Fuel for life & fuel for life denim edition.
Like the topic says. Out of all the scents you've tried in your time as a fragrance enthusiast, which two do you think come closest to actually being the same scent, either in terms of the note pyramid or the scent itself?
My picks, from my admittedly limited experience:
Mont Blanc Legend and Curve For Men. I'm giving MBL a full wearing today for the first time and I'm continually struck by the astounding similarity. The notes diverge quite a bit but still, this basically feels like the same fragrance to me.
Molinard's Teck and Juicy Couture's Dirty English. Sampled these side by side the other day and I honestly would not be able to tell them apart in a blind test. Though the two share more notes than MBL and Curve do, they're still not identical. Regardless, to my nose the same thing is going on here: these feel like carbon copies of each other.
Then there are the knock-offs everyone knows about - MJ Legend, Unforgivable et al - but though they are similar to their predecessors I personally would have no difficulty telling them apart (though admittedly Legend is quite a bit closer to New Haarlem than Unforgivable is to MI). Certainly I don't find them anywhere near as similar as MBL/Curve and Teck/DE.
But enough jibber-jabber from me. What are yours?

From some of the old threads here (doesn't necessarily mean I agree with them):
- Green Irish Tweed by Creed and Coolwater by Davidoff
- Silver Mountain Water by Creed and Silver by Al Rehab
From what I've tried:
- Givenchy Play Intense and Givenchy Play (sampled only)
For me: Lotus Thé Vert & Boum Homme
Tuscan Leather & Charles Street?
Carolina Harrera Chic ~ Boss Soul
Dsquared He Wood ~ Burberry Touch (Not Exact copy but somewhat similar..to my nose atleast)
Gucci pour homme 1 & CDG Man2......almost.
Egoiste Cologne Concentree and Opium Pour Homme EDP
I get striking similarities with Loewe Solo Loewe and Prada Amber Pour Homme.
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
Tuscany per Uomo/Azzaro pour Homme

Cartier Roadster Sport and Escada Sentiment. If you smelled both of them, you couldn't tell the difference.
Mugler Cologne = Creed Original Vetiver
Mont Blanc Individuel = Creed Original Santal
Bond No. 9 Hamptons and Creed Silver Mt. Water
Barbasol and Rive Gauche

My sales thread
Neroli Portofino and Mugler Cologne.
GIT and Cool Water.
MI and Unforgiveable.
Invasion Barbare - HdP 1725
This would be my vote. Still, I do smell a slight difference. I must say though, this is the only case of a cheaper clone where I don't think the Creed fragrance smells noticeably more expensive.
I have done side by side comparisons of GIT and CW, MI and Unforgivable, and Al-Rehab Silver and SMW. Individuel gets the closest to Creed in my opinion.

Mont Blanc Legend, to me, smells identical to Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce.. So much that I had to exchange Legend because A&F lasts longer on my skin and dries down better.

Chanel Allure Homme & Polo Big Pony #4. There is a central accord that's very similar for both, though CAH has more complexity or "decoration" surrounding the center.
For me, Gucci pour Homme II has a similar center, but it is much more complex than the above, so much so that the "decoration" predominates much of the time.
I would like to know if that's really an "accord" I'm smelling as the dominant thing, or is it one specific note.
Dirty English and Malaise of the 1970s (aka Sex Pistols)

NORFOLK--Nearly 4,500 sailors in the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group will leave Norfolk Thursday afternoon and their families say they leave too soon.
The Ike returned to Naval Station Norfolk right before Christmas and just two months later, the ship is headed back to sea.
Families don't understand why their loved ones had the fast turnaround when USS Harry S. Truman sits at the pier, her deployment cancelled by the sequester battle in Washington.
'Every time they can't agree on a budget, suddenly it's let's just take the money from the Department of Defense. That just makes me angry,' said Aisha.
Strike Group 8's commander explained the Ike was the most ready carrier.
'It's not a question of fairness,' said RADM Michael Manazir, 'it's a question of take the American taxpayer dollars and distributing them the most cost-efficient way.'
The Navy says the strike group will work with allied and partner maritime forces, focusing heavily on maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the 5th and 6th Fleet areas.
Commanded by Rear Adm. Michael Manazir, IKECSG is comprised of Carrier Strike Group 8, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower , embarked Carrier Air Wing 7, embarked Destroyer Squadron 28, German Frigate FGS Hamburg and USS Hue City.
Aircraft squadrons of CVW-7 include strike fighter squadrons VFA-143 'Pukin Dogs,' VFA-131 'Wildcats,' VFA-83 'Rampagers' and VFA-103 'Jolly Rogers,' tactical electronics warfare squadron VAQ-140 'Patriots,' carrier airborne early warning squadron VAW-121 'Bluetails,' Fleet Logistics Support Squadron VRC-40 'Rawhides' and helicopter anti-submarine squadron HS-5 'Nightdippers.'

(Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Flores, Guatemala City)
This value tour of Guatemala features the Colonial gem, Antigua. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, and is the focus of much curiosity, in its mysterious allure. Discover lakes and volcanoes in Atitlan while learning about ancient rituals and mysticism. Take a domestic flight to Flores and enjoy a tour of the Tikal ruins, set in the heart of the Guatemalan Jungle! Listen to the Howler Monkeys roar across the distance as you climb to the top of these ancient ruins. Tikal was an important Mayan settlement for over 1500 years, starting about 700 BC. During the Classic Period 300 - 900 AD, the city prospered through trade and military conquest when the population peaked at 100,000. Return to Guatemala City by domestic flight.
Upon your arrival you will be met by a local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.
You will be picked up at your hotel and transferred to the airport in Guatemala city for your international or domestic flight.
You will be met at your hotel by your private driver & guide. First you transfer to the village of Jocotenango - just on the outskirts of Antigua where you can visit the local workshops of the traditional woodcarvers of the area to see them work. You can also see the interesting pink & white façade of the Jocotenango church before you transfer across to the wonderful Azotea Coffee farm and museums. Here you can have a private guided tour of the Coffee Farm & the museums covering Mayan traditional music and costume. Learn about the importance of coffee in Guatemala's history and its impact today as well as hearing about the Maya way of life. Lunch is included for you and your guide. When you are ready you will continue on driving to some of the villages surrounding Antigua to see local life, textiles and architecture. Typically we visit San Juan del Obispo, pass Ciudad Vieja and then to San Antonio Aguas Calientes but guests can feel free to discuss with their guide and plan as they go.
Meet at your hotel by your private guide & driver for you 1hr transfer to the town of Comalapa. On arrival to the town you can see the famous painted mural that the school children of the town painted depicting major events in Guatemala's history up to the signing of the peace accords in 1996. From here, you will visit some local painters who continue the tradition of naïve paintings that the town is so famous for, and visit a local bakery to see how they make the small, rock hard biscuits known as "Roscas" that sell by the thousands each day in Guatemala. Finally, you can visit the wonderful authentic market of Comalapa to see the local people go about their daily life buying produce and goods still dressed in the traditional textiles of the area. You can also visit the small museum dedicated to the composer who wrote Guatemala's national anthem, who came from Comalapa. Lunch included for you & your guide.
You will be picked up from the hotel & transfer to San Juan La Laguna Village where you visit a local textile cooperative to see the back strap loom in use and to see how they still dye with natural dyes. You will also visit the home and workshop of local naïf painters before boarding the boat onto Santiago Village for lunch. After lunch walk with your guide to find the house where the Maya God Maximon is living. Each year a different "brotherhood" has the privilege of taking care of their God so his location changes. Once with Maximon you may see local shaman performing rituals for local people and if you wish you can ask your guide to help you hire the services of a shaman for you to have a personal ceremony performed. After visiting Maximon guests can visit the local church and learn about the history of this very traditional town and also see the market and learn about the distinctive textiles and primitive art that is famous from this area. When guests are ready they will be transferred back to their hotel.
Transfer to the highland town of Chichicastenango (1 hr) with your driver. Observe local Maya people in their traditional dress going about their daily lives. Upon arrival at Chichicastenango, your guide will take you to the famous market where you can purchase local ceramics and crafts. This tour departs on Thursdays and Sundays only. Return to Guatemala City Airport (3hrs drive) after the end of the tour.
Enjoy a short flight from Guatemala City to Flores.
Airport transfer with private vehicle, and driver.
Pick up from your hotel and transfer with your driver and guide to Yaxha National Park.The tour begins with with a short boat ride on Lake Yaxha to the small island site at Topoxte. Next, explore the Mayan ceremonial site of Yaxha. Set atop a hill overlooking two scenic lakes, this is a picturesque site. Enjoy the sites and sounds of the howler and spider monkeys as well as many colorful tropical birds and other mammals in this wildlife area. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the beautiful shores of Lake Yaxha. Afterwards, you will head back to your hotel.
Pick up from your lodge and begin your privately guided tour of Tikal National Park. Tikal was one of the major cultural and population centers of the Maya civilization. Though monumental architecture at the site dates to the 4th century BC, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period, ca. 200 AD to 900 AD. Some of these pyramids are over 60 meters high (200 feet). Enjoy some free time at the site and return to your hotel after lunch at a local restaurant.
Take a domestic flight from Flores to Guatemala City. Approximate duration is 30 minutes.
Like many of the hotels in Antigua, the Spanish influence is still obvious in the Villa Colonial. An old, quaint ambiance surrounds this 50 room hotel, where traditional decor and modern necessities ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay. Enjoy an array of fresh fruits and juices at breakfast, along with other staples for a satisfying start to the day. Be sure to try the nearby restaurants to have a taste of the region's specialties firsthand. Lounge in the courtyard, mingle with other guests, or simply take in these beautiful surroundings. Villa Colonial is located 5 minutes away from Antigua's beautiful main plaza, surrounded by coffee plantations, three majestic volcanoes and colonial ruins and churches.
Perched above spectacular Lake Atitlan with a view of three volcanoes and located in the Guatemalan Highlands, Casa Palopó offers two distinct brands of romantic relaxation for the sophisticated traveler. Choose from the charming and colorful accommodations in the main building, which features seven spacious rooms decorated with contemporary and indigenous artwork. 150 steps above the main hotel is a contemporary style Villa decorated with African textiles and artifacts. With two elegant one room suites, a large living room with fireplace, gourmet kitchen, outside terrace with infinity pool and Jacuzzi, gazebo with fireplace, and butler service, the Villa is perfect for two couples looking to indulge in a remote getaway or celebrate a special milestone. Both of the lovely buildings offer unbroken views of the scenic volcanoes and lake as well as first-rate amenities such as Italian luxury bed linens and L'Occitane products.
Set in the rainforest high above the shores of Lago Petén Itzá is La Lancha, a quaint, 10-room lodge decorated with artwork and furniture from Bali, as well as fabrics and carvings from Guatemala personally selected by the Coppola family. Beyond the clear water of the lake is Tikal, the epicenter of Mayan spirituality. Buried deep within the rainforest, the ruins include more than 3,000 structures where moss clings to the steps of ancient temples and plazas. With its beautiful lakeshore setting, relaxed ambiance and close proximity to the lost world of Maya, La Lancha is an ideal destination to both enjoy a languid pace and explore the many adventures of the Petén region.
Not far from the most exciting sights and attractions of Guatemala City, the Westin Camino Real stands tall and grand. The hotel consists of 271 rooms, each cozy and equipped with all the necessities of home. European contemporary themes are utilized in the decor. Enjoy delicious cuisine offered at the restaurants, and cocktails that hit the spot on a warm evening in the city. Served in buffet style or a la carte, chefs work with influences from across the world. Take advantage of the range of facilities available at the hotel, which include a tennis court and spa, as well as a swimming pool and lounging space for interacting with other guests.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

