I'm a mixed-media painter that mainly works in cold wax and encaustic. I create art influenced by my childhood explorations of the Rocky Mountains and my time spent living in California. My style varies - ranging from free form abstracts to straight lined geometric themed pieces. I start my paintings with colors and images found in nature and let the organic shapes emerge by themselves. My paintings evolve through applying layers of paint, and other mediums such as ink, charcoal, and pastel. The final piece always surprises me - as I let my intuition guide me through the process.
When not in my studio, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my husband and sweet rescue border collie.
Browse my artwork, and hopefully you will feel the joy I have put into each piece.


Sales have been a big issue for Marvel ever since they relaunched with their "All new" tagline months ago. And now the hammer has dropped on several titles.
Most of the books listed in this first wave of casualties have sold books below 20k which, in comic book business, is still considered a lot.
Subscribers of these titles will get a replacement title when they finally out these titles to rest.
Its too bad that they axed a few promising titles. Vision was really good. That whole murder mystery is something that could have kept the book going but did not.
I guess at this point in time Marvel really needs to step back from launchine new titles and retooling or developing the existing books to once again cater to its cire readers.
Also anybody notice that Nova is still alive and kicking? They really need to reshuffle that title. Or bring back Richard Rider as the one true Nova.


When you graduated from college, you thought that the world is yours for the taking and so did you find one of the best companies around. You really like the company and had worked there, till you got old. As time passes, you thought of your retirement and honestly, this is something that you need to do since the company isn't interested on employing you anymore. Soon, you retire and you bought an old houses way up in the mountain. Now, the problem is that you don't' what lies beneath. You need to get there and find out for yourself what is waiting for you up there.
Honestly, you didn't know what to expect since the sellers isn't interested in having his knowledge about the place. He already said it that it is for you to find out. The day finally came when you decided to visit the place up in the mountain. The trip there would take several hours and it is going to be a bumpy ride. Little didn't you know that there are some wild animals to where you are going and it did quite surprise you? But, what you didn't expect to see is the abominable snowman. Fortunately, the van is equipped with the latest defense system.
The idea in this game is to get to the mountain, but that would be a long time run so you need to focus on how far you can go, for now. There are coins along the way and you need to collect that so that you would be able to upgrade your truck. The more you upgrade the better chance for you to reach the mountain top. The further you get the harder it would be for you and that is the challenge that you need to face. The game gets harder and more exciting as you make some progresses.

Your church, synagogue or mosque website is a glimpse into the beliefs and culture of your organization and how it functions. By making sure it always looks professional and up-to-date, you are more likely to attract people who are looking for a new church home while also satisfying the need to keep current church members connected and informed. Below are five quick tips to help keep your church website vibrant and engaging.
These days, a church website is as vital as the church leaders themselves in growing and engaging the congregation and spreading God's word.

Times were changing and the way in which people communicate and want to receive or find information was also changing…fast.

The Ends of Democracy
International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs Conference
07 November 2017 -
SESC Unidade Pompeia
This multi-day conference runs from November 7-9. The rise of populist movements in recent years raises questions about the challenges for liberal democracy and its basic institutional forms. For instance, what are "the ends" of democracy in a double sense: what are the ends of democracy, that is, its purposes and promises, but also, what […]
Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
Michael Hardt, Professor of Literature, Duke University
26 October, 2017, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
370 Dwinelle Hall, UC Berkeley
We continue to witness each year the eruption of "leaderless" social movements. From North Africa and the Middle East to Europe, the Americas, and East Asia, movements have left journalists, political analysts, police forces, and governments disoriented and perplexed. Activists too have struggled to understand and evaluate the power and effectiveness of horizontal movements. Why […]
Tissue of the World: On Stoic Sympathy
Brooke Holmes, Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Classics, Princeton University
The concept of cosmic sympathy, highly developed by the Stoics, is at once deeply foreign to us in its claims regarding a mind fully immanent in the world and intriguing, as we struggle anew with imagining communities that bring together humans and non-humans. This talk investigates the contours, the stakes, and the internal tensions of […]
Foucault's Enlightenment: Islamic Revolution and the Perils of Universal History
3335 Dwinelle Hall, UC Berkeley
Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi examines Foucault's writings on the Iranian Revolution as an attempt to write the history of the present without binding commitments to a teleological historiography. Is it possible for a people to envision and desire futures uncharted by already existing schemata of history? Is it possible to think of dignity, justice, and liberty outside […]
CRITICAL THEORY WORKING GROUP | COLLABORATIONS, CO-OPERATIVES, COALITION-BUILDING | Questions of State
Please join us for the second meeting of the 2017-18 Critical Theory Working Group, which takes up the topic of Questions of State.

