This is the second article in the SharePoint Online planning guide for Office 365 for professionals and small businesses. This article discusses how you can plan the structure and content for your Team site.
You should read this article if you are a site collection administrator, a site owner, or someone who is otherwise responsible for planning the content on sites for SharePoint Online for Microsoft Office 365 for professionals and small businesses. This article will guide you through some of the key considerations involved in planning the structure and content for your sites.
Depending on the size or your organization and the volume of content that you plan to have on your Team Site, you may want to create sub-sites under your Team Site to organize content. The sites within a site collection are arranged into a hierarchy. When you create sites underneath the Team Site, you build out this hierarchy. You can create additional sub-sites or pages underneath the Team Site, and you can also create additional sub-sites or pages under these sites.
What's the difference between a site and a page? A site is a collection of content that can contains items such as pages, document libraries, or lists. A page is an individual webpage on which you can display content, Web Parts, or links.
There are many possible ways you can choose to organize sub-sites. For example, you could choose to create sub-sites:
Before you get started creating sites, spend some time thinking about how many sites you might want and the logic by which you want to organize them. You might find it helpful to create a diagram of your site hierarchy to help organize your planning. You can quickly sketch a diagram on a piece of paper or a whiteboard, but you might want to create a more formal diagram by using one of the Hierarchy shapes available as SmartArt in Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint. This will give you a diagram you can save and refer to, as well as modify over time.
In addition to thinking about how many sites you want to create, think about the purpose of each site. This will help you determine what site templates you want to use to create new sites. SharePoint Online includes a wide range of site templates from which you can select when you create a new site. By selecting a site template that is designed for a specific purpose, you can give users a powerful head start on their work. For example, if you want to create a site that team members can use to periodically share interesting news or ideas, you might want to start by selecting the Blog site template because this template is designed for this type of communication.
The site templates included in Office 365 for professionals and small businesses include:
For more information about creating sites, see Create Sites and Pages.
Top of Page
After you have given some thought to the number and type of sites that you want, it is a good idea to do some planning about the content that will reside on these sites. The goal for this content planning is to determine:
Your organization may want to conduct this type of planning in a centralized way (especially for content types), but this is also the kind of planning that you should encourage individual site owners to perform as they customize sites for which they are responsible.
Content types enable site users to quickly create specialized kinds of content by using the New Item or New Document command in a list or library. Content types are useful because they provide site owners a way to ensure that content is consistent across sites. Content types also make it possible for a single list or library to contain multiple item types or document types. Site owners can pre-configure specific details about the content when they set up content types for a site, list, or library.
Site owners can define content types for list items, documents, or folders. In SharePoint Online for Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, site owners can specify the following settings for a content type:
You may find it useful to define content types for some of your content if your content meets any of the following criteria:
After you identify content for which you might want to define content types, you should think about where you want to define content types. If you define site content types at the Team site level, they will be broadly available for reuse in the lists and libraries within all of the subsites of your Team site. Individual site owners can also define site content types for their sites, although these content types will be available for use in lists and libraries only on that site and any sites under it.
When planning content types, you might find it helpful to create a spreadsheet or table that captures the information you want to include when you define your content types. For example, you could start by creating something basic like the table below, and then adapting it to include whatever additional information you might find useful to track, such as the sites or teams who will be using the content types:
For more information about working with content types, see the Content types topics in SharePoint Online Help.
In addition to thinking about content types, you may want to think about the other kinds of information that will be stored on sites, or the kinds of tasks that people in your organization would like to use sites to manage. This will help you plan the different kinds of lists or libraries that you might want to add to sites to get started.
You do not need to build out all of the lists or libraries that you might eventually need right away. Site owners will add and delete new lists and libraries over time, as business needs change. But conducting some early planning about how you want to customize the content on your sites can help ensure that sites are immediately useful to users.
SharePoint Online includes lists and libraries that are useful for a range of business purposes, from document storage and management, to project management and tracking, to communication. You can use any or all of these elements on a single site, or you can cluster specific kinds of lists and libraries on different sites to sites that are dedicated to specialized purposes, such as document management or project management.
