Talk:Scabies

infection
The article says that scabies is an infection. The CDC source that is cited in each case only classifies it as an infestation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.5.52.96 (talk) 16:31, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

seven year itch
Where is it known as 'the seven year itch'? Is there any reason this is in the first line of the article? There are hundreds of slang and colloquial terms for scabies, contemporary and historical. This one is mentioned in the introductory paragraph of a chapter on scabies in a book on google books, does it add anything to the article? 86.147.255.115 (talk) 12:40, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * this is one of the most common. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 18:38, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Okay, where? Is there any proof it's the most common (and so included in the first line of the article?) The only place I've ever come across it is in this article. Will people search for 'the seven year itch'? A section on slang terms for scabies might be good actually since slang names will be more widely used 86.129.219.253 (talk) 21:24, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Management - Medications - Topical
Section related to lindane lotion revised for accuracy. Statement regarding “legal” status of lindane, which primarily relates to agricultural uses, is misleading and inappropriately included in a discussion of scabies treatments. For example, the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants recently added lindane to the list of chemicals to be eliminated by ratified countries; however, there is a specific exemption for public health uses of pharmaceutical lindane for second-line treatment of scabies and lice. Canada and the US both support medical uses of lindane while abandoning agricultural uses. — comment added by Blancer707 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

In response to edits by Yillowslime: With all due respect, the revision to the first statement is incorrect. Lindane lotion is FDA approved as a second-line treatment. The tradename was removed since the product is sold in the US generically. The FDA advisory report does not say that the medication is not well tolerated and contraindicated. In fact, published studies on lindane show that the medication is well tolerated. The statement was thus revised for accuracy. The information regarding legal status really relates to agricultural applications and does not seem relevant here. The hyperlink on the word lindane to the lindane page would seem sufficient. Blancer707 (talk) 03:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 * The information on global status not about just ag uses, it includes pharmaceutical uses. Wikipedia strives to provide a global perspective, so the stuff on bans outside the US needs to be in the article. Yilloslime T C  16:53, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Sulfur
Would any one like to update the sulfur treatment with this academic journal article?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1634185/?page=1

Essentially it says 18% sulfur soap applied and left on overnight for 3 nights had a great success rate in curing scabies in over ~400 patients. It also says sulfur dermatitis did not occur in any patients, which can happen as a side effect of sulfur ointments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.162.93 (talk) 05:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Here is an abstract published in 2012 (NIH/NLM) - from Baghdad Teaching Hospital. 10% Sulfur in petrolatum applied daily for 3 consecutive days with one bath daily (reapplication following the bath) resulted in 96.7% cure rate. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22395587

Scabies Rash Pictures
I would like to begin a discussion on the importance of some good quality images of the scabies rash for reference. The images on this page are all of such a quality that you can't really see the symptoms. I have some quality images that I would like to reference. If using this link is a problem, I would happily donate the images for use as I feel they would be helpful. Anyone else? I think the discussion here covers the topic well, but the images are lacking.

Just want to open this up for discussion. Davidandkimbenton (talk) 02:38, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree. The photos are of poor quality and one has to search very carefully to find any of the lesions. 2A00:23C7:B002:9501:59AE:6AE6:D6EC:C5B3 (talk) 16:53, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Scabies When is scabies most contagious, is it right before you break out when you are most contagious to spread to others? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.130.181 (talk) 12:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

No, you are contagious the second you are infected with the scabies mite...it is a parasite, not a virus and can spread quickly. The rash is a result of burrowing and waste from the scabies mite. Treatment is the same before and after you break out. 65.190.129.130 (talk) 16:46, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

WHAT DO THEY EAT
Makes no mention of what they "eat". --98.141.78.112 (talk) 16:28, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Scabies eat human flesh. This is their way of surviving on the host (human... possibly you?) and the main cause of the 'damage' you see in pictures around the web... This damage is the result of the females mainly but also the males can create burrows, or trails/tracks, as well as deep 'holes' which turn into scabs, which are hard/crusted and contain eggs, and live mites.

When a live mite makes trails/moves through the skin(not to be confused with the final 'burrow' as these trails create very little visible damage in comparison to the burrows), in its path it drops eggs; these eggs hatch and become full adult mites within several weeks. If the 'scabs' are not picked off from each large (0.5cm up to 3-4cm) hole/lesion/sore/scab(and yes; it does hurt like a b*tch) the treatment's will/may fail, as the scabs contain mites which wont die with topical application. The extreme itchiness experienced in some people by these scabies, is the result of them eating our skin, and secreting it as a waste product; a fecal matter. It is a green hard slimy like substance, which can be seen on the outside of our skin, at times when the mites mature close to the surface of the skin. This green patch is usually triangular in shape, as the mite starts as 1 female, in her burrow. Within her burrow she lays eggs, and these begin moving once hatched and able to walk. Once these mites begin to move about, they usually head out in 1 direction, contributing to the triangular like markings in green fecal matter left behind, or in scab holes from the waste being left 'under the skin/not visible on the outside'. These marks may alternatively appear to look like splatter marks as if you took a bucket of paint and dumped into one spot; same idea with these mites because the female starts in one spot, which her offspring take-off from in 1 direction usually. The burrows can be visible as deep holes known as lesions or they can be totally non-visible at times, making diagnosis difficult.

Humans being the main hosts for scabies mites means that this mite is a flesh eating disease in a sense, as left untreated this infection can take over your entire body; I speak from experience here.

