tinkerbell423 says "A super experience for all ages" about New York State Museum - Albany, NY

The New York State Museum in Albany Ny hold a wealth of history. There is something for everyone from the serious to the silly. You will find Birds, Bones and Plenty of History. Be sure to check out the 100 year old carosaul on the top floor. While you are there stop and admire the view of Albany it is amazing. You can wander through a Native American Long House, stand on a subway car, watch Sesame Street in many languages. Other exhibits include dinosaur bones, animals of the Adirondacks, gems and rocks or New York State and fire engines. The Museum also houses an emotional 911 exhibit. Pieces of debris are on display and a video taping of an eye witness account of the event are riviting. If you are traveling with children (even if you're not) check out the Discovery area. Allow plenty of time to explore this area. While it is small it houses many fun and interactive displays. You can touch rocks and fossils or sit in the back area and read books and rest. ...

tinkerbell423 says "OK for the price but I wouldn't buy it again" about Euro-Pro TO140L Toaster Oven

Our toaster of 15 years broke and we needed to replace it. Needless to say we had not looked around at toasters much before purchasing this one. We found the Euro-toaster model number TO140L for $30. It toasts, broils, and can be used on oven setting with temperature controll. You then turn the bottom knob and the timer ticks away while it toasts. It ticks even when it is not plugged in. This really confused us. We would think we were toasting something and it wasn't plugged in but it was ticking away. Once we figured out how to work it we found that the dial was not a good gage of "toastedness" it either came out not toasted enough or burnt. You basically need to stand by the toaster and grab it when it looks done. I find this annoying and often burn the toast. My other issue with the toaster is it takes up a great deal of room on the counter. Overall the toaster does what it needs to do and then price is OK however it is not overly convenient or easy to use.
