WordPress is an extremely powerful tool to power for any kind of website.
One of the best things the WordPress developers have provided us with is the use of filters.
These simple little hooks allow you to adjust any plugin, theme or WordPress behavior.
Taking them apart
The WordPress function
add_filter() consists of 4 parts, annotated by a dollar sign:
add_filter( $tag, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args );
- The tag ($tag)
- The function to use ($function_to_add)
- The priority ($priority)
- And the Accepted Args ($accepted_args)
How it Works
add_filter() must always run before the filter caller
add_filter() is used, then
apply_filters() will overwrite its value with the one from
Let's dissect the parts.
The filter Tag is the name of the filter that's being applied. This name is chosen by the original developer.
The filter Function is your own or an existing function that you want to apply the filter on.
This function must return a value which will change the output of the original filter caller.
The filter Priority (default 10) is the order you wish to call the filter on.
Filters always run in order of priority. So 1 runs before 10. If two 10's are found, then they run in the order they're seen by PHP.
This means that if multiple filters are applied, the first argument will change to the previous filter's output.
The filter Accepted Args (default 1) is an advanced way to provide extra information when using a filter. Normally, you shouldn't have to use this.
The first argument value is always the input value for
apply_filters(). More can be added if needed, like the state (post or page?) in which the filter is applied.
Default Functions
WordPress also has a few great functions built-in to render an outcome of a filter.
These are, aptly named:
The example function with a filter
This example function will be used throughout this tutorial. This function will print the default string "Hello!" whenever it's run on the website.
function print_hello() {
//* Hello! is put in $greeting as a string.
$greeting = "Hello!";
//* The author name of the post/article.
$author = get_the_author();
* Applies filters 'print_hello_filter'
* By default $the_output is 'Hello!'.
* "apply_filters()" only uses the first parameter as return value when left unfiltered.
* The second parameter is passed to "add_filter()" as an optional extra argument.
* @param string $greeting The greeting, default 'Hello!'.
* @param string $author The author name. Default current article author.
$the_output = apply_filters( 'print_hello_filter', $greeting, $author );
//* Don't echo if $the_output is empty.
if ( ! empty( $the_output ) ) {
//* The output isn't empty, echo it.
echo $the_output;
A quick example using default functions
The following example filter uses both a WordPress default function as our own, which does the same.
In this example we return an empty string for the filter's output. Which makes function
print_hello() effectively do nothing:
//* Empty the filter output.
add_filter( 'print_hello_filter', '__return_empty_string' );
//* The above is the same as:
add_filter( 'print_hello_filter', 'my_empty_string_function' );
function my_empty_string_function() {
//* Don't forget: always use return when adding a filter.
return '';
Alternatively, because PHP function
empty() also checks for false, null, empty arrays and 0, we could use any of the other default functions.
Please keep in mind that you should always follow the original intent of the filter. So if the first argument is a string, you should also return a string.
Therefore, doing the following is not advised in this case; although here it works:
add_filter( 'print_hello_filter', '__return_false' );
Another example using custom functions
This example filter uses a custom function:
//* Change print_hello()'s output from 'Hello!' to 'Hi there!'.
add_filter( 'print_hello_filter', 'my_hi_there_function' );
function my_hi_there_function() {
return "Hi there!";
Another example using arguments
This example filter uses a custom function with an extra argument:
* Use the argument, with priority 10 (default)
* Anatomy: {
* print_hello_filter : The filter name set by the developer
* my_hi_there_function : My callback function set by me
* 10 : The priority
* 2 : The number of arguments used (1 = base, 2+ = extra's)
* }
* @param string $greeting The greeting, default 'Hello!'.
* @param string $author The author name. Default current article author.
* @return string The filtered greeting.
add_filter( 'print_hello_filter', 'my_hi_there_sybre_waaijer_function', 10, 2 );
function my_hi_there_sybre_waaijer_function( $hello, $author ) {
//* If the $author is Sybre Waaijer, let's do something special.
if ( 'Sybre Waaijer' == $author ) {
//* Return "Hi there Sybre Waaijer!"
return "Hi there $author!";
} else {
//* Return default parameter, the first function argument: "Hello!"
return $hello;
Where to place filters?
1. Theme functions.php (not recommended)
You can place filters in your theme's function.php file, which will always load at the right time for most filters. Be sure to create a backup.
2. Child theme functions.php (recommended)
Because the theme's functions.php file will be overwritten when you update the theme, you shouldn't place custom code in there.
Instead, the use of a child theme is therefore advised.
3. Custom plugin (recommended)
In a custom plugin, you can freely add code as you'd wish.
A great example plugin is one of the default plugins, Hello Dolly by Matt Mullenweg. It's written to be an example.
You should ignore the 1-star reviews left by users who don't know what it's for, an example plugin that is what it's for.
Hello Dolly uses actions instead of filters, but they're basically the same thing. (This is not true, but that's a lesson for another day.)
Once you activate your custom plugin, all filters within will be activated!
4. Custom mu-plugin (advanced)
A mu-plugin is a "Must Use" plugin. These kind of plugins will always run and can't be deactivated or altered through the WordPress interface.
They also run before normal plugins, so if want to change the earliest of actions, these should be used.
These plugins are mostly used on MultiSites where the plugin then holds security features or change global behavior.
Rounding it up
Filters are an extremely powerful tool in WordPress. Keep in mind that they're developer-oriented and that they're added in the code for special yet unintended scenarios.

October 10, 2013 (CHICAGO) --Mayor Rahm Emanuel picked up a shovel Thursday to help plant trees as part of a new city initiative.
The mayor joined officials with "Openlands Urban Forestry" in the Chicago Lawn Neighborhood.
The group plans to increase the number and quality of trees city-wide.
The mayor says the planting is part of the sustainability of Chicago communities.
"To be economically sustainable, it means that both schools, public transportation, libraries, streetscape - all the things in parks that go into giving a quality of life - so both families and businesses can thrive," Emanuel said.
The mayor says every playground in Chicago will be totally rebuilt within the next five years as part of city redeveloping efforts.

