iPhone battery life problems in iOS 7? We've got brilliant battery-saving tricks and tips that will help you keep the iPhone's battery running all day long. Here's how to improve your iPhone's battery life in iOS 7. Updated 11th October 2013
Since iOS 7 was launched, many iPhone users have reported that battery life has got worse. In some cases this may be an illusion - we've read one site pointing out that you may have simply used your phone more frequently since updating to iOS 7 because of the interesting new features, which would obviously make it less likely to survive the day without needing a top-up. But there are legitimate issues with battery life in iOS 7, and steps you can take to improve matters.
Here, then, are the best ways to improve your iPhone's battery life in iOS 7, from system-wide settings worth tweaking to third-party apps that you should stop - or start- using in order to preserve battery life.
How to update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 7 | How to replace an iPhone battery that's not working
Battling iPhone battery drain
It sounds obvious to say your iPhone's battery is drained quicker the more you use your phone, but how fast it falls from 100 percent to nothing entirely depends on what apps you use. Heavy use of the processor and GPU, for 3D games, or the GPS chip, for maps and location-based apps, uses up more energy than reading content in iBooks, for example.
If you're addicted to games with rich, detailed visuals, such as Infinity Blade 3, or 3D racing games like CSR Racing, your iPhone's battery will be drained quickly, so if you're away from a charger and waiting for an important call, playing these sort of games is not a good idea if your battery levels are already low.
Infinity Blade 3
One of the single biggest drains of battery life is the antenna, because it's constantly checking for nearby cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Simply moving about with the phone in your pocket will drain its battery, as it moves from within range of one base station or access point to another, even if you never connect to them.
Improve iPhone battery life: system preferences
You can perform some tweaks in iOS to save battery life. A great place to start is by putting the phone into flight mode, whenever you know you don't need to make, or receive, calls. Perhaps when you're on a long train journey and just want to relax with some music. In iOS 7, that can be switched on and off in Control Centre.
iOS 7's Control Centre menu. Tap the aeroplane icon (top left) to activate or deactivate Airplane Mode
This effectively turns your iPhone into an offline iPod touch. It saves a considerable amount of battery life, but you won't be able to receive SMS, use Maps or receive any data from the internet, for apps such as Facebook. Just remember to turn Flight Mode off when you need to use your phone again.
Lighting the pixels on the Retina display requires a lot of energy, so you can save some battery life by adjusting the phone's brightness, again in Control Centre, via a slider. If you venture into Settings, setting the Auto-Lock option under General to turn off after one minute of inactivity will also provide a substantial improvement to battery life over time.
Another tip is to turn off the parallax effect that's new to iOS 7, which makes your icons and notifications appear to float over the wallpaper. It's a nice effect, but constantly uses the iPhone's GPU. Switching it off can save some more of your battery.
Once again, open up Settings, and tap on General, then Accessibility. Scroll down to Reduce Motion, tap on it, then set it to On.
Improve iPhone battery life: Surgical Strikes
Changing these system-wide settings is a quick and easy way to save battery life. You can be cleverer than that, though. If you dig a little deeper into your iPhone's settings, you can make further tweaks to how each app behaves, to minimise background network use or turn-off notifications from certain non-critical apps.
Each time a notification is received, the iPhone's screen lights up and it plays a sound, which uses energy. If you get a lot of notifications every day, this adds up to a small percentage of your daily battery charge.
Although we don't want to miss important emails, we can live without updates about Angry Birds, so it makes sense to turn off notifications for non-critical apps.
Go into Settings, then Notification Centre. Towards the bottom, you'll see a list of the iPhone's built-in apps, as well as third-party apps installed on your handset. Tap on each one you're not interested in, and select the None option to disable it.
Tweaking the notifications settings (left) and background app refresh options (right) can help preserve iPhone battery life
Improve iPhone battery life: Background App Refresh
Before iOS 7, if you switched between apps by double tapping the home button, the old app would be put into a frozen state, with only limited use of any system resources. iOS 7 allows background apps to periodically refresh their data though, so when you load the app back up, you'll see the latest updates immediately. This happens only a few times a day.
Disabling this seems to be an obvious choice if you're putting your iPhone on a battery-usage diet. Go into Settings, then General, then tap on Background App Refresh. You can switch it off entirely, or prevent specific apps from updating.
Improve iPhone battery life: Use a third-party app
Just face it, life's too short to spend forever and a day figuring out which apps are battery hogs, and which aren't. That's why we're fans of BatterySaver by KS Mobile, a tool that offers a broad range of system tweaks, with a particular focus on saving battery life.
The app's main screen shows an estimate for how much battery life is remaining, based on what's running in the background, and your current system settings. If you perform some of the tweaks suggested above, you'll see this number creep up. Switching on flight mode on our iPhone 4s raised the battery life from 17 hours to 21.
Tap on Available Time to see a breakdown of how long your iPhone will last performing specific tasks, such as talk time, 3D gaming and so on. You might be surprised to see that Audio Playback isn't particularly draining on the battery.
Optimize provides some suggestions of further system tweaks that can extend your battery life. If you've forgotten to disable GPS or another setting, you'll see that here.
If you scroll down slightly, then tap on Power Usage, you're presented with a list of system apps, along with a list of apps installed on your iPhone, and a corresponding rating of how much battery life they'll use. Google Earth, an app that uses GPS, internet data, and 3D graphics, unsurprisingly is listed as a level 5 battery hog. BatterySaver even estimates the exact amount of energy the app uses (7.2m/AH per minute).
We're less enthusiastic about the app's slightly silly scores, achievement system and medals you receive for making saving battery life, as if it was an Xbox game. But although it's slightly ridiculous, this system does at least encourage you to regularly keep your iPhone energy consumption under control.
We hope that some of these tips we've suggested mean you get more life from your iPhone when you're away from your trusty Lightning or 30-pin charging cable.
Our final suggestion, if you still need more battery life, is to consider an external battery pack, or a case with one built in. There are many on the market that are worth considering. Check our reviews section for more ideas.

