The church itself, although of a large size, is hidden behind trees. When I arrive, members of a music group are unloading their instruments from a van and carrying them inside. I just sneak in between them, fortunate for the chance to see the church interior. The walls and ceiling are totally covered with white and blue ornaments. The scenery reminds me of some of the wooden churches that I visited last year in Slovakia, although those churches are much smaller. The floor of the church in Jawor is completely filled with rows and rows of wooden benches: it has room for 6000 people.
And this church is a Protestant one (not Orthodox or Catholic as in Slovakia), however more exuberant than usual to be able to compete with the Catholic baroque splendour of its neighbours. There are no less than 143 biblical scenes painted on the walls, and an ornate high altar. A wonderfully preserved and original site, and still in use.
I had wanted to visit Swidnica too – but I didn't plan very well and just couldn't find the town! Back in my hotel I looked it up in Google Maps and noticed that it is located about 20 km southeast of Jawor. According to the ICOMOS evaluation the two remaining churches are quite similar, so I don't feel too bad about it.
Ian Cade (England):
These churches actually were an interesting change for this serial church visitor, the wooden construction suited the ornate but still charming painting. I also found it easy to discern the story and importance of these structures, relating back to a story of tolerance for Protestant minorities.
My initial plan was just to visit Jawor and that is where I headed first. Luckily I had read Els' note about it not being instantly obvious and checked on street view first how to get there, it still didn't stop me from doing an extra lap of the town's one way system. The church sits in a nice park and is rather hidden despite its large bright white bulk.
Stepping inside was certainly a "wow" moment, the amount of painted wooden surfaces contrasted with the golden chandeliers. The attendant asked me which language I would like the tour in and queued up the English one next on the sound system, in the interim I practiced my German by trying to understand the audio tour put on for the only other visitors. This wait allowed me to stroll around the creaky nether regions of the church trying to identify the painted biblical scenes. As the English tour reached its conclusion a large Polish tour group arrived, filling the church and giving an idea of how the church may feel during a service. The attendant then turned on all the chandeliers and the already impressive interior seemed to swell to greater proportions.
The rebuilding of a bridge meant my route back to Wroclaw took me with in 10km of Świdnica, so it seemed rude not to call in. Like Jawor the church here is in a nice park and you can't see much of it from the road. You can certainly see the two churches were built in the same circumstances. Świdnica felt somewhat darker with the reds and golds lingering in my colour memory. The large scale painted scenes were spectacular and the finest to my eye. However I think Jawor was the church that suited my taste more.
These churches were rather impressive and do a good job of illustrating an interesting story in European history, a very worthy diversion if you are in the area.
[Site 7: Experience 6] Date posted: December 2014 Klaus Freisinger (Austria):
There are plenty of wooden churches all across Central and Eastern Europe, and most seem to be inscribed on the WH List as well. Still, these 2 are definitely worth seeing, and their architecture is really impressive. I first went to Jawor, then to Swidnica - both towns are not too far away from Wroclaw, and a visit to both makes a nice day trip, which is also reasonably easy to do by public transport (although a bit time-consuming). Both churches are quite impressive, although the one in Swidnica is bigger and definitely gets more visitors (Swidnica is also a much bigger town than Jawor). It is really hard to believe that both are Protestant churches, as they are quite lavishly decorated. When Silesia was still part of the Habsburg domains in the 17th century, the local Protestants were granted permission to build these churches as a gesture of goodwill after the carnage of the Thirty Years' War and the following Peace of Westphalia. There were some rather petty conditions attached, though, such as the prohibition to use any other building material but wood, or the requirement that the churches be built outside the city walls. Still, the locals built them within a year (another condition), with the financial help of Protestants from across Northern Europe. Quite a remarkable achievement, really, and true to their name, they function even today as symbols of reconciliation between Poland and Germany. Date posted: September 2014 John Booth (New Zealand):
Last October I reached both churches in one day from Wroclaw. I travelled by train to Jawor, changing at Legnica. Later I caught a bus from the Tesco car park in Jawor to get to Swidnica, then returned from Swidnica by bus direct to Wroclaw.
Both churches were open for visits, and at Jawor I received a recorded commentary in English. But at Swidnica there were only brochures in Dutch. But the profusion in both churches of religious artwork and gilded decoration was stunning. Date posted: January 2014 Assif Am-David (Israel):
I recently visited the town of Swidnica where one of the two surviving Churches of Peace still stands. The town is about an hour away from Wroclaw and easily accessible by a minibus from Wroclaw railway station.
Swidnica is a very nice Renaissance town with a small and well preserved historic core. It also seems to be a lively town despite its small scale. The Church of Peace is situated 10 minutes walk from the main square, where it once stood outside the city walls.
The church is huge, wooden and densely ornamented - a special and quite impressive combination. It also features a complex row of galleries, each of which is covered by frescoes.
Unfortunately, I couldn't have a coplete impression of the church during my visit as I couldn't go up to the galleries. I hope this is possible in general and that this was only due to current renovations, because it seems the view from the galleries is much wider and gives a better grasp of the building.
Moreover, even on the ground floor I was limited to only one half of the church, so I couldn't really see enough different angles of what seems to be an elaborate building. Nonetheless, this is an exceptional church and does merit a visit. I do wonder though whether Swidnica is indeed the better choice of the two inscribed (the other one is in Jawor) if you can't make it to both. Date posted: September 2012 Christer Sundberg (Sweden):
It wasn't easy to get to Swidnica but with some assistance from a few Polish bus companies I eventually found the small town at the foot of the Sudeten Mountains. My guidebook told me that in medieval times, Swidnica was one of the wealthiest towns in Silesia and a commercial centre well known for its beer, sold as far away as Prague. To me it looked like a small copy of neighbouring Wroclaw but with a certain charm of its own.
Just a few minutes walk from the city centre is the unique wooden Church of Peace, erected in 1656-57. Together with its "cousin" in the nearby village Jawor, it's the largest wooden church in the world, seating over 3500 people if necessary. The 17th-century baroque interior decoration is absolutely brilliant, covering walls and ceilings and given that it's all built in wood a small prayer that it will last for many years to come, might be in place…   Jose Gomes (Portugal): Roman (Czechia) did a very nice description of these churches. We used our own car to reach these sites and we found it very easy, even despite it is very dangerous to drive in Poland. The paintings on the walls are very nice. For those visiting Krakow it is not "far" since there is a motorway (there are a few in Poland but this picture will change in a few years due to the entrance of Poland in the European Union) connecting Krakow and Wroclaw (another UNESCO site). Date posted: September 2006 Lawrence Siddall (U.S,A,): I was an American Peace Corps volunteer teaching English in a high school in Swidnica, Poland, from 1997-99. I visited the Peace Church many times and, with permission from the pastor, I made a new cassette recording in English about the church that is available to visitors; one can also listen to a recording in German or Polish. The church is an architectural gem and one of the most beautiful in Poland.
My last visit there was in September,2005. Date posted: April 2006 Sazanami (Japan):
Churches of Peace are great artistic achievement with Catholic-like innner decorations,even though Protestants'.
The magnificient atmosphere is covering these wooden architecture and are welcome for the visitors kindly.
When I went there,both churches were closed but,caretakers of each churches unlocked it for me and I could see inside.
I recommend this world heritage site strongly,if someone is about to travel in Poland. Date posted: February 2006 Roman (Czechia): I have visited the Church of Peace in Swidnica. There is another one in Jawor and the third one was built in Glogow, but it burned in 18th century. The churches were built after the Peace of Westphalia, when the Lutheran Protestants were allowed by German emperor to built their churches. The building conditions were very restrictive as they must have been built during one year only, at the back of the city walls and only timber, clay and sraw as unstable materials could have been used. They were supported by very rich protestant famillies and they made something, what considering the condition is really breathtaking. The church in Swidnica is in a peacefull park and the timber-framed walls of the church look interesting. The inside is absolutelly excellent. There is a great baroque interior completely carved in wood. There are two galleries, so the church seats about 7,000 people. The wood is painted in gold and the frames of the galleries look like laces. Really exceptional place.

