Rated 2 / 5 stars
It would be better if the concept was not incredibly dumb and played unfitting music for something to do with zombies the music is more of final fantasy and A LOT less like apocalyptic then it should, it sounds too fantasy and other worldly.

Just plain awesome *-* Good Job :D

For each writer, the Summer Writers Colony consists of a writing workshop, three literary salons, and a variety of optional supplemental activities. The schedule of organized activities is Monday through Thursday.
The writing workshop is the core of the Writers Colony program. Workshop classes are limited to 12 students. An experienced writer-teacher focuses on student manuscripts, guiding you in the creative acts of self-editing and revision through class exercises and private conferences.
You register for the Summer Writers Colony by selecting a workshop. After you've registered, choose one literary salon (see below) per week and email your salon choices to email@example.com.
Brando Skyhorse, Take This Man
Instructor: Karen McKinnon
Class Meetings: June 1-3, 6:00 p.m.
PEN/Hemingway Award winner Brando Skyhorse has written a stunning memoir of his turbulent childhood with a mother determined to give her son everything but the truth. When he is three years old, Brando Kelly Ulloa is abandoned by his Mexican father. His mother, Maria, dreaming of a more exciting life, sees no reason for her son to be Mexican just because he started out that way. Through a series of letters to Paul Skyhorse Johnson, a stranger in prison for armed robbery, Maria reinvents herself and her young son as American Indians in the Mexican-American neighborhood of Echo Park, California, renaming her son Brando Skyhorse. There Brando and his mother live with his sharp-tongued grandmother and a rotating cast of surrogate fathers. It will be more than 30 years before Brando begins to untangle the truth of his own past, when a surprise discovery online leads him to his biological father. In this Salon, we will discuss the craft of this memoir to explore-beyond plot-to learn what makes Take This Man so compelling.
Please read Take This Man before the first day of the salon.
Nathan Englander, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank
Instructor: Andrew Zornoza
Class Meetings: June 1, 2, and 4, 6:00 p.m.
"I was in my room dreaming of a writing life, and wondering how one gets permission, or a license to be a writer. Where one goes to get anointed or deputized or something like that, and then I understood, there's nothing to do, and no one to tell you, and nowhere to go. One just has to decide to write. . . ." This advice comes from Nathan Englander, the celebrated author, whose latest collection What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank has won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and is a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. But is it that easy? How do writers create worlds that don't fall apart? In stories that contain fantasy and infinities - from the fictional world of Raymond Carver to the horrors and memory of the holocaust – Nathan Englander is still able to make his world seem small enough that it could live in our own backyard. He is also able to collapse the past into the present in the very linear form of the short-story. No easy feat. In this salon we will explore the language and design of one of the English language's finest writers: to better understand the craft of narrative, to examine how detail and feeling can bring to life a universe. To understand better, when we ourselves sit down to write, how we can build stories that endure.
Please read What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank before the first day of the salon.
Leslie Jamison, The Empathy Exams
Instructor: Madge McKeithen
Class Meetings: June 8-10, 6:00 p.m.
None of the essays in Leslie Jamison's Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize-Winning and New York Times Best-Selling Empathy Exams stops where it ends. In these ceaselessly self-suspicious and cognitively and lyrically contrapuntal essays, Jamison thinks about and against her own empathy and her own perceptions. With persistence and talent, bravery and bravura, she pushes to the core of experiences that span a wide-ranging territory - from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration. She opens each essay toward "the other" that empathy demands and pushes the work beyond self-absorption, solipsism, and self-indulgence. Jamison writes in her afterword, reprinted from The Guardian, "I started to feel like confession could be the opposite of solipsism. My confessions elicited responses. They coaxed chorus like a brushfire…(To) the people who looked me in the eye…and said: this gave me permission to talk about what hurt. To them, I say: thank you for making my confession larger than itself." This salon will begin with the author's and the judge's afterwords and examine the stylistic and thematic success of the eleven essays and of the book as a whole before welcoming the author for a reading and discussion during the third session.
Please read The Empathy Exams before the first day of the salon.
Jericho Brown, The New Testament
Instructor: Kathleen Ossip
Class Meetings: June 8, 9, and 11, 6:00 p.m.
Race, sex, broken families, religious faith: These are the subjects of The New Testament's astringent lyric poems. In his second book, Jericho Brown confronts the brutally flawed world with anger, a sly light touch, and, always, remarkable sureness of how language creates a place of beauty. He honors his identity as an African American man while insisting on an enlarged and explosive voice and a rightful place for it. Jericho Brown is the recipient of the Whiting Writers'Award and fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, and the National Endowment for the Arts. His poems have appeared in The Nation, The New Republic, The New Yorker, The Best American Poetry, and Nikki Giovanni's 100 Best African American Poets. Brown's first book, Please, won the American Book Award. He is a professor in the creative writing program at Emory University in Atlanta.
Please read The New Testament before the first day of the salon.
Dorothea Lasky, ROME
Instructor: Justin Sherwood
Class Meetings: June 15-17 at 6:00 p.m.
Dorothea Lasky's ROME makes a major intervention in what has historically been called "confessional poetry": "I hated most of all when they talked about feelings", Lasky writes, " It was a long time if they felt me, if ever / So I took the I as bloody as it came / And put it on the platter for them to eat". Lasky's fourth book of poems makes a meal of the poet's heart, staging a sequence of post-love poems as public and unpadded as ROME's Colosseum. Lasky repeatedly steps off the stage of the page to implicate the reader and challenge our passivity. In this salon we study how Lasky achieves this effect, and we consider her work alongside her stated influences, Catullus and Anne Sexton, Nicki Minaj and Drake. We carefully dissect these seemingly straightforward poems to discover the historical and syntactical depth and breadth on display. Dorothea Lasky's previous poetry collections include Thunderbird, Black Life, and AWE, all from Wave Books; she was awarded a Bagley Wright fellowship in 2013 and is currently an assistant professor of poetry at Columbia University.
Please read ROME before the first day of the salon.
Justin Torres, We The Animals
Instructor: Jenny Zhang
Class Meetings: June 15-16 at 6:00 p.m. and June 17 at 12:30 p.m.
We The Animals, Justin Torres' sparse debut novel, is brimming with delicate stories of family, of growing up, of facing reality, and of delaying it. Narrated by the youngest son of a Puerto Rican father and white mother from Brooklyn raising their three young sons in upstate New York, the novel is comprised of vignettes detailing moments spent in the eye of the ferocious bubble of home. Torres paints a large picture through diminutive strokes, evoking envy for the couple's passion and fear for just how easily that passion turns to rage. The brothers wrestle, fight, cry, and laugh as their family is torn and repaired over and over again. Torres's prose is fierce, grabbing hold of the reader and allowing him inside the wrenching, whirlwind of a life lived intensely.
Please read We The Animals before the first day of the salon.