Since its arrival in the NU tier, Scolipede has single-handedly defined Spikes-stacking offensive teams thanks to its combination of fantastic Speed, above average Attack, and a high Base Power STAB move. What makes it even more fearsome is its versatility; Scolipede has a wide variety of viable moves to utilize, and it can even run a bulkier spread or a boosting sweeper set. In fact, one of Scolipede's only drawbacks—its typing—can also be played to its advantage. Despite some weaknesses to common attacking types, Scolipede also boasts a 4x resistance to Fighting- and Grass-type moves that can help it set up against many of the tier's common threats.
This is Scolipede's most popular set, and for good reason: its combination of great Speed, power, and coverage makes it both a great Spikes user and a great attacker. Spikes is the first move on this set, and it's by far the most important one. Scolipede's ability to get up Spikes quickly is what makes it so effective. Megahorn is the best STAB Scolipede has, and it's used to compensate a bit for Scolipede's Attack stat, which is decent at best. Aqua Tail hits Pokemon that Scolipede otherwise struggles to defeat, such as Golurk, and has great neutral coverage alongside its Bug-type STAB. Swords Dance allows Scolipede to increase its offensive potential and put serious dents in an opposing team, giving it a choice between setting up Spikes or sweeping depending on the situation. However, Rock Slide can be used instead to hit Flying-types for super effective damage, while having a nice chance to flinch which works well with congruence with Scolipede's fantastic Speed. It's worth noting that either Swords Dance or Rock Slide works fine with Life Orb, but as Rock Slide isn't very strong without a boost, only Swords Dance should be used with Focus Sash.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While it might seem outclassed by other Spikes users, such as Garbodor and Roselia, a bulkier spread also works well on Scolipede, sacrificing some of the immediate power of the offensive set in exchange for more chances to set up hazards. What sets bulky Scolipede apart from other Spikes users is its greater offensive presence and Speed. This set plays best on balanced offensive teams that prefer more consistent hazards over getting them set up more quickly. Both Spikes and Toxic Spikes are used on this set, as they can both be helpful in different situations. Megahorn is used for a STAB move, and it still hits fairly hard even with minimal investment. The choice in the last slot is between Aqua Tail and Toxic. The former has the best two-move coverage alongside Megahorn, while the latter can be used to poison Flying-types and Pokemon with Levitate. It also comes in handle during the times when your opponent has a Poison-type to absorb Toxic Spikes, but you still need a means of poisoning the opposing Pokemon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Scolipede's SubSalac set completely forgoes the utility of Spikes in exchange for the ability to play as a setup sweeper and a stallbreaker. This set is very powerful; even Alomomola, one of the tier's bulkiest physical walls, cannot stomach two Megahorns from a +2 Scolipede. Swords Dance is used as it's Scolipede's best boosting move, propelling its Attack to 612 after one boost. Substitute is used for many reasons—to ease prediction for Scolipede, help it get down to Salac Berry range, and even to be passed on variants with Baton Pass. Megahorn is once again used as Scolipede's most powerful STAB move. Finally, Aqua Tail can be used to round out Scolipede's coverage if you're keen on Scolipede's sweeping ability. However, if you would rather help another teammate sweep, you can use Baton Pass to make sure its Swords Dance and Salac Berry boosts don't go to waste.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
While Scolipede has many different options for some of its sets, it doesn't have much potential outside of that. Still, there are some additional options you might be considering. A Choice Scarf or Choice Band set might seem appealing, but other Pokemon typically perform these roles better. Iron Defense and Agility seem like interesting options for a dedicated Baton Pass set, but Scolipede's bulk makes it difficult to set up multiple boosts. More importantly, Scolipede typically has much better things to be doing. Endeavor is an option on sets wielding a Focus Sash, bringing the opposing Pokemon down to one HP in many instances. Superpower is an interesting choice, as Fighting-type coverage is rarely a bad thing. However, it really doesn't add much in terms of coverage, and the Attack drop can force you to switch out, losing any offensive momentum you might have gained. Poison Jab is an interesting choice for a secondary STAB to hit Fighting- and Flying-type Pokemon that resist its Bug-type STAB, but outside of this, it's not worth using. Finally, Sunny Day is an interesting option that works well on sun teams with Scolipede's high base Speed, though it is already pressed for moveslots as it is.
Checks and Counters
There are few Pokemon that can stop Scolipede from setting at least one layer of Spikes without sacrificing themselves. Golem is one of few, as it is able to Rock Blast Scolipede, ignoring the possibility of a Focus Sash saving it. Misdreavus can handle most Scolipede well, as it can take any unboosted hit easily, break Scolipede's Substitutes, burn it, and Taunt it to keep it from setting up Spikes or boosting with Swords Dance. Golbat can tank multiple Rock Slides from Scolipede, use Roost to recover the damage, Taunt to prevent it from setting up, and retaliate with Brave Bird. Alomomola can take any hit from Scolipede's Spikes sets, but it can't do much to keep it from setting up. Weezing can also take any hit from Scolipede, Haze its boosts away, and attack it with Flamethrower or Fire Blast. Frillish, although a rare sight in NU, can wall almost any move Scolipede has to hit it with and burn it in return. If all else fails, faster Pokemon and those wielding a Choice Scarf can revenge kill it. Jynx, Primeape, Charizard, and Zebstrika all have moves that can OHKO offensive Scolipede, and they all outspeed it with a Choice Scarf, while Swellow can outspeed it without a Choice Scarf and OHKO it with Brave Bird.