This trip was as good as the last trip we did with Kensington, could'nt have been any better. Our guides were excellent, especially Gerald.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

Until 1967, the governor and the Lieutenant Governor of Colorado were elected on separate tickets for two-year terms. Term length for both offices was increased to four years in 1967, and in 1986 the constitution was amended to elect both on the same ticket. The two-term limit was added to the constitution in 1991.
Current officeholder
- See also: Current governors by party affiliation
The 42nd and current governor is John Hickenlooper, a Democrat elected in 2010. He took office on January 11, 2011, and his first term will end on January 13, 2015.
Before becoming governor, Hickenlooper served as mayor of Denver from 2003 to 2011, during which time the city hosted the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Prior to entering public service, he operated Wynkoop Brewing Co., a Denver brewpub, which he opened in 1988. He was a geologist for Buckhorn Petroleum, a now defunct oil company, from 1981 to 1988.[1]
The state constitution establishes the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.
Colorado Constitution, Article IV, Section 2
The supreme executive power of the state shall be vested in the governor, who shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
Colorado Constitution, Article II, Section 2
All political power is vested in and derived from the people; all government, of right, originates from the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole.

Article IV, Section 4 of the state constitution requires all candidates for the governorship to be:
- at least 30 years old
- a U.S. citizen
- a resident of Colorado for at least two years on the day of the election. The standard for residency is not affected by time out of the state due to civil or military service (Article VII, Section 4)
Article III forbids any officer of the executive department from holding any legislative or judicial office.
A candidate is disqualified from holding the office of governor if he has been convicted of "embezzlement of public moneys, bribery, perjury, solicitation of bribery, or subornation of perjury"(Article XII, § 4). Additionally, any civil officer who "solicits, demands, or receives" a bribe forfeits his office and his right to hold any other office in the future, and is liable to criminal penalties (Article XII, § 6).
Colorado Constitution, Article IV, Section 4
No person shall be eligible to the office of governor or lieutenant governor unless he shall have attained the age of thirty years, nor to the office of secretary of state or state treasurer unless he shall have attained the age of twentyfive years, nor to the office of attorney general unless he shall have attained the age of twentyfive years and be a licensed attorney of the supreme court of the state in good standing, and no person shall be eligible to any one of said offices unless, in addition to the qualifications above prescribed therefor, he shall be a citizen of the United States, and have resided within the limits of the state two years next preceding his election.

