NCCW, one of the largest application service providers in the Netherlands, relies on its wide area network (WAN) to deliver hosted services to thousands of customer locations, as well as replicate data between its data center in Almere and a disaster recovery (DR) site in Haarlem using NetApp® SnapMirror® offsite replication. However, poor performance from the existing shared WAN infrastructure inhibited customers from taking full advantage of NCCW's hosted application services and had compromised recovery point objectives (RPOs).
Silver Peak Systems solved NCCW's challenges with its Virtual Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA) software, which uses real-time acceleration techniques for moving data quickly across the WAN. Silver Peak VXOA software overcomes the adverse effects of latency, congestion, and limited network capacity—all of which were significantly impairing offsite replication and application performance for NCCW.
"The Silver Peak software gives us the ability to accelerate and manage our WAN to a degree we had not experienced before," said Marcel Trams, manager of infrastructure at NCCW. "One of the best things about Silver Peak is being able to deploy it as a virtual machine or as a physical appliance. In either capacity, we can benefit from the same level of performance improvement and the added flexibility to deploy the acceleration in any type of environment."
NCCW deployed both the Silver Peak VX (virtual) and NX (physical) solutions to accelerate traffic going between their two core data centers and to customer locations across the Netherlands. The Silver Peak virtual solutions provided delivery and deployment flexibility that aligned well with existing customer networks, as well as the company's data center virtualization strategy.
With Silver Peak, NCCW has completely addressed its replication and application performance challenges. Silver Peak has helped NCCW reduce its ongoing disaster recovery costs by avoiding expensive WAN infrastructure upgrades, and is helping the company minimize risk by replicating significantly more NetApp SnapMirror data in less time.
"After deploying the Silver Peak WAN optimizers, we were able to achieve significant bandwidth improvement and increase our data throughput," added Trams. "Bandwidth consumption to our two data centers and our customer sites was reduced by more than 75%."
NCCW has also benefited from Silver Peak's data deduplication capabilities in the VXOA software. For example, HTTP traffic has been reduced by more than 80%, while ERP-based traffic has been reduced by more than 60%.
When it came to accessing hosted applications, response times improved dramatically and the applications performed as if they were on a local area network (LAN). Large data transfers that used to take minutes now took only seconds. This has ultimately translated into increased user satisfaction and business process productivity improvements.

His first taste of freedom! Adorable laboratory chimps begin 'retirement' after being rescued and taken to animal sanctuary
- Nine chimps retired from south Louisiana research centre
- More than a hundred more are expected to join them
The first laboratory chimpanzees from a south Louisiana research centre have got a taste of the great outdoors after they were 'retired' to a national sanctuary.
Nine chimps were taken from University of Louisiana at Lafayette's New Iberia Research Center and have been given a sprawling home in the 'Chimp Haven' sanctuary in Keithville.
And as these photos show, the chimps were thrilled - if a little nervous - about their new home.
Scroll down for video

VIDEO: World's only retirement home for chimps
The curious creatures munched on fruit and explored their new home, larking about in the sunshine and wandering around their wild habitat.
The research centre, which no longer has an NIH chimp research contract, is expected to deliver seven more tomorrow and a further 95 will make their way to the outdoor haven in the following months, according to Yahoo.
The huge research centre, which has
'6,000 non-human primates representing eight species' studies and tests
chimps for 'research aimed at promoting human quality of life.'

The NIH proposal calls for major cuts in grants to study chimps in laboratories
On its website it says that it 'specializes in the breeding, management, and importation of a diverse range of nonhuman primate species'.
The laboratory 'offers a broad range of diagnostic, laboratory, and human resources for the development and characterization of nonhuman primate models for applied and basic research.
A National Institutes of Health committee is recommending that all but about 50 of the agency's hundreds of research chimpanzees should be retired to the outdoor sanctuary, which was created on 200 acres of a Caddo Parish park.
The NIH proposal, which will go to the agency's director after a 60-day public consultation period, also calls for major cuts in grants to study chimps in laboratories.
It also calls for labs to maintain their policy of not breeding the great apes for research.

