I dislike the term but for the purposes of this conversation, I am a gun nut.
This is a discussion on Gun nut or just ccw ? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I bought my first real home defense gun (S&W 38, 64-3 ) when I was about 25 years old. I did'nt really get into guns ...
I bought my first real home defense gun (S&W 38, 64-3 ) when I was about 25 years old. I did'nt really get into guns until about a year and a half ago. I'm pushing 50 years old. For carry, I have my XD40SC and my 642 . Holsters, I have IWB and OWB for each gun, and a Galco deep concealment holster , a Mika pocket holster and a smart carry for my 642.
I'm not itching to buy anymore equipment or guns, I only have what I feel I need for ccw. I've also spent a fortune on new clothes for concealment.
So my question is, how many of you are "gun nuts" and just can't resist buying new gear or new guns and how many just want the necessary equipment to ccw? I'm aware money plays a part in it , so I'm sure there are lots out there that would buy more "toys" if they could afford it.
I'm just happy knowing I've got good equipment for carry. I believe "if you're gonna do it , do it right".
I dislike the term but for the purposes of this conversation, I am a gun nut.

I wish I was a gun nut, but being a Disabled Veteran I live month to month. So I can only afford so much at one time. I only have one semi auto 1911 which I traded two other SA's and a 10/22 for, but it was new when I got it. I also have a lever action and two shot guns. Will be getting another 10/22 though just for fun.

Robere, like you said it depends on the budget and still you will end up buying stuff. Let's say you get the itch to try a shooting sport that dovetails with your CCW outlook because just going to the range and shoot at paper without moving is no fun. You start shooting IDPA, exchange info with other shooters and <gasp> try their guns. All of the sudden you will want to change springs, maybe change the sights (after all we are getting old and need them Xpress Big Dot front sigh), or maybe the new UPLULA magazine loader to save a sore thumb......... believe me even going cheap you will spend money but it is well spent money.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

Ego will kill you. Leave it at home.
Signed: Me!
Been doing it a long time. Got guns for all kinds of purposes, CC just happens to be one and If got numerous guns & options for that too.
Guns and shooting are hobbies I shared with my dad since I was a young boy.
Have been trying to find something in the gun world equivalent to what AA is to the drinker. Gave up and just embraced my weakness, so , I guess that makes me somewhat of a gun nut.
I wouldn't consider calling someone a golf nut or a tennis nut or my wife a shoe nut..so why a gun nut? guns and shooting are my hobbies;a friend of mine has four different sets of golf clubs..its his hobby.
I have several handguns and long guns ..its my hobby and pastime..nothing "nuts"about it!
comfort is priceless. what's the point of defending one's self in this day and age if you have a howitzer under tissue paper and can't stand going out in public because it's such an effort to conceal. it's worth the little extra to have the peace of mind that it's in the shadows until needed. all willing, i think we all hope that's where it's going to stay... so why not be comfortable without the tucked arms and readjustments, as much as possible.
What's this button do?
I don't think gun nut is a good way to describe what I am. Hang on I'll ask my wife...
"You're so crazy about 'em" (giggles) (a lot)
I think I was in denial. I like to think of it as being prepared. But I would like to be prepared by having a gun for every possible situation.
"You're also very good at coming up with reasons for having any gun you want."
So, I'm crazy, and talented. I can live with that.
I shoot my extensive collection, and I love guns. Shot my whole life, started collecting guns as soon as I was old enough to do so. Dealer for most of my adult life, helped fuel the desire. Competed most of my life as well, short range, long range, rifle and handgun. Gun nut? did not realize they grew them....
I know, I know, you are smarter than me..just ask you..
Not a "gun nut", just a purchaser fulfilling the needs of a strategic plan.
1. CCW - 9mm full size, 9mm compact, .38 pocket
2. Home Defense - .45 handgun, 12 ga. shotgun
3. SHTF - AR, AK-47, .308 precision scoped rifle
Buying the above list, including all accessories, requires alot of cash for weapons that may or may not ever be used except for practice. This is ok by me as I guess I'm the pessimist that believes the inevitable need for these weapons could and will come to pass.
I believe it is better to be prepared for the worst rather than hope for the best!
Stay Safe!

