Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	The Company calculates its income tax expense by estimating the annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income at the end of the period. The Company records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax rate at 0% and 0%, respectively. The Company had no income tax expense on its $1,434,296 pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized no income tax expense based on its $158,901 pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense. The Company recognizes penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses.