These two scholars bring a wide range of expertise, from Marxist theory to comparative […]
The Scandal of the Human
Christopher Peterson, Associate Profesor, School of Humanities and Communications Arts, Western Sydney University
14 September, 2017, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
According to many scholars of the nonhuman turn, the scandal of theory lies in its failure to decenter the human. The real scandal, however, is that we keep trying. Do we not risk denying the human—or rather the persistence of its phantasm—in our enthusiasm to mark a decisive "turn" toward the nonhuman? I argue that […]
Critical Theory Working Group | Collaborations, Co-operatives, Coalition-Building | Collaboration Thinking
Please join us for the first meeting of the 2017-18 Critical Theory Working Group, which takes up the topic of Collaboration Thinking.

What Now? Political Thought at a Moment of Crisis (Day Two)
08 September, 2017, 9:30 am - 6:00 pm
223 Moses Hall
We are facing today extraordinary and unprecedented political challenges. To name the most pressing: an unchecked growth of the human population with its potential for large-scale migration, global displacement, and disruption; technological advances that are upending all our existing economic, political, and social arrangements; a merger of economic and political power that comes with a […]

Dancing in a Posthuman World: Material Bodies and New Alliances
Marta Segarra, Research Professor, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France; Professor of Gender Studies and French Studies at Universitat de Barcelona, Spain; Visiting Scholar, the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs, UC Berkeley
Geballe Room, 220 Stephens Hall, UC Berkeley
Marta Segarra's lecture will consider how some beings are relegated to the external margins of the community and reduced to an anonymous mass, which is often more related to animality than to humanity. From an ecofeminist and posthuman perspective, it will also examine the possibility of a reformulation of the human community beyond the "family." […]
Between the Scholar and the Public Intellectual: The University in the Contemporary African Context
Mahmood Mamdani, Director of Makerere Institute of Social Research, Makerere University, Uganda; Visiting Scholar, the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs

Critical Theory in Times of Crisis Working Group | Asian Socialism, Magical Realism: What was Global Maoism?
Colleen Lye, Associate Professor English, UC Berkeley
27 April, 2017, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
In an Arrighi-inspired model of literary history, Jed Esty has recently argued that periods of imperial crisis have also been periods in literature of "realism wars." This account forces us to reconsider not only the question of whether postmodernism was the ascendant aesthetic of the 70s but also the question of whether postmodernism was in […]
A Critical Theory of Justice
Rainer Forst, Professor of Political Theory and Philosophy, Goethe Universität, Frankfurt
In this lecture, Forst will reflect on some of the basic issues for a critical theory of justice. What are the basic normative concepts for such an approach, and does it proceed by way of immanent critique? What kind of social realism is required for it to be sociologically grounded? What notion of emancipation is […]
Critical Theory in Times of Crisis Working Group | Historical Gestures in the Cinematic Present | A Talk by Noa Steimatsky
Noa Steimatsky, Visiting Associate Professor of Italian Studies, UC Berkeley
In the flexible realms of cinematic time and movement, in oceans of contingent detail and the overwhelming expressivity of bodies and gestures—does history risk drowning in sensory response, in ritualistic absorption, in pleasure or in shock? The experience of presentness of the screened, time-based moving image can be maneuvered and intensified in ways that cut […]
Recognition and Affirmation of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture through Rap: a Debate on the Emancipation of Consciousness and the Identity Formation of Black Youth in Brazil
Mônica Amaral, Associate Professor of Psychoanalysis, Education and Culture at the Faculty of Education, University of São Paulo, Brazil
16 March, 2017, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
I have recently revised this talk to better engage recent discussions among the faculty and graduate students of The Program in Critical Theory. Rather than presenting the results of my research into the schools of São Paulo, Brazil, I will consider the potential emancipation of rap music and music videos, inspired in this reflection by […]

