Okay, when I got done reading this thread, I put together a 'How To' with actual instructions, because up until today, I was never really that sure how to do the Rico layout either, because all of the descriptions are so vague, and as you can tell from this thread, a lot of people simply can't agree on the 'traditional' way to properly preform the layout.  So thanks to Miffy1980 and ccrider I finally had a step by step procedure, to stumble through, even though some the of terms were incorrect, and it's still somewhat vague.
So I took the liberty of doing a full write up, that literally holds your hand through the layout, because I know that's the way I need things explained to me, so that I can fully grasp them, and it comes complete with pictures (kind of) to illustrate everything going on.

Hope this helps, if I made a mistake anywhere please let me know, I'll do my best to correct the issue.
