The goal of performance tuning is to improve the output based on certain hardware. You should pay particular attention to the tuning parameters that apply to your hardware and network configurations.
This article shows you how to conduct performance tuning in three aspects: the operating system, Lotus Domino, and Lotus Quickr. Tuning the operating system involves improving the performance of the operating system itself, which reacts to the performance of Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino. Lotus Quickr 8.1 supports the Microsoft® Windows®, AIX®, and System i® operating systems. Another layer, the Lotus Domino server, is the back end for Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino, so tuning the Lotus Domino server also reacts to improvements in the performance of Lotus Quickr.
A different version of Lotus Quickr, Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal, is not covered in this article. Here, when we refer to "Lotus Quickr," we mean Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino exclusively.
Tuning: The operating system aspect
This section describes how to tune performance from the operating system aspect: Microsoft Windows, AIX, and System i5.
Tuning the Microsoft Windows operating system
We cover these aspects of tuning the performance of Microsoft Windows:
- Background
- Virtual memory
- Services
- Register tuning
Background and virtual memory
Select Background services so that all programs receive equal amounts of processor time. Follow these steps:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Double-click System.
- Click the Advanced tab on the System Properties page.
- In the Performance frame, click Settings.
- Click the Advanced tab on the Performance Options page.
- Select Background services on the Processor scheduling frame.
To increase virtual memory, follow these steps:
- In the Virtual Memory frame, click Change.
- Customize the customer virtual memory size according to your logical disk volume.
Try to allocate your hard disk to different logical volumes, which can make it easy to expand virtual memory in different logical volumes. For the Windows operating system, install Lotus Quickr in the non-system hard disk. After Lotus Quickr has been running for a long time, fragmented files can make the system slow, which shows up as poor performance. To avoid this degradation in performance, you should run Disk Defragmenter weekly or biweekly.
Disable or remove unnecessary services
Some Windows system services are unnecessary for Lotus Quickr. For example, in most enterprise customer applications, users do not use the Print function of the Lotus Domino server; if that is the case, the administrator might disable the Print function and any other unnecessary services.
Disabling or removing unnecessary services is the best way to increase your server performance.
Register tuning
Apply the Registry changes shown in listing 1 to the Lotus Quickr server.
Listing 1. Registry changes
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] "TcpTimedWaitDelay"=dword:0000001e "MaxUserPort"=dword:0000fffe "TcpWindowSize"=dword:0000ffff "MaxFreeTcbs"=dword:00011940 "MaxHashTableSize"=dword:0000ffff
These tuning parameters cover several aspects of the Windows operating system. Let's discuss them one by one.
The TcpTimedWaitDelay parameter, which controls the amount of time the operating system waits to reclaim a port after an application closes a TCP connection, has a default value of four minutes. With heavy loads, these limits might be exceeded and so can result in an address in use: connect exception. If you experience address in use: connect exceptions, try to increase the value of MaxUserPort and TcpTimedWaitDelay in the Registry.
The MaxUserPort parameter determines the highest port number that TCP can assign when an application requests an available user port from the system. Typically, ephemeral ports (that is, those used only briefly) are allocated to port numbers 1024 through 5000.
To increase the throughput of the server, decrease TcpTimedWaitDelay from the default of four minutes to 30 seconds (0000001e), and increase MaxUserPort from the default of 5000 to 65,534 (0000fffe) as shown in listing 1.
The TCPWindowSize parameter sets the maximum TCP window. With the large TCP window size, fewer acknowledgments are sent back, resulting in more optimized network communication between the sender and the receiver. Change the default of 17,520 bytes to 65,535 (0000ffff ) bytes as shown in listing 1.
The MaxFreeTcbs parameter is the threshold number of active TCP connections required before TCP Control Blocks in the TIME-WAIT state are reused. Changing MaxFreeTcbs allows the system to avoid reusing TCP Control Blocks. We changed the value of MaxFreeTcbs from the default of 1m000 to 72,000 (00011940) as shown in listing 1.
The MaxHashTableSize parameter controls the size of the TCP Control Block (TCB) table. The TCB table stores the control values for each active TCP connection. On a server with many active network connections, a large TCB table can reduce the amount of time that the system spends to locate a particular TCB. We changed the value of MaxHashTableSize from the default of 512 (0X200) to 65,535 (0000ffff) as shown in listing 1.
For more information on tuning for Windows, refer to the IBM Redbooks® publication, "Tuning IBM System x Servers for Performance."
Tuning the AIX operating system
The AIX 5L operating system provides many parameters that let users tune to improve performance for Lotus Domino servers, which then can react to Lotus Quickr. You can tune from the Lotus Domino server account settings, network interface cards, processor and memory, disk I/O, and more. This section discusses some of these parameters.
Using S (system scope) as the value in the AIXTHREAD_SCOPE parameter means using one kernel thread per user thread instead of the default setting of one kernel thread per eight user threads. In the Lotus Notes® user profile, enter this parameter:
export AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=SNetwork interface
To improve transfer and receive large amounts of data, you can configure a couple of network adapter settings. For each active network adapter, the transmit queue (tx_for Ethernet) and the receive queue size should be increased to their maximum value.
To view the queue size for the ent0 adapter, use following command:
# lsattr -El ent0
To change the queue size parameters, perform the procedure shown in listing 2.
Listing 2. Changing queue size parameters
Bring down the interface: # ifconfig en0 detach Change the value of the appropriate parameter: # chdev -l ent0 -a tx_que_size=*** ent0 changed Bring the interface back to the up state: # ifconfig en0 up
Paging space tuning
Consider the following virtual member manager parameters:
- maxclient%
- maxperm%
- strict_maxperm
- strict_maxclient
- lru_file_repage
- lru_poll_interval
- minfree
- maxfree
You can change them by using the vmo command:
vmo -p -o <parameter>=<value>
For example, to set the minfree parameter to 1920, use the following syntax:
#vmo -p -o minfree=1920
You also can change these parameters by command: smitty tuning. For more detailed information, you can refer to the related tuning materials listed in the Resources section of this article.
Disk and I/O considerations
Use the iostat command ( iostat –DR and/or iostat –d) to look for hot disks, file systems, and disk queue depths that can be tuned to provide better storage throughput. If the read and write parameters are set too high, consider using storage area networks to increase performance.
For more AIX operating system tuning, see the IBM Redbooks publication, "AIX 5L Performance and System Tuning."
Tuning the System i5 operating system
Lotus Domino server on the System i5 operating system is an application that runs within its own subsystem, but also competes for overall System i5 system resources.