"The vertical farm is a world-changing innovation whose time has come. Dickson Despommier's visionary book provides a blueprint for securing the world's food supply and at the same time solving one of the gravest environmental crises facing us today."--Sting
Imagine a world where every town has their own local food source, grown in the safest way possible, where no drop of water or particle of light is wasted, and where a simple elevator ride can transport you to nature's grocery store – imagine the world of the vertical farm.When Columbia professor Dickson Despommier set out to solve America's food, water, and energy crises, he didn't just think big - he thought up. Despommier's stroke of genius, the vertical farm, has excited scientists, architects, and politicians around the globe. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Despommier explains how the vertical farm will have an incredible impact on changing the face of this planet for future generations. Despommier takes readers on an incredible journey inside the vertical farm, buildings filled with fruits and vegetables that will provide local food sources for entire cities. Vertical farms will allow us to:- Grow food 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
- Protect crops from unpredictable and harmful weather
- Re-use water collected from the indoor environment
- Provide jobs for residents
- Eliminate use of pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides
- Drastically reduce dependence on fossil fuels
- Prevent crop loss due to shipping or storage
- Stop agricultural runoff
DR. DICKSON DESPOMMIER spent thirty eight years as a professor of microbiology and public health in environmental health sciences at Columbia, where he has won the Best Teacher award six times, and received the national 2003 American Medical Student Association Golden Apple Award for teaching. His work on vertical farms has been featured on such top national media as BBC, French National television, CNN, The Colbert Report, and The Tonight Show, as well as in full-length articles in The New York Times, Time Magazine, Scientific American, and The Washington Post. He recently spoke at the TED Conference, Pop!Tech and the World Science Festival and has been invited by the governments of China, India, Mexico, Jordan, Brazil, Canada, and Korea to work on environmental problems. He has been invited to speak at numerous national and international professional annual meetings as a keynote speaker, and at universities, including Harvard and MIT. He is one of the visionaries featured at the Chicago Museum of Science and Technology. Despommier lives in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
"A captivating argument that will intrigue general readers and give policymakers and investors much to ponder." --Kirkus Reviews
"A visionary known the world over, Despommier believes that the 'vertical farm is the keystone enterprise for establishing an urban-based ecosystem' and for 'restoring balance between our lives and the rest of nature." --Booklist (starred)
"Despommier has quickly become the central figure in what could be a worldwide revolution." –Scientific American
"Nobody has ever dreamed as big as Dr. Dickson Despommier." --New York Magazine
"Despommier's . . . ingenious idea . . . could ultimately ease the world's food, water, and energy crises." --The Huffington Post
"Dickson Despommier is a futurist, an architect, and an intellectual in the same vein as Leonardo da Vinci, I. M. Pei, and Buckminster Fuller. Vertical farms will be remembered as one of the preeminent breakthroughs of the early 21st century, and Despommier will be remembered as the man who brought them to us." --Josh Tickell, director of Fuel, winner of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award for Best Documentary"This book makes the case that urban agriculture can go vertical as well as horizontal, putting all those expanses of pretty glass to some actual use!" --Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
"Cities of the future must generate their own food supply. Dickson Despommier's elegant, simple answer for achieving this goal is vertical farming. Welcome to the third green revolution."--Peter Diamandis, Chairman of the X Prize Foundation and Co-Founder of the Singularity University

Michelle_My_Belle's Note:
This recipe spawned from a can of apple pie filling, a long week, no milk and a craving. I looked high and low on the site for a recipe that truly looked easy as I was dog tired and nothing that I found had the ingredients I wanted or liked, and I wanted a completely covered pie like top without all the work of making a pie crust. This is the result, enjoy! I would think you can substitute other pie fillings, but the extra stuff in the filling mix may need to be adjusted/omitted. This recipe works best if put in an 8" round glass dish produces a thin cobbler and enough topping to coat it completely without a lot of fuss trying to make it stretch. For anything larger I would at least double or if you like more filling, just double those ingredients. Goes great with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top!
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (But NOT melted, 1 stick)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup flour
- 1Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 2Mix filling ingredients in a round 8" glass oven proof dish. Spread as evenly as you can.
- 3Cream softened butter and brown sugar until smooth, add cinnamon.
- 4Blend in flour in batches until soft dough forms.
- 5I grabbed small balls, and pressed them between my palms to form an oval like patty.
- 6Slowly cover the entire top of the cobbler starting at the edges and moving around. Definitely not a science here that's just what worked for me.
- 7After the whole top is covered, fill in thinner spots left from overlapping pieces and gently press into a uniform topping.
- 8Use a butter knife to put small but sorta wide (so they don't close when it bakes) holes to help vent steam.
- 9Bake for 1 hour at 350°F, checking halfway through that your vents didn't close up.
- 10Almost all of the topping should have a light golden brown appearance, and the edges should not give when pressed lightly.
- 11For ease in serving, cool slightly and cut slices before spooning into bowls.
- 12Top with your favorite ice cream and enjoy!

