20 Questions with John Barbour, Owner, Union Mechanical, Fort Myers, Florida
Originally published: 10.01.12 by Terry Tanker
Publisher Terry Tanker met with John Barbour, owner of Union Mechanical in Fort Myers Florida, to discuss advertising, his company's award winning fleet design, business growth and challenges facing his company in the coming year.
1. Secretly what talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could play an instrument. I have no musical ability whatsoever.
2. How would you finish this sentence? I need a new…?
We just re-designed our offices, everything in here is brand new. We need a new vacuum cleaner now.
3. What is the one thing you wish you would have said yes to?
Twelve years ago, I was invited into a group of contractors being formed to build new homes. I turned them down because I was afraid I lacked enough experience with new construction. I completely missed that bus.
4. How did you get your start in this industry?
My father started an air conditioning business in this area in 1987. I went to work for him when I was 19. He made me go to HVAC school at night for years and then pressed me to get my Contractors License.
5. How large is your company?
I have 10 employees and 9 trucks on the road. We had $1.2 million in sales for 2011. We are on track to have $1.5 million in sales for 2012.
6. So, you're growing even with a slow economy?
Yes, we've been growing an average of 15% per year for the last 3 years. We want to continue that pace for the next few years.
7. What is the most significant challenge facing you in 2013?
Finding quality customers and quality employees. Our customers are the finest people I could hope to service and our employees are handpicked to reflect our desire to put customers first. I've given up a few customers and employees because they were not the right fit.
8. What aspect of running the business do you enjoy the most?
Honestly, I love every bit of this business. I get excited putting together bids; I love to work in the field with my employees and the interaction with customers. If I had to pick one thing it would be knowing that my employees have good jobs in this uncertain economy. I get a lot of personal satisfaction from that.
9. What is your management philosophy?
It might sound cliché but I do not expect my employees to do anything I would not or have not done.
10. Your company won one of the five Tops-In-Trucks awards. How did you develop your design?
I researched designers online for a while. When I saw the work GraphicD-signs was doing, I knew immediately I had to have them create my design. I told them I loved the Timo's Air and Allegiance Air designs. They took it from there and gave me this masterpiece.
11. You've very effectively carried this unique design over to your website. Which one generates more leads for your company?
The wrapped trucks without a doubt.
12. What type of feedback do you hear from customers?
They love the new design of the trucks and our new uniforms with the logo.
13. Your last name is Barbour – did you consider some type of theme with a barbershop pole?
I got over the Barber shop correlation in high school. I'm sure you can imagine how many times I heard "Hey Barbour, where's the barber shop?
14. Did you consider negative repercussions of "union" in your name?
I worried about it from day one. I still worry about it, but I took a chance and it has been great so far. I get more comments about Onion Mechanical than any Union association.
15. How did you determine this was an investment you should move forward with?
I did a lot of reading on the importance of marketing and advertising during a slow economy. I decided I had to set myself apart from the rest of the crowd. I knew I wanted that for my business. The cost was a secondary consideration.
16. Have you been able to determinean ROI?
To date my return is approximately five times myinvestment. We are still riding the wave from our new logo and advertising efforts, by my calculations we'll be over 15 times our original investment.
17. What other forms of advertising and marketing do you invest in?
We have brochures that we mail and hand out to potential customers. We do other coupon mailings and have inserts we add to the invoices we mail out and, of course, our website.
18. What gives your company a unique competitive advantage?
The years we have invested in building a good reputation built on quality work and that gives us the greatest advantage. Word of mouth recommendations combined with our beautiful new advertising materials has been very powerful.
19. Do you have a funny story you can share?
Well….I'm not laughing but it seems everyone else is. One of our box trucks apparently broke down the other day. We spent a few hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the truck. My service manager decided to put some diesel fuel in the tank and it started right up. I think it's time to get the fuel gauge fixed.
20. This was an extremely hot summer, what were some of the challenges you faced in South Florida this year?
We were doubly challenged this summer. We saw a significant increase in business based on our overall advertising, and then the unusually hot weather had our company running at 100%+. Scheduling and prioritizing service calls were probably the biggest challenge and our dispatchers have outperformed all of my expectations. We relied on their depth of experience and they truly came through for us.

