![]() ![]() Typical Katamari Damacy stuff, but it’s great. “Houston” by KIRINJI also sports the same kind of sound with some light male vocals. “Katamaresort” features vocals from Saigenji, and is a nice bossa nova tune with some chippy accents in the background. ![]() Oohashi’s voice quickly dances around with the melody, and I love the rhythmic variation on the “Naaa, na-na-na-na-na-na-na!” It’s a whole lot of fun, and you can’t help but sing along. When it finally bursts forth, Takuya Oohashi of Sukima Switch belts out an amazing upbeat (and classy) arrangement of the Katamari theme. With that, the buildup in “Katamari on the Wings” lets you know you’re in for something special. It’s mellow, and it gets your mind back into the Katamari universe with the insanely catchy melody that we all know and love. The opening track, “Katamari on the Rhodes” is a nice little prelude, coming in as a subdued solo piano arrangement of the classic Katamari theme. In any case, it’s quite an adventure, spanning all kinds of different genres and styles, and is sure to leave you with some new memorable moments. Almost all of the arrangements here do something drastically different, so don’t come in looking for something straightforward. More about the game’s music in our review of the Katamari Damacy Trbiute Original Soundtrack after the jump.Īs any album comprised mostly of remixes, you’re bound to find tracks that you like and others that don’t really fit in with your fond memories of the original source material. ![]() I admit I’m pretty ticked that they left out “Katamari Holiday” from the gingerbread house level from We Love Katamari, but at least they got the rest of my favorites. You’re either going to love them or hate them, but it’s definitely an interesting concept, and I found myself pretty satisfied with the album when all was said and done. What’s really interesting, however, is that this album is comprised mostly of remixes of older Katamari Damacy tunes. It’s really an impressive collection of music that lives up to the Katamari musical tradition in terms of both quality and weirdness. The Katamari Forever Original Soundtrack (or Katamari Damacy Tribute in Japan) features a wide variety of talent from Japan, including YMCK, arranger Kimitaka Matsumae, a high school marching band, and series staple Shigeru Matsuzaki (who sings the best song on the album, by the way). But I don’t want to give her all the attention. ![]() ![]() Prehistoric artifacts from South America and Spain have indicated that psychedelic mushrooms were being harvested in indigenous communities for cultural and spiritual rituals dating as far back as 7000 BCE (Samorini, 1992). The primary identifying difference is the slimy cap of the Semilanceata, whereas the Psathyrella exhibits a silky film on its cap.Īnother pertinent note regarding Semilanceata is that Laboratory tests have shown it to suppress the growth of the soil-borne water mold Phytophthora cinnamomi, a virulent plant pathogen that causes the disease root rot.Who needs a trip to Vegas when you can have a wild and adventurous time foraging for magic mushrooms? While discovering potentially psychoactive fungi may be exciting, being certain in your identification is crucial. One danger of attempting to consume hallucinogenic or other wild mushrooms, and why it should be left to experienced mycologists, is the possibility of misidentification with toxic species. Liberty caps are easily misidentified for the poisonous Psathyrella species. Some of these countries include Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Chile, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, India, and Pakistan. It is considered the most widespread psilocybin mushroom. Semilanceata are found growing in numerous countries on varied continents. These environments are spread plentifully across the globe, meaning that P. Psilocybe semilanceata fruits solitarily or in groups in rich and acidic soil, typically in grasslands, such as meadows, pastures, or lawns. It is often found in pastures that have been fertilized with sheep or cow dung, although it does not typically grow directly on the dung. Psilocybe Semilanceata have a farinaceous (similar to freshly ground flour) odor and taste. Spore print is an ellipsoid measuring 12-14 x 7-8 micrometers. Spores are deposited as a dark gray and transform to purple-brown with a lighter edge when fully mature. Its surface is smooth and silky, coloration is frequently pale, becoming discoloured brown or tan near the base, which also commonly has blue tinged mycelium attached. Stipe (stem/stalk) is generally between 40-100mm long and 0.75-3mm thick, flexible, mostly cylindrical and pliable. Lamella (gills) are narrow and moderately spaced underneath the cap, their color is pallid early in the fruiting period, but quickly becomes brownish and by maturity is a purplish brown, often with the edges remaining pallid. When fresh coloration is chestnut brown to pale brown, fading to light yellowish-white-tan when dry. Caps vary in shape from sharply conical to bell or spear shaped with translucent striated margins. Comparative to other psilocybe species the pileus does not change shape considerably as it ages, however is more hygrophanous. Pileus (caps) range from 5–25 mm in diameter and 6–22 mm tall. This veil leaves an annular zone on the stipe that may be darkened by spores. The underside of the pileus is densely gilled, and they possess a thin gelatinous veil (pellicle) separating the pileus and stipe. They turn a bluish color when handled or bruised, due to the oxidization of psilocin. Like all mushrooms of the Psilocybe genus, they have a hygrophanous nature, meaning their coloration shifts depending on hydration levels. Psilocybe Semilanceata is on average the smallest of the 4 prominent Psilocybe species, and one of the most potent. Results from testing done by Stamets and Gartz in 1997 place it as the third most potent Psilocybe species. Semilanceata grows in a much more diverse range of environments than most of its relatives in the Psilocybe genus, allowing it to spread prolifically from its speculated original habitat in Europe to nearly every continent. In the early 1950's it was the first European species confirmed to contain psilocybin. In current times, it is more commonly known as "Liberty Cap". Semilanceata intoxication dates back to 1799 in London, when a family prepared a meal with mushrooms they found growing in London's Thames park. The name is derived from the latin “semi-lanceata” meaning “spear-shaped”. It has a conical or bell-shaped cap throughout its life cycle, dissimilar to most other Psilocybe's whose caps broaden with age. It was first cataloged by Elias Magnus Fries as a garicus semilanceatus in his 1838 publication Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici. It was subsequently transferred to Psilocybe in 1871 when many sub-groupings of a garicus were raised to the level of genus. The P silocybe Semilanceata species is one of the oldest and most commonly recognized Psilocybe mushrooms. ![]() ![]() Galileo passed from geometric optics to instrumental optics by creating a telescope that he pointed toward the sky. Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo read them and were inspired by them As in many other areas, it was a renaissance for science. His books were translated into Latin and circulated throughout Europe. Even more importantly, based on countless experiments, he put forth the laws of reflection and refraction.Īlhazen symbolized Arabic science at its apogee in the Middle Ages, a new science based on observation, experimentation, and measurement. In the year 1000, Alhazen understood how the eye functions and confirmed, contradicting Euclid, that light comes from objects. They inherited ancient knowledge, deepened it, and brought further innovations to it. In their conquest, the Arabs recovered Greek works and translated them. Civilizations disappear, but libraries remain. He believed that the eye sent out rays to strike objects, which allowed them to be seen. ![]() The mathematician Euclid had the brilliant idea to represent it by thin rectilinear threads-luminous rays. For them, light was closely linked to vision. If we go by our cultural references, the Greeks were the first to study it. Each new form of light marked an era: The grease lamp that must be regularly refilled, the candle that drips on one’s fingers, the kerosene lamp, smelly and dangerous Until, around 1900, the arrival of magical electricity, as bright as daylight. These allowed the first artists to go deep within caves. Then came grease lamps, gouged out of soft rock. Fire was his first artificial light, but it was difficult to transport. Man has always wanted to extend his activities past sunset. ![]() The light wave and the photon Audio Transcription From Ancient Greece to the present day, scientists have been studying light to try to penetrate the mysteries of its composition and how to measure it. ![]() ![]() You do not own the product unless the full amount is paid.

