Chris has over a decade of experience teaching golfers of all levels. He believes that there is more than one way to swing the golf club correctly. Each individual is unique and encompasses different skill sets depending on their athletic backgrounds, flexibility, body types and life experiences; therefore, each student can not fit into the same mold.Chris is a "total game teacher" and truly enjoys teaching all aspects of the game. He believes that there is a balance between proper fundamentals, concept comprehension and skill acquisition needed to achieve success at every level. T

During my golf career as a PGA Member, I have coached and instructed more than 15,000 private and group lessons since 1995. One of my career highlights was working as the Assistant Golf Professional for 5 years at The Country Club at Muirfeld Village, designed by fellow Buckeye native Jack Nicklaus and is the home of The Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. During my time at The Country Club, I had the opportunity to assist with 3 separate golf clinics with guest instructors Jim Flick, David Leadbetter and Tom Watson.

South Florida Golf Instruction's philosophy is to make sure the student has a better understanding of the golf swing and for them to know why they are making the changes we ask them to make. At South Florida Golf Instruction we like for the student to not focus on a bad swing and what they do wrong – because what they do wrong really does not matter – what matters is that the student knows what they have to do right. When the student knows what they have to do right, they are able to fix themselves and become their own teacher.South Florida Golf Instruction accom

Over 30 years in golf, from amateur to professional to teacher to business woman, golf has afforded unique opportunities to use my strengths in management, marketing and fundraising. I am grateful to work with leaders in the business community, golf industry and the Ladies Professional Golf Association.

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by ChevyFan, Nov 13, 2007.
Good for you Steve!
I did another drive in it, and it actually only feels loose when accellerating, not when driving at a constant speed or even slight accelleration. What would cause it to loosen up when accellerating? Anyone?
Does this truck have speed sensitive steering Steve?
I just was wondering because that may have been damaged and could be your real problem. Not to mention a real expensive problem.
I still can't believe they didn't total this thing. I haven't kept up in years but what was the book value before the accident? They used to have a brake point at half the vehicle cost for totaling vehicles.
Kelly Blue Book on this vehicle for Private Party (at time of accident) was roughly $9500, going rate at a pre-owned dealership was probably upper 10'000 maybe 10,999.
In Texas, they like to total a vehicle around 70% of the Actual Cash Value. I would have taken $9500, so 70% of that would have been $6300 after they took out my $500 deductible. (which I get back after they sue Farmers Insurnace for me)
Right now, with the additional work that has to be done, we're looking around $7500 it total repais. $6750 has already been spent, but the fan clutch replacement is probably ~$500 out the door, not sure about the steering, not sure about the insider fender ledge. This could his $8000 or higher before it's all over and done with.
I'm not sure if the Trailblazer has speed sensitive steering or not. I'll look into it and we'll see.
Anyone think it could be the stabilizer bar, like a bushing went out from the wreck?
Haven't been able to find anything on Speed Sensitive Steering for the TB yet.
I got it back, it still needs some work. See the post about "Got my Trailblazer back" in the Trailblazer forum.
I just got word last week that my insurance company has started the process of suing Farmers Insurance. Whoo Hoo!
It's actually arbitration, but it should be pretty cut and dried.
This might be a wierd first post here guys, but I live in Arlington also and Matlock can be terrible, especially with the new Arlington Highlands buildup. I feel your pain Steve. My office is off Cooper St south of I-20, and we can quite literally hear the wrecks outside on Cooper almost daily:shocked: About six months ago I was involved in a hit-and-run on Randoll Mill and Cooper, only cosmetic damage, but now its on my dime!
Anyways, I am checking out some Chevy forums becuase I got my first GM vehicle after owning 4 Hondas, and I love it! Its a 2008 Tahoe 3LT in Summit white. Heck, one of the reasons I bought a Tahoe was because all these terrible drivers in Arlington/ DFW concern me so much. I just didn't feel safe driving a 3500lb Honda anymore.
Thanks for joining up. I should probably make a Texas forum on here just for all the Texans here. ;-) Yeah, I think I've been pretty fair about the whole wreck thing, but they do happen. Good luck on the Tahoe and let us know if you have any questions.
Turns out it was a leaking steering rack, from my point of view it was almost certainly caused by the accident.
When I drove the vehicle the first day that they had offered it up to me, it seemed to drive fine. After I drove it move it got sloppier and sloppier. That tells me it was damaged in the accident and started leaking pretty badly afterwards.
Does that make sense?
Thanks to Vandergriff Chevy for finding it, they put it up on the rack and took a look at it. Not sure if they had to pull it apart, but it's got to be fixed.

