The celebration will be much different when Steve and Vickie Haddix entertain their family Christmas night.
Much, much different.
Steve's parents will be there. So will Steve and Vickie's two sons, their wives and the four grandchildren. They will gather at a house that has been virtually stripped of its furnishings. There are a few folding chairs and a borrowed table in the house.
There will likely be tears. Lots of tears. "Most definitely," says the Haddix's son, Jonathan.
A Lawrenceburg man was charged Monday on a number of drug offenses, including trafficking within 1,000 feet of Anderson County High School.
Robert A. New, 26, of 1015 Rock Creek Road had bags of methamphetamine and heroin in his possession when approached by officer Clay Crouch of the Lawrenceburg Police Department early Monday morning outside of a residence on Briar Creek Drive, a subdivision off US 127 Bypass across from the high school, according to police reports.
In a letter to the editor in this week's paper (A4), a member of the jury that convicted a man of attempted manslaughter instead of attempted murder after he reportedly fired 100 rounds at police now says the laws today protect criminals more than cops.
"Next time I have jury duty, I'll relocate to Canada," writes juror Phyllis Kennerly, the first juror to speak publically since Nutgrass was convicted last month in Anderson Circuit Court.
The bill to pay for inmate housing in November was the highest in Anderson County history, it was revealed during last Thursday night's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court.
Jailer Joani Clark told magistrates that the bill soared to $68,672 for the month, the highest she's seen in her 23 years of service with the jailer's office.
The bulk of the total was paid to the Shelby County Detention Center, which contracts to house Anderson County's inmates at a cost of $29 per day.
When they think of Christmas, many envision a glittering Christmas tree surrounded by presents.
Others would be happy just to sit down to a decent meal.
Again this year, the Community Christmas Dinner will provide just that from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Christmas Day at Open Hands Food Pantry at 1111 Industry Road in Lawrenceburg.
But organizers say first they must gather enough food to feed the expected throng of 500 to 600 people.
After years of debate, delays and concerns over the possibility of a restaurant tax being enacted as a result, the Lawrenceburg City Council and Anderson County Fiscal Court have finally voted to merge their tourism efforts.
The fiscal court finalized the merger last Thursday night, with only Magistrate Juretta Wells voting against the measure that received final approval a week earlier with a unanimous vote of the city council.
A customer appreciation event last week at KORT Physical Therapy in Lawrenceburg ended up being a reunion for Judge-Executive Orbrey Gritton and the man who coached him while playing basketball at Transylvania University.
Gritton was reunited with Don Lane, who coached Gritton from 1985 to 1989 and recalled him as one of the best he ever had.
"He started from the moment he arrived on campus," Lane said after the event at KORT, where Lane's niece, Angie Moore, serves as regional vice president of marketing.
Evans makes dean's list at UK
Harrison Evans, a communications major at the University of Kentucky, made the school's dean's list with a 3.8 GPA for the fall semester, his family announced.
He plans to work toward his PhD in communications.
Evans is a 2013 graduate of Anderson County High School.
4-H meets at CAL
The following 4-H report was submitted by the Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg.
We met today (Dec. 15) and we completed three activities.
What a difference a night makes – a night of restful sleep, that is.
We all know the feeling… that alert, yet calm waking after a solid night of sleep just can't be replaced.
To assist, the Anderson County Senior Center will offer a free 60-minute yoga class each Wednesday, Jan. 6 through Feb. 10, at 1 p.m., the center announced.
The class is open to all adults and requires no prior yoga experience or advance registration. Adults 60 and over are especially encouraged to attend, the center said.
The Anderson County Adult Learning Center held its annual adult education GED graduation ceremony Dec. 7 at Anderson County Bearcat Theatre.
Thirteen students have attained their GED diplomas to date, and five of those students participated in the graduation ceremony and reception.
Beta Sigma Phi representative Joani Clark delivered a certificate and award letter to Zachery Ross Ashburn, this year's student inducted into the National Adult Education Honor Society.

Sunrise Propane explosion: Class action lawsuit gets green light
A judge has approved a class-action lawsuit for residents living near the massive Sunrise Propane explosion four years ago.

