It's not the sort of day normally associated with royalty, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge gave it their best shot to show they could hang with the cool kids.
Scratching a beat, aerosol art and admiration for some scootering skills, the royal couple – perhaps too formally dressed in suits – wowed the people of Elizabeth in a three-hour stopover in Adelaide on Wednesday.
Fresh from their overnight stop at Uluru, the couple went straight from Edinburgh air force base to see youth empowerment programs in Adelaide's north.
The duchess, in a dusty pink Alexander McQueen outfit, was presented with a posy of Australian native flowers by Lauren Stephenson, 6, from the Make-A-Wish Australia Foundation.
Again showing her gentle side, she spoke at length to the young girl who's has been in remission for two years from bone cancer, before William also joined in the chat.
Inside the Northern Sound System, the couple watched an exhibition of break dancing, singing and an indigenous dance project.
But first up was a hip-hop class at the Northern Sound System youth project where they were invited to try their skills at DJ style "scratching".
Kate proved a natural at keeping the beat but the prince was not in his wife's league.
"She was fantastic," workshop facilitator Shane Petersen said.
"But he can fly a helicopter so it's horses for courses."
Outside the centre, William added a blue sky to some aerosol art and then watched a BMX and scooter display.
As daredevil riders did somersaults in the skate bowl the duke passed up a chance to have a go himself.
"He said he might stack it," 15-year-old committee member from the Elizabeth Riders group Luke Haldenby said.
However, the royals were enthused about the gift of a skateboard for Prince George, the design by 16-year-old Zechef featuring boxing kangaroos and George's name in cursive.
"He thought it was amazing, he loved it. Even Kate loved it too, she thought it was cool that it said `George' on it," Luke said.
Other members of the riding group said they were impressed by Prince William's skills with the aerosol can, describing him as a "true Aussie".
"He was actually pretty good considering that was his first time," they said.
From the skate park the Duke and Duchess travelled to a nearby civic reception, taking time out to walk along the barricades and speak with people, including many who had been waiting several hours.
They delighted Monica Swarbrick by wishing her a happy 100th birthday.
Inside the Playford Civic Centre, they chatted to around 200 guests all aged under 30.
Zoe Stone, 23, was one of a group of volunteers from cancer support group Canteen to meet the duchess .
"I'm shaking after getting that opportunity to meet her," Ms Stone told AAP.
The royal couple also unveiled a plaque naming the forecourt to the centre, the Prince George Plaza, in honour of their nine-month-old son who remained in Canberra.
About 15,000 people were on hand in Elizabeth, the northern suburb putting on a picture-perfect day as they toured the area named after William's grandmother.
The area started out as a working class enclave that serviced the Holden car factory and other manufacturing industries, but in recent years has been plagued by unemployment and disadvantage.
The Duke and Duchess head back to Canberra for the final two days of their three-week visit to New Zealand and Australia.

KirstyF necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 78 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Honest John
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk is one of the most popular websites in the UK for consumer motoring advice. It is visited by almost 1.2million motorists each month. Honest John is a motoring website headed up by a well known character within the motor industry – Honest John. We are looking for a logo for an Honest John awards ceremony.
Honest John Awards logo
Seven years ago, a motoring columnist and former car trader saw that British car-buyers desperately needed a special kind of website. Most car buyers simply wanted straight answers to direct questions about what was the best car and the best deal for them, written in a way they could clearly understand by someone they trust – Honest John.
Honest John is a motoring website headed up by a well known character within the motor industry – Honest John. Famous for his straight talking style and trilby hat, Honest John will be hosting an awards night to celebrate success within the automotive industry.
The Honest John awards will be an awards night with a difference. The theme of the night will play on the 'Honest' theme, no boring, fancy black tie affair, good honest fun with Honest John. We would like you to design a logo that can be used on all promotional material for the event, invitations, posters and even the awards themselves.
The logo will incorporate Honest John's trademark Trilby hat and will follow the 'no frills' theme. By this we mean clear, simple and good quality, not budget. The event will be different from other motoring awards ceremonies such as What Car or Autotrader and we would also like our logo to be distinct as well.
There is no pretension with the Honest John brand; it is informative, credible and above all 'honest'.
We have a quick turnaround for this event so we will be looking at a deadline of 7 days for the design.
We have a preference for vector based designs. The winning design will need to be provided in a high-res format in both colour and black and white versions.

Adobe Photoshop really is a powerful image enhancing tool, and is broadly regarded as the very best application for the purpose of image adjustment. Photoshop includes a wide array of flexible and practical features, however these very features may be complicated and confusing for a beginner. Trying to be taught Adobe Photoshop from the handbook can be challenging and frustrating, since manuals usually are written as reference for users that already have some idea of what they are undertaking, rather than specifically for beginners, and books related to studying Photoshop can also appear dense and challenging to comprehend.
