You've outdone yourself!
Muhammad would have embraced Jesus; I'm not so sure about reciprocation, though. Jesus had a thing about false prophets, and we could probably argue for a century about how he would have regarded Muhammad without achieving a firm conclusion.
But Newton and Byron? Newton was a bitterly obsessive, buggering alchemist. Byron was a serial adulterer who abandoned his daughter. Although I admit it would be absolutely fascinating to listen to Jesus and Byron get drunk and argue about Napoleon.
It is my opinion that liberalism changes more slowly. Liberal aspirations have yet to be realized; conservative ambitions look back to former conditions. And while their core philosophies remain fairly stable, the interpretations and manifestations of those perspectives evolve differently. Liberal notions of equality and justice, being abstract, can find much in common with their former expressions. You can find in Wollstonecroft, Beethoven, Byron, Shelly, and the aforementioned Luddites, at least, ideas that still have great sympathy in the twenty-first century. Their contemporary conservatives areat least in the United Stateslargely extinct. To the other, though, the Golden Ages to which conservatives aspire change at the very least with each generation. Very few "true conservatives" would admit to yearning for black slavery. Indeed, I doubt such sympathizers exist in any significant numbers.
Personally, I'm a conservative, although I highly prefer the term "traditionalist"; regardless, I would vote Democrat in America, given the opportunity, every single time (except in rare circumstances, such as Ron Paul). Why? It's because I think American conservatism is corrupt, and lies to itself far too often. I think American liberalism is docile and lacks grit, which is readily apparent when one observes their inaction following scandals such as the 2000 Bush election. It's difficult to succinctly explain the problem with American liberalism: most of the time, the critical damage is dealt by and to themselves. The Obama/Clinton war indisputably divided the Democratic voters; the choice of Biden over Clinton simply added fuel to the fire, renewing the distilled rivalry. The Republicans are clever, and seem to be well-trained in the art of ass-kissing. What I mean is, they recuperate well from a loss, and "unite" quickly. Here's a concrete example: I remember watching McCain and Romney attack each other like a pair of rabid wolves on television, hearing both discredit the other's credentials. Lo and behold, we have Romney on television a month or two later, proclaiming McCain's greatness, and campaigning on his behalf. Seriously ...
Sex and drugs? Conservatives have been as intrusive as liberals, and for reasons I consider more sinister. While a liberal might foolishly believe that a war on drugs will benefit society in general, conservatives are motivated by the greed of commerce.
Killing two birds with one stone.
The strange union of sociomoral and economic conservatives is a tremendous example of the effects of compromise in its more profane context. How is it that American Christians came to so vigorously oppose a philosophy (Communism) that took up a motto from the Acts of the Apostles? Indeed, our money reads, "In God We Trust," as a direct response to the perceived godlessness of Soviet Communism.
And, frankly, the moral intrusions into people's bedrooms are part of the undoing of the alleged libertarian streak among conservatives. While they vociferously oppose commercial regulation as invasive, conservatives have long and enthusiastically sought regulation of consenting sexual behavior.
The Fourth Amendment suffered greatly during the Drug War, and continues to endure a disgraceful siege during the so-called War on Terror.
I thought they was buggin',
'cause to us Uncle Sam, is Hitler without an oven.
Burning our black skin,
buy my neighbourhood - then push the crack in.
The War on Terror is similar. The purpose seems noble, but as Muhammad once said, "every action should be judged by the motive prompting it." These wars have been waged for resources, and they've enabled the ruling Republican administration to destroy individual liberties and privacy, without so much as a whimper in retaliation. I could write pages worth of information regarding the sham that is the War or Terror, but I'll have to elaborate another time.
The willpower issue is an interesting theory; don't let me stop you from expounding on it. And, certainly, an oligarchic economy is problematic. But a wholesale reconstruction of our monetary system that does not account for the $48 trillion in American debt will bring disaster. While there might be some romantic appeal about the notion of hard money, practical details present certain challenges.
Richard Lawrence was so ill that he was acquitted according to an insanity defense. The jury deliberated for all of five minutes before returning their verdict. Among his apparent claims were that he was an heir to the British throne, that Jackson had thwarted his attempt to claim the Crown, and that Jackson had murdered his father.
And while prior years might have suppressed the hard money angle of the Lincoln assassination, I confess that I'm struck by the relative dearth of discussion about this theory in the internet age.
That someone may have thought of shooting Ron Paul for whatever reason would not surprise me anymore than the idea that alleged meth-heads wanted to kill Barack Obama for being black.
I will note that privatization is a conservative plank. But while there is no question that the Federal Reserve is a mess, the question of its theorythat is, what it is supposed to dois now so integral to American function that a complete vacuum would cause tremendous harm.
∏ does not equal 3.0.
A Democrat will tell you he can make you richer, smarter, more handsome, and get the chickweed out of your lawn. A Republican will tell you what's wrong with government, get elected, and then prove it.
But back to education. The purpose of educational standards is one of equal opportunity. Consider two students with high school diplomas. One can spell, the other can't. The one can work the scientific method; the other refuses, on customary principle, the idea of a testable hypothesis. Which one will get into the better college? Which one will perform better? Which will get a better job? Whatever the federal government's role in education might be, it certainly is not to encourage such disparate results.
Harmonious balance? There is something to that. But for all the contentious debate about equal opportunity, students should have reasonable access to proper information and method. Otherwise, they find themselves at a gross disadvantage.
Well, maybe in terms of banging interns, or whatever. But he had no compunctions about lending his name and credibility to racists until it became politically problematic.
(1) I'm liberal to the point of being leftist, although I tend to disagree with many of my fellows. I have both Marxist and Anarchist sympathies, and find myself well to the left of the Democratic Party. In voting for Obama, for instance, I will be making a substantial concession to the right wing. It's important enough this year. If Gore hadn't won my state in 2000, I would have felt very badly about voting third-party.
(2) Actually, I seem to have missed Griffin's book. The reviews I just read on Amazon, suggest an interesting book. The book exists in my local library system; but is currently on hold. I'll add myself to the list and give it a look. Thanks.
won'tshouldn't regret it.

On Tape, Clinton Admits Passing Up bin Laden Capture; Lewinsky Played Role
Bill Clinton denies it now, but he once admitted he passed up an opportunity to extradite Osama bin Laden.
And NewsMax has the former President making the claim on audiotape. [You can listen to the tape yourself] -- Click Here
During a February 2002 speech, Clinton explained that he turned down an offer from Sudan for bin Laden's extradition to the U.S., saying, "At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him."
But that wasn't exactly true. By 1996, the 9/11 mastermind had already been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing by prosecutors in New York.
Clinton's comments and his actions relating to American efforts to capture bin Laden have taken on renewed interest because of claims made in a new ABC movie, the "Path to 9/11," that suggests Clinton dropped the ball during his presidency. Clinton has also angrily denied claims the Monica Lewinsky scandal drew his attention away from dealing with national security matters like capturing bin Laden.
But that wasn't exactly true. By 1996, the 9/11 mastermind had already been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing by prosecutors in New York.
No Mr spock your not.
however as much as i dislike it there isnt a thing i can do about it, aparently the fredom to hold up a mass murder as a hero is what is concidered free speach here
think i should change my avatar to ted bundy, i mean he only killed yanks after all
Martin Bryant, as well.