It is also important to devote some time to planning how site users will find and use the content on your SharePoint Online sites. This kind of planning will help you make decisions about how to configure both navigation and search for the Team Site and its subsites.
To plan your navigation, you might find it helpful to create a diagram of the sites in your site hierarchy. If you already created a diagram while planning sites, then you can start with that diagram and modify it. Include all of the subsites of your Team Site. You might also want to include any important lists or libraries that exist on the Team Site and its subsites. This will help you identify at a glance the important destinations that site users might want to find if they are starting from the home page of your Team site.
On SharePoint sites, the top link bar provides what is known as global navigation. This top link bar appears at the top of all pages in the site, below the site title.
By default, each site uses its own unique top link bar, but you can decide to allow sites to inherit the top link bar from the parent site so that the navigation experience is consistent across all sites. You can configure what sites appear on the top link bar. You can also customize the top link bar to include links to any other URL that you want, in case you want to integrate links to external resources into the navigation of your site. If you want to add, remove, or rearrange the links in a top link bar, use the Top Link Bar page in Site Settings for the site.
Think about how a user will find content from the home page of your Team Site. If you have many subsites for your team site, you may not want to expose all of them on the top link bar because this could be overwhelming for site users. But you also don't want to make important sites or content undiscoverable. Use your site hierarchy diagram to identify the key sites you want to expose in your global navigation.
In addition to the top link bar, sites also display navigation elements on the left side of the page. These navigation elements include the Quick Launch and the tree view.
Typically, the Quick Launch displays links that are specific to the current site, and it can be used to highlight the content that is most important.
As with the top link bar, you can customize the Quick Launch to add or remove links to the lists and libraries on the site. You can also group links under custom headings. If you choose to have all subsites inherit the global navigation, then it will be important for Site Owners to customize the navigation on the Quick Launch because it will be the primary way users will find content within a site when they visit it. If you decide not to have subsites inherit global navigation from the Team Site, then users will be able to use both the top link bar and the Quick Launch on a subsite to find the content within it.
Tree view navigation displays site content such as lists, libraries, and sites below the current site in a hierarchical manner. It is common for tree view navigation to appear on the left of each page in a site. By default, tree view navigation is turned off.
If you want to display your site content in a hierarchical way, you can display the tree view for users of your site. To enable the tree view for a site, use the Tree view page in Site Settings for the site.
For more information about configuring navigation, see the Navigation topics in SharePoint Online Help.
Your users are more likely to want to use SharePoint Online when they can easily find the information they need.
The search service is scheduled to crawl SharePoint Online content every five minutes. After an item is added to a SharePoint Online site, there will be a period of time before it is indexed and returned in search results. This amount of time varies based on current user activities. Tasks like site migration, upgrade, and maintenance increase the load on the indexing pipeline. New content items should typically display in search results within an hour
There are a variety of things you can do as a site owner to improve the user search experience. Some of the content management features discussed in this article, such as content types and managed metadata, can help make content more discoverable to search. You can also perform specific search-related configurations to improve search, such as setting up search scopes, and configuring keywords, and Best Bets. You can also choose to remove specific sites or lists and libraries from search results so that content in these locations does not display in search results. This can be helpful if you want to remove sensitive content or obsolete content from search results.
Search scopes A search scope defines a subset of information in the search index. For example, if you have a site collection with many sites, you could set up a search scope for the Search box on sites that allows users to focus a search on a particular location or set of content.
Typically, search scopes encompass specific topics and content sources that are important and common to users in the organization. For example, you could create a search scope for all items related to a specific project or for all items related to a specific group in the organization such as Finance or Marketing. You can also create a search scope that includes several other scopes.
Keywords and Best Bets Another way you can help users find content is by using keywords and Best Bets. You can highlight important information in search results for site users by using keywords and Best Bets. When a user enters a pre-configured keyword term into the search box, Best Bets are marked by a yellow star and are displayed prominently at the top of the core search results page. Keywords can be used in queries from the Search box.
Keywords and Best Bets are stored in their own database tables, so they become effective immediately. By defining commonly-used search terms as keywords you can provide a standard glossary of names, processes, and concepts that are part of the "common knowledge" shared by members of an organization.
