Local Developer Support - Q & A

Is there anyone who can help me understand the arguments, context and relationships in panels?
I understand that they can be used to make super dynamic pages where you can use a master template that pulls its specific content based on the url you're on.
It's a little confusing because of the different vocabulary they use. I'm sure that if someone could just show me a concrete example from top to bottom I would be able to grasp it.
I'm willing to bake cookies, buy beer and may even be willing to pay a couple hours worth of wages if someone can help me here.

thanks,
Marc

I had planned on attending the meeting tonight, but since the RSVP limit is full, Matt said I can't attend. I do have a project I am trying to work on (as a Drupal newbie), and need some assistance with the theme/layout customization for this, and would rather not wait until next month.

What I need is assistance/tutoring (i.e. help me figure out how to do this myself) with the following:
1) Create a theme or layout that will have the website banner in HTML text centered without any background color or other embelishment.

Hello,
I am working with the Calendar module, I am running Drupal 5.2 and the Calendar Module is 5.x - 1.7.

The issues is that when its 2pm EST (here in NJ), the calendar displays the next day. What do I need to do to get my calendar to display the correct time zone?

I checked a couple of discussion on the Drupal.org site but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

Any help would be awesome