Common Sense
Common sense – it's simply knowing the difference between right and wrong. It entails a personal and subjective process of analyzing a situation and finding a solution that works. For most people I think it's their first instinct, the rational thing they would do without giving the situation a thought. Again, I said for most people.

Comments about MERRELL Men's Jungle Moc Trail Shoes:
I was looking for inexpensive men's slippers and couldn't find any. I hesitantly spent a lot more rationalizing that I could get additional uses out of these. That was 12 years ago and hundreds of miles ago. They look old but just won't fall apart.

I saw on my At&T bill that the iphone always deduct 0.02 cents for every internet and email transaction even we are on a wifi net!
Is there a possibility to add a button for turn off the phone signal without stopping the wifi? If I want to be 100 % shure that the iphone does not use the carrier signal I have to take out the SIM card.
The airplane mode stopps also the wifi signal...
Thanks for your feedback

News Author Ben Hewitt Discusses The Town that Food Saved at Marlboro College, August 31
Marlboro, VT -- (August 24, 2010) --Marlboro College will kick off its Fall 2010 schedule of events by hosting a free, open to the public reading and discussion with Vermont author, Ben Hewitt, at 7:00pm on Tuesday, August 31 in the Whittemore Theater.
Marlboro selected Hewitt's book The Town that Food Saved as this year's community reading project. Each first-year student received a copy of the book during the summer and other copies were distributed to faculty and staff. The goal of the community reading project is to provide a shared experience which new students can draw upon as they transition into college life. Hewitt will read from the book and discuss his approach to researching and writing.
The Town that Food Saved (Rodale Press, 2010), is the narrative nonfiction tale about the town of Hardwick, Vermont, a typical hardscrabble farming community of 3,000 residents, which has jump-started its economy and redefined its self-image through a local, self-sustaining food system unlike anything else in America. The town's mostly young entrepreneurs have created a network of community support; they meet regularly to share advice, equipment, and business plans, and to loan each other capital.
Hewitt's work has appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers, including Best Life, Men's Journal, National Geographic Adventure, the New York Times Magazine, Outside, and Skiing. He was born in northwestern Vermont and raised in a two-room cabin; his father was a poet and his mother worked on a nearby dairy farm. He now lives with his wife and two sons on a diversified, 40-acre farm in Vermont, where they produce dairy, beef, pork, lamb, vegetables, and berries. Ben is currently working on a new book about food safety, to be published by Rodale in 2011.
Copies of The Town that Food Saved will be available for sale in the Whittemore Theater lobby. For more information, please contact the Marlboro College public relations office at 802-251-7644 or email@example.com.
For more than 60 years, Marlboro College has offered undergraduate education in the liberal arts. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 300-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont. Marlboro College also offers graduate degrees and certificate programs for working adults at the Marlboro College Graduate School, located in downtown Brattleboro, Vermont.

Welcome to Tommy Merry 2.0
All of the films and video productions I create are shaped by music playing in my head, while all of the audio productions are based on films I see in my head. Many times a project will only call for one, or the other. But when the two come together - it's magic. Thanks for visiting my site. Please click on a link above to learn more about the projects I'm working. Or take a look at news below for a tale of the tape
All of these roles seem to be interconnected in my life. The cohesive strand is creativity, and I switch hats efortlessly as needed. I have been in the multimedia industry since its inception and have created award winning films, produced videos for fortune 500 companies, won numerous awards for guitar playing, shared the stage with some of the best bands on the planet and produced a number of musical CD's in various styles, bands and genres. I am grateful to be living a creative life in which there is no distiction bewtween "Work" and "What I love to do most", and I thank my creator for this daily.

