Crime On The Rise In Nassau County: Report
If you live in Nassau County, you are more likely now than you were this time last year to be burglarized.Recently released crime statistics show burglaries are up countywide.
"This might be a blib," said East Meadow resident James Pollack.
According to 2012 crime numbers, burglaries are up 69 percent compared to the first six weeks of 2011.
If you look specifically at home burglaries, cops said they are up 111 percent. Statistics show trouble spots are East Meadow, Levittown, Plainview, Jericho and Bethpage.
"They are burglarizing homes for jewelry to get cash it's scary," said one Nassau county parent.
Retired NYPD Detective, Wally Zeins, said the numbers do not always paint an accurate picture. He said the mild winter could being playing role in the rising numbers.
"We call snow and rain an extra police officer," he said.
But it should be a wake-up call. While police will do their best to catch the bad guys, you need to keep an eye out.
"Remember to set the alarm, keep the bushes trimmed if leaving for the weekend make sure the mail is picked up," said Zeins.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Auxtero, Edgardo Antiga (1990) Mineralogical and Chemical Properties of Some Acid Sulfate Soils in Malaysia and Their Effects on the Growth Performance of Oil Palm Seedlings (Elaeis Ruineensis, Jacq). PhD thesis, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia.
Acid sulfate soils are charllcterized by a very low pH and a high aluminium concentration resulting from the chemical and biological oxidation of pyrite upon drainage. These soils have low agricultural potential due to high acidity and poor physical conditions, which adversely affect crop growth. Successful reclamation and management of acid sulfate soils would require an in-depth understanding of the soil's chemical and mineralogical properties. In this study, acid sulfate soils at Pulau Lumut, Kelang were mapped, characterized morphologically and chemically,and classified. Soil solutions were extracted on samples from soil pit,limed and oxidized soils and a pot experiment at the matrix suction of 10 kPa and the activities of the major cations and anions were calculated by Geochem. XRD and TGA were carried out to deter mine the mineralogy of the various soil horizons. The morphological features of the minerals in the soils were studied by TEM and SEM. A controlled pot experiment was conducted to assess the performance of oil palm seedlings grown on acid sulfate soils under freely drained and waterlogged conditions.

Viseu (Portuguese pronunciation: [viˈzew]) is both a city (capital of Viseu District) and a municipality in the Dão-Lafões Subregion of Centro Region, Portugal. The municipality population in 2011 was 99,274,[1] in an area of 507.10 km².[2] The city proper had 47,250 inhabitants in 2001.[3] Viseu is the center of the Comunidade Intermunicipal Viseu Dão Lafões with 267,633 inhabitants.
Viseu has undergone a considerable economic growth, especially in the areas of telecommunications, industry, trade and education. Located in Portugal's northern-center the city is a crossroads linking the seaport of Aveiro in the Atlantic coast to Guarda near the Portuguese-Spanish border and then on to Salamanca, Spain. Coimbra, the regional seat of Centro Region, is about 80 km (50 mi) southwest. The city is noted on the arts scene due to the Grão Vasco Museum and the Teatro Viriato. Wine making (Dão wines) is an important activity in the region. In ancient Portuguese history, Viseu is noted as one of the major urban centers in the area where Viriathus, a legendary warrior and national hero, lived. With three higher education institutions within its limits, the city has played a role as a regional educational center. Its business community is among the largest of Portugal's interior countryside.
History and landmarks[edit]
The city name goes back to the end of the Roman Empire and the early Middle Ages where its name is derived from the Roman term "viso", which means a good view. This was in accordance with the place where the original settlement was formed in Roman times, that was its highest point.
Viseu has a statue of Viriathus (? - 139 BC), the Lusitanians' leader who fought the invading Romans for the freedom of Lusitania, made by the Spanish sculptor Mariano Benlliure (1862–1947). In 714 AD Viseu was taken by the Moors who held it for less than a century. The city's fine Romanesque/Gothic cathedral dates from 830 AD. It was captured by Alfonso II of Asturias in 791 but was recaptured by Moors during the Almanzor Offensive. It was finally captured by Ferdinand I of León on expense of the Taifa of Batlabus in 1057.
When Alfonso II of Asturias conquered Viseu a grave was found with the following inscription: 'Hic requiescit Rudericus rex gothorum ' (Here lies Rodrigo gothic king). Rodrigo was the last Visigothic king before the Muslim invasion of Iberia, and he was supposed to have died in the Battle of Guadalete, but his body was never found.
