I had breast augmentation 4 weeks ago, 450cc naturelle submuscular. My problem is the skin seems to be falling off my implant, and my nipples arent central at all they are very low. I was told a lift wasnt needed so whats going on? Why the sag and why the low nipples? My surgeon said my implants need to drop but the longer the time goes by the worse they look. Any suggestions?

First, pre-op photos would be helpful. Second you need to give them more time to settle. If the implants do not come down then you will likely need another operation. If you had sagging breasts before surgery, then you may need a lift.
It is possible that you need a small lift to compensate but most would suggest you wait for the implants to fully settle. This may take 2-4 months. Sometimes the implants can provide a small lift but if you need more than 1-2 cm then you generally need a lift.
Hello. Four weeks is not enough time for the implants to settle. Your implants will not settle for about another two months and I would not be too worried about your outcome until then.

I don't think that settling of the implants will solve the "Snoopy" deformities of your breasts. However four weeks is too early to make a conclusive judgment. Continue to work your plastic surgeon.

Some pre-op photos would be helpful. They may show that a combined augmentation and lift might have been a better choice.
At this point, there may still be some settling of the implants, and it makes sense to wait for that before making any decisions or plans. My guess is that you will do well to have a lift, but now would not be a good time--if the areolas are centered on the current implant position, and the implants continue to drop, are areolas will be too high and that is difficult to fix.
Stay in close touch with your surgeon. Best wishes.

Chopra was 3-under through 11 holes Saturday, while Estes was 2-under after 11. Both players hit their tee shots on the par-3 12th- before play was halted for the night.
The tournament has been playing catch-up since Thursday when the opening round was halted by darkness. Inclement weather halted the second round Friday, and that round was completed Saturday before the third round could begin.
The third round was halted for the day by darkness at 6:38 p.m. (EDT). Thirty-four players did not complete their third rounds. Players will return to the course at 8 a.m. Sunday morning.
Briny Baird and Shigeki Maruyama are two strokes back at 14-under. Baird has completed 15 holes and Maruyama 14.
Fredrik Jacobson is also through 14 holes and was at 13-under.

Any place in town can broil an acceptable filet mignon, but Suzanne Tracht's snazzy steak house is a blast from the Mad Men '60s, chefly riffs on the strip steak and the porterhouse, the hash brown and the french fry that may or may not incorporate every last pea tendril and star-anise infusion in the Asian-fusion playbook. Some people we know have never even tried the steak here - the glorious pot roast and the various and sundry wonders of the duck-fried rice are just too compelling. But the steak is about as good as it gets. The décor is straight off the set of a Cary Grant movie. And there's always banana cream pie for dessert.

Thank you very much!!!!
lives4dogshows acrylics are a great medium to work in, but you really have to get used to the speed at which they dry. Blending can be tough if you wait too long. But i love the vivid colours that accompany them, and the bold lines. Also, the fact that if you make a mistake you can paint right over it is a major bonus Don't be afraid to use them - try them out on some illustration board, get a feel for how they flow, how to mix and how to lay down colour. Experiment a little first - you'll eventually fall into a style and comfortable way in which you can utilize them. But remember, pencil, coloured pencil or any of those types of mediums are not novice stuff. Yes, they are how a lot people start out, but beautiful intricate work can be created with these, so don't be embarassed that this is your main medium for now. Its a great place to start, and a wonderful place to learn and grow.

Set up a new employee
This article will give you the instructions on how to set up, add or enter a new employee in QuickBooks.
Expected Outcome
You can add or edit your employee's payroll information
Your employee has filled out all necessary new hire forms: I-9, Form W-4; and any state withholding allowance forms.
When creating a new employee or editing an existing one, you can enter payroll information in any one of five areas.
Personal Information
- Personal: You must enter name, Social Security Number, and address. The other fields are optional.
- Address and Contact: Enter the employee's address and phone numbers.
- Additional Info: Enter the employee number and billing rate level (if applicable). You can also define your own fields here, if necessary.
Payroll and Compensation Information
Types of employee compensations:
- Regular earnings for an hourly employee is defined as the employee s hourly rate multiplied by the number of hours worked during the payroll period.
- Salaried employees receive a fixed amount for each payroll period, whether weekly, bi-weekly, semi- monthly, or monthly.
- The payment of commission as remuneration for services rendered or products sold is a common way to reward sales people. Payments often will be calculated on the basis of a percentage of the goods sold. This is a way for firms to solve the principal agent problem, by attempting to realign employees' interests with those of the firm.
- Bonus/tip refers to extra pay due to good performance or money or an equivalent given in addition to an employee's usual compensation.
Employment Information
Enter the employee's hire date, release date (when applicable), and employment type.
In QuickBooks 2015, the following tabs have been added:
- Leave of Absence: Enter the employee's leave details when applicable.
- Termination: If an employee gets terminated, enter the termination dates and details.
Note: If a release date is entered, you must remove it before you can pay the employee.
Additional Info
Workers Compensation (Assisted and Enhanced Payroll only)
To add a new employee:
Open the New Employee window:
- From the menus at the top, click Employees > Employee Center
- At the upper left of the Employee Center, select New Employee.
Click the Change tabs dropdown button, and select Personal Info (In QuickBooks 2013 and higher: Go to Personal tab). Complete the fields in the tab.
Click the Address & Contact tab and complete the fields in the tab.
Click the Additional Info tab, and enter any information you want to store for the employee.
- Enter information need in CUSTOM FIELDS, and/or click Define Fields to add custom fields to track employee information, such as birthday or spouse's name.
Click the Change tabs dropdown button, and select Payroll and Compensation Info tab. (In QuickBooks 2013 and higher: Click the Payroll Info tab.) Enter applicable information regarding compensation and benefits.
- In the Earnings section, click the Item Name dropdown button.
- Select or add an item, and enter the Hourly/Annual Rate.
- In the Additions, Deductions and Company Contributions section, click the Item Name dropdown button.
- Example: medical, 401 (k), wage garnishment, etc.
- Select or add an item, and enter the Amount and Limit for every item selected or added.
- Click the Payroll Schedule dropdown button, and select or add a new schedule.
- Click the Pay Frequency dropdown button, and select or add a new frequency.
- Click the Class dropdown button, and select or add a new class.
- Click Taxes button to set up Federal, State and Other taxes.
- Got a VISA employee? If you have an employee on a VISA click to remove the taxes they are not subject to. Not sure which taxes to select? Contact your accountant or tax professional and check out our helpful list of IRS articles. If you have Assisted Payroll, you must contact us to remove taxes paid by the payroll service.
Be sure you select the State Worked and State Subject to Withholding tax code, even if there are no state income taxes (states without state income taxes include TX, FL, SD, WA, TN, NH, AK and NV). This ensures that Intuit files properly for this employee and your company.
When you set up an employee in a new state, you are prompted to set up the state taxes if the information is not already entered. If you do not enter a state ID for a tax item, QuickBooks will display the following message:
Does either of the following apply to your company- I am in the process of applying for my state tax ID.
- My company is exempt from this tax.
If you have your state tax ID, click No and enter the ID number. If you are in the process of applying for the state tax ID number, click Yes to continue.
If your employee lives and works in different states (or your company is in a different state than where your employee lives or works) your State Worked and State Subject to Withholding tax codes could depend on reciprocal agreements. See Multi-State withholding responsibilities and QuickBooks Payroll: Multi-State Employer Unemployment Insurance Requirements for more information.
- Click OK.
- Click Sick/Vacation button, and setup the sick and vacation information.
- Click OK.
- Click Direct Deposit button, and enter the employee's direct deposit bank account information. See also Direct Deposit requirements, signup, and activation.

