Here are some more information for Inferno Helmet:
A man who works with his hands is a laborer;
a man who works with his hands and his mind is a craftsman;
a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
~ Thomas Aquinas
In 1963 I began the reluctant study of Scholastic Philosophy as set out by Thomas Aquinas. The thirteenth century Dominican monk interpreted what Aristotle had to say on the subject of philosophy and how to understand the world and our experience of it. I still remember how Aquinas defined art, "right reason about something to be made." That made about as little sense to me as the rest of his writings.
Preparing for this column, I reviewed his writing to see if I had been overly harsh in my judgment of him. In the process I ran across the quote with which I started above. Finally I had discovered a bit of Thomistic thinking which made sense to me.
I have been puzzling on a daily basis over the meaning of art since reading a newspaper column a few weeks ago about "bad art." Do I believe in such a thing? Do I believe in Santa Claus? The Easter Bunny? Does it matter?
I also recalled a recent conversation with an artist at the GO ART! Orleans County Artist Trail. Admiring his work gave me a sense of joy and peace. I asked if he had considered exhibiting at one of the GO ART! Galleries. He looked a little surprised. After a little discussion, the truth came out. Standing amid his paintings in a tent out in the country, he admitted that he wasn't sure his art was good enough for a gallery.
So what makes art good enough? When first exposed to art materials, children produce wonderful images of how the world looks to them. As they are taught the "rules" of art, their spontaneity often evaporates and they revert to what we think of as childish art. Critics have standards by which they judge the quality of art. Galleries have standards for what they will display. Patrons like some art, are indifferent to some works and dislike others. Yet critics, galleries and patrons don't agree among themselves or each other on what art is or what makes it good or bad. Many artists, musicians and writers only found recognition long after they died.
I have started asking artists why they do what they do. Jen Scott said she uses her art to express her emotions in a therapeutic way. Doug Domedian uses his photographs to show people what is out there in nature. There are probably as many motivations for producing art as there are artists. I guess it is up to each of us to decide what art is and whether it is "good" or "bad."

Seeing The Invisible With Infrared Cameras
Every day, cameras capture some of the most breathtaking sights on earth. The ripple of water as it cascades down cliffs, a fire engine-red rose in full bloom, a leaf floating on a puddle - these images are preserved in memory and in colored prints, thanks to cameras. The same cannot be said of infrared cameras, however.
Infrared cameras do not capture images the way we see them in real life. In fact, the pictures that infrared cameras produce may even appear odd, disfigured, or even ugly. Some even think the random splashes of bright color indicate that the camera is broken. Once you understand how infrared cameras are used, however, these images begin to make sense, and even become beautiful in an indefinable way.
Somewhere Outside the Rainbow
Infrared light includes a range of radiation that we cannot see. Red is the brightest color on rainbows, and infrared radiation is just a little bit beyond it. On the other end, infrared radiation is positioned only a little bit below microwave radiation. For infrared light to be captured, nothing should block the object that is "viewing" the radiation. Infrared transmissions are used in audio and video remote controls, various detectors, and wireless connections between tools for computers.
Hot Pictures
The average Joe would find it hard to explain how infrared cameras are used. But really, the principle is simple. Its even akin to the principle behind the workings of a regular camera.
This is how infrared cameras are used. An infrared camera captures an object's black-body radiation. A body emits this radiation due to temperature. The warmest infrared colors are usually white. Middle temperatures are colored yellow and red, and the coolest temperatures are colored blue. Infrared cameras work in pitch black because the amount of light surrounding objects is irrelevant. This, as well as other features, makes them ideal for several functions.
Hot Bodies
You may still be a little confused over how infrared cameras are used, but there's no doubt you've seen one of its most practical applications. Infrared cameras are used to save lives. People and other mammals usually give off more heat than their environment. This tendency becomes even more pronounced at night. Infrared cameras can be used to look for people and animals lost or trapped in places such as thick forests, areas beneath avalanches and collapsed structures, and huge bodies of water.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Infrared cameras may also be useful in search and rescue operations. To illustrate how infrared cameras are used in this case, imagine a typical raging inferno. As flames lick up houses one at a time, firefighters often have to walk through areas where visibility is nearly zero. This is where specially designed infrared cameras come handy. Built to endure extreme temperatures, these cameras help firefighters spot fire victims, as well as areas where fire still rages. The camera's display is attached to the brim of a firefighter's helmet, for easy access to information.
Fire, Ice, and Bodies
On other occasions, infrared cameras are used to search people, rather than to search for them. In the medical field, high-speed infrared pictures allow physicians to examine patients for extreme cooling or heating of the body. These changes indicate medical problems, among them cancerous tissues, abnormal circulation, and inflammation.
Don't Drink Water If It Gets Cooler
Infrared cameras may also be used to study the causes of medical problems. To better understand how infrared cameras are used in this context, let's focus on drinking water. The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, notes that polluted drinking water and surface water is one of the United States' gravest environmental problems. Infrared cameras are often used to monitor stormwater drainage systems that flow into rivers, streams, creeks, and lakes. The cameras contrast the flow of non-water liquids, which is generally warmer than the flow of water, with water. The cameras quickly scan the region, including regions that would be difficult to access without infrared cameras. Then, they indicate the problematic areas on a digital map.
There is no doubt technology continues to improve our lives, and the infrared camera is no exception. It shows us what is otherwise invisible and gives hope when there is none.

How is the Airman battle Uniform a battle uniform?
Ever been forced to wear the equivalent of a heavy jacket in 120 degree weather under an IBA and helmet, with an EXTRA lining?
Or trying to access awkwardly positioned pockets?
Or Instead of having zippers for emergency removal, having buttons?
Or one of the thousand other problems
It just seems the ABUs were meant for the harsh temperature-controlled environment of the Pentagon and not so much for the hell-inspired inferno-like environment of any of our current war zones.
I'm not complaining, but a name-change would be appropriate; how about Airman PowerPoint uniform (APU)?
Issued four, recieved four all look and feel like winter versions, along with everyone elses, as near as I can tell there are no summer versions
According to the link below
"The ABU will be offered in 50-50 nylon-cotton blend permanent press fabric eliminating the need for winter and summer weight uniforms"
http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=123017545
It sounds like they are going to have to do what the Army did and get some opinions from the field make improvements to the uniform. I understand that they are making some changes to the ACU because of that.
