The compulsory purchase of land around the Cliffs of Moher has sparked controversy with local farmers, who claim they have been bullied and intimidated by Clare County Council…Andrea is joined by Pat Sweeney, Farmer, Tour Guide, Chair Doolin Branch IFA and Tom Lane, former Clare IFA County Chair to discuss.
The Tobin Report, which is designed to overcome an impasse and determine a future management structure for the Cliffs of Moher, has recommended that Clare County Council buy the necessary land from over 30 landowners to go on and bring the trail up to standard. The Southern coastal walking trail and 500m section of the Northern route remain closed as significant safety works are required on the trail. The Tobin report also estimates it would cost the local authority over €460K to manage the trail and has recommended Compulsory Purchase Orders of land as a last resort. None of this is binding however, there will undoubtedly be several meetings with the council, Fáilte Ireland, Clare Local Development Company and Clare IFA ahead. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Parteen-based Clare IFA representative, Tom Lane and Joe Cooney, Bodyke Fine Gael TD. Photo (c) Visit Clare

Nobody works on an open-source project forever—eventually, people move on. So of course today's Postgres contributors want to see more developers join the project, pick up the torch, and continue to make Postgres amazing. Hence the importance of mentorship. In this episode of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, PostgreSQL major contributor and committer Robert Haas shares how he learned the ropes in Postgres by channeling “what would Tom Lane do” during patch reviews; why he launched the new PostgreSQL Hackers Mentoring program; and the intellectually stimulating care and feeding it takes to make Postgres thrive.Links mentioned in this episode:Podcast episode: Becoming a Postgres committer with Melanie Plageman Slide: PGConf EU 2024 talk by Claire Giordano about Contributions to Postgres, including new mentoring programBlog post: New Mentoring Program for Code Contributors in Postgres, by Robert HaasBlog post: Postgres Mentoring Program Updates, by Robert Haas Discord invite for PostgreSQL Hacker Mentoring server: https://discord.gg/bx2G9KWyrYBio: Margo Seltzer, the PGConf.dev 2024 keynote speakerVideo: PGConf.dev 2024 panel discussion about Making PostgreSQL Hacking More Inclusive with Amit Langote, Masahiko Sawada, Melanie Plageman, & Robert HaasMailing list: PostgreSQL HackersUpcoming Conference: PGConf.dev 2025, the annual PostgreSQL Development Conference happening in Montreal Canada on May 13-16, 2025Blog: Postgres committer Tomas Vondra's Blog - Look for [PATCH IDEA] Video of Talk: CMUDB Database talk about PostgreSQL Optimizer Methodology, by Robert HaasPodcast episode: How I got started as a developer & in Postgres with David RowleyCalendar invite: LIVE recording of Ep25 of Talking Postgres podcast to happen on Wed Mar 12, 2025 with guest Dawn Wages of the Python developer community

It was not Tom Lane's plan to become a computer person. Tom's plan was to be a pinball machine designer. And yet for the last 26 years Tom has been one of the most prolific engineering contributors to Postgres. In this episode of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, PostgreSQL luminary Tom Lane walks us through how he got his start as a developer and in Postgres—including his time working on desktop calculators at HP. And how he has code running on Mars (and most of us don't.) During Tom's PhD studies at Carnegie Mellon, nobody told him databases were so interesting! It wasn't until Tom needed a database to store stock trading information that he first got to work with Postgres. And that's when Tom's 26-year-long (and counting) Postgres story began.Links mentioned in this episode:Wikipedia: Tom Lane (computer scientist)Wikipedia: HP 9800 seriesCMU CS Department Coke Machine historyWikipedia: Honeywell 316Wikipedia: Teletype Model 33Wikipedia: Hydra (operating system)Wikipedia: William WulfWikipedia: Jon Bentley (computer scientist)Wikipedia: Mary Shaw (computer scientist)Wikipedia: UsenetGitHub: postgres commit by tglsfdcArticle: The Mars 2020 Engineering Cameras and Microphone on the Perseverance Rover: A Next-Generation Imaging System for Mars Exploration by J.N.