A judge has given the green light for a class action lawsuit in the massive Sunrise Propane explosion four years ago.
"This class proceeding will provide thousand (s) of class members with access to justice," Ontario Superior Court Justice Carolyn Horkins wrote in her decision.
The lawsuit affects residents living in an area of Downsview bounded by Keele St., Highway 401, Sheppard Ave. W. and Dufferin St., where asbestos and debris rained down after the Aug. 10, 2008, blast.
The Murray Rd. disaster forced the evacuation of 12,500 residents and caused more than $25 million in damages, according to class action lawyers. Sunrise employee Parminder Singh Saini, 25, was killed in the blast during an illegal truck-to-truck propane transfer.
The judge approved the lawsuit against several defendants, including Sunrise Propane Energy Group Inc., several of its suppliers, and The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), the regulator.
The TSSA was aware that unlawful truck-to-truck transfers of propane were ongoing at Sunrise's yard in spite of orders to the contrary and failed to take further action, the suit claims.
Sharon Strosberg, one of four lawyers in the lawsuit, said notices will be sent to affected residents to see if they want to opt out of the lawsuit. "If you do nothing, you're in," she said Wednesday.
Jeff Green, 44, who lives two blocks from the blast site, welcomed the certification, but said he feared the defendants do not have enough money to adequately compensate the victims.
Meanwhile, closing arguments are to continue next month in the trial of Sunrise and two directors on environmental as well as occupational health and safety charges.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
25:1-13 The circumstances of the parable of the ten virgins were taken from the marriage customs among the Jews, and explain the great day of Christ's coming. See the nature of Christianity. As Christians we profess to attend upon Christ, to honour him, also to be waiting for his coming. Sincere Christians are the wise virgins, and hypocrites the foolish ones. Those are the truly wise or foolish that are so in the affairs of their souls. Many have a lamp of profession in their hands, but have not, in their hearts, sound knowledge and settled resolution, which are needed to carry them through the services and trials of the present state. Their hearts are not stored with holy dispositions, by the new-creating Spirit of God. Our light must shine before men in good works; but this is not likely to be long done, unless there is a fixed, active principle in the heart, of faith in Christ, and love to God and our brethren. They all slumbered and slept. The delay represents the space between the real or apparent conversion of these professors, and the coming of Christ, to take them away by death, or to judge the world. But though Christ tarry past our time, he will not tarry past the due time. The wise virgins kept their lamps burning, but they did not keep themselves awake. Too many real Christians grow remiss, and one degree of carelessness makes way for another. Those that allow themselves to slumber, will scarcely keep from sleeping; therefore dread the beginning of spiritual decays. A startling summons was given. Go ye forth to meet Him, is a call to those prepared. The notice of Christ's approach, and the call to meet him, will awaken. Even those best prepared for death have work to do to get actually ready, 2Pe 3:14. It will be a day of search and inquiry; and it concerns us to think how we shall then be found. Some wanted oil to supply their lamps when going out. Those that take up short of true grace, will certainly find the want of it one time or other. An outward profession may light a man along this world, but the damps of the valley of the shadow of death will put out such a light. Those who care not to live the life, yet would die the death of the righteous. But those that would be saved, must have grace of their own; and those that have most grace, have none to spare. The best need more from Christ. And while the poor alarmed soul addresses itself, upon a sick-bed, to repentance and prayer, in awful confusion, death comes, judgment comes, the work is undone, and the poor sinner is undone for ever. This comes of having oil to buy when we should burn it, grace to get when we should use it. Those, and those only, shall go to heaven hereafter, that are made ready for heaven here. The suddenness of death and of Christ's coming to us then, will not hinder our happiness, if we have been prepared. The door was shut. Many will seek admission into heaven when it is too late. The vain confidence of hypocrites will carry them far in expectations of happiness. The unexpected summons of death may alarm the Christian; but, proceeding without delay to trim his lamp, his graces often shine more bright; while the mere professor's conduct shows that his lamp is going out. Watch therefore, attend to the business of your souls. Be in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 6. - At midnight. When sleep is deepest and awaking most unwelcome. The Lord will come "as a thief in the night" (Matthew 24:42-44; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). There was a cry made (γέγονεν, hath been made). The cry comes either from the watchers or from the advancing company. We are told by the apostle (1 Thessalonians 4:16) that "the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God." The suddenness of the event is indicated by the tense of the verb - "there hath been," "there is," a cry. The bridegroom cometh! The best manuscripts omit the verb, which omission makes the expression more graphic. The bridegroom is Christ; he comes now to judge, to punish and reward; and Christians have to meet him, and show how their duties have been performed, and how their personal preparation has been made.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And at midnight there was a cry made;.... Which is no other than the following notice of the bridegroom's coming, expressed in these words:
behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him: which supposes that then all things will be ready for his coming: all things respecting this world; all the strange and surprising events that were to come to pass, before the coming of Christ, will now be accomplished; an end put to all the monarchies of the earth; and all the preparations in nature, for the burning of the world finished: all things respecting the ungodly of the world: they will have filled up the measure of their iniquities, and finished their persecutions of the saints: and all things respecting the elect of God, they will be all born, and born again; they will have gone through all their sufferings for Christ, and have all their graces tried and perfected; for when the bridegroom comes, he will come to espouse them openly to himself, for which they must be prepared and adorned, and to take them to himself, that they may be for ever with him. It also supposes, that his coming will be very nigh at hand; it was so represented long ago; it is greatly desired by the saints to be quickly; and it will be in a very short time after this notice: and it signifies that there will be some notice given of it, a little before he comes; and that partly for the glory of his majesty; and that his own people, the wise virgins, may be ready; and that the foolish ones may be left without excuse: and this being prefaced with a "behold", shows the certainty of his coming, than which nothing is more certain, and to be depended on; as appears from Enoch's prophecy, and others of the Old Testament; from Christ's own promise; from the testimony of angels: from the words of the apostles; and from the ordinance of the Lord's supper: and also the importance of it; for things of the greatest moment will follow on it; such as the resurrection of the dead, the judgment of the whole world, the complete happiness of the saints, and the destruction of the wicked: and likewise, that it will be wonderful and astonishing; Christ will come in amazing glory, in his own, in his Father's, and in the glory of the holy angels, and of his power and authority, as the judge of quick and dead. And in this notice advice is given to the virgins,
go ye out to meet him; see Sol 3:11, and may intend either a going forth internally, as the wise virgins did in the exercise of grace, of faith in the coming of Christ, of love of his appearance, and earnest desire after it; or a going forth externally, as all the virgins did in a way of visible profession, taking up and trimming their lamps; or literally and corporeally, as the saints will, that will be found alive at Christ's coming. Now this notice is called "a cry"; and refers not to the voice of Christ in raising the dead, for this will be before the coming of Christ, whereas that will be when he is come; and for the same reason, not to the voice of the archangel, if he can be thought to be distinct from Christ. Some think it regards a secret general impulse, that will be upon the spirits of the people of God, with respect to the bridegroom's coming, but this does not seem to answer to a cry; rather it should intend some remarkable providence, as the earthquake in Revelation 11:13 when a tenth part of the city shall fall, seven thousand men of note be slain, and the rest affrighted; or the sounding of the seventh angel, Revelation 11:15, or, what is most likely, the voice of a great multitude, as of many waters, and of mighty thunderings, declaring, that the marriage of the Lamb was come, and the bride ready, Revelation 19:6, and will be a very loud one: it will awaken all the virgins, and will be the cry, not of one, but of many; and will be very sudden and surprising, though joyful to the saints: this cry will be made, not by the virgins, for they will be asleep; nor by Christ himself, for he will not be come; nor by the angels, for they will come with him, and not before; rather by the ministers of the Gospel, who are the angels so often spoken of in the book of the Revelations, who sound the trumpets at different times, and on different occasions; who also will sound this trumpet, and give this last and general notice of Christ's coming; who will be all at once apprized of it, and give an universal alarm of it together in all the churches: thus, as the notice of Christ's first coming was made by the prophets, the notice of his second coming will be made by the ministers of the Gospel: and this will be at "midnight": which expresses the state of the church a little before the coming of Christ: it will be a night season with it, a time of darkness both with respect to Gospel light, and the presence of God with his people; a time of coldness and lukewarmness, as to zeal for God, love to his people, and concern for the interest of Christ; a time of drowsiness and sleep, of insensibility and security, of indolence and inactivity: so as the coming of Christ will be later than was first expected; it will be sudden, and at unawares, and like a thief in the night; but whether it will be literally in the night season, as his first coming, is not certain. The Jews expect (q), that at the end of the world Moses and Messiah will come in the night, the one from the wilderness, and the other from Rome: and they make frequent mention of God's going into the garden of Eden, or paradise, at midnight, and there rejoicing with good men. It is said (r), that R. Eliezer and R. Jose
"were sitting one night, and studying in the law, and about midnight, a man cried (or the cock crowed), bless ye the blessing; says R. Eliezer, now is, the time that the holy, blessed God goes into the garden of Eden, to rejoice with the righteous.''
(q) Targum Hieros. in Exodus 12.42. (r) Zohar in Exod. fol. 76. 4. & in Lev. fol. 21. 1. & 23. 2.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
6. And at midnight—that is, the time when the Bridegroom will be least expected; for "the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night" (1Th 5:2).
there was a cry made, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him—that is, Be ready to welcome Him.

