The 14 Most Unintentionally Terrifying Statues in the World
Write a book or paint a painting, and who knows whether it'll still be around a few years later. But build a goddamned 100-ton bronze statue, and people will still be staring at that shit centuries from now. Which makes it all the more awesome when a sculptor creates a horrifying monument to his own insanity and gets it erected in city park or town square. Like ...
#14. Frogner Park Babyfighter (?) -- Oslo, Norway
Via ellenmac11
Frogner Park in Oslo is a beautiful place. It is filled with a great number of statues that capture the beauty and grace of human anatomy in a way that has to be seen to be believed. Also, this statue of a naked man kicking the shit out of several babies.
Via Toni Kaarttinen
What exactly is going on here? Is it ... symbolic of something? Or, even better, is it memorializing an actual person? Did this used to be an Olympic event, and did this guy win the gold for Norway? Did they knock off points for having his dick out?
This baffling statue actually depicts four child-shaped "genii" spirits attacking a man. Or maybe only three of them are spirits, and he just happened to be doing his daily nude baby punt when they descended on him. Really, feel free to just write your own backstory here.
#13. The Child-Eater Fountain -- Bern, Switzerland
Via Curious Expeditions
It wasn't as though he was aiming for any kind of subtlety here.
Damn, we should have done a whole article just about baby-murder statues. The Kindlifresserbrunnen, or Child-Eater, fountain of Bern was built way back in the 16th century. And really, it looks like pretty standard fountainry when you're walking by it:
Via Jaume Meneses
Hell, from here you can barely tell that the top depicts a man snacking on a bag of babies. Probably why the artist named it "Child Eater," just to make sure you got his point.
And we say "probably" because nobody seems to know the exact story -- whatever grand point the statue was supposed to be making has been lost to time. But the artist went all-out, from the horrified, desperate expressions of the remaining uneaten babies to the legion of armed bears that stand guard around the fountain's base ...
... to the fact that at least one of them is sporting a clearly visible erection.
#12. The, Uh, Turd Monument -- Ponta Grossa, Brazil
Via tudolink.com
If you're thinking this looks like a shit statue, a lot of people agree with you. But you'd be wrong. It's also a shit fountain.
That mind-boggling, giant turd-on-a-stick is called Cocozao. It's located in the unfortunate town of Ponta Grossa, and Google Translate tells us it's actually supposed to represent a local tree called the Araucaria pine. For reference, here's an Araucaria pine:
Yeah, Brazil. That's totally what it is.
For the surprisingly large portion of our readers who are already packing for a pilgrimage to pay respects to the Ultimate Poop Joke, we regret to inform you that the people of Ponta Grossa finally came to their senses in 2009 and demolished the statue. As a small consolation, however, they opted to do it like this:
Via adlertech.blogspot.com
"Damn kids." - God, after falling for the oldest trick in the book and stomping the fire out.
#11. The Kafka Museum Entrance -- Prague
Via vagabondvince310
Prague clearly wanted the museum for its greatest author, Franz Kafka, to be something special. Which is why we have the above sculpture in the courtyard. If you think it looks like they're pissing a pool in the shape of the Czech Republic, a simple look closer ...
Via ilovebutter
... says that's exactly what you're looking at.
This is the work of David Cerny, an artist hailed by half his peers as a controversial genius and scorned by the other half as an utter dickhole. This won't be his only stop on this list.
The statues' dongs are robotic, so they actually move. They piss shapes in the water, and you can also make them piss a phrase of your own by sending an SMS to a pay number. And Cerny got someone to agree to that. And by the way, this was not even his most ridiculous penis-related project. He was once very, very close to being able to make the Czech National Theatre look like this:
Via davidcerny.cz
That piece was going to be called "Nation to Itself Forever," a 30-foot golden man ejaculating steam at random intervals. It unfortunately got canceled just prior to installation, which we assume means Cerny was forced to pay up on a bet he made to another artist years ago about just how much shit he could get away with before someone stopped writing him checks.
Fortunately, this is not Prague's only artistic tribute to Kafka. There's also this ...
#10. Man and Skull -- Prague
Via sfoshee
Yes, for some reason or another, they figured that the best way to honor Kafka was by erecting a statue featuring a giant skull getting intimate with a subservient male figure at a major tourist attraction (Prague Castle's Daliborka Tower). They say this is based on a character in Kafka's books, and although we can't call ourselves experts on Kafka, we have a hard time believing any of his major characters were ever prison-raped by Skeletor's disembodied head.
Via tiny_tear
Hey, let's check it out from the back:
Via archangeldeb
Seriously, there are some sights that are not meant to be seen when casually tourist-hiking, and one of them is definitely a bronze scrotum. Which, by the way, appears to have been crushed flat with a mallet.
#9. The Faceless Crawling Horror Babies -- Prague
Via Radim Beznoska / Isifa / Getty
If you go to the park in Prague, you'll occasionally see these big, bronze babies crawling around. OK, that's ... weird, we think, but definitely not all that insane. Oh, wait, here's more of them covering the local TV tower like ants:
In case you've never suffered the symptoms of heroin withdrawal and still don't see the problem, let's try taking the camera up front, and get a view of their adorable little faces ...
Via Brad_King
Those crawling nightmares are also the work of David Cerny, by the way. But he can't be blamed for ...
#8. Fountain of Virtues -- Nuremberg
Via edwhitaker
If there's just one place in the world where you could safely take your pious old grandmother, it would no doubt be Nuremberg, the German town where some of the earliest bound Bibles were made and some really evil people were finally brought to justice. And what would be a better sight than the famous Nuremberg Fountain of Virtues, made all the way back in 1589, when an iron caster decided to make a fountain that represented the three theological and three cardinal virtues as women ...
Via edwhitaker
Yes, who would have thought that the ultimate virtue in the 16th century was considered to be high-pressure lactation? Not you and your no-longer-in-Grandma's-will ass, that's for sure. And in case you think this was one random bad statue idea, head over to Bologna, Italy, and take a gander at the deceptively named Neptune fountain:
Via Bouncey2k
She looks quite calm for someone with perforated breasts.
All right, Renaissance-period sculptor guy, that's even less biologically believable than the last one. What's wrong with your women, Europe? How the hell did any of your children make it through the breast-feeding phase?

