St Johnstone v Hearts
St Johnstone kept pace in the top six of the Scottish Premier League with a battling victory against Hearts at McDiarmid Park.
Jason Holt opened the scoring for Hearts in the 29th minute, firing in a Ryan McGowan cross.
Fewer than 10 minutes later, Murray Davidson restored party with a fine volley from Dave MacKay's inswinger.
Fransisco Sandaza netted the winner from the spot after Marius Zaliukas felled him inside the area.
The win keeps St Johnstone level on points with fourth-placed Dundee United, although the Saints have a game in hand as they seek to clinch a European slot.
Hearts have yet to secure their top six place, with a five-point advantage over seventh-place Kilmarnock and two rounds of fixtures left before the split.
The visitors, minus the injured Craig Beattie, survived a scare after 26 minutes when Zaliukas was short with a backpass.
Goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald beat Fran Sandaza to the ball but took a fresh air kick and the ball crept past the post.
It was a let-off but Paulo Sergio's side took advantage as they claimed the lead.
Right-back McGowan raced down the right and fired over the perfect cross for Holt to finish from eight yards.
Sandaza almost made the most of a mix-up in the Hearts penalty area as St Johnstone chased the equaliser.
It arrived after 35 minutes as Davidson met Dave Mackay's cross and steered a volley beyond MacDonald.
Zaliukas then did well to cut out Lee Croft's cross as Cillian Sheridan waited to pounce.
Hearts were forced to make a goalkeeping change at half-time, with Mark Ridgers replacing MacDonald.
His goal came under threat straight away as Sandaza raced clear from the halfway line, but his shot was deflected over.
Sheridan fired a shot wide of target as St Johnstone started to pile on the pressure.
St Johnstone defender Frazer Wright was booked for a late tackle on Holt after 57 minutes, then Hearts midfielder Darren Barr blazed over the bar from 30 yards.
With 15 minutes remaining, Sandaza was brought down inside the Hearts penalty area by Zaliukas and referee Steven Mclean had no hesistation in pointing to the spot before the Spaniard stepped up and converted for the winner.
Chris Millar almost added a second for St Johnstone with a looping header, then Andy Driver wasted a good chance to equalise for Hearts in injury-time.

Soph Binchotan Sunglasses
Soph.net's creative designer Hirofumi Kiyonaga has created a new line of sunglasses which are made out of a re,arkable material called 'binchotan', or otherwise known as 'white charcoal'. Unlike traditional charcoal, 'binchotan' is odorless when burnt and leaves no sign of marking when handled, another of its special attributes is its strength, with a strength that some have compared to that found in cast iron. Available now in a black or brown color way, the frames are at Soph.net retailers worldwide and at Honeyee's online store. See collection here.

As much as we'd like to think that our decisions are all rational and logical, they're typically more driven by fears, ideals, gut instincts, a desire for affection, and a medley of other emotional promptings.
The three biggest "human factors" are affiliation, aspiration, and identity, and all of those are emotionally-driven goals. How can your product or service tap into those?
Skip the rational arguments, and appeal to those hard-to-reach emotions instead. It'll give you a stronger personal connection, and set you apart from your competitors.
Once you've done that, check out some of our other marketing ideas.


