Plot Summary from ANN: Kuro, a 12th-century man, flees into the mountains after losing to his brother, where he meets a strange, beautiful woman named Kuromitsu. Kuro falls in love with Kuromitsu but realizes she conceals a dark secret. She is unable to die and continues to live for thousands of years as Japan evolves into a future society.
Based on a manga written by Baku Yumemakura and drawn by Takashi Noguchi.
Episodes: 12
Director: Tetsuro Araki
Series Composition: Tetsuro Araki
Original creator: Baku Yumemakura
Character Design: Masanori Shino
Chief Animation Director: Masanori Shino
Vocal Cast
Mamoru Miyano as Kuro
Romi Paku as Kuromitsu
Jouji Nakata as Yamato Bo
Houko Kuwashima as Rai
Keiji Fujiwara as Karata
Shinichirou Miki as Ranzan
I was surprised no thread for this was made so I decided to quickly make one up, I watched the first episode raw and the action scenes were rather impressive though I hope they don't overuse the special effects for the,. The VA cast is to die for and while I'm not happy with the manga to anime character design changes I can live with it... though I have to say the OP is just flat out horrible.

Tried reading the manga once before but couldn't get past the 3rd volume 'cos the continuously sudden forward and backward timeskips made my eyes go all spirally. I just couldn't put the events that happen within into perspective and when it came to the third volume and I was still plagued by the inability, I decided it was time to give it up. While the plot's got me interested enough, the mangaka's storytelling style definitely isn't something that's up my alley.
Gonna youtube the anime to see if it's isn't easier for my head to stomach.
p/s: From the picture you posted, Kuro...doesn't look very much like Kuro, does he? He looks like Spike Spiegel and Jubei's love child or something.

I watched the first episode, then I remembered Blade of the Immortal. This thought alone made my blood boil with an overwhelming rage, "OH WHY WAS IT BEE TRAIN??". From the first episode alone, Kurozuka, imo, shows what BoTI could have been in other hands. I liked it, and I hope the quality keep up all along the series. I guess I must trust the director? After all, he made Death Note, that delivered imo.
I just found amusing that the character design of the anime sort of mirror the designs of works by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, one of my favorite directors.

I loved the manga version of this, though it was a bit confusing at times with the time slips.
12 episodes dosent really seem enough to do the series justice though IMO. I hope they're only doing half of the manga, with a potential season two to finish it off. Otherwise i can see more people getting confused rather than enjoying it.
Oh, and here's the manga covers

Hmm...I can hardly see a trace of the original mangaka's style. Can't say the anime art doesn't have its own appeal, though...
...and Paku-san's voice is teh smex. =)~~ Her combo is with Mamo-san is smokin'~~~not that the story isn't engaging, but even if it wasn't, I'd watch it for their voices alone. And the action sequences, too. They're very stylishly executed.

Thanks for the thread, Westlo. I was just watching this show out of wanting to see all the first episodes. Imagine my surprise when I realized I thought it was one of the best of the season.
The story works for me, so far. The relationship developed quickly, but was powerful nevertheless. The action scenes were great. The voice acting was sublime. Especially Paku-san, but Mamo-chan was terrific, too. Add Nakata Jouji and you've got a great sound.
I loved the look, but then again I have not read the manga, so there's nothing I have to compare it with.
I actually thought the OP was the best of the season so far. It's not a style of music that's to everyone's taste, but it was done well. And the initial noh-style music is to hardly anyone's taste, but I loved it.
We'll see where the story goes from here. I generally don't like these artsy violent shows, but this one really reached me.

The mood, the atmosphere, the drawing, the coloring, the background, the music, the animated motion, and the voice acting (Mamoru Miyano and Romi Paku are the two note-worthy mention)... everything simply comes together. If I had to rate the first episode, I would rate it 9/10 without any reservation, and I hardly ever rate a first episode more than an 8. Okay.. I know I'm full of it, but it's true.
What I get from the synopsis is that the story is actually a love-story that spans a thousand years. No wonder some of the posts from the thread suggest the event in the manga is all over the place in terms of chronological continuity. When a time-scale spans such incredible distance, the continuity for chronological perception becomes unimportant. The only thing a story such as this can focus on are those special highlights that will reinforce the theme of the show. It can mean a jump from 50 years to 500 years, then to 100 years.. and etc.
I'm so very impressed with the first episode. Btw, did I ever mention that my very first anime in Japanese language was Ninja Scroll? This show is nostalgic. Some screens:

Finally! A show that isn't all about mechs, harems, wimpy boys, strong girls, and all the other crap that has been coming out the past couple years. I love these old japanese era setting animes too. The show does remind me of Ninja Scroll, even the main character, which is so damn cool. I can't wait to watch the rest, too bad it's only 12 episodes....i hope that's season one.
oh the anime is different from the manga, in a good way i think.

I finished the manga recently. And I will probably not watch Kurozuka. But I will atleast check the ending because anythign could do better than what the manga had to offer.
I mean it kind of cuts off. Maybe something was been accomplished at the end, but there were a couple threads left hanging.

Wow, this turned out a lot better than I expected. Minus points for gratuitous use of 3D and speed lines/blurs, but otherwise it's very well done. They did change the character designs, which was a bit jarring, but I suppose the world-weary Kuromitsu voice doesn't match the wide-eyed design in the manga. (I'm imagining a yandere C.C. Do not want.)
I found the manga fairly gripping for the most part (genre: stylized violence), but the denouement was lacking. The narrative kinda petered out. By keeping the anime to 12 eps they may be able to tighten the narrative and keep it compelling to the end.
I also wasn't aware that it takes elements from a Noh play. Makes sense in retrospect. The use of masks in this episode is quite effective.

