PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten - Dozens of people in St. Maarten are being treated for latent tuberculosis after health officials warned that they may have been exposed to the illness by a stripper infected with an active form of the disease.
At least 40 people tested positive after the health department treated an exotic dancer from the Dominican Republic several months ago and sent her home, according to a government news release issued Friday.
Health officials struggled to identify those exposed, launching a public campaign to urge anyone who had contact with the woman to seek treatment. They now believe they have identified everyone infected.

anyone have a spare PCI video card (with s-video out) that they no longer need? still working on my tivo box. let me know how much $$ you want for it.
Also open to suggestions of ones to purchase.
that new liqour store has the lowest prices for beer ever.
Oh man a good weekend at the in-laws. Filled with service and insanity.
Has anyone had Blue Moon beer before? My wife drinks it when we have beer, she really likes it with an orange slice. I think it's ok, nothing special.
This weekend, we were hanging out with Wes T. (you guys know him? he's HUGE) and he's freaking out about Harvest Moon, it's like a pumpkin ale version of Blue Moon. We take a ride and get some (from the new liquor store on Stelton behind the Starbucks/Longhorn) ... I gotta say, REALLY good.
When it's sold out, stores aren't getting any more, so get some while you still can.
who just happened to catch Celebrity Fit Club on TV Guide channel? All of America is gonna well HATE Dustin Diamond from this past episode. What an ignorant jerk. One of the judges would've beat him to death I think if no one was there watching and there to hold him back.
im FINALLY going to get my car fixed next week. i was in an accident a few weeks ago and the guy who hit me totally lied to his insurance company. so when they were talking to me they're like "yeah, he lied and is at fault" like how can you give one story to the police and then another to your ins co.? like they're not going to find out. lol LAME
wow, pretty smart thinking on his part. so they're paying for it?
i know right? yes they're paying for EVERYTHING! it seriously was a no brainer tho, the cops told me he was at fault. i was driving down the fwy and he came into my lane and pushed me into the next lane.
yay and iwz... check it

the super hottest guy in the company has his office on the other side of my cubicle. so he was yelling back and forth from his office to the guys on his team (not angrily just not wanting to leave his desk) then i heard him say "GIIIIIIINA" which i got SUPER excited about and im like "WOW he's calling me" then i was all giddy and then i realized he was actually saying "VIIIIIIIVA" then came the "las vegas" LOL
ian i'm not sure you want to subject your relatives to Rutgers fans...
they will get harassed... a lot. maybe peed on.
i'm just saying.. it happens.
juicy/yay its getting hotter. they're expecting it to be in the 90's by monday. today its to be in the mid 80's
wow insane . . . believe it or not it was 71 here last night, around midnight. but that's just the global warming talking I reckon.
AHH yes. I like the RED on the top. RU dominates #2.
Piscataway and NB are messes right now. YES!
Ian I can't wait to stomp all over you and your mountaineer relatives.
Buncha jerks!
haha
wow, i've been reading up on personality disorders and this is a sign of a narcissistic abuser:
No remorse for mistakes or misdeeds when caught, Projects his/her faults on to others. High blaming behavior; never his/her fault, Little if any conscience, Has a good front(persona) to impress and exploit others, Low stress tolerance, People are to be manipulated for his/her needs, Twists conversation to his gain at other’s expense. If trapped, keeps talking or changes the subject, pathological lying, ttremendous need to control situations, Often perceived as caring and understanding and uses this to manipulate, Does not share ideas, feelings, emotions, hides behind persona, moody, secret life unbeknown to others, Grandiose. Convinced he knows more than others and is correct in all he/she does, Can get emotional, tearful. This is about show or frustration rather than sorrow, Sabotages partner, Convincing. Must convince people to side with him/her, Hides his real self, always “on”, has to win (to look good to others), You feel miserable with this person they drain you, Does not listen because he/she does not care, his/her feelings are discussed, not the partners
so is this just the fact of the day or what?
nah, i have a niece who's schizophrenic so when she does something i look certain things up and i come across these personality disorders. and i came across this one and it reminded me of my friends wife. i love her to death but she does possess these traits.
so if you know someone thats indifferent, maybe these will help you/us understand the person might need help.
and encourage them to get the help.
mmm, breakfast for tomorrow! homemade Balut!