Night sailing - Glen Cove to Stamford, CT and return
I'm planning 2 night sails. Glen Cove to Stamford on Thursday 3/17/11 at 8:00 PM. Staying at Brewers Marina in Stamford. I'll be working on my laptop all day Friday, so will be staying at the dock. Then returning Saturday very early morning (before dawn).
If anyone wants to join, please let me know.
You finding girls in Stamford for the rest of the crew, too? ;)
Arrived safe in Stamford awhile ago. It was an excellent night. Light winds, sailed wing-on-wing much of the way across and up the sound. Solo. It was incredibly warm tonight. Saw a couple tugs pushing barges, but neither was near me. Kept a good watch with binoculars all the way.
The marina is empty, so I had my pick of slips. I docked on an end in the deepest water slip they have, but then move over one slip so I can tie lines off on both side of the boat. We are expecting gusts to 40 tomorrow and I don't want the boat rubbing on the fenders all day.
Plan is to work tomorrow (on my laptop) and then sail back after midnight. Looks like the front will pass by before then.
Stamford really is a good destination for me from Glen Cove. The approach is very interesting. You keep a flashing white light centered on a steady-ish red light and that takes you most of the way in, staying in the channel.
The marina's wifi is with the same provider, so my logon at the other Brewers worked here fine.
I guess this sail went by with hardly a notice here on SN. Had a great solo sail back with some motoring. Got in about 3:00 AM on Saturday.
The moon was nearing a super full moon, since it's so close in it's orbit to the earth. I spotted something in the moonlight. It turned out to be a floating cooler. After fetching it, I noticed it was pretty dirty, faded but otherwise in good condition. Didn't clean it up yet, since I was getting pretty tired by the time everthing was secured.
The extra close full moon on the Sound must have been great.
Good for you.
I would've joined ya if I was anywhere near you!!
Thanks for the reading sounds fun!
It was amazingly bright. Almost like daylight, once you get used to it.
Brad, I noticed your post/sail...wanted to contact you
but had both business and personal obligations. Will continue in the future to work on correcting my priorities!
Happy you were able to enjoy that Great moon on the water.
Best, Hugo
A great night sail and bonus salvage! Excellent!

The Quest of the Silver Fleece HTML version
Twenty-five: The Campaign
Mr. Easterly sat in Mrs. Vanderpool's apartments in the New Willard, Washington,
drinking tea. His hostess was saying rather carelessly:
"Do you know, Mr. Vanderpool has developed a quite unaccountable liking for the idea
of being Ambassador to France?"
"Dear me!" mildly exclaimed Mr. Easterly, helping himself liberally to cakes. "I do hope
the thing can be managed, but—"
"What are the difficulties?" Mrs. Vanderpool interrupted.
"Well, first and foremost, the difficulty of electing our man."
"I thought that a foregone conclusion."
"It was. But do you know that we're encountering opposition from the most unexpected
The lady was receptive, and the speaker concluded:
"The Negroes."
"The Negroes!"
"Yes. There are five hundred thousand or more black voters in pivotal Northern States,
you know, and they're in revolt. In a close election the Negroes of New York, Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois choose the President."
"What's the matter?"
"Well, business interests have driven our party to make friends with the South. The South
has disfranchised Negroes and lynched a few. The darkies say we've deserted them."
Mrs. Vanderpool laughed.
"What extraordinary penetration," she cried.
"At any rate," said Mr. Easterly, drily, "Mr. Vanderpool's first step toward Paris lies in
getting the Northern Negroes to vote the Republican ticket. After that the way is clear."
Mrs. Vanderpool mused.

