NFL.com draft grades: B for Bolts, C for Raiders
Denver Broncos
Draft picks: N.C. State edge rusher Bradley Chubb (No. 5 overall), SMU WR Courtland Sutton (No. 40 overall), Oregon RB Royce Freeman (No. 71 overall), Boston College DB Isaac Yiadom (No. 99 overall), Iowa LB Josey Jewell (No. 106 overall), Penn State WR DaeSean Hamilton (No. 113 overall), Wisconsin TE Troy Fumagalli (No. 156 overall), Arizona State OG Sam Jones (No. 183 overall), Washington LB Keishawn Bierria (No. 217 overall), Arkansas RB David Williams (No. 226 overall).
Overall grade: A
The skinny: Chubb was the best value on the board for this team. Putting him and Von Miller on the same defense makes them dangerous again, like when DeMarcus Ware and Miller were doing their thing. Case Keenum's two-year deal took QB out of the equation here, and Paxton Lynch still has an opportunity to grow into a starter. Sutton's going to be a playmaker at the next level because of his quick feet and size. The Broncos also needed a running back after letting C.J. Anderson go, and found one in Freeman, who looked more explosive later in the 2017 season. He might be getting back to his former self after struggling through injury; if he returns to form, the team got a steal. Trading Aqib Talib meant the Broncos were in need of a corner with length. Yiadom is a good fit. Jewell was a fine fourth-round pick at inside linebacker for the Broncos.
Kansas City Chiefs
Draft picks: Mississippi LB Breeland Speaks (No. 46 overall), Florida State DT Derrick Nnadi (No. 75 overall), Clemson LB Dorian O'Daniel (No. 100 overall), Texas A&M S Armani Watts (No. 124 overall), Central Arkansas CB Tremon Smith (No. 196 overall), Tennessee OG Kahlil McKenzie (No. 198 overall).
Overall grade: B
The skinny: The Chiefs had no first-round selection this year because they traded up 17 spots in 2017 to bring in Patrick Mahomes. The young gunslinger played well enough last season that the team unloaded veteran Alex Smith this off-season. The Chiefs wanted a versatile defender in the second round, and they gave up a third-round pick to go get Speaks, who fits the bill. Speaks has potential, and he'll have to meet it to make the trade-up worthwhile. Nnadi will be a good nose tackle, but can he affect the passing game enough to justify the team's decision to give up a fourth-round pick to move up 11 spots to get him? With the final pick in the third round, the Chiefs added O'Daniel, who will play a safety/linebacker hybrid role. The value was about right, and it will be an interesting fit. Kansas City received pick 124 for cornerback Marcus Peters in their trade with the Rams this off-season, and they used the pick to meet their need for a safety in Watts.
Los Angeles Chargers
Draft picks: Florida State S Derwin James (No. 17 overall), USC LB Uchenna Nwosu (No. 48 overall), N.C. State DT Justin Jones (No. 84 overall), West Virginia S/LB Kyzir White (No. 119 overall), UCLA C Scott Quessenberry (No. 155 overall), Texas Tech WR Dylan Cantrell (No. 191 overall), Northwestern RB Justin Jackson (No. 251 overall).
Overall grade: B
The skinny: The Chargers let the draft come to them in the first round, and they got a great player at a need position. Doesn't get much better than that for a mid-first-round selection. James is fluid, tough, and fast. I don't understand why he was still available at 17. The team was looking to improve its linebacker situation, and it deemed Nwosu the best option available in the middle of the second round. Will Texas' Malik Jefferson or Georgia's Lorenzo Carter -- who were both still on the board -- prove to be better players? Time will tell. They found their nose tackle in the third round, picking Jones. This might have been a little early for him, but we'll see if he can put it all together to be more than a rotational player. White is a physical player with ball skills. Even after signing Mike Pouncey, the Chargers picked Quessenberry, a sturdy pivot who will start in the future. They did not find any depth at guard or tackle, though, nor a quarterback to compete with Geno Smith and Cardale Jones for a backup spot.