Well, this is one of the series that keeps me watching the first episode of every new show. Had I not done so, this jewel would have slipped past me.
Great screenplay, great action sequences, the atmosphere is excellent - which can also be credited to the voice acting! Not knowing the manga, I must say that from the covers shown above, I find the anime art much more appealing. However, not to start any argument here: to each his own!
Looking forward to this, and may check back here frequently if questions concerning the storyline should arise (there seem to be quite a few manga readers about).

Very impressive first episode. The highlight for me was Paku's beautiful voice for the mysterious Kuromitsu. I'm liking her character a lot, and can not wait to see more from her.
Such a beautiful setting though. The colors bring it all to life.
Something else that has me quite interested was the city in ruins that we see at the start of the episode. If both Kuromitsu and Kurou are going to live as immortals, then i wonder if we'll see the two in a more present setting.

Spoiler for possible spoiler on the chronology:
Be warned the synopsis reveals quite a lot about the plot points.
As for if Madhouse can keep up with the quality, I think they should be able to maintain the quality to this level consistently considering the show is slated for 12 episodes. I've come to appreciate one-cur series for the very same reason. The second episode raw should come out any minute.

Football fans in the BuffaloNiagara region who subscribe to Time Warner Cable have reason to shout with Friday's announcement that an agreement has been reached for the nation's fourth largest pay TV provider to carry the NFL Network.
Time Warner is the last of the nation's largest cable and satellite carriers to agree to carry the NFL Network, which this season is broadcasting 13 Thursday night games.
In addition, Time Warner will carry RedZone, a game-day channel that replays every touchdown scored throughout the National Football League on Sunday afternoons. RedZone also airs significant plays within the 20-yard lines.
According to Time Warner, NFL Network and RedZone will debut Sunday.
The NFL Network will be carried on the digital basic and Sports Pass tiers. In the Buffalo area, it will air on Channels 187 (standard definition) and 1086 (high definition). RedZone, available only to Sports Pass customers, will be seen on Channels 191 and 1087.
At least one local football fan is thrilled at the news.
"I was getting ready to subscribe to Dish specifically because Time-Warner did not have the NFL Network," said Dave Dodd, who recently moved to the Lovejoy neighborhood. "Now I'll get cable, as long as they carry NFL Network.
"I used to go to my cousin's house in Syracuse to watch games if they were blacked out," said Dodd, who Friday afternoon was busy erecting a party tent outside the Hatch at Erie Basin Marina.
Buffalo Bills linebacker Bryan Scott said he, too, was affected by the TV dispute.
"It's funny, there are so many customers who choose their TV provider based on that kind of stuff, me included," Scott said. "I used to have Time Warner, and I switched."
Locally, WBBZ-TV officials had already contracted with the NFL Network to simulcast the Bills' upcoming Thursday night home game, Nov. 15 against Miami. WBBZ had "entered a very aggressive bid" with the NFL Network, according to Bob Koshinski, the station's general manager and vice president, to win the right to simulcast the game. The game now will air on both WBBZ and NFL Network if it is sold out.
Earlier this year, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the number of Thursday night games carried on the NFL Network would increase from eight to 13, excluding the Thanksgiving night game featuring the New England Patriots at the New York Jets. That game will air on NBC.
"We're delighted to have reached an agreement for NFL Network and NFL RedZone that provides a good value to our customers," said Melinda Witmer, executive vice president and chief video and content officer for Time Warner Cable. "We look forward to a long and productive relationship with the NFL."
The NFL Network also features all preseason games, the Senior Bowl, plus NFL draft coverage and the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony.