- See also: Election of governors
Colorado elects governors in federal midterm election years (e.g. 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018). Per Article IV, Section 1 of the state constitution, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the second Tuesday in the January following an election. Thus, January 11, 2011 and January 13, 2015 are inaugural days.
If two candidates are tied, a joint session of the legislature casts ballots to choose the winner from among the top two voter getters. If the election is contested, the legislature shall jointly resolve the manner as prescribed by law. In early 1905, the previous year's gubernatorial election was formally contested and the legislature did in fact vote to remove the candidate who had been initially declared the winner.
Colorado Constitution, Article IV, Section 1
(1) The executive department shall include the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, and attorney general, each of whom shall hold his office for the term of four years, commencing on the second Tuesday of January in the year 1967, and each fourth year thereafter. They shall perform such duties as are prescribed by this constitution or by law.
Term limits
- See also: States with gubernatorial term limits
The position of governor of Colorado has been subject to term limits since 1990, when the Colorado Term Limits Act was approved with 71% of the vote.
Any individual is limited to two terms as governor. Serving more than half of a term as an appointee or as an acting governor qualifies as a full term for purposes of applying term limits.
Colorado Constitution, Article IV, Section 1
In order to broaden the opportunities for public service and to guard against excessive concentrations of power, no governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, or attorney general shall serve more than two consecutive terms in such office...
Removal from office
Colorado is among the 19 states that provides citizens an avenue to recall their governor. One territorial governor, Edward M. McCook, was removed by petition. No governors have been recalled since Colorado became a state in 1876. Additionally, the legislature may impeach the governor, a privilege they have never exercised.
Recalls are governed under Article XXI, Sections 1 through 3
State officials, including the governor, are subject to recall after the first six months of their term. Recall proponents must file a petition with the same officer who accepts the nominating petition for the office in question; for statewide officers, this is the Colorado Secretary of State.
The petition must have valid signatures equal to 25% of the votes cast for the incumbent in his last election. Based on the number of votes received by the governor in the 2010 election, a recall petition would require 446,933 signatures, or 25% of the 1,787,730 votes cast for the incumbent, John Hickenlooper. Additionally, the petition must contain a statement, not exceeding 200 words, stating the grounds for the recall.
Normally, the governor is the officer charged with calling a recall election after validating signatures. However, if the governor is the officer being recalled, the lieutenant governor oversees the election. The incumbent subject to recall has five days to resign before the presiding officer calls the recall election.
If the petition, once submitted, is insufficient, it may be withdrawn and, within 15 days, amended and refiled. Once determined to be sufficient, a recall petition is submitted to the lieutenant governor, who calls a recall election not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days from the date of the petition's filing. If a general election is set within 90 days, the recall election may be combined with the general election.
If the recall fails, the incumbent may not be recalled again for the remainder of his or her term. Additionally, an incumbent who survives a recall is legally entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses from the state treasury.
- See also: Gubernatorial impeachment procedures
Impeachments of civil officers are governed under Article XIII, Sections 1 and 2.
The Colorado House of Representatives has the "sole power of impeachment" and a majority of the House's members must concur to impeach.
If the House does impeach, the Colorado Senate tries all impeachments, with all Senators required to take an oath or affirmation to be impartial before the trial begins. Article XIII, Section 1 of the state constitution requires the Chief Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court be the presiding officer when the governor or lieutenant governor is on trial.
The governor and lieutenant governor are liable to impeachment for "high crimes or misdemeanors or malfeasance in office" but, if impeached, the Senate's judgment only extend to removal from office and disqualification to hold further offices. An impeached officer may still be liable for indictment, trial, and punishment by state law enforcement.
Oath of office
Civil officers, including the governor, are required to take an oath under Article XII, Section 8 before they may carry out any functions of their office. Under Article XII, Section 9, officers of the Executive Department file their oath with the Colorado Secretary of State.
Specifics of oaths and affirmations are described in the Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 24, Article 12, Sections 101-108.
- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article IV, Section 13 of the state constitution.
If the office of the governor is vacant, temporarily or permanently, for any reason, the lieutenant governor takes over all the duties and responsibilities of the office. Once the lieutenant governor assumes the governorship, he appoints a replacement for the now-empty lieutenant governorship.
If the lieutenant governor is unable to discharge the office or if both the governor's and lieutenant governor's offices are vacant, the position(s) shall be filled by the highest ranking member(s) of the General Assembly who belongs to the same party as the elected officer in question.
If the governor is unfit for office due to physical or mental illness, the office holder may deliver a written statement to the legislature declaring himself no longer able to serve, or the Colorado Supreme Court may hold a hearing to deem the office holder not physically or mentally fit for office.
Additionally, if an appointed governor serves more than half of a four year term, for purposes of applying term limits, he shall be considered to have served a full term.
The Governor is responsible for upholding the Colorado Constitution and for faithfully executing all laws (§ 2). The governor also acts as commander in chief of the state's militia/National Guard at all times, unless it has been federalized (§ 5).
Under Article II, Sections 21 and 22, the governor may only suspend habeas corpus in times of rebellion or invasion and the state's militia is always subject to civil authority.
The governor has a veto over all bills, including appropriations, passed by the General Assembly. The legislature may override vetoes with a supermajority (66% or more) of both houses (§ 11, 12).
In addition to appointing, with Senate confirmation, all state executive offices not appointed by some other means, the Governor may remove officers for malfeasance, neglect, or incompetence (§ 6). Whenever any elected office becomes vacant when the Senate is in recess, the Governor may make a recess appointment, provided he presents his nominee to the Senate when they next convene.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Granting pardons for all crimes, save treason. In all pardons and reprieves, he must communicate to the legislature the details of and reasons for the action (§ 7).
- Requiring written information, given under oath, from all officers and managers of state institutions on the conditions of the offices they oversee (§ 8)
- Providing details of the expenditures of the governor's office to the legislature (§ 8)
- Convening extraordinary sessions of the House or the Senate (§ 9), and adjourning the Assembly when its members cannot agree to do so themselves (§ 10)
- Making vacancy appointments to the any court of records from a list of nominees supplied by the Supreme Court Nominating Commission (Article VI, § 20(1)) and making vacancy appointments to vacant District Attorney offices (Article VI, § 20(4))
- Declaring a state of emergency and issuing an executive order to move the seat of government, after consultation with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the President Pro Tem of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, and the Attorney General (Article VIII, § 3)
- Appointing all field, staff, and general military officers and commissioning the officers each company selects (Article XVII, § 3)
Additionally, statutory duties and privileges of the office are described in the Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 24, Article 20, Part 1, Section 101-110.
The structure of the governor's office is partly described in the Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 24, Article 37-38.9.
The governor's office currently has 12 political and policy offices within it, in addition to the Governor's Press Office[2]:

Per Article IV, Section 19 of the state constitution, the governor's salary is legally fixed and may not be raised or decreased effective during the current term.
In 2011, the Governor of Colorado was paid $90,000, the 48th highest gubernatorial salary in America.[8]
Gubernatorial residence
- See also: Residences of the American governors
Properly known as the Boettcher Mansion, the official gubernatorial residence is an early 20th century white marble home, built in the Roman Ionic style and located at East 8th Avenue and Logan Street on Capitol Hill in Denver.
The mansion passed through the ownership of many of Colorado's founding families, having been built by the Cheesemans between 1907-1908, upgraded by the Evans throughout the early 1920s, and finally coming to be owned by the Boettchers. It was offered to the state of Colorado as a gubernatorial residence in 1957, in accordance with the will of Edna Boettcher, and accepted on behalf of the state by Governor Stephen McNichols in 1959.
Many of the furnishings are original to the era when the mansion was a private residence. Of particular note is the Waterford chandelier in the main drawing room, which originally hung in the White House ballroom and was given to Colorado on the occasion of her statehood, in 1876, by President Chester A. Arthur.
The second floor is the private residence of the First Family of Colorado, if they so choose. The lack of both space and privacy has led to several recent governors maintaining their private homes instead. Governor Hickenlooper and Governor Owens both kept their own homes, through Governor Ritter moved into the mansion.
The main floor of the mansion is used for state occasions, is open to the public for tours, and may be rented for private events.

Colorado has had eight territorial governors and 42 state governors, for a total of 50 chief executives.

|Incumbent at statehood
‡ : The 1904 election was rife with fraud. Democrat Alva Adams, who served as the 5th and 10th Governor, was initially declared the winner, sworn in, and took office as the 14th Governor in January of 1905.
On the morning on March 17, 1905, the Republican controlled legislature declared that the election had in fact been "won" by James Hamilton Peabody, the incumbent Adams had "defeated", and declared Peabody the winner, provided he immediately resign the office.
Peabody thus served as the 13th and 15th Governor of Colorado.
Peabody assumed the office, named Jesse Fuller McDonald as his Lieutenant Governor, and promptly communicated his resignation to the Secretary of State, at which point McDonald became the 16th Governor of Colorado.
Colorado is the only state to have had three Governors serve in a single day.
∫ : Edwin C. Johnson won a U.S. Senate seat in the 1932 elections and resigned his lame duck gubernatorial office 12 days before his successor was inaugurated due to differences between the state and federal inauguration schedules. Johnson's lieutenant, Ray Herbert Talbot, served for 12 days until the scheduled inaugural day, when Governor-elect Teller Ammons was sworn in.
Δ : William Lee Knous resigned to take a judgeship on the U.S. District Court for Colorado.
† : John Arthur Love resigned to become the Director of the Office of Energy Policy.

