TravelPod Member ReviewsFalcon Hills Hotel Sharm El-Sheikh
Never again. Enough said.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Falcon Hills is a decent place as long as you don't pay whatever the full price is...I think it's advertised as between 50 to 60 USD per night with buffet breakfast...that's too much but we were able to get $32 USD through lastminute.com and booking.com. We stayed 4 nights total...breakkie is OK, 2 pools, both nice but one has a really bad dj so we when at the pool we went to the back one which is heated and no crappy music. We were there to dive though and dove with pirate divers the dive shop in the hotel...great group of guys. Hotel was fine for us.

Historical Traveler Reviews Falcon Hills Hotel Sharm El-Sheikh
We won't return to this hotel either!
I agree with all the comments rabbit1 from Preston makes. The smell of the sewage was not overpowering but it was not nice if the wind was in the wrong direction.
The food was poor I would say due to lack of quality, the sweets though were the redeeming feature most of the time they were OK. The breakfast was OK ish but yes you had to queue for omelettes most of the time I found.
They seem to have increased accommodation capacity but not the facilities common to all guests. If you decided to stay in the Hotel for the evening the entertainment that seemed every other evening was poor. There were only 30 chairs/stools to sit on indoors. The bar and reception are all in one place and the restaurant (well it's a dining area) next to that.
Big "swimming pool regulations" notices saying no reserving of sun beds by each pool are ignored. I would say people were driven to get up early with there kept towels from the day before to put on a sun bed as there were not enough in the first place. Yes I am guilty I done it once with the attitude if you can't beat em join em. After getting up early once though I thought stuff this. I found if you waited around the pool just before 11:00 some would go to the beach on the free bus thus a sun bed or two free. Big pool very invigorating/cold, small pool warmer (same sun heating smaller volume of water).Nice sun beds with big thick mattresses.
Reef beach is good for snorkelling it's about a 1Km walk from the hotel though across a couple of large roads not to bad though.
Free bus to two other beaches, the bus did leave a few minutes early once as it was full. The beaches are two parts of the same beach about 250meters apart nothing to see in water for snorkelling but OK for kids sandy and shallow for a way out. Music on second beach played loudly by beach DJ. Bar and snack joint on beach but pay for all. Prices reasonable but waiter decided to load my bill with a tip for the barman (so he said) on second visit. Tip for snorkelling from second beach, with beach shoes walk around the beach with hill on the right. Pass old armoured fighting vehicle hulks on hill side and rusting old tank hulk in sea from war (On the third day of the war, 7 June, 1967 following an air attack Israel Navy landed paratroopers in Sharm El-Sheikh) then walk out into sea a little before donning snorkel gear. Great little bit not used much.
The staffs in hotel were not as eager to please as we have experienced in other hotels in Egypt before. Every thing was done but not to as higher standard as we had come to expect from previous holidays. Two days we had to wait until 17:30 for our room to be cleaned.
We met a lady who visited to the same hotel in January with a girlfriend. They had a fantastic time so much so that she came back in March with her husband. Her comments were that she could not believe the difference in attitude and service from the staff.
Moving around Sharm el-Sheikh is presently dominated by the taxi mafia, which has the nerve to say that there are fixed prices for specific destinations. And these prices are 3 times what you would pay for exactly the same service in the rest of the country. The local police is in on the fraud, forcing tourists off the bus to pay the local fantasy prices.
Definitely not a 4 star more a 2.
We will return to Egypt but not to this hotel.
We Won't Be Returning
If your idea of an "all inclusive" holiday means "all inclusive" and not "a little bit of this today, and maybe a little of that tomorrow inclusive", then sadly this is certainly not the place for you.
The hotel itself is beautiful, is clean and our rooms where large enough to accomodate three beds relatively comfortably. It has gone through a recent extension and redecoration, however this doesn't gloss over the consistent poor service and rudeness we recieved over our weeks stay.
I am not a complainer, and have never complained about a holiday before but on this occasion i feel compelled to warn others who may be thinking of going to this hotel. Please don't think we are just a dis-illusioned one off complaining family, everyone who spoke to us on holiday where in the same situation. Some were so upset that they wished they where coming home with us a week early.
"All Inclusive" it was not, it ran from 11am to 11pm, not 1 minute to 11 or even 1 minute past 11, i mean 11 to 11 (or the gistapo will shoot you). You couldn't even get a bottleof water before 11am.
Lets start at breakfast, if you wanted an omlette, fried or scrambled egg you have to wait in queue with the rest of the hotel while the chef cooks it on one hotplate. The food on the whole was not too bad, if a little repetative. As for drinks, kids could not even have a non alcoholic cocktail as there was more than one juice in it (i kid you not). If you are all inclusive you are treated as a second rate client compared to those who are half board and are paying for their drinks. Not only are you overlooked at the bar, but when you do manage to get a grunt fron one of the miserable barstaff your wine will come in a thimble and your beer in a less than half pint glass. If you are a 'paying' customer you will get a large measure of wine or a large bottle of beer.
If you are prepared to put up with the looks of distain from the waiters if you have the audacity to order a snack which is again limited compared to the paying customers, you can have a beefburger (but no cheese on it as this would mean there would be none left for breakfast), chicken burger or pizza, all served with cold chips. again if you are paying you can choose from the full snack menu and also recieve larger portions. WARNING: snacks are between 4.30pm&5.30pm, 11pm&12pm not a second before or after.
As i said earlier the hotel itself is lovely, however the bottom pool is blighted by hundreds of flies attracted by the hotels own sewage plant situated next to the pool bar, the smell is an expierience in itself. We also went to the hotels own beach via courtesy bus, once we got there we where told that the "all inclusive" could not be used and everything was therefore chargeable. My 9 year old son managed to accidently break the plastic key fob for the room for which in no uncertain terms i was told i would have to pay �7.50 for a replacement.
We eventually did complain to the service manager (Mahmoud, a very nice man) and things did improve on the service front, however im afraid it was far too little far too late.
The only saving grace, was that we met some lovely (english) people there, with whom we will stay friends with, but this hotel is one that my family and i will be staying far away from. PS: Egypt is a beautifull country, and we have holidayed there before without any complaint and we will return to Egypt again.
Do Not Go
I have never had such a bad experience with a hotel that I've felt that I've had to write a review before.
We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks and there weren't many positive things to say about it.
On first arriving, the hotel appeared to be small but the room was a decent size.
As two young females travelling together looking for a peaceful relaxing break we were greatly disappointed.
During the first few days the bar/waiter staff appeared to be friendly and helpful, often bringing your drinks to the dinner table before having to order them. However this quickly changed. The hassle and flirting from the staff became tiresome and on turning down their advances they became rude and dismissive. They ignored us at the dinner table, refusing to serve us drinks. On going to the bar to order our own drinks they would be thrown/slid down the bar after a long wait whilst serving other hotel members. Totally rude and unnecessary. Towards the end of the holiday we used to order our drinks at the pool bar and take them into the restaurant.
We opted for the all inclusive option which was another big mistake. The food was the same every day and poor, very often the serving trays were empty. If you are a vegetarian and you don't like pizza you're likely to lose a dress size or 2. The milk for the tea and coffee at breakfast time had gone off most days and curdled in your mug.