There is no freedom from being annoyed or offended. If there were, then there would be no freedom.

Agreed, the avatar is offensive. But if Kardack wants to display the quality of his character for all to see it is his right.
As for Clinton and Osama Bin Laden, the following is taken from a right wing whacko news service. It is Clinton himself explaining why when Sudan offered him Bin Laden he refused...he had no legal right to hold him. Now I understand that right wing whackos are more than willing to surrender their civil rights to the state. But I am not...I like the right of Heabus Corpus. We are supposed to be a nation of laws, and we were untill the Republicans came to power.
By 1996, the 9/11 mastermind ( READ Osama Bin Laden) had already been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing by prosecutors in New York.
in 1995 Osama bin
Laden had already been named by the U.S. government as a wanted
co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing:
In 1996, the Sudan government offered to arrest
Osama bin Laden and place him in U.S. custody but then-President
Clinton refused the offer, despite the fact that in 1995 Osama bin
Laden had already been named by the U.S. government as a wanted
co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing:
"U.S. Was Foiled Multiple Times in Efforts To Capture Bin Laden or
Have Him Killed--Sudan's Offer to Arrest Militant Fell Through After
Saudis Said No," Barton Gellman, Washington Post, October 3, 2001;
Page A01
I looked at your url and there was nothing there. The first attack on the Trade Tower occured in 2003. Bin Laden was offered up by Sudan in 2006. Was there an arrest warrant issued for Bin Laden by the United States in this period? I can find no record of such a warrant and arrest without an arrest warrant violates a small thing called the consitution. So before you go telling everyone that Clinton passed up an opportunity to nail Bin Laden, you need to show that the United States government had enough evidence to tie Bin Laden to the attack or other crimes against the United States and that there were grounds for an arrest warrant and prosecution.
Members of the Clinton administration have clearly said on numerous occasions that was not the case.

It seems you have a missunderstanding how the American financial system works, or for that modern world markets. "Debt" doesn't mean anything if your commodity you're trading is securities. America has notoriously been the location to purchase monetary securities, it's a good hedge because generally (not recently) America is the most secure location. It has very little fluctuation, and it has sustainable returns. Peoples investments in American securities inherently give the dollar value in other nations (Depending on how other countries are investing). The debt really doesn't mean anything as to the value of the country, the entire world KNOWS that if the 'debt' was ever called in the entire world market would collapse. Since this debt is held by only a few people (Namely a couple Monetary handlers associated with Israel, Great Britain and Saudi Arabia), it's unlikely this will ever happen. The current goal of many of the Arabic countries is to seize the power of the banking debts by acquiring them, while they can legally afford them there's no requirement for them to be sold. Since the holders wield the power of the world markets it's unlikely it would be of any benefit to call the debts. Thus the debts mean nothing, unless Arab nations get them. In which case they will potentially use them as a tool of warfare in their Jihad. This was the ROOT of the controversy surrounding Dubai wanting to purchase American ports.
Clearly whatever the Republicans have brought to the US, it was not enough
McCain '08!

In 1995 Osama bin
Laden had already been named by the U.S. government as a wanted
co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing:
Why did Clinton treat the attack as a law-enforcement matter? Several reasons. In the first few days, Clinton refused to believe that the towers had been bombed at all — even though the FBI made that determination within hours. He speculated a electrical transformer had exploded or a bank heist went bad.
More importantly, treating the bombing as a criminal matter was politically advantageous. A criminal matter is a relatively tidy process. It has the political benefit of insulating Clinton from consequences; after all, he was only following the law. He is not to blame if the terrorists were released on a "technicality" or if foreign nations refuse to honor our extradition requests. Oh well, he tried.
By contrast, if Clinton treated the bombing as the act of terrorism that it was, he would be assuming personal responsibility for a series of politically risky moves. Should he deploy the CIA or special forces to hunt down the perpetrators? What happens if the agents or soldiers die? What if they try to capture the terrorists and fail? One misstep and the media, Congress, and even the public might blame the president. So Clinton took the easy, safe way out, and called it a crime.
Lopez: Bill Clinton was actually offered bin Laden? Could you set the scene a little and clue us in on why, for heavens sakes, he would not take advantage of such opportunities?
Miniter: On March 3, 1996, U.S. ambassador to Sudan, Tim Carney, Director of East African Affairs at the State Department, David Shinn, and a member of the CIA's directorate of operations' Africa division met with Sudan's then-Minister of State for Defense Elfatih Erwa in a Rosslyn, Virginia hotel room. Item number two on the CIA's list of demands was to provide information about Osama bin Laden. Five days later, Erwa met with the CIA officer and offered more than information. He offered to arrest and turn over bin Laden himself. Two years earlier, the Sudan had turned over the infamous terrorist, Carlos the Jackal to the French. He now sits in a French prison. Sudan wanted to repeat that scenario with bin Laden in the starring role.
Clinton administration officials have offered various explanations for not taking the Sudanese offer. One argument is that an offer was never made. But the same officials are on the record as saying the offer was "not serious." Even a supposedly non-serious offer is an offer. Another argument is that the Sudanese had not come through on a prior request so this offer could not be trusted. But, as Ambassador Tim Carney had argued at the time, even if you believe that, why not call their bluff and ask for bin Laden?
The Clinton administration simply did not want the responsibility of taking Osama bin Laden into custody. Former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger is on the record as saying: "The FBI did not believe we had enough evidence to indict bin Laden at that time and therefore opposed bringing him to the United States." Even if that was true — and it wasn't — the U.S. could have turned bin Laden over to Yemen or Libya, both of which had valid warrants for his arrest stemming from terrorist activities in those countries.
WASHINGTON - The economy shifted to a higher gear in the spring, growing at its fastest pace in nearly a year as foreign buyers snapped up U.S. exports and tax rebates spurred shoppers at home.
The Commerce Department reported Thursday that gross domestic product, or GDP, increased at a 3.3 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. The revised reading was much better than the governments initial estimate of a 1.9 percent pace and exceeded economists expectations for a 2.7 percent growth rate.
The rebound comes after two dismal quarters. The economy actually shrank in the final three months of 2007 and limped into the first quarter at a feeble 0.9 percent pace. The 3.3 percent growth in the spring was the best performance since the third quarter of last year, when the economy was chugging along at a brisk 4.8 percent pace
"Debt" doesn't mean anything if your commodity you're trading is securities"
On what planet to you live? Why should we even bother paying back debt if it does not matter? There has long been a demand for the dollar and the dollar has function as the international reserve currency. But that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. The interest on the debt has to be paid. That occurs through one of two ways, increased taxes or printing more money. It is an expense...period. Printing money is inflationary, taxing is deflationary. So how can you say, it does not matter?
Get your head our of your rectum. And because the dollar has historically been the reserve currency, it does not mean it will always be the reserve currency. Reserve currency status came with the conclusion of WW II when the United States was the only major industrial power left intact. That is no longer the case. Most notably, the biggest competitor to the dollar is the Euro. When the Euro was first issued, it traded for something less than a dollar...today it trades in excess of 1.50 dollars per Euro. The dollar has falled in value for a number of reasons. But essentially means just one thing, international investors have less demand for the dollar today than they did a year ago or even a few months ago.
