The available evidence has typically resulted from survey and observation-based investigations. Both methods are limited in their capacity to adequately document contextual information, necessary to enrich the understanding of these exposures. This thesis appears to be the first study to investigate child SHS exposure within 'private' spaces using photographs captured by automated wearable cameras. The photographic evidence was collected as part of the Kids'Cam study: one of the first studies in New Zealand and internationally to use automated wearable cameras to collect data of what can be seen by children. Raw survey data from the 2014 ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) Year 10 Snapshot survey (n= 31,020) and the 2014 HPA (Health Promotion Agency) Youth Insights Survey (YIS) (n= 2,919) were analysed alongside the Kids'Cam photographs. This allowed the utility of the photo data to be assessed. The Kids'Cam sample used was 140,818 photos which were captured during 669 hours in 102 days by 34 children (Māori, Pacific and New Zealand European) living in households with smokers. When screened, 99 tobacco-related incidents were identified, 62 of which were of tobacco-related paraphernalia only; tobacco pouches, loose tobacco, cigarette packets, cigarettes, rolling papers, filter tips, and cigarette butts. Only two incidents of in-vehicle smoking were photographed by single New Zealand European and Pacific participants. Māori participants photographed indoor (0.26 incidents/day) and outdoor (0.24 incidents/day) home-based smoking at the highest rates (incident/day). In both surveys, Māori were significantly (p < 0.05) more likely than all other ethnic groups to report at least one day of home-based SHS exposure during the previous week (54% HPA, 52% ASH). In the 2014 HPA YIS, females were statistically (p < 0.05) more likely to have been reported smoking around children inside of their homes during the previous week. In the Kids'Cam data, females were most likely to be photographed smoking by the Kids'Cam participants in each type of the 'private spaces'. A total of 18 adults were photographed smoking, of which 13 (72.2%) were female and five (27.8%) were male. The Kids'Cam photos revealed that participants encountered tobacco paraphernalia more frequently than smoking. The photographs suggest that parents were either unaware of the harm posed by tobacco-marketing and paraphernalia, or discounted paraphernalia as being an influential driver toward smoking. The photo data is advantageous in that it adds to the existing body of knowledge by offering insights as to the insidious nature of tobacco, supplementary to the data derived from surveys or field-based observations. The main disadvantage of this study is the small sample size. Time restrictions allowed for the photo data from only 34 participants to be screened. Within this, there was a high level of inter-participant variability with respect to the quality and quantity of the captured photographs. This limited the extent to which meaningful comparisons could be made within the Kids'Cam sample, and with the two sets of survey data. The findings from this thesis strongly support the need to implement plain packaging and in-vehicle smoking bans within New Zealand. This is imperative for reducing the tobacco-related harm of children. The need to allocate additional funding for mass media campaigns is also discussed. 2016-11-07T01:46:28Z Behind the front desk: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the talk of General Practice Receptionists about health inequities Manhire-Heath, Rowan Kathleen http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6822 2016-10-09T20:12:08Z 2016-10-09T20:11:38Z Behind the front desk: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the talk of General Practice Receptionists about health inequities 2016 Manhire-Heath, Rowan Kathleen General Practice Receptionists (GPRs) are an under-researched and undervalued group of healthcare workers, both in Aotearoa/New Zealand and internationally, evidenced by the limited data on—and research involving—GPRs. As such, their influence on a patient's experience within the primary healthcare system is unknown. This research explores the discursive patterns of a small group of GPRs within the Wellington region of Aotearoa/New Zealand to discover how GPRs talk about—and represent—health disparities. Eight in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, guided by Social Constructionism, Decolonising Theory and Kaupapa Māori research principles. Through a Critical Discourse Analysis of the interview transcripts, three reoccurring patterns of discourses emerged that may have implications for the way Māori patients are viewed and treated. These were: discourses about the social determinants of health; discourses about Māori culture and behaviour; and discourses of egalitarianism. These findings suggest the impact of limited training opportunities for GPRs and highlight the need for anti-racism education to be accessible and formally embedded for this group of frontline health workers. Better recognition of the role GPRs play in the quality of a patient's health journey is needed and further research into the implications of these findings is recommended. 2016-10-09T20:11:38Z Does the sport-related food environment support children's right to health? Smith, Moira Beatrice http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6730 2016-08-10T14:02:08Z 2016-08-09T21:09:59Z Does the sport-related food environment support children's right to health? 2016 Smith, Moira Beatrice Under the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), children have the right to health and live in conditions that support that right, including a healthy food environment. However, a substantial proportion of the child population in New Zealand bear the burden of diet-related chronic conditions, especially overweight and obesity, type 2 diabetes and dental caries, suggesting that not all New Zealand children's rights are being realised. Children's dietary patterns are shaped by physical, socio-cultural, economic and political elements of their food environments. Food is strongly associated with sport. Consequently, sport and sport settings constitute an important part of children's food environments. However, little is known about how children and parents view the New Zealand sport-related food environment, and how well it supports children's right to health. This study aimed to understand the nature of the sport-related food environment from children's and parents' point-of-view and their opinions on it, and to determine its compliance with, and reasons for any breaches of, UNCRC. Children (n=82) and parents (n=32) were purposively selected from football, netball and rugby clubs in Wellington, New Zealand, and given cameras to record the food related items they associated with sport. The photographs were used in focus groups to determine children's and parents' views on the sport-related food environment. The data were analysed using thematic analysis, guided by the Analysis Grid for Environments Linked to Obesity framework, and contextualized using a child right's approach. On balance, children and parents report the sport-related food environment in New Zealand is obesogenic. It would appear that the nature of the New Zealand's sport-related food environment is such that children's rights to healthy food and to the availability of nutrition information are not realised, children are not adequately protected from exploitation and harm as they entitled to, and that it does not support parents in meeting their responsibilities in providing a healthy food environment for their children. Such breaches of children's rights indicate that the decisions made within the sport-related food environment prioritise economic factors and food industry self-interest over children's best interests. As such, the New Zealand sport-related food environment does not support children's right to health. Improving children's sport-related food environment requires a comprehensive approach involving a range of interventions, and underpinned by UNCRC so that the decisions made within it are weighted in favour of children's health and well-being. As signatories to UNCRC, governments have international legal obligations to implement all necessary measures to respect, protect and fulfil children's rights. Accompanied by global guidance, such leadership would support parents, sports coaches, clubs and organisations, and health professionals and other civil society members who also have responsibilities to children in this arena. Sport is a global phenomenon and it would appear that the New Zealand sport-related food environment, and children's and parents' views on it, are similar to other countries. Thus, the findings of this study may be relevant to other governments, and to sports clubs and sporting organisations internationally. 2016-08-09T21:09:59Z Making sense of Stomach cancer Inequities in Aotearoa New Zealand Signal, Virginia Claire http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6681 2016-07-08T14:02:07Z 2016-07-08T04:06:05Z Making sense of Stomach cancer Inequities in Aotearoa New Zealand 2016 Signal, Virginia Claire Background Stomach cancer is an important disease for Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand. Māori are more likely to be diagnosed with stomach cancer than non-Māori and have poorer survival. The higher incidence in Māori can be attributed to differential distribution of risk factors. Cancer survival, though, is an indicator of the access to and quality of cancer care with ethnic differences in survival providing a marker of the equity of health care delivery. Objectives To investigate: Quantitative Phase 1. Patient, disease, treatment, health care access and outcome characteristics of a cohort of patients with stomach cancer. 2. Whether there were Māori/non-Māori differences in treatment timeliness, quality and quantity. 3. If differences exist, how these differences contributed to Māori/non-Māori stomach cancer survival. Qualitative Phase 4. What key informants identify as issues for stomach cancer treatment in New Zealand, with a focus on Māori. 5. The interventions key informants identify that may improve access to, and quality of, stomach cancer treatment in New Zealand. Methods All Māori diagnosed between January 2006 and December 2008 were identified from the New Zealand Cancer Registry and compared with a randomly-selected equal number of non-Māori. Clinical data were obtained through a clinical notes review. Survival data were obtained from the national mortality database. Characteristics and treatment of Māori and non-Māori cohorts were compared using age- and sex-standardised prevalence rates. Cancer-specific mortality hazard ratios were sequentially adjusted for demographic factors, disease factors, patient comorbidity, and health care access factors to assess their contribution to survival disparities. Fifteen key informant interviews were held to investigate those points of the treatment pathway that the quantitative findings suggested were inequitable for Māori. Results 172 Māori and 163 non-Māori with stomach cancer were compared. Stage and grade distributions were similar between the ethnic groups. Māori were more likely to live rurally and in highly deprived quintiles, and had higher prevalence of comorbidity than non-Māori. Māori were more likely to be diagnosed with tumours located in the distal stomach (43% Māori, 26% non-Māori, p =<0.05). Māori and non-Māori stage I-III patients received similar rates of surgical resection. Māori were less likely to have surgery performed by a specialist surgeon (38% Māori, 79% non-Māori, p<0.01), and less likely to be treated in a main centre (43% Māori, 83% non-Māori, p<0.01). After adjusting for a range of factors Māori appeared to have 30% poorer survival (Hazard ratio 1.30, 95% CI 0.96-1.76). Key informants indicated that inconsistent delivery of cancer services, especially impacting on smaller, less well-resourced DHBs, was the primary barrier to equitable stomach cancer treatment. Recently implemented health systems initiatives are expected to standardise care nationally, however a range of further interventions, particularly focussed on better addressing regional care, communication between services and comorbidity, were identified. Conclusion The findings of this thesis suggest that New Zealand's health care system delivers better cancer care to non-Māori in a number of respects. Achieving equitable care for Māori will require a variety of interventions along the stomach cancer pathway that combine health system level, health care process level and patient level factors. 2016-07-08T04:06:05Z Do young adults make informed choices about smoking? Gray, Rebecca Jane http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6680 2016-07-08T14:02:08Z 2016-07-08T02:59:18Z Do young adults make informed choices about smoking? 2016 Gray, Rebecca Jane When lobbying against tobacco control policies, tobacco companies have claimed that people who smoke make an "informed adult choice". Although in the past most smokers were children when they started to smoke, in recent years smoking uptake has increasingly occurred among young adults. Whilst it is generally considered that children cannot make informed choices about whether to start smoking, the tobacco industry's logic suggests that young adults can and do. This thesis reports on mixed methods research investigating how an informed choice about smoking can be defined, and whether people who take up smoking as young adults make an informed choice to do so. Informed choice is defined differently when applied to health related-decisions in a medical context, compared with a commercial context. Individuals are required to demonstrate competency and understanding of risk to their medical practitioner before agreeing to a medical procedure. By contrast, individual consumer choices are generally considered to be informed as long as they have access to relevant information and have not been misled or deceived. People's use of products that are hazardous to their health may therefore be framed as their own responsibility. Neoliberal ideas about personal freedom and responsibility have become popular in Western political discourse since the 1980s. The tobacco industry initially denied or obfuscated the link between smoking and health risks. However, since this became no longer tenable, tobacco industry lobbying has increasingly invoked ideological arguments about choice. An analysis of internal industry documents showed that "informed adult choice" statements are used strategically by industry lobbyists. They oppose tobacco control regulation on the grounds that it would limit individual choice, and deny responsibility for harm on the grounds that smokers are exercising their informed choice when they smoke. This research was initially designed around a framework that proposes four levels of risk awareness that a person should demonstrate in order to be adequately informed about taking up smoking (general and disease-specific awareness, understanding of the severity and probably of risks and acceptance that the risk apply personally). Evidence about some health risks associated with smoking has been highly publicised over recent decades. Therefore the idea that all adults are now aware of risks has some plausibility. However the risks are numerous and complex, and smokers' risk acceptance is influenced by cognitive and contextual biases. Full awareness, understanding and acceptance are therefore less certain. Two original studies investigated informed choice about smoking among young adult New Zealanders aged 18 to 25 years. In the first study, fifteen in-depth qualitative interviews with young adults who had started smoking since the age of 18 (the legal tobacco purchase age) explored risk awareness, risk acceptance and participants' thinking about smoking now and at the time they developed a regular smoking pattern. Structured and thematic analyses of these interviews showed that participants initially avoided personalising risks because they saw smoking as a short-term activity unique to their current life phase. In many cases they had passively adopted smoking behaviour without consciously or deliberately deciding they wanted to become smokers. Despite having had a general awareness that smoking caused health problems, participants reflected that they had not fully understood what those risks entailed before they started smoking. Addiction was particularly difficult to understand without personal experience. Older participants described an upsetting transition from assuming that they were psychologically strong enough to resist addiction to realising that quitting was difficult for them. Younger participants and non-daily smokers were still confident that they could control the amount they smoked and quit once it no longer appealed. The study's findings indicated that factors other than risk awareness limited young adults' exercise of informed choice. These included environmental influences and use of alcohol, lack of conscious decision-making, and underestimation of addiction. These factors were added to an updated informed choice framework. In the second study, an online survey of 522 18 to 25 year old New Zealanders, including 185 smokers, aimed to quantify how informed young adults were about different levels of smoking-related risk and how prevalent certain barriers to informed choice were. Most respondents could, without prompting, name at least one health risk related to smoking. They gave, on average, accurate estimates of the loss of life due to smoking. However, respondents' detailed awareness of specific risks and their severity was lower. Addiction was particularly underestimated. Those who smoked or were susceptible to smoking were more prone to impulsive and risk-taking decision making, had higher exposure to smoking in their social environments, and took many of the health risks less seriously. A summary of smokers' responses to questions addressing seven levels of informed choice showed that on average they were probably not informed on five out of seven levels, and definitely not informed for three of the seven levels. The study's findings suggest that young adults' ability to exercise informed choice about smoking is limited by their short-term focus, the mixed messages and competing information they receive about smoking and its risks; and the ubiquity of tobacco in their social environments. Because young adults value a sense of control, they wish to see their smoking as an informed choice and may accept the tobacco industry's argument, at least initially. However once they have some experience with smoking and its harms, they consider their earlier actions as uninformed. Young adults in both the qualitative and quantitative studies became less sure that they were well informed after participating in the research, indicating that they had not thought in such detail about smoking-related risks before. The study's major implication is that information alone is not likely to lead to informed choices, particularly given young adults' low regard for their risk of addiction and high likelihood of starting to smoke without giving the potential consequences serious consideration. Therefore, environmental interventions addressing availability of tobacco are likely to be needed if young adults are to make fully informed choices about whether to take up smoking. 2016-07-08T02:59:18Z Individual and collective action for healthy rental housing in New Zealand: an historical and contemporary study Chisholm, Elinor http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6627 2016-06-24T02:54:08Z 2016-06-24T02:53:17Z Individual and collective action for healthy rental housing in New Zealand: an historical and contemporary study 2016 Chisholm, Elinor Substandard, insecure, and unaffordable housing affects health, contributing to the spread of infectious disease, susceptibility to respiratory illness, and to feelings of stress and anxiety. In New Zealand, people who rent are most likely to experience health problems related to housing. This study explores the connections between power and housing as social determinants of health by investigating the ability of New Zealand tenants to individually and collectively represent their interests in order to obtain healthy housing. The first part of the study is based on archival records and chronicles the five key phases of New Zealand tenant protest, during which tenants organised for affordable, secure and quality housing through political advocacy, tenant support services, and direct action. Tenant protest groups worked for rent controls in 1916 and 1920, against evictions during the Depression, for better quality and lower rents in the 1970s, against market rents for state housing in the 1990s, and against the redevelopment of state housing communities in the 2010s. Such groups helped individuals retain, gain or improve their housing, and contributed to policy and law change that helped people access healthy housing. However, tenant groups faced common challenges which meant that their actions were small scale and intermittent. In addition, state promotion of homeownership meant tenants were more likely to try to leave the rental sector rather than work towards its improvement. In discussing the results, I draw on Albert Hirschman's exit-voice framework, Kemeny's housing typologies, and the literature on collective action and social movements. The second part of the study consists of a survey of tenants and interviews with tenant advocates, which explore how tenants are able to represent their interests at an individual level, in relation to their landlord or the courts. Key issues facing tenants were insecurity, affordability, and poor quality housing. When tenants were able to represent their interests, often with the assistance of a tenant advocate, they could improve their housing. However, tenants often chose against representing their interests due to a lack of knowledge of or confidence in asserting their rights, as well as the high costs of doing so in terms of time and effort, the experience that reporting housing problems does not lead to their resolution, and the fear of risking their tenancy. In discussing the results, I draw on Hirschman's exit-voice framework and Steven Lukes' work on hidden dimensions of power. This thesis shows that tenant representation can support health by helping tenants access secure, affordable, and quality housing. But tenants are limited in their ability to represent themselves. The health disadvantages of tenants are inextricably linked to their power disadvantages. At an individual level, housing insecurity makes asserting their rights, as the legislation requires them to do, a risky endeavour, especially for low-income people. At the political level, group representation by tenants is limited by resource constraints and policies that make home-ownership the rational option for anyone who can afford to. The thesis makes the case that improving tenant health requires interventions that account for power disparities, and suggests that tenants are important allies in working towards healthier housing. 2016-06-24T02:53:17Z Cancer in the Context of Severe Mental Illness in New Zealand: An Epidemiological Study Cunningham, Ruth http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6574 2016-06-17T14:02:31Z 2016-06-17T02:21:40Z Cancer in the Context of Severe Mental Illness in New Zealand: An Epidemiological Study 2016 Cunningham, Ruth Background Experience of severe mental illness is associated with poor physical health and premature death. This issue has received little research attention in New Zealand. This thesis explores the burden of cancer amongst people with severe mental illness in New Zealand. Aims This thesis aims to answer four questions: 1. Is cancer an important cause of morbidity and mortality among adults living with severe mental illness in New Zealand? 2. Is cancer contributing to differences in health outcomes between people with severe mental illness and others in the population? 3. What are the factors that are contributing to any differences in cancer outcomes between people with severe mental illness and others in the population? 4. Does the relationship between mental illness and cancer vary by mental health diagnosis or cancer type? Methods Recent contact with secondary mental health services was used as a proxy for experience of severe mental illness. Anonymised national data on secondary mental health service contacts for adults aged 18-64 (2001-2010) were linked to cancer registrations and mortality records (2006-2010). Annual cancer incidence and mortality rates among people in contact with mental health services in the five years prior to cancer diagnosis/death were estimated, and standardised for comparison with annual rates for the New Zealand population. People diagnosed with breast and colorectal cancers in 2006-2010 were identified. Cancer-specific survival was compared for recent mental health service users and nonusers using Cox regression. The contribution of cancer stage at diagnosis, deprivation and physical comorbidity to survival differences were explored for people with diagnoses of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (Group A) and others in contact with mental health services (Group B). Results Nearly two thousand (1876) cancers occurred over five years among people with a history of recent mental health service use. The standardised incidence of cancer was similar in this group and the general population [SIR 1.03 (95% CI 0.98-1.08)], while lung cancer was more common [SIR 1.98 (1.73-2.26)] and prostate cancer less common [SIR 0.66 (0.54-0.8)]. Mortality from all cancers combined was higher among people in recent contact with mental health services compared to the general population [SMR 2.21(2.07-2.37)]. Of 8762 and 4022 people with breast and colorectal cancer respectively, 440 (breast) and 190 (colorectal) had recent contact with mental health services. After adjusting for demographic confounders, the risk of death from breast cancer was increased for Group A [Hazard Ratio (HR) 2.55 (1.49–4.35)] and B [HR 1.62 (1.09–2.39)], and from colorectal cancer for Group A [HR 2.92 (1.75–4.87)], compared to others in the population. Later stage at diagnosis contributed to survival differences for Group A, and comorbidity contributed for both groups. Fully adjusted HR estimates were breast: Group A 1.65 (0.96–2.84), B 1.41 (0.95–2.09); colorectal: Group A 1.89 (1.12–3.17), B 1.25 (0.89–1.75)]. Conclusions Cancer diagnosis overall was equally common, and the risk of lung cancer was higher, among people with severe mental illness compared to the general population, while cancer mortality was more than doubled. Commonly used methods can, however, result in biased underestimation of cancer incidence. Survival disparities between people with mental illness and others in the population were evident for both breast and colorectal cancers, and related to the high burden of comorbid physical illness, and late stage at cancer diagnosis (for Group A only). Interventions to reduce tobacco use and improve cancer detection and care have the potential to improve physical health in those with experience of mental illness. 2016-06-17T02:21:40Z Known unknowns: Evidence of health co-benefits of decarbonising the transport sector Shaw, Caroline http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6415 2016-05-05T14:02:11Z 2016-05-04T23:14:16Z Known unknowns: Evidence of health co-benefits of decarbonising the transport sector 2016 Shaw, Caroline Theory and modelling studies suggest that some interventions to decarbonise emissions in the transport sector can, in addition to the long-term benefits from contributing to stabilising the global climate, have substantial short-term benefits for population health. Policies that encourage active modes of transportation, for example, may increase population physical activity or decrease air pollution, thus reducing the burden of conditions such as colon cancer, diabetes, heart disease and dementia. This thesis was concerned with examining the evidence to support these co-benefits through two pieces of research; a systematic review of evidence and a natural experiment analysis. The systematic review searched for evidence on whether policies that decrease transport sector CO2 emissions have a measurable effect on health determinants, population health and/or health inequalities under 'real-world' conditions. Twenty-two studies of eleven relevant interventions from four countries were identified after the review process. These interventions were mostly of personalised travel planning and showed modest increases in active transport, such as walking, and reductions in vehicle use and CO2 emissions. The majority of the studies identified in the review were poor quality, and, with one exception, the validity of the reported results cannot be assumed. The natural experiment analysis utilised the variations in petrol and diesel price in New Zealand to explore whether increases in price have an impact on transport-related air pollution. This was intended to be a 'natural experiment' or proxy, to estimate whether an effective carbon price would have a discernible impact on health outcomes through reduced air pollution. A causal diagram was used to inform the analysis. Linear regression was conducted on a weekly time-series of NOx, from four roadside air quality monitoring stations around New Zealand, and fuel pricing data, from 2001 to 2013. Splines were used to remove seasonal and long-term trends. The model was adjusted for the presence of a public holiday during the week. Exploration of the lagged price exposure and NOx outcome was also undertaken. Fixed effects meta-analysis of results from the four stations was undertaken, as were multiple sensitivity analyses using different methods of removing trends, co-variates, and air pollutant outcomes. The adjusted models, for all except one air quality station, showed a modest reduction in NOx associated with an increase in (unlagged) petrol price. For example, data from Khyber Pass air quality station a 1% increase in petrol price was associated with a 0.71% (95% CI -3.04 to 1.61) reduction in NOx. All confidence intervals included the null. The lagged models (with each lagged petrol exposure entered into a separate model) did not show consistent patterns in all four stations however two stations had (non-significant) patterns suggestive of an initial drop in NOx after a price rise, followed by a rebound increase, resulting in little net change over the two month period studied. This pattern was also seen in the meta-analysis, although many of the estimates remained non-significant. The findings for the diesel price and NOx association were similar, but attenuated, to petrol price and NOx associations. Sensitivity analyses showed similar associations for all other air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, and CO). Including meteorological co-variates did not consistently alter the direction or statistical significance of the association. The association between fuel price and NOx was sensitive to the method and amount of de-trending used in the model. The existing body of real-world evidence to support health co-benefits of decarbonising the transport sector is limited. This analysis provided some support for the existence of a short-term association between fuel price changes and transport-related air pollutants, although the net impact over the time period studied was probably neutral. There were issues with analysis power, de-trending techniques and construct validity of the results. There are methods to improve the breadth and quality of evidence in the area of decarbonisation co-benefits. However, the complexity of the area and the need to act quickly to reduce emissions means that there may be ongoing uncertainty about both the carbon and health impacts of many policies. 2016-05-04T23:14:16Z

