Top 10 Starbucks Secret Menu Items

1 2

Why it is a secret, I don’t know, but never mind that now. Concern yourself instead with ten of the best Starbucks Secret Drinks…

1. Raspberry Caramel Macchiato

Raspberry Caramel MacchiatoA Raspberry Caramel Macchiato has the same makeup as a regular Caramel Macchiato, but subs raspberry syrup for the vanilla syrup found on the bottom of the drink. That one substitute gives the drink a completely different flavor as you might imagine.

2. Liquid Cocaine

Liquid CocaineNot actually cocaine but I would imagine almost as good.

4 shots of espresso and 4 pumps of white chocolate syrup over ice in a grande cold cup.

No milk is involved so it’s pure caffeine and sugar guaranteed to keep you buzzing all day.

3. Strawberry Lemonade

Strawberry LemonadeIf you are shaking and with headache then it’s probably time for a Starbuck’s Secret Strawberry Lemonade.

A sexy pink strawberry slush that will leave you calm and collected.

4. The Undertow

The UndertowNot a sexual act but 3 pumps of your favourite syrup (vanilla suggested) in a tall cup with a splash of milk and two shots of espresso floating on top. The idea is to drink it quickly so you get the kick of espresso first, then the cool milk and syrup through the middle.

5. The Dirty Chai

The Dirty ChaiIt’s no wonder they keep this one secret – it’s filthy!

A shot of espresso blended into your chai tea for that extra kick. One not enough? Then invited another shot of espresso to the party.

Top Ten List of Undateable People on Facebook

1 2

The digital age provides us plenty of opportunities to meet people and strengthen connections online. But sometimes, we see a different side of people online: the undateable side.

Need proof that finding your soul made on Facebook isn’t a good idea? Our Friends at Top 10 List took the liberty of finding some pretty ridiculous posts on Facebook from people who were single and for good reason. You know, the kind that make you scroll back and say “Seriously?!”.

More Info about the Largest Social Networking Site:

It’s weird, I know, but FB is like peanut butter and jelly: you must be some sort of freak if you’ve never tried it. (OK, or you have some severe allergy, but that doesn’t fit with my analogy so let’s move on.) Facebook is at the epicenter of our generation’s world, so anyone who isn’t on there is weird, right? I mean, how do you live without Facebook?

Matthew Myron, an author who recently wrote and did research on online privacy, has gone as far as to argue that not being on Facebook is like social suicide. ”Many people feel they have to be a part of Facebook to socialize. Such sites are the modern equivalent of a mobile phone. They have grown into fashion accessories and they are a must-have for people who don’t want to be social outcasts.”

Myron argues in regards to status updates and wall posts, but there is more to his argument than what meets the eye. When people have parties, they invite guests through Facebook. When people have birthdays, we send them messages (and are automatically notified) on Facebook. When people have anything to say, we say it all on Facebook.

And when someone doesn’t have Facebook, we think they are freaks hiding something.

Are those things even replacements for in-person chats or phone call conversations that are yesterday’s news?  Is someone’s profile a good way to judge him/her as being a social suicide freak? Probably not, but that is how we roll in “generation me” and anyone who is not a part of that will be left behind and out of the know when it comes to weekend ragers.

We may not want to admit it, but Facebook is a huge part of us and our our social lives. Not being on there might be worse for your social status than being “that girl” at a party or for every other Facebook hater. Or even being that annoying status updater who lets everyone know where they are at every possible second/puts up ambiguous statements that are just begging for attention. Ugh, those people are annoying.

The question that this article tries to ask: are people using Facebook to much? are they making themselves look like freaks? Will it make a difference if someone has Facebook or not? Truthfully, someone who is an outcast in real life, may well be an outcast on Facebook.

 

1.The Self-Loather

The Self-LoatherNothing is less attractive than someone who has absolutely no confidence and is tirelessly lamenting their life and relationship status. It’s that whole mom-endorsed “you can’t love anybody until you love yourself” truism. Being honest is an attribute, but I don’t think that includes waxing on about your jaundice or crippling loneliness.

 

2. The Conspiracy Theorist

Conspiracy TheoristWouldn’t you like a steamy date with boy-who-cried-fake-wolf, Alex Jones? Last week he filled the douchebag throne in the wake of the horrific Boston bombings. This is the type of dude that would check your criminal records  and square footage with the DateCheck app. There’s a place and time for people who constantly question accepted truths, but they are not “now” and “in your bed”.

