Woodstock, VT217 Echo Ledge Road
Location, style, amenities: Just west of Woodstock Village, a hip renovation of a classic white clapboard farmhouse and big red barn, on 91 acres threaded with lovely trails, meadows, pond, gardens and thoughtful set up for horses. Completely renovated in 2004 and 2007, the 1850 farmhouse has a contemporary style by award winning AIA architect Michael Ertel and the texture and attention to detail of master builder Hank Savelberg. Sensitive to the integrity of the original farmhouse, integrating all modern amenities, there is an open floor plan with walls of windows that bathe the spaces in natural light. The master suite and 2 additional bedrooms are on the second floor, as well as additional expansion space. The 3-stall barn has a wide center aisle and heat throughout, except hay area and loft. The barn includes an office with high-speed internet. The farm, once part of thousands of acres owned by the Robinson family, was eventually split up and passed down through each generation. This house was owned by Jumbo Robinson who could lift and carry 2 heavy dairy cans down the hill to be picked up by the milk truck every day--the cans are still in the little corn crib with the original cider press. The edible landscape of today includes apples, plums and pear trees. Five minutes to Woodstock Farmer's Market, near skiing, golf and other recreational activities. 2.5 hours to Boston and 4.5 hours to New York. Virtual tour of the home and the barn available.

The Sugarmaker's Companion: An Integrated Approach to Producing Syrup from Maple, Birch, and Walnut Trees by Michael Farrell focuses on the business of syrup and sugar making. If you want to tap maples or other trees for profit, this book is a worthwhile investment. Even if you don't have trees, the book still has merit for small producers of many types. Producing an excellent product is no longer enough – you have to be able to market it, and create value added products. Those often overlooked areas are what keep small farms alive.
From sugarbush management to creating a successful long term business, The Sugarmaker's Companion is a solid resource. There are over 300 pages of detailed information, with full color photos throughout. The resource section provides information on Books; Organizations; Websites and Trade publications; and Special Events in the sap production industry.
What's in The Sugarmaker's Companion?
The author's passion for all things maple permeates his writing. Sometimes he may a bit overzealous in his enthusiasm, but I prefer someone hitting me with everything that's possible over naysayers that tell me everything that can't be done. A recurring theme in the text is preserving our woodlands by putting them to use. I think this is key to preserving many of our assets.
People don't appreciate things they don't know and interact with on a regular basis. This is why homesteading and increasing self-reliance changes lives. If you have a part in everything that goes into a meal, from the first seeds planted in the ground to harvesting and preparing it for your table, you never take a meal for granted. If we locally produced our sweeteners from sugarbushes instead of having a market flooded with industrial scale corn, beet and cane sugar, I think the obesity epidemic would take an abrupt turn for the better.
Those of you who are regular readers know that I'm a huge fan of permaculture. While sugaring and sap production isn't commonly considered in many permaculture designs, chapter 14 (other non-timber products from your land) dovetails nicely with many permaculture principles.
There are many more, but that could encompass a book by itself. Decorative items and specialty wood products may also be options, depending on the size and diversity of your woodlands.
Another topic that caught my attention was the widespread use of various types of sap around the world. The book Backyard Medicine talks about drinking birch sap as a health tonic, but had no idea that sap is sold commercially. Since it takes around 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup, selling sap directly may be more cost effective for those with a limited number of trees. You provide a healthy beverage, and you don't need to invest in the infrastructure for syrup making. Research indicates that maple sap acts as a hangover cure, so marketing opportunities abound.
Perhaps one of the most appealing aspects of sugarbush culture is the links it creates between generations. Unlike a typical vegetable garden, trees last for years. Properly maintained sugarbush properties last for decades – or even longer. Sugarmaking lends itself to family time and community building. With planning, multiple income sources can be created from one piece of land. This makes it more likely that additional family members can make a living from the land.
Sap-producing trees are a wonderful resource that can be a boon to local economies. My hope is that the growing interest in healthier food options will help rekindle the growth of this industry, and create more opportunities for small farmers. The Sugarmaker's Companion can be a part a part of that journey.
I received a copy of the book for review from Chelsea Green Publishing. As always, my opinions are my own.
Great review. Do you have a different affiliate link for amazon.ca?
