Brazilian GP 2011
Saturday Team Quotes
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st, 1:11.918): "It's pretty special to get the record. Nigel obviously took three or four races less to achieve it, but nevertheless it's been an incredible year for us and an incredible journey and it's not yet over, we've got another chapter tomorrow and I'm very happy. It's hard to believe. I didn't feel that happy yesterday, but this morning I was much happier with the car and how it felt, it was much more to my liking and I was able to go from there and improve to get the pole. You know what you can do and the time you should be able to get ahead of the lap, but when you cross the line - you know if you have done it or not, without looking at the time. There wasn't much left today and that gives extreme satisfaction - and it gets even better when the engineer comes on the radio and tells you you've done it."
Mark Webber (2nd, 1:12.099): "Qualifying was a good effort today from the whole team. It was very close with Sebastian, he did a great lap again, but there wasn't much between us. It was a good session today and we know there's going to be some weather coming in, which will mix things up a bit. That's very good for the people at home watching on TV, but it means a few grey hairs for us sitting in the cockpit. I'm looking forward to the race, it's a good challenge here and it would be great to finish the season with a good result."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "An awesome achievement by Sebastian and the team today. It's a new record in Formula One, which is a small piece of history for Sebastian and is thoroughly deserved. He shared the record with Nigel for two weeks and he now has some fairly illustrious names behind him, so a great performance. A great performance also from Mark Webber today to lock out the front row ahead of what I'm sure will be a really exciting final Grand Prix of 2011."
Cyril Dumont, Renault: "So another record today for Sebastian with fifteen pole positions. He broke the last record from Mansell, which is fantastic. It's also fantastic for Mark to lock out the front row and for the team to finish it's Saturday season with a one-two - it reflects the performance of the car, which was been amazing. I hope that tomorrow we will transform it into a strong finish, it would be great to finish the season with a one-two."
Jenson Button (3rd, 1:12.283): "All in all, Q2 was a bit nerve-wracking for me - but enjoyable in the end because I haven't managed to get past Q2 here in Brazil since 2005! So, as I say, it was satisfying to get into the top 10. In Q3, the car was working well too: balance-wise, I think the car was as good as we were going to get it. My quick lap was pretty ragged. I was pretty aggressive on the throttle, which you have to be to be fast around here. That's not normally my style, but it was definitely quick and in fact I crossed the line thinking I'd be farther up the grid than I eventually was. But that was because the two guys in front of me did a great job too. If it rains here tomorrow, as we're told it may well do, then it'll almost certainly pour down - and that's bound to make things very tricky. Still, this place lends itself to good overtaking - over the years there have been some great moves into Turns One and Four for example - so I think everything is well set for Formula 1 to put on a fantastic show tomorrow."
Lewis Hamilton (4th, 1:12.480): "Jenson was massively quick today. I ended up a couple of tenths away from him, so clearly I could have gone a bit faster, but the fact is that although I didn't make any mistakes on my best lap I just wasn't quite quick enough on the day. While that's inevitably a little disappointing for me personally, Jenson's pace is very encouraging for the team. We have reason to be optimistic about tomorrow too: we're both on the second row, and we can definitely mount a strong challenge from there. I don't think we're quite there in terms of race pace in the dry, but hopefully we'll be there if it's wet. Whatever happens though, it's going to be a tough, long race; and if the weather is wet or changeable, as predicted, then it's going to be very interesting indeed. Interlagos is a place that makes you feel inspired as a racing driver: it's Ayrton Senna's homeground, and the Brazilian fans are unbelievably passionate. I've started fourth here a few times before [in 2008 and 2010], so I hope four is a good number for me. Let's hope we can turn it into something even better tomorrow!"
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Perhaps we didn't quite get the best out of the Option tyre in Q3 this afternoon - it could have been a tyre pressure issue although we're not yet sure about that - but we still put both our cars on the second row which is a pretty decent result. Jenson nailed a particularly impressive lap to end up in third place - his best qualifying performance ever at Interlagos. Lewis delivered a very good lap too, just two-tenths shy of Jenson's best. He experimented with driving two flying laps in Q3 - a fast-ish one followed by a really hot one in an attempt to get more out of the Option - but in the event it didn't appear to confer any benefit over the conventional one-flying-lap approach adopted by Jenson. Looking forward to tomorrow, it may well rain - and, if it does, the race will surely be incident-packed and therefore unpredictable. We geared both our cars with the probability of a wet race in mind, in fact. But, rain or no rain, Jenson and Lewis are both hungry to notch up Vodafone McLaren Mercedes' seventh victory of the season, and we're confident that both their race cars will be fully competitive on the day."
Fernando Alonso (5th, 1:12.591): "My subscription to fifth place has been extended for one more Saturday! This time however, getting to my classic starting place on the grid was a bit more of a struggle than usual. We are not very pleased with the balance of the car and we were expecting a very competitive Mercedes. However, in Q3, we got much closer to the McLarens than we could have expected, while the first of the Mercedes was left a few tenths back. What this means is that we managed to get a little bit more out of it than our potential would indicate. I certainly can't say the way qualifying went was much of a surprise. If it really rains tomorrow, it will be a very exciting and open race: no one really knows how competitive they can be in the wet and then it requires next to nothing - one lap more or less out on track at a time when the conditions change - to turn around a situation that looks set in stone. It's true that for us, the problem of getting the tyres up to temperature are more acute in the wet, but then it's equally true that when the track does dry, we are quicker than our rivals: the various stages of the race at Silverstone demonstrated this to be the case. If however, we were to race in the dry, then maybe there will be a lot of stops because today the tyres seemed to degrade more than yesterday. The perfect recipe for the last race of the year? The four in front of us stop and me and Felipe are ahead of the rest!"
Felipe Massa (7th, 1:13.068): "I was expecting more from this final qualifying of the year and I definitely cannot be happy with this seventh place. Unfortunately, we were unable to find the right balance throughout the weekend. In some corners I was locking up the front and in the slower ones I suffered with understeer, in others I lacked traction: all in all, the car was rather difficult to drive. On top of that, it was a rather complicated day. I had to use two sets of Softs in Q2 and I paid for that in Q3, as I could only do one run. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain so the situation could change. It's difficult to make predictions on the relative strengths: this year in the wet, sometimes we have seen a very strong Red Bull, other times McLaren have been very quick, but it's also true that anything can happen in these conditions. The important thing is to be prepared for all situations. For me, it's always a fantastic feeling racing at this track, in front of my amazing home crowd: I will try my all to do well and to finally make it onto the podium at the end of such a difficult year. It would be a nice way to end my tenth season in Formula 1 and to celebrate in a worthy manner my hundredth race with Scuderia Ferrari."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "If the numbers and the equation are always the same, there is no reason for them to deliver a different sum! We ended development on this car several months ago and everything we are doing now is aimed at next year. In the meantime, we are trying to squeeze out the maximum from what we have got, in order to finish this season in the best way we can. The outcome of that therefore is that today it was difficult to expect anything more than a fifth place, don't you think? Fernando gave it his all on his final lap, getting very close to the McLarens. Felipe probably paid the price for having only one set of new tyres left to run in Q3: if he'd had one more, he would have also managed to make it onto the third row. We go into this final race of a very long championship in the same way in which we have tackled the others: with concentration and determination aimed at getting the best possible result. The weather forecast for tomorrow is for a high chance of rain: in that case, anything can happen and it will be crucial to react properly to any eventualities that might arise."