He also helped Batman defeat Clayface (" Batman: Shadow of the Bat #75", but only because Batman manipulated him), and also, recently, helped Batgirl to defeat Ra´s Al Ghul´s plans of world destruction. Freeze showed also his good deeds years ago, helping the Flash to solve a crime. Also, his freezing technology defeated Catwoman (in Rome) and a Predator (when Batman used Freeze´s weapon). He also survived to the attack of a Predator ("Batman VS Predator III"). Freeze has defeated during his career Robin (Tim Drake) and Batgirl (the last one). His kingdom was defined as the less brutal, compared with Killer Croc´s occupation. During "No Man´s Land", he took control of Gotham during some weeks. Freeze´s weak point, then, was his helmet, that was broken by Batman, seriously damaging his cryo-suit, and allowing the Dark Knight to catch Fries, who later, fixed it. Freeze's crimes are attempts to try and save Nora's life, although he has also tried to take revenge for his mutation on Ferris. He is not a mass-murderer, like Poison Ivy or the Joker.

Two Face paid him a lot of money and Freeze helped him to escape jail and to kill some mob's bosses. An exception happened during "Dark victory", when he worked with Two-Face. ![]() This explains why he does not like to collaborate with the other Gotham criminals. Freeze´s actions used to have logic and a deep motivation (to collect diamonds to preserve his life and find a way to save his wife). The main difference between Freeze and the other Batman's foes is that he is not a madman like the Joker. Animal Man, taking pity on Freeze, gives him a photograph of his family. Freeze claims that he has been in Limbo so long he has forgotten what a human face looks like. The Silver Age incarnation appears in Comic Book Limbo and is encountered by Animal Man.

Freeze was created by Bob Kane, Sheldon Moldoff and Dave Wood (the last two creators are uncredited). It was adapted from a Harlon Ellison pitch. ![]() A one shot adaptation of the story that was to introduce Two-Face into the 1960s Batman television show came was titled Batman 66: The Lost Episode. Clint Eastwood was to portray Two-Face in the next season. Two-Face was originally slated to be the character but it was thought that he would be "too scary" for kids. Freeze" was thanks to the 1960's Batman television series which popularized the character. To counter this, Fries builds himself a cryo-suit to keep his body temperature below zero (powered by diamonds) and an ice gun. This results in an accident changing Fries so that he can only live in sub-zero temperatures. When Ferris finds out about Fries stealing from him, he and some of his goons try to kill Fries in the cryo lab. In order to save Nora he has to steal equipment from the company he is working for. Fries, as he cannot find a way to cure Nora, finds a way to place her in cryo-stasis. In a desperate attempt to save her life, he begins work at a large corporate company run by the evil and corrupted Ferris Boyle.
