We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
Insurance protects your finances when something unexpected happens by, for example, paying you if your home is damaged by fire or meeting your medical bills if you unexpectedly fall ill.
The amount of money you pay for insurance is called the premium. Insurers set their premiums so they will have a big enough pool of money to pay out all the claims, cover their costs and earn a profit.
Insurers look at the information you give them. They use this to estimate how likely you are to claim. They also check how often other people in similar situations have claimed before. They then decide what premium to charge you. If the risk of you claiming on insurance looks higher than average, the insurer may do one of the following things:
To assess the risk of you claiming, insurers will ask you questions.
With health insurance| or life insurance|, they may want to see your medical reports or ask you to have a medical examination. The insurer, not you, pays for medical reports and examinations.
If you don't answer the questions fully and truthfully, the insurer may refuse to pay out if you make a claim later on.
You don't have to agree to medical reports or examinations, but if the insurer doesn't have enough information to assess your application, they may refuse to cover you.
The insurance market is competitive and premiums vary from one insurer to another. So it's important to shop around, especially if you have a medical condition. Insurers call this having a pre-existing medical condition. An insurance broker can help you compare deals from different companies.
To find an insurance broker, contact the British Insurance Brokers' Association|.
If you've had cancer or you're living with cancer, you can sometimes face higher premiums, special conditions or refusal when buying life insurance and some types of health insurance.
This includes policies that have a health insurance element, such as travel insurance.
You shouldn't have problems getting insurance unrelated to health – for example, home insurance. If you do, contact our financial guides| on 0808 808 00 00 for information about making a complaint.
Close relatives (children, brothers and sisters) of people with cancer may also find it hard to get life and health insurance on standard terms. This is because, in a small number of cases, people whose close relatives have had cancer may be at a higher than average risk of getting the same cancer.
When talking to insurers, you may be asked some difficult or upsetting questions about your health, for example about the likely outcome of your cancer (prognosis). Unfortunately, not all insurers are sensitive to the needs of people affected by cancer.
Depending on how you feel about talking about your cancer, you may want to contact only a couple of companies at a time.
Alternatively, you could contact an insurance broker who will do the research for you.
Cancer is classed as a disability under the Equality Act 2010 (England, Scotland and Wales) and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (Northern Ireland). These acts make it illegal to treat people less favourably because of a disability, but there is an exception for insurance.
An insurer can treat a person with a disability differently if the disability increases the risk of claiming, but only if:
If challenged, the insurer will have to provide evidence to show that it has met these conditions.
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.
To speak to a financial guide, call free (Monday to Thursday 9am-5pm, Friday 9am-4.30pm).
We're campaigning for a better deal for people affected by cancer.

I have one receptacle string in my house where two GFCIs are wired, in series. Is that a problem?
In theory two in series should provide at least as much protection as having just on on the first receptacle in the string. But is there a chance that the two could somehow "synchronize/resonate" and end up not tripping or significantly delaying power shutoff? Why do I have two GFCIs in a string and not just one on the first receptacle in the string? Because previous owner had already put a GFCI in the bathroom - which is somewhere midway in the string - and yesterday when I put GFCIs in the 1st receptacle of every string I saw no reason to bother reverting the bathroom GFCI to a regular receptacle. BTW, I tested the protection at every receptacle by taking some current from the hot(black) wire and routing it through a 25W light bulb to the neutral(white) of another circuit to create an actual leakage. I noticed that for those receptacles that are after both GFCIs, both GFCIs tripped when I tested with the light bulb. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not a problem with doing this. However the one that will trip may not be the one closest to the fault. Jim |
- Posted by terribletom (My Page) on Sat, Aug 30, 08 at 16:51
Yep, and your test demonstrated the biggest problem with this approach: potential for confusion. When a GFCI trips, which outlet had the problem? Which GFCI tripped? Or worse, which combination of GFCI(s)? GFI receptacle manufacturers must love it. How many times have we seen posts in this forum that begin something like this: My [garage/bathroom/basement/take your pick] GFI outlet tripped and I tried resetting it. I couldn't get it to work so I went to Home Depot and bought a new one. The new one doesn't work either. Why is my outlet still dead? If I'm putting more than one GFI outlet on the same circuit (and there are some cases where that makes sense), I prefer to avoid wiring to the second one to the load side of the first one wherever feasible. |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Sat, Aug 30, 08 at 18:13
why not just take the original 1st outlet and put it where the 2nd GFCI is now? |
Or feed the hot line to the "line" terminals of both GFCI receptacles. That way they are not actually in series. |
- Posted by Steve(email@example.com) onTue, Feb 15, 11 at 20:28
I wasted two hours today trying to replace 2 reg outlets with 2 gfci's. The 2 outlets are on either side of the sink and then the circuit continues on to another outlet and then the microwave. There's a 20 A breaker at the board so I bought 20 amp gfci's. I wired them in the holes for behind wiring and could nor get them to work no matter how I wired them. What am I missing? |