How To Get Rid of Ferret Smell
Ferrets are cute animals and people, especially kids, love to play with them. However, ferrets have an offensive smell and it only takes a few moments before it can get to you. If you have a pet ferret, probably know how smelly they can get. If you have recently played with a pet ferret, you can get that undesirable odor too if their smell is powerful enough (and at most times it is). If you want to know how to get rid of ferret smell, you can read and do these following tips:
Proper bathing and hygiene
No matter how many times you try to bathe your ferret, their musky smell will stay so you can hardly do anything about removing your ferret's smell. You must know that ferrets naturally smell this way so you can never get rid of this even though you wash them a lot of times. As a matter of fact, ferrets should not be washed very often as their skin will get to dry, making it produce more skin oil which can even make their odor more even powerful.
You must also take note of your ferrets ears and teeth. Over time, wax will build on your ferret's ear so remember to use cotton swab to clean them. Also, you should get special brush and toothpaste for your ferret to avoid bad breath.
Proper and clean cage
Ferret smell can be lessened when you clean the ferret's cage properly. Just take the time to clean their cage once a weak and keep the mini ferret furniture in place. Replace their bedding regularly, clean their litters, food boxes and everything on your ferret's house. Ferrets are also intelligent and can be litter-trained so if you want your ferret's smell to become a bit lighter, you can train them to be hygienic.
If you think you have done everything to clean their cage but it still stink after you put the ferret back in, this may be because the cage is too small and poorly ventilated. Ferrets move a lot so a spacious cage and good ventilation is needed to lessen that ferret smell.
Balanced diet
You must serve your ferret with only the nutritious foods that will promote their health. Serve them with foods that are good for you such as food containing healthy fibers. Avoid giving them foods that you need to avoid as well such as foods with bad fatty acids.
Promote a happy environment
If you keep your ferrets happy, their disposition will be much better. Remember, when ferrets are frightened or scared, they might emit more undesirable ferret smell, so keep them away from dangerous places and animals. Also remind people around to approach them in a nice way.
Surgical procedure
Although it is not yet widely promoted, there are some experts who administer surgical procedure to remove the ferret glands that produce their smell. This is quite costly and can risk your ferret's help. Some people also disapprove of this procedure so do think before choosing to send your ferret to undergo surgery.
Ferrets are happy and clean animals despite of their smell. The best thing to do if you are an owner or a soon to be owner of a ferret is to know the basics on how to take care of them. That way, you will master how to take good care of your pet and how to get rid of that extra nasty ferret smell.

