Federal employees are less likely than in 2011 to believe their agencies support gender and racial diversity. (Stock image).
Overall satisfaction with gender diversity support in the federal workplace has declined since 2011, according to a report by the Partnership for Public Service.
As part of its annual "Best Places to Work in the Federal Government" review, the Partnership for Public service surveyed how men and women from different racial and ethnic groups viewed their workplace. New to the "Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey" this year was information from veterans and employees with disabilities. The survey focused on three out of ten workplace categories: effective leadership; support for diversity; and each demographic group's overall satisfaction with their workplace.
Executive Order
In 2011, President Barack Obama signed an executive order titled "Establishing a Coordinated Government-Wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workplace." The Partnership for Public Service's report, based on a survey of 700,000 federal employees, sought to examine the progress that had been made, two years after Obama's executive order. The report found that the percentage of positive responses to gender diversity support has declined since then.
Both male and female federal employees were less satisfied overall in the categories of effective leadership empowerment and support for diversity.
The survey also found that Asian employees reported the highest level of satisfaction in workplace empowerment, almost 17 points higher than the lowest satisfaction scores, which were reported by multi-racial employees. Asian employees also had the highest overall satisfaction on the "Best Places to Work" index. For the first time, the survey collected data from federal employees with disabilities, who reported less overall satisfaction with their workplace than workers without disabilities.
The report gave four recommendations for agencies to promote workplace diversity and inclusion for all demographic groups:
Analyze agency data and use it to drive decision-making.
Establish a shared vision, shared values and practices among agency leaders.
Actively recruit and develop a diverse workforce
Build a culture of commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The problem with diversity programs is that they are all about race and sex profiling while usually short changing getting the best performance for the buck. In the big picture they tend to add to division rather than unity. Considering that this country has had about a half century of these programs, is not it about time we say enough of this costly transition business and take the next step of totally throwing out anything that discriminates based on race most anything based on sex? Right now we seem to be going backward in civility in many ways because some groups have become addicted to the subsidies given to them based on race. In the economic side, we are all paying the price for these government agencies whose primary purpose is to run these expensive discriminitory programs that add non-productive work to everyone but do not add one bit of real output to the economy.

A Syrian tragedy turning into a European tragedy
Gëzim Krasniqi, Fellow at UCL's School of Slavonic and East European Studies, traces the shifting routes chosen by refugees from Syria—and how the EU's lack of a coordinated policy has been turning the Syrian tragedy into a European one. It has left the Balkan states with a refugee crisis impossible to master.

Excellent value Jonathan from Rochester Hills, MI on 07/03/2014 – Verified Buyer
This was purchased for a new home - the quality of the sink and faucet is excellent. While I would prefer to support US manufacturing, there is very little available at all but the high-end of the market. That being said, the construction (from the stainless exterior down to the sound dampening) exceeded expectations. Our designer gave the brand a thumbs up as well.

Productivity growth is vital to economic well-being or economic growth because it enhances standards of living as well as the quality of life. Productivity growth improves economic efficiency, meaning the ability of firms to produce more output at all levels of existing inputs. Economic efficiency leads to increases in income - personal, state, and national - that can then be used for additional consumption and for improvements in social conditions, such as reductions in relative poverty and environmental pollution and improvements in the quality of health care.
The point to be emphasized is that productivity growth ultimately leads to an improvement in the quality of life. Furthermore, it also enhances a nation's global competitiveness, reduces inflationary pressures, and thus fosters overall economic stability. Finally, productivity growth stimulates market competition within a domestic economy but more importantly it does so within the global marketplace. Thus, productivity growth improves the efficiency of resource allocation.
One factor responsible for productivity growth is technological change, or technical progress. Technological change results in an improvement in the efficiency of production, which in turn leads to productivity growth. And, as just stated, productivity growth improves economic efficiency and ultimately enhances overall economic growth. To understand better the concept of productivity growth both for academic as well as policy-related reasons - and the policy reasons are obvious from the connection between productivity growth and overall economic growth - it is imperative to understand first the nature of technological changes and the linkages between technological change and productivity growth.
The importance of technological change or technical progress and economic growth has long been discussed in the economics literature. Traditionally, scholars have referred to the first chapter in Adam Smith's (1937) An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations in order to motivate their discussion regarding the relationship between technological change and economic growth. For Smith, innovation is the product of division of labor, and division of labor in turn depends on the extent of the market. It is innovation - which many scholars today mistakenly associate as being synonymous with technological change, and innovation will be shown herein to be a necessary precursor to technological