Album review
LL Cool J - 10
The numerical milestone has inspired LL's best album since 1987's Bigger And Deffer. Predominant are five tracks produced by the Neptunes, who again demonstrate their genius. The woozy post-psychedelic backing they provide on "Luv U Better" is worthy of My Bloody Valentine. Their example seems to have raised LL's game: the album varies from blissful pop ("Paradise") to warped fantasies ("Lollipop") which at times outweird even the Neptunes. He sounds like an older, equally powerful brother to Jay-Z: hear his roars against the choral sample on "10 Million Stars" contrasted with the claustrophobic whispers on "Mirror Mirror".

World 9: World War III
September 7, 2009 in World 009 News
for the sake of simplicity, I will keep my regular dialogue short. There is one thing, and only one thing that has been uttered out of the many mouths of World 9 for the past week- war. As I last stated, DNS and the RAW family have declared war on each other, finalized in a statement on the forums by the duke of DNS. In this standard blog edition I bring forth into the light the events of this past week, mostly the war stats. Added onto new backgrounds is the newest edition of interviews, brand-new features, and the return of commentaries on the nobling map.
And, of course, the greatest improvement in the last two weeks, you now only have to click a button once to move, and the weeks' theme for music is Lord of the Rings- showcasing several beautiful pieces by Howard Shore for the trilogy.
Without further a due, The Blog:

Including 400 Days.
Episode 2 for me
Including 400 Days.
Episode 2 for me
Torn between episode 2, 5, and 400 Days.
2 and 5 were the most shocking episodes and 400 days was good because the characters and script was very well written.
So I don't think I'll vote until I solve my crisis.
Episode 5, for me it was the most badass, and the saddest of them all, I like all of them, I just like 5 for making me feel like a baby once again.
Episode 3. Lots of character story arcs ended, and many were introduced. Not to mention the fact that we permanently left the main location from the past two episodes, which was a welcome change in my opinion.
The episode was full of shock moments (Doug/Carley's death, Duck's bite) and was written very well. Despite being gloomy, episode 3 was also one of the funniest episodes.
Episode awards:
Best: Episode 2
Funniest: 400 Days
Worst: Episode 1
Those Feels: Episode 5
Most Deaths: Episode 3
Most Suprising: Episode 4
@Cany0udance said: Episode awards:

2 for many reasons. It also made me feel somewhat sorry for a damn cannibal. That's good writing right there.
I am torn between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Episode 3 was good with how much it moved along the story and some character deaths and introducing some cool characters- Chuck, Omid and Christa
I liked Episode 4 with how much action it had and the shocking ending with Lee getting bit and Clem getting kidnapped

– Wilhelm Eberhard
These coins are the equivalent of manipulation cards. They are very easy to back palm. For example, you can backpalm 4, produce 3 of them one by one, like cards, and thumb palm the 4th when apparently allowing it to fall in the hat, during a miser dream routine. Other characteristics: They are awesome for anything requiring you to conceal large amounts of coins and are very shinny and noisier than normal coins when they hit a hard surface, so they are great for stage work. If you don't want the coins to "talk", you can cover them with a wide adhesive tape. The tape is invisible on the coins, reduces the noise and makes the coins less slippery. Drawbacks: The coins are not good for tricks that require heavy coins and they do not stick to magnets. These would be the ultimate manipulation coins, if they'd be ferromagnetic and the set would include at least one golden and one cooper coin, for changes. Finally, I think they would look better with some heraldic emblem, or some mysterious hieroglyphs (the Eye of Rah, for example) or Arabic calligraphy, instead of the Hank Magic logo. Such ancient designs are copyright free, and would look great on coins to use for magic tricks.

Transgender Model Andreja Pejić Launches Documentary Kickstarter Campaign - VIDEO
Supermodel Andreja Pejić, who recently came out as a transgender woman, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a feature-length documentary on her life.
Pejić, an Australian national originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, spent time in a refugee camp near Belgrade during the Bosnian War.
The documentary Andrej(a) "will explore gender politics in-depth around the globe, and the beauty industry and its attitude towards diversity, will be a focal point."
Writing on Kickstarter, Pejić explains:
"I hope that by sharing my humanity, pain, tears, laughter, joy, and biggest struggles on film, it will shed light on what it means to live as a transgender individual. I have always believed that differences between people should not equal divisions and I simply want to create something that could help build a bridge between my community and the rest of the world."

