Best Careers for Problem Solvers
Got a knack for problem-solving? Check out these five career options for people like you...
Do you consider yourself a problem solver?
While everyone has issues that must be solved in their day-to-day lives (How am I going to get this stain out? What can I do about my botched haircut?), certain people really excel at problem-solving.
And good news for these folks: there are careers where your problem-solving talent could come in handy.
"Some jobs require diagnostic problem solvers, who are intuitive and have the ability to see the relationship between seemingly unrelated information and come up with a solution," says Talane Miedaner, life coach and author of "Coach Yourself to a New Career."
"On the other hand, some jobs need analytic problem solvers, who can start with known facts, see logical connections, and then arrive at a clear conclusion," Miedaner adds.
So if you are usually the problem solver among your friends and family, read on to learn more about five great careers for problem solvers.
Career # 1 - Medical and Health Services Manager
If you've ever planned a family reunion, you probably know it's not easy being in charge of every little detail. But if you excel at orchestrating large operations like this, consider pursuing a career as a medical and health services manager, where you could coordinate the events of an entire medical facility or clinical department.
As a medical and health services manager, you could help to improve the efficiency and quality of health care services, put together work schedules, and even stay up-to-date on new laws, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. And when a problem comes up in the process, you could be the one to solve it.
Problem-Solving Factors: It's hard to miss all the news about the changes in the health care industry. And as these transitions occur, medical and health services managers need to be able to adapt to changes in laws, regulations, and technology, says the Department of Labor. Managers should be prepared to deal with all the difficulties that could arise with new policies.
But dealing with new sets of problems isn't all doom and gloom. "Managers with good problem-solving skills, though, can rely on their previous experience to come up with new solutions," says Miedaner.

Education Options: Ready to prepare to pursue this problem-solving career? Medical and health services managers generally need at least a bachelor's degree to be considered for this field, according to the Department. Other common credentials are master's degrees in health services, long-term care administration, public health, public administration, or business administration, adds the Department.
Career #2 - Personal Financial Advisor
If you're always the person figuring out how to divide the check after a group meal (and knows how to address the problem when someone didn't pay enough), a career as a personal financial advisor could be a good fit for your problem-solving skills.
Personal financial advisors can help clients better understand investments (such as stocks and bonds), tax laws, and insurance decisions, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. By providing financial advice, personal financial advisors might answer questions about potential risks as well as recommend investment options, adds the Department of Labor.
Problem-Solving Factors: The problem-solving aspect of a personal financial advisor comes into play when they monitor clients' investments and make changes based on factors that may pop up (a swing up or down in the market, for example).
"When issues come up with clients - or the market - personal financial advisors have to use analytical thinking to solve those problems so that the clients stay happy," says Nicholas Lore, a career coach and author of "The Pathfinder: How to Choose or Change Your Career for a Lifetime of Satisfaction and Success."
Click to Find the Right Business Administration Program.
Education Options: Wondering how to prepare to pursue this career? Problem solved. Personal financial advisors usually need a bachelor's degree, says the Department. Although there isn't one "required" field of study, you could prepare for this career with a degree in finance, economics, accounting, business, mathematics, or even law. And if you are hoping to advance to a management position, a master's degree in finance or business administration could help, adds the Department.
Career # 3 - Paralegal
If you're a "Law & Order" fan and could see yourself solving legal puzzles and problems, a career as a paralegal may be worth your consideration.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, paralegals could help lawyers by examining the facts of a case, researching relevant laws, organizing information, and drafting documents to be filed with the court. And like lawyers, paralegals can also specialize in areas like personal injury, criminal law, bankruptcy, and real estate.
Problem-Solving Factors: Because paralegals often assume many of the responsibilities held by lawyers, they may be faced with similar law issues. The good news? Your problem-solving skills could come in handy.
"In making statements and arguments, you have to use analytic problem solving to come to logical conclusions based on the existing framework of laws," says Lore.
Click to Find the Right Paralegal Studies Program.
Education Options: How can you prepare to pursue this problem-solving career? There are a few options: most paralegals earn an associate's degree in paralegal studies, or if you already have a bachelor's degree in another field, you could look into a certificate in paralegal studies, says the Department of Labor.
Career # 4 - Graphic Designer
Are you artsy, super techie, and a problem solver? Then you might enjoy a career as a graphic designer. Why? Because graphic designers need to be able to solve problems that occur during the design process.
As a graphic designer, you could use computer software to produce visual concepts that inform and encourage consumers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They might create the layout and production design for advertisements, brochures, or magazines, adds the Department of Labor.
Problem-Solving Factors: Graphic designers can be faced with problems to solve each day as they attempt to turn abstract concepts into meaningful designs.
Perhaps that's why Lore says "graphic designers, like other artists, must have the intuitive, diagnostic problem-solving skill set."
Click to Find the Right Graphic Design Program.
Education Options: Ready to get creative and solve problems? To prepare to pursue a career as a graphic designer, a bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field is generally required, according to the Department. However, if you have a bachelor's degree in a different field, you could prepare through technical training in graphic design, adds the Department.
Career #5 - Engineer
No matter the type of engineer, problems (that need solving!) will constantly arise, whether the engineer is trying to create something new or test that new creation. If you are up for problem-solving challenges, consider a career as an engineer.
Electrical engineers could design, test, and manage the production of electrical equipment such as electric motors, communications systems, and radar and navigation systems (like Tom Tom GPS systems), according to the U.S. Department of Labor. In a similar way, computer hardware engineers could design, produce, and test computer equipment (chips, circuit boards, routers), says the Department of Labor.
Problem-Solving Factors: As an engineer, you're presented with problems where you have to think logically to come up with a solution, says Lore.
"For example, a civil engineer might need to design a bridge that has to fit a certain length and structural requirements," Lore adds. "Or a mechanical engineer might have to work to improve a car engine to get better gas mileage."
Click to Find the Right Engineering Program.
Education Options: Does a career in engineering sound appealing? Well, depending on what engineering field you want to prepare to pursue - like aerospace or mechanical, for example - education requirements vary, according to the Department. Aerospace engineers, for instance, are required to have a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or another related engineering field. A bachelor's degree in a science related to aerospace systems may also be sufficient. Quite a few options, right?