I call him by his pseudonym, Danny White, but he refers to himself in this episode simply as GOD. From the late 1970s through the 1980s, Danny Smith played in some of the most original and unique bands in Erie (e.g., X-Whites, Generic Beat, Wiggling Judies, Rub The Buddah). His antics onstage were legendary, and occasionally would end up with him wearing little or nothing by the end of a show. In this frenetic interview, I try to tame the wild man long enough for him to coherently tell me his story ... and it was worth it. Don't miss this one!P.S. You might not want to listen to this one with the kids around. Thanks to the JPT Foundation for sponsoring the Erie Music History podcast.

If you could work on anything, would you quit your job to pursue it? Postgres committer and major contributor Melanie Plageman joined Claire Giordano on this episode of the Talking Postgres podcast (formerly Path To Citus Con) to share her story about becoming a Postgres committer. Melanie pivoted from IT consulting to open-source development, driven by her fascination with systems engineering and Postgres open source. What's the secret to getting your patch committed? Feedback is a gift, but how willing are you to embrace it? How important is mentorship—and how important is it to ask for help? Even though crafting clear, concise emails to a technical community might not be easy, Melanie shows how empathy for other Postgres developers can help your work to stand out.Links discussed in this episodePgsql-hackers mailing list: Announcement about new Postgres committersConference: PGConf.dev 2025Blog: Talk, then code by Dave ChenyBlog posts about mentoring by Robert HaasBlog: Mentoring Program Updates by Robert HaasX: Brendan Burn's tweet about the Kubernetes Chop Wood and Carry Water awardAward: Chop Wood Carry WaterBlog: Who Contributed to PostgreSQL Development in 2023? by Robert HaasAbstract: What's in a Postgres major release?

The influence of a father (or parent) has generational impact, and a father's influence on his children builds an image of God for them to embrace. So what does an influential father look like? How do we become one? And what generational impact can it have once we embrace the process?

Tom Lane, David Schnelwar, Michelle Bourg and Greg Peurach return to discuss the nominees on this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ballot. Also...who won the previous episode's draft? Listen to find out!
Clare farmers taking to the streets this evening are said to be demanding respect as food producers. Members of the agricultural sector are participating in tractor runs across the country from 4pm today to show solidarity with their EU counterparts who have been voicing their opposition to increased costs and green policies in recent weeks. The meeting points in Clare are Setrights Tavern in Cratloe, Duggans Pub in Spancilhill and Dromoland. Parteen-based Chair of the Irish Farmers Assocation Clare branch Tom Lane has been telling me that farmers are feeling underappreciated for the valuable contribution they make to society.
For our first episode of 2024, let's start with a draft....more precisely a Rock Hall Nominees Draft! Tom Lane, Mark Lempke, David Schnelwar, Michelle Bourg and Greg Peurach return to discuss who they believe will be nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Performers category in 2024. To spice things up, we're gonna predict the ballot in a draft-style format! Over the course of 5 rounds, we each select 5 artists and make the case on why they should appear on the ballot. There's a lot of strategic decisions involved but this is a fun, engaging conversation on the direction we think the Rock Hall is heading next year. Get your pencils sharpened, fill out those scorecards and see if you agree (or disagree) with our picks!
A Clare farming representative believes if retail prices for fresh produce go any lower, farming won't be a viable profession. It comes as a price war has erupted between supermarkets in Ireland after Lidl has announced reductions on over 600 products with 35% off some fresh and frozen products. Aldi has followed suit by slashing the cost of some items by up to 50% and other supermarkets are expected to follow suit. Parteen-based Clare Irish Farmers Association chair Tom Lane says it's vital it farmers' survival that they're making a sufficient margin on their produce.
The Clare Chair of the Irish Farmers Association claims local producers must be protected in the coming year to keep rural Ireland alive. It follows a year of slow but sure recovery for the Agriculture industry, where output fertiliser and fuel costs have begun to fall, however the price for Irish beef has consistently fallen 30c per/kg below the prime export benchmark. Farmers meanwhile are still waiting for clarity on the EU's new five year STAR rating system which determines the price that cattle can be sold for. Parteen farmer Tom Lane says farmers need urgent reassurance for the year ahead.
“Well done, good and faithful servant” are words that we all want to hear once our race is finished. But how do we live a life that's worthy of that statement? What are the daily steps we can take? And what does it look like to live a faith-filled life, regardless of the season you are in? This week, Preston sits down for a conversation with Pastor Tom Lane.
The Clare County Chair of the IFA has criticised the Minister for Agriculture's "unacceptable" delay in issuing income support to farmers across the country. Minister Charlie McConalogue has announced that advance payments are being issued to farmers under the Basic Income Support for Sustainability as well as the Complementary Redistributive Income Support for Sustainability schemes. The advance payments are worth over €452 million to 103,764 farmers and in Clare alone, 5,309 payments have been made which represents a total value of over €20 million. However, Clare County Chair of the Irish Farmers Association, Tom Lane says considering the pressure farmers are currently under, the payments should've come well in advance of this week.
Tom Lane returns to discuss the new documentary Reinventing Elvis: The '68 Comeback (2023) about the making of Elvis' triumphant NBC special.