How I did the "Protecting The Relic"
Ok, first off I was really really dreading this part. I get frustrated and upset EASY and quickly. Especially with games lol. After reading all the horrid posts about this section I was prepared to pretty much snap so I turned some tunes on high and just played. And I found this part rather easy, compared to some other spots. Probably pure luck, but ima just throw out what I did and hopefully help some others out. I have it set on Legendary difficulty and the weapon im using is the long legendary staff. It only took me 2 tries to get this.
1. Immediately command thanes to close the passage to the right.
while they're doing this go to the wooden platform.
2.Help command them closigin this off then stop and fight off the men that're coming for the relic
3. stay right at the relic and just swing that staff with everything you got aiming for the one closest to relic with the long reach of the staff itll it more than what you need.
4. after the passage is closed, send thanes to first boulder, just have them go at it at their normal pace. Let it roll when it does. and just stay at the platform.
5.anytime anyone starts beraking through order ur men to protect you an swing away wit the staff.
rinse and repeat but dont release the second boulder until the trolls start coming. and let your men fight with any trolls that are left and with hope they wont let the troll through. when you think everything is done, go an finish off any stragglers.
hope this helps and hopefully this makes sense. if not let me know and ill help anyone out. im kinda stoked so i rushed through it.

R700: First previews of the HD 4870 X2
Both Anandtech and Hexus each got a prototype and were able to deliver some tests and benchmark results. Among games the power consumption and loudness were recorded, too.
Before all else: You have to keep in mind, that the Catalyst drivers used for the tests are not final, yet. Furthermore both sites were not allowed to present more than four game benchmarks. Additionally the idle power consumption had to be kept secret, because Powerplay has not yet been integrated correctly.
While Anandtech used a Intel QX9770 on a 790i SLI board, Hexus took a QX6850 on a 680i SLI respectively and Intel X48 board. The drivers were the Catalyst 8.6 Press Release 5 (Hexus) or the 8.7 Beta (Anandtech). The cards themselves didn't differ much, besides the black PCB, from the HD 3870 X2, even the rumored 2,048 MiByte video memory are missing.
In every benchmark the Radeon HD 4870 X2 behaves like a Crossfire team of two HD 4870s. In Age of Conan for example the card is way ahead of two (!) GTX 280, in the Hexus Crysis benchmark on the other hand it loses against the Geforce card. It seems like Crossfire is not working properly in Crytek's shooter - a single HD 4870 receives equal results. In situations where crossfire is working, it scales excellent with about 80 to almost 100 percent - a GTX 280 stands without a chance. Therefore the HD 4870 X2, in principle, offers a great performance, which nevertheless depends on the driver.
Under full load the dual GPU card needs in combination with the other components of the Anandtech setup 407 Watts - this is 30 percent more than the GTX 280. In the Hexus system the difference is even higher: 395 Watts equal 40 percent higher energy consumption. In opposition to AMD's restriction the idle consumption was recorded, too, which with 242 Watts is alarmingly high - the GTX 280 needs about half as much. Regarding the loudness the Radeon and the Geforce are equal noisemakers.
Please bear in mind, that performance, power consumption and loudness of the final card can differ from the results shown here.

BeschreibungPortland is often associated with the mythological phoenix, the animal that rises out of the ashes of its apparent death. Life here has often been a struggle: to overcome the disastrous fires of 1775 and 1866; to rebuild after the change in Canadian policy in 1920 that devastated the waterfront; and to outlast the Depression and the other economic crises that have affected the area. The people of Portland have always faced these problems head on, survived, and rebuilt the city stronger then it was before. This delightful pictorial history is a moving tribute to their spirit and drive. Portland features more than 200 images that together document life in Maine's largest city over the last 130 years. We see immigrants arrive from all corners of the world and watch as they build lives and businesses in their new home; we witness the waterfront and Congress Street rise, fall, and rise again; and we observe how the political scene has changed and been changed by everyday people. Perhaps the most interesting photographs are those of everyday life: of people working, playing sports, relaxing, falling in love, and living life to its fullest.