Processor tuning: Choosing processor priority
All the Lotus Domino jobs on System i5 run as batch immediate jobs, and all have a run priority of 20. If the response time rises exceptionally high during the times when you observe high processor utilization caused by jobs such as UPDATE or AMGR, you can reduce the priority of those tasks to improve performance.
Memory tuning: Choosing a memory pool to use
By default, all the Lotus Domino servers run in the BASE memory pool. Therefore, it makes sense to assign one of the shared pools to a single Lotus Domino subsystem. You can change the size and activity level of a shared pool and the expert cache behavior (paging option) with the CHGSHRPOOL or WRKSHRPOOL commands, and then you can use the CHGSBSD command to assign the pool to the subsystem.
Disk I/O tuning
Separating some auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) for journal files was essential to our test. Using ASPs is particularly important to separate the transaction logging files from the Lotus Domino data files and the Lotus Quickr cache from the Lotus Quickr data for performance reasons.
Network tuning
You can leverage a number of tools and parameters to improve the network performance on your system. The following section describes network tuning from a couple of aspects.
Interfaces and routes
By default, System i load balances network traffic across any configured network interface that shares a common route. Some switches generate a route table that includes the IP address of the host and the MAC address of the adapter that owns the IP address. You might experience performance problems related to this load balancing, though. By looking at CFGTCP menu option 2, you can identify how many routes your system has defined and determine whether they are bound to specific interfaces.
Host table and domain information
A Lotus Domino server frequently has to resolve its own name. Keep in mind that it is quicker to allow the Lotus Domino server to resolve its name in the local host table than to query DNS. Use menu options 10 and 12 on the CFGTCP menu to configure this setting.
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) size
An MTU of 1496 bytes is a good size for most Lotus Domino servers. Consult your network administrator for more information about MTUs and your switch's ability to handle large frames.
TCP/IP buffer size
You can increase Lotus Quickr Web serving performance by tuning the buffer size that is used by TCP/IP, especially when sending large amounts of data. If your network is reliable, try increasing the buffer size from the default (8000) to 64000.
TCPONLY for Ethernet
TCP/IP performance can be further improved by setting the TCPONLY parameter to *YES on an Ethernet line description. This setting decreases the TCP/IP code path length by limiting the code that is loaded in the IOP for the line description.
Line speed and duplex
The settings of the line description should match the hardware to which it is cabled. If the System i unit is cabled to a 1 GB switch and that switch is set to automatically negotiate the fastest line speed and duplex possible, the System i line description should be configured to match the settings.
For more information on System i5 operating system tuning, see the IBM Redbooks publication, "Domino for iSeries Sizing and Performance Tuning."
Tuning on the Lotus Domino server
Because Lotus Quickr runs on the Lotus Domino server, the performance tuning for the Lotus Domino server is also useful in improving Lotus Quickr server performance. Tuning Notes.ini parameters and Lotus Domino settings can improve Lotus Quickr performance.
Disable unnecessary Lotus Domino task in Notes.ini
The default Lotus Domino task list is listed in this Notes.ini:
If some of these tasks are not used in the user's environment, you can remove them from the Notes.ini. For example, in our single-server test environment, only the HTTP task is active:
To improve the Lotus Domino server performance, add the following parameters.
This variable specifies the maximum number of databases stored in the database cache (if enabled). For short intervals, Lotus Domino stores up to 1.5 times the number entered for this setting. Increasing the maximum number of databases improves performance but requires more memory.
This variable is used in conjunction with the NSF_DBcache_MaxEntries variable to allow the Lotus Domino server to cache the specified number of databases. You can set this variable to the maximum number of active or concurrent user databases for each Lotus Domino partition.
The setting in our environment is as follows:
NOTE: These parameters are related to your hardware, and so you should adjust them to optimize your particular hardware configuration.
Tuning in the Lotus Domino server setting
Lotus Quickr uses the Lotus Domino HTTP task, so the tuning for Lotus Domino Web setting also reacts to the Lotus Quickr performance.
Run Web agents and Web services concurrently
Lotus Quickr provides lots of Web services. Some functions can call Web services directly. Parts of some functions in the Blog and Wiki places are realized by the Lotus Domino agent. There are four agents in the Blog place and two agents in the Wiki place. Follow these steps:
- Open the names.nsf database in Lotus Quickr from the Lotus Notes client or connect to the Lotus Quickr server from the Lotus Notes Administrator client.
- Open the Lotus Quickr server document.
- Go to Internet Protocols - Domino Web Engine - Web Agents and Web Services.
There are two settings in this section:
- Run Web agents and Web services concurrently
- Web agent and Web services timeout
In our test environment, the option Run Web agents and Web services concurrently is selected. Keep the Web agent and Web services timeout value as the default value:"0", which means there is no time limit for run Web agents and Web services.
Max concurrent agents
Most Lotus Quickr customers are global companies, so their workload is almost the same during daytime and nighttime. Therefore, adjust the Max concurrent agents setting from the names.nsf database by selecting the following:
Server tasks - Agent Manager - Daytime Parameters/Nighttime Parameters - Max concurrent agents
The value scope for the daytime and nighttime parameters ranges from 0 to 10; customers can adjust the value according to their workload. In our test environment, both the daytime and nighttime parameters are set to 10.
This section describes only some of the ways to tune the Lotus Domino server performance. In fact, there are many Lotus Domino server tuning methods and parameters. Almost all of them react to the performance of Lotus Quickr. For more details, refer to Lotus Domino performance materials listed in the Resoures section of this article.
Tuning on Lotus Quickr
This section describes performance tuning for Lotus Quickr itself and covers tuning the Notes.ini and qpconfig.xml settings.
Disable unnecessary Lotus Quickr services tasks in Notes.ini
After Lotus Quickr server installation, the following tasks are added automatically to the Notes.ini file by the Lotus Quickr server. If some of them are unnecessary for your current application, you can comment them out from the Notes.ini to improve Lotus Quickr performance.
ServerTasksAt3=Object Info -Full
ServerTasksAt4=qptool refresh -a,qptool report -policyexecute,qptool register –a
For a detailed explanation about these server tasks, refer to the related materials listed in the Resources section of this article.
Tuning Lotus Quickr in Notes.ini
There are many parameters in the Notes.ini file about Lotus Quickr performance. Let's discuss some of them here.
This variable enables or disables caching. Set QuickPlaceWebCacheEnabled=1 to enable caching. To disable server caching, set QuickPlaceWebCacheEnabled=0. The server cache is enabled by default.
QuickPlaceWebCacheDir=<full path>
The default cache directory is <DOMINOPROGRAM>>\data\domino\quickplace\cache. If this variable is not set in the Notes.ini file, then it is automatically set to the default directory. If a specified directory path is invalid, the server cache is disabled. The Lotus Quickr server reads and writes cache frequently from the directory, so set the directory on a RAID disk system or separate disk from the Lotus Quickr server code. If there is only one physical disk on the Lotus Quickr server, set the directory to a different logical hard disk from the Lotus Quickr server code.
QuickPlaceWebCacheLimitInMB=<Size in MB>
This variable controls the cache recycle size limitation. If the cache size is less than the set value, Lotus Quickr does not recycle the cache. If the cache size is greater than the setting, the Lotus Quickr server recycles the cache size to the set value. The default size is 50 MB.
Commonly, the larger the variable is, the better the Lotus Quickr performance. Note that if this variable is set too large, the Lotus Quickr server spends more resources to handle the larger cache size.
QuickPlaceWebCacheGCIntervalInMIN=<time interval in minutes>
This variable is used to set the time interval for cache cleaning; the default value is 60. The Lotus Quickr server judges the cache with the set time interval; if the cache size is greater than the QuickPlaceWebCacheLimitInMB setting, then the cache size is recycled to the set interval. The Lotus Quickr server performance can be poor when the cache is recycled, so be careful not to increase the time interval too much.
This variable is used to enable (1) or disable (0) the ability to check for the version number of the Lotus Quickr server.
QuickPlaceExpireCachedUsers=<time interval in seconds>
This variable is used to specify the length of time that user entries remain in the cache before the server removes them. The default for the interval is 120 seconds.
QuickPlaceTimedHashTableTimeout =<time interval in seconds>
This variable is used to set the frequency of the LDAP cache renewal used by Lotus Quickr.
This variable is used to specify the maximum number of user entries allowed in the cache. When the cache reaches the specified number, older entries are removed to make room for new ones. By default, 64 user entries are allowed in the cache.
These are the parameters settings used in our system test:
QuickPlaceWebCacheDir= D:\QuickrCache
Tuning using the Lotus Quickr qpconfig setting
qpconfig.xml, located in the Lotus Domino data and shown in listing 3, is another important file for Lotus Quickr performance tuning. You can change some settings in this file to improve Lotus Quickr performance.
Listing 3. The qpconfig.xml file
<place_catalog_servers> <server> <domino_server_name>qpcat/IBM</domino_server_name> <nsf_filename>PlaceCatalog.nsf</nsf_filename> <statistics enabled="true" update_interval="<time interval in minutes>"/> </server> </place_catalog_servers> </place_catalog>
The update_interval parameter is used to specify the place catalog update interval period in minutes. The setting used in our system test environment is 1440.
For more Lotus Quickr tuning information, refer to the QuickPlace Version 7.0 Administrator's Guide.
This article discusses how to improve the performance of Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino from three aspects: the operating sytem, Lotus Domino, and Lotus Quickr. The parameters discussed in this article are important in improving the performance of Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino. They are suitable for Lotus Quickr 8.0, Lotus Quickr 22.214.171.124, and Lotus Quickr 8.1. In our test environment, we compare some the performance of some transactions before and after tuning. Almost all transactions' performance improved after tuning, with some improving by 20 percent to 40 percent.

