However, the company hosting it seems to have gone away, so I'll point interested Mac users to Noisy.app on google code: http://code.google.com/p/noisy/ It does basically the same thing.

It's no good putting on relaxation music when you want to study because you may relax too much. Although my first CD was designed for very deep relaxation (would be good to do BEFORE you study) I am currently working on a more upbeat CD with brain entrainment for study. This will help get the mind in the right mental state. Mozart is supposed to be very good for studying. It’s important to find the right music – you want your brainwaves to be in the right state!

I love anything with the piano in it. I would also agree with chris, classical music is also one of my favorites as well. Sometime I do get a little to relaxed, and fall asleep, but that happens usually when I work late into the night. Hey Shane,

But it also depends on what I am studying too. Beathoven is a great tool for the mind. There as been links to greater brain activity when listening to Beathoven while studying. Not sure how true that is, but I think I heard it somewhere as a research. My favorite music to listen while studying is classical music. But it also depends on what I am studying too.

For me, I only use noise cancelling headphones when I'm listening to awesome music, be it motivational or classic. It' really keeps me focused and takes the attention (and strain) away from my ears, while I work. Trust me, listening to wonderful music without noise from your dog barking can be a world of a difference!

HGH is not a steroid. It's found naturally in the body. Banning it as a performance enhancer is like banning caffeine, sugar, chewing tobacco, or aspirin as a performance enhancer. Shooting HGH is passe now because it can be obtained legally over the counter in a homeopathic oral spray form which does not involve needles. There are about 30 companies selling it over the internet, the most popular with athletes is 21stcenturyhgh.com. Get over it. HGH is here to stay, like caffeine, sugar, chewing tobacco, and aspirin.
