Call it what it is!
I dont take offense to the word newbe or beginer, we all were at one time.
I like to use the words “new player”, and we always team them up with the best players at our board, we show them as much as we can and explain why we do certain things and the game isnt the end of the world if you crap out on rolls or make a bad move.
We also tell them why we attack where we do and each player has a different plan of attack,and let them choose what they want to do. Some times we reset pretty early too
Its good when a newly started player gets good dice and they can hammer an old pro
All the other animals died in hours breathing that air. It caused the lungs to liquefy. Humans lived in homes that had poor insulation and they had to cover up with wet towels and many died. Thats black cloud moved at 60 MPH and just made the day into night. The jackrabbits were able to survive on very dry conditions, while all the natural predators died off, creating a huge population rise. Entire counties were covered in jackrabbits running around. Its on the History Channel and its a must see. I could not believe how bad it was back then.
The locusts arrived because all the animals that ate them also died ( birds etc…) SO it was the same for other bugs like Centipedes and spiders… just showed up 10 fold and stung children and old people to death.
They said it covered the eastern half of USA is 1/4 inch dust, plus the Atlantic on the worst day called “black Sunday”
After reading the article i wondered how any USies ever have traveled abroad or even overseas.
All those that were in France seemed to have seen something else than expected. Who or what might have made them expect the “wrong” thing?
How many will keep their prejudices as they do not/ can not/ can’t afford to travel?
@HortenFlyingWing:
care about the environment. Loggin’ is their biggest business.
well, we do “care” about the environment - prolly more than America, as well as many other nations. We are the home of Greenpeace, afterall. Also there are many “renewable resource” programs in place, and dozens of friends of mine spend their summers working tree-planting for these logging companies, etc.
No no, not logging. Our shame is in Alberta - a province that is working against Kyoto and environmental measures (it’s the Texas of Canada - with the good and the bad), not that Ontario is so great either - much industry near Toronto etc. Also we do waste quite a bit. Nice having all that landfill room.
SILENCE, LIBERAL! No one is CONSERVATIVE, but ME.

@Jermofoot:
I didn’t know it was illegal to live in one state and have a license plate from another, at least under certain circumstances. I call BS on that part. You can buy a car from someone in another state, and have the license plate until it needs to be renewed.
Actually no. I most states you are required by law to transfer the pate within 30 days of your change of residence. This is usually not strongly enforced, except in states where Property Tax is levied on vehicles. There they tend to be a bit picky about it since it means cash for the government coffers.
