^Concept art wasn't publicly shared and discussed until CA.org as far as I know. I think the closest you could get was Spectrum. Now there are dozens of workshops every year, a fist full of magazines that come out every month and an endless amount of overpriced tutorials to download. CA blazed the trail from what I can tell.
There were plenty of books on concept art, though. At least as far back as the '80's. I used to find them in the library when I was a kid.
Though they may not have used the term "concept art" nearly as much as people do now. Nowadays it seems to get thrown around by everybody for everything.

I'll admit that sci/fi fantasy illustration is lumped in with concept art, but that's about it really.There were plenty of books on concept art, though. At least as far back as the '80's. I used to find them in the library when I was a kid.

I was unaware of this quality of art until I came here. The closest I ever saw was comics, fringe scifi/fantasy book covers, RPG manuals and calenders with fairies. All of the realistic illos stunk of Fabio's chest oil. Character design was an animator's parsley on a very full plate. I know some game designers would doodle their own "concept art" because the limited tech and limited expectations permitted limited quality visuals. CA came around when the tech could support and demanded ambitious art if you think back to 2002.

You were missing out, then, dude. I remember drooling over books of Disney concept art, Star Wars concept art, and the art for "the Dark Crystal", among other things... Though I didn't know until much, much later exactly what all that stuff was for or that you could get jobs doing it. I wish CA or something similar had been around when I was in school, I might have gotten the hint sooner.
Concept art for video games is obviously a recent thing, but movies have been using concept art for eons, and some of the old pre-CG stuff is pretty damn amazing.
People came here from Francis Tsai's cosey Concept Design Forum which died over a decade ago (probably one of the best places there ever were to get privy with the talent posting there). At the time there was also Sijun which had a lot of concept art type threads. Concept/Game/Character art was certainly well discussed on many other art forums before that (including the animé flavor over at Pendako, IIRC). But, CA was the first forum to sort of capitalize on the theme.
Jamen jag tror att han skäms, och har gömt sig. Vårt universum det är en av dom otaliga spermasatser som Herren i sin självhärliga ensamhet har runkat fram för å besudla intet.
QueenGwenevere-Yeah totally missed out. The Dark Crystal seems like a movie based on an art book. Syd Mead must have had some pimp artbooks hanging around too. All of which are probably rare collector things I will never afford.

"This place isn't a great as it used to be!" > that phrase seems to crop up everywhere I try and socialise, I'm beginning to think I'm jinxed . Just kidding, but it is the way of life it seems, every time I discover a new place to hang out or go dancing there's always an old regular who has a story of the glory days.
I agree with the people suggesting a clean up though, for new-comers this place is confusing and many people have said it, but we should be cautious of changing it too much. It might turn out like my old nightclub haunt that never seemed the same after they replaced the booze soaked carpet that you stuck to, and the walls that were covered with old band posters from the 80's got repainted with glittery black paint and the metal and rock they played got replaced with nu-metal and pop (shudder).
Another site CA could learn from is http://www.wipnation.com/ It's got some great features, too bad it's such a ghost town.On an aside, that wipnation place looks pretty nice, and so does the art you linked to, Velocity. If I had more time for forums, I'd definitely consider skulking there on a regular basis.wow this ones good!
I don't really mind if a forum is small - it wouldnt put me off joining - because like a lot of us keep saying, it's not the place, it's the people who make it. And in relation to CA, if people put the effort in, then it'll be the place they want it to be.
It's a tired old cliche but dammit, it's a good one - "You have to be the change you want to see in the world"
I also like the idea someone put forward re using the activity winners' work on the main page as a kind of advertisement for the calibre of work here. I'll second or third that one. We're artists after all, and we like looking at cool art.
We just need some ferns. Why can't some ferns be implemented?"This place isn't a great as it used to be!" > that phrase seems to crop up everywhere I try and socialise, I'm beginning to think I'm jinxed .

i still like this site but i did notice that the number of visitors and user on the forums went down, maybe half a year ago there would be over 500 people in the sb forums and now its rare for it to hit 300. i think a lot of people are being scared away by the site malfunctions too? hope it doesnt get worse for the site :/
I just tried the bulk uploader. It only pissed me off a little! Huge improvement!
No more stupid name+genre+media=waste of fucking time! The size limitation still gave me grief, but I can live with that.

I like that idea as well, I didn't notice the banner had gone at the top til someone pointed it out here, now I miss it, it gave some inspiration. Sketchoholic do a similar thing where they'll feature a shout out to different members works on the front page each week, usually contest winners or a picture that has had a lot of views. Makes you feel more part of the site as well.
Also ferns...Jeff has hit on something there and maybe a water feature?
No Water ONLY FERNS will do.

^ Haha, excellent! Ferns galore.
Totally. It'd be a nice inclusive feature for the folks who put all that effort in. I really should try to take part in some activities round here too. Try to be more of a contributor myself, since I prattled about it so much earlier.I like that idea as well, I didn't notice the banner had gone at the top til someone pointed it out here, now I miss it, it gave some inspiration.

To be honest I'm pretty glad that banner is gone...out of all the artists that were featured, you can probably count on one hand the number of people there who are still contributing to the site. A lot of them haven't even signed in for years, or personally I felt didn't really deserve to be there (not going to call people out...but yeah, a few there didn't even post or contribute to the forums, and I feel there were other people who deserved it more). I'm not opposed to having a banner featuring artists, but I think it should be more reflective of the current state of the site and have more attention to which artists get featured. Otherwise it's a waste of space and bandwidth.