If the NBA season ended Wednesday, the Boston Celtics would hold the third seed in the Eastern Conference. It's a spot they'd be well-served to be holding when the season actually ends in a little more than a month.
The Milwaukee Bucks -- the team that stood nose-to-nose with Boston on Tuesday night in Milwaukee and emerged with a gritty victory -- have surged to the fifth seed in the East and would be in line to meet the fourth seed in the opening round of the playoffs.
That's a spot where the Celtics could very easily find themselves sitting when the 2009-10 season ends on April 14. While Boston currently holds a one-game edge in the loss column over the Atlanta Hawks (who have played one game more), Atlanta holds the tiebreaker after sweeping Boston during the regular season.
The path to the NBA Finals for the fourth seed is likely to look like this: Bucks in Round 1, Cleveland Cavaliers in Round 2, Hawks or Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals.
While the Celtics will tell you that it doesn't matter which team they see in the postseason or when, it goes without saying that the above scenario is hardly an ideal road map to postseason success.
Boston is a combined 3-9 against those four potential opponents, including a cringe-worthy 1-5 at home.
Imagine a seven-game, first-round series with the Bucks, in which every game drips with the intensity that Tuesday's contest featured. Ponder the mental and physical toll that could take on a team that would then have to turn around and play LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
Heck, you don't even have to imagine. Boston saw a similar scenario last season, when an upstart Chicago Bulls team took the Celtics to seven games in what some dubbed the most memorable first-round series in NBA playoff history.
Boston, already depleted by injuries, didn't have enough left in the tank in the second round to get past the Magic, who ultimately advanced to the NBA Finals.
The Celtics undeniably played a rather awful game Tuesday night. Paul Pierce (3-of-13, 12 points), Ray Allen (0-for-3, 3 points) and Kendrick Perkins (3-of-9, 6 points) were downright dreadful from the floor, leaving Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo to shoulder the load.
Pierce got a chance to atone with a final shot that could have forced overtime, but his fadeaway over Andrew Bogut rimmed out at the buzzer. Boston put itself in that unenviable position by being unable to stop the Bucks late in the game as Milwaukee made six straight shots while embarking on a 14-2 run to open an 86-79 advantage with 2:42 to go.
The Bucks didn't score again, but they didn't have to.
Milwaukee has won 10 of 11 games since the trade deadline, the only loss in that span a 106-102 overtime defeat at Atlanta.
It's the type of run in which a team earns the label as the team no one wants to see in the playoffs. But if the Bucks remain hot and the Celtics continue to struggle against quality opponents, then a first-round matchup is highly probable.
That's daunting because Bogut is finally looking like a top overall pick; adding John Salmons might have been one of the top deadline moves for any playoff contender; Carlos Delfino scores only in increments of 3; and Brandon Jennings remains one of the top young players in the league. Tuesday's game ended with the rookie jawing at Garnett as they walked off the court next to each other.
Should the Celtics end up matched up against Milwaukee, they'll have no one to blame but themselves. The Celtics' inconsistent play leaves them jockeying for position over the final quarter of the season.
As Pierce lamented last week, if the Celtics had taken care of their home court better to this point, they'd probably be battling Orlando for the second seed. Instead, they'll likely be scoreboard watching with the Hawks over these final 20 contests.
This is exactly why the regular season matters. Perkins suggested last month that some inside the Celtics' locker room haven't valued the regular season in part because of Boston's stellar road record, which may have given the team a false sense of invincibility. As that thinking goes, Boston has been so successful away from home that home-court advantage isn't the luxury it might have been in seasons past.
"Listen, we came to play hard, we just didn't play well [Tuesday]," Celtics coach Doc Rivers admitted after the Milwaukee loss.
It's an encouraging sign that the Celtics played hard against a quality opponent -- that alone is a step in the right direction -- but the loss showed just how challenging the road to banner 18 could be.

