Ethan Setiawan is a Boston-based mandolin player who’s won such accolades as the National Mandolin Championship and the RockyGrass Mandolin Championship. He’s a member of bands Corner House, Mudskippers, The Harmolodic String Band, and freelances with musicians including Darol Anger and Tony Trischka. In 2015, he attended the Acoustic Music Seminar at the Savannah Music Festival, a program where participants work with musicians like Mike Marshall, Julian Lage, Casey Driessen, and Bryan Sutton. Later that year, he guested on A Prairie Home Companion (now known as Live From Here.) A move to Boston in August of 2015 to attend Berklee College of Music on a full ride scholarship brought about a new chapter in Ethan’s life. He’s been a catalyst for several projects in the Boston area and elsewhere, including Mudskippers, a progressive string band, Corner House, which draws from Scottish, Appalachian string band, and bluegrass styles, and the Harmolodic String Band, which plays the music of Ornette Coleman on bluegrass instruments.
His path has wended its way through traditional bluegrass, to Bach partitas, to free jazz, and his debut full-length album, “Flux” is made up of original tunes drawing from all these wells. The album was conceived and crafted as a whole; the tunes were written for the band, who were chosen for the tunes. To write the album, he dove deep into the compositional techniques and tunes of some of the pioneers of the current wave of bluegrass: Bela Fleck, Matt Flinner, David Grisman and Mike Marshall, to name a few. After months of writing, discarding, and editing, a body of tunes emerged as clear candidates for a record. Over several years, the community around Ethan in the Northeast and Midwest evolved into the perfect band for a project such as this. The band features Julian Pinelli and Avery Merritt on fiddles, Sam Leslie on guitar, and Jacob Warren playing bass. Skilled engineer and mandolinist Dan Bui of Twisted Pine engineered and mixed the album. The recording process took place at the Record Company in Boston, and the resulting album contains close friends and bandmates, a batch of carefully crafted tunes, and the freshest grooves in bluegrass. He has shared the stage with Julian Lage, Darrell Scott, Mike Marshall, Tony Trischka, Darol Anger, Bryan Sutton, Casey Driessen, and the Steel Wheels.

A recent report has suggested that the global supplements industry is soaring to levels that have never been seen before. It’s understood that it will reach $7,100 Mn by 2023, which equates to a CAGR rate of 9.5%.
While the market used to have quite a concentrated target audience, this is changing substantially. Now, the fact that people are concerned a lot more with their appearance means that these supplements have a huge area to cover – and the numbers suggest that companies are succeeding in covering it.
Unlike a lot of industries which are experiencing significant growth, beauty supplements operate in a hugely fragmented market. In other words, there are places for both large and small companies; you don’t get the big fish running proceedings, so to speak. In terms of the smaller companies, these tend to focus on speciality products, leaving the large R&D programs to the larger companies. When it comes to these larger projects, companies tend to compete with their prices, promotion and distribution options.
The beauty market is actually broken down into a lot of smaller segments; namely skin care, nail care, dental care, hair care and others. The “others” category covers overall health supplements. Out of all of these categories, there’s no doubt that the skin care is the one which brings in the biggest returns for the industry, holding a 30% share of the overall market. In 2015, the hair care category was next in line.
In terms of geographic performance, there are several areas in which this industry covers according to the latest report. These come in the form of Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, North America and Africa. If we turn to the figures from 2015, it was found that Europe held the biggest market for beauty supplements. If we drill down into the statistics even further, Western Europe (which covers the likes of the U.K., Germany, France, Spain and Italy) were the biggest players. The reason for this is understood to be related to the higher amounts of disposable income that are held in these nations. Additionally, it’s thought that those residing in this area of the world have greater concerns about their aesthetic appearance.
Even though Europe is by far and away the biggest player, in terms of the concentration of companies it’s North America that come out on top. The likes of Lifes2good, Inc. and HUM Nutrition, Inc. are right up there, although Europe of course has its own key players in the form of Murad UK, Ltd. and Meiji Holdings Co., Ltd.
The big takeaway from the report was that there is much more awareness from customers in relation to health awareness nowadays, and the statistics show that this is fuelling the industry no-end. Additionally, products are now easier than ever before to obtain through the power of the internet.
While Europe is the biggest region in relation to performance now, it’s understood that Asia Pacific is progressing significantly and this is going to prompt even more demand for these products in the next few years.

