Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Call Us Today For Our Current Specials!
Through the good times and bad times, Buzaid-Mutual Appliances is there to help people in the Greater Danbury, Connecticut area to get the best value for their money on all major appliances, from dishwashers and refrigerators to washers and dryers – including "scratch and dent" products – and much, much more.
For more than 70 years, the Buzaid name has stood for value, reliability and superior customer service.
It started in 1939, when Norman and Joseph Buzaid opened a fuel oil service in Danbury, Connecticut, followed 10 years later with the opening of a modest appliance shop. Buzaid-Mutual Appliances now offers a variety of major appliances including stoves and cooktops, ovens and ranges, washers and dryers, dishwashers and refrigerators from a showroom on South Street in Danbury, as well as a 4,000-square-foot warehouse located at 227 Federal Road in Brookfield. The business specializes in GE refrigerators, GE washers, GE dryers, GE ovens and GE dishwashers, but also carries a large inventory of Maytag, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, LG, Panasonic, Weber, Zephyr and Friedrich appliances.
From the early days of our company, spanning
all the way to today, we have made it our main goal to ensure the
satisfaction of our customers. If you have questions about
fuel oil, or any appliances we offer, our
knowledgeable and friendly staff members are prepared to address
these questions and concerns with you. Our company has grown a lot
since we started out serving Danbury with fuel oil, but our
dedicated to our customers has remained the same!
The staff at Buzaid-Mutual Appliances is there to carefully listen to your needs, and then provide expert advice on the best product(s) for your lifestyle and budget. One of the business's specialties is "scratch and dent" products: Brand-new appliances that are fully guaranteed by the manufacturer, but are deeply discounted because they have cosmetic blemishes. A barely detectable scratch on a GE refrigerator, for example, might save you up to 50 percent off the sticker price!
You owe it to yourself to view what's available at Buzaid's 4,000-square-foot Brookfield warehouse!
Over the years, it's become common for Buzaid-Mutual Appliances to hear wildly positive feedback from their many satisfied customers, such as this recent comment: "I had been shopping around all day for a refrigerator. I had just about given up on finding what I wanted ... until I walked in here. Not only did I find exactly what I wanted, but it was a $2,000 refrigerator that I bought for $1,200. Incredible!"
And if you're concerned about hassle-free appliance repair or delivery and installation services by qualified professionals, no need to worry, because their friendly, knowledgeable staff will take care of you like you're family.
Your home is probably your biggest investment. Buzaid-Mutual Appliances will take care of your appliance and heating fuel needs with personal service that the big-box guys can't touch. Give them a call or drop by sometime to see how we can save you money and time!
All major brands of appliances: refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers, from manufacturers including Maytag, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, KitchenAid and Friedrich, as well as an enormous inventory of scratch-and-dent appliances. Appliance repair services and appliance delivery and installation services are available. Buzaid is also a supplier of fuel oil and services, carrying the A&P Oil and Buzaid Fuel brands.

I've tried, going really gentle, one hole at a time, and she still gets snippy. In that moment where the strap goes up, she yanks her head up, ears back. Like I said, when I re-tighten in the arena, she's completely fine, so obviously it isn't a soreness issue. I've also tried standing near her girth and kind of playing with all the straps. Like, not in an annoying way, but just touching the saddle, patting her near her girth area, rubbing her, etc. Once I had a lot of time to tack up, so I took about 15 minutes, trying to get her to stop being girthy. Each time she would fuss, I would stop touching the girth and walk up to her face, until her ears perked forward again.
(*Note: My horse always has her ears forward. And like most horses, I can tell a lot of her mood. If her ears are back, she's either, listening, like undersaddle, or hearing something behind her. If they're flat back, she's mad).
Also, I should mention, that she doesn't take the bit too easily either. She won't fuss, but she just closes her teeth and won't open. It takes lots of coaxing to get the bit in. Now, I'm thinking, that probably the two are connected, because maybe she's telling me, I don't want to be ridden. But in the arena, she doesn't fuss at all. She's perfectly fine.
So what should I do? Thanks in advance!


text: I recently received notification of a "critical BIOS update" for my Presario v6107 laptop. See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=au&dlc=en&docname=c01296338 for more details. Since it's already had the motherboard replaced (with symptoms matching those listed), I thought it prudent to upgrade. Unfortunately, after updating the BIOS, the laptop no longer likes losing mains power: It looks like the clock interrupts stop so nothing happens unless you generate keyboard/mouse/network activity. This situation continues until it's rebooted. This looks very much like the 'C1E mode disables LAPIC timer on idle' bug that was stomped on last April - but it seems that HP have managed to find a way around the bugfix. The laptop is running 6.3-PRERELEASE/amd64. Any suggestions on how to start investigating? -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Military radars, military communications networks, and commercial communications networks all require increasing amounts of limited radio frequency spectrum. Balancing national security requirements of radars and military networks with the growing bandwidth demands of commercial wireless data networks calls for innovative approaches to managing spectrum access.
DARPA's Shared Spectrum Access for Radar and Communications (SSPARC) program aims to improve radar and communications capabilities for military and commercial users by creating technical solutions to enable spectrum sharing.
The challenge of spectrum access is especially acute in the frequencies between 2-4 GHz, which are highly desirable for military systems and commercial networks. SSPARC will focus on technologies to share spectrum at these frequencies. Technologies developed in the program could be applicable at other frequencies as well.
The program seeks to support two types of spectrum sharing: Military radars sharing spectrum with military communications networks, and military radars sharing spectrum with commercial communications networks.
"We see a technical approach based on cooperation between radars and communications networks as a 'win-win' for the military and commercial communities," said John Chapin, DARPA program manager. "A key goal is to enable increased spectrum access for the systems while ensuring military security needs are protected."
SSPARC program research includes spectrum sharing technologies appropriate for rapid adoption as well as longer-term, more fundamental changes to radar and communications system design. The rapid adoption portion of the program seeks to develop software and cost-effective upgrades to existing systems enabling deployment within the next five to eight years.
"The longer-term vision of the program is to create clean-sheet designs for radar and communications systems that push the state of the art in both areas, while incorporating spectrum sharing as a basic requirement," Chapin said.
The SSPARC program will coordinate with appropriate spectrum management offices in the Department of Defense and other Federal agencies. Interaction with commercial communications standards bodies is also planned.
"We recognize the critical role of regulations and standards for the success of new spectrum sharing technologies, so we intend to stay engaged in those areas throughout the research process," Chapin said.
DARPA seeks proposers with expertise in the following areas: Radar system design and operation; military communications system design and operation; commercial communications systems design, operation and standards; electronic warfare (EW) threats to and countermeasures for radar and communications systems; and U.S. and international spectrum regulations and regulatory processes. The SSPARC program seeks to foster the collaboration among these disparate areas needed to develop innovative spectrum sharing solutions.

