Which jQuery method should be used to load in a block of markup in this conditional css function?
I am using WordPress to load content conditionally depending on the viewport size, but I need to replace the
method with a more appropriate method. You can see how this works in the link above by resizing your browser and watching it load a custom value depending on the browser size.Example CSS:
body:after { display: none; /* Default */ content: "Mobile"; } @media (min-width: 35em) { body:after { content: "Desktop"; } }
To be very specific, if the JS can detect that
content: "Mobile"
is active, it will load mobile content. If it detectscontent: "Desktop"
, it will load desktop content.Here's the javascript I'm trying to work with:
$(function() { var currentSize = "Mobile"; $(window).resize(function() { var size = window.getComputedStyle(document.body, ':after').getPropertyValue('content'); /* Ridiculous thing to deal with inconsistent returning of value from query. Some browsers have quotes some don't */ size = size.replace(/"/g, ""); size = size.replace(/'/g, ""); if (size != currentSize) { if (size == 'Desktop') { $(".content").load('file.php'); currentSize = 'Desktop'; } } }).resize(); }
How do I load a block with custom hooks? I obviously don't need to use the
function to call a PHP file since the content is in the database somewhere, but I don't know how to solve this problem.Here is some example code I want to insert into the desktop version to replace the mobile version code:

One
 <?php the_block('One'); ?>

Two
 <?php the_block('Two'); ?>

Three
 <?php the_block('Three'); ?>

As you can see, there are 3 custom hooks that contain more markup and code. I don't know how to properly load this into the javascript so that it will replace the mobile version code.
php is executed server side before the dom is available, if you want to manipulate the page without redirecting (just on resize) you can use $(window).width() and store your relevent html in variables. appending those variables to dom elements based on what screen width you have.
Also, do you know about wp_is_mobile() ? http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_is_mobile
@elneco, thanks for your feedback. I understand that php is executed server side which is one reason why I don't know how to insert this block of code or store it as a variable. I don't need to use the
function since this method already works great.But, that
function is new to me. That might change what I'm trying to do! Thanks. :)Hmm, after reviewing how
, I don't think it's as useful for what I'm trying to do. It's a blanket for anything mobile and I need something that's more specific to individual viewports, not devices.

College Football: Villanova gains automatic playoff entry
NEWARK, Del. — John Robertson could not help himself.
Although the players were told not to look at the scoreboard during Villanova's 41-10 romp over Delaware Saturday afternoon, Robertson could not resist. He had to know what was going on in the rest of the Colonial Athletic Association.
To his credit, Robertson waited until late in the fourth quarter, when the Wildcats had the game under control, before he disobeyed orders and took a peek at the giant scoreboard in the south end of Delaware Stadium.
A smile came over his face.
He saw that 19th-ranked Towson had rolled over No. 7 New Hampshire, 64-35, which meant that Villanova's victory over Delaware gave the Wildcats a share of the CAA title along with New Hampshire, Richmond and Towson.
Not bad for a team that went 2-9 last year and was picked to finish eighth in the league in a preseason poll of the league's coaches.
"Tt's a great feeling," said senior safety Ronnie Akins, who had two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. "After how low we fell last year, to be back on top feels just great."
"It's a really beautiful thing to see all that hard work we put in during the offseason and throughout the season pay off," running back Kevin Monangai said.
That good feeling turned to euphoria a few hours later as fourth-ranked Old Dominion rallied for a 38-28 victory over James Madison in Harrisonburg, Va.
ODU's win over JMU gave Villanova the CAA's automatic berth in the FCS playoffs, which begin next week. It is Villanova's first trip to the playoffs since reaching the national semifinals in 2010. Continued...
If James Madison had won, Villanova's playoff fate would have been left up to the NCAA Tournament selection committee.
If Delaware had won, Villanova's season would be over, but Robertson, Monangai, the offensive line and the Villanova defense made sure the Wildcats came out on top.
Robertson was just happy to be on the field. He wasn't cleared to play until Wednesday after taking a hit to the head in last week's 35-20 victory over James Madison. He only had one day of practice to get ready for the Blue Hens (5-6, 2-6), but that was more than enough.
Robertson threw one touchdown pass, ran for another score and amassed 327 yards of total offense. The redshirt sophomore carried the ball 17 times for 134 yards and completed 15 of 21 passes for 193 yards. He started slowly, but knew he was fine when he ripped off a 46-yard run in the first quarter.
"After that, I was like, 'Let's have some fun and play some football," Robertson said.
Monangai had another great game, too. The sophomore topped the 100-yard mark for the fifth straight week. The last Villanova running back to turn that trick was a guy named Brian Westbrook in 2001. Monangai carried the ball 24 times for 146 yards and one touchdown.
It was only the third time in Villanova history that the Wildcats had two players rush for more than 130 yards in a game.
"Our line does such a great job," Monangai said. "They just blow people off the ball."
While Villanova dominated the line of scrimmage, the Wildcat defense made sure the slumping Blue Hens could get nothing going offensively. The only offense Delaware mustered was a 30-yard field goal by Sean Baner in the second quarter that cut Villanova's lead to 14-10. Delaware's only touchdown came on a 94-yard kickoff return by Michael Johnson in the first quarter.
"We came to play today," Akins said. "We were ready. We knew we had to come up big to win this game." Continued...
Fittingly, it was the defense that finished off the Blue Hens. Akins returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown.
"It just happened so fast. It all came down to my coverage. He threw the ball right to me," Akins said. "I saw nothing but open field in front of me and (defensive end) Brendan Erbeznik hit the quarterback and I was in the corner of the end zone."
A little over two minutes later, fellow senior Eric Loper stepped in front of a Trent Hurley pass and ran it back 42 yards for a score. The back-to-back interceptions were part of a 27-point unanswered salvo the Wildcats fired after Delaware cut the lead to four on Baner's field goal in the second quarter.
All three of Villanova's touchdowns in the second half were set up by interceptions. Akins' first pick led to an 11-yard TD run by Robertson.
"We controlled our destiny," Akins said. "We couldn't worry about all that other stuff because it meant nothing if we lost. We knew we had to win to have a shot at anything."
After going 2-9, the Wildcats were not about to let a chance to grab a share of the CAA title slip through their grasp.
"It's amazing," Villanova coach Andy Talley said. "The toughest thing about this whole job is getting out of the CAA and into the playoffs. I think we'll do well in the playoffs. I just hope we get it."
A few hours after taking care of Delaware, Talley and the Wildcats got their wish, thanks to an assist from Old Dominion.

