Worse, they restricted the effect of porting the intake and exhaust passages of the Chevy heads. Parts store replacement gaskets refused to stay in place during assembly. Porting was tedious, messy hard work but well worth the power improvements needed. A standard modification called for grinding the cast iron cylinder head intake and exhaust passages (called “porting” by hot rodders) to increase airflow and power. Joe and Tom’s cars were powered by highly modified, small-block 283 Chevy V-8’s. After explaining his problem, Joe and his father in-law worked out a solution. Joe and his racing pals were having gasket problems. Joe Hrudka married early, and it happened that his father-in-law was a partner in a Cleveland industrial company, Manufacturers Gasket.

They soon became part of an unofficial group of peers who became known in drag racing lore as “The Ohio Gassers”. The Hrudka’s began with a ’55 Chevy, but soon built a ’40 Willys coupe for C and D/Gas. An ambitious racer could run 4-5 times per week during the brief but busy warm weather season.Īll sorts of drag race vehicles were on hand, but the greatest number of cars were those in the Gas Coupe and Sedan classes. Northern Ohio’s harsh winters and brief warm weather months encouraged not only weekend but weeknight racing. Thompson, Dragway 42, Quaker City, National Trail Raceway and others provided racing opportunities and stiff competition. Their fast-company moved them from early street racing to the drag strip on Ohio’s many area tracks. Raised comfortably but not wealthy, their 1950’s circle of high school friends revolved around modifying and drag racing their cars. Rather than merely tinkering, they were actively and cleverly building and competing with them. The Hrudka brothers’ early years were spent in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio.

Joe and Tom Hrudka went from weekend drag racers in Ohio to Manhattan’s corporate boardrooms and then Wall Street.Īmerican business has many tales of unlikely heroes who became obsessed with a hobby, created a business to support the obsession and through sheer willpower, guided it from a dream into reality. The modest enterprise grew rapidly before becoming an iconic brand in the performance and racing industry. Fellow racers tried their gaskets, then asked to purchase them for their own cars. Encouraged, they set up in a home garage, crudely yet effectively manufacturing these and then other specialty gaskets. The stock gaskets were difficult to install and prone to failure. After identifying the problem they created a remedy for it. The Hrudka brothers saw a need for an item failing on their own cars, in this case, stock replacement exhaust gaskets. These guys were everyday drag racers and typical American teenagers from Cleveland, but their ingenuity and ability to foresee great potential in a racing business would one day propel them to astonishing career heights. Gasket Company, an exception is warranted. For the Hrudka brothers, Joe and Tom, founders of Mr. These stories typically deal with drag racing’s wildly varying personalities rather than with speed equipment businesses.

Discovering he could defeat the enemy by moving at super-speed, he became obsessed with speed, naming himself after Savitar, Hindu for "god of motion", and dedicating his life to unlocking its secrets. As he reached top speed, his plane was struck by what appeared to be lightning, and he went down in hostile territory. Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.A Cold War pilot for a third-world nation, the man who would become known as Savitar was to test a supersonic fighter jet. What do you think happened to Wally West? HR may have some social skills that may come in handy since the synopsis for The Flash Episode 7 suggest that he helps talk down Caitlin. HR is a novelist and doesn’t seem to have much skills in science. Tom Cavanagh’s HR doesn’t seem to be as useful as the previous Harrison Wells from Earth 2. So far, it seems like the negative effects of Barry’s selfish actions are permanent and he may lose Caitlin next episode. We knew that Flashpoint will have serious consequences for Barry and his friends. He will play a detective Tom Patterson, who is dedicated to taking out metahumans who do harm in the city. Greg Grunberg has been cast in a reoccurring role in The Flash Season 3 and will appear in the episode airing next week.