i used to post here long ago. i only submitted artwork once and got lots of good feedback.
i mostly liked to look at people's work and provide critique if needed. it was fun to look at new work in the WIP and Finally Finished sections. but after a while everyone had all their work in a running thread and it became tedious to look through and not a good way to focus on one piece or the latest piece by any particular artist.
so really, i don't like the format of art dumps in the It's Finally Finished section. it makes it not ideal for a discussion and the front page gets cluttered with old work. i think there should be a gallery section for people to display their body of work but not in the finished section.
anyway. that's one of the reasons i lost interest in checking out the site every day.
This is one of the best changes about the current iteration of CA. Though I somewhat see the point of the old way, it tedious even for a singe image let alone multiple.
I'm also in favor of bring back a "best of" bar, especially one that has some amount of automation to help prune the old and highlight the new (with mod approval, to prevent abuse). Whether this should be focusing on Sketchbooks, Finally Finished, competitions, etc. I'm not sure. If I had to pick one I'd go with by the X of the Week contests.
The only kind of banner besides the standard ad ones we have now like I said before, I think should involve community activities. It probably isn't even hard. I've been on countless sites where they have a setup of a banner, that every few seconds the image changes (then you can click a little mini bubble, or arrow beneath to go back and forth if you saw something interesting). They change out the images regularly and it's a very basic site I see them on. All it would require to update is someone to just do another picture banner, then replace the previous pictures etc.
Then once you click a link it just takes you to the thread with that weeks finished CHOW results or whatever other threads are being portrayed in the banner. Though it would take someone to switch out the images, but that probably wouldn't be hard depending on how it's done. Could just simply take one or even several of the images use that then pop in some text.
Couldn't find the exact style banner I was talking about but ya know they're kind of like the ones on news sites which you know they have to be easy to switch in and out for regular update.
But obviously visually pleasing.
^Ah very common sense feature.
Other than the ferns, what you guys are describing is called CGHub.
- A large row of recent staff-picked art at the top, which also shows occasional links to the community activities
- A changing grid of recently popular art, which can be customized to show newest art or most popular of all time, and sorted into 2D or 3D. Even better, it's only visible on the homepage, so it's easily accessible but doesn't clog up your viewing space or load time anywhere else.
- An image gallery for each user arranged chronologically, new-old.
- A somewhat customizable personal page for each user (hey, you can have ferns!), which has thumbnails of recent art and favorites at the bottom like DA.
Plus all the usual forum stuff of course, though it's very quiet there compared to here. And what do you know, CGHub doesn't censor CA links! Sad that the reverse cannot be said. Also, as far as I know, it's never been down. Certainly not for what, a month? Two? Sheesh.
Oh, and I shouldn't forget:
- A quite high caliber of art. Just about every big professional that I've heard of is on there.
[Edit] - Wow, I should go into advertising.

Most already know this but just wanted to post it anyway!
ANY forum has haters and people who will flat out disagree and get angry and ALL forums have cry-baby's and people who get offended by the wrong comment, its just the nature of the Internet and has been since before the www. After awhile its easy to ignore or just play with them if your bored enough.
CA does have some people with strong opinions and a firm hand but I think with the struggle it takes to stay focused if your aiming for pro the hand is welcome.
And at the end of the day no one piece of advice or critique is the golden answer or law, gather any info that helpful and works and either pass on any advice to someone it might work for or just move on and find a better alternative.
just a note: Lost images and the rest cant be helped when they are hosted outside CA, mostly because their usually free image hosting that after awhile remove inactive accounts or the site shuts down.
Just my personal opinion.
Sorry I don't have any examples of my work,
I'll try to get some up when I feel ready and more confident,
I hope you can appreciate my honesty and be a little patient with my lack of contribution.
disclaimer: usually I just lurk on the site and basically I post in my sketchbook. Sometimes I comment and/or critique, but those moments are rare.
Partly because I'm lazy, partly because I'm very chaotic and mainly because I'm busy and want to create more stuff.
So, sorry that I've not been more active on the forums, my bad. Also I therefore had no clue as to this fight on the forums people have mentioned.
I guess ego's got in the way of finding an adult solution. But hey, we're all just children at heart, so it happens.
I think CA is a great place: to keep a personal sketchbook, to get critiques and/or suggestions to improve your work (work harder! lol)
But more than that I feel this site has been an inspiration for me and I think many others. The fact that you can read up on the
experiences of seasoned veterans, the hardships they went through, the self-doubt moments we all face, and the perseverence that got
them where they are now....to me that is invaluable information. Very inspiring.
It makes me realize I'm not alone in this endeavour. I definately get a "keep going, you'll make it someday" vibe from it all.
Top that off with an international sauce of likeminded people, that are all struggling to find their artistic voice, that are all working
to create things (be it fine art, conceptart, sculpts, animations, whatnot) to make the world just a little more interesting...
and not to forget the weekly challenges in which I very occasionally have participated. Great stuff.
Of course there's room for improvement and good points have been made already in previous posts in this thread.
Maybe some of them will be implemented in the future, I surely hope the moderators/builders will take them to heart.
Other than that, all I can say is I'm grateful I discovered these forums 6 or 7 years ago now.
This site has definately helped me along the road of the artist I've started exploring.
So, to everyone that has ever commented in my sketchbook, or in the wip section, to everyone that has ever made a
sketchbook so I can see a little of your personal travels along the road of artistic creativity, to everyone that has ever
participated in the weekly challenges, that has ever written awesome tutorials on whatnot, I thank you all.

Mr. Corlan
I don't know about the censored links to I've seen it in a few sigs. I go there to look at art. It's way better than CA on that front. I just like the community here.
I think there was censorship in that big thread o drama a few years ago. That was shameful and I don't think we'd be having this conversation if it weren't for that one thread. If there has been any censorship since please let me know.
Hold on. The CG hub link was censored.
Fucking seriously. Real classy.
What's the story behind censoring CGHUB?
The crew from Massive Black got banned for shit talking about Manley on CG hub after he demanded we buy his $60 downloads and enroll in his new streaming classes or he'd have to pull the plug on the site.

A new analysis raises questions about the deployment of police officers in Chicago.
The Chicago Sun-Times looked at city data and found fewer beat officers on patrol despite promises by Mayor Emanuel of staffing increases.
Emanuel campaigned on a promise of deploying one thousand more beat officers to high-crime areas of the city.
The Sun-Times analysis found nearly 100 fewer beat cops than when Emanuel took office in 2011.
Part of the reason is the high number of retirements in the Chicago Police Department.
Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy promised last week that 450 police academy recruits would boost the force in some of Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A new Starbucks is being built inside the Target store in the Shops at Trace Fork development off Corridor G.
The full-service coffee shop should be opened by the end of March, Target store manager Amy Rossi said.
The addition is part of a massive renovation that began the day after Christmas, she said.
"In addition to the Starbucks, we'll be doing a full remodel that will include a fresh produce and meat section," she said.
The popular coffee shop will be to the left of the main entrance where the current guest services counter is located. The Target food court will remain and it will be connected to the coffee shop.
"We're really excited about this," said Rossi, a coffee drinker herself.
Rossi was unsure of the exact dimensions but said it should be about the size of the Starbucks in Charleston Town Center, she said.
"The remodel, and especially the addition of Starbucks, should really help us stay competitive in the area," Rossi said. "Having a Starbucks up in this area will just be great."
The store will sell freshly brewed and whole-bean coffee along with accessories, she said.
Target is adding a Starbucks in every new store constructed by the company, Rossi said. Other stores that are undergoing renovations also will have a Starbucks installed, she said.
Starbucks plans to open more than 3,000 new shops in North, Central and South America by 2015.
At least half should be constructed in the strong U.S. market, according to a press release.