5 Horribly Misguided Attempts at Teaching Lessons Creatively
#2. A Middle School Stages a Brutal Murder in Front of Its Students
We'll let you decide if the following is grossly irresponsible or impossibly awesome: To help kids develop critical-thinking skills, the faculty at the U.K.'s Blackminister School decided to surprise them by staging the murder of a teacher in front of the entire student body so that they could apply what they'd learned to gather evidence and solve the mystery. We don't mean they did it like a fun "Let's solve a mystery like on TV!" exercise -- we mean the unsuspecting children were brought out to the playground under the pretense that they would be taking part in a science lesson, and while waiting for the lesson to begin, an armed maniac came tumbling out of the woods like a meth-addled Sugar Bear and cut their teacher down with pistol fire.
Several other teachers ran to the downed man's aid and tried unsuccessfully to revive him while the horror-stricken children looked on. The assailant then ran into the school and proceeded to destroy the chemistry lab, because if there is one thing psychotic gunmen hate, it's science.
"I'm gonna rape the microscopes next."
After almost ten full minutes of hysterically weeping children, everyone was finally led into the school gym and told that "the shooting" was actually a scripted mystery that was now in their hands to solve, sort of like those old "Who Stole Bart's Butterfinger?" ads, only with more gunshot blasts and less candy. The supposedly murdered teacher was fine, and the science lab was still intact. The only things that had actually been harmed were the hundreds of schoolchildren. Some were having vomiting panic attacks, others were acting as impromptu grief counselors for their classmates, and several took to the school's Facebook page (because a Facebook page is totally something that a grade school needs to have) to vent their feelings over the day's events, although judging by the following posted comment, parading a fake murder in front of 11- and 12-year-olds is perhaps not the biggest flaw in Blackminister's curriculum:
"Most of us were soo scared we was cryin!! it was horrible but its gd tht they sed sorry."
The principal responded with the most half-assed apology in the history of the universe, claiming that the students had simply overreacted to watching a man be suddenly shot to death. He pointed out that the only reason for all the fuss was that the "victim" was one of the most well-liked teachers in the school. He then uttered this showstopper verbatim:
"I don't think there would have been as much concern if it was one or two of the others."
That's right -- this man literally said that one or two other teachers could have been murdered in front of the students he is responsible for, and the kids probably wouldn't have given a shit. Because those teachers suck.
CATERS via The Telegraph
The sheer quantity of irony in this picture influences the tides.
#1. A Cop Tasers a 10-Year-Old Boy on Career Day
When Christopher Webb of the Albuquerque Police Department came to talk to the children of a local elementary school on Career Day about his awesome job as an ass-kicking traffic cop, his well of material about expired tags and mountains of paperwork quickly ran dry. So he asked the kids if they'd like to wash his cruiser instead.
"And after that, you get to dig me a septic tank to ... build character ... or something."
While several boys agreed, probably lured by the possibility of finding a bloodstain or a condom full of drugs somewhere in the backseat, one emphatically declined Webb's generous offer. So Webb, demonstrating the wisdom and restraint of both a duly appointed peace officer and a rational adult, drew his Taser and said, "Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police." He then shot the 10-year-old in the chest, leaving the barbs in for the full five-second shock of the expended cartridge.
The boy collapsed and lost consciousness, possibly due to the 50,000 volts of electricity pulsing through his still-too-small-for-most-roller-coasters frame. Realizing that Career Day had just taken a turn for the worse (and that he must have broken a law of some kind), Officer Webb heroically applied precisely none of his emergency responder training and instead carried the boy to the principal's office and left, presumably wearing a fake mustache and sunglasses for the rest of the day to avoid both detection and getting yelled at.
But not before covering his bases.
The officer got a whopping three-day suspension for the incident (he insists that the Taser went off by accident), and as you can imagine, the family has filed a lawsuit.

Easy Front Porch Update
The chevron shutters (which are still not 100% finished but can be seen here) motivated me to take our boring entryway and make it something a little more…Mandilicous?
I picked up the rug at Homegoods for $19.99. The colors are so fun and summery and because its flat woven (as opposed to having some sort of pile) it is really durable. I am interested to see how it washes over time, if the colors fade in a good way or in a not good way. I know that bunches of you bought these type of rugs so I am interested to know what your experience is!
The large white pot and yellow garden stool are also from Homegoods (around $50 each) I love the punchy-ness of the yellow, it makes me smile!!
The flower is called Blue Nile and I got it from Lowes ($15.00). The best part? It has a one year warranty, so the fact that it was looking a little droopy when I got back from being out of town for 2 weeks gives me a little piece of mind if she doesn't perk up.
I still need something awesome for the door, but I am coming up a little blank, any suggestions?
Love Your Guts, Mandi

