Who is eligible for membership at Barefoot Resort & Golf?
Only those who own property in the Centex/Pulte Homes Developments, North Towers/Yacht Club Villas and The Retreat in Barefoot Resort and in the North Beach Plantation Project are eligible to secure the membership. There are properties in the Resort that are excluded from eligibility. The Corporate Membership does not require property ownership for eligiblity.
Is there a deadline by which property buyers must enroll?
Purchasers of any new Retreat property as offered through purchase have 60 days from the date of closing to enroll. Purchasers of new property in the North Beach Plantation Towers Development who wish to receive the complimentary initiation fee have 24 months from the date of closing to enroll. Purchasers of resale property who wish to secure the membership for a reduced transfer or initiation fee have 60 days from the date of closing to enroll.
What are the current monthly dues and can they change?
• Monthly dues certainly can change in the future.
What are the differences between the Golf and Social level and Social level?
May members upgrade from Social level to Golf level?
Yes, members may upgrade from Social to Golf at any time depending on when the member last changed levels. Barefoot does not switch members between Golf level and Social level depending on the time they are at or not at Barefoot Resort.
There is no additional fee for upgrading to the Golf level.
What family members are included in the Resort Membership?
The Resort Membership is set up as a "Family Membership" with membership defined as primary member, spouse/significant other and any children 23 and under. When children turn 24 they are no longer considered members.
How many tee times may golf members make and how many guests may members bring?
Each family membership may make one tee time per day up to a foursome.
Only those within the foursome may receive the appropriate member and guest discounts. Members may book additional guests but those exceeding the foursome limit must pay full price for golf with the exception of the "day-of-play" provision which is outlined below.
Golf Members may book large groups up to a maximum of 12 players on a "day-of-play" basis. Members may call as early as 6:00 AM on the day-of-play or walk into the clubhouse to inquire about available space. Tee times are available on a first come, first served basis and Barefoot Staff may refuse to book groups larger than a foursome based on the busyness of play on that day. Golf Members will pay the normal cart fee and all guests will play for member/guest rate.
How do I make tee times at Barefoot Resort?
Call the Pro Shop at 843-390-3200 or walk-in to the Pro Shop counter.
Golf members may make tee times as far out as seven days in advance.
What happens if I don't cancel a tee time and/or not show up for the tee time?
Barefoot Resort & Golf has a general tee time cancellation policy that asks for 48-hour notice of tee-time cancellation. This notice gives the Golf Club the opportunity to try and resell the tee time. If a member makes a tee time for a foursome, does not cancel and then does not show up, they will be charged for one member rate and three member guest rates.
What is the member-guest rate?
Currently ranges from $41 to $96, depending on season and time of day. Resort member guests play at member-guest rate. Member-guest rates are tied to the full "walk-in" rates and season.
Occasionally, member-guest special rates are offered. These are announced in member communication.
Is there an inactive member status?
Inactive status is available to a property owner who owns multiple properties and wishes to have a membership attached to each property. The owner must pay an initiation fee for each property but must only pay $25 monthly dues for the inactive property.
There is no inactive or "reduced benefit" status for those owners whose permanent residence is out-of-town. A member with only one property must be enrolled at least at the Social level.
How do we handle multiple owners of one property?
For current property owners, each owner must pay the initiation fee and monthly dues of the membership.
For new purchasers, The Retreat at Barefoot and North Beach Plantation Towers cover one initiation fee with each property sold. Additional owners must pay an initiation fee of $3,000 and appropriate monthly dues.
For resale purchases, additional owners must pay an initiation fee of $3,000 and appropriate monthly dues.
Memberships are not transferable from one property to the next. The value of the membership remains with the property and the seller of property forfeits the membership upon closing. Buyers of resale property that have memberships attached currently pay a $2,500 transfer fee to Barefoot Resort Golf Club, LLC. The transfer fee will likely increase as the value of the Resort Membership increases.
Memberships are not sold or transferred to non-property owners at Barefoot Resort or North Beach Plantation.
May Resort Members bring guests into the members only area?
Yes, they get the same privileges and benefits as the member as long as the member is present and paying the bill.
Is the initiation fee a one-time fee and will there be future fees as the value of the membership increases?
Currently, it is a one-time fee and there are no other assessments.
Are there any merchandise or food and beverage minimums?
Not at this time but may be subject to change.
May Members bring guests to participate in weekly Member play or Travel Days?
The weekly play and Travel Days are set up as privileges for Golf level Resort Members only. Therefore, guests of Members are not allowed to participate in these events.
How do I pay the monthly dues and charges to my account?
Each Member provides a credit card or bank account number for the Accounting Dept. to keep on file. Any account charges are billed to this card at the end of each month while dues are charged to the card at the beginning of each quarter (calendar year).
What happens when I fall behind on account and dues payments?
Any member with an account that is 30 days or more past due will not be allowed to charge to their member account until the balance is paid in full. Any member with an account that is 60 days or more past due will not receive any member discounts or privileges until the balance is paid in full. Accounts 6 months past due result in revocation of membership with full initiation fee required for reinstatement.
How do I keep up with my account balance?
The Accounting Dept. sends statements to all members depending on account activity and dues charges. If a member charges to an account, a statement listing all charges will be sent at the beginning of the following month. Statements listing dues charges are sent at the beginning of each quarter (calendar year) following the date the actual charge is made.
Statements may be sent to members either by e-mail or through the postal service.
What should I do when I sell my property at Barefoot Resort?
Provide proof of sale upon closing by forwarding a copy of the first page of the HUD Settlement or Closing Disclosure Statement to the Membership Dept. The Membership Dept. will then initiate cancellation and any dues credit owed member and also correspond with the buyer regarding their membership options. Of course, the membership is transferable to the buyer of a property which has a membership attached.
Do I need a member ID and, if so, how do I get it?
All Resort Members, including family members eligible for membership, must have a permanent magnetic stripe ID card in order to receive privileges and benefits associated with the membership. ID's are obtained by making an appointment with the Membership Dept. to have a photo taken and ID processed.
All members must present their ID when checking in for golf, buying merchandise or buying food and beverage at any of our Barefoot Resort & Golf facilities.
What should I do when my personal information on file with Barefoot changes?
It is the member's responsibility to contact the Membership Dept. (843-390-3207 or 843-390-3203) as soon as possible with address changes, phone number changes, e-mail changes and any other personal information changes which might affect communication. Changes or updates relating to credit card numbers and the member's account should also be directed to the Membership Dept. (843-390-3207 or 843-390-3203). Office hours for the Membership Dept. are 8:00 am – 4:00 pm Monday – Friday.
What is the status of the facilities at the Barefoot Driving Range?
The Barefoot Bar & Grill at the Driving Range is now operated by a private individual. However, Barefoot Members may still receive a 10% discount at the Putters Pub Bar & Grill if the Member ID is displayed.

