My not-so-profound thoughts about valuation, corporate finance and the news of the day!

Can betas be negative? (and other well used interview questions)
Here is the answer. Yes, betas can be negative. To see how and why, consider what betas measure: the risk added by an investment to a well diversified portfoli0. By that definition, any investment that when added to a portfolio, makes the overall risk of the portfolio go down, has a negative beta. A more intuitive way of thinking about this is that a negative beta investment represents insurance against some macro economic risk that affects the rest of your portfolio adversely. A standard example that is offered for a negative beta investment is gold, which acts as a hedge against higher inflation (which devastates financial investments such as stocks and bonds). It is also true that puts on stocks and selling forward contracts against indices will have negative betas.
What are the consequences of a negative beta? The expected return on that investment will be less than the riskfree rate; the nominal returns on gold over the last 40 years have been 2% less,on average annually, than the riskfree rate. However, that makes complete sense if you think of it as buying insurance. You are paying for the insurance by settling for a very low or even negative return.
Are there actual investments out there that have negative betas? I know that there are stocks with negative regression betas, but those are the mostly the result of something strange happening during the period of the regression - an extended lawsuit or acquisition battle throwing off the correlation with the market- rather the true betas. In fact, in my fifteen years of updating betas by sector, I have still not found a sector with a negative beta. Furthermore, even assets that, in theory, could have negative betas (gold, for instance) seem to have positive betas when securitized (gold shares, gold ETF). There seems to be something about the securitization process that makes real assets behave more like financial assets.

We often talk about Gold as negative beta or a hedge against inflation, recession. Also it is often mentioned as a back up currency. It would be great if you could demystify Gold as an asset class in itselt without the securitization affect.

Thanks for making it clear. I often used to think a lot about beta and try to search answers in various text books or try to seek help from my faculties but my query has never been solved. On my question of negative beta they told me to vary the length of time period till you get positive beta or otherwise use "Risk free rate+Risk Premium" formula for that stock. And all these seemed so unrealistic and awkward which made me think that all these concept are made to fool individuals.
However I want to know only one thing that in bottom up beta what should be the criteria to select a time period for the stocks before calculating their individual betas and removing the leverage effect from the stocks.

Dear Prof Damodaran
I would like to ask you a question.
(not linked to the topic)
For example, we calculate the NPV of a project at time 0. Three years pass, and we want to calculate the NPV of this project again (at the end of the 3rd year). How do we have to treat the outlays made within these 3 years? Do we have to include them in the NPV calculation? If yes, how we should discount them (or compound?)?
Thank you for your answer in advance
- February 18, 2009 at 2:58 AM
- Aswath Damodaran said...
NPV is always forward looking. Thus, cash flows that have already occurred will not be part of the computation - they are not incremental.
AS for demystifying gold, I am afraid I cannot do it, because the allure of gold is based on mystery going back as far as time stretches. My guess is that at the time of its choice, there were other competitors but gold won out.

Hello Prof. Damodaran,
I am a bit confused about the following statement you made in your blog.
"By that definition, any investment that when added to a portfolio, makes the overall risk of the portfolio go down, has a negative beta."
Wouldn't the portfolio beta also go down if I add an investment of lower beta than the overall portfolio beta. e.g. a stock of beta 0.75 if added to a portfolio of beta 1.5 would still reduce the overall portfolio risk.

Hi professor Damodaran,
Also I graduated in a non finance major I am greatly inspired by your book and website.
Here is my thought about negative beta,
by definition,
Correlation coefficient=Cov(Ra,Rm)/(Asset Volatility* Market Volatility)
so we have, beta = Correlation Coefficient * (Asset Volatility / Market Volatility)
Since correlation coefficient can be negative, so we can also have negative beta for assets, which implies the asset has an inverse relationship with the market.
Please correct me if I am mistaken, thank you!

OK betas can be negative.
But then what is the cost of capital for a firm with a negative beta?
Can a firm's cost of equity indeed be less than its cost of debt?
I'm not sure of the answer. On the one hand, I'd say, no: equity is always riskier than debt and commands a higher expected return. But if I measure the cost of equity with the CAPM, the answer has to be, yes.
Is the CAPM applicable in this case?
- March 24, 2009 at 7:00 AM
- dharma said...
Obviously if ur using the CAPM to arrive at cost of capital in a situation of the firm having negative beta, ur cost of capital will be lower than ur risk free rate.