Israel is a chief beneficiary of American government largess. If you are from Israel don't lie to Americans. And you are not entitled to bring our country down in order to support your poltical and religious ambitions. The economic problems currently faced by the United States have nothing to do with the Middle East other than it is huge source of American expenditures. And that has to stop!

Your character in Zombieland is looking for the world's last Twinkies. As a vegan and a raw-food advocate, when's the last time you ate one?
It's been at least 20 years. I used to eat burgers and steak, and I would just be knocked out afterward; I had to give it up. The first thing was actually dairy. I was about 24 years old, and I had tons of acne and mucus. I met some random girl on a bus who told me to quit dairy and all those symptoms would go away three days later. By God, she was right.
People might look at your diet and your Buddhism and your weed and think you're some weird dude activist.
A lot of people look at me as just being strange, but I've always looked at society as strange. On the other hand, I like cleanliness, yet I'm a total slob. I'm like half Felix and half Oscar.
Any other weaknesses?
A lot of times I have destructive self-doubt. When I'm writing, I get so strangled by my own criticisms. I have a play and two screenplays, all exactly three-quarters written. I mean, I'm a hard worker and I'm responsible, but I'm also a world-class slacker.
You're one of very few actors who have made movies with both the Coen brothers (No Country for Old Men) and the Farrelly brothers (Kingpin). How do they compare?
Both sets of brothers are geniuses in their own way. And they can finish each other's sentences. With the Farrellys…I'm one of those guys with a lot of ideas. Not all of them are great, but they'd always say, "Let's try it." The Coens were pretty locked in with the script. But I love those guys.
Outside of Hollywood, is there anyone you'd be especially excited to meet these days?
Arundhati Roy [author of The God of Small Things]. I was talking with an Indian actor at Sundance, and I asked him if he'd ever met her.
Because India's a small country, and everybody knows each other.
Yeah, it was random, but unless you can bring Gandhi back from the ¿dead, she's the one Indian I would most love to meet. And this guy says, "She's a good friend of mine!" A few minutes later he hands me a cell phone. And I never talk on cell phones, but I thought, Well, I'll talk to her.
Why don't you talk on cell phones? Are you worried about microwaves?
The first time I used one I could just feel it. Within a few minutes my brain felt like it needed to explode.
Isn't your character in next month's 2012 a conspiracy theorist?
I play Charlie Frost, this kind of a talk radio guy who goes on about how the world is gonna end. I sound like a wacko at first, but then it turns out my character knows more than everyone else. It was a lot of fun.
So after 20 years and three daughters with Laura Louie, why did you finally tie the knot?
You know, some people are stubborn and can't see the light, just clinging to their hedonism and their single lifestyle. But I finally convinced her.
Now that your oldest daughter is 16, do you find yourself becoming a stereotypical overprotective dad?
One time I was visiting Lenny Kravitz, and he was talking to his daughter Zoë—at the time she was 14. She had a really revealing outfit on. She was at the top of the stairs, and he was at ¿the bottom: "You're not going any-where like that." "Oh, yes, I am." "Oh, no, you're not." To see this whole discourse with this guy who has done it all—it just made me laugh. Little did ¿I know the clock was ticking for me.
What were you like at their age? Were you a jock in high school?
I don't know, maybe equal parts jock and dork. You know? I was a jork.
Did Cheers make it easier to get girls?
I was never really great at talking to girls. I felt pretty shy. I still do. Last night at dinner this beautiful waitress came up, and I couldn't talk at all. So I can't credit myself with being some suave guy. But it's amazing what a high TVQ rating will do for you.
Did you make any outrageous purchases once you became a star?
Actually, right around the time I began doing Cheers, I bought this used Porsche, the same one Tom Cruise had in Risky Business. On the first night, some guy pulled a gun and tried to carjack me. I was so scared I dropped the keys, and this guy's got a gun pointed at me, counting to five. He got to four, and I'm like "I can't find 'em!" Finally he just ran off.
Do you still find yourself getting caught up in superficial stuff?
No, these days I drive a dirty white VW Bug. In terms of other things, sure. I wish I was better looking, I wish I had more hair, I wish I had been in Mensa. I always just felt like a bum who ended up coming into some money. But in terms of my mentality, I just really like being irresponsible.

Knights Win Big Over Hilltoppers
On Monday evening, the Hilltoppers of Ohio University - Chillicothe came to Kentucky Christian University to take on the Knights. KCU was ready, and played well from the start, and took down the 'Toppers in a big way.
The Knights gave up the first basket to OU-C, but then they went on a scoring tear, with Tyler Farley hitting 2 treys and another bucket in the next few minutes to push ahead. Ace Puckett dropped in an inside two to put the Knights up at 10-7. The Hilltoppers then made a couple of baskets, and got a few stops, and took a small lead, only to have KCU's Dylan Genung take over the scoring for a couple of plays, then Caleb Ford dropped a couple of baskets. Throughout the rest of the half, KCU played the best defense and most productive offense that they have all season. They scored lots of points, had many assists, and played as selflessly as any team could hope to. The were ahead by 39 points at the break, 65-26, and every player was contributing on the floor. In the first half the Knights shot .743 from the floor, .769 from the arc, but only .33 from the line. They finished the game not quite as hot as that, but with very strong team statistics, shooting .597 and .448 from three point land. They were able to shoot 1.000 from the foul line in the second half, but the 2 of 2 only brought up the average to .455. The Knights had 31 assists on the evening, had 2 blocks, and 10 steals. They out-rebounded their opponent 41-30.
Caleb Ford had 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists; Tyler Farley dropped in 21, with 4 boards and 4 assists; Ros Goodwin had 12 off the bench, Dylan Genung and Adam Hopkins each had 11 points, while Genung added 3 assists. Boyce Wooten had 10 points, 9 boards, and 3 assists in only 14 minutes on the court. James Chafins had 6 points and 4 rebounds. Trevor Hunt had 5 points, and Ace Puckett had 3, but they accounted for 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals between them. Tyler Carrier had a strong performance with 9 assists and 2 rebounds, and only 2 turnovers on the night. They held OU-Chillicothe to .397 from the floor, and .263 from the three-point arc.
On Tuesday, 2-11, both the Knights and the Lady Knights travel to northern West Virginia to take on WVU-Parkersburg. The women play at 6, and the men are at 8 PM.

Roommate Bet
So about a month ago, 2 of my roommates and I decided that we were still holding on to our freshman 15 or maybe a little more. lol. Actually more for all of us. We started a bet that we would all try to get back to our pre-university weights. For me that was about 15 pounds ago, but I had gained 5 pound in grade 12, so I made it my goal to lose 20. All of my friends are about the same, and we all want to lose it by the last week of February 2012. As a health sciences student I have no respect for crazy dieting, besides I really want to keep it off so I had vowed to cut down to about 1300 cals a day. This month didn't go very well…. and I may even have gained weight. One of my friends is down 16 though but he has to lose 30. My other friend is probably in the same boat as me though, her and I both eat when stressed probably explaining the original university weight gain. So maybe I will not lose 20 but I need to stick to my original plan! I feel like writing it down and telling anyone will make me feel more committed. Whats on the line? While pride more then anything, since these are my best friends we get pretty competitive about these kind of things. And obviously MONEY. And being healthy again. Here I go again. Day 1.