To utilize the possibilities of the Photoshop computer software, think about making use of educational videos. This sort of guide allows you to observe how a given characteristic is used or effect will be accomplished in real time, as the very action is accomplished. You can also pause it, and give it a go on your own personal Adobe Photoshop software, as with Photoshop instructional videos, you have a constant reference. If you don't have enough time or even funds to go to lessons and courses, online video training can be a really great guide in learning how to take advantage of your Photoshop computer software.
A few Photoshop video tutorials are free, and many are available on You-tube, although the quality might not be that good, and they may not me teaching you what you really need to find out. However, the free sort of tutorial can be handy, as they're readily available online, and it is a great way to see that you do like the video style of training before you decide to acquire more professionally made video tutorials that have been especially made for beginners to learn Photoshop.
Such especially made video tutorials for beginners will help you learn how to easily use the most commonly used features inside your Photoshop software package. A few topics which may be covered might be how to eliminate red eye from your photos, cropping a picture to more attractive dimensions, and even removing unwanted objects from your photographs.
A whole load of websites possess tutorials about Adobe Photoshop that teach you cool things like how to make specific borders or perhaps buttons for websites. This can be good if you already have a working knowledge of Photoshop, nevertheless it will provide practically nothing if you are just getting started. Photoshop is like anything else, whereby you don't want to learn how to run before you can walk, or you will merely stumble even before you get going. Photoshop is quite a large investment to make just to edit photos, so follow these steps to successfully learn Photoshop.

John Lennon Anthology
On his debut solo album John Lennon closed the book on many aspects of his past. Much of the record was devoted to his troubled relationship with his parents, but The Beatles – in many ways his surrogate family throughout the 1960s – still loomed large in his life and career. On the song God he finally broke the spell, telling the world that the dream was over with his stark revelation: "I don't believe in Beatles".
John Lennon always had ambivalent feelings towards religion. His 1966 claim that "We're more popular than Jesus" had caused eruptions of anti-Beatles sentiment across the world, and the chorus of 1969's The Ballad Of John And Yoko led to further disquiet over its use of the word 'crucify'.
I was just talking about Christianity in that – a thing like you have to be tortured to attain heaven. I'm only saying that I was talking about 'pain will lead to pleasure' in Girl and that was sort of the Catholic Christian concept – be tortured and then it'll be all right, which seems to be a bit true but not in their concept of it. But I didn't believe in that, that you have to be tortured to attain anything, it just so happens that you were.
Lennon Remembers, Jann S Wenner
God, the penultimate song on John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, was composed in Los Angeles while Lennon was undergoing Primal Scream therapy.
He rented a house in Bel Air, which is a very ritzy area here, and we talked about things. He said: 'What about God?' and I would go on and on about [how] people who have deep pain generally tend to believe in God with a fervency. And he said: 'Oh, you mean God is a concept by which we measure our pain.' Just bang. I would go all around it and he was there, just like that. And that was John. John could take very profound philosophical concepts and make it simple.
Classic Albums: Plastic Ono Band
Lennon recorded several demos of God in the house on Nimes Road, Bel Air, where he stayed during his course of therapy. One of the recordings was included on 2004's Acoustic album. Playing a distorted acoustic guitar, Lennon began with a semi-spoken introduction in the style of a gospel preacher.
I had a mission from above. And I'm here to tell you that this message concerns our love. The angels must have sent me to deliver this to you. Now hear me now, brothers and sisters.
Some of the words were different in the demos: Zimmerman was known as Dylan, and the phrase "Yoko and me" was absent. The "dream is over" section was also missing; instead Lennon sang the verse and litany once again.
Like a lot of the words, they just came out of me mouth. It started off like that. God was stuck together from three songs almost. I had the idea, 'God is the concept by which we measure our pain'. So when you have a [phrase] like that, you just sit down and sing the first tune that comes into your head. And the tune is the simple [sings] 'God is the concept – bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp' 'cause I like that kind of music. And then I just rolled into it. [Sings] 'I don't believe in magic' – and it was just going on in me head. And I Ching and the Bible, the first three or four just came out, whatever came out.
I don't know when I realised I was putting down all these things I didn't believe in. I could have gone on, it was like a Christmas card list – where do I end? Churchill, and who have I missed out? It got like that and I thought I had to stop... I was going to leave a gap and say, just fill in your own, for whoever you don't believe in. It just got out of hand. But Beatles was the final thing because it's like I no longer believe in myth, and Beatles is another myth. I don't believe in it. The dream's over. I'm not just talking about The Beatles is over, I'm talking about the generation thing. The dream's over, and I have personally got to get down to so-called reality.
Lennon Remembers, Jann S Wenner

LIVERMORE — Running back Eric Haynes carried 23 times for 118 yards and scored two touchdowns as the undefeated Broncos won their third straight game. Quarterback Kyle Austin threw a touchdown pass for Northgate (3-0).
Andre Kasten ran 14 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter for the host Cowboys (1-2).
