33mm Pictures has now confirmed that WWE alumni Gene Snitsky is set to play a supernatural entity in their upcoming film, Dark Force. The film is an adaptation of Bill Bean's book; Snitsky will play a character titled "The Undertaker" who is one of four dark forces in the book. In the film, The Undertaker will be an amalgamation of three characters from the novel: The Undertaker, the red-haired ghost, and the hooded entity. Snistky said of the news, "My character in WWE was very scary and intimidating. I think my experience portraying that character year after year will help me tremendously in bringing the scariest and most intimidating UNDERTAKER entity to life."

How To Spend $1.25 Trillion
By David Kestenbaum and Chana Joffe-Walt
Aug 26 (NPR) — In the face of the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve decided to buy $1.25 trillion of mortgage-backed bonds as part of its effort to prop up the economy.
It was a huge departure from ordinary policy — such an extraordinary departure, in fact, that it was easy to forget that somebody had to actually go out and buy all those mortgages.
This week, we visited the New York Fed to learn the story of how the central bank spent so much money, so fast.
In late 2008, Julie Remache got a call from her former employer, the New York Fed. She was working in the private sector, and the call came while she was at the office. She recognized the extension, and knew someone from the Fed was calling her. So she took the call in a conference room.
The guy on the other end of the phone was Richard Dzina, a senior VP at the New York Fed. His offer: Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to spend hundreds of billions of dollars and try to save the economy
"How could I say no?" Remache says.
The New York Fed is a big, fancy place — lots of marble, a vault full of gold in the basement. But Remache and her team worked in a plain room with four small cubicles. There were no marble floors or oak tables. Just a Nerf football net, a table-tennis trophy, and two yoga balls.
The team spent six weeks coming up with a plan of attack, and 15 months actually buying mortgage-backed bonds, all of which came with a government guarantee that they'd be paid back even if the borrowers defaulted.
The program's intent was to keep interest rates low, and slow the decline in housing prices. The team ended up buying more than a fifth of all of the government-backed bonds on the market.
"It's possible I was buying the mortgage on my own house," says Nathaniel Wuerffel. "Very possible."
In the end, they came very, very close to their target: They told us they were just 61 cents short. (In other words, they bought $1,249,999,999,999.39 worth of mortgage-backed bonds.)
The Fed was able to spend so much money so quickly because it has a unique power: It can create money out of thin air, whenever it decides to do so. So, Dzina explains, the mortgage team would decide to buy a bond, they'd push a button on the computer — "and voila, money is created."
The thing about bonds, of course, is that people pay them back. So that $1.25 trillion in mortgage bonds will shrink over time, as they get repaid. Earlier this month, the Fed announced that it will use the proceeds from the mortgage bonds to buy Treasury bonds — essentially keeping all that newly created money in circulation.
The decision was a sign that the Fed thinks the economy still needs to be propped up with extraordinary measures. More clues about what the Fed may do next could come Friday, when Ben Bernanke is scheduled to address a big annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole.

The No. 2 Democrat in the House says Capitol Hill lawmakers are going to give up the automatic pay raise they're due next year.
Maryland Democrat Steny Hoyer says it would inappropriate for Congress to take its annual cost of living pay hike in 2010 while the economy is in such bad shape and so many people are losing their jobs.
But lawmakers are going ahead and pocketing the $5,000 salary hike they got at the beginning of this year to raise their salaries to $174,000.
Congress automatically gets a cost of living pay increase under a law passed 20 years ago. During years when it's politically difficult, they'll give it up.

well I don't know how else to start up this blog but I will just write until something good comes out. lol I have been playing table top war-games from when I was 12 until now 30 something. I was always ok at painting with no training or skill but now that I am older and have more time on my hands I want to improve my skills and push the envelope with painting models. I will post up an Army that I just painted this weekend from the game Dark Age. The Core was the faction that I painted and I will
I did more progress on the painting of Be'lakor. I am quite happy with the work on the blade of the sword.
I am working on Be'lakor, playing with blue highlights in black and some glow effects. Opinion and suggestions are welcome.
Hello, I am Victor, I've been painting since 1994. I start painting to play and at the beginning I was more interested in playing and in the tactics than in painting. After some time I focus more on the hobby aspect and today although I always paint thinking in making the miniature playable I dedicate more time to the painting side.
Some time ago I started a blog in Spanish that over the time I decided to do bilingual making all post in English and Spanish. About one year ago I decided to