text:
The $1.5 billion U.S. electronic- cigarette industry has tripled sales this year with the help of TV ads, Nascar sponsorships and product giveaways. Government regulation may now threaten those marketing tactics.
The FDA is set to decide this month whether to lump e-cigarettes in with conventional smokes as part of its oversight of the $90 billion U.S. tobacco market. Such a step would set the stage for greater restrictions on production, advertising, flavorings and online sales.
With at least 40 U.S. states seeking stricter rules and federal health officials raising the alarm about e-cigarette use by children, manufacturers of the smokeless devices are preparing for a FDA crackdown.
"We do anticipate becoming a regulated industry, so it is very possible the way in which we advertise will change," said Andries Verleur, co-founder of e-cigarette maker VMR Products.
E-cigarettes heat liquid nicotine into an inhaled vapor without the tar of normal cigarettes. For the moment, marketers operate with few, if any, of the regulatory limits that apply to tobacco companies such as Philip Morris USA and Reynolds American Inc. TV advertisements by tobacco companies were banned in 1971, and in 2010 the FDA eliminated cigarette sampling. Sporting leagues such as Nascar also have severed ties.
With the FDA seeking to expand its regulatory authority beyond conventional cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, some e- cigarette companies are opening up the marketing spigot while they still have a chance.
Victory Electronic Cigarettes, run by the same marketing executive who helped build InBev NV into a dominant brewer, is handing out 1 million e-cigarettes starting this month at events in 50 U.S. cities. There will be a traveling van and tents at Nascar races, said Chief Executive Officer Brent Willis, who was once the president of InBev's Asia-Pacific operations and helped introduce the Kraft brand to China.
Logic Technology, which makes up 17 percent of industry sales, plans a push in Manhattan bars and nightclubs this year or early 2014.
"You go where adult smokers are," said Miguel Martin, president of Livingston, N.J.-based Logic, in an interview.
The industry says e-cigarettes are a healthier, cleaner alternative to traditional smoking. Many disagree. At least 40 U.S. state attorneys general on Sept. 24 urged the FDA to immediately regulate the sale and advertising of electronic cigarettes in a letter that said the products are appealing to youth and no one is "ensuring the safety of the ingredients."
That followed a Sept. 5 report in which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised an alarm about children getting hooked on nicotine. The CDC found the share of U.S. students in middle school and high school who used e-cigarettes doubled to 10 percent in 2012 from 4.7 percent a year earlier.
By comparison, adolescents who reported smoking regular cigarettes daily or more casually, declined to 8.3 percent in 2010, from 11.9 percent in 2004, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration said earlier this year.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois and 11 other Democrats, seized on the report to call for immediate FDA regulation and to demand that e-cigarette companies provide documents related to sales, labeling and marketing of their products to children.
"Despite claims from some e-cigarette makers that they do not market their products to youth and that kids should not have access to their products, e-cigarette manufacturers appear to be applying marketing tactics similar to those used by the tobacco industry to hook a new generation of children," the senators wrote in a Sept. 26 letter to e-cigarette companies.
The FDA has oversight over the cigarette market under a 2009 law that gives it sway over manufacturing, marketing and other tobacco industry practices. The law permits the FDA to determine whether it will extend its reach to related products.
In a government catalog of upcoming federal regulatory actions, called the Unified Agenda, the FDA lists October 2013 as the deadline for issuing a notice for proposing such rules.
The FDA has sent a proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget, seeking to expand its regulatory authority beyond cigarettes, Steven Immergut, a spokesman for the agency said in an e-mail Wednesday. "Their review will begin when the government shutdown ends," he said.
Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said everyone is watching to see precisely what the FDA has proposed.
"Sometimes OMB takes weeks and sometimes OMB sits on things for a very long time," he said in an interview. "I don't think this is something the OMB plans to sit on."
E-cigarette companies are on board with manufacturing standards and age restrictions while saying advertising limits shouldn't be on the table. VMR's Verleur said his company, which makes the V2 Cigs brand, and his competitors have asked the FDA for meetings to give their side of the argument.
"One thing that would be very bad is to lump us in with traditional cigarettes and apply some of the same standards," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The former acting intelligence director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Homeland Security Department has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for defrauding the government of more than $180,000.
James Woosley received the sentence Friday after pleading guilty to conversion of government money in May. Four other people have also pleaded guilty in the case, which involved fraudulent travel vouchers and attendance claims and cost ICE more than $500,000.
Prosecutors say that Woosley submitted phony paperwork for his travel and work, and took kickbacks from other employees.

need more HP!
Hey, my buddy was telling me about a chip that he had for his sierra that was untraceable when plugged into diagnostics. He said it gave him 30-40+HP. Does this exist?
I'm looking to do some HP mods but I'm not going to do anything thats really "involved" right now. Does anyone have any simple ideas for easy HP gains?

Most HP mods will void vehicle warranty if the mod is found to cause the problem - Be careful

05-29-2012, 04:19 PM #7That's not entirely accurate. Check out this (http://www.fullthrottleperformance.c..._warranty.html) explanation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------
Correct. The manufacturer has to be able to prove that your modification caused the factory part in question to fail.2004 2500HD Crew Cab LT 4x4 6.0L
No mods (yet). Just like God and GM made her.
05-29-2012, 05:00 PM #8My information came directly from speaking with a GM rep... I was inquiring about replacing the mechanical fan and a couple other mods. Off course they would have to prove it... But what extent will that be? Examples... Awe your transmission failed... They noticed you replaced the cooling fans... It easy to say you burned it out due to inadequate temp control. Your bearings or transfer case failed... We see you are running 35 inch tires... And your truck was originally equiped with 32's. It is up to the the dealership... What extent are they really going to go? It could be a battle.
05-29-2012, 09:28 PM #9I understand the point you are trying to make but saying "Most mods will void the warrantee that change it from the way the factory built sold as configuration" is just not even close to being true. There are tons of mods that are very unlikely to effect your warranty. For example... CAT back exhaust, cold air intake, shocks, LED lighting, etc...My Jeep Wrangler had 33s (31s were the stock tire) and Chrysler replaced a wheel bearing no questions asked.
05-29-2012, 09:48 PM #10I am just relaying what was said directly between me and the rep/tech His specific words were to me that any changes to the sold as configuration even it it were to improve the vehicle can and may void any warrantee. I understand that the cold air intake and exhaust are minor changes and most will overlook... But if that specific dealer were to be pricks one could be holding the bill. People just need to be aware of.this info when doing mods. Anyone can contact GM directly with any questions... Which they have a link on their website. They will contact you within 24 hrs.