|From "Dirt to Plate" - All Children's and Kohls Promote Healthy Eating
But the real story unfolds just beyond the fertile, well-tended patch of dirt below, inside the bustling Family Consumer Science classroom. A special project is in progress with expert guidance from teacher Jamie Colver - and helping hands from members of All Children's Fit4AllKids staff and the sponsorship of Kohl's Cooks for Kids.
Students were busy cooking what they've been cultivating in the ground as a follow-up to ACH's special "Dirt to Plate" Newspaper in Education section, published last month in the Tampa Bay Times.
Heads of cabbage from the garden were sliced and diced, and mixed in with other ingredients to create healthy and delicious Teriyaki Lettuce Wraps, using the shredded cabbage, mixed veggies, rice noodles and ground turkey breast to fill each lettuce leaf.
This is the third year Colver and her students have maintained the garden, but the first that they've cooked their own food from it. The Pinellas Park Middle School garden was featured in the Dirt to Plate issue, which led Fit4AllKids Coordinator Kellie Gilmore to extend an offer to create an all-day culinary event for the 120-plus students in Colver's four Family classes this past Monday.
"Ms. Gilmore was awesome to offer this cooking event when she put out Dirt to Plate," said Colver, whose work with her students and the garden were featured in the section. "I said, 'Oh my gosh, my kids will love that.' And this is something they've been excited about and looking forward to. It was kind of neat to show the kids, 'Look guys, here's what we grew, and it's going to go into this recipe.' They're just loving it."
The event served as an ideal end-of-year activity, allowing the students to harvest what they've been growing - and see the fruits, or in this case veggies, of their labors.
"It's been going great - we have nothing left," said Gilmore, as the final session began. "They eat everything they cook."
The students went right to work, hovering over an array of stoves and pans, preparing their food and learning the value of eating smart as they went.
"It's a better way to save money," said seventh grader Liz Hyatt. "And it's cool cooking."
Amid the daily diet of math, science and composition, consider it a valuable lesson learned.

Midwest Living Review
This farm is laid out so visitors can see a bit of the picturesque grounds for free, including the historic Morton barns used by Arbor Day founder J. Sterling Morton. The lovely, white Apple House Pie & Garden Cafe is also open to all, and it's appealing with its rocking chairs, picnic tables and the smells of fresh apple cider and deep-dish pie. Trees are the overriding theme here, and the farm's admission-required Tree Adventure attraction is a great way to spend at least three hours exploring nature with elementary-age kids. They adore the outdoor classroom, which includes music-making, hammocks and building areas. Climbing up the 50-foot high treehouse deck is also an essential experience, and the view of the forest canopy is pretty. Paved and mulch hiking trails include signage questions about animal tracks impressed in the concrete and opportunities to identify bird calls. Art pieces, beautiful bridges and "kissing trees" all add to the simple beauty here. It's easy to skip by the indoor exhibits, but kids will enjoy the interactive tree info. The movie theater is cool too, and rather than a possibly dull documentary, the show is a compilation of famous movie clips involving trees. In the fall, visitors can pick and buy bags of apples and enjoy a 20-acre corn maze. For those not interested in hiking, the farm also offers tram tours. Open daily except major holidays. Admission charged.

Does anybody know how to fix an old disc? I mean a disc with notches and big scrapes. Any ideas?
Does anybody know how to fix an old disc? I mean a disc with notches and big scrapes. Any ideas?
How big are we talking here? I will use a pocket knife, nail clippers, and sand papper if I have something that is sharp or bothersome. If its not bad I generally don't worry about it and it will work its way smooth. If you are not carefull excessive sanding etc will make the disc illegal for PDGA play so less is best in my opinion.
Thanks! I didn't know that sanding your disc can make it illegal. Is it a weight issue or thinkness or what? I just figured that a smooth disc would travel better than one that's nicked up. I think I'll try cutting the big stuff off and sanding it smooth. Thanks again!
Taken from the online rule book:
802.01 Discs Used in Play
A. Discs used in play must meet all of the conditions set forth in the Official PDGA Technical Standards Document. See section 805 B for disc technical standards.
B. A disc which is cracked or perforated is illegal. See sections 802.01 D, E and F. A disc which is cracked during a round may be carried by the player, but not used, for the balance of the tournament. The player must immediately declare his intention to carry the newly cracked or broken disc to the group or be subject to penalty under 802.01 E.
C. Players may not make post-production modification of discs which alter their original flight characteristics. This rule does not forbid inevitable wear and tear from usage during play or the moderate sanding of discs to smooth molding imperfections or scrape marks. Discs excessively sanded or painted with a material of detectable thickness are illegal. See sections 802.01 D, E and F.
D. Discs must be specifically approved by the director if questioned by another player or an official, but in no case shall the disc be approved if it violates any of the above specifications. Any specifically non-approved disc (per the director) shall be considered illegal, and the player shall be penalized in accordance with 802.01 E.
E. A player who carries an illegal disc during play shall receive two penalty throws, without a warning, if observed by two or more players of the group or an official. A player who repeatedly throws an illegal disc during the round may be subject to disqualification in accordance with 804.05 A (3).
F. All discs used in play, except mini marker discs, must be uniquely marked in ink or pigment-based marking which has no detectable thickness. A player shall receive a warning for the first instance of throwing an unmarked disc if observed by two or more players of the group or an official. After the warning has been given, each subsequent throw by the player with an unmarked disc shall incur one penalty throw if observed by two or more players of the group or an official.
Dude, torn up discs are some of the best flying discs out there. I would say leave it alone. I have never once in all my years playing tried to fix a disc. At best if it had a huge piece hanging off I tore off the excess plastic but that is it. Just throw it. Plastic constantly changes, so the flight will constantly change. Thats just part of the sport. The more you throw the more you will learn. So continue to throw a changing disc and it will teach you things! Or something like that....