At the heart of every BitScope is a programmable virtual machine.
The virtual machine looks like a simple RISC CPU with a set of byte code instructions operating on a set of byte wide registers. Virtual machine programs (called scripts) are stored in the host but executed in the virtual machine byte-by-byte as they are received.
RISC style instruction set of 42 or more single byte instructions.
Instructions operate on a set of 46 or more single byte registers.
Execution is "live" via the communications port.
No programs need to be stored in BitScope memory.
Programs called scripts define the operation of BitScope.
All instruction execution is atomic which is very important.
A virtual machine design has a number of advantages.
Efficiency: each instruction may be highly optimized for performance. A general interpreter like BASIC can do anything - but in a very inefficient way. A virtual machine instruction is compact like assembly code, but may perform an extremely complex task.
Modularity: once a register set and basic command set are devised, extensions may be made by adding new instructions to enhance the machine. The original instructions remain the same.
Portability: changes to the physical machine (ie PIC) have little impact on the virtual machine design and the software that runs on the virtual machine.
Because they live in host memory, scripts are not limited to the memory in BitScope itself. The virtual machine design means you do not need to know PIC programming to program BitScope. You can think of the BitScope VM as a machine that implements a Little Language as summarized here. Consequently it is very easy to program BitScope.

Gowdy's deviation from the Trumpian line on this, echoing Paul Ryan's from last week, is a perfect case of trying to have it both ways. Ryan was the ultimate enabler of this farce, signing off on the Nunes crusade, and Gowdy is the guy who read the underlying FISA warrant application documents on which the memo was based. So nobody should get too excited about their supposed "independence" on this. They were primary facilitators.
One wonders if Nunes has any knowledge of that time in 1950 when a senator named Joseph McCarthy pulled out a "list" he claimed had the names of 200 people in the State Department whom he accused of politically motivated wrongdoing. It didn't end well.
Apparently, the Nunes team think they have more "evidence" of political interference having something to do with longtime Clinton associate and right-wing punching bag Sidney Blumenthal, as well as a man named Cody Shearer, who traveled in Clinton circles 20 years ago.
I have no idea what Blumenthal (who was once the Washington editor of Salon) is accused of doing this time. The Guardian recently reported that Shearer, a former journalist, had evidence pertaining to the Russia investigation which the FBI had been looking at since October 2016. Shearer's "dossier" was turned over to the FBI by the former MI6 agent Christopher Steele, who didn't vouch for his information but noted that it dovetailed with what some of his own sources had told him. Whether the FBI has verified any of Shearer's information remains unknown.
It's easy at this point to imagine the high-pitched howls of outrage spilling forth from the mouth of Sean Hannity over this news. The case right-wingers seem to be building here is that the FBI and the Department of Justice (and apparently other departments as well) are thoroughly corrupted by associations with Democrats and must be purged of the taint. Indeed, the central thrust of the Nunes Memo is that the FBI used information from a source (i.e., Steele) who had been paid by Democrats, which renders the information useless.
Over the course of the last few days, legal experts patiently explained that the motivation of informants and sources is not relevant to the question of whether the information they provide is true. Cases are made every single day on the basis of testimony and evidence provided by people whose motives are anything but pure: gangsters, jailhouse snitches, angry spouses, whatever. It's not as if the authorities just take their word for it. Information has to be corroborated, and apparently the FISA warrant application process is particularly demanding in that regard.