Viseu was the birthplace of one of the greatest Portuguese painters of the sixteenth century, Vasco Fernandes (1475–1540), known as Grão Vasco, who today lends his name to a museum that houses most of his paintings (the Grão Vasco Museum), a hotel, a school, and even a wine label. The museum, installed in the old episcopal palace, shows some of his masterpieces and paintings of other painters of the period known as the School of Viseu.
The city is rich in churches, convents and chapels and has a fine historic quarter (Centro Historico) with narrow cobbled streets, hidden alleyways and intriguing flights of steps. In addition to its important cathedral there are six major churches, four chapels, two convents, and the bishop's palace. There is also a sacred art museum in the cathedral.
Viseu is approximately 50 km (31 mi) East of the Atlantic ocean. Surrounded by a number of mountains - Leomil, Montemuro, Lapa, Arada, Estrela and Caramulo - the tops of which are covered with thick layers of snow in Winter time, the district is crossed by a network of rivers and streamlets.
The city of Viseu has an almost central position in relation to the District lying on the so-called Viseu Plateau (Port. Planalto de Viseu). It is surrounded by a mountainous system constituted to the north by the Leonil, Montemuro, and Lapa hills, to the northeast by the Arado hills, to the south and southeast by the Serra da Estrela and the Lousã hills and to the west by the Caramulo hills.
The Municipality is characterized by an irregular surface with altitudes ranging between 400 and 700 metres. With a rough terrain, it has numerous water courses. These are found in three basins: the Vouga, the Dão and the Paiva.
Situated in a zone of transition, the concelho has several micro-climates. The Serra do Caramulo, located to the west of the city, plays an important role in climatic terms by lessening the influences of the western air masses (although the Mondego River's basin makes the penetration easier). Consequently, Viseu's climate is characterized by the existence of high temperature extremes, with cold and wet winters and hot and dry summers.
Due to migration in the 1960s, Viseu suffered a great decline in its population. After the end of the Portuguese Colonial War (1961–1974), with the return of refugees from the Portuguese African colonies that achieved independence, and resulting economic and demographic growth, starting at the end of the 1970s, the municipality increased its population by about 10 percent, giving it an estimated population of 83,261 people. Afterwards, a stagnation set in, confirmed by the 1991 census which showed a population of 83,601.
The city and the region are famous for its wine (Dão Wine) and the Dão Wine institute, the Solar do Vinho do Dão can be found in the city. There is also an annual agricultural fair, the Feira de São Mateus. Furthermore, Viseu is also known for local handicrafts which include black pottery, bobbin lace, embroidery, and copper and wrought iron articles. With the good connections to major industrial centers and to the ports of Aveiro and Leixões, several industries have been installed in Viseu. Visabeira, a Portugal-based international conglomerate with interests in telecommunications, construction, industry, tourism, real estate and diversified services is headquartered in the city. Viseu also boasts a central hospital (Hospital of São Teotónio), two shopping & cinema complexes (the Fórum (2005) and the Palácio do Gelo (2008)), and numerous hostels and hotels in all categories.
Viseu is the location of the state-run Instituto Politécnico de Viseu which has higher education polytechnic schools of education, technology and management, and agronomy. The city's political and civic groups have been pressuring the national government to upgrade this school into a university, but its desire was never achieved. However, there are 2 private university institutions, the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and the Instituto Piaget. Furthermore, since the Bologna process!, the difference between universities and polytechnics are pointless, with the exception of some degrees like medicine, economics or law, that are only awarded in universities.
There are three secondary education (the Portuguese equivalent of High School) establishments: the Escola Secundária de Viriato, Escola Secundária Alves Martins and Escola Secundária Emídio Navarro.
The city of Viseu has a bus network - STUV - which operates several lines within the entire municipality and a recently installed funicular connecting the lower city with the upper city. The A25 motorway (former IP5) connects Viseu to the seaport of Aveiro and Guarda and then on to Salamanca in Spain. The IP3 and A24, connecting Coimbra with Chaves on the Spanish border, crosses Viseu from south to north. Until the nineteen eighties Viseu had railway connections with the coast, but these were closed.
Viseu is now one of the largest cities in Europe without a railway connection. Once it was connected to Aveiro (via the Vouga line, a narrow gauge railway), and Santa Comba Dão (on the Dão line, another narrow gauge railway), where it had connection to the Linha da Beira Alta (broad gauge; international). The Dão line closed to passengers in 1988.
The municipality has an airfield - the Aeródromo de Viseu (code VSE) in Lobato, parish of Lordosa, Viseu.
