Pioneer Goods Co.
Store Profile
Lovers of old objects have a kindred spirit in Justin Power. His South End shop, Pioneer Goods, feels like walking into a rustic New England cabin full of treasures from bygone eras. Having grown up antiquing, Justin has an amazing eye for quality pieces worth restoring. While some of his finds show up with that perfect patina, Justin works wonders on others to recreate that aged elegance.
Matteo: The Most Luxurious Bedding I've Found
So, I've got this client. He's a single guy in finance with a BIG budget, and he really needs to upgrade his large SoHo apartment so that it doesn't look like a dorm room anymore. We stain the floors, repaint and buy beautiful, sophisticated furniture that he will be able to keep with him for years. But when it comes to the bedding, I don't want to present him with overpriced Italian sheets or anything feminine. I want masculine. I want modern. I want luxury.
In looking around I stumble into a cool shop called Environment Furniture next to ABC Home (pics above and below). The bedding on their beds is just what I want. It's dark. It's got crazy, luxurious textures in linen, cotton, cashmere and alpaca. I ask them who makes it. They say MATTEO. I ordered three bedding sets for my client the next day.
Matteo is a find. If you've got some money to burn, this small Los Angeles company will serve you really well. Founded by Matthew Lenoci in 1996 (a Harvard grad in 1989), the idea behind Matteo is straight ahead: to "create simple sheets from the most luxurious textiles in the world. "
Matteo has three lines, Matteo, Due and Guest, with fabric woven in Italy and sewn in LA. We don't care for the third, Due is more affordable and sold by our friends at Design Public (at lunch with the Matteo crew below), and Matteo is the nicest. The sheets come in heavy 100% cotton and linen, always garment washed, with a couple really, really saturated colors (and white of course).
There are many add-ons, such as bed skirts, duvets, shams, quilts, and really beautiful blankets and throws. The easiest way to order is through their site, and don't be surprised if it takes awhile to arrive (ours did too). Everything is sewn next to their design studio and arrives in individual cotton bags. The attention to detail is very nice.
And as for our client, while we can't show pictures (yet) it certainly doesn't look like a dorm room anymore...
Best, Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan

Store Profile
After an inspiring trip to Bali, Caroline returned to Brooklyn and her paintings started to take the form of textiles. At first she just made gifts for friends and family, but before long she started getting orders from some of her favorite stores and her company was born. Now she sells worldwide and works exclusively with a cooperative of Guatemalan artisans in New Bedford, Massachusetts who print each piece by hand.
Eva Zeisel Originals
Store Profile
Hungarian-born industrial artist Eva Zeisel was one of the masters of midcentury modernism and her work has a distinctive organic and timeless sensuality. While she's perhaps best known for her work in ceramics, she also designed furniture, rugs, and home accessories. Though pieces can be purchased at places like Crate & Barrel and Design Within Reach, the online retail store Eva Zeisel Originals, which was launched by her grandson, Adam, offers the complete line of Century and 101 ceramics, her iconic tableware, as well as furniture and home accessories.
Interior Define
Store Profile
- Location: Chicago and Online
- Website: interiordefine.com
Store History
- Founded by: Rob and Steve
- Headquarters: Chicago, Illinois
For years, we aspired to name-brand luxury furniture beyond our reach. The alternatives were mass-produced, uninspired, or "value" - with pieces that literally wouldn't hold up. Faced with these options, we decided to craft our own approach. Built on a foundation of authentic relationships, nothing stands between our maker's craftsmanship and the affordability we can uniquely pass along to you.
Nell & Mary
Store Profile
In 2012, Krista Stovel, Leah Stovel and Avery Bloom founded Nell & Mary with the mission to create a home goods collection with a refined, unique aesthetic, while remaining environmentally and socially conscious. Every piece in the line is cut, sewn and screenprinted in their studio/micro-factory in Portland, Oregon. All printed artwork is original to their studio, and they source materials which are either "rescued" (deadstock) or organic, and screenprint with water based inks.
Store Profile
According to my friend Pomme, the litmus test on whether a guy is boyfriend material or just a one night stand kind of guy depends on his choice of art. "Basically, if he's got the James Dean poster or the Marlon Brando shot, his expiration date is the morning." While I try not to judge quite so harshly, she does have a point: if your walls are still sporting those particular iconic black and whites (Audrey Hepburn from IKEA also fits in here), it's time for an upgrade. While the Library of Congress archives are one source for awe-inspiring photographs, you can make it easy on yourself and head straight for Archivast.
Oomph Furniture: Bring a Little Oomph Into Your Home
Best Shops
When it comes to bringing a fresh look into our homes, most of us don't want to do over the whole space — we're just looking to do something that will add a little, well, oomph to our place. And that's exactly the thinking behind Oomph, a home accessories and case goods brand that is sold online and through a select group of stores (House of Honey, Lotus Blue, Gracious Home, Tracker Home Decor and F Gerald New Home are some places to find it). Founders Amy Rice, Patty Hopple and Louise Brooks came up with the notion that there are three things that can totally transform any room (besides paint!): occasional tables (that can be customized in your favorite hue), slipcovered chairs, and colorful pillows.

Top 10 Rules for Growing a Kitchen Garden10 photos
Growing fruits and vegetables isn't rocket science, but it does involve science. Here are easy tips to help ensure your success in growing food in the garden.
Find the Sun
Most vegetables want six hours of direct sun a day — and more if they can get it. Exceptions include lettuce and radishes, which can get by with less.

Rifle's government affairs coordinator of five years is leaving his post in December to take a job with the Front Range city of Littleton.
Mike Braaten will become Littleton's deputy city manager early next year, and he said the job will involve many of the same responsibilities he took on during his time in Rifle.
"It will involve seeking grants, acquisition and management, community relations, and state government relations," he said. "My wife has also been commuting to Grand Junction for the last year for work, and has been interested in moving back to the Front Range."
During his time in Rifle, Braaten secured and managed many grants for the city, including an $806,000 federal transportation planning grant and grants for several renewable energy projects.
He also worked with a coalition of city government officials from across the state to increase the share of federal mineral lease payments granted to local governments. Such payments are meant to offset the impacts of oil and gas drilling.
"We were able to make the formula more favorable to the communities where the natural gas is coming from," he said.
Braaten also instituted the Rifle Bucks program, an effort to boost the local economy by issuing currency that could be used only at local businesses during the holiday shopping season.
Yet Braaten said he is most proud of advocating for Rifle at the state level.
"A lot of what we've done is being able to increase people's knowledge of Rifle on the Front Range, obtain some notoriety for the community and everything they are doing," he said.
As registered lobbyist, Braaten once worked for the Colorado Municipal League, a group that lobbies state government on behalf of local interests.
And according to Rifle City Manager John Hier, inter-governmental relations was an area where Braaten excelled.
"He was very good at being a liaison between the city and other forms of government," Hier said. "He has done a terrific job for the city."
Hier said he will meet soon with the Rifle City Council to discuss replacing Braaten, who was paid close to $90,000 per year by the city.
"I think its going to be a bit of a task to find someone with the same qualifications," Hier said.
Although he looks forward to getting back to the Front Range, Braaten said he will miss Rifle's small-town atmosphere, as well as the access to nature that living here provides.
"We'll still have that, it will just be a little bit longer of a drive," he said.

