Silent Giant

It serves such a great purpose.. and has an overwhelming presence.. yet it doesn't make a sound. Most commuters into the city pass the Lagerwey wind turbine while speeding along the Gardiner/Lakeshore (or in the case of rush hour traffic, while they're 'parked' on the Gardiner/Lakeshore).

If they took the opportunity to see the turbine up close, they would have a different impression of this marvelous beast. From afar the turbine looks more purposeful than majestic. Standing directly under this 'silent giant' is a completely different experience.

It's the sort of feeling you get when you stand under the CN Tower for the first time - but in this case, there are gigantic spinning blades cutting the air mere metres from your face. At night, this imagery becomes more daunting as the white blades shimmer in the moon.

It can provide power to roughly 250 homes; but to me, its presence is just as impressive.

Acne Help on May 29, 2006 at 11:10 PM

Acne is a very difficult aspect of being a teenager. It's hard to feel confident about doing out with friends or going on dates when your face has blemishes. You don't have to just live with it though; there are ways to prevent and treat acne.

Acne is the term for blackheads, whiteheads and pimples that occur on the face, neck, back and chest. Many people believe that acne is caused by eating greasy foods, chocolate, lots of soda, or having dirty skin. However, this is not true as it is mostly caused by oil glands that become overactive during puberty because of hormone stimulation these. The severity of the acne will depend on the hormonal reaction. Acne can also be caused by vitamin deficiency. Adults can get acne from these same causes.

The number one prevention of acne is to wash your face. Washing your face will get rid of oil buildup and dead skin, which can clog your pores and cause acne. Gently wash your face twice a day using a mild soap. Do not scrub hard. You need to be sure you wash your face after sweating a lot. Sweating can clog your pores. Be sure you don't overwash your face though. Overwashing can dry out your skin and irritate acne you already have, making the situation worse. If you have acne on your back or chest, try not to wear tight clothes because the clothes will rub against the acne and make it worse.