 

3. The Constant Sarcastic

Constant SarcasticApathy and sarcasm look really cute at first, but after six months, man, that’s gonna wear you down. Statuses like these are often accompanied by live reenactments of Seinfeld episodes and dispassionate views about ice cream and soon, your entire relationship.

 

4. The Quotidian

QuotidianOh, minutiae! 2:43: Looks down at feet. 2:44: Thinks about typing. 2:45: Types a little more of this article. 2:46: Decides to get the hell out of this relationship.

 

5. The Casual Misogynist

MisogynistI am so happy this person finally made it to the internet so that I could approach them for a date. I have a feeling like he will respect me and enjoy my company a lot. Because I am a woman.

Top Ten Car Insurance Companies

A car insurance company and its policy protects people  you the financial damage of a car accident, especially if you are at fault. There’s more to every car insurance policy, however, than just accident protection.

A car insurance policy can  also assist you with roadside assistance, usually for a very small additional  fee. This can assist you in urgent need, especially when you have a flat tire to a dead battery or need help getting locked-in keys out of the car. For those without roadside assistance elsewhere, this option adds value to an insurance policy and is often cheaper than a similar plan elsewhere.

Covering Personal Property Everywhere

Car insurance and home insurance can be combined to provide comprehensive coverage. While a car insurance policy provides very little coverage for personal property that is stolen in the vehicle, a home insurance policy can assist you in filling in the gaps that car insurance policy missed. So while the car policy looks after all of that broken window, the home insurance can replace all the valuables that were lost.

About the 10 Best Insurance Companies

Knowing you have selected a good car insurance company gives you peace of mind you will want before you get in an accident, have your car stolen, or encounter any situations that involve you having to make a claim. You don’t want to find out too late that your car insurance provider isn’t up to par.

This Top 10 list contains the top ten best auto insurance companies based on affordability, value of services, and revenues. Because, after all, what good is having a rock bottom rate if you don’t get enough in return or can’t get the help you need when you need it.

Car Insurance Companies

Tips to Lower Insurance:

1. Get a quote and apply online:

Auto insurance coverage may be standard throughout your province or state, but insurance premiums are  whole different ball game. Coverage from one company to the next varies, sometimes by the hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. The only way to make sure you are getting the best price for your policy is to compare, compare, compare. The way to compare is to do it online.

It’s a common myth to think that all car insurance companies rate the same. This leads a lot of people to think that with their particular situation, be it a ticket, an accident, or status as a new driver, they can’t get a better rate anywhere else. Car insurance companies all have their own system of rating a policy, and each gives a different amount of rate to the various factors that go into determining premiums. That means shopping around can benefit just about anyone.

 

2. Make sure all your cars are on the same policy:

Many insurance companies offer “Multi-vehicle discount” for customers who insure more than one car on the same policy. This can bring you large savings for all cars that are insured under one policy.

 

3. Insure both your car and home with the same company:

As we mentioned this before, it may be a wise idea to insurance both the home and the car together. Many insurance companies offer this savings as an incentive to get your property insurance business too. It’s all legal and a very great way to get another discount off your premiums.

 

4. Increase your deductibles:

On the surface, this works well. If you increase your deductible, your premiums (the amount you pay each month/quarter/year) will go down, meaning your monthly bills are lower. You can chip hefty percentages from your insurance bill just by making this move.

The first thing to note here is that the purpose of insurance is to insure that you’ll survive financially due to an unforeseen event. We don’t have homeowner’s insurance because it’s fun – we have it because it will help us start over with a new home should our house burn to the ground. Without it, most of us would financially sink. The same goes for renter’s insurance – it’d be tough to lose all of your possessions in a fire without any way to recover. Again, with automobile insurance – if you total your car without insurance, you might be sitting holding just a car loan and nothing to show for it.

Obviously, if you have a ton of money, insurance on smaller things is a lot less important. People with huge bankrolls have no need to carry full insurance on their cars – they just cover the parts that might worry them or that they’re legally required to cover.

 

5. Accident Forgiveness  Does Not Mean You’ll Never Pay an Increase.

Accident forgiveness is a great way to avoid an insurance increase for your first accident. But you have to remember that it has limitations. All insurance companies have situations that are excluded from the forgiveness program. And if you switch insurance companies, that forgiveness won’t come with you – the new insurance company may charge you for an at fault accident that is on your record.

