I can't find a decent search engine that can list all the colleges and there rankings concerning the field of English/Literature/etc. How can I easily anrrow down my choices? I'm looking in the US and the British Isles.

Please give specific opinion and reasonings behind them. Are you a purist? Do you prefer word for word, artisitc license, modern interpretation? What are some of you favorite and least favorite adaptations (i.e. 2006 version of Pride & Prejudice was great because..., etc.)? What is your background (i.e. student, teacher, average Joe, etc.)? (This is for a research paper, detailed answers very appreciated and links to information even more appreciated. Thank you.)

We are expecting our second child and need to purchase a larger vehicle. This is what I want: four door, 30 miles to the gallon, seven seats with captain chairs in the middle row, no more than six years old, ac vents in the back, and I prefer to not have a minivan. Do you know what kind of car I want or where online I can find out?

My sister has a HUGE blackhead in her ear and it has been there for probably about a year. How do we get rid of it? It is too awkward to pop, I have tried a bobby pin and pulling out the surface with a needle, not damaging the skin. I think it's getting bigger, too.

I spilt sangria (wine if you didn't know) on my khakis. Anyone know how to get it out?

It looks like broken cappillaries or something. It was just one tiny spot, like it filled a pore with blood or something. I tried "breaking" it and sqeezing the "blood" (i assume it is blood, but it never turned brown) but it made it worse. Now I have three tiny pore sized spots, making it much more visable. I can't afford a dermatologist. I've had it for four years or so. Don't know how or when it got there in the first place. How do I get rid of it?

Do you have to make your bed everyday? Do you have to pick up your dirty underwear? Do you hang up an outfit after trying it on and deciding to not wear it? What is proper? Are there levels of maid? Is there etiquette concerning maids?

It seems they are either too big or too small, but I can't even tell which they are. I want one that doesn't hurt when I sit, I can't feel when moving, doesn't leave a big line in my thigh, doesn't show above my waistband, and covers my hair area so it looks sexy for my hubby. Sorry so graphic, but I am very specific.

I am looking for tenants for a strip center and am running out of ideas. What do you have in your town?

What colors, styles (ie thick eyeliner, no eyeliner, natural, shimmery, tan, pale,etc)? And I really would prefer not your opinion. I would like to know what you have seen and heard on TV, in magazines, etc. Oh, and I am in my late 20's! Egad!

We moved into a house that had gardens ect at one point, but has overgrown for about 5 years. We waited a year to see what grew, nothing too great except bulbs which are up now. I am pulling out the rock borders. What do I do then? Can I move the current plants/bushes etc? How do I decide if the trees are too big for the house?

Can he learn verbs, colors, numbers? What concepts are too difficult, generally, for a 15 month old? What's the best way to teach him?

I put my cute little Irish outfit on my avatar because I love Irish stuff. Now that it is after St Pat's, is it a fashion faux pas? Is it like white shoes after Labor Day?

It seems that sometimes the same day my back will go out of alignment again. What can I do to strengthen my back so it stays put?
