THE Tree Council has opened its Trees for Schools, Orchard Windfalls and Community Trees grant funding rounds. Funding for tree-planting is available for schools, communities and orchards.
Planting must take place during or close to National Tree Week (November 25 to December 3, 2017). Details can be found on fundingscotland.com or www.treecouncil.org.uk
THE Scottish Government has set aside £18.9 million into a new Aspiring Communities Fund which offers funding opportunities for third sector organisations and community projects working to find long-lasting local solutions to poverty.
The fund will help fragile and disadvantaged communities across Scotland to develop and deliver community-led solutions that tackle inequality and poverty. It will support applications from community anchor organisations, third sector and other eligible community bodies working collaboratively to accelerate the design and delivery of enduring community-led initiatives that tackle poverty, inequality and exclusion.
It will seek to strengthen communities, increase levels of economic activity and stimulate inclusive growth, local service provision and inclusion by:
· Enabling communities to design and establish new or enhanced services addressing poverty and inequalities
· Supporting staff posts within community organisations to increase levels of economic activity
· Accelerating the implementation of projects and services delivering longer-lasting community-led solutions
The funding will support identified target groups and local priorities and the following key areas:
· Support to combat fuel and food poverty
· Provision of childcare and social care
· Business and management training for community bodies to increase resilience
For details, go to www.gov.scot and search for Aspiring Communities
The closing date is April 7.
FOUNDATION Scotland has secured an additional £15,000 which will be distributed through the Spirit of Caithness: A Fourteen Community panel.
The money will be spent on projects working with older people to reduce isolation and increase involvement in the community in Caithness. It will be available for only a short time, so the panel would urge anyone who might benefit from this funding to act quickly.
Constituted groups can apply for up to £2000 and individuals or small unconstituted groups can apply for up to £500. Grant application forms are available to download from Foundation Scotland's website: www.foundationscotland.org.uk/programmes/spiritofcaithness

