Beer cans are a twentieth-century idea. Beer was sold in kegs or returnable bottles until 1934. The first patent for a can was issued to the American Can Company in September of that year; and Gotfried Kruger Brewing Company, Newark, New Jersey, was the first to use the can. Many beer cans were made in Europe and some of them are from the 19th century. The cone-top can was first made in 1935, the aluminum pop-top in 1962. Collectors should look for cans in good condition, with no dents or rust. Serious collectors prefer cans that have been opened from the bottom.

Davos 2013: A Thief Stealing Bells Is Not an Optimist
For the past five years, the participants to the Annual Meetings of the World Economic Forum (WEF) have gathered in Davos to discuss urgent global crises the world was facing: subprime lending, the credit crunch, banking, Greece, the euro zone's woes, and so on. Soul-searching about the political and economic status quo ensued. This year, with leadership transitions in the two largest economies completed, the euro zone no longer facing imminent break-up, and China growing at 7.8%, Davos resumed some normalcy. Some even claimed optimism.
Some of the optimism is based on the growth prospects in Asia and China. For the past five years, while Europe has not grown at all, Chinese GDP has grown 60%. In this year's Davos, there were no fewer than five public sessions on China, with topics ranging from its rapid growth, transformation of its growth model, and emergence of its soft power. Interests in Asia are high.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dame Shirley Bassey, who recorded the theme songs for the James Bond films "Goldfinger," "Diamonds Are Forever" and "Moonraker," will make her first appearance at the Academy Awards this month, the show's producers said on Friday.
Bassey, whose career has spanned more than six decades, will perform at the awards show on February 24 in Los Angeles, along with others including Adele, Norah Jones and Barbra Streisand.
"Her association with film music is world renowned and we are proud that she will be making her first Oscar appearance on our telecast," Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the producers of the show, said in a statement.
The 76-year-old British singer has recorded more than 44 albums, has sold more than 135 million records and has performed in concert halls across the world. Last June, she sang at Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee concert in London.
The Academy Awards will be broadcast live on ABC television and in more than 225 countries worldwide.

Six Floridians have been arrested trying to smuggle contraband into jails this week in two separate incidents.
Three men from Pinellas County are facing felony charges after trying to get marijuana into jail from the outside using a cord, authorities said. Three other people were arrested in Marion County when a woman tried to pay a work farm worker with narcotics to get contraband to her husband in jail, authorities said.
In Pinellas County, Eric Scott Snook, 41, filled a plastic bag with $1,500 of marijuana and other items to give to inmates on Monday. He attached it to a cord that two inmates were dangling from a sixth-floor rain drainage hole, the Tampa Bay Times reported. When the cord snapped, Snook ran away, authorities said.
Inmate Phillip William Henderson,38, made a prepaid call to Snook, begging him to come back even though he knew the call was being recorded.
"Eric, listen to me, dog," Henderson said in the prepaid call to Snook, the newspaper reported. "You've got to come back. We can't leave it (lying) on the ground, bro."
But Snook refused.
Deputies found the bag on a fourth-floor overhang Monday night. Henderson and inmate Mark "Red" Keating, 45, were charged and Snook was arrested Wednesday, the newspaper reported. It was not immediately known if they had attorneys.
Authorities believe that they have smuggled items into jail up to nine times over two months.
Three people were also arrested in Marion County for trying to smuggle contraband into the jail through a University of Florida Plant Science Research and Education farm, authorities said.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office learned that Cynthia Fletcher, 58, brought illegal narcotics to Marcus Brody Hilton, 34, in exchange for Hilton bringing contraband to Fletcher's husband, Danny Fletcher.
Hilton works for the UF Florida Inmate Work Farm in Orange Lake, deputies said.
Hilton received six pills from Cynthia Fletcher in exchange for delivering contraband items to her 32-year-old husband, who is in jail on a probation violation.
The contraband was 13 cans of snuff type tobacco, four 16-ounce Mountain Dew sodas, a pair of Nike shoes, a can of Folgers coffee and seven bags of different kinds of candies, The Ocala Star Banner reported.
All three of them are facing a charge of conspiracy to introduce contraband into a correctional facility. Hilton will also face additional charges of possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia, deputies said.
Hilton is being held in jail on a $10,500 bond. Cynthia Fletcher's bond is $5,000, and Danny Fletcher is being held in jail without bond. It was not immediately known if they had attorneys.