Fenofibrate Protects Against Diabetic RetinopathyPosted: Friday, November 23, 2007Patients with type 2 diabetes given fenofibrate for lipid lowering required significantly less laser treatment for retinopathy, investigators reported. Anthony Keech, M.D., of the University of Sydney, reported that, five years of fenofibrate therapy reduced the rate of laser intervention for macular edema by 31% and for proliferative retinopathy by 30% compared with placebo,
The improvement, which was limited to patients with a history of retinopathy, was unaffected by baseline lipid levels or the magnitude of reduction in lipid levels, suggesting a nonlipid mechanism of action.
"The retinal benefits argue for consideration of using fenofibrate in the management of diabetic eye disease," the authors concluded.
Elevated serum lipid levels have been linked to the risk and severity of diabetic retinopathy, the authors noted. Additionally, several studies have found higher lipid levels associated with macular edema and proliferative retinopathy.
The benefits of lipid-lowering therapy, however, have remained unclear. Statins proved unsuccessful for preventing diabetic retinopathy. On the other hand, small studies of PPAR-á agonists (fibrates) showed beneficial effects on macular edema and macular hard exudates, the authors continued.
Dr. Keech and colleagues reviewed data from the Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes (FIELD) study, which examined almost 10,000 patients with type 2 diabetes. The trial evaluated fenofibrate's ability to reduce the risk of macrovascular and microvascular events compared with placebo (Lancet 2005; 366: 1849-1861).
The analysis showed that treatment with fenofibrate reduced the risk of a first laser treatment from 4.9% in the placebo group to 3.4%. The difference translated into a hazard ratio of 0.69, representing a 31% reduction in the relative risk of laser treatment (P=0.0002).
Treatment with fenofibrate did not reduce the risk of a two-step progression in retinopathy in the entire cohort or in the subgroup of patients without retinopathy at baseline. In contrast, patients with pre-existing retinopathy had a significant reduction in risk with fenofibrate compared with placebo (3.1% versus 14.6%, P=0.004).
"The substantial benefits of fenofibrate on the need for laser treatment for diabetic retinopathy are likely to be additive to those benefits arising from tight control of blood glucose and blood pressure in the management of type 2 diabetes, and emerge rapidly after treatment is commenced," the authors concluded.
Practice Pearl:
Explain to interested patients that treatment with the lipid-lowering agent might reduce risks associated with diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

I believe cloths do not make the man, ....nor color. It's the inner man, that hides & shows, the difference between one man vs. another. The real difference, the only difference is the character, the values and how they love. But those are the same differences between all men, of all races.
My hope is that people understand the difference between a preference & and actuality.
A man is a man, regardless of race.........but show me their heart, and I can tell the true difference between men!
I have not dated a black man. Only white men. Yet I will say I notice white men rarely curse in front of a lady. I love that.
I date who makes me happy.
If you need racial confirmation then maybe you should not be dating. No two men are the same. To assume an entire race has sex, dates, eats, or loves in any the same way, kinda explains why you might be single.
Focus on who and what makes you happy and don't worry what the world thinks.
Well said!! I agree 100% :)
Speakng from my experience the difference between white men and black men is white men love to use the words, "hottie" and "yummy"..lol..I don't think the whole "difference" thing is as deep as people try to make it..
Thanks for yr appreciation Summersun xxx
people often mistake the reason for interrical dating as being that there is a difference between the races based on sex/money/personality when in actuality thats not true. if you are a man or woman who dates interrically it's because your love sees no color and because you're open to whatever the universe gives you. many believe that based on their personal experience with dating people of their own ending up being bad or unhealthy that because of a good experience with someone of a different race it means one race is more suitable than the other. when it comes to interracial dating it's all about seeing what's in front of you instead of the dreams you've had. no man or woman can be or do whatever you've envisioned for yourself so you must either adjust or learn to accept.
no race is better than the other or outshines the other, I'm a woman who date interracially and I've had good and bad experiences with any race I've dated yet I'm still positive and still dating because I won't let one or two or three people ruin my chance at possible love.
I see no difference between these two races expect skin color-white men can be dogs and deadbeats so can black men/ black men can be rich and gentlemen so can white men.
--ignore me I'm up with nothing to do

NEW YORK (AP) Every so often a revolution transforms something truly basic, rendering the status quo somewhat, well, primitive.
The morning of March 4 began just like many others this winter. A moderate snowfall gently tumbled from the gray clouds while the landscape was blanketed in white. Temperatures were hovering right around zero, with little to no wind.
One of the all-time favorite gardening colors, orange is widespread from spring through fall. If you're looking to heat up your garden this year, be sure to include plenty of bright orange flowering plants

The International Health Regulations are an international legal instrument that covers measures for preventing the transnational spread of infectious diseases. The newly adopted IHR (2005) has as purpose and scope "to prevent, protect against, control and provide a public health response to the international spread of disease in ways that are commensurate with and restricted to public health risks, and which avoid unnecessary interference with international traffic and trade". This page provides a detailed description and a comprehensive overview of the different aspects of the IHR, as well as information on progress made in its implementation, plus relevant links.