Pat Fry: "Honestly, there's nothing much new to say at the end of the final qualifying session of 2011. We are aware we have the third best car in the pack: the consequence of this is that, if nothing strange happens, then fifth place is the most logical result. Then, taking into account that we did not manage to find a perfect balance on the two cars and that here we have seen a Mercedes very much on the ball, we must look at this result as a glass that's half full, considering the gaps to Fernando of those directly ahead and behind him in the classification. Felipe had to use an additional set of softs in Q2, which definitely penalised him in Q3. Given the weather forecast, we can expect an eventful race. However, if it is run in the dry, then it will be interesting to see how the tyres behave, considering that the track conditions seem to change significantly even when there is not much of a big change in temperature. Our aim will be the same as ever: to fight for a place on the podium, while trying to help Fernando to reach second place in the Drivers' Championship."
Mercedes GP
Nico Rosberg (6th, 1:13.050): "That was a good qualifying session today. We saved a set of option tyres for the race, and we qualified ahead of one of the Ferraris which has always been my goal during the season. So I'm quite pleased to be starting from sixth place tomorrow. I was maybe a little too slow on my out lap in Q3 so my tyres didn't work perfectly on my fast lap, and that's why I wasn't as quick as in Q2. I will push to gain a good result tomorrow for the team who have done a great job over the whole season."
Michael Schumacher (10th, No Time): "The forecast says there is a high probability for rain during the race. With this in mind, we have kept all of our options open for tomorrow and we had a strategic approach to qualifying today. Still we need to find out why we weren't able to match our times from this morning. There will be a lot of data checking now, so that tomorrow it will be very different and we can attack for some points."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "We had a reasonable final qualifying session of the season today. There was a threat of rain throughout, which meant we ran slightly earlier than we ultimately needed to in some of the sessions to be on the safe side. Nico's run in Q2 was very impressive, and that performance potential augurs well for the race. Michael took a measured approach to Q3, in order to save a new set of tyres, and he is in a good position strategically. We know how good he has been on the first lap this year, so we're looking forward to finding out what will be possible in the race. Rain is still forecast for tomorrow but the same was true of today, so we are working with a measure of uncertainty. I'll know it's raining when the top of my head gets wet..."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "Nico looked strong in Q2 when he set the second fastest time, which was about half a second quicker than his Q3 time later on. The second row of the grid, instead of the third, could have been possible today for him. Nevertheless, we should be in good shape for the race tomorrow when rain is predicted, which could mix up the field a bit. We still need to investigate what happened to Michael, as he was not happy with his car and tyre combination after looking strong during all three practice sessions. In tomorrow's final race of the season, both Nico and Michael will be aiming for a respectable result, similar to what we achieved in recent races."
Bruno Senna (9th, 1:13.761): "I'm very happy with that. It was not what I was expecting when the weekend started but it's good news. We knew the car had good potential here, but we just weren't sure the level of that potential - the R31 behaved very well today! In qualifying 2, the team put a good car together and we did a great job. It's a shame we had used tyres going into Q3 because we could have had an even better result. Having said that, being in Q3 was a victory in itself."
Vitaly Petrov (15th, 1:14.053): "I'm naturally disappointed with my position because we have been improving the car step by step throughout the weekend and we thought there was more to come from it. We changed the car set-up quite a lot to accommodate for the change in temperature between FP3 and qualifying. As for qualifying itself, I didn't actually feel I made many mistakes; I had quite a quick lap at the end of Q1 but then I lost some grip on my lap in Q2, which left me where it did."
Alan Permane, Chief Race Engineer: "We are pleased for Bruno as that was a strong qualifying performance for him during his home race weekend. He put in a couple of good laps when it mattered and he's deserving of that position. It was unfortunate for Vitaly; he didn't get his lap together when it counted, but generally we are happy with the performance of the team and are now looking forward to tomorrow's race. We altered a few things on Bruno's car, including some camber and front wing changes. The car obviously felt better for him in qualifying than it did in this morning's session. The forecast for tomorrow suggests there are likely to be some thundery showers so that will give us all something to think about and could make it an interesting race to finish off the season."
Rubens Barrichello (12th, 1:13.801): "I feel great! I'm so glad that I put in a good lap because I have lots of family here this weekend. Also for the team and for the fans, it really felt like they were pushing me on which was an amazing feeling. I have to drive 71 laps like that tomorrow but we have the best chance now so let's hope for a good one!"
Pastor Maldonado (18th, 1:14.625): "We're a bit on the back foot with P18. We didn't find the best balance on the option tyre and so didn't get a clean lap in. I will need to make up lots of ground in the race but after doing that in Abu Dhabi, I'm optimistic I can do it again here."
Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: "This morning's final practice went well and with further set-up work the general balance and pace of the car improved steadily through the session. Going into qualifying, the threat of rain increased pushing us to run earlier than we normally would have done. Rubens progressed into Q2 but unfortunately Pastor didn't get a clean lap and finished P18. Rubens had a good, clean lap on his new set of soft tyres in Q2 to finish a credible P12."
Force India-Mercedes
Adrian Sutil (8th, 1:13.299): "Another good qualifying session for me to carry on a strong weekend. I had a good feeling all afternoon and I really enjoyed the session because the balance of the car felt great. The only real issue was the fact that it was quite windy, but I was able to adjust my driving and it didn't catch me out. Eighth is a good place to start and I'm feeling confident for tomorrow - whether it's wet or dry. We just have to wait and see what the weather does, but I hope we can come away with a lot of points because I'm targeting ninth place in the drivers' championship. That would be a nice way to end the season."
Paul di Resta (11th, 1:13.584): "I knew it was going to be quite a tough session because I was suffering with a top speed delta compared to Adrian's car and we've not been able to fully understand why that's the case. It meant I was giving away some time on the straights, which is a little frustrating. On the other hand, I have to be reasonably satisfied with P11 and the fact that I only just missed out on Q3. There's rain forecast for tomorrow and we know the car has been competitive in the wet so hopefully we can capitalise on that. And if it's dry we should be strong because our pace during long runs has looked pretty good."
Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal: "I think overall we can be pleased with today's qualifying result. We were confident of getting both cars in the top ten, but Paul has been suffering with a top speed issue since this morning, which we are still investigating. Without that issue we could well have seen both cars in Q3. As for Adrian, he delivered another excellent qualifying performance, setting consistent lap times and squeezing the maximum from the car. For tomorrow we're all looking at the weather forecast because there's a high risk of rain. Whatever happens we are well placed to come away with points for both cars to hopefully secure sixth place in the championship and get Adain in the top ten of the drivers' championship."