Recent political debates about the environment appropriatelanguage from churches in an attempt to lend moral legitimacy to the urgent andsometimes frenzied conversation.One example is the prevalence of the term "stewardship." Legislation introduced by SenatorsMcCain and Lieberman concerning global warming has become well-known by itspopular moniker, TheClimate Stewardship Act.
This appropriation echoes the theological and religiousconcern with stewardship and human sinfulness as related in the early chaptersof the book of Genesis. What isn'toften recognized in the political debate, however, is the diverging characterof the various theological interpretations of stewardship. These divergences are summed by twomajor views on the definition of stewardship, characterized respectively by thewords "preservation" and "production."As illustrated below, the preservationist position, while biblicallybased, does not do justice to the fullness of scriptural witness.
The first position, understood as the preservationist viewof stewardship, is manifest in the Evangelical Environmental Network's EvangelicalDeclaration on the Care of Creation. This view emphasizes the pristine stateof creation before the fall into sin, and understands this "garden" to be theideal toward which we are to bend our efforts. The failure of humankind lies principally in its inabilityto "both sustain creation's fruitfulness and preserve creation's powerfultestimony to its Creator." Thestewardly role of humankind can essentially be seen as maintenance of thecreated status quo . The dominant image of the earthin this view is that of "garden," a fruitful botanical paradise.
The second position is evident in The Cornwall Declarationon Environmental Stewardship . This view emphasizes "productivity" and"proliferation." The"productivity" view of stewardship stresses the unity between the biblicalmandate both to "be fruitful and increase in number" and to "rule over the fishof the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moveson the ground" (Gen. 1:28 NIV).The adherents to the Cornwall Declaration affirm human "potential, asbearers of God's image, to add to the earth's abundance," and recognize theidentity of human beings as both "producers and stewards." We can characterize this view'sdominant image of the created ideal as "city."
The parable of the talents contained in Matthew 25 helpsillustrate the difference between these two positions. Jesus tells the story of a man who goesaway on a trip, and leaves his servants in charge of varying amounts ofwealth. While the owner is away,the first two men double the money entrusted to them through productiveactivity, as each "put his money to work." The third servant, however, buries the money, so that itcould be preserved and saved to be given back to the master upon hisreturn. When the master returns,he praises the productive servants, but rebukes the servant who merelymaintained his master's wealth, saying, "You wicked, lazy servant! ... You shouldhave put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I wouldhave received it back with interest" (Matt. 25:26-27 NIV). Jesus uses this parable in part toillustrate the moral imperative for human beings to be productive stewards withthe gifts we are given. Thisapplies to the mandate of the created world no less than to monetary wealth orspiritual gifts.
Theologians have sometimes used the doctrine "tertiarycreation" to get at this reality.Primary creation is understood as God's creation of the world out ofnothing. Secondary creation refersto God's forming of this material into various shapes and creatures, especiallyas described in Genesis 1. Bycontrast, tertiary creation points to the creative action of human beings,acting as image bearers of God and in the power of his Spirit, who bring outthe created potentiality of the world into new forms, shapes, and technologies. Such things as art, houses, and airplanesfit into this category.
It is in the recognition of this mandate to be productiveand creative stewards that the "productive" view of stewardship is superior tothe "preservation" view. Thus, theCornwall Declaration "views human stewardship that unlocks the potential increation for all the earth's inhabitants as good."
The preservationist view of stewardship often containsbiblical truth as far as it goes, but it stops short of recognizing the fullwitness of Scripture. Instead, itoffers a truncated and inadequate view of stewardship, which can lead todestructive policies. Forinstance, the preservationist view sees fallen humans primarily as destructivepolluters, as menaces to the rest of creation. In this way, preservationists find that environmentaldegradations "are signs that we are pressing against the finite limits God hasset for creation. With continuedpopulation growth, these degradations will become more severe." This line of reasoning leads easilyinto support for various forms of population control.
By contrast, the "productive" view of stewardship does notoppose the fruitfulness and multiplication of human beings (as present in Gen.1:28) with the interests of the rest of the created world. Only by embracing humankind's role asproductive and creative stewards in all matters will we collectively hear thewords of Jesus, "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithfulwith a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share yourmaster's happiness!" (Matt. 25:21 NIV).

The Federal Reserve's asset purchases would be more aggressive than the timeline Chairman Ben Bernanke outlined last week if U.S. economic growth and the labor market turn out weaker than expected, the influential head of the New York Fed said on Thursday.
Pushing back hard against market concerns over the withdrawal of quantitative easing, William Dudley stressed in a speech that the newly adopted timeline for reducing the pace of bond buying depends not on calendar dates but on the economic outlook, which remains quite unclear.
Turning to the question of when the Fed will ultimately raise interest rates, Dudley, a close ally of Bernanke, went so far as to say that recent market expectations for an earlier rate rise are "quite out of sync" with the statements and expectations of the policy-making Federal Open Market Committee.
"Economic circumstances could diverge significantly from the FOMC's expectations," Dudley told reporters at a briefing at the New York Fed's headquarters in downtown New York.
(Read More: Bernanke Bond Announcement Was Poorly Timed: Fed's Bullard)
"If labor market conditions and the economy's growth momentum were to be less favorable than in the FOMC's outlook — and this is what has happened in recent years — I would expect that the asset purchases would continue at a higher pace for longer," he said.
Speaking in Georgia, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart also emphasized that the economy's health will determine the pace of Fed bond buying. "There is no 'predetermined' pace of reductions in the asset purchases, nor is the stopping point fixed. The pace of purchases, the composition of purchases and the ultimate size of the Fed's balance sheet still depend on how economic conditions evolve."
Following a Fed policy meeting last week, Bernanke surprised markets by saying the central bank expected to reduce the $85-billion monthly pace of bond buying later this year and to end the QE3 program altogether by mid-2014, if the economy improves as expected.
Global markets have since fallen sharply, with yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury spiking to near a two-year high.
Dudley, who has a permanent vote on monetary policy, repeated and backed the timeline Bernanke articulated last Wednesday.
But he appeared to want to bolster efforts by some of his Fed colleagues this week to calm investors' worries that less Fed accommodation will hurt the slow U.S. and global economic recovery.
The labor market, which the Fed is targeting with QE3, "still cannot be regarded as healthy," Dudley said, adding "there remains a great deal of slack in the economy."
He expects GDP growth of about 2.1 percent this year, about the same as it has been since the recession ended in 2009. But Dudley expects that to pick up next year.
Frustrated with fitful U.S. recovery from the Great Recession, the central bank has kept the federal funds rate near zero since late 2008 and has promised to keep it there at least until the unemployment rate falls to 6.5 percent from 7.6 percent now, as long as inflation stays below 2.5 percent.
Even under the timeline for reducing QE3, "a rise in short-term rates is very likely to be a long way off," Dudley said.
"Not only will it likely take considerable time to reach the FOMC's 6.5 percent unemployment rate threshold, but also the FOMC could wait considerably longer before raising short-term rates," he said.
According to futures contracts at the Chicago Board of Trade, traders had pushed forward expectations for the first interest-rate hike to late 2014 despite published forecasts that show most Fed policymakers don't expect to tighten until 2015.
The Fed's two main stimulus efforts — QE3 and low rates — are tied in different ways to sustainable economic growth.
Dudley and others at the central bank have long complained that U.S. government spending cuts and higher taxes could undercut the U.S. recovery, which has stumbled in each of the last few years.
Economic growth was revised lower on Wednesday to a below-average 1.8 percent in the first quarter, another worrying sign for the world's largest economy.
"I continue to see the economy as being in a tug-of-war between fiscal drag and underlying fundamental improvement, with a great deal of uncertainty over which force will prevail in the near-term," Dudley said.
Fed Board Governor Jerome Powell also suggested financial markets have overreacted to the prospects of Fed tightening.
"Market adjustments since May have been larger than would be justified by any reasonable reassessment of the path of policy," he said Thursday in a speech at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think-tank.
"To the extent the market is pricing in an increase in the federal funds rate in 2014, that implies a stronger economic performance than is forecast either by most FOMC participants or by private forecasters," he said in prepared remarks, referring to the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee.