For example, you want to point newly hired employees to a site containing information about how to obtain training on tools and processes. You could define the keyword "training" or the names of your internal tools with the URL of the site that contains the information. Each time new employees search for the name of the tool or for "training" the correct Web site would appear as a Best Bet at the top of search results.
If there are specific sites, lists, or libraries that contain content you want to exclude from search results you can do this by removing these locations from search. For more information about controlling what content is searchable, see the article Enable content to be searchable.
For more information about using and configuring Search, see the Search articles in SharePoint Online Help.
It is a good idea to incorporate specific questions about content use scenarios into the content planning process because these questions will help you determine how you might need to configure specific sites, lists, or libraries, and what specific features site users may need to use in conjunction with content.
It is also a good idea to review the Software requirements for Office 365 for professionals and small businesses so that you can anticipate whether specific individuals in your organization will encounter issues when working with SharePoint Online content based on the configuration of their local computers. For example, users must have Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Microsoft Office 2010 installed on their computers to open or create documents on a SharePoint Online site.
After you build out the structure for your Team site, you may have legacy content you want to move to the site. While Microsoft does not provide tools to migrate content at this time, there are ways you can move documents and files from your local computer or file share to your Team Site.
For information, see the article Move documents and files to your SharePoint Online site.

Transportation and utilities infrastructure are two of the most dangerous and arduous areas of development work for government organizations and private contractors in Iraq.
Throughout the country, distribution of electricity and potable water has failed to meet the projected post-invasion levels, and transportation systems are subject to constant disruption. In some major municipalities, such as Baghdad and Basra, basic utility availability is still below pre-war levels. Insurgent violence and lack of security has hit the electricity sector especially hard because power supplies are a constant target, especially in densely populated areas. Electricity Efforts to provide Baghdad, once replete with electricity, with enough energy for even basic services face continuous setbacks.
"All the transfer lines are in hot spots and are targeted by terrorist attacks," Saadi Mehdi Ali, the Electricity Ministry's inspector general, told the New York Times in December.
As of December 2006, seven out of the nine transfer lines serving Baghdad were down, largely due to coordinated insurgent attacks. The city was running on at least 1,000 megawatts of privately generated power, and electricity was available for only part of the day.
"It was better in Baghdad [before the war], because Saddam's government made a conscious decision to provide more power to Baghdad then to any other part of Iraq," said Rajiv Chandrasekaran, assistant managing editor of the Washington Post and the paper's former bureau chief in Baghdad. "The post-war change was felt most acutely in Baghdad, because it went from getting 22 hours a day to getting, at times, 4 to 6 hours a day."
But Baghdad is not the only region in the dark. Throughout Iraq, electricity output is well below the goals released by the Coalition Provisional Authority after its arrival in March 2003.
The initial estimates called for the country to be provided with 6,000 megawatts of power, roughly 10-12 hours a day, by July 1, 2004, according to the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Office.
But while most regions have seen an increase in available electricity, from between 4 to 8 hours a day in the prewar period to just over 9 hours a day as of December 2006, the original goal has not been realized.
The irony, Chandrasekaran said, is that providing and maintaining secure power sources in highly volatile regions would help mitigate violence, but the power plants are being disrupted before their value can be realized.
"Even in more violence-wracked areas, if you can get more power to places like Ramadi, Bakuba, and others, that is one step in trying to promote more stability," he said.
Transportation Stability in many regions can also be helped with a secure transportation infrastructure.
Much of the $464 million appropriated for transportation by the Iraq Reconstruction and Relief Fund has been directed toward a large-scale rehabilitation of airports, the rail system and bridges, reported the U.S. Agency for International Development.
For those who can afford it, airplane travel has become more readily available since commercial flights resumed in 2005, following three major regional airport renovations in Basra, Baghdad and Erbil. But service is inconsistent and the threat of violence is still very high, especially in Baghdad.
"The big problem with [the Baghdad airport] still is the security threat from shoulder-fired missiles, which restricts the flow of commercial traffic and requires planes to do this sort of corkscrew landing and takeoff," said Chandrasekaran.