When a stock has a beta greater than one, it is perceived to be riskier than the index (with an obvious upside of being able to generate a return in excess of the index). However, would the analogy hold if the beta were in fact negative?
To paraphrase, are stocks that have a Beta of greater than one and less than zero riskier than the index, or is it the stocks that have a Beta of greater than one, and less than negative one that are riskier?

Greetings Prof.
Good point to discuss guyz. Theortically, we arive at beta by dividing the covariance between the Asset (security) and market portfolio by variance of the market portfolio.
So, anytime you see an asset having negative covariance with the market portfoliio, you would eventually see a negative beta.
This scenario is rare just because an asset rarely displays a negative covariance with the group it is a part of.
Beta is nothing but the slope of a linear equation where Y axis (Independent Variable) could be an Index like S&P 500 and X axis (dependent variable)could be MS ( Microsoft.
Imagine Beta as Duration in the Bonds, which practically can never be negative.
Imgaine Beta here as "Duratiion" in the Fixed Income.

I am MBA finance student from India. Sir I have listened to the first 11 of your lectures on corporate finance and will finish the rest in a few days. Sir there was a viva in our college, I was asked that can Beta be negative? My answer was yes and I also told them that in such a case the cost of equity will be less than risk free rate and people might hold such shares as a measure of insurance on the market. The next question was a company due to its bad management has negative beta for the last 1 yr., what should be the cost of equity? I said for that period the cost of equity will be less than risk free rate according to the capm, but they are not agreeing to it at all, there point is cost of equity can never be negative. Sir can you please share your views on this?

Regarding negative betas, couldnt you say that a CDS would always have a negative Beta, given that it always move inverse to the market?
- January 26, 2011 at 8:54 AM
Could you also say that shorting a stock in your portfolio would create a negative beta?
- March 2, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Hi Prof:
Was doing some research and came across a stock with a negative downside beta of -.03, with a regulat beta of .42. What is your take on this? How would this affect a portfolio? Thanks!
- April 26, 2012 at 2:30 PM
I agree that stocks can have negative betas on certain occasions. However, a negative beta upsets the CAPM model and ideology. How?
The CAPM says there is a risk free rate (rf) to which a risk premium (rm * beta) is added. The total of rf and rm*beta gives the exp. rate of return. Now if the beta is negative then the exp. rate of return will be less than risk free rate like rightly said by Prof. Damodaran. So exp. return < risk free rate is actually meaningless because you expect atleast that much return for a risk free asset. This is one big flaw which makes CAPM irrelevant and not applicable for negative betas.
Similarly when you say risk premium you are denoting an addition or positive value. A negative beta means subtraction or reduction - which is contradicting the fundamental ideology and logic of CAPM.
Its not possible for a model (particularly CAPM) to predict the expected rate of return from a stock or a portfolio.

- Hassib Baktazh said...
If there is a negative beta and we calculate the CAPM USING THIS NEGATIVE NUMBER, does it Still make sense to do so and is the calculation still perceived as correct?

I think it's hard to find a true negative beta stock because for any good (even insurance type goods like gold, guns, ammunition, doomsday prep stuff), there is a chunk of the population more willing to buy the good when times are good. I.E. some guy who goes out and spends a christmas bonus on gold/guns. This is what makes finding a non-financial/derivative negative beta stock so hard.
- February 13, 2013 at 7:06 AM
Would it be possible that a stock has a true negative beta if the majority of the company's equity value is in cash and equivalents, in which the most is held in short term investments returning a higher rate (say 3.5% in China vs. 1% in US)?

Just a question regarding impact of beta on security... Assume that the market gains 100%, in the same period, what will happen to a stocks having beta 2, 1, 0.5, 0, -0.5 and -1. Also, can beta go below -1, and if yes what will be the significance???

I am trying to construct a 'Taleb' style portfolio using Calls on ETFs. In my research, I have found about 20 that show a negative beta (according to ETFDB.com) I didn't believe it could exist, which led me to this blog. Most of these are metals, commodities or VIX futures. It seems like it fits with the thread of this discussion that these would be negative bets vs. the market. Any thoughts? Or is my data source just wrong?

respected sir,
I would like to ask you a question.
If S.D of two securities have been given, also beta of these two securities have been given and also S.D of market has been given, is it possible to find out correlation between these two securities. is it possible to find out S.D of the portfolio which consists these two securities?
If yes please suggest the method.

Dear Sir, As Taleb mentioned in Antifragility book - there are investments which are effectively a hedge against your portfolio and those can very well have a negative beta. For eg. creating a short against CMBS/CDOs in 2006/early 2007 would very well have served the purpose of hedging almost any portfolio and must be considered to have a negative beta then!