There is some controversy regarding the 'what do they eat' topic, as I have seen recently that scabies can and will infect 'drywall', found in homes; known as walls. This makes things more confusing, as the mites are known to be a human parasite transmitting from human to human via close contact and fomites(contaminated clothing/towels/beds/sofa's/etc), using only humans because they need something we have in our skin and only in human skin, animals apparently don't have what the mite requires to sustain life. 96.48.241.129 (talk) 12:26, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

scabies
can this be transmitted to the eyes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.147.164 (talk) 19:20, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Scabies require oxygen and generally stay close to the surface of the hosts skin, and having scabies in the eye is a possibility, as they can end up in the mouth from biting sores as a way to remove the scab without something sharp, it may sound weird but without removing these scabs the mites will only reinfect the host within days, these mites 'appear' to be moving, but are too small to actually see what they are doing or how they are moving, to me, this moving action is seen as a very faint 'flashing', almost as if the mite was a reflection or very tiny light source, this action can be seen around the house as well; in beds, chairs, floors, washrooms, on your skin. This is a good way of 'detecting' scabies sometimes, as they can be very hard at times to detect when hidden within scabs / spit piles (for those of us who destroy our rental homes. a very bad habit indeed) 96.48.241.129 (talk) 12:33, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

There are different types of mites. Sarcoptic scabies var.canis, is the dog mite, AKA mange mite. This can be transmitted to humans and is very difficult to eradicate (I speak from experience) no matter what all of the incorrect literature says about how canine mites die off quickly when on the human body. The reference to the infestation of walls (drywall) refers to bird mites, which have been known to be found on walls and ceilings because they are often introduced into the home from bird nests built next to air conditioning intake vents. Bird mites are found in the surrounding environment, in addition to infesting and burrowing into human skin. Bird mites and canine mites are just as difficult to get rid of as the human scabies mite. And what is worse, these different varieties of scabies mites have become resistant to, and have adapted quickly to any current scabicides on the market that uninformed doctors recommend. The longer one is infested, the more difficult they are to get rid of.

216.70.22.249 (talk) 21:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC) I don't understand this 'scab being picked off' to prevent more scabies when under History you have a claim that this spreads the effect. And I am myself symptomatic of initial infection 2 months after first bites. Doctor was at a loss to clarify, am not sure if antibiotic I am taking for cellulitis should be continued. No other articles mentioned removing scabs. I feel the article should make an effort to present in one paragraph the fact that it could be a month or more before sysptoms, and life cycle, including feeding and how long live on body, months, and that bumps can present after mites dead. It is confusing the way it is spread out. In one paragraph life on body please.

Invitation to edit
It is proposed that Scabies be part of the trial of a new template; see the green strip at the top of Pain where it has been in place for a couple of months. The purpose of this project is to encourage readers to edit, while equipping them with the basic tools. If you perceive a problem with this, or have any suggestions for improvement, please discuss at the project talk page --Anthonyhcole (talk) 09:39, 10 January 2011 (UTC).

Disambiguation
The phrase "seven-year itch" redirects here. It ought to redirect to the disambiguation page for "The seven-year itch," which links to the play, albums, etc. Audiosqueegee (talk) 15:36, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

68.188.203.251 (talk) 00:41, 17 September 2012 (UTC) Well, I input 'seven year itch' and got the play. In as much as the scabies has been a human condition for a lot longer than the play, I ask it be returned. inputing 'play seven year itch' makes more sense than altering this site request.

 * Personally I have NEVER heard the term 7-year itch applied to scabies but rather to what happens to married people following 7-years of their partnership - i.e. one or other of the couple give way to 'wanderlust' ... I support removing the reference to 7-year itch altogether, it adds nothing and only distracts,  or else by writing :  " sometimes referred to as 7-year itch ". 2A00:23C7:B002:9501:59AE:6AE6:D6EC:C5B3 (talk) 17:11, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Resistant Scabies and the use of Synergists to counter Metabolism of Treatments
I've had scabies for 6 months but it is not the human scabies it is the canine type, Sarcoptic Scabiei Canis, the mite is extremely tenacious and adaptive. Having tried a wide array of cures I recently found the key to being cured. It happened when I stumbled upon this link and followed the clue. I will post several that if read will reveal the answer.

http://www.denvergov.org/Portals/626/documents/Natural%20Areas/Mange.pdf

http://www.eblue.org/article/S0190-9622%2883%2970148-9/abstract

http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000354

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piperonyl_butoxide

In other countries they use this in scabicides but not in The United States.

http://www.ciplamedpro.co.za/product-catalog/scheduled-products/topicals/spregal-spray/

http://www.labchile.cl/vademecum/ficha.php?idcat=12&id_prese=486

the PBO also synergizes Imidicloprid.

http://ddr.nal.usda.gov/bitstream/10113/30388/1/IND44203624.pdf

They don't have that in America so I took 1 ounce of Rid lice shampoo which is 4% piperonyl butoxide and one dose of K9Advantix II for extra large dogs a 4ml dose(44%permethin 8.8% imidicloprid and s-methoprine)and applied the mixture to my body for 3 days, I will continue to do so for quite some time as the life cycle must be broken(entomology of sarcoptic scabiei canis),during treatment all biting stopped within a few days and post scabies symptoms were exhibited. It comes out to a 6% permethrin mix at that ratio. The PBO also makes the Imidacloprid thats in Advantix work again too. I'm wondering if it works for Ivermectin also because they have to metabolize that too but I couldn't find any research on that at all. I've had this for 6 months so they had a pretty big presence. I ordered 91% PBO and 10% permethrin online and when that arrives i will switch to that as a topical when it arrives as the advantix is quite expensive. A mix of 5 ounces of 10% permethrin and 1.1 ounces of PNO will yield an 8% permethrin and 17% PBO topical. If this sounds somewhat drastic then compare it to sacrificing your life to this disease.

Here is a metaphor for my journey except in the end I won.

