The Recent Cold Weather Leads To Freeze Damage

Frigid temperature are hard on animals, equipment and yes our indoor plumbing. When temperature fall to single digits for a few days in a row it is common to have some frozen pipes.

Centerville, UT, January 17, 2014 – Frigid temperature are hard on animals, equipment and yes our indoor plumbing. When temperature fall to single digits for a few days in a row it is common to have some frozen pipes. The plumbing that is most vulnerable is in attics, crawl spaces and exterior walls. Even with cold temperatures, it is not predictable when freeze damage will occur. A pipe that freezes in an exterior wall may have been there for many years or even decades, and even survived similar cold temperatures many times before. So what is different this time? Maybe the temperature, maybe the wind direction or velocity? A recent example is a student dorm at Snow College in Ephraim Utah. A fire suppression sprinkler head froze in an interior hallway. the hallway is not heated, but it in the middle of the building. There was a slight gap under the exterior door that allowed a small amount of cold air under the door. Hard to imagine that the air temperature in the hallway would get cold enough to freeze the sprinkler head.

Daryl Olsen of the Flood Co. in northern Utah shares another example, he says: “It was in a newer home in Draper Utah in a West facing wall of a walk out basement. The pipe that froze was protected with 7 inches of blown in fiberglass insulation. There had been some strong winds with the cold temperatures. It was curious that a pipe that was so well protected and insulated could freeze.”

Although many freeze events cannot be predicted, here are a few suggestions to help prevent freeze damage:

Insulate any plumbing in an attic or crawl space

Keep the heat on in the property

Open cabinet doors and access doors to allow warmer air to the plumbing connections.

Disconnect hoses from any outdoor faucets

Freeze damage can not always be predicted or prevented. If it does happen, get help to make sure your have identified all of the dampness and are able to dry everything quickly enough to avoid greater damage.

Should you find yourself with water damage, don’t try to clean it up yourself. Water damage should be taken care of by a professional. Call The Flood Co for your Northern Utah water damage restoration event.

New York City is World’s Wearable Tech Capital on January 30 before San Francisco, Munich and Seoul

Building off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking takes Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (www.wearable-computing-conference.com) global: New York City, San Francisco, London, Seoul and Munich, “How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion”.

New York City, NY, USA (January 17, 2014) — There are thousands of reasons why New York is the capital of the world. One more is coming this January 30. New York City will become the wearable technologies capital as it gets ready to host Golden Networking’s Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), “How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion”, forums to be held throughout 2014 first there on January 30 and later in San Francisco (March 18), London (May 29), Seoul (September 25) and Munich (November 20).

The future is here at Wearable Computing Conference 2014 with the production of a new generation of technologies such as Google Glass, Apple “iWatch” and Samsung Galaxy Gear, among others, that will allow users to interact with computing devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing. The introduction of smart watches and glasses bring upon economic, social and personal effects that will revolutionize the human experience.

The use of technology has greatly expanded out of the workplace into users’ daily lives. Now the integration of human experience and wearable computing will allow users to enhance each experience. This new wave of technologies will ignite an explosion of innovation which will be the key to advancement for mankind.

Credit Suisse semiconductor analysts John Pitzer, Kulbinder Garcha, Christian Buss, and Stephen Ju offered six months ago an overview note on what they think is “the next big thing,” the rise of sophisticated wearable technology, such as smart watches, and other accessories. The authors contended that while “wearables,” as they call them, are “not new,” nevertheless, they are “at an inflection point in market adoption” because there is a growing installed base of smartphones, cost and performance improvements are coming in components, there is more mature software to run them, and there are new business models for them. The wearables market is a lot bigger than investors realize, they contended, at perhaps $3 billion to $5 billion today, rising to perhaps $30 billion to $50 billion over the next three to five years.

Golden Networking’s Wearable Computing Conference 2014 will examine wearable technologies’ functions, application, the competition and possibilities for economic and personal growth.Wearable Computing Conference 2014 is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business and technology executives, entrepreneurs and investors.Panelists, speakers and sponsors are invited to contact Golden Networking by sending an email to information@goldennetworking.com.

Google Glass Explorer Not Guilty for Speeding Ticket to Speak at New York Wearable Tech Conference

Building off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking takes Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (www.wearable-computing-conference.com) global: New York City, San Francisco, London, Seoul and Munich, “How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion”.

New York City, NY, USA (January 17, 2014) — As reported by NBC, Cecilia Abadie, the Southern California woman cited for wearing Internet-connected eyeglasses while driving, was found not guilty; a San Diego traffic court commissioner found there was not enough evidence presented to prove the device was activated at the time of the traffic stop.

