https://www.geeksaresexy.net/2016/07/21/vhs-rip/The last VHS recorder may be produced in the next few days. It comes only a few months after Betamax finally bit the dust.
The Nikkei newspaper reports that Funai Electric Company will cease production this month. While the report states that Funai was the only Japanese company making VCRs, it appears it may also have been the only company doing so anywhere.

That tiger mauling at the China zoo makes me very sad. Mainly because the idiot who initially got out of the car wasn't the one killed, it was her mother who fought to save her. Saw a report that had the woman initially getting out of the car after fighting with her husband.

Re: Not worthy of a thread News
Internet comment section fun:
America needs President Trump today!!! We the People are going to come out in droves and elect Donald J.Trump by a landslide; there will be no contesting our votes, we will not let them steal our future. You unclean Clinton birds and your evil globalist cohorts won't be feathering your nests at our expense any more!...America is speaking loud and clear...CAN YOU HEAR US NOW??? As a follower of Jesus, I believe Donald J. Trump is an answer to prayer for this once great nation and he just might be a temporary reprieve from God’s judgment that we so rightly deserve and which looms so ominously on the horizon. Just like with Belteshazzar, the handwriting is on the wall, America has been weighed in the balance and found wanting...the enemy is at the gate but the Word of God says that if we humble ourselves through fasting and prayer, He will hear us and He will heal our land...I believe Mr. Trump is His answer to heal our land...He is clearly fighting back against the forces that be that are doing everything in their power to bring about chaos in our nation that will lead to the New World Order global government which is the Beast System of Revelation . He will fight for us, I believe that...he knows most of these devils personally and knows more than we do about them. He knows the republicans and demoncrats are just two heads on the same old serpent and anyone that they put forth is just a puppet on the strings of satan himself. He knows we are one election away from not even being a sovereign nation any more. Further, I think, he, and every other thinking man, knows that we are living in the last days and Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. I am sure he feels the weight of that responsibility. True Americans don't care about the republican or demoncratic party...the establishment is the problem and America is voting against IT... I don’t care what label the establishment puts on him, I just know he is an angry American just like the rest of us, and rightly so. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!! I just know we truly are on the verge of losing everything our forefathers shed their blood for and if there is one chance to save it, I think Mr. Trump is that chance. People don't like his tone, he's not politically correct, he doesn't tip toe around the issues because he might step on sensitive toes...Well I like what Pastor Robert Jeffress said, I don't care about his tone, I don't care that he uses profanity, a lot of good men do...I just want a mean son of a gun that's not afraid to stand up to the evil onslaught that threatens our nation, our sovereignty and our future....I like that he's never been a member of some elite secret society, I like that he's never been to Bohemian Grove...I like that he's never been a member of the CFR or Trilateral Commission, he's never been to a Bilderberger meeting...he's not an initiate into the good ole boys club, and that's why they hate him and that's why We the People support him...Those of us paying attention, see the physical, mental, spiritual and economic rape of Europe that's going on, by design, and no one is doing anything except opening the flood gates further to implode Europe, and these savages will do the same thing to America if given the chance, they have no intentions of assimilating into the culture, they have one goal and that is to set up a worldwide caliphate and kill the infidel, which is us ...shut the door and build a wall, a very high wall. If they come here, they must be thoroughly and properly vetted or they must stay out. I have had many people ask me how I, as a Christian woman, could support Mr. Trump; you've called him evil and arrogant and a liar, an adulterer, you’ve said that he has flip flopped on abortion and other issues. I believe the Doctrine of GRACE. For everyone who questions whether or not Donald Trump is a Christian because he says he has never asked for forgiveness, I say to you, consider the thief on the Cross...he never repented, he never asked for forgiveness, he simply said, Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom...all he did was believe that Jesus was Lord... Some of you even say he is the antichrist (as a side note: the current liar in chief fits this bill far more succinctly...if he rides off into the sunset and golfs happily ever after, he was just another globalist puppet, but, if he steps onto the world stage, especially as Secretary General of the UN, well I will be watching him intently and you should as well)... The Word says Salvation comes when we believe and receive Him as Lord...the rest comes in the sanctification process...I see Mr. Trump as a baby Christian that needs our prayer and support...the man stood on the world stage and said to the entire world, I am a proud Christian, in a world that hates Christians, after the pope said he wasn't a Christian...that speaks volumes to me. He has a lot to learn about being a good Christian, but as president of the United States, I guarantee you, the Lord will drive him to his knees when it is time. In the Word, time after time, the Lord has used imperfect men to achieve His end...you see, Moses, Paul and David were all murderers...Paul murdered hundreds if not thousands of Christians, yet the Lord used them in mighty ways...or, consider Cyrus, he was a pagan Persian King who God used to release the Israelites out of Babylonian captivity and even helped them to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. ...right now, our country needs a Chief Executive Officer and a born leader, not a Pastor...we have enough of those and most are evil wolves in sheep's clothing... to these naysayers, these Pharisees, I say, put your stones back in your pocket, not one of us is perfect, we all have need for improvement in every area of our lives... I do believe that he is a Christian, as imperfect as he is, and I pray for him that he recognize that we are all sinners in need of a savior, we all fall short of the Glory of God and we must all get on our knees before Him in repentance and ask forgiveness and direction for our life...I pray every day that Donald Trump see and understand this and I believe that he will. If you had asked me 20 years ago, I would have said I was a Christian...I knew nothing about being a Christian, I was a baby in the Lord, just like Mr. Trump... Well, since then, I have grown in the Lord, I am no longer a progressive liberal, I am a conservative Christian, and that came with growth and maturity and wisdom from the Holy Spirit, so you see, a person’s politics and beliefs can radically change over time, Mr. Trump's obviously have...I believe in the Lord's promise to us that He, Who has begun a good work in us, will complete it until the coming of the Day of Christ...I believe that for me and I believe that for Mr. Trump...I believe he is a good man and a great leader and will change our country for the better and give us a nation to hand down to our children and grandchildren. He is giving us a voice that we thought was long dead...he is not a perfect Christian, but, in an evil world where true Christians are being marginalized and persecuted and shut up more and more every day, I believe he will fight to make sure we are all free to worship as we choose, without persecution...that's why I choose him. Finally, the Word of God tells us to pray for our leaders…Mr. Trump is not our President yet, but he is our Leader, and we need to pray for him and his family, pray for their safety, because they are in danger. Mr. Trump is telling too much truth and they don’t like it at all…Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus...I had a wide awake, open vision of the Lord's return in 1976 when I was 13 years old. This July will be 40 years since that date... Thank you for taking time to view and share...the hour is late, the harvest is great, but the laborers are few