Senator: Port Authority Being Raided by States
Sen. Charles Schumer (NY-D.) is criticizing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for spending almost $2 billion on projects that don't relate to its mission and don't produce revenue. Schumer was particularly pointed in singling out repair work on the Pulaski Skyway, which is currently underway.
"New Jersey and Gov. Christie, after killing the project to build a new commuter train tunnel under the Hudson, directed the Port Authority to finance the renovation of the Pulaski Skyway to the tune of nearly $1 billion," Schumer said in remarks to real estate and construction industry leaders. "The Pulaksi Skyway is neither owned nor in any way operated by the Port Authority. It is a state road system and its maintenance and redevelopment should be funded as such."
New Jersey's own DOT has little funding for road repair; the state has the second lowest gas tax in the United States, and Christie has vowed not to raise it.
Schumer called the decision to kill the tunnel — known as the ARC tunnel, for Access to the Region's Core — "one of the worst decisions in transportation history." Christie had said the tunnel was killed because New Jersey couldn't afford it, but it also enabled the governor to get access to billions of dollars that he could spend on roads. Schumer said there were examples from both parties, on both sides of the Hudson, of what he called "intrusions" into Port Authority funds for state purposes.
Schumer was the latest to weigh in on one of the hottest topics of the day: Port Authority reform. The senator also proposed changing the way staff and board members are selected, and called for greater transparency.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — With apologies to Don Henley …
Almost missed this ESPN piece on South Carolina and the Rebel flag. It's amazing that a state would cling to old memories in the face of growing irrelevancy.
Seven score and four years ago, brother fought brother and a young nation cannibalized itself as we killed each other over self-determination. History books tell us it was an industrialized war while regional tales speak of a more insiduous plot to strip away the Southern mystique. Factions still squabble over "heritage" versus "hate" wherever the Stars-n-Bars flies. And they're correct: our heritage causes hate.
Don't get pissed at me for pointing it out. I'm nowhere near as big a Southern icon as coach Steve Spurrier – he received death threats after calling for South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from atop its state capital.
I drive all over the Southeast, have pretty much all my life. You don't see as many Confederate flags as you used to, but you don't see billboards for Moonpies or R.C. Cola either. That's not to say they don't exist.
Every time I drive to Monticello, Ark., I pass one just south of Pine Bluff on US 63. It tattered for awhile, but they raised another not too long ago. We saw a HUGE one in Tennessee this side of Knoxville — free speech and all. Of course when we go to Florida, some kid's always got one hanging off the back of a 4WD pick-up. I'd post pictures, but you know what it looks like.
You can always count on the young, the uneducated and the disenfranchised to take up the cause of the Rebel flag. Sure, other people may believe in the symbolism, but it's just not good business to stir up trouble when times are tight.
Before you get wound up tight and start questioning my Southern heritage, let me question how often are the graves kept on Decoration Day? But even more importantly, how long will we keep looking back at where we fell instead of turning to face what's coming? Do you hate your sons and daughters so much that your fanaticism will cause you to starve your own now (in a downbeaten economy) to honor those who died then?
I digress.
Over at Sports Illustrated, Stewart Mandel explains why ESPN execs pulled a no-brainer when handing over the bank to broadcast SEC football. Andy Staples elaborates by noting other conferences may play fancier football, but NOBODY else exhibits the passion of SEC fans.
"The next time you meet someone who claims to be a die-hard Red Sox fan, ask him how many magnets he can fit on his RV. That's why the two networks will pay a combined $3 billion over the next 15 years to televise SEC sports."
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like those RVs will be driving down I-69 in Arkansas anytime soon.
Also noteworthy, Southerners are taking over the G.O.P. … duh, you mean that's something new? I'd suggest keeping an eye on this white Southern terrorists recently arrested and headed to court today.
By the way, I'm trying to revamp what appears in The Southerner Journal. I assume most of you would be more interested in stuff about the South, much as what appears linked here. I've started a new blog featuring my Perpetual Notions, which focuses more on my interests and keeps alive a column started as an undergraduate.
If there's time to write "news" for a regional audience, you'll still see it here first. (If you have an article you think worthy of regional interest, pass it to us via e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. We ain't making money, but we give bylines worth something as we won't post just anything).
Whenever there's crossover from my column, I'll still post here; also, you will only find this "Around the South" column on this site. In general, expect to see more links about things that interest (or piss off) the Southerners who still cling to a regionalism unlike other areas of the United States.
Under the Microscope
by Glynn Wilson
The history of the Civil War has never really interested me that much compared to the American Revolution. Neither has the Great Man theory of history interested me nearly as much as the study of science and nature.
But just like in life we can't ultimately escape death or taxes, I can't seem to get through life as an American or a Southerner without facing the baggage left over from the Civil War — and the man-centric view of history.
I would rather be camping out in the Great Smoky Mountains photographing birds in the wild.
But since Birmingham Congressman Artur Davis has thrust this race for governor upon us a year and a half ahead of time, like a lot of men before him whose ambitions drove the agendas of their state or nation, it is impossible NOT to spend some time thinking about these things.