The first of hopefully many new trailers hit the fan and here it is, provided by the a site to be named later
I'm really looking forward to this one, having been a fan of both games. I think Mark Wahlberg was perfect for the role of Max. Looks like it's going to be really intense. Can't wait for more trailers as we get closer.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. mycroft16 on Twitter
that actually dosen't look half bad
I think this movie will be good. The games had a solid storyline to them. I also agree that Mark is the perfect man to play Max Payne
I'm back MiceChat
What's with the flying demon(?) angel(?) things. I don't remember that from the game.

All of Reed's challenges lack merit. Moreover, because his appeals are frivolous, we award Catherina Brown attorney fees on appeal pursuant to RAP 18.9(a). Brown's cross appeal challenges the trial court's decisions denying modification of a child support order and her attorney fees request. Because the trial court did not enter a final child support order, we cannot review Brown's alleged error. We remand for entry of a final child support order. In addition, we hold that the trial court did not err in denying Brown's request for attorney fees below and we deny her attorney fees request related to her cross appeal. FACTS Reed and Brown began dating in February 2005. Around July 2006, the couple conceived a child. Reed obtained health insurance coverage for Brown and provided her with significant financial support during her pregnancy. On February 14, 2007, Brown gave birth to a girl, T.H.B.2 After T.H.B.'s premature birth, Reed and Brown's relationship effectively ended. Reed continued to provide Brown with financial support, such as paying her mortgage and noncourtordered child support. Brown agreed that Reed could see T.H.B. several times a week. In early August 2007, Brown told Reed that she intended to move to Chicago and relocate T.H.B. because of a job offer. On August 10, 2007, in King County Superior Court, Reed objected to Brown's 1 Reed also goes by the name "Mike Reed." Clerk's Papers (CP) at 424. 2 T.H.B.'s birth certificate listed her last name as "Brown" and did not identify her father. 2 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II relocation of T.H.B. Eventually, the parties agreed to transfer Reed's case to Pierce County, where Brown and T.H.B. lived. Before transferring the case, King County Superior Court entered a temporary order identifying Brown's home as T.H.B.'s primary residence and establishing a visitation schedule for Reed. This order was to remain in effect until proceedings occurred in Pierce County. On October 10, the King County Superior Court completed the transfer of Reed's case to Pierce County. Meanwhile, on August 14, in Pierce County Superior Court, Brown obtained a temporary domestic violence protection order (TPO) preventing Reed from having contact with her and T.H.B. Brown cited recent in-person and telephone interactions as grounds for the TPO, alleged past instances of physical abuse against her, and raised safety concerns for T.H.B. related to Reed's parenting decisions, such as taking a five-month-old child canoeing without a life jacket. On September 26, Pierce County Commissioner Marshall granted a one-year TPO, but provided that Reed could visit with T.H.B. in accord with the visitation schedule entered by King County Superior Court until a Pierce County family court ruled in Reed's case. On October 23, Reed proposed a temporary parenting plan. Reed's proposed plan included two weeknight visitations, residential time every other weekend, and designated Brown as the primary residential and custodial parent. In family court, on November 1, Pierce County Commissioner Foley entered a temporary order that included (1) mutual restraining orders, (2) a temporary child support order that Reed 3 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II pay Brown $730 a month, (3) a temporary residential schedule/parenting plan,3 (4) a prohibition on T.H.B. being removed from the State by either parent, and (5) a requirement that Brown file a paternity affidavit within seven days. On December 4, the family court appointed Kelly LeBlanc as T.H.B.'s guardian ad litem (GAL). On May 21, 2008, Reed proposed another temporary residential schedule that minimally differed from his previous proposal. Reed also asked the family court to hold Brown in contempt for not complying with the November 1, 2007 temporary parenting plan terms, not filing the paternity affidavit, and not submitting to an evaluation with the GAL. The family court modified the temporary residential schedule giving Reed more visitation time, but reserved judgment on Reed's contempt motion. Brown responded to Reed's contempt allegations with her own allegations of Reed's lack of cooperation with the temporary parenting plan and paternity affidavit process. On July 29, the family court made minor revisions to Reed's visitation schedule. This order also included additional instructions on the filing of a paternity affidavit. The family court also amended the November 1, 2007 restraining orders to allow Brown and Reed to have contact at settlement conference proceedings. A three-day settlement conference in September 2008 did not succeed in settling the matter. On September 25, 2008, Brown requested a renewal of the TPO in her domestic violence case. The superior court extended Brown's TPO through October 10, 2009. On October 10, October 15, and November 5, 2008, Reed again proposed modifications 3 Commissioner Foley's temporary order incorporates by reference a temporary residential schedule/parenting plan that is not in our record. 4 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II to the visitation schedule and asked the family court to hold Brown in contempt for violating court orders and failing to comply with discovery requests. Reed sought overnight time with T.H.B. every weekend. He provided the family court with a home study report and a parenting program certificate of completion. On November 19, the family court again made minor revisions to Reed's visitation schedule and ordered the GAL to provide more information about possible overnight residential time for T.H.B. with Reed. The family court reserved judgment on Reed's requests for discovery sanctions. On December 2, 2008, the family law case proceeded to trial in Pierce County Superior Court before Judge Armijo. Reed testified about his relationship with T.H.B. and providing her care. Reed also testified that the GAL inspected his home for safety concerns and the only change she encouraged was the addition of a fence between his house and a lake. Reed stated that he planned to install a fence when the weather got better. Reed described his relationship with Brown as a typical one with disagreements over things like laundry, errand running, and arriving to social events late. Reed called family and a prior girlfriend as character witnesses. These witnesses testified about Reed's excellent parenting skills and his tendency to react to anger by becoming "withdrawn[ and] just kind of get[ting] quiet." Report of Proceedings (RP) (Dec. 2, 2008) at 55. Brown testified and alleged a pattern of Reed's domestic abuse and violence. Brown blamed Reed's relocation petition for her lost employment opportunity when she could not move. Brown testified that her main concern for T.H.B. was overnight visitations with Reed because of safety concerns. 5 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II On December 8, 2008, Judge Armijo ruled from the bench. Before a lunch recess, Judge Armijo stated that T.H.B. should have substantial overnight residential time with both of her parents. But after reconvening, Brown argued that an occupational therapist and the GAL expressed a need for stability in T.H.B.'s schedule and that any changes should be gradual. Judge Armijo then decided to gradually increase Reed's visitation time and work towards residential overnights. Judge Armijo entered several written orders that same day. First, Judge Armijo entered a new temporary parenting plan. This temporary parenting plan designated Brown as T.H.B.'s custodial parent and granted Reed visitation time two evenings a week, every other Saturday, and every Sunday. Judge Armijo expressly provided for a review of the parenting plan on April 17, 2009. Judge Armijo also entered a "Judgment and Order Determining Parentage and Granting Additional Relief." 