Thanks for the ping. I'm in the process of making "neck cooling scarves" to send to the troops. My army niece recently returned from Iraq and said the heat is brutal. She'll be giving me the address of a unit in Iraq so that I can send them.

These neck scarves are quick and simple to make, so if anyone else wants to make some, either contact me or google "cooling neck scarves". (The scarves are stiched into tube shape and polymer crystals -- available from gardening nurseries -- are placed inside. Once soaked in water, the crystals swell and retain the water for days). They can be worn around the forehead or neck.
