[TechB] is using his mind to control fire. Well, what he’s really doing is using a Mindflex to control a lighter. He’s using the Arduino Brain Library to read data from the head-mounted EEG and sending commands to his own fire control system. Said system is composed of a cigarette lighter and a servo motor. The motor connects to the gas regulator on the lighter, opening it up when you concentrate and closing it when your mind wanders. The result is a higher flame to show more organized brain function. The only problem with the prototype is the burns you’ll get on your thumb from depressing the lighter’s valve while trying to get your thoughts in order.

A Michigan motorist stopped at a gas station and used a lighter to kill a spider on his gas tank, which resulted in a blaze that quickly engulfed the gas pump and the man's car. The damage to the gas station was contained to one pump, which was destroyed.

This Godzilla butane lighter is a nice solid piece of metal from the late 80's. Pull his arm down and watch out as the big guy spits out a tounge of hot flame. Not only that but his ruby eyes shine and he makes a weird noise. He stands a full 2.5" high.

This is the shocking moment a car and two of its passengers go up in a ball of flames after a young man flicks a lighter. Taken from a camera mounted on the dashboard, the footage shows how one of the men sits in the front, seemingly at the wheel, while a second sits in the back. The passenger in the back appears to flick a lighter, at which point a loud noise of something igniting is heard, as flames rip through the whole car. One of the men is seen with flames covering his entire head, while the other appears to leap out of the car just moments after his hair is lit. At this point, the camera is knocked down.

Bruno ramps up the pressure as Guy starts to lose it more and more and Granger plays it well – not as overboard as his turn in ‘Rope’ and believable throughout. It’s a great series of scenes, Bruno appears tennis courtside and is the only non moving head in the crowd, his tiepin then giving him away to Anne. When Bruno sees Barbara, Hitchcock pulls out a wonderful superimposition of Guy’s lighter in her Miriam-like glasses (the fairground music fading in), cutting to a telling profile shot of the murderer, his expression noted by Anne. This is top drawer stuff, absolutely gripping and inventive – beautifully performed and shot and executed.

One of most horrifying fires I've ever been to was started by a child playing with a lighter that looked like a toy underneath his brother's bed. The boys, who were 8 and 2, I believe, were playing under the bed. It was dark, so the older boy lit a lighter so they could see better. The bed caught on fire, and the older boy backed up from underneath the bed and ran. He was scared- he'd started a fire! He knew he'd get in trouble... so he didn't tell. When his brother's screams got their 8-month-pregnant mother's attention, the bed was fully engulfed in flames. Without regard to her own safety, the mother rushed into the room, dove under the bed, and pulled his burning body out of the fire. She herself was on fire too. I met this family in the burn unit at two different hospitals. The 2 year old was at Children's Hospital, and the mother at neighboring University Hospital. The 2 year old somehow survived; the mother, and the unborn baby, eventually died. Fires like that are why I started teaching fire safety classes for Red Cross. It was a tragic experience, but not unique. It happens every day, all over the country. Next time you go to a convenient store, take the time to notice what is being sold at child's-eye level at the register, and you'll find candy... and novelty lighters. I guarantee it. And yes... every picture featured below is a lighter.

A 14-year-old boy was killed instantly after stepping on to an electrified rail line to pick up a cigarette lighter. Elliott Ives, who was wearing wet clothes, stepped off the platform at a railway station and onto the live rail. An inquest heard the boy and his friends, Jack Lindsay and Jordon Hunt, had just been swimming in a nearby marina. There were more than 20 lighters on the track and Elliott, of Southsea, Hants, and Jack decided to grab one. Police investigating his death could not explain why there were so many lighters strewn across the track at Emsworth train station, West Sussex. Elliott's mother Michaela Nichols, 38, said her son could not understand dangers. "You could tell him something and two minutes later he would do it again," she said. "He was a typical boy, he never kept still and was full of life."

He visited Hangzhou on Saturday and got into a bus packed with tourists near Lingyin Temple. Video footage shown by CCTV showed him pouring flammable liquid and set it on fire. Bao is from the northwestern province of Gansu and has worked part-time in other cities, including Lanzhou and Guangzhou. He has had almost no contact with his family in his home village, villagers told police.