Oakland Raiders
Draft picks: UCLA OT Kolton Miller (No. 15 overall), Sam Houston State DT P.J. Hall (No. 57 overall), North Carolina A&T OT Brandon Parker (No. 65 overall), LSU DE Arden Key (No. 87 overall), Wisconsin CB Nick Nelson (No. 110 overall), Michigan DT Maurice Hurst (No. 140 overall), Florida P Johnny Townsend (No. 173 overall), Washington LB Azeem Victor (No. 216 overall), Oklahoma State WR Marcell Ateman (No. 228 overall).
Overall grade: C
The skinny: With many top-notch defenders on the board, the Raiders took an athletic but inconsistent tackle in Miller. His tape did not put him in the mid-first round. The team did get a third- and fifth-round pick in the trade to with Arizona to move five picks down (from 10 to 15), so that's a plus. Hall was one of my favorite non-FBS players in this draft, but his ascension to the second round was astounding. I believe his quickness and tenacious nature will translate to the NFL. Parker is raw and a bit of a reach in the early third, especially for a team that already picked an offensive tackle in Round 1. The Raiders took a chance on Key, who struggled with issues and injuries during his college career. The Raiders traded for a couple veteran receivers -- Martavis Bryant and Ryan Switzer -- over the course of the draft. Oakland doctors signed off on Hurst, a first-round talent who was diagnosed with a heart condition at the NFL Scouting Combine. He's going to be a star.
Bolt Mock 5.0:
1. Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
2. Khalil Hodge, LB, Buffalo
3. Darnell Savage, S, Maryland
4. Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama St.
5. JoeJuan Williams, CB, Vanderbilt
6. Nic Needham, CB, UTEP
7. Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn
Broncos got an A. They picked a lot of CMB faves also.
Raiders may have a C but they got the steal of the draft in Hurst in rd. 5.
But from the info we knew and didnt know,
I dont think it was a great move to pick him or not one way or the other
No strong opinion here.
Edit: today at least Im much happier to have white as a prospect than hurst,l as a prospect (would have taken our 4th rounder to get MG)

I agree. Broncos had a solid draft. Some experts feel they are reloading not rebuilding for another Super Bowl run. Keenum is a proven veteran quarterback.
Miller and Chubb will be scary to face on Sundays. I think Josey Jewell was the only player I hit in the 4th round. I think he will be an eventual starter for Horseface.
Chiefs are my new hated rivals after last seasons second game. You guys going down.
Raiders their thinking they may have their future tackles to protect Carr. Maurice Hurst could be the grand theft player of the draft. Hope he plays for a number of years just to prove everyone wrong. It's a questionable draft one with some calculated risk. You appreciate Gruden for that quality.
Charger fans are riding high on a defensive draft to address the poor ranked run defense. I'm satisfied with the direction given all the speculation of drafting a new quarterback. This draft may be the one that changes franchises fortunes. Which quarterback leads the next generation for fans to follow? Mayfield's Browns, Rosens Cardinals, Jackson's Ravens, Darnold's Jets or Allen's Bills? Rivers the winning starts now. Let's go!
Broncos drafted heavy offense which tells you something... I don't think their offense is good enough to compliment their defense for any serious playoff runs or regular season wins.
My prediction for AFCW is...

Chiefs are hard to measure with the new qb. Im sure theyll want to run.
Raiders, meh.
KJ Wright LB (free agent).
1. Chargers
2. Broncos
3. Chiefs
4. Raiders
Offense is certainly a question mark as well... The running game is arguably worse and Thomas/Sanders are another year older with yet another QB to build chemistry with. Which TE is going to be Keenum's security blanket?
Broncos being most improved is debatable IMO. I'd say the Chargers adjusted better this offseason.

Online shopping continues to grow in popularity, and it is very obvious why this is the case. Sadly, most shoppers aren't aware that there are a number of ways to make their online shopping experiences even better. Continue reading this article to learn how you can get the best deal possible.