 

6. Drive carefully:

Your driving record is one of the best indicators in determining your insurance rate. Tickets affect your insurance rates for up to 3 years and accidents stay on your record for at least another 3 after that! With a bad driving record, you can find yourself paying a lot of extra premium over the years.

 

7. Drive a “low-risk” car:

Putting your money in a low risk investment  should be on everyone’s minds these days. Of course, you didn’t fail to look at bank savings deposits, fixed income bonds, money market accounts, bank deposits, mutual funds and even blue chip stocks as your options. However, if you want to consider long term gains and savings, you need to look at other types of low risk vehicles that most investors fail to think about.

 

8. Don’t drive to work:

The more you are on the road, the higher your chances of getting in an accident. Insurance rates are higher for people who commute to work. So taking the bus or sharing a ride will not only help you save on parking and gas, but will help lower your insurance premiums.

 

9. New driver? Take a driver’s training course.

Licensed drivers who have completed an approved drivers training course in the last 3 years pay lower premiums. Safer drivers pay lower insurance rates.

 

10. Have an anti-theft device installed in your car.

Insurances are not stupid. They recognize it when your car is less likely to be stolen if you have an anti-theft device installed in your vehicle. Check to see if your company offers this “Alarm or anti-theft discount” and consider if the price of the technology is worth the added savings. If you already have an approved, factory-installed alarm in your car, we will take this into account when determining your rate.

Top 10 Embarrassing Moments of George Costanza

1 2

Seinfeld was not just a sitcom about nothing, it was a show about norm that were different from the ones we see in real life. The series was a 22-minute weekly discourse on the unwritten rules that guide social interaction. Some topics of interaction were: After how many dates are you obligated to break up? Which calls are too important to be made on cell phone? How to dip a chip? How long can you abstain from from having sex? How old do you have to be to work in a theater.

Seinfeld‘s depiction of reality was frequently controversial, and that is already an understatement. The same can be said of behavioral science research, as with the dozens of studies that have documented bystander apathy during emergencies. Being in a hurry, being distracted, being in the presence of other people whom we assume will take care of our issues… there is a wide range of circumstances that render individuals-yes, you and me included-less likely to get involved in the affairs of others.

So it goes on Seinfeld as well. From George knocking down a grandmother in a walker to escape a house fire  to Kramer, Jerry, and Elaine trying to force-feed crackers into a man’s mouth when he is passed out, causing him to have a stroke, the show’s characters repeatedly epitomize humanity’s ability to perform below expectation just when the stakes are too high. While the series finale was critiqued by many, it was quite fitting that the last plotline of the show would hinge on the quartet’s brazen indifference to a carjacking, once again focusing on the darker side of human nature.

Who is George Costanza?

George Louis Costanza is my favourte fictional character on the United States-based television sitcom, Seinfeld (1989-1998), and was played by by the famous Jason Alexander (not to be confused with the guy who married Britney Spears). He has variously been described as a “short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man” (by Elaine Marie Benes and himself), “Lord of the Idiots” (by Costanza himself), and as “the greatest sitcom character of all time”.

He is crazy, self-loathing, and is frequently pressured by his parents, Frank and Estelle. He has been best friends with Jerry Seinfeld since their middle school years, and that has led them down a path, that shall not ever be taken – by anyone.

Cannot forget the countless negative character traits he displayed; among them stinginess, dishonesty, insecurity, and neurosis. Many of these traits form the basis of the show -”about nothing”. Episode plots frequently feature George manufacturing elaborate deceptions at work or in his relationships in order to gain or maintain some small or imagined advantage. George appears in every single episode except for “The Pen” in the third season.

Top Ten Cars for 2013

We are never happy with what we bought, we keep comparing our possessions to others’ and what they bought after you. Or, better yet, we’re always looking to the future for bigger, better and faster things, and cars are no different.

So far, there are literally dozens of cars for the 2013 model year that are tickling our collective fancies.One such example is the Mercedes Benz SLS. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has been the apex of the luxury automaker’s sports car lineup since 2011. In 2012, Mercedes released the GT variant of the SLS AMG as the official safety car in the Belgian Grand Prix. The GT variant was a highly desired car, but Mercedes did not offer it up to retail customers.

That was until now, as Mercedes announced it will offer up this model to the public for the first time. What’s more is that Mercedes has also released the official details on this all-new variant of the famed SLS AMG. Being the official F1 safety car, the 571 ponies that the standard SLS AMG’s 6.3-liter V-8 pumps out just won’t cut it, so we will see a nice boost in this variant’s powerplant.