And also the possibility of learn from them.
Flexible Schedule
Good PTO Program
Fun & Exciting Technology/Toys
Relaxed Work Atmosphere
A great idea would be to let all your devs design their own workspaces. Different people need different environments to be productive.
Give them the choice of tools as far as possible. I know it's not always possible, but I guess there is nothing more demotivating than forcing a Linux guy to use Windows, a MAC Guy to use Windows, or a Windows Guy to use Linux.
Of course that's not always possible, but also what about favourite email clients? Some love thunderbird, others outlook and others mutt.
In my opinion this will be great perks for new programmers. Though it would also be awesome things to have for any programmer. :)
On top of that there is an extra big plus for passing the Joel Test.
I am not too keen myself to give/have an own office. Mostly because lots of programmers are very sociable people, and it would be good to have some interaction during the day. However, that might just be a personal choice.
Apart from the hard stuff like offices, tools, gear, food and snack I'd like to add something that makes me feel special:
Let your developers in on decisions!
One way to do this is to conduct meetings in a round table fashion where you specifically ask every attending person for their opinion, not just let them speak up if they wish.
I can't get past the fact that new programmers should be paying us until they've learned enough to make themselves useful.
In medieval times, you had to beg and bribe your way into an apprenticeship at a guild, and then you had to haul firewood on your back for 30 years before the Master would even let you look at an anvil.
Overpaying junior programmers makes as much sense as small-market NBA teams drafting high school players. The money gives them an ego which blinds them to their lack of knowledge, and by the time they figure out how to be useful, they declare free agency and they're gone.
There are a number of things that come to mind, and not even for junior people.
I think the biggest perk for a new programmer is when they first join the company they have a plan and know exactly what there career "road map" is.
When I first started my current job I was given some interesting work right from the start and I knew exactly what was expected of me. Other fresh graduates were left to school themselves up which ultimately helped them to loose interest in the work completely.
Other gimmicks like a big screen etc are great but they don't make a boring job any better!
Good hardware (for voting)
These are all personal :-).
I don't care about:
One of these would get me interested:
The chance to devote time to learning. Give them the chance to spend longer than expected for a task so that they can pore through books and search across the net to learn the best way to do things. Give them O'Reilly books. Encourage them to spend time reading them. Encourage them to make connections online and become familiar with sites such as this one where they can learn the habit of trying to program well instead of trying to program just to get done.
Yes, that's a perk. For them as well as for you. :)
Good project management - with minimal BS and meetings under control
Good technical mentoring
Book reimbursement, resources, tools
And I take issue with the "aside from cash"
I think cash isn't really ranked up that high unless the environment is so poor - that's why they call it compensation.
There were lots of good suggestions already. I did a quick search on the all the response I can't find these so I'm including these 1. Good health insurance coverage from the employer. 2. Paid time off. it really helps to re-boost employees.
Working with people who can explain why they do things the way they do.
Be flexible with office hours. If a programmer gets his best work done between 1:00pm and 10:00pm, or he has other classes or some other reason to need flexible hours, why force him to work 9:00-5:00? Naturally you may need programmers in the office at certain times for mentoring/training/code review/important meetings, etc. But most programmers appreciate flexibility where it can be found.
In my opinion, the best perk a new programmer can have is a good mentor who is extremely knowledgeable and understanding.
Being a college student who would go for job in a few short years, I'd say it's definitely
I think having good challenges and learning opportunities is critical. That's true when you're above the junior level too.
I personally like the office my company gave me.
Speaking as an actual college student (senior), here's some things I'd like:
A degree of direction (tell me what you need done)
A degree of autonomy (trust me to get it done)
I'm probably unusual among my peers in that I prefer professionalism. As a general rule of thumb, I think casual dress would be very helpful, though it wouldn't be a huge issue for me personally.
But really, the big thing is trust, and letting me do what you're paying me to do. If I think I'm going to be stuck attending constant meetings and always worrying about office politics, that's a big strike against you. Competence is also very important... I don't know if I could work for a manager who knew nothing about programming. I understand that it's entirely likely a great manager might not even be as good a programmer as I am, but they should at least know enough to know what's feasible and what's not.
Oh, and probably the biggest thing for me: Long term prospects. I hate job hunting, and I'd tolerate an otherwise-mildly intolerable job if I knew that I wasn't likely to be laid off, out-sourced, etc.
Training is by far the #1 thing. It was when I was starting out.
I think private offices are overated, especially for junior developers. OTH managers must understand that every time a developer is distracted by noise, people walking around them, or being in a huge bullpen or a sea of cheap cubes that it costs the firm money in the near term.
Good work areas, especially good chairs and monitors, make a huge difference.
Any kind of dress code beyond 'naughty bits must be covered' is insane when applied to developers. Having non-flexible work hours is insane when applied to developers. In general what is known in management theory as 'Taylorism' is a good way to drive away the best developers.
All developers, especially junior developers, appreciate formal training opportunities.
And MOST importantly other people their age to work with.
When you are 22-23 years old it is really hard to relate to your coworkers when they are all talking about their kids/families.
When I was just starting out, I benefited greatly from the mentoring of others in the office. It helped a lot, and I viewed it as a serious perk -- I was often quoted as, "I'm getting paid to learn!"
There are all the trivialities (games in the office, DVDs, etc.) -- I think that while they make for a great interview carrot, they're not a reason said programmers will stay. Indeed, once their work ramps up, they'll probably realize they have little time for those "perks" and wonder why the company even bothers.
As a junior, learning from someone who respects you, is able to teach you and is able to lead you is very enticing long-term. It may not have the interview sex appeal that the others do, but it's something I think all serious developers did appreciate (or would have appreciated, if they didn't get it).
Sponsor a corporate-wide subscription to Safari. Allow a junior dev to take 2 or 3 hours a day learning. Make him feel valued. Let him contribute.
Which is another biggie: Make him feel like part of the team, and give him projects which not only interest him, but also challenge him. Too often, the junior dev gets the jobs like "move control X to the lower right corner," or "write all the property routines" (or getters/setters in Java/Obj-C/et al), or "add javascript validation." Give him something to do which makes him feel useful, like a real contributor. He'll appreciate that, too -- and probably become more passionate about your firm and your practices.
(BTW, my use of "him" is not meant to be sexist; it's just a shorthand. Please expand it to "him/her" mentally.)
Casual dress code Free pop (This was one that I really liked back in the dot-com days and miss it sooo much) Flextime and telecommuting Configure there own machine w/dual monitors and a budget Benefits like health care, dental and vision - Some of us like being able to get a discount on glasses or having our teeth checked.
I would also suggest making sure there is a clear process for how work will be done as junior programmers may not necessarily be aware of all the best practices and what kind of environment you want to give them.
Don't throw them in with the general population. Give them a place with some degree of privacy, where they can concentrate and not be constantly distracted by phones, business conversations and foot traffic.
Try to give them specified projects with finite, tangible requirements. Give them goals to achieve, instead of open-ended projects that leave them at the mercy of business types who refuse to ever commit to a specification.
Have and enforce a change request policy. Have and enforce a clearly defined chain of command that requests have to flow through.
Make sure they have more experienced programmers to aspire to and seek advice from.
I would take these things over foosball tables and free soda any day.
I am a recent graduate. In my opinion, the most appealing perk for me is having an interesting project to work on. I don't want to be writing simple in-house enterprise applications all day. This may be someone else's idea of fun. However, it is not mine.
Smart people and cool projects would attract the best programmers. IMO, if you rely only on monetary incentives, you'll most likely attract the wrong crowd.

Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
An assorted item is one that is available in a variety of colors or shapes. When we say "Please let us choose for you" we mean that we cannot designate which color or shape will be shipped to you. We strive to offer assorted items in which all colors or shapes available are equally attractive. If you require a particular color or shape, please visit one of our stores to make your selection.
Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) - and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