FIFA rules male players can wear turbans
FIFA has ruled male head covers are acceptable to wear during matches, a decision that goes against the ban on turbans imposed by the sport's provincial governing body in Quebec.
Soccer's world governing body says male players can wear head covers as long as they are the same color as the team's shirt, have a "professional appearance," are not attached to the shirt and don't "pose any danger."
The Canadian Soccer Association had asked FIFA to rule on the matter after Quebec's governing body refused to overturn its provincewide ban on turbans.
Brigitte Frot, Quebec's director general of the provincial association, had said the provincial federation would allow turbans if FIFA indicated they were safe.
The ban particularly affected Sikh men and boys who wear turbans, patkas and keskis for religious reasons.
The Quebec Soccer Federation said it welcomed the news "with enthusiasm and relief." The Quebec body has not said exactly what it will do next.
It planned to hold a news conference Saturday near Montreal and said it will reveal its board of directors' decision with respect to the "lifting of the ban."
At least 20 out-of-province teams are skipping a weekend tournament in Montreal and some players in Quebec leagues have also decided to wear turbans in protest of the ban.
The International Football Association Board, soccer's rules-making panel, approved headscarves for female players in July after FIFA's medical committee decided two scarf designs do not threaten the safety of female players.
The approved designs use quick-release velcro fasteners and magnets. That reversed a ban on the Islamic hijab that's been enforced in FIFA competitions since 2007.

A new study demonstrates that women are featured less and hypersexualized more than men in film. So although Jennifer Lawrence may have captured everyone's imagination playing heroine Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games," that feat remains the exception rather than the rule.

When Kathryn Bigelow won an Oscar for 2008's "The Hurt Locker," it was widely viewed as a breakthrough moment for women who worked behind the camera. But several years later, Bigelow is still an exception to the long-held belief in Hollywood that a man must steer a film in order for it to have a chance at financial success.

"Is $2.50 a year too much to match their commitment to the democratic process?"
Amendment XXIV: "Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax. "
According to the US Constitution, yes it is too much.
Don't get me wrong, I think there should be some kind of mechanism to ensure proper and accurate voting (read: get rid of electronic voting), but there is a well-defined line when asking someone to pay to exercise that right.
I don't know what the answer is, but this is not it.
How is requiring a registered voter to have identification a "poll tax" and why would anyone be opposed to a measure that would ensure no individual (or group) could vote illegally or repeatedly? Do you seriously think this amendment means that ANYONE who walks up to a polling place should be allowed to vote, without adequate measures being taken to ensure that they are registered? And how does getting rid of electronic voting ensure proper and accurate voting?