The following infographic explore Top 10 cars for 2013. Top Picks are as close as it gets to no-brainers in the auto market. They’re impressive all-round vehicles, chosen from more than 280 recently tested by Consumer Reports that have excelled in the tests, are reliable, and have performed well in independent crash tests. Top Picks must meet Consumer Reports criteria in three areas: road test, reliability, and safety.

So without further ado let’s look at the World’s Top Ten Cars in pictures.

Top 10 Cars of 2013
http://www.motorscore.com/top-ten-2013/

What’s Important?

- Look

Probably the most shocking thing of 2013 is that most of the nicest cars for 2013 are reminiscent of sports cars. Many of the cars last year were similar to old muscle cars or focused on fuel efficiency. Now car manufacturers are trying to bring both worlds together, showing car owners that they can have sleek looking cars that are also friendly on the highway. Previously the only way you were going to have a powerful, fuel efficient vehicle was to purchase it in Europe. Now, many of these concepts are coming to the US car market!

-  Efficiency

Of course, fuel efficiency was taken into account with the nicest cars for 2013 list. Many of these cars get amazing fuel efficiency for their type of vehicle. Most car owners want cars that are cost efficient, but still are quite powerful on the highway. Now, car owners can enjoy the benefit of having beautiful cars that are also fuel efficient. Quite a few manufacturers are expected to bring this idea even further in 2014, making electric cars that have this same look, or making some of their more popular sports cars even more fuel efficient. If you are looking a brand new car, 2013 is definitely the year to do it!

There are a lot of questions involved in the process of buying a car, but the first, simplest one is probably the most important: Should you buy new or used? To help you choose, we’ve laid out the advantages of both below. Keep in mind that although there are more advantages listed on the new side, the pros in the used column are big ones and in many cases can be more to your advantage.

ADVANTAGES OF BUYING NEW

Made to Order — Chances are, you can customize the specs of your new car just the way you want it or at least have the dealer search for one with the right options and interior and exterior colors that fits your needs.

Warranty — Like the rest of it, the new car comes with a warranty that is simply untouched. You can buy warranties for used cars or go the certified preowned route, but the best warranty you can get—without paying  any extras—will be the one that comes with a new car from the manufacturer.

Latest Gizmos — The newer the car, the more modern the technology with be  packed inside. Multimedia and navigation interfaces are constantly evolving and improving, so if you have to have the latest in gadgets the selection does not get any better than in the new-car showroom.

Safety — As vehicle safety laws become ever more picky, automakers have no choice but to change the way vehicles are constructed and manufactured and the safety systems with which they are equipped. Other technologies that are not mandated, like blind-spot monitoring systems, side curtain airbags, adaptive cruise control, and brake assist are becoming more prevalent on less expensive vehicles as their associated costs come down. This may not be readily available on used cars.

Higher Fuel Efficiency and Lower Emissions —Cars are increasingly becoming more fuel efficient, even while simultaneously getting more powerful. The newest crop of diesels is cleaner than ever before, and choices in the hybrid segment are augmenting, too, if that’s your thing.

Maintenance — Some new cars, mainly those from luxury marques, include free scheduled maintenance for a certain amount of time or mileage. This built-in cost saving should be considered in the final price analysis if applicable.

Legwork — Once you’ve chosen a vehicle, or at least the brand you’re interested in, much of the new-car search can be offloaded on the salesperson, who can find the car you ask for. The same search in the used realm requires a lot more legwork on your part—hunting on the internet, visiting multiple private sellers, and driving from used lot to used lot.

Top 10 List of Futuristic Concept Cars

1 2

Explore how automakers have advanced today’s notions of design, performance and technology and applied each to the luxury vehicles of tomorrow in this special feature article – top 10 innovative and futuristic car concepts.

1.  2012 Fisker Karma

2012 Fisker Karma

Justin Bieber was presented with one of these beauties for his 18th birthday on the Ellen DeGeneres show. He followed in the footsteps of Leonardo DiCaprio, who was the first celebrity to buy the first 2012 Fisker Karma. A solar panel roof, 250 mile range, 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds and a sleek exterior to drool over are all wrapped cleverly into this nice work of car art and punctuated with a $90,000 USD starting price sticker. The Fisker Karma is able to go 50 miles on all electric charge and then carries on an additional 300 miles on fossil fuel, while still being able to achieve an admirable 100 miles per gallon. Its trademaked EVer technology uses an electric generator and battery pack to power dual-electric motors without using gas to drive the wheels. The car operates in two modes: stealth mode, with a top speed of 95 mph and a 50 mile range, and sport mode, which uses the top speed up to 125 mph and the range to 250 miles. Definitely an awesome 18th birthday gift.

