Bush is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who started his career with folk rock duo Billy Pilgrim in the early '90s. He and partner Andrew Hyra released a much-lauded pair of albums for Atlantic Records (their 1994 self-titled debut and 1995's Bloom), earning multiple Top 5 singles on the AAA charts, rotation on VH1, and a reputation as dynamic live performers who traveled from the tiny stage of Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia, to a worldwide tour supporting Melissa Etheridge in 1995. Bush founded Sugarland in 2002; in 2004, he and singer Jennifer Nettles exploded onto the music scene. They have surpassed sales of over 22 million albums worldwide, achieved five No. 1 singles and won numerous awards, including trophies from the Grammys, AMAs, ACM Awards, CMT Music Awards and CMA Awards. In October of 2012, they were inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Bush is out doing the solo thing right now as he and Nettles take a break from Sugarland.

GUN CONTROL - FIRST THEY TOOK THE GUNS FROM CRIMINALS, THEN CRAZY PEOPLE, THEN THEY CAME FOR YOU Not long ago, I was talking to a distinguished veteran who had served our great nation in our time of need. While at the VA (Veterans Administration) hospital, going in for a silly little thing, a simple check-up for something that was bothering him and he just wanted to make sure it wasn’t anything serious. Better safe than sorry was the thinking here. While waiting for his turn, he filled out the proper forms, but then there were some rather bizarre questions on one form, the questionnaire which asked; 1.) Do you have guns in your home? 2.) Do you feel threatened by anything? 3.) Do you have insecure feelings? 4.) Do you hate anyone? Now then, it’s obvious why they have these questions, because anti-gun factions in Washington DC want to try to wrestle guns away from veter-
ans, by way of labeling them mentally unstable. Apparently, this is an attempt malign veterans and usher in a new age of gun control.

demonize the perpetrators of such events, but is it true, and if it is; why? Could it be the psychologists, and drug prescriptions playing with their heads, along with brainwashing by media, propaganda, and academia, religion, and government all putting in their two-cents along the way? Each time we alienate an individual for the whole, for the hopeful shaping of society, we leave other behind, call them misfits, or mentally challenged, that is the real tragedy. Once we start down this road of gun control there is no way to stop it, and once Americans have no guns, the power or corrupt people in government can take it over for their own will against the very freedoms we were granted. I say, enough gun control. Please consider all this and think on it.

5 Reason Why I Won’t Buy From You As a customer on a daily basis there are countless interactions with businesses and brands that add to my perception of you and your business. Most of the time these are to a level that simply meets a demand- I want something, you have it, I buy it and leave... nothing special or unique, you just fulfilled a need. On other occasions an impression is made. This impression may blow me away, or it may completely shock me and will subconsciously add your business to my personal ‘Do Not EVER Return’ list... I am sure you all have this locked away in you somewhere. On the counter side, if you blow me away, I will be a loyal and raving fan and keep coming back, and more importantly recommend you to others, something no marketing spend can replicate.

MONEY MANAGEMENT
WAYS AN ACCOUNTANT CAN SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY It is fairly obvious that an accountant can prepare a business's annual accounts and file the appropriate tax returns but they can offer far more for a business, particularly when you are first starting out. They will be able to give advice on a variety of business issues as well as tax planning guidance. So it is important to select an accountant who has experience in dealing with the same type of business as yours. And, especially, to ensure that the accountant you use is a qualified member of one of the professional accounting associations. You can identify a fully qualified accountantby their chartered or certified status.
tages to using an smaller firm which is more likely to respond quickly to your business needs and be more flexible in their approach and charging scales. Whatever type of accountancy firm you select always request references, or, better still, get a personal recommendation, and check that the firm has professional indemnity insurance. Before you formally engage the accountant discuss what level of service you require and what your budget is. If you are at all concerned about unexpected bills (and who isn't) then look for a fixed-fee accountancy arrangement. That way you know exactly how much you will be paying at the outset. Ideally ensure that you will always deal with the same person so that they can develop an understanding of you business and your particular needs.
Large accounting firms can offer accountants with a range of experience and the certainty that you can always speak to an accountant (although not necessarily the same one each time) so no worrying what to do while your accountant is away on hol- As with many professionals, an iday or dealing with another accountants level of underclinet. But there are also advan- standing of their own subject is
so deep that they can fail to realise that ordinary mortals do not understand some aspects of accountancy at all, let alone in any depth, so ask plenty of questions until you have a clear idea of what they are saying. This is particularly important if you are opting for additional services and guidance. You need to understand what is on offer and what you need and remember that a chartered accounting firms can offer guidance on setting up a business, preparation of financial forecasts, help with loan applications, audits, investment advice, ways of minimising your tax liability and advice concerning HMRC investigations. An accountant can also help you with record keeping, essential if your business was ever to be the subject of an HMRC investigation, but equally important to save time and money checking invoices, for instance. And because accountants deal with many businesses they can also be a surprisingly good source of recommendations of other busi-
nesses that you might need to deal with or even investors. But if you really want to keep you accountants bills down then do as much as you can yourself by handling the simple bookkeeping tasks and maybe investing in simple accounting software, many of which can be used online. Your accountant's time can then be better used dealing with the areas that you cannot do yourself. If your business is successful there may come a time when you can hand everything over and concentrate on growing the business. Above all, remember thatan experienced chartered accountant can give guidance in a number of areas so it is always worth asking if you need help. Preparing a business plan, costing new projects, seeking additional investment, valuing a business for sale and acting as a tax advisor are just a few aspects where they could offer help.