Spend some time comparison shopping. Unless you want to get a specific brand of something, you have to take some time to see how different products compare. Pay attention to the prices and features when comparing different products. You should return to the different online stores regularly to see new products.
When investigating a new online shop, always make a point to find and read their terms and conditions as well as their privacy policy. See what information is collected, if it's protected, and how it is used. If you don't agree with the policies, inform the merchant before making a purchase. If you can't agree with the policies, then not making the purchase is your solution.
If you shop online, avoid giving out a Social Security number. This information is not necessary for making any kind of purchase. A site that asks for a social security number is more than likely a scam. Back out of such sites without making any commitments and do your shopping elsewhere.
Install a good antivirus program before you shop. Some online stores are questionable. There are people out there that create online store sites just there to damage your computer. No matter how safe you think a website is, it is best to be cautious and have your antivirus updated.
If this is going to be your first purchase from this seller, check out other customer reviews before buying. Feedback from past customers can give you an excellent idea of the level of customer service they provide, as well as the quality of their items. Consistently bad reviews should lead you to choose another merchant.
If you shop online a lot, keep your malware protection current. Hackers target the big shopping sites to get personal data and hack into accounts. Make sure you notify the webmaster of any respectable site that shows up infected. Either wait to make your purchase, or find an uninfected store.
Signing up for a websites newsletter can get you special offers and discounts for the sites that you shop at most often. Many times, online stores provide the best discounts and coupons for first-time shoppers. Merchants often reward loyalty, so you'll likely score additional savings down the road, as well.
Never give anyone your SSN when shopping online. You never need to give that information to purchase an item online. If a website asks you for that information, it is likely a scam. Leave immediately and look for a reputable seller.
Sometimes you can receive a discount off your purchase by entering a "coupon code" at the point of sale. Just Google "(retailer) coupon code" to find them. Look for free shipping and other discounts. The time spent to find it is worth the deal.
Offer Sales
If you purchase from Amazon frequently, think about Amazon Prime. The membership is only 79 dollars, and you get quite a bit for your money. One of the perks is that you will receive two day shipping on any product sold by Amazon. They have a large movie library where you can get free streaming, too. You will save money from this as well.
Many online stores start sales as soon as Wednesday, so keep an eye out. Actual stores wait until the weekend to offer sales. So, online sites offer sales day before these stores. It's possible to find great mid-week bargains by doing a little bit of online research.
Only shop through an Internet connection which is secure. Hackers often look for unsecure wireless connections to steal personal information.
A lot of online retails offer big saving with coupon codes. Just Google "(retailer) coupon code" to find them. You could get free shipping or a percentage off.
Try being patient instead of overpaying for expedited shipping options. It's shocking how fast these items will come with standard shipping. You can use your savings to buy more stuff online!
Take the time to look at size charts listed on all clothing websites. One of the most difficult things about purchasing clothing online is figuring out what size you wear. Fortunately, you'll get some help determining the correct size for you from the sizing charts that most sites selling clothing provide. This is often very useful.
Prior to buying at a major retailer, be sure to look at auction sites and discount vendors. The deals online are typically much better than those locally. This can translate to a lot of savings and very little issues. Check the return policies, though. This can vary quite a bit depending on where you're shopping.
Look at the product page information carefully before buying. Be certain the item is just what you want in terms of size, features and specs. You have to understand that the picture you see might not match the product you want to purchase.
If you shop online frequently, you may wish to purchase a service providing free shipping from certain stores. This sort of service gives you a list of partnered stores. Additionally, they will provide you with a free trial so you will be able to determine whether the service is worth the money for you. Consider trying several services in order to find the best possible one.
Never pay the retail price of anything if you're shopping online. Sales are typically held on a schedule. Find out when sales are happening by signing up for email newsletters from your favorite merchants. Then simply have patience and wait for the sales to rack up savings. There's a lot of money to be saved if you can put off your purchases a while.
