Smith Enterprise Upgrades Battle-Worn Sound Suppressors for Silver Star Recipient in the 82 Airborne



Smith Enterprise, Inc (http://www.smithenterprise.com/) received a phone call from Silver Star recipient 1SG Michael Onstine of the 2-505th PIR (Parachute Infantry Regiment) in June of this year.  He told Smith Enterprise, Inc. that he had in his possession some battle-worn Wind Talker Sound Suppressors (http://www.smithenterprise.com/products11.html) made by Smith Enterprise from 2004 and wondered if there was anything Smith Enterprise could do to help clean them up.  Not only did Smith Enterprise clean them up, but they replaced all of the baffles inside with the new SEI Cone Baffle system as well as replace the coupler, the end cap, and the Vortex flash hider it mounts on.  Smith also gave the suppressors a new paint job to MILSPEC standards.

The only thing remaining on the original Sound Suppressor was the tube itself.  Everything else got replaced.  1SG Onstine and his men were pleased to have the four Sound Suppressor back in mint condition with the latest upgrades.


The Sound Suppressors were originally sent to the 2nd Infantry Division (2 ID) in Korea back in 2004.  At that time the 2 ID ordered a total of 110 M14 Wind Talker Sound Suppressors along with 110 of Smith’s M14 Crazy Horse (http://www.smithenterprise.com/products02.html) upgrade kit which consisted of Smith Vortex Flash Hiders (http://www.smithenterprise.com/products06.05.html), mounts, rails, bipods, scope rings, gas lock front sites, upgraded heat treated barrels, extended bolt stop, and a long list of other parts.  Right after the upgraded Crazy Horse rifles arrived in Korea, the 2 ID deployed to Iraq.  Those suppressors stayed in Iraq transferring from unit to unit until the 2-505th PIR redeployed this past year.  That is when Smith got the call from 1SG Onstine with the 2-505th.


The 2-505th PIR is part of the elite 82nd Airborne Division out of Fort Bragg, NC.  The 82nd Airborne is one of the main light infantry divisions in the US Army with an ongoing mission to rapidly deploy anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice.  The 82nd Airborne also conducts rotations overseas as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  It was during one of these rotations where 1SG Onstine received the Silver Star.  1SG Onstine received the Silver Star for valor during Operation RUSTUM as part of Operation IRAQ FREEDOM near Baghdad, Iraq in 2007.  1SG Onstine braved through multiple fire fights while severely wounded ensuring his men got out safely before he allowed himself to be evacuated.  He also acted bravely and selflessly multiple times to ensure his platoon escaped against overwhelming enemy numbers.  You can read more about 1SG Onstine here at MilitaryTimes.com.


When Ron Smith, President of Smith Enterprise (https://www.facebook.com/RonSmithUSA) was asked about this he stated, “This is a no brainer.  For what 1SG Onstine did for his men and this country, the LEAST we could do was get their suppressors upgraded for them.  These Sound Suppressors they have are quite the find.  Imagine how many battles they went through over the last 9 years?  There must have easily been tens of thousands of rounds fire through them and many of fine fighting men must have taken these suppressors on and off their rifles over the years.  They were in as good a shape as when we first sent them off, just needed to have the carbon cleaned off.  We wanted 1SG and his men to have our new light weight coupler, our new baffles, our new end cap, and our new Vortex.  We want these heroes to have the best we have to offer them.”


Smith Enterprise currently sells the Wind Talker Sound Suppressor to both the military and civilian markets.  Smith Enterprise also sells the Vortex Flash Hider, the Good Iron Muzzle Brake (http://www.smithenterprise.com/products07.html), M14 Accessories (http://www.smithenterprise.com/products03.01.html), AR15 Wrench (http://www.smithenterprise.com/products12.html), and several other weapon accessories and upgrades.

TEC ® products help design COBA cocina restaurant



COBA cocina restaurant in Lexington, KY, Interior and exterior contains more than 60,000 square feet of glass, porcelain and ceramic tile, all installed power grout and IsoLight ™ mortar with TEC ®. The design of the COBA cocina was inspired by cenotes, a miracle of nature, found most commonly in the Yucatan Peninsula, where land has eroded over the centuries to create a mystical underwater world. At the heart of the restaurant is an aquarium, which is the largest private collection of moon jellyfish of the world.


The project team decided that the limestone bedrock and underwater atmosphere the best material to simulate a variety of tiles would be. To achieve this complex look the team turned products due to its wide variety of options and ultimate performance immediately to TEC.


"There was really no other choice, if it to choose which products to use,", said Todd Ott, AIA, associate at CMW, Inc., architect for the project. "IsoLight ™ and makes joints we did everything, what, for all domestic and tile applications needed during the project through a single source." The products we could see what we, envision with peak performance."


