Not what we were promisedData di pubblicazione: 18-ago-2014
We are a non-smoking family, that reserved a non-smoking room, & had to stay in a smoking room. Not acceptable since it's not what we wanted & one of us is an asthmatic! The manager was at first very rude to us, then suddenly changed his tune. The AC filters had not been cleaned in a LONG time. Not happy!

Wanted to check out as soon as I saw the room. Wallpaper was pealing off wall. Found tape by seams of wallpaper to keep together. Mold was in the bathroom by ceiling. Refrigerator and microwave looked like it was from the 80's. Walls needed washed. Didn't see any bugs and the staff was polite. Don't bother with the continental breakfast. 2 tables in the lobby to sit to eat cereal. Did like the location.

Economical place to sleep while visitingData di pubblicazione: 17-ago-2014 su Hotels.com
Hotel check in was easy and quick, friendly staff. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. New flat screen tv's. The only issue I had is I have a sensitivity to perfumes and smoke - and they clearly use a very strong scented deodorizer which was just very strong masking the smell of something rather than deodorizing it. Breakfast was very basic but better than nothing as we're not big eaters anyway. For the price, I'd stay here again (just show up earlier and air the strong scent out first).

How do you make old-fashioned popcorn in a covered pan or pot?
- free sample addict aka Tracy L Aug 9, 2006 03:09 AM
I used to make it all the time when I was a kid and then air poppers and microwave poppers came out. I'd love to make popcorn the old fashioned way in a covered pot but I can't seem to remember the proportions. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks
I remember putting some oil in the pot...putting some popcorn in...covering it, heating it, and letting it pop! Honestly, clueless about measurements in those days! I would think, just guessing, enough oil to cover the bottom of the pot and a bit more...stirring the popcorn to coat...getting it hot enough and it will pop. Some may burn..and most won't as the covered pot will also produce a certain amount of steam! I look forward to responses!
re: Jesdamala
I agree with your recipe. I've never measured the oil:kernel ratio, I'd just make sure it was enough to cover the bottom of the pan.. Just eye it., I don't think they really ever used measuring cups in the olden days anyway.
re: beccabones
Ditto, just don't add too much popcorn. It goes a long way. I used to do like 1/2 and just enough oil to coat the bottom is all. Still make it that way when my friends come over for a movie. The rest of the time. I have those small snack bags for just me.
We always make ours in a wok. My husband puts in enough oil to cover the bottom, then turns the burner on high, puts in three kernels, and puts the lid on the wok. When he hears all three kernels pop, he pours in enough popcorn to come about a half inch above the oil (At least that's what it looks like to me. I'll ask him when I have the chance.), then covers it again and starts shaking the wok back and forth on the burner (a maneuver that will be remembered by those whose popcorn memories predate air poppers and microwaves). When he doesn't hear any more popping, he takes it off the burner. A few more will pop when the wok is uncovered. He makes an entire wok full of popcorn this way.
(Digression: As far as pre-'70's convenience popcorn goes, I guess you can still buy Jiffy Pop--haven't thought about it in a long time--it was good except when it caught on fire, which happened fairly often!)
Nine minutes later:
I asked my scientific spouse, and instead of estimating, he insisted on going and getting out the wok, the popcorn, and the oil. He measured the usual amount of popcorn, which turned out to be 3/4 cup, and the usual amount of oil, which was 3 tablespoons, So maybe a ratio of 1 T. oil to 1/4 c. popcorn is appropriate, except as he cautioned, "It's a wokload, not a panload."
Now I need to go wash the wok, in appreciation. Hope this helps!
re: zorra
I've been cooking popcorn in a wok for decades. Using a regular pot with a lid will trap moisture which is absorbed by the popped kernals, making them tougher.
The secret is an el cheapo Asian made wok you can get for next to nothing at a restaurant supply place and not the fancy schmancy pseudo-woks you get by Calphalon and other makers of cookware.
The el cheapo's have lids that don't seal, thereby letting the steam escape which results in crispy popcorn.
And yes, real butter. Is that even in question?
I prefer not to eat microwave popcorn.
re: bkhuna
Unfortunately not all of us have woks. My pot and cover always seemed to work fine. Never noticed any tough kernels.
But butter of course for me. But now a days, I eat micro all the time. I usually eat popcorn at work which in on a boat. So snack size in a micro. They have come a long ways and not too bad. Still love fresh popped but it has been a while. Just for me ... I wouldn't bother getting another pan dirty. But understand the tradition.
re: kchurchill5
"Not too bad" translates to not too good. I can clean the pan in less than a minute. We always give the lid a crack to release the steam as others have suggested, a wok is not necessary. I just don't trust all the "stuff" added to microwave popcorn. C'mon kchurchill5, give fresh one more try, sounds like you could pull it off on a boat although space is surely at a premium. It's just so much better.
re: James Cristinian
No burner, no cabinets, just an ultra small micro and a very tiny small electric grill on top when necessary, lol. Not much room even for jiffy pop :) But agree, probably much better. Popcorn is my afternoon snack usually so don't have many comfort of home.
re: kchurchill5
Ah, jiffy pop. I don't think there was any way of making that without burning it. That must explain my love for burned popcorn and the old maids. There is nothing finer than melted butter over burned popcorn, but the non burned is good as well. The trick is to pour most of the popcorn off before it burns, and then cook the rest to desired burntness. It also requires a pot dedicated to burned popcorn.
re: bkhuna
I like microwave popcorn. I buy standard popcorn, put it in a paper bag, use enough oil to just cover each kernal, and heat it in the microwave on the 'popcorn' setting (sounds like 30%). Perfectly fluffy using very little oil - it gets dressed in a lot of different ways after that. I've also used a plain dish and plate to to the same thing. This way I have the convenience, the amount I want, and the lower cost without all the nasty stuff they put in pre-packed microwave popcorn.
re: alwayscooking
Thats a good idea, thx. On a boat we are so crunched for space but I could take that. Nice thought. I usually just use a little salt, very little not much else for me. Although I like lots of topping, I try to go simple most times.
re: kchurchill5
You really don't even need oil to do the paper-bag-in-microwave...just apply butter & salt afterwards or whatever you're putting on it. I do mine in the microwave...just 1/3 cup of kernels...microwave for 2 1/2 minutes...it's ready...lately I've been making it a little healthier with Bragg Liquid aminos and nutritional yeast...but butter and salt works too!
re: Val
Thx, salt a little ... butter, ABSOLUTELY, forgot to mention that above. I have some horrible powdered powdered butter but it's a boat, so I'm lucky to have anything I can get out there. Lunch is usually cold tuna and a sub or salad, anything we make ahead in the cooler. So the micro is our friend out there, especially at night surveys, we try to bring stuff we can heat on the boat. We grilled grouper on this tiny grill up top and I made mashed potatoes and asparagus and a warm balsamic dressing for some bagged salad. Amazing what you can do in a micro. It won't be on my catering menu, but not too shabby for micro cooking :)
Popcorn is our craving in the afternoon, or at least mine
re: kchurchill5
Popcorn is my favorite salty snack, hands down. Even above cheetos or potato chips...oh, dear!