Relaxing by the pool was what I was most looking forward to about this holiday; however this was ruined by the gardener at the hotel. Just as you would settle onto your sun lounger you would hear a rustle of a carrier bag, on looking up, the gardener would be stood a short distance away staring at you. This made both of us feel totally uneasy as you constantly had him staring at you...Have these people never seen women before????
The pool appeared to be kept clean and tidy and the pool staff were friendly. However there was a disgusting and overpowering smell of sewage at the rear pool. Very often you had to cover your nose as it was so bad, particularly later in the day.
There were staff at the hotel trying to encourage you to get a henna tattoo. On declining politely, they quickly became rude every time they saw you, muttering something under their breath as they passed you. Not quite what I expected on holiday.
YOUNG GIRLS BEWARE OF THE CLEANING STAFF. Our cleaner Shaboon knocked our door at every opportunity, asking when we were leaving. He would then ask for a hug, it was difficult to get rid of him. On one occasion after he had cleaned our room, we found him in our room later on in the day with the TV on - with no reason for being there!!! On our last day he knocked as usual and we told him we were travelling home, he said he would attend at 4 o'clock in order to take our bags to reception. This was great or so we thought as we were on the first floor with many steps to go down.
At 4 O'clock he turned up, rather than collecting our bags he closed the curtains in the room and door asked for a hug, we told him no and he tried to kiss us and grope us. My female friend walked away from him into the bathroom where he followed her and tried groping her again, she had to tell him to get off. This upset her greatly and on finally getting out of the room from him he stated that he would ring a porter to collect our bags. He had no intention of collecting our bags in the first place! Had the reception staff been more helpful we would have reported him.
This is the first holiday I have been on where I have been glad to return home. I will certainly NOT be returning.
Great Little Hotel
My wife and I have recently returned from Sharm El Sheikh, we stayed at the Falcon Hills Hotel. This being our first trip to Egypt and having read mixed reviews on Sharm El Sheikh, we just didn't know what exactly to expect. The hotel was great, 2 swimming pools, clean patios around the pool, friendly pool staff and a peaceful enviroment. The food was graet as well plenty of choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner (if you have a sweet tooth be warned stay away from the dessert table, with over 16 different desserts at each meal the calories just mount up looking at the puddings, cakes and pastries. The main courses always offered a meat dish, a poultry dish , a fish dish and a vegetarian option and all accompanied by an assortment of cooked vegetables and cool salads.
The Reception Staff were helpful and friendly, the bar and lounge area was clean and the guest were well looked after by the bar staff.
Each evening there was a variety of different entertainment, from belly dancers to magicians, from dancers to acrobats. There was even a replica Bedouin tent on the roof for you to sample a bit of bedouin life.
The bedrooms were very spacious we had a room with twin beds, a bath, shower w.c. etc, there was also a full size fridge and a mulit-channel tv (With English Channels). There was a small balcony with table and chairs.
The person who made up[ the beds always had a smile on their face and always greeted you with an hello whenever they saw you
Having had mixed reservations about going we now can't wait to return and we will return and to the Falcon Hills.
Beware of subtle money scams
The staff in general are very polite but beware of a subtle scam that they have got going. My experience was with Ibrahim, the pool attendant, but I have a feeling that it goes on elsewhere in Egypt too.
They will befriend you and seem very nice and polite and not at all pushy by asking for money. They are too smart and clever to apply such transparency. After a while they then employ some of the following tactics:
1. They will get depressed and worried over some money problem (ie their family's cows have all died, they have to sell off family land to pay debts etc etc). They won't ask you directly for money but you'll feel so sorry for them that you will offer something.
2. After staying in touch with you for a while, they will ask you to bring some expensive item that they cannot get in Egypt on your next trip (eg laptop computer, latest mobile phone, mp3 player etc etc). As their wages are 25-50 pounds sterling a month, you do the math on getting repaid! They do this with many many Europeans and I know that some people have fallen for it.
3. If you are a single female they will of course fall in love with you and ask you to marry them. And by the way can you give them some money to set up a business so that you can "start your lives together".
Even if they are successful at any of the above it is a fortune to them. So be warned.
***A Good 3Star Hotel***
Wow i was so gratefull when our bus pulled up outside this hotel because we went passed the cleopatra hotel, and it looked dreadfull and didn't have many good reviews.
I'st of all we went to the reception area where we were shown our room, luggage of course was taken for us and having trundled it around all day was relived someone else was pulling my case. ha!
the room was yes, very basic- with two beds a dressing table and chair, bath and shower, but thats all we needed.... but always clean and tidy-not dirty or grubby, our room overlooked the pool, so we didnt have far to go to jump into it, many a times we just left out patio open and talked to the guests who were staying at the hotel- and had a quick brandy fab!
i must admit not many people went into the pool, as it was freezing i braved it twice but couldnt stay in long!
the food was very reasonably priced and never felt ill, we were B AND B. so most the time we either had a quick snack at the hotel then wondered to the wonderful place of NAAMA bay- an absolute change at night time- because in the day it's like a ghost town ha ha.
if you take a left out of the hotel there's a lovely pizza place where you can buy a 8" pizza for a staggering �1.50 unbelieveable fresh to order aswell, then took it back to the hotel and ate it there - or eat in at the pizza place!
make sure you try the go-karting half a mile round the corner cost about �15.00 english pounds but well worth it.
i also tried the massage which was available at the hotel. think i paid about �12.00 english pounds- it was amazing!! i had about 3 whilst i was there- which involved my neck, back, and shoulders which took 30minutes and a free 15 minute complimentary facial!!
the girls are always hard at it, and not very often standing around doing nothing. so book to avoid disappointment-
i must also say how polite and quick the service was when ordering drinks or food.. very attentive-
only downside to the hotel is the entertainment. not much put on- but didnt bother me much as we often went into old sharm or naama bay!! Expect to pay about 20-25 egyptian pounds to get to naama bay and always say the price before getting into the taxi's- blue and white ones are usually the best!! they do drive abit mad though.
ooo be warned if you go to the camel bar it cost me �14 english pound for 3 alcoholic drinks i forgot to ask for there local alcohol instead of our own brand like back home!
please make sure you try theTAI HOUSE situated ontop of the shopping mall you'll see it a big red building in naama bay its fantastic food very reasonable too-
also a place called VALENTINO'S its at the end of the beach near the Hilton Fayrouz- make sure you dont go to the first valentino on the beach as its not that one that much good its further down!!
i had a fillet steak and pepper sauce - and my second visit a big salad to start and a pasta dish. its unbelieveable its situated right on the beach and has candles lit on each table!!!
i'm a very fussy eater and found this to be the best out of all the restaurants in naama bay!!
if you venture to old sharm make sure you take a right into the shopping mall because theres a wonderful waterfall and if you walk up the cliff front which is carpeted and has seated areas you can have a waiter bring you a drink and watch the stars and the view its bliss!! alot of people miss this- a villager took my friend and i.
overall this is a fine hotel for a base and a place to sleep- i'd rate this hotel a 3STAR and the price i paid for the week was very reasonable
hope this has helped some what!!
i'd go back to this hotel-
see you egypt next year in may 2007!!