When it comes to the age of the universe, Christians find themselves in a bit of a conundrum. At least, those Christians do who hold to a traditional interpretation of the first two chapters of Genesis—an interpretation that leads them to believe the universe is something less than the billions of years indicated by contemporary understandings of the scientific data. Those, like me, who hold to a six-day understanding of creation have to face this question: Why does the universe look so old? Why does it look older than it actually is? This is a question Dr. Albert Mohler took on at a Ligonier Ministries conference several years ago and his response was (and remains) helpful to me.
But why, then, if the universe is so young, does it look so old? His first answer is this: The universe looks old because the Creator made it whole. Accordingly to a literal interpretation of Genesis 1 and 2, God did not create a universe that began in an infant or primordial state before maturing over billions of years, but a universe that actually began in a state of maturity. When it was still young it already looked mature because this was God’s design. Indeed, this was the case with the first human being. “When he made Adam, Adam was not a fetus; Adam was a man; he had the appearance of a man. By our understanding that would’ve required time for Adam to get old but not by the sovereign creative power of God.” Adam and Eve were created whole, mature, grown up, and were placed in a garden that was also whole, mature, and grown up. “The garden was not merely seeds; it was a fertile, fecund, mature garden. The Genesis account clearly claims that God creates and makes things whole.” There is our first answer, that the universe looks old because God created it to look old. This was design, not deception, just as was the case for Adam, the human being who had no history, no parents, no infancy, no childhood.
The second answer is this: The universe looks old because it bears the effects of sin. Sin is an evil intruder into the world and one that brought about God’s judgment. This judgment was expressed in the catastrophe of the great worldwide flood and in a million lesser catastrophes since. These catastrophes have marked, stained, and scarred all that God created. We bear the effects of sin in our tired eyes, wrinkled skin, and aching bones, and in equivalent ways the earth is marked and marred by sin. Paul says in Romans 8 that the world is groaning, “And in its groaning it does look old. It gives us empirical evidence of the reality of sin.” The universe looks old rather than young to display the evidence and consequences of sin, for once we see this we are but a short distance from considering the joy, necessity, and beauty of redemption. A suffering world is crying out for the deliverance that will come.

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).
Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.

Is that You speaking, or is it just an evil web site?
Microsoft Vista has speech recognition, so it’s conceivable that a malicious web site could play a sound that orders your computer to delete a file, at which point Windows might respond as if you’d given the order. I don’t blame Microsoft for this one, because it’s really an attack channel I doubt many people had considered.
What’s fascinating is that it provides a crystal clear explanation for something that most non-computer-savy folks might otherwise have trouble understanding. A web site might order your computer to do something, and the crux of most Internet security issues is that, somehow, the computer has to be able to distinguish what commands are coming from some rogue web site, and what commands are coming from you, the user.
Sometimes it’s trivial: only you can double-click an icon to start an application.
Sometimes it’s a little bit more complicated: who gets to open up a new browser window? You, of course, but does the web site’s programmer? You might want to let web sites you like do that when they need to (e.g. gmail), but you also don’t want the annoying pop-ups and pop-unders.
And then sometimes it’s near impossible: how can we determine if the sound is coming from you or the computer? Turn off speech recognition when the sound is playing? Okay, so that means you can’t play any MP3s while you speak to your computer. Filter out the speaker sound from the microphone input? Possible, but fairly complicated and likely quite CPU-intensive.
Security is a tough business. This case of the speech recognition back-channel is truly interesting, and I don’t think there’s anything close to an easy fix, short of forcing a mouse-click confirmation of every voice-activated action.