Mark Vorpahl: Between sequestration and the billions of cuts to social programs that Obama is pushing, it is evident that the economic policies of both major parties are not intended to promote a recovery for working people.
Jobs Report Shifts Campaign Rhetoric
Nia-Malika Hendewrson and Rachel Weiner: Two days after Romney reignited his campaign with a winning debate performance, Republicans were struggling once again to find their footing after a positive September jobs report muted the campaign's main talking point.
A New Conversation about Public Spending Needed
Tanya Acker: People who can't read, however, are very easy to divide and even easier to command. No demagoguery can save us from that.

West Allis passes measure opposing unfunded mandates
West Allis - The Common Council is calling on the Legislature not to adopt any unfunded mandates that the city has to pay for, such as expansion of employee health insurance benefits.
The Legislature approved new health insurance benefits for state and local government employees, which took effect Jan. 1, without providing any money to local governments to pay for them, Ald. Michael Czaplewski said.
In turn, Czaplewski proposed the resolution approved Tuesday in an effort to stop unfunded state mandates of all types.
The resolution also says that if the state passes any more mandates regarding pay or benefits for government employees, that it also give local governments the power to pass on the costs to employees.
The new health insurance benefits include required coverage of dependents up to age 27, if they are not married or employed and covered by employer health insurance; coverage of autism treatment; and 100% coverage, up from 80%, of hearing aids and cochlear implants for deaf children.

Research shows that children who get an early start in life with a good education are more likely to become law-abiding adults.
So a campaign by law enforcement and school officials in the region and around the nation to support early education programs makes good sense on several fronts.
The "Fight Crime: Invest in Kids" campaign - which advocates more support and funding for early learning as a critical crime-fighting tool - took District Attorney Seth Williams to Penn Alexander School Tuesday. The top prosecutor read to a Head Start class.
Prosecutors like Williams are recognizing that the "lock-'em-up" strategy doesn't work. Early education is more likely to keep kids out of trouble to begin with.