US 4660048 A Abstract A microstrip antenna system is comprised of either a single antenna element (patch) or a plurality of stacked antenna elements having one or more feedpins connected to a corresponding number of conductive elements (flags) capacitively coupled to the antenna element or elements. The one or more feedpins have an inductive reactance which is cancelled by trimmed flags to provide the capacitance necessary to cancel the inductance for tuning the one or more antennas and providing maximum gain and minimum VSWR.
Claims(9) 1. A microstrip antenna comprising:
(a) a groundplane substrate; (b) a hybrid stripline circuit disposed above the groundplane substrate, said hybrid circuit having an input terminal for receiving microwave energy and an output port for outputting polarized microwave energy; (c) a layer of dielectric material formed on the hybrid circuit; (d) a plurality of antenna forming electrical conducting and dielectric layers alternatively formed on the ground plane of the hybrid circuit beginning with the electrical conductive layer and ending with a top dielectric layer; (e) a conductive flag formed on the top dielectric layer; and (f) a feedpin electrically interconnecting the hybrid circuit and conductor flag for capacitively feeding the antenna forming conductive layers. 2. A microstrip antenna according to claim 1 wherein, the groundplane substrate is a metal clad honeycomb dielectric structure forming a lightweight strongback mounting plate.
3. A microstrip antenna according to claim 1 wherein the hybrid circuit is a circularly polarized type hybrid circuit.
4. A microstrip antenna according to claim 1 wherein the hybrid circuit is a linear polarized type hybrid circuit.
5. A microstrip antenna according to claim 1 wherein the plurality of antenna forming electrical conductor and dielectric layers are copper clad dielectric layers.
6. A microstrip antenna according to claim 1 wherein the conductive flag is a variable length metal strip formed on the top dielectric layer.
7. A microstrip antenna according to claim 1 wherein the feedpin is electrically insulated from the antenna forming electrical conductive layers, selectively positioned from the centers of the antenna forming electrical conductors for forming a 50 Ohm matching impedance and forming an inductive reactance, said conductive flag having a preselected length for providing capacitance for cancelling the inductive reactance to tune the antenna and provide maximum gain.
8. A microstrip antenna according to claim 1 wherein the antenna forming conductive layers have preselected dimensions for antennas having preselected frequencies.
9. A microstrip antenna system comprising a plurality of the microstrip antenna according to claim 1.
Description This invention relates to antennas and more particularly to microstrip antenna systems. In the past, microstrip antennas referred to at common parlance as "patch antennas" have comprised a planar resonant radiating element parallel to, but separated, from a ground plane by a thin dielectric substrate. They have been fed from the back through the ground plane or from the edge by depositing microstrip lines on the dielectric substrate. Such antennas have been both linearly and circularly polarized. More specifically these microstrip patches have been fed utilizing a microstrip feed that resided on the same substrate that the patch was on. This was convenient in that the feed network could be etched at the same time as the patch circuits. Microstrip tuning elements could also be incorporated into this design to match the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the patches. The problem with this design is its susceptability to electro magnetic pulses (EMP) from a nuclear detonation. This method of feeding a patch is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,713,162 issued Jan. 23, 1973 to Robert E. Munson et al for a "Single Slot Cavity Antenna Assembly" In the microstrip patch fed from the rear using a connector or coax cable, the ground of the coax or connector terminates on the ground plane of the patch and the center conductor passes up through the ground plane and patch substrate to terminate on the patch itself. A problem of this structure is that it to is susceptible to EMP coupling into the system. Another problem with the above-mentioned patch antennas is that they could not be stacked using either of the known feed mechanisms and achieve a low VSWR through easily implemented impedance matching techniques. Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved microstrip antenna. Another object of the invention is to provide a microstrip patch antenna having substantially reduced EMP coupling into the system. Still another object of the invention is to provide a stacked microstrip patch antenna which allows the patches to be impedance matched to achieve a low VSWR. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a stacked patch antenna having substantially increased bandwidth of the patches. Briefly stated, this invention is comprised of a microstrip patch antenna having an open circuit microstrip line to capacitively couple the feed line to the patch element. In a stacked multiple frequency system, the upper patch is the ground plane for the open circuit microstrip line. Other objects and features of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a plan view of the microstrip patch antenna constituting the subject matter of a first embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the FIG. 1 microstrip patch antenna along the line A--A; FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a stacked multi-frequency patch antenna constituting a second embodiment of the invention. FIG. 4 is a plan view of a multiple patch antenna system. Referring now to FIG. 1, the capacitively coupled microstrip patch antenna 10 comprises a groundplane 12, dielectric 14 (FIG. 2), antenna element or patch 16 (FIG. 1) and capacitively coupled feed lines 18, 20, 22 and 24. The groundplane 12 may be, for example, a copper or aluminum sheet and the dielectric layer may be, for example, a Teflon fiberglass substrate sold by the 3M company. The antenna element 16 is, for example, a layer of copper formed on the dielectric. The capacitively coupled feed lines 18,20,22 and 24 are each comprised of an open electric circuit formed by a dielectric layer (an insulator) 26 over the patch 16 upon which the open circuit elements 28 (flags) are formed. Feed pins 30 pass through clearance holes 32 of the patch 16 and are soldered or wire bonded by leads 34 to the open circuit elements 28. Thus, as far as the dc path is concerned the patch is electrically isolated from the feed pin. Referring now to FIG. 3, in which a second embodiment of the invention consists of a multilayered patch antenna, an additional antenna elements (patches) 36 and 40 are separated by dielectric 38. Patches 36 and 40 act as groundplanes, respectively, for the antenna elements 16 and 36. Patch 40 is separated from a hybrid feed circuit 44 by a dielectric 42. The hybrid circuit 44, which is itself a stripline package, is mounted upon a metal clad ground plane 12. The hybrid circuit is an out-of-phase power divider providing, for our example, equal power 0. 90, 180, and 270 degrees out of phase to feed pins 18, 20, 22 and 24. Alignment of the hybrid circuit and ground plane is accomplished by alignment pins 46. The metal clad ground plane 12 is a copper clad Teflon fiberglass layer mounted upon a honeycomb substrate 48 mounted upon a mounting plate 50. Mounting plate 50 may be, for example, a fiberglass plate. The groundplane 12, honeycomb substrate 48 and mounting plate 50 form a light weight strongback mounting having walls forming an aperture for a polarized output 52. It will be appreciated by those persons skilled in the art that with the capacitively coupled feedlines 22, 24, 18 and 20 (FIG. 1) being located at the 0, 90, 180, and 270 degree points, a circularly polarized antenna is provided. A circularly polarized antenna is used for descriptive purposes only and not by way of limitation. It will be readily appreciated by one skilled in the art that the invention can be employed with a linearly polarized antenna without departing from the scope of the invention. Those persons skilled in the art of patch antennas will recall that the centers of the patches 16, 36 and 40 are at zero potential and at the outer edges the potential is very high (hundreds of ohms); thus, a good 50 ohm match is achieved by selectively locating the feedpoints a distance from the center determined by trial and error. The characteristic impedance of the open circuited microstrip line is approximately equal to -jZo CotBl where: Z=characteristic impedance of microstrip line; B=base constant of line (also 2 pi/lambda); l=length of line; and lambda=the effective wavelength at the operating frequency. As the length of the line approaches 1/4 wavelength, the impedance approaches zero ohms. For lengths less than 1/4 lambda, the impedance becomes capacitive. The microstrip patch utilizing a rear pin feed inherently has an inductive impedance owing to the length of the pin. The inductive reactance of the feed pins 30 is offset by the length of their flags 28 (FIG. 1). In the initial design, tuning is accomplished by trimming the length of the flags. This method of feeding is especially effective as it allows a variable capacitance to be introduced which cancels out the inductance of the feed pin. With an antenna as described herein, a 1.1 to 1.5 voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) with maximum gain can be readily obtained. The dimensions of the patches 16, 36 and 40 determine their frequencies. For example, in a global positioning system (GPS) with a nuclear detonation detection information function, the patches 16, 36 and 40 have frequencies of 1575 MHz, 1381 MHz and 1227 MHz, respectively. The 1575 and 1227 MHz frequencies of patches 16 and 40 are the GPS position determining frequencies and the 1381 frequency of patch 36 is the frequency of transmission used by nuclear detection systems. Any number of the multilayer patch antennas can be combined in a system (FIG. 4), for example, in the Ground/Airborne IGS Terminal twenty-eight such antennas are used. Although several embodiments of this invention have been described, it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that various modifications to the details of construction shown and described may be made without departing from the scope of this invention.