Look for retailers that have a live chat feature. Live Help features usually get problems and questions resolved far more quickly than more traditional email or phone calls. Additionally, you could be able to negotiate a better deal by using Live Chat. Some retailers will offer a discount if you order while you are on Live Chat.
Create a folder in your bookmarks for your best online shopping destinations. These sites are the ones you find yourself at over and over again. Include any promo or coupon websites that you use during your shopping time. By doing this, discovering current details on deals you want from retailers you trust already is within easy reach.
Prior to shopping, view coupon sites, such as Coupons.com. The coupon sites can provide you with many coupons that could save you a great deal of money. The issue is that you have to remember to visit them before you go shopping to ensure you get the discount.
Cookies are used on most online retail websites. These contain information pertaining to your surfing habits, and they can store personal information. To protect your privacy, read each website's privacy policy before giving out any information. Don't ever make purchases from a website you have doubts about; find an online store that you can trust.
Be sure to find good coupon codes on anything you wish to buy. There are some websites which even collect coupon codes for multiple retailers for you. If you aren't able to identify a code for something you want, search for the site name with the keywords "coupon code" added. You never know what will pop up!
If you decide to buy a pricey product, consider upgrading your shipping so that you are provided with tracking information. You can insure the item and pay for quicker shipment. If you will not be at home when your package is expected, consider asking a trusted friend or neighbor to watch for your delivery.
If there are certain stores that you go to a lot, do they have an app available for your mobile? This makes shopping far more convenient. If you're not home and waiting for the doctor, you can shop a little. Another benefit is that if you're out and you see something that catches your eye, you can check online to see if you're getting the best deal.
You probably already know you should look for "https" rather than "http" when entering payment information online. But, have you considered the notion that your Internet connection needs to be safe as well? Are you on a WiFi connection that's secure or are you shopping online in a public place?
When you return home from a hectic day at work, you would not want to deal with a noisy mall. If you were to make those purchases online, you would be sitting in the comfort of your own home and relaxing. Peace of mind is yours.
Be sure to use any promotional codes that apply when you order. A lot of websites offer discounts to students, along with free shipping, when you subscribe to their newsletters. You can save lots of money by researching best prices before buying.
When you look for products, pick stores that are on the first pages of search results. The stores that tend to rank further down are most likely less reliable than those on the first page. A store that you recognize online is the best place to go, especially if this is a place you've used before.
Most apparel websites allow you to filter the search results by size for easier browsing. Nothing is more agonizing than finding the perfect pair of boots only to see they aren't available in your foot size. This ensures your shopping experience is a positive one.
Always go over your bank statement a day or so after buying something online. Verify the amount charged is correct. If the balance is higher, immediately call the store in question to find out what is going on. Don't hesitate to also call you bank to have the charges reversed if you're going to cancel the order.
If you shop online but do not want your email to be bombarded with advertisements, think about opening an account used just for shopping. Depending on privacy policies, your email address could be sold to other companies, who will send you information. Hotmail and Yahoo are examples of sites that offer free emails that can be used for shopping.
It's a good idea to sort the products you're looking at by size when you're hunting for shoes or clothes. Otherwise, you end up with the perfect pumps, but then you find out they are not available in your size. Therefore, you can prevent this disappointment by tailoring your search to only include shoes in your size. Therefore, you will never see it.
You can greatly benefit by being a preferred member of a store online. These can include free shipping or special pricing. You often have to register in order to receive this, so use an email address that is only for online shopping.
Be aware of how much money you spend when you shop online. Many people easily lose track of how much they have spent. Make a budget and stay within it. You don't want to max out your credit cards.
Always do your homework before purchasing goods online, regardless of the price tag. Customer reviews are always a good source of information. Websites like pricegrabber.com and consumersearch.com are made just for reviews. On these sites, you can look at reviews to be sure it is something you want to buy.
If you've been thinking of making purchases online but think you may get your identity stolen, know that a lot of people feel the same way. However, technology has come a long way, and your information is secure most of the time. Concentrating your online shopping attention on companies that you've already had good experiences with in the past is a great way to stay safe.