I came across in the last week. Enjoy!
If you need proof that NCLB is leading our schools and our students down the wrong path then look no further than this sad story out of Durham, NH where a school regarded as one of the top in the state (based on indicators such as SAT scores, college acceptances, etc.) is now a failing school due to the fact that 12 special education students out of 110 performed poorly on there state exam. Instead of continuing some of their innovative practices, this school is instead "teaching to the test."
Linda Reif, a former NH teacher of the year, discusses how the thinking at her school has changed due to the test scores of a small subgroup at her school.
This is a refreshing story from Oregon where one district turned away federal funds due to the fact that they could not come to grips with the U.S. Department of Education's firm mandate to reward teachers for better test scores.
"We certainly, as a team, do not believe that providing an incentive to teachers based on increased test scores of any individuals is going to make a difference in student achievement," said superintendent Larry Didway.

Today is day 4 of the All That Glitters challenge for The Digit-al Dozen, and today I've decided to go wintery.
What about you? Does it snow where you live? Do you love it or hate it?
Happy stamping--and don't forget to check out the other ladies' glittery manis below!
If real snow was this fancy, I just might like it a bit more (luckily it's been a pretty mild winter so far).
This all works together so well!
I love it!! Anything abstract-y and cool is great in my book.
Ohhh, this is gorgeous! That stamp looks really cool with the lightning bolt glitters!
I am really digging this different-kind-of-snow-mani! Looks awesome, the combo of the glitter and stamp!
I love the turquoise base!
These are fun! I like how it all came together!

I hope this makes the Scottish Government see sense. This will result in all teachers on the main grade scale receiving at least a 5 per cent increase, with some teachers receiving up to 11 per cent in one year, in conjunction with annual progression. Teachers are allocated to one of five local authorities of their choosing. The First Minister, indeed, has asked to be judged on her record in closing the attainment gap and improving standards across the board. Are standards up or down? It would, after all, be the biggest action of its kind since Margaret Thatcher was in , and it is important to do these things properly. Despite this, councils have prioritised investing in the region of £350m into the pay award this year to make sure that all local government workers including teachers receive a fair pay award of 3%, which is as good as other parts of the public sector. The Scottish Government, meanwhile, continues to insist it is putting money where it is needed and the policy is paying off.
There have been comparisons with offers to other public sector workers. Due to essential database maintenance AdviceLine telephone system will be closed from Thursday 6th December at 5pm until Tuesday 11th December. We have raised funding for trainee teachers to increase teacher training numbers and run specific campaigns to encourage people to consider teaching as a profession. For example, encouraging employers to allow employees to retrain while working or through redefining the rules around teacher qualifications to allow secondary teachers to teach in primary schools. The Scottish Government says additional contributions to restructure the pay scale will see all teachers receiving at least a five per cent hike increase this year.
Therefore, our council will now decide whether to initiate a statutory strike ballot when it meets tomorrow. The development comes after if a satisfactory deal was not reached. The result was announced as a survey by another union found that 54 per cent of teachers were so angry about the pay deal that they are prepared to strike, possibly for more than one day. Our pay claim is for 10% - given that the value of take-home pay has dropped by 24% in the last decade, that claim is already a compromise on what we deserve. It matches what we have offered those colleagues of yours who administer the school office, who cook the meals, who keep the school clean and who keep the school buildings and environment safe and secure. As anticipated, Scottish Government was seeking agreement around a multi-year deal. Now would be a good time.
You can adjust all of your cookie settings by navigating the tabs on the left hand side. One cannot just have league tables of schools. But we have to pay all of these, which means we either need a pay rise or for the Government to change their expectations on teachers, because the curriculum is always changing but our pay is staying the same. All salary scales for the British public employees, including your English, Welsh and Irish colleagues, politicians, judges and soldiers, you can find under link. As employers, we know that public sector pay has been squeezed by the public sector pay cap — in the same way that council budgets have been squeezed by a combination of austerity and increasing demand for our essential services. Teachers will be disappointed and angry.
It has also set a fire amongst teachers; many of our members have expressed their outrage at this blatant attempt by the employer and Government to influence their voting on this offer. Members requiring professional support out of hours should contact their Local Association Secretary or National Executive Member. A fresh war of words has broken out between the Scottish and the main teaching trade union amid claims that probationer teachers will see their pay increase by over 30%. Meanwhile, an international report found that pay for secondary staff in has declined by five per cent since 2005. Members requiring professional support out of hours should contact their Local Association Secretary or National Executive Member. We want to encourage people into teaching and to support continuous professional development and leadership habits from the start.
Through a combination of a 3% increase for all staff earning up to £80,000, restructuring the main grade scale and annual progression, the majority of teachers receive a rise between 5% and 11%. John Swinney has argued that the pay offer is fair to teachers Photo: Scottish Government Teaching unions across have been campaigning for a 10 per cent rise since the start of this year, arguing that their pay has not kept up with comparable professions. Negotiations begin once the unions have formally lodged their pay claims. We were initially offered a two per cent pay rise then it went up to three per cent, yet police got a 6. The unions want 10% for all teachers, while Education Secretary John Swinney and local authority employers offered 3%, plus changes to the main grade scale. Scotland wants and expects the best teaching professionals but, increasingly, is unwilling to pay appropriate professional salaries to the teachers working in our schools. Negotiations are set to continue, with another meeting scheduled for 4 October.
It is time to take a stand. Mr Swinney has argued that a restructuring of the main pay grade scale and annual progression means that most teachers will actually receive a rise of between 5 per cent and 11 per cent. Scotland talks a great game on education. That's why our new email newsletter will deliver a mobile-friendly snapshot of inews. Parents who will have to take time off work to look after children will be less than thrilled if there is a strike. In September, it made clear its , a deal which could have amounted to rises of 5-11 per cent for some teachers. We still hope to agree a settlement and avoid the inevitable disruption industrial action would cause.

