Now, if you'll bear with us, we're having a very necessary fundraiser; please help TPC continue to do what we do:
If we are one thing here at TPC, it's being up front. We need to raise funds so we don't have to worry about expenses for the next three months, both for site upkeep and our own mounting bills.
You can donate at any time by using the PayPal donate buttons in the sidebar (now with requested WePay!), or if you need a snail mail addy, feel free to email firstname.lastname@example.com.
In addition, if anyone wants to sponsor us for three months with an ad in the sidebar, please email Paddy. Since it's an election year, any ad will be getting increased views.
BONUS! We're doing something special this time around and giving away three of our brand spankin' new TPC t-shirts to random donors! We'll draw names out of the proverbial hat and let you know once the fundraiser is over. (You can't even buy these yet.)
So, to be the first IN THE WORLD to sport your Political Carnival t-shirt, drop a little coinage in the kitty!
Remember, without donations, we have no Political Carnival. We have no way to fight for you, for our principles, or just to make you laugh from time to time.
Please never forget that we truly appreciate you guys with or without the donations. Every single day.
We love doing what we do, and your help is always appreciated. You can make a donation through the PayPal button to the right to help us out or choose to make a monthly donation, and if you are thinking of buying anything from Amazon, just using one of our links gets us a couple pennies a transaction.

Jarhead from Idaho
Hello GM Truck Club,
I'm a United States Marine and currently the proud owner of a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71. I grew up on Mopar, but I have to say ever since buying this truck I've become quite pleased with GM. Unfortunately, my love of GM didn't start out with my first GM truck.
My first experience was buying a used 1997 Chevrolet S-10 from the worst kind of truck owner. A guy who thinks he knows everything about working on vehicle, but in actuallity knows next to nothing. I'll be the first to admit that I am not a mechanic, but I'm pretty good at figuring out how things work. When I bought the truck I took it to a mechanic who said it'd be a good A to B pickup and that there were no major problems, but he would soon be proven wrong. I'm going off on a tangent so if you want to skip to the next paragraph I understand. The first issue was that the left rear break light wouldn't work, I assumed it was a burned out bulb, as it turns out the previous owner had taken a blade and cut every single wire to the rear lights and then randomly taped them back together until some of them worked. He didn't have enough wire left over to attach it to a proper ground so he used a pair of vice grips and clamped the ground to the frame. When I bought truck the fuel gauge wasn't working, he said he had replaced it before and that it went out about every year along with the pump. When I finally got the time to check out the pump I noticed that on his previous attempt to fix the fuel pump he had completely shorted out the fuel gauge. I assume what happened was when he had replaced the fuel pump and was putting the fuel tank back in place the wiring harness got in between where the fuel tank strap attaches to the frame of the truck and had been crimped when he tightened the bolts for the strap. It was a miracle the fuel pump even worked anymore. Next the heater core went bad, in all my years of owning vehicles and working on cars I have never seen a radiator as filthy and rusted as this one. I washed it out no less than 10 times in the span of 1 month. I replaced the thermostat and used anti-rust flush and the water would still turn a sludgy rust orange. The last thing to go was the clutch, after driving I began to notice a grinding when I would let the clutch out after shifting into 2nd. Rather than fix this as well I took the truck straight to a used car lot and said I wanted a new truck.
My next exprience was driving Chevy Love pickups over in Iraq. While on a FOB (base) we would typically not drive tactical vehicles such as the Humvee (HMMWV) or MRAP unless you were a grunt, which I wasn't. Instead we would drive government contract vehicles such as the Chevy Love. It was interesting driving a vehicle with a KPH speedometer, they were gutless vehicles and had a governor that wouldn't let you drive over 120 kph (75mph). Ultimately they were very reliable especialyl considering all the sand and dirt they had to operate in.
Most recently, I bought my GMC Sierra and instantly fell in love. Unfortunately, we had a rocky start. Shortly after purchasing the truck I began to notice a loud scraping noise from the rear end, but only when I left off the gas. I took the vehicle in and the mechanic said the rear end was shot. I know what you're thinking "I suck at picking out vehicles". But I took this truck and got it checked out by a different mechanic who said it was good to go. I think I just have bad luck, in any case I took it to the dealer who said they would fix it at no cost to me which I thought was awesome since the state of Idaho doesn't have a lemon law. The guys at Sunset Motors really took care of me and I would recommend them to anyone shopping for a used vehicle in Boise, Idaho.