Those turned out really nice Quicksilver.
hi all,
i joined a while ago and have been playing with the tutorials available here and this is the map i've spent the most time with. i mostly used saderan's tutorial v1.03 and photoshop mapping with chuck to make this one. i did pretty much everything in photoshop (and wilbur from chuck's tutorial) and then added the roads and cities with illustrator. i'm not really sure where to take it now. i've started some other maps as well but this one is my favorite so far.
Those turned out really nice Quicksilver.
Those look very nice! Well done!

Radiohead star Thom Yorke's supergroup Atoms for Peace staged a surprise concert for fans in Texas after storms prompted promoters to scrap their Austin City Limits festival appearance on Sunday.
Heavy rain and flash flooding warnings left organizers of the event with no choice but to cancel the final day of the festival – and sets from the National, Franz Ferdinand, Phoenix and Lionel Richie.
But Yorke and his bandmates refused to let the bad weather wreck their trip to Texas and they decided to play a surprise concert in town the same night they were due to take the ACL stage.
The 15-song concert was posted on the band's website on Tuesday.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
The Department of Revenue administers Tobacco Taxes on cigarettes, other tobacco products (OTP), cigarette papers and snuff.
Effective August 1, 2013, the distribution of untaxed tobacco products without first obtaining a license from the Department of Revenue (DOR) is prohibited. The annual fee for a tobacco distributor license designation is $500. A resident wholesaler, nonresident wholesaler, or subjobber may also obtain and maintain a distributor's license at each place of business at no additional cost each year. An unclassified acquirer may also obtain and maintain a distributor's license for the privilege of selling tobacco products in this state for an additional $450. The DOR may, upon application, grant a distributor's license to a person other than a retailer who is not otherwise required to hold a distributor's license.
Retailers are prohibited from buying untaxed tobacco products unless the retailer is a licensed retail distributor who directly pays the applicable excise tax on its purchase price of tobacco products to the DOR. The annual fee for this license designation is $100. Only retailers that choose to purchase tobacco products from distributors not licensed with the DOR must apply and receive the retail distributor license. This new license designation is now included on the revised Application for Cigarette and Tobacco Product Licenses (Form 73A181). A single license will cover each eligible retailer for all locations designated by the retailer on its license application.
Click here for a list of 2015-16 Tobacco Products Distributors.
Please call the DOR's Tobacco Tax Section at (502) 564-6823 with any additional questions.
Tobacco Products, Snuff, and Chewing Tobacco – Effective August 1, 2013
Tobacco products, other than snuff and chewing tobacco, are taxed at the rate of 15 percent of the actual price for which the distributor sells the product. Retail distributors are taxed at 15 percent of their total purchase price of the untaxed tobacco products.
"Tobacco products" means any smokeless tobacco products, smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, and any kind or form of tobacco prepared in a manner suitable for chewing or smoking, or both, or any kind or form of tobacco that is suitable to be placed in an individual's oral cavity, but does not include cigarettes or reference cigarettes.
Snuff is taxed at the rate of 19 cents per each 1-1/2 ounces or portion thereof by net weight. The term "snuff" means tobacco that is finely cut, ground, or powdered and is not for smoking. Snuff includes snus and dry snuff. For dry snuff, this change in classification and tax rate is effective August 1, 2013.
"Chewing tobacco" means any leaf tobacco that is not intended to be smoked and includes loose leaf chewing tobacco, plug chewing tobacco, and twist chewing tobacco, but chewing tobacco does not include snuff. Chewing tobacco is taxed at the following rates: a) 19 cents per each single unit (net weight less than 4 ounces) sold. For retail distributors, the tax is levied on purchases of untaxed chewing tobacco at the same rate.b) 40 cents per each half-pound unit (net weight of at least 4 ounces but not more than 8 ounces) sold. For retail distributors, the tax is levied on purchases of untaxed chewing tobacco at the same rate.c) 65 cents per each pound unit (net weight of at least 8 ounces but not more than 16 ounces) sold. For retail distributors the tax is levied on purchases of untaxed chewing tobacco at the same rate.d) If the container, pouch, or package on which the tax is levied contains more than 16 ounces by net weight, the rate that shall be applied to the unit shall equal the sum of 65 cents plus 19 cents for each increment of 4 ounces or portion thereof exceeding 16 ounces sold. For retail distributors the tax is levied on purchases of untaxed chewing tobacco at the same rate.
Tobacco products, snuff, and chewing tobacco will be reported on the Monthly Report of Tobacco Products, Snuff, and Chewing Tobacco – Form 73A422. The due date of the return is the 20th day of the month following the month in which the transactions occur.
The tax rate on packs of 20 cigarettes is 60 cents (proportionate rate for packs of 25).
The cigarette tax is paid through the purchase of stamps from the Department of Revenue. These stamps must be affixed to each package of cigarettes as evidence that the tax was paid.
Cigarette Tax Laws are located in Chapter 138 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
KRS 131.610 requires the Department of Revenue to provide a directory of all participating manufacturers and non-participating manufacturers that have been certified by the Attorney General as being in compliance with the Master Settlement Agreement and Model Act. The Department of Revenue will update the directory to add or remove a tobacco manufacturer or brand family that does not meet certification requirements as determined by the Attorney General. The Department of Revenue will notify wholesalers/distributors when there have been changes to the directory.
NOTE: Pursuant to KRS 131.612, it shall be unlawful for any wholesaler/distributor to affix a stamp to a package or other container of cigarettes or distribute such cigarettes of a tobacco product manufacturer or brand family not included in the directory. Unlawfully stamped cigarettes will be considered contraband in the hands of the wholesaler/distributor and will be subject to seizure and destruction. Civil or criminal penalties may also be pursued against the wholesaler/distributor.
Cigarettes and "roll your own" tobacco that have been removed from the directory are considered contraband and will be subject to seizure and destruction even if a stamp had been applied.
If you have any questions concerning the Tobacco Taxes please Email the Department of Revenue.
If you have questions concerning the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA), certification or brands, please Email the Office of the Attorney General.