Their menu is large and their portions are huge! You will not find a bettr value in the Boise area. Their famous Hot Wings are the best I have ever tasted. In fact everyone has the same comment. I doubt anyone has better wings. And they serve whole wings, not cut up pieces like everyone else! Bolo's selection of 33 beers is awesome. Go to Bolo's for a great time.

I am not a "fan" of my brother in Christ, Rev Warren. I have distinct theological differences with him. I found many things in "Purpose Driven Life" with which I disagreed.Also, I believed that he missed his "Micaiah" moment (2 Chronicles 18) when he did not ask the pressing questions about faith that some of the 80+% G_d-fearing Americans wanted him to ask Obama in the 2008 Obama-McCain debate. I thought that McCain sufficiently opened his soul for us to inspect. As moderator, I thought that Rev Warren needed to ask questions of clarification to Obama. Perhaps, those who ears did hear, and those who had eyes could see. As for the others, I recall Isaiah 6:9, "seeing but not perceiving, hearing but not understanding".Nevertheless he makes the strong case in today´s article.

What are Burns?
A burn injury usually results from an energy transfer to the body. This can occur in a number of ways:
- Thermal burns (caused by flames, hot surfaces, hot liquids or gases). These occur due to external heat sources that raise the temperature of the skin and tissues and cause tissue cell death or charring.
- Radiation burns – these are burns due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun, or to other sources of radiation such as x-ray.
- Chemical burns (caused by strong acids, alkalies, detergents, or solvents). These burns occur as a result of these chemicals coming into contact with the skin and/or eyes.
- Electrical burns (caused by faulty wiring, old plugs, lightning).

SAB Sports Journalist of the Year announced
8 September 2010
[Johannesburg September 6, 2010] Lucky Sindane of the Mail & Guardian has been named the 2010 SAB Sports Journalist of the Year for his hard-hitting features surrounding the Caster Semenya furore. He walked away with a grand total of R45 000 in prize money.
The aim of the awards - which celebrated its 30th anniversary at a glittering ceremony in Johannesburg tonight - is to reinforce the importance of the media's role in South Africa's sporting development and to recognise and reward talent across all sporting media disciplines.
Sindane was also the winner in the Print & Internet category. Honoured alongside him in the Television category was Supersport's Thomas Mlambo aka "Big Daddy" for his FIFA World Cup presentation particularly in the sports show Harambe. In the Radio category, broadcaster Michael Abrahamson took the award for his well-informed, descriptive and lively commentary on Radio 2000 in 19 World Cup matches. Kwaito star Kabelo Mabalane - better known by his fans as "Bouga Luv" - was named Best Newcomer for his presentation of "Sports Nite" on SABC Sport.
The three category winners each took home R20 000 and the Best Newcomer received R5 000. Along with the coveted title, the SAB Sports Journalist of the Year received a further R25 000.
Danny Jordaan, the FIFA World Cup Local Organising Committee chief, was voted Most Media Friendly Sports Personality of the Year by the South African sports media fraternity who praised him for always being approachable and ready with a quote.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the awards, four people were inducted into the SAB Hall of Fame for lifetime achievement in sports coverage. They are veteran journalist Sy Lerman, photographer Alf Kumalo and broadcasters and commentators Martin Locke and Trevor Quirk.
"South Africa has had a proud history of sports journalism for many years now and SAB is honoured to have had the opportunity of making some contribution over the years to that history. We are delighted to help recognise the achievements of those journalists who have excelled in bringing great stories to life for the South African public," says Dr Vincent Maphai, SAB Executive Director of Corporate Affairs.
The full list of 2009 SAB Sports Journalist of the Year Award recipients are:
The 2010 SAB Sports Journalist of the Year winner: Lucky Sindane (Mail & Guardian) for "Chuene's Trail Of Lies" and "Secret Report Reveals Chuene's Plotting".
Print & Internet winner: Lucky Sindane (Mail & Guardian) for "Chuene's Trail Of Lies" and "Secret Report Reveals Chuene's Plotting".

Most Media Friendly Sports Personality of the Year: Danny Jordaan, the World Cup Local Organising Committee chief.