The rail system, which underwent a $230 million overhaul, is also a major target for insurgents who are lured by the trains' static routes.
Lack of ridership further hampered the success of the railroads and caused the Baghdad-Basra line, one of three major travel corridors, to be discontinued in early 2006. Now just the Baghdad-Mosul passenger line remains.
"Most Iraqis never used the trains [during Saddam' reign]," said Chandrasekaran. "Many of them had cars or took buses. Fuel was cheap."
Car travel is still the preferred mode of transportation for most Iraqis, although the increase in number of cars, long lines at fuel pumps, and constant threat of road violence have made driving more difficult.
Consequently, mending the highway system has been a high priority for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has completed 370 miles of road construction and hopes to complete the last roadway project, the Baghdad-Kirkuk Carriageway, by December 2008.
Communication Systems One of the success stories in infrastructure is the communications sector, with Iraqis accessing domestic mobile phone service for the first time in the country's history.
Under Saddam there were no mobile phone providers in Iraq and, according to the State Department, just 1.2 million people out of the total population of 26 million subscribed to landline phone service.
But during the looting and violence after U.S. entry into Iraq in 2003, an estimated half of the landline infrastructure was damaged, so the need for mobile technology was immediate.
Unlike the electricity and transportation sectors, the cellular tower infrastructure has been largely safe from violence, in part because the insurgents rely on mobile phones to coordinate attacks.
"Everybody needs a mobile phone, whether you are a terrorist, whether you are a government official, or whether you are a member of the public," Dr. Siyamend Othman, CEO of Iraq's National Communications and Media Commission, told the Washington Post in January 2006.
As of August 2006, there were over 8 million subscribers to telephone service, an estimated half of which are mobile users, and multiple service providers have emerged.
Internet accessibility has not fared as well, with the number of registered users falling from 207,000 in April 2006 to 198,000 in August, according to the Brookings Institute's Iraq Index.
Water Water infrastructure development has achieved mixed results. Although some successful potable water and sanitation projects have been completed, just 4.6 million Iraqis have improved access to fresh water, and less than 10 percent of Iraqi homes are serviced by sewage systems, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"The U.S. effort has focused initially on building potable water capacity, since clean drinking water is the primary factor in reducing primary waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid," said Lt. Col. Joseph Fraundorfer, deputy chief of water for the Corps.
Much like the other sectors, the state of water resources is much worse in the south than in the north, where autonomous governing bodies have overseen infrastructure since 2003.
Years of improper environmental management, including a massive draining of marshlands in southern Iraq by Saddam's government and the construction of dams in southern Turkey, which cut the Euphrates River water supply almost in half, have rendered water undrinkable without treatment in many parts of the south.
"The water is so dirty when it gets down to Basra [from the north] that they didn't even drink the municipally supplied water," said Jane Gleason, a development specialist with the contracting company DAI and chief of party for USAID's Agriculture Reconstruction and Development Program for Iraq.
That was the case until late 2004, when USAID and Bechtel Corp. finished rehabilitating Basra's 14 water treatment plants, the canal system, and the main water reservoir, providing fresh water to a city accustomed to water with high salinity.
Irrigation throughout the country also was affected by poor management, but Gleason's ARDI project was able to fix irrigation systems and provide fresh water to agricultural zones throughout the country by September 2006.
"We reckon [our project] affected about half a million people," she said. "Our focus was in south and south central Iraq. They needed the most help."
Small-scale projects like DAI's agricultural and irrigation systems are likely the model for future water, transportation and electricity infrastructure development in Iraq.
"Small and medium-sized potable water rehabilitation projects executed by direct contracting to repair and rehabilitate neglected facilities using Iraqi labor have been the most successful," said the Army Corps of Engineers' Fraundorfer.

