Iraq vet uses rear naked choke to stop robbery

You walk into a store and see someone holding up the cashier. What do you do? If you're Zack Thome, an Iraq vet and someone who has trained in MMA, you slap a rear naked choke on the offender and choke him out.


Original Video- More videos at TinyPic

Thome held Brandon Slanger, the suspect who is said to be schizophrenic, down as someone else called the police. Thome said he lives near the store and didn't want to see the cashier hurt.

"It's kind of my hometown.? I live right next to the place, you know, I'm in there everyday.? I think if it was the other way around, if I worked there and the guy at the register was there, he would have done the same thing," said Thome.

Kudos to Thome for using his MMA training to good use. But unless you've actually trained, don't try this at home, folks. Watching every UFC pay-per-view doesn't count.

Gracias, Cage Potato.

Aide says Cheney had heart transplant

(AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Former Vice President Dick Cheney had a heart transplant Saturday, after five heart attacks over the past 25 years and countless medical procedures to keep him going. Cheney, 71, waited nearly two years for his new heart, the gift of an unknown donor.

An aide to Cheney disclosed the surgery after it was over, and said the ex-vice president was recovering at a Virginia hospital.

"Although the former vice president and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift," aide Kara Ahern said in a written statement that was authenticated by several of the Republican politician's close associates.

Cheney was recovering Saturday night at the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va., after surgery earlier in the day.

More than 3,100 Americans currently are on the national waiting list for a heart transplant. Just over 2,300 heart transplants were performed last year, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. And 330 people died while waiting.

According to UNOS, 332 people over age 65 received a heart transplant last year. The majority of transplants occur in 50- to 64-year-olds.

The odds of survival are good. More than 70 percent of heart transplant recipients live at least five years, although survival is a bit lower for people over age 65.

The former vice president suffered a heart attack in 2010, his fifth since the age of 37.

That same year, he had surgery to have a small pump installed to help his heart keep working.

Called a "left ventricular assist device," or LVAD, that device took over the job of the heart's main pumping chamber, powered by special batteries worn in a fanny pack. It helps a person live a fairly normal life while awaiting a heart transplant, although some people receive it as permanent therapy. It was one of the few steps left, short of a transplant, to stay alive in the face of what he acknowledged was "increasing congestive heart failure."

In January 2011, Cheney said he was getting by on the battery-powered heart pump, which made it "awkward to walk around." He also said he hadn't made a decision yet on a transplant, but that "the technology is getting better and better."

Cheney said then that he'd "have to make a decision at some point whether I want to go for a transplant."

By that point, Cheney had been dealing with cardiovascular problems for more than two decades.

In 1988, he had quadruple bypass surgery, two artery-clearing angioplasties and the operation to implant a pacemaker, a device that monitored his heartbeat.

In 2005, Cheney had six hours of surgery on his legs to repair a kind of aneurysm, and in March 2007, doctors discovered deep venous thrombosis in his left lower leg. An ultrasound a month later showed the clot was getting smaller.

In July 2007, he had had a minor surgical procedure to replace the pacemaker.

Cheney served as former President George W. Bush's vice president for eight years, from 2001 until 2009. Cheney was a lightning rod for criticism during Bush's presidency, accused by opponents of often advocating a belligerent U.S. stance in world affairs during wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, wished Cheney a "fast and full recovery" in a post on Twitter. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Romney's chief challenger, sent a written statement wishing Cheney and his family well and offering his thoughts and prayers.

Like 5 million other Americans, Cheney has had congestive heart failure, meaning his heart had become too weakened to pump properly. That can happen for a variety of reasons, but Cheney's was due to cumulative damage from his multiple heart attacks.

Heart failure kills 57,000 Americans a year and contributes to many more deaths.

Shortly after Cheney's surgery was disclosed, one prominent cardiologist ? Dr. Eric Topol of Scripps Health in La Jolla, Calif. ? raised the issue of whether someone so old should have received a new heart.