The celebrity baby girl trend continues! A week after announcing her pregnancy with husband Michael Caussin, country singer Jana Kramer revealed that the happy couple are seeing pink! Writing for People's baby blog, she wrote that the couple's eagerness to find out the sex of their baby led to them taking a blood test at 9 weeks. She explained, "I had my nurse call my best friend to give her the news. We then invited our closest friends over and had them fill up water guns paint of either pink of blue. Mike and I were so anxious to see what color it was going to be."
The first time mom-to-be also revealed her struggle with morning sickness, sharing that since week 6 of her pregnancy all she has been able to eat are bagels and cereal. She wrote in her blog, "My mother always told me to never use the word hate, BUT I HATE the word morning sickness. It's not just in the morning. And people who don't understand or haven't been pregnant only think it's in the morning…In the end, it makes it all worth it knowing in six months I'll be looking into her beautiful eyes."
Jana is on tour through October; her baby girl is expected to arrive early next year.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (November 16, 2011) -- The General Chapter of Royal Arch Masons International presented Autism Speaks, the world's largest autism research and advocacy organization, with a $100,000 Royal Arch Research Assistance (RARA) grant in support of the Autism Speaks early diagnosis and early intervention initiative to investigate auditory processing disorders in children with autism.
Many of the precursor symptoms of auditory processing disorders are seen in some children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These symptoms include trouble paying attention and remembering information; poor listening skills; difficulty in processing information; behavioral problems; difficulty with comprehending language; and anxiety or confusion in social situations. Young children on the autism spectrum who exhibit precursor symptoms may be diagnosed with a central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) at a later age.
The RARA grant will enable Autism Speaks to address precursor symptoms of auditory processing disorders in an effort to create better outcomes for children who are at risk for developing both ASD and CAPD. In addition, the grant will go towards funding Autism Speaks' efforts to educate healthcare providers and parents about the role of auditory processing disorders in a child's autism diagnosis as well as encourage further evaluation for young children who demonstrate auditory processing difficulty
"Children who show early signs of autism spectrum disorders are at risk for a number of developmental problems," noted Dr. Geri Dawson, chief science officer of Autism Speaks. "With the help of this grant, clinicians can better understand the early signs of auditory processing disorder in children with autism, allowing for treatment of this disorder to begin as early as possible."
Autism Speaks will also disseminate and share information developed in this effort with caregivers and clinicians including methods to treat auditory process

Book Value
Loews has a graph on its website that shows its book value per share has grown from $30.17 at the end of 2006 to $47.49 at the end of 2011, an increase of 9.5% annually. Its book value at the end of March was $48.96 a share. In the first quarter of 2002, it was $19.10 a share, for an annual increase of 9.9%. Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK.B) book value increased 9.1% over the past decade. Long considered the champion of book value growth, Berkshire Hathaway actually came last behind Loews, Markel (NYSE:MKL) at 11.5%, Fairfax Financial (OTCBB:FRFHF) at 9.5% and Leucadia National (NYSE:LUK) at 11.1%. On the surface, it appears as though Loews hasn't kept up with either Leucadia or Markel. However, you have to remember that since CEO Jim Tisch took over in December 1998, he's reduced share count by 30%, often buying at a deep discount to the sum of its parts. According to Bloomberg, Loews' share price in mid-April was trading at more than a 25% discount to all of its holdings. Despite this, its stock's outperformed Buffett's by almost double in the 14 years Jim Tisch has been at the helm.
Institutional Ownership
Loews continues to be popular with some of the better investment managers in America. Its two largest fund owners are Southeastern Asset Management's Longleaf Partners Fund (LLPFX), which holds just 20 stocks including Loews in the number three position and the Davis New York Venture Fund (DNVYX), which also holds Loews in the top 10. Both funds have incredibly low turnover ratios and have been long-time owners.
According to Longleaf's 2011 annual report, Loews has a free cash flow yield, when adjusted for net cash, of 11.6%. Furthermore, Longleaf believes that CNA Financial (NYSE:CNA) CEO Tom Motamed hasn't been given enough credit for the turnaround he's achieved at the property and casualty insurer. As a result, CNA's shares trade at a substantial discount to book value compared to its peers, including Chubb (NYSE:CB), where Motamed came from. If CNA were valued equally to Chubb, Loews holdings would be worth almost $7 billion or $18 per share more. That's why patient investors like Mason Hawkins and Chris Davis are holding tight despite Tisch not making an acquisition in five years, along with slowing earnings.
SEE: Investing Below Book Value
Once upon a time, I thought Loews might sell or spin-off the hotel division run by Jonathan Tisch, Jim's cousin, because it's only 17 hotels and adds less than $2 a share in value to its stock. However, Jonathan Tisch expects it to grow to 30 hotels within 10 years to take advantage of the global growth in travel. Besides, hotels are where Loews began. Currently, it's not in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C. or Toronto. It has two hotels in Quebec but none in the rest of Canada. That will likely change soon enough. Ritz Carlton opened a hotel in Toronto in 2011 and Four Seasons will replace its old hotel in the next couple of months. Toronto is the fourth-largest city in the U.S. and Canada and Loews needs to be there.
The Bottom Line
Loews closed trading May 30 at $38.77 a share, 28% less than the sum of its parts. I don't think it will hit $60 in 2012. For that to happen, CNA's stock would have to get a move on and although its first quarter report handily beat analyst estimates, the market as a whole will likely act as a serious drag on its appreciation. However, I'd be buying from here down to the low 30s. When you least expect it, it will pop through into the $60s; just not in 2012.