Apple iPad 4 Review
0. phoneArena posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:25
Just a little over six months ago, the third-generation iPad became the Cupertino-based company's flagship tablet, as it moved the industry along its normal course by introducing us to a Retina Display ready iPad. Now in the present, it has seemingly given up its seat on the throne to the latest entrant to the market – the aptly named Apple iPad 4, which isn't necessarily a true successor...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here
1. PapaSmurf posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:32 39
So the unchanging OS doesn't get listed as a con but it is when the writers make an article about it. It's "The New iPad" just with an A6 chip and Lightning, and scores a 9? Haha wow. Never trusting PA reviews ever again.
5. KParks23 posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:44 25
i love how THE PHONE htc one x + gets a negative for only 1GB of ram but the 1GB of ram in the IP4 does not even get mentioned LOL.. why dont u guys go ahead and put a I in front of the P in ur web address.. ITS the same tablet as the ipad 3 but has a new connector and they FINALLY upgraded there garbage FF cam they didnt even change the look of it.
20. Retro-touch posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:36 5
PA judges based on other phones, One X+ is a high end Android phone and for an updated phone to feature 1GB of RAM when the competition flaunts 2GB, it has to be judged according to its position on the spectrum. When iPad 4 is judged relative to iPad 3 and previous offerings (iPad2/1) its definitely a 9. iPhone is judged with other iPhone offerings so its no surprise it scores well
37. KParks23 posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:44 6
Hey dumb dumb Microsoft just released a tablet with 2gb of ram! Ooooooo apple is going to put 2gb of ram in the next ipad...the ipad 3.75 set to release next month!
42. Nathan_ingx posted on 06 Nov 2012, 09:32 5
Don't give them ideas...
Apple might release iPad 5 with 3GB ram and patent it!!
52. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 06 Nov 2012, 12:30 6
why is the ipad only being judge with previous ipads?? there are other tablets out there dude.....PA may not know it but when they do that, it makes the Ipad look superior to other tablets and makes others feel less worthy........So please stop with trying to justify them as people can clearly smell the bias around here...
54. schecter7 posted on 06 Nov 2012, 13:17 3
Dude, let me add this as an android user. I can smell serious bias towards samsung as well here at PA. Especially, if you read the ridiculous review of galaxy phones. PA bashed the One X and Xperias real hard. They even claimed GS3 camera is better than One X. I mean seriously it was ludicrous. GS3 has a horrible camera that takes terribly noisy lowlight pictures.
PA used to be a neutral site for phone reviews. I'm sad that they are skewing their reviews to score more 'clicks' - very sad.
58. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 06 Nov 2012, 14:50 0
well im unsure if GS3's camera is better than the One X but from what i remember there were certain pictures that the Galaxy did do better and certain pictures where the One X did better......Now if im correct the Galaxy S3 has a Sony inbuilt camera and where I believe they would be obviously biased would be if they where to say the Galaxies camera is better than a Xperia camera! Unless samsung is asking sony for something special for there phone that sony isnt putting in there own phones, then it would definitely be a biased review........People here tend to go with there emotions alot and are so caught up in the sales game......and since apple and samsung are selling the best they go with there skewed logic that, if they are selling the most then they must be the best.....when thats not entirely true......If you know how to sell a broken car to a customer then that would just make you a genius salesman.......not saying somethings wrong with apple or samsung but it doesnt mean they have the best phones because they are selling well, but more so they just know how to control the media
64. Mxyzptlk posted on 07 Nov 2012, 16:32 1
I don't think there's any other tablet that can effectively compete.
67. PapaSmurf posted on 11 Nov 2012, 03:11 0

You can bash the iPad fourth-generation all you want, but one thing will always be true, The iPad fourth-generation is a gaming powerhouse! The reason the iPad fourth-generation does not need as much random access memory, is because the iPad fourth-generation has a very random access memory Efficient chip! The processor has a dual core CPU, so 2 cores handle the workload. No it may not be quad core, but why should it be. If you think about it, the CPU on this ipad is more efficient than a lot of computers. The next thing is the GPU. The GPU on this tablet is a gaming POWERHOUSE! No matter how much you bash it, I can run console- quality graphics with ease. But nobody wants to talk about that huh. Oh, and how about that easy to use OS! It may not be customizable without jailbreaking it, but as we all know, that is NOT apples goal. My baby sister is 3 years old and can operate this ipad with EASE. How many 3 year olds do you know that can even find the apps MENU on a nexus 10. Hell, how many can even unlock the damn thing. Back in 2007, when the original iPhone came out, most people at the time had flip phones, so the thought behind it was, " how can we make a device that a computer illiterate can use with little learning curve". YES IT'S OUTDATED, if your used to smartphones, but for someone who's not, it's a godsend.
11. Kronic (banned) posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:57 3
A6X chip that doubles the mighty graphics power of ipad 3 and increases CPU power to give more than twice the performance. A6X is a different chip. It's not the same as the A6. It's much faster and beats exynos 5 in most benchmarks.
15. rickywinataa posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:16 9
we can't really compare the benchmark results, they are 2 different OS that has different kind of process during benchmark.
also, we can't say A6X is slower or faster than exynos 5. A6X is still an A9 processor, exynos 5 is an A15 processor
17. TROLL (limited) 5 days ago posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:20 3
Very first A15 buy Samsung and Nexus
46. Kronic (banned) posted on 06 Nov 2012, 09:58 0
No it's not A9. It's a a custom CPU design. But you have to agree that A6X is powerhouse.
51. PapaSmurf posted on 06 Nov 2012, 11:30 3
A6X is A9 and Exynos 5 is A15...