Administratively, the municipality is divided into 25 civil parishes (freguesias):[4]
- Abraveses
- Barreiros e Cepões
- Boa Aldeia, Farminhão e Torredeita
- Bodiosa
- Calde
- Campo

Just a Few ShowersNovember 5th, 2013 at 4:33 pm by Jason Smith under FOX10 Stormtracker Weather

Pleasant Fall Breeze
The high pressure area (1038mb) well to our n'east over Nova Scotia is still creating a significant easterly breeze. High temperatures were in the mid 70's making things pleasant. We have seen a slight increase in humidity, but it still felt nice outside today. Skies have become mostly cloudy, with a few occasional breaks.
Look for lows near 58 degrees tonight. A high risk of rip currents remains along the beaches, though most folks are staying out of the water thanks to the cooler temperatures…
More Clouds Wednesday
The easterly breeze finally weakens on Wednesday. Clouds will continue to track across our skies, as a surface front tracks through Arkansas. Temperatures will be slightly warmer, with upper 70's for daytime highs. Ridging should keep things stable for one more day. No significant rain is expected.
A Few Showers
A weak surface front crosses the area on Thursday morning. Spotty showers are expected ahead of the front Wednesday night. Rain chances are at 40% Wednesday night, and 20% through noon Thursday. Rain totals will be very light. A tenth of an inch is expected, on average.
Drying Out
Temperatures will be cooler behind the front. Highs in the low 70's, lows near 45 for Thursday night and Friday night. A warming trend is expected Sunday – Tuesday with dry conditions. Highs will be in the upper 70's by early next week.

Bolt Technology Posts 47 Pct Drop In 4Q Profit
NORWALK, Conn. (AP) ¿ Bolt Technology Corp., which provides geophyscial equipment for gas and oil exploration, on Wednesday said its fiscal fourth-quarter fell 47 percent on lower sales.
The company said its profit sank to $2.2 million, or 25 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30 from $4.1 million, or 43 cents per share, a year ago.
Sales dropped to $11.1 million from $14.9 million a year ago.
Bolt Technology said the decrease in revenue was due to a decline in the price of oil and the global economic slowdown, which slowed demand for marine seismic exploration.For the full fiscal year, net income fell to $10.5 million, or $1.22 per share, down from $14.6 million, or $1.70 per share, a year ago. Sales fell to $48.9 million from $61.6 million a year earlier. Bolt Technology shares fell 49 cents, or 3.7 percent, to $12.81 in morning trading.

About Lambert Hitchcock
Lambert Hitchcock was born in Cheshire, Conn., in June 1795. The son of a Revolutionary soldier, Hitchcock was forced into bankruptcy in 1829, when his business was transferred to trustees. However, Lambert Hitchcock continued to have a prominent role in the business after this development.
The original price of a Hitchcock chair was $1.50. Much has changed over the years. There are now many collectors of Hitchcock chairs and they are a much desired antique item. Depending on the condition and age of the chair, an original can fetch upward of several hundred dollars or more.

Let there be light: In the name of the presence of God, which I Am, through the magnetic power of the sacred fire vested in me, I command.
I call to Jesus the remover of obstacles to go forth and remove all obstacles in our path to Divine Creation. I call to Jesus and Michael the Archangel to go forth and destroy all evil in our path or in the path of our creation.
We call to the Divine Creator to allow us to activate Quantum Leaping the World into the Golden Age. We call to the higher selves of all the light workers on the planet and ask for permission to allow and activate Quantum Leaping the world into the Golden Age. We ask that their integration be gentle loving, kind and joyful going all the way down into everyone's DNA.
We call to all life forms on earth and the mother earth herself to awaken and allow the activation and forward movement of Quantum Leaping the world into the Golden Age. We call to the higher selves of all light workers, past, present and future lives to allow us to activate and put into forward motion Quantum Leaping the world into the Golden Age. I ask their higher selves to help them remember all the joyful lifetimes they lived in Divine peace being connected and in harmony with all life forms and the Creator. Becoming fully awakened spiritual beings.
We call to all rocks; stones; Angelite; crystals and all the earth keeper crystals above and below the earth to now awaken reconnect themselves back to the Divine and start to vibrate to the higher frequency of the Divine. Raising the energy and vibration of everything that is connected to the earth to the frequency of the Divine Creator. Let this shift and integration be gentle loving and kind for all forms of life human and elemental.
We call upon the Creator of the Universe and ask for the permission to raise and activate the frequencies of all zodiac planetary systems with the Earth's Golden Leap; ask for the permission to raise and activate the frequencies of all life forms, seen and unseen, in those zodiac planetary systems in order for them to focus back into their higher selves and over souls; terminate all galactic battles and leave the galaxy in forever peace and bliss; ask for the permission to raise and activate the frequencies of all stars and planets, seen and unseen, known and unknown, existed in the past, existing at present and to be existed in the future, in our milky way and all other galaxies to evolve in a peace, harmony and blissful way. Let all lives, seen and unseen, known and unknown, evolve with the Creator's blessing and without consumption of materials and feelings of lack, without fear, ignorance nor curiosity, let knowingness and mindfulness be with each and every consciousness, personality fragments, higher selves, over souls, avatars, masters, guides and angels, all return to the Light now!
