[ciapug] Data Validation

[Tony Bibbs]

I keep a class with a bunch of static validation methods in it and then 
let all my model object call those static methods in their validation 
method.  The validation, to me, is easy, we spend more time figuring out 
slick ways of reporting those errors back to the user.
