Weird and Bizzare Facts
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — City animal control officers have started removing hundreds of large, feral rats from inside a Las Cruces rental home. Animal shelter director Beth Vesco-Mock said the rats — some sickly and displaying evidence of fighting — are about the size of a four- to five-month-old kitten

Animal control officers had taken two skinny dogs and about 170 rats to the shelter by mid-Thursday, and officers estimated there were at least that many rats still hiding in the home.
Officers also found the fur and skeletal remains of two dogs that were presumed to have been eaten by the rats.
Authorities have charged a 55-year-old woman with three misdemeanors for excessive waste, improper care and maintenance of animals and dead animal removal. Each of the charges carry a maximum fine of $500 or 90 days in jail.

Old Folks Tales

Old Folktales have always been a part of all cultures. Where ever
there's been human life, there's always been a tale to tell.
As a child growing up in the back woods of Virginia I recall
hearing my relatives speak of spell casting, root doctors, palm
reading, black cats and such,but I was too busy playing doctor
under the front porch to take it all in. Speaking of cats! Have you
heard the old tale that if a black cat crosses your path you will
have bad luck? Or if you walk in another persons foot-prints you
will develop a head ache? How about the most well known one; If
you break a mirror you will have seven years bad luck? Some
may view this form of thinking as none sense. But is it? What
some people considers to be none-sense is very real to others. The
belief in things such as witchcraft,black magic,vampires,voodoo
and the like,has been around for centuries. And will be-as long as
mankind walks the earth. Some older people believes that if a
pregnant woman is frighten by an animal before her child is born,
the child will be born resembling the animal that frightened her;
they call it "marking". My father,being of African and Indian
heritage, has told me some very strange tales of people he met
while growing up on the old plantations of Virginia. My favorite
being of a man called Buck Jackson;a tall slim narrow faced black
man. As my father tells it, Buck was a great harmonica player
and had other talents as well. The story goes like this. Every
Sunday people would gather at the old church and looked
forward to hearing Buck play the harmonica. Buck would start
playing the harmonica,remove it from his mouth,lay it on the
hood of his old car, and the harmonica would continue to play,
while Buck clapped his hands and said,"play it boy!" It was also
said that whenever Buck was locked up by the local police he had
to be closely watched,for Buck appeared to be a black Houdini,
(an escape artist). Buck also had a strange appetite for things like
burning cigarettes,coins,and glass lamp chimneys. The glass
chimneys must have been a delicacy for Buck. Because It was said
he would bite the chimney off piece by piece until it was all
consumed. After which,Buck would give his chest a hard pound
and the glass would come flying from his mouth.

When it comes to old tales such as this-did it happen?Maybe it
did; maybe it didn't. But one thing's for Certain! There are many
different people in this world, that are capable of many different
things;God planned it that way. Lets not forget that the bible's
full of people that performed many great deeds called miracles;but
were they miracles,or just perceived to be so?
There was a time in history when people were hanged or burned
at the stake for performing certain deeds; as in the Salem witch
trials. And what about the deeds of Christ? Many thought him to
be a demon or sorcerer,for which, contributed to his crucifixion.
The fear of such people still exists in our so called modern day
world. Many people are still strong believers in spell casting and
have their ways to prevent it. One way is to rube a string in
sulfur,tie a certain number of knots in the string and wear it
around the waist for a certain number of days and no one can cast
a spell upon you. A spell can be broken by the same means. I
heard this from an old Afro American man, and I promised not to
print all the details concerning this. Folk tales such as this has
been told through many generations and cultures. How much
truth there is in them is hard to say,but my belief is that there is
some truth in all old tales.

Really work or really stupid??

Lilyruths"This and that friendly cottage" Pets welcomed. "Old folks remedies, to cure what ailes you. Cut an apple into as many pieces as you have warts. Designate each piece to a to a wart and rub that piece on its wart. Now, put the apple back together and bury it. When the apple rots, the warts will be gone!"
This is an old folks remedy that is stupid and does not work so don't try it unless you want to feel like an idiot..
Folk Remedies. Really work or really stupid?
Well, I tried the banana remedy for warts and that worked! (tape a piece of banana skin on wart). Worth trying!!!
I like the part where you burry the apple. Does
that mean if you don't it Doesn't work or is it
just symbolic of geting rid of the wart ? How
can you tell when it rots if it is burried ? I
guess when the wart leaves. STUPID Huh?? Funny tho!
When I was a kid, my great aunt told me to cut an X in the wart, sprinkle salt in it. Wrap it with gauze for 24 hours, then take it off, put the gauze in a box, wrap it up in pretty paper & ribbons...then drop the package on the street of town. Whoever opens that package will get your wart!
It didn't work!
I got an email from a friend and it said:
I have suffered with warts all my life. One on my foot was getting extremely painful, so in desparation (thinking I'd need to have surgery on it) did a search, and came across "Wart Wonder" I've been using it faithfully and my wart that was the size of a 50 cent peice is now about the size of a quarter...I think I finally found the stuff that works. Good Luck!
I also found out that cayenne pepper used on a wort get rid of it. Sprinkle some on wet gause and put a bandage over it. Or try a piece of garlic held in place over the wart with a bandage and that will work also altho it takes a couple of weeks.
There are Old Folks remedies that really work and have been handed down through the years but there are those who are old wives tales and do not work at all. So be sure when yu do try an Old folks remedy that it has worked before you try it! There are many old folks remedies that are very good and those are the ones I bring and share with you here at Lilyruths, as well as a little of this and that..