Record 10-lb Spotted Bass Caught on River2Sea S-Waver Swimbait
courtesy of Bass Angler Headquarters
Angler Randy Peirson holds up his 10-lb, 1-oz Spotted Bass that is a New Melones Lake record, just shy of a World Record set in 2001.
Richmond, CA – March 21, 2013 – When Oakdale, Calif. resident Randy Pierson went to New Melones Lake, nestled at the base of the Sierra Foothills east of Stockton on March 1, he had no idea he was what he was about to experience.
Pierson, a regular on the northern California tournament scene, a full-time gun accessory sales executive and part-time high school soccer coach would hook and land a 10-pound, 1-ounce spotted bass; which would be certified as a New Melones Lake record. The fish weighed just three ounces short of Bryan Shashido's 2001 world record spotted bass taken at Pine Flat lake.
The fish was taken on River2Sea's popular and effective S-Waver 168, a jointed "s-action" swimbait in the Lite Trout color pattern.
Pierson and his father Glenn, had gone to the lake in order to practice for a March 9 American Bass Association pro team event, and they were seeking to expand on a fishing pattern his father had located earlier in the week. after checking several locations on the lake, and catching three other keeper spotted bass – including a four and a half pounder – they stopped on a main lake point early in the afternoon, and that was when the bite happened.
"There was a slight ripple on the water from a breath of air, so I reached down and picked up the 6'8″ St. Croix Legend Extreme rod that I had my S-Waver on and made a cast toward the bank," Pierson said. "I retrieved the S-Waver about 15 feet and the rod just loaded up, then the battle heated up."
Pierson said the battle lasted for nearly a minute, and when he and his father landed it, they knew it was a special fish. "I had caught a 7-pound, 11-ounce spot at Don Pedro in 2005; which was a lake record then, and I knew this was bigger," he said. "We weighed this fish, and later found out it was a lake record. It was an unbelievable feeling and an incredible fish."
He revealed that there were two spotted bass with his lake record when he caught it, an one of them was significantly bigger than his. "I'm still going to the lake whenever possible to try and get that fish," he revealed with a chuckle.
A week later, during the tournament, the Piersons finished fourth with a limit of spotted bass for a total weight of 23.02 pounds, a creel that included an 8-pound, 5-ounce spotted bass that would have eclipsed the previous lake record, had he not done it a week earlier.

MISSION—State Representative of District 36, Sergio Muñoz Jr. visited the Anzalduas International Bridge on Aug. 30 to promote the passage of House Bill 474. The bill went into effect on Sept. 1 and covers approximately 25 miles in Hidalgo County where overweight trucks bringing goods from Mexico will be allowed.
The Texas and Mexico have different weight limit regulations for trucks transporting goods. Mexico allows trucks to carry 125,000 pounds, while Texas has an 80,000 pound weight limit. Prior to the new regulation truck drivers crossing from Mexico would have to stop and separate their loads into other vehicles before crossing the border bridge Hidalgo County.
This legislation allows trucks to proceed to Texas from Mexico without having to divide loads. The bill is predicted to reduce the amount of the trucks on the road, save industries time and money and promote economic development.
"The way the legislation is structured, for every load that is coming with the increased capacity there will be a fee charged," Muñoz said. "Part of that fee will go to administering this program and the rest of the money will be deposited for TxDOT to be used to repair and maintain the roadway within the border."
Carriers with overweight trucks will be required to pay a permit fee of up to $80. The bill imposes a weight limit of 125,000 pounds only in the trade zone area near the bridge, while the rest of the state will continue to have a maximum weight of 80,000 pounds.
"We are going to continue to promote our assets and our strengths here within our region," Muñoz said. "What we are doing here is not only going to impact South Texas, but we are also going to impact the rest of the state and the country."
Muñoz, along with city officials from Pharr, Hidalgo, McAllen and Mission are hopeful the corridor will push businesses to further invest in the region due to the increased efficiencies of transporting produce and other goods.

