Top Seven Life Insurance Companies For 2014
Life insurance is quite a large business niche, so there are no shortage of good companies. Still, the best life insurance companies are ranked by several entities according to quantitative and qualitative analysis, and many of the top companies show up on several lists. The following are the top seven life insurance companies for 2014.
1. State Farm
State Farm provides a wide variety of insurance vehicles for people, including life insurance. They are known for their exceptional policies all the way around, and MSN Money gives them an A++ rating overall, noting exceptional value and financial strength of the company.
A company's financial strength is definitely important when it comes to claims handling. This company has been around for a long time, and the only category in which State Farm lacked a star was customer service, though it still received a solid four stars.
2. New York Life Insurance Company
New York Life Insurance Company is another household name that provides many financial and insurance vehicles. This company is the strongest financially out of all the companies, and this is one reason why it comes in at #2.
3. USAA Life Insurance Company
This company is based out of New York and is also considered one of the best life insurance companies. USAA provides insurance vehicles to military members and their families, which has helped them gain the public's trust. They are noted for their claim handling and customer service.
4. MetLife
MetLife, while having a four star rating over all, comes in at number four. Expert analysts give MetLife an A+ rating for financial strength and value. Like State Farm, they too were given four stars for customer service.
5. Prudential
Prudential is known as "The Rock," and they have been providing life insurance policies for years. This is a company that not only has one of the best ratings but is very balanced. Across the board, concerning value, financial strength and customer service, this company ranks in between 4.5 and 5 stars.
6. Jackson National
Jackson National has an overall rating of 4.5 stars. While this name is widely-known, it's not as known as say State Farm or Prudential. Still. this company was given an A+ rating and is actually #2 on MSN Money's top life insurance companies list. For purposes of ranking in this article, it comes in at number six.
7. Northwestern Mutual
If it weren't for the four stars in customer service, this company might actually top the list. Of course a few other companies still have a longer track record than Northwestern Mutual, who was given an A++ rating. With an overall 4.5 stars, it rounds out the top seven life insurance companies for 2014.
Everyone's needs for life insurance are going to be different so your best bet is to get multiple life insurance quote from a website like www.waterwayfinancialgroup.com. While these ratings rank the best life insurance companies for 2014, you might find one of them caters to you better than another. A simple example would be your choice of one besides USAA if you are not a member of the military or a family member of someone who is or was enlisted.

Lady Gaga Wears a Semi-Normal Outfit Photo: Splash News Posted on Jan 21, 2013 @ 12:22PM 1 of 5 Someone pissed Jennifer Lopez off, and it wasn't you. That alone should brighten your Monday, because we have a feeling you do not want to be on the wrong end of J.Lo's fury. One of the biggest stories over the weekend was that Jen is terribly unhappy with her People magazine cover. (Which ironically proclaims, "I Have no Regrets!") Here, the normally glamorous J.Lo looks like she just received a jpeg of the final image, and she's shocked, just shocked! In any case, we think J.Lo is being ridiculous about the mag cover (J.Lo, it's OK! calling. You're gorgeous. Yes. No problem.) but it's kind of nice to know that even she has moments of self-doubt. Now stop feeling guilty over your morning bagel with a side of hash browns. You're only human. Photo: Splash News Posted on Jan 21, 2013 @ 12:22PM 2 of 5 The only thing that rivals a baby's face in sweetness is the way the baby's parents look while gazing at the baby. (The baby, the baby, the baby!) Especially when one of the parents is the already-adorable Drew Barrymore. The new mom glowed with pride while gazing at her baby girl, Olive, in NYC over the weekend. Photo: Splash News Posted on Jan 21, 2013 @ 12:22PM 3 of 5 Adrienne Maloof's angry face gets old fast, areweright? Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans are going to see a lot of that face tonight, so here's a pic of Happy Adrienne to counterbalance that. You're welcome. And the man making her so happy? Why, that's Sean Stewart, Rod Stewart's 32-year-old son. What do you think of Adrienne going for a younger man? There's a question to ponder this morning. It's all we can handle on a Monday. Photo: Splash News Posted on Jan 21, 2013 @ 12:22PM 4 of 5 For Lady Gaga, that is. We thought that might pique your interest in the early hours of Monday. This green-and-black ensemble is the closest to a "regular" outfit we have even seen Gaga rock. (We're ignoring the shoes, obviously.) The superstar visited Shamrock tattoo shop on Sunset Boulevard with her sister, Natali, on Sunday. No word yet on who was getting new ink, but the session took five hours Photo: Splash News Posted on Jan 21, 2013 @ 12:22PM 5 of 5 We know that the Rossdale kids are ending up on this list week after week, but we can't stop ourselves. Check out the focus on Kingston Rossdale's face. That little face, his little goggles, those little skis…we're gushing, and we don't care.

