Hey friend!  As you may remember, last year, Jeanine Jersey  and I went to New Orleans to work with  Habitat for Humanity in the Musician’s Village, in the area that is STILL left devastated from Hurricane Katrina. We were so moved by the destruction we saw there, that we decided that we were going to come back again each year, and bring as many people with us as we could, to help rebuild this incredible city!

With the inauguration this week, and our new President’s call for everyone to make a difference in their communities, the Strength in Numbers Foundation has decided to act NOW.  We are raising money to send skilled workers with us to New Orleans to work with Habitat for Humanity from February 25th - March 1st.  We will be paying for their airfare, hotel, and transportation to and from the worksite. 

After going last January, Jeanine and I believe that we can help them build homes more efficiently by bringing skilled workers who can hit the ground running.  Our aim is to do our part to help get New Orleans back on its feet, and then, this summer, we plan on working with the Hartford Chapter of Habitat for Humanity to work here at home, when the weather is warmer.

Strength In Numbers is a non-profit foundation, granted tax exempt status by the IRS, and is established as a 501(c)3 public foundation.  Our tax ID number for your records, if you make a tax-exempt donation, is: 26-2627735.

Here’s how you can get involved:   We are asking businesses to sponsor one hour of the Hot Morning Crew  with Nancy and Buck between  6 am  and 10 am , for the week of January 26th - January 30th.  In return for your $250 donation to the Strength in Numbers Foundation, you will receive 4 mentions an hour on the Morning Show.  Have a message that you want to get out about your business?  This is your chance to do that, AND help a charity, at the same time!  Or if you are an individual that would like to make a smaller donation, every little bit will help us bring as many skilled workers as possible.

Interested?  Please contact Nancy directly at nnbarrow@cbs.com , or mail your check directly to the Strength In Numbers Foundation, 198 B Woodrow Street, West Hartford, CT 06107.

Thank you, in advance, for anything you can do to help – whether it’s to make a donation or just send good thoughts and prayers our way.  Together, we CAN make a difference in our community and beyond!

THIS IS A PICTURE OF Capt. C.B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the US Airways pilot who made an emergency landing in the Hudson RiverWithout power, returning to the airport was out of the question, aviation experts said, and the pilot radioed air traffic controllers on Long Island that his plane had sustained a “double bird strike.” He saw a small airport in the distance, apparently the one in Teterboro, N.J., but decided to head down the Hudson and make a water landing, a rare event that is mentioned in the safety instructions given by flight crews to all passengers on every flight.

Aviation experts said such a maneuver is tricky. An angle of descent that is too steep could break off the wings and send the aircraft to the bottom. Witnesses in high-rise building on both sides of the river described a gradual descent that appeared to be carefully controlled, almost as if the choppy surface of the Hudson was a paved tarmac. The pilot raised his landing gear.

Not four minutes after takeoff, Jeff Kolodjay’s senses told him something had gone terribly wrong on US Airways Flight 1549.

“I heard a loud explosion from the left side of the plane,” Kolodjay said, and he smelled a strong odor of gas.

“I could see fire, kind of, passing by my window,” he said. “The captain said, ‘Brace for impact!’ Everybody started saying prayers. ‘Brace for impact’ is not what you want to hear.”

Kolodjay, 31, of  Norwalk Conn., was in seat 22A of the US Airways Airbus when it ditched into the frigid Hudson River on Thursday afternoon, sending more than 150 on board scrambling onto rescue boats. All passengers were reported to be off the plane, federal officials said.Of the impact, Kolodjay said, “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.”

The pilot reported the plane hit a flock of geese after taking off at about 3 p.m. from LaGuardia Airport, MSNBC said.

Standing on 12th Avenue near 40th Street after the harrowing experience, the shivering Kolodjay was asked if he thought he was going to die. “I never want to think I’m gonna die,” he said.

Kolodjay, who was traveling to Charlotte with five male friends, was taken ashore on a small rescue craft. His five friends all were on a different craft, he said, and he believed they all were OK.

Kolodjay used a cell phone to call his wife at work and tell her he was all right. Looking exhausted, he said: “I’m just happy to be standing here.”When all were out, the pilot walked up and down the aisle twice to make sure the plane was empty, officials said

ASHANTI IS PREGNANT WITH NELLY’S BABY . ACCORDING TO A GOOD SOURCE REPORTS CLAIM  THEY  WERE IN ATLANTA SHOOTING A VIDEO WITH PLIES, AND AFTER  THE SHOOT WRAPPED  THEY TOLD THEIR CLOSE FRIENDS THEY WERE EXPECTING A BABY.  BUT THEN AGAIN , THIS IS A COUPLE  WHO DENIED THEY WERE TOGETHER…

THEY LOOK LIKE A HAPPY COUPLE LET’S HOPE THIS REPORT  RFROM MEDIATAKEOUT.COM  IS TRUE THIS TIME AAROUND !!!!! MEANTIME…….HOLD ONTO YOUR COMPUTERS AT WORK… THIS IS A HOT ONE !!!!

 KARRINE  STEFFANS  AKA  SUPERHEAD  HAS WRITTEN A NEW BOOK AND WE HAVE EXERPTS.. THE BOOK IS CALLED  “THE VIXEN,THE VIXEN MANUALS. “IN IT SHE TALKS  FRANKLY ABOUT  ORAL SEX…AND HOW TO MAKE IT MORE FUN FOR WOMEN TO GIVE IT TO THEIR MAN. HERE IS AN EXERPT  FROM THE NEW  BOOK ACCORDING TO MEDIATAKEOUT.COM. (WARNING THIS MAY NOT BE SAFE TO READ AT WORK !) “IF the slobbing of the knob is a big deal to your hubby, you owe it to him, yourself and to your marriage to at least give it an honest, wholehearted try. After all, a man will either marry a woman who wants to have sex with him or cheat on his wife with one.
Pick a side, ladies, and if you are determined to give your husband what he wants and needs from you, prepare to prepare the p*nis and its surrounding areas.
The fact is, p*nises are not the prettiest or best-smelling things in the world, sometimes, and our men may need a little help with their manscaping, among other things … like not gagging us half to death with the hair down there! Introduce him to the products and rituals that can help you be at ease down south and, soon, he’ll like it too!
Trimming, waxing, wipes, powder and alcohol-free scented products are a great start. Let your mate know that there is nothing feminine about taking extra special care of his special place, but also, please let him know it’s not so special right after he finishes playing ball with the boys! Ugh!”