In March 2006, FSTC launched 1001 Inventions, a non-profit initiative which engages with the public through educational media and interactive global exhibitions in order to highlight the shared cultural and technological inheritance of humanity.
In 2010 alone, the 1001 Inventions exhibition was viewed by over 800,000 visitors during its current tour to the Science Museum in London, Istanbul's Sultanahmet Square, and the New York Hall of Science. Sponsored by the Al-Jameel Foundation, the exhibition was one of the cultural blockbusters of 2010. It has received world-wide press coverage and an overwhelmingly positive public response. A smaller version of the exhibition was displayed at the British Houses of Parliament and at theUnited Nations in New York. A smaller version of the exhibition was displayed at the British Houses of Parliament and at the United Nations in New York.
The accompanying coffee table book 1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in our World is in its second edition (2008) and has been translated into Turkish (2010). Over 100,000 copies have been distributed and sold.
The exhibition is also accompanied by a short film, 1001 Inventions and the Library of Secrets, a 13-minute film starring Sir Ben Kingsley as the 13th Century master engineer Al-Jazari who takes a group of modern school children on a journey of enlightenment through the erroneously named 'Dark Ages' of civilisation, and demonstrates how men and women of many different faiths, living within the Muslim civilisation, made exceptional advances in science and technology and paved the way for the European Renaissance. The film has won major awards, including awards at the New York Film Festival, the US International Film Festival (Los Angeles), the Hamburg International Film Festival (Germany), the IVCA (London), and at the Cannes Corporate Media Awards:
The exhibition will continue touring the United States throughout 2011 and a memorandum of understanding was signed in January 2011 with Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi to develop a Muslim Heritage Science and Engineering Exhibition to be included in their Discovery Centre.

Cuarzo Producciones and Constantin Entertainment ink co-production deal to produce the first ever scripted reality show for Spain
Cuarzo Producciones, a Banijay Group company, has entered into a long term co-production agreement with one of Germany's largest production companies, Constantin Entertainment. The relationship begins this year with the two companies working together to produce the first ever scripted documentary series for Spain.
The (as yet unnamed) 30 episode series, due to air on a Mediaset channel during Spring 2012, is to draw heavily on Constantin Entertainment's expertise in the popular genre of scripted documentary. Constantin Entertainment has enjoyed a marked success with the genre throughout Europe with productions such as Judge Alexander Hold in Germany and Family Stories, which has been a major hit in Greece and Poland and has gone on to be adapted in Croatia and Serbia.
The scripts for the new production are likely to follow successful themes used in other Constantin Entertainment productions, for example, revolving around a real lead character who is hiding a big secret from his or her family and friends – that is, until it is revealed in the show.
Pedro Rodriguez, Managing Director at Cuarzo Producciones comments, "We are very excited to work alongside such an innovative company as Constantin to bring the first ever scripted documentary series to Spain. Having pioneered the genre in several other markets, we are confident that we have chosen a highly experienced partner to do this 'hot' genre justice in Spain. We are excited that the long term deal gives us the opportunity to really learn from Constantin and bring a lot of great television to the Spanish market."
Christoph von Issendorff, Head of International Division at Constantin Entertainment: "We are extremely proud to have Cuarzo as partner for the co-production of the first scripted documentary series in Spain. The professionalism and creativity of their team will enable our co-production to bring the international success of this new genre to Spain."

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. -- A wildfire burning near Dover and Bluebird Road grew between 25 and 30 acres on Monday evening. Department of Natural Resources workers said the flames threatened six nearby buildings.
Firefighters initially estimated that the fire stretched between 15 and 20 acres around 4:30 p.m.
Crews called an air tanker to help battle the fire. Fifteen fire engines, at least four helicopters and tankers, and a dozers were all on scene by 6:30 p.m. Firefighters said the flames burned mainly sage, grass, and pine trees.
Crews said the fire has been a challenge to combat.
"A lot of steep, rocky, broken ground which has proven to be difficult for some of the dozers. We've tried to run around it," said Matt Ugaldea from the Department of Natural Resources. Another problem was changing weather and especially the wind which kept changing directions.
Some neighbors said they evacuated voluntarily but others said that they felt safe with the defensible space around their house.
The DNR said that crews expected to work through the night. The cause is still under investigation.