Pretty much anyone who is online has used the Internet to buy something. However, a lot of people do not take advantage of this because they do not know enough about how to make the most out of online shopping. The aforementioned tips offered you everything you need to know to get started shopping online.
Research products you want to buy before buying, especially if it is a particularly large purchase. Websites that are devoted to consumer reviews are great places where you can find reviews on merchandise before you buy them, thus boosting your confidence about your purchase.

Murfreesboro Half Marathon 2010
November 7, 2010
If you are looking for a great half marathon for a PR, this is the race for you. It is small, extremely flat, and at just the right time of year for decent weather. My race morning was a bit brisk, but as you runners know, it doesn't take long to warm up in a race no matter what the temperature might be. The race course starts and finishes on the MTSU campus and winds its way through Murfreesboro, TN. It passes several historic places including the Oaklands Mansion (a famous historic landmark) and Davis Market (a famous place for college kids to buy beer and rolling papers).
I started this race 10lbs heavier and with almost no training under my belt since the Chicago half marathon I did on August 1. Naturally I did not expect to do very well and wasn't planning on taking this race very seriously. My main goal was to finish under 2:30:00 which was 12 minutes over my PR. It was just going to be a fun run and for most of the race that's exactly what it was. Up through mile 9 I rarely checked my watch and mainly chatted with other racers, watched the cheerleaders, and thought about my old college days at MTSU. At mile 6 I even stopped and took a rather lengthy bathroom break.
I was really enjoying myself and the run at mile 9. I wasn't fatigued and was on pace to finish at about my PR time, it was at that point that I decided to go for it at mile 10. The plan was to run the last 5K at or near my 5K pace if possible and get a new PR. The plan worked pretty well as I ran as hard as I could for 5 minute intervals and walked for 1 minute for recovery. With about three quarters of a mile to go I decided to run it out to the finished. I started getting a little tired with a quarter mile to go, but at that exact moment I came up on a couple (with matching running gear, how cute!) who were struggling a bit, but trying not to let me pass. I kicked in that lower gear and started pulling away from them and as I left them behind I could hear the guy start wheezing. At the last tenth of a mile, I stepped it up to a sprint and gave it everything I had in the tank and passed about 20 people for a time of 2:16:03 which was a PR by exactly 2 minutes! True to form for most of my races, I nearly collapsed at the finish line and was asked by a volunteer if I needed help. No thanks!
This race was probably one of the funner ones I have done. Everything about it was well done and the small size allowed me to run the race I wanted to run. As long as I live in Tennessee, I'll be doing the "Middle Half."

There are three major reasons springs are replaced:
There are 3 options when changing vehicle ride height:
To Lower the Vehicle
When lowering a vehicle it must be remembered that the vehicle will be closer to:
i. the road
ii. the tyres
iii. the suspension bump stops
For these reasons, performance replacement springs should be fitted.
To Maintain or Return Vehicle to Standard Height
Most common when original springs have sagged or previously fitted lowered springs are no longer required.
To Raise Vehicle
Common in Four Wheel Drive vehicles, heavily laden vehicles, LPG etc., towing or when ever increased ground clearance is required.
When improvement in handling is required, performance replacement springs will substantially reduce body roll and improve a vehicle's stability. Performance lowered springs will also lower a vehicle's centre of gravity.
All vehicles are manufactured to a general acceptable standard and springs are no exception to this rule. With demands for comfort a growing priority, springs rates are kept as low as possible. For this reason, the original spring's ability to carry load and tow etc. is in most cases, poor.Performance replacement springs will decrease the vehicle's ride height loss under load and improve vehicle stability when laden.
KING'S PERFORMANCE REPLACEMENT COIL SPRINGS will achieve improvement in any or all of the above 3 areas.