I have a brand new iPod Touch (32 GB). I have done nothing to it except to log in and attach it to my home wireless network.
I can attach it to my Ubuntu machines and (after sorting out an issue with a shorted cable) nothing comes of it.
On my iPod classic I had to convert it initially to a WinPod (rather than a MacPod), but I believe that is no longer necessary. Also on that device I turned on the so-called Disk-Mode which I also believe is no longer necessary.
Nonetheless, I cannot make this device mount and become folder-accessible so that I can fill it with flac music goodness.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-Annually more than 6,500 people under the age of 21 die from alcohol related injuries.
Prom and high school graduation are supposed to be a time for students to have fun, dance and celebrate, but mock accidents drive home what can happen if celebrations go too far.
"I don't think it's a good idea, but it happens a lot," says local student, Jessica Cooper.
"You don't really want your friends to be killed in a car accident from a drunk driver, especially on a night like prom or graduation where it's the best night of your life," said local student, Tess Ingermanson.
The consequences can be devastating for families and underage students.
Sarah Fisher, Manager of Prevention Services says, "there's always car crashes, and accidents, failure in school, just risky behaviors in general."
Alcohol prevention groups have gone across the state to put hang tags and stickers on liquor bottles in stores to remind enablers the consequences for purchasing alcohol for a minors.
"The number one way we find teens get there alcohol is they get it from home. The second way is the get some adult to buy it for them," said Fisher.
The Topeka Police Department plans extra preventative measures in the next few weeks.
"We have the opportunity to do D.U.I check lanes," said Captain Brian Desch.
And they say it's important students learn wise choices at home.
"If the parents could talk to their students about the risks and dangers associated with drinking and driving, I think that would go a lot further than getting a call from a police officer late at night telling them their youth is under arrest, "said Desch.
Topeka Police also want to remind students that there are Student Resource Officers at Topeka community schools for support.

Leather SINS has consulted with NCSF about a variety of issues while producing our events. We asked Susan Wright to accept the position as our media spokesperson, posting her phone number on our website so she can respond instantly to any media inquiries. Susan checks every page of our website for each event, looking for statements and phrases that may need clarification or may possibly cause problems if taken out of context by the media.
Leather SINS has gratefully named NCSF as one of our "WE CARE!" charities (along with LA&M). We're proud to be a Coalition Partner of NCSF, and would urge any group to take advantage of NCSF's knowledgeable Incident Response program consultants when producing an event.
In leather heart and soul,
Master Z
Leather SINS President & Event Director
The NCSF Incident Reporting & Response (IRR) program provides assistance to individuals and groups within the alternative sexual expression communities who become victimized because of SM, leather, fetish, or swing practices.

Gun-making policy an example of hypocrisy
Dictionary.com defines a hypocrite as "a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess." Under this definition, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is a hypocrite. He supports banning the sale of some guns in Connecticut, but will allow them to be manufactured here.

If it Moves, Lube it!
One of the most overlooked maintenance requirements of the modern over-the-road vehicle is lubrication. This is of great concern because it is critical that each component is lubed at the right time with the right lube. The modern tractor has an engine that easily allows for extended oil drain intervals due to improvements in engine components, electronics, oils and the additives therein, but we must not assume that the rest of the vehicle can tolerate the same extension. I want to focus on lubrication points that typically do not gain the attention they deserve.
Let's start with drivelines, due to the cost and downtime that typically occur when a vehicle experiences a failure in this area. Whether you do your own maintenance or take your vehicle to a qualified technician, the first step is the same. A thorough inspection must occur before lubricating a driveline. (It is impossible to properly inspect driveline components after lubrication because excess movement will be hidden by the applied grease.) In addition, each grease fitting must be cleaned to ensure that dirt and grit is not forced into the component, since that will reduce yield or lessen the life of the part.
U-joints are properly lubricated when new grease can be seen from all four bearing cap seals of each U-joint. On some yokes, if grease can only be seen from one cap seal, the torque should be checked on the capscrews of that seal. If the torque is OK and all of the seals do not purge, the caps must be removed in order to inspect the seals for damage. Damaged seals require a replacement of the U-joint.
The technician will observe the old grease coming out of the U-joint. Rusty, gritty, or burned grease requires a replacement of the U-joint.
The driveline components must be lubricated per the manufacturer's recommendations or expensive repairs will be coming your way. Do not compromise here to save a few bucks. The cost of replacing a non-purging U-joint pales in comparison to replacing air tanks, air lines, brake chambers and possibly a transmission or rear-end due to a failed U-joint while the vehicle is in operation.
Lubricating the slip yoke is vital, but can be tricky. Grease should appear at the relief hole. Cover the relief hole with your finger until new grease appears from the slip joint seal.
Clutch Release Bearing
Many of the clutch release bearing failures we see today are due to an improper lubrication interval or poor lubrication practices. According to Eaton, their Solo clutch release bearing must be lubricated every 25,000 miles or once a month for on-highway vehicles.
Unapproved lubricants and improper lube procedures will cause premature clutch release bearing, bushing sleeve, and cross-shaft bushing failure. Many vehicles have a lube tube for the release bearing. The inspection cover should be removed to ensure that the lube tube is attached and not leaking. There should be enough lube applied to ensure the grease purges out of the release bearing housing onto the transmission input shaft. You want enough lube for the release bearing to move along the input shaft freely, but not contaminate the friction material on the vehicle's clutch. Apply extra lube onto the transmission shaft between the release bearing housing and the clutch brake. Don't worry about grease getting onto the clutch brake, as it will not affect its operation. Be certain to apply lube to the release yoke fingers to reduce wear to the pads. Finally, lube the cross shaft grease fittings and apply a good spray lithium lubricant to all moving clutch linkage components, such as ball sockets, yokes and yoke pins.
In general, the vehicle operator needs to be aware of the OEM-recommended intervals for lubrication, typically every 25,000 miles, thought that can vary. Drivers who operate mainly on city streets with a lot of stop and go may need more frequent maintenance intervals. Working long-term in a rainy environment can also affect maintenance intervals, since the rain will wash lubrication away.