We were on flight 259
We don't like flying. We think it's scary. So it was our special luck to fly to Burbank airport (Los Angeles) on Jet Blue tonight and watch flight #292, our return flight, circle LAX for 4 hours before landing safely (thank God!). Since Jet Blue has television sets in every seat, everyone was watching the live coverage, talking amongst themselves, trying not to be scared shitless and just glad it wasn't us.
Here's a pic of what we saw on the plane as well as our lovely cabin. Oh, and by the way, Jet Blue - despite their front wheel issues - is an absolutely lovely airline and the attendants and captain were first rate. So were the passengers. When Flight #292 landed safely, everyone cheered, and when we landed, everyone cheered.
9 Comments
NYC is so glad you're safe and sound in LA!
Yes! So glad to see you are safe and sound. What a harrowing event. And kudos to that pilot for taking a scary situation and doing the best job possible.
So, will you fly jet blue again?
Yikes - heard about this on the news this morning -- never thought I'd have such a "personal" connection to the incident. Thank goodness you are ok!!!
Yikes! Glad you were safe, Maxwell. I was watching that, too (safely on the ground) and was trying to take heart by thinking of my mother, a stew back in the late 50s and early 60s, who is utterly blase about engines stopping, propellers falling off, wheels not descending and other malfunctions, because she's seen them all.
Yikes. I bet when JetBlue installed TVs at every seat, they had no idea the monitors would be used for purposes like these.
Um, I wonder if the people on the actual flight that had the trouble were watching it too?
Yes, I read that the people on the flight were watching it live. Now, that would be surreal!
Glad you were on flight 259 and not 292! When we were watching the live coverage in my office last night, a thought flashed that this might be your flight since more and more folks are using JetBlue for their cross-country hops. Luckily, happy endings for all. (BTW, I did see on the late news last night that folks on 292 were watching news coverage on their monitors until the TVs were switched off about an hour prior to final landing. Frightening.)
We heard as well that the folk on 292 were watching their sets - not that they were going to learn anything new, however - and the funny thing about all this information was that the more you watched it the calmer we all got (at least on our plane). The worst moments were the first one when we realized what was going on up ahead and whether or not we were in any danger at all, but after that, watching the tv was sort of like taking sedatives. If it had been off, it might have been worse.
somehow, feeling like we knew what was going on made us calmer than being left in the dark with only our worries to grow.
Nevertheless, i am not looking forward to flying back on Saturday. And yes, i (guess i) will be flying Jet Blue.
FYI, the pilot and the crew on our flight said NOTHING about any of this while we were in flight and gave us all the usual "thank you for flying with us" and "hope your flight was good" and "have a pleasant stay in the LA area, and hope to see you on a Jet Blue flight again" sort of stuff at the end. it was sort of eerie not to have them mention ANYTHING.
they even said the thing about how Jet Blue gets a new plane every month and the people in my row said, "that will be at least two new planes THIS month."

Canon's latest DSLR is a completely new proposition from the company. Slotting in between the EOS 1100D and 600D in the Canon EOS line-up, the Canon EOS 100D (also known as the Rebel SL1 in North America) has become the world's smallest and lightest DSLR available today.
We got our hands on a pre-production model ahead of the full product launch, and got to take a closer look at what should prove to be a popular DSLR. For our opinions, check out our video review below or head on over to our Canon EOS 100D review page.

Along with Olympus/Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds and Samsung's Hybrid system, Sony's NEX system is part of a new category of camera that boasts DSLR sensors and image quality and interchangeable lenses but, thanks to the omission of the DSLR's mirror assembly which greatly reduces the lens to sensor distance, in much smaller compact-style bodies. The category was created to satisfy what research has shown to be gap in the market for people wanting to upgrade from compacts to something offering more creativity and better quality, but who find DSLRs too big and intimidating. They also appeal to DSLR users wanting something smaller to carry around al the time. No collective name has been agreed for this sector, though popular choices include Micro System camera, Compact System Camera and Compact Interchangeable Lens Camera.

Molecule of the Week
December 17, 2007
Ethanethiol, or ethyl mercaptan, is best known as the smell of a natural gas leak. It has been added to natural gas supplied to many areas because it can be identified by humans at the extremely low concentration of ~8.7 ppt. It is also used to treat petroleum processing catalysts, and as a precursor for herbicides and pesticides.

It's not often that I find wisdom at Jimmy John's. Tasty sandwiches, sure, but not usually wisdom. Today at Jimmy John's I was reading a sign on the wall while waiting for my lunch.
So it's time to go back to school. While a tiny handful of universities do provide a class or two about humanism, most don't. But the good news is that as of yesterday anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can learn about humanism for free. What's more, you might even be able to get college credit for the courses. The Continuum of Humanist Education (COHE) is the world's first online, interactive humanist educational program. The Institute for Humanist Studies debuted COHE in 2004 with rave reviews from students and humanist leaders around the world. But until today, only the introductory courses on humanism were free. Level two classes used to cost users $10, and advanced level courses used to cost users $25.

