While mastering music, I'm trying as hard as possible to not listen to lyrics. Instead, I try to hear the voice as a bunch of sounds no different than say a single note organ or synthseizer part.

You've "mastered" music? Jesus, what an ego!

CD replication plants never make less than 1000 copies of a CD. If you order 500, there's another 500-700 on a shelf in hopes that you re-order, which will be all profit with no setup charges.

Or as my brother the electrician would put it...."check twice, die not at all."

Electrical work: If you are removing the main supply fuse always isolate the load. If not, the energy supplier may have to chisel a welded fuse from the holder.

most states in america recognize unwitnessed "holographic" wills. this means you need no attorney nor notary to have a court recognize (accept into probate) your will, however, having a witness helps. in the remaining states witnessed holographic wills are generally recognized. in order for a court to recognize a holographic will as a legal document it must be:
1. handwritten, not while under duress, and the document should specify that.
2. dated
3. signed by the living writer (testator) of the instrument.
to bypass the probate process establish a living trust for your assets.
having a will or trust, with an executor (for a will) and successor trustee (for a trust, after you die) you REALLY REALLY trust will save your family and friends a shitload of headache and grief.
edit: wait, that's not really a secrets, just stuff people generally don't know.

Most rules of thumb about the area population densities needed to support public transit and other services are made up, by people who have never done demand modeling.
Every "after" rendering made for an urban renewal project is statutorily required to include sidewalk cafes, "festive" lamppost banners, overdesigned street furniture, and a black man wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase.