Breast is best? Not so for some new moms with early breastfeeding challenges. According to a new study from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, first-time mothers who have difficulty breastfeeding are 10 times more likely to quit within the first two months. In the first three days after giving birth, pain, low milk supply, and problems with the baby's ability to latch on to the nipple were cited as the primary concerns of 92 percent of the 532 new mothers in the study. The first-time moms continued to report breastfeeding problems in interviews scheduled seven days postpartum and again at 14, 30, and 60 days after birth.
Common obstacles to breastfeeding
According to the National Institutes of Health, some of the most common physical obstacles to breastfeeding include nipple soreness, breast engorgement, plugged milk ducts, infection, and a low milk supply. Add to those problems postpartum fatigue and sleep deprivation, discomfort, a lack of support, and even a lack of interest, and you have quite a list of obstacles for new moms to overcome.
For me, the biggest obstacle to successful breastfeeding was my babies' premature birth. As a first-time mom to twins born five weeks premature, I still wanted to try to breastfeed. And with the help of a pump, I managed to provide breast milk to my twins for the first six weeks of their lives. Still, I was one of the many new moms who stopped breastfeeding before two months passed.
With a preemie, or two, the obstacles to breastfeeding can include a total inability to latch, the necessary use of a breast pump, a strict round-the-clock feeding schedule, a low milk supply due to premature delivery, a lack of privacy in the NICU, and the stress of caring for babies who are medically fragile.
Support before and after birth
According to the researchers in the Cincinnati Children's Hospital study, support is essential to the breastfeeding success of first-time moms, and it needs to come both before and after birth. Support before birth includes preparing a new mother for what to expect and how to handle common breastfeeding problems. Support following birth should be extended past the first day or two while the new mother is in the hospital.
One problem I had, as a first-time mom, was actually getting out of the house to find help. My milk supply never increased enough to fully support both of my twins, and by the six-week mark, they were consuming more formula than breast milk, even though I was pumping every three hours, night and day. If I'd had access to help, I might have been able to increase my supply and continue breastfeeding, as I did with my youngest child.
From my own experience, I would encourage expectant mothers to find support before giving birth: Engage friends who have successfully breastfed their own babies, join a La Leche League group, and get to know a certified lactation consultant.

(Agape), (2 Peter 2:13; Jude 1:12) an entertainment in which the poorer members of the church partook, furnished from the contributions of Christians resorting to the eucharistic celebration, but whether before or after may be doubted. The true account of the matter is probably that given by Chrysostom, who says that after the early community of goods had ceased the richer members brought to the church contributions of food and drink, of which, after the conclusion of the services and the celebration of the Lord's Supper, all partook together, by this means helping to promote the principle of love among Christians. The intimate connection especially in early times, between the Eucharist itself and the love feasts has led some to speak of them as identical. The love feasts were forbidden to be held in churches by the Council of Laudicea, A.D. 320; but in some form or other they continued to a much later period.

UI motion graphics
Posted 24 February 2012 - 09:24 AM
Over the past year I have been transitioning from a Motion Graphics Designer to a UI Motion Designer, although a seemingly subtle difference, it has been a cool transition.
I wanted to find out if anyone else has made the change, attempted the dive to UI, made faux UI for fun, or for work, or wants to/ doesn't want to?
I will share my initial thoughts on this transition, and expand based on interest.
For starters, EXPRESSIONS! whooooo-dawgie, have they been helpful. And the colleagues (Marpar, you know whatsup) that have helped make/improve them. I came in with a very basic knowledge of scripting, a nice hefty folder of expressions gathered from previous gigs, and a bookmark to aescripts.com. So when the expressionistic animation ramped up, I felt more intrigue than "oh fuck, no keyframes?"
Design was lost ... but only for a moment. Having concepted, storyboarded and designed previous spots ended up being incredibly useful when Design questions arose. I was most pleased with the knowledge of being able to find my way around an Illustrator document, Photoshop Smart Object Layer, and various popular file extensions (PNG, TARGA, H.264, ProRes, etc.)
The unwritten code of Animation Fellowship (experienced first at the Ottawa Animation Festival 2008) has stretched its long reaching arm all the way out into the technical realm of Motion UI and it, has, saved, the day, again. Working with other animators has been a very cool brotherly-love type experience that I could not have made it without. Anyone who has ever set a keyframe loves to meet others involved in the same fight.