Checked to see if I can grab a different link for amazon.ca, but it won't let me sign into anything except amazon.com (since I'm in the States). Thank you for asking.

(September 21, 2016) Ariel Epstein is creative. When she learned that WCTI in New Bern, NC had a sports anchor/reporter opening, and that the station's sports director is receptive to new ideas, she knew it would be a fit. She applied, and now Epstein is the newest member of the WCTI sports team.
A 2016 graduate of Syracuse University, Epstein learned of the WCTI opportunity through STAA. She became more excited about it as she got deeper into the application process.
"The sports director [Brian North] is very open-minded to new ideas and covering everything possible, which is something I really liked about the station," says Epstein. "I felt it was extremely important for me to get in front of the camera as much as possible so I can continue to grow and refine my skills. This job allows me to do just that.

Talking Animals: Feral, And a Friend of Animals
Priscilla Feral and her favorite wild horse, Bindle, rescued from a Nevada slaughterhouse: 'In the last two years, we've halted the round up of wild horses in six different incidences in Western states. And that's a very tough thing to do.'
By Duncan Strauss
If I told you the woman who runs Friends of Animals–a Connecticut-based international animal advocacy organization–is named Priscilla Feral, you might think I was pulling your leg.
I'm not. And we'll come back to the genesis of that improbable moniker later.
If I told you her name isn't close to being the most distinctive thing about Priscilla Feral, you might think I was pulling your leg a second time.
Again, I'm not. For instance, Feral, who's 68, has been Friends of Animals' president for 30 years. And she's worked there for…43 years.
See what I mean? I didn't consult the Friends of Animals' human resources department, but at this point, I think it's safe to say Feral's job is secure.
"I think that I'm wired for this kind of-what seems like–confrontational work," Feral said in a Talking Animals interview that aired July 5.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvKhpHK0Abs
Patricia Feral on hunting on ranches: 'There's no real stalking involved, there's no wilderness adventure.' A 60 Minutes interview.
"You know, if you're addressing social justice issues, which we are, you've got to work within a culture. Be flexible enough, compatible enough to really fold into the culture. And I think that the style of the organization when I first found it is somewhat similar to what it is today. That makes me happy."
With that assessment, Feral is underplaying her role and the significant ways in which she's shaped Friends of Animals-not hard to imagine she's put a distinctive stamp on the operation, given her three decades at the helm.
But when she enthuses about the "style of the organization when I first found it," she's really enthusing about the organization's founder, Alice Herrington.
As a young woman, who already held some jobs-with men as bosses-Feral was immediately taken with the chance to work for Herrington.
"It was such an opportunity to learn from somebody who was a rugged individualist, a real maverick in the true sense of the word," Feral said.
It may go without saying that there weren't many women starting organizations in the 1950s, never mind animal organizations. But it's clear from looking at her accomplishments, and from hearing Feral gush about her, that Herrington was a truly singular woman. And a powerful, ongoing influence on Feral.
Priscilla Feral introduces Friends of Animals at the 2011 World Vegetarian Festival in San Francisco
Herrington launched Friends of Animals aiming to help cats and dogs, particularly to remedy the homeless animal problem, which was significant even back then, and which she realized wasn't going to be solved through adoptions alone, Feral recalled. So Herrington created a nationwide spay/neuter program for dogs and cats, enabling pet owners to have their animals undergo those procedures at a much lower cost than if they walked into veterinarian's office.
Now, the phrase "low-cost spay and neuter" is as common as the President issuing yet another petulant tweet. But Herrington created her program the better part of 60 years ago-clearly, a pioneer in multiple respects, driven by tremendous affection and concern for animals.
"What was there," Feral recalled, championing her late mentor at every opportunity, "was her ability to reach for something that was further than the culture could address…
"When she took on animal rights as a wildlife perspective, meaning she thought 'Yeah, we're talking horses in New York, and dogs and cats, but what about deer that are hunted, and ducks that fly, the innocence of seals that are clubbed, and what have you-she was the first to address fur as a commodity, as a vulgarity.
"She was the first to address factory farming, and to see that it became something more than that-it wasn't just a way of regulating an industry that was really treacherous for animals.
"She could see the wisdom in vegetarianism, and having people evolve away from people seeing animals as their food. She did these things either in the '60s or the '70s, when no other groups were doing them."