The Broncos scored two touchdowns in each of the first two quarters. Haynes scored on a 5-yard run on Northgate's first possession of the game and Austin threw a 40-yard TD pass to Jake Smith with 5:28 left in the period.
Haynes scored his second touchdown on a 1-yard run with 11:01 left in the second quarter and Matt Huang scored on a 37-yard run with 4:58 left.
The Cowboys' best chance to score in the first half came in the second quarter when quarterback Travis Adams led his team on a six-play, 44-yard drive to the Northgate 23, but a fumble ended the threat with 7:56 left in the second period.
Haynes gained 88 yards on 16 carries in the first half.

frozengr necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 25 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
We are a team of two young entrepreneurs, based in Athens, Greece. We are looking to start a new trend in the dating scene as we have spotted a gap in this area of our country. The majority of the dating websites are looking quite old and out-of-fashion, so we aim to shake things up a little bit. We are looking to project a fresh, care-free, funky image for our logo that distances itself from the typical dating website. The site is about love and romance, covering serious and casuals relationships. The profile we would like to build is not so formal, but something people would identify instantly and can relate to easily. Greeks are laid-back, relaxed and playful but are not used to visiting on-line dating websites to find love. However they are very familiar with Facebook and other social networking websites. So the underlying theme is meeting people for dating purposes, but the brand should be more about networking and finding people which you can relate with.
Our core focus group is single men and women between 30 and 40 years old, with the wider audience being being 25 to 45. The characteristics of our target audience are people that have been let down by a relationship recently and would like to meet new individuals. Also our service will target the friends of our core audience, as they are able to build a profile for them. In addition we see a potential market in people that do not have time to find a proper date due to job demands or lack of time/money.
The market for on line dating websites is new in Greece so we are trying to position this concept as casual, friendly and more social networking like.
You are now free to experiment with other
designs, not only as desribed below with cows!!!
The prize is guaranteed!
Our website VresMou consists of two Greek words that we would like you to use in our logo:
Vres: means Find
Mou: means Me
So, our domain name stands for Find Me (a date)!
We would like our logo to be a cartoon of two cows (Mou is the sound that a cow makes). The two words (Vres and Mou) should be in two cartoon-like bubbles coming out of the two cows.
The two cows should be looking at each other like they are in love, and the bubbles can be linked together in a way that they form a heart.
The rest of the website design will consist of three primary colors:
- pastel blue (upper part, represents the sky)
- white (main part)
- green (lower part, represents the grass where the cows walk)
So, we envisage the logo to make some use of pink (something to attract the female population and at the same time compliment the blue and the white background in our upper and main parts) but please feel free to experiment with colors!
Of course we are open to other suggestions and recommendations coming from you - the most experienced designers!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

NL DIVISION SERIES: BREWERS v PHILLIES
October 1, 2008
Cole Hamels
Charlie Manuel
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Game One
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Charlie or Cole.
Q. Charlie, are you kind of surprised that we're in a hitter's ballpark in a pitching dual and defense broke out?
CHARLIE MANUEL: No, because a lot of times in post-season it's a lot about pitching. The pitchers, they're really bearing down and they're focused and they're concentrating on what they want to do. That's what happens sometimes. Hitters, they might be a little tight and anxious. And they don't put the runs across the board they usually can do at times.
Q. Cole, given the stakes, was that the best pitching performance of your young career?
COLE HAMELS: Yes and no. Just where we were I knew the importance of the game, and it's something where because of last year, I learned what it really takes in trying to be -- kind of mellow out, not have that sort of excitement where you can't really control everything. And that was something where just going out there and relaxing and just being able to pitch and throw strikes.
I think with the type of team that Milwaukee brings, they're very aggressive but also very good. And so I just had to really establish the first pitch strike just so I can get ahead of them and slow them down. And that's what I was able to do and have success at it.
Q. You obviously are a fine pitcher, pitched a great game. You might have already answered my question, but because it was the playoffs and because of what happened last year, you had some kind of an adrenalin rush that was kicking in at that point?
COLE HAMELS: No, I'm still waiting for that adrenalin rush. (Laughter) no. Sorry. Maybe it's kicking in right now. (Laughter) no, it's just being able to, I guess, relax. I think that's something where a lot of guys, the hitters have it too. It's the excitement rush and the adrenalin goes. You have to calm it down and try to take a step backwards. And I think that's what I was able to do and just take advantage of the excitement and the aggressiveness that the other team had.
Q. Charlie, can you talk about Brad Lidge, and can you also take us through the decision to pitch to Prince Fielder?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Basically, Brad, what happened, he got ahead of Durham, and then felt like he tried to sneak a fastball by him. Durham got a hit. And after that he threw some pitches and got ahead of the other hitters but seemed like he walked right back into an even count or he got behind. And he got in a position where he was half, he had to throw the ball over the plate.
And what happened on Fielder was, the reason we decided to pitch to him, he can tie the game up. He's not the winning run. And any time that you go and put the winning run on base in our ballpark here, especially with their lineup, like they're fifth and sixth hole hitters can hit the ball out of too. He can tie it up, but he can't win it for them there.