Nothing Special
We stayed at the Falcon Hills in December 2006, being an 'allocation on arrival' from a Thomson Auction. Whilst we weren't expecting luxury, we were a little disappointed. Reception try to persuade everyone to upgrade to all inclusive on arrival, but most who did complained about the food. We were on a B & B basis: the breakfast choice was good, with many hot and cold buffet options. We had one lunch at the hotel - pizzas with undercooked bases-none of the staff are really interested in any complaints though, as several people found out.
The rooms were a good size, with a full sized fridge, tv, reasonably sized bathroom (always plenty of hot water), and a small balcony/terrace. Being a small balcony, there is really only room for 1 patio chair and small table, which is all that they give you, per twin/dbl room! This was easily overcome though, as there are 2 chairs and a coffee table in the rooms, so we just moved one out onto the terrace.
Room service is available, but everyone seemed to leave their plates of half eaten food outside the door when they had finished. These plates stayed there on the floor in the corridors all evening, all night and during the next day until the rooms were done, when they were collected. As our room was never done before mid afternoon, our corridor had plates with food along the floor for up to 20 hours each day.
We made the mistake of forgetting to order our breakfast boxes when we did the long day trip to Cairo. When the receptionist was distributing them to those who had ordered, he also went behind the bar and got them each a small bottle of water. I asked him if we could just have the water for our trip, but he refused, saying it was 'all about cost'!! This wasn't a problem as we did have water, and were all given some on the trip, but it seems such a trivial thing for the receptionist to make an issue of.
Like other hotels, this one does not allow any food or drink to be brought in that has been bought outside. We did hear that one couple had their duty free purchases confiscated while we were there, although we did not meet them personally.
The hotel does run a courtesy bus to a couple of the beaches and back during the day, and into Naama Bay at night. Be warned though, the driver doesn't necessarily stick to the timetable, often leaving early (the receptionist's reason for this was that both our watches and phones had the wrong time).
The bar staff seemed unwilling to refuse to serve those who were very drunk, they just kept on giving them more. We witnessed a couple of very loud drunken 'arguments' as we collected our room key after a night out in Naama Bay, only to be woken several nights at 2.30am as those same people made their drunken way to their rooms along the corridor of plates and glasses. The hotel staff only shrugged if you asked why these people were allowed to be so noisey - they weren't really interested. We like to have a good time, but not at the expense of others!
There are 2 good sized pools at the Falcon Hills, both kept clean, one being heated. There were plenty of sunbeds.
We used Temor Tours for our excursions as they are so much cheaper and we knew they were reliable as we used them last November when we also went to Sharm (out of the hotel, turn left and walk 5/10 mins to the end of the road).
If you turn right out of the hotel and walk for 10/15 mins, you arrive at Reef Beach, which is a public beach (10LE/�1 or buy a ticket at the hotel for half price). Sunbeds are on a terrace area and there is a little wooden jetty into the sea for snorkelling. If the wind is strong though, the current will be very strong which can be dangerous as the coral spreads out in a 'V' from the steps and you have to keep a constant eye on where you are.
Admittedly, we didn't pay the full rate for our holiday - if we had, we would have been very disappointed
Good all round 3 star
Stayed here for 1 week 7 - 14 Dec 06 on B&B as we wanted to experiment and eat out.
The hotel was clean but basic, every day something was being washed or cleaned, the room was basic but had all we needed, fridge, tv, balcony, bath or shower and free safe and clean free beach towels everyday - yes you could take them on the 'free bus' to Sharm and their free beach.
The hotel had a rule which,[----] me off, you cant bring any food or drink into the hotel, which, always means high prices, I would stay there again if they changed this rule.
The breakfast was a good spread and the staff were friendly and did a good job
I must say, we were disappointed by the Falcon Hills hotel, having had previous good holidays in the Sharm-el-Sheikh area.
The hotel itself was fine, maybe a little basic, but there were areas that could be improved. The room was OK, bed very hard, the room could have been a bit cleaner. We experienced problems with the water supply to our room, water cold or sometimes no water at all. However this was resolved (eventually). We felt that the staff were not always as helpful as you would expect, the reception staff insisted several times that messages had been left for our room, when we checked the details they weren't for us, although we explained this they still insisted on putting the messages under our door or giving them to us with our room key. There is still probably some poor soul somewhere wondering why he/she didn't get their messages. However, the worst were the waiters, who were indifferent to the point of being rude, reading between the lines, I think this was because we were B&B only, those on half-board and all-inclusive seemed to be treated a lot better! When we paid them for drinks, they would not always come back with the change, now wherever we go we ALWAYS leave tips, but personally I like to make up my own mind about what tip to leave, not for someone to just keep the change!
The breakfasts were fine, nothing special. We never had dinner there, preferring to go into Naama Bay by taxi where there is a huge choice of restaurants.
There is a swimming pool, quite small although as we were there in December, it was a bit too cold to use, although some brave people did try it out!
The beach area was a bit disappointing, you could get a shuttle bus there from the hotel, or alternatively it is about a 10 minute walk, although if walking you do have to cross quite a busy road. But the area is shared with 2 or 3 other hotels, so space was at a premium to say the least - everyone was packed in like sardines in a tin. There was quite a nice little restaurant there though, with lovely views over the sea. We ended up going to the public beaches in Naama Bay.
I have had a few very enjoyable holidays in Egypt, but I must say this hotel was disappointing - we just felt the 'atmosphere/vibes' weren't right. Most other people staying there were diving enthusiasts, one woman we spoke to at breakfast admitted that the hotel was basic but that her party just used it as a base as most days they were out diving. Having said that, we paid an unbelievably low price for two weeks' B&B in low season, so it wasn't all bad!
Falcon Hills worth the money
I stayed at the falcon hills hotel 8- 22nd oct and thouroughly enjoyed myslf. It wasn't the heigfht of the season, but it was still very very hot. The hoel and it's facilites wre first rate and the staff were superb Egypt is a funny old place. you can go from immense wealth to poverty in the crossing of a street this is something you don't see in the hotel compound. and it's hard to visualise anything beyond the hotel. A taxi ride [about 35 egyptian � to naarma bay will soon dispel the idea there's nothing to do. A great holiday if you want to chill out by the pool and do nothing