New Podcast Episode: Episode 47 - Work Flexibility
My assumptions are:
Is counted each time there's a visit to your gig/profile AND the visitor doesn't click on anything. Just looks
Is counted when your gig appears with other seller gigs ie on a Category page let's say For example: a viewer searches for 'translate English to Portuguese' and your gig appears with other sellers
davidverissimo said: I always have a HUGE difference between these two.
because, continuing with the example above, there are other sellers offering translation services and yours appears alongside them in the search results 🙂
bachas85 said: I still don't know the difference between clicks and page views.
Clicks are counted when a viewer has clicked on anything placed on your gigs ie a video, title, image, live portofolio example 🙂
PageView = appearing alone
Impression = appearing with others
Clicks = viewer is interested in something on your page/gig (This is the most important of the three as viewer has made an effort to find out more about your gig by actually clicking something on your Fiverr profile or gig)
As I said, these are my assumptions, therefore, doesn't mean they are correct :-B

Political Thought Since 1945: Philosophy, Science, Ideology
The purpose of this book is to give an account of political thought since 1945. Its scope is confined to the "western" - in effect American and Euopean traditions. Within the range the book concerns itself with ideas claiming to be philosophic, social-scientific or ideological in character, and which deserve academic recognition. It is not concerned with popular influence or mass following: not all ideas described became "operational" in the period. There are two methods of exposition. Primarly there are chapters on seven major political thinkers. The aim of these chapters is to explain the thought of the writers as it is; there are subsidiary comments and criticism at the end of each chapter, and guides to further reading. The selection of the seven was made by the editors, after much discussion. The ultimate criterion was the need of students to know something about the ideas of the thinker. The editors then invited five scholars to contribute studies of the thinkers on the lines indicated. The first chapter describes the ideas of some other political thinkers and in doing so tries to show what sort of debates were current, and thereby tries to "place" the chosen seven in the intellectual ambience of which they were part. The book is primarily historical or retrospective in intent. By chance, its period is that of the Cold War. Nevertheless, one of the experiences of the period was that of delayed recognition, apparent with Hayek, Oakeshott, Gramsci, Bobbio and others. Even now, therefore, some of the notions here expounded are maturing, and more should be heard of them yet.

There's new way to do marketing – Your way.
Marketing isn't what you do – it's an expression of who you are
We've been told that the right way to do marketing was to first look outside yourself, identify a profitable market and then change and alter yourself and your business in a way that looks appealing to them so that they will buy from you instead of the other guy.
Is it any wonder why we run from any conversation that even smells like selling?
We hate selling because we think that we are conning or convincing someone to buy something they don't want or need.
That fear and failure stems from being something and someone that you are not.
The reality is that the old ways of marketing are dead –
· We are sick of over-the-top promises
· We are tired of corporate-speak
· We are skeptical of million-dollar marketing messages
More than anything, we crave an authentic human connection
Let's put it another way: We just want to buy from people we like who are like us.
We don't want fancy marketing messages. We want straight talk about what we are buying and we want to trust who we're buying it from. We want to be able to look the people we buy from in the eye and know they are doing right by us.
What if you were your best marketing machine?
What if simply being who you are, and sharing THAT with the world, was the marketing magnet you were looking for?
We call that your Signature Strength – and when you unleash its power, your business and your life will never be the same.
Suddenly you are a living breathing marketing machine.
Because you market from your strength, you are naturally enthusiastic and you can't wait to share your solution with the world.
It's finally your turn to have what you want, the way you want it.
Most of us spent at least 18 years of our lives being told what to do by our parents, teachers, friends, or the media.
We graduate under the guise of having the freedom to create our future and control our destiny- only to get a job and, once again, be told what to do by our boss, their company and their customers.
We're told we're an asset, but our ideas are often ignored, our successes appropriated, and we find ourselves subjugated and twisted beyond recognition.
We always believed we could do it better than those in charge.
So we said to hell with them and went our own way.
Here's the best news you'll hear all day: There's no one like YOU
This is your business. Your baby.
There isn't another one like it because there isn't anyone out there like you.
You are unique – by definition; no one has your eyes, your fingerprints or your soul.

What a great way to dress up nonalcoholic basics. I've tried this with sparkling grape juice, non-alcoholic champagne, and a variety of flavored seltzers - tangerine lime is my favorite, with a splash of lime juice on top of the orange bitters. I want to also try some fruit syrups - I've got a raspberry quince that I bet will be great - as well as some different bitters - never knew there was anything other than Angostura!
It's surprising how close to the taste of champagne this is. We enjoyed it for Thanksgiving today and it was a hit with everyone. It would be great for any festive occasion where alcohol isn't wanted or if you want to offer both alcohol and an option.
A very nice drink! I didn't have orange bitters, so used Angustora bitters and added a splash of orange juice. Thanks Syd! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

Is getting through this temple a boring/tedious task?
Hope not.
Not boring just very confusing if you get lost. I got lost a couple of times. Make sure to save your game after Ooccoo beams you out of the dungeon. Otherwise you will have to start at the beginning of the Temple when you return to play....Like I forgot too.........

The ratings on SociThe ratings on Société Foncière Lyonnaise S.A. (SFL)--one of the five largest listed property investment companies in France and one of the 20 largest in Europe--reflect the company's ?2.5 billion unencumbered prime Paris property portfolio (valued at June 30, 2001), well diversified by property type and tenant. SFL is pursuing its strategy of increasing its exposure to the high-end office sector in Paris' central business district and gradually reducing its stake in the very low-risk sector of prime Parisian residential property. At end-September 2001, the office and town-center retail sectors represented 76% of SFL's rental income, whereas the company's former area of focus, the high-end residential Parisian market, only accounted for 18% (versus 43% three years earlier).