It's notoriously difficult to find somewhere to rent. Getting a place in the right area, for the right price and with enough space to be comfortable is a familiar headache. But one woman encountered a problem of a different variety when she went to look at a room in a shared house – the landlord. Laura Evelyn said that while the price was reasonable, the list of demands given to her after the viewing was the deal-breaker. The four-page list included such stipulations as "Don't leave dirty dishes in the sink otherwise a £15 charge will be added to rent" and "NO GUESTS WITHOUT PRIOR CONSENT VIA TEXT AND VERBAL".
Have you ever had a demanding landlord or lived with people whose expectations of their flatmates were unreasonable? Tell us your horror stories in the thread below.

Ford Grand C-Max - Click above for high-res image gallery
When Ford announced last year that it would build new global C-Segment cars in North America, it mentioned that a compact MPV would join our more traditional Focus models. With the introduction of the new seven-seat Grand C-Max at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Dearborn automaker has confirmed that this larger model will be the first addition to the North American lineup. Ford didn't rule out eventually adding the smaller five-seater, but wouldn't commit to that right now.
The Grand C-Max marks something of a return to the minivan space for Ford after the spectacular commercial failure of the Freestar a few years back. This time around, the Grand C-Max is just slightly larger than the current Mazda 5, which should make it about the same as the original short-wheelbase Chrysler minivans of the Eighties.
The Grand C-Max gets a novel middle row seat with a center section can fold down and collapse into a bundle that slides under the right hand section. This allows it to be transformed from a seven- to a six-seater, giving easy access to the third row. Of course, that third row will only be suitable for small kids and most owners are more likely to simply fold them flat and take advantage of the extra cargo space.
We expect the Grand C-Max to arrive on U.S. shores in late 2011, possibly carrying the "Focus Grand C-Max" title – a moniker which the Blue Oval used in Europe before truncating the name to "C-Max" after the vehicle gained consumer awareness. Check out the high-res image gallery above as well as a couple of videos and the official press release after the jump.
Check out the latest edition of the Autoblog Podcast as Ford's Mark Schirmer and Mark Kaufman join us to discuss the new C-Max, EcoBoost and the rest of the C-Segment vehicles.