A carnival atmosphere as Brazilian national team visits Miami
Wherever the Brazil national team goes, rabid yellow-clad fans follow. They've been out in full force all over Miami this week, as the five-time World Cup champions prepare for a Saturday exhibition match against Honduras at Sun Life Stadium.
Close to 65,000 tickets had been sold as of Thursday, and organizers said they are on pace for a possible sellout of 73,000.
"The huge turnout is just the latest sign that Miami is the capital of international soccer in the United States," said Matt Higgins, CEO of RSE Ventures, the sports and entertainment branch of Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross' company.
Retired soccer icon David Beckham made headlines in Miami this week as he scouted locations for a possible Major League Soccer team. But it was 21-year-old Brazilian star Neymar and his team — the most major of the world's major teams — that had fans climbing fences in the rain at the FIU soccer field, attempting to roam the lobby at the J.W. Marriott Marquis hotel (security guards politely asked them to stay outside), and camping along S.E. 3rd Ave. to watch their one-named soccer heroes board and disembark their team bus.
Brazil is hosting the 2014 World Cup, and one of the favorites to win, so the team's profile is even higher than usual.
"This is a once in a lifetime experience to see the Brazil team in person," said Felipe Azevedo, 16, a student at Doral Academy and native of Brazil. "It's like meeting LeBron James. It's really, really big. I came out to the hotel two days in a row, and took pictures with a bunch of the guys. I got Maicon, Robinho, Bernard and Luiz."
Carlos Perreira, 12, and Bruna Mata, 14, had their parents drive them down from Coconut Creek to get an up close look at their soccer idols. Both boys come from Brazilian families and have grown up rooting for Brazil's team. They got autographs from Maicon, Dante, Julio Cesar, and a few other players.
Neymar is visiting Miami for the first time, called it "a beautiful city," and has been overwhelmed with the warm welcome. It isn't just Brazilian fans who love Brazilian soccer. They are a global team, as Thursday's news conference proved. There were reporters there from all over South America, Central America, Europe and Asia.
Because most of the best Brazilian players make their living abroad, they attract the fans of those teams and countries. Only two of the players on Brazil's roster this week play in Brazil. The rest play in England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and Russia. Four play for Chelsea in the English Premier League. Neymar plays for Spanish giant Barcelona, which paid his former Brazilian club Santos $74 million for the rights to the 5-9, 150-pound forward.
"I hope every seat is filled on Saturday and that Brazil wins the game," Neymar said.
It is his first time in Miami, and he has enjoyed every minute, especially meeting LeBron James and David Beckham on Tuesday night. Neymar and his teammates attended the Heat game against Milwaukee.
James did a video for ESPN Brazil and said Neymar was his favorite player. Neymar was humbled.
"I'm happy he said that because LeBron is one of my idols," Neymar said. "I felt like a little kid that night watching them play. It was very emotional for me."
Chatting with Beckham, and taking a photo together, was also a highlight. Neymar had visited the Real Madrid training camp in 2006, when he was 14 and Beckham was a player there. He got Beckham's autograph that day and took a picture of him.
"Seeing David Beckham again was an incredible feeling," he said. "To think I was just a kid in 2006 when I saw him in Madrid, and that now he knows my name, well, it's very special."
Neymar delighted fans at the FIU practice Tuesday with a barefoot ball juggling act. On a blustery Wednesday night, fans peered over the FIU fences as the team played a full 90-minute scrimmage.
The scrimmage was especially meaningful for FIU soccer players Marvin Hezel, Gonzalo Frechilla and Quentin Albrecht, who were picked to play with the Brazilians. Luiz Felipe Scolari, the Brazil coach, needed a few extra players, so he asked FIU coach Kenny Arena to lend him a few. All three were floored when they were told the news. They got to hang out with the Brazilian players in the locker room, and wear the Brazil jersey for the match.
"It was a true pleasure to play with the world's best," said Hezel, who drew praise from Scolari after the scrimmage.
"At first I was a little nervous to see Neymar and all the big names right there. But once the game started, you don't look at who you're playing against. It's still soccer. It's a memory I will carry for a lifetime. How many people can say they played on the same field as the Brazilian World Cup team?"

Multiple teams remain interested in former Falcons defensive end John Abraham. Including, reportedly, the Falcons.
According to Mike Garafolo of USA Today, the Falcons have remained in contact with Abraham since cutting him before the start of the 2013 league year in March. Abraham, however, has told the Falcons he won't be returning.
It's not a surprise. Last year, Abraham signed a three-year deal with the Falcons, and the Falcons tore it up after only one season. Even if the Falcons are offering more than any other team, it's less than what he was due to make before he was cut — and that could make it difficult for Abraham as a matter of principle to return.
Abraham reportedly could sign with the Titans soon. Coincidentally, the Titans were one of the other suitors for Abraham when he opted last year to stay with the Falcons.

How can someone not love Shelley Duncan?
I know all the Yankees can't wait to cancel this game and they probably hope this game was never being played when you consider Yankees' terrible defense on the field, but I actually like what I saw.
First of all, I rather they make some mistakes and notice those problems during spring training than find them out at regular season games.
Secondly, Jonathan Albaladejo and Scott Patterson all pitched well. I know, I know, Albaladejo gave up 6 runs in the first inning, but he didn't really give up many hard hit balls. I think he need to strength his mental toughness. As Scott Patterson's case, I start to wonder is it just because of spring training? or can he succeed in the regular season? I really want to find out. Let's wait and see Girardi's decision regard for 25-men roster which will be interesting.
Finally, How can someone not love Shelley Duncan? He did missed a fly ball in the left field, but he came back for that amazing catch. It will be great to see how he will do this season.

We both agreed on wanting Ransom to make the club, but doubting whether it would actually happen.
Scott Patterson could be in the same category. He's retired all but one of his twenty something batters he's retired. I don't know what else he could've done. With that said, the competition is fierce. Edwar Ramirez has gotten into a groove and back into consideration. Brian Bruney has been showing better, but could be a spring training tease again. Ohlendorf, whom I thought was a lock, had a couple of shakey outings but will be given some more chances. Albaladejo, who didn't get much help yesterday, didn't bail out his fielders and didn't help his chances by not competing.
Maybe Farnsworth can be traded and open up another slot? I don't think he'll ever be consistent enough to be a setup on a championship team.

Unless Ensberg had a horrible spring. Guys like Ransom had no chance. Ensberg is the right choice.
I would take Patterson, Albaladejo and Ramirez any day over Farnsworth and Hawkins!!
Nobody will take Farnsworth from the Yankees because of the money the Yankees are wasting on him.

Competition in this spring training is great. It's probably very difficult for Yankees coach staff and front office to make wrong decision.
Competition for bullpen spots is extremely strong. This is the reason I feel we may have strong bullpen this season, not even mention how many sleepers we have down the minor.
I am kind of having a feeling Kyle won't stay with us the whole season and Hawkins may have a good season.
- March 24, 2008 at 3:48 AM
- Mike said...
Hawkins will be DFA by July 1. Farnsworth will stay, they are paying him way too much to release or trade him. Plus he's buds with Joe G.
Hopefully they will discover that these 2 stink before its too late in the season.

I still hope both have a great season.