Coastal Communities Fund: Round 4
The Coastal Communities Fund (CCF) supports the development of coastal locations by promoting sustainable economic growth and jobs, enabling local people to respond to the changing needs and opportunities in their area. The CCF supports a wide range of projects, including those that benefit charities, the environment, education and health. Round four is now open in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, Round four will have around £3.4 million; split between the Highlands and Islands (£1.92 million) and the Rest of Scotland (£1.44 million). Funding awards in excess of £50,000 are available. There is no upper limit (for Scotland or Northern Ireland); however, bids for a large proportion of the funding available will not be successful. Consideration will be taken of how plans for economic growth address local needs and priorities, the number of jobs that will be created and their long term sustainability. Funding is provided for both capital and revenue costs and can typically be used to pay for:
salaries that contribute to delivering the CCF outcome;
delivery of project activities;
travel expenses;
volunteer expenses;
rental of premises, fixtures and fittings;
monitoring and evaluation;
a proportion of overheads directly related to CCF project delivery;
capital costs including land and buildings where these are vital to the success of the project.
Consideration will be taken of how plans for economic growth address local needs and priorities, the number of jobs that will be created and their long term sustainability. Innovative bids are being invited from organisations that support the economic development of the community in coastal locations across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Examples of organisations that are eligible to apply include:
coastal community teams;
voluntary and community sector organisations;
social enterprises, including cooperatives and community ownership initiatives;
local authorities;
local enterprise partnerships; and
private sector companies.
Deadline: stage one applications 17th August 2016 https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/ccf
Spirit of Caithness is part of Spirit of 2012's Glasgow Commonwealth Games legacy programme Fourteen; instigated by Spirit's investment in the Glasgow 2014 XX Commonwealth Games and its legacy around the UK. 14 communities across the UK have been identified as Fourteen communities that will each receive a resource budget of up to £250,000 over three years to invest in activity that local people themselves believe will make a difference to well-being and happiness within their community.
The Spirit of Caithness has two grant making programmes which are open on a rolling programme so applications are always welcome. We try to turn these around as quickly as possible, usually within 6-8 weeks.
On Your Marks! awards grants of £250 – £2000. You are eligible to apply if you are a community organisation keen to run a project or activity that is in keeping with the spirit of the programme.
Sparks! is designed to release small amounts of funding into communities by supporting individuals or groups of local people and neighbours who want to run local projects for the benefit of other community members. The Spark Grant award can be up to £500. Constituted groups, organisations or businesses are not eligible for Sparks.
Another, much larger programme 'Get Set!' is open for a short time. Grants of £2001 to £10,000 are available. Get Set! operates in a very similar way to On Your Marks! as it is for constituted groups closing date to be mid September. At this level of award it is expected that applicants will provide match funding of at least 25% the cost of the project from another source.
These are the outcomes that Spirit of Caithness wants to leave behind as a legacy. So if you have a project in mind that might be a good fit for some of these outcomes you should consider applying. Your project does not need to meet all of the outcomes, but please do consider them all in your application.
People's personal wellbeing increases through participation
Positive change in the perception of disabled people in communities (by both disabled and non- disabled people)
Increased awareness in communities of the issues affecting disabled people
Organisations connect people to activities (organisations or individuals) / make them aware of activities
Role models inspire others to do more and better
People feel more engaged in their local community and have a true sense of pride in the contribution they make to it
Spirit of Caithness hopes to achieve this kind of impact through focusing on four priority areas:
- Social action and volunteering;
- Grass roots sport and physical activity;
- Cultural activity and arts;
- Youth development
So do make sure your project fits with one or more of these outcomes and one or more of the priorities.
The principle of matching
In addition to the Spirit of Caithness grant, the group provides as little or as much as it can afford (time, money, expertise) to help ensure the project is a really positive experience for everyone.
Cashback for Communities
The Cashback Small Grants Scheme provides funds aimed at growing local provision for young people.
All applicants must be able to demonstrate how they will increase provision for young people in their area.
And, must promote a positive image of young people.
There are two types of grant available:
Startup Grants provide much needed funds to get a new group up and running. New units or groups can apply for a grant of up to £1,000 within the first six months of being started. The Cashback Small Grants Scheme particularly welcomes applications from new groups in areas of deprivation or need. A group receiving a Startup Grant must wait at least 12 months before they can apply for a Programme Grant.
Programme Grants are available to support existing local groups to meet the cost or part of the costs, of a project or programme of activity. Groups that have been established for at least six months can apply for a grant of up to £2,000. Successful groups must then wait at least 12 months before they can re-apply to the Cashback Small Grants Scheme. There are also some general terms that apply to all applications:
The minimum grant that can be applied for is £100.
Groups are not required to have match funding.
A grant can also include the purchase of equipment.
Deadline: 1st September 2016 http://www.cashbacksmallgrants.org/about-cashback/is-cb-right-for-our-club/
Trusthouse Charitable trust- Community Centres And Village Halls
They want to support community centres and village halls which are at the heart of small, deprived communities. They expect that you will be providing a range of activities for all ages and abilities which help to promote community cohesion and address local problems of isolation, poverty, lack of local facilities, transport and other issues of relevance to your area. They will consider applications for new buildings; upgrading, renovating or extending buildings; improving or creating outside space (but not car parks). You will need to have secured a minimum of 50% of the costs of the project before you start an application. out more go to http://trusthousecharitablefoundation.org.uk/grants/
Celebrate Scotland
Big Lottery are offering grants of between £500 and £5,000 for groups to hold one off events or activities which celebrate their local community.
You could also celebrate something from your community's history or a local hero. Or maybe it's a chance to bring people together to get to know their neighbours better.
There is £575,000 for projects in Scotland.
You can apply if you are a:
- Voluntary or community organisation with a constitution and bank account
- School
- Statutory body.
You will need to show that your project is open to everyone in your local community.
We are especially keen to receive applications from groups who have not received a grant from us before.
They will give higher priority to applications from:
- projects which demonstrate communities coming together to celebrate and share their diverse cultures
- projects which actively bring different generations together.
- organisations with a low income
- organisations that haven't already received a grant through this programme.
Children, Young People, Families, Early Intervention and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund
Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland is working in partnership with the Scottish Government to administer and manage the Scottish Government's Children, Young People and Families Early Intervention Fund and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund (CYPFEIF and ALEC Fund).
The CYPFEIF aspect of the Fund aims to improve outcomes for children, young people and their families. The key components of the CYPFEIF Fund are:
- Promote the GIRFEC wellbeing indicators and the implementation of UNCRC.
- Delivery of prevention and early intervention activities.

Further to this, the Scottish Government announced an additional £2 million in Project Funding. The Project Funding will be available for charities supporting children, young people, families and adult learning.
About Henry Duncan Awards
The Henry Duncan Awards is the Foundation's general grant-making programme which supports grassroots charities operating in Scotland. The programme is named after the Rev. Henry Duncan who had a driving concern for the under-privileged and whose vision and compassion led to the founding of the worldwide savings bank movement. As the Foundation was originally formed by the Trustee Savings Bank, it was fitting that we named our grant programme after this great man.
To apply to the Henry Duncan Awards, charities must have an annual income of less than £500,000 and be delivering programmes or services which are clearly focused on improving the quality of life for members of the community facing disadvantage. One-off awards of up to £7,000 are made to charities working with people who may typically be experiencing challenging family circumstances, disability, mental ill health, abuse or poverty.
At present, the Foundation is particularly interested in supporting:
- vulnerable children and young people
- isolated older people
- carers
- families in poverty
- people debilitated as a result of a disability or mental health issue.
Please note that it is important that applicants can clearly demonstrate the difference that our funding will make to the people they work with and how their quality of life will be improved in the longer term.
Applicants can apply for core funding, such as running costs or salaries, or project funds. They will consider applications for small capital costs such as equipment. https://www.ltsbfoundationforscotland.org.uk/grant-programmes/henry-duncan-awards/#About