Gene Sloan, USA TODAY
Yet another Carnival Cruise ship is experiencing a technical issue.
Carnival says the 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend today is having a problem with one of its Azipod propulsion units that is affecting the vessel's sailing speed.
The Carnival Legend's "hotel" operations including lighting, air conditioning and toilets are working fine, but the vessel will miss its scheduled call today in Grand Cayman due to a reduced speed, the company says in a statement issued early Friday
The incident comes just a day after technical problems grounded the 3,646-passenger Carnival Dream in Philipsburg, St. Maarten and a little more than a month after an engine room fire left the 2,758-passenger Carnival Triumph dead in the water in the Gulf of Mexico. Both ships are now out of service for repairs.
The Carnival Legend is in the midst of a seven-day Western Caribbean cruise out of Tampa that began on Sunday and had been scheduled to include calls in Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico as well as Grand Cayman. With its speed reduced, the ship is now heading directly home to Tampa in lieu of the scheduled Grand Cayman stop, the line says. It's expected to arrive in Tampa on Sunday as scheduled.
Carnival says passengers on the Carnival Legend will receive a $100 per person credit as compensation for the missed Grand Cayman call as well as a refund of any pre-purchased shore excursions. Passengers also will receive 50% off a future Carnival cruise.
Passengers on the Carnival Dream are being flown home from St. Maarten today and Saturday, and the line has canceled the next sailing of the vessel scheduled to begin on Saturday. Carnival on Thursday said a backup generator on the Carnival Dream malfunctioned Wednesday during a routine test while the ship was in port and needs to be repaired.

The HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Networks was created by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to develop and conduct clinically relevant, scientifically sound, interdisciplinary and cost-efficient HIV/AIDS research in the following areas: (1) Vaccine Research and Development; (2) Translational Research/Drug Development; (3) Optimization of Clinical Management, Including Co-Morbidities; (4) Microbicides; (5) Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (MTCT) of HIV; and (6) Prevention of HIV Infection.
The research studies will be conducted by Clinical Trials Units at sites that reach populations most affected or threatened by the HIV/AIDS epidemic both here in the U.S. and abroad. The Penn Prevention Clinical Trials Unit (PPCTU) was selected in late 2006 as a site to conduct Vaccine clinical trials. The main focus of our work is to identify high risk populations in the Philadelphia area and seek their participation in Network clinical trials. Another goal of our work is to serve as a community resource and educate participants and local communities about HIV/AIDS and related clinical research studies.

Always something new to see in the tank.

My grandfather was on his last weeks with his battle with lung cancer. We took him to the aquarium of the Pacific, and I was touched by how much enjoyment a dying man got from watching the fish. I started up my nano with the hopes of setting it up for him, but time ran out.

My fiance and I were bouncing around on the net pricing stuff for a 75 gallon freshwater setup. We found Petsolutions website and saw the JBJ nano cube, at which point we became interested in a reef tank. I've kept marine fish before, had a 30L fowdcs ( fish only with dead coral skeletons) but never a reef tank. After a few more google searches on the nanocube we found this site. It's been full speed ahead ever since. We now have a 30g oceanic cube, 175 watt mh lighting that should be up and running in a month. Sometimes I think she's more into it than me, she even bought me a book on marine inverbrates for Valentines day.

It was quite a few years ago i wanted to start a reef but didnt have the money so i was wondering if i could start a small one and the research has been going on from then. This site is just the best that i have ever seen on small reef tanks (Nano).
Posted 09 March 2005 - 09:10 PM
Is it just me or are half of the people on this thread answering how they got into nano reefs, and the other half answering how they found this site. I voted other on how I got into nano reefs, just because I just wanted a saltwater tank, and I didn't wanna spend $600 and find out I didn't like it. So I went cheap and slowly went more expensive as I liked it more. How I found nano-reef.com was from a pm from a friend of mine in our local club's forum.

I started off with asian arowanas, but then it got boring and I couldn't do much but feed them, then I saw a nano cube at a LFS and was amazed

my wife made me make her one, " baby, set me up a tank like that " its thoes darn eyes
Posted 08 August 2005 - 09:15 AM
That "Marine Aquarium" ScreenSaver from Seren Screen got me. My boss had a copy of it and he let me load it onto my office computer. That was probably the worst move he could have made. I spent more time staring at my stupid monitor than actually doing my work. After a few days, I knew I had to have a real reef.
Posted 09 August 2005 - 01:25 AM
I had a small tank laying around and thought "that'd make a cute little marine tank" Then someone mentioned it was called a nano reef and I googled

- One of IBM's clients, Bill Broughton, from Amtrak, kicked off the conference today, telling the crowd of clients, business partners (and yes, a few IBMers), this is "OUR conference."
- Our event host, Scott Hebner, Vice President, Worldwide Marketing, IBM Software - Tivoli, reiterated that thought, but from the opposite perspective, telling the crowd that "this is YOUR conference." 85% of the sessions at Pulse 2011 feature client speakers, and the ability to network and share best practices is more important than ever. "It's not just about technology any more...it's about the economic value that technology brings."
- Next came Madge Meyer, from State Street, who talked about the importance of innovating - and of executing flawlessly. She even quoted Charles Darwin, which I thought was particularly apropos: "It is not the strongest that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one who is the most responsive to change."
- Madge was followed by Dr. Danny Sabbah, General Manager, IBM Tivoli, who talked about how the world (business, government, society) is facing an unparalleled rate of change. Companies need the velocity and agility to adapt quickly - and the basis of this will be producing honest data that is transformed by predictive analytics to produce smarter outcomes. And he reminded the crowd that IBM needs to move as fast as they do.
- Steve Mills, Senior VP and Group Executive Software & Systems, IBM, introduced the crowd - and the rest of the world - to the new era of Smarter Computing. He reminded us that IT operating costs is the core issue faced by clients around the world...and although there's significant increase on IT demands, IT budgets are flat. We need to fundamentally transform the economics of IT...and that is Smarter Computing. A couple of straight talk points: IT consolidation is pretty much a given. Get rid of excess IT Now. And he offered arguably the best quote of the morning: "People say stupid crap every day...you have to decide what to listen to."
- And finally, Dean Kamen, Innovator and Entrepreneur, wowed the crowd with his talk about innovation and FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Technology). He described innovation as being failure, failure, failure...followed by surprise after surprise (mostly bad)...but every once in a while, you get a good surprise in there, too. I really enjoyed his story about Chuck and the DARPA prosthetic arm (got a little misty eyed, I must admit). And I was especially moved by his FIRST initiative and his absolute passion for turning science/math into a sport - making it something that you have passion for, that is aspirational, and that you want to participate in. Being a female and being a computer science major (and still often being the only female in a room of techies), that hit home with me. I was also proud to see my alma mater, Georgia Tech, was a sponsor of FIRST. Again, as he talked about the success of FIRST through the years, the eyes got a little teary.