Scabies does not go away by itself--Medication is necessary to kill the mite
216.70.22.249 (talk) 21:51, 9 March 2012 (UTC) I read the entire article and did not get that message. In particular, the paragraph that claimed live mites live on people would tend to indicate one can ignore a scabies infection. The Gov website clarified that but left out Ivermectin, the horse wormer. I have scabies that could only have come off a coat I tried on at GoodWill. The 72 hour life of the mite comes to mind here. I did not know about the round welts at the entrance site on my neck, I though it was hives of which I also have never had due to some bacteria on the coat fur ruff. I had no idea it was scabies as I never had it before and the itches on my arm did not get connected. Finally 2 months later I had a flare up of infection on my wrist and finger involving itching. The dr gave me antibiotics for the skin infection but failed to give any medicine for scabies. What am I to think about this treatment?

 * Although a doctor myself, I have to agree that it is widespread to find considerable ignorance about the diagnosis and treatment of scabies, lice and fleas amongst my medical colleagues for these extremely disruptive and disabling infestations. There is a huge amount of misinformation that is annoyingly regurgitated in many supposedly learned articles in the medical literature. 2A00:23C7:B002:9501:59AE:6AE6:D6EC:C5B3 (talk) 17:34, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Epidemiology
This section is really poorly done and filled with contradictory statements.

As of 2010 it affects approximately 100 million people (1.5% of the population) and is equally common in both genders.[9]

Globally as of 2009, an estimated 300 million cases of scabies occur each year, although various parties claim the figure is either over- or underestimated.[16][43]

About 1–10% of the global population is estimated to be infected with scabies, but in certain populations, the infection rate may be as high as 50–80%.[8]

Which is it: 1.5%, up to 10%? 100 million people total, 300 million per year?

The mites are distributed around the world and equally infect all ages, races, and socioeconomic classes in different climates.[18]

Scabies is more often seen in crowded areas with unhygienic living conditions.[42]

That first statement looks pretty dubious to me (really, it affects everyone around the world regardless of living conditions equally?) and if you look at the source given, no proper source for the claim is linked. It is also contradicted by the next statement where it is more often seen in crowded areas with unhygenic living conditions (i.e. lower socioeconomic status).

Grizzlebizzle (talk) 18:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

The 2nd paragraph of this article states"Scabies is most often spread during a relatively long period of direct skin contact with an infected person (at least 10 minutes) such as that which may occur during sex or living together." This is misleading, I just don't believe in this emphasis that one will be fine so long as they try not to be in direct prolonged contact and that it is highly contagious, but I'm not a physician... could the language here be neutralized? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.174.170 (talk) 07:26, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

I find the long introduction a hinderance to reading the article.

Julian Barratt

Julian Barratt Pettifer (born 4 May 1968) is an English comedian, actor and musician. As a comedian and comic actor, he is known for his use of surreal humour and black comedy. During the 2000s he was part of The Mighty Boosh comedy troupe alongside comedy partner Noel Fielding.

Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Barratt was educated at the University of Reading. With Fielding, he established the Mighty Boosh. Together, they produced a 2001 radio series, The Boosh, for BBC Radio London. This was followed by a television series, The Mighty Boosh, comprising three series for BBC Three from 2004 to 2007. The show generated a cult fan following and won a variety of awards.

Alongside Fielding, he has starred in Unnatural Acts, Nathan Barley and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Barratt also co-wrote and starred in the 2017 film Mindhorn. He starred in the Channel 4 black comedy-drama sitcom Flowers.

Early life
Barratt was born Julian Barratt Pettifer on 4 May 1968 in Leeds, West Yorkshire. He adopted his middle name as his surname to distinguish himself from reporter Julian Pettifer. He attended the University of Reading.

The Mighty Boosh
Barratt stars as the character Howard Moon opposite Noel Fielding's Vince Noir in the comedy series The Mighty Boosh. Howard labels himself a "jazz maverick" and claims to be a multitalented intellectual, calling himself a "man of action", but he is actually unsuccessful in his literary and romantic ventures. He is unpopular with many of the characters, including Mrs. Gideon (who always forgets his name), Bob Fossil (who often uses Howard as a puppet for his bizarre schemes), and Bollo (who often says his name wrongly or ignores him completely). Barratt composed all of the music for the series, which includes a variety of genres such as rap, heavy metal, and psychedelic rock.

Other
Barratt has had parts in other dramas, often alongside his Mighty Boosh partner Noel Fielding. He starred as Dan Ashcroft, a frustrated magazine writer, in the Channel 4 media satire Nathan Barley, and appeared in the surrealistic black comedy series Asylum alongside Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson (who wrote and starred in Spaced). The character of Brian Topp in Spaced was written for Barratt, but eventually went to Mark Heap. Barratt played Jackson, a musician, in How Not to Live Your Life. He starred in the "Freelance Scientist" commercial for Metz alcopop. He appeared as The Padre in the spoof horror series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. He also starred in (and was a writer for) the 1998 sketch show Unnatural Acts, alongside Fielding. Before this, Barratt was one half of an experimental comedy duo called "The Pod" with friend Tim Hope, in which they billed themselves as a "Cyberdance Collective". During this time he also appeared in the 2001 film Lucky Break.

Barratt made his directing début for Warp Films with theatre director Dan Jemmett. Curtains is set in a Norfolk seaside town. It is a dark comedy about a Punch and Judy man. In 2012, Barratt directed his first music video, for the song "All of Me" by Tanlines. He can be heard as the voiceover on many adverts, such as More Th>n Car, House and Pet insurance, and the Directgov advert. He appeared in the music video for Mint Royale's "Blue Song", alongside Noel Fielding, Nick Frost, and Michael Smiley. In 2010, Barratt took part in Sky Comedy's Little Crackers. He wrote and directed a 15-minute film based on his teen band, Satan's Hoof. On 12 March 2011, he made a brief appearance as Heathcliff in Noel Fielding's "Wuthering Heights" dance on the Let's Dance for Comic Relief finale. He also narrated the 2011 documentary Seven Dwarves.

