Linux gaming
By banishedsoul1 13 Comments
I would really love to see it be more supported. I do most daily activitys on my linux mint and pretty much just game on windows. But the funny thing is windows gets bloated and slows down so easy. I don't even use it that much and it seems to need way more tweaking then mint does. On top of that mint is freaking free and runs so fast.
There is hope with Steam going linux its getting some more attention. Even mac gaming is getting bigger which is a good sign. It would be nice if linux could get all the mac games ported over as they are closer to linux then windows is.
Windows 8 is looking awful its made for tablets and is even more locked down then ever. Even vavle does not want it!

Character Improvements
okay so I've been slightly lazy as my last thread about 2-3 months ago is dead and I'm just making a new one. This is my character that I drew a while back...
It's supposed to be a being made of shadow with internal flames, your replies were few but the gist was that the anatomy wasn't clear enough, there was too much smoke and overall it was a bit shit. So I re did it and this is how it ended up...
I think it's a hell of an improvement and looks much more like the way I imagined. What do you guys think? How can I improve this further and what works/doesn't work? Many thanks in advance, I'd love to hear your critiques.

I would like to see a more shapely head, something in the shape of "Fear me" The pointy teeth are a good start, but the dome shaped head says "I'm simple and caught myself on fire, please help" Also, why does he have only one eye? seems like he'd be more fearsome with two. And as a last thought, maybe make his obliques more noticeable.That's what I think anyway, good improvement though, if you can repeat the experience we'll be looking at one fine piece of art here!
I think the problem with pen&ink is that there is no Ctrl+z command.
writers and artists have a lot in common -- we both draw from life, we both paint pictures, and we'll both spend to many sleepless nights on our work.

Your hiding about 90% of your anatomy with fizzy smoke effects. I would suggest less of that, and more definition in your figure, not to mention a much more dynamic pose. The "im jesus on the cross" pose isn't very interesting to look at.
Either way, keep us posted on your progress

I like the fire/smoke effect you have! Not enough anatomy going on though, really not very interesting to look at.
I don't like the new fire bands...if he's supposed to be a shadow being, then shouldn't the flames be hidden(internal) within the shadow as opposed to sitting directly atop it like clothing?

Thanks for the comments guys I'll get to it, this version will be going forward into my portfolio but I'll get a newer version to compare it with.
Gunther: The one eye thing was my first thought with this creature it was the thing that kinda set the idea off so it's something I rele want to keep a hold of, I agree with you about the head shape, I need to shange that, maybe to focus more on the eye and make it more fearsome rather than half blind.
Blue: I agree with you there, my initial idea on the pose was much more dynamic but I couldn't pull it off (I've done a ton of anatomical studies since so I think I can pull it off now) so this pose held the most power I could manage at the time
Ian Mack: You've definately nailed it about those bands, on second look (I actually started this about 2 months ago but my computer was out of action for a month) they are very flat and do look like clothing. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to make the flames more internal and the being more shadowy? Thanks again.

Unfortunately it only strips ASCII non-alphanumeric characters. Apart from a few exceptions, all multi-byte characters are preserved. This means all non-Western (and plenty of Western) non-alphanumeric characters end up in the slug as they're treated just like any other multi-byte character. As an example, here are some common non-alphanumeric Chinese characters which would ideally be stripped from slugs, but are not: * 。 (U+3002, Ideographic Full Stop, %E3%80%82) * , (U+FF0C, Fullwidth Comma, %EF%BC%8C) * !

The list would be gigantic. So the question is, would it be possible to use Unicode ranges to blacklist (or whitelist) whole ranges of characters to be stripped from (or preserved in) slugs? Is this practical or even desirable? Or would it make more sense to continue using a list of just the most common multi-byte characters to be stripped?