Frank Kimmel was ecstatic after the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA Fall Classic on Saturday night at Salem Speedway.
But it was not because the Clarksville native finally broke the ARCA Racing Series' all-time wins record.
After being down a lap for a good part of the 200-lap race, Kimmel rallied to finish third and added 60 points to his lead in the ARCA standings. Kimmel now leads Mason Mingus, who is second in the standings, to 330 points. Mingus, a former Louisville resident, placed ninth on Saturday night.
Kimmel is trying to win his 10th series championship this season and took an important step toward that title on Saturday.
"Absolutely," Kimmel said when asked if he was glad to get the third-place finish. "If there were different circumstances, we would've been in big trouble. That's a great finish for us."
After qualifying third on Saturday afternoon, Kimmel ran in third place for a good portion of the first 50 laps. But after that, he began to lose the handle on his No. 44 Toyota. Kimmel got lapped by leader Kyle Weatherman on Lap 79 and faded all the way back to 14th place on the 90th circuit.
Kimmel was on the verge of going down a second lap before the caution flag came out on Lap 115 when Tom Hessert, who had won the last two Salem ARCA races, hit the wall.
"At the very first [of the race], [the car] was very good. I was pretty much all over the two top cars in front of me," said Kimmel, who was battling a loose condition in his car at that point in the race. "Then we started losing grip. We've fought that the last few races, where we cannot keep traction [in the tires]. It started getting worse and worse and worse. For a while there, it was really bad. We caught that caution that kept ourselves from going two laps down and that saved our butts.
"It was real, real loose. We really couldn't get forward bite and I was having a hell of a time getting off the turn. I was spinning the tires all the way down the straightaway. We've had that problem the last few races and I don't know what is quite going on yet. We've done everything we know to tighten it up and it is not tightening up."
Kimmel pitted for four times and a chassis adjustment, which was ordered by his crew chief, Jeriod Prince. The adjustment worked as Kimmel passed eventual winner Kyle Benjamin on the 138th lap to get his lap back and moved into sixth. But 34 laps later, the 15-year-old Benjamin, who is from Easley, S.C., caught back up to Kimmel and lapped the ARCA veteran between the third and fourth turns.
Kimmel got a major break with 25 laps to go when Las Vegas native Spencer Gallagher got into the wall in the short chute between Turns 3 and 4. Kimmel got back on the lead lap thanks to ARCA's "Lucky Dog" rule, where the first car a lap down under caution automatically returns to the lead lap.
After pitting to change two tires, Kimmel was fifth on the Lap 181 restart. He passed NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader for third place on Lap 189 and remained in that position the rest of the race.
"Luckily, we caught a caution again and got the 'Lucky Dog' and we were able to come back and get a third. It was a good day," Kimmel said. "On the last caution, we just put on two tires because that's all we had left. We made a little bit more of an adjustment. The car ran good for a few laps, but it was starting to free up again."
While it was good night for one member of the Kimmel family, the second Kimmel in the race had a disappointing outcome.
Sellersburg resident Will Kimmel wound up 12th after he was in third place on the final restart. On Lap 181, the younger Kimmel had a shifter linkage break in the transmission of his No. 69 Ford out of the Clarksville-based Kimmel Racing stable.
Will Kimmel said the car jumped out of fourth gear on five different occasions during the race. Frank Kimmel's nephew only had first and second gear at the end of the race.
"Tonight, I thought we had a car that could win the race and things didn't go our way again," said Will Kimmel, who also had to overcome a pit-road speeding violation during the race. "It's really disgusting that I've got to wait another year to try to win the fall race here at Salem. This is definitely the one I'm after and I really want it."
On the Lap 181 restart, Will Kimmel was behind Weatherman, who was leading at the time, and second-place Benjamin. Before the restart, Weatherman decided not to pit for tires, while Benjamin and the younger Kimmel each changed right-side tires.
Will Kimmel was confident he would have passed both drivers if it was not for the transmission problem.
"Yea, there is no doubt," said the Silver Creek High School graduate, who thanked two of his sponsors — Eddie Gilstrap Motors in Salem and Circle Track magazine — for their support.
Weatherman, who is 16, ended up second. Schrader finished fourth, while West Des Moines, Iowa, resident Mason Mitchell placed fifth. Henryville resident Darrell Basham wound up 15th.
ARCA's next race will be Friday at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Ky. It will be the series' first appearance at the mile-and-a-half oval since 2009.
Frank Kimmel is glad that Kentucky is back on ARCA's schedule as he will try to break his tie with ARCA legend Iggy Katona for the series' all-time victories mark. He has four career wins at Kentucky.
"It's great to go back to Kentucky and get to race there," Frank Kimmel said. "We didn't get to test there, but our mile-and-a-half program has been doing pretty good all year. I think we'll be a contender there and we'll race hard there, too."