Dateline: Boca Raton, Florida - February 28, 2011 - 11:00 am
Whew! What a great way to start! I encourage you to watch the Day One General Session in its entirety at your convenience - and to tune into the Day Two General Session tomorrow morning. My experience with Livestream is that that the technology was practically flawless (I only had one minor audio glitch when Dean Kamen was showing the Stephen Colbert video). Otherwise, the livestreaming went along perfectly. And it will well be worth your while to watch the whole session. It will get your mind thinking, and it will inspire you at the same time. Plus, it's like having a front-row seat!
You can view the full Pulse Livestream agenda on the Pulse web site. Take advantage and enjoy!

Heresy, you say? Nooooo...I just wanted to get the word out about two new solutions that are aimed at small and mid-sized companies, so I thought I'd try something different. Hopefully, I got your attention!
Most businesses, regardless of size, are challenged with achieving more business value from less IT infrastructure. Small and mid-sized companies need service management, too! To this end, IBM has two new solutions for organizations that are looking for faster, simpler IT problem resolution:
Both are easy to install, configure, and utilize—true turnkey appliances for quick time-to-value and ROI.
These solutions epitomize what IBM means by "smart business": instead of simply more infrastructure, the goal should be more efficient, cost-efficient, and business-prioritized utilization of the infrastructure. For small and mid-market organizations with limited staffing and funding, that's very smart indeed.
You can learn more by reading the article IBM Appliances: Smarter IT for Small, Mid-Market Organizations.
Oh, btw, there are many sessions at Pulse that are relevant for small and mid-market organizations, so if you're going, you'll find lots to keep you busy, informed and entertained - and lots to bring back to your organization when you get back from Vegas. (You know I had to give Pulse a shout-out somehow).

Smarter Than The Average Building

I hadn't seen this yesterday, otherwise I would have linked to it in my post yesterday ("Pulse 2011 Trailer: IBM Smarter Buildings Solutions").
Dave Bartlett, Vice President of Industry Solutions (IBM Software Group), wrote an article for Forbes titled, "Our Office Buildings Are Talking To Us; Time To Start Listening."
Dave not only gets to the heart of why this matters, (Buildings are a significant line item on any company's expense sheet. In fact, for many, they are second-largest expense, after payroll. On average, buildings consume 42% of all electricity worldwide.") but also how to start solving the problem.
Here's a hint: it rhymes with - Intstrumented, Intelligent and Interconnected. (but we call it Smarter Buildings).
At Pulse, Smarter Buildings is a subtrack of Enterprise Asset Management (Stream 2) and there is a ped in the Expo Center (16) specific to Smarter Buildings as well as a ped for IBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management (42) (both in Enterprise Asset Management).
Also, here's a good rollup of some previous press releases IBM has done on Smarter Buildings and here's the link to the Smarter Planet page.
Being 'IBM Client References Specialist for TIVOLI': 'I-LOV-IT'
Shradha Pradhan 270003G608 email@example.com Tags:  integrated-service-manage... pulse-2011 tivoli client-reference-program 2 Comments 3,591 Visits
Yes, I love being one of the ambassadors for IBM's Client Reference Program, a structured platform that gives our valued Clients many opportunities to promote their unique capabilities and stand tall in the, otherwise very competitive, market. IT revolution, ease of internet, change in consumer behavior etc have all added to this competitiveness.
While I write this blog, the two things that I had studied, during school days in Biology, are shouting aloud from my mind; one, Darwin's 'Survival of the Fittest' and two, 'legume-rhizobial symbiosis'. Interestingly, these biological phenomenon do have real examples in economics too. A symbiotic relationship with clients/peers, thus, is 'very' crucial in surviving the Darwinian marketplace. And, what better way than registering for IBM's Client Reference Program? :-)
For me, it's great being a Client Reference Specialist for Tivoli. Working in collaboration to create Reference Profiles for our Clients has brought in a lot of advantages. Networking opportunities with my fellow IBMers, Business Partners and Clients from across industries is just a 'cake', but the real 'icing' is my continuous learning about IBM's Tivoli software for 'Integrated Service Management' that "provides smarter solutions and the expertise you need to design, build and manage a dynamic infrastructure that enables you to improve service, reduce cost and manage risk." Yes, I'm always in an awe of how IBM's Tivoli solutions have helped our Clients overcome their challenges.
PS: Rebecca Wissinger in her blog 'IBM Client Activities at Pulse 2011' talks about the ways IBM is saying THANK YOU to our immensely valued, extraordinary Clients at Pulse 2011. If you are attending Pulse 2011 then you will not give her blog a miss.

A Few Links And Tips For Your Pulse Planning
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  pulse-2011 social-media ibm-pulse pulse 1,730 Visits
The funny thing about growing up in South Florida is that one minute it's bright as day. Not a cloud in the sky. Then the next minute it's pouring rain for about 15 minutes. Then it's back to sunny.
That is how I would describe attending any conference. Quiet. Busy busy busy. Then back to normal.
To help you with your prep, I wanted to call out a few items of interest (including some good social media tips).
You Are Here: Industry Session Roadmaps
If you follow the Pulse blog, you'll know that I posted about these last Thursday.
They are awesome. Pick your industry and we have a list of the sessions that might interest you.
We also have a QR code for these roadmaps that will be displayed in a few places should you want to point your mobile phone to them.
All Clients, All The Time
Rebecca Wissinger and her team have a ton of cool things going on for our clients at Pulse.
She posted on the Pulse blog about them last week.
I think my favorite thing here is the Client Connections where we can help match you with other clients who have done what you're looking to do.
Virtual Simulator: Experience It And Then See The Game
David Ojalvo posted about the simulator workshop on Sunday, the Integrated Service Management Simulator Overview breakout sessions and the ISM Virtual Simulator ped in the Best Practices Zone.
David, along with a number of folks on the team (myself included) will be at the ped to answer questions and show off the game.
Business Partners
Our team will also have a table in the Business Partner Cafe, specifically to talk about Integrated Service Management for Industries. I'll be there, along with a number of other members of the team.
See It, Read It And Hear It Now!
The Pulse Conversations is your single view into all the exciting social media conversations happening in and around the conference.
Great for those attending (and especially great for those not attending) to follow the action and find out about what's happening.
Be sure to go to the site and register. We'll have links to Flickr, blogs, rolling Twitter feeds on our hash tags. Livestream. This thing is awesome!
Oh, and I should mention that I'm loading up a number of tweets on time delay with suggestions on things to see at designated times. So if you're at Pulse, keep an eye on Twitter...
I Stream, You Stream, We All Stream For Live Stream!
Like other IBM conferences, we'll have a lot going on in the Livestream channel (Pulse folder). Special thanks go to Tiffany Winman and Jennifer Dennis who worked on a lot of the planning for this.
What's The Hashtag, Kenneth?
The following is a list of hash tags that we're using for the Pulse conference.
Our core accounts for the conference are @IBMPulse, @IBMTivoli and @servicemgmt.
Oh, and if you see me running around the conference (I'll be the one in the IBM Pulse staff shirt, easy to spot!), be sure to say hello and let me know what you think about the blog and how we can work to improve it for ya'.