Nonetheless, Trump and his loyalists are arguing that any Democratic member of the government bureaucracy is automatically suspect, and any information that comes from a Democratic partisan must be immediately discounted as unreliable. This is very interesting, considering Republicans' partisan history of feeding information to law enforcement and special counsels.
Most recently, we had the FBI open a case to investigate the Clinton Foundation partially on the basis of charges in the book "Clinton Cash," a partisan hit job by right-wing journalist Peter Schweizer, who is co-founder and president of Steve Bannon's Government Accountability Institute, a conservative nonprofit funded by right-wing mega-donors Robert and Rebekah Mercer. After President Trump repeatedly expressed his anger and frustration that the FBI was not "going after Hillary Clinton," it was announced just this month that the Little Rock office has re-opened the case. The recently exhumed Uranium One "scandal" sprang from the same partisan poison pen.
This Republican practice goes way back. The Whitewater scandal was a product of a coordinated partisan campaign called "the Arkansas Project," financed by a right-wing millionaire named Richard Scaife. The Department of Justice, the FBI and the independent prosecutors of that era chased their tails for years running down all the "tips" they got from anti-Clinton sources, from the so-called "elves" who set up the Paula Jones case to the malevolent Lucianne Goldberg, who encouraged Linda Tripp to trap Monica Lewinsky into talking about her affair with Bill Clinton on tape.
The idea that right-wingers are "projecting" their own disorders onto others is probably overdone, but in this case it holds up. Republicans who claim that because the Steele dossier was (partially) paid for by Democrats it is therefore a completely unreliable partisan attack against the president are simply reflecting their own patterns and practices -- which continue as we speak. It's absurd for anyone to take their criticisms seriously. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be a deterrence to Devin Nunes and his lieutenants. They've got memos lined up from here to Election Day. Their boss will be so pleased.

Larry David's Bernie Sanders Impression Was Spot-On — But Get James Adomian On 'SNL'!
Last week's Democratic Presidential Debate fueled a lot of conversations throughout the week about which candidate was the victor. Hillary Clinton? Bernie Sanders? Anyone who had previously seen Jim Webb speak? One might say that Saturday Night Live was the true winner with the particularly on-point casting of Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David as Sanders.
Starring in the cold open (along with fellow non-SNL performer Alec Baldwin making a surprisingly understated cameo as Webb), David pretty much filled the same space that Tina Fey did back in 2008 when the obvious similarities between her and then-Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin practically required her to return to the sketch program on which she got her big break. And as the clip below proves, David pretty much played himself (which is his specialty), delivering his patented yells with some Seinfeldian lines peppered throughout (because, seriously, what is the deal with podiums?).
It was a great and funny cold open, for sure, but many within the comedy community have pointed out that there's possibly a better person who could play Sanders in the long term — because, let's face it, the novelty of Larry David as Bernie Sanders is a good one, but there's only so far you can go with the joke, especially if he continues to do well in the polls. The other guy you might not know yet? James Adomian.
Adomian has been slowly rising in the comedy ranks throughout the last few years, beginning with his appearance on Last Comic Standing in 2010 (he made it into the top ten). He's also appeared on Comedy Bang! Bang!, Children's Hospital, and as President George W. Bush on MADtv. He's got plenty of impressions in his bag, ranging from Jesse Ventura to Gary Busey. And just last week, he appeared at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City to show off his pitch-perfect Bernie Sanders impression alongside regular UCBT performer Anthony Atamanuik as Donald Trump.
So, whattaya say, SNL? Let's get a professional wig on Adomian's head and put him up against Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton. I mean, two openly gay SNL cast members playing presidential hopefuls? What a dream!