Equivocationby Bill Cain "Enormously smart...a snap, crackle, pop production!" "[An] immensely entertaining ode to art, politics and the perils of negotiating both." "Brilliant! Outstanding!" In London in the year 1605, a down-and-out playwright called Shagspeare (yes, its him) receives a royal commission to write a play promoting the governments version of Guy Fawkes treasonous Gunpowder Plot. As Shag navigates the dangerous course between writing a lie and losing his soul, or writing the truth and losing his head, his devoted theatre troupe helps him negotiate each step along the way. At once an explosive comedy of ideas and a high-stakes political thriller, Bill Cains award-winning EQUIVOCATION deftly reveals the cat-and-mouse games in politics and art, and the craft of learning how to speak the truth in difficult times. |

Does anyone have any ideas for a small group (4-6) senior men to enjoy? I don't know anything about men, so can't think of any activities.
A TV sports evening? Poker night? I think I saw a shuffle board court nearby. Not sure what that is about, but will check it out, altho with winter approaching that's not the best idea. I'd say darts, but would be afraid with bad vision and hearing that a person would get nailed with a dart.
cards ?
my dad is 71. he has regular poker nights (yes, for real $$) and goes to bridge at the local seniors' center. he also golfs in summer and curls in winter. he's a good pool player, kicks ass at trivial pursuit (provided that it's the 1980 version - hee!), and skis better than most people half his age. the last thing he'd be interested in is an evening out to watch TV (he does that all the time at home).
what is your old guy capable of?
you know, darts might not be such a bad idea. unless he's senile, i'm sure he knows better than to throw when someone's in front of him, and it requires standing up. shuffle board, too.
It appears to me that the women do fine on finding activities for themselves. It's just the men who don't seem to do much.
That's what I'm going to want, if I make it to senior status.
Checkers and backgammon may be popular.
On the darts, they don't have to be the needle point type. They make them now with a little bit softer plastic tip, they stick by going into holes on the dart board. That's the kind we have, and even my daughter when she was four could get them to stick.
poker nights are really popular, texas hold-em, golf in nice weather. Board games are always fun, like trivial pursuit. Black Jack, checkers and backgammon, mahjong and bocce ball. Maybe the men can hook up with the women and do some square dancing or line dancing. My mom and dad are into that.
When my senior dad gets together with other men, he likes to eat sweets, drink coffee/tea and gossip. lol You know the usual;
"Supposed to rain all this week, not good haying weather"
and the ever popular
"You know Charlie? He was married to Martha's sister in law, lived up the road in the old Wilson place 30 years ago, yes, beside Ronnies. He died, saw it yesterday in the paper"
Anyways, when he's not talking about who's getting married, divorced, dying, or dead, he likes to play dominoes. And do puzzles. And do his taxes. Yes, year round he seems to work on his taxes!
Ooh, I can't wait to get old!! haha :D
Since most men seem to have only one topic to discuss, why not a weekly football or basketball party? Right now football dominates the networks every weekend. The only thing you'd have to do is make sure there's a large screen tv and some food and drink. It will be difficult to get them to eat anything but stuff they shouldn't have though.
Is there room for crafts that involve hammering? My dad used to build bluebird houses according to Audubon Society specs. The patterns are easy to find. He also built duck and owl houses sometimes.
He went to the trout hatchery every week and volunteered to feed the little fish that would grow up and be released in streams. He really enjoyed that.
If you can find a teacher, a fly fishing class might be fun and would encourage some exercise. The ladies could join in this one too, and encourage some socialization.

My grandmother called news about who had a baby, who got married or divorced, and who died "hatched, matched and dispatched" She was sharp at age 90 and never boring. She could hold her own in any conversation and we loved having her around.
I'm already old, and I can tell you that if you keep your mind sharp, it's great! I don't have to go to work or pick up after anyone and I do exactly as I please all the time. So use your mind or you will lose it before it's time to enjoy life. And if you have qualms about getting old, consider the alternative.
I was just thinking I'd like a bird feeder outside my office window. So I love the idea of making birdhouses and will ahve to check into the cost and materials. There aren't power tools or much budget. I would have to hunt down some hand saws. Great idea.