We give the angels permission to help all souls and life forms become more connected to the Divine. See humans, elementals and angels working together taking care of the mother earth and all life forms.

Beriscope: underwater sightseeing without getting wet
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - 4:14pm
Designer Jaewon Choi's "Beriscope" is an interesting blend of aquatic technology. It's a fishing rod that isn't for catching the critters, but instead for viewing them without ever having to enter the water yourself. Instead, you cast a camera out into the water and then use the Beriscope like a periscope, watching from the shore. It's just a concept, but it seems like it'd be a pretty good way to kill some time by a lake or river.
Check out more of the Beriscope in the gallery below.

Did the Aztecs really practice human sacrifice?
Jon Hageman, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Northeastern Illinois University, discusses whether the Aztec performed human sacrifice. This World Book Encyclopedia Explains video discusses Aztec culture and civilization.
Aztec were an American Indian people who ruled a mighty empire in Mexico during the 1400's and early 1500's. The Aztec had one of the most advanced civilizations in the Americas. They built cities as large and complex as any in Europe at that time. They also practiced a remarkable religion that affected every part of their lives. To worship their gods, the Aztec developed a sophisticated ritual system, built towering temples, and created huge sculptures. They held impressive religious ceremonies featuring dancing, musical performances, and the bloody sacrifices of animals and human beings.
The name Aztec is also commonly applied to the people who founded the city of Tenochtitlan «tay nohch TEE tlahn». It stood on the site of present-day Mexico City and, according to legend, was established in 1325. Its people referred to themselves by the names Colhua-Mexica, Mexica, and Tenochca. In the 1400's, the city and its allies conquered many groups in central and southern Mexico, forming the Aztec Empire. Tenochtitlan became the capital. The empire was destroyed by the Spaniards, who conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521. But the Aztec left a lasting mark on Mexican culture. Aztec also refers to this larger group of Indians who made up the empire. This article uses Aztec in that sense.
The Aztec Empire
The center of Aztec civilization was the Valley of Mexico, a huge, oval basin about 7,500 feet (2,300 meters) above sea level. Although the valley was in the tropics, its high altitude gave it a mild climate. The surrounding lowlands had a hotter, wetter climate.
The Aztec Empire included as many as 20 million people in about 400 cities and towns. Most were concentrated in the Valley of Mexico, but the empire extended well beyond that. The largest city was the capital, Tenochtitlan, which occupied an island in Lake Texcoco. Causeways (raised earthen roads) linked the city to the mainland. On a nearby island to the north stood the city of Tlatelolco, a commercial center. Both Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco lay within the borders of what is now Mexico City. Present-day Mexico City covers much of the bed of Lake Texcoco, which was drained during the 1600's. In 1473, warriors of Tenochtitlan conquered Tlatelolco and united the two cities. When the Spaniards arrived in the 1500's, Tenochtitlan may have had a population of about 200,000 people. The Spaniards were astonished by its complexity and richness when they first saw it. No Spanish city had so many people. They compared it to Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and other great European cities.
The emperor of the Aztec was called the huey tlatoani (great speaker). A council of high-ranking nobles chose him from the members of the royal family. The emperor, who was considered to have both human and supernatural abilities, had immense political power. However, he had to consult the council of nobles when making important decisions. Military units were stationed in key locations throughout the empire to keep it secure. Most of these units were commanded by a great noble, who often also served as governor of the territory. An elaborate system of government offices administered the affairs of the empire. Many of the top positions were hereditary, but service to the emperor was another way for a person to obtain high office.
Aztec society had four main classes: (1) nobles, (2) commoners, (3) serfs, and (4) slaves. Among nobles and commoners, closely related families belonged to groups called calpollis. The members of a calpolli owned an area of land in common, and each family was allowed to farm a plot large enough for its needs. In addition to their calpolli land, most nobles had their own private land or received government land for use during their term in public office. Commoners made up the majority of the population, and many made a living by farming their calpolli plots. Serfs worked the land held by nobles and remained on the land when a new noble acquired it. Slaves were considered property, but their children were born free. Many slaves had been captured in war, and the Aztec also purchased slaves from other groups. Other slaves were criminals or people who could not pay their debts.