One of the skills I'm working on this year is winter camping. I'm most comfortable in a hammock, so I've been working on making my own gear for better hammock camping. I had other commitments this weekend, so a camping trip wasn't possible. However, we had another snow storm today, so I put on my winter camping backpack with everything I would take for a weekend camping trip and went for a "hike" in town. I live near a large park with many hiking trails and campgrounds so I headed out the door, hiked to the grand view terrace of the park and came back for a total hike of 5.37 miles in about two hours. I learned the pack weight is reasonable, but sweating is still going to be an issue.
Last week, I started some celery seeds and started on a grow light setup. The seed package says they need a couple of weeks before they sprout, but I've found in my research that the grow lights will speed that up. Funds are tight this week, so I dug around in the garage and found materials to finish rigging up the lights.
It's not pretty and it's not a permanent structure, but it'll get the job done. Not bad for some used PVC pipe and fittings, a little 550 cord, and some 3/8in. bungee cord I ordered by mistake last year. Here's another perspective –
I couldn't have done it without some knots you might not use in everyday life – a Prusik Loop and a Clove Hitch.
That's all for this week. Keep learning and trying new things!

Copying Concept Art
I just spent the last hour copying some concept art, probably done during the storyboarding phase of production, from well-known animated films. Guess the films? That's easy, Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away and Disney's Aladdin. Harder question: guess the scene?

B3nchmarQ is typecast as South Africa's most dynamic Hip-Hop duo, partly because of their prime versatility and hit-backed stage presence. That's about to change – perhaps to something more appropriate and befitting - Africa's Best Hip-Hop Dual Export, musically and otherwise. The Metro FM Music Awards nominees just dropped their highly-anticipated first official single outside Ambitiouz Entertainment to crystallize what B3nchmarQ really is about. Titled "Wayase," the rhythm infilled song is tinged with sonorous raps from the duo and features BET's Best International Act; Ice-Prince, an equally effectual Hip-Hop artist from Nigeria.
"There's growing appetite for our music in other parts of Africa and "Wayase" feeds into that. Its tropical sound is far-reaching than any song we've ever done. We are finally taking our music, our fans and the B3nchmarQ brand to the world," commented the talented duo.
If "Wayase" is anything to go by, it is safe to say B3nchmarQ will be making music more audaciously; which is worth a nod for the rising stars. Get the song here:

Project for children in Lay Gayint, Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world. Deep poverty is a major cause for child migration, child trafficiking, child labour and child exploitation. Many children are looking for ways to survive, and move around in search for better places to do so. Vulnerable children are at great risk of being mistreated and abused. They are also an easy victim for child traffickers, and young girls often end up in prostitution.
Education is the most powerfull intervention to break the poverty spiral. Terre des Hommes Netherlands' project partner WCAT prevents child trafficking and migration through improving access to education for vulnerable children in Lay Gayint, part of the northwestern trafficking and migration corridor in Ethiopia. Key aspects of WCAT's work are reunifying migrated and trafficked children with their families, offering livelihood support for families, raising awareness within the community on the importance of education and issues of child trafficking and migration, and strengthening community child protection structures. In addition, WCAT has constructed a shelter to provide a temporary stay for formerly trafficked and migrant chidren who receive rehabilitation services in the process of being reunified with their families.

Excelsior Scholarship spring application now available
Students who missed the fall deadline can apply for the Excelsior Scholarship online
Students can now apply for the spring semester's Excelsior Scholarship. The application is available online until Dec. 4.
The scholarship application is for eligible students who missed the fall application deadline; those already receiving the scholarship do not need to apply.
The Excelsior Scholarship, in addition to federal and state aid packages, allows students to attend SUNY or CUNY colleges and universities tuition-free. To be eligible for the award, students must have taken 30 credit hours in the prior year. They must also come from a household making less than $100,000 a year. Governor Andrew Cuomo said the income cap will be raised gradually to include more students.
More than 1,500 UB students received money through the Excelsior award this semester. Director of Financial Aid John Gottardy estimates students will receive approximately $2.9 million in Excelsior aid by the end of the fall semester. That's $1,933 spent on average per person.
Gottardy said it is premature to fully evaluate the program's success, but the program has received "very positive feedback" from students and parents.
The scholarship is a "last-dollar" award, which to some students, has led to confusion in how the money is distributed.
Gottardy explained that to determine the amount of the Excelsior award, Financial Aid first reduces the tuition award by other grants and scholarships that a student may be receiving for the academic year.
These include the NYS Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) award, Federal Pell Grant and other grants and scholarships not exclusively earmarked for expenses other than tuition.
"Students may be receiving another grant or scholarship that causes a reduction in their Excelsior Scholarship amount," Gottardy said. "Another reason may be that students may be looking at both tuition and fees. Fees are not covered under the Excelsior program."
"I think those that feel the program is misleading are relatively few since this program has had such a positive impact on so many New York residents from across the state," he said.
Students can apply for the spring semester online.

never stop fighting
"There will always be someone who will question your worth. Don't let it be you."
The past couple months have been a war inside my head; constant shooting of bullets for questions like, "Am I worthy of love?" "Am I enough?" "Why am I a terrible person, causing so much pain to those I love yet can't stop?"
It is so easy to fall into this vicious cycle of thoughts, and oh so difficult to pull yourself out. I have been struggling immensely with questioning my worth, my value, my purpose on this planet. Whether or not I matter, make a difference, have an impact. The beautiful thing about life is that each and every day is a new day to wake up and begin again. To give yourself the
much-deserved love that you give everyone else. So next time you look in the mirror, repeat these to yourself. Next time you see someone struggling, tell them these words of encouragement. Keep repeating them, keep spreading them to others.
- You are loved, inside and out.
- Your dog's eyes light up when they see you because you are one hell of an incredible person and mean the world to them
- Your 8-year-old self would probably think you're pretty damn cool
- No one's path is going to be perfectly linear. We all struggle, we're all human. Our imperfections and flaws are what make us interesting.
- The sun continues to rise each and every morning, no matter how cloudy it gets at night. You can do the same.
Keep going, never stop fighting.

