Gender Diversity in the Boardroom and Firm Performance: What Exactly Constitutes a 'Critical Mass'?Jasmin JoecksUniversity of Tuebingen - School of Business and Economics Kerstin PullUniversity of Tuebingen - School of Business and Economics Karin VetterUniversity of Tuebingen February 22, 2012 Abstract: The under-representation of women on boards is a heavily discussed topic – not only in Germany. Based on critical mass theory and with the help of a hand-collected panel data set of 151 listed German firms for the years 2000-2005, we explore whether the link between gender diversity and firm performance follows a U-shape. Controlling for reversed causality, we find evidence for gender diversity to at first negatively affect firm performance and – only after a "critical mass" of about 30 percent women has been reached – to be associated with higher firm performance than completely male boards. Given our sample firms, the critical mass of 30 percent women translates into an absolute number of about three women on the board and hence supports recent studies on a corresponding "magic number" of women in the boardroom.

Louis Delmas (S)
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 202
Western Michigan
Hometown: North Miami Beach, FL
High School: North Miami Beach
One of the keys to the Broncos' offensive success in 2008 actually came from a player on the other side of the field - Louis Delmas. The emotionally charged pass defender's ability to roam the field and keep plays in front of him saw him lead the team with 111 tackles in 2008, his first injury free season since his freshman campaign.
Delmas only knows how to play the game - on sheer energy and at high speed, leading to some tremendously violent collisions on the football field. His hard-hitting style of play has drawn comparisons to former New England great Rodney Harrison.
"Just watching him practice and the speed in which he practices, I mean we've got to tone him down. The other day, I actually had to get him off the field. I said, 'You're too wrapped up.'" WMU coach Bill Cubit said about Delmas.
A starter in all but one game that he suited up for in a Broncos uniform, Delmas began his career as a left cornerback before moving inside to free safety as a sophomore. He became just the 14th player in school history to register 300 or more tackles in a career, finishing tied for eighth on that record list with 310 hits. In addition to his stellar performances on defense, he also appeared on special teams and saw brief action as a receiver in the 2008 Texas Bowl.
Playing a variety of roles is nothing new for Delmas. While attending North Miami Beach High School, he was utilized as a cornerback, strong safety, wide receiver, kick returner and long snapper. As a senior, he played eight games where he never came off the field. The three-year starter was voted his team's best defensive back three consecutive seasons. He broke school records for single game and career kickoff return yardage, as he collected 178 tackles with three interceptions on defense and had 61 receptions for 841 yards and seven touchdowns on offense.
Delmas enrolled at Western Michigan in 2005, along with prep teammates Daniel Marks and E.J. Biggers. He was the only true freshman to start every game, earning second-team All-Mid American Conference honors, in addition to being selected to the College Football News' Freshman All-American squad. He registered the team's first safety since 2001 and finished third on the team with 82 tackles (54 solos), including 1.5 sacks. He recovered two fumbles, broke up eight passes and picked off three others from his left cornerback slot.
A left knee medial collateral sprain suffered in the third game of the 2006 season vs. Virginia sidelined Delmas for two contests, but he still ranked third on the team with 53 tackles (39 solos). He paced the Broncos with four interceptions, broke up five passes and caused a fumble that he recovered at his new position, free safety.
Delmas' non-stop motor was sidelined for two early season games in 2007 after he suffered a concussion in a collision during the season opener vs. West Virginia. He came back for reserve duty vs. Central Connecticut before reclaiming his starting free safety job for the rest of the schedule. He collected three stops for loss that included a sack and was in on 64 tackles (48 solos). He picked off one pass and even tried his hand as a kickoff returner, averaging 23.1 yards on seven attempts.
National attention came the free safety's way in 2008, as he earned All-American status for the first time. The All-Mid American Conference choice led the Broncos with a career-high 111 tackles (61 solos) that included four stops for loss. He also had four interceptions, including one that he returned for a touchdown. His 111 hits ranked sixth among the nation's defensive backs during his final season.