Posted 24 February 2012 - 06:18 PM
I've also thought about making a generic reusable AE template for these things, but ultimately moved on to other things instead. I probably sound jaded here, so I should clarify doing UI is fun as hell... until it comes time for revisions

"Don't make it usable. It doesn't need to look like it's doing anything"
ahhh, memorable insight beau+, haha (the whizz-bang looked freaking sweet btw!).
I got into "functional UI" from some very light (in comparison) work in faux UI. Now I work closely with UX and developers to create the Xbox dashboard.
Templating and dynamics are extremely important. Animating systematically as opposed to keyframe to keyframe (most of the time). Exporting After Effects information about the animation is the trickey part
On the topic of popular technique, why the heck are "blinking" UI graphics still so popular, that never happens!? lol

It goes something like this:
Supervisor/AD: "In this shot we need to make sure the viewer is looking at this part of the screen so the relevant story information comes across loud and clear"
Artist: "No problem!" (lists 30-40 cool super-intricate things that meet that criteria)
Supervisor/AD: "Those all sound awesome! I forgot to mention, this shot needs to be submitted for final in about 15 minutes. Can you make it happen?"
Artist: "...grumble." (pops open Saved Animation Presets panel, Apply "Simple_Blink_22.ffx")

I'd be interested to get an insight into your workflow. I tend to work exclusively in AE to produce little 'prototypes' of each interface element and then pass them over to an engineer who builds them and then we go through the code together and tweak the easing interpolators, delays etc to get as close to the demo as possible.
It works ok but i'd love to be able to export something usable as a starting point directly from AE...

There are ways of doing this, I'm just not sure if I'm allowed to share exactly how we do it.
But for the most part we are building AE prototypes at first as well. We focus in on a particular "flow" or "experience" most of the time, and end with a much more technical package.
Do you work from design elements from a designer? Like .PSD or .AI files?
We are often restricted to things that can be keyframed with simple Transforms, I'm currently working on finding new ways to interpolate text between weights, without getting into Masks and effects.

Voted Best Portland Seafood Restaurant on Citysearch.com, Salty's on the Columbia River is truly in a class by itself. We bend over backwards to please you with award-winning fresh Northwest seafood and friendly service. Anchored on the river with sweeping views of the mighty Columbia and majestic Mt. Hood, every seat at Salty's offers a view with two-story decks and walls of windows. Enjoy live Dungeness crab and Maine lobster to world-famous Alaskan salmon and halibut in season, oysters and clams from Northwest beaches or USDA prime aged charbroiled steaks, pasta, chicken or salads and sandwiches. Our award-winning Sunday Brunch is like none you've seen elsewhere. It's no wonder we win best Portland brunch on Citysearch. Sip on cocktails and listen to live jazz with Mel Brown in our Happy Hour Bar locals love. We open our decks in season to make al fresco dining fun in the sun.
Old school seafood service (think clam chowda, Dungeness crab cakes, fish & chips, and plank roasted steelhead) with unbeatable views, and the Sunday brunch serves up buffet-style abundance.
As always they did it again 100% Plus. Always beyond expectations!! I can not say enough about the -- People -- Service -- Food and Atmosphere!! We will be back at every opportunity.
Salty's is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Portland and Vancouver. The food is presented well and tastes great. Coconut prawns are wonderful! The staff are always pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm and the holiday decorations are festive and makes going to Salty's fun. I have never had a bad meal here. Thanks Salty's. You are doing great!
Great Happy Hour & more – The food is so good, yet the service is what stands out. Everyone remembers you, and everyone pitches in to make sure you have what you need without being superficial. I often dine alone and have always been treated exceptionally well, never rushed. They do change the menu, which I do appreciate. I love trying new dishes and have never been disappointed. I've ben to the brunch, dinner, lunch and happy hour. I've enjoyed them all!
Thanks for your review! I am so happy that you experienced what we strive for- genuine, friendly service!