march 7th, 5:24 pm; quick reminders
Jan 20th: 10:42 am
It's weird how things can go from being so care-free and wonderful to suddenly take a turn for the worst in just a matter of months. You go somewhere different, are put in a new environment, meet new people, experience new things….so many things change in in your life. And with that change comes discomfort. It's scary. Terrifying. And slowly but surely the thoughts begin to creep back into your mind. The eating disorder jumps right in ready to save you from the uncertainty, yet again. Even though you are well aware of how god awful life is when living under the wrath of the ed, you simply can't resist. In fact, you don't even notice yourself falling under its spell. And soon enough, you get to a point where you're terrified as to what life will be like without the eating disorder. For years, I couldn't even fathom what my existence would be without it. It was my security blanket, and I had become dependant on it to get me through the agonizing uncertainty life brings along with change.
I'm sitting here today, in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines and tangled in wires, heart racing when the doctors and dietitians step foot in my room, reflecting on my journey so far. In the past, I remember sitting in treatment, going through the motions, doing what they told me to do just so I could get back home and go right back to what I was doing before. Right back into the comfort of the ed. It was as if the ed was there waiting for me, open arms, willing to take me right back in under its deadly control.
Today, I sit here, committing myself to recovery. Truly, genuinely, wanting this. Ready to kick the ed in the ass and regain my health, happiness, LIFE. Learning that this obsessive mindset that has taken over my brain as a result of this demon trying to control my life does not need to be permanent. That I have the ability to break through these thoughts. And continually break through them, until they become more of a whisper rather than a yell, and I won't even be able to hear them because my own thoughts are stronger. When the desire to live and truly thrive becomes stronger than the desire to escape and shrink myself into nothing.
"You've always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself"
Is every day going to be easy now? Hell no. But each day, I strive to fight. As each meal goes by and each day passes, the demonic thoughts wait for any reason to
crawl back into my mind and take over. But, I am resilient. My heart is full. My passion for life is growing. I am not the shattered, broken girl the ed claims I am. I am more than the hopelessness that takes over deep within my core and the fear that rushes through my veins. I am a fighter, and I will beat this. I will kill the demon that tried to kill me. You may see me struggle, but you will never see me give up.
what makes you smile?
The other week I was asked, ""What is one small simple thing that makes you smile?" This question was a lot easier to answer than I thought I was going to be. Suddenly I had a running list in my mind of all the little sweet moments in life that warm my heart.
-When you see dogs stick their heads out the windows of cars while driving and their ears flop in the wind, their tongue sticks out, and they looks so pure, so happy.
-Those nostalgic commercials on TV you see for your childhood favorites like Jif peanut butter or Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
-Those nights where you are with great people and you completely lose track of time because you are so absorbed into the moment. You know that ones-they cause your face to hurt because it has been hours upon hours and you have yet to stop smiling. The times when you are sitting there with whoever makes you happiest realizing that you literally aren't doing anything yet you remain in that serene state, always smiling.
When I was thinking of these things it reminded me that despite the hardships and troubled past I have lived, these little things are still able to bring me joy.
My favorite is when I see those who I know have struggled and been through the most in their lives that come out with the biggest smiles. Somehow, they show up at the end of the day not being defined by despair or torment. They show up with a smile that screams triumph and resilience.
They live their lives on a different viewpoint than the average Joe; they see things in a different light. A brighter light.
These kinds of souls are incredible if you think about it. Despite being torn down, they've built themselves back up. They have somehow fought through the demons in order to reach that light at the end of the tunnel. They understand fearful and ugly moments you may go through in life because they have been there themselves. Several times. And have gotten through every. single. time. They sense the rainbow coming in after a rainstorm. They will dance in the rain rather than be fearful of getting wet.
These people will introduce you to a world you never knew existed because you never saw it the way they've seen it. Grasping onto every little thing that brings them happiness like they'll never have it again. Because, in reality, that's how it feels for them sometimes.
And because of this, they do not take things for granted. They hold power in life's blissful moments.
"It's amazing seeing you smile so brightly when just a few months ago you thought you would never see that light again. When you thought everything was ultimately hopeless, yet here you are, living in the moment and not taking these small experiences for granted. The freedom and magic you feel shows through these simple smiles in these simple moments. It's truly incredible." June 2nd, 2017. Told to me by a friend who had seen me in the depths of my despair to hearing my nonsense stories in the middle of the night when I was full of euphoria.
Hearing that made me think that maybe I, too, am one of these types of souls. Different from the average Joe. A tour guide of this new, blissful word. One to dance in the rain. One to stick her head out the window of the car with a dog whose ears are flapping in the wind and tongue sticking out. One to not let my battles define who I am or how I live.
If I had to give you one piece of advice, it would be to keep these kinds of people close. They are not broken, let me tell you. Broken is too clear-cut. They are still here. Not broken, but rather some of the strongest, bravest, most resilient, people out there.