NEW YORK - A woman accused of stealing a New York cat refused a deal to keep her out of jail, saying she feels she was in the right because the cat appeared abused. Nancy Glassman appeared Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court and declined the deal offered by prosecutors, which would have dismissed the charges in six months if she avoided further legal trouble, the New York Post reported Thursday. Glassman said she encountered the cat,
Cosmo, at the Bagels & Co. shop Sept. 22. “I see the cat walk from these huge filthy dusty bags in the corner and this guy brooms him to the side,” she said. “I saw this abuse then saw the cat’s ears and thought what’s wrong with him? This cat has a massive infection and needs help.” Glassman took the cat to Animal Care and Control NYC. She said a pair of detectives soon visited her North Woodmere, N.Y., home and asked her to come down to the precinct and identify the cat. “They tricked me and when I got there they started read-

Glassman spent the night in a holding cell before being arraigned on a burglary charge, which she said she will fight in court. “I don’t believe I did anything wrong,” she said outside the courthouse. “The whole world is saying how can we stop abuse, how can we stop the Adam Lanzas of the world but no one wants to get involved. I thought he needed help so I helped. It was automatic.” A veterinarian determined the cat’s sores and large ears were the result of a congenital defect and not caused

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A California grandmother who went with a friend to a concert at a restaurant said she was shocked to find “Old Ladies” printed at the top of her bill. The woman, who did not want to be identified, said she and a friend won tickets to the concert at the Bull Shed Bar and Grill in Bakersfield and they discovered their bill for the food they ordered
at the show had been labeled “Old Ladies,” KERO-TV, Bakersfield, reported Thursday. “Not everyone is a stereotype person and I think the idea of tabling, tables with names that are appropriate for people, they can be at table one, table two, table three, whatever, but our table was named ‘Old Ladies,’” she said. “At first, I was like ‘oh, no way,’ and my girlfriend that was with me, she thought it was funny and said it’s funny, but to a point,” the woman said. A picture of the bill posted on Facebook garnered numerous comments supportive of the women and critical of their server. Angel Gonzales, owner of the restaurant, said the server had only been working for a few weeks and was likely overwhelmed on the night of the concert. “This is not the way we run our business,” he said. “That night, it was extremely busy. It was the night of the concert. It’s not an excuse. It shouldn’t of happened, no matter what,” he said. Gonzales said he personally apologized to the woman. “The lady took the time to come down here to talk to me. I explained to her what happened and I apologized to her,” he said.

keep a sled handy in case you need to slide your pregnant wife down the hill. That was exactly the thinking of Philadelphia resident Fabian Bonanni when a particularly heavy snowstorm was predicted on the very day his wife Shirley was due. Sure enough, as more than a foot of snow was falling on the northeast earlier this week Shirley went into labor. “The contractions went from 10 minutes apart to, ‘Oh, she’s delivering right now,’” Bonanni said. “She couldn’t walk; she was going into labor with every step.” As the neighbors looked on Fabian started pulling his wife through the snow on his sled, but things began moving faster that he anticipated. Fabian delivered his daughter right there on the sled, scooping her into his arms as his wife braved the morning’s subzero temperatures. He took her into a neighbor’s house where paramedics were called. “It was like something you’d see in a movie,” the neighbor said. “At first, I thought they were having fun. It’s probably the strangest thing to ever happen here.” At last report the entire family was doing fine.

the vehicle had what appeared to be fresh crash damage to its right side and was completely missing its right rear tire, the Gainesville Sun reported Tuesday. Jail workers contacted police, who determined Watkins was showing signs of impairment. She was arrested after failing a field sobriety test and police measured her blood alcohol content at .222 and .215, nearly three times the legal limit in Florida, the newspaper said. Watkins was charged with driving under the influence and was being held Monday afternoon at the same jail she drove up to. The police report did not say how Watkins’ car was damaged or whether she knew she was driving onto jail property. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, England - A 19year-old British man who came down with a case of the hiccups in November said he has since hiccuped more than one million times with no sign of stopping. Chris McKernan, 19, of Tunbridge Wells, England, said his case of the hiccups started Nov. 20 and he has since been hiccuping an average 25 times per minute for a total of more than 1.4 million hiccups, the Mirror reported Monday. McKernan said folk cures such as breathing into a bag, sucking on a lemon and standing on his head have failed to stop the hiccups, and doctors were left baffled when acid relieving medications failed to stop the ailment. “Everyone gets annoyed or laughs at me [when I

