Make sure you have the best picture on your HDTV with PixelProtector

by

In the winter, when I can’t garden I often watch whatever gardening shows that are on, and I also enjoy watching nature documentaries. I have an HDTV so the experience of watching some of these types of shows is quite nice as you can see the true color of the plants, flowers and wildlife. In fact the picture is so good that it’s almost life like in quality.

If you have an HDTV as well you might be interested in purchasing PixelProtector . It’s a DVD that helps you analyze your televisions picture and helps you calibrate your televisions picture. I didn’t realize this but poor set up and calibration can actually degrade the quality of your TV’s image and even threaten the life of the unit.

PixelProtector can help you fix screen burn and dead pixels as well as help you set up your TV so it displays the highest quality picture.

You can use PixelProtector with LCD, Plasma and rear projection TV screens. Just follow the instructions as you play the DVD and within a short period of time I’m sure that you’ll notice that your picture is better than it ever was. The DVD sells for quite a reasonable price, especially when you consider that it could extend the life of your expensive TV set.

Visit PixelProtector.com to get more information about this wonderful TV set up and calibration tool.

This weeks Theme is Empty

Trees in January. Empty branches, barren of leaves.

We’ve got an empty beach type theme going on across our sites today. This photo was taken one January in the Beach area of Toronto.

For some reason I’ve always liked the look of trees, especially when they are free of leaves, or in the early spring when the leaf buds are tiny and bright green.

I missed Canada Blooms

by

Can you believe that I missed the biggest Horticultural event in Canada?

The “Canada Blooms” garden show happens every year in Toronto’s Convention center. It’s so big that if you really want to see all of the different landscapes that the show creators have put together, and stop at every single booth you need at least two days to see the show. Not to mention the fact that you could also attend speeches by TV gardening show celebs, master gardeners, and book authors.


You know when the show was? It was last weekend – March 7th through the 11th.

I had been keeping my eye out for news of the show but I guess I got too busy and forgot about it just when I should have been paying closer attention.

If I’d managed to attend the show I would have brought my camera so I could show you just how large the show really is. I would have also been able to show you through photos some of the new trends in gardening that are expected to be big hits this year.

I bet I would have had a whole week of articles to write about the show.

Ok, well, if you are still reading this blog next February can you remind me to go to the show next year? Believe me, with the wealth of information that I’d get at the show it’d be in your best interest to remind me to attend so that I can pass all that great info on to you, my regular readers.