Fathers fight for more custody
Bill would entitle each parent to 45 percent custody
Fathers went to the state Capitol demanding more time with their kids, saying that current law favors mothers and that their children are suffering because of it.
Nebraska legislators heard emotional testimonies Wednesday afternoon on a bill that would change the Nebraska Parenting Act by adding a presumption that each parent will be entitled to at least 45 percent of parenting time.
Sen. Russ Karpisek said his bill would lessen the likelihood of messy custody battles.
"If you know going in it's going to be close to 50 percent, then where's the fight," Karpisek said.
Divorce Attorney John Ballew said the parenting act is working and it's keeping kids out of courts.
"If you mandate 45 percent between two parents and they don't have the money to fight it one way or another, what you're going to end up with is a war between two parents that children are ultimately going to be the loser in," Ballew said.
Jared Minary and Beau Caddell were two of the nine parents who testified in favor of the bill, saying they are fit fathers despite the limits the courts give them.
Minary said he has spent $30,000 trying to have equal time with his 9-year-old son, but he still only sees him four nights a month.
"I don't care if I have full custody. I want to be with my son," Minary said.
Caddell worries his daughter is already losing all those nights she asks him to tuck her into bed.
"I have to tell her that I can't do that, and I worry how long that goes on before she starts to think I don't want her in my life," Caddell said.
Karpisek said the bill would only offer a fallback position on custody. If a parent is seen as unfit, a judge could still give sole or more custody to the other parent.
The Judiciary Committee will decide whether or not to advance the bill.

Zimmer at heart of Rays' opening ceremony
ST. PETERSBURG -- Don Zimmer stole the show on Tuesday afternoon, when St. Petersburg's favorite adopted son threw out the first pitch prior to the Rays' season opener against the Orioles at Tropicana Field.
Zimmer, beginning his 10th season as a senior advisor for the Rays, was joined by his family -- wife Soot, son Tom, daughter-in-law Marian and grandsons Bo and Ron.
Tom turned out to be the designated arm for the occasion, but that did little to diminish the occasion. With his father standing next to him, Tom threw a strike to star third baseman Evan Longoria, who had the entire Rays team standing behind him.
After the ball was delivered, all of the players, coaches and staff members gathered on the mound to enjoy a special moment with Zimmer.
"I've been so lucky," Zimmer said. "You know, Lou Gehrig said, 'I'm the luckiest man in the world.' Well, if he's the luckiest man in the world, I'm the second luckiest."
When asked how special Tuesday was for him, Zimmer replied, "Very."
"Especially [with] the shape I'm in," said Zimmer, who has struggled with his health over the past couple of years. "It's unbelievable that I'm going for the 65th year. The Rays have been good to me."
The prelude to the Opening Day ceremonies began when ace lefty David Price left the home dugout and made his way down the right-field line, stopping to shake hands with security personnel en route to the bullpen to warm up for his start.
Shortly thereafter, the Orioles were introduced in advance of the home team. Up and down the line, the Rays enjoyed rousing applause from the sellout crowd. Closer Fernando Rodney, pitching coach Jim Hickey, manager Joe Maddon and Longoria were easily the recipients of the loudest ovations -- until Price, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, was introduced.
Tampa Bay-area saxophonist B.K. Jackson, who is always a popular Tropicana Field performer, then played the national anthem before Zimmer and Co. went to the mound.
Price threw the game's first pitch promptly at 3:13 p.m. ET, delivering a strike to Orioles leadoff man Nick Markakis and the Rays' 2013 season was under way.

Divers and snorkelers are listening to a local radio station's subsea concert in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Saturday's Underwater Music Festival is occurring at Looe Key Reef, just south of Big Pine Key, along the continental United States' only living coral barrier reef.
Some participating divers are saluting the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary, costuming themselves as the "Rolling Stone Crabs." Stone crabs are plentiful in waters surrounding the Keys.
Specially programmed music is being piped through waterproof speakers suspended under boats. Selections include Stones' classics and oceanic tunes such as the Beatles' "Octopus's Garden" and Jimmy Buffett's "Fins."
The broadcast also emphasizes coral reef preservation with diver awareness tips on enjoying the ocean while minimizing impacts on marine habitats.

