Responsive Web Design is hard. Really hard, actually. But I've recently been exploring ways to make it fit more neatly into my development workflow, and I thought it'd be worth sharing what I've learned. I don't have all the answers, but I am finally to a point where Responsive feels worth the extra effort — and for me, that's saying something.
Media queries vs. Javascript breakpoints
Although CSS media queries get all the love in design circles, I've been experimenting with using Javascript to manage the breakpoints in a responsive or adaptive layout, as well. There are definitely pros and cons to both approaches.
If you use Javascript, it's trivial to set up a configuration where only the CSS which is needed for a particular viewport width is downloaded (Adapt.js does this very well). With media queries, the visitor is going to be downloading the CSS for every viewport width, even if they don't need it. There's trade-off here between HTTP requests (Javascript introduces more) and size of CSS files (media queries create larger ones). I haven't really decided which end of that stick I prefer.
Another advantage I've observed to using Javascript is maintaining breakpoints in a single place. More and more, I've found that I not only need different CSS per-breakpoint, but also different Javascript. For example, maybe I have a navigation menu across the top of my page, and on smaller screens, I've decided to pull those options into a
select menu. That
select menu needs Javascript to operate properly, and I'd really prefer to not have that Javascript loading for visitors on larger screens. So, I need to set up my breakpoints not only for CSS, but for Javascript, as well. If I need the breakpoints for Javascript anyway, maybe I should just maintain them there, and let Javascript load the per-breakpoint CSS.
In the end, I haven't really settled on which approach is better. I've been doing more work with media queries lately, though, and the reason is primarily that Sass has some really sweet tricks up its sleeve that make my life easier if I take this approach (more on this later).
Fluid, relative-width grids
I resisted fluid layouts for a long time, and I'm still not sold on them being the right answer in every case. I still think there's something to be said for the approach in which you have several fixed-width layouts (one for each breakpoint). But, I have been trying to add fluid methodology to my toolbox, as well, and to that end, I created a grid system based on relative widths.
You can see what I came up with on GitHub (note that this is part of a larger CSS framework I'm working on, and it's really not ready for primetime). It's fairly simple, and quite flexible. It allows for CSS layouts that look like this (Sass code, of course):
One of the big keys to making this work so simply was embracing
box-sizing: border-box;. I've actually gone so far as to set
* { box-sizing: border-box; } in my initial CSS reset.
Sass media query bubbling
Sass has an absolutely killer feature called @media bubbling. In short, it allows you to nest your
@media statements directly inside the CSS for the element that is going to change based on the result of the media query, like this:
In my mind, this makes media queries so much easier to maintain and organize. Love this feature — especially when it's combined with…
Sass 3.2 @content directive for media query mixins
Sass 3.2 (which isn't out yet, but you can
gem install sass --pre to use the alpha version) has a super handy new feature for mixins: the
@content directive. It basically allows you to pass a content block (i.e. lines of CSS) into a mixin like an argument. After seeing a similar idea in this article by Mason Wendell, I was able to use this feature to create a super-handy media query mixin that I called
respond-to. It, too, is available for your perusal on GitHub. This made it really simple to apply different CSS based on anything a media query can handle (but notably, viewport width):
Obviously, you can just add more
respond-to mixins for whatever breakpoints you are targeting. Super simple. Super readable. Super easy to maintain.
Responsive Web Design is hard. I don't pretend to have all the answers. But, clever use of the tools available to us can make it a much easier pill to swallow. I've found that a combination of embracing fluid layouts, taking advantage of a few great features in Sass, and a bit of patience has finally made Responsive Web Design something other than a constant struggle.
Good work Jeff. Really intrigued by the @media bubbling. Being a LESS man myself, I did a quick search and found: https://github.com/cloudhead/les…, which I think is the same thing.
What would be really nice, which I'm not sure LESS/SASS have in their arsenal yet, is the ability to change CSS based on a single item's size, rather than always the viewport. For example:
.foo { (max-width=500px) { this; } (min-width=501px) {that; } }
I think we could really have the power to refine with that.
Hey Kev! It does look like that LESS feature is the same as the Sass one. That's great. Glad to hear they're adding it.
Your feature request would be sweet, but I'm not sure how it could be done outside the browser. The "single item's size" you refer to is calculated by the browser, and Sass/LESS can't possibly know it ahead of time, I don't think. Granted, in the case of everything being done in an absolute measurement like pixels, they might be able to work it out, but as soon as you introduce percentages and ems, I don't think they could. But I could definitely be wrong about that. :)
No, you're quite right. LESS/SASS can - of course - only pimp what is already available to them in the spec. My thinking is that until it is actually part of the CSS spec itself in some form, then it can't then be taken by LESS/SASS and improved / simplified.
I don't see why this feature couldn't be a possibility, but then are we crossing over into JavaScript territory? But, then again, is that a bad thing? I've often thought an evolved CSS (possibly no longer called CSS) would be a good thing. We're plugging holes with JS all the time, doesn't that tell us we need a new some-what unified language? One where we can target any element on page regardless of it's relationship to another ('before' another for example, rather then merely 'after' or 'in')?
Anyway. Straying slightly off point. Good thinking on the above. I have a rather hefty project that is currently adaptive, and some of the ideas you've shared could well be the answer to making things more manageable. Ta.
A bigger problem at the top alongside break points are the features supported by the targeted device we are chasing for in our projects.
There are still many issues with features implemented on the Windows Phone 7.5 (
Modernizr.touch == false`) along with many other Mobile Browsers on the market that don't support
device-width for detection. The
max-device-widthdoesn't change for some when the device is rotated. On an iPhone, for example, the
device-widthis 320px and the device height is 480px regardless of its rotation. Orientation tests only test the initial orientation, because it's not bound to a rotation or re-size event. The Windows 8 tablet with IE10 (1366x768) actually supports touch events in both its tablet mode and on IE10 desktop.
I've been using EnhanceJS by Filament and found that to be a really great start to the idea of conditionally loading resources. I think cramming
@media querieswithin one style sheet for large sites is not the best approach performance wise because we're still giving the device css/js that will not be used basically giving bloat to our style sheet. hmmm….back to
view sourceon the Globe for more inspiration.
Really interesting stuff - thanks Jeff.
To achieve (more or less) what Kev is talking about in his first comment, I've been using this small JS script. It's still reasonably experimental, but when I was at Clearleft we used it on a number of client sites with some success.
We are working much the same way, there seems to be some convergence of coding practices in this field - about time! :P
Just wanted to point out that you do not need JavaScript to load stylesheets on demand, try something like . Also note that the stylesheet will have to be quite large before 2 smaller requests is better than 1 big (especially on mobile).
Ahoi there, it stripped my markup. Try using a media query when specifying the stylesheet in the head, something like link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-device-width: 768px)"
Great article. We've been building a responsive "framework" of sorts at work, and seeing some of this has been helpful.
Our current solution leverages require.js for loading resources on demand, and namely relying on Modernizr and the matchMedia polyfill to pick the right resources. We have yet to tackle dynamically loading CSS simply because there's not a reliable way of knowing when its actually loaded like there is with js files, and certain application code may rely in some way on the right CSS being present.
I'm still skeptical about the usefulness of RWD, even more so after working on this framework. There's not enough native support for working with media (images, video, etc) which means RWD is still best suited for content heavy sites.
Jeff, nice stuff here. Thanks for sharing.
Kev, I needed something like what you're talking about recently, and I wrote up this script…I'm sure it's not bulletproof, but worked for what I needed. Allows you to query a css property on an element, and then run certain JS on whether it passed or failed. I was using it mainly in the exact manner you described, which was to test min-width or max-width, in lieu of a media query
Jeff L and Andy: Thanks for those. I'll definitely bookmark them for future reference.
Great work Jeff. It is very hard to design a responsive website. To tell you the truth I have never a never attempted to design a responsive site. But after reading your article I will defiantly have a go.