I do this all the time. Turn the heat on high. Put enough oil to cover the botton of the pot thinly. Add three popcorn kernels. Put the cover on the pot. When the first kernel pops add enough more popcorn to cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer. Turn the heat down to medium, cover the pot with a small crack at the top so steam can escape, and shake the pot periodically.
When the pops become less frequent than one per 15 seconds or so it's done.
re: Euonymous
My parents used to make popcorn in a covered pot all the time. I don't recall proportions of oil to corn. If I recall correctly they used a pressure cooker, but without the pressure weight (steam escapes from the vent). The other key thing was to shake the pan continually while corn was popping. The shaking is a substitute for the stirring paddle that you see in old fashioned poppers.
Thanks for the great tip! The next time I pop corn, I'll remember to use the wok and a metal colander for the lid. I like the idea of letting steam escape as the corn pops.
I use mostly veg. oil, but then drizzle a little red pepper infused oil into the pot. I like it spicy, but you could use any flavor that appeals to you - as much or as little as you like.
re: piccola
I realize that piccola asked this in 2006, but since the thread has been revived: you can use very little oil; not sure if it can be omitted completely. I use a deep 3-qt pot with an 8" diameter. It is nonstick but it's old and no longer lives up to that promise. I put in just enough oil to barely coat the bottom, then add the kernels but do not stir. I assume the purpose of the oil is to prevent the bottom of the kernels from scorchingand am not so much concerned with coating the whole kernel. I add about 1/3 cup kernels. They don't burn and there are maybe 6-8 duds, which I once heard defined as "poopcorn". ;-)
re: piccola
Yes you can pop corm with no oil - it's the way I've popped corn since the 70's after our air popper melted. You have to be careful to not burn the popcorn as the pan does not transfer heat to the kernels as efficiently as oil.
To me stovetop popcorn has a better texture than mico popcorn. Of course it could just be my imagination.
And yes, I too am jumping into a long dormant thread, but what the heck.
I highly recommend the WHIRLEY POP. After you work with it a little you can make popcorn with very little oil, a lot of oil, or a mix of oil and butter.
I have been using 1 Tbs butter, 1 Tbs EVOO and 2/3 cup popcorn.
It makes a whole lot of popcorn and has a rich buttery taste with about 1 tsp fat per portion.
I have a huge bowl of perfect popcorn in front of me now.. lol Originally It took me a few goes to master but now I have it down pact and with many requests when people come over lol (which can be hard work if you have a heavy pot!) I use either olive oil or pure virgin coconut oil which gives it a yummy, slightly creamy taste. Use about 3T on the bottom of the pan and let sit on med- high heat for about a min. Then cover the base with kernels, put the lid on and start shaking the pot every 10 seconds or so. I found that when I didnt shake as much, there would always be burnt ones and they wouldnt pop to the fullest size. Keep doing this till they starting popping and turn the heat off when you can start to count the single pops. Dont take the lid off till you hear only a couple. Pour into a bowl and add a good sprinkling of sea salt. :)
I've been converted to theater style popcorn, my wife loves it. Gott'a have the large bucket and the free refill on the way out of the movies when we go. We have one of those pots with the crank that spins the cornels around while popping. There pretty cheap at Target if you get just the pot. They sell one with extra junk you don't need for a lot more. We find the best results come from the all-in-one pre-measured oil and popcorn bags that are made to feed the commercial popcorn machines. We buy them at a Cisco's store and I think maybe Sam's Club might sell them also. The only problem is that the package contains way too much for a stove top pot. What we do is use half the flavored oil and half the corn. There is a seasoning mixed in with the corn that needs to be halved as well. This is a pain but well worth it. We run the corn through a sieve to separate the seasonings from the corn and use half at a time. The first time we made it I didn't notice the seasoning so all the seasoning went in the first half or batch. Tastes just like the movie theater. The second batch / half tasted differently like it was missing something. After a close inspection of another bag I saw the seasoning in with the corn. I imagine you could make this in a regular pot as well (never tried). The idea came to use the commercial stuff after we had received the crank style pot for Xmas gift. Anyone who loves theater popcorn should try this, it is great. I should say that in researching the theater style popcorn, one of the keys was said to be using coconut oil which I could never find locally. Once we found this we never looked back.
re: TimCarroll
If you are still looking for coconut oil, you should be able to find it in a local health food store.
re: TimCarroll
I've heard so many controversial things about coconut oil it isn't funny!
A co-worker is taking a health/nutrition class at her church by a man (who is NOT an m.d.) but who is a chef and fitness freak...he TOTALLY advocates coconut oil (she brought some to work and mixed it with lime juice for a salad dressing)...Dr. Weil on the other hand who IS an m.d. does not and you can find conflicting opinions about it on the 'net by others too.
re: Val
People are confused when it comes to coconut oil and its been given a bad rap as there are some pretty crappy substitutes out there, but its actually one of the healthiest oils to use in cooking, provided your using virgin coconut oil. I actually order mine off the net as the last time i bought it in a store, it was so far from the real thing- it wouldn't even melt! ugh... If you can get your hands on the real stuff, its great for your immune system and boosts the metabolism etc plus the taste awesome in cooking. Popcorn is among my favorites to use it with, as well as in pancakes and muffins!
re: Beebee11
Thanks, Beebee...interesting to get another perspective...I'm pretty sure that my co-worker was talking about virgin coconut oil. I try not to use any oils for cooking but sometimes, you just have to! Heating up the oil is when there are all kinds of chemical changes happening, some not healthy. Her nutrition instructor was talking about medium-chains and lots of chemical-related jargon--I just don't know enough about it to really assess.
re: Val
Yeh i still dont get all the chemical equations either! :) But apparently the virgin coconut oil is not destroyed by heat nor does it become hydrogenated like other oils, so its great to use in cooking. Im always looking for info on natural health and am picky with my oils too! But i do swear by organic virgin olive/ coconut oils and am not shy when it comes to using them lol.. infact going to pop some corn now!
re: Beebee11
The health controversy with coconut oil, comes from the fact that most coconut oil in this country (and the palm too) was hydrogenated at the point that people started becoming trans fat aware. Hydrogenated coconut is bad. The natural kind is not unhealthy (though caloric) in the same way.
re: Stuffed Monkey
Coconut and palm oil developed a bad reputation before the current focus on hydrogenated fats. They are, naturally, more saturated than oils like soy and corn. Manufacturers, especially in Europe, have used them in baked goods, for the same reason that solid fats like Crisco and butter have been used. A lot of the bad press seems to have come from the competitions, the marketers of the temperate oils (soy etc).
