It is with a heavy heart that I bring news of a great statesman’s death. Senator Edward M. Kennedy died on Thursday after a long battle with brain cancer. The senator is being laid to rest on Saturday and it will be the end of an American legacy. Senator Kennedy has played a large role in the policies of America and has shaped our world.

I hope that everyone will agree that he deserves all the respect due to a man of his stature and will join with me in praising him. I also would like to send my regards to his family who have suffered a great loss. It is a loss that we all share.

This year, my wife and I decided to go over our entire financial situation. We put every item we could think of on the table and decide their importance. We found that our one area of weakness was our IRA accounts. They hadn’t performed as expected and were prone to losses due to circumstances that were out of our control. We decided to make some changes in this area.

We looked around and found that we would be better off if we changed our 401k plan to a gold 401k. There are many reasons for doing so and we were convinced it would be better for us. We found that learning how to put gold in an IRA would be easy to do and well worthwhile. Gold has a long history of doing well even when times are tough. As a matter of fact, the worse things are going, the better gold does!

Since I found out how to put gold in my IRA, I feel much more secure. I know that I will have access to my money whenever it’s needed. I simply asked for and received a gold IRA transfer that will lay a solid foundation for our economic security. I hope that everyone will take a few minutes and check out the facts about 401k gold. It will be well worth your time.

As American troops have started their wind down of the occupation of Iraq, we see that there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of security. Recent bombings of important government buildings prove that the Iraqi security forces still have a long way to go before they are ready to take over the countries security duties. The problem is persistent and worrisome.

The bombings have shaken the confidence of the Iraqi public and forced changes in the current security system. The Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has promised to strengthen security measures and has tried to placate the outraged public. We will watch and see what the outcome to this tough problem will be.

I spend a lot of time on the internet. I like to start anywhere and click on links to see where I end up. Many times I will run into something interesting along the way. While doing this, I found a site that was really neat and I want to share it with you. It’s called eccomailbox.com and they have ecco mailboxes for sale. I am seriously thinking about purchasing one.

The mailbox that really caught my eye was one called the ecco e8 mailbox. It’s in the Victorian style and is supposed to sit on a pedestal. It’s almost four feet tall and has two doors and a protected mail slot. I really like this box as it reminds me of an old English phone booth. I think it’s really cool!

I showed the box to my wife and she likes it as well. The kids said it was awesome and so I decided to purchase it. We are now the proud owners of an ecco mailbox and it looks great. The neighbors are all wishing they had thought to get one first. Even the mailman said it was the best-looking box on his route. I hope you will visit the site and check it out for yourself, I think you’ll like it as well.

Every year we impatiently wait for football season to start. While the regular season has yet to begin, at least the preseason will tide us over until opening day. One of the problems with the preseason is that the first-string players often only play for the first quarter. While it’s true they play more and more as the season gets closer, the games often become boring when the second and third string players play.

It sure will be nice when the season finally starts!
