Smart House Technology for Saving Energy
This sponsored post is really coming at a great time because I was just thinking about how I could share with you about how to save energy and money on your heating/cooling bill. It’s never been easier for a homeowner to lower their utility bills. This is thanks to a range of modern technologies, from basics like programmable thermostats and energy monitoring systems to all-important things such as motorized window shades and energy-conscious ceiling fans. So, is your home saving you money? Or are you spending more than you need to each month when the utility companies come to read your meters? Smart thermostats have been around for a while, and they’ve essentially become basic for modern homes. If you’re in the market for a new property, you’ll likely come across houses that have smart thermostats and monitoring systems already installed. The former helps you reduce energy use by lowering and raising the temperature to maintain the right conditions only when you and family members are at home, and the latter can track energy use so you can make necessary changes to lower your utility bills. You can read more about these and other energy-saving innovations in the infographic below. …

Leftover Salmon 4th Annual Blue Ridge Jam @ Pisgah Brewing Co. Oct 6 2019
Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special, once-in-a-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon. NPR’s Mountain Stage says, “One of the most fun-loving bands you'll encounter, Leftover Salmon has built a fervent audience with an insatiable thirst for living, and re-living, its energetic live performances,” while Offbeat calls them, “One of the most spirited, jovial bands of the jam band nation.” Read More » -

2019 Tryon Block House Races Canceled; Races to Resume in April
The 2019 Tryon Block House Races, scheduled for October 5 and hosted by Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in conjunction with the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TR&HC), has been canceled due to course-development delays and will return to its traditional spring date on April 11, 2020. TIEC has made a significant investment to create a state-of-the-art steeplechase course at the Green Creek Race Course in Columbus, NC. While significant progress has been made on the course, TIEC canceled the event in the interest of horse welfare and to ensure that the track is utilized in its most ideal condition. TIEC acted in consultation with the National Steeplechase Association, which sanctions the Tryon Block House Races. Read More » -