59. xtremesv posted on 06 Nov 2012, 15:46 2
The lighting connector must be listed as a con not commented as something good just because Apple will virtuously "unify" its devices leaving millions of current users with hundreds of dollars invested in expensive accessories.
62. Mxyzptlk posted on 07 Nov 2012, 16:30 0
A well deserved 9. The new A6 chip is actually a lot faster than many devices today. Do not assume nothing has changed.
Don't forget Google released another Nexus phone but with only 8GB of memory and no Android fan through a huge fit over it. I don't think it's fair to treat that as a con against the iPad 4.
3. prakesh posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:35 16
are you serious bout this?
super lower ppi
not a retina dislay
got 9?
7. eisenbricher posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:49 5
Don't start hating as soon as you see Apple, dude. You make us all look silly. This isn't iPad mini, but an iPad 4 which indeed has a RETINA DISPLAY. And deserved 9.
21. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:38 9
then how would you justify an 8.5 for surface ? I can bet that if Michael H. reviewed it, it wouldn`t even get an 8.5. Everybody knows here that PA is so biased when it comes to apple. They couldn`t find any cons with Note II but still it got a 9. Can you explain that ?
PS. - now I should be expecting a warning for stating the facts.
32. No_Nonsense posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:29 2
Surface RT deserves a 8. The Surface Pro deserves a 9+ rating. Note 2 is too big.
34. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:35 3
NOTE II might be too big for you but there are millions who needs a device like that. and apart from stylus its the SIZE which makes it what it is, a phablet.
38. No_Nonsense posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:49 0
Er, I was saying it seems the reason for the 9.
39. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2012, 09:03 1
but it was not listed in the cons so technically N II should get a perfect 10.
40. Nathan_ingx posted on 06 Nov 2012, 09:06 1
Excuse moi...but there will never be a perfect 10!!
Never in PA!
41. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2012, 09:27 0
which is fine. The only thing I wanna say is that this review is not fair and unbiased. it wouldn`t get this score if it wasn`t an apple product.
44. Nathan_ingx posted on 06 Nov 2012, 09:38 1
You mean "not fair and BIASED" right???
Cause what you wrote just killed what it meant!!
47. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2012, 10:14 0
lol yeah you are right. was typing too fast. +1
8. prakesh posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:51 3
ooops my bad. its ipad 4 i tought its an ipad mini.
ipad4?you mean the new ipad (3)?
4. _Bone_ posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:36 6
PhoneArena: would you kindly wait for the final version of Nexus 10 before reviewing, full SW features, updated drivers, new Chrome.
iPad4: great machine.
6. eisenbricher posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:47 2
No badmouthing about this. Even though I don't like apple, iPad 4 is a nice device for entertainment purpose.
24. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:47 3
No doubt about ipad being a great device for entertainment but its basically the same as the new ipad (3). For Android phones PA can list 1 GB of RAM as a con but apple can keep on producing the same stuff and its fine. So much for a fair & unbiased review. and now I know why Michael never review products. its because he is not biased.
9. TROLL (limited) 5 days ago posted on 06 Nov 2012, 06:52 9
All 4 of the iPad look the same!
These users will be buying the same thing over and over again, how so weird, must i feel sorry for them. How you meant to diffrenciate them, they all look the same? But i really love the powe of the CPU and GPU!
36. PAPINYC posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:39 4
My head almost exploded looking at the comparison pics' above, I can't tell which is which; I think Apple should sue itself for badly iCopied products.
This review is a scam: "9"?????? My upcoming Galaxy Note II on Verizon has far better specs', including display, and, it too, received a "9".
One wonders if PhoneArena "Copies & Pastes" the same review every time Apple releases their 'Next Big Thing' and just changes the main title??
12. brandonrana posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:08 11
The surface got an 8.5 and this little piece of sh*t got 9 ???????? So much for just a retina display gimmick ??
13. rickywinataa posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:09 4
well, we don't need to see the upgrade it has from previous-gen iPad. This upgrade is intended for super intense gaming
however, iPad is hands down still the best tablet in the market, its ecosystem is still second to none. IMO, iPad 4 is the real upgrade over iPad 2 in terms of processing power. third gen iPad A5X was made to COMPROMISE the retina display.
also i want to ask all fanboys who just want to mock this product to shut up. i was an android fanboy once, but even android wasn't perfect. there are options in everything, pros and cons but please appreciate it even though you don't like it.
14. brandonrana posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:11 3
Dude an unbiased review can never get acceptance or appreciation !
16. rickywinataa posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:18 5
well, i must admit that PA's rating is a bit biased towards apple. but iPad still is a great device by any means
22. brandonrana posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:41 2
You admit right? Thats what my point is ... I get it thats its realy a grt device , but still its not the best of all. so why (I)PA being biased on apple related products?
25. rickywinataa posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:52 1
yeah i'm rather curious about this one thing too. probably the reviewer is biased ? or the PA itself is biased. i saw optimus L9 review, almost all sites say it is a great mid-range device but the rating on PA is only 7.5 . WTH ?
IMO, pocketnow's rating is still the most un-biased & the reviewers are all great
26. brandonrana posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:05 1
You to got a point here. Basically you are also stating a right fact. PA should stop being biased towards apple or else give other company the similar rating
28. Reluctant_Human posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:09 2
Hate Apple. But it is a solid reliable product and accurate as a stand alone review. When you review it, you can't base it on previous versions of the product (no matter how identicle) or other ones. I'll save my bashing for the comparison tests :).
35. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 06 Nov 2012, 08:37 0
if this ipad is for "SUPER INTENSE GAMING" then what are Gaming Laptops for ?
19. bloodline posted on 06 Nov 2012, 07:27 9
Heres my view.
The ipad is a great device, its well built and well powered with a great display and we all know it has the best selection of tablet optimised apps.
But IOS hasn't changed, its core function has nothing innovative, especially after how many years its been running.
Can you have multiple users - no.
Can you watch a movie whilst sending a tweet, whilst looking at facebook no.
Can you customise its so it better fits you needs? - No
Can you use it on the train and pull up at a station and it automatically gives you train times with out any input - No
That fact that this stale bit of software achieved a 9 reflects how poor phones arena reviews are when comparing against competition.
Its only ahead of the competition in build quality and apps. If you consider 10 perfection and this is a 9...what planet are you on ?

