You can see here a basic map of Schieren from OpenStreetMap, but you can switch easily to other types of the map: Just choose the second option above the map and you can see Bing Maps, which offer other types of detailed maps of Schieren, related countries, geographical places etc. You can also switch to aerial and birds eye maps of Schieren there.
You may remember we offered other types of maps here also in the past, for example Google Maps, Nokia Maps and MapQuest Maps, and many kinds of their infomaps, like the traffic map, bike trails, weather map, map with photos and map of public transport from these sources. But some of these services cancelled their operations or changed the conditions under which their maps may be displayed. We sincerely hope you appreciate these new kinds of maps here, as you can see, for example, the difference between the OpenStreetMap vector map tiles from Mapzen shown by Leaflet here and the bitmap tiles from Bing Maps. We are considering adding more maps of Schieren in the near future again.
You may not only switch among different types of maps using the switches above the map, but you can also change settings of the map using controls on the map. See more details of Schieren using the zoom control on the left side or see street or terrain map of Schieren using the controls on the top of the map (Bing Maps). In the past you could also place the yellow figure (Google Maps) to see a street view of any interesting place, but this feature is not available here anymore. But you can see the Birds eye view on the Bing Maps here. Notice: Not all features are available everywhere. Some maps offer more details then the others.

TEMPE, ARIZONA -- I had to deal with LifeLock in regards to taking care of my elderly parents finances. I contacted LifeLock with my parents on the phone to discuss their account since I was not allowed to discuss their account without their permission. After a series of questions they told us s few things about the account, however that was it. I asked how I could be authorized to be on their account so that I could monitor their finances since I am the Executor of their Estate and have POA over their Estate. They told me to send in a POA which I did and had it completed by an attorney. I received a letter back from LifeLock that said it was not good enough.
I could not believe it, what more did they want? My blood and my first born to be on my parents account? After I checked over my parents credit cards and saw LifeLock had charged them over $825 for their annual renewal I was done. I called them and again had to get my 84 yr old Mother on the phone to get them to even talk to me. All they tried to do when we told them we wanted to cancel they tried to "talk" us into another type of LifeLock acct.
My Mother got very mad and when we got disconnected she called them back and again tried to cancel, after 15 minutes of being on hold and then being shuffled around to different departments she finally told the guy, she was DONE and to cancel her account she was tired of the runaround. I think they finally got it and said they would cancel it. However never told her if they would refund the $825 so now I am going to have to get a hold of American Express and have them dispute the charges.
This was the biggest mess of a company that says they are here to help keep people safe. They are way overpriced and all they do is make sure someone does not get a "new" account using your info. They do not monitor your bank accounts so why pay this much money for their so called protection!
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- I signed up for LifeLock. A few months later I bought a new truck which was partially financed. I heard nothing from LifeLock. Two months later I moved my business. I change the address on 5 back accounts, one brokerage account as well as my mailing address for all correspondence. Still nothing from LifeLock! When I called them to complain they asked my new address so they could "update" my service.
I asked to speak to a manager to find out why my ID was not being monitored. They said they would "get back to me." After waiting a few weeks I called to cancel service. They were not to pleased and tried to deter me, warning me that I would be totally unprotected and at risk of having my ID stolen. What a joke!
They lie when you sign up and tell you that they monitor your social security number and tell you when it is being used, but don't you believe it. If the company isn't part of their network then they don't monitor anything. I still get pre approved credit card offers also. They do not monitor your social, just the companies that are part of their network. I have been identity thefted while a LifeLock member but since the crook applied for credit through companies that wasn't part of LifeLock's network they got away with it. LifeLock will lie to you and when you think you're protected, you're not.
I went online to LifeLock to cancel my service. There is no way to cancel online that I could find. I did send an email but decided the next day, since I hadn't yet heard back, that I should call. I did. Specifically told the CSR that I did not want to get into a long discussion as to why I was canceling; I simply wanted to cancel and be on my way. 20 minutes later he is still giving me his spiel and I am getting more and more annoyed. Finally I told him "I assumed the service was cancelled; if it was not and it was charged to my credit card I would contest the charge; have a good day" and I hung up.
Yup, you guessed it, he called back to tell me how offended he was; how he had a wife and a child and was a good person; that he wasn't finished talking to me when I hung up. I wasn't sure if I was talking to a CSR or in the middle of group therapy. Anyhow, shame on LifeLock that trains their CSRs to make it so difficult and annoying to simply cancel their service.
TEMPE, ARIZONA -- Recently, I received a letter from LifeLock advising me that they are unable to renew my account because the credit card on file was not valid. I contacted them to update the credit card information - apparently they had an old credit card number which was stolen (incidentally, LifeLock did not catch this, my credit card company discovered it). The representative on the phone told me the account had already been closed, though I contacted them within the 15-day period as stipulated in the letter.
The representative said they attempted to call me and sent E-mails to me advising me of the account issues. I did not receive any phone calls, though they have my cell phone, home phone and wife's cell phone numbers. In addition, after a search of my Inbox, I found no E-mails from them alerting me of any account issues. LifeLock's main claim is they are constantly searching for any abuses and immediately contact you for any discoveries. They failed to contact me concerning my account payment, how can I trust them to contact me when there are problems? I told the representative that I was not interested in reactivating my LifeLock account.
I just saw a LifeLock advertisement that shows a diner waitress copying a customers credit card #... Basically implying that she's going to use it... or "steal his identity". I'm a waitress... and I just want to say first: I would NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT... And second: that commercial makes hard working waitresses look scandalous! I work hard for my money & don't anyone else's money other than my own!! So thanks for making us "hard working waitresses" look like criminals!!
TEMPE, ARIZONA -- LifeLOCK looked like a POSSIBLE benefit. However, they appear to be a SCAM. I sent the following inquiry 4 times. They did not respond to any of them. If they won't answer BEFORE they get your money they probably won't respond afterwards. In their Terms of Service they indicate in one place you have 30 days to notify them of ID theft. In another place they say you have 15 days. Looks like a perfect setup to deny benefits because "you waited too long." I am surprised that RipOff Report actually recommends this company. What's up with that? BE CAREFUL!
A hospital in my area sent me and thousands of other people in my area a letter saying a laptop was stolen from their admin offices and everyone's information was on there. So in good faith they offered everyone Equifax Gold Alert for one full year. I received a new credit card in the mail the other day. My Sales account was taken over by CitiBank and they sent me a card to be activated over the phone. I called and activated it. This was 5 days ago.
The next day I received an email from Equifax Gold telling me a new account was opened up in my name. No alert from LifeLock whatsoever. I gave it a few days and still nothing from LifeLock. I called LifeLock just now and explained to them what happened.
The rep basically gave me a little runaround but she said "LifeLock doesn't monitor your credit, they aren't allowed to." Her exact words. They put fraud alerts in your credit file so when someone or yourself opens up a line of credit, the creditor will call you. When I activated that card, LifeLock didn't do anything, only the free service from the Hospital theft. Go figure. I will not be renewing my LifeLock in a year and I will make sure I watch to see if they charge me for the year and not tell me which I'm sure they will.
TEMPE, ARIZONA -- LifeLock offers a 30-day free trial, yet they charge your credit card before you hang up the phone. Even if you close your account with them, they continue to bill your card.
I signed up Feb 6 and was assured three times they would not charge my card. Yet, they charged $176 to my check card, placing my checking account in overdrawn status. It took three days to resolve this. I called on 7 Feb to cancel my subscription with them, which was done. However, on March 6, LifeLock again charged $176 to my check card, which was taken out of my checking account. I called LifeLock and was told they did not deactivate my card when I cancelled my subscription and they would credit my money as soon as they could (no timetable). You can do on your own for free what LifeLock claims to do for $176/yr.