Positives: Athletic build with the frame to carry additional mass. ... Active safety, unafraid to come up and support the run. ... Physical defender who flashes some explosiveness as a hitter. ... Reliable form tackler who attacks ballcarriers at their knees and wraps up securely. ... Good lateral agility to break down in space in the open field. ... Good instincts in coverage. ... Reads the quarterback and breaks on the ball. ... Smooth backpedal and appears to have at least adequate straight-line speed. ... Natural playmaker. ... Times his leaps well and can highpoint passes. ... Team captain.
Negatives: Lacks the bulk most teams prefer. ... Likes to evade blockers, rather than taking them on and shedding blocks. ... Resorts to low tackles and will, occasionally, duck his head and swipe. ... Can be more pesky than forceful as a tackler and will get dragged, at times. ... Aggressive defender; can be beaten with play-action. ... Questionable level of competition.
Injury Report
2006: Suffered a left knee medial collateral ligament sprain vs. Virginia (9/16), missing the next two games vs. Temple (9/23) and Ohio University (10/07).
2007: Left the West Virginia game (9/01) after suffering a concussion that forced him to sit out the Indiana (9/08) and Missouri (9/15) contests.

Like everywhere else in America, when the score of the thrilling USA/Canada hockey match at the Vancouver Olympics was announced the fans at the USA Airways Center in Phoenix erupted with joy.
On the court, Steve Nash gave it a double thumbs down.
Pretty amusing, but like a lot of Canadians, Nash doesn't find it all that funny.
"It was tough," Nash said. "There was a moment where I almost slapped someone in the front row because they kept yelling it (the score) to me but we're worried about season ticket renewals so I held back."
I don't know what Nash is complaining about, Canada has finally won some gold medals in a Winter Olympics they hosted. What else do they want?
- Simonoid - Feb 22, 2010 at 1:19 PM
STFU Kurt – us Canadians need a gold medal in men's hockey this year.
And an unbeaten tournament; but that part is no longer possible thanks to you tards. GO CANADA!
And Steve Nash is funny.
- Bizzle - Feb 22, 2010 at 1:34 PM
Yeah hoser, Canada needs a Gold medal, eh. The olympics this year are all aboot Canada bringing home a gold medal in Hockey. It's what our President Bryan Adams wants, now it's time to go put on our denim jackets, chug some maple syrup and get down to business, eh.