With the current focus on transfats as the bad boy, these naturally saturated fats have received some rehabilitation, though I still take the claims that 'organic, natural' palm (or coconut) fat is healthy with a big grain of salt.
I'm a popcorn fanatic, so I've been perfecting my technique in this area. :-) I don't measure the oil--just throw it in there, and swirl it around until it entirely covers the bottom of the pan. (I use canola or avocado oil.) Then I sprinkle in half a cup of popcorn, distributing it evenly across the pan. I turn the heat to medium and crack the lid on the pot.
I noticed that a few pieces of the popcorn were coming out a little brown. So I started this technique that seems to prevent that: About halfway through popping--if you can imagine the popping as a bellcurve, try to time it past the peak of the bellcurve, but still near the top--slip the lid back on and, with a couple potholders, pick up the pot off the stove and shake it vigorously. Put the pot back on the stove, crack the lid again, and finish popping. Of course, you got to time it just right with taking it off the stove--soon enough to prevent burning but not too soon that you have a lot of unpopped kernels. This just takes practice.
To "fix" the popcorn, we use 2 T. of melted butter. Sometimes my husband will mix in a little oil with the butter. We pour the butter over the popcorn, then gently mix with a spatula. Next, we add 2 T. of brewer's or nutritional yeast--lately we've used a brand called Bluebonnet. (If you go this route, be careful which kind you buy. Some brewer's yeasts are bitter. We bought one from GNC that was that way.) Then add about 1/2 to 1 tsp. salt. Perfect!
re: Sunny Days
The shaking and moving are actually very important steps in making popcorn in a kettle pot. The gadgets that rotate the corn are just moving the kernals around differently. Are you old enough to remember the popcorn in the aluminum foil pan that blew up into a large foil ball (Jiffy Pop)? You were told to shake it constantly. Burning is avoided more efficiently this way.
A large pot with handles and a lid is key. Preferably light enough that the cook can shake it around easily. We used to use a light weight stainless steel pot (something like Revere ware, something like a four quart Dutch oven), unmeasured oil just the way you said (we used vegetable oil) and about a half cup of kernals. The shaking was constant, and the lid had to be lifted a little to let the steam out several times during the process. We NEVER let it sit on the burner for more than a few seconds at a time. That was in invitation to disaster.
The basics for stovetop popcorn are:
1/2 cup popcorn (very fresh is important)
3 tbsp oil
Clarified butter
Popcorn salt
Put in a large pot over medium high heat and cover the pan. When you hear the first kernels begin to pop crack the lid slightly to vent being careful of the steam. Slide the pan back and forth, left and right on the burner to ensure even heating of all kernels. When the popping slows down remove from heat and pour popcorn into a large bowl. Finish by drizzling with melted, clarified butter and sprinkling with powdered popcorn salt (Morton's and Diamond Crystal both make this) to taste.
To get the movie theater flavor you would use coconut oil (red coconut oil is popular) and Flavacol (powdered, butter-flavored salt with yellow coloring) added to the oil and unpopped kernels at the beginning and then proceed as above. You might use less butter and salt at the end due to the Flavocol.
I too have been popping corn regularly since I was a child, and have been perfecting my technique for the last thirty years. I got a great tip from one of Alton Brown's shows – heat everything at once.
Here is my method – Put enough oil in the pan to cover the bottom of the pot, not quite one kernel deep. Dump in your raw corn and heat. I swish everything around so all the kernels get coated in oil. Shake the pot often. Once it starts popping, shake every few seconds. Usually blows the lid of the pot, so keep a couple bowls handy. If the popcorn is fresh, cooking it this way will leave very few "old maids" behind.
I like to use corn oil if I have it, otherwise, typically use vergetable oil.A few kernels my burn if I'm not quick on the shake, but I've acquired a taste for them. My current seasoning of choice is smoked hickory salt, man that's good!
Here's my approach:
Heavy bottomed pot (Avoid hot spots), at least eight quarts. Pressure cooking pots work especially well.
EVOO to coat bottom of pot. Don't preheat; you'll burn the popcorn.
A splatter guard instead of a lid - moisture goes right out! *Much* crisper product. You'll want long oven gloves to keep the guard on while avoiding steam burns and splattering oil.
Add the popcorn. I use a lot (two-three layers) but have to move the pot initially to coat the kernels. Cover with guard. Have a bowl at the ready - I use a clean paper grocery bag.
Turn heat to high. until the first kernels pop, then cut back heat just a little; say, to medium high. Your mileage may vary.
Keep the pot moving at moderate speed, distributing the oil through the kernels as the oil heats. As the popping gets faster, well, so do you! Get butter melting - this one of the times I use the good cultured stuff.
If the pot fills then carefully dump some of the popped corn into the awaiting bowl or bag.
When popping slows turn off the heat. Dump the popped corn into the bowl/bag. Add melted butter and shake vigorously. This is why I like the paper bag - I can shake a bunch. The bag gets butter stained, but who cares? Add salt to taste, shaking to distribute. Pour into bowls. Eat.
This may take a little practice, so invite me over me over and I'll help...
re: Richard 16
I also use a splatter screen, but put a paper towel underneath it, loosely (there's enough gaps to let steam out). It cuts greasiness down to the perfect medium.
Also, you need to use Diamond Crystal table salt - its what "popcorn salt" is to people who use Morton's...
I got this one tip for getting all the kernels to pop from somewhere online a while a go. Now I modified it and use the same technique for an even stove top coffee roasting (minus the use of oil):
1)Heat a good sturdy cast iron or stainless steel pan/pot on medium high until about to smoke. To determine the temperature you can put in a couple of kernels so that you know when they pop that it's the right temp.
2) pour in coil and the rest of the popcorn kernels swiftly. (better to have it measured out so you can do it quickly.
3)put the lid on, shake to evenly distribute oil, and take it off the fire for 30 seconds with lid on.
4)put it back on fire and constantly shake the pan, keeping the lid slightly open to let steam escape,but careful not too large a crack for flying popcorns.
5)popcorn will pop together evenly. so listen for the decreasing sounds of hard kernel hitting the pan.
It will become silent. Turn off heat. Open lid to let the steam escape.
re: HLing
would advise forgetting all your complicated cockamaymee recipes, and get yourself the WHIRLEY-POP.
It makes the best Popcorn ever, on your stovetop, with as much or as little oil as you like, in less time it takes to microwave.
