Hallo Mädchen hier ist meine Naked Care Shampoo & Conditioner Review!
Letztes Jahr habe ich den Wechsel zu Shampoos und Conditionern, die keine Sulfate enthielten, nachdem meine Kopfhaut zu einem roten, juckenden Alptraum wurde, gemacht. Eine ausgiebige Google-Sitzung machte mir klar, ...

Make a portable room air conditioner for about $30 with a couple of buckets and a desk fan
The bucket air conditioner at work
(TL/DR: Click here to skip straight to the instructions)
We have central air conditioning. It’s a big, hulking monster from the early 1980’s that’s loud, doesn’t cool well, and practically forces us to take a second mortgage on the house every time we run it for a couple hours, so we rarely use it. Mostly we sweat it out with fans and shades.
A few days ago, my wife came home from the neighbors to tell me about their portable swamp cooler which kept their house pretty comfortable even though it was almost triple digit heat outside. I investigated and found that it was an “evaporative cooler”, basically a box that blew air across water to cool the temperature of the air. Units for a room the size of my family room ran about $400, which was the same cost as a portable AC, so I figured if I was going to spend $400 on a portable unit, I’d spend it on an AC.
But I didn’t want to spend $400 on anything, so I decided to wander the Internets and see what kind of DIY swamp coolers were out there. Turns out, there’s all kinds, many of which worked the same as commercial evaporative coolers, but cost far less.
A little more research led me to rule out the coolers that called for pumps and trays and evaporative media because I would have to buy all that stuff. Instead I went with the “bucket AC”, which uses a couple of buckets, a fan and some plastic pipe, because, other than a cheap table fan, I had all the stuff.
Most of the bucket AC instructions I came across called for a 5 gallon and 3 gallon bucket and some 1½-inch PVC pipe. The room I wanted to use this in is a little larger and has high ceilings, so I went with a 10 gallon and 5 gallon bucket and 2-inch pipe (also, I already had the buckets and the pipe).
Building the Bucket Air Conditioner
Supplies
2 buckets — one 10 gallon with lid and one 5 gallon (or 5 gallon with lid and a 3 gallon)
2-inch PVC or ABS pipe — I went with the black ABS (used in drain vents) because I had it leftover from a sink project. You need about 36-inches.
1 desk fan — Size will depend on your big bucket’s lid size. Mine was 12-inches in diameter, so I got a cheap 11-inch desk fan from Amazon.com
1 gallon jug of water — Chill it in the fridge or freeze it overnight
Supplies – 10 gal bucket, 5 gal bucket and pipe <!-- close group --> Basic 11-inch Desk fan <!-- close group --> <!-- close row -->
Tools
Drill
½-inch drill bit
2-inch hole bit
Small hacksaw
Step 1 – mark and drill your holes in the large bucket
Drilling holes in the side of the large bucketUse a tape measure and pencil to mark the center of three equidistant holes on one side of the large bucket. Use the 2-inch hole bit to cut three holes in the side of the bucket.
Step 2 – drill holes in the smaller bucket
Smaller bucket inside the larger <!-- close group --> Using 2 wood blocks to hold the smaller bucket in place <!-- close group --> <!-- close row -->
Place your smaller bucket inside the larger one and align it so it’s in the center. Use pieces of wood or piping to keep the smaller bucket centered in the bigger one. With the three holes in the big bucket as guides, use the hole bit to drill three holes in the smaller bucket.
Step 3 – Cut and insert your pipe
Cutting lengths of pipe <!-- close group --> Pipes inserted through the bucket holes <!-- close group --> <!-- close row -->
Cut three even lengths of pipe and pass them through the holes in the buckets so the ends stick into the inner bucket just a little. I originally cut mine to 8-inches, which was more than long enough to pass through both buckets, but I found slightly longer pipe length of 10-inches distributed the cool air better.
Step 4 – Cut a hole in the big bucket’s lid
Using a drill bit and some string to trace the lid cutout <!-- close group --> Drilling the hole for the saw to cutout the lid <!-- close group --> Cutting the hole for the fan <!-- close group --> <!-- close row -->
You want to cut a hole big enough to allow the fan to blow the most air it can into the bucket without actually falling into the bucket. My 10 gallon bucket’s lid was a little over 13-inches in diameter inside the rim, so I bought a basic 11-inch desk fan from Amazon, which, conveniently, was 12-inches wide with the fan guard.