America Just Elected Its First Black President
Are the people of Alabama ready for an African-American governor?
by Glynn Wilson
ATLANTA, Ga. — Some historians say the final battle of the Civil War was fought at Sayler's Creek, southwest of Petersburg, Virginia, on April 6, 1865. Try bringing that up in a political bar like Manuel's Tavern in downtown Atlanta, however, and see how fast you can start an argument.
While everyone knows that Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865, at the Appomattox Court House, effectively ending the war, many an expert would argue that the old, lingering causes of the war survived in people's attitudes long after the fighting on the bloody battle fields came to a gentlemanly end.
Ask the leaders of the Civil Rights movement, those who had to fight those battles all over again in the 1950s and '60s.
Then there are thinkers and writers who will tell you, if you give them half a chance over a few shots of whiskey or a few pints of dark beer, that the election of George W. Bush in 2000 effectively erased the Union's victory in the war and was finally, at long last, a victory for the old Confederacy. Putting aside the issue of election theft and the Supreme Court, ponder the idea that Bush came into office in large measure by the hands of mostly white voters from the old Confederate states of the Deep South, with some help from middle America and parts of the West.
Since Obama's election even the TV pundits will tell you the only base left for the national Republican Party lies in the old states of the Confederacy, thanks in part to the scorched earth strategies of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, whose marches to Washington and Baghdad with Bush scarred the national character almost as much as General William Tecumseh Sherman's fiery "March to the Sea."
Then consider that while Bush's campaign coffers may not have been filled by the profits from cotton, hand-picked on plantations worked by slaves, the mega corporations that mostly supported his candidacy were interested in keeping wages low and gutting the rights of juries in courtrooms to punish corporate crimes against working people, humanity and the earth. Bush got most of his money to run in 2000 from oil and other energy companies, including Exxon Mobile and Southern Company, as well as insurance companies and the pharmaceutical giants. He came into office — in the world prior to 9/11 — with the prime objective to pass national "tort reform," the watchword for stopping juries from rendering multi-million dollar judgments against multi-national corporations.
Rove had already accomplished that feat in Alabama — once known as the top state in the country for large jury awards against corporate malfeasance — by helping the Republican Party orchestrate a political takeover of the state Supreme Court.
If you ask just about any academic expert who studies the demographic numbers from public opinion polls and election results, you could say Americans finally fought the final battle of the Civil War on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008. Symbolically, it took another Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, to put together enough of a national coalition to defeat Confederate attitudes once and for all.
|Glynn Wilson
|Rep. Artur Davis in Birmingham recently…
Jim Gundlach, a retired Auburn Sociology professor, harbors a special fascination for the "age" variable in public opinion research, mainly for the story it tells on an issue like public attitudes on race and the chances of electing African-American candidates to national and statewide office.
He ran the model on Obama's candidacy before the election and predicted that the best he could possibly do in a national race was to win by about 7 percent, if he ran a flawless campaign and the other side stumbled (can you say Sarah Palin?). And Obama hit the number almost right on the dot, winning by about 7 percent nationally in the popular vote.
If you run the same model in a state like Alabama, where Birmingham Congressman Artur Davis is making noises about running for governor, what you find is that the state is at least a decade away from fighting the final battle of the Civil War. It will take that long, according to the numbers, for the younger and more progressive population to overtake the older diehards on the race issue, who will finally die off in substantial enough numbers for a black man to have a chance of moving into the governor's mansion in Montgomery, in the city where the Confederacy was launched in 1861.
"People do not change their minds on core issues in their lifetimes," Gundlach says. "That's a fact."