I liked this book because Karen does all these things to make herself pretty. I like the illustrations because they are very realistic. Karen acts like my sister. A lesson to be learned from this book is that you shouldn?t judge people by their looks. I liked her brother because he likes to play and is always laughing.
I would highly recommend this book. You will not want to put down this book once you start reading it. If you like The Babysitter?s club books, you will love this one.

Many folks who park in a Chicago garage or lot would pay more come July under a proposal the City Council Finance Committee endorsed Monday despite objections from the hotel industry.
Anyone who pays a parking fee of more than $25 for a weekday, $125 for a week or $600 a month would see their parking tab go up under Mayor Rahm Emanuel's proposal that's set for a full council vote Wednesday. But anyone who pays less than those amounts to park would pay less in taxes, city officials said.
"If you've got a premium service, you will pay more," city Budget Director Alexandra Holt told aldermen. "If you're paying an economy rate, you will actually pay less under our proposal."
Drivers who pay an early-bird daily rate of $12 during the week would see the parking tax drop to $2.40 from the current $5. But the tax will be higher for those who pay more than $25 to park. For example, if the fee were $35, the tax would be $7 instead of the current $5.
The city plans to calculate parking taxes at 20 percent on weekdays and 18 percent on weekends. Those taxes are now calculated on a tiered, flat-rate system that city officials say confused motorists and parking operators alike. New York charges 18.4 percent, San Francisco 25 percent and Philadelphia 20 percent, city officials said.
Holt did offer one caveat, saying she could not guarantee that parking operators who see their total parking fees decrease because of lower taxes won't decide to raise their underlying rates to make more money.
"I will caution that we don't know how the industry will react moving from a flat rate to a percentage rate, so there may be some swing in our numbers," Holt said, adding that the new plan was designed with the "revenue neutral" goal of raising $122 million to $125 million a year.
Hotel operators, meanwhile, said overnight parkers at hotels would be hit too hard by the new rates. The average overnight parking fee at a Chicago hotel is $42.31, and hotel owners said the tax on that tab would be $8.46.
"The percentage has a severe effect on our hotels and the overnight guests who stay there," said Marc Gordon, president of the Illinois Hotel and Lodging Association. He also noted that the maximum 24-hour tax was $3 in 2011.
"These are the guests who come in and spend in our hotels and spend their money in the city and pay the taxes and do all the good things that have a tremendous effect on our city's economy," Gordon said.
But Ald. Jason Ervin, 28th, said hotels could simply charge less for parking, even after Gordon explained that hotels have to pay for valet parking.
"I just think that the amounts I've seen at some of these hotels are just ridiculous," Ervin said. "I think that probably has a greater detriment — just the outright rate — than the taxes being charged on the parking itself."
Ald. Brendan Reilly, 42nd, whose ward includes most of downtown, told the Tribune in an email that he was "100 percent opposed" to the proposed parking tax structure.
"It will result in a 69 percent tax rate hike on overnight parking in hotel garages and provides a two-tier rate for public garages that allows them to raise their lowest base parking rates on parkers without triggering the highest tax rate," Reilly said.

Kaya came over to visit the other afternoon and ran toward the house with more than her usual supernova of excitement, not because she was about to run inside to play video games, because there aren't any in there, or to do puzzles or draw pictures or write letters which she loves and can do for hours; she was overjoyed at spotting some big icicles dangling from the high eave that she couldn't reach, and then on the rim of one of the rain barrels she found a gleaming, straight, clear and thick icicle that she could get hold of and break off and lift up and look at from all angles - icicles held up high are filled with blue sky, as she demonstrated to all - then she had to find a worthy place for the shining crown jewel of the vicinity, she couldn't just throw it away or take it into the house and admire it by the woodstove, but where could she put it that would do justice to its beauty?
She searched and found the perfect spot on the front of our car, where the long diamond would fit snugly yet stand upright, pointing to the sky like an icicle should, to a child's way of thinking, like a diamondy thing from a story, and lo and behold, there stood the soul of fantasy, right on the front of our formerly just plain car, now turning into diamond. Clear and real was the magical ice, and the light it carried, so valuable and desirable, but shortlived, so all the more lookable at. When at last we went inside we could still see it from a window: a diamond full of sky, shining there in the dusk.
Almost goes without saying that Kaya is bored with school...

Subtle & Sophisticated: Fall Decorating Ideas for your Front Entry
If you're a little late to the party when it comes to decorating your outdoor space for autumn, don't fret — there's still plenty of time before you start doling out candy to the wee ones. And while I do enjoy a little autumn flair, I'm not one for gaudy, over-the-top embellishments. These five images are superb examples of subtle and sophisticated fall decorations, offering a little inspiration to dress up your front entry just in time for Halloween.
1. No surprise that decorating guru Mary Carol Garrity would nail it. Her Greek Revival home is decked out with a pair of swags of wispy, colorful fall branches. But it's the matching cast-iron urns topped with metal orbs that seriously turn the sophistication up a notch while making the black door pop. From Sweet Something Designs.
2. If you haven't noticed, perhaps I have a thing for urns, and this might be my favorite idea so far! Using a urn for the base, bay leave wreaths are sandwiched between stacked pumpkins for a vertical pumpkin topiary. Ornamental flowering cabbages and kale round off the stoop. Helen Norman for Southern Living.
3. This home uses the front door color as inspiration for the decorating palette. Yellow and green gourds fill the baskets while bluish-green pumpkins line the steps. Yellow and green oak leaves, along with a spray of wisteria, finishes off the color theme. Christina Schmidhofer for Sunset.
4. This autumn decor from Terrain could easily be translated to one's front entry. A thick rope suspends a variety of gourds that you could alter for your front porch or even above your door if it was on a smaller scale. Via Scissors and Spice.
5. A simple harvest wreath for the front door with tiny pumpkins lined in a row on the ledge above the door. An ordinary design, but the pumpkins add an element of fun. Image from Two Inspire You on Etsy, via Meu Cachixo.
What's your fall decorating style? Do you lean more subtle and sophisticated or do you prefer pumpkins and plastic baubles abound?