I am Alive Forever and always Essence Rebirth Renewal I have earth to ground me I have wind to move me I have fire to cleanse my spirit I have rain to quench my thirst for growth I have sun to enlighten me feed me I am my own mother and an extension of the whole I am Earth wind rain sun fire I am as old as life and I am as young as time I am shelter to those who seek me I am a bird a flower and the breath of the earth itself I am exactly where I want to be I am life I am first and last the beginning and the end I am one from many I am what I am I live I grow and I die. I am Reborn unto myself I am the great circle My limbs know no Boundaries; while My leaves whisper The one truth of the Whole through the Seasons changing Colors that I wear Upon my heart's Sleeve, I'm home To Earth Mother's Melodious Life; I Sing for the whole World to hear - trees Are Earth Mother's Song Blowing 'round the leafy Globe; eyes of the world song {{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Of the Mother breath of the living soul of the earth }}}}}}}}}}}} ***Senses evoked here are: Touching, Tasting, Hearing, Smelling and Seeing ***Elements evoked are: Water, Wind, Earth Metal, and Fire
"Well," She asked; her eyes wide. Beads of hot sweat glistening on her brow like miniature crystal suns. Her angst was palpable. "What is it!" The air was still. There were no words. Just the sound of bodies breathing in – and holding. "Congratulations." He held out his arms, handing the mother, her baby, "You have a son." The moment shone like glass in the center of the heavens – pure and eternal. It was redemption from every wrong thing she'd ever done. It was the shining eyes of God smiling onto her exhausted face; lighting it with hope. It was the only place there was – the only time, the only space. It was the only feeling that existed. They were the only two incarnate souls in the room; on the planet, and in the universe. This was her child – her son. And she was his mother. (there are no words for such things. suddenly, I feel like an intruder. there are too many eyes, words and moments here. so it is here, I take my leave; leaving this mother and the only soul in her universe to their perfect moment. they will have many more moments in this lifetime; but none as sacred, as human, or as eternal as the first look from life to life; mother to child; heaven to earth, as the very first. None.) "It's a boy." she whispered. Her throat a crumbling tunnel; stunned, but not really. Like she'd known it all along. "My baby boy…" She smiled into his ancient, brand-new face; tracing his delicate cheek with the back of her finger. "He's perfect." She ran her palm along the bottom of his soft, miraculous foot, and laughed. "Look at your feet – they're huge!" And as she wiped the tears with the heel of her shaking hand – smearing what was left of her mascara - she looked in to his, as close to heaven as one can get, eyes, and said, "Hi. I'm your mama." He smiled at her. He knew. He'd known it all along. "And I'll love you forever…" The world closed its shades then. Leaving the sacred to its history; the moment to eternity; and their universe to its quiet, little room. *Inspired by Deborah's, You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby, contest; and every mother who has graced this sacred room.
Its Raining… God's Cleansing Tool Cloud-Concerto… How Cool ! Plop-Plop Plopping into Pothole Pools On the Grass, Pavements and On My Own-Sweet- Fools… who, don't have Sense enough, to get out of the Rain… … I think I'll go Join Them… Again Amen
A solitary piece the diamond precious rare gem most treasured by those lucky enough to hold Once in possession it is rarely out of grasp Like the gemstone the mother requires very specific conditions in holding fast her (family/) childrens love Treasured forever in her heart she will go out of her way to preen and protect them holding them dear to her deep within her maternal safe – the heart closely guarded by the mind Her infatuation of all treasures to her are totally understandable especially when you think to the complexity of structure and process taken in creation Just as from the 'unbreakable' in ancient greek this alletrope of carbon with strength of bonding between atoms is representative of that strong love between mum and child The maternal being could be compared to the superlative physical qualities of the stone Even the characteristic luster of this gem so prevaient from its ability to disperse light and colour compared to the many strengths, roles and qualities of the mother seen by the many she deals with daily A most high pressured job versus the high pressured temperature within the Earths mantle that forms the delightful rock it gives birth to Infants delight and ignite the forbearer just as the jewel would dazzle the room a mother's love encaptures the magical luster of those she's birthed and nothing stands inbetween this richest of cargo's