I always thought that when the United States elected its first female president that it would be a nail biter -- a down-to-the-wire race that would keep us up late on election night before it was official, but Hillary Clinton's presidency is shaping up to be a coronation.
The Clinton candidacy is already underway, and at this point it's doubtful that anyone else will bother unless it is to get some name recognition for 2024. According to the Washington Post, Clinton is "the biggest frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination ever." That distinction doesn't even take Bill into account. Bill Clinton is the best campaigner I've ever seen and has been an incredible fundraiser for his own campaigns, for other Democrats and for causes he supports.
So, unless something incredibly dramatic happens we can just go ahead and slot Hillary in as the Democratic candidate. She'll hit the campaign trail, in the general election, with Bill and the Obamas by her side (not to mention whoever her VP pick is).
But, Hillary still has to beat the Republicans right? Sure she'll have an incredible amount of money and a political all star team (including two former two-term presidents) out campaigning for her but that doesn't guarantee anything!
The truth is that none of that guaranteed it, but Chris Christie probably did. Christie was the only republican to lead Hillary Clinton in national polling, but that isn't true anymore. Thanks to his public implosion Christie isn't even a serious contender for the Republican nomination anymore.
The favourites now are Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush. As of today, Clinton has a slight lead over all of them and a stronger national favourability. She will also have a fundraising advantage and a campaigning advantage. The GOP has very few veterans they can bring out who would be a positive on the campaign trail. Also, if the GOP nominates Jeb Bush it will be interesting to see him campaign, without reminding voters of the George W. Bush presidency.
So, Hillary will be able outspend and out-campaign the Republicans. She'll be relatively unbruised from what should be a cake walk of a primary. She'll be able to run for President while the Republicans run for, what is likely to be, a bitterly contested nomination. She'll be able to fundraise while the Republicans run ads against each other. She'll be able to effectively be in 5 states, or locations, at once with her VP, Bill Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama all criss-crossing the country rallying supporters and donations. That is not the end of her advantages though.
Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee are both popular with the Republican base (something Mitt Romney was not) but the Republican base is divided like never before. Moderate voters are fleeing the Republican Party. Those voters might have supported Christie before his implosion but it's not clear that they'll come back for Bush or Huckabee, not when Hillary can claim the "moderate" mantle without too much difficulty.
Also, the Tea Party members of the Republican base don't really like the evangelical members of the Republican base and vice versa. Catholics and young evangelicals currently seem far more interested in social and economic justice than they are in gay marriage. It is not a huge issue yet, but it will add to the difficulty of any candidate trying to navigate the landscape of the Republican base.
Whoever gets the nomination and whatever platform they settle on, there is a good chance that the Republicans (now a smaller party than they were in 2012) will be divided by the end of the primaries and some faction(s) may sit out of the general election cycle.
So, in summary, Hillary Clinton has spent most of her adult life in politics in some capacity. She has been an activist, graduate of Yale Law school, a governor's wife, the first lady, a senator and Secretary of State. Despite Republican Attempts since the early 90s to link her to scandal she hasn't committed one really serious blunder to date and in 2016 the Republicans only real hope is that Hillary Clinton will beat Hillary Clinton.