Day 70
... term but unless monitored will quickly revert back to the lax attitude of before. There is a very high military presence around the airport and more checkpoints at entry roads to the resort areas. So the Sharm feels very safe, at least on the ground ( & even more so under the sea ) . The lack of tourists has meant there is no work for me at the moment, but at least i don't rely on it. However on a positive note, the reefs are quiet, and there's no queues at the bar ; ...

Major League showstoppers Jackie Robinson and Tom Seaver attended community college. So did R. Bruce Merrifield, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and Pulitzer-Prize winner Oscar Hijuelos.
Amarillo was a city without a college until 1929. That's when efforts of a dedicated citizenry paid off with the establishment of Amarillo College. Eighty-six students seized the opportunity that first fall semester.
These days, more than 10,000 students typically enroll in college-credit classes in a fall semester at AC. Usually about 61 percent of them express a desire to pursue a bachelor's degree. They rightly view AC as their launching pad.
AC was my launching pad to a degree at the University of Texas because my dad suggested I consider staying home for a year before moving on. I was given a rock-solid academic foundation at AC that helped me succeed at the university level, and we also saved some money.
Fast forward a few decades and you can see that my dad's advice makes even more sense today. Economic uncertainty is forcing us all to take stock of our finances, to make certain that our hard-earned dollars are wisely spent, and that certainly includes expenditures for higher education.
Eileen Collins, first female commander of the Space Shuttle, and Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise attended community college.
A full-time student residing in this community-college district who enrolls in 15 credit hours at AC can expect to pay about $880 for tuition and fees. That compares to approximately $3,100 for the same 15 hours at a public university in Texas, according to collegefortexans.com, and does not include room and board.
A recent independent marketing-research study found that AC's competitive advantages are quality, affordability and location. Perhaps you have seen our latest ad campaign, which asks "why pay more for the exact same classes?"
That AC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - the accrediting agency for all colleges and universities in Texas - speaks to AC's quality. So, too, does the success beyond AC of its students, who often outperform their counterparts once they move on to four-year schools.
When it comes to baccalaureate requirements for freshmen and sophomores, AC offers the same basic courses in English, history, math and science that public universities offer, and they are taught by exceptional faculty in intimate class settings. Moreover, state law dictates that these basic credits be accepted by Texas public universities that admit transfer students from community colleges.
Hollywood luminaries Clint Eastwood, George Lucas and Tom Hanks attended community college. So did Billy Crystal.
AC is not merely a launching pad for students in search of four-year-plus degrees. It also serves thousands of students every year who desire associate or certificate degrees in pursuit of all sorts of fantastic careers-in everything from aerospace manufacturing to nuclear medicine.
It may surprise you to know that 62 percent of all registered nurses and 84 percent of all first-responders in this state, including firefighters and paramedics, are educated by community colleges. On top of that, 75 percent of the state's freshmen and sophomores enroll each year at a community college.
They represent the graduates of tomorrow who probably are among the least likely to emerge from the educational process with onerous student debt.
Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, Calvin Klein and H. Ross Perot all attended community college.
These are difficult economic times. No one can predict what effect the current legislative session will have on Texas' college-going public. That is why it is incumbent upon your community college to keep you informed about opportunities for affordable higher education in your own backyard, which is precisely where our forefathers installed AC back in 1929, a somewhat rocky economic period in its own right.
That's correct, with Wall Street at its lowest ebb in the previous century Amarilloans were proactively securing the educational future for generations to come.
And year after year since then, AC has quietly gone about the business of providing quality education at an affordable cost.
AC might have failed in its valiant mission without outstanding community support.
But since its inception, Amarillo College has enjoyed incredible backing from its Texas Panhandle constituency, something evidenced most recently with passage in 2007 of a $68 million construction bond issue.
Mary Lou Robinson, the first woman to become an appellate judge in Texas, G. William Miller, former Federal Reserve Board chairman, and Ben Sargent, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist, attended a community college. In fact, they attended Amarillo College.
No college or university can be everything to everybody. But it is obvious that you can get your feet wet at a community college and become immersed ultimately in a great career, reach the highest levels of government or even achieve universal acclaim.
I bet Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise would agree that "launching pad" fits.
Paul Matney is acting president of Amarillo College.

Over the weekend, Breaking Dawn vampire actress Nikki Reed tied the knot with her boyfriend, American Idol cast member, Paul McDonald. The couple married in a ceremony in Malibu, California on Sunday, October 16th. According to MTV, a 100 guests showed up to the wedding ceremony including actress Alexa Vega who served as a bridesmaid. There has been no word on any Twilight Saga cast member in attendance.
Reed has spent over four years working close together with her co-stars, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene but only Reed's on-screen love interest, Kellan Lutz has tweeted a congrats to Reed. So, why hasn't anyone else from the Cullen clan wished their co-star well?
Rumors started during the New Moon promotional tour that Reed and Kristen Stewart had a falling out that involved Stewart's current boyfriend, Robert Pattinson. Fans speculated that Reed and Pattinson were hooking up, by the looks of this picture, during the filming of Twilight but the hooking up didn't last long. Stewart broke up with her boyfriend, Michael Angarano during New Moon filming and quickly after started dating Rob, which started the falling out between Reed, Stewart and Pattinson. Stewart and Reed both commented during initial production of Twilight and New Moon that her and Reed were good friends off-set, the girls even made out for their Twilight fans!
During production of New Moon sightings of the three cast mates had stopped and that's when rumors started to flare that something went awry between Reed, Pattinson and Stewart. Reed may not be friendly with Stewart and Pattinson anymore but she still counts Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz as good friends. Too view the video of Kristen and Nikki kissing, visit the 'Videos' tab.