If it sounds like she is describing someone marked by massive, historic achievement-and that she had gargantuan shoes to fill-it really reflects Feral's generosity of spirit, probably generally, but certainly when it comes to Herrington.
The full 60 Minutes interview on big game hunting on ranches in Texas, featuring Priscilla Feral
Feral has proven to be not just a worthy successor, but an impressive figure in her own right, shepherding Friends of Animals into its current role as a highly accomplished, international entity in the realm of animal advocacy, with a broad portfolio that extends from a descendant of Herrington's formative spaying and neutering program, to the Chimpanzee Refuge Project in Gambia, to promoting the virtues of veganism, to its signature Wildlife Law Program.
Feral is formidable. Her career is not merely characterized by those eye-popping employment stats at Friends of Animals. But underneath those, you could make a case for someone with a phenomenal work ethic (when she started working for Herrington, the office was based in New York, Feral lived in Connecticut, as she does now, which meant a five-hour round-trip commute, every day), a prodigious passion for getting things done.
Not coincidentally, she's also propelled by an immense affection and concern for animals.
You get the sense Priscilla Feral is someone you wouldn't want to disappoint, and that it would be absolutely foolhardy to cross her. (It's clear from the conversation, that leaders at the Humane Society of The United States and PETA have crossed her.)
It's also easy to imagine she has spawned a battalion of women-both inside and outside the hallways of Friends of Animals-who are working diligently on behalf of animal welfare, and who have been directly (or indirectly) inspired by Feral, the way she was by Herrington.
The Best of Vegan Cooking, by Priscilla Feral, is a collection of 84 vegan recipes gathered from various sources. The book is focused on vegetables, fruit, berries, whole grains and legumes.
And as someone who may be as visionary as her mentor, but is clearly more charismatic and engaging than the rough-around-the-edges Herrington, Feral's leadership and feats look to be no less inspiring to men of various ages.
One notable example of this surfaced, peripherally and unintentionally, as she described the Wildlife Law Program, which Friends of Animals established in 2013, seeking to–among other objectives–bridge the puzzling gap that often exists between animal activism and environmental activism.
Anyone who's spent even a little time concerned with animal welfare knows that the only way to effectively address small indignities and grotesque atrocities–and anything in between–in that world involves legislation: passing legislation to address a problem, passing improved versions of toothless legislation, recognizing how best to enforce existing laws, and understanding how to most effectively exploit certain laws to best serve animals and their well-being.
So it's not at all difficult to believe Feral when, in discussing what she considers the main differences between Friends of Animals and other major animal organizations, she says, "what really has set us apart from everyone else, I think in this field, is our fantastic litigation office-our Wildlife Law Program.
"It's centered in Denver, Colorado," she continued. "And we have a staff of five attorneys and interns and, sometimes, externs. And we have lots of litigation that we can afford because we've got all these people on staff.
"So, what we do is we sue the government when they make horrible mistakes, when they're using law but they're not paying attention to the law to justify particular carnage.
"They're cases where we think animals should be upgraded for better protection on the endangered species list, and we make cases for why that should happen. We've won a number of these lawsuits, so they're wildlife and parrots and sharks, prairie dogs, some species of fish, and lots of wild horses that are protected today than they were just five years ago.
"In the last two years, we've halted the round up of wild horses in six different incidences in Western states. And that's a very tough thing to do. That really was not done before our involvement. "
Discussing the impetus for forging the Wildlife Program, she mentions Director Michael Harris, whom Feral and others at Friends of Animals had worked with at the University of Denver Law Clinic.
"There are a number of lawyers there, who took on cases pro bono. Michael was prominent. And we had several victories. One was to stop the hunting of three endangered species of antelopes at Texas hunting ranches. So we had some important court victories.
"One was in 2009, and Michael said to me, 'I'm being offered tenure here (the University of Denver), and I don't really want it.' He said, 'I have a fire in my belly for working for Friends of Animals.'
"I was pretty shocked that he said it. I thought 'Any law professor offered tenure, you would think with the salaries paid and the privileges of being a professor, they'd just keep those jobs, right?' But again, he wanted to be a maverick."