In 2012, Barratt appeared in the miniseries Treasure Island on Sky1, as well as narrating the BBC Two documentary The Tube. He also had a part as an art teacher in the BBC drama White Heat. In 2013, he appeared in the fifth series of Being Human, playing a werewolf named Larry Chrysler. He also narrated the BBC Two documentaries The Route Masters: Running London's Roads and The Fifteen Billion Pound Railway. In April 2014, he collaborated with Julia Davis and Joe Frank on Frank's radio show "Isolation," which was broadcast as part of KCRW's UnFictional series.

In April 2016, he starred as Maurice Flowers, a children's author battling depression, in the Channel 4 series, Flowers, a 6 part dark comedy mini series which follows the eccentric and dysfunctional members of the Flowers family. He reprised the role for the second series in 2018.

He plays the title character in the film Mindhorn, which he co-wrote with Simon Farnaby. It was released through Netflix on 12 May 2017.

In 2024, Barratt appeared in series 2 of Extraordinary as a special powers counsellor. The lead character had a crush on him and they shared a kiss after having described him as a DILF to her friend Carrie. He also appeared in the miniseries Knuckles as Jack Sinclair.

Stage
From 3 June to 9 July 2011, Barratt played the Mayor in a production of Nikolai Gogol's classic comedy The Government Inspector at the Young Vic Theatre. In October 2012, he returned to the stage in Lucy Kirkwood's play NSFW at the Royal Court.

Music
Barratt is an accomplished musician, and played guitar for Little Chief during their European tour. He took an interest in jazz fusion at a young age, and by 17 was attempting to launch a career as a professional jazz guitarist. He was in a band called Groove Solution in the early 1990s with Dave Westlake, and has also played bass with Chris Corner in IAMX.

Personal life
Barratt is in a relationship with comedian Julia Davis. The couple have twin sons. In 2010, they performed together in a production of Chekhov's The Bear for Sky Arts 2 and in Sally4Ever, which Davis also wrote and directed. Barratt is known to be shy, quiet, and self-deprecating. Unlike his comedy partner Noel Fielding, he prefers not to appear on comedy quiz shows or make similar public appearances, stating that he would rather "stay at home with a good book".

Irving Fazola

Irving Fazola (December 10, 1912 – March 20, 1949) was an American jazz clarinetist.

Biography
Irving Henry Prestopnik was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. After receiving the nickname "Fazola", he used it as his last name. Influenced in early life by Leon Roppolo, Fazola was playing professionally by age 15. In New Orleans he worked with Sharkey Bonano, Candy Candido, Armand Hug, and Louis Prima. He joined the Ben Pollack band when it came through town and performed with it in Chicago and New York City. After brief time with Glenn Miller and Gus Arnheim, Fazola became a member of the Bob Crosby band in 1938. He achieved some fame with this band, ranking as top clarinetist in the DownBeat magazine polls of 1940 and 1941. After leaving Crosby, he worked in bands in Chicago, New York, and New Orleans, including time with George Brunies at the Famous Door, before settling in New Orleans in 1943. Although musicians told him he could find greater fame and fortune in New York, he told them he felt more comfortable in his hometown with its wonderful food, which he ate in large quantities. According to Pete Fountain, Fazola drank heavily, which contributed to his weight and his early death. He died of a heart attack at the age of 36 in 1949.

Fazola influenced Fountain, whose style resembled Fazola's and who substituted for Fazola at the Opera House the night of his death. Fountain owned one of Fazola's clarinets, but he said the odor of garlic from it was so strong that it was nearly impossible to play. The clarinet was built on the Albert System in which the fingers stretch more than on the Boehm system that Fountain used. The "woody" or "fat" sound of Fountain derived in part from a crystal mouthpiece similar to the one Fazola had used.

Vancouver Merge
I see many users want to merge the 9 O'clock gun page with the Vancouver page. I believe that the disputed page should be merged with the Stanley Park page as it is under developed and it simply fits better. There is also the fact that the Vancouver page is already fairly full.

Talk:The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

Fat Freddy's Drop
The New Zealand band mentioned in the article got their name from a particularly strong batch of Fat Freddy's Cat themed LSD blotter. Rico nz (talk) 09:07, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Fat Freddy Scat?
Various anons, possibly the same person, I'm not sure, keep adding that Fat Freddy's Cat is also known as "Fatfreddyscat" or "Fat Freddy Scat". To my knowledge this is not the case; I have some vague recollection that the phrase is used as a pun in one of the Fat Freddy's Cat strips but that it was never intended to be the cat's name. Anyone know for sure so that I can revert with confidence (or not, as the case may be)? If you are (one of) the user(s) that keeps adding this fatfreddyscat thing, could you point me in the direction of the source of your info (i.e. Freak Brothers comic number & page). Thanks --Lancevortex 16:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am the person who made that change (and re-added it after you removed it). If you look at the inside cover of Issue #2, about half way down, you'll see FFC say "I'm Fat Freddy Scat" in a little rhyme. F. Fredrick Skitty seems to be a variation on Fat Freddy Scat (or perhaps the other way around). --Papadisc 9:51, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC-5)

That is just word play, it's absurd to claim that is his real name. James Fryer 14:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Rick Norwood 19:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I haven't looked at this discussion in a while, but I'd say that unless you have confirmation from Mr. Shelton that it was "just word play", then the example I provided is, afaik, the only place where he says he has a name. I also don't believe that any of the strips ever state that he doesn't have a name, despite the fact that he's almost universally known as "Fat Freddy's Cat." I submit that if you own a cat, you probably don't have a clue what his (or her) name is. You might know what you call him/her but you don't know what the cat calls him/her-self. Papadisc (talk) 23:58, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No. The burden is on the editor to demonstrate context by citing secondary or tertiary sources. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:23, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Dealer McDope
The "Dealer McDope" listed as a regular character is actually an allusion to the character of that name created by Dave Sheridan (b. 1942, d. 1982) for the Rip Off Press title Mother's Oats Comix. IslandGyrl 14:12, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That does explain the rarity of his appearances in FFB. —Tamfang 00:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

inspiration for the characters of Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers
it has been said that inspiration for the characters in Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers were people associated with Texas rock bands of the sixties. i do not know if this is true.