Energy & Emotions IV: What's the Up Side?
I think it is safe to say that when we wake up each the morning, we have some sense of how the next twenty-four hours will transpire. Most days are pretty routine. We are startled awake by the sound of the alarm buzzing in our ear, a radio announcer discussing the traffic or in my case a whining dog. Whether we are ready to or not, it's time to get up and start the day. Morning routines can become somewhat robotic in nature: go to the bathroom, shower, dress, eat breakfast and head out the door to work. Obviously, the order in which these tasks are done varies among persons and may include other items such as working out, packing a lunch or walking the dog. We depend on these routines to jump-start our day and energize us for the hours ahead. No matter how mundane the routine may be, we can depend on it.
Unfortunately, there are also those days that don't go quite so smoothly, we over sleep, the car won't start or we can't find our glasses. Everyone has had those days, they tend to make one feel somewhat "off'" all day. Routines can provide us with so much comfort, that any diversion from routine can lead to a host of emotions. Emotions such as anger, frustration and embarrassment could surface. I feel my shoulder muscles toughen from the anxiety of just writing about this. It is not uncommon for us to want to relay to others how catastrophic our day was – perhaps just to let it out of our system or maybe for a little sympathy.
But when it's all said and done, what can we learn from the glitches that throw a wrench into our routine , what's the up side? I know, what you want to say, I can hear what you are thinking – it was a terrible day – how can there possibly be an upside? The upside is that you still got to work on time despite over sleeping, you finally got around to getting the car fixed, ( something you've been putting off for a while) and you learned that the first place that you should always look for your glasses is on top of your head. In situations like these we can get over the effects of a bad day pretty quickly if we can reframe our thoughts in order to figure out what we learned and challenge ourselves to find the "up side' of the situation. The examples above are issues which although annoying are relatively minor. When a major crisis occurs it can impact your life forever making it very difficult to find anything good to hold onto, however, it can be done.
When we are faced with upheavals in life, our emotions become askew. Here are a few general tips for handling challenging situations:
- We always have a choice about how we view and/or respond to a situationOur view of a situation at the time it occurs may change as we develop more insight about what occurred.
- focus on the things that you have control of and let go of the what you can't control.
- strive for a positive outcome.
- Allow yourself to feel – let your emotions out.
- A good cry can work wonders
- Take care of yourself emotionally and physically.
- Don't let a bad situation lower your self-esteem.
- Use affirmations such: " I am a good person"
- Separate you are as a person, from the situation
- Use creative problem solving skills
- channel your knowledge, skills ands abilities to defuse the situation.
- Rely on your friends, family or other support systems.
- someone to hold your hand, give you or hug or just listen can help immensely.
And most importantly, ask yourself: "WHAT'S THE UP SIDE?"
In every difficult situation is potential value. Believe this, then begin looking for it. Norman Vincent Peale
In times like these it is good to remember that there have always been times like these. Paul Harvey
It's not the situation, but whether we react (negative) or respond (positive) to the situation that's important. Zig Ziglar

Read more about Project 31 here.
Project 31-UAOK #8
Last year I was selected to test an entire book of patterns for Make It Perfect and I met Toni, a fabulous pattern writer and a now good friend. Recently Toni started blogging about the horrible flooding in Australia (where she lives). The numbers are devastating: 26,000 homes are flooded and uninhabitable, over 100,000 people are without electricity, and 90 people are missing, not to mention those that have lost their lives. To help, Toni put together the Queensland Flood Appeal Auctions-hundreds of bloggers are hosting auctions to raise money for the people effected by the flooding. And since this fell into my lap the exact week that I am trying to do 31 unexpected acts of kindness, I decided it must be fate.
Up for auction is a custom, one-of-a-kind quilt made of your favorite child's baby clothes!! The quilt layout will follow the patchwork pattern in the photo, but will feature squares made from YOUR memories. The finished quilt measures about 40 inch square and will be backed in your choice of coordinating fabric. All proceeds will go directly to the Queensland Flood Appeal.
I don't have lots of money, but I do have nap times that I can spend making an adorable heirloom quilt....so I am donating a week of nap times to the cause.Here's how it will work:
- Place your bid by leaving a comment with your bid amount in the comments section of this post and a way to contact you.
- The bidding will start at $50. All bids must be in one dollar increments (in other words, don't bid $51.50, rather bid $52 even)
- This auction is open to everyone, though $20 will be charged for International addresses. Postage is FREE for United States residents.
- The highest bid/comment as of Monday (1/24) at midnight MST is the winner.
- Your entire bid goes straight to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal. The winner will pay for their item and then send me a copy of the receipt email.
- Remember that this is all about raising money for the Queensland Flood Appeal, the quilt is just a bonus!! Bidding starts at $50 USD!!
- If you have any questions about the quilt, please feel free to email me at bethanycr{at}gmail{dot}com.