The Clare Chair of the Irish Farmers Association says they need more time to assess and implement sustainable farming technologies. The Enviornmental Protection Agency's latest report shows that agricultural emissions fell by 1.2% last year, despite a rise in herd numbers. The EPA has attributed the reduction to a marked decrease in nitrogen fertiliser use, with the product becoming virtually unattainable from the outset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ireland is still running behind on its goal of reducing agricultural emissions by 25% for 2030, with the prospect of introudcing a cow culling scheme under consideration by the Department of Agriculture. However Parteen farmer, Tom Lane believes the EPA 's report proves that climate goals can be met by adpating to alternative methods.

Those of you who attend our Modern Services may recognize Tom as a frequent bass player. Tom jumped into serving with us almost immediately after he and his wife Jan began attending our church - you'll hear more about that in the interview. Tom's story begins in the San Francisco area in the early 1980s when he was feeling broken and distraught as his marriage was falling apart. He was working for an armored car company and trying to take care of his young daughter while struggling through this separation. During this time his sister-in-law gave him a book called "Unconditional Love" which laid out the love God has for us. Through this book Tom came to know and understand who Jesus was. He gave his life to Christ, but it wasn't until about a decade later that Tom really went all in with the Christian life. Once he started serving and looking to cultivate community everything changed for the better. You'll hear about how Tom met his wife Jan (they've been married almost 30 years!), what it was like to serve and be a part of multiple church plants, how he learned to play the bass, how moving to Arizona got Tom and Jan connected with Palm Valley Church, how the Lord was faithful in protecting Tom during an armed robbery and so much more. Tom is incredibly passionate about living life to serve the Lord and you'll be challenged to do the same through this conversation. We're so thankful for his servant heart!Serve at DSCC: https://dscchurch.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/924118Would you please subscribe and leave us a review?