Loved going to Salt Lick for 30 years. Pulled pork sandwich was great today.
Picked it up for the Cowboys game... Trinity and sides a winning combination!!
Haven't been here in while....its really become quite an event center! I'd have to give the atmosphere 5 stars. Now on to the BBQ...had the brisket, ribs, turkey & sausage. Have to give the top dibs to the turkey. Great smoke flavor without being overwhelming. Moist. Delicious. Brisket pretty good but not quite flavorful enough. Moist. Ribs were quite good as well! Sausage had a good flavor but a little too fatty for me. Beans were very good. Potato salad was good too. Cole slaw is vinegar based. Not my fav. Tried both blackberry and peach cobbler with ice cream. Delicious, but I would have liked it a little sweeter. Rest of my family thought they were great. All in all, 3.5 stars.
Not too impressed by this one. If you go to a BBQ joint for the atmosphere and sitting outside then this is the place. The have this open pit where the meat is kept warm but that is all for show. If you go for the meat you may be disappointed. The BBQ sauce was orange and reminded me of a dressed up Heinze 57 sauce.
We went to the Salt Lick in Round Top. This place is a GREAT place to go with the family. Great service, friendly people, you go there and have a new friend. This visit the BBQ was really very good. The moist brisket was spicy and very moist and tender, the pork rib was very good with a slight sweetness, the sausage is a true polish style which is a bit different then most other joints and very good, the only complaint was it was very salty. Overall I have been here many times with my family and always enjoy it. Great job!!
Loved the place and getting to see the way they cook was pretty cool. BBQ was okay
Good enough. The sauce and I do no agree.
Long wait today....
The image above is probably the most well-known in Texas barbecue. A photo of, or with, the iconic pit at the Salt Lick is on par with braking for our state's bluebonnets along the highway. This particular photo fetched me nearly 3,000 likes on Instagram. My best image of a Franklin Barbecue brisket? 1,163 likes. The open pit's flaming live oak and the tendrils of sausage hanging above mesmerizes, so much so that Salt Lick literally…
I've often thought that the Salt Lick is a joint that serves very respectable smoked meat, and is vastly overrated at the same time. The wait for a table on this sprawling campus of barbecue can exceed and hour, but no worries as you can enjoy drinks and live music al fresco on one of the many picnic tables provided. A visit here isn't just about barbecue. It's about atmosphere, catching up with friends, and…
The Salt Lick is renowned throughout Texas, and holds a special place in the heart of BBQ fanatics. Many recent reviews have decried the demise of this mecca of Texas BBQ claiming that it's all about atmosphere, and not enough about what's in the pits. The setting alone may be worth the drive if you come with a group of friends. The large group of picnic tables and BYOB policy make for a tailgate party…