5 Insane True Stories That Prove Humans Can Survive Anything
Hollywood loves a grueling survival story. When Aron Ralston got trapped under a boulder for 127 hours, Hollywood leaped at the chance to turn his ordeal into a creatively titled feature film starring the Green Goblin. But there is no shortage of extraordinary tales of human endurance out there just waiting to be made into Oscar-baiting movie scripts, such as ...
#5. Douglas Mawson's Antarctic Hell
DC Productions/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Douglas Mawson was an Australian scientist who, at the beginning of the 20th century, set out on a mission to explore Antarctica, an idea that has never worked out well for anybody.
"The 17th time's a charm! Come on, boys!"
On December 14, 1912, Mawson and his two colleagues, Belgrave Ninnis and Xavier Mertz, were returning to base after successfully not dying for a few days. It was apparently one day more than the Antarctic will allow: Tragedy quickly remedied that oversight when Ninnis fell into a crevasse, dragging their sledge, their supplies, and most of their dogs down with him. They were around 310 miles from home.
In order to get back to base, Mawson and Mertz were going to have to trudge through a lifeless ice desert without shelter and only a third of the food required to make the journey -- not to mention the omnipresent threat of shape-shifting aliens and Kurt Russell's disembodied mullet.
Getty Images/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Or Wilford Brimley's diabeetus.
After running out of food, they contemplated eating their dogs, which would force them to carry their own sledge. Hunger soon put an end to that philosophical quandary. Eventually, Mertz died from cold and exhaustion, leaving Mawson to soldier on alone. Still, the horror of the Antarctic wasteland can't defeat a man who grew up in Australia. Suffering conjunctivitis and frostbite so bad that his skin, his hair, and the soles of his feet began to fall off, Mawson trudged onward.
Then, unbelievably (or perhaps totally believably), Mawson's sledge got wedged in the snow and he also fell into a crevasse, where he was left "dangling helplessly above the abyss, with his sledge behind him edging towards the lip." After pulling himself up from a frozen grave and surviving 32 days in the harshest environment on the planet, Mawson finally reached his hut ... where he was told that he would have to wait 10 more months in Antarctica because the ship that was meant to take him back home had sailed off only a few hours earlier, believing him dead.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"We hung around as long as we could, but the Mad Men season premiere is tonight."
Still, before settling down to the most well-deserved nap in the history of mankind, Mawson thought to send his fiancee back home a telegram consisting of the most badass understatement ever uttered: "Deeply regret delay only just managed to reach hut."
Dang. We know you paid by the letter, but seriously: How expensive were telegrams back in the day?
#4. The Marathon Runner Who Got Lost in the Sahara
Goodshoot/Goodshoot/Getty Images
The Marathon des Sables is considered by many to be the toughest foot race on the planet. It's a six-day, 156-mile marathon held in the Sahara Desert in southern Morocco, where only the most insane runners compete.
Cimbaly via darbaroud.com
Even Hidalgo thinks it's crazy.
Enter Mauro Prosperi, a Sicilian policeman and Olympic pentathlete who decided to wager his life on this race, because what else was he going to do in Italy? Eat amazing food and bone beautiful women in the sunshine? Please: Jogging up an infinite sand dune sounds like way more fun.
Four days into the race, Prosperi had worked his way up to seventh place when a sandstorm arose. The rules of the race state that whenever a storm hits, runners are supposed to stop and wait for assistance, but Prosperi decided to screw that noise right in its decibel hole. He'd been to the beach before; a little sand never hurt anybody. He wrapped a scarf around his head and kept on running. Through a sandstorm.
Spencer Platt/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"It's nature's exfoliator!"
When the storm died down six hours later, Prosperi found that trudging through the desert blind and disoriented had sent him so far off course that the flare gun he fired was seen by nobody but himself.
Completely alone in one of the world's largest and most inhospitable deserts, Prosperi had no choice but to keep on walking, even resorting to peeing in his water bottle to preserve fluid. Eventually he stumbled upon an abandoned shrine, but rather than get encouraged by this holy place, he made the reasonable decision to rip the heads off two bats, drink their blood, and slit his wrists. We have to assume that the shrine was to Dio and Prosperi had tried to go out in the most metal way imaginable to appease His Holy Diver-ness.
Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
"Let us now proclaim the mysteries of faith." *Eruption*
Miraculously, Prosperi was so dehydrated that his blood had actually thickened to the point where his cut wrists were unable to bleed out. When he awoke with nothing but a couple of bitchin' scars and a headache, he felt a renewed confidence and decided to fight for life -- although it seems like death had pretty clearly rejected his advances, so what were his options, really? For the next five days, Prosperi continued to push through the Sahara, eating lizards and scorpions and drinking the dew off leaves until he stumbled upon a group of nomads, who informed him that he was now in Algeria, 130 miles from where he was supposed to be.
So how did he live with his newfound zest for life? Prosperi went ahead and applied for the same marathon two years later. He was turned down. So he applied again. This time, having already secured the blessing of Dio, which grants a +2 to Acts of Courageous Insanity, Prosperi made it through unscathed.
Men's Running
"This Urine-Soaked Headband of the Owl should stop me from getting lost again."
#3. The Man Who Survived the Australian Desert by Eating Frogs
NA/Photos.com/Getty Images
In 2001, Ricky Megee woke up face down in the middle of the Australian desert, half buried, with a bunch of dingos trying to eat him. This was the first sign that there were going to be some difficult times in his immediate future.
Duncan Smith/Photodisc/Getty Images
If you look it up in the bad omens encyclopedia, it just shows a middle finger.
Although Megee didn't remember how he wound up in this situation -- the last thing he remembered was driving west through the Outback -- this is likely just something that happens to people sometimes in Australia. What's a night out without waking up buried alive in the Outback as a partial amnesiac in the midst of being devoured by dingos? Boring, that's what.
After 10 days of Australia failing to kill him, which we believe might be some sort of record, Megee managed to make camp near a water dam by building a small shelter out of twigs and branches. This was where he made his home for the next three months, surviving on raw leeches and grasshoppers.
The monkey butlers wouldn't come until later.
For the occasional treat, Megee would catch a frog, and, as he explained it, "I slipped them on to a bit of wire and stuck the wire on top of my [shelter], let the sun dry them out a fair bit until they were a bit crispy and then just ate them." If that doesn't exactly sound like a balanced diet: Don't worry! You're not crazy. It's totally not a good idea at all. While he was eventually found by farm workers and rescued, here's what Megee looked like after his ordeal:
"Dammit, now I'm going to have to buy all new Speedos again."
So basically, expect the raw-leech-and-frog diet to sweep the fashion industry any time now.

Dear Ubuntu-friends,
Today I decided to reinstall an old laptop which was running Ubuntu 9.04 or something. Anyway, when I got to the window where I choose either Try from CD or Install Ubuntu, I chose the latter. However, it said that there was no internet connection. At first I thought, well I'll figure this out after I install so I tried to move on by clicking Continue. But nothing happened for about 20 minutes.
So then I returned and entered the Try from CD option to see what was going on with the network connection. But it appeared that there was no problem whatsoever with the connection. This post is the living prove of that since I am still in the Try from CD option.
I am on an Acer Extensa 5220 laptop and I never had any troubles in the past with installing Ubuntu and malfunctioning network connections. And since the connection seems to be working fine I don't think it's a driver issues.
To sum up: I think the problem is two-fold. On the one hand, I can't continue with the installation because nothing really happens when I press Continue. On the other, the installation process thinks it is not connected to the internet. And I am not sure how, if at all, the two are related.
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have been searching the web, but I can't find an answer. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Burma Highlights + Beach extension BUHB
Burma Cultural Adventure with Ngapali Beach
Should I go?
Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese pro-democracy leader, gave her blessing to the return of tourism to Burma in November 2010. National League for Democracy (NLD) leader U Win Tin said: "We want people to come to Burma, not to help the junta, but to help the people by understanding the situation: political, economic, moral - everything." This marked the end of the tourism boycott started in 1995 and the return of small groups and individuals to Burma has been endorsed by Burma Campaign UK and the Free Burma campaign. Explore are delighted to return to Burma after pulling out in 1995 in response to the call for boycott. We use a privately-owned Burmese agent for all of our services, and whilst each itinerary has been carefully planned to try and avoid using any service owned by or affiliated with the government or former military junta, we accept that some money will make its way into their hands. We strongly believe that by operating tours in Burma we contribute to the local economy in a positive way, whilst providing our customers with an insight into the culture, through direct interaction with Burmese people.