Our latest favorite is 1 TBS EVOO, 1 TBS Butter 1/3 cup Orville Redenbacker Popcorn. When it is finished popping, whirl in 1/4-1/2 tsp Truffle Oil.
re: F Schubert
Because of mentions on CH, about 1-2 years ago I bought a Whirley-Pop even tho I read reviews that they were making them with plastic gears that would melt and break. I bought one, anyway -- liked the popcorn. Well, it happened to me and I contacted the company. They were SO NICE, sent me new gears and I figured out how to replace. Well, I pop corn about once every 2-3 months. The new gear wore out after about 3 uses. (I do not use high heat, just regular.)
I decided to give up and I threw it all into the garbage -- in the future will just use a regular pot and lid. They should be ashamed making a product like this.
re: walker
I have a whirley pop- and it is ancient. Still works like a charm. The gears on mine are not plastic, maybe that is the problem. We use it all the time- bring it on vacation with us every summer, and make buckets of popcorn every night for 20+!
I also love to do popcorn over the fire in the fire place or camp fire. I don't use any oil and the corn turns out smoked and fluffy. Really delicious!
Alton Brown recommends using a foil covered metal mixing bowl and using tongs as a handle. I haven't tried it, but it seems a good idea especially if you don't have a wok.
we used to make all the time. Enough oil to cover the bottom of your pot. Then add enough popcorn to cover the bottom of pot. cover and stay with it shakeing the pot every so often. Then when you hear the first kernal pop you should hold the pan above the burner and shake often setting it down every so often to re heat to make the kernals pop again. when done pour the popcorn in a brown paper bag and pour on top how ever much butter you like and close that bag up and shake it reall good to cover ther kerneals with butter and your ready.
I use an old pressure cooker that has had the seal blown out.
A tablespoon of oil, (try bacon fat or duck fat sometime!), and then a layer of corn on the bottom.
The pressure cooker is the old kind that has a valve on the top that a heavy cap sat on, and that allows the steam to escape.
I keep that old pan just for popcorn; (Alton's uni-tasker rule be damned!).
A tablespoon of oil with 1/4 cup of popcorn. Heat oil to just before smoking point, add corn, cover shake and get ready with salt and flavoring. Your oil cannot be too warm or overheated.
re: fldhkybnva
You do need a thick bottom pot or your corn will scorch. You can also use an electric fry pan if you have one.
I have a cast-iron pot designed for frying tempura. It has an enameled steel lid. For the past 35 years I have used it only for making popcorn. It is certainly seasoned for the task, and the heat retention of the cast iron ensures that very few kernels are left unpopped.
Used cast iron oven 8.5 in W x 5 in H with measured 2 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil and a ½-cup of Bob's Red Mill non-GMO popcorn. Heat source, 1800W Magneflux induction cook top, set to 450°.
Heated up oil with 3 kernels, took 1 min 45 sec for all to pop. Added a ½-cup of kernels to oven; placed kitchen towel over open oven (catches steam) then put the lid on over the towel.
Out of half a cup of kernels, only 2.5 oz actually popped (weighed un-popped kernels.) Ultimately, the temperature was right there, popping was occurring, still the end result lacked the luster of a full popping session. I dislike wasting foodstuffs.
Same cast iron oven makes delicious roasts, chili and scores of desserts.
Seems something relatively simple like popping corn should not be difficult to accomplish.

Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Trainer Prefers Tyson Fury, Not Rahman Bout
Teddy Atlas, trainer of WBA "regular" heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (23-0, 16KOs), would prefer to have to his boxer face British/Commonwealth champion Tyson Fury (17-0, 12KOs) - and not WBA mandatory challenger Hasim Rahman (50-7-2, 31KOs). Last Saturday in Helsinki, Povetkin made the first defense of his title by knocking out heavyweight veteran Cedric Boswell in six rounds.

Povetkin is far more skilled than Fury -- his disadvantage would lie in his short arms. Fury would have a tremendous reach advantage.

Atlas is advising Povetkin to duck old Rahman?
The WBA needs to enforce their mandatories, too much ducking going on, like Sturm ducking Golovkin.
As a Tyson Fury fan, I'd like to see him with another year's experience (three or four more fights) before going for a title shot, even if it is a paper belt.

I like Atlas' thought process here.
To get your fighter ready for the Klitschkos first you take on their retarded half brother Tyson Fury.

Povetkin would destroy Fury.

Luke Gallows
Real Name
Drew Hankinson
Date of Birth
December 22, 1983
Place of Birth
In what became a running joke, the New Day stable, which consists of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston, kept being delayed by WWE. The trio worked live events together, but they were not utilized on television. Reports have surfaced that the reason why management held off on their push was because of the situation taking place in Ferguson, where a white cop killed a black teenager. The company did not want anything that can be construed as racial on their programming, so the group had to wait.
November 22, 2014
When WWE decided to kill his push, Bo Dallas was understandably concerned about his spot on the roster. He is in even more jeopardy now, as reports have surfaced that Dallas has suffered an injury to his foot. He is said to need about two months off the road to recover. During that time frame, management might push someone else or even bring up a developmental wrestler in his place.
November 3, 2014
While it appears that WWE is setting up Luke Harper for a singles push, a lot of people have been wondering about what the future holds for Erick Rowan. He has not been seen in the recent videos with Harper and Bray Wyatt. There have been no words about him receiving a push as a singles performer as well. Many feel that Rowan will be lost in the shuffle as a solo performer.
October 10, 2014
Management dedicates a lot of their creativity to events such as Royal Rumble 2015. With Randy Orton being penciled in for a baby face turn and a push, there are discussions going on backstage about having him do that at during the big battle royal. A potential story would have the former world heavyweight champion rebelling against the Authority and their wish to have Seth Rollins winning the match.
October 9, 2014
Every year, WWE utilizes a segment in the big battle royal to put over performers by having them dominate the competition. Luke Harper is currently penciled in as a recipient of that push at Royal Rumble 2015. The plan right now is to get fans to start embracing him as a singles performer before giving him the big credibility boost at the Rumble.
October 9, 2014
If you're a big fan of Roman Reigns and want to see WWE continue to push him, then there's some really good news from the merchandise department. His products are the second best selling ones at live events across the country. Management uses that as a big gauge for who they continue to push. John Cena remains the leading seller by a landslide, however.
October 9, 2014
In a move that might be taking place much too soon, WWE has decided to split up the Wyatt Family. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan will all be going their separate ways. Wyatt is rumored to be doing a baby face turn soon since management ran out of top level opponents for him. Harper is expected to receive a nice push as a singles performer, while nothing much has been said about plans for Rowan.