If whoever finds the Santa Maria can confirm that it's the Santa Maria, that's kind of like the Holy Grail. It would be very exciting but I remain skeptical because people make claims all the time. —Kevin Crisman, Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — An underwater explorer said Tuesday that he may have found the long-sought wreckage of one of Christopher Columbus' original ships off northern Haiti, but the find is far from confirmed.
Barry Clifford said evidence, including what appears to be a 15th century cannon and ballast stones that look like they came from Spain or Portugal, suggests that what remains of the Santa Maria is in relatively shallow waters at a site he declined to disclose for security reasons.
"The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming," Clifford said in a phone interview from his home in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
He said that he and his son, Brandon, first explored the site and took photos in 2003. They decided to publicize their findings after a follow-up dive and examination of the photos led them to conclude they may have found the Santa Maria, which ran aground in December 1492 during Columbus' initial voyage. The cannon that they saw in 2003 was gone when they returned to the dive site last week.
Clifford, known for discovering a pirate ship off Cape Cod in 1984, said he has met with Haitian government officials to preserve the site so a full archaeological exploration can be conducted.
There are reasons to be skeptical that this is indeed the Santa Maria, said Kevin Crisman, director of the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation at Texas A&M University.
Crisman said many Spanish ships sunk off Haiti and the neighboring Dominican Republic, and it will be difficult to confirm that this is the Santa Maria. The ship sank slowly in 1492 and the crew had time to remove valuable items, such as a cannon that would help document the identity of the vessel.
"If whoever finds the Santa Maria can confirm that it's the Santa Maria, that's kind of like the Holy Grail," Crisman said. "It would be very exciting but I remain skeptical because people make claims all the time."

Here's an interesting murder case that's come up recently. One of the neocon bureaucrats who worked for George W. Bush ended up dead with his body tossed in a dumpster.
An article from the US Daily reports "Delaware police released new video on Friday showing John Wheeler, a former senior official in the administration of President George W. Bush, on the street in downtown Wilmington the day before his body was found in a nearby landfill. Local police and the FBI are trying to figure out how Wheeler's body got in a dumpster picked up by the trash truck in Newark, Del. as early as 4:20 a.m. on New Year's Eve. The Delaware Medical Examiner has ruled Wheeler's death a homicide but has not released the cause of death, pending the results of toxicology tests. The new video shows Wheeler exiting a building and crossing a street in central Wilmington, wearing dark pants and a blue hooded sweatshirt, the Newark Police Department said in a statement. The video traces Wheeler's movements until 8:42 p.m. on December 30, about 13 hours before his body was spotted by a sanitation worker falling out of a trash truck at a Wilmington landfill. Police had previously published video showing him inside the building at about 8:30 p.m. on December 30."
Wheeler worked for an organization called the Mitre Corporation which did work for Defense and Intelligence, Aviation Systems and Homeland Security. One news article notes "Wheeler served as a special assistant to the secretary of the Air Force under President George W. Bush, and in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush."
Mr. Wheeler would have been in a key position to know exactly what was happening on Sep. 11th, 2001. He would have — at the least — known who stopped the interception of commercial airliners which had been hijacked that day. He also would know which — if any — commercial jets were shot down that day. There are an awful lot of secrets Mr. Wheeler was carrying around with him. Perhaps someone in a position of power decided to wrap up some loose ends and terminate Mr. Wheeler so he wouldn't let any key information about 911 slip out to the general public. That's a heck of a brutal retirement program. Perhaps this should be a warning to any other high-level government wonk with key info on 911 being an inside job. Maybe it's better to leak the info than to be buried with it.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said "Nothing in politics ever happens by coincidence."
Another report claims that Wheeler was seen shortly after being mugged of his briefcase. Wheeler was apparently slugged in the head and walking around in a daze. He was reportedly found with head injuries. But would a man like this have been walking around in a neighborhood where he would be likely to be mugged? And if it was not a common street crime, then what was it?
It will be interesting to see if this case quietly drops out of sight after a few days or if anything more turns up.

The Ptech corporation shared space in a Boston building with the Mitre Corporation during the 9/11 False Flag attack. Like so many other MOSSAD ops, greedy Arab and Lebanese frontmen, investors and employees were used to obfuscate the Israeli connections. Even with Saudi and possible Al-Qaeda financial connections, the media won't touch the story with a 10 foot pole because of where it all really leads in the end. The International Jew/Zionist ownership of the media is why 9/11 remains covered up to this day.
Ptech was behind the PROMIS command/control software thought to have a "Trojan Horse" or backdoor access that gave the Zionist perps the capability to over-ride, or "spoof," America's military, FAA and NORAD computer systems on 9/11.
A quote from 9/11 researcher Christopher Bollyn's site:
"Ptech was with MITRE Corporation in the basement of the FAA for two years prior to 9/11. Their specific job is to look at interoperability issues the FAA had with NORAD and the Air Force in the case of an emergency. If anyone was in a position to know that the FAA – that there was a window of opportunity or to insert software or to change anything – it would have been Ptech along with MITRE."

