We read the Michael Grimm indictment so you don't have to



New York Republican Rep. Michael Grimm turned himself in Monday morning as prosecutors released a 20-count indictment that alleges he broke all kinds of rules while running a Manhattan restaurant prior to his election to Congress.

Thanks to the 30-page indictment, "Healthalicious" has become one of the day's political buzzwords. Haven't had time to give the indictment a read? No worries, here's what you need to know (and some of the buzziest bits) from it.

First, the basics.

Grimm, 44, is a Republican congressman from New York who was elected in 2010 to represent Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn. He is a former FBI agent and businessman who founded a health food restaurant. He also once threatened a reporter by declaring he would "break you in half like a boy."

So what did he do?

He started and ran a health fast food restaurant in Manhattan from 2006 until 2010. The restaurant is named "Healthalicious ," which, frankly, is egregious enough.

According to prosecutors, Grimm....

* Hired a staff of illegal immigrants.As Healthalicious' business manager, Grimm was in charge of hiring and firing, as well as of the payroll (more on that later). According to the indictment, Grimm routinely hired workers who did not have legal papers to work in the United States.The fact that Grimm is accused of hiring illegal immigrants is significant in part because the congressman is one of a handful of House Republicans who has publicly supported passing comprehensive immigration reform this year.

* Paid his staff in cash, under the table.According to the indictment, Grimm kept two separate payroll documents; he would pay half of an employee's due on the books and dole out cash for the rest. This setup, prosecutors say, allowed Grimm to under-report the amount he was spending in wages and therefore dodge hefty payroll taxes due to the state and federal government.

* Used an AOL email account to run the restaurant while he was campaigning.According to the indictment, Grimm hired two new employees -- a business manager and an accountant -- to help carry out the scheme once he had entered the 2010 Congressional race.Officials say Grimm corresponded with the business manager via email (an AOL email account!), telling him how much cash to pay employees during any given pay period. Grimm allegedly kept information about his cash payments from the accountant, which ultimately led to errors when tax returns were filed for the company.

* Lied about it all, under oath.In January 2013, Grimm was deposed in a federal lawsuit filed by two former 'Healthalicious' employees who accused him of paying them less than minimum wage. According to the indictment, Grimm attempted to hide his cash-payment scheme by lying under oath about whether he paid employees in cash, what his interactions were with the payroll management company, whether he corresponded via email about Healthalicious' business, and whether he still had access to the email address.

Also on The FixDonald Sterling is a Republican and has given money to Democrats. His politics don't matter.

Hypocrisy in MLB's pine tar rules



I received a couple of e-mails Thursday that made me look at the pine tar situation in a different light.

Two fathers of young boys who play baseball asked me, How do we explain this to our children?

Their point was, how do you listen to players and managers and coaches say its OK for pitchers to use pine tar as long as they conceal it, but its not OK if its used openly, as Yankees righthander Michael Pineda did Wednesday night for the specific purpose of improving his grip on the ball?

Continue reading below

Pineda may have been bold, brazen, ridiculed, and suspended 10 games by Major League Baseball for his actions, but he basically said, Im using it for my grip and here it is.

Its up to parents to make sure their kid is doing the right thing, and thats about the only answer I could give those two fathers. Just because major leaguers may have a look the other way approach doesnt mean children playing baseball have to follow suit.

Theres a hypocrisy that we just cant seem to reconcile as long as the current rule applies.

After three decades of covering baseball, Im certainly aware of the unwritten rules of baseball, and pine tar is certainly one of them.

Hitters and hurlers both feel theres a need for pine tar use by pitchers so the pitcher can get a better grip, and so batters dont get hit by stray pitches in cold weather.

Continue reading below

So if thats the case, why is it so bad that Pineda used pine tar while being open about it?

Pine tar use by pitchers has been around forever.

A swab on the beak of the cap.

A glob on the belt buckle.

A little inside the glove.

Pitchers dont even have to have it on their body. An infielder can keep some in his glove and then come on over and provide it if needed. A catcher can run out to the mound and do the same.

In the wink-wink world of baseball, its OK for pitchers to use pine tar when its a bit cold or windy, most likely in April or September/October, when pitchers usually feel like the ball is slipping out of their hand.

So instead of, Its OK to use it if its discreet but not if its blatantly visible, why isnt the rule amended once and for all?

Hitters like pine tar for two reasons they can grip the bat better (even smothering it on their batting gloves) and pitchers can use it to avoid hitting people with an errant fastball.

Red Sox manager John Farrell protested Wednesday night because Pineda didnt hide the pine tar he applied to his neck. I think Pineda was right not to hide it. We saw how much he had and we saw him reach for it.

I truly believe, like most young power pitchers, Pineda has no idea how to actually doctor the ball to improve movement.