After that fiasco with the rear end the truck has been perfect and it is a joy to drive. I look forward to many years of fun-filled driving.

Method of retriving images and URL from affiliate site?
Greetings to all,
Hopefully I have posted this thread in correct section. I am new to PHP but I am learning, slow and steady in my own pace.
I am running a couple of small sites which are build upon PHP and mysql and the other day I signed up to become an affiliate.
Since this is all new to me, I have even problems to read and search for correct books since I dont know the terminilogy of what I am trying to
Since the affiliate I was approved for dont have any api of any kind - how can I get their products to display on my page?
Like itemname, itemdescription, itemimage, and itemURL?
I later on will have to cloak links (but this is a later problem I have to solve)
I somehow need to fetch all the URLs from affiliate site, then crawl site (with urls from previous step) to fetch appropiate data.
I need to store link, itemname, itemdescription, itemimage and price.
How can I achive this?
I dont want you to help me write this stuff, just what tools I need to achive what I want.
Basicly I would achive something like amazon affiliate where you show their products on your page and earn comission on sales.
However this is not amazon and they dont have any api of any kind.
Need help and some guidance!
Cheers to all

Runner takes on Boston and Chicago marathons again, this time for a cause
Evanston resident Kevin Valentine, 55, ran the Boston Marathon for the fourth time in April, enjoying the beautiful weather while maintaining a moderate pace because of a sore leg from running downhill through the route.
After he finished, it took about 25 minutes to get some water, his participant medal and claim the items he'd checked before the run. Then he heard an explosion at the finish line.
"I was straight down the street, about three blocks away," he related. "No one knew if it was a gas main or a bomb or what was going on for a long time, about 30 minutes or so. They just cleared out the area."
Valentine had already gotten his bag, which contained his cellphone. All lines were busy, but he was able to text his wife, Mary, who was on a train that was stopped and ultimately evacuated. She had to use a map to find an open subway stop and get to their hotel.
Meanwhile, Valentine was passing other runners who hadn't claimed their belongings, water or blankets after the race. The marathon's finish line medical tents were overwhelmed treating victims of the bombing, but the National Guard set up additional tents for runners who just needed to recover from the run.
"People were walking around dazed," he said. "They were just wandering the streets for a while."
About an hour and a half passed before Valentine and his wife reunited. The couple had planned to fly out that night, but because the airport was closed, they went to a friend's apartment and watched the news. Valentine said he didn't realize the full personal impact of the event until later.
"The shock came more slowly as time went on," he said. "Reading experiences in Runner's World about people who were injured and were helping the injured, you realize how close you really were."
An artist and social justice activist, Valentine is behind Widowsweave, a project meant to raise awareness for the estimated three million widows of Iraqis killed during the last 30 years of conflict in the country. So far, his efforts have centered on a performance art series in which he and others draw lines in the sand or with chalk that form pictures, grids or messages.
This year he has decided to incorporate his passion for running into the project. He has pledged to run 3,000 kilometers (3 million meters, one for each Iraqi widow) between May 1, 2013, and May 1, 2014, to mark the anniversary of President George W. Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech.
He's almost a third of the way there and plans to run the 2013 Bank of America Chicago Marathon this year and Boston next — for a combined 84.39 kilometers. Valentine believes everyone in the 2014 Boston Marathon will be running with a purpose.
"I know everyone's looking forward to Boston next year just to make a statement that we're not going to let what happened in Boston take away from the joy of running," he said.
Valentine has run 17 marathons, and this will be his 10th time running in Chicago. He didn't get started until he was in his 40s, running a couple miles a day with a friend and gradually increasing the distance. He advises new runners to focus on endurance rather than speed.
"The time doesn't matter. You can always get a better time next time," he said. "Everyone's a winner. No one's looked at as 'you came in last, so you're not as good.' Even trying is an affirmation."