find your happy, find your tribe
April 18th, 2017
"It's not often you find someone looking as happy as you look right now while grocery shopping. I appreciate it. Your smile is contagious."
Lately, I've been wrapped up in this whirlpool of fantasies.
The kind of fantasy where time slows down yet your mind is racing, darting around like a hummingbird. But then, at the same time, your entire body remains completely calm and serene. It's the most charming type of dreaming. Here I am, smiling like a fool in the grocery store trying to pick up some sweet potatoes. Taking risks for an extra dose of joy. Exploring life for the sole purpose of fulfillment. Authentic, heart pounding fulfillment. The kind of fantasy where time slows down yet your mind is racing, darting around like a hummingbird.
I've never been one to really take risks or jump into new and daunting tasks. But the thing about being so wrapped up in fantasies is that my eyes have been opened to the new, incredible things that happen when you do just so. I've found myself spontaneously acting upon those butterflies in my stomach at 1 am while I'm lost in the depth of my emotions. Learning more about myself at the peak hours of the morning or the darkest times of the night. Stepping outside of my comfort zone and growing, thriving, living. Learning to stop fearing the unknown and grasping onto the concept of becoming uncomfortable in order to find comfort.
It's funny to think about how just a few months ago I remember sitting in a grey sectional grabbing onto a pillow for dear life, not thinking I would ever make it to where I am now. Absolutely distraught by the mess that my life had become, stuck in my own fears and doubts.
Yet here I am.
I know for a fact I would never have made it this far without the incredible people I have met along the way.
On February 10th, I was sat down in that very grey sectional, looked at in the eyes and was told, "Please, speak up for yourself. Please treat yourself like gold. You are not something to be forgotten. You are not something to be tossed to the side of the road".
One of the best things you could ever do for yourself is to fill your life with those who believe in you. Truly, genuinely, believe in you. Those who look at you when you're speaking your passion and see the stars. Those who will lift you up when you're falling, no matter how hard you fall or how badly you refuse their help. Those who help you recognize your worth, who help you see that you, yes YOU, most definitely should be treated like gold. That you are undeniably NOT something to be chucked out a car window onto the side of the road.
Thank you to these people who have rescued me from myself in the past few months. Those who have helped me create these fantasies that hype my soul up enough to be found dancing in the grocery store.
This level of contentment and exploration of emotions is something I most definitely would not have gotten to without you all. So thank you. I will never stop thanking you.
{m, m, d, a, b, s, z, k, c, k, d, c, k, a, j}
mantras, reminders, self love
just a few simple mantras for you to tell yourself on the good days, the bad days, and everything in between. start every day off with something positive when you look at yourself in the mirror.
- You are hereby declared a strong, resilient warrior of heroic proportions. Enjoy your battles, whatever they are, because you are guaranteed to come through them stronger, brighter, and more compassionate.
- I choose to live a life of my fullest potential. I trust that this will draw me towards experiences and people that support my growth and accomplishment. Tuning into this frequency, I now reach higher heights than I ever thought possible.
- I believe in magic. I see evidence of it all the time. And though the tricks can probably explained in a sensible, rational way, I choose to not ruin the fun. I choose to believe in the magic.
- I am exactly where I need to be, exactly when I need to be here. There's nothing more I need to do because I am already here. I will take a deep breath, relax, and trust.
- I am a rare person. A precious one, too. My brilliance will be reflected back to me when I am paired with my true match. My ideal partners and working relationships are easy-going, free-flowing. I deserve greatness, because I AM GREATNESS.
Cheers to a good morning, a new day, a fresh start, and a hot cup of coffee

i will continue
"Your eyes are lacking that sparkle and cheer they had when I first met you." -january 21st
"You know, this is a fatal illness. And you're walking down a very narrow pathway." – january 23rd
I've always found comfort in the extremes. I've always like the idea of this peaceful mindset, happy and healthy life. The idea of going ice skating with my friends and walking around the mall and celebrating holidays freely. The idea of waking up in the morning with a smile and the sun shining through my window. Yet at the same time, there was something exhilarating about those two statement one of my doctors had said to me. This messed up idea of comfort. Being sick takes away the uncertainty. The fear. The real world fades away and suddenly you don't have to worry about a single thing. So full of emptiness. Something about being so sick just felt so right, like I was finally doing something right.
Well, let me tell you: If you've never craved the feeling of complete and utter emptiness, you won't ever fully understand why someone would pursue this mission to become empty. It's a feeling of accomplishment when nothing else is going right.
However, it comes to an end. And for me, January 25th marked the end of (hardly) surviving in this black and white world and beginning to travel to the gray area. The area filled with uncertainty, fear, doubt.
Today is March 10th. It's been 6 1/2 weeks. Every day is filled with constant decisions to stay on the right path. To be completely honest, it gets tiring waking up each morning knowing the hesitancy can creep back at any time.
However, each day I wake up stronger. Each day I fight that ambivalence, no matter how strong the desire the crawl back into the previous comfort that I had beforehand. Each morning I wake up, I acknowledge that uncertainty, that desire to go back to the ways things used to be. And slap it in the face.
Today marks one week of being back at home. 7 days. 10080 minutes spent choosing to continue. And it's been anything but easy. But I can already tell that the hard work I've put in these past 6 1/2 weeks are already paying off and cannot wait to see my life continue to unfold as I persist and fight. Today, I choose to keep going.
And that is not something I could have said back on january 23rd.
It's kind of funny, looking back to two years ago, knowing that I wrote about all 365 days I had spent being free from the hospitals-yet here I am, after breaking that streak, returning to a simple 7 days. But you know what? That's okay. Because this is only the beginning.
From here on out, I will flourish. I will thrive. I will grow and gain more and more hope as each day passes by, no matter what challenges may come my way.
I will continue.