text: Thanks, Adam! I just wish I could have felt a bit better when I played there the other day. I did have one amazing shot, though. On #7 (dogleg right into a tunnel in the woods), I shanked my forehand drive into the far side of the dead trees. I then throw a huge forehand turnover for it to S-through the woods, towards the hole. Unfortunately, it hit one of the top branches of the dead tree, shattering it into a thousand splinters (and showering Martin and Keira (his dog) with them in the process). However, it kept going and ended up less than ten feet from the pin! Needless to say, I was amazed! :weee:

There is a book soon to come out that some of you might be interested in. It's called The Dawkins Delusion – a response to Richard Dawkins and it will hit stores in February of 2007. It was written by Alister McGrath in response to Dawkins book, The God Delusion. McGrath has been highly critical of Richard Dawkins, calling him "embarrassingly ignorant of Christian theology". He has wanted to have a public discussion with Dawkins but Dawkins has declined.
Alister E. McGrath is a biochemist and Christian theologian born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is currently Professor of Historical Theology at the University of Oxford. I don't know all that much about him but after hearing some of his lectures I think he is an interesting guy. Many of you will likely disagree with him before even listening to what he has to say. If that is you then don't bother reading the book. But many of you are not afraid to listen to a differing worldview. And for those who enjoyed Dawkins' book you owe it to yourself to hear what McGrath has to say.
To listen to a recent lecture of his click on the following link:
I hope to finish Dawkins book and follow it up with McGrath's. It will be interesting to hear what these guys have to say.

MTR 201 Pro Low Women RRP $ 129.00
This little gem is a genuine alternative to the highflying MTR 201 due to its gripex Sonar II sole, whose rounded edges create a completely different running experience. The inner rubber blend is an extremely adhesive sticky rubber with exceptionally high abrasion resistance. This alpine performer is also made from very robust and abrasion-resistant 3-D polyamide fabric; it is extremely light and features Mammut's proven and patented Base Fit and Rolling Concept technologies. The wedge is made from ultra-lightweight injected EVA IP. The cushioning Strobel midsole, which runs the entire length, also functions as a stone protector. The VENtech lining, which is used in the forefoot area, ensures rapid moisture absorption, drying and therefore climate optimization. This high-tech shoe also features memo foam, 3-D textiles, liquid rubber and 360 heel support. Reflective elements help to keep you safe in the dark.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

October 23, 2013
Now that Congress and the president have narrowly dodged the latest crisis, we must demand an end to the political gamesmanship and a return to governing.
The agreement to end the government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling is not to be considered a victory for anyone. The 16-day government shutdown cost the economy $24 billion and will slow economic growth, according to an analysis by Standard & Poor's. That equates to real people who saw their paychecks cut and their businesses hurt.
The deal reached Wednesday would finance the government only through Jan. 15 and lift the debt ceiling through Feb. 7. So we are merely headed toward another crisis in a matter of weeks unless Congress and the President get serious about negotiating a long-term budget deal.
In this brief interim, it is time to govern, not to continue to play politics. All sides should rediscover the art of compromise and negotiation, because that's what any deal will require….
To his credit, House Speaker John Boehner, the West Chester Republican, finally allowed a vote on the Senate deal to resolve the crisis even though a majority of House Republicans opposed it. But a majority of the full House supported it and maybe that's a model for future long-term deals.