PHP 5.3 and PEAR available in WebMatrix Beta 3
WebMatrix Beta 3 release has been announced recently. This release includes many new cool features that are described in release announcement and in the Web Deploy team blog. In addition to all those improvements, WebMatrix Beta 3 has much better support for PHP. Specifically:
- It is now possible to enable PHP 5.3 (previous versions of WebMatrix and Web PI only supported PHP 5.2)
- PHP can now be enabled on an empty new site in WebMatrix (previously it was required to install a PHP application in order to enable PHP on a site)
- PEAR installation is now included when PHP is installed.
This post describes those improvements in more details.
Enabling PHP in WebMatrix
When you create a new web site in WebMatrix, by default PHP is not enabled. To enable it go to "Site" –> "Settings" and use the "Enable PHP" check box:
You can choose whether to enable latest stable version of PHP 5.2 or PHP 5.3:
If a selected PHP version is not yet installed then it will be downloaded and installed when you choose to enable it for a site:
(Note that Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package is installed as a depenency for PHP 5.3. This is because WebMatrix and IIS use PHP 5.3 VC9 build, which requires VC9 runtime installed on a machine).
In addition to making it easy to enable PHP for a site, WebMatrix also allows you to easily change major PHP version for a particular site. This is useful when you develop a PHP application and want to test that it works correctly across PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3. To change the PHP version go back to "Site" –> "Settings" section and use the "Change" link:
PEAR installation
PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components. Until recently PEAR was not installed with PHP if installation was performed by Web Platform Installer. With WebMatrix Beta 3 (and with Web Platform Installer 3.0 Beta 3), the PEAR installation scripts are installed when PHP is installed. This means that after you use Web Platform Installer 3.0 to install PHP either for IIS or for WebMatrix, you can enable PEAR by following the instructions described at Getting and installing the PEAR package manager. I will write a more detailed blog post with instructions on how to enable PEAR on Windows and how to install popular PEAR packages.

text: Modifications to Child Support Orders Mission Viejo Child Support Lawyer In a divorce case, a judge may order child support payments from one spouse to another for the purpose of compensation. These payments are designed to help cover costs such as food, clothing, housing, education and others. The court will take many factors into consideration such as both parents' income, the non-custodial parent's ability to make payments, as well as the custodial parent ability to provide for the child or children on their own. Additionally, the child custody orders will be considered to determine which parent needs the support payments. After these support orders have been given, circumstances sometimes change and you may find that the current payments are too much for you to make. Likewise, you may not be receiving enough money from your ex-spouse or partner, making it impossible to properly care for your child. If you are struggling to make payments or if the current payments are not enough, then you may be able to obtain a modification to the support order. In order to obtain a modification from the court you will need to show a change in circumstances that requires or allows for a modified arrangement. How can you modify your child support payments? There are two types of modifications that you can pursue: temporary and permanent. For temporary modifications, this is typically related to a sudden financial hardship, illness, or medical emergency for either one or both parents. Additionally, if the child gets injured or experiences a temporary illness, this could also result in a provisional change in support payments. Permanent modifications may occur when a significant, long-standing situation arises to either one of the parents or the child. This may include items such as: Drastic increase in the general cost of living Substantial change in income for either parent Changes in the cost of caring for the child or children, including daycare, health insurance, school and other activities Sudden medical condition occurs to the child, causing a higher and more involved level of medical care Disability suffered by either parent that now hinders their work performance or ability to perform day-to-day life Huge increase in age since the original support arrangement was created Speak with a qualified family law attorney at The Hunter Law Group to learn more about the specifications of child support modification cases. Especially in cases when your ex-spouse does not agree that a modification is necessary, you will need to file for a motion to modify. At that point you will then have to attend a hearing where you can present your request before a judge. They will require you to prove the claims you are making. You will also need to provide items such as medical bills, doctor's statements, unemployment paperwork or proof of extraneous bills that are causing the need for modification. Why Choose Our Orange County, CA Firm Due to the complicated procedure of filing for a modification and the many issues you will need to prove in this case, it is crucial that you retain the legal services of a Mission Viejo child support attorney from our firm. Past clients have been so pleased with the work that Attorney Hunter has performed for them that there is no other divorce lawyer in the area that they would rather choose.

Seahawks Insider Blog
Hawks release DE Walker, sign WR Hass
The Seahawks made a minor move today, releasing defensive end Derek Walker and bringing up wide receiver Mike Hass from the practice squad to the active roster.
This likely means Ben Obomanu (hamstring) will not go on Sunday, and Hass will become the team's fourth receiver if he's active.
It will be interesting to see if the Oregon State product makes it out on the field, at least for special teams. It would be his first playing time this season.
This is the second time Hass has been elevated to Seattle's active roster. Seattle also had Hass active for Week 9 against Detroit, but Hass was inactive for the Lions game.
Walker has not been active for a game this season. Seattle needed to make a move to clear a roster spot, and had been keeping Walker on the active roster instead of the practice squad because there likely was interest from other team around the league to sign him.

The key to my inspiration for making art, for me, has always been the interconnection of everything in the universe, particularly humans and the rest of the natural world. It seems that far too many people see us as separate from nature, when we are all parts of the same interwoven universe; science tells us that we are made of the same elements and originate from the same place. As Joni Mitchell said, "We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year-old carbon, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden."