Fissure vent
A fissure vent, also known as a volcanic fissure or simply fissure, is a linear volcanic vent through which lava erupts, usually without any explosive activity. The vent is usually a few meters wide and may be many kilometres long. Fissure vents can cause large flood basalts and lava channels. This type of volcano is usually hard to recognize from the ground and from outer space because it has no central caldera and the surface is mostly flat. The volcano can usually be seen as a crack in the ground or on the ocean floor. Narrow fissures can be filled in with lava that hardens. As erosion removes its surroundings, the lava mass could stand above the surface as a dyke. The dykes that feed fissures reach the surface from depths of a few kilometers. Fissures are usually found in or along rifts and rift zones, such as Iceland and the East African Rift. Fissure vents are often found in shield volcanoes.
In Iceland, volcanic vents are often long fissures parallel to the rift zone where lithospheric plates are diverging. Renewed eruptions generally occur from new parallel fractures offset by a few hundred to thousands of metres from the earlier fissures. This distribution of vents and voluminous eruptions of fluid basaltic lava usually build up a thick lava plateau rather than a single volcanic edifice. The Laki fissure system produced the biggest eruption on earth in historical times, in the form of a flood basalt, during the Eldgjá eruption A.D. 934, which released 19.6 km³ (4.7 mi³) of lava.
The radial fissure vents of Hawaiian volcanoes produce "curtains of fire" as lava fountains erupt along a portion of a fissure. These vents produce low ramparts of basaltic spatter on both sides of the fissure. More isolated lava fountains along the fissure produce crater rows of small spatter and cinder cones. The fragments that form a spatter cone are hot and plastic enough to weld together, while the fragments that form a cinder cone remain separate because of their lower temperature.

Strengths: It is comfortable, I don't give a stuff on what anyone has written. It fits my dimensions like a glove. It is better than most stock seats.
Weaknesses: The stitching is a b1tchin. Twice I have taken my saddle back to the vendor because the stitching has come loose. Not happy. But it is cheep and comfortable so I can't complain. Beats the stock Gary Fisher seats at the low end. THese G-F seats were designed for male sterility.

Date Reviewed: August 27, 1998
Bottom Line:
Was quite suprised to read so many negative reviews on this saddle. Admittedly not as comfortable as the SDG on my road bike, but geez, don't you all ever STAND UP when you ride off road? I got this cuz:
--I bent the steel rail Trek saddle that came with my FS bike
--I LIKE being able to slide off the back of the saddle without spreading my legs wide enough to give birth
--very light
--very cheap on saleIf you plan on parking your keester on the saddle for 4 solid hours off road, then get an SDG or WTB-SST($$$), but if you need a light, narrow, affordable place to rest your behind for a few moments at a time while REALLY riding off road, then consider the Bontrager Ti, leather or Kevlar. At $29 on sale, WHO CARES if it tears and looks a little ragged? After a season's use, my legs and elbows look worse than this saddle.

Bone Scan
With bone scans, metastasis can be identified in the bones before they become visible in an x-ray.
Bone scintigraphy, commonly referred to as bone scan (also skeletal scintigraphy) is a special nuclear medical method for examination that measures the traces of radioactive agent, e.g. previously administered radioactive medication accumulated inside the bone. The distribution patterns and the amount of tracers allow for indications of an increased metabolism, such is generally found with metastasic prostate cancer.