Your cart is empty!
I have the set of three, brown, purple, and black. You do not have them listed...Any reason?
The lighter end of the pencil required more pressure to apply. This pencil doesn't sharpen easily, the point getting chewed up rather than becoming smooth and sharp.
I've used this product for the past 2 years and am very satisfied with the results. I can't always find the color...brownish-black... in the stores I frequent so when I do, I buy 2-3 pencils. I guess this means others find this color very pleasing also.

The Alaska Aces are getting their goaltending tandem back for another season.
The ECHL club this morning announced it has re-signed Mark Guggenberger, the All-ECHL second-team goalie last season, after last week announcing the signing of Gerald Coleman.
That means the return of the tandem that last season led the Aces to an unprecedented third straight Brabham Cup title as ECHL regular-season champs.
All Guggenberger, 24, did last season was go 25-8-5 with a 2.23 goals-against average, .918 save percentage and three shutouts. That placed him tied for fourth on the circuit in wins, third in goals-against average, fourth in save percentage and tied for fourth in shutouts. He proved the read deal in his first ECHL season, which came after he was the Central Hockey League's Goaltender of the Year and Rookie of the Year two seasons ago.
When Coleman was recovering from offseason hip surgery a year ago and goalie James Reid suffered an ankle injury early in the season, Guggenberger made 13 consecutive starts -- he went 10-3-0 in that stretch -- and helped the Aces get off to a strong start.
There's a decent chance the Aces will get a goalie assigned to them by their NHL affiliate, the Calgary Flames, so Guggenberger and a masked man to be named could be the club's tandem in the early season as Coleman continues rehab from another offseason hip surgery.
In any event, doesn't look like goaltending is anything the Aces have to be concerned about. Guggenberger and Coleman last season furnished them a stellar tandem. Remember, the Aces finished second in the league in goals allowed last season, trailing South Carolina by just .01 goals per game.
By the way, the announcement of Guggenberger's re-signing means the Aces have announced the signings (to a standard ECHL one-year deal or a PTO -- professional tryout agreement) of 15 players for the upcoming season. The breakdown: seven forwards, six defensemen, two goalies. And 12 of those players are returners.

Printed marks 1906+.
Many of the marks say 'ESTd 1801' - However the Crown Staffordshire Porcelain Co. was not formed until 1889 - so how did they get this date of 1801? According to Jewitt's 'Ceramic Art of Great Britain'.. the Minerva works were established in 1801 and via a number of companies the works evantually vame into the hands of the Crown Staffordshire Porcelain Co. So it is the pottery factory that was estabilished in 1801 - and not this company. This type of stretching of the truth with dates was not uncommon with pottery companies as they tried to show longevity. |
'ROYAL VICTORY' is the pattern name |
Printed mark - probably from 1930+
from this date onwards note the addition of the words "Fine Bone China" The name 'Crown Staffordshire' or the date 'ESTd 1801' or the scroll symbol indicate this company. |

The remedy for the ailing courthouse clock is legal action. The Lafayette County Board of Supervisors announced in their regular meeting that they hired a man over three years ago to repair the clock who has not made the restorations or returned the clock parts. Now the board is seeking a clockmaker to help restore the current one, but may have to settle for a newer clock that works. (July 7, 2010, Page 3)