- Columnist of the year - Carlos Amato (Sunday Times/The Times) for "Hands off the Beast", "Sweat Behind Brazil's Swagger" and "Fix the French Disconnection". He is a true "wordsmith" and his writing is both entertaining and enlightening.
- Live match reporter of the year/breaking news reporter - Lucky Sindane (Mail & Guardian) for "Chuene's Trail Of Lies" and "Secret Report Reveals Chuene's Plotting". Sindane's articles showed how journalism can be used to hold those in power accountable. It was readable, well crafted and researched.
- Photographer of the year - Denvor De Wee (Media 24). De Wee proved to be an extremely versatile photographer who produced work of a high standard and showed through this body of work that he is imbued with enormous artistic abilities.
- New Media Contributor - Rob Houwing (Sport 24) for "Final Fever/Dutch Stars" (Blog), "Beware the Bouquets" and "SWC Sadness". The new media platform requires a unique style of writing and Houwing demonstrated this flawlessly.

- News reporter of the year - Mpumelelo "Lelo" Mzaca from (Eyewitness News) for "Caster Semenya's Green Light", "SAFA Elections" and "The World Cup Experience". Mzaca provided balanced, up-to-the-minute stories on the controversies surrounding Caster Semenya and the Athletics Association of South Africa.
Merit: Nontokozo Mhlongo (various SABC stations including 2000 and SAfm) for "2010 Song".

- Presenter/personality of the year - Thomas Mlambo (Supersport) for World Cup presentation and "Harambe".

He is noted for being well prepared on his subject and has a love for challenging and debating with guests on his shows.
- News reporter of the year - Carly Weinberg (eTV) for "Chaos". Weinberg has a nose for news stories, and sniffs them out of nowhere. Her story on the Cricket South Africa (CSA)/Gauteng Cricket Board (GCB) dispute showed her in the best possible light.
Merit: Nontokozo Mhlongo (SABC Sport) for 2010 coverage.
- Insert of the year - Keletso Totlhanyo (SABC Sport) for "Makhaya Ntini Uncut". The insert was moving, informative, entertaining and thoughtful. It was a fitting tribute to Ntini in celebration of his 100th Test match appearance for the Proteas.
Merit: Sean Everett (Supersport) for "Youth Day".
- Newcomer: Kabelo Mabalane (SABC Sport) for "Sports Nite". South Africa's best loved Kwaito star, Kabelo Mabalane has made huge strides in the world of television presenting in only a matter of months.