PITTSBURGH -- Not so long ago, this game would have been about titillation.
This season's second of four meetings between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins scheduled for Wednesday at Mellon Arena would have been underscored by Alexander Semin's comments earlier this season questioning what all the buzz was about surrounding Sidney Crosby.
And there would have been the simmering animosity between Crosby's teammate Evgeni Malkin and Washington star Alex Ovechkin, a healthy dislike that dates back a couple of offseasons when, sources told ESPN.com, a dispute in a Russian bar left Malkin's advisor with a broken jaw that had to be wired shut for a month.
And of course, there would have been the simple buzz that all intersections of the league's two great young stars, Crosby and Ovechkin, seem destined to create for as long as they're in the league.
Not so long ago that would have been more than enough to drive the interest level of this mid-January midweek contest well beyond the normal.
Yet as the game approaches, those subplots pale in comparison to the larger stories and divergent paths of these two young teams.
As much as Crosby and Ovechkin have enjoyed a compelling match of tit for tat since coming into the league after the lockout, the teams themselves are following eerily similar patterns.
Ovechkin, of course, edged Crosby as rookie of the year in 2005-06, and the young stars' teams struggled: The Pens finished dead last in the Eastern Conference, and the Capitals only marginally better at 14th.
The Capitals struggled again during Ovechkin's sophomore season in 2006-07, once more finishing 14th in the conference. Crosby took a giant individual stride forward, winning the NHL scoring title and the Hart Trophy, while his Penguins surprised many by finishing with 105 points and qualifying for the playoffs a season or two ahead of expectations before bowing out to Ottawa in the first round.
Last season, it was Ovechkin's turn in the limelight. He duplicated Crosby's efforts by winning the scoring title and the Hart Trophy as the Capitals shook off a miserable start to win the Southeast Division on the final weekend of the regular season. The Capitals lost in the first round to Philadelphia, a Game 7 overtime thriller at a suddenly jam-packed Verizon Center in downtown Washington.
Crosby battled a high-ankle sprain that sidelined him for six weeks and kept him from challenging Ovechkin for the scoring title. But Crosby returned to lead the Penguins to the Stanley Cup finals and finished tied for the playoff scoring lead with 27 points.
And so it has gone for these iconic stars and their franchises: first one, then the other, stepping up and forward.
This season, it is the Capitals who seem poised to take that next Penguins-like stride forward. Although they had a nine-game home winning streak stopped last Friday by Columbus and then lost the following night in Montreal thanks to a last-minute goal, Washington entered this week on a 14-4 run and was firmly ensconced in first place in the Southeast.
The Capitals' East-best 18-2-1 home record has given them a good grasp on the second overall seed in the conference, the same position from which the Penguins launched their playoff run last spring.
As was the case last season when the Penguins ramped up their level of play in the second half, there is more than a little buzz surrounding the Capitals in a former hockey wasteland and what they might be capable of in the coming weeks and months.
Ovechkin has shaken off a slow start and is in hot pursuit of Malkin for the NHL scoring lead. Semin, despite being dogged by injury, has emerged as a significant foil to Ovechkin's greatness with 36 points and a plus-21 rating in 25 games. It's a performance that is mindful of the way Malkin came into his own when Crosby was hurt last season and finished second in NHL scoring to Ovechkin.
With a deep, speedy lineup that includes slick-skating defenseman Mike Green and top playmaker Nicklas Backstrom, the Capitals are as dynamic a team as there is in the NHL, ranking sixth in goals per game and power-play proficiency.
Funny, that's exactly how the Penguins were described last season.
But on the eve of this latest matchup, those Penguins seem like a distant memory.
Battling injuries to key personnel, like defensemen Sergei Gonchar and Ryan Whitney (who just returned to action), and trying to incorporate a handful of new players into their lineup, the air has gone out of the Penguins' balloon.
Heading into Tuesday's game in Philadelphia against the Atlantic Division-leading Flyers, the Penguins were 10th in the East and have won just five of their past 18 games.
In 2007-08, the Penguins were a dynamic force, not just because they could score from anywhere in the lineup (they were fifth in the conference in goals scored and fifth overall on the power play), but because they didn't rely solely on offense to succeed. Under coach Michel Therrien, the Pens were a surprisingly tight defensive unit, allowing the third-fewest goals in the conference behind New Jersey and the New York Rangers.
This season, the Pens rank 25th in goals allowed per game. The power play, even with Malkin and Crosby usually on the ice at the same time, ranks 20th. Last season, the Penguins had a plus-22 goal differential, tied for fourth in the NHL; this season, they are minus-5.
Not surprisingly, the dramatic decline in productivity has produced more than a little angst in Pittsburgh, and rumors that both GM Ray Shero and Therrien are on thin ice.
In some ways, the arc of both teams suggests there is a very small window for most teams to ascend and take advantage of that ascension. In the case of the Penguins, at least to date, the window can close without warning.
Had Philly's Joffrey Lupul not scored that overtime winner in Game 7 last spring and the Capitals prevailed, it would have set up a second-round series matchup against the Penguins. The prospect of Crosby, Ovechkin et al squaring off in the postseason is enough to make even the most jaded hockey scribe salivate.
Such a confrontation may yet be in the cards for these two teams, but only if the Penguins can somehow find the groove the Caps now find themselves happily occupying.

And a little side note, whenever Carmelo doesn't play my man Chris Copeland comes off the bench for the Knicks. I went to high school with this kid and he's a 28 year old rookie who played over seas for 5+ years. Love the dedication. Plus he dropped 14 points last night.