My advice to young women about sex – well that's an interesting thing. I have had a great deal of sex in my life, yet not a lot of people ask me sex advice. Perhaps its because I complain a bunch about it and nobody likes a squeaky wheel although it does get the grease. I don't know. I have it less lately, more because the level of my desire has gone way down. It may be aging, or a health issue, or a kind of shutting off of lights in certain rooms that don't get used much in order to save energy. I'm being green about it.
It might be because I have had a lot of sexual experiences I didn't want. Now that sounds like rape and it isn't exactly, because that has happened too, and I know what it feels like. I don't have any shame around that, or being molested, since I had no say in it and nothing to do with it. I just happened to be physically smaller and that's not my fault, so I refuse to let that bad stuff hang around and mess me up. how much it has taken from me, I have no idea – I refuse to look at it, so it doesn't exist. Therapy hasn't helped me around it, but I also just don't care. Not caring has helped more, frankly. Not caring is like a balm for all wounds and suffering. Not caring rules. Being able to say, "I don't care", is like saying "I love you" to yourself. It's like ultimate power, and you don't even care. Awesome. We can't control what happens to us, but we can control how much we care. That's the best. I hope you consider that, whatever you're going through, and if you are a young woman, you are going through something. I am an old woman and I am still going through it. I am sending my love to you and hoping I can help some.
But the sex I am talking about having, the kind I didn't want, is sex I initiated with people I wasn't attracted to so that I could get finished faster, or so I didn't have explain whytowherefor I wasn't into it or into them, or I loved them so much, but the chemistry wasn't there, and I felt bad for them and so I would leave my body temporarily for them to do what they wanted, like "take what you want, I'll be over there" and then return at the end for cuddling and the nice warmth of sleeping in a bed with another person.
I had too much sex for the enjoyment of other people. I put myself last in the buffet line of desire. I just let it happen. I did it because I thought I was ugly, and if I didn't take that chance right then to be loved, it wouldn't happen again. That's sad to me now, because I was such a beautiful young girl, like you are now, and I never appreciated that beauty when it was there looking right back at me. It's ok though. I still look good.
I faked orgasms all the time, to the point where I never learned how to have them properly, and it became a weird big deal and I even remember when I almost had one, and I was really young, but something stopped me and I felt scared and self conscious and instead of really focusing and going ahead and having one, I just faked one and then kept doing it. It's hard to go back and correct that. I don't bother with that anymore. I never fake it, and I am sure sometimes people would wish that I did, but I don't care.
Vibrators are fantastic inventions, and they should be used more. Keep it plugged in or charged or fresh with batteries. There's all different kinds, new kinds, old kinds. I think vibrators are the best. Some don't need them, but why not? who cares who needs what except what you need? That is all that matters. What you need is all that matters.
Remember always that sex is for you first, and then the other person by proxy, but actually it pays off better for the other person if it is for you first. Sex is strange that way. The more we are in it, the more we all win it. There is no 'I' in team, but there is a 'me'. I just want to put slogans in your head so its easy to keep it in mind when you are doing stuff.
Sex can be amazingly great – if you are turned on, and gross and terrible if you are not, so trust what is exciting to you. That's your ticket to ride, seriously.

- What Is Enfuvirtide?
- Who Should Take It?
- What About Drug Resistance?
- How Is Enfuvirtide Taken?
- What Are The Side Effects?
- How Does It React With Other Drugs?
- The Bottom Line
What Is Enfuvirtide?
Enfuvirtide, also called Fuzeon® or T-20, is a drug used for antiviral therapy. It is manufactured by Roche and Trimeris.
Enfuvirtide is the first "fusion inhibitor" drug. When HIV infects a cell, it attaches to the outside of the cell. Then it "fuses" or joins itself with the cell. Enfuvirtide stops this process of fusion. This means that HIV cannot infect that cell.
Who Should Take It?
Enfuvirtide was approved in 2003 as an antiviral drug against HIV. It was studied in adults and in children over 6 months of age. There are no absolute rules about when to start antiviral drugs. You and your doctor should consider your CD4-cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking HIV medications. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of antiviral medications.
Enfuvirtide is injected twice a day. It will most likely be used by people who have very few choices of antiviral medications in pill form.
If you take enfuvirtide with other antiviral drugs, you can reduce your viral load and increase your CD4-cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
What About Drug Resistance?
The HIV virus is sloppy when it makes copies of its genetic code (RNA). Many new copies of HIV are mutations: they are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can continue to multiply even when you are taking an antiviral drug. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Resistance to enfuvirtide can develop quickly if it is taken by itself. With combination therapy (taking more than one antiviral drug at the same time), HIV mutates much more slowly. Resistance takes longer to develop. It is very important to take antiviral medications according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses. Recent research showed that enfuvirtide can be effective even when HIV appears to have some resistance to it.
Sometimes, if you develop resistance to one drug, you will also have resistance to other antiviral drugs. This is called "cross-resistance". Enfuvirtide does not have cross resistance with any other antiviral drugs.
How Is Enfuvirtide Taken?
If enfuvirtide is swallowed, it is destroyed by stomach acids. This means that it cannot be taken in pill form. Enfuvirtide is injected just under the skin. This is called a "subcutaneous" injection.
The adult dosage of enfuvirtide is 90 mg per injection, twice a day. The dosage for children is based on their body weight. Once-daily injections of enfuvirtide are being studied.
If your healthcare provider prescribes enfuvirtide, you will be shown how to prepare each injection, and how and where to inject it. It can take about 40 minutes to prepare a dose of enfuvirtide. You can prepare both of a day's doses at the same time. Avoid injecting near large nerves (ask your health care provider). Also, don't inject where you have had a reaction from a previous injection or into moles, tattoos, scar tissue, bruises, or your navel.
A new injector (the Biojector) was considered for use with enfuvirtide. However, in October 2007 Roche stopped trying to get it approved.
Enfuvirtide is a new class of antiviral drug. This means that it is active against HIV that has developed resistance to any other antiviral drug. However, it cannot be used by itself. It must be combined with other antiviral drugs.
What Are The Side Effects?
The most common side effects of enfuvirtide are skin reactions where the drug is injected. Almost everybody who uses enfuvirtide gets these reactions. They can be very mild, such as slight redness. They can include itching, swelling, pain, hardened skin, or hard lumps. Each reaction might last up to a week.
With two injections each day, people using enfuvirtide might have reactions at several spots on their body at the same time. Very few patients have stopped using it because of skin reactions.
The most common other side effects of enfuvirtide are headache, pain and numbness in feet or legs, dizziness, and loss of sleep. People taking enfuvirtide seem to have a higher rate of bacterial pneumonia. Be sure your health care provider knows about any lung problems you are having.
How Does It React With Other Drugs?
Enfuvirtide has been studied to see if it interacts with other drugs. There are no known interactions with other anti-HIV medications. However, it has not been studied with all medicines, over-the-counter drugs or vitamin or herbal supplements. Be sure your doctor knows about all medications and supplements that you are taking.
The Bottom Line
Enfuvirtide is the first drug in a new class. It stops HIV from "fusing" with a cell it has attached to. This prevents HIV from infecting the cell. Enfuvirtide helps control HIV, even when it is resistant to other medications.
Enfuvirtide has to be injected under the skin twice daily. Almost everyone who uses it gets skin reactions where it is injected. Most of these are not serious.

