Striations are a product of a mineral's crystal habit. They can be very diagnostic and can even be an enhancement to the attractiveness of a specimen. They are incorrectly referred to as scratches, especially on transparent crystals. The most common cause of striations are the convergence or juxtaposition of two crystal faces

Prologue:
We were here,
We were there,
We are everywhere,
We are now gone.
Hidden from most of mankind is the realm of Fae where magic is still practiced. Long ago they retreated from the world of man by casting spells to deceive our senses. Shrouding magical creatures’ great and small, the kind, the gentle to the fierce and out right evil beings they did this all in an effort to keep them from the savages of mankind.
Yet from time to time mortals would tell tales of faerie sightings and magical creatures keeping legends alive.
The kingdom of the faerie is phased just out of reach of our sight and understanding but they are there never the less. Most of the sightings take place in pockets spread all over our planet; scattered over our world where the veil of their spell is weak. Such weak places are prominent in our world and are such places as The Great Pyramid of Giza, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Great Wall of China, The Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu and Stonehenge are a few of the many crossovers. The spell the Faerie cast those long ages ago also took from our landscape places of wonder. The Isle of Atlantis, Castle Camelot, The Colossus of Rhodes, The Mausoleum of Maussollos and of course Avalon lost to us either seemly destroyed or separated by the rift in time and space caused by their powerful spell. So powerful was the spell they cast that even today we lose places to their magic; Mount St Helens, Twin Towers are examples of recent losses.
Many cultures of our world such as the orient consider the number two as lucky; in the western hemisphere it’s the number seven. It is no coincidences that faerie have lucky numbers and why sometimes mankind deems them unlucky.
In Fae the number one stands for unity, four stands for “everything done as wished” and thirteen represented the natural number after 12 and before 14. It is the smallest integer with eight letters in its spelled out name in English. These are considered lucky by all faerie.
We kept secrets,
We hide ourselves,
We look in splendor,
We look afar.
Chapter One: The Book of Four’s
In a glade underneath the tree of life was the altar of Fa”dum which was surrounded by a circle of magic. The tree of life and the altar of Fa”dum were located in the ether of the circle. Carefully placed within the boundary of the circle were four megalithic stones: The eastern stone had a carved out hole in its center, thirteen lines were etched laden with gold representing the light of the sun. Opposite the sunstone stood the western stone; its center was a hole in which a silver hoop was inserted to represent the moon. The northern stone bore thirteen carved vertical lines filled with orange amber to represent fire. Opposite the firestone was the southern stone in which a four peaked wave was carved in it center filled with sapphires to represent water.
Set upon the altar Fa”dum laid the “Book of Four’s” in its pages all the secrets of the faerie are contained its a sort of guide to understanding their realm.
The “Book of Four’s” is square in shape and is leather bound. On its cover a silver hoop was embedded, inside the hoop were four thin bars of gold forming yet another square, its edges countering the placement of the megalithic stones. The corners of the square bore the following symbols. A green leaf representation of spring, a sunflower was opposite representing summer. An acorn was the representation of fall and opposite this was a white snowflake representing winter. Counting each side of the book and continuing towards the center count each item and any sides see that the numbers one, four and thirteen can be found.
There are many tribes of Faerie also called houses each of the houses adopted a flag to differentiae between the houses. Faerie also wear silver necklaces with their house emblems attached, which is a powerful source of their individual magic.

21 years and counting
A migration from the dark, cold and ice in more ways then one. The difference between an inviting place to call home where one could blend and not have to worry about being looked as an outcast. Many left for the same reasons with notes of encouragement and urging others to come into the light! I left Billings on Northwest Airlines on Dec 7, 1988 the temperature minus 5 with a windchill factor of minus 20, to Seattle where it was 55 degrees and raining.
It used to be that by my birthday in early March the weather was well in its way to spring with mild weather but that has changed. Now the normal is winter is hanging on with it's icy grip for a few more weeks. AHHHH..
Still I am glad to be here --
Friday, March 6, 2009
My ties with my immediate family has always been strange since late 1980's- My relationship with my parents was a factor of my moving from Billings to here. Since then its been an on and off again from OK to outright spooky.
So it was with a great amount of soul searching that I decided to visit them over last Thanksgiving. My brother and his wife were going to be there as well so had things gotten out of my comfort zone someone else would be there to ease the potential bad visit. I had not been on any aircraft since 09'11 the hassle with all the airport security was adding to my stresses.My parents became involved in politics a few years ago and I was able to keep tabs on their actions by searching google. My parents seemed to be aligning themselves towards a more liberal point of view and they were rooting for Obama. I saw this as a sign that perhaps their point of view would have softened.
As it turned out the trip was a good one. I extended an offer to have them come visit for a couple of days the next time they were going to visit my brother Julian, who lives in Billings it adds about 250 more miles to the trip. I told them if they were apprehensive about meeting Greg they could skip meeting him. I told them with they way the economy continued to worsen I might not be able to come visit them; how little did I know that things would be much worse and still could continue to spiral downwards.
Both my parents and brother asked me last November what I wanted for Christmas and my birthday --strange on their part since we rarely exchanged gifts so I answered before I really thought about it I really wanted a Bluray DVD player and an Amazon Kindle!
I had been researching a model by LG which could be hack to be a region Free HD/Bluray- this player supports all the old disc I have and some of my other region discs from the UK and other parts of the world.
Well for Christmas to my surprise got 2 LG players apparently my brother was bidding on EBay and accidentally purchased 2 players. He asked me in a phone conversation if I still had 2 TV's to which I answered yes to. When Christmas came so did my new players. I thought that was the end however to my surprise gifts however I got an email from my parents who said they all had chipped in last November to buy the disc player I wanted and at the same time they bought me a Kindle.
My birthday is next week and today I got a package and inside was a new Kindle version 1-- Since I have such a small home buying books takes up space having a Kindle offers me a way to get back into reading without taking up space. I just bought a 8 gig SD Card for $17.00 so I can hundreds of books on new Kindle without taking up space at home.
I am sure that if they had not pre-order/purchased these the situation of money would be out of reach for such purchases -- my brother business is way down his wife lost her job, my parents who are retired say their retirement have not been affected too much. As for me work continues I am crossing my fingers that Greg's position at his work continues. My new gadgets will keep me happy for the time being.
Oh by the way if you click on the title of my post you can see 3 sites that are offering a chance to win your own Kindle...BUT HURRY some of the contest end SOON!!

Edge of the Coin
Heads or Tails a coin toss to change our indecision. Next to impossible is the feat of getting the coin to stand on its edge without support. Coin spinning more for amusement no real practical use that I can think of.
Consider this: A coin has 3 sides is it a chance recreation of our 3 dimensional universe? Why do we seem to focus on only Heads or Tails why I wonder? Perhaps its similar to the Past and Future we all seem to worry and fret about; yet we leave out a facet the present is it because it's fleeting gone in a nanosecond.
My voting ballot arrived today I will not be using a coin toss to decide whom I shall vote for: I am inclined to vote in a change not because of my political party affiliation but for a chance to see a 3rd option take up offering sweeping changes that put us all at a cross road and until now has not present itself to us. I believe the edge of the coin will have a great impact on us all.
So I borrow lyrics to make a final statement about our choice to make a change.
You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You can change points of view
If you change points of view
You might change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world