James Turrell at Art Basel | Unlimited
James Turrell at Art Basel | Unlimited
James Turrell, »Wedgework«, 2016
Art Basel | Unlimited | June 16 – 19, 2016 | booth U65
Galería OMR, Mexico City, in collaboration with Häusler Contemporary München | Zürich
At this year's Art Unlimited, internationally renowned artist James Turrell presents a new piece from his spectacular »Wedgework« series that provides viewers with the experience of a seemingly physical manifestation of light.
Visitors find themselves standing in a gloomy room that is divided at half-length by a shimmery veil – so it seems. Beyond this veil that actually is made of a projected light, one can perceive a mystically glowing oblique wedge that fills the far end of the space. While the front wall of the wedge is transparent, outlined by shiny contours, the back wall appears as a dense plane of light. Somehow, as the light goes from left to right, it changes from opaque to permeable, from thick to thin, getting whiter as it goes.
Essentially, the work is based in a special manipulation derived from James Turrell's early »Shallow Space Constructions«. A »Wedgework« consists of a series of projections that create shimmering colors and play across the apparent surface of a light division. These figments of light collectively resemble abstract paintings or the pages of a book. They are arranged at oblique angles within yet another one of Turrell's theatrical spaces of indeterminate extent.
The artist says: »I like to accord light the 'thingness' that it should have. Generally, we look at light as a form of revelation of something and are interested in light as a revelation. Rather than illuminating other things, I'm interested in light's thingness, its object-making, thing-making kind of ability«. In his »Wedgework« installations, by precise use of projected light, he succeeds in making light appear as a 'thing'. He creates the illusion of walls and barriers where none exist. The artist thus introduces us to »a place where the imaginative seeing and the seeing of the external world meet, where it is difficult to distinguish the seeing from within from the seeing from without«. With this installation, James Turrell again proves to be a manufacturer of waking dreams.

Good Morning! I finally gave in and went to the Dr. yesterday and found out I have a sinus infection. So I'm on antibiotics...hope they work. I still have a fever and am pretty miserable.
This card is one I made a few weeks ago with some leftover pieces from another project. Inside I stamped, "thinking of you." I'm trying to build up a stash to donate to church again...as she already used up the last ones. I hope I get to feeling better so I can get going on them!
Have a fun weekend!

Awaiting orientation for my new part-time job to begin, I am sitting across from a very young, very blonde girl. We smile politely, say hello, and then…a long and treacherous silence.
"So…are you in school?"
"Yes, I go to the university."
More silence.
"…You like…school?"
"What are you taking?"
Oh fuck. Another conversational dead end. Like science you mean beakers, microscopes and phosphates?
Of course I don't say this, I just smile. The hamster in the wheel inside my head has stopped to draw up some charts and graphs, and new and exciting avenues to commence with this painful conversation. Ideas are being tossed around, what are the kids into these days?
"You…taking classes over the summer?"
"I was thinking of taking calculus, but I figured I'd just work instead".
The hamster in my head, who is wearing a cute little lab coat, (just to get into the scientific spirit), perks up.
"So…what's the deal with calculus anyway?"
Sweet relief! Her attempt to explain the mathematical study of change made absolutely no sense to me, but it killed an awful lot of time. I'm not ashamed to admit it, I'm a gal that needs a calculator for basic addition and subtraction. In university, I took a computer course as a math equivalent, not just because I'm terrible at math, but because of the enormous sweat stains I would be left with after the first week of math class. Everyone would be diligently writing answers to equations and I would be burning up as if under a hot lamp being interrogated by the 'bad cop'. Even knowing that it was a written on my school schedule gripped me with anxiety. After I asked another student what "whole nos" was, to which they replied "whole numbers", with the "duh" implied in their tone, I dropped the class. When time came to get my science credits I took geology: the official choice for art students everywhere.
"She'll be okay guys, someone just tried to explain math to her".
The orientation began, and there was no need to fill the space with any more questions. But I'm left wondering about x's and y's, and what those equations are about, and what they are for. And it makes me a little bit sad that I'll never truly understand.