UPDATE: Now part of Dust-War.com! The new URL is http://builder.dust-war.com/ . The old URL will continue to work if you have saved/shared lists.
While the rules for making a Dust army are easy, the way Platoons are built - with a subset of choices for each section - makes it awkward to mess around with tweaking lists, especially when planning what models to buy!
Dust Warfare Force Builder is a JavaScript-driven webpage which makes it easier to create lists, and output them in useful format.
Try it now at http://builder.dust-war.com/
It should work on all platforms in standard browsers.
I plan to add a couple additional features - mainly a 'link' feature that encodes your entire army choice into the URL and can be shared/bookmarked/etc. It's as good (or better) than a 'save/load' feature!
Feedback is welcome!
Please note, however, I am a software engineer - my talents lie in programming, logic, and software architecture. I am not a graphical designer or artist, nor do I do much web development. If someone would like to assist in making the site look nicer, I would very much appreciate the help.
If you enjoy using the tool, consider making a donation to my favorite charity, the Snow Leopard Trust

The world is Monroe muralist's canvas

Under cloudy skies next to the Snohomish River, David Hose, 68, works on the mural he is painting on the American Legion in Snohomish.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
David Hose, 68, leans down to refill his brush with paint while working on the mural.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A paint-splattered radio sits on the scaffolding as Hose works.
It's all his fault. His art is so intriguing that people can't help but stop to watch and chat as he transforms the side of an old brick building into a colorful masterpiece.
Hose, 68, is a modern-day caveman-Renaissance man.
The lean, tanned figure with fluffy white hair and splattered jeans dips a brush into a can of Sherwin-Williams exterior paint to do the oldest form of human artwork. What now punches up drab downtowns began eons ago as a form of expression in caves, pyramids and cathedrals.
Unlike studio art, mural painting is public art from the first stroke.
"Meeting people is a big part of my work. I am very inspired by them," Hose said. "This is absolute joy. It is something I put my heart into. I get pretty obsessive."
Hose has done about 30 public murals around Snohomish County in the past 10 years.
His current mural on the Earl Winehart Post of the American Legion in downtown Snohomish depicts six wars dating from World War I to Iraq and Afghanistan. The callow young man holding a rifle in the first box is a representation of the legion's soldier namesake.
The colors, weapons and faces change in the sections from then to now. Aircraft through the ages adds dimension to the expansive blue sky.
It is a beautiful yet somber scene.
"You start to relive what these people go through, even vicariously," Hose said. "Especially talking to people. A lot are vets, and I get very moved. And when I'm moved I can paint well."
He said it doesn't matter that he wasn't in the military, rejected from serving due to foot problems.
Hose hopes to have the 35-by-60-foot mural done by the end of summer. He expects to use 25 to 30 gallons of paint.
For guidance, he tapes up sketches and photos on the huge brick canvas. "You learn how little you know when you do a big mural like this," he said.
He needed a hydraulic lift for the legion mural. Usually, a ladder does the trick.
"It's the biggest I've ever done and the most complicated," he said. "I underestimated my time, but I won't leave the wall until I get truly what I want and what they want."
Pat Guyot, legion commander, said Hose was the right fit for the project to replace the aging, smaller mural that needed a makeover.
"I've seen his work, and it's just phenomenal," Guyot said. "This is to show respect for our comrades in arms, for veterans and active duty."
Hose is stirred by the human connection to what he paints.
"I love to do murals of what people love in their lives," he said. "When I hear from them something that really moves them, that's what moves me."
What moves people varies. One of his early murals in the 1990s was on painted tiles for a Vegas casino.
"I did a food court mural in the Rio of a beach with ladies in bikinis," he said. "I don't know if it's still there."
He doesn't do many bikini bods these days. Mostly of his facades are historical scenes, landscapes and school mascots.
The Seattle-area native has been drawing ever since he could hold a crayon.
"I couldn't stop. That's why I didn't get very good grades," he said. "I was always drawing and the teachers got upset. I was doodling, drawing human faces, profiles, others students. They were like, 'Hose, come on.' "
He went to art school in San Francisco, but dropped out after a year.
"I was looking for a purpose in my life. They wanted me to go into commercial art," he said. "I left art school in search of myself. It was the whole generation thing in 1966."
In 1967, he became a "Moonie," the term used for members of the Unification Church founded by Sun Myung Moon.
It's where he met his wife, Takeko. "We got married in a gigantic ceremony in 1970 in Seoul, Korea," he said.
They stayed with the church while raising a family.
"I traveled the world in counseling and lecturing," Hose said. "For 25 years, my art was a little sketch pad I took with me to every country I visited. Palm trees, cathedrals and street scenes, that was my only connection. I was hanging on to art by a thread."
Hose said he left the church movement in the 1990s because of a "parting of ways."
The family settled in Bellevue, where he pursued his art, mostly doing portraits and tile paintings.
A move to Monroe in 2004 changed his focus. He started painting murals reflecting small-town life.
"Things just started taking off," he said. "People started calling. It exploded."
His next project will play to a different crowd. He's doing a mural in an elementary school.
"Kids are wonderful," he said. "They'll come by and say, 'I'm an artist, too. I draw bunnies.' "
Everybody's got to start somewhere.