Historic Arts & Crafts home, majestically set in the picturesque Mountain Lakes enclave, is a classic reminder of a celebrated era of sophisticated style, graceful beauty and fine design. The 12 room Center Hall Colonial, built in 1912, has been lovingly restored to its former glory, masterfully blending original period details with 21st century amenities. This historic residence offers the best of both worlds; the distinction of the past, as well as the convenience and luxury of today.
Influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century, local developer and entrepreneur Herbert J. Hapgood built homes in the Mountain Lakes region with variations of Colonial and neo-classical details. The Hapgood homes promoted outdoor living and were designed to complement the landscape, located on natural, rather than graded terrain. By the end of 1912, two hundred Hapgood homes were sold and occupied and by 1923, approximately six hundred stucco houses were built to meet the overwhelming demand.
Few of the area's Hapgood homes remain as faithful to the era as this one on Laurel Hill Road. Complete with three levels, a grand porch and family room, as well as a stone staircase that overlooks the home's private acre of property, this handsome home invites its owners to step back in time.
Oak parquet flooring runs throughout the foyer, living room, dining room and breakfast room. Natural chestnut trim and wainscoting adorn the foyer where French doors lead to the oversized family room with its stucco walls and arched windows that take in the outside views. The formal dining room exudes graceful elegance, boasting a coffered ceiling and floor-to-ceiling wainscoting on the walls and a butler's pantry with a bar sink and original glass-front top cabinets. The charming living room features a beamed ceiling, a wood-burning brick fireplace with a wood mantle and built-in brass and glass doors as well as built-in bookcases. The updated kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances, oak plank flooring, oak cabinets, a ceramic tile backsplash and a separate laundry room with shelves.
The second floor is home to the master bedroom suite and three of the home's seven bedrooms, all featuring original pine wood floors. The master suite offers a walk-in closet and French doors that lead to the home's upper balcony. Its bathroom is appointed with ceramic tile walls and flooring with a bathtub and a separate stall shower. Built-in cabinets and shelves as well as walk-in closets in the additional bedrooms offer an abundance of storage space.
Three additional bedrooms are found on the third level of the home, all with oak flooring. An eyelid dormer window highlights one bedroom and a full bathroom boasts the original pedestal sink and claw foot bathtub.
The beauty of the property, which features a circular driveway, brick walkways, towering oak trees, and specimen plantings, including two Japanese maple trees, matches the charm and character of the home's distinctive interior.