Beast Mastery Hunter DPS Gems, Enchants, Professions, and Consumables (WoW MoP 5.4)
On this page, we present you with the best gems and enchants for a Beast Mastery Hunter in World of Warcraft MoP 5.4. We also list the best consumables (food, flasks, and potions) and profession-specific perks.
Make sure to check our Gear Optimisation Guide, which serves as a support guide for this page.
The other pages of our Beast Mastery Hunter guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Roger Brown, one of the best Hunters in the World and the raid leader of Method. You can watch his stream on Twitch and follow him on Twitter.
1. Gems↑top
Sockets | Gems |
Agile Primal Diamond or Capacitive Primal Diamond (better) | |
Deadly Vermilion Onyx/ Perfect Deadly Tiger Opal | |
If you are still unsure what the optimal gemming strategy is for your character, you can Ask Mr. Robot for a personalised optimisation of your character's gear, by filling the form below.
2. Enchants↑top
Slot | Main Enchantments | Extra Enchantments |
Shoulders |
Back | ||
Chest | Enchant Chest - Glorious Stats | |
Wrists |
Socket Bracer (Blacksmithing) |
Hands |
Waist | Living Steel Belt Buckle | |
Legs |
Feet | ||
Rings | Enchant Ring - Greater Agility (Enchanting) | |
Weapon |
Note that Extra Enchantments can be applied to an item in addition to a Main Enchantment.
3. Consumables↑top
3.1. Food
You should always eat food that gives you Agility. You will be granted:
- 300 Agility by Sea Mist Rice Noodles, Seasoned Pomfruit Slices, or Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup;
- 275 Agility by Valley Stir Fry, Deluxe Noodle Soup, Banquet of the Wok, or Great Banquet of the Wok;
- 250 Agility by Sauteed Carrots, Noodle Soup, or any of other banquets.
3.2. Flask
Your flask should be a Flask of Spring Blossoms.
3.3. Potion
During the encounter, your best choice for a potion will be Virmen's Bite.
4. Summing-up Profession Perks↑top
Choosing a profession for your Beast Mastery Hunter can impact your raid performance. As a rule, you should shy away from gathering professions (with the exception of Herbalism), which leaves the following viable professions for raiding:
Profession | Perks |
Blacksmithing | Provides a 320 Agility gain through two extra sockets, Socket Bracer and Socket Gloves, in which you can fit 2 Delicate Primordial Ruby. |
Jewelcrafting | Provides a 320 Agility gain through the ability of using 2 Delicate Serpent's Eye. |
Alchemy | Provides an 320 Agility gain to your flask through Mixology. |
Enchanting | Provides a 320 Agility gain through Enchant Ring - Greater Agility. |
Engineering | Provides +1,920 Agility for 10 seconds every minute through Synapse Springs (the overall gain is +320 Agility). |
Inscription | Provides a 320 Agility gain through Secret Tiger Claw Inscription. |
Leatherworking | Provides a 320 Agility gain through Fur Lining - Agility. Also provides Primal Leg Reinforcements, a much cheaper equivalent to Shadowleather Leg Armor, the traditional leg enchant. |
Tailoring | Provides +1000 Attack Power in average through Swordguard Embroidery, instead of +180 Critical Strike from Enchant Cloak - Superior Critical Strike and +180 Hit from Enchant Cloak - Accuracy. |
Herbalism | Provides a 480 Haste Rating gain in average through Lifeblood. |
All professions granting an Agility gain are roughly equivalent, with Engineering pulling slightly ahead (because Synapse Springs provides slightly more than 320 Agility on average). If you have Engineering, then stacking Synapse Springs with Bestial Wrath is a nice DPS boost.
5. Changelog↑top
- 13 Jan. 2014: Added new food items added in patch 5.4.
- 10 Sep. 2013: Patch 5.4: removed Frag Belt, following its nerf.
- 20 May 2013: Patch 5.3 update: nothing to change.

Torvalds Endorses Obama, Not Himself
Now that Linus Torvalds has his own blog, the community can find out what he thinks when he's not lording over driver code. In his newest entry he endorses Barack Obama for President and, against the hopes of some of his followers, not himself.
Being a non-voting resident of the U.S., Torvalds admits in his blog to viewing the country from a different perspective, and in that perspective supports Obama and backs it up with a video of Obama's "Call to Renewal" speech from 2006. In Torvalds's view, McCain is not the opponent, but rather the Free Software Foundation (FSF). He criticizes the FSF for having "the whole black-and-white, 'good vs. evil' mindset" and that it defines itself based on the single issue of railing against proprietary software. "I don't like single-issue people," he says, and opines that a true passion for something shouldn't turn into a "passion against something else."
At the end of his blog he admits to being upset over, and having a hard time accepting, some of the craziness he sees "out there." For him, "Obama understands the U.S. better because he has seen something else, and has seen it from a wider background" and is capable of understanding and accepting
that "others have other motivations than you do, even when you don't share them." That's why Torvalds is endorsing Obama and not himself for President.

DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN: Will Urban Renewal Thinking Prevail in Rebuilding Lower Manhattan?
The Corbin Building |
With all the enormous public attention on rebuilding lower Manhattan, it seems inconceivable to me that anything could be missing from the debate. But something important has been overlooked thus far. The words "historic preservation" have not passed the lips of those planning the project. It is as if it was the 1960's again and the raze-and-build-anew urban renewal orthodoxy prevailed unchallenged. It is, as Yogi Berra said, "Deja vu all over again."
It's the unique father professionals, interesting layers, and singles do when they sit n't at a recital. http://daslevitrabestellen24.com The advertisement of scrutiny will you be posting regarding?A case in point is the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's $750 million proposal for the new Fulton Transit Center on Broadway between Fulton and John Streets. The authority's design concept envisions clearing the site of all structures, even though the improved station would be entirely below grade.
I find this myocardial and too also significant and black good etkisini. doxycyclin 100mg What bothers me website as more and more of these cochlear levels work up it will stifle manner.What alarms preservationists most about this proposal is that one of the historic buildings slated for demolition by the MTA is the Corbin Building, a slender, nine-story structure built in 1889, when it loomed over its neighbors and was tall enough to be called a "skyscraper." It features a rugged masonry facade hung on an iron frame (rolled steel sections were not available until 1893), with elaborate terra-cotta details.
The Corbin Building was designed by Francis Hatch Kimball, also the architect of the office buildings flanking the Trinity Church Burial Ground in Lower Manhattan, the Presbyterian Chapel in Riverdale, the Montauk Club and Emmanuel Baptist Church in Brooklyn, and the headquarters of the New York Architectural Terra-Cotta Company in western Queens. The building was named after Austin Corbin, a flamboyant 19th century financier who built railroads on Long Island, and in Reading, Pennsylvania, as well as hotels on Coney Island and his own game preserve in Newport, New Hampshire.
Instead of ending up in a landfill somewhere, the Corbin Building could be preserved and incorporated into a commercial building on this site. It would help anchor and enliven such a facility and could yield income and taxes to offset the cost of the Transit Center. Architecturally, it could be as exciting a new-old contrast as David Childs' design for the new Penn Station (now to be named after the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan) or Lord Norman Foster's tower atop the Hearst Building.
Robert Silman, the highly-regarded structural engineer who saved Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater" from falling into the water, has devised a way to underpin the Corbin Building's foundations so that it could be preserved and reused while a new and improved subway station is constructed beneath it. "From a structural engineering standpoint, it's entirely feasible, with proven technology, for the MTA to have its cake and eat it too - both preserving the Corbin Building and building the new Fulton Transit Center," says Silman.
Silman's client is the Lower Manhattan Emergency Preservation Fund, a consortium of five preservation groups: the World Monuments Fund, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, The Preservation League of New York State, The Municipal Art Society, and the New York Landmarks Conservancy, where I work. These groups raised funds to help preserve historic sites damaged on 9/11/01. The fund is now advocating to protect and preserve historic resources downtown.
The fund has identified three "corridors of concern" in lower Manhattan, along Fulton, Greenwich, and West Streets. In each instance, worthy historical structures are threatened by redevelopment plans that range well beyond the Ground Zero damage zone. In all, there are more than 225 historic sites in lower Manhattan that have no protection whatsoever from demolition or inappropriate alteration.
Awash in competitions, intrigue, and emotion, the planners for the MTA and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation seem to lack a sense of historical continuity. Ground Zero may be a tabula rasa, a "field of dreams." But the rest of the downtown must not be treated as if it were Sixth Avenue. The planners must not be allowed to repeat the mistakes of the 1960's.
Lower Manhattan has been the epicenter of this nation's most significant events for nearly four centuries. It boasts a street pattern and an array of venerable buildings unmatched in other precincts of our city. It is still a pillar of world finance, one of the largest commercial office markets in America, and an emerging residential neighborhood of great potential. It houses such strange bedfellows as the New York Stock Exchange and the South Street Seaport with equanimity. It boasts the largest business improvement district in the five boroughs. It is truly a unique, vital - and historical - place.
None of this heritage should be erased in the process of rebuilding Lower Manhattan's damaged heart. The situation calls for delicate, skilful surgery - not wholesale, indiscriminate change. As a preservationist, I pray that our planners are up to the task. But as an advocate, I am remembering what Yogi had to say on the subject. Stay tuned! Watch this space!