October 1, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, WWE aired a video, featuring Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt. Reports have surfaced that the move was done because management wanted to give Harper a singles push. There are also talks that the company is considering a complete split for the Wyatt Family. No word yet on what they plan on doing with Wyatt and Erick Rowan.
September 30, 2014
It appears that WWE might be done with the feud between Miz and Dolph Ziggler, two performers who were largely neglected by the creative department for a good period of time. Management wants to move Ziggler onto another challenge, and the name being tossed around the most is Antonio Cesaro. WWE is still high on Cesaro, even though he has not received a consistent push as of late.
September 23, 2014
On Night of Champions 2014, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship. Rumors are floating around that management felt that the twins had grown stale because they ran out of teams to defend the titles again. Plus, Rhodes has really been getting into his Stardust character, so the front office wants to see if the gimmick can pick up further steam with a championship push.
September 22, 2014
A good person to be friends with in WWE is the top star in the company. Antonio Cesaro has started to really bond with John Cena backstage, and the two of them have reported been hanging out before shows. Some feel that this could help Cesaro finally get that push that he deserves. It should be noted, however, that a friendship with Cena was not enough to get Big E Langston a big push.
September 8, 2014
There are speculations right now that Rosa Mendes could be on the receiving end of a push from WWE. She recently stated in an interview that she has never won a singles match via pin fall on television before. The belief is that she is planting the seeds for an underdog story line. Rosa chasing the championship could be a focal point on Total Divas.
August 23, 2014
There is a little bit of a dilemma backstage in WWE right now when it comes to the Roman Reigns push. Management does not want to put the title on him just yet because they feel that it would be more effective to let him do it at Wrestlemania 31. However, he has gone pretty high up the card already, as Randy Orton is near the top of the ladder. Management will have to figure out what to do with him over the next several months.
August 22, 2014
While management has seemingly given up on the Bo Dallas push, they do not appear to be in a rush to give him a release just yet. The belief is that WWE will keep him around for the time being and utilize him as a roster filler. Dallas is considered a good employee who shows up to work and does not cause trouble backstage. Another push seems to be out of the question, though.
August 18, 2014
Since he still has some backstage stroke, Batista is said to be using his political powers in an attempt to get WWE to push Titus ONeil, whom he calls a very close friend of his. The former world heavyweight champion has even publicly stated that he would be more than willing to be the person to elevate ONeil should the company decide to go that route.
August 15, 2014
Rumors have surfaced that Vince McMahon and company have given up on Bo Dallas. They do not view him as someone that will be a major asset to WWE. With his push being derailed on television, these rumors appear to lean closer to fact than fiction. Dallas had his push taken away almost immediately the last time he was on the main roster, so there are those that believe that this might be his final chance.
August 15, 2014
A little buzz was created this week when Dolph Ziggler defeated Randy Orton in the main event of a WWE live event. A lot of fans believed that this would be the start of a push for the former world heavyweight champion. However, that does not appear to be the case. Ziggler was simply substituting for Roman Reigns, who was on another tour. WWE usually lets the baby face win the final match of the night to send the live audience home happy.
August 11, 2014
Now that he has been given his release from WWE, Evan Bourne is opening up about allegations about his drug use backstage. The high flyer admitted that he did smoke marijuana. he also revealed that he failed the drug test because of synthetic marijuana. Bourne stated that he has apologized to Kofi Kingston, who he was teaming with at the time, for ruining their push.
August 10, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, fans witnessed Mark Henry making his return and attacking Damien Sandow. The belief is that he will be given a slight push from WWE, so that he can be utilized in an upcoming feud with Alexander Rusev, who desperately needs people to work against after he is done with Jack Swagger. Beating a performer as big as Henry should help further establish Rusev as a top level heel.
August 5, 2014
WWE has announced that Dolph Ziggler will be challenging the Miz at Summerslam 2014 for the Intercontinental Championship. While his popularity remains pretty strong, this is not a push for Ziggler. Management simply needed a mid card baby face to put over Miz. A title change is not expected to take place, as the company wants to see how far this Hollywood character can go.
August 5, 2014
As many of you already know by now, Jeff Jarrett shocked the wrestling world when he showed up in New Japan and joined the Bullet Club. Well, rumors are now circulating that the Bullet Club could be joining Jarrett. When Global Force Wrestling starts doing shows, the belief is that AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and others will make appearances. Some of them could even be signed to the roster.
August 15, 2014
As some of you already know, former WWE and TNA star Luke Gallows recently got married. CM Punk, AJ Lee, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Mike Knox, Bully Ray, Angelina Love, Samoa Joe, Mickie James, Matt Hardy, Reby Sky, Velvet Sky and Colt Cabana were among those in attendance at the wedding.
May 20, 2014
A picture of Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Angelina Love, WWE developmental wrestler Conor OBrian and Mike Knox attending the wedding of Amber O'Neal and Luke Gallows.

"I still do Hangar 18 but I always liked Lex Luger as a kid and it had been a long time since we'd seen a finisher like that. It was something that I thought I could use, given my size. It also looks impressive so I decided to add it to my arsenal. I once had to pick up Luke Gallows, he's a big guy and sometimes you think 'that's bad on the back' because your compressing your spine. As for Hanger 18, I always give props to Brock Lesnar because that's his move and I use the F5 with the utmost respect but that move is rough on your back too." - Gunner talks about his finishing move
May 6, 2014
In one of the biggest international stories of the year, AJ Styles has captured the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He defeated Kazuchika Okada when Yujiro Takahashi turned on Okada and helped Styles. Takahashi is now a member of the Bullet Club. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows played provided interference to help Styles become the top guy in New Japan.
May 3, 2014
Some interesting developments are taking place over in the Far East. Prince Devitt is rumored to be leaving New Japan, where he is a member of the popular Bullet Club stable with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. Devitt was heavily recruited by both WWE and TNA over the last couple of months, and rumors are now floating around that he will sign a contract with one of those companies.
May 2, 2014
Since they're now one of the most popular acts in all of Japan, the Bullet Club has been booked for a couple of shows with Ring of Honor. In May, ROH will be featuring AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows at their live events in Toronto and New York City. The trio are just doing guest stints, as they still intend to fully return overseas to finish out their contracts.
April 29, 2014
A picture of AJ Styles with his new stable, the Bullet Club. The group consists of several guys, including the Young Bucks, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Styles is currently working for New Japan, where he is rumored to have signed a one year contract.
April 8, 2014
Looks like the marriage bug has bit Luke Gallows. The former WWE star revealed that he is now engaged to his girlfriend, independent wrestler Amber O'Neal. The two have been together for a bit of time, even though Gallows has been working for New Japan quite a bit. Their wedding is expected to be some time in May.