Kamui Kobayashi (16th, 1:14.129): "Overall, the weekend here is a bit tricky for us. We worked on improving the car's balance in every practice session and it got better, but it wasn't a big enough step to find the proper grip to be able to attack. I was really fighting on every lap. It was tight to get into Q2 because already in Q1 it was difficult to warm up the tyres. However, tomorrow a lot will depend on the weather conditions and we will see what we can do."
Sergio Perez (17th, 1:14.182): "It was a disappointing qualifying with the outcome that the Toro Rosso cars, our direct competitors, are in front of us. The main problem for me was that the car was so inconsistent: every lap was different, and I couldn't get temperature into the tyres. However, we will not give up. If we get mixed weather conditions tomorrow, anything can happen."
Peter Sauber, Team Principal: "After qualifying, Toro Rosso is in front of our cars, but the race is tomorrow and we will fight hard in the race to turn this around."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "This is obviously not the result we wanted, but it looks as if this was the limit today. In the end, both our drivers were at the same level. We had a trouble-free session, but the performance just didn't allow us to finish higher up on the grid. For tomorrow there is a high chance of rain, and we will definitely be ready to make up ground in the race."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jaime Alguersuari (13th, 1:13.804): "P13 and P14 on the grid is not so bad for the team. I am pleased to be ahead of Sauber on the grid, but the points are only given out tomorrow, when we can expect a chaotic race because it is meant to rain. The key in those conditions will be not to do anything stupid, nor take too many risks, stay calm and then finish the race. The track conditions have changed a lot even from this morning to this session, but if it rains that evolution won't continue and it should be an interesting race."
Sebastien Buemi (14th, 1:13.919): "I am not happy with the result, even if I feel I did the best I could this afternoon. However, we did not have a good preparation for qualifying, as I was unable to run in the morning. Added to the fact I did not drive in FP1, because Jean-Eric was in my car on Friday morning, I've really had very few laps so far this weekend. We must learn from these mistakes to ensure we don't make them again. As for tomorrow's race, anything is possible, because I think our car is quite competitive, so I am hopeful of having a good afternoon."
Laurent Mekies, Chief Engineer: "The day did not start well for us, as Sebastien was unable to complete a single timed lap in the morning, because of an hydraulic problem. It meant that, in qualifying, he had to adapt immediately to quite a different car to the one he drove yesterday, because of the choices we made since then from a set-up point of view. He tried to get into a rhythm as quickly as possible, but with the field being so tight, everything matters and clearly he paid the price for us not having done a better job this morning. Jaime's position is a fairly accurate indication of our level of competitiveness, as he is three thousandths of a second away from twelfth place, which is where the car belongs here today. He also did a good job so far this weekend in adapting to the car, as we changed his set-up quite a few times. The threat of rain which was falling two kilometres from the track added to the sense of urgency in the session, making it quite exciting. I think we are in a decent enough position to do a good job tomorrow, when it will be up to us to make it happen."
Heikki Kovalainen (19th, 1:15.068): "That is a great way to end qualifying for the season, one of the really good laps. I've had a lot of good sessions this year but that really stands out as one of the best. Jarno has been strong here all weekend and I was just behind him after the first runs so I had to really pull out everything to beat him. We made a couple of adjustments to the tyres and it paid off with that final lap with seconds left on the clock. We've also finished here closer to the opposition than we have all season, and even though it's a shorter lap here it's still a very good sign that we've found quite a bit of time with the new rear wing and I think that will help us again tomorrow. The forecast looks like rain and that always makes it interesting around here, so I think whatever happens it'll be a good Sunday, and hopefully a great way to end the season."
Jarno Trulli (20th, 1:15.358): "I'm reasonably pleased with how it went today. The second set of tyres weren't as good as the first and even though I improved my time I still couldn't really push - I've had a pretty good weekend so far but still haven't found a balance I'm really happy with, but the main thing is we've increased the gap to the cars behind us and moved closer to the teams directly ahead."
Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "What a great way to end the last qualifying session for Team Lotus. We were within a second of cars right up to 11th place, and just over 0.4 off Williams, so to bring to an end our qualifying for 2011, having made up that amount of time, is a real achievement. People forget that we do not have KERS this year. If we had KERS, as we do next season, would clearly be fighting in the midfield, so I am very happy with how far we have come in such a short amount of time. Our next qualifying session will be as Caterham F1 Team and that is a whole new chapter for us, something we are all very excited about and if we can maintain the progress we have shown in our first two years we will be right on course to achieve our long-term goals."
Mike Gascoyne, Technical Director: "That was a strong end to qualifying for this season. This morning we were having some issues getting the pace out of the soft tyres but this afternoon we turned that around and Heikki in particular got everything he could out of the car. Jarno was a little less happy with the balance but for me this is a good way to finish qualifying this year. Throughout the second half of the season we have moved closer to the group in front and that was particularly evident today, so the aim for tomorrow is clear - have a strong race and give ourselves a successful last race of 2011."
Thierry Salvi, Renault: "The challenge for us here has been to help maximise the potential of the new rear wing and DRS system on the cars. The update is a big step forward for the team and it means we have had to work on the ratios and find the right balance between the settings we use for qualifying and the race. That is what the top teams ahead have had to do all year and for us that is the first time we really had to work in that area this season, so it has been a good challenge, and a sign of how far the team has come. It looks like it has worked out because the feedback from the drivers has been positive and the result today is what we were hoping for, so this goes down as a good result for the whole team."
Vitantonio Liuzzi (21st, 1:16.631): "The car was a lot better than yesterday, especially the balance. That was a good way to finish the season, in terms of qualifying, ahead of the Virgins. It's also a good result for me after all the problems we had in Abu Dhabi, so it's a great feeling to be back in business with a car that is working a hundred per cent allowing us to fight with the others. We showed that when things are working we can perform and that's what we're here to do. It could be a crazy race tomorrow as there is a chance of rain so we'll look forward to that."
Daniel Ricciardo (22nd, 1:16.890): "In the morning we improved the overall setup and the qualifying session started quite well. With the first set of tyres and I was pretty happy with the balance. I thought we could really improve with the second set and made some changes to help try and achieve this but for whatever reason it didn't happen. We're in front of the Virgins which is good but I didn't improve on the second set of tyres which is frustrating because we could've achieved an even better result. Now we have to look ahead, think of tomorrow's race and try to do a better job."
Colin Kolles, Team Principal: "Both drivers did a very good job today in qualifying. It has been our best qualifying session this season. I think we could have done even better if the cars would have been released in the right time frame in order to avoid traffic and to give the drivers the maximum laps. We are ahead of both Virgins and closer than ever to Lotus which is very positive and this reflects the improved performance of the car in the last races. It seems that the chances of rain for tomorrow's race are quite high so we have to be ready for that too and try to finish the season on a good note."
