NIN - Robin Finck
Finck grew up in Marietta, Georgia and played with several unsigned bands based primarily in the Atlanta area, including acts such as Prowess, Bat Your Lashes, Sik Dik (bandmates of which included Steve "Holiday" Childress and Michael Allen, currently of The Goodies and Greg Thum), and Impotent Sea Snakes.
He joined Nine Inch Nails as part of their touring band in 1994-95 for their Self-Destruct and Further Down the Spiral tours following the departure of previous guitarist Richard Patrick. Finck appeared with Nine Inch Nails at Woodstock '94, and saw his first official release with them, the Closure video, released in 1997. Once the tour was completed, he took a job playing for the circus troupe Cirque du Soleil in the original tour of Quidam. In 1997 Finck signed a two-year contract with Guns N' Roses as the replacement for Slash (who had quit the band at the end of the previous year) and began work on what was ultimately to become the band's long delayed album Chinese Democracy. When the two years were up the album had not been completed, although the song Oh My God was released on the End of Days soundtrack. Whether or not Finck played on the song is in dispute; GNR vocalist Axl Rose says he did while Finck himself says he did not.
Finck rejoined Nine Inch Nails as the band embarked on their Fragility v1.0 and Fragility v2.0 tours in support of the 1999 album The Fragile. These tours were recorded and released as the live album/DVD, And All That Could Have Been, which marked Finck's second release with them. He also played on a studio-recorded version of The Day The World Went Away on the companion album Still, which was included with the deluxe version of And All That Could Have Been and later made available as a standalone CD through nin.com. Shortly after the tour ended in 2000 he returned to Guns N' Roses, playing four shows with them in late 2001 followed by a brief tour of Europe and Asia in mid-2002 and a live appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards. A planned US tour was meant to continue through the remainder of 2002 but was called off by the promoter after two cancelled shows led to rioting by fans. Around this time Finck and then-bandmate Buckethead contributed to the soundtrack of the John Carpenter movie Ghosts of Mars, playing alongside members of thrash metal group Anthrax and guitar virtuoso Steve Vai. After his touring obligations with GNR were fulfilled he joined the LedZAriel production (a performance by acrobats set to the music of the band Led Zeppelin.
Finck was invited to rejoin NIN to tour in support of their 2005 album With Teeth but chose not to and the position was filled by Aaron North. In the summer of 2006, he toured Europe with Guns N' Roses playing in front of over 700,000 people. They finished up by touring North America for the remainder of the year, and went to Mexico, Australia and Japan in 2007.
On April 4, 2008, it was announced via nin.com that Finck would be rejoining Nine Inch Nails as a member of the live band. He subsequently contributed to the Nine Inch Nails album The Slip, earning a performance credit alongside then-band members Josh Freese and Alessandro Cortini.
In November 2008 Guns N' Roses' long awaited album Chinese Democracy was released. Finck has a co-writing credit on the song "Better", which was later released as a single. He also played guitar on every track, performed 7 of the guitar solos and has additional credits for keyboards, arrangements and pre-production. He chose to remain with NIN after the album's release and, as of March 21, 2009, has been replaced as the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses by DJ Ashba. The official Guns N' Roses website states that "Robin continues to be part of GN'R, by virtue of Guns' history and his involvement in Chinese Democracy".
Following the departure of NIN live band members Alessandro Cortini and Josh Freese at the end of 2008 Finck and bassist Justin Meldal-Johnson re-grouped with band leader Trent Reznor and new drummer Ilan Rubin and the 4-piece band completed an 8-date tour of Australia and New Zealand between February and March 2009. Finck continued to perform with the band throughout the 2009 Nine Inch Nails/Janes Addiction (NIN|JA) tour, with shows throughout North America, and the subsequent Wave Goodbye tour through Europe and Asia. The band then returned to the US to play a series of shows culminating in the final live appearance of Nine Inch Nails.
In October 2009 Finck and former Guns N' Roses bandmates Axl Rose, Tommy Stinson and Buckethead were named in a lawsuit by electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss's record labels Independiente and Domino alleging that they had committed copyright infringement by using portions of his compositions in the song "Riad 'n the Bedouins". Finck appears on the 2010 album The Lady Killer by artist Cee-Lo Green, performing guitar on the track "The Lady Killer Theme (Outro)".
On March 12, 2012, Finck appeared on-stage with Guns N' Roses, performing "Better", a song he co-wrote with Axl Rose.
On May 17, 2013, it was announced by Trent Reznor via his Twitter account and the nin.com home page, that Finck would be rejoining Nine Inch Nails for the 2013-14 tours.