[Community Showcase] Top 10 Holes in the Zelda Timeline
With all of the rumors of a new chronological order of the Zelda games, I thought that I'd compile a list of the holes that need to be filled in this mess of a timeline.
[Editor's Note: This is a great in-depth look at the Legend of Zelda chronology, especially with the recent surfacing of a rumored official timeline!]
Ho, boy. This is gonna be a long one. Here we go.
It's no secret that the Zelda Timeline is one of the most confusing enigmas in video game history. Miyamoto's policy of "gameplay first, story second" has made one of the best franchises ever. But, it has left a bit of an mystery as far as continuity is concerned. The debate over the timeline has been existent for years, with fanboys probably giving more thought into it then Nintendo ever has. With every new game, a new set of questions arises. "Where does this game go?" "What happened to Link after that?" "Why did Ganondorf die, but now he's alive again?" So on and so forth.
Let's face it: although many have tried, none of us are going to find the answers to these questions on our own. Nintendo, on there part, has been making their recent Zelda games fit nicely into the timeline that has been confirmed. But, their are still an abundance of questions that need answering. The trick is to ask the right ones.
That's where I come in. I have been studying the Zelda timeline for an entire hour, and have come up with ten questions that I think, if answered, will help us figure this thing out once and for all!
SPOILER ALERT: I will be talking about all of the Zelda games except for the CDi games (because they are non-canon and, more importantly, abominations to mankind) and Skyward Sword (because I haven't beaten it (-.-;) sorry, and please don't put any spoilers in the comments.
But, first, let me refresh all of you on what parts of the timeline we already know about:
- Ocarina of Time is before any game in the series except for Skyward Sword. The Minish Cap is a possible exception to this.
- At the end of Ocarina of Time, after Ganondorf is Zelda sends Link back in time. This creates two timelines: Child Timeline and Adult Timeline
- In the Child Timeline, Link warns Zelda about Ganondorf's plot. Link then goes to find his fairy, Navi, and gets ambushed by Skull Kid and is transported to Termina, a city in an alternate dimension (Majora's Mask). Link saves Termina from certain doom. He leaves Termina.
- In the Child Timeline, Ganondorf is sentenced to die, but survives the execution because he was "blessed with the chosen power of the gods." He is then banished to the Twilight Realm, where he gives Zant power. Zant then attempts to overtake Hyrule (Twilight Princess). At the end of Twilight Princess, Ganondorf dies and the only link to the Twilight Realm is destroyed by Midna.
- In the Adult Timeline, the Triforce piece that Link owned was split into 8 pieces. Hundreds of years pass. In those years, Ganon breaks out of the Sacred Realm and spread terror among Hyrule. The Goddesses flood Hyrule to contain him. Hundreds of years later, Ganondorf returns and starts searching for Zelda, kidnapping Link's sister in the process (Wind Waker). At the end of Wind Waker, Ganondorf dies and The King of Red Lions destroys Hyrule. Link and Zelda leave Hyrule to search for new lands (Phantom Hourglass) and eventually find one. The land already has some history attached to it, but this is dealt with by descendants of Link and Zelda 100 years later (Spirit Tracks)
- In the original Legend of Zelda, Ganon steals the Triforce of Power, Zelda splits the Triforce of Wisdom into eight pieces and sends Impa to find someone courageous enough to save Hyrule. She finds Link (The Legend of Zelda). Link defeats Ganon, takes the Triforce of Power from his ashes and returns it to Zelda. Months later, the symbol of the Triforce appears on Link's hand. Impa leads him to the original Zelda, who is sleeping. Impa gives link manuscripts that only the future King of Hyrule can read. Link, being able to read them, learns that he needs to obtain the Triforce of Courage to complete the Triforce and wake the original Zelda (Zelda II: The Adventure of Link). Ganon's minions are trying to kill link, as putting Link's blood onto Ganon's ashes will revive him. Link gets the Triforce and wakes Zelda. They kiss. Awww.
- Original Zelda Story: Zelda's brother was to inherit the Triforce after the King of Hyrule's death. The King told Zelda where it was, but Zelda wouldn't tell her brother or his magician friend. The magician cast dark magic on Zelda, placing her in an enchanted sleep. The magician dies in the process. Zelda's brother, ashamed of what he had done, made a decree that every princess in the Royal Family must be named Zelda.
- A Link to the Past is a prequel to the first two games. In it, Ganon has already been inside the Sacred Realm by the Seven Sages. While in the Sacred Realm, he obtains the Triforce and turns the Sacred Realm into the Dark World. Agahnim, Ganon's "alter ego" tries to break him free (A Link to the Past). At the end, Ganondorf is defeated and Link uses the Triforce to restore everything to the way that it was.
- Link's Awakening features the same Link as A Link to the Past. In it, Link goes off in a boat to train. A storm destroys his boat. He has some adventures on Koholint Island, but these are all revealed to be a dream and are not important to the overall storyline.
- Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are direct sequels to each other. Twinrova attempts to revive Ganon, who is dead, by lighting three flames. The plot eventually fails and Twinrova is killed. Piece is restored. The game ends with Link sailing off to somewhere.
- The Four Swords timeline is it's own little beast. The Minish Cap explains the origins of the Four Sword and Vaati. At the end of the game, Vaati is trapped inside the Four Sword In the first Four Swords, Link and Zelda check on Vaati's seal. Vaati breaks free, Link puts him back into the Sword. In Four Swords Adventures, Ganondorf, after betraying his Gerudo Tribe, goes to their Sacred Pyramid and steals a trident that turns him into Ganon. The trident was originally used by an evil cult called the Tribe of Darkness. They were sealed away into the Dark Mirror. Ganon steals this as well. He uses the Dark Mirror to make Shadow Links, which kidnap the seven maidens and tricks Link into pulling the Four Sword and unleashing Vaati. Ganon also unleashes the Dark World. By the end of the game, Link saves the maidens, takes back the Dark Mirror, kills Vaati, and seals Ganon into the Four Sword.
Phew! Man, that took longer than I thought it would. Well, onto the list.
10. What happens after Majora's Mask?
At the end of Majora's Mask, Link saves everyone from giant moon death and they live happily ever after.
The Hero of Time is one of the most important characters in the whole series, but his adventure seems....incomplete. Sure, the end of Majora's Mask ends Termina's conflict nicely, but what about Link? The last time we see him, he had successfully left Termina and was riding on his horse in the woods, like in the beginning of the game. So....what then?
This question might seem unimportant, if it weren't for one thing: The Hero's Shade. In Twilight Princess, this guy teaches you all of the special moves. He is also known as the Golden Wolf. Very little is known about him, except that he "accepted the life of a hero" and that he is related to Twilight Princess' Link (as he uses the phrases "our bloodline" and "my child"). The first line indicates that he is probably a Link from a previous game, most likely Ocarina of Time. But, if this is true, how is he related to Link? He couldn't have had kids, as he was only a child when he left Hyrule. The only was he could have had descendants is if he returned at one point.. Even without the Hero's Shade factor, the fate of the Hero of Time would well worth going into.
9. Is there a point to Spirit Tracks?
Wind Waker has one of the best endings of any Zelda game. Ganondorf explains his actions, the Triforce is assembled, Ganon tries to revive Hyrule so that he can rule it, the King intervenes, wishes for Hyrule's destruction, Ganondorf dies, Hyrule is destroyed, and Link and Tetra go off to new find new lands. The King asks them to make their own land and not have it be Hyrule. It was a great way to end the Adult Timeline.
So...what happened?
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks came out, and in those games, Link and Tetra find their new land. Which they name Hyrule.
The King is probably spinning in his grave. Or his....water....or something.
Anyway, the new Hyrule already has some issues involving Malladus and the Lokomos, but these are dealt with in Spirit Tracks by Zelda (Tetra's granddaughter) and a new Link. They aren't a problem anymore.
So, Nintendo basically made a brand new Hyrule after saying that they wouldn't. What are they going to do with it now? Does this new Hyrule eventually become the setting for older games, such as LOZ (which would actually make sense, because the Hyrule in LOZ has a coast, unlike Ocarina or LTTP's Hyrule)? If so, how did the Triforce return from old Hyrule? Last I saw of it, it had returned to....somewhere...after being used in Wind Waker.
Or, could this be where Four Swords is set? This would explain why regular Zelda things (The Master Sword, The Triforce) are absent. Also, Spirit Tracks has four distinct sections of the world, and each one can correlate to the elements used to make the Four Sword (If you count the snow area as 'water' and the ocean area as 'wind'). But, if this is true, where do the Piccori come in? How about Ganondorf and the Gerudo? Or the Tribe of Darkness that is referenced in Four Swords Adventures? Or the Seven Maidens?
Or (and this would be the easy way out) does Nintendo have a future planned for this world? It can't be the setting of the next Zelda 3DS game, as Amouma has stated that it won't be a direct sequel to Spirit Tracks.
Spirit Tracks, like Majora's Mask, is one of the 'endings' in the Zelda series, as we don't know anything about what happens afterward. But, it would be very interesting to see how Nintendo plans to use...sigh....New Hyrule.
God, I hate saying that.
8. Original Zelda? What is this?
Some of the best Zelda stories aren't told in the games, such as the Great Flood (oh, we'll get to that) and the war between the Twili and Hyrule over the Triforce. But the earliest example of this is in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. In it, Impa tells of the first Zelda, who was put to sleep by a magician. The sign of the Triforce on Link's hand shows that Link is the one that has been chosen to awaken her. Link has to do this by gathering the pieces of the Triforce together and wishing that Zelda would awaken.
Wait, what?
Zelda II is set after LOZ, which both come after Ocarina of Time. In that game, Link has the symbol of the Triforce on his hand. Does this mean that The Hero of Time was also meant to wake the Original Zelda, but failed? And, since LOZ and Zelda II couldn't have taken place during OoT and TP (Ganon is dead at the end of those two games, but alive in TP), does this mean that TP Link is also a failure? Same with Wind Waker Link (although, this could be because the original Zelda died in the Great Flood).