$message\n""; } }}} Living in misc.php, this is clearly not the most loved function in WordPress, but beyond its lack of documentation and arguments it also actually doesn't make sense when combined with the nature of WP_Error, and I'd argue that it should be a first-class citizen of the WP_Error API. === Deal with the input as WP_Error class by default === For one thing its argument is named $message, which is a misnomer since it also supports complex WP_Error objects. I think it should be called $error and it should attempt to handle the error object in as much detail as possible. If this function is given a string instead of an error_object it should just show the text with the default formatting. === Move it into the class defintion === The function logic should also be moved to be inside WP_Error as ::show_message() as well as maybe adding a ::show_messages() to differentiate between forcing the first message in the object and showing any relevant messages. The original function can be kept as a shell for the class method. === Support $code and $data better === The updated function should allow $code values to be specified to show only messages related to a specific error $code (from WP_Error::add()) as well as some kind of option specifying whether the contents of the $data value for the results should be displayed. === Add support for 'types' of errors for display purposes === To really have valuable visual cues linked with error display the system needs to be adapted to handle error types like 'error', 'updated' and something green like 'success'. Having this be part of hte API would increase the likelihood of people using the system because it will make it easier to quickly add visual errors to a plugin. IMHO the easiest way to achieve this would be to link 'types' with CSS classes expected to exist in wp-admin. 'updated' and 'error' classes already exist, yellow and red respectively, and can be a starting point. This way marking an error as 'error' or 'updated' automatically controls the color it will be when show_messages() is run. This would probably require modifying the WP_Error::wp_error() and WP_Error::add() methods to accept a 4th argument, but would be a great step forward. === Use nice formatting === I think the formatting should be the same as the 'settings updated' message from after you save a settings page. It is malleable and stands out in the admin: {{{

School Notes:
Waldorf education balances artistic, academic and practical work educating the whole child - hand and heart as well as mind. Its innovative methodology and developmentally-oriented curriculum, permeated with the arts, address the child's changing consciousness as it unfolds, stage by stage. Imagination and creativity are cultivated as well as cognitive growth and a sense of responsibility for the earth and its inhabitants. Under the warm and active instruction of their teachers, children are provided with a creative and nurturing environment in which to develop, grow and learn. Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf education is based on a developmental approach that addresses the needs of the growing child and maturing adolescent. Waldorf teachers strive to transform education into an art that educates the whole child.

66 stranded OFWs return home from Jeddah
A total of 66 stranded Filipino workers have finally returned to the Philippines from Jeddah after they were repatriated by Saudi deportation authorities, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Tuesday.
Almost 200 Filipino workers still remain at the Hajj terminal in Jeddah - a safe house temporarily provided by the Philippine Consulate for stranded workers who are awaiting repatriation. - Ronaldo Concha
In a statement, the DFA said the group consisted of 24 adults and 42 children. They arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport at 6 a.m. Tuesday.
According to Anthony Basil, administration staff of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), most of these workers were runaways from Riyadh and the Eastern Province.
But instead of seeking help from the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh or the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Alkhobar, many of the workers opted to travel to Jeddah in hopes of being sent home for free by Saudi authorities through a deportation process.
Some of them even lived under the Khandara Overpass, along with other nationals such as Indians, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis, who are also trying to attract the attention of Saudi police so that they would be brought to their countries.
The DFA said Friday that they were the ones who recommended the case of the OFWs to the Saudi immigration. DFA undersecretary for migrant workers affairs Esteban Conejos Jr. said 170 of the workers would soon be repatriated.
According to the Philippine Consulate General in Jeddah, a group consisting of 62 females, six males, and three children is expected to arrive on Wednesday at 11 a.m. This will be the third group of Filipinos to be repatriated from Jeddah. The first batch brought home 100 workers while the second repatriated 66.
At present, there are still 123 male and 52 female stranded OFWs awaiting repatriation at the Hajj terminal.
The Filipino community in Saudi Arabia is estimated to have reached 1.2 million last year and the figure continues to increase. It is also still the top destination among overseas Filipino workers, data from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration showed. - Kimberly Jane T. Tan and Ronaldo Z. Concha, GMANews.TV