Every product on our website has been carefully selected to ship by a particular shipping method in order to provide you with the most reliable and most efficient delivery experience. When your order is picked up by the shipping company, we will notify you via email the tracking number for your shipment. You can track your package online or over the phone with the shipping company. Most companies can provide an estimated delivery date. We ship items with different carriers based on the size of the furniture and the special services you requested.
Small Item - Whenever possible we will ship smaller, lighter items via UPS, FEDEX or USPS. These companies provide the fastest and most reliable method of shipping available for many items we sell. Depending on how far you are from our distribution center, your furniture will arrive between 1 and 10 business days after it leaves our distribution center. We require an adult's signature for deliveries. Please note that the decision to leave your package without a signature is at the discretion of the delivery person.

Be sure to include your name and tracking number on the note.
Truck Delivery - Many items on our website are too large and/or heavy to ship via UPS/FedEx/USPS. Truck Delivery is different than standard UPS, FedEx, or US Mail. Once your furniture arrives at the carrier's destination location, the carrier will call you to set up a delivery appointment. Most truck delivery companies offer 4 hours appointment windows. The items will be delivered to the driveway or curb outside of the delivery address provided when you placed the order. It is the customer's responsibility to transport the items inside your home, however several truck companies offer additional services to help move the items into your house with additional charge. We do not offer this service at this time.

Published June 6, 2013
Festival tents are typically dull, with plain white canopies that do little to reflect the playful emotions such events are meant to evoke.
So to put a twist on these humdrum shelters, architecture faculty members Stephanie Davidson and Georg Rafailidis designed MirrorMirror, an easily transportable temporary outdoor structure that holds surprises for anyone who walks by or beneath it.
The project's main attraction is a 45-degree-angled gable roof made from sheets of Mylar foil that are stretched over foam-and-aluminum frames to form glassless, double-sided mirrors.
The effect is surreal.
Fairgoers underneath the tent can look up and watch their doubles strolling along in the mirror world. Observers outside the tent can see reflections of trees, the city skyline and slices of sky, with clouds floating across the mirrored roof.
MirrorMirror was the winner of a competition that Storefront for Art and Architecture, the New Museum and Architizer held this spring to produce visually compelling, prefabricated tents that create new ways for people to gather and engage in urban activities.
"Our structure is very simple, but it relates to you through the mirror effect. You're seeing something which appears to be there, but is not there, so it has this dream-like quality," says Rafailidis, assistant professor of architecture.
"Our work focuses on creating structures or buildings that relate to people, independent of how or where the structure is being used," says Davidson, clinical assistant professor of architecture. "MirrorMirror amplifies the activity of the city, no matter what the setting is."
MirrorMirror includes nine structural units consisting of a hinged, mirrored roof that rests atop a base of steel posts. These units can be positioned side by side to form a continuous, 90-foot-long tent.
The project was designed and built in Buffalo by the UB faculty members' architecture practice, Davidson Rafailidis. It then was shipped to New York City, where it sheltered booths and crowds on May 4 at the IDEAS CITY 2013 festival, which explored the future of cities with the belief that art and culture are essential to the vitality of urban centers.
The IDEAS CITY StreetFest design competition is an international biennial competition, begun in 2011, to initiate the design, management, and construction of innovative temporary outdoor structures that create new ways for people to gather and engage in urban public activities.
More than eighty submissions from across the globe were received for this year's competition. Davidson's and Rafailidis's submission was selected by a jury of five individuals in the art and architecture fields:

Guaranteed to work on your car.
The frustrating thing about shopping online is not being able to touch the item you're buying. If you're buying a pair of jeans, it can be difficult to tell whether the jeans will fit once they arrive. The same goes for bike racks, especially if you have factory crossbars on your car. Well, here's a refreshing idea that takes the frustration out of buying bike racks online–RockyMounts GUARANTEES that its TieRod Bike Mount will fit on your factory crossbars. They can do this because of the TieRod's unique design. It uses rubber-coated stainless steel straps to secure it to the cross bars and takes just minutes to install.
RockyMounts doesn't make crossbars. Because of
that, the TieRod is designed to work with both Yakima's round bars and
Thule's square bars, as well as factory racks. The TieRod is also
compatible with road and mountain bikes, as long as they have a
standard QR fork. It works with bikes that have rim brakes and disc brakes. The 45 inch tubular tray will accommodate almost any
bike. RockyMounts makes a special model for folks with recumbents and
The simple quick-release makes it easy to load and unload your bike, so you won't be stuck struggling with the rack, dropping your bike, denting your car, smashing your finger, and generally flailing with your bike. The quick-release is lock compatible (lock cores are sold separately) so your bike won't disappear when you duck into a restaurant for a post-ride snack.
The RockyMounts TieRod Bike Mount comes in Black, Silver, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, White, and Orange.
- Fits and Yakima, Thule, or factory crossbars
- Lockable cores available
- Compatible with QR front skewers

Mount it up!
This mount will work with the construction bar carrier Highland 2006200 Black Heavy Duty Bar Carriers. I was worried it wouldn't be stable or mount correctly, but it turns out its all good to go. Just make sure its super tight. The bars I had were thicker than the normal Yakima or Thule circular bars so this worked out great as many other mounting platforms create a real problem by not fitting a thicker bar. Don't unscrew the latch mount bolt all the way like I did or else you will spend another 5 minutes trying to fit it back into the latches. Also to fit the mount on larger bars you'll need to move the black rubber stoppers from the top of the rear mount to the other side of the mount and it'll be good to go. You don't need the lock cores, but if you want your bike secure from thieves I'd recommend picking them up!
Easy to assemble, solid
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The rack is easy to assemble despite vague poorly printed instructions. Appears very solid and well-made fitting aero crossbars as advertised.
Great racks
These were incredibly easy to install; brilliant engineering. They are solid with no wobble, holding my bike firmly.
I dig it!
This is an inexpensive, low profile rack that is easy to install. I've only tossed my bike on it to check it out but it is simple enough to use. I can't wait to put it to some real use this summer!
great rack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I uppgraded to this rack from an old yakima rack that my mom used in college (yes they were old). this rack is alot more sturdy and aerodynamic. the install was pretty straight forward and only took about 15 min from unboxing to install
Nice finish & detail, solid construction
Easy assembly, beefy lock cores for piece of mind, cool stylin colors, I have been admiring these racks on other cyclists cars for too long, I love it! Reasonably priced & sturdy mounts to my 2015 Subaru Outback OEM bars, thank you!
Solid bike rack
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I exchanged my Yakima roof rack in favor of the Rocky Mount TieRod since the Yakima didn't have a solid fit on my 2015 Subaru Crosstrek. The TieRod has such an incredible grip on the factory bars. A smart and easy system that was easier than the Yakima to set up. The included instructions could use a little updating - a video online helps with that. This also fits on our 2015 Subaru Outback factory bars as well.
Rack city
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great bike rack. Wish it was alittle more forward on my car. With the factory bars on my imprezza. When the bike is on the roof I can't put the tire in the trunk. The rear tire on my bike hits the spoiler preventing it to come all the way up. But that's no big deal. Also wish it came with the locks.
Rack it up
Affordable rack that is easy to install.
Inexpensive option for your roof rack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Easy to install to factory rack on Subaru Forrester. Light weight. Quick release can be challenging to adjust, but provides a secure attachment for 9mm quick release style fork.