Editorial: San Francisco throwing off the chain stores
San Francisco has benefited enormously from the tech boom in the nearby Silicon Valley, as wealthy tech employees have moved in to the city, raising property values and local tax revenue. That success is conflicting with the city's grandiose, progressive sensibilities. Now, it is struggling with how to deal with chain stores.
The Planning Commission passed a pair of measures this month that would affect the city's treatment of "formula retail" chain stores. Under current law, businesses with more than 11 U.S. locations that wish to open an additional store in San Francisco are subject to more burdensome regulations. One Planning Commission measure endorsed increasing this threshold to 19 stores, and another supported including overseas locations in that total. The decisions are not binding on the Board of Supervisors, which is expected to take up the issue in September.
Chain stores have been a serious issue in San Francisco for at least a decade. The city has imposed additional chain-store regulations since 2004, and, in 2006, residents imposed further restrictions through Proposition G, which established the 11-locations standard. Businesses above this threshold must obtain a conditional use permit, which requires a determination that the proposed new store is "necessary and desirable."
In a free society, the necessity and desirability of a business is determined by whether it is managed well enough, and enough people buy its products, to make a profit and keep its doors open – but this is command-and-control San Francisco.
San Francisco has painted itself into a corner by (heavy-handedly) trying to preserve the "charm" of mom-and-pop stores in its neighborhoods while still appealing to the poor, who are increasingly struggling to keep up with living costs being pushed up by the thriving tech industry. By encouraging mom-and-pop stores over larger chain stores able to offer larger selections of goods at cheaper prices, it is helping to price the poor right out of the city.
It would do better to let the market – not politicians or bureaucrats – determine how best to meet San Franciscans' needs, and remember that Walmart once was a mom-and-pop store, too. The success of such chain stores means they are serving the needs of many, many people, which is to be celebrated, not vilified.