Francis Ofner
Born: July 18, 1913
Novi Sad, Yugoslavia
Francis grew up in a city with a Jewish community of 5,000. The Ofners belonged to a synagogue that sponsored many social activities, from sports to care for the elderly. In 1931 Francis began law school at the University of Zagreb. While a student, he organized a service that posted on university bulletin boards the translations of speeches by Nazi leaders broadcast on the radio.
1933-39: By the time Hitler became chancellor of Germany, I was heavily involved in trying to unify the university's Jewish students against the Nazi threat. In 1933 I helped organize the Betar Zionist organization in Yugoslavia. We helped send immigrants illegally to Palestine, trained Jews in self-defense, and cooperated with anti-Nazi Yugoslavs to counter pro-German activities in our country.
1940-45: On March 25, 1941, Yugoslavia allied itself with Germany. I participated in preparations for the coup that ousted the pro-German government two days later. But by April 6, Germany and its allies had invaded Yugoslavia and the city Novi Sad, where I lived, was occupied by Hungarian forces. I was taken away by the Hungarians for forced labor along with most of the city's Jewish men. This saved me, for while I was gone the Gestapo came to Novi Sad to arrest me because of my anti-German activities.
In 1942 Francis fled from Budapest to Turkey. In Istanbul he was hired by the U.S. Office of War Information as the Balkan Press Liaison Officer. He immigrated to Palestine in 1945.

GQ's absolutely scientific, utterly rigorous, completely definitive list of the best videos, sites, feeds, articles, people, hoas, and memes in the entire history of the Internet
*Not, like, the entire history of the Internet. More like the history of the Internet back to 1993, when our parents got AOL dial-up.
**Per official Gentlemen's Quarterly policy, this list is almost entirely cat-free.
- Between Two Ferns
Zach Galifianakis's "fake" talk show is realer than "real" talk shows. And funnier. Here are the top three episodes—Mark Byrne
The Guest: Bruce Willis
Weirdly honest moment: "When you were making The Whole Ten Yards, did you ever worry that it would be too good? ... I'll just keep moving. Did you know that some actors turn down roles?"
How it ends: Zach catches fire.
The Guests: Tila Tequila and Jennifer Aniston
Weirdly honest moment: Zach to Tila: "I got a blow job once on a motorcycle," which is precisely what you would say to impress Tila Tequila.
How it ends: Jennifer calls Zach fat.
The Guest: Charlize Theron
Weirdly Honest Moment: Charlize: "Oh my god! You are hilarious! You know how you made it really funny? The image of me, and you, naked in a pool? Like, me naked in a pool with a fat garden gnome? That's really good! You are really good. You are REALLY. Good."
How it ends: Zach: "I hope your dog dies."
- Get Your War On (2001-2009)
"I think people passed it around because it expressed some of the skepticism they were feeling about the war on terror— skepticism that didn't have wide representation in pop culture at the time (i.e., one month after 9/11). Also, I think people liked the cursing."—David Rees, creator
- Yahoo Answers (2005-present)
Your septuagenarian aunt's search engine of choice seems an unlikely venue for the Strangest Things on the Internet. But then you come across these:
4-7. LOLCelebz
On the internet, mega-celebrities, normally a careful, well-coiffed people, are willing to be silly, lunatic, and/or disgusting. Here, our favorite moments of celeb-generated laughs.—Andrew Richdale
**Ben Stiller in "Burning love" **
Who it also stars: Ken Marino, Jennifer Aniston, Malin Akerman
What it is: a mock Bachelor from the writers of Childrens Hospital
Why it's funny: The female contestants included a pregnant flight attendant, Ken Jeong in a wig, an 84-year-old cougar, and a woman who is always bottomless. [Editor's note: Not Malin Akerman.]

Who it stars: Don Draper, only unshaven, kinda hungover-looking, and wearing a St. Louis cardinals T-shirt

Why it's funny: Hamm's counsel to said girls: "Farting is farting. everybody farts."
**Channing Tatum in "Dirty Dancing" **

- Kelsey Grammer Wipes Out (2005)
He's walking, he's enunciating, and... Grammer is down. Repeat, Grammer is down. Bonus laughs: his perfectly Grammerian "Oh, good Lord!" reaction.
- Cop Freaks Out (2007)
A police officer eats a pot brownie, then calls 911 to say, "I think we're dead. I really do."
- Auto-Tune the News!
Auto-Tune can make Lil Wayne's voice sound funny; The Gregory Brothers proved that it could do the same for cable news. GQ tests the limits of its power.
_**Words You Can AutoTune To Sound Funny: **_Hey!, Okay!, Alright!, Yeah!, Uh!, Ah!, You!, Crisp!, Filibuster!, Girl!, Grrr!
Words You Cannot Autone To Sound Funny: Urethritis, Arthur Fonzarelli, swollen glands, I feel peaceful in my treehouse, I'll take seconds on those curly fries, Robert Rauschenberg
- Animals
To misquote Louis C.K., you don't have to be smart to laugh at animal humor, but you'd have to be an idiot not to.
1990: A Usenet group for Furries
Funny to most; highly erotic to others.
2006: Advice Dog
Who can deny THAT FACE?

