Post-SPX Recap (very good photo stolen from SPX tumblr >:])SPX was infamous, humbling, and legendary this year. So much talent and energy, from the first-timers to the amazing people who've been tabling for years and who are my heroes. Working in comics/illustration, in relative isolation, it's easy to lose sight of my motivation. "Who cares? Why try?" my bitter inner-voices whisper. So it is incredibly validating to be able to show pride in my work. THANK YOU everyone who came by our table to say hello. <3 Main regret, not walking around more! My tablemates Annie and Tim were a dream. I was really nervous before our panel, but everyone was so sweet and chill my jitters melted away! Hope to see many of you again next month at Locust Moon Festival.
If you are interested in buying a print of mine, my InPrnt shop is having a week-long sale—FREE SHIPPING worldwide!! These are gallery-quality giclée art prints on 100% cotton rag archival paper, printed with archival inks.

This is a page from my contribution to the Hana Doki Kira anthology, which will be on sale at SPX. (The characters are a pair of magical girls rebeccamock I did a short comic about in a vintage-CLAMP style.) I also might have prints of this drawing, if I have time :)
If you look at that link from the comic and then look at this page, you might notice a drastic style shift. This is because I drew the comic about 6 months before I drew this. In that 6 month span I penciled and began inking my first graphic novel, and as you can see, drawing that much tends to morph your drawing style!

Untitled Story PART 1: A FATED MEETING (?!?)
Mel, captain of the college track team, bumps into Pheobe, chemistry scholar, and the two share a peculiar feeling that they've met before. Little do they know that their connection is the key to terrific power!
This is a preview of the short comic I made for the Hana Doki Kira comics/illustration anthology, which I'm also helping to put together. In high school I was drawing comics very similar to this, but the vintage-CLAMP manga style is quite removed from the work I do these days. It was fun to tap into my shojo-roots—I've come a long way from tracing Sailor Moon pictures but I'll always dream of being a magical girl.
Check out the tumblr for more info about the book. I'll also have a preview and info about this at SPX!

Roque Queen, by L. Sprague De Campfrom the LGAL Station Zero show
I made this poster for the upcoming Light Grey Art Lab show, Station Zero! Each of the show's artists was sent their very own vintage sci-fi novel and was asked to re-design the cover as a huge poster. In my book, Iroedh, who lives in a strict, anti-emotion society on an alien planet, meets some human explorers who teach her about romantic love. She rebels against her society and goes on a pilgrimage to discover her destiny which, as it turns out, is for her to become the Rogue Queen and lead a revolution. I enjoyed the campy, ridiculous plot and the super-cool heroine Iroedh, and I needed to express all my nerdy sci-fi art joy in my poster. I hope you check out the rest of the work from the show, all available for purchase as prints HERE!

Overlord's Archival War Footage
May 15, 2014
1 Disc
Criterion Store price:$31.96+ Add to Cart
Seamlessly interweaving archival war footage with a fictional narrative, this immersive account of one twenty-year-old's journey from basic training to the front lines of D-day brings to life all the terrors and isolation of war with jolting authenticity. Overlord, directed by Stuart Cooper and impressionistically shot by Stanley Kubrick's longtime cinematographer John Alcott, is both a document of World War II and a dreamlike meditation on human smallness in a large, incomprehensible machine.

"a clever and creative use of military archives to portray a touching story of a single sojourn and solace with devastating results. another favorite. "
"Looks like a blend of history and humanity, and what might've been churning through internal and international veins on that 6th day of June 1944."
"After a couple of viewings I'm still not sure what to make of this. As a documentary it's fascinating, but as a fictional narrative it's uneven."
"The interweaving of military footage isn't actually all that seamless, almost gimmicky; Tom's letter to his parents is heartbreaking, though. "
"This sounds so interesting. Woody Allen's Zelig, which was vastly ahead of its time, comes to mind when I read the description of Overlord."