'Breakthrough' in Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
In a surprise opportunity for peace, a few hundred business leaders in Israel and Palestinian areas join up to demand their governments make a deal. Unlike other grass-roots efforts, this one has both clout and the courage of conscience.
In ending world conflicts, solutions often don't start in the halls of government. Young people, religious figures, writers, or academics can galvanize popular momentum for peace. Could this now be the prototype for Israelis and Palestinians to finally achieve a two-state solution?
Last week, a few hundred top business leaders in Israel and the Palestinian territories announced an initiative to "send a message" to their respective governments to negotiate a peace deal. Unlike previous grass-roots efforts – such as joint schools, camps for children, or meetings of rabbis and imams – this one has scope and prestige. Together, the firms represent about a third of the area's economy and employ tens of thousands of workers.
The Breaking the Impasse initiative was not an easy one to cement. Leaders held more than a dozen talks in secret over the past year. They met in places like Turkey or Switzerland to overcome differences. They had to convince enough business executives to summon the courage to face political heat – even possible threats – from extremists in Israel and the West Bank.
"We hear the voice of the extremists, but the majority is silent," said Yossi Vardi, a famous Israeli investor in high-tech start-ups. "We believe that most of the people want to get an end to the conflict."
Businesses often provide a bridge to peace. That was true for South Africa in the 1980s, and perhaps today between Taiwan and China or between North and South Korea. More than 20 years ago, the United States tried to get Arab and Israeli investors to work together. The best model is the postwar alliance between France and Germany to use economic union as a peace driver in Europe.

Son and DIL just purchased and closed on their home (an obvious flip, but clean and sound) a couple weeks ago, showed up on time for their home inspection, the guy had already been there for an hour. Everything seemed pretty straight-forward, there were a couple minor-mid issues that were taken care of or resolved to their satisfaction. On moving day several key issues started to come to light: the kitchen faucet rapidly declined in output, ice-maker in the fridge started leaking. Then we noticed there was NO DRYER VENT. I mean none. Not even a hole in the wall to connect to. Bath time that night revealed a tub drain that would not seal at all so no bath for the baby. The first SHOWER revealed a very slow-draining tub that caused gurgling in the sink and TOILET. Second shower produced backflow from the toilet into the tub. A call to the plumbers produced the discovery that there was no drain cleanout on the plumbing (or so the plumbers said, not sure I believe that one) and they had to install a new one. Turns out there were RAGS in the line!!!!! As in, actual shop towels! Then when son went yesterday to prep the gas line for their ng dryer the rusty valve practically crumbled in his hand and he had to have the gas company out late last night. (Don't yet have the full story, there.) DS said there was an issue where the gas valve was so close to new tile and drywall that it would not open fully, and he thought he would have to knock out some tile. And now I am po-ed on their behalf. I think their inspector was crap. DH and I have purchased five homes in our 25 year marriage, and we learned a painful lesson right at the beginning about crap inspections. IMO this was one. But maybe I am wrong. Can anyone with experience weigh in on this? If they have recourse against the inspection company what would that look like? This is a young couple who barely scraped enough money together to get into a reasonable home. The expenses that have incurred already seem to me to be outside the realm of their responsibility. They asked for and got a home warranty, but money is still flowing out of their pockets. I understand (boy howdy, do I!) that owning a home comes with expenses, and stuff happens. But this seems excessive. Anyone agree or disagree? (cross-posting this in the Kitchens forum) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Does your state have a written disclosure from the seller, what does it state? I believe they may a refund of the inspection fee paid, but I can't believe it is much money. As parents I would suggest you help them find out what recourse they have, do that then help them move on and understand home ownership entails expenses. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 11:00
Yes, they have a written disclosure, which (for the most part) jives with the inspection report. It is the things that are not disclosed and were not caught by inspection (and should have been, IMO, that are at issue here. PS, I should add that the icemaker was an easy fix, there was a piece of packing styrofoam jammed in the outlet valve. But if this easy spot and fix was overlooked, what else was missed? |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 11:21
So, the ice maker is fixed w/o cost. The rags could have been thrown down the toilet after the inspection and probably were. I can't see that costing more than $300. The tub drain stopper costs $10. And the gas company probably fixed the gas valve for free. The only potentially big deal I see here is the lack of a dryer vent. How did they take care of that? |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 12:09
ncrealestateguy, thanks for weighing in from a realtor's perspective. Don;t you think this is not really about the money spent but about the fact that this inspector does not appear to have done his job? I just got off the phone with DIL and she said gas company turned off the gas main, furnace valve was leaking too. And that the inspector never went into the crawl space, just did a flashlight visual (of a 1500 sq ft crawlspace?) from the opening. How do they even know he went into the attic and inspected that properly? Again, this is not about the money. yes, they have spent about 300 dollars so far on tradesman, additional money on tools and parts to fix problems (she and I installed a dryer vent ourselves, and quite successfully...but again, beside the point) This is most certainly about a crappy inspection. And believe me, I have a history that allows me to know a crappy inspection from a thorough one. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (email@example.com) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 12:51
If that is the case, that he did not enter the crawlspace, I would demand to be reimbursed for the inspection cost. Send him a certified letter, list all of the missed items, let him know that you know that he did not inspect the crawlspace, and based on this you need to be reimbursed. His response will let you know where to take it next. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 13:22
Fair enough. Any chance they will foot the bill for a LEGIT inspection from a different company? At this point they may as well not have had one at all and now they are stuck with what they've got. |
greenhaven, so sorry to hear that your son and DIL have had to deal with all of this. Maybe you can look at a copy of the inspection report and help them interpret it, and maybe get another inspection done to catch potential problems? Did they know at the time of the inspection, or does it state in the report, that the inspector did not physically enter the crawlspace? In our area that seems to fairly typical that general inspectors will look but not crawl/enter attics/walk the roof -- you'd need to make special arrangements for that. (Also, our area has a lot of homes without cleanouts, I've never seen the lack of one disclosed or on an inspection report -- but maybe that is a local thing.) Good luck, I hope they are able to enjoy their new home soon. |
- Posted by greenhaven (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 13:45
Oaktown, thank you. They were actually there when he opted out of entering the crawlspace. I am in total agreement that it is time to go through the documentation and try to get a clearer picture. As for special arrangements, I am not sure but I think they paid for a higher level of inspection on our advice (because we have sooo been screwed in the past.) I cannot, ATM, verify that, however. They were so excited to move into their first home! We all know stuff happens, they get it. But this has definitely put a damper on their spirits. Hopefully nothing else major is wrong and they will soon be able to forget the early pains of adjustment. |
Nothing else major? With all due respect, I don't think any of this was really major. The non-existant dryer vent is strange and should have been caught. The plumbing problems (ie. rags) probably happened after the inspection. So that's not the inspectors fault. I won't comment on the gas valve since you don't seem to have a clear picture of what the problem was there. The inspection may have been crap. I'm not saying otherwise. But the problems found so far have not been a big deal in the grand scheme of things. |
After talking to my realtor and reading my buyer's inspection report I have a better idea of how limited a buyers inspection is. Realtor told us that the inspector isn't allowed to move much or turn on any valves due to liability if that causes a problem. Not to mention everything in the walls is off limits. So our house report has a lot of "could not verify X recommend hiring an X inspector." I am not saying this is how your son and DIL report is written, but it might be a bunch of "can't verifies" and the inspector is covered. Not helpful, but I have heard that your only recourse with an inspector is to get the inspection fee back and any real damages would have to come from the sellers (flippers), but you don't seem to be at a significant loss yet. |