Chic and Stylish Memory Wire Bracelets
If you think it's hard to create your own Chic and Stylish Memory Bracelets, think again. Memory wire patterns can be super easy to complete, and this project is the perfect example. In fact, you only need six supplies to get started. DIY beaded bracelets look great with fancy outfits, but this particular project is versatile enough to go with jeans and a t-shirt. Be sure to experiment with fun bead colors - you can pick a monochromatic color scheme or something really wild. No matter the design, your bracelet will look pretty and sophisticated.
- Remembrance Memory Wire, bracelet-size
- 40-gram package of assorted glass beads
- Beadalon Memory Wire End Caps
- BeadFix
- Beadalon Round Nose pliers
- Beadalon Memory Wire Shears
- Use memory wire shears to cut three continuous loops of Remembrance memory wire. Glue a memory wire end cap onto one end or use round nose pliers to make a loop.
- String glass beads in the same color family randomly onto the wire. The only trick to making a random style work is making sure that two beads of the same style are never right next to each other.
- To finish the bracelet, glue an end cap onto the end or use round nose pliers to make a loop.

Adherence behavior in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22193934 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Adherence is critical to the overall management of individuals at risk for and with cardiovascular disease. It forms an interplay between the patient, provider, and health care system and includes barriers that have been encountered within all 3 domains. Improving adherence to exercise, diet, and medication as well as focusing on addictive disorders such as smoking cessation requires patient, provider, and health care system approaches. The use of the cognitive/behavioral elements of health behavior change and communication strategies such as motivational interviewing and coaching serve to enhance overall adherence. Continuous quality improvement initiatives at the system level of change also increase the likelihood that teams will succeed in helping individuals change their behavior. Cardiac rehabilitation programs offer a unique opportunity for health care professionals to play a key role in supporting individuals through the health behavior change process. |

Roommate wanted: 2/1 on Haynes Street (self.txstate)
submitted 2 years ago by [deleted]
alright, i just moved into a house on haynes street. i lived in san antonio for a stint and have moved back and have a full-time job now in san marcos.
about the house: it's not very big, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, $375/mo without taking utilities into account. it may be 750 square feet, but it is nice and homey. wood floors, no carpet, tiled kitchen, full-sized new appliances, it's a duplex and shares a wall with some cool neighbors who are friends of mine. living room is big and connects to kitchen, kitchen opens to the back yard, which shares a gate that connects the back yard to the front yard. front yard has a picket fence, back yard has a utility room with a functional washer and a drier and a few trees. large covered patio in the front. i eventually want to dig a fire pit because at my other house on haynes i had awesome fire parties every 2 weeks or so with maybe 3-8 people.
about the neighborhood: haynes is an awesome street. it used to be the barrio, and in a way, it still is, but it attracts a lot of people between 23 and 26 who are all friendly and know each other. most of them have jobs and are either fresh out of school or still in it. it's a 5 minute walk to the big heb, a 3 minute walk to bum's billiards and maybe 10 minutes to rio vista. the property company is great, fixed all my stuff whenever i requested it, and returned my FULL security deposit last time i rented from them (!). the landlady actually lives across the street and was my friend long before i rented from her. she comes to a lot of my parties. haynes is the kind of place where you can literally do whatever you want and no one will complain or call the cops on you.
about me: i have a dog and am cool with people's pets. my dog gets along well with cats when she lives with them. she's a weiner dog but she's not too yappy. i am well-versed with roommates and the things you have to put up with, which is to say i am not an irritable asshole about things that are minor. i'm cool with smokers, i don't take up much space, i mostly keep to myself, and i have a full-time job working 7am-5pm 4 days a week. i like cooking, i eat tons of meat and love to barbecue, i go to the gym a lot, i used to box and i still train in boxing when i get the chance. i like to drink a few nights a week. i am usually found in my room playing xbox with music on in the background. i listen to a lot of music, my favorites are big krit, hank williams iii, toro y moi, curtis mayfield, scott biram, bobby womack, cypress hill, morbid angel, kendrick lamar, ghostface killa, yeasayer, emperor, immortal, sbtrkt, aphex twin, etc. the one thing off the top of my head that i can't stand is passive-aggression. communication is key to being roommates, and roommate problems only grow when you're not direct with each other. i've lived with a lot of different kinds of people and i know this to be true.

I would be interested if it was sometime in April when my lease is up. Everyone kind of already has housing already. :/

When would you need the roommate to move in by.

