+1. Looks good. However, I have a request to make. It is really hard to get the "big picture" when we only see small bits and pieces here and there. I think it would be helpful for everyone if you created your "image" and then we could critique it all at once instead of bits and pieces. Sometime I think we don't get what you're trying to do because we can't see where it fits into the big picture. :) I know you're just asking for help here but this is something I've been meaning to mention to you. Thanks a bunch and keep up the awesome work, Cody A.W.