Now the bio:
Granite Bear is a member of an ancient race of warriors bears living in the snowy highlands in the higher mountain ranges of Eternia.
He belongs to the order of warriors SunMoon, the most renowned among his people, and the most feared by the enemies.
The people of the bears live almost symbiotically with another race, the Men of Ice.
This humanoid race has taught the first bears long time ago and now both races live together in a society very articulate and equal rights.
The primary task of the warriors bears is to protect all the inhabitants of the snowy mountains.
The shining armors wearing by warrior bears, are a gift of men of ice gunsmiths, grateful for the courage shown by the bears on several occasions.
The people of the snowy mountains is on good terms with the reign of King Randor.
Granite Bear often helps He-Man and the heroic warriors, when they are on a mission in the rugged and little-known territories of the snowy mountains.
Great enemy of Granite Bear and his people is Icer, a man of ice turned of evil and exiled from snowy mountains by his own race after the alliance with the wicked Skeletor.

Joe Tereshinski, III was named the 49ers' inside receivers coach, Jan. 1, 2012. A 2006 Georgia grad, Tereshinski spent the last two seasons as a graduate assistant at Wake Forest.
A former Georgia QB, Tereshinski III concentrated his coaching on tight ends this past season at Wake Forest. He was the starting quarterback at Georgia in 2006, until he suffered an ankle injury. He was a third generation Bulldog, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Joe, Sr., (Redskins) a tight end and defensive end on Georgia's 1942 and 1946 SEC Championship teams. His father, Joe, Jr. was a member of the Bulldogs 1976 SEC Championship team, alongside his uncle, Wally. Joe's brother, John was a Wake Forest tight end from 2004-07.
"Joe comes from a long line of football players - he's been around the game his whole life. I got to know him when I was at Georgia," Lambert noted. "I coached with his father and had a chance to recruit and coach his brother John. Joe's a high-character guy. (After graduation) he got into the business world - but he knows what he really wants to do. His passion really is football. He knows that and that's exciting for me. I had a chance to work with him at Wake. He has a great wealth of knowledge offensively. He played quarterback at the highest level and can bring a great perspective for our receivers from a quarterback's standpoint. He'll be a great asset to our wideouts because he knows what the quarterback's thinking. He has great contacts and relationships and knowledge in the Georgia area and he will represent Charlotte in first class manner."
Joe was a red-shirt during Georgia's 2002 SEC title season and earned playing time on special teams and as Georgia's long snapper during his freshman through junior years. He was a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll during his time with the Bulldogs.
A 2006 graduate, Tereshinski double-majored in finance and risk management.

Your block chance (46.32%) already includes the block chance granted by your mastery. Your block chance without including your mastery is 5%. So you do indeed simply add 13.22 + 13.83 + 46.32 + 5 to get your combined avoidance and block chance.
I just came back to tanking (i have been on a Mage since BC). Prior to that i did some tanking in vanilla, but WOW have things changed!
I read your Tanking with the Blessing of Kings - The Protection Paladin
and wanted to say thank you it helped me tremendously! For a brand new pally tank i understand everything but the CtC and wanted to have things cleared up.
IF IM CORRECT, Ok to determine Block capping or unhittability per say i would simply calculate my current Block, Dodge, Parry, Miss %'s.
Dont laugh im still getting some gear, So i have:
Dodge 13.22%
Parry 13.83%
Block 46.32%
Miss 5%
Added up that would give me 78.37% Avoidance. This is where i want to make sure im clear.....do i add my added block due to mastery now? If so i should add 41% added block for my 18.3 points in mastery which would catapult me to 119% avoidance??? If so i get to reforge and re-gem a bit!
I dont want to think anymore into this until im sure im correct, if not tell me im an idiot and go back to school to learn math.
Your block chance (46.32%) already includes the block chance granted by your mastery. Your block chance without including your mastery is 5%. So you do indeed simply add 13.22 + 13.83 + 46.32 + 5 to get your combined avoidance and block chance.
Ok thank you for clearing that up, i still have plenty of gear to obtain before i reach my cap. But at least im starting to understand the in's and out's of this so called pally tanking, lol.
Thank you for taking the time for this guide!
If you want a good idea of gear gemming and enchanting you cant check out Mr.Robot. Just Google it, its a gear optimizer and its amazing. It will give you a great Idea of gear sets according to Ilvl and your preferences as well as bis gems, chants, and reforges. Once you break CTC you will prolly more than have an idea of what to do so you wont need this. But I still check it sometimes to see if Im along the right lines.
Edit:Its not law but its pretty damn close.
Just curious here, what do you think of the CLC Prot addon? If you're not familiar, it's essentially the tankadin version of Shock and Awe for enhancement shaman. It doesn't recommend when to use mitigation CDs, but I've found it to work fairly well for threat myself.
In regards to Mr. Robot, I have heard so much negativity about the site that personally I'd stick to www.wowreforge.com or maintankadin.com with preference toward the latter in this case.
I prefer not to rely on addons like that for rotations/priorities. While they are wonderful for slightly more complicated dps classes, they are often pretty mediocre for tanks. You can also be led astray by an addon: think about picking up the fragments at rhyolith while the spark is not yet dead, you need to break the single target priority to get a bit of threat on the fragments so that they keep off the healers.
What I did was I went to a boss dummy, put up seal of insight and pummeled the dummy for 20 minutes until I could do it blind.
Suppose that works too. LOL. The addon does stick to the priority pretty efficiently so I figure since I learn better by having it in my face than reading, I'll probably do something similar.
I added a few words about mastery post CTC hard-cap to the stats section.
Theres a nice addon called visual combat table simplifies the whole thing for you
I have added a section in the second post discussing the changes in the PTR patch 4.3.0 that actually change something for Protection Paladins.
good post
So, in my Prot spec with Lavascale Minestrone and Elixir of the Master I now have in excess of full ctc by about 1.5%, not a huge amount but seems like a waste; what stats should I start changing from avoidance/mastery? Mr. Robot (I'm not really a big fan of it, but it did give the reforging advice to hit ctc) says things like expertise and hit. I guess that's all that's left, but am open to suggestions.
I'd link my pally but I logged out in my healing set.
You can reforge mastery to avoidance (or un-reforge back to avoidance as the case may be), this approach will probably need a lot of fine tuning as to which items you should reforge.
Somewhat simpler, if not as finely tuned, is changing gems. You can either turn excess mastery into Stamina, or into parry or dodge.
If you are using the block meta, id start by replacing it with the armor meta. Wont drop you under ctc, and its a sizable chunk of armor with good gear
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
If you have Block Cap, and even when fairly significantly below it, the block value meta gem reduces your damage taken by more than the 2% armor will. The maths concerning this choice can be found here (courtesy of Theck over at maintankadin).
It boils down to this:
If you are a long way away from full CTC, use the armor meta gem.
If you are less than 15% off full CTC, the armor meta gem is slightly better.
If you are 12.4% off full CTC the gems are worth about the same.
If you are less than 10% off full CTC, the BV gem comes out better.
If you are less than 5% off CTC, especially during Holy Shield, the BV gem starts to really run away with it.
If you are at full CTC, even without hitting Holy Shield even once, you would need over 85000 armor for the Armor meta to be better than the BV one.
If you are at full CTC and use Holy Shield, you would need over 130000 armor (assuming it is not hard capped) for the armor gem to reduce more damage over all, and during Holy Shield, there is practically no value for Armor that would cause the Armor meta gem to pull ahead of the Block value gem.
For reference, damage reduction through armor against bosses (or level 88 opponents) is hard capped at just under 97000 (75%) for level 85 players.

