P3R Grows With Dandelion Ranch

P3R welcomes Dandelion RanchClover Chadwick, owner and principle designer, can completely transform any space with her seasonal and sustainable designs, which start with local growers.

Within a moment of seeing a Dandelion Ranch arrangement, you can tell that it wasn’t created by an ordinary flower shop.  Their arrangements are not just plopped into boring glass vases, but carefully composed in vintage or modern opaque containers, which they consider to be as important as the blooms themselves!  All of their arrangements are unique and truly remarkable.

Dandelion Ranch‘s philosophy is that they are committed to doing as much as they can to help our planet remain a safe, healthy, and beautiful haven.  Apparently it is customary for florists to use a floral foam that is non-biodegradable and that has been found to cause harm to the environment (as well as to the people who handle it.) Dandelion Ranch uses a completely safe, earth-friendly alternative made from natural ingredients.

How often do you buy flowers for your home?

BRWC Profiles The Runelords’ David Farland

Sledge, editor of BattleRoyaleWithCheese was intrigued by The Runelords and interviewed author and mastermind behind the project, David Farland.  David divulges his inner-most thoughts about the fantasy series’ film adaptation and we’ve shared a clip of their conversation:

Would your novels make great films/TV series? Star Wars: The Courtship of Princess Leia?

They would. In fact, we’re getting ready to take the Runelords to Hollywood and make a movie. I’ve written the screenplay, and you can learn more about it on our website.

BRWC: Tell us about the Runelords?

David Farland: The Runelords is a fantasy novel set in a strange world where the lords can draw attributes–such as brawn, wit, glamour, and speed–from their vassals, through the use of magical branding irons called “forcibles.” Thus, a lord can have the strength of ten men, the speed of three. But the spell only lasts as long as the lord and the vassal both remain alive, and so the lords must be careful to protect those who serve them.

The story tells of Gaborn Val Orden, a prince who is reluctant to use his powers. He hates the idea of taking the wit from a man, leaving him a fool, or taking the sight from a man, leaving him blind.

While on the way to visit a princess who is of like mind, he discovers that her kingdom has been invaded by a king who has taken so many attributes, he is godlike in his power. So Gaborn finds himself thrust into a battle for the fate of a girl, a kingdom, and an entire world.

BRWC: Why make this into a film?

David Farland: I love storytelling in all mediums. Film is much easier for an audience to grasp than a book, though it isn’t as satisfying.

BRWC: How is the process from book to film going?

David Farland: It’s going great. I’ve done eight drafts on the film, and we’ll begin taking meetings with studios soon.

BRWC: What would you want us to take from the Runelords?

David Farland: Ah, now we’re getting into themes. The Runelords is about a world where ruthless men abuse those without wealth. Ultimately, it’s about compassion, sacrifice, and honor.

Check out BRWC for the full interview!

The Latest Pinterest Craze

Online pinboard “Pinterest” is the hottest, new website.  TechCrunch.com reports, “Pinterest generated 421 million pageviews in the U.S. in October of 2011, up 2,000 percent since June when it was at an estimated 20 million.”

What exactly is Pinterest all about? Imagine what a teenager would decorate their room with: posters, pictures; essentially everything they loves and are inspired by.  The website takes a virtual turn on this concept, as it essentially connects users through the ‘things’ they find interesting.

Pinterest invites visitors to set up their own “pinboards” and “pin/repin” photos they like in categories they create; for instance: favorite recipes, inspirations, wedding/event ideas, DIY, fashion, travel images, could be titles of specific “boards.”

The website is aimed at a wide variety of users, and not all of them consider themselves tech-savvy.  Some users that are perplexed by other forms of social media find this website easier to navigate.

It’s also a great way to discover new products. Businesses are using this popular site to their advantage.  Using Pinterest as another route to connect with customers, many small businesses are seeing increases in revenues.  Businesses that have strong visual appeal can really benefit.   According to Hitwise, “Pinterest is the third most popular social networking site behind Facebook and Twitter in the U.S., with users spending an average of 16 minutes per visit on the site.”
