Laminar versus Turbulent Flow
Smooth running water flows faster than rough, turbulent water!
Let me explain.
Take your ordinary garden hosepipe attached to the tap, turn on the tap and watch the water flow freely. Slowly increase the flow from the tap and correspondingly the flow from the end of the hosepipe increases until suddenly the water no longer flows freely but has become turbulent. At this point you will also observe that LESS water now flows from the hosepipe than before! Why?
Be My Valentine

It’s amazing what a difference a year makes.., huh?
- ..And Who Said Our Love Wasn’t Hot… IT’S ON FIRE!
I’ll invite you to read my posting of last year on this subject, and then to comment on how my views have changed (or not)…
The Hardest Part Is Always The Beginning
Thursday, February 4th, 2010They say the hardest part is always the beginning and today this point was once again, clearly demonstrated.
I have a very dear friend (N) who is a natural born artist, one of those rare people that no matter what they turn their artistic hand too, it turns to gold… (figuratively speaking of course) yet if only she would start (literally) ‘turning it to gold’… (more…)
Tall Poppy Syndrome
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) is a pejorative term used in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand to describe what is seen as a levelling social attitude. Someone is said to be suffering from tall poppy syndrome when his or her assumption of a higher economic, social or political position attracts criticism, being perceived as presumptuous, attention seeking or without merit. Alternately, it is seen as a societal trait in which people of genuine merit are criticized or resented because the attention given them elevates them above their peers.
The Devil Is In The Detail

The Devil Is In The Detail
This is frequently interpreted as meaning ‘..the hard work is to be found in the detail..’ but I have another perhaps more ‘devilish’ explanation for it, than that.
In the pursuit of attaining that ‘detail’, a certain character trait is allowed to emerge. You become single minded or myopic and forsake all others. You become irrational, short of temper and are prepared to even cheat if needs be, all in the name of ‘detail’. In fact YOU become a downright little Devil yourself…
So as opposed to thinking the Devil Is In The Detail, it should read The Devil Is In You When Pursuing The Detail.

The Early Bird Catches The Worm
…or at least that is how the saying goes. However, I have a different take on that…
The Early Bird Pisses Off The Neighbours!
How early is early? Is 7am to be considered early, is before sunrise early or is 4:45am early? Needless to say ‘early’ is a relative term but no matter your reference point, 4:45am IS EARLY!

Here’s someone who is able to ‘rubberneck’ without much ado… and without causing carnage… but he’s a BIRD…!
So what makes us HUMANS. think we can do the same…?