What incredible timing!
Kentucky point
Location: Carter Co. KY
This past week, on our trip to Georgia, a NASCAR race was scheduled for Bristol TN. I knew that there would be a slight, but almost non existent chance we could see haulers. Me and my brother are huge NASCAR fans and we were holding out to see at least one trailer. Sure enough, as we hit the VA, NC border, Kyle Busch's hauler flew past, decked out in M&M's and Skittles bling. Kyle is my favorite driver. Denny Hamlin was next followed by the Hendrick motorsports team. Clint Bowyer, Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Alex Bowman, and scores of others drove past us. I tried to take pictures, and I only caught a few.
But this is not what this topic is about! On Monday, instead of going to Tybee Island GA, to look for seashells, we decided to go to Hilton Head, NC. We didn't find a darn thing. On the way back to where we were staying, My dad remembered that a coffee/apparel company was located nearby. Black Rifle Coffee Co. and Nine Line apparel were located in the same building. It is a veteran owned and operated store. As we pulled up, we saw an entourage of people, TV cameras, a NASCAR hauler and a tarped car outside of the building. We walked over to have a look, and then the owner of the company came out a told everybody to stand behind the tarped car and yell "three, two, one" as they were pulling off the tarp. And low and behold, Jeffrey Earnhardt walked up in front of the car! We counted down, and they unveiled Jeffrey's car for the race at Darlington Raceway! It was a beautiful car, and what incredible timing! If we came two minutes later, we would have missed out. My brother and I got a picture with him, and he signed my hat, and two promotional posters for us. All I could say was, "Gee thanks Mr. Earnhardt!"
Now that is what I call a vacation!
Chase Elliott and William Byron
As soon as NASCAR officially unveils the car at Darlington, I will post the picture of the car. Pics of my autographs are coming soon.

Earnhardt (Intimidator and Jr) is definitely a name I recognize but Jeffrey is a new one to Me. I don't stay informed on all The Nascar stuff but I enjoyed that Movie about The Earnhardt's and reading about The Intimidator.

Awesome, nice Pic's also.

Your title says it all KP. A once in a lifetime event and there you were. Awesome story and pics. Can't wait to see the unveiling pics.

I just can't release them until NASCAR does. Doing so could lead up to a $100,000 fine.
Here are my autographs.
*There are two posters.
This is the car they unveiled with us. The actual pictures with our family in them will be here on Monday or sooner.
I had high hopes for Trevor . It's so sad about his aliments . Now he is not going to race .
Here's the pic.
This was not the only pic. I can't find the others.

Though heavy lifting is often associated with the cause of hernias, it is not the true cause. Hernias are defects in a special tissue layer in the abdominal cavity. They tend to occur more frequently in certain parts of the body, such as the umbilicus (AKA "belly button") and the groin.
If you're concerned that you have a hernia, don't hesitate to contact Dr. Kamrava, a board-certified surgeon with extensive training in minimally invasive surgery. Call today to schedule an appointment.
Put simply, a hernia is a defect in the layer of tissue called "fascia". There are many causes for hernias, some are there from birth, others develop after an injury. Anyone can get a hernia, but some are more prone to the condition than others. Frequent heavy lifting, pregnancy, obesity, and prior surgeries put people at higher risk for hernias.
Inguinal: You'll notice this type of hernia in the space where your thigh meets your groin.
Femoral: Occurring more frequently in women, a femoral hernia can affect the upper thigh.
Umbilical: Bulging or discomfort around the belly button may be a sign of an umbilical hernia.
Hiatial: Hiatial hernias occur inside the body where the esophagus meets the stomach. Symptoms may include indigestion, heartburn, or chest pain.
The most prominent hernia symptom is a lump or bulge underneath the skin. The protrusion may or may not come with pain. Bulges are usually found near the groin or belly button, but in men they can also occur in the scrotum. Surgery is typically required to effectively treat the condition.
When you experience hernia symptoms, you may not know the best way to proceed. It's often difficult to determine on your own whether or not you need professional medical care. To help you gain more information about the hernia surgery you may need, here are answers to frequently asked questions about hernias. Please contact Dr. Kamrava at 424.279.8222 if you have additional questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
Q: Are there different types of hernia?
A: Different types of hernias occur depending on their location. They usually occur in the mid-section of the body. Inguinal hernias account for the common "groin" hernias, but other common hernias are umbilical, epigastric, incisional, and femoral.
Q: What are common hernia symptoms?
A: Hernia symptoms vary in severity and are best diagnosed by a doctor. A common sign of a hernia that requires medical attention is a lump or bulge in the groin area or near the belly button, which may or may not be accompanied with pain.
Q: Can you prevent hernias?
A: Obesity increases the risk of developing a hernia, as it causes stretch to the abdominal wall. If there is a tiny defect, the stretching of the abdominal wall will cause the defect to enlargen, thus increasing the risk of hernia formation. Though heavy lifting has been linked with hernia formation, are current understanding is that heavy lifting only makes a hernia symptomatic, rather than actually causing it to form.
Q: What is the best hernia treatment?
A: After you've been diagnosed with a hernia, your doctor will determine the best treatment for your individual case. In order to successfully heal the condition, most hernias require surgical intervention.
Q: Does hernia surgery require hospitalization?
A: Hernia surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, so you'll be able to return home the same day as the procedure. The surgery takes about an hour and afterwards patients are monitored for a few hours.
Are you suffering from the symptoms of a hernia? Don't wait. Contact Dr. Kamrava today.