http://garagepunk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=89420&sid=9d7cfbd7aedd455a137167ab405127f0

 * I've reverted your addition of this to the article as a) as you say yourself, you don't know if it's true and the only evidence is an forum on the Internet, and b) you deleted another section of the article. --Lancevortex 08:56, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Freaks, not Hippies
The Freak Brothers are not hippies. They do not resemble hippies. They are Freaks, dropouts, oddballs, outcasts, losers, heads, whatever but not one of them is a hippy. Where are their hippy credentials? Hippies are not the only ppl who smoke pot.

Thanx.

 * I can think of several places in the comics where the FFB are referred to as "hippies". This is actually a fuzzy area; the current article claims that "freaks" and "hippies" are synonymous, but this is not universally accepted. Frank Zappa, for example, made a distinction between the two: he counted the Mothers of Invention as freaks, but he definitely disliked hippies (listen to some of the songs on "We're Only In It For The Money".) --24.58.14.1 23:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Freewheeling Franklin was once referred to as a hippie by a redneck who was spoiling for a fight with him. 83.104.46.71 (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

before the collections
Perhaps some mention should be made of the original appearance of these strips? They first came out in magazines such as High Times in the late 1960s, and only later were they compiled into the R.O.P. anthologies mentioned here. Some previously published strips have not appeared in these anthologies.

Phineas' last name
In one of the comics, a reporter asks Phineas about his political aspirations (the strip in which he communes with nature and sets fire to his clothes and the forest) and refers to him as "Mr. Freek". This is a continuity drop.

Phineas's last name is Phreak - Phineas T. Freakears was a false name he used whilst running for sherriff in "Grass Roots"

 * Do any two stories give consistent surnames? —Tamfang (talk) 19:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Nerds now called Nurdes
I first saw this expression in The Freak Bros Comics in 1975 approx. Ernest —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.245.221.79 (talk) 15:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Move the title, please
The title should be moved to The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers since the article The is officially included in the original covers... Kintaro (talk) 08:37, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Comparison with Herge?
"Shelton's striving for accuracy and attention to detail have earned him comparisons with Hergé."

Is there a source for this comparison? I can't see in any way how this artist's style is any similar to Herge's ligne claire, but it seems to be a bit comparable with Andre Franquin. Maybe someone mixed that up? -- 188.193.35.96 (talk) 21:45, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I think whoever wrote it meant he was striving for accuracy in the writing, rather than the artwork. Herge was known for going to great pains to get the details of his locales right (at least, starting with The Blue Lotus).  I don't know enough about the Freak Brothers to know if that's a valid statement or not, but whether it is or not, it needs:
 * to be cited, and
 * to have the statement given context. Was it refering to the art? The story?  Something else?
 *  C üRly T üRkey  Talk Contribs 03:31, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It was me who added the statement, back in about 2004 before I was aware of the need for sourcing. I think I read the comment on a web page somewhere. My opinion now is that it should be deleted as not having a reliable source. Lancevortex (talk) 17:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

"For a counterculture production, the standard of artwork is exceptionally high"
This is an unsupportable opinion. Underground comics tend to have a *higher* standard of artwork than mainstream comics. Just match up Shelton, Crumb, Mavrides, Jaxon, Crumb, Rick Griffin, Justin Green, Art Spiegelman, artists on Fantagraphics and Drawn and Quarterly, and so on, to newspaper comics and superhero comics. Newspaper comics in particular have steadily declined in quality of artwork. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.177.117 (talk) 23:56, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, to be fair, underground comics began when Walt Kelly and Hal Foster were still going strong! —Tamfang (talk) 05:22, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

"The Freak Brothers live a slapstick existence reminiscent of the best silent comedies."
This is pure opinion. Every part of it is debateable at best. Slapstick humor is used but not central to the comics. How good the slapstick is merely the opinion of the writer of that phrase. The claim that the slapstick humor in the FFFB is reminiscent of silent comedies is also just unsupportable opinion.66.25.177.117 (talk) 00:01, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Agreed. —Tamfang (talk) 05:19, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Fat Freddy's comics and stories
I have a comic book that is not listed in the page: Fat Freddy's Comics & Stories No.1 (Collector's Item), Pub. Knockabout, UK, 1983, ISBN 086166 011 0. Not for sale in USA or Canada, so I don't know if editions got published there.

The page Fat Freddy redirects to this article, so I guess the book belongs here. But it does not belong in the mainstream list of titles, so how should it be added? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I remember possessing such a thing, bought in either Illinois or California; presumably put out by Rip Off Press. —Tamfang (talk) 05:17, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Origins in a short film
It could be notable that Shelton has said that (no matter if that's a joke right there or not) the origins of the Freak Brothers was when one night, he saw a double feature with the Marx Brothers and The Three Stooges and he walked out and thought he could do something like that. He did a 5-minute short film called Texas Hippies March on the Capitol and did a comic to promote the short film. But it turned out that people liked the comic much more, so he kept the characters in the comic and stuck to that, and that was the birth of the Freak Brothers. --80.187.109.151 (talk) 14:07, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Phineas's nose
At one point I added to the physical description of Phineas that his nose bears more than a passing resemblance to a [marijuana] joint, but this was subsequently edited out. Surely this is as apparent as, say, the nose on your face? (OK, horrible pun). Does anyone mind if I put it back in?Partnerfrance (talk) 20:28, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That's personal POV and not allowed. If you find some notable cultural critic saying that and can cite him or her with a quote, we can footnote it that way. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:55, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