Peters awarded drug collection box grant
One of Peters Township police Chief Harry Fruecht's goal is to get as many unwanted and unused prescription drugs out of the medicine cabinets and into drug collection boxes as possible. So, when he discovered a grant program through the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators Inc. in Lutherville, Md., he applied June 18.
The township was awarded one large white collection box, which was delivered several days ago.
The new collection container replaces a blue mail box in the lobby of the police station.
Twice a year, local police departments hold a Take Back the Drugs event, where officers man several collection locations.
With the collection box in the lobby, Fruecht said any time the department is open, medications may be dropped off and there is no need for an officer to be stationed nearby. The lobby is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. When the building is closed at night and on weekends, the area is alarmed and secure.
"This service is available to get rid of unwanted medication," he said.
Items to be dropped off include pills and liquid medication. Syringes or needles of any type, including EpiPens, will not be accepted.
When the box begins to fill, Fruecht said the detectives remove the medication and store it in the secured evidence locker until collection during one of the Take Back days. The next is scheduled for October.
The grant from NADDI was for one box. However, Fruecht notified about 10 surrounding police departments that take part in the semi-annual drug collection and hopes some will also apply for the grant.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Sandy Cohen
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES – Philip Seymour Hoffman suffered from a chronic medical condition that required ongoing treatment. An admitted drug addict who first sought professional help more than two decades ago, Hoffman apparently succumbed to his illness with an overdose despite a return to rehab last March.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman poses for a portrait during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, last month. Hoffman was found dead in his New York apartment Sunday.
The Associated Press/Invision/Victoria Will
A father of three with a thriving career, the Oscar winner died Sunday with a needle in his arm and baggies of what appeared to be heroin nearby. New York City medical examiners were conducting an autopsy on Hoffman's body Monday as investigators scrutinize evidence found in his apartment, including at least four dozen plastic packets, some confirmed to have contained heroin.
His death, which came after a long period of sobriety that ended last year, "epitomizes the tragedy of drug addiction in our society," said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
"Here you have an extraordinarily talented actor who had the resources, who had been in treatment, who obviously realized the problem of drugs and had been able to stay clean," she said, adding that Hoffman's case shows how devastating addiction can be.
Success has no more bearing on drug addiction than it does on heart failure, doctors say: Both can be fatal without consistent care. And while rehab may be part of treatment, it's no antidote. Amy Winehouse and Cory Monteith had both been to rehab before eventually dying from overdoses.
"Addiction is a chronic, progressive illness. No one can be cured," said Dr. Akikur Reza Mohammad, a psychiatrist and addiction-medicine specialist who works as a professor at USC's Keck School of Medicine and is founding chief of Inspire Malibu Treatment Center. "If someone is suffering from addiction, they cannot relax at any time. The brain neurochemistry changes... so these people are prone to relapse."
The younger a person begins using drugs, the more likely he is to develop an addiction, Volkow said. Hoffman wasn't specific about his poisons when he told CBS' "60 Minutes" in 2006 that he used "anything I could get my hands on" before cleaning up with rehab at age 22.
He said in interviews last year that he sought treatment for heroin addiction after 23 years of sobriety.
Addiction causes chemical changes in the brain that remain long after a person stops using the substance, said Volkow, who described the condition as "a chronic disease with a very long duration." Abstinence or substitute medication is often required to prevent the addict from losing control around his desired substance.
And just as someone who hasn't ridden a bike for 20 years will still know what to do with a bicycle, an addicted brain exposed to its drug — even after a long break — will relapse to its old levels.
Studies have replicated this in animals, Volkow said: "Give them a tiny amount and they immediately escalate to same levels of drug taking as before" — which is why addiction is considered a chronic disease and overdose is common.
Hoffman's "is a story that unfortunately is not infrequent — to have an individual who takes drugs in (his) 20s and stops for 20 years relapse in (his) 40s and overdose," she said.
It's not clear what motivated the actor's return to drugs and what, if any, ongoing treatment he received after his rehab stint in 2013.

David Apter, 1924-2010
David E. Apter, 85, a pioneer in African studies who was widely known for his interdisciplinary work in political science and sociology, died on May 4, 2010, at his home in North Haven, Conn. He is survived by family members including Andrew Apter, director of the UCLA African Studies Center. The New York Times and Yale Daily News published obituaries.
Published: Wednesday, May 12, 2010
From the New York Times, May 9, 2010
In his 46-year academic career, Professor Apter wrote or helped write more than 20 books that drew on social science and political theory and his own forays into impoverished lands, where he encountered peasants, politicians and sometimes terrorists. In 1986, Professor Apter spent months in China interviewing survivors of the 1934-35 Long March, which brought Mao Zedong eventually to power. In "Revolutionary Discourse in Mao's Republic" (Harvard, 1994), written with Tony Saich, Professor Apter told how Mao wrote his Little Red Book of political sayings while the marchers, sometimes living in caves, set up so-called "universities" so that they could digest Mao's texts.
"The intensity of their indoctrination was remarkable, how they willingly surrendered personal discretion to gain collective power," Professor Apter said in an interview in April.

From the Yale Daily News, May 7
Apter, an expert on democratization and political violence in Africa, Latin America and Asia, both conducted field research and taught at many of the world's top universities, including Yale, Princeton (where he earned his Ph.D.), Oxford, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study and the Fondation des sciences politiques in Paris. Yale faculty remembered Apter as a deep thinker, a dear friend and a champion of interdisciplinary scholarship.
"David was immensely curious and wonderfully articulate," said Benjamin Foster, professor of near eastern languages and civilizations. "He loved good conversation, good food and the good life."

