I thought that I would be able to find a web site with the wind tunnel

that I'm sure I've seen of this; however, for this evening at least, I
must
admit that I have indeed struck out.

settle for a couple of good practical rules of thumb. If I happen to find
anything, I'll be sure to post it--or a link as appropriate.