At 1:00, my husband called and asked if I was in Mississippi yet. I said, "Actually, I'm 10 miles inside Alabama."
He said, "Don't you want to stop for lunch?"
I said, "I already did, and took a nap, too."
After all my adventures, I was afraid I might not be excited to be home. But a sense of peace descended as I approached Birmingham. It's the right place for me to be.

The Hudson County corrections officer whose service weapon was apparently used by her son in the killing of his half brother on Friday has hired a lawyer and investigators have been unable to interview her, The Jersey Journal reports.
"She is represented at this point, so the answer to that is no," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said yesterday about his office's ability to speak to Shaara Green-Simms, whose semiautomatic handgun was used in the shooting.

- Also leaving the hospital Saturday: former New York City mayor and "People's Court" judge Ed Koch, 74, more than a week after he suffered a minor heart attack. During his hospital stay he received a new pacemaker. (He received his first one after a minor stroke in 1987.) "I have no fear of death," Koch said before leaving Presbyterian Hospital. "But I want to go all at once, not slice by slice."
Elton Gets Pacemaker
Elton John walked out of a London hospital Saturday after having a heart operation to install a pacemaker. "I feel very well. I'm a bit stiff, a bit sore, but everything went really well," he told reporters outside London's Wellington Hospital. The surgical procedure, considered commonplace today, took place after doctors discovered that Elton, 52, had an irregular heartbeat.

Analysts argue that with Galaxy S IV Samsung is 'taking its last steps in Apple's shadow'
88 Comments
1. Aeires (unregistered)
Judging by the success of the SIII, I'd say they took those steps last year.
20. iWorld (Posts: 85; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Samsung will follow the same path which Apple has chosen.
22. teerex42 (Posts: 210; Member since: 14 Jun 2012)
Definitely, the S3 has surpassed the iPhone by leaps and bounds. The S4 will only destroy it even further. Whoever thumbed down Aeires truthful comment are only sore iCrap lovers HAHA. You can't handle the truth bitches!!!!
Samsung rules iCrap drools!!!!!!
38. BillyG (Posts: 305; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
iP5 sold more than GS3.
44. teerex42 (Posts: 210; Member since: 14 Jun 2012)
Billy if that was true it is only because of all the iSheep who don't know anything about anything but the iphone and they're blind to better technology that's out there. I have a lot of friends and family that traded in their iphone for the S3 and every single one which I counted was at 16 agree the S3 is far superior to the iphone with it's technology and screen!! I know it's a personal preference but I've played with both and the S3 blows the iphone away!
46. darkkjedii (Posts: 21295; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Not the is*** but the main stream consumer. That's who apple appeals to the most. It's also why Sammy re strategized there brand and is doing so well now.
77. rdemon (Posts: 49; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
IPhony 5 is the best selling phone in the U.S.!
GSlll rules the world.
48. taikucing (unregistered)
in your dream, not in real world
52. abdane (Posts: 494; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
GS3 9 million in 1 week, iPhone 5 just 5 million.
54. Eonnaydra (Posts: 217; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
Watch this video comparasion and you will see that iPhone 5 is faster than S3.So stop bashing Apple.
S3 looks like a cheap plastic with an ugly UI.
60. ama3654 (Posts: 295; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
With a 4 inch screen, less than HD display and static icon board, what do you expect?, try running Android on iphone 5 and you'll see how that icrap is gonna crawl to a halt
75. 9thWonderful (Posts: 232; Member since: 24 Jan 2013)
What do you expect? Android has issues running on its own hardware specs, of course it would have issues running on another hardware set up. Turn off wifi, turn off bluetooth, turn off GPS, shut down running apps to preserve battery, download battery optimizers smh...all of these ridiculous things you are instructed to do for your phone to run correctly. You would think w/all the technology and software optimizations that ppl claim comes out of the box that you wouldn't have to do all of this.
63. darkkjedii (Posts: 21295; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Good point but over the holiday season the ip5 obliterated the s3 in sales. My point is who really cares other than Sammy and apple, and they're the only ones who benefited too. Not you nor I.
58. pdub73 (Posts: 33; Member since: 25 Nov 2008)
whether that is true or not, I didn't get the GS3 for myself or my wife simply because way too many people had the phone...but I'm going to be one of the first to get the GS4...meanwhile Apple will nickle and dime the Iphone lovers with minor updatets with the iphone 5s...
74. 9thWonderful (Posts: 232; Member since: 24 Jan 2013)
Apparently Samsung is nickel and diming you w/the GS4 (GS3s update)...so i guess you and Apple have something in common.