One moist patch, like dewy grass, surrounded by a field of weeds, emerges first and breathes at last, through openings, the air it needs. Cut off from, and cut off of; counting on, and counting in; from down below, to up above - A smack on tender, crimson skin. There is a pulse. One spring bud, like seedling stems, surrounded by a garden wall, is standing out from all of them, despite the fact, they're just as tall. And though the bud has not yet grown, the soil and the water see more than just the seed they've sewn. They see the flower it will be. There is a pulse. One tall stem, like climbing vines, surrounded by its petals' plumes, shares its elegant designs, and stretches as it blooms. And when the wind begins to call, the flower spreads it's pollen 'round. It falls in love, and loves in fall, and falling love renews the ground. There is a pulse.
All I hear are sirens echoing off tall buildings; a drunk man ranting, a prostitute looking for her next trick, a drug addict looking for his next fix. Young teenage kids who seem to have just learned the art of curse. A young couple fist fighting in the streets---more sirens. A homeless man pan-handling, picking up cigarette butts and smoking a hole into his neck, gum pushed deeper into concrete marked blacker with every step. All I hear are sirens and I say a little prayer for the person in the back. Trains and boats chiming in the distance, a stray cat limping into an unknown existence...must be nice to have nine lives! Yet, all I hear are sirens in this concrete urban forest, where trees are replaced with buildings and cars are the only waves I hear, street lights in place of the stars, sirens in place of the wind. I close my paper eyelids tight, i can hear in this concrete urban forest of man-nature, for a glimpse, a stolen second in time, the sound of Mother Nature...she still sings and she's crying. She's crying for the people in the back of all those sirens. She cries for her bush the drunk man urinated on; the puddle of blood collecting on her blades of grass that a young man drew from his womans lips. She cries for her branch the teenage kids snapped for fun. She's crying - Mother Nature - is crying, because man - nature takes her place. In this concrete urban forest...all I hear are sirens and I close my paper eyes; i try to reach out and steal the tear off of - Mother Nature's - face. All I hear are sirens and im saddened, man-nature takes her place.
Confetti flutters the sky A bride dressed in pearly white Footprints pave bright virgin snow Steps to her future
So young myself, I was naive' Without a doubt, I did believe the babe, then latched inside my womb was bound to me, and would always be Latched on, was he, as he was fed Then later on, our hands instead Not tall enough to open gates I'd reach the latch for his escape In time he grew to need more space The bond we had, would stretch in place With loving smiles, I watched him play He longed to grow, and threads grew long He reached to climb, and fly the wind Yet ties remained, still ever strong Years would pass, too soon, a man Old ties would change, yet carry on Love came along, as it should be My eyes, if wise, must let it be This union blessed, was good to see Her love for you, the world could see It didn't mean my son was gone Songs are sung when lovers part But no song for a mother's heart When new adventures come one day Those new roads take him far away The man he is, has been set free To be the man he wants to be The child he was is never gone She's letting go, yet holding on If once, one wish were mine to choose So many do my thoughts pursue But one within my heart still yearns If just one day, the clocks would turn Together you and I would be Sitting here among the trees I would hold you close, upon my knees then turn you loose, to join the leaves... __________________________________________________ First Poem Submitted To Poetry Soup Written not long after the weddings of all three of my children who were all married within 1-1/2 years of each other! I must have been feeling the empty nest blues and all the changes that came along ! :)
spring thaw the ice breaks- into song
Under canopy of majestic oaks, leaves swaying, gentle breeze, rustling of the dancing leaves, flying chirps, all species, joyous laughter, melodic sounds, like violins, bees abound, peace surrounds in backyard paradise. As I partake of nature's scene, eyes affix whites, magnolia high, reminisce of mother in the sky. Lessons of nature, she did give, exploration through wooded path, wild flowers we did name, birds' identity, toadstools find, love of nature by her design. Won HM in Mac McGovern's Best Poem Contest June 10, 2010
Why must the mourning come with every dawn? The sky is crying again today. I heard her sobbing as I laid in bed. She would calm down for a little while, then it would start up again. Did I do something to upset Mother Nature? I watched in solemn silence all afternoon as her tears streak down my window pane. I wonder what I can possibly do to comfort her. There are no tissues large enough to wipe away a streaming flood of sorrow. Maybe this is just Mother Nature's way of grieving, and soon it will pass. The newborn flowers open their blossoms to receive and embrace her gift. Mother Nature is so beautiful even when she cries. May 13th, 2014

