According to a new theory, The Flash season 8’s serial killer mystery is about to grant Arrowverse fans their oldest villain wish by turning Eddie Thawne into a DC Comics villain. Going all the way back to season 1 when Rick Cosnett’s character was still alive, there were theories that he would evolve into Cobalt Blue, one of many powerful villains in Barry Allen’s rogues’ gallery. Even after Eddie’s death in the finale, speculation persisted that The Flash would eventually find a way to move in this direction. If the latest Cobalt Blue theory is true, the character could be linked to Central City’s newest threat. The Flash season 8, episode 8, titled “The Fire Next Time”, saw Barry try to solve two murders in an effort to exonerate the Hotness. In the end, he was able… Source link

Still feeling sick to my stomach, I strapped on my skis and boarded the Solaise Express gondola with Ed. The sun was shining, the snow glittering and Val d’Isère positively fizzing with springtime energy. As we gained altitude and the mountains started to reveal themselves in their full glory, I received a message from Clare with a photograph of a slumbering Amalia and my nausea abated. By the time we had skied a couple of runs, I started to gulp down deep breaths of crisp air as the mountains peeled back layer upon layer of parental worries and mental load. Ed pointed out that this was the first time in nearly a year that the two of us were alone together and doing something other than sleeping, working or doing housework. I’m fortunate to have a husband who shows remarkable… Source link

Phillip Noyce’s “The Saint” (1997) begins with an opening scene so dreadful, it’s (to use the film’s favorite word) a “miracle” that it eventually does improve itself. We meet a little boy in an orphanage, who defies his abusive guardians, declares his name to be Simon Templar and commits an act of rebellion that leads to tragedy. This Dickensian start, both off-putting and cutesy, like a music-free adaptation of “Oliver!,” gets this off to a rotten start. The film finds its way once lead Val Kilmer takes over the lead as Templar and carries the film. In a similar way, this TV show adaptation provided Kilmer with an opportunity for career course correction. “Batman Forever” (1995) was the biggest hit of its year and a commercial breakthrough for Kilmer,… Source link

In the dead of winter, a place like Stowe, Vt., is traditionally hell for electric vehicles. Frigid temperatures dramatically slow down a battery’s internal chemical reaction necessary for performance, and, as a result, both power and range take a beating. Yet here I am, blasting down a Green Mountain State trail in February, full send, on a Taiga—the world’s first all-electric production snowmobile. Named after the moniker for subarctic conifer forests, the Taiga offers plenty of output and little range anxiety. Has Taiga made some breakthrough in battery technology to make this possible? Is it cold fusion? Black magic? Nope. It’s all just owed to a few sled-enthusiasts with a novel engineering solution. The all-electric Taiga Nomad snowmobile.

Because of a casting report, the Arrowverse may have already spoiled a big twist with The Flash season 8’s new metahuman serial killer mystery. Warning: Spoilers for The Flash season 8, episode 8 The Arrowverse may have spoiled the identity of The Flash’s mysterious serial killer. The Flash season 8, episode 8, titled “The Fire Next Time” kicked off a new arc that appears to be focused on a new metahuman threat that’s emerged in Central City. Right now, Team Flash has no idea who they’re up against or what they want. For most of the episode, Team Flash and the police acted under the false assumption that the Hotness, a one-time villain from The Flash season 4, was the killer they were looking for. He had a motive for both… Source link

GARY HANINGTON Back in 2009 I started an article on the Polywater fiasco but never really got around to finishing it. Now that Russia is in the news these days, I pulled up the old file and thought maybe it’s time to detail the story of bad science running amok. Consider it, if you will, along with the likes of the Cardiff Giant, N-Rays, and powering our homes with cold fusion; the entire episode can be condensed to a great example of “the science of things that ain’t so” and it goes something like this: In 1961, the Soviet physicist Nikolai Fedyakin was employed at the Technological Institute of Kostroma, Russia, an old city on the Volga River 200 miles northeast of Moscow. While thousands of Soviet scientists were busy working on the… Source link

After three decades in Tribune management, I have a hot story to follow … literally. (Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Tim Fitzpatrick.   | March 21, 2022, 3:31 p.m. This story is part of The Salt Lake Tribune’s ongoing commitment to identify solutions to Utah’s biggest challenges through the work of the Innovation Lab. [Subscribe to our newsletter here] It’s not too late. That’s the hope. It’s actually two hopes. The first hope is that it’s not too late for an old Tribune hand like me to go back to reporting and writing the news. The second is that there is still time to keep the planet from overheating. After 31 years as one of the big cheeses in The Tribune newsroom, I have left management to return to a reporting gig. I am going to cover renewable energy and… Source link
