Citi Upgrades JC Penney to Buy
Analysts at Citi Upgraded the rating on JC Penney (JCP) to "Buy" from "Neutral". It raised the price target on JC Penney (JCP) to $11.00 from $7.50 suggesting 30% upside
"We're upgrading JCP to Buy based on our conviction that JCP can continue to deliver positive comp store sales in-line with FY14 guidance (+MSD). We believe this can happen as JCP fixes home, focuses on restocking basics & private branded product, and edits out inappropriate merchandise. Achieving 1Q & FY guidance will mitigate investor fear on liquidity concerns and drive profitability and the stock higher" Citi said in a note to clients.
"We acknowledge that JCP is early in this go-forward phase but we like the risk/reward given our conviction that just making basic changes will support guidance for growth in 2014. We believe 4Q's +2% comps on better conversion, transaction size, & units w/ high levels of customer service bodes well for con't momentum and share gains." it added.
Citi says that the investor fear of JCP's liquidity position is overdone "Investor fears remain on JCP's liquidity position which we believe are overdone as we model working capital to be a source of $150-$200mm in 2014. JCP's 4Q cash balance $1.515bn & total available liquidity stood at $2.024bn. We expect JCP to achieve +MSD comps 2014E, with significant gross margin improvement, yielding ~$2bn end of year liquidity w/ trough position over $1bn (likely 3Q). Each comp point drives +/- $30mm in contribution margin"

Froome ready to celebrateAP Photo
Christopher Froome of Britain, wearing the overall leaders yellow jersey, and his teammate Richie Porte of Australia, right, climb La Croix Fry pass in pouring rain during the 19th stage of the Tour de France on Friday.
LE GRAND-BORNAND, France Chris Froome can already taste the champagne and has only one more day of climbing remaining before mounting the Champs-Elysees podium steps as Britains second consecutive Tour de France winner.
The race leader preserved his comfortable five-minute-plus lead over two-time former champion Alberto Contador on Fridays rainy 19th stage featuring four big climbs and one hair-raisingly fast descent.
Rui Costa won it with a solo breakaway on the final ascent. Froome braced himself for a big Contador attack that never materialized on any of the climbs, nor in the long downhill to the finish line on increasingly wet roads.
I certainly feel a big sigh of relief, Froome said. Today was a day I was nervous about, happy to put it behind us.
Contador is 5:11 behind and has only Saturdays final mountain stage in which to do that, since Sundays 21st and last stage is largely processional.
Its going to be hard for someone to take more than five minutes in 125 kilometers, Froome said. But having said that I dont want to be complacent and want to stay switched on until at least tomorrow evening.
Realistically, only an improbable slump make that impossible, given how hes been riding so far will stop the 28-year old from matching countryman Bradley Wigginss success last year.
I am excited, but quietly excited, Froome said. It is a day where the whole teams going to have to stay alert and control that last stage. One final big effort, then we can start relaxing on the ride into Paris.
Costa secured his second stage win of the race, and third of his career, after catching Frenchman Pierre Roland about a quarter of the way up the final major ascent of Col de la Croix Fry.
German veteran Andreas Kloeden was second and Belgian Jan Bakelants was third.
The 127-mile trek featured two HC climbs and two Category 1 ascents between Bourg-dOisans and Le Grand-Bornand in the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.
Contador was tipped to attack Froome on the downhill stretch, but perhaps because of the rainy conditions, he held back.
Even though there wasnt much attacking, it was really tough out there, Froome said. For us the objective was to stay on the wheel (of the other contenders), Froome said. The team did a huge amount of work today. There are still 125 kilometers to go tomorrow.
Saturdays 20th stage goes 78 miles from Annecy to Annecy-Semnoz and features a Category 1 climb and finishes with an Hors Categorie climb, meaning it is considered so daunting as to be beyond classification.
But Contador will need a miracle to claw back his deficit and may not even go for it.
It all depends on how my legs are tomorrow, Contador said. It depends how I feel.
Froome was not attacked up the first of the two big HC climbs to Col du Glandon.
Canadian Ryder Hesjedal and Spaniard Jon Izaguirre opened up a sizeable lead over the yellow jersey group once they went over the top.
As Hesjedal and Izaguirre reached the second HC of Col de Madeleine, the peloton was 10 minutes behind. Hesjedal forged ahead but was then overtaken by Frenchman Pierre Rolland.
The stage undulated through the valleys and up several big hills, including the Category 1 climbs of Col de lEpine and Col de la Croix Fry, and then flew down to the ski resort of Le Grand Bornand in southeastern France.
Rolland maintained his lead up lEpine zooming up the 4.5 miles in just under 19 minutes but Costa proved too strong for him. Costa also won up to Super-Besse ski station in 2011.
With the rain becoming heavier, Costa prepared for a long and slippery descent of 8 miles.
Contador chose not to take Froome on down it and risk jeopardizing his podium position. Colombian climber Nairo Quintana is only 21 second behind in third place.
I didnt want to attack in the downhill, Contador said. A lot of people like me and when they see me attacking downhill they get scared.
Froome sat on Contadors wheel whenever he could, forcing him to work and spend energy, and the Spaniard could not shake him off.
There was a moment when I wanted to attack and thought about it, Contador said, but then I thought it was best to reach the finish line.MORE IN Sports WireBALTIMORE Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps avoided jail time on Friday when a judge...