Polling booths close for EP and Local Council elections
Polling booths across the Maltese Islands closed on Saturday at 2200 CET for the European Parliament election as well as Local Council elections in 23 localities.
Ballot boxes will shortly start arriving at the Naxxar counting hall formerly know as the Trade Fair Grounds, for the first phase of the counting procedure. Proper sorting and counting will not start before noon Sunday, following instructions from the European Parliament since these elections are being held in all 27 EU member states.
The European Parliament Elections are being held for the second time since Malta joined the EU in 2004. Five MEPs have to be elected while the first runner-up will have observer status and if confirmed by the Lisbon Treaty, will become the 6th MEP for Malta.
The approximate turnout of voters by 1400 CET stood at 34% for the European Parliament Elections, a decrease of 4% over the 2004 MEP elections. Meanwhile the approximate turnout for the Local Councils election in 23 localities stood at 33%, according to official figures released by the Electoral Commission. In 2004, 35% of voters had cast their vote by 1400 CET, although the localities were different.
Final turnouts will be published as soon as they are issued by the Electoral Commission.
It was a calm day at all localities except for an incident which happened outside Carlo Diacono secondary school where a Nationalist Party supporter was slightly injured following a scuffle beween political party enthusiasts. A number of people were arrested, the police said. Partit Laburista (PL) condemned the incident without reservations.
MaltaMedia will provide special election coverage starting Saturday, with particular emphasis on Sunday until the official result for the European Parliament Elections is announced. It has already launched a special election blogosphere and will provide an SMS breaking news service on Vodafone number 5090 2060.

Baltimore's pretentious restaurants
Richard has suggested a discussion of what we mean when we call a restaurant "pretentious" on this blog.
It's not good enough just to name Baltimore's fanciest places: There's a difference between a restaurant that serves excellent food in a formal manner and one that has pretentions it can't live up to or are unjustified or make the customer feel uncomfortable unnecessarily. ...
In other words, while name calling is fun, let's be more creative.
If a waiter corrects your pronunciation of Chateauneuf du Pape, that's pretentious. If the menu lists every ingredient and technique of a dish, using words many customers have never heard of, that's pretentious -- at least in Baltimore. If the waiter gives you attitude because you ask if the restaurant has ranch dressing, that's pretentious. (OK, we may have to rethink that last one.)
The most blatant example of pretentiousness I've ever run into is one I wrote about once before. It happened in California at a very nice restaurant with very good food. There were five of us at the table having an interesting conversation, and the head waiter interrupted us to name every ingredient on each plate as another server placed it in front of us. That said to me, "We think our food is more important than your conversation."
The food wasn't that good.
Anyway, here's Richard's e-mail -- not Other Reviewer Richard, by the way:
One thing I noticed about the comments on your blog is that folks often use the term pretentious to describe a restaurant. I would be interested in seeing a discussion of exactly what people think that means. It is clearly a derogatory term, and I know what the dictionary says, but I'd like to know specifically, whether it is some particular action or some particular thing said, that causes this term to be used. When used without some context, it always comes across to me to say more about the individual using the word than the restaurant it is meant to describe.
So, what particular traits make a Baltimore restaurant pretentious?

Wow, it looks like they fixed you up good. Lovely face you have. Which football team did you visit?
"Even the most simple of living organisms, such as single-celled bacteria, are typically under intense selective pressure to evolve a response to avoid a damaging environment, if such an environment exists. Self-preservation is therefore an almost universal hallmark of life." – Wikipedia
I managed to go through childhood and my teens pretty much unharmed, despite some reckless behaviour involving motocross riding among other things. Then something happened. In 2007 I broke my shinbone, where it connects with the ankle.
In 2010 I flew of my montain-bike going down-hill at 50km/h landing face first. I miraculously escaped with only a crushed upper jaw ridge, some dislocated teeth and a torn up face. Apparently over 5 hours of surgery and a few days in a hospital bed taught me nothing.
(sensitive viewers be advised before enlarging)
In May this year I managed to somehow tear the ligaments in my right hand ring finger, while surfing in England, leaving permanent damage. It should have ended here, it didn't.
A few days ago I went with a friend to American Football practice and hurt my arm during warm up. Being there for the first time I didn't think it was a good idea to start complaining so I fought through the practice best I could. When I came home I couldn't move my elbow and after a sleepless night I went to the doctor. Turns out I have a broken radial bone along with a sprained elbow. Strangely this incident has made me more interested in starting to play football, self-preservation is obviously an instinct I lack.

Remarks About White
GOULBURN, Wednesday.
Mr. P. Gupta, assistant manager of the Indian Hockey team, referred at a dinner last night to remarks he had made at Tamworth. He was a newspaperman himself, he said, and did not like to see a mountain made out of a molehill. The remarks, made by him In jest, had unfortunately been taken seriously.
The team, he declared, was not visiting Aus- tralia for sport alone, but to show that Indians were gentlemen and could behave as such.
[Speaking at Tamworth last week, in reply to a civic welcome, Mr. Gupta said that he hoped that more Indians would be permitted to come to Australia if necessary. This "all white" policy had never appealed to him. India being part and parcel of the British Empire, he said, there should not be any ban on its people entering any country under the Union Jack. The privilege of entering the country should not be reserved for sportsmen alone.]