The session to record this song was scheduled for May 20, 1964, but The Drifters lead singer Rudy Lewis was found dead that morning (the cause of death is unclear, but likely either a drug overdose or heart attack). The session was rescheduled for the next day, and Johnny Moore was called in to replace Lewis. Moore was with The Drifters in 1958 when their manager fired everyone in the band and brought in new members. He was a convenient replacement for Lewis, and stayed on as their main vocalist.
The group was distraught over Lewis' death, and their subsequent performance added a tinge of melancholy to the song, which is about spending some time under a seaside boardwalk with a love interest, out of sight from the crowds above.
Many artists have covered this, including The Rolling Stones, John Mellencamp, The Jackson 5, and Bruce Willis.
The Drifters released a sequel to this a few months later called "I've Got Sand In My Shoes." It hit #33 in the US.
This was written by Arthur Resnick and Kenny Young. Resnick also wrote "
Good Lovin'
" for The Rascals; Young wrote songs for Herman's Hermits and formed a band called Fox.
It was Atlantic Records' head Jerry Wexler who came across the song at Resnick and Young's publishing company, and decided that The Drifters should record it. The group wasn't thrilled with the song, but Wexler had final say on all songs they recorded, and made it clear that they were going to record "Under The Boardwalk.
In a previous Drifters hit, they had a tryst with their baby
Up On The Roof
. In this song, they decide that it's too hot up there, and seek out a cooler location. They sing in the first line: "when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof..."
This song was produced by Bert Berns along with the English arranger Mike Leander. Berns had just taken over as The Drifters producer, replacing Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who were busy with other projects. Berns stayed on as the group's producer until 1967, when he died of a heart attack.

When God was planting musical song seeds on the
Earth, he watered and tended to this song more
than the others. Classic !!!
Barry from Sauquoit, Ny
On September 20th 1964, "I've Got Sand In My Shoes" by the Drifters entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #72; and on October 18th, 1964 it peaked at #33 {for 1 week} and spent 7 weeks on the Top 100...
As mentioned above it was a sequel to "Under the Boardwalk", the week that "Sand' entered the Top 100 "Boardwalk" was still on the chart at position #38, five weeks earlier it had peaked at #4 {for 1 week}...
Between 1954 and 1966 the group had thirty-eight Top 100 records, five made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Save the Last Dance for Me" for 3 weeks on October 17th, 1960...
They just missed having a second #1 record when "There Goes My Baby" peaked at #2 {for 1 week} on August 17th, 1959...
The week that "There Goes My Baby" was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "A Big Hunk O' Love" by Elvis Presley.

Re: Good Lovin'. The original was by The Olympics. Was it really written for The Young Rascals?
Jonesy from Laguna Beach, Ca
This is one of the best songs ever. I plan to play this at my wedding (:
Cal from London, United Kingdom
The American actor Bruce Willis rerecorded this song under the name of "Bruno". Willis actually does a decent version.
Chomper from Franjkin County, Pa
Bette Midler sand this song ina movie ; as well as her popular song , "The Wind Benief My Wings". ..Both are good songs. ..The Drifters were , are , and always will be #1. .."LONG LIVE 'THE DRIFTERS' !!!"
Chomper from Franjkin County, Pa
Both the song "Under The Boardwalk" and "Sand In My Shoes" , are about the about two couples making out along the boadwalk and beach areas of Atlantic City, New Jersey. ..The line "From the park you hear the happy sound of the Carousel ..You can almost taste the hotdogs and french fries they sell", is talking about the famous carousel that was onced built on the boardwalk , heading out to sea (as old pictures of the Atlantic City's Boadwalk used to show) ; and and the hotdogs and french fries were the famous "Coney Island Hotdogs" French Fries that were (and possibly still are)sell at the many snack stands , where many of the tourists and customers would stop and buy food to eat and refreshments to drink. ..They would also buy different souvenirs (hats , t - shirts , toys , etc. ), as well as the popular homemade "Salt Water Taffy". ..Not far from Atlantic City is another town called "Brigantine" ; and it was there that they used to have a boardwalk and swimming area , plus a haunted house called "Brigantine Castle". ..In about 1986 or '89 , there was a fire that broke out at the bulding ; nearly destroying a bit of the haunted amusement house , plus the water waves rushing the shorelines from the ocean, damaging part of the building. ... Today, nothing remains of the boardwalk nor the haunted castle in Brigantine but the old rotted fencepoles. ...The beach and areas were bought and turned into housing complex for condominiums and hotels.
Fred from Laurel, Md
Two things: 1) This song is a pinnacle of music. By that I mean that it is unimprovable, absolutely the BEST, in the musical direction that it takes. It goes down like the very smoothest brandy, slowly and lovingly sipped, and it produces the same warm glow inside. I only wish I had connected with it at the time it was out, but I was more into other musical types then. Another rare example of this that comes to mind is "Dixie Storms" by Maria McKee and Lone Justice from 1986. *** 2) The YouTube vid currently (2009 Jun 04) on this page, has them singing, "we'll be falling in love," both times the chorus occurs. I could just about swear I remember hearing them, or maybe some other group, singing, "we'll be making love" at least once in this song. Was it a later recording by the Drifters, or someone else, or am I hallucinating? Anyone know the particulars of this?
Wayne from Salem, Va
A great song by The Drifters. I just turned 49. So I was just a young lad when this song first came out. But I love oldies. And have been listening to pop,rock,soul,c&w and r&b plus blues all through the years. When you listen to "Under The Boardwalk" it takes you back to a time when life was better and everything was so carefree. The same goes for all of the old Drifters songs. They make you remember when. Or even if you don't remember. You can just imagine how it was. Great harmonies. I know alot of people have covered this song. The Rolling Stones did a nice version on their "12X5" album. Thanks-
Dave from Cardiff, Wales
The song was UK #21 hit for the Tom Tom Club as well in 1982
Caitlin from Upper Township, Nj
I live in South Jersey, so this song basically describes my summer life

