About Battery Life
- Poor battery life. It's one of the most discussed topics in the forums. Is it result of defective hardware, the OS, network connectivity, Sense UI (on HTC devices), or other 3rd party apps? Instinctively (particularly if you're new to the world of Smartphone's) the rapid depletion in battery life - even with light to moderate usage - might lead you to believe that your phone has major problems in this area.
I'm of the belief that there are always areas of improvements in how each of the above variables affects battery life. For example, there could be future ROM update that enhances OS efficiency, task management, or the efficiencies in manufactures (called bloatware by some/but loved by others) in additional apps or skins. Another culprit is that battery technology and capacity have not evolved as rapidly as the power and functionality in today's powerful Smartphone's.
Cars are very similar. For example, an Audi S4 has a powerful 352HP V8 engine, which is much faster than your average commuter car. However, the 352HP engine comes at a price. It burns through gas really quickly, and like the EVO requires a great deal of energy to live up to its potential. The S4's source of energy is stored in a 14-gallon gas tank in the rear of the car. If I push the car to it's full potential – and gets approximately 10 miles per gallon. Contrast that to an A4 with a 4 cylinder engine averages twice the number of miles per gallon, and has the same size gas tank. Smartphone's aren't any different. For example, the battery in the HTC Ozone and the battery in the EVO are exactly the same in terms of capacity. They both provide 1500 mAh's of energy. However there are distinct differences in screen size, processor power, network types, features, etc… Having used both, I can tell you the battery life was the least of my complaints on the Ozone.
That said here are some of the most common items (based on my unscientific tests of various Smartphone's) that are the highest consumers of battery life. Most are manageable from a user perspective, some are not. I've left out the most obvious one of all – extended voice call activity. Just remember there is a trade off between performance/features and the amount of power you're willing to devote to each.
- 4G if available (worse than 3G) and 3G connectivity/activity by streaming audio/video apps, web browsing, instant messaging apps, and apps that poll the network at regular intervals for updates (Facebook, RSS readers, Friendstream, etc).
3G: See those little white arrows at the top of your screen? When they are light grey in color, network utilization is zero. Contrary, when they are solid white, network usage is occurring. If they are constantly white (as they would be when streaming radio for example) battery consumption is at it's highest.
4G (applicable to Sprint 4G phones): The first day I got my hands on an EVO, I immediately turned on the 4G radio. After all, this was one of the EVO's main selling points. 3 hours after a full charge, my battery was toast, and I hadn't even browsed the web yet. I was really disappointed that I was required to manage this radio and only use it when absolutely necessary, but that's the reality of 4G technology.
- Bright backlight settings: Phone's like the EVO and Droid X have massive 4.3" LCD screens. Regardless of backlight settings, the screen is still a major power consumer. Having said that, slight changes in backlight settings can make a dramatic difference in battery consumption. I would recommend avoiding the very brightest setting. My preferred setting is to let Android manage screen brightness, while others have manually enforced a constant low to medium brightness level. The latter will have the greatest positive affect on battery life.
- High CPU, backlight, and network usage by graphics intensive and/or poorly written applications: Graphics intensive programs often consume large amounts of CPU power and RAM, which translates into high battery consumption. Combine this with a network intensive streaming media application (e.g., vCast, Sprint TV, Pandora, or similar apps); your smartphone of choice is sucking the life out its battery at an extremely high rate. Applications that were not designed for your particular smartphone or are buggy in nature might causing the CPU to work excessively hard. If your phone is warm to the touch and running particularly slow, there's a good chance a 3rd party app is the culprit.
- Bluetooth: Bluetooth sucks down power. I've experienced this on every phone I've ever used. Enabling bluetooth, within settings or via a bluetooth toggle widget, isn't necessarily a battery hog. It's the active use of bluetooth (for example on a call, or connected to a computer) that begins to drain bluetooth at a higher rate
- GPS: Like Bluetooth, it consume large amounts of energy while updating coordinates and communicating with satellites orbiting the earth. Combined with turn-by-turn directions and an always-on backlight, in order to see the maps guiding your way, you're pushing battery consumption to the limits. I often read posts from people who are using their smartphone as a full time GPS device in the car. One common complaint from these users is that USB chargers are only maintaining the current battery level – or worse – when GPS is in use. Since most phones limit USB host connections to 500mAh of power input, this is a good indicator of how much GPS consumes. In other words, 500mAh of continuous power to the phone is not enough to charge and take advantage of GPS/turn by turn directions at the same time. When choosing a car charger, try to choose one that meeds the minimum mAh output of the stock OEM charger. This will ensure the phone is receiving enough power to both use these applications and charger at the same time.
- Signal Strength: Whether 3G, 4G, or WiFi, week signal strength can affect battery life.
- CPU/Memory: I often read posts from members who have most of the above features disabled. Yet they still report warm to the touch phones and unusually poor battery life (3-4 hours per charge). In my experience, this is usually caused by 3rd party CPU intensive applications. Many people reach for the nearest task manager. Others can't imagine which application they've installed that would cause such an issue. Regardless, if you reach to other forum members for assistance, please provide the following information that varies from the out of box configuration of the phone:
o Task managers in use (I believe these cause more harm than good – but there's a totally different sticky devoted to that).
o A list of all 3rd party applications (including battery percentage widgets & instant messaging applications)
o Update frequency settings for each application in settings > accounts & sync.
o Detailed information from settings > about phone > battery use
o GTalk auto sign in settings
o 4G use (if applicable)
o 3G data arrow activity (frequent solid white arrows?)
o Email configuration (update frequency for Exchange, IMAP, Gmail, POP)
o Type of charger being used (OEM vs. 3rd party) & input/output specs.
o Widgets in use.
And please read the task manager sticky for important information about the use of these programs.
The best but least practical solution to battery consumption is to disable every single feature possible that your phone has to offer. Is this a practical solution? Probably not. My recommendation is to find a balance that works best for you and come to the terms that the attributes that make your smartphone the best converged device available requires, will demand increased energy & negatively impact battery life. This amount of energy available in a fully charged OEM battery is specified on the back of your battery. Look for extended OEM batteries to extend the use of your battery before needing to plug it in again. I also recommend the combination of a second battery and battery only charger, to ensure a spare is always at hand.
I hope you found this information helpful, and if you have any other tips, please post them below.06-19-2010 02:18 PMLike 9