T-Mobile USA's (TMUS) apparent revival and views that Sprint's 4G network upgrade will heat up competition make it less likely regulators would approve any merger of T-Mobile and Sprint.
If No. 3 Sprint and No. 4 T-Mobile rebound, then wireless leaders Verizon Wireless and AT&T (T) face a tougher market amid slowing revenue and subscriber growth industrywide.
In Q2, T-Mobile USA added 688,000 postpaid wireless customers, the first time in four years it added subscribers with service contracts. Contract customers usually spend more than prepaid customers. T-Mobile's stock has risen 50% since it closed its merger with MetroPCS on May 1.
Besides the Sprint-T-Mobile thoughts, speculation that satellite broadcaster Dish Network (DISH) could buy T-Mobile USA has helped boost T-Mobile shares. T-Mobile's rising valuation and purported asking price, though, lead some analysts to doubt that a Dish deal could get done.
Japan-based SoftBank acquired 78% of Sprint for $21.6 billion in July. SoftBank might be interested in buying out Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY), which owns 74% of T-Mobile USA, analysts say.
The Department of Justice, however, shot down AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile in 2011, saying the deal would reduce competition. The Obama administration is likely to take the same stance on a Sprint-T-Mobile merger, especially if both firms are on the upswing rather than struggling, says Craig Moffett, of Moffett Research.
"The DOJ has made it abundantly clear that they want four (national) players, not three," Moffett told IBD. "T-Mobile's resurgence can only make the DOJ's stance that much more definitive.
"Sprint's capital spending is soaring and T-Mobile is undercutting everyone else's pricing. Why would (regulators) do anything to compromise that? The view in Washington is, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.'"
Paul Gallant, an analyst at Guggenheim Partners, agrees.
"The recent actions of Sprint and T-Mobile are likely to reinforce regulators' instincts to preserve a four-player wireless market," Gallant said in a research report.
He says T-Mobile's aggressive pricing and new phone upgrades, which let consumers buy smartphones on installment payment plans, are the kind of pro-competition moves regulators want. Sprint recently cut the price of its unlimited data services, a move that regulators also view favorably, he says.
4G Competition Seen Rising
SoftBank, meanwhile, will provide Sprint cash to build out radio spectrum it obtained by acquiring all of Clearwire last month .
Verizon Wireless and AT&T have leaped ahead in 4G coverage.
Sprint lost 2 million subscribers in Q2, including 1.05 million postpaid customers, mainly due to the shutdown of Nextel's longtime iDEN network. Many analysts believe Sprint would start adding postpaid subscribers with its 4G buildout and new products and services it could offer.
"If all four carriers are doing well, it will make it hard for Sprint and T-Mobile to merge under this administration," UBS analyst John Hodulik told IBD via e-mail. "(T-Mobile) would have to lose momentum and go downhill for it to happen."
Both T-Mobile USA and Sprint do face challenges on the comeback trail.
T-Mobile's Q2 profit margins slipped as subsidies for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and other items raised costs. T-Mobile's average monthly revenue per user fell.
T-Mobile lowered its EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) guidance for 2013. T-Mobile will face higher costs as it expands the MetroPCS brand into more markets, analysts say.
Analysts expect marketing and advertising battles to intensify.
With the wireless market maturing, revenue growth has slowed for service providers. Postpaid subscriber growth has slowed at Verizon Wireless and AT&T, which both missed Q2 profit estimates.
Hodulik says T-Mobile's price-cutting and its "un-carrier" strategy — no long-term contract required, and users can upgrade to new phones for "free" and pay in monthly installments — and Sprint's expected 4G promotions will likely take a toll on profit margins across the industry as competition ramps up.
"We do not expect the pressure from T-Mobile to abate," he said in a report. "In fact, the Un-carrier 3.0 initiative, expected in September or October, will probably be another body blow for the industry. Beyond this, we expect SoftBank-backed Sprint to enter the fray in 2014."

A divorced father of three stabbed his mother 21 times after becoming convinced that she was a witch and had put a curse on him, a court heard today.
Kayode Kuye tortured and killed Christina Kuye, 69, because he believed she had ruined his life with a black magic spell, the Old Bailey was told.
Unemployed Kuye, 50, of Edmonton, north London, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Judge Christopher Moss locked up the paranoid schizophrenic indefinitely under mental health laws and described it as a "brutal" killing.
Kuye attacked his mother after letting himself into her home in Finchley, north London, with a key in May last year, the court heard.
After a lengthy argument he knifed her 21 times to the upper body, also slashing her arms and hands as he tried to defend herself.
He was later arrested covered in blood at Finchley Central station, laughing as he said: "I have had an argument with my mother."
Officers forced their way into her home where they found her body in her bedroom.
Kuye later told psychiatrists that his purpose was "to torture his mother to try to prevent her from continuing what he perceived to be black magic upon him," said Alan Kent QC, prosecuting.
Mr Kent said: "The motivation behind his attack was his paranoid and deluded belief that his mother had cursed him through witchcraft and had ruined his life."
Mrs Kuye came to Britain from Nigeria in 1961 with her husband, who died on 1984. She had eight children, including the defendant, and 20 grandchildren.
She herself believed in witchcraft and her son became increasingly interested in the subject during the four years before he killed her.
His mother helped him get in touch with a witch doctor she knew in Nigeria and he would send him money "for advice and medicine", the court heard.
Two years before the killing he began to blame her for all his problems, saying she had "sacrificed him as a child and had put a curse on him".
He believed that "he was a king and should be rich but the curse prevented this from happening".
For about a year before his mother's death he had been saying he was going to kill her, as well as other family members.
On the day of the stabbing he had been "ranting and raving" at his ex-wife and told her that "he had to go and do what he had to do", the court heard.