Also, since the Triforce had been assembled in A Link to The Past, could've it been used to awaken Zelda instead of what it was used for? So, does this make LTTP Link a failure as well?
Also, this is "Legend of Zelda," and all Princesses have been named Zelda since. So what's the deal behind the naming of Skyward Sword Zelda? She's not a Princess! Well...not yet, maybe. Once again, I haven't beaten Skyward Sword. If this is explained in that game...well, then, I just wasted some of your time, as well as mine. Sorry.
But, if it isn't explained, then does that mean that the Original Zelda came before Skyward Sword? If so, then when?
Also, Link can read the manuscripts that only the future King of Hyrule can read. Since nothing is confirmed to be after Zelda II, where does this plotline go? Does Link become King?
I think that Nintendo's best way to deal with this question would be to make either the legend into a whole game, or a direct sequel to Zelda III. They could bring in Retro Studios and make it a sidescroller. Or top down. Or first-person. At this point, I'm just rambling on about nothing. WHAT IF IT'S ALL TINGLE'S DREAM??? Next number:
7. What happens to Ganon at the end of A Link to the Past?
At the end of a Link to the Past, Link, after defeating Ganon, gets a wish from the Triforce. He wishes for everything to be back the way that it was before Agahnim interfered.
So where does that leave Ganondorf?
Did Link kill him? Is he still in the Sacred Realm? Is the Triforce still in the Sacred Realm? Could he use Agahnim to try and break out again?
Admittedly, this question isn't as big or important as the others, but it needs to be brought up that Ganon's fate is uncertain after this game. I intend to bring up the uncertainty later in this blog. Starting....NOW!
6. Does the end of the Oracle Games match up with the beginning of Link's Awakening?
This one might seem to be an easy answer, but there is more than meets the eye. In the linked ending of the Oracle games, Link defeats Twinrova, who is trying to revive a dead Ganondorf. After this, peace is restored to Hyrule, and Link sails away to...somewhere.
This brings us into Link's Awakening, where Link starts out sailing. His boat crashes, he lands on an island, yadda yadda yadda. It's easy to see that these games are connected, right? Right?
Well....here's the thing.
In the Link's Awakening manual, it is said that Link had defeated Ganon and saved Hyrule. He went out in search of a quest of enlightenment and training. On his return from this quest, he was shipwrecked, lands on an island, etc.
This heavily implies that the Link from LTTP is the same as the Link from LA. Which would mean that the LTTP Link was also the Oracle Link. This might be possible, as Link could have saved Hyrule (LTTP), stopped Twinrova from reviving Ganon (Oracle games), went on a journey, then was shipwrecked on his return (LA).
While this theory has some issues (why does Zelda not know Link in the Oracle games?), it is the best one I could find. However, it does confirm that Link killed Ganon in LTTP, which is a bit of a problem....
5. How does Ocarina of Time connect to A Link to the Past?
The beginning of LTTP tells of the Imprisoning War, a war waged between Ganondorf and Hyrule. Ganon broke into the Sacred Realm and took the Triforce. Ganondorf then tried to rule over Hyrule, but he was stopped when the Seven Sages sealed him into the Sacred Realm.
This war sounds a lot like the events of Ocarina of Time. Even the developers admitted to having this in mind while making Ocarina. So, A Link to the Past is a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time. It deals with Ganon's imprisonment, return and death. Plain and simple, right?
If only. If only.
See, we already have direct sequels to Ocarina. These are Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Both of them deal with Ganondorf's imprisonment, return and death. So there is no place for LTTP in the timeline, unless it's in a third dimension that was created after the ending of Ocarina of Time. That...would be insane. Three dimensions? Does Miyamoto want us to go insane?
Of course he does. That should be obvious by now.
4. Where is the Triforce in Twilight Princess?
Twilight Princess features one of the best cutscenes in the entire series. This is Ganondorf's execution. After being seen as guilty for crimes against Hyrule, he finally gets what's coming to him.
But something goes wrong.
Ganondorf survives the execution due to having been "blessed with the power of the gods."
Now, this can mean one of two things:
1. Ganondorf had already acquired the Triforce of Power. He had broken into the Sacred Realm, and then got caught by The Hero of Time in the Child storyline. But, it is never stated that Ganondorf's power is the Triforce. The same goes for Zelda and Link's power.
2. Ganondorf is the rightful owner of the Triforce of Power, chosen by the goddesses.
If the first is true, then there is an unexplained gap in between Ocarina and Twilight Princess, where Ganondorf breaks into the Sacred Realm after Link tells Zelda of his plot. How he was eventually captured and executed while he had the Triforce of Power is beyond me.
But, if the second is true...that's just messed up.
All of the Zelda games before have made it clear that Ganondorf stole the Triforce, whether it was LOZ, LTTP or Ocarina. But if the goddesses had already determined that Ganondorf was the rightful owner....why? He's evil! What was the goddesses' purpose for this?
Once again, I have the sneaking suspicion that the answer might lie within Skyward Sword, and if it does, I am sorry for wasting your time. And, please, no spoilers in the comments.
3. The Great Flood.
Yea, I said we'd come back to this.
This one is less of a question that needs to be answered, but a game that needs to be made to fill a hole in the timeline.
In the prologue to Wind Waker, it is revealed that after Ocarina of Time (in the Adult Timeline) Ganon broke free of the Sacred Realm because it weakened. He spread horror onto the land, and the people prayed to the gods. With Link gone (Zelda sent him back to the Child Timeline) the gods decided to seal Hyrule away by flooding it. The gods preserved Hyrule and The Master Sword, and the mountaintops that remained above the water became islands.
There was a rumor going on for a while that the next Zelda game (which turned out to be Skyward Sword) would focus on the flood. The rumored game, called "Valley of the Flood," would not feature a Link, which makes sense. THIS GAME NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
Just think: storywise, it would be a combination of Majora's Mask and Halo: Reach. We would already know the outcome: Hyrule is flooded and lots of people die. And it could be connected to Wind Waker, as The King of Red Lions could be a character, and we can see what happened to the Zoras (I think that they became the bird people? Maybe?) and Gorons (I think that they went extinct except for that one dude? Maybe?), where Jabun and Valoo came from, and how Zelda divided her piece of the Triforce and turned her family into pirates.
Anyway, back to the confusing stuff.
2. How many Ganons are there?
This one is very straightforward, but still deserves to be asked. We all know that there are multiple Links, Zeldas and Hyrules (stupid Spirit Tracks), but what about Ganon. It's never explicitly stated weather each new Ganon is a different Ganon, or weather the same one is present throughout the entire series.
What we do know is that the first one is in Ocarina of Time. That Ganon is also in Twilight Princess, A Link to the Past, and Wind Waker. Every other Ganon hasn't been confirmed to be in any other game. The LOZ Ganon died in that game. In the Oracle games, Ganon is dead. And in Four Swords Adventures, Ganondorf is given a brand new origin which involves the Tribe of Darkness (What is up with the Tribe of Darkness anyway? What's their deal).
Anyway, these Ganons may or may not be connected, but if we knew for sure, then that would really help clear up the timeline. For example, if Ocarina Ganon is LOZ Ganon, then LOZ has to take place before that Ganon dies in TP, WW or (maybe) LTTP. If LTTP Ganon is also Oracle Ganon, then the theory that Oracle is a direct sequel to LTTP and a direct prequel to LA is most likely true. So on and so forth.
1. Is Four Swords Canonical?
Four Swords. Those three stupid games.
A sub-series of the main Zelda series, Minish Cap, Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures are some of the hardest games to fit into the Zelda timeline. No Triforce, no Master Sword, Ganon and Zelda are present, what the Piccori or the Tribe of Darkness have to do with anything else; everything manages to be at a conflict with at least one other Zelda game.
So I have to ask: is it part of the timeline at all?
The original Four Swords was just a bonus game with the GBA. It's plot was essentially meaningless. Did Nintendo ever think of it as part of the main storyline? Or was it just, like the game itself, a bonus?
Minish Cap, as awesome as it was, didn't help either. It created a backstory that had no placement with any other Zelda game. To this day, we don't know if it's older than what used to be the oldest game chronologically, Ocarina of Time. Four Swords has always been the exception.
Even in Four Swords Adventures, when Ganon is introduced into the sub-series, he is given a different origin. The storyline of the game was even rumored to be changed by Miyamoto late in development. The game was first designed to be the Imprisoning War from LTTP, which would have been a HUGE DEAL, because it would've meant that Ocarina was not the Imprisoning War, as previously confirmed, but just something else that happened.
You see what I mean? Everything would be so much clearer if they just came out and said "This stuff isn't part of the main storyline." And it would give the games a whole new light, as people would stop trying to fit them in the timeline, like mismatched puzzle pieces.
In conclusion:
The Zelda timeline is messed up. And was probably the worst subject for me to tackle on my first blog. Oh well. We've made it this far.
I think that the entire confusion of the timeline can be boiled down to two people: Miyamoto, whose game design policies have made this entire thing impossible to solve, and Princess Zelda.
Yea, you heard me right.
Zelda screwed up big time. This is the Zelda from Ocarina of Time, just to clarify. Ocarina is the first Zelda game in the timeline (I'LL BEAT SKYWARD SWORD SOON AND PUT IT'S SIGNIFICANCE INTO A NEW BLOG, I SWEAR!) and, since Zelda is the one that sent Link back in time, she created the Child and Adult Timelines. In the Adult Timeline, a lack of a hero caused the Great Flood (this is why we need a Great Flood game, people!) and Zelda destroyed Hyrule.
And here's the kicker: Zelda sent Link back so that he could have his childhood back. So what does Link do? He gets caught up in the execution of Ganondorf, then does off and nearly gets crushed by a moon! And what happens after that? WE DON'T KNOW!! (see #10) Did Link get back to Hyrule? Did he get his precious childhood? Or did he just spend his childhood as we saw him at the end of Majora's Mask, exploring the forest and caves?
Wait a minute. Exploring the forests and caves as a kid....why does that sound familiar? Has someone else ever done that?
The End.