Never set your alarm to your favorite song. That song will be ruined for the rest of your life. No questions asked. No exceptions.
start now
"But why not now?"
What even are these extravagant moments if they aren't remembered-or worse, if they never occurred because you always held back?
I was recently asked, "if you were handed a book about your life, would you skip til the very end to find out the biggest mystery life contains?"
Maybe your initial response is "fuck yes I would fast forward my way through season 6 to figure out who the Gossip Girl is before anyone else does"
Or maybe you are rereading your past chapters, laughing at younger self and the back-and-forth thoughts of whether you and Ryan Gosling would get married and whether the wedding would be on an all-inclusive island or in the most magnificent castle on Earth?
Or would you go through page by page, reading your story and absorbing the magic of your greatest adventures (whilst sipping your green tea on your yoga mat in your Lululemon to channel your inner yogi)?
Today, I sit here, soon to be moving onto a whole new road of my life; with the graduation of high school (T-82 days, not that I'm keeping track or anything) and soon to be celebrating another year of my life on this planet (23 days and I'm another year older yet still feel 5). At the beginning of a new year, at the beginning of hopefully pulling myself out from the deepest of trenches and up into the light, I am not going to wait another day to start. I will start here, where I am, scared, afraid, terrified, and all. Not fearing what the future has to hold, not regretting the past, just simply..being. I am moving page by page, moment by moment. Knowing that each day I fight through, my book of stories will only grow longer and longer so I can look back at all the wonderful things I have done.
Celebrate what you have in this very moment. Your future will come. Don't rush. Forgive. Live.
And hopefully many, many, many years down the road (because I will make it through the battles I face and long live the troubles) I will be pretty damn proud that I didn't wait, didn't hold back.
So start now, living each moment. Not fast forwarding into the future, not remaining stuck in the past – simply being right here, right now.
xoxo, maddy

I hear the words you say to me
I see the way you look at me
I know what's on your mind
So stand up, get up, back up now
Just stay away
I know the fear you hold inside
I know what's weighing on your mind
There's nothing you can do
So stand up, get up, back up
You're reaching out just to be like Me
But you've fallen short, sill you're following Me
You had the chance to bring me down
But there's nothing left, so just stay

On August 29th, 2016, the American Public Works Association named Westland City Hall, designed by OHM Advisors, a 2016 Project of the Year at an awards ceremony in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The new City Hall was redeveloped from a "ghost box," or a vacant big box store – a Circuit City that closed in 2009.
Westland Mayor William Wild called the renovated building, situated near Westland's shop and dine district "a game changer for the city" and credits the new City Hall with spurring $100 million in new private investment in the city since its opening late 2014.
Persistent flooding, crumbling walls and lack of space in the former City Hall led the City to purchase and renovate the closed big box store for $12.1 million. The project was funded with tax revenues generated by the city's Tax Increment Finance Authority.
The 64,000-square-foot building brings city departments like economic development, planning/building and Public Services under one roof. The new facility offers convenience for residents and businesses, as well as serving as a community resource.
The new City Hall includes meeting spaces, banquet facilities, and a public lounge area with work by local artists on display. Energy conscious features like large windows, motion triggered lights, a high-efficiency boiler and drought-resistant plantings "create a modern, energy-efficient City Hall that will service our community for generations to come," Wild said in a statement.
"The first thing we did was look at what the community input was. And we talked to the mayor, we talked to the council, about what was important to all of those folks," said Gary Sebach, Director of Architectural Design at OHM Advisors. "A lot of the design came from this idea of transparency and the connectivity with the community."

About the APWA Project of the Year Award
This award recognizes outstanding projects and firms representing the best in the public works profession. It was established to promote excellence in the management and administration of public works projects by recognizing the alliance between the managing agency, the consultant/architect/engineer, and the contractor who, working together, complete public works projects.