“When I contacted her she was wearing a device on her face known as Google Glass,” CHP Officer Keith Odle testified. “It was covering half of her right eye.” Officer Odle and a representative from the CHP Academy in Sacramento testified on what they considered the safety concerns of the device – including the ability for the user to receive in-frame video chats – but San Diego Commissioner John Blair ruled they did not present enough evidence that Abadie was actually using the device when she was stopped. Abadie maintains she was simply wearing the device, which she does all the time, apparently. She said that the Glass activated when she looked up at the officer as he approached her vehicle.

Blair found Abadie not guilty, but he added that he felt the new device does fall under California Vehicle Code 27602. That particular section, according to CHP, states that it’s against the law in California for a motorist to drive a car if a television monitor, screen or similar video monitors are turned on and visible to the driver.

Ms. Abadie, founder of 33Labs, will address hundreds of attendees to Golden Networking’s Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), “How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion”, forums to be held throughout 2014 in New York City (January 30), San Francisco (March 18), London (May 29), Seoul (September 25) and Munich (November 20).

A passionate evangelizer about everything digital, Ms. Abadie is a Google Glass Explorer and Pioneer who spreads the word about wearable devices and the many ways they can change our world. As the founder of 33Labs, she leads a global development team that researches and develops wearable and mobile applications to deliver experiences that innovate and disrupt the personal and the enterprise realms. Ms. Abadie was born in Argentina and raised in Uruguay, which is where she got her Master Degree on Information Systems and where she began her career as an international software consultant and developer. She immigrated to the United States of America ten years ago and is currently living in Southern California.

“Adventures in Brew” Chooses CrowdBrewed.com Crowdfunding Platform to Cast Off On a Beer-Centric Road Trip to Craft Breweries

“Adventures in Brew” is partnering with Black Dog Promotions in a fundraising campaign that will take the beer show across America.

Chandler, AZ/Denver, CO, January 15, 2014 – The hit web show “Adventures in Brew” has been a crowd favorite ever since it hit the air in early 2013. James Swann is the host and beer expert behind “Adventures in Brew” and his decades of beer knowledge and beer brewing experience encompass a love of beer that began back in England where Swann grew up. “I’ve grown up working in bars, restaurants and pubs all my life,” stated Swann. His vast experience in brewing will undoubtedly catapult “Adventures in Brew” to the head of the class of special interest shows.

Instead of going with Kickstarter, Adventures in Brew chose the CrowdBrewed.com platform to launch their fundraising campaign. “The crowdfunding is like Kickstarter, but it’s only focused on the craft beer industry, so this is really exciting,” said Swann. “When we’re on the road, we’ll have the chance to visit craft breweries all over and discover what makes them special, we’ll conduct interviews, play beer challenge games and get to know brew masters from across the country.”

Those wishing to support Adventures In Brew’s crowd funding campaign can learn more and make a pledge at https://crowdbrewed.com/rewards/campaigns/adventures-in-brew/

“Adventures in Brew” has partnered with Black Dog Promotions and its CEO and Founder, Scott Kelly for marketing and public relations to launch the show on a national basis and get it out on the road. Kelly said, “Viewers and fans have already been very receptive to ‘Adventures in Brew.’ Not only is it educational, but it’s a completely fun romp, from start to finish. James Swann is likeable and so knowledgeable about beer, that we expect that audiences will always want to tune in to see what kind of craziness is taking place. We feel that CrowdBrewed.com is the perfect place to kick off our crowdfunding endeavors.”

The part of the country where the crowdfunding comes from is where the funds will be spent. “For instance, if a bunch of people in a particular area of Colorado get together and fund, we’ll be off to Colorado to do the show,” Swann stated. “Personally, I would lean towards San Diego and moving up to Orange County and around Denver Colorado, but it’s really up to those people who help fund the show. If they decide we should be in Florida, then that’s where we’ll go.” Travel expenses and a production crew will all be specific expenses paid for by crowdfunding money. “It’s going to be a blast and everywhere that we’ve done a show so far; the feedback has been phenomenal.

CrowdBrewed.com has become the “de facto” standard for craft beer crowdfunding ever since USA TODAY ran an article in August 2012, touting the company as “the first-ever crowdfunding site designed specifically for craft beer entrepreneurs.” CrowdBrewed was created to provide a secure, transparent platform for companies to obtain the financing they need to grow their businesses. At the same time, investors can use CrowdBrewed to invest in companies in the fast-growing and exciting craft beer industry.

CrowdBrewed.com is a donation/reward crowdfunding platform for craft brewers and beer industry affiliates who want to raise money for just about anything as it relates to beer. Specially-targeted fundraising campaigns are created to tell the story to a crowd of potential donors and supporters in exchange for a reward or product. Their site is where others can discover new beers, learn about brewing and get involved in the industry.

Black Dog Promotions is a media and business development agency and also provides digital marketing and publicity, consulting for regional and national brands. Black Dog’s team has a long history of success in the entertainment, sports and the technology and finance industries. They have taken companies from concept to millions of dollars in sales and billions of dollars in market capitalization.
