  changeDayTo: Given a date, move along the date line in the given direction until we reach the
  desired day of week.
  
  The maths is a bit complex, here's an explanation.
  
  Think of a continuous repeating number line like:
  
  .. 5 6 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 1 ..
  
  We are essentially trying to find the difference between two numbers
  on the line in one direction (dictated by the sign of direction variable).
  Unfortunately Javascript's modulo operator works such that -5 % 7 = -5,
  instead of -5 % 7 = 2, so we need to only work with the positives.
  
  To find the difference between 1 and 4, going backwards, we can treat 1
  as (1 + 7) = 8, so the different is |8 - 4| = 4. If we don't cross the 
  boundary between 0 and 6, for instance to find the backwards difference
  between 5 and 2, |(5 + 7) - 2| = |12 - 2| = 10. And 10 % 7 = 3.
  
  Going forwards, to find the difference between 4 and 1, we again treat 1
  as (1 + 7) = 8, and the difference is |4 - 8| = 4. If we don't cross the
  boundary, the difference between 2 and 5 is |2 - (5 + 7)| = |2 - 12| = 10.
  And 10 % 7 = 3.
  
  Once we have the positive difference in either direction represented as a
  absolute value, we can multiply it by the direction variable to get the difference
  in the desired direction.
  
  We can condense the two methods into a single equation:
  
    backwardsDifference = direction * (|(currentDayNum + 7) - dayOfWeek| % 7)
                        = direction * (|currentDayNum - dayOfWeek + 7|  % 7)
    
     forwardsDifference = direction * (|currentDayNum - (dayOfWeek + 7)| % 7)
                        = direction * (|currentDayNum - dayOfWeek - 7| % 7)
    
    (The two equations now differ only by the +/- 7)
    
             difference = direction * (|currentDayNum - dayOfWeek - (direction * 7)| % 7)
  */
  changeDayTo: function(dayOfWeek, date, direction) {
    var difference = direction * (Math.abs(date.getDay() - dayOfWeek - (direction * 7)) % 7);
    return new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate() + difference);
  },
