, Episode 23)
We all love Homer Simpson; everything he says and does is pure Homer, but there's no way to predict what he'll say or do next. But can you imagine meeting someone like Homer in real life? This episode places, in essence, a real person into the Simpsons universe. Frank Grimes essentially suffers none of the short-sightedness or inability to learn that characterizes most Springfield natives. He's motivated, hard-working and observant and when introduced to Homer takes an immediate disliking, thanks to his abundance of flaws.
Poor Frank doesn't get a break once in this entire episode, and you'll probably already know how he meets his fate by the end. It's no surprise it features in the top 5. It's a dark episode, one of the darkest outside of the Treehouse of Horror vignette episodes in fact, and has been cited as a high favourite for many of the show's top level creators (including Groening himself, as well as Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein), and even the Office creator Ricky Gervais, love him or hate him.
4. Homie the Clown (Season 6, Episode 15)
I've found it particularly difficult to rank these top five; by this point, I have an affinity for each one almost equally. Homie the Clown is, simply put, hilarious from start to finish. When Krusty creates a clown college to alleviate spiralling debt, Homer is unable to put the advertisement out of his mind. Of course it wouldn't be a Simpsons episode unless he enrolled, but after he graduates, the local mob (led by Fat Tony) mistake him for the real Krusty, who's overdue on a gambling debt.
Many of the episodes that I've included in this top 25 have earned their place thanks to character development, strong dramatic or emotionally resonant storylines, or sharp social commentary, but Homie the Clown roundly trounces them on the strength of its gags alone. It maintains a constant chuckle, peppered with a generous helping of belly laughs and must be considered one of the funniest Simpsons episodes around. And here I though clown's were supposed to be scary…
3. You Only Move Twice (Season 8, Episode 2)
The concept of this episode is to my mind one of the best in the entire 23 series to date. When Homer takes a job at the Globex Corporation and moves his family into a new, futuristic house, he finally finds himself happy, with a friendly, supportive boss in Hank Scorpio. As the Simpsons adjust to their new environment, Homer, ignorant of his surroundings, fails to realise that Hank Scorpio is in fact a Bond-esque villain bent on world domination.
This is another episode that for me maintains a constant level of satisfying humour throughout, complimented by moments of riotous hilarity. It exposes the true depth of Homer's ignorance; even during the attempted torture of a clear Bond parody, Homer is still blind to his nice boss's villainous nature. Since its original airdate, You Only Move Twice has been massively rated by its critics and fans, and IGN even gave it the accolade of best episode of season 8.
2. Itchy and Scratchy Land (Season 6, Episode 4)
Maybe I was right at just the right age when I first caught Itchy and Scratch Land, but for me there's only one finer episode (and that's obviously up next). When the Itchy and Scratchy theme park opens for business, Bart and Lisa are desperate to go. Persuaded by their pestering, Homer and Marge agree to take them.. When the Itchy and Scratchy animatronic parade robots are driven into a bloodthirsty by a comically unexplained programming flaw, the Simpsons are left alone in the park to fight a horde of murderous cat and mouse robots.
Itchy and Scratchy Land is the most unnecessarily dangerous and violently themed amusement park I think I've ever seen, in reality or fiction. It's a fantastic setting that that slyly indicts parks like Disneyland and the like, and allows for a truly satisfying storyline, both dramatically and comically. As always, early Simpsons is first and foremost for subtle (and sometimes not so subtle, but consistently funny) social commentary and satire.
1. Homer Badman (Season 6, Episode 9)
And here we have it; my number one Simpsons episode of all time. Let me stress again how difficult this list has been to order and it was with much deliberation that Homer Badman ended up in the top spot, but in my eyes, it's earned it. When Homer persuades Marge to accompany him to a candy convention, they leave the kids with a babysitter; a strong feminist woman with a vague intolerance for men.
After stealing a priceless Gummi Venus de Milo (in one of the funniest single set-pieces in the entire series lifespan – "See you in Hell, candy boys!"), Homer takes the babysitter home, only to notice that the decadent sweet is stuck to her behind. Innocently grabbing it, she takes this contact as an unwanted sexual advance and turns the entire town against him. Soon, the Simpsons front lawn is turned into a media circus; each company seeming to have decided on Homer's guilt without a shred of evidence, which of course makes up the townspeople's minds for them. It's only when Groundskeeper Willie admits to secretly taping the whole thing that Homer's innocence is proven.
I can watch this episode again and again, with its fantastic range of settings, it's thick and fast gag structure and it's absolutely flaming core indictment of media sensationalism. There are a few gags in Homer Badman that I'd cite as high favourites (I've mentioned one above, but I feel the poorly re-edited interview between Homer and tabloid show 'Rock Bottom's' presenter God…frey Jones deserves a mention). Of course, in a bittersweet ending, Homer watches the Rock Bottom report on groundskeeper Willie and immediately judges him without thought; it's a clever way of saying media sensationalism is unfortunately here to stay.
Stand Out Gag:
[Homer's TV interview]
Homer: Someone had to take the babysitter home. And that's when I noticed that she was sitting on her
Homer: sweet can. So I grab
Homer: her
Homer: sweet can. Ooh, just thinking about her
Homer: can
Homer: I wish I had another
Homer: sweet s-s-s-s-s-s-s-weeet…
[Godfrey Jones looks at Homer with distaste]
Godfrey: So Mr. Simpson, you admit you grabbed her 'can'. What do you have to say in your defense?
[A badly freeze-framed image of Homer fills the screen]
Godfrey: Mr. Simpson, your silence will only incriminate you further.
[The freeze frame begins to slowly zoom closer]
Godfrey: No! Mr. Simpson, don't take your anger out on me! Get back, get back! M…Mr. Simpson, NOOOOOOOOOO!
So there are our top 25 Simpsons episodes. How do you feel about it? Of course, there are far greater than 25 episodes that are worthy of discussion and there's no doubt that someone out there is going to feel unrepresented. As usual drop us a line and make it known if we missed any.

