Flying mites: BA passenger sets up website to complain of bed bug infestation on flight
Bugged: Zane Selkirk, 28, claims she was bitten by bugs on a British Airways flight
Long haul flights can be uncomfortable at the best of times, but if you're sharing them with blood-sucking bugs they are made all the worse.
That was the nightmare experienced by Zane Selkirk, 28, when she flew with British Airways from Los Angeles to Bangalore.
The product manager was covered with great red welts by the end of the flight and was so furious about the way staff dealt with her complaint that she set up a website with photo proof of her experience.
Ms Selkirk first spotted the creepy crawlies on her finger and blanket when she turned on the light during the night.
The startled product manager rushed to the toilet and was horrified to see blood splattered across her back from where she had been bitten.
Another four bugs were clinging to her shirt and there were two crushed insects on her shoulder.
Ms Selkirk has now published the pictures on a website after British Airways staff refused to help her when she landed in Bangalore then Heathrow.
'During the first (flight), I turned on my light to find bugs crawling on my blanket and a bedbug-blood-spattered shirt,' she wrote on the page that was set up after the incident.
'On the return journey, I left my 10-hour flight to find my body covered with 90 bug bites. The worst part was the nonexistent customer service throughout the 10-day ordeal.
'How much would somebody have to pay you to sit strapped in a seat for 10 hours, while you were bitten ~100 times by chubby, crunchy, blood-sucking insects?'
Ms Selkirk was three hours into the flight to the stopover airport, Heathrow, in her premium economy seat when she first started to feel the discomfort.
She claims that flight attendants that were called to help did not apologise but did move her and her neighbouring passenger to business class seats.
Ms Selkirk washed her clothes in Bangalore where she spoke with BA representatives but she claims she was told 'nobody had the authority to help customers'.
Bites: Ms Selkirk had been flying from Los Angeles to Bangalore on January 28 when she spotted the creepy crawlies on her finger and blanket
Painful: She rushed to the toilet and was horrified to see blood splattered across her back from where one of the creatures had been crushed
Ms Selkirk claims that flight attendants that were called to help did not apologise but did move her and her neighbouring passenger to business class seats
She said that she she left the aeroplane in London for the return flight she felt 'intensely itchy' on her lower back which was covered in dozens of fiery red bites .
But BA customer service staff at Heathrow still failed to help her, Ms Selkirk, claims, despite telling them that the entire plane could be infested.
One manager is believed to have said 'he had no authority to help me in any way.'
Ms Selkirk has now published a number of pictures of the bites on her website www.ba-bites.com in a bid to receive an apology from the airline, which also runs
American Airlines, BA's partner in the Oneworld alliance.
'I cannot imagine a scenario in which I would be excited about flying on BA ever again,' Ms Selkirk told the Financial Times.
'In this day and age of infestations in major cities around the world, is some sort of regular fumigation schedule by airlines such a crazy thing to expect?
'Does one have to build websites in order for an airline to even sort-of-not-really acknowledge that there was a problem?'
Goodwill gesture: BA apologised to Ms Selkirk over for the incident after she published photographs on her website (file picture)
BA has since written to Ms Selkirk to apologise for the incident and offered her money as a goodwill gesture which she declined.
BA told the Financial Times that it was 'extremely rare' for them to hear of bed bugs on any of the 250,000 flights it has every year.
'Nevertheless, we are vigilant about the issue and continually monitor our aircraft, a spokesman said.
'Whenever any report of bed bugs is received, we launch a thorough investigation and, if appropriate, remove the aircraft from service and use specialist teams to treat it.'