Theres no reason to speculate about various aspects of the African culture with the opening of Mr. Boniface Wewes African Artistic Ventures. From educational videos of entertaining and informational simulations with the translation of various African words to various books on African daily life and tales, African Artistic Ventures has it all. Mr. Wewe, an author of three books and a producer of four videos, even does storytelling and speaking engagements appropriate for various ages. The video garnered rave reviews from Video Librarian mag 5a8 azine. Titles include: Akwaaba...Welcome To Alphabetic Africa
Pay The Dowry/Cameroon-The Africa in Miniature,
African Ceremonies: The Zulu Royal Reed Dance
African Courtesies:The Ngonyama (Lion)
Mr. Wewes Atungsiris Ghost and Other Tales is a 48-page book that lives up to its back cover, which describes the book as 'a collection of six campfire tales passed from deep within the heart for rural Africa. The voice of the storyteller is authentic, so that readers /listeners feel the power of prose. These are contemporary tales, so they convey much about rural life in modern Africa, its customs and traditions, its values and the rhythms of living on the land. I plan to use this book the next time I teach a class in folklore," stated Alida Allison, English & Comparative Literature Professor at San Diego State University.
The humor title The Joys of African Sex, Jokes, Courtesies and Idiosyncracies" released in November 2004 earned a star review from Kirkus Review.
Mr. Wewe is also supervising librarian and works with Young Adults at the Brooklyn Public Library. He obtained is Masters degree on a Fulbright Scholarship from The University of Pittsburgh in 1991. He is also a winner of the 2003 New York Times Librarian Award for outstanding community service.

Wood throws off mound
Right-hander tosses 10 pitches, will be re-evaluated daily
MESA, Ariz. -- Kerry Wood, sidelined with a bruise after falling out of a hot tub, threw 10 pitches off a mound Saturday, and looked good, Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild said.
Wood had been expected to throw Monday, which would've been one week after the incident at his Phoenix area home. But Rothschild said the plan was to go day to day.
"He really looked good," Rothschild said of Wood, who bruised his chest in the fall. "It was only 10 pitches, but the fact that he's on his legs tells me that he feels good arm-wise. When the injury [with his right shoulder] started cropping up, he didn't use his legs at all because he didn't want to create arm speed and cause problems. You could tell he's done a lot of work with balance and really used his legs well. It was good to see."
Wood had undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery in late August 2005, and made four starts in 2006 before he was sidelined again with a partial tear in his right rotator cuff. On Saturday, he didn't throw full speed. Rothschild wanted to hold him back.
"I told him, 'Let's get on the mound and see how it feels and see how you react tomorrow so we know more,'" Rothschild said.
If Wood doesn't have any problems after Saturday's short session, he'll throw 25-30 pitches on the side.

Buffalo Rumblings reader 'J2' believes that the Buffalo Bills should make C.J. Spiller their feature back, reducing Fred Jackson to a complementary role. Do you agree or disagree, Bills fans?
Ed. Note: I had planned on writing this very article this week, but J2 beat me to the punch. I'm in full agreement: C.J. Spiller should be Buffalo's feature back, and the change should happen immediately. Nice work, J2! - BG
The Buffalo Bills cannot change a ton personnel wise right now. It's looking like Arthur Moats and Nigel Bradham will be swapping spots at strong-side linebacker, but I doubt that's going to do much in the production department of our football team. While Bradham is much more athletic, he's still a fourth-round rookie, and like the rest of our defense is going to take his lumps.
There is, however, a change that I've been contemplating since last year after Fred Jackson got hurt and kind of played it during the off-season at times, but I'm of the opinion that this team needs C.J. Spiller on the field as much as possible.
Running back duos might be able to work in the NFL. We've seen teams do it before - and we've seen Buffalo do it before against some teams - but runners tend to get better as the games wear on, and get into a groove against defenses. Buffalo's running backs haven't been able to do that.
With both Jackson and Spiller hurt and Chan Gailey saying they will rotate to keep them fresh and to try and keep the pounding off of them, one can understand that methodology. However, it seems that at this point in time that both of them should be healthier than they have been in the past month. With that, I think it's time to designate Spiller as the starting running back.
