Casual games are not best played full screen. People like to play them while surfing, or iChatting or doing a bit of email. Big Bang Board Games recognizes this and becomes part of their Mac OS X experience. You can effortlessly send turns back and forth via email, invite your IM buddy to a match from within the game itself or just scan your local network–it’s never been this easy. And once the game starts, the tight integration into Apple’s Address Book, iSight, and your iTunes playlists is just what you’d hope...

...Teacher Love at the lips was touch As sweet as I could bear; And once that seemed too much; I lived on air That crossed me from sweet things, The flow of - was it musk From hidden grapevine springs Down hill at dusk? I had the swirl and ache From sprays of honeysuckle That when they're gathered shake Dew on the knuckle. I craved strong sweets, but those Seemed strong when I was young; The petal of the rose It was that stung. Now no joy but lacks salt That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault; I crave the stain Of tears, the after mark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove. When stiff and sore and scarred I take away my hand From leaning on it hard In grass and sand, The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength To feel the earth as rough To all my length. “To Earthward” by Robert Frost exemplifies the concept of how attraction and love change over the years from youth to bitter love to a love that craves relief from the pain of life. Frost begins the poem’s first stanza with the lines “Love at the lips was touch/As sweet as I could bear”. With this opening phrase Frost shows that youthful love is consumed with simple kissing and the simple...

...company, one has to keep employees happy and make them keep wanting to work. Employees are the backbone of your company, they are the ones who keep the company going; sure the executives have to make some big time decisions but for the most part the employees help run the company. Gary Kelley has kept Southwest traditions by the low fares and great customer service. That is what made Southwest what it is today. He then made a decision that I think changed Southwest in the best way, by making bags fly for free. All of the other airlines make you pay to check a bag. This new strategy greatly gained them customers. Southwest has always been known for its point-to-point flights, but in recent years airports like Houston Hobby and Dallas Love Field have become de facto hubs. Southwest had evolved over the years, it flies longer routes, it flies...

...Southwest identified an opportunity within Texas for short distance air service between Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio. These Texas cities were often referred to as one single market area, although they were some of the fasted growing in the nation. Southwest recognized that Pacific Southwest Airlines had a similar business plan in California servicing Los Angeles to San Francisco, so they took this similar concept, and set their goals to provide quick, reliable service that local passengers sought to utilize. Within this Texas market included two other airlines, Braniff and TI. Both did not originally specialize in short distance air travel, and most short distance flights started at a larger location such as New York and traveled through the Texas cities as a multiple stop trip. Southwest’s choice to enter the market initiated a quick process to implement their strategy. Within 4 months, they would implement a marketing strategy and begin servicing the area. The problem with the Texas market was as soon as Southwest implanted a strategy and promotion, Braniff and TI would closely follow and form a very similar strategy. Southwest’s third phase of their advertising campaign led to Braniff once again matching the promotion that they are offering, and Southwest’s response to Braniff’s move would help establish southwest as a successful company. Within the Texas market, Southwest has created many strengths that will help set them apart from the current brand...

...“Row” Analysis Essay The poem presents the experience of quarreling through the use of imagery, with giving personification to a noun to help the reader understand the feelings of a row. ‘the room swayed and sank down on its knees’, this shows the feelings that are occurring within the room itself, not the actual room. The use of the personification creates the idea of how the air or atmosphere in the room is, the air ‘swayed’ as being unstable, changing, attempting to stay normal but fighting to be upright. The ‘sank down on its knees’ (when one is weak, has given up or is in defeat) shows the part of giving up, but did not sink all the way down, this could present that the feelings are still trying to fight back without giving up completely....

...Topic: Unspoken Love Quote 1 A. Viola (in her disguise as Cesario) comes to Olivia to deliver the speech Orsino has sent her to carry. It is his message of love for Olivia, however, Cesario sets aside the prepared message and proceeds to tell Olivia what he would do if he were in love with her. It sets the stage for Olivia to fall in love with Viola, yet dressed and known as the man Cesario. B. ”Make me a willow cabin at your gate And call upon my soul within the house, Write loyal cantons of contemnèd love, And sing them loud even in the dead of night; Hallow your name to the reverberate hills, And make the babbling gossip of the air Cry out ’Olivia!’ O, you should not rest Between the elements of air and earth But you should pity me.” (237-245) C.”Make me a cabin at your gate and call upon my heart within the house, Write loyal words of true love, And sing them loud even in the dead of night so all can hear, Hallow your name above the hills, And make the babbling gossip of the air cry out’ Olivia!’ O, you should not rest Between the elements of air and earth But you should pity me for my love for you is painfully never ending.” D. Viola (as Cesario) is stating that if she were Orsino, she would be outside Olivia’s gate night and day, proclaiming her love, until Olivia took “pity” on her for the strength of that love (as if she were Cesario). E. Olivia is falling in love with Viola (a woman playing the role of a man) trying to help Olivia fall in love with her Lord....