greg_2010 said: "I won't comment on the gas valve since you don't seem to have a clear picture of what the problem was there." Turns out both gas valves were some sort of spring valve that was a huge hit when they first came out many moons ago. It was not long before they were known to have major problems with leakage. My DIL's father knew this. You would think an inspector would know, too. As for the rags, there is no way of telling when they went in the pipes. But the house was finished and empty at time of both showings, inspection and closing. My guess is the rags were used to plug a drain before toilets went on and then forgotten. If someone wanted to be malicious there are a lot worse things they could have done. The point was, and still is, they have not gotten a proper inspection. |
The OP wrote: " They were actually there when he opted out of entering the crawlspace"....did that raise flags with the buyers? No dryer vent? How old is the house? Was it built back when people used clothes lines? If all the things that the new owners have found was on the inspection would they still have gone through with the closing? ML |

maddielee said: "The OP wrote: " They were actually there when he opted out of entering the crawlspace"....did that raise flags with the buyers?" Yes, it did, but they are young and inexperienced and decided to trust the professional. The house was built in the early 70's, so not that old. The things they have uncovered so far would not have kept them from buying the house, but they certainly would have asked the seller to fix them at his cost. It is what is, as yet, unknown that is the bigger worry. So they found out today their home warranty will cover the gas line work that needs doing, which is good. I have never heard of so many accepted claims on the warranty! I still think they have a strong case for getting their fee refunded, but it is up to them whether to pursue it or not. I think they should get a second inspection done at no cost to them, since the first guy was all-but-useless. But their decision. Thank you ALL for your input, this was an educating conversation for me, even though it was on my kids' behalf. Always something new to learn. |
The only thing that can be recovered from a worthless inspection is the cost of the inspection itself. They are not liable for any damages beyond that. Home inspectors are generally worthless IMO. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Jul 19, 14 at 7:59
This thought is not true. Even if it is printed on the report. It is only what they want the public to think. |
It is true in my state of Georgia. They are legally protected from liability as long as they use the proper language on their contracts and inspections forms and letters. We had a retired engineer home inspector inspect our current house. His incompetence was breathtaking in its scope and depth. Just ONE example: A few months later, when we went to turn on the furnace for the winter it would not heat appropriately, used much more gas than it should have, etc. the HVAC contractor who came out told us we were very lucky we called right away, for reasons ranging from personal safety, code violations, further damage to the system, etc. He put this in writing and documented what he did to relocate the pipe -- at a cost of about $500--- just so we could recover the actual cost of the repair. Our letter to the inspector cited his disclaimer and our attorney confirmed that he was ONLY liable for the cost of his inspection, not any damages or repairs resulting from his erroneous report and/or incompetence. |

I've been playing for a year and have been playing a lot of ranked solo queue, and have been playing with a ranked team. I consider myself a decent jungler but I feel like my map presence is no where near it can be. I usually end up positive and most of the time i snowball my top lane, but it feels like there is always one lane i neglect, or if i gank to much, i fall far behind. If i could get some tips or some insight from more experienced junglers that would be fantastic.
I've learned that it is extremely difficult to satisfy every lane's desires, simply because you cannot be everywhere on the map at once. I can also relate to falling behind when ganking too often, and neglecting your jungle. Its all about finding the middle ground between farming jungle and ganking, a middle ground that turns out as efficiently coordinated as you can manage. Calculations of gank effectiveness are not so difficult, observe the lane matchups and understand each enemy champion's escape potential when deciding which lane is optimal to gank. Keep in mind that when lanes are pushed, It's much harder to perform a successful gank. Farming jungle alone is never optimal, always squeeze in ganks when you feel you have a high success chance, and don't let people convince you to gank a lane when you don't see much potential in such an ordeal. Those are just a few ideas that may help you become a better jungler, I think jungling is the most important and most difficult role in the game, you can always manage time more efficiently by just thinking ahead.
Heavens Dominion
Some tips that I have found to make my jungling play a lot more successful: 1. Gank mid often (by camping around and returning to the mid, you have the same access to both top and bot if they request aid or see another gank opportunity). 2. When a gank is successful, don't hang around, jump back into the jungle towards another lane, gaining gold along the way for effective lane presence + successful ganks. 3. Make sure you have great Quint's and runes (goes without saying but very important and game changing if done correctly). I prefer Gold production quints + heart of gold + phil. stone + blue sword thing (+5 gold/5) + gold production in utility mastery = NEVER having gold production issues, in fact you will find that you will complete your build and have too much gold this way sometimes. 4. Use champs with great mobility to allow you to traverse the map better (personally I like Sejuani and Malphite a lot because they can quickly rush through walls--rediculously relevant and highly overlooked in the jungle) Yes, Malphites ultimate does go through virtually every wall = OP jungling gank madness!! Also, try to get champs that have great cc, that is important beyond measure (try Nunu, Sejuani, Amumu, etc). Nautilus....Oh friggin Nautilus as a jungler.... friggin nightmare!! 5. Try different builds and see what works better, don't be scared to try things that don't work in ai bot matches or something. 6. Make sure you have relevant summoner spells (in other words, don't always go smite flash because its whats run all the time. I use clarity with Sejuani, Malphite, and Nautilus and have noticed significant increases in my jungling gank success rate. 7. ALWAYS BUY WARDS!!! NO EXCEPTIONS--YOU ARE THE JUNGLES SIGHT. 8. Don't hog all of the buffs for yourself, pull your Mid AP and give them blue, or your main AD give him the red, this will help your jungling more effectively because you will have stronger teammates to complete ganks with. 9. If there is no counter jungler, eat away at the enemy teams jungle like a monster (I have pulled some crazy ganks that people didn't expect because of this). 10. When counter jungling, ward their blue and red often, and gank them within their jungle, bring a friend and laugh about it--it's fun! Anywho, hope this helps--this is kinda like a top 10 for me, and it has helped my game loads--I hope it will help you out friend. Good Luck!