View from the sidelines
Matt Welch of Reason magazine has an interesting piece on why libertarians generally remain on the sidelines in many current crises -- with strong opinions about issues but a disinclination to make alliances, sometimes even temporary alliances, with Republicans or Democrats even though we know they're to politically dominant flavors and we may agree with both from time to time on specific issues. He analogizes us to baseball statistics guru Bill James in the 1980s, when he was decidedly an outsider, and closes thus:
"To paraphrase 1980s-era Bill James (who, interestingly, is now very much an insider, advising the very successful Boston Red Sox), since we are outsiders, this is how we view the world: with a learned skepticism about power but a cockeyed optimism about eventually breaking the shackles of bad policy. In these fluid political times, that day may come sooner than we can imagine."
I have no idea about when (or whether) the shackles of bad policy will be broken. But for some who have wondered, Matt Welch's piece comes pretty close to describing the Register's approach to issues and alliances of the day.

U.S. man sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison in suicide-bomber plot
This undated file photo provided by the U.S. Marshals Service shows Shaker Masri, 29, of Chicago. (AP / U.S. Marshals Service, File)
The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, December 11, 2012 3:37PM EST
CHICAGO -- A Chicago man was sentenced Tuesday to nearly 10 years in prison for plotting to attend a Somalia training camp with dreams of becoming a suicide bomber for al Qaeda and another terrorist group, al-Shabab.
Shaker Masri, 29, was sentenced two years after his arrest that relied heavily on an FBI informant. He pleaded guilty in July to trying to provide material support and resources to a terrorist organization. He declined to make a statement in court Tuesday and showed little emotion as U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman announced the sentence.
The Alabama-born Masri allegedly discussed the possibility of killing a busload of U.S. soldiers and about the "heavenly rewards one would receive for martyrdom," according to a government presentencing filing.
Investigators also found copies of extremist literature on Masri's computer, including Osama bin Ladin's 1996 manifesto, "The Declaration of War Against the Americans."
"Shaker Masri did not simply want to offer himself as a soldier to fight in the ranks of a terrorist militia engaged in a bloody civil war, he wanted to die killing others," the presentencing filing said. "Masri's goal was to be a tool of indiscriminate murder."
Masri also allegedly expressed admiration for Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born cleric who is believed to have inspired the 2009 Fort Hood, Texas, shooting rampage and the attempted bombing of a jetliner approaching Detroit on Christmas Day in 2009. A U.S. drone attack killed al-Awlaki last year.
The defence entered a letter from the defendant's older brother to the judge that describes Masri as lively and kind, and "our neighbourhood'sfavourite boy" as they were growing up.
"Older people used to love chatting with him, because he had a wild imagination and would tell fantastic stories," Anas Almasri wrote in the letter filed with the court. "He took genuine interest in people's stories and was always one."
The plea agreement set a recommended prison term of just under 10 years. Had the judge disagreed with that recommendation, the plea deal would have been voided.
Masri is one of several Chicago-area defendants facing terrorism-related charges who decided plead guilty.
Masri's attorney, Thomas A. Durkin, said in July, "Suffice to say, there comes a time when the government makes offers that are difficult to refuse in the light of the potential consequences."
Another man who changed his plea before making it to trial was Sami Samir Hassoun. The Lebanese immigrant pleaded guilty in April to placing a backpack he thought held a bomb near Chicago's Wrigley Field. He is due to be sentenced early next year.

Topic: Non-Natives, Plant Identification
Title: Identification of non-native Grape Hyacinth
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Mr Smarty Plants, can you tell me please, what is the name of the flower in the attached link? I see numerous references to it as blue bells or bluebells, but when I check the USDA Plants database, no plant with that common name matches the linked photo.
The plant you are talking about is also called "Grape Hyacinth". The genus name is Muscari and there are various species of this genus and two other genera, Leopoldia and Pseudomuscari that have flowers that are similar. It is not native to North America (our area of expertise) but is often seen as a garden ornamental here. They are native to the area near the Mediterranean Sea and in Asia. You can read more about them on the Pacific Bulb Society webpage.