2012: BuzzFeed gets an animals editor
He makes more than you.
- The Starr Report
The 1998 online release (gross) of independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr's report on Bill Clinton was a seminal (grosser) moment in the history of the Internet.—Alex French
**Mark Leibovich (The New York Times): **Sex, goofing off at work, and breaking news. That's why it was formative.
Leslie Walker (The Washington Post)****: We were all hitting the reload button to see what other news outlets were reporting. as the juiciest bits."
**Ken Layne (Wonkette): **This was culmination of a decade of Bill Clinton sex scandal stories. It had been driving the right bat shit crazy for ten years that this guy could fuck everything in sight and still march right to the White House on a road of bones.
**Lizz Winstead (The Daily Show): **What made it worse is it came down and then we had to listen to politicians repeating the details over and over again.
**Seiger: **I remember searching the document. 'Cigar' was the first thing we searched.
**Winstead: **The word "insertion" has never been more cringeworthy.
13-16. The Funniest Stars of the Twitterverse
**Best Political Parody: **
**@Mayoremanuel **

Yes I'm on birth control. It's called "my face"

- Twitter's Steroidal Idiot Savant
To the ex-jock, everything that happens in the world is about him: He tweets about the theory of gravity, sports, Pope Francis, drones, Canada, whatever. Like: "higgs boson is an energy bridge not an enemy." The result is a world that is dumber, more surreal, and more entertaining.
[UPDATE: Or possibly he's a lunatic, and we should all unfollow him.]
- Bad Lip-Reading
**GQ: Hey, anonymous creator of these inspired viral videos, why did you start doing this? **
Bad Lip-Reading: The core of the concept goes back to the fact that my mother lost her hearing when she was in her 40s, and I watched as she learned to read lips as a grown adult. She was amazing at it. And sometimes I would mute the sound on the television and try to lip read the actors, just to try to understand what her world was like. But I was the worst at it. I mean, my brain could come up with word combinations that fit their mouths, but I knew there was no way Peter Jennings was talking about "stiff colored gnomes" or whatever I might have come up with. Then I did Rebecca Black's "Friday" video the same way just for fun, and the whole thing exploded.
GQ: What's the secret components to a truly great bad lip read?
Bad Lip-Reading: The truly ideal subject is something that takes itself very seriously, like the Twilight films or emotionally manipulative political ads. If you take something very serious like that and you make the people onscreen say completely inane things, it always works. Watching people say absolutely batshit crazy things very earnestly will always be funny. It just is.
**GQ: My favorite is the NFL one. **
Bad Lip-Reading: I think one reason the NFL video works so well is because, while we may see some of the players on television frequently, most of us have no idea what they actually sound like. So, it's easier to buy into my voice coming out of their mouths. And also football games in general tend to be largely humorless; it's about aggression and testosterone and anger and glory and defeat. All serious things. So, again, to take that and make it completely ridiculous is just funny.—Jennifer Schwartz
- Craigslist Missed Connections
This supposed romantic aid for star-crossed strangers has been a font of amazing, probably unintentional humor for bored people at work since 2000. Here, a template for priceless Craigslist Mad Libs:
20-22. Jesus
On the Internet as elsewhere in human history, Jesus has made his mark. Here, the three funniest Lambs of God online:
"The Spirit of Christmas" Jesus
The 1995 breakout short by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, in which an action-hero Savior battles Santa claus, has surpassed its source material, the New Testament.
Heresy-o-Meter: † † † †
Raptor Jesus
In this meme, He has a human body and a dinosaur head—exactly the opposite of the Jesus so many people worship.
Heresy-o-Meter: † † †
"Christ on Toast"
Jesus can appear in many surprising places: in hospital wards, on battlefields, on pieces of toasted bread that are sold on eBay.
Heresy-o-Meter: †
- "Five Black Guys Tag-Team-Dry-Hump a Chair/Wall/Floor/Mirror/Air"
We watched a deeply weird YouTube video of dudes demonstrating their lovemaking prowess...on their living room furniture. Here's what we learned about how to sex up ladies, and also ottomans.
1) Set the mood. Make sure the music is on, turn on overhead fluorescents, and introduce yourself by your "sex name." (It should be understated and subtle, like "Da Humpsmith" or "Peeno Sexmaker.")
2) Get into it. Let the music do its thing, and then just "do you." Or, more accurately, "do" your grandmother's sectional sofa. Note: Be safe. Couches and ottomans are fine, but humping a lamp or a Blu-ray player is risky.
3) Upload the video! This is your chance to show ladies all around the world (!) your hump moves. Today a foldout couch, tomorrow night a human vagina. And rest easy: There's virtually no way you'll ever be embarrassed by this.
"Then he said that he had eaten such a taco and that it tasted of bootblack and horsefeed. That if this taco was under God's dominion then surely all other great evils must be as well."—In which a faux Mccarthy gives Taco Bell a two-star rating
- Dock Ellis on LSD
In 1970, Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis fired a no-hitter while tripping (curve)balls. Even better? This video of him telling the story over suitably insane animation by James Blagden. It is either art or humor, though it's hard to say which.
26-28. Anchor Bloopers
*Ranked by Effective Use of the Not-FCC-allowed "Fuck"
**A. **"I'LL WRITE IT AND WE'LL DO IT LIVE. FUCK IT. FUCKING THING SUCKS."—Bill O'Rilly, Inside Edition, Outtake
B._ "Takes a tough man to make a tender forecast, Nick... Keep fucking that chicken."—Ernie Anastos, FOX5, New York, 2009 _
C. "At 11, pay more at the grocer but getting less. We'll tell you how to get the most.... THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?"—Sue Simmons, WNBC, New York, 2008
29-34. 4Chan
- George Brett Sh*ts Himself
Thanks, Internet, for unearthing this actual archival footage from a Kansas City Royals spring-training workout: The Hall of Fame infielder regales his team with a story about pooping his pants. In butt-clenchingly vivid detail.
- The Onion
Louis CK charged fans five bucks for a live-performance he produced himself. It grossed $1.34 million in ten days.
- Super-Sincere, Super-Demented R&B
There is a universe in which "Let Me Smang It," "Smell Yo Dick," and "Chocolate Rain" were more popular than any Justin Bieber song ever was. It's a universe with a lot of problems, admittedly, but Mumford and Sons isn't one of them.
- "George Washington"
Brad Neely's jarringly catchy song is very educational, insofar as the lyrics "Ate opponents' brains/and invented cocaine" and "had two sets of testicles" are educational. It's the funniest way to fail AP U.S. History.
- "Dick in a Box"
The ultimate one-gift guide.
41-44. Will Ferrell
Movies and TV could never contain Will Ferrell. Watch Talladega Nights and you can tell that what made it onscreen represented roughly .0001% of Ferrell's ideas. Ferrell is a riffer—someone who can and will fire off every possible batshit insane idea he can. He is a perpetual comedy machine. Confining him to a mere 98 minutes seems downright cruel, frankly.
This is why Ferrell was such a perfect match for the Internet. More than any other comedian, Ferrell saw that the Internet could not only serve as a home to his craziest ideas, but that those ideas could end up becoming some of the most impressive work he's ever done. Without the Internet, you never get "The Landlady." You never get Ferrell going to Davenport, Iowa to shoot a random-as-shit 30-second spot for Old Milwaukee. Ferrell saw that the Internet can make any good idea work. There's no ratings board to worry about, no editor forcing you to pick one joke from the eight hours of footage you shot. That may not be a good thing for less talented comedians. But for Ferrell, it's everything.
The Landlord_ (2007)_
The video of Ferrell vs. a profile toddler birthed Funny or Die.
Dubya_ (2001-2009)_
Ferrell's Bush was marginally more childlike and infinitely funnier than the real thing.
Old Milwaukee Super Bowl Ads_ (2012)_
He does the commercials for free, they are insane, and they only air in tiny midwestern markets.
Drunk History_ (2010)_
Ferrell's second-best presidential impression is still better than Daniel Day-Lewis's.