The Craig City Council will meet with a Steamboat Springs attorney tonight during a workshop on oil and gas activity inside city limits.
The workshop is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Craig City Hall, 300 W. Fourth St. It is open to the public, and precedes the council's regular meeting at 7:30 p.m.
Jessica Ryan, an attorney with Klauzer & Tremaine, LLC, will meet with the council.
She works on land and mineral leases as part of her practice and was one of the featured presenters at the Northwest Colorado Oil and Gas Symposium in Hayden earlier this month.
"I'm going to be talking about the same things I presented at the symposium in Hayden," Ryan said. "Basic oil and gas issues in Routt and Moffat counties that we are seeing in our office in regards to surface and mineral rights."
Ryan said she was asked to speak to city officials by Craig Mayor Terry Carwile after two residents recently voiced concerns about seismic activity occurring within the city.
"Terry told me about some of the issues people are having with the seismic activity in the area," Ryan said. "I'm looking forward to hearing what the council has to say and how I can be a resource."
Council member Jennifer Riley said she's also heard from residents having issues with the seismic activity in the city. One company performing seismic activity has been "really aggressive and pretty tough to work with for the community," she said.
"We just want to know what's allowed, what's not allowed and what these companies are obligated to do to compensate land owners even if they're not the mineral owners," Riley said.
Riley said she's also hoping to have a discussion with Ryan about Craig's land use code that was designed to prevent oil and gas activity within city limits.
Council member Ray Beck said he doesn't have any specific questions prepared for Ryan, but is interested in learning the effects oil and gas activity will have on the city.
"I'm hopeful the workshop will educate the council on this issue in both the short- and long-term," Beck said. "I'm interested in learning the potential social, economical and environmental impacts on the community."

We agree with Reps. Gary Miller, Adam Schiff, Judy Chu, Grace Napolitano and others that selling off foreclosed properties in bulk to institutional investors is a bad idea.
The members of Congress sent a letter this month to Edward DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, asking him not to go forward with a planned pilot program to sell Fannie Mae foreclosures in Los Angeles and Riverside counties.
The bipartisan letter - signed by 19 Congress members including Miller, R-Brea, a member of the House Financial Services Committee; Schiff, D-Pasadena; Chu, D-El Monte; Napolitano, D-Santa Fe Springs, and Ken Calvert, R-Riverside - contends that such sales would weaken the local housing market.
The legislators further point out that the program would run counter to FHFA's role, as conservator, to restore the financial health of the government-sponsored mortgage investor agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and to protect taxpayers.
"Current foreclosure listings are sold in less than 60 days of listing and the properties sell for close to or above the asking price," the letter reads in part, indicating that Southern California is not the sort of high-inventory, low-demand area for which the pilot program is targeted.
Resale prices of California homes rose in March compared to the same month a year ago, the first time that has happened in 16 months. Los Angeles-area sales also rose in March and inventories shrank. Los Angeles County had 4.3 months of homes listed in March compared to 5.5 months a year ago.
All those stats point to a bottom finally being reached for the housing market. Bulk sales of foreclosures to large institutional investors like banks and hedge funds, undoubtedly at a discount (or the institutions wouldn't buy), would only send prices artificially lower.
"In California, there is no question that disposing properties through bulk sales will yield a lower return for (Fannie Mae) and taxpayers than through traditional methods," the lawmakers' letter says. "This means that such a program will increase losses to the taxpayer ..."
It's not surprising that California Realtors oppose the pilot program as well. Bulk sales would leave brokers and real estate professionals out of the equation - and without commissions.
More importantly for the regional economy, bulk sales could suppress prices in a housing market that's having enough trouble picking itself up off the floor.
The FHFA should just leave not-quite-well-enough alone.