lee r. berger, university ofwitwatersrand/Associated Press
NEW YORK — Scientists have gained new insights into an extinct South African creature with an intriguing mix of human and apelike traits, and apparently an unusual way of walking. But they still haven't pinned down where it fits on our evolutionary family tree.
It will take more fossil discoveries to sort that out.
The human branch of the evolutionary tree, called Homo, is thought to have arisen from a group of ancient species called australopithecines. The newly studied species is a member of this group, and so its similarities to humans are enticing for tackling the riddle of how Homo appeared.
It's called Australopithecus sediba, which means "southern ape, wellspring." It lived some 2 million years ago, and it both climbed in trees and walked upright. Its remains were discovered in 2008 when the 9-year-old son of a paleoanthropologist accidently came across a bone in South Africa.
A 2011 analysis of some of A. sediba's bones showed a combination of human and more apelike traits, like a snapshot of evolution in action. That theme continues in six papers published online Thursday by the journal Science, which complete the initial examination of two partial skeletons and an isolated shinbone.
Jeremy DeSilva of Boston University, lead author of one of the papers, said the fossils reveal an unexpected "mosaic of anatomies."
"I didn't think you could have this combination, that hand with that pelvis with that foot... And yet, there it is," he said.
DeSilva said he has no idea how A. sediba is related to humans, noting that the different traits argue for different conclusions.
Among the new analyses, the ribs show the creature's upper trunk resembled an ape's, while the lower part looked more like a human's. Arm bones other than the hand and wrist look primitive, reflecting climbing ability, while earlier analysis of the hand had shown mixed traits.
The teeth also show a mix of human and primitive features, and provide new evidence that A. sediba is closely related to early humans, said Debbie Guatelli-Steinberg of Ohio State University, a co-author of a dental analysis. It and an older South African species, A. africanus, appear more closely related to early humans than other australopithecines like the famous "Lucy" are, she said.
But she said the analysis can't determine which of the two species is the closer relative, nor whether A. sediba is a direct ancestor of humans.
Another study found a mix of human and apelike traits in leg bones, and concluded that A. sediba walked like no other known animal.
Its heel was narrow like an ape's, which would seem to prevent walking upright, but the more humanlike knee, pelvis and hip show A. sediba did just that, DeSilva said.
When people walk, they strike the ground with the heel first. But that would be disastrous from A. sediba's narrow heel bone, so instead the creature struck the ground first with the outside of the foot, DeSilva and co-authors propose. The foot would react by rolling inward, which is called pronation. In people, chronic pronation can cause pain in the foot, knees, hip and back, said DeSilva, who tried out the ancient creature's gait.
"I've been walking around campus this way, and it hurts," he said.
But the bones of A. sediba show features that evidently prevented those pain problems, he said. The creature apparently adopted this gait as a kind of compromise for a body that had to climb trees proficiently as well as walk upright, he said.

Hi, I have The Rising theme which I bought long ago.The client I bought it for is still using it and I am wondering if there were any updates I could get? I saw somewhere that it had been updated to HTML 5 etc. Thanks much. It is a really great theme! Dave
Hello @davebell,
Send us an email via our profile page, we'll send it over.
Revoulation slider not working. I am trying to create a new revoulation slider. After filling the data when i am clicking on Create Slider button,button not working. Pls know me ASAP.How I can fix my problem.
Hello @akmandal
Sorry to hear about your issues. Please post your issue in the Support Forums and we will follow up and inspect the situation in depth to see what's going on.
Hi, Interested in possibly purchasing this theme but would like to know if there are any php settings that would have to be configured on the server environment (i.e. max_execution_time, max_input_time)? Thank you!
Hello friend,
No, the theme mostly works out of the box. As of setting up the server environment, well it depends on your server settings. For example, if your memory is too low, then you may need to increase it but this is a very rare case and depends on the hosting provider.
As per max_execution_time and max_input_time, we have never seen anybody that needs setting those variables.
It's worth mentioning that the only PHP extensions needed are mcrypt and GD, which most servers have installed already.