Where to stay in SanDiego with kids?
Report Abuse
Han - here we say we drive up to LA.
There are several fun places to stay on SD Bay - with their own beaches on the more peaceful Bay and it's a short walk over to the Ocean. Try Paradise Point Resort - walking distance to Sea World - or the Catamaran or the Bahia - and even the Hilton by Fiesta Island.
Report Abuse
And between SD and LA - Disneyland or Knotts Berry farm in Orange County are probably your best bets - especially for the wee ones.
Report Abuse
You don't mention where you are heading to in Los Angeles, but the drive from SD is not terribly long (unless you run into traffic, of course!). If you just want to pull off and have lunch, San Clemente is a nice little town with a pier and beach.

Go to http://www.sandiego.org the official tourist information site for lots of good information and discount coupons.
With 3 small children you may like Homewood Suites lactated in Liberty Station, 2576 Laning Road. We have stayed here several times and there have always been quite a number of families. I believe the appeal is the very nice breakfast spread and the small evening meal offered Mon thru Thurs. included in the cost.
Hotel has a nice pool and you can walk to a close park with swing set etc. The small kitchen is helpful for drinks and snacks. Look on http://www.homewoodsuites3.hilton.com
Oh and the parking is free.
Good luck you will enjoy San Diego.
Report Abuse
Tomsd: We are already going to Disneyland when in LA. I will definitely look into Knotts Berry Farm.
Jglags: Yes, I was looking for a quick stop over in between. Thanks.
Sandy: I like your idea of having a small kitchen, specially with the kids.
Thank you for your suggestions. I really appreciate it.
Report Abuse
Yes, Sandy - Liberty Station is a nice place - with good shopping at Trader Joe's and the fun Corvette Diner for kids, etc.

I like the San Juan Capistrano Mission as a good stop between San Diego and LA. The Mission (ruin) is beautiful and there are a lot of restaurants right in the area.
Report Abuse
Yes, the San Juan Capistrano Mission is a great place to visit with kids (or not!). Good idea, Monica.
Report Abuse
I second the sandybrit's recommendation of the Homewood Suites. We stayed there three years ago, and it's location was excellent for us.
Report Abuse
I would again suggest you check out stayng at a place on Mission Bay - where you could walk along the beach/swim, etc.
Don't know your budget but they are not that expensive.
Report Abuse
LEGOLAND is on the way to LA from SD and perfect for your little ones as it is geared to their ages.
If you stay in the Mission Bay area of San Diego you'll be near Sea World. We stayed there with our kids and later our grandkids. The Hyatt Mission Bay has a water taxi that takes you directly to Sea World skipping the parking hassles and fees.

We took our 3 year old in March and rented a house on Mission Beach, which we thought was a great location. Here is the agency we used which I highly recommend:

They did a great job -- everything was well packaged and the bell desk was clearly familiar with the service. In fact, we saw the garden grocer van every single day making more deliveries while we were walking back from the pool.
This is the second time we've used Garden Grocer. When you're on vacation you don't want to waste time food shopping. Garden Grocer does it all for you and even searches and finds products not on the usual list. It's lovely to arrive at your vacation home and find your kitchen stocked with everything you need. And the Garden Grocer staff is so pleasant to deal with!
Great service, good variety of products. Delivery was on time and without problems.

Klay World
Knox's iconic klaymation series!
This is really original, and very addicting. Awesome
i really like it
thank you finaly berzerker studios got a new game...its kinda cool but i love the way you can upgrade your ship please berzerker do more of your games
Great game, though a bit on the easy side. As I'm writing this I have a score of over 100k and am not sure if I want to continue or just end it. It took me I think 5 or 6 tries to get this far and I don't even have all the best upgrades.
It would be great if there were a few more bosses and if at a certain point you never got any more anchors because otherwise I could just keep going for hours without dying.
Overall, great game just a little short and final boss a bit to easy.
This game is pretty much perfect. It's a fun little arcade shooter.