Letter: Why Florida Atlantic University shouldn't let CEO Group advertise itself with stadium name
Robert Ellenson, Port St. Lucie
Letter: Why FAU shouldn't let CEO Group advertise itself with stadium name
I am critically concerned about the donation by GEO Group of Palm Beach for the "naming rights" to the new football stadium at Florida Atlantic University.
GEO runs prisons for a profit. As a former correctional officer, I believe that privatizing prison systems is a horrendously bad idea.
The U.S. prison system is in awful shape. Prison overpopulation is at an all-time high. The lack of rehabilitation initiatives coupled with the inability to distinguish between violent and nonviolent criminals and how they are treated makes our country unique in this manner.
There are many prison models — in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, to name a few — that do an infinitely better job of dealing with incarceration, the human dignity of its prisoners and the aftereffects of incarceration.
So many of the prisoners being released in the United States today have low self-esteem from being brutalized. They are more violent, and more likely to resist going back with violence if they face that prospect in the future.
The general public is obscenely naive to the problem.
It is bad enough that the federal, state, and municipal governments can't handle the prisoners with dignity and segregate the violent ones from the huge number of nonviolent ones, but at least there has been no profit motive to provide substandard conditions to this point.
Simple apathy and lack of leadership in our government, and a lack of awareness by the general public, have caused these problems.
GEO Group, on the other hand, has a profit incentive to cut every corner possible in managing our prison population. I don't believe the business should exist, let alone advertise at a college in our community.

Genomes operate as sophisticated information storage systems. Generic repeated signals in the DNA format expression of coding sequence files and organize additional functions essential for genome replication and accurate transmission to progeny cells. Retroelements comprise a major fraction of many genomes and contain a surprising diversity of functional signals. In this article, we summarize some features of the taxonomic distribution of retroelements, especially mammalian SINEs, tabulate functional roles documented for different classes of retroelements, and discuss their potential roles as genome organizers. In particular, the fact that certain retroelements serve as boundaries for heterochromatin domains and provide a significant fraction of scaffolding/matrix attachment regions (S/MARs) suggests that the reversed transcribed component of the genome plays a major architectonic role in higher order physical structuring. Employing an information science model, the "functionalist" perspective on repetitive DNA leads to new ways of thinking about the systemic organization of cellular genomes and provides several novel possibilities involving retroelements in evolutionarily significant genome reorganization.