Michael Harris sounds like a stepchild of Alice Harrington-driven to forgo those academic and professional perks to pursue the greater good, to work more formally alongside stepchild (and maverick) Number One, Priscilla Feral.
The more I spoke with Feral, the more impressed I became–and the more intrigued by her name. Especially knowing she has a fistful of former surnames, including Brockway (her family name), Brennan, and Seymour, before she became Feral. There had to be a story…
"There were two marriages that defined my last names, that's true," she said. "But in 1974, I was getting a divorce, and my last name had been Brennan. I was having some pictures taken for public relations purposes that Alice wanted.
"And I had very long hair and it was blowing in the wind, and the person taking the picture said, 'How feral.' And I thought, 'Feral, yeah, a once domestic animal gone wild. That's kind of me.' And I decided, since I was going to be in court on the divorce anyway, that I would ask for a legal name change then…
"And interestingly enough, when you do that when you're awfully young, you think 'I'll grow up and I'll think this was foolish. Like naming yourself Sunshine or something'…But I wanted to choose a name that didn't define a heritage, didn't speak of whether I was Irish or English or some such thing. And I didn't have to lose it because I was not successful at a relationship."
Feral reports that her current marriage is going great. Her relationship with Friends of Animals is going pretty well, too. She's fast approaching year 44 with the organization, and you get the sense she'd consider changing her name again before she ponder retiring: She's got more work to do.

This blog was originally written and designed for the team at Kassa in 2017, but as it's approaching NYE 2018, I thought I would share it on my own platforms too. When Kassa posted this blog to their site, it took the coveted title as "Staff Pick" for Amazon Spark and Amazon Prime.

Do you often feel like you've had to use multiple wine glasses at the one party as you've put your glass down and couldn't remember which one was yours? Problem solved! Brighten up your New Year's Eve party in a practical and festive way!
Kassa Liquid Chalk Markers are perfect for personalising your wine glasses as they are water-based and non-toxic. What's also great is that they dry super quickly, will stay on for the night and easily wash off with water once your guests have left you to do the clean up!
Step One: Ensure your wine glasses or champagne flutes are clean and dry.
Step Two: Using a die cut machine (I use a Cricut Explore Air 2), cut out your New Years messages on to adhesive foil. Alternatively, you can use pre-cut stickers, or hand cut your own messages. I've written: Cheers, Bottoms Up, Drink to 2018, Sip Sip Hooray, Hello 2018 and of course, Happy New Year.
Step Three: Cut a piece of Kassa clear transfer paper to the same size as your adhesives. Peel off the backing paper from the piece of Kassa clear transfer paper, and carefully stick it over the adhesives. Peel off the backing paper of the adhesives.
Step Four: Adhere the clear transfer paper with the adhesive to your wine glass or champagne flute.
To ensure that the adhesive is secure on your glass, use a firm but flexible plastic (like a credit card) to scrape on the adhesive, then peel off the Kassa transfer paper.
PARTY TIME: Leave your Kassa Liquid Chalk Markers next to the wine glasses or champagne flutes for your guests to personalise. They will love choosing their own color for easy identification. Have your guests personalise their own glass, but don't forget to let it dry (they dry super quickly!) before using it.
AFTER THE PARTY: To remove the liquid chalk markers, simply wash under the tap with a soft sponge, or even rub off with a dry cloth.
Have a wonderful New Years Eve and let's drink to 2019! Bring on 2019 everyone!


Just received an advanced galley of Sway, Ori Brafman's new book due out later this year. I met Ori as he was releasing The Starfish and the Spider, and gave him a wrist guard and sharpie marker for all the autographs he was going to give once it hit the best-seller lists. Ori tells me that the brace came in handy during this book and I'm excited to take a read.

How To Impress A Girl in School?
We provide a reliable and professional service in Inverurie.


A recent poll revealed the biggest challenge standing between most men and being in a relationship with the girl of their dreams is the fact they will never even ask her out. Crazy, isn't it?
Men charge into burning buildings, take on natural disasters head on, risk their lives at war without thinking twice about it, yet a pretty girl walks into the room and they go into a shell, unable to speak or approach her. The fear of rejection is very real, and it still remains one of the biggest fears for many men.
Some guys are so afraid of being rejected they would rather swim in a pool of sharks rather than ask a beautiful woman out on a date.