Jackson to me is much like George Wilson: athletically limited, but playmakers in their own right. The problem is that we need more than one or two plays a game. I'm glad we paid Jackson, but I think it should be more for services rendered than production going forward in the starting role.
Spiller changes the Bills and the opposing defense. When he gets a step, he gets 10 yards - it's that simple. His speed is fantastic, and he's the best running back we have on our roster. I'm not sure many would disagree. When he gets carries, it's clear who the best runner is on this team. Jackson has been hampered by his knee injury, but he's been underwhelming so far this year.
I know people around here have an affinity for Jackson because of his background and how he's played over the years, but this is a new year and Spiller clearly is the better back at this point. Buffalo needs to ride that horse and keep the team in attack mode, with him on the field and Jackson subbing in whenever Spiller needs a blow.
This won't solve the Bills' issues, but it's one change that has the chance to make a huge difference on this team. There is literally no other position that I can think of in which making a change would have as big of an impact on this football team.
It's time for Spiller to be the starting running back of the Buffalo Bills for the foreseeable future.

A former decorated Greenville County deputy was arrested on Wednesday following an internal investigation, according to Sheriff Steve Loftis.
Loftis held a press conference to discuss the county's efforts to solve several recent homicides and during the event, he discussed deputy 32-year-old Timothy Jackson's unrelated arrest.
Loftis said an internal investigation revealed Jackson began a physical relationship with a woman he met while investigating an unrelated criminal domestic violence case.
He said Jackson heard that the woman was a wanted felon, used his resources to confirm that info, but he did not arrest her as he is sworn to do. Instead, Loftis said he worked to get her charges dismissed and have relations with her.
"[Jackson] not only failed to arrest the female, but provided her with the reports containing evidence and statements against her in an effort to assist the female in having her charges dismissed," Loftis said.
He said Jackson's relationship with the woman had only lasted about three or four days before other deputies were alerted to it while searching for the wanted woman. Loftis did not say what she was wanted for.
When asked how he personally reacted to Jackson's misconduct, Loftis said he always had and always will hold law enforcement officers to a higher standard.
"They should know right from wrong, but when an incident this egregious is committed, I have no alternative except to do the right thing and that is to conduct the investigation and place charges against deputies where warranted," Loftis said.
"Is it disappointing? Absolutely," he continued. "I hope we never have to do this again, but I want to assure the community if our people are not doing exactly what they're supposed to and are violating the law just like any other criminal, they will be charged."
Jackson turned himself in on Wednesday on charges of misconduct in office and obstructing justice and is awaiting a bond hearing, Loftis said.
He said Jackson was fired on Dec. 28 but criminal charges were not filed until the internal investigation was completed and the solicitor's office thought they were warranted.
Jackson was awarded the Medal of Valor in December for his helping care for a wounded deputy in August. Jackson along with four other deputies were awarded the medal after he helped wrap and treat another deputy who was shot during a struggle with a suspect at the Red Roof Inn on Aug. 13.

Information from Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers
Jessica Baker – wanted for failing to show up in court after an arrest for burglary and grand theft of a firearm
Nehemiah Neal – a repeat juvenile offender who currently faces 11 warrants for his arrest in Lee County
Arturo Robles – a Collier man accused of attempting to murder a man who was parked in his own driveway
Timothy Westerman – a violent offender who's been booked into the jail 15 times before
We're starting off our list with a Lee County woman whose life has taken a nose dive into the criminal element, and is on the run - once again - on the heels of a burglary arrest. Jessica Baker was arrested just over a month ago for breaking into a Cape Coral home and stealing a gun, among other things. She was supposed to show up in court last Monday to answer those charges, but instead has decided to take the low road and go into hiding. Baker, who will turn 26 next Thursday, has a variety of criminal infractions under her belt already, including her first DUI at age 18, and her second just six months later, retail theft, dealing in stolen property and drug charges, among many others. Altogether, she's racked up 12 arrests and has earned the label of a registered convicted felon. Baker is 5'9" and has several tattoos including angel wings with pistols on her stomach and a tiger with two hearts and the name Aliyah Rae on her back. Upon her arrest, Baker will be held without bond.