Don't Be A Twit On Facebook
By Eileen Lee
On a recent visit to the popular social networking site, Facebook, I came across a message from a certain Mr "Lee Sharpe". It read, "Hey, you are pretty! Can we be friends? Can I take you out to dinner sometime?" Out of curiosity, I clicked on his profile. This Mr Sharpe bore no resemblance whatsoever to ex-Manchested United player Lee Sharpe; instead, he looked decidedly Asian, pudgy and had a list of over 300 (mostly females in come-hither poses) friends.
Needless to say, I deleted the message. This is a classic example of how a footballer name-on-loan, dubious buddy list and cheesy pick-up line will certainly not get you the girl you've been secretly stalking for the last few weeks on Facebook. Even online, girls would want a guy to stick to the basic rules and display finesse like a true gentleman.
First, be aware that the photos you post speak volumes about yourself. Delete those images of yourself in compromising (drunken/greasy-looking/with-your-pantsdown) types of situations because they are not going to help you score any points. In other words, make sure your pictures portray you in a neutral (if not positive) light and not someone who can't be taken seriously or is simply waiting to score.
The people on your list of friends (it doesn't matter how close you are to them) also make a telling difference. Girls are typically wary of guys with too many gal pals. If 389 out of your 400 friends are female, you're probably either George Clooney or a desktop lothario.
What about the guys who are already attached? Chances are, your girlfriend wouldn't want to discover that you have way more female friends than they do. So strike off those you've not spoken to in years. (If that's the case, they probably wouldn't count as your "friends" anyway.)
This brings us to the million-dollar question: What about the exes? Tread carefully, depending on how receptive your girlfriend is towards you being friends with your ex. If she maintains she's not comfortable with it, then the adage "out with the old" would serve well in this instance.
And don't go sneaking behind her back sending flirty "gifts" to your ex either. Facebook is a place we all live out our inner Sherlock Holmes. Don't feed your current squeeze the temptation of visiting your page or your ex's page on a regular basis to see if there has been any action on either party's part. It's not worth stirring up an argument or risking your relationship over something that's history. Flirty messages or Superpokes from the ex might drive her antsy, so save yourself the trouble and lay those old skeletons to rest.
With all that said, there are a number of ways you can make Facebook work for you. Friends of mine have said (and I agree) that an honest gesture of friendship is always best. We can sense what's sleazy and what's not. I have not declined friend requests that come minus the extra slick. If you're keen on interacting with that cute girl who's your friend's colleague, drop her a note that reads sincere. A simple "Hi, I saw you on Joe's list of friends and I was wondering if we could be friends?" is a good start. The point here is to try, but not too hard.
Alternatively, find a talking point to help you spark off a conversation. For example, "Hello, I couldn't help but notice the picture you were in. Was that taken in Italy? I've always wanted to go and seeing you in this picture convinced me I should! Care to tell me more?" might just be the start of a beautiful friendship. Used the right way, Facebook can work wonders in widening your social circle and cementing your friendships. Sign up if you haven't and send her that growing candy heart already.