EL EJIDO, Spain - While a lot of Americans find some of our gun control laws intrusive, it can’t be argued that firearms shouldn’t be kept out of the hands of some people, like this homeless man in Spain, for example. A 34-year-old man in the southern Spanish city of El Ejido was attempting to illegally occupy an apartment in a residential building when a group of neighbors confronted him. Panicked by their reaction, he pulled out a gun and fired several shots to intimidate them, but when the man attempted to put the weapon back in his pocket, he mistakenly shot himself in the pubic region. That’s “pubic” region, not public region. It was the very same people he had threatened minutes before who then took him to the Emergency Room in the local Hospital. The man had lost a considerable amount of blood since the bullet punctured his testicles. Although the squatter is still recovering from his injuries, he faces charges for illegal possession of firearms as soon as he is released from hospital.

New Bands/Artists: 14 For 2014 Baby Pink Baby Pink are a new band worth taking note of. Forming a little over six months ago; the Brummies' might be one of the first 'new wave' bands to form on the back of the B-town movement (think Swim Deep/Peace). Success does breed success, but the youngsters have crafted their own niche, which hopefully won't see them constantly being pigeon holed with the above. Childhood Childhood are a band that have grown and grown in 2013. The band first came to many people's attention with frequent support slots with Palma Violets but as the year came to a close they released their mammoth new single 'Pinballs' and showed they are a band to be taken seriously Circa Waves Listening to Circa Waves takes your mind back to the early-noughties when The Strokes reigned supreme and the good ship of Albion was on-course to arcadia. Their no holds barred style of indie is kinda addictive. They may find a fair deal of mainstream success awaits them in 2014. Coastal Cities Coastal Cities are a young band with sharp haircuts and even sharper melodies. Wanna know what they sound like? Think 80s influenced pop; smashing head first into modern day Indie-rock with dreamy consequences. Darlia Hailing from Blackpool, Darlia take you back to a time when Cobain was still in his prime and the music landscape was laced in snarly grunge. The young three-piece recently released their debut EP 'knock knock' which reached national acclaim and is filled with all the raw energy and teenageangst you'd expect to find in a bunch of confused kids growing up in a coastal town.
Drowners A little of trivia for you... New York based Drowners are named after a Suede's debut single, fronted by Welch born ex-male model, Matt Hill. But that is where the Suede comparisons end as the band specialise in lo-fi post-punk. They've spent 2013 recording their debut album. Supporting The Vaccines and receiving much love from Zane Lowe!
The Wytches have got their Grungy Garage-Rock sound down to a (T). And are a band that need to be caught 'live' in a small cramped sweat-box to be really appreciated. They've spent 2013 playing extensively up and down the country; making a name for themselves along the way. They recently came off tour with Toronto punks Metz and showed they've got the material to hold their own on a bigger stage.
Eagulls Leads based punks Eagulls have a real empathy for noise, they really do, and when we played their last single 'Trouble' for the first time late last year, it took a few listens to really begin to take it all in such is the rawness and lo-fi of their sound. All in all, they should cater for all your post punk needs.
Fat White Family Fat White Family have built quite a buzz around them over the past six months. With the NME quick to declare them as "probably the best band in London right now" no pressure on the lads from Peckham then!. If you think 'indie' and guitar music in general as gone stale over recent years, then the Fat White's may be one of the new breed to Ecstasy More chilled out than its chemical rekindle your enthusiasm a-little. counter-part and less likely to give you the old come-down, ECSTASY Superfood are a synth-led indie band from Superfood spent large parts of 2013 London.

Tedeschi Trucks Band Tivoli Theatre, Chattanooga, TN The Tedeschi Trucks Band played to an enthusiastic full house Tuesday at the Tivoli Theatre in Chattanooga. I have literally seen Derek Trucks grow up before my eyes. I remember a 12year-old Trucks performing at the old Sand Bar. Owner Mike Dougher told me of Trucks’ heritage (he’s the nephew of Allman Brothers Band drummer and cofounder Butch Trucks). Trucks has made a name for himself as one of the most accomplished guitarists. In 2011 Rolling Stone listed Trucks as the 16th greatest

2010 and won a Grammy for in 2012 for their debut album, “Revelator” for best blues album. The following year they put out a live album and last year their second studio album, “Made Up Mind” was released.
The husband and wife duo (along with the other nine members of the band), traded guitar licks as Tedeschi kept up for the most part with Trucks one of the best slide guitarists around. Trucks may be second only to Duane Allman as far as that goes. Tedeschi’s raspy vocals brought to mind a love child of Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin as her vocals matched the music perfectly. Of the 16 songs played nine came from the studio albums with the remainder coming from Trucks’ and Tedeschi’s solo work. Also thrown in for good measure was a nice cover of Elmore James’ “The Sky Is Crying”. Opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band were The London Souls. Fresh off a tour with the Black Crowes this past summer the three-piece. The brash threepiece brazenly wore their influences on their collective sleeve bringing to mind Led Zeppelin and the late ’60 British rock movement. Their set was strong and they got the packed house in a groove and ready for the headliners.