Way of life
Religion was extremely important in Aztec life. The people devoted much of their time to religious practices, such as praying, singing, dancing, pilgrimages, and offerings. They even waged war largely to obtain prisoners to sacrifice to their gods.
The Aztec worshiped many gods and goddesses, each of whom ruled one or more human activities or aspects of nature. The Aztec economy was based largely on farming, and so the people had many agricultural divinities. They included Centeotl, a corn god; Tlaloc, a rain and fertility god; and Xipe Totec, associated with springtime and regrowth. Other major gods included Tezcatlipoca, an all-powerful divinity; Tonatiuh, the sun god; Mictlantecuhtli, ruler of the dead; and Xiuhtecuhtli, the fire god. Huitzilopochtli, a war god, was the special guardian of the people of Tenochtitlan. Xochiquetzal was a goddess of fertility, weaving and other women's crafts, flowers, and beauty. The god Quetzalcoatl was associated with civilization and learning. However, he sometimes took the form of Ehecatl, god of the wind.
The Aztec held many religious ceremonies. The most important observed planting, harvesting, and other events in the agricultural year. The purpose of many ceremonies was to motivate people to work together to ensure good crops by winning the favor of the gods.
Human and animal sacrifice played a vital role in the ceremonies. The Aztec regarded the human body and all living things as gifts from the gods. They believed that a divine power resided in three parts of the body—the head, the heart, and the liver. The Aztec thought that the gods required a ritual payment in the form of human hearts and blood to remain strong. Human sacrifices were elaborate, dramatic ceremonies designed to magically transform the human victims into living representatives of the gods before they were sacrificed. Often, priests slashed open the chest of a living victim and tore out the heart. Worshippers sometimes ate portions of a victim's body. They may have thought that the dead person's strength and bravery passed to anyone who ate a portion of the flesh. Most victims were prisoners of war or slaves. The Aztec also sacrificed women and occasionally, to the god Tlaloc, children.
Most religious activities took place inside walled ceremonial centers. The chief structures within the centers wereteocallis. A typical teocalli consisted of a wide solid base upon which rose steep stairsteps. Priests climbed the stairs to reach the temple dedicated to a divinity at the top. The ceremonial centers also included royal palaces, gardens, living quarters for priests, sacred pools for ritual cleansing, and racks holding the skulls of sacrificial victims. In addition, many centers had a tlatchli (playing court) for a game called ullamaliztli that resembled a mixture of soccer and basketball. The players tried to hit a rubber ball through a ring with their hips and knees. They could not use their hands or feet.
The Aztec had a 260-day religious calendar. Priests used the calendar to determine lucky days for such activities as sowing crops, building houses, and going to war. The Aztec also had a 365-day solar calendar. It consisted of 18 months of 20 days each plus 5 extra days.
Every 52 years, the Aztec held a great celebration called the Binding of the Years or the New Fire Ceremony. Before the celebration, people throughout the empire let their hearth fires go out and destroyed some of their kitchenware. At the start of the new 52-year cycle, the priests lit a fire on the chest of a sacrificial victim. People pricked themselves to add their blood to the sacrifice. Fire bearers delivered the sacrificial fire to towns and cities throughout the empire. Then the people relit their hearth fires from the new fire and feasted.
Family life. The typical Aztec household consisted of a husband and wife, their unmarried children, and a number of the husband's relatives. All members of this extended family, including the children, helped with the work. The husband's chief responsibility was to support the family, usually by farming or craftwork. The wife's duties included weaving the family's clothing, raising girls in the home, and cooking the family's food.
Boys were educated by their father until about the age of 10. They then attended a school run by their calpolli or—especially if they belonged to the nobility—a school connected with a temple. Calpolli schools provided general education and military training. Temple schools offered a religious education, which prepared boys to become priests or other leaders. Some girls also attended the temple schools, but the majority learned household skills at home. The Aztec married at an early age, women at about 16 and men at about 20.
Food. Many types of corn and squash were staples of the Aztec diet. The principal food was a thin corn-meal pancake called a tlaxcalli. In Spanish, it is called a tortilla. The Aztec used tlaxcallis to scoop up other foods or wrapped them around bits of meat and vegetables to form tacos. Aztec cooking was rich and spicy. Many dishes had sauces flavored with chili peppers.
Hunting and, to a lesser extent, fishing provided animal protein for the Aztec diet. Game animals included deer, rabbits, and such birds as ducks and geese. The only animals raised for meat were dogs and turkeys.
The Aztec used the juice of maguey plants to make an alcoholic beverage called octli. Chocolate drink was also a favorite beverage, but only the wealthy could afford to have it often.