When it comes to fashion online, it might be better to think national rather than local.
That appears to be the growing consensus among fashion brands and industry observers as the battle rages on between local-sale sites such as Groupon Inc. and flash-sale ones like Gilt. Right now, it appears the Gilt model is winning.
Groupon certainly is making more news of late — its stock hit an all-time low Thursday, closing at $11.76, a drop of 54.9 percent from its opening price of $26.11 when it went public Nov. 4. The decline follows news of multiple lawsuits over a larger-than-expected net loss last month, while additional factors — such as flaws in the model that fail to provide enough customer information to participating retailers — are leading many to question the fate of "daily deals" in the online arena.
RELATED STORY: Local Deals Can Work for Traditional Media Firms >>
Groupon pioneered the local deal phenomenon in the online space when it launched in 2008, and the company went public five months after its initial public offering filing in June. Ever since then, there has been backlash, controversy and speculation as to whether the brand should have gone public in the first place due to accounting practices that have raised a multitude of questions. But all the hubbub is unlikely to have any effect on the apparel industry, according to experts.
Sucharita Mulpuru, online and multichannel retail analyst at Forrester Research, said fashion isn't a significant classification in the local-sale space because it's challenging for brick-and-mortar retailers to generate a profit from this type of online deal — while the flash-sale model lends itself more to this category.
"I had a conversation with a mom-and-pop shop [recently], and they just don't have the margins [to partake in a local deal]. It's too rich of a cut that Groupon takes. From the get-go it's a nonstarter. I certainly haven't heard of anyone getting a tremendous amount of success from offering them," Mulpuru said.
She explained that, if a retailer partners with a company such as Groupon, it is looking at a 50-50 split of an item at a 50 percent discount — and with margins that are "50 percent at best, it's really hard to make that work, especially if you think of lifetime value and future customers. "
Mulpuru added that, for some of the bigger and more attractive retailers that work with Groupon, the Web site has been willing to compromise with a variable compensation structure.
According to a spokesperson from Groupon, deals on the local-sale site are roughly broken up into the following classifications: 30 percent food and restaurants; 30 percent spa; 30 percent activities and retail, and 10 percent miscellaneous. Any scan of Groupon will tell consumers that retail is a small percentage of the offerings. As a result, one could infer that retail accounts for less than 30 percent of the overall category — perhaps as little as 10 to 15 percent of overall deals.
The company disclosed larger retail brands that performed well include the Gap and Old Navy, with 5,000 and 100,000 deals purchased, respectively. On the more localized level are deals such as ones with boutiques in Englewood, N.J., and multiple locations of Ground Zero Clothing and Boardshop — with total deals listed as "over 1,000." Groupon doesn't reveal final totals of sales, so final units sold might be higher than numbers listed on the site.
At a panel presentation Tuesday at the Daily Deals Summit at the Crown Plaza Times Square in Manhattan on "Making the Deal Model Work," panelists concluded that one of the top problems with daily deal sites is that customer information isn't available to merchants, a critical component of any sale because it allows the small business owner to reconnect with the buyer. That's not true of flash-sale sites where the merchant has the e-mail and shipping information of the customer.
There are other flaws in the daily deal model that are not inherent in the flash-sale model.

