Right on Phil.
I have this loop working but for the pagination: https://gist.github.com/zulfnore/6558084
Any pointers?

because he’s probably making a ‘page’ that is off the /index/home/ it’s a 
template... i.e. not the landing, lotsa people do this ;/  splash page in 
the front, link in menu to the actual blog loop

Why do you need template-blog.php when there is home.php for 
exactly that purpose?

  I've read around that using query_posts is bad but I've seen many 
  a themes using it and get away with it. 
   
  My case is I'm trying to put together a template-blog.php for StrapVert 
  and this is what I've come up with so far:
   
  
  add_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');
    global $wp_query;
      query_posts(array(
    'paged' => 
  $wp_query->get('paged'),
    'post__not_in' => 
  get_option('sticky_posts'),
      ));
   
    global $more; $more = 0;
      get_template_part('index-blog');
         $more = 1;
  remove_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');
   
     wp_reset_query();
  wp_reset_postdata();
   
  But before I add these changes to the theme and submit an update I'd like 
  some feedback on "How Really Bad" is query_posts and can I "get away" with the 
  above?
   
  Thanks in advance,
  Zulf