Cons – More and More is put on your plate with tighter regulations and restrictions. Recognition not what it used be for loyal and tenured employees. Doing a great job in a particular area only brings higher expectations for the next year until you are bound to fail.

A Welling man was injured Monday morning after a dump truck he was driving overturned.
C.J. Scott, 47, was driving the 2012 Freightliner west on Stone Chapel Road at about 9 a.m. when the dump truck went off the right side of the road on a curve, over-corrected, and rolled one time, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers said. The truck came to a stop on its wheels.
Scott was transported to Tahlequah City Hospital and admitted in stable condition with internal injuries, according to troopers. He was wearing a seat belt when the crash occurred.
Troopers list Scott's condition as normal at the time of the crash, and say unsafe speed on a curve or turn was the cause of the collision.

Jackson takes prize
Cherokee Heritage Center Museum Curator Mickel Yantz kicked off his 10th anniversary at the venue with the opening of the 43rd annual Trail of Tears Art Show this past Friday.
"The Trail of Tears show was my first exhibit opening when I arrived 10 years ago," said Yantz. "Since that time, the show has changed so dramatically; we've added so many new artists, and the art work has excelled over time. It's like Christmas for me."
Yantz said he was exceptionally pleased with the opening reception.
"We had a fantastic turnout," said Yantz. "We had a lot of fun and sold some artwork, which is great for opening night."
The exhibit is on display at the Cherokee Heritage Center through May 26. This year's show features 130 pieces of art spanning eight different categories, including basketry, graphics, jewelry, miniature, painting, pottery and sculpture.
Some NSU students find Church of Monett offensive
They turn heads every time they show up on campus, and some students at Northeastern State University are offended by their presence.
The Church of Monett, Mo., has made periodic trips to Tahlequah to stage quiet demonstrations in public campus spaces in recent years. They carry signs that read, "Wives, Obey your Husbands,"; "To be Married to the divorced is Adultery"; and "Don't be deceived: fornicators homosexuals idolaters adulterers thieves drunkards - shall not inherit God's Kingdom."
Teen sent to hospital after being struck by tractor-trailer
An 18-year-old Tahlequah man was struck by a tractor-trailer early Tuesday morning on the State Highway 51 bypass near Mimosa Lane.
Tahlequah Police Capt. Tom Jones said officers responded to the scene at about 5:40 a.m., when Sage Sohns was found injured and lying in the road. A medical helicopter responded to the scene to transport Sohns to a Tulsa hospital, where he was being treated for a closed-head injury, police said.
TPS board hears architect presentations for cafeteria
Members of the Tahlequah Public Schools Board of Education heard from four architectural firms seeking a contract for construction at Cherokee Elementary School.
TPS plans to build a cafeteria-auditorium and a music room with a stage, which may also serve as a safe room during storms.
Local man hit with assault, burglary charges
Prosecutors have formally charged a Tahlequah man accused of breaking into a motel room, tying a rope around a man's neck and stabbing him repeatedly with a syringe.
Jimmy Dale Briggs Jr., 33, is charged with first-degree burglary, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of threatening to perform an act of violence.
Boy whose mom scolded deputies in trouble again
Cherokee County sheriff's deputies arrested a 15-year-old theft suspect Monday night after he allegedly assaulted his brother.
Deputy Kim Novak said authorities were dispatched to a home and ultimately took the teen into custody. While there, they also discovered items that had been reported stolen, including a bed and several tools.
Novak said the teen is the same boy who has previously been found to be in possession of stolen items.
Plane crash victims recovering
Two Arkansas men remained in a Tulsa hospital Monday after the plane they were flying crashed into a wooded area in Cookson.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the 1946 Ercoupe 415 crashed under "unknown circumstances" about a mile from the Tenkiller Air Park in Cookson Saturday morning.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 75-year-old John McCreary and 85-year-old Albert Demarco Jr., both of Ozark, Ark., were flown from Cookson to St. John Medical Center in Tulsa.
Man taken for blood sample confuses hospital with hotel
Tahlequah police say an Austin, Texas, man stopped Saturday mistook a local hospital for a hotel when he was taken to have his blood drawn.
Officer Cory Keele's affidavit says 20-year-old Terrance Walker was driving south on Muskogee Avenue at about 2 a.m. Saturday, swerving from one line to another.
Keele tried to stop the car near Muskogee and Chickasaw, and Walker eventually slowed to a stop near South Street.
Walker opened the car door as Keele approached. The officer said Walker had dilated pupils.
Knife-cutting incident lands man in jail
A Tahlequah man jailed for allegedly cutting a woman with a kitchen knife was released on a recognizance bond Monday.
Scottie Lee Ennis, 42, was arrested after Officer Austin Yates was sent to Tahlequah City Hospital late Friday night.
There, Yates spoke with Jennifer Pennell, who had apparently suffered a stab wound to her arm.
Pennell told Yates she and her husband, Ennis, had gone to Dewain's Place earlier in the evening, and while at the bar, a man bought her a drink.
Tahlequah man bonds out after arrest for assault
A 22-year-old Tahlequah man bonded out of jail Monday after his weekend arrest on domestic assault charges.
Jeremy Hawley was booked into jail Sunday for domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor and interfering with a 911 call.