Lychnopholide, a substance isolated from a Brazilian plant, and formulated as part of "nanocapsules" cured more than half of a group of mice that had been infected experimentally with Chagas disease parasites.
"Chagas disease affects millions of people, mainly in poor rural areas of 21 Latin American countries," said Marta de Lana, PhD. The research is published in online ahead of print June 20 in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
The new nanocapsules that constitute the delivery system for the lychnopholide in this study are a clever advance over the previous version. The previous–conventional–nanocapsules are recognized as foreign and attacked by host immune cells as they travel through the blood, before entering host cells, where the parasites lodge, said de Lana, who is Professor of Clinical Parasitology, in the School of Pharmacy, the Federal University of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The new "stealth" nanocapsules are designed to go unrecognized by immune cells that patrol the blood. Once they enter host cells, they release the lychnopholide, killing the parasites,Trypanosome cruzi.
Another advantage of the stealth nanocapsules is that they can be taken orally, rather than intravenously, as they are impervious to the acidity and enzymes of the stomach. This is far more practical, especially in less developed countries.
Not surprisingly, the stealth nanocapsules are considerably more effective than the conventional nanocapsules. In the study, in the acute (early) phase of the disease, the stealth nanocapsules cured 62.5 percent of the mice, compared to 57.0 percent for the conventional nanocapsules. During the later chronic phase, the stealth and the conventional nanocapsules cured 55.6 percent and 30.0 percent of the mice, respectively.
"Both nanoencapsulated formulations are so simple that they may be produced in a simple laboratory," said de Lana. Additionally, scale-up for commercial production would be simple, she said.

Payday lender must reimburse Idahoans
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The state attorney general's office says Idaho residents are eligible for restitution from a Utah-based payday loan lender that was not licensed to practice in the state and attempted to garnish the wages of borrowers without a court order. Attorney General Lawrence says Flobridge Group, LLC has agreed to refund borrowers who sent the company payments after receiving collection notices, wage garnishment requests or court documents. The company agreed to the refunds as part of a settlement. Wasden says Idaho barred Flobridge Group from payday lending within its borders last year because the company wasn't licensed by the Department of Finance. Idaho claims an investigation found the lender hounded borrowers who missed payments with repeated calls, emails and texts to them and their employers while also threatening unauthorized legal action.

Too many miles to do today. While we wanted to get the the Skyline by following the blue ridge all the way up, we'd be too slow. As such, it ended up being an Interstate morning.
The skyline is, however, a lovely ride. Simply continuation of the Blue Ridge, the toll fees are annoying and the trees make it feel a little more claustrophobic. But it's another great way to spend an afternoon.

Saints Falling from Grace (9 of 15) by Ernest Easley
This content is part of a series.Saints Falling from Grace
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Galatians 5.1-12
October 22, 2006
As we continue our study of the book of Galatians under the heading LIBERTY .. NOT LEGALISM ... we come this morning to chapter 5.
Now as we move into chapter 5 .. Paul continues talking about liberty verses bondage ... that is .. the liberty of grace and the bondage of the law. And as we saw last time .. it is one or the other: Free or Slave ... Liberty or Bondage ... the law of God or the grace of God!
We are either liberated from the law or we are incarcerated by the law. The law is either keeping us in bondage or grace is keeping us in blessing. And what was the purpose of the law? To show us that we're sinners in need of a savior because nobody can keep the law!
Paul explained that back in 3.24-25, "Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor." Once you know Christ .. you no longer need a tutor. The purpose of the tutor was to bring us to Christ. Coming to know Jesus gives you a greater appreciation for the law! Because it's the law that shows you that you don't measure up! Nobody does. In fact .. only one measured up and that's Jesus!
Now look with me to chapter 5 .. Galatians 5. Now this morning we're going to read some seemingly strange words from Paul. Let's just look at .. verse 4, " "... you have fallen from grace." That makes you want to rub your eyes as to erase what you just saw and read it again. O.k. let's read it again, " .. you have fallen from grace."
You say, "Perhaps we have a bad translation from the Greek." O.K. here's what the Greek literally says, "the grace you fell from." That doesn't really help us either.
Well .. let me tell you what I've learned about the Word of God? I've learned that I don't have to be afraid of anything I find in it. Now I may not understand it .. I may not be able to ...