I pause my schedule with a stroll along the Mill Race Park. Unfortunately, my eyes, heart and soul are assaulted by waves of creeping garbage. I collect some of the litter, only to dump it into a metal bin rusting out at the bottom -- garbage goes in, garbage flows back out, strewn around by spring gusts. Next time, garbage bags are in order. I will fill them up and carry them home, only to possibly be mistaken for a homeless man carrying all of his worldly possessions in black, plastic bags. Oh well, people can laugh at me, then come down here and spread some more rubbish along this watery, green belt. A Blue Heron is tentatively fishing amongst the garbage and chemical slicks shimmering on the water's surface. This bird is the official symbol of our river-town. We should show some more respect to this regal, yet ever-secretive member of royalty -- show some more respect to this symbol of our town's heritage. I will not let this filth drag me down into an abyss of apathy. To be mistaken for a hobo, is a small price to pay, in giving back to this Heron, some of the dignity it so deserves. the blue heron fishes amongst litter -- a tarnished crown +/-
Mother Nature, Mother Earth. If Mother Earth stood in front of you what would you say? Sorry for taking your whales away, Sorry for cutting your forests to shreds, Sorry little animals for taking your beds, Sorry polar bears for melting your ice, having to swim further to save your own live, Sorry to all the fish in the sea, because its to hot you try to flee. Sorry for the birds and the bees, not many left on the all gone trees. Sorry for the nuclear plants, but man seems to think that he must advance. Sorry for the wars we cause, they certainly are not gods or yours. Sorry for the faith man has lost, your biggest creation is losing with cost. If you were Mother Earth and told these things, what would you say to me? "SORRY, SORRY, SORRY", is all you have to say," You destroy everything which we have given you". " The animals are going have gone extinct, You kill the air you so precisely need, You fight each other and call it in the name of god, which god do you perceive, The one with love to all, for all, which he created, Or the one who fell from grace with hatred. I would look at her with glee Because the earth sounds like the second scenario to me. The next question I would ask Mother Nature are we going to last . If everyone on the earth of today threw down their arms and started to pray would god hear our prays in just that day mother nature would look at me and look around at the all gone trees then she would bend down on her green leafed knees A tear in her sunlit eyes saying to me "Sorry to late". What would you do if Mother Earth or Nature stood in front of you? The End.
Where has dad gone, momma dear? Hush, my little lamb. Your dad's gone to the thicket dear And mad old Abraham That man went early this grim morn, and took his sharpened knife And with him took his own first born, to offer up his life With servants and with firewood, both, they journeyed to Moriah And on the hillside there they built an altar and a fire And Isaac, when he heard the plan, went willingly, it's odd That he should let that daft old man, so worship his cruel god. Your father, he was passing by, and heard but could not see And foolishly could not deny his curiosity So closer did your father scramble peering through the thorns Unaware of how the brambles tangled with his horns Just to see a crazy man who planned to kill his kin Your father did not understand the danger he was in For then again that mad old man started hearing voices His god was speaking to the loon and giving him new choices And so his plan to slay the boy came about to falter And Abraham, he took your pa and dragged him to the altar But that was never fair, mama, can you tell me why When Isaac he was all prepared and well prepared to die And all had been decided on, so what cruel trick mama Was played upon that grand old ram, who was my own papa? Life is not fair, my little lamb, nor is it like to change And fate plays tricks on all of us, both sinister and strange So you take care, my little lamb, with this advice from me Do not visit places where you know you should not be The moral of this story dear, is take heed of the odds And stay away from two-leggies worshipping their gods
Into the light I see, with rays in clouds and warmth in me. Brittle is the air around, no voice is there, nor sweeter sound. Within my scars and broken back, there are my kin, there love I lack. The oceans turn, therefore I weep, Is it truly my tears to keep? Now the mountains begin to fall, like sand and dust to death they call. I hear my children bleed and cry, there bellies thirst and almost dry. Some will seat and eat there fill, "lets help them now, so now we will! His mother would find pride within, a pretty thing this life of sin. Alas, my days are almost through, my breath, my flesh and heart is too. Let this be my final song, for war alone is for the strong. Into the night I see, is there still love left for me?

