3D television and what is the origin of discomfort

3D television is a great thing, especially for the people who weared glasses half a life. Indeed, when I looked through the glasses to the screen, the nice picture of the shaped figures sprang into the view. Some people are talking about the problem of the vision, that looks layered, that is a little blurred on the corners, but this is only temporily. The childhood problem of 3D television is easily understood by the people, who wear glasses in everyday life. Not every glasses works well, in addition to different lenses for different eyes (right versus left) the problem of astigmatism is very important and the problem of the ceparation between the centers of the lenses. That is why I was visiting my physician (optometrist) every year in the childhood till the vision is finally stabilized. She measured carefully the distance between the pupils, the slightes possible askew view and finally the pharmasist was able to manufacture exactly what I need. The same is true for TV. Not just the modern glasses for 3D TV are looking ugly and nonfashion, they should be adopted for everybody's eyes. So very soon the long lines of people will be standing to optometrists offices, looking for prescription of the 3D glasses. It is interesting to  note, that wearing of glasses over glasses is very bad and now the persons with the bad eyes will be trying to make the additional set of spectacles with polarized lenses (3D demand) and with different dioptries for every eye to have the same clear and cristall view the modern spectacles can give for everybody.

Crosscountry skiing in Ithaca

There are two types of skiing - skiing at mountain resort and cross-country. The first one is expensive and more to spend time, not for real sporting hard work. The crossc-ountry skiing is not for lazy people, because the gravitational force of the Earth, that pulling you down from the mountain at mountain resort is not helping you now. Sometimes it works against you, when you climb a hill, sometimes allows some relaxation, when you race down the hill, but on average, like in running, you are working hard to complete the distance. In Russia this tipe of sport is extremely popular among all because of a three snow months. In Ithaca in normal year it is possible to catch 3-4 weekends, when the trail is good. Again, at mountain resort the people are making the artificial snow, but nobody is making artificial snow for cross-country and now the weather alone is responsible for strong enough snow layer to run the distance competing with the seconds on the chronometer. In 2007 I found an exellent place to run - Poddunk center near the Ithaca, on route 96 north. If the sun is shining brightly and the snow is good enough to cover all the remnants of the farmers crop in the fields, the trail will be in an exellent condition and in this case the distance is especially fun to run. The good trail means I am not thinking about where to put the ski on the next step and all the efforts are concentrated onto the wide step and stronger pushes with ski sticks. At those moments, when I running down the hill, I feel myself very excited about the velocity I can develop and how strong I am and how strong are my pushes. If the weather is not so good and windy, the trail is normally half covered by snow delivered by wind and more efforts are necessary to guess the trail with the ski and less fun remains. Still, the exersize is good and after couple of hours, what corresponds to 10-20 km depending on conditions of trail the feeling of an exellent outdoor relaxation persists.

Grocery shopping in finger lakes region

Grocery shopping is something everybody is doing every day, and many are interested in local farmers production. These are good quality, definetly organic and fun to shop cabbages, eggs, redish, potatoes, pumpkins. Especially reddish, since in retailer shops the black reddish and white reddish are rear guests, and for those who has a strong habit for it (like Russians) it will be quite a problem to check many local farmers markets to buy some. Among the big retailers the best is Wegmans, followed by Tops and others. Actually due to great choice Wegmans is the most popular despite the higher price compare to Tops. Both have one more important advantage - they work overnight, this is especially good when I had have sleeplesness, I used to walk to the nearest shop at midnight and buy stuff. Couple of hours being spent walking and choosing and buying and bringing the grocery  back, the sleeplesness was over and morning was bright without any sleep problems. Compare to Wegmans in Tops the prices are lower and  cakes, juices, milk cartoons  are of different style (for example, in Tops I bought unsulted buttermilk that was possible to buy previously just in ShopRite near Atlantic City - for a person from Moscow unsalted buttermilk is really a great drink, as well as unsalted cottege cheese). But in Wegmans the real rye bread is present, with the quality outweighting the Moscow "black bread". This Kostenbrot is sold in huge loafs or in smaller size loafs and has an exellent taste. The rest of grocery shopping is similar in both Wegmans and Tops, but in the smaller retailer shops not all the variety is present.