In Ivor Macfarlane's most recent article, he (rightfully) points out that we should look beyond cost to improve service management. Cost used to be the major (if not only) factor in making IT decisions, but it isn't any more, especially when it comes to service management. IT services deliver a lot more than economic savings. They create new possibilities, generate new business advantages, empower new services and strategies, connect organizations with new customers and markets, and much more.

And just what are Proven Practice Workshops? First of all, they're new to Pulse 2011 - reason enough to check them out. Second, in these workshops, you'll hear from leading Tivoli Services experts about their proven implementation best practices and guidance. Tivoli Services will lead 5 of these dynamic workshops:
Pulse 2011 will deliver more information, in more ways, on more relevant subjects, than ever before. With such a rich array of information to choose from, some of you may be wondering: "How can I zero in on exactly the right sessions for me?"

Say Hello To Tivoli Endpoint Manager built on BigFix technology
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  bigfix endpoint-manager tivoli 1,843 Visits
On July 1st, 2010 IBM announced plans to acquire BigFix, Inc.
We didn't waste too much time with closing the deal on July 20th, 2010 and then cut to January 25th of this year and we announced Tivoli EndPoint Manager, built on BigFix technology (Announcement Letter: 211-048) would be electronically available on February 01.
There's a great press release that gives a high-level view of what this offering is all about (also on PRNewswire) and Angela Reese wrote a great blog about it as well.
Basically, this solution allows customers to manage and secure physical and virtual endpoints.
Two tastes that taste great together.
IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager solution is positioned as the endpoint lifecycle management engine for integrated solutions that enforce efficient configuration compliance, optimize change management processes, and enable a self-request software management service for the end users.
IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager solution monitors and enforces security and compliance at the enterprise endpoints, providing a single management platform for endpoint security and compliance.
Together with other IBM security offerings such as the Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign On, the IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager solution provides comprehensive endpoint management and access control.
If you're coming to Pulse (and if you're reading this blog, you really should be coming to Pulse), you'll hear about this solution in a few of our sessions as well as be able to see it in the expo center.
And if you can't wait, here's a good whitepaper with more information.

This is the third in our series and focuses on Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC). Don't forget that two and one are also on the blog.
Plan your time in the Expo Center accordingly and we hope to see you at Pulse...hopefully without the snow.
Also, Amalore Jude wrote a great blog about the Storwize V7000 support and we talked about the XIV support in the November Tivoli Beat. Both are worth reading for additional information.
Is drowning in information a step forward from drowning in data?

I recently booked my travel for a business trip to the
If there is
anyone out there actually reading this stuff, and is in Vegas for Pulse, or at
the LIG is
But – not
unusually – I have distracted myself a little from where I thought I was going
when I started writing this. So … I booked some flights: from
Let me divert again a little bit and remind you – because you are all experts and know this stuff – about a basic knowledge management concept; the spectrum that runs data->information->knowledge->wisdom. At the beginning data is extensive but not too helpful. If it ever reaches wisdom[1] it actually helps you survive and thrive.
But back to that
travel information I was getting. Remember I had booked a flight in late
February to the
I interpret it –this may be grossly unfair of me, but I am the customer and customer perception is what matters – like this: travel advice is being planned and delivered by someone who goes to the same desk in the same office everyday, and rarely puts foot on an airplane. Of course the real culprit behind this is ease of programming – data is cheap and plentiful, applying some basic ideas to turn that into information is quite fun, sounds good and means you can despatch all sorts of travel notice updates to people who will be travelling sometime in the future. But it is – sorry but it really is – just using data because you have it. Maybe they bill on the number of messages? Maybe they really think I want to know? The real consequence is that I delete these emails unread now – so if they were by some miracle to send me something useful, I would miss it altogether.
Another example,
last year this system showed the kind of silo thinking that comes from not
knowing the customer's environment – the kind you often see in service
management reporting. I spoke for itSMF
Now of course
I suppose if somebody were to ask me what I want notifications about, I would be happy to work with them, and set up delivering something that goes beyond information, starts delivering knowledge and gets me the wisdom I need to make the right decisions.
But if that is actually ever to happen then those of us receiving all this useless information need to realise it is – mostly – our fault. I could have responded offering to help them improve, I could proactively tell them what I need – I could offer some of my time as an investment in my own future knowledge and wisdom deliverables. But It is easier (and more fun?) to carp and whinge – so maybe my New Year's resolution should have been around practising what I preach – doing what I talked about in my itSMF conference presentations last year – and to start being a good, committed constructive customer because it won't get better otherwise.
OK – I'm off to find the 'help us improve our service' button on the web site. See you at Pulse?
And a final reminder – For simulation information go to our landing page- for info on LIG presentations go to http://www.itsmfusa.org/local-interest-groups
[1] Best explanation of the step from knowledge to wisdom is one I stole from my daughter, Rosie and it goes 'Knowledge tells you a tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable; wisdom is knowing that but also knowing not to put it in a fruit salad'.

Indulging in local food and wine is a must-do for many travellers. If gastronomy and vineyard tours are high on your agenda, New Zealand won't disappoint.
New Zealand is a food and wine lover's paradise. Vineyards stretch throughout every region, chefs put playful local twists on fine cuisine. New Zealand food and wine festivals serve up taste sensations with a side of local music.
The Hawkes Bay, Martinborough and Marlborough and Central Otago are signature New Zealand wine regions; explore your pick of 120 vineyards by driving the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail. If you're after a really thorough wine tour, add West Auckland, Gisborne, Canterbury to your itinerary.
New Zealand food goes way beyond fish and chips and barbeques – our chefs have developed a distinct Pacific Rim cuisine. Expect to indulge in plenty of seafood (like greenlipped mussels, crayfish (lobster), Bluff oysters and fresh fish), award winning cheeses and of course our famous lamb. You should also expect a laidback, friendly atmosphere wherever you eat; we Kiwis love to keep things casual.
For fine dining amid spellbinding scenery, try one of New Zealand's many remote luxury lodges. For urban eats, try a waterfront restaurant at Auckland's Viaduct or a bohemian ethnic café in Wellington's Cuba Quarter. For a truly authentic experience, head to Rotorua for the smoky flavour of Maori food from a traditional hangi earth oven. And if you're here in the summer months, the wine and food festivals are a must – check out the Kawhia Kai Festival or the West Coast's Wildfoods Festival for something really adventurous.
Keen to hone your kiwi cooking skills? Take part in a cooking class and learn some local secrets, including Maori cooking using native plants. When shopping for fresh ingredients, remember to stop by a Saturday morning farmers' market. And for take-home inspiration, pick up a cookbook by one of our celebrity chefs, like Annabel Langbein or Peter Gordon.