Reviews for METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE (US)
Both an excellent action game and Metal Gear gameLegolas_Katarn | Jan. 7, 2016 | See all Legolas_Katarn's reviews »
Metal Gear Rising is easily one of the most fun hack and slash games I've played with good combat mechanics, a very fun to use blade mode that has to be used for defense as well as attack, great boss fights, and a soundtrack that goes very well with the action. That alone would make it a game I recommend but Revengeance not only manages to be a great hack and slash game but it manages to be a great Metal Gear, not just with the kind of plot and characters you would expect from the series but from the entertaining codec calls, being able to use stealth while hiding in boxes and barrels, to comedic moments in cutscenes and the collectibles that would be common in a Metal Gear game such as a soldier becoming distracted by and petting a cat as his boss goes on the series usual rant about his ideas or finding hidden MIBs (men in boxes). After the main story is complete that are a large variety of VR levels to play and two extra levels where you play as two other characters from the game, with both characters having unique abilities, extra cutscenes, and one having a unique boss fight, both stages do use a combination of areas from the main story though. There's three weapons you can use with your usual sword that take the place of your strong attack, and a lot of weapons that can be unlocked to replace your main weapon. Different body types and wigs can also give you special passive abilities like holding more items or having unlimited focus for your blade mode. The only complaint I have is that the camera can make things difficult at time. Great game well worth buying.
Amazing hack and slash gameplayWildfella | May 26, 2015 | See all Wildfella's reviews »
Love this game. I like how there isn't a big emphasis on stealth but its still an option while the combat is nice and fluid. The amazing soundtrack this game has delivers a high octane hack and slash feeling. Good story with bits of humor here and there. The dlc packs that are included form the console version are not too great but give a bit more insight into the main story. Its a nice bonus to include different costumes and weapons that can be unlocked in game, some of which includes throwbacks to the previous games in the MGS series. The only drawback I have with it is the camera controls. All in all its a great game with an even more amazing soundtrack with great replay-ability. I've played the main story about 6 times myself.
Nice hack and slash spin offsmilzoboboz | Jan. 12, 2015 | See all smilzoboboz's reviews »
Really nice hack and slash focused entirely on pure combat with one of the smartest combat techniques I ever seen (blade slashing mode). In this game you slash foes without thinking too much or having to solve useless puzzles to get through the levels. Graphic is awesome and the programmers managed to get a lot of polygons where needed, and almost none where no one cares, totally appreciated that because this game never ever drops fps. Music is nice, you get a lot of electro-ambient music running around and pop-rock music on boss fights (I have to say I don't like that kind of music, but since boss fights are not hours long it doesn't hurt much) Plot is good, of course nothing new: the bad guys against the children + the world, the good guys trying to save them + the world, but it was at least enjoyable. Gameplay is fantastic, you have the classic slashing around, parries (not really a good button combination for those, a guard button was probably better than light attack one) and a blade slashing mode that works slowing time a lot and letting you MANUALLY slash things (having the slashed object cut exactly where you aim). I felt like Goemon with that one. Difficulty seemed quite fair. I have to say I'm not used to the semi-interactive cinematic system (press button X, now button Y, spam button Z, etc) and so I had hard time with bosses for like 5 minutes at 0,1% while failing the semi-automated cinematics instructions... About flaws, I think there are just two quite noticeable: the replenishing mechanic should have been far less than FULL replenishment (this quite often makes things too easy) and the camera movement is awful with a mouse (default keybindings are instead "acceptable"). So, well, the camera is fine if you have a controller since it's a 100% port from console versions (DLCs included) but controlling the camera with a mouse is just not possible at 100% effectiveness. Your mouse works like an analogic lever (which is not) and thus the erratic camera movement with mice. Anyway it was good overall. So let's say totally recommended if you have a gamepad, not so much if you've not and you're not that much an hack and slash fan.
Metal Gear Silly: Physics BreakerMadDemon64 | Jan. 8, 2015 | See all MadDemon64's reviews »
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is not Metal Gear Solid. But it doesn't have to be because it is just as fun. Back during Metal Gear Solid 2, you played as Raiden, and you do again in Revengeance. This time, however, you are not going to spend most of the game sneaking around corners, avoiding cameras and guards; this time you will be running up walls and tearing through everything in your way with the world's sharpest katana. Everything is fast paced in Revengeance, and it knows how to get your blood pumping. The story is simple and straightforward in Revengeance, a stark contrast to the complex and engaging stories of past Solid games. However, Revengeance makes up or this not-too-distressing problem with comedy and a little bit of pathos that is missing in Solid games. This turns into an odd balancing act that makes the story and interactions in Revengeance neither better nor worse than the stories and interactions in Solid games, but just different, much like the gameplay. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is highly recommended for people who love fast paced action games. It is a departure from Metal Gear Solid in terms of gameplay, but the world still feels pretty much the same.

