Urban Reserve
This is the first community of its kind:
A neighborhood of modern, single-family homes, designed by a select group of regionally and nationally recognized architects. Our goal is to create a unique lifestyle founded on a synthesis of modern design, ready access to nature, a respect for the environment, and the good fortune of a rare and beautiful location just minutes from downtown Dallas.
Fiber: How much do you Really need?
Overhyped? How much do you Really need?
Everyone tells us we need it….we need more and more fiber, that’s the solution to all our problems. Ok, first thing I always like to ask when hearing something like this is “who” said we need it. The usual answer for most of these general health concepts are to respond doctors or scientists or some other random source. But do you even know why we need it? To have more bowel movements? Nope sorry…false assumption. To lower cholesterol? Nope sorry, never been proven. To lower the risk of colon cancer? Well….yes and no, and you will see that below in more detail. First let’s go over the 2 types of fiber:
- Soluble – fiber that is “water soluble” (put it in water it expands into a large gel like substance). This is what expands in our guts, gives us a feeling of fullness, slows down digestion.
- Insoluble – fiber that is NOT “water soluble”, this goes through us like sand through a long winding pipe. Simple enough huh?
Focus on what users want
Small Business Lessons from Lolcats?
Ben Huh, CEO of the Cheezburger network
Huh stresses how important the community has been to the success of the Cheezburger network.
“There was no reason for us to reinvent the wheel, so we decided that we wanted to concentrate on what was really truly unique to us, which was the great community that was actually creating all this content.”
“For us, we felt that we didn’t want to break new ground. We didn’t have the resources to do so. We weren’t a giant corporation with a lot of R&D dollars, so we wanted to focus on something simple, and I think a lot of smaller businesses forget that,” he adds. “If you’re focused on what your users want from you, you can continue to grow, which then gives you the ability to do things that are more challenging.”
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe -Anatole France
