Denny Hamlin Injured 3 Weeks Before Daytona 500
With the kick-off the the 2010 NASCAR racing season just weeks away, a non racing injury has rocked the NASCAR world. The driver of the # 11 Toyota Fed-Ex car, Denny Hamlin suffered an injured that may throw his entire season, he tore his ACL while playing basketball. He has opted to wait until the end of the season to have it repaired (which could always change if he gets replaced for not being able to preform well). He has not disclosed the extent of the injury, but ouch that is a hurtful injury. We'll all have to see what happens when the season kicks off with the Daytona 500 on Feb 14th.
3 Tips To Save $$$ Grocery Shopping
According to Motley Fool, there are very easy steps we can all take to save money on our grocery bill.
1) Bust out you chopping board; we spend extra money for the convenience of pre-chopped, pre-sliced, and pre-packaged foods. Bagged veggies are a great example, extra dollars are paid to have our broccoli tops cut off and bagged. Buy a head of broccoli and cut and baggie the tops yourself. (I am so guilty of this.)
2) Watch shelf labels; sometimes buying bigger isn't always a better deal, and sometimes it is. Pay attention to the price tags on the shelf, they break down the price per ounce for the product. For example a 20 oz bottle of soda for $1.39 sounds ridiculous when a few isles over a two litre bottle of pop can be just $.99.
3) Go store brand, not name brand. A huge amount of money can be saved by buying generic. Most of the time it is exactly the same product (or extremely similar) but at a lower price because extra money isn't added on to cover advertising and fancy packaging costs.

The Saints Go Marching On!
For the first time ever the New Orleans Saints will be going to the Superbowl! Last night was a edge-of-your-seat game, and I'm not even a Vikings fan. I did want to see Bret go to the Superbowl one last time, then see if he would decide to finally retire or not. But after a tied up game all four quarters then losing to a field goal during overtime, we will never know that scenario. It will still be interesting to see what his plans are. An awesome thing for the Saints, a great Cinderella story, definitely a boost that the folks in New Orleans needed. So the big game will feature the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.

5 Foods You Wouldn't Think Can Help You Lose Weight, But Do.
Like many of you I packed on a few pounds over the holidays, and made my New Years Resolution to take it off. Which means a painfully boring diet, none of the stuff that I love any more. I have sworn off soda, candy, chocolate, fast food, and the hardest one ever... doughnuts.
With all those things off my list I have been having a hard time trying to find good healthy food to eat until now. According the Mens Health Magazine these following foods are yummy and helpful in your weight loss battle.
1) Full-Fat Cheese; a great source of protein, and doesn't raise your LDL (bad) cholestrol.
2) Pork Chops; has 5 times more selenium (linked to lowing risk of prostate cancer) than beef and twice more then chicken. Also preserves muscle while losing weight.
3) Iced Coffee; reduces appetite, increases metabolism, and gives you a shot of antioxidants.
4) Grapefruit; people who ate 1/2 a fruit 3 times a day lost 4 pounds in 12 weeks. It is thought that the acid in grapefruits slows digestion, keeping you full longer.
5) Milk; Instead of fruit juice grab moo juice for breakfast. Both have the same amount of calories, but milk has more protein which makes you feel fuller longer.

6 Things To Avoid At A Job Interview
6 helpful tips from the Business Insider on what not to do at a job interview.
1) Make a great first impression.
*Check the email address on your resume, is it unprofessional? i.e. snugglebunnies@fakeemail.com. Email addresses are free, set one up special for professional use.
2) Don't over-exaggerate on your resume.
*Employers know the difference between "attended staff meetings" and "participated in co-leading team events".
3) Don't pile on the perfume
* A little dab will do ya.
4) Don't be needy
* Be available without being tooooo available.
5) Don't flirt with the interviewer
* No matter how much of a hottie they are, an interview is not the time to tell them.
6) Don't already have one foot in the door.
* Confidence is good arrogance is bad, don't assume you got it until you got it.