The Help
Budding journalist stirs up her hometown writing about white socialites and their black maids
Neil Pond
American Profile
August 24, 2011
3045 views
1 comment
Starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis & Bryce Dallas Howard
Directed by Tate Taylor
137 minutes, rated PG-13
A strong female cast anchors the drama, the laughter and the tears of "The Help," about the intertwined lives of white and black Southern women in early days of the 1960s civil rights movement.
The best-selling 2009 book on which the movie was based, by Mississippi native Kathryn Stockett, created a buzz of controversy with its racially charged story of a fictionalized group of well-to-do Southern socialities and the black maids who do their cooking, clean their homes and raise their babies.
Director Tate Taylor (another native Southerner) gets the details right in the look and feel of the times, due in no small part to the movie's on-location filming in and around Jackson, Miss., where Stockett's story was based--and where both the writer and the director grew up. It's obvious this story springs from a place, geographically as well as emotionally, that the people telling it know well.
The plot revolves Skeeter (Emma Watson), an aspiring journalist back home after college graduation, who wants to interview two local black maids, Abilene (Viola Davis) and Minnie (Octavia Spencer), about what it's like to be "the help" for the town's well-heeled white women.
As you might expect, Skeeter's project stirs things up on both side of the town's well-defined racial dividing line.
Viola Davis gives an Oscar-worthy performance as the long-suffering Abilene, but the rest of the cast is also uniformly sturdy. Bryce Dallas Howard sizzles in every scene in which she appears as Skeeter's childhood friend, Hilly, who never realizes the toxicity of her deeply engrained racism.
Allison Janney is superb as Skeeter's cancer-afflicted mother, Charlotte, a regal daughter of the South caught between the region's culture and the nation's civil-rights cause for which her daughter's writing will become an agent of change. Sissy Spacek has a feisty turn as a go-get-'em grandma.
But the movie's clear audience favorite is Octavia Spencer. As the culinarily gifted Minnie, she gets plenty of zinger lines and launches the movie's pivotal get-even gag involving a chocolate pie with a disgustingly appropriate surprise ingredient.
Millions of readers who lapped up--and loved--the book may nitpick about what the movie leaves out, tweaks or shortchanges, but it's hard to believe they'll depart disappointed. "The Help" is a robust piece of storytelling, an emotional fountain of fiercely good, fem-centric ensemble acting, and a refreshing change of pace from the summer run of raunchy romantic comedies and bulked-up superheroes.
For a lot of viewers, I suspect, the only "help" they'll want as the credits roll is for someone to hand them a hankie before the lights come up.