PHILIPPE BASTIN Lab
Our lab is studying the role and functioning of the trypanosome flagellum, with perspectives in the field of both parasitology and genetic diseases.
Indeed, trypanosomes are significant parasites of man and cattle in central Africa and there are currently no efficient vaccines against them. Moreover, trypanosomes are also an excellent model to study human genetic diseases due to defects in cilia and flagella.
Our lab is a Pasteur full research unit and is affiliated to the Department of Parasitology and Mycology and the Department of Cell Biology and Infection. We also belong to a larger CNRS unit (URA2581, headed by Artur Scherf) that involves three other teams working on Plasmodium and on Leishmania.

Q:Are the Solid Shampoos safe for color treated hair?Asked on 4/2/2012 by Anonymous
2 answers
A:Technically none of our shampoos are designed to be colour-safe, however some shampoos will be more colour-stripping than others. Ingredients to avoid are clarifiers like sea salt and citrus juices. The Ultimate Shine would be one of the more gentle shampoos we offer, as it does not contain either of those ingredients.Answered on 4/3/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:I know that I've seen reviews by people with colored hair on the Ultimate Shine shampoo bar, most say that this particular shampoo stripped their dyed color right out.Answered on 4/23/2012 by Andi from Augusta, ME

Transfer news: Eden Hazard syas he will be playing in blue next season
Lille midfielder Eden Hazard has admitted he is likely to be playing for Manchester City next season.
The Belgian is being chased by a number of English clubs after the player admitted he would like to move to the Premier League at the end of the season.
Harry Redknapp, Sir Alex Ferguson and Roberto Mancini have all publically praised Hazard who is available for around £30million.
The 21-year-old has the most assists in Ligue 1 with 14, while the playmaker has also scored 17 goals.
Hazard was spotted at the recent Manchester derby and when asked whether he prefers red or blue by Canal+, he said: "I like both. They're both nice colours. I think they both suit me."
But when pressed further, Hazard added: "The blue, it's the blue that I'll be wearing next season. Definitely the blue."

Great shoe!
Love these shoes! Very comfortable, true to size and they still very cute. They go well with basically any solid color, jeans, etc. Can be semi-dressy as well as casual. I also love Crocs because they are very easy to clean and don't start to smell like other close-toe shoes might.

NIAC Celebrates 10th Anniversary: Education and Advocacy for the Iranian-American Community
"I've watched our community mature into a group that is no longer afraid to voice their opinion and make change," said Trita Parsi, NIAC President.
Immediate Release
Washington, DC – This
month, the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) celebrates
10 years of serving the
Iranian-American community. In May 2002, NIAC opened its doors and thanks to
our members and supporters it has grown to become the largest and
longest-serving Iranian-American grassroots organization in the country. The
organization emerged after the devastating events of September 11, when the
Iranian-American community sought ways to collectively condemn the terrorist acts and
support America at a time when it
was confronted with profound issues of national security, immigration and the character
of American society.
"I've watched our community mature into a group that is no longer afraid to voice their opinion and make change," said Trita Parsi, NIAC President. "Our political system has greatly benefited from our community's participation, and I hope we can continue to work to ensure our voice is heard in all levels of government."

President Barack Obama's newly announced support for same-sex marriages adds an emotional new element to his re-election bid in Virginia, a battleground state he won in 2008 but where voters have consistently opposed it.
Obama, who once opposed gay marriage, is the first sitting president to announce his support for it in an ABC News interview Wednesday.
State Democratic chairman Brian Moran says it's probably a wash. Voters motivated by their opposition to gay marriage would never support Obama anyway, while marriage equality advocates and young voters will be energized.
University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato agreed, adding that the issue that will decide the election is still the economy.
But conservative Family Foundation leader Victoria Cobb says Obama will pay a price with conservative and faith-based voters.