And next up is a 17 year old felon who currently has 11 separate warrants for his arrest. Nehemiah Neal is wanted for failing to show up in court on charges of theft, burglary and dealing in stolen property. Despite his young age, Neal has already established himself as a well versed criminal, with his first felony arrest coming at age 14 – when he was jailed for charges of burglary and theft. Since that time he was arrested for 12 counts of burglary during five different arrests. Neal's rap sheet is also peppered with various other theft charges. Additionally, he's known to run with a rather rough crowd, including gang members, and definitely doesn't live up to his street name of "Little Saint," which he clearly is not. Neal was last known to be living in Lehigh and has a tattoo of a paw print under his left eye and the name Naomi on his neck.
Also evading arrest this afternoon is Arturo Robles, wanted on a bench warrant for Failure to Appear in court on charges of attempted second degree murder with a firearm. Investigators say the victim was sitting in a car, parked in a driveway on Hibiscus Avenue in East Naples. Robles approached the vehicle, fired a shot through the window, then fled the area. The victim suffered a gunshot wound to the neck, and was airlifted to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. Robles was arrested at work four days later, and spent a few weeks in jail, before posting $100,000 bond. But when his trial date came up on the calendar, Robles was nowhere to be found. Robles is 33 years old, 5'7" and could be working under the table in the construction industry.
And last, but certainly not least, is a man who's been placed on the radar of the US Marshals Fugitive Warrants Task Force. Timothy Westerman's latest malfunction is for violating his drug offender probation following an arrest for robbery. A documented criminal since the age of 17, Westerman has already been arrested 15 times in Lee County. Among his legal woes are arrests for burglary, robbery, theft, contempt, drugs and the battery of a 77 year old man, whom he was trying to steal a wallet from. Westerman now finds himself back in the pattern of running from the law and Crime Stoppers needs the public's help to track him down. This 33 year old fugitive is 6'0", 185 pounds and has a tattoo of a cross on his right arm. Upon his arrest, he will be held without bond in the Lee County Jail.
Anyone with information on these or other fugitives can call Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-TIPS. You can remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward.

Heritage leaves town with win as Bearcats drop third straight
Fri. September 27, 2013 at 11:17 p.m. | By John Domansky

A Hendersonville Bearcat defense that gave up 542 yards and 36-unanswered points led to a third-straight loss, this time a 36-21 defeat at the hands of the visiting Mountain Heritage Cougars, on Friday night at Dietz Field.
"We squandered a lot of opportunities. That is two weeks in a row for us. Our kids understood that it was going to be a high-scoring game. They could not stop us. But we could only put up 21 points," said Bearcat coach B.J. Laughter.
Things started out promising for the Bearcats (2-4, 0-1 Western Highlands Conference), as Cole Cleary (three TDs) connected with Derrik Doyle from 30 yards out on the third play of the game, to jump out to a quick 7-0 lead.
Following a 24-yard run by sophomore Terrold Gary, the Bearcat offense continued to roll on its next possession, with Cleary scoring on a 26-yard run around the right side to extend the lead to 14-0.
Then the wheels came off defensively for the Bearcats, as Issac Allen scored the first of the Cougars' (4-2, 1-0 WHC) five consecutive touchdowns from 8 yards out to cut the lead to 14-7.
"Mountain Heritage is a good program and Joey Robinson is a good coach. Their offensive line is well-drilled," said Laughter.
Midway into the third quarter, the Bearcats were threatening to get back into the game after Cleary scrambled 37 yards just short of the Cougars goal line.
A false start and a bobbled snap came before a Cleary interception at the Cougars 21-yard line that ended the Bearcats' threat.
"We did not take care of the ball and did not execute our offense. It is fixable stuff. But we have got to block, tackle and catch the ball," said Laughter.
Following a badly-hooked punt by the Cougars, Cleary busted lose from 38 yards out to cap the Bearcats' scoring.