The Most Successful Breeding Loft in the U.K.
At Myrtle Lofts our goal is very simple, we want to breed the best racing pigeons in the world, and everything about our program is geared toward breeding better racing pigeons. This means that in the early years we spent a great deal of money and effort acquiring some of the finest genes available in the sport for the purpose of establishing a world class gene pool from which we could work. Once this was accomplished, our efforts shifted to evolving that gene pool. As we move forward in this regard, the famous birds that are the foundations of our lines become more distant in the pedigrees. However, the value of the birds we produce should increase with each succeeding generation if we are to be considered successful in our breeding program. Not everything we sell will win or will breed a winner. However, our success as breeders has to be measured by the success of many of our customers who return year after year.
We do not mass produce to make large amounts of money, we only sell youngsters of the same breeding pairs we use to supply our own racing lofts, which holds records in several different organisations, and have won hundreds of first prizes at Club and Federation level with up to and over 5,000 birds competing. In the last fifteen years our results achieved in Classic and National races have been described by top fanciers and scribes as fantastic, acclaimed as among the best achieved in British pigeon racing.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Louisville coach Bobby Petrino has hired former UAB head coach Garrick McGee as the Cardinals' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
McGee's introduction on Monday was Petrino's first staff addition since being hired for the second time on Thursday. Petrino is expected to pick Todd Grantham as Louisville's defensive coordinator after Georgia coach Mark Richt said Sunday that Grantham had left the Bulldogs to accept a similar job with the Cardinals.
McGee was 5-19 in two seasons at UAB before stepping down last week. Prior to that he was Petrino's OC at Arkansas from 2010-11. The former quarterback also played for Petrino at Arizona State.
In his final season with Arkansas McGee was a finalist for the Broyles Award, given to the nation's top assistant coach.