Salty's might be my favorite Portland restaruant – So, I should say that I never rate or comment on anything, but I am compelled to come to Salty's aid because of some terrible and, frankly, questionable reviews that I noticed.
I grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast and we had our pick of classy seafood establishments like the Pelican Club, Clary's and Shern's. Salty's could give any a run for their money.
It's not pretentious, I like the tasteful seafood house decorations (I want that sailboat model!), the waitstaff is 100% professional (you can tell they need a gastronomic C.V. to get hired) and incredibly accommodating.
Oh, and the food is terrific, too. Fresh, well prepared and worth every penny. Is it expensive? Perhaps some items are...but then you are ordering the surf and turf...which is by definition a little on the spendy side. But I don't see any cheap chain restaurants with anything close to Salty's menu perched in such a fine location.
Let me tell you about the last time I was at Salty's: I had a moment of accidental popularity when I invited a bunch of people out on my last day of my previous job. I figured a few would show up and we could cozy in at the bar, but....and this should be a testament to how good the place really is...the place was packed with regulars and other parties....and then more of my people showed up than I expected.
I saw the staff start to look worried, but then, like the consummate professionals they are, buckled down, opened up more space reserved for larger parties, and kept the drinks and oysters flowing. Every time a new guest showed up, the front desk carefully directed the person to the correct party.
So defending Salty's from some of these other attack reviews is my way of saying thanks and showing my appreciation for a job well done every time I come back.
If you want swanky digs that follow every fashion trend including ambivalent waitstaff, there are plenty of options in the Portland region. If you want a classic seafood restaurant with great service and great food...Salty's is your place.
PS I would recommend calling ahead for parties of more than a dozen!
Thanks for your detailed review...what a perfect description of our place (great service...great food); it's what we aspire to bring to our valued guests everyday!

We Love Salty's! – The people that review on here must be crazy or competitors trying to bring them down, because we have had nothing but great times!
We went for anniversary then went back to try their brunch. The seafood is definitely local and the service is exactly what you would expect from a classy place.
We brought my parents when they visited Denver and they loved it! We always brag about the Portland food scene and wanted to impress them. There are plenty of cheaper, non-impressive places to choose from... but why risk it.
Over priced and underwhelming – We went to Easter brunch on Saturday at Salty's this year. We received a phone call from the restuarant the day before and we were informed that we would only have the table fo 1 1/2 hours. We were seated at 1:00 and then told that they would be tearing the brunch down at 2:00. When items ran out they did not refill them. There were no salads or fresh fruit. The food was boring and cold. The floors were dirty. They charge $45.00 per person for this brunch. This is the most over priced and worst brunch I have ever been to.
NOT AGAIN – The company I work for buys a lot of gift cards for it's customer from this place. I recieved a gift card and took my wife out for a nice dinner. I am not into seafood, so I orderd the best steak I could. I belive it was $50 or so dollars. They brought out the steak looks great and what i could saw off of it tasted good. I had the server bring out another knife and still couldn't cut into the steak. I had the steack sent back and the server cam out and said the cook had a hard time cutting the steak and they said they would bring out another steak. Well after my wife was done eating a very small steak arrive not cooked to how I had orderd it and it was just as tough as the first one. I let the server try to cut the steak so he could see how tough it was. He was extremly embarrased with the food and even more embarrased when he talked to the manager. They didn't remove or discount anything for the meal. They gave us a 15% coupon off of an appetizer the next time. This happen a couple of years ago but I was just talking with some friends and told them about the service, when they complained about a recent outing there.
Half Raw Lobster Served – Friend's Birthday, looking for that special dinner. Sevice = great. Drinks = we had plenty. Appetizers = $30. Ciopinno's *2 = good. Surf and turf *2 + 2 raw lobster tails @ $45 each = do over for chef. Grand total = free dessert. Didn't expect comp, but did expect dinner to be right the first time at that price.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Loved the labels!!!
Enchanted Encounter Address Labels I got the return address labels with the picture seal for my save the dates. They were great! I put one of my engagement pictures as the seal and it turned out so nicely, the quality was awesome and was such a great small detail to the save the date! I used my wedding colors for the return labels and they were just so pretty! I'm overall so happy with my labels and seals!
Adorable stationary!
Enchanted Encounter Address Labels Magnet Street has so many adorable styles that can be altered and personalized however you want. I used Magnet Street for all my wedding stationary and the final products are always perfect.
Great idea!

Fantastic labels
Enchanted Encounter Address Labels Loved my address labels with seals attached. For the seal portion I used a professional pic of my engagement ring from our enagagement session. The photo quality was fantatic and I was able to show my ring off in a very unique way!
Address seal and thank you cards
Enchanted Encounter Address Labels I ordered all my stuff from here, save the date my invitations and my thank you cards. Everyone loved them and the quality is great! I just got my thank you cards in the mail and they came out beautiful. The labels are really nice too but I'd suggest using another color than gold, it came out really light and it's tougher to see.

