Welcome to the AOS Beginner's Newsletter. We will be sending you monthly tips on how to grow orchids and help you get them to bloom again. In addition to the information presented here, we invite you to visit the AOS website at www.aos.org and check out the information found under ORCHID INFORMATION > ORCHID BASICS.
Black rot has decimated this tray of cattleya seedlings overnight.
We grow our orchids in an open shadehouse, which means that they get whatever Mother Nature gives them. A wet summer is following what was a wetter-than-usual winter. That in itself was enough to deal with because as you know, orchids generally follow a seasonal growth cycle. Even though most of the ones we all grow are from the tropics, they still prefer a cool, dry winter. They also do best with ample water during the growing season. As you might expect, our wet summer has made plant growth explode. Though the plants are growing tremendously, every morning I go out to check to see if any fungal infections have begun. Our prolonged rain prevents plants from drying out, sometimes for a full week or more. Wet foliage provides a perfect environment for fungus dispersal through splashing water. Based on past experience we have come to expect an outbreak of black rot under these
type of wet, humid conditions. Pythium ultimum (and/or Phytophthora cactorum) is ruthless and can destroy a collection of cattleyas in short order and those plants you do manage to save will be set back for years. Although cattleyas are its favorite host in our collection, it does not discriminate and will infect other genera, especially soft-leaved types such as Grammatophyllum, Stanhopea, Oncidium, etc, Black rot is our biggest nemesis but wet conditions can bring out other nasty fungi too.
Black rot on Guarianthe bowringiana.
It should be obvious that healthy plants are less susceptible to fungal infection just as healthy people are less likely to get sick. We have come full circle back to the topic of balance in orchid culture. While we want to grow our orchids as vigorously as possible during the summer, we want to avoid vulnerable soft growth and do whatever we can to prevent rot problems.
Soft growth can result from low light levels, too much nitrogen fertilizer
without increasing other culture variables and other stress-related causes and
is more susceptible to disease. Here are some suggestions for summertime orchid culture.

The youth, Family-Teacher ® and Dr. Jerry Davis, Vice President of National Advocacy and Public Policy for Boys Town Washington DC, were led by Lisette Burton, Director of National Advocacy to meet their tour guide, former Republican Congressman Bill Zeliff, who represented a district in New Hampshire from 1991-1997. Zeliff showed the Boys Town youth all around the Capitol talking about interesting facts and answering questions. Clifton, one of the youth, found it very enjoyable that the former Congressman Zeliff made it more of an interactive tour. "He took the time to stop and discuss any questions we had at each specific site, giving us plenty of time to get the answers we needed. It was an awesome experience," he said.Questions ranged from lobbying, working for congress, running for office, being a legislator and more. Zeliff did his best to answer all the questions but he had help from employees as the youth walked around and ventured through the Capitol. Highlights from the youth included visiting the House of Representatives office buildings, hanging out on the U.S. Capitol balcony and even taking a ride on the underground tram en route to the Sargent at Arms Office."Touring the formal senate room and hearing how acoustics work in the space was very interesting," said Charisse Ifill, Family-Teacher. "One of the highlights of the tour was the inclusivity of artwork. From statues of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks to the paintings of Pocahontas' Baptism and the Declaration of Independence, it was quite a sight!""Hopefully this trip has sparked some future interests about activism and politics and the importance of civic engagement," said Lisette Burton, Director of National Advocacy.The Boys Town Washington DC youth experienced a memorable and engaging tour of the Capitol and possibly some sparked interests.