And I also liked one of the big things about Lidge, I say it all the time, his talent prevails at times. And it has most of the year. And when he -- he can strike people out. That's one of his big pluses. That's what a big closer is good at. He can get in jams but at the same time he can wiggle out because he can strike people out.
Q. Charlie, any thought with as well as Cole is pitching and the rhythm he was in to just let him finish up the game?
CHARLIE MANUEL: It crossed my mind, and I looked at it, what did he have 101, -2 pitches. He pitched a lot this year. We've got that guy down there. That's why he's standing down there for. That's his job, too. And he's been perfect. I mean, but also another thing, too, is the top of their order is all right-handed, and Lidge is -- what he gets is right-handers out at about 170 clip. So he kind of had the inning, like when it started. Of course they pinch hit Durham, but at the same time the inning was pretty much set up for him.
Q. So Cole wasn't tired or anything, could have gone out and pitched if you needed him?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Dubee was the one that talked to Cole. At the same time, like I said, I felt like that's what Lidge is doing down there. Like we definitely want to use Cole again and everything.
Q. Cole, to follow up on that, did you want to pitch the 9th inning?
COLE HAMELS: No, the last time I did that I gave up a two-run home run to Fielder. (Laughter). No, I have all the confidence in the world in Lidge. I knew it was something where I knew if I could get through the 8th, I knew Lidge could seal the deal. That's something where I wanted to get him a save and I know he wanted to get me a win, and we were able to do that.
CHARLIE MANUEL: Also Howard, when we were standing there, Dubee and I were talking and he made a statement to me, he says, if somebody gets on, are you going to get him? And I go, more than likely yeah. And then I thought, well, then why not let Lidge start the inning if I was going to do that. So that's kind of what happened.
Q. Charlie, are you concerned about Brad Lidge in the sense that last Saturday's game he had kind of an adventurous inning in the Nationals and tonight he had a 35-pitch outing? Are you concerned about his endurance at this point?
CHARLIE MANUEL: I get concerned but at the same time so far this year a lot of times when he'll have one of those outings, or two of them, and he's gotten through and all of a sudden like his next couple will be really good. So like it's kind of -- but I said his talent prevails. He's a strikeout pitcher, and he stays there and gets it done.
One of these days, yeah, he'll lose a game, probably. But at the same time he might go a long time before he does. Just a matter of we'll see.
Q. Cole, going back to you how you approached the game. Looked like you had a good changeup. Can you talk a little bit about that and what it feels like? When did it kick in that you knew you had the stuff and what's your frame of thought as you're in that kind of a groove?
COLE HAMELS: You know, obviously my bullpen didn't show anything. Sometimes I do have rough bullpens before games. It makes you focus a little bit more. I didn't have the best bullpen before the game. But that's where I really had to bear down. And I think to really establish or know that I have a good changeup is when the hitters take swings at it. I was a little bit aggressive in the beginning but yet they were still missing it.
That was something where I guess it was good in my case because some guys, normally when you're throwing on a more firm changeup, guys would be blooping hits here and there off me.
So I was still able to get guys to swing and miss. I know as the game went on, as the more tired I got my changeup just gets better. That's something where I've learned that from Jamie (Moyer). But I've also learned it from experiencing it myself. That's just something where it's nice to, I guess, have.
And with the swings that they were taking on it, I knew it wasn't going to, I guess, change anything.
Q. Charlie or Cole, last year you guys didn't even lead for many innings at all in the playoffs. Can you talk about how big it is to get a lead early and come away with a win in this first game?
CHARLIE MANUEL: It was big for us to like score the three runs and get out on top. And with the way Cole was pitching, he definitely did a heck of a job holding them. And he didn't give up nothing.
But I think that he was a big reason that we won the game today. Like I know we had to score to win, but when the game started -- I made a statement to somebody before the game started, I said, if Cole is throwing, the game starts and he's throwing strikes low with his fastball and his changeup and his breaking ball, he'll pitch good.
And he only hit one stretch today where -- I'm trying to think of the inning where he walked a guy. He got up with his fastball. Then he got right back in his rhythm and he started getting the ball back down, his changeup and his fastball.
And he did a heck of a job. And I'll tell you something, it's definitely one of his better outings. And he was tremendous.
Q. Cole, follow-up to that question. After what happened last year, did you think psychologically about how important it was to win this first game?
COLE HAMELS: You know, I had the understanding of what it is when you do win the first game, the momentum that it, I guess, causes and especially at home. It's just the excitement level and just the feeling that you can get.
And so going into today, I tried to be as relaxed as I possibly could. Yet, I still wanted to go out there and win just because I knew what it would do for our team. And I think that's something where, from the very first pitch in the 1st inning, I gave that confidence in our players.