Jatheon: Easy to install and manage; relatively pricey
Company: Jatheon PnC 100, v2.11 Appliance pricing starts at $3,746 for up to 100 users, larger appliances have per user cost as low as $13.13 per user.
The Jatheon PnC 100 is a small appliance that supports up to 100 users, designed to be simple to install and configure. Initial configuration is accomplished through keyboard and monitor, and then the rest through a Web console. The documentation and setup wizard makes it simple to configure Exchange with envelope journaling to enable archiving. The documentation also includes setups for other mail systems including GroupWise, Lotus and Linux-based e-mail servers.
How to bring e-Discovery in-house
The features included in the PnC are similar to what you'll find in the other products tested, including easy retention policy setups, policies for e-mail content, legal holds on messages found during e-discovery searches, reporting tools, single-instance storage (deduplication), user, administrator and auditor roles, audit trails and read-only archives, expandable storage and instant message archiving.
The PnC was able to easily import existing mailboxes into an archive, and search times for finding messages were quick. As with the other SMB-oriented products, the focus was on ease of use and administration rather than the levels of granularity and performance of the enterprise products.
The Jatheon is a good bit more expensive than the Barracuda at low numbers of users, although at numbers of 1,000 or so the cost per user gets closer, (around $13 to Barracuda's $9) for similar levels of functionality and ease of use. Jatheon has more of an international presence, so companies with branches in Europe or even Canada may find it easier to deal with than primarily U.S. companies.

I attend school full time and I pump around 11:35 until 11:50 I have a class afterwards and do not get home until 1:45ish. My question is when I get home can I store my breastmilk in the freezer still? Let me know asap!
|Tue, 04-08-2014 - 7:22am
Thanks for stopping by! Yes, putting your breastmilk in the fridge or freezer would be absolutely fine. Breastmilk is fine for 4-6 hours at room temp, 8 days in the fridge and 3-6 months in the freezer. Here's a handy chart that you may want to print out to have on your fridge: http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/milkstorage/