As an ordained minister, and as a straight ally, the narrow interpretations and cherry picked theology based arguments to support the amendment boggles my mind. The religious based intrusion into civil rights to deny a person his or her rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is a prime example of where a minority voice seeks to dominate civil society.
The analogy that comes to mind is that of those extremist religious views in other nations against whom the US has gone to war. In effect, the religious extremism here is no different than extremist mullahs or the Taliban.
Sadly, the religious extremists here do not see their own actions reflected in this societal mirror.
The proposed amendment is clearly discriminatory and will not stand up to federal court ruling. yet those of us who are against it will be forced to have our taxes to pay for defending something we do not support.

"The Geography of Sentences." I examined word-nerdy terms like syntax. I referred to the psychological ways we react to beautiful phrases and why. And I ended up with a dozen pages that meant something meaningful to me.
I've read The Writer's Chronicle for as long as I've been a serious student of writing, so it is an immense honor to open up its March/April issue and find my essay there. Feeling a bit out of my league, to tell the truth. But happy, too. And reflective. There are so many paths we can take, and today I'm just grateful that mine has led me here.

The Winter It Didn't Snow
The winter it didn't snow,
I lost two pairs of slippers.
I stood in steaming showers.
I left the blinds broke-open after dark.
The winter it didn't snow,
I peeled and crunched on carrots.
I trailed a hawk out hunting.
I practiced yoga, cat and cowed, pigeon-toed.
The winter it didn't snow,
I met the sunrise, sunset.
I listened to those engines.
I tended potted plants with faith and fuss.
The winter it didn't snow,
I scribbled a.m. hope notes.
I remembered California.
I found myself entranced again with techno.
The winter it didn't snow,
I held my love like hunger.
I warmed my feet along him.
I dreamt of us as children, us as grey.
The winter it didn't snow,
I touched the fine lines forming.
I finally took my vitamins.
I tried to hush my mind, to let it slow.
The winter it didn't snow,
I wanted truth. But vastness.
I wanted peace. But Future.
I sought simplicity, the cool white sky.
The winter it didn't snow,
I waited for that foot fall.
I waited for that banner.
But as each month passed on, it whispered, No.
So, the winter it didn't snow,
I curled my breath each morning.
I studied frost like scripture.
I waved, Hello Moon, my dear shy friend.
The winter it didn't snow,
I made promises on car rides.
I laughed into my muscle aches.
I failed. I cried out. And I tried again.

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Dan Migas and I am writing this from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. I was introduced to Deans course about a year ago but never got serious about my financial future and real estate investing. I am a international Gulfstream pilot and spend much of my time in remote corners of the globe. My wife Holly and I have been married for 20 years and have one son in college and one about to graduate high school. I do not want to continue working for someone else and spending time away from my family. Holly actually called me in Africa a few weeks back and let me know that Dean was having a special on his new book and she thought I might like to get it. I ordered them that day. Not being at home I could not get the books in my hands but I did down load them and started with "Become a Real Estate Millionaire" listening to it on my Ipod and spending time on the web site. I have found much encouragement and information and am enjoying all that I am learning and starting to understand. I feel that I have found what it is I want to spend the rest of my life doing. A business that Holly and I can work together and one that will allow us the financial freedom and the flexibility we have always wanted. So far I have set goals in writing for the next 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, one, three, five and ten years. I have identified my market, began selecting my team( I already had a great Real Estate agent) and am looking at properties and growth trends in my area on the web. One item in the course that got my attention was about the county planning board and future expansion and road improvements in the area. I got on the counties web site and there was the proposed bypass set to be constructed in the next 3 years allowing unprecedented access to an area previously unavailable for commuters because of traffic and congestion issues. My search is going to include looking at properties in the area that will become a viable option for people wanting to live in the country and yet make the commute into the city when the by pass is finished. I also wanted to attend the county tax auction but unfortunately it will be held next week and I will not be home until the 15th of October. Anyways just wanted to start my journal and introduce myself and let everyone know how much I have gotten from the community on the web site.
My first journal post.

