Senator Ted Kennedy is recovering at Duke University Hospital after undergoing risky brain surgery for a malignant tumor.
Hospital officials say he enjoyed a restful night's sleep and was walking the hospital hallways Tuesday after the three-and-a-half-hour procedure.
Doctors gave out few details about Monday's surgery, but the lead surgeon did release a statement.
The surgery "was successful and accomplished our goals," the Los Angeles Times quoted Kennedy's neurosurgeon, Dr. Allan Friedman.
Friedman said that Kennedy was awake during the entire procedure and would likely experience no permanent neurological effects from the operation, according to the Times.
The senator reportedly said to his wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, right after the surgery: "I feel like a million bucks. I think I will do that again tomorrow."
Kennedy's type of tumor invades normal tissue making surgery complicated. But the three-and-a-half-hour operation involved removing as much of the tumor as possible.
Kennedy, 76, was awake during most of the surgery, which helps doctors avoid vital areas of the brain.
"The patient is talking, naming, repeating," said Dr. Matthew Ewend. "You want him doing language function and then if you stimulate small areas of the brain and if that function stops, then you that is a critical area. And you know one can't go through it for surgery."
While he remains in the hospital, he probably will be given drugs to prevent brain swelling and seizures. He will also be monitored for bleeding and blood clots, since there is a risk of a possible stroke.
Following his return home in about a week, the Massachusetts senior senator will undergo radiation and chemotherapy to aggressively fight the cancer.
In a statement released by his office, Kennedy said he was "humbled by the outpouring" of prayers from around the world, the senior senator from Massachusetts thanked those who had "expressed their support and good wishes as I tackle this new and unexpected health challenge."

Hi Bruna,
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to show ,and talk to us about your wonderful pieces of art! I admire your skill; you have such a wonderful style, and your use of colors are just stunning! I also love how you put a lot of emotion into your work.
I love your Dracula pieces!
Thanks again!
PS: I'm happy to know that a professional artist uses Photoshop. Seems so many prefer Painter, but I feel the exact same way as you do about it.

- thanks Jesse! it was great talking to you guys too!
- thanks Cole! TnTema is the time to have some fun drawing and experimenting on my art! I'm glad you liked it!
- thanks so much Jay! The Dracula pics are my favourite too! and PS X Painter: the ultimate fight! LOL! I think they're both great programs, but they are in the end, just tools, what's really important is what you have in your mind, ideas and inspiration. The software is there to help you put all that on paper/pixels, right?
Thanks everybody for all your kind words!

Lol! That's so true Bruna! They are just tools. I'm still working on my inspiration ,and artists like you really do help me want to become a better artist. I hope to create memorable characters as you have someday.
Thanks so much for the response!

Featured Golf News
Blind Israeli Golfer Is Quite the Stick
I want every seeing person to have their legs shake with fear a little when they come play a round with me, said Zohar Sharon wryly. Though he might have lost his eyesight, the 53-year-old Israeli has not lost his sense of humor, further describing himself as the worlds greatest golf player at night.
Thousands of blind people around the world play golf, but only a hundred or so play the game competitively. Since 2003, Sharon has won international blind golfers tournaments in Scotland, Australia, the United States and Canada. At the latter event, he garnered his first eagle at the Ontario Visually Impaired Golfers championship in August. On November 14, he made a hole-in-one on the 15th hole at the Caeserea Golf Club, the only 18-hole layout in Israel.
Sharons sight loss goes back 30 years while in the Israeli military. He was a sniper in a paratrooper unit when a fellow soldier accidentally sprayed a chemical in his face. His eyesight slowly eroded until he became completely blind at age 28. Everything I had before fell apart, he told Associated Press reporter Aron Heller. All of a sudden you are nothing, a 3-year-old is more productive than you. You have to rebuild something from what is left. You have to understand what it is you want to do with your life.
For Sharon, that means staying busy. Soon after going blind, he dove into painting and sculpting before becoming a physical therapist. When he was going through a divorce, his lawyer introduced him to golf. Since then, Sharon has excelled in the sport. Sharon has beaten quite a few sighted golfers as well as his conquests of other blind golfers.
Obviously, a visually impaired golfer cant just show up at a golf course and head to the first tee without assistance. In Sharons case, he has quite a team. His swing coach is Ricardo Cordoba-Core, a sports psychologist from Bolivia whos trained Sharon from the beginning. Focusing on coordinating the elements of the golf swing and teaching him to visualize shots, Cordoba didnt let Sharon touch a golf club during their early lessons. Cordoba had him sweep the floor at home, using the broom as if it was a golf club. He tied Sharons arms to his body and made him swing with his hips. And when he finally gave him a club, Cordoba had Sharon only hit tiny coins.
Cordoba said Sharons handicap may be an advantage over sighted golfers. He said many golfers become nervous when facing bunkers, ponds and other hazards on the golf course. With Sharon, Cordoba said simply, I dont tell him about it.
Accompanying Sharon on the golf course is his caddie, Shimshon Levi, a good friend who helped buoy his spirits during his darkest hours after turning blind. Since then I am connected to his person, as if I am connected to him through an artery. I just love him deeply, Sharon said of Levi.
As with the assistants for all completely sightless golfers, Levis role is to guide Sharon around the course, set his ball on a tee, hand him a club and describe the shot. When putting, Levi tells Sharon the distance and then runs to the hole and claps his hands to tell Sharon where to roll the ball.
Sharon also has a dedicated sight dog that was allowed to follow him around in his early golf rounds. But the overeager canine so enjoyed retrieving golf balls that he was spared further duty. Regardless, Sharon has a great team that helps him enjoy a sport he loves. (Golf) doesnt give me one minute to think about my situation, he said.