Clothing. Aztec women wore a loose, sleeveless blouse and a wraparound skirt. Men wore a cloth around their hips and a cloak knotted over one shoulder. The poorer people used cloth made from maguey fibers, but richer people had cotton clothing. The amount of decoration on a garment further indicated the wealth and social rank of the wearer. When the Spaniards first arrived in Tenochtitlan, they were amazed by the elaborate and rich clothing of the Aztec nobles.
Shelter. Most houses for Aztec commoners were simple and designed for usefulness rather than beauty. In the highlands, the houses were made of adobe. In the lowlands, they had thatched roofs, and the walls were made of branches or reeds plastered with clay. In addition to the main dwelling, most families had several other buildings, including a storehouse and a small sweat house, where the family took steam baths. Wealthy Aztec families had large adobe or stone houses finely decorated and built around a patio.
Arts and crafts. Aztec sculptures, which decorated temples and other buildings, were among the most elaborate in the Americas. The most famous surviving Aztec sculpture is the large, circular Sun Stone, which represents the Aztec universe. The stone measures about 12 feet (3.7 meters) in diameter. In its center is the face of the sun god Tonatiuh. Other carvings represent the days of the Aztec month and religious symbols related to the sun god. Many archaeologists believe that Aztec priests placed the hearts of human sacrifices on the stone.
The Aztec produced various forms of oral literature, including poetry and traditional accounts of their history. When Spanish priests studied this oral tradition, they were deeply impressed by the elaborate metaphors and prose used by the Aztec speakers.
Music played a major part in religious services. The chief instruments were drums, flutes, and rattles.
Aztec craftworkers used feathers to make cloaks, headdresses, and other garments. Other crafts included metalworking, pottery, weaving, and woodcarving.
Language. The Aztec spoke a language called Nahuatl. It belongs to a large group of Indian languages known as the Aztec-Tanoan or Uto-Aztecan family. This language family also includes the languages spoken by the Comanche, Pima, Shoshone, and other tribes of western North America.
The Aztec used a form of writing called pictographic writing, which consisted mostly of images, pictures, and scenes. Some pictures symbolized ideas. Others stood for the sounds of syllables. For example, the Aztec town of Coatepec was represented by a snake and a hill. The Nahuatl words for snake and hill were coatl and tepetl, which together sounded like Coatepec. This system of writing was not developed enough to provide full expression of ideas, and so the Aztec combined pictorial images with oral explanation or interpretation. They used the pictorial system alone for business records, censuses, and tax lists.
Warfare was considered a religious duty by the Aztec. They fought not only to enlarge their empire but also to take prisoners to sacrifice to the gods. The highest goal for a young man was to be a successful warrior. Men who took many captives in battle were rewarded with land, high social rank, and important government offices. Warriors wore costumes that symbolized their accomplishments and rank.
Aztec methods of combat were designed primarily to capture prisoners rather than to kill. The chief weapon was a wooden club edged with sharp pieces of the volcanic glass obsidian. This weapon, called a macuahuitl, was effective for disabling an opponent without killing him. The Aztec also used bows and arrows and spears. A spear-throwing device called an atlatl increased the range and force of their spears. For protection, warriors carried shields and wore armor of tightly quilted cotton.
Agriculture formed the basis of the Aztec economy. Corn was the most important crop. Farmers also grew avocados, beans, squashes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and many other crops. The lowlands provided such tropical products as cotton, papayas, rubber, and cacao beans, from which chocolate is made.
The basic agricultural tool was a pointed stick for digging. In the densely forested lowlands, farmers practicedslash-and-burn agriculture. They chopped down and burned a section of forest, then planted crops in the clearing. The ashes fertilized the soil. In the highlands, the Aztec cut terraces into the hillsides to increase the amount of level farmland. They also dug irrigation systems to water their crops. In addition, farmers turned areas of shallow lakes into cropland by scooping up mud from the lake bottoms to form islands. These islands were called chinampas. The farmers regularly added fresh mud, which was extremely fertile. As a result, the chinampas yielded huge crops. Lake Xochimilco in Mexico City still has many chinampas. Although they do not float, they are often called floating gardens.
Trade and transportation. The marketplace was a major center of Aztec life. The market at Tlatelolco was the largest in the Americas. It displayed nearly every kind of merchandise available in the Aztec world. The Spanish explorer Hernan Cortés reported that more than 60,000 people visited it daily. There were also many smaller markets throughout the empire. Government officials supervised the trading.
Merchants called pochteca traveled throughout the empire on trading expeditions and also served as spies. The merchants employed many bearers, who marched in long caravans with heavy loads on their backs. People of the lowlands traded such products as cacao beans, cotton, jaguar pelts, rubber, and the feathers of tropical birds. In return, they received goods from the highlands. These goods included obsidian—which was used for knives and weapons—and a variety of manufactured products.