Voiced by: | Sherman Howard |
The Preserver was an alien creature that ran a cosmic zoo which housed the rarest creatures in existence: each was the last of its kind. Once, he hired Lobo to capture Superman, the last Kryptonian. However, after getting Superman, he betrayed Lobo and captured him as well since Lobo was the last Czarnian.
There is no information about how the Preserver decided to become a preserver of species. However, for centuries he had taken it upon himself to capture and preserve the last of every species in his cosmic zoo. This mission led him to go from planet to planet so that he could find and save as many species as possible. On occasion he had visited Earth to preserve species from that planet as well.
Superman and Lobo
The Preserver mostly made it a point to capture and contain only non-sentient beings, however, he was not above capturing sentients if they were the very last of their planets. At some point in time, the Preserver had learned that in spite of the fact that Krypton was destroyed, there was a survivor: Superman. Looking to preserve the last Kryptonian he called upon Lobo: the last Czarnian to capture him. After Lobo managed to bring Superman into capturing range, the Preserver betrayed him and placed him into his Zoo as well.
A very knowledgeable being, the Preserver studied the weaknesses of his "exhibits" and exploited them, keeping Superman under a red sun lamp and Lobo with robots that would discharge a gas capable of canceling his strength. He refused to release his prisoners claiming that because they were the last beings from their home worlds their place was there in his zoo. However, the Preserver hadn't counted on his new exhibits coming up with an escape plan.
After Superman and Lobo escaped, the Preserver sent out security probes to capture them. These probes were armed with non lethal weapons used to force the exhibits back to their enclosures. However, after the probes were destroyed, the Preserver grew angry and apparently forgot about his mission to preserve the species. He dropped Superman and Lobo into a pit with a giant snake-like creature that attempted to eat them.
When the duo managed to escape, the Preserver enlisted the aid of Lobo's rival Gnaww to capture them. However, even after it became apparent that Gnaww and his gang intended to kill, not capture their targets the preserver did nothing.
Finally deciding that he'd have to subdue and capture Lobo and Superman himself, the Preserver went to wait for them in the South Hangar where their vehicles were stored. Upon Lobo's arrival the Preserver ordered him to return to his enclosure, but when Lobo refused he transformed into a more powerful being. Apparently losing all desire to preserve both Superman and Lobo, the Preserver attacked them with lethal force, even trying to impale Superman on his claws. However, during the fight with Superman Lobo managed to open the hangar doors and the Preserver was sucked out into the vacuum of space.
Powers and abilities
In his untransformed state, the Preserver was a being capable of defying gravity. He would travel by floating around in the air by no visible means of doing so. He was also capable of generating a force field around his body that repelled an attack from Lobo but there was no indication if this was of his own ability or a device.
After transforming, the Preserver seemingly lost his ability to levitate but gained massive strength and invulnerability. His strength level was on par with that of Superman as he was able to fight him to a virtual standstill, but in spite of his greater size, his strength didn't appear to be that much greater than that of his enemy.

First, the good: Nancy Tieken is back. A gifted curator and art historian and one of the greatest benefactors in the history of the DAM, Tieken had been an adjunct curator before leaving town a couple of years ago. At the time, she told me she'd return if the museum expanded. True to her word, with the expansion in the bag, she's rejoined the DAM staff, this time with the title of associate curator.
Since the position is a new one, created specifically for Tieken, she's not replacing anyone. This is an important detail because Tieken's return has nothing -- I repeat, nothing -- to do with the bad news: the departure of Jane Fudge, the department's longtime assistant curator, who in recent years has been in charge of the DAM's photography collection, an interdepartmental entity. Fudge, who was set to retire on June 15, was forced out of her office last month and is completing her work from home.
It's unclear why Fudge, the consummate company gal and loyal DAM foot soldier, has been treated in this shabby way, especially since her much-anticipated swan song, Colorado Masters of Photography, is set to open at the beginning of June. But if Fudge was hurriedly given the bum's rush out the door, Michael Johnson, who has long been standing in the wings, was just as hurriedly put in her place. Queries concerning Selections From the Michael and Judy Ovitz Collection, a photo show about which little is known and for which there was not much prior notice (I learned on May 1 that the show had opened on April 29), are already being directed to Johnson. The Ovitz show is on the seventh floor, which used to be partly devoted to the Wolf Collection of turn-of-the-century photographs. The seventh-floor photo gallery was one of two areas Fudge was formerly charged with administering; the other was the Merage Gallery in the Stanton rooms.
Certainly, there is no one, and especially not me, who would expect an official museum explanation for Fudge's hasty retreat -- at least not one I'd believe. Public-relations people claim (convincingly) that they learned about it after members of the media did, and that they have no idea why it happened. Fudge isn't talking, either. As for whoever was behind the clumsy affair, there is one lingering question: Would it have harmed anyone to let Fudge quietly retire on her own schedule? Six weeks isn't much to ask after so many years of distinguished service.
Other questions include whether Johnson will administer the photo collection at all. And if so, will he oversee both the historic photos, like those in the Wolf Collection, and the modern and contemporary photos, as Fudge did, or will the collection be split up? If the historic photos are separated from the modern and contemporary ones, where will they wind up? Surely, by definition, they don't belong in the painting and sculpture department, the only other DAM division that is even remotely relevant.
We'll have to wait and see.
If the photographic horizons at the DAM are presently clouded, a tiny, if intense, ray of light has appeared in a newish place devoted to the medium, the modest Aperture Gallery, which opened without fanfare last fall. Launched by transplanted Midwesterner Matthew Ryan, Aperture didn't pop up on the city's art radar at first. With more than a hundred shows being presented simultaneously somewhere in the greater Denver area, it's hard to rise above the crowd, especially as the new kid on the block -- and one hawking material by unknown artists.
Ryan obviously recognized this fact and decided to do something about it. Instead of obscure talents, he booked a show by a known quantity, a name people would recognize. The result is the densely installed and visually rich John Bonath: selected images 1970-2000. And you know what? It worked. People are starting to notice Aperture.
The gallery, in northwest Denver, is the product of Ryan's lifelong dream. Born in Chicago and raised in Wheaton, Illinois, Ryan attended New York's Columbia University, where he studied photography for six years. "I took every photo course they taught," he says. After graduating, he returned to Illinois, working nights as a photojournalist and days as a bike messenger. He moved to Denver last year and, with his savings and a lot of physical labor, converted an abandoned building near 32nd Avenue and Tejon Street into Aperture.
Bonath, the subject of Ryan's show, also relocated from the Midwest. Born in Ohio in 1951, Bonath began his art training in the 1970s at the distinguished Cleveland Institute of Art. Later, he earned an MFA at Western Michigan University and in 1978 was hired to teach photography at the Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where he eventually earned tenure. "I built the program, I taught many classes and had many students under my direction," he says.