"The ethicists will get into this case," he wrote on Twitter.

Others disagreed.

"It is not too old. Age is really not a factor," said Dr. William Zoghbi of Methodist Hospital's DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center in Houston. He is incoming president of the American College of Cardiology, and he spoke from the group's annual conference in Chicago on Saturday.

Zoghbi said Cheney may even fare better than younger people whose immune systems more actively fight new organs, raising concern about rejection.

"I don't see any ethical issues here," Zoghbi said, because a transplant is clearly indicated for someone whose heart is as weak as Cheney's was.

A heart transplant is a race against time. Doctors look to the waiting list for the next qualified candidate who is a good match to the newly donated heart, which typically comes from an accident victim. The patient must get to the operating room quickly, as a newly donated heart stays fresh for only about four to six hours.

During a heart transplant, a mechanical pump keeps blood flowing through the body while surgeons remove the diseased heart ? and in Cheney's case, the previously implanted LVAD ? and connect the new one.

Patients must take immune-suppressing medication for life, to keep their body's immune system from attacking the new, foreign organ. They typically stay in the hospital for a week or two, and require intensive cardiac rehabilitation.

Military Maneuver Or Flyby Gone Awry? Dramatic Footage Of Afghan Chopper Crash

Dramatic video of a U.S. military helicopter crashing in Afghanistan is just now making the rounds online.

The video shows an AH-64 Apache helicopter swooping extremely low over an outpost in the snowy mountains of southeastern Paktika Province on February 6.

The website Military.com says the pilot was attempting a maneuver called a "return to target," although less military-savvy viewers would be forgiven for thinking that the pilot(s) are hot-dogging it for the delight of their buddies.

Laughter and a "Hell, yeah!" can be heard from the folks watching on the ground before the crash and then "Oh, God" and some other choice words after the impact.

Incredibly, officials of the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan say no one on the ground was injured (although how the man standing in the snow at :23 seconds managed to duck in time is beyond me) and that the helicopter crew survived the incident, which is under investigation.

The $20 million helicopter wasn't so lucky, I'm guessing.

Self Growth Tips for College Students

College is one of the most exciting phases of one?s life. If you wish to make the most of your campus experience and emerge a better person after those four years, then here are five excellent tips that can help you achieve self growth, develop the right attitude, rise to both academic and non-academic challenges, and still have plenty of fun along the way.

?

  1. Make friends. Close friends contribute to our self growth for they provide us with the moral support that is so critical to surviving the stressful life of college. Friends can lend a helping hand in a pinch like collecting your homework when you?re too sick to leave your dorm, teach you how to de-stress and help you cultivate the right attitude by pointing out to you your flaws and weaknesses. They can provide a listening ear when you need to vent and give you that sense of security that even when the whole world seems to be against you, you have them to back you up. And of course, having a social life outside academic life is always helpful ? college life should be fun too!

?

  1. It?s okay to miss home, but don?t dwell on it too long. Freshmen are normally apprehensive during the first few days of being away from home and that?s understandable. Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding yourself on your own in a large campus without your parents to hold your hand can be nerve-wracking. However, rather than dwelling on your misery, why not see this new phase in your life as an opportunity for self growth and developing the right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of post-graduation life, particularly when you join the work force? This is your chance to prove your family back home that they raised you well!

?

  1. Join a club or organization. Special-interest clubs or organizations are great for self growth. Not only do you get the opportunity to mingle with like-minded people, you can also discover more things about your field of interest. Club meetings usually include lively discussions, so go in there with the right attitude and be prepared to debate, parry and postulate on your favorite topics. Don?t get too cocky, though; if there is one thing people detest, it?s a know-it-all-type of person who tries to lord over the discussions. Build a good name in the organization by being respectful, active, prompt and considerate to others.

?

