The Big Island has been described as having every climate in the book, except for arctic tundra. From a desert made of miles and miles of black rock, to mountaintops with occasional snow, to a rainforest (where Kona Coffee's coffee plantation is found), to more temperate zones, and of course an active volcano. Hawaii's Big Island is home to several different environments.In winter, most active volcanoes whose crater is above the snowline are like this.An affogato is ice cream topped with a fresh hot shot of espresso. Desserts that are usually served hot (like Apple Pie or Chocolate Lava Cake) then topped with ice cream rely on this dynamic and are best eaten IMMEDIATELY to get the full effect.Yellowstone, particularly in the winter.Iceland - most recently, the volcanic eruptions in Spring 2010 in a glacial area, providing some stunning pictures. Mount Erebus in Antarctica has a lava lake surrounded by snow and ice.The heroes visit one such city, laying on the bank of frozen sea, with a (walled) lava river called Gold running across it. Planets are too large for this, and are heated only under each city. Moons are heated at the core and the warmth is evenly distributed over entire surface. Frozen moons and planets can be heated to about room temperature using Illyrion, but this may produce apparently non-erupting volcanic cracks and lava rivers. Delany's Nova as a side effect of Terraforming. Plus proximity to the Grinding Ice, the Land of the Shadow of Horror, the Gasping Dust, the Hill of the Slain, the Mountains of Horror, the Forest Under Night, and the Valley of Dreadful Death, all of which are also evil or horrible places. You've got arctic surroundings, barren desert plains, rivers of lava, giant slag volcanoes, vast underground dungeons, the works. Angband, Morgoth's abode in The Silmarillion.(The name is literal if you manage to head out into one of the quadrants, you'll find they're each a complete world within its own plane of Shadow and the boundaries where they meet only exist when near and heading toward the Keep.) The Chronicles of Amber: The Keep of the Four Worlds: lava, an ocean, mountains, and a dusty plain with never-ending tornadoes, with the castle at the place where all four intersect.If done to a whole planet, you're likely dealing with a Tidally Locked Planet. See Patchwork Map for when this occurs in the overworld. In some cases, a game's entire setting may be focused on one trope, which may combine with the others by necessity. A really clever designer will combine them into a coherent whole (bonus points if the combination makes sense). This can also be done chronologically, where the stage is the first way in the first half of the game, but gets changed in the second. Half of it is one stage, the other is the second kind. The simplest way is to divide the area in half. (It's also one of the few cases where such a thing is remotely plausible see the Real Life section of the examples.) Triple word score if the two are actually Lethal Lava Land and Slippy-Slidey Ice World the pervasiveness of this combination probably stems from the fact that these are the two level themes that can be definitely called "opposites" and the fact that Color Contrast between the two makes the level more visually interesting. Bonus points if the two are diametric opposites. raocow, "ApoF - 20 - flaming fortress found in the frozen forest"Īn unusual way of saving time or storage space, bringing some originality into the standard Video Game Settings: Take two stock settings and combine them into one.

This was exacerbated by the bleed nipples on the Ducati, which seemed to be very sensitive to the exact alignment of the hose on the nipple. I think the hose is getting old and hard and it needs replacement. I did notice that the clear hose that I have been using to place over the brake bleed nipple needed to be trimmed each time I used it. They’re all basically the same when it comes to brake bleeding. That includes bikes such as the old BMW R65, the BMW R100RS, the BMW K75, Burn’s Suzuki Bandit or TL1000S, Triumph Thunderbird Sport, Triumph Tiger or any other motorcycle I’ve worked on since the original article was published. I wish they had the option of a larger container that held about twice the volume of the container provided with the kit.īleeding the Ducati brakes was no different than bleeding the brakes on any of the bikes that have been through the webBikeWorld garage. The bleed kit consists of a collection container that can be vacuum sealed and the hoses.īelieve it or not, back when we first published the article below, Actron had very little information about the product on their website.īy the way, an enterprising tinkerer could make a collection container, and I’ve thought about trying this because the Actron container is really too small and too light weight to be positioned correctly when bleeding the brakes. The kit consists of the individually available Actron Hand Vacuum Pump (their part number CP7830) and the CP7840 Brake Bleed Kit. The entire kit, including both the pump and the accessory parts, is now available through this webBikeWorld affiliate link with a current list price of $49.99 and free shipping! The Actron Vacuum Pump Brake Bleed Kit (their part number 7835) is still the way to go. We’ve been using the Actron brake bleeder successfully for many years in fact, I’m starting to wear it out and it’s time for a new kit. The procedure is pretty simple actually and it’s described in our original brake bleeding article below. So this was going to be a trifecta of motorcycle brake bleeding! It was dark also not quite as dark as the rear brake reservoir, but definitely in need of a flush. The Ducati GT1000 also has a hydraulic clutch, which also uses DOT 4 brake fluid. The front reservoir wasn’t as dark, but it was starting to turn yellow, which is the first sign of contamination.īrake fluid is perfectly clear and should look that way in the reservoir, so take a look at yours and see if it’s time for a flush. I learned the hard way, when a master cylinder became completely corroded due to the water that was in the dirty fluid.īelieve me, replacing a master cylinder or disk brake caliper is way, way more expensive and time consuming than simply flushing the brake fluid once a year.Īnd besides, it’s always nice to know that you have fresh fluid in the lines when you squeeze the brakes… I flush and refill the brake fluid in my cars about once per year and the same goes for the motorcycles.įlushing and Bleeding Motorcycle Brakes and Clutchįor some reason, brake fluid flushing is not addressed in any automobile owner’s manual I’ve ever seen, but it’s just as important for four wheels as it is for two. Most of the time, I chalk it up to moisture in the air that quickly affects the very hygroscopic (easily absorbs moisture) DOT 4 brake fluid. I’m not sure why the fluid got so dirty so quickly. I opened the cap and sure enough, the brake fluid was way overdue for a flush and fill. The Ducati was only about 6 months old, but I noticed recently that the tiny rear brake fluid reservoir looked very dark, a sure sign of brake fluid that’s overdue for replacement. So I figured that as long as I was going to flush and refill the brake and clutch fluid on the Ducati, I may as well update this article to see if we’ve learned anything new in the interim. In 2009, I noticed the brake fluid on our 2006 Ducati GT1000 was starting to look pretty swampy (see photos below). Our original article (below) describing the use of an Actron brake bleeder (below) is still valid, but that article was posted on webBikeWorld way background 2002. It’s been some time since we first wrote about motorcycle brake bleeding. It’s a bit tricky to use, but once you figure out how to get the hose to fit the bleed nipple, it works well. The Actron brake bleeder is the best way to bleed motorcycle brakes that we have found so far. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Detroit weather september 2021It will be stocked again this week with about 2,000 trout.