|Re: st: Multicollinearity in a simple Poisson model
|Mon, 26 Sep 2005 12:08:25 -0000
Hi Alice: Say we have two explanatory variables, x1 and x2, and these variables are highly positively correlated. So whenever we see a high value of x1 we also see a high value of x2. Now how can we say that a change in y is caused by either x1 or x2? We obviously can't distinguish between the effect of x1 and x2 if the correlation between x1 and x2 is perfect. If the correlation is close to 1 (or -1) it is extremely difficult, and the confidence intervals will reflect that by being very large. The estimates will also tend to be unstable, i.e. small changes in your data or model will lead to large changes in the estimates. This is true for any type of multiple regression, including OLS and Poisson. So using poisson regression will not solve your multicolinearity problem. Hope this helps, Maarten -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:owner- email@example.com]On Behalf Of ALICE DOBSON Sent: maandag 26 september 2005 11:45 To: email@example.com Subject: Re: st: Multicollinearity in a simple Poisson model Because multicollinearity may influence the least squares estimates.

There is no use cutting corners when it comes to SEO.
Almost everyone with a website has probably received an e-mail from a black hat SEO company that guarantees a #1 ranking in Google without telling you exactly how they intend to do it.
It's interesting to read about a rather shady black hat company called Traffic Power.
Matt Marlon, CEO of Traffic Power has found himself in jail and not made himself many friends.
As we all know there is a lot of work that takes place to get sites ranking well. People tend to be consistent, particularly when it comes to behaviour and playing by the rules. In the case of Mr Marlon and Traffic Power the connection is clear for all to see.
Fortunately the SEO industry has evolved in the last few years and legitimate SEO companies are gaining the respect that they deserve and the dodgy ones are rightly being found out.

Danielle Fishel (a.k.a. Topanga) tweeted a shot from the set of Girl Meets World, showing her hand with co-star Ben Savage's, both prominently displaying their wedding bands (and in her case, some serious bling). "Cory and Topanga … together again," she wrote.

The two have been shooting the Disney Channel revamp of their original series, Boy Meets World, centered around the Matthews's 13-year-old daughter, Riley.
And both Savage and Fishel seem to be enjoying their "happily married" status, sharing photos from the set and discussing the joys of being a TV parent.