This song was recorded on the morning of May 21, 1964, with Johnny Moore singing lead. The group's main lead singer at the moment, Rudy Lewis ("Up On The Roof", "On Broadway") was to sing "Under The Boardwalk" on this scheduled session but was found dead that same morning in his hotel room bed from what is suspected to be a heroin overdose, although some claim that Lewis was a binge eater and probably choked to death in his sleep.
Ricci from Anaheim, Ca
I couldnt help but to add a comment regarding my personal affiliation to this lovely song. I have composed a remake of this song that has recently been selected by a major music library for possible use feel free the give it a listen. Id love to hear your comments www.broadjam.com/ric4hitsongs
Dae from Sumter, Sc
Bill Pinkney, the last surviving member of the original Drifters, is the nicest person! For a number of years, I lived across from where he was born and raised. The spot is now a memorial park, and Dr. Pinkney tries to hold a free barbeque and concert there every year. Clyde McPhatter's son, Ron, sings with Dr. Pinkney.
Even though he is in his eighties, Dr. Pinkney still sings, with a voice that is just as strong as ever.
Along with his impressive music career, (and no, there was not a death during the recording of "Under The Boardwalk") Dr. Pinkney was awarded a Presidential Citation with four Bronze Stars for his bravery during World War II. He was also a pitcher in Negro Baseball League. If you ever get a chance to hear the Original Drifters, featuring Bill Pinkney, don't pass it up. These gentlemen will give you an evening you'll never forget.
Fyodor from Denver, Co
I grew up thinking "making love" was strictly a euphemism for sex, but hearing the phrase in this song made me realize it could also mean making out...or whatever else.....
Marianne from Baton Rouge, La
Lynn Anderson did a verison of this song.
Jordan from Haddam, Ct
Being under a boardwalk is kinda scary. I mean its like dark and stinky barefeet are like above you. This could be a dirty song, or 'I'm being held captive by beach nazis.'
Joshua from Twin Cities, Mn
John Mellencamp also covered this song on his "Rough Harvest" album.
Jim from Minneapolis, Mn
The best feel-good summer song ever! Thanks, Drifters!
Brian from Meriden, Ct
Ocean, you believe too much of what you hear.
Rich, I like that. I could see that.
Maggie, tell your husband Chuck Berry did Johnny B. Goode and not Elvis and see if he'd bet you for more cash.
The Drifters were the absolute best r&b/doo-wop/rock and roll group of the 50s and put out more legendary records with Ben E. King into the 60s. None better than There Goes My Baby, early on in his tenure.
Ken from St Johns, Canada
The 80s Belfast band the Undertones do a great cover of this song
Ocean from Amsterdam, Netherlands
In the book "The Originals", by Arnold Rijpens, I read that one of the Drifters died during the recording session of this song. Because the studiotime wasn't cheap, they continued recording this song while the bandmember lay dead under a blanket, till the paramedics came...
Billy Ross from Hagerstown, Md
my dad actually works with the guy who was the backing guitarist for the band
Natasha from Chico, Ca
great song, i saw the current drifters perform live this summer, and we sang along w/ them, in the mikes, front row center, awesome...
Rich from Elkins, Wv
This would be a good song for J. Buffett
Maggie from Johannesburg, South Africa
I have just won R200 in a bet with my husband. He thought that the Rolling Stones were the original artists of Under the Boardwalk. Thank you for resolving our (very animated) bet with a great website!