The National Retail Foundation awarded Katherine Koehler of Largo a Ray M. Greenly Scholarship in the amount of $5,000.
Selected by faculty members at NRF Foundation university partner schools, Greenly Scholarships were awarded to more than two dozen college students at 26 schools around the country.
As future retail industry leaders, the nominees must demonstrate a solid work ethic, embrace change and innovation, display enthusiasm for retail, thrive in a team environment and possess the highest moral character.
"We are so excited to recognize our newest Ray Greenly scholarship recipients, who are true representatives of the future of our industry," said Ellen Davis, executive director of the NRF Foundation and senior vice president of the National Retail Federation. "The NRF Foundation is thrilled to be able to provide these deserving students with financial support and experiences as they pursue their passion for retail."
Koehler's love of shopping led her to an interest in buying and developing products for the retail industry. In her scholarship essay, she wrote, "After learning about product development, analysis, and costing … this career marries both my strengths, to be both creative and analytical."
"Retail requires constant change to keep up with consumers, is incredibly innovative and consistently rewards bold decisionmakers," wrote Mindy Grossman, CEO of HSN and chair of the NRF Foundation board of directors, in a letter to the scholarship recipients. "Our industry has the best jobs in America, and I was thrilled to read through all of the nominees' personal essays to understand how our industry's future leaders view careers, community and innovation."
Koehler hopes to become a developer or buyer for a major company or store's private label. A believer in corporate social responsibility, she admires progressive initiatives such as recycling.
Majoring in retail, merchandising and product development at the University of South Florida, she expects to graduate in the spring of 2015.
The scholarship will help cover educational costs and includes a stipend to attend Shop.org's annual summit in Chicago later this year.

5 Reasons Why I Hate Fibroids

Filed under black women, health and wellness
1. Because at the age of 35 I shouldn't be forced to make a decision whether or not I want to have kids.
2. Because I should be able to function like a normal woman every 28 days instead of being drugged up on narcotics to make the pain stop.
3. Because I shouldn't have to have some foreign object pushing up against my bladder making have to pee every other hour.
4. Because I shouldn't look three months pregnant without having enjoyed the fun necessary to get there.
5. Because just being an African American woman shouldn't increase my chances five fold.

It appears that this site had its first public appearance / breath of life on or around the 23 Feb 03. I believe the initial post under this Section is long overdue.Citrix_Guy wrote:Every great rock album has a "Thank you" section full of names and places you've never heard of... Why should softgridguru.com be any different?
Even though it appears that some of the original 'band' members no longer administer / participate, I've noticed a few specific members that have stepped up to the plate & provided continuous inputs to make this a worthwhile forum and kept the 'band' name alive since I started following the 'band' in Nov 06. (I can't believe I've been at this for just over 8 months already).
Since this forum (as does many private - no commercial sponsorship) lives on volunteers with volunteered / 'free' information giving, I thank all 'Fan Club' members (forum users) for asking specific questions, providing detailed reponses, and information product updates up front.
I want to give a special thanks to those of you that make a living using this product through paid consulting and / or administering a SoftGrid environment and providing valuable & timely feedback to keep the information in this forum current & creditable.
My personal & specific special 'Thanks' go out to what I perceive as the 'lead band members' in SoftGridGuru.com's current international line-up - seq_tim, kkaminsk, rspruijt, and ksaunam with special guest appearances with detailed input from smileyej. I don't want to forget any other members or make someone feel left out, but these individuals have stood out above the rest during my time here.
As with any rock album's "Thank You" section, there's normally a product endorsement section of specific items used as well. This would be my unofficial list of products (hardware / software companies) that make this 'band's' forum flourish: Softricity for getting the idea rolling & breaking the application installation paradigm; Microsoft for seeing the potential & hopefully exploiting this technology to its fullest and providing the underlying platform on which this technology functions; those third-party software application vendors whose products work with this technology; and all those compatable hardware vendors where the software runs (the list would get way to long if I listed every hardware component like a true band would do... TAMA drums, SABIAN cymbals, VATER sticks, ...).
Now it's your turn - SoftGridGuru.com Fan Club members - to provide comment or poll input.
Keep on Rockin'!