Located on historic Magnolia Avenue, the Heritage House is a restored Queen Anne Victorian home. The house was originally built for Mrs. Catharine Bettner in 1891 and represents a typical orange grower's home when the Riverside citrus industry boomed. Even if you are unable to tour the house in person, you can visit the house online through the Heritage House Virtual Tour.
Riverside County possesses a remarkable diversity of plants and plant communities, which is in large part due to the extremes of weather and topography that range across its length, from east to west. To become familiar with the geography of this large county, and ultimately with its natural and cultural history, is to become familiar with the distribution of these plant communities. Visit the online exhibit to learn more about these diverse plant communities.

Dr. Tim Doherty
Director, Center for Faculty Excellence
Department CoordinatorProfessorPh.D., University of Massachusetts, AmherstM.A., University of Massachusetts, AmherstB.A., University of Massachusetts, Amherst

After graduating as an English major from UMass-Amherst in 1983, Tim Doherty spent his first three years after college teaching at the Greenwood School in Putney, Vermont, a private residential school for learning-disabled boys, ages 8-15. While teaching at Greenwood, he spent three summers at the Pine Ridge School outside of Burlington, Vermont as a teacher-trainer in Orton-Gillingham, a multi-sensory, phonics-based remedial reading method for dyslexics. By 1988, he got the itch to return to grad school, beginning his doctoral studies in English at UMass-Amherst, and teaching first-year composition throughout the eight years of his program there. He did a dual concentration in English Renaissance literature and Rhetoric and Composition, completing a dissertation with Peter Elbow entitled "College Writing and the Resources of Theater." That title might suggest something of his values as a teacher of writing: he believes in creating experiences that help people play with language and perspective. Since 1999, he has directed first-year writing and the writing-across-the curriculum program at Rivier.
Academic Philosophy
My teaching life has been dedicated to conversation, enriching talk with students and colleagues. Great conversations—and the writing and presentations that can emerge from them—need a firm starting point, and that takes design and preparation. What should students understand and be able to do as a result of reading, discussion, and writing about a subject? What do they already know, and how can I tap that? What questions do they have, and how can those questions provide a starting point? With the right preparation, I try to establish context and relevance. I have tried to shape first-year writing courses to focus on conflict resolution through the interplay of perspectives and voices. I completed a 40-hour course in community mediation, to see how that might fertilize my approach. Mediators orient themselves to conflict in a way that is open and productive: conflict is something we needn't fear, but rather is natural in community, a chance to use dialogue to make a better, more just world. Today, empathic communication about ethical conflicts seems impossible. When public dialogue is predominantly channeled through major media outlets, and is often characterized by shouting, who can blame students for tuning out? Somehow the classroom needs to offer students a place to negotiate difficult moral judgments and, further, to help them envision public venues for their deliberations beyond the classroom. With two colleagues at Franklin Pierce University, I am working on a book about teaching through uses of role-play, dialogue, and deliberative public forums in order to teach for peace.For all formal essays in my writing courses, I offer feedback and evaluation to writers through five, one-on-one conferences spread across the semester, helping me to connect with students as people, helping them to see me as a writing coach. In this regard, I have learned much from K-12 colleagues in such books as Mary Warner's Winning Ways of Coaching Writing (2001), and Penny Kittle's Write Beside Them (2008). Educational outcomes matter, but it is the chance to discuss them with students themselves that matters most to me.When teaching Shakespeare to both English majors and non-majors, I hold class in a dormitory lounge, pursuing a "rehearsal" approach. Adapting a model of performance-based teaching advocated by The Folger Library in their series Shakespeare Set Free, I opt for fewer plays (five), arranging students in different groups for each play, asking each group to take ownership of a particular Act. Formal and informal writing and research are woven into this cooperative process. With careful planning and ongoing facilitation of the process, I see most college students move from a tentative sense of character and a halting delivery of blank verse to much more fluent, confident performances that enact their interpretations of scenes and do justice to the beauty of Shakespeare's lines. In a sense, they find a Shakespearean voice for themselves.Ultimately, two values drive my teaching: empathy and transformation. The social nature of literacy underscores the promise of language to cultivate peace. Our capacity for empathy, the capacity to imagine others, captures my imagination. I want my professional life to be about that, deeply. Through active, experiential, learner-centered classroom environments and lessons, transformation of each learner is possible. With ample opportunities to engage each other in conversation, students will gain confidence and competence in the art of conversation itself. The same vision I have for students applies to me: conversation brings mutual flourishing. The more present and available I make myself to students, genuinely listening to them, the better their education and the better my teaching life.

I met recently with a client who wanted to add new networking events to his calendar. I asked him where he had been networking, and he mentioned he mostly did evening happy hour events. It was obvious from his body language that he didn't enjoy them.
Remember what I always say. "If you're not enjoying your networking, you're doing it wrong."
I asked him what kinds of activities he enjoyed. His face lit up and he talked about cars and outdoor activities. I thought we could work with those.
Turns out there's a car club he's only been to once. He enjoyed it but he always felt he should be focusing on work. Since the club is for BMW lovers, and his business targets people with high net worth, I suggested maybe it could be about work and fun at the same time.
Outdoor activities turned into a fun idea. He's going to take some of his clients rock climbing. Fun and teamwork in one activity. Think he'll be able to turn those into some referrals?
The moral of this story is don't forget the fun while networking. Some of your hobbies might turn into referrals in ways you haven't realized yet.
So what are your hobbies? Share them in the comments, and let's see if we can't turn them into networking opportunities.

In my book, Thriving in the 21st Century, I warn parents not to send a child to college unless they're college material, are motivated to study and pursue a viable career, and they can afford it. I say these things because the risk of being stuck with a useless college diploma in our challenged economy is high indeed. But at least in this country, if you have a degree you'll be qualified for some type of job, even if it's something that shouldn't require a degree but does, like being a rental car agent.
But in China, the prognosis is even worse for young college grads. Check out this article, which ends with this depressing statement:
Making matters worse for graduates, the "lucky" ones with jobs can expect an average salary of 3,000 yuan per month ($487.89). Netizens have calculated that at this rate, a 2013 graduate will have enough money to purchase a bathroom in the suburbs of Beijing in 10 years, if she doesn't eat and chooses to live on the street.