Personality Disorders in Employment Litigation
Psychiatric TimesPsychiatric Times Vol 19 No 4
Psychiatrists can help employers better understand the effects of personality disorders on employment litigation. This article looks at some of the consequences that personality disorders may have on employees' work conduct and the role of these disorders in settling employment legal claims.
The traditional role of the mental health expert in a civil lawsuit alleging emotional injury has been to determine whether such an injury occurred and, if so, what was the cause. In recent years, however, some courts have allowed mental health experts to play an expanded role in employment discrimination and harassment lawsuits. Specifically, these courts have become increasingly willing to consider whether the plaintiff's own prior psychopathology contributed to the genesis of the workplace dispute being litigated. In other words, the plaintiff's psychological problems may have caused the workplace dispute in question, instead of vice versa. These prior problems typically take the form of a personality disorder.
Personality Disorders in the Workplace
Personality disorders often cause conflicts between a plaintiff and their co-workers that lead to claims of victimization by the plaintiff. In this sense, a plaintiff suffering from a personality disorder may not merely be the innocent victim of another's unprovoked wrongdoing. Such a plaintiff's own irritability, perfectionism, manipulation of others or sexually suggestive behavior is often the beginning of a chain of events that ultimately leads to a claim of wrongful termination, harassment or discrimination.
For example, an employee with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may direct sexually suggestive comments or even blatantly seductive conduct toward a supervisor and then angrily accuse the supervisor of sexual harassment should they respond. People with BPD tend to view others (particularly those in positions of authority) in extreme terms as either all good or all bad. Such an employee may idolize their supervisor until their work performance is criticized and then react with rage and accuse their supervisor of misconduct.
In Ramirez v Kelly (1997), the plaintiff and the defendant (who was above the plaintiff in the chain of command) had an ongoing sexual relationship. After the plaintiff found out that the defendant was married, she sued him for sexual harassment, claiming that she was raped and coerced to carry on the sexual relationship. She was diagnosed by the defense psychiatric expert as having BPD. The Table shows how other personality disorders may manifest in the workplace.
Personality disorders are often relevant to a plaintiff's perception of the events that precede litigation. Individuals with personality disorders often interpret events in a distorted fashion. This frequently accounts for the diametrically opposite characterization of the very same event by plaintiff and defendant in so many employment lawsuits, particularly in he said/she said cases where there are no third-party witnesses to help break the credibility impasse.
Employees with personality disorders tend to have relatively good contact with reality. Thus, their accusations of co-worker misconduct, although false, are not obviously bizarre and may sound quite plausible. Often, to the person with BPD, "believing is seeing."
For example, if an employee with BPD presumes that a colleague is thinking in sexual terms, a variety of behaviors can be construed as sexual in nature -- choice of clothing, a smile, an inadvertent touch, a compliment, standing close by, an invitation to lunch, glances or references to other relationships. Similarly, if the employee assumes that others are discriminating against them, this assumption becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy -- discrimination is perceived to be lurking around every corner. Inattention, inadvertent slights, nonspecific discourtesy, lack of personal concern, random acts of preference and other ordinary events may be construed as evidence of discrimination.
Recognition of Personality Disorders by Courts
The courts have begun to recognize the important role that personality disorders play in the genesis of disputes involving alleged workplace harassment and discrimination. In the racial harassment case Lowe v Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc. (1984), the court admitted the testimony of a psychiatrist to show that, because of a personality disorder, the plaintiff was oversensitive to ordinary criticism and perceived it as harassment. The plaintiff had attempted to exclude testimony of defense psychiatrists concerning her personality disorder.
In refusing to block the testimony, the court observed that it was relevant to "whether the alleged harassment claimed by plaintiff is racial and is harassment at all." The court noted that one defense psychiatrist had testified that the plaintiff was overly sensitive and may have overreacted to events on the job. As the Lowe court explained (pp125-26):
Testimony concerning a...plaintiff's mental disorder which causes him or her to perceive criticism as harassment, and to perceive racial slurs where no racial motivation is present, is highly relevant to the question whether plaintiff's perception of racial harassment is correct.
A personality disorder was found to be at the root of a sexual harassment claim in Spencer v General Electric Co. (1988). Although the court in that case found a hostile working environment to exist based upon sexual joking and horseplay on the part of the plaintiff's supervisor and co-workers, it rejected the plaintiff's allegations of more serious misconduct, including "more than 100 sexual assaults" by her supervisor, none of which were corroborated by other witnesses. The plaintiff attempted to explain the numerous inconsistencies in her story via testimony from her psychiatrist that the harassing events caused her to develop a posttraumatic stress disorder that impaired her ability to recall details. The court rejected this notion and instead credited the defense psychiatrist's testimony that the plaintiff suffered from histrionic personality disorder (HPD) and that her memory problems resulted from convenient selectivity rather than emotional trauma.
In Sudtelgte v Reno (1994), the court admitted psychiatric testimony in a sexual harassment lawsuit concerning the fact that the plaintiff suffered from paranoid personality disorder (PPD) that adversely affected her ability to get along with supervisors and co-workers and caused her to feel persistently "picked on." The Sudtelgte court held that although the plaintiff may have felt subjectively harassed, it was the result of her abnormal sensitivity caused by her personality disorder, and she could not show that a "reasonable woman" would have been similarly offended. The Sudtelgte court also noted the impact of the plaintiff's personality disorder on her credibility, observing that the plaintiff's "current perceptions of present and past events are grossly unreliable, probably because of her mental illness."