When we scored those runs, I think they did have the confidence I wasn't going to allow any more runs. That's something where it's good to have that and the team is still able to battle through. But I think tonight definitely I think we'll think about it a little more because even though we won the first one we still have to go out there and win the next couple.
Hopefully you ride out, I guess, the emotions and everything that we have especially still being at home.
Q. Cole, the weather changed drastically there in the second inning. How did you -- obviously didn't cause you any problems, but how did you deal with that?
COLE HAMELS: I tried to get out as fast as I could. I'm not really used to dealing with rain, pitching-wise. But I've seen it enough. And I understand that you really have to still throw low in the zone, because when the guys put the balls in play, that's when mistakes can happen, just from having it slip and it taking a bad bounce.
I knew if I still kept it down in the zone either it would be a grounder or I was still able to keep the hitters off balance where I could still strike them out. I think I was still successful in doing that.
Q. Charlie, can you talk about the offense today? Because you went quite a few innings without so much as a hit.
CHARLIE MANUEL: Early for two innings we hit about three or four balls hard right at people. Utley's hit, of course, was big. And the fact that we took advantage of a break when Cole bunted to Braun and we got a break when they didn't execute. And, like you said, we didn't really what we call hit the ball.
I give credit to their pitchers. Plus, like we might have been trying a little bit too hard but at the same time their pitchers did a good job, and I look at it this way: Like we hit just good enough to win the game. So tomorrow we might get after big C.C. (Laughter).

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) — As of Wednesday morning, the search for Captain of the HMS Bounty replica ship, Robin Walbridge, had not been found after Hurricane Sandy got the best of the vessel.
The replica tall ship caught in Hurricane Sandy's wrath began taking on water, forcing the crew to abandon the boat Monday in rough seas off the North Carolina coast. The Coast Guard rescued 14 crew members by helicopter. According to the Portland Press Herald, the body of crew member Claudene Christian, 42, was recovered Monday evening, but the captain is still missing.
Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Brandyn Hill said Wednesday morning that a cutter searched for Robin Walbridge overnight and two C-130 planes would join the search during the day.
The HMS Bounty has visited Portsmouth, N.H. several times for the Sail Portsmouth event and is most well known as being the "Pirates of the Caribbean II" ship.
Most recently, the Bounty visited Eastport, Belfast and Castine, Maine, this summer before docking at the Boothbay Harbor Shipyard for a month of minor repairs, according to the ship's website.
The ship was well known at the shipyard, where it was sent many times over the years for maintenance, including several months in 2006 and 2007, when it got a $2 million overhaul, the Portland Press Herald reports.
Coast Guard rescue swimmer Randy Haba helped pluck several crew members off a 25-foot rubber life raft. He was also lowered to a crew member floating in the water alone. He wrapped a strap around his body, and raised him to the chopper.
"It's one of the biggest seas I've ever been in. It was huge out there," Haba said.
Two crew members of the HMS Bounty were adrift wearing survival suits designed to help keep them afloat and protected from cold waters for up to 15 hours, but so far the Coast Guard hasn't seen any sign of them.
The HMS Bounty, which has been featured in Hollywood films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," left Connecticut last week, en route to St. Petersburg, Fla.
"They were staying in constant contact with the National Hurricane Center," said Tracie Simonin, the director of the HMS Bounty Organization. "They were trying to make it around the storm."
The Coast Guard received a distress call late Sunday from the 180-foot, three-mast ship. At about 8 a.m., a helicopter had located the sinking ship, its masts partly underwater and most of the crew, who had gotten into 25-foot rubber life rafts.
Amid winds of 40 mph and 18-foot seas, rescuers were able to save most of the crew from the life boats about 90 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Brandyn Hill said.
Those rescued were taken to Elizabeth City. Most of the crew were in their 30s, although one man appeared to be in his 70s, Coast Guard officials said.
The mother of one of the crew members said she had talked to her daughter after the rescue. Mary Ellen Sprague said her 20-year-old daughter Anna Sprague had been aboard the HMS Bounty since May. The ship had traveled to London, then to St. Petersburg, Fla., and was going to spend the winter in Galveston, Texas.
"She was probably the youngest member of the crew," Mary Ellen Sprague said.
She said she hadn't learned many details yet because her daughter, normally talkative and outgoing, was being uncharacteristically quiet.
She's very upset because the ship's captain and another crew member are still missing, Sprague said from her home in Savannah, Ga.
The ship left Connecticut on Thursday when Sandy was over Cuba, and its path and effect on the East Coast was still somewhat uncertain. Sandy was then forecast to be several hundred miles off the Carolinas coast.
Days before it sank, the vessel had rerouted to avoid the brunt of Sandy. However, a statement on its website acknowledged, "this will be a tough voyage for Bounty," the Tampa Bay Times reported.
The ship was built for the 1962 film "Mutiny on the Bounty," which starred Marlon Brando, and has been featured in other movies.