Zion Evangelical Lutheran ChurchMissouri Synod
Welcome to Zion's Website
Zion Ev. Lutheran Church is a vibrant and growing church committed to equipping families and individuals with God's Word for the challenges that they may face throughout their lives. We have a traditional worship service every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM, followed by Bible study for the adults and Sunday school for the children at 10:00 AM. We also have a Monthly Evening Worship Service with Communion at 7:00 PM, the first Monday after the first Sunday of the month. (The next Monday Evening Worship Service will be held in June of 2015.) We also have a Contemporary Worship Service at 10:30 AM, the last Sunday of every month. If you don't already have a church home, we invite you to worship with us. We offer you the opportunity to enrich your life with God's Word and fellowship with other Christians. We're not a large congregation, but in many ways this is an asset for us. Because we're small, we're able to establish sincere, close Christian relationships with each other. There is a "family feel" to our congregation. Out in the world, this isn't at all the case; people go unnoticed. However, everyone is valued and appreciated as a redeemed child of Christ at our church. Our small size also allows us to live out our lives according to what Jesus taught, namely to love God and one another and to spread the Gospel in the communities around us and the world. Zion has ministries and programs designed to enrich you spiritually and build your relationship with Christ. We welcome you to come and worship with us. Pastor Reinders places his weekly message on our Website for your own spiritual growth. You are more than welcome to print it off and share it with others, or use it in your own family worship time.
Message-Week of November 16th, 2014Pastor Doug Reinders "God Has Given Us Our Special Talents"Matthew 25:14-30
When God made each of us, He gave us different gifts and abilities. That means no two people are the same in this world. That's what makes each of us unique and special in God's eyes.
We all know that God does things for a reason. There is always a purpose behind what He does. Our God is not a God of chaos and disorder. Everything in our universe has its place and reason for being. That's how God designed the universe. It stands to reason, then, that God has given each of us our special gifts and abilities, our talents, for a reason. God has a purpose in mind. He didn't give us our special gifts and abilities just because.
What is that reason? It's quite simple, actually, but very hard to put into practice. God gave us our gifts and abilities to bring glory to His name. That's it. But the challenge is using our gifts and abilities to do that. We don't always use them in a way that pleases our Lord. Sometimes we don't use them at all. But the reason God gave them to us was for us to use in a God-pleasing way.
"Why can't we use our gifts and abilities in a way we see fit? Why does God always have to figure into the equation? Can't I do what I want with the gifts and abilities I have?" Well, we can if we want to. We've been given the freedom to use our gifts and abilities how we wish. That's quite evident in the way some people use their gifts and abilities. Some use them in a dishonorable and impure way. Some use them to bring glory to themselves. Some fail to use them at all and as a result they never reach their true potential. For them, God isn't in the equation.
That's what happened in our text. The man who was given one talent buried it in the ground. He did nothing with it. And as a result, he never reached his full potential. However, the other two who were given five and two talents used them the best they could and maximized their potential. How do we know this? Their master was pleased with their results, so much so that he gave them even more.
So, we can use our gifts and abilities however we wish, whether it be for good or for evil. There is nothing stopping us. Our text provides us with a good example of the freedom we have. Two of the men did the right thing with their talents while the one man did nothing with his. God wasn't in the equation for him.
But there is a catch here. We may have the freedom to do what we wish with our gifts and abilities, but a day will come when we will have to give an account of how we used what God gave us. Since God gave each of us our talents, He demands that we give account to Him of how we used them. That means how we use our talents in life right now becomes a much more serious matter. It might behoove us to think more carefully about how we intend to use what God has given us.
The problem is we believe we have all the time in the world to use our talents for God. If we're not using them in a God-pleasing way right now, there is still time left for us to change course. There is always time.
That might have been what the man with one talent was thinking. "I'll bury the talent right now, but I'll do something with it later." He wasn't sure when his master would return and so he procrastinated. The day for him to do something with the talent he had buried never came to pass. His master returned and demanded an accounting. The day of reckoning had come.
At that point, it was too late for him to change course or do anything with the talent. There wasn't any time left. He had to tell his master what he had done with the talent. Our text tells us that the master was displeased. He wasn't at all happy with his servant.
The point is we don't have all the time in the world. We need to make wise use of our gifts and abilities while we have the time. We need to use them in a way that brings glory to our Lord. That's the reason He gave them to us in the first place.
We only get one chance at this. There is no going back to change what we've done. The day we stand before God Almighty is final. That's it. No more game of life to play. The game is over. No more opportunity to go back and change how we used our gifts and abilities. So it's essential that we use them as God would have us use them right now.
Just think of the remorse we've experienced by not being able to go back and change something we've done. Do we want to experience that remorse on the Last Day? I certainly don't. So let's make good use of the time we have by using our talents in a God-pleasing way which won't cause us any remorse down the road.
If we haven't been using the gifts and abilities God has given us, let's start now. We can change the course were on. It's not too late.
If we have regrets about how we used or didn't use our gifts and abilities in the past, we can turn to the Lord for forgiveness. His forgiveness is the only real cure for regret. We know we can't go back and change what we did; we can only trust in the Lord's forgiveness. His forgiveness covers our mistakes of the past which we hope will not prevent us from entering God's kingdom.
Jesus went to the cross to wash away all of our sins. If He hadn't done that, none of us would have a chance to enter heaven, and the sins of our past would cling to us forever. But praise God that's not how it works. Jesus went to the cross for the express purpose of forgiving our sins, to give us another chance.
Jesus rose from the dead to prove to us that our sins can't keep us in the grave. We too will rise like He did. Our sins won't hold us back. So there is hope even though we haven't been faithful with God has given us.
Now we have the opportunity to use our gifts and abilities for God's glory. I hope we won't let such an opportunity slip through our fingers. We can do good things for our Lord with the time we have remaining in our lives. Just think how much of a blessing we can be to others when our talents are put to use for God's glory.
I think there are some of us who realize this. That's evident in our service for the Lord in the church, in our workplace, at home. We are using the gifts and abilities God has given us for His glory. Let me make it clear that we can make good use of our talents outside the church. Some feel bad that they don't do enough here in the church. However, God may be using our talents for His glory in places other than here. And that's wonderful. What we do outside the church may affect others and bring them into the church. God's using our talents as a testimony to His goodness and possibly as a way to spread the Gospel.
That's why it's important to use our talents for His glory. When we don't, we bring disgrace on His name. Whether we like it or not, we are His representatives here on earth. People are watching us, and believe me, are quick to condemn Christians when they do the slightest thing wrong. So conscious of this fact, we have to watch how we use our gifts and abilities.
I encourage us to give thanks to God for all the gifts and abilities He has given each of us. What we have comes from God. I pray that we will use our talents in a God-pleasing fashion. It's to our benefit and for the benefit of others that we do so. On the Last Day we all will have to give an account of what we've done with what God has given us. If we use what He has given us for His glory, we will have nothing to be ashamed of.