text: Review Content "Once upon a cool night" I love this pillow. After spending many night turning my pillow, I can finally rest easy. My family is very impressed with them, so I guess their getting pillow for Christmas. Thank you Sharper Image for something that works. Best Pillow you can buy This is the third pillow Ive purchased. The other two were "borrowed" and never returned. My Dad has one, under his feet. He has several health problems including edema in his feet. This pillow is soft, comfortable and keeps him cool. The other one went to my puppy. He took a nap on it and now wont give it up. keeps my head cool all night Best cooling pillow I have owned...well worth the money because it works... Sleeping on it right now! People with MCS would like the low odor. Also good for those going through menopause and sleep too hot. Like it! I bought this pillow because I was waking up multiple times because my head was hot. I had an icomfort pillow that I bought with expectations of it staying cool, but that pillow gets warm fast. This pillow stays cool much longer. I no longer wake up because my head is warm. The pillow where your head is can get lukewarm but just turn over. The pillow gives me much better sleep. Bonus - the thickness of the pillow is perfect for back or side sleeping. Thank you! I used to wake at night drenched from sweat, which really made my wife happy...just kidding. Ive always heard that if you keep your head warm/cold, your body will follow. I figured maybe if I could keep my head from getting too hot my body would also be at a comfortable temperature. Well...it worked! So far at least, and I really think this pillow is helping. Thanks Sharper! Sweat-free Nights Sleep! This is the best pillow I have ever owned. If you suffer from night-sweats, you will love this pillow! It keeps you cooler than you have ever been before. This new technology fiber keeps the pillow at a regulated temperature therefore keeping you comfortable, and there is no thermostat! I dont know how it does it, I just know it does. I dont know how a thermos bottle keeps hot things hot and cold things cold either, but it does! The price might be a little high for some people to pay for a pillow but I think that it is well worth the investment. Temperature Regulating Pillow This is a perfect gift for my sons and their wives No More Sweaty Pillow This is a nice pillow, it doesnt stay cooler to my touch, but I have noticed that I no longer wake up with wet hair. I was hoping I wouldnt have to turn my pillow over as much so that it would feel cool, but that isnt the case. However, it has to be cooler in that I no longer wake up sweaty with wet hair. I would buy this product again! I purchased the Temperature Regulating Pillow as a Christmas gift for my brother. It arrived on time and packaged well. The moment I felt this pillow, I knew I had made a good decision in choosing it. It was cool to the touch on both sides and and the fabric felt great and was of good quality! It came with a pillow cover to protect it too! He is going to love this pillow....no more turing pillows over throughout the night!! I will definitely be buying more of them! Too hot to sleep My husband is a person who gets extremely overheated when he sleeps, wakes up coughing and red, he topically has to get up to cool off. He doesnt get up near as often, he can actually get a good night sleep more often. Thank you Not so cool It doesnt do what they say. It is not cooler. I am going back to my old regular pillow. Perfect sleeping pillow I have tried many pillows and this is the most comfortable one I have had. Great comfort. I would definitely recommend this pillow I was disappointed when I opened the pillow as it felt rather flimsy and flat. After trying it out, I was quite impressed by how well it worked. I didnt wake up once all night to flip my pillow. I wish it were a bit more firm; however, I am pleased that it keeps my head cool at night. High Quality Pillow My husband received this pillow as a gift and feels as if this is the best pillow he has ever slept on! Since used, he has not commented once on being too warm while sleeping.Thank you for offering such a unique item! Great pillow I really like this pillow. I am no longer waking up with a sweaty head. Although the pillow does get slightly warm where I am sleeping, I can move it to find a cool spot. It is slightly thicker than I normally like, but very comfortable. Love this pillow Great pillow, stays on the cool side, I would buy this again. Highly recommend. One of the best pillowsI have ever used. Finally...a pillow to love! This pillow is both soft, and holds it shape all night...something that I have searched for as long as I can remember. The advertised feature of regulating your head temperature seemed dubious to me, but I used to sometimes wake up in a literal sweat, and that has ceased. A nice bonus was the included fitted pillow cover.... I wish that I had found this pillow 20 years ago...Id be 5 years younger today! Great now, but time will tell The pillow was a pleasant surprise. The cooling effects work pretty well- better than anticipated. However, I am a little worried about the pillow going flat in a short period of time. I give this thing a year max before if needs to be replaced. Will be interesting to see how well the manufacturer stands behind their product and warranty. BEST PILLOW EVER! IF you want the best nights sleep youve ever had, buy this pillow. Good quality materials and its comfortable. I hesitated at first because of the price since it was a "gift" to myself. It is worth every penny, and I deserve a second one. Thanks Sharper Image, your products are the best; excellent service and quick shipping keeps bringing me back. Not As Advertised! Im so disappointed in this pillow. It gets more hot than the not temperature regulating one I had before. Very expensive for a pillow that doesnt do what it was advertised to do. Very cool to the touch Pricey, but it works,worth every penny A pretty good pillow! Was hoping this pill!ow worked. It does! I dont need to change his pillow cases every morning and air dry his pillow! Its amazing. Im getting another one 4 the cottage. Its great!!!! No complaints, it does what its suppose to do. Great product! Awesome Pillow Wasnt sure about this pillow because I have purchased others that have claimed the same.....stay cool without flipping the pillow, but after just one night it was true, I didnt have to keep flipping my pillow to the cool spot. I purchased two, one for me and one for my husband, he said he didnt want it, but I told him to try it, he said it was the greatest pillow he has had in a long time, great support and very comfortable....great investment. better slepp I am having difficulty sleeping because I get hot, then