Russ Leo will present his research on the intersections between poetic and philosophical experiments in Anglo-Dutch contexts across the 1650s, 60s, and 70s, particularly the ways one might place Milton and Spinoza in conversation. This involves attention to Spinoza's contributions to literary culture in Amsterdam and the Netherlands at large, as well as his debts […]
Critical Theory in Times of Crisis Working Group | Critical Theory and Sociopolitical Crisis: Then; and Then; and Now?
Robert Kaufman, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley
A discussion initiated by the Critical Theory in Times of Crisis Working Group, considering how Frankfurt School and related currents in critical theory have approached, adapted, and rethought the intellectual and practical aspects of their work in, and on, crises generated by authoritarian, fascist, and fascist-oriented movements (paying particular attention to the 1930s-40s; the late […]
To Be the Owner of My Own Person: Toward a Concept of Freedom as Heteronomy Without Servitude
Vladimir Safatle, Professor and Director of Research, Department of Philosophy and Institute of Psychology, Universidade de São Paulo
28 February, 2017, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Today autonomy, defined as self-legislation and self-determination, appears to be a precondition of freedom. Autonomy is widely accepted as the normative horizon of claims for social emancipation and psychological maturity. Nevertheless, this understanding of autonomy depends on a fundamental metaphysical presupposition that must be submitted to criticism. This presupposition follows from the belief that the […]

The Origin of Convict Leasing: Slavery and Incarceration in Kentucky
470 Stephens Hall
"I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game." —President Abraham Lincoln In this talk, I suggest that convict leasing did not begin with formerly enslaved African Americans in the years following emancipation, as the scholarly consensus suggests. It began in the antebellum era with white inmates at the […]
Syncing… Subject, Media, Society: 25th Annual Interdisciplinary German Studies Conference
25 February, 2017, 10:00 am - 5:30 pm
"Not all people exist in the same Now," claimed Ernst Bloch in his seminal 1932 book Erbschaft dieser Zeit ("Heritage of Our Times"). The rhythms of modernity had fractured society into isolated temporal worlds. While individuals occupied the same space, he argued, they lived ungleichzeitig—out of sync. Synchronism speaks to a temporal relation, a shared […]
Cleverness and Drive, or the Cybernetic Fantasy of Value: R.S. Hunt's "Two Kinds of Work"
Seb Franklin, Lecturer in Contemporary Literature, King's College London
In January 1951, R.S. Hunt—a British technical editor and former chemist without any university degree or diploma—sent a manuscript titled "Two Kinds of Work" to the mathematician Norbert Wiener, who did not read it. Hunt's manuscript promises to "put metaphysics within the scope of physics." And it claims to do so by making "such quantities […]

Towards a Romantic Anthropology: River Life and Climate Change in Bangladesh
Naveeda Khan, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Johns Hopkins University
24 January, 2017, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
470 Stephens Hall, UC Berkeley
There is a quality of the chimerical to the silt islands that form and dissolve within the Jamuna River. Life on the islands never quite settles; the ground is constantly turned up, shifting, moving, and reforming elsewhere, a condition which inevitably grounds a particularly striking relationship with Nature. In this talk, I want think with […]

