Need a little help

Ok, time to help a sister out.....

1. Professional Cooldowns: Anybody know a good addon for managing professional cooldowns? Remembering to log into each of the toons that have a transmute, inscription research, whatever, is not really working for me.
   
   
   
   • Requirement: convenient, difficult-to-miss notification. Can't be some obscure calendar entry I'll never look at.
   
   
   • Requirement: must work across all alts on a single account
   
   
   • Nice to Have: twould be nice if it worked across all alts on multiple accounts
   
   
   • Stretch Goal: twould be even nicer if it stored its data server side (perhaps in a calendar entry, lol) so it'll work across multiple computers
   
   
   
   



2. Professional Leveling Ingredients: Looking for an addon that'll help me know if an item is useful for leveling a profession on one of my toons. An example would be Fel Iron. Amava farms it and wants to sell it for mass profit, but her Engineering cousin is looking for a couple stacks to level her profession. Would be great if there was an easy way for me to know if a given material would be useful to another toon before I sell it. NOTE: I've used BookOfCrafts, but its little popup windows became too much of a nusiance, and it didn't handle things properly when I dropped and changed professions.
   
   
   
   • Requirement:: convenient way to display to me whether an item is useful to another toon's profession or not.
   
   
   • Requirement:: must work across all alts on a single account
   
   
   • Nice to Have: twould be nice if it worked across all alts on multiple accounts. I'd be ok with this one if it wasn't some server-side data, and therefore was not super convenient across multiple computers.
   
   
   • Nice to Have: The interface should indicate whether the item will be used for a skill-up recipe, or the color of the recipe (orange, yellow, green, grey)
   
   
   • Stretch Goal: Allow me to specify which recipes I want to make to level up, and have it flag items for that. (ie, you have 4 orange recipes, but one is substantially cheeper than the others. would be great if it only flagged ingredients for the recipes I specify I want to use for leveling)
   
   
   
   



3. Auctioneer Database: Looking to get my auctioneer data into a more usable format. I find the LUA difficult to parse, as I cannot locate a spec for the file format. I'm specifically referring to the simple market value and trading volume data, and not necessarily too much of the auctioneer statistical data. I wrote a make-shift parser, that takes several assumptions about the file hardcoded into it, and I'm not really happy with it.
   
   
   
   • Best: program I can execute that'll take my auctioneer lua file and populate either a Mysql, OpenOffice Base, or MS Access database
   
   
   • Good: Java library that'll take in my auctioneer lua file and give me some objects with reasonable API to access the data
   
   
   • Ok: program I can execute that'll take my auctioneer lua file and output a CSV or some other easier to digest format
   
   
   • Yucky: file format spec for the auctioneer lua files, and I'll write my own damn parser
   
   
   
   



4. Shammy Totems: I'm not even looking for an addon to manage these at the moment. What I'm looking for is a way to disable the silly circles that the Blizzard default UI puts right near my Unit Frame to indicate which totems I've got down and their time remaining. I disabled all addons and still see the circles, thus confirming they're from the default UI. They are positioned directly over my X-Perl character buffs/debuffs and its hugely annoying. How do I disable these totem indicators from the default UI?

Help me with some or all of these, and I'll be your best friend.
