Matt, could I suggest a sans-serif font for your design? Serif fonts (i.e., Times New Roman) look awkward on the web.

Font fixed...I should know better...same link as before.

I have updated my selection; the previous background did not work well with text, and this version shows the special tricks I used for the background....

If selected, I'll work on some buttons (maybe some collaboration on that one).  I also need to double check the code...don't remember how nasty it is under the hood....

...and that's why I'm voting Democrat in the primary...there's absolutely nothing major at stake in our county/state's republican election (pres, gov, major judges) are already sealed.

Uhh, I think the dunce cap should be bestowed upon you Dan. Vic is absolutley correct. There is no other Republican on the ballot besides McCain.

Change that to "will be no other Republican on the ballot in November besides McCain"....in Primary season, the republicans are still there...

Indiana - three years' math courses, concluding with Algebra II for std. diploma, pre-calculus for a "core 40 degree", or what gets you into college.  Government and Economics are required regardless.

Math path at my HS is pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, algebra II, pre-calculus, calculus.  Most everyone has reached algebra II by graduation, many into pre-calculus.

This is a great resource for current Weather Channel information, especially the music playlists.  I've been a fan of the current music, and having a list of the music that has played has really gone a long way in building my smooth jazz collection.  -Matt

Okay, it's now explanation time!  Remember this quote?

Say that I'm receiving $38 in overpayment then suddenly take that away and make me pay $59.

...here's the story behind that.

I have signed up for summer courses at university...four 8 week courses @ 3 credit hours each = 12 credit hours.  12 credit hours on the internet (completely on the web...no face-to-face) ran $1,392.  I had a $1,430 grant to cover it...hence the $39 overpayment (any non-tuition specific aid is given to you in cash).  All of a sudden, on the day above, they added some fees (still can't get a straight response about what it was) and jacked me up $97, hence the payment of $59.  Argh.

But it gets better.

I found two scholarships...one $300 one and another that should pay for all tuition up to $1,500.  I have applied for both...and probably will get both.  Therefore, I will not be paying a dime, and university could pay up to that $1,430 to me (for books and other supplies).

Still not looking forward to $750 of certification exams, though....