TEC power joint ultimate performance floor saw mortar was used for all tile applications on COBA cocina. It offers permanent stain resistance, crack resistance, efflorescence resistance and superior color uniformity. Power grout is available in 32 color options, which correspond to the latest design trends – yet another advantage for the COBA cocina design and project team.


"A work of art is the design of the floor and the walls at COBA," said Ott. "The numerous colour options joints makes allows us to choose colors from a variety of grout to our creative design fit."


Including Iridized, Aqua, on floors and walls, a sense of underwater movement experience restaurant patrons, ceramic and glass tiles of different sizes and colors, black, green, gold, and silver.


TEC ® IsoLight ™ is a mortar used to set all of the tile. IsoLight is easy the tile by up to 1/8 "substrate cracking from movement in the plane horizontal substrate protects. It contains recycled materials to allow the wonderful handling and user friendliness.  In addition, IsoLight can be applied on many substrates, an extra bonus for the installer of the project of COBA cocina.


"The mortar was applied on different substrate surfaces and with a variety of tiles materials, used," said Donnie may, President of the Mai contracting, which served as an installer to the project. "Without products while installing change time saved and to concentrate the complicated details of this installation allows us."


The exterior of the restaurant is covered solid porcelain tile, it gives a travertine look. The large size-12 "x 24" tile with the same TEC products such as the Interior sets. IsoLight and makes joints are ideal for outdoor installations.


"I can always turn TEC products of a project to achieve the desired result", Donnie Mai said. "COBA is another example of the aesthetic and functional results, which have to offer TEC products."


COBA cocina was completed in the spring of 2013. The project team consists of architects CMW, Inc., Lexington, KY, tile Installer can contracting, Lexington KY and Louisville distributor brick, Lexington, KY.

Top Southampton Working Environment



One of the UK’s leading Mechanical and Electrical Companies, Working Environments have had their Southampton head office extended and refurbished by principal contractor Hampshire Mezzanine Floors to accommodate their growth and expansion plans.

Working Environments, who have been operating since 1974 are part of the Environmental and Process Engineering Group, are highly regarded as one of the UK’s leading companies in their industry.


Working Environments asked HMF to be the Principal Contractor for the project, in which HMF created additional floor area within Working Environments’ existing buildings by installing four mezzanine floors. The addition of these mezzanine floors allowed for additional offices, staff break out areas, meeting rooms, storage and an auditorium to be built. Additional welfare facilities were also provided, incorporating cubicle systems and full glazed vanity units.


HMF worked closely with Working Environment’s own mechanical and electrical team to carry out the works in a phased operation to ensure that their staff were still able to safely operate within the premises and also to minimise disruption to the business.


As part of the £750,000 project, the entire building was re-decorated and full height glazed partitioning and suspended ceilings added to form the additional facilities. This was complimented by the latest LED lighting and air conditioning systems provided by Working Environments.


The result was a top working environment for their staff and visitors who can now enjoy working in pleasant surroundings. This is not the first time that Working Environments have worked with Hampshire Mezzanine Floors, with HMF previously installing a mezzanine floor for them, creating five additional meeting rooms, breakout area, a boardroom and kitchen facility.


Hampshire Mezzanine Floors have been fitting out existing buildings as principal contractors across the UK and the Channel Islands for over 26 years as design build fit out contractors.

Tram Maintenance Overhead Crane Ensures Safe Productive Lifting at Edinburgh Depot



Chapel-en-le-Frith, High Peak, United Kingdom., July 30, 2013 - (PressReleasePoint) - Street Crane Company, the UK’s largest overhead crane and hoist manufacturer, has supplied a double girder overhead travelling crane to the Edinburgh Gogar tram depot.  The 6.3 tonne crane is vital to maintaining the fleet of 27, seven-section, articulated trams.  The crane will also load and unload the Unimog track maintenance vehicle.

At 42.9 metres long and weighing 56 tonnes, the Edinburgh trams are the largest and most technically sophisticated operating in the UK.  Low floor access, just 300mm above the rail, has required the positioning of auxiliary equipment within the roof of the vehicle.  The crane is essential for access and maintenance to service the pods on the roof containing air-conditioning and other key electrical equipment as well as the pantographs that supply electrical power.


With a 5.5 metre height of lift, the 19 metres span crane services three tracks and runs almost the full length of the building to give maximum flexibility in lifting and moving materials.  To allow engineers easy access to the vehicle roof, raised access platforms are installed at the eastern end of the building with covered pits for working on the undercarriage.  In the floor in the western end of the building, fixed jacks allow carriage bodies to be lifted from the tram bogies.


