Ok, I have composed a schematic in Paint :-) (if anyone can recommend any
FREE, commonly-used schematic creators, please do). I will just re-iterate
that I am measuring the voltage at the positive end of the rectifier (when it
gets converted to DC). On a better note.. measuring the AC inputs to the
rectifier (right from the transformer) don't change when I connect the
regulator. If that means anything. And I will copy the link to maxim's site
again below for reference (since I didn't stick the regulator circuit in
there).

Thank you again for all your help,

Jai
