A bunch of little things (and a couple of big ones)

Here is a list of small design things that would be nice to fix. I know some of these are tiny, but I thought I'd mention them.

1. Look at ECHO's home page. The person I booked today and took payment from isn't listed under "next launch."
2. We talked about giving specific types of logins to different people. I'd like to create a manager login at the least that has access to trip information, but can not edit anything. It would be really cool if we could limit them to specific trip(s). For example, I'd like it if our Rogue manager could see all of the guide schools and the Rogue trips and that's all. Am I dreaming here? I'd also like to create a login type where there are no access to the admin functions.
3. Some outfitters have government fees that are a percent of trip cost. Could we change "items" to include "percent of trip" and "percent of total?"
4. Could we add a discount type that takes a percent off of adult (or default) prices only.
5. I've noticed when sending an email that all attachments are shown at the bottom. Before only the attachments that went with that trip were shown. Did something change?
6. This might be a big one (and even attached to the triggers part). We would really like to be able to edit the default email that is sent with the invoices. We'd also like to change the reply-to.
7. When you create a new reservation, the word "trip" is used instead of "launch" on that page.
8. We'd like to edit some of the information shown on the invoice and even be able to "check" off some of the things on the invoice page so that they aren't shown on the invoice. For example, on the Tuolumne we never need flight information, so it would be nice to not show that.
9. On the invoices, Government use fees are always shown last. Could we make it so that payments (or things done chronologically) are shown last?
10. Could we make the ECHO logo larger on the invoice?
11. On the trip roster, if someone wants 50 paddle boat and 50% inflatable kayak, there is no zero shown for oar boat. So it shows "-50-50" instead of "0-50-50."