Continuous painting mode for paint profiling is now available in Chrome Canary. This article explains how you identify a problem in page painting time and how you can use this new tool to detect bottlenecks in painting performance.
So you noticed that your page doesn't scroll smoothly. This is how you would start tackling the problem. For our example, we'll use the demo page Things We Left On The Moon by Dan Cederholm as our example.
You open the Web Inspector, start a Timeline recording and scroll your page up
and down. Then you look at the vertical timelines, that show you what happened
in each frame.
If you see that most time is spent painting (big green bars above 60fps), you need to take a closer look at why this is happening. To investigate your paints, use the Show paint rectangles setting of the Web Inspector (cog icon in the bottom right corner of the Web Inspector). This will show you the regions where Chrome paints.
There are different reasons for Chrome to repaint areas of the page:
As a developer you need to be aware of the repaints happening on your page.
Looking at the paint rectangles is a great way of doing that. In the example
screenshot above you can see that the whole screen is covered in a big paint
rectangle. This means the whole screen is repainted as you scroll, which is not
good. In this specific case this is caused by the CSS style
background-attachment:fixed which causes the background image of the page to
stay at the same position while the content of the page moves on top of it as
you scroll.
If you identify that the repaints cover a big area and/or take a long time, you have two options:
You can try to change the page layout to reduce the amount of painting. If
possible Chrome paints the visible page only once and adds parts that have
not been visible as you scroll down. However, there are cases when Chrome
needs to repaint certain areas. For example the CSS rule
which is often used for navigation elements that stay in the same position,
can cause these repaints.
If you want to keep your page layout, you can try to reduce the painting cost of the areas that get repainted. Not every CSS style has the same painting cost, some have little impact, others a lot. Figuring out the painting costs of certain styles can be a lot of work. You can do this by toggling styles in the Elements panel and looking at the difference in the Timeline recording, which means switching between panels and doing lots of recordings. This is where continuous painting mode comes into play.
Continuous painting mode is a tool that helps you identify which elements are costly on the page. It puts the page into an always repainting state, showing a counter of how much painting work is happening. Then, you can hide elements and mutate styles, watching the counter, in order to figure out what is slow.
In order to use continuous painting mode you need to use Chrome Canary.
On Linux systems (and some Macs) you need to make sure that Chrome runs in
compositing mode. This can be permanently enabled using the GPU compositing on
all pages setting in
Continuous painting mode can be enabled via the checkbox Enable continuous page repainting in the Web Inspector's settings (cog icon in the bottom right corner of the Web Inspector).
The small display in the top right corner shows you the measured paint times in milliseconds. More specifically it shows:
The paint time measurements are dependent on screen resolution, window size and the hardware Chrome is running on. Be aware that these things are likely to be different for your users.
This is how you can use continuous painting mode to track down elements and styles that add a lot of painting cost:
The animation below shows toggling styles and its affect on paint time:
This example demonstrates how turning either one of the CSS styles
border-radius off, reduces the painting time by a big amount. Using both
box-shadow and
border-radius on an element leads to very expensive painting
operations, because Chrome can't optimize for this. So if you have an element
that gets a lot of repaints, like in the example, you should avoid this
Continuous painting mode repaints the whole visible page. This is usually not the case when browsing a web page. Scrolling usually only paints the parts that haven't been visible before. And for other changes on the page, only the smallest possible area is repainted. So check with another Timeline recording if your style improvements actually had an impact on the paint times of your page.
When using continuous painting mode you might discover that e.g. the CSS
border-radius and
box-shadow add a lot of painting time. It is not
discouraged to use those features in general, they are awesome and we are happy
they are finally here. But it's important to know when and where to use them.
Avoid using them in areas with lots of repaints and avoid overusing them in

5 Things to Remember When Painting with Bright Colors
A few months ago my husband and I decided to paint our new main floor bathroom yellow. Buzz Lightyear yellow to be exact (yes from the Disney line). As you can see there's all sorts of work that still needs to be done, but there were a few things I learned along the way that I really wish I would have known about before I started!
Although our bathroom is far from finished and has somehow transformed into a holding area for things we don't want broken during the rest of our other remodeling, we learned a great deal about working with brightly tinted paint. If you can look past the toilet seat waiting to be installed, check out the tips below and share your thoughts in the comments!
1. Use a Separate Primer: There's all sorts of cool new paints on the market, many of which offer the ease and speed of having a primer built into them. That's all well and good if you're looking for something a little more neutral, but when it comes to brightly pigmented paint, you need a separate primer. 3 different store associates (from different stores) gave us warning that if we used the all-in-one products, we'd be using 4-5 gallons of paint and although the commercials said 1-2 coats, it would be more like 7-8 instead!
2. Prime Like Your Life Depends On It: Now neither my husband or I are new to painting. We've painted a million different surfaces in a million different homes (ok, so that number might be a little exaggeration) and there isn't much that surprises us. We put on 2 coats of our tinted yellow primer (3 in some spots that needed it) and after we started painting we wished we would have done more. Any spot, speck or previous bit of color will show through. If you don't cover it with primer, it will take more paint in the end (which is usually thinner, so it will take quite a bit more).
3. Consider the Sun: We can joke all day that you need your sunglasses to see in our bathroom (well at least my Father can), but truth be told, there's a one-hour window when the sun is at its highest right above our bathroom window where that joke, actually kind of comes true. It's like doing your business on the sun. Literally on the sun. We wouldn't change it, because honestly, we find it to be rather humorous, but for others less adventurous than us, it is for sure something to take into consideration.
4. Accent with More than White & Black: Any color when it's at its brightest can easily be accented by white or black. Although we thought we would tone down the yellow with as much white as we could cram into a small space, what really made it come together was blue. A little neon blue and green was just what the doctor ordered and things suddenly snapped into place (you'll have to wait a little longer for that reveal).
5. Give It 4 Months: During the process of painting, my brain was freaking out. It was yellow, so yellow that when I stepped out of the room to grab a drink or roll my sleeves back up, everything else was tinted yellow! Once it was on the walls, it was bright — so bright that I wasn't really sure it would work. The holidays happened and now that we're 3 months down the road, I love it and can't imagine changing it. (But a few days or even weeks after the job had been done, I still wasn't sure.) So make sure and give your space at least 4 months before you repaint if you really feel you've gone wrong!