2 Clerk's Papers (CP) at 378. This judgment declared that Reed is T.H.B.'s father, provided that T.H.B.'s last name would be "Brown-Reed," and assigned Brown as T.H.B.'s primary residential parent.4 2 CP at 378. This order did not include any restraining orders, but it expressly directed that the TPO in Brown's domestic violence case be "modified in conformity with the temporary parenting plan."5 2 CP at 383. Finally, this order stated that Reed would be required to pay child support in accord with a separately-filed child support order.6 4 Reed alleged that when Brown signed the trial court's order, she also fraudulently changed the designation of T.H.B.'s last name. The order contains strikethroughs of "Reed" both times T.H.B.'s last name is written in the order. Only the initials "CB" appear next to the redactions. Brown denied altering the order. 5 Brown filed a motion to modify the TPO in her domestic violence case per Judge Armijo's order; but a week later she withdrew the motion. 6 A child support order signed by Judge Armijo is not in the record on review. 6 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II Over the next several weeks, the parties filed multiple motions in the family law case. Brown filed a reconsideration motion; Reed filed a motion to hold Brown in contempt and proposed revisions to the temporary parenting plan, again seeking residential overnight time with T.H.B. On January 16, 2009, the family law case was reassigned to Judge Hickman.7 On March 6, the trial court considered Reed's proposed parenting plan revisions. Ultimately, the trial court revised the parenting plan and granted Reed overnight residential time one night a week. The trial court decided that there was no evidence that T.H.B.'s health or safety was jeopardized while she was with Reed and that T.H.B.'s best interests were served by limited overnight visitations with her father. In July 2009, Brown requested a temporary order requiring Reed to pay for daycare expenses, pay her attorney fees, and change the visitation exchange location. Also, in her domestic violence case, Brown received an extension of her TPO making it valid through March 23, 2010. On September 14, 2009, the trial court began a second trial on the parenting plan and child support issues. Although the parties asserted that Commissioner Foley's November 1, 2007 child support order was a final order, Reed had complied with it, and no party had challenged it, Judge Hickman refused to treat a document titled "Order of Child Support (ORS) Temporary" as a final order in the absence of any evidence of Judge Armijo's intent to adopt it as a final order. In addition, the trial court considered several motions in limine. Relevant to this appeal, 7 All subsequent references to the "trial court" in these facts refer to actions taken by Judge Hickman unless noted otherwise. 7 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II Brown moved to confine the evidence to events that occurred since the December 2008 trial. She argued that Judge Armijo's primary residential and custodial parent designations were final determinations and that res judicata barred review of any nonvisitation issues in the parenting plan. Reed agreed to Brown's limiting motion, noting that his "only exception would be if something was opened up that required that we needed to go back in time." 3 RP at 53. The trial court granted the motion, stating that it had an extensive record of events up through the December 2008 trial for its review and that it desired to hear information about events since that trial. At this second trial, Reed presented multiple witnesses and testified himself. In general, Reed presented evidence about his relationship with T.H.B., their routine when she visits, and his financial and home circumstances. He also introduced evidence about baby-proofing his home. Brown presented multiple witnesses and testified herself. In general, Brown presented evidence about her relationship with T.H.B., her mother's help in caring for T.H.B., and precautionary safety measures in her home. Brown testified about the financial strain, including filing for bankruptcy, that she experienced related to this litigation and her inability to accept employment offers because she cannot relocate T.H.B. She described between $10,000 to $19,000 in debt for attorney fees and a $2,192.98 lien on her home associated with these costs. Finally, Brown testified that she agreed that T.H.B.'s best interests were served by having some residential time with Reed. She stated that ideally Reed would have T.H.B. every other weekend and a midweek visit. Brown expressly testified that she did not have "any problems with [Reed's] parenting." 5 RP at 371. Last, the trial court heard testimony about T.H.B.'s alleged sensory deficit problems. 8 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II Reed testified that an occupational therapist described, but did not diagnose, T.H.B. as having problems coordinating information obtained from her senses. An occupational therapist testified about T.H.B.'s recent therapy experiences and the impact of sensory development problems. T.H.B.'s pediatrician provided expert testimony about T.H.B.'s good health and sensory development problems that make it hard for T.H.B. to interact correctly with her environment. On October 2, Reed moved for the trial court overseeing Brown's domestic violence case to terminate the TPO based on his good behavior during the September family law case proceedings. The resolution of Reed's motion in the domestic violence matter is not in our record. On October 9, the trial court issued rulings from the bench. Then, on November 19, the trial court reduced its decisions to writing in multiple orders. The trial court ordered Brown to change T.H.B.'s last name to Brown-Reed and to have the TPO in her domestic violence case modified to conform to the findings of fact and conclusions of law entered in the family law case. The trial court also ordered Reed to pay child support, but a final child support order is not in the record on review. The trial court also entered a final permanent parenting plan designating Brown as the custodial and primary residential parent but granting Reed substantial residential visitation rights. The parties were required to pursue mediation before returning to the trial court if any disputes over the parenting plan occurred. The trial court also entered "Supplemental Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law." 4 CP at 618. The trial court found that T.H.B. did not have a childhood disability and that Brown had used the alleged sensory deficit disability "as a means to prevent [Reed] from having standard 9 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II visitation with [T.H.B.]." 4 CP at 619. The trial court also found that Reed had not intentionally violated or acted in bad faith on any of the trial court's orders since December 2008. Moreover, based on its observations at trial, the trial court found that Reed's actions were "not manipulative, controlling, or an extension of any pattern of domestic violence." 4 CP at 619. The trial court also found that no evidence, including Judge Armijo's decisions and the record before him, supported restrictions on Reed's visitation rights; in fact, "[t]he opposite is true." 4 CP at 619. The trial court ordered the parties to pay their own attorney fees. On November 24, Reed asked the trial court to reconsider certain parts of the final parenting plan. Specifically, Reed asked for some changes to the start and end times in the residential schedule, residential time every other year on T.H.B.'s birthday, and that the parties not be required to attempt mediation to resolve disputes. Brown objected and requested attorney fees. The trial court denied Reed's motion and Brown's requested attorney fees. On December 4, Brown moved to modify the TPO in her domestic violence case in light of Reed's visitation rights under the permanent parenting plan. The trial court overseeing the domestic violence case approved these changes on December 17. On December 18, Reed filed two separate notices of appeal. One notice of appeal concerned Brown's TPO case. Reed attached to this notice of appeal Brown's September 9, 2009 motion to renew the TPO and the December 17, 2009 order making changes to the TPO. Reed's second notice of appeal concerned the November 19, 2009 orders entered in the family law proceedings. We consolidated Reed's appeals. On December 31, 2009, Brown filed a cross appeal in the family law case. 10 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II ANALYSIS Reed's Appeals I. Domestic Violence Protection Order Reed assigns error to the TPO limiting his contact with Brown. He argues that res judicata and the "priority of action rule"8 precluded the creation and extension of a TPO. Brown responds that Reed's challenge to the TPO relies on evidence outside the record on review.9 We agree with Brown that Reed failed to perfect the record for our review and cites to evidence which we cannot consider. The party seeking review has the burden to perfect the record so that, as the reviewing court, we have all relevant evidence before us. Bulzomi v. Dep't of Labor & Ind., 72 Wn. App. 522, 525, 864 P.2d 996 (1994). An insufficient appellate record precludes review of the alleged errors. Bulzomi, 72 Wn. App. at 525. Pro se litigants are held to the same standard as attorneys and must comply with all procedural rules on appeal. In re Marriage of Olson, 69 Wn. App. 621, 626, 850 P.2d 527 (1993). The record does not clearly indicate that Brown presently has a TPO against Reed. Reed's notice of appeal included a September 23, 2009 extension of a TPO through March 23, 2010, and a December 17, 2009 order modifying the terms of the TPO but not changing its 8 The "priority of action rule" provides that the first forum to obtain jurisdiction over a case retains exclusive authority over the case to the exclusion of other coordinate courts. Am. Mobile Homes of Wash., Inc. v. Seattle-First Nat'l Bank, 115 Wn.2d 307, 316-17, 796 P.2d 1276 (1990). 