Nuts about nuts: As one chimp tucks in,a committee is recommending that all but about 50 of the agency's research primates should be retired to the outdoor sanctuary
Towering trees and 20-ft play structures offer climbing, swinging and resting places for the retired chimps
Kathleen Conlee, the Humane Society of the United States' vice-president for animal research issues, said the sanctuary is the most 'appropriate' place for the animals, and was disappointed that there was a recommendation to retain 50 of the creatures.
She said: 'I'm glad they made clear those animals should be kept to much higher standards than they are currently being kept in.'
A $30 million cap on total spending for construction and care of Chimp Haven's retirees has been looming, Yahoo reported.
Conlee said the Humane Society will urge Congress to move money now spent on research contracts to Chimp Haven. The sanctuary gives the animals better care for less money than the labs are paid, she said.
The Chimp Haven boasts groundcover, trees, and climbing structures provide a stimulating environment crucial for the primates' development and rehabilitation.
The chimpanzees can make sleeping nests from vegetation provided by staff or they can build nests from the trees and plants found in the wooded habitat.
Towering trees and 20ft play structures offer climbing, swinging and resting places for the chimps, who will be able to do whatever they please in their new home.

- Publisher: Encore Software, Inc.
- Release Date: Jun 8, 2004
- Also On: PlayStation 2
- Summary: Players assume the role of Torque, a man convicted of a horrible crime that he may or may not have committed. He's sentenced to life in Abbott State Penitentiary, a haunted place that hides a terrible secret, one that threatens both the prison guards and the hardened criminals that call this isolated hell home. Torque's tale unfolds in nine terrifying levels, where grisly mutated creatures, sadistic prisoners and guards lurk around every corner. A variety of deadly weapons are at his disposal to help him survive and escape from prison. In addition, Torque has a "rage meter" that, when filled, transforms him into a hideous and bloodthirsty creature that looks and feels right at home with the other dozen monstrosities stalking his every move. Torque will be able to interact with other inmate NPC's and enlist their help in escaping, or take them out if they get in his way. The Suffering also features three distinct endings based on how the game is played. In revealing Torque's story, he could be a cold-blooded killer, a man wrongfully accused, or something far, far worse. [Encore Software]… Expand

With satisfactory graphics, outstanding audio and acting, involving mystery-like story, smooth gameplay mechanics, The Suffering moves to the top ranks, joining such titles as "Clive Barker's Undying" and "Eternal Darkness."
One of the best survival/horror, emphasis on the "horror", in recent memory. Trust me, you'll be begging for Mommy halfway through the game.
With brilliantly conceived creatures executing every last living thing on Carnate, interrupted only by brief spells of suspenseful silence and a smattering of hallucinations, The Suffering is an exercise in terror, meant to be played with quality surround sound, late at night, with the lights turned off.
If you're looking for a horror survival game that can fill the gap left by the Silent Hill and Fatal Frame series, look no further.
Though The Suffering tends to rely more on startling you with visual effects and sudden attacks than on actually trying to scare you, it's still a pretty refreshing take on horror-themed games.
A fairly standard action game redeemed by some true suspense and fear. [Oct 2004, p.79]

ChrisS.Aug 4, 2004Graphically its not bad, not great, but not bad. Character animation is good and the monsters are original and scary. Voice acting is far better than I was expecting. Atmosphere is creepy, lighting is spooky and sound effects are excellent. A job well done as far as ambience and mood. However, there are bugs or perhaps they are programing decisions that I found frustrating at times. At one point a guard who was gunning for me refused to die no matter how many slugs I pumped into him. The only way to deal with this situation was to run and hope I reached the next level before he methodically gunned me down. Later, an npc with whom I team up does not die despite being set upon by a hoard of blade wielding creatures. Overall, a hard edged, scary and fun game.… Expand
GabrielK.Jul 11, 2008The game is very repetitive and boring after a few levels. The lights are so bad that is really frustrating to see something in the dark even with the flashlight.

Definitely is a game to play some hours and thats all, probably you will not want to finish at all at the middle of the game.… Expand

Do You Find Reviews on Travel Sites Helpful?
by Emily Co 5 Reactions 2 Shares Print
I generally have a lot of faith in travel reviews on sites like TripAdvisor.com, because I tend to trust what the consumers say versus the hotels. I just saw this amazing slideshow by Business Insider that compares the pictures that the hotels use for marketing to photos of what the actual hotel really looks like. The stark difference is the reason why I tend to gravitate towards the opinions of reviewers rather than the hotel's website. What about you — do you find the reviews helpful or they just a small perk?

Yes I do. But I also really look at the content of the posts, some people are overly excited or overly critical.

I also read where they are from and what their age is. Someone from the UK has different expectations than someone from Canada. And a 55 year old has different standards then a 23 year old :)

I find them helpful, but I always make sure to read some statements, rather than just looking at the stars. Because sometimes there'll be some cranky person giving them one star just because the receptionist was on the phone for too long or things like that.

I LOVE trip advisor. I pay more attention to ratings between two and four than I do to the one and five star ratings though. (Unless there are a ton of one star ratings!)