EWWWWW one of my co-workers went to asia to visit our factories and said she was in hong kong and she said they wanted her to eat this chicken dish and she said she lost it when they started spitting out (in a cup thats provided) the toenails of the chicken. she said she wanted to hurl right there.
OH MY GOD! You see, this is one of the reasons one of my sisters won't eat eat eggs... being freaked out by something like this.
nasty

oh coo
i do not feel like working! ive been sitting here trying but everyone's calling me over or stopping to talk. im just over it.
actually im pretty hyper. i asked for decaf coffee this morning and they gave me caffenated. LOL im like seriously bouncing off the walls...and its weird, its like a delayed reaction.
so weird...since tuesday night I've gotten 26 prank calls: 20 on my cell, 1 at home and 5 at work. When I answer, someone's there but doesn't say anything then eventually hang up. If I don't answer they keep calling. I dunno what's up but after the next I'm calling the police.
bbwwhat?!?!?!! katie that's mad creepy. after twenty calls i woulda called the cops. if they're on your cell are they blocked? and no number comes up?
that's not cool at all :(
hahaha be careful there are a lot of creepy peeps out there...and since you DID mention you're naive to crime out in this world...you need to watch your back.
I find your reply intriguing
i volunteer to call the police for you!
LOL ok. um you are the one that said you're naive to certain crimes. im telling you to watch your back...there are sick peeps in this world. YOU are on the radio, right? you come across all kinds of peeps right? well you dont know what sicko's are out there. i need to watch my back everyday is all im saying.
annoying. whenever i get pranked i'm thinking 'who is so small-time and pretty that they'd want to prank me?' prank calling is sooo 6th grade. hope it stops.
pretty = petty
when someone prank calls me im intrigued...means im cool & popular! LOL
hahaha, or a willy nilly wench running around town making enemies! either way it's flattering!
seriously huh? as long as no one threatens me or touches me, call all you want....cause im coolio!
okay, cool! can i prank you?
Getting a new phone with Verizon...any recommendations?
Samsung i760
isnt the treo (sp?) verizon? that looks pretty cool!!
Well, the Treo phones are Palm and can be used on any GSM network carrier. Then, Cingular & Verizon have branded ones. (I have an unbranded & unlocked one & decided to use T-mobile). The Cingular ones can be used on with a different GSM carrier if you ever decide to cancel service with them but I don't know if the same applies for the Verizon branded one. However, I do know that an unbranded Treo (or branded with something other than Verizon) can not be used on Verizon, which stinks. ... Verizon doesn't use SIM cards I think.
haha and as I typing this... FedEx pulls up with the Palm Treo I just bought off eBay... 'cause my other one broke on Sunday during band practice when I was hitting the tamborine against my leg! From now on, everything comes out of my pockets during band jams!
haha you were totally getting down w/that tambourine huh?
Not in the joyful dancing sense... just that I was adding to the percussion on it while doing Theremin and I hit my right front pocket with the Tambourine pretty hard... and said oh shoot, my phone's there! I was gonna post the recording of it - but vocals got way too overdriven - we didn't do a sound check - & then it was accidently deleted anyway I just found out. Might as well give the link to our page tho & there's 2 songs uploaded there for listening http://www.myspace.com/sleepingtreesmusic (nothing serious posted there yet... take that into account before making fun of please haha)
Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking regular phone, I have a motorola Q for work and the battery life is terrible. What about the Samsung SCH-U740 or the ENV? Anyone have those?
Wait until November when the "Voyager" comes out... its like the enV but much much better... you wont regret it...
Yeah, I think I'm going to wait for it.
