Calixica

I'm transfering from Palomar College and I want to stay in So California. Even though those schools probably aren't the best known music universities, I'd like to know which one is better. Or, if you have knowledge of any music conservatories that offer a major in music I'd love to know. Also, I'm thinking of focusing on a Music Education major to try to become a University professor in the future. Thanks for your help!

My car is (body-wise) pretty beat up, but my trouble is in the engine. I've got two problems: 1) When shifting to 5th the gear wont engage and now makes a grinding noise if left in 5th...before the gear used to pop out when I was driving, now it just grinds. reverse works well, but I have to double pump the clutch to get it to engage...it's fine driving in all other gears; nice & smooth. 2) I had the car parked in my garage and upon trying to run it, I have some white smoke coming from a metal casing right in front (attached to) the engine. It's hot and smells like something is burning. I never had that problem previously, it occured only after being parked...Can anybody give me some insight as to the problem? Maybe somewhere I can get some more info? Thanks!

Well, my car blew a headgasket and now has a rod knock, the exterior and rest of the motor are in pretty good shape. I want to sell it, maybe somebody can use it for parts, but I don't know where to go. A friend recommended Craig's list, but I'd like to know if there are more options. I also have a 90 Toyota Celica that I can sell for parts as well. Any ideas to how I can get the most money out of these cars? I need as much cash as I can get so that I can buy a new car, one that's driveable at least. Thanks!

Wether it be using a computer software, or phone cards...I want to call a Mexican landline at the cheapest rate possible...
