![]() ![]() We then used each machine for 30 minutes of field mowing and 15 minutes each of lawn trimming and landscape bed trimming. The first operational tests were simply to start each machine and note the number of pulls required to get started. Our initial notes included measurable and easily observable features, such as each machine’s physical size and weight, whether it had a straight or curved shaft, and whether or not it could be used with other tool attachments. After unboxing and assembling each trimmer, we filled the fuel tank and got started. We spent 2 days testing the gas string trimmers in this article on regular lawn trimming, close-quarters trimming among shrubs and perennials in landscape beds, and mowing an overgrown field. To learn more about the trimmers on our list, we field-tested them in a variety of settings. Regardless of the engine size, machine weight, shaft length, and other measurables, much of the tool’s effectiveness depends on the operator’s physical build and personal preferences, along with the type of trimming to be done. Shopping for a string trimmer reveals that statistics can only forward the search so far.

Later on, we will share more details on the individual models and how each one performed for us. Ahead, we discuss these and other important considerations that went into choosing the trimmers we tested for this article. The best gas string trimmer for your yard will depend on several important factors, including cutting width, shaft type, and engine size. While battery-powered trimmers may be a good choice for light trimming in small yards, gas string trimmers have the power that’s ideal for cutting through dense grass, weeds, and brush. This garden tool is a helpful addition to a large yard or any location with a lot of different obstacles, like trees, lawn ornaments, fencing, garden beds, and small structures. Grass and weeds can grow up the side of the shed, encroach on the garden, and climb the fence, but with a gas string trimmer-commonly called a weed wacker-unwanted plants can quickly and efficiently be removed. ![]()

![]() ![]() “The most impressive are the blooms at low elevation, because of the contrast between rocks and the flowers,” says Abby Wine, a spokesperson at the park. At higher elevations, above 5,000 feet, visitors will typically see flowers into June and July. Desert wildflowers at lower elevations-including the valley floor at Death Valley-will begin to appear in mid-February and last until mid-April. Without a doubt, the holy grail of California wildflower events is the Mojave Desert “super bloom,” most famously at Death Valley-an event that occurs only every 10 to 15 years (the last two were in 20). Here’s where and when to find wildflowers in California’s national parks and state parks this spring and beyond. It appears that this year will be particularly good for flower spotting ( perhaps as wondrous as the 2019 displays), thanks to a much needed soaking last fall and higher than average snowpack. But then, there must be successive rains, at least once a month, for the flowers to take hold. While drought can suppress the wildflower blooms, significant rain in the state resulted in spectacular super blooms in both 20.īut will there be another super bloom in the state in 2023? For one to occur, it takes a specific confluence of conditions: It starts with significant rainfall in September or October, which rinses a bloom-inhibiting chemical from the seeds. Peak season for any given area can vary somewhat from year to year, based on rainfall amount and temperatures, so it pays to check links to get the most updated information. But there are those who insist that the name-the Golden State-has just as much to do with the California poppy, the delicate yellow-orange state flower that carpets the state each spring from Arcata in the north to San Diego in the south.

It’s based on an examination of existing bones, or on references or photos of bones from other specimens that are the same or related species. This isn’t as accurate since it doesn’t come directly from the fossil bone. If there’s a missing bone in a skeleton, sometimes that shape will be carved like a sculpture. Other methods include 3D prints made from CT scanning, surface scanning, and photogrammetry, which are also very reliable. ![]() A fossil can also be a preserved imprint, like a footprint or a leaf.Ĭasts are made using precise molds of fossil bones and are one of the most accurate and common forms of 3D duplication you’ll see on display at the Field and other museums. Minerals from the surrounding groundwater and sediment very gradually replace some of the bones’ original minerals (this is why fossils are a variety of different colors: they take on the color of the minerals in the earth around them). Over time, the sediment hardens into rock encasing the bones, often distorting them. First, sediment like mud or sand covers an animal’s body, and the soft tissues rot away leaving behind the hard tissue-teeth and bones. But fossils are rare since the conditions have to be right for them to form. Understanding fossils and castsįossils form over tens of thousands-up to hundreds of millions-of years. While we try to show you the real thing whenever possible, there are some important considerations behind why we put both dinosaur fossils and casts on display. And it’s a valid one: alongside fossil skeletons, we sometimes display casts, which are made from extremely accurate molds that are shaped directly from the fossils. This is a question we often hear from visitors as they roam the Field Museum, especially about dinosaur bones. ![]() ![]() ![]() The daily charge for a single stroller is $14 and a double stroller is $18.

They have slain around two hundred already, dissecting them along the way.Īfter a harrowing, if illogical, aerial battle that, at times, steps firmly into the realm of full-blown horror, Van Zan's men kill the dragon that attacked Quinn's colony. Where Quinn's goal has been survival above all else, Van Zan's men are committed to killing the dragons and retaking the planet. A dragon attacks, killing the thieves and destroying the crops, effectively sealing the survivors' fate.Īt Quinn's lowest point, a group of American soldiers led by the eccentric Denton Van Zan ( Matthew McConaughey) arrive at the castle sporting a tank, advanced tech, and a helicopter. With the current crop expected to be too small to feed the community and supplies incredibly scarce, one man gathers his family and leads a group to steal the crops for themselves. But, by the time the film begins in earnest, the community is on its last leg.Įach year, their field yields fewer and fewer crops, the soil turned from overuse and environmental corruption. ![]() Quinn's plan is to survive long enough for the dragons to go back into hibernation. The survivors harvest crops and have devised a meager dragon defense system comprised of fireproof clothing, worn-down fire trucks, and stealth. By 2020, the combined devastation of nuclear fallout, the dragon's locust-like feeding habits, and general famine have reduced the human population nearly to the point of extinction.Īn adult Quinn, played by Christian Bale, now leads a small community of survivors in an abandoned castle in Northumberland with his second in command, Creedy (Gerard Butler). Militaries around the world are hopelessly outgunned, and the war against the dragons destroys much of the planet's surface. Over the next two decades, more dragons, all significantly smaller than the first, emerge from the Earth and sweep the globe, feeding on everything in sight. Quinn's mother is crushed to death, trying to protect him, leaving him as the only survivor. As Quinn and his mother desperately try to escape through the elevator lift, the creature surfaces. The dragon's breath kills everyone at the site. The workers dig too deep, penetrating a hidden cave and awakening a hibernating dragon. The film begins in 2002, when a young boy, Quinn Abercromby, visits his mother, the lead engineer overseeing construction on a new line of the London Underground. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (A micrometer equals 1/1,000,000 of a meter.