Mountain Lakes Historic Past
In the early part of the century, many new planned communities sprang up across the United States. Mountain Lakes Residential Park was one of these.
In 1910, Mountain Lakes was a rural woodland owned by a few families with names such as Righter, Grimes, Ball and Van Duyne. In the space of ten years, however, the entire face of Mountain Lakes changed from a wilderness of Dutch and English properties to a planned suburban community of large stucco houses now affectionately known as "Lakers." During this single decade, the natural and architectural character of Mountain Lakes was developed. Since then, despite superficial changes, the original design imagined by the local engineer, Lewis Van Duyne, and executed primarily by developer, Herbert J. Hapgood, remains intact.
Today, some 90 years later, Mountain Lakes is still prospering, essentially intact, whereas other planned communities have lost their identities to intrusive development. Mountain Lakes ability to preserve its original design and character has been cited by professional planners as unique among American communities.
Fifteen years after Lewis Van Duyne surveyed the site for the nearby Boonton Reservoir, his practiced eye conceived a design for the development of the property adjacent to the city-bound branch of the Lackawanna Railroad. The site was a large tract of pristine land, one of rolling hills, woods, swamps and boulders. With the vague idea in mind of clearing the land and developing the site, he contacted developer and entrepreneur, Herbert J. Hapgood.
Hapgood, together with his landscape engineer, Arthur T. Holton, had a vision. He wanted to build homes in a popular, marketable mode. So he set out to build a gracious planned community to provide future homeowners with comfortable family-oriented homes.
As the first houses were built, residents ventured out from New York to escape the city heat. The first family, the Lawrence W. Luellens, moved into 46 Dartmouth Road on March 17, 1911. By the end of June, some fifty families had taken up residence. After the railroad station was completed in November of 1912, commuters were ready to take advantage of a direct train line to New York. By the end of 1912, two hundred Hapgood homes were sold and occupied. By 1923, approximately six hundred stucco houses were built to meet the overwhelming demand.
Hapgood was particularly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, at the height of its popularity in 1910 when he started building. He took many features of Gustav Stickley's Craftsman architecture and philosophy and adapted them to his own designs. His houses were solid and boxy in appearance. They were large yet non-ostentatious homes with variations of colonial or neo-classical detail. All showed a clear relationship to the natural environment and promoted outdoor living. They were made to fit into the landscape, located on natural rather than graded terrain. Narrow roads were curved to fit the contours of the land. Local boulderstone was used extensively. The houses were designed to appeal to upper middle class people who wanted to raise their families in a wholesome country environment filled with recreational opportunities and neighbors who would share their values.
An early advertisement features three distinct types of houses which were built on lots near the banks of Wildwood and Mountain Lakes, these lakes having been created for the residential park by three earthen dams. Hapgood named them the Manor House, the Semi-Bungalow and the Swiss Chalet. These styles were actually adaptations of the Foursquare House common in American towns in the early part of the twentieth century. In an article entitled, "The American Foursquare," in The Old House Journal (February 1982), the architectural historian, Renee Kahn, defines the Foursquare as a two story house with "a square boxlike shape, and a low hipped roof with broad overhanging eaves. The exterior is unadorned, relying for impact on its shape and proportion. There is usually a porch extending the full width of the front elevation. Most often, there is a dormer in the roof facing front; sometimes there will also be dormers on the two side planes of the roof. Occasionally there will be a bay window or other architectural feature that breaks up the absolute flatness of the sides."
The Hapgood model homes were early forerunners of the modern development, but each house was modified to suit individual tastes. To the basic styles of these houses, Hapgood added colonial and craftsman features. He reversed floor plans, and interchanged architectural details.
The choice of materials used in the Lakers reflected both local availability and the fashion of the times. The fieldstone of the chimneys, walls and foundations was deposited regionally by the Wisconsin glacier ten thousand years ago. Chestnut paneling, ceiling cross beams and oak flooring were cut from trees by Hapgood at local sawmills using the timber cleared from the construction sites. Around 1910, builders began to show increased interest in stucco. Renee Kahn states, "Although its initial cost was slightly more than wood, it required little or no maintenance, and could be tinted delicate pastel colors when wet. A soft beige/brown appears to have originally been the most popular color."
As is generally the case in planned communities, most of the trees and plants were removed for ease of construction. Trees and bushes which have sprung up since reflect the natural, informal landscaping that was prevalent at the time. The mountain laurel and rhododendron, for example, are specifically adaptive to our acid soil. Other decorative outdoor structures consisted of garden trellises, pergolas, gazebos, boathouses and tennis courts designed to enhance the enjoyment of the outdoors.
An unusual feature of the development was that so many houses, nearly 500 of them, were built by one developer. That so many of them have survived is also unusual. In fact, the 454 original houses still remaining may be the largest collection of Craftsman-influenced houses in the United States.
The original design layout and the "Hapgoods" established the community as an ideal garden suburb and inspired subsequent development. The later homes were, for the most part, smaller and of various styles, but the original standards of quality in materials and craftsmanship were continued. Although there is no code in the Borough to control style of architecture, there exists nevertheless a certain homogeneity within the community derived in large part from the prominence of the old stucco Hapgood homes and the dominance of colonial styles among newer buildings.
In 1923, when Hapgood's enterprise failed, the Belhall Company was formed to take control of undeveloped land and steps were taken for Mountain Lakes to become a separate municipality. It is significant that, at this time, a committee was formed to draw up possible boundaries for the new Borough. So it was, that only a little more than a decade after the first construction, boundaries were drawn that went to the Denville border on the west and to Intervale Road on the east, explicitly "in order to permit continuity in development." This was recognition of the idea that Hapgood's vision extended not only to the properties he owned but to others that were contiguous. Also in the 1920's, well after the Hapgood development was established, the Arthur D. Crane Company bought land from the St. Francis Health Resort and created the Lake Arrowhead development with its own distinctive type of architecture and design upon the land.
Immediately after World War II, a major new development occurred on a large, relatively flat tract of land between the railroad and Intervale Road. There the Fox Development Company erected some 67 smaller homes that filled an important demand for housing for returning veterans and their young families.
Two other events of major importance to the Borough were its acquisition in 1938 (toward the end of the Depression) of titles to most of the prime undeveloped building lots remaining in the Borough and, in 1952, the purchase of 250 acres of woodland around Crystal and Birchwood Lakes and up to the Tourne. Both of these acquisitions gave Mountain Lakes the opportunity to control its own destiny, to avert the intrusive over-development that destroyed so many other planned communities, and to maintain its unique character.
Today, the grand gardens have been simplified, houses have been renovated and the servants are gone. Still, the essential character of the Lakers in their environment remains. The rustic suburb of Mountain Lakes has maintained its unique character, environment and sense of place created in the two decades following its founding, fulfilling Hapgood's vision of an ideal community. This town's ability to regulate its growth and thereby control its destiny, cited as unique by Mel Scott in American City Planning Since 1980, is carried on today with renewed dedication to its original ideals.
The Character Of Mountain Lakes
Mountain Lakes is still a special community. You first become aware of it as you pass through the stone pillars at either end of town. You know it as you drive along its narrow curving roads and notice the large stucco Hapgoods -- their pleasant family resemblance and yet their individuality.
You know it on a hot summer day as you leave Route 46 for Intervale Road -- the temperature drops, the glare disappears, your heart gets a little lift -- and you know you are home.
This character of the community, the sense of place, is intangible. It is something we all want to preserve, yet preservation of character cannot be done directly. It can only be done indirectly by maintaining the tangible elements that represent and reinforce this sense of place.
Some of these tangible elements are:
• The Natural Setting -- Glacial terminal moraine, rolling hills, woods and lakes, boulderstone.
• The Design on the Land -- The layout conceived by Hapgood and Holton, his landscape architect; landscape as the prime determinant of the original plan; emphasis on aesthetic use of topography and hydrology; design around the lakes.
• The Built Environment -- Dominance of boulderstone in community buildings, foundations, walls, pillars; the houses -- eclectic but with an all-important family resemblance; largely stucco with Arts and Crafts features; great congruity between landscape and architecture (simple, naturalistic and traditional).
• Continuity in Design and Lifestyle -- Design integrity preserved even while the community undergoes change; newer homes fitted into the lots and layout of Hapgood's original design; present road designs, watercourses and lakes the same as in the original community.
Why Mountain Lakes Houses Are Historically Significant
The period in which Herbert Hapgood designed was one of eclectic architectural styles, but his work shows a consistent debt to Craftsman architecture, tempered by a Colonial Revival influence.
Craftsman architecture -- now an area of growing interest and study -- was one of several related styles that developed out of the English Arts and Crafts movement of the 19th century. Like the English movement, Craftsman architecture emphasized a simple approach to design, with an honest expression of the materials used. This truth and simplicity was a reaction against what was called the "excesses" of Victorian design. Or, as Gustav Stickley, the American proponent of the movement, stated in his monthly journal called The Craftsman, "beauty does not imply elaboration or ornament."
We see the Craftsman attitude towards natural materials in Hapgood's use of stucco, boulderstone exteriors with exposed wood details, and interiors characterized by sturdy oak floors, exposed beams and trim, chestnut paneling, and large brick and stone fireplaces. Built-ins and inglenooks are typical -- comfortable, simple conveniences. These houses have a sense of volume to them and sit snugly into the landscape. The abundance of surrounding porches contributes to the emphasis on the horizontal, which keeps these houses so solidly anchored to the earth.
The Craftsman influence on Hapgood's architecture is modified by the reliance on Colonial Revival design. Some of the innovative concepts are melded with the very salable, tried-and-true Colonial floor plans to produce houses that have been and still are called "comfortable houses," great for family-centered lifestyles then and now.
Thus, rather than an idealistic and costly expression of a pure architectural style, the homes in Mountain Lakes combine practical features of several styles, but they remain very much a product of their time. They have a homogeneity as well as an architectural significance, but their significance lies more in the whole than in the sum of its parts. It is the collection of Craftsman-influenced homes located in a relatively small, planned community, not any particular home, that is important.
Around the turn of the century there was an increase in literature and physical experimentation in the design of the ideal garden suburb. Mountain Lakes was designed as a commuter community providing its residents with homes situated in a park-like setting, with curved roads and scenic vistas, encouraging outdoor lifestyles and shared community values.
Although a few other planned suburbs such as Llewellyn Park, before it, and Radburn, after it, have also survived, Mountain Lakes is one of the few towns designed in the 1910 decade that has survived and grown with its original goals and character intact.