Choir ready to share message with world
A pool of Tunica talent will share their abilities with the world on March 18 as they perform on the Bobby Jones Gospel Hour. The nationally televised program airs on Black Entertainment Television on Sunday mornings at 8 a.m. Central time.
The Tunica Gospel Choir was invited to perform on the program after one of the show's co-hosts attended the Feb. 27 services at Commerce Boulevard Christian Church. Dr. Mardean Gales liked what she heard and asked that Tunica's choir travel to Nashville to appear on the show.
The Gospel Choir is comprised of talent from all over Tunica County. It includes singers, musicians, and choir directors from a variety of local churches, who meet to practice and praise God each week.

Contracts that will provide continuous monitoring capabilities for federal agencies mark an "important milestone" in combating cyberattacks against the .gov domain, according to the General Services Administration.
GSA is the Department of Homeland Security's partner in offering Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation and Continuous Monitoring as a Service (CMaaS) under newly unveiled blanket purchase agreements. Agency officials wrote on the new CDM webpage that the BPAs used multiple award IT Schedule 70 pricing as a benchmark to establish the initial discounts in the contracts.
The contracts also offer tiered discounts based on cumulative quantities, according to the GSA's client support center website. "A Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI)-like reporting mechanism was built into the BPAs, with quarterly reporting of sales, to track usage and to ensure volume discounts are achieved by all users of the BPAs over the life of the Program," agency officials wrote.
GSA will oversee procurement, operation and maintenance of the electronic diagnostic sensors that federal agencies will deploy in their network to detect cyber intrusions, as well as the electronic dashboards that accumulate and analyze that data. GSA will manage the BPAs through its Federal Acquisition Service, Assisted Acquisition Services and Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM). GSA officials will also help federal agency customers order against the contracts.
Customers can order directly from the BPAs if they get a authority from the GSA/FAS/AAS/FEDSIM Contracting Officer, according to GSA.
According to a statement on the DHS by Deputy Undersecretary Suzanne Spaulding, the capabilities offered under the contracts will complement DHS's Einstein 3 automated intrusion detection system. DHS is charged with selecting vendors and coordinating CDM and CMaaS for civilian federal agencies.
Einstein 3 went live the week of July 22. The Einstein program was launched in 2004, with Einstein 2 following in 2008. Einstein 2 is deployed at roughly 70 government agencies, and is expected to be fielded at 70 percent of executive branch agencies by the end of fiscal 2013, according to FCW sister publication GCN.
"When both programs are implemented, they will provide complementary protections across the .gov domain, further protecting the government's infrastructure and the nation's data," said Spaulding.
Under the CDM program, Spaulding said, intrusion data will feed into agency-level dashboards that produce customized reports that alert information technology managers to the most critical cyber risks, enabling them to readily identify which network security issues to address first, thus enhancing the overall security posture of agency networks.
Summary information from participating agencies will feed into a central federal-level dashboard, she said, adding that that information will be managed by DHS's National Cybersecurity Communication and Integration Center, to inform and prioritize cyber risk assessments across the government. It will also support common operational pictures that that include cybersecurity situational awareness to agency stakeholders, she said.
The intrusion data collection dashboards, however, are still under development, a DHS spokesman told FCW. Separate contracts for one or more dashboard vendors are still being developed by DHS, he said.

…Says the head of the International Monetary Fund, adding that the only solution lies in cleaning up the financial sector.
March 24, 2009 10:09 by Aarti Nagraj
The financial sector has certainly gotten smaller; the ILO says that announced layoffs (as opposed to layoffs companies have failed to register) in the sector between August 2007 and 12 February 2009 total 325,000. The organization says that these figures are unlikely to include layoffs from independent mortgage brokers, contractors, and several small financial firms who may have gone out of business.
In a report issued last month, the ILO says that bail-out plans of the financial sector are insufficient, thanks to a "vicious circle of rapidly declining confidence that leads to lower
demand, output and employment, which in turn further depresses confidence. What is needed is a global, coordinated stimulus package that breaks this vicious circle and responds to the current problems of failing capital markets, drying-up of credit and massive job losses."
The ILO also says that apart from major restructuring efforts, banks and financial institutions need to concentrate on their core businesses. This will require incentives to move towards less risky activities and avoid excessive risk taking, and calls for changing corporate governance practices in the banking sector.
According to the IMF and the ILO, the key to solving the crisis lies primarily with the financial sector that created it. That's a huge responsibility. Will they be able to get themselves and the rest of the world out of the crisis fast enough to prevent a war?