We were sleeping When the dirty water Came rushing down, Drowning our arrogance And releasing our fears Into the atmosphere. We were stunned. Ravaged by consequence Melting around our feet. Disorienting panic Was devoted to the air, Igniting exhausting anarchy. Pandemonium ruled This day While we were rendered speechless, Ruined by our own Inability to escape Such confounding spoils. The dirty water rose, Bringing indignant death And uniting a new breed, The best and worst Humanity has to offer To this brave, old world. Voices lifted into the molten sky, Crying for help Beyond comprehension, Catapulting an echo Even as it occurred Around the globe. Why must it be so That man's integrity Is tested by disaster? Why must it take Such extreme devastation To wake us?

Steel Gray skies with threatening rain and restless wind My breath gathers as mist on the inside of the window pane ...as I watched for the school bus A slender birch tree with spiral scars of flayed bark against its white skin like curlicues of sharpened pencil shavings Still clutching many bright yellow leaves, Some collecting at its base like a discarded garment Sunlight, just a small shaft flickers bright dapples on tiny dancers Ocherous curtains against the bruised sky Prodigious vibrant final act Just for me The tree manages a sly curtsey in my direction, Sacrificing more of her fragile costume My beautiful rosy-cheeked child kicks playfully through the saffron sea of discarded programs "Here are some for you Mama" he says as he bursts into the kitchen smelling of peanut butter and early fall There he deposits a chubby handful of my regard gently into my apron pocket And into my heart's hiding place as well Perfect poignant performance; Beautifully done slender birch, Most beautifully done
The beauty of love Is a lot like the Sea With all of it's power Beautiful and free Just as the Sea Is bound by currents Souls are bound By loves torrent Just as the Sea Reflects the light Love truly is A beacon of right Just as the Sea Is a provider of life Love makes a mother As well as a wife Just as the Sea Is bound to the wind Love forever binds Two dear friends Just as the Sea Needs be respected True love is a thing That must be protected As the waves create The rings of time Forever yours Forever mine
A yearling asleep When its mother arrived She knew it was time A green meadow, the best place It was time to say farewell to her fawn For he was a young growing buck She wished him good luck He would miss being A small spotted fawn Who Waits patiently for mother While gnawing the grass Oh, he would dearly Miss those wonderfully Glorious days
As I looked into this picture there was something different There was something about this picture, something it represents I couldn't put my finger on it, so half an hour or more was spent Then I saw what it was and I laughed to my hearts content The picture you took of the horse was really very good You got a good eye for things, that is understood In that photo you have captured the serenity of the mood To this serene photo I had my eyes for an hour glued Until I realized that in the photo at which I stare Is a scene of the beauty of life that is beyond compare A picture of a mother standing there without care Feeling so content with life, a picture of a pregnant mare

The heart of the sea is a mother's heart She is the great ancestral mother of all life on the planet Deep within the mysterious waters of her womb she conceived and gave birth to the first life form which evolved into more complex organisms that live on the land and in the air She is an essential part of the planet's ecosystem feeding the clouds which bring rain and snow that sustain life on the earth Through tiny ocean plants and photosynthesis she removes carbon dioxide from the air and converts it to more than one half of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere She is the great food provider to the planet having her own internal food chain with tiny phytoplankton at the lower end and enormous sharks and whales at the upper end She feeds creatures from the land and air that venture to fish in her waters She is a thing of beauty even in her enraged fury with massive waves towering over a hundred feet and the seething white foam of her waters This has been her action even before the advent of man on the planet Man must respect her behaviour or suffer death and destruction if he does not She is a thing of beauty in her calm stillness under the setting sun which lights up the evening sky in its glorious splendour and paints a glistening beam of light on the water's surface in line with the sun and surrounds it with brilliant colours of the rainbow

Froth and foam, time and tide... Ah, the motion of the ocean. 'Tis the source of my heart's longing, The place of my soul's belonging, With it's push and pull... Ebb and flow. As time and space go rambling on... At your shores, the same time and space Stand halted... Your maker and mine exalted... By your push and pull... Ebb and flow. At times I find myself longing, To become one with you, And your knowing of life's beginnings, Both old and new... And the days and years of all your learnings. To find myself wrapped up, In your fathomless embrace, In all the ways you have kissed me, With the currents of your passion… Your endless days, the mystical fashion, Of your push and pull... Ebb and flow. Yet how shall I fathom, Your unending endlessness? And how shall I counter, Your impartial fury? Most certain am I that it will bury, And erase, All that is and leave no trace, Of that which is and was to come. For man who is blind, sees only your wealth, And not wholly that, But that which he deems As wealth. Till you, left naked and raped, rise... To reprove us, to open our eyes. Only then do we see, T'was meant to be, That you, and I and we, Are made as one. And as to you, unto us is done. Thus to us is done for sure, Till blindly stumbling we find this cure: That those who shall possess you, Shall do in setting you free.

