Bootstrap show many move one carousel modification
Thanks for looking at this. I have concluded that I am happy with the code. 

To incorporate the valid suggest by @vmariano, I have split this off into its own variable. This does make sense from a best-practices viewpoint as once I clone the item it is no longer itemToClone it is a clonedItem.

Final code:

(function(){
  $('.carousel-showmanymoveone .item').each(function(){
    var itemToClone = $(this);

    for (var i=1;i&lt;4;i++) {
      itemToClone = itemToClone.next();

      // wrap around if at end of item collection
      if (!itemToClone.length) {
        itemToClone = $(this).siblings(':first');
      }

      // grab item, clone, add marker class, add to collection
      var clonedItem = itemToClone.children(':first-child').clone();
      clonedItem.addClass("cloneditem-"+(i))
         .appendTo($(this));
    }
  });
}());