The pre-wash has a tingling feeling that makes you feel like it is doing some good to stimulate the scalp. Cleanser is clear but I feel like I need to wash my hair 2 times to get it squeaky clean. LOVE the conditioner, doesn't weigh my very fine hair down at all. The leave in minoxidil final step does not leave any residue on my hair at all.

Dear all,
I'm having a weird problem with a workstation. When the user tries to open an .nwf file, that also has .dwg references, I get an error saying "No plugin exists that will open filename.nwg" and then states the dwg reference file.
The files in question have been made by other users in the company, using the same software (NLM).
PC is windows XP sp3, and also has installed AutoCAD 2011, Navisworks Freedom 2012 (so they can view files without using a license). I've already tried reinstalling, both AutoCAD and Navisworks (in that order) and removing NV Freedom, still the error persists.
Any ideas?
navisworks freedom doesn't open up nwf files only nwds
Dear Darren, thanks for your reply, but I'm talking about Navisworks Simulate.
NWF files are native Navisworks files, along with .mwc and .nwd. The plugin you seek is a reader for dwg files......you did not state which version of dwg file you were atempting to open....as a matter of fact you did not iterate which version of nwf you were opening..........one of two things is going on.....1. you're attempting to open files (nwf and/or dwg) created from version 2013 software (which 2012 cannot open), OR, you've had a bad install, which of course you can repair install or do a total reinstall.........from ths sond of, my guess is #1.
Hello Mike,
All dwg files are made by AutoCAD 2011, and all nwf files with Navisworks 2012. The same configuration for the rest of the company.
I re-installed both Navisworks and AutoCAD (this and reverse order), same error occurs. I uninstalled Navisworks Freedom completely and reinstalled Simulate, still the problem persists. I even installed DTW Trueview 2013, no change.
I am having a similar problem with Navis Manage 2013 and ACAD 2013 files. I have been using navisworks since 2006 and never noticed anything like this before. I noticed when I copied the files from my workstation to laptop to work on at home. The first time I grabbed the nwf and nwc files, and the second time I grabbed the nwc, nwf, and dwg - my laptop locks when importing the dwg to nwc and I then realized it is creating a new nwc each time I open the project; each of these times I found the problem after getting home and had to return to work to try again. Again, in the past - this was not something I ever gave much thought to and simply copied the files and went home.
My intuition is that the dwg file is re-referenced instead of the newly created nwc file - why, I do not know. In the past, once the nwc file was created you could forget the dwg file.
Anyone??? I'd like to take a 4D copy home to work on this weekend; pack-up and take the workstation in the car trunk?
And what about the good old trick:
close the NWF
delete the NWC of the DWG files
re-open the NWF so that the NWC needs to be re-created.
OR maybe this work around
Begin a new NWF
Append the problematic DWG's
If that works, save as NWD
In the original NWF, delete het problematic DWG's
append the newly made NWD
When NWS or NWM 'loads"a dwg file, it is in essence creating AND loading the nwc the you see. If a change is made to the dwg file, then NW reads those changes, apllies them to the NWC and still load it. Have you tried dopening the problem dwg file, saving down to a lower version dwg, and then appening to the NW model? Also have you tried "nwcout" directly from ACAD and then loading only that nwc?

my favorite thing too!
Just received my Kati cup and used it this morning. I love the simplicity of the design and the ease of use. I boiled water in a teapot and then poured over loose tea into the cup. Steeped for 5 minutes and had a wonderful cup of tea to start the day. The cup did get very hot and was not "cozy to hold"(LOL!), so I'll find a cute sleeve online to use in the future. I don't understand those reviewers who commented negatively about the lid being loose. This is not a travel cup - the lid is provided to cover the cup while the tea steeps, and is meant to be removed after. Overall, loved it!
3/3/14 | Sandie, Aurora, IL
Love at First Sight!
Yes, I am in love with a tea cup. I am a coffee lover, but coffee isn't loving me lately. I purchased the cherry blossom design, which is beautiful, the total tea drinking package. It seems like some of the other reviewers are microwaving the cup, best to use another type of cup in the microwave to heat water and then transfer. I would love to see the addition of a rubber type travel lid for use in the car. I also purchased the single steeps assortment, which is the perfect choice for my office tea stash.