I am very supportive of the authors who are publishing through Cooperative Press. I have knit a few double knitting projects. I think this book is great for a beginning double-knitter. I didn't see anything of interest in it for me. I wish I had seen this book 5 years ago, before I struggled through this on my own!

BoF: The Business of Blogging with Tommy Ton
Posted in The Symphony Style File on: 29/03/2011We love our Business of Fashion daily newsletter and felt so inspired by this Business of Blogging segment with Tommy Ton that we had to share it with you. Tommy discusses the inspirational journey which took him from his first fashion love (recording Fashion TV for his sister and being compelled by Tom Ford) to successfully carving a business out of blogging; sitting front row at Dolce & Gabbana, becoming BFF's with the influential fashion pack and creating a 'Tommy Ton / Jak & Jil' brand that makes his photos instantly recognisable….
The Business of Blogging
Tommy Ton
In our second installment of The Business of Blogging, we speak to the uber-talented Tommy Ton, founder of Jak & Jil and streetstyle photographer for Style.com and GQ.com
PARIS, France — "It was the summer of 1997 and I was 13 years old," recalls Tommy Ton, now 27, describing the moment when a self-professed comic book nerd from the suburbs of Toronto first became interested in fashion. "My sister asked me to record Fashion Television and all of a sudden Tom Ford comes on and talks about women, and his idea of feminity. He was so eloquent in his choice of words. It was love at first sight."
From that moment, Mr. Ton embarked on what has been described as a something of a fairytale, becoming the world's most influential street style fashion photographer today. But achieving such success is rarely that simple — or easy.
More than just a skilled photographer with a good eye and encyclopedic knowledge of fashion, Ton has proven himself to be a savvy digital operator with a potent mixture of ambition, work ethic and strategic thinking that has enabled him to discover and hone in on his special talent. His humility throughout it all has endeared him not only to the stylish women he has made famous, but also to fellow fashion bloggers and his growing list of paying clients.
Yes, Tommy Ton is building a business, and he's proud of it.
At first, Mr. Ton says he simply became infatuated with fashion. "I'd bike to the library, tear out ad campaigns, and make collages of Gucci and Versace," he explains over dinner during Paris Fashion Week. At age 15, he interned with the Toronto designer Wayne Clark and then in the women's accessories department of Holt Renfrew, Canada's leading luxury department store.
From the beginning, Ton has been a fervent but charming networker, not afraid to approach and build relationships with the industry's top players. "I made an effort so Barbara Atkin knew who I was," he says, referring to the Holt Renfrew's highly-respected fashion director. This ultimately landed him a gig in the store's buying office, furthering his understanding of the fashion business, but still not quite sating his fashion appetite.
"I was there in the Summer of 2004 when web magazines first started popping up," he says. Ton started taking classes in digital photography and met with friends who did graphic design, before deciding to start Jak & Jil, which was initially conceived in 2005 as a lifestyle website focused on the product and people in Toronto.
"Then my guardian angel came along," says Ton, referring to Lynda Latner, proprietor of vintagecouture.com. "She hired me because she saw my site and thought I could help her."
In 2007 when Latner offered to send Ton to Europe to attend the shows in London and Paris, he had his first opportunity to experiment with street photography during fashion week, a trend which was just beginning to take off due to the pioneering work of Scott Schuman and Garance Doré.
"My first show in Paris was Balmain. I had no idea what Balmain was at the time, or what it was going to be, but all the girls were in that that show, like Daria, Irina, and Anja, and they played the Cure on the soundtrack. As soon as that show was done, it was raining outside…and I was dancing in the rain. I just felt so uplifted. I could not believe what fashion could do for you," recalls Ton nostalgically. "To have that moment in Paris, at your very first show…it was magical."
Using his "Canadian connections," Ton also managed to get into Chanel, YSL, Dries van Noten and Rick Owens that first season. But in all the excitement, Ton says he didn't know who or what to shoot. "I just shot what I thought was visually amazing. I didn't know who Emmanuelle Alt was, or Kate Lanphear or even Anna Dello Russo."
Almost immediately after this first trip, the Canadian fashion media took note of Ton's photography, beginning with Flare magazine editor Lisa Tant. "Because of that trip, I got a page in Flare which gave me a validated reason to go back," he says.
By 2008 Ton was already seeking a way to stand out from the growing hordes of photographers outside the shows who were mostly aping Schuman's photographic style. "I thought, 'I'm so tired of taking head-to-toe shots. No one can touch Scott at those photos — he is the king.' I wanted my photos to stand out. That's when I stated taking the candid shots."
Ton's landscape-style images focused in on the little details that caught his well-trained fashion eye — a towering Louboutin stiletto here, a pop of colour there on his favourite subjects as they walked into the shows. He rarely asked them to pose. Ton was developing a photographic style that that has now become instantly recognisable as his own, capturing the raw energy and excitement of fashion week. Fellow blogger Tavi Gevinson later remarked, "You always know what a Tommy Ton photograph looks like."