Compiled by Mark LaVergne, DTM, Past International Director of Toastmasters International
At the Fall 2005 District 46 Conferences, one of the workshops was entitled, "Table Topics – Fear It No More." I was given the opportunity to lead that workshop, which allowed participants to hear and share ideas for success in handling Table Topics questions in Toastmasters and impromptu speaking situations in life and work. The "7 Re" formula for facing down a tough inquisitor was presented to the audience: 1-Relax, 2-Reflect, 3-Register, 4-Relate, 5-Reinforce, 6-Recommend and 7-Recap.
Table Topics is often seen by some as merely an interesting sideline of the Toastmasters meeting. In reality, success in Table Topics can translate to more confidence at work and in social situations. The workshop was intended to help attendees obtain strategies for avoiding "dry mouth" and "blank brain" when called on for Table Topics – or when faced with unsettling questions from a boss, a significant other, or even an IRS auditor! I am grateful to the attendees for making the workshop a positive, learning experience and to the District 46 Fall 2005 Conference Committee for putting on a great event and for making room for the workshop.
Aside from the problem of anxiety for Table Topics respondents, Table Topics presents an equally vexing challenge for Table Topics Masters and meeting planners: What questions to ask?
We are blessed with a wonderful set of holidays in this society. When looking for Table Topic theme ideas, begin by looking at these holidays as sources for theme-based questions. Please find below a partial list of possible themes, sorted roughly by calendar order (January-to-December):
Interesting pictures are selected from magazines, and the Table Topics Master removes captions or any other descriptive text. Each speaker picks one at random and discusses what is going on in the picture, e.g., a man is sitting at a desk reading, while another person is looking out the window.
Bring a lunch bag to the meeting containing various objects such as a paper clip, a staple remover, a button, a bookmark, a charge card, a pocket knife, a thimble, etc. Each speaker reaches into the bag and selects an object without seeing it. They then speak for two minutes about the object. You could also ask the speaker to sell the item to the group.
Let me suggest the Table Topics style I have seen at "Reverse Toastmaster" meetings (or "Fun Nights") where the Table Topics respondents first provides an answer and then the Table topics Master has to come up with the question!!! [Similarly, throughout the meeting, everything else is done in "reverse" style the Evaluators deliver the evaluations before the speech are delivered; etc., etc.]
Take interesting articles from the weekly tabloids (Weekly World News or National Enquirer are especially good). Each speaker is required to discuss and/or defend and/or explain the amazing things reported (Man finds green glob in closet...and it eats his dog)!
Everyone writes down a secret about themselves that no one knows about. Each speaker takes one of the notes, reads it, and states who they think wrote the note and why.
The speaker picks a really bad movie they have seen. They then must persuade the audience to see it.
My club is a corporate club that struggles through rounds and rounds of layoffs, and that means sometimes we are without a Table Topics Master at our Club meetings. To remedy that problem, I keep handy a book of sayings/proverbs in case I have to serve as last-minute Table Topics Master. I ask Table Topics respondents to randomly pick a page number and I read one of the sayings and ask them to speak on that saying.
This Table Topics theme requires a bit of research on the part of the Table Topics Master, who creates questions based on historical events that occurred on the day of the Toastmasters meeting. Each event in history can serve as a basis for a question. Table Topics Masters can go on the internet and use any number of popular search engines to get information on past events that occurred on "This Day in History."
One of the best way to always be prepared for Table Topics questions at Toastmasters meetings – or for the unexpected questions you receive in everyday life – is to "Make Yourself a Table Topic Resource." I would urge fellow Toastmasters to read, watch, and listen to things that happen in the news everyday to keep ourselves up to date on potential questions. We who share our ideas with others should always be aware of how we are relating to the facts that constantly come up in the course of our lives.
On slips of paper write out some unusual colors (e.g., "day-glo orange," "pea green," "flamingo pink," etc.). Then make a list of questions along these lines: Tell us why you plan to paint your house this color; Explain why all your clothes this summer will be in this color; Tell the person to your right why he/she should buy a car in this color; etc.
Cut pictures from the newspaper of the day (be sure to remove the captions). Have each respondent choose a picture (out of a hat) and explain to the Club what is happening in the picture.
Table Topics respondents are given an unusual object and asked to tell everyone what it is and how it is used. You can use unusual objects you were planning to clean out of your attic or basement :-) This theme can be used as part of a "Spring Cleaning" theme meeting.
Recently, I did a short training on the projects in the Special Occasion Speeches Advanced Manual and for Table Topics, members were asked to make believe they were giving a toast at a wedding, introducing a guest at a TM meeting, thanking a guest speaker for a special presentation and saying farewell at a retirement party. I prefer that members practice and be prepared for real life situations. That was just one idea I thought worthy of mention.
Table Topics respondents are given an unusual object and asked to sell the object to the club, with proceeds of any sale going to the Club treasury. Your Club Treasurer will particularly favor this approach.
Table Topics respondents are given an opportunity reach into a bag of assorted objects and pick an object to feel. The respondent leaves the object in the bag and describes it merely by feel.
Bring several pages from the Telephone Book Yellow Pages, and select a business from each page. The speaker has two minutes to sell the product or service.
Give each respondent a question from a "Dear Abby" column or other advice column and ask them to respond to the question as if they were an advice columnist. The questions can be made up by the Table Topics Master or taken from actual columns.
Have a book swap. Have members bring a book that they "sell" to the rest of the club by telling them why they like the book. Each member bargains for the book that her or she liked best from the explanation. Everyone gets a chance to speak and to get a new book in the process!.
If there are people in your club born in different areas (and/or different countries), try this:
"What do people think they know about your birthplace that isn't true?"
One time as Table Topics Master, I used some threads from a few newsgroups [the clean ones, of course :-) ]. For each Table Topics respondent, I read a posted message followed by the response post. Then I asked the hapless speaker to assume the role of the first person and answer the response. I don't remember the exact topics, but I recall that one was about censoring the Internet. The ".activism" groups offer a wealth of interesting discussions. Maybe the recent discussion here on alt.org.toastmasters regarding DTM requirements would prove to be stimulating.
Suppose you could go back in time and talk to yourself at the age of ten. What advice would you give yourself?"
The Table Topics Master comes prepared with only one key question, which relates to the theme of "preparing and publishing a book," but is ready to ask follow-up questions based on the same theme. The answer to the first question becomes the basis for formulating a question to a second respondent; and, the answer to the second question becomes the basis for formulating a question to a third respondent; and, so on and so forth. In the example of the "preparing and publishing a book" theme, depending on the answer to the previous question, the questions that follow might be:
"What should this book be about", "What should the title be," "How will be go about and do the research," "How can we promote the book", etc. Each respondent must take into account the answers of previous respondents.
As with the previous concept ("Getting Published"), the theme can revolve around starting a new business. Follow-up questions could involve "What service or product will you choose", "How will you promote the business", "How will you get it financed", "Will you quit your job to start the business or will you keep your job and work the new business on the side", etc. Each respondent must take into account the answers of previous respondents.
Read one paragraph from different letters to the editor of your local paper, and then respondents offer their opinions.
The Table Topics Master provides each participant with a very obscure (but actual) word from the dictionary, and the respondent comes up with a convincing definition of that word.
At one meeting, the Table Topics Master was a "no-show." So we created a group story. We started at one end of the room, and gave each participant 1-to-2 minutes to develop the story before passing it on to the next participant. It was a lot of fun and it is worth a try if your scheduled Table Topics Master is a "no-show."
Write different words on about 30 small pieces of paper, and put them into a hat. Have each respondent choose four pieces of paper, and ask them to create a story from the four words chosen. Alternatively, they can discuss what the four words have in common or how their meanings are inter-related. (Note: Variations of the word are ok. For example, if the word is "telescope," then "telescopic" may be used in the story).
At one meeting, we tied the Table Topic session to the educational program. The educational program was about how to answer Table Topics by either rewording the question, not answering the question but asking your own, or taking the opposite side than you were asked. Each person who did Table Topics after this portion had to do one of the above. It was a great learning experience for everyone, and opened our eyes to new ways of answering Table Topics.
Most memorable meal; Favorite food; Least favorite food; Strangest food ever eaten; Worst meal; Strangest place ever eaten.
Spend a minute or so reviewing basic introductions. Then bring up each speaker and have them pull an object out of a bag, and have them introduce what they have extracted. (Vegetables work well.... "It's MR. CARROT!!!! Please introduce Mr. Carrot as our next speaker." Not only do people get practice with introductions, but they get to take home a part of a salad.)
The Table Topics Master calls upon participants in pairs. One person speaks to the topic and the other participant stands next to the first person and performs all the associated gestures. For this routine, ideal topics include:
We had an interesting Table Topics session that simulated the White House daily press briefing. Table Topics respondents were asked to take on the role of the President's Press Secretary, and the members of the audience served as the White House press corps. Each respondent took on a question from the audience. Talk about thinking on your feet!
Discuss an unusual or inconvenient place to live and defend the place as a nice place to live. Examples:
Respondents have to start each sentence with a word that begins with a specific letter (first "a", then "b", etc.), then the next person creates a sentence beginning with the next letter. For example:
Put everyday items into a bag and let each speaker select an item to discuss. However, the year is 2525 and the speaker is an archeologist. From that perspective, explain what the item was used for in the year 2005.
Each speaker tells about a time (real or imagined, but preferably real) when they ran into a celebrity.
Check the TV listings to see what the topics are on OPRAH, Dr. PHIL, MAURY, MONTEL, JERRY SPRINGER, etc. Each speaker discusses a topic.
Use a round-robin approach for table topics. Going around the room, every willing Toastmaster or guest continues a story from the last word uttered by the person preceding them. Each person must speak for a set amount of time, and a bell is rung when that time is up indicating the person must stop speaking mid-sentence. Normally a story is introduced by the Table Topics Master, and each respondent adds to the story ensuring continuity between responses.
The concept I tried to convey in a recent Table Topics session was that it is very important to capture and secure the attention of your audiences at the very beginning of any presentation. What I did was have the Table Topics respondents do just the introductions for various topics I gave them with the focus on being dramatic, unusual, humorous or different. We also do storytelling, or pulling a word out of a bag and commenting on it and things of that nature.
Names of celebrities, politicians or other figures are used as questions and respondents must use gestures as emphatically as possible to convince the audience they are in fact the person in question.
Give the respondent an article of clothing, and ask them to describe the situation they last wore it in.
Ask each respondent to describe a scene as a news reporter, and note the difficulty people have with switching roles to an area they're probably not familiar with.
Select an appropriate setting for each Table Topics respondent, then ask them to make an appropriate toast for the occasion. Examples:
Celebrity magazines or popular internet sites often run photos of celebrities before they became famous (e.g., from high school yearbooks, or even police mug shots!). Bring a set of these photos to the Club meeting. Table Topics respondents will try to explain who they think the famous person in the photo is and why, and also share what they know or think about the famous person.
Everyone has a baby picture … stored somewhere. For this Table Topics session, Club members are asked to bring in their baby pictures or photos of themselves from early childhood. Table Topics respondents are given a photo to peruse, and then tell the audience who they think the person in the photo is and, more importantly, why. An alternative approach – and one that requires less effort and less cooperation from Club members – is to bring a set of Baby Pictures of famous celebrities and give each Table Topic respondent a chance to peruse the photo and to explain who the famous celebrity is and why (Celebrity baby photos are published in a lot of popular internet sites or in celebrity magazines).
We recently had a member who, when they served as Table Topics Master, used quotations from a variety of Shakespeare plays as the basis for Table Topics questions. It was unique and everyone got involved.
Celebrity magazines, fashion magazines and popular internet sites often run photos of celebrities (who are usually appearing on a red carpet) who have dressed-up special for some awards show. Bring a set of these photos to the Club meeting. Table Topics respondents will try to explain whether the celebrity was a "fashion hit" or a "fashion miss." Some of these celebrities often go "over the top" with their fashion choices, so this Table Topics theme can generate a lot of laughs.
Have each Toastmaster roast the person next to them for an accomplishment specified by the Table Topics Master. To give meeting attendees an idea of how to properly roast a person, this Table Topics session might follow the Project Speeches, where one of the speakers completed Project #3 ("The Roast") in the "Special Occasion Speeches" Advanced Manual.
One of the Table Topics themes that worked really well in my club was the one when I asked my fellow Toastmasters to talk about their favorite entertainers and what techniques they can adopt to their own speeches that would mimic the entertainers they admire.
Give each Toastmaster a word or phrase and ask them to speak on it WITHOUT using the word or its variations, WITHOUT grunting with ums or uhs, or repeating themselves. If the speaker does any of these, the audience must scream out for them to sit down immediately.