March 27, 2014
While a lot of fans were hoping that he would sign with a promotion in the United States so that they can watch him on television again, it appears that AJ Styles will be signing overseas instead. Word has it that he is close to finalizing a contract with New Japan and should be heading to that country to work a few tours. He may be paired up with Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and Prince Devitt.
March 6, 2014
While he is currently making a name for himself in Japan, Luke Gallows is still keeping himself busy when he makes visits back to the United States. The former WWE star is booked for independent wrestling shows in Ohio and Pennsylvania this upcoming weekend.
February 20, 2014
While WWE fans are waiting to see if he will sign a developmental contract with the company, Prince Devitt is busy recruiting the world's most famous defector at the moment, CM Punk, to Japan to join his Bullet Club, a stable that also consists of Punk's good friend, Luke Gallows. This special picture was posted on Twitter.
February 14, 2014
Now that Wes Brisco has signed his contract with New Japan, there are talks that Garett Bischoff could be doing the same thing. The two of them could be brought in together, as the promoters can sell that they're both second generation wrestlers and were both with TNA together. They are also both connected with Luke Gallows, who has become quite popular there.
February 13, 2014
Since leaving WWE, David Hart Smith has found a new lease on life by becoming a rising star for New Japan. He is being booked frequently, where he and Lance Hoyt have been involved in the IWGP tag team championship program with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. He also posted this picture on Twitter about how great of a shape he is in now.
February 9, 2014
There are speculations going around right now that TNA could be bringing in the Bullet Club, a popular stable in New Japan consisting of Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Prince Devitt and a couple of other guys, into the company sometimes in 2014. They're gaining steam right now in the industry, and they do have a connection with MVP.
February 8, 2014
New Japan is doing a show in Hiroshima this weekend, and one of the top matches features performers that WWE fans will recognize. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows will be defending the IWGP tag team championship against David Hart Smith and Lance Hoyt. The main event is a heavyweight title fight between Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura.
February 8, 2014
It looks like Wes Brisco will be getting his wish, as the former TNA star has been signed to a deal with New Japan. He revealed on Twitter that he will be heading to Tokyo in two months, which means that he will be spending the next several weeks getting into the best shape of his life. It is believed that Luke Gallows played a big part in helping him secure the contract.
February 7, 2014
In a rather interesting move, since he is weighing a developmental contract offer from WWE right now, Prince Devitt took to Twitter to recruit CM Punk to come to Japan to join the Bullet Club, a stable that also consists of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
February 7, 2014
Since being released by TNA, Wes Brisco has worked a couple of shows on the independent wrestling circuit, and it appears that he is hoping to expand his horizon by working overseas. He already has a connection to New Japan through Luke Gallows, his former Aces and Eights teammate.
February 3, 2014
With all the controversy surrounding CM Punk and his departure from WWE, a rather interesting and possibly edited picture has surfaced online of the former world champion hanging out backstage with Karl Anderson, Prince Devitt, Luke Gallows and the Bullet Club, a stable making waves in Japan right now.

November 26, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - It's official: This winter was the worst for fliers in the 20 years that the government has been collecting data.
During the first three months of this year, U.S. airlines canceled 4.6 percent of their flights, the Department of Transportation announced Tuesday.
Airlines are quicker to cancel flights these days, sometimes a day in advance of a storm. The shift in strategy came in response to new government regulations, improvements to overall operations and because canceling quickly reduces expenses.
In May 2010, a new DOT rule took effect prohibiting airlines from keeping passengers on the tarmac for three hours or more. So, airlines now choose to cancel blocks of flights to avoid potential fines of up to $27,500 per passenger, or $4.1 million for a typical plane holding 150 fliers.

Q: Iwrks wants to know the name of Lisa's rosette dresses is?
A: The designer of Lisa's dresses with rosettes is Christina Makowsky. Lisa visited her showroom in episode 106 when the ladies traveled to New York.
Q: Carol Erwin and Melvilyn believe we altered episodes after their first airing.
A: Sorry, viewers. We don't alter episodes for reruns, because it's too cost prohibitive. As for your specific examples, as I've stated many times before, we did not shoot the original argument between Camille and Kyle in Vegas. What you are probably remembering is Camille telling Lisa about her argument with Kyle while shopping, while at the same time, Kyle was telling her daughter, Farrah, also while shopping. We also were not shooting when Taylor told Camille the other ladies had discussed her being "insecure." You are most likely thinking of the Taylor and Kim conversation in the airport.
Q: Bessi wants to know what I think of Allison DuBois (Camille's' friend and medium, who appeared in 109), who is claiming she looked bad on our show all because of editing.
A: That's what every person who's ever appeared on a reality show and didn't like how they came off says. I've already referred to that episode as an instant classic, and I believe it is. I do agree with Allison that Faye helped kick the fight up to another level by accusing Allison of not telling the truth. But that's included in the episode.