Great idea: you people whining and complaining phone arena is biased towards apple---- just go away and find somewhere else to play. Problem solved.

Wow so you liked the new sooo innovative ipad4 right? So go and buy.. BYEEE...!!

For me, iPad 4 is what iPhone 5 was to iPhone 4 (S)...nothing much.
48. juwansome posted on 06 Nov 2012, 10:14 1
not even as much of an upgrade because the screen ratio is still 4:3 and not 16:9 like the iphone 5

What a review, I am at a loss for words. The amount of gushing over "retina" display was nauseating, I was half expecting the reviewer to show a photo of him about to get it on with the device. It gets a 9, whilst the mini gets an 8.5 so you expect someone to think that the mini is half a point as good as the iPad 4. So aside from processor improvement to which no one will notice since the app launcher doesn't need any extra grunt because it barely does anything to begin with. This device still gets a 9, same OS as the previous iPhone 5, no changes to speak of anywhere in that review. So same sh@t different day and iPad 4 just waltzes through with a 9.
I noticed that there was absolutely no mention of upcoming competitors, including the retina busting Nexus 10, but yea Ipad 4 Retina screen is great for movies it's warmer colors are just perfect...you guys make me sick. Warmer colors are good for watching movies? No you actually want colors more neutral for movies to be represented as true to format for the best experience. I can guarantee that the Nexus 10 will have a list of cons and not get higher than 8.5.

Between the iPad 4 and Nexus 10 you won't notice a difference in screen quality. The apps are optimized to look good on the iPad 4's retina display. A difference of 40ppi won't be noticeable like people say.

above average battery is really in a pros list ??
ha ha ha !!!

Missing cons from the review:
-1 point for outdated and static OS
-1 point for no multi-user support

FFS it is not a retina display a true retina display as over 440ppi

Comment: When looking for an alternative to the expensive bags from Harley-Davidson I came upon these. Not knowing if they would work I ordered them anyways. Put the Yolk under the rear seat and the bags fit great with the side license plate. Able to hold a lot of stuff in these bags. Excellent choice for the money!

Bourbonnais, Il
Comment: Great bags, well designed, great fit! Installed these on my '08 Star Raider ...due to the design of these bags, I could've gone with the extra large with room to spare, but this size is still a nice fit and does not detract from the look of the bike.
West Virginia
Comment: very nice bags put them on my 99 1400 intruder nice fit great price would and did buy from jafrum again bags are great quality and can't beat the price, thnx jafrum
Portland Oregon
Comment: I was looking for a bag that would hold the things I need to take back and forth to work. They are a clean looking and simple set of bags.
Comment: My brother loves these saddlebags,they were just what he wanted.
Comment: I ordered these bags after reading the review of the guy who had a V-Rod Muscle. If they fit his V-Rod surely they would fit mine great. They do and I'm very pleased with the way they look. Jafrum has great quality products.

Allen, TX
Comment: Mounted these on my Harley V-Rod and they look great under my back seat. Easy to tie to my shocks and holds all my stuff. Great quality too. Thanks Jafrum
Rich Murray
Comment: Have a 2008 HD Sportster -Nightster and it's hard to find bags that fit without moving taillights. These bags fit perfectly (medium) and I probably could have gotten the large size. Bags are great. Well made and look great too.

New Bern, NC
Comment: I bought these but returned for a larger size wish I went another size up, after a season of use the zipper pulls broke off, would I suggest these? Yes but to buy the xx large ones.
Erie, PA
Comment: I got my bags 2 weeks ago. Installation was very easy, even for a klutzy novice like me. The bags look good and appear to be durable. They fit my Yamaha VStar 1100 nicely. I got the extra large, and there's still not a lot of room in them, but they should still be OK for casual riding.
Enfield, CT
Comment: Just bought these bags for my Vulcan 900 custom. Easy to install with very little adjustment . Nice look and lots of room, I would recommend these bags to anyone. Will buy from jafrum again.
Denver Colorado
Comment: Bags were perfect for my 650 S40 Susuki. My bike has the tail light assembly mounted pretty close to the rear fender supports so most bags were just too big to fit between the tail lights and the shock. These worked perfect. I mounted them under the seat so they don't flap in the wind while empty, and I can zip them off when I want to. Not a big set of bags, but nice for small tool kit, glasses, jacket liner or vest ect... I love them.
Comment: Easy to install, look great, kinda smaller than I expected but well suited for smaller runs/storage is ample for day to day riding. Can carry all the essentials and more. The bags are very well made. This product was WELL PRICED, WELL SHIPPED and I would buy from this seller without worry again.
Comment: Bags look great, I bought Large for my 97 Intruder, had I seen them before I bought, I would have gone with X Large. Only item from Jafrum that I ordered that I am happy with. I would recommend these bags.
Upstate NY
Comment: The Tour Master Saddlebags are very nice. I like the construction and ease of removal. They seem very durable and almost everything that I want to place in them has fit easily. My only complaint for these bags would be the depth and height. They really need another inch on depth and a few more inces on height.
Windber, PA
Comment: Only had them a week or so, and so far they are great. Light weight, seem to be durable. Zippers and extra compartments are convenient.
Florence, MS
Comment: Quality and look are very nice. After measuring my bike (2005 Honda VTX1300c) for fit and reading reviews I ordered the large, I would suggest going up to the XL. The Large and the Medium almost look the same size and look small when on the bike. I read this in other reviews as well and still went by my measurements. I exchanged them for the XL. Looks great. great quality. Lots of room. Functional.
Betty Danger
Comment: i purchased the medium bag for my 2010 yamaha vstar 650 and they fit beautiful. I love them. The only issue was when shipped they came with an incorrect part. Jafrum worked with tourmaster to get me the correct item.
Lori Shufelt
Upstate, New York
Comment: Ordered these bags for my Kawa Vulcan 900 custom and was totally stoked when I checked out the quality, workmanship, etc. Unfortunately since I have an aftermarket seat on my scooter I couldn't get the fit I was looking for, had to return them. Thiinking back i'm wondering if I shouldn't have tried some velcro under the seat, attached to the fender to hold them on better.Thiink i'll re-order and go for it - Great Product!
Bumphuque Kansas
Comment: Like the way the bags looked [pics], read the review's. when they arrived, I was dissapointed, the bags are soft and can be flattend easily. I need to get more rigid [more expensive] ones, for me. returned immediately for hassle free refund. would buy from Jafrum again in the future.
columbia s.c.
Comment: I recently purchased a pair of your saddlebags and am quite pleassed with them. They fit well and attach easiely on my 1969 Triumph Tiger 650. They also look good and seem to be of good quality.