Health Spell- Old Folks Remedies

Lilyruths"This and that friendly cottage" Pets welcomed. "Old folks remedies, to cure what ailes you.And here is another article on a plant that has been around for years and to this day there are still a few people who do not know it has the magic to cure cuts or you can add its juice right from its leaves onto your skin to make it smooth and silky. Its especialy good to use on the bottom of your feet or elbows. Aloe vera is better then pretty feet. It has many other medicinal purposes. You might think that Aloe Vera is a "New Age" fascination, but you'd be wrong about that. As far as I know, these plants have been used for every day use at least since before 1930. I have several Aloe Vera plants in my house that I often use for cuts or use on the bottom of my feet to keep then smooth and soft, I remember the first time I as treated after falling down with a leaf from the plant when I was small, my mother used it on me often and it worked. I still use it to this day. So I hope article will be of help to those who do not know about the magic Aloe vera posesses.>If you like this post buy me a beer

Horror Novelist Cooked and ate his Girlfriend

A Mexico City man has been arrested in connection with the murder of his girlfriend, who is also believed to have been a victim of cannibalism. Jose Luis Calva was a suspect in the disappearance of his girlfriend, 32 year old Alejandra Galeana. Galeana’s family tipped police to her relationship with Calva and a search of Calva’s apartment ensued. What the police found was a shock. The body of Galeana was found in Calva’s closet, although the corpse was not fully intact. On Monday, forensic experts made a grisly discovery in Calva’s apartment. Human flesh and muscle were found on a plate, along with a fork and a dirty frying pan. A lime found next to the remains suggests that Calva seasoned the woman’s forearm with the juice before cooking.

When asked if Calva had cooked and eaten his girlfriend, prosecutor Octavio Romulo Salas said, "That is the assumption that exists."

Dr. Rodolfo Rojo, Mexico City’s Chief Medical Examiner, stated that the body parts discovered corresponded with the parts missing from Galeana’s corpse. According to Rojo, it is believed that Calva strangled, dismembered, and fried part of the woman’s body before eating it. Corresponding to this belief is the fact that other incriminating evidence was found at the scene. Items found included knives, a box cutter, blood stains, and a pair of shoelaces Calva may have used to strangle the woman.

Three days passed between the alleged cannibalistic act and the gruesome discovery of the body. Three days is more than enough time for Calva’s digestive system to have disposed of any traces of Galeana’s remains. Authorities will use DNA to attempt to identify if the woman is in fact Galeana. Tests will also be performed on a leg that was found in Calva’s refrigerator.

The search of Calva’s apartment turned up an unfinished novel titled "Cannibalistic Instincts." The cover page was adorned with a picture of famed cannibal Hannibal Lecter from "Silence of the Lambs," altered to resemble the would-be author. One witness stated that Calva was fascinated by animal porn, witchcraft, and the sadistic novel "120 Days of Sodom."

Calva is also a suspect in two other Mexico City murders in which the bodies of the female victims were dismembered and crammed into cardboard boxes and suitcases. One of the bodies, found in April, was missing its hands and feet. A previous murder victim, found in 2004, was Calva’s former girlfriend Veronica Martinez.