Ebonised Display Cabinet
Height: 6 feet 3 inches; 185.5 cm. Width: 8 feet 4 1/2 inches; 255.5 cm. extended
c. 1875
"Ebonised Display Cabinet designed by E. W. Godwin, the superstructure with a pair of panelled cupboard doors, flanking open shelves, the lower half with a drop leaf at either side and one long and two short drawers above a shelf flanked by a pair of cupboard doors, with silver-plated mounts and handles throughout.
"Two other versions of this cabinet are known. One cabinet is in the Bristol Art Gallery and the version in the Victoria and Albert Museum is identical save that this example lacks the pressed paper panels. The original design was executed in 1867 although it seems likely that the example in the Victoria and Albert Museum dates from 1877, when it appeared in William Watt's Catalogue. Liberty & Co. began to import the pressed paper from Japan in 1876 and it seems possible therefore that this cabinet predates that in the Victoria and Albert" [Sotheby's catalogue, p. 27].

I didn't do anything real fancy, but they turned out pretty good. Now I just need to maintain. I ended up losing a total of 31 lbs. It feels great to know I completed the full twelve weeks.
I think 20 lbs came off of my back.
nice job! great pictures!
Way to go Jeff!! Congratulations on your successful challenge!! Don't forget to send that packet in!

ROCK ON!! you should take a bow! ENCORE!!!!!!!!
Outstanding job,I especially like the pics where your arms are raised and the one with your arms behind your back .
Does BFL have a calendar? You could be Mr.March. Congratulations
Good job Jeff!! Alot of work. Commitment. New habits. Mental toughness. New attitude. Its all good! I'm on day 64 and looking forward to getting to day 84......in W/O at a time! Are you doing another 12 weeks?
Me and my wife completed the challenge at the same time, and we are going to try to start some sort of maintanace routine, but I will probably start a new 12 weeks in a month or two. The only thing I will do different, is actually sign up for the challenge. I never signed up this time, I just followed the plan 100%. What do you get when you complete the challenge now?
Hey Jeff! Way to go on completing a challenge. If you click on "The Challenge" tab above, the list of prizes are at the bottom of the page. Have a great 2nd challenge!
You look like a new man! The guy in the after pictures is defintley NOT someone I would want to mess with!
Great job!
Man you look great! Wonderful job. Don't let all that hard work go to waste, keep it up.
Stay Strong!
Congrats Jeff - what a fabulous transformation.
Jeff.... GREAT JOB... So I have to ask, at what point in your plan did you start to see the weight dropping and the body transformations? I started week 2 Monday, and although I'm realistic and know the Fat Loss will not come overnight, Just wanting to give myself a reference point to look forward to :)
When I took my six week pictures, I could really see a difference from my before pictures. I would say the after six weeks is when the real results start to show, and not only that, but you are more motivated because you know you are over the hump and more that half way there. Another thing that I think helps me, is I always try and start my free day eating a couple body for life meals, so I get my metabolism going. I noticed that whenever I started a free day just eating suger, I felt like crap the rest of the day.
Jeff, Great job! I am at the beginning of my challenge (day 2), and it's encouraging to see your transformation. Keep up the good work!

The philosophical ideas to conquering burnout are easy to talk about. If we could overcome the "shoulds" in our world we could deal. Taking time for the Lord is not a revolutionary idea. However, I more often hear excuses that involve our schedules. I have made them, "Well, I MUST do that, and that is expected of me, and I can't help it.". I lived off sugar and rarely slept. My health fell apart. So I needed order.
Here are some practical factors to consider in your schedule:
- The "Have To" Factor:
In your scheduling what have you been told by leadership is yours no matter what? What are those things you must do that no one else can do? What are the things that you can do that ONLY you can do that bring the most value to your ministry and give you the most energy? These go to the top of your list.
The Delegation Factor
A mentor once told me that someone else may only be able to perform a task 80% as well as I can, however, if it frees me up to do what is most valued then I need to let it go. Wise words to live by. What CAN you give away? I hear your excuses and I stomp them out. It is not more work. It actually gives you more time in the long run. You never know a parent, volunteer, church, or staff member may actually have been waiting for you to invite them to use their gifts and talents by doing something that was yours.
The Priority Factor
So you have too many things on your list that your Senior Pastor or direct leadership says you are not allowed to give away? You can't move fast enough or accomplish enough? Ask them what they want at the top of your list. I regularly sit down with my "boss," show them what's on my plate and ask what top 3 things they need me to be working on. This helps immediately to know how to put all of your "to do's" in order.
The Personal Factor
My husband is amazing at having boundaries. Others of us not so much. Make sure you are taking time for Bible Study and time with the Lord that is NOT preparing for teaching in any way. Sometimes to best bring our lives out of chaos we must create some order. Schedule in date nights, family time, and vacations in a manner that is written down and NON negotiable.
As youth people too often we make excuses for our disorganization. Just yesterday an acquaintance said to me, "You know youth pastors, they are just flighty." The inclination to just "fly by the seat of your pants" is one of the deep roots of burnout. In any sort of "giftings" test I take, administration is at the bottom of my list. Funny thing is, many people are shocked at this. Why? I have learned this behavior.