The UNCG/Grandover Collegiate (Formerly the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate) is in its 15th year in 2019 and is bigger and better than ever at the Grandover Resort for the eighth straight year.
After serving as a spring tournament in 2005 and 2006, the tournament moved to October in 2007, serving for many teams as the final stop on their fall schedule. Each year, the tournament field seems to grow stronger. In 2010, the field featured five teams ranked in the top 50 by both Golfstat and Golfweek's Sagarin ratings. The year prior, Louisville, Mississippi State, Duke, Michigan State, Memphis, Michigan and Pepperdine played in the tournament - all of which advanced to the NCAA tournament in the spring of 2008.
The tournament began play at the Grandover Resort East Course in 2012. The host of the 2011, 2014 & 2015 NCAA Division III men's championship, Grandover also hosted an NCAA Division I men's regional in May, 2012.
The public areas of the Grandover depict a grand, European style castle. The elegant lobby evokes an old world feel, with a contrasting floor pattern of Italian travertine, Tazmanian gold limestone and black granite, combined with large columns of Spanish marble. Chandeliers, lamp posts and gilded iron work further enhance the décor. Signed, original oil paintings show a variety of historic life in and about the grand old hotels of Europe.

Motorists are urged to gas up, have fully-charged cellphones and exercise patience and courtesy as they head out on what is projected to be the highest Labor Day travel volume since 2008.
"We're going to have a lot of company on the roads," said Mary Maguire, Massachusetts spokeswoman for AAA of Southern New England.
About 35 million people across the country will be traveling this Labor Day holiday. That's a 1.3 percent increase over last year. And, significantly less than the 45 million travelers during the Labor Day holiday in 2008.
Ms. Maguire said although the bottom fell out of the economy in 2008, a lot of people already had made and paid for travel plans for Labor Day. And some of the impact of the Great Recession was not felt until 2009.
With the economy showing signs of recovery, people have a little more disposable income this year. And Americans are willing to use a credit card to finance their vacation, she said.
Lower gas prices have factored in to the decision of about 30 million, or 86 percent, of this year's Labor Day travelers choosing to drive. The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Massachusetts is about $3.45, which is a penny higher than the national average, and 14 cents lower than last Labor Day.
"The fact that gas prices are trending downward makes travelers feel more empowered to launch a getaway," Ms. Maguire said. "And, historically, we have found in our research when Labor Day weekend begins in August, Americans show a higher tendency to travel."
She said many people began their holiday on Thursday.
Sue and Tom Zucker-Scharff of Westchester, New York, stopped at the Mass Pike service plaza in Charlton Thursday afternoon, on their way from Standish, Maine, to spend the holiday in the Berkshires.
Mrs. Zucker-Scharff, an adjunct college professor, said after teaching two sessions this summer, she wanted to make the most of the little time she has before classes resume. Like several travelers at the service plaza, the Zucker-Scharffs bought fresh-picked peaches and apples that owners of Cheney Orchards in Brimfield were selling.
"So far, the traffic has been pretty good," she said, before adding with a wide grin: "We had to stop here for the peaches. Let me tell you ... like dripping juicy. Amazing."
The weather is expected to cooperate to help make for an enjoyable last holiday of the summer, although some spotty rain showers and brief thunderstorms can be expected Sunday and Monday.
Kim Buttrick, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said this weekend's temperatures should be near seasonable.
Sunny skies, dry weather and temperatures in the low 70s are expected Friday. Temperatures will drop to the 50s across the region Friday night.
Saturday will remain dry and the temperature will be a degree or two warmer than Friday. Saturday night's temperatures should be in the low- to mid-60s.
"For the remainder of the Labor Day weekend, things get a little tricky," Ms. Buttrick said. "It is expected to get warmer, but there's going to be the chance of showers and thunderstorms on both days … nothing widespread, just a chance on both days."
On Sunday, temperatures will climb into the 80s across southern New England. It will be slightly cooler on the outer Cape and the islands, where it will be in the mid-70s.
It should be dry overnight Sunday with temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees. Monday's temperatures should be in the upper 70s to mid-80s. The outer Cape and islands will see temperatures drop to the low- to mid-70s. Monday night should remain dry with temperatures generally ranging in the 60s.
To help traffic flow smoother, the state Department of Transportation is suspending all road and bridge construction on major roadways from Friday at 10 a.m. through Tuesday at 5 a.m. Free coffee will be served at the 18 service plazas along Interstate 90 and other major state highways from 10 p.m. Monday to 5 a.m. Tuesday.
State police spokesman Lt. Daniel G. Richard urged motorists to refrain from distracted driving, including texting. He stressed that motorists under age 18 are prohibited from having any electronic devices in their hands. Drivers should also obey the law and move over out of the lane adjacent to the break-down lane when it is occupied by police, fire, ambulance or tow vehicles.
Lt. Richard said there will be delays on some roadways coming and going from Cape Cod or northbound to Maine and New Hampshire. "People have to exercise a lot of patience and courtesy on the roads," he said. "And, we ask they prepare accordingly. Gas up and have fully-charged cellphones should they break down so they can reach out for help. Calling 911 on a cellphone comes to the state police. We will dispatch a trooper or call the local police."