Julia turned 2 last Wednesday! The night before her birthday we said, "Julia, do you know what tomorrow is?" And she replied, "Juia's burday!" When we went in to get her on the morning of she immediately said, "It my burday!" She was thrilled and talked about her birthday for days.
Julia - 2 yrs on Sept 19; Clara - 1 mo on Sept 17
We went low key for this year's party. So low key, especially compared to last year's when we had a theme and a ton of food and oodles of decorations and we invited everyone we knew. Last year we didn't have a newborn, of course.
3 balloons, 24 pictures, some gifts
So when we were "planning" (by which I mean scrambling at the last minute because we had been too overwhelmed to "plan"), we decided to focus just on what Julia would love most, leaving out all the extraneous stuff that parents do that often goes unnoticed by the child. We knew she'd love her cousins and her aunt and uncles, and we figured she'd go for some cake. I bought balloons (for the kids) and put up Julia's monthly milestone pictures (for the adults); she opened presents, played with her cousins, ate some cake, and was on cloud 9 the whole time.
Whole Wheat Applesauce Cake with Caramel Glaze and a big 2 on top
"wed nitten" (red kitchen)
Our big gift to her was this fantastic red kitchen that we stayed up until 1 AM assembling the night before. Wish I could have captured the look of pure delight on her face when she saw it.
My new theory: it's not a party without balloons!
All that was on Wednesday night, on her actual birthday, but we didn't stop there. With a visit from Honey, Papa, Ling and Minli on the horizon, we decided to have a second party on Saturday so they could celebrate with us - this one at the park and also super simple. More balloons this time, some snacks, a playground, more cousins to play with, and incredible weather. Julia had a blast.
Clara at the park with Honey
And I had so much fun that I nearly felt like it was my own birthday. I enjoy Julia every single minute of every single day and most of the time I just can't believe how awesome she is.
Julia Minerva: 27.2 lbs and 33 inches of awesome
I'm so glad she had a happy Birthday.

15 Things all women should know
I found this while searching online. Its 15 beauty tips every woman should know. Hope you girls enjoy it
1. Concealer is a girls best friend. Ever wonder how some women just look refreshed and ready to face the day, without a stitch of makeup on? The key to great looking skin without looking made up is concealer. Not only does it get rid of dark circles in a jiffy, it also helps to make the eyes appear brighter and more awake. Also, try applying some to the eyelids, which can also be dark and uneven in color. The other, more obvious use for it is to cover up that pimple or blemish, but you can also apply some concealer around the mouth and in frown lines to decrease their appearance. Since youre only applying product to areas that need it, your face doesnt look like youve spackled your makeup on, but you still look put together.
2. Dont skip curling your lashes. Most people arent born with naturally full, lush lashes, but you dont necessarily need to wear mascara all the time. Taking one minute out of your day to use a lash curler will help your eyes look more open and alert. Although a lash curler may look like some torture device to some, it makes a huge difference in the way your eyes look, though it does take practice. Place the curler as close to your eyelid as you can get (without hurting yourself, of course) and gently clamp down. Hold for five seconds and release. Remember, you dont want crimped lashes, so dont press down too hard or hold it for too long. The lashes should curve up, not at an angle. If you want, you can follow with a coat of mascara if you have time.
3. Always keep Chapstick or lip balm handy. With cold weather approaching, lips will need to be protected and moisturized. Always apply a lip balm before you go to bed for soft and supple lips in the morning. Also, before you reapply your lipstick throughout the day, apply a light layer of balm, and then blot with a tissue. That will remove any excess so that your lipstick will still adhere without a lot of slippage. Also keep in mind that ChapStick can do double duty as a cuticle cream.
4. Dryer sheets arent just for laundry. If youre prone to flyaway or static hair, rub a dryer sheet on your tresses to keep your strands laying flat. It will also leave a nice soft scent behind as well! Also, if youve been out to a restaurant and left with the smell of fried food in your clothing, you can give your self a pat down with a sheet to minimize the odor.
5. Nude or clear nail polish is a must for girls on the go. If you dont have the time or energy to visit the nail salon on a weekly basis, opt for a lighter color nail polish next time you get a manicure. If the color chips, it will be less noticeable than a dark or brighter color. If you go for clear polish (which always looks neat and clean), you can probably get away with going to the salon every two weeks.
6. Mom was right: You must wash your face every night! Daily skin care will help to improve the skins appearance and texture. If youre too tired (or in my case, too lazy) to get to the sink, invest in makeup remover wipes, which you can keep on your nightstand. You dont even need water -- just pull one out, wipe your face down, throw the towelette away and call it a night.
7. You dont need to wash your hair every day. Unless your scalp or hair is extremely oily, most stylists will tell you to wash your hair every other day or every two days. It is not only a great time saver, but also better for your hair. Daily shampooing can strip your hair and scalp of naturally produced oils, which help to condition the follicles.
8. Wash your makeup brushes. Over time, the buildup of oils and product can lead to the growth of bacteria in your makeup brushes. If youve recently experienced a breakout that you cant attribute to hormonal changes or any other reason, the cause may be hiding in your powder brush. You should clean your brushes at least one a month, if not every other week. Use a gentle soap or baby shampoo to deep clean your brushes and let them air-dry overnight.
9. Milk does a body good, but water does a body great. Everyone knows you should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, but do you know how much that really is? For instance, if you wake up at 7 a.m. and go to bed at 11 p.m., you need to drink about a glass of water every two hours during your waking time. Drinking enough water not only helps improve your health, but your skin as well.
10. Take inventory of your makeup case annually. By going though all of your makeup, you can toss out whats old, expired, unnecessary or unused and pare down your stash. This will help you save time when youre getting ready in the morning, and help you focus on what you need next time youre at the makeup counter. Remember, liquid and cream cosmetics usually have a shelf life up to a year, so if you have any lipsticks you havent worn in the last six months, toss them.
11. Find a great hairstylist and stick with em. Developing a relationship with the person who cuts or colors your hair is important. Your stylist is like your hair doctor -- over time, they will understand your hair preferences and needs, and theyll be able cater to your style. If you are thinking about a big change, wouldnt you feel better going to someone you know (and who knows you) rather than a stranger? By establishing a rapport with your stylist, you will minimize the chance of walking out of the salon in tears.
12. Layer fragrances to make them last longer. If your favorite perfume fades on you within a few hours, the best way to maximize fragrance is to layer it. Using a scented body wash and/or lotion along with a perfume will help to enhance and strengthen the scent -- so as one fades, the other remains somewhat potent.
13. For full, voluminous hair, invest in Velcro rollers. Large, 2-inch rollers help add volume without curl. If your hair is straight, just give freshly shampooed hair a quick blow dry on high for 5 minutes until it is about 80-percent dry. Section the top pieces into 3 or 4 parts and wrap 2-inch pieces around the roller. Blast each section with heat for about 30 seconds and let cool for 5 minutes. When you take the rollers out, either shake the pieces out or brush into your natural style. You can also do this on already dry hair. The key to this is just focusing on the top parts, which you can mist with a little water, and follow the directions above.
14. Everyone can use a little eye cream. Women in their 20s can use a lightweight eye cream or gel as a preventive measure. The extra hydration will keep wrinkles at bay. For women 40 and older (or those with extra dry skin), you can use a more emollient texture, maybe even switching one for night and one for day. The moisture will help to fill in fine lines and improve the appearance of the skin surrounding the eye.
15. A little blush never hurt anybody. Bronzer is nice, but in the middle of fall or winter, it can look a little fake. Lost your tan? Embrace your natural skin tone with a flush of color. Look for a shade in the pinkish family. If youre fair, pick a light or pale pink. For deeper skin tones, choose one with red in it for a great just-came-in-from-the-cold cheek. This look not only is fresh and trendy, but also works all year round.