RiT To Provide Its IIM Solution For Datacenter Management To Global Financial Institution
TEL AVIV, Israel, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
RiT Technologies (NASDAQ: RITT ), the world-leading provider of intelligent infrastructure solutions, today announced that it has received several major new orders from one of its largest customers, a top-tier diversified financial services company. The orders, which total over one million dollars, are for the expansion of the PatchView™ intelligent infrastructure management (IIM) systems currently deployed in the client's international headquarters and central datacenters.
This global account has been a satisfied RiT customer for many years, and credits RiT's PatchView(TM) with having helped it maximize network continuity, minimize ongoing maintenance costs, enforce physical layer security and simplify infrastructure planning. The projects will include the implementation of IIM systems in new datacenter and people workspace facilities in branch offices, and the integration of the RiT solution throughout the organization with the customer's internal systems."We are proud of the relationship we have built with this prestigious customer, who became one of the industry's earliest adopters of our PatchView IIM, and quickly came to rely on it as a strategic infrastructure management tool," said Eran Ayzik, RiT's President and CEO. "Over the years, our deployments in the customer's mission-critical headquarters and datacenter networks have proved PatchView's ability to streamline complex infrastructure operations and to slash the time required to deploy large-scale projects. In addition, we have differentiated ourselves consistently through our ability to support the customer through all the stages of the project with tailor-made and customized solutions." Mr. Ayzik continued, "Now that the IIM concept is gaining mainstream acceptance from additional top-tier enterprises, we are benefiting from our extensive track record with this and other satisfied customers worldwide. We believe this will help us secure additional large-scale customers, and hopefully to form relationships that translate into multi-year streams of ongoing revenues."

40 years after revolution, Portugal is angryEuphoria gripped Portugal during the 1974 Carnation Revolution, when junior army officers swept away a four-decade dictatorship. The almost bloodless coup brought what for the Portuguese were novelties -- the right to vote, universal health care, public education, old-age pensions and labor rights.

Reese Witherspoon
While the role of Amy Dunne in Gone Girl ended up going to Rosamund Pike, the film's producer Reese Witherspoon told The Hollywood Reporter that she was open to playing the part.
The Oscar winner explained that director David Fincher didn't think she was the right fit to play Ben Affleck's missing wife. "We had a long conversation where [Fincher] was like, 'You're not right for it. And this is why,'" she revealed to THR. "And I actually completely agreed with him."
Reese added that Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Natalie Portman were also considered for the role.