I stumbled onto this blog & was checking to see if I posted comments & found your reply that I now remember. Anyway, if you're still interested, I posted my blog on this a few months ago. It's Part 3 of my Zelda Mysteries: Reading Between the Lines series of blogs. It's a long blog & I got so much into it that I wrote 2 addenda to it afterwards as I began remembering more things that I wanted to put into the context.
Here is the original blog, that is called "The Annexation of Koholint Island to Hyrule as seen in Zelda II" where I make the case that the large island that is Eastern Hyrule in Zelda II was once Koholint Island in Link's Awakening after it was materialized:
Here is the first addendum to that blog, titled "Analysis of the Timeline & Events After the Materialization of Koholint Island":
And here is the 2nd addendum to that blog, titled "The Reality of Koholint Island & Detailed Zelda Timeline Analysis: The Conclusion":
If you like these blogs, Part 4 of my Zelda Mysteries series is coming soon & is on a different topic but one I haven't seen discussed before.

The confusion!!! Lol! This was great and I agree, there is so much missing in the plot. It makes it so hard to make sense of which happened where.... I starting to think that nothing is suppose to line up (inless clearly stated) in the timeline. Like a bunch of possible ways the story could happen. Anyways this article has me definitely thinking a little harder on this subject! Great job! Can't wait to hear more!
Imagine a game where Twilight Princess Link teams up with WW Link and LTTP Link and have classic bosses and dungeons,that would be awesome on the 3DS
there needs to be a flood game. there needs to be a game that explains the sleeping zelda.there also needs to be a game that is about the imprisoning war because oot isnt the imprisoning war.
I look forward to you revisiting this after beating SS, it might change some of your theories.
See, my problem with #1 is that, since I consider Minish Cap canonical, Ganon in Four Swords Adventures would be the absolute first one ever. It does make sense, even if the origin story doesn't match with Ocarina.
great blog specialy your ending lol.. me personaly i just say every game is just a retelling of the same legend as how legends go even in real life throughout time .. not a spoiler but i think your ganon question will be slightly answered some once you beat skyward sword i wont elaborate cause then it would be a spoiler ;) again great blog tho specialy if its your 1st
#10 is kinda revealed in Twilight Princess the hero that teaches you the sword skills it's probably Ocarina of Time Link that got lost in the woods and turned into a skeleton. and everything else I have to say is Skyward Sword related, so no spoilers for you!
i've noticed that all games OoT and forward makes perfect sense (discarding FSA) and has thus come up with a theory: LoZ, AoL, LttP and LA are not canon.
You know, what it is kinda funny since yesterday I believe the zelda artbook might have revealed that the timeline is split into three, not two. The theory goes when link goes back in time for the gauntlets and comes back, that leaves a timeline without link were the sages then start the imprisoning war because link ends up in a different future. So there is your problem of ALTP not fitting in. It also says that the triforce is actually in TP, still need to read a bit more on it. Four swords is canon, it comes right before OOT and FSA comes after TP. Also the sleeping zelda has to happen after OoX because that would be the last game in before AOL with a completed triforce. That is what I read anyways from the new time line any ways. This I believe has been confirmed by several translators so I believe this to be how nintendo is going with this.
The universe has a way of course-correcting itself. Fate plays a big deal in the timeline, like how Ganon got the Triforce piece in TP. If you finish SS, they sort of explain the whole fate thing I believe
Holy... Shit... Dude, this list it awesome. I commend you for taking the time to actually thinking this up, one of the most intelligent reads I read this week.
The Master Sword is in four swords... And I was under the impression that they all happened in different continuums, because Link has so many different origin stories.

