I believe that there are many things that we can be doing as individuals, as well as a whole to be bettering our planet. Humanity has taken such a hit in the last few decades that we often forget what it is like to do things for other people. That is why I am so impressed with many companies following the "Buy One, Get One" business plan. One of the companies that I am interested in is Roozt.com. They have sought after many different types of businesses that all have the common goal of helping out the world one product at a time. They feature many brands that people will find stylish and useful all while making a difference. On top of that they have also given incentive for new member sign up by promising "One Member, One Meal" to help fight hunger in America, no strings attached. I am all for people and businesses becoming successful and wealthy, but it is nice to see that there are those who are willing to share the wealth to help out their fellow man. Being able to do something that you love is always a bonus, but being able to donate your time, efforts and kindness can be even more rewarding. Please be sure to check out Roozt.com at the link below and enjoy witnessing what we can all do if we just help one person at a time.

Week2 EOC: Boston Consulting Group - Video Games
When it comes to comparing game consoles everyone has a favorite. Nowadays there are so many options as to how we play our games, that we have more of choice then ever. As far as consoles go, I am an Xbox 360 fan all the way. Not only has the Xbox gaming system been around longer than the PS3 and the newer generation of Nintendo, it also has more game choices, better online game play and hands free game control with the Kinect.
According to buzzle.com, "The new motion sensing platform for the Xbox 360 is known as the Kinect, and this is a revolutionary new technology where you do not need to use a controller at all. A camera, a motion sensor and a voice detector observe your movements and your speech and this allows you to stimulate the game in real time. Hence the You are the controller tagline by Microsoft. Playing games on the Kinect is truly a great and novel experience, while the PS3 Move has simply copied the technology of the Nintendo Wii."

"For people who are very particular about the clarity of the game and the gaming consoles abilities to handle complex graphics, the 360 will satisfy all your needs here. The X-box 360 with the Xenos graphic processing unit is able to churn out better graphical experiences than the PS3 with the RSX graphical processing unit. The Xbox 360's graphical processing unit also offers multithreading and a balanced design on the screen. Apart from the other features of Xbox 360's graphical processing unit like programmable vertex fetching, full rate texture fetching in the vertex shader, automatic shader load balancing, memory export features and other features of the Xenos graphic processing unit of Xbox360 makes it a superior product."

"And last but not least it is more user friendly than the PlayStation 3. It is made for all ages and anyone can understand it. It also has many games that are easier to understand for younger people. The system is also a lot less complicated in everything it does"

Above are just a few links to support my argument on why I believe that the Xbox360 is a better system than Play Station 3.
If we were to use the Boston Consulting Group Matrix, I would list all of the most current ways to game and entertain oneself in the following way;
Star: Game Apps (example: IPhone and Droid) They cost anywhere from free to a few dollars and they are mobile.
Cash Cow: Xbox360 and Play Station 3, While still pretty popular they are not always economically feasible for everyone, but still bring in money with games and downloadable content.
Question Mark: Wii and WiiU, I think that they are in the process of dying out because the competition with Microsoft and Sony is just to great.
Dog: Computer Games, while there are still a handful of people who still enjoy computer games, they are definitely outdated and will be history very soon.

Week 1 EOC: Great Customer Service
When you live in a city like Las Vegas, customer service is usually something you come to know as being very good. Our city is built on making people as happy as possible so that they are more inclined to become repeat customers and pass on business to you through word of mouth. I am a big fan of stay cations, especially since we have so many great hotels here. One weekend, kind of last minute, my husband and I decided to get a sitter for the kids. Since we didn't book our room in advance and it was a Friday, we were very limited. We had decided to stay at The M Resort and they only had one room available and it was the double level suite that runs $1500.00 a night on the weekends. We weren't sure what we were going to do, that was out of our price range and we don't get a sitter that often. Luckily the woman working the front desk was able to work her magic because we were locals and she understood our situation. When it was all said and done she got us into that amazingly beautiful suite for $300.00 for the night. While I recognize that is still pricey, we couldn't resist that incredible deal she worked out for us. Not only was she helpful, but everyone we have ever encountered at The M has be incredibly nice and helpful. The staff in all of their restaurants are very accommodating, as well as all of the staff throughout the casino floor. Overall I am very impressed with our local casino and I will continue to recommend them to friends and family.

Week 1 EOC: My Voice
As a professional photographer I want to capture beauty, mystery, humor, love and everything in between. It is my job to capture those moments that mean something, not only to myself, but also to my future clients. My photography interest began 16 years ago in high school. From there I began my photographic journey shooting everything from sports, to babies to families and even nature from time to time. I have worked in a few studios as both an assistant and a photographer. That has helped me grow professionally along the way. Several years down the road I met my husband and started a family and my photography took a back seat. It was never gone, but sometimes forgotten behind changing diapers, getting the kids off to school and cleaning up the house. Now that my children have gotten older, the camera finds its way out more often and not just to capture my favorite moments. I feel that I can only grow as a photographer. I still have much to learn and will probably always be learning as I go. I think that is what makes a great photographer. Someone who isn't afraid to take risks and loves developing relationships with their clients, that's the photographer I hope to be. Capturing those epic moments through the lens is my job and more importantly my passion. That's what I hope to accomplish with my business, my knowledge and my talent in the future.