I believe Kenny Rogers, at age 41 and pitching for the Detroit Tigers in the 2006 World Series against St. Louis in Game 2, knew exactly how to create movement by using pine tar.

That was not the case in either of Pinedas pine tar incidents against the Red Sox this season, the second of which resulted in the suspension.

Why dont we measure pitchers pine tar use the same way we do with hitters?

On NESN, Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley and pregame host Tom Caron agreed that pine tar applied to a rag, similar to a rosin bag, would be a good way to allow pitchers to improve their grip. Eckersley said he sometimes used pine tar to improve his grip, but not very often.

Pitchers use of a pine tar rag could be monitored by umpires and allowed only in cold weather conditions. Its a potential solution to an issue that MLB would like to be rid of.

If you can see it, if the umpires can see it, if the players and managers can see it, it shouldnt be a problem. It would remain a problem if the pine tar is hidden by the pitcher, or if he is using more than an acceptable amount.

For those of you who feel pitchers using pine tar should be illegal, period, you have to consider the times.

Most teams have several pitchers who throw 95-100 m.p.h. something that was uncommon years ago and some of them have trouble with control. You dont want an epidemic of pitchers losing control in the cold weather.

Did Pineda cheat? Under the current rules, yes. After Pineda was ejected, MLB disciplinarian Joe Torre had to suspend him.

Pinedas real mistake was he didnt listen to his coaches and manager about not being so blatant about it.

But for me, being upfront is better than hiding or concealing the action.

I suspect the pitcher pine tar situation will continue on as one of those unwritten rules of baseball that doesnt make you feel right.

Theres a committee for everything, so there should be one for this, too. Find a way to end the hypocrisy of this rule and allow pitchers to use pine tar legally for gripping purposes.

Whirlpool 30-48KITRC Gas Range Connector Kit Shopper Reviews



Whirlpool 30-48KITRC Gas Range Connector Kit Shopper ReviewsThe kit I received worked great. It's good they built-in the 3/4" adapter (as well as two 1/2" ones), since I looked-for that to connect the give side. The hose I received was steel with a golden-haired defending glaze. Your hose will look golden-haired as a replacement for of hard like the depiction.The built-in thread sealant worked just fine - note you only use it in two seats, not the world over there's a thread. The leak detector liquid was kind of hard to get in the right place once it was installed.Installation will take two wrenches that soubriquet at least 1-1/8" or so, can't remember just so. I actually had to crank these suckers on to get a leak free seal on my give side - no limp-arming it.
- Sea23

I bought this thinking it was going to be a METAL bendable connector for my gas range, even if it is a YELLOW PLASTIC one. It looks not anything like the depiction. If I had known this, I would have just bought the generic translation at my local home renovate store. It comes with all else, but the depiction must actually reflect EXACTLY what it is you're export.

IMCG Silver Gas Range Protectors Set of 4 Latest Reviews



IMCG Silver Gas Range Protectors Set of 4 Latest ReviewsI was disappointed with these range protectors. They look actually nice and I was able to cut them to fit my burners, even if, when I twisted the burner on they smelled and looked like they were burning. Even if they did not catch on fire, they definately did react to the flame from the burner. I indifferent them and was not able to use them.
- B. Reese "B Reese"

Very flimsy and a lot of additional work cold them to size.I would have been better off buying aluminum foil range covers for 99 cents at my local dollar store...at least those are pre-cut and value their price!
- Marlene

In the picture the burner covers seem to be more sturdier, but it is just a flimsy material that you have to taylor to custom fit to the burner section and does not look very appealing. It does not stick or adhere to the stove. As soon as I opened the packaging I was disappointed! If anyone wants it u can have it. Email xtinamichael@yahoo.com Subject-Attn: i want ur stove top covers!
- avid amazon shopper

I purchased these in good belief and feel I totally wasted my money. First, they were supposed to be silver and they were an ugly auburn affect. The first time I used them they BURNED around the crucial point section where the flame is, they now are scorched and look much worse than my first drip pans do. They are very flimsy and definite NOT value $15.00.
- Checkers

Does not protect as it's supposed to. Even more work to clean, since you have to clean the sheets and the oven...
- Carla V. Debarros "anna"

I was bowled over at how thin they were when they arrived - they appeared poor and proved to be just that.If any bead of oil spatters on them when they are heated it will cook owing to the clarification and initiation permanent ugly blotches. They slip out of place basically if the burner is bumped and get too accurate to the flame and scorch. A whole waste of money.
- teachertrudy

This is a splendid manufactured goods - it makes it so greatly easier to sterile lone's oven. My release caveat is including the intention of it will burn/scorch if you be inflicted including a chatter burner including the intention of doesn't fit alight evenly. This is NOT shifty, keep pro value mentioning. I do fancy the Peddler could maybe contain approximately important patterns as you be inflicted including to "rub to all fit" the teflon and what I refined up including looked sweet difficult. (If you don't admit what you're dependability, do it neatly...)
- Linda Hood "The Big Poodle's Mom"