By DAN KARELL
Italy sits on the verge of qualifying for the knockout rounds after just two games, but faces another tough test in the heat of Recife on Friday (12 p.m. ESPN).
The Azzurri take on Costa Rica, which stunned the world when it took down a Luis Suarez-less Uruguay, 3-1, on Saturday. Interestingly, the Italians will see some of their national culture and identity at the Arena Pernambucano when they look across the field.
Under coach Jorge Luis Pinto, Costa Rica has transitioned into a defensively hardened team with a five-man back line that will make life difficult for opposing teams trying to move the ball through the middle. On the counter attack, Celso Borges and Yeltsin Tejada play key roles driving the ball forward, and of course we've all seen the kind of performances Joel Campbell can put forth if given time and space.
Italy on the other hand has taken advantage of an abundance of top-notch midfielders, moving to a more passing-oriented system. In the opener against England, Italy completed 606 passes with an 89 percent passing completion rate, with central midfielders Daniele De Rossi and Andrea Pirlo controlling the tempo.
With the way Colombia is playing right now, Italy will be extra motivated to beat Costa Rica so that the Azzurri finish at the top of Group D and face either Ivory Coast, Japan, or Greece.
Here are some more notes on Friday's slate of games:
SWITZERLAND vs. FRANCE
Two nations sharing a common border and common national team identities face off on Friday at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador (3 p.m. ESPN)
Both Switzerland and France are coming off opening match wins, though they came by different circumstances. Switzerland struggled to break down Ecuador's defensive line and will have an even tougher time against Raphael Varane and Laurent Koscielny.
France on the other hand had no issues dealing with Honduras, completely dominating possession from the get go with the midfield trio of Yohan Cabaye, Paul Pogba, and Blaise Matuidi putting in terrific performances. Switzerland's holding midfield duo of Valon Behrami and Gohkan Inler will need to put together a better performance to keep their nation in the game against France.
The two nations also feature a whole host of dual nationals who represent their multi-cultural societies. A win for either team puts them in pole position to finish at the top of the group, likely avoiding Argentina in the knockout round—assuming the Albiceleste finish first in Group F.
HONDURAS vs. ECUADOR
Both Honduras and Ecuador are looking to pick themselves off the floor after demoralizing defeats in their opening matches.
The positive for neutral spectators is that both of these teams need a win, and when they meet up at the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba (6 p.m. ESPN), there should be some flowing attacking soccer on display. Ecuador's wingers Antonio Valencia (right) and Jefferson Montero (left) will need to step up their performances. At their best, both can be world beaters.
Honduras will have to be on guard on the outside, with Marvin Chavez and Roger Espinoza tracking back to help right back Bryan Beckeles and left back Emilio Izaguirre. But the middle of the field is where Honduras could win the battles, especially if Oscar Boniek Garcia is ready to go.
What do you think of today's slate of matches? Do you see Italy overcoming Costa Rica in Recife? Think that France can keep up their strong run of form? Who do you see winning the Ecuador versus Honduras match?
Share your thoughts below.
"Interestingly, the Italians will see some of their national culture and identity when they look across the field at the Arena Pernambucano."
Can anyone clairify?
Italian football is predicated on two ideas. One is a strong defense, and second is a wonderful ability to attack from a defensive posture, or counter attack. It's part of Italy's culture and identity.
Some people might suggest that the Italian game is not one to emulate, because it can be not pretty for people who like lots of goal shots, however four stars might suggest otherwise.
As soon as I saw Honduras had started a 4-4-2 against France I knew they were going to get smoked and that's exactly what happened. They were pretty much set up to fail and if they do it again against Ecuador I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see it happen all over again.
I think them getting smoked had much more to do with the red card than it did with the formation. Up until the red card, it was a stalemate.
I definitely hope Boniek Garcia is starting today, he was the only one who brought life to their attack.
Paul Terry