HourlyHours to be determined
Intermediate LevelI am looking for a mix of experience and value
Have a product page like this (adult toys)
The page itself is fine in layout (i think), but - The theme will be changed to look like this:
http://www.lelo.com/theblog (Its the same WP theme that we use)
Anyways - The Price table - I would like a new design on that... But, im about to implement trustpilot score for each shop, so the design should leave room for a score like this:
http://www.internetpriser.dk/selskaber or http://www.internetpriser.dk/bredbaand - Where you can see the stars under each name...
Its the one that starts with a headline "Fun Factory Calla G4", then followed by "forhandler", a logo, Price, and CTA buttom.
The design should match the darker colours in the new theme.
Also - A bit futher Down, there is a "Yderligere Information" box.. The box with the attributes for the product... It should be a Little bit better looking, and more clean to Watch. Right not its not a nice sight :)
If you can do the WP code as well - Do let me know of that as well...
Both lelo.com/theblog and dildo-priser.dk are running the same Wordpress Theme - That is Sahifa. So changing the colors from lavendel as they are now, to the black and white theme lelo.com are running, is a matter of minuts to change. I just wanted you to see how the "new" color theme are going to be, when the changes are made. I dont want to overall change the way it look now, I want a new look and feel of the pricing table, and the "yderlige information", unless you have some drastical new changes for the better. So the job consists of
1. Create a Photoshop file with the new look of the overall page, as its going to be AFTER new colors, and new pricing table and new "yderlige information"
2. IF you do WP changes, how many hours will this take to implement, and can you make it in clean, responsive code?!
NOTE - Its a matter of doing changes to :
They are two simple php files, and I can add custom CSS either through the theme, or in the css files related to those files
I want nothing else changed on the page - Unless you have a damn good reason for why to do it, or a good suggesion for a complete make-over! But I doubt that! So no - this is not a 40-50 hours job!

This set of four (4) shell & tassel pattern glass sauce dishes is very attractive looking. Personally I'd serve ice cream or mixed berries with a dob of whipped cream on the top! They also would be great used as individual mint or nut dishes.
The shell pattern encompasses all four (4) corners and the tassel pattern is housed on all four (4) clear glass panels. These sauce dishes were made by Duncan & Co., circa early 1800's.
The sauce dishes are 3 ¾" square X 1 ¾" high. Based on the age of these sauce dishes, I feel the condition is very good. There is some roughage around the upper and lower rim on all four (4). It is hard to say whether most of the roughage is in the making. It is my opinion that this roughage occurred in the making.
I can attest to one chip on the upper rim of one (1) dish and a very slight nicks on the lower rims of all four (4) dishes – these, in my opinion, are due to use. Personally, I think they are in incredible condition for their age.