The HMS Bounty has docked off and on over the years at The Pier in St. Petersburg, Fla., and was scheduled to eventually arrive there in November, said Carol Everson, general manager of The Pier.
"I know they were very much looking forward to being here," she said. "They were very excited about coming down."
The Bounty's captain, Robin Walbridge, was from St. Petersburg, she said.
She and other employees of The Pier were closely following the story.
"It's devastating," she said. "Obviously you want all of the crew to be safe. It's a shame that the vessel has gone down because it's a tremendous piece of history and a great piece of history for St. Petersburg."
Wallbridge learned to sail at age 10, according to his biography on the Bounty's website. Before the Bounty, he served as first mate on the H.M.S. Rose — the Bounty's sister ship.
The ship was permanently docked in St. Petersburg for many decades. In 1986, it was bought by Ted Turner, and in 2001, it was purchased by its current owner, a New York businessman named Robert Hansen.
About 10 years ago, the ship underwent a multimillion dollar restoration.
In recent years, the ship has wintered in Puerto Rico and travels in the spring and summer. In August, large crowds greeted the ship when it sailed into St. Augustine, Fla., Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S.C.
Associated Press writers Bruce Smith in Charleston, S.C.; Tamara Lush in St. Petersburg, Fla., and Greg Schreier in Atlanta contributed to this report. The Portland Press Herald contributed to this report. Foster's Daily Democrat news staff contributed to this report.
One dead, captain missing from crew of HMS Bounty

The results of the independent peer review of FWS's proposed rule to remove the gray wolf from the list of threatened and endangered wildlife are in, and reviewers unanimously agreed that FWS did not use the best available science in its decision to delist wolves. Below are just a few of the critiques provided by the reviewers:
-Science used by FWS contains significant interpretation errors, key omissions, and a selective use of evidence.
-FWS got the taxonomy and range of wolves all wrong: gray wolves may have lived in the Northeast, wolves of the Pacific Northwest are likely distinct from other populations, and Mexican gray wolves historically had a much larger range than FWS claimed.
In response to questions on the gray wolf delisting you once said "It's about science and you do what the science says". Clearly, the best available science does not provide a basis for saying that wolves need to be delisted. You now have an opportunity to follow through on your stated principles and those set in the Endangered Species Act, to follow the best available science, wherever it might lead, and to maintain protections for gray wolves until they are fully recovered. We urge you to rescind this proposed rule and allow gray wolves the protection they need to fully recover. Thank you for your consideration.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to remove Endangered Species Act protection for most gray wolves across the United States. This decision could forever change the future of gray wolf conservation in our country.
Gray wolf recovery in the U.S. is not complete. These wolves face rabid anti-wolf politics, aggressive lethal control, unsustainable hunting, intolerance and other threats across the entire country, and haven't yet returned to suitable habitat in many parts of their historic range. By delisting them now, USFWS would be turning their backs on one of the best wildlife conservation stories in U.S. history before it's finished.
Please send an urgent message to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service – demand that they withdraw their delisting proposal.

"The lone Syrian rebel group with an explicit stamp of approval from Al Qaeda has become one of the uprising's most effective fighting forces, posing a stark challenge to the United States and other countries that want to support the rebels but not Islamic extremists." – The CIA Times, "Syrian Rebels Tied to Al Qaeda Play Key Role in War," December 8, 2012.
"Americans are learning more about the latest piece of major folly the United States has stumbled into in the Middle East, providing arms indirectly to Islamic extremists, considered to be our most important foe, in Libya and Syria.
It almost certainly wasn't done deliberately, but what occurred was that some in the administration of President Barack Obama wanted to provide military aid to the rebels against the regime of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya and, subsequently, to Syrians fighting against the government of President Bashar al-Assad." – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "Mideast folly: U.S. arms find their way to Islamic extremists," December 7, 2012.
After denying the reality that the U.S. government is shipping arms, money, and foreign fighters with a Jihadist and sectarian worldview into Syria, the U.S. media is finally admitting the obvious to the American people. Numerous articles in American papers point to the growing visibility of Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria, but they are only telling half-truths about the radical policies of the White House and the CIA.
The first half-truth is that the arming of radical Jihadist terrorists is not U.S. policy, but the accidental byproduct of outsourcing the war against Syria to the Gulf monarchies. We're supposed to believe that the CIA was unaware that this would happen after their experience in Afghanistan and Libya.
The truth is that the CIA is deliberately funding and arming Jihadist terrorists to destabilize Syria and change its regime. Regime change in Syria has been a U.S. aim since the false flag September 11 events, and going back further, since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
General Wesley Clark has said in numerous interviews and lectures that the neocons put Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Lebanon, and Iran in their sights before 9/11 happened. So none of this is about supporting democracy and overthrowing a dictator who is killing his own people.
Syrians are not fighting their government, and Assad is not killing his own people.
The picture the morally bankrupt mainstream media wants to paint is that Jihadist elements are scattered in an otherwise noble, pure, and freedom-driven Syrian rebellion. They are saying that Washington wants to help the rebels but not the Islamic extremists. But there is no such thing as the "Syrian rebellion" divorced from Islamic extremists.