I've had a pretty stressful few weeks. I can't pinpoint what's been stressing me out, but a cloud of uneasiness has been raining on my parade for a while now. Today, however, something changed. I felt great. After weeks of throwing myself pity parties and sulking in my restlessness, I decided to face this anxiety head-on. I didn't beat these issues – I acknowledged them and am trying my best to work with and conquer them. It will be a process, but today was a step in the right direction. This is the playlist that broke my stress; I call her, "Stress Buster."
I'm not a big hip-hop fan but I absolutely love this video. Just really entertaining from start to finish. You think he's going to stop and he just keeps on going. Is part of this pre-written? Probably. But Sway throws out random phrases that he throws into his freestyle with ease.
There's also something about the 5:30 mark that is laugh out loud funny.
The artist's name is Mistah Fab from Oakland, California. His name comes from the acronym "Money Is Something to Always Have — FaEva Afta Bread"- an acronym that is so absurd you almost have to respect it. Definitely the best freestyle I've seen to date.
Want some overpriced headphones? Me neither, but I'll take some Hozier every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
1. the tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy.
The right combination of tracks can conjure up a feeling within me that is almost indescribable. It is a stopwatch on my life – it freezes time and allows me to take a step back from my reality in order to develop a new, holistic perspective. The ability to isolate emotions is elusive, yet magically powerful. Throughout life, our expectations can become mangled images of what they once were, leaving us paralyzed and unable to enjoy the many pleasures right before our eyes. If we don't adapt and constantly redefine our expectations, we will surely live lives full of what-ifs and what-could-have-have-beens. Train yourself to be a world-class escape artist, learn how to ignore the unpleasant realities around us, and focus on the beautiful world we live in.
This week, this playlist was my vehicle to escapism — enjoy the ride.

Skype Video Calling: An Invention … Like The Wheel..

Health Beat: Blending the senses: Medical intuitive sees disease?
Updated On: Sep 20 2013 05:09:07 PM CDT
Preventative medicine is your best strategy for long term health. Regular screenings, however, can catch only so much, unless perhaps your doctor is a "medical intuitive."
One man has received some national attention for his claims that he can diagnose your health problems by simply looking at you.
Gabby Rodriguez didn't know what to expect when she called medical intuitive John Kortum.
"I saw him on Dr. Oz," Rodriguez said.
Kortum told her something was going on with her blood.
"I was able to take that and go back to my doctor and ask for some further testing," Rodriguez said.
Testing by her doctor revealed an autoimmune disease.
Kortum said much like how we know boiling water is hot without having to touch it, he perceives textured properties on the face. Each is linked to an organ system.
"This biological language lives within you, and it's your body's way of expressing imbalances," said Kortum, medical intuitive and developer of the Kortum Health Assessment Technique.
Take a thyroid problem. Kortum perceives a sponge-like texture on the cheeks.
For issues with the breasts, "I perceive a vertical texture," Kortum explained.
After taking his course, Pamela Feikbeiner realized she had a left breast indicator. A biopsy by her doctor revealed, "the cancer that's in the milk ducts itself," Feikbeiner said.
We put Kortum's technique to the test. Neysa Ricciardi has never met him.
"I am fascinated to see what he can come up with," Ricciardi said.
"There's a little bit of a hearing indication. It's not bad," Kortum explained after looking at Ricciardi, who said her ears have been ringing.
"You've got a mild liver indication," continued Kortum, who also picked up on a digestion problem.
"I have had severe reflux in the past," Ricciardi admitted.
"I perceive a thyroid indication," Kortum said.
Yes, Ricciardi does have hypothyroidism. The only thing he missed?
"He didn't pick up on adrenal, and I've also been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue," Ricciardi explained.
So, is he a medical prophet or just out for a profit?
If you're interested in getting a consult with Kortum, it will cost you $495. That's not covered by health insurance.
There are many doctors who aren't supporters of medical intuitivism, however, researchers put the Kortum technique to the test in a study in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. The 16 month study took patients with documented diseases and had Kortum assess them. He was found to have a 93 percent accuracy rate.

Don't Get Taken Advantage Of By Phony Roofers
People who have been affected by the tornadoes are in a vulnerable position. As they begin the process of cleaning up and rebuilding, there are those who would seek to take advantage of the situation. Bogus contractors and roofers crawl out of the woodwork to make big bucks after disasters. Find out how you can protect yourself.
Many contractors and roofers will be fanning out across the affected areas to drum up business in repairing homes. Before selecting a contractor, there are some important questions you need to ask.
First of all, you want to make sure that the contractor didn't just blow in the storms. Do a web search for an address and drive by their place of business. You won't want to select a contractor working out of the back of his truck or a temporary PO Box.
Are they a member of a roofing contractors association? Associations have strict requirements to make sure contractors are legit and in good standing.
The North Texas Roofing Contractors Association has great resources to make sure you hire a good contractor. Visit their website at ntrca.com.