The easiest way to trace the piece to cutout of the lid is to push a drill bit in the lid then use a piece of string and a pencil like a compass. Once the outline is traced, make a hole at the edge of the line, pop your hacksaw blade through the hole and follow your line with your saw to cut the opening.
Step 5 – Try it out

The bucket AC works best with there are no obstructions in front of the pipe outlets. You can see from the photo I put mine in the center of the family room where the air would distribute freely. (Then I put it up on a plant stand, because one of our dachshunds looked like he really wanted to mark it as his.)
Once it’s in place, put the jugs of chilled water in the center bucket (I can fit two in mine), flip the fan face down on the bucket lid and turn it on. Viola! Conditioned air!
My results
Is it possible to keep the house cool in a triple digit heat wave with a bucket air conditioner?
Yes. Absolutely.
Our usual strategy in a heatwave is to leave with the windows and doors open at night to let in the cool air, then close the house up in the morning before it starts to heat up. With just a couple of circulation fans, we can usually keep the temperature below 80 degrees until noon. By mid-afternoon indoor temps creep into the mid-80s and don’t start coming down again until it cools off at sunset.
(l) Outdoor temperature, (r) indoor temperature
The first day we tested the bucket AC it was around 70 degrees at 7am but it was expected to reach the high 90s by noon. It hit 80 degrees a little after 8am (hello sunshine) and we followed the usual protocol, closing the doors and windows. Then I switched on the bucket and let it run.
As you can see from the nearby photo, 30 minutes before noon the outside temperature was heading for 100 degrees while the indoor temp had moved a mere 2 degrees. Better yet, that weather station is near the front door in the living room, a good 35 feet from the bucket, which meant the whole front section of the house was similarly comfortable.
We managed to ride out the 5 days of that heatwave with the indoor temperature never climbing above 82 degrees, which is pretty good results for an AC unit built out of buckets, water jugs and a desk fan. It definitely works and works well.
Lessons Learned
It’s not so much about the cooling, as it is slowing the heating.
In my system, two gallons of water chilled down to 40 degrees reaches room temperature — whatever that is, 70, 72, or 80 degrees — in a little over 2 hours. The room temperature never falls, so it’s not cooling it, it’s just slowing the rate it gets hotter. Without the bucket AC the indoor temperature rose about 2 degrees an hour. With it, it rises at less than 1 degree every 2 hours. As a result, if I want the room to still be a warm (but comfortable) 78 degrees in the late afternoon, I need to make sure the room is as cool as possible in the morning and be ready to fire up the bucket AC as soon as the outdoor temps start to rise.
The bucket air conditioner chilling in the family room
That said, the $20 I spent on the fan and the afternoon I spent putting the bucket air conditioner together were well worth it. Even if it looks like R2D2 with battleship guns, it does a pretty good job at keeping the family areas of the house comfortable, and it’s way less noisy and expensive than my old beast AC.

Bikaner is a city in the northwest of the state of Rajasthan in northern India. It is located 330 kilometres northwest of the state capital, Jaipur. Bikaner city is the administrative headquarters of Bikaner District and Bikaner division.
Formerly the capital of the princely state of Bikaner, the city was founded by Rao Bika in 1486 and from its small origins it has developed into the fifth largest city in Rajasthan. The Ganges Canal, completed in 1928, and the Indira Gandhi Canal, completed in 1987, facilitated its development.
HISTORY
Prior to the mid 15th century, the region that is now Bikaner was a barren wilderness called Jangladesh. In 1488 Rao Bika established the city of Bikaner. According to James Tod, the spot which Bika selected for his capital, was the birthright of a Nehra Jat, who would only concede it for this purpose on the condition that his name should be linked in perpetuity with its surrender. Naira, or Nera, was the name of the proprietor, which Bika added to his own, thus composing that of the future capital, Bikaner. Rao Bika was the first son of Maharaja Rao Jodha of the Rathor clan, the founder of Jodhpur and conquered the largely arid country in the north of Rajasthan. As the first son of Jodha he wanted to have his own kingdom not inheriting Jodhpur from his father or the title of Maharaja. He therefore decided to build his own kingdom in what is now the state of Bikaner in the area of Jungladesh. Though it was in the Thar Desert, Bikaner was considered an oasis on the trade route between Central Asia and the Gujarat coast as it had adequate spring water. Bika’s name was attached to the city he built and to the state of Bikaner ("the settlement of Bika") that he established. Bika built a fort in 1478, which is now in ruins, and a hundred years later a new fort was built about 1.5 km from the city centre, known as the Junagarh Fort.