I was a Corvette geek long before I could drive, now I'm a die-hard AMC fan. Muscle car guy at heart. I believe automotive design reached its pinnacle during the 1960s and my biggest regret is that I wasn't alive for that era.
But look what you drive! you say. Yes, I drive a slow 4-cylinder car with a fartcan on the back. Rice is only a bad thing when you take it seriously. I figure someone's got to keep the rest of us entertained.

The country villages and rolling farmland of the Cotswolds are just a two-hour drive from central London or a two-hour train ride from Paddington Station. The area's upmarket mix of designer boutiques, quaint cottages, and exceptional restaurants attracts weekenders who want an easy-to-reach rural retreat.
From Cheltenham to Bledington
Day 1 The Cotswolds region is small enough to make any town your base, but because trains arrive in Cheltenham every half-hour, it's the perfect starting point. (Buy your train ticket online at nationalrail.co.uk before arriving in England, and pay $72 less for your trip north. Keep in mind the deal is invalid if you pick the ticket up at the station, so be sure to arrange to have it sent to your hotel.) Style-conscious urbanites will love the Big Sleep, an alternative to pricier spots like the Cotswold House and Cowley Manor. The rooms have whimsical accents such as Panton chairs and Orla Kiely patterned wallpaper. Take the afternoon to drive west, past the pretty village of Bibury, to check out the Village Pub, a B&B that doubles as a gastropub and is adorned with a mishmash of old wooden chairs and large Oriental rugs. It's laid-back and understated, except for the food: expect imaginative dishes such as grilled John Dory with braised octopus, chickpeas, tomato, and oregano.
Days 2–3 Head southwest to the market town of Tetbury and check into the family-friendly Priory Inn, with modern touches, like simple American black walnut desks, in its 14 mocha-hued rooms. A few steps away, Michael and Sarah Bedford run the no-frills Chef's Table. From its op

Berlin has cold-war mystique, ambitious contemporary architecture, and booming gallery and restaurant scenes. With its cosmopolitan, east-meets-west edginess, it's no wonder the city has become the cultural capital of central Europe; a destination that continues to attract creative types and in-the-know travelers.
Day 1 Stay in the fashionable Mitte ("middle") district, since it's convenient to major sites including the Reichstag and Potsdamer Platz. The boutique hotel Lux 11 is an option, with 72 minimalist rooms and an Ulf Haines concept store, or there's the newly expanded Schoenhouse Apartments, which is set around a secluded courtyard and has a modern café to match its 50 studios and apartments. Have lunch at nearby Leo Bettini, and order the signature Knödel (German dumplings) before browsing Mitte's many boutiques, including Bioladen, the organic-food store found throughout the city. This is where shoppers stock up on Weleda and Dr. Hauschka body products—about 30 percent cheaper in Germany. At night, check out the lively pub Schwarzwaldstuben, filled with mismatched furniture, and try the Schweinschnitzel or ravioli-like Maultaschen with a Rothaus beer.
Day 2 Begin at the city's 543-acre park, the Tiergarten, in the city center, walking along the shaded paths to wind up at the Brandenburg Gate; then turn right for New York architect Peter Eisenman's Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a haunting field of concrete pillars. Not far away is Kunst-Werke (69 Auguststrasse; 49-30/243-4590;