Treasure Roundup II
|Chests & Collectibles
|3 Wrath Shards
|2 Soldier Artifacts
|1 Champion Artifact
|1 Overlord Artifact
|1 Abyssal Armor Piece
Are you ready to track down the game's most obscure collectible, the Overlord Artifact? We thought so. In the Ashlands, head for the fourth wooden tower -- the northernmost one. You can access this strip of towers near the Soul Bridge entrance.
You'll need to slow down time in the first tower and climb up and over the Demonic Growth to get to the northern towers. In the northernmost tower, climb the Demonic Growth to the second tier (above the spinning blade) and throw the switch.
This should drop the Chronosphere down to the level with the spinning blade. Use the Chronosphere to cross to the other side of the spinning blade (climb across the Growth on the roof). Now, use the Growth on the outer wall to climb to the high walkway between the two northern towers.
Your goal is the very top of the north tower. While standing on the walkway between the towers, look directly up. A blue chain hook point is here. Grapple this with the Abyssal Chain to reach the top of the north tower. Hit the switch to stop the drill.
Drop down into the hole below the drill bit and follow the cave back to the Overlord Artifact. It's worth 5000 Souls!
Now that you're already down here in the cave, you may as well pick up a nearby enhancement as well. Swim over to the cave with the many Goremaws and traverse it to its far eastern end. Use the Abyssal Chain to cross to the visible Chest (Ashlands Chest 24/25). You'll need to fight off several waves of enemies to get at it, but inside is the Strife's Offering enhancement.
|Enhancement Profile: Strife's Offering
|When equipped, this enhancement greatly increases War's prowess with guns.
Now, head east across the level. To the north of the wood tower in the east, look for a strip of raised rock along the eastern border. The north side of this strip is accessible via a Geyser. Take this up and follow the strip south. Cross the chain grip points with the Abyssal Chain and then look for another grip point on the tower's top. Grapple over to the tower and you'll find a Chest (Ashlands Chest 25/25) with an Abyssal Armor Piece (Abyssal Armor Piece) inside.
On the same strip of raised rock in the east, look for some Demonic Growth. Climb this to find a Soldier Artifact (Soldier Artifact 17) tucked away against the eastern wall.
Ashlands Access Tunnel
For more loot, head to the Vulgrim location in the Ashlands. Head southwest and drop into the Ashlands Access Tunnel area. Enter the room with the Goremaws on the ceiling above a single stretch of rope. You need to cross this area to the west side, so jump out onto the rope and get eaten by a Goremaw. From the western ledge, look up and to the right. You should be able to make out an Abyssal Chain grapple point high above. It is orange. Grapple this and then float into the secret tunnel above. You'll find a Chest (Ashlands Access Tunnel 4/4) here with a Wrath Shard (Wrath Shard 12) inside.
Crossroads / Library
Warp to the Crossroads using Vulgrim and enter the Library to the north. In the main room, look for an Abyssal Chain grip point along the eastern wall. Use this to get to the second level. Here you can double-jump and glide over to the Soldier Artifact (Soldier Artifact 18) on the west side.
It's not over yet, though. Stay on the upper level and enter the door in the northeast corner of the main chamber. You'll find a Chest (Library 5/5) here with a Wrath Shard (Wrath Shard 13) inside.
Choking Grounds
Remember that office building in the northeast corner of the Choking Grounds? Return here and ascend to the top floor. You'll need to use your Abyssal Chain on the Demonic Growth in the north corner of the penultimate floor to reach the top area. Here you'll find a Chest (Choking Grounds Chest 8/9) with a Possession item inside (in an Empty Vessel).
Twilight Cathedral
Warp to the Twilight Cathedral and head north towards the great pool of lava on at the exterior of the Cathedral. A series of grapple points hang over this pit, so use your Abyssal Chain to cross them. On the far side is a Chest (Twilight Cathedral 28/28) with 100 Souls inside.
In a cave nearby you'll be able to fight the skeleton Wicked K for 2,000 Souls. Don't use your Chaos form or he'll disappear and you'll have to come back later! This is one of four locations where you can fight this strange foe. It will only take a few Blade Geysers and some combos to deal with Wicked K.
Anvil's Ford
In the far, far west of Anvil's Ford there's a Chest (Anvil's Ford 10/10) under a waterfall. Use the Abyssal Chain to swing over to it. You'll encounter the same skeletal menace along the way. Special K appears here as well, so earn your 2,000 Souls before grabbing the Wrath Shard (Wrath Shard 14).
Scalding Gallow / Drowned Pass Access Tunnel
Warp to the Scalding Gallow and take the western exit to the Drowned Pass Access Tunnel. Head down to the room with the large, rotating fan blades. In the south part of this room, look for a gap in the wall below where the fan blade spins. You can leap off a fan blade and float down into this area.
As you float downward, look up for a blue chain grip. You can grapple this with the Abyssal Chain to find a secret area with a Champion Artifact (Champion Artifact 4). You'll have to return here again with the Voidwalker for more goodies.
You can finally approach Samael now in the Scalding Gallow and offer him the final Heart of the Chosen. He'll send you through a new portal.