I'm using Wyeast 1968 London ESB for the first time, and also using my DIY stir-plate for the first time, so I've nothing to compare my experiences to. I read that this is a highly flocculant yeast, but if I pick up my starter off of the stir plate, it sets up like cement within 15 seconds. Is this normal? Once the magnet and stirbar are locked, the fan I used can't even spin the stir-bar. I have to help it get started by spinning the fan a few rotations manually Also, how can you tell when your starter is done on a stir-plate. This yeast looks like a blizzard in the flask always. I'm thinking some may be more obvious? This one I've seen no change in, though when I removed it from the stir plate it looked like a completed starter within a minute. Lesson learned, I think I'll just leave them alone, it's just that I saw zero change from when I added the yeast to the wort yesterday til I checked it this morning. Thanks
For a pack that's under a month old, I find the starters are done within 18-24 hours. If the pack is older, they can take 48 hours to finish (sometimes a bit more). I've never had any issue with my Hanna stirplate getting going. Sounds like you need to work on making the DIY stirplate a bit stronger so that it can actually get things moving better.
I love how flocculant most Wyeast ale strains are. At least the ones I use (rated either High or Very High for virtually all of the ones I use). 18-24 hours in the fridge and they get nice and compact too. I decant all but maybe 1/4" of spent starter wort and then use that to make my slurry that gets pitched. I also use a rare earth magnet to hold the stirbar in place, or remove it from the flask, before pouring. That way you don't need to wait until you dump the stuff in the bottom of the fermenting vessel to recover the stirbar.
that sounds normal. in my hands this yeast goes into suspension nicely, ferments out the starter very quickly (can be 12 hours), and then drops fast and hard. as soon as it flocks like that it's done. being more used to american and belgian strains i was quite shocked the first time i grew it and saw that weird blizzard in the flask! now i love it, and use it more than any other strain

Someone has set fire to six American flags and five garden banners hanging outside homes in a five-week period, authorities said.
Police believe the vandal may be driving a gray or white pickup, but have few leads.
"Residents should be vigilant," Detective Jared Burns said Thursday. "If they see or hear anything suspicious, give the police a call."
All the vandalism has occurred in a neighborhood near the Whittwood Town Center in the the southeast area of the Los Angeles suburb.
Jupiter Street resident Tami Wysocki said an American flag outside her home was ignited about three weeks ago.
A new flag flies in its place.
"My husband was really upset," Wysocki said. "He's very patriotic."

"I was surprised! I read all of the reviews and thought this sounded great. When I started to put it on the grill I thought "it smells just like bottled teriyaki marinade" and was thinking the reviews were overrated. After cooking this BOY WAS I WRONG.....This was SO much better!"
"This was really good -- a new take on a family favorite (chicken thighs). I used bone-in thighs this time but will probably opt for boneless next time just so that you can cut straight through the meat and easily get a nice bite of bacon and chicken without working around the bone."
"Great take on an old classic. I improvised quite a bit -- left the mayo out, used 1/2 cream of mushroom and 1/2 cream of celery rather than using chopped celery. Also used 1 tbls dried minced onions -- my kids are leery of any "chunks" in anything so it gave it great flavor but the "chunks" were hidden. Also left out the mushrooms."
"My family loved this! My roast was much larger -- 6 lbs or so -- but cooked to "falling off the bone" tender in 9 hours. My only issue with the recipe was that I've never used this cut of meat before but it was onsale for cheap so I decided to try it. When I unwrapped it the skin that was still on it really grossed me out. The cut of meat -- a..."
"Fabulous! This is the way that my grandma made apple crisp! I've made it before and thought, "hmmm it's good but not great" I think that the brown sugar and melted butter on the apples makes the difference."
"Okay.....I think I mistakenly put way too much ginger in this. I used fresh ginger and the flavor was pretty spicey but it was a good flavor. I will try this again but will watch my measurements more closely. Also, I used Rice Vinegar in place of Cider Vinegar and I used sesame oil to saute the chicken. Someone else commented that this was goo..."
"This had a really good flavor and the meat was very tender. I didn't have whole cloves so I used 1/4 tsp ground. We'll make this again!"
"Very easy recipe and the salmon comes out very moist and full of flavor. Being from the Pacific Northwest, I am picky about salmon but this is a no-brainer that ever first-time salmon cooks can't go wrong with."

The content river (or why Amazon is called Amazon)
Amazon has recently surprised, with the success of its TV show Transparent at the Golden Globes. And it has more plans to create a new TV series with Woody Allen.
The Woody Allen partnership received a bit of a kicking from some quarters, but I don't agree with this view. Read More

Cellcom is a regional wireless service provider based in De Pere, Wisconsin, with roots that date back to 1910. Cellcom began providing service from its office in Green Bay in 1987, when its parent company, Nsight, entered the wireless industry.[1]
Outside of its own regional network, the company partners with other regional and national carriers to provide nationwide voice and data service. Cellcom uses CDMA and 4G LTE technology. Cellcom's retail area includes northeast and central Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Cellcom offers a variety wireless communication devices, including feature handsets, smartphones, home phones, tablets, residential and mobile broadband.
Cellcom's parent company, Nsight, was founded on March 10, 1910, when a group of Pulaski business people met at the local drug store to discuss providing telephone service to their growing community. From that meeting, the Pulaski Merchants and Farmers Telephone Company formed.[2]
In 1968 the company's name changed to Northeast Telephone Company. Northeast Communications, Inc. was formed as a holding company in 1982, and Northeast Telephone Company became a subsidiary. In 1999, Northeast Communications of Wisconsin, Inc. began doing business as Nsight. Today, Nsight's subsidiaries include Cellcom, Nsight Telservices and Nsight Tower.[3]
Nsight has been a family-run business since 1923.[4]