He re-purposed Jak and Jil into a blog, and started posting two or three of his new style of photographs each day. This caught the attention of influential bloggers like Susanna Lau of Style Bubble and Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast, who helped to spread the word.
Two and half months later, Ton received an email from the head of marketing at Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, asking him to shoot their Spring/Summer 2009 campaign.
"I said yes, but I didn't even know what my worth was," says Ton. "After talking to my business friends in the industry, I threw a figure at Lane Crawford. It was a bit too much, but we negotiated, and I was proud of myself because I was able to get an amount that I was satisfied with and which they were willing to pay."
With his reputation spreading, Ton's confidence began to grow. "During the Fall/Winter 2009 season, people started to know who I was. Scott [Schuman] actually knew my work. I was officially blogging and shooting for Lane Crawford at the same time. That was the season I knew what I was doing, and I knew what I wanted to shoot. It was the beginning of something."
Another important shift came the following season in Milan, when Ton was seated in Dolce & Gabbana's front row, alongside Doré, Schuman and Bryanboy, an image that was plastered in the fashion media around the world, signalling the arrival of fashion bloggers. "That was a huge moment. It was all due to Anna Dello Russo. She was the one who told Domenico and Stefano: 'These are the people who are changing things.'"
From then on, the front row tickets came in fast and furious. Everyone wanted Ton to shoot at their shows, knowing his images would be seen by thousands of fashion enthusiasts and influencers around the world. The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and others came calling. "They were emailing to buy photos," he says.
Ton went from ultimate fashion outsider to insider almost overnight.
But the real turning point came a few weeks earlier when Style.com's editor-in-chief Dirk Standen asked Ton to step into the formidable shoes of Scott Schuman, whose own photography career had gone stratospheric, in no small part due to the platform given to him by Style.com. Schuman had decided to leave Style.com to focus on other projects, and Ton now had the most high-profile streetstyle photography gig in the business.
"Being associated with Style.com is a huge deal for me. It's what everyone looks at every day. People go to Style.com like you brush your teeth in the morning. It's something you just do," enthuses Ton.
By now, the time had come for Ton to seek professional representation. An introduction to elite agency The Collective Shift—which also represents top fashion photographers Inez and Vinoodh and super-stylist Melanie Ward—instantly felt like the right fit. Ton also signed on Trunk Archive to act as his image licensing agency, removing the burden of negotiating image rights and contracts on his own and dramatically increasing what he could earn from selling his images to the likes of American Vogue, Elle UK, and Vogue Nippon.
"Before, I was underselling myself, getting about $50-100 per image." Today, Ton reports that he can earn from as little as $100 up to $2000. "The the thing I've learned is that you have to really consider whether it's a one page image or a ½ page image or ¼ page image. It's a really big deal when it's one image over two pages in Grazia for example, whereas if it's ⅛ of a page in Vogue, it is much less. I'm lucky to have Trunk Archive to deal with all that now."
But image licensing only makes up about 30 percent of the revenue he earns. The remaining 70 percent comes from a variety of projects, including his gigs for Style.com, GQ.com, but also for retailers and brands such as Topshop, Selfridges, Sergio Rossi and Saks 5th Avenue.
Ton says he has made an intentional decision not to have advertising on his site. "It's an association with your brand. I didn't want my blog to be associated with any type of branding," he explains.
But would he ever take pay for editorial placement on Jak & Jil itself? "Yes," he says matter-of-factly. "But that requires a discussion between my agent, my client and me. The thing about the development of the Tommy Ton brand and the Jak & Jil brand is that everything is strategically selected and carefully monitored. We have to see potential growth in it, and understand what's in it for us."
When pressed on the criteria he uses for this kind of paid content, so as not to alienate his audience, he pauses to think. "It's definitely gut instinct. It just has to be of the moment and relevant for the time." His readers shouldn't be able to tell the difference, he says, because the images he creates would be the kind he would post anyway. The standards are the same, and the images are just as powerful.
All the same, Tommy Ton also realizes this is his moment and it may not last forever. "I don't even know if I will be able to earn the money I do now in a few years. I don't know if I will be relevant or not. I am just lucky that people want to associate with me and their brand right now."
And what about all that competition from the hundreds of streetstyle bloggers outside the shows? "You always have to stay on top of your game, and the only way to do that now is to have exclusive content," he asserts. Recently, Ton has been invited to shoot behind-the-scenes at the Proenza Schouler studio and the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
"I'm not making any money from it, but it gives me access no one else would have. I take a lot of pride in that. I am so, so happy I am invited to do these things," he says, recalling that 13 year old kid watching Tom Ford on TV back in Toronto. "In some ways I still feel like an outsider, even though I am acknowledged by these designers. I am still in awe of what is going on."