What a tremendous wealth of information and a great community of supportive and encouraging like minded people. I read Joe's post about developing relationships with the banks regarding REOs and have a email into my local account person at my own bank and have started researching other small local banks and credit unions while here in Africa. I have designed and ordered my business cards so they will be waiting for me when I get home. One question I did have is when we are doing assignment contracts how does it work for my real estate agent who is working with me and helping me find and make those types of deals? If I do not take possession of the property and assign it to another investor what type of arrangement do some of you have worked out to compensate your agent? I am about 3/4 of the way through Deans book, listening to it on my I pod. Today my action items are to copy and review all the relevant forms involved in typical no money down transactions since this is how I want to start my investing career. Good luck to all and can you tell me if there is another Edge event in the works for 2010?
Taking action second by second and far from home! Awesome! Yes, there will be an Edge event 2010 and I can't wait until the details are revealed!!!! I will definitely be there! Last year's event was in April, so I would continue to look for details from Dean...I am sure there will be an email from him whenever plans are set.
As far as agents, maybe people do have separate compensation arrangements for things that fall through, but honestly, if you're doing the 25:1 formula of Matt's with your agent, you should land some business to assign, and your agent will be compensated by the deal itself. As far as I know, if you're not making money, your agent shouldn't be making money...I realize you don't want to burn out your agent (and some have expressed concern about this, so I don't pretend to know it all here!), but if you are driven to succeed with your agent....the goal will be to do MANY deals with them, so the ones that fall through are not a biggie because the answer will be "NEXT" for both of you!
I know you already have an agent....so some of this will be repetitive in terms of finding one, but if you read along to the last part of the blog...I talk about setting up the "system" with your agent. I don't have deals done yet as I'm just getting everything going too and making sure I have buyers set for these "assign" deals and trying to get a lot of action steps accomplished....but trying to work it as closely to what Matt does per the book and last year's Edge event.

I realize there will be a lot of learning that goes on. It seems to be happening every day. That verse in Ephesians is one of my wife Holly's favorites. I am happy to know that there are so many believers taking part in what is going on here. I believe it speaks loudly to the integrity and credibility of Dean's desire to make a difference in so many other peoples lives. Glad to hear there will be another Edge event. My flying schedule is a little unscheduled should I say but will be there if at all possible. Just 30 minutes ago I was praying about moving forward with REI and what God has for us as a family. My biggest burning desire is to arrive at the place where we are financially independent and can spend my time with those that are most important to me and not be running off to the far corners of the world to facilitate someone else s fortunes. Thank you and God bless you in all you set your hand to do.
Quite literally! I am glad you are so inspired and have the wonderful support of your wife. As there can be a lot of negative forces out there, and you'll see more people on Dean's site affected by these nay-sayers at home, it is really quite a blessing to have a "positive encouragement" force right at the heart of your home! My husband, while not fully convinced yet, is very supportive and that support means the world to me. And it's a blessing to know Him and have His hand in your every day efforts! As you mention, I have found there are many believers on this site and it really IS so encouraging to see and was an added surprise bonus for me in being a part of this Dean family here!
Like you, my goals revolve around.... having financial independence and freedom in spending our time together as we build a family rather than my husband traveling as much as he does now, and at the whim of a company who has control over his time and those hours (or lack thereof in this economy). The urgency is on for me as we don't have children yet being newlyweds, but we will and I want to get as much going here as I can to get more in that "comfort zone" of having done some deals and doing more as I know how busy it can be with kids! My father is a pilot so I relate to your schedule and desire to be closer to your wife and family. Thank you for your well-wishes Dan, and I hope you continue to find the support from home and from this site in your journey in real estate! Let the excitement begin! And while I am new at this too right now, please let me know if I can ever be of help to you!

I am getting very close to my leaving date, only around 9 weeks and I have managed to sort out most things, if I was a normal person this is where I would start worrying about my lack of plan and money, but instead I am rather looking forward to the adventure! Have been getting plenty of exercise and getting good at camping over the last few months so I am starting to feel ready.
The main problem I have been working on is having enough money to travel for more than 6+ months, this has been rather tricky, I have managed to save a lot, which will be quite helpful in a crisis, but I am planing to spend as little of that money as possible. In the end, the money isn't much of a problem, as I would enjoy working along the way and even busking if necessary, as I am traveling fairly light and quite willing to camp at any opportunity food is the main outgoing, which thankfully is fairly cheap.
The only other annoying problem is getting my passport sorted, in the end after quite a few months I have given up getting a British passport for many annoying reasons, so now I need to renew my Spanish passport, as I am in England I will need to travel to London, no big deal, gives me a little trip to try out if I am ready to travel for practically nothing.
So, if all goes according to plan, which it seldom does, I will be off very soon! an until then I am just going to practice my camping and being thrifty.