The Ventev Dura-Gel Case is a rubbery shell case for the Nokia Lumia 920. It is constructed of thermal formed, advanced thermoplastic polyurethane.
The Ventev Dura-Gel Case does offer a decent amount of protection for the Lumia 920 with regards to minor dings and scratches. The Dura-Gel won't offer much help from falls but it does offer a decent grippable surface that may prevent accidental drops. The diamond pattern may not appeal to everyone but the Ventev Dura-Gel Case for the Nokia Lumia 920 is a decent option if you're looking for a simple case.
The Ventev Dura-Gel Case is made of a flexible rubbery plastic that reminds me of those plastic rain jackets. Just a wee bit thicker.
The case pops on the Lumia 920 and wraps around the back of the Windows Phone extending to cover the phone's sides, top and bottom. Buttons are covered with rubber extensions and the case has cutouts for the headphone jack, micro-USB port, camera and speakers. The Ventev headphone jack opening is large enough to expose the top microphone.
On the down side, the plastic opening around the camera and light is too narrow. If you use your flash, the plastic reflects the light back onto the lens, giving your pictures a hazy look.
The case does add a smidgen of thickness to the Lumia 920 but not enough to be frustrating. The polyurethane plastic has a little tackiness to it give the Lumia 920 a little more grip. The case is smooth but not slick. The case feels durable and is compatible with the wireless charging pad.
All in all, the Ventev Dura-Gel Case isn't a bad option to consider for those who want a little protection for their Lumia 920. If you do a lot of flash photography, I'd look elsewhere though. The Dura-Gel Case is offered in two colors, smoke and clear, that both have the same diamond pattern. You can find the Ventev Dura-Gel Case here at the Windows Phone Central Accessory Store for $14.95.

Weaknesses: Little to no combat skills. Uses others to fight for him thus weak if alone.
Powers and Abilities: Has access to abilities common to most warlocks. Foresight (He receives vague visions of the future. He must interpret them for himself thus it is unknown if they will predict anything useful.)
Temperament: He is a loner. Always has been. He prefers isolation and solitude where he can receive his visions and interpret them. This is only strengthened by the fact that he has felt alone for most of his life. Even now as the Grandmaster of the Order, he spends his time sealed up in his study meditating among other similar tasks. He is slow to anger and even then keeps his anger to himself. Though he is not one to accept failure lightly and he will speak his mind should failure occur.
Background/Important Information: Due to his talent at demonic magic, he followed in the footsteps of Kael'thas when the Blood Elves fled to Outland to seek out Illidan. He was fortunate that he was able to travel with the Blood Elves until they found Illidan and became his servants. Woldemar served Illidan faithfully until his defeat at by the combined forces of Azeroth during the Burning Crusade. After which Woldemar returned to Azeroth and went into isolation in the mountains of Alterac. It was only recently that he left his self-exile and was called to become the next Grandmaster of the Order.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - After cementing himself as one of the best pitchers in Tennessee Tech history, Tristan Archer will now look to make a name for himself at the professional level after being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 21st round of the 2013 MLB Draft.
Archer, who was the 632nd pick of the draft, is now the 12th former Tech player in the last seven seasons to be drafted by a major league organization dating back to 2007.
The Brewers drafted a total of 40 players in the 2013 draft, including 23 pitchers. A native of Kingsport, Tenn., Archer is one of four players drafted by the Brewers from the Tennessee area.
A four-year starting pitcher, Archer spent much of this season rewriting the Tennessee Tech record books and becoming one of the all-time greats in Tech history. Archer broke three career records this season including career victories (23), innings pitched (323.2), and starts (55). He ranks second among all Tech pitchers in strikeouts, setting down 273 batters on strikes.
On the year, Archer broke his career-high in wins, leading the Golden Eagles with nine and ranking second in the Ohio Valley Conference. His 97 strikeouts this season, also a career-high, ranked second in the league. He threw 97 innings, and put up three 10+ strikeout games this season, including his first career complete-game shutout over SIUE. The performance led to the senior garnering his fourth career adidas OVC Pitcher of the Week honor. A member of the 2010 OVC all-Freshman team and a member of the 2013 all-OVC first team, Archer was also named OVC Player of the Week and OVC Pitcher of the Year by College Sports Madness earlier this season.