Teeth that have been affected by tooth decay (caries or cavities) might require a filling or other treatment. Advances in dental materials and techniques provide new, effective ways to restore teeth.
There are several different types of restorations, including:
Direct restorations - require a single visit to place a filling directly into a prepared cavity. Materials used for these filings include dental amalgam, also known as silver fillings; glass ionomers; resin ionomers; and composite (resin) fillings. Amalgam fillings have been used for decades, and have been tested for safety and resistance to wear. Dentists have found amalgams to be safe, reliable, and effective for restorations. Glass ionomers are tooth-colored materials made from fine glass powders and acrylic acids. These are used in small fillings that do not have to withstand heavy pressure from chewing. Resin ionomers are made from glass with acrylic acids and acrylic resin. Both of these types of glass ionomers chemically bond to the mineral in the tooth.
Composites are tooth-colored materials made from acrylic resin filled with tiny glass or quartz particles. Composites are more aesthetic, stronger, and more durable than glass ionomers and can be used on biting surfaces. They are bonded to the tooth.
Indirect restorations. These require two or more visits and include inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, and bridges. These are constructed with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics, or composites. At the first visit, a dentist will prepare the tooth and make an impression of the area that will be restored. At the second visit, the dentist will place the new restoration into the prepared area. Some offices use newer technology called CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) that allows them to produce the indirect restoration in the office and deliver it at the same appointment, saving the patient a return visit.
For an indirect restoration, a dentist may use an all-porcelain, or ceramic, application. This material looks like natural tooth enamel in color and translucency. Another type of indirect restoration may use porcelain that is fused to metal, which provides additional strength. Gold alloys are used often for crowns or inlays and onlays. Less expensive alternatives to gold are base metal alloys that can be used in crowns and are resistant to corrosion and fracture. Indirect composites are similar to those used for fillings and are tooth-colored, but they are not as strong as ceramic or metal restorations.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking nifedipine?
You should not use nifedipine if you are allergic to it.
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests:
- kidney disease;
- liver disease (especially cirrhosis);
- coronary artery disease;
- congestive heart failure; or
- digestive problems.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether nifedipine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication..
Nifedipine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take nifedipine?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Take the Adalat CC tablet on an empty stomach.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
Some tablet forms of nifedipine are made with a shell that is not absorbed or melted in the body. Part of the tablet shell may appear in your stool. This is a normal side effect of nifedipine and will not make the medication less effective.
Call your doctor if you have ongoing vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. These conditions can lead to severely low blood pressure.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using nifedipine. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Do not stop taking nifedipine without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel fine. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.

Investigators are waiting for toxicology reports to confirm whether alcohol or drugs may have been involved in an attempted murder and suicide Saturday in Lanier County.
Investigators say a father shot his daughter and wife, who survived, before he killed himself.
"It was a sight I pray that nobody ever sees," said neighbor Sarah Moyer.
Moyer lives across the street from the Flynn family. Lanier County investigators say Saturday afternoon 50-year-old Mark Flynn shot his wife, 33-year-old Kathy Flynn, and their 5-year-old daughter at their home on Eleanor Place. Flynn then shot and killed himself. Moyer says she ran to the family's home after Kathy yelled for her to help save her daughter.
"She asked me to hold her, and I held her. And I covered where she had been shot and I tired to keep as calm as I could. I just told her to hold on," said Moyer.
Investigators believe an argument escalated into the shooting and drugs and alcohol may have been involved. Deputies also say they don't believe Flynn intended to shoot his daughter. Moyer says she never saw this coming.
"You knew how much they loved each other, you really could see it," said Moyer.
The family's vehicles are still parked in the driveway; officials say the mother and the daughter are in the hospital, and they are expected to survive.
Moyer says she spoke with the little girl on the phone from her hospital room and she remembered Moyer telling her she would buy her pink and purple flowers as she held her on that tragic day.
"Such an incredibly strong little girl, I don't even know if an adult could fight the way that little girl did," said Moyer.
The wife who was shot multiple times is in fair condition at South Georgia Medical Center. The little girl is recovering at Shands Hospital in Gainesville.
GBI agents are leading the investigation.
Investigators say it may take a few weeks for the toxicology report to be completed.

