Gemma Atkinson

In early 2006, Gemma Louise Atkinson underwent breast enlargement surgery, which took her bra size to a 34E. She said in an interview that she lost weight due to a fitness regime and her bust size declined. The surgery then gave them the original shape they once were.

Since launching her parallel career as a glamour model, Atkinson has appeared in provocative photoshoots in lingerie and swimwear, including non-nude topless shots, for men's magazines such as Arena, FHM, Loaded, Maxim, Zoo Weekly and Nuts.



Since 2006, she has appeared in FHM's 100 Sexiest List, debuting at number 32 in 2006; following her appearance on the cover of FHM, she moved up to 23 in 2007; and in 2008, she rose again to number 18.

Hamilton and Rosberg penalized for pit-lane collision

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Williams’ Nico Rosberg will drop 10 places on the grid at the next round of the championship in France as penalty for their pit-lane incident in Canada.

Hamilton ran into the back of Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari, which was stopped at a red light at the pit exit. The resulting damage put both men out the race, with Hamilton admitting he had not seen the light in time. Rosberg then ran into the rear of Hamilton’s stricken McLaren, but was able to rejoin the race, despite damage to the front of his Williams.

Commenting on the incident, Hamilton said: "As I exited the box, I saw two cars jostling for position ahead of me in the pit lane. Obviously, I didn't want to get involved in their tussle, and was trying not to do so, and then all of a sudden they stopped. And by the time they'd come to a halt, it was too late for me to avoid them. It's just unfortunate when stuff like this happens, but I have no argument with the stewards.”

"There's not much I can say," was Raikkonen's reaction. "My race was ruined by Hamilton's mistake. Obviously, anyone can make mistakes, as I did two weeks ago in Monaco, but it's one thing to make a mistake at two hundred (miles) per hour but another to hit a car stopped at a red light. I am not angry because that doesn't achieve anything and does not change my result! I am unhappy, because I had a great chance of winning."

Lewis, don't jump red light, asshole!

Stupid Lewis Hamilton has ruined the great chance of winning for Kimi Raikkonen in Montreal, Canada, with his stupid mistake. This asshole ran into the back of Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari, which was stopped at a red light at the pit exit, resulting damage to the car and put him out of the race.

If you are eager to win the race, do it right! Don't be a bastard to bang your close competitor. You can bang Force India if you want, asshole! Go back to driving school and learn the basic!

Government stating that it can no longer continue to subsidise fuel

Pak Lah, it's time for you to f*ck off!
Don't simply raise the price like raise your bloody dick!

What do you know, asshole? Sleeping?

Watch this, starting from 1:15... especially 1:45... legend!

RAIN architecture scales storage

Most corporations use relatively isolated and expensive disk subsystems for primary storage, and they protect this data with tape back-up systems that are stored offsite for disaster-recovery purposes.

A new storage system architecture called Redundant Array of Inexpensive Nodes (RAIN) surpasses this traditional storage architecture by offering data-storage and protection systems that are more distributed, shareable and scalable. RAIN systems also are less expensive than traditional systems.

RAIN is an open architecture approach that combines standard, off-the-shelf computing and networking hardware with highly intelligent management software. This combination lets a host of storage and data-protection applications be cost-effectively deployed across a grid of devices that are highly available and self-healing.

RAIN-based storage and protection systems consist of:

• RAIN nodes: These hardware components are 1U servers that provide about 1 terabyte of serial ATA (SATA) disk storage capacity, standard Ethernet networking and CPU processing power to run RAIN and data management software. Data is stored and protected reliably among multiple RAIN nodes instead of within a single storage subsystem with its own redundant power, cooling and hot-swap disk-drive hardware.


• IP-based internetworking: RAIN nodes are physically interconnected using standard IP-based LANs, metropolitan-area networks (MAN) and/or WANs. This lets administrators create an integrated storage and protection grid of RAIN nodes across multiple data centers. With MAN and WAN connectivity, RAIN nodes can protect local data while offering off-site protection for data created at other data centers.


• RAIN management software: This software lets RAIN nodes continuously communicate their assets, capacity, performance and health among themselves. RAIN management software automatically can detect the presence of new RAIN nodes on a new network, and these nodes are self-configuring.
  
  The management software creates virtual pools of storage and protection capacity without administrative intervention. It also manages all recovery operations related to one or more RAIN nodes becoming unavailable because of RAIN node or network failures. RAIN nodes do not require immediate replacement upon component failure because lost data is automatically replicated among the surviving RAIN nodes in the grid.



• Information life-cycle management software: This software replaces traditional snapshot, back-up and mirroring data-management tools with innovative virtualization, compression, versioning, encryption, self-healing integrity checking and correcting, retention and replication algorithms. Information life-cycle management software increases the overall reliability of lower-cost SATA disk drives by replicating data among multiple RAIN nodes.
  
  A grid of RAIN nodes also can adapt to changing application workloads by load-balancing data across nodes based on utilization or storage capacity.
  
  In a RAIN-based storage system, each RAIN node regularly checks all its own files. The combination of hundreds of RAIN nodes forms a powerful parallel data-management grid - one that is much more powerful than today's independent protection architectures. When file corruption is detected, the associated RAIN node initiates a replication request to all other RAIN nodes, which verify their own replicas and work collectively to replace the defective file.
  
  Grids of RAIN nodes will replace existing isolated data-storage systems. Low-cost, high-performance disk drives, CPUs and IP networking make this evolution possible. In addition, businesses are demanding simplified, lower-cost, site disaster-recovery systems and faster and more reliable back-up and restore processes.
  
  By executing information life-cycle management applications across hundreds of powerful, internetworked storage and compute RAIN nodes, RAIN systems will deliver unprecedented long-term data availability, cost-effective and rapid site disaster recovery, and automated onsite and offsite data back-up protection.