Celebrity Endorsed!
Joel McHale, Community
"Mr. Colin Hanks (name drop) changed my life by tweeting a link to the web series, Guy On A Buffalo. The band Possum Posse created it and does the music, the lyrics of which illustrate and heighten the absurd footage from the original movie Buffalo Rider from 1978. There's an actual cougar attack. It's looks like they threw a cougar from off camera at the guy. This makes me happy to be alive in this day and age."
47-49. 15 Years of Celebrity Sex Tapes
Match the dialogue to the star of the "leaked" porn:
a) "You're awesome."
b) "Not only did I get a Dirty Sanchez in, which we all know is worth at least fifteen points..."
c) "It's Wednesday!—The Standard! It sucks, whatever, but it'll be fun."
d) "We need to get me preggos!"
**Highlight for the Answers: **
a) Hulk Hogan, b) Screech c) Paris Hilton, d) Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson
- G.I. Joe PSAs
If you're lucky, from time to time, people you know will just walk around absentmindedly uttering the phrases,"porkchop sandwiches" and "Hey kid, I'm a computer" and "Memememememememe." Hearing them may not even make you laugh at this point, but they still instantly trigger a subtle, strange euphoria.
Like a lot of funny stuff on the Internet, the G.I. Joe PSAs happened pretty much accidentally. Eric Fensler bought a DVD of a G.I. Joe animated movie and found the 25 original PSAs tacked onto the end of it more entertaining than the film itself. So he started fucking with them, adding his own surreal storylines and all that's left is a canvas of bucolic 1980s suburbia where every citizen apparently ingests bushels of 'shrooms every fucking morning. The kids in Fensler's universe are innocent rubes who are still prone to trouble. They want to "launch over" downed wires on their bikes, fry shit when their parents aren't home, and slide across thin ice. But all of the adults have been recast as muscular, flamboyant Village People who randomly offer children body massages and compliments on outfits, or they are outsized pricks issuing impossible to follow orders—think of the Scottish guy who scolds the kids trying to save their friend who wiped out on a frozen pond: "Give him the stick...Don't give him the stick."
The result is that upon first viewing, at least, you have no idea what anyone is going to say or do. The beauty of it, or anything on the Internet, really, is that it can become whatever it wants to be—no matter what it was before.
- Acting With James Franco (2008)
Some actors spend years in training, but for GQ cover boy Dave Franco, all he needed to make it to the big time was a few tips from big brother James. In this Funny or Die series, James Franco teaches the finer points of sense memory, green screen acting, scene work, and how to masturbate with a bar of soap. When you get a tip like, "Just rub the jacket against your face and smell it" you know the Internet is giving you your money's worth.
- Yacht Rock (2005)
A richly detailed and totally ridiculous alternate history of 1970s smooth music, in which Michael McDonald has all the answers, Kenny Loggins is a golden god, Donald Fagen speaks a language only Steely Dan bandmate Walter Becker understands, and Christopher Cross acts uncool. Basically a documentary, but not.

One subreddit worth subscribing to is r/fifthworldproblems. It's inter-dimensional alien lifeforms complaining about petty inter-dimensional alien things. It's one of my favorites, and the humor is a high Nth degree of nerd."
- Dr. Steve Brule (2010)
A slurring John C. Reilly dispenses wisdom as the alternately jovial and antagonistic Dr. Steve Brule. People who don't already follow his advice are always "dummies" and sometimes wasabi, in Steve's mind at least, is guacamole.
- "I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch" (2005)
It's a simple premise: redubbing an episode of the '90s X-Men cartoon as an epic battle between frenemy pimps and smack-talking hos. The key line here is, of course, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch," repeatedly spoken by the man himself as he's accosted by the most random attackers in the Marvel universe. It's a ludicrous script, and it is hilarious every time (except in the terrible X-Men: The Last Stand, which jacks the classic line). Also, the re-imagining forces you to really consider what's going on in each scene, how without the words, every superhero showdown is essentially a turf war fought by men in S&M suits. Realizing we watched this shit as kids makes it that much funnier. Thank you, Internet, for helping us discover the truth.
- High Maintenance (2012)
An incredibly well-acted web series about an NYC weed delivery guy as he encounters hapless, sometimes D-baggy customers.
- Bestie x Bestie (2010)
Comedians Jenny Slate and Gabe Liedman bond over stuff, like why they hate books.
- Real Ultimate Power (2002)
The first website to give ninjas and people who love ninjas the respect and love that they have earned.
- Man Can't Stop Laughing After Hip Surgery (2012)
**Celebrity Endorsed! **
Michael Cera, Arrested Development
"I think the reason I love it so much is because it gives a perfectly crystallized glimpse into this couple's world, in only a few minutes, and their dynamic is hilariously, incessantly charming. You understand so much about their emotional lives immediately."
- Orson Welles Outtakes
The master's greatest work? These cutting-room scraps from his late-'70s ads for Paul Masson champagne, in which Orson's slurring, grandiose tribute to the wine bespeaks a method-actorly (read: champagne-guzzling) approach to the role.
- Winnebago Man (1988)
A refugee from the pre-Internet, when videos of mustachioed men having a shitty time filming an RV promotional video were traded on VHS.
- You're the Man Now Dog (2001-present)
All things GIF-ed or Meme-d owe everything they have to YTMND, a site founded on a single Sean Connery line from Finding Forrester. YTMND did weird Twitter before weird Twitter was weird Twitter.
- Why Do You Think You Are Nuts? (1983)
The band Penny Magic Show—or, anyway, three middle-aged women dressed in costumes best described as Power Ranger administrative assistant strippers—performed their song "The Shrink" on Santa Monica public access back in 1983.
- Shreds (2008)
A Finnish dude, Santeri Ojala, replaces the audio on metal guitar solo vids by Van Halen, Judas Priest, etc. with something that sounds like a band of elderly clowns un-tuning their instruments in a haunted tunnel.
- Ze Frank (2001)