So the question becomes: what are men so afraid of? And what can be done to reduce the agonizing fear that keeps men from approaching and talking to women they are deeply interested in.
These are great questions and the answers may vary depending on who you ask. Based on my research and personal experiences, I have learned a great deal about rejection, and I'd like to offer up 4 tips that will help you overcome the fear of rejection to get the girl you want.
By definition, the fear of rejection is the fear that someone will not accept you for one reason or another.
As human beings, we have a natural longing to be loved and accepted. If there is even the slightest chance our heart may be broken by someone we care about (or by someone we are attracted to), we tend to put up a wall and avoid it at all costs.
And that makes perfect sense. It hurts to get put down by someone. It's humiliating to build up the courage to ask a beautiful woman out only to have her say no when you ask her on a date.
Take a second to think about what is keeping you from asking your crush out on a date. Is the reason you wrote down really bad enough to keep you from trying? Are you mainly concerned she will say no or completely ignore you?
Sure, on a not so great day you may run into a woman that acts distant or completely ignores you when you make an attempt to talk to her. You might run into one who is rude or flat out mean about it. However, those are the rare exceptions. Research shows that 95% of the time she will either accept your invitation or politely turn you down and thank you for asking.
Also remember that approaching a woman is like giving her a compliment. It says, "I like you, and I want to get to know more about you." Women go to great lengths to look beautiful, so when a man takes notice and approaches a woman, it gives her a confidence boost. It gives her confirmation that she's attractive and desirable to men.
Think about how you feel when a woman walks by, makes eye contact, and smiles. Or when she comes over to talk to you. It makes you feel pretty great, doesn't it?
Women experience that same feeling when men approach them. As long as you're nice, not overly aggressive, and don't do something weird or creepy to make her uncomfortable, it's going to make her feel good that a man noticed her, even if she's already in a relationship. Focus on having a positive interaction rather than pressuring yourself to get a date.
After all, it's human nature to want to feel liked, noticed, accepted, and that we matter.
Cognitively based therapists can help identify your deeper, more concerning fears of rejection that may be directly related to physical appearance or negative thoughts about yourself. Cognitively based therapy aims to replace your negative thoughts with more positive and realistic thinking.
An example would be retraining your brain to understand rejection does not mean you are unlovable or undesirable. It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. It's not personal even though I understand it feels VERY personal when it happens.
It's much easier to get over the fear or rejection when you understand the timing might just not be right or maybe you and her just aren't a good fit, rather than looking at it like you're a horrible person who doesn't deserve to be loved.
I understand most men don't like seeking help. Most men don't like therapists. I've always been that way too. But remember, getting help with women and getting help to overcome the fear of rejection doesn't make you less of a man.
The good news is if talking to a therapist makes you feel uncomfortable, there's tons of help available online.
I'd recommend downloading these free chapters from the Social Man first. I can't tell you how much they've helped me over the past couple of years.
I am sure you have heard the saying, "don't judge a book by its cover." The same concept applies here.
Don't assume girls are all the same or put women with a particular body type, hair color or nationality into a specific category based on previous experiences. Don't assume that just because you approached a girl at a bar and she turned you down that every girl at the bar will turn you down.
The next girl you ask out could end up being your soul mate, so be positive and keep asking. It's a numbers game. The more you approach and the more you practice, the more comfortable you'll get with it.
Grow more comfortable with women just by smiling at them on the street or saying hi when you pass a cute girl in the aisle at the supermarket. You might just be surprised how she responds.
Have you ever seen an unattractive guy dating the "hot girl" and you wonder how in the world he was able to convince her to date him? What's his secret? It's all about confidence.
Believe it or not, getting the girl of your dreams starts with building an emotional connection. It's all about attraction, and that attraction has little to do with how you look. Nothing is sexier to a woman than a man who has confidence and believes in himself.
One of the best ways to replace your fear of rejection is to be confident. As your confidence builds, you will become less worried about rejection. It won't hurt as much and it just won't matter anymore because you'll be right on to asking the next girl out.
Overcoming your fear of rejection is never easy. It's not an overnight process. I've struggled with shyness and social anxiety around women most of my life. So I know exactly what that feels like.