Yeh ...don't get Verizon
IM SO EXCITED! they're FINALLY building a little mermaid ride at dland!!
good. see you there. I will be the guy in red
guy the stubhub tix aren't that bad.. if you still need 'em i think I can get them from the kids at 30$ or so...
up to you
already bought some, thanks for checking into it
WOW i know of a few psycopaths (mimic the same behavior)im sure some of you know of some too....
superficial charm, self-important, deceptive behavior & lying, manipulative, little remorse or guilt, shallow emotional response, pretneds to have empathy, early behavioral problems, blaming others for their actions....They can have jobs, get married and they can break the law like anyone else. But their jobs and marriages usually don’t last and their life is usually on the verge of personal chaos due to covering their own lies. A psychopath is usually a subtle manipulator. They do this by playing to the emotions of others. There is always a shallow quality to the emotional aspect of their stories. In particular they have difficulty describing how they felt, why they felt that way, or how others may feel and why. In many cases you almost have to explain it to them. Close friends and parents will often end up explaining to the psychopath how they feel and how others feel who have been hurt by him or her. They desperately avoid incarceration and loss of freedom but continue to act as if they can get away with breaking the rules. They don't learn from these consequences. They seem to react with feelings and regret when they are caught. But their regret is not so much for other people as it is for the consequences that their behavior has had on them, their freedom, their resources and their so called "friends." They can be very sad for their self. The definition of their "friends" are people who support the psychopath and protect them from the consequence of their own antisocial behavior. Shallow friendships, low emotional intelligence, using people, and merely thinks about ways to not get caught.
there's a book thats called the sociopath next door. and basically says every 1 in 5 people is a sociopath and never shows regret. so check amongst your friends and if you don't find one, its you.
haha so true! isnt that insane? i think my old boss is one. i was showing this to my boss and she agrees...he seriously has all but one or 2 of the characteristics.
i'm definitely a psychopath. *shrug*
frick! sounds like my cat
Double frick!
i wanna learn spanish so bad. someone teach me! :)
we have so many people come in and try to talk to me in spanish. i guess the italian look is pretty similar to the spanish look, and i feel bad when i'm like, nope, sorry, no habla. haha
its pretty much the same. we talked to some italians that were visting from positano when we were in NYC in spanish and they responded in italian. it worked. lol
if you have trouble on some spanish words i can help ya...let me know.
Thanks! yea, i can understand some things. i should just have you on call when i need help. haha
I'm Russian/Irish and some of the kids at school (I work in the ghett-o aka Paterson) thought I was Spanish. Of course, some of the other kids thought my nationality was "Jewish" and when I told one girl what I was, when she asked, she just said, "Oh. So you're white?"
BTW
Edy's Slow Churned DOES indeed make pumkin ice cream
heaven
they just call it slow churned to distract you from the fact that it is low fat. it isn't churned any slower from the regular ice cream. it just tastes worse.
oh it's low fat? i didn't even know that's what slow churned means. ha
It's pretty good, really. And it is actually a different process for making ice cream that reduces ice crystals (which make ice cream less smooth) and doesn't require adding in extra fat to keep it smooth. So, it's more like no extra fat added.
From Wikipedia:
In 2004, Dreyer's began using a new churning processes called low-temperature extrusion. Unlike traditional churning methods, the ice cream does not need to be frozen once it is done churning. Since this freezing stage produces large ice crystals, which gives the ice cream a grainy texture, manufacturers would add milkfat to counterbalance the grainy texture. As this extra freezing process isn't necessary with low-temperature extrusion, the "slow churned" line of ice cream is labeled as containing 1/3 the calories and 1/2 the fat. Other manufacturers (like Haagen-dazs) have already followed suit and introduced light varieties using low-temperature extrusion.
oh, this is a good read from the NY Times on it.. interesting
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/26/dining/26cream.html?ex=1311566400&en=3bd2c5b1e7962c82&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
yeah it's 100 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving. that's like, less calories than a serving of corn or peas or potatoes
slow churned doesnt mean its low fat dude... its just the different style of ice cream...
