  AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
  5 L Pull-ups
  15 35# Dumbbell Power Cleans

  7 rounds + 5 L Pull-ups

  This is the first WOD with L Pull-ups I’ve ever done. My forearms and Biceps hurt quite a bit.

  Ontario backs attempt to convert coal plants for biomass 

  CANOE — CNEWS – Politics: Ontario backs attempt to convert coal plants for biomass.

  What’s biomass you ask?

  Biomass, as a renewable energy source, refers to living and recently dead biological material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production. In this context, biomass refers to plant matter grown to generate electricity or produce biofuel, and it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibers, chemicals or heat. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. It excludes organic material which has been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum.

  Canada needs to pursue things like this, even if it doesn’t turn out to be a viable energy source, we need to try.

  Ambient Music Links 

  Yesterday I tweeted that I was looking for ambient music.

  And Gurdonark replied with this list:

  • stillstream.com
  • hypnos.com
  • darkwinter.com
  • intelligentmachinery.net

  I gave StillStream a shot yesterday and had great results. Sometimes it’s just a bit too quiet working at home and I find normal music is too distracting.

  Have I missing any links or streams?

  [update:] Gurdonark makes music as well, check it!