Best Painting Tips

We once painted a windowless bathroom bright, bright yellow and it was a huge success. The room was so dungeon-y before that. We lit it softly with a chain of christmas lights. I couldn't believe that a bright color light that just seemed to generate light all on its own.
When I was painting my art room (Valspar's Reflection Pond) I was convinced it was too bright, but with furniture and curtains it's perfect.
Often times when I've had issues with thin primer/paint, it's usually just the problem of crappy paint. Not to plug products here but I only use BJ Moore paint and after 3 coats and no primer you can't see anything but underneath. For super saturated colors you're better to prime with a white paint, if you use anything else it will make the color look muddy and desaturated. Just my 2 cents.
I painted my bedroom "limeade" green last summer and I did have to use a solid 3 coats of paint to cover the gray-blue color that was previously on the walls.
I also suffered from the intermittent panic while rolling the bright paint on top of a very muted color, wondering if I was making a huge mistake.
The first day with my window open and the sun shining in, I noticed a toxic glow in the hallway. It may be worth considering using more matte paint (I used satin).
I absolutely love the color though.
tinypuppy, Waiting.... Both good notes, we used the primer color that came suggested from the folks at Disney to get the best result in color we could.
Thank you for the post! I have always had to live in neutral places (parents, renting) that to go with bright and bold colors both scare and excite me but I can't wait to start paint up a storm!
Anymore than two coats of primer and paint is an indicator that you have poor paint (in my opinion). If you are worried about colour bleeding, use KILLS (it is the most wonderful base coat when painting, it covers everything) as a base coat, apply a primer and then your paint colour.
Same here. I very carefully selected some bright colors to paint the walls of my home, after watching them in all sorts of lighting conditions for a few weeks. Once they were up, I loved all of them instantly, except the bright yellow in our kitchen, and a pool-ish looking blue in the spare room/office. They took longer to get used to.
I was horrified with the yellow at first, thinking it was too much. But I loved it weeks later, after I got used to it. It's very cheerful and sunny in the kitchen, and I think the color suits the room.
The blue in the spare room took even longer to grow on me. I'm just starting to like it now, four months later, after wanting to change it for months. It's not any brighter than the other rooms, just not what I originally wanted. But I think I like it now, especially with some neutrals and decor added.
I absolutely agree with the 4 month rule! Sooo many colors I have used and loved have caused an initial gasp when I stepped back to look at the finished job.
I'm still trying to get used to the bright green that I painted in my kitchen. I still haven't learned to love it yet.
It does take awhile to get used to bright colors. I too painted my bathroom a bright yellow similar to yours but I did some glazes.
When I finished I broke into nervous giggles ...the Oh-My-God-What-Have-I-Done kind of giggles. It seemed so ridiculously bright BUT not only did I get used to it, I also received a lot of positive feedback and now I absolutely love it!
try painting a ceiling a cool shade like a gray to calm down and contrast any bright shade.
We painted our office bright blue. I agree with the sentiment at the end: sit with it for a while. I got so tired of the bazillion gallons of blue, that I would say I didn't even see blue anymore. Now, I love it!
After living for years in rental beige and whites, we decided that we would paint the rooms in our first home in anything but rental beige and white. We decided to paint the dining room a color that we like to call, "Nacho Cheese Yellow".
We love it and nearly everyone who has visited us absolutely hates it. I don't care. It makes it everything so sunny and happy. The only drawback is that after the sun sets, the overhead lights and the walls give everything a yellow tint.
The yellow looks great! I think that's THE toughest color to use well.
Sorry, but the "poor paint" argument just doesn't hold up when it comes to super bright, clean colors, especially in the yellow/orange/green family. Some brands will suck more, yes, but it's an issue for any super bright.
I use Benjamin Moore exclusively--widely considered very high quality paint. I've gone primer and 3+ coats as heavy as I could roll them without dripping on more than one occasion with the brights. I've been told that the pigment particles for those colors are so big, AND not opaque like other pigments, and they require so much pigment that it thins out the paint base. Plus those formulas don't contain any white (a very opaque pigment) like less intense colors.
So far, BM Chartreuse still wins for most coats of any paint of my career--5 plus primer. Luckily, it's on a wall that's only 23 feet tall with 14 painted window returns. Or not.
BM's Orange Juice was a 4 coater.
We painted our bathroom a very similarly neon shade of yellow (didn't really plan it that way, though...). It was definitely bright, sunglasses-worthy! Since our bathroom didn't have a window, it was kind of nice. We've since changed it to a less in-your-face color, but I still miss walking into a sunny bathroom some days. I agree with splatgirl - yellow's tough.
On the flipside of what bookcat advised... if it's a small area, like a hallway, consider painting the ceiling the same color. I painted my stairwell and upstairs hallway a Tang-ish orange, and at first it looked so harsh that I was considering having to tone it down. Then I decided to paint the ceiling in the same shade (as a base for the softer color I was just going to use on the walls and ceiling)... and loved it. Instead of looking harsh, the orange turned into an allover glow and looks amazing now.
I definitely agree that priming and priming and priming is sooo important. I painted a room bright red once and every little speck showed.
Priming totally depends on the colour. Bright yellows/vibrant reds? Absolutely. I've definitely used darker reds/bright greens/oranges with two coats of something like BM's Aura and had zero need to prime/third coat. Sometimes that expensive paint is worth it!
The amount of primer you need is also somewhat dependent on the sheen of your paint. Glossier paints tend to have less coverage than flatter ones, metallics are nearly always translucent.
Also, if you're strapped for cash you can save some money by base coating with a flat version of the same color Home Depot's America's Finest is particularly cheap and thoroughly underrated.
I painted a bath what I thought was a light turquoise. Small spaces tend to make the color bounce around and it ended up making the room neon turquoise. I could see the room from my bed and even at night, it still glowed too brightly (swear I could see the color through my lids when my eyes were closed). I lasted about a week before repainting it an even lighter shade of turquoise and now love it. I have light purple accents to go with the turquoise, white counters and dark (70s) cabinets with bamboo floors.
congrats on getting an effect you like, Sarah Rae! (it's not easy to plan a project and having it come on out as planned; ref to you saying "..3 months down the road, I love it and can't imagine changing it. =)) Congrats congrat again !!!
A friend of my painted a small room in her house a tangy aqua. After commenting that it felt like she was at the bottom of a pool, she repainted with the paint one tone down on the color strip and got the effect she wanted.
WHAT!? Buzz has yellow as a colour? That's stupid. Buzz is green, purple and white.
I wasn't too sure about using such a bright yellow, but once you mentioned using blue and green with it, I could totally see it. Can't wait to see the whole room!