Things do not get any easier for the Bearcats, as they travel to Madison next Friday night.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB)--Defense attorneys say a Southern Indiana man was not in his right mind when he stabbed his estranged wife to death in front of their two young children. That's why attorneys for Dale Bagshaw are still considering an insanity defense.
Bagshaw was back in court on Monday afternoon for another pretrial hearing. His murder trial is scheduled to start on Tuesday. Bagshaw's parents were also in court. The couple declined to be interviewed after court, however, his mother seemed to have a change of heart.
Mrs. Bagshaw looked at the camera and said, "I have something to say; my son is not a murderer."
"The family is upset you know simply because it's not in their mind...not Dale's character," says Perry McCall, Bagshaw's defense attorney.
Prosecutors say in November of 2011 Bagshaw stabbed his estranged wife, Kelly, to death. It happened at the Lafayette Square Apartments in Jeffersonville, after an argument over Kelly Bagshaw's cell phone.
"It was an on again off again relationship," says McCall. "That's why we are pursuing the voluntary manslaughter..there's an insanity defense out there also."
Meanwhile, whatever the case may be, jury selection is scheduled to start first thing Monday morning.
"After that's complete then the state will begin presenting it's evidence on the following day," says Jeremy Mull, Prosecutor.
But the defense is still not sure Bagshaw can get a fair trial in Clark County. McCall says,"You get jurors who indicate that they hear about things and they won't form an opinion or form an opinion but it, you know, what you tend to hear first about some event you tent to believe."
If convicted, Bagshaw faces up to 65 year in prison. The couples' two small children are now living with Kelly Bagshaw's sister.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
Curtis Williams, 46, was arrested Sunday, on charges of attempting to deal marijuana.
Police were dispatched following a 911 call reporting that two men were approaching bystanders at the Speedway gas station on Lincoln Street and attempting to sell them marijuana.
The caller reported that two men approached him and asked if he wanted to buy some "bud." When the caller declined, both men left on foot and crossed the street to McDonald's.
Officers stopped a car with a driver matching the description of one of the men, but released the driver when the other suspect was not present. Officers then arrived at McDonald's and observed two men matching the suspects' descriptions seated near the front of the store.
Williams was recognized by one of the officers from previous calls and was advised that he and his juvenile companion matched the description of the two males that were suspected of selling marijuana.
A police report states Williams denied selling marijuana.
Officers gained permission to perform pat downs on both individuals, but found no illegal substances; however, one of the officers looked under the bench where the suspects were seated and found a bag of marijuana hidden there.
Two witnesses stepped forward to confirm that Williams had attempted to sell them marijuana while they were waiting to purchase their food at the local restaurant.
Williams was arrested and transported to the Decatur County Jail where he was incarcerated.
He was later formally charged with attempted dealing of marijuana, a class "C" felony, and possession of marijuana, a class "A" misdemeanor.
The juvenile male was returned home to his parents after telling officers that he'd met Williams a few days ago and began hanging out with him. He admitted to seeing Williams ask several people if they wanted to buy "good weed" and pulling the substance from his pocket to show potential customers. He also stated that he did not witness Williams throwing the bag of marijuana under the bench.
While one of the officers returned to Speedway to secure video of the alleged interaction, another witness came forward to report that he was also asked if he wanted to buy marijuana while at McDonald's. When officers asked the witness to identify the man who'd made the offer, he stated that the male who was handcuffed and removed from the restaurant had asked the question. Williams was on the only person placed in handcuffs and removed from the property.
Williams remained incarcerated in the Decatur County Jail at press time Tuesday. No bond had yet been set for his release.

A homeless southwest suburban man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Monday after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting an elderly woman who had helped him find food and shelter.
Dennis Dodson, 36, pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual assault for the September 2011 attack in a vacant lot behind a Home Depot store in Orland Park, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
Dodson, who was living in the lot at the time of the attack, was sentenced to 30 years in prison by Judge John Hynes, a statement from prosecutors said.
On Sept. 22, 2011, the 83-year-old woman was walking home on a path behind the Home Depot when she met Dodson, and gave him $5, prosecutors said.
The victim then collected a few items, including crackers and went back to the lot, where she gave the items to Dodson, along with another $10, prosecutors said. She called local shelters, including her church, to find him shelter, but was told to call Orland Park police.
