@theking2 - yes, this is more or less what I use. I came here looking for an implementation and after I found it lacking, I just wanted to warn people away (assuming they are looking for a correct implementation). If you continue looking elsewhere, you'd find the implementation that you posted, posted in many other places - hopefully with a good explanation of what it does and why it is good, which I saw no need to duplicate again.

excellent. I just happened to stumble on your gist first. Hence my two cents.

Awesome! it works!
