// This pattern gives you full control of how JavaScript steps through an array loop, and is an alternative of using array.forEach or a "for" loop. 
// The best use case for this is if you need to wait for operations like ajax requests to complete before continuing the loop.

var array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7];

var looper = function(item){
	if(item){
		// do an ajax request, or some operation that takes time
		fireAjaxRequest(item, function(results){
			// do something with the results, then continue the loop

           <p>&quot;True to the name, this is more of a poke on rice bowl, rather than a spicy ahi don (spicy ahi on rice bowl).  The ahi is like most poke, larger chunks. Also, i really really like their poke because it is fresh and warm and stuffs. They season it with lots of goods like onions and other things which are tasty.&quot; <span>- Don 03/04/09</span></p>
