Not that odd; it's the second thing I noticed about the site. (The first
thing was that it's really looking better.) The other responses are
probably sufficient to solve this problem (I haven't pondered them very
much).

You've set your #navbar to width:195px to match your lighthouse image,
but your #content is set with a margin-right of 11em. Nothing wrong with
using ems for sizes (except, that is, when you're trying to match images
sizes :-( ), but the two are bound to come into conflict. What happens
in IE when you change #content to margin:0 0 0 195px?

You asked for that: #navbar {height:600px;}. Try height:100%.

Minor detail: I notice your hands images have alt="Left Hands" and
alt="Right Hands", respectively, which miss the point of the images in
the first place. Better to have something like alt="hands in chains" and
alt="hands without chains".
Pain-in-the-neck detail: The drop shadow on the scissors is on the
lower-right (suggesting light coming from roughly the direction of the
lighthouse), but the drop shadow for the nearby letters are lower-left
(meaning there's another, conflicting light source in the upper right).
I know it's a pain because it's not as easy to change as the alt texts
(plus in a week you'll probably have the text and scissors both
removed), but it 's something I noticed.
HTH. GL. Looking good, Al!