Jerome d'Ambrosio (23rd, 1:17.019): "It wasn't a bad qualifying but honestly it wasn't the best one either. I had a better feeling with the car this morning - I lost performance between this morning and qualifying. We need to have a look and see what is happening. I lost a bit of time in sector two on my best lap. As I say, it wasn't perfect but it's not bad and we'll push hard tomorrow to try and fight with the HRTs. If it rains tomorrow, the most important thing will be to stay on track as anything can happen in Brazil when it's wet."
Timo Glock (24th, 1:17.060): "A bit of a disappointing Saturday I would say. The car was bad to drive this morning - suddenly from one run to another it had no stability any more. So it was difficult to go into qualifying with confidence, even though in the first run the car felt okay. I got a safe lap in then I tried to push on the second set of tyres. I had a very good first three corners but then one of the Toro Rosso's came out of the pits right in front of me and just stayed there during his out lap, so I couldn't go quicker and lost some time. It's a shame as I had to cool the tyres down before doing another lap, but the tyres are never as good as they are in the first lap, at least for me this weekend. So we have to start last, which is very disappointing, but we have to see what we can do tomorrow. Maybe the weather helps us a bit but in general it's a shame."
John Booth, Team Principal: "A disappointing afternoon for the team and not what we hoped for going into this weekend. Timo had struggled with the balance of his car this morning and so needed to do some significant changes for qualifying, which is far from desirable although his balance did improve as a result. Unfortunately Timo's second run was disturbed by Buemi on what would have been his quickest lap and this was unfortunate. Jerome had a good morning and he was very pleased with his lap in FP3, which even before correcting for fuel was much better than his lap in Q1 which was plagued by oversteer. At some points today the weather did look like it would play a part in the proceedings, however this was not the case. Looking to tomorrow again, the threat of rain is there and we will be looking to gain back the places on the grid to finish the season as strongly as we can."

If you have power factor correction capacitors, should you skip insulation power factor testing on your transformers? The answer is "no." Those PF capacitors have no bearing on the question. This is a test of the transformer insulation.
When you subject a perfect insulator to an AC voltage stress, it doesn't pass resistive current. But insulators deteriorate over time. As the insulation integrity decreases, the resistive component of the current increases — and so does the power factor.
Insulation power factor is the ratio of the resistive current component to the total leakage current under an applied voltage stress. In addition to the resistive component, there's also a capacitive component.
If you don't normally have this test done, ensure it's performed if the transformer has survived a major power event.

Re: Arizona Pastafarian group
Hmm. I don't think there are any, except that we'd prefer that you really study up on what pastafarians do and don't believe before you start a church in the name of the FSM. I'd really rather no one ruins our good name by going overboard or being intolerant of other religions.
Pretty much just follow the 8 I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts and you'll be good:

What Happens at a Tellington TTouch® Training?
At a training you can learn about the Tellington Training approach that encourages optimal performance and health and presents solutions to common behavioral and physical problems. Horses demonstrate marked improvement in athletic skills and increased willingness and ability to perform. Not only does the horse benefit, but also a deeper rapport grows between horse and rider because of increased understanding and more effective communication.
[Note! Click images to see a larger view.]
The Tellington Method includes three phases: learning exercises done in-hand through the Playground for Higher Learning (Lernparcours), Tellington TTouch and the riding techniques.
Some of the topics covered will include:
- How to improve performance - Ground exercises to help improve balance, self control and focus
- How to apply TTEAM first aid techniques while waiting for the veterinarian
- How to use the Tellington equipment like the Balance Rein, Neckring and Bodywrap
- Ways to speed healing and recovery from injury or illness
- Why issues such as nervousness, laziness, trailering problems, attitude difficulties and stiffness occur and how to solve them in a safe and positive way

Fast and effective information transfer is a cornerstone of a knowledge based
economy. Future broadband wireless networks will utilize millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs) that process radio frequency (RF) information signals with wavelengths of just a few millimetres. These circuits will operate at tens of gigahertz, or over ten times the clock speed of the latest Pentium microprocessor. The need for RF circuitry operating at ever increasing frequencies is twofold. On the one hand, lower frequency bands are congested by the continually increasing number of subscribers for mobile and wireless communications networks. Also, data transfer speeds must increase in order to support faster computing technology (e.g., the next generations of PCÆs) and broadband internet services. MMICs reduce the need for external components to an absolute minimum, which reduces costs and makes them easier to manufacture in large quantities with improved reliability. At present, most MMICs are fabricated using gallium arsenide (GaAs) or indium phosphide (InP) materials, which are 3 to 5 times more expensive than silicon. From the economic and strategic points of view, integration of millimeter-wave circuits on silicon can further reduce costs because the radio or RF circuitry can then (potentially) be combined with computing circuits on the same silicon chip.
This paves the way for new applications incorporating wireless and computing technologies in products affordable to the average consumer. Integration of MMICs in silicon is becoming feasible as transistor dimensions continue to shrink with each new technology generation. This provides faster circuits with increased data processing capabilities. Within the next 5 years, silicon transistors will be capable of operation beyond 200GHz, bringing high-speed and highperformance RF circuits within reach.
Rapid implementation of MMICs in silicon technology is hindered by two problems. Firstly, the short wavelengths (just a few millimetres) are close to the length of a wire on a silicon chip, which changes the behaviour of the signals being processed considerably. Therefore, to predict the impact of these changes with computer-aided design tools (CAD), new computer models are
required to model on-chip interconnect and components, such as inductors and transformers constructed from on-chip wire connections. Secondly, signal attenuation is considerable on semiconducting substrates like silicon. However, new technologies for on-chip interconnect, such as the slow-wave magnetic components that have been developed by members of this research group, do not suffer this impairment. This technology also allows RF electronics to operate below 1 Volt with reduced current and power consumption and improved sensitivity and fidelity. These benefits are more compelling at millimetre-wave frequencies, because the size of each passive element on-chip can be reduced in proportion to the shrinking wavelength so that it consumes less chip area.
Scalable CAD models of passive slow-wave components will be developed as part of this project. However, the overall goal of the proposed research is to develop and demonstrate silicon ICs that both operate effectively at millimetre-wave frequencies and exploit the emerging silicon technologies with transistor bandwidths in excess of 100 GHz.
The proposed applications contexts are: a broadband distributed amplifier (50 GHz bandwidth) to drive lasers in the next generation of multi-gigabit/second glass fibre communication systems, and key elements of a 77 GHz radar transceiver. The transceiver combines transmitter and receiver on-chip, and is intended for automotive collision avoidance radar applications. The production volume for these radars are in the millions per year, as multiple units are built into every new automobile. The cost/volume benefits of silicon IC technology can enable this to happen if adequate performance is realized through our efforts. Dutch industry will benefit from application of integrated high-performance RF and digital circuitry on the same silicon substrate as it opens up valuable new consumer markets in the communication and transportation sectors.