Pidgeot is easily one of the most underrated Pokémon in RBY. While it may seem like it can't do much, it can actually hold its own against a lot of OU Pokémon thanks to Mirror Move and its Normal STAB. Pidgeot works best as a supporting Pokémon, either setting up for other Pokémon on your team or sweeping weakened Pokémon. Because there are a lot of things Pidgeot can do, there is no single best set for it. Pidgeot is a decent Pokémon that can work extremely well in UU and can often do well in OU as well, if you use it right.
This moveset is quite effective, but you could use a variety of other moves like Sand-Attack or Fly on Pidgeot successfully. In general, Pidgeot should definitely have Mirror Move and either Hyper Beam or Double-Edge as a basic attacking move. Mirror Move is Pidgeot's signature attack and it helps makes up for its lackluster movepool by letting Pidgeot use its opponent's attacks against them. Using Mirror Move depends a lot on prediction, but Pidgeot's defenses are good enough so that it can take a variety of attacks to send back against the opponents. Double-Edge and Hyper Beam are good basic attacks and finishing moves. Agility and Substitute both work well with Mirror Move by letting you see whether the opposing Pokémon's attack is worth Mirror Moving, and Agility also helps it sweep. Mimic works extremely well with Pidgeot for the same reasons that it works with Zapdos; you can try to get Earthquake from Golem or Rhydon on the switch, as well as something like Thunder Wave from Starmie.
Other Options
As already mentioned, Sand-Attack is an option for inducing switches, and Fly is a STAB option. Reflect can be considered for defensive purposes, but it's not like it'll do him any good against Rhydon or Golem. Swift, Quick Attack, and Sky Attack are all decent attacks that Pidgeot could benefit from, given the situation.
Checks and Counters
Golem and Rhydon both resist Pidgeot's moves while beating it with Rock Slide. Gengar cannot be hit by Pidgeot using Normal moves, and can easily beat it with Thunderbolt. Starmie can beat it with Thunderbolt or Blizzard, while at the same time recovering off damage it takes from Pidgeot. Electric-types will pretty obviously beat it with Thunderbolt as well. Cloyster has a huge Defense stat to absorb damage, and will be able to Blizzard Pidgeot to a quick KO.
In UU, Aerodactyl will beat Pidgeot, and Poliwrath will switch in to use Amnesia if it finds out you aren't using Fly. Omastar and Kabutops take little damage from Pidgeot and can Blizzard it. Likewise, Onix takes little damage from all of Pidgeot's moves and can use Rock Slide to be an effective counter.

I find it easy to be bitter about what my son Henry and my family is going through.
Time to count my blessings.
1. He's too young to be scared about the future, but old enough to be verbal enough to tell us what's going on.
2. His older sisters. They keep our spirits up with their bouncing and laughing and general full-of-life-ness.
3. We live close enough to a major academic hospital that Henry is going to get top notch care.
4. We have had an outpouring of support from friends, family, coworkers, etc. It's been truly humbling.
5. My employer has been supportive, gracious, and flexible with me. What a luxury.
I'll add to the list as I remember more. My blessings have indeed been on my mind.

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Damon Vix didn't have to go to court to push Christmas out of the city of Santa Monica. He just joined the festivities.
A man walks past two of the traditional nativity scenes at Palisades Park in Santa Monica, Calif., in December 2011. The city eliminated the holiday tradition this year rather than see a repeat of disputes and vandalism related to competing messages of Christians and atheists.
2011 File Photo/The Associated Press
Avowed atheist Damon Vix stands in front of the display he set among other, traditional holiday displays in Palisades Park in Santa Monica, Calif., last year. Vix last year won two-thirds of the booths in the annual, city-sponsored lottery to divvy up spaces in the life-sized display. But he put up only one thing: A sign that read "Religions are all alike – founded on fables and mythologies."
2011 File Photo/The Associated Press
The atheist's anti-God message alongside a life-sized nativity display in a park overlooking the beach ignited a debate that burned brighter than any Christmas candle.
Santa Monica officials snuffed the city's holiday tradition this year rather than referee the religious rumble, prompting churches that have set up a 14-scene Christian diorama for decades to sue over freedom of speech violations. Their attorney will ask a federal judge Monday to resurrect the depiction of Jesus' birth, while the city aims to eject the case.
"It's a sad, sad commentary on the attitudes of the day that a nearly 60-year-old Christmas tradition is now having to hunt for a home, something like our savior had to hunt for a place to be born because the world was not interested," said Hunter Jameson, head of the nonprofit Santa Monica Nativity Scene Committee that is suing.
Missing from the courtroom drama will be Vix and his fellow atheists, who are not parties to the case. Their role outside court highlights a tactical shift as atheists evolve into a vocal minority eager to get their non-beliefs into the public square as never before.
Earlier this year, national atheist groups took out full-page newspaper ads and hundreds of TV spots in response to the Catholic bishops' activism on women's health care issues, and are gearing up to battle for their own space alongside public Christmas displays in towns across America this season.
"In recent years, the tactic of many in the atheist community has been, if you can't beat them, join them," said Charles Haynes, a senior scholar at the First Amendment Center and director of the Newseum's Religious Freedom Education Project in Washington. "If these church groups insist that these public spaces are going to be dominated by a Christian message, we'll just get in the game – and that changes everything."
In the past, atheists primarily fought to uphold the separation of church and state through the courts. The change underscores the conviction held by many nonbelievers that their views are gaining a foothold, especially among young adults.
The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life released a study last month that found 20 percent of Americans say they have no religious affiliation, an increase from 15 percent in the last five years. Atheists took heart from the report, although Pew researchers stressed that the category also encompassed majorities of people who said they believed in God but had no ties with organized religion, and people who consider themselves "spiritual" but not "religious."
"We're at the bottom of the totem pole socially, but we have muscle and we're flexing it," said Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation. "Ignore our numbers at your peril."
The trouble in Santa Monica began three years ago, when Vix applied for and was granted a booth in Palisades Park alongside the story of Jesus Christ's birth, from Mary's visit from the Angel Gabriel to the traditional creche.
Vix hung a simple sign that quoted Thomas Jefferson: "Religions are all alike – founded on fables and mythologies." The other side read "Happy Solstice." He repeated the display the following year, but then upped the stakes significantly.
In 2011, Vix recruited 10 others to inundate the city with applications for tongue-in-cheek displays such as an homage to the "Pastafarian religion," which would include an artistic representation of the great Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The secular coalition won 18 of 21 spaces. Two others went to the traditional Christmas displays, and one to a Hanukkah display.

Stopped here early on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. Having been a fan of GD beers for quite awhile now, I was pretty excited to check the place out.
At first glance the ambience was pretty unremarkable, but there was plenty of energy with a packed room of 20 to 30 somethings. In fact, it was body-to-body full. There is also an outdoor section, but at about the width of a sidewalk, doesn't alleviate much of the indoor crowding. The bartenders were great - responsive and competent despite the crowds. In fact, I would say some of the best I can remember in my many brewery/brewpub visits.
Otherwise, the beer selection was good - I didn't see anything in the way of one-off taproom only type beers, but 6-8 Great Divide beers on tap is a very good thing no matter which they happen to be. As a whole, it was a good beer drinking experience, but would have been much improved had there been adequate room to stand, let alone sit. Given the downtown location, I'd expect they would look to gain more space, but then again, my experience was limited to a single visit.