On Freelancing, or "How I Became a Mercenary Writer"
Sure, sure, we don't get to play with guns, or ride in helicopters, or play with guns while riding in helicopters, but we do okay for ourselves. I mean, three and a half cents a word is nothing to sneeze at!
...if, uhh, you use a lot of words. And don't like money very much. And aren't crazy about "benefits" and "job stability," or...or...or...alright, screw it. We're pretty sneezeworthy. But it can still be a pretty cool gig!
So, how'd I get into freelancing? Well, by being a giant geek for about the last twenty years, and playing games. I'm a longtime role-playing game and wargaming fan, and I've always been a voracious reader (maybe you've heard, but I got a gold medal in the Reading Olympics fundraiser at Benjamin J. Bubb Elementary School, 1984, you know, so I'm kind of a big deal).
I first started writing short fiction as a direct result of playing an RPG on line. In a set up not terribly unlike Glocktalk or any other forum, the Shadowland website was a place where we logged on, talked to each other in a more-or-less forum based setting, and essentially took part in some collaborative writing as we played an RPG. We'd post what our character was doing, other folks would post what their character did, there was a java-based (the program, not the coffee) die roller that handled the rules crunch of the game, and we just had a lot of fun telling cool stories together, posting about a paragraph at a time. I might have inordinately fond memories of the place, mind you, because it's also where I first met Mrs. Crit, and she and I kind of like each other.
I got hungry for more and started scribbling down short fiction to cover what my characters were doing in between jobs. The core premise of the game we played -- the Shadowrun RPG -- is something like the movies Heat or Ronin, or even The A-Team. Any heist flick will do, and you'll get the basic idea. The game's set in the near future, and you're playing a team of professional criminals that companies hire to do jobs for them. Well, me, I started to think about my characters between jobs, and I started to write a little, here and there, just to fill in those gaps. It's kind of like wondering what your favorite tv character is doing between episodes, off screen, when the cameras aren't around.
Well, the next step for me was killing time with fan fiction, or "fanfic." Whole different forum, whole different game, but I basically was just killing time writing stories set in their fictional universe. They've got war wizards and dragons and giant steam-powered robots and all sorts of other craziness going on, but I told a story about a trench-fighting soldier who liked to write letters home to his family.
Warmachine, as the game is called, is a pretty popular wargame, known for it's over-the-top action, and here I was, week after week, just whenever I had some spare time...writing a story that showed how horrible the war was for this guy who, interposed with the action scenes, was writing letters to his parents and telling them not to worry about him, or asking how the farm was doing, or who had flashbacks to his dad teaching him to shoot.
Folks ate it up!
Some buddies of mine from a wargaming forum were working, together, on creating their own game. Spinespur never really took off thanks to some marketing and management meltdowns shortly after the first book was published, but in that first book, about two-thirds of the fiction is mine. I got approached by them as they were getting nearer and nearer "crunch time" (sending drafts off to get layout done and getting ready to print), and they asked me if I'd like to write for them. They recognized my fiction I'd shared, liked it, and they needed someone -- needed very badly -- to throw together stories for their game. They knew what stories they wanted, what the setting was like, what characters to include...but they needed someone to take their rough ideas and make 'em into stories.
So I got my first paid gig.
And then came GenCon, a big old convention in Indianapolis every August. While there, I ran into the head writers for Warmachine -- the guys who are paid professionals, year round, with steady careers in gaming...who created the whole game universe, and wrote all the fiction for it, and told all the "real" stories there. To a geek like me, that's pretty awesome stuff. And they knew me!
I often scribble "Critias" (yes, I use the same name on most forums) on my GenCon badge, and when they saw that, they eagerly shook my hand, and told me they loved my story. It was like some crazy Bizarro world. Imagine running into R. Lee Ermey and having the Gunny surprise you by being excited to see you, telling you that he loved your gun collection, and then offering you a job.
Because, well, that's what happened to me. One minute I was psyched to meet Doug Seacat and Nate Letsinger, and the next thing I knew Doug was talking to me about writing for them.
I ended up doing a bunch of magazine articles for their No Quarter by-monthly and some on-line stuff for them, all of which was run quite a bit more professionally than the brief brush with writing I got from Spinespur. Contracts, non-disclosure agreements, official layout formats, etc, etc -- it all felt terribly grown-up and real, at that point.
Currently, I'm up to my ears in steady freelancing for Shadowrun. My first RPG ever, the game I was playing when I met Mrs. Crit, and the single game I've got the most books for, the most time invested in, etc, etc...after (literally) twenty years with this game, I'm finally adding to the canon. I'm pretty psyched about it, and having a blast.
The most fun part of freelancing -- to me, and I'll admit my idea of "fun" might be a little unusual -- is the fact that you're writing in someone else's world. You're adding to the canon, not creating all new stuff. It's their sandbox, you're just playing in it. So you know what writing there feels like? History. I've got to research what's already been written (for Shadowrun, that's 20 years of prior books to go through!), and make sure that what I add to the setting jives with all that. I've got to make sure I have Character X acting like he's always acted towards Character Y, I've got to make sure that Company X has security at least as tough to breach as it had in a book written when I was fifteen years old, I've got to make sure it's all fitting together, making sense, and reading like a cohesive whole when my chapter gets held up next to their chapter.
So I sit at my computer with a stack of books all around me, tugged off the book shelf and sitting seven and eight books deep in a semicircle around me -- within arm's reach, in different directions -- balanced on top of every flat surface nearby. I flip from one to the other as I write, I get an idea, I grab a new book and read about what happened to Austin, Texas in their fake timeline (in Shadowrun, the present year is 2073), to make sure what I add to Austin makes sense. Or to Nairobi, Kenya, or to Kobe, Japan, or to the CIA and FBI, or whatever -- my latest project was for an upcoming book called Spy Games, which is going into detail on the espionage world of our fictionalized 2073 setting.
It's a hoot, and it beats the heck out of trying to have a "real" job while I'm going to school. Not because it's easy, but because it's flexible. When I have a deadline for some freelance writing, it's just like having a paper due in grad school (and I know how to handle having a paper due). Instead of having to be at work every day for a certain number of hours, I've got a deadline and it's up to me to juggle my responsibilities and handle my time, and make sure I get it done on time. It's not a terrible "shifting of gears" to go from working on a semester paper to working on a 10,000 word rough draft about tradecraft in 2073.
I select my sources, I do my research, I read what's been written on the topic in the past, I analyze and interpret the evidence, I come up with what I want to say, and I write it. The only difference is that instead of getting a boost to my GPA, I'm getting three and a half cents a word.
Which is nothing to sneeze at.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the responses (some posts, some PMs, some comments here) to my blog so far, but this one's really shocked me. Out of all of 'em, this blog entry has the most views, and a couple comments, to boot!
I'm pretty excited about that, because in March I'm slated to give a little seminar type speech, at a local convention, All-Con. A good friend of mine's been involved in the convention management and we've visited the con several times, but he's been talking to me about trying to get some gaming going on, and I'm testing the waters by co-chairing a panel about writing for game companies, this year.
So the fact that a bunch of Glocktalkers are reading about how freelancing is working out for me is a good sign, because it means a bunch of geeks (who are actually into this stuff) should be even more interested.

- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAtherosclerosis Refer to label instructions [1 star]Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.Athletic Performance Refer to label instructions [1 star]Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.Obesity Refer to label instructions [1 star]Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.
Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

Comments about BSN® SYNTHA-6 core series:
I bought this product and VPX Protein Rush Vanilla during a BOGO sale. BSN tastes great, but does have a very mild after taste. Nothing Major, and not significant. Havent taken long enough to commnet on performance, so this review is based solely on taste of a RTD that has atleast 40 grams of Protein, and low fat. I will say the VPX did taste a little better.. but both taste good, and SO much easier than mixing on your own. Give it a try, you wont be dissapointed. It's worth the few extra bucks for the RTD.

Comments about BSN® SYNTHA-6 core series:
I like to take one about 1.5 hours before, and half an hour after working out. I find this to be the best tasting shake, bar none. I've tried Muscle Milk, Monster Milk, and Lean Body RTD shakes. Lean Body has a weird flavor, while the other 2 have no milk, so they taste very chemical. Syntha-6 has a nice smooth flavor that's best when cold. It performs about as well as any other RTD, so taste is the real difference here. I can't think of any cons. Vanilla is the way to go. Enjoy.

Times are tough all over, it seems.
Even shuttlers, among the most celebrated athletes in Indonesia, are feeling the economic pinch. After the Indonesian Badminton Association, or PBSI, ran out of money in 2008, the players are now struggling just to find training partners.
Markis Kido, one half of the world's top men's doubles pair, with Hendra Setiawan, was among a number of top shuttlers complaining about a lack of competition at the PBSI training camp in Cipayung, East Jakarta.
"We're lacking sparring partners now," Markis said on Wednesday. "It is not enough just to compete between the six of us. Ideally, we need three more pairs as sparring partners."
Due to budget shortages, PBSI called just 22 players to the camp in early January, though it announced it would bring in more players in February.