The 2012 Fisker Karma tops the list of 10 Futuristic  Cars.

 

2. Nissan Motivity 400C

Nissan Motivity 400C

This vehicle represents how designers at Nissan envision the future of automaking and I must say they see it quite interesting, to say the least. Motivity 400C is a vehicle that boasts a wide range of incredible functional features. It takes advantage of maglev’s engine system that adds more power to the car and every tire allows the driver to control the vehicle with ease. Having a triangular shape the vehicle considerably reduces air resistance when driving at great speeds and increases the car’s acceleration, thus saving a lot of power. A wonderful concept from a great carmaker.

The Nissan Motivity 400c is voted number 2 on top 10 list of  Futuristic Concept  Cars.

 

3. Bugatti 57 Atlantic

Bugatti 57 Atlantic

This is an incredible concept that was designed to focus on both the outside of the car and its performance. The design is credited to the French Designer Bruno Delussu. The front of the vehicle reminds us of Jaguar, but the rest is something car enthusiasts never seen before. The two-seater car surely looks very beautiful, but it is less likely to be developed in the near future. The concept looks so futuristic that there are two possible scenarios: whether it will still remain a concept or it will be produced in the next century. The designer gave us a hint- as long as we can imagine, he can create and design whatever he wants.

The Bugatti 57 Atlantic arrives at number 3 on top 10 list Futuristic  Cars.

 

4. Terrena

Terrena

This model was designed to be able to pass through different types of terrain found in America. Terrene features a unique tire mechanism that is able to adapt the dimensions of the vehicle to a variety of terrain types, which makes it possible for the user to drive safely in various conditions. The reduced height of the vehicle along with a large wheel diameter improves Terrena’s functionality. The car also boasts integrated sensors that signal the driver about road conditions. In case the sensors identify a good road condition the vehicle’s wheels become wide and Terrena decreases its height to become more stable, allowing you to control it easier at high speed. In addition, this futuristic concept is covered with flexible materials that have an interesting and useful feature – they “absorb” any deformations that occur as a result of impact with different objects.

The Terrena arrives at number 4 on this top 10 list of Futuristic  Cars.

 

5. BMV i8

BMW i8

February’s extremely cold weather was a blessing in disguise for EV fans, who got a  sneak peak at the i8 concept car test driving in the snow. The BMW i8 bring 349 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque to bear on the road, taking the vehicle from 0-62 mph in just under five seconds seconds and shooting forward at a max of 155 mph. The all-electric driving range is about 20 miles, and the ideal fuel efficiency is around 94 mpg.

Maybe it is time to leave the city as the BMW says and Escape the restrictions of everyday life. The BMW i8 was made to become an icon of progress. It combines the energizing performance of a sports car with benchmark efficiency.

The sporting character continues into the interior. Boasting a driver-focused environment unmatched by any BMW Group vehicle before it, the BMW i8 Concept immerses the driver fully in the unique driving experience. The BMW i8 Concept is the sports car for a new generation – pure, emotional and sustainable.

The design of the BMW i8 Concept is as special as the car’s overall concept embodying the perfect synthesis of technology and aesthetic allure. Its sweeping lines and flat silhouette lend the vehicle a strikingly dynamic appearance even when standing still. A large, transparent greenhouse lends the exterior an extraordinary feeling of lightness and highlights the exceptional efficiency of this vehicle concept. Short front and rear overhangs round off the sporting overall impression. Despite its dynamic appearance, the 2+2-seater can accommodate four people, giving it a high degree of everyday practicality.

As with the BMW i3 Concept, layering again serves as the central design element of the interior and exterior. The individual vehicle components are also clearly visible from the outside, the black and transparent Life module clearly setting itself apart from the silver-coloured body components around it. This layering approach lends the BMW i8 Concept an extremely technical and cutting-edge appeal.

The BMV i8 arrives at number 5 on this top 10 Futuristic  Cars List.