In the year 1848, the continent of Europe was convulsed by revolution. In France, King Louis Philippe was driven from his throne and a republic proclaimed. Northern Italy and Hungary revolted against the overlordship of the reactionary Habsburgs. In Frankfurt, Germany's first freely-elected assembly was convened to seek the unification of the German states by democratic means. In London, Marx and Engels published the first edition of the Communist Manifesto.
Even the small German kingdom of Saxony, a placid backwater, was not spared the general excitement. Royal troops, augmented by reinforcements from Prussia, clashed with revolutionaries in the streets of Dresden. In the midst of the crisis, the king's own kappelmeister, or court composer, issued a quixotic appeal to his master to abdicate and proclaim Saxony a socialist republic.
The name of the composer was Richard Wagner, and it was in the crucible of revolution that he conceived his most ambitious work, a gargantuan cycle of four operas called the Ring des Nibelungen. It was a project that would take 26 years to complete.
The Houston Grand Opera is presenting the Ring, one opera per season over four years, commencing with the prologue, Das Rheingold. I caught the last performance of Rheingold on Saturday night and it was magnificent.
In Rheingold, it is most obvious that Wagner originally intended the Ring as an allegory of capitalism. The Rhine's gold is magic: if forged into a ring it will give absolute power to its owner. But there's a catch: whoever forges the ring must first renounce love. Alberich, a twisted dwarf who belongs to a subterranean race called the Nibelungs, is willing to make that sacrifice. He steals gold from its guardians, the Rhine maidens, and uses the Ring to enslave his fellow Nibelungs, forcing them to toil day and night in his gold mines to pile up ever-increasing wealth for him.
Meanwhile, Wotan, the king of the gods, has commissioned a fortress for himself called Valhalla. The stronghold has been built by two giants, named Fafner and Fasolt. As payment, Wotan has promised the giants the hand of Freia, sister of his wife, Fricka. Fricka scolds Wotan for making a careless bargain, reminding him that Freia is guardian of the golden apples, which the gods must consume every day in order to preserve their youth and strength. To this, Wotan replies that he never intended to hand over Freia. Rather, he has sent Loge, the trickster of the gods, scouring the earth to find to find him a way out of his promise. Loge tells Wotan about Alberich's horde of gold, and suggests that he offer the Nibelung treasure to the giants in lieu of Freia.
The giants accept Wotan's bait-and-switch. Wotan and Loge descend to the lower depths, kidnap Alberich, and force him to disgorge his riches as a ransom. Alberich is at first content to be robbed, since he knows that as long as he has the Ring he can work his slaves even harder to make good the loss. But when Wotan wrenches the Ring itself from Alberich's finger, Alberich pronounces a terrible curse on it and all who may come to possess it:
Its wealth shall yield
pleasure to none…
Care shall consume
the man who commands it,
and mortal envy
consume those who don't…
It will bring no gain to its lord;
only death…
No sooner has Alberich cursed the Ring than Fafner and Fasolt fall out over how to divide Alberich's plunder. Fafner kills Fasolt for the Ring—the first of many who will fall prey to Alberich's curse before the story comes to an end three operas later.
Wotan is taken aback by the curse's power, but only for a moment. Valhalla awaits. Donner, the god of thunder and lightning, conjures up, through some of Wagner's most heavenly strains, a fierce storm followed by a glimmering rainbow bridge, across which the gods troop to their new home—"safe," or so they fondly assume, "from all fear and dread." (watch)
The Houston production is the work of a Barcelona-based theatre group called La Fura Dels Baus. One critic described it as "retro-futuristic"—by which he meant, presumably, that it will remind the average operagoer of Star Wars or 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Traditionalists don't like it. They point out that the Ring was inspired by old German and Scandinavian legends and insist that the staging reflect its origins. True enough, but Wagner was also inspired by many other sources, including Greek drama, Eastern mysticism, and the philosophy of Schopenhauer, with the result that he created a fable of timeless and universal significance.
So, while I, too, am a traditionalist, I found myself thinking that perhaps the best way of staging the Ring in the 21st Century is by treating it as if it were a work of science fiction, allowing viewers to draw their own lessons from the story itself.
What lessons may the viewer draw? The brief synopsis I sketched earlier can't begin to do justice to the complexities Rheingold. But based on just the bare bones, isn't it possible to look on Wotan as a harassed, visionless and unprincipled CEO who can't see any further ahead than the next quarter's balance sheet? Can we regard the theft of the Rhine gold as a metaphor for the reckless exploitation of the earth's resources and the terrible consequences that must follow? Can we see Alberich's oppressed Nibelungs as exploited illegal aliens or toilers in the sweatshops of the developing world? Can we see America's privileged one percent in their own gated Valhallas, imagining themselves "safe from all fear and dread"? Above all, can we see in the relentless ambition that drives so many business executives, politicians, athletes and performers a willingness to sacrifice everything—even love—to attain its object?
Wagner's Ring endures because it is timeless and universal, and because it contains some of the most sublime music ever composed. Next season, HGO will mount the next opera in the cycle, Die Walkure. I can't wait.