The Syrian "rebels" are the foreign-backed Jihadist terrorists. So to support the rebels means to support the Jihadist terrorists. Al-Qaeda = Syrian rebels.
The other half-truth is that Washington is a reluctant player in the aggressive war against Syria. The media is saying President Obama is not interested in starting another war in the Middle East. But after Libya who believes this bullshit?
The truth is that Washington is leading from behind on Syria because it is too cowardly to risk its own troops to secure its dream of destroying Syria's government. So it is relying on Jihadist terrorists to do its dirty work, which involves intimidating Syrian cities with desperate terror tactics, beheading critics, brainwashing children, targeting religious and ethnic minorities, and blowing up Syria's government and civilian infrastructure.
As Webster Tarpley said in this interview, the U.S.-backed Jihadist terrorists are cannon fodder. Jihadists from all around the world, including many European countries, are risking their lives to help the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Israel gain control over Syria. Their stupidity and ignorance is being exploited by the CIA and its partners in crime.
The leaders of the Jihadist terror groups know perfectly well what they're doing and who they're doing it for. One of them told the CIA Timesback in October, "We use means only used by the devil."

Kristian Levring, who conjured the Dogma 95 manifesto with fellow Danes Lars Von Trier ("The Idiots"), Thomas Vinterberg ("The Celebration") and Sorn Kragh-Jacobson ("Mifune"), gives the movement its most visually striking entry to date with "The King Is Alive," the fourth title to merit Dogma certification. (Although Jean-Marc Barr's "Lovers" preemed a year ago, it's Dogma 5.) English-lingo account of stranded bus passengers who cope with their anxiety by staging "King Lear" in a ghost town in the Namibian desert is simultaneously gritty and cerebral. Despite the highest profile cast of any Dogma production to date, pic may be the least accessible to general auds. For although "King" supplies sex and nasty revelations in an exotic yet forlorn setting, it also devotes a good chunk of screen time to rehearsing the play in the blazing sun, with mixed results.
Pic gets under way aboard a bus transporting 11 tourists (Brits, Yanks and one Frenchwoman) and driven by a black African (Vusi Kunene) who is relying on his dashboard compass to indicate the way. By the time they discover the compass is broken, they've gone a good 500 miles off course, running out of fuel just as they hit a motley conglomeration of barracks — all that remains of a former mine.
Although voiceover in an African tongue would appear to violate the Dogma regulations, events are nominally narrated by elderly Kanana (Peter Kubheka), the lone resident to stay on after the mine was closed. Take-charge guy Jack (South African thesp Miles Anderson), the only passenger who can communicate with Kanana, discovers that the nearest settlement is several days away across looming and treacherous sand dunes. Jack decides to leave the others and go for help, estimating that the trip will take him five days.
At first the stranded refuse to face the seriousness of their plight, but Henry (David Bradley), a London-born actor based in L.A., predicts they will soon be reduced to clawing for a drop of water or a lone carrot from the supply of canned food.
Ray (Bruce Davison) and his wife, Liz (Janet McTeer), bicker; French intellectual Catherine (Romane Bohringer) keeps her distance; proud senior citizen Charles (David Calder) makes a peculiar deal to have sex with always bored Gina (Jennifer Jason Leigh); Southern gentleman Ashley (the late Brion James) gets the DTs; and Charles' son, Paul (Chris Walker), and his wife, Amanda (Lia Williams), have a bumpy time.
Jack fails to return, and things go from bad to worse, with characters offering mostly unkind and unsolicited insights into their fellow strandees. The passengers begin to put together a version of Shakespeare's "King Lear" to take their minds off their dilemma.
As the desert performance of "King Lear" takes shape — as best they can reconstruct it from memory — Kanana looks on nonplused. (In a nice touch, Kanana's p.o.v. is always out of focus, indicating he must be nearsighted.) But is a great play enough to sustain hot, hungry, thirsty people with no particular affinity for one another and slim prospects for rescue?
Viewers truly feel stranded with the passengers in a striking, incredibly eerie locale (the abandoned diamond mining town of Kolmanskop, Namibia) surrounded by magnificent, if deadly, sand dunes. Levring — who became a commercials director after his 1986 feature debut, "Shot From the Heart" (which also used dunes as a backdrop) — establishes a potent sense of place and keeps relationships off-kilter. But pic lags in the middle, growing more interesting — if hardly more original — only as the situation deteriorates.
Digital transfer to film is top-notch, with only a few shots of daylight movement betraying their video origins.

From my 2008 piece.:
It started with Alan Rust casually saying to his friend Julie Harris, "I was going to ask you if you'd like to do 'The Effect of Gamma Rays on the Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds,' but I didn't have the heart to ask you to play that old lady [in the play]."