9 Brown also argues that Reed failed to include in his notice of appeal any orders from her domestic violence case. Reed filed two different notices of appeal on December 18, 2009, including one challenging decisions in Brown's domestic violence case, Pierce County Cause No. 07-2-02403-0. 11 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II expiration date. And although Reed moved to terminate the TPO in October 2, 2009, the record does not include any information about the resolution of this motion. Reed has not established the existence of a current TPO for which we can grant his requested relief. By not perfecting the record to show that a present legal issue exists for which we can provide a remedy, Reed's appeal of the TPO fails. See Bulzomi, 72 Wn. App. at 525. Moreover, Reed's arguments rely on a December 18, 2008 transcript from a Tacoma Municipal Court proceeding that was not included in Reed's statement of arrangements and is not a part of the record on appeal. In addition, Reed cites to clerk's papers that are not in the record.10 We cannot review legal issues that rely on evidence outside the record on appeal. In re Marriage of Wintermute, 70 Wn. App. 741, 744 n.4, 855 P.2d 1186 (1993), review denied, 123 Wn.2d 1009 (1994). II. Parenting Plan Appeal11 Reed assigns numerous errors to the trial court's final parenting plan and findings. First, Reed argues that the trial court erred by treating Judge Armijo's December 2008 decision designating Brown as the primary residential parent as a final determination on this issue. Next, he contends that the trial court erred by excluding evidence of events that occurred before the December 2008 trial. Then, Reed argues that the trial court should have entered certain findings of fact against Brown's position and in favor of his position. Last, he challenges the trial court's 10 The clerk's papers in the record include pages 1 through 744 and 921 through 944. Reed requested clerk's papers 745 through 920 but did not pay Pierce County for them, despite several invoices. Thus, the county did not send clerk's papers 745 through 920 and, consequently, Reed's citations to the missing clerk's papers are to evidence outside the record on review. 11 Unless otherwise noted, all references to the "trial court" in part II of our analysis refer to rulings by Judge Hickman when he presided over family law proceedings. 12 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II conclusions of law, alleging that the findings of fact do not support them. We discern no error. As an initial matter, Brown argues that Reed did not include in his notice of appeal, or assign error to, the December 8, 2008 judgment and order determining parentage and granting additional relief or the final parenting plan. Although Reed did not include the December 8, 2008 temporary judgment and orders in his notice of appeal, when the trial court entered its final order in October 2009, it relied on the December 2008 orders as having resolved certain parenting plan issues, namely primary residential parenting and custodial parenting status. Accordingly, any errors in the December 2008 order prejudicially impact the final parenting plan and those alleged errors are before us for review. RAP 2.4(b). Also, although Reed failed to perfect his challenge to the final parenting plan by failing to attach it to his notice of appeal, as required by RAP 10.4(c), technical violations of the Rules of Appellate Procedure do not per se bar our review. RAP 1.2(a). And to the extent that Reed failed to specifically assign error to the December 2008 orders and the final parenting plan as required by RAP 10.3(g), we may exercise discretion and review the merits of an issue when the nature of that challenge is clear in the appellant's brief. Green River Cmty. Coll., Dist. No. 10 v. Higher Educ. Pers. Bd., 107 Wn.2d 427, 431, 730 P.2d 653 (1986); Goehle v. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Ctr., 100 Wn. App. 609, 614, 1 P.3d 579, review denied, 142 Wn.2d 1010 (2000). A. Primary Residential Parent Designation Reed argues that the trial court erred by treating Judge Armijo's December 2008 designation of Brown as the primary residential parent as a final decision and that Judge Armijo erred by applying the wrong legal standard. But Reed waived his challenge to the primary 13 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II residential parent designation. Here, Reed proposed at least three different parenting plans over the course of the family law proceedings and each time requested that the trial court designate Brown as T.H.B.'s primary residential and custodial parent. This included one parenting plan proposed after Judge Armijo entered the December 2008 orders in the family law proceedings. Moreover, in at least four different motions requesting relief or reconsideration of the temporary and final parenting plan orders, Reed never raised any concerns about the primary residential and custodial parent designation. Accordingly, because Judge Armijo and Judge Hickman granted his requested designation, Reed has waived his right to challenge the trial court's designation on appeal.12 See RAP 3.1 ("Only an aggrieved party may seek review by the appellate court."). B. Evidentiary Ruling Next, Reed contends that the trial court erred by excluding evidence of any events between the parties that occurred before the first family law trial in December 2008. We hold that Reed both waived and failed to preserve any error for review. In his reply brief, Reed concedes that he agreed to a pretrial motion to limit evidence at the September 2009 family law trial to events that occurred after the December 2008 trial. Accordingly, Reed waived any challenge to the trial court's evidentiary ruling that he now attempts to challenge on appeal. Reed argues that, even if he agreed to refrain from presenting cumulative evidence at the second trial, he did not agree that the trial court did not have to review and consider the pre- 12 We note that Reed can petition the trial court to modify a final parenting plan in accord with RCW 26.09.260. 14 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II December 2008 evidence. Reed cites a trial court colloquy asserting that it proves the trial court did not review and consider all the evidence admitted at the December 2008 trial. But, in context, the trial court stated that it reviewed only Judge Armijo's orders to determine which issues had or had not been preserved for the second trial. See 6 RP at 516 (stating, "I think I just want to read [the ruling] one more time to make sure I cover the issues that [Judge Armijo] didn't cover. But to go back and read the transcript, no way.") (emphasis added). Moreover, the trial court's final written order on the limiting motion states that "[t]he court having heard argument on [Brown's] Motion in Limine; It is hereby ordered, [a]djudged, and decreed that the Motion in Limine is granted and the issues, evidence, and testimony shall be after the date of the prior trial of December 8, 2008."13 3 CP at 594. The trial court's written ruling on its face limits consideration of the evidence at the second trial to post-December 8, 2008 circumstances and events. Reed did not object to the trial court's written order and, thus, he has failed to preserve any error in the evidentiary ruling for us to review. RAP 2.5(a). C. Entering Additional Findings of Fact Reed asserts that the trial court erred by failing to enter certain findings of fact. He argues that substantial evidence supports findings that Brown's lifestyle does not provide a stable environment for raising T.H.B., that Brown failed to adequately provide for T.H.B.'s care constituting neglect and nonperformance of parenting functions, and that Reed's bond with T.H.B. is stronger than Brown's. Reed requests that we either enter appropriate findings of fact 13 To the extent that the trial court's oral decision conflicts with its written decision, the written decision controls. Ferree v. Doric Co., 62 Wn.2d 561, 567, 383 P.2d 900 (1963). An oral decision "is necessarily subject to further study and consideration, and may be altered, modified, or completely abandoned. It has no final or binding effect, unless formally incorporated into the findings, conclusions, and judgment." Ferree, 62 Wn.2d at 567. 