Hutton: Brey, Irish out of sync right now

Updated: January 19, 2012 11:17AM
INDIANAPOLIS — What does a professional golfer do on the third hole when his round blows up with a quadruple bogey on the second hole?
Unless he's John Daley, who finds his pack of Marlboro Lights and heads out to the courtesy car in the parking lot, he tries to regroup one hole at a time, knowing it's going to be a long round and a day to learn something, anything, before he finishes No. 18.
Get some birdies. Make some nice swings. Work on a shot or two that has baffled him over the years.
Mike Brey is that wounded golfer right now.
Brey is in the fight of his professional career at Notre Dame to avoid the worst season he's had as the Irish coach. The Irish finished 16-14 in 2006 (6-10 in the Big East). That team was different. Those Irish had a future NBA player in Chris Quinn and they were snake bit, losing 10 games by less than four points. They were, though, marginally talented.
It's hard to even use "marginal" at this point to describe the potential. Notre Dame's four losses coming into Saturday's game were by an average of 15 points.
If this team were a company, it would be woefully under capitalized. The Irish have just nine scholarship players left after Tim Abromaitis tore his ACL two games into his return this year. Their best offensive player, Jerian Grant, is a redshirt freshman who is still trying to figure out when to attack and when to pull back.
The hump for Notre Dame to get over probably won't be hurdled until next year, maybe even the year after that, when Brey has some players coming to the rescue.
The Irish are the last three versions of Indiana. They are scrappy and thoughtful — too much so on offense — and just not very good. Certainly not good enough to beat a Hoosiers team ripe for an upset.
Indiana still appeared hung over from its win over then-No.1 Kentucky last week in the first 10 minutes of its 69-58 victory over the Irish.
Notre Dame jumped out to a 15-6 lead, but then went on a scoring drought that lasted 6:01. The Irish finished with four first-half field goals.
That's how it goes with the Irish, who are typically an offensive juggernaut under Brey. They just stopped scoring. Alex Dragicevich, a sophomore, dropped in three 3-pointers early, catapulting the Irish to a nine-point lead. Indiana started to get a hand in his face and he didn't score the rest of the game.
The Irish have been assaulted with bad luck, the worst of it coming when Abromaitis suffered his knee injury after coming to a jump stop in practice. Abromaitis limped out onto the floor at Conseco Fieldhouse, crutches underneath his shoulder, to participate in the pregame huddle. It was an appropriate symbol for a team whose fortunes have been battered since spring when Carleton Scott, its best returning defensive player, decided not to return, opting to try to play professionally.
It got worse when freshman Eric Katenda, a potential replacement for Scott at some point, was blinded in his left eye during a pick up game over the summer.
Scott Martin has battled an ankle injury, Mike Broghammer, a backup big man, has played with chronic tendonitis and Jack Cooley, the Irish's 6-9 starter in the post, plays limited minutes because of a problem he has with his stamina.
Not surprisingly, the Hoosiers hammered the Irish inside, getting 36 points from Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo.
Notre Dame tried everything offensively to find a spark. Nothing worked consistently, other than having Eric Atkins and Grant drive hard to the basket to try to create offense.
It certainly isn't the symmetry — the cutting and screening and ball movement — characteristic of Irish basketball.
Brey is hopelessly optimistic about what the future holds, patting players on the butt as they walked through the hallway in the basement of Conseco, giving them impromptu pep talks, probably because he has no other choice.
Brey says he is energized by the challenge of getting this group to some kind of postseason play. The Big East looms. Pittsburgh comes to South Bend on Dec. 27.
It's a long season but it'll be an epic recovery if the Irish win more than a handful of games in conference play, no matter how hard he tries to find the right combinations and switch up the offenses.
Sometimes, no matter what you try, the swing just isn't there.

Some sacred geometry to start the month of November. The challenge here was to draw it without compass and ruler. Just freehand drawing with pen and ink.
Mandala made with ink and colour pencils.
An imaginary flower (or a funky sea star…) made with ink and colour pencils.
I wanted to add some colour to my usual black and white drawings, so I bought new ink colour pens, and a mandala seemed good enough to test them.
More coming soon!
After the daily work sampling a section… nothing better than a "shower" with cold, muddy water. Although far from the comfortable bathroom at home, I miss it :)
Photo taken in East Greenland in summer 2012.
Lovely loft, full of light, on a tree. Ideal for couples. Preferably birds. Amazing views to the garden and human life.
Today is Saint George, a special day in the region I was born (Catalunya, in Spain). In short, the legend tells Saint Gorge defeated a dragon to save a princess (quite cheese actually), and from the blood of the dragon a bush of roses grew. Saint Gorge gave to the lady one of those roses, and in return she gave him a book.
We celebrate it as the lover's day, traditionally women received a rose, and men received a book. An exchange sign of their mutual love. However, nowadays everybody receives a book, at least one, and women still receive a rose, although not always the flower. Can be whatever creative item with a rose on it, for example a foulard with rose motives.
It is been already few years I skip this day (unfortunately)… Streets are full of people with books and roses, meeting friends and family, and the day is usually enough springy and long to fully enjoy it.
To honor this beautiful day I draw the homeland of Le Petit Prince, remembering Saint-Exupéry's book, with the rose and a happy dragon. Actually I like more the dragon than Saint George and the princess, but that's another story.
I wish you all a good day, and to those who celebrate Saint George, feliç Sant Jordi!
Lately I had to spend a lot of time in an airport because my flight was first delayed, then cancelled and finally rescheduled. To fill my time with something better than having a walk around the duty free shops I drew a corner of the Eden garden (according to me).