Justice: Divorce isn't good for UT or A&M
By RICHARD JUSTICE, Copyright 2011 Houston Chronicle | August 23, 2011 | Updated: August 23, 2011 8:51pm
Photo By Ronald Martinez/StaffCOLLEGE STATION, TX - NOVEMBER 25: Quarterback Vince Young #10 of the Texas Longhorns meets with Reggie McNeal #1 of the Texas A&M Aggies at the end of the game on November 25, 2005 at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. The Longhorns defeated the Aggies 40-29. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Vince Young;Reggie McNeal
Photo By Smiley N. Pool/StaffTexas A& M yell leaders Bubba Moser Jr., left, and Ricky Wood Jr., watchs as the Longhorn band performs 'Amazing Grace' during half time of the Aggies win over the Longhorns 20-16 Friday, Nov. 26, 1999 in College Station, Texas. (Smiley N. Pool/Chronicle) HOUCHRON CAPTION (11/28/1999): Texas A&M yell leaders Bubba Moser Jr., left, and Ricky Wood Jr., watch from the sideline as the University of Texas Longhorn band performs 'Amazing Grace' during half time in honor of the 12 Aggies who died last week in the Bonfire collapse.
I keep thinking the Longhorns and Aggies are going to come to their senses and do the right thing. We all know what that is, don't we?
Sure, Texas A&M's threats to leave are getting old. Yes, the Aggies will look silly if they don't go after another round of thumb-sucking about the Longhorn Network.
Likewise, Texas is sickeningly arrogant. It believes the rest of the world is there to kiss its feet, and that attitude makes for a poor partnership.
OK, so this delightful old couple has a few differences. Let them sit down, have a few cold ones and remember the good times.
Has everyone forgotten Bonfire? That was when the Longhorns reached out to the Aggies in their hour of grief and when the two sides were reminded they're way more similar than they like to admit.
There are no issues on the table that can't be negotiated. Zero. Zip. If former lieutenant governor Bob Bullock were still alive, he'd lock the two sides in a room and force them to talk to one another.
Unfortunately, there's no Bullock around. Rick Perry could do it, but he has other things on his mind. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe is in a position to do it, but it's not clear if either school will listen to him.
Baylor president Ken Starr has tried to make peace, but he carries less weight than Mack Brown's shoe salesman.
I'd suggest Texas president Bill Powers telephone his A&M counterpart, R. Bowen Loftin, and seek a secret meeting to put everything on the table, to jawbone and see if there's a middle ground.
My guess is that Texas is way more willing to negotiate than the Aggies. UT may realize the Longhorn Network is going to end up being more trouble than its worth.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M has to be having at least a few second thoughts about going to the Southeastern Conference, where the road to a BCS game will be unimaginably more difficult.
If it's about money, that can be negotiated. In fact, just about anything can be negotiated if the two sides would just take a deep breath and count to 10.
Unfortunately, neither side seems inclined to have a dialogue. Texas A&M is going to run off to the SEC and consider the consequences later. Texas is going to let the Aggies go because no one tells UT what to do.
Before the divorce is final, I hope someone reminds these people that they're better together than apart. That was true a half-century ago, and it will be true a half-century from now.
Collateral damage
And it's not just them. There's significant collateral damage if the Big 12 fails. If that happens, Baylor will be thrown on the side of the road.
Baylor has grand plays to build a new stadium, but as Drayton McLane said last week, "We can't build it without some assurances about the conference."
Likewise, Texas Tech needs UT and A&M, too.
Here's a solution. Instead of allowing the Big 12 to come undone, why not sit down and strengthen it?
How about inviting TCU? Why not whisper sweet nothings, show it a grand vision of what the Big 12 can be, and promise to make the Horned Frogs a partner?
Let's invite SMU back to the party, too. The Mustangs have a nice stadium and an exciting product. The University of Houston has to be included. It got caught up in a maelstrom of state politics 16 years ago.
Suddenly, the Big 12 would be better and more interesting, and when Missouri finally leaves, the conference will be held together by more than a thread.
There are a dozen versions of this plan. BYU? Hey, invite 'em along. Air Force? Why not?
You can put pencil to paper and come up with an assortment of scenarios. But all of them begin with Texas and Texas A&M being willing to sit down and negotiate a truce.
Fences to mend
This begins with Texas, which has some mending of fences to do. It must assure the Aggies it can be trusted, and it has to look at the possibility that a mega-television contract forthe entire conference is better than one school having a deal that benefits one school.
It has been a couple of weeks since Texas A&M decided to leave. Surely, tempers have cooled. Surely, a discussion can be opened.
Or is it all just a cash grab?
If that's what it is, shame on all of them. Is either school hurting for cash? Their teams fly around the country in private jets, and their facilities are among the best in the nation.
Instead of thinking small, of thinking selfishly, why not think together? Why not come up with something that works for everyone?
This appears to be a divorce driven by money and ego, and isn't that sad? How about it, Bill Powers? You, too, R. Bowen Loftin. Give peace a chance.

Adam McQuaid shut down 2-3 weeks
Defenseman Adam McQuaid won't be playing any time soon, a victim of a quad strain that he aggravated Jan. 19 against the Blackhawks. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said McQuaid will be shut down two to three weeks, with the Bruins waiting to see how the injury reacts.
"I'm not sure what's going to happen with Adam," Chiarelli said. "We're going to shut him down for two to three weeks. His injury, while it keeps healing, he has setbacks. We're going to just give him rest, two to three weeks, and see where it is after that."
That made it more important to get not just a left-shot defenseman to potentially challenge Matt Bartkowski for playing time, but also to get another option for depth. That was where Andrej Meszaros and Corey Potter came in.
"He's got a quad strain, and he was really close -- you've heard Claude [Julien] say about him being like ready to go and stuff, and he had good sessions over the Olympic break -- he just re-aggravated it," Chiarelli said.
"We had something similar with Jared Knight last year. We just basically shut the player down for a couple weeks, and just rest, and he came around. That's what I would expect would happen."