State police have arrested 30-year-old Jermaine Richards, of Bridgeport, in connection with the death of missing Eastern Connecticut State University student Alyssiah Wiley.
Richards turned himself into Troop G Saturday afternoon.
Richards is currently being held on $2 million bond and is scheduled to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court on Monday.
The remains found in a wooded area in Trumbull on Friday were identified as Wiley.
Investigators said the discovery was made along Quarry Road around 10 a.m. Friday after a search by troopers and K-9s.
"State police cadaver dogs did an alert on what appeared to be human remains," state police Lt. Paul Vance said.
Wiley, 20, hasn't been seen since April 20 when she said she was going home to West Haven for the weekend. However, she wasn't reported missing until days later when she failed to return to campus.
State police contacted Wiley's family Friday to let them know what they found.
State police were also searching a reservoir Friday in Meriden near Hubbard Park and an area near ECSU in Williamantic where Wiley was reported missing.
The Office of the Chief State's Medical Examiner was called to the scene off Quarry Road to determine the cause and manner of death.
The discovery is being treated as criminal in nature and remains under investigation by state police.
Police said the remains were found on a vacant land owned by a private party, so they spent a good part of the day securing permission.

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - With the election still 14 months away, Governor Rick Snyder, who hasn't even formally declared he is a candidate yet, is running his first campaign ad today in several major markets in Michigan. It's a 60-second version of the 5 minute film he ran at the Republican confab on Mackinac Island last weekend and opens with Snyder saying he has a nerdy job but someone has to do it.
Zach Pohl on the campaign staff of Democratic Challenger Mark Schauer says it's a sign the Governor is running scared and desperate to repair the damage done to his own poll numbers. Pohl contends an incumbent governor has never gone on television here with political ads more than a year before an election.
Snyder is reportedly spending more than half a million on this first ad blitz. It could be a sign of a lot of things including that Snyder has a lot of money to spend, he wants to dissuade the tea party from putting up a challenger, or he wants to try to improve his numbers when its easier to do so and no one else is running ads.

Play me a song, Paris! Hilton heiress hitting the decks at Cavalli Club Dubai
Paris Hilton is pretty much circumnavigating the globe it seems. The hotel chain heiress shmoozing her way through Shanghai this week will be making her way to Dubai next week for a December 1st to remember.
This is not the TV personality's first time in the region. Two years ago, she set out on television endeavor to find a new best friend in the Middle East. "Paris Hilton's Dubai BFF" became an installation of the "My New BFF" reality show airing on MTV in several countries.
So for UAE residents curious what a loaded socialite's musical collection looks like, head over to Cavalli Club in Dubai on Sunday as Paris plays DJ for the night.
No novice to hitting the decks, Paris actually spent a summer playing DJ at a club in Ibiza and took her collection on air of the Ellen show.
What ecclectic career move the model will come up with next, we can't even guess.
Will you be there? Please keep us updated in the comment box below if you Cavalli it up with Paris next week!

page 3 - 2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster vs. 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
Two high-buck convertibles and 24 hours to burn. We exercise them on road and track.
By February 5, 2010 / Photos by John Lamm
The Racetrack
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is a mystical place tucked within the picturesque hills on the road to Salinas; a racetrack with a rich history. It's home to the Corkscrew, perhaps the most famous "S" turn in the world. And having the entire track all to ourselves on a cool clear morning with an and Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG at our disposal was definitely a sign that someone up there liked us. At first light, we unleashed the cars on the track, gaining an insightful perspective on how they behaved at their respective limits.
The athlete here was the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster; it was light on its feet, and while it didn't provide the powerful punch of the M-B, it felt more nimble through left/right transitions and faster around tight corners. The car's steering was communicative, quick and precise. And anytime the rear end slid out, a quick flick of the steering wheel usually got the car back in shape. The car's overall structure felt rigid, and the suspensionupper and lower A-arms at both front and rear with Bilstein shock absorbersdid a commendable job of keeping body roll minimal. The brake pedal felt a bit soft after a few laps, but the car's overall handling balance was exceptional. It registered 0.95g on the skidpad and ran through the slalom at 72.5 mph.
Although the handling figures didn't match the Vantage Roadster's, they were impressive nonetheless. It pulled 0.89g around the skidpad and reached 66.6 mph through the slalom. Despite the car's sticky Bridgestone Potenza tires and flat cornering character provided by its rigid body structure and high-tech suspensiona 4-link setup in front and a multilink at the rearequipped with Active Body Control (ABC), the M-B's bulk proved to be its Achilles' Heel. Simply put, it took more effort to negotiate the track's trickier turns. Its steering felt a tad slower than the Aston Martin's and exhibited a bit more understeer at turn-in. However, the SL63 AMG made up ground on the straights, thanks to its forceful engine and powerful brakes. But as far as thrill factors go, the had the clear edge.
"Prior to tearing around the track, I envisioned I would prefer the Mercedes on track," said Monticello. "But I ended up spending a few laps just trying to get used to the car's slow steering and numb overall feelI attribute the latter to the car's ABC active suspension. In theory, the fact the car exhibits basically zero body roll should be a good thing, but in reality it's unnerving because there's so little feedback. The Aston possessed precise handling and great steering. Plus, flat-out racetrack running hides the flaws of its single-clutch gearbox, as full-throttle upshifts are what it does best."
Our allotted time on the racetrack went by in a blur and we hurried to our next stop, the former site of the Pebble Beach Road Races, which are now secluded narrow roads near 17-Mile Drive (see sidebar).
The Bottom Line
The base price of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster comes in at $136,450, which means to drive one of these, you either need to be wealthy, a super spy, or better yet, an automotive journalist. You can add rich international villain to the list when talking about the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and its $135,000 base price (bad guys always drive Mercedes-Benzes in the movies). Despite their close price tags and similar overall nature, they are quite different in spirit, as we discovered on our whirlwind trip up and down the Pacific coastline. The Aston Martin is sexier and lighter, while the is more powerful and stable. Monticello and I agreed that the SL63 AMG offers more in terms of technology and luxury, prompting us to choose it as the car we preferred to take home (see In My Opinion). Speaking of home, we returned to our Newport Beach office 10 minutes ahead of our 3 p.m. deadline...more than enough time to take these cars for one last romp around the block.