Each Monday we will feature our 'Song of the Week' from the our in-store Spring/Summer 2011 playlist at Symphony, The Dubai Mall
Lady into Cat: the short film by Willow for Spring/Summer 2011
Posted in The Symphony Style File on:Imagine the luxury of being able to stand still. To immerse yourself in the moment: to truly hear, smell, taste and see the world around you. To pause like a wild cat, be a majestic puma for longer than a moment, the mountain lion with senses so sharp she is the deadliest big cat in the world. Imagine feeling the earth beneath your feet, a breeze running across your skin, never again looking beyond the here and the now…
This season WILLOW has created a short film entitled Lady into Cat for the launch of its S/S 2011 collection. The inspirational work is about cherishing and respecting wild animals and the power of discovering the animal within us all.
"As we are not taking the collection to runway, due to my pregnancy and my inability to fly to New York, the film is an artistic expression highlighting the inspiration behind the new collection," says Kit Willow. "It's an alternative way to launch the collection, but it was also a wonderful opportunity to create an inspiring moving image."
Capturing the raw Australian landscape was paramount and highly significant for WILLOW's first moving image. Lady into Cat is directed by international fashion photographer Sharif Hamza who created Dior Homme's film The White Room. Hamza's work has been published in French and Russian Vogue, Dazed & Confused and LOVE.
Lady into Cat was styled Melanie Huyhn, of French Vogue, and stars Australian model Emma Balfour.
"Emma embraced the concept and, thankfully, the wild puma. Magically she was able to make a very special connection with this beautiful creature," says Willow.
The Willow Spring/Summer 2011 Collection is available at Symphony, Ground Floor Fashion Avenue, The Dubai Mall, T: 04 330 8050 now

Posted in The Symphony Style File on: 21/03/2011SYMPHONY LAUNCHES THE NEW SPRING/SUMMER 2011 SEASON WITH AN EVENT WHICH MARRIES ART, PHILANTHROPY AND FASHION
Yesterday at 7pm sharp, Symphony, The Dubai Mall revealed the new VM creative campaign in collaboration with local Emirati artist, Moaza Matar. The installation, which features two spectacular windows and "pop up" sketches throughout the store, was created to compliment the new Spring/Summer 2011 creative campaign, forming a multimedia in-store installation – The Garden of Symphony: Spring/Summer 2011.
SYNOPSIS The Garden of Symphony: Spring/Summer 2011 invites you to experience Symphony's new creative campaign shoot in a completely unique way. Two hero shots from the new campaign featuring ready-to-wear from Luisa Beccaria and Richard Nicoll are deconstructed and presented through three dimensional paintings consisting of three levels contrasting with a monochromic background.
Using canvas, paper laser-cut 3D butterflies, flowers and the actual dresses; artist Moaza Matar has transformed our store windows into a symphony of nature and art – the dresses feel as if they have been brought to life. They are asking you to wear them.
CONCEPT Springtime serves as the magnificent evolution from winter to summer; symbolising rebirth, renewal and regrowth. All of nature dances in the sun's tenderness. As the length of daylight rapidly increases, as do our spirits; anything seems possible – a sense of warmth and opportunity is tapping at the door.
In the same way that spring represents new life and chance; as does the butterfly – just when the caterpillar though its world was over it was reborn and became a beautiful butterfly. Symphony has been transformed into a majestic garden of finery for all to enjoy… let the sun shine!

This is the only bolted route on the upper tier of Jug Dome and is the most obvious and unique line. It follows bolts up a wide groove in the center of the face, which can be climbed using all manner of technique, from crystal crimping to chimneying. The bolts end at a ledge from where one can rappel from a 2-bolt anchor, but we continued left and up easier ground to the summit, after which we walked off to the west. A word of caution: my partner Chad broke a hold before clipping the first bolt. Like other routes at this newly-climbed crag, you should test all holds before committing to them.
8 quickdraws, 2 bolt anchor.
This climb has a bit of a difficult start and has sharp holds that will rip your hands apart. When you get down, there is a walk down if you don't want to rappel down to the very bottom by Law School. This walk down is the worst one I've ever seen, very confusing unless you want to jump off a cliff. We went all the way down to the road because we couldn't figure out where to go. It is a good climb though, has a chimney that's very thin but fun.
A fun route, something different. Watch the rock quality however, as not all the holds can be trusted. I had one hold come off in my hand. It was just layers of mica flaking apart. Be careful.
I felt that the opening of this was harder than 5.8. I think that a few holds have broken off making this trickier. Once above the first bolt, it's all good though. Pretty fun route.

David A. Zubik was born Sept. 4, 1949, in Sewickley, PA. He attended St. Paul Seminary, Pittsburgh, and St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, and was ordained a priest May 3, 1975. He was appointed titular bishop of Jamestown and auxiliary bishop of Pittsburgh on Feb. 18, 1997 and ordained to the episcopacy April 6, 1997.
Robert J. Banks was born Feb. 26, 1928, in Boston. He studied at the Gregorian University and the Lateran University in Rome and was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston, Dec. 20, 1952.