OK, so if players commit dangerous fouls or intentional handballs, should they be getting yellow or red cards, or should we strike that rule from the books? I think Honduras had made it a "stalemate" by constantly chopping down the French players.
Also, and in no way defending England, Uruguay should've had a player sent off for second yellow, but was given a "break" and his team ended up winning. Yet, nobody is making that an issue, mainly because England is such a disappointment they don't deserve any sympathy.
I don't think there was any claiming the red card was wrong – just that it changed the game.
Paul Terry
But there was a claim that it was a "stalemate" before the red card. I simply pointed the reason it was a stalemate and how the red card made the game a fair contest.
Calm down buddy it's the internet.
When did I say the red wasn't deserved?
All I'm saying is the red was what changed the game not the formation. Prior to the red it was 0-0 so it was a stalemate. I'm not sure how you don't get that
Nate Dollars
yeah, i love andy najar from his time in dc, but he didn't look very good, and they definitely looked better with boniek garcia in.
Yes, the red card hurt and the other reason they got smoked is that France has much better players.
That was kind of my point in a round-a-bout way. Playing a 4-4-2 when you're up against a significantly better team is bold but absolutely playing with fire. Costa Rica and Mexico have done better than expected by sitting back in their 5-3-2 defensively then breaking quickly when they get the ball into a 3-5-2. Heck I think even the Netherlands did that against Spain, just WAY more effectively obviously.
Paul Terry
My predictions:
Italy 2-0 or 2-1
France 2-1
Ecuador Honduras 0-0 or 1-1, if there has to be a winner then Ecuador by one goal.
I would be surprised if I got this all wrong.
Paul Terry
*would not be surprised
Actually Italy can't clinch no matter what they do in this game, due to the URU-ENG game yesterday. URU, ITA and CR can all end up with six points and then it goes to tiebreakers.
But obviously they'd be pretty close to clinching.
I love both these teams, sort of want a tie.
empty space
And if Italy win tonight then England is still alive. Of course they'd have to beat Costa Rica and possibly overcome some goal difference (and have Italy beat Uruguay), but it would help create a lively set of final group-stage matches.
No: if Italy wins, they're through, and likely in first place at the end.
Sorry, my bad. Such simple rules, so many possibilities.
Paul Terry
I'd like for Costa Rica to beat Italy, so Italy and Uruguay would kill each other for that second spot. Or, at the very least a tie, so that Italy's last game vs. Uruguay is meaningful. However, I understand, this is not Christmas season yet.
Bruno Alves might be out against US on Sunday. But, their backups are pretty good at cb. Costa and neto both play at big clubs and are very talented. I think people are looking a little too far into these injuries. They are still a strong team — better than Ghana.
I'd say that Portugal absolutely has better players than Ghana, but are they a better team? I'm not so sure. Guess we'll find out pretty quick!
Paul Terry
Guys, Portugal knows that if they beat USMNT and Ghana, they are through. So, they are gonna come out with a lot to play for. Pepe was the cause of their debacle against Germany, not that Germany wouldn't have won. The USMNT must hold them to a draw; that is by all means a bad result. Go get a quick goal and DO NOT BUNKER DOWN again. Take note from Mexico's performance against Brazil. The reason Brazil did not have more scoring opportunities is because Mexico held the ball and took it to them, without fear and with determination. That's what I want from our boys.
Nate Dollars
brasil and portugal are not the same team. portugal thrives on counter-attacking. *especially* if we get an early goal (and maybe even if not), i would have no problem bunkering down against them.
Amen! Go Yanks!
Can Howard then have a match like Ochoa did? I'm not so sure how far you can really get, asking that much from your keeper. Ochoa's performance was by far the best of this tournament.
Mexico frustrated the heck out of Brazil by playing very defensively, it was amazing to see them play that way instead of with that false bravado from the past imo. They 'bunkered' about as much as I've ever seen them do, all of the folks I was watching with were impressed and amazed as much as I was, which was a lot. Herrera is awesome for getting them to play so organized back there and commit to it, and they got some good fortune with Ochoa coming up big, and Brazil could not figure out how to get through time and time again. only when Mexico was drawn out did Brazil look dangerous seemed to me