How to use OpenMPI with OpenMP or multi-threaded Intel MKL
This FAQ applies to all clusters except for Hecate.
Normally, by following the instructions in each cluster's Tutorial, every processor/core reserved via PBS is assigned to a separate MPI process. Howerver, in the event that an application combines MPI (usually between nodes), and OpenMP (within nodes), different instructions need to be followed.
One specific example of using OpenMP in an MPI job is when using Intel MKL. MKL internally uses OpenMP to execute the mathematical operations in a parallel fashion when configured to use the muti-threaded layer (click here for MKL configuration instructions). By default, OpenMP and multi-threaded MKL will use all cores in a node, but it may be desirable to allocate less than that when an application makes lighter usage of MKL or simply needs fewer parallel threads per process.
In either case, when using OpenMPI, you must configure the number of threads per process as follows:
- Set the number of cores allocated by PBS to equal the number needed for all processes and threads. Generally it is best policy to completely fill nodes. Therefore set the PBS ppn parameter to equal the number of cores per node (i.e., 12 or 16), and the nodes parameter to the total number of cores needed divided by the number of cores per node.
Set OMP_NUM_THREADS to the number of OpenMP threads to be created for each MPI process.
Invoke mpirun specifying the number of MPI processes wanted, along with the '-bynode' command line option.
Example: There are 12 cores per node, and you want 8 MPI processes, each running 6 OpenMP threads.
PBS script:
#PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=12
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=6
mpirun -bynode -np 8 myhybridcode.exe
Note: (nodes * ppn) == (OMP_NUM_THREADS * np parameter)
Note: If you are not using MPI and are simply running a single-process job, then follow the above instructions and set 'nodes' and 'np' to 1.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
My mother met a man on a millionaire dating website. They have been communicating for several months now via the internet and text messages. Together, they have made plans several time for him to move to VA and live with my mother. He claims he is from another country that I cannot remember off the top of my head. Every time he is supposed to come, he comes up with another excuse. "My mother broke her hip", "I have appendicitis", just to name a couple. He claims to have all sorts of money tied up into jewels and gold and such. Every time they plan for him to come down here however, he asks my mother to send him money so he can make the trip, claiming problems with his overseas gold accounts and such. She has now sent him upwards of $50k total and is now on some sort of watch list because she has been wiring him so much money. I worry that because she is willingly sending him money, that he is technically not doing anything illegal. However, since this has been happening over and over again, I am wondering if fraud could be considered. Honestly, I would not be surprised if he was lying about his name. I am frustrated because this is money my mother does not need to be giving away, and I don't want her to get hurt. Any legal advice would be much appreciated. I really just want to know if he is technically doing anything illegal. I have never met the guy, but what he is doing to my mother is just not right.
1 Answer from Attorneys
This question I answered in some detail yesterday. Why is it being posted
again today?
The man described in your inquiry is obviously a blatant and shameless Internet fraudster as I made very clear in my posted response.
I hope your hapless mother at some point gets this message and stops sending this heartless cad money from her steadily diminishing store of funds.
And, no, this fraudster will likely never be prosecuted anywhere in this wide world for his many crimes.
Your search for some measure of justice for your mother will have to begin
not with law enforcement authorities but at home with your mother and by
convincing her to terminate her ongoing victimization by refusing to send any more of her money to this Internet scam artist.