According to Salas, Calva could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted of homicide. Source: Pam Mortimer

Satan is running Loose

A satanist who allegedly lures men to bed in order to rob them is on the loose in Gaborone.The woman apparently uses her evil powers to extort her victims' debit card pin numbers and loot their money from the bank. The devil worshiping South African woman, commonly known as Tshireletso, confessed at a healing crusade organized by the Christian Worship Center (CWC) of South Africa at the National Stadium in Gaborone recently. She revealed that she had come to Gaborone to cast evil spells on unsuspecting people.CWC owns the popular Divine Troupe God Channel, which has footages of Tshireletso, at several crusades where CWC Pastor Irene Tshifiwe exorcised her, releasing snakes, frogs, rings, money and chains through her private and other body parts.Tshifiwe said: "She told us that she specialized in men. She performed sex with them and used her evil powers to know their pin codes and steal their money."Lazarus Mosandiwa, a member of the Divine Troupe God Channel in South Africa told The Voice that they had footage of the woman releasing horrible objects such as men's genitals, money, wires of all alphabetical shapes, and rings from her private parts."After having sex with these men, she kills some of them and steals their private parts," he said.Tshireletso was last seen at the National Stadium where she was rolling over and crawling in zigzags like a snake.Mosandiwa said: "This woman had been following us wherever we hold crusades. She first appeared at our service in May 2006 and confessed she was a satanist."She told us she wanted to be delivered and revealed she had evils powers to kill fetuses in their mother's womb, steal from men, kill and mutilate them. We prayed for her and all sorts of things came out of her body."After the exorcism, Mosandiwa said, Tshireletso disappeared only to come back at another Crusade that was held at the Alexander Township in South Africa."She threw rings, bangles and shoes onto the stage.

Have trouble Sleeping do This to Promote Sleep

Promote Sleep
There’s a lot you can do to regain control over your sleep. Minor lifestyle and environment changes — such as preparing for sleep, following a sleep schedule, and making your bedroom conducive to sleep — can have a major impact. And if you do shift work, there are ways to meet the unique challenges you face.

Prepare for sleep
Setting the stage for a good night’s sleep can help you get your mind and body into “sleep mode.”

Relax your body. To reduce muscular tension, try techniques such as meditation, progressive relaxation (see glossary), or even taking a warm bath.
Unwind mentally. About a half hour before going to bed, enjoy a low-key activity such as reading or listening to music.
Once in bed, try to stop worrying. Avoid solving your problems from your bed. Before going to bed, make a list of problems and “next steps” for the following day.
Try a high-carb snack. A light snack that is high in carbohydrates, such as a plain bagel, might help you relax. Avoid heavy, spicy, or high-sugar foods.
Follow a schedule
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day — even on weekends. Creating this routine can help condition your mind and body to expect sleep at a regular time.
Do a bedroom check
Your bedroom may not be as conducive to sleep as it could be. The following strategies can make your bedroom more sleep-friendly:
Block out noise. Or better yet, eliminate it. Even if you fall back to sleep after noise wakes you, the quality of your sleep can be compromised. Turn off radios, televisions, or stereos in the bedroom (and other rooms as well). If you can’t control the noise, try earplugs.
Reduce light. The issue isn’t merely how light affects your eyes. Light also affects the way your brain produces hormones that regulate your sleep cycle. Even a minimal amount of light can disrupt your sleep. Possible solutions: Ask your sleep partner to read in another room; wear a “sleep mask”; use heavy shades or other window treatments that keep the room very dark.
Adjust the room temperature. If you are too warm or too cold, you are less likely to sleep soundly. Adjust the thermostat, your sleep clothes, or your bedding; open or close a window.
Move the clock. If you have insomnia (see glossary), looking at the clock can make you anxious. Therefore, it’s best to keep it out of view.
Have your pet sleep somewhere else. If your dog or cat sleeps in your bed, your chances for sound sleep are jeopardized. Have your pet sleep on the floor, or get your pet its own cushion and place it in another room.
Address your partner’s sleep problems. A bed partner who snores, tosses and turns a lot, talks while sleeping, or gets up often can affect your own sleep. In some cases, using earplugs or adding “white noise” (from a fan or similar humming appliance) can help. If your partner gets up a lot, make sure he or she sleeps closest to the door. If your partner tosses and turns, consider a larger bed, or even separate beds.
Perhaps the best solution for you and your partner is to get to the source of the problem by consulting a healthcare provider.

Tips for shift workers
If you need to get a good night's sleep during the day, one of your biggest challenges may be dealing with the sunlight. Here are some suggestions:

If possible, work in brightly lit areas during your shift.
When you drive home in the morning, wear sunglasses. Limiting light to your eyes tricks the brain into thinking it’s getting close to nighttime.
Make sure your bedroom is absolutely dark. If any daylight is creeping in through the curtains or shades, drape a thick towel or blanket over the window. You might also consider wearing a “sleep mask.”