The most recent and dramatic recognition by a court of the role of personality disorders in the genesis of harassment and discrimination claims occurred in Pascouau v Martin Marietta Corporation (1998). In this case, the plaintiff claimed that co-workers called her names and passed gas in her presence. The court concluded, "The conduct that could be described as harassment was not based on gender, but rather on Plaintiff's demonstrated lack of interpersonal skills."
In its discussion of the facts of the case, the court described at some length the plaintiff's pre-existing psychological problems, many of which arose from her dysfunctional childhood. One of the plaintiff's pre-existing conditions was mixed personality disorder with borderline and narcissistic characteristics. The Pascouau court explained its relevance:
The personality disorder is a condition, largely the product of being raised in a dysfunctional home with dysfunctional parents, in which Plaintiff did not learn how to solve problems effectively or to communicate effectively with other people. The disorder leads to the formulation of implausible perceptions and thus different kinds of conclusions about what other people's actions and behavior mean as distinguished from what a reasonable person not subject to such a disorder would perceive them to mean.
Consistent with this disorder, Plaintiff makes judgments that are highly personalized and overly emotional. She sees things in black and white terms rather than shades of gray that permit allowances and generally feels whatever goes wrong is someone else's fault and she had no role in the misadventure. Persons with this disorder take no responsibility for what goes wrong in their lives.
The court credited the testimony of the defense psychiatrist, Dr. Plazak, noting:
When asked if Plaintiff's allegations had any role in the causes of Plaintiff's disorders, Dr. Plazak replied that the situation is reversed in that the disorders are causes of the allegations. The incidents Plaintiff related were characterized by misinterpretations of events and interactions with fellow employees that were far more intense than would be interpreted by a reasonable person.
The court rejected the view of the plaintiff's psychiatrist that all of the plaintiff's emotional difficulties were the result of her experiences in the workplace, noting, "His conclusion dismisses the profuse psychiatric history of the Plaintiff which accounts for the symptoms she had displayed all her life and continued to display even at the time of trial."
Detecting Personality Disorders
Because of its potential importance in an employment lawsuit, a forensic psychiatrist should be especially alert for signs of Axis II pathology. Since the actual mental examination is relatively short and the plaintiff may not be completely forthcoming about all aspects of their life, it is essential that the psychiatrist also review a variety of records which might reveal evidence of Axis II pathology. These include:
records of the plaintiff's treating physician(s) and psychotherapist(s) (including patient questionnaires, billing records and psychological testing materials);records of any prior hospitalizations;records of any prior mental health treatment;records of the plaintiff's primary care physician(s);personnel files from the plaintiff's prior employers;high school and college transcripts and disciplinary records;
court files from prior divorce and child-custody cases; and
any prior criminal records.
The psychiatrist should also obtain and review transcripts of the depositions of the plaintiff and key defense witnesses prior to conducting the mental examination, in order to place the plaintiff's account into context.
The psychiatrist also should insist upon having sufficient time and latitude to thoroughly explore the plaintiff's background. Sometimes a plaintiff's attorney will attempt to limit the examination to an hour or two or to restrict the examiner's areas of inquiry to the plaintiff's psychological reaction to the events at issue in the lawsuit. This is unacceptable, as it will make the exploration of possible Axis II issues virtually impossible. The psychiatrist should be prepared to give an affidavit to the court explaining why these restrictions are unworkable.
Presentation of Axis II Findings
While an Axis II diagnosis might serve to exculpate the employer in some cases, such a result does not necessarily follow in every employment lawsuit. The specific role played by Axis II pathology should be presented carefully by the psychiatrist in the formulation of the case in deposition or trial testimony. The following are examples of such scenarios.
Plaintiff has a personality disorder that caused them to instigate events of which they now complain. If an employee with BPD or HPD engages in seductive banter or conduct and then complains of sexual harassment when co-workers respond, the personality disorder would be relevant to the defendant's liability, since a plaintiff who welcomes harassing conduct cannot later complain about it.
Plaintiff has a personality disorder that caused them to misinterpret words or actions of co-workers. An employee with BPD may interpret a supervisor's compliment or friendliness as a sexual overture. An employee with PPD may interpret co-workers' inadvertent failure to invite them to lunch as racially discriminatory. In these instances, the allegations of discrimination are a product of the plaintiff's personality disorder, rather than external reality.
Plaintiff has a personality disorder that produced symptoms of emotional distress. An employee with BPD, narcissistic personality disorder or dependent personality disorder (DPD) may suffer great distress as a result of rejection by a significant other outside of work. The reaction may be extreme, including suicidal gestures or requiring psychotropic medication. This would be relevant to damages, as it would provide an alternative explanation (besides the workplace event in question) for the plaintiff's objectively verifiable emotional distress.
Plaintiff has a personality disorder but was nonetheless the subject of unlawful conduct. Sometimes, even though the plaintiff has a personality disorder, they may still be the subject of unlawful treatment and suffer emotional distress unrelated to the personality disorder as a result.
Plaintiff has a personality disorder that exacerbates the emotional distress suffered as the result of illegal conduct. This is an example of an application to Axis II disorders of the "eggshell skull" principle, which holds that a defendant is liable for the extra damage that an especially vulnerable plaintiff suffers. An employee with DPD may become inordinately attached to a supervisor and then be devastated by an unlawful termination, or an employee with BPD may be sexually exploited by an unscrupulous supervisor and then attempt suicide, requiring hospitalization, following the breakup of the affair. The employer would be liable for this additional damage suffered on account of the plaintiff's heightened susceptibility to harm.