Siding is an excellent way to add value and aesthetic appeal to your home. As an added bonus, siding also helps to minimize maintenance costs and is a great way to bring an older home back to life.
Siding is no longer simply a convenient alternative to more expensive building materials. These days, siding is one of the most preferred home-construction materials. At Straight Line Construction, we currently offer four options for engineered wood and composite siding. Each has its own appeal in terms of cost, appearance and durability.
If you’re looking for an economical option, consider the T1-11 siding. This material has been around for a long time and is still respected for its looks and durability. We carry two grades of T1-11 siding. The least expensive option is the oriented strand board (OSB) version, which is a type of engineered particle board. For better durability and more finishing options, choose the slightly more expensive T1-11 plywood siding.
The next step up is Duratemp siding from Roseburg. This plywood siding has a 1/8-inch outer layer of real douglas fir laminate. Douglas fir is extremely hard wood and resists damage extremely well. Its appearance is similar to cedar and offers a real-wood look. This makes it an excellent choice for homeowners desiring a natural look.
Homeowners looking for the top-of-the line, most-durable siding available, should consider siding from James Hardie. Hardie uses a patented method to create cement board products in a variety of styles. They’ve been an industry leader for decades and stand by their product with a 30-year warranty. We can provide you with traditional horizontal lap siding, vertical siding or shingle siding.
The last of our new siding options is LP SmartSide siding. Although this is an engineered wood product, it offers the look of real hardwood siding. Once installed, it can be stained or painted to your preference and offers excellent protection against water damage and termites.
If you have questions about any of our new siding options, we’re always happy to hear from you. We’ll walk you through the process of choosing the best type of siding to fit your needs, desires and budget.

siding is no longer simply a convenient alternative to more expensive building materials. these days, siding is one of the most preferred home-construction materials. at straight line construction, we currently offer four options for engineered wood and composite siding. each has its own appeal in terms of cost, appearance and durability.
if you’re looking for an economical option, consider the t1-11 siding. this material has been around for a long time and is still respected for its looks and durability. we carry two grades of t1-11 siding. the least expensive option is the oriented strand board (osb) version, which is a type of engineered particle board. for better durability and more finishing options, choose the slightly more expensive t1-11 plywood siding.
the next step up is duratemp siding from roseburg. this plywood siding has a 1/8-inch outer layer of real douglas fir laminate. douglas fir is extremely hard wood and resists damage extremely well. its appearance is similar to cedar and offers a real-wood look. this makes it an excellent choice for homeowners desiring a natural look.
homeowners looking for the top-of-the line, most-durable siding available, should consider siding from james hardie. hardie uses a patented method to create cement board products in a variety of styles. they’ve been an industry leader for decades and stand by their product with a 30-year warranty. we can provide you with traditional horizontal lap siding, vertical siding or shingle siding.
the last of our new siding options is lp smartside siding. although this is an engineered wood product, it offers the look of real hardwood siding. once installed, it can be stained or painted to your preference and offers excellent protection against water damage and termites.
if you have questions about any of our new siding options, we’re always happy to hear from you. we’ll walk you through the process of choosing the best type of siding to fit your needs, desires and budget.