The fairgrounds have expanded to accommodate large rally groups. Our group parked over 700 coaches. 535 had 3 point hookups. Another 165 had 2 point hookups. Dry camping sites went on for ever. If you are planning a stop there be sure to call to ensure no large event is going on. The fairgrounds/campground are actually located south of Lewisburg. Access from the Interstate is through the town of Lewisburg. Traffic can be a bear at times. - CharlieB

There are apparently several campground areas. However we stayed in the South area which provides both 30 and 50 amp service. Excellent location for touring the Lewisburg and White Sulphur Springs (Greenbrier) area. There are no bathroom facilities available. We'd definitely stay there again. - dandd
Sep 2012 - $22.00
We stayed at this park for one night in September while passing through the area. The rate reflects the Good Sam price. We called the office, made our reservation, paid by credit card, and were given directions. We requested a 50 amp site and were told that those were located along the fence line. The sites are grass and the ground was a little soft from rain when we were there, but we were able to level without too much trouble. Water and sewer hook ups are available. Several of the faucets no longer had knobs to turn on/off the water, but you could turn on/off with channel locks. We actually left our channel locks there for someone else to enjoy (not intentionally). It's a no frills campground, but certainly one that serves its purpose. We would stay again if passing through the area. - Guinness

Nice place right alongside the river for boaters & floaters. Stayed only one night though because the highway noise & trains kept us awake most of the night. - User1684

Can't wait to come back this summer. The owners are the most helpful people I have ever met at a campground. The bathrooms are immaculate, and sites are beautiful. Can't beat waking up every morning to the sound of the river. One thing all of us will mention is we missed the Ol' girl in the office (easy on the eyes) and very friendly. - Ronnied55

A bit far off I-64 for an overnight, 14 miles of back roads. Our site was dirt, thankfully it did not rain. Water quality was fair, pressure was fine. Restrooms were outdated and very dirty. Road noise moderate, train noise loud all night. At least there was no crossing nearby so you are spared the horn. Fees are collected in cash only. Can't see any reason to return to this place again. - axtoncampers

We selected this park because it is a state park and we have a certain expectation regarding them. What a wonderful find! There are only 16 sites and all of them are wooded. We stayed in #15 which is a pull through. It is pretty level which is not the case for some of them but most look good. I was concerned since the newest review I saw was several years old but every thing I read in the previous reviews holds true. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The location is a few miles off of I-64. The roads are a little curvy and narrow and there is a tunnel you have to go through. I don't think many motor homes could make it. If you have questions, call them. - JBE2016

Not far from the famous resort of Greenbriar and nestled in verdant forest is this gem of a park. Quiet and peaceful are but a few of the qualities. We were able to travel to other nearby destinations as 64 is just a few miles away. Convenient to White Sulphur Springs, the New River Gorge and Beckley, this a great place to hunker down for a few days or longer. - Beulah

To be honest, we were forewarned that this was not a destination campground. It is just a parking spot for people visiting the area. So in that respect it fit the bill, we were there for a Med. School graduation in Lewisburg. We were literally 15-20' from the road, so we felt every vehicle go by, luckily it was not a real busy road. A office was being installed by the friendly working manager & I think he stated it will include restrooms, had none when we were there. Wi-Fi did work & I think there was cable. There are two entrances, but our 32' travel trailer partially blocked one & had to park our long bed CC pick-up next to the fence between the entrances. Had room to load & unload motorcycle & park it next to our camper, not sure if awning could have been fully extended, next trailer was fairly close. Basically gravel RV spots are level, short & narrow, slide was a few feet from stockade fence next to road. It is stated that private land is nearby to ATV. No gate or security, probably not required in this area. - foor

Convenient to interstate but very quiet. Grounds are very well maintained - campsites are level - management is extremely nice. When I called, the manager said he would be looking for us and greeted us at the gate. This is a great place to stop for the night and we would stay again if we are every passing thru. My husband and I agree, the bathrooms could use a little more cleaning. - PhenT

This little gem, which we found a few years ago using AllStays Camp and RV app, is the perfect distance from "home" if we've made a long pull and just want to rest before the last 3 hours Eastbound. OR if we get a late start headed Westbound and want to get some miles before we push for the Far West.
Lots are very close with a sunny/open exposure. Site surface is gravel. Sewer connection is clean and well maintained.
This is Exit 150 on I-64. Don't miss Tamarack at Exit 45 in WV, just a short way to the West.
Other reviews aptly describe what a NICE option this is for a quick overnight with FHU. We've come back over and over, and will stay again. The mist over the mountains is sublime. - SilverOtter

The Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève and Kylian Productions will perform on stage at the Grimaldi Forum from 15 to 18 April 2014
In April 2014, Monaco Dance Forum is inviting the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève to perform on stage at the Grimaldi Forum.
Music and dance are intermingled in this powerful show, which consists of work by two choreographers.
In "Lux" by Ken Ossola, sculpted shadow play highlights the delicacy of the dancer's bodies, suffused with Fauré's music. In "Glory" by Andonis Foniadakis, the dancers are intertwined in a fluid, tense symbiosis, which gives the movement its quality and mastery.
Monaco Dance Forum's next guest will be Jirí Kyliánm, who is offering the European première of "East Shadow."
This work was commissioned as part of the 2013 Aichi triennial in Japan (on the theme of the 2011 Fukushima disaster) and transports the audience to the rather disconcerting world of Samuel Beckett.
When the master of the absurd is revisited by one of the greatest choreographers, it produces a work that will leave no-one unmoved.
15 to 18 April 2014 at the Grimaldi Forum, Monaco:
15 and 16 April: Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève

"Glory" by Andonis Foniadakis

Sesna's Volcano holds one such gate.
A demon that feeds on good feelings, causing those around to feel upset or angry all the time.