Arab Spring
Council of Europe and Arab Spring
Ever since a desperate man in Tunisia burned himself to death last December, pro-democracy movements have exploded across the Arab world. The revolutionary wave of demonstrations continues to seize our attention, raising headlines and hopes that democracy can replace dictatorship.
After Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland visited Tunisia in February and offered the Council of Europe's practical cooperation, efforts are underway – from the Parliamentary Assembly and the Venice Commission, to the Pompidou Group and the North-South Centre.
The Council of Europe supports women's rights in Africa and the Middle East
- Supporting judicial reforms in the countries of Southern neighborhood – Cooperation with Tunisia
- Council of Europe steps up cooperation with Morocco
- Arab Spring: overcoming violence and upholding women's rights
- Equality after the Arab Spring – women call for change at Parliamentary Assembly
- Tunisia and Morocco in focus
- Syria: Assembly welcomes the emergence of a common position within the international community
- King of Jordan meets with Secretary General
- Calling for women's rights in Lebanon
In July 2011, Olfa Belhassine, journalist for the Tunisian daily "La Presse", visited Strasbourg to report on the Council of Europe. "In a situation of transition, things are far from simple," she said. She stressed the threat not only of Islamic fundamentalists, but also counter-revolutionaries supporting former president Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, who ruled Tunisia for 21 years. "More than ever, we need journalists to reveal to the public what is happening here, and welcome Council of Europe support for press freedom and democracy."
An award-winning journalist, Olfa Belhassine is not only a top reporter for the Tunisian daily "La Presse", but has also published articles on the Arab Spring this year in major French publications including "Le Monde" and "Libération".

Traded Pokemon act different; you can't change their name, they get more experience etc. In the old days, if I recall correctly, trading once meant that pokemon was always "traded", even if your trainer ID matched the pokemon's owner ID.
Is that still the case in Fourth Gen? I've got some pokemon in Diamond I sort of want to give to HeartGold but I'm wondering if they'd be considered "traded" forever.

I am looking for a word that describes people who are important to me or whom I care about. They could be family, friends, or just people I adore. Is there any word for them or anything that comes close? Basically, I want to give a one-word title to my own public list of people.

"Kith and kin" is a lovely phrase for it.
Edit: Oh, you wanted just one word. Kith might cover it (kinsmen and countrymen being the original coverage), or peeps if you're okay with slang.
They are normally called loved ones.
In 2007 David Wong introduced the concept of the monkeysphere - a natural limit on the number of people with whom we can maintain caring yet individual relationships (as opposed, say, to caring about the number of people starving to death in 3rd world countries)*.
It's a funny way of looking at Dunbar's number, which is the numerical limit of those relationships. I've heard it a lot in IT-related psychological circles lately, and I see no limit to the term's uptake. There's something about the recognition of our mutual inability to remember every name, care about every death and touch every life which makes our humanity bearable.
Therefore, if you're looking for a catchy term which will make people pay attention to your list, I recommend "monkeysphere". I find that it sounds both funny and humble.
If, however, your loved ones are not particularly internet- or technology-savvy, and you're intending to share this with people whose favourable opinion you would like to cultivate, I'd stick with a tried and trusted term somewhere between "monkeysphere" and "loved ones":
*NB: The term "monkeysphere" also includes those people with whom we have adversarial relationships. I believe the monkeysphere represents the summation of positive relationships as the adversarial ones tend to zero, so maybe work on that if it's a problem.
I have been using "tribe" for this.
"Clan" seems to be a pretty good fit as it can be applied to family, friends, and people who share [formal or informal] membership in the same categorical group such as a society, level of education, a common trait (such as race, sex, or a rare disease), common language, etc.
The challenge is including "people who I adore" which is difficult to make fit because there are many reasons for adoration. Adoration can, for example, be limited to a single action we approve of so strongly in an individual that it cancels out all other reasons we might also have for disliking that person but which may still exclude them from our "circle of friends and family" (this may be a moot point since you'll be deciding who to include in your "clan" / public list).
Given the rampant pirate/Star Trek references among my group of friends, "crew" seems to be appropriate. YMMV.
"Loved ones" is probably the best answer, but I often hear "(my) people" used in the same sense. If they're your people then I think it's obvious they're important to you. In slang terms it's often shortened to "peeps" or replaced by "homies," which I believe is short for "homeboys"...
At one time I believe "posse" was used in this sense. Maybe it still is. Regardless, it's informal, if that's a concern.
I'll say again, though, I think "loved ones" is probably the best answer, especially in the context given.
If you'd like a literary reference, Kurt Vonnegut coined "karass" in (I think) Breakfast of Champions to describe this.
Dearests, the plural of the noun form of dearest, is a single word with that meaning, though it doesn't appear in all dictionaries.
In the US I'm much more likely to hear it from women than from men, likely due to the emotional intimacy of dear.
Favo[u]rites, though that word is probably over-used in user interfaces these days.
A commonly used phrase for this is

text: It's Monkey D Luffy and he is here to make you smile as much as he is right now. Well maybe not as much as him, he will just put a smile on your face just by looking at his. I thought it was a great idea to fill a request on drawing Luffy from the anime/manga series 'One Piece'. I love how his face and expression came out because it almost looks exactly like it does in the manga as well as the anime. One Piece is also an old anime that has been a favorite for manga lovers since the beginning of the series start. From looking at his face you wouldn't think that he is a pirate, but he is. Luffy is also the main protagonist of both the anime and manga. Like most pirates he has a neck for getting into trouble as well which makes him sort of a threat according to the World Government. Anyways, this lesson was lots of fun to create which means I know all you One Piece lovers will enjoy it too. So long folks, but don't stray too far because I still have more drawing fun coming your way.