Tim Tebow. Bigger than Peyton? Jordan?
[picappgallerysingle id="9537224"]
The NFL has been rocked this offseason with the Denver Broncos selection of QB Tim Tebow. It really wouldn't matter where exactly Tebow went in the draft, he would have created controversy with any team. However, Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels staked his future on Tim Tebow and aggressively moved back into the first round of this springs NFL draft and took the controversial quarterback. Yes, Tebow was a great college quarterback, yes he won a Heisman Trophy, and yes, I think he can be a very successful NFL quarterback regardless of his delivery.
Doug Flutie was to small, Drew Brees was too small (he has a little extra hardware heading into 2010) San Diego Chargers QB, Philip Rivers has an unconventional delivery and he's the best quarterback in the league no one knows about. So is Tebow now becoming the biggest marketing tool in sports without ever taking a snap?
It is looking that way. According to Michael Kruse of the St. Petersburg Times, he seems perplexed that Tim Tebow is raking in the endorsement deals.
Kruse starts his column out and within the first four words describes Tebow as the "virgin preacher quarterback". Really? Is that necessary? Before we go any further, in the terms of full disclosure, I will state straight up, I am a Florida State Seminole fan. For those of you outside of the State of Florida, it's a big deal.
The Times reporter writes that Tebow has become the third most influential sports figure in America, and that seems to bother the reporter as he makes several references to his faith and his actions off the field. At what point is there a line drawn? Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick, who went to prison for dog fighting, recently held a birthday party where his co-conspirator was shot, and everything is okay. Vick is given a pass but yet at every turn Tebow is chastised because he wants to speak about his faith?
Kruse tries to overturn every rock to get at Tebow. He evens quotes individuals in the sports business as saying Tebow equates to words like, Authentic. Sincere. Moral. Humility. Wow. And why would the American public embrace something like that, right now? Perhaps they are looking for a sports figure that they can embrace as the Nation is in a meltdown.
Kruse continues in his article to rail on Tebow's well documented family history and was shocked that his faith based beliefs didn't scare away Nike, Jockey or EA Sports. The author continued to reference Christian based sites to garner a quote.
What exactly is so scary to the media about a football player who is unafraid to state what he believes? The same media which shuffles allegations of rape, DUI, and drug abuse seemingly under the table. There has been less written about Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth's personal beliefs than Tim Tebow in the past few months. Haynesworth has screwed the Redskins out of millions of dollars and is getting sued by several people, including a stripper for 100 million dollars, claiming she is pregnant with his child.
Tebow is introduced as the "virgin preacher quarterback" and Haynesworth is never questioned with the same veracity. There is something really wrong here.

Solar storms and pineal gland riding the power wave
2012 07 18
BY Adonai |
The Watchers
According to study published in the New Scientist back in 1998, there is a direct connection between the Suns solar storms and human biological effects.
The conduit which facilitates the charged particles from the Sun to human disturbance is the very same conduit which steers Earths weather the magnetic field. Animals and humans have a magnetic field which surrounds them in the very same way the magnetic field surrounds the Earth as a protector.
From 1948 to 1997, the Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems in Russia found that geomagnetic activity showed three seasonal peaks each of those years (March to May, in July, and in October). Every peak matched an increased incidence of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide in the city Kirovsk.
Electromagnetic activity from the sun affects our electronic devices and human electromagnetic field. We are physically, mentally, and emotionally altered by electromagnetic charges from the sun, our body can feel sleepy but also become highly energized.
Psychological effects of CMEs (coronal mass ejections) are typically short lived and include headache, palpitations, mood swings, and feeling generally unwell. Chaotic or confused thinking, and erratic behaviors also increase. Solar storms can drive our emotions and maximize it to both good and bad side the point here is to be aware of it.
Pineal gland in our brain is also affected by the electromagnetic activity which causes the gland to produce excess melatonin, a hormone which can cause sleepiness but its also known that some people have opposite side effects, usually those that are aware of the effects.
Riding the power wave pineal gland stimulation
Our pineal glands have excess melatonin production during solar storms electromagnetic activity. Many biological effects of melatonin are produced through activation of melatonin receptors, while others are due to its role as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant, with a particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.
Pineal gland is also referred as the third eye, and the third eye is also known as the inner eye. The third eye is a mystical and esoteric concept referring in part to the ajna (brow) chakra in certain dharmic spiritual traditions, in particular Hinduism. This concept was later adopted by Christian mystics and spiritualists as well as people from other religious faiths. It is also spoken of as the gate that leads within to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. Among Christian mystics, the term is used in a broad sense to indicate a non-dualistic perspective. In New Age spirituality, the third eye may symbolize a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with visions, clairvoyance (which includes the ability to observe chakras and auras), precognition, and out-of-body experiences. People who have allegedly developed the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers.
For the reasons most of you know humans tend to have their pineal glands heavily calcified sleeping.
Fluoride (found in tap water, toothpaste, processed foods ) is just one of the things that causes calcification of pineal gland. Fluoride is magnetically attracted to the pineal gland where it forms calcium phosphate crystals more than anywhere else in the body. How to decalcify pineal gland? One excellent link is
Third eye should be active, vibrant and strong the process of decalcification sometimes includes headaches and sleepiness the same as they say for solar storms like the one in effect now.
enjoy the weekend.