Gorgeous, comfortable dress!
I saw this dress at the store and really wanted to buy it, but I'm only 5'0 so unfortunately, it was a bit too long. I agree with the other reviewer, we need some petite sizes please! The colors really make this dress pop and besides looking gorgeous, it looks expensive. The fabric is soft and comfortable and can be easily worn as a cover-up as well. This is lovely, I wish I could bought it :(

Love the length!
This is a great dress! The length is perfect for us "shorter" ladies! The fit and fabric is fabulous. I purchased as a cover up for my pink martini pikini and it will work great for that or as a sundress!
April 2, 2013
beautiful colors
I love the colors in this bandeau dress. I am 5'2, so this dress is a little bit too long for me. Fits perfect everywhere else. Falls nicely, and the fabric is soft. TB needs to come out with petites.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard is a gorgeous, expressive wine laced with sweet red berries, spices and flowers. The inclusion of 10-15% whole clusters gives the wine its aromatic lift. This is all subtlety and class. The delicate, sensual style is immensely appealing."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dark violet color. Complex, inviting aromas of black raspberry, lavender, licorice, and smoky oak. Dense sweet and seamless, with noteworthy intensity and precision to the flavors of red and dark berries, cracked pepper, and Indian spices. Finishes vibrant and very long, with silky tannins and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Pinot Noir Private Stash is a bit more deeply colored, displays greater depth and concentration, and has enough structure to blossom for another 3-4 years. Mouth-filling and succulent..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is brighter, fresher and more vibrant than the 2009.Black cherries, mocha, violets, licorice and graphite all jump from the glass. The 2010 is quite typical of the vintage in its verve, cut, focus and minerality. This is a terrific showing. Anticipated maturity:..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is drop-dead gorgeous. Dark red fruit, tobacco, flowers and licorice emerge from this massive, powerful wine. The Reserve fleshes out beautifully on the palate as the fruit gains dimension and volume. Hints of licorice, menthol and tar wrap around the powerful,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley wraps around the palate with mocha, chocolate, violets and new leather. Despite its explosive personality, the straight Napa Valley bottling is pretty approachable for the vintage..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is all minerals, graphite and pure Howell Mountain. Layers of dark red fruit come to life in this articulate, pedigreed Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 needs another few years in the bottle, but it is already quite striking, especially with some time in the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montanas inky purple color is followed by a rich, sumptuous bouquet of espresso roast, melted chocolate, black currants, charcoal, and subtle background oak. Full-bodied and dense with silky tannins as well as a slightly more velvety texture and opulence than..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Pinot Noir Lindsay Estate is once again impeccable. Silky, suave tannins buffer layers of expressive dark red fruit. Today the 2010 Lindsay comes across as a bit inward, but there is no denying the wines elegant, polished personality."

Movie Quote of the Day – Roma, città aperta, 1945 (dir. Roberto Rossellini)
Hartman: 25 years ago, I commanded firing squads in France. I was a young officer. I believed then, too, in a German "master-race." But the French patriots also died without talking. We Germans simply refuse to believe that people want to be free.
Major Bergman: You're drunk, Hartman!
Hartman: Yes, I'm drunk. . .I get drunk every night to forget. It doesn't help. We can't get anywhere but kill, kill, kill! We have sown Europe with corpses. . .and from those graves rises an incredible hate. . .HATE!. . .everywhere hate! We are being consumed by hatred. . .without hope.
Major Bergman: Enough!
Hartman: We will all die. . .without hope. . .
Major Bergman: I forbid you to continue!
Hartman: . . .without hope.

2012 Hardrock 100 Recap
July 13-15, 2012
Dry trails and mostly dry weather greeted the 140 runners who came from 25 states, Germany, Japan Singapore, the United Kingdom and Canada to run at the 2012 Hardrock. These runners ranged from age 22 to 72 years of age. The conditions helped 98 (70%) of the 2012 field to finish this year's run and kiss the legendary hardrock in Silverton. The first 3 male finishers all finished their second Hardrock in impressive fashion, highlighted by Hal Koerner's time of 24 hours and 50 minutes, which bettered the current course best by over 27 minutes and was the 3rd fastest time ever run at Hardrock. It was also a personal improvement for Hal at Hardrock by over 6 hours! Hal was followed closely by second time finishers Joe Grant and Dakota Jones, both of whom finished within an hour of Hal. Darcy Africa (29 hours, 29 minutes) returned to Hardrock for the 3rd time and showed that the 3rd time was the charm as she led all female finishers. Finishing behind Darcy were Rhonda Claridge and Darla Askew.
Deb Pero won the "Caboose Award" as the final finisher under the 48 hour cutoff. She also became the oldest woman to finish Hardrock.
- Cory Johnson, Lance Johnson, Ricky Denesik, Liz Bauer, David Coblentz and Ted Mahon all completed their 5th Hardrock. Finishing 5 Hardrocks is a major milestone for our event.
- Leo Lloyd, Hardrock's Medical and Emergency Services Director, was awarded Hardrock's "Mother Lode" Award as the outstanding volunteer of the year.
Hardrock 100 At a Glance
100-mile run with 33,992 feet of climb and 33,992 feet of descent for a total elevation change of 67,984 feet with an average elevation of 11,186 feet - low point 7,680 feet (Ouray) and high point 14,048 feet (Handies Peak).