Related Product Information
This protocol is intended for magnetic isolation or depletion of CD2+cells directly from whole blood, buffy coat or MNC. For rapid and consistent results in protein or gene expression analysis, lyse the CD2+ cells while they are still attached to the beads and proceed with the lysate for further molecular analysis. If bead-free T cells are required, please see list of recommended products.
Principle of Isolation
Dynabeads are mixed with the sample in a tube. The Dynabeads will bind to the target cells during a short incubation, and then the bead-bound cells are separated by a magnet.
- Positive isolation – discard the supernatant and use the bead-bound cells for downstream molecular applications (e.g. protein or gene expression analysis).
- Depletion – discard the bead-bound cells and use the remaining, untouched cells for any application.
Sample Preparation
Isolate T cells directly from whole blood, buffy coat or MNC. Please visit Pan Mouse IgG - Depletion or Positive Isolation of Cells from Different Species and follow our QuickLinks for recommended sample preparation procedures.
Additional Materials Required
Materials that are not included, but are needed to perform the entire protocol:
• Mixer allowing both tilting and rotation
• Magnet: See Dynabeads® mRNA Purification Kit for mRNA Purification from Total RNA preps for magnet recommendations
• Isolation buffer: Ca2+ and Mg2+ free phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (e.g. Gibco cat.no. 14190-094) supplemented with 0.1% BSA and 2mM EDTA
BSA can be replaced by human serum albumin (HSA) or 2% FBS/FCS. EDTA can be replaced by 0.6% sodium citrate.
Critical notes
- Use a mixer that provides tilting and rotation of the tubes to ensure that Dynabeads do not settle at the bottom of the tube.
- Follow the recommended volumes and incubation times.
- Avoid air bubbles during pipetting.
This protocol describes magnetic labeling and isolation of CD2+ T cells from whole blood, buffy coat or MNC.

|Positive isolation
|Sample volume
|1 ml
|1 ml
|Volume of Dynabeads
|50 μl
|100 μl
|Total no. of cells processed per product
* When working with lower cell concentrations, use the same volumes as indicated. When working with higher cell concentrations, scale up all reagent volumes and total volumes accordingly.
Dynabeads Washing Procedure
Dynabeads should be washed before use.
- Resuspend the Dynabeads in the vial.
- Transfer the desired volume of Dynabeads to a tube.
- Add the same volume of Isolation buffer, or at least 1 ml, and mix.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
- Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the washed Dynabeads in the same volume of Isolation buffer as the initial volume of Dynabeads (bullet point 2).
Depletion or Positive Isolation of CD2+ cells
- Add the appropriate volume of Dynabeads to the prepared sample according to table 1.
- Incubate for 20 min (positive isolation) or 30 min (depletion) at 2 - 8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
- For depletion, transfer supernatant to a new tube for further use.
- For positive isolation, discard the supernatant and wash the beadbound cells 3 times by resuspending in Isolation Buffer to the original sample volume, and separate using a magnet.
For molecular studies, lyse cells while still attached to the beads and transfer supernatant (lysate) to a new tube for further processing.
This product is stable until the expiry date stated on the label when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Store opened vials at 2-8°C and avoid bacterial contamination. Keep Dynabeads in liquid suspension during storage and all handling steps, as drying will result in reduced performance. Resuspend well before use.

Posted on September 12, 2011 | Categories: File Security
This week, bankers and banking security experts from the U.S. and Latin America will gather at the InterContinental Hotel in Miami for one of the largest annual bank security conferences for senior Latin American bankers. CELAES 2011, the 26th Annual Conference of Banking Safety takes place September 15-16.
Given that Latin America has one of the highest rates of users who access banking online through computers and mobile technology, bankers have plenty of reason to stay on top of the latest cyber threats and security measures.
The Florida International Bankers Association (FIBA) and the Federation of Latin American Banks (La Federación Latinoamericana de Bancos - FELABAN) are hosting this unique joint Spanish/English conference. Attendees can participate in a variety of educational sessions on best practices for banking security, as well as gain access to vendors offering the latest security hardware, software, and cloud computing strategies for the banking sector.
A large portion of this year's conference is devoted to preventing data breaches through security management of data, cloud services, electronic fraud detection and risk mitigation.
What makes Latin America's challenges relevant is that the tactics developed by the cyber criminals that thrive there can be used on any financial system in the world. Conferences like the CELAES 2011 conference helps educate and present solutions to banking executives in Latin America and help close the doors on cyber criminals.
Cyber crime in Latin America's financial industry remains a serious concern for a variety of reasons. The developing legal systems in many Latin American countries are adding laws to combat cyber crime, but enforcement is lacking. This is further compounded by the absence of the "personal privacy" notion within many of the governing entities in some Latin American countries. Another issue for the Latin American financial sector, according to Frost & Sullivan, is that 70% of people making online transactions believe that the bank or service provider is responsible for fraud and protecting their online security.
Crime organizations and cartels present in Latin America have contributed to or funded cybercrime networks, making Latin America a haven for illegal electronic activity. Not only are these organizations stealing money and account information through online phishing/fraud, Bloomberg reports that one Mexican cartel is openly selling their own pirated versions of Microsoft products. Sold for a fraction of the retail cost, who knows what Trojans and back doors are included as "features."
The ESET Trends and monthly Threat Reports calculate that 1 in 20 computers in Latin America are infected and the spread of malware is gaining speed as USB devices and now gaming consoles account for 40% of malware propagation. The growing number of infected machines gives the attackers a strong network of resources for both direct and indirect attacks on the financial sector.
The same PCI Data Security Standards required for financial institutions in North America are making an impact in Latin America. Financial institutions are realizing that they are less susceptible to a breach during a cyber attack when they've spent the time and resources to implement even a few of the PCI DSS requirements like network monitoring, complex passwords and data encryption of account and payment information (PCI DSS requirements now apply to International payment processing).
During the conference, GoAnywhere's partner Green Light Technology, a conference sponsor and a respected solutions provider for the Latin American banking industry, will present Powertech Crypto Complete for database encryption and GoAnywhere MFT for secure managed file transfers. Both products encrypt sensitive data, reduce access to primary systems, provide workflow automation, and audit file transfer activity.
Thanks to the efforts of FIBA, FELABAN, and cooperation among international agencies, Latin American banking and finance representatives have the opportunity to fight back against cyber criminals, and the lessons learned will benefit all of us.