Crime Forum Gets Underway At Wayne State
Category: Breaking News Written by WWJ
DETROIT (WWJ) – Wiping out the high rate of crime in Detroit – that's the focus of "City Under Seige: A forum on Crime in Detroit."
Some of the nation's leading experts in law enforcement and criminology are meeting at Wayne State University today for the conference. Criminologist George Kelling co-authored "Broken Windows," a widely used theory on reducing crime.
"Just as a broken window left untended is a sign that nobody cares and leads to more broken windows, so disorderly behavior and conditions left untended is a sign that nobody cares and leads to fear of more serious crime and urban decay," says Kelling.
But Carl Taylor, professor of sociology at Michigan State University, says Detroit needs much more.
"We're way beyond a broken window. Because we did not use that theory or pay a great deal of attention to it in Detroit, we have what we have now," says Taylor.
The conference takes place Thursday, September 20 and Friday, September 21 and is free and open to the public.
A few of the speakers scheduled for the two-day event include: William J. Bratton, former top cop in Boston, New York and L.A.; Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee; Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy; and U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade.

Dark Morning At Northland Mall Bus Stop
Category: News Briefs Written by WWJ
SOUTHFIELD (WWJ) – It's the second straight morning bus riders at Northland have been greeted by darkness as they are picked up or dropped off at the bus stop.
An electrical malfunction has kept the lights out at the mall's bus stop. Other areas around the mall have working lights, but not under the bus stop in that area. One bus rider, who identified himself only as Barnard, says it seems to happen when the weather turns cold… but its still dangerous.
"You got old ladies out here, you got young people out here, and crime doesn't discriminate. They don't care whether you're old or you're young. I just think it's a hazardous situation that we have to endure," says Barnard.
Another rider says it happens four or five times a year, and you just have to get used to it. A mall security vehicle was at the scene with headlights and overhead lights to provide some illumination for riders. WWJ has been told that the mall is aware of the problem.

Mike Duggan to announce exploratory committee for Detroit Mayor
Category: Breaking News Written by Fox 2 News
(MyFox Detroit) -
Just months after moving from the suburbs to Palmer Woods, FOX 2 has learned Mike Duggan will announce an exploratory committee for Mayor of Detroit within the next thirty days.
Fox 2 News political reporter Tim Skubick says all of this was plotted out with 75 key supporters at Duggan's new home in Detroit last Saturday. The CEO of the Detroit Medical Center began moving into his Palmer Woods in May which was the first step in fulfilling the residency requirement of a mayoral run.
If and when Duggan makes the decision to run, his opponent may or may not be the incumbent Mayor Dave Bing. The former NBA star and Detroit businessman was first elected mayor of Detroit in a special election in May of 2009 and then won the full-term mayoral election on November 3, 2009.
Duggan supporters who FOX 2 spoke with concede Bing has returned integrity to the office, but that's not enough.
And if Duggan gets in, his opponents may also raise questions about his tenure with former Wayne County Executive Ed Mcnamara. No charges were filed but before he passed on Mcnarmara was investigated by the federal government. Many wonder if that is a potential problem for Duggan.

Jury is seated in Kwame Kilpatrick trial
Category: Breaking News Written by Fox 2 News
DETROIT, Mich. (WJBK) -
On Wednesday afternoon a 12-member jury and alternates was seated in the corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. FOX 2 Legal analyst Charlie Langton reports the jury includes 4 black females, 1 black male, 1 hispanic female, 2 white males and 4 white females.
The racial makeup of the alternates includes: 2 black females, 1 black male, 2 white males and 1 white female.
While a jury has been selected, earlier legal experts had said the possibility of a change of venue is not off the table.
Wednesday morning Langton said on day nine of the process of finding a jury, the prosecution used a challenge to dismiss two black women a move that's once again raising questions about the racial makeup of the panel. Three of the four defendants, Kilpatrick, his father Bernard Kilpatrick and Bobby Ferguson are black.
While race cannot be used as a reason to reject a potential juror, the judge says the women revealed some hostility toward prosecutors in earlier interviews and one had been a victim of a crime.
Langton adds, the question of a possible change of venue for the trial may also be addressed by the court as early as Thursday.

Greenhouse expected to lower metro Detroit hospital's food cost

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (MyFox Detroit) -
Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital's new greenhouse will provide food for visitors and patients year round. It's expected to reduce the hospital's food cost by more than $20,000 a year.
The $1 million, 1500 square foot facility is state of the art and uses hydroponics. Plants are grown in water instead of soil to produce healthy foods such as lettuce and greens, tomatoes, eggplant and beans.
An anonymous donor funded the green project.
"We want to be able to showcase how food could be grown in a really healthy environment without the use of any toxic chemicals, and then how you can use that food and prepare that food to avoid chronic diseases," said resident farmer Michelle Lutz.
The greenhouse is also for the community. It will serve as an educational site with workshops and tours for people of all ages.
"I really hope to see every day school buses from all around Southeast Michigan so that we can really help our children... in a fun manner start to think differently how they will take care of themselves through food," said Gerard van Grinsven, president and CEO of Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital.
He says the greenhouse fits perfectly into his vision to create a community center for well being.
The garden will provide therapy for patients and employees and serve as a teaching tool to inspire people to make healthier choices.
"This is being used as a prototype to show what we can do in the future," Lutz said.
It's an idea that could definitely grow. There is talk of a greenhouse one day in downtown Detroit and producing food for the entire Henry Ford system.

Is Jim Leyland Gone After This Season?
Category: News Briefs Written by WWJ
By Jeff Riger
Every baseball mind preaches patience and I think they are on to something.
When you play 162 games, you can't let any one win or loss affect you any differently from others. After the Tigers lost in the 9th inning to Cleveland on Sunday afternoon and then lost again in Chicago on Monday, people in Detroit became convinced that the Tigers would miss out on the post season, and they still might.
So on Tuesday, before the 12-2 win over the A's, I marched into the Skippers office and demanded to know if he anticipates managing this team next season?
If Detroit misses out on the playoffs, after all the expectations and excitement then I believe Leyland has to go. And, I like the guy! Sure he's grouchy and yells a lot but he is fair and that is something that you don't seem to find too often in today's sports world. Leyland, unlike any manager or coach I have ever interviewed also tells you the truth on pretty much everything which I appreciate. I like the guy and sometimes feel myself trying to explain to people why he does the things that he does, especially when it comes to some of the bizarre lineups that he produces day after day.
Tuesday afternoon, Leyland was sitting at his desk as the media filled his office. The skipper ran the gamut, talking about available pitchers, what it will take to make up a 3 game deficit to the White Sox and other general baseball banter all while seeming to be in a decent mood. About 5 minutes into the media session I asked Leyland about his future.
Me: "Jim, with this being the last home stand of the regular season, is it hard not to think about your future? Have you thought about your future at all?"
Leyland: "I always think about my future, yeah, sure, I always think about my future no matter what I'm doing. What's your point? Ask the question you want to ask."
Me: "I'm just curious; do you wonder if this could be your last home stand?"
Leyland: "No I don't! That I don't think about. That's not going to have any effect on me. I think about beating the Oakland Athletics tonight and try to get into the playoff. That situation will all take care of itself at the proper time and now obviously is not the proper time. And, if I had information for you I would give it to you, but I have none. I haven't discussed my situation with anyone nor has my situation been discussed with me and I don't want to discuss my situation with anyone nor do they want to discuss it with me. We are trying to win a division. I will leave it at that."
I believe Leyland wants an extension and would love to manage the Tigers in 2013 despite being 67 years old.
People will always cite his situation in Colorado and how he left because he had lost the passion to manage baseball games anymore. Well, in Denver he didn't have Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Justin Verlander and an owner that is willing to buy whatever a team could want. Leyland is happy here! He often talks about living in Royal Oak and hanging out with his neighbor Gene Lamont on the weekends after games. He gets choked up when talking about Tiger fans and what a championship would mean to this area.
Just because the skip is not ranting and raving like he did in 2006 doesn't mean that the man doesn't have the fire and immediacy to win now!
I like the guy but he has to go if they don't win the division and do something impressive in the post season. The message will have grown stale otherwise. I believe you will see the Tigers make this thing close through the next 15 games.
Through it all Leyland will go down swinging, which seems to be a hell of a lot more than anybody is willing to give him credit for these days.
Yeah I root for the guy, why shouldn't I?