Luckily I took a chance and downloaded the free shyness and social anxiety chapter found here, and I've never looked back.

How to make it work when your partner is always travelling
It can be hard to keep your marriage strong when your spouse is away on business a lot. We spoke to experts and couples living through it to hear what works.
By Jennifer Leask | Sep 10, 2017
After 34 days on an oil rig, Alyson Lamb's husband, Darryl Ingram, arrived home in Halifax to a simple request: "I need a full night of sleep."
Lamb was juggling her full-time job as a hospital administrator with taking care of her three-year-old, who was potty training, and her 14-month-old, who was getting over a cold. No one was sleeping, and Lamb was beyond exhausted. Ingram would normally take a day or two to catch up on his own sleep upon arriving home, but when his wife made her needs clear, he packed himself and the kids up for a weekend at Grandpa's, putting his wife's wishes ahead of his own.
When one partner travels a lot for work, it can put a serious strain on a relationship already heaving under the everyday pressures of having young kids. Things that are hard for all couples—from communicating to sharing household duties to getting enough sleep—can be intensified when one parent is often away on the job. Gary Direnfeld, a Dundas, Ont., social worker and relationship counsellor, often sees the toll frequent work travel can have on his married patients: anger, animosity, bitterness and even infidelity. But that doesn't mean your relationship is doomed if your partner travels. With a little empathy and a lot of communication—essentials for any marriage—the issues amplified by absences can be handled in a way that works for everyone.
Talk it out beforehand
How often will the travelling partner be away? For how long? To prevent simmering anger and resentment, the parent at home needs to be fully aware of—and on board with—the parameters of his or her partner's work travel, says Debra Macleod, a Calgary mediator and relationship coach. If the non-travelling parent isn't totally onside, it may help to understand why the work travel is important. For example, it might advance her partner's career in a way nothing else can, or the job might pay a lot more than a position that doesn't require travel. In some cases, it may be the only job available.
Don't romanticize your partner's life
If you've never travelled for work, it might seem pretty sweet. Expensed meals in upscale restaurants; clean, cozy hotel rooms; no kids to deal with—on paper, it sounds like heaven. But for the most part, work travel is, well, work. There's almost never time to explore and enjoy the city like you normally would when on vacation, the work is often exhausting, and it can be painfully lonely.
Stephanie Clare's husband frequently travels internationally for his job, leaving her to take care of their two boys, Declan, 4, and Ross, 6. Though he travels to incredible locales, such as Milan, London and Sydney, Australia, Clare knows the only sights he sees are the insides of office buildings—and that makes his absences easier to swallow. "He's in a conference or in meetings for more of the day than not," says the Vancouver mom. "Even a fancy dinner can be a chore for him because it's really a business meeting—it's never totally relaxed."
Lamb admits she sometimes romanticizes Ingram's month-long stays in Texas when she's having a bad day. "There are times when I think he has it better because he comes home from work, cooks for himself, goes to bed and only has to worry about himself in the morning," she says. But rather than letting resentment and jealousy build up, Lamb forces herself to remember how hard it is for him to be absent from family life. "He is away from these two little things he loves dearly—and misses a lot."
And non-travelling spouses shouldn't be made to feel like they have it easy because they get to enjoy the comforts of home. They need to feel recognized and valued for the hard work they do. "When spouses start to lose appreciation for the other's role, they lose that sense of solidarity and start to get more competitive," says Macleod.
Be OK with changing routines
When one partner is away, flexibility at home is key. Maybe you skip baths or order pizza more often than usual. It's easy to judge when you're the one who's miles away on a business trip and not in the thick of it, but resist the urge. Being easygoing about what's happening at home has been key to Ken Cuperus's marriage. The Toronto-based TV writer is often away for months at a time while a show is in production, and when he comes home to find his family—wife Michelle, and kids Parker, 13, and Logan, 9—in totally different routines, his willingness to accept them goes a long way toward keeping the peace in his marriage. "They get into new systems when I'm away," he says. "So if I see something new in place when I come home, I'm happy to work myself into it rather than try to disrupt it."
