Reading piano sheet music...?

Okay...so I see this symbol that looks like a straight horizontal line with a tiny bump on the far right side...what does that symbolize? Also, what do the two dots mean?

Update:

http://www.timtang.com/ttt/dkc/hilleary/piano.html the symbol is on the far left key

    it says that I need to log in to view that page...Any other website with it?

    Two 'bumps' at the end mean to Repeat the section.

    -m♪tt

    EDIT:

    If you mean this:

    -.- (like a full line over the dot)

    That is a Sustained Accented note.

    If it Arcs over the dot (- (like that except pointed towards the note. That is a fermata, it means to hold the note for as long as you wish.

    Hope this helps, wish I had a better picture...or a picture at all.