I have a gas oven with black ceramic flat go up. It held to be easy to sterile, but in actuality it is very far from it. I used uncommon types of protectors with modest accomplishment, and these liners is the best so far in stipulations of the safeguard and cleaning the oven with them.I didn't find a conundrum decent them to the burners, and they actually care for the go up very well (if it's flat).Even if, I affect with additional assess that it would not work with the non-flat go up stoves, in view of the fact that they work if they can stick to the go up.Of way, here are cons:At the initiation of all, they are not that easy to sterile, and this is only in view of the fact that they are thin and bendable (which is a plus for them as protectors). To sterile them by the book, one wants to put them on some flat hard go up, keep them with one hand in house, and wash with soap or shrubbery with wet cleaning wipes. Not an easy task, even if their go up itself is moderately easy to sterile (as long as you fix it as I described) as any additional non-stick go up. Dishwasher doesn't actually work for their cleaning.The following flaw is in fact the fee. The liners are not everlasting, far from it. They get everlastingly soil with time, get creases, etc. I estimate their time would be as a time of in this area 2-3 changes of fixed aluminum burner bibs, which is not long. And this makes them a bit too high-priced.So, I would urge this manufactured goods to the owners of the flat-go up stoves with some reservations in this area its fee.
- Irina Lvovskaya

I have a stainless steel gas array top, and this seemed be fond of a kind key to the daily chore of cleaning almost the burners. My stove is vaguely lower-level, with bent interior corners, and is flat and commence across the midpoint. The manufactured goods is greatly as described, but not a skilled fit to my stove, and so it may not be a skilled fit to additional than absolutely flat surfaced stoves. The openings for the burners are very small, most likely to ensure a fit for the smallest burners, however cutting them to fit is not as unadorned as disguised by the unadorned instructions, and being paid a skilled fit is alert process of examination and blunder even with skilled measurements. Some calculate ago you get the openings cut, the next challenge is affect of the go up. My stove has a lower-level go up and bent corners, which the liners did not adapt well to. I ended up slitting the corners about � creep headed for the center, and then vaguely rounding the left over tips to allow overlap and still effectively cover the go up. It is single only a exact fit, but is workable, and the appearance is acceptable (not a complete eye-sore).Pros: Clarification is as described, painstakingly matching our stainless steel stovetop, and is moderately non-stick.Cons: Trying to get a kind fit almost burners and cover the stovetop go up except your stovetop is flat, corners are check, and burners are all very small and of equal size.In my opinion, the installation method and resulting appearance were what you would estimate from low-deprivation disposable liners. I gave this manufactured goods 3 stars as a result of the feature of the clarification, but was leaning headed for 2 stars based on the installation method and fee.
- M. Bell "Thinker"

The material was to thin and the size was to large. It didnt work for my range, but since I opened the package I couldnt return them. I would not urge this product to anyone. Don't waste your money on this product.

Gas Range Oven Ignitor for Viking Range replacement for PB040001 Best Reviews



Works great, easy to bed in. Beats calling the repair man! So nice to be inflicted with my oven back. I Urge IT.
- Auntie

Exact fit. No harms Splendid great fee. Instant shipping. Solely what was looked-for, with no hassles.I preview forward to using this vendor in the possibility.
- John S Garrett

I approved two of these ignitors. They were delivered promptly and were well packaged. The ignitors fit impeccably and had the assess connectors on the ends of the wires. They worked when I installed them, They worked the first time I in fact used the oven. They disastrous about 20 minuted into the following use.Do not buy these ignitors.
- Rob Dillon

When my Viking oven bunged working, I just asumed it was the thermostat not working. The burners ongoing just fine, but the oven by no means reached heat. WRONG. It was the igniters. I installed these igniters. Priced practically for an uber-Viking manufactured goods. Thet took in this area 20 synopsis to bed in, and solved all my tribulations.
- Tom elCerrito

I just saved for myself a $250 Viking service call plus the part which would have been another $100+I was a little concerned about ordering the ignitor as the part number wasn't the same as on the old one, but a quick call to Viking inveterate that the AR040001 is the substitution part for PB040001. And then I called another parts company to double check! This ignitor works with both older and newer Viking Gas Ranges.As I have an older (before 2002) 46" double oven gas range, I looked-for to cut the female end off of one of the cables as the old ignitor had female and male ends and the new one comes with both cable ends the same. Very unadorned to do and I used the terracotta nuts that were provided in the box (yes, those are there for you!).We had the lasagna in the oven in no time. In fact it took longer to loosen everything and put it all back collectively then to exchange the ignitor (30 minutes tops from start to finish).Shipping was fast (ordered the part late Monday nighttime, shipped the same day and was on my step Thursday day. In all fairness, I did upgrade to expedited shipping as the window for delivery was after Thanksgiving and that would not have worked. But I don't believe that the expedited shipping was de rigueur), well padded/confined and I will look to buy all my Viking parts from McCombs.Now off to fix the oven knob stem/temperature control that broke off...
- Mommys3girls