So if you've played Metal Gear Solid before you will be quick to find that this isn't like any of the previous...Yes story wise it is but gameplay has a whole new approach, Now we enter a quick paced hack and slash fest with detailed chopping,countering and interesting new characters...This whole game is over the top in a rather good way. Fun, right to the action, and intense. The only thing I didn't like about the game was there was no guarding...you could only counter which at times was a bit difficult for me, but after a while you can master it. Try this and have fun!
One of the best games in the history of spin-off games.KingTed | Dec. 9, 2014 | See all KingTed's reviews »
MGR Revengeance is Platinum Games' over the top take on the Metal Gear franchise. Who has never dreamed of playing Gray Fox, the cyborg ninja from the first Metal Gear Solid? Alright, this is not exactly THE Gray Fox but Raiden, aka Jack the Ripper, has obtained some extreme bonuses in charisma since his debut in MGS2! The result is your typical PG Action game. Great gameplay. Excellent replay value and crazy amount of awesomeness in each segment of this badass adventure. The only problem is the camera. It's too close to your character, making things quite frustrating when ennemies behind your point of view can attack you while you just can't see them. You like action games? You love Ninja Games? You have to play this game.
One of The Most Outrageous Games...GaryOak2792 | July 26, 2014 | See all GaryOak2792's reviews »
You know the game is good when you are jumping off of missiles, proceeding to then leap over a helicopter and slice that helicopter into hundreds of tiny pieces (Which are conveniently counted up for you to the side). In all seriousness though, if you are on the fence about getting this game, I would definitely recommend it at it's current price and state. The game is full-on, nonstop action with the occasional cut scene or data codex to progress the story. In my own personal opinion, the story was definitely unique, although I found myself focusing more on the combat and clever jives that the game just throws out at you every other sentence. If you are here for a in-depth, expansive story, you may find your slightly disappointed, that is, until you start slashing things to bits, and you will find that two or three hours just flew out the window without you noticing. Honestly, if you are looking for a game where you fight giant robots and monsters in a poncho and sombrero, this is the game for you. If you aren't entirely sure, buy it anyway. 9/10

Pros -Incredibly fun gameplay -hilariously over-the-top dialogue and music -great graphics and effects -rewarding difficulty -very stylish Cons -hardcore MGS fans might not like the genre switch -plot is fairly weak Metal Gear Solid Rising shows that you can have both style and substance, with excellent gameplay and a hilarious over-the-top theme. While Metal Gear purists might hate it for deviating from the formula of older games, Rising is still an absolutely fantastic game.

Throughout the game I loved the game-play, but at times it felt repetitive ripping out spines after spines. Metal Gear Rising's campaign clocks in on average 7 hours which is pretty short for some people. Overall I loved the soundtrack and boss fights, and I hope they release a sequel.
Is an Amazing game, but apart of the Metal Gear SagaCarlosX95 | Feb. 18, 2014 | See all CarlosX95's reviews »
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is an amazin game on his own category, we are talking about a game that not only change the style of gameplay of the Metal Gear Saga, also change the main protagonist, from the silent Solid Snake to the fastest and furious ninja: Raiden. The game has his own potential in the new category that has entered, leaving behind the tactical espionage action from snake, to a "lighting bolt action" the graphics are great, even in the minimum, surpass a little the PS3 and X360 versions. Maybe the most of the fans of Snake criticize the game just because change the genre, but i give it a chance and a like it, even is not snake, it still have that essence.
Short, Fun, and Crazy!Officebat | Feb. 14, 2014 | See all Officebat's reviews »
It is in the true style of Platinum games of being incredibly crazy and sometimes tough! The game does come from the consoles last year and this pc translation is pretty good for a JPN developer on PC. The game looks very nice still and plays well. There are a few bits of clunkiness but it is still worth buying!
Over the Top OutlandishCrimsonWizard | Feb. 10, 2014 | See all CrimsonWizard's reviews »
Metal Gear Rising is yet another spinoff game of the long storied Metal Gear series, but is basically a sequel to Metal Gear Solid 4, starring everyone's favorite punching bag from the second game, Raiden! Of course, if you've played past MGS2, the developers have worked to turn Raiden from being the pretty boy annoying rookie into the one eyed metal death machine you see in Revengeance. I admit, the game does a very nice job of using that fact to give the game a more energetic and speedy action mood with Raiden executing between ninja runs, swift sword combos, and brutal Mortal Kombat-like kill moves. The game though is a bit indecisive at times on what it wants to be. The game's initial set up works really well with Raiden being a part of a security detail before the job goes bad, and he swears revenge on those who killed his employer. You get to slice open some baddies and even get a fun fight against a Metal Gear Ray at the end of the first level, at least keeping a connection to the giant mechs even if the huge build up to them is over. However, the game quickly delves into darker subjects, some familiar in Metal Gear such as the horrors and real costs of war, but also really focuses on the innocent children sucked into the system. Despite these legitimately unsettling and gut-wrenching moments, the game can quickly delve right back into comedy and high action with the series use of over the top hammy bosses and even Raiden himself at points, and some of the silly codex exchanges between you and your team. It's not bad, but does make me wonder sometimes if the makers of the game were going for awesomeness, a dramatic thriller, or a mix of the two into a dark comedy. If nothing else though, the game does a great job of keeping things interesting. Between the ridiculous ninja sword action, the quirky exchanges and cutscenes between you and all the characters in the game, and the over the top scenarios Raiden forces himself through, Revengeance is great way to kill about 10 hours. There's even more if you play around with other difficulties, the free DLC in the PC version, or the VR missions. Speaking of the PC version, it works really well and makes me happy to see more Japanese games getting PC ports like Dark Souls 2 in the future. I had no real issues with either control scheme. I admit the camera could be annoying at times, but that seems to be more of a flaw of the game itself. It looks and sounds really great too, you'll be treated to some really energetic boss themes straight from a power rock and roll album, matching the awesome portions of the game really well. The developers did a fantastic job making it look good on PC, especially when they get out of the urban environments and play around with color like the Japanese garden level. So final thoughts on the game? It's a lot of fun, but has some little issues like the camera and the tone of the game jumping around from serious to zany, but I was rather entertained. The combat system works fairly well, though the bosses might give you the fits at times. Also, I really wish this game had a quickfire button for sub-weapons like the grenades, that sluggish bit of control feels so out of place in an otherwise fast paced game, but I guess they don't want you to spam them perhaps? In any case, MGR: Revengeance is fun and even if it's a little short (if you cut out the cutscenes and codex messages), there's plenty of content after the main game. At the reduced price on PC and the free DLC missions, it's a great deal, and I highly recommend it, even if you weren't a fan of the stealthier Metal Gear games.
"Dangerously cheesy!"OMGmyFACE | Feb. 5, 2014 | See all OMGmyFACE's reviews »
This game was a blast. Slicing enemies into hundreds of little pieces as rock music (complete with hilariously serious vocals) blares. MGR:R almost seems like it was made as a response to the gamers who complained about style of substance or how much they hated QTEs because those are pretty much all you get in this title: 5+ hours of running around, flailing weapons at people, until it's time to mash a button or two. And, you know what, it was great for that reason alone. Metal Gear Rising is to video games what Crank is to film. Sometimes you want to debate whether or not video games are art, sometimes you want to rip off a giant mech's armsword and use it to slice through the rest of it as someone in your headphones yells DmC-grade angsty lyrics at you.
Hype Rising: Revengancemars_elliot | Jan. 25, 2014 | See all mars_elliot's reviews »
Given a healthy amount of praise from both the media and the forums, I may have gone in to this expecting too much. While the game itself could be considered a reasonably passable hack'n'slash, that can also be said for the options. Simple features such as V-sync are not present, and of the features that are available, some don't work right. When I attempted to adjust the resolution up to 1080p while in full screen, my monitor blacked out and said "not within range". Now before you say to yourself "this guy doesn't know what he's talking about!", 1080p works fine in windowed mode. Upon browsing the forums I read of other users problems, some similar, some different than mine. For some "fullscreen" causes there to be black bars around their monitor. Another problem I had with the game were the mission lengths. Although the game is said to be very short in total length, the same can not be said about breaks between missions. With frequent, long cut scenes and frustratingly cheap boss battles there are few real rests during the campaign. This would not necessarily be a problem if I was enjoying the game, but I'm not. Determined to get the story experience I paid for at a cost of less frustration, I wanted to go back and set the game difficulty to easy. Unfortunately, you can't change difficulty until you've finished the mission. As an early example, for me to reset the difficulty prior to completing the first mission I would have to restart the "R-00" mission, which was not particularly fun, and then subsequently replay the mission I am already bored with. Probably not going to happen. Although this game feels like it is brimming with potential fun, it all feels bogged down by a clunky UI, poorly implemented options for PC owners, and tedious boss battles. Considering this game is cheaper on consoles, buyer beware.