Researchers with the National Science Foundation-funded BICEP2 Collaboration today announced that their telescope in Antarctica has allowed them to collect what they believe is the first direct evidence for cosmic inflation.
Inflation is the cataclysmic event in which, in a fleeting fraction of a second following the Big Bang, the infant universe expanded exponentially, stretching far beyond the view of the best telescopes.

Precision farming event to focus on livestock farming developments
Developments in precision livestock agriculture are set to come under the spotlight at a special event showcasing the UK and Europe's best new developments in the sector.
Precision Management of Grassland and Grazing Livestock will hear experts talk on topics ranging from soil and pasture monitoring technologies to smart nutrient systems for grasslands.
It will also include subjects including monitoring systems for grazing livestock, and management of grazing animals.
Held as a satellite meeting of the 11th European Conference on Precision Agriculture (ECPA 2017), the event - taking place at Pollock Halls, Edinburgh on 18 and 19 July - is being run as a joint venture with SRUC.
It is also being supported by organisations including BSAS, AgriEpi Centre, ECPA, British Grassland Society, Irish Grassland Association, Soil Essentials, Newcaslte University and the AHDB.
ECPA is currently inviting people to submit offered papers across a range of precision livestock subjects, which will be published in an online journal. The deadline for submissions is Saturday 1 April 2017.
BSAS senior vice president and conference organiser Richard Dewhurst, said: "There have been huge strides in precision agriculture in recent years, but much of that focus has been on how the technology can assist arable production.
"This satellite meeting will look at how some of the approaches that have been adopted by the arable sector, as well as others being developed, can be applied in livestock production.
"As well as looking at tools for soil and nutrient monitoring, the event will focus on the management grazing animals, to understand how these innovative new technologies can help livestock producers everywhere."
About ECPA 2017
ECPA 2017 is the premier precision farming event of the year, bringing livestock and crops specialists together at one conference to discuss the impact of innovative new technologies and equipment on agriculture.
Delegates for ECPA2017 (core programme, Monday 17 to Wednesday 19 July inclusive) and the Grassland and Grazing programme (Tuesday 18 to Wednesday 18 inclusive) will have access to both conference programmes and exhibit areas for their respective periods of registration.
The aim is to provide cross-fertilisation, networking and communication opportunities for those working in precision land management.

HOUMA — Plagued by rain, foul weather and cancelled events, the free outdoor monthly concert series, Downtown Live After 5, is ending its latest season with a performance by Errol and the Blues Boys.
Anne Picou, Main Street manager for Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Governemt and event organizer, said this is your last chance this year to catch the popular outdoor free concert series.
The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 29 in Courthouse Square, 7856 Main St., downtown Houma.
"Errol and his band have been playing for us for many years," Picou said. "It is an awesome show. They play everything from oldies to modern songs. They are basically a really good feeling band. We love to see them come back when they are able to play."
Trosclair, 70, leader of the band and keyboard player, said he's excited to close out the event's season.
"I love playing in downtown Houma," he said. "It is a special deal for us. It is not about money, we just love to play. We get to play outdoors and we get to see people we have not seen in a while. I look forward to playing here every year."
Trosclair has been playing music for more than 50 years, and the band is a six-piece group that has been playing for almost as long.
"Some of the players have come and gone, but the basic group has stayed pretty close," he said. "We have had the same drummer for 35 years. It is a very tight-knit group."
Trosclair said the group performs lots of blues and rock 'n' roll from the '50s, '60s, '70s and some more modern songs, too.
The members of the group include Trosclair on the keyboards, Don Prosperie on drums, Karl Kimble on guitar, Carl Durfrene on bass, Jimmy George on saxophone and Anthony "Tony" Waguespack on trumpet.
Trosclair and his band have been a favorite at the monthly event, according to organizers.
"We have been playing for Downtown Live After 5 for about as long as it has been around," he said.
Errol and the Blues Boys will be selling their CD at the monthly event. The CD came out a couple of years ago and includes the songs "Sick and Tired," "Rockin' Pneumonia," "Rock Me Baby" and "Georgia."
"We are praying for good weather like we have been having," Trosclair said. "I enjoy playing for the last show of the year because it is usually pretty cool. We would like to have everybody come out and have a good
Food and beverages will be sold and Picou welcomes participants to bring a lawn chair to enjoy the free concert sponsored by the Houma Downtown Development Corp.

"We are chomping at the bit to play," Trosclair said. "We can't wait."