- If you follow these guidelines, how long should your battery last? I recently got a Droid X, and the battery life has been around 1 full day. I thought this was pretty terrible considering my last phone could last around half a week. But after seeing that some phones only last 3-4 hours, I don't know lol.12-20-2010 04:24 PM
- I have been adding the tips from all the battery life threads into the Getting Started with Android section on Extending Battery Life. In particular, Juicedefender and UltimateJuice seem to be the key because they turn things on and off automatically as you need them.12-24-2010 03:48 PM
- I have the EVO and use my Igo car charger to 'try' and power it while I'm driving. It seems to burn more battery on the car charger, what's up with that?01-28-2011 08:58 AM
- thanks, helped a lot01-31-2011 09:13 PM
- For those that don't win one of the neat backups from AC, here is a method that I have been using. It is based on the Tek4 Ryobi kit from Home Depot that I was lucky to find on sale a year ago for $50. Yes, all 6 items were included in the box plus 2 of the 6wh (1500 mahr) LI-ION rechargable batteries and the charger. If you look closely, a green led on the module lights when phone is charging and the indicator on the EVO also turns on. It has a lot of adapters, but the micro USB is used for most phones today. I have used this system to record 7.5 GB of RC Sailing video at a remote location with battery to spare. I think additional batteries are about $13.
The 2nd photo shows the phone up close to show the wallpaper. I am an avid fan of the HTC scenes and have about a dozen including ANDROID, GAMES, PEOPLE, TECHNOLOGY, FINANCIAL, SHOPPING, etc... Thus, it is important to know which scene you are in as it requires you to save with EXACT same scene name everytime you change something in a sceen such as move, add or delete an Icon. If you look closely, you will see the word "ANDROID" repeated in the background wallpaper. It took me about 2 months to really understand the scenes system. The backgrounds were created using Docs to Go Word application. If this is helpful, click on the "Thanks".02-05-2011 04:46 PM
- It's nice to know I'm on the right track then.
I've found it's useful to have a task killer handy (not set to auto) for when some random app decides to have a feast on my battery.
It may not be elegant, but crashing everything has proved effective when I can't figure out which app is chewing down the cycles.02-05-2011 11:13 PM
- Thanks for the info appreciate it02-08-2011 01:58 PM
- Thanks for the tip. had my incredible for a couple days and I'm burning through my battery. Now I know where to start looking.02-09-2011 07:16 PM
- Okay, well I figure it would be pointless to create another battery thread, so I'm gonna ask my question here.
I've had a MyTouch 4g for less than a week, and to be clear, it's my first android phone. I've done my share of googling to find out how to best preserve the battery. Now I just have some final questions.
1. Yesterday, I experimented with not having the mobile network on, unless I needed to check my email, update my twitter, foursquare, or check in to answer my opponent on Words. Also, I was using my phone as an mp3 player, so I probably logged about an hour of music as well. Battery life was about 70% by 9 pm. I was pleased, but then something went wrong. I had my mobile network off and everything...by the time I was ready to go to bed by 1 am, battery life was down to 35%. I honestly have no idea what the huge drop off was to, because I was running it the same I was during the day. Mobile network off. GPS off. Bluetooth off. No live wallpaper. Etc.
So what gives?
2. This is day 2 of not having my mobile network on, and I noticed that my battery will stay at 100% for the longest time...using it actively once again for music, foursquare for a total of 30 minutes or so. However, before I napped around 4 (unplugged since 10), I decided to use it once more to check up on some stuff. Battery life was at 98%, and by the time I got done with it (5 minutes later), it was at 94%. Turned off mobile network and everything, sleep, and now battery life is still at 93% 3 hours later. It seems like it's conserving itself heavily, but the moment I start using it, battery just drops like no other.
3. Can I get away with running 3G all day? I'm going to experiment with it, but no point if I can get a straight up answer.
So yeah, these are my 3 questions. I'll probably repost this somewhere else if I don't get an answer down the road.03-03-2011 08:23 PM

Bobcats-Trail Blazers Preview
While they've struggled to win on the road, the Portland Trail Blazers have experienced few problems at home. A visit from the NBA's worst club should help them continue that trend.
The Blazers will try to improve to 10-1 at the Rose Garden on Wednesday night by sending the Charlotte Bobcats to a 10th consecutive defeat both overall and on the road.
Portland (12-9) dropped to 3-8 away from home Monday with a 93-89 loss to Utah and didn't help itself with a 5-of-20 performance from 3-point range and 25 fewer free-throw attempts. The Blazers also gave up 24 second-chance points and were outscored 20-6 on fast-break points.
All those factors aided the Jazz's comeback from a double-digit deficit in the third quarter.
"We definitely had control, and we let it slip away,'' said forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who finished with 25 points and seven rebounds. "No excuses. They kept playing hard and they ended up coming back and stealing one."
Portland might have a better performance Wednesday, as it's averaging 104.0 points at home compared with 90.5 on the road. The Blazers are also allowing 3.5 fewer points per game at the Rose Garden and could improve that average against the Bobcats (3-19).
Charlotte is producing just 81.1 points per contest during its road losing streak and 84.0 over its last nine overall. The Bobcats shot less than 40.0 percent (35.2) for the fourth time in five games Tuesday during a 106-73 drubbing at the Los Angeles Lakers.
They were outscored 60-36 in the first half and 33-15 in the fourth quarter despite the return of three players to the lineup, including leading scorer Gerald Henderson from a bruised lower back. The guard finished with 14 points as his team faces its longest losing streak since a franchise-record 13 straight defeats Jan. 11-Feb. 1, 2006, and its fourth-longest overall.
The Bobcats haven't lost 10 in a row on the road in one season since an 11-game skid Nov. 7, 2007-Jan. 4, 2008.
"We've got a horrible record and we're trying to make our way back up," Henderson said. "We're starting to get guys back healthy. In fact, it seems like every game we get a new guy back. So hopefully, as we get more acclimated to each other, things will start improving."
Henderson paced his team with 16 points during its previous visit to Portland on March 5, but the Bobcats didn't get much else in a 93-69 rout. Aldridge's 26 points led the way but he missed 11 of 17 shots during a 97-92 loss in Charlotte six days later.
The win was the Bobcats' first in five matchups with the Blazers, but they've dropped three in a row in Portland after splitting the first four games there. Charlotte might not have starting guard D.J. Augustin available to end that skid as he's missed the past five games with an ailing toe.
The Blazers will also be short-handed with reserve forward Nicolas Batum dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee suffered in Monday's defeat. An MRI on Tuesday showed no breaks or tears in the joint.
"When I came home and saw the video, it was like, 'I'm done for the season.'" said Batum, averaging 11.4 points and 4.1 rebounds. "I was scared of it, but I was so happy after (the MRI). I might miss the next two games but after that, we'll see."