cold, then hot, then cold...goes on and on all night. Getting cold is easy, just use a blanket. But the hot is harder. This pillow is nice for a minute or so, but then its temperature is just like any other. I try to move my head to find a colder spot, but I end up with my face on the very corners of the pillow which is not great. I even feel like once the pillow is heated up from my body heat, the heat gets hotter than a normal pillow. This is not great. This is better than nothing though. And the pillow itself is very comfortable, soft and smooth. I do like that first moment that I lay on it, it is nice and cool. When I wake at night, I move my head to a cold spot if I can find one and hope to fall back to sleep before the spot warms up. It is working ok for me. Not great, but just ok. My pillow is fantastic. My pillow is fantastic. I have a problem with my head getting too hot while sleeping. With this pillow & pillow case, I am sleeping much better. "Very COOL pillow" Purchased pillow for its cooling properties for those nights of head perspiration. So far so good. Pillow is vey comfortable and stays cool throughout the night. Great buy! Best ever Pillow. Have been searching for a quality pillow that has a resilient filling and quality construciton. This one fits the billperfectly. Cool and soft This pillow was soft and cool to the touch. Works wonders to fall asleep on but is not the be all to keeping cool. I would recommend as it works as advertised Incredible pillow This pillow is incredible. It is so comfortable and definitely lives up to its description about keeping cool. Highly recommended. Did not meet expectation I purchased the pillow because it promised to remain cool during the night. I have not noticed any difference between this pillow and the other pillows that I have. I still turn the pillow over multiple times during the night to find a cool side. Only cool at first I was excited to get this as a Christmas gift. When I first put my head down, it is wonderfully cool and comfy. But, during the night, it heats up and moving my head doesnt bring cooling. Its even hot on the back, so I cant roll it over. Its a comfortable pillow, but doesnt help my heat problem. A Comfortable Pillow It really does keep a constant temperature. No need to flip pillows anymore. Best nights sleep ever! Because the pillow maintains a constant temperature you get a more restful night sleep not searching for the cool spot. On top of that its squeezable squishable and yet bounces back in the morning for a perfectly made bed. Cant beat it with a stick ladies! At Last! At last! A cooling pillow that delivers! No more waking up in the middle of the night with a sweaty head & neck. The pillow remains cool yet offers exceptional support & comfort. The pillowcase included is a little tight for the pillow making it a little puffy & a bit firmer. I unzipped the case which allows the pillow to become a little softer or you can use a standard pillow case, but the case included is stain resistant - so you choose whichever would be best for your needs. Im going to buy more!! Awesome product This pillow was a gift request from my son. He has been thoroughly pleased with this pillow and I no longer hear complaints of being hot at night!! The package also arrived within 3 days of purchase after giving a week delivery time. Great experience with product and company! Perfect for a cool head while sleeping! Ive been searching for a pillow that would keep me comfortable and cool throughout the night. Sharper Image has produced one! No longer do I wake up with a hot head. The temperature seems to acclimate and stay just right. It comes with a pillow cover and a nice bag for storage. This product really works! I suffered from nightly sweats, waking up with my head/hair dripping and my pillow soaked. Since I started using this product, the sweats are all but gone. I wake up much less often, and I never need to flip the pillow. I also purchased the temp control pillow cases, which help add to the effectiveness of the pillow. Thanks for a great product! Cool Pillow It provides good neck support. I am just disappointed that I didnt get the promised pillow case. Not Cool Enough For Hot Flashes This pillow does not stay cool enough, long enough for my preference. I bought it because I have severe hot flashes often and thought this would be a solution to hot areas around my head and neck. It remains cool for just a few seconds and then I have to flip it to find more cooling relief. It is a very comfortable pillow if comfort is your top priority. I will give it a few more nights of use before deciding whether to return it or not. This pillow is my new friend This pillow has improved my sleeping experience so far. It keeps me cooler and I sleep easier. Very comfy and although softer than I expected, it does not lose its shape & bounces right back to original form. I recommend it highly. Very nice Very comfortable for back or side sleeping. sleep like a baby I bought three pillows. Two for our bed and the other wad a Christmas present. Helps keeps me asleep. Have gone through a lot of different kind of pillows. I can wash the pillow. Love this pillow & helps alot when Im hot flashing Definitely Keep a regulated temp best sleep I had in months!! Dont bother This pillow is comfortable, but doesnt do a thing to help with temperature regulation. Dont bother if youre looking for help with that, but if you want an over-priced pillow then this is the pillow for you. Good Pillow to Stay Cool I have over-heating issues while sleeping and wanted to try this out as a possible solution. With the right pillow-case (i.e. thin cotton breathable), this pillow does keep me a bit cooler at night. Not a cure-all, but a help. Great pillow! I got this for my wife, who is a redhead and is ALWAYS complaining about being too warm. So far she loves it. As for me Im bald, and after putting my head on the pillow for a few minutes I can tell you its really as cool as advertised. Also, it looks big and this was a concern since our last pillows were comparably flat, but it had plenty of "give" and was very comfortable. Thinking about getting on for myself now too! A+ Great product, is as advertised. Product is as advertised. Feels cool when head is placed on it. Very soft to the touch. Seems good I think it looks like a great pillow. I bought it for my husbands birthday. However, he is used to a really flat pillow and only slept on it for about 2 hours before he grabbed his old pillow. Since I am unable to return it (its apparently a personal item), its just sitting in the closet for now. We may re-gift it. Miss my gel pillow. I had a gel cooling pillow for years and was in search of another. When I saw this one it looked better than the gel on one side because I could turn