Having embraced the cloud for CRM and related services, why not embrace the cloud for the next-generation PC architecture as well? This was probably what Meg figured out, ditching Redmond in favor of its corporate neighbor in Silicon Valley, Google.
Ask yourself the question: How many people do you know in the last few years who got a new Hotmail address instead of a Gmail address?
None, of course.
Then, once people get a Gmail address, they start using Google Docs, which is a free competitor to Microsoft Office. It requires no complicated installs, configuration, and everything is saved automatically across all devices.Microsoft Office can cost everything from $100 or so, to $400-plus. Google Docs is free. With Microsoft Office also comes a service plan for that PC. Some people pay $250-plus for a 3-year "premium" service plan for a new Windows -- or for that matter Mac -- PC. Meg Whitman probably saw that -- just like switching to Salesforce.com over some complicated Oracle system that required an army-like on-site staff and eternal expenses like a minor Mediterranean country -- the Chromebook also has its benefits in terms of dramatically lower lifetime cost. People tend to like it when a product costs less money up front, starts and works a lot faster, and then costs perhaps as much as 90% less to operate over the next 3 years. After Samsung, Acer, Lenovo and now soon HP, who will be next? I don't know, but I can imagine that the major PC makers are now seeing the light. Asus, Sony (SNE), Vizio -- they will all likely join the Chromebook bandwagon within months as well. Is there any PC company that will not make Chromebooks or Chromeboxes? Possibly. There are always those one or two North Koreas or Cubas at the end of the rope, refusing to let go. In the meantime, Acer says 5% to 10% of their volume is now Chromebooks. That's after launching the model in November. Surely that counts as one of the fastest product ramps in this industry. What is needed now for Chromebooks and Chromeboxes is a little like what's needed for (wholly or partially) electrified cars: More models, and more distribution. The average consumer for the most part has never heard about the existence of a Google PC, let alone tried one. Most stores and other retail outlets don't carry them. This has improved over the last six months, but we are still in the embryonic stages, distribution-wise.

According to a recent poll by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) 1, one in four US adults say they suffer from occasional sleeplessness with difficulty falling asleep at least a few times a week. Fortunately, there are small steps people can take to help get better sleep.
"Downy Infusions Lavender Serenity® fabric softener and Downy Unstopables® Lush in-wash scent booster are products that help create the perfect sleep atmosphere," said Carolina Rogoll, Downy's Brand Manager. "There are many things within your sleep habits that you cannot control, but the environment should not be one of them."
National Sleep Awareness Week Event in New York City with Downy and ZzzQuil
On Thursday, March 7 th Downy and ZzzQuil will give NYC – the 'city that never sleeps' – a reason to hop into bed. The Downy and ZzzQuil Sleep Fest will be hosted at Amtrak's Penn Station, which services approximately 500,000 passengers each day. This event will feature beds with Downy washed sheets to showcase the benefits of relaxing and long-lasting scents. Experts, including Dr. Joseph Ojile, National Sleep Foundation Board Director, will be on-site along with HGTV's interior designer and host Taniya Nayak to discuss ways to ensure both you and your bedroom are set up for a cozy night of sleep.Washing sheets with Downy Infusions Lavender Serenity liquid fabric softener makes them silky soft and soothing with a relaxing scent to create a great environment for sleep—and for a longer-lasting scent, Downy Unstopables Lush in-wash scent booster can be used to provide freshness that lasts up to twelve weeks in storage.