The Aztec had no system of money as we know it. They usually traded goods and services for other goods and services. But the Aztec used cacao beans and other widely acceptable goods somewhat as we use money.
The Aztec used the wheel only in toys, and they had no beasts of burden. As a result, the people themselves carried all their goods on land. Dugout canoes were an important means of transportation in the Valley of Mexico, which had many lakes, canals, and other waterways.
The Aztec migration. According to legend, the ancestors of the Aztec came to the Valley of Mexico from a place in the north called Aztlan or Chicomoztoc (Place of Seven Caves). Their supreme deity inspired them to leave their homeland and travel until they found a new home, which would be marked by an eagle eating a serpent on a blooming cactus. The name Aztec comes from Aztlan. The Aztec wandered for many years before settling in the valley in the 1200's. At first, they were subjects of people who lived in the area. But in 1325, the legend says, they founded their own city, Tenochtitlan.
Middle American Growth of the Aztec Empire. By the early 1400's, Tenochtitlan had become a powerful city that controlled the region around it, forming a city-state. Tenochtitlan joined with Texcoco and Tlacopan, two other city-states in the Valley of Mexico, to form an alliance. Tenochtitlan became the most powerful member of the alliance and began to build the Aztec Empire. Under Montezuma I, who ruled from 1440 to 1469, the alliance conquered large areas to the east and south. Montezuma's name is also spelled Moctezuma or Motecuhzoma. His successors expanded the empire until it extended between what are now Guatemala and the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi. Hundreds of conquered towns paid heavy taxes in goods to the empire. When Montezuma II became emperor in 1502, the Aztec Empire was at the height of its power.
The Spanish conquest. In 1519, the Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés landed on the east coast of Mexico. After several skirmishes and setbacks, he began a march inland to the Aztec capital. He and his troops were eventually joined by many Indians who had been conquered by the Aztec and resented their heavy taxes and brutality. For reasons that are still mysterious, Montezuma II did not oppose the advancing Spaniards with military force. Instead, he tried to use religious magic to discourage them from coming to the capital. Some scholars think he believed Cortés represented the creator god Quetzalcoatl and his Toltec incarnation Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, who had ruled centuries before. An Aztec legend said that Quetzalcoatl had sailed away to the east, the direction from which the Spaniards came. Cortés eventually entered Tenochtitlan and made Montezuma a prisoner in his own palace.
In 1520, the Spaniards massacred Aztec dancers, priests, and musicians at a sacred ceremony. The Aztec rebelled and drove the invaders from their city. Montezuma died that year, probably from wounds received early in the rebellion. Cortés and the Spaniards retreated, but soon reorganized their army and attacked Tenochtitlan in May 1521. Montezuma's successor, Cuauhtémoc, surrendered in August of the same year.
The Aztec heritage. Little Aztec architecture remains. The Spaniards considered it their duty as Christians to wipe out the temples, idols, sacrifices and all other traces of the Aztec religion. They destroyed Tenochtitlan and built Mexico City on the ruins. However, archaeologists have excavated the site of the Great Temple in downtown Mexico City. They have uncovered all four sides of the building and recovered thousands of objects, including jewelry, pottery, statues, wall carvings, and remains of animal and human sacrifices. Archaeologists have restored some other Aztec buildings, including temples at Tenayuca and Tepoztlan near Mexico City. The National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City has a large collection of Aztec art.
Thousands of people in Mexico have Aztec ancestors, and many speak a modern form of Nahuatl. Many Mexican place names, including Acapulco and Mexico itself, come from Nahuatl, as do the English words avocado,chocolate, and tomato. Such Mexican painters as Jose Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Siqueiros have used Aztec themes in their work. Foods of Aztec origin, including chili, chocolate, and tacos, have become popular in many countries. Descendants of the Aztec also live in the United States, especially in California and Texas. Many Mexican Americans take pride in the creative aspects of Aztec culture.

When it became apparent that Peyton Manning would be released by the Colts and become a free agent, the initial estimates for his yearly value were in the neighborhood of $12 million. That seemed appropriate given the situation, but no one was fooled.
We knew that desperation and blind optimism would drive Manning's price up quickly, but we assumed that at least a shred of common sense still existed in league offices, and within the pockets of wealthy men who create other wealthy men by paying them handsomely to win football games.
We'll never make that mistake again. Manning has now been awarded the most lucrative contract in league history.
It's absolutely baffling that a healthy Manning was set to be paid $18 million annually in Indianapolis from a $90 million deal, and now a quarterback who's a year older (36 on Saturday) and is recovering from a severe and unique injury gets $19.2 million per year.