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this installment of Illustrator Insider Training, author Mordy Golding shows how to create type that's both beautiful and communicative, whether it's destined for logos, brochures, signs, infographics, or simple documents. This course covers core typography concepts, such as working with Unicode and OpenType fonts, applying character and paragraph settings, managing text with styles and text threads, placing text along a path, and wrapping text around graphics.
When I'm working with text inside of just about any design project, I try to avoid actually typing letters, especially if I am going to be copying and pasting text that a client sends me. I don't want to run it to the problem of potentially introducing typos into my document. However, there come many times when I have some text inside of my document but it's set to the wrong case. Like right now, I have this phrase, "Say it with flowers," and maybe I want there to be initial caps for each of these words. So I maybe want a capital I, a capital W, and a capital F for each of the words.
Well, I could take my Type tool and start messing around with actually highlighting the text and changing it to uppercase, but then later on, I might want to change it to lowercase, or like I said before, I don't want to run in the risk of actually introducing potential typos. So it's nice to know that Illustrator has the ability to change case in a few different ways. The nice thing is that I can actually do it at the character level, meaning if I have my type selected this way, or I actually select the entire type object. You'll find this setting here inside the Type menu, under where it says Change Case.
I can either change my text to be all uppercase. I could change it to be all lowercase. I can use title case here, which is what I was looking for it to begin with, where each word begins with a capital letter. Or I can choose sentence case, which I find very useful also, where just the first word gets a capital letter, and then it remains lowercase until it reaches a period or the end of the text string. Of course this setting applies to either working with Point type or Area type, and using this feature is certainly easier than retyping all the words directly from your keyboard.

Reason for Reporting

Though few of us in Saskatchewan would deny the need for a strong minimum wage, to help protect our most vulnerable working people, it might be time for our province to consider implementing a maximum wage.
Because wages for the middle class in Canada have remained flat, after being adjusted for inflation, since the 1970s, and because successive governments have made repeated efforts to weaken working people's organizations and to erode economic democracy, it comes as little surprise that the income gap has widened significantly over the past several decades.
A 2009 study showed that, in Saskatchewan, the lowest-earning 50 percent of families with children took home just 19.6 percent of provincial earnings. Meanwhile, the highest 10 percent took a staggering 28 percent of earnings. In contrast, in 1976 the lowest-earning 50 percent of families would have accounted for nearly 27 percent of total earnings.
Despite the low-wage agenda that permeates our business world and our politics today, there are those that are defying the trend. For 35 years, Ontario-based Lee Valley Tools has linked the highest wages in the company to the lowest as a ratio. The highest paid employee can never make more than 10 times the rate of the company's lowest-paid employee. Again in contrast, the effective wage ratio in Canada's biggest companies was, on average, 122-to-one last year. Only a decade ago the ratio was 84-to-one.
Lee Valley Tools is not alone. A new international certification agency called the Wagemark Foundation recognizes employers that maintain a ratio between highest and lowest-paid employees of eight-to-one or lower, and new companies are being certified all the time.
If our governments are serious about addressing what has become one of the greatest social and economic problems in our society, then they must act on bridging the income gap. Enforcing a ratio for earnings is just one example of a policy that would benefit the economy, benefit our communities, and, most importantly, benefit Saskatchewan people.
Though the minimum wage sometimes makes its way into public discussion, it's time for us to start talking about a maximum wage.