Vampires They Walk Among Us

Susan walked down the quiet avenue, wisps of fog swirling around her feet. No stranger to the lonely street, she was accustomed to its twists and turns as she shook off the stresses of her hectic work day. What she could not shake off so easily was the unaccustomed sense that she was not alone. Perhaps it was something in the way the mist seemed to cling to her feet, or the damp chill that so easily penetrated the light coat she wore. Or perhaps she really wasn't alone after all. The stranger stood, unmoving, in the middle of the street just ahead of Susan, the fog coiling around him like a lover's seduction. Where he had come from, why she hadn't seen him before, were questions that Susan couldn't think to ask, as she stared at the nightmare vision before her. His clothes, so black that they seemed to be more of an absence of light than a colour, made it appear as though his his head rode a wave of moonless night. His skin was as pale and cold as the mists that swirled around him, his face a mask of chilled beauty that was hypnotic in its inhumanity.

Vampire – the word conjures up visions of pale monsters who walk in the guise of man, endlessly searching for their next victim. In the modern incarnation, the vampire is one who drains away a person's vitality and life force, leaving his victim listless, tired, and drained of energy. We refer to them as psychic vampires, but they are no less frightening as the blood suckers of legend. But are all psychic vampires as evil as we want to believe?

There are a great variety of psychic vampires, but they all share one thing in common: a need for life force. For some reason they are unable to produce or maintain sufficient levels of this energy to sustain themselves. Some are aware of their condition, others are not, but they all need to replenish their energy from exterior sources. Energy sources range from the environment, to living creatures, to specific emotions such as fear or love.

There are deliberate vampires, who, in order to increase their lifespan, and maintain a healthy quality of life, have deliberately cultivated the ability to steal life force from others. These predators most closely resemble the monsters that we think them to be, and are to be avoided wherever possible. There are unintentional vampires, who are not consciously aware of their need. They manifest as parasitic individuals, drama queens, and the like, who's draining effects are generally mild unless one is exposed to them for an extended period of time.

There also exists in our society a third category of vampire: the self acknowledged vampire. These people know that they have a deficiency in their energy body that needs to be regularly replenished. While some of them adopt a "goth" lifestyle, complete with hair, makeup, and clothing, many of them are normal people with normal lives. They are construction workers and secretaries, brothers and sisters, friends and co-workers. They are you and me.

Most of them follow a code of ethics that precludes predatory feeding, preferring to find a donor instead of a victim. If they do not reveal themselves to you, you might never know who or what they are. Many belong to a vampire organization, called a house, though some prefer not to affiliate themselves with any particular group. If it were not for the vampire aspect of their lives, they would be indistinguishable from everybody else.

What makes them need life force? Why do they have a deficiency in their energy systems? It could be similar to models of weight loss and gain. There are some individuals who are thin, and are healthy that way. Then there are other individuals who are skinny and not healthy that way; they require supplements to balance their system and so raise their weight up to healthy levels. So it might also be with energy feeders: some may be perfectly healthy operating on less energy, while the same lessened energy levels in an other would be insufficient to maintain their lives. That situation could be an indicator that the individuals are missing a frequency set that they either cannot retain or manufacture. These individuals could be made healthy by replacing the frequency or harmonic set from external sources, which is where the energetic individuals would come in. Those who are healthy have, or can create, the energies they need for life, whether those needs be great or small.

I wonder if the psychic vampire are not a precursor to man's next evolutionary phase? Consider this: in our society we have psychic vampires, and we have people diagnosed as hyperactive, one of the key symptoms of which is an uncontrolled overabundance of energy. What if the latter could function as an energy source for the former? What if, through subsequent development, the "vampire" could, in addition to feeding, take a group's excess energy, and direct it toward a useful end, rather like the components of a flashlight? The group would provide the power, and the vampire would direct the energy to produce light?

It is widely held belief that mankind is moving toward a more enlightened age, one of spiritual awareness, and psychic ability. Many vampires believe that they have inherent psychic abilities, and indeed is a requirement for energetic feeding. Perhaps these abilities are an extension of an overall ability to harness life energy, and direct it to the betterment of mankind.

It is clear that we, as a species, are moving on in our overall development. We are developing a world consciousness, an awareness that we are all connected. An increasing number of people are manifesting abilities once relegated to the realm of the mystic. In the larger group, everybody has a role to play. Perhaps some are energy sources, and others are directors of that energy, while still others are healers and builders, with each individual helping to maintain the overall organism that is man.

Whatever you choose to believe, believe this: there are vampires in your life. Right now, and possibly closer than you think. While some are predatory or parasitic in nature, there are many more who are just trying to live. When I have a deficiency in my systems, I seek to correct it, just as they do. The majority of them are not out to harm you. They just want to live a good life, the same as you and I.