That's all I've got time for now. See you next week!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Nice sceneryIn full: After running the Bourne Woodland half back in May organised by the same guys which left me very disappointed I was not looking forward to this event at all.I will give them their dues though that this was a much better experience. Received what was promised, namely a t-shirt and medal and the run itself was nice and scenic with the castle and lake.Not much support around the grounds but thats to be expected and the main support was at the finish line which was much appreciated.There was probably just enough water stops although weather was quote hot at times. Banana and cereal bars at the end were definately needed.This could definately be a much larger event and hopefully Fat Feet will be able to attract some sponsorship in future to perhaps reduce the admission price which seemed a bit steep.In summary a lovely well organised Sunday run in a lovely setting.Date of review: August 15, 2011
In short: Scenic race by the riverIn full: As with all Purple Patch events very well organised and marshalled. It was a very hot day but the race along the tow paths was very scenic. The first few miles are a bit slow going with a combination of bunched up runners and all the gates but having 2 waves certainly helps and the course soon thins out. The only problems I could see were large queues for the baggage area and toilets at the start. Apart from improvements in this area the rest can be left alone. Great race and will definately be returning next year to do the course in reverse.Date of review: July 25, 2011
In short: Best Value Half so farIn full: Really steep hill at the start but after that pretty easy going. Great atmosphere at the start/finish even with the poor weather. Most generous goody bag I've had for a UK race and best value ever. Would definately recommend.Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Very Very Hot In full: This was my 1st marathon but very pleased I chose Edinburgh. The day was really hot with one of the water stations running out of water but the terrific atmosphere pulled you through. Great finish at Musselburgh racecourse. Date of review: June 6, 2011
In short: DisappointingIn full: This was my first Fat Feet event and must say I was left really disappointed. It started well enough with the free car parking but then the queue for the toilets. Why only 4 portaloos and a lack of toilet paper? I know the lack of portaloos was raised as a problem with last years race but it appears this was not addressed. The race itself through Bourne Wood was very pleasant and generally well marshalled although there was at least one marshall free point where I could see no yellow sign and could easily have gone straight on instead of a sharp left. For me though the thing that was really gutting was on finishing and finding no t-shirt and a poor medal in the goody bag. I did ask and was told by one of the girls that she thought they weren't bothering with t-shirts, only medals this year. It was advertised with a t-shirt and you had to give your size on entering so will raise this with the organisers. The medal made no mention of the race or the year, just that you'd completed a Fat Feet run (the lanyard did mention the race but not the year). So as I'm supposed to be down for Grimsthorpe in August does that mean I'll be getting the same medal? Maybe it works out cheaper for Fat Feet to give the same medal for all their events but it just smacks of penny pinching to me. I'd certainly be annoyed getting that if I ever run Rutland marathonSlow to get the results as now 2 days after the event and no details on the Fat Feet website.Date of review: May 31, 2011
In short: Worth getting up early forIn full: I ran the half and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very scenic with one big hill at mile 8 but other than that pretty flat. Plenty of water stops and sponges. Only a couple of things to improve on. With the amount of runners I would like to see pens used at the start as it was quite frustrating trying to get past slow runners at the front of the queue. Also would like to see different medals for the half and full marathons as then I might come back for the full. Date of review: May 9, 2011
In short: Lovely run along the riverIn full: Nice small event so not too crowded. Very friendly and encouraging marshalls and good public support when you needed it most. Not too many narrow passing places so quicker than expected although a bit annoyed at myself for not finishing a bit faster so as to break 1:41 :-( Nice medal and t-shirt and would certainly consider running it again. Only negative points for me was the parking and shortage of toilets. There were about 8 or 10 portaloos but really could do with double that especially as the blokes toilets in the main building were out of order as they were being refurbished. Parking was provided in a farmers field just off the A404 roundabout but this caused severe traffic congestion on the roundabout itself. The path from the carpark to the start is very narrow with runners/spectators getting in the way of cars trying to park up so there is definately room for improvement there. Also saw one 4x4 trying to enter the car park when people were trying to leave after the race, perhaps the car park road could be closed to incoming traffic once the race has started.Date of review: March 21, 2011
In short: Quicker than you thinkIn full: Day started off really chilly but the free parking at the train station was handy as it meant only a short walk to the start. A very friendly marshall welcomed you at the entrance which is always encouraging. As far as the race was concerned there were a couple of nasty hills which I'd been forewarned about but in general the course was not as hilly as I expected. Particulary enjoyed the park section. Organisers should perhaps look at the traffic issue as I was concerned on more than 1 occasion about the safety of fellow runners during the race. Fantastic downhill finish although I think the last 2 miles being all downhill was a slight exaggeration. The only thing I was very disappointed with was the medal as there was no date or mention of the event on it so organisers sort this out for next year please ;-)Date of review: March 7, 2011
In short: Lovely morning run but nasty hillIn full: Venue was easy to find and plenty of free parking available. Organisation seemed very good although the start was a bit weird as the runners were moved back at the last minute so not sure if this was a mistake or last minute change of route.It was nice to run on a Saturday and the first 6 miles along canal paths was pretty flat and quick. Some of it was a little slow going at first as it was almost single file at some points but relatively small field size helped.A nasty hill at mile 6 which I was trying to pace myself for seemed to take a few runners by suprise and I didn't have too many people overtake me after that point. The lovely woodland section afterwards was a little tricky with leaves hiding the occasional tree root but it was different to the usual road race and enjoyed the challenge.My only concern was my garmin showed under 13 miles at the end so not sure if the issues at the start perhaps reduced the overall race length. Medal was nice and would certainly recommend giving this a go next year.Date of review: November 22, 2010
In short: Lovely run in the countryIn full: Ok I'll get my excuses in straight away and say that I hadn't run for about 10 days prior due to coming down with some bug. I didn't want to cancel so decided to use it just as a training run as I have a half marathon in 3 weeks time. I can't say too much about the pre-race organisation as I was running late and only got to the start about 60 seconds before it was due to kick off ;-)The run itself was very pleasant though and the weather was nice and sunny. I did struggle with the hill at 4.5 miles but I think was just down to rustyness more than anything. There didn't seem to be a great deal of support on the course but as this was my first road race I don't know if this is the norm. The stewards though were all very cheerful and there were plenty of water stops. I was a bit suprised that some runners were using earphones. One lady in front of me almost got hit by a campervan as she couldn't hear it so didn't seem like a good idea to me. The last couple of miles was a struggle with the head wind and although I was using it as a training run I was disappointed that I couldn't be a bit more competitive when a few people overtook me.Very impressed with the medal especially as the race was only a tenner to enter. I didn't hang around afterwards for the festivities but the bbq looked great and the ice cream van seemed very popular ;-)All in all a great event and I'll hopefully be back next year to beat my time!Date of review: September 13, 2010

Dawn and Bill Davidson co-chair large Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Diego
By Kathy Day
A year's worth of planning comes together this week for Dawn and Bill Davidson, whose design and homebuilding companies share offices in Del Mar. More than 10,000 building industry representatives land in town for the annual Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC). The couple is co-chairing the event, which is being held June 5-6.
Being held at the San Diego Convention for the first time this year, the two-date event formally kicks off even earlier, on Tuesday morning with several forums. But for early arrivals, there's also a train trip up the coast Monday to San Juan Capistrano on the horizon. Since its inception in 1959 as a small educational conference, PCBC had been based in San Francisco, but the sponsoring California Building Industry Association (BIA) board decided last year to start alternating locations — meaning it will return to San Diego in the future.
Bill Davidson, who started Davidson Communities in 1978, and his wife Dawn, who opened Design Line Interiors in 1985, know the conference well. The Davidsons have been honored many times by their peers. Bill was named the local BIA's Industry Professional of the Year and is a member of Builder Magazine's Hall of Fame; his homes have won many a Gold Nugget. Dawn was saluted as the local Building Professional and Design Professional of the Year and is a member of the California Homebuilding Foundation's Hall of Fame.
Bill attended his first PCBC in 1973 and has been to every one since.
"As a builder, it's the only place to go to see the future and, boy, has the industry changed," Bill said. While they used to go to see the latest in home designs and products, today it is a place to meet bankers and investors, who initially didn't attend – and stayed away during the recession.
Dawn first attended the event in the mid-1980s after starting her firm.
"I wanted to see the products and get clients," she said. "It's great for networking and lots of fun … It really strengthens relationships and gives you an opportunity to learn a lot."
It's an opportunity to connect with clients from all over the 14 Western states, Canada and Mexico, who are all there "relaxed and wanting to learn," she added.