The copier becomes the leader
35. donfem (Posts: 646; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Like Volks "copied" Ford?. Still trying to understand your point?
39. papss (unregistered)
Bud I don't think we are talking about VW here... But if we must I can tell you about reliability issues with my touareg ( there are MANY problems) but I'm fine with them. Now unlike the Korean copiers atleast my VW isn't made of cheap parts and terrible paint jobs
62. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Because dats what everyone looks for when purchasing a car, a good paint job... smh
71. heyhi (Posts: 131; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
are you trying to compare a car with a phone??donfem compared brands...a phone doesnt need to last many years, but a car is supposed to endure a lot of stuff and is carring people inside of it, so, must be at least strong to take all kinds of things and also, flagship phones are released every year to make YOU or other people buy it again..1 year lifetime and thats it...a car, at least for me, i cant change every year..
oh yeah, btw, im from Brazil and VW here, PEOPLE say, they cant stand their cheap materials and design, BELIEVE ME. A Touareg here is driven by very rich PEOPLE ONLY..
73. papss (unregistered)
I'm not sure what you mean by only rich driving touaregs because I'm most certainly not rich and I have one. My comment if you can scroll up I said nothing about my VW.. I was merely stating SS was the copier and now are the leader. It was donfem that had to make a idiotic comment about my picture like he might be able to hurt my feeling.. Seriously get over yourself. I swear the IQ of this sites members is dropping rapidly..
78. heyhi (Posts: 131; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
"Now unlike the Korean copiers atleast my VW isn't made of cheap parts and terrible paint jobs"...did you see when you wrote "....MY VW..."??
"My comment if you can scroll up I said nothing about my VW"
i dont care what you stated, you wrote it and thats it...and I stated that VW here is made of cheap parts like you said about the phone and i tried to explain why you cant compare a car with a phone....get over yourself?? tsc tsc....you sound like a very arrogant person..the IQ is dropping?? yeah, I couldnt agree more..comparing cars and phones...wow!!! what a high IQ!!
80. papss (unregistered)
Again if you hit that thing called "scroll" you will see it was first brought up by someone else.. Comprehend what is being said before speaking... They teach that in third grade. Yes I commented on VW only after I was jabbed about it. My friend if you feel SS makes quality phones more power to you.. I didn't drink their kool aid and I see their phones for what they are.. Cheaply made toys
82. heyhi (Posts: 131; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
yeah...i saw it since the first time...what you dont understand is that who brought it up compared CAR BRANDS...you should try to read and think before you write or speak stuff...they teach that since you're born...you're comparing oranges and apples...who said "I have a Touareg"??..who asked you that?? if you had said VW and Ford, thats ok....try to observe the title of the page..."samsung and apple"...not my car and my phone...i dont care what you think of the phone really!! I like Galaxy line and other phones as well, not only Samsung's..so, thats your opinion..you're just a blockhead who worships VW and still an arrogant...
83. heyhi (Posts: 131; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
and one more thing....when you said Korean copiers, arent you being racist?? i dont care if you meant samsung is korean, and i bet koreans dont care either, so be careful with your words...
84. papss (unregistered)
Wow.. AGAIN read and comprehend.. I said Korean copiers and then the other guy said like VW did with Ford. That is where the comparing started.. I know I know it's hard to read and understand..
Second I was not being racist but was stereotyping.. Big difference.. I know of four companies out of Korea that made a living off copying ( Hyundai, Kia, Samsung and LG) not that it's terrible but copying none the less.. Maybe you are just too sensitive or you might not know the difference

15. EXkurogane (Posts: 863; Member since: 07 Mar 2013)
There is a reason why the word "Analyst" start with the letters "anal...", because they talk sh!t a lot... But for this case i do agree with some of the points made.
16. cloud_atlas1991 (Posts: 61; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
I think it's not an anlysis based solely on the impending flagship but based on all their Galaxy units and how they faired with Apple's. So it's a valid argument.
3. REYNER (Posts: 187; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
i could not agree more about the article neck to neck competition in this year's current flagship each one has its advantage over the other and the real winner here are the consumer in a sense that they are no longer stuck on 2 or 1 manufacturer or os Kudos!! im really looking forward to a close fight! :)
4. sintruder (Posts: 109; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)

apple is nothing than a piece of crap.
Sammy is way better than apple although they gain their primary success through copying.
29. bucky (Posts: 2573; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Why is apple crap exactly?
49. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
You see them overpricing products and patenting (or trying to patent) almost everything. I don't have a issue with their products but their business practices make me cringe.
56. Eonnaydra (Posts: 217; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
and then why does NASA choose Apple products as their main handsets?Yes yes you are clever than Nasa.
65. dwgit (Posts: 37; Member since: 24 Dec 2012)
American Airlines Chose Samsung Over Apple When It Bought 17,000 Tablets
yeah yeah so what nasa choose apple products so what there sales arent doing well since iphone 4s its not even the top american company anymore thats why it sucks
81. JunkCreek (Posts: 407; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
may be because NASA wants to limited their employees communications to public, so they choose one that live in walled garden and full blocks building: apple.
NASA has a very sensitive informations that cannot distributes to public yet, if their employees given common handset it is feared accidentally exploited. not for it's security as BlackBerry, but for it's closed and limited environments, so the information cannot easily or accidentally exploit to publics and remain confidential.

As a Windows Fan I have to admit what Samsung has done with Android is nothing short of amazing. The GS3 sells like hot cakes and even people who've had bad Samsung devices in the past seem willing to buy a Note II or GS3. I sell cell phones so its nice to have the GSIV coming soon. It'll definitely help business =)
As for anyone being in anyones Shadow I don't either Samsung or Apple are in anyones Shadows. They're so far out in front.. for now at least.
19. GALAXY-STORM (Posts: 328; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
More than 75% of the world is in their shadow.
36. papss (unregistered)
No 75 % of the world.. That would be all adults total. It's % was of cell users
53. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Would that be 75% of just Samsung or Samsung and Apple?
55. papss (unregistered)
They SS rule with 75% of cell phones sold last year.

put this phone in a case and you wouldnt be able to Differentiate between it and the s3 , people will see this phone in your hand and they will get surprised telling you , watch out your s3 is getting a little bit taller :D

Samsung have to be close to overtaking and well if the you'd screen comes out on Thursday or later in 2014 well.....bye bye Apple!!
12. procopiojose (Posts: 132; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
s4 will be a great device.. i have my s3 for almost a year now and i can't take it away from my hands.. it is such a nice phone. especially when samsung added the multi window mode.. i don't know about some people crying over the design and the material used.. i used my s3 on almost everything i do it never broke. anyone who says s3 is ugly is just jealous of its success..
by the way.. htc one from behind kinda looks like xperia p.. just saying..
13. dynamo.one (Posts: 63; Member since: 14 Feb 2013)

I am now eying XZ .. . 5 months down the line when the steeply priced XZ crashes to $500 range on ebay.in ... i would want anyone except the two bullies called M$ and APPLE to gain market share. :)
21. lessnessman (Posts: 3; Member since: 12 Mar 2013)
I truly hope that Samsung does move away from copying Apple. It will be quite halarious to see them do something on their own for once, aside from the little gimmicks here and there.
For example, I do hope they get into eye scrolling, and to see how they implement it. They are not known for their user interface prowess and they do not have a good track record when it comes to understanding how people use their phones. They have simply adopted the Google Android OS, copied Apple's design, and even tried to copy Siri - and did so very poorly.
I am also glad there is so much "anticipation" for these new Sammy devices so they can now enjoy all the crazed genuflexction that goes on with the gaget crazed press.