Victoria Defrancesco Soto: The issue trifecta of Benghazi, the IRS audits, and the AP investigations has resuscitated the near moribund Tea Party. While each of these issues deals with different agencies and actors they share the common denominator of heightening distrust in the government.
RJ Eskow: Dimon isn't the cause of our economic problems. He's merely a symptom. He's no more responsible for the wreckage he leaves behind than a surfer is responsible for the undertow of the wave he's riding. Dimon may lack moral sensitivity, but then, that's the character that got him where he is today.

name='tvden']Hi can anyone tell me if they have been charged for importing dvds from abroard Aus in this case, when I import tv spares anything over £18 is at risk of being charged an import duty !! sometimes they bother sometimes they dont, just wondered if anyone has had experience of this with dvds, the dvds would come to £27 many thanks den
The only time I have been charged for importing dvds is when I have bought from a US company called OLDIES.com. They do a good offer on orders for 5 dvds + but the boxes are so big that they incur a customs charge 'cos they often get opened by officials. Last time it cost me an extra £12.

I am very distressed about your reaction to the reputation threads:
Locked? YOU don't like that a tiny minority don't like your grand scheme to Googleize the forums so you're going to lock the threads?
Now personally I'm against it. I'm a cantancerous opinionated old man who believe's as I've said before, that a gentleman who doesn't know a spade from a shovel is a moron and should be told so to his face. I am a genuinly unlikable guy. I don't think I'm going to score so well on your new reputation, but that's not why I'm against it. I've already given my opinion on that subject in the LOCKED thread shown above if anybody cares.
While I'm against it, I'm certainly not so upset by it that I was thinking of leaving the community.
Censorship, on the other hand... Silencing the voices of the minority when they dissent?
That's another matter entirely. Now I'm not so sure this is the place for me any more.

stuck at WB screen
This is really annoying, trying to log into the game and I can't even get to the loading screen.
I'm sitting at various stages in the logo screen: partial WB, full WB, if I'm lucky it will get to the Turbine logo.
Anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?

Smashed Blackberry & Basil Grilled Cheese
Time to fess up: How often/long do you look at Pinterest? I'm probably a 15 minute a day kind of girl. I was perusing the other day, scrolling through the hundreds of pins and images when I was immediately stopped in my tracks. I saw the most beautiful sandwich my eyes have ever seen. I even commented on it, which I never do: "WOW. I am salivating! That looks so yummy - and the best part is... I have a bunch of blackberries in my fridge!!" Yes, I knew at that very moment, what I would be making this weekend. If you want to start drooling, click here. Seriously, this girl knows how to make a sandwich and her photography skills are top notch as well!
Mine is a bit "ghettofied" as I didn't have all of her premium ingredients on hand. But, the result was still such an amazing blend of flavors!
Why mine is ghetto:
- I didn't have fresh warm loaf bread. I used regular sliced multigrain.
- I didn't have fontina cheese to slice. I used a 4 cheese Italian blend - of Mozzarella, Asiago, Romano, & Provolone. Then I added a few chunks of goat cheese for added flavor (not so ghetto).
- I didn't carefully slice my basil leaves. I put whole basil leaves on there and let my mouth do the cutting.
- I didn't use olive oil to pan fry the bread. I slathered on some spreadable butter.
So it started with this:
Then, I smashed them with a fork:
Then, I spread the smashed berries onto one side of the bread and covered with 5 large basil leaves. (I was a bit wary of this combo...but was so happy with the result!) I topped the other side with the 4 cheese blend and a few chunks of goat cheese.
And voila, Smashed Blackberry & Basil Grilled Cheese:

I will definitely be making this again!

Same here- Goat cheese for
Same here- Goat cheese for the win!! And maybe strawberries?? (since that's what I have) or blueberries! The possibilities are endless!
I just made this after seeing your post. This recipe was just the perfect combination of flavors!! I substituted the blackberries for some Organic raspberry preserves, used provolone and feta cheese, and added some crumbled extra firm tofu. I woofed it down so fast, I forgot to take a picture! Thanks for sharing this DIVINE post! Yum!
Ok So I did not have all the ingredients and improvised as well, Wheat bread, I did have fresh basil from the garden, and I used Goat's milk Brie, I did use the olive oil to toast in my cast iron skillet, and it was delicious, I would make this again, great way to use up blackberries than just eating them by themselves. Thanks for
the recipe, info.

Curriculum Vitae
Johanna Ray Vollhardt received a Diplom (German equivalent to B.A. and M.A. combined) in Psychology from the University of Cologne in 2004. She received a Ph.D. in Social Psychology (with a concentration in the Psychology of Peace and Violence) from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in May 2009. She joined Clark University in September 2009.
Current Research and Teaching
Dr. Vollhardt's research focuses on the psychological impact of group-based victimization on people's social identity and on relations with members of other groups. She is interested in the underlying social psychological processes and conditions that give rise to constructive, rather than destructive outcomes of the experience of victimization. Her current research is concerned with inclusive and exclusive victim consciousness, acknowledgment, and other ways in which inclusive victim consciousness can be facilitated. Another area of research examines various aspects of the psychology of genocide. Dr. Vollhardt conducts research among ethnic, religious and national (minority) groups in the U.S., Europe, India, and East Africa. She also collaborates with the NGO Radio La Benevolencija in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In October 2010, she organized a conference on the Psychology of Genocide and its Aftermath at Clark University.
Dr. Vollhardt is currently teaching courses on experimental research methods and on the social psychology of intergroup relations and ethnic conflict.