Love the Life You Live – Being the Best Possible Version of You
Recently had several services with Robyn. Best pedicure ever! Had a facial yesterday and a sauna with colour therapy and a guided chakra meditation. IT WAS AMAZING. I will be back. Also great service at front desk . Overall 10 out of 10.
Had the most wonderful manicure and pedicure with Jackee tonight! She made me feel totally relaxed, was a pleasure chatting with and did the most amazing job on my nails! Hands down, the best spa experience I have ever had. Thanks Jackee!
I treat myself sometimes & go to many spas everywhere. Few times in some spas you feel rushed & sometimes when the service is not great your hard-earned money was just wasted. Not in Spa Chapelle. Here you feel pampered, estheticians are all great & the level of service is exceptional. Coming here is like taking a holiday in some place warm & beautiful. I seldom give reviews but this establishment deserves my commendation for showing me the true value of quality service. Thanks for the wonderful time you gave to all your valued customers. We'll keep coming back!
Best Spa in town! Awesome people, relaxing environment, amazing products and amazing services that will leave you feeling 10 years younger! If you want one of the best facials you have ever received you need to come here! Thank you Spa Chappelle for making me feel awesome and being so friendly and knowledgeable. You guys rock!

Gay activists target Russia's President in European lawsuit
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
They are being very clever in using the Eurovision Song Contest as the time to hold their parade. With the eyes of Europe on Moscow the facist mayor and police thugs will not dare to assault the parade like they have done year after year. I do hope the Eurovision Song Contest sponsors the parade. Allowing such a gay favourite as the song contest to be held in a city lead by a homophobic facist seems to indicate that the ESC doesn't care much about the security of its gay fans.
Russia, contender for the title of kleptocracy of the world run by two former hobbitts with egos considerably larger than the tiny frames they inhabit. Russia, home to state sponsered murder, robbery, crime of every hue, corrupt or non-functioning parliament, courts, police. Into that blood soaked madhouse appears the Eurovision Song Contest with all it's tarnished glitter and assorted crap so, should it happen that any queer foolish enough to hit the streets dancing or singing, the murderous neo-fascists and their political and religious supporters can beat up or kill anyone who stands up to them, with impunity thanks to the regime of the two gangsters who rule Russia and their gangs of criminals who surround them. Gay and live in Russia? Run for your lives, it will be quite some time before it will be safe to be gay or in opposition to the Kremlin in that truly awful country.

Spirent Communications, the leader in user experience analytics for mobile devices and services, has completed a study of the user experience of 4G mobile services in 20 major cities across England, Scotland and Wales. The study, commissioned by Telefonica O2, included over 47,000 calls and 170,000 data tests over a three month period from May to July. Key elements of user experience were measured including call completion, data session completion, web browsing speed and file download/upload speed. All measurements were performed using Spirent's user experience analytics systems and iPhone 5c devices purchased at retail stores by Spirent.
Key findings from the study, aggregated across all cities, included: (1) the measured call completion success rate among all operators was comparable, ranging from 98.8% to 99.0%, with no operator exhibiting a statistically relevant difference relative to other operators, (2) the web browsing speeds for Telefonica O2 on the 5 tested websites ranked 1st out of 4 measured networks at an average time of 2.7 seconds, with the lowest ranked network at 3.4 seconds, (3) the file download speeds for Telefonica O2 and one other network were jointly ranked 1st out of 4 measured networks with average speeds of 11.3 Mbps and 11.6 Mbps, respectively, and with the lowest ranked network at 6.4 Mbps (the difference between the top 2 measured networks was not statistically meaningful, leading to a joint ranking), (4) the file upload speeds for Telefonica ranked 1st out of 4 measured networks at an average speed of 5.5 Mbps with the lowest ranked network at 3.0 Mbps, (5) the web browsing success rate for Telefonica O2 ranked 2nd out of 4 measured networks at 97.9%, with the highest ranked network at a 98.6% success rate and the lowest ranked network at 96.4%, (6) the file download success rate for Telefonica O2 ranked 2nd out of 4 measured networks at 98.6%, with the highest ranked network at a 99.5% success rate and the lowest ranked network at 97.4%, (7) the file upload success rate for Telefonica O2 ranked 1st out of 4 measured networks at 99.2%, with the lowest ranked network at 97.6%.
"Our goal is to provide the industry with an independent and accurate view of the user experience," said Des Owens, General Manager, Service Experience at Spirent. "To ensure accuracy, we only use real, unmodified devices for our user experience measurements – the same devices consumers purchase in retail stores. We measure the key factors that matter to users like the ability to make calls and browse to web sites and we do it all with a statistically rigorous sampling methodology. Our customers appreciate that we don't just provide independent measurement services – we also give them the ability to perform their own measurements and analysis with our suite of user experience analytics systems."
Spirent's user experience analytics systems include: Nomad (for voice services including VoLTE), Datum (for data services), Chromatic (for video calling including VoLTE IR.94 and OTT) and Quantum (for battery life). Customers of Spirent's user experience analytics services and systems include leading operators in the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America as well as leading device manufacturers worldwide.