It sort of reminds me of Ninja Gaiden 3, and I didn't really like Ninja Gaiden 3 all that much. At least in this one, you get to kick them into the air and keep slicing them as long as you desire. The voice acting is very terrible. I'm just never a fan of English dubs because it just sounds so dull to me. I usually like to play these games with Japanese voices because the emotion put out by Japanese voice acting is more powerful than English. I don't really recommend this game, but go ahead if you like cutting up things for fun.
I want to like it more but it's just so clunky.TomWeise62305 | Jan. 21, 2014 | See all TomWeise62305's reviews »
This game is a decent PC port on the technical side of things. Supports up to 1080p with marginally better IQ than the consoles versions with little to no frame drops. Unfortunately it's capped at 60fps which is a bummer for us 120hz users. A game like this would benefit greatly from increased framerate. Gameplay wise it's a pretty typical hack n' slash besides blade mode. My biggest is issue is the absolutely horrendous camera. Half the time, it goes wherever it wants without user input. It auto center when you don't want it to. The FOV is way too low for a hack n' slash to the point where you can't even see enemies from the sides coming to attack you. The camera wouldn't be so bad if you didn't need to "aim" the analog stick towards enemies to parry their attacks. The camera having a mind of its own makes parrying ten times harder than it should be. Also, the lock on button doesn't work particularly well either and still contributes to enemies sneaking up on your sides. The bosses and larger enemies can be a bit on the cheap side as well making them less fun to fight than normal soldiers. Graphically the game is average at best which wouldn't be so bad if the framerate was at least uncapped. I'm far from the best hack n' slash player, but for me this game ended up being every bit as frustrating as it was fun.
Different from DMC, but still very good.mmmbbbb | Jan. 14, 2014 | See all mmmbbbb's reviews »
Metal Gear Rising has you playing as the main character from Metal Gear Solid 2, Raiden, and while i wasn't huge about missing out on Snake in that game, I am more than happy to play as him in this game. The gameplay is similar to other conventional Beat 'em Ups, where you spend most of the game only pressing a few buttons, and killing a LOT of enemies. While other games, such as DMC, have you using several different moves and combos to juggle enemies in some lengthy battles, Rising has you cutting regular enemies to pieces quickly, and rather satisfyingly. But, that being said, normal combat isn't anything TOO special. However, when it comes to the boss fights, that is where my opinion changes. The game simply outdoes the boss fights. From the variety of battles themselves, to the amazing rock style battle themes. The atmosphere is always intense, and you always feel like you're a bona-fide badass, with your over-the-top attack moves. If you're looking for a game that truly gives you a satisfying rush, then this is the game for you. But, if you're a die hard fan of DMC, you may find this game to be a bit too much of a button-masher.

When the Phillies unloaded Hunter Pence, Shane Victorino and Joe Blanton last summer, the thought was that it freed up enough money in the upcoming offseason to make at least one major free-agent signing.
B.J. Upton was a top target. Fans clamored for Josh Hamilton or Nick Swisher. The Phils were in on Angel Pagan, Torii Hunter and Cody Ross.
Ruben Amaro Jr. didn't like the price on any of those six players and let each sign elsewhere. Upton found $15 million per year from the Braves. Hamilton got a $25 million AAV from the Angels. Swisher will earn $14 million each season through 2016. Pagan, Hunter and Ross cashed in for a combined nine years and $92 million.
The Phillies' offseason was quieter than expected. That's not to say they erred by refraining from paying a player more than his worth, or that they didn't spend their dollars efficiently. But Amaro doled out just $21.35 million on his major-league free agents, less than half of his previous offseason low as Phillies general manager. That figure doesn't include the salaries the Phillies took on via trade, which is $6 million for Michael Young and approximately $500,000 for Ben Revere.
Last offseason, Amaro spent $94.5 million on 13 major-league free agents, including $50 million on Jonathan Papelbon. The winter before, he spent $126.85 million, with $120 million going to Cliff Lee. In the 2009-10 offseason, his first as Phillies GM, Amaro spent $47.5 million on Raul Ibanez, Jamie Moyer, Chan Ho Park and Miguel Cairo.
The Phillies actually rank toward the bottom of baseball in money spent this offseason. Their $21.35 million in free-agent commitments ranks 20th in total dollars, and 23rd in the annual average value of their deals. Amaro gave out six contract years with those signings for an AAV of $3.56 million.
The Braves spent more than five times as much as the Phillies in free agency, and that excludes the $38 million they added by trading for Justin Upton.
The Nationals spent more than three times as much as the Phils, not even counting the money of outfield acquisition Denard Span.
The Giants, Diamondbacks and Cubs all committed four times more to free agents.
Now, the caveat is that the Phillies made their huge "free-agent splash" six months ago when they prevented Cole Hamels from reaching the open market by signing him to a six-year, $144 million extension. Had the sides reached that agreement in the winter as opposed to the summer, the Phillies would have been second only to the Dodgers in offseason spending.
All calculations of the Phillies' current payroll are estimates, as salaries aren't yet available for team-controlled players like Revere, John Mayberry Jr., Domonic Brown, the young relievers, etc. For luxury tax purposes, player bonuses and benefits are also taken into account. A rough number of where the Phillies are now is somewhere between $172-175 million. The threshold a team must stay under without paying a tax is $178 million. Next season that number increased to $189 million.
The only move left at this point would be for a backup catcher, if the Phillies even consider Miguel Olivo or Rod Barajas an upgrade over the season-opening duo of Erik Kratz and Humberto Quintero.
Aside from that, it looks as though Amaro's thriftiness this offseason will leave the Phillies with a bit of flexibility under the luxury tax to make a deadline deal if the corner outfield situation doesn't work or a starting pitcher goes down with an injury.