The actress said, "I'd love to," which stunned and delighted Rust, who is artistic director of the Monomoy Theatre in Chatham, Mass., not far from where Harris lives on Cape Cod. He is also director of the theater division at the Hartt School of the University of Hartford.
What made the occasion special was the return to the stage of the 82-year-old actress, who made her Broadway debut in 1945 and starred in shows such as "Member of the Wedding," "The Lark," "I Am a Camera" and "The Belle of Amherst." She was nominated 10 times and received five Tony Awards, the most ever won by an actor - as well as a sixth for lifetime achievement. She also received the Kennedy Center Award in 2005.
Harris was nominated for an Oscar for her screen debut in 1952's "A Member of the Wedding" and starred in such films "East of Eden," "The Haunting" and "Reflections in a Golden Eye." She also won three Emmys. She played Lilimae Clements on TV's "Knot's Landing."
Seven years ago, the actress had a stroke. Since then, she has been in rehabilitation and regained many of her abilities.
Because her non-speaking part in the Monomoy production was modest and the show had a five-day run last week, Harris' appearance was low-key. Still, word got around and on opening night, there were so many flowers from Harris' many friends and admirers from around the country that they had to be relocated to a separate room to let the cast move about backstage.
"Francesca [James, the play's director] said she'd rather be onstage than breathe, so I wasn't surprised she did it," says Rust.
The Monomoy production starred Nora Chester as the abusive mother who has an elderly and infirm boarder played by Harris, whose character knows what is going on just by the language of her eyes and body. Harris also evoked a big laugh from the audience with a simple bit of business using her spoon as a comb. (The abusive mother role was played in the 1972 film version by Joanne Woodward, directed by her husband, Paul Newman, and featuring their daughter Nell Potts. Judith Lowry played the boarder on stage and in the film.)
Also featured in the Momomoy production were students from Ohio University: Emily Ryan, Katie Skelton and Shiloh Morgenstern. (The 51-year-old Monomoy is the summer home of the Ohio University Players, and also features students from Hartt and North Carolina School of the Arts.)
"She's probably the greatest of all the American stage actresses that we still have and to have her share her talent with these students is overwhelming.," says Rust. "It was breathtaking to watch her work with them. Every moment was like a lesson."
Will Harris return to the stage in another project?
"I haven't any idea," says Rust. "I did say to her, 'I'll now think of something else for you' - and she smiled at me."

Plus clothing has come a long way, and there are an increasing number of brands devoted to providing gorgeous items in larger sizes. The only problem is that plus size clothing still costs more than regular clothing, so fuller-figured women have a much harder time not only finding clothing in general, but also finding that clothing at affordable prices. With thredUP, that's no longer a concern. In fact, you can uncover the brands you love and labels you've never worn before, all at a deep discount.
Threads for the Day-to-Day
You want to look fabulous every day, whether you're putting together a casual ensemble or something office-ready. Torrid is a fabulous brand for trendy yet stylish pieces that still have plenty of edge. Look for plus jeans, as well as sexy tops, adorable cardigans, and even blazers. Choose between unique, signature pieces that show off your wild side and neutral classics that stay in style.
Looking for more polished pieces with a professional vibe? For plus pants, skirts, suit coats, and timeless tops, brands like Fashion Bug will take you far. Outfit yourself for the office, an internship, or to suit your personal style. Stock up on pencil skirts, tank tops, camisoles that are perfect for layering, and cozy cardigan sweaters or blazers.
Warm Weather Wear for Curves
Warm weather clothing for plus size women is sometimes hard to find. At the very least, it's often difficult to find pieces that fit well and flatter your figure. Shorts, lightweight shirts, tank tops, swimsuits – now it's easy to find the pieces you need to stay breezy and cool in the summer.
Have you often bemoaned the lack of plus size swimwear that you can actually afford? Swimsuits, in particular, cost more in larger sizes. Instead of dropping your whole summer budget on a bathing suit, check out this insane selection. From two-piece tankinis to gorgeous retro-inspired one-pieces, you'll definitely walk away with the swimsuit of your dreams.
Fierce Formal Clothing
Need a killer dress for an upcoming occasion? From school dances to work-sponsored holiday parties, you'll find a fabulous frock for any event. Make sure to pick out something that flatters your curves. A little black dress is a timeless pick, but you can explore colorful plus dresses and dazzling prints, as well. The Lane Bryant label is chock full of sparkling, glamorous, figure-flattering pieces, or perhaps you'll fall in love with another brand.
Maybe you prefer casual dresses. You're spoiled for choice there, as well. Browse for long, flowing maxi dresses that can make you feel taller. Go with a midi-length hem to rock a retro vibe for the day. Roomy sundresses are ideal in warm weather or for vacation. Fitted, tailored pieces are perfect for the office.
Inject some fresh style into your wardrobe no matter your size. Stop worrying about the cost and wild out with your shopping cart. After all, thredUP makes it easy – where else can you find your favorite plus size labels for up to 90% off the retail cost?