Make time to talk every single day
Couples should try to connect once a day—even if it's just a quick text chat (although Skype or FaceTime would be better)."Sometimes when we go away, we're so lost in our business lives that we may not be tuned in to what's going on at home, and we undermine our connection by not staying in touch," says Direnfeld. Lamb agrees that a daily reconnection has been essential to her marriage: "There's more of a breakdown in the relationship if we don't take five or 10 minutes every day to just have some adult conversation." No big surprise there—the same can probably be said for any marriage, whether there's travel involved or not.
Consider the unexpected benefits
Some marriages actually do better when one partner travels frequently. According to Gary Direnfeld, a Dundas, Ont., social worker and counsellor, separation can act as a "distance regulator," to the benefit of the relationship.
Debra Macleod, a Calgary mediator and relationship coach, agrees. "If a couple can do it right, they can keep that simmering attraction a lot stronger than the couple that's crawling into bed with each other every single night."
Tara Bentall King's husband, Dan Wilton, is away up to 25 percent of the time, travelling for his career in finance. With a three- and five-year-old at home, Bentall King says she'd prefer her husband didn't travel quite so much, but from a relationship perspective, she can definitely see the positives. "We get the opportunity to miss each other, so when we are together, our appreciation for each other goes up."

HOUSE prices in Reading rose by less than £900 last year, according to new research.
The average price for a home in town went from £218,375 in 2002 to £219,264 last year, an increase of just under £889, the study from Halifax Estate Agents shows.
By comparison, the average house price shot up by around £32,200 from December 2001 to November 2002 and by around £28,200 from 2000 to 2001.
The figure puts Reading in 614th place in a league table of the average growth in house prices sold for less than £1 million in 634 UK towns and cities.
All other Berkshire towns, bar neighbouring Bracknell, where prices dropped by two per cent down to just over £191,000, are on the increase.
Ascot came in 115th place in the table and topped the Royal county's list with 29 per cent growth, followed by Newbury, Wokingham, Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough, which came in at number 511 with an eight per cent increase.
Nicholas May, sales manager at estate agency Martin & Pole, in Silverdale Road, Earley, put the figures down to a lack of confidence in the market but said it was a good time to buy and sell because the market is starting to pick up.
Mr May told the Evening Post: "In the last three months the market has picked up and my speculation is that people have held back but are starting to come back on the scene.
"Come January and February, I think the market prices will start increasing, and I don't think there's any cause for concern - the market should considerably improve during 2004.
"The situation in Reading is brilliant with the shopping complexes and the job situation is fantastic.
"The only thing I can see that could affect the market this year is if the interest rate goes up considerably."
Brighouse, in West Yorkshire, was top of the league with a massive 65 per cent growth - the average house price went from £72,205 in 2002 to just under £120,000 last year.
Not one town in the South of England featured in the league's top 30 - Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire comes in at number 38 with an annual increase of 39 per cent.
Ms Pridgeon said: "Although there has been little change in the most expensive and least expensive towns across the UK, the most significant change over the past 12 months has been the narrowing of the gap between the North and the South.
She said: "This narrowing of the North-South divide will continue during 2004 before re-establishing itself in 2005."
property ladder, compared to just under £95,000 up North.
Henley-on-Thames, where a whopping £411,794 is needed to buy a house, topped the list but Reading remains below the southern average with prices stagnating at £219,264.
Bracknell and Slough remain cheaper to live in than Reading but Windsor, Maidenhead, Wokingham and Newbury are all more expensive.


The onset of knee pain after 60 minutes of cycling that is curtailing his enjoyment of being on a bicycle. Additionally the rider has a lower back and neck condition – so in principle more than one significant condition to contend with.
The rider has a general list of issues relating to general comfort on the bike. He has been advised to take pain killers, his position has been modified by several bike fitters already who have also offered him an array of exercises to combat his ailment and advice around posture on the bike. He has been sold various inserts and wedges for his shoes and has taken a scan on his knee to check for damage.
Martin C. works in the city, mid 40s, has commuted to work for 12 years and has taken up sportive riding in the last year. His commute on a flat bar bike is without issue however as soon as he moved to his sportive, race bike his issues surface.
The start point is to strip back some of the changes that have been made so we can review Martin as an 'individual' i.e. remove wedges from shoes, watch him ride his current set up and conduct our own limb measures and postural mobility review.
