Socotra Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari): Vulnerability of Intricately Branched Giving Tree

The computer crashed before I could complete my ponderings about cinnabari-awareness celebrations.

Online sources such as Amazon do advertise Dracaena cinnabari seeds among their product lines.

So such a joyous consciousness-raising, tree-awareness celebration does seem possible. But does its vulnerability not demand doing all the pre-event preparations, all the entire event, all the post-event preparations as resource-aware and waste-free as possible?

But, even so, perhaps I expect to be the pleased, proud parent of my own homegrown Socotra dragon's blood tree even as I already know where to grow and locate it!

Famous Witches in Literary History

From the top of my head - no. If the witch is an opponent, the goal of the hero(ine) is probably to destroy her. Dying by accident would be a disappointment from the dramatical view. Frank Baum could afford killing his witch because he used her death as a trigger for the journey, where the story actually starts. And he still kept three witches and a wizzard alive.

Religious Liberty: a freedom under threat

I have never heard of a druid being crucified. Druids were found in Celtic domains and tended to be killed off in Roman massacres. But druids survived in Scotland and Ireland, and seem to gain a short flowering in Wales subsequent to the Romans' departure.

The Drovers' Route: Keswick to Ambleside

There may be records somewhere, but I have no access to them. In the highlands men received their allocation of land in return for military service to the clan chief. Money did not change hands in the non cash economy of the highlands at the time.

The fourth subheading,Wreath Black Christmas Cardigan with Lights, accounts for my favorite, Christmas, lightable wreath.

How does one clean such a sweater?

The 100 Episode Review: "Fog of War"

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Secrets Revealed, advises us that "The biggest revelation from this episode had to be the origin of the Reapers. Up until this episode, I had always figured the cannibalistic group was a natural occurrence of a radiation-stricken planet. As it turns out, they are the unnatural result of the experiments conducted by Mount Weather with Lincoln (Ricky Whittle) now counted among their numbers. While Mount Weather's overall motives are still unclear, this does show just how dangerous the "Mountain Men" can be."

Does the scientific basis of such doings as naturally cannibalistic occurrences of a radiation-compromised planet, unnatural results of experiments and yellow fog act verasimiltudinously?

English Surnames

Thank you, Frank and Veronica, for your comments below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Frank, Your answer one comment box down advises us that "The Saxon kingdom's seem to have taken abfierce beast their eemblem. Wessex took the WhitevDragon, which became changed to the Golden Dragon."

Is the Angle kingdom's emblem known?

(Isn't it irritating the way the spell-checker inserts a "b" between "a" and "fierce" for "abfierce"; an extra "e" for "eemblem"; and a "v" between the terminal "e" and the initial "D" for the run-on "WhitevDragon"? I'd really be confused if I wended my way as an English-language learner!)

English Surnames

Thank you, Frank and Veronica, for your comments below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Veronica, some online sources associate Wuffing with King Wuffa (reigned 570s?). English Wikipedia brings forth an image from Cheshire cartographer, chronologer, historian John Speed's (1551/1552?-Jul 28, 1629) Saxon Heptarchy (1611). That image clothes in red King Wuffa, who carries a blue shield.

Do we know whether displaying such colors declare -- what with Wuffa perhaps designating a "little wolf" -- some biogeographical or character trait?

Religious Liberty: a freedom under threat

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Christians considered as traitors to Roman emperors and Druids choosing conduct "militantly hostile" to such imperial, imperious rulers intrigues me.

Might crucifixion have been meted to Christians and to Druids or just to the former?

Individual clan members renting clan chief-propertied lands intrigues me.

Is it known what amounts and mediums such rent involved?

The 100 Episode Review: “Remember Me”

A 100th episode equates to a certain endurance for a television series.

Your final grade indicates thusly.

Your first two summary sentences under the final subheading, Final opinion, suggest no loose ends.

You tell us that "There wasn’t as much action in this one as some of the other episodes. But, it did a good job setting up what is sure to be an exciting battle between the fledgling alliance and the Mountain Men."

What would more action warrant?

Principles of Moroccan Interior Design; How To Transform Your Living Space into an Exotic Retreat

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Dustcloth, mild detergent and water sound so effectively sensible, so sensibly effective.

What cloth material -- since some would streak -- would be best?