The star of Intolerable Cruelty, the Oscar-winning Welsh-born actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed what it's like to suffer from manic depression, in an effort to "help remove any stigma attached to it".
"I'm not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it is completely controllable," Zeta-Jones owned up in an interview with the US edition of InStyle magazine.
"I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don't have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it."
A year and a half ago the 43-year-old was diagnosed with bipolar disorder II and was admitted to rehab where she reportedly spent a week.
Then came months of worry and anxiety as her husband, Michael Douglas fought throat cancer. Zeta-Jones married the 'Basic Instinct' star Douglas, who is 25 years her senior, in 1998. The couple have a daughter and a son together.
Bipolar disorder is an imbalance in the brain's mood regulating system that can cause manic depression and can be fueled by stress and depression.
"You find out who you really are and who you're married to. You find things inside yourself you never imagined were there," the actress revealed in the December issue of InStyle.
"You can't escape what people say, and if you're human it can be painful," the actress says. "The smartest thing I did was to stop going online. I'm the sort of person who will just look for the negative," she added.

My dealer did not charge, but I've read where others have.Have only had it for 500 miles, but I am so glad I looked into this before buying a Cavalier. This is a roomy, comfortable car with decent performance and great safety features. Excellent stereo, very good handling and braking. The Special Edition is a classy looking car without the price. If the mileage and quality are as advertised, I can't see myself regretting this purchase one bit. Speaking of purchase, the 0% financing is very nice. Anyone looking at smaller imports should really consider this one as well.
2002 Saturn VUE - 4 CYL (CVT) AWD

Advice: Look no furtherI purchased the 2002 L100 Speical Edition on July 3, 2002. This has been the best car I've owned. I was looking to purchase a new car that was low cost far as the up keep. Also, I like the saturn's safety features. The L100 Speical Edition has curtain air bags this feature was most important to me. Also the room inside the back seat was a plus. I have enjoyed every minuite of my new saturn. I think I will have this car for many years to come.

Intuition by Estée Lauder
Intuitions spiced citrus and light floral top notes steer well clear of the cheap hard candy effect that plagues so many fruity floral scents. I attribute much of the accords delightful quality to its abstract nature. Rather than imitate a particular fruit, a cocktail, or a bubblegum flavor, it evokes an unnamed, imaginary fruit, and is all the better for it.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
'Wonderland' solo act keeps Canada weird
If you had the courage to go Canada's "Wonderland" amusement park in Toronto (or just the courage to go to country itself) during the 90s, you might have been taunted to go inside its newest attraction -- a karaoke room where random images were displayed on a green screen while you sang or danced for a few minutes.
The catch? Everyone else was watching you doing it outside on a giant screen.
So what happens when a guy shows up and starts to sort of dance/sort of work out/sort of do Tai Chi with the biggest hit of the Backstreet Boys while NASA clips play in the background?

Hi all
Unfortunately my DS (3) has a pretty bad infection in his penis. He has really
been doing a lot of touching and playing lately, I never stop him but I usually
try to get him to wash his hands...none the less yesterday he woke up
complaining that his penis hurt. He has had times where his penis has been
irritated and then says nothing more so I initially figures this was similar.
It was red and I did notice a bit of the white residue (have not really ever
noticed that before.) His penis pretty much retracts to reveal the urethral opening and
not much more.
The day went on and he kept complaining from pain, but had no problem urinating
or carrying on as normal. I called our Dr's nurse and consulted with her
and at that point we thought perhaps it was yeast. When I picked him up later
that day, he was still in pain. At home I looked at this penis and the head was
very swollen. It was red, painful to the touch and more swollen than I would
have imagined. I took him into the urgent care at the advice of the on-call doc
at our clinic. They sampled his urine and said no yeast just bacteria. They gave
us an antibiotic Sulfameth (2x/day/7 days). So he has had two doses of that and
I have has given him some ibuprofen for the pain and swelling.
This AM he woke up with puss and more noticeable white discharge in his
underwear and a very sensitive penis, still very swollen and red. I called the on-call doc again, he was
concerned that the antibiotic given was not right for the problem...he said wait
another day to see if it clears up.
Anyway, I was and am so very hesitant to give antibiotics
(this is the first he has taken). I am given him florajen capsules along with
lots of fresh yogurt. Does anyone else have advice on this topic?? We have had
such a normal and easy go at the whole thing until now and it seems very scary!
Thanks in advance! Jessica
It doesn't sound like a UTI...did they try for a clean catch? Just be very careful, because a lot of doctors will think an (obvious) infection like that will mean circumcision is necessary. It definitely is not.
You can try warm baths, sometimes baking soda can help and be soothing. I'm sorry you're going through this. If the antibiotic doesn't work, they need to change it, and it sounds very obvious he needs an antibiotic.

