Thanks! I was trying to capture what I understood about it at the time 
and do it in a way that would also be replicable down the road. I should 
have put it up on the blog, but I generally won't put it out there if 
it's not 100% and this one has a few rough edges that I haven't taken 
the time to clean up.

Will