15 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II or remand to the trial court for entry of these specific findings. Appellate courts are "not a fact-finding branch of the judicial system of this state." Berger Eng'g Co. v. Hopkins, 54 Wn.2d 300, 308, 340 P.2d 777 (1959). The function of ultimate fact finding is exclusively vested in the trial court. Edwards v. Morrison-Knudsen Co., 61 Wn.2d 593, 598, 379 P.2d 735 (1963). We do not weigh evidence or substitute our judgment for that of the trial court. In re Marriage of Greene, 97 Wn. App. 708, 714, 986 P.2d 144 (1999). We cannot enter Reed's requested factual findings, which are based on disputed evidence admitted at trial. In addition, remanding to the trial court to enter specific findings of fact would usurp the trial court's exclusive role of evaluating the persuasiveness of evidence and the credibility of witnesses. Morse v. Antonellis, 149 Wn.2d 572, 574, 70 P.3d 125 (2003); Burnside v. Simpson Paper Co., 123 Wn.2d 93, 108, 864 P.2d 937 (1994). We will not do this. D. Conclusions of Law Support Last, Reed argues that the trial court's conclusions of law are not supported by its factual findings. He contends that, despite negative credibility findings against Brown, and no negative findings against himself, the trial court's final parenting plan resulted in "no positive outcome for [him]." Br. of Appellant at 42. It is unclear what "positive outcome" Reed sought at trial that he did not achieve. Passing treatment of an issue or lack of a reasoned argument does not provide a sufficient basis for review. Holland v. City of Tacoma, 90 Wn. App. 533, 538, 954 P.2d 290, review denied, 136 Wn.2d 1015 (1998). In general, Reed wanted significant residential overnight time with T.H.B. and received it in the final parenting plan. Reed suggests now that he also desired to be T.H.B.'s primary residential and/or custodial parent. But the record of Reed's proposed parenting plans 16 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II belies this assertion and Reed's argument is otherwise too vague for us to review it any further. Brown's Cross Appeal I. Child Support Order Brown challenges the trial court's refusal to modify Reed's child support obligation. We cannot evaluate Brown's claim because no final child support order has been entered in this case. We remand for the entry of a final child support order. Brown's notice of appeal and briefing discuss Commissioner Foley's temporary child support order entered on November 1, 2007. This temporary order was presumably superseded by a final order entered by either Judge Armijo or Judge Hickman. After the December 2008 trial, Judge Armijo entered final written orders, including a "Judgment and Order Determining Parentage and Granting Additional Relief" that stated Reed would pay child support "as set forth in the Order of Child Support . . . which is filed separately." 2 CP at 380. But the record on review does not include a separate child support order entered and signed by Judge Armijo. A review of Pierce County's publically accessible Legal Information Network Exchange (LINX) case-tracking system suggests that Judge Armijo did not enter the referenced child support order. During the second trial, before Judge Hickman, Brown moved to modify Reed's child support obligation, citing Commissioner Foley's November 1, 2007 order as if it were Judge Armijo's final child support order. On appeal, Reed also refers to the November 1, 2007 temporary child support order as a final order entered by Judge Armijo. But Judge Hickman ruled that the November 1, 2007 order was a temporary order and that nothing in the record suggested that Judge Armijo intended to treat the temporary order of child support as the final child support order. Moreover, Judge Hickman expressly stated that he considered a final child 17 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II support order to be "in play" at the second family court trial. 3 RP at 61. But according to our review, when Judge Hickman entered final orders on November 19, 2009, he also did not enter a final child support order. The final "Judgment and Order Establishing Residential Schedule/Parenting Plan [and] Child Support" states that "Clyde H. Reed shall pay child support as set forth in the order of child(ren) support which was signed by the court on this date." 4 CP at 622-23 (emphasis added). Our review of Pierce County's LINX system suggests that Judge Hickman did not enter the referenced final child support order. To the extent Brown argues that we can treat Commissioner Foley's November 1, 2007 temporary child support order as a final order based on Judge Hickman's oral rulings that he didn't "see any reason to change the existing child-support order," we disagree. 6 RP at 546. An oral decision "is necessarily subject to further study and consideration, and may be altered, modified, or completely abandoned. It has no final or binding effect, unless formally incorporated into the findings, conclusions, and judgment." Ferree v. Doric Co., 62 Wn.2d 561, 567, 383 P.2d 900 (1963). Because Judge Hickman's November 19, 2009 judgment and order specifically references a child support order entered on that same day, we cannot presume that Judge Hickman adopted the temporary decision as his final order. Remand to Judge Hickman for entry of a final child support order is, thus, appropriate. 18 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II II. Denial of Trial Court14 Attorney Fees Brown also challenges the trial court's denial of her request for attorney fees. She argues that the trial court abused its discretion by not considering her dire financial situation and litigation costs from when she had representation. We discern no error. We review a denial of attorney fees for an abuse of discretion. In re Marriage of Freeman, 169 Wn.2d 664, 676, 239 P.3d 557 (2010). The party challenging the award must show that the trial court's decision is untenable or manifestly unreasonable. In re Marriage of Knight, 75 Wn. App. 721, 729, 880 P.2d 71 (1994), review denied, 126 Wn.2d 1011 (1995). As an initial matter, on appeal, Brown cites RCW 26.26.62515 as the grounds for her trial attorney fees. This statute concerns attorney fees in adjudicating parentage under the Uniform Parentage Act of 2002, ch. 26.26 RCW. Although, the litigation below tangentially related to a parentage determination because a paternity affidavit had not been filed, the parties never actually disputed Reed's status as T.H.B.'s father. The primary dispute in this litigation concerned the final parenting plan and, thus, RCW 26.26.625 cannot support an attorney fees award in this case. Moreover, regardless of the party's financial circumstances, the trial court's unchallenged findings of fact support its denial of attorney fees in this case. Unchallenged findings of fact are verities on appeal. In re Marriage of Brewer, 137 Wn.2d 756, 766, 976 P.2d 102 (1999). The primary reason for Reed's litigation concerned his visitations rights: the trial court's findings 14 References to the "trial court" in this section of the analysis refer to rulings by Judge Hickman at the end of the family law proceedings. 15 Brown actually cites RCW "26.25.625(3)" in her brief. Br. of Cross-Appellant at 9. Ch. 26.25 RCW concerns cooperative agreements between the state and Indian tribes for child support services and does not contain a section 625. Given the context, Brown likely meant to cite RCW 26.26.625(3). 