Sportscaster Champ Kind from "Anchorman," Michael Scott's best friend Todd Packer from "The Office": Comedian David Koechner is best-known for playing a certain kind of deranged, wanna-be macho weirdo on screen, but in real life, he's your everyday family man. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, five kids, and at least one dog we could hear barking in the background as we talked by phone about his stand-up tour, which stops at the Black Cat in D.C. on Saturday night. Koechner, 51, got his start with famed improv group Second City and went on to star in many cult favorite movies, along with parts in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Talladega Nights" "Get Smart" and many more. He's had several TV appearances, including a memorable episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Koechner discussed going back to his live comedy roots doing stand-up; his excitement about a song-and-dance number in the new, R-rated version of "Anchorman 2″ released this week, and what it was like playing an actual villain in his new indie film, "Cheap Thrills," out March 21.
Have you performed in DC before?
Not stand-up, but years ago, I went with the Second City and we did a show at the Kennedy Center, a three-week run there.
Does performing live on stage bring you back to your Second City days?
Yeah, there's nothing like live – it's the best, it really is. I love it. It's communal engagement: We're all making an agreement that I'm funny. (Cracks himself up.) Well, the truer thing is, we're in agreement this particular set of circumstances is funny. It's just like going to a movie, we're all agreeing we're enjoying this thing together…that's why it's important. Everyone says movies are over, blah blah blah, then boom we have the biggest year on record for movies. I think it's an important part of humanity is that we go and share stories together.
"Anchorman 2" is re-releasing an R-rated version of the movie this week with lots of new jokes – when you saw that, did you think, "Oh God, they're putting all that in the movie?"
Oh no, we were hoping for it earlier. We had been lobbying the director to "Kill Bill" the first movie, you know, cut it in two. Because we knew we had so much material that couldn't possibly make the movie, that we were like, "Please put it out somehow!" So now they're doing it. And I know it's just for a week, but at least that stuff is going to get released. There's a great song and dance number in the movie which was one of my favorite scenes that had to go. Now there's a chance to see that on the big screen.
It was a long road for the "Anchorman" sequel. Was it like you all [Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, etc.] had just seen each other yesterday?
It really was, it didn't feel like it had been nine years. I see these guys at least once or twice a year anyway, but yeah, it felt just like riding a bike, just back at it.
What's your most popular quote that people yell at you if they see you on the street?
(laughs) That would have to be "Whammy!"
Which character do people recognize you as most often?
I get mostly "Anchorman" and "The Office." Occasionally "Out Cold," "Waiting…" and "Run, Ronnie, Run." Those other ones are more cult favorites.
Are you looking to do more TV in the future?
Definitely, I would rather stay home in L.A. Films tend to be shot everywhere else now. And so I'm developing a variety show for NBC, we're going to shoot it in April, and then I'm hoping that we get picked up and have a long run.
With all your characters, there's sort of a line between bad behavior and being actually evil. In "Cheap Thrills," that guy you play looks like a total sociopath.
He really is! One could argue every character I have ever played is a sociopath, but this is a different breed of sociopath, he's more sinister. It was fantastic to play, something completely different. I have rarely gotten the opportunity to dig deeper and play something like this, and I welcomed it.
Were you looking to do something different?
I'm always looking for work. (laughs) But that one found me and I was very happy to say yes.
Koechner will perform stand-up at the Black Cat on Saturday, March 1 at 9 p.m.

Arizona Hunting News
Public Meetings Set on Proposed Rule Changes
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is conducting a series of public meetings on proposed Game and Fish Commission rule changes relating to miscellaneous licenses and permits, and on a new proposed rule for the taking and handling of wildlife. The new rule would place additional regulations on the use of spotlights when taking wildlife.
Optics and Patience are the Keys to Locating Javelina
"Expect javelina to be more dispersed due to the green-up and water availability this year," says Big Game Supervisor Brian Wakeling. "In the long term, the green-up is good for javelina. In the short term, it makes finding them more difficult. Plan to wear out your eyeballs, not your shoe leather. Optics will be the key."
A Holiday Season Pronghorn Gift
Arizona received an early holiday season gift this year: 39 pronghorn antelope were brought to Arizona from Utah in early December.
Wolf Pack Slated for Relocation
To provide a more viable, long-term potential of survival and reproduction capability for the Aspen Pack of Mexican gray wolves, the Blue Range Mexican Wolf Reintroduction Project's Adaptive Management Oversight Committee has decided to remove the pack from the wild for translocation to a more suitable site.
Commission Considering Draft Hunt Guidelines for 2005
The Arizona Game and Fish Commission is considering the draft guidelines and recommendations for the 2005-2006 hunting and trapping seasons during the Saturday, Dec. 11 segment of its two-day meeting at the Peoria City Council Chambers, 8401 W. Monroe Street, Peoria.
Information Needed on Bighorn Sheep Poaching
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is asking for the public's help in finding a poacher that killed a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in the Blue River corridor of eastern Arizona during the week of Nov. 15.
New Brochure Explains OHV Laws
The Arizona Game and Fish Department has just released "A Guide to Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Laws, Rules and Regulations," a new brochure designed to explain the state's complicated off-highway vehicle laws.
Online Hunt Application Process will be Suspended Next Year
In response to a July court ruling that declared Arizona's 10-percent cap on nonresident hunt permits for certain big game animals unconstitutional, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission last month directed the department to suspend the online application process for one year, effective with the fall 2005 big game draw.
Spring Hunt Application Deadline
The deadline to apply for the spring 2005 hunts is Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. MST in Arizona Game and Fish Department offices. Postmarks don't count: applications must be received in Game and Fish offices by then. Avoid using your 2004 hunting license number when applying for 2005 hunts.
Help Protect Deer and Elk
The department needs 1,800 heads to be tested for the possible presence of chronic wasting disease (CWD), which is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer and elk. CWD has not made its way into Arizona, but it is found in three neighboring states: Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.

Stress & Anxiety
Piper Walsh, Ph.D
Clinical Psychologist
Within Driving Distance of Ladera Ranch, CA
Is worry or panic disrupting your life? While anxiety is a normal reaction to stress, high levels of sustained stress can be disturbing and can cause distress that interferes with a person's ability to lead a normal life. Many people who suffer from anxiety feel alone and different from others. They may be isolating, socially, experiencing panic, struggling with constant worries, or obsessing over concerns they have little control over. I assist people with anxiety to overcome fears, identify the sources of anxiety, and learn strategies to reduce and manage stress. But most of all, I help them reclaim their peace of mind. Please reach me at 949.370.4726 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bird Tweet of the Week: Evening Grosbeak
This species is known in French Gros-bec Errant, it is best described as erratic in its presence and seasonal movements. Some winters the species fans out across the southeast US in a migratory wave while other years they are seldom seen. The Evening Grosbeak is considered quite silent and lacks a definitive song. Instead, it utters a rich, husky chirp similar to a sparrow.
Each week we introduce a new bird from the Ottawa-Gatineau area through our segment on CBC Radio's In Town and Out. Alex MacDonald, Nature Canada's Manager of Protected Areas, shares interesting facts about the birds that live in our communities. Be sure to tune-in to "Bird Tweet of the Week" on CBC Radio One 91.5 FM on Saturday mornings from 6am to 9am and listen to past episodes on our website
This episode aired on Saturday January 11, 2014.