The demand for broadband information from the internet via wired and wireless
networks is fuelled by the exponential growth in processing speed and data storage capabilities of computer hardware. It requires on-going improvements in network bandwidth and radio frequency allocations. As a result, new frequency allocations in the 2-11 GHz and 10- 66 GHz range are now being made to support future wireless network growth, and 40Gb/s optical fibre networks are in the development phase. The results of this project supports these two important areas by providing models and key components needed to implement broadband and narrowband integrated circuits on a silicon chip operating between 10 and 77 GHz. This effort removes the main obstacle to utilisation of silicon as a millimetre-wave technology, by making new slow-wave passive components and models for computer-aided design widely available. It will also provide an integration path for these models into current CAD systems for chip designers. When linked into these tools, design of a wide variety of silicon microwave ICs should be possible, and we will prove this with our two demonstration circuits.
Integration of our designs and models with standard tools provides a path for other users to access and design microwave circuits that are less expensive, more reliable and smaller, and it also makes them potential consumer items. For the end-user, this makes existing products cheaper and opens the door to exciting new applications such as collision avoidance radar for automobiles
Handbags resistant for Shoulder Blue Purses Navy Women Bags amp;Girls Messenger Water Nylon Lightweight and Fashion Crossbody Bag 7TqCxPwH4and Gbit/s data rate wireless LANs. It also supports the position of the Dutch semiconductor industry in a huge global market that is increasingly dependent on broadband communications technology. This research project has a very high potential for industrial takeup in new and existing applications, as it builds on silicon technologies and commercial CAD tools that are widely available.

Robert L. Schneider, Lori Lester, and Julia Ochieng
Social work advocacy is "the exclusive and mutual representation of a client(s) or a cause in a forum, attempting to systematically influence decision-making in an unjust or unresponsive system(s)." Advocacy was identified as a professional role as far back as 1887, and social workers consider client advocacy an ethical responsibility. Social workers are increasing the use of electronic advocacy to influence client issues and policy development. As client and societal needs evolve, universities should emphasize advocacy in their curricula, and the National Association of Social Workers should promote electoral and legislative initiatives that reflect an emphasis on social and economic injustices.
Larry W. Foster
Bioethics and biomedical ethics are defined. Common bioethical concepts, exemplary moral values, fundamental ethical principles, general ethical theories, and approaches to moral reasoning are reviewed. The scope of topics and issues, the nature of practice situations in bioethics, and social work roles on organizational bodies that monitor and respond to bioethical issues are summarized, as are trends in bioethics. Practice contexts, from beginning to end of life, are highlighted with biopsychosocial facts, ethical questions and issues, and implications for social work—a profession uniquely positioned in giving bioethics a social context.
Civil Rights
William L. Pollard
Civil rights are rooted in the English laws that tried to protect citizens from abuses by the state. As the United States matured as a democracy, so did its citizens. Since World War II, there has been a virtual explosion in the awareness of citizens to the diverse needs and rights of individuals that require protection. Citizen awareness and actions have truly moved the civil rights struggle beyond a focus on color. Greater attention is being paid to fundamental protection and expanded understanding of human rights and responsibilities.
Civil Society
Kristin M. Ferguson
Considerable definitional vagueness exists regarding civil society, in part due to the concept's long history and multiple underlying schools of thought. Issues of multiculturalism and social justice are central to the term. Civil society is also a global concept, referring to the supranational sphere. The social work profession can benefit from collaborative action with local civil society associations in working to dismantle structural inequality and enhance opportunities for disadvantaged populations.
Consumer Rights
Donald M. Linhorst
Consumers of health and mental health services are afforded numerous legal rights. Broad categories of rights include self-determination, access to health information, protections for mental health consumers who are hospitalized, and a right to community integration. Two areas of consumer rights are emerging: a greater emphasis on human rights, and the right of consumers to participate in developing and implementing programs and services within the organizations from which they receive services. Various means for enforcing rights exist in both the private and the public sectors. Social workers play critical roles in ensuring that consumer rights become a reality.
Ecological Social Work
Uschi Bay
Ecological social work requires a shift in thinking for social workers because it does not place humans at the center of its concerns. Rather ecological social work puts the interrelationship between humans and nature at its center. This radically de-centered view of humanity aims to bring consideration of the planet and all of its environmental systems into decision making to ensure the sustainability of natural resources for the long term. Ecological principles can guide social work practice, research, and education in ways that promote a transition to sustainable practices in every sphere of life. Widespread ecological consciousness is advocated as an important focus for change by some social work authors promoting this approach. A global consciousness is understood to enable humanity's capacity to deal with the growing concerns about the survival of planet earth as a suitable habitat for humans, animals, and plants. Humanity's activities are understood to contribute to the ongoing degradation of fresh water, fertile soils, and pollution of the atmosphere. Drastic changes in the way humans behave and relate to the earth are considered necessary at the global, national, and local levels. Social workers are thus called on to engage with others in taking on significant roles in many areas of practice to facilitate these crucial societal transformations.
Human Rights
Joseph M. Wronka
At the heart of social work, human rights are a set of guiding principles that are interdependent and have implications for macro, mezzo, and micro policy and practice. They can be best understood vis-à-vis the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, increasingly referred to as customary international law; the covenants and declarations following it, such as the conventions on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), and Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW); and reporting procedures, such as the filing of country reports on compliance. Briefly, this powerful idea, which emerged from the ashes of World War II, emphasizes human dignity; non-discrimination; civil and political rights; economic, social, and cultural rights; and rights to solidarity. Only chosen values endure. The challenge is the creation of a human rights culture, which is a "lived awareness" of these principles in one's mind, heart, and body. Doing so will require vision, courage hope, humility and everlasting love, as the spiritual sage Crazy Horse reminds us.
International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW)
Nigel Hall
The International Federation of Social Workers is an international organization representing the interests of social workers around the world. This organization works in cooperation with global regional social work bodies, national organizations, and other associations to organize international events, publish policy statements, encourage cooperative initiatives, and link to other international bodies. It is active in human rights and social development and in the promotion of best practices and high professional social work standards.

The law is a powerful force in all aspects of contemporary American society. The legal system furnishes the context and procedures for the creation and enforcement of laws to resolve disputes, protect rights, and generally to maintain order. Social workers are expected to understand the basic workings of the legal system. Knowledge of the legal system provides the foundation to support social workers to undertake social justice initiatives, to give voice to vulnerable client populations, and to work for legal rules that support good social work practice.
National Association of Social Workers
Elizabeth J. Clark
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is the largest membership association of professional social workers in the world with nearly 145,000 members. Formed in 1955 by uniting seven predecessor organizations, NASW has a dual mission of protecting and advancing the profession of social work and of advocating for social justice issues. The NASW national office is based in Washington, DC, with chapters in each state, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. There are also separate chapters in New York City and metropolitan Washington, DC, as well as an international chapter for U.S. social workers living abroad.

First up would definitely be these pro-biotic drinks from Kevita. Kevita was one of the event sponsors and all weekend long they were offering little tasters of their different flavors. For whatever reason, I was skeptical at first. At some point, I was just plain thirsty, so I decided to give it a go - and lo and behold! - I loved it!