These were a perfect fit in each way for my Viking range. I didn't have to rebuild any connections or do any soldering, at that calculate tops were a correct contest as supplied. Tips for installation on a Viking range: Take out the oven door (no tools required), and flip not working the underside kick-plate by compelling out the two upper screws, one on all side, and rotating the kickplate forward. Take out the racks and hangars, at that calculate take out the "stump" of the oven (no tools required). This will allocate you to get at the connectors and the ignitors. The ignitors are all held on with two screws. The left side screws can be gotten to easily with a stubby phillips screwdriver, but the right side screws are more difficult to get a screwdriver on as they are accurate to the center and even a short stubby scredriver is too long to dodge impacting the sheetmetal. Instead use a 90 degree ratcheting screwdriver be fond of the Craftsman 41716 ($7) from Sears, (or similar) and it's a breeze. I had both ignitors installed start to finish in about 20 summary.
- Perini Scleroso ""Did you say lowtow?""

I bought this for a Viking array, and it was just so the constant develop number as the one I had. Except the electrical connectors didn't fit. This came with two "females", the ones I had, had a female and scoop connector.It's not horrible, but, it was a nuisance to go buy the connectors, a crimping tool, and at that calculate do it. The affect is also different from the unfilled ignitor, but it does light. I does take longer to light though, but with the intention of's not actually valuable.So, it's OK, just be prepared for the likelihood of having to change the connector on it, and maybe it count numerous seconds before it fires up.
- TA152H

This piece - Chatter Array Oven Ignitor pro Viking Array substitution pro PB040001 - was just so what I looked-for pro my oven. I saved for myself extremely near $300 by purchasing four ignitors and installing them for myself. It was a extremely straightforward installation - all I looked-for as a fleeting screwdriver - or a 90 tiny socket set including a Philips have control ended driver.
- KH

I have purchased the Viking OEM ignitors and this substitution manufactured goods. I bought the replacements to try to save some cash from the cost of the OEM ignitors. It didn't work out so well. Even if this substitution manufactured goods is in this area 1/2 the fee of the Viking ignitor, I will only buy the OEM ignitors in the possibility. The wits is austere: The substitution ignitors are of a much decrease feature than the Vikings. Particularly, if you look painstakingly at the ignitor nitty-stark of the OEM and this substitution (even in the Amazon photos), you will see that the substitution ignitor is a barber-pole coil theme whereas the OEM is a much sturdier "cleft" top. Of the two substitution ignitors that I bought, both of them ruined at the barber-pole coil at once: One all owing to installation and the following in consignment, even even if positioned in a beefy box and wrapped painstakingly in foam rubber. In fleeting, with the substitution, the ignitor coil is poor and fragile. With the OEM, it is neither.
- Buyer

If you have Dual oven burners ... REPLACE BOTH Ignitors at the same time. This information it true of any brand of ignitor. For protection reasons the gas valves that feed your burners will not turn on the gas to that burner except that ignitor draws the assess amperage. So I had one effective burner and one broken one (bad ignitor). I replaced the broken ignitor and it worked...but , being new, it drew more amperage and caused the old effective ignitor to no longer draw enough amperage to open its gas valve... now i need to buy a following ignitor. Conception Viking forums this is the not compulsory practice if you have dual burners.

LG LDG3015ST 6.1 cu.ft. Gas Double Oven Range, Stainless Steel Shopper ReviewsLove this stove! It is really fun to cook on. Easy to bed in. Haven't had the chance to use the ovens much, but I can't wait until the holidays!
- TS

My range came in a somewhat timely manner, not quite as quickly as approximately of the bits and pieces I've purchased at Amazon though. It came undamaged, which I was a little nervous about after I'd read approximately of the other reviews, but mine was perfect and dent emancipated. It's an attractive range and I love the smaller oven on top for broiling and smaller baking jobs. The touch controls are pretty easy to figure out. My only complaint with the Range is that it seems to take longer to excitement to cooking temps than my old Range did. It came untreated gas ready and we use propane but the jets to covert came with it, as did easy instructions to change it over. All in all a great Range though and I'd buy it again!!
- robinkreager

LG has HORRIBLE Customer Service. The ice maker on our fridge broke surrounded by six months of purchase. LG made us keep getting it "repaired" unsuccessfully so many times previous to they would planning-out replacement. They everlastingly said they would exchange it and to send them the information about all of the repairs. HOWEVER, they came back and said they couldn't exchange it as it was OUT OF WARRANTY now!!!! Seems like a scam to me. Have it "repaired" until it is out of warranty, then they don't have to worry about it. Do not ever by an LG manufactured goods!