I just now recalled how a neighbor man my dads age, would come to sit in the yard with my dad and he would bring 'gourds' that he made into bird houses. Yeah, they'd sit and talk about taxes, how the road in front was just fine back when it was a cinder road and what did they need pavement and sidewalks for.
alibsam: I'll definately check out small woodworking ideas.
gypsierose: I'll check out transportation to senior centers. I know I have one near where I live and the walking inside has a rubber floor, so its easier on knees and I love that idea. I'm saving some of these ideas so I don't use them all up at once then having nothing to talk about later :)
A speaker on 'fly fishing' sounds good. and it doens't mean that they need to fish or have the fishing equipment. Where do I start, to find a fly fishing speaker? Sporting Store or community college?
The activites I'm looking for are the non physical kind more to keep the mind active.
queenmedia: My dad loved the weatherman and was always quoating him, "well, Dick G. said..........." Now, this particular weatherman is getting old and not on much, but when I see him I have a special fondness for him.
clairlaine: ha. My MIL would start talking and go on and on about someone in town, going back to old history and she's be knitting as she talked. You could get up, leave the living room, go get a glass of tea, and she never paused or acted like you left the room.
Talking and conversing are two different things, aren't they. That's what I mean by keeping your own mind smart. Wouldn't you hate to end up with not a new thought in your head? It comes of too many years of repetitive living - same ol' same 'ol every day. They've let life grind them down. I live in a 62+ building, and meet so many people who are stuck in their pasts and have no understanding of the now. I'm sure some of them think I'm nuts because I can't stand Bingo and sewing ciicles and gossip sessions. I'd rather take my sketch book outside, or go to the library or an art gallery. Because my health is so poor, I have to spend a lot of time at home but I'm never bored.
Birdhouses - I think you can get precut parts. Call your local Audubon chapter and see if you can enlist a volunteer to cut the pieces and show how they are assembled. I was thinking that if hammering nails is a problem, somebody could come up with a system using screws. I do know the lid or the bottom has to be hinged to enable cleaning the box.
Fly fishing - I think a sporting goods store would be a good place to start asking about someone to talk about fly fishing. It could lead to other speakers on other sporting subjects.
My feeling is, avoid those stupid talks about "the good old days" and musical programs of old music. First of all, the good old days didn't exist, and second of all, it encourages people to be boring, further isolating them.
The dominoes idea is interesting. My kid says that's what the guys play in prison/jail. And then there's cribbage. If only one of them knows how to play either chess, dominoes, or cribbage, perhaps he could teach the others.

OK....the spider goat thing is creeping me out. I can picture myself going out to the barn to collect the eggs from the chickens, then suddenly I look up, bessy the goat is swinging from the rafters, she nails me with a web shot from her udder and BAMMO, she starts chewing on my shirt......:o)
Animals that dont feel pain also dont feel pleasure. They were created to feel, and enjoy eating grass and breathing, and mating etc, I sometimes shudder at the cold, sterile, reptillian efficency that permeates the modern "scientific" mind. How about we just pay a $1 more per gallon and treat the animals right? geeze.
Think about it, if the salmon have been implanted with a dominant gene of different species, in a later generation, they keep passing the traits to the young and the salmon as we know them will have been altered to the point where when they breed together with others...NO MORE SALMON! This changes the taste and other traits of the fish, yet being a mutant, it isn't really salmon!

Gear Review
Ok, but I cannot get them on my dog! :)
By gdlind October 25, 2011
well, the price is right, 20$, but my dog is not easy to get booties on, and I did not notice that these booties have a tight "cuff", that unless your dog is ok with jamming these on, you will have a hard time getting them on with one person. You have to sort of stretch out the cuff, to slide on the dogs foot, and get these on over their claws.......that that takes a third hand! so, I will likely sell these local on craigslist.....too bad. Igave 3 stars cause they seem ok, for the right dog, but not for mine! g

Finally...something That Really Works! - San Diego, CA
on 22 Mar 2012
I completed an Ulthera brow lift three weeks ago. I almost cancelled the appt based on some of the comments made about pain. I didn't want to be numbed and don't like pain medications, so I took two Tylenol. The pain was not bad at all and the procedure lasted fifteen minutes or less. The only time you feel anything is when the ultrasound is targeting the skin. It lasts a few seconds at a time and is gone. I go back for cheeks next week. I am starting to see the results which is exciting. Maybe the trick is to complete the procedure in three appts - upper face/brow, cheeks and neck/lower jaw.