From then on, I kept sneaking back over to try out samples whenever she would put out a new flavor. Hee hee. Of the ones I tried, these were two of my favorite flavors: Mojita Lime Mint Coconut and Lemon Ginger. I think my most favorite flavor is Mango Coconut - every time I buy one, I drink it before I can take a picture of it.
I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find Kevita back home, but there it was in my favorite funky little natural foods store waiting for me. They keep it in the refridgerated raw foods sections.
The drinks are called "Sparkling"... but I think they are very lightly sparkly. Nonetheless, they are definitely refreshing. The amount of flavor is just right for my tastes too. Not cloyingly sweet or overpowering, but also not pretentiously subtle. Just right! Plus, they're full of probiotics and really low on calories. Lucky me, I even found them on sale when I got back home to Santa Cruz, so I've got a few in my fridge right now!

Description:HP Proliant DL360 1GHz 128MB Memory Ram UpgradePart Number(s)
Hewlett-Packard Part# 210640-001
Overview:As businesses of all sizes race to move everything to the Internet some quickly turn to the new community of global service providers. This burgeoning group includes Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Application Service Providers (ASPs) as well as Hosting and Total Service Providers (TSPs). These Service Providers face many challenges to provide fast reliable service to their growing number of customers because scaling their offerings often means deploying additional servers in the same amount of space. Likewise corporate data centers and remote sites are also becoming increasingly space constrained. In response Compaq the largest integrator of Windows NT-based ISP solutions expands its line of industry-leading dense servers with the ultra-dense ProLiant DL360.

The boxes of spring toys and books have started to arrive in full force. At the end of a very long day, I opened the last big box and had a wonderful laugh. Inside was a HUGE piece of sushi. This stuffed piece of sushi is really an ottoman. It also came with a doll and a side of salmon roe.
I've been reviewing toys for a long time- I'm rarely surprised anymore–but I have to say a toy that includes a salmon roe accessory, got me.
You have to wonder what was the a-ha moment here for Atlanta-based stylist, Mimi Tin, founder of sushistyle.com. A graphic designer clearly not afraid to push the envelope, Ms. Tin has created this collection that is inspired by the Pop Art Movement.
While at first, I was just shocked really–I have to say that the ottomans are very well-made. The dolls will most likely appeal to the tween/teen market. And the addition of the roe is just so fun, it's perfect.
Does anyone need a HUGE piece of sushi furniture…probably not, but they are extremely witty. The dolls retail for $29.95, the ottomans (Cucumber Pouf with Salmon Roe) or the Cali Pouf retail for $79.95 each at sushistyle.com.

Outnumbered, outweighed, and outplayed, the East Hampton High School football team took a drubbing in its home opener Saturday, losing 42-7 to Kings Park, which in turn had been routed the week before by Islip.
And "drubbing" is not overstating the case: Three Bonackers went down that day, Ryan Joudeh, a running back, by way of a sprained ankle, and two — Dan Barros, arguably the team's best defender, and Cortland Heneveld, its sophomore quarterback — by way of concussions.
Barros lay motionless on the field for about 20 minutes in the first quarter as everyone — both teams having taken a knee at the sidelines — waited for the arrival of an ambulance.
"All of a sudden, winning and losing doesn't mean anything anymore," Bob Budd, a volunteer assistant, said when, finally, an East Hampton ambulance took the hard-playing junior linebacker away.
Heneveld, who was hit hard throughout the game, was decked decisively early in the fourth period, and, though he was able to walk off after some time on the ground, remained dazed and was driven off the field by the trainer, Randi Cherill.
Later that day, Cherill said during a brief telephone conversation that she'd heard from one of Barros's parents that he was "okay," and on Monday Joe Vas, East Hampton's athletic director, after confirming that both players had experienced concussions, said they were "okay." They would not be allowed to practice or play again, he said, "until a doctor certifies that they can do so."
The injuries — it was the first time in this writer's memory that two Bonackers were rendered hors de combat in such a way in a game — served to underline the fact that East Hampton, whose squad has been reduced to around 23 players, a half-dozen of whom are said to be new to the game, was overmatched, at least on that day.
Afterward, Bill Barbour Jr., the head coach, told his charges that he was proud of the way they'd played, despite the odds, and that the way they'd stepped up would prove helpful in meeting challenges off the field in their future lives.
Kings Park scored right off the bat, recovering a fumble by Heneveld on East Hampton's first possession at the 20-yard line, and added another touchdown and two extra points before the first quarter ended.
Barros went down moments after Kings Park's second score, as Drew Griffiths, who played well on both sides of the ball, was running back the kickoff.
Griffiths recovered a Kings Park fumble at East Hampton's 37 early in the second period, but soon after that Heneveld fumbled himself, at Kings Park's 45, with Luke Toscano, who had scored the visitors' first touchdown, recovering. Seven plays later, the Kingsmen were in East Hampton's end zone again, an 11-yard scamper by Tommy Milich, who was to score twice more that afternoon, capping the drive.
But then, wonderful to tell, an East Hampton moment arrived as Pete Vaziri gathered in the subsequent kickoff at the 5 and, with Barbour urging him to head for the middle of the field, ran it back all the way. Jhovani Hernandez's point-after kick was good, and, all of a sudden, with the score 21-7, the spirits of the hometown fans brightened.
Momentarily, that is. Two more touchdowns by Milich were to come, as was one on the return of a Hernandez kickoff that began the second half.
The fourth quarter was scoreless, though it was notable for the fact that Vaziri was pressed into action as the quarterback after Heneveld was taken to the sidelines.
Though the visitors had substituted liberally by then, Vaziri directed in the final moments an 84-yard, 11-play drive that ended as Griffiths, who'd gathered in a pass, was hauled down at the Kings Park 8.
"What a job Vaziri did," Bill Barbour Sr. said after the teams had shaken hands.
"You get these lean years, and this is one," his son said. "But we've got a good core of about 10 kids who are showing up for practice and having fun. They worked hard all summer. I hear Southampton is facing the same problem. We've had a lot of injuries, guys were playing out of position, but they stepped up. I told them I was very proud of them."
The 0-2 Bonackers are to take the field at 7 p.m. Saturday in a homecoming game with 1-1 Eastport-South Manor.

Driven by her passion for food, animals and the environment and disillusioned by the ingredients and production methods of commercial pet foods, Lucy Postins, founder of The Honest Kitchen, worked tirelessly in her own kitchen to develop quality food for her puppy, Mosi, that would also support a local and sustainable food system. Eight years later, The Honest Kitchen now distributes their products on a national level and even ships overseas. Somehow, between juggling a company, family, philanthropy program and horseback riding, Lucy found the time to share how she channeled her love for both animals and humanity to create a burgeoning green business.