Another in my series of photos from ten years ago.
Black Saturday, 7th February 2009. There were dire warnings earlier in the week about the fire risk, though I'm not sure everyone believed them.
It was a stinking hot day. The car thermometer at one stage measured 47.5 degrees – here it is showing 47.
The previous week: first day of school.
This photo shows a morning of severe train delays. As the signs show, the train was an hour late reaching South Yarra.
The view on Centre Road at Bentleigh – with the level crossing.
Speaking to channel 7 on platform 3 at the old Bentleigh station.
Flinders Street Station with its then mustardy paint job.
Getting some work done while waiting for the train. Super grainy photo from phone camera.
Amazing amounts of litter on the tracks at Glenhuntly. I'm sure it's not normally this messy nowadays.
I took this photo because the "Mind the gap" signage was new. This was at Footscray.
Every February there's a big publicity campaign for the Grand Prix in March. In 2009, the after-race concert included The Who – which I ended up attending. Also note the Punt Road traffic in the background, with two nortbound 246 buses in a row.
February 2009 was also the month I got this new USB drive.
By the way, load shedding was in the news the other week. I see from my old blog posts that it happened back in February 2009 as well. So anybody who claims it didn't used to happen back when there was little green energy is completely wrong.
Social media has been swept with the #10YearChallenge – people posting photos from ten years ago. I've been doing this for a while now, though this tends to be of spots around Melbourne, rather than personal photos.
I suspect the challenge for some is even finding the photos.
Flinders Street Station tower, snapped from across the road at Victoria University, which was the venue for Lego Brickvention that year.
View of Melbourne from the deck of the replica Enterprize sailing ship, from a short sail we did from Williamstown.
On the way home from the Enterprize, at Newport station. Even back then it was busy on a Sunday afternoon.
Remember when there were milk crate men everywhere? This is near South Kensington. My little camera couldn't handle the speed of a photo from a moving train.
Trams (and not much else) in Docklands.
Remember the Hitachi trains? Here's one arriving at Richmond.
…and inside. I assume it was a warm day, as all the windows are open. This only did so much, of course… on a very hot day, hot air blowing through the carriage helped a bit, but wasn't actually all that pleasant. These days the entire train fleet is air-conditioned, but the tram fleet isn't there yet.
At Southbank, looking southwest at the Sandridge rail bridge. I can't see the sculptures, but presumably they are there in the background, as apparently they have been present since 2006.
One of the benefits of public transport is you can use the time to play with your phone. Back in 2009, the phone companies seemed to think this involved – wait for it – making telephone calls.
Back when the trams were battleship grey, and they used obscure route numbers like 47.
In December 2008 a brand new bike parking cage was under construction at Bentleigh. It would be demolished just 7 years later as part of the rebuilding of the station.
I'm not even sure why I snapped this photo: view of the city from above the Bunbury Street tunnel in Footscray. It certainly wasn't high resolution by 2018 standards, but you can view it larger here.
The coal industry trying to pretend they're good guys. I don't know if they even pretend these days… note yesterday Adani announced it would press ahead with its new coal mine, in the middle of a state bushfire crisis — nice touch.
Warrnambool holiday! This was fun. Should go back sometime.
Unprotected level crossing somewhere near Warrnambool. With little traffic, and about half-a-dozen trains per day, probably not going to be removed anytime soon.
I remember we hired a car from a place in the 'Bool where the bloke said "No worries" about every 20 seconds, so we could drive part of the Great Ocean Road. Here it is. Straya.
Motorcycles parking all over the pavement are not a new problem, but as the CBD gets busier, they're a growing issue. This is a photo snapped for a blog post about them back in 2008.
The election of Barak Obama. I was watching on a CRT, obviously… and blogged a whinge about the ABC cropping the CNN ticker of useful information.
A big Connex advertisement in Newmarket. This was the month they moved Werribee trains out of the Loop on weekdays, and started running the Clifton Hill loop clockwise all day. Not everyone liked it, but both changes have helped enable more trains to run.

Bush: Iraq Troop Level Said Sufficient
By TERENCE HUNT
Thursday, November 2, 2006; 2:32 AM
WASHINGTON -- President Bush says he has not received any request to send more American forces to Iraq and that commanders have told him the 144,000 troops already deployed are "what they can live with."
Bush also said "it's hard for me to tell" if U.S. troops will still be in Iraq when he leaves office in January 2009.
Five days before the midterm elections, the president said he understand the anxieties of Republicans who have distanced themselves from his Iraq policies. "People will run the race they need to run," he said. Bush said Democrats "don't have a plan for victory."
Bush spoke in an interview with The Associated Press and others Wednesday, a day before he headed out for five days of campaigning up to Election Day. He plans to vote Tuesday in Crawford, Texas, and then fly back to Washington to await returns at the White House.
Discounting mounting predictions that Republicans will lose control of the House, Bush expressed confidence that his party would maintain its grip on both the Senate and House.
"I don't believe it's over until everybody votes," Bush said, sitting in a wing chair in the Oval Office in front of a table adorned with a bowl of roses. "And I believe that people are concerned about the amount of taxes they pay, and I know many people are concerned about whether or not this country is secure against attack."
Now in its fourth year, the war in Iraq is the top issue in the election. Bush said he wanted Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, the top architect of the war, and Vice President Dick Cheney to remain with him until the end of his presidency.
"Both those men are doing fantastic jobs and I strongly support them," Bush said.
Democrats and Republicans alike have called for Rumsfeld's resignation, arguing that he has mishandled the war in Iraq, where more than 2,800 members of the U.S. military have died since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003. Cheney has faced sharp criticism for his hardline views. In recent polling, less than 40 percent of respondents had a favorable view of Cheney and about a third had a favorable view of Rumsfeld.
Bush said he valued Cheney's advice and judgment.
"The good thing about Vice President Cheney's advice is, you don't read about it in the newspaper after he gives it," the president said.
While Cheney was re-elected with Bush for four years, there has been recurring speculation that he might step down, perhaps for health reasons. As a practical matter, Bush could ask the vice president to leave if he wanted.