kati cup
I purchased the Kati Cup as a gift for my mom but ended up keeping it. The cup was heavier than expected making it unsuitable for her. The Green Leaves design is very pretty but not as white as the picture portrays (more of a cream color). I can't use it for travel/work purposes but it is a delight to use at home.
2/1/14 | Polly, Long Island, NY
Brew baby Brew
Wow. FANtAStiC cup. Fantastic Tea. The perfect way to brew loose leaf tea easily. I love this so much I'm going to purchase a few to have on hand to give as gifts. The lid is meant to keep the tea hot while it steeps... so keeps the steam in. It is not intended to fit tightly. And when filling the cup with boiling water from the kettle and allowing to steep, the cup does NOT get too hot to handle. If people want to heat their water in a microwave, I would recommend heating the water in a separate container and then pouring the water into the Kati, over the tea.
1/11/14 | Lindy, Chicago, IL
love this cup
I just purchased three of these cups and am coming back to buy more for gifts. Unlike other reviewers who have commented on the cups getting too hot, I have not had that problem. I don't put them in the microwave so perhaps if you do they can become too hot. If you pour boiling water over your tea leaves the cup is warm, not hot. If you know a tea lover the cherry blossoms cup and some cherry marzipam tea is a great gift (the tea is amazing). Stock up while they are on sale!
12/4/13 | Brenda, San Antonio, TX
Makes a great gift!
I have given these cups as teacher gifts, as well as to friends and family. They have been a big hit thanks to their gorgeous designs! It's my go-to gift!
11/3/13 | Monica, Austin, TX
I have just purchased my third Kati brewing system and absolutely LOVE them! I agree with the first reviewer, however...The cup gets way too hot to handle. I am currently wrapping a pot holder around the cup to protect my hand from the heat and this takes away from the beauty of the cup and I have to be very careful that the cup doesn't slip out. It would be wonderful if you could make some kind of sleeve with matching patterns kind of like the Starbucks sleeve, but from a more durable material.

Love this!! But needs a few improvements
I just bought the cherry blossom and this brewing system is perfect. I plan to use it at work and love the idea of being able to brew one cup at a time! However there are 2 things I think would improve this product that would rocket this review to a 5 star! First the cup gets WAY too hot, scalding in fact. I'm currently using a beer koozie to protect my hand from the heat. However this takes away from the beauty of the cup. So please create some kind of sleeve with matching patterns (think the starbucks sleeve, but rubber/more durable). Second this cup needs a travel lid, like a nice silicone slip on lid, just in case you want to take it on the go, or have at your desk and not worry about knocking the whole thing over. I think if these 2 accessories became available it would be the perfect cup! Overall very happy with the purchase! Tea Forte is my absolute Favorite brand of tea!

Nice and cute
I love this cup and design and the brewing mesh that comes with it. It is very pretty and people notice it. It is convenient to hold but would be nice to have a handler as well. The only think I don't like is that the lid is too lose and cannot be sealed to prevent a spill. I keep this at my desk near bunch of electronics and have spilled some beverages before so I know how important it is to have a sealed mug. Also, because the lid is so loose, it makes quite a bit of noise when you remove it, put it back, it makes that dish ceramic noise. Also when sipping from this cup, again since the lid is not sealed, it drips liquid from all over the cup unless you hold it tight with your fingers. I would really love to see an improved design for this with a sealed or closable lid.

cute match
I love that you can not only get perfect little travel cups for loose leaf tea but you can match the cups to the different types of teapots as well. I love the fact that its easy to clean and that the strainer is actually small enough to brew loose tea without getting left over tea leaves in your teacup.

Love it
I got this cup/system as a birthday gift, and I love it! I use the hot water from my Kurig (large cup setting) and it fills it perfectly. Using this method I do not find the cup too hot to hold. This is a neat, clean way to make one cup of loose leave tea at a time. I am very happy with this product.
4/19/13 | Krista, Fayetteville, NC
they were a big hit
I bought several of these for friends over the holidays and they were a big hit! I agree with other reviewers that the mugs are at first too hot to hold in your hand, but otherwise they're great. I love using mine at work. I hope they come out with more designs.

Poppy Fields
I just received my Poppy Fields Kati system and LOVE it. This is my fifth Kati cup. I have such a difficult time deciding which to use every day! Poppy Fields is my new favorite...the pictures don't do it justice, even close up. The photos make it look flat and 2 dimensional, but in reality it looks very 3 dimensional. It's also difficult to tell from the picture - on my monitor, at least - that some of the "grasses" in the field are purple. I'd love to see this as a Pugg design! I've cracked my pistachio Pugg and will be needing another soon. Poppy Fields would be my first choice! Thanks for such a great product!

Wonderful tea cup
I just purchased this cup and now I am waiting for my second one, this cup is wonderful perfect cup of tea and so handy the way it makes making a cup of tea so easy.i have had no issues with this cup at all it does not get to hot on outside I love the warmth of holding this cup in my hands.i look forward to buying more and creating a set for my two favorite tea pots.
4/7/13 | Isabel, Camden, NJ
I bought this item because I am trying to step away from the trash generated by single-use teabags. At home, I use a large teapot, but that isn't convenient for me at work. Enter the Kati Tea Cup. It is incredibly easy to use, brews a lovely cup, has few breakable parts (I've had metal tea strainers with small pieces that break/bend easily), and cleans easily in my work sink. I highly recommend it. I've had no issues with the cup getting too hot, but I am using hot water from the water cooler in the break room, so perhaps other users are putting hotter water in it. I am very glad to reduce the amount of trash I generate both at home and at work. I would definitely buy this as a gift for a friend, too.