this one over. I really wanted a queen but only king was available. Good thing it is large because I move from one part to the next all night and it never really keeps my head cool and comfortable. I do love the blanket!!! I actually bought another one. The pillow does stay cool. Love my new pillow! I had a great pillow before but I would wake up because my pillow got too hot. I no longer have this problem and can sleep all night long. Sooths as you Sleep Find that the coolness of the pillow is very soothing to minor aches and pains, and can function on different body parts simultaneously. Product meets claim Pillow really met expectations surprisingly works! This pillow is cool to the touch and stays cool throughout the night. Helps with people who often sweat at night. I bought it for my husband and he lovesit! We also boought the mattress pad. Nice SOFT pillow. Not a firm one Firm pillow users beware! This is a very nice pillow , but if you like a firm pillow to sleep on its not for you. The pillow is very soft. True to its advertisment. I recently purchased 2 Temperature Regulating Pillows and couldnt be more pleased. I cannot sleep when it is too warm, and these pillows cool me off, thus a good nights sleep. Amazing difference in sleep already I didnt believe this pillow would actually stay cool and make a difference in my quality of sleep. I was wrong. I have slept on it for 6 nights now and have slept better than I have in years. It stays cool and is the perfect size and firmness. Its pricey though but worth it. Definitely get 2. Its a good offer. Finally a cool night sleep I used to wake up every night looking for a cool spot on my pillow. I decided I had nothing to loose... and I ended up gaining a wonderful night sleep with a pillow which does the work for me.. without waking me up. lay your head on this rock I could only try to sleep on this pillow for about 15 minutes. Neck became sore , pillows already too hot. Im going back to down. More comfortable than expected Well for those of us women who experience hot flashes, or for anyone whose body temperature is on the fritz, this pillow may help. About 6 months into my "flashes" I find sleeping through the night is my biggest complaint. For me the heat starts in my neck area so I finally got smart and thought to research pillows that claim to be cooling. The hubby has a different kind of cooling pillow but its hard and somewhat like memory foam, thats just not comfortable to me. However this one is soft and comfortable the very first night. I didnt notice a drastic difference until a week later when I realized I was not waking up dripping wet from my neck up. Im very, very happy with this purchase, just wish I could walk around all day with this pillow strapped to my neck ; ) Nice pillow Love the cool comfort features Excellent cooling pillow This is my second pillow purchased. Not enough firmess The pillow was not firm enough. My head sunk down like there was no pillow there. In another catalog they had 3 different Densities which I may try. The material under the pillow cover was not smooth and would create wrinkles in ones face. Will definitely buy this pillow again? It does what it says. Since I started using it I have not broken out in a sweat And have not had to continuously flip the pillow to find a cool spot. Love this pillow. Comfortable and sturdy Comfortable and holds its shape at an appropriate level. Great pillow The pillow stays cool. I would recommend this pillow to anyone I suffered from hot bed head for years and this pillow solved the problem. I think its great! I never have to flip it over to get cool. The best! I ordered a king size pillow. It arrived in excellent condition. As soon as the pillow was taken out of box, I could feel the coolness. There is also a quality pillow protector included. I have bought countless pillows in the past that advertised they were "cool pillows" but this is the first time it fit the bill. I have had 3 nights of perfectly wonderful sleep on the pillow. I can sleep on my right, left or stomach during the night and still be comfortable with this pillow. I have been compensated for this review, even if not, I would be a "Happy Camper". "still trying to figure out if it works" I use the product to get a good nights sleep. Im not sure if it works to completely eliminate night sweats, but I do think Im getting more sleep. Its really soft and comfortable. Even if doesnt stop the night sweats, I would still like it just for the comfort. Really Works! I have searched for a cooling pillow that really works for a long time. This product is the best that my husband and I have ever experienced!!! The product performed as advertised The main problem I have encountered over the years with bed pillows has been they feel too warm when I try to sleep. Turning the pillow over has done little to change the feeling. I read about the Sharper Image Temperature Pillow, and though I had my reservations whether it would work or not, I purchased one. In fact, it works great! I enjoy the cool feeling on my face when I hit the bed, and besides the cooling effect, the pillow itself is comfortable and supportive. I would definitely recommend this product, something I rarely do. Really Works! This really works. I am a "hot" sleeper and this pillow helps me stay cool all night. Cooling Pillow works! My husband sweats on his old pillows while sleeping. This pillow has helped him with cooling his head all night. I got jealous and purchased myself one. I love sleeping on a cool pillow all night long! Perfect pillow This is the best pillow I have ever used.. My husband loves it too, and he is hard to please with pillows. The pillow stays cool and comfortable all of the time. I am undergoing chemo, and my body temperature is off right now. Hot flashes are really made better with this pillow. What a COOL pillow. Love this pillow. It stay cool longer than any other pillow I have tried. Best pillow ever I bought this pillow just to try it because I have trouble with hot flashes. I fell in love with it the very first night that I used it. Not only does it really help keep me cooler but it is the most comfortable pillow I have ever owned. I never knew that I could love a pillow but it seems that I can. I have recommended it to everyone I know and I also bought my sister-in-law one for her birthday. I cant say enough nice things about it. Is it Chilly in here? I dont need to flip this pillow like my previous one,and it really feels cool. cool it! pillow not so thick that my neck is out of alinement. I dont awaken with a stiff neck. Its a great pillow! Love the cooling feature of the pillow. Helps to keep you cool at night to sleep better. What a GREAT Idea ! Got 2 of these pillows, one for me, and one for my wife. We both love them !!