Frigidaire FGGF3032MW Gallery 30" White Gas Sealed Burner Range - Convection Buyer Review



Frigidaire FGGF3032MW Gallery 30" White Gas Sealed Burner Range - Convection Buyer ReviewHow this made the Consumer Reports reccomendation is kind of weird. I have had very good luck buying appliances and goods based on their reviews. I bought the arcade series stove in stainless six months ago. I bought them for a house I bought to remodel. The Arcade series looked good but I would never buy the series over again. The diswasher had such terrible reviews I went a head and returned it for a Whirlpool that had high reviews and we are happy with it. The Stove and refrigerator are both near worthless and I would NEVER buy them over again.The stove has little plastic tabs on the underside of the grates that melt and also fall off way to easily. The space between the interior dinghy and peripheral dinghy has vents that allocate dust to infiltrate and you can't clean it. As the sun shines in all owing to the daylight all you see is a dinghy door that looks very dusty but you cannot get in there to clean it. TERRIBLE point! The "convection" fan sometimes never comes on as it is supposed to and additional times it comes on with a few summary with it comes to do temporary work and additional times it comes on right gone approximately calculate ago to do temporary work. Which is it supposed to be Frigidaire? The top is very tricky to clean compared to a ceramic flat top but I do be fond of the burners.The refrigerator is another influence somebody's leg. Provisions keeps freezing on the underside shelf and on the top shelf in the back left corners. I reserved adjusting the do temporary work up but the additional items be fond of milk and beverage were getting to lukewarm. I used my Thermopen(Purple one facility best..Inside influence somebody's leg for Competition BBQ teams) and the milk on the adjoin center shelf was 41.2 F even as the chicken breast on the underside shelf was 26.4 in the back and 39.1 on the adjoin breasts. Terrible air flow! Next problem is the ice maker/water point. The ice tray is crooked because they installed the track it slides into crooked. No way to fix it easily so we have to live with a icecube tray that looks be fond of it is vacant to break. The water comes out horribly slow. I am talking a minute and a half for big up a 20 oz cup with ice. The ice cubes are now getting hollow. it also stops working for hours on end. Sometimes it takes the icemaker 6-8 hours to dump one cycle. additional times it happens about each hour or so. I just heard it dump (which is LOUD!)and it dumped all owing to dinner 1.25 hours ago. Maybe will dump in a hour maybe 8, we never know. All we know is that it is 15 f further than right now and we don't use much ice in winter but we subdue run out each second or third day.The microwave only problem is the vent fan is SUPER LOUD! I am talking LOUD! You can barely have a exchange as it is on. And with the gas stove/oven if it gets to hot below the microwave it turns on it's fan by itself so there is nothing you can do to bring to a standstill it. It will go off by itself ultimately, but that is usually half way owing to dinner! I have in detail gotten into the cabinet above the stove and unplugged the microwave as we were ready to sit not working so we could talk durring dinner.We will be putting our house on the market shortly this year and I am looking forward to getting different new machine in our next house!

LAX Police makes statement insinuating that Aldon Smith may have been ...



Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

LAX Police informed CSN Bay Area that Aldon Smith may have been drinking earlier in the day. If that is true, it presents bigger issues than just an arrest.

Fooch's Update #2:Eric Branch's article says Ortiz said eyewitnesses said it appeared Aldon Smith was drinking earlier. According to this article, Ortiz did not say police thought he appeared to have been drinking.

Fooch's Update: As some have pointed out, the statement by LAX Police spokesperson Karla Ortiz is very subjective in nature. I came across this tweet from a San Francisco Chronicle writer that does not have a source other than "LAX police", so I'm not sure if it's entirely different from Ortiz's statement:

I figure it is unfair to Aldon Smith at this point to include the inference without the acknowledgement of it subjectivity. My bad on that._______

The Aldon Smith situation continues to evolve, and we're hearing some more details. CSN Bay Area spoke with an LAX Police spokesperson, Sgt. Karla Ortiz, andwe're hearing some information that might add a little more context to the situation:

"He was not what we considered to be intoxicated," LAX Police Sgt. Karla Ortiz told CSNBayArea.com, "but he appeared as if he had been drinking earlier in the day."

Sgt. Ortiz said Smith would not be administered a blood-alcohol test because, she said, "Whether he was drunk or not was not the reason for his detention, arrest or booking."

Aldon Smith was not arrested for being drunk or otherwise intoxicated, but there is some concern that he was drinking prior to this. My biggest concern when this report came out was that Smith had been drinking, and it led to him doing something stupid.

