I don't know if you've seen The Hangover, but I can't imagine aspiring to replicate the weekend those guys have, what with a live tiger in the bathroom, a live baby of mysterious origin, and a missing groom. But apparently, Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas thinks this pop culture reference will resonate with bachelors.
It's offering a Hangover-themed hotel package called Ultimate Hangover.

Severance packages are like parting gifts from an employer that say 'sorry things didn't work out.' Forty-five percent of you said you'd volunteer to give up your job if your boss asked for volunteers, and if that were reality you'd be rewarded with a severance package.
Because most companies use their own formulas for determining severance, it's difficult to predict how much severance you'd get should a pink slip come your way.

Starting today, Amazon has launched a new environmentally-friendly initiative called Frustration-Free Packaging. What that means is that we can get products in new, easy-to-open packaging that's delivered in a recyclable cardboard box — therefore eliminating the need for extra packaging and annoying plastic cases (that I can hardly open anyway).
Already, 19 products from companies like Microsoft, Transcend, and Fisher-Price are working with Amazon to use less packaging when their products are shipped.

When I saw my brother over the holidays he kept going on and on about how he has NO time for food. He even had the nerve to say that if he could take a pill instead of eating, he would prefer taking the pill! Besides breaking my foodie heart, I got worried about him eating way too much Taco Bell and In-N-Out.

Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa has designed fruit juice packaging that literally illustrates what fruit the juice came from. Not only is it a contemporary concept, but it's also a nice reminder of where fruit juice is actually derived. How do you feel about the designs?

I recently told you about my brother who has "NO time for food." He works a lot and doesn't have a girlfriend, so it's up to me to make sure his diet doesn't consist of Taco Bell and In-N-Out. To surprise him I'm sending a care package, that you helped put together, full of healthy snacks, tasty treats and good almost-homemade food.

Looks like the Grammys wish for a secretary of the arts won't be coming true anytime soon. The Senate voted 73-24 yesterday to ensure the arts will not receive any of President Obama's stimulus package.
The amendment will not only hit museums, theaters, and art centers, but also other leisure-loving places like swimming pools, zoos, and community parks.