Favorite Posts in October/
So I do quite a bit of writing for this here Internet. It's how mama pays the bills. If you're interested, I'd love for you to check some out:
I Refuse to Raise a Bully
"Would you rather your kid be a bully or be bullied?" my friend asked a few years ago, back when our boys were still in diapers.
We grew up asking each other these kinds of questions — sprawled out in my childhood bedroom, arguing over the "Would You Rather" questions printed in that month's YM magazine — but now we're grown-ups. And this "Would You Rather" had a grown-up weight to it."
When an Attachment Parent Has to Detach
"It's no wonder I gravitate toward being an attachment parent; I'm an attachment person. I already told you that I have caretaker tendencies and codependency issues, and that's the other side of the "attachment parenting" coin. It's the side that leads to enmeshment and over-bonding — which isn't emotionally healthy for anyone involved. Except this side has a different label: Helicopter Mom, or Codependent Mom.
Whether we like it or not, our kids eventually need us to detach. And for those of us with attachment issues beyond an attachment philosophy, it can be seriously hard."
7 Reasons Halloween Is Way Better as New Parents
"#5. No more sexy costumes to squeeze into
Rather than worrying about our bare midriffs or super-short skirts (as we did) we're dressing up babies to look like little old men. On my first Halloween as a new mom, I was 23 years old. My Facebook feed was splashed with frat party photos and lace-up corsets and spandex animal costumes — while I spent my night with a cuddly little animal baby. It was nice to bring some innocence back to a sexed-up holiday. It was nice to remember why this holiday was fun to begin with."
I'm Done Focusing on How My Son "SHOULD" Be
"Daddy, can we fight tonight?" my 5-year-old boy bounces like a terrier, looking up at his towering dad.
It's the highlight of his day, really. Climbing up on the Big Bed, assuming a superhero identity and back-story, and facing off with kicks and jabs until my husband staggers to the floor in a humbling defeat, "You … got … me."
My little boy gets into the fighting. He's been deep in the Good Guy/Bad Guy playtime narrative for a few years now (his entire working memory), except the violence has taken a sharp turn upward.
His drawings are getting bloodier and more elaborate. His imaginary guns and bombs have become more detailed, and when he came home from kindergarten with a crayon-scribbled picture innocently including a school, children, and bombs, I thought, "Crap. I am seriously messing up here."
Kids Don't Need Internet Limits, They Need Internet Guidance
Our kids have the world at the click of a button. And while you can certainly argue the negatives and scary pitfalls of this strange new world — the desensitizing, the sensory overload, the addictive allure of a blinking screen — the bad always comes with the good. And with something as big and life changing as the Internet, the bad and the good are mega magnified.
Bottom line: The Internet and all of this technology are just tools. Tools that we created, and that we can and should control. Tools that can be used to share our stories, better understand the human condition, and learn about ideas and topics that would have been confined to a textbook only 20 years ago.
And so it's up to us — parents of digital kids — to teach the next generation how to live and thrive in this new environment. Whether we like it or not, our kids' future will be heavily reliant and driven by technology — even more than ours is. (At least we remember a life without this permeating technology; that won't be the case for our kids.) That's just reality.
So if we're trying to raise ethical, responsible, productive adults, we have to think about it in a tech-based context as well. And if we can? That just might change the world.
Hey, Kid, You Are the Boss of Your Body
"Excuse me, please! I have something to say: It's my birthday, and I'm tired of being pinched, noogied, hugged too tight, picked up, grabbed, tickled, and touched in ways that I don't like. I'm six years old and I'm the boss of my body!"
I read these words to my 5-year-old boy from the book "Miles is the Boss of His Body." Miles had endured a series of events that most kids, my son included, strongly relate to: an older brother gave him birthday noogies, an excited mother hugged him extra tight, a stranger rustled his hair, and a loving dad lifted him into the air. All harmless. All typical.
But Miles had a point: he is the boss of his body! If something doesn't feel good, he has a right to say no.
I looked over at my boy as I read the book, reading his face along with the story. How many times have I told him to give Grandma a kiss, when he really didn't want to? How many times have I grabbed and tickled him when he wanted to be left alone? Does he know that he can say "no"? And that other people can say "no" because we are all bosses of our bodies?
10 Signs You're Raising a Digital Native
Our kids might look and sound like ordinary children — they might enjoy apple picking, playing board games and reading picture books, just as you and I did as kids. But don't be fooled by their play-dough-crusted fingernails and chocolate-smeared cheeks. There's nothing ordinary about this newest generation of children.
In fact, these kids' lives are drastically different than any child ever in the history of the world.
These brand-new children are digital natives, meaning they were born into a world where flat screens and Google are completely normal, expected even. Social media is as pervasive and established as newspapers and cable TV, perhaps more so. The only world they know is a digital world — always buzzing, always clicking, always blinking.
Here are 10 sure signs that you're raising digital natives:
Young Moms Need Support, Not Shame
Shame reinforces the idea that there are "right" ways and "wrong" ways to be a mother or woman, and the fallacy that anything hard or challenging is bad.
Shame whispers that we're not good enough, and that our lives aren't worth supporting. Shame chips away at our motivation and keeps us in a perpetual state of discouragement and defensiveness. It also alienates young women, making us afraid to ask for help because what will people think of me?
Shame is so loud, so consuming, that it keeps us from hearing our true intuitive hearts. It keeps us from being the kind of mothers we could be. It fuels a cycle of insecurity and second-guessing, which ultimately hurts our children as much as it hurts ourselves.
20 Secrets of Motherhood
Psst. PSSSST. You there, with the tired eyes. I know those eyes; I've had those eyes.
I could spot a new mom anywhere (and it has nothing to do with that adorable babe strapped to your chest, swinging those baby moccasins). I actually recognize it from the inside out. I remember when everything was so new and confusing — the contentment and adoration and complete exhaustion?
Actually ... now that I'm back to a normal human sleep cycle and can think clearly, and now that I've gained a bit of perspective over the past six years, I could let you in on a few secrets. If you want.
No Baggage! And 9 Other Perks of Getting Married Really Young
"...Yet as life happened, I willingly signed a marriage certificate in 2008, with an 8-month-pregnant belly between us. I was 22 years old.
Six years later, I've had more than just my perspective shifted. I've grown and matured in so many ways—mostly because of things in and around my marriage. Yes, marriage is challenging and getting married at a young age sets us up for unique obstacles, but there are also little-known perks to entering marriage and adulthood roughly at the same time. It's not all bad decisions and dead ends."
Messy Finances! And 9 Other Challenges of Getting Married
"...That's not to say we haven't experienced real, unique challenges from getting married in our earliest moments of adulthood. To claim otherwise would be disingenuous, especially considering all life situations have perks and drawbacks. Turns out legally committing yourself to someone in your early 20s has some mountainous obtacles to navigate around, too.
For the sake of full disclosure, let's talk about the hard parts of getting married really young."
I also wrote a print feature for the October issue of Renew. It's a piece on children of addicts and children of codependents, and it was incredibly eye-opening to research and interview. If you have access to the magazine, it's worth a read.
Thank you for reading! XO

'Titanfall' is released this week around the world (its UK release date is 14 March, in case you're wondering).
In our preview last month we saw a game which felt thrillingly kinetic and fun to play, but was clearly also keeping back a lot of secrets for the full release.
So now the review embargo has broken, what do the big sites make of it?
Here's our pick of the early reviews:
GamesRadar (4/5)
"You'll be amazed by how much is going on at any given time on the screen. The online-only FPS takes mechanics from popular modern shooters and mixes in new ideas to make for something that looks absolutely astounding. You're not battling in the streets of empty cities, you're fighting alongside AI soldiers, piloting massive mechs, and shooting at enemy players that can tumble through windows and run up walls."
"Titanfall represents a potent fusion of established and modern design ideas, creating a tense and rewarding balance of power and moment-to-moment unpredictability. MOBA-like minions mix with traditional on-foot deathmatch, jetpack-powered locomotion, and giant-robot combat – each role playing its own part in the battle and coming with its own tactics and strategies – while the well-designed maps make the ideal weapons and loadout completely situational and dynamic."
Videogamer: (8/10)
"An evolution of the core Call of Duty concepts rather than a revolution for multiplayer shooters as a whole, Titanfall feels, in a way, like a hyper-budgeted mod that will only truly see its aims realised in the inevitable sequel. This is not necessarily a negative: it's a tremendously enjoyable game, and one that both expands upon, and strips back, some of the excesses of its spiritual predecessor."
Gamespot: (9/10)
"The overarching experience of playing Titanfall is one of rejuvenation and reinvigoration. The sprint speed, the arsenal, the game modes, and more are all firmly derived from some of the most successful online shooters of recent years. But by reinventing the way you move, Titanfall reinvents what it feels like to play a competitive shooter."
Daily Mirror: (4/5)
"Perversely for a game predicated on the presence of multi-story mechs, less is very much more. The small but perfectly tuned arsenal of weapons, upgrades and loadouts, for example, offers a smaller number of meaningful choices rather than overwhelming players with options."
Polygon: (9/10)
"Titanfall is the rare game that feels like it came out on top of the few compromises Respawn has had to make. Sliding the spectacle and holy shit moments of an epic campaign among bold, fast multiplayer that steals unlikely elements, Respawn has made them shine like they belonged there all along. Titanfall may not mark the same kind of sea change that Modern Warfare started but the pieces are all there in a game that delivers on its potential as the next big thing"