What are Millenium Development Goals?
Issue 1
At the Millennium Summit in September 2000, world leaders agreed on an ambitious agenda. In addition to declaring their support for freedom, democracy and human rights, they set eight goals ("Millennium Development Goals-MDGs") for development and poverty eradication, to be achieved by the year 2015:
- Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education
- Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women
- Goal 4: Reduce child mortality
- Goal 5: Improve maternal health
- Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
- Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability
- Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development
Building upon the successes of many local level sustainable development initiatives in the past decade, the global community recognized that the progress towards the MDGs will be determined first and foremost by progress at the local level and local actors will need national and global support to develop the capacities they need to make them happen.
In recent years, the Government of Turkey has started to lay an increasing emphasis on the MDGs. An encouraging and significant development in this respect has been the formation under the coordination of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of a special Task Force on MDGs to prepare the National Report of Turkey to be submitted to the UN World Summit entitled "MDGs+5" that was held in September 2005 in New York. In conjunction with this initiative, a Report outlining the status and progress in Turkey in relation to the MDGs, prepared under the coordination of the State Planning Organization, was presented to the public in June 2005 via a joint press conference by the respective Minister of State and the UN Resident Coordinator for Turkey. There is thus an apparent interest and commitment on the side of the Government towards the MDGs.
Coupled with its global mandate in relation to the MDGs, the UNDP continues to provide increasing and multi-faceted support to the Government of Turkey in the promotion and addressing of the MDGs at national level. Further, UNDP globally recognizes the importance of localizing MDGs as a means to make the targets as relevant and visible at the local/community level as possible. In Turkey, this issue of localizing the MDGs is important in the context of government's report on MDGs which highlights regional and gender disparities. (For the National MDG report, click here)
The preparations for a new project aiming at localizing the MDGs in Turkey via campaigns and promoting local governance networks, mostly through Local Agenda 21 members, have started in late 2005 and expected to bear fruits in 2006.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 329 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tiger4u Slow response time for Check In We arrived at the Sheraton straight from our Cruise on Sunday morning, July 27, 2014. I suspect the Staff were not prepared for the influx of the guests coming in from the cruise , as the lines were long and wait times longer - they had only 1 check-in staff member attending to our needs and the only response given is they have no rooms available. We arrived a little past 9:30 am and were told our rooms would not be ready until 3 pm. Our discussion include my comfort level with leaving my valuables in the "Baggage Room", after several comments of I can't do that for you sir, I finally asked what CAN you do for me. I was told that my valuable bags would be placed in the Managers Office, which was completely satisfactory to us. We then went out for the day, unfortunately sometime after 1 pm the weather turned nasty and we were caught in a very severe and intense Thunderstorm- we had rented bikes and were not close to covered shelter, once we were able to safely make it back to the hotel, completely soaked from the rain, I asked if I could have my room and my clothes to have a warm shower and change into fresh cloths. Again, didn't seem to respond to our needs, as we were told we had ordered 2 double beds and this room is not ready yet. So I asked what is available, 2 twins I was told... we needed to change so I took them. These two experiences have led me to rate Staff Responsiveness as needs improvement Other then these two incidents the hotel was fine and the location was good. thanks July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ViVi43 Sheraton Stockholm Was only there for 2 days, but a great facility. Lovely rooms. Love the modern decor and parquet floors! Attentive staff. Close to Old Town and City Hall. Hop on hop off bus stop around the corner. July 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dennivb This hotel is good because excellent staff, very friendly and service aimed, but rooms are outdated Excellent sheraton hotel, 1 remark, the rooms are very outdated, it is because your staff is excellent i will come back. July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bermo Summer in Stockholm by SPG Another excellent stay at the Sheraton Hotel in Stockholm. Staff and facilities make this a hotel worth returning to and we will. Great location and great service. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BassemMelik Very Pleasant Stay I was on a 4 days business trip and I had a very pleasant stay at Sheratin. Very great location close to the old city and the central station which makes moving around the city a great experience. My wife joined me as a tourist for the same trip and she enjoyed a lot the facilities and the location. Room quality and breakfast are high. recommended for couples and single business trips. May 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LADoc Not Your Average Sheraton Everything is so well done by the staff of the Stockholm Sheraton that you may forget you are staying at Starwood's middle-of-the-road brand. The staff was VERY efficient and accommodating. For example: as is often the case, the SGP elite desk was unoccupied when I arrived to check in. I merely had to look over at the lane and one of the staff members took note. One minute later, a clerk appeared to check me in. One small issue: the A/C did not cool my room as much as I would have liked, but it was fine in the evening. And, after all, being too warm is rarely an issue in Stockholm. Otherwise, the hotel and its staff really set a standard for the Sheraton brand. With the sleek Scandinavian design (wood floors throughout!) it seems more like Starwood's more upscale brands than the tired old hotels we've come to expect from Sheraton in the USA. July 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Carlson81 Post cruise Were able to check into room upon arrival, staff friendly and accommodating, hotel well situated for walking and hop on hop off. The dinner service in the dining room was the worst I have ever encountered, service slow food poorly prepared. This took the luster off our vacation June 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Digger67 In room wifi needs improvement Most of staying here is absolutely wonderful: the staff, the food. The in-room wifi, however, needs significant improvement, at least in room 530. The only stable connection for wifi was located in the washroom. All other locations in the room where it is more useful, the desk, lounge chairs, beds, it consistently dropped either in speed or completely. It was near impossible to hold a video chat. Please improve! April 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phases123 Friendly, Professional, Convenient, Flexible The Sheraton in Stockholm is in my opinion one of the better run Starwood hotels in Europe. I have been staying there several times in the past 2 years and have found them every time flexible to adjust to my time schedule, outgoing, friendly, and conveniently located in the heart of the city. The overall professionalism indicates a good and customer oriented management focus.An absolute must to stay there when in Stockholm. February 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mad1503 Great location! We enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton Stockholm. Location is amazing,very close to the old town and many restaurants. Rooms are nice, big and very comfortable. July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CTNY Service Above and Beyond I recently stayed at Sheraton Stockholm for a second time. I had received excellent service the first time, and during this more recent visit the service was above and beyond. I had a documentation issue that required interaction with local authorities, and the Sheraton staff assisted me throughout the process. While multiple staff were all courteous and helpful, special thanks to Khaldoun and Jens. April 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KLB25 SPG Recognition I did not feel there was any special recognition except for a card that was brought to my door. Nice personnel in the club lounge. I do want to recognize Charlotte at the front desk who provided me with a great room after another person had told me I would have to wait until