Provide an interesting opening line to a story, and ask Toastmasters to finish it.
Each respondent is given one line and asked to weave a story from it. Here are several story lines to use:
Bring a bag of pennies or other coins. Each respondent pulls a coin from the bag and talks about the mint year stamped on the coin. It could be something in history, or something that happened to the respondent, during that year.
Noah is about to embark on his ark and there is room for only one more pair of animals. Each speaker selects a piece of paper. On it is printed the name of an animal. The speaker then 'becomes' that animal and makes a case for why s/he and his/her mate should be selected for that last vacancy. They are NOT to give the name of their animal. Some ideas are peacock, hippopotamus, rattlesnake, kangaroo, mouse, and alligator. The pair of speakers who are voted "Best Table Topics Speakers" get to sail on the Ark!
Have a small box with an item in it. Have each Toastmaster open the box and describe what is in the box without telling everyone what is in the box. What is in the box? A mirror.
Ask the participant to describe his/her life if he/she was an object, i.e., a mirror, a table, a chair, a briefcase, a door, etc
Pretend you are new to the city or town where your Club meets, and ask the Table Topics respondent, "I' m new to [this City] , and even then don't have a lot of time to find my way around. Could you please help me by sharing your favorite local restaurants and other fun spots."
Table Topics questions are created which revolve around this interrogatory phrase, "Which is your favorite ….?" Possibilities for "favorite places" include:
Restaurant, Bar, Night Club, Sporting venue; Way of traveling; Book store; Park; Place to spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon; Place to unwind on a Friday night; Place to take a visitor
The Table Topics Master comes prepared with only one key question, which relates to the theme of "vacations," but is ready to ask follow-up questions based on the same theme. The answer to the first question becomes the basis for formulating a question to a second respondent; and, the answer to the second question becomes the basis for formulating a question to a third respondent; and, so on and so forth. In the example of the "vacations" theme, depending on the answer to the previous question, the questions that follow might be:
"How do we go", "How long do we stay", "How do we spend the time there", "How do we pay for that", etc. Each respondent must take into account the answers of previous respondents.
Pose a question, ask one person to support the view, another to rebut it. You may like to alternate for several pairs, or pick a different topic for each pair. Suggested topics could come from the local press or the national press. Remember if you use debates, you are seeking both sides of the story – emphasize this in your introductory remarks.
The theme at one meeting of our Club was "beach party." We had name tags made out of paper in the shape and artwork of watermelon; Beach Boys music being played before and after the meeting; and beach paraphernalia ranging from beach towels, balls and water guns spread across the whole room. For the Table Topics, the Table Topics Master used the beach materials in the room as well as sea shells with subject labels ranging from surfing to nude beach colonies.
The Table Topics Master says, "I guess as we get older the past seems to be more exciting just because there is more of it, but there are some things that can only happen once, and I would like you to recall some of the firsts in your life. Do you remember:
From time to time, we need to think creatively to get out of a tight spot. If you found yourself in this situation, how would you respond?:
Use questions only while telling a story. Examples of story to be told in this manner include:
The only rule for Table Topics respondents is that they must tell these stories by using strings of questions.
Have a collection of picture postcards available for this group. Then ask Table Topics respondents various questions that involve postcards. Examples include:
Now provide each Table Topics respondent with a picture post card and ask her why she would like to visit that place. (Do this several times with a variety of cards.)
Other applications for picture post cards (ask the same question to each participant, just change the card):
One time when I was the Table Topics Master I used the "Stand Up and Speak" Table Topics Game cards I purchased at last year's District 46 Fall Conference Resource Center. These cards are created and produced by Toastmasters International (TI) and can also be purchased from them directly either through the TI website (www.toastmasters.org) or through the TI Supply Catalog. With the pack that I purchased, the cards consist of pictures only. I had each Table Topics respondent select their own card (instead of me choosing the card) and they had to speak about the picture that was portrayed on the card they selected.
Another time when I was the Table Topics Master I used the questions to a game I have had buried in my closet. The name of the game is called "Scruples." The questions consisted of scenarios and the person would have to answer "Yes" or "No," and provide the reason why.
Each speaker is required to tell an amazing story about themselves. The members then vote for each speaker as having told the truth or not. The speaker who fooled the most people either way, wins the ribbon for Best Table Topics.
Bring a camcorder to the meeting and pick members at random. Have each stand up, and, under the glare of the camera lights, grill the member about the "terrible" thing he or she did. Interview each member for 1 minute, then play back the tape.
Have each member write down, on a piece of paper, the job that they would consider the best job in the world for them. Then pass the papers to the person on the left. Call on members to stand and explain why the job on the paper in front of them is the best job in the world.
Recently, the Table Topics Master was absent from my Club meeting and the suggestion was made that the Table Topics respondents would be provided a number at random and asked to speak about that number. The member that won "Best Table Topics" that night spoke about the number "eight."
He shared a complete story from his time in college ... and ended his Table Topic response by telling us that his Mathematics professor, who had a heavy European accent, told him that his eights looked like they had "Crashed into the wall." We all thought that was pretty hilarious.
List a number of educational classes on a board. Each speaker picks one of the classes and explains why that class is the most important class to take to round out an education. Once used, the class is "removed" from the board.
Make a list of "accomplishments" (best underwater basketweaver, best nuclear power plant designer, best TV remote control switcher, etc.) and print them on pieces of paper. For each "award" listed on the piece of paper, the Table Topics Master calls on two respondents to come forward. The first respondent reads the "award" printed on the slip of paper and then for 1-2 minutes "presents the award" to the second respondent. Then, the second respondent is asked to deliver a 1-2 minute speech where he or she "accepts" the award. To give meeting attendees an idea of how to present or accept an award, this Table Topics session might follow the Project Speeches, where two speakers, working in tandem, completed Project #4 ("Presenting an Award") and Project #5 ("Accepting An Award") in the "Special Occasion Speeches" Advanced Manual.
Tie your Table topics to the evening's theme. Our Club had a meeting with this theme "Dealing with it." I pasted situations on the back of playing cards which ended with the phrase "Deal with it." For example: You enter a room and reach in to turn on the light switch. Suddenly your arm is grabbed by a six fingered furry hand which you realize isn't human. Deal with it.
One Club tied its Table Topics session around the popular TV show, "X Files." Table Topics respondents had to discuss various scenarios which were "bizarre." For example: God has an infomercial on channel one.
