A flame is a self-sustaining oxidizing chemical reaction most often producing carbon dioxide and gaseous water. It consists of reacting gases emitting heat and light, which is dependent on the chemical composition of the burning flame. In many cases such as burning organic matter like wood or incomplete combustion of gas, incandescent solid particles (soot) produce the familiar red-orange 'fire' color light. This light has a continuous spectrum. Complete combustion of gas has a dim blue color due to the emission of single wavelength r ...

In Flames began when three members of Ceremonial Oath — Jesper Strömblad, Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström — quit the band in order to start a musical project of their own. They recorded a short demo which was sent to a few recording labels. The owner of Wrong Again Records thought the band had promise, and soon closed a recording deal with them. From this deal surfaced In Flames' first album - entitled Lunar Strain - which relied on death grunts for vocals and aggressive instrumental work, at times combined with acoustic sect ...

"One of the most amazing attributes of the new age is going to come right out the cribs of thousands of homes all over the world. The new children of the "indigo" color have arrived in mass and are already among us. Sometimes I think this is what has been predicted as "the mass landing"! I have also heard them called Children of the Blue Ray, the Blue Race, and Children of the Violet Flame." The article by Lee Carroll is taken from the Kryon Quarterly newsletter, Issue 6, 1997.

Sometimes, serious academic or technical disagreements online are described casually as "flame wars" even when the major participants are making useful and informative points and, largely, not flaming. This may have to do with the degree to which observers identify emotionally with the sides of the debate, or see esteemed leaders or role-models representing their own points of view powerfully. For example, the Usenet discussion between Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds on microkernel versus monolithic kernel operating system desi ...

A lamp in general is any device that produces light. Originally, this meant a source of light from an open flame. The word now commonly refers to an electric lamp that sits on a table, desk, or on the floor. It refers specifically to the light bulb (or tube) itself, hence "relamping" refers to the replacement of only the light source in a light fixture. For communication between ships, a signal lamp was commonly used. See lighting and light fixture for more information. ...