Around a century after Rao Bika founded Bikaner, the state's fortunes flourished under the sixth Raja, Rai Singhji, who ruled from 1571 to 1611. During the Mughal Empire’s rule in the country, Raja Rai Singh accepted the suzerainty of the Mughals and held a high rank as an army general at the court of the Emperor Akbar and his son the Emperor Jahangir. Rai Singh's successful military exploits, which involved winning half of Mewar kingdom for the Empire, won him accolades and rewards from the Mughal emperors. He was given the jagirs (lands) of Gujarat and Burhanpur. With the large revenue earned from these jagirs, he built the Chintamani durg (Junagarh fort) on a plain which has an average elevation of 230 m. He was an expert in arts and architecture, and the knowledge he acquired during his visits abroad is amply reflected in the numerous monuments he built at the Junagarh fort.
Maharaja Karan Singh, who ruled from 1631 to 1639, under the suzerainty of the Mughals, built the Karan Mahal palace. Later rulers added more floors and decorations to this Mahal. Anup Singh ji, who ruled from 1669 to 1698, made substantial additions to the fort complex, with new palaces and the Zenana quarter, a royal dwelling for women and children. He refurbished the Karan Mahal with a Diwan-i-Am (public audience hall) and called it the Anup Mahal.Maharaja Gaj Singh, who ruled from 1746 to 1787 refurbished the Chandra Mahal (the Moon palace).
During the 18th century, there was internecine war between the rulers of Bikaner and Jodhpur and also amongst other thakurs, which was put down by British troops.
Following Maharaja Gaj Singh, Maharaja Surat Singh ruled from 1787 to 1828 and lavishly decorated the audience hall (see illustration) with glass and lively paintwork. Under a treaty of paramountcy signed in 1818, during Maharaja Surat Singh's reign, Bikaner came under the suzerainty of the British, after which the Maharajas of Bikaner invested heavily in refurbishing Junagarh fort.
Dungar Singh, who reigned from 1872 to 1887, built the Badal Mahal, the 'weather palace', so named in view of a painting of clouds and falling rain, a rare event in arid Bikaner.
General Maharaja Ganga Singh, who ruled from 1887 to 1943, was the best-known of the Rajasthan princes and was a favourite of the British Viceroys of India. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India, served as a member of the Imperial War Cabinet, represented India at the Imperial Conferences during the First World War and the British Empire at the Versailles Peace Conference. His contribution to the building activity in Junagarh involved separate halls for public and private audiences in the Ganga Mahal and a durbar hall for formal functions. He also built the Ganga Niwas Palace, which has towers at the entrance patio. This palace was designed by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, the third of the new palaces built in Bikaner. He named the building Lalgarh Palace in honour of his father and moved his main residence there from Junagarh Fort in 1902. The hall where he held his Golden Jubilee (in 1938) as Bikaner's ruler is now a museum.
Ganga Singh's son, Lieutenant-General Sir Sadul Singh, the Yuvaraja of Bikaner, succeeded his father as Maharaja in 1943, but acceded his state to the Union of India in 1949. Maharaja Sadul Singh died in 1950, being succeeded in the title by his son, Karni Singh (1924-1988).[6] The Royal Family still lives in a suite in Lalgarh Palace, which they have converted into a heritage hotel.
TRANSPORT
The internal transport system in Bikaner consists of autorickshaws and city buses. Bikaner railway station is on the Jodhpur-Bathinda line. Bikaner is connected to some of major Indian cities via broad gauge railway. The city has direct rail connections to Sri Ganganagar, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Alwar, Bhubaneswar, Sambalpur, Bilaspur, Kanpur, Agra, Jalandhar, Baroda, Hyderabad, Guwahati, Jaipur, Surat, Gurgaon, Jalandhar, Puri, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram, Chandigarh, Kota, Kollam, Jammu, Jodhpur and Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Vijayawada.