Lillian (Lilka) Bielski (nee Ticktin) was born in Bialystok, Poland. She grew up in a privileged home with one older brother and attended Jewish schools.
Lillian's mother died prior to war and her father remarried. Together with her father and stepmother she was forced to live in the ghetto in Lida, Belarus. However, they later escaped to woods to join the Bielski Otriad, a Jewish partisan group. The group was led by Tuvia Bielski.
During the time they were hiding in the woods, Lillian married Tuvia. The Bielski Otriad remained in the woods until they were liberated by the Russians in the summer of 1944. 1250 otriad members survived.
After perilous journey to Romania, Lillian and Tuvia emigrated to Israel. They arrived in the United States in 1956.

Wolves may face FA fine as four pitch invasions overshadow 6-4 victory over Rotherham
Wolves face the prospect of a fine from the FA after four pitch invasions marred an amazing 10-goal thriller against Rotherham.
Home fans flooded onto the pitch three times in the closing minutes after Sam Ricketts made it 5-4 and then at the final whistle.
The first invasion came as captain Ricketts gave Wolves the lead:
Hundreds of fans from the South Bank storm onto the pitch to celebrate. But they're getting off pretty quickly.— Tim Nash (@TimNash_star) April 18, 2014
It was followed by a second invasion when Michael Jacobs hit a shot into the side netting:
Jacobs shot hits the sidenetting and there's another mini pitch invasion. The rest of the South Bank let them know what they think of them.— Tim Nash (@TimNash_star) April 18, 2014
Two more pitch invasions followed when Kevin McDonald scored Wolves' sixth goal and again at full-time.
Wolves will now face an anxious wait to see if they are punished by the football authorities.
The club has condemned the actions of fans who invaded the pitch.
Wolves said, in a statement on the club's website: "Wolves, in the strongest possible terms, have today condemned the pitch incursions from some Wolves fans, which marred the club's 6-4 victory over Rotherham United.
"Equally, Wolves would like to thank the vast majority of supporters who stayed off the pitch, and for voicing their disapproval at the minority who chose to enter onto the field of play towards the end of the game, and after the final whistle.
"The minority of supporters have marred a classic game, played in a competitive spirit, and prevented the Wolves players from celebrating with the majority of home supporters in the stadium.
"The reality is that the referee was, understandably, close to abandoning the fixture, which would have nullified a tremendous victory.
"The club now awaits an inevitable follow-up from the Football Association.
"Wolves would like to thank Rotherham United, and their supporters, for their understanding. We wish them the best for the rest of their campaign."
In 2011, Birmingham City were fined £20,000 for a pitch invasion during a League Cup game against rivals Aston Villa.

Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
The Little Black Tucson! by Paul on 02/22/2010. Trim: 2010 Hyundai Tucson Limited PZEV, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Styling, value. Outstanding transmission, you have no idea when it shifts, does not hunt around for next gear. Peppy with nice tight steering, firm ride. Minimum road noise easy to get around. Nice interior, comfortable and room for 5 + gear. Only had for a few days so not sure of milage, I have an Elantra 2007 and it has outstanding milage so I hope for the same. Wanted a smaller SUV and this fit the bill. Had a Venza all lined up ready to go then read about the standard 19" tires that killed the deal, bad tires! Saw the Tucson and really liked the styling, my wife liked the size and the fact it was black with black leather. Nice sound system and navigation system is useful.
Cons: No power lift gate, but it does close easily. The cubbie hole on top of the dash like in my Elantra. Larger gas tank. A little less hard plastic on interior. Ah most important add an adjustment to the power seat that would raise section under your front legs, just a slight tilt up. One other nit pick, the outside mirrors do not match the overall fluid design of the vehicle.
Overall review: Overall driving experince has been pleasureable, like I mentioned transmission very smooth. Seems to have more than enough get up and go will be anxious to take a lengthy trip. We traded in a 2008 Buick Enclave, too big said my wife, and the while the Tucson is not as quiet, nothing will match the Enclave in terms of quiet, or as big, it compares favorably. Transmission is way beyond the Enclaves 6 speed it really was herky, jerky. Initially I am very pleased and as this is my wifes car she "likes it" and I guess that is all that matters. Spare tire is inside under the rear seat area, would rather have that area as storage as in the Santa Fe. Unusuall feature, gas pedal comes down to and attaches to the floor, you will need to cut rubber floormats to fit. Back up camera very nice feature but would be even better with an audible sound. Panoramic moon roof is nice touch, gives impression of more room inside. Fit and finish appears to be fine. If quality equals Elantra that is great.