(To read Schrödinger's brief description of this thought experiments click here.)
There are partial answers to your questions based on the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger was referring to this interpretation in his description of the cat experiment. There are currently no scientific answers to your questions. The Copenhagen Interpretation is not a scientific theory and is not universally, or even widely, accepted by scientists.
First, if a person was in the box, then he or she would observe their own demise or continued existence. This would be the same as looking in the box. You second question is similar to the first. If any person looks in the box and sees what happened to the cat, then it has happened, and everyone else will see the same thing. I suspect your friend, that talked about people in different realities, has heard about the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics. This is an interpretation that competes with the Copenhagen Interpretation, and did not exist at the time that Schrödinger described the cat experiment.
Schrödinger invented this fiendish experiment, not to explain what happens to the cat, but to show that the existing theory had confusing aspects to it. Scientists understand a great deal, but the more they learn the more new unanswered questions occur to them. Although the cat example is over 70 years old, it is left for future generations, perhaps for you and your friends, to figure out a good answer to your questions.
I do not usually have time to answer questions like yours, but I thought it might be useful and fun to write an simple explanation of Schrödinger's cat and post it on my web site.
To understand Schrödinger's cat, one must understand what a strange theory quantum mechanics is. In all other scientific theories, we have models of how we think things work. For example, we know that distance traveled equals time traveled multiplied by velocity. If you travel for two hours at 50 miles an hour, you will go one hundred miles. We can measure the time with a clock and the distance with the odometer on your car. Quantum mechanics is not like that. What we measure in experiments is not described by quantum mechanics. Instead quantum mechanics gives the probability that we will make a given measurement.
Probabilities occur all the time in science, because we almost never know everything we need to make a completely accurate prediction. For example, if you want to make a trip of a hundred miles, you can not know ahead of time exactly how long it will take. You might run into a traffic jam. You can only give an estimated time. In quantum mechanics probabilities are different. They are not considered to result from our limited understanding of the universe, but to be fundamental. Of course Einstein thought this was mistaken, but most physicists do not agree with him.
Quantum mechanics only describes how probabilities change with time. For example, if the particle in the cat example has a 50% probability of decaying in one hour, then in one minute it will have only a slight chance of having decayed. After 10 hours it will have a probability very close to one of having decayed. Quantum mechanics gives an exact model of how that probability changes over time. It says nothing at all about the state of the cat as these probabilities change. Science tells us what the probabilities are, but is completely silent on what (if anything) happens between observations. That is why there is no scientific answer to your questions. There is not even a scientific definition of what an observation is.
In the quantum mechanical model nothing ever happens! The particle never has to decay. The probability just keeps getting closer and closer to one. There is nothing to force a real event to happen. This is very confusing, because what we observe is always real events. We see the particle decay at some particular time.
Niels Bohr proposed a solution to create the events we all observe. He assumed that conscious observation caused events. He thought there was an aspect of the world described by the evolution of probabilities in quantum mechanics, and an aspect of the world that we observe. Whenever we look in the box or make a measurement, we get some definite result and not just a probability. But quantum mechanics never models these events. If we do not look, there are no events. There are just probabilities changing.
Bohr's idea is called the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is not science. For something to be part of science, you must be able to test it experimentally. Interpretations do not make predictions that differ from the probability evolution described by quantum mechanics. They are an attempt to give a philosophical explanation of how specific measurements come about. Because one cannot test them experimentally, physicists cannot reach agreement about them. Thus there are several different interpretations, and there is no way to know if any of them are correct.
If you are confused by this you are not alone. I do not think anyone has a good understanding of what is going on here although many physicists are firmly convinced of the correctness of the interpretation they favor. My own inclination is to think that Einstein was correct, and we need a deeper theory to explain events, like the decay of a particle, that will dispatch Schrödinger's poor cat.

Check your filters every month, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer). If the filter looks dirty after a month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every 3 months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you comfortable --- wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system --- leading to expensive maintenance and early system failure. We can provide you with the correct air filters for your equipment. Putting in the wrong air filter could decrease your air flow.
Tune up your furnace and air conditioner yearly.
Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling systems can improve efficiency and comfort. Call us to set up your yearly cleaning and tune-up.