- Drive Thru with No One in Drivers Seat (2013)
A simple, well-ecuted prank makes fast-food workers lose their shit.
- K-Strass (2010)
Mark Proksch, who's appeared on The Office, makes a string of appearances on local Wisconsin news shows as yo-yo master Kenny Strasser—except, instead of talking about yo-yos, he brings up his divorces and takes on-air phone calls from his sick father.
- Marilyn Haggerty Reviews the Olive Garden (2012)
The Grand Forks Herald restaurant critic reviews the Olive Garden, "the largest and most beautiful restaurant now operating' in town. Wheels within wheels, here, and possibly the most epic Minnesota Nice troll of all time.
- The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Daniel Snyder (2010)
Dave McKenna's satirical savaging of an unloved pro sports owner is funny, because prickly billionaire jerk weeds are seldom subjected to the comprehensive A-Z pwning that Redskins owner Daniel Snyder received here. It's sad, because Snyder still owns the Skins.
- Fire Joe Morgan (2005-2008)
Anyone, or anyone tough enough to finish a Bill Plaschke column, can rage-shred crappy sportswriting. Parks and Recreation creator Michael Schur and the FJM Posse elevated it to an art—perhaps the highest achievement in sportswriting—even if Morgan retired under his own power.
- 'I Like Turtles' (2007)
A local newscaster asks Jonathan about his zombie facepaint for Halloween. Jonathan answers 'I like turtles.' Jonathan becomes a legend. Basically the Internet in miniature.
- Ebaum's World (2001-present)
Before the web was filled with videos, you would go to eBaum's world and play with the soundboards.
- The Best Page in the Universe (1996-)
'The many opinions of an insulting pirate named Maddox.' He's been doing this sitesince before Clinton was reelected, basically an eon in web years.
- Homestar Runner (2000-2010)
A subtly satirical, relentlessly stoned Flash animation series about the adventures of the hapless, armless titular hero and his grumpy, boxing-gloved foil Strong Bad.
- Edward Fortyhands (2000)
A writer from Woonsocket, Rhode Island and his buddies duct tape 40s of malt liquor to their hands over Thanksgiving weekend. They're lucky YouTube wasn't around then.
- Will Sasso's Lemon Vines
No one has done more to elevate the form of the six-second video than former MAD TV staple Will Sasso. Sasso does with lemons what Monet did with bridges and water lilies.
- 'The Whistles Go Whoo Whoo!' (2006)
An Oakland man named Bubb Rubb paid for muffler inserts that (intentionally) make his Oldsmobile sound like a tuff teakettle. Area mom is unhappy about it. Local news is on the scene. #OAKLAND
- Getting Caught Masturbating in the Library (2006)
'You just reached out and grabbed yourself and started having sex,' Cleveland investigative reporter Carl Monday asked twenty-something public library dweller Mike Cooper, in this news clip gone viral. Cooper had, but the joke ultimately was on Monday, a self-satisfied Dan Rather-on-Lake Erie-type whose tenaciousness was upbraided by The Daily Show and pretty much anyone who's ever jerked off.
- Sweet Brown: 'Ain't Nobody Got Time for That! (2012)
Sweet Brown, an Oklahoma woman, escapes a house fire and gets bronchitis in the process. Her reaction ('Ain't nobody got time for that') was, of course looped, autotuned, and turned into a song that generated 33 million views on YouTube.
- Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama (2006)
There was no leprechaun sighting in Alabama around St. Patrick's Day in 2006, one hilariously basic witness sketch and local TV coverage notwithstanding. Still, these three perfect minutes of local news brilliance exist nonetheless. It's beautiful: an in-joke that seemingly everyone in the Mobile neighborhood of Crichton is in on, and finds hilarious.
(Bonus: the inevitable musical remix of the story is great)
- Antonie Dodson (2010)
A TV news report of an Alabama a woman and her 24 year-old brother (Antoine, often described as flamboyant) thwarting a would-be rapist at their apartment in the projects went bonkers on the web. By the end of the year, the auto-tuned musical version of the interview was YouTube's most watched non-music video.
- The Christmas Tree (2006)
John Roberts (not the Chief Justice) can now be heard on Bob's Burgers, Archer, and elsewhere, but in 2006 he put out this video of a Long Island woman going apeshit about her Christmas Tree.
- Icy Hot Stuntaz (2001)
In 2001, three horribly tragic white teens from Georgia were known as the Icy Hot Stuntaz, who believed they were untouchable rappers. The world did not agree, but loved sharing their story.
- The Xtacles (2008)
Quite possibly the dumbest team of animated superheroes, Adult Swim's The Xtacles' high water mark centers around their misunderstanding an ape who wields a rapier.
- Clients from Hell
Anyone who's ever worked freelance will appreciate the beauty that is Clients From Hell, a site that asks the question, "Can you just match it to the blue of the sky?"
- Shit Girls Say (2011)
The first Shit Girls Say video is pretty hilarious. The 46,004 videos
it spawned has taken away some of its impact.
- FudsMenu
A baffling menu—"Thick Crust Stringer Chunks," "Polished Windhog,"
"Bill Clinton Sandwich"—was distributed to people leaving the Brooklyn food-hipster nightmare-fest Great GoogaMooga, then became a sensation online.
- All Your Base Are Belong to Us (1998)
All Your Base Are Belong to Us is the syntactically unusual adventure story and Internet original that taught a generation to WTF.
- Thirstiest Men of Instagram
Instagram offers a wide array of sexy, duckface yoga-pants/thong-centric lady-selfies and provides room for comments, for better or worse. This wince-inducing compilation of those comments—shout out to the fancy-talker who commented "I just jizzled up in my trousers" under a photo of Wayne Gretzky's daughter—suggest that someone should maybe reconsider that offer.
- Billy on the Street
Before Billy Eichner was conducting obnoxious interviews on the street on TV, he was obnoxious on the street on the web, issuing "Fuck You"s to strange old women who couldn't afford Madonna tickets.
- _Mrs. Doubtfire _Recut as a Horror Movie (2012)
The horror was already pretty close to the surface in Mrs. Doubtfire,
but this trailer—which re-cuts the Robin Williams comedy into Psycho with a Maggie Thatcher (RIP) accent and fake latex boobs—really draws it out.
- Scarfolk (2012-present)
On his blog, graphic designer Richard Littler tells the story of Scarfolk, a warped English town, via posters, tattered book covers, and old pamphlets about the many oppressive health initiatives—like brain washing, rabies prevention, and warnings about the dangers of Christmas.
- Epic Meal Time (2010)
Self-aware Canadian bros host Epic Meal Time, a cooking show where main ingredients are booze, bacon, and sundry foodstuffs procured from drive-thru windows at fast-food joints.

Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell's obsession with all things sloth reached a fever pitch, thanks to a very good boyfriend. Just watch.
- Game Show Brain Fart: Self Potato (2009)
The answer to the Wheel of Fortune puzzle was "Self-Portrait." The
answer that an instantly chagrined Lolita McAuley gave was "Self Potato." Not what Pat and Vanna were looking for; exactly what the Internet was looking for.
- Weapons of Mass Destruction (2003)
If you Googled "Weapons of Mass Destruction" back in early 2003 and hit the I'm Feeling Lucky button, a British dude gamed it so the result landed on his bespoke 404 page filled with quaint jokes about what we all came to realize was pure catastrophe. Funny, but in the laughing-not-to-cry way.
Maybe it's the 19th century-ish artisan doodadery of the McSweeney's journals or maybe it's just him, but David Eggers has never seemed like an internet person. This makes it all the more surprising that, during the earliest years of the last decade, his Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency was one of the best, funniest and most prescient things on the web.
Even by the throw-an-Under-Construction-GIF-on-it standards of that Angelfire-y age, the site was plain—no pictures to speak of, just artfully font-ed black letters on a capacious white page—and not overly concerned with enticements of any kind. It was an unpainted nesting doll of what seemed like in-jokes and arch abstraction. Seemed like, that is, but wasn't: for all the preciousness of the presentation, the glory days of McSweeney's—which included the fully batshit and totally seminal Weekly NFL Previews written by my co-author, Jeff Johnson—were defined by premium-grade silliness that both reflected and drew from what was then a smaller, goofier, more homespun internet. In a sense, the Eggers-ian seriousness of the presentation only heightened the effect: McSweeney's Internet Tendency looked like a fancified journal, but it sounded just like the internet.—David Roth
[Editor's Note: Jeff really, really wants you to know that he had nothing to do with this entry, and wishes we'd picked the John Moe letter to Axl Rose instead.]

- E-mails from an Asshole
John Lindsay is the American equivalent of David Thorne, working in the trusted old medium of e-mail. On Don't Even Reply, Lindsay trawls (for our benefit) tons of online ads, just waiting for a chance to slowly troll some poor sap who is offering or in need of service, like a guy who gambled away $1200 in Atlantic City and needed a fake invoice from an auto shop. Lindsay enjoys annoying strangers so much, he got a book out of it.

If you don't believe in God now, you may change your mind later.
Older people are more likely to believe in God, researchers from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center have discovered. Their study, which examined survey data from around the world, suggests that belief in God grows with age, as people approach their twilight years, Reuters reports.
"Looking at differences among age groups, the largest increases in belief in God most likely occur among those 58 years of age and older. This suggests that belief in God is especially likely to increase among the oldest groups, perhaps in response to the increasing anticipation of mortality," the news agency quotes researcher Tom Smith as saying.
On average, 43 per cent of survey respondents who were 68 years and older said they were certain God exists. Among a younger cohort, aged 27 and under, an average of only 23 per cent said they firmly believed God exists. The data came from 30 countries, including Australia, Japan, the Czech Republic and Norway, surveyed in 1991, 1998 and 2008.
Participants were asked about how their beliefs changed over their lifetimes and about their attitudes toward God.
Mr. Smith noted that while belief in God had decreased over the past two decades, those declines were modest, Reuters reports.
In Canada, even though people's interest in religion has declined since the 1970s, it doesn't necessarily mean they've stopped believing in a higher power. Some statistics show up to 80 per cent of Canadians say they believe in God.
This is clearly biased towards monotheism, but I think similar parallels exist in Buddhist cultures as well. The majority of active participants in Buddhist temples in the countries I've been to tend to be middle aged and up. In Taiwan the machinery of Buddhist organizations are run by older laywomen. In Ladakh, India and here in Nepal the major pujas at gonpas all seem primarily attended by older generations. Young people don't show much interest in such things.

Lining Your Knitted Bag, Part I
Knitting Needle Knitting Bag
The comments from Monday's post on knitting bags were a hoot! I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone in my knitting bag addiction. Bagaholics, bag ladies, and bag pigs (thank you, Merna S.!), unite! And what can we bag geeks say to Ms. Eliza, our friend who has never used a knitting bag and asks what she has been missing? Perhaps just this: Try a knitting bag. Any bag. You'll never look back.
If you'd like some suggestions as to what to use for a knitting bag: Read through the comments. The options range from cute to exotic, clever to practical: baby diaper totes (Katie F. and others), gift bags, drawstring bags, lined baskets, bowling bags (Elsa X.), children's suitcases (Donovan B.), plastic zippered bags that curtains and sheets are sold in, briefcases, bank deposit zippered bags, and metal lunchboxes (Laura L. and others), to name just a few favorites.
Thanks to you all, I now have an advanced case of Bag Lust. (I shall attempt to stay away from stores during this flare-up of my addiction. My husband thanks you for supporting me in this endeavor. However, I don't think he'd mind if I were to just get out some pink yarn and cast on for the Knitting Needle Knitting Bag. Surely not.)
One insightful comment came from Cagey44, who says she needs "Time-Out Bags for Bad Knitting to sit and contemplate its ways while I am working on its brethren." I agree: Sometimes a time-out works wonders for my troublesome knitting, too!
I leave you with a final hilarious tip from Brenda S.: "It wouldn't be a knitting bag without a corkscrew."
The INSIDE of the Ms. Poppins' Bag
Bag-Lining Strategies
Rosie W. said: "I'm sorely tempted to knit this bag (despite my UFO count being in double digits too) but I would want a lining, and I don't sew, or have a sewing machine, so that may keep me safe."
Rosie, I am about to take you right out of the Safe Zone, sorry about that. Like you, not every knitter has a sewing machine, and not everyone enjoys extended bouts of hand-sewing. What if I told you there were ways to line your knitted bags without a sewing machine, and without a lot of hand-stitching? (Of course, you can use a sewing machine if you like…)
Alternative ideas for attaching linings:
Buttons: If you have large enough "holes" in your knitted fabric, consider using buttons to attach a lining. Sew the buttons onto the WRONG side of the lining, the side that will face your knitted fabric. Put the lining inside the bag, and gently push the buttons through to the outside of the bag. Use little buttons or big ones; sew the buttons in a line along the top of the bag for a classic look…or put them randomly all over for a fun and funky touch.
Creative Stitchery: Use a matching (or contrasting!) yarn or embroidery floss and simple, slightly oversized stitches to sew through both layers of lining and knitting. Some easy stitches that will give great results are blanket stitch, whipstitch, running stitch, and backstitch. I used running stitches to attach a purchased linen napkin to the inside of the Ms. Poppins' Bag (see photo).
The OUTSIDE of Ms. Poppins' Bag
Snaps: Like a buttoned-in lining, a snap-in lining has the advantage of being removable and thus washable. However, the snaps won't show on the outside like buttons will.
Hot Glue Gunnery: I have never tried this, but a friend of mine swears by using a hot glue gun to attach linings to the inside of her bags. Anyone out there brave enough to try this?
Notice that I am not recommending Velcro, even though it seems like a logical choice. If you are making a knitted handbag that will not be carrying yarn, then Velcro might work beautifully. However, Velcro eats yarn, so don't use it in your knitted knitting bags!
Friday, we'll talk about creative, durable materials you can use for the lining fabric itself. (You might be surprised to know that you don't need to have a fabric store nearby for most of these ideas.)
Sandi Wiseheart is the editor of Knitting Daily.
What's on Sandi's needles? I'm finishing up a pair of Evelyn Clark's Waving Lace Socks for a friend whilst awaiting the fate of the yarn for Nicholas' cabled pullover.