"2010 Tucson" by SueG from Pennsylvania on 01/28/2011. Trim: 2010 Hyundai Tucson GLS AWD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Surprised to find out it didn't come with foglights. Door interior material hard to keep clean. REAR WINDOW HORRIBLE to see out & creates a large blind spot on both sides. I have a 2010 Tucson 4cyc purchased brand new with 4 miles. I drove a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan AWD 6cyc for 11 yrs ... never slide on ice or snow ... with this Tucson I slide in our first snow. When I can afford it ... I will purchase a different suv ... I just don't like the feel of this vehicle.
Cons: in addition to above ... it took Burns Hyundai 1 hr to prepare the vehicle ... then I found out that they over inflated all 4 tires by 10 pounds ... mind you these tires are filled with a special air for a better ride ...
Overall review: I have had no engine issues. Gas mileage around town is 15-17 mpg ... highway 28 average
Review ID: #550763 Is this review offensive?
Nothing special. by Maryelen on 07/18/2014. Trim: 2010 Hyundai Tucson GLS AWD, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Not the car of my choice, but looks good & handles well.
Cons: Very poor visibility. Trying to back into garage & I hit a blind spot on both sides. Terrible. Tend to park in parking lots facing out because it is so difficult to backup. Even with the camera, you have blind spots. Also, backup lights are very small & do not throw enough light.
Overall review: Would not give a good review because it is such a hassle to backup. Actually is dangerous. Very poor design.
Review ID: #586561 Is this review offensive?
Perfect for us. by Judi..Las Cruces, NM on 12/13/2010. Trim: 2010 Hyundai Tucson GLS, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I love the built in telephone feature..also, we have an outside temp gauge.
Cons: Smaller than the Santa Fe we had as far as room in the rear.
Overall review: Had two Santa Fe's b/4 this..loved them. Wanted something smaller this time. I would consider a Hyundai "A perfect car".
Review ID: #550065 Is this review offensive?
Definitely consider the Tuscon by LordBern - Baltimore on 07/27/2010. Trim: 2010 Hyundai Tucson GLS, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Snazzy looks, inside and out. Build quality is top notch. Lots of standard equipment in the base GLS. Pretty good value for the money. Love all of the standard safety equipment (anti-lock brakes, traction control, hill-descent control, etc) that's usually only found on pricier vehicles. Nice range of exterior colors. Pretty good trunk room for its size. Very quiet on the road. 'Popular Equipment Package' pretty much gives you all the options you'd want/need as far as options go.
Cons: There's no 'normal' sun-roof option, only the gigantic 'all-roof' sunroof on the loaded (and too expensive) models. No outside temperature gauge. Averaging about 20-23 MPG which is ok, but expected better.
Overall review: I considered another Honda CR-V (own one now) but wanted something different. Also looked at the Nissan Rogue (build quality stunk) and the Ford Escape (stalled on the dealer lot). The Tuscon had it all for me for a very reasonable price. A top-of-the-line CR-V still wouldn't have had everything the Tuscon has in it (and would have been more money). Had it for 5 months now and love it. We'll see if it's as reliable as the Honda (45k miles and no problems). Very comfortable vehicle for trips. The 4-Cyl engine gives peppy performance. Hyundai has come a LONG way in their build and design in the last couple of years. I never thought I would buy one, but I'm very happy I did. I definitely recommend the Tuscon as an option if you're in the market for a car like this.