Source: USDA
Today, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) will be instituting a zero-tolerance policy for six additional strains of E. coli that are responsible for human illness. FSIS will routinely test raw beef manufacturing trim, which is a major component of ground beef, for the six additional strains of E. coli. Trim found to be contaminated with these pathogens will not be allowed into commerce and will be subject to recall.
Illnesses due to E. coli serogroups other than O157:H7, which caused a high-profile illness outbreak in 1993, outnumber those attributed to O157:H7. FSIS declared O157:H7 an adulterant in 1994.
"These strains of E. coli are an emerging threat to human health and the steps we are taking today are entirely focused on preventing Americans from suffering foodborne illnesses," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "We cannot ignore the evidence that these pathogens are a threat in our nation's food supply."
The additional strains that will be treated as adulterants beginning today are Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) serogroups O26, O45, O103, O111, O121 and O145. Like E. coli O157:H7, these serogroups can cause severe illness and even death, and young children and the elderly are at highest risk.
Today's action is in addition to other significant public health measures FSIS has put in place during President Barack Obama's Administration to date to safeguard the food supply, prevent foodborne illness, and improve consumers' knowledge about the food they eat. These initiatives support the three core principles developed by the President's Food Safety Working Group: prioritizing prevention; strengthening surveillance and enforcement; and improving response and recovery. Some of these actions include:

|Award & Fellowships
The William L. Brown Award
The William L. Brown Award recognizes the outstanding contributions of an individual in the field of genetic resource conservation and use. It is administered by the William L. Brown Center (WLBC) at the Missouri Botanical Garden and is made possible through a generous endowment from the Sehgal Family Foundation, in cooperation with the family of Dr. Brown.
Bill Brown was a distinguished, internationally-recognized scientist, businessman, and humanitarian. Over the course of five decades, he devoted himself to the collection, preservation, understanding, and sharing of plant genetic resources in order to help meet the global demand for food. The William L. Brown Award recognizes an individual whose efforts and achievements reflect a concern for those issues that were so important to Dr. Brown.
In 2010, the Sixth William L. Brown Award for Excellence
in Genetic Resource Conservation will be given to Dr. Peter H. Raven,
president emeritus of the Missouri Botanical Garden and George Engelmann
Professor of Botany Emeritus at Washington University in St. Louis. In
addition, Dr. Raven is a Trustee of the National Geographic Society and
Chairman of the Society's Committee for Research and Exploration. For
nearly 39 years, Dr. Raven has headed the Missouri Botanical Garden, an
institution he has nurtured to become an international, world-class center
for botanical research, education, and horticulture display.
Previous recipients of the award include Nancy Turner of the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Gordon Cragg of the National Cancer Institute, Henry Shands of the USDA Agricultural Research Service, Carlos Ochoa of the Centro Internacional de la Papa (International Potato Center), and Calvin O. Qualset of the University of California at Davis. To read more, use the dropdown menu on the upper right hand corner of this page.
The Anne S. Chatham Fellowship
The Garden Club of America is pleased to announce a fellowship
open to Ph.D. candidates and recent Ph.D.s to promote the study of medicinal
botany. The fellowship was established to protect and preserve knowledge
about the medicinal use of plants, and thus prevent the disappearance
of plants with therapeutic potential. Providing this research opportunity
for botanists can, in turn, assist medical science in its ability to protect
lives, alleviate suffering, and develop new medicines. The fellowship
was created and endowed by a generous contribution from Anne S. Chatham,
a member of the Garden Club of America's Scholarship Committee and a member
of the Jupiter Island Garden Club.
