to clean and de-stink your leather jacket:
don't get it dry cleaned, especially if it's a really nice soft leather, 'cause when you get it back it'll have a different texture and it's like 60 bucks anyway.
wipe it down with a leather conditioner like lexol (my fave) http://tinyurl.com/ko7qxgj , then turn it inside out and zip it up. splash some aftershave onto a paper towel and toss it along with your jacket into a dryer on warm for 10-20 mins. when it comes out it'll be clean, conditioned and fresh as new

Never charge per hour. A woman asked Picasso to sketch her something. The woman sputtered and asked how could he charge her thousands of dollars when it only took him a couple minutes. Picasso responded, “Madame, it took me my entire life.”
Do not be punished for your efficiency.

- I just had a very small one of these today. Knocked out some design interpretations in vector in about 5 minutes and then client queried a [paltry] £20 charge..detritus
- ..because I emailed them back so quickly.
Email response was words to the effect of "you are more than welcome to work in the industry for 15 years so you candetritus - ..do this yourself".
It's only one part of an overall job, which was charged fairly, as always.
Just thought it was cheeky as fuck - we'd already agreed cost.detritus - I should, perhaps, have waited a wee while before emailing, but fuck man. Cheeky cunt.detritus

Don't be afraid to ask for help. Most people are nice in general and would be willing to help. you just gotta ask.
I'm still working on showing gratitude. I'm terrible at showing it even when i do feel it.

The safest place to sit on train
Some studies have found that cars toward in middle of the train are most likely to tumble off the track. Other research, meanwhile, shows that the very first vehicle (usually the lead locomotive) is most frequently the first car to derail.
The bottom line: Choose a car one or two back from the center of the train.
In fact, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data, “side collisions”—where the side of the train slams into another train, a bus or even the ground—are far more common than rear-end or head-on collisions, especially on train lines with heavy ridership. Since 2004, there have been 1,252 train incidents involving side collisions, compared with 206 rear-end collisions and 97 head-on collisions.
So forgo the views and settle into an aisle seat. And you might as well make it rear-facing, just for good measure.
To recap, the safest place to sit on a train is a rear-facing aisle seat toward the back of the train.