Thanks for the tips..Eye cream is something that I have started using lately. An older woman I work with says she would have started using it when she was younger. I have had the same hairstylist for 4 years and I couldn't be happier.

Excellence in property management is more than clean floors, elevators that work, and responsiveness to tenant requests.
It's developing budgets and preparing timely, accurate reports. It's handling everything tenants need from their facilities—so they can focus on their business. It's giving building owners the peace of mind: saving them money, showing them new opportunities to succeed, and taking care of everything from the biggest leases to the smallest details.
It's the experience to anticipate problems and handle them before they ever arise. It's the philosophy that empowers our expert property managers to treat our partners' properties as if they were our own—and respond to every need, large or small, accordingly. No wonder REI has more than 2.8 million square feet of office space under management. We do that.
NCAA Headquarters and Hall of Champions
Indianapolis, IN
REI provides full-service management for the corporate headquarters of the NCAA. This undertaking exemplifies REI's flexibility and management expertise because it involves the care of several thousand square feet of office space, the Hall of Champions and a large off-site distribution center. REI facilitated the move-in and developed and implemented all start-up procedures, ensuring a smooth transition.
FFA National Headquarters
Indianapolis, IN
REI manages the FFA Headquarters and its 36,000 square foot Merchandise Center. The Merchandise Center includes the licensing and customer and distribution services departments for the organization.
Indiana State Forensics Laboratory
Indianapolis, IN
The REI project management team quickly adapted to the multitude of challenges regarding this highly sensitive facility. REI's strong commitment to service helps ensure that the stringent LEED certification is maintained at all times.
Meridian Crossing
Indianapolis, IN
REI Property Management completely updated this six-story office building at 116th and Meridian while it was occupied. The updates included state-of-the-art fiber optics and the installation of a computer controlled HVAC system that reduced the overall utility costs. Now tenants can stay comfortably connected for less.
The James Building
Carmel, IN
This 60,000 square foot, four-story office building includes a 625 spot parking garage; a 500 seat main theater and a 200 seat studio theater. The tenants include Software Engineering Professionals and The Civic Theater.

The Centres main aim is to help children to spend time with the parent they do not live with. We offer a neutral, relaxed environment which, in addition, is also geared to making an often difficult situation easier for parents.
When and where is it?
The Centre conducts meetings on the 1st and 3rd Saturday in the month between 10am and 3pm at Aylesbury Methodist Church. The length of stay can be arranged with Centre staff at the time of booking.
Who uses the centre?
Parents who have not had contact with children and need a neutral, friendly place to re-establish their relationship. Parents who do not have suitable accommodation for contact visits or who live a distance away. The centre can also be used as a handover point for children.

If you're interested in having your name written in Arabic calligraphy, there are two ways in doing it, either ask our calligraphers to write your name in Arabic for you, or by trying to use our calligraphy tips and help to write your name yourself. The first option is safer, more accurate, allows you to choose more options and is more artistic and decorative, because it's performed by human calligraphers trained on the Islamic art and Arabesque designs.