Large amounts of earth were excavated from the site to ensure that the depot building would sit lower in the landscape and not obstruct the flight path to the adjoining airport.  Installed within a limited height envelope, the crane has a top running carriage to give maximum height of hook lift and for greater safety in transporting of loads.


In addition to servicing the trams, the crane will also be used to load and unload the track engineering vehicle, a specially made Unimog truck that can straddle the track for maintenance and repairs.


Safety and productivity is assured by the  Street Crane (http://www.streetcrane.co.uk) ZX84 wire rope hoist. Technical features in the hoist include positive braking on the primary gear box shaft, overload protection, a fully enclosed permanently lubricated gear box and a rope guide to clamp the rope in position so protecting the rope and barrel from damage by slack roping and uneven rope reeving.    


For flexibility and safety in final positioning, dual speed operation is provided on all crane motions with 40/10 metres per minute in long travel, 20/5 metres per minute in cross travel and 5/1.25 metres per minute for lift.  All crane movements are controlled from a radio remote device so that the operator can stand where there is best visibility and greatest safety.  A conventional pendant control is also provided for back-up crane control.


Overhead cranes from Street are used throughout the rail and rapid transit industry.  Installations have been completed for major train builders such as Bombardier and in maintenance depots such as Alstom in Manchester servicing the West Coast Pendalino fleet.  Overhead cranes provide a flexible answer to material handling, lifting and movement, allowing complete hook access to the whole swept area, but without taking up any floor space or requiring access roadways.

Zassenhaus from Kuchenprofi Berlin 15.7-Inch Dark Stained Beech Pepper Mill



Zassenhaus began in 1867 as an export store supplying small steel goods and hand tools. Then in 1904, the foundation for the future success was laid with the introduction of pepper mills. In 2000 Zassenhaus invented the first continuously adjustable grinding mechanism made from high quality German ceramic. Zassenhaus products are distinctive and unique and solidify our position as the leading supplier of premium spice and coffee mills. A mill is as good as its grinding mechanism as this alone determines how much flavor and aroma is released when the spices are ground.


Zassenhaus patented German ceramic mechanism is for peppercorns, sea salt, spices and dried herbs. Each mill features six different adjustments from rough to fine grind. The classic 15.7-inch tall Berlin Pepper Mill features Zassenhaus' patented CeraPlus(R) German ceramic grinding mechanism that's actually harder than carbon steel. And unlike steel, whose blades corrode and become dull over time, the CeraPlus grinding mechanism is guaranteed for 25 years of flawless service. Simply twist the 6-position bottom dial to adjust the fineness or coarseness of the grind. To fill, simply unscrew the top knob. Lathe-turned from solid beechwood in a dark stained finish.

West control solutions launches new videos to explain important temperature control technology



West control solutions (http://www.west-cs.co.uk/) published a series of informative and explanatory videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nun33W0ByME), the first of its kind to discuss temperature-control technologies.  The videos will specify as an advantage for customers and the most efficient temperature control solutions (http://www.west-cs.com/products/c/process-and-temperature...) to install.

The first video (http://youtu.be/Nun33W0ByME) in the series features Ian Parnell (http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/ian-parnell/6/27b/691), Director of technical support (Europe) under Western control solutions, explaining on/off and proportional control in detail and clearly outlines the differences between the two.


Ian explains where the two types of controls can be used and how proportional controls can be used with devices that only have either activated or can be disabled.  Ian gets even with topics such as systems as one / the process vibration can affect the level of control, and whether the user has to compromise the life expectancy of the components, or the accuracy of the control, if you use this method.


Since both systems forward different considerations, this discussion is useful for anyone who either is type of the control system considering but has not yet a full understanding of the factors involved and the differences between them developed.


No other manufacturer in the control systems industry has so far the audience with a video of its kind which discuss and explain how taxes work systems and their suitability for a viewer application.


The next two videos in the series will include different types of temperature control alarms and look in detail at the alarm function inhibitor. The videos answer important questions and concerns surrounding their respective topics and provide a great resource for the explanation of how the technologies with examples of work practice work.

Workholding in the Lathe (Workshop Practice Series)



The centre-lathe is by far the most versatile machine tool in the workshop, but as soon as you depart from plain turning between centres, the question arises 'how to hold the work'. This book explains the methods and techniques required. A fundamental requirement of lathe operation, for accuracy and safety, is the ability to hold any workpiece securely and, preferably, repeatedly on the machine. While few problems arise with straightforward work on a properly aligned lathe, the variety of jobs undertaken by small workshops and model engineers is bound to give rise to occasions when how to hold work requires consideration. When great accuracy is essential, working methods and lathe set-up are vital for an acceptable result. In this book Tubal Cain discusses in his inimitable, practical style all aspects of the subject with the whys and hows, including basic lathe alignment.

