Etymology Section

Here is where creativity and investigations gets you in trouble.

Consider this buried in the newsroom at KTFUPR.

Lhasa – The capital of Tibet

Bainqen – the name of a line of living Buddha’s

Bain – as in pour le bain – French for something tod o with water

qen -> quen – let’s just make a relationship with the word “what”

I.e. What water?

creativity leads one to L’Hasa –> Le Hasa – –> L _ Hasa_ —> Le Hasan

who or what is Hasan? OR who are the Hasan?

Tangent – Shaikh Uvais was the father of an executed son who took over his rule after he died. The son’s name was Hasan.

Point – Documented etymology leading to a relationship to the name Hassan leads to  the word Assassin. A different Hassan than the previously mentioned one. An older version of the word is actually Hassassin. Or follower of Hassan.

After this point, I’ll bet you use spell check on all of your documents.

Something else….. Just to keep you reading.

An older name for the captial of Tibet (i.e. Lhasa is Rasa)

Think in terms of Tabulae Rasa in Latin. This is defined sometimes as “blank slate”.

Continue the thread and think Blank Table. If you have a blank table or a blank ledger there is nothing in it. Or a zero amount. Considering that “history is the news”, what if Lhasa was Ground Zero a long time ago. I thinkI understand better why some monks wear yellow (saffron robes) close to there skin and not red.

There’s more to this. 

Adir Al-Saqqara reporting.

Spitzer, Spritzer, Water Wars Intelligence

Please do not quote Tespid, Rabbit, Snow Goose, or Fluted Frog on this.

I was told to write, and just consider me a roving reporter who is remembering.

1) There is a name of a bathroom and kitchen fixture company that is called Spitzer. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that company had water rights somewhere. Check you water table records and surface rights records. Also I just found out Spitzer is a name of a company and possibly satillite of NASA that does a WHOLE LOT of water finding. Break out your dowser great granma and pa in the Ozarks, its about to be a gusher.

2) The next most convenient reason to end wars with Islamic water engineers and pull out all those books on fountains and oases in the desert that are tiled and well designed pools of water in the middle of nowhere. Islamic, Arab, Middle Eastern history book hold some of , if not the foremost knowledge on building water systems. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you try pulling water out of the desert with your barehand, rather than using an established aquifer system. Ottoman Turks and I thinkthe Umayids (I’ll have to check on this) spent modern day slave markets worth of money designing a water system that would draw water from probably 100s of miles away, or in the least making there was a central fountain for drawing water every few blocks from a handful of water sources. I’ll find the book to cite the sources, but ask around. You’d be surprised.

3) Another reason to end or truce some bullshit with Italy: The Aquaducts and Aquafir system built during the Roman empire. (ie. How do bring water to a city of millions citizens and a couple or million illegal immigrants? You build a connection from the snow covered mountains some kilometers away to filter and collect into the city.)

4) Looking at a book and architectural designs is never emough to replacate or modify a project for your own use. YOU MUST ALWAYS VISIT THE SITE AND MEASURE FOR YOURSELF. Don’t forget to get permssion and assistance. Go during daylight hours, it looks less like your a confirmed problem. If you go at night after going during the day, be sure to have security and double permissions. It is like apartment or house hunting. It looks gorgeous during the day and all the neighbors are pleasant (the ones who are there), it is quiet and the dwelling looks good at a glance. When you go back at night, you’ll discover the crack whore house next door, the teenage gangbangers who always park in front of the house you want so desparately to buy, you might see the slowly growing cockroach infestation and the fighting couple inthe middle of a divorce and/or separation on the floor below your prize pick of an apartment. By the way, did you check the police reports, this is the sector that north and east never find time to cover because of the real estate war between the adjacent counties you want to buy your house in. That is your Public Service Anouncement for today.

Please be smart,

do your part and use gravity to your advantage.

Use inclines, do not depend 100% on turbines

and you’ll find you won’t have to travel from Maine to Timbucktoo

to make a cup of tea for your grammy, me and you.

Literary Section – Editors Comments

James Frey is not the first and will not be the last.

Radio news announced that a female author out of California is in the same boat, but some will quibble whether it is a steamship or a yacht. No names named, but a memoir on growing up in the “mean streets” by someone who obviously had security and pampering from day one of conception is doubtful in ethics or truth. KTFUPR believes in truth in fiction even if its buried between the lines on the journal pages. Encouragement from us to you is to write no matter what. Publication does not have to happen within 24 hours. It may take years or generations later. Someone will read it.  And consider this, would you rather be heard or read? Or both? Sometimes you even get seen.