Smoking Does it affect the Sex of your Child?

Studies show that couples that smoke during the time of conception have a higher chance of having a girl compared to couples that do not smoke.
Smoking, Conception and the Sex of Your Child
So you’re ready to have a family, and would like to load the odds in favor of one sex or the other. How do you go about the whole thing?

Since most couples have the basics down, we won’t provide a how-to guide here, but there are certain things that not only affect fertility in general, but also the sex of the child-to-be.

First, there is the age-old argument of who influences the sex of the child more: man or woman. That depends on how you look at it. Woman cannot contribute to making a boy, since she possesses only the X chromosome for females. Men, on the other hand, have both X and Y sperm. If X hits the egg first, you’ll have a girl. If Y wins the race, you’re going to have a boy.

That’s the modern scientific “evidence”. Back in the really old days, you had nonsense like the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras, who declared in the 5th century, that the right testicle sired boys, and the left, girls. Even before that, in 800B.C., one of the first sex manuals, the Caraka Samhita, recommended turning the woman on her right side after sex, because male children developed in the right side of the uterus.

That’s the modern scientific “evidence”. Back in the really old days, you had nonsense like the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras, who declared in the 5th century, that the right testicle sired boys, and the left, girls. Even before that, in 800B.C., one of the first sex manuals, the Caraka Samhita, recommended turning the woman on her right side after sex, because male children developed in the right side of the uterus.

Now, one of society’s increasingly abhorred habits, smoking, is being cited as an enhancement and deterrent to having children of a certain sex, or having children at all.

New Scientist magazine published an article in the April 2002 edition, citing smoking as more likely to get you a girl. Why? Because apparently the male sperm are more sensitive to the chemicals in smoke/cigarettes, and die off in the millions, leaving the field clear for the X sperm to have their way.

Then again, another 2002 study put out by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, found that in 290 participating couples, smokers had less sex, lower sperm counts, and took longer to conceive.

Your best bet? The old-fashioned way. At least then, you have a 50% chance of getting the sex of the child you want. Tell your friends about "Lilyruths "

Pain in the neckMark in Vermont - Gosh, I can't move my head... It's the second time this year. I think when I sit next to a drafty window I get it every time. It's really annoying because you can't even drive your car right. I feel like I am walking around with one of those neck braces on, I have to move my whole body to look to the right. Ouch! Man it hurts.Anyway, normally what helps me is this cream called IcyHot, you could get it at a local pharmacy. You put some on your neck and rub it in till you can feel the heat. Do that before you go to bed and wrap a wool scarf around your neck for the night. If you get it real bad, might be a good idea to do it several times a day.A real hot shower seems to help as well.

100 Year Old Lady Celebrates Birthday by Lighting Up her 170,000th Cigarette

Winnie Langley, who just turned 100 years old and has been smoking cigarettes since 1914, celebrated her birthday by lighting up her 170,000th cigarette.
1. I don’t know how she has figured out the number of 170,000, but I’m sure she forgot about a few cancer sticks she smoked after getting hammered off moonshine during Prohibition.
2. Now idiotic smokers are going to figure that smoking is good for you because one person beat the odds. Ugh. Source: news

The Atlanta Falcons quarterback was accused of helping to run an interstate dog-fighting operation, known as "Bad Newz Kennels", from 2001 to April 2007.

His lawyers accepted a plea agreement after his co-defendants agreed to co-operate with prosecutors.

Vick, 27, who faces a maximum five years in jail, has now been suspended indefinitely without pay by the NFL.

The quarterback, who could also be fined up to $250,000 (£125,000), is likely to face a reduced punishment because of his guilty plea.

Prosecutors said the dogs sometimes fought to the death and underperforming animals had been shot, drowned, hanged, electrocuted or killed by being slammed to the ground.

Dog-fight paraphernalia

Vick, who is expected to formally enter his plea on Monday, reportedly admitted bankrolling the fights but denied gambling on them.

Two of Vick's co-accused, Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips, both pleaded guilty earlier this month.

The Associated Press news agency quoted a summary of facts in the case as recording: "Vick agrees and stipulates that these dogs all died as a result of the collective efforts of Peace, Phillips and Vick."

Police who searched Vick's property in April found pit bull dogs and dog-fighting paraphernalia.

The football star, who signed a 10-year, $130mn (£65mn) contract with the Falcons in 2004, last season became the first quarterback ever to rush for more than 1,000 yards.

An NFL statement released on Friday read: "Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Falcons QB (quarterback) Michael Vick on Friday that he is suspended indefinitely without pay from the National Football League, effective immediately."