His starting position is too upright and conservative. There is insufficient room in the top tube, stem and drop (the cockpit) for adequate lengthening of his back which forces an unnatural locking of arms and stiff, upright back position. He was advised by his previous fitting that this would offer a more comfortable position which is a classic misconception for bike riders with lower back issues. His postural assessment revealed he had sufficient mobility to take a more aggressive position. The analysis revealed that he was forced to ride in a relatively cramped position with his knees taking the brunt of the effort rather than pedalling with a smooth action from the glutes and thighs. His knee position relative to pedal using the plumb line test confirmed the misalignment. His original fitter / bike shop had advised a frame a little too small for him.
A longer stem and lay back saddle will help offer the extension that he requires through the cockpit to suit his limb measures. Additionally, the recommendations for the exercises could be significantly trimmed down and targeted to cope with the presenting issues. So rather than spending 45 minutes every morning before riding running through his stretching program this could be shortened to 10 minutes of effective pre-mobilisation exercises.
Martin now has a much better understanding of where his issues are coming from and why. The months of searching for answers has finally paid off and we anticipate trouble free cycling for Martin. In this case, using the plumb line measure to assess knee / pedal alignment was relevant and useful. We don't have a set formula for the fitting assessment rather take a holistic approach which enables us to offer an independent review. We can combine bike size, bike geometry, bike set up and postural mobility to find the suitable position.

Healthcheck for ancient New Forest way of life
An ancient way of life which shapes the New Forest landscape will have its first healthcheck in 10 years when 'commoners' will be asked their views.
There are around 700 practising commoners who own or rent land which has 'common rights', allowing them to let their animals roam the ancient landscape. Last year they turned out a total of just over 7,000 ponies, donkeys and cattle which were allowed to graze on the open Forest, as well as more than 500 pigs.
Grazing by commoners' animals helps maintain the rare open heath and wood pasture, preventing the landscape from turning to scrub and supporting precious habitats and a wide range of wildlife.
This month commoners will receive a confidential census in the post from the Verderers who protect and administer this unique agricultural practice. They will be asked for details about their way of life, their views on the future of commoning, and the most serious threats they are facing. This is the third in a series of census, previously conducted in 1991 and 2001, so it will provide invaluable data on trends in commoning.
Commoning today is viable only with financial support. Fortunately a 'Higher Level Stewardship Scheme' agreement with Natural England, which is worth £16 million over 10 years, enables not only the support of commoning but also significant wetland restoration work in the Forest This is currently the largest such Scheme in Europe, and is managed by a partnership between the Verderers of the New Forest, the Forestry Commission and the New Forest National Park Authority.
Commoners will be asked in the census how they think that some of the money from the Stewardship Scheme should be used to support commoning.
Announcing the census in the Verderers' Court on 19 January, Mr Oliver Crosthwaite Eyre, the Official Verderer, said: 'The 2011 census will have special significance because it has been tailored to allow us to find out what measures need to be taken to support commoning in the years ahead with the help of the Higher Level Stewardship Scheme. The census will be a valuable tool to help us decide how to spend this money wisely so that the benefits continue well beyond the 10-year lifespan of the scheme. Indeed the project to upgrade the Beaulieu Road [pony] SaleYard is a good example of how we wish to use these funds to provide a lasting legacy.
'All the census forms will be treated in the strictest confidence and will not be shared with any other person or organisation, and any personal information that could help identify a respondent will be removed.
'I urge all recipients to complete and return the forms which will help us gain a clear picture of what matters to practising commoners today, and what needs to be done in the future to support them.'
Researcher Jo Ivey said that the questionnaire will cover a range of aspects including whether younger people are coming into commoning and who is still turning animals out onto the Forest. She said: 'Issues which have previously been raised and might come up again include the market for New Forest stock, land, housing, road accidents involving animals and the many pressures which threaten the future of this way of life.'
Interesting Facts:
There are six registered Common Rights:
Pasture Grazing ponies, cattle and donkeys on the Forest
Sheep Grazing sheep on the Forest
Mast Turning pigs out on the Forest in the Autumn to feed on beech mast and acorns, known as the 'pannage season'
Marl Taking clay to fertilize agricultural land (no longer exercised)
Estovers Gathering firewood
Turbary Cutting turfs for fuel (no longer exercised)