Livin' the Dreamforce 2015: Can Salesforce seize the day?
By Paul Greenberg on October 6, 2015
Dreamforce 2015, as always, was more than an event – it was a destination. Mixed in with all the glamor and glitz were some important announcements, and some interesting hints at not just the direction that Salesforce is going, but the things that it should be doing to get there faster – and even differently. If they dare.

How to Think About The Huge Expenses of Events and Tradeshows
By Jason M. Lemkin on August 17, 2015
Events and trade shows. They're expensive. You don't get enough booth traffic. The folks that do come by are too junior. It sucks up days at a time. The air is convention-center nasty. Too much ice cream, too much alcohol, too many almost-all-dudes parties. How can it be worth it? Even just $25,000 for […]

Letters to the Editor
I enjoyed [Matt Welsh's] article Thou Shalt Not Use MS-DOS, in the latest issue of LJ. I think what [he] said is true, but misses a point Phil Hughes has alluded to in an earlier editorial.
I think the reason that Linux; and free software in general; is so great is that it's an incredible consumer value. According to the dictum, "what do you put in to it, what do you get out of it, and what about support?", most commercial software falls right down flat: it's expensive to buy, you often can't try it out in advance, and if it's broke you're at the mercy of the vendor, who is the only one with the source code.
If free software was free but you didn't get the source, it would be terrible; you could try it in advance, but when it finally did break, no doubt in the middle of an important project, you would be stuck. On the other hand, if payware came with source code, it would be a much better deal: when it broke, you could ask the manufacturer to fix it, or you could call your local hacker and negotiate a price based on how soon you need it fixed. Of course even payware with sources still doesn't let you test it all in advance of buying it, but it's a much better consumer value.
Consider the auto industry for a moment. It will cost you about as much to service a car over its life as it cost to buy in the first place. Would you pay double the price up front in order to avoid paying for service down the road? Yet this is just what software houses do, since the only way they can pay for customer support is by charging more for the product. It's no wonder software support is so lousy! This is why being able to hire your own hacker is so important.
And thus a common point of confusion about free software: it is free in the liberty sense, but it isn't free in the money sense, since programmers have to eat just like everybody else. What free software is is a much better deal. Even if you had to pay a little bit for it, it would be a great deal. Imagine that you had to pay Linus $1 every time you got a new major revision of Linux. Linux would still be the best consumer bargain going. And, indeed, many Linux users pay $40 and more for a convenient distribution.
And that, in my opinion, is what makes Linux great. It's cheap to test drive, it is high quality, it's cheap to buy, and when something breaks you can decide how much it's worth to you to get it fixed, how fast, and you can get it fixed. What do you put in to it? A few dollars. What do you get out of it? Professional-quality software. What about support? The best.- -David email@example.com
1. Thanks for the Introduction to the GNU C Library and Programming the VT Interface columns in LJ. The notes on signal() were welcomed.
There have been a number of columns connected with the FSF+GNU. LJ should add a few notes to these columns on ways to support FSF and GNU. In your GNU C Lib article, you wrote "I do not know if [the reference manual] is being published on paper". My copy of the GNU's Bulletin is at school, but I think it is listed. In any case, I'd like to see LJ more explicitly mention support of FSF (although you did mention FSF books in the sidebar).
Just to be completely clear: I'm not suggesting that LJ "beg" for money for FSF; only that LJ help new users become familiar with the project. (My only "official" connection with FSF is in support of GNU awk. I receive no money from FSF.)
2. There is a common thread in LJ and on newsgroups about the "free-ness" of Linux (Deutsch's letter in #2, Kempen interview in #3, Welsh's columns). Users forget (or are not aware of) the importance of various projects in the success of Linux. LJ could educate users in future columns on GNU software, C-Kermit, ghostscript, etc.—Darrel firstname.lastname@example.com
LJ Responds:
1. Read What's GNU for this month. While we won't run an editorial like that every month, we definitely agree that the FSF has played a key role in the development of Linux, and is worth supporting.
2. We have published several tutorials. It is true that quite a few have not been for FSF software, but that is probably because FSF is better known than some of the smaller new utilities that people express an interest in writing tutorials for. We encourage people who are excited about some package they work with to send e-mail to email@example.com and discuss writing a tutorial for the package.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Alpha Szenszor and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have formed a joint venture for the commercialisation of advanced lung cancer diagnostics based on volatile organic compound detection from human breath. The two organisations plan to merge expertise to commercialise an economically viable, non-invasive, digital tool for the early diagnosis of lung cancer.
Alpha Szenszor is an e-nose diagnostics company based on carbon nanotube (CNT) sensor chips. The company has leveraged decades of consumer electronics integration and an extensive IP portfolio to offer direct digital detection of trace gases in low ppb concentrations using low cost, scalable, manufacturing processes. The ASI CNTnose also eliminates the need for cumbersome optical fluorescence and amplification techniques typically employed in biological testing, thus greatly reducing reagent costs and improving response time and portability.
Founded in 1912, Technion claims to be the oldest university in Israel and has an outstanding reputation in technology transfer. It has 18 academic departments and 52 research centres. Pilot laboratory and clinical studies through Technion's Laboratory for Nanomaterial-Based Devices (LNBD) have demonstrated the feasibility to diagnose and classify several diseases, including lung cancer, from exhaled breath using advanced spectrometry techniques, as well as an array of nanomaterial-based sensors, developed and patented by the same team.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more people with lung cancer die than any other type of cancer. In the US in 2009, 205,974 people were diagnosed with lung cancer. Business Monitor International's Burden of Disease Database estimates that the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost to lung cancer in the US was 1.40 million in 2012, and is expected to rise by 1.3 per cent to 1.41 million in 2020. This is a big market to enter and if the joint venturecan fully develop a point-of-care diagnostic test for the detection of lung cancer, it could prove lucrative for Alpha Szenszor.

I seem to be having a lot of trouble posting and apologise if this duplicates a previous attempt.
A few years back I used this addon but stopped because I was having problems, I would really like to start using it again and was wondering if anyone can tell me if these problems still occur or not.
The first was when I enterred a vehicle and sometimes (quite frequently) the vehicle action bar didn't appear.
The second was in many boss fights (such as Ultraxion) when the special action button didn't appear in the middle of my screen.

Amar'e Stoudemire would accept a role as the New York Knicks' sixth man if asked, two sources with knowledge of Stoudemire's thinking told ESPNNewYork.com. "All he cares about right now is helping the team and winning," said one source, who has been around Stoudemire regularly in recent weeks. "He'd be fine with coming off the bench if that's what they want."

It is no surprise that South Carolina legislators are angry about problems at the Department of Social Services. Children under its care have died or been placed in homes where there is abuse. Management has been unable or unwilling to provide basic data about staffing. And then director Lillian Koller resigned on June 2 after senators called for a vote of no confidence in her.
But the true test of their concern will come when DSS comes to them for more money. It will take an additional $10 million for DSS to staff child cases adequately. The state would have to come up with a third of the total, and the federal government would cover the rest.
Knowing that the department is short 202 social workers is staggering. But at least the Senate DSS Oversight Subcommittee is getting some answers to their questions so it will know how to proceed. Had DSS needs been more clearly articulated long ago, who knows if some tragedies might have been averted.
And at least DSS has begun to fill vacant positions. Since June 1, it has hired 59 workers, 21 of them in Charleston County.
Jessica Hanak-Coulter, DSS deputy director of human services, told the subcommittee that the average number of cases per worker should be 12 to 15. Earlier this year, Lexington County had six different workers whose case loads were 40 or more.
But Jeanne Cook, president-elect of the South Carolina chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, cautioned the subcommittee that social workers aren't all the same. There are those who have been certified by DSS and those who have graduated from accredited schools in social work but are not certified by DSS.
She also told the panel that recruiting good caseworkers is more challenging because of the "poverty wages" they receive. The starting salary ranges between $29,983 and $36,520.
DSS has not routinely been on the list of legislators' top 10 agencies. It tends to serve people who are struggling in difficult circumstances - not, necessarily, a sound voter or donor base.
And the fact is that few departments - including Corrections and Transportation - are adequately funded. South Carolina isn't flush with extra money.
But DSS is responsible for some of the state's most vulnerable children who need protection, guidance and care. Failing to provide those services adequately is unacceptable.
And in order to provide adequate service, Sen. Katrina Shealy, R-Lexington, is right. There must be enough workers.
"There are not enough caseworkers and they are inundated with work. That's when the accidents happen," she said at the subcommittee hearing.
And it's up to her and the rest of the Legislature to make it right.

Nash collected unusual, mostly natural, objects whose appearance conjured up strange associations. This collage is made from his own photographs of such 'found objects'. Both collage and found objects were often used by the Surrealists. They liked the juxtaposition of disparate elements in collage, and the element of chance inherent in 'found objects'. The Victorian seaside town of Swanage was one of Nash's favourite places. He said its combination of 'beauty, ugliness and the power to disquiet' held a 'strange fascination' that was a form of 'natural surrealism'.