p.s. Hey. Like I mentioned yesterday, tomorrow and on Thursday you'll get p.s.-less rerun posts, and then I'll be back, and the posts will be new again, starting on Friday. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Oh, 'Parade', that makes more sense. I couldn't remember a spot in 'Playtime' where there was that much vocalizing. Gotcha. The film I'm in: Paul Otchakovsky-Laurens is both the publisher of the great French house Editions POL, where my books are published in France, and a filmmaker. He has made one film, 'Sablé-sur-Sarthe, Sartre', and he's making his second film right now. Both of the films are loosely autobiographical. The scene I'm in is a recreation of a famous, in France, incident where one of POL's authors/books, as well as Editions POL itself, were sued years ago by Jean-Marie Le Pen for slander. There was a highly publicized court case at the time, and POL won. In the film, I'll play one of the members of the jury in the trial. ** H, Hi. The last music gig post was on October 22nd, so not so long ago. The topic of your essay is mouth-watering to me, New York School poets dedicatee that I am. That's exciting. My eyes are better, thank you. Editing the transcript/interview, which is what I've been doing and still am doing, tires the eyes in a different way than transcribing, it seems, because my eyes are relatively clear. I take vitamins every day. Blueberries, no, but what a great idea. Thanks! ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben, Yeah, a brief (?) foray into techno by Mr. Haswell, and how weird and unexpectedly fitting, eh? An early happy birthday! But I'll be back in time to wish you a timely one. Rachel Maclean seems to be becoming a real thing. I saw a bunch of her work displayed at FIAC a week or so ago. ** Steevee, Hi. Ha, that's a challenging and appealing idea right there, but I'd have to like something by JB and 1D, and I don't think I ever have. Poptimism Day! No, that's a great idea. And what a great term. What about you? Do you feel yourself capable of curating a Poptimism gig? I'm serious. You could just send me a list of the songs you want in it, and I'll take care of everything else. ** Schlix, Hi, Uli! Oh, guess what? I got this really great email from Puce Mary a couple of days ago saying hi and suggesting a possible collaboration, and she mentioned you as having told her I was into her work, which seems to have opened whatever floodgates, so thank you a lot for that! It's a funny Haswell record. Very tight and kind of flat in this interesting way. Life's nuts on my end at the moment, yeah, but good nuts. Lucky you with Wire! I'm getting my earplugs prepped for Sunn0)))'s big gig at Palais de Tokyo later this month. Stephen has pre-warned me that, due in part to the weird acoustics in the PdT, it's going to be an especially ear-destroying gig. ** Keaton, Hi. I managed to scare you? Cool. Completely a coincidence, I swear. I feel like a bag too. Interesting. What's in your bag? Hitchcockian ... that sounds really hard. But I like the sound. Huh. Oh, sure, Black Angels. I haven't to them in a long time. But now I will. Cool. ** Bill, Hi, B. Yeah, that Why Be track is kind of distinct for them. I like them in general but that one was the big seducer for me. Enjoy tomorrow. Veterans Day, wow, yeah, I remember that. Mid-week holidays are best and such an increasing rarity. ** Misanthrope, Hi, George. No, I can imagine, on the hiring thing. Jean-Lic teaches at a very good university here, but, again, we're talking here. That TV 'psychiatrist' sounds like a gaseous-brained, scaredy cat, conservatives-baiting, 'say anything to get a reaction'-style, very un-psychiatric moron. What a fuck head. Mm, don't know about the gifs thing. I might have gone as far as I can go now. That's what I'm trying to find out. It's not so much that changing the placement and design would open new avenues, I don't think. That would just make the viewers' eyes move differently, which, in theory, sounds a bit like a gimmick move. I don't know. I'm in a thinking and wondering and testing phase. ** Paul, Paul! Man about town! Man among men! Paul! Oh, cool. Head-clearing is a great effect. I'm very happy to hear that. Yeah, right now I'm going technical on the gif work to see if I can make it open up more. I definitely learned a couple of things from the rhythm experiment, but mostly, I think, about finessing. I'm hoping to discover a chasm somewhere. There are so many ways in which the gifs are fascinating, and there's so much mysteriousness and promise in the different effects that you can create with them, but I'm not sure how deep the mysteries are, or how flexible, I mean. The blockiness of gifs, singular and plural, makes this heavy frame around the work that might be too fort-like to transgress or something. I'm not sure. I'm curious. I don't want to give up on the gif work yet because it's such a pleasure to do. But that's not enough ultimately if I want to make exciting things with them. And that's the thing. Blah, blah, I don't know. Good in a slowish way sounds A-okay. 'Micro sludge work': yes, I know what you mean, of course. Awesomeness to see you! ** Okay. Lighters. Wow, yeah, that says it all, I suppose. The blog will see you tomorrow, and I will see you on Friday.

He’s using the Arduino Brain Library to read data from the head-mounted EEG and sending commands to his own fire control system. Said system is composed of a cigarette lighter and a servo motor. The motor connects to the gas regulator on the lighter, opening it up when you concentrate and closing it when your mind wanders. The result is a higher flame to show more organized brain function. The only problem with the prototype is the burns you’ll get on your thumb from depressing the lighter’s valve while trying to get your thoughts in order.

Enjoy tomorrow. Veterans Day, wow, yeah, I remember that. Mid-week holidays are best and such an increasing rarity. ** Misanthrope, Hi, George. No, I can imagine, on the hiring thing. Jean-Lic teaches at a very good university here, but, again, we're talking here. That TV 'psychiatrist' sounds like a gaseous-brained, scaredy cat, conservatives-baiting, 'say anything to get a reaction'-style, very un-psychiatric moron. What a fuck head. Mm, don't know about the gifs thing. I might have gone as far as I can go now. That's what I'm trying to find out. It's not so much that changing the placement and design would open new avenues, I don't think. That would just make the viewers' eyes move differently, which, in theory, sounds a bit like a gimmick move. I don't know. I'm in a thinking and wondering and testing phase. ** Paul, Paul! Man about town! Man among men! Paul! Oh, cool. Head-clearing is a great effect. I'm very happy to hear that. Yeah, right now I'm going technical on the gif work to see if I can make it open up more. I definitely learned a couple of things from the rhythm experiment, but mostly, I think, about finessing. I'm hoping to discover a chasm somewhere. There are so many ways in which the gifs are fascinating, and there's so much mysteriousness and promise in the different effects that you can create with them, but I'm not sure how deep the mysteries are, or how flexible, I mean. The blockiness of gifs, singular and plural, makes this heavy frame around the work that might be too fort-like to transgress or something. I'm not sure. I'm curious. I don't want to give up on the gif work yet because it's such a pleasure to do. But that's not enough ultimately if I want to make exciting things with them. And that's the thing. Blah, blah, I don't know. Good in a slowish way sounds A-okay. 'Micro sludge work': yes, I know what you mean, of course. Awesomeness to see you! ** Okay. Lighters. Wow, yeah, that says it all, I suppose. The blog will see you tomorrow, and I will see you on Friday.