Addition of the Schools and Nursery service section in a major website update today (18 May). The schools and nursery service has been operating for a little while, but until now not formally advertised. It's for any school or nursery looking for a photographer and/or to do some fund raising. All I can say is not every photographer is the same and I offer a bespoke tailored service to meet a school's or nursery's needs, and use my extensive youth work experience to engage with the children and youth to achieve the shots parents love. I also offer to take images of the children at play or work for the school or nursery for promotional use.
As well as portrait sessions I offer event coverage, something to consider as nice addition to a prom event or similar. This includes having the portable studio set up to take individuals and groups on the night AND coverage of the actual event.


I guess this is already old news by now. But, I just recently happened to check it out. I came to know about such an application when my Manager suggested it. After trying it out, I have one word – AWESOME!!!!
Ok. What I am talking about here is a full fledged online document application (Yeah! Just like Writely, Google Docs) developed in FLEX!!!! I was amazed at not only how feature rich the app was. I was stumbled totally because many of the stuff they have achieved. They have done stuff which I never thought was possible using Flex.
Buzzword, the first real word processor for the web, is a breakthrough in collaborative authoring for documents that matter. Many online pundits agree with us.
And Guess what? Adobe is acquiring them. You can register and try it out yourself here. Check out the screenshots here. Click on thm to see a larger view.
User can select columns to view and width of the columns etc. This setting for each grid in the application is remembered across sessions.(For this to work properly, you will have to ensure that you always specify a distinct ID for for each grid in your application.) This feature is very useful, if you are fetching a lot of columns to display but are not sure whether all the users would be interested in all the columns. Now, the user can choose to see columns of his/her choice and that choice is remembered across sessions.
Fixed the sorting logic in the column sort.
The CGrid can now take in custom itemRenderer from the caller.
Check it out… 🙂 For more details about what CGrid is all about, check out this post.
It's been a long time since I updated the grid component. Hey, for that matter… It's been a log while since I last posted here. 🙂 Been quiet a bit busy lately. Anyway, am almost back. This month is also going to be a bit hectic. But, I hope to post regularly from September onwards.
Note: Thanks to all who downloaded CGrid v1.0 and used them in their projects. It really feels nice to see that the component has served some good purpose. The CGrid component is individually responsible for keeping my blog alive and bringing in readers even though I haven't posted anything new for the last couple of months. So, this component is kind of the 'old man' of this blog. Anyway, Lemme thank all visitors for checking it out. Keep downloading. Keep leaving comments 🙂 ….
If you have been working on applications which serve highly dynamic data on the screen, you are most likely to have had to rely on the "polling" mechanism to get updated data from the back-end. We had similar requirement in our project and we created a tiny component using Flex's Timer Class to fire a specific method at set frequencies.
Setting the owner is to make sure that our refresher stops and starts based on the views visibility. In most cases, Polling mechanism ends up being really costly on the back-end. Especially if you are dealing with multi-tiered architecture and trying to talk to a web server, database server etc over the network. And its very much possible, that multiple views in your application might be required to autorefresh periodically. If you are polling in all the screens whether they are required or not, you are most likely to end up crashing the back-end infrastructure. In order to address this problem and minimize the load on the back-end, we built in a mechanism into the refresher by which it stops if the view is visible and starts automatically when the view is visible. This is why we are setting the owner in the init method. So, if you have autorefresher running on view A and B; and the user is viewing view B, then only view B is refreshing and when the user moves to view A; view B stops refreshing and view A starts.
Special thanks to Easwar for making this idea work! This component might come in handy for many 🙂 . It sure saved a lot of effort for us 😉 . Check it out.
Note: The demo is very basic. All it does is gets the time every 3 seconds and updates the label in the view.
I have been collecting all the "flex explorers" from time to time as they are rolled out. The Flex explorers have been really really handy when it comes to checking for some stuff which you are not sure whether is possible. Without the style explorer, we would have been completely lost! From a styling perspective, the api documentation seems a little complex for a designer to get an idea of how go about styling a component on screen.
On many occasions when I have an idea, instead of reading through the api docs, I just checkout the explorers to see if it is possible in flex. As for stuff like effects, filters etc., I have found it impossible to figure it out from the api docs.
Over the past months, we have seen many explorers being released by adobe and other developers around the world. I have consolidated them under the FLEX EXPLORERS heading on the right side (below the Flex Components section). Check it out. If I have missed out anything, do drop a comment 🙂 .
I was looking around in the net for an effective client/user IDLE TIMEOUT mechanism. My requirement was very simple – The UI should time-out if the user is idle for more than 5 minutes. In geek terminology, IDLE translates to zero keystrokes and zero mouse movements.
Now, when the application starts, the timer starts. If there is no user activity for the timeOutInterval specified, then a timeout warning pops up and stays up for confirmInterval time. Once the confirmInterval has been crossed, the application is timedout. At this point, three actions happen – 1. The application is disabled; 2. The FunctionPassedFromCaller set to the onTimeOut attribute is fired; 3. An event of type appTimedOut is dispatched. We can have a listener for this event and fire our actions at this point apart from the onTimeOut function.
PS: The Demo has an idle timeout for 3 mins. and a warning prompt of 2 mins. The ASDocs provided is more of an experiment 😉 .
The stuff looks neat. But, am still not sure whether we need it as now we have History Management built in as part of the Flex project compilation. Checkout the demo.

