Scribus, Desktop Publishing Software Instruction

Be a Hero and help a brother out! The rewards will be worth your while! In only one hour, I want to equip and teach you HOW TO publish a full-page newsletter like this:

Requirements:

a computer running Window
a willing heart
and one hour of time

I desperately need your help evaluating one of my school assignments. I need at least two people to have completed an exit survey before 7:00am on Wednesday morning, MST.

(I feel like I'm peddling Girl Scout Cookies, expect instead of selling Samoas, I'm selling some brand of cookie no one has ever heard of before. So just trust me. My cookies are delicious!)

If you are willing to help me out, go to this website that my partner, Josh Pope, created and follow the instructions. You will be instructed to download a free piece of desktop publishing software called Scribus™. The goal of our instruction is to help users learn to use Scribus to create Christmas newsletters, Monthly ward bulletins, Event announcements, etc. This software is a great alternative for those who aren't willing to shell out over $1000 for InDesign™ and the Deluxe Adobe Suite™. We have designed the instruction so it should only take you one-hour to complete, start to finish (unless you are severely retarded). JK

Your feedback will provide me with a formative assessment of the project. I will make some changes based on your remarks and in a couple of weeks, the instruction will be finalized and you can share our website with who ever you want.

I know you're even the tiniest bit curious to see what new digital monster we've created!

MuHHHahhHaaaaHaaa!

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB". The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc. Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching Good Witch (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that thing as The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
