I seen the mid-season finale for the Walking Dead TV show a few hours ago.[spoiler ahead]It was quite surprising to see the zombie, or "walker" influx toward the last few moments.. and even more surprising to see Sophia arise as the last of the dead from the barn, even after reading spoilers before the episode aired (I'm a huge Walking Dead nut, what can I say.)[end spoiler]I'm quite pleased with

Not impressed by the introduction of HST into Ontario.We will NOT be raising our prices; we will be absorbing the added costs for our customers - which only means we can bring in less product to offset the loss.Thanks, politicians. I at least hope they enjoy the bonuses they'll be giving themselves after gouging the rest of us.

Now, both Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper were pronounced dead over the weekend.On May 16th, one of heavy metal's most loved and respected vocalists, Ronnie James Dio, passed away due to complications with stomach cancer. Dio was the lead singer of bands such as

This week, one of metal's best front men passed away; Peter Steele of Type O Negative.From a statement posted on the Type O Negative website by Josh, Kenny and Johnny, suspected cause of death is heart failure (many sites out there, including Wikipedia and IMDB were listing this as actual cause of death, even before his death was confirmed by the remaining members of Type O Negative).From

MSNBC made an interesting documentary about retail-theft rings, called "Boosting for Billions".It basically outlined the overall impact of retail theft and how it not only screwed over big-box stores. It affects everyday people, like you and I.Besides taking a large chunk of profit from big-box stores like Wal-Mart and Walgreens (US), it drives up the cost we end up paying on our everyday stuff,

Anyone know of any decent rock / metal bands from the Middle East / Asian regions (that aren't already mainstream or in the public eye)? I'm hugely interested in these region's music, as they seem to have a different approach or sound to their tunes than the North American / European bands I currently frequent.Offhand, I know of only a few bands from these areas: Salem (Israel), Orphaned Land (