Solo Physician Practice Recruiting Dwindling
If trends hold true, there will be a time in the near future when the only place to find a solo medical practice will be on You Tube.
The 2012 Review of Physician Recruiting Incentives from Merritt Hawkins found that recruiting doctors into solo practice "has almost entirely abated."
>>> |
"Only 1% of Merritt Hawkins' search assignments in 2011/12 featured a solo practice setting, down from 2% in the previous year and 22% 11 years ago," the Dallas-based recruiters noted. The survey results are based on 2,710 permanent physician and allied professional searches that Merritt Hawkins/AMN Healthcare did from April 2011 to March 2012.
Kurt Mosley, vice president of strategic alliances at Merritt Hawkins, says he believes that two- and three-physician practices may soon be placed on the endangered list.
"The magic number now is six or more physicians. That is what it is going to take to survive," Mosley tells HealthLeaders Media. "I don't know exactly why, but it seems that groups of six or less are going to have a heck of a time making it because of cost and IT implementation and overhead. It's just not going to work."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

The headline is based on searches assigned to Merrit Hawkins, it would be interesting to see some data on the type of clients who submit these searches. Additionally it would be interesting to find data on the success rate (lenght of emlployment, reasons etc) on these Physician/Hospital committments as well as these 6-Physician-Groups.

You will learn a lot about Ceará and the history of their people, religion, traditions and even toys. It is a very nice place to visit.
I was there in December/12 and unfortunately can not say much, as most of the attractions were closed. It seems to be a rich place for local culture and I didn´t see much in English... might be boring for foreigns.

We have been there to see the monument and an exhibition about Brazilian toys. No explanations in English... I think it would have not been a difference, if I haven't gone there.
This attraction in Fortaleza was shut everytime we visited it during the day. There didn't appear to be very much there, which is a pity. I have heard the restaurants and bars nearby are good in the evening. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it - there are better places to spend your time.
Nice place to visit with interesting Cultural attractions in downtown area. Bar and reataurants with live music. Check for shows
An interesting cultural center located behind the Iracema beach and close to the downtown area. Unfortunately there is very little cultural events going on. The Café Santa Clara, with an organic coffee and many little bars surrounding the area is a good stop for a snack, specially at night, if you want lo listen good music.
The commodity of having all in the same place with nice restaurants and bars lots of people and good music.
Not to be confused with that other 'Dragão do Mar', because that's a gay sauna, just around the corner ;-) Fortaleza is not so attractive. The center does even scare me a bit. But maybe that's because I am always in the car of my friends instead of strolling and breathing the real Fortaleza spirit. This Cultural Center is an... More

Supreme Court decision (February 8, 2013) |
In a 4-1 decision, the state's highest court affirmed an appeals court finding that Michigan's 2008 medical marijuana law does not allow people to sell pot to each other, even if they're among the tens of thousands who have state-issued marijuana cards.
"The Court of Appeals reached the correct conclusion that defendants are not entitled to operate a business that facilitates patient-to-patient sales of marijuana," the court's majority wrote.
The state's marijuana law makes no mention of dispensaries, nor does it indicate how people should get the drug. It says people can possess up to 2.5 ounces of "usable" marijuana and keep up to 12 plants in a locked place. A caregiver also can provide marijuana.
Matthew Abel, a Detroit attorney who specializes in medical marijuana law, said now the issue of dispensaries has been settled, it is time for Michigan lawmakers to weigh in.
"This is the end of the road. This is it," said Abel, whose firm is known as Cannabis Counsel PLC. "It will be a mess until the Legislature clarifies what kinds of business entities are allowed to exist."
The Supreme Court said Compassionate Apothecary in Mount Pleasant can be shut down as a "public nuisance."
The business' owners had claimed they weren't doing anything illegal because the law allowed for the "delivery" and "transfer" of marijuana. The business allowed its members to sell marijuana to each other, with the owners taking as much as a 20 percent cut.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, whose office sided with the Isabella County prosecutor's office in the case, praised the Supreme Court's ruling.
"Today, Michigan's highest court clarified that this law is narrowly focused to help the seriously ill, not an open door to unrestricted retail marijuana sales," Schuette said in a statement. "Dispensaries will have to close their doors. Sales or transfers between patients or between caregivers and patients other than their own are not permitted under the Medical Marijuana Act."
The attorney general said he would send a letter to the state's 83 county prosecutors, explaining that the ruling "clearly empowers them to close dispensaries and include instructions on how to file similar nuisance actions to close dispensaries in their own counties."
A message seeking comment was left with Isabella County Prosecutor Risa Scully, who has said the state's medical marijuana statute does not allow for dispensaries.
The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice Robert Young, who was joined by Justices Stephen Markman, Mary Beth Kelly and Brian Zahra.
Justice Michael Cavanagh dissented, and Justice Bridget McCormack, who won election in November, did not take part in the case.
The case was argued in October.

The judicial sentence "end up alone" incorrectly lacks agency, as if a woman simply wakes up one day and discovers the other side of her bed empty. Maybe she likes sleeping in the middle?