Through the CDM, a financing system established under the Kyoto Protocol, industrialised countries invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more costly emissions reductions in their own countries. More wind projects have secured CDM finance in China than in any other country (Windpower Monthly, November 2009).
To be eligible for CDM carbon credits, a project must prove that emissions reduction resulting from its clean power would not have been achieved without the CDM revenue. In industry jargon, this is known as additionality. According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the EB accused the Chinese government of lowering legislated purchase prices for wind to attract CDM investment.
The EB itself says it did not receive enough information from project developers, and from companies accredited by the CDM to check that projects fulfil CDM criteria, to assess the mandated purchase prices. It has encouraged developers to reapply. "If the project operators could instantly supply information, we may start re-examination right now," says EB chairman Lex de Jonge. "If their arguments are well based, they might pass."
Still critical
Despite strong government support, profits at Chinese wind farms remain small due in part to a lack of sophisticated wind forecasting technology and poor operation and maintenance. For this reason, Chinese officials say CDM remains critical. "Without CDM projects, the Chinese wind power industry will not develop quickly and it will not be able to contribute so significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission across the world," says Wang Yan, assistant to the secretary general of the China Wind Energy Association.
Five of the ten rejected projects are owned by the Longyuan Group, China's largest wind developer. Huadian International and China Datang each own two, and the remaining project belongs to Guangdong Guohua New Energy Investment. Nine leading Chinese wind farm operators signed a joint declaration asking the EB to reconsider. Among them are the country's top five power groups. Tang Renhu, director of the Datang CDM project office, says CDM earnings account for 10-20% of income at wind farms.
Li Gao, climate change division chief at China's National Development and Reform Committee, was similarly critical. Li was part of China's negotiation team at the UN climate conference in Copenhagen. "The Chinese delegation noticed with serious concerns that, during the past year, the development of CDM projects in specific areas was confronted by unprecedented difficulties and barriers, part of which are caused by the irrational, non-transparent and unfair decisions of the EB, which is expected to be fair and impartial," he says. Li's phrase "specific areas" is interpreted as referring to China. De Jonge denies the EB decision specifically targets China, saying that because the country accounts for such a large portion of projects it scrutinises, a certain number of rejections is to be expected.
No decline
GWEC secretary general Steve Sawyer says the EB has never substantiated its concern over mandated purchase prices. He adds: "Since 2006, which marked the beginning of the wind power boom in China, tariffs for wind power have either remained stable or have in fact risen." The China Renewable Energy Industries Association agrees. Its Research Report on the Development of Chinese Wind Power Industry and Power Prices concludes that the Chinese government has not suppressed guaranteed purchase prices for wind to maximise CDM revenue.
China first introduced fixed prices for wind in 1986, when the country's first wind farm was constructed in east China's Rongcheng, Shandong province. Wind farms received a maximum payment of CNY 0.3/kWh ($0.044/kWh), equivalent to those of thermal power. Between 2003 and 2007, the country conducted a wind project concession programme allowing the market to decide prices, which continued to rise.
In July, China introduced fixed prices for electricity from onshore wind farms built after August 1. Grouped into four regional categories, prices have been set according to wind resource and project construction conditions and range from CNY 0.51/kWh ($0.075/kWh) in the windiest parts of the country to CNY 0.61/kWh ($0.089/kWh) in the least windy areas. They are an improvement on the CNY 0.38-0.52/kWh ($0.055-0.076/kWh) under the concession programme (Windpower Monthly, December 2009).
There were some exceptions to the upward trend in price in such areas as Heilongjiang province in China's remote northeast and the western part of Inner Mongolia. Costs of wind farms in such areas had fallen due to accelerated construction of electricity transmission lines and an increase in the portion of wind power equipment manufactured locally. This resulted in lower fixed purchase prices for wind power. The fall in fixed prices, though, did not affect an overall decrease in fixed prices across China.
