 I have posted a worked example at http://glmm.wikidot.com/examples ,
specifically

http://glmm.wikidot.com/
http://glmm.wikidot.com/local--files/examples/biglogist.pdf

  I was able to see some relevant bits of Raudenbush and Bryk by
going to Google books, finding the book, and searching for "skewed",
the 7th hit, on p 55, is worth looking at.