Many of the great LP cuts from the 60s and 70s were played here on Tales Vinyl Tells, hosted on StudioMillsWellness.com, before March 2022 when Tales Vinyl Tells got an hour slot on Wednesdays at 5 central time on RadioFreeNashville to carry on with the mission. Since my goal was and remains to not repeat too many tunes, except for replays of course, there are some killers that need to be repeated. Like, Jefferson Airplane at Woodstock. I love to hear Grace announce early that Sunday morning in 1969, “You've heard the heavy groups, now you'll hear morning maniac music. Yeh, it's a New Dawn……. Good morning, People!” and the Airplane launches into Volunteers (of America). Like, Joe Walsh and the James Gang, Thunderclap Newman and Revolution. Those last two were the first two played as a great progressive album rock radio station went on-air at Lake Worth beach, Florida in 1970 (?). That being WMUM-FM, lovingly known as Mother. And it was one. I loved my Mother and the people there that made it happen. Kerry Bogard, Pat Sullender, Bill Davis, Gil Colquitt(RIP), Galen Barker, Michael Weber, Tom Lane and the first guy on the air, Geoff Fox. If you listen to the Bill Davis interview, you'll hear how someone I know closely played Whole Lotta Love way before WMUM was born. (Smile) Hope you enjoy all of them here. You can reach out to me at TalesVinylTells@gmail.com. The month of March I celebrate another year at RadioFreeNashville. 2023 is one year.
Clare's IFA Chair says the Residential Zoned Land Tax is an 'unfair' burden on farm families. Landowners who have greenfield or brownfield sites here that have been identified as suitable for residential use will be liable for a 3% tax on the value of their zoned land from 2024. Those who feel they do not meet the tax criteria only have until the 1st of January to make a submission to their local authority. Ardnacrusha-based farmer Tom Lane claims farm families in Clare could be taxed up to €3,000 euros per acre under the measure.
Tom Lane, Mark Lempke, David Schnelwar and Greg Peurach return to the show to discuss who they believe will be nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2023. To spice things up, we're gonna predict the ballot in a draft-style format! Over the course of 5 rounds, we each select 5 artists and make the case on why they should appear on the ballot. There's a lot of strategic decisions involved but this is a fun, engaging conversation on the direction we think the Rock Hall is heading next year. Get your pencils sharpened, fill out those scorecards and see if you agree (or disagree) with our picks!
https://www.thomaslane.com/ Captivating Thriller Pierces the Genre with a Cascade of Unworldly Events Surrounding an NYPD Cop and His Serial Killer Target, Revealing the Mysteries of Human Existence Through an Extraordinary Twist of Fate Forced to Straddle Alternative Realities, a Blue Collar Cop Must Evolve Beyond His Badge, Overcoming His Own Dark Past in Gripping Modern Fable LOS ANGELES, CA NOVEMBER 1, 2022 – Author, poet and musician Thomas Lane debuts his first novel, The Karma Factor, a work of visionary fiction exploring the boundaries of human consciousness against the backdrop of a classic suspense thriller. With a purpose that transcends the genre, Lane expertly weaves the novel's wider message in a ground-breaking, white-knuckle ride between worlds, as characters set out to make karmic amendments, right wrongs and re-establish the power of choice. Haunted by a nameless guilt, tired of running from his demons, NYPD detective James Early decides to end his life. Taunting an armed suspect into blind fury, he makes himself an easy target. But the bullets fired at point blank range are mysteriously diverted. There is no blood and no wounds. Instead of the end, Early finds himself, miraculously, at the beginning of a long and arduous quest to solve the riddle of the missing bullets and the search for meaning: “If I've been given some kind of reprieve…what in God's name am I supposed to do with it?” The Karma Factor flips the good-versus-evil theme on its side as it traverses the ages, interlacing past lives with present, on a hero's quest for redemption. Lane juxtaposes veteran city detectives and an elusive serial killer with a visionary monk sequestered in an abandoned monastery in the Tibetan Himalayas. When protagonist Early sets out to uncover the mysterious force that saved his life, he discovers that, in his previous lifetime, he had been part of a secret mission. Led by a Tibetan sage, a team of advanced thinkers had gained access to the Akashic Records, a repository of every soul's thoughts, deeds and actions through time. Their goal? To use these records to locate key individuals' unhandled karma in the past––and help those soaccountable for their misdeeds. The mission's ultimate challenge would be to restore an awareness of possibilities, unburdened by the past, to a world engulfed by denial and fear. Lane adds a unique perspective to the genre: “I see the world as a place of grit and suffering and magic. I wanted to capture those contrasting elements, show them as parts of a whole when viewed through a lens that is vast and kind and timeless. Although the story revolves around a cop and a serial killer, the book is fundamentally about hope––a hope that understands both bullets and prayers, and the path that goes beyond.” About Thomas Lane: Born and raised in Connecticut, Thomas Lane is a multidimensional artist drawn to spaces where art, spirit, and social justice intersect. He is the author of The Artists' Manifesto and a catalog of songs, poems, screenplays, novels, and paintings. He also founded The Helen Hudson Foundation, a charitable organization focused on social issues, including homelessness, racism, and the environment. He currently lives with his wife in Rhode Island.