text: Quvenzhane Wallis, the 9-year-old from “Beasts of the Southern Wild” who’s been winning hearts on the awards-dinner circuit this season (I love that she always carries a puppy purse), is a long shot to win the Oscar for Best Actress; word is that it’s a race between Jennifer Lawrence (“Silver Linings Playbook”) and Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty”), in which Lawrence has the edge. (Me, I’d give it to Emmanuelle Riva.) But if Wallis does win, expect a truly adorable speech. Which brings us to the last time a child won an Oscar: 11-year-old Anna Paquin, who won in 1993 for “The Piano” (and should have been nominated this year for “Margaret,” if you ask me, but nobody does). I remember watching this, 20 years ago, and being both utterly charmed by the genuineness of her reaction (this kid is SHOCKED), and terribly worried that perhaps she was going to have a heart attack, or just wouldn’t ever get a word out. She did, eventually, and the result is a great Oscar moment. Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi* he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist,* others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:13-16).
Once when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.’ Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said in reply, “The Messiah of God” (Luke 9:18-20).
I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship, Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect (Romans 12:1-2).
Now the Lord is the Spirit,and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. All of us, gazing with unveiled face on the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Lord who is the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).
How would you answer, if Jesus were to ask you the same question he asked his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” Maybe you have been taught your catechism and learned that Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior, and the Messiah. Maybe you have searched the Scriptures and can point to stories where he taught and healed and died and rose again. Or maybe you have had a personal encounter with him and can say that he is your Lord, brother, and friend- and he is intimately involved in your life.
But apart from the words you speak, there are other ways of “saying” who Jesus is. Every compassionate thought, every decision to do good is another way of telling yourself, the Lord, and the world around you that you have faith in Jesus and that you want to honor him. Impulses like these come from a heart that wants to please the Lord.
What’s more, when you hold your tongue instead of saying an angry word, or when you catch an unkind thought, or when you choose to let go of a bad memory, you are also proclaiming who Jesus is—and who he is in your life. When you say no to a temptation to sin, or make the effort to counteract evil with good, you are proclaiming Jesus.
Let’s go even further! Your entire life can be conformed to Jesus and his words, and not to “this age” (Romans 12:2); so that with a renewed mind your every word, gesture, and response to situations speaks volumes about who he is. Every day, you can “offer your body as a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to God” (Romans 12:1). Every day you can remind yourself that you are a “new creation” in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and are being transformed more and more into his image (2 Corinthians 3:17). As you do this, you yourself can become a living statement of faith, a breathing revelation of Jesus and his love. What a motivation this can be as you face areas of your life that aren’t yet fully surrendered to Jesus!
The article begins with these words: “How would you answer, if Jesus were to ask you the same question he asked his disciples, ‘Who do you say that I am?’” What would be your answer?
How well do your thoughts, words, and actions convey to others the reality of who Jesus is and your relationship with him? What steps can you take to do even better?
Do you believe, as the article suggests, that in spite of the everyday distractions of this world, and our own busyness, you can “be conformed to Jesus and his words, and not to ‘this age’ (Romans 12:2), so that with a renewed mind your every word, gesture, and response to situations speaks volumes about who he is?
The article goes on to suggest to us that: “Every day, you can ‘offer your body as a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to God’ (Romans 12:1). Every day you can remind yourself that you are ‘a new creation’ in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and are being transformed more and more into his image (2 Corinthians 3:17).” Are you willing to “experiment” with this in the upcoming weeks? What do you think will be the fruits of doing this?
Take some time now to pray and ask the Lord for the grace you need so that “your life can give a clearer answer to the most important question Jesus will ever ask: ‘Who do you say that I am?’” Use the prayer at the end of the article as the starting point.

