Taking the Kids

Pyszka/City of Chicago Chicago's skyline reflects from Chicago's Cloud Gate Sculpture at Millennium Park.Cesar Russ Photography The hardest thing about visiting Chicago is deciding where to take the kids first -- Chicago's famous Lakefront where you can ride bikes and in-line skate, or Lincoln Park where you can visit one of the few free zoos in the country. (Kids especially love the polar bears.) Maybe you want to check out the famous Millennium Park and its sculpture by Anish Kapoor. Some of the best kid-friendly museums in the country are here too. Take time to visit The Chicago History Museum.

You've got to ride the famous 150-foot-high Navy Pier Ferris wheel, which is modeled after the world's first Ferris wheel designed by George W. Shop till you drop on North Michigan Avenue.

Testing

AT&T Account Management. How to Preserve a Halloween Pumpkin. The Experiment The purpose of this experiment was to test the effectiveness of various methods of preserving a carved pumpkin (jack o' lantern).

How to Preserve a Halloween Pumpkin

We gathered some tips from various pumpkin carving resources, and also sampled a commercial spray. The results were observed over a two week period. Cutting and Carving We chose 6 carving pumpkins of approximately the same size, shape and weight (around 2.5 lbs). When prepping the pumpkins for carving, we endeavored to remove as much of the pumpkin pulp as was possible, so the inside flesh of the pumpkin would be dry and provide a uniform surface for topical application of the preservative treatments. As we carved the jack o’ lanterns, we tried to make each one distinctive to allow easier differentiation, but we also attempted to remove a comparable amount of material from each pumpkin and leave a similar area of exposed pumpkin flesh in the excised regions.

Turn any Pen into a Capacitive Stylus for your iPhone and iPad

All you need is a ordinary pen to convert into a stylus. Mobile phones and tablets like the iPad have a capacitive touch screen. That means the screen will only respond to touch commands from human fingers and not the stylus pen that may have come with your old PDA. Touch screen stylus pens are pretty inexpensive and you can easily find them on Amazon.com or Ebay.com for a few bucks. For instance, the Pogo Sketch stylus which is pretty popular among iPhone (and now iPad) users, costs less than $10 and you can even use it with the multi-touch trackpad of your Macbook. That said, if Amazon won’t ship the stylus to your country or if you have some free time, why not make your own stylus that’ll work with iPhone, iPod, iPad and all other capacitive touch screen devices.