...In this article, Salman Rushdie gives a metaphor of the imagination that, “somewhere up there you might find a giant set of faucets, and that the air we breathe flows from those faucets, hot air and cold air and tepid air from some celestial mixer-unit”. In this case, air is something we do not appreciate as much as we do like lets say starbucks, the faucet is basically our brain and how our creativity is put there and censors are the people who clog and unclog the faucets. By people limiting what comes out, all the unknown things are kept from us. Not only is imagination, which is very creative in most cases,kept from our society but it keeps us from expressing our imagination. Writers are people they, “want to talk about how much they get paid, and they want to gossip about other writers and how much they get paid, and they want to complain about critics and publishers, and gripe about politicians, and they want to talk about what they love, the writers they love, the stories and even sentences that have meant something to them, and, finally, they want to talk about their own ideas and their own stories, their things” (Rushdie Page 1). As a contestant of censorship, it does not have the way for writers to give their freedom that they are suppose to have. What seems as everyday talk between...

...and smelling the crisp fresh and cool air. Fall makes me so happy and I am anxious for it to come every single year. Everything during fall is absolutely wonderful, I love it! Some of the best times that I have had in my life, oddly occurred during the fall season; and I sometimes wonder if that may be part of the reason(s) that I cherish it so much. Fall is such a beautiful and blissful season; it is the best season of the year. Fall is so wonderful mainly because of the beautiful scenery it displays. Here in Arizona, the summers are very hot and dry, and it almost feels dreadful at times; but the fall here is absolutely beautiful. You can start to notice the transition into fall around mid- September because the mornings are sort of wet from the precipitation and you can feel the cool air gently fan across your whole entire body. Not only that, but later in September, the leaves start to turn into the beautiful array of sunburst orange, medallion yellow and cherry red, and when the leaves start to fall onto the cold hard ground, you can feel and hear the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet. The cool air is so crisp and refreshing; you can feel the slight wind of the cool air tingle your cheeks lightly. The weather is not to cold and not too warm, it is just the perfect measure of both. It is lovely. Not only is the sight of fall beautiful, the different aromas in the air are just as pleasing. Fall has such a unique smell in the air. It is a wonderful mixture of sweet pumpkin...

...While reading a story, it is un-noticeable that the theme can coincide with the setting. In some stories, it might be unchallenging, but there are some writers that do make it challenging. For instance, Edgar Allen Poe’s works, describe vivid details. His themes provide emotions and scenery – which gives a better understand or feel. The emotions that Poe shows in the story are generally a dark type of feeling – making the theme to be related to that type of feeling and emotion. In Poe’s work of “The Raven” he describes setting types that benefit in understanding the theme, which is life after a death or grief, loss, madness, and even love. In the beginning of “The Raven” Poe states, “a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary … and a curious volume of forgotten love” (Bayum 637). When he uses the words midnight and dreary those show an emotion of dark as well as eerie. Since, dreary means bleak and lifeless they relate to depression. With the words, weak and weary – they both mean lifeless as well as extreme exhaustion. Feeling tired and the lack of doing anything are the signs of depression too. Grieving shows many kinds of emotions, while during the time of grieving the feeling that will be felt is sadness – that follows in pursuit of...

...Anthem by Ayn Rand expresses many forces including love and fear. Love and fear are extremely different forces, yet they can completely change a person's outlook on something. Throughout the story, fear shapes Equality’s identity, not because of his own feardom, but because he witnessed how the whole community was scared to be individuals. Equality did not want to live his life in fear of being different, so he went off on his own to be different. As the story goes on, and Equality meets the Golden One, he develops love towards her. This love shapes Equality's personality. Both forces, love, and fear, shape Equality's identity throughout the story and continue to shape people around him. Love shapes Equality's personality because of...