Dom Mintoff, a fiery postwar socialist leader of Malta who closed NATO bases, evicted British interests, courted China and Libya and even banned The Times of London to chart an independent course for his tiny Mediterranean island nation, died Monday. He was 96.
His death was announced by the Maltese government, The Times of Malta reported.
Mintoff was secretive, unpredictable and, to enemies, a ruthless tyrant. But to admirers, he was the father of modern Malta, a charismatic Labor Party fixture for 35 years who was prime minister from 1955 to 1958, when Malta had limited self-rule as a British colony, and from 1971 to 1984, when his vision of a nonaligned, self-sufficient republic was substantially realized.
In an often-conquered land used as a strategic military garrison by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Knights of St. John, Napoleon Bonaparte and, since 1814, the British, Mintoff fiercely sought an end to Malta's exploitation by foreign powers, a revival of national dignity and economic and diplomatic ties with nations that could underwrite Maltese neutrality.
Mintoff, an architect and civil engineer, helped rebuild Malta after devastating bombing by Axis powers in World War II. He rose to prominence as a socialist legislator in the late 1940s and led his party to power in 1955, battling against the conservative Nationalist Party and feuding with its allies in the Roman Catholic Church.
In three years as prime minister, he sought to integrate Malta into Britain, with a status like Northern Ireland's — having a legislature of its own but electing members to Parliament in Westminster and gaining access to British economic aid, military defense and other benefits. When England refused, Mintoff resigned as prime minister and began advocating full independence.
In 1964, after intense Nationalist Party negotiations with London, Malta gained independence under a constitution that initially retained Queen Elizabeth II as head of state.

This year, Google's science fair teams up with LEGO Mindstorms. The Google Science fair, although limited to the younger among us, always generates a great list of good and innovative ideas.
This year, sponsored by LEGO Mindstorms, we will hopefully see some more applications of Mindstorms in the field of science. Sign up is ending the end of this month (for all you that are, or have kids that are between 14 and 18 years old).
There are some really nice projects and videos with background information from this one and previous Science Fairs, on the Science Fair Youtube channel.

We've been working with Chef (formerly OpsCode) for a couple years now. I can safely say that I've spent more time crawling through forums and reviewing code documentation than I care to admit. In all that time, I've never seen anyone clearly document how to use Chef dynamically. I hope that I can share some cool ideas in this post and maybe somebody out there can make some magic happen similar to what we've done.
For those of you who may not know, Chef is a framework that makes system configuration ridiculously easy. Their terminology is a little strange as it follows a cooking analogy (hence Chef, get it?). A recipe is essentially a script, or some form of code that yields a result. A cookbook is a collection of recipes. Tools to interact with Chef include knife, etc. The analogy only stretches so far and soon you get into more practical terms like node, role, and environment.
I mentioned using Chef dynamically. So here's the problem. You build a role with some recipes and assign it to a node. The node then takes the role, downloads the recipes and acts on them. The result is a configured server. It's very cool, but what happens when you have hundreds of services iterating through hundreds of code versions, each of which configure their servers slightly differently? Managing hundreds of roles with versioning control can quickly become a nightmare. The trick is to handle all of the code dynamically and in a single maintainable place. You have one master dynamic recipe that is capable of reading in a configuration file and acting on the settings inside. Then, you take the configuration file and push it up into a Data Bag (Chef's generalized data storage system).
For example:
The data bag:
"Install_apache": true,
"settting": "blah",
In the recipe:
### Get the data bag
my_data_bag = Chef::DataBagItem.load("#{my_data_bag_name}", "#{my_data_bag_version}")
If (my_data_bag['install_apache'] == true)
#Do everything you need to install apache.
#and use apache_settings to do it.
That's a really rough, really quick example, but it covers the gist of the idea. You can even use off-the-shelf cookbooks by taking the settings specified in the data bag and assigning them to the node as attributes, which causes them to take precedence over cookbook default values.
We've had the discussion about just using role files instead of data bags a number of times. Using a role is the standard for everybody out there, so why don't we go that way? The answer is version control. Data bags can be versioned. When you're dealing with individual specifics for each stack versioning the configuration data allows you to tie configuration directly to a version of code. This allows for dependency matching, as well as a myriad of other niceties that can be realized once you get into it. The data bags approach also allows you to easily roll back a configuration, meaning if somebody uploads a bad configuration and screws up their stack, we can just roll back to a previous data bag with no sweat off our backs. It adds a layer of complexity to the code so this isn't an efficient answer for everything out there, but for configurations that are often changing, this makes server change control as easy as checking a file.
To make it even nicer, build a UI that creates the configuration file for you. This will allow your development teams to just click a couple boxes to indicate their desired settings, click a button, and have a pile of fully configured boxes ready to take live traffic. Just like magic.