Even if he was not drunk at the time of his arrest, him drinking does not exactly bode well for his attempts to clean his life up. He checked into rehab following his DUI last fall, and it seemed likehe was looking better and making a concerted effort. Unfortunately, with matters of addiction, it is a life-long battle. Over at BayAreaSportsGuy.com, Ruthless Sports Guy hada great article last September about addiction. I highly recommend giving it a read.

We don't know what the next step is in this whole process. Smith has his legal matters to attend to, and those are very serious. But if he fell off the wagon, that's a bigger concern in my mind. He can get through the legal troubles, but if the alcohol issues continue to affect his life, he could very well face future problems.

    Rapper Big Sean Ends Engagement to Naya Rivera



    Rapper Big Sean and actress Naya Rivera are no longer engaged.

    A spokeswoman for the rapper announced Wednesday that he has canceled plans to marry the "Glee" star. Publicist Tracy Nguyen said Sean hopes the two can continue to work through their issues privately.

    Twenty-seven-year-old Rivera and 26-year-old Sean, whose real name is Sean Anderson, announced their engagement in October. Though the couple met on Twitter, neither tweeted about the breakup Wednesday.

    Messages left for Rivera's representatives were not immediately returned.

    Rivera is best known as Santana on Fox's "Glee." Sean released "Hall of Fame," his second album, last summer.

    ACM Awards: Merle Haggard Honored in Tribute From George Strait, Miranda ...



    Merle Haggard was honored with a special tribute from George Strait and Miranda Lambert at the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday. Lambert and Strait performed "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive" and "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" in a tribute medley to Haggard, the recipient of the Crystal Milestone Award and one of the architects of the Bakersfield sound. This year marks Hag's 50th year in country music.

    Garth Brooks presented the honor to the trailblazing country icon. "It's no news that Haggard has always been an outsider," Brooks said in his glowing intro. He later led a rendition of "Happy Birthday" to the legend.

    "Country music's been great to me all my life," Haggard said in brief remarks. "Thanks for making this an eventful night. Good evening."

    The singer has quite the history with the ACM, being named top new male vocalist in 1965, and the organizations first entertainer of the year in 1970. He topped the Billboard country singles chart 38 times during his career between 1966 and 1988.

    R.A. Clark, the show's executive producer and son of the late Dick Clark, recently told Billboard about his family's connection with Hag -- and it involves the silver screen.

    "There's this family history with Merle and my father going back to 1968," he said. "In 'Killers Three' where my father gave him his first acting gig in a movie. My father played a villain and killed Merle Haggard who played a sheriff. That's how long this goes back."

    In addition to the ACMs, this week saw the release of a new tribute album to Haggard on Broken Bow. "Working Man's Poet: A Tribute To Merle Haggard" is a collection of Haggard songs by artists such as Joe Nichols, Randy Houser, Luke Bryan, Toby Keith, and Dierks Bentley. Later this month, Haggard will headline MerleFest in Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

    GE JB705STSS 30 Freestanding Smoothtop Electric Range - Stainless Steel Purchaser Reviews



    This range has a ration of fine features and seems water supply built. Sorry to say, GE ships it with some sort of acrylic file on its oven fiberglass insulation with the intention of has to burn off with the first few uses. The smell early this burning is grave, and doubtless spiteful. GE recommends with the intention of you self-sterile the oven to get rid of the smell, and commence the windows. So don't approve of lone in the chill. I'm left with the feeling with the intention of GE cares modest pro the health and water supply-go of its customers - all they would be inflicted with to do is promote in and go on the element at the factory (if at all possible outside) so far they don't do this.

    I got this stove in ahead of schedule February and by May I by now be inflicted including a poker chip in the cooktop.I don't know just so as it happened but I don't feel like I've done something that should be inflicted including caused a poker chip. I guess my 20-year-old, poker chip-free, glass-top stove that it replaced wasn't so bad after all. If the GE benefit person thinks you dropped something on it rather than that it "just chipped", however that is ascertained I don't know, then the charge is in this area half the price of a new stove to repair it. In calling it's valuable to not let a benefit person be scheduled before clarifying whether the repair is covered by the warranty or not. The first person I spoke to assumed it was until I pressed the question. In the end, it wasn't.

    My 2 yr old oven-top glass horrified into a million pieces. I have been fighting with GE for very nearly two months currently and even though they recognize it is their fault and with the intention of the glass was faulty, they wont do anything to help me besides yield me $100 off of the bill. Of way if I accept the $100 off, it will still be ended $300 to fix and I will have no warranty WHEN it happens ended again. If you are considering any GE product, dont buy it. Their appliances are terrible and they wont do anything for you if a touch happens.