He may be going through through the stage where the foreskin seperates.
In that case, the white discharge is smegma and what is happening is normal.
No doubt in the US, there have been many many cases where doctors are unfamiliar with the normal development of the penis and seeing the seperation phase has led to unnecessary circumcision.
Is there a sticky somewhere which describes the normal development of the penis?

Here we go again with the "Leaf shutters are not as fast as they are marked" crap.
A properly serviced leaf shutter should be within 1/6th stop at all speeds. Where this they don't work as advertised comes from is people checking out old gummed up shutters, and people using a cheap shutter speed tester incorrectly.
Speed of leaf shutters is measured at the 70% open point. It takes a shutter about a milli-second to reach that point and another milli-second to finish closing from that point. That is 2 milli-seconds. Now a 1/500 second shutter speed is open for 2 milli-seconds, that is a total of 4 milli-seconds from start to finish. If you do not fallow the written instructions with your Calumet, or whatever, shutter speed tester you will get a reading of 1/250 second. But if you use a dimmer on the light so the tester does not start counting until that 70% open point then you will get a reading of 1/500 of a second, as you should.
Very expensive shutter speed testers, like the shutter and lens makers use, do all that automatically, but not many, if any, of the under $1000, much less under $100, do so. With my cheap Calumet tester, every properly working shutter I have tested, doing it correctly, has been within 1/6th of a stop at all shutter speeds.
Why do folks not see that error at slower speeds? No matter what shutter speed you have the shutter set for it is still going to have that 2 milli-second of lag, only at 1/100 sec that is a 2% error, hardly noticeable. With a 1/1000 sec shutter it is a 200% error in your reading (except that Graphic lens gets it speed from having less lag, and you will see only 100% at most.)
An easy way I use for quick shutter checks is to simply subtract those 2 milli-seconds from the reading on the tester, that gives an in the ball park shutter speed that is close enough to tell you if the shutter needs servicing.
If your shutter is actually a stop or two slow at its top speed, it needs servicing.
I am tired of this stupid old myth!

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 3/4/13
It's only been five quarters since Tony Parker, the San Antonio Spurs' definitive Most Valuable Player, sprained his left ankle. He will miss four weeks with a Grade 2 ankle sprain. But the numbers have been impressive regardless: 148 points, 48 assists, 12 3-pointers and 53.2 percent shooting. All numbers are well above average, even for one of the league's best offenses. One caveat: Its the Kings and Pistons. Both are in the bottom third in adjusted defensive rating according to Basketball Reference. Tougher matchups against Chicago (fourth) and Oklahoma City (eighth) loom in the near future. But we shouldn't worry just yet. In Parker's place, and with Gary Neal ailing as well, the Spurs trotted out Cory Joseph and Patty Mills. Both played well in limited minutes last night. Manu Ginobili excelled in a role he is very familiar with -- finishing with 17 points, three 3-pointers and three assists as the primary ball handler. Danny Green filled in 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting in the 39-point blowout against Detroit and he and Kawhi Leonard weighed in on losing Parker for what could be one month. Focus has never been a problem for any Gregg Popovich coached team. The margin for error is lower, yes, but if the last five quarters are any indication, the Spurs will be just fine.