Charles Wallace Fellowship
Applications for the 2016-2017 Charles Wallace Fellowship are invited from Indian social anthropologists or sociologists with proven records of excellence in both research and international publication.
The Charles Wallace Fellowships are funded by the Charles Wallace India Trust and administered in India by the British Council. They are intended for Indian academic or professional social anthropologists or sociologists in their 30s or early 40s who would benefit from a period of study in a British university whilst contributing to the life and work of the host institution. The Fellowship at Queen's University is tenable for three months (from either 1 February to 30 April or 1 April to 30 June 2016 by agreement). As well as pursuing their own studies, using the facilities available at Queen's University, the Fellow may be asked to participate in seminars or give a few lectures. They may also pay short visits to other UK universities. The Fellow will be expected to submit a short report on their activities to the Trustees towards the end of their visit.
The total value of the Fellowship is approximately £5000 (£4000 contributed by the Charles Wallace Trust and £1000 by Queen's University Belfast) which will cover national and international travel and a monthly stipend of about £1200. The latter is held by Anthropology on behalf of the Fellow. The Queen's University of Belfast will assist with finding residential accommodation, and will provide office space and computer facilities.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: There is no application form. Applicants should send an up-to-date curriculum vitae and a letter of application indicating how they would spend the time at Queen's University. Two samples of published work must also be submitted (but no more than two, please). Applications for 2016-2017 should reach Anthropology by 30 September, 2016. Applications should be sent to:
Marie George (firstname.lastname@example.com) , Anthropology Office, School of History and Anthropology, Queen's University of Belfast, Belfast BT7 1NN, UK. Tel. +44 (0) 28 9097 3876
SELECTION PROCEDURE: The selection is made by Anthropology in consultation with the Trustees' representative in London who will write to the successful applicant confirming the terms of the Fellowship. This letter can then be used by the Fellow as official support for a visa application. Otherwise most correspondence takes place between the applicants/Fellow and the Anthropology office.
In order to maximise the benefit gained from the Fellowship, both for the Fellow and for Anthropology, preference may be given to applicants whose research interests fall within the following areas, all of which are specialisms within the School: ethnic conflict, international borders, environmental anthropology, anthropology of performance, anthropology of art, human rights, emotions, and medical anthropology.

Treating problems caused by bone metastases
There are many ways to treat pain caused by cancer spread to bone. Almost any of the treatments mentioned in earlier sections can be helpful in treating pain.
Pain medicines are often very helpful. Treating the cancer, such as with chemotherapy (chemo) or hormone therapy, can also help. Radiopharmaceuticals may be a good choice if the cancer is widespread in the bones (these were discussed in the section about systemic treatments). If there's only one or a few areas of cancer causing bone pain, local treatments like radiation therapy or ablation can give pain relief. If the pain is caused by a broken bone, treating the fracture with surgery helps a lot. Keeping the bones strong with bisphosphonates (zoledronic acid/Zometa or pamidronate/Aredia) or denosumab/Xgeva can also help.
Early symptoms of having too much calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia) include:
- Constipation
- Passing urine very often
- Feeling sluggish or sleepy
- Feeling thirsty all the time and drinking large amounts of fluid
Late signs and symptoms can include muscle weakness, muscle and joint aches, confusion, coma, and kidney failure.
High calcium levels affect the kidneys, leading to patients passing too much urine and becoming dehydrated. The dehydration worsens the high calcium levels. That is why giving large amounts of intravenous (IV) fluids is a main part of the treatment for hypercalcemia. Bisphosphonate drugs like pamidronate or zoledronic acid are also used to bring blood calcium levels down quickly. These drugs are given into the vein by IV infusion and may be repeated monthly. Other drugs can be used if these don't work. Once the calcium level is back to normal, treating the cancer (with chemo, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, etc.) can help keep the calcium level from getting too high again.
Broken bones
When cancer moves into bones, it can make them weak and more likely to break (fracture). The leg bones near the hip often fracture because these bones support most of your weight, but other bones can fracture as well. Cancer in the bone may cause severe pain for a while before the bone actually breaks. If an x-ray is taken at that time, it may show that the bone is likely to break.
When possible, your doctor will try to prevent the fracture. For arm and leg bones, a metal rod is put through the weak part of the bone to help support it. This is done while you are under general anesthesia (in a deep sleep and unable to feel pain).
If the bone has already broken, then something else will be done to support the bone. Usually a steel support is put over the fractured area of the bone.
Radiation treatments may be given after surgery to try to prevent any more damage. Usually about 10 treatments are needed, but some doctors give the total dose of radiation in only 1 or 2 treatments. The radiation will not make the bone stronger, but it may stop further damage.
Bones of the spine (the vertebrae [ver-tuh-bray]) can also fracture. If this occurs, vertebroplasty ([VUR-tuh-bro-plass-tee] discussed in the section "Local treatments for bone metastases") may be used to support them. In this procedure a type of bone cement is injected into the damaged bones. The area is numbed first and an imaging scan, such as a CT scan, is used to guide the needle to the right place. Vertebroplasty often reduces pain right away and can be done in an outpatient setting.
Medicines you take or the cancer itself may make you confused, dizzy, or weak. This can lead to falls and accidents. Falls can cause fractures, especially in bones weakened by cancer. Talk with your cancer care team about safety equipment you can use at home. Some things that you might find helpful are shower chairs, walkers, and handrails.
Spinal cord compression: When cancer threatens to paralyze, it's an emergency
Sometimes the cancer will spread to a bone in the spine. The cancer can grow large enough to press against the spinal cord, causing the spinal cord to be squeezed (compressed). This can show up in different ways:
- Back pain (with pain that may go down one or both legs)
- Numbness of the legs or belly
- Leg weakness or trouble moving the legs
- Incontinence (loss of control of urine or stool) or problems urinating
If you notice symptoms like these, call your doctor right away or go to the emergency room. If not treated right away, they can lead to life-long paralysis (inability to walk or even move).
If the cancer is just starting to press on the spinal cord, treatment can help prevent paralysis and help relieve the pain. Radiation is often used as part of the treatment, often along with a type of drug called a corticosteroid. Often the radiation is started within the first 12 to 24 hours. If the spinal cord is already showing signs of damage (such as weakness in the legs), immediate surgery followed by radiation may be the best treatment. This may allow a patient to walk and function better than if they get radiation alone. People with very advanced cancer or other serious medical problems may not be able to have this kind of surgery.

