Re: Cryptics short set
1. erase = wipe out; era = period.
i'm not sure of the solution, and i don't know the technical terms to explain or justify this one.

ERA+S+E is correct. ("beginnings refers to the first letters S & E of "showing" & "early."

Re: Cryptics short set
THORNS for #10 and ORIGINAL for # 6 are both correct. Yes, I messed up on the letter count for ORIGINAL. Thanks.
Does anyone know a way to get around that annoying smily that results when you put the number "eight" in parentheses?