New polls give Obama slight edge
Category: Breaking News Written by WDIV
A slew of polls released over the past 24 hours in crucial battleground states suggest the race for the White House remains tight, but indicate President Obama with a slight edge over Republican nominee Mitt Romney. It's a similar storyline in new national polling.
All of the surveys were conducted either entirely or almost entirely before Monday afternoon's release of secretly recorded remarks that Romney made at a private fund-raiser in May, where he described supporters of President Barack Obama as dependent on government. Fallout from the controversial clips has dominated coverage of the race for the White House over the past two days.
Five non-partisan live operator state polls have been released since Tuesday: Two in Virginia, and one in Wisconsin, Colorado and New Hampshire. Obama is on top of Romney in all of them, but the margins are within the sampling error in three of them.
In Virginia, a Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll released Wednesday indicates the president at 50% and Romney at 46%. Obama's advantage is within the survey's sampling error. The president holds a 52%-44% lead over Romney in Virginia in a Washington Post poll out Tuesday. Other partisan polling in the commonwealth suggests a closer contest.
Then-Senator Obama won Virginia by two percentage points in the 2008 election, becoming the first Democrat to carry the commonwealth in a presidential contest since 1964. This cycle Obama has made eight swings through the state (not including quick visits to suburban Washington, DC in northern Virginia) since the unofficial start of the general election in early April, with Romney making eight tours through Virginia. Both campaigns, as well as the super PACs and other independent groups backing the candidates, have flooded Virginia airwaves with campaign commercials.
Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times also released a survey Wednesday in Wisconsin, which Obama won by double digits four years ago. According to the poll, Obama has a 51%-45% advantage over Romney, up from a two-point margin in late August. Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, is a seven-term congressman from Wisconsin.
The third Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll out Wednesday indicates the battle for Colorado's nine electoral votes is all knotted up, with 48% of likely voters backing the president and 47% supporting Romney. Romney held a five point advantage in their last poll in the state, which was conducted last month before both parties' political conventions.
The new survey is in-line with an American Research Group poll released last week in Colorado that indicated Obama with a narrow two point margin over Romney. The president's edge in both surveys is within the sampling error. President George W. Bush carried Colorado in the 2000 and 2004 elections, with Obama turning the state blue four years ago.
The new Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times surveys in all three states indicate that the president has cut into Romney's one-time lead on handling the economy. Pluralities in all three states also say they see Obama's policies as favoring the middle class, while a majority see Romney's proposals as benefiting the wealthy.
According to the surveys, the gender gap is alive and well, with a majority of men in all three states favoring Romney and a majority of women supporting Obama. Romney has the advantage among independent voters in Virginia and Wisconsin, but they are divided between the two candidates in Colorado.
New polls in New Hampshire indicate that the swing state remains a battleground. An American Research Group survey in the Granite State has Obama at 48% among the wider pool of registered voters, with Romney at 46%. According to a WMUR-TV/Granite State poll of likely voters released last week, the president held a five point advantage. The margins in polls were within the surveys sampling errors. Obama won New Hampshire by nine points four years ago, but voters in the state are very familiar with Romney. He was the governor of neighboring Massachusetts and he owns a vacation home in the state.
Nationally, the president also holds a small advantage. A CNN Poll of Polls, which averages the three non-partisan, live operator, surveys of likely voters conducted over the past week has the president at 48% and Romney at 45%.

Concerns about prison costs this year have not deterred the Legislature's appetite to tweak Michigan sentencing rules. Last week, the House, following the Senate, approved a version of a "four strikes" bill designed to put violent offenders behind bars for a minimum sentence of 25 years.
Senate Bill 1109 passed the House last week on a vote of 98-10, after a different version cleared the Senate 32-5 earlier in the year.
The bill goes back to the Senate for consideration of the changes.
The measures incorporates a "4 strikes and you're out" concept touted by Attorney General Bill Schuette last winter which called for a mandatory 25-year sentence for a violent crime perpetrated by a criminal who has committed three previous felonies. In the first reaction to Schuette's proposal, the state Corrections Department estimated a potential increase in spending at up to $1 billion.
As the legislation was drafted and amended, the price tag has fallen. A Senate Fiscal Agency analysis in May estimated the law will require an extra 7,374 beds by 25 years post-enactment, at an annual cost of $250.7 million. A House version, which more narrowly targets offenders, is pegged at a 25-year cost of just under $15 million, assuming 672 additional prison beds are needed by then.
Cass County Prosecutor Victor Fitz said the price is worth the cost of a safer public.
"This is smart justice that provides for surgical strikes against the worst of the worst criminals," he said. "These are offenders with an established track record of career felony violence. It allows us to ensure that hard-core criminals are put away for a long period of time."
Fitz, who testified in favor of the bill before the House Judiciary Committee, said the number of offenders the law will put behind bars is relatively small, maybe 200-250 cases per year statewide.
"The real question is what's the greater value to society — protecting the public or worrying about the cost?" he asked.
The proposal for so-called VO-4 legislation was first made by Attorney General Bill Schuette in January, as the centerpiece of his office's public-safety legislation.
Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan said the department is officially neutral on the bill.
Advocacy groups objected nonetheless, calling the bill expensive and unnecessary.
"We oppose mandatory minimums in general," said Barbara Levine, executive director of the Citizens Alliance on Prisons & Public Spending. "It takes away discretion from judges to tailor sentences as appropriate to individuals, (and it) confers the sentencing power to prosecutors."
Levine said Michigan's average prison stays and corresponding spending is higher than any of the 35 states examined in a recent Pew Center report on sentencing and prison spending nationwide.
Prosecutors already have a habitual-offender option to use in pressing cases against the most violent criminals, Levine said, and once so charged, judges have the discretion to increase maximum sentences, effectively achieving the same result as mandatory minimums.
What CAPPS most objects to, she added, is that the legislation puts too much power in the hands of prosecutors, when judges are the ones who are charged with weighing the interests of prosecution, defense and the general public.
"If you're selling this as a way to more severely punish people who are habitual violent offenses, then the law should kick in when the prior offenses are violent," Levine said.
Fitz said too often, it doesn't, citing a case in Muskegon of a multiple violent offender who'd served "modest sentences," and after release carjacked a woman at knifepoint and raped her repeatedly in front of her four-year-old child.
"If VO-4 had been in effect, this never would have happened," he said. "If there are certain people who will not comply with the laws of a civilized society, we have to get them out of that society."
The attorney general agrees, said his spokeswoman, Joy Yearout, who pointed out that increased public safety pays off in other ways, as well.
"With repeat violent offenders continually terrorizing our communities, there's a cost to that," she said. "The average murder costs the community and victims $8 million. There are tangible and intangible costs of unchecked crime."