uhhh, yeah it does, biff. it even says it on the flippin' carton.
no im SAYING the style SLOW CHURNED... DOES NOT MEAN, low fat...
henry
what is that? is it like a dreyers? or is it like a golden spoon?
yeah, pretty good stuff. it's pumpkininny!
i love all things pumpkin. i tried to make pumpkin soup last night. (For the second time) and for the second time....it sucked. i'm very disappointed. I wish i could find a good recipe.
we watched the new DVD last night, about Timothy. I gotta say, it's really good. anyone else see it?
oh my goodness i just scored tickets to both the daily show and the colbert report!!!! i don't even care that i have to wait til january....i'm so super excited right now!!!!
alison sudol so secksay
yeah so the orthopedic surgeon said i probably don't need surgery, but he wants to do an MRI just to make sure. woot.
so i think my boss is dying. she called in sick and the 5 years ive worked with her she's NEVER EVER called in sick. not once. and if she is sick, she'll come in, do what she needs and leaves. pretty freaky.
this is so hilarious...
watch!
40 game in forty nights days that's like that bible story about that ship full of animals driven by that old woman
----noah
no of course i don't noah she's been dead for over 100 years.
hahaha.
lauren won tickets for "up close and personal" with lifehouse tonight ... of course it's a meeting night and of course you have to show up in person with your ID

i could go, my name is very close
lauren and muffy are not close
you do know that my name is not actually muffy right?
yes it is....
Lifehouse is still playing these days? wow
this week is exciting
transformers
guitar hero 3 for wii
new jimmy eat world
i like it
you can buy this transformer thing at WalMart. I heard the commercial this morning and thought of you. (What is it by the way? Apparently this is something children want?)
uhm it's a movie
we saw it together.
what children are you buying things for?
yours!
Well Dan was talking about kids at the assembly this past weekend... so it is on his mind...
whaaaaaaaaat .... i made lauren give BACK ivan and maribel's child b/c I did not want her to get too comfortable with babies
whatever your always talking about how you want to have kids before matthew and janet so your kids will be the favorite....
So the truth comes out....
Is that the Maribel from Fair Lawn? Was friends with Karen and her sister back in the day?
the very one
Wow, married with a baby! Pretty cool. What about the Ciencis (Siente, Czientze, etc, etc)... they married too?
Brenda is the only one of the two girls that is married at the moment...
oh yeah, for some reason i thought this was a type of television. I was thinking that this Transformer thing was something your "inner child" wanted lol
you two are obviously related, it's cute
so why dont you marry them then
you two are ridiculous
What?? We're related?????
are you pretending not to know me?
wow muffy, you are SO mean....
my inner child ... what is going on here

no whats that?
oh it's good i'll make you a cd buddy
ok thanks fee
no problem muffy
hey when are we hanging out
when i get back from my vacay
I'm happier being naive about how much crime actually goes on in this world. A reporter, Jill Leovy, after having covered 9/11 decided to investigate all the "forgotten" murders that occur in Los Angeles County. She says an average of 3 people are killed every day and has started this blog http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/homicidereport/
good thing you dont live in LA huh?
im in the mood for some toy dolls
ever wanted your own custom car lettering?
although maybe i'm a little old for that
ok so where's going to be the best place to buy transformers tomorrow? Target? Wal-mart? Where's the special editions coming from?
lauren and I don't like widescreen (stupid black bars) so I'm definitely getting full screen.
id say target. cause i LOOOOVE target!!!
what?! are you serious? that cuts out part of the picture dude... full screen is for losers...
you are a loser.
are you kidding me. you must be kidding. if you're not kidding, i give up on life.
give up. it's a personal pet peeve. i don't have a wide screen tv, so i'm always staring at these stupid bars.
in high school we watched "Last of the Mohicans" in history, I sat in the back of the class and could barely seen the screen, I mostly saw black bars and tiny people
i guess you all can buy me a new tv if you want
nah, its not bad, you're just easily distracted.
