 Flaming
Flaming is always somewhat controversial -- the primary reason for this being that it is rather a randomly controlled process, and as a result, it is all too easy to damage fibers below the surface.
Additionally, as flaming is usually thought of as a "cosmetic" step, many guys then subject the strips to a regular regimen of heat treating, thus, risking further damage to the fibers.
Many makers have believed that flaming (and heat treating) is entirely detrimental to the cane, since the "toasting" effect is clearly visible, and since that effect is concentrated on the most critical fibers.

 Pictographs, Quoting, and Flaming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This study examines the nature of flaming (a form of hostile communicative behavior) in computer media by exploring, in the context of five escalating levels of argumentative message, the effects of the pictographs and quotations (which are commonly found in electronic messages) on the perception of flaming in messages.
The relatively simple operationalization of flaming that emerges from this study (a flame is a message that is antagonistic toward a previous message) raises questions of just how distinctive flaming is. Antagonistic messages occur in many contexts, and it is hardly unusual for such messages to be regarded as undesirable by their recipients.
Flaming, it would appear, is ultimately a well publicized artifact of a set of limited experimental manipulations that does not generalize to electronic media as broadly as was first thought.

 Paul McCartney : Flaming Pie - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A largely acoustic collection of simple songs, Flaming Pie is direct and unassuming, and at its best, it recalls the homely charm of McCartney and Ram.
But when he works on a small scale, as on the waltzing "The Song We Were Singing," "Calico Skies," "Great Day," and "Little Willow," he's gently affecting, and the moderately rocking pop of "The World Tonight" and "Young Boy" is more ingratiating than the pair of aimless bluesy jams with Steve Miller.
Even with the filler, which should be expected on any McCartney album, Flaming Pie is one of his most successful latter-day efforts, mainly because McCartney is at his best when he doesn't try so hard and lets his effortless melodic gifts rise to the surface.