This post is part of a series on visualizing data from my summer travels.
I've previously discussed visualizing the GPS location data from my summer travels with CartoDB, Leaflet, and Mapbox + Tilemill. I also visualized different aspects of this data set in Python, using the matplotlib plotting library. However, these spatial scatter plots used unprojected lat-long data which looked pretty distorted at European latitudes.
Today I will show how to convert this data into a projected coordinate reference system and plot it again using matplotlib. These projected maps will provide a much more accurate spatial representation of my spatial data and the geographic region. All of my code is available in this GitHub repo, particularly this notebook.

MP3: Fire To The Ground (feat. Matt Berninger)
On Friday night, The Summit will be graced by New York duo The Forms, touring in support of their new EP, Derealization. This is something of a "remix album," except that the songs are all completely reworked/reimagined, and this work is done by the duo itself and not some random DJs. These reimaginations apparently lent themselves to collaboration, as the tracks include guest appearances from Matt Berninger of The National (see above), as well as members of Dirty Projectors, Shudder To Think, and more. The results are mostly breezy and danceable and stand on their own quite well.
The Forms will be joined at The Summit by Maza Blaska, RUMTUM (Shin Tower Music side project?), and Defense.

It's not available yet, but the Navaho Rug Beaded Bag sounds tempting!
Hello Jackie, the luxury yarn is beautiful
if I were lucky enough to win …I would make the cowl dickey…
I suppose with there being so much yardage, would make several as gifts
thank you, Donna DeChellis
I would use the handpainted Schaefer yarn to crochet one side of Pineapples and Lace Tunic pattern which was a Web Bonus from my subscription of Crochet magazine. Extending it into a shawl with medium length tassels to show the diverse and gorgeous color of the yarn.
I would make the spiral nebula shawl…just beautiful!!
I'd make a lovely shawl to go with a peasant skirt I'm making.
I think I might try the Spiral Nebula shawl. Yes, it's for slightly heavier weight yarn so it would look a little lacier than the pattern design but I think it would show off the colors nicely.
I would use the handpainted Schaefer yarn to knit the Peaks and Valleys Scarf.

4 Support the San Diego Youth Symphony The symphony was started in 1945 as an orchestra for the best high school musicians in San Diego. But the pro-gram has grown during the years to pro-vide kids of all different skill levels the opportunity to study classical music. Its newest program is the Community Opus Project, which offers commu-nity-based music programs for at-risk youth. The project offers free programs to schools and community centers in underserved communities. SDYS began the first phase of this multiyear effort by implementing pilot Opus sites at Otay and Lauderbach elementary schools in Chula Vista in 2010. The program was so successful, that the following year it was expanded to four more Chula Vista elementary schools. Prior to this pro-In a time when school budgets are tight and music programs are one of the first to get cut, the San Diego Youth Sym-phony & Conservatory provides a place where 1,200 youth can learn and explore the world of classical music. SDYS won the Our City Good List competition, beating out 19 other non-profits that were nominated as the best service organizations for 2012. "As the school music landscape has changed, particularly as school orches-tra programs have diminished over the years, more and more students have enrolled in our program," said Dalouge Smith, president and CEO of SDYS. "We now have 10 different ensembles — six orchestras and strings groups, and four wind groups." 8 Our City San Diego | Jan/Feb 2013