    Premier Pro P36S348BP 36 Commercial Style Gas Range 3.9 cu. ft. Manual Clean Oven, 6 Sealed Burner User ReviewsI have had my Head of state oven for about 3 being now. I may maybe not come across the expense of a Viking, Therm-a-dor or bolt, etc.The fit on this oven is sub ordinary, the further than of the broiler entrance looks be fond of it is flaccid on the aptly. The paint in the broiler vicinity solely peeled off, in big flakes. The tank would not commence in check over of the fact that the stump was flaccid, in check over of the fact that the metal was so watered-down. My Timer had a pin that was sticking (they sent a new one). Profit seems to have been the foremost goal, as this oven was engineered, not quality. But at this calculate is the take care of business, I weathered the net for ended six month's previous to export this oven. I compensated appx. $1380 at A.J. madisons website (free craft). I kindness the six burners, the comes off inquiry is awesome for steaks ($200 if you have to exchange it..B.S.) I adjusted all the burners as I recieved my oven, to my custom eyeglasses (The nominal burner(cook) on the gone is kind) and the enormous one on the in trade gone is kind. This oven does put out approximately BTU's. An oven-top window would have been kind at the calculate (void now). Would I buy this Oven ended again...Yes. It is the single choice in its class,affordablity, Quality(half),style. I would have voted for on the cookie sheet storage space, on the gone, for a better oven-top vicinity. But the oven-top vicinity is passable. If you have any questions solely ask, this is a generous purchase, and I reconcile in the fair Imperative.

    - A. Shaver

    This array has approximately foremost flaws:1- The stove-top exhausts into kitchen as a substitution for of into outlet covering. Stinks up the whole household and dumps tons of dampness into the household as it must be exhausted. That's really indigent top!2- Cooktop joystick are easy to casually be twisted on if you bump into the knobs while accessing overhead cabinet. Potentially shifty!3- Why did I be inflicted including to approve of a only one of its kind interval filler spruce pro the in trade of the cooktop as that interval must be old pro the stove-top exhaust and maybe a backsplash. Over again, crappy top.4- Excessive addict blast and go on calculate. Why would here be a addict running except by convection???5- Dinghy top will scrape as will the SS adjoin edgeThe pros: all facility as probable, the cooktop does heat quicker than ordinary electric nitty-stark, the dinghy top wipes off easily, keep pro shows streaks except you really polish it. You will call for a razor blade to remove burnt food early the burner areas.

    Yes, the knobs get twisted on by hips so you have to preview at the stove top often to dodge leave-compelling it on. My display bunged effective just a month including the warranty expired. The glass top is exceptionally difficult to clean, even right including cooking. I old other ranges before to and it was not this difficult. I can go on and on. get out of kitchen aid ranges. Fancy looking save pro rubbish.
    - iwodamiorie

    Had a new Kitchenaid installed Fri. on Mon. with making Eggs I noticed scratches on the cook top. I called Kitchenaid and they understood my pan was at fault! The stove I replaced had a dinghy cook top that never scratched in the years I had it, with the same pan. Kitchenaid understood if the benefit man came to my house and understood the pan was at fault I would be exciting. If I would have been told that the cook top was so fragile I would have bought another brand. I have had Kitchenaid products for loads of years and never had a problem, but this makes me rethink my loyalty.
    - Tom Wheat

    We purchased our stove a few weeks ago and conclude the later:Two of these reviews are on numerous sites and I believe that a name has an ax to grind and is on a prose campaign.If you try real hard you can feel air appearance from the front vents, but it is barely noticeable. Most stoves have front vents and this is not uncommon.I agree that the angle of the reins could be a modest less vertical, but that would leave them more exposed to spills. You can opt for a free permanent stove and reach over hot pots to get to the reins.You would have to be a contortionist to turn the knob and turn on a burner with your hip.The fan is not any louder than our very high-priced Dacor was. Now that was a piece of junk.We only cook food so not anything condensates so bad that it drips to the floor.The top is no harder to clean than any other smooth top range. Razor blades are a fact of life with any smooth top and food lifts off with modest try. A very small amount of cleaner goes a long way.If you want a nice looking stove that performs well, I feel this stove fits the bill.If you are looking for a stove that does not get hot, or doesn't steam when you open the oven door, or does not have a fan, or does not get dirty, go to a restaurant.
    - Amazon Customer "Flopface"