after 4:00 and tried to get me to check into an inferior room. Charlotte was warm, friendly and welcoming. New towels are needed in the bathrooms. December 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by RGG1957 Good hotel in central Stockholm The Sheraton Stockholm is centrally located, a 10 min walk to the Arlanda Express terminal ans the metro hub, and a a short walking sistance to the Royal Palace and old city. Very friendly staff. When we checked in at 5 pm our room was not ready, so we were offerred an upgrade to the club lounge. Room was large by European standards. If you can, request a room on the 8th floor, with balcony facing the old city and lake, July 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrOJ Great restaurant Once again I have enjoyed a grelt meal at the restaurant. The kitchen must be very close to a Michelin star! The staff understands to make you feel very special. If you are a bit of an adventurer then ask for a surprice. You will not be disappointed - they do magic in the kitchen. Tell them what you like and then just wait and see. The front office staff are perfect representatives of Sheraton. You want to come back! June 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sommarcatta Irritating flaws When booking a certain roomtype and even got it confirmed at check in, everything should work smoothly. We arrived late and were appointed the wrong roomcategory. Too tired to do anything about it the very same night, we had to go through the hassle of changing rooms the next morning. I demanded an upgrade and we got a beautiful room, but the reception didn´t offer it volontary. Not what you would expect from Sheraton. December 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by FromSpain Staff We are very grateful to Ines (from Croatia) at the check in desk. She helped us a lot with our reservation (we were not satisfied at all with the room we had been assigned) and made sure we were satisfied with everything. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by marceldamen Excellent stay to see the Rolling Stones Great location in the city Center of Stockholm. Very nice atmosphere in the hotel and fantastic rooms. July 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mark0000 Great Stay The hotel and staff are very nice. The location is great as well. I have one issue that I think needs improvement. The check in process would go smoother if there were more staff available. I hate standing in line especially after a long journey. There should be a careful eye on the check in area and staff should be added as lines increase. Other than that, great stay!!! Thanks for everything, Mark July 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Javi69 Superb customer care Hotel met and surpassed our expectations in all areas. What made our stay so special was the human factor, particularly the exceptional care we received from Paula Norrmyr at the counter. She made extreme efforts to help us, which came through as an authentic gesture of good will and friendliness and not as someone just doing her job. She definitely picked the right career... Job well done!!! January 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pancho789 Spiders on the Balcony in Room 814 Hi My hotel stay was pleasant overall. Staff was very nice and helpful. My only main was a big spider web on my balcony with many spiders on it (room 814). My wife got really scared and didn't want to use the balcony which was a little shame. I didn't mind the spiders :). Also the hotel breakfast and the lounge were a bit overcrowded but I understand its a busy time of year. Thank you, Uri June 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DrWasLoyal Good just a bit small rooms as superior category July 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pinkers Centrally located The hotel is conveniently located for the Old Town, the Town Hall and the Central Station. We were warmly welcomed by a friendly receptionist and found the Concierge very helpful. We had a spacious junior suite with views of the Town Hall, which was a bonus. Breakfast was busy - there was a ten minute queue at the self service buffet. Even the Club Lounge was busy, which we found unusual. September 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Aud84 Nice stay The staff, food, location and the room was really good. However, it was somewhat upsetting to pay for wifi...I would rather include it in the general bill. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Micke50 Almost a second home I stay at the Sheraton every week. It has almost become a second home for me. I am generally very pleased with the hotel, especailly with the very friendly and capable staff. The only complaints I have is that the menu has not changed for a long time. I think this should happen at least twice a year preferably every quarter. May 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by RoomForImprovement A hotel in need of improvement I have had the opportunity to stay at the Sheraton Stockholm for many months. The overall quality of the hotel is ok, but not great - it has a little bit of an "old" / "unmodern" feeling to it. However, the biggest improvement potential is for sure the staff receptiveness, when it comes to complaints and general handling of guest requests. Most recently I had a problem with the shower drain being clogged, which I alerted to the staff on the way out in the morning. The day after, the problem had still not been fixed, and I had to re-address the problem to the staff. Additionally, I have experienced issues with lacking attention of the check-in staff, which means that I several times have not received the "Green Choice" that I signed up for (to the extent that I now always put out the "Green Choice" sign when staying inn the hotel, which is somewhat of a hazzle. That being said, the hotel restaurant staff is very friendly and remember you from previous visits. They always ask how you are doing and do what they can to help you with special diets. I believe this could be a great hotel, but for now I feel very demotivated for going back, given the lack of attentiveness - when you work long hours, the basics of the hotel just need to be in place for you to relax when you are off work. July 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Notjackie27 More or less your average city Sheraton Like the title says, it's more or less at the same standard as a typical city Sheraton. On the positive side, the staff were extremely courteous, professional and efficient. On the negative, the room wasn't too clean (specifically, it had noticeable amounts of dust on surfaces) and the bathroom was smaller than expected in a superior room. April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave42 Nice hotel in great location This hotel is located about two blocks from the main train station, providing excellent access to trains, trams and the Arlanda Express train to the airport. The hotel features all the amenities you expect from a high class hotel in a walk-to-everything location. Very good breakfast was included with my room, which is important to me. Overall a well situated high class hotel. September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ruth46 Great location This hotel is in the perfect location to explore all the unique sites in and around Stockholm; Skanza, children's museum, National Science Museum, TV Tower, Globe Museam, Old Town, River boats. We did it all with three children ages 10 and under. Central Station was around the corner. We would stay there again if we return to Stockholm. April 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CDH73 Above and beyond I wanted to thank all the staff on the front desk and concierge in going above and beyond the call of duty at my most recent stay on 6th June. I had lost my passport and was worried and upset. All the staff helped me to get things sorted and I was on a plane by midday the next day. It would not have been possible without their help and I would have been home much later. July 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by hijoma Great Weekend Stay I would like to recognize the Stockholm Sheraton and its professionals for the excellent stay I recently had. Although no complimentary drinking water was provided in my suite upon check-in, a casual mention to the staff member checking the minibar quickly resulted in one of the hotel's suited professionals arriving at my room with two bottles, even just hours before my checkout. This shows the value the hotel places on going above and beyond to satisfy its guests. One of the best parts of this hotel is its Club Lounge, well-maintained with a great variety of snacks and beverages compared to other Sheratons. I tremendously enjoyed spending time here meeting with work colleagues. Much credit is due to the lounge supervisor, Derek, for his warm hospitality and willingness to connect with our group when he had the time and opportunity to stop and talk. Although our group was 4,000 miles away from our homes, we felt right at home at the Stockholm Sheraton. April 18, 2014

