Answer
There are 11 songs in Super 8, mostly from the late 70s, which is when the movie is set. From ELO in the first scene to My Sharona playing at the end of the credits after the mini movie, it's a good soundtrack.

You can find the complete list of songs from Super 8, with notes on the scenes they were in and downloads for them here:

Why am I so scared to move back to Las Vegas?

The Altima

Back in 2010, I made the decision to move to Las Vegas from my hometown of Orlando, FL while I was really scared that things would not work out at first, they worked very well for me for awhile. I met what I thought was a great girl, got a great job with even better pay, a beautiful apt, the works

In August 2011, my ex and I went through a very nasty break up, in November 2011, I got let go from my job. In December 2011 my father died. I was forced to leave my apartment because being unemployed I couldnt pay the rent, the ex moved in with a new guy who had a criminal record (now has kids with him) In January I took a job, the only job I could get selling cars, and borrowed $600 from my uncle to rent a room from somebody. After one month that job fell through, and I was forced to return to Orlando

After returning my old job hired me back, so I got lucky there. Although the issues that made me leave in the first place are still here. My moms impulsive spending, resulting in me bailing her out every time the electric, water, cable companies, etc send shut off notices. She hoards too, our house is a complete wreck.

A lot of my friends have moved on in their lives and "dont have time" to hang out anymore so I have had to make (unsuccessfully) a whole new circle of friends. There is also my 17 yr old brother who is chronically truant, and sometimes I get woken up at 7 in the morning with my mom yelling at him that he missed the bus and I have to take him to school, among all other kinds of reasons as to why I left, my family was and is completely dysfunctional

As of right now I am saving money to move back, a good friend of mine in Vegas works as a limo driver and wants to put in a good word for me so I can get hired. He is also buying a house and when he moves into his house, plans to transfer his apt lease to my name when he moves out, and will only charge me $300 a month to stay there until I get on my feet

I was also thinking of attending school if I move back. I know if I move this time, I will be leaving with roughly 2.5-3x as much savings than my first move in 2010, and also a LOT less debt I owe. My car loan will have about $1100 left on the loan when moving day comes

Yet I am terrified of moving back. Mainly because I'm afraid the limo driving thing WONT work out, and I fear that if it doesn't, I'm going to run out of money before I find a job. I cannot take my job with me as it is a local company. I also fear finding a job will be even more difficult due to school.

Even though now I have connects in Vegas in terms of a job and living situation making things appear easier, are my fears unfounded? Am I still haunted by all the trauma I experienced the last 6 months I lived there?

I've never been so indecisive in my life, I just dont know what to do
In my current job I cannot afford to live on my own, even when my car is paid off

Answer
Your profile says you're still in Las Vegas. Trying to figure out what area you live in now that's so horrible you'd go back to 17% unemployment, uncertain living conditions and no job.

The getting let go from a job in Vegas happens a lot to a lot of people. I notice you have MORE money than when you left, and your loans are getting paid. Why go to somewhere with bad economy?

Bottom line: stay where you are, go to school, go where the job market hasn't bottomed out.

I have no idea what I'm going to do?

My house is in foreclosure. Electric, water and gas is on final notice. I lost my job and my husband fell 25 feet at work. He was an Iron Worker. Disabled now. We are screwed. Totally and absolutely screwed. He keeps being denied for disability. I can't find a job. What now? What now?

Answer
The first thing you need to do is hit your knees and turn your will and your life over to God, as you understand Him. It worked for me eighteen and a half years ago.

You see, I was down and out, deep into alcoholism and addiction and I couldn't see a way out. It was dark. I had a job, but lost it and I had four kids, a wife and I was dead broke after getting out of a 30 day in-patient treatment center.

I hit my knees, which I had done before, but this time was different. I let go of the reservation that somehow I was going to be able to control the situation myself. I guess I had considered myself unique, really, more like "terminally unique", as I was killing myself and the guilt, shame and disappointment of my actions weren't helping matters either.

What was I to do? It was horrible, but I remembered what I was told, "You're Worth It", "Never Give Up", "This Too Shall Pass" and "Happiness is a Product of Forgiveness" and this starts with yourself.

So I hit my knees and I prayed like I never prayed before, asking for help, for courage, for direction and for forgiveness and I swear to you, the most amazing thing happened. The next day, I went back to the job I thought I had lost, they gave me my job back and they handed me a $1000 check that came in, some bonus check that just showed up out of nowhere.

Talk about divine intervention - I was floored, I mean just amazed, incredibly grateful and was a true believer from that point forward.

The fact is, my life has improved (and mind you, I've had many ups and downs since then), but I've stayed clean and sober since that day I hit my knees.

When I look back on the very worst times where I had nothing in the cupboards and my kids, wife and I were painting addresses on curbs to make ends meet, it seems like just a ripple in the pond and the worst times truly did pass.

I learned you can't be in faith and fear at the same time, and worry, unfortunately is the only thing that if you guess right, it is only worse.

If you have family or friends, I would reach out to them. Also, in your area, there is likely some programs that could help you (some utility companies even have subsidy programs for situations like yours).

Maybe you could sell some of your belongings on Craigslist to muster up some money? Maybe the extra car you might not need or ??

By the way, my new bride is disabled and was denied multiple times for disability before we met, but she finally got it, so don't give up. It sounds like you have a situation that warrants it.

The biggest thing you can do for yourself, besides hitting your knees is to change your mindset into one that attracts what you want - it's called the law of attraction and since you have an Internet connection still, I'd recommend you watch a movie (you can find it on You Tube - just search The Secret Movie). Watch it tonight - it's called "The Secret" and it will inspire you and help you, I promise.

Trust me on this and don't ever, ever give up - Don't mistake "temporary for permanent" and never ever forget, "You're Worth It!"

I hope this has been helpful in some way. May God Bless You and Keep You Safe.

Is Obama crazy or is he BSing the people again with this electric car BS?

Q. Government Motors has come up with yet another boondoggle as big as the Obama stimulus. The Volt is the most ridiculous folly I have ever heard of. How many people in today or tomorrows economy can afford a 45,000$ car with a battery in it that cost 10,000$. It wont be like well my battery is no good got to go to Wal Mart and spend 40.00. They have got to be kidding me probably Bill Gates will have one or Steve Jobs but I dont see any ordinary people with good sense buying this boondoggle. You can buy a lot of gas for the 10000$ cost of a battery. This sounds like another Chevrolet Vega to me.

Answer
The Volt is not an Electric Car. It is a sometimes series hybrid that cannot even charge its batteries with the engine. http://www.insideline.com/chevrolet/volt/2011/no-revolting-the-volt-chevy-battery-does-not-recharge-while-driving.html

It is based on the same technology that GM used in its Electro-motive division from 1930 to 2005 to build diesel/electric locomotive engines.