Each respondent receives a sheet of paper on which children had drawn weird pictures. The papers might be borrowed from a friend who teaches elementary school art. Respondents are asked to be "90 second art critics" and to discuss the significance of the work.
A recent Table Topic at our club was one of the best we have ever seen. Our member handed out small plastic containers with cotton wool soaked in a scent (dettol, perfume, etc.) and asked the participants what memories this scent evoked. One member said the dettol reminded him of boot camp! A really worthwhile Table Topics and well worth a try.
At the meeting closest to Valentines Day, the Topics Master brings red carnations. Pairs of people were asked to participate instead of individuals. The first man was asked to play the role of "Antony" and give the carnation to his "Cleopatra" along with a suitable declaration of love. "Cleopatra" then had to reciprocate and present a carnation to him.
The structure and setup was the same for this theme as it was for Valentine's Day Theme Idea #1. However the theme here was NOT Antony and Cleopatra. Rather the theme was 3rd graders who are constantly tormenting each other, but secretly like each other.
The structure and setup was the same for this theme as it was for Valentine's Day Theme Idea #1. However the theme here was NOT Antony and Cleopatra. Rather the theme was a couple just celebrating their 50th Valentines Day together.
The structure and setup was the same for this theme as it was for Valentine's Day Theme Idea #1. However the theme here was NOT Antony and Cleopatra. Rather the theme was a father to his very young daughter.
"Let's use swimming as an analogy for Table Topics. A person can always read about the techniques of swimming or read from a Toastmasters manual about the strategies in dealing with Table Topics questions. But until a person tries the first stroke in the water or stands up at the podium to utter the first word, no progress may be made towards the final goal of self-improvement. Since I joined Toastmasters, I have visited about 50+ Toastmasters clubs mostly in the NYC area that include the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens. In most of the clubs that I have visited, I was given the chance to speak at Table Topics and considering that I have visited over 50 clubs, that means speaking spontaneously at least 40 times in a matter of two months. It took a lot of stamina and courage because the audiences were often new people whom I have never met before, but I started getting used to a lot of strange stares and looks. The experience strengthened me as a Toastmaster to stand and speak in front of strangers, which is normally the case when a person is asked to give a keynote speech in front of a new audience."
The Topics Master asks everyone to sit on the floor in the center of the room, or on chairs brought to the center. All the lights are turned off and a flashlight is used to simulate a campfire. The Topics Master give the titles and participants tell campfire stories.
Presumably to get practice on how to effectively open a speech, participants are asked to give the opening of a speech, with the speech topic briefly described by the Topics Master.
Presumably to get practice on how to effectively close a speech, participants are asked to give the closing of a speech, with the speech topic briefly described by the Topics Master.
At one Club meeting, held the week when the Olympic torch was to past through our city, our Table Topics Master created a paper/cardboard Olympic torch. In place of the flames, paper "flames" were made containing different subjects about the Olympics. These ranged from the economic impact the Games would have on our city to why frog jumping should be an Olympic sport.
Collect some products off the grocery shelf or hardware store. Each TT speaker selects one of the items out of a bag and has to do a TV commercial on that product.
Your Club might use the local transit system (LIRR, MetroNorth, NJ Transit, PAT, NYCTA, etcl) as a Table Topics theme. All Table Topic questions would relate to the public transportation system, i.e., a typical question might be 'What would you do to improve the Sunday bus service?'
Have each member write down on a piece of paper, the job that they would consider the worst job in the world for them. Then pass the papers to the person on the left. Call on members to stand and explain why the job on the paper in front of them is the worst job in the world.
Toastmasters International makes available for sale through its Supply Catalog a variety of Table Topics Question materials in the catalog, including 2 sets of questions/materials for table topics. You might want to check it out.
Hold an auction. Each member brings a "white elephant" from home to sell ... or come prepared to offer a service. Each member then auctions off his or her item/service. It makes for a fun session. In addition, if you belong to a community Club in need of money, it is also a great fund-raiser.
If there are people in your club born in different areas (and/or different countries), try this: "What do people think they know about your birthplace that isn't true?"
The Topics Master at our last meeting introduced some Zen-like topics, i.e. What is the difference between a stream, a creek and a river? Why is the deer on the deer-crossing sign along the highway always facing left? (And the all-time favorite) What is the significance of life? Why are we here? Our club had great fun with these.
"Suppose you could go back in time and talk to yourself at the age of ten. What advice would you give yourself?"
One of our newer members came up with a really fun idea. She started by telling us she was in charge of Marketing at a new corporation, and was hiring sales people. She asked everyone called upon to demonstrate their sales techniques, and 'sell' the produce to the audience. She then handed them an envelope with an item in it. A few of the items were a pocket knife, a needle threader, and a 'Great Job' pin. – Suggested by "Sharon," member of Last Word Toastmasters
In December, your Club might decide to have a Christmas or Holiday theme meeting with a gift exchange. During Table Topics, each respondent picks a wrapped gift from under the "tree" and explains why he (she) thinks this is the most wonderful gift in the world.
One Table Topic approach I like is a variation of "Win, Lose, or Draw." Write a down a thing, idea, phrase, or whatever for each of your table topics questions. Call up one person, show them the concept and give them one minute (or less) to try to draw something that represents that thing or concept. Then call a second person to speak for 1 to 2 minutes on what was drawn (they don't know what the thing you wrote down was). If you wish you can have the audience guess what the thing was. This is a fun way to add a twist on to Table Topics.
It is appropriate to end this list of 101 Ideas for Great Table Topics with perhaps one of the most reliably effective Table Topics theme around. Before the meeting, the Table-Topics Master purchases a bag of Chinese fortune cookies from a specialty grocery store. During the Table Topics session, each respondent picks a fortune cookie from the bag and uses the "fortune" or message inside as the topic to talk about. This theme can be used at any time of the year, or even at a Chinese New Year theme meeting. Some say the best feature of this concept is that afterwards the respondent gets to eat their fortune cookie.
This modest little document grew out of the Fall 2005 District 46 Conference workshop, and is intended to help Table Topics Masters and other Club officers with themes and topics for questions. The ideas are drawn from my files and from other sources, including from Toastmasters around the world. However, I am very much indebted to the Toastmasters from District 46 listed below who contributed their ideas to this list of 101 Ideas for Great Table Topics. These ten Toastmasters attended the Fall 2005 District 46 Conference workshop on Table Topics and later sent me great themes and topics for inclusion:

'It's Not a Performance – I'M Just Playing Records'
By Mark Hughes
"Probably my prize possession," is how Guy Garvey describes it. But, surprisingly, the lead singer of Elbow isn't talking about the Mercury Prize his band picked up last month. It's his BBC security pass he is referring to. Since April 2007, Garvey, while making music with his band, has also been a radio presenter. Every Sunday night between 10pm and midnight, the airwaves of BBC's 6Music have been home to Guy Garvey's Finest Hour.
"It's me playing my favourite records, encouraging listeners to send me recommendations, telling stories and interviewing some of my favourite musicians. I wouldn't say it's easy, but it's getting easier. It doesn't feel like work, put it that way."
That simple format has won Garvey a band of loyal followers. He pre-records the show, but says there are usually 150 emails waiting for him at the Manchester studio each week. "It's international, too," he explains. "We get people writing in from the US, Australia, you name it."
Garvey had been complacent when he had his first taste of radio. "I was filling in for Marc Riley when he was on holiday and I thought it would be easy-peasy: just turn up with a box of records and crack on. But it was quite tricky and it ended up with me playing a load of records and saying 'erm' a lot," he remembers.
"It gave me the bug, though, and I asked if I could have another go. This time I prepared for ages. Then a mate of mine who was a senior executive at Xfm asked if I'd like my own show, three or four times a week. I said I'd love it, but I was too busy with the band. He asked what would make me do it, and I said that in an ideal world I'd like a little Sunday evening show where I could play the records I wanted and interview who I wanted to. Amazingly, he said yes."
Garvey was at Xfm for a year before defecting to the BBC. "It's somewhere I'd always wanted to work," he explains. "I grew up listening to people like Janice Long and John Peel. I also like Mark Radcliffe, Marc Riley and Stuart Maconie. These are the guys I've taken inspiration from. Marc Riley is the most amazing broadcaster, the closest thing we've had to John Peel, and now I work alongside him he's become a mate, although he gets annoyed when I leave the desk untidy."
During his year and a half with 6 Music, Garvey's show has slowly taken on a formula that sees him find a weekly theme – such as the planets. He also plays five listeners' requests and conducts a telephone interview with a musician.
"Because I'm a music geek, all of my personal music collection is in AIFF (audio interchange file format) which is a good thing because I've since found out that you are not allowed to play MP3s on the radio," he says. "During the week, I think about what songs I want to play and then burn them all on to CDs. I turn up with about twice as much music as I need, so I can play what I want as the mood takes me.
He also has a drinks routine. "During the first hour I always have an energy drink next to me in case I get tired. After I've recorded the first hour, the technical guys send that down to London and I go outside for a fag. Half way through the second hour I'll pour myself a large brandy and open a beer."
While his alternative career as a radio DJ is flourishing, Garvey's main role is that of Elbow front man. He insists that the two dovetail nicely.
"The reason people like the show is because I play decent music, but also because I can tell them things about the music industry. When a band plays in America the first thing they should do is duplicate their equipment because it's cheaper to buy a whole new kit than have your existing stuff shipped over. It's something a lot of music fans don't know, so I can benefit the listeners in that way. But they help me, too. I get people recommending bands I've never heard of and it is influencing the music I write," he says.
"It's very different from getting on stage. Sometimes you have to play a gig when you don't feel like it, but you still have to perform. With radio, there is no element of performance. It's just me sitting down and playing some records. I still get the same nervous feeling sometimes, though."