Ag Day at the Capital
Hundreds of Ohio Farm Bureau members came to Columbus to discuss current political issues and meet with lawmakers during the organizations annual Ag Day at the Capital. Here are some highlights from the event:
In our 15-minute conversation, the vast majority of the time was spent talking about what we as individuals, families, community members, agricultural producers and landowners do to promote agriculture and understanding of ag issues. This allows Farm Bureau as an organization and individuals to approach our elected officials with a high level of credibility and passion for our industry and society. ~ Trumbull County Farm Bureau member Gary Smallsreed describing his Ag Day experience in a column in the Warren Tribune Chronicle.
Its important for you to be involved in the process. We will make a decision. And we do that every day on your behalf. Its important that we know what you think about it. ~ Ohio Sen. Bob Peterson, a former Ohio Farm Bureau president
While the work that makes me a farmer is in Ross County, the work that makes me a farmer advocate is in Columbus, at least for today. ~ Ohio Farm Bureau President Steve Hirsch

The Los Angeles Kings have signed unrestricted free agent defenseman Jeff Schultz to a deal. He had no goals, three assists and 12 penalty minutes in 26 games with the Washington Capitals last season. The Kings announced the deal Friday as the NHL's free agency period began. Schultz has spent his entire NHL career with the Capitals, with 11 goals, 64 assists and 133 penalty minutes in 399 games. He was drafted by the team in the first round of the 2004 NHL entry draft. During the 2011 playoffs, Schultz set a league postseason record by being on the ice for 119 consecutive minutes without his team being scored upon.

Food Worth Flying For: Cream Tea at Bedruthan Steps
That croissant in Paris. The char kway teow in Singapore. That cup of hot chocolate in Perugia. This is Food Worth Flying For. In this new series, Jaunted's contributors share the foods they'd gladly fly around the world for (and probably already have).
An excellent cream tea relies on several factors. Is the jam fresh and are the scones (pronounced like 'scawns') served warm? Is the clotted cream Cornish-style, with a golden butterfat crust? Is the ramekin heaped with it? That fact that it's called Cornish clotted cream is the first indicator of quality; it's under a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), meaning it must be made in Cornwall to use the term, much like the rules for French champagne.
As you can probably tell, I can be pretty demanding when it comes to this simple mid-day snack, and it's mostly due to my experience at an unassuming National Trust cafe tucked into a small stone cottage, next to the visitor parking lot along the cliffs at Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps, near Newquay in Cornwall.

Little Red Announces Long Goodbye, with Final Flights in September 2015
Well, it was lovely while it lasted. After 1.5 years of flying, Virgin Atlantic's regional subsidiary Little Red is calling it quits. The goodbye will be a long one, however; the airline won't send its last A320 into the UK skies until September of 2015, making its total lifespanfrom launch in April 2013 to close in September 201529 months.
Issues contributing to the demise include too much point-to-point travel versus connecting to Virgin Atlantic long-hauls from London, and too few slots to truly compete with British Airways on the routes. Both of these reasons go against the whole goal of starting Little Red, which was to offer travelers connecting flight service from other UK town into the Virgin Atlantic long-haul jets in London, and to offer "consumer choice on key domestic services after British Airways' takeover of bmi gifted them a monopoly on these routes."

Scottish Scenery and Mountain Biking Make for One Seriously Sweet Video
Drop everything and watch this. Do not be put off by the video's 7.5-minute length; it is worth every moment. You see, pro trials cyclist Danny Macaskill puts his biking skillz to the test over waterfalls, cliffs, sharp ridges, andnot even kiddingmountain peaks in the clouds around his home region, Scotland's Isle of Skye.
The premise is simple, and thusly laid out by the video's brief description:
For the first time in one of his films Danny climbs aboard a mountain bike and returns to his native home of the Isle of Skye in Scotland to take on a death-defying ride along the notorious Cuillin Ridgeline.

Always Wanted to Drive the 'Top Gear' Test Track? This is Your Lucky Day
Fun fact: BBC's Top Gear is the most popular automotive show in history, broadcasting in about 170 different countries. Hundreds of millions of people tune in and watch the ragtag trio of presenters race, destroy cars, and chide each other in the process every week, so there is a pretty good chance you're one of those fans. If so, good news! The Top Gear Test Track is now open to the public, for a price of course.
That's right. You can drive on the same track at Dunsfold Park (near Guildford in Surrey) where they do most of their tests and challenges, visit the Top Gear TV Studio, and catch a glimpse of that looming Boeing 747 in the process. The Top Gear Track Experience, as it's called, offers 8 different options ranging from the "Star In a Reasonably Priced Car" timed laps to off-roading in a Land Rover Defender.