That is stating at 12.4% the block meta is ALMOST identical, at 15% the armor is a better meta.Originally Posted by Theckhd
And what do you think "less than 15%" means? Read it again. Between 10 and 15% off CTC they are about the same, close enough to not make that much of a difference, with the breakpoint being about 12.5%. for x% where x<12.4, the block meta will grant more damage reduction, while for x% where x > 12.4, the armor meta will provide slightly more damage reduction. Don't forget that in these borderline areas we are talking about margin of error and the assumption is that the damage in question is blockable (or reduced by armor).Where are you coming up with this? Direct quote from Theckhd
For example Inferno Blades is elemental damage, but blockable. The breakpoint would be much earlier in this specific case.
Haven't used Mr. Robot in a long time. Past all that, Theotherone If you are over Ctc and you are very high on mastery food and block its self I would suggest slowing changing it to avoidance to balance your ctc. Its not imparitive but if you wish to min max that's what I would suggest. Unless you are talking about HRag or something along the lines and then I would say the right idea is going to the Puissant for your yellows and prismatic. I also when I was very high over at like 70% block started using some Regal gems same color as mastery stam just with dodge. It helped me put my dodge over and gain stam at the same time which was nice. An even more simple alternative is to just use feasts or dodge food instead of mastery. Cheap and easy!
Nice comments on the thread looks like it really picked up!

This year's parade theme was "the Magic and Myths." Thousands lined the streets to see groups of floats, marchers, and members of their police and fire departments in the spirit.
People say they the event is truly special, even if they come year after year.
"It's going good, I'm living in Schenectady since I was 13, I've been at every one of them, so it's always good, it's always good to be here"
"I can't wait to go like Christmas shopping, and Thanksgiving next week, I just, I'm excited for it, it's a great time of year, presents, and family and fun – it's great"
More than 100 groups marched down State Street, and awards were given out for the top seven best parade floats.
This event is one of the largest nighttime holiday parades in the Northeast, and is held every year the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

These Hush Puppy Sandles were recommended to me at a local shoe store several years ago. They had plenty of great wear, and I decided to look on line for a NEW identical pair. I found out that they came in an extra wide width, which I decided to try. I enjoyed them before, but love the extra width as they are now even are more comfortable than my first pair. With neuropothy in my feet, I found them to be extremely comfortable for summer walking.
We are so happy to hear how much these sandals have helped your feet. Thanks for the wonderful feedback!

Initially, my Hush Puppies Relief Rafting sandals were smaller than expected, but the replacement 9 1/2s are comfy and a good fit. Durability will be the big test. However I do want to say that I received excellent service when I exchanged them for a larger size. Because I was about to leave on vacation, your company sent out the exchange immediately upon verification that the exchange package was picked up by FedEx. Thank you.