LIKE his charge Trinniberg who brought international recognition to Trinidad and Tobago last November with his win in the Breeders Cup Sprint, trainer Shivananda Parbhoo, wowed the crowd at Friday night's 2012 Jetsam Awards ceremony.
The guest speaker at the event, Parbhoo--a United States resident since 1990--engaged the audience comprising, owners, trainers, jockeys and businessmen in the Century Ballroom at the Queen's Park Oval, firing jokes and questions at them while at the same time apologising, if he may have said anything unpleasant.
Getting out of the gates with a prepared speech in hand, he soon chose a different approach.
"I like to say what comes from me," he said, pointing to his heart and putting his three-page speech aside.
Recounting the 60 seconds he got to speak when receiving last month's Eclipse Award at Gulfstream Park, Florida where Trinniberg copped the champion male sprinter title, Parbhoo suggested to the Arima Race Club (ARC) that it should consider giving horsemen speaking time.
"I will like to see the people come up and say thank you, if it is for ten seconds" he said.
"If I am wrong, say so. Don't be afraid to tell me so,' he urged the audience.
Switching lanes, he then advised: "If I could do it (win the Breeders Cup Sprint), you can do it, by giving back 100 per cent to your horse and staying focused."
Prior to Parbhoo taking the stage, a video replay of Trinniberg's Breeders Cup triumph was shown. At the end of the clip, the guests applauded lustily. Tears of joy rolled down Parbhoo's cheeks.
"It was a hell of a ride," he said. "Having this horse from a two-year-old and running against all those big trainers is not easy, but I did not lose hope in him going into the Sprint although he was beaten in the start before."
Heading into the race, Parbhoo explained that his father Bisnath, who lived in New Jersey, was supposed to join him at Santa Anita but was prevented from doing so because of Hurricane Sandy. However, some fatherly advice was still imparted.
Parbhoo related: "He told me if you run 1:09, you will run third or fourth; if you run 1:08, probably third. You will have to run 1:07 to win, and Trinniberg won in 1:07 (plus)."
He then related how he accidentally came to own Trinniberg, Parbhoo having gone to buy vitamins for his horses, before ending up at a horse sale on the suggestion of an employee at the establishment.
"I saw this horse, and I bought him for US$21,000. I did not have any cheque book or money. I went back the next day and paid for him" Parbhoo recalled.
Remembering the colt's run in the Kentucky Derby, Parbhoo admitted that many people disagreed with him racing Trinniberg in the Derby, but he felt justified, and has not regretted it.
"Go for the Kentucky Derby. You might be luckier than me," was his advice to owners and horsemen.
Recalling his roots in T&T, Parbhoo explained that he and his father were small-time gardeners in Aranjuez and took the gamble to migrate to the USA. The only connection he had with horses and horseracing back then was attending Boxing Day racing, and seeing a horse named Jarrovian trained by Joe Hadeed.
Parbhoo admitted being saddened to learn of the loss of Horse of the Year, Bruceontheloose, and sympathised with the owners and trainer.
Having lost champion sprinter Giant Ryan, he knew the feeling of such a loss, as Giant Ryan had finished fifth in Dubai in the Sprint, a performance which was the best among the 12 horses sent from the USA to compete in Dubai. He said Giant Ryan took up the running hitting the eight-pole to the wire and he never made it suffering a fractured sesamoid in both forelegs.
"It is a day I will not forget. In this sport it is very tough" Parbhoo said.
He then explained his decision not to train horses for other people.
"We started with one horse, just to own a horse and today we own 17 horses. I get plenty of calls from everybody, and the reason being, when owners want to see their horse in a race, do you have a choice?" he asked.
"When that horse finishes fifth or sixth, they want to know why" He asked the trainers in the audience if this was not so, and begged: "Let the guys do their job."
At the end of his speech, Parbhoo received a standing ovation and was applauded as he made his way off the stage.
Earlier on, the ARC's president Hugh Lee King recapped the 2012 season and chief executive officer Chris Armond gave the vote of thanks and commended young calypsonian Aaron Duncan on his guest performance, and suggested he could probably ask the youngster to sing a song about Bruceontheloose.

Blurb about Marko Payne
My name Demarko Payne, but over the years that I took being an artist serious Marko Payne became a way of life. I'm a man with big dreams and uncounted numbers of plans to make my career as an artist come true with drive to never let it die. I am currently working on my first album "As the castle breaks" while as well looking for funding, sponsors, and investors, for me as an artist. I have unique selling skills which are my voice, business strategies, studio engineering skills, I appeal to both young and older crowds, and I make music my fans can relate to. I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio and for the average artist they can get a little fame but for an artist like me, which is different, a cross over artist here has to deal with negativity and consistent rejection. Through all the havoc Cincinnati gave me I still successfully managed to feature on three albums, 4 mixtapes, with acquiring artist development and engineering. I'm influenced by musically by artist like Drake, Lil Wayne, Musiq Soulchild, Lupe Fiasco, Joe Buddens, Kanye West, Eminem, Saliva, Machine Gun Kelly, Big Sean, B.O.B and Trey Songz. My style is like Lil Wayne, meets Joe Buddens with a hint of B.O.B and I'm not afraid to cross genres.
