Quadrupeds Go Green with Sustainable Doghouse "Does Your Doghouse Have A Green Roof?" Repost from Dog-milk.com
Brooklyn, January 16, 2011

Super Green for the Quadrupeds! Dog-milk.com has a great post on sustainable living for you & your dogs. Check out–http://dog-milk.com/does-your-dog-house-have-a-green-roof.
Thanks to dog-milk, I was able to link to an article in ReadyMade magazine about architect Stephanie Rubin's sustainable doghouses and birdhouses. The post was written by Sonia Zjawinski for ReadyMade and is re-posted partially below:
"When Los Angeles-based landscape architect Stephanie Rubin decided to
experiment with green roofs, she wanted to start on a small scale. But,
she explains, “It’s really not sustainable to create a display that has
no practical application.” She came up with a model that could serve as
both an example of her work and a resting spot for her pup. That led to
the launch of Sustainable Pet Design,
a collection of bird- and doghouses made with eco-friendly woods and
materials and topped off with lush green roofs. Since it wouldn’t be
sustainable to toss out your old doghouse for one of Rubin’s models,
here’s how to give your pup’s pad a green makeover."

Rare Bird Finds Hanitape Wallet at Brooklyn5and10 Brooklyn, May 15, 2011 submitted by: ad11211
I
read an article recently that said cassette tapes are coming back into
vogue. Apparently, it's very cheap and easy to produce them and some
musicians still prefer the sound quality captured on tape. That's cool. I
always liked tapes, but I like this tape wallet even more. It's not
made of tapes, like some wallets I've seen. It's made of silicone and it
has a magnetic closure. It's cute and flexible, which is really what we
all want in a wallet or a partner, right? $19.95 at Brooklyn 5 and 10.

REPOST FROM HARD FEELINGS BLOG http://www.hardfeelingsblog.com/ "It's giveaway time again y'aaall. This time around I've teamed up with
Crooklyn's finest, Brooklyn 5 + 10 to offer up a Powershovel Golden
Half 35mm camera! I bought one of these little guys from B5+10 last
summer + I've had so much fun shooting with it, so naturally I was
super excited to be able to partner up + bring this giveaway to the HF
readers.
Here's
the skinny on the camera: the Golden Half is a plastic half-format
35mm, which yields 72 photos from a 36 exposure roll. The original
Superheadz design features a plastic body with a fantastic lens, three
apertures and a hot shoe for flash. Seriously guys, this camera is
great. it's small enough to fit in almost any pocket, super easy to
sleuth around with + trying to pair images for each exposure is SO fun.
I've honestly never been disappointed with a roll I've developed.
You get your choice of the 3 different designs + the camera comes w/ a
36 exposure roll of film!" Please visit Hard Feelings to view contest details and full posting. Ends 4/4/10. http://www.brooklyn5and10.com/The-Golden-Half-is-a-plastic-half-size-format-35mm-camera-s/196.htm Powershovel Golden Half Camera Test Drive Hard Feelings Blogger Dylan Haigh puts a Golden Half to Work Brooklyn, March 31, 2010 submitted by: ad11211webmaster
Thanks
to Dylan Haigh! When Dylan Haigh, blogger at Hard Feelings, contacted
Brooklyn5and10 with a giveaway idea, we had no idea how lucky we'd
gotten. He already had a Powershovel Golden Half Camera that he had been
using and agreed to write a little blurb about the camera and to send a
few of his photos for the "News from Brooklyn" B5+10 blog. Below are
Dylan's comments and photos: "Besides
the fact that it takes surprisingly good photos for being a tiny little
toy camera, my favorite thing about shooting with the golden half is
how fun it is to create your own little diptychs with every frame. every
day that i take the camera out, it feels like i'm on a cool
mini-project; it's a lot of fun searching for the right image to couple
with the last photo i shot. it's even more fun seeing what comes out..." -dylan Golden Half Camera photographs by Dylan Haigh, Hard Feelings Blog

eye or why you want it.
Pics of you growing, wearing, building or otherwise engaged