A Lockport Street pedestrian walkway over the DuPage River that's expected to better connect the east and west sides of Plainfield's downtown is nearing completion.
The $1 million project to erect a walkway on the existing street bridge will better link both sides of downtown, officials say, and will include lights and an observation point above the river.
"The bridge was dangerous for people with strollers and bicycles to commute between downtown and the west side," Mayor Mike Collins said Tuesday. "This connects our east and west."
But the project, funded largely by a state grant and awarded to Coal City-based D Construction last summer, was supposed to be completed in December, Collins said.
"We were led to believe it would be done by December 2012," Collins said Tuesday. "But the work just dredged on, if you will. We're at the second of July and it's still not complete."
Representatives from D Construction declined to comment.
The bridge's foundation had to be widened as part of the project, village engineer Scott Threewitt said, and included installing piers in the river.
There were some utility issues that had to be addressed by the town at one point during the project, accounting for some of the delay, Threewitt said.
Plainfield had to spend more than $100,000 to move an overhead power line away from the bridge before construction crews could continue work, he said.
The bridge is open to pedestrians now, Threewitt said, but lighting and landscaping work around the bridge still needs to be completed.
Threewitt said that should happen in the next month or so.
"We had a winter that also played into things," he said of the delays. "They had to stop work during the winter because there are some activities they can't complete."
Collins said it was "quite an achievement" to secure the grant from the state, making it an even more bitter pill to swallow when the work wasn't completed on time.
"I was just very disappointed in their completion," he said. "I know there were some hold backs waiting for electrical, waiting for weather, but they had quite a long time to complete this. It's dragged on too long."
Collins said the village has sent a letter to the company expressing their disapproval, and that the two sides will meet next week to discuss the concerns.
Once the lights are installed and the landscaping is done, the bridge will be "quite an attraction," Collins said.
"It looks wonderful," he said.
The town might reappraise its bidding process in light of the delay, Collins said.
"This project is a million dollars," he said. "It's not chicken feed."

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - More information released in the investigation of a former Ouachita Sheriff's deputy accused of stealing fine money.
A new report, released by the Louisiana Legislator Auditor's, shows Lakeisha Ford-Norris altered records to hide the theft of $75,000. Ford-Norris was arrested earlier this year. She's accused of stealing money from fines paid at the tax office by giving people financial credit for time served.
Ford-Norris worked at the sheriff's office for nine years.
Deputies say they're now moving forward with the prosecution process.

Fastfind PLB activation results in rescue of UK adventurer
- Details
- Published on Monday, 18 June 2012 16:48
Fast Find has saved the life of a British adventurer, who was successfully rescued in the North Pacific, after activating her McMurdo Fast Find Personal Locater Beacon (PLB) on the 7th June. 27 year old Oxford Graduate, Sarah Outen was attempting to become the first woman to row solo from Japan to Canada, as part of a two and a half year expedition to complete a loop of the planet using only human power. Sarah was 560 miles from the coast of Japan when her 23ft ocean rowing boat, Gullivar, was hit by tropical storm, Mawar. High winds and rough seas caused Gulliver to capsize.With the boat damaged and water seeping in, Sarah took the decision to activate her PLB.
Coastguards in Falmouth, Cornwall received the distress signal from the PLB, and helped to co-ordinate the rescue by passing information to the Japenese Coastguards within minutes of the device being activated. Having fast access to this information is vital in the early stages of any search and rescue mission in order to identify the exact position the signal is coming from, the owner of the distress beacon, their vessel type (if applicable), and their emergency contact information. The Japanese Coastguards were able to pinpoint Sarah's location, before implementing a fast and successful rescue.
Sarah Outen says: "I carried two McMurdo emergency beacons on board my rowing boat - the EPIRB mounted outside, was lost during the storm, but the PLB kept in my cabin proved instrumental in my safe pick up from the ocean by the Japan Coast Guard. I carry a PLB on all my expedition legs - it is small and light and so easy to carry along whether I am on my bike or kayak or in the rowing boat. Out solo in remote places and challenging conditions, it is essential in my mind to carry a PLB or EPIRB. I am grateful to McMurdo for their support of my expedition". <p >The Fast Find 220 is a powerful distress beacon, which provides a direct method of alerting the search and rescue authorities where no other forms of communication are available, using the 406 MHz search and rescue satellite communication system, COSPAS SARSAT*. As well as sending out a distress signal by satellite, the 220 also transmits a 121.5MHz homing signal.
Waterproof to 10 metres and able to operate in temperatures as low as -20˚,once activated using a simple three-stage activation function the 220 will transmit continuously for a minimum of 24 hours at a powerful 5 watt output. The beacon is also small in size weighing just 150g and measuring D34mm x W47mm x L106mm, and features an LED flash light to assist with rescues at night or during limited visibility.