  1. Respect your professors. You might not like all of them, but your professors are there to impart knowledge that you need to be successful in your chosen field. So show up for each class with the right attitude and determination to learn. Listen, take down notes, ask questions when you need clarification, ask for advice on that paper you?re struggling with. Your relationship with your professors have a huge impact on your self growth as they are a measure of how well you can respect authority and abide by requirements. This mindset will serve you very well when you start establishing a career in the corporate world.

?

  1. Be an active participant in class. Actively participating in a class debate or lecture contributes to your self growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and hones your communication skills to help you become more articulate. It also helps you cultivate the right attitude by exercising diplomacy when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue and exercising patience when dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas. Plus being an active student during lectures wins you brownie points in the eyes of professors who can serve as future reference when you apply for further study grants or apply at another school for advanced degrees later in life.

You will make mistakes as you journey from freshman to senior year, but that?s okay. Just learn from the errors of your ways, strive to do better and always look to the future. Good luck and have fun building happy memories.

A Few Cooking Tips For Newbies | Gourmet Culinaire and Cuisine

As straightforward as it would sound, you might turn your whole cooking style around with two cooking tips. Cooking ideas can aid in making preparing dishes way easier and side step the various obstacles in cooking. Ideas can make a larger difference than experience, patience, and information mixed in making you seem like a master cook. Many of us put a large amount of religion in experience, patience, and data in cooking, but you will be stunned at how much difference some recommendations can make.

Always buy fresh is rule number one in getting great tasting food. It?s crucial to check each item in the greengrocer or produce market to insure that it is as fresh or as ripe as you should purchase. Packed foods can be judged by an expiry date, whilst fruits and veg must be looked at individually.It?s also a smart idea to familiarize yourself with general produce and the art of spotting top spec produce in your local supermarket.It is also vital to makes sure your beef purchases of meat, chickens, or fish, are fresh too. When working with beef, always keep frozen until you are prepared to be used, and always wash your implements with water and soap.

All meals that include beef should be cooked all of the way thru and to a safe cooking temperature. Ensure that you cook your meats to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.And employ a cooking thermometer to test this. Similarly , if you are cooking up a chilled food, you need to do so at a temperature that is less than forty degrees F. Correct mechanics will use correct tools to mend the precise sort of automobile they are working on.Knowing this, you most likely agree that it is a vital cooking idea to keep your kitchen stocked with items that help you make dishes quickly and efficiently. This encompasses a good set of knives, pots, pans and measuring cups so you may also need to take a position in a pleasant blender and Kenwood.

In contrast to favored belief, food does not have to sample tasteless simply because it is low-fat. However, it?s been proved again and again again that low fat dishes can be made in a way that makes them colorful, colourful, and tasty. The trick is to use a selection of fresh spices, herbs, olive oil and put some thought into the dishes you choose. Use a touch of oil with lean cuts of meat and pork, and you can make just about any meal low fat.In general, chicken and turkey are sometimes fat free and fish is also a great option for any low in calorie dish. Meals contains more than simply food, and a vital cooking proposal to bear in mind is to incorporate a drink as well as food. Most meals can be improved with a careful application of a drink to your meal.The tone and flavour of your meal can be modified seriously through adding wine, sparkling mineral water, or maybe a cocktail.

Have Mercy On Our Wildlife: Lucky a child did not open the door ...