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the true heir to the 4G moniker and a pure evolution of today's 3G wireless networks. Plans for offering LTE's 100 Mbps+ data rates already have been announced by the majority of wireless operators, and the race to be first has begun.
LTE offers the promise of a pure, all-IP converged core network instead of the separate circuit- and packet-switched networks used in current cellular systems. At the same time, with "all-IP" networks, wireless carriers have to prepare for all of the challenges that today's Internet service providers (ISPs) face.

Tidbit Tuesday #5
It's Tuesday!!!! :D
Painters tape? Are we painting? No way Jose!! But...go grab your roll and let's get started. :)
I've gotten a lot of comments and questions on my quilting lately (thank you!!) so I thought I'd give a tidbit of how I begin with my straight line quilting and hopefully answer a few of your questions!!
I'm going to be using my Pillow Talk Swap Pillow for the example. It's something fairly small and easy to handle for a practice piece. I would definitely recommend starting on something small, just to get the feel for it.
To start off, you want to sandwich your quilt, be it mini for a pillow or a full sized quilt. Then pin it, or whatever process you follow, to keep it basted together.
You will want to determine how you will straight line quilt your quilt. Do you want to just travel end to end? Side to side? Or in some sort of pattern?
For this piece, with my daughters help, I chose to do "L" shaped lines in each of the quadrants of the quilt.
Find the center of your quilt going vertical and horizontal. (For this piece I used a quilting ruler that was long enough to go end to end. For a larger quilt. I will usually lay the quilt out on the floor and take a piece of yarn and pin it corner to corner of the quilt to establish that straight diagonal line. If you are just quilting vertical or horizontal, where you start doesn't really matter, but going from the inside out seems to work the best.)
Place the painters tape on the OUTSIDE of that line where you will NOT be quilting.The placement of the tape helps make that first line straight. If you don't have this line straight, none of your others lines will be either. Why painters tape? It won't leave sticky residue on your quilt top, it's fairly easy to use, sometimes more than once, and it's cost effective. I personally do not like to draw on my quilt because I've had trouble getting lines out afterwards. (Any suggestions there would be greatly appreciated!)
**Note** Before you begin sewing, if your machine allows it, change your needle stop position so when you stop sewing, the needle stops in the down position. This will prevent your quilt from shifting out of place.
**Note #2** Use a walking foot if you have one. You won't be sorry you did! :)
Then quilt right NEXT to that taped line. Be careful not to sew on the tape as it's a mess to remove if it is sewn through, although not impossible, so don't worry if you do.
When you get to the corner, stop in the needle down position, lift your presser foot and turn your fabric. Continue to sew along your taped line.
After each row, you will keep going back to the same starting point, only you will move down the fabric as you create your lines. I use my presser foot edge as a guide to move along to keep my lines straight and I will adjust my needle position (left, center, right) to determine the width of my lines.
Also, keep your eye on the line you will need to turn at and make sure you stop before it. Where will depend on how you space your lines. If you space them 1/2", then you will stop a 1/2" before the line you need to turn at.
Before you know it, you will have an entire quadrant done and all pretty. :)
You will repeat this process for each quadrant using those first two lines you had sewn as center lines, so you only have to place one piece of tape in each quadrant after that. The last quadrant, you won't use the tape at all. :)
I hope this all makes sense. That I didn't give too much information or maybe not enough. Please feel free to ask any questions. I'd be more than happy to answer them and help out! Just make sure you leave your email addy with your comment so I can reply back to you :)
Much Love!!!