State replacing blue welcome signs along interstates.
NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. -- People driving in and out of Florida will notice something different by early 2015.
The state is planning to spend about $3 million on installing new gateway welcome signs at multiple locations along the Florida border.
Currently, drivers coming into Florida are greeted with tall blue signs on the side of the interstate that say "Welcome to Florida" and "The Sunshine State."
According to Gina Busscher, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Transportation, those signs have become "cluttered" with other signage and appear dated compared to other states.
"We've been looking to improve our border for about a decade," she said. "There has some sort of signage up probably since the '60's."
Busscher said designers looked at gateway signs in Ohio, New Mexico, Minnesota and South Carolina for inspiration. She said it wasn't until last year plans became more formalized.
"We just need something more dramatic," she said.
Replacing the blue signs along I-95 in Nassau County will be two 30 feet high towers connected by a 40 feet long mock suspension bridge.
One side will say "Florida Welcomes You" while another side says "Thank You for Visiting Florida." Additional signage like seat belt and safety reminders will be moved farther away.
Similar signs are planned for border locations along Interstates 75 and 10. Busscher said because there's an existing overpass at the border on I-75, that gateway sign will physically extend over the roadway.
The hope, Busscher said, is the change will make a stronger impression on the millions of people who visit Florida each year. In 2012, state tourism officials reported a record 91 million visitors.
But some of those people don't think this plan is worth the price tag.
First Coast News showed several tourists the renderings for the proposed signage at the Florida Welcome Center in Nassau County.
Deb McGregor from Canada said, "...that ($3 million) sounds really high to me. I don't think it's worth it. I think there's probably better places to spend the money. Education. Health care. That kind of thing."
John Strassenreiter from New York said, "That's a lot for a welcome sign. I'd rather see them put that kind of money into education. I'm a retired teacher. If it came down to it, that's a lot of money."
Busscher said FDOT has heard no negative feedback about spending the money. She said the funding is available in the agency's budget.
Bids, she said, are expected to go out this summer. Construction could start as early as the fall with a target completion date of early 2015.

The Art of Hosting practice was born out of the field of large group facilitation, where self-organization and "a leader in every seat" are prime organizing principles. From our experience with these methods and modes we began thinking about the new leadership paradigms brought to us from complexity science and living systems theory. And we seek to marry these practical methodologies and these large scale world view with accessible design tools and frameworks that keep us in the dynamic and creative dance of chaos and order.
Within an Art of Hosting learning event you will experience:
World Cafe, Open Space Technology, PeerSpirit Circle, The Work of Byron Katie, Appreciative Inquiry, Pro-Action Cafe, Collective Story Harvest, Applied Improvisation.
Living systems, Theory U, Chaordic design, Theories of complex adaptive systems, Emergence
Participatory decision making, Cynefin framework, chaordic design
The Art of Hosting is an experiential learning workshop where we select from these and other tools to build a learning container where participants can bring their real questions and challenges and, working with others, use these as a basis for learning and developing a hosting practice.
You are invited to bring your current questions and challenges as a basis for your own learning and practice throughout the retreat, and you will have the opportunity to dive into real time collaboration with a diversity of participants who are stepping into this work locally and beyond.

Artist Yoyo Ferro's [2] latest work appeals to Star Wars [3] and origami [4] fans alike! Using teeny tiny pieces of paper, the artist has made an origami Yoda, complete with wrinkled green face, orange robe and staff. The origami master [5] based this awesome Yoda on an original design by Fumiaki Kawahata. To see how these paper renditions of Yoda are made, check out the video after the jump!
© MarigamiToo, to see the rest of the instructional videos, visit their website [6]
The miniature Yoda is made from one small folded sheet of orange tissue paper [7] glued to one sheet of metallic foil paper, and green construction paper for the face and body. The Jedi master comes to life with the fold of an extended hand, and layers that make up Yoda's furrowed brow and tired face.

I tried filling a decent sized crack in the bottom of my plastic boat. I put several thin coats on one at a time & let each coat cure completely. After about 1 1/2 weeks & before I put the boat in the water, the flex seal began to crack & chipped off. The area I was sealing had some flex to it, which is what caused the cracking. I assume if the area had no flex, the product would work. However, the product once cured, does NOT FLEX.

I'd used this product before, and it worked well. It has a tendency to seem like it's running out early (with product remaining in the can), but you just have to hold the can at the proper angle to get the last bit of it out. This product is priced consistently across the web - except at Rural King, where I believe it was $2 cheaper per can. It arrived very quickly, well packaged. The product worked well to fix the roof leaks I'd purchased it for. Rural King provided some sort of insurance as a free add-on that was a nice touch. Very happy with both the product and Rural King.

Marc-Andre Bourdon loaned to Phantoms
Boruk and Tocchet on Flyers' SO loss
Marc-Andre Bourdon has missed over a year because of concussion-like symptoms. (USA Today Images)
As expected, the Flyers on Monday activated Marc-Andre Bourdon from the injured/non-roster list and loaned him to the Adirondack Phantoms.
Bourdon, who was recovering from post-concussion symptoms for over a year, skated with the team on Sunday and was optimistic about his future after the practice session.
The 24-year-old said he is in the best shape of his career, which he is anxious to resume.
"I'm cleared to play," Bourdon said after practice Sunday (see story). "I came here to see the doctors from the Flyers just as procedure. I'll go wherever the organization sends me and I'm ready to play hard."
Bourdon hasn't played since he suffered a concussion against Binghamton on Nov. 30, 2012, when he was with the Phantoms.
The 6-foot, 225-pound defenseman spent the past two months at the University of Michigan to receive treatment from concussion specialists.
"There were six people following me all the time," Bourdon said. "There was a guy I worked out with, two therapists, a guy for my neck, spine and pelvis, the main doctor and a massage girl. They did tremendous work. I was wondering when it was going to happen. I'm thankful to every doctor and the Flyers' organization that did everything in their power to get me back."
Bourdon was expected to compete for a roster spot on the Flyers' blue line last season when the NHL lockout ended, but his symptoms kept him off the ice.
He appeared in 45 games with the Flyers in 2011-12 and impressed the team with his physical play.
However, Bourdon suffered his first concussion that same season while with the Flyers and did not alert the team of his injury because he was afraid of losing his spot on the roster.
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren called Bourdon's battle back to the professional level a "feel-good story" on Sunday, and said a lot of people are "rooting for him."
Bourdon is on a one-way contract, but he doesn't have to clear waivers because of the special circumstances surrounding his recovery.
The Flyers were able to use those special circumstances because they placed the defenseman on waivers back in September and he went unclaimed.