Top Ten Restaurants Dominating the Social Media Scene

Social Media has once again proven that it is a must for companies who want to augment their brand exposure. In the food industry, this feeling is met no differently. A recent survey done by Forrester Research showed that over 90% percent of food industry executives argue that social media has completely changed the way consumers interact with their business and brand identity.

Once thought of as a bonus in the marketing departments, social media is now a must-have in today’s marketing niche, and one of the best ways to convert visitors into customers. It is estimated that approximately 20,000 businesses have a Facebook page for their products/services. With almost a billion active users on Facebook, there is the ability for companies to target nearly any consumer group. And we’re only talking about Facebook. There is also Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Digg, Google+ and others, and they all are growing in importance for companies wanting to create dynamic and interactive online brands.

This is precisely the reason many food companies have started to look at their social strategies more carefully. For example, the lead digital marketer from Sainsbury’s, a British grocery chain, claims that social media has been a great way for the company to reach out to their consumers via a more “holistic approach.” The ability for the company to have an “open dialogue” with customers gives Sainsbury’s a way to improve their business, thanks to direct feedback from customers via social media.

In all cases, and regardless of industry, it’s more than clear that social media plays a vital role in the consumer and brand identity and even helps with online reputation  management. It helps spread company news, while still keeping the company approachable in the eyes of their consumers. Moreover, companies who keep their social media accounts interactive and active, either via contests or other campaigns, usually have the best rapport with their customers and the ability to build their online reputation faster than companies that are inactive in the social media space.

Cadbury, for instance, held a special campaign called “Spots v Stripes” during the 2012 Olympics that was promoted via social media. The campaign reached over 120,000 people who participated in their specially sponsored events. This may be just one example of how a food industry based business has created a viral marketing campaign with social media, but it certainly is not the only one.

As social media continues to grow in importance, it will invariably become more and more important for brands in all industries to be engaged with consumers online. If a social media strategy is not already a necessity in the food industry (which I would argue it is), it will be soon enough for any business that wants to stay relevant in today’s marketing world.

Do consumers rely more on social media interaction than face to face?

The relationships you create on social media is big part of the face-to-face contact, just carried out through the media of Twitter, Facebook or others. Businesses need to understand that we’re talking about a conversation that needs to be fresh, innovative engaging and  more importantly argumentative— you want your reader to click on your link right after they’ve read your post. Yes, it remains very important to have the right interactions face-to-face, but the skills of the social Web can assist you make that face to face appointment. Top 10 List recommends that everyone  trains front-line employees to handle social media both with skill, politeness and an understanding that their words and actions matter – not just in person, but on the web as well.

Can a company (small or big) survive in business today without taking part in Social  Networking on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest?

They absolutely can survive, but it’s not something that Top 10 List recommends.  Retailers of all sizes need to be where their shoppers are, and today, increasingly, shoppers are on the web. Ignoring it means missing a huge communication and community vehicle, which could end up costing you shoppers.

Two other important points to consider: First, a retailer may choose not to participate on the social Web, but that does not necessarily mean they are not present on the social Web. The odds are very strong their customers and associates are talking about the company. So the only voice missing is the company’s own. Second, the social Web allows a big company to look small and local, with personalized messaging, and it allows a small company to look big by spreading out a message.

Where do you see the future of social media in the next five years? The next 10 years?

Without getting too dramatic, we believe that we are seeing a drastic change in how people and companies communicate and build community, so I think social networking and social media sites are here to stay, whether we like it or not. After all, people are social animals and this technology merely enables all of us to easily connect at a whole new level.

But we also know that change is a part of life in any area involving technology. Our networks are certainly going to become more mobile and possibly even more convenient than smart phones. Think of developments like Google Glass that stream information right as you speak. The big change I am hoping for is clear evidence of how all this networking builds sales, profits and loyalty.

And let’s not forget that even in the age of hyper-connectivity, customer service and face-to-face communication still matters. The technology is a tool that we need to use properly, but we still need to create great experiences.

Social Media Today

Have a Business?

There are no better digital tables to gather around when chatting about food than social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Google+.

Every day of the year, food is a hot topic on social sites…so your brand needs to be to the fore.

An enticing social site campaign can aid the launch of new products while special offers and competitions will drive sales as well as building the fame of your brand.

You can also use social media sites and social networking opportunities to build and manage strong relationships with your customer base.

The  Wisdek team is highly experienced at creating and delivering mouth-watering  and succulent social media campaigns that will produce the best ROI.

