Ok, I didn't post these questions to get berated by the school police. I am a person of good character and would not post such a thread full knowing that it was wrong in doing so. It is perfectly ok to ask for outside help on this assignment. With that said, if someone could truly help me, and not use the board to flame, I would much appreciate it. Thanks!
