sucker

The stream we went hunting

Today's hunt wasn't that fruitful....didn't get what we expected, though we do manage to catch some suckers, but all of them are small.

We started hunting at around 3pm but I guess it's probably not the right timing to hunt this suckers. Based on my other evening hunt, I also experienced this results.

and there's my lil's sis

Besides the suckers, we also collected other fishes, but yet to be identified. As far as my fish identification knowledge is, one of them is a loach, but I have no clue what type....And also few types of fishes which I guess belongs to the Cyprinid family.

My digital camera, really cant take good quality close up shot, so I'm not able to post the fish picture here. Probably will post it sometime in the future, when I have a beter shot.

If anyone doesn't know how Borneo Sucker looks like, I do have pictures of them from my previous hunt......

Borneo Sucker/hillstream loach, Gastromyzon sp.

Okay....that's it for now, will be planning another hunting trip soon.....:)

Kinda funny to see so many sites about DIY CO2, and yet I publish my own copy here...haha.....WHY? Because, today, I happen to see the DIY CO2 diagram on my sister desktop which I draw few month ago for a friend....so, it just spark like that, and here goes my DIY CO2...enjoy :D


Here's the diagram which I draw for a friend few months back...okay, ignore the Copyright, this one I edited today :D

Okay...here's what you need...
Material:
- 2 plastic bottles (water bottle, soda bottle, etc...your choice)...make sure it comes with their respective cap :D
- 1 extra bottle cap of the same bottle type
- some air tube
- a check valve
- a diffuser

Tools you might need:
- something you can use to make holes on the cap of the bottle, such as drill, nail, etc....something you are comfortable working with :D
- pliers (you may not need this if you have strong fingers :D...hehehe)

Ingredients:
- a pinch of yeast (I use only baker's yeast)
- 2 to 3 table spoon of sugar
- water
- baking soda...(some people suggest, but personally I haven't tested with baking soda)

So that's about it...so lets start building your CO2 factory :D

Step 1. You will want to mark bottle 1 and bottle 2, so you don't get mixed up later on.

Step 2. Make one hole on the cap of bottle 1 and 2 hole on the cap of bottle 2. Make sure the size of the hole is slightly smaller than the air tube. As this will create a snug fit and act as a seal when the tube is insert into the hole.

Step 3. Insert the airtube into the holes. For easy working...cut the end of the air tube diagonally. Now with the pointed air tube, insert the tube from the top of the cap. If you have strong fingers, you can pull the pointed end of the tube, or else use a pliers to do it :D

Step 4. Build your DIY CO2 factory as in the diagram above. Make sure the check valve is in the correct direction, or else you won't get any CO2 into your tank.

Step 5: Mixing the ingredients...first make sugar water and fill it into bottle 1 till half full. Next add 1 pinch of yeast. Cap it with the extra bottle cap, and shake the solution vigorously for few moments. On the other hand, bottle 2 can be fill with plain water 2/3 or 3/4 full.

* the measurement is not quite certain, but rather a gut feeling...the more yeast, the faster the solution will finish...lesser yeast, more sugar, and the solution will last longer.

Step 6:
Assemble all the parts together, this is how it looks like in real...


Bottle 1 is the one with the white cap, Bottle 2 with the blue cap


Everything similar as in the diagram I draw...accept for the stop valve (doesn't make much different with it)


View from another angle

Some explanation...
In some sites, you might see some design with a single bottle, which is bottle 1 direct to the diffuser, with check valve in between. Now you might be wondering why I use a second bottle...the reason is simply to serve as a filter. In bottle 1, the bi-product of yeast and sugar are CO2 and alcohol. So that's where the second bottle comes in, to filter the alcohol and prevent it from entering your tank :D

I had experienced before using only a single bottle, my tank smell alcohol....LOLz!!! and my fishes got poisoned by it. So for safety purposes, as a precaution, use a second bottle :D

Now...if you may ask, what bottle size I used, those in the pic are 500ml mineral water bottle. Instead of discarding it into the bin, I recycled it for the DIY CO2 :D

Well any bottle can serve for this purpose. I guess the larger the bottle, the more amount of ingredient you can add, and that might last a little longer :)....anyway my setup last for about 2 weeks....by week 2, the CO2 bubbles beginning to slow down.

So...I guess that's about it on DIY CO2....so enjoy making yours :D

A Rogue PvP Guide to Dominate the Battlefields

Engaging in WoW PvP combat with a Rogue is great fun when you have a Rogue PvP Guide to help you with the best ways to playing the rouge class. This is the perfect place to find out what unique skills can be gained and various ways to attack your enemies with great success. Most classes do not wish to engage a Rogue in combat, they would much rather kite one. Be wise about using your cool-downs in order to avoid kiting by the other classes. There are also many techniques and strategies to use along the way.

Techniques to get back to stealth mode

1. Vanish skill - use on a three minute cooldown

2. Blind - run out of combat

3. Sprint or Gouge - also used to run out of combat

4. Crippling Poison - apply to target and run away

5. Kidney Shot - administer and run away from combat

Techniques Against Melee

1. Stun the Opponent - this removes the oppositions ability to parry, dodge, or block attacks you make; do this right before they swing

2. Gouge or Kidney Shot - can help to avoid a large piece of Windfury Weapon

3. Dismantle - effective for rendering opponents unable to provide any significant damage output

Techniques Against Casters

1. Use Garrote - use this against pure casters, paladins, and even Elemental shamans; this stops spell casting with opponents for three seconds

There are three different strategies used by a Rogue; burst, control, and rush-down. The details for each style are listed below.

Burst - This technique provides lots of damage in a small amount of time. In order for multiple bursts of damage to take place, there will need to be re-stealthing and re-opening that needs to take place. You need to try to stay in stealth mode for however long, in order to make the burst technique truly effective. Due to the amount of dead time between bursts, it is not a good idea to use this technique against healing classes because it will heal between your bursts.

Control - Due to advancements in the game, maintaining control over an opponent is a great skill. If possible, avoid using DoTs. Adding in a Gouge between the Kidney Shot and Cheap Shot you administer to an opponent will not only gain you more points, but you will be able to regenerate energy. Kicks need to be administered to casters right as their stun is disappearing. The control skill is excellent when going against healing opponents. Control sometimes requires a bit of luck to run smooth.

Rush Down - In this technique, you will have to be as aggressive as possible. Using combo points for Slice and Dice or Rupture and also burning cool-downs is how to drop opponents quickly. When an attack is about to be administered on you, Vanish and try to get in a Cheap Shot. As the name of the technique implies, constant and quick movement is the key for making this style as effective as possible. This technique is best against players with lots of health, since it gives the highest damage with time.

Using the above Rogue PvP Guide information should help you to dominate in PvP with your personal Rogue. It may take a few tries to perfect the techniques and strategies mentioned above, but it can be done with determination and a careful eye.