As I write this post I am doing a little celebratory dance in my head (or maybe not just in my head, but then again I am not sure I want to admit to this advanced state of crazy...) to welcome the first day of Autumn... I am so looking forward to days spent lazily strolling around London's parks with their fiery colours and crispy leaves breaking under my feet, the casserole dishes I'll cook up for friends and family, and of course new season fashion (you were waiting for this one, admit it). Last Sunday we got a little preview of Autumn with a slightly colder day than usual, so let's consider this my first outfit post for the new season...
I woke up on Sunday morning with a slight buzz in my head, the effect of an evening well spent with friends the night before, and nothing at all to do with the numerous champagne flutes I'd had, surely... So following my usual routine of gym then breakfast then kids activities was just not going to happen... Instead, I brewed myself a strong pot of coffee, cooked the kiddies a glorious breakfast of waffles, fruit and juices (as documented on my Instagram...), whilst Hubby Dearest went for a workout: clearly he has a stronger composition than me, I swear I couldn't have faced an elyptical machine! After that, there was a strong pull to go back to bed in my PJs with my two little munchkins and turn over to my favourite helper for the direst times: Nanny Disney. But, as you can gladly see from these pics, I pulled through, got dressed and went to the local farmers market to pick up some homegrown goodies!
Though it is tempting to go out in one's PJ's, it doesn't make for very good OOTD material, unless you're an 9 feet tall model-like waif, which evidently I have given up on becoming about twenty years ago when my height plateau'd at 5''1... but more to the point in my case: my mother would be absolutely horrified (I should probably capitalise that) to see how far down I'm letting myself go, and since she is probably one of my two regular readers, the other one being my devoted husband, I couldn't really do that, could I?
Instead, I opted for my most trusted and comfy skinny jeans (these are high-waisted, which is great for days when things aren't as tip-tight as they need to be...), and layered up top with some pretty laid-back but still interesting tops, especially my embroidered sweatshirt and my too cool for school camo jacket. Accessories-wise it was kept very low-key, with my favourite flats of the moment and a super large tote bag Little Sis' gave me a few Christmasses ago... ideal to pack all the organic produce from the market, right?
Outfit details below:
- Camouflage jacket with drawstring waist, Pull & Bear
- Dark wash skinny jeans, Frame Denim
- Embroidered sweat-shirt, Anthropologie
- Canvas and leather Cappuccino bag, Meli Melo
- Leo lace-up ballerina flats, Isabel Marant

Norton Scientific Journal: Researchers Call for Open-access Journals
Britain's Wellcome Trust, one of the largest research charities worldwide expressed their support to scientists who wants to make their work accessible to all. Officials at the organization gave hints of their plan to introduce a free online journal that can rival established academic publications.
Researchers are now demanding that their work be opened to the public, believing that in this way, progress in scientific research will speed up. Besides, researches that are publicly funded should not be exclusive for private publishing houses as the research findings must be available to all. Trust seems to be advocating that charity- and public-funded scientific research must be accessible for anyone who wants to read it.
It is evident that Wellcome Trust does not want to pay for medical studies that only end up in private parties so it is now considering ways to bring the research papers under an open-access framework.
Most of the world's scientific research which is estimated to be around 1.5 million new articles every year is only released through journals owned by several big publishing companies like Wiley, Springer and Elsevier. Influential journals such as New England Journal and Nature and Science are only accessible via paid subscription. And because of the frustrations with the expenses of academic journals, researchers staged a boycott of the biggest publisher worldwide, Elsevier. Over 9,200 said they will not submit manuscripts anymore, nor act as peer reviewer for Norton Scientific Journal.
With this intervention from the second largest non-government funder of medical research, the movement gained a considerably strong ally in their demand to open online journals.
The director of Wellcome Trust Sir Mark Walport, announced that they are in the final stages of introducing a high-caliber scientific journal called eLife, set to directly rival the premiere publications like Nature and Science, and is set to launch the website this year. But not like the traditional journals that can cost universities millions in cash every year to access, articles published on eLife would be free to view online once they are released.
"The broad principle is obviously correct, publicly-funded research should be in the public domain as soon as possible," said the Labour chair of the House of Commons science and technology committee. And in fact, if you look at what really makes information dissemination effective, you will find that open content obviously spreads faster, has more influence and reach a wider audience — it could even be used in ways that the authors do not expect.
Wellcome Trust provides financial assistance in form of grants so that they can pay publishers to make their work available for free. Those who do not open their work for public access in accordance with Trust's terms can be sanctioned in future grant applications.
The government also appeared to be giving their assent for calls on open access journals. During its launch of innovation strategy in December, the minister for universities and science said that he would like to see all state-funded researched released in the public domain.
Wellcome Trust even teamed up with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Max Planck Society of Germany in their setting up of the open-access online journal eLife. Walport commented, "The idea is that that will take on the very top end of the scientific publishing industry, a visible high-profile competitor to Nature and Science. In no sense is this a war in which we're trying to put them out of business, the thing that would be best for them [publishers] to do is to change their publishing model."
As expected, prominent scientists started to steer away from academic publishing and give their medical studies to open-access journals like the non-profit Public Library of Science (PLoS), which also has a peer-review system in place for its articles.

I've been using Docker for my staging and production environments, but I've recently figured out how to make Docker work for my development environment as well.
When I work on my personal web applications, I have three environments:
- Production – the actual application that serves the users
- Staging – a replica of the production environment on my laptop
- Development – the environment where I write source code, unit/integration test, debug, integrate, etc.
While having a development environment that is significantly different (ie. not using Docker) from the staging/production environments is not an issue, I've really enjoyed the switch to using Docker for development.
The key aspects that were important to me when deciding to switch to Docker for my development environment were:
- Utilize the Flask development server instead of a production web server (Gunicorn)
- Allow easy access to my database (Postgres)
- Maintain my unit/integration testing capability
This blog post shows how to configure Docker and Docker Compose for creating a development environment that you can easily use on a day-to-day basis for developing a Flask application.
For reference, my Flask project that is the basis for this blog post can be found on GitLab.
The architecture for this Flask application is illustrated in the following diagram:
Each key component has its own sub-directory in the repository:
$ tree . ├── docker-compose.yml ├── nginx │ ├── Dockerfile ├── postgresql │ └── Dockerfile * Not included in git repository └── web ├── Dockerfile ├── create_postgres_dockerfile.py ├── instance ├── project ├── requirements.txt └── run.py
Configuration of Dockerfiles and Docker Compose for Production
The setup for my application utilizes separate Dockerfiles for the web application, Nginx, and Postgres; these services are integrated together using Docker Compose.
Web Application Service
Originally, I had been using the python-*:onbuild image for my web application image, as this seemed like a convenient and reasonable option (it provided the standard configurations for a python project). However, in reading the notes in the python page on Docker Hub, the use of the python-*:onbuild images are not recommended anymore.
Therefore, I created a Dockerfile that I use for my web application that creates a non-root user (flask) for the container to run as:
FROM python:3.6.1 MAINTAINER Patrick Kennedy <email@example.com> # Create the group and user to be used in this container RUN groupadd flaskgroup && useradd -m -g flaskgroup -s /bin/bash flask # Create the working directory (and set it as the working directory) RUN mkdir -p /home/flask/app/web WORKDIR /home/flask/app/web # Install the package dependencies (this step is separated # from copying all the source code to avoid having to # re-install all python packages defined in requirements.txt # whenever any source code change is made) COPY requirements.txt /home/flask/app/web RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt # Copy the source code into the container COPY . /home/flask/app/web RUN chown -R flask:flaskgroup /home/flask USER flask
It may seem odd or out of sequence to copy the requirements.txt file from the local system into the container separately from the entire repository, but this is intentional. If you copy over the entire repository and then 'pip install' all the packages in requirements.txt, any change in the repository will cause all the packages to be re-installed (this can take a long time and is unnecessary) when you build this container. A better approach is to first just copy over the requirements.txt file and then run 'pip install'. If changes are made to the repository (not to requirements.txt), then the cached intermediate container (or layer in your service) will be utilized. This is a big time saver, especially during development. Of course, if you make a change to requirements.txt, this will be detected during the next build and all the python packages will be re-installed in the intermediate container.
Nginx Service
Here is the Dockerfile that I use for my Nginx service:
FROM nginx:1.11.3 RUN rm /etc/nginx/nginx.conf COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/ RUN rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf COPY family_recipes.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/
There is a lot of complexity when it comes to configuring Nginx, so please refer to my blog post entitled 'How to Configure Nginx for a Flask Web Application'.
Postgres Service
The Dockerfile for the postgres service is very simple, but I actually use a python script (create_postgres_dockerfile.py) to auto-generate it based on the credentials of my postgres database. The structure of the Dockerfile is:
FROM postgres:9.6 # Set environment variables ENV POSTGRES_USER <postgres_user> ENV POSTGRES_PASSWORD <postgres_password> ENV POSTGRES_DB <postgres_database>
Docker Compose
Docker Compose is a great tool for connecting different services (ie. containers) to create a fully functioning application. The configuration of the application is defined in the docker-compose.yml file:
version: '2' services: web: restart: always build: ./web expose: - "8000" volumes: - /usr/src/app/web/project/static command: /usr/local/bin/gunicorn -w 2 -b :8000 project:app depends_on: - postgres nginx: restart: always build: ./nginx ports: - "80:80" volumes: - /www/static volumes_from: - web depends_on: - web data: image: postgres:9.6 volumes: - /var/lib/postgresql command: "true" postgres: restart: always build: ./postgresql volumes_from: - data expose: - "5432"
The following commands need to be run to build and then start these containers:
docker-compose build docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
Additionally, I utilize a script to re-initialize the database, which is frequently used in the staging environment:
docker-compose run --rm web python ./instance/db_create.py
To see the application, utilize your favorite web browser and navigate to http://ip_of_docker_machine/ to access the application; this will often be http://192.168.99.100/. The command 'docker-machine ip' will tell you the IP address to use.
Changes Needed for Development Environment
The easiest way to make the necessary changes for the development environment is to create the changes in the docker-compose.override.yml file.
Docker Compose automatically checks for docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.override.yml when the 'up' command is used. Therefore, in development use 'docker-compose up -d' and in production or staging use 'docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d' to prevent the loading of docker-compose.override.yml.
Here are the contents of the docker-compose.override.yml file:
version: '2' services: web: build: ./web ports: - "5000:5000" environment: - FLASK_APP=run.py - FLASK_DEBUG=1 volumes: - ./web/:/usr/src/app/web command: flask run --host=0.0.0.0 postgres: ports: - "5432:5432"
Each line in the docker-compose.override.yml overrides the applicable setting from docker-compose.ml.
Web Application Service
For the web application container, the web server is being switched from Gunicorn (used in production) to the Flask development server. The Flask development server allows auto-reloading of the application whenever a change is made and has debugging capability right in the browser when exceptions occurs. These are create features to have during development. Additionally, port 5000 is now accessible from the web application container. This allows the developer to gain access to the Flask web server by navigating to http://ip_of_docker_machine:5000.
Postgres Service
For the postgres container, the only change that is made is to allow access to port 5432 by the host machine instead of just other services. For reference, here is a good explanation of the use of 'ports' vs. 'expose' from Stack Overflow.
This change allows direct access to the postgres database using the psql shell. When accessing the postgres database, I prefer specifying the URI:
psql postgresql://<username>:<password>@192.168.99.100:5432/<postgres_database>
This allows you access to the postgres database, which will come in really handy at some point during development (almost a guarantee).
Nginx Service
While there are no override commands for the Nginx service, this service will be basically ignored during development, as the web application is accessed directly through the Flask web server by navigating to http://ip_of_docker_machine:5000/. I have not found a clear way to disable a service, so the Nginx service is left untouched.
Alternate Solution with Nginx Service
While there is a nice simplicity to just using the Flask development server (web service) with the Postgres database (postgres service), it is also possible to utilize the Nginx service in development. This approach has the advantage of being more similar to the production environment.
In order to implement this configuration, the docker-compose.override.yml file needs to be changed by updating the highlighted lines:
version: '2' services: web: build: ./web ports: - "8000:8000" environment: - FLASK_APP=run.py - FLASK_DEBUG=1 volumes: - ./web/:/usr/src/app/web command: flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port 8000 postgres: ports: - "5432:5432"
With this configuration, you will just navigate to http://ip_of_docker_machine/ to access the application (for example, http://192.168.99.100/). The command 'docker-machine ip' will tell you the IP address to use.
Running the Development Application
The following commands should be run to build and run the containers:
docker-compose stop # If there are existing containers running, stop them docker-compose build docker-compose up -d
Since you are running in a development environment with the Flask development server, you will need to navigate to http://ip_of_docker_machine:5000/ to access the application (for example, http://192.168.99.100:5000/). The command 'docker-machine ip' will tell you the IP address to use.
Another helpful command that allows quick access to the logs of a specific container is:
docker-compose logs <service>
For example, to see the logs of the web application, run 'docker-compose logs web'. In the development environment, you should see something similar to:
$ docker-compose logs web Attaching to flaskrecipeapp_web_1 web_1 | * Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit) web_1 | * Restarting with stat web_1 | * Debugger is active! web_1 | * Debugger pin code: ***-***-***
Docker is an amazing product that I have really come to enjoy using for my development environment. I really feel that using Docker makes you think about your entire architecture, as Docker provides such an easy way to start integrating complex services, like web services, databases, etc.
Using Docker for a development environment does require a good deal of setup, but once you have the configuration working, it's a great way for quickly developing your application while still having that one foot towards the production environment.

Wife bites husband during sex because he was using her bodyBy Mason White 5:40 PM March 19, 2017
|Jennifer Rahe Hickman
By: Mason White WorldWideWeirdNews.com
A woman became angry with her husband because he was using her body for his sexual pleasure, according to police in Florida.
The Key West Police Department said that they have arrested 42-year-old Jennifer Rahe Hickman of Mason, Ohio, after being accused of assaulting her husband while she was having sex with him.
Hickman has been charged with one count of battery.
According to the police investigation, Hickman works as a dental hygienist while her husband Eric, is an orthodontist. The couple got into an argument while vacationing at the Southernmost Beach Resort.
The two were drinking alcoholic beverages at the pool when they decided to go to their room to have sex. While they were having sex, Hickman bit her husband's arm and screaming that he was using her body.
A hotel employee who heard people screaming in the couple's room, called Eric to ask what happened. When the employee heard Erid crying on the phone, he called the police.
Police officers who arrived at the scene, noticed bite marks on Eric's hand. Officers arrested Hickman, and placed her in a patrol car.
On their way to the police station, Hickman said that she was going to kill her husband.

8 contrarian DFS picks for Week 13
"Whenever people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong." – Oscar Wilde
Last week was another great week to go contrarian. The chalk plays (Carson Palmer, Brian Hoyer, Tevin Coleman, T.J. Yeldon, DeAndre Hopkins, Antonio Brown, and Julio Jones) all crashed and burned in a most-glorious and spectacular fashion. The contrarian DFS player typically puts themselves into something of an antifragile position in that they benefit from disorder and chaos. Most weeks they may be less likely to cash in tournaments than their chalk-heavy counterparts, but on weeks when the chalk bombs, they've put themselves in a position to do a lot more than just cash.
Last week, we had a great example of this from one of our very own readers, Luis, who goes by 'mialights' on DraftKings. He hit me up on Twitter after the Sunday night game. He was in 17th place in DraftKings' Millionaire Maker, set to haul in $12,500, but was sweating the Monday night game. Unfortunately, due to a big performance from Cleveland's defense, Luis slipped 20 spots, but still walked away with a cool $4,000. Rather than lead in with the typical inanities I've been known to employ for this section of the article, I figured it might actually be a better use of our time to review his lineup construction to see if there's anything we can learn from Luis' success.
Last week we mentioned that we thought the Seattle vs. Pittsburgh game had sneaky shootout potential, and apparently, so did Luis. Russell Wilson was only 3.3 percent owned in the Millionaire Maker. This seems shockingly-low considering he was A) up against a bad "funnel defense" in the Steelers, B) he had contrarian appeal as a way of fading the chalky Thomas Rawls, and C) he was just coming off of his most productive fantasy game of the season. Luis paired him up with Wilson's favorite target, Doug Baldwin (2.7%), which combined to make up over a third of his lineup's total points.
Luis also made another nice in-game correlation play with the Martavis Bryant (12.7%). If Wilson was going to have a big game, chances are so would Ben Roethlisberger. There's a strong correlation between the fantasy success of one quarterback and the opposing team's quarterback. (On both DraftKings and FanDuel, if a quarterback has scored at least 25 fantasy points, the opposing team's quarterback has scored at least 20 points 60 percent of the time.) So, if Roethlisberger were to have a good game, chances are so would one of his top receivers. We knew Richard Sherman would be shadowing Antonio Brown and Marcus Wheaton hadn't done much prior to last week, so Bryant was a strong play although he didn't put up massive numbers.
Jarvis Landry (2.5%) might have been the most hindsight-obvious pick of the week. We knew that the Jets' Darrelle Revis typically shadows Landry when the two teams play, we knew Revis would not be playing last week, we knew the Jets' secondary (outside of Revis) was bad, and we've already seen Landry flash elite-upside. He didn't go contrarian everywhere, however, rostering Odell Beckham Jr. (39.3%), but outside of Beckham Jr., he faded the chalk and profited while highly-owned studs like Hopkins and Jones sunk the majority of lineups.
This week, we can expect the chalk to be Cam Newton, David Johnson, Adrian Peterson, DeAngelo Williams, Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham Jr., Alshon Jeffery, Greg Olsen, and Scott Chandler. As typical, we'll be looking to fade or pivot off the large majority of this list.
Some of our favorite contrarian plays for Week 13 are:

First Impressions: Do Looks Really Matter?
If you are promoting anything online, you may be wondering if looks matter.
No, I'm not talking about your personal, physical looks. Hey, this isn't online dating. I'm talking about things like your logo, virtual ebook covers, sales videos and banners.
And the answer is yes. Too many marketers spend countless hours on a product then sabotage sales by skimping on their image. You can have the best product in your niche, but if your image is sub-par you'll kill your sales.
Luckily, it's not hard to project a top quality image, very inexpensively nowadays. There are basically two options. You can do it yourself or you can outsource it. Either way can yield awesome results every time. Here's how…
The DIY route has advantages if you're comfortable using design tools.
Do-it-yourself'ers with the right tools at their disposal can generate everything they need on the fly. They can also earn money offering design services at their website or on sites like fiverr.com. If have a flair for design and actually enjoy it, here are some tools of the trade you should have in your arsenal…
1. Youzign
Youzign is a revolutionary new graphics software that creates amazing Facebook covers, video graphics, flyers, infographics, business cards, Youtube channel art, banners, headers and more, with no Photoshop necessary and nothing to download or install.
2. LaughingBird
If you prefer to have a design program installed on your computer, LaughingBird does much of what Youzign does, but on your local machine. It specializes in logo design but also has templates for Facebook timelines, business cards, blog graphics and more. It's template based and very easy to use.
On a side-note, the creator of LaughingBird has been doing business online longer than I have. In fact, he designed my first ever website logo, see if you remember this blast from the past.
Ecovers are digital 3D representations of a book cover or software cover. A really good ecover can boost sales by as much as 80% or more, versus no ecover or a poorly done ecover. If you want a stunning ecover for your next project or your for your clients, you can't do much better than eCover Authority. You don't need Photoshop, and it is very easy to use. And just look at some of the covers this thing can crank out!
4. Explaindio
While the above three tools are perfect for creating graphics, Explaindio creates videos. "Explainer videos" to be precise. These videos are ideal for training and sales letters. I'm sure you've seen whiteboard videos like this before. You know, the ones with the hand-drawn characters and text. Well there's a good chance that video was created with this software. It's fun to use and makes DIY video creation very simple.
So that covers some of the best tools available for do-it-yourself'ers. But what about people who don't have the time or inclination to handle these tasks. Well, you can still get a top notch image. All you have to do is hire other people who use these tools!
Here's a list of my favorite outsourcers who help people with their digital image…
Intro and Outro Videos with your Logo (Great for branding PLR Videos!)
I suggest you bookmark this page and use it every time you have a project in the works!
As you can see, it's cheap and easy to get a professional image nowadays. So don't skimp when it comes to this stuff. You may be surprised to see just how much looks matter online.

The $20 million salary club used to be a small group. Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez were two of the pioneers in this movement over ten years ago now. Since then the type of contracts given to MLB players have become significantly inflated. This season 14 players are being paid at least $20 million.
However, not all of these players are worth the money. All you need to do is just look at the top four: Rodriguez, Vernon Wells, Johan Santana, and Mark Teixeira. The only one who is even playing currently is Wells, and he's a borderline MLB player right now. Very few people believe that Ryan Howard, Roy Halladay, or even Joe Mauer are worth that sort of cash either.
Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford both are in the elite club after signing contracts with the Boston Red Sox. Both were disasters in Boston uniforms and aren't exactly earning their money. So the Red Sox should tread very carefully before considering signing a player again for this much money.
I sincerely hope the Red Sox are strongly considering paying Dustin Pedroia this type of money, because he's well worth it. The All-Star second baseman and former AL MVP has shown time and time again that he should be paid amongst the elite players in the game. So it was encouraging to hear this week that Red Sox management is currently working on a deal that would pay Pedroia $20 million per year for five or six years.
Some may say that this is too much money, but I whole heartedly disagree. Pedroia is the best all around second baseman in the game. He doesn't have the power of Robinson Cano, but his speed, hustle, defense, and unique ability to both drive runs in and score them himself makes him an invaluable asset to the team.
Pedroia is still young (29), is currently in the midst of an MVP-caliber season, and is the heart and soul of the Boston Red Sox. The de facto captain needs to be signed to a long term extension that pays him above market value for the sake of the franchise. It would be a wise investment.

BP, one of the world's leading integrated oil and gas companies and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) have entered into agreement on strategic cooperation on framework on shale gas exploration and production in the Sichuan Basin and future fuel retailing ventures in China and other international partnerships, it was reported.
BP Group Chief Executive, Bob Dudley, said success recorded by both companies in Rumaila oil field project in Iraq is a conviction that there are more opportunities for cooperation between CNPC and BP. "This strategic partnership not only strengthens the relationship between the UK and China's largest energy companies, it further cements the relationship between China and the UK as global business partners," he said in an interview.
"CNPC and BP have enjoyed a longstanding, cooperative relationship involving projects both in and outside of China. This framework agreement on strategic cooperation will further facilitate our two companies' joint efforts in exploring opportunities on a global scale, be conducive to enhancing cooperation, and take our strategic partnership to a new height," CNPC's Chairman, Wang Yilin said.
President of the company's branch in China, Edward Yang said: "BP has been committed to doing business in China for more than 40 years and we're pleased to expand a partnership that supports continued growth of the Chinese energy sector." He added "We expect China's energy production to rise 47 percent and its consumption to grow 60 percent by 2035, making it the world's largest energy importer. Through this agreement and others, BP is committed to being one of China's preferred energy partners now and in the future."
The agreement which is expected to add several billion dollars in future trade to BP's already significant business with China was sealed when President of The People's Republic of China, Mr Xi Jinping's visited the UK. Reports say UK's Prime Minister David Cameron also witnessed the signage.
BP's investment expansion drive has also seen it take over 80 percent capacity of a $360 million mini-refinery in Houston with the explanation that it would refine just enough crude oil and help to avoid the restrictions that were placed on exporting crude oil out of the U.S. at the time.
According to reports, BP owns the new US Lower 48 onshore business.

I have a rough around the edges style that's a little quirky, but also relaxed, warm and welcoming. I want people to have a real interaction with my pots—pick them up, spin them around, caress them, spend some time with them. I have gravitated toward hand building because the pots I create in this way embody my spirit as a designer & allow for the greatest level of spontaneous exploration. I make vases, flower pots, mugs, cups, bowls and the occasional teapot. I like the idea of making each piece unique, so the shape may be similar, but you'll always find something different in any set or series. I'm constantly sketching new and interesting shapes and figuring out how to bring them to life. My inspiration comes from nature, textures, the human figure, jacobean textiles & architectural carvings as well as abstract expressionism.

The experts told you to start marketing through social media, and you did. But are you effectively using it to empower your brand? Ask yourself these questions:
• Do I have a strategy in place? You shouldn't be going at it willy nilly. You must have a schedule, a plan and a reason for sharing every piece of content. Don't just post anything to keep up the frequency. Make sure every post aligns with your core message.
• Who is the face of your organization? Social media offers a great format for communicating with customers, gaining their feedback and resolving their complaints.
However, you must monitor and analyze what people are saying about your brand. More important, you need someone available to quickly and professionally respond to both positive and negative feedback. If you ignore comments or fail to follow up on inquiries, you could hurt your brand.
• Are you handling criticism appropriately? People can become downright mean with their online comments. When you are attacked or heckled, how do you react? Deleting comments or responding with sarcasm and rudeness will almost always backfire. Angry customers can go on the warpath and blast your apathy to the world.
However, if you respond with empathy and a focus on resolving issues, you can salvage relationships with disgruntled customers, while making a positive impression on other people who are reading the comments online.

As I have recently read through some old family papers and genealogies, I have come across some paragraphs written about my great-grandmother, Mary Etta Marsh Morton. They lived on a farm that had been given to them in 1888 by my great-great-grandfather, Rezin Morton. Every morning great-grandma's 6 boys would go out to work on the farm in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. But, before they did, she would read the Bible and pray with them. Although she died shortly before I was born, her influence was felt in the family for many years.
I hope someday my children and grandchildren will be able to say that I followed in Great-Grandma Mary Etta's footsteps. I hope they will be able to say that Grandma prayed.

text: 000 FXUS63 KGRB 141150 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 550 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Monday Issued at 411 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 There are many forecast concerns, including cold temperatures this morning, snow trends and amounts, possible heavy lake-effect snow on the Lake Michigan shoreline, and winter weather headlines. Mostly clear skies and light winds have allowed temperatures to plummet into the teens and 20s below zero across north central and central WI. Will continue to highlight the frigid temperatures and a brief period of advisory criteria wind chills with a Special Weather Statement this morning. Snow is expected to arrive in our western counties during the late afternoon, and eastern counties in the evening, as WAA increases ahead of clipper low pressure system. The snow will continue across the region tonight into Monday as an upper level low and short-wave energy move through, and the clipper low and associated inverted surface trough linger. Lift will be quite strong within the Dendritic Growth Zone on Monday, so snow may be moderate in intensity at times. Although QPF amounts are not especially high through the period, snowfall to water ratios of 20-25:1 will support widespread snow totals of 4 to 6 inches over most of the forecast area through Monday evening. Have issued winter weather advisories for all of the forecast area, except along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The advisories will start in the early to mid evening, and go until midnight Monday night. Models are in good agreement that a well-defined north to south oriented LES band will move onshore over northern Door county this evening, and intensify as it shifts farther east into the county overnight. Heavy snow appears likely with this band, with accumulations of 4 to 8 inches possible across Door county tonight. With winds steadily backing from southeast to northeast during the day on Monday, the band is expected to gradually lose definition as it pushes west, then southwest. Regardless, there should still be enhancement occurring along the entire lakeshore during the day, leading to higher totals there. The current forecast calls for 7 to 10 inches in Kewaunee and Manitowoc counties, and 8 to 13 inches over Door county, so Winter Storm Warnings will be issued along the lakeshore. The warning will start mid-evening tonight, and continue through Monday night. Used a blend of the better performing guidance sets for temperatures, which will start off much below normal today, then moderate to near normal tonight into Monday. .LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Saturday Issued at 411 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 Main concern for this period will be the chances for snow and snowfall amounts Monday night with lingering chances of light snow into Tuesday morning, very cold conditions Tuesday night and then a gradual warming trend later in the upcoming work week and into next weekend. For Monday night, persistent easterly flow is expected to continue during the evening hours. The NAM12 is suggesting that another lake effect snow band could move into Door county during the evening hours and then shift south across Kewaunee and Manitowoc counties after midnight. Have increased snow chances and snow amounts across the northeast Wisconsin Monday evening, and then along the lakeshore after midnight. If an organized snow band does set up, amounts near the Lake Michigan shoreline may need to be increased. On Tuesday, scattered lake effect snow showers or flurries will continue across the far north. With a cold northerly flow off of Lake Superior, believe there will be scattered light snow showers or flurries across northeast Wisconsin before drier air works into the area Tuesday afternoon. Another very cold day is expected on Wednesday. Milder air will return on Thursday with highs in the 20s. Even warmer air is expected on Friday into next weekend. Next chance for precipitation will occur next weekend. Based on the pattern and temperatures at the surface/aloft, precipitation type issues are of concern. Plenty of time to sort out the details as we approach next weekend. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 542 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 VFR conditions will persist until mid-afternoon, with conditions deteriorating from west to east as snow moves into the area during the late afternoon and evening.

Farrah Fawcett, star of Charlie's Angels, has passed away at the age of 62. She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer three years ago and finally succumbed to the disease this morning. Her iconic image and hair will live on.
6 Comments on "OMG, Rest In Peace: Farrah Fawcett"
Been a big fan of this under rated actress for over 30 years now,may she rest in peace and though I am terribly saddened that she's gone I am happy she is past all the pain that she has been experiencing the past years. My love and admiration doesn't stop just because she's gone, she will always be in my heart and mind and a big part of memories of my happy growing up years.Truly she will be missed by this individual…elmer e.
I cried more for her than MJ.
She fought the good fight and was a huge inspiration to people living with Cancer. RIP gorgeous lady.
And Michael Jackson 🙁
I remember her when I was in the 6th grade, all the boys were in love with her and had her poster on their walls. I just remember being envious that the boys didn't lust after ME that way. She was awesome.

Today, I am going to talk about business expansion and how it has helped me at Hostalite.
Let's consider a common scenario , when you plan to make a new purchase, there are many things you will consider before making a decision and handing over your money.
These considerations might include factors like quality, price, and/or popularity– but inevitably one of the most important things that you'll think about is convenience and ease of use.
Convenience and usability depend largely on one core principle – how well will your new purchase integrate with your life and the products you already own and use.
If you're looking to buy a new mobile phone for example, you'll want to know how quickly and easily you can get it set up and in use without disrupting your routine.
Will the new device connect easily to your computer for charging or syncing? Can you easily transfer all of the data and contact records stored in your old phone? Will your new device maintain information about the apps that you use to run your business, and your life, on a day-to-day basis?
If you could answer 'yes' to all of these questions, it's likely that you would be buying your new phone from a company that has successfully implemented the concept of 'product system innovation'. It's a type of innovation that is based upon a simple idea: the creation of complementary products and services that are part of a single ecosystem.
My experience at Hostalite:
When the time for business expansion at Hostalite reached, I had many ideas of starting other companies or product lines in the name of expansion. Remember any young businessman would want to be called a group C.E.O but that's just a title which doesn't make sense if the companies in the group are not performing or if they are in a Cannibalism state.(Topic for another day)
Long story short, after careful thought and research, decided to start a new business that would complement Hostalite and that's Hostalite Cyber Academy. This is an I.T school that teaches practical I.T skills as it rides on a 7 year experience of Hostalite.
I didn't start a pharmacy, or a construction company because it would take me the a lot of time to learn the dynamics, make mistakes and stabilize 7 years later, of which the academy would now be a University, which is the plan by the way.
There are many other advantages in addition to being a one stop centre for your customers and instead of running around looking for new clients, its better to innovate and offer them related products and services at no extra sales cost.
As a result, Hostalite was recently selected to Host and Execute the Marie Stopes Health App challenge, a 2-day Hackathon event in which local innovators selected from 12 universities across Uganda came together to create mobile applications for use on mobile devices aimed at increasing uptake of Sexual Reproductive Health Services in Uganda.
*And guess what, one of the most contributing factors was Hostalite's ability to incubate the winners at the Academy.
Choose your businesses expansion plan wisely.
Choose businesses that will support each other as opposed to eating each other up.

sort by best latest
I was with a guy for almost 3 years. He lied almost every day to me, hid things from me, cheated on me and just didn't show he cared. I tried to break up with him about 14 months into the relationship and despite the fact that I busted him speaking as if we were already breaking up to another woman, I stayed and made a huge mistake. I continued to try to leave him for almost 2 more years! I guess I stayed because I didn't want to be alone. One day, I met up with a guy that I dated several years earlier and we clicked. I brought him up to my boyfriend (at the time) and he didn't even care! So we hung out and he showed me how a woman should be treated. I never cheated on my ex with him but he helped me wake up and gave me strength to leave this dude. Once night while we were hanging out, my ex ignored me. He wouldn't answer his phone or text me back. I finally said enough is enough and I said we are done. I don't think he believed me as I have said this before so naturally he didn't answer me. Me and that guys ended up dating for two weeks then when our separate ways. I think it was cause I wouldn't have sex with him, who knows. But my ex realized I meant it when I had not spoke with him for almost a month. He showed up at my work and I snuk out the back door. I haven't seen him but only 2 times since then and that was because my cousins go to a school right up the street from where he lives. I only seen him while I was in a car.
So needless to say, I got over my break-up by finding someone who was the opposite of him. Yeah it didn't last but that short run gave me my confidence back and made it super easy to get over my ex. I didn't cry once!
I found that I had to keep myself busy. I started to follow my passions and strengthen my friendships. Writing was my place of solace. If I spent time thinking of the break up, it would only hurt more and prolong the agony.

- Promotes collagen synthesis in deep dermal layers
- Fills in uneven surfaces for a flawless look
- Instantly restores tightness, smoothness and resilience
- Miraculously rejuvenates aged skin to its youthful appearance
The Importance of Collagen
Collagen is the most important protein in humans. About one quarter of all protein in your body is collagen. Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue. It has great tensile strength, and is the main component of ligaments and tendons.
Collagen and your Skin
While collagen is so important to your entire body, no where is its importance so visually prevalent than with your skin. Collagen is responsible for skin strength and elasticity. It is the principal structural protein holding the skin together. The quantity and quality of your skin's collagen has a major role in your appearance. As we age collagen degradation spins out of control and contributes to weakening and wrinkling of the skin.
Directions for Use
For best results, apply one pump of DermaSilk Collagen Gold to clean, dry skin. Use morning and evening on entire face. Continue with other skincare steps after Collagen Gold is completely absorbed.

Webinar: The Iran Nuclear Deal After One Year
Webinar: The Iran Nuclear Deal After One Year
Tuesday, June 28, 2016
3:00pm EDT
Join WAND as we hear from two Middle East policy experts, Barbara Slavin of the Atlantic Council and Kate Gould of Friends Committee on National Legislation, on successes and challenges to Iran Deal implementation.
Nearly a year has passed since six world powers and Iran signed a comprehensive nuclear agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program. In so doing, the chance of a military conflict between Iran and the United States or its allies was greatly reduced.
This webinar will cover what has happened since July 14, 2015 – the day the deal was signed – and potential challenges to further implementation, including geopolitics, compliance issues, and Congressional obstruction.

Journal article
Glassy dynamics in the low-temperature inhomogeneous ferromagnetic phase of the quantum spin ice Yb2Sn2O7
Here we present a detailed muon spin relaxation (mu SR), neutron diffraction, and ac-susceptibility study of Yb2Sn2O7 that shows that despite the onset of ferromagnetic long-range order at T-c approximate to 0.140 K, the low-temperature phase of this material remains highly disordered with glassy dynamics that span various frequency decades. We suggest that the observed disordered ground state might be made of infinite, percolating clusters coexisting with smaller ones. This mesoscopic cluster glass state would be the result of the enhanced effect of even a small amount of disorder, capable of disrupting the "clean" ordered state near a quantum critical point.

Hennepin County sheriff's deputies have arrested a Robbinsdale man for attempted murder after he shot at a SWAT team and forced a standoff that lasted more than two hours Thursday morning.Officials say 26-year-old Sahar Sandar Nikpay used a fully automatic assault rifle to shoot at a group of officers trying to serve a narcotics warrant at his home at 3326 Chowen Ave. N. The Sheriff's Department typically sends a tactical team to serve search warrants that are deemed "high risk."Because they were looking for drugs and weapons, they believed Nikpay was armed and dangerous, officials said. Sheriff Rich Stanek said when the tactical unit was going around to the back of the house, Nikpay shot at them from inside. Because this was a heavily populated residential neighborhood, the officers did not fire back.Instead, team members backed off and secured the area. Officers believed an LP tank was hit by the suspect's shots. A gas smell filled the neighborhood and law enforcement locked down about a four-block radius around the house.Authorities escorted neighbors, including eight children, to the nearby North Memorial Medical Center for safety. Hospital staff took everybody in and gave them free breakfast.Officers from Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, Eden Prairie, Edina and Minnetonka offered support to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department. Nikpay finally surrendered after more than two hours. Officers say he was alone in the house during the standoff.The Sheriff's Department said Nikpay has a history of violent crimes and weapons violations. He was booked into the Hennepin County Jail for attempted murder, but could face more charges.A tactical unit will still serve the narcotics warrant so the man could be charged with additional crimes depending on what officers find in the home.Renee Banot, email@example.com Thursday, April 08, 2010
