Is 2012 the real end of our World...???

Some time ago, i got interested in the end of the world. Er, what i mean to say is "I wanted to know what exactly the hoax spread during my school times that 2012 would be our last year on earth". Really widespread that even NASA released some press releases that 2012 is not the end of the year. Some media people even preached that 2012 the end of the world is little bit late and is postponed towards the end of the 21st century and so on., many stories and silly humors, etc etc etc., . So I was really interested in knowing what these things are and went to one of my friend's home where I can browse about these things through the internet. At that time i was aw-struck to read from a website that stated 'periodically some angels of God came to Earth to visit us and make the things in the Earth CLEAN. They wander in some planets which are not under any solar system control. they were called "Annunakis"[link here] (about which you can even search in WIKIPEDIA and also Google it)'. After this I just went to search about other possibilities Earth could be destroyed or how end of the Earth is predicted like that and just went on....

Now come back from the past. that happened really 4 years before. Today when i was just skimming the newspaper(for sure i didn't read the paper) in the morning. suddenly i saw this article[link here]. I was just aw-struck to read this article that stated "Nomad Planets Wandering In Milky Way"(our Galaxy). Why? Just because the article which i had studied about the "Annunakis" flashed in my mind. I really got terrified to know about this. and many connections i could make. Some of them are : 1. Annunakis traveled in the wandering planets which the researchers have found now that many wandering planets are there in our Galaxy system. 2.What i really thought after getting to know about this was, "those are just a HOAX". but now i really felt that there may be some possibility of such a planet in existence with Annunakis in it.(purely its my thinking about the existence). After all these cross - thoughts, I just started to google about this. but now there are many websites illustrating these things even some hosted animation too. Right now i really think very weird about this. But i too have a doubt, "will the Earth would END at 21-12-2012..??".

Also take a look on this link[link here]

Awesome Sites About Old School Cartoons


With the advent of Pixar and other computer generated animation studios, the art of ink-and-paper animation is quickly becoming a relic. For generations of kids, however, these cartoons were a Saturday morning ritual that couldn’t be skipped. Each decade came with its own specific style of cartoon, from the animal antics of early Disney to the superhero craze of the 1980′s.  If you’re feeling nostalgic, here are ten great sites dedicated to the cartoons we all grew up with.

  1. Old-Cartoons.Com – Few sites can rival the exhaustive resources of this site; links to related shopping, background information and video clips from hundreds of old school animated series place Old-Cartoons.Com at the top of the heap.
  2. RetroStatic.Com – Not just limited to the cartoons intros we knew and loved in the 80′s and 90′s, RetroStatic.com is also home to rare commercials and a discussion forum.
  3. 80sCartoons.Net – The mission statement of 80sCartoons states that, “Our objective is to archive cartoon information-television series, specials, animated films, straight-to-video cartoons-everything created in the 80′s.”
  4. TheGreat70s.com – Each click of the “Watch Another Cartoon” button randomly generates a new clip to the embedded Hulu.Com link, keeping users guessing about which ‘toon they’ll see next.
  5. Cartoon-Factory.Com – Interested in collecting cels from your favorite vintage cartoons? Cartoon Factory should top your list, as it’s the largest selection on the web. Thorough explanations of animation terms, tips on caring for your valuable investments and appraisal services can all be found here.
  6. HBShows.com – Dedicated to everything Hanna Barbera, HBShows houses a database of cartoons and interesting facts about the dozens of classic Hanna Barbera titles.
  7. CartoonBrew.Com – Detailing the animation industry from its infancy to today’s trends, Cartoon Brew is sure to be a favorite among animation aficionados.
  8. BCBD.Com – The Big Cartoon Database also ranks among the online heavyweights in the classic animation department, with a directory that lists several thousand titles. Sections are broken down by studio, making the site a browsing dream. Among the offerings are gems from Fleischer Studios, the early-era Disney rival behind classics such as Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor and Gabby. Prepare to spend hours perusing the links, because BCDB is definitely addictive.
  9. KidsWB.Com – This Warner Brothers site offers a ton of streaming Looney Tunes and other vintage WB titles for your nostalgic enjoyment, including a dedicated section for fans of the various incarnations of Scooby-Doo and his cohorts.
  10. YouTube.Com – While certainly not limited to cartoons, this video sharing giant has enough vintage cartoon episodes to keep viewers entertained for hours. A simple search of your favorite retro title will net dozens of results. Suggestions can often remind you of titles long-forgotten, rekindling Saturday morning memories.
In addition to these sites, there are scores of discussion forum communities, blogs and micro-blogs with an emphasis on the animation of years gone by. While I personally prefer www.cartoon-online.com where you could find many cartoons which were telecasted in our childhood :) Valuable sources for emerging sites and links to memorabilia marketplaces, these communities are a must-visit for the true cartoon connoisseur.