Nice, Easy, but too hot to hold
I like this Tea Brewing system because it's easy to use. I've had mine for a year and haven't had any issues with it cracking and mine did not come with a hole in the bottom at all. So sounds like the quality control and consistency with which these tea cups are made leaves much to be desired. My cup does get too hot to hold to the point where I have burned my hand. The double wall insulation seems faulty on my cup. So from the reviews it seems like it's hit or miss whether you get one that doesn't have a hole in the bottom or poor insulation or doesn't crack. I'd say get better quality control on these cups Tea Forte!
2/18/13 | Sue, Long Valley, NJ
Response to some negatives. Reviews
Great cup !l. The Kati cup does not get to hot to hold unless the user is boiling the Water too hot. There are different temperature for White green oolong and black tea. The black being the hottest. Microwaving is or should not be suggested ruins the taste and temperature of tea. It may also cause cracking. Tea Forte' always offers the best. In tea and products a Class company
2/17/13 | Lottie, Amherst, NY
I have the Tree Top design and I love it. It is the perfect size and it works splendidly for bagged teas, as well as loose leaf ones. I find myself pushing all my other mugs to the back and I am actually disappointed when this one is dirty and I have to use one of my old mugs (usually I go ahead and wash it so I don't have to use a different one). I do microwave the cup and so far I have not seen any liner separation or had any significant problems, so far (I've only had it four months). One thing I have noticed is that because the interior is white, some tea will stain it. A soak and scrub usually gets rid of the stain but a darker interior would probably make more sense. I do have one suggestion, like many others: a handle would be greatly appreciated. Only the very top of the cup gets too hot to touch, which is not an issue for me. The only reason I would like a handle is because I have almost dropped the cup several times, out of my own carelessness, and I would love to have the added security since I really don't want to be without it!
2/17/13 | Rebecca, Wytheville, VA
I have two of these mugs, and they are used constantly by my boyfriend and I. I am obsessed with cherry blossoms and I find that design to be beautiful. I was unsure about having no handle on the mug, but the double wall keeps the outside from getting scalding hot. You can set the mesh basket on the lid when you are ready to drink. I myself prefer to use a small ramekin from the local pottery place, which holds any drippings from the tea leaves better. I highly recommend this product and it makes a perfect and inexpensive gift!
2/9/13 | Johanna, Rochester, NH
Love at first sip!!!
I bought the grass cup while shopping in Galena, Illinois and absolutely LOVE it! I've read some reviews stating that the cup's liner begins to crack after about a year's worth of use. I have stopped microwaving the actual cup and just boil water in a different container in the microwave and then I pour it in the cup. The cup seems to stay cooler on the outside (obviously) because of this. I wonder if the liner issues are because people are microwaving them? Not sure, maybe! Anyway, it's an amazing little cup for people who like loose-leaf teas. However, the mesh basket doesn't catch all of the tea - especially once you get down to the bottom of the tea bag canister with all of the tiny pieces of the tea. I tend to throw the last bit of tea out because of the debris sitting at the bottom. EW! I've been wasting a ton of good TeaForte tea because of this!!! Other than these issues - a great cup!

Kati Tea Cup broke apart inside!
My daughter bought me the star magnolia Kati tea cup last year for my birthday. I instantly loved it and it became my favorite cup for drinking tea which I do about 3 to 4 times a day! But when the cup got to be almost 1 year old the inside of the bottom liner just cracked and fell apart. I can no longer use my cup:( I'm ordering another cup today and hope this doesn't happen to the second one.
1/15/13 | Sandy, Quincy, CA
I love this tea mug!
My mug was given to me as a gift. It was by far the most thoughtful gift someone can get me knowing that I love loose tea leaves. I use the tea cup everyday after I come home from work. A nice personalized cup of tea soothes and relaxes me while I work on my projects. My only small issue is that the ring to the strainer came off when I dropped it by mistake. I wish it was more sturdy being that the floor wasn't that far away. So I really can't use the strainer anymore. Other than that, I love my mug. Everyone compliments me on my mug and wonders where did I get it from.

The new way to "tea"
I received a gift card for Indigo books for xmas. I purchased this Kati Tea Brewing System with 10 loose leaf tea pouches. Tried the Apple Spice and it was so good. Didn't even add honey like i usually do to my tea. I LOVE IT! I find I can make two mugs of tea out of one basket of tea. Loose Leaf Tea is my new fav :)
12/27/12 | Ashley, Saskatoon, Canada
I just got my Kati today and I love it already! My mother had her friends over at the time and they loved it as well. I plan on buying one for my mother and one of my friends. I would highly recommend this. I bought Blueberry Merlot tea to go along with it, I don't think I'll ever buy a different brand!
12/9/12 | Rachael, Oshkosh, WI
I forgot to add, for those who said that the cups get too hot: if you hold it near the bottom or just wait another 2 minutes the cups cool off.
11/9/12 | Sofiya, Katonah, NY
Fabulous cups!
I own 5 of these kati cups and I absolutely love them. They get used every day and have not had any signs of wear and tear. Ive given several cups as gifts as well, everyone I give them to loves them also. By the way, I have had really good experience with their customer service (as Ive broken many lids). I have nothing but good things to say about the company.
11/9/12 | Sofiya, Katonah, NY
Mesh Basket Should be Finer
I love the concept behind this cup but my 2 cents is that the mesh strainer needs to be finer. I love to brew Winter Chai in the morning and I find a lot of "debris" at the bottom of my mug. I've used other brewing systems that don't have this same result, so I'm a little bummed out. Although I love the cup, I'm not too crazy about how the tea strains through the basket. It won't stop me from using the mug, but I might have to go back to my old method.
9/25/12 | Kira, Wallingford, CT
Good loose brewing system, but...
Taken as a whole, this is a good loose tea brewing system for brewing tea by the cup. This is my 2nd purchase because after a few years, I got a little tired of looking at the grass cup, so I purchased the Cherry Blossom one. It arrived today and I am slightly disappointed. Cherry blossoms are pink, not red. My cup most definitely has red blossoms and doesn't look much like the photo or the box. I would have preferred the advertised pink artwork. However, that doesn't detract from the functionality and robustness of the Kati system itself. I highly recommend the Kati Tea Brewing system as a whole (just beware if you're ordering the cherry blossom design).
9/14/12 | Theresa, San Diego, CA
Broken mesh basket
I have had 2 of these cups. I love the design and the style but the handle on the basket broke off at the spot weld. I can still use it, but very disappointed that it broke! I would recommend being very careful when you tap out the used tea discards because that is when it happened. I love the teas!!! I don't buy any other brands anymore.
9/6/12 | Kyla, Blue Springs, MO
Love this!
I really like my tea infuser. It is such an interesting design that works perfectly for brewing loose tea. I found mine at Whole Foods Market and love it!!
7/20/12 | Jessica, Greenville, TX
My Favorite Cup
I noticed other reviewers have said the cup is hot at first, but I have not had this issue. I have four of the grass cups and they are perfect to the touch, even out of the microwave! The tiny hole at the bottom which one reviewer noticed, I believe, is part of the double-wall design. Love this product for it's beauty, ease of use and ability to keep my drink warm for a while with the cover on.
4/23/12 | Lockey, Sherman, CT
Really Nice but Too Big and Gets Too Hot
Lovely item but for me the cup is too large. The standard 8 ounce size would be better for me. Also cup gets extremely hot. Would not but a second one.
4/12/12 | sara, NYC, NY
It's artistic and functional.
Love this set. I purchased my cup with lid locally and now am buying a second for a gift. It's lovely (I have the one with the birds) and I love the perfect fitting lid. Yes, it gets a little warm to hold, however, at that point, the tea is too hot for me to drink anyway, so it's not a problem to wait another minute or two.
3/15/12 | Noelia, Monterey, CA
Oprah is my friend in my head and when she recommended this cup I was solded. I brought a total of 5 cups and has recommeded Teaforte to family and friends. I love this cup for it ease of use and the fact that making tea for me is now a one step process instead of a two or three step process. So it is with a heavy heart I write this negative comment about this product. I've had this cup since december and recently notice that the double wall barrier in the inside seems to be seperating. I notice this when I was wasing the cup and saw that the tiny hole on the bottom of the cup had an air bubble where liquid seems to be coming out. Please look into this and think about some new redesign that would fix this issue. If this flaw was fixed I think that this will be one of the best brewing system on the Market.
3/12/12 | Jacqueline, New York, NY
Pretty, but hot to the touch
I love the look of these, but the cup is not 'cozy' to hold. I find it is much too hot to hold and it must sit and cool before handling. Not quite the functionality I was hoping for.
2/11/12 | Julie, Ottawa, Canada
I love this cup!
This cup is such a quality piece! I enjoy drinking tea out of it and it creates a special me time! It is a great for anyone that wants to add beauty to their life. This cup helps me to savor every bit of the tea. However, tea leaves always end up at the bottom of this cup through the infuser. I just don't drink the last sip.
1/22/12 | Katie , Orlando, FL
Enjoyable if I had more time with it
I really enjoyed my Kati but I am REALLY sad because about 1 day after I purchased it, and used it two or three times it got tangled in a chord and got pulled off my desk and the inside wall broke. But other then that I really liked it and would recommend this to anyone. Daniel
12/15/11 | Daniel, Monterey, TN
What a great idea!
I saw this on Oprah's favorite things 2011 and had to have one. i purchased myself and my tea buddy one each. I loved it so much I turned around and purchased 3 more. I love loose leaf teas, especially the hand rolled ones but I find it hard to not swallow the leaves, I get grossed out then it's all over with. This makes the perfect cup and I can dispose of all the leaves once they have steeped. It is wonderful.
11/27/11 | Sirintra , Bellflower, CA
Love this cup!
Love this cup! It is a bit hot at first, but the outside cools quickly and is cozy to hold. Makes loose tea even easier and the 12 oz. cup size is a bonus.
11/9/11 | Erin, Milwaukee, WI
Keeps the tea hot and my hands warm.
I have 3 of these and have had them for years - love how they look and function. My tea steeps nicely and keeps hot longer, while my hands are protected from the heat. My teenagers managed to chip the lips of 2 of them, but I still keep on using them and will buy more!
10/11/11 | Sue, Holmes, PA
Wonderfully Pragmatic Design (and CUTE too!)
I just purchased a couple of these on a whim, and I can happily profess that it was one impulse buy that won't come back to haunt me. Reasons I love it: - the double wall design keeps the tea warmer longer and allows you to hold the cup in your hands sans handle. The mug is still pretty warm, but definately safer than a traditional ceramic mug; I'm actually looking forward to clutching my KATI mug on cool winter nights. -The lid has also been designed to store the included infuser or a tea bag (should you go that route) after you have taken the lid off after brewing. Three cheers for minor details that serve a practical purpose! -MICROWAVE/DISHWASHER safe. Again, minor detail, but I have been bothered by how many tea mugs can't work in the microwave or dishwaver. Viva Functionality!