text: Simplicity, style and quality. Hien Le showcased his new Autumn-Winter women's collection during Berlin Fashion Week. Actually, during the show were presented the men's line, but I think it's better to stay focused in womenswear (I promise to post men's line as well). The collection is clean, simple and light, yet Hien Le moved away from bold contrasted colors adding midnight blue, burnt gold and cream. Models appeared in formal color-blocking wear, loose dresses, blouses and sweaters in beautiful collection's signature print. All in all, it's forward-looking and sophisticated collection with a touch of light elegance.

Australian Open
Wawrinka determined to make up for lost time
Just three days ago former Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka admitted he was close to aborting his comeback following a six-month break after knee surgery. Now the Swiss ninth seed, who by virtue of being in the lower half of the men's draw will not play until Tuesday, has made a calculated gamble and will play.
The 32-year-old, who has not won a match of any kind since beating Andy Murray in the French Open semi-final on June 9, was unable to defend his US Open title last September and withdrew from Thursday night's Tie Break Tens meeting with world No1 Rafael Nadal minutes before he was due on court, will contest the 49th Grand Slam event of his career after all.

Insurance agencies look to digital to hold on to customers
- Posted on September 13, 2016
The insurance industry is in the middle of a radical operational shift. The traditional agency model of customers working solely and directly with an agent is giving way to a direct-to-consumer digital model that gives customers hands-on ability to make their own choices and purchase decision. That means insurance agencies should be able to provide a multi-channel experience that allows policyholders the ability and ease of self-service insurance while simultaneously providing the digital tools that allow agents to deliver well-informed and customized recommendations that lead to the type of customer service that digitally-savvy customers have come to expect. Are agencies up for the challenge? They better be.
Digital Solutions Lead to Personalized Customer Service
According to a recent Accenture study, 40% of P&C customers say they are likely to switch providers in the next 12 months and 80% of P&C customers say they would be willing to switch to a provider that offered more personalize service. Digital insurance customers have especially high expectations of their interactions with insurers and agencies. They expect to engage with them in new, innovative ways across multiple channels, as they've learned to do when working with more digitally-mature industries, like retail and banking.
To be successful today requires that insurance agencies harness technology to compete smarter, create relevant and compelling products and services and promote customer and employee experiences that will maintain positive relationships, leading to longer term customer loyalty and brand passion.
To appeal to this new breed of digital customer, insurers should lean heavily on digital technologies that provide opportunities for self-service with both mobile devices and the web as well as the ability to engage with customers at multiple touchpoints. Such tools can improve engagements with policyholders and enable more effective, data-driven decision-making on the part of the agency. They allow agents to be in communication with policyholders on any device, at any time and from anywhere. Additionally, by providing customized experiences driven by data, agencies have greater opportunities to understand the needs of their clients and recommend policies that fit best with policyholders – creating an interactive and much more satisfying customer relationship.
Cure For the Common Data Overload
Sourcing, analyzing and refining all that data can seem like a daunting task, especially when it comes to adapting legacy systems to make them work with contemporary digital systems. But incorporating innovative thinking along the lines of Internet of Things and telematics is work that must be done if agencies are going to optimize the information they collect and transform themselves into truly digital organizations that can handle the needs and demands of today's insurance customers and still remain profitable. A case in point is the work Avanade recently did with Police Mutual using Dynamics CRM to give them a 360-degree, holistic customer view. The investment has resulted in three years of consecutive double-digit growth for Police Mutual fed by increased sales and improved member service, productivity and efficiency, while maintaining more than 99 percent accuracy in member and policy data collection.
It is possible to accommodate self-service, digitally-savvy customers and it is imperative that agencies do so if they want to keep this continually growing segment of the population as part of their customer base. The tools are there. It's a matter of figuring out and optimizing the best digital path forward.

Big plans for Team Local!