An Anchorage man was injured Tuesday morning when his sport-utility vehicle collided with a semi truck on the Glenn Highway, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Troopers said William Schave, 55, was driving northbound on the Glenn Highway near the Knik River Bridge around 10 a.m.
He lost control of his 1992 Mitsubishi Montero, crossed the center median and entered the southbound lane. Schave's SUV rolled several times before it crashed into a tractor trailer driven by 37-year-old James Portch that was towing a flatbed trailer, according to troopers.
Trooper spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said Schave was talking to first responders on scene, but the extent of his injuries were not known. Schave was transported to the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. The SUV was totalled.

Everybody heard this from riddle school but has anyone also heard it from demonic defense 3?

I love the style of this piece, and how the melody hides under the bass at different points in the song (e.x.: 0:26). When you bring that bass out, it has a powerful effect! Almost all aspects of the song are very catchy, and you couldn't have chosen better instruments for the song. I easily put you onto my favorites list, Paragon. Thank you!

This sauce came from a good friend's Italian Mother-in-law. It is easy, and by far the best homemade sauce I know of. Great for both Spaghetti and Lasagna. Pssst...the secret is the sugar!
never a disappointment. I prefer carrots over peppers.
This was some of the best spaghetti I've made so far. I made a large amount and the whole family ate off of it for the next three days. It even tasted better after a day or two. Thanks for the recipe.
very easy and tasted wonderful
Tastes great. I changed a few things. I halved the sugar and added a Half a cup of wine, did half Italian sausage and half beef and used two can of diced tomatoes. Next time I will also blend th tomatoes more since mine cam out more like marinara.
Pretty good sauce. I added fresh basil and sage and the flavor is better than I expected.
Needs a bit more flavor for my liking but not bad though overall.
Will try substituting some wine for the sugar next time but great taste overall.

A relaxing day at sea
Our last day on the boat - and no shore excursions today. Everyone wanted to make the most of enjoying what they'd loved most one last time. For me that meant another early(ish) gym workout, followed by a leisurely breakfast on the top deck where we enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather and watched porpoises frolicking in the wake of the boat. It was all so perfect. Of course there were domestic duties to attend to - like ...

text: SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) I have been shadowing an FP who runs a family clinic and noticed that he only sees 22-26 patients/day of which only 2-3 are new patients. Almost half of his patients are insured via Medicare while the other half either have private insurance or pay cash. For those who pay in cash, the clinic charges $50 per established or follow-up patient and $100 for the new ones. The doctor occasionally performs pap smears and other little procedures. So, I made a quick calculation in my head and figured out that clinic generates a gross income of 900-1200/day. If the doctor works 5 days/week, 48 weeks/ year, he will collect $216k-288k/year of gross income, which translates into roughly 110-$150k of net income (assuming only 45% of the gross income goes toward overhead costs). Am I missing anything, or this is how little PCP's make? Are there additional ways through which PCP's could generate more income without compromising the quality of care they deliver or working 80 hours/weeks?

A Mountain Man, a Bear, and the Rise of the American NationIn the summer of 1823, a grizzly bear mauled Hugh Glass. The animal ripped the trapper up, carving huge hunks from his body. Glass's fellows rushed to his aid and slew the bear, but Glass's injuries mocked their first aid. The expedition leader arranged for his funeral: two men would stay behind to bury the corpse when it finally stopped gurgling; the rest would move on. Alone in Indian country,
The Lamar Series in Western HistoryOver a continent and three centuries, American livestock owners destroyed wolves to protect the beasts that supplied them with food, clothing, mobility, and wealth.