Why the UK Will Turn Off the Lights on Landmarks August 4
Travelers to the United Kingdom will be in for a surprise next Monday, August 4, when the country suddenly turns off the lights.
The Telegraph explains:
The Houses of Parliament, Blackpool Illuminations and Tower Bridge will go dark on August 4 to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War.
They are among hundreds of sites taking part in Lights Out, a Government-backed project aiming to achieve a nationwide switch-off from 10-11pm – the hour in which Britain declared itself at war with Germany 100 years ago.
The Foreign Office will leave a single lamp burning in a room overlooking the Cenotaph, and another in a room overlooking St James's Park. The inspiration for the event is the remark made by Sir Edward Grey, foreign secretary, on August 3 1914.
Knowing that war was imminent, he gazed out at gas lamps being lit in St James's Park and said: "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."

A Complete Look at Virgin Atlantic's Hotly High Style Vivienne Westwood Uniforms
The Virgin Atlantic look is sharp, iconic, sizzling; there's no denying the head-turning appeal of a crisp white blouse tucked into a scorching red pencil skirt, topped off with red heels. But, with the celebration of the airline's 30th Anniversary this year, it's about that time for a snazzy refresh so as to continue "flying in the face of ordinary," as the airline's slogan goes. For this, Virgin Atlantic paired with UK designer and punk powerhouse Vivienne Westwood. The new uniforms were just unveiled July 1 in London, and will roll out for all Virgin Atlantic staff, from cabin crew to flight crew, and desk agents to Clubhouse hospitality.
Alas, a flash of the new uniform as it swishes down the airplane aisle isn't enough to appreciate the detail. Aside from the fact that it's now easier to care for with a new tech "nano finish" (the earlier uniform was dry clean only) and yarn made from recycled plastic bottles, there are small secrets hidden in every dart and under each lapel, telling the story of the collaboration between England's flag-carrying airline and one of the country's most iconic fashion influences.
Although the uniforms don't officially take flight for the entire Virgin Atlantic fleet until September 1, keep an eye out for a preview on your next VS flight; crew have been heading to the airline's Base near Gatwick Airport to pick up their full looks since this past weekend. Here's what to look for:

Terror Warning Means Your Smartphone and Shoes Are More Suspicious Than Ever
Very quickly - before we get to the travel news in this post - can we just make a simple request? As you're about to read, airport security is getting bumped up across the world. This happened just as the 4th of July weekend kicked off. So things are going to be hectic enough without you idiots grinding checkpoints to a halt by trying to smuggle actual, real life, exploding fireworks on board airplanes. For fuck's sake.
Now that that's out of the way.
As we told you last Monday, various branches of the U.S. intelligence community have concluded that Yemen-linked jihadists, operating out of Syria, may be plotting to take down American and European airliners. The scheme would involve terrorists with Western passports slipping through security armed with a new generation of undetectable explosives. We suggested you might soon be seeing enhanced screening procedures.

How to Get Tickets to the 2014 Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace
A little riddle for you: What costs $35 per person, doesn't allow you to take photographs, and is gold all over? Ding ding dingthe State Rooms at London's Buckingham Palace, which opens very soon for their annual round of public tours. To be specific, the Queen's address will accept visitors from July 26 - September 28, 2014.
As we've experienced in past years, travelers to London will be clamoring to get in, not only to tread on the Queen's lush carpets and gawk at heirlooms, but to view this year's exhibition on "The Royal Childhood" and what it's like to grow up living in a palace.
Tickets for walk-ups will be rare to nonexistent, so going online for guaranteed tix is the best route. Here's how to do it:

Only Good News for Travelers Looking to Keep Gadgets On During Flights
Nearly two months after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a directive allowing air travelers to use personal electronic devices (PEDs) from gate-to-gate, the rest of the world is finally beginning to follow along.
British Airways yesterday became the first international airline to declare gadgets safe for use throughout entire flights, even during take-off and landings, and without the wait for the airplane to reach 10,000 feet.
This is not something the airline has just up and done on its own; BA secured clearance for the change from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) after passing safety tests. Expect more such news from European airlines in 2014, as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is next to relax gadget rules on flights.

Google Maps Goes to Gatwick Airport in Its Most Ambitious European Project Yet
It's been only a couple of years since Google Maps made the leap into airports, mapping the inside of - depending on what kind of a day we're having - either our favorite or absolutely least favorite places in the world. Since then the Mountain View kids have not only expanded their airport offerings, but have even gone inside actual airplanes 'waiting' on the tarmac. What's left to do?
Do more and go bigger, obviously. TechCrunch reports that Gatwick Airport has become the newest location to receive Google's 360 degree panoramic Street View treatment. The UK airport - the second busiest in the country - is now apparently open to virtual touring. It only required stitching together 2,000 overlapping photos, matching the results to the airport's actual layout, and uploading everything. Piece of cake.