Q. What was your inspiration for The Honest Kitchen?
I started off working for another pet food company in southern California, called Solid Gold Health Products, and I worked for them for about four or five years. Originally I was in their equine division and then in their canine and feline products as a nutritionist and doing some product development. When I got my first puppy, I became interested in doing a raw food diet for him, which is not something that Solid Gold is a proponent of, so I started doing my own home prepared meals for Mosi. I was doing different concoctions in my kitchen and found that he was doing really well on it, but it's very time consuming to prepare and kind of messy, ending up with a kitchen covered in broccoli and blood and all sorts of things.
So the inspiration behind the brand and product itself really came from wanting to do something that resembled a fresh, whole raw food diet that was much easier to prepare and that cut time. That's the essence of it, starting off with one recipe and it all began in my house and it sort of snowballed from there.
Q. What was it like getting the Honest Kitchen off the ground?
I worked for about 10 months on the recipe, trying out different recipe combinations with my dog and seeing what he did or didn't approve of. That was a pretty long process, and then finding a production facility took a long time. I had it in my head from the very beginning that we would have to make the foods in a human food facility to set them apart from the rest of the pet food industry, which I was somewhat disillusioned with in terms of a lot of the horrible things that end up in poorer quality foods. So I found a place that makes breakfasts cereals and bakery mixes to make the food for me.
We actually became incorporated -- I think -- about 10 months after the products were developed. We set up a website, which took a little while to build out. We set up a PayPal account as the payment method and actually, once we got the site up and running, I logged out and placed a pretend order and then logged into the back end of PayPal to make sure everything was going through and a customer in Virginia had beaten me to the first order. I always remember that day and it really has set the tone for how the company has grown and ballooned over the years. We have about 17 employees now and it's nationwide with some overseas distribution and eight lines of food.
Q. What is the farm-to-bowl program? Where do you get the food that you use?
Basically, we want to be very transparent in terms of the sourcing of our raw ingredients, so we really like to have strong connections with our suppliers. We like to know who we're buying from; we don't just purchase our raw ingredients from commodity markets or on spec. We work closely with out suppliers, some of whom we have been working with for eight years, since we began.
We take a lot of pride in knowing who we're working with, what our ingredients are and where they coming from. We've met some of the farmers who grow our food and our volumes are high enough now that we know that fields of stuff like celery are actually being planted exclusively for The Honest Kitchen.
It's really nice for us to have that connection with the food. We have a high level of respect for the earth and for the land where are products are grown and where they start off. The flip side to that of course is that everything has to remain human grade and human edible from the farm all the way to the dogs bowl, right through the harvesting and dehydration, the whole production process and packing, everything remains fit for a human to consume.
Q. What's the Pawlanthropy program?
We started that a few years ago; it's basically just an arm of our company that's responsible for our charitable giving. We choose a different main charity each month and donate a portion of the profit from our online sales to that charity. So it could be as local as a small pit-bull rescue right here in San Diego to a larger organization like Doctors Without Borders or the World Wildlife Fund or Heifer International, organizations of that scale. We try to rotate doing local things and also making sure there is a rotation between animal welfare, environmental and humanitarian causes. We also do quite a bit to participate in other non-profit events locally and nationwide. We have stores that work closely with rescue organizations in their neighborhoods so we try and provide food and sometimes monetary donations for those as well.
Q. What was your relationship with animals growing up? When did you realize you wanted to work with animals and nutrition?
I grew up in England, and we always had pets when I was growing up. I definitely had a rural upbringing—we didn't even have a shop in our village. It was a mile or two walk to the shop or anything like that. We grew our own fruits and vegetables and had animals growing up. I began riding horses at the age of four, I still love to be around horses, and I have a few horses of my own now.
I think that my childhood being fairly rural provided a strong connection to nature and the environment and what's going on around rather than the distractions of an urban upbringing. I went to agricultural college as a teenager to have a bachelor's degree in equine and business studies. So I had four years of very close study of horses and also the business environment, marketing and finance and things, but on the horse side being surrounded by horses for four years through college was really a great time of my life.
And really, I have never had a time where I haven't been with animals in some capacity. The horses I have now I bought at a facility about 15 minutes from work. I have a rescued racehorse from off the track in Texas, I got him as a four year old and he'll be nine in April. We have a very old Morgan pony that I actually adopted as a companion for my horse but my six year old daughter rides him. I also have two dogs, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, a five year old female named Willow and a one year old male named Taro. They definitely keep me busy.
We all bring our dogs to work, so we have about 10 dogs in the office every day. When we were looking for a building for the office, one that allowed us to have animals was a top priority. They have responsibilities—they're involved in all the taste testing and things like that.
Q. What do you like to do in your spare time?
Well I don't have much of it, but I hike with my dogs every morning before work. I ride my horse one morning a week before work and once or twice a weekend. I do Pilates and yoga, I love to cook—I cook almost every night. I think it's sort of a European thing that we have food as sort of an anchoring thing for our family. Sitting down and having meals together is definitely something we put a lot of importance around. It's sad to see some families in the world today that just grab a sandwich in the back of the minivan as they're being shuttled to soccer to music to baseball, one thing to the next.
We really just try to get back to basics and there's a slow European approach to food and the whole thing of cooking and having a kitchen be the center of the home is something that important for us as a family and it's definitely the center of our office as well. We have a big kitchen and an all bring loft and our office is downtown San Diego and our kitchen is where we gather for meetings and taste tests and such. It's really the heart of our office.
Being in San Diego, everyone has access to farmers' markets and CSAs. We also have a rule internally at The Honest Kitchen to never use any genetically modified produce. We are actually in the process of joining the Non-GMO Project to really have that certification and insurance on top of the pledges from all of our suppliers in terms of where our food is grown and what's done and what's going into it, and making sure it's not genetically modified.
Q. What's next for The Honest Kitchen?
We have a couple of new diets planned for next year. We have a grain-free diet with beef, and then a grain-free cat food which will probably be produced with either turkey or duck—we're just working on the recipes for those right now. We're working on two more nutritional medicinal teas, one is for urinary tract health and the other is a calming formula. So those will be launched later on in the spring.
We always focus on making products that have an actual meaning behind them, not just doing gimmicky things for the sake of it. We love to involve our customers in the process too. When figuring out the veal, which is our latest recipe that we came up with a couple of months ago, we really involved our Facebook fans in the decision making in terms of ingredients they really did or didn't want. Of course you can't please everybody but being able to go with what the majority wants is great.
Facebookhas been great for us. We can see photos of our customers' dogs and our fans can really see what goes on behind the scenes at The Honest Kitchen.

I would rather have updateable TVPs with statistics - that would solve all my problems in one consistent way.
Having many similar things that solve essentially one and the same problem does not make much sense to me; it just increases complexity...
Good idea. I need to maintain compatibility with SQL 2005 still for the moment so we haven't used table parameters (although I plan to drop support shortly after SQL 2012 ships - 3 versions back for an ISV is reasonable in my opinion and SSRS 2008 is soooo much better!)
Anyway, could table parameters help here? I don't know how well they perform (similar pros/cons to table variables perhaps?)
We've used the #temptable trick a couple of times in some stored procs but try to avoid it. The other way of getting around it is to have a permanent scratch table with a composite key - one of the key's columns being some sort of session/batch identifier.