Stay: The poet Shelley used to rent the top floor of what is now the Natale family's friendly and comfortable Hotel Navona, hidden on a quiet side street just a block from Piazza Navona in the heart of Rome. If it's full, the Natales will book you into their elegant Residence Zanardelli annex in a Liberty-style Art Nouveau building nearby.
Eat: Soccer players, Hollywood stars, famous artists, and locals from the neighborhood all line up outside Pizzeria da Baffetto to wait patiently for a table to open up in the crammed rooms of one of Rome's most stalwart traditional pizzerie: open only at dinner (only tourists eat pizza at lunch), with a limited menu (pizza, bruschetta, packaged desserts) and low prices. Even with a bottle or two of wine, it's impossible to spend more than $30 a head.
Do: Rome has more than 900 churches, all of them free, displaying great works of Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture by the likes of Raphael, Bernini, Caravaggio, Bramante, Pinturricchio, and Annibale Carracci—and that's just the shortlist of artists contained in one church, the little-visited Santa Maria del Popolo, located on the north side of the Piazza del Popolo. According to legend, it was built to exorcise the ghost of Nero from a copse of trees.
Affordable Travel Tip: The Vatican Museums are free on the last Sunday of each month—though every local resident and school group takes advantage of this fact, so arrive before they open at 8:30 a.m. to keep ahead of the crowds.

Stay: Part of London's most reliable motel chain, with 18 locations in all, Premier Inn Southwark offers standardized (if bland) comfort. A short stroll from the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe, the well-located motel is also attached to the historic Anchor Bankside pub, where guests can enjoy full English breakfasts with a view of the Thames.
Eat: In the heart of Covent Garden, waiters dressed as monks scurry around the cavernous basement dining hall of Belgo Centraal serving pots of mussels, platters of spicy sausages with mashed potatoes, and halved spit-roasted chickens, accompanied by Belgian beers. Any one of those dishes, plus a drink, costs $13 until 5:30 p.m.; another (limited) menu, good between 5 and 6:30 p.m., lets you pay whatever the clock reads when you order.
Do: It's common knowledge that many of London's greatest museums-the British Museum, V&A, National Gallery, Tate Modern-don't charge admission, but don't overlook some lesser-known freebies like the free lunchtime concerts at St-Martin-in-the-Fields church or the wonderfully hodgepodge collection of art and ancient sculpture in the wildly Victorian private house-museum of Sir John Soane.
Affordable Travel Tip: London's best buy is the Oyster Card, a kind of public transportation debit card that brings the per-ride price on London buses and subways down from $8 to just $3 or $4—or get it "charged" with an unlimited $48 weeklong TravelCard, which pays for itself after just six rides. It also offer

Stay: From the grotto-like breakfast room to the duplex junior-suites under mansard roofs, the 29-room Hôtel de la Bretonnerie is a sampler catalogue of French fashions. Guest quarter décor ranges from cozy canopy beds and rustic exposed beams to elegant Empire-style furnishings to exotic Indochine appointments. No room will be accused of being spacious, but all are comfortable, the Sagot family's management is friendly, and the setting is hard to beat a classic 17th-century hôtel in the heart of the Marais, a few blocks from the Pompidou and Picasso Museum and a 15-minute stroll from Notre-Dame.
Eat: Paris's temples of fine dining at reasonable prices are its brasseries, a cross between a café and a restaurant where simple dishes start around $20. Traditionally brasserie menus lean heavily on German-influenced Alsatian cuisine, hence the signature dish, choucroutes (tangy sauerkraut, usually served with sausages and pork) and the preponderance of beer over wine (brasserie means "brewery"). Which brasserie is best is hotly disputed, but two favorites remain the 144-year-old Bofinger, all Belle Epoque elegance and chaotic activity, and the more intimate and relaxed Left Bank bastion Balzar.
Do: Become a museum VIP and waltz right past the long lines with the Paris Museum Pass. It costs $45 for two days, $70 for four days, or $95 for six days; covers all admission fees (except special exhibits); and lets you bypass the lines at 40 top sights in Paris and 21 more in the surrounding region, from the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay to Versailles and Fontainebleau (pretty much everything except the Eiffel Tower).