A few minutes ago, at dinner, I was struck by the odd revelation that the healthiest base diet would be one with the least amount of "Nutritional Facts." That is to say, I was scrutinizing our dinner this way and that, trying to figure out if I'm getting my daily required vitamins and minerals before supplemental assistance. Sad part is, they don't put nutrition facts on things like, mushrooms, so it's really hard to say—and I'm no nutritionist.
This isn't a huge worry so much as it's a mild curiosity. That said, I do feel like America's eating habits are, by and large, horrible. Yes, that's making a sweeping generalization, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that for every 10 people who shove fast food down their gullets on the regular, there's at least one suburbanite who buys all superfood smoothies who'll be just as shocked to find out they have digestive/health problems later in life.
I'm not saying we all need to get degrees in nutrition—but we do need to learn a little bit more about what our bodies need.
Part of the problem, I think, is that we just have way too much food available all at once.
It's a bit overwhelming when the majority of the US can eat food that's in between seasons from halfway across the globe whenever they want with just a (relatively) short drive. In most, if not all major cities, we have foods from several ethnicities at our beck and call, before we even consider the grocery stores stocked with every major staple produce year-round. So when we distill all of these health articles printed out on every social media platform from dawn to dusk, I know I personally at least think, "Man, how the hell am I ever going to eat that much?"
But anyways—let's talk food.
Dinner tonight was a cream with mushroom soup, as I planned on doing last night, as well as orange-glazed carrots and local salad with an orange-cream dressing.
In case you haven't figured it out, we found local oranges over at the farmer's market we visited yesterday. It took a double, even a triple-check to make sure they were local, but we confirmed with the farm that, yes, they were theirs, and they were easily within our 200 mile radius.
The cream with mushroom soup was based on this recipe. It was easy enough, given my work with roux and Béchamel sauce as of late—basically you thin it out a little more and, poof, you have cream soup base. The idea came about when we saw that Hollygrove had Oyster and Chanterelle mushrooms. However, I would not recommend using anything more expensive than shitake in this kind of a soup. The oyster and chanterelle played second fiddle, and this dish absolutely does not do those mushrooms justice, given how hard they are to find, and how expensive they are once if do find them. Fortunately, we picked up plenty of the mushrooms, so we'll figure out something else to do to hopefully let them shine a little more over the coming days.
Other than that, the only other modifications I made were that we didn't have chicken stock, or even veggie stock—our stock bag just filled up, so we'll be making stock tonight and tomorrow. So I cut the amount of water in half, roughly, and used warm milk for the rest and the cream, hoping the mushrooms would fill the broth with flavor. I don't know how it'll change things to use a stock, but hey, it can't hurt.
The carrots were skinned and boiled, then basically boiled again in orange juice and cane sugar until the "sauce" reduced, and they were served as such. It was…kind of a pathetic attempt at a side dish, because the carrots we get this time of year are really small.
The salad was local lettuce and creole tomatoes acquired from the same farm as the oranges (it starts with a B, and I can't remember it off the top of my head). As for the dressing, we've been talking about trying to use the pecan oil in a dressing for weeks now, and the grapefruit juice just didn't seem like the acid we really wanted. So I mixed some equal parts with orange juice and a pinch or few of salt, but that didn't really do much for me. But, I remembered we had this yogurt cheese from Country Girls Creamery, which really seems just like…yogurt. But anyways, so I stirred in some of that liberally, probably getting to about equal parts, and I threw in maybe a tablespoon of cane sugar and some more salt. After beating the snot out of it, it still wouldn't bind (it won't, without an emulsifying agent), but it stayed together long enough to serve as a really watery dressing. And it wasn't half bad, honestly—sweet and citrusy, with just enough cream from the cheese. It'll separate by the morning, because duh, but we can always shake it up again.
We've got big plans for the future!
The veggie stock is being made as I write this, and tomorrow I'll soak the beans for red beans and rice. Kombucha #2 is well on its way to being ready, which is good because we're almost out of the first batch. And, finally, we're going to be hosting a little all-local dinner party with some dear friends of mine, to spread the joys of eating locally (and push my abilities to their limit).
Exciting times for Team Local!