Winning becomes Habit as Planet Canit, LLC. is Presented its 4th AmeriStar Packaging Award



Price and Planet Canit, LLC. received an AmeriStar Award in the Health and Beauty Aids category for their Aquiesse Candle Tin (photo right). The prestigious AmeriStar Package Award Competition prides itself on showcasing the most cutting-edge, innovative packaging produced each year. AmeriStar Judges gave Price and Aquiesse President Michael Horn top marks for innovation, sustainability, protection, economics, performance and marketing.

Aquiesse, a leader in the home fragrance industry, offers a premium home fragrance collection with products sold in upscale department stores and specialty boutiques around the world. Horn sought to develop a unique item of beauty at a lower price point while still maintaining the brand’s image and well known product value. Planet Canit, LLC. who has done work for major companies such as De Cecco pasta, Calvin Klein and illy coffee, provided the solution.


“Metal packaging provides a perception of quality, but at Planet Canit, LLC., we take it one step further.  We design tins where the overall product pushes the capacity of metal to its limits creating a unique unforgettable product,” says Price. Proficient in product branding through unique design metal packaging, Price provided the necessary aesthetic and technical expertise to make the production successful.


Planet Canit, LLC. contributed unparalleled tool making ingenuity, a strong knowledge of metal’s inherent capabilities and their patented double-wall construction to the award winning design. The Planet Canit, LLC. and Aquiesse design team considered everything from product protection, shelf impact and consumer convenience for this design.


The design features a double-walled construction;   a seamless interior that effectively contains hot liquid wax and a seamed exterior which allows the metal to be moved into an irregular, embossed pattern of visual texture. Special tin-plate was selected to enhance visual design by creating a deep, metallic finish and glistening appearance.  An embossed company logo and rope pattern of reversed metallic silver further complements the look.


Fragrance and print inks can react when in close contact, so to eliminate this risk, a “plug” cover was created to ensure zero contact.  For extra protection, all text on the interior of the tin is conveyed via a 3-leveled, detailed blind emboss completely eliminating the need for ink.


Not only concerned with product protection and shelf impact, this packaging is designed with the consumer in mind and is practical in use.  The matches needed to light the candle are included with the packaging, housed in a match compartment within the lid of the tin. The lid itself also serves as a pedestal and protects the surfaces on which the candle is placed.


This unique and eye catching vessel has also received praise in other spheres. When launched at its first gift show, it won Best Product in its category. The Aquiesse candle tin was also featured in Beauty Packaging’s December issue in the article Home Fragrances Luxe Treatment.


As an AmeriStar Winner, the Aquiesse Candle Tin qualifies for entry into the WorldStar International Packaging Competition which includes submissions of all forms of packaging from 33 countries.  Price, who won a WorldStar award in 2008, is optimistic about her submission.


Planet Canit, LLC.’s Beyond the Box® tag line couldn’t be more fitting. This company truly goes beyond the box with its cutting-edge, innovative designs and continues to produce award worthy packaging for a variety of industries, including but not limited to confections, health and beauty, fragrance, tea and coffee, bakery, entertainment, apparel and gifts.


About Planet Canit, LLC.
Planet Canit, LLC. is the marketing solutions company that helps maverick marketers differentiate their products from the pack to drive exponential sales growth.

Zassenhaus from Kuchenprofi Berlin 9.4-Inch Dark Stained Beech Pepper Mill



Zassenhaus began in 1867 as an export store supplying small steel goods and hand tools. Then in 1904, the foundation for the future success was laid with the introduction of pepper mills. In 2000 Zassenhaus invented the first continuously adjustable grinding mechanism made from high quality German ceramic. Zassenhaus products are distinctive and unique and solidify our position as the leading supplier of premium spice and coffee mills. A mill is as good as its grinding mechanism as this alone determines how much flavor and aroma is released when the spices are ground.


Zassenhaus patented German ceramic mechanism is for peppercorns, sea salt, spices and dried herbs. Each mill features six different adjustments from rough to fine grind. The classic 9.4-inch tall Berlin Salt Mill features Zassenhaus' patented CeraPlus(R) German ceramic grinding mechanism that's actually harder than carbon steel. And unlike steel, whose blades corrode from exposure to salt and become dull over time, the CeraPlus grinding mechanism is guaranteed for 25 years of flawless service. Simply twist the 6-position bottom dial to adjust the fineness or coarseness of the grind. To fill, simply unscrew the top knob. Lathe-turned from solid beechwood in a dark stained finish.