 * That is a fair point and I will not make the change, although I have to admit that it seems to me to be no less clear than saying that Freewheelin' Franklin wears cowboy boots or that Phineas is the typical personification of a left-wing radical, both of which statements are contained in the article. Sometimes "the thing speaks for itself".  But I will abide by the POV rule!  Thanks.Partnerfrance (talk) 16:58, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/San Pardo

San Pardo Cathedral- Architectural detail closeup

The picture shows exactly why many consider the Cathedral of San Pardo one of the finest examples of early Gothic architecture in Italy, or even Europe. It also shows another side of the Cathedral. Generally, photographers focus on the 13-pane rose-window, thought to be the only one in the world. The other architectural details such as the fine carving and statuary tend to be overshadowed. Although the image only depicts a small part of the building, one must keep in mind that the subject isn't really the cathedral, but rather its constituent parts. The image is used in the article Larino. It would obviously be better suited for an article about the cathedral, but currently, that is part of the main entry for Larino. I don't know who took the picture. I found it on the Italian Wiki. - Larineso 16:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Henry J. Kaiser-class replenishment oiler

The Henry J. Kaiser class is an American class of eighteen fleet replenishment oilers which began construction in August 1984. The class comprises fifteen oilers which are operated by Military Sealift Command to provide underway replenishment of fuel to United States Navy combat ships and jet fuel for aircraft aboard aircraft carriers at sea.

Twelve of the Kaisers are not double-hulled like most modern tankers. The class will be replaced by the John Lewis-class replenishment oiler.

One ship, operated by the United States from 1987 to 1996, was sold to Chile in 2009 and commissioned into the Chilean Navy in 2010. Two ships were scrapped in 2011 while still incomplete.

Technical overview
There are stations on both sides of each ship for underway replenishment of fuel and stores. The ships in this class have a small capacity to carry and transfer fresh and frozen foods as well as other materials, and have two dry cargo transfer rigs.

USNS Patuxent (T-AO-201), USNS Laramie (T-AO-203), and USNS Rappahannock (T-AO-204) differ from the other 15 ships, in having double hulls to meet the requirements of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Hull separation is 6 ft at the sides and 6 ft on the bottom. This resulted in a 12% reduction in cargo capacity.

Construction program
The circumstances of the construction program were convoluted and it is worthwhile to spell them out here. The original contract, for T-AO 187, was awarded to Avondale Industries, (Avondale), in November 1982. This contract included options for T-AOs 188, 189 and 190, which were exercised in January 1983, (T-AO 188) and November 1983, (T-AOs 189 and 190). A second-source contract, for T-AOs 191 and 192, was awarded to Pennsylvania Shipbuilding Company, (Penn Ship), in May 1985.

This contract included options for T-AOs 194 and 196, which were never exercised. After Penn Ship began to have cash flow problems, the Navy transferred these options from Penn Ship's contract to Avondale's contract and exercised them in June 1988. Additional options on Avondale's contract were executed in June 1985 for T-AO 193, in February 1986 for T-AO 195, in February 1987 for T-AO 197, in June 1988 for T-AO 198, in October 1988 for T-AOs 200, 202 and 204, and in March 1989 for T-AOs 199, 201 and 203.

The Navy's contract with Penn Ship for T-AOs 191 and 192 was terminated before the ships were complete. A new contract was executed with Tampa Shipyards, Inc., of Tampa FL, a division of the American Ship Building Company. This company should not be confused with Tampa Shipbuilding Company, (TASCO), which was a totally different entity, at a different location, long gone by 1989.

Disputes over corrective construction and materials costs between the U.S. Navy and Tampa Shipyards resulted in termination of this contract in 1993, when T-AO 191 was said to be 95% complete and T-AO 192 84% complete. The Navy then determined that the ships were no longer needed as oilers, and undertook a study of the feasibility of converting them to ammunition ships. This study concluded that such a conversion was cost-prohibitive and the ships were placed in long-term storage in an incomplete condition. They were sold for recycling in 2011.

Naming
The class is named for its lead unit, USNS Henry J. Kaiser (T-AO-187), which is named for the American industrialist and shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser (1882–1967). The first nine ships were named for American shipbuilders, inventors, naval architects, and aeronautical engineers who played important roles in the history of the U.S. Navy. The tenth to eighteenth ships were named after American rivers, which is a more traditional naming convention for U.S. Navy oilers.

Operations
In U.S. Navy service, the ships serve in a non-commissioned status in the Military Sealift Command, with primarily civilian crews, and as such, they are prefixed as "USNS" instead of "USS", as commissioned ships are. After joining the fleet, the 16 completed ships all saw active service between 1986 and 1996, when USNS Andrew J. Higgins (T-AO-190) became the first unit of the class to be laid up. Since then, some of the others have also spent periods out of service in reserve or in a limited operational status.

Foreign transfer
Andrew J. Higgins never re-entered U.S. service after being laid up in 1996. She was sold to Chile in 2009 and was commissioned into the Chilean Navy in 2010 as Almirante Montt.

Techniques de Randonnée Équestre de Compétition

TREC, short for the French Techniques de Randonnée Équestre de Compétition is an equestrian discipline designed to test horse and rider. With origins in France, the sport has spread through Europe, and was introduced to the UK by the British Horse Society (BHS) in 1998. The sport is now known as British TREC and is run by TREC GB. TREC competitions consist of three separate events (phases) - mounted orienteering, a demonstration of control of the horse's paces and an obstacle course - all completed over the course of one or two days, and points scored, with the highest scoring being declared the overall event winner.