The next day she called police, then returned to the lot, where she found Dodson lying on the ground with several beer cans, according to prosecutors.
When she told him she had called police, Dodson because agitated, grabbed her by the shoulders and shoved her to the ground, prosecutors said. He began kissing her, put a hand over her mouth when she screamed, sexually assaulted her and then rode away on his bicycle.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Experience one of the most scenic drives on the East Coast of the United States during this memorable visit to Acadia National Park, the second-most visited park in the United States.
Boarding your coach at the pier, you will set-off on the drive to Acadia National Park, first passing through the quaint town of Bar Harbor to view some of the charming Victorian mansions built by America's rich and famous at the turn of the 20th century and then making a stop at the Hull's Cove Visitor Center. Upon arrival at Acadia National Park, you will proceed along the 27-mile Park Loop Road taking in spectacular coastal, mountain and forest views.
Next, you will travel along the ocean's edge, passing Sand Beach, Schooner Head Overlook, and the High Seas Estate, a beautiful mansion built by a wealthy gentleman whose wife perished on the Titanic before ever stepping foot in her dream home. At Thunder Hole, a short photo stop will be made where you can see the ocean swells converge against the granite cliffs to create a thunderous roar (If designated bus parking is not available, an alternate photo stop will be made in the park at the tour guide's discretion).
Continuing on, you will pass Otter Cliffs and the gulf of Maine with beautiful views of the off shore islands, as well as travel through pine wood forests and past the Jordon Pond House. A beautiful view of the Penobscot Mountains and Bubbles Hill awaits you at this location and with much of the land donated by John D. Rockefeller. You will also see the romantic stone-cut bridges and evidence of the elaborate carriage trails built by his family at the turn of the century. Home to over 50 species of mammals, keep your eyes peeled for moose, black bear and white tail deer as you make your way around the Park Loop Road.
Weather and traffic/crowd conditions permitting, there will be a photo stop from atop the 1,530-foot Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on North America's eastern seaboard. Here, you will have the opportunity to take in spectacular panoramic views and enjoy photo opportunities of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island. This wonderful vantage point allows you to see how glaciers have carved through the granite cliffs to form a breathtaking landscape of lush forest, lakes and valleys. In the event the weather prevents a stop here, a stop at Jordan Pond House or Sieur de Mont Spring will be substituted.
Following your this last stop, you will re-board your coach and transfer back to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes a moderate amount of walking, mainly at the guest's discretion. Most of the surfaces are paved and easily accessible; however, some areas are uneven and can be slippery when wet. A 50-100 yard walk, with approximately 20 steps, is required to view the sea cave at Thunder Hole and participants are cautioned to stay on the path, and not stray towards the rocky area. The tour is available to guests who utilize a wheelchai, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have a companion to assist them. Those guests with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of ability and stamina. Weather appropriate clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.

UPDATE: After we shared these photos from McDowell County on Facebook, other viewers reported seeing similar occurrences in Greenbrier and Wise counties.
Viewer Kay Griggs also submitted a photo of an object streaking across the sky taken around 4:30-5:00 p.m. on her way to Wise, Va.
DAVY (WVVA) - A WVVA viewer has shared with us photos taken on Sunday that appear to show objects falling from the sky -- on the same day a European research satellite was expected to hit Earth.
Rhonda Walker snapped the photos of a pair of objects falling to Earth around 1:30 p.m. at her home in Davy, McDowell County -- approximately eight miles from Welch.
Walker said the objects made no sound, and appeared to fall slowly, then speed up as the came closer to Earth.
Perhaps coincidentally, the Associated Press reported earlier Sunday that The European Space Agency expected one of its research satellites that ran out of fuel crash to Earth between 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. EST.
The ESA said their satellite was expected to crash into the ocean or polar regions.
Spokeswoman Jocelyne Landeau told that AP that the satellite would mostly disintegrate as it came down and "we will have only a few pieces which could be 90 kilograms at the most."
WVVA News cannot confirm that these two events are connected in any way.
The ESA is tracking the fall of their satellite at this link.