Top 10 iPad Apps for Teachers

1 2

Men will always look and check out a woman’s breasts, butt and legs. It’s in a man’s genes, and doing it just comes naturally. Of course, the tricky part is how to do it in a subtle manner so as not to offend the woman.

But sometimes, no matter how respectful or subtle a man can be, there are just instances when a man cannot steer his eyes away from his subject. Extremely large breasts are natural magnets for a man’s eye. Maybe, that is the reason why some women go to the extent of having implants to enhance the size and looks of their breasts.

They may have various reasons for doing so, but whether you call them fun bags, knockers, rack, boobs or whatever, here is a list of the top 10 largest breast implants in the world. Do you have any favorites? Be sure to comment in our blog section or check out our top 10 list of sexy blonde celebrities.

1. Chelsea Charms

Chelsea Charms

Normal breast enhancements usually involve around 400 to 500 cc of augmentation.

Chelsea Charms has the set the record for the biggest breast size in the world 2011 and therefore takes 1st place in the top 10 list of largest breast implants in the world.   Chelsea Charms, 35-year-old, showed off her amazing super extra large breasts with size, 164 XXX on an ITV show (see picture). Itsy and Bitsy, that’s how she calls her breasts, each weigh 13 kilograms.

Charms enlarged her breasts to attract men. No wonder, because her profession as a strip dancer and adult movie star demanded  her challenging appearance. She has secret serum that can increase the breasts size by 1 inch/month, which she used it regularly.

 

2. Sheyla Hershey

sheyla Hershey

Sheyla Hershey is a Brazilian model who lives in Houston, TX. Hershey has had over 18 separate plastic surgeries, but her major claim to fame took was in 2010 when she upgraded her cup size to KKK.

Before the procedure, Hershey’s breasts were only 34FFF.  In May of 2010, she decided to go under the knife once more because, well…that’s what she does. Unfortunately for her, Texas law limits the amount of silicone a person can put in their body, so what did Sheyla do? Why, she returned home to Brazil to have the surgery done there.

As it turns out, the Texas law was enacted for a reason. After ballooning her bosom, Sheyla suffered severe staph and strep infections for months. This led to the removal of all FOUR of her implants, and a near mastectomy!

She officially takes 2nd place on the Top 10 List of Largest Breast Implants!

 

3. Beshine

Beshine

She probably has the biggest breasts in all of Europe, and she went through the entire alphabet almost to achieve that distinction. Beshine started out as a B cup, but she now sports an amazing Z. And she loves every moment of it, as she craves for the attention even if it means getting a lot of stares and giggles. She has also become a fitness buff, regularly exercising to improve her back muscles in order for her to carry the heavy stuff up front. The only drawbacks she complains of are the lack of clothes that would fit her body and the inability to sleep on her stomach.

She officially takes 3rd place on the Top 10 List of Largest Breast Implants!

 

4. BB Gunns

BB Gunns

Chances are BB Gunns is not her real name. She officially takes 4th place on the Top 10 List of Largest Breast Implants with a breast size of 78HHH size. Then again, having a name like HHH Gunns, or Triple H Gunns, just does not flow as smoothly as BB Gunns.

Can you just imagine arriving to pick B.B. Gunns up for a date. She comes to the door in a dress cut just above her knees. Her giant boobs project out so far it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before. She reminds you of Pandora Peaks only her breasts are far larger. These must be the world’s largest breasts. Certainly some of the world’s largest breast implants. You glance at her immense cleavage. Oh how you would like to stick your hard cock between her fleshy mounds and tit fuck her all night. You head off to dinner at a nice restaurant near by.

At the restaurant, people stop eating when they see B.B Gunns. They are astonished as they’ve never seen such big breasts. But also because she is stunning and is the epitome of the amazing female form. Her womanly hips show she can bear children with ease. Her exaggerated breasts signify her ability to nourish her family to a degree no other woman can. All the men in the room desire BB Gunns huge tits. They want big boobs. Maybe their dates even have them, but not like your woman.

 

5. Busty Dusty

Busty Dusty

Busty Dusty is a retired adult film actress and exotic dancer. Her bra size was billed erroneously as a 90HHH, which is ridiculous, but her actual measurements were reported to be 54-24-34, which is way more tasteful and understated. She is most famous for engaging in threesomes, mostly with two men, during her stints as a stripper. I think that information just bumped the quadratic equation out of our heads.

She officially takes 5th place on the Top 10 List of Largest Breast Implants!
