Nonprofit called the Community First village. We joined formerly Homeless People for a Christmas Tree lighting and spent a cold, rainy night with them rejoicing at what this organization and the good hearted people who work there have helped them to achieve. At one point in 2012, sandy had my biting down on a starburst candy so that students attending summer camp could analyze my dental impression. I never got a report back exactly how that turned out. But sandy is not a fairweather friend. Shes also been by my side during some very difficult times. For example, in 2009, following the horrific shooting at fort hood, she was there as i fought to find words to provide even an ounce of comfort to the grieving post and the families there. We paid our respects to these american heroes and watched the ramp ceremony as their flagduring this period caskets were loaded into a c17 for their flight to dover. Then there was 2013 in west texas thats not the region, thats the name of the city follow
Our reporter ben king has the details. When drinkers gather at londons King Charles Pub this evening, there will be a new tax regime in place. Changes announced in March Come Into Effect today taxing stronger drinks more and weaker drinks less. At the same time, Alcohol Duties rise with inflation up by io. I . The result a complex series of changes. 12 sparkling wine will be i9p cheaper as higher rates for fizz are abolished. A can of pre mixed gin and tonic will be 5p cheaper. But a bottle of 12 still wine will rise 44p. A bottle of vodka up 76p and a bottle of 20 port up £1. 30. So among drinkers, there will be some winners and losers. But the wine and spirits industry, which sees many of its products hit with higher taxes, says customers will see higher prices and less choice. We have the biggest duty increase in almost 50 years at the same time as we have inflation rife and a cost of living crisis. On top of that, we have Raw Materials like glass that are increasing in price expon

Hello. After the abundance of blue skies many saw through the week, the weekend is already looking different. A lot more cloud out there. There will be some rain at times, not for everyone. One or two spots will stay dry. But the general trend, especially later this weekend, is for colder air to arrive. Now, at the moment, weve got two main rain bearing clumps of cloud, one to the south, mainly to the southwest. And this one here, which across southern scotland, Northern Ireland, far north of england, continues to produce rain through the afternoon. Turning a bit lighter and patchier, never quite reaching some of the central belt. And here northwards, plenty of sunshine for most, a bit of cloud lingering around the murray firth and sutherland.