These tablets do not cure the disease which is just part of the ageing process, but they certainly relieve the pain and ease the stiffness. The two main symptoms of this condition are bunny hopping and the guinea pig lying on it's side with it's body arched more than usual and slightly twisted so that the feet are off the ground. After a week or so on Tabritis, the bunny hopping is less pronounced and the guinea pig is more relaxed when lying down in the majority of cases.
As already stated, Bumblefoot is more common in elderly guinea pigs but this I never treat. A, because the less the elderly digestive system has to cope with, in the shape of drugs, the better, and B, I have yet to see a case which causes much distress. It is just a case of monitoring these animals to watch that the scabbing on the foot stays firm and not open to other infections if the skin gets broken.
As far as the loss of sight in old age is concerned there is nothing that can be done. In cases where the eyelids become covered with gritty debris, flush out regularly with optrex eye wash.
I get very fond of my oldies and they get more of their fair share of lap time and cuddles. Even the most 'untouchable' piggies in their youth can mellow with age and I'm sure they appreciate this human contact. It certainly works wonders the other way around for as I am beginning to creak myself I think I can empathise more with them now!.

Room for Improvement: Girls Bedroom
Want to give your daughters' room a new look but don't know where to begin? The answer is simple, call the master of makeovers Martin Amado. In tonight's Room for Improvement, Martin shows us how to transform a dull space into a functional fun filled bedroom.
WSVN -- Martin Amado: "On today's Room for Improvement we're transforming a girls' bedroom into the space she always wanted. Right now it's a blank canvas for a fun and modern design so let's go meet the mom."
Martin Amado: "Room for Improvement?"
Jayme: "Hi, how are you? Come on in let me show you Erin's room."
Martin Amado: "OK, awesome."
Martin Amado: "So this is Erin's space?"
Jayme: "This is Erin's space and it's a little unique because it has that little extra portion over there that I was never quite sure what to do with."
Martin Amado: "So pretty much what is missing is the final design to bring it all together for Erin."
Jayme: "Absolutely."
Martin Amado: "OK. I think I know exactly what I'm going to do. Jayme thank you so much. I'm going to surprise you and obviously Erin at the end of the day."
Jayme: Great."
Martin Amado: "We're keeping Erin's old furniture in the bedroom, but we're adding new pieces to give it a brand new look. We're also changing the room's layout, dividing it into three functional areas, so let's get to work."
Martin Amado: "These white sheers against a sold wall color just does nothing for me, so the first thing we're going to do is swap them out."
Martin Amado: "Perfect, now the windows have personality."
Martin Amado: "Now with the window treatments up we can start rearranging the furniture. As you can tell most of it is on this side of the bedroom, yet this area back here is not being used to its full potential, but that's about to change."
Martin Amado: "There we go. So now this alcove has a better purpose, becoming a mini dressing room for Erin."
Martin Amado: "And now we're turning this empty corner into the perfect study area, by placing the new desk that I got for Erin."
Martin Amado: "Parents often complain there's not enough storage in their kids rooms. My suggestion is to use vertical space as much as possible along the walls, and that's why this ledge is the perfect solution."
Martin Amado: "Let's make the bed my favorite part."
Martin Amado: "Now with all the toss pillows in different sizes, we have a mini-sofa that Erin can use during the day."
Martin Amado: "And the final touch is to use this bookcase as a room divider separating our new dressing area over here from the bedroom on this side."
Martin Amado: "This morning Erin's bedroom lacked sparkle, it was functional but it needed to reflect her true personality. By infusing the room with bright colors, a new layout and some new furniture pieces as well, this room now rocks for under $1,200."
Martin Amado: "At the count of one, two, three."
Erin: "Cool."
Martin Amado: "You like it?"
Jayme: Wow! It's amazing!
Martin Amado: "So you're happy, satisfied, well give a kiss to your mom for doing this for you for calling Room for Improvement and for letting me come into your house and letting me do this for you as well. To all the viewers at home we thank you for watching and we'll see you next time on another Room for Improvement."