Prague, Czech Republic (Sports Network) - The 100th Davis Cup final will
get underway Friday with an opening singles rubber between world No. 5 star
David Ferrer and Czech veteran Radek Stepanek.
Reigning champion Spain and the Czech Republic will square off in a best-of-
five tie on an indoor hardcourt at Prague's O2 Arena.
Ferrer-Stepanek will be followed by a match between sixth-ranked Czech Tomas
Berdych and world No. 11 Spaniard Nicolas Almagro.
Saturday's doubles bout in Prague will pit a Spanish duo of Marcel Granollers
and Marc Lopez against a Czech duo of Ivo Minar and Lukas Rosol. Granollers
and Lopez are fresh off their surprise title at last week's season-ending ATP
World Tour Finals in London, which just concluded on Monday.
Sunday's reverse singles in Prague call for Ferrer to battle the former
Wimbledon runner-up Berdych and Almagro to take on the 34-year-old world No.
37 Stepanek.
Spain will play without injured superstar Rafael Nadal, who has been sidelined
with knee problems since June.
The Spaniards are captained by former top-five star Alex Corretja, while the
host Czechs are piloted by Jaroslav Navratil.
Five-time champion Spain has won three of the last four Davis Cup titles,
including a 5-0 sweep of the Czech Republic in the 2009 finale in Barcelona.
The former Czechoslovakia captured its lone Davis Cup title in 1980.
Spain is 4-2 all-time versus the Czechs, including 2-0 against the Czech
Republic. The Spaniards went 2-2 against the former Czechoslovakia in a series
that started back in 1931.

Gambling Revenue Skepticism Proper
February 7, 2013
Ohio officials will hedge their bets on state revenue from casino gambling, Gov. John Kasich revealed this week....
You may want to see what Michigan's projections were, versus what they have actually collected. Detroit has three, and one has already been through the bankruptcy court. Net benefit to most states is negative, because unlike manufacturing, gambling is a nearly zero benefit business. No one will travel to Ohio from Kansas or Wyoming to gamble, so it's local money in, local money out, and the profits will leave the state. Only benefit, if you want to consider it a benefit, is another revenue stream for the Feds and Ohio to tax.

This morning, Mint Hill Middle School and Queen's Grant community school were briefly placed on lockdown, after Mint Hill Police received a call saying there was a man with a gun near the area.
No suspect was found, and Mint Hill Police urge that the lockdown was only a precautionary measure, and that students at either school were never in danger.
A press release by Mint Hill Police reads:
"at approximately 1016hrs, Mint Hill Police were advised that a passing motorist observed a "tan" skin male, slender build, approximately 5'6 to 5'8 was walking along Idlewild Road near Kale Lane. The complainant advised that the male was walking in the direction of Mint Hill Middle School near the wood line. The complainant advised the male was carrying a red backpack and a long gun (shotgun). He was approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the school in a heavily wooded area."
Officers from Mint Hill Police Department, Matthews Police Department, and CMS Law Enforcement circulated the area for around 90 minutes, with help from a CMPD Air Unit.
No subject was ever found, and officers cleared the area.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -
Small businesses that may create the most jobs are anxiously awaiting what's next.
Andrea McCarren visited the Kosher Pastry Oven in Silver Spring, where donut production is in high gear.
"It's perfection," said customer Oshra Raskas.
"It's comfort food. To Jewish people, this is comfort food. This is what we love," said another customer, Jennifer Auerhan.
"The texture is incredible. The variety of chocolate and custard and caramel and the jelly that they put!" Raskas added.
The donuts, known as suvganiyot are not just baked goods, but a transcendent experience at the Kosher Pastry Oven.
"This connects us to our culture and our traditions. Our family traditions. And it's not the same any place else," Auerhan explained.
At this family-owned Kosher bakery and cafe, Ari Eloul, better known Popi in the community, does all the baking. His wife, Shula handles the business.
"She feeds you and you're touched by an angel. You're done. You're touched by her food and therefore you're under her spell now," loyal customer Raskas explained.
Such a magnetic draw, in fact, that these two best friends have been driving here from Baltimore, every week, for the last four years.
"It's a place for people to come and sit down and enjoy life. And to spend their money in a way that means something to them." Auerhan said.
That customer loyalty has propelled the Eloul family to produce 20,000 donuts for Hanukah, over just eight days.
"My husband and I work dinner together. We have a five to nine rule. Whatever happens between five and nine, and what happens is a lot of yelling, it doesn't count," said Tali Eloul.
The impending fiscal cliff could mean higher taxes on small businesses like this, and reduced spending by uneasy customers wary of another recession.
"What if we need to raise prices because we're paying more in taxes? And then, the people have less money because their taxes are raised too," said Tali.
"We're going to have to make sure as a community, we stay strong and we protect our customers and our business. Our own little government, almost," added Ron Eloul.
The donuts here are so fresh, the bakery repeatedly ran out until the next batch was ready... causing a near riot.
But if most customers can wait patiently, at times for more than an hour, maybe, just maybe even bitter fiscal cliff disagreements can be negotiated.

2010 Campo Viejo Rioja – Wine Wednesday
This week's pick is the 2010 Campo Viejo Rioja. This wine is a little unusual as it's a basic Rioja, which means that the wine spends less than one year aging in oak. You more often see Rioja Crianza, which must be aged at least two years with one in oak, or Rioja Reserva, which must be aged at least three years with one year in oak. The 2010 Compo Viejo Rioja is also unusual as it exemplifies a very modern, almost new world style that is made from 100% Tempranillo, which is the main grape variety in Rioja. The wine is aged for four months in American oak and then ages in the bottle. This results in a wine that is very fruit forward with bright red fruit with cherry dominating and hints of black fruit, vanilla and baking spices.

Baked beans a game changer
Memorial Day is still weeks away (but only weeks), when fair-weather grillers will be firing up for the first time.
Some fanatics, of course, grilled all winter long, and lots of the rest of us have already cleaned out the birds' nests, exchanged the propane tanks and located our tongs on the randomly warm days we've enjoyed this April.
As reliably warm weather approaches for everyone, it's time to start looking for recipes worthy of our favorite ribs, burgers, steaks and chicken.
Before you open another can of baked beans to heat on the stove, give this recipe a try and see if it changes your annual spring/summer menu.