Matthew Bannon, a poor art student living in New York City, finds a duffel bag filled with diamonds during a chaotic attack at Grand Central Station. Plans for a worry-free life with his gorgeous girlfriend Katherine fill his thoughts—until he realizes that he is being hunted, and that whoever is after him won't stop until they have reclaimed the diamonds and exacted their revenge.
The perfect lie
Trailing him is the Ghost, the world's greatest assassin, who has just pulled off his most high-profile hit: killing Walter Zelvas, a top member of the international Diamond Syndicate. There's only one small problem: the diamonds he was supposed to retrieve from Zelvas are missing. Now, the Ghost is on Bannon's trail—but so is a rival assassin who would like nothing more than to make the Ghost disappear forever. From "America's #1 storyteller" (Forbes) comes a high-speed, high-stakes, winner-take-all thrill ride of adrenaline-fueled suspense.

Prologue | THE GHOST
SOME PEOPLE ARE harder to kill than others. The Ghost was thinking about this as he huddled in the deep, dark shadows of Grand Central Terminal. A man named Walter Zelvas would have to die tonight. But it wouldn't be easy. Nobody hired the Ghost for the easy jobs.
It was almost 11 p.m, and even though the evening rush was long over, there was still a steady stream of weary travelers.
The Ghost was wearing an efficient killing disguise. His face was lost under a tangle of matted silver-and-white hair and shaggy beard, and his arsenal was hidden under a wine-stained gray poncho. To anyone who even bothered to take notice, he was just another heap of homeless humanity seeking refuge on a quiet bench near Track 109.
He eyed his target. Walter Zelvas. A great hulk of a man with the nerves and reflexes of a snake and a soul to match. Zelvas was a contract killer himself, but unlike the Ghost, Zelvas took pleasure in watching his victims suffer before they died. For years, the ruthless Russian had been an enforcer for the Diamond Syndicate, but apparently he had outlived his usefulness to his employer, and the Ghost had been hired to terminate him.
If he doesn't kill me first, the Ghost thought. With Zelvas it was definitely a matter of kill or be killed. And this would surely be a duel to the death between them.
So the Ghost watched his opponent closely. The screen on the departures monitor refreshed and Zelvas cursed under his breath. His train was delayed another thirty minutes.
He drained his second cup of Starbucks cappuccino, stood up, and crumpling his empty cup, deposited it in the trash.
No littering, the Ghost thought. That might attract attention, and the last thing Zelvas wanted was attention.
That's why he was leaving town by train. Train stations aren't like airports. There's no baggage check, no metal detector, no security.
Zelvas looked toward the men's room.
All that coffee will be the death of you, the Ghost thought as Zelvas walked across the marble floor to the bathroom.
A half-comatose porter, mop in hand, was sloshing water on the terminal floor like a zombie tarring a roof. He didn't see Zelvas coming.
A puddle of brown water came within inches of the big man's right foot. Zelvas stopped. "You slop any of that scum on my shoes and you'll be shitting teeth," he said.
The porter froze. "Sorry. Sorry, sir. Sorry."
The Ghost watched it all. Another time, another place, and Zelvas might have drowned the man in his own mop water. But tonight he was on his best behavior.
Zelvas continued toward the bathroom.
The Ghost had watched the traffic in and out of the men's room for the past half hour. It was currently empty. Moment of truth, the Ghost told himself.
Zelvas got to the doorway, stopped, and turned around sharply.
He made me, the Ghost thought at first.
Zelvas looked straight at him. Then left, then right.
He's a pro. He's just watching his back.
Satisfied he wasn't being followed, Zelvas entered the men's room.
The Ghost stood up and surveyed the terminal. The only uniformed cop in the area was busy giving directions to a young couple fifty feet away.
The men's room had no door—just an L-shaped opening that allowed the Ghost to enter and still remain out of sight.
From his vantage point he could see the mirrored wall over the sinks. And there was Zelvas, standing in front of a urinal, his back to the mirror.
The Ghost silently reached under his poncho and removed his equally silent Glock from its holster.
The Ghost had a mantra. Three words he said to himself just before every kill. He waited until he heard Zelvas breathe that first sigh of relief as he began to empty his bladder.
I am invincible, the Ghost said in silence.
Then, in a single fluid motion, he entered the bathroom, silently slid up behind Zelvas, aimed the Glock at the base of his skull, and squeezed the trigger.
And missed.
Some people are harder to kill than others.

I run several servers (Win Svr 2k3 & Ubuntu) at home and have quite a few files now stored on various shares. I often find, when organizing files into directories, that there really isn't just one folder where it makes sense to put something. What seems to be the perfect solution for this problem is a web-based interface that allows tagging and searching (similar to gmail's mail tagging system)
Does anyone know of a web-based file management system that would allow me to "tag" files and, subsequently, browse and search these tags? I'm not looking for anything extremely fancy and platform isn't a major issue either.