Phase One: Parcours d'Orientation et de Régularité (POR)
The first phase consists of mounted orienteering where riders copy a route from a marked map onto their own map, and follow this route at a speed determined by the organisers. The length of the route varies according to the level of the competition, ranging from 10 km at beginner levels up to 45 km at championship levels. The complexity of the navigating and challenge of the terrain also increases at higher level competitions, demanding greater skill. There are checkpoints along the route, which are not marked on the map, these are designed to ensure that the route is ridden accurately and at the correct speed and that horses have sufficient rest along the route. the speed is changed at each checkpoint too, so that it is suitable for the terrain of the next section. There are also unstaffed ticket points on the route where the rider must stamp their own record card before proceeding.

A number of items of essential kit must be carried or worn:
 * Hard hat (to the current standard as listed in the British TREC Rulebook, available from TREC GB)
 * Rider's ID
 * High-viz clothing
 * Compass
 * Map-marking pens
 * Torch
 * Headcollar and leadrope
 * Waterproofs
 * Basic first aid kit
 * Tag attached to the saddle (with competitor number, horse details and organiser's telephone number on in case horse and rider become separated)
 * Whistle
 * Emergency farrier's tools and hoof-boot (compulsory for level three and above only)

Riders start the POR with 240 points, and the aim is to complete the phase with as many points remaining as possible. Penalties can be deducted in a number of ways including:
 * Missing a checkpoint (50 penalties)
 * Missing a 'good' ticket point or finding a 'bad' ticket point (30 penalties)
 * Arrival at a checkpoint or staffed ticket via an incorrect route (30 penalties)
 * Finding a checkpoint not on the intended route (30 penalties)
 * Variations from the optimum speed between each checkpoint (1 penalty per full minute over or under ideal time)

Phase Two: Maîtrise des Allures (MA)
The MA phase is designed to demonstrate that a rider has a high degree of control over the horse, first in canter and then in walk. The rider must canter the horse slowly along a marked corridor, which is 2-4 m wide and up to 150 m long, and then turn around and walk the horse back quickly. There are up to 60 points available on this stage, depending on how slowly the horse canters and how fast he walks. If the horse leaves the corridor or breaks into another pace, the score is zero for that pace.

Phase Three: Parcours en Terrain Varie (PTV)
The PTV is a series of obstacles, designed to test the obedience, confidence, courage and balance of the horse and the correctness of the rider's aids. The course consists of up to 16 obstacles, to be tackled in a certain order and within a set time. The obstacles are formalisations of things that may be encountered on a ride in an unfamiliar location and may include jumps, ditches, water, steps and dismounted tasks.

There are up to 10 points available for each obstacle (totalling 160 available) these points are broken down into: Penalties (from -3 to -1 for carelessness, brutality or dangerous riding) can also be deducted from the score as appropriate.
 * Effectiveness (maximum 7 points)
 * Style/Gait (from -2 to +3)
 * Some types of obstacles are scored on the Time the horse and rider perform the specified task for

If the time allowed is exceeded, time penalties are deducted at a rate of 1 penalty for every 4 seconds (or period of 4 seconds started) over the time. A maximum of 30 points may be lost for time penalties. For example, a rider completing the course 6 seconds over the time limit would lose 2 time penalties.

There are some stipulations about tack for the PTV, such as the wearing of horse and rider ID and the use of a headcollar and leadrope if the horse has a running martingale. Whips and spurs must meet the criteria in the British TREC Rulebook.

Levels and classes available
TREC competitions are run at a number of levels, ranging from 1 (the easiest) to 4 (the most technically demanding). The levels can be further split into A (Advanced) and B (Beginner) sub levels as well as the level itself. Championships and league competitions are run by TREC GB for all 4 main levels and also Level 2A.

Riders may compete alone at all levels or in a pair up to level 3 (level 4 pairs classes are run very occasionally but there is no league for level 4 pairs and it is not run at championships). Pairs ride the POR together and then complete the MA and PTV separately, and their scores are added together to determine the final placings.

International competition
FITE run European and World Championships for senior and young riders (young riders are those under 21) on a periodic basis (usually one international competition every 2 years, alternating between Europeans and Worlds). Full details of dates and locations for international competitions may be found on the FITE website (link below). Young riders may also compete in the Duo class, which is run in a similar way to UK pairs classes.

TREC variations
Several variations of TREC exist, catering for riders new to the sport, wishing to concentrate on particular aspects or different times of the year. These include
 * Arena TREC - run in the winter and comprising the MA and PTV phases only
 * 10:10 competitions - a shortened version of the sport comprising a 10km POR route, 100m MA course and 10 obstacle PTV
 * Versatile TREC Horse - similar to 10:10 TREC but with a short obedience test done in a dressage arena (but marked on accuracy of movements rather than how the horse is going, as in dressage) instead of the POR phase

Full details of all the variations of TREC recognised in the UK can be found in the British TREC Rulebook, available from TREC GB.

TREC Clubs
A number of TREC clubs exist in the UK. They run training events and competitions and are an important element of the social side of the sport. A full list of TREC clubs, the geographical areas they cover and their contact details can be found on the TREC GB website (link below).

Kevin Frankish

Kevin Earl Frankish is a Canadian television presenter and media personality. He co-hosted Breakfast Television Toronto on Citytv Toronto from 1991 to 2018 and now teaches journalism at Seneca College.

Biography
Frankish was born to Allan and Vivianne Frankish at The Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, British Columbia. He grew up in North Bay, Ontario and attended St. Joseph-Scollard Hall Catholic Secondary School. In 1981 he got a part-time job with CKNY-CHNB TV in North Bay as a weekend camera and reporter. He attended Canadore College and received a diploma in radio and television broadcasting. In 1983, he joined the staff at CKVR-TV in Barrie, Ontario. At CKVR, he began a practice of ending every broadcast with a wink, his way of saying "hi" to his wife Beth (married in 1988). He continued signing-off with a wink for the entirety of his career.