Food Lion Charitable Foundation and Western Union Foundation Donate $200,000 to Help Alleviate Child Hunger and Promote Academic Enrichment
Feeding America recently announced that the Food Lion Charitable Foundation and the Western Union Foundation have again joined forces to support programs that enrich the lives of children by donating a total of $200,000 to Feeding America and nine of its member food banks.
The Food Lion Charitable Foundation's contribution is in support of addressing child hunger, while the educational component is funded by the Western Union Foundation. The grant focuses on students in the communities that Food Lion and Western Union serve.
Food Lion Charitable Foundation President Kyle Price and Western Union Senior Vice President Carter Hunt presented checks to representatives from the respective food banks during a special presentation on October 12 at the Food Lion corporate offices in Salisbury, N.C.
"Food Lion has a long-standing partnership with Feeding America in an effort to fight hunger," said Price. "The Food Lion Charitable Foundation provides hundreds of grants each year to support important hunger-relief programs at agencies across our operating markets. We hope this contribution will help further the Feeding America mission and help these food banks to continue to make a difference in the fight to end child hunger."
Although food insecurity is harmful to any individual, it can be particularly devastating among children due to their increased vulnerability and the potential for long-term consequences. According to research, children growing up in food-insecure families are vulnerable to poor health and stunted development from the earliest stages of life.
The nine food banks in the Feeding America network that are recipients of the donation employ a variety of innovative approaches to provide nutritious food and nutrition education to children and adults in the communities.
The Feeding America food banks grant recipients are: Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina (Raleigh, NC), Food Bank of Southeastern Virginia (Norfolk, VA), Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina (Winston-Salem, NC), Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula (Hampton, VA), Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina (Charlotte, N.C), FeedMore, Inc. (dba Central Virginia Food Bank), (Richmond, Va), Capital Area Food Bank (Washington, D.C), Lowcountry Food Bank (North Charleston, SC) and Harvest Hope Food Bank (Greenville, SC).
Specifically, the grant donations will support Feeding America's Kids Cafe programs at each of the food banks. For example, the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina has 42 Kids Cafe sites in 12 different counties in North Carolina and South Carolina.
"With 170,000 children living in poverty in the Metrolina Region, the support of Food Lion and Western Union is so important in ensuring we meet our number one goal of ending child hunger in our 19 county service region of North and South Carolina," said Kay Carter, Executive Director of Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. "We are very grateful that these amazing companies share our concern for making sure every child has healthy nutritious meals and snacks through the Kids Cafe Program."
Established in 2001, the Food Lion Charitable Foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry in the communities it serves.
"It's hard to imagine that in the land of plenty there are nearly 17 million children at risk of going hungry," said Matt Knott, interim President and CEO of Feeding America, the nation's leading anti-hunger organization. "We are so grateful to have generous partners like the Food Lion Charitable Foundation and the Western Union Foundation for helping us make sure that every child have enough to eat."
Luella Chavez D'Angelo, Senior Vice President, Western Union Social Ventures, and President, Western Union Foundation, said, "The Western Union Foundation is proud to support the educational programs of Feeding America. Education is one of the surest paths to financial opportunity, and uniquely empowers people to make a lasting difference in the world."

The Acer Aim AO722 is an 11.6 display computer that provides the AMD C-60 dual-core brand. With a affordable cost you might believe the Aim One AO722 is a run-of-the-mill computer with a naturally inexpensive develop and uninspired style. You would be incorrect however, the Acer AO722 has a lot going for it considering the low cost but its of course not all rainbows and seeing stars. Study on as we examine more in this evaluation.
The Acer A0722 is provided in an range of colours, though our style is a easy Gourmet coffee Dark colored that has an established look, you can opt for a more vibrant red, bright, or red as other alternatives. The lid has a exclusive style contact by means of a swell like that of a rock tossed into drinking water. It Is not just a colour contact either, you can actually experience the swell as it is imprinted on the lid. The lid is also bright, which creates it bright and very but only if it is fresh, which is a obstacle simply because it choices up finger prints rather quickly.
The inside place of laptops computer has an all black complete. Around the display is a shiny frame while the lower outdoor patio is a flat plastic-type material the display place again choices up finger prints like insane, but the flat place does not. The laptop key pad uses flat important factors with an isle style design, it fills up out the entire place so there is no shrinking of key size even though this is a small computer. The computer is steep and tapers from all-around. All the sides and sides are spherical to avoid any sharpness.
The Acer Aim AO722 case is made of plastic-type material, as you would expect at this price. There is definitely some fold and twisting on the body due to the slimmer type of materials used. The laptop key pad also has fold, especially in the middle where it seems like a trampoline safety.