Today's rant is entitled: Seriously? Ten more steps is too far for you to walk pushing that completely empty grocery cart?
The title pretty much says it all, but I don't think one sentence constitutes a rant, so I'm just going to get it off my chest. People who are too lazy to walk their shopping carts to the cart corral and who leave them instead tucked on the lines that separate the parking spaces in the lot drive me crazy. You've just walked all over the entire grocery super store. Is it really that hard to spend thirty seconds walking to the nearest available cart corral? (And yes, you would get a pass if you get to park in the disabled section. But since I just saw you sashay out of the store and walk to the very far end of the row where you'd parked your shiny new car so no one would ding it, I know you can walk just fine.)
And also: If I bring in enough grocery totes to hold all my groceries, do you really think I want you to fill them half-full and then hand me a bunch of disposable plastic bags from your store, each containing no more than three items?
I realize that the flimsy plastic totes with the store logo on them can only hold three cans, but my bags are heavy-duty, with proper, sewn-on handles. They are large so that you can fill them with stuff. Two cans of soup, one head of lettuce and a loaf of bread does not constitute full. All of my vegetables could fit into that one bag that you stuffed with only five grapefruits, six apples, and one head of broccoli.
And, yes, I do care if you put my raw meat in with my fresh vegetables. Just because you can put a lot in each bag doesn't mean you have to be all food-poisoning-stupid about doing so. Here's a thought: fresh produce in one; cold and frozen goods in another; raw foods in a third; and cans in a the last one (like, maybe in that one that's got internal dividers separating it into columns that--shockingly!--are about the right size to hold cans). I even tried to help you out by separating my groceries into those clusters as I was putting them onto the belt and then leaving all the really light stuff for the end to tuck on top of the bags. So why did you put my bananas and tomatoes in with my cans of soup again?
And also: If I arrive at 9:30 for my 9:30 appointment, and I sit in a not-fully-closing sack of a gown for forty-five minutes on an exam table waiting for you to come in to see me, and you walk in at 10:20, I expect some kind of acknowledgment that you are running late. Especially since it's hard to imagine precisely what would constitutes a dermatological emergency that could make you run that late.
You check moles all day, dude. What could you possibly be doing in your first two appointments that would force you to need an extra forty-five minutes before getting to me?
I could have done all my grocery shopping in that amount of time.
With a preschooler in tow.
And bagged it myself. Just the way I like it.

Rude or Incompetent? You Be the Judge
Today's rant is entitled: Seriously? Ten more steps is too far for you to walk pushing that completely empty grocery cart?

Oh, I heartily agree. That's why we do the majority of our grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. Not only do they encourage me to give directions on HOW I like things bagged, and often totally back off so I can do it myself (without judgement!).. they also let me enter a store gift card giveaway every time I use my own bags. AND they WALK me to my car with my grocery carts. (Yes, cartS, we have four hungry kids under 7 and even the picky eater suddenly hit a growth spurt). And somehow I always manage to get BOTH my carts back to the corral. People who think their lives are too hard for basic courtesies like that make me see red!

Wow, I got ticked off at my grocery store and my doctors just reading that!

All very annoying.
Whenever I have to wait for my appointment (when I'm on time) I remember that Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry finds out that his doctor takes early arrivals first so they don't have to wait. Then he races with that girl from Hairspray down the hall to try to sign in before her.
Sadly - real life isn't funny-infuriating like that. It's just annoying -infuriating.

My two grocery cart stories. 1) At target on carpenter a lady puts bags in her cart and then puts her cart right behind my car. Meaning I have to move it to get to my trunk. She was very able to walk. I happened to walk up when she did and I asked her to please move her cart so i could please open my trunk. She was all huffy and furious acting. Loved catching her! 2) I get furious when people leave carts in handicap or "expectant mother parking". Seriously people!

fyi, sorry for typos. i am tired.

Every time I am tired and tempted to leave my cart somewhere, I think of one of my best friends who is of the same opinion about how rude it is. I've never left a single cart astray ever since she walked one of mine back with a raised eyebrow. A big thank you to her and you for reminding me that common courtesy extends beyond "please" and "thank you".
I'm totally with you on the bagging, too. I sort it all into my bags as I shop and then try not to roll my eyes as they rebag it ALL WRONG.
Sorry about your doctor appointment. Irritating.
Hope today is much better than that day was!

Rude, incompetent, incompetent AND rude. In that order.
My local grocer is used to people bringing in bags so they don't screw that up too badly, but I do really get upset at people who leave shopping carts all over the place. I have a toddler in tow and I still manage to put the cart where it belongs. So it's not impossible.

I went last month for my annual well woman exam and scheduled for the first appointment of the morning with the nurse practitioner. My appointment was at 830, they called me back for weighing and peeing at 845; afterwards as I was walking back to the exam room I heard her come in the front door. I'm totally shopping for a new obgyn after that.

You know you have a good doctor when they rush in and apologize for being late. I have one of those.

A rant well done. I would add, if the doctor is running that freaking late, have the nurse pop in and mention that they know you're still alive in the exam room.
- March 28, 2011 at 4:24 PM
- JackeeG4glamorous said...
Not to take the docs side during your well deserved rant, BUT, dermatologists do have emergent appointments, and do more than check moles all day.
(healthcare administrator here- can't really plan for anything-cause people are SO friggin self centered and unpredicatable!) Sorry, this is comment section ranting...oops.
Back to the carts, hate it when I come back from taking my cart back and find someone elses cart has dinged the front end of my car!!!! Courtesty is a thing of the past, much like handwritten thank you notes andland line telephones.
- March 29, 2011 at 9:40 AM
- Jennifer said...
I completly agree - take the few seconds to walk the cart back to the bay! This is how people get dings in their car doors or take up parking spots ect.
This is why I love the english way of having to put a pound coin to get a cart out ans when you put it back it gives the coin back. This stops all the laziness in the parking lot.

Lip gloss is used to nourish, protect, enhance and highlight the lips, while also providing a glossy luster. Some lip gloss formulas include a tint or color, flavor or coolants and/or finishes like glitter, frost or metallic sheens. Most glosses contain emollients that moisturize, soothe and protect your sensitive lips, and some even offer sun protection and nourishing ingredients like antioxidants, plant extracts and vitamins. It's good to remember that our lips change with the seasons and that the thin, sensitive skin in this area needs protection from the elements.
Lip gloss is available in tubes, bottles, boxes and pots and can be applied with a wand, brush or fingertips. Some people prefer to wear colored or translucent lip gloss in lieu of lipstick, while others apply lip gloss over their lipstick to enhance and provide staying power to their lip color.
Lip gloss works to help thinner, smaller lips appear more noticeable and enhances the lushness of larger lips. Either way, lip gloss can contribute a polished look to your overall makeup design and give you that perfect, sexy pout you strive for!