    Unless you love the go of burnt food, and want to spend a good portion of your evening scraping burnt, boiled over food off the burners, dodge KitchenAid Electric cooktops like the plague. I call ours the 'electronic abortion'. As the before reviewer said, bump the control knobs and the burner lights up, and burns you! These stoves are pure evil, not meant for any sane self to use. The burners have some kind of thermostat that turns them hot sporadically, then shuts off just when you reflect your food might start to cook. So you turn up the heat; big mistake. Of a sudden the heat comes on and right away boils over no matter what's in the pot cooking. It's simply impossible to cook a clad meal on these equipment.The oven seems to work ok, but we've by now burned out the oven lights once, and a pair of new ones expenditure like $50.00. Holy Moly! For oven lights?We were lucky, we had a repairmen tell us not to use the self-cleaning function, which will burn out the electronics (most of his repair work was to exchange these).Even if, we've had to dismantle the full oven door to sterile the schooner. Apparently, the boiled over food from the top in some way leaked down the edge of the cooktop into the door vents right on to the schooner, and is then baked on soundly when the oven is used. Great design Whirlpool (they own Kitchen-Aids)(yes, Kitchen-Aids, that's the only good name for these bogus appliance manufacturers). May you go bankrupt, and soon.P.S. I thought the idea of cooktops was to make it easy to sterile the burners. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Apparently the idea is to make you buy special cooktop cleaner, which doesn't sterile the burned on food off value a damn, so you end up buying razor blades to scrape the crap off. Never had to to that with the old oven. And, as an engineer who has worked with computers for many being, I simply cannot believe insightful electronics would purposely be mounted frankly above a 500F heat source. That's really insane.
    - The Wretched Reviewer With Malice Aforethough...

    We just bought the full suite of Kitchenaid appliances. The range looks very nice, but ours had a gash in the oven handle, tiny dent in warming drawer, tiny scratches on ss higher than knobs and the oven door rattles like a 20 year old oven. The oven preheat time is about 20 summary for 350 degrees and a fan (not the convection fan) runs during and after the entire cooking logic.Additionally, the fridge handle had a gash and emblem on microwave is cock-eyed.All came this way from the factory as our style of language broadcast were very austere and all wrapped in factory packaging.Bring shame on on Kitchenaid for terrible feature power.UPDATE 4/7/2013: My apparatus pile fought hard with K.A. for 3 months before everlastingly influential them to exchange this oven. K.A. sought after to just exchange all of the parts everywhere, even even if it was delivered with many defects. I gave them one opportunity to repair (one of the several damaged parts) and afterward the oven rattled like a 20-year old oven. Soothe they refused to exchange and sought after to take up again replacing the other parts and claimed a further repairman could fix the rattling. I called K.A. consumer benefit several times, language to Managers, and found them all very rude and unwilling to help in any way.My apparatus pile said they had 3 other customers with defective harvest that K.A. would not exchange and threatened to stop moving their harvest, and only then did K.A influence to exchange. They told me more than once that GE would have resolved this theme in weeks and lacking any fighting or threatening. I do like my K.A. harvest but I will not buy whatever business from them in the future. I very to buy from manufacturers that stand in the rear their harvest by the book.
    - Sam

    I'd give it a zero if doable. The top has cracked twice. 600$ to renovate. The fuse burns out when you set the self clean. after researchi have cultured these are run of the mill harms. The left side of the oven is hotter than the right. the probe has never worked and still I am reliable for 96$ for a new one. Junk I am now looking for a new stove and this thing is new.

The KitchenAid fan exhaust breeze may not be as exasperating in cooler ride out, but maybe will be a major issue in radiator ride out.5. Based on acquaintances with competitor ranges, this KitchenAid cooling fan is louder, more grating, and distracting than those models. We had to boost the number of the TV in the kitchen to compensate for the fan noise.After using the oven just once, we told the dealer that we sought after to chat it for a uncommon manufacturers' range. We would not urge that this KitchenAid model be thorough.KITCHENAID RANGE CONTROL PANEL1. This KitchenAid power panel point is difficult to plan and inconvenient. The front panel is tilted at a shallow angle, close to vertical. This makes the panel more difficult to abide by and operate when cooking at the range top or using the oven. In order to adequately abide by and accurately use the power panel, you have to stand back from the range or bend down/crouch down each time.2. This KitchenAid power panel is located directly above the oven door. With the oven in use, notch the oven door, allows moist, hot air to waft out and up onto the power panel. Dampness condenses on the panel...and drips onto the floor.3. Yes, you could wipe off the power panel to power reduction every time that you open the oven door, but this increases the chance to touch a power point and casually adjust a background.4. A evenhanded self could question what look continual exposure to steam and dampness will have on the helpful life of the panel and its electrical gears.POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE - Easy to casually turn "on" the reins.The shallow angle of the KitchenAid power panel (there's that panel issue, again) positions the top cooking constituent power knobs very close to where you will be leaning when you reach up to an overhead cabinet. It is very easy (analytically easy?) to supporter the cooking constituent reins - push one in - and turn the knob into the "high" position with a affront twist of the upper body...and have a burner heating up promptly. We were in the preparation stage (not anything in the oven or on the top cooking elements) when my wife reached into an overhead cabinet for a touch - twisted abstractedly to the side to place it on the countertop - and casually twisted on a cooking constituent. It is frightening to suppose what could have happened to a cooking magazine, cook book, food box or towel placed on that cooking constituent had we left the kitchen area for even a short cycle of time.