reporting form, the online option, and the instructions for reporting clearly require reading skills and knowledge above the levels possessed by many consumers. For example, the form uses terms like "relevant history," "congenital anomaly," "concomitant products," "event abated," and "labeled strength" (FDA, 2003o). The agency urges consumers who want to report an event to have their physician complete the form.
Both mandatory and voluntary reports involving devices are compiled in the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience database (MAUDE). After certain information is removed (e.g., patient age, facility name), the reports are made available in a searchable public database. FDA and manufacturers have access to the full reports to support their analyses.
Table 4.1 shows the number of adverse event reports received by FDA from late 1984 to 2004 by major category of reporter, requirement for reporting (mandatory or voluntary), and type of event as designated by the person reporting it. The great majority of reports in MAUDE are submitted by manufacturers. One of the most notable trends shown in the table is the shift of adverse event reports to the alternative summary reporting option after its introduction by FDA in 1995. In recent years, such summary reports have accounted for more than half of total reports, for example, nearly 98,000 of the almost 152,000 reports received in 2004. The sizeable increase in adverse event reports (primarily injuries and malfunctions) from 1992 through 1994 has been attributed, in part, to reports of problems with silicone breast implants, which account for almost one-third of all reports from manufacturers (GAO, 1997).
Mandatory user facility reports account for less than 3 percent of the reports in Table 4.1. This number is, however, somewhat deceptive because FDA attempts to eliminate duplicate reports from the statistics so that a facility report that goes to both FDA and the manufacturer (and then to FDA) is not counted twice. (Facilities are supposed to report to FDA directly only if an event involves a death or the manufacturer of a device is not known.) Voluntary reports from health care professionals and consumers also account for a small percentage of reports (about 3 percent each year).
Unlike some patient safety programs described later in this chapter, FDA does not require or encourage reports of close calls from user facilities. In contrast, manufacturers are required to report device-related malfunctions, including those that could cause a death or serious injury if they recurred. When close calls involve situations with the potential to recur and cause harm, reports of such events may provide valuable signals if manufacturer and FDA analysts are prepared to notice them.
FDA sometimes discovers deficiencies in manufacturer reporting of adverse events and product problems (or their systems related to such reporting) during quality systems inspections, through investigations of incidents, and in other ways. The agency typically responds with letters that

Seven irresistible country retreats
When you want to get away from it all, few places satisfy like the countryside. Spend your days breathing in fresh air, living off the fat of the land, and taking in some of the best views nature has to offer. To inspire your search, I've highlighted a few irresistible country retreats in Europe and the U.S. From cottages and farm stays to elegant inns of historical note, these finds will allow you to sleep tight without having to spend all your bread and butter.