Seamless and the Online-Takeout Trend Are Making Restaurants Queasyby
For customers, there is little not to like about Seamless. You pull up a website or an app, find a restaurant nearby, and pick out a few dishes to have delivered. Your credit card gets charged and you don't have to speak a single word into the phone.
Pedro Muñoz sees things different. The founder and owner of Luz, a trendy Latin American restaurant serving lobster guacamole, pupusas, and Peruvian-style chicken in Brooklyn, decided to cut ties with Seamless starting on Aug. 10. He's been including a letter in all delivery orders explaining the decision and directing customers to the restaurant's website for online orders. For Luz, Muñoz says, the extra business brought in by inclusion in online-ordering services wasn't worth the high fees and other expensive strings that came with it. "It's awesome if you're a customer. It's great," he says. "But in all aspects it's killing the restaurants. It's a model that cannot be sustained."
Seamless takes a 14 percent commission from every order at Luz, according to Munoz, and requires his restaurant to pay additional fees for advertising and credit-card transactions. Those rates rose along with the restaurant's volume of orders. Seamless also holds funds for 40 days before distributing them, the restaurateur explains, meaning an increase in business through Seamless led to Luz having less cash on hand to keep running. At times, Muñoz says, he has been waiting for up to $20,000 from Seamless, an untenable situation for a business making its living on the thin margins of the restaurant industry. (A representative for Seamless says fees vary depending on the restaurant and payments are made every 30 days, but doesn't otherwise dispute Muñoz's claims.)
It's a common story for brick-and-mortar businesses during the ascendance of digital services. A startup comes up with an idea to leverage the Internet to increase customer choice or convenience, skimming a healthy portion of the profits with a fraction of the overhead. People listen to more music, get more massages, have access to more classified ads. But as it gets easier to sell things and offer services, some businesses find it harder to make money doing so. Several years ago, when Groupon was the fastest-growing company in the history of the Internet, concern rose that retailers couldn't live in a world of perpetual discounting. On a smaller scale, this is now playing out in the takeout joints of New York City.
Earlier this year, Seamless merged with its largest competitor, GrubHub, raising eyebrows among the city's restaurateurs and catching the attention of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. While the merger is still being finalized, Schneiderman moved on Monday to change the way online-ordering services do business. The attorney general's office reached a deal intended to ensure the combined company doesn't enjoy an unfair advantage, with particular focus on the exclusive arrangements restaurants have signed with Seamless. The pact with the attorney general lets restaurants out of those exclusive agreements within 45 days and requires Seamless/GrubHub to observe an 18-month moratorium on any new agreements with restaurants.
Sure, this is hardly the most pressing antitrust matter in corporate America today. But Seamless and GrubHub are the two largest online-delivery companies out there, with over 32,000 restaurants in the U.S. and U.K. and a dominant position in New York City. And while there are competitors—Yelp recently announced that it would begin offering online ordering through such partners as Delivery.com and Eat24Hours—it would be hard to build a viable local alternative if many restaurants in a city were already locked up.
The move into online ordering is an obvious path for Yelp. What's the point of looking up reviews of restaurants if you can't act on those reviews? And Schneiderman's deal should give some piece of mind to Yelp's current partners. The agreement keeps Yelp from dropping them in favor of exclusive agreements with Seamless/GrubHub. "We are advocates of any market forces that make choice paramount for the consumer and merchant," said Delivery.com in a statement.
Unchecked market forces for online services are often especially unkind to companies in second or third place, and exclusivity agreements aren't the only thing tightening Seamless's grip on its clients. Network effects probably play nearly as large a role. Restaurants will want to be where the most consumers are, and consumers will flock to the services that let them find the most restaurants. In addition, once a consumer has established an account, entered credit-card information, and begun feeding data that can be used to provide personalized services, the barriers to switching can quickly become hard to surmount. In this regard, the monopoly brewing for online orders of tuna and avocado rolls in Manhattan is not the kind that Schneiderman's office will have much luck breaking up.
Of course, Seamless/GrubHub says there's nothing to worry about. Online-ordering services help customers find new restaurants, says Abby Hunt, a spokeswoman for GrubHub, and the average order placed through its website is larger than the average phone order. GrubHub customers are also more likely to add on high-margin items such as sodas and desserts, she says. And despite the rejection by Brooklyn's Luz, it doesn't appear that New York City restaurants are opting out of these ordering services in significant numbers.
Even if many restaurants will continue paying the fees, that doesn't mean there isn't widespread ambivalence about online-delivery services, according to James Versocki, counsel to the New York State Restaurant Association's chapter in the city. Customers, especially in office-heavy neighborhoods, simply won't order food that doesn't come through Seamless. "You're pushed out of the market for delivery if you don't use them," he says.
The merger with GrubHub will leave restaurants with even less leverage. Muñoz, for his part, knows that Luz will be taking fewer orders starting next week. But he hopes the tradeoff will benefit his business: "We are going to lose some," he says, "but I'd rather have a positive cash-flow business with less volume than more volume with less earnings."