The ship, Abandon All Hope has a bad name & a Captain. Not the best start. I'm sure the players would like to fill the role of ship's Captain. I like the name "Wild Aegis" for a ship. It should be optimistic. The more you lend to players, the more interest, but that's just me. You have a point or two that are yours exclusively. Again, not the best start. Players need to feel their choices make the game.
Regardless, I'm interested in this, depending on what character I can be and how my decisions impact your story. Keep in mind, from a logical perspective, the very best stories can be broken to pieces by player intention.

Back To Recruiting
Hokies Aim to Take Back Tidewater
By Matt Smith
Follow us at Twitter.com/SouthernPigskin. Become a fan at the SouthernPigskin.com Facebook Page
Virginia and Virginia Tech are engaged in heated recruiting battles in Virginia's most fertile recruiting grounds.
The overwhelming sentiment about the current state of major college football is that the further south a school is, the easier it is to win. The exact opposite has been the case in the ACC Coastal Division. VirginiaTech and Virginia, the two schools that are farthest north in the division, played for an ACC Championship Game berth last season on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
How has that happened in an era where the SEC has dominated the national scene? To find out, you don't even need to leave the Commonwealth. You do, however, have to venture east from the picturesque hills and mountains that cover the western part of the state, where both Virginia and Virginia Tech are located.
This week marks the 150th anniversary of the Seven Days Battles in eastern Virginia, the second most deadly battle in the Civil War behind only Gettysburg. A century and a half later, a battleground once again lies along the eastern seaboard of Virginia. While not as lethal as the Seven Days Battles, it's just as competitive.
The Tidewater, the coastal region in the southeast part of the state that includes Hampton Roads, Newport News, Norfolk and Virginia Beach, is a key reason for the prosperity of the Cavaliers and Hokies. The most successful quarterbacks in the history of both schools, Virginia's Aaron Brooks and Virginia Tech's Michael Vick, hail from the Tidewater. Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech dominated the region for much of the 2000's, and won nine of the 10 meetings with Virginia in the decade. That all began to change in 2010, however, when Virginia hired Richmond's Mike London to replace the oft-maligned Al Groh.
Having coached in the state every year but one since 2001, London's connections within the state were a major selling point. In the class of 2010, signed just after London's hiring, the Cavaliers inked only one of the state's top 30 players, according to Rivals.com rankings. 10 of those 30 landed in Blacksburg with Virginia Tech.
Two years later, the situation was much different. In the 2012 class, 17 of the state's top 20 players stayed in-state. Six of those 17 signed with Virginia, including the state's top player, defensive end Eli Harold, a Virginia Beach native. All in all, the Cavaliers landed 10 players from the Tidewater. The Hokies? Just four.
The landscape truly began to change in 2011, London's first full class. Three of the top five Tidewater players signed with Virginia, while the other two left the state. Beamer has stuck to his guns during his quarter-century in charge of the Hokies, but realized it was time to regain control of some the ACC's most fertile recruiting grounds.
He brought back a familiar face, his son Shane, who had been the recruiting coordinator for Steve Spurrier at South Carolina, helping land the Palmetto State's top player three years in a row – Alshon Jeffery in 2009 (despite Lane Kiffin telling Jeffery he'd work at a gas station if he signed with the Gamecocks), Marcus Lattimore in 2010 and Jadeveon Clowney in 2011. While working at Mississippi State in the mid-2000's, he landed another five-star recruit - his wife, Emily.
The Hokies were never known for top-ranked recruiting classes, instead succeeding with blue-collar players symbolized by the lunch pail that the Hokies keep with them on the sidelines during each game. Despite that formula leading the Hokies to seven conference titles in 16 seasons from 1995-2010, Beamer recognized London was raising the stakes, and brought his son back to Blacksburg.
The younger Beamer spent his first 11 years in coaching away from Virginia Tech, attempting to prove he could succeed without working under his father. He did that and more, and returned home to Blacksburg in February 2011. With the help of Tidewater recruiters Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome, the Hokies have already received commitments from five Tidewater players in the 2013 class, one more than they signed in all of 2012. National Signing Day is over seven months away.
The first major coup was landing four-star quarterback Bucky Hodges from Virginia Beach. Virginia was also heavily recruiting Hodges, but he committed to the Hokies during their spring game in April. At 6'5" and already 225 pounds, the Hokies already foresee another Logan Thomas in their future with Hodges. A teammate of Hodges, three-star linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka, has also committed to Virginia Tech. Add in athlete Deon Newsome from Hampton, and that's three of the top six Tidewater prospects that have already committed to Virginia Tech.
Virginia was able to land another Virginia Beach quarterback, Corwin Cutler, but he is much less heralded than Hodges. Cutler's only other scholarship offers are from Connecticut, East Carolina and Marshall. Three-star wide receiver Zack Jones of Chesapeake is the only other Tidewater player that has committed to the Cavaliers.
Plenty of top prospects in the area remain uncommitted, led by four-star Virginia Beach running back Taquan Mizzell. Both schools are in the running for the player known as "Smoke". The proverbial biggest fish in the water is 2014 defensive tackle Andrew Brown, who holds offers from both schools and is rated the No. 2 player in the entire country by 24/7 Sports. He also holds offers from schools such as Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, Ohio State and Penn State.
Although not from the Tidewater, the No. 1 prospect in the 2014 class also hails from the Commonwealth. Defensive end Da'Shawn Hand of Woodbridge, about 30 minutes south of Washington, D.C., has 22 offers, a list even more impressive than that of Brown.
The rivalry between the Cavaliers and Hokies hasn't really developed like it should between two division foes which are the only two FBS programs in the state. When one team wins 12 of 13 games, it's hard to establish a heated rivalry. Although the result of last year's game was more of the same for the disgruntled Virginia fanbase (38-0 Virginia Tech), the game was played with the Coastal Division title on the line for just the second time. It's not unrealistic to think the same thing could happen in this year's meeting, Nov. 24 at Lane Stadium.
With more and more out-of-state programs beginning to focus on the Tidewater, the metaphorical fence that Virginia and Virginia Tech had built around the region has gone the way of the Berlin Wall. However, it still produces the most talent of any region in the state. Both coaches, if they can no longer own it, at least want to sign more four-year "leases" there than anyone else.
It's not quite the Seven Days Battle, but more like the Seven Years Battle. The future success of the two programs is heavily dependent on how well they can recruit the Tidewater. The Hokies have called London's raise. Who will fire the next shot?