IMO, Wallace hit his prime during the air raid we had against the packers in reg season. 2010. I believe...... It was a Nice last second game winning Santonio Holmes style TD catch. I was high as hell on Wallace and thought he was legit and for real.
Ever since I noticed his lack of effort, dropping easy grabs, giving up on plays and noticed that fame was getting to him and he was deciding to settle for mediocrity cause it seemed to me that he believed he was good enough and didn't have to work hard anymore.
The 2011 Wild card game. Deep pass, right in the numbers..... Dropped. Broncos challenged the catch and won. That's the game where he finally lost the rest of any respect I had for him.
2010 AFC championship game I believe that the good majority of Steelers fans saw we had a real WR on our team and that wr's name was Brown.... Not Wallace. I believe the organizationion knew it as well.
Mike tomlin equals one dimensional offense, and lack of fundamentals, which equals consistent losses to inferior teams, lack of discipline and injuries.

Social media remains a vast but largely unexplained phenomena, despite academic courses and self-proclaimed "experts" who demand otherwise. Even those in the field are still trying to understand what qualities make up an engaging post. For example, why does a photo of a frowning cat drawn more likes and comments than a hard-hitting news story? Do photos and videos really get more organic reach than status updates? And the eternal question: Was that carefully-worded tweet even seen by followers? The answers to these questions have to do with complicated algorithms, linked content, and most importantly, timing.
In his recent post on LinkedIn, digital marketer Jason Barrett argues that analyzing the time stamp of social media posts is key to determining what will reach the eyes of audiences. He advises to stage a small experiment in which social media posts are recorded over the course of a week. Each type of engagement, like favorites, likes or comments, is assigned a numeric value to be added up at the end of the experiment.
To test his theory, I devised my own social media experiment this week to test the timing of my personal social media posts. Starting bright and early Monday morning, I have recorded each status, tweet and multimedia post. For every like on Facebook, I awarded one point, for every retweet five points, and so on. The results so far have been fascinating. Who knew so many people check Twitter before breakfast? Or troll Facebook during lunch? Okay, maybe I did know that from personal experience, but seeing the findings on paper makes me think twice about what I post and how effective it will be on social media channels.
The week isn't over yet, and I am looking forward to the results of this armchair experiment. I will be sure to share them when the experiment is complete! In the meantime, tell me: When do you post on social media? Do you think the time of day has anything to do with engagement? Let me know in the comments below!

Dr. Barts is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. She is not only helping with my Thyroid problem, but also looking after all other health concerns I have. She is truly a doctor who is knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about her job.

I am a patient of Dr. Barts who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and was interested in the comment below regarding reverse T3. I looked up the original article cited by the commenter below and found that they failed to mention that this article was published in the mid 1970s!! I did some more digging and researching and it seems that the consensus among endocrinology experts today (almost 40 years later), is that reverse T3 is 'metabolically inactive'. However, there are some naturopathic doctors that disagree and believe reverse T3 is of some use. Dr. Barts is young and knowledgeable and I have found her to always be on top of current research and treatment.