GM makes counter offer to CAW
Category: Breaking News Written by Financial Post
General Motors Co has made a counter offer to its Canadian workers and negotiations for a new contract were continuing almost non-stop on Wednesday to try to bridge differences, a Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union official said.
Separate CAW talks with Fiat SpA's Chrysler Group LLC were less advanced and the two sides remained far apart, said Jerry Dias, who is assistant to CAW National President Ken Lewenza.
"We are plowing ahead," with GM, Dias said. "But we still have a lot of outstanding issues to get through before we've got to a deal."
Dias said GM had made its counter proposal in response to a tentative framework agreement the CAW reached with Ford Motor Co on Monday.
"We worked late last night, we're at it early this morning and we're heading to a meeting in five minutes," he said in an interview from a hotel in downtown Toronto where the union and the three Detroit automakers have been holding talks on new labour contracts for more than a month.
The CAW wants its agreement with Ford to be the model on which contracts with the other two companies will be based. But Chrysler has expressed concern about the Ford pattern because Ford has the smallest footprint in Canada of the three automakers, and arguably the least to lose.
"We've got a lot of work to do with Chrysler. We are nowhere close to having a deal," Dias said.
The union was still waiting for a formal response from Chrysler to the Ford deal, said Dino Chiodo, chairman of the CAW's Chrysler master bargaining committee. He could not say when a counter offer might come.
Of the three automakers, Chrysler has the biggest production footprint in Canada, with more than a quarter of its North American output produced here. Ford has only 9 percent of its output in Canada.
Lewenza said on Tuesday that the union, which represents some 20,000 workers at the Detroit Three, had had a "very constructive" discussion with the leaders of the GM negotiating team and that the two sides had discussed the Ford framework agreement in detail.
Pattern bargaining, under which an agreement with one automaker becomes the template for deals with the others, is a long-standing strategy in auto talks, meant to ensure that no company has a labor cost advantage over the others, the CAW has said.
The CAW has said it would keep negotiating with GM and Chrysler as long as progress seemed to be in sight. If talks become deadlocked, however, the union was still threatening to call its first Canadian auto strike since 1996.
The tentative four-year deal reached with Ford includes lower starting wages for new hires, and a longer earn-in to reach the top level of the pay-scale.
New hires will also move to a hybrid pension plan that mixes defined benefit and defined contribution portions. Wages for existing members will remain frozen for three years but the agreement does include lump sum bonuses in each year.

Every so often — and "so often" is now frequently — an athlete will proclaim he "loves my haters."
This notion isn't exclusive to sports. Many people in the public sphere spout this worthless bromide.
In essence, it posits that all critics are inherently jealous of those they critique, and that embracing the hatred makes the criticized stronger, not unlike a feared Aztec chieftain consuming the hearts of the vanquished.
An ability to brush off criticism is a crucial part of the psychological makeup of successful athletes (and successful humans, generally). But a mature individual would at least examine the criticism for nuggets of insight — however nitpicky — and work to eliminate the shortcomings. Simply dismissing critics as jealous is a child's response.
Take Kenny Britt. Please.
After a woeful performance in the Titans' Week Two loss at Houston — Britt was benched for mental errors, dropped passes and two crucial holding calls — the once highly regarded, now almost always injured receiver took to Twitter, proclaiming that he was being shut out of Tennessee's offensive game plan, but that he'd make the most of it.
He embraced his haters.
It would be better if he embraced the football.
To Britt's credit, he never backed down from the tweet. He spoke his mind about the play-calling, realizing he's probably not returning to Nashville next season.
What he didn't do, however, is say that he was going to work to improve his game so that he might, perhaps, might be a larger part of the Titans' plans this season.
Certainly, that would benefit Tennessee in the short term. But even if he isn't part of the Titans' long-term plans, it would benefit Britt as well. At the very least, it would demonstrate to 29 other teams that they should pay him handsomely for his services when he hits the market next summer.
Britt was given every chance to prove that he had, in fact, taken steps toward improvement in Sunday's home opener against the Chargers. Jake Locker fired his first pass to Britt ... who dropped it. Two plays later, Britt was penalized for a false start, stretching a third-and-10 into third-and-15. On the thrilling game-winning drive, Britt watched helplessly as literally every other receiver on the Titans roster caught a pass in the 94-yard march up the field.
And he watched as rookie Justin Hunter made his first career NFL catch, a 34-yard grab from Locker for the game-winning touchdown — a deft piece of receiving that showed why the Titans traded up to grab the former Tennessee Vol star, now penciled in as Britt's replacement.
So what from Britt in the post-game? More finger-pointing at the coaches? More social-media sulking? That's what he'd set us up for, after all. What we'd come to expect. The jilted, selfish athlete, refusing to shoulder the blame, refusing to share credit, refusing to acknowledge that his personal failings aside, the greater good of the team was served.
That's what Week Two Kenny Britt would have done, after all.
"It was definitely a frustrating game for me, I'm kind of mad about how it started and how it ended," Britt said in the post-game.
OK, sure — but let's hear the vitriol. It was the system that made you drop passes, right? It was the play-calling that caused the false start, wasn't it?
"The drop and the penalty in the beginning — that first series was definitely all on me," he said. "I take full blame for that because we could have had a great start."
Those are the words of a man who — suddenly, unexpectedly — is taking ownership of his failings. His enthusiastic celebration of Hunter's touchdown was punctuated with a fraternal tug on the rookie's face mask and a hug that oozed genuine joy in the post-game schmozzle, the kind of joy teammates should have for one another.
It was volte-face from Week Two — and when he turned around, Britt saw it wasn't the haters to blame, but himself. If only he could make the rapid improvement on the field that he made off of it.