LIers of other faiths break fast with Muslims during Ramadan
Deep within the Islamic Center of Long Island in Westbury, about 100 people of various faiths and ethnicities gathered to learn about one another's cultures last night.
"You will find every color that God has created in that room," said Isma Chaudhry, Islamic center president, of the annual interfaith event that includes a program and an iftar, or breaking of the daily fast during the month of Ramadan.
The celebration is "close to my heart," Chaudhry said.
At exactly 8:33 p.m., those gathered for the 12th annual celebration at the center nibbled on dates and nuts and dug into plates piled high with rice, chickpeas, kebabs, naan and mango mousse.
"Right when you break your fast, it's tradition to eat a date," said Shahla Partowmah, 19, of Westbury, who works in the center's front office.
Chaudhry said the event is an opportunity for those of different faiths to share what is on their minds.
For many, that was last month's shooting of nine people at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
After reciting the opening verse of the Quran, Chaudhry began the evening with a moment of silence for the nine victims of the shooting.
"Think about what drives hate: phobia," she said.
Steven Markowitz, chairman of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, who has attended the celebration for about 10 years, said that those gathered at the interfaith service reflected "the changing face of Long Island."
"Every day it becomes more and more diverse," Markowitz said.
Ibrahim Negm, an Islamic center adviser, summarized five verses of the Quran. One emphasized that although people have differences, they have "staggering commonalities." Another emphasized the need for people to work together for a better world.
"At this very moment we are pleasing God," he told those gathered. "We are fulfilling his vision."
DuWayne Gregory, presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, said: "We have to come together hand in hand, push past the hatred, and be what America can be."
Town of Hempstead Supervisor Judy Bosworth said, as a child of Holocaust survivors, she understood the need for people of different faiths to come together.
"As we stand together, we're strong and we counter those who want to divide us," she said.
Observant Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan, which commemorates when the prophet Muhammad received the Quran, the holiest book in Islam, from the angel Gabriel in the year 610.
This year, Ramadan began on June 17 or 18, depending upon how the faithful determine when the new moon appeared, and lasts until July 17.
During Ramadan, Muslims go to bed around midnight, after the last prayer of the day, and rise at about 3 a.m. so they can have a light breakfast before dawn and say the first prayer of the new day.
From then until about 8:30 p.m., they do not eat or even drink water.
Police said the Charleston shooter, Dylann Roof, 21, spewed racist invective as he shot the nine people at a midweek Bible study. He has been charged with nine counts of murder and is being held on $1 million bail.

How can I tell what model these are ?
How can I tell what model these are ?
[QUOTE=Kiwi_rsvr;113908]How can I tell what model these are ?
Cant be exactly sure, but definately 99-03 model.
Trying to find spares but they dont seem to be listed anywhere any more, they dont seem to be correct for the RSV-R variant though ?
They don't look like the Ohlins on my 2000 RSVR, are you sure they aren't the standard Showa forks?
If i remember correctly the type of the fork is stamped to the bracket holding the brake caliber.
the ohlins forks have a serial number stamped on the fork foot - ask for a pic of the foot and if its not ally then its re-anodised showa's (they are black cast). You can't tell from a pic of the top.
edited: Jussi beat me to it
From the photo's kiwi, the fork caps and adjusters appear to be Showa.
Ohlins forks are 51mm diameter, Showa are 53mm
Last edited by LEGS; September 15th, 2009 at 05:32 AM.
I didnt think Showa's came in gold ?, the bottoms are coloured silver gray and have Ohlins stickers (that dont mean too much tho).
Ohlins tubes with Showa internals ??
Does this help ?
Last edited by Kiwi_rsvr; September 15th, 2009 at 06:08 AM.
Kiwi, for reference here's 2 photo's of my 2002 RSVR Ohlins. Your fork bottoms look to be RSV Mille Showa's
Last edited by LEGS; September 15th, 2009 at 07:06 AM.
Kiwi, my opinion is that they are reworked showas - the fork bottom looks like its been cleaned up to that colour or powder coated that colour, then they've had the tubes NiTri'd and the stantions re-anodised. I'm pretty sure showa tubes and ohlins stantions are not compatible or vice versa(diametres are different). I stand to be corrected though.
Cheers Guy's , not sure where to go next or what else i'll find that's been bastardised.
Guess I need to look at Showa for spare parts then ?
I tell you what if ever I come across the previous owner I'm gonna break his nose !!, oh and never ever buy anything from those tossers at Viva Moto
The later Showa's on the Falco's came in gold. This was jsut before Aprilia switched to marzocchi forks.
So this could very well be an OEM gold showa
If the forks were quality reworked it doesnt have to be a bad thing, athough showas are harder to adjust(have less fine-tunning options), but if the previous owner also changed the internals you will get the same forks or better than ohlins oem and you get cheaper maintnance.
I need to positively identify them so as I can get some springs and replace the damaged adjusters.........................but as with everything on this pissing bike its not straightforward
Why gues.. Get Griff, he probably seen a lot of them
As said im quite sure they are the later gold colored showa's.
It hink this means you can use parts from one of the many sets of black showa forks for sale on ebay regularly.
The ones in the link BTW are for 40mm brake claiper mounting point. The showa's and ohlins are 60mm
measure the fork uppers - Ohlins are 51mm and Showas 53mm I think ?! (but deffo bigger than ohlins. You going for uprated springs? fork caps looked ok?!
Now if those are as I suspect re-worked showas then I reckon whoever did that would've put aftermarket springs in as well (TiNi coating is about 150 notes to get it done and anodizing probably 100notes) I reckon he's spent some money on the forks.