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon until well blended. Using a mandolin, slice the apples to 1/8 inch thickness.
Lay apple sliced side by side on the parchment paper, in a single layer. Sprinkle apple slices with cinnamon sugar. Bake in the oven for 1 hour, then take out the baking sheets and flip over the apple slices. Bake for another 1 hour, then turn off the oven. Leave the baking sheets in the oven until the chips cool completely (I like to leave them in the oven overnight). Remove from baking sheet and enjoy. Or store in an airtight container for later consumption.
I wish I had this recipe when my kids were little. They sound like a great snack!
Nice pictures, the top one in particular. Nice, healthy recipe - I'll bet these have wonderful flavor. Good stuff - thanks.

Every girl has been heartbroken before. Sad, but true. But that doesn't mean that every girl cant pick themselves up and show the world who they really are.
Make up is directly proportional to insecurity. The more insecure you are, the more make up you have on.
I'm the girl who will put her head on your shoulder, not because she's sleepy, but because she wants to be closer to you.
No. girls don't just want to have fun. We can laugh we can cry, we can come undone. We're so much more than a magazine can't you see? It's a fight with society.
Sometimes a girl has to be like the snow, beautiful, but cold.
Being a girl has many more advantages than drawbacks. A girl is a bundle of surprises, joy, happiness, charm, liveliness and all the good adjectives found in the dictionary. It is the proudest moment for a mother when she gives birth to a girl baby but the baby does not remain a child for ever. “She is a child and then, one morning you wake up, she is a woman and a dozen different people of whom you recognize none” said, Louis L’amour.
Little girls are just angels who haven’t yet spread their wings. There is no end to the fun, frolic, bubbly enthusiasm, love and eagerness expressed by a girl. Man has great love for his wife, certain ambitions for his son but for a daughter, there are no words to describe the emotions and feelings. There are hundreds of quotes on being a girl some of which are the personal experiences and some are the feelings expressed by their dear ones. Send them to your friends and share the feel of being a girl.

BANGOR, Maine — An anonymous Californian has donated $50,000 to help heat the homes of Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program participants, with the condition that author Stephen King do the same.
King agreed, pushing his radio station’s fundraising goal for the program more than $100,000 over its goal, according to The Pulse “Morning Show” host Pat LaMarche.
Zone Radio, owned by Stephen and Tabitha King, has raised $241,820 for the Help Keep ME Warm This Winter campaign, shattering the original goal of $140,000.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notified MaineHousing that it should expect to receive $23 million in LIHEAP funds this winter, down from $55.6 million last year. Gov. Paul LePage said in November he would ask the Legislature for funds to bridge the gap. Congress was poised to restore some LIHEAP funding late Thursday, but U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, said it was not enough.
The radio station decided to contribute as well. As part of the fundraising effort, LaMarche spent a week living in a Hobbit Hole outside the studio in November to raise awareness.
In early December, the Lerner Foundation gave $46,000 toward the cause. That amount combined with the $24,000 that King’s radio stations raised from listeners. King had agreed to match up to $70,000 in donations.
With the match, the goal of $140,000 was met, and that was supposed to be the end of the fundraising, LaMarche said. That changed when the agent of the anonymous donor from California called.
LaMarche told the agent that the goal had already been reached.
“The donor’s rep responded that I should get ahold of my boss and ask him if he’d put up another [$50,000],” LaMarche said. King agreed, and the donor matched that amount.
In all, the King Foundation has contributed $120,000 to supplement LIHEAP funds.
Zone Radio General Manager Bobby Russell noted that the $24,000 in community support received a significant boost from larger donors.
“It’s been so nice to see folks of great means, first the Lerner Foundation and now this anonymous donor, kick in to make the generosity of the little guy go that much further,” Russell said Thursday.