In 1991, Frankish joined Citytv (then CKVR's sister-station) as the traffic reporter and eventually became one of the main hosts of Breakfast Television Toronto (alongside Dina Pugliese). For many years, he also handled the overnight CityPulse updates, anchoring them directly from the assignment desk, even controlling the camera himself. After suffering a panic attack on the air in 2006, Frankish publicly discussed his panic attacks and struggle with depression with viewers and has since become a very active advocate for mental health issues.

In 2012 Frankish was awarded the Queen's Jubilee Medal for his community service, particularly with Easter Seals, an organization he has worked with for 40 years.

In 2018 parent company Rogers Communications suddenly terminated his employment with Citytv. Frankish announced he was leaving Breakfast Television Toronto, effective June 1, 2018. In his announcement he mentioned, "Many of you who started watching me as kids, come up to me now with kids of your own. Some of you may remember when I proposed to my wife on air. I have shared with you the birth of all four of my children. When I had that panic attack on air, I shared that with you and we have since gone on a journey of my battle with depression together. Many of you in turn have shared so many of your stories. We are truly family." He continues to work in media as a public speaker, content creator and is a journalism professor at Seneca College at York University. He runs Kevin Frankish Media, a media content and creation company and has a YouTube channel. He is also on the board of directors of St. John Ambulance Ontario Division, still hosts the annual Easter Seals Telethon on CBC TV and works with several organizations helping those with mental health issues and homelessness.

Frankish hosted an afternoon show on 105.9-The Region with another former CityTV personality, Ann Rohmer. He has left broadcast radio and now works to advocate mental health.

Personal life
In March 2018 Frankish and his wife Beth decided on an amicable separation. He now lives in Toronto. During their 30 years of marriage they had four children. Frankish's father passed away in 2015. His 90-year-old mother still lives in his adopted hometown of North Bay.

Texas State Highway OSR

State Highway OSR (SH OSR) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas.

The route is the section of the Old San Antonio Road in east-central Texas that is maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation. While most of the original Old San Antonio Road (that is, the section of the road that is not private property) follows State Highway 21, State Highway OSR provides a routing close to the original alignment of the road near and around the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area.

"OSR" is the only state highway in Texas with a completely alphabetical designation and one of only two where the designation begins with a letter (Texas State Highway NASA Road 1 being the other with a beginning letter).

Route description
OSR begins at an intersection of SH 21 just east of the Brazos River in Brazos County. It crosses U.S. Highway 190 (US 190) and SH 6 north of Bryan. Just west of this intersection, it begins to run along the county line between Brazos County and Robertson County. Upon crossing the Navasota River, OSR continues as the county line, this time between Leon County and Madison County. It passes through Normangee and crosses Interstate 45 (I-45). East of I-45, OSR crosses solely into Madison County and ends at Midway at another junction with SH 21.

History
SH OSR was originally designated on September 17, 1929, as Texas State Highway 938, to run from Midway to SH 6 (now also US 190) in Benchley, and a second section was designated from SH 21 northeast of Giddings to SH 29 (now US 183) north of Lockhart. On July 15, 1935, the section from SH 44 (now US 77) in Lincoln to SH 21 became part of SH 21. On April 19, 1938, the section from Lincoln to Bastrop also became part of SH 21. On March 26, 1942, a section from US 81 (now I-35) in San Marcos east 4.4 mi was added (creating a gap), and the designation was changed to SH OSR. On April 28, 1942, the road was extended from Benchley to SH 21 near the Brazos River. On August 2, 1943, the section from SH 29 to 4.4 mi east of San Marcos was added, closing the gap. Later that day, the section from Bastrop to San Marcos became part of SH 21.

It's Sedbergh bot Sedburgh

Agreed! I wrote the Sedbergh page, and managed to spell the name of the town correctly, except for the title! The content of both pages together would be a good page for a town of its (small) size.

I've merged the text from this article into the Sedbergh one and changed this to a REDIRECT page incase of any links here. --Achmelvic 16:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me there is absolutely no information here that isn't in As Maine goes, so goes the country, making this highly redundant. Shouldn't it be a redirect? -R. fiend 16:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is such a great book. Maybe there should be a list here of similar travel-city-autobio logs? Or a list of strange things that happen(ed) on all the various streetcorners of Portland?

Mousey

Mousey (released as Cat and Mouse in theaters and on UK television) is a 1974 Canadian thriller action drama film directed by Daniel Petrie, and starring Kirk Douglas, Jean Seberg and John Vernon.

Although made for television, it was released theatrically outside of the U.S. In London, it was shown as part of a double feature with Craze.

Plot
In Halifax, Novia Scotia, biology teacher George Anderson (Douglas) earns the nickname "Mousey" from his students when he is unable to dissect a frog. However, when he learns that the child that his pregnant wife (Seberg) is expecting is not his, he follows her to Montreal, where he plans to kill her and her lover.

Production
Mousey was filmed on location in Montreal, Canada and at Pinewood Studios in England. Filming commenced in November 1973.

Reception
The film received mixed reviews. Steven H. Scheuer was negative, saying that, "It's complicated and not very interesting;" and the Los Angeles Times wrote that "Mousey seems to have been doomed from the start." Leonard Maltin, however, reviewed it positively, calling it "tightly made" and praising Douglas as "wonderfully sinister," and Amis du film called it "a good 'suspense' film," although noting a lack of originality in its plot. Monthly Film Bulletin called it "a thriller with some pretensions to psychological depth."

Legacy
Mousey has since been re-shown on television and released on VHS, resulting in blogs noting the film's rising cult status.