yep ohlins 51mm showa 53mm

Suspected drug hit men dump head in Mexican city | International | Reuters
Hmm. We had a slight break in the beheading trend there for a few months, now it's back in a big way. This report also includes a bonus crime: two wounded men in a hospital are shot dead there. That is at least the second occurance of finishing-off-the-drug-killing-in-the-hospital reported here at Blog of the Gods.
MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - Suspected Mexican drug hit men dumped the head of a murdered man on top of a car in the street, police said on Friday, in a rare outrage in the wealthy city of Monterrey.
The head, found on Thursday night on the roof of a car parked in a middle-class residential area, had a written message next to it signed by the Gulf cartel, the country's most violent drug organization.
The ears were chopped off, a senior state police officer told reporters on condition of anonymity.
Mexican drug gangs, engaged in a bitter fight with each other and security forces, behead opponents to scare rivals, but this was the first such decapitation in Monterrey, home to large corporations and a wealthy business elite.
The message, written on cardboard or paper, suggested the victim may have been a common criminal who had passed himself off as a member of the Gulf cartel's feared Zetas hit squad.
"This is what happens to people who want to pass for Zetas," the message read, according to El Norte newspaper. The man's body has not been found, police sources said.
In Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico, gunmen dressed as federal investigative agents forced their way into a city prison and freed six inmates on Friday, the state attorney general's office said.
The inmates were arrested in March, accused of working for the Zetas, Mexican media said.
Also on Friday in Ciudad Juarez across the border from El Paso, Texas, drug hit men killed two rivals in a hospital near the city's main military base, police and doctors said.
The gunmen entered the private Hospital Juarez and shot the men in the waiting room in front of doctors and nurses. The two men had brought in two seriously wounded partners, fleeing from a gun battle.
"It happened at 2.30 a.m. and we called the police, but no one came until 7 in the morning," said a hospital nurse who declined to be named.
President Felipe Calderon has sent 25,000 troops and federal police to fight cartels across Mexico since 2006 -- including 2,500 troops to Ciudad Juarez in March and more than 2,700 this week to Sinaloa, the home state of kingpin Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, Mexico's most wanted man.
Despite those efforts, six high-ranking police officers were killed in the past two weeks. Drug violence has killed more than 1,100 people in Mexico this year.

Just when was the final time you felt just like a celebrity whenever you remained at some hotels? Have you pay a lot of money for that treatment or could it have been something which employees presented to everybody? Have you have trouble getting whatever you requested for? When you needed assistance could it have been open to you or could it have been something needed to go to check out? Some individuals don't really think hard about how exactly these were treated throughout their stay, you are very likely to acquire the best service possible every time.
Simply because you aren't a high profile spending a lot of money does not mean that you're not well worth the 5 star treatments. The mere fact you have selected to remain at these establishments ought to be enough. It does not matter if you are considering remaining just for a night or several, you have to start being more selective about the selection of accommodations. Obviously, you cannot place all the responsibility around the establishments. A lot of it falls for you. Should you become more thorough during your search and begin having to pay focus on the ratings and reviews these places receive, you can really steer obvious from the locations that don't value their visitors around they ought to. The easiest method to improve how you are given any company would be to not provide them with the posh of the attention. If you do not remain at hotels that do not compare well where they should be, they will begin to make enhancements to enable them to better accommodate their visitors.
There are many ways to get a great consider the hotels prior to you making a reservation. If they're close to where you reside, you can go and have a personal tour. If they're not nearby, the following best factor is to work with the web to check out pictures and virtual around their facilities. It's also wise to consider the reviews of others and also the ratings which are supplied by a few of the top travel websites. Both of these things alone might help a novice traveler discover what the greater establishments are and whether they would enjoy remaining their way.
While there's an abundance of hotels, you need to know that does not everybody can suit your needs every time you choose to travel. For instance, if you're with limited funds and wish to stay where there's exceptional room service along with other amenities, you might want to become more flexible inside your budget. You'll be able to get reduced prices, but you need to also recognize when you're sacrificing quality and amenities to obtain that cheap rate. Finding out how to shop to find the best hotels but still make the most competitive rates is really a skill that you ought to take time to understand.

SHEFFIELD COUNCIL has defended its decision not to play a part in the first ever Tour de Yorkshire.
The local authority faced questions after it failed to appear on the list of start and finish locations for the three-day race, designed to provide a lasting legacy of this summer's Grand Départ.
Bridlington, Leeds, Scarborough, Selby, Wakefield and York were named as key locations for the event, which takes place in May next year.
Sheffield leaders confirmed it had not expressed interest in hosting the international race, despite findings from a recent report which suggested its staging of the Tour de France had generated around £10m for the city.
Coun Isobel Bowler, cabinet member for culture, said: "I can confirm that Sheffield did not submit a bid to be included in next year's Tour de Yorkshire. After this year's hugely successful Grand Départ Stage 2 finish in Sheffield, we believed it only fair to allow other towns in the region that were unable to host the Tour this year should be able to welcome the new event in 2015.
"We will be building on the cycling legacy created by hosting the world's greatest annual sporting event and we wish the new race every success next year."
Precise route details for the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire will be revealed on January 21.
The new event, which is approved by governing body the UCI, will be run by Welcome to Yorkshire and Amaury Sport Organisation, which operates the Tour de France.
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "I am confident it will become a huge annual event and something that will raise our profile year on year."
