	Lieutenant governor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Australia, the Lieutenant Governor is the subordinate of the Governor of a state, who serves as Administrator, or acting Governor, in case of illness or disability of the Governor.
		Lieutenant Governors are nominally appointed by the Governor General but in practice are chosen by the Prime Minister of Canada usually in consultation with that province's respective premier.
		In the Isle of Man, the Lieutenant Governor was until 1980 the presiding officer of the Legislative Council and of Tynwald Court (the Legislative Council and the House of Keys in joint session), but both roles have been transferred to the President of Tynwald.

	Bambooweb: Lieutenant governor
		However, one interesting constitutional question is the role of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec in the hypothetical case of the Quebec National Assembly voting to unilaterally secede.
		The procedure for election of lieutenant governor varies from state to state with some states having the governor and lieutenant governor running as running mates on a joint ticket while others the governor and the lieutenant governor run separately.
		Thus, when a lieutenant governor of Texas becomes governor, he or she assumes a higher office, but loses power.

	Guernsey
		Rising sea levels transformed Guernsey into the tip of a peninsula jutting out into the emergent English Channel until about 6000 BC Guernsey and other promontories were cut off from continental Europe, becoming islands.
		The national animal of the island of Guernsey is the donkey.
		The traditional explanation of this is the steepness of St. Peter Port streets that necessitated beasts of burden for transport (in contrast to the flat terrain of the rival capital of St Helier in Jersey).

	[No title]
		Guernsey is not part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland[11], nor is it a colony[12].
		Guernsey itself is a Crown Dependency and differs from other possessions of Her Majesty owing to its lack of absolute sovereignty, its proximity and economic ties to the UK mainland, and the “antiquated” nature of its enduring links with the Crown[15].
		[5] By “Guernsey” it is meant the Island, as opposed to the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

	Bailiwick of Guernsey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Lieutenant-Governor's flag is as Jersey's except that Guernsey's arms are distinguished from those of Jersey (and England) by the addition of a golden sprig of leaves issuing from the top of the shield.
		The arms were submitted to the King for his approval and the Lt-Governor of Guernsey was then told that, "the King had been pleased to approve his proposals." The Governor interpreted this as meaning that the flag had also been authorised.
		The lion is presumably from the Guernsey (and English) CoA, with the leaf on the top which distinguishes the Guernsey CoA from the otherwise identical ones of Jersey and England.

		Both islands have recently undertaken a review of the machinery of government and it is likely that these will lead to future changes of significance, with a shift to ministerial government under a chief minister.
		The Lieutenant-Governors of Jersey and of Guernsey in this century are distinguished military or naval men, who give five years at the end of an active life, to filling a position almost exactly analogous to that of the Queen, whose personal representative they are.
		The States of Election are simply an electoral college, whose function is to elect the twelve Conseillers for the States of Deliberation, and the twelve Jurats for the Royal Court.

	Captain William Le Lacheur - Guernsey and Costa Rica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There are no further records of William Le Lacheur until 1827, when he became Captain of the 111 ton brig St. GEORGE, which belonged to Vidamour and Co. Vessels of this size were plying routes between the Mediterranean, Spain, Madeira, or the Balearic Islands and England, to meet the increasing demand for fresh fruit.
		Guernsey had a relatively new network of military roads at that time, built by Sir John Doyle, Baronet, Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey.
		The network connected the Forest parish to St Peter Port, but it is possible that William chose to lodge with the De Jersey’s once he went to sea full time, as his boat would have berthed in St Peter Port harbour.