Good idea but still doesn't provide enough information for syntax analysis.
How about:-
DEPENDS_ON SomeProcName(SomeTableName)
The tooling could then easily find the dependency declared in the contract.
Neale NOON
I cannot agree more. I do not like table variables because of lacking statistics or non unique indexes etc but I double wish they will create a special type (not temp table and not table variable) for this purpose this way whenever that type is created (ugly but maybe #@table ???) you know that's the only one which can be passed into a procedure (just threw it out there, just like to see declarations more clear than it is today).
I thought about a table type (in my dream months ago), since we have to do a lot of parallel staging loading into generated table names and then run some processes against to these tables, cannot do it without dynamic sql, therefore I thought about having a table type you create your table as, you an only change the name and maybe add remove indexes to it, this way you can pass the new table name into the procedure and the procedure processes, very similar to the table type except it's actual table, it's only there to verify column structure within a table and guaranteeing the schema (not guaranteeing indexes, keys etc therefore recompile must be maybe mandatory)
Again could not agree more and cannot keep adding more to it
Hi Neale,
I like the idea of showing where it's defined but I've also seen situations where people have multiple parent procs that can call the same child proc. Not sure that you could limit it to one.
I would like to see temporary (#-named) tables and procedures go away completely; they are just a backward-compatibility headache with weird semantics.
The replacements would be: a full implementation of table variables (starting on the lines Alex suggests); and something similar to the module-level table expressions Erland promotes as a superset of temporary views and functions. http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/343067
That's not the SQL Server we've all come to know and love ;-)
I assumed the scenario where the child procs were actually dependent, but you seem to indicate utility child procs that could reference any suitable temp table (variable names but fixed schemas).
What you really need is a stored procedure parameter that represents a table pointer (and possibly an expected schema) that resolves to the actual temp table at runtime. This would represent a real chore for the tooling:-(
Hi Greg,
Although your suggestion is a good one I've decided that its not one that I can vote on because, IMO, it would only encourage something which I see as a bad coding practise. That is, use of temp tables that are instantiated in other stored procs.
Like Alexander I would much rather the product team channel their energies into updateable TVPs rather than supporting antiquated development practises.
P.S. I'll add this comment to the Connect submission!
Hi Jamie,
I agree that I wish the existing syntax was never supported in the first place and that better options existed that looked more like real parameters and supported proper encapsulation. However, I can't see the way it works changing in the near future as it would break just way too much code. In that case, I think we need to find a better way to support it in the meantime.
Digressing slightly, I've discovered a situation where I've found temporary procedures to actually be quite useful. That is, encapsulation of code that is to be used in scripts that are called using sqlcmd's :r syntax.
I need to blog it at some point - its on the blog backlog. :)
P.S. I can't comprehand why people (3 at the time of writing) are willing to take the time to leave a comment here agreeing with Greg's idea but can't be bothered to click through to his Connect submission to vote it up (at the time of writing it only has one vote and that will be Greg's).
Why are people so averse to using Connect? Its a problem.
I can't say I'm familiar with :r or how it might be used with temporary procedures, so I will look out for your post on that. I should try not to prejudge, but I can't help thinking that whatever use you have found for this could be done just as well, or perhaps better, with something more satisfactory than a temporary procedure (though these generally irk me much less than other types of #temp object). Hmm, looks like I am prejudging a bit after all. Ah well.
As far as Connect is concerned, as I remarked to you on Twitter, using Connect is often just a horrible experience, so I guess it's really no great wonder that it is not all it could be from a community feedback and participation perspective.
I clicked on that Connect link, clicked on login, and it froze for a long time. After a minute or so I stopped waiting. Eventually, I got back to it a few minutes later, only to discover that, unlike stackoverflow, I cannot login with gmail.
A small stackoverflow team with a presumably limited and small budget raised the bar considerably for everyone else.
If Connect team want us to visit their site rather than stackoverflow, they need to improve their site.
Agree with the opinion that this encourages poor design.
I guess this would be a nice to have, but not a big enough problem to be really necessary.
I have always found that keeping temporary objects as physical objects in a separate schema (and possibly a separate database) makes developing and debugging much easier. And when production issues arise you can debug through the temporary schema and see the trail of data that existed when the error was generated. Something you cant do if you utilize temporary tables to the extent that seems required to ask for a feature like this.
I use this technique in a number of places where I have utility-type procedures that can be used by themselves or to feed other procedures. For example, ProcA calls ProcB to gather a set of data and do further manipulation. ProcA creates the temporary table and ProcB populates it. ProcB checks for the existence of the temporary table and creates it if it does not already exist. PrcoB is called by ProcA and by other processes that that need the same data but don't need the further processing that ProcA does.
The downside is that when the definition of the temp table changes, all locations must be syncronized. I have not found a method to save the table definition in a common place and use it. One possible way to accomplish that is to create an empty permanent table with the correct definition and then execute SELECT * INTO #Temp FROM Permanent WHERE 1=2", but that method leaves empty tables scattered around the database. Creating dynamic SQL to create a table does not work because the executed SQL is in a different scope.
In OO languages, we have the ability to define a class and then instantiate it wherever it is needed. Having that abillity in T-SQL would be helpful. Having a "library" of reusable structures in the programming space, not just on the data storage level, would allow us to reuse those structures. Essentially what I am suggesting is the ability to create a user-defined data type that is a table structure rather than a base data type.
CREATE TYPE BirthdayList (ID INT, Name VARCHAR(50), BirthDate DATE)
Then the type could be used where needed. If a procedure needed that definition for a local variable, it would be declared:
DECLARE @SendCardsTo BirthDayList
We could also use that as a procedure parameter:
CREATE PROC ProcB @ParamA BirthdayList = NULL
Using the above definition, if the parameter was passed, the table/variable would have the data supplied by the caller. If the parameter was not passed, the table/variable would contain no rows. Using the first example, ProcA would declare the @SendCardsTo variable and then: EXEC ProcB @ParamA = @SendCardsTo

Product DetailsInspired by Pink Floyd's album of the same name, Pink Floyd: The Wall is a dark, expressionistic musical, told from the point of view of Pink, a depressed rock musician. The film is structured around Pink's reflections on his life, all of which center on the building of "the wall." This wall is a metaphor for psychological isolation, a barrier Pink creates to distance himself from his pain. The foundations for this wall are lain in childhood, with the death of Pink's father leaving him to be raised by an overprotective mother and a repressive school system. He seeks freedom from this world through writing and music. However, even after he achieves success as a rock star, the wall continues to grow, with Pink feeling trapped by fame and wounded by his failed personal relationships. Lost in despair and self-loathing, he attempts to isolate himself from the world entirely. Director Alan Parker approaches this material in a highly stylized manner, mingling animation and dream-like sequences to suggest Pink's perception of the world. These techniques complement the almost constant music, which the film often uses in place of dialogue. Songs include "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Comfortably Numb".