Western Ireland
Stay: Man of Aran was an acclaimed 1934 movie about life on Inishmore, chief of the Aran Islands, known worldwide for its thick wool sweaters. The traditional thatched cottage used in the film is now a country-comfy B&B with views of the water and stellar meals prepared with fresh ingredients from owners Joe and Maura Wolfe's organic garden. It is but one of 1,100 B&B's across Ireland in the excellent Town & Country catalogue.
Eat: In just a decade, Ireland's booming economy has taken it from a rural backwater to a sophisticated country that has surpassed Scandinavia for highest cost of living in Europe. In a place where pizza costs $18 and main dishes start at $30, the key to hearty meals that won't break the bank is pub grub; entrées start around $10. Smuggler's Creek Inn, a stone cottage with picture windows on Rossnowlagh Beach below, has been in continuous operation as a pub since 1845. It blends Irish tradition—a turf fire, upended barrels as tables—with an award-winning menu of innovative dishes such as lemongrass risotto with Atlantic prawns and roast monkfish with garlic and fennel.
Do: Avoid the tour bus-clogged Ring of Kerry for its neighbor to the North, County Clare, home to the dramatic Cliffs of Moher rising more than 700 feet from the crashing Atlantic waves; the weirdly eroded limestone landscape of the Burren, where prehistoric slab tombs perch on the rocky flatlands like miniature houses of cards; and Doolin, a blink-and-you-missed-it village that has become an unlikely mecca for traditional Celtic music, its pubs often crammed with music lovers listening to top
Alessandro Saffo/Grand Tour/Corbis Stay: The iconic architecture of Apulia—the "heel" of Italy's boot—is the prehistoric trullo, a cylindrical whitewashed house with a cone-shaped roof of stacked gray stones. There's no greater concentration of trulli than in the UNESCO-protected town of Alberobello, where whole neighborhoods are made of the structures—and the local entrepreneur behind Trullidea has fixed up dozens of the abandoned ones and rents them to visitors. Cool in the baking summers and with cozy fireplaces for wintertime, a rental trullo lets you live like a local for less than the cost of a tourist-class hotel in town. Eat: The Osteria del Tempo Perso ("Inn of Lost Time") is squirreled into cavelike rooms off one of the many narrow alleys in Ostuni, a hilltop cluster of whitewashed buildings nicknamed The White City. Beneath walls adorned with farm tools, you can dig into such Pugliese specialties as orecchiette ("little ears" pasta) with wilted turnip greens ($13), the tegamino di funghi cardoncelli (a mushroom stew backed under a puffy cap of bread ($9), or a spigola (sea bass) cooked in parchment with clams ($24). Do: Visit the "Florence of the Baroque," the lovely city of Lecce; its unique buildings—many with wild sculptures—are filled with workshops crafting the town's renowned painted papier-mâché saints destined for church altars around the world. Lecce is also the de facto capital of Apulia's southernmost Salento Peninsula, famed for its earthy, powerful Salice Salentino and Primitivo wines. Affordable Travel Tip: Want to sample what the Amalfi Coast was like before the hotshots and high prices moved in? Apulia's forested Gargano Peninsula is popular with sun-loving Italians, but is otherwise refreshingly off the tourist map. Its coast

Stay: The Burg Colmberg is a 14th-century castle straight out of a storybook, rising from a rocky crag above a tiny village. It offers an eclectic collection of rooms tucked throughout a warren of crooked hallways, hidden staircases, and cozy sitting nooks. Ask to see several rooms before choosing, since the décor ranges wildly from full-on medieval to Louis XIV rococo to Chinese Imperial.
Eat: Bavaria is the heartland of simple, rib-sticking dishes heavy on the würstel, potatoes, and sauerkraut-accompanied, of course, by liter-size mugs of beer-and there's no better place to indulge in the cholesterol fest than alongside local residents in the mayor's basement. There's a regional tradition of installing a cozy Ratskeller of communal picnic tables in the keller (cellar) of the local Rathaus (town hall), whether in the tiniest village or the Ratskeller of Munich itself, where you must be sure to order the city's specialty: weisswurst (fat but delicate white sausages)—best when dipped in spicy mustard and sucked right out of their casings.
Do: After your de rigueur visit to the postcard-perfect Cinderella castle of Neuschwanstein, resplendently perched atop its mountain, take the time to tour the castle in which "Mad King" Ludwig II actually lived. Hohenschwangau is a more modest pile of battlements on a smaller nub of a hill in the valley below. What it lacks in the carefully crafted pomp and circumstance of Neuschwanstein—which Ludwig never lived to see completed—it more than makes up for in homeyness and history. It offers a unique window into the daily life of a 19th-century monarch and his quirky Romantic-era urges, among them the story of how the king rescued the composer Richa

