It’s Labor Day and you know what that means … it’s the unofficial end of summer.
For the past few months we’ve been spotting countless celebrities baring their bikini bodies on the beach and at the pool, but it’s time to say goodbye to the tiny two-pieces and hello to the fall sweaters and opaque tights.
So long, teeny bottoms. Adieu, skimpy monokinis. And farewell, bandeau tops.

TOKYO — Japan’s top nuclear regulator raised safety concerns Monday about hastily built storage tanks and their foundations after signs of more leaks of radiation-contaminated water at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant.
The latest leak was found over the weekend at a connecting pipe. The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it suspects there may also have been leaks from three storage tanks, because high radioactivity was detected near them. The levels were not considered deadly.

VENICE, Italy — First-time director Gia Coppola says she is trying to find her own voice as a filmmaker, so she didn’t seek much help from either grandfather Francis Ford Coppola or aunt Sofia Coppola.
“It was important for me to find my own voice and try to do it on my own,” she said in an interview Sunday before the debut of her film “Palo Alto” out of the main competition at the Venice Film Festival – where Sofia walked away with the Golden Lion in 2010 for “Somewhere.”
Do you remember going on a camping trip where you didn’t have to worry about your gadgets? There was no phone, MP3 player, GPS, or anything that would require electricity. It was all about you, nature, and hoping you didn’t need toilet paper in the woods. The only device worth worrying about keeping powered was your flashlight. Of course nowadays, everyone needs to check their email and be connected to social media outlets constantly so they can post pictures of birds and the same friends smiling in different places every 15 minutes. Don’t get me wrong, technology is awesome, but sometimes it’s nice to go without.
If you think that’s all a bunch of bologna, then you’ll probably want something like the Goal Zero Lighthouse 250 Lantern on your excursion. This is a 250 lumen light that will give you two days worth of illumination on one charge via USB. Of course, once you’re in the wild, you’ll have to hand crank it to get any power. If you’re not up for getting an arm workout or sitting around that long, you can also opt for purchasing a solar panel that will do all of the work for you. Of course, this isn’t just a one trick wonder, as it will also recharge your devices. It can take on MP3 players, tablets, e-readers, smartphones and more. Keep in mind that this will drain the battery much faster than simply providing you with light, so be prepared to crank it for quite some time if you’re glued to your gadgets. There isn’t word on pricing just yet, but that information will likely surface in the coming months.
The Lighthouse 250 is available from Goal Zero [via inhabitat]