Winnipeg Goldeyes rookie lefthander Reggie Hochstedler had a tough professional debut on Tuesday night.
Hochstedler, a 22-year-old rookie right out of Indiana State University was tagged for four runs on two hits – one of them a solo homer by Ryan Pineda and the other a two-run double by Keith Brachold – in the top of the seventh inning as the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks beat the Winnipeg Goldeyes 5-2 at Shaw Park.
It was the second exhibition game of the spring for the Goldeyes who finished a back-to-back series in Winnipeg against Fargo with a record of 1-1. The Goldeyes beat Fargo 10-6 on Monday night.
Hochstedler, who was handed the ball in the seventh by Goldeyes manager Rick Forney, just completed his collegiate career with the Indiana State Sycamores.
Tuesday night, he saw his first action as a professional, coming into the exhibition game with the score tied 1-1 in the seventh. After giving up a lead-off homer to Pineda, he got Todd Jennings to foul out. For a moment, it appeared as if any nervousness might have subsided, but he proceeded to walk Jeff Lundell, the No. 9 hitter, then Zach Penprase and Buddy Sosnoskie to load the bases. Tim Alberts hit a sacrifice fly to make the score 3-1 Fargo before Brachold doubled home two runs to make it 5-1.
It was a difficult start for the rookie, but there are still five more exhibition games, so Hochstedler will get plenty of chances to get a feel for American Association hitters. In the meantime, Forney was quite pleased with his team's overall effort.
"I thought the game was well played by both teams," Forney said. "I saw some good arms today, some good offense and defense. All around, it was a good day."
The Goldeyes added a run in the seventh when Nate Samson's ground out scored Leonard Davis from third and then they added another in the eighth when Casey Haerther doubled home Fehlandt Lentini, but that's as close as the home side got.
Nick Liles, who went who went two-for-four with an RBI was the player of the game. The Goldeyes finished with three runs on eight hits and no errors.
Although Hochstedler struggled – four earned runs on two hits and three walks – the rest of the staff was solid. In fact, Kaohi Downing, who celebrated his 27th birthday with a perfect eighth inning, striking out the first two batters he faced.
In total, the Goldeyes looked at seven pitchers. The first three pitched five innings of scoreless baseball – starter Matt Rusch, Edgar Osuna and Pete Gehle, who allowed no runs on two hits over three innings.
"Peter (Gehle) looked real good tonight," said Forney. "I liked the way the ball came out of his hand. He moved the ball around and his off-speed pitches kept the ball off the barrel of the bat. I thought he was real good.
"And I thought Kaohi looked real good. Kaohi's arm speed was good and his release point was a little lower than I remember it last year. I thought he did a real good job."
Chris Allen gave up a run in the sixth and then Hochstedler gave up four in the seventh. The seven pitchers struck out 13 RedHawks.
The Goldeyes will work out on Wednesday and Thursday at Shaw Park and then will play their final home pre-season game on Friday night against the University of Winnipeg Wesmen.
"We'll be out on the field for about an hour and a half tomorrow," said Forney. "It will be a short day on the legs. We're going to install our bunt play defenses tomorrow, but for the most part it won't be a tough day. And it will be a real light day for our pitchers. I don't think anyone has to throw. They'll just run tomorrow."

CLEVELAND, Ohio - A Trumbull County man is going to prison for trying to hire a Cleveland Clinic emergency room patient to kill a woman.
Cleveland federal Judge Christopher Boyko on Wednesday, sentenced 23-year-old Andrew Martin of Bristolville to 12 years in prison.
In April, Martin pleaded gully to using an interstate commerce facility for murder-for-hire and wire fraud.
Authorities say Martin offered $10,000 to an ER patient to kill a woman in a dispute over ownership of her deceased brother's house in Lakewood. The intended victim wasn't harmed.
The sister says Martin and another man not charged in the alleged plot took advantage of her brother. He died in 2010 and was suffering from dementia.
Martin is no longer employed by the clinic.