Pixels of our Eyes???

How many megapixels does the human eye have???

you see things one way, and your camera sees things differently.
So, what is the resolution of the human eye, at which a camera would be able to truly capture an image the way the eye sees it?

The answer is 576MP, the technical breakdown is as follows:

Consider a view in front of you that is 90 degrees by 90 degrees, like looking through an open window at a scene. The number of pixels would be 90 degrees * 60 arc-minutes/degree * 1/0.3 * 90 * 60 * 1/0.3 = 324,000,000 pixels (324 megapixels).

At any one moment, you actually do not perceive that many pixels, but your eye moves around the scene to see all the detail you want. But the human eye really sees a larger field of view, close to 180 degrees. Let’s be conservative and use 120 degrees for the field of view.

Then we would see 120 * 120 * 60 * 60 / (0.3 * 0.3) = 576 megapixels.

The full angle of human vision would require even more megapixels. This kind of image detail requires A large format camera to record.



Therefore, once our cameras reach 576MP, the pictures you take with your camera will look exactly the same as you see them.

Just be patient, its coming out, soon.. In the next millennium.. Maybe.

Increase Your Energy Levels Naturally


Everyday I hear the same complaints from the same people about how tired they are, how stressed they are etc. with no solution in sight! The key is to correct the situation versus standing idle and accepting it.
Forget about the energy drinks or pills. Learn to increase your energy naturally, and have a healthy steady supply to get you through each day. By adjusting your personal eating, sleeping and exercise habits, you can boost your energy the natural way and settle into a self-sustaining rhythm.
Essential Water – Keep your body hydrated throughout the day. The first sign of dehydration is fatigue. Your body can’t function at capacity without that good old H2O. A steady supply of water will naturally keep things flowing–including your energy.
Improve Sleeping Habits – Often a small adjustment of your sleeping habits can already do wonders for your energy levels.
  • Lying in bed is not sleeping: Don’t go to bed if your not sleepy and end up lying in bed pondering and stressing.  If you are drifting off at the computer, while reading, or watching TV, it’s time to get to bed. Your bedtime should and will vary from night to night. Let your body tell you when to sleep as opposed to the following the 8-hour rule.
  • Rise and Shine: Put an alarm and get up at the same time everyday.
  • Sleepy at Noon?: Try a powernap of 20 minutes in a quiet place.
Experiment and find out what your optimal sleep levels are.
Yoga, Exercising & Stretching – It sounds counter-intuitive, perhaps, but by expending energy on a regular basis, you will actually give yourself more of it in the end. The key is to set up a fairly regular schedule–about three times a week–and push to the point that you feel refreshed, not exhausted. Don’t overdo it. It may take a couple of weeks to get into the natural rhythm, so have patience and higher energy levels will follow.
Deep breathing exercise – Another great way to re-energize your body is with a quick deep breathing exercise. Sit on a chair with a straight back and breathe deeply while you focus on your breath going in – going out. At the same time use a powerful affirmation to invigorate your mind and body.
Eliminate Energy-Sappers From Your Diet – Have more alkaline-forming foods like fruits and vegetables. Avoid excess sugar and coffee as they lead to lower blood sugar levels–and less energy–after they give you an initial kick. Also one could pack some almonds and nuts for a quick and convenient protein snack.

Lonely Train Journeys!


Hi all! :)
Journeys in trains, especially long ones are usually fun. For chess players like me, it’s all the more fun since we almost always travel in groups. For this year’s Mangalore open, however, I was forced to travel alone by fate and this turned out to be interesting!
I had the side berth (Number 7) by some ill-fated reservation. Number 8 was absent I guess, turned out to be two chatter box women who came to sit. From Chennai to Katpadi, I could do nothing better than