In South Africa greetings. Since the Z10 was launched early 2013 I haven't seen the handset in many hands of my fellow citizens. Common reason linked to this is the fact that when the handset was launched it was too steeply priced. Only top ranked managers would afford to buy the handset,middle earners could only dream of owning the handset and the low income earners could totally not afford.
Blackberry z10 was launched in the midst of serious competitors (iphone5,sony xperia z series,samsung galaxies) and so on. Therefore it was a bad time to have the handset launched at the time. Buyers who purchased the item were the Blackberry loyalists and the rich.
The absence of Google applications within the applications from RIM Enterprise added some extra pressure of poor sales regarding the handset. The inclusion of Amazon App Application with the latest handsets (Blackberry Passport,Blackberry Classic and Z3) might attract more buyers to the Blackberries.
Me personally would like to own a Z10 even though it has quickly lost fame. I have heared a lot of disastisfaction from the owners of the handset like (the battery cannot serve enough power as it is promised,it is too complicated to use,the Blackberry 10 devices are not BIS enabled) and so on.
But what I like about this handset,is its uniqueness,smartly handcrafted,an IpHone owner feel envous when looking at the Z10 owner. The only let downs regarding this handset is the lack of Google goodies otherwise it is a great handset to own.

Convenience and comfort is one feature I crave for in a phone but am not getting it from this BlackBerry Z10. I can't download movies neither song even opera mini. I can't buy a phone and be expected to buy a computer at the same time. My previous BB 9320 does better in downloading. Any remedy please?

Now, you must excuse the quality of this video. We were so starstruck to be interviewing Mr. Lagerfeld–he is the larger-than-life genius behind Chanel and Fendi, after all–that when we were talking to him, our focus on the camera wavered. Poor directing aside, Karl was warm, immaculately groomed and surprisingly easy to talk to. Check out the clip to find out about his indulgences and what flavor Chanel would be if it were an ice cream(!).