The Davidsons, who were asked by the late Horace Hogan and Steve Doyle – like them, veteran members and leaders of the San Diego Building Industry Association (BIA) — to chair the event, are excited about the prospects for this year's program. It is appropriately titled "Start Something New."
Over the years, through good times and bad, it expanded to include architects, developers, lenders and investors, marketing, design and construction specialists, as well as product mangers. It features an exhibit floor with the latest building materials and technologies, as well workshops on topics ranging from architecture and design to financial strategies and digital technologies.
One of the highlights is the annual Gold Nugget Awards ceremony, honoring those who have created the best in design, planning and development. Bill said he and his team frequently go out and visit the winning projects after the awards to find out about innovative approaches.

Henderson inactive, no surprises for Vikings
Linebacker Erin Henderson is inactive, as expected, increasing the role for three linebackers below…
|Henderson ruled out, Ponder probable
Christian Ponder (Adam Bettcher/Getty)
Despite being added to the injury report on Thursday, Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder was back taking part in Friday's practice as full participant and listed as probable to start Sunday in Detroit. The news wasn't as encouraging on linebacker Erin Henderson. Plus, plenty of other notes from Friday at Winter Park.
Christian Ponder was a full participant in Friday's practice after being added to Thursday's injury report with a neck issue.
Ponder had participated fully in Wednesday's practice and hasn't missed an offensive snap for the Vikings this season. Ponder will start Sunday and is officially listed as probable on the injury report.
"He mentioned it on Wednesday it was sorer than normal so he went it got it checked out and ended up practicing and he's been good ever since," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said.
Linebacker Erin Henderson missed a third straight day of practice Friday after suffering a concussion Sept. 16 against the Indianapolis Colts and the Vikings rules him out for Sunday's game. Marvin Mitchell will take his snaps again in the base defense with Jasper Brinkley staying on the field in nickel situations alongside Chad Greenway.
"(Brinkley) did a nice job. Jasper is coming along just like we thought he would and just like the coaches thought he would," defensive coordinator Alan Williams said. "Each week I think he's getting more comfortable in his own skin in terms of running the defense, in terms of calling the plays in the huddle and he's moving consistently better each week. That's what we want, consistent progress. That's what we're seeing from him week-to-week."
Frazier said Thursday he was still holding out hope that Henderson would pass his concussion test and be available, but that didn't happen, relegating him to a practice observer.
"He's pretty far into it (the post-concussion testing). He just today still wasn't able to pass the test that they gave him so we'll have to wait a little bit longer," Frazier said. "… He's had two other concussions so you just hope that things will be a little better next week and we'll see. We'll see where he's at next week.
Safety Mistral Raymond (ankle) is still about a month away from playing after his ankle injury suffered Sunday. He walked through the locker room Friday with an air cast on his lower leg. Andrew Sendejo returned to practice Friday on a limited basis after sitting out Thursday with his ankle injury. He is listed as questionable, along with defensive end D'Aundre Reed, who was a full participant Friday.
With Jerome Simpson set to play his first game as a Viking after serving a three-game suspension, the Vikings offense will have the receiving weapons coaches and players envisioned during the offseason.
"Let's party. It's another weapon," Harvin said earlier in the week. "We'll welcome him back. It's something for us to keep going, and for us to keep going we need all our weapons."
Frazier said there will be no "pitch count" for Simpson on Sunday.
"We're going to let him play. We have some things in there for him and see how he does, just keep talking to him throughout the game and see how he is coming along from a fatigue standpoint," Frazier said.
Harvin leads the NFL in receptions, but he doesn't have any touchdowns. Tight end Kyle Rudolph leads the Vikings with three touchdown receptions, including two Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
"He's a big target. I preach to them all the time I want to see him in the conversation with the Aaron Hernandezes and the (Jimmy) Grahams," Harvin said. "He told me he'll be there at the end, so, like I say, he's working very hard. We're going to need him to keep producing for us."
The Vikings haven't gotten any catches out of tight end John Carlson yet. The Vikings' most expensive free-agent acquisition of the offseason, who signed a five-year, $25 million contract, has been targeted only two times in three games. The coaching staff and Ponder maintain they want to get him more involved and his 29 snaps Sunday were easily the most he's had after having 18 in each of the first two games.
The Vikings had a pass play called for Carlson on Sunday, but linebacker Patrick Willis had him covered down the right sideline, opening up the middle of the field for Ponder on his 23-yard touchdown run.
"Christian made a good decision, didn't force it when it was covered and created really where our chalk ended on the chalkboard," offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said.
"I think he's doing a good job. The chips just haven't fallen in the right spot for him to receive a ball, but they will. He's going to get plenty of touches. They just haven't happened yet."
After being solid with their kick coverage in the first two weeks of the season, the Vikings gave up kick returns of 94 and 50 yards to Kyle Williams in the San Francisco game. What happened?
"Number one, they blocked us up well and we knew going in they were very good at it. (Williams) is a very good returner. We did not do a great job with lane integrity, we had guys on the ground, we got trapped and that's stuff that we worked on those exact returns during the week," special teams coordinator Mike Priefer said. "That's one of their staples, one of their better returns and we didn't fit on it well and we didn't have great lane discipline unfortunately and it hurt our football team, but they responded well, our defense responded well."
Priefer said he isn't planning on changing personnel in reaction to Williams' returns, calling them "a nice little kick in the butt" to improve.
Harvin has returned eight kickoffs this year and brought several of them out of the end zone that were 8 or 9 yards deep. But with his speed and ability, there aren't many times that Priefer will instruct Harvin to down the ball for a touchback.
"To me, too aggressive is not a term," Priefer said. "We're going to be aggressive, we're going to get after it and we're going to bring it out when we have an opportunity to bring it out and I think the only way we keep them in is determined by situation – up by 10 (points), four minutes to go in the game, let's give the ball to the offense at the 20, try to grind it out in the four minute situation."
Henderson and Raymond were the only Vikings ruled out on Friday while Sendejo and Reed were questionable. Four players – Rudolph (thigh), DE Jared Allen (neck) and Mitchell (ankle) joined Ponder as being listed as probable on the injury report. Sendejo was only the player not ruled out who was limited on Friday.
For the Lions, DT Corey Williams (knee) was ruled out while S Louis Delmas (knee) and LB Travis Lewis (quad) are doubtful.
Four are listed as questionable: LB Justin Durant (back), RB Mikel Leshoure (groin), TE Tony Scheffler (calf) and S Amari Spievey (groin).
All the other Lions on injury report are probable: QB Matthew Stafford, WR Calvin Johnson, WR Titus Young, DE Lawrence Jackson, T Corey Hilliard and G Rob Sims.