FedUp? FedEx workers look to unionize
Send this to a friend
- Stephen Roth
- Staff Writer
At least every other day for two weeks, Bob Kutchko marched with United Parcel Service workers on the picket line outside the UPS terminal in Lenexa, waving to motorists and brandishing a sign supporting the Teamsters strike.
Kutchko doesn't work for UPS and he doesn't pay Teamster dues. In fact, he's a part-time courier for parcel carrier rival Federal Express, a company with no union ties among its ground-based work force.
But Kutchko, 42, is part of a group of FedEx workers in Kansas City and throughout the nation that wants to start a Teamsters-affiliated union at the profitable Memphis, Tenn.-based company. For almost two years the workers, who operate under the banner of "FedUp," have handed out literature and organized picnics in an attempt to generate support among colleagues for a union.
The process has been slow-going at times, but Kutchko thinks the UPS strike might wake FedEx's 80,000 workers up to similar issues at their own company. Naturally, he was ecstatic to learn his friends in brown had won a favorable settlement with UPS on Aug. 19.
"It's really going to help our organizing drive at FedEx," Kutchko said.
Labor experts agreed that FedEx might be the next target for what has become a unified and aggressive Teamsters movement under union president Ron Carey. Despite recent wage increases, FedEx couriers and sorters make less than their UPS counterparts; full-timers at UPS average about $20 an hour. Like UPS, FedEx also has a large cadre of part-time workers, some of whom complain of difficulties attaining full-time status.
"FedEx might be a ripe target for organizing efforts," said Douglas McCabe, a professor of labor and industrial relations at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

MINSK (Reuters) - Belarus will host talks between Ukraine, Russia and the OSCE security and rights organisation on the crisis in eastern Ukraine, President Alexander Lukashenko's office said on Wednesday.
It did not say when the talks would take place but Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko asked Lukashenko to host them on Thursday and to focus on securing access to the site where a Malaysian airliner was brought down in east Ukraine.
There was no indication pro-Russian separatists fighting Ukraine's army would attend the talks, although Lukashenko's office said "all interested sides" were invited.
The talks are expected to involve Russia's ambassador to Kiev, Mikhail Zurabov, and former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, who have met several times since the crisis in Ukraine began but have failed to secure a breakthrough.
The fighting in eastern Ukraine prevented representatives of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe reaching the crash site on Tuesday for the third successive day.
"Decisions are being made on a political level on ensuring safety on the site," Michael Bociurkiw, a spokesman for the OSCE in Ukraine said on Wednesday. "Today, as far as we know, we won't be going there."
An OSCE convoy had earlier on Wednesday been stopped by rebels about 10 km (six miles) outside the city of Donetsk because of fighting further along the route, but OSCE officials later denied it had been trying to reach the crash site.
Poroshenko wants the talks in Minsk to also discuss the release of hostages Kiev says are being held by the rebels in east Ukraine, the Ukrainian presidency said in a statement on Facebook.
He appears to have turned to Belarus for help because the former Soviet republic is a Moscow ally but also has a solid relationship with Ukraine.
The regional authorities in Donetsk, one of the regions worst hit by the fighting in east Ukraine, said on Wednesday morning that 19 people had been killed in the past 24 hours.
Kiev's military offensive has forced the rebels out of some areas they held except their strongholds in and around the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, and fighting has intensified since the deaths of 298 people when the airliner was brought down on July 17.
The West says the rebels probably shot the plane down by mistake and accuses Russia of arming them. Moscow denies this.