??????????????????????????????????????????????????
Think for a moment, you child opens the door to get to school. The next thing you know you are in the emergency care unit or preparing for a funeral. Bowhunters are coming closer and closer to your homes. In NJ they in the past year narrowed the buffer zone to only 50 yards from their tree stand or how ever they hunt to your homes, numerous bowhunters uses crossbows too which is deadly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbH3ml0QjO8?but bowhunting in general can all be dangerous, like what happened to this one women recently, with her young grand daughter sitting next to her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyjZ3JQP8fM. The next victim can be one of your family member unless everyone speak up for non lethal options. Here are some tips http://mathew5-7.blogspot.com/2011/02/imagine-end-to-lethal-deer-culling-yes_14.html and here http://www.nocull.org/. Bowhunters are heartless psychopath, (all Sport hunters are) and these humans finds joy in killing and torturing animals. To die drowning in ones own blood, or from an arrow wound to the liver, gut or anywhere in the body is torture and they know what they are doing, they know the animals suffer but do not care. They share their disgusting experience of killing on youtube or hunting forums with laughter and smily face emoticon.? A torture of an animal is a "fun" thing?? I can see back when there were only few markets, many lived by killing with shotguns for food and it was for sustenanace and survival.? Today don't be fooled with their "this is to stuff the freezer" BS, they all say that to take the focus off the fact that they just enjoy killing PERIOD!! And why use such barbaric weapon such as bows and arrow, a weapon of pain and suffering ?which takes animals time to die as they wait or go home overnight to search the next day because for some animals it can take up to 4-12 hours to die and bowhunters can sleep soundly?.? Why not *if* for food use a shotgun, it's quick and you can "stuff " as many dead carcass in the freezer along with the chicken breast, steak, pork chops etc.

Do you really believe anyone who have no empathy for the animals, as they do the high five, fist pumping, and finding extreme "heart pumping" exhilirating joy from the suffering of another living sentient being would care about human lives? NO, they could care less.?There sure is a lot of hunting?accidents,?and many they find out later was no "accident" but murder.? Read Hunting and Human Abuse here http://www.all-creatures.org/cash/cc2008-fa-4.html?.

It does not matter whether it's a yearling being killed who was hanging out with their siblings, or mother with young spotted fawn by her side or even killing a baby, yes a baby with spots.

?Is this the kind of wildlife serial killing monsters you want in your neighborhood? Do you have to live with fear that your child or pets, even yourself do not get hit by an arrow? They can even shoot at night for arrow are so quiet and many get away with it or just get a small fine. How about a nice walk in the park and walk into this http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv4/tinkerbell47_2009/serialkiller002.jpg. I have walked into at least 5 dead deer during bowhunting season.

DIY Home Improvement Tips to Help You Succeed

Protecting the eyes is only one of the important precautions to take when around tools. This includes many tasks, as anything from a wood chip to plaster can get in your eyes. Power tools make a lot of noise, so protecting your ears is important. Unless you want to have permanent hearing loss, then you should protect your ears when you are going to be next to high decibel sounds for extended periods. A particle mask can save you from having breathing problems, stemming from the toxic substances, such as dust, mold and insulation which you breathe in.

This is particularly true when it comes to tasks that could turn out to be very costly or even dangerous if you make a mistake. Taking on a significant plumbing project, for example, if you do not have any experience here, could result in your causing burst pipes which cause quite a lot of damage. Electrical wiring is yet another area in which you should not mess without first becoming fully qualified. This will depend, of course, upon your own level of experience and you need to be honest here. There is lots of enjoyment to be had with DIY if you have the proper experience. We have a tendency to think that attaining a fully extensive understanding about commercial real estate listings will certainly not provide us with all we must know.

When you are getting prepared for home renovation projects, it?s smart to take energy efficiency into consideration. This is essential, regardless if you are planning to stay in your home or if you would like to move out and sell it. There are tons of spots that cold air can get inside your home, for example if you have leaks around your doors, windows and other places. Because so much heat can escape through the attic, it is really important to seal the leaks up there. Air sealing can make a huge difference when it comes to locking in warm air and keeping cold air out. Your fireplace is another spot that cold air can come in, so be certain that you close the damper when you are not using the fireplace. Installing energy efficient windows and being certain that there are no cracks or leaks around the windows can also make your home more comfy and lower your energy costs.

We?ve looked at some of the many factors that are involved in DIY home improvement projects. Any more the best place to look for information might be online, but there are plenty of books and magazines, as well as TV programs with plenty of information. With the right planning, you can make many repairs, add an addition to your home or remodel a room. Your home can be changed to look better with lots of possibilities.
