What tradition did the hopi and the anasazi share?
The Hopi were where they are now when the Anasazi were active in the same general area. The Hopi say, and science confirms, that some of there clans came from Anasazi areas. So, the biggest thing they share is that the Hopi are direct descendants of the Anasazi. Because of this they share: pottery traditions, weaving traditions, they both farm corn, beans, and squash and sunflowers and turkeys, and they share home building and kiva building styles. We think the kachina religion arose at the end of the Anasazi era. If so, they share that too. We don't know, because there are no written records, but they may share clan names, origin stories, general theology and cosmology as well.

Why you need staple foods in your diet?
We need a staple such as rice, potatos, or pasta because they supply fibre, and also we need carbohydrates. If we ate nothing but meat, the body would burn much of the valuble protein, rather than store it and use it to build and repair the body.
Breaking down proteins into starches and sugars produces urea and other nasty biproducts, and staples are a ready-to-go fuel.
we don't need staple food:
All staple food can easily be replaced by vegetables, that are richer in fibre and just as well packed with carbohydrates. More over, most vegetables consist of 'slow' carbohydrates, which are better for the human body than the 'quick' carbohydrates present in many types of staple food, like potatoes, white rice, and non-whole grain pasta and weed. Whole grain pasta, whole grain weed and brown rice however, are also released slowly in the body and are just as healthy as vegetables.
That said, staple food is easier to store, since it can be kept for months, even years without deteriorate. It is also cheaper to produce. Quick carb staple is also useful to consume right before or right after high activity sports, because the body needs a lot of energy at once to replenish reserves.
quick (or simple) vs slow (or complex) carbohydrates
Quick carbs are burned fast and release all its energy at once in the human body. Unless you are doing an activity that needs a lot of energy like sports, this excess energy will not be fully consumed by the body, and so parts of it will be stored as fat. Slow carbs on the other hand, are harder to digest and release energy slowly, giving the human body a moderate amount of energy during a longer period of time. More of this energy will be consumed by the body, and thus less of it will be stored as fat.
Because quick carbs are burned fast, they give quicker a hungry feeling than slow carbs. Also, quick carbs are addictive - the quickest carbs of all is sugar - leaving some people over eating themselves easily.

Then after it's dry get a wire brush and scrape the front then joust paint ___________________________OR__________________________ get some wood blocks and mold them into a rough shape of your clift. then simply coner with plaster. AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT to cover the wet plaster with some scrunched up kitchen foil to give a impression (or roll into a ball and dab a phew patches here and there) joust wait for it to fry, peel the foil off, and paint. You an use lots of sheets of polystyrene to build up the side and cover with plaster. ___________________________OR__________________________ Get a brown tile, cover the back of the area that you want to be a clift and simply pot cork bark on the front (i use hornby rock material (R.8070)

I believe the invention of the transistor and the resulting miniaturization of electronics turned into an amazing revolution. Radios became smaller. Computers could become more powerful without overheating problems; communications equipment became much smaller and more efficient -- leading to mobile and then cellular telephones and personal home computers. All of these advances stemmed from replacing the vacuum tube with the transistor.

Why were the cliff dwellers heads flattened?
No one can know for sure the reason for this for this practice among the Anasazi. They did not leave a written record.
We do know it was done by many cultures throughout the world. The earliest evidence of this come from caves in what is now Iraq dated 14,000 years ago. The first written record some from 400 BC in Hippocrates' description. In Europe the Huns, Alans, Gepids, Ostrogoths, Heruli, Rugii and Burgundians flattened heads.
In America, the Choctaw, Chehalis, and Nooksack Indians, Chinook and Lucayan did this.
Most people felt it was attractive or made people look more human. A quote from the Alsea people on the Oregon coast says about flattening:
"The Alsea Indians used to say the unflattened head Coos Indians were 'looking down'."
The mom said if you don't flatten:
"you want to have it looking ugly when she has head like a seal?
" head flattening makes you look upward"
We know that among the Anasazi it wasn't done for the whole period. It started around 700 CE and lasted until 1050.