Green Cell Sites[edit]
The first alternative energy cell site in the upper Midwest, built in Ackley, Wis. and activated on April 22, 2008, delivers wireless service to an area that previously had many dead zones.[7]
Equipment for the green cell site underwent rigorous testing prior to installation and features multiple backups to ensure continuity of service. The primary source of energy for this site is sunlight collected using a 6.3 kilowatt solar panel array. The energy gathered from the sun is converted into electricity and stored in batteries. The cell site draws energy for operation from these batteries. On dark or cloudy days, energy generated by a wind mill supplements the solar power to maintain operation. A hydrogen fuel cell serves as a backup for both of these energy producers. The final backup is a diesel generator that can be hooked up to maintain service if all other power sources fail.
In 2010, Cellcom converted the Ackley site to a grid-tie location and it now feeds the extra energy produced from the solar panels and wind turbine back to the power company and, in turn, became even more efficient.
A second green cell site was activated in 2009 on Chambers Island in Door County. The cliffs lining Door County's rugged shoreline were blocking the signals from mainland towers, leaving many area residents with limited cellular service, as well as leaving emergency personnel with limited radio coverage. The green cell site runs on batteries charged by solar panels at the base of the tower and a wind turbine installed on tower. A propane generator is available as a back-up source of power if there is inadequate wind or sun to charge the batteries.[8]
Cellcom was the first CDMA carrier in the U.S. to be a member of the non-profit organization founded in 2007 to promote worldwide femtocell deployment. Femto technology offers a low cost and highly effective solution to dead zones, particularly in small areas such as a home. In addition, a femtocell offers higher data rates, better voice quality and improved multi-media experiences.[9]
In 2009, Cellcom received the first Femtocell Industry Award for significant progress or commercial launch by a small carrier at the Femtocells World Summit in London.[10]
Other Awards[edit]
Cellcom and its parent company Nsight were recognized in 2009 as the business recipient of the Brown County Ethics in Business Awards.[11]
Cellcom has a long history of regional nonentities celebrated in their advertising.
Mike Holmgren, former coach of the Green Bay Packers, was the company's first advertising spokesperson and was featured in advertising from 1996-1999. Ron Wolf, former general manager for the Green Bay Packers, was featured in advertising in 2000. Mike Sherman, former head coach and general manager, was featured from 2002-2005.
In 2009 and 2010, America's Got Talent runner-up and Door County-native Eli Mattson served as the company's spokesperson.
In 2011, Cellcom began featuring Mike McCarthy, current head coach of the Green Bay Packers, in their advertising.[12]

