Hi Jeff and Tim,

Tim - Thanks for chiming on what you have.

Jeff - Awesome that you were able to figure out what the East Pointers were
likely using and thanks so much on all the additional information on
options.  It both feels daunting and was also is the info that I was
looking for.  I'll need to dig a bit deeper before heading down this route
but I love the effect!

:) Emily