My ultimate goal is to create a scheduled event that will update woocommerce orders to 'complete' 2 days after they are created.
But am not quite sure how to check its success haha. I tried using wp_get_schedule( 'change_woo_order_status_hook' ); in a page template but there was no output. I created another event with the time set to 5 minutes, and am waiting, but not sure if that is too little time.
What I tend to do with debugging these things is to do a wp_mail to myself with some state data.
Don't forget that the wp crons needs some activity on the site to trigger them, so you could be sitting waiting on a dev site for a long time!
Hmm, the function is still not firing correctly, it seems the plugin is also saying there are no arguments in the cron job..

Transgender Lab Research Team Addresses HIV Prevention
A public health researcher's work could help reduce health disparities and expand transgender women's access to a lifesaving drug.
By Peggy Pico
Story Keywords: Sciences, Faculty, California, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, News, Public Health
This article first appeared in the 2020-21 SDSU Research Highlights, published in December 2021.
In a vital effort to reduce health disparities and barriers in the transgender community, San Diego State University public health researcher Erik Storholm has established an innovative lab and research partnership with the Transgender Wellness Center (TWC) in Los Angeles.
Storholm, who leads a transgender and non-binary research lab at SDSU, aims to reduce cases of HIV among transgender women by increasing their use of HIV-prevention medicine.
Transgender women, especially Latinx and Black transgender women, urgently need more HIV-prevention and treatment services, according to a comprehensive 2021 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A survey for the report found 40% of transgender women surveyed in the U.S. have HIV, with significant racial disparities. Some 62% of Black respondents and 35% of Latina respondents had HIV, compared with 17% of white transgender women.
Almost all HIV infections in the U.S. can be averted with the once-a-day, low-cost HIV-prevention medicine Pre-exposure prophylaxis, known commonly as PrEP. Yet only about a third of transgender women take PrEP. Obstacles limiting its use include socioeconomic barriers, stigma, racism, inequities in employment and housing inequity.
Citing his research focused on HIV, barriers to treatment, abuse, and sexual health in the LGBTQ+ community, advocates in Los Angeles reached out to Storholm and asked him to develop a project to help increase the use of PrEP by underserved transgender and nonbinary women in Southern California.
The center selected Storholm due to a longstanding body of work on HIV, which included study of barriers to health for transgender women.
Located along Wilshire Boulevard in L.A.'s MacArthur Park neighborhood, the center came about through work and advocacy within the transgender community, Storholm said. "They asked me to collaborate on an intervention-based HIV prevention research project to address barriers," he said. "I am honored to be a part of this opportunity."
With funding from the California HIV/AIDS Research Program, the PrEP project will put scalable policies and partnerships in place to ensure low cost or free access to the medication. Storholm's research leverages intervention science and promotes the adoption of evidence-based practices and policies into health care settings.
"We have to ask what's going to be sustainable within the community. I think there is a movement towards implementation science and really studying the strategies of implementing interventions," Storholm said.