("Independência") in connection with Independência's approximately $1.1 billion of bank and bond indebtedness. Independência filed for the local equivalent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Brazil in February. Since that time, Independência has been in extended negotiations with its creditors in an effort to restructure the company's debt in light of reduced demand and revenues caused by the global financial crisis. On November 6, Independência's restructuring plan was approved by creditors holding approximately 70% of the company's debt. The restructuring plan is subject to the final approval of the Brazilian bankruptcy court.

The Pillars of Planning: Mission, Values, Vision His inability to grasp "the vision thing" was an important part of George Bush's undoing in the '92 election; but he's not the only one to have a hard time articulating wishes and dreams for the future. In over twenty years of consulting with organizations of every stripe, I've seen again and again how groups are brought to crisis by conflicts over basic issues of mission, values, and vision. Without these basic agreements in place, no organization is truly viable. Mission, values, and vision are the glue that holds an organization together. They describe what you're trying to do, how you want to go about it, and where you're headed. Knowing these things helps to keep your organization on track. It gives you a yardstick you can always use to measure your present performance and plans against your aspirations. They also sound abstract, new age, and downright jet-puffed to a lot of people, especially those who are burning to move forward with a real-world project, and don't want to hang back jawboning about people's wishes and dreams. Many people who style themselves as "pragmatic" get away with skipping over this important stage of building a strong foundation of consensus for their organizing. If you don't take the time to articulate mission, values, and vision on the front end, you'll pay for it later. In our consulting practice, we're often called in to work with organizations when their staffs or boards are locked into what are described as "personality conflicts." A little exploration reveals not irreconcilable personalities, but real differences on issues about governance, finances, purpose and program. The contenders' personal styles and entire beings have come to stand in for unresolved tensions concerning mission, values, and vision. John is a compulsive organizer; he's worried about taking risks, especially financial risks. Lisa is spontaneous and improvisatory; she's worried that the organization will lose its soul by pinning everything down. Each has collected a little camp of supporters, and every issue that comes up is ammunition in their competition. No one is talking about the deeper questions this competition obscures: what they want to accomplish as an organization, and what measure of risk-taking and improvisation are appropriate to that mission and their values. At this stage, it takes extraordinary time and effort -- and no small measure of mutual forgiveness -- to get the organization back on track again. The time to articulate mission, values, and vision is now - at the outset of an organization's life, if possible, and at the first opportunity if the organization is already underway. Each element has its distinct characteristics and role in organizational life:
Most people can relate to a personal vision, their personal values, their mission in life. But when two or more people agree to work together, the difficulties of arriving at such articulations multiply. When you want to bring new people in, you must give them ways to participate in the vision of the organization. Everyone's preferences and abilities must be taken into account for a group to work together optimally. What this means practically is that group members need focused opportunities to exchange ideas and make decisions about group mission, values and vision. Exploring and agreeing on fundamentals of purpose and process most often takes place in face-to-face group meetings, through facilitated discussion. One way to focus such a meeting is to lead a "guided fantasy" of the group's activities five or ten years down the line, then discuss the ideas it brought up and have a working group prepare a draft after the meeting, summarizing the results. Doing an exercise like this can encourage people to develop their visions, loosening imaginative powers rather than falling into a polarized argument. Many other approaches are also possible, such as:
On the grandest scale, a group with the large ambition of serving the entire community can enlarge the process by inviting a wider public to contribute to their vision through community meetings or arts events. Using methods such as those listed above can bring more people into the envisioning process, demonstrating the organization's commitment to listening. Not everyone approaches articulating mission, values, and vision in the same way. It's important to recognize and respect diverse approaches to questions of ultimate purpose in a group. Some are fired with a passionate vision of something specific that needs doing. Others have a more general view of how they'd like the future to look, and more tentative notions about how to get there. Still others do best at identifying and analyzing problems and working through to solutions. Others may be motivated by the desire to work with people they respect or admire, or to get to know new people with whom they share interests. Different ways of defining a group's mission and values may seem foolish or even alarming to some organizers; but organizations are strongest when many aptitudes, interests, and points-of-view can pull together. Since questions of mission may evoke differing bedrock assumptions, discussing them can be complicated. Participants in such discussions must be aware of many considerations:
In my experience, mission, values, and vision don't come neatly packaged in separate mental compartments. Instead, they are braided together in people's hearts and minds. For planning purposes, I have always striven to keep the process as open as possible. Instead of focusing a group on filling in each separate blank of mission, values, and vision in turn, I invite everyone to share the entire picture of what they'd like to see the group doing and how. For some people, it will be most comfortable to focus on the purpose of the organization itself: its mission. Others will naturally begin imagining how the world will change as the result of the group's work, the array of things they'd like it to do: their vision. And others will find themselves thinking first about how the kinds of groups the organization should involve and how they should work with each other and the public: elements of the organization's values. After welcoming all these contributions, planners can easily review the results of the brainstorming session and harvest what is needed to formulate mission, values and vision statements. The alternative approach -- trying to engage a whole group of dreamers in drawing fine distinctions between what's a vision and what's a value -- can easily dampen enthusiasm and cooperation.