Hewlett-Packard: Four Big Mistakes
Leo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
How did tech titan Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) lose over 70% of its market capitalization in just over two years? The Palo Alto, California-based company, once considered a bellwether of the tech industry, has slowly withered after a series of jarring leadership changes, expensive acquisitions and poorly executed business decisions. Just how bad has Hewlett Packard fared over the past year? Let's take a look at HP's 12-month performance vs. Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), Lenovo (PINK:LNVGY) and Apple.
Source: Google Finance
In my humble opinion, four major mistakes over the past two years crippled Hewlett-Packard. Although each of these events have been well documented in financial media, it's worth connecting all these dots just to see how this row of dominoes collapsed.
Mistake #1: Fire Your CEO at the Apex of His Popularity
There's no question that HP started its downhill slide with the departure of popular CEO Mark Hurd, who had been regarded as the turnaround force at the computing giant. Mark Hurd's aggressive cost-cutting initiatives and workforce reductions, combined with steady and safe product launches, contributed to the stock's 130% surge between 2005 and 2010.
Under Hurd's leadership, HP claimed the top spot in laptop computer sales in 2006 and desktop computers in 2007. The New York Times lauded him, stating that Hurd "pulled off one of the great rescue missions in American corporate history, refocusing the strife-ridden company and leading it to five years of revenue gains."
Yet at the peak of his popularity in August 2010, HP's board forced him to resign, alleging that he had an improper relationship with a female contractor at HP which led to irregularities in his personal expense account.
Hurd didn't stay unemployed for long. Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison, a close personal friend, immediately swooped in and gave him a top position at his company - one of HP's biggest rivals in the cloud computing and enterprise data storage field.
Ellison described Hurd's dismissal by HP as "the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs." Ellison criticized HP's "long list of failed CEOs" and praised Hurd for "doing a brilliant job reviving HP to its former greatness."
Mistake #2: Buy More Stuff to Compensate for an Absent CEO
Without a proper CEO appointed after Hurd's abrupt dismissal, HP then engaged its longtime rival Dell in a bidding war for data storage company 3Par. In September 2010, HP acquired 3Par for $2.35 billion, shelling out a whopping 200% acquisition premium that shocked many analysts and investors.
If HP's intention was to distract investors with a shiny new business and promises of future growth, then it failed. Some analysts believe that Dell, knowing that it would be outbid, baited HP into overpaying for 3Par, which subsequently had to pay Dell $72 million to break its initial merger agreement.
Mistake #3: Hire a Controversial New CEO Who Tries to Dismantle the Company
While HP investors were still scratching their heads over the 3Par deal, the board of directors appointed Leo Apotheker - the former co-CEO of German software company SAP (NYSE: SAP) - as the new CEO. Apotheker had served as the head of SAP for two years before being forced to resign.
Rather than adjust his leadership style for HP's delicately balanced business model of personal computers, imaging hardware, corporate data storage and IT services, Apotheker started an ill-fated crusade to transform HP into an enterprise software company resembling his former employer, SAP.
On paper, Apotheker's transition from lower-margin hardware sales to higher-margin data services could have succeeded. After all, IBM (NYSE: IBM) successfully sold off its personal computing unit to Lenovo in 2005, and channeled its efforts into producing industry standard corporate servers instead. IBM's stock has more than doubled since the turnaround effort.
Unfortunately, Apotheker appeared dead set on transforming HP into SAP overnight. In August 2011, Apotheker announced that he would discontinue HP's WebOS-based smartphone efforts and the TouchPad - HP's fledgling tablet - thus wasting the $1.2 billion that the company had just spent acquiring Palm under Hurd's tenure.
Apotheker then announced that HP would spin off its PC business - its largest business segment - in an effort to pursue a pure ESSN (Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking) business model. In other words, he wanted HP to change into a business that he was more familiar with - instantly.
Finally, to drive his point home to the board and investors, Apotheker had HP acquire British software giant Autonomy for $11.1 billion - a 58% acquisition premium - to boost HP's presence in the enterprise data storage field. Although the board approved of Apotheker's radical initiatives - unlike investors, who were fleeing - they were reportedly frustrated by his inability to execute plans quickly and effectively.
Mistake #4: Fire Your CEO Again & Reverse Your Previous Decisions
Less than a year after appointing Apotheker, HP's board grew weary of his radical changes and his inability to execute them properly. In September 2011, they fired him and replaced him with former eBay CEO Meg Whitman.
Whitman reversed Apotheker's decision to spin off HP's personal computer business, and renamed its idle WebOS unit "Gram," while creating a new open source version of the operating system. HP has been secretive regarding its intentions for Gram, but industry watchers believe that HP could be relying on developers to revive the nearly defunct operating system.
In May 2012, Whitman announced that she would lay off 27,000 employees in a massive restructuring effort. Despite maintaining the status quo for HP's business model, which is still being rapidly eroded by smartphones, tablets and other hybrid devices, Whitman has managed to instill a degree of investor confidence that was non-existent under Apotheker's short and stormy reign.
However, HP has yet to see Whitman's efforts pay off. In its most recent quarter, HP reported a GAAP adjusted loss of $6.41 per share, down from a profit of $3.32 per share in the prior year quarter. Revenue slid 7% to $30 billion.
Whitman blamed Apotheker's $11.1 billion acquisition of Autonomy as the primary reason for HP's drop in earnings per share. HP now claims that it was misled into overpaying for Autonomy, which it claims engaged in accounting malpractices to inflate its numbers in an effort to force a higher bid. HP took an $8.8 billion write off in its most recent quarter to review and repair Autonomy's "serious accounting improprieties." The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a probe into HP's claims, but a quick resolution of this debacle seems unlikely. HP has now formally sued Autonomy and its auditors, KPMG and Deloitte, for compensation.
Time is running out for HP. The company should be accelerating an initiative to take advantage of Windows 8 by introducing a viable tablet or hybrid device, but it is stuck trying to undo the self-inflicted damage from the dismissal of Hurd and appointment of Apotheker. HP shareholders don't need the company to sue its own subsidiary. What it needs is a road map for future growth. Let's see what analysts are expecting from HP.
The bar has certainly been set low, but Wall Street still expects HP to grow its top line through 2013. Blaming Apple and Google for all its problems, as Dell has also done, won't work for much longer. HP would benefit strongly from a business shift towards its ESSN segment - which generates 17% of its annual revenue - but an increasing number of investors are questioning the future of aging x86 servers in the future. In other words, HP needs to stop bickering, start planning and show investors that the grown ups have come home.

Please email an instructional video to him." "Jon has been using me a lot more than usual. We might want to send him a coupon for framing nails and other building supplies." • "The moisture level in Jon's garage is too high. Please send an SMS to his phone to let him know I'm going to rust prematurely if he doesn't do something about it." • "I'm not in my normal location and I haven't been used in a long time. I think I'm lost. Please contact Jon to let him know where I am." Permalink

Six lenders, including Atlanta-based Sun Trust Mortgage, have agreed to pay $161 million to settle a massive whistleblower lawsuit that alleged they overcharged military veterans on their home refinancing loans. The whistleblower lawsuit was filed by two local loan officers on behalf of the taxpayers. Most of the money recovered will be returned to the government. The I-Team was first to tell you how Atlanta loan officers Victor Bibby and Brian Donnelly filed a federal whistleblower lawsuit against 13 banks and mortgage companies accusing them of taking part in a "brazen scheme to defraud both our nation's veterans and the United States Treasury." After our initial stories, their whistleblower lawsuit was unsealed and JP Morgan Chase agreed to a $45 million dollar settlement. Now, you can add $161 million to that total.Sun Trust Mortgage paid $10 million. They had no comment. Two defendants remain: Wells Fargo and Mortgage Investors Corporation.