Killer Frost goes on a rampage looking for Dr. “Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) uses her powers to save Barry (Grant Gustin) but as her mother predicted, the effort unleashes her inner Killer Frost. In the next episode, the synopsis per ScreenRant, reveals that Caitlin uses her powers to save Barry from one of the villains and consequently, Caitlin or Killer Frost is totally out of control. While her mother couldn’t do much to help her, she warned her daughter that using her powers will essentially make her more evil. The promo features Barry and the crew trying to stop Caitlin from turning into Killer Frost, but it is yet to be determined whether they have any success with it.Ĭaitlin went to her mother to figure out how to get rid of her powers. Cisco Ramon has already “vibed” the future, and we know that Caitlin is going to struggle with her powers. The Flash Season 3, Episode 7 will focus on Killer Frost as Caitlin turns evil. Some fans suspect that Wally West will turn into a villain for some part of the season while he is under Alchemy’s control. We last saw Wally transform into some form of extraterrestrial cocoon after touching Alchemy’s amulet. What happened to Wally West? He seemed to be under Alchemy’s control or his desire to have powers has overtaken his common sense. TWO DAYS until episode 2 expires!

He is also so fast that only Barry could see him as his ran through Joe’s men. In The Flash Season 3 Episode 6, Savitar looks more like one of Megatron’s minions, rather than a speedster. Savitar looks very different from his appearance in the comics, where he has long black hair and a muscular frame. Savitar is clearly the boss and Barry is going to have to recruit more help to defeat this speedster. However, it is not clear what dynamic the two villains have with each other. #KillerFrost is back! Watch the sneak peek from next week's ep now: /U48nLW1fECĪlchemy is clearly working with Savitar. Savitar can steal speed or grant it, which may be a problem for Barry and a good thing for Wally West, who spent most of the episode fantasizing about having the powers he had in Flashpoint where he is Kid Flash. Savitar tells a stunned Barry Allen that he is the “god of speed” and that may not be a stretch. In The Flash Season 3, Episode 6, Savitar introduces himself in style, his speed is clearly on a whole different level to Barry and his other speedster foes. The Flash has had multiple speedster villains but it seems like Savitar is in a league of his own. It’s what I use for all my digital contracts, invoices, and payments. In some ways, Inly feels like a secret weapon for my wedding photography business. When I started writing this, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to include this web app on the list. Time Out is free, some extra features are unlocked by making a donation to the developer. For example, if you charge by the hour for photo retouching, Time Out can show you how much time was spent working in Adobe Photoshop. This makes Time Out useful for billing hourly projects. Time Out looks at how long you’ve spent in different apps, and breaks it all down for you in a timeline. The app also has an activity tracker built-in, which is great for tracking how long you’ve been working on your computer. If I’m in the middle of something when it’s time for a break, I can easily postpone the break for 5, 10 or 60 minutes to avoid breaking out of flow. This reminds me to stand up, take a short break, and relax my eyes to prevent digital eye strain at least once an hour during my workday. I have mine set so that every hour, my computer screen dims to black, and a message saying “TAKE A BREAK” appears on the screen for two minutes. Time Out lets you set reminders for yourself to take a break. Time Out is a Mac program that seems simple, but has some incredible functionality. Noizio is available on the Apple Store as a Mac and iPhone app: ( ) I also use Noizio when I fly out of state to shoot an engagement session or destination wedding, and prefer a relaxing mix of Sea Waves, and October Rain during the flight to clear my mind and relax. I often play a mixture of Paris Cafe, Birds in Park, and Campfire sounds when I need a productive mix for writing, reading, and editing photos. There’s an impressive library of sounds built into the app, with 40 sounds available. I’ve used it for a few years, both as a productivity tool and as a relaxation tool. Noizio is an app that allows you to blend different ambient sounds into the perfect mix for your mood. This slight distraction from ambient noises increases processing difficulty, which promotes abstract processing, which subsequently leads to higher creativity. Essentially, certain noisy environments, like a coffee shop or an oceanside beach, can help the brain think more creatively by forcing your brain to be slightly distracted. In 2012, the University of Chicago published a peer-reviewed study suggesting that there’s a link between moderate ambient noise and creative cognition.

Dispatch reached back to 1997 with the fan-favorite sing-along “Bang Bang.” At one point they incorporated a bit of the Dead’s “Friend of the Devil” into the hip-hoppy jam.