Zeenews Bureau
Male: Dealing another blow to infrastructure firm GMR's hopes, a Singapore court on Thursday ruled that the Maldives Government can take back the Male International Airport from the private firm.
Maldives President`s Press Secretary Masood Imad said, "Singapore Court of Appeal has ruled that Maldives government has authority to take back the airport from GMR."
"Maldives will go ahead with the transfer as scheduled," Imad added.
Maldives had in a surprise move on November 27 terminated the over USD 500 million contract awarded to GMR during the previous regime of Mohamed Nasheed to upgrade its Male airport and to build a new terminal.
The government had said it was terminating the contract because it was signed under "dubious conditions" and was void, a charge hotly contested by the infrastructure major.
Following the termination, GMR had approached the Singapore High Court which had stayed the scrapping of contract. However, the Maldives government remained defiant and asserted that it would take over the airport from GMR on Saturday, a day after the notice period ends.
After today`s ruling, Imad told PTI, "We are not doing anything against the law. We are just following the law. Now, even the Singapore court has given us the permission to go ahead".
As per the project contract, in case of any differences between parties, the law of either Singapore or UK would apply.
Taken by "surprise" over the GMR issue, India had conveyed to Maldives that the move will have serious consequences on the bilateral ties as it is considering a "series of options", including slowing down cooperative programmes, if legal course is not followed.
India acknowledges that the Maldivian government`s decision to cancel GMR`s contract for building Male airport is a domestic issue but it is upset over "anti-India sentiment being whipped up" in connection with the issue there.
Sources said the possibility of some external forces playing a role in the cancellation of the airport contract cannot be ruled out, even though there was no clear evidence of Chinese angle so far.

The Nikon D5100 was a solid workhorse that catered well to the photographer wanting something a little more than just an entry-level camera. Its follow-up, the D5200, continues to improve on an already-strong package by adding a few more usable features and continuing to deliver excellent images.
Design and features
In terms of design, the D5200 does not deviate too much from previous Nikon SLRs of this class, and houses all buttons and controls within easy and logical reach. The mode dial at the top of the camera gives access to full program, aperture, shutter and manual modes, while also making it easy for photography newcomers to pick up, thanks to a range of preset modes such as portrait and landscape.
Specific scene modes grab their own notch on the dial, while filters for images can be found under "Effects". All the standard options are available, such as miniature effect, selective colour, silhouette, high key and low key. There's a built-in HDR mode as well; however, it only takes two exposures and stitches them together, which doesn't really deliver the same sort of effect as a manually derived HDR photo.

The D5200 comes with a 3-inch rotating 921,000-dot LCD screen that can pivot out from the side of the camera, making it useful for photographers who like to shoot from different angles. Graphics have had a bit of an overhaul, too. When shooting using the viewfinder, the screen can display exposure information with a series of three circles representing shutter speed, aperture and ISO. When adjusting the settings, the dials on-screen turn accordingly, which is a nice touch. There is no sensor that turns the screen off automatically when lifting your eye to the viewfinder, though.
Photographers who prefer to compose using Live View can easily flick this feature on and off, thanks to the dedicated switch underneath the mode dial.
Rather impressively, Nikon has equipped the camera with a 39-point AF system and nine cross-type sensors at the centre. The AF overlays in the viewfinder have also been improved and enlarged, which makes it easier to see what the camera has picked as its focus point.
As is the case with other Nikon SLRs released in 2012, video shooters will not feel left behind, with a range of features catered to movie recording. The D5200 can shoot at 1080p or 1080i, at 30/25/24fps and 60/50fps in each respective setting. A stereo microphone that sits just in front of the hotshoe will ensure in-camera audio recording is improved over the D5100, though photographers also get access to a 3.5mm microphone jack, as well.
The D5200 is compatible with two devices for remote shooting: the WR-R10 transceiver and WR-T10 transmitter. They allow functionality such as half pressing the remote button for autofocus, movie recording, continuous shooting and quiet release mode. Wireless connectivity is not built in, unfortunately, but it is accessible using the optional WU-1a wireless mobile adapter that lets photographers share photos and videos across Android or iOS devices. The D5200 supports both SDXC and UHS-I cards.
Though it won't trouble the majority of users, the D5200 does not have a built-in AF motor, meaning only AF-S lenses will autofocus on the body. This is the same as all other Nikon cameras of this class. While not a major issue, it is worth flagging for anyone who expects to be able to use old glass on the camera and have autofocus abilities.
Like several other Nikon models, the D5200 comes with a built-in intervalometer for easy access to time-lapse photography.
One interface quirk that might frustrate some photographers is the lack of a dedicated ISO button. When shooting in manual modes, to change the ISO setting you need to press the "i" button to switch through options.

Autofocus performance is very good on the D5200, with the camera responding well to a range of general shooting situations from fast-moving subjects to static objects. It's not lightning quick, but definitely fast enough for most photographers — and, more importantly, accurate. Low light does increase the time it takes to grab focus.
