Continued from page 23 bigger set. The wisdom among home theatre geeks is that you should always buy a television one size larger than you think you need for your space. After five years, I feel I bought too small. I am planning on watching Lawrence of Arabia soon via Netflix on my TV and 40 inches won’t cut it for those vistas of sand and sky and Peter O’Toole’s blue-eyed gaze. ❚ Why I won’t buy it: My current TV works well. Buying a new TV after a mere five years of use with the old set feels wasteful. My girlfriend would be appalled. ❚ Why you might want one: Wide-screen televisions have never been cheaper, wider, thinner or more featured than now, and
according to tech reviewers, viewing quality has improved significantly over a broad range of brands and price points. My set cost roughly $900 five years ago, on sale, and it does not do full 1080p video. Buyers today have numerous choices among LCD, plasma and LED sets, from discount brands to luxury models, that feature 3D screens and builtin apps for Internet-based content, social media and browsing. If you’re in the market now, consider yourself blessed. Have any tech or gadget items on your Christmas list that you covet, but won’t allow yourself to buy?

Richmond blood donor clinics will partner with the Richmond Food Bank Society for Canadian Blood Service’s third annual Bleed & Feed. The program, with Food Banks BC, asks residents to become miracle workers by bringing a non-perishable food item for local food banks when they give blood. “Unfortunately, the need for blood never takes a holiday and neither does hunger,”