Great Divide ended up being my favorite place that I went while in Denver.
To begin with, this place is extremely reasonable. 4 oz. samplers of pretty much everything, including Oak Yeti, for $1. That is a fantastic deal. The only beer that was more expensive was Peach Grand Cru.
Tour guide was awesome. The bartenders were very friendly, had a great sense of humor, and weren't overly concerned with keeping tabs of everything you drank. Service was as good as it could be.
Then, the beer. My favorite places to go are those where the worst beers are good, and the best are excellent. Great Divide fits this description. I really enjoyed all 10+ beers I tried, and several were rated 4.25 or over.
This is a place I would certainly enjoy heading back to. Looking forward to seeing their new space that their planning as well some day. Cheers to you Great Divide, you're really killing it!

Happy I decided to drop in on a recent trip to Denver. Was surprised at how small the taproom was. A small, 10 person bar and maybe 5-10 tables / booths. Still really comfortable but can imagine this place gets really crowded on a Friday or Saturday. Had a Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti and it was amazing. Would love to go back and spend some more time.

Stopped by Great Divide Brewing a couple times while hitting up Denver downtown area. Both times it has been packed full of people but the bartender still manages to push out beer faster then the average place on an average night. I had a couple of their limited release brews on tap as well as the usual Yeti, and all were fantastic. They do have beer to go in a small cooler in a corner and the price is decent. Seating can be hard to find but most people hang around the bar area so you might be able to find a seat pretty quick. If you make your way to the back of the seating area you'll notice the huge see-through windows that allow you to watch the brewers as they make their sweet nectar. Overall a must go-to brewery if you're in the area with plenty of places to visit nearby.

Visited May 2013:
Stopped in on a Thursday after work and found the place to be full, but not overly so. I tried to stop in on Monday, but the place closed at some crazy early hour, which I found to be odd, but given its location (still in the downtown area, but off the path for most), I can see why. The place had a good vibe, relaxed, and the bartenders were welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable about the beer. Each beer that I had was served in a proper pint glass and I think that they were only $5, which to be honest is not that bad. I had both the Nomad and the Rye Hoss, both excellent and I wish that I could get them in Georgia. They must have had 12 taps going that evening. No food options and they don't take AMEX, but overall, the next time that I stop in Denver, I am stopping in.

Me and my Corn Dog went there on our Colorado trip. Its awesome looking at it from the outside because it is smack dab in the middle of downtown and one lot is the rather small brewpub and the other lot is this mass amount of giant fermenters and grain mills. Inside was pretty hoppin, lots of peeps, not a lot of room though. Kinda crammed. But very friendly employees, all the regular Great Divide beer offerings were there, plus a couple barrel aged versions in bottles that I couldn't afford on my vacation budget, plus they had the 19th Anniversary on tap. I didn't get any food but I saw them serving tacos. They looked kinda ok, but I'm from Texas so....come on. I've had the best of the best tacos. We sat outside and chatted with some locals. Very good times. I could see that as a quick spot to get outta the sun and grab a quick beer.

Great Divide is a staple in Denver. Large selection or amazing beers makes it easy to come back to Great Divide over and over again. I wish they had a few more experimental beers on tap, but with the large selection they have I cannot be too upset.
Good luck getting a seat on a weekend. While they doubled the space of their taproom, it is still quite small. There is a small patio outside and on a sunny day those seats are prime real estate. They have a great food truck selection parked outside almost every day. They also have quite a bit of beer to go on site and the AHA discount on beer to go is great.
While the tap room is small and can get quite noisy, GDBC is a must for all Denver visitors and residents alike.

If you're going to be in Denver this is a must visit. My wide and I were visiting some friends in Denver and they took us to Golden and thought I'd like to take a tour of the Coors facility. I guess they could see that my wife and I weren't too jazzed about it so we drove back to Denver and stopped by Great Divide - best decision ever. My wife got the espresso oak aged Yeti and the Denver pale ale. I tried the Hoss rye lager, the Claymore, and the Hercules DIPA. All the beers were quality and the staff was on top of things and it was very busy. The staff is very efficient. The tour was informative and fun - save for the annoying drunk people who were more interested in talking loudly amongst themselves than paying attention to the tour guide. I'm not faulting the tour guide or Great Divide for them at all - the your guide just spoke loudly enough for those interested to hear her. It's an amazing facility.

I went to the Great Divide yesterday. It's in downtown Denver close to Coors Field. You could walk there but that part of downtown Denver is not as nice as the area where the library, aquarium, and the state capitol is. Parking will probably cost you $3.50.
The brewery was busy and packed. There is seating outside in an uncovered patio. The bar area has stools and there is seating in another room but the bar is where it is happening. Two bartenders are very busy just getting beers one after another. No time to talk but they are extremely efficient. I sat in the back room with a friend but got my beers at the bar. No servers here. Got my beers from between two people sitting at the bar as did others all along the bar.
We got a tour of the brewery. They are really growing. All employees are passionate about the beer they brew and are very friendly. The tour is free but no beer sampling.
I had the Titan IPA and the Rumble IPA. $5 each served in a 12 oz. tulip glass. Both were extremely good and fairly high alcohol content. I really liked the Titan and I would have bought a 6-pack to go but the bar was very congested. So off I went.
I would recommend Great Divide if only to sample their great beers fresh and on tap. Take the tour and enjoy the passion.

Nice, small group tour. No tasting room, but nice bar and selection of beers to go.Tough to find parking but worth a trip. Just down the street from Coors field, so take in a game and a brew tour. A fine example of Colorado brewing. I recommend any wood aged and the Hercules for hop heads. Titan is a respectable six pack. The staff is passionate about what they do.

East Dallas Italian eatery perfects panini and pasta. – Diners are likely to miss the unassuming signage in front of this neighborhood Italian restaurant, but perhaps that's a good thing for the local politicians and European expats who crave the fresh-made pasta. A pocket-size dining room with nine tables lends to intimacy and lingering over many bottles of BYO wine. A chalkboard sells specials like a stuffed portabello panini and tagliatelle pasta with Ahi tuna. Food is on the table seconds after it's poured from the pan and everyone swoons on its arrival.