Wedding: 9/7/2013
I decided to check out the Hudson Cakery because I'm a local resident and my bus went passed it on a daily basis and I was intrigued by its "appointment only" policy. I looked up the website and immediately fell in love with the cake and cupcake designs. The cake flavors also seemed innovative and fun. We set up a tasting and met Jen at her shop. First of all, she is a delight. Professional, nice, creative and adorable, Jen is a dream to work with. She asked us before the tasting what sort of flavors we were the most interested in and presented us with a selection at the tasting. We were interesting in a custom flavor: maple bacon. She was more than up to the challenge.. We were so impressed with the quality of her cakes and butter creams. We knew after only a few bites that there was no need to meet with any other bakers: Hudson Cakery was the place for us. We was receptive to all our ideas. Eventually we settled on a selection of 4 cupcake flavors on a tower and a 6" cake topper for us to cut. We returned for a second tasting a month before the wedding to sample everything again (because at the first tasting we tried everything separately, this time we wanted to make sure all our butter cream and cupcake selections tasted good). She had made us a new version of the maple bacon cupcake that blew us away. We also had vanilla cupcakes with salted caramel butter cream, carrot cake with brown sugar butter cream, and chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter butter cream. Because my husband and I don't take cake too seriously and wanted something fun, our cake topper was funfetti cake with the Oreo butter cream. There were only 8 cupcakes left over, and everyone raved about how delicious they were. Everything was amazing. Jen's prices are very fair considering her level of talent.
I also want to mention that in April she made nautical themed cookies for my friends bridal shower and she was also so fun to work with then as well. The cookies were impeccable and detailed and had a very subtle lemon flavor that everyone loved. My only regret was not ordering more so I could have had all the left overs for myself.
Go with Hudson Cakery, you won't regret it.
Wedding: 10/12/2013
I currently live in TX, but got married in NJ, where I am from. I found The Hudson Cakery online and asked them to create my TX state shaped cookie favors for my wedding in October and they were a big hit! Jennifer was great to deal with and delivered exactly what I wanted. Not only was the design perfect, but the cookie was good too. My guests were asking for seconds!
I would highly recommend using them for your wedding or other event needs. Great product and great service.
Wedding: 8/4/2013
Jenn was very sweet and easy to work with. She made an awesome surprise groom's cake for my husband and it was delicious (and gluten free!) Would definitely recommend her services!!
Wedding: 10/18/2014
It has been exactly one month since my wedding and I am not exaggerating when I say that I still have friends telling me that my cake was the best wedding cake they've ever had! (chocolate with Oreo Buttercream filling)
On top of the quality of the cake, Jenn (the head cake designer), is a doll and such a pleasure to work with. She brought my vision to life and took my budget into full consideration.
I recommend Hudson Cakery with the utmost confidence that anyone who uses them for their event will be 110% satisfied with the results!
Wedding: 10/4/2014
Overall, very good company. Jennifer is very easy to work with and pleasant. Decor of cake and cupcakes was outstanding. Flavor was just okay, however. Too much frosting. Also, I thought I was getting nutella flavored frosting, and did not, which was a bummer. I would order from Hudson Cakery again!
Wedding: 10/3/2014
Jennifer and her team at Hudson Cakery truly went above and beyond. We commissioned them to make over 200 mini cup cakes in 5 flavor varieties (which we were able to choose ourselves - after an amazing tasting at her bake shop). We also had her do a small couples cake (6 inch) for us. We did the "naked style" with berries and it looked rustic and beautiful! Lastly, we asked Jennifer to create french macaroons for us to use in small boxes for our placecards. They were perfect and really provided a unique touch for our guests! I highly recommend Hudson Cakery and will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you for making my wedding delicious!
Wedding: 9/13/2014
Let me just start by saying I loved my wedding cake and Jennifer was awesome to work with. She gave me exactly what we talked about as well as the suggestions she made. We communicated mostly via email but she she was quick to respond to everything. The tasting was simple and yummy. And the flavors were..oh my! We barely had anything left over after the wedding. I would recommend The Hudson Cakery for any event not only weddings : )
Wedding: 10/12/2008
My husband and I really wanted a classic cake, nothing over the top. We had a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and peanut butter butter cream filling. It was amazing and everyone LOVED it!!
Our planning experience was flawless. We had a great time tasting and choosing the design. After all the main decisions were done, we just had to wait until our wedding day to try it. My husband still can't stop talking about the cake. :-)
Wedding: 6/14/2014
Jennifer was so accommodating and kind from the moment I first emailed her. She was professional, communicative, and easy to work with. When we went to do our cupcake tasting, we were immediately sold! These cupcakes are just the right combination of moist cake and light frosting. So many cupcake bakeries end up making dry cake, and it ruins the cupcake! Jennifer's are truly some of the best I've tried. She made a cupcake tower for our wedding that was just perfect. I wish I lived closer so I could have her cupcakes more often!!
Wedding: 10/19/2013
I used the Hudson Cakery for a Giants themed grooms cake for my wedding in October. The cake came out perfect! Jen was so nice and responded to my emails quickly. The cake was delicious too!
Wedding: 10/7/2007
We recently used The Hudson Cakery for our wedding party, and they did a phenomenal job! They worked with us last minute to create a custom cupcake tower with beautiful cake, and final result exceeded our high expecations! The flavors we chose were beyond delicious (red velvet, banana bread, pumpkin spice & double chocolate), and the entire display with cake was just so gorgeous, I nearly cried when I saw it! Our guests (a pretty hard to impress lot) could NOT stop talking about how amazing the cupcakes were, and how beautiful everything looked. Thank you SO much for making our special day even more perfect and special than we could have planned. We will definitely be back for more delicious goodies soon!
Wedding: 9/21/2011
Working with Hudson Cakery from start to finish was amazing. Owner, Jennifer was so professional, responded promptly and really cared about creating the cake of your dreams. While some bakeries can create a pretty cake, Jennifer's creations are so fresh, moist and taste amazing! I recommend The Hudson Cakery for any special occasion. I am already starting my holiday order!
Wedding: 8/17/2013
My wife and I spent a considerable amount of time and energy researching and interviewing potential vendors for our wedding. Having to control for a gluten allergy made the search even more complicated. Finding gluten free baked goods that taste good is especially challenging. For our wedding cake, we wanted it to be something the both of us could share without fear or concern about the quality. Our cake tasting went flawlessly and we were impressed with the variety and freshness of the ingredients and flavor combinations. The final wedding cake was exactly as we pictured and fit our vintage theme perfectly. We selected a coconut cake with raspberry preserve filling and buttercream frosting. The flavor was exquisite and the cake itself was moist and fluffy. The real coconut shavings and the bits of fruit in the raspberry preserves made for a delicious and authentic experience. We could not have selected a better vendor to provide the all important cake for our special day.
Wedding: 3/17/2013
I had such an easy time communicating with Jennifer, setting up our tasting and nailing down our design for our wedding cake. We chose the chocolate with oreo buttercream, but everything was so delicious we really had a hard time picking one flavor! She was really open to our design ideas and we felt very comfortable at the end of the tasting knowing that our cake was going to look and taste great and that it would be delivered on time and with no worries. We look forward to getting more cakes for special occasions in the future! So happy we went with The Hudson Cakery for our wedding.
Wedding: 10/6/2012
Jennifer and her cakes were amazing! After our cake tasting, we couldn't pick just one so ordered 3 different cakes. Best decision ever--guests raved about the cake sampler. Would highly recommend the carrot cake and the Oreo buttercream filling/frosting. Everything was super fresh and natural tasting. LOVED her buttercream recipe--not too sweet and lighter than most buttercream a because it's a Swiss meringue buttercream (egg whites folded in). Definitely my go-to cake spot in the NYC-area!
Wedding: 9/8/2012
Jenn and The Hudson Cakery really made my bridal shower and wedding day with their sweet confections! I had strawberry lemonade and vanilla and chocolate cupcakes for my shower and they were so delicious. The cake was moist and the frosting was light--never cloying or overly sweet. I got the MOST compliments on the cupcakes--everyone loved them and wanted to know where they came from. I also gave out tiered wedding cake cookies as favors and they were incredible. For our wedding, Jenn created the most incredible Mets cake for my husband. It was almost painful to eventually throw away the replica Mr. Met (his hat was perfect!). The chocolate cake was light, but rich and the peanut butter filling was delicious. I love Jenn, love The Hudson Cakery and will certainly be back.
Wedding: 8/4/2012
Jenn was a pleasure to work with from the taste testing thru the final delivery. Jenn created a 3 tier black and white swiss dot elegant and sophiticated wedding cake and a surprise birthday cake with several personal touches for my new husband. We enjoyed two delicious flavors chocolate cake with oreo filling and almond cake with nutella filling. Our guests were raving about the cake and were asking for seconds!!! That's a compliment to Hudson Cakery!!!!!!
Wedding: 9/2/2012
So great working with Jenn. Thanks for creating yummy memories for our special day!
Elegance with a personal touch. Jenn accommodated us with a custom made flavor, almond coconut cake was so yummy. Not only beautiful. Also had a second flavor of chocolate cake with peanut butter cup; unbelievable.
Some of our guests who don't typically eat cake, had ours, everyone was raving about it!
Cake Boss has not a thing on the Hudson Cakery.
Wedding: 7/14/2012
The Hudson Cakery made our wedding cakes. We had a 4 tier and a separate small gluten free cake for myself.
First of all, Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with and very responsive to everything I contacted her for.
The guests raved about the wedding cake. It was beautiful and delicious!
The gluten free cake was wonderful and the best I have had. Incredibly moist and full of flavor. A couple of our guests were also gluten free and loved the cake.
I highly recommend The Hudson Cakery!
Wedding: 12/3/2011
Jenn at Hudson Cakery is amazing! I gave her a vision on a design for my cake and she created a stunning piece of art. I almost didn't want to cut into it, it was so beautiful. She did two different cake flavors, red velvet and lemon and they were both spectacular. Everyone tells me fondant tastes blah, but somehow she made that taste amazing too. Jenn also did cookies for the wedding and they were delicious, in fact somehow they missed me when they were passed around and they were so good I had to scrounge around to find one, and we had 300 of them! One of my bridesmaids was quoted as saying, "I ate 17 of those things." But not only were the cake and cookies great, but Jenn was an amazing communicator and everything with her was seamless from the get-go. I feel truly lucky to have had her as the designer of my cake. I cannot recommend her highly enough, you will not be sorry if you choose her for your wedding, in fact you will hit the cake jackpot.