Now, before this meanders down the path of a confused rant/diatribe, let's maintain a bit of clarity and a sense of calm. I know, I'm struggling with it too, but just stay with me.
At this point, there's some vital information missing, and we have no idea how much money Manning will be guaranteed per year. That's crucial, because it was widely expected that the guaranteed money will be kept to a more manageable figure, and money will also be secured through incentives (i.e: Manning must attempt X amount of passes to earn X).
We'll update this post as those details surface, and right now some small puzzle pieces are already coming together. NFL Network's Michael Lombardi is reporting that the years in the deal will be paid at a flat rate, meaning the contract isn't back-end loaded, and Manning will be paid that yearly average of $19.2 million.
That alone is troubling and confusing. The contract is currently structured to keep Manning employed as a Bronco until he's 41 years old, and the chances of that actually happening are minimal. So the wise strategy from a management standpoint would have been to hide money in the back end, which protects the franchise when Manning inevitably walks away early.
Denver reportedly didn't do that, and now they're basing Manning's performance in September on a handful of workout sessions in mid-March, while promising to pay him more annually than he would have made when he was perfectly healthy. Manning will also be paid significantly more than Tom Brady, who's sustained the usual bumps and bruises, but he's still much healthier, and two years younger. Brady's five-year extension signed in September of 2010 will pay him $78.5 million with $48.5 million guaranteed, which works out to $15.7 annually.
Unless the guaranteed money is low and it therefore minimizes Denver's risk, this contract is confusing, and it could become a shining example of overzealousness in free agency gone terribly wrong.

Okay, well, at least another year or so anyway. Rose Byrne got the gossip wheels spinning this week when MTV News quoted her as saying her friends had been auditioning for a long-discussed live-action Star Wars television series. But EW has confirmed with a Lucasfilm rep that a casting agent in Australia is "doing some preliminary ground work, but official casting will not start until the scripts are complete." At the earliest, the series would go into production in 2010, the rep added.
'Star Wars' live-action series...still far, far away
That seems within sight to me.
Nooooo! Lucas you have enough money. You have already drained every last drop of affection we ever had for the original for 30+ years. This is beyond whipping a dead horse, now it's whipping the fossilized remains of a horse that died a million years ago. Find another project to violate.
This is what many of us fans have really been waiting for. Good news! Can not wait to see what Lucas has is store for us next.
Anything less than the writing, directing, and visual FX quality of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA will be disappointing. And please, George, don't go all kid-pandering on this project. PG-13! If we see anything like the antics of Jar Jar or even Episode II's C-3P0, we will tune out REAL quick.
I want an awesome Star Wars Battlefront III game now!!! It has been long enough so it better be awesome. Hopefully Pandemic doesnt screw it up because the Free Radical stuff leaked onto the net looked very promising.
To Hanspoopsfirst, yes I would much rather have a new Battlefront game instead of this live action tv show. I read that Pandemic has denied having Battlefront since it was taken away from the Rebellion development studio. Battlefront III now George Lucas!!! Put it in capable hands please.
I never could have imagined that a fandom would reject the creator of its canon. You won't find Harry Potter fans complaining about J.K. Rowling's marketing tactics, and LOTR fans practically worship Tolkein.
I hope Rose didn't get into any trouble by sharing that tidbit of information. That would stink.
To Rhonda
You dont see JRR Tolkien or JK Rowling poo pooing on their creations like George Lucas has or has allowed.
Wow, this is what many of us die hard fans have really been waiting for. Good news! Can't wait to see what Lucas has is store for us all next.
I'll bet they hire Chris Doohan to be a Jedi
Yeah after Lucas ruined the whole Star Wars thing for me with his crap-fest sequels AND THEN him and Stevie Spielberg did a tag team beat down of Indiana "Geriatric" Jones…I think Georgie Boy should move on from his Cash Cow…After seeing the trailers for the new Star Trek movie, I think that Trek is on it's way to reaching it's full potential and taking the top spot as the ultimate space opera with lots of fun and lots of action…go back to Shady Pines Nursing Home Georgie Boy!!
Talon Kaarde
They really need to make a series based on The Heir to the Empire trilogy. I realize they would need to re-cast Luke, Leia Han etc but I personally would be fine with that if it meant seeing a totally gnarly version of Heir. They already have an awesome story line.
One of the main problems with eps I,II & III (besides being totally crappy and horrible – well, III was pretty good) was they relied way too much on CGI. Bring back the human element of the original trilogy. It makes for much a much better show and, in the case of a TV show, would be way more cost effective.
But…regardless of what they make, its SW which means Ill be watching no matter what.