The Dalmatian Coast
Stay: Skip the overexposed island of Hvar for the walled medieval village on the Adriatic island of Korcula, purported home to Marco Polo. Korcula is more of a day-trip destination, and that means the tourist crowds thin considerably by sundown, leaving those who remain to relax in the cafés, stroll the narrow alleys, and enjoy the easygoing life of the old town. Don't worry about finding a room; one company has a lock on the five best lodging options in town, including the century-old Hotel Korcula, a seaside villa in the old center with simple but pleasant rooms; book one overlooking the water to catch the sea breezes.
Eat: Though its pricey seaside sister restaurant Nautika gets all the press, Proto is a better choice; it charges half as much for the classic fisherfolk recipes it has been dishing out in the heart of Dubrovnik's old town since 1886. Grab a seat under the beamed ceilings, in the romantic stone alley, or on the shaded roof terrace, and order anything from the sea. It excels at surf—stuffed lobster with risotto, grilled fish, saffron shrimp—but also honors Croatian turf specialties; don't miss Dalmatian smoked ham and olives as an appetizer.
Do: Every old city in Europe has an Old City historic district—but Split has the only downtown actually carved from the carcass of an ancient Roman palace. When the emperor Diocletian split the Roman Empire in A.D. 305, he built a lavish palace on the Croatian coast to live out his days as head of the empire's eastern half. In the 1,700 years since, the ruins of his enormous structure have been colonized by the locals, the buildings turned into medieval town houses, the emperor's tomb transformed into the cathedral, and the mighty brick undercrofting of it all now used as evocative e
Adrien Glover
Stay: The stylish, comfortable Empress Zoe has the quirky, handcrafted intimacy you'd expect from a hotel that stitches together four neighboring town houses to make 25 rooms with embroidered Turkish canopies over the beds, wildly colorful murals, spiral staircases, and odd Ottoman touches like pointed archways sprinkled throughout. Some rooms open onto a private garden, others overlook the romantically overgrown ruins of the city's oldest hammam, its crumbling domes now sprouting wildflowers. From the roof terrace you can glimpse the Marmara Sea past minarets.
Eat: In the heart of the Old Town of Sultanahmet on busy Divanyolu street is a row of restaurants specializing in köfte; the best is the 81-year-old family-run Tarihi Sultanahmet Köftecisi, where locals line up for heavenly smoky plates of grilled meatballs, often served with a lemon-dressed white bean salad ($15). Wash everything down with a carton of ayran, Turkey's national yogurt drink.
Do: Istanbul's major state-run museums charge hefty admissions, but the Great Palace Mosaic Museum, just behind the Blue Mosque adjacent to the Arasta Bazaar, costs only $3. These delightful mosaic scenes of hunts, myths, animal battles, and everyday life in antiquity—boys riding a camel, a man milking his goat, a youth feeding his donkey—once covered the floor of a large courtyard of the Palatium Magnum, the Great Palace built between the time of Constantine the Great himself and Justinian I (4th to early 6th centuries).
Affordable Travel Tip: You can cruise between the continents for $1—plus 30¢ for a glass of tea on board—by catching a local ferry at the Eminönü docks on the Golden Horn and

Lompoc fire investigators are on the lookout for a serial arsonist who may be linked to as many as 30 fires in the last two years.
The most recent fire happened just before 3:30 Saturday morning in the 400 block of South "H" Street in Lompoc.
A man says he woke up and found his Volkswagen bug up in flames.
The incident comes just a week after investigators say a car, boat, and mattress were also destroyed on purpose.
This 1969 Volkwagon bug is the latest target in a series of arson crimes in Lompoc.
"Why personal property? That was my car. That was the first car I ever bought. I just put a carpet kit in it. I had new speakers for it. All that stuff was inside of it. It all got burned up. It's not coming back. I'm not getting it back," said Daryl Garbiso of Lompoc.
The flames, so widespread, they also burnt this man's mini van--parked next to it.
"It melted the hub cap," said Jesus Ruiz of Lompoc.
Cinged the tailight, cracked the rear bumper, and damaged the side bumper totaling a large chunk of change
"That's 2,212 dollars," Ruiz said.
Despite the damage, it's not keeping him off the road. He uses the car everyday to pick up his grandson from school
"I'm glad it's still driveable because that's all I have to drive, Ruiz said.
Just last week, someone set a mattress on fire, which also destroyed a boat and a car nearby.
"It's very evident that they have no regard for life safety and that's our biggest concern is that he's setting fires near inhabited dwellings," said Lompoc Battalion Chief Stan Hart.
Fire investigators say they are looking into one possible suspect and warn Lompoc residents to keep a watchful eye during the late night and early morning hours.
"Especially, lookout at vehicles that are abandoned or in disrepair. These seem to be the targets that he's using," Hart added.
If arrested, the arsonist would likely face felony charges.