Born Dirk Niewoehner in Helena, MT on March 1, 1945, he led by all accounts an idyllic childhood in the rural town of White Sulphur Springs, MT. Football appeared to be among his primary interests until he auditioned on a dare for the spring musical at Whitman College and won the lead in a production of "Show Boat." He intensified his acting studies after graduation through a two-year program with acclaimed teacher John Fernald, and began appearing in repertory theater productions across the United States.

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - The next chapter in the fabled Red River Rivalry
takes place at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas this Saturday, as the 15th-ranked
Texas Longhorns square off against the 13th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners.
This is the 107th meeting between these two storied programs, with Texas
leading the series by a 59-42-5 count. However, Oklahoma has won the last two
meetings, the most recent of which being a 55-17 rout last season.
This is the seventh straight year and the 36th time overall that both teams
come into the annual clash ranked in the AP Top-25, and the Sooners own a 13-4
mark in 17 previous matchups when both were in the top-15 and they were the
higher ranked team.
Texas opened the 2012 campaign with four straight wins, which included a 41-36
decision at Oklahoma State in its Big 12 Conference opener on Sept. 29. The
Longhorns welcomed Heisman Trophy frontrunner Geno Smith and the West Virginia
Mountaineers to Austin last Saturday, and the home team suffered its first
loss of the season in a 48-45 final.
Oklahoma kicked off the new season with a pair of wins over UTEP and FCS foe
Florida A&M, but then suffered a 24-19 loss at home to Kansas State in its
league lidlifter on Sept. 22. The Sooners then enjoyed a bye before bouncing
back with a 41-20 triumph at Texas Tech last Saturday.
The Texas offense is generating a gaudy 46.8 points and 477.4 total yards
game, and the unit is equally proficient in rolling up 209.4 ypg on the ground
and 268.0 ypg through the air. Of the 29 TDs the offense has scored, 17 have
been of the rushing variety, with RB Joe Bergeron (60.0 ypg) tallying nine
scores himself. Malcolm Brown (three TDs) is the team's leading rusher in
terms of per game average (61.2 ypg), and when you factor in Johnathan Gray's
production (48.8 ypg), it seems like the Longhorns always have a fresh pair of
legs in the backfield. QB David Ash is hitting the mark on 77.5 percent of his
passes, logging 1,276 yards with 11 TDs and only one interception, while pass
catchers Jaxson Shipley (22 receptions, 250 yards, four TDs) and Mike Davis
(19 receptions, 263 yards, two TDs) have proven to be the club's most
effective targets down the field.
Defensively, the 'Horns are permitting 26.4 ppg, the number being skewed by
their last three opponents who tallied 31, 36 and 48 points, respectively. The
unit has allowed a total of just six rushing TDs, but opponents churn out
182.4 ypg and average 4.7 yards per carry. The effort against the pass is
yielding 221.8 ypg, and the defense has come up with 10 turnovers (seven
picks) and 13 sacks. LB Steve Edmond and DB Kenny Vaccaro have both made 36
tackles, and they have combined for seven TFL and three interceptions. DE Alex
Okafor has been credited with six sacks and 12 QB hurries -- both team-highs.
Despite racking up more than 400 yards last week against West Virginia, the
Longhorns fell short in their bid to win their fifth consecutive game to open
the season. Ash completed 22-of-29 passes for 269 yards and a TD, while Gray
led the rushing attack with 87 yards on 14 totes. Jeremy Hill caught six balls
for 67 yards, and Shipley added five grabs for 58 yards.
Unfortunately, the UT defense came up small in trying to contain the nation's
most explosive signal-caller, as Smith went 25-of-35 for 268 yards and four
TDs. The 'Horns also had difficulty shutting down the running lanes, allowing
WVU tailback Andrew Buie to rumble his way for 207 yards and two scores.
Vaccaro led UT with 11 tackles, Okafor had a pair of sacks, and the defense as
a whole made 13 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
Despite allowing Smith to have his way, the Longhorns came up with as many
sacks (four) as the Mountaineers had allowed in their first four games
combined. A couple of telling stats from the game -- while Texas held West
Virginia to a mere 3-of-12 success on third-down conversion attempts, the
Mountaineers made good on all five of their fourth-down tries. Additionally,
the visitors came away with point on all seven of their trips to the red zone.
Coach Mack Brown sees a glaring weakness in his defense that needs fixing
right away. "The thing I'm having trouble with is we're giving up so many
rushing yards, and we're not used to that. We're allowing people to be two
dimensional. We've got to do a better job with that."
Utilizing an offensive attack that produces 190.5 rushing ypg and 273.2 ypg
passing, Oklahoma is putting up 38.2 ppg. Standouts on that side of the ball
include RB Damien Williams (341 yards, five TDs), QB Landry Jones (93-of-147,
1,032 yards, seven TDs, two interceptions) and WR Kenny Stills (29 receptions,
344 yards, three TDs).
From a defensive standpoint, the Sooners are giving up just 16.0 ppg, with
opponents finding it particularly tough to pick up yardage via the pass (160.5
ypg). Their effort against the run yields 142.5 ypg, but they've permitting
just four rushing scores. Tony Jefferson paces the club with 30 tackles, 20 of
which have been unassisted, and the unit as a whole has posted nine sacks but
only three takeaways (all interceptions).
The Sooners did all their scoring in the first three quarters last week at
Texas Tech, and took a 41-13 lead into the final frame. The OU offense
finished with 380 total yards, and converted 8-of-14 third-down attempts while
committing just one turnover. Jones threw for 259 yards and two TDs, hitting
Stills seven times for 43 yards and a score. Williams, who rushed for 48 yards
on 14 carries, added six catches for 82 yards.
The Oklahoma defense stood its ground against the usually high-powered Red
Raiders offense, limiting the hosts to 89 net rushing yards and 203 passing
yards. The Sooners did not allow an aerial score, and came up with three
interceptions and a pair of sacks. One of the picks was returned for a 46-yard
TD by Javon Harris midway through the third quarter.
Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops likes the way his team has played for the most
part this season, including last week against Texas Tech.
"We've played really well in a lot of areas, and we got the turnovers, which
always is a big factor in these games. So I'm proud of our players for the
resolve just to work like they have the last couple weeks to come back and
play a good football team on the road and play like they did."