Many endocrinologists believe that reverse T3 (3,3',5-triodothyronine) is only an inactive metabolite with no physiologic effect. This is an erroneous belief as this and other studies demonstrate that reverse T3 (rT3) is a more potent inhibitor of T4 to T3 conversion than propylthiouracil (PTU) which is a medication used to decrease thyroid function in hyperthyroidism. In fact, rT3 is 100 times more potent than PTU at reducing T4 to T3 conversion. Clearly demonstrating that rT3 not just an inactive metabolite, but rather a potent inhibitor of tissue thyroid levels. The authors conclude, "Reverse t3 appeared to inhibit the conversion of t4 to T3 with a potency which is about 100 times more than PTU…" http://www.custommedicine.com.au/health-articles/reverse-t3-dominance/ SOURCE: A study of extrathyroidal conversion of thyroxine (T4) to 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3) in vitro.

I have gone to see Dr. Barts multiple times and both times she was very informative and very friendly. She actually really cared what was going on. Most doctors just want to push you out the door, but she took her time and showed me things I never knew before. Would recommend her in a heart beat !!

I met Dr. Barts in Royal Columbian Hospital after receiving life saving treatment for my newly diagnosed condition. I am so grateful that she took me on as a patient. She is the best doctor I have ever been to! She is extremely knowledgeable and keeps up to date on the latest medical technology. She genuinely cares and will follow up through e-mails. She has impeccable bedside manner... 10/10 doctor!

Agnieszka sets the gold standard for specialized patient-centered medical care. She has a rare combination of knowledge and empathy that leaves you feeling utterly confident you are receiving the best care possible. That said, her extreme efficiency may be a little unsettling if you are not expecting it. Follow-ups are short so bring a list if you have questions, be on time, and don't expect to be charmed by her MOA - she is on the ball but wasn't hired based on her soft skills!

Nicki Minaj Sings and Raps on New Single "Pills N Potions"
Spending too much time singing was a criticism many fans had of Nicki Minaj's last effort, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
So, after her sophomore album and its extended play version in 2012, Minaj has been toning down her image. She went back to more of a hip-hop sound with one-off singles this year, including "Lookin' Ass" and "Yasss Bish" and then cast aside the colorful wigs and clothing for something still neutral yet sexy enough for hip-hop.
So, now as the rapper gears up for her third studio album, The Pink Print, she put out its first single, called "Pills N Potions," which essentially compromises the two aspects of her career.
The song opens with clear vocals – not the Auto-Tuned dance-y style from tracks like "Starships" – and later leads into the rapper dropping a few verses. Essentially, this slower paced, uplifting track has Minaj doing it all – rapping and dropping the hook.
If you hadn't had a chance to listen to it (or heard one of the "fake" versions on YouTube), hear the official track here on Soundcloud.
To lead up to The Pink Print, Minaj has been giving hints in her singles and guest appearances, with a reference to "Pills and Potions" in her recent Soulja Boy collaboration.
Right now, The Pink Print has no official release date. It comes after Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, her 2012 album that went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced such singles as "Starships" and "Pound the Alarm."

For related articles and more information, please visit OCA's Genetic Engineering page and our Millions Against Monsanto page.
When Genetically Modified (GM) crops were first planted commercially in 1996 they were just another technological innovation that fit well into the trend of larger farms and fewer farmers. Since weed control was a time consuming task, chemicals that killed the weeds without harming the crop struck farmers as a good idea.
Often when a technology is introduced one never considers why it was introduced or what future events and connections may be put in motion. Clearly the trend to global crop production and marketing has changed the face of agriculture. Now we are left to decide if it was a good thing, this world changing shift in crop production brought about by GM crops.
While GM has been very widely adopted and praised by some, particularly in the U.S., Canada and South America, results have been mixed, at best, in India and Africa. American farmers have used the technology to convert vast swaths of land from prairies, tropical rain forests and former mixed livestock/crop farms into a vast corn/soy mono-culture.
After nearly 20 years of GM crops, genetic modifications for herbicide resistance and pest resistance are still the only two commercially viable traits of any significance. There are no yield genes that will revolutionize farming, and weeds and insects are quickly developing resistance to the GM technologies.
When Monsanto and other corporations involved in seed research and development brought GM seed to the market, what was their reason? Obviously they saw an opportunity for profit, that is what corporations do.