It had long been our ambition to convert the basement of the Rotunda back to its condition in 1910. Ickworth Lives, a project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and your donations, is doing just that.
Opening on 2nd March 2012, we invite you to discover the real lives of those who lived and worked in this party house in the 1930s.
The exterior of the Earl-Bishop’s Rotunda was virtually finished when he died in 1803, but the interior was still an empty shell, and the curving corridors and wings only a few feet above ground. It was left to the Earl-Bishop’s son, the future 1st Marquess of Bristol, to make what use he could of his father’s extraordinary plan. Having no need for massive galleries, in 1821 he instructed his architect, John Field, to redesign the East Wing as family living-quarters.
Field fitted out the ground floor of the Rotunda as state rooms in an austere Regency style. The West Wing was added purely for symmetry and so was left empty. The Trust is pleased to announce the go-ahead of a package for a project to develop the West Wing to provide new facilities for visitor reception, information, education, shop, restaurant, functions, conferences and events.
As the family lived mostly in the East Wing, the rooms that visitors see in the Rotunda spent much of the year under dust sheets, coming into their own mainly for parties and other special occasions. But as a result, their superb furnishings and decoration have survived in excellent condition and little changed since the heyday of the house in the Edwardian era.
The house, with much of its collections of family portraits, Huguenot silver, Regency furniture and china, and part of the ancient deer-park, passed to the National Trust in 1956.
The East Wing has been transformed into a four star hotel by the hotel company Luxury Family Hotels who lease the East Wing. Until 1997 the East Wing was home to the late 7th Marquis of Bristol who had leased the property from the National Trust.
The hotel has 35 luxury rooms - 11 in the Dower House a separate property situated on the north-west of the estate (opened in autumn 2002) - the hotel complex has three restaurants, a 50ft indoor pool, horse riding facilities and a tennis court.
Ickworth’s 18th-century parkland and gardens include some of the most stunning countryside to be found in East Anglia.
The Park
The extensive 1,800 acres of wooded parkland, created in part by 'Capability' Brown, is a living landscape rich in plant, animal, and bird life. Some parts cultivated and grazed yet much can be explored and enjoyed. Some waymarked field margins may also be walked. Access has been made possible through funding by the Forestry Commission’s Countryside Access scheme.
The Gardens
The gardens surrounding the house were created in the first half of the 19th century by the First Marquess of Bristol. Those in the formal Italian style to the south of the house feature the Gold and Silver Gardens, a Victorian Stumpery and the Temple Rose Garden. A raised terrace walk separates the south garden from the park.
Beyond the church are the remnants of an 18th-century garden created by the First Earl. His summerhouse (circa.1703) and ornamental canal still survive. The kitchen garden, protected by high brick walls, is now a vineyard producing Ickworth wines (available in the National Trust shop).

I have just completed Robin Hood 25. The kit arrived in good condition. The packaging is well thought out for transit and building sequence. The materials are very good quality including wood and hardware. It was a very enjoyable build. The radio system I used is Futaba, the engine is OSLA 15, the covering is Oratex. I enjoyed building the 25 so much I've now ordered the Robin Hood 80. Some history on myself, I'm 85 years old and have been in and out of the RC Hobby for the last 70 years. In the 40's I started with 10cent stick and tissue models. From there I started building tow line, and hand launch gliders. I then moved on to free flight gas models and u-control models. In the 80's I began building and flying RC models. If anyone is looking for a great kit I highly recommend Old School Models!

It was like building a ship in a bottle -- the box was 6x6x3.5 inches. If I had it to do over again, I'd get a larger box. Not so many scraped knuckles that way.
The big "50% More Volume" makes it sound like the Pantene shampoo gives you a lot. Until you follow the asterisk around to the fine print on the back, which says "Pantene Shampoo v. Pantene Shampoo plus Conditioner plus Moose." In other words, instead of explaining HOW this product gives you 50% more volume, the asterisk explains that this product actually does NOT give you 50% more volume. How is that not deceptive? Why is that legal? Why is that moral?