text: Did some digging and this is my understanding. Please correct me if I'm grossly mistaken. -F dir=foo is a tree rule, not a watch rule. At syscall exit time, audit_filter_syscall is called which checks the parameters of the syscall against each of the installed rules. When it gets to the dir rule, it checks to see if the 'tree' associated with the given task matches the 'associated' with the rule, basically walking up the path from '/' to the end to see if it matches the given rule tree. There should be no extra nfs traffic, and there should be no blowing up of inotify/fsnotify watch lists for something like this. kernel callpath: call __audit_syscall_exit arch/x86/kernel/entry_32|64.S __audit_free kernel/auditsc.c:1752 audit_get_context kernel/auditsc.c:957 audit_filter_syscall kernel/auditsc.c:877 audit_filter_rules kernel/auditsc.c:603 match_tree_refs kernel/auditsc.c:444 audit_tree_match kernel/audit_tree.c:198 Does that sound right?

We have a great library of paperbacks and DVDs. The ground floor separates the two sleeping areas, making the house perfect for hen parties, re-unions and family gatherings. The upper floor is flooded with light from a large lantern window and attractively decorated with funky wallpaper and cushions. This area is partly open plan with two generous single beds that can convert into a luxurious super king. All our beds are handmade by a traditional English company using natural fibres with high quality sprung pocket mattresses. We have ultra soft feather and down duvets and pillows with Egyptian cotton, satin stripe sheets, ensuring comfort and luxury. Folding double doors lead through to the second bedroom overlooking gardens, with two singles or a super king bed. The contemporary drench-style shower room with WC makes the upstairs area perfect for a family, two couples or four friends.
Downstairs from the kitchen dining room is a third large, luxurious bedroom, beautifully decorated in soft colours with vintage furniture and accessories creating a cosy, sumptuous atmosphere. There are twin beds that can be made up as a super king and a pretty day bed with a pocket sprung mattress. If you have an extra person, we can put a fold up bed in this room too without it being too cramped. The contemporary bathroom has a double ended bath with shower. There is oodles of hot water, white fluffy towels and personal toiletries so everyone can shower or bath in comfort before an evening out in the town. If you are planning a longer stay we have a washer drier under the stairs with a warm hanging area for drying off wet coats. Outside is a small vaulted area.
We welcome hen parties and families but regret we do not accept bookings for stag parties.
Location description from owner
The England region
The West Country region is known for its beautiful countryside, traditional villages with thatched cottages and old pubs and a stunning coastline. Near to Bath you can drive to the beautiful villages of the Cotwolds, Tetbury, Stowe-on-the-Wold and many others. Longleat House with its wildlife park is less than an hour away. The exciting city of Bristol offering all types of cultural opportunities in the arts, theatre and excellent shopping is only ten miles drive or a short direct train ride.
Central Bath
Bath is a UNESCO world heritage city, renown for its superb mellow Georgian Stone buildings and historic Roman Baths. The Thermae spa offers rooftop all season outdoor bathing in the natural hot springs which brought the Romans to Bath. Relaxing in the warm water overlooking the rooftops at sunset is a treat never to be forgotten. The Spa can be booked for treatments, swimming in the indoor pool, or complete packages including meals, rooftop bathing and therapies.
River trips up to Bathampton Mill are delightful on summerdays or evenings. Strolling around the town, visiting the famous Royal Crescent, the skyline often filled with hot air balloons, Bath Abbey and the fascinating Roman Bath remains is a delightful way to spend a day or two in the town. There are numerous small fascinating museums all in easy walking distance of the cottage. The town is known for its wide selection of independent shops, particularly for fashion and vintage finds not available in most highstreets. The best of the chains can also be found in Southgate near the stations which is the newly developed area, perfect for shopping trips with friends.
There are bars and restaurants to cater for every taste and occasion, all close to Benson Cottage so you are never more than ten minutes from home. The newly extended Waitrose is a few minutes easy walk away if you are planning meals at the house. Specialist cheese and wine shops are nearby for gourmets and there are several great cafes less than five minutes walk for breakfast.

"I wish i lived here!"
I stumbled across Benson Cottage whilst looking for accommodation for a hen party. We were a party of 10 and really wanted to stay somewhere a little bit special. Benson Cottage certainly exceeded our expectations in this regard. When we arrived on the Friday night, Rachel, the owner, met us and watched the car whilst we unloaded. The cottage is down a side street and the permit parking is a 5 minute walk away so it was lovely to have her on hand to make the unloading process easier. When I stepped through the front door I was taken aback by how beautiful the cottage was. Every attention had been made to the interior design of the property, so much so that it looked like somebody's house rather than an impersonal holiday let. The shelves were stocked with books, there were slippers on the side, umbrellas on pegs and wine, bread and jam on the table. The cottage was also lovely and warm – the secret to making anywhere feel like home! It can be difficult to find a property that offers room for 10 in single beds but Benson Cottage scored highly there too. Upstairs comprised of one long bedroom with 4 single beds; perfectly designed to house a group of girls, with an ensuite bathroom and lots of mirrors and plug sockets. Another bedroom was situated downstairs, with 3 single beds, and in our case, an extra camp bed (which didn't look any different to the other comfy beds). All the beds were comfy with big fluffy duvets and blankets. Towels and toiletries were also provided, which was a nice touch. In the lounge there was plenty of seating and one of the sofas pulled out to create a large double bed. The kitchen was ideal for our party too. A large wooden table took pride of place and sat all of us with ease…perfect for breakfast and afternoon tea! Not only was the cottage a beautiful place to stay (and so much more than just a base), but it was central too! We didn't need to take one taxi the whole weekend. All of Bath's attractions were a short walk away and the club and restaurant we went to were a two minute stumble home. That's not to say that we suffered from noise…the cottage was peaceful and we weren't disturbed by passers-by or traffic due to its side-lane location. All in all I couldn't recommend Benson Cottage more highly. All the hens loved it and many commented that they would like to move in! The booking process was a pleasure and Rachel and Sam, the owners, couldn't have been more helpful. I hope we can go back again soon.
"Lovely quiet cottage, exquisitely decorated, right in the centre of Bath."
Spent one night here with friends on 29th January. Wish it could have been longer! Lovely cottage in a pretty side street full of interesting architecture. It was very quiet yet incredibly close to all the shops, bars, restaurants, cafes and so easy to reach all of the sights. The cottage itself has brilliant fresh and original decor and wonderful finishing touches for the guests. It was much bigger than we expected with plenty of room over three floors and a large cosy sitting room. We especially loved the really well equipped kitchen and the luxuriously comfy beds. A fantastic find, especially as it was a last minute booking. Will definitely be back!