19 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II imply that Brown's actions contributed to the length and cost of this litigation. Moreover, based on our review of the record, Brown often refused to comply with trial court orders about changing T.H.B.'s legal last name to "Brown-Reed" and modifying the domestic violence TPO, which contributed to the length of the litigation. Accordingly, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when denying Brown attorney fees. Appellate Attorney Fees A request for appellate attorney fees requires a party to include a separate section in his or her brief devoted to the request. RAP 18.1(b). This requirement is mandatory. Phillips Bldg. Co. v. An, 81 Wn. App. 696, 705, 915 P.2d 1146 (1996). The rule requires more than a bald request for attorney fees on appeal. Thweatt v. Hommel, 67 Wn. App. 135, 148, 834 P.2d 1058, review denied, 120 Wn.2d 1016 (1992). Argument and citation to authority are required under the rule to advise this court of the appropriate grounds for an award of attorney fees as costs. Austin v. U.S. Bank of Wash., 73 Wn. App. 293, 313, 869 P.2d 404, review denied, 124 Wn.2d 1015 (1994). Pro se litigants are held to the same standard as attorneys and must comply with all procedural rules on appeal. Olson, 69 Wn. App. at 626. Under RAP 18.9(a), we can award attorney fees for the filing of frivolous appeals. An appeal is frivolous when the appeal presents no debatable issues on which reasonable minds could differ and is so lacking in merit that there is no possibility of reversal. Mahoney v. Shinpoch, 107 Wn.2d 679, 691, 732 P.2d 510 (1987). I. Reed's Appeals Reed and Brown both requested attorney fees in Reed's appeals. Reed included a single sentence requesting attorney fees without citation to authority and, thus, did not comply with the 20 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II mandatory requirements of RAP 18.1(b). Moreover, Reed does not prevail in his appeals. Accordingly, we deny Reed's request for attorney fees. Brown complied with the requirements of RAP 18.1(b) and requests fees because Reed's appeal is frivolous.16 Reed's appeals are frivolous because all of his arguments lack merit and could not possibly have resulted in a reversal. Mahoney, 107 Wn.2d at 691. Reed requested that we reverse the primary residential parenting designation that he requested, reverse an oral evidentiary ruling to which he agreed and a written evidentiary ruling to which he did not object, and vacate a domestic violence TPO that appears from the record he provided to have already expired. Moreover, he requested remedies that an appellate court cannot grant and he failed to perfect the record such that we could fully evaluate some of his challenges. Reed's appeals are thus frivolous and support an award of reasonable appellate fees and costs to Brown. II. Brown's Cross Appeal Reed did not request attorney fees related to Brown's cross appeal. Brown requested appellate attorney fees and complied with RAP 18.1(b), but failed to cite a proper statutory authority for this court to award fees. Brown cites only the Uniform Parentage Act attorney fees provision, RCW 26.26.625(3), as grounds for an award. As previously discussed, this statute cannot support attorney fees in Brown's cross appeal. We deny Brown's appellate attorney fees request in her cross appeal. In accordance with this opinion, we remand to Judge Hickman for entry of a final child support order and affirm in all other respects. We award Brown reasonable attorney fees in 16 Brown also cites the Uniform Parentage Act attorney fees statute, RCW 26.26.625(3), as grounds for fees on appeal. As already explained, this statute does not apply under the facts of this case and cannot support any attorney fee awards. 21 Consol. Nos. 40119-3-II / 40122-3-II Reed's appeals, but not in her cross appeal, in an amount to be determined by the commissioner of this court. A majority of the panel having determined that this opinion will not be printed in the Washington Appellate Reports, but will be filed for public record in accordance with RCW 2.06.040, it is so ordered. QUINN-BRINTNALL, J. We concur: HUNT, J. PENOYAR, C.J. 22

So we got a dungeon strat instead of anything about 4.0.6 because........? Cuz seriously, though I grant you the article was well writ, aside from pointing out the obvious (I.e. empowered SoC is great on mobs, BoH is teh uber with adds, and don't immediately soulshatter ever), this really belongs with the strats, and we actually could very much use a patch changes analysis... things have changed since Zach wrote his weeks ago...
I would say unless the Part 2 has highly class specific details, delay it. If it does, then it's appropriate and justifies the part 1.
I would also say I am far far far from an authoritative voice for the community, and I bet you could fling up a poll pretty darn quick as to whether the Warlocks in general would like more class-geared strats, or if we feel a deep analysis of 4.0.6 is in order. :)
SINisterWyvern said...
I'm pretty sure just anyone can go look at the ptr notes and see how it it effects them while tips for warlocks going into fights for the first time I feel would be more useful. Strats found among the web are always generic to cover everyone. Specific tips are more valuable.

This year isn't the first time Maxine Umeh-Garcia has walked across the commencement stage at the University of California, Merced. She was part of the campus's graduating class in 2010.
But this time will be markedly different. Umeh-Garcia is receiving a master's degree in quantitative and systems biology, and she will represent the Class of 2013 at one of two commencement ceremonies scheduled for May 18 and 19.
This year's conferral of degrees marks a significant increase for the university as 1,008 graduates are expected to participate in the campus's eighth commencement [1] exercises — the most degrees awarded in its history and 48 percent more than last year.
This year, UC Merced is expected to bestow 957 bachelor's degrees, 10 master's degrees and 41 doctorate degrees compared to 641 bachelor's degrees, 23 master's degrees and 19 doctorate degrees in 2012.
Chancellor Dorothy Leland, who presides over her second commencement at UC Merced, shares in the excitement of the weekend's festivities.
"We are extraordinarily proud of our graduates and their accomplishments," Leland said. "So many of them are the first to graduate from college in their families and they hold great promise as they go out and engage in the world as UC Merced alumni."
Retired NASA astronaut José M. Hernández will speak to candidates in the schools of Natural Sciences and Engineering on May 18, and award-winning author David Mas Masumoto will speak to candidates from the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts on May 19. Both events begin at 9 a.m. in the South Bowl on campus.
Since joining the campus in 2007 as a transfer student, Umeh-Garcia has watched the university blossom first-hand.
"Look at where we started and where we are now in just eight years," said Umeh-Garcia, who is from Sacramento and initially received her bachelor's degree in biological sciences. "And we plan on continuing to grow and better every aspect of our school."
While obtaining her master's, Umeh-Garcia worked in Professor Michael Cleary's lab studying nervous system development and stem cell biology. Next fall, she is heading to UC Davis to earn a doctorate in biochemistry, molecular, cellular and developmental biology. She said her experiences as an undergraduate encouraged her to pursue her graduate education at UC Merced.
"Students are given a one-of-a-kind experience that they wouldn't be able to get anywhere else," Umeh-Garcia said. "UC Merced is known for small class sizes, one-on-one time with professors, and an entire staff and faculty team that genuinely cares about your future and does everything they can to help you succeed."
This year's graduates hail from 42 counties in California, four other states and four other countries — China, India, and Japan and Malay.
Brian Grauman, a psychology major from San Jose who plans to attend law school, will represent the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts as student speaker at Sunday's ceremony.
"Every student here has the chance to impact the school, whether by participating in student government and making their voice heard, by working in a research lab in their field of interest, or by establishing ties with the community through service and involvement," said Grauman, who finished his degree requirements in three years. "Being selected to serve as the student speaker at commencement is a great honor."
Two graduates will sing the national anthem: Arianne Barreras, a biological sciences major from San Francisco majo,r at the Saturday ceremony and Valeria Aguirre, a literature and cultures major from Woodlake, at the Sunday ceremony.
More information about commencement is available online [1].