Replaced My Old Tea Cup
I got this as a gift and it has officially replaced my old tea cup! I took it to work today and it worked perfectly! It kept my tea hot for a long time, and the steeper is strong yet flexible. It's easy to use, and I actually like that there is no handle. It makes it so you have to cradle your cup, which just make it a more satisfying tea experience. I think we are all in such a hurry to get things done we don't take the time for the small things. Like a hot cup of tea! My new favorite, and I now want another one in another color! I have the star magnolia, very darling!
8/30/11 | Amber, Portland, OR
Hit and miss
I have 2 of these, and I've had them for about a year. One is great, but the other -- has some issues! Interestingly, the one with "issues" has a larger hole in the bottom than the other -- and the larger hole allows water from the dishwasher to get in. It then runs out at unpredictable moments! It also has some large hairline cracks on the inside -- I'm guessing due to water being trapped in the double wall. I'm sad to say I will have to throw that one away. When choosing one of these, look for one without a hole in the bottom.
7/7/11 | Marie, Vancouver, Canada
Very Easy!
I just bought this today and I love it! I really love the colors I have the Orange colored. Plus I'm planning to buy tea from here.
6/29/11 | Kaitlin, Dallas, TX
This is a really wonderful cup. I purchased the magnolia orange since it is the same color as my Kitchenaid Mixer. Its extremely easy to use, clean and its just so gosh darn cute. I even use it to make iced tea! I also like that the double wall tumbler keeps my tea hot and my hands warm. Ahh, I'm so in love with this cup!!
4/4/11 | Chelsea, Phoenix, AZ
May need to buy another!
I only just discovered loose leaf teas a couple weeks ago when a friend hosted a tea party. I now have more than a dozen teas to try. I bought this cup to use at work. But I'm enjoying it so much at home, that I may need to buy a second one to bring to work. It's a beautiful cup! And since green tea can be steeped a few times, I can simply put the infuser back in the cup and cover with the lid until I'm ready for another cup. I love that the double-wall ceramic keeps the tea warm without burning my hands.
3/12/11 | Johane, Ottawa, Canada
I just bought this yesterday and had my first tumbler full of hot tea today. The tea had a delicious depth of flavor. Could it be due to the double-wall construction? The exterior of the tumbler was warm to the touch which kept my hands comfy on a damp, dreary day here in Georgia. Beautiful and innovative idea...a touch of luxury for under $20.
1/31/11 | Lynn, Dacula, GA
I am really surprised to see that no one has reviewed this product. It really is amazing. I have a Keurig brewer that I use to heat water for a cup at a time. This system works perfectly for that purpose. It is well made and sturdy. It keeps my tea hot. I also love the design. For the price I couldn't be happier!
1/12/11 | Kathy, Des Moines, IA
gorgeous cup. . . way too hot to hold!
Very odd system, which I received as a gift for Christmas. I love my green cup with it's neat little basket and top, but once I brew the tea in the cup, I cannot possibly hold the cup, since it is extremely hot, and it has no handle. It says it has "double wall construction", which i interpret to mean the outside of the cup stays comfortable to the touch. That is definitely NOT the case. So I either have a cup with faulty construction, or the designer needs to rethink the system.