Subjects of nightmares and legends, wolves fell prey
The Life and Death of American Frontiersman Hugh GlassIn 1823, Hugh Glass did the unthinkable: he wrestled a grizzly bear...and won. But that is only the beginning of the remarkable tale--Glass, badly mauled with a broken leg, was 200 miles from help. Determined, he set his own leg and made the long journey first by crawling, then by floating down a river. Following the freak encounter with the bear, Glass became a legend. He's considered one of the

Mike Giant meditates
When you're meeting up with a skateboarding design-graf-tattoo art giant, you prep a certain kind of question – 'how do you post your art on your website without getting arrested' comes to mind. But when I hung with Bay legend Mike Giant this week while he put the final touches on the pieces for his upcoming fine art show at Guerrero Gallery (opens Sat/11), I found myself ditching my notes for another line of inquiry.
Which followed this line, roughly: where do I find some of what he's smoking?
Maybe what he's meditating on would be a more apt way of putting it. Giant, the founder of zine publishing house Skullz Press and skate brand Rebel 8, has been pursuing enlightenment for well over a decade now – he used to lead a regular meditation session in Dolores Park followed by a group bike ride before travel and a brief stint back in his hometown of Albuquerque took him away. He finds it a integral part of his creative process. "I'm the observer to my thoughts, not the thinker. It feels like I'm just watching it happen."
Oh wait, that was him talking about what happens when he smokes weed before he draws.
But it all comes to the same end: what Giant is searching for is a way to step back from the small urgencies and literal dialogue of life and connect to a larger undercurrent. It's a slightly abstract artistic statement -- one that fits with his scraggly, shoulder-length blonde hair, bushy beard, and elder hippie statesman status in the circles he runs in -- but it's pretty refreshing to hear someone with firm roots in street culture get up on such a positive level.
Above, Giant getting up in Western Addy. Below right, cruising through Guerrero Gallery. All photos by Andres Guerrero
The 16-odd works that Giant is showing at Guerrero were already hung on the gallery's walls the rainy day I trekked over, half of them magazine image collages and half of them single design human hearts and skulls, fine art pieces that he's created with sign painter's enamel ("it's another low brow homage.") The collages are collections of magazine images with alternating feminine and masculine themes, accentuated with small, handwritten notes from Giant.
Here, a transcription of an ex-girlfriend's apology for a tumultuous relationship, there, turn-ons and turn-offs. A list on a piece stacked with photos of women displays a neatly-written "things that make girls ugly" that lists coffee, cars, corporate jobs, meat, and cigarettes. Giant's bike leans by the gallery entrance, his constant companion whose front basket has been known to hold three cases of beer at a time. There's eloquent meditations, mundane journal-like entries – another note on the same piece reads "don't be surprised that I like girls who can deep throat."
Three days before the exhibit's opening reception and the works are done. And yet throughout our interview Giant hardly stops messing with them. I watch as he tags an empty corner of one of them with one of his impossibly precise characters. Giant is known for the cleanness of his lines, and has cultivated an image of responsibility and dedication in the skate and tattoo art worlds. "I work hard. All my friends will tell you I work every day for quite a few hours in the studio," he tells me when I remark that he's thought of as a "smart" artist.
Hard-working, but business savvy is surely another contributor to the guy's success. He's landed partnerships with Pabst and Vans – the big guns in hipster advertising – and has struck upon what he sees as the secret to ensuring one's economic worth in the art world: repetition. "It increases the value, the more that image has life on the marketplace," he counsels.
And correspondingly, Giant's aesthetic is fairly solid: the cholo imagery that made him a star on the tattoo scene runs throughout his design work, and onto the enameled canvasses that hang on the wall at Guerrero.
After a decade of physically grueling work he's now retired from tattooing anyone but friends, the guy's Facebook fan page is still overrun with entreaties to do one last tat. "How do I get work by u?" asks a gentleman named Corn Nut, into the Internet abyss. A few years back Giant did a photography series of hot chicks on bikes, drawing over the prints to make the girls into inked idols. He loves making art on skin, it's just that his body's not up for it anymore. "Ten years," he says. "That's how long most people figure you can do in tattoos."
Although still busy with designing T shirts for Rebel 8, Giant figures that having been on the scene this long he is afforded a few shifts in medium. "I'm allowed to. I'm at a point in my career now where I don't think it matters -- I've started to think of the fine art thing as the place to experiment."
He does look pretty happy in Guerrero with his fist full of Sharpies, having just smoked a humungous joint and waxed poetic on the beauty of meditation for the better part of an hour. A beauty unto himself, really, so I'll give the last word to the Giant.
"Meditation... the whole point of that is to break your heart open. It's way crazier than an orgasm, than a crazy LSD trip, than the greatest love you've ever felt. It's important to keep in mind that there's a different level of this. I do think I've felt the hand of God."
