Haruhi movie coming soon

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya season 2 was one of the most anticipated series because most fans were expecting The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya to be shown as it has been three years since the original season one anime aired in 2006.

However, fans were disappointed when the series had instead shown 'Endless Eight' which is made into eight episodes with only few differences in each episode. This equals to two whole months of the same episode leaving no time for Disappearance.

Fans rejoice as the movie has been confirmed to air in spring 2010.
The news is below.

Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Film Announced for 2010

The final episode of the "renewed" airing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series ended on Friday with a teaser of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (Suzumiya Haruhi no Shōshitsu) film. The film will open in Japanese theaters in the spring of 2010. More details will be provided on the anime franchise's official homepage at a later date.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the title of the fourth volume in Nagaru Tanigawa and Noizi Ito's original Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series about an eccentric, assertive girl who creates her own school club for her strange antics. The main story in this volume has yet to be animated. The first indications of animation plans for this light novel volume came in December 18, 2007, when the anime's official website "disappeared" with a cryptic announcement of a new Haruhi Suzumiya project; December 18 is a reference to the pivotal date in the fourth volume. That 2007 announcement was also the first public indication that Yutaka Yamamoto (director of first and 12th Haruhi Suzumiya episodes, Lucky Star, Kannagi) was not going to direct the production of new Haruhi Suzumiya animation.

Bandai Entertainment released the initial run of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series in North America. Little, Brown Young Readers is publishing the second light novel volume this week, and Yen Press will ship the fourth volume in Gaku Tsugano's manga adaptation later this month.

Effective mud ball ‘treatment’

Looks familiar? That's because this is taken from the Star.

The idea of using mud balls to save our rivers seems fun and easy so I searched the web to find out how to make them.
(PS. TARC had a mud ball making session during the SOS Earth event but I did not bother to see how to make them at the time)

What I found was that this type of thing is still relatively new as there is not even a wikipedia entry on it yet.

Here is the best thing I found about the mud ball. The main content is in Bahasa but scroll down and you will see the English version on the lower right side.

SOS Earth

The Earth is dying,

Trees are cut down,

More condos are made,

Global warming starts to make itself visible.

In the world we live in today, there seems to be more pollution, wastage and less habitats for animals and plants to live in.

It seems that if we continue this trend, the future looks bleak for mankind.

Fortunately enough there are people who try to reverse this trend.