Day of Colorado Beer – Oskar Blues and Left Hand Brewing
Jun 09
beer, breweries beer, colorado, g'knight, good juju, left hand, left hand brewing company, mama's little yella pils, milk stout, mutilator doppelbock, oskar blues, sawtooth, stranger, workingman's stout No Comments
I had a couple of meetings in Denver and afterwards I met up with my brother who lives in Boulder and we headed out to Longmont to do a little beer pilgrimage. Originally I had just intended to hit Left Hand Brewing but while driving to Longmont we also saw Oskar Blues, which I didn't realize had relocated to Longmont, so we got a 2 for 1 deal and I went home with some great beer under my belt (or maybe above my belt).
Oskar Blues
I had always thought that Oskar Blues was based in Lyons, which is in the opposite direction from where we were going,but the brewing operations have since moved to Longmont. We hit up the Home Made Liquids and Solids restaurant which has decent(ish) food but a great beer selection with a bunch of their craft beers. Their sampler works just like a sushi menu; you check off 5 that you want, and they bring it to you. Pretty good system.
Oskar Blues is famous for being the first craft brewery to do cans and I haven't had a ton of opportunity to have their stuff on draft. I had Mama's Little Yella Pils (on Nitro), the Priscilla Wheat, the G'Knight, the Mutilator Doppelbock, and the Workingman's Stout.
The Beer
The Little Yella Pils on Nitro was pretty interesting. I liked how the nitro turned it into a more creamy pilsner. The taste was the same, and for a good, crisp beer, you can't go wrong with Mama's Little Yella, so it was really enjoyable. The Priscilla was also quite good. It had a great haze to it and was nice sitting outside with the sun bearing down. It wasn't the best wheat I'd ever had, but the hints of coriander and the nice citrus flavor made it a solid summer beer if you're in the area. The Mutilator and the Workingman's Stout were both good examples of the style but they didn't blow me away. The Mutilator was probably my favorite of the bunch just because the doppelbock isn't a common style and the Mutilator had a nice mix of earthy yeast, nut flavors, and a more piney bitterness. It was a fun exploration outside of the core styles I associate with Oskar Blues.
Left Hand Brewing Company
It's really hard not to be a big fan of Left Hand. I think they get lost a little bit amongst the bigger Colorado brewers, but the make some damn fine beers and have the awards to back it up. I'd wanted to check them out for a while and the brewery is just a quick 20 minute drive east of Boulder. We got there just as it opened, at 3:00, and almost had the tasting room to ourselves. They do a 4-beer taster and you can pick any set of 4 beers you want. The tasters are a little bit bigger pours than most tasters but I'd almost rather trade the extra volume for another sample of beer.
The place itself is nice and chill. They also provide some very cool information cards for each of the beers so you can geek out on all of the stats and info. The vibe is very Colorado with rough stone tables, lots of woodwork, and a sunny patio for enjoying watching the sun go down with a tasty beer.
The Beer
First it must be said that I'm a huge idiot. I didn't realize that the TNT was actually made with Tea. As you'll find out, I'm a bit of a tea snob and I love it when tea and alcohol mix. The fact that I missed that the TNT had nice, smokey, delicious Lapsang Souchong makes me ashamed. Thankfully I think I can get some in Seattle. In the end I went with the Good Juju, Sawtooth, Stranger, and the Milk Stout.
The Good Juju was solid. I really like Ginger in beers and this had a nice balance of it. They also used a good combination of hops that kept it bitter, but not over the top grapefruit/citrusy so it came across as more of a zesty beer than a citrusy one. The Stranger was a good, but not exceptional american pale ale. Big on the northwest citrus hops, it wasn't quite as overblown as an IPA, definitely a bit lighter, but still big on that citrus hop flavor. It was nice, and very drinkable, just not all that unique. I did really enjoy the Sawtooth a lot. I hadn't realized this was their flagship beer and I'd never tried it before, but it's worth picking up. I generally like the ESB style, but I like their Americanized version more. Bigger hop profile (the US Goldings mixed with Cascade and Willamette hops) but still maintaining the overall malt toastyness of the ESB style. Really nice beer.
Left Hand Milk Stout
I will admit to not being a huge stout or porter fan. That said, whatever they put in the Milk Stout makes it taste like unicorn kisses. It is a phenomenal beer. It's a great combination of chocolate, dark malts, and then just that perfect hint of sweetness and milk which gives it great texture and a creamy taste that almost makes it seem like you're drinking a darker and burnt chocolate milk mocha. If God were to drink a stout, this is what he'd drink. One of the great things about going to the brewery is that I got to try it on Nitro. Take all of the awesomeness of the normal Milk Stout and then times it by 50. The nitro makes a creamy beer even creamier. I just wanted to sit there for days drinking this beer, looking out at the Colorado plains and pondering life.
Sadly, all great things must come to an end, and I had a flight to catch. We said our thank you's, headed back to Boulder for dinner, and reflected on an awesome afternoon. The waitstaff at both Oskar Blues and Left Hand were great and very helpful. It was also awesome for me to be able to check Left Hand off of my keg list (bucket lists are for suckers). Can't wait to see what Left Hand will come up with for GABF. The pictures from the afternoon are all up on Flickr if you're interested.

This is just a basic drawing of the cartoon version of Psy which is what he uses as his mascot. The tutorial on his full body doing the horse dance can actually be found in the Top 50 because it's number one. This is going to be a very easy, and fun lesson to tackle especially if you are a fan of Psy. Enjoy all there is with this tut. Thanks folks.

In a paper I developed some theory; some of the applications require extensive computations that are not part of the paper. I wrote a Mathematica notebook. I want to publish a PDF and .nb version somewhere to refer to from the paper. arXiv.org seems a good choice, but they won't accept the .nb file. I do not want to put this through peer review. Where to publish it?
You should upload the notebook along with the sources of the actual article to the arXiv, of course.
The official (but rather hard to find) advice on this from the arXiv is to place your code in a directory called /aux/. (This is problematic for windows users.)
You can see an example of this in my recent paper on the extended Haagerup subfactor. A footnote in the text of the article explains that the code is available along with the source download. It would also be appropriate to use the comments field in an arxiv submission to explain that source code is available in the /aux/ directory.
The problem with storing the files on your personal website is that it is not clear how long that website will remain valid. What happens if you move to a new institution and your old account gets deactivated? The arXiv solution pointed out by Scott Morrison is better.
Here is another possibility: Some journals that publish an electronic version in addition to (or instead of) a paper version will allow you to include ancillary files with the electronic version of an article. If you'll excuse the self-promotion, see this journal's website, for example.

STEUBENVILLE - The death of Lee West at age 15 in a house fire on Jan. 31 was a tragedy, but his family and friends want people to remember the positive impact he had on those he knew.
That's why, with the help of many, they organized a pool party on his birthday in July and a community Christmas party Saturday at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center.
"We wanted to make sure the year didn't go out without us doing something," said Bernadine White, Lee's grandmother and one of many who aided Cookie West, Lee's mother, in staging the event.

FAMILY TIME — Several families formed teams for a basketball tournament that was part of a community Christmas party held in memory of Lee West Saturday at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. The event was coordinated by friends and family of West, who was killed in a fire at age 15 on Jan. 31.
Though the morning's heavy snowfall led the organizers to postpone the event by an hour, many turned out to view or participate in a basketball tournament pitting teams of families against each other and refreshments that included pizza donated by area businesses and cookies and punch supplied by volunteers.
Cookie said because her son died from inhaling carbon monoxide during the blaze, she invited the City Fire Department to talk to attendees about fire safety and the importance of placing carbon monoxide detectors in their homes.
White said she hopes the event will help to underscore the need for recreational opportunities for the city's youth at a time when the city, citing financial difficulties, has closed the pool at Belleview Park and the future of the center itself is in question.
As a youth growing up in Martins Ferry, she has good memories of swimming and skating at facilities in that community, she said, and believes youth need such activities to occupy them outside school.
White said her grandson would have enjoyed Saturday's event.
"He was a community-type of guy. He wanted people to get along and have fun," she said.
White added, "He was very unassuming, a wonderful child. He was my peacemaker. He didn't meet any strangers and if there were people who were at odds with each other, he did everything he could to bring them together."
She recalled the many classmates who turned out for Lee's funeral.
"That was the kind of influence he had on everybody. They just loved him for who he was and he accepted them for who they were," White said.
"We miss him. We really do miss him a lot. He was just wonderful," she added.