They took their last steps in apples shadow with the s2 if you ask me. I loved the skyrocket

SOUTH African mining revenue fell 9,1% in the first quarter, fuelling concern that the sector was further losing its leading position in the economy as it battles high costs and safety stoppages.
The slump signals that the ailing sector is unlikely to make a meaningful contribution to growth this year, analysts said.
Statistics SA (StatsSA) said yesterday mining contributed the most to a decline in the total income of eight South African sectors, to R1,54-trillion in the first quarter, compared to R1,61-trillion in the last quarter of last year - a drop of 4,5%.
The mining sector's contribution to first-quarter economic growth was also negative, according StatsSA's Quarterly Financial Statistics, published yesterday.
Mining and manufacturing account for a large portion of growth and jobs in SA.
The unemployment rate rose to 25,2% in the first quarter, driven by hefty job losses in the manufacturing and construction sectors. With mines closing down and cutting back on expansion, the unemployment rate could accelerate.
Revenue decreased in six of the eight sectors surveyed by StatsSA, including trade and manufacturing. Turnover increased only in real estate and other business services; and in the community, social and personal services sectors (excluding the government).
Slowing demand from SA's main trading partners and weakness in commodity prices are putting huge pressure on mining, with platinum miners currently bearing the brunt.
Vusi Mabena, senior executive for transformation and stakeholder relations at the Chamber of Mines, said the platinum industry may have contributed the most to the decline in mining turnover. He warned more headwinds were on the way for platinum miners.
Mr Mabena pinned hopes for a recovery on a task team established by Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu, on which the chamber and labour are also represented.
"We are busy working ... to look at what can be done to salvage the dire straits in the sector," he said. "The social partners have formed the task team to explore ways of saving jobs and find proper markets for the sustainable sale of platinum. The answers are not out yet, the team is still busy."
Wayne McCurrie, portfolio manager at Momentum Asset Management, said about 40% of platinum miners were producing at a loss, which could force some to reduce production. Aquarius Platinum has already closed its Everest and Marikana operations, citing low demand and prices; and high electricity and labour costs.
"Gold, iron ore and coal miners are still producing and making money, but they are being paid less for it," Mr McCurrie said.
Challenges in the mining sector appeared to be far from resolution in the short term, according to head of research at Imara SP Reid, Steve Meintjies.
He said that lower commodity prices and overproduction would be among factors to watch.
"Safety stoppages are also affecting platinum miners. Platinum is in a tight spot right now."
The global economy is still marred by uncertainty, mainly stemming from the sovereign debt woes of European countries.
Absa Capital expected a combination of weaker global demand, potential strikes and electricity constraints to affect mining and manufacturing.
"We are not forecasting a decline but we're certainly going to see a lesser contribution from these sectors this year," Gina Schoeman, Absa Capital's lead economist on SA, said yesterday.
The future of the mining sector is under discussion at the African National Congress's national policy conference.
Delegates were debating whether a 50% windfall tax on mines should be implemented, as well as export levies on strategic minerals and capital gains tax on the transfer of mineral rights.
Analysts warn these proposals could lead to a flight of much-needed capital in the sector.

Product Review (submitted on September 13, 2012):
I've been drinking full-bodied, brisk, malty Assams all my life. Then I had to switch to decaf. This is the only decaf tea I have found that comes even close. It actually tastes like Assam. Really quite rich. I take tea with milk, and this stands up to it. Hasn't got the thin taste that most other decafs have. Highly recommended.

Tracy Mourning's 12th Annual 'Hats Off' luncheon
Honey Shine mentoring program raises funds for its 'Honey Bugs'
Ashley Montgomery | 5/15/2014, 9 a.m.
At this year's 12th Annual Hat's Off Luncheon more than 600 people came to show their support for the Honey Shine mentoring program while sporting their best hats — Kentucky Derby style.
Tracy Mourning, founder of 'Honey Shine', a program that aims to balance the mind, body and soul in girls and women through nurturing experiences that enlighten their paths and empower their future.
Held in the ballroom of Jungle Island, The 'Hat's Off' luncheon was a fundraiser for Mourning's "Honey Bugs" — an affectionate term the young girls of 'Honey Shine' call themselves. A silent auction and pop-up shop was held before the luncheon kicked off. All proceeds from the event went towards the 'Honey Shine' mentoring program.
Each year, supporters, friends, and sponsors sport their favorite hats and "Miami chic" for an illustrious program. This
year's theme, "Architects of Our Future: Imagine. Create. Achieve" set the tone for a great day.
"I have been to many luncheons in Miami and our 'Hats Off' Luncheon for Honey Shine truly is all about our Honey Bugs," Mourning said. "They are the 'architects of our future' — this is what we want them to do."
Master of ceremony Louis Aguirre, an anchor on Deco Drive, a news magazine show on WSVN Channel 7, warmed up the crowd with his personable spirit and light-hearted jokes.
"This event is very important, as it is an opportunity to showcase the work of the organization and how impartial it is to not only the lives of the girls, but also everyone associated with the cause," said Allaire Williams, creator of the The Daily Latte blog.
An emotional video was played during lunch that visibly moved the crowd to donate funds. The proceeds will help send a 'Honey Bug' to a summer camp program. 'Lady Bugs' took up the donations and distributed balloons to highlight the number of contributions. Soon, nearly the entire ballroom became a sea of yellow balloons.
"Coming from this community — down south in Goulds — and having it come full circle and for our community, to support our girls — that look just like me, I'm so excited," Mourning said.
Mourning and Jenkins presented 'The Honey Bug of the Year Award' to Catherine Jenkins, who said her journey has exceeded all of her expectations thus far.
"Ever since my sister passed away I've become shy and closed and this program has helped me become more open with people," Jenkins said. "It's helped me with creating new friendships and becoming close like sisters. It's all about sisterhood and this program has helped me with that."
Jenkins is currently a student at Miami Country Day.
"She mentioned that her sister passed away but what she did not say is that she witnessed it," Mourning said. "For anyone to have to experience that and to continue to push on and to come out here and shine like this . . . this is what Honey Shine is all about."
This year's Power of One award went to Lauren Book, founder of Lauren's Kids.
Book thanked Mourning for being an inspiration to her and for having someone that she could look up to. Her mission for Lauren's Kids is to prevent sexual abuse through awareness and education and to help survivors heal with guidance and support.
Sister Suzanne Cooke, RSCJ the Headmistress of Carrolton School of the Sacred Heart also received a Power of One Award. Cooke has served as an educator and serves on many boards like St. Stephen's Episcopal Day School.
To conclude the luncheon, the 'Honey Bugs' showcased their dancing and modeling skills as they strutted down the runway as they smiled. The clothes were provided by Target and Chinese Laundry. The show reflected the progress made by Honey Shine and the Mourning Family Foundation.
"My favorite moment was the fashion show — it was full of energy, excitement and showed how poised and confident the girls are as a result of being in Honey Shine," Williams said.