Great tip! I just used painter's tape to do grid lines on three quilts and loved it. One thing I learned - don't go with the "sensitive surfaces" tape thinking it will be gentler on your quilt - it doesn't hold well enough to hold up for more than one "pass". Regular painter's tape is cheaper and works better, at least for me. Also, if you do sew over the tape by accident, tweezers are great for pulling out those little tags of tape that remain when you pull the tape up!
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I really love hearing from you!! :)
Happy Quilting!

I love my 2013 A3 AWD---but it does have one design/function flaw. And, I bought the weather package. When snow has not been dusted off the car door and roof and I open the door, snow showers into the front seat and floor.

Even Jeff Halpern can't believe the Caps are still in the playoff race
Feb 22, 2012, 11:51 AM EDT
The trials and tribulations of the Washington Capitals this season are all too well known at this point. A team blessed with talent that's performing below standard the way the Caps are means trouble when it comes to playoff hopes.
Caps forward Jeff Halpern pulled no punches when talking about where the team is in the standings. With the Caps sitting 10th in the East but just two points out of both the Southeast Division lead and the eighth playoff spot, he tells Chuck Gormley of CSNWashington.com that he's stunned they're that close.
"It's amazing that as bad as we've played, we're still in it," Caps center Jeff Halpern told reporters. "For us not to seize these opportunities, shame on us. With efforts like (Monday night's 5-0 loss in Carolina), we're not going to do anything."
The Caps have been a very average team this season. The goal scoring comes and goes the same way the goaltending does and it's been rare when the two have hit their highs at the same time.
Then again, the last season Halpern suited up in a Caps uniform it was the 2005-2006 season when the team finished fifth in the division and had the fourth worst record in the league. He's seen worse.
- danphipps01 - Feb 22, 2012 at 2:26 PM
Welcome to the utter joy that is the Southeast Division, Jeff. You can be as miserably incompetent as you want and still make the playoffs year after year. Life is good when you're playing on easy mode.
- unknowneric - Feb 22, 2012 at 4:13 PM
Halpern: "With all these stars, you'd think we'd be playing better!"
Reporter: "I know. Ovechkin… Semin… Vokoun…"
Halpern: "Oh! No, I meant on our jerseys!" *points just below neck*

State Senator Steve Knight, R-Palmdale, visited three William S. Hart Union High School District campuses on Monday, where principals demonstrated how they were implementing common core and hands-on training for their students.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Saugus High School, Rio Norte Junior High and Valencia High School are all part of Knight's service area within the 21st District.
Knight said that he has visited more than 50 schools since he has been in office, so that he can be aware of what education looks like in his district and can better comment on it as a politician.
Saugus Principal Bill Bolde began his tour at 10 a.m., accompanied by District Superintendent Rob Challinor and Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Michael Vierra. In addition to academic classes, the tour focused on the school's vocational training programs that prepare students to enter the workforce.
Knight and Bolde visited classrooms for the video production department, auto shop and wood shop, as well as the gym and an AP history class.
Bolde explained the type of real life training that students receive by repairing cars and restoring older models in the auto shop, marketable skills that will help them get a job after graduation.
Wood shop students learn a variety different techniques, from building a miniature house to mass-producing cutting boards.
In another classroom, one of Saugus' newest teachers was leading ninth graders through a time management exercise.
AP history students discussed early American Federalism at the creation of the Constitution.
By the end of the tour, Knight described Saugus as an "impressive" and "beautiful" school.
"I'm most impressed with the situational areas where kids can get a job," he said. "Many kids who go to high school want to go to college, but some want to go into the workforce or the military."
Knight visited Rio Norte at 11 a.m. and Valencia High at 12 p.m.
Senator Knight represents the 21st Senate District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities throughout the Antelope and Victor Valleys.
