You have lost some quality on the header, maybe you can save it optimized for web, and will still load faster. Site looks great, but maybe a little bit overcrowded with ads?
I think the header size could be reduced by 50 - 75%... Also: make the lines on your bars lighter to make the font easier to read.
Overall, I would say great job! I like how the top graphic 'bleeds' into the frame around your main area... very nicely done. The header does look a bit grainy though, although I didn't really notice it at first.
