A Good Dog House:

Is large enough to fit your dog comfortably, they must be able to turn around with enough space
Provides adequate ventilation for either warm or cold seasons
Has good insulation for colder seasons and climates (see below) - no dog or animal should be left outside in cold weather
Has a wind partition for cooler climates
Is easy to clean via a removable or hinged roof
Sets up off the ground
Is built of non-toxic materials in places a dog might be able to chew

Minimum Dog House sizes:

Highest point of roof = top of dogs ears + 5 inches
Lowest point of roof = top of dogs shoulders + 5
Width and length = dog from nose to tail + 14 inches

Your dog must be able to turn around comfortably inside.

Insulation:

Types of insulation could be anything that adds a solid extra layer.
Foam board
Sprayed in foam
Batting
Used carpeting or carpet pad
Old quilts/thick blankets

If your dog spends a lot of time outdoors make sure the house is warm enough in winter. No animal should be left outside in cold temperatures. All animals must have fresh food and water at all times.

Look out Dalston! More demolitions coming with TfLs Crossrail2

Look out Dalston! More demolitions coming with TfLs Crossrail2


TfL has announced plans for public consultation on the development of the Dalston Junction /Dalston Kingsland section of Crossrail2 - a new underground line budgetted at £28Bn. Construction is hoped to start in 2020 with lines running by 2030. TfLs has identified five Dalston sites, marked A-E on the map below, where there will potentially be considerable impact, including demolition and redevelopment of buildings, even streets.
  

The area shaded purple is the proposed underground platform with the new aboveground ticket offices at each end marked with a red triangle. The sites marked are on both sides of Kingsland ( east & west)  and are all said to be required for Crossrail2 construction. TfL suggest that redevelopment of those and adjoining sites could contribute to the cost of the Crossrail2 development (What? More unaffordable TfL flats? Ed.)


The Nat West bank building and its neighbours on Kingsland High Street  are within Site C and, across the road,  all the shops and homes on the south side of Bradbury Street are within Site B.


 South of Dalston Junction 574-586 Kingsland Road  and. across the road, an 1860 terrace of houses and all of Bentley Street south side are at risk of demolition.

For a more detailed analysis  of Crossrail2 impact on Dalston click here

Dalstons previous experience of TfLs consultation regarding the East London Line development did not inspire confidence, as you can read about here and here. It could all have been so much better.

TfLs Crossrail2 consultation will close on 8th January 2016 . Over the next 2 months, we will publish further information to help inform your response to TfLs plans. So watch this space and post comments on this blog.

Contact info@opendalston.net if you would like to join our team which is already examining and preparing a community response to TfLs  plans.

Create Your Own Magazine With Flipboard!

Create Your Own Magazine With Flipboard!



Ill be the first to admit, Im an infoholic. I love reading, I love research, and I love that we are so fortunate to have the internet as a tool that offers us the ability to access information on any topic we can imagine - literally at our fingertips. 

But for anyone who has ever looked up information on a specific topic on the internet, you will find that there are often too many search results that are not what you were looking for, or information that is inaccurate, and sometimes even articles that are poorly written. When I want to read about something, I want well written, factual content that comes from a reputable source. Cue: Flipboard! 
You can do so much with Flipboard! 
Whats it all about? The attraction of Flipboard is two-fold. First, its an awesome tool that is all about finding and collecting content that you love. You can "follow" just about any topic you are passionate about, and Flipboard presents that content to you in a beautiful, organized, and easy-to-read Flipboard magazine. You can use Flipboard on your desktop or on your mobile device with the Flipboard app, so you can take that content with you wherever you go, and read it whenever you like. Flipboard is the one place for all your interests!
 Here are a few of the topics I am following: 
Once you start choosing some topics of interest to follow on Flipboard, it will offer you suggestions of related topics that you might be interested in. There are more than 25 million Flipboard Magazines on just about any topic you can imagine!
Here are two screen shots of some of the topics I am following:



This is what my main page "feed" looks like when I open it up on my phone:
Additionally (and this is the really cool part!) Flipboard gives you the ability to share your own content from your blog or website as well, giving your content an entirely new audience. Not only that, but everything is easily organized in an attractive Flipboard Magazine  that can then be shared socially with friends and followers. "Flip", discover, share, and collect the stories you care about. Check it out !
 Here is a screenshot of my Flipboard with five Flipboard Magazines I created using my own content from my blog:
The magazines I created are: Upcycled Home Decor, Bohemian Home Decorating, Craft Tutorials, Jewelry Making Tutorials, and My Favorite Eats. Heres a closer look at each of my magazine "covers":

Check out the magazines that I created with Flipboard! 

Thats another one of the things I love about Flipboard - its beautiful! Flipboard Magazines are stylish and attractive. When you create a Flipboard Magazine, you are creating a visually stunning package of content. So not only does Flipboard give you one place to collect and share articles, blog posts and information, it allows you to add and share your own perspective on whatever it is that you are passionate about and then share it all - all in one beautiful package. Imagine sharing the things that inspire you with friends, followers, and customers. What an amazing resource! Here is a closer look at my "Craft Tutorials" Flipboard magazine:
