![]() ![]() There are three types of self-tests that a device can execute (all are safe to user data): For example, specifying -device=ata tells smartctl that the device type is ATA, and this prevents smartctl from issuing SCSI commands to that device. If SMART is available but not enabled, you can enable it: # smartctl -info /dev/sda | grep 'SMART support is:' SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability. The -i/ -info option prints a variety of information about a device, including whether SMART is available and enabled: Smartctl is a command-line tool that "controls the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) system built into most ATA/SATA and SCSI/SAS hard drives and solid-state drives." That done, you can manually #Run a test and #View test results, or you can use #smartd to automatically run tests and email notifications. You can use #smartctl to check for and enable SMART support. SMART support must be available and enabled on each storage device to effectively use these tools. ![]() Install the smartmontools package to use these tools. The smartmontools package contains two utility programs for analyzing and monitoring storage devices: smartctl and smartd. Statistics are collected (temperature, number of reallocated sectors, seek errors.) which software can use to measure the health of a device, predict possible device failure, and provide notifications on unsafe values. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a supplementary component built into many modern storage devices through which devices monitor, store, and analyze the health of their operation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The front of the template features a silhouette of a person standing in front of a large American flag, with the right hand placed over the heart of the person.

![]() This happened randomly then went back to normal. I had to increase the pressure (which felt more like pressing a button than pecking at a touchscreen) before it would recognize the gestures. Occasionally, the screen had difficulty responding to taps. Games and apps will take longer to launch and tap response is delayed. If many apps are open in the background, performance can get sluggish. Another time, I downloaded a game and watched the download complete and install, but when I tried to open it I was redirected to the game's download page in the app store and had to download it again.

James Martin/CNET Is it unbelievably slow? We've never seen tablet at this price that was worth recommending. The review answers the important questions by focusing on what the Fire has to offer, if it's worth buying and, if so, for whom. Since it's a tablet with specs so dated we haven't reviewed a comparable model in over two years, it's an exception to the rule. Just like the Fire, this review is simplified to the bare essentials. At a price this low, you can buy six of them for less than the cost of one Apple iPad Mini 2 - you pay for five and Amazon throws in the sixth for free. For an undiscerning user, the Fire is simply an inexpensive device for watching video, reading, light gaming, browsing the Web and, of course, shopping the Amazon store. In fact, it's a great option for those who don't care much about technology at all. (Amazon doesn't typically sell hardware in Australia, but the US price converts to about AU$70.) It's an unremarkable-looking tablet that runs Amazon's custom Fire OS 5 Bellini operating system, which is based on Android but can't natively access the Google Play store, and offers easy access to Amazon's vast media library.Īt its low price, the Fire is an attractive option for frugal customers who don't care about the latest and greatest technology.

(A product with all the convenience and less risk than the slip lead is the martingale variety of the show lead, which can tighten only to a specified point martingale collars are covered below). This means that, like a choke chain, the collar part can tighten without limit, so there is potential for choking the dog.īecause dogs in shelters often must be moved quickly without time for collar fitting, this can be an acceptable brief use. The leash is pulled through the ring to form a slip collar at one end. A slip lead is actually a leash/collar combination, made of a length of nylon or leather with a handle at one end and a ring at the other. These are collars of convenience, often used by animal shelters and rescues, but also often in conformation showing. It’s critical that handlers are taught how to use this tool properly: gently and with great awareness. Doing so can badly injure the dog’s neck or even paralyze him. A handler must never yank or pull hard on the leash, or allow the dog to hit the end of the leash with force when it’s attached to a head halter. ![]() Our final reservation has to do with the fact that this tool can be used to severely injure a dog if used improperly. If you try this collar with your dog, be prepared to discover that your dog is one of the many for whom it is not appropriate because it is aversive. In other words, the discomfort of the collar just suppresses the behaviors you don’t like he hasn’t learned to exhibit the behaviors you enjoy more in order to earn rewards from you. You can see dogs who have worn these for years but still try to rub them off every chance they get.Īnother concern about head halters is that they tend to shut down behavior, so you may think you’re seeing a behavior change when, in fact, the dog is so stressed by the head collar that he stops offering unwanted behaviors. Other dogs dislike head halters no matter how much conditioning is done. That said, if the handler takes enough time to properly condition a dog to a head collar, some dogs learn to accept the collars and seem reasonably comfortable with them. While they look kinder to us than prong and shock collars, if they are aversive to the dog, they are not a force-free training tool. Our first reservation about these collars is that many dogs (perhaps even the majority) find them mildly to extremely aversive. A dog who is accustomed to pulling hard on leash with a conventional collar will find that he cannot easily pull while wearing a head collar. This gives the handler greater physical control of the dog’s head – and where the head goes, the body follows. While there are many different varieties and brands of head collars, they all function by moving the point of attachment from the dog’s neck to the dog’s head. Then there are the products we would support the use of, in just the right situation, and in the right hands. ![]() Dog Collars for Special Situations: Not for Every Dog The bottom line with all these collars is that they work because they hurt or intimidate your dog – not a good training philosophy. In contrast, we value confident dogs who are willing to offer behavior, something that many dogs who have been trained with behavior-suppressing methods don’t often do. ![]() These tools and the old-fashioned ways they are typically used often result in shutting dogs down – not something we want to see in our dogs. And recent studies overwhelmingly support the position that, while old-fashioned, force-based training methods can work, they also come with a significant risk of causing injury ( choke chains are known to damage canine tracheas) and creating behavioral problems, especially fear and aggression. In fact, shock-collar sales reps are quite skilled at convincing their clients that the application of an electrical stimulation doesn’t really hurt, while old-fashioned trainers are equally skilled at convincing these clients that the use of force is necessary to train a dog properly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Discussing as to why he chose to write songs, Ocean commented that "I feel at a higher level of consciousness when I'm being creative."Įventually, he landed songwriting gigs for established artists like John Legend and Justin Bieber where he made substantially more money. He began to write songs and he sold them to other recording artists selling his first song to Noel Gourdin at the age of 19.

After Hurricane Katrina hit his hometown of New Orleans, Ocean moved to Los Angeles to pursue a recording career. ![]() He made the decision to pursue a career in music at a young age, and as a teen, he did neighborhood chores to fund his early studio sessions. The mixtape was followed by the release of Ocean's debut album Channel Orange to similar critical acclaim in 2012.įrank Ocean was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Following its release, both Ocean and the mixtape have developed a cult following. Subsequently, Ocean collaborated with artists Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z after they were introduced to the mixtape through West. Recording artist Kanye West was reportedly a fan of the mixtape, which led to Ocean appearing on the album Watch the Throne. Controversy arose in March 2012 over the song "American Wedding", a remake of the song "Hotel California" by American rock band Eagles. The mixtape appeared on several music critics' and publications' end-of-year albums lists. In addition, his 2012 performance at the Coachella Music Festival included several live renditions from the release including "Strawberry Swing" and "LoveCrimes". Ocean embarked on a solo concert tour through North America and Europe to promote the record, playing a total of 7 shows. Both songs received music videos directed by Australian director Nabil Elderkin. Two singles were released from the aborted EP version: "Novacane", and "Swim Good". However, the release of the EP was indefinitely delayed in July 2011 and has since been cancelled. In May 2011, Def Jam announced its plans to release the mixtape as an EP on July 26, 2011. The cover features a picture of a bright orange 1980s BMW E30 M3, Ocean's "dream car", in plain sight amidst lush greenery. Following its release, the mixtape received rave reviews from music critics. The songs mostly focus on interpersonal relationships, personal reflection, and social commentary.

I hadn't thought about Dynastars before, and like the sound of the Idyll but am not finding a rental shop in Morzine that carries this. Though I am still curious to see if I can come across a Volkl Sol skier who likes to ski at a slower pace on these. I think the reason I must have all old models listed from last year is bc I was looking at skis on discount, so it makes sense. I find it so much better to hear from different women who have actually tried these skis themselves than a man in a ski shop who seems to be trying to push the best deal I could get (the Sol's DO seem like a good deal, however like someone said they are from last year so I'm sure anyplace that has these left will have good deals). Thanks so much everyone for all of this helpful information. Not sure how helpful that was, but there you have it FWIW.ĮTA: Here's a link to my reviews at the time: ![]() I haven't tried any of Salomon's newer skis for women, so I don't know how they 'd stack up. ![]() As for my Salomon Opals, I absolutely love 'em two seasons later on pretty much any and all terrain - maybe a model to consider if you can get your hands on them, though they also do love speed. I haven't tried the Sols or the Dynastars that MSL recommended. Maybe it was the tune, but they wouldn't grip the hardpack. I had the opposite experience with the K2 Burnin Luvs, which I recall seemed to slip out on turns and felt skittish and unstable. I found the Cloud 9s to be great intermediate carvers - very forgiving at all speeds and easy to turn, gave me that "rockstar" feeling - though I never demoed them in more snowy conditions so I'm not sure how they'd perform in powder, crud or bumps. What I found at the time, IIRC, is that the Atomic D2s were extremely heavy but I absolutely loved the Cloud 9s - they were in strong competition with the skis I ultimately bought, Salomon Origins Opals. I'm intermediate-ish and reviewed a couple of them in demos back in '11. I am most comfortable on blues everywhere, here and in europe.Ī few of those models are a couple of seasons old. Oh, and I don't know if it makes a difference in stature, but I am about 173 cm tall and 57 kg, and not as strong or flexible as I once was. Any advice on the Sols or any of the other skis based on my level? They did well when the conditions became icy late in the day, but I still am such a tense skier and am finding my turns to be very 'Z' shaped rather than 'S'. This past weekend I skied on a new pair of Atomic D2 73's. I am able to get my hands on the cloud 8 and the others perhaps, but the sale on the sols only lasts a bit longer and they only had one left in my size. I cannot seem to find a place on the mountain that has the sols to try, or the cloud 9. After looking online, it seems I keep coming across these volkls, some k2's burning love, the atomic cloud 8 or 9, or the dynastar exclusive activ lite. A local store has a great deal on a pair of Volkl Sols 2012. We will be skiing in the french alps this winter each weekend and I would like to buy some skis. After all these years returning, I find that I am still an intermediate who is now a bit more fearful, and still would love to ski with a bit more finesse and closer skis. Now I am skiing with my family (2 young kids learning to ski) and almost 40. I am a returning skier after many years (the last pair of skis I owned were long skinny harts in high school skiing on the east coast). ![]() ![]() ![]() The object is to hit the ball and get it in the It's a 3D game based on the first arcade game, "Pong."