Termites are ubiquitous to life and soil in Bohol and the entire country. Despite that, I find it amazing the people continue to build houses and create conditions that are termite attractants. I had to keep telling people to not put wood, and especially rotted wood, next to the stilts of the house.
The wood floor section under the bathroom is also already showing signs of rotting, indicating that there is bad plumbing done and that the concrete and tiled section was not waterproofed properly if at all. A similar situation may be found under the kitchen sink where bad plumbing drips water onto the floor beams. The nipa roof has also suffered damage through decomposition and cats prowling, as well as two poor attempts at repairs. So when it rains, water leaks through and dampens the floors in a few sections of the house.
The construction and repair of nipa frond roofing is becoming more scarce so finding skilled workers to do this is getting to be impossible. I will keep looking for good nipa roof workers, and by patronising them, they will continue in their craft. We really prefer nipa roofing because it is so much cooler than the typical industrial materials like galvanised iron sheets.
The termite damages is not bad at all considering the house entirely made of wood. Termites seem to pass along the woven bamboo walls of the house, the wooden sticks supporting the nipa fronds of the roof and the criss-cross bamboo sections of the balcony. They pass there and eat, create their mud tracks, but eat only a little and then move on. They can't seem to eat their way through the gmelina hardwood.
They can eat through mahogany, though, especially when the wood has chips, holes and gaps – and especially if the wood is constantly getting wet.
But the termites are already here. I have seen the white ones that make mud tunnels. They are white with brown heads. I can hear them when they eat their way through. I think those are termite soldiers.
The black ones that look like ants are what puzzle me – are they termites or are they ants? I have always thought they were ants but when I took some close-up photos, I think they are actually termites! They may be workers in the colony, but they also look like kings.
I am currently thinking of a solution to these problems. I am thinking of ecological and cultural control measures. I find it pointless to use poison and kill the surrounding soil of the house when termites and soil are nearly synonymous here in Bohol.
One direction I am going is to try to discourage the termites from finding their way through the wood since they do attack wood from the inside out. I will have to spend several happy days picking through holes and gaps in the wood, treating and sealing them with wood glue or epoxy.
My friend Lori also suggests using soapy water and bleach to kill the termites, which is a much better way than using highly poisonous chemicals. I have poured some bleachy soapy water on some white termites and that killed them – so the bleach soap water does work as direct contact killers.
Next week I will try and get some clear varnish to continue the task of sealing the bamboo sections of the house. Varnish often help make the wood unpalatable to the termites. That is another way of discouraging them from staying. I believe they come up to the house to find food, but they actually live under the ground. The termites here are the subterranean types.
Out in the garden, everything rots so quickly. Our pig pen, built only 2 years ago, is almost ready to fall to the ground. The fencing around the chicken run nearly got half eaten after only 6 months of keeping the chickens locked in the coop. Now that the chickens are out in the run, they are now controlling the termite population. So chickens are a good natural termite control.
So much to learn!

The other side of Africa that is rarely depicted in the media
Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas—There is a sophisticated side of Africa that is
rarely portrayed by the media about Africa. Many still think that Africa is a backward
continent with zebras and lions running all over the place. However, that narrative is
far from the truth. Some Africans have never even seen a real life lion or elephant
other than the ones in zoos.
Another misconception is that the whole of Africa is always engaged in wars. If that
iwere true then how on earth are these cities, bridges, streets and industries being
constructed? There are a few pockets of strife here and there, but that is activity is
found in every part of the world.
Africa is rising. The cities and industries are continuously growing as you will see in
the video below. All the edifices shown were built by native Africans with the very
own hands, through their sweat and blood. These African cities rival some of the
greatest cities in the West and those in the Orient like Bangkok and Tokyo. Yet you
never see this aspect of Africa being broadcast to the world. One has to wonder why.
However, since truth can only be found at Newscast Media, we will show you a rare
side of Africa that will surprise many. This video of Mama Africa was edited by the
talented African sister Loreen Nyambok. Watch:

Thanks for taking the time to help. I have been having trouble locating a toilet to fit in a 8x5 bathroom with baseboard heat. The heating covers are 2,75 inches wide and just shy of 8 inches tall it is a 12" rough in but with the heating covers on it is only 9 1/4 inches for the base. I had an old Eljer toilet on there but had many problems with it. I want to go with a toilet that has the best review but I am lost I saw a few old posts but I have not seen a definite answer. Hoping to hear some answers from the veterans here. I cannot replace or move the heat at this time. I have already tiled before I realized this would be such a problem.
Thanks in advance for your time.