Re: Not worthy of a thread News
The shade of it all: the head of the Missouri's public defender's office is allowed, by state law, to assign any lawyer in the state to a case for which the defendant can't afford counsel. He feels like the governor, Jay Nixon, hasn't done enough to support the office and that poor people in Missouri are suffering due to poor representation, so he's assigned a case to...the governor.
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/stat ... 1720f.htmlFed up with what he says is the governor’s failure to properly fund his overwhelmed office, the state’s lead public defender ordered Gov. Jay Nixon this week to represent a poor person in Cole County this month.
Michael Barrett said he was using a provision of state law that allows him in extraordinary circumstances to delegate legal representation “to any member of the state bar of Missouri.” He’s starting with the state’s highest-profile lawyer: Nixon.
Barrett says the governor has repeatedly declined to give the public defender system the money it requests and is withholding promised funding increases this year.
“Providing counsel to poor people who face incarceration is the obligation of the state. It’s not fair to go after private attorneys who are trying to pay the rent when they had nothing to do with contributing to this,” Barrett said in an interview Wednesday.
Barrett never exercised this power before because he thought it was wrong to place the burden of public cases on private attorneys “who have in no way contributed to the current crisis,” he wrote in a letter to the governor dated Tuesday.
“However, given the extraordinary circumstances that compel me to entertain any and all avenues for relief, it strikes me that I should begin with the one attorney in the state who not only created this problem, but is in a unique position to address it,” Barrett wrote, referring to Nixon, a Democrat who was a four-term attorney general before becoming governor.
Studies have found that the Missouri Public Defender System lacks the resources or staff to serve the state’s neediest. The system has struggled with high caseloads, high turnover, low salaries and tired, overworked attorneys for years.
The Missouri constitution allows the director of the public defender system to assign cases to any lawyer in the state, regardless of whether the lawyer is a public defender, Barrett said.
Just this June, the legislature granted the public defender system a $4.5 million increase, which would’ve helped in hiring 10 more employees and some private attorneys on a contractual basis. The office currently employs more than 370 attorneys. Officials with the public defender’s office had asked for a $23.1 million boost, while Nixon recommended a $1 million increase.
Last month, Barrett and the Missouri State Public Defender Commission filed a lawsuit claiming that Nixon withheld $3.5 million of that $4.5 million increase. Barrett claims Nixon is targeting the public defender system for budget cuts while leaving more money for other programs he likes.
Nixon’s office could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday night.
A 2014 study found that the state’s public defender system needs almost 270 more attorneys to meet its current case volume, which fluctuates between 70,000 and 100,000 cases every year. In 2009, Missouri’s was the second-lowest-funded public defender system in the country.
Now, Barrett says that he has even fewer lawyers than when that study was done. He’s lost 30 lawyers because he doesn’t have the money to hire replacements as employees leave for private law firms.
Meanwhile, the system’s caseload has gone up 12 percent over the past year to about 82,000 cases, Barrett said. Each of his lawyers has to handle 125 to more than 200 cases at a time.
“The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division says, ‘It’s so dire.’ Everyone says, ‘It’s so dire,’ ” Barrett said.

PLANT CITY, Fla. — A man who had recently been released from prison after serving time for a road rage killing has been shot and killed during another road rage encounter in Florida.
Col. Donna Luscynski of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office tells local media the incident occurred Wednesday morning in Plant City. She says 40-year-old Gary Lynn Durham stopped his pickup truck, got out and approached the motorist behind him. An argument escalated between the two.
Investigators say the car's driver, 42-year-old Robert Padgett, warned Durham before he pulled out a gun and shot him.
Paramedics arrived to find Padgett giving CPR to Durham, but Durham later died.
Durham had recently been released from prison for the 2001 killing of 48-year-old Timothy Gibbs in another road rage incident.
Luscynski says Padgett is cooperating with law enforcement and will not be arrested.