Robb in Austin had the most liked content!
I got nems for days. Will be in Austin Thurs afternoon, off Mopac/Steck.
Got a small one bagged up and ready to go if anyone is interested. Probably 1.5" across but decent sized body so will probably be closer to 2.5" once settled.
You may be right Tim.
As some know, I'm in healthcare. I recently noticed that there is a billing code for assault with sea anemone. No, really. T63.633 Toxic effect of contact with sea anemone, assault So, o0zarkawater, watch it bub!
Y'all need nems? I got nems for days. RBTA. Hit me up.
Well don't I feel special!
Where all my old school peeps at? Aside from those who have chimed in.
Any interest in a trade for a 215?

We love the sweet sentiment on this chart! The design features Santa's personal North Pole mailbox with an overflow mailbag nestled in the snow. The frame is a real treasure with a charming boy and his faithful spotted dog. We think Mrs. Claus will want to stitch this one!

Weekend dwellers across the East End are faced with the commuting dilemma of when to come and when to leave. Traffic across both forks becomes more congested than the heat outside, especially down those single lane roadways. For the Westward bound on Sundays, there's a perfect pit stop along the way.
Bethpage Polo at the Park located in Bethpage State Park, between the Long Island Expressway and Southern State Parkway, holds their weekly Sunday polo matches. Ideal for those in fancy hats and ball-caps alike, the polo grounds accommodate all types of people and groups. Lounge in the VIP tent with endless light bites, open bar, and live DJ, or pack a picnic to sit in the grandstands. The wide open field allows for guests to enjoy a beautiful view from all angles.
The polo grounds at Bethpage State Park date back to 1934, a long history unknown to many Long Islanders. What makes this location special is the family-friendly environment. Here, the "sport of kings" captivates the audience of its entire kingdom.
Polo at the Park CEO, Bob Ceparano, remains intricately connected to the polo community through numerous endeavors, including running Country Farms, a polo and equestrian center located in Medford. From the grass roots to the tip of the mallets, this is certainly a community with open arms.
The gates open at 2 PM, the match begins at 3 PM, with a typical playing time of two hours. In between each 7.5 minute chukkers (periods), spectators are encouraged to visit the trailers to meet the players and ponies. While the games are played weekly, weather permitting, there are some festive days on the calendar to look forward to with new ones potentially being added as the season goes on.
This Sunday, bring dear ol' dad for a new kind of Father's Day outing. On July 2, photographers will gather for Photography Day; July 9 is the Bridgehampton National Bank Cup; July 30 will have special vendors for Ladies Day, with the following week on August 6 (and September 3) dedicated toward Kids Day; August 13 is Artist Day; September 16 is the highly anticipated Harriman Cup, a match between University of Virginia and Yale University; September 17 is the Long Island Pulse private tent event; and closing day is October 8.
The high-energy sport of polo calls to an audience of all ages, to all locations. What better way to enjoy a Sunday than with an extreme sport, good company, and greenery? Make Bethpage Polo at the Park your new Sunday Funday.