Holling Grange
Herefordshire, England
Back in 2007, I wrote about an amazing experience I had at a B&B in southern France. Years later, in a bittersweet sort of way, the owners Cedric and Dawn packed up and moved to England, but thankfully, opened Holling Grange, a 15th-century stone farmhouse with a group of self-catering cottages near the Welsh border. As before, Cedric, a French chef, cooks fabulous locally-sourced meals and Dawn, an English florist, makes sure the grounds remain as exquisite as ever. Three-night breaks start at 400 British pounds (about US$655), and weeklong stays start at 500 pounds (about $819). Current offers include a full week for the price of a weekend, or 10% off last-minute weekend stays reserved within five weeks of arrival. A four-course set menu with a half-bottle of wine is available on select days for an additional 45 pounds ($74).
The three cottages (Bleu-Gris, Cerise, and Chocolat) vary in size and price and include fully equipped kitchens, open-plan living areas, and French vintage fabrics. The TripAdvisor ratings for this B&B are almost all fives.
The Swallow's Nest
Brandon, Vt.
You'll certainly want to swallow up this super adorable guesthouse in Brandon, Vt. Located within a short drive of Middlebury and area ski slopes, The Swallow's Nest is set on 1,200 acres of Vermont countryside and meadows with views of the Green Mountains. The house is a true nest—with a host of creature comforts like a custom kitchen, private bedroom, loft, and tidy living room—that sleeps up to six people. The property is also an exceptional value, with rates of $149 per night for two (an additional $10 per night for each additional person) or $795 per week (an additional $50 per week per person). Even better, children under 12 stay free, and guests receive a $10 gift card to use at nearby Café Provence. Rental discounts are available for monthly stays; call for more details. When I checked, the property still had some availability at the end of September and for select dates in October, prime leaf-peeping time for Vermont.
Amenities include a pullout sofa, Wi-Fi, and laundry facilities. The Swallow's Nest has two reviews on TripAdvisor and both give a rating of five.
The Rustic Retreat
Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, France
If you're obsessed with all things French-Country, like stone cottages (owned by a pair of artists, of course), free-range hens clucking about, and bountiful herb gardens, then The Rustic Retreat in southwest France, just over an hour from Toulouse, is just too much to pass up. Laze on the veranda and listen to birds chirping, or get cozy inside, where you'll find a country kitchen, shelves filled with books, and a couple of simple but comfortable bedrooms. If you're itching to go sooner rather than later (and who wouldn't want to?), there have been some last-minute cancellations and accompanying deals. The house is now available during the weeks of August 13 to 20 and August 20 to 27, with prices reduced from 1,000 pounds (about $1,630) per week to 700 pounds (about $1,146) per week. The week of September 3 to 10 is also available at a discounted price.
The Rustic Retreat sleeps four and comes stocked with complimentary organic produce upon arrival.
Stone House Bed & Breakfast
Hurley, N.Y.
Sample a piece of colonial history at the Stone House Bed & Breakfast right in the heart of New York's Hudson Valley. Originally the Cornelis Kool House, this Dutch estate dates back to around 1700. While the house has been renovated, owners Nadia and Sam have kept its integrity with a tastefully decorated interior evocative of the period, and rooms named after paintings by Dutch artist Vermeer, such as The Girl With A Pearl Earring. During your stay, walk through the gardens and woods on the six-acre grounds and enjoy views of the Catskills. Room prices range from $129 per night during off-peak times to $275 during the most popular season. However, discounts are available for longer stays or group bookings; call for more details.
Rooms feature original beams, wide-plank flooring, four-poster canopy beds, and antiques. Modern amenities include Frette linens and widescreen TVs; some rooms have whirlpools. The TripAdvisor ratings for this property are mostly fives.
L'Auberge Provencale Bed & Breakfast
Boyce, Va.
The words "country" and "French" seem to go together like wine and good food. And at L'Auberge Provencale located a stone's throw from Washington, D.C., in the Shenandoah Valley, you can have all four things, along with a good dose of northern Virginia hospitality. Guests can savor multicourse meals with ingredients from the garden and orchard at the on-site restaurant or head out and explore the surrounding wine country. Several rooms are available in both La Petite Auberge cottage and the main house that dates back to around 1753. The B&B is part of BedandBreakfast.com's Diamond Collection, and though it is upscale (rooms start at $170 per night), there are plenty of current deals. For instance, get three nights for the price of two with a dinner reservation through September 16. Fans who "like" the B&B's Facebook page are entitled to special coupons.
Amenities include Provencal fabrics, antiques, and a full gourmet breakfast; some rooms have fireplaces. The TripAdvisor ratings for this property are mostly fives, with a few fours.
La Locanda del Borgo
Pietralunga, Umbria, Italy
Set in the Umbrian countryside on the outskirts of the medieval village of Pietralunga, La Locanda del Borgo is a restored 15th-century country house with all the charm you'd expect to find in Italy. Best of all, it's even more within reach with special deals. Responsibletravel.com currently lists an offer for stays in August and September for three nights for the price of two in a double room, including breakfast, tax, and daily cleaning, for €90 (about $128) per person. Pilgrims traveling on the Saint Francis Walk pay just 70€ (about $100). Other special offers and packages centered on farm tours and wine tastings are available. Lodging options include double rooms, suites, and apartments all furnished with antiques as well as modern conveniences. You can also rent a private farmhouse located about three miles from town.
Amenities include an on-site restaurant constructed from an old barn that serves locally sourced organic food and wines. The TripAdvisor ratings for this property are mostly fives.
The Gite At Monteillet Fromagerie
Dayton, Wash.
One sure way to relax in the country is to stay a few nights right on the farm. At artisan cheese maker Monteillet Fromagerie in Dayton, Wash., roughly a half hour from Walla Walla, you can rent a gite, or French holiday home, and enjoy all the spoils of a 32-acre farm. The house itself has classic country appeal with a claw-foot tub, an antique stove, and a refrigerator stocked with fresh milk, eggs, and other sundries right from the grounds. Guests can also get involved by picking vegetables or taking a cheese-making class. Rent starts at $200 per night. For those on a budget, camping (with use of an outdoor kitchen and full bath) on the farm is an option for just $30 per night. Special packages are also available; call for more information.
Amenities at the gite include satellite TV and Wi-Fi. Monteillet also has a farm store and cheese-tasting room open a few days per week.