1. It seems like every time my local barista memorizes my drink order, it's time for us to move. I love walking up to the counter and having my drink already made, waiting for me.
2. Speaking of coffee – are all people that work at coffee shops called baristas or is that just at Starbucks?
3. This week my students are so happy because I added CHARMS candies to the prize box. They describe them as a mix between Light Sabers {aka Life Savers} and Starburst. The red ones are supposedly the best, the white are the worst.
4. At 7AM on Saturday morning I'll be anxiously waiting at the starting line of the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon – my first half marathon of 2014! I still haven't written my race recap of the Reston 10 Miler…
5. For Lent I gave up candy and soda, specifically gum and Diet Hansen's {Cherry Vanilla Crème}. I'm addicted. I was going strong until Tuesday when I decided to make an exception for dark chocolate because, well, it's basically a health food. Read more about why including dark chocolate in your daily diet can actually be beneficial here.
6. I've outlined three posts this week a – a recap of the Reston 10 Miler, a weekend recap for MIMM, and a handful of food pictures for WIAW… But they're still just drafts because I either fell asleep asleep with my computer on my lap or had to run out the door to a meeting before school and I didn't have time to finish later. Hopefully I step-up my game next week.
7. I've had a serious hankering for tuna fish this week. I packed it for lunch on Monday, again on Tuesday, made a tuna melt for dinner Tuesday night, and made another wrap for lunch yesterday. All because I learned a little secret… Tuna fish + hummus is a life changing combo. With every bite I repeatedly said {to myself} "OMG. This is so good! OMG! OMG!" so I'm calling it OMG Tuna Fish Salad.
OMG Tuna Fish Salad
Ingredients {serves 1}:
- 1 small can of tuna fish
- 2 tbsp hummus
- 1 tsp honey mustard
- 1/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 – 2 tbsp sundried tomatoes
- seasoned salt *to taste*
- black pepper *to taste*
In a medium bowl, flake the tuna into chunks. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate if not eating right away.

9. Have you seen these Portable Protein Packs from Oscar Mayer {aka the adult Lunchable}?
10. After my students finish their classwork or a quiz, I let them "play" with math flashcards to keep quiet until everyone is done. On Monday one student started singing "Everyday I'm shuffling. Everyday I'm shuffling. Everyday I'm shuffling." while shuffling his flashcards. And then the other students joined in. It was hilarious!
Thanks Amanda for hosting another link-up!
Question: Tuna fish – yay or nay? Tuna fish out of a can is a yay {obviously}, but the raw stuff is a nay for me.
Question: If you could drop everything and go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?

With the third quarter here for the Saints, I gotta express some love for Chris Reis, the backup safety fighting for a roster spot. He's making plays -- including an athletic interception on the Dolphins' last drive.
Meanwhile, LSU is close to blowing their game wide open. The Tigers may try a few deep ones in the third quarter to put MSU away.
Does Lou Holtz speak English? I'm just sayin'.
Tyler Palko could be playing better, but he hasn't been awful. I think he'll settle down and show us something soon.
Olindo Mare is 6 of 9 this preseason. If that holds up this year, it will match most of his recent production in Miami, which is to say good, but not great. It's his kickoffs that Saints fans are excited about -- he better keep excelling in that facet or the fans will turn on him. They may turn on him anyway.
How can you not be impressed by Pierre Thomas? He showed elusiveness and even a little power on that run. Fast, quick, powerful and he runs harder than just about anyone I've ever seen -- he's just plain good, The Saints have a tough choice to make.
What the heck was Palko doing throwing into double coverage deep? That was a bad decision -- which have marked his play ever since his freshman year at Pittsburgh. It may not hurt the team -- it acts almost like a punt -- but you just can't do that. Martin has shown tonight that Palko still has a ways to go.
I stand by what I said earlier -- Flynn can make the tough throws, the important throws. He hasn't been sharp, but you can still see the potential.
I just saw one of the nastiest hits I've ever seen on a crackback block downfield. I'm surprised that guy isn't seriously hurt.
Doucet touchdown and the game starts to get away from the Bulldogs. It was really only a matter of time, given MSU's offensive woes, so it's not terribly impressive that LSU is starting to do what it should have been doing a quarter ago. Still, Flynn looked good on that drive, and you have to be encouraged by that.
Mississippi State is packing it in. The blocking on their last screen pass was awful, and it was a lazy call by the coordinator anyway. If LSU can't roll them over the next several drives, then something is wrong.
Something is askew here. A Saints preseason game has maybe twice as many commercials as the LSU game on national television. Is it any wonder many fans are becoming disillusioned with the pro game? C'mon, NFL executives, try to hide your greed a little bit. It'll do wonders for your long-term well being.
Speaking of askew, despite all the commercials, the Saints are two-thirds of the way through the fourth quarter already, after just a shade over 2 hours! That isn't the sort of thing one regularly sees in these cases.
Has anyone seen that lame Saints swimsuit calender commercial. Granted, it features girls in bikinis, which is something I can get behind. Still, the awful Fleur-de-lis in bikini is one of the dorkiest things I've ever seen. I can probably think of worse commercials, but they escape for some reason right now...
Right place at the right time, but you've got to appreciate the talent Reis displayed in diving for and making his latest interception. Is that his 23rd of the night? Actually, he has four tackles and two interceptions, which is impressive enough.
Pickup line alert: As my butt began to numb and fall off, I exclaimed, "My bum hurts." My girlfriend replied, "That's 'cause you have a hot *ss!!!!"
That's gold, Jerry, gold!
Pierre Thomas stat line update: After bursting up the middle for another nice gain, Thomas is up to 81 yards and touchdown on 16 carries, 47 yards on two receptions and a kickoff return for 35 yards. I am now a Thomas fanboy. Maybe I should put his poster on my wall.
Palko fumbled, so I think we can kill all that "he should be the backup" talk. Not a great outing ...