what do we do with the Boston Bomber?
Posted in the Scottsville Forum

What should we do with this guy? Keep in mind he is a citizen.
I think a trip to GITMO for a "talk" about his friends then on to military court as an enemy combatant.
What do you think?

I would also like to find whatever support he had and hold them responsible too. I'm sure the FBI (not to be confused with FBC) is already on that.

Tie a piece of piano wire around his hammer satchel and stretch it to the rafters with a slow windup motor.

What did our government do? DOJ stops the FBI from questioning, reads him his rights, and gets him a lawyer. The FBI says this guy could have given more intel about who he worked with.
The Feds blew it. This President has no idea what it takes to keep us safe. They knew about this guy and still couldnt stop him.
How does a guy on the terror watch list leave the country for six months and not get questioned upon return? Whats the point of a watch list if you dont watch the people?

I say we shove a thorn bush down his weiner hole. place them balls inside of a pressure cooker. stick a cedar post up his and let the victim's familys handle the rest.

Let me summarize my thoughts on this. Jesus Christ arrives and warns us to beware of future false doctrines and false prophets. Some six hundred and so many years later (666ish) the Islamic religion is formed claiming that Jesus wasn't really the son of God. To this day they are still killing in the name of their religion.
It's time to expose these people for what they really are and quit pandering to their "rights". Everyone has the right to believe what they want, but when they support and enable violence they should be held accountable.
#9 Apr 26, 2013
Agree to many of these comments. BB, you are right! The pandering to these "rights" has become more than sickening! They want us to support violence, bombings (like they do things over in the middle East)...it's all those people know. But we shouldn't have to tolerate it here in the USA!

He is still innocent until proven guilty. He is a US citizen and needs to be treated as such.
#11 Apr 27, 2013
the only way he is US anything is if that the u s stand for undesirable shathead. he is a terrorist and should be treated as such and who ever gave him his citizenship should be put under investigation for allowing someone on the watch list to become a citizen when there are great people that have done everything right and still cannot become a citizen
#12 Apr 27, 2013
Tie a rope around each hand & foot & let the marathon runners drag him down the streets of Boston & let the crowd stone him then whip him with chains & hang him

If they take away his rights as an American citizen, then why not yours? He will be tried, and if found guilty he will be sentence. You morons need to think about the crap your saying. He is an American citizen on American soil.
#17 Apr 27, 2013
he ain't jack s***. how can you call him an American citizen he came here as a terrorist his agenda was to fool the system and that is exactly what he did. he is an enemy of the Union if he was made an example maybe they would think twice before they done it again. its dumb arses like you that allow this to happen
#18 Apr 27, 2013
I knew from the beginning that him being a CITIZEN would be an issue. DOJ could have waited before filing charges. Holder jumped the gun and valuable info was lost. He will be given a trial and be found guilty. I just worry about his buddies.
#19 Apr 27, 2013
probably voted for that FN Iga Bama 2
#20 May 12, 2013
he came here as an enemy of the state to try to kill as many americans as he could. I say he should be stoned to death like in the old days in the bible that way its a slow painful death that he can enjoy .. but we all know that will never happen he will spend the rest of his life being well taken care of by the u.s. government locked away some where
#21 May 12, 2013
should have buried him at sea...let the sharks eat 'em!