While most Limited Company contractors are happy to be working as much as possible, we all need a bit of time off during the year. Taking a break to simply re-charge or to spend time with family is an important factor in maintaining a healthy work/life balance. This can be especially true around the Christmas season as this can be such a hectic time of social and family activities. If you've worked hard all year it's perfectly understandable that you'll want to relax and fully enjoy this time. As a contractor you are your own boss. In theory, this means it's possible to take as much holiday time as you want, whenever you feel like it. In practice, it's sensible to take a few key factors into account when planning your holiday breaks. These will not only help you have a more relaxing time off, they'll also help make sure that your valuable clients remain happy.
Consider your bank balance – Some contractors take holidays during natural breaks between contracts. If you have the flexibility to do this it can be a good way to get your holiday time in during the year. It can work especially well if you have already secured your next contract. However, if you don't have a contract to come back to, remember that winning your next contract may take a few weeks which could mean a slight pause in your income, although this doesn't mean that you shouldn't take any holiday of course.If you're taking time off within a contract, just think through the financial impact as this will be unpaid leave.
Make sure your client's needs are met – While working in a contract the client's needs should always be a priority consideration. Don't disappear when they need you most! If this is unavoidable, if you're working outside IR35, you may be entitled to offer a substitute to complete the work in your absence. If you choose to do this, make sure that the substitute is genuinely of the same standard as you are or you could not only upset your client, you could also be in breach of your contract. Where possible, take your breaks during quiet periods as it's unlikely that clients will have an issue with holidays if they're not paying for the time.
Be realistic about how much time to take off – It would usually be prudent not to take breaks of more than two weeks at once. One of the reasons for this is that this would be the usual maximum for most salaried employees. Of course, things can vary between clients as there are no fixed rules, but if you're looking for a contract extension or future work with the client then stick to their rules.
Check your contract details – It's possible to include a specific periods of absence provision in a contract, but not many contractors do this. If you have exact dates that you will want time off during a contract though, it's worth including this if you can. Some contracts may stipulate that time off may not be taken within the first month, or until a specified deliverable is completed, so check your contract before informing your client of an absence to avoid any potential conflicts.
With just a little planning, you can relax and enjoy the time off you've earned without upsetting your clients or risking your financial health.

I think the logo variations has given me a disease. Now I won't be able to watch a movie without paying attention to the beginning studio credits! Thanks.
Ehehe. Thanks for the mention, John! :D And all of those other cool links too.
I've always wondered if the arrow in the FedEx logo was really intentional, or simply the coincidental result of the E and the x side